Keeley Hawes admits she would have found it "very difficult" playing a mum in new drama The Midwich Cuckoos. The reimagining of John Wyndham's science fiction classic takes place in a sleepy town where, one night, all of the young women inexplicably fall unconscious - then wake up to find they are pregnant. And if that wasn't strange enough, once the children are born, they are not as they first seem...
Keeley, 46, plays gifted psychotherapist Dr Susannah Zellaby, who is tasked with supporting the women and says she "found it very difficult to put myself in their shoes".
