Writer and resident Gilbert & Sullivan expert Julia Sirmons joins to discuss Mike Leigh's 'Topsy-Turvy', a story of the aforementioned musical duo and the production of one of their most popular shows, 'The Mikado'. It's a film that feels at once like an outliler in Leigh's career up to that point (his first film not set in contemporary working-class London) and a pitch-perfect culmination of many of his career-long explorations. We begin with a discussion about the legacy of director Mike Leigh, his unusual method for drawing brilliant performances from his ensemble of some of the very best British actors, and his trademark style and narrative construction. Then, we unpack the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, exploring Topsy-Turvy's commitment to authenticity in its recreation of 19th century English theater culture, and the wise decision to focus the film on a particularly unstable moment in the long collaboration between the wordsmith and composer. Finally, we discuss the film's evocation of art and its production process, emphasizing the granular repetition of the work as well as the undergirding capitalist mechanics that necessitated performers assume a strong identity as a collective labor force.

Indie writer-director Nicole Holofcener's observational comedies eschew high-concept hooks in favor of burrowing deeply into a theme from many different angles. Her new YOU HURT MY FEELINGS spells out its intersecting thematic interests right there in the title — criticism, insecurity, and the need for validation — and reminded us of the multigenerational study in low self-esteem that is LOVELY & AMAZING. So we're revisiting Holofcener's prickly 2001 film to consider the many ways in which the Marks women, played by Brenda Blethyn, Catherine Keener, Emily Mortimer, and Raven Goodwin, reinforce each other's insecurities, and how Holofcener coaxes such light comedy out of such weighty themes. And in Feedback, a listener brings up a missing piece from our recent discussion of ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about LOVELY & AMAZING, YOU HURT MY FEELINGS, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net, or leaving a short voicemail at (773) 234-9730.

Our second week of International features keeps us in the English language but across the pond as we discuss Mike Leigh's award-winning film from 1996: “Secrets and Lies”. Adam and Ian dive DEEP into this film discussing everything from what it means to devise scripts, if Brenda Blethyn's performance is “too much”, and are all of these tangents necessary. The guys of 1001 by 1 go toe-to-toe on this film and ultimately come to a split decision (the first one since “Birdman”) – but who says “yay” and who says “nay”. Also, this week Adam recommends “The Mist” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Ian recommends “Vera Drake” (available on Starz). 0:00 – Intros/Feelin' Better 1:36 – “The Mitchells vs. the Machines” 5:19 – “Josie and the Pussycats” 8:55 – “Waterworld”/ “Fighting with my Family”/ “Wag the Dog” 11:56 – “Changing Lanes” 15:58 – “The Mist” 23:27 – “Vera Drake” 29:28 – “Secrets and Lies” Stats/History 38:27 – “Secrets and Lies” Plot/Thoughts 1:33:56 – Final Thoughts & Replacements

Writer-director, Charlie Peters, was raised in New York City before spending his high school years at Stonyhurst College in Lancashire, England, where he was classmates with the director Charles Sturridge and actor Edward Duke. Charlie then studied theater at the University of Connecticut and subsequently received a Schubert Fellowship to do graduate work in playwriting at Carnegie Mellon University here in Pittsburgh. While at CMU, his plays were acted by fellow students including Holly Hunter and Cherry Jones. After graduating, he returned to New York to work as a playwright. His plays have been produced at La Mama Experimental Theatre Club, Primary Stages, Playwrights Horizons, The Actors Theater of Louisville and The Edinburgh Festival. In 1978, Charlie was brought to Los Angeles by Columbia Pictures as part of a program looking for new writers, a program that turned out to be little more than a publicity stunt to distract from the bad PR Columbia had received as a result of its head, David Begelman, embezzling money from various actors. Charlie's first produced movie, Paternity, is based on a play he'd written while at CMU. It starred Burt Reynolds and was directed by David Steinberg. He's had a dozen other movies pr oduced including Blame It On Rio directed by Stanley Donen, Kiss Me Goodbye directed by Robert Mulligan, and Her Alibi, directed by Bruce Beresford. He's also directed two of his own: Passed Away with Bob Hoskins, Maureen Stapleton and Frances McDormand and Music From Another Room with Jude Law and Brenda Blethyn. Charlie has doctored over forty other produced movies and many more unproduced ones. Renee Zellweger won The Golden Bear Award at The Berlin Film Festival for the 2010 movie, My One and Only, that Charlie wrote. Hs most recent film was 5 Flights Up based on the novel by Jill Ciment, which starred no less than Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton.

