He loved Julia so completely, and she him, and to get to explore that kind of a relationship, especially that kind of relationship at this age, you know, they had been together since World War II where they met so we don&#x27;t always necessarily see a kind of deeply committed loving relationship of people in their 60s, and so that&#x27;s fun, too.&quot;</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Sarah Lancashire and Brittany Bradford.

And I think they learn from each other. I think Julia does learn from Alice, and I think Alice learns from Julia. And also this was my first TV job. So like coming in and learning about all of that and having Alice, this is her first big gig and producing Julie or being on her team, there were a lot of parallels,&quot; Bradford said.</p><div class="embed-wrap"><figure data-feedback="fb:likes,fb:comments"><img alt="Fran Kranz.

So I think maybe it&#x27;s sort of influenced me and how I kind of approached that audition, thankfully, because then I got this incredible, incredible job,&quot; Kranz shared.</p><p>The series also stars Bebe Neuwirth and Fiona Glascott.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sjyztePyOL4?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
