Regarding the Barbara Cartland movie," 'cause we were saying somebody should do that, "the BBC apparently ma- made one in 2008 starring Anne Reid and David Warner.
Judith HolderHOST
I don't think it's streaming anywhere at the minute, but some of the other BBC Four bios, Kenneth Williams, Fanny Cradock, Hattie Jacques, are stream- are streaming, and they're all quite good." Yes, they are.
Jenny EclairHOST
Yes, they are.

Joe McGraw echoes that enthusiasm, explicitly stating that Cartland will be a gift of a role for a great actress.
speaker_1HOST
Now, the article also provides some context for how she has been depicted in the past, which I think is important.
speaker_2HOST
Yes, the previous adaptations.
speaker_1HOST
It notes that Cartland's life has been the subject of many documentaries over the years, and there was actually a 2008 BBC telemovie called In Love with Barbara that starred the actress Anne Reid.
speaker_2HOST
The evolution of Cartland's legacy on screen is fascinating because it mirrors our changing cultural appetite for truth.
speaker_1HOST
How so?
speaker_2HOST
They can only show us what she allowed to be reported.
Tansy Rayner RobertsHOST

I don't know if it's funnier either way.
Sharon HorganGUEST
So, I mean, there's kind of.
Sharon HorganGUEST
Everyone's dealing with it within the show, you know, and that was part of the fun of it and the challenge to see, you know, one of our characters is, I think she's 89 in the show, Anne Reid, who plays

TriciaHOST
You didn't have her on your list, or else I missed it, but Nurse Crane is played by Anne Reid.
PaddyHOST
I did- I didn't because even though I know she will t- come back, and I'm pretty sure you're gonna say that, I didn't think she had enough of an impact to kind of warrant being-
TriciaHOST
Yeah
PaddyHOST
... one of the mentionables, but.
TriciaHOST
Yeah, so I was putting her in because, A, she's Anne Reid, right? So [laughs]

You've got Damien Lewis, the actor, playing Damien Lewis, the actor, and setting himself up as being an egotistical prick, and then he disappears and never comes back.
Andrew MercadoHOST
Then you've got fabulous Anne Reid and Sheila Hancock, is it? Playing mother and daughter, this older woman who's writing novels full of graphic sex.
Andrew MercadoHOST
Look, it's just all over the place, like a dog's dinner.
Andrew MercadoHOST
And as for this teenage son, who, by the way, is being played by Cillian Murphy's real-life son.

Whereas, you know, Anne Reid, who's 91, who plays Charlotte Arbor, you know, she needs a bit more time just, you know, naturally.

And some actors like to spend longer prepping.

Hannah DunleavyHOST
Anne Reid is in this briefly as... as a 92-year-old writer who writes Source and her daughter is played by Dame Harriet Walter, that looks like it might be a good plot.
Hannah DunleavyHOST
How much any of these people are going to be just, they're in this one episode because they want to work with Sharon Horgan or whether they're actually long-running characters, I don't know.
