Walters revealed: “I read everything before Stephen actually reads it. She was phenomenal and we were really blessed and lucky to have her." We loved her energy and we loved her understanding of the character. Hannah auditioned for the part like everybody else and she was phenomenal. In a case of art imitating life with Walters playing Graham's on-screen wife, director Lewis Arnold was keen to convey that she earned the part because she delivered the best audition. “These are young, working-class lads who to me are laying down some beautifully-judged, real, truthful, honest performances which is was an absolute joy to be a part of and to watch.” And James Nelson-Joyce as well, I’ve watched him from early on and I watched him do some stuff. I was just like, ‘wow, that kid’s phenomenal’. To watch these young men – Jack as well, I watched Jack, I was in a scene with Jack and at one point I switched off because I was in awe of watching him when the camera wasn’t on me. “There was one day when I’d finished filming… I stayed back to watch Bobby because I just thought he was magnificent. “But then you have the likes of Bobby Schofield, James Nelson-Joyce, Jack … the list goes on.

But, as a former teacher, he makes an easy target for the more ruthless inmates in the prison.Įric is a dedicated officer, doing his best to protect those in his charge at an institution that is understaffed and full of tension.
