Jericho actress Jessica Raine

My life in eight objects, by actress Jessica Raine, star of Jericho

My sister realised that I get terrible sugar lows. As darkness descended she would stuf a fapjack in my mouth

1 Whisky and fask My Jericho co-star Hans Matheson bought me this to get through a day of flming love scenes at the top of a hill.

2 Print Tom and I share a love of John Singer Sargent, and this lady inspires something

in me. My frst Christmas present to Tom was this with a letter behind it in the frame.

3 Shell I grew up near Hayon-Wye and go home to unwind completely. That means nature, reading and

trips to antique shops to discover things like this shell.

4 Tunnock’s Caramel Wafer When I was 19, my sister realised that I get terrible sugar lows. She would notice the darkness descending and stuff a fapjack in my mouth. Most of the crews I work with have noted that I’m always eating on set.

5 Houses Tom and I got engaged in Copenhagen and decided to buy these wooden houses to commemorate the weekend. There was constant rain so it was quite fraught!

6 Book Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer is terrifying and

brilliant. I wanted to put it in the freezer every night when I was reading it because

I was so scared. 7 Radio I love having the radio on at home. It’s such a strong, truthful medium. I mostly listen

to BBC 6 Music, or French Radio London in an effort to pick up the language.

8 Clapper This was the last shot we flmed on the BBC’s

Partners in Crime. I always get emotionally draining characters, so I loved playing a lighter part and being

gif ted the clapper.
