Heavy role...

There are lots of changes to The Durrells when the family return in the ITV period drama on Sunday night.

But actress Keeley Hawes, right, admits that for a lot of viewers it is all about the animals on screen.

“We know no one is going to be listening to anything you say when there is an animal in the scene. We’re used to that now.

“And in this series we also have Frank the sloth. I don’t think I’d ever seen one before. It’s so unusual – just gorgeous and so cute. However, he was very heavy!”
