The best time I've had on set was … On Ab Fab. There were times when Joanna and I laughed so hard I nearly peed. It was always so relaxed on set because everyone was so good at their job that no one had to worry or pull rank or be starry. Never was so much fun had.
But the worst was … On a French film I did where they had decided I should play an Englishwoman who spoke fluent French. They got me a coach who would spend hours doing my lines with me until I was word and accent perfect but hadn't ever prepared me for the actual scene so when I went on set I had no idea what anyone else was saying or when I was supposed to speak.
In another life, I would be … Writing murder mysteries or gardening.
