Phoebe Dynevor on Phoebe
"Phoebe is the station master鈥檚 daughter. Her mother died some years back and so she has had to become a mother to her two younger brothers whom she adores. Phoebe is very much in love with Bert Middleton, I think he brings back that childish spark that she lost when her mother died and she had to quickly become an adult. She has a very kind soul and she sees the good in people, she鈥檚 a lovely character to play.
I couldn鈥檛 have asked for a better rolePhoebe Dynevor
"It鈥檚 always been my dream to do a period drama and I couldn鈥檛 have asked for a better role. I鈥檝e never spent so much time filming outside before which is lovely, especially in the sunshine. It鈥檚 also a lot of fun to dress up and your costume really helps you find your character.
"I鈥檝e never played such a big role before, so it鈥檚 a challenge and I really wanted to do well. Peter Moffat鈥檚 writing is so brilliant and honest so I found it really easy to connect with the character (besides sharing the same name)."
