You\u2019ve handed in your resignation because you wanted to, the decision to resign is yours and yours alone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But, as soon as she\u2019s faced with the gathered group of journalists outside, Nolly refuses to play ball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGentlemen, I have been sacked,\u201d she tells them, in no uncertain terms. You can check out the clip in full below.<\/p>\n<iframe title=\"&quot;Nolly\" first=\"\" look=\"\" itvx=\"\" width=\"&quot;200&quot;\" height=\"&quot;113&quot;\" src=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AldW93Bfifk?feature=oembed&quot;\" frameborder=\"&quot;0&quot;\" allow=\"&quot;accelerometer;\" autoplay=\"\" clipboard-write=\"\" encrypted-media=\"\" gyroscope=\"\" picture-in-picture=\"\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\/>\n<p style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">Speaking exclusively to <a href=\"&quot;https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/&quot;\">RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Davies revealed that the series will be \u201cvery mad in places\u201d but also promised that everything included in the show really did happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cIt\u2019s quite an extraordinary story, and quite an eccentric story,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s very mad in places. A whole generation will remember Benny and Miss Diane of the Crossroads reception, so there\u2019s a lovely sigh of recognition. But that\u2019s not what it\u2019s about.<\/p>\n<p style=\"&quot;font-weight:\">\u201cIt\u2019s also genuinely about the hard work of making a soap opera,\u201d he added. \u201cThis still goes on today. Those actors work so phenomenally hard and never get appreciated for it, so I hope it\u2019s waving a flag for all of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cast for the series \u2013 which reunited Davies with executive producer Nicola Shindler \u2013 also includes Mark Gatiss, Con O\u2019Neill, and Richard Lintern.<\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Abby Robinson<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nolly will air on ITVX in February 2023.
