Anna Friel confused by SFX Dalek

Anna Friel admitted to being in possession of stolen money at a press junket this morning promoting the of launch on Pushing Daisies on ITV1 in April. But don’t worry, the police won't be investigating (though Lucas Film might).

At the press conference – which also featured the show’s star Lee Pace and its creator Bryan Fuller – Friel admitted it was a thrill to work on in the US.

SFX may not have got to interview Friel personally (she was nabbed by some TV rag for a photoshoot – bah) though we did chat exclusively to Pace and Fuller (who's a huge fan of the magazine… a subscriber, indeed) for a future feature. However, SFX certainly made an impression on Friel in one way. Your dopey scribe decided to use his mobile phone to record the press conference (don't ask why) and at least had the sense to turn off the ringing tone before placing it on the desk in front of Friel and co. Trouble is, there's a dancing Dalek attached to the phone, who spins and glows blue when there's an incoming call. You can guess the rest.
