My dad had a small suitcase stuffed with photos, mementoes from wherever he'd traveled as a Royal Navy gunner. Not that he gunned very much, as it turned out. I'd haul it out and go through it time and time again. Honeysuckle Weeks dadgungunner share on social
WI played a young Helena Bonham Carter in a BBC film called 'A Dark Adapted Eye,' and I thought she was a completely spellbinding person. Totally unmoved by other people's expectations, fashions or opinions. She's probably the coolest English actress there is. Incredibly idiosyncratic. Honeysuckle Weeks actressadaptbbc share on social
When 'Foyle's War' ended in 2010 after seven series, I was sad but not despondent. After all, ITV had already axed the show once in 2007, then brought it back due to public demand. Honeysuckle Weeks axebackbring Change image and share on social
I think Emily Blunt is definitely our finest young female English export. She has an uncanny grace. Honeysuckle Weeks bluntemilyenglish Change image and share on social
I have always been a fan of Jim Henson, and I love his Creature Shop creations, the skill of the puppets and the characters he creates. Honeysuckle Weeks charactercreatecreation Change image and share on social
London is not a healthy place. I feel much healthier when I'm living in the countryside or, indeed, anywhere out of London. When I go back to the countryside to visit my mother, I get out of the car, and suddenly there's great wafts of fresh air. Honeysuckle Weeks airbackcar share on social
I tried doing yoga, but I have dislocating shoulders, one of which has been pinned, so I find things such as yoga and pilates, where you have to stretch quite high up with your arms and things, quite difficult. Honeysuckle Weeks armdifficultdislocate share on social
Acting's incredibly enjoyable, but sometimes it doesn't feel quite enough. I've also written a script about the life of Eleanor of Aquitaine. This will make me sound like a female Kenneth Branagh, but I can't think of anything nicer than directing myself from a script I wrote. Honeysuckle Weeks actaquitainebranagh share on social
All my grandparents and great aunts and uncle love 'Foyle's War.' They all lived through the war and love to see it reconstructed so authentically. Honeysuckle Weeks auntauthenticallyfoyle Change image and share on social
I've had a wonderful time in 'Foyle's War' and I don't mind being typecast. But I'm not prim. I'm chaotic, happy, and desperate to have some laughs. I'd love to do a comedy next, or something modern. Honeysuckle Weeks chaoticcomedydesperate Change image and share on social
