, Jessica Ransom was ‘hugely emotional’.
Like the millions of viewers, Jessica was smitten by the seaside town where Doc Martin was filmed. ‘Doc Martin found me my favourite place. It was hard saying goodbye to Cast members Jessica remains in contact with are John Marquez , Joe Absolom and Robyn Addison with whom she’s now writing a sitcom about a running club.
It was at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that Jessica made an impressive impact. ‘The thought now of the bravery that that took…it’s extraordinary to me that I managed to muster up the courage to be like ‘I’m just going to write an hour of comedy and perform it for you all.’ Now that terrifies me!’ ‘When I started filming Doc Martin, I wasn’t married and I didn’t have children. Now I am married and I’ve got two!’ she smiles, referring to their sons Frank, aged six, and Arthur, four.
‘I was not a dancer growing up. For the music videos in Horrible Histories we get bits of choreography, but it's very much a loose parody of whatever we're trying to do, and once you've got a weird wig and a corset on the dancing kind of goes out the window. But I get to do a little Jive in Home, I'm Darling, which is a real joy to dance.’
All booked. Going on the 22nd (evening).
