Nicola Coughlan has filmed a tense labour sequence for Netflix’s upcoming Roald Dahl adaptation, Tales of the Unexpected
Her character, Mary Maloney, is a pregnant housewife whose difficult journey to hospital becomes entangled in a heated roadside confrontation involving Naomi Scott and Josh Finan
The six-part drama reworks Lamb to the Slaughter, following Mary as she waits for her police-detective husband, Patrick, played by Arthur Hughes
The story takes a decidedly dark turn when marital tensions erupt, promising the sort of twist that would make even a village fête gossip sit up.
