Hello, I'm Sam.

It's lovely being on a show that people continue to enjoy watching, and it's

even lovelier when you write to say so. So I thought we might go through a few

letters.

Here we go.

Dear Sam, I'm writing to say how much I've enjoyed watching your performance

in All Creatures Great and Small. Siegfried Farnan is my favourite

character.

woman of taste and intelligence, and I always look forward to scenes he's in.

In the books, I felt the character's eccentricity somewhat dominated his

personality, so I'm really enjoying seeing glimpses of vulnerability and

tenderness you bring to emotional scenes.

One of my favourite examples is the late-night conversation between

Siegfried and James before he leaves to start pilot training.

There's nothing I can say to James when he's about to go to war, but, of course,

I've been there before and he hasn't, so I can't make him scared or doubtful.

I just have to love him quietly.

I also love the impeccable suits you wear in the show.

Do you have a particular suit or accessory that reliably makes you feel

as if you've stepped into Siegfried Vaughan's shoes as soon as you wear it?

Thank you for bringing me a lot of viewing pleasure. Best wishes, Melanie

from Preston.

Thank you, Melanie from Preston. What an excellent letter.

Well, I think it's probably this.

Siegfried's pipe. I'm not allowed to smoke very much because people don't

like it, but I try and get one or two good pipe-smoking scenes in every

episode.

I hope that answers your question.

Thank you, Becky.

That's an incredibly kind letter.

Audrey is absolutely hot of Scaled Out and one of the things I really like

about the show is bringing kindness to the fore, bringing friendship and

compassion for people, trying to show that love and compassion to everyone you

So I'm very touched that that's come across to you. That's really wonderful.
