My gods! That is one HELL of an awesome cast! Derek Jacobi? I wonder how they persuaded him into it? CANNOT wait!

Seeings as she is the daughter of the main character, I'd say her role would be quite extensive.

Still haven't recovered from the brilliance of the cast tbh.
Derek. Jacobi. And. Nicola. Omg. (And she'll have scenes with Dean Andrews, my inner Ashes fan is flailing.)

It is very exciting!!

Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid too (loved her in Upstairs Downstairs and Marchlands - very good actress).

Sounds like there will be some friction between Nicola and Dean's characters. Intrigued much!
