Описание: Shirley Henderson interview on Dept. Q at premiere: Humour in dark drama & enjoying Scotland

Shirley Henderson's experience with the series Dept. Q highlights her journey into the role of Claire, underscoring the creative collaboration that shaped her character. Initially intrigued by the project even without a script, she was drawn in by director Scott Frank's imaginative vision and colorful ideas. This collaboration allowed for a unique character development process, where Henderson actively contributed to shaping her role.

One of the series' distinctive features is its blend of humor within the police drama genre, which Henderson finds particularly appealing. She emphasizes the importance of balancing heavy themes with lighter moments, especially considering the series' Scottish setting. The humor serves as a counterbalance to the drama, making the show more engaging and relatable.

Henderson expresses admiration for her co-star Matthew Goode and the ensemble of Scottish actors, noting the dynamic and enjoyable atmosphere on set. Filming in Scotland, with locations ranging from studios to scenic spots like North Beric and Edinburgh, provided a familiar yet varied backdrop that enhanced the storytelling.

The show's unique appeal lies in Scott Frank's distinctive interpretation of the source material, bringing a fresh perspective to the series. Henderson hopes that audiences will appreciate the show's visual style and the chemistry of the ensemble cast.

While she remains reserved about future projects, Henderson's enthusiasm for her role in Dept. Q and the creative process involved is evident. Her passion for the project and the collaborative environment has clearly made a significant impact on her experience.
