Every new season of Fringe has messed with the show’s status quo, but never have we seen a gamechanger of the scale of season five’s opening. Returning to the Observer-ruled 2036 established in one-off season four episode “Letters Of Transit”, the new season sees the Fringe team awakened after two decades in amber to take the fight to their trilby-wearing oppressors. Last thing we knew, Olivia Dunham was missing in action, but we don’t think it’s giving too much away to say she doesn’t stay missing for long – otherwise this interview with leading lady Anna Torv might have been rather brief...

Anna Torv: "I just love the alt Olivia. The days when I was playing the alt-Olivia were just easier, she was just so quick to laugh, and quick to smile. She made me happy, you know. Not that I don’t love our Olivia, but our Olivia just carries so much on her shoulders. Alt-Olivia had a different function in the show as well, there was this freedom in being second-in-charge, she didn’t have to carry the weight of the cases, because that was Lincoln’s job in the alternate universe. Even that was freeing, she could be the sidekick a little bit more, whereas our Olivia is constantly responsible for saving the world..."
Fringe season five comes to Sky1 on Wednesday 24 October at 10pm.
