has been turned into an intimate and moving two-part BBC drama, starring Martin Compston, Tony Curran and Ashley Jensen.have a chequered history. At what point in the process did you think ‘I’m going to be alright here’?

Martin has been in the business since he was a kid, doing brilliant stuff, and he just has an instinct for where the camera is and how to inhabit a character. He does it so economically, so truthfully, and I think this is his deepest performance so far. He brought integrity to the whole production and was lovely to work with. He’s also good fun to hang out with, as is the superb Tony Curran. I was knocked out by how beautifully they blended as actors.
