Stephen Poliakoff Remembers - Perfect Strangers
Stephen Poliakoff looks back on his 2001 drama series Perfect Strangers. He discusses the stellar cast - Lyndsay Duncan, Matthew MacFadyen and Michael Gambon - and explains how he persuaded Michael not to go and shoot a cameo in a Mel Smith film on the first day of filming. Stephen also talks of unexpectedly getting the free run of Claridge's as a location, and of accidentally running into Margaret Thatcher mid filming
Stephen Poliakoff Remembers - Perfect Strangers airs on BBC Four at 10:00 PM, Wednesday 20 August. (Subtitles, new.)
