Christian Brassington Interview

Cast Interview: Christian Brassington

MASTERPIECE: Ossie is a clown and yet he’s a monster, he’s someone that you cannot wait to see on screen most of the time, and then there are those moments when you can’t bear to see him on screen. I don’t feel like I’ve encountered many characters like that, that are so entertaining and delightful, and then just so unbearable. Was that something that you particularly like about him?
BRASSINGTON: I suppose so. It wasn’t something that we were particularly going for, if I’m being honest, the idea that when he first appears in the show he does seem so completely ridiculous—he’s self-obsessed and vain and preening, and he just seems so silly, so stupid and ridiculous. So I suppose I quite like the idea that you would lead people into a false sense of security or a false sense of ridiculousness. Because I think that the problem that happens in the Whitworth household for Morwenna, and I think it happens in a lot of abusive relationships as well, is that the outside world will see a version of somebody. So I think that when George and Elizabeth see Ossie, they find him ridiculous and they find him a bit priggish or what have you, but they don’t realize the extent of his monstrosity, and the abuse that he metes out to Morwenna, and so I suppose I was keen for that to happen, for it to be a multilayered character in that way.

MASTERPIECE: What’s it like working with Aidan Turner?
BRASSINGTON: We’re sort of in two different worlds, you know—all the good looking young lads are off doing the swashbuckling stuff and I’m eating cake, and being mean to Morwenna… But there’s a scene in the carriage in episode three that was great fun to film. It’s always a lovely thing to see him on set and to do a bit with him.

MASTERPIECE: What was it like to say goodbye to everyone when the season finished?
BRASSINGTON: It was tough. I’ve loved playing Ossie, and so it was tough to say goodbye. When you actually finish filming, you’re aware that there’s so much more to come in terms of going through ADR, and there’ll be loads of screenings, and there will be all the promotion and stuff, and so you know you’re going to see people again. They’ve all just gone back to filming season five, so I felt it much more when they’re all down in Cornwall filming, more actually than when I finished filming.

MASTERPIECE: What would you like to see happen in Poldark Season 5?
BRASSINGTON: I would like to see Morwenna have some happiness, I’d like that to happen, and for her good spirit and kind heart to do something positive, and to be free. And for Drake and Sam hopes to find some happiness as well. What would I like to do? I would like for Ross to realize what he has in Demelza and to stop being such an idiot about it. What else? I would like to see Prudie do more running. I think that’s the main thing: I want to see Beatie Edney do more running, every episode, ideally.

MASTERPIECE: In wondering what’s next for you, I understand that your wife works on The Durrell in Corfu, a show that we air and we love…Could we hope to see a part for you in that show? That’s basically what all of us want.
BRASSINGTON: That would be a lovely situation, but the fact that they are nearly finished filming it means that I’m probably not going to be in the series.
MASTERPIECE: You could be a visitor! They have a lot of visitors, for one episode. Just saying. You could be a fisherman!
BRASSINGTON: They come out to Greece and they film all the outsides before they come back to London and film all the interiors. And they finish in Greece today. I absolutely love the show. And it’s very nice that my wife’s show’s at 8:00 and we’re on at 9:00; it’s a lovely thing that they’re right next to each other.

MASTERPIECE: So what’s next for you?
BRASSINGTON: So I’m in a movie called Fisherman’s Friends, which is a British comedy filmed in Cornwall, again, brilliantly, and that’s in the UK on December the third, and I’d love it to come over to this side of the pond as well. That’d be wonderful. I think you guys would really, really like it, and it’s a sort of Full Monty-esque tale—it’s very funny, and it’s got a lovely cast, so that’s what’s coming out.

MASTERPIECE: I know that David and Georgia Tennant were trolling you when you did your Poldark Twitter Q&A…
BRASSINGTON: [Laughs] Yes!

MASTERPIECE: Now, and Georgia’s brother was on the cast of Poldark; he’s the new Geoffrey Charles, right?
BRASSINGTON: That’s right, yeah! Louis Davison—yes, he was Geoffrey Charles, that was a nice little coincidence that we had, it was nice to see him there. We didn’t get to be in anything together, unfortunately.

MASTERPIECE: And what did you think of this Instagram video that David and George filmed while you were doing your Poldark Q&A on Twitter?
BRASSINGTON: Well, I mean, it was just very unkind; very unhelpful… Very hard to concentrate! Yeah.

BRASSINGTON: [Aside:] The newspaper, she wants to know if it..When you filmed me doing the…
DAVID TENNANT: I think the Radio Times in the UK picked it up.
BRASSINGTON: It was the Radio Times that picked it up. They [David and George Tennant!] are here while I’m doing this interview. Although they’ve been much kinder.
MASTERPIECE: What?! That’s great! That’s so funny.
BRASSINGTON: Yeah. I think it was incredibly unhelpful. But nice, you know. Nice to have some attention.

MASTERPIECE: [Laughs] Well, I thank you so much for taking all this time to talk with us. And for this really wonderful performance that has brought so much to the show. We’ll really miss Ossie, even though mostly we’re just glad to see him go!
BRASSINGTON: Thank you, not at all!
