The acting great discusses why the show is a career highlight, father-son themes, that impressive oner, and more.
is nothing if not consistent. Over just three and a half years, we’ve been treated to four seasons of the Apple TV+ thriller, with each unfolding over six tightly plotted, very funny episodes. And the same can be said of the British spy series’ main character and compass , Jackson Lamb, a smoking, drinking, pissy veteran MI5 agent in charge of a group of fuck-ups at Slough House who is always in need of a wash and one step ahead of top intelligence brass.
It’s a wonderful character great source material that we do our best to honor each time out. The bonus, really—and the surprise of doing it—is this sort of company feel that we have. It’s the closest I’ve come to the theater in that sense, of having a company. It’s like you have your own sort of conspiracy. You’re a gang, you know? You’re in a club. I’m very fond of them.
AVC: A big theme of this season is fathers and sons, or family and found family. Do you think Jackson, for all of his blustering, looks at his crew as sort of his kids?Yeah, there is a sort of paternal sort of thing going on. I mean as Gary, I look at them in that way. Jonathan and I are, you might say, the elder statesman. We’re the veterans, if you like, that have been doing it the most.
AVC: Speaking of Jonathan Pryce, maybe my favorite scene this season is with you, him, and Saskia Reeves in the graveyard. You’re almost acting like his boss when he used to be your boss. What was it like to work on that scene?Well, to shoot the scene was a nightmare because we just had really bad weather. And it was stop and start, stop and start, stop and start.
