Outlander: Blood of My Blood is barrelling towards its series finale, with the latest episode of the prequel seeing the loathsome Lord Lovat (Tony Curran) targeted by his unwilling bride Julia (Hermione Corfield) and her ally Davina (Sara Porter).

The two women put together a mixture that renders the brute impotent on his wedding night, which actor Curran said he approved of as a rare moment where the tables are turned on his villainous character.

"Any time that we can undermine him, humiliate him, make a fool of him, then Tony as an actor, I want to do that," said Curran, in an interview with TV Insider.

Of the scene in question, he added: "I just thought physically, visually looking at it, having his hand on the bed, it kind of looked ridiculous and sort of quite funny."

The moment may come as welcome relief after the distressing events of episode 6, with showrunner Matthew B Roberts previously telling RadioTimes.com that he didn't want to "water down" the violent nature of this historical period.

Outlander: Blood of My Blood follows the dramatic love stories of Ellen MacKenzie (Harriet Slater) and Brian Fraser (Jamie Roy) – future parents to Sam Heughan's Jamie – as well as Julia Moriston (Hermione Corfield) and Henry Beauchamp (Jeremy Irvine), who would go on to raise Caitríona Balfe's Claire.