Full disclosure: there were some audio issues throughout this episode so please forgive the occasional crackling sound as Sharon's home state was literally being attacked by tornadoes. It's time for a break so allow the fellas this rest from the list as they talk about the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice as directed by... you guessed it, Joe Wright.

This week, the guys delve into the Joe Wright period piece revolving around a very weighty accusation and the fallout which occurs as a result. That's right - they're talking about Atonement starring the great Keira Knightley.

This week we're queening out on the new queer rom-com, "Fire Island"!

Anyone who's been lucky enough to receive the Freedom of the City of London is, to a Freeman or Free Sister, asked if that means they are going to drive their sheep over London Bridge. This ancient medieval right was long abandoned but has made a cunning reappearance in recent years. Alan Titchmarsh has done it. It's annoying because he pops up doing just about everything that I might have fancied doing, (except the gardening – that's me not him). Sheep driving is a charitable event these days and that's how Alan got the gig. No better photo opportunity than Alan in a three piece herding thirty sheep over the bridge. The Clerk to the Court of the City of London warned me that Freeman and Free Sisters who whose sheep wander down Borough High Street without prior arrangement, may find themselves subject to the long arm of the law. I'm not a Free Radical, and since I know for certain that they don't serve loose leaf Earl Grey tea in any Metropolitan Police custody suite, I'm reluctant to take the risk and surrender my freedom to drink the tea of my choice. However strong my desire to become a sheep herder, I'll have to wait for a charitable opportunity. Since my cause is #Vision Foundation, I doubt that anyone will be fighting for me to lead the charge let alone bring up the rear of a flock of sheep. There is not a lot of call for sheep herders who may not be able to tell an ewe from a mini metro, let alone a ram. I fear I have missed the little Bo Peep boat. Only my imagination can propel me over that bridge. In it, I'm looking more like Alison Steadman's portrayal of Mrs. Bennet than Tess of the D'Urbervilles, which would have been my preference. Come to think of it, had Tess survived the tragedies of her love life, she might have ended up looking like Mrs. Bennet. I shouldn't want to be seen as a bleater, and setting aside the limitations of my imagination for a moment, a good cause could yet prove the opportunity I've been waiting for. I might have to take it, not in crinoline or cheesecloth, which does rather dash the swirl of romanticism I have about all those sheep. I'd have to opt for #gortex, a sensible pair of shoes and a tweed hat. I may be entering Brenda Blethyn territory now. Should anything go wrong, should one of those sheep push another of those sheep off the bridge and into the murky depths of the Thames, I will be well placed to get to the bottom of it. Not the river itself. I'm not planning on jumping in after the stricken mutton. No. like Brenda's portrayal of DCI Vera Cleves, I will not be making an actual leap, but a leap of faith, in order to solve the riddle of the lost sheep. Sheep herding may not have quite the level of romanticism others look for in a day out, but I might start a bucket list. Considering the amount of nerves that any sheep imported for a trot over London bridge may feel, I'd need a bucket. I'll add a shovel while I'm at it. That will be something for my charitable support team to do as they clear the path ahead of me, less sheep nerves get the better of me and I'm involved in a fatal accident.
Actor and filmmaker Michelle Nolden (Saving Hope, October Faction and currently CBC's Heartland) is also the artistic director of the Lakeshorts International Short Film Festival, which is marking its 10th anniversary with a special Grand River Shorts edition at the Dominion Telegraph Centre in Paris, Ontario, on November 12th. And she's here to talk about one of her very favourite movies: Mike Leigh's 1996 Palme d'Or winner Secrets and Lies, which paired Brenda Blethyn and Marianne Jean-Baptiste as long-lost relatives whose reconnection shakes up both of their lives. Your genial host Norm Wilner has a story for this one.
This week, your hosts start to round the bend on this list as they discuss Mike Leigh's award-winning directorial effort Secrets & Lies, a film that asks questions about motherhood, family and race... but the latter is surprisingly the least discussed. The guys also talk the terrific one-scene characters, Mike Leigh's writing style allowing for more accurate representation of people of colour, how dangerous it is to bottle all your feelings up and more!

