Do you still find the role of Matthew challenging? I’m gripping the branch I’m on at the moment, and giving it everything I’ve got. I’m not looking to catch the next branch. One never really knows but as far as I’m concerned, I’m not looking for the next thing. I don’t know if the show wants me until 2026. You just have to think about what’s in front of you at any given moment.Īt the moment, all I’m thinking about is Call the Midwife because that’s in front of me, and I don’t know what the future holds. In my humble experience, the industry is not a nice place to be in, and it won’t work, if you think like that. When I was younger, I was always thinking about the next job, the next step, the next project. Do you hope that your future on the show will be as long, or are you craving new opportunities? I think he’s nervous about loss, and how much he loves her.īBC It’s great to hear that you’re coming back for season 13 and that Call the Midwife has been renewed until 2026. So I think his worry and his nerves, while they might look to be about his wedding day, I don’t think he’s nervous about that. There’s no doubt about any of that but I think it’s frightening when you’ve lost somebody before, to think, ‘I’m about to go here again. I think his nerves come from the fact that, again, this woman is in front of him who he just adores. I think she’s speaking about the fact that he’s lost somebody before. They have a telephone conversation in the episode where Trixie picks up that it’s something much deeper, and says to him, 'We’ll have the time that we have, which will hopefully be a long time – forever.' It’s really nice that you get to see it from a man’s perspective.Ībsolutely, and I think that the nerves, whilst they look as if they’re about the day or the ceremony or people watching or the things that people are normally nervous about with weddings – I think it’s something else with Matthew. Most of the time on TV you see weddings from a woman’s point of view. But I hope you see a man that when he looks at her walking up the aisle, just realises that it’s just so simple, and everything he could have possibly wanted. It’s not necessarily been through his own effort that this has come about, that he could never have foreseen any of the circumstances that lead up to this.īut I think ultimately – what I hope you see when you see the episode… I haven’t seen the episode yet. To an extent, that’s all he’s done as well. We all kind of compromise, and we all deal with the fact that time’s running away. You’re not dating the right person.' Whatever. You’ve not had a family with the right person. I don’t mean to speak ill of anybody, but as I get older, I look at people, and I think, 'You’re not married to the right person. I think that he is a rare example of somebody who gets precisely the person they need and want. I don’t think that Matthew has any superficial doubt whatsoever about marrying Trixie. It’s something I’ve said a few times now, and I stand by it. I get that Trixie is sort of nervous and worried about the trappings of getting married, and things looking right, and being right, and seating plans, and dresses, and everything else.
