Keeley Hawes interview with Metro (April 2011)

Metro has posted an interview with Keeley Hawes in which she talks about working at McDonalds, acting alongside a monkey in Upstairs Downstairs, and being on stage for the first time in Rocket to the Moon.

What is the appeal of period dramas?

There’s always going to  be a call for it because we do them so well in this country. Upstairs Downstairs and Downton Abbey appeal to people because they’re about our history, they look so beautiful, are written by amazing writers and have high production values.