The year is 1997 and the nominees are: 1. Brenda Blethyn - Secrets & Lies 2. Emily Watson - Breaking the Waves 3. Kristin Scott Thomas - The English Patient 4. Diane Keaton - Marvin's Room 5. Frances McDormand - Fargo - In 1997 Frances McDormand brought home her first Oscar (current the recipient of 3) for her iconic work as Marge Gunderson in Fargo. Since watching the movie for this podcast I can't stop speaking in the Minnesota accent (sorry to anyone who has to listen). McDormand definitely had some competition. Brenda Blethyn won the BAFTA and Golden Globe for Secrets & Lies. Emily Watson wow'd audiences with her breakthrough and theatrical screen debut in Breaking the Waves. Diane Keaton was singled out of the star studded cast in Marvin's Room playing a woman diagnosed with leukaemia. Kristin Scott Thomas was nominated for a sexy affair with Ralph Fiennes in The English Patient.

This week on the podcast, we're joined by film critic Robert Daniels (of 812filmreviews and a contributor to RogerEbert.com, NY Times, Vulture, and others) to break down an exceedingly strange double feature in our heroes' oeuvre! First up is Basic, the final film to date from John “Die Hard” McTiernan, which sees John Travolta return to the military-legal-thriller well after General's Daughter. Here, he plays (no shit) Tom Hardy, a sardonic crooked DEA agent roped into a murder investigation of his former hard-ass CO (Samuel L. Jackson, spitting ‘motherfucker's from beyond the grave). It's a wild, ropey ride with more twists than a loaf of challah. On the other side of the coin, we see what happens when Nicolas Cage ropes his actor friends into a warmed-over Tennessee Williams riff with his first (and only) director credit to date, the disastrous Sonny! James Franco pops up as a pouty gigolo-turned-army-vet returning home from the war to N'awlins and his brothel-madam mother (Brenda Blethyn), who just won't stop trying to get him to turn tricks again. Also, Cage shows up in a lace cravat for five minutes and shouts at Franco while trying to both kill him and suck his dick. Le cinema!

Our second week of International features keeps us in the English language but across the pond as we discuss Mike Leigh’s award-winning film from 1996: “Secrets and Lies”. Adam and Ian dive DEEP into this film discussing everything from what it means to devise scripts, if Brenda Blethyn’s performance is “too much”, and are all of these tangents necessary. The guys of 1001 by 1 go toe-to-toe on this film and ultimately come to a split decision (the first one since “Birdman”) – but who says “yay” and who says “nay”. Also, this week Adam recommends “The Mist” (available to rent on most major platforms) and Ian recommends “Vera Drake” (available on Starz). Want to suggest a film for us to review on the show?

What have the Greek myths ever done for us? Loads, it turns out, as writer, broadcaster, classicist and comedian Natalie Haynes explains to Mickey in this week’s podzine. They chat about how the Classics still resonate, why they’re for everyone, and how the women in Greek myth have been given short shrift by (relatively) modern interpreters. What a surprise, eh?We can all agree that panic attacks are fucking horrible, but they’re still quite often dismissed or lumped in with other mental health issues. Jen chats to mental health advocate Claire Eastham, who has had 371 panic attacks and so is perfectly placed to discuss why they happen and how to deal with them; something she also covers in her new book F**K I THINK I'M DYING.The answer to the weekly question Rated or Dated is plain as day, schweedhaaart, as the team watch Mike Leigh’s Secrets & Lies and take turns doing Brenda Blethyn impressions. Plus, there’s football chat and Alex Scott celebrations in Jenny Off The Blocks, and an exciting experiment, a Matlock car-park, and a need for women in the Bush Telegraph.

