What's on TV Maxine Peake interview

Here's a What's on TV interview with Maxine Peake. It has the same bit as the TV times about Matthew, but it doesn't hurt to repeat it here. 

What was it like playing opposite Matthew Macfadyen?
"Great. Because it's Matthew Macfadyen all the ladies watching will be going, 'Please let him survive – I'll switch over if he dies!' He is gorgeous and brilliant with this real ease about him – he makes everything look effortless – it's sickening really. He rocks up, everybody swoons, he does his bit and then off he goes!"
