Dame Joanna Lumley has said she has found the reaction to her Netflix series Fool Me Once “thrilling”.
The drama has been a juggernaut on the streaming service, topping the list of most-watched programmes.
The story is centred on a combat pilot (played by Michelle Keegan) in the military suffering from PTSD whose husband (Richard Armitage), from a wealthy family, is murdered.
Dame Joanna, who plays Armitage’s mother, the cold, upper crust matriarch, told the PA news agency: “It’s thrilling (the reaction) because you work away without any audience at all as you know whenever you’re filming and you’re just working with a crew and then it’s put together and it’s released.
She added: “I was rather taken aback when on New Year’s Day they told me that it would be released to 190 countries simultaneously.
Dame Joanna was speaking as she joined a restaurant owner as he began a charity challenge which will see him walk 3,000 miles through every London Borough.
Sujan Katuwal, who owns Panas Gurkha in Lewisham, south-east London, began his walk from the Embassy of Nepal, in west London, in support of Combat Stress, a charitable organisation dedicated to assisting Armed Forces and veterans coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