Secrets & Lies is one of director Mike Leigh's best movies. It deftly tackles issues of family, adoption, class and race. Brenda Blethyn and Marianne Jean-Baptiste received Oscar nominations for their performances. Ashley & Matt discuss this 1996 film as part of the latest edition of our Criterion Collection series.
This week my guest is the very talented and versatile Jimmy Akingbola who shows us his comedy chops in the new ITV hit from the U.K. Kate and Koji, which drops Tuesday on Britbox. Joining Akingbola in this sitcom that has taken Britain by storm is another gifted actor none other than Vera herself the brilliant Brenda Blethyn. Kate and Koji is a comedy that is centered on a relationship between Blethyn, who plays the grouchy, grudge-holding owner of a struggling seaside café, and Akingbola the very well-educated, out-of-place customer who sits in her empty greasy spoon establishment for hours. But there is more to this story than may meet the eye and that is because Koji is a doctor who left the oppression of his homeland to seek a better life in the U.K and who one day hopes to practice medicine again in his new home country. At the same time Kate who not a fan of foreigners but she sees a way where he might just be her ticket to turning her failing business around.So these mismatched pair see a way where they can help each other out despite the fact they are constantly trading barbs. Kate offers Koji a deal where he will give medical advice to help build up her customer base and in exchange, he will get food and drink for his medical advice. This is a wonderful ensemble show with a truly funny supporting cast that both Akingbola and Blethyn playoff in the way we have seen done in Cheers or other classic comedies. Kate and Koji are well written, well-acted, and well worth checking out on Britbox. https://www.britbox.com/us/Promotional consideration for Stream On with Jim Williams comes from Sling TV.

What happens when an accent choice derails an SVU where the initial crime is wrapped up in an open-and-shut murder at minute 19 and becomes a bizarre cold-case-cum-morality-play sans benefit of flashback? Well, the Randomizer selected “Persona” (Season 10, Episode 8), so Adam and Josh found out the hard way. For far from the first time in the run of Munch My Benson, a foreign-born actor plays fast and loose with a wavering accent. This time, the offender was two-time Oscar-nominee Brenda Blethyn, whose presence pulls a certain big gun down from the bench to settle a 34-year-old score. Along the way, the question as to whether this feminist text passes the Bechdel test, the greater concerns raised by Liv’s proclivity towards inappropriate actions, an exploration of just what “vile thing” meant in 1974-speak, and an alternate reality in which Benson DuBois chases down perps are all discussed.

Ann also chats to Theresa about her support for libraries, her love for Shetland and Fair Isle - even without amenities - and why, when she starts to write a novel, she never knows what will happen at the end. Her recommended book is Caz Frear’s - Shed no Tears, the third in her Cat Kinsella series.

