Bouquet of Barbed Wire - ITV press pack

ITV have uploaded a press pack to their site which is available for download here. 

Included in the press pack is a detailed (spoilerish) synopsis, a great interview with Tom and the other cast members, who also include lovely comments about Tom.

Hermione Norris - “When you are dealing with actors who are all used to working with heavier material it makes it easier to switch off when the cameras stop rolling. We laughed a lot. Tom probably had the darkest storyline to follow. He had to snog me in some of those scenes! He is a lovely, lovely man. I thought he was very good and handled difficult stuff really well."

Imogen Poots - “Tom Riley and I quickly passed the stage of being polite and cautious with each other, which allowed us to really enjoy bouncing off one another and challenge each other. He was such a great support and a dream to work with in that sense. We had fun with it.” Imogen admits she and Tom, who plays Gavin Sorenson, have become firm friends as a result of filming Bouquet of Barbed Wire…

“It’s very rare when you are filming with other actors to stay in touch as friends on a regular basis. Tom Riley is a friend and an incredible person. He was really a pleasure to be around at all times. Despite the dark nature of some scenes, Imogen and Tom had a lot of fun filming on set.

“We were quite thankful to have each other on set, especially because the subject did get so dark sometimes. We helped each other to disconnect from it.

“It was snowing at one point during filming, and one of Tom’s favourite things to do was knock on my door and throw a snowball at me when I opened it. I have to admit it grew slightly boring after a while but he continued to do it, everyday, until the snow melted!”

Jemima Rooper - “I also like working for Mammoth and one of my best friends, Tom Riley, plays Gavin and that always makes it fun. We only had one scene together, but we were in fits of giggles for most of it so I think the director was very happy we didn’t have anymore together! “It is quite a dark piece so it was nice to have lighter moments off camera. I think that was really important. Tom and Imogen had a really good working relationship so consequently Imogen is now a good friend of mine.
