What’s the view from your sofa?
What programmes do you like to watch?
When you’re watching murder mysteries, do you always try to guess whodunnit?
Did you try to solve the case when you read the scripts for Bookish?
Not at all! I read them initially as a story, with an eye on the character, and I really enjoyed it. Mark Gatiss’s writing is clever, like him, and it’s tight, fast, funny and astute. He’s got a great eye for the absurd. I asked Laurence to read it to give his take on it, but he stopped after ten pages and went, “I don’t want to ruin it for myself.”

It’s mutually beneficial, supportive and based on genuine friendship and love between two people who’ve known each other since they were kids. It protects them both. There are a lot of sexless marriages, and I just see it like that: she’s open, non-judgemental, and wants him to be happy. He wants that for her, too, and doesn’t give her a hard time about what she gets up to.
No, I wasn’t taught about it at school – I don’t know if I even passed my history GCSE! But I became obsessed with documentaries about the Nuremberg trials and it brought home to me the seriousness of it all. It was a remarkable time. Men came back incredibly damaged by the war, the women had been on their own for years, having had all these amazing jobs, and had to go back into the housewife role. Some of them said the war was the time of their lives. But there had to be a basis within Trottie of how serious it was, and that’s why she embraces colour, going out, getting drunk, having boyfriends…
Yes, but I’m not a great reader. I was always jealous of those kids who’d read all of The Lord of the Rings, aged ten, when I was reading the Mandy annual. I have a lot of books by the side of the bed – at the top of the pile is The Light Years by Elizabeth Jane Howard. I also buy a lot of cookery books.
Bridgerton’s definitely made things easier, but I try not to engage too much with the politics of being an actor. My family and my life at home is just as important to me, if not more.
