Who do you play in series three of Bridgerton? I’m Harry Dankworth, who isn’t the brightest bulb. He’s a very sweet guy who has a lot of love to give, and he approaches the world with wide-eyed wonder and is in awe of things. I don’t think he’s used to attending these fancy Ton events.
He comes from a good family but maybe not as wealthy as most of the Tons. He got married in between seasons to Prudence Featherington, who’s now Prudence Dankworth. He’s doing his best to be the perfect husband for her.
It takes them a little while to get to know each other and figure out how to be in a relationship and understand what each other needs. You were a fan of the show before joining, so what was it like becoming part of that world? So surreal. They’re my friends now, but these were actors I had watched on screen.
My first day was with the entire Featherington gang. was there, who I’d also loved in Derry Girls. It was a lot to process in a short period of time.
My first day on set was in the Featherington drawing room, which was something I’d watched on TV, so it felt weird. It was only when I saw myself on the monitor that I realised, ‘Wow, I’m actually here’. Is there a lot of attention to detail in the costumes? The craftsmanship is insane.
When I started, I wondered if it wasn’t going to be as impressive in real life, but it’s immaculate. The outfits are made from scratch. All of the gentlemen of the Ton have watch fobs, where there is a pocket watch.
