“Well, I remember this moment… We were filming in Neath Abbey [in December 2010, for The Almost People/The Rebel Flesh], and Arthur looked at me and was like, ‘Shall we just-?’ I went, ‘Yeah, let’s do it.’ And then we told him. It was kind of like a love thing. Matt was weirdly, like, ‘Oh my God.’ I think it was a real mix of emotions for him.”

Karen can do it to me to. It’s that old Smith-Gillan banter - it’s become quite famous on set. -Matt Smith to Buzz Magazine
