Gemma Arterton has paid tribute to her Black Narcissus co-star, the late Dame Diana Rigg, as an “amazing legend” who she was “honoured” to work with.
The BBC mini-series, which airs across three nights later in December, follows a group of Anglo-Catholic nuns as they travel to a remote part of Nepal to set up a branch of their order, but are soon beset by temptation.
Arterton, 34, plays rebel nun Sister Clodagh opposite Dame Diana as Mother Dorothea in her final TV appearance.
The Quantum Of Solace star said her relationship with Dame Diana began through her husband, Irish actor Rory Keenan.
