Showrunner Sarah Lambert tells Sky News' Backstage podcast how she went about treading the line between depicting what is a real issue for many, and not doing it in a way that would feel unnecessary or excessive : The Lost Flowers Of Alice Hart
"We were always, even on set, talking about how much violence do we show," she said.
"In the edit we put it in, took it out, put it in, took it out, but I think in the end there is actually very little violence in that first episode, most of it happens offscreen, but that tension that is in the house is what we wanted people to feel, what it's like to live with that tension and the aftermath.
Weaver plays Alice's Grandmother June, a woman who has her own secrets and runs both a farm and a women's refuge."[Weaver] just kept on coming into my mind because there's a strength to June and an earthiness, like she's incredibly capable, she's a woman who works on the land, she also runs this women's refuge," she explained.
"There were very few actors I could think of that you would actually buy that they could do what she has to do in the series and hold that truth - because she's incredibly complex and in the wrong hands it could go terribly, terribly wrong. "And so, she started playing in my mind as we were writing it, and then we all put lists together and it was funny, for all the producers she was there, in every single list for everybody.", which may be using cookies and other technologies.
