Laura Carmichael on moving from Downton Abbey to The Secrets ... (Radio Times)

Laura Carmichael says Downton Abbey changed her life, but now she's swapped crinolines and canapés for a very modern thriller in The Secrets She Keeps.

Maybe that’s a reaction to The Secrets She Keeps – I need to do some light stuff! One of the biggest differences [between working in the UK and Australia] was that I spent the whole time looking for spiders, the crew found it ridiculous and hilarious. “It’s a British thing that happens when you go over there – all you want to do is ask people about spiders, snakes and sharks. There were definitely points in those three years – I felt like I was so far away from the action [and becoming an actress] felt so unlikely.” “Agatha is a very complicated character,” says Carmichael. “There was the opportunity to play with the fun of a thriller – for an audience, not knowing where their allegiances should lie or who to sympathise with. Based on the novel by crime writer Michael Robotham, the storyline is inspired by the true-life kidnapping of a newborn in Nottingham in 1994. I was working with loads of amazing women – and men as well. The series taps into a televisual zeitgeist – dark thrillers and true crime are on the up. “It’s really intense to do any research around real moments like these; I found that in the first series. After such a career-defining role, has she found it difficult to escape the clutches of typecasting? “I enjoy a challenge and I’m keen to try on different hats. In series 1, the pair bond over their pregnancies – but, as the title forebodingly suggests, a dark secret turns their relationship on its head.
