Wanamaker was paid half as much as Lindsay on My Family
Zoe Wanamaker has revealed the full extent of the gender pay gap on BBC comedy My Family. The actress says she received less than half of co-star Robert Lindsay's wages on the series, which ran for 11 series from 2000 to 2011.
Chortle, 27th August 2019The fourth in this amiably anachronistic series set in ancient Rome begins with the humorously sudden death of a key character, crushed by a stone on the construction site of "Number One, The Forum" - the project of Robert Lindsay's smooth, prattling property developer. Marcus (Tom Rosenthal) makes a lame bid for compensation as Ryan Sampson's Grumio eats his way through his grief. But then Jason (Jonathan Pointing), the builder responsible for the accident, enters their lives.
David Stubbs, The Guardian, 9th April 2018The John Sullivan sitcom that was ended before it began
Following the end of his first big hit in the 1970s, Citizen Smith, Sullivan was scouting around for another project, and settled on a comedy about a failing football manager, known as Over The Moon. Brian Wilde was cast in the lead role, whilst director Ray Butt was also on board. The BBC was happy, and gave a six series first run the nod, after a successful pilot was made. Barely weeks later, though, the BBC promptly changed its mind.
Cult Box, 22nd November 2017Robert Lindsay: 'Monster' Weinstein blacklisted me
Actor Robert Lindsay has said he lost out on a role in Oscar-winning 1998 film Shakespeare in Love because Harvey Weinstein removed him after a previous confrontation.

Speaking about the allegations of sexual assault, Lindsay told 5 Live's Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake Weinstein was a "monster".
Sarah Brett and Nihal Arthanayake, BBC, 9th November 2017Bounty Hunters review: silly script & a lack of laughs
Rosie Perez can't save this odd-couple comedy-drama, co-starring (and co-written by) the overexposed Jack Whitehall.
Ellen E. Jones, The Guardian, 26th October 2017Review: Bounty Hunters, Sky 1
The Jack Whitehall quest for global domination continues with his new comedy-thriller in which he plays bookish boffin Barnaby who unwittingly gets sucked into the violent criminal underworld.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters review
Some of the issues are surely down to the establishing work the first episode has to do. So it's a good sign that after it airs you'll want to see what happens in part two. On that score, at least, job done.

Jack Whitehall coins another triumph.
Bernadette McNulty, i Newspaper, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters episode one was promising start
We'll see if Whitehall and Perez's combined forces of personality can sustain the already stretched story over another five episodes.
