8 TV TIMESKATE RIVERTY
Rosalind Eleazar
Kate seems to have it all: nice
clothes, a big house on the lake,
wonderful children and an
amazing husband, Guy (Alastair
Mackenzie). Kate and Lisa are
thrown together when a boat
trip ends in disaster, kicking off a
series of incidents that suggests
Kate’s wonderful world isn’t
all it’s cracked up to be.
‘Kate and Guy seem to be the
perfect couple but Kate puts on
a performance in front of others,’
says Rosalind. ‘She wants to feel
like the perfect woman, wife and
mum – because she doesn’t want
anyone to see what’s going on.’Secrets
of the lake
On set in the Lake
District, we talk to
Anna Friel about her
dark new drama...
T
he Lake District in
Cumbria is known
for being one of the
most picturesque
parts of the UK, with
sprawling hills, vast waterways and
sleepy villages making it a popular
destination for holidaymakers.
Nothing scandalous could ever
happen here... or could it?
In Deep Water, a new ITV drama,
it seems that behind all the peace
and tranquillity hides a murky
world of secrets, lies and deceit.
The six-part series centres
around mums Lisa Kallisto (Marcella
star Anna Friel), Roz Toovey (Little
Boy Blue’s Sinead Keenan) and Kate
Riverty (Rellik’s Rosalind Eleazar),who are all struggling to keep their
heads above water and whose lives
become intertwined after meeting
at the school gates.
As TV Times arrives in Coniston,
close to Lake Windermere, where
the drama is set, Anna comes to
greet us and leaves her delightful
dog, Maggie May, in our company
as she’s called to film a scene.
Afterwards, Anna, 43, joins us for
a chat about the intriguing drama...What can you tell us about
your character, Lisa?
Lisa’s got three children and looks
after dog kennels, so she spends her
days going between school runs and
walking people’s dogs. She has lived
in the same house ever since she
was a kid. Lisa doesn’t really have
much time for herself and hasn’t
had a haircut in about 10 years. Lisa
and her husband, Joe [Outlanderstar Steven Cree], who’s a taxi
driver, live a quiet life but they’re
like passing ships in the night.Lisa makes friends at the school
gates with Kate, who’s very
wealthy. Does Lisa envy her?
There are few schools in the area,
so you’re going to have a mix ofpeople that go to that one school (^) PH
