Dawn French reveals why she had to star in new comedy Can You Keep a Secret and talks sitcom’s emotive real-life inspiration

She said truly good sitcoms are hard to find. She admitted she wasn’t initially eager to read the script, but she found Paul to be very likeable and underrated. While Richard Curtis usually gets all the praise, she emphasized that Paul co-wrote ‘Vicar’ and played a significant role. Because of this, she felt she needed to politely decline the script.
