One Of The Things The Bbc Does

It's Fascinating To Work With A Company Of Actors Of Such Different Ages, Experience And Talents. I'm One Of A Generation Brought Up On Television Whose Acting Is More 'naturalistic', Whereas With Some Of The Older Generation It's More Heightened. But I Think There's Room For Both Styles.

Getting To Do What I Think Was My Fifth Bbc Drama With Nikki Amuka-bird - We've Done 'shoot The Messenger,' 'five Days,' 'the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency,' 'born Equal' And Now 'small Island' - Was Another Highlight For Me. And Filming In Jamaica Was Great, Too.

People Have Compact To Go Beyond Our Own Culture And Upbringing To A Degree That I Think We Don't Acknowledge Enough Really.
