Working with your other half can be fraught, and throwing in the extra pressures of lockdown could be a recipe for disaster.

But not for Georgia Tennant and Anna Lundberg, who, during an exclusive interview with TV Times, tell us they are loving playing heightened versions of themselves in BBC1’s comedy Staged which follows Georgia’s husband David Tennant and Anna’s partner Michael Sheen as they rehearse a play via video calls.

Here, Doctor Who star Georgia, 35, and Swedish-born Anna, 26, making her TV debut, reveal why filming in their own homes has been a blessing…

Have you enjoyed working with Michael and David?

ANNA: The nerves kicked in for me at first but then you’re just talking to your other half and his friend who happen to be amazing actors. Plus it’s been precious having this time with Michael and our baby girl Lyra [who is eight months old].
