Potter, Peter and me

I wanted to write a homage, in a way - but not trying to be her, because I can't be her

Oscar-winning actress and screenwriter Emma Thompson is once again stepping into the shoes of Beatrix Potter and releasing her second Peter Rabbit book, as the first authorised writer for the bunny since Beatrix herself.

Watch Emma talk to This Morning about taking on this daunting task, her father's inspiration and how it all began with an unexpected delivery from her beloved childhood character - as well as playing Pierce Brosnan's ex-wife in new British comedy Love Punch.
