She was also exceptional in Iris.

I don't get the fuss with Helen Mirren. I think Hollywood just loses their tit for any RADA voiced actor/actress who portrays a royal eg. Helen M, Judi, D, Colin F...
Let me add Olivia bleeping Colman to that list. I can’t stand the toothy, gurning twit who just plays the same character over and over but has also somehow ascended to national treasure status.
Hahaha I’m not sure what on earth happened to the beginning of my post there!!! My mum hated Grange Hill but was even more upset when I told her ‘real’ school was much, much worse!From the first bit of your post I thought you was telling us your husband couldn’t watch Grange Hill but not to feel too sorry for him because he had a friend
I think Grange Hill was seen as a bit ‘able to corrupt the children’ by some!
We will have to agree to disagree! It's a masterpiece!Yeh yeh - Prime Suspect is an ok TV show, but it is hardly hitting the zenith of the thespian arts!
I'd rather
I'd rather Julie Walters.
I love Prime Suspect and have watched it several times. I remember when the first one was shown on TV, everyone talking about it at work the next day and the excitement of waiting for the next episode. I don't really think you get that with TV now because so many shows you can binge watch, or they have ads for them every five minutes or they're discussed constantly in the media. There's no build up of tension any more...
Judi Denchs career up until the 90s was mainly theatre (original Sally bowles in cabaret, desiree in a little night music plus loads of Shakespeare). It was a very successful and well respected career though. Then TV made her more well known, and then Mrs Brown, and James Bond, sent her career soaring. Aside those big ones, plus Shakespeare in love and best exotic marigold hotel, She's done loads of small films like Mrs Henderson presents, notes on a scandal and Philomena.
I've seen her on stage a couple of times and she has enormous stage presence and is excellent. I think the fact she is naturally funny and comes across well in interviews has endeared her to a lot of people.
Her and Maggie Smith are probably the best of their generation

Think I first saw her in Green Wing and Peep Show so have never understood the treasure aspect. Funny? Sure. But that is it.
My uncle worked in RTE. His wife drove us through once and I saw the actual Wagon. A wow moment of my childhood!
Judi Dench plays properly against type in that role. She's terrific in it.
Does anyone remember Mr Merlin? He was a modern day secret wizard with a skate boarding bouffant haired apprentice - who I fancied - and it was based in San FRancisco. That was ITV.
Julie Walters is one of the funniest actresses ever.
Talking of Shakespeare... Here's Brian Cox doing a Shakespeare masterclass with a 21/2 year old

We got it in Scotland. My wee sister used to love watching it as there was this guy in there she thought was cute but neither of us can remember who now.

I think it was when she played Elizabeth in Shakespeare In Love that everyone started to ass-kiss her saying she deserved the Oscar unlike Gwyneth.
I have to ask ... What does this relate to? I'll entirely lost!
This is an art attack, this is an art attack, this. Is. Art attack!!!!
