TOTAL SCIFI ONLINE: Daniel Mays and Amy Manson: “Carpathia represents a second chance...”
Posted on Thursday 24 February 2011

In BBC One’s Outcasts, Daniel Mays plays Cass Cromwell, one of the members of the Protection and Security (PAS) force in Forthaven, the human settlement on Carpathia. As the series develops, he finds himself partnered with Amy Manson’s Fleur Morgan and they begin to question the whole basis of the regime...
... What attracted you to the role, and what did you think when you first read the scripts?
Amy Manson: Probably Fleur’s quick retorts, initially, and her playfulness with Cass. She does adhere to orders but at the same time she manages to have a laugh about it. Then obviously there was the grandness of the project as a whole.
Daniel: It was just a very interesting and fascinating concept to take on really. I thought the notion of starting again if Earth had come to this end was really interesting to get into, striving forward and making this new world – and preventing making the same mistakes again.
If we could make these characters as human and believable as possible, the thing could really come to life. It’s a risky thing to take on, but in life you’ve got to take risks...
Outcasts concludes on 27 February 2011 (BBC One).
