'Tell us about the dynamic between the three main characters...
"The balance of the characters at script stage was a real challenge since you have to ensure that while the focus is on Fred, Cathal and Jules play into his world in a meaningful and significant manner. The spark between Colm Meaney and Colin Morgan was instant. They both had a very strong instinct for the characters and an immediate rapport with each other as actors."
What’s it been like working with Colm and Colin?
"Colin Morgan is a brilliant young actor. His approach to the role of 'Cathal' was to research the part meticulously and then to inhabit the role profoundly. We did some work with the Aids Alliance in Dublin advising Colin on the technical realities of drug use and misuse. Colin had a little support with some dialogue coaching since he's from Armagh in Northern Ireland and was playing a young man from Dublin's north inner city. But, generally Colin found the 'voice' of his character himself and required very little guidance on set."'
