Watch Harriet Walter Take On The Iron Lady In Upcoming Channel 4 Drama ‘Brian And Maggie’

Is the show just Thatcher being tied to the back of a truck and dragged down 60 miles of shitty roads?

Very interesting interview with Dame Harriet Walter!

Agreed that the series is incredibly Shakespearian.
