Jace:
Is
it true that you made a bet with Jess that you wouldn’t be back for the second
season?

Allen:
Not
for the second. I was sure after she died. I said, “They’ll get rid of Branson
now. He’ll go away. He’ll do something.” And she said, “I don’t think so. I
think they’re gonna keep you.” And I said, “I bet you.” And I bet her quite a substantial
amount of money…

Jace:
I
read it was a thousand pounds.

Allen:
It
was a thousand pounds. And she said, “Done, deal, bet.” And then I got a text
when the scripts came out for Season 4 from her saying “I was just round at
Michelle’s and I read some of the pages. I believe you owe me some money.” And
so I met up with her, and I was all prepared to pay her. Instead I just had to
buy the round of drinks for that night.

Jace:
That was quite generous.

Allen:
It was quite generous. But then, you know, Jess drinks like a fish, so it was
probably about a thousand pounds by the time she was finished.
