Neil Morrissey and Fay Ripley are two of the national treasures of British television. From Line Of Duty to Cold Feet, Waterloo Road and Midsomer Murders, it is hard to find a drama that the pair have not appeared in.

Surprisingly, though, they’ve never starred in a series together – until now, as they team up to play a husband and wife in Channel 5’s new treasure-hunting drama, Finders Keepers. “We’ve strategically avoided each other throughout our careers until this point, and then the train crash happened,” jokes Neil, 61. “It was a joy every day.

Fay’s very prepared, very organised, very professional and hilarious with her and James Buckley [who plays Ashley Taylor], it was a laugh-fest all the way through.” Fay, 57, agrees. “It felt like we had worked together before,” she says. “Day one, we got in and we were on the same wavelength for most things – it felt very familiar.” “We also have the same agent,” adds Neil. “And I’ve seen Fay over the years on all the TV programmes that she’s done, she’s an absolute tour de force.” Neil plays Martin Stone, a detectorist who along with his soon-to-be son-in-law Ashley (James) stumbles on a hoard of buried Saxon treasure worth millions.

Legally, they should declare the find, but Ashley says they should sell it on the black market. Financial pressures are mounting at home and Martin wants to provide for his doting wife, Anne (Fay), who is planning their daughter’s wedding, so he goes along with the plan.

her “planned abdominal surgery.”The Princess of Wales, 42, returned home to Windsor Monday morning, where she will continue to recover behind closed doors until after Easter.The mother-of-three spent a total of 13 days at the London Clinic, before she was whisked away to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, where she was reunited with Prince William and their three children.“The Princess of Wales has returned home to Windsor to continue her recovery from surgery. She is making good progress,” Kensington Palace said in a statement Monday.“The Prince and Princess wish to say a huge thank you to the entire team at The London Clinic, especially the dedicated nursing staff, for the care they have provided.”William, who had hit the brakes on his official engagements while Kate was in the hospital, is expected to resume his official duties once the Princess settles in back at home.“The Wales family continues to be grateful for the well wishes they have received from around the world,” the statement concluded.Royal sources say Kate’s return to official duties “will depend on medical advice closer to the time.”Since news of Kate’s health woes came to light, Kensington Palace has contacted the Princess’ 30 charities to postpone and reschedule engagements.Kate’s father-in-law, King Charles, remains in the London Clinic this afternoon after being admitted three days ago for treatment of an enlarged prostate.Last week, it was reported that the Princess didn’t tell those close to the royal family about her surgery.Sources told People that the news took Middleton’s loved ones by surprise, especially as “there had been no indication that anything was wrong” with her before her hospitalization on Jan.
