The late Helen McCrory lends her talents to Fearless, a six-part crime drama set to debut on Netflix.

Perched on a desk on the 32nd floor of the Shard, the London skyline pushing through the fog behind her, Helen McCrory puts her arms around Michael Gambon. “I did my first ever TV with him,” she says, smiling. “I played his daughter in The Entertainer in the early Nineties.”

It’s a fitting memory, not least because Gambon has had everyone on today’s set in stitches. “We hate each other on screen,” says Gambon, referring to his and McCrory’s spiky relationship in ITV’s new legal conspiracy thriller Fearless. “But not off,” he adds with a wink. After years working together, the pair have formed a close friendship. “Her husband’s a lovely bloke, too,” says Gambon, as they air-kiss goodbye.

Fearless is on ITV on Monday nights.