We're receiving every Bennet in the country this week as we count down our Top 5 BSA's of "the Keira Knightley" version of "Pride & Prejudice"! We explore the nuances of period pieces that give Colin pause, Emma Thompson's important contributions to the script, so many sweaty bangs, the gruesome twosome of Kitty and Lyddie, and of course all of our favorite performances--from the subtle cattiness of Kelly Reilly to the batty brilliance of Brenda Blethyn. (To say nothing of Judi Dench!) Also, how do you pronounce the name Rosamund Pike? We also discuss Donald Sutherland's laughter through tears, a Pride & Prejudice bus tour, movie tropes we hate, the problem with ren faires, Miranda Richardson, Olivia Colman's best moments in Broadchurch, a bloodsucking Tilda Swinton, and one of the most un-difficult people to love.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=166L'AMORE VERO NON È SOLTANTO UN'EMOZIONE O UN FRUTTO DI CALCOLO di Luisa Cotta RamosinoQuando il ricco Mr. Bingley arriva a Meryton gli occhi di tutte le madri con figlie in età da marito si puntano su di lui, e in particolare quelli di Mrs. Bennet che di figlie ne ha cinque, con fragili prospettive matrimoniali. Mr. Bingly sembra molto interessato alla maggiore, Jane, mentre la vivace Elizabeth si scontra subito con Mr. Darcy, l'ombroso amico di lui. Naturalmente le cose non sono come sembrano e i destini di tutti sono destinati a complicarsi, complici parenti impiccioni, ufficiali poco raccomandabili e inaspettate proposte di matrimonio…Orgoglio e Pregiudizio conta detrattori in numero almeno pari agli estimatori, in quanto incolpevole progenitore di tanta letteratura rosa, a cui si potrebbe superficialmente apparentarlo per la trama. Di recente le avventure di Bridget Jones (di cui Orgoglio e Pregiudizio è il sottotesto dichiarato) ha rinverdito i fasti della Austen anche nella cosiddetta chick lit, la "letteratura per pollastrelle" che va di moda di qua e di là dall'Oceano, ma non mancano ponderosi studi di femministe che vedono nella scrittrice inglese un'osservatrice spietata della condizione femminile della sua epoca.A ben vedere, tuttavia, i romanzi di Jane Austen sono ben più che brillanti storie d'amore o studi sociologici. Più erede della tradizione razionalista inglese che l'aveva preceduta che parente del Romanticismo nascente, Jane Austen con Orgoglio e Pregiudizio ci offre uno splendido studio sul modo in cui gli esseri umani formano (o dovrebbero formare) le loro opinioni sui propri simili (il primo titolo dell'opera era, non a caso first impressions). Un'abilità, quella di interpretare correttamente l'agire e il carattere altrui, assolutamente indispensabile in una società come la sua in cui uomini e donne avevano poche opportunità per osservarsi e conoscersi prima di dover prendere una decisione sulla persona con cui trascorrere il resto della loro vita.UN FILM NON ALL'ALTEZZA DI UN LIBRO CAPOLAVOROProprio di questa leggerezza, del sottile ma costante umorismo (anche nei confronti dei suoi eroi e delle sue eroine), che tiene a bada ogni deriva sentimentale, si sente la mancanza in questo adattamento che rischia proprio di indulgere in quel sentimentalismo da cui la Austen si è sempre tenuta lontano modificando non tanto la fabula quando il senso profondo delle azioni e le dinamiche dei personaggi.È bene dirlo subito, quindi: per un appassionato di Jane Austen questo film (il primo per il cinema, a 65 anni da quello con Laurence Olivier e Greer Garson; la BBC, però, ne ha sfornato una splendida versione televisiva 10 anni fa, proprio quella che faceva impazzire Bridget Jones e le sue amiche) è una delusione, soprattutto se messo a confronto con lo splendido lavoro di adattamento fatto una decina di anni fa da Emma Thompson su Ragione e sentimento.Innanzitutto per gli interpreti principali. Keira Knigthley, giovane stella in ascesa del cinema britannico, a dispetto del nome vagamente austeniano non rende affatto giustizia alla vivacità e allo spirito di Lizzie Bennet, e Matthew MacFadyen (che pare sia stato un ottimo agente segreto nella serie inglese di successo Spooks) in questo adattamento ci presenta un Darcy preda della depressione più che dell'orgoglio.Molto meglio se la cavano i coprotagonisti e i comprimari interpretati da solidi professionisti come Judi Dench, Donald Sutherland e Brenda Blethyn (davvero brava a dare più di un tocco di tenerezza alla solitamente impossibile Mrs Bennet).UN FILM COMUNQUE DA VEDERE NONOSTANTE I DIFETTIIl problema principale, però, è che tutti in questo film sembrano sempre molto seri e pensierosi, addirittura sull'orlo del pianto (persino un personaggio, come il signor Bennet, del tutto alieno a questo tipo di emozioni) e anche la povera Lizzie Bennet, cui nel romanzo Jane Austen fa dire che sceglie solo di ricordare le cose belle per non rovinarsi la salute mentale, assomiglia fin troppo alla languorosa Marianne di Ragione e sentimento, con le sue camminate dolenti sotto i temporali e i suoi turbamenti perenni davanti a specchi e finestre. Tra l'altro, rispettosa quanto è giusto delle convenzioni (di cui sapeva apprezzare la razionalità), Jane Austen sarebbe inorridita sia di fronte alla prima dichiarazione di Darcy nel bel mezzo di un temporale, sia alla seconda con la sua protagonista in vestaglia.Più interessante la variazione operata nel tratteggiare il rapporto tra i signori Bennet, che per Austen è il perfetto esempio di uno degli errori di valutazione di cui si parlato all'inizio, un errore che ha messo vicino due persone differenti per interessi, inclinazioni e profondità.Gli autori del film hanno voluto invece colorare questo rapporto di maggiore tenerezza, addolcendo il carattere del signor Bennet e dando alla impossibile signora Bennet qualche possibilità in più esprimere le sue comprensibili preoccupazioni per il futuro delle sue figlie.In compenso si sono (volutamente, a quanto pare) persi per strada il bellissimo legame di complicità che univa le due maggiori sorelle Bennet, che è quello che al lettore permetteva di penetrare di più nel cuore di queste signorine così compite e indecifrabili (si capiscono perfettamente le incertezze di gentiluomini poco allenati all'osservazione).Fa dispiacere che di fronte a un genio discreto come quello di Jane Austen, i contemporanei sappiano scegliere solamente la via della comicità spinta (come è spesso quella di Bridget Jones) o del romanticismo esasperato, che mancano di cogliere uno dei messaggi fondamentali di Orgoglio e pregiudizio, che cioè, l'amore vero non è né soltanto un'emozione per quanto trascinante né un frutto di calcolo, per quanto esatto, ma un frutto spontaneo, che può nascere dall'incontro (o anche dallo scontro) tra due persone dotate di cervello, oltre che di anima, ma che può crescere e durare solo se fondato su un giudizio.

