Father Simeon (Richard Wilson) makes his first appearance this week on Demons. Photo copyright of Sony.

SPOILER ALERT!! - Six-year-old Madge might think her sister Ally (Grace Vance) has been "taken up to heaven by an angel," but Galvin (Philip Glenister) suspects otherwise. Everything points to half-life involvement and he thinks it's the perfect project for Luke (Christian Cooke). A visit to the cadaverous Father Simeon (Richard Wilson) confirms Galvin's suspicions. Gilgamel (Rick English) is no angel - he's a travesty demon, a type nine entity attracted by the odor of sanctity. When Ruby's (Holiday Grainger) younger brother Jamie (Ben Walker) is also caught by the creature, they are left with no choice. Luke must summon the two-thousand-year-old half-life and defeat him or else the children will be lost forever. The Whole Enchilada airs Saturday, January 9th @ 9:00 p.m. EST/PST on BBC America.

This contemporary spin on the character of Van Helsing features Luke Rutherford (Christian Cooke) as an average teenager, but with the arrival of his dead father's best friend Rupert Galvin (Philip Glenister, Life on Mars, Ashes to Ashes), Luke's life is about to be flipped upside down. Galvin is a straight-talking, headstrong American who has come to tell Luke his secret destiny - he's the real-life great-great grandson of Abraham Van Helsing, the vampire hunter in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Luke's destined to inherit the family mantle as a warrior in the coldest of wars against the supernatural entities behind every myth and legend from vampires to werewolves and all things that go bump in the night.
