    1 thing that surprised John Hannah when filming new series in Benidorm (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Ever since he came to prominence in Four Weddings and a Funeral back in 1994, John Hannah hasn't stopped working. He's been in more than 70 films and over 40 TV shows, yet the prodigious performer puts his longevity down to chance, not talent. “I think I've been very lucky," the 64-year-old humbly believes. "I don't think I'm particularly talented or funny, but I think I have a gift for meeting talented and good people who have helped me along the way. For me that's been the best gift." He’s pro

    She's been hailed as the First Lady of British Musical Theatre, but Dame Elaine Paige is forced to admit that her days of being on stage are behind her now.

    Slow Horses star Kristin Scott Thomas on job that almost makes her quit acting (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

It's a misconception that baffles her as she arches her eyebrows and ponders: "Sometimes people have accused me of being frightening in my life and I go 'What are you talking about?
