But I’m big on wellness, because of the long hours and the fact that you’re doing stuff that is repeated bodily trauma, and sometimes your body doesn’t know the difference. We were also in Morocco, and it was boiling hot and there were other things to think about. And I’m a woman during perimenopause so I’m just wiped out by this. Is it hard not to take your work home with you? With Vigil it was fine because I was so knackered. You mention being associated with trauma. And I think actors often do themselves down: “Oh, I’m just an actor…” But that time really solidified that storytelling is important for people. And she said that watching television is just a connection. Love her, I really want to work with her. Sarah Lancashire did a speech for one of the many awards she has won and should be getting at all times. That was a special time for television where people absolutely needed the connection and we’d all watched everything that there possibly was to watch on Netflix or whatever. Did the response to the first Vigil feel different? It did, but I think it was because it was after Covid. That’s why we set up our own production company, because the roles I was getting were very similar to the successful shows that I’ve done. An everywoman, so you relate to me, but slightly on the outskirts. Do people make that mistake with you as well? Yeah, people think I’m either the queen of trauma or disaster or… I don’t know how you’d describe Doctor Foster: the vengeful woman on the outskirts.
