A biography for Charlotte Ritchiehasn’t been written yet.
“I don't really watch shows as a regular routine any more, but I loved 'Happy Valley'. Yes it was depressing, but at least I knew it would all be over in six episodes.”
“And since I have become an actor, not one person has asked me what degree I got.”
“I'm just getting to know the local pubs. I do enjoy going out in east London.”
“The amount of people online who game is huge. It's a community that's not very visible but is in full force.”
“I have this irrational fear of north London - it feels like proper London, scary and fast moving.”
“I bring my own energy to any part, and in 'Siblings', I get to bring my horrible side.”
“You have that first joy of finding work, and then to become part of a show like 'Call the Midwife' - which I have watched religiously with my mum since it started -is doubly brilliant.”
“I used to sing as a living while I was at university.”
“My favorite thing is just walking around London in no direction. I love people watching. And you can turn down a street and feel suddenly as if you are in Venice, or you'll be in a Spanish area or somewhere very English or Middle Eastern.”
“It's always incredible though when you feel like the writer knows the character intimately and can see their life sprawling away outside of the show.”
“If I actually thought about 'Fresh Meat' going on television, I just couldn't or wouldn't do it - it's so terrifying!”
“I think people don't think or talk about death very much. I don't think we're very open about it, at least in my experience.”
“I used to tell really boring stories as a child, about my toy panda's nose falling off, or something equally dull.”
“I can't imagine London is different to anywhere else - people with cars are always the most popular.”
“I'm kind of a bit of a space nerd. I like all of that kind of stuff.”
“I'm a big fan of both Linda Bassett and Pam Ferris, but had to pretend I was calm about it.”
“My favorite station is BBC Radio 6 Music, in particular Shaun Keaveny's morning show. It's on while I'm dashing around getting ready. He's a comedian and really makes me laugh, and I love his choice of music - often bands I've never heard before.”
“I hope radio is more popular than it might seem. There aren't that many radio plays on and I think they have a bit of a bad rep for being not very gripping or low budget or on at funny times.”
“My mum's father was a producer and her mother was an actress, so my mum was fully behind me going into acting.”
“Singing in character you can be more of a show off or more modest because it isn't yourself it's a nice way to sing, unusual, a bit like being in musical I guess.”
