and find a whole new world and a new crime.
Like a new novel, really. It’s more like a series of
novels keeping the same detective. We so loved
Lizzie [Elisabeth] and her work and so looked
forward to collaborating with her again.” The
“we” in question is Campion and fellow writer
Gerard Lee. “I thought we had lucked onto
a style that was enchanting to people,” adds Lee.
“We’ve got something with real heart,” says
co-writer and co-director Campion. “We tried
some different things too. We have some really
chunky scenes... long dialogue scenes that the
actors have just gobbled up. There’s very few
explain-y scenes. And we haven’t written any shit
scenes this time,” she smirks. “What Jane calls
‘explain-y scenes’, I call storytelling,” chips in
Lee, laughing.
For Moss, returning to the character was
a challenge she relished. “It was sort of slightly
less scary than the first season,” giggles the
diminutive actress, “but this season is so much
more challenging for Robin, and for me,
material-wise and emotionally. I felt like I had
to rise to the occasion again, which is what I
wanted, I mean that’s exactly what I asked for
quite specifically from Jane. When she asked me
if I wanted to do this season I said ‘Yeah, but it
has to be more challenging than the first,
otherwise why do it and why watch it?’
“I mean I think it’s a classic example of
expecting the audience to be intelligent,”
