By the end of a series one did begin to get very tired, but they would usually try and write the scripts to accommodate you, so that one week Carole Ann or Bill Russell would have more to do, and on occasions they'd even write us out for a couple of weeks so we could dash off for a holiday. We were so on top of each other, in those tiny, tiny studios, that bad tempers would have been a disaster. I got on particularly well with
William Russell. He shared my sort of approach to acting and liked to get on with the job with the minimum of fuss. I've worked with him since, doing a lot of rep abroad, in France, and I'm hoping to work with him again soon.
