00:00 Marion's feelings for Ted are very complicated and very beautiful, I think.

00:11 She loves him completely and wholeheartedly with every fibre of her being, and that's

00:18 what makes it so tragic that they can't be together.

00:21 It's natural, and she just longs for it.

00:26 She longs to be there every second of the day when she's not, and it's an escape

00:32 for her from the life with Trimmingham.

00:36 She knows that she's going to have to spend the rest of her life with him, and so she's

00:39 sort of taking the time when she can to have this freedom.

00:45 But ultimately in her heart of hearts, she knows she is going to end up with him.

00:49 And he is a sweet man, and he is a fine man, and he has a title in the house and all of

00:54 that, and she knows that it's her duty.

00:56 But I think she is angry at the fact that that's what's being asked of her.

01:03 Working with Jack has been very eye-opening because it wasn't until literally yesterday

01:14 that I sort of realised when he was being Leo and in a scene with Marion and doing his

01:20 kind of gorgeous doe eyes where he's just absolutely in love with her, that that's

01:26 just Leo and that Jack actually doesn't love Jo.

01:31 I was convinced, he'd convinced me for five and a half weeks that he loved me.

01:38 So that just kind of is a testament to how brilliant his acting is.

01:44 I was very impressed.

01:46 Marion feels Leo is, she's very curious about who he is, and I think seeing him as

01:58 someone who's not been brought up in this home and this environment, she almost wants

02:01 to protect him from it, I think.

02:04 And I think there's an element of him also being part of this other world that she wants

02:10 to escape to, rather than trying to bring Leo into her world that she is feeling that

02:18 claustrophobia from.

02:22 So I think that gives them a very interesting dynamic.

02:25 I feel every day that I am walking into a painting and I get to have that Mary Poppins

02:32 moment where I pop into the chalk and live in this world and play this incredibly complex

02:41 character that Adrian has created.

02:43 And if I'm doing that, so are Leslie and Stephen and Ben and Jack.

02:51 And we just, I think that as a culmination of elements is going to be magical.
