Jessica Hynes

She is in real life and she is in the show Yeah, and so it's about her also I think what other people are really connecting with is watching this lovely young confident woman who's really interested in solving crime and interested in the world and

Also navigating life as a young woman, also, you know, 20, 22, 23, I think her character is.

And so there's been a real connect with actually just enjoying a young woman actually doing something quite wholesome, solving murders, but also trying to navigate the world.

great fun and they're also genuinely all ages so you can sit down and watch it with a 12 year old who is a little bit into crime yeah and patients have mice no no i mean there's there's there's sort of you know there's definitely there's murder in it yeah yeah but there's not a lot of gore yeah you know we're talking we're talking rob closer to richard osmond than scarface

I would say that's true.

I would say that's true.

One thing I really like about it is that I'm getting a different kind of response.

So I'm quite used to living in a small town and having people ignore me and not, you know, pay me any mind.

And now since doing this show, which has been so popular, I mean, it's been the first season, which I wasn't in.

So I can't, I can't, I can't claim any responsibility for that.

The show was a hit in the first season, which I wasn't in.

Um, and then now I'm in the second season.

It's,

kept its audience and people love it but now I'm getting a different I'm experiencing like I was just walking the dog the other day and there was somebody who I always see walking the dog who's kind of like speeding up next to me and I might nod at her and you can tell when someone will almost frequently give you the I'm not impressed with you

face which happens frequently you know yeah okay whatever maybe on the i'm not impressed with you moving on and this woman who had often given me that face and i was like do you know what that's totally valid i get that you know yeah whatever

were sort of scuttling up with her dog, kind of catch up with me to sort of peer around.

And I was thinking, I think she's coming to say something.

She wants to engage with me.

And she was just like, patience.

And like, as if to say, now you're in something.
