Youre reprising your role as Jenny Lewis this Saturday what brought you back toPrimeval?
And I got to do it, which was excellent.
Does your reappearance tie up some of the loose ends from series three, do you think?
People have very strong feelings about various characters and what they want from them.
I think itll tick the boxes for people.
Is that something easy to get used to?
I think after four series, we kind of have our heads around it now.
The two characters youve played inPrimeval, Claudia and Jenny, are obviously quite different.
Was it difficult to switch between them in the way you did?
As series two went on to series three, I found the character more easy to get into.
Although it still surprises me that people have such affection for Claudia.
Ive done three series now as Jenny.
Well, I am the same actress!
[Laughs] Im always going to look a little bit like Claudia.
Which is more fun to play?
I loved playing Claudia because it was my first character in the show, and I loved her storyline.
She was a lovely girl.
Jenny was more dynamic, so that was really interesting to play.
I couldnt really choose between them I think they both have redeeming qualities.
I loved doing all that.
Do you have a favourite creature in the show?
I loved the T-Rex, just because it was so big and looked fabulous against the aircraft.
I loved the dodos in series one.
I remember in our first ever episode, I loved those creature in there.
Youve obviously worked in the UK and the US.
You worked on a show calledThe Philanthropistfor CBS?
I did, yes.
I also just did theFrost Giantin the States as well, alongside Dean Cain, which was really interesting.
Lots of CG monsters again!
So is there a big difference between the way UK and US shows are produced?
All the obvious kinds of things that come from having more money and people.
Thats the biggest thing.
Youre working to the same formula just different accents!
Its not hugely different.
Its just the financial side.
Does the extra money necessarily make things easier, though?
I think when theres more budget to play with, you could be more creative.
On the subject of money, how did you feel when ITV cancelledPrimeval?
I was so sad, I really was.
So when people started to rally round I wasnt at all surprised.
Its really good to keep it going.
I dont know how to answer that.
But now Ive got a family, I love that we all get to see each other.
So, I guess, never say never.
What can we expect from episode six?
Do you get involved with a lot of action scenes and monsters?
So yes, the wedding is rudely interrupted, somewhat.
Much to my future husbands despair and surprise, Im quite good with the old fighting dinosaurs.
He knows nothing about what I used to do in the past.
So theyre terribly shady about my past.
But gradually, my future husband comes to realise that theres more than meets the eye.
I remember having a discussion with Adrian two years ago, about where a film might go.
But the script has to be written and approved.
But I think that would be fantastic, and they should definitely do it.
All that stuffs beyond my control.
Its up to the higher powers.
But youve not heard any rumours of a movie going ahead?
Not in the near future.
We can but hope!
So whats next for you, following yourPrimevalappearance?
Im currently making a guest appearance inNew Tricksfor the BBC.
But also Ive co-written a comedy drama calledThe Hen Dowith Olivia Poulet, who was inThe Thick Of It.
Were casting at the moment.
Lucy Brown, thank you very much!
Primevalseries four, episode six airs this Saturday on ITV1 at 19:20.
Many thanks to Rob Mclaughlin for his questions for Lucy.
