Oh, yes, I've heard of both Line of Duty and The Fall. The Fall was particularly acclaimed and got lots of good press. Too bad that you weren't able to work on that one (if I read your post correctly). Who was on-set for your time on Line of Duty?

No one of significance. We were doing a trial scene which was mostly cut. I appear as a blur in a sequence during the end credits of the final episode!

Too bad. I'm sure you were a very good blur, though!

Oh I was brilliant darlings!

Here I am in costume for Game of Thrones

Wonderful!! Reminiscent of the great Roger Delgado as the Master, though in more lordly robes

Caught part of this and it was great to see Diana being herself - gave a much better idea of what she's like in person than the face to face style interviews.
