Today we have a Q+A session with NPLH Core Cast Actress Angela Holmes who plays the role of Red Headed League member Rebecca Constance.
Q:
You have previously spoken quite publicly about your enjoyment in playing Rebecca Constance, what is it about the character you love?
A: Rebecca is a hugely determined individual who really know what she wants and goes for it! when someone is that driven and determined how can you not have respect for them!, add to that the fact she is smart, ballsy, fast at figuring stuff out and hell bent at getting what she wants from every situation.
Q: Is it ever confusing on set to hear and refer to “Holmes” and not think it is yourself being referred to?
A: This get’s me everytime! There has been many occasions where I have ended up sitting on Watson’s lap because of it, stroking Miss Blakes hair...
Q: Your character is primarily motivated by money, what motivates you personally?
A: I am personally motivated by love, the world would not exist without it and it’s very important to me. I can understand though ones motivation for money as my Dad is constantly pestering me to get a real job ;-)
Q: Can you explain a little more on the association between Madeline Chambers and Rebecca Constance? She treats poor Braderick with a confusing degree of contempt, are we going to see you two on a friendlier level than this.
A: Braderick who??.......... oh I am sorry :-p, there’s a time and a place for…how to I put it ‘daft people’…….. just not in my company, Madeline is a funny one. It’s kind of like watching a Sherlock Holmes film back to front while she watch’s it on slow mo forward, you know what is going to happen days before Madeline figures it out but her temper is so how…..shall I put it ‘dynamite’ that everyone’s is too afraid to tell her. So I like to just watch her clogs turn whilst dodging the sparks that fly off of them. Bless her.
Q:What do you feel you have learnt about yourself or as an actress through being in NPLH?
A: Watching Ross and Mike has taught me a huge amount about the power of comic timing, they are just not very funny! #joke
Q: Who do you think is the funniest character?
A: Braderick Theobald, the drip. If only I could look at the world so lightly.
Q: You are currently working on the 4th Series of No Place Like Holmes, have you got anything else you want to say to fans of the show on what they can expect to see?
A: This series is going to have surprises you never saw coming. It’s like Ross was drinking a bottle of Nando’s extra hot sauce whilst writing it. I’m still not quite sure what’s wrong with him.
