Today, I\\u2019m joined by a legend of stage and screen. Britain\\u2019s naughtiest national treasure. It\\u2019s the award-winning actress, Miriam Margolyes.

Miriam\\u2019s movie roles have included the BAFTA award-winning Mrs Mingott in Martin Scorsese\\u2019s \\u2018The Age of Innocence\\u2019 and of course Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films. She\\u2019s appeared in a host of hugely popular TV shows from Blackadder and Miss Marple to more recently the Real Exotic Marigold Hotel and Call the Midwife. And she\\u2019s also a prolific travel documentarian filming in and around Australia, the US and Scotland to name a few. As a lifelong lover of Charles Dickens, she presented the successful BBC documentary series Dickens\\u2019 America and toured the world with her acclaimed one woman show \\u2018Dicken\\u2019s Women\\u2019 in which she played 23 characters based on or inspired by characters in Dickens\\u2019s novels. 

Speaking to me from her Australian home, Miriam was so engaging and generous with her time both before, after and during the interview - so grab a cuppa, settle in and enjoy listening to the very widely travelled and very entertaining Miriam Margolyes.
