195: Bonnie Langford

Blank Podcast with Giles Paley-Phillips & Jim Daly

Bonnie Langford is an icon of British stage and screen. She came to prominence as a child star in the 1970s, when she had a notable role in the TV series Just William and went on to play companion Mel Bush in Doctor Who and Carmel Kazemi on EastEnders, for which she won the 2016 British Soap Award for Best Newcomer. She has also appeared in various musicals in the West End and on Broadway, including Peter Pan, Cats, The Pirates of Penzance and Chicago.

Bonnie chatted to Giles and Jim about being a child star and navigating that journey, being resilient, the secrets of what happens on set on a soap opera and plenty of animal analogies.
