The Fife star and Joely are appearing in a BBC adaption of John Wyndham's classic science-fiction novel The Day Of The Triffids.
Nip/Tuck star Joely, 44, had been given time off to be with her family but yesterday returned to the set of the BBC remake of The Day Of The Triffids, which also stars Joely and Natasha's mother Vanessa Redgrave.
We are enormously excited to have secured this stellar cast for The Day Of The Triffids," the BBC quoted Executive producer Justin Bodle as saying.
