The Sweary Woman of Whitehall has entered the building...
Joanna Scanlan, BAFTA-winning star of After Love and everyone’s favourite terror of The Thick of It’s corridors, joins the BIFA Podcast to talk about getting into acting at 35, surviving Cambridge and Footlights, and holding on to a proudly “punk” spirit in an industry that often prefers things neat and tidy.
