Anne-Marie Duff and Simon Bird

What a thrill to have these two as my guests. Not only do I love
their work but they are both smart, funny people who love their
culture and love to talk about it. Perfect for SAGL.


Anne Marie Duff can be seen on BBC iPlayer at the moment starring
in The Salisbury Poisonings, a brilliantly gripping
reconstruction drama about the Novichok incident involving
Russian spies in the west country cathedral city. She’s also in a
Royal Court Theatre production that evolved during lockdown
called My White Best Friend.


She was full of recommendations, bursting to share her excitement
about what she’s been watching including Pawel Pawlikowski films:
My Summer of Love, Ida and Cold War.


Simon Bird, known for The In Betweeners and as Adam in Friday
Night Dinner, well he’s a director now. And he is likely to be a
very good one for a few years to come. His wistful comedy Days of
the Bagnold Summer is available everywhere, including BFI Player,
Curzon Home Cinema, Amazon and Sky Store. And season six of
Friday Night Dinner is a must. He discusses discovering the docs
of Molly Dineen.
