Lydia Leonard asks, self-evaluating her response to one of my questions.

Its great fun portraying such a hardcore bad*ss.

Surannes such a brilliant pro.
With two middle-aged women, it was very easy, she reveals.
I got a lovely letter from Marianas descendent, which was nice, Leonard shares.
Im really proud of the show.
Its such a privilege to be a part of, because it means a lot to so many people.
It was a joy being a small cog in that big machine, Leonard tells me.
It cuts out a whole load of choices and gives you somewhere to start.
Of course, there is plenty of footage available in this case.
