Yes, I owe them everything. When I was about three, my mum, Joanna David, had a build-up of spinal fluid that put pressure on her brain so it was a very delicate operation. An amazing surgeon called Mick Powell, who’s now retired and one of mum’s dearest friends, saved her life. This is such a clever fundraiser — some artists, famous faces and memb...
There are some great cartoonists like Adrian Teal, who does amazing caricatures, I’d love to pick up his, as well as one by Sophie Thompson. She and her mum, Phyllida, who I’ve known since I was a baby, are both brilliant artists. Mum’s done one every year and Andrew Marr has this year. I’m such a terrible artist that I buy one instead of doing one...
I remember the atmosphere of the house being tense. I remember clinging on to her, not wanting to let her go, and then not understanding why she wasn’t there. However, she bounced back thanks to the amazing surgeon and some great psychotherapy.
She’s had challenging times with depression over the years, which are all linked back to those moments of whether she could trust her brain enough to look after her kids and career. She’s been very eloquent in the past, talking about that publicly, which I really admire her for. She’s one of my great heroes anyway, she’s an amazing mum and actress.
No, mum does it so well I don’t think I could possibly do it better than she does! I hope she gets invited back. Mel [Emilia] tees Mum up and Mum smashes it over the net just by her force of personality. You get a view into what it’s like in our household at Christmas!
There was a moment where I was worried with White House Farm because it was coming out at around the time they were filming Gogglebox. I think the last episode starts with me having some sort of vigorous sex scene and I thought, ‘Please don’t let them show that just to get a reaction out of my mum!’ Because I knew whatever she said would be highly ...
Whenever Mel’s in something new, I always watch it because I just love what she brings to every character. It’s the same with Mum. Dad [Edward] hasn’t done a TV show for a while but if he did, we would all be there. To my shame, I haven’t watched every single episode of Silent Witness [starring Emilia]. So at some point if I get Covid again, which ...
I think Mel’s seen it but I’m not sure Mum and Dad have. I should sit them down in front of it at Christmas and go, ‘Right, do your duty and watch me in this show!’
Radio drama was the one thing that was able to sustain because you could put a load of duvets on washing lines and create your own home studio. So I did that and one piece of TV called The Pursuit Of Love during that gap between lockdowns. I’ve been doing a show for Apple, so I’m very grateful to the power of the streaming gods that are taking over...
I didn’t want to give Covid to my parents. So last Christmas, me and my sister spent it together at her house, which turned out to be so much fun. We drank cocktails and managed to coach Mum on how to use Zoom and FaceTime.
