It\u2019s thrilling, it\u2019s flattering to be trusted with an episode, and to work with Amelia in that way. It\u2019s an absolutely outstanding script, it\u2019s an absolute gift for an actor.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In a normal episode there\u2019s about 15\/16\/17 scenes and we did nearly all of them over a two day period so it was essentially in one location. It was really rewarding, really intense given the nature of the story. There comes a point in it where you just kind of think \u201cI hope this turns out as well as the script deserves\u201d.
