Una Stubbs: ‘I just think, Oh, I hope I can be good enough’
From an interview in the Observer newspaper, viewable over at The Guardian website:
“Some people say to me, ‘Oh, did they tell you to play Mrs Hudson like that?’ Well, no, I just came up with it. I was given the script and I got on with it. I just saw her more like a mother figure to these two boys. There’s so much nastiness going on [in the series] that maybe to introduce something a little nicer is a good thing.”
Can she see why Benedict Cumberbatch has become a sex symbol? “Yes, I can because he’s just so unusual. He’s joli laid. One minute, you think [she breaks off and does a little moue of distaste], but then the next minute you think, ‘Oh, you’re so gorgeous.’”
