Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode Three of the First Season of Flesh and Blood. Russell Tovey can't come up with a defense for the toxic masculinity of his character, Jake, a stunted manchild in his 30s searching for purpose in a world he feels should fall at his feet. But the actor loved having the opportunity to play Jake, even if he keeps viewers and listeners guessing about what happens in the final episode of this intricate family drama.

Lydia Leonard, the talented actor, teases viewers and listeners by leaving tantalizing clues about the intricate family drama in this episode of Flesh and Blood. Topics include Natalie's struggles and lost sense of self, Vivian and Mark's unexpected wedding, Natalie's journey and breakthrough roles, and constructing characters based on real-life figures.

Warning: This episode contains spoilers for Episode One of the First Season of Flesh and Blood. The new Flesh and Blood defies genres — it's a mystery, and a family drama, and a psychological case study. That contrast originally drew series lead Claudie Blakley to the script, but it doesn't mean she's willing to give anything up in a new interview.
