Lucy Punch: "My list of failures? I did a film with Woody Allen"

After decades of playing posh, smug supporting roles, comic actor Punch finally has the opportunity to star as a posh, smug lead in her own BBC show, Amandaland. She tells Hannah Ewens about the drama involved with making the Motherland spin-off, her own approach to parenthood, and how she was gifted her big break by Woody Allen.

Jin Hao Li review

Adorably spiky, wonderfully absurd, well-crafted comedy.

Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy. Bridget Jones (Renée Zellweger)

Bridget Jones is a welcome reminder of a much more comfortable era

She worried about her drinking, smoking and weight - but there was never any doubt she would have a job and be able to pay her rent. It's a very different world for gen Z.
