Louis Theroux INTERVIEWS
Dame Judi Dench on her exceptional life and career
FACTUAL 9.15PM, BBC2
This week, in the second interview of his series, lucky Louis gets to know one of Britain’s finestever actors, Dame Judi Dench. The stage and screen legend, 87, invites Louis to her Surrey home, where they discuss her 60-year career, her family, her debilitating eye condition and her reluctance to retire. They also spend time with her daughter, Finty, and grandson, Sam, film a Tiktok together, and Louis is a guest of honour at Judi’s autobiographical show,
I Remember It Well, in London’s West End. With her warmth and sense of humour, it’s little wonder Dame Judi is a (reluctant) ‘national treasure’.
