- I think Frances would like to enjoy a cup of tea with Cyril the dog.
(Cyril barks) (cheerful music) Hello, I'm Tuppence Middleton and I play Frances.
Ideal cup of tea is a Yorkshire teabag, quite strong, with a dash of oat milk.
Chocolate hobnob, a bourbon.
Is a Jaffa cake a biscuit?
If I had any advice for Frances, it would be to always get a good night's sleep before making big decisions, to get outside and walk in nature, and to always be one step ahead of the game.
I think Frances could do with a bit of meditation.
Something I always do if I'm feeling stressed is to cook and also to read a good book and a bath.
The great thing about working with the rest of this cast as the Forsyte family is that there is a lot of tea being spilled daily.
Everyone has come from lots of different walks of life and they're very experienced actors, so they all have lots of interesting and sometimes revealing stories about previous jobs and people.
Shh.
It's so nice to be able to bring a classic to the screen again.
I think it has a nice modern twist.
It feels like we're looking at the Forsyte saga story through the eyes of a lot of the women in the family, which is really exciting take, and it's just lovely to be surrounded by such a strong, experienced cast and to come to work and have fun every day.
