My 89 year old grandparents win the award for most adorable email ever 🥰🥰🥰 Feeling blessed

Thanks for all your questions guys and thanks to #sanditonsisterhood for setting this up. Great to watch the show with you all. Here is Fred sliding off for the night. BTS #AskJames #NotTheSameMan #Sanditon

@peapoddle I would like to see Fred go head to head with Tom over workers rights and perhaps a little love interest? Who knows?

#AskJames Where would you like to see your character going if we get another season? (🤞🤞🤞🤞) #Sanditon #SaveSanditon #NotTheSameMan

@sanditonfnditon Well Sanditon of course

#AskJames what’s been your favorite production you’ve worked on?

@carsNcors @sanditonfnditon I actually thought that for his character yes

#AskJames what’s the future have in store for Fred?

@tammyr72 The cricket was a brilliant week of filming and we had loads of fun bowling and batting at each other

#AskJames Was the cricket all choreographed or did you get to have any fun playing?

@heywood_ms Yes we did we were out on the water for a whole day

#AskJames Did you and the other actors actually get to race against each other at the Regatta

@BeaumondeBelle I am a bit of a history geek so love doing the reading around the period and subject of the script

#AskJames Thank you for joining us today for Episode 7. You have appeared in several historical dramas, what do you find most satisfying about the historical genre? #SaveSanditon #Sanditon

@HollyLexgal9999 Gardening! Lots and lots of Gardening

#askjames Thanks for joining us today! What have you been doing during Covid-19 lockdown? Anything substantial? #Sanditon #SanditonPBS #NotTheSameMan

@biancalimr Fred and James were at school together really old friends

@Jayce276 Absolutely but then good job he wasn’t so he could help put out the fire

#AskJames Did you feel short changed that Fred didn't get to go to the ball?

@WingmanRobinson I think there needs to be a Mrs Robinson (cue music) at some point for sure...... but who could that be? I’m open to suggestions

Is there anyone you’d like to have a substantial conversation with in season 2😉. Phillida or Julia Beaufort perhaps?😁#AskJames

@TinyToesTom05 The same really. Just better costumes in period drama and filming on soaps is so quick in comparison

#AskJames How does acting in a period drama compare to a soap opera?

@NunyaB127 Babbington, he has the best house

#AskJames Which #Sanditon character would you most like to quarantine with?

@phantocat Absolutely!..... but only if she wears a hat

#AskJames #Sanditon Would you admit a girl to your cricket team? 😂

@TweetKP2011 LAMDA

@jatherton87 And what drama school was that? #AskJames

Little fact for you. Matt who plays Crowe was the year above me at Drama school #Sanditon #NotTheSameMan

@cmsausten Matt is an extremely funny man. Great to be around on set

@jatherton87 Was he as funny and droll as he is as Mr Crowe? 😮😮 #AskJames

@GSanditon I actually did try and tell him but he just LOVES that hat. 😂

#AskJames As Stringer's wingman, how could you let him wear that hat when hoping to have a substantial conversation?

@Lyn_sanditon Both are absolutely lovely people

#AskJames How was it working with Rose Williams and Theo James? Thank you.

@NunyaB127 Leo and I got on really well off set so I think that helped

#AskJames Fred and Young Stringer have a really nice relationship. Did you create a backstory for them? #Sanditon
