Downton Abbey star Laura Carmichael plays Agatha, and opened up about the role on This Morning. She said: "So we shot in Sydney in their winter and it's just gorgeous, it feels like our summer! We had a great time and I loved it, it's an amazing cast and crew... I always say after Downton I sort of had ambitions of acting in jeans, I really just wanted to wear normal clothes and get to work and throw it on, but it was great."
