Raison told BBC News: “It’s not quite as bad as reading the scripts and wondering if it’s you going to be you next. I’ve heard that you get a call from a producer saying, ‘can I come over?’
“You can pretty much guarantee that it’s not going not be good news. I’ll just try and stay friends with everybody and suck up.”
