So that\u2019s [the tutor] played by Dolly Wells, Stanley Tucci the prisoner and David Tennant being the vicar, and somehow their lives all intertwined and they\u2019re all connected in some way. So it\u2019s a bit of a dot to dot of how these three individuals could connect.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">\u201cBut it\u2019s definitely a nail-biting, high suspense thriller. That I\u2019m very, very excited for everyone to see.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"&quot;auto&quot;\">West will play the character Beth Davenport, whose storyline is somehow connected to Stanley Tucci\u2019s

I\u2019ve never had my portrait drawn, so I was for up for the challenge. I didn\u2019t really know what it would entail or what to make of it until I got there.
