Miriam Margolyes Remembers... Cold Comfort Farm

National treasure Miriam Margoyles looks back on her role in the BBC's 1995 adaptation of one of the much-loved jewels of 20th Century British literature, Stella Gibbons's 1930s comic classic, Cold Comfort Farm.

Directed by John Schlesinger, who won an Oscar for Midnight Cowboy, the drama brought together an impressive ensemble cast that included Ian McKellen, Eileen Atkins, Joanna Lumley, Stephen Fry and two up-and-coming stars, Kate Beckinsale and Rufus Sewell.

Having only watched the drama for the first time recently, Miriam delivers a typically forthright assessment on how she thinks it turned out, critiques the performances of her fellow cast members and shares some fond memories of the overall filming experience.
