And I think, you know, what is really interesting is they all got on really, really well.

They had a fantastic friendship group off screen.

And it was a really happy shoot.

There was a really nice atmosphere.

And one of the interesting things, as I say on Saturday at this conference I was at in Oxford, was how important female community is in menopause, how we often all support each other through it.

We talk to each other about it.

And that was really apparent, I think, in their responses to the script, that they understood that this was something important to talk about that they hadn't quite seen before.

And the way they were dramatized through the very vivid characters that they were all playing.

I mean, any one of those five women would play the lead in any show.

So the fact that they were all happy to come and kind of be an ensemble was a bit of a win.

Well, it was kind of important for me to do that because I resisted going on HRT.

Why?

Because I still was under the impression that it causes breast cancer.

Which I now know it doesn't.

And I know if you have breast cancer, you can't go on HRT.

Right.

But if you haven't got breast cancer, it is not going to cause it.

It doesn't cause breast cancer.

Right.

And I didn't know that because there was the report that was about 20 years ago.
