HARRY WILD NEW FROM MONDAY 4 APRIL (TWO EPS WEEKLY), ACORN TV DRAMA
Jane Seymour has played plenty of remarkable women during a career spanning more than five decades. Standout roles include American socialite Wallis Simpson, opera singer Maria Callas, Queen of France Marie Antoinette, and (fictional) Wild West physician Dr. Quinn.
But she has a particular soft spot for her latest small-screen incarnation, Harriet 'Harry' Wild, a free-spirited academic who, as well as devouring books, enjoys swearing, smoking, snogging, and generally shocking her strait-laced detective son Charlie (Kevin Ryan) and his wife Orla (Amy Huberman).
In Acorn TV's new eight-part, Ireland-set crime drama Harry Wild, Jane's titular character is celebrating her retirement when she unexpectedly turns sleuth after spotting links between a murder Charlie is investigating and an obscure Elizabethan play.
With no one listening to her outlandish theory, Harry teams up with troubled teen Fergus (Rohan Nedd) to try to crack the case and discovers she has a talent for crime-solving.
TV Times caught up with former Bond girl Jane, 71, to find out more about the series...
What do you like about Harry?
Everything! Age and gender mean nothing to her. She's raised a kid, who's now a grown man, on her own.
She uses her knowledge of literature to investigate crime, and she's not afraid to chase down murderers!
How does she get on with her young sidekick, Fergus?
It's a wonderful relationship. Fergus is from the other side of the tracks and knows all the bad guys because his dad is one.
Harry is teaching Fergus English and helping him to get through his exams.
Your character enjoys going undercover. Were those scenes fun to play?
