- Vivien is 23, living in Manchester in quite a traditional household.
She's a hairdresser, which she loves.
- Jeremy said he doesn't mind me working.
- Vivi will know what to do.
- She sees her life going down a certain path and she veers off it.
She goes against tradition.
- Liza is a very typical housewife and mom.
Liza wants Vivien to marry a nice Jewish boy.
She wants her to stop working and become, you know, a housewife.
- David is a pretty old fashioned patriarchal figure.
You know, he's very much from a previous generation and pretty buttoned up.
- Vivian enough of the drama.
Jeremy asked you, and you've said yes.
- Jeremy's father asked you, and you said yes.
- He is secretive.
He has plenty of secrets up his sleeve.
- If you're gonna learn one thing from me Vivien, learn the right time to leave.
- I think she knows that she's breaking a mold, a family mold.
And she kind of can't even think about her family but it's the only thing to do.
She follows Jack.
And I think that's all she's thinking.
- Jack.
- I told you to stay away.
I couldn't have been any clearer.
I do bad things to bad people.
- Jack is a very passionate, determined guy who is willing to die for the cause that he believes in.
- This is bigger than you and me.
- I think he's the kind of guy who probably like acts first, thinks later.
- Colin Jordan was a sort of a fringe figure of British politics.
The language that he uses in some ways creates too much of a barrier between me as an actor, and this character.
And you sort of have to, you know, in the moment at least of the take, you have to commit to it.
- Soly is a traumatized individual, really.
But he can't articulate the trauma that he's gone through, so his response is to fight back.
- When you meet muscle with muscle, I tend to think twice.
- Nancy is a brilliant female character.
She's brave.
She's clever.
She's married to Soly.
Who is the leader of the 62 Group.
Soly is hotheaded.
Nancy takes a more intelligent approach, but they work brilliantly together.
Nancy helps Vivien and nurtures her, and mentors her to be able to go in undercover.
- You need to flatter him more, be a fan.
- There's no other path that Vivien would've taken.
She's always on the front foot.
