The Amazing Mrs Pritchard
Jonathan Aris is Sir Richard Leavis
Μύ
"Richard Leavis is the PM's Principal Private Secretary. An unelected civil servant, he has more experience of the nuts and bolts of government than almost anyone in Ros' team.
Μύ
"Discreet, loyal and professional, he does whatever he can to smooth Ros' way through the mind-boggling tangle of government.
Μύ
"I really enjoy playing this part. Jane jokes that Richard is always the bearer of bad news, but I like their relationship, and it was a treat to be at all the Cabinet meetings and Ros' private briefings."
