“‘I don’t think Agnes is a rebel especially, but she starts looking for a little bit of excitement.
She wants to enjoy her life a little bit more, without depending so much on Hallam for everything. She just becomes more independent.’”
-The Daily Mail (Keeley Hawes on Lady Anges in S2)

Alex Kingston is Jaw-Struck (The Sun)
The former ER star, who plays a lesbian in the new series of Upstairs Downstairs, tells all on Graham Norton's chatshow on BBC1 tonight at 10.35pm.
She says: "I was jet lagged, working with comedians and I walked into a lamppost.
"It was a comedy moment, but I was so embarrassed because I thought I'd be the butt of their jokes so I pretended I was fine.
"Later that night I started to feel really woozy and I fell flat on my face. I bit through my lower lip and knocked out my front teeth. It was awful and I had to go straight to ER."
On her new role in the hit period drama — which returns to our screens this month — Alex joked: "Let's just say, she lives upstairs but goes downtown!"
And she also hinted her Doctor Who character, River Song, could return.
Alex said: "You may see her again... Upstairs Downstairs and Doctor Who don't film at the same time."

Upstairs Downstairs Week 1 Synopsis1
Written and created by Heidi Thomas, the hotly anticipated second series of Upstairs Downstairs returns to BBC One, starring Jean Marsh, Keeley Hawes, Ed Stoppard and Alex Kingston.
It is now September 1938. Sir Hallam is anxious about affairs in Germany and determines to persuade those in power that Hitler can’t be contained. But when he is met with short shrift from his superiors and sees his wife’s concern over what the possibility of another war might mean for their young family, Hallam is forced to consider whether his approach is the right one…and when he meets an unexpected face in Germany he begins to question more than his political beliefs.Downstairs, with Rose taken ill with TB, the staff welcome spirited new maid Beryl, who catches Harry’s eye. But Beryl struggles to adjust to life in service and has greater ambitions.
Back at Eaton Place Sir Hallam’s wife Lady Agnes is extremely frail after giving birth to their second child, but returns to 165 to support her husband. After the death of Hallam’s mother, Lady Holland, the couple are playing host to Dr Blanche Mottershead, Hallam’s aunt, who continues to make herself comfortable at 165 some weeks after the funeral, much to Sir Hallam and Mr Amanjit’s dismay.
Lady Agnes, however, is grateful for the support Blanche lends in such uncertain times. But, despite Blanche’s support, Lady Agnes remains anxious about the safety of her family and her worries set off a chain of events which leads to a startling revelation about Mr Pritchard…
Alex Kingston: 'River Song could return to Doctor Who'
Alex Kingston has hinted that River Song could return to Doctor Who.
The actress, who will appear in the new series of Upstairs Downstairs, told talkshow host Graham Norton that she may resume her Who role.
"You may see her again. Who knows?" she teased. "Let's just say, Upstairs Downstairs and Doctor Who don't film at the same time."
Kingston also admitted that she had known "for a very long time" that her character was secretly the daughter of Amy Pond (Karen Gillan).
"I knew... for the whole of the last series," she confessed. "[The other actors] didn't know and they were constantly trying to get it out of me. They discovered it in that episode ['A Good Man Goes To War'] when they read the script."
Karen Gillan will exit Doctor Who alongside her on-screen husband Arthur Darvill (Rory) mid-way through the next series.
Series star Matt Smith recently indicated that he currently has "no plans to leave" the sci-fi drama.
Doctor Who will return to BBC One in late 2012. The Graham Norton Show - featuring Kingston, This Means War star Reese Witherspoon, comedian Reginald D Hunter and British indie band The Musgraves - will air on Friday at 10.35pm on BBC One.
It has already been confirmed that Alex will be returning for the 7th series of Who and starts filming really soon (see earlier posts).
