Star Hermione says scaring people is writer’s aim
defending the harrowing scenes, she admits she’s been too scared to watch.
Her view chimes with star Idris – who has said he finds the episodes too gruelling and he’d rather watch kids’ cartoons.
Hermione said: “I can’t go and see horror films, I don’t like scary things.
“I know people who do, and they like the adrenaline hit. I’d probably be with Idris watching Shrek myself.”
The hit show, which climaxed with DCI Luther being arrested, is now tipped for the big screen. Hermione added: “Idris was one of the most lovely, generous actors. He was funny – I’d love to work with him again.”
She found fame as Karen Marsden in Cold Feet, which returns on Tuesday. And she spent chunks of last year away filming – but says it’s easier than looking after kids Wilf, 14, and Hero, 11, with screenwriter hubby Simon Wheeler.
Hermione said: “I go to work for a holiday. I was away a lot, but I’m always on FaceTime at the table, while they eat.”

This week Fred appears on
BBC Two series My Million Pound Menu, where restaurant pop-ups vie for investment.
