Bethan Cecil: Developing a character

Actor Bethan Cecil says that developing a character comes with practice since there is only so much you can do by studying the script. The text established certain facts, like the age of her character, but Bethan says that she must take it beyond that and get to the essence of Betty. Watching children, and how they behave, helped her get into her part.
