Brendan Coyle & Joanne Froggatt - John & Anna Bates
[Do you enjoy working together?] Joanne: “Oh yes, it’s lovely being in an ensemble and doing scenes as a big group, but there’s nothing nicer than being in more focused scenes with just you and the other actor, and Brendan and I really have a shorthand. I keep finishing his sentences in real life though. I’ve done it a few times this year and Brendan complains, ‘You’re not actually my wife!’” Brendan: “She’s always picking things off me too, she grooms me like a spider monkey, and tells me how to behave.”
