Unfortunately, I am responsible for that voice from the princess character. It was elements of Tennessee Williams and Vivien Leigh, but combined with Mike Tyson trapped in a woman's body. That was really the reference for it, and I was inspired by Miranda Richardson's Queen from the Blackadder series.

There's something very sinister about a woman who is predatory but has an absurd voice working as a disservice to her. Those two things in tandem I thought were very interesting concepts, and I mentioned it to Ben and he loved the idea. I just loved the fact that it would make Ben laugh and, as irritating as it was when I was trying to do serious work with that accent, he'd be killing himself on the other side of camera.

It was just a joy and such a privilege to be in a position where I could play a character that was so different to Aeryn; and [it was] stimulating for me to create something from scratch again. It was fantastic.
