Did you know

• Jodie Comer had been carousing with friends at a music festival in Barcelona (Spain), and nursing a hangover, when she got the call to audition with Sandra Oh in Los Angeles. Despite feeling her chances of landing the part were slim at best, she took a 13-hour flight to L.A. and after 5 minutes in reading with Sandra, the pair clicked.

• Sandra Oh has said that she 'waited' 30 years for a role as meaty as this. When she first read the script, however, she had no idea who the producers wanted her to play, assuming she would be a receptionist or doctor, or some such secondary role usually attached to Asian actresses. Needless to say, she was ecstatic when her agent, Nancy Mendelson Gates, assured her she'd be playing Eve.

• Kenny (Sean Delaney) and Carolyn (Fiona Shaw) were not originally scripted to be mother and son. It was only three weeks into shooting when Sandra Oh (Eve) saw a similarity between the two characters. This inspired Phoebe Waller-Bridge to make both characters related.
