Tuppence Middleton on her latest role in ITV's Our House, alongside Line of Duty’s Martin Compston.
Hi Tuppence! Congratulations on this brilliant role. I was so interested by what you said in the press statement ahead of its release – that what struck you about the script was its “immense relatability”. Could you tell me more about that?
One thing I looked up as soon as I read the script was how common property fraud was – because it's never happened to anyone I know. But it seems that it is becoming more and more common [according to ONS statistics,increased by 26% between 2019 and 2021, with 26% of cases resulting in the loss of property or money] in a world where we live so much of our lives online, especially during something like a pandemic where everything becomes very online.
Your character Fi, in Our House, divorces her husband Bram after he has an affair. Marital breakdown is a hot topic right now - particularly with a rise in divorce filings coinciding with the pandemic. Why is it important to see these narratives being explored on screen?. So we wanted to do that story justice. Almost 50% of marriages end in divorce, and so many of us have been affected by it, if not directly then indirectly if our parents or friends have gone through it.
In the show, Fi and Bram try birdnesting, each living in the family home for part of the week respectively and renting somewhere elsewhere. Do you think that seems like a good compromise, for divorced couples to try? It’s hard because I think in our version of the story, it didn't go well. But then that was really due to other things going on. So I don't know. There are merits in it, especially if you have younger children; I imagine that it's maybe a good thing to ease their way into a slightly different lifestyle rather than a kind of brutal cut or selling the house and immediately moving to two different places. But it does bring a whole new set of problems.
