00:00 We're both very naughty.
00:02 Well you're very naughty. I think you'll find I'm a rather pious Christian woman.
00:05 That's exactly what this film's about!
00:07 I'm afraid it was a gob shot.
00:09 She's heinous.
00:10 Oi!
00:11 Oh, you wankers!
00:13 Queen Victoria's son.
00:15 The kicks you make look like they've fallen out of some sheep's arsehole.
00:18 Better.
00:20 We're in a film called Wicked Little Letters. We play neighbours.
00:24 Yeah.
00:25 This one lives with her mum and dad and although she's in her late forties she weirdly sleeps in a bed at the end of her parents' beds.
00:32 And we can hear the joyful goings on next door.
00:35 Edith introduces Rose to the ways of the world of this little town.
00:41 She's got so much life in her and she just loves going to the pub and she loves cursing and smoking and drinking.
00:48 Oh shit!
00:49 Language you just used out loud!
00:51 Fuck me!
00:52 Indoors!
00:53 Right beside this nun.
00:55 One day some poison pen letters start arriving in Edith's house and it's shocking. They are foul-mouthed.
01:07 You fuck CS, old whore.
01:09 Brilliant.
01:10 Everyone assumes it's Rose Gooding.
01:12 Where is she?
01:13 Who lives next door.
01:14 Who lives next door.
01:15 And are they from her?
01:16 Yeah.
01:17 Why would I send a letter when I can just say it?
01:20 It's just these two neighbours who are quite different but actually there's a lot that they had in common.
01:25 Likeable in many ways. We became friends.
01:28 Edith and Rose, these characters that you would never sort of put together in real life.
01:32 Coming together with empathy and love, that's what's powerful about the movie.
01:36 It felt really special to have two people who already had so much respect for each other.
01:40 It couldn't have been easier between them.
01:42 That feeling at the monitors of watching their performances and just being flabbergasted by how good it was.
01:47 And every time it just catches me off guard by the way that they've put this foul language together.
01:52 Oi!
01:53 I remember the main standoff.
01:55 I could see Theo's excited by I being like, "Yes, yes, yes!"
02:00 Both of us were just at each other's throats.
02:02 It's kind of like watching them spa together.
02:04 You ran at me and said, "Daft old fart, big slippery one."
02:08 That's a bit much. Starting quite high, don't know where to go from there.
02:12 What are you doing?
02:13 I'm just teaching you how to swear proper.
02:14 And then seeing them off camera was even nicer.
02:17 When they came together, they just have this explosive chemistry.
02:22 Everybody thinks, "Oh, that must be you."
02:24 It's not. To play that kind of funny reality takes a lot of thought.
02:29 We were unbelievably lucky to get the two people that we wanted for those two parts.
02:34 I've just talked a lot. I'm sorry.
02:35 No, it's brilliant.
02:36 Go on, you talk.
02:37 No, you're brilliant, Anna. You're brilliant.
02:38 I'm tough.
02:42 You did a really nice job, didn't you?
02:44 Yeah, we did.
