#001 - Joanna Lumley

Welcome to Tea with Twiggy! In this episode Twiggy has virtual tea with Joanna Lumley! Born in Kashmir, India, (her father was a major in the Gurkha Rifles), Joanna’s family returned to the UK after Indian independence. Joanna came to England as a young girl to complete her schooling at St Mary’s School in Sussex. An aspiring actress, she first came to fame as a model in London's swinging 1960s, where she was photographed by the greats, including the late Patrick Lichfield. She was designer Jean Muir's muse and became one of the top ten most-booked models of the 1960s. Her first TV appearance was in a bread advert, followed closely by her ‘big break’ on Coronation Street – she turned down Ken Barlow’s marriage proposal! It was The Avengers that brought Joanna (and her ‘Purdey bob’ hairdo) to the forefront of popular culture. But Joanna’s reinvention as a comic actress in her role as champagne-loving, chain-smoking Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous, from 1992-2005, cemented her role as one of the UK's best loved and most respected actresses. The show was formed into a hit film in 2016, featuring countless celebrity cameos. In 2008 Joanna became the public face of a campaign to provide Gurkha veterans with the right to settle in Britain. She is also a vegetarian and an active crusader for animal rights. Joanna has been a supporter of Survival International and the cause of indigenous rights, a patron of Tree Aid and a patron of the Pastoral and Environmental Network in the Horn of Africa. Other charities supported include Mind, ActionAid and SANE. She has won three BAFTA awards and a British Comedy Award.

#98 - British Actors: Best of Tea With Twiggy

In this laughter-filled episode, our host Cri brings together two celebrated actors, David Threlfall and Robert Lindsay. Both guests share not only their exceptional acting talent but also a warmth that makes them truly delightful to listen to. Key Highlights: The conversation takes an intimate turn as both actors reminisce about their fathers' professions—David's father being a master carpenter who built sets for the British film industry and later commercials, while Robert's dad was a skilled plumber turned builder. Both credit their sensible and grounded nature to their upbringing, particularly emphasizing how it shaped them into the people they are today. We get an insight into David’s unexpected catapult into fame at 16 years old when he became an overnight sensation due to his distinctive haircut which caught the eye of fashion journalists leading him straight onto international runways. While reminiscing about school experiences, we learn that Robert failed his 11 plus exam unintentionally while David passed hers. Also discussed is how life-changing events led to losing touch with old friends until decades later during reunions orchestrated by TV shows. For those interested in hearing each actor’s complete interview, simply scroll down Cri's podcast feed to find individual episodes featuring David Threlfall or Robert Lindsay respectively.
