Joining Gyles this week is is one of Britain's best loved actresses, Anne Reid. Anne's long career began when a teacher at school persuaded her to apply for RADA at only 16, and after a stint in weekly rep and appearances on The Benny Hill Show and Hancock's Half Hour, she became a household name as Valerie Barlow in Coronation Street in the 60s, and then as a regular performer with Victoria Wood in the 80s. But it is arguably in later life that Anne has had the most notable, and interesting, roles in series like Last Tango In Halifax, Years and Years and The Sixth Commandment, as well as in the feature film The Mother with Daniel Craig. Anne tells Gyles about her childhood, growing up in the north-east during the war, about bombing raids and ballet classes. She talks about her parents' move to India, and delights Gyles with a story of an amazing trip she took to Delhi during her school holidays. She talks about her marriage to the producer Peter Eckersley, who sadly died in 1981, and her life since then. Thank you, Anne, for sharing your wonderful stories. Learn more about your ad choices.

Esta semana no nos fiamos de nadie. Empezamos no fiándonos ni de los grandes diseñadores de la moda con “The New Look” que nos narra las aventuras y desventuras de Christian Dior y Coco Chanel en la Francia ocupada por los nazis en Apple TV+; continuamos no fiándonos ni de nosotros mismos porque eso le sucede a la protagonista de “La Mujer en la pared” cuando se despierta con un cadáver en su casa y no sabe qué le ha sucedido en Skyshowtime; y terminamos en Filmin acatando “El quinto mandamiento” aquel en el que no deberíamos de matar pero todos sabemos que en las series es un mandamiento poco convincente, especialmente si la serie es británica y nos llega a Filmin Todo ello, como siempre sin spoilers. The New look El París ocupado por los nazis era una fantasía para los amantes de la moda. Allí coinciden BAlenciaga, Balmain y sobre todo Coco Chanel y Christian Dior teniendo que luchar por sobrevivir confeccionando “Haute Couture” para algunas de las personas más horribles de la historia de la humanidad. Sus enfrentamientos, colisiones y alianzas conforman esta historia de 10 episodios de Apple TV+ que nos llega ahora dos semanas después del Cristobal Balenciaga de Disney+ La Mujer en la pared Lorna BRady se despierta un día con un cadáver en su casa. Su vida ha estado cargada de episodios de sonambulismo y duda por completo de cómo y por qué ha llegado esa mujer a su salón. Con miedo a que ella haya sido la autora del asesinato tratará de descubrir la verdad del caso mientras tiene a un policía al borde de sus talones en una historia que le llevará a lidiar con su pasado en los conventos de la Magdalena. Producción de la BBC que nos llega de la mano de Skyshowtime con Ruth Wilson y Daryl McCormack a la cabeza. El Quinto Mandamiento Empecemos diciendo una curiosidad, esta serie se llama originalmente el sexto mandamiento en versión original pero en españa lo han traducido como el quinto mandamiento. El caso, es que esta miniserie de solo tres episodios se centra en un crimen extraño sucedido en Inglaterra cuando un profesor de Universidad homosexual y casi retirado de la vida queda fascinado de uno de sus estudiantes. Timothy Spall y Anne Reid otorgan el prestigio a esta producción de la BBC

Two big shows this week – first up is the reboot of Mother and Son (ABC/iview).

Next is a drama that the hosts expect to be amongst the best TV of the year. The Sixth Commandment stars Timothy Spall, Anne Reid and a what could surely be a BAFTA-winning performance from Eanna Hardwicke as the very creepy Ben. Don't. Miss. This. Show.Also on offer this week is Outback Farm (7mate/7plus) with narration by, wait for it, Jason Donovan. Finally, Andrew looks at a new drama about the opioid crises in the US, Painkiller (Netflix).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Quarterback, the new eight-episode docuseries from NFL Films and Omaha Productions, follows three of the biggest quarterbacks in the game throughout the 2022 season, giving an unprecedented look at what it takes for the Kansas City Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes, the Minnesota Vikings' Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons' Marcus Mariota to succeed when all eyes are on them. “Look — we've seen quarterbacks mic'd up for a game. We've certainly seen training camp. But we've never followed a quarterback throughout the entire season to see what he does Sunday night after a big win, after a brutal loss on a last-second field goal — what they do on Mondays and Tuesdays on their off days,” Hall of Fame quarterback and Quarterback executive producer Peyton Manning told Netflix. “Are they hanging out? Are they playing golf? Are they in the weight room and watching film and grinding for that next game? Which is the answer, by the way, not to give it away. There is no golf in the season.” https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/quarterback-nfl-docuseries-news

