00:00Baby Ranger is such an intense and emotional series. What was it like

00:04releasing the show and having it receive all this acclaim? Was it cathartic for

00:09you or was it maybe challenging in some ways you didn't expect? Well I mean the

00:13whole the whole I would say past five months have been pretty pretty

00:15overwhelming. I mean there's just been so much that's happened I almost can't

00:19believe it. It's been a whirlwind. I'm still sort of catching my breath. It's

00:22almost hard to sort of encapsulate into a kind of positive or negative emotion.

00:25It's been a sort of a whole whirlwind of things but yeah there's been so many

00:29positive things that have happened. I mean being here is like the stuff of

00:33dreams, being nominated for Emmys is the stuff of dreams and obviously like the

00:36shows have such a positive impact on charities and stuff like that. Like back

00:39in the UK like abuse charity referrals are up 80 percent, stalking charities

00:44are up 47 percent so so you know there's been so much positives so many positives

00:49but it's been there's been a lot you know there's been a lot happening and

00:52you know and I've had to exercise some real dig deep at times you know but but

00:58I've loved it you know the response has been unbelievable you can't really ask

01:02for more so yeah. Speaking of the response what sort of messages have you

01:06received from viewers who maybe felt seen or represented by the show? Yeah

01:10that's been one of the most positive things I mean I I get a lot of letters

01:14and I get a lot like the fan mail and stuff like that and I'm very moved to

01:17tears sometimes with it you know there's people who like after 50 years you've

01:21encouraged me to open up about this or you've encouraged me to speak to my wife

01:26or my parents about this or I've come out at this age because of you in the

01:30show and all this and that stuff's really like moving like I really you

01:34know I think it has helped a lot of people and I think that's like that's

01:36like the best that's the most kind of fulfilling thing but yeah it's it's

01:41opened up a load of kind of conversations and allowed people kind of

01:43because the show really is about trauma and a lot of people say it's the stalking

01:46show and all this kind of stuff and I think that it is the stalking show but I

01:49think ultimately is a show that explores trauma and I think that people have a

01:53lot to say but I think a lot of people struggle with trauma and I think that

01:56it's opened up a lot of conversations and help people kind of with a bit of

01:59understanding around those things and so yeah I get a lot of a lot of very moving

02:04and moving letters and writings from people and interactions in the street

02:08and stuff like that yeah coming up you have Lions what can you tell us about

02:12that show that's a working title but I'm not sure I can say the actual one now

02:19but but yeah but I'm working on it real hard I'm not not sure what I'm allowed

02:24to say other than what's out there in the press release but by I really I

02:28really love it I'm writing it right now I'm working real hard on it I'm in

02:34between so Emmys press and all this kind of stuff I'm working real hard on it so

02:38yeah I'm just I'm really excited there's lots to do and yeah just get my head

02:43down and I'm working on it yeah we also see you on screen in that show I can't

02:48say can't say for sure well we can't wait to see it and one last quick

02:52question for you there have been so many headlines about someone who claims she's

02:55the real Martha coming out in suing Netflix how surprising was that to you

02:59or was that something you thought might happen well I can't really speak about

03:02that because that's part of a wider sort of legal case so I can't really speak

03:05about that I'm afraid thank you so much have a great night tonight
