Cast Interviews
Katherine Parkinson. Being pregnant playing pregnant must have brought a whole other dimension…
“I read these scripts and that didn’t help my broodiness. It’s been a lovely job to be pregnant on. I’d just filmed the Honourable Woman, just before this, playing pregnant in that too.”
Hermione Norris. How was the experience of working with such a strong female cast?
“It was fantastic to work with such wonderful women. It really was a lovely bunch of brilliant actresses all playing such diverse characters; we had such a positive collective experience.”
Jill Halfpenny. How was the experience of working with such a strong female cast? How was it getting together with the cast to watch episode one together?
“Working with a strong female cast was a joy and it was lovely to all get together to watch episode one at the screening. We worked hard and we want everyone to love it.”
Hannah Midgley. How’s it been working with such an esteemed cast?
“Amazing – I’ve loved every minute of it and I’ve developed a really strong friendship with Katherine. It’s strange as it’s mainly been us, Jonathan and Tara and everyone else has been doing their own scenes. They are all so lovely, and really care about what you do. I feel like it’s gone so quickly it seems to have just flown by.”
Don’t forget, if you miss any of the episodes original broadcasts on BBC One, catch-up will be available for a limited time online via BBC iPlayer.
