Dockery is wrapped up warm on this chilly late-winter’s day. She, like many of the Burnt By The Sun cast, is fighting off a cold and has a scarf wrapped tightly round her neck to protect her throat. Yet the sniffles don’t seem to have gotten her down; she is cheery and upbeat, enthusiastic. She is as warm and affable as the weather outside is cold and harsh. There is a sense of ease about Dockery which may be in her nature or may grow from her confidence. “I just want a really varied career,” she says, “and just to keep going really.” Having come to the art so young, acting is all that she knows and all that she wants to do. “This is it,” she smiles, “until I can’t walk any more or until I start forgetting my lines.”
