Ambika Mod was one of the breakout stars of Adam Kay\u2019s series This is Going to Hurt<\/a> earlier this year, and now she\u2019s about to star in One Day, Netflix<\/a>\u2018s adaptation of the book by David Nicholls.<\/p>\n

This will be the second time the book has been adapted for the screen, after Anne Hathaway played the central role of Emma in a 2011 film version.<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a> spoke with Mod after she was chosen for this year\u2019s BAFTA Breakthrough scheme, which provides a springboard to creatives in film, games and TV, and asked how her new series will differ from the film adaptation.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt\u2019s a series so there\u2019s a lot more time to dedicate to the events of the book. I really enjoyed the film, but I think a lot of people felt that \u2013 and I would agree \u2013 that an hour-and-a-half movie isn\u2019t usually enough to dedicate to this epic novel that spans 20 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
