Today Richard and his co-star Jessica Gunning join Lorraine, Richard tells us how he coped with reliving some of his past traumas, and why he blames himself for some of his stalker’s behaviour. As well as that, he’ll explain why he always wanted Jessica to play the role of Martha and Jessica reveals how she came up with Martha's iconic laugh and why she didn't do any research on her for the show.

    The show blew my mind for many reasons. The courage involved is definitely part of it, but ultimately, it is work of the highest quality and because of that, despite the difficult elements, it's just a joy to watch. The writing and casting are outstanding. And the acting is sublime. I really hope they are all super proud of themselves because they all really nailed it.

    Imagine sharing parts of your life to a multitude of people and still being accepted after, the relief it must bring. (Especially in never having to retell it again & the opportunity to be able to finally let it go completely and allow yourself to move on entirely from it because it’s not something you have to fight to remember anymore, as if remembering it confirms that it was real for you even tho you want so badly to forget & eventually you do, but the aftermath can’t seem to leave with it) I wish I had the energy to piece back together some of mine (can’t even imagine where I would begin at this point) & courage to do the same. I admire this man for going through this incredibly difficult process & for being so raw, transparent, unfiltered & real. & kudos to the actors for capturing the complexity of humans from depicting the current of events accurately.

    This series!!! Oscar worthy for the writing, the acting- so artistically done- and to have the writer act this- my mind is blown at how brilliantly gifted Richard is. I’ve had two stalkers in my life, neither lasted this long- one 7 months and one 20 years later for a month- both so similar. I love that this film went so deep and that there was so much self reflection. I love that Richard had such a lovely Trans girlfriend who set some tough boundaries and got him to start self reflection. This series was so beautiful. I can’t say enough good things about it but days later I can’t stop thinking about it.

    How amazing is Jessica as Martha! And she is so pretty too. What a great job by everyone involved in the production. And yes, I think Richard was extremely brave to lay himself bare like that.
