Alan Bennett's Talking Heads

Widely celebrated as Alan Bennett’s masterpieces, his multi-award-winning Talking Heads return to BBC One. Filmed during lockdown under social distancing guidelines, a new generation of Britain’s finest actors star in 10 of Bennett’s classic scripts, alongside two brand new Talking Heads penned by the acclaimed writer last year.

Episode one: A Lady Of Letters.

Irene Ruddock (Imelda Staunton) dashes off letters with her trusty fountain pen. When she’s not writing, she’s keeping an eye on the couple opposite and a little girl with bruises. But when the police come by, it’s Irene who’s in trouble.

Talking Heads is a London Theatre Company production for BBC One. All 12 Talking Heads will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer from the evening of Tuesday 23 June.
