Adjoa Andoh

A real-life Dame and a fictional Lady - Eileen Atkins and Adjoa Andoh, Bridgerton’s Lady Danbury - pair up to discover they’re kindred spirits, with a surprising amount in common. Their wide-ranging conversation takes in Eileen’s working class roots, her pushy stage mum, a naughty deception that paid off at the Guildhall, the letters of Virginia Woolf, co-creating two TV juggernauts - Upstairs, Downstairs and The House of Elliot, and how to stay young and limber; and Adjoa’s teenage yearning to be on the stage, quitting her Law degree to follow her dreams, her textbook 80s life on the road with a feminist touring company, the magic of actors and audiences coming together in theatre, and the joy of Shonda Rhimes. Introduced by Samantha Bond. Music by Dan Gillespie Sells. To make a donation to help UK theatre workers in financial need, please click on this link: https://actingforothers.co.uk/donate/Produced by Robert Rees and executive produced by Kevin Mundye and Rich Evans. Artwork by Ollie at Feast Creative.Editing by Matt and Scott at Podmonkey. Acting for Others Presents… is a Simple Beast Production.

Harry Mount hosts the Oldie Gang Show with guests Andrew Lownie, David Starkey and Dame Eileen Atkins.  Andrew Lownie reveals the true nature of the Duke of Windsor, the subject of his book, Traitor King: The Scandalous Exile of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.  Historian and broadcaster, David Starkey, paints a dynamic portrayal of Henry VIII as the both pivotal to British history and the progenitor of Brexit.
