The Amazing Mrs Pritchard
Jonathan Aris is Sir Richard Leavis
听
"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.
听
"Discreet, loyal and professional, he does whatever he can to smooth Ros' way through the mind-boggling tangle of government.
听
"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."