Bienvenue à Sanditon est basée sur le roman inachevé de Jane Austen intitulé sobrement Sanditon. Avec cette série créée par Andrew Davies en 2019, une histoire plus concluante est proposée puisque tout le contenu du roman est exploité dans le premier épisode. La suite est donc imaginée purement par Davies. L'intrigue se déroule dans la ville fictive de Sanditon, située sur la côte sud de l'Angleterre au XIXe siècle près de la mer. Comme dans les œuvres de Jane Austen, on y suit une jeune protagoniste d'un certain milieu bourgeois, Charlotte Heywood, interprétée par Rose Williams qui va tomber amoureuse… Pas de n'importe qui mais de Tom Parker (Kris Marshall), un entrepreneur visionnaire qui veut transformer Sanditon en une station balnéaire de luxe. RTL play proposera l'intégralité des trois saisons à partir du 14 avril jusqu'en mars 2024. https://youtu.be/WaJikar_XYo En fait, Sanditon n'aurait même pas dû connaître trois saisons. En effet, lors de la diffusion de la saison 1 sur ITV au Royaume-Uni avec des audiences mitigés, la chaîne avait arrêté les frais à la fin. Toutefois, sa diffusion américaine a tellement bien fonctionné et des fans passionnés se sont mobilisés pour montrer leur appréciation de la série. De ce fait, ce period drama a pu être sauvé et renouvelé par PBS, la chaîne américaine pour une saison 2 puis une troisième. La conclusion semble laisser des questions en suspens, mais comme l'histoire de base était inachevée, cela semble être un bon clin d'œil. Au fur et à mesure que Charlotte s'immerge dans la vie de Sanditon, elle va faire la rencontre de plusieurs personnages secondaires, tels qu'on les imagine dans un drame historique anglais. Une riche aristocrate âgée interprétée par Anne Reid, des aristocrates plus jeunes qui peuvent devenir des amis ou des ennemis jaloux. Mais également des serviteurs, pour soulever des questions sur la race et la classe sociale dans la société de l'époque. Il s'agit d'une histoire qui mêle légèreté et moments d'émotions, le tout enrobé de bon drame. Dans les thématiques de la romance et de politiques internes, Sanditon n'est pas sans rappeler Poldark, une petite ville et ses ambitions. [bs_show url="sanditon"] Les trois saisons sont disponibles sur RTL play dès le 14 avril.

Geoff Thompson joins me from the UK to talk about forgiveness. Geoff tells his story of abuse at the young age of 11 and how he learned to forgive the person who changed his life forever. Geoff says, " Forgiveness is not letting them off." "We are not offering them a get out of jail free card." We address revenge and the health ramifications of not forgiving. We suffer because we want to see justice, but he reminds us it's about compassion and love. Geoff Thompson is BAFTA -winning screenwriter, penning multi-award-winning films for luminaries such as Ray Winstone, Orlando Bloom and Anne Reid. He has written over forty books in the self-help genre and they have been published in 21 countries. Geoff is also among the worlds highest ranking self defense and martial arts instructors.

Maxine Peake is an actor and writer who first came to public attention in 1998 as Twinkle in the Victoria Wood sitcom Dinnerladies. She went on to play Veronica in Paul Abbott's series Shameless and later became known for playing real people, including the Hillsborough campaigner Anne Williams, and Sara Rowbotham, the former health worker who exposed the sexual abuse scandal in Rochdale in 2012. Maxine was born in Bolton and after a rocky start at college – she was asked to leave her performing arts course after just two weeks but stuck it out – she won a scholarship to study at RADA. Three months before she was due to graduate she auditioned for Victoria Wood and won her first television role starring alongside Wood, Julie Walters and Anne Reid. Victoria Wood advised her to take on a diverse range of roles in order to avoid being typecast as what Maxine calls the “fat, funny northerner”. She took the advice to heart and extended her range playing Myra Hindley, Martha Costello QC in the legal drama Silk and Hamlet in a critically acclaimed production at the Royal Exchange theatre in Manchester. Maxine has also written plays including Beryl: A Love Story on Two Wheels about Beryl Burton, a Yorkshire woman who dominated 1960s cycling and held the record for the men's 12-hour time trial for two years.

