  • You Didn't Read Our LOCKDOWN UPDATE No.5
    'LOCKDOWN UPDATE' no.5 BBC & London Theatre Co. remaking Alan Bennett's Talking Heads with a stellar lockdown cast There can't be many amateur theatre companies that haven't produced their own series of Talking Heads shows... This week, filming began today on new productions of Alan Bennett’s critically acclaimed and multi-award-winning monologues, which first aired on BBC Television in 1988 and 1998. Ten of the original pieces will be re-made with the addition of two new ones written by Bennett last year. They are produced by Nicholas Hytner’s London Theatre Company and Kevin Loader, and will air in the coming months on BBC One. As the British public service broadcaster, the BBC has a key role to play in continuing to offer new programming for our audience at this time of national crisis. The contained nature of Bennett's monologues allowed the opportunity to tell timely and relevant stories while following the latest government guidelines on safe working practices during Covid-19. Alan Bennett told Sardines: "In such difficult circumstances, that the BBC should choose to remount both series of Talking Heads, and produce two entirely new ones, is a comfort and a huge compliment. I hope a new generation of actors will get and give as much pleasure as we did twenty and thirty years ago." The televised monologues will star the cream of today's acting establishment such as Jodie Comer (Killing Eve), Martin Freeman (Sherlock Holmes), Tamsin Greig (Episodes), Maxine Peake (Silk) and Imelda Staunton (Flesh and Blood) to name just five.
