At the UK premiere in February, Helen said she was drawn to the comedy-drama’s “funny” and “moving” storyline.

“It was funny, it was moving, it was unexpected. It was beautiful writing, really, really beautiful,’ she recalled to BANG Showbiz.

Helen plays Kempton Bunton’s wife Dorothy, who was a character she “really wanted to play”.

She continued, “I wanted to work with Jim and I wanted to work with Roger, so it all came together for me.”
