Actress and writer Tracy-Ann Oberman is well known for her roles across theatre, radio and television, including Dr Who, Friday Night Dinner, It's a Sin and, of course, EastEnders. Most recently, she has taken on one of the most famous, and problematic, Shakespearean roles: as Shylock in The Merchant of Venice. Inspired by her great-grandmother, she has reimagined the role as a Jewish matriarch, and the play returns to London's West End this December. On the podcast, Katy Balls talks to Tracy about her obsession with the Roman Empire, what it was like spending a term in Moscow towards the end of perestroika, and her career from soap to Shakespeare, hero to villain. As she has found herself viewed as an unofficial spokesperson for the Jewish community, Tracy also talks openly about challenging the hate and abuse that many members of the community sadly receive. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Joining Kate this week is radio, theatre and television actress & star of It's A Sin; Tracy-Ann Oberman. Best known for her work in TV shows such as EastEnders, Friday Night Dinner and now Channel 4's brand new hit show.

In this episode, Tracy-Ann touches upon her battles on social media, making it her mission to cut out all forms of prejudice, particularly towards the Jewish communities such as the one she is so proud to be a part of. Tune in for a really fascinating listen with an incredible lady. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Spoiler Alert: She killed Dirty Den in Eastenders. She was in Big Train with Simon Pegg. She's Toast of London's desired lady friend. She adapted The Merchant of Venice and played Shylock. She's been trolled on Twitter for speaking about anti-Semitism. And we used to sneak onto the set of the Royle Family and sit in 'that' chair. She is, Tracy-Ann Oberman.
‘Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner’ was a famous 1967 film about an inter-racial marriage in the US. Filmed against the backdrop of race riots that took place the same year, it starred Sidney Poitier, Spencer Tracey, Katherine Hepburn and Katherine Houghton. Actor, Tracy-Ann Oberman has written a play called ‘That Dinner of 67’ looking at what happened during the making of the film. She talks to Andrea Catherwood about playing the iconic Ms Hepburn. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has deemed an Instagram campaign by online shopping firm Klarna, that ran in April and May, as ‘irresponsible’ for encouraging shoppers to use their ‘buy now, pay later’ service to cheer themselves up during the pandemic. The Swedish company has over 10 million customers in the UK, with an average age of 33. Its model allows payments to be staggered for products, with no fees or interest. Consequently, companies with similar models to Klarna, do not have to abide by Financial Conduct Authority rules, and thus customers are not protected and risk getting into debt. The Labour MP Stella Creasy is spearheading a campaign to make an amendment to the Financial Services Bill to better protect consumers. In her book ‘The Little Library Christmas’, Australian-born food writer Kate Young guides you through the Christmas period with festive food, edible gifts, reading recommendations and suggestions for Christmas films. She joins Andrea to talk about how to Cook the Perfect Jansson’s Temptation – a Swedish dish that she cooks every year as one of her Christmas rituals. The stereotypical Christmas scene is familiar - a big house, warm fireplace, and plenty of space for Father Christmas to leave the presents. But that's not the reality for most children. Which is why Hollie McNish wrote her poem 'You do not need a chimney', to reassure children living in flats and hostels that St Nick will still be able to get to them. Hollie joins us to read the poem, along with Sue Whitfield, who's had help from Homestart - the charity that will benefit from sales of the poem.

HELLO! We might have reached the bit in lockdown where we're all cutting our own hair with the wild abandonment of a drunk sheep shearer, but episode 5 is here as a tea break from all of that. And it's a good one. My conversation today is with Tracy-Ann Oberman (Friday Night Dinner, Toast Of London, Doctor Who), who is just a glorious person. So warm and interesting and she, correctly, takes her tea very strong.We spoke about the effects of lockdown on work in a really honest chat. She spoke about cancelled projects and adjusting to the new world, and how she's still managing to film a new comedy drama direct from her home. She's one of the hardest working actors out there, and three of her shows have landed all at once – Friday Night Dinner, After Life and Code 404. We speak about them all, plus Doctor Who in lockdown and a new Russell T Davies project.We reached the top 100 in the Apple Podcast charts last week for TV & Film, and that's all down to you for sharing and subscribing.

To say this gathering at Parliament Square organised by Campaign Against Antisemitism attracted a cross-section of society is an understatement. All the present to show their support for the Jewish community. The anxiety ahead of the poll was palpable in the crowd. This episode includes excerpts from rousing speeches made by TV Judge Robert Rinder and actor and writer Tracy-Ann Oberman. It seems the Jewish community has many friends. Listen to Pakistan’s Christian community in support of Israel, comedian Al Murray who has a personal history of opposing antisemitism, Jewish and Zionist activist Damon Lenszner and Jewish communist, Jonathan Silberman who stood in the 2019 General Election against David Lammy in Tottenham. Jonathan might be workers first but he also fights antisemitism on the left and supports Israel’s right to exist. Communism isn’t for most - but give him a listen. In calling himself a communist, he might just be more intellectually honest about himself - where other politicians aren’t. I make these podcasts voluntarily.

Hodl is the second daughter of Tevye, the poor dairyman whose family are at the heart of one of the world’s favourite musicals. She falls in love with Perchik, a student and revolutionary, and follows him into exile in Siberia. “When I got the phone call that I’d been offered [the part], I burst into tears,” says Kingston. Listen as she tells Judi Herman why, and much more about her research for the part, including reading Shalom Aleichem’s original stories on which the musical is based. The actor also discusses her Jewish upbringing; how she and fellow Jewish cast member Tracy-Ann Oberman (who plays Tevye’s wife, Golde) share insights with the rest of the cast; and the joy of rehearsals with Iranian-born actor and comic Omid Djalili in the role of Tevye.

Escandalizado por la forma en que trataban a los enfermos, fuertemente sedados y llenos de llagas por estar atados a la cama, Guttmann transformó radicalmente el tratamiento. Se deshizo de los antiguos equipos y de los sedantes e incluyó actividades deportivas y musicales en la rutina diaria de los pacientes. Aunque al principio sus colegas y superiores se opusieron, pronto demostró la efectividad de su método en el estado físico y emocional de los enfermos, que le trataban como un héroe. Al término de la guerra, Guttmann empieza a organizar competiciones deportivas en silla de ruedas a nivel nacional, sembrando el germen de los futuros Juegos Paralímpicos, cuya primera edición inauguró él mismo en 1960.
