Brenda Blethyn ON Singing Opera On A Boat With Anjelica Huston

This week, Edith and Michelle are in the presence of a British Television Royalty as they’re joined by the one-and-only Brenda Blethyn.
Brenda drops by to talk about her role in the gripping new BritBox drama A Woman of Substance, how she forged out her acting career through success in amateur dramatics, answers a special guest question from by Edith’s dad (a certified Vera superfan), and explains why sometimes you might think your performance has moved the audience to tears, but they're actually crying because they love your shoes.
