The star, 43, stole the show as no-nonsense DCS Patricia Carmichael in Sunday’s BBC police drama, with acid comments to Supt Ted Hastings and her takeover of anti-corruption unit AC-12.
Anna said: “She’s very passive-aggressive. I know people now like Patricia, people in the industry.
“She’s dead nasty but they are the easiest people to play. I was asked to stare a lot and didn’t have any clue what I was doing, so I would think about what I was having for dinner and things like that.
“I love it, absolutely love it. You could just do anything and it would be OK in the realms of Carmichael. She could just walk up to Hastings and pop a finger in his mouth and he didn’t say anything and that would be OK.
