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.

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.