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism. Join Scott and Steven for their review of Little Voice from 1997, featuring stand out performances from Jane Horrocks, Michael Caine, Brenda Blethyn and Ewan Macgregor. The pathetically shy LV lives the life of a recluse listening to her late father's old records in her room and in the process driving her abusive, loud-mouthed mother, Mari Hoff, to distraction. At night, however, when her father's ghost visits, LV sings the songs of the great divas such as Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe, and Dame Shirley Bassey. One evening, LV is overheard by one of her mother's loathsome boyfriends, the disastrous dead-end talent scout Ray Say, who recognizes her innate talent and realizes this is his last big chance for the glittering prizes. Gambling everything, Ray Say forces LV to appear at a local run-down, seedy nightclub run by Mr. Boo. As preparations for the big event proceed apace LV meets the equally shy Billy, a pigeon-racing telephone engineer and they form a tentative, gentle friendship. The big night finally arrives and everything is in readiness, the band, the club, and even a big agent from London, but what about LV?

Michael Berkeley's guest this week is the filmmaker, writer and playwright Mike Leigh, who began his career in the theatre and with TV dramas such as 'Abigail's Party' and 'Nuts in May', and went to to produce a string of original, award-winning films including 'Life is Sweet', 'Career Girls', the Gilbert and Sullivan biopic 'Topsy Turvy', 'Naked', 'Secrets and Lies', 'Happy Go Lucky', 'Vera Drake', and most recently, 'Another Year'. Many of his films involve an element of improvisation, and Mike Leigh has launched the careers of an impressive array of distinguished British actors, including Alison Steadman. Brenda Blethyn, David Thewlis, Sally Hawkins, Liz Smith and Jane Horrocks. His play 'Ecstasy' is currently enjoying a West End revival. Mike Leigh's choices begin with two extracts by Gilbert and Sullivan. He starts with a comic duet from 'Ruddigore' (I once was a very abandoned person)l, and goes on to 'The World is but a broken toy' from 'Princess Ida', which he loves for its sentimental charm. Mike Leigh sees Mozart's 'Cosi fan tutte' as essentially a comic opera, and has selected the gorgeous trio 'Soave sia il vento' from Act I. Then comes another facet of comic opera - the Doll's Song from Act II of Offenbach's 'The Tales of Hoffmann', which he used as the background to the brothel scene in 'Topsy Turvy'. There's also the original 1928 recording of the Ballad of Mack the Knife from Weill/Brecht's 'Threepenny Opera', an extract from a film score by Shostakovich, Jeanne Moreau singing 'Le Tourbillon de la vie' from Truffaut's famous film 'Jules et Jim'; 'Blue in Green' from Miles Davis' 'Kind of Blue', and finally the Rondo from Beethoven's Violin Concerto (Mike Leigh used Beethoven to great effect in 'Abigail's Party').

Sue Lawley's castaway this week is the actress Brenda Blethyn. Brenda Blethyn is one of our most versatile and talented actresses with film credits that include Secrets and Lies, Little Voice, Saving Grace and, now, Pride and Prejudice and has won a host of awards for her film and stage work. But she fell into acting by default. Born Brenda Bottle, the youngest of nine children, she had no burning desire to take to the stage. She was working as a secretary for British Rail when a friend had to pull out of an amateur-dramatic production and Brenda stood in as a favour. She discovered she loved it and went on to become the first actress to rise through the ranks of the National Theatre to play leading roles. She came to the nation's attention in 1996 playing the careworn Cynthia Purley in Mike Leigh's Secrets and Lies. Brenda Blethyn won a Golden Globe, a BAFTA and a Best Actress award at Cannes for her portrayal of a neglected woman coming to terms with the fact that the daughter she had adopted at birth had come to find her - and was black. This autumn, Brenda appears as Mrs Bennet in a new film adaptation of Pride and Prejudice, and in On a Clear Day, which recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Brenda was awarded an OBE in 2003.[Taken from the original programme material for this archive edition of Desert Island Discs]Favourite track: Lay Me Low by John Tams with the Albion Band Book: A dictionary Luxury: Karaoke machine
