I can't imagine how triggering most of it was.

But there are some beautiful storylines in there.

Like I just watched episode two today and I don't want to give too much away for people that haven't seen it.

But I had a good old hearty cry at the lovely text exchange that you were having with the young neighbour.

It was so beautiful.

Yep.

Yeah, we can't see it because we're in it.

You just need someone to... I have that literally every week.

Like, oh my God, how could I?

That's so obvious.

That's right there.

But we're living it.

So when you're shooting something like Tiptoe and you are confronted in a scene or there's something that's come up, it could be a feeling that you weren't expecting because of the nature of what you're discussing in the scene.

There's some big, heavy political subjects in there and...

how the two characters are kind of so opposing in so many ways.

What do you do to make sure then that you're all right?

Rather than just sort of, you can't obviously leave set and then just integrate back into the world with all those feelings.

also I didn't know so many people in Manchester and so going out in public when you don't know so many people you have to go out in a posse to keep you know so that was one of the things as well and I yeah so I was a little bit of a monk Do you think it's always helpful to sort of have that access or level of exposure to stuff from the past because you know obviously there is exposure therapy I've done it in certain ways with EMDR the eye movement therapy which I found really helpful

But I think when you're doing it on the job, you're working, you're confronted with issues that you know might make you feel a certain way or a memory might flash up.

Do you think it's always helpful?
