The Crown creator and writer Peter Morgan joins stars Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, Josh O'Connor, Gillian Anderson and Emma Corrin along with moderator Edith Bowman to discuss the fourth season of Netflix’s critically acclaimed drama series, including the introduction of two iconic historical figures: Margaret Thatcher and Princess Diana.
Tobias MenziesandAisling Bea in her delightful comedy, This Way Up, currently on Netflix. It’s about two sisters trying to cope with the precarious mental health situation of the younger one. It also deals with the very common experience of Irish immigrants in London and Irish family dynamics, among other topics. It’s all very realistic and often very funny.
Aisling Bea has a wonderful ear for dialogue.
Anyway, I screen-capped this bit at the start of Episode Six because this is my life right now.
Christian Schwochow: And then he comes and he kisses her! And this was never in the script. He (Tobias Menzies) just did it in the rehearsal. I think he did it, a bit, as a joke, but then we were like, “oh my God, this is how the scene has to end”!
-
Edith Bowman: I know there have been a few times that you’ve gone “we need a little kiss here”.
Tobias Menzies: Oh, really?! Someone outed me on that?
-
Edith Bowman: And Tobias. I loved talking to him about how he likes to try things. Like the kiss, which wasn’t scripted…
Olivia Colman: Yeah. And his little grin as he walked away which I didn’t see until I watched it! Ohhh, naughty Philip!
