British actress Jodie Whittaker recently appeared on the popular talk show, The Jonathan Ross Show, where she discussed her latest series, “Toxic Town,” which is currently streaming on Netflix. The show, which quickly rose to number one in the UK, is based on a true story and focuses on a group of mothers who fought for justice for their children.
Whittaker plays the role of Susan McIntyre, an incredible woman who spearheads the fight for justice and acknowledgment of the negligent behavior that caused an entire town to become toxic. The story centers around the discovery that children born in the late ’90s with limb differences were affected by the environment they were living in.
What makes “Toxic Town” so gripping is not just the environmental aspect, but the strength and determination of these women. Whittaker’s performance as Susan McIntyre is truly exceptional, and she is joined by an incredible cast, including Amy L Wood and Robert Kow.
During her interview with Jonathan Ross, Whittaker also talked about the challenges of adopting a Scottish accent for the role. The character of Susan McIntyre is from Corby, a town with a significant Scottish community due to the steelworks industry. Whittaker admitted that she doesn’t naturally sound like Susan and had to work hard to master the accent. She even joked that she traveled “around the World in 80 Days” every time she opened her mouth on set.
“Toxic Town” is receiving rave reviews and is a must-watch for fans of gripping dramas. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s available for streaming on Netflix. Jodie Whittaker‘s portrayal of Susan McIntyre, alongside the talented cast, promises an unforgettable viewing experience. So, make sure to add it to your watchlist and prepare for an emotional and thought-provoking journey into the fight for justice in a toxic town.
