Actress Anna Friel has admitted that she is nervous about the launch of her new TV show, Pushing Daisies in the UK next month.
Speaking before a screening of the programme at Hollywood’s Paley Television Festival, she said: “I’m so nervous, all the big billboards have started to go up [in the UK] so I’m hoping they like it. It’s very important for me that the Brits like it.”
Anna’s co-star Lee Pace explained what the show is about: “I play Ned who can touch the dead back to life. If the dead live for longer than a minute then something else will die and if I touch something for a second time they die again forever. But in the first episode I bring to life my childhood sweetheart (played by Anna) and high comedy ensues.”
Ned’s powers mean he can never lay a finger on Anna’s character Chuck. And Lee revealed there were several times when filming that he accidentally touched Anna.
“She’ll drop dead and we’ll all laugh and have to do another take but I really like that there’s that standing in between us, rather than us falling into bed together.”
Pushing Daisies airs on ITV in April.
