It seems Lily, who is in a relationship with Matt Smith, has a fascination with the past - as she has also been filming 1940s movie, Guernsey, in Bristol.

Juliet decides to document the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, a book club formed on Guernsey Island in the English Channel during the wartime.
She then receives a letter from a farmer Dawsey, and after becoming pen pals, travels to the island to meet the members and write a book about the group.
The film is based on the 2008 best-selling novel of the same name by Annie Barros and Mary Ann Shaffer, which reached the No. 1 position on the New York Times best-seller list for paperbacks.
Racy: No doubt the film, released in two months will attract lots of new fans for the actors
