How similar are you to Amy in your own family?
I definitely went through an angsty phase (sorry mum and dad!) but I actually don’t have any siblings so it was fun to have an irritating brother to wind up!
What was your favourite episode and why?
Episode one involves two adorable dogs, with some serious dog acting skills. It’s a perfect introduction to chaos of the family and the mess they always seem to find themselves in – it’s manic and hilarious.
Amy goes for a job interview this series that doesn’t go well, have you ever had any interviews that went wrong?
I feel like with every audition I’ve done there’s been something I’ve cringed about afterwards. At this point I’ve accepted it’s just part of the process!
Did you get any career advice from your cast mates?
The brilliant Katherine Parkinson advised to always wear your thermals, which backfired when we would both overheat, on a daily basis.
What were your first impressions of the scripts?
I had an inkling they were going to be hilarious because Tom Basden is a true master of wit, but I’ve never read a script that’s actually made me laugh out loud! Each character is so beautifully crafted with such detail. They’re so familiar and relatable, there’s something for everyone.
There are some real laugh-out-loud moment this series, what was your favourite scene to shoot?
I laughed hysterically every day thanks to the rest of the cast – in particular Jim Howick – so that’s a tricky one to choose. The lot of us get into a pool at one point which was a laugh because that certainly didn’t feel like work at all.
