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.

Their unmatched filmmaker relationships have led to a wide library of films, all of which we are so proud to have been collaborators. As well as business colleagues, I could not be prouder to call Tim and Eric friends. All of us at Universal look forward to continuing our partnership.”
