The gang is back for series three of the comedy-thriller from Stephen Merchant, coming to BBC One and BBC iPlayer
"It’s just a real pleasure to be in the city I was born in" - Stephen Merchant and The Outlaws cast on filming in Bristol for a brand new series
Also, we get to continue to explore these characters. I love spending time with them, writing them, seeing the actors bring them to life. So, we get to explore their private lives and how that intersects with this bigger crime story brewing around them.I play Greg, who is a socially awkward person, and quite a lonely soul. He’s a lawyer who is not particularly good at his job, or at life generally. He’s sort of the legal advisor for the gang of Outlaws.
That's what we’ve tried to do with all of the characters. Similarly in the case of my character Greg, and Gabby, they come from very different walks of life, they lead very different lives, but they found a kinship that was unexpected. The idea of that unlikely friendship is very much at the core of The Outlaws.Among the various challenges my character faces this series, the chief one is him having to step up as a lawyer. You finally see him in court, having to do what lawyers do.
I also always enjoy the scenes when we’re all together, the Outlaws, and we get to bounce off each other and create really tense and funny moments.I love anytime that we’re in Bristol. We really wanted to make sure we showcased Bristol in every light. I think we’ve done a good job of that.
What we’ll often do when we shoot scenes is shoot it as written and if everyone’s happy we might do something to loosen things up. If someone has thought of something, it’s always very welcome to be throw in. It’s an extension of the joy of working in such an ensemble manner. It extends beyond script and beyond scenes and we all collectively share thoughts and ideas and have these great moments of collaboration.Yes.
We all started community service and then we were all dragged into a story which involved everybody’s ideals being compromised. Breaking the law again. Being forced into situations where all the characters have to make choices that weren’t ideal. We also had to come together as a team, which made some unlikely friendships emerge, and it kind of turned into a team building exercise involving crime, drugs and murder.Myrna is an older single woman. She’s lived life on her own terms mostly.
