One of the most compelling aspects of new Netflix detective series Dept. Q is what happens to Chloe Pirrie's character Merritt Lingard, as we follow her through a terrifying and traumatic experience.
The scenes set in the chamber are naturally tense and claustrophobic, and speaking exclusively with RadioTimes.com, Pirrie revealed how she got herself into the mindset of someone held captive in that state for so long.
She said: "It's a big thing. I did a lot of research about the pressure chambers and stuff like that. I also did a lot of research about solitary confinement and just reading accounts of it, which were obviously quite affecting."
"So I read a lot of accounts of what starts to happen to both your mind and body and the two in tandem, and how one affects the other.

"And that was all really rich, because then the specificity of what type of pain you're in and whether your sense of reality and what types of things start to happen and become unbearable.
Pirrie also spoke about the end of the season, which sees Merritt being saved at the last minute by Matthew Goode's Carl Morck and Alexej Manvelov's Akram Salim.
"But I don't know, I have a feeling that she wouldn't... What do you do when you're spat out of something like this? I hope that she can kind of lead a slightly more peaceful life, but I also hope that she can kind of rebuild herself."