Trapeze audiobooks presents an extraordinary multi-voice tribute to one of Britain's most talented and most loved entertainers: Victoria Wood. This audiobook features narration from some of the extraordinary voices who worked with Victoria over her career: Susie Blake Richenda Carey Celia Imrie Duncan Preston Anne Reid Daniel Rigby Kate Robbins David Threlfall Julie Walters Jane Wymark With an introduction read by Jasper Rees and two recordings of Victoria Wood's classic Ballad of Barry and Freda. 'I was born with a warped sense of humour and when I was carried home from being born it was Coronation Day and so I was called Victoria but you are not supposed to know who wrote this anyway it is about time I unleashed my pent-up emotions in a bitter comment on the state of our society but it's not quite me so I think I shall write a heart-warming story with laughter behind the tears and tears behind the laughter which means hysterics to you Philistines...' From 'Pardon?' by Vicky Wood, Aged 14. Bury Grammar School (Girls) Magazine, 1967 In her passport Victoria Wood listed her occupation as 'entertainer' - and in stand-up and sketches, songs and sitcom, musicals and dramas, she became the greatest entertainer of the age. Those things that might have held her back - her lonely childhood, her crippling shyness and above all the disadvantage of being a woman in a male-run industry - she turned to her advantage to make extraordinary comedy about ordinary people living ordinary lives in ordinary bodies. She wasn't fond of the term, but Victoria Wood truly was a national treasure - and her loss is still keenly felt. Victoria had plenty of stories still to tell when she died in 2016, and one of those was her own autobiography. 'I will do it one day,' she told the author and journalist Jasper Rees. 'It would be about my childhood, about my first few years in showbusiness, which were really interesting and would make a really nice story.' That sadly never came to pass, so Victoria's estate has asked Jasper Rees, who interviewed her more than anyone else, to tell her extraordinary story in full. He has been granted complete and exclusive access to Victoria's rich archive of personal and professional material, and has conducted over 200 interviews with her family, friends and colleagues - among them Victoria's children, her sisters, her ex-husband Geoffrey Durham, Julie Walters, Celia Imrie, Dawn French, Anne Reid, Imelda Staunton and many more. What emerges is a portrait of a true pioneer who spoke to her audience like no one before or since.

This week I am joined by Kerry-Ann Reid-Brown.  In our conversation, Kerry-Ann and I discussed her  award winning podcast Carry on Friends: The Caribbean American Podcast, her podcast production company - Breadfruit media, and what it was like being one of the first Caribbean voices in this industry. She also shared the importance of support systems and the power of understanding that there is more than a single story to success. She encourages listeners to define their  unique pathway to success, to trust their voices, and tell their stories. www.yolanderobinson.com/episode44

Black Belt Magazine USA named him: “The most influential martial artist in the world since Bruce Lee”. In this conversation Geoff talks about how if you are open to receive information and wisdom from a higher source, abundance will come through you. If you get too caught up with ‘what's in it for me' you block that flow, break the ‘link' - see yourself as a postman delivering messages from a higher source. He says – ‘Get yourself out of the way and be a conduit for all the insights and wisdom you that come through you to share.

Actress Anne Reid is interviewed by Kirsty Young for Desert Island Discs. For a long time the bedrock of Anne Reid's successful career seemed to be her perfectly nuanced portrayal of a variety of northern mums - what she calls "skirt and jumper roles". Her first major role was playing Valerie Tatlock in Coronation Street - her character's funeral was watched by millions. In 2003 the skirt and the jumper came off when she and Daniel Craig starred in the highly acclaimed movie The Mother, about a frumpy looking woman in her late 60s who passionately seduces her daughter's boyfriend. Anne Reid has appeared in Victoria Wood's comedy series Dinnerladies and is currently playing Celia in BBC drama Last Tango in Halifax about two widowed septuagenarians finding love again. She says, "...inner talent gives you that ease. It's not a remarkable thing - just a knack that gives you a very nice life." Producer: Paula McGinley.
