Actor, author, and national treasure Miriam Margolyes sits down for a conversation about her book Full English, national identity, and why she feels a heavy sense of foreboding about modern Britain. Moving beyond her reputation for comedic outbursts, Margolyes offers a candid assessment of the UK's political landscape. She speaks openly about why she believes older generations have failed today's youth, the injustice of university debt, and why modern politicians lack the truth and vision of past leaders.
Margolyes also reflects on her own mortality, living with physical limitations at 85, her views on national accents and elocution, and why kindness remains her final message for an increasingly sour world.
