The police who did our training said 'Happy Valley' is one of the only police programmes they can watch and not burst out laughing, saying, 'As if you'd do that.' They think it's really authentic.
I bought the 'Happy Valley' DVD because Steve Pemberton was in it.
I've got a really good network that includes friends who all had babies within eight weeks of each other, plus my sister, a lovely part-time nanny and a nursery where Orla goes for half days.
I've got a great husband who's very good with Orla - she's a real daddy's girl.
You just need a good plan and then a back-up plan!
If you drop a line in the theatre, you can usually find a way round it. But you can't do that as easily on television - you're in the hands of too many people.
I take my hat off to working mums and especially single working mums. I honestly don't know how they do it.
I don't think, as a journalist, I'd ever get a story written. I'd probably spend five years researching it, and by the time I'd finish it, no one would be interested in it anymore.
I'd be a terrible journalist. I wouldn't want to pry; I just don't have that nature.
I couldn't knock on people's door; if they answered the door and said, 'I don't want to speak to you,' I'd be like, 'Oh, OK then - I wouldn't either, to be honest.'
