Joining us this week is one of our favourite leading ladies – a powerhouse performer whose credits span everything from Benidorm, At Home with the Braithwaites, and William & Mary to Doc Martin, The Bletchley Circle, The Hardacres, and most recently, the BBC’s gripping crime drama This City Is Ours. Known for her fierce talent, straight-talking nature, and razor-sharp wit, it’s the brilliant Julie Graham! In this conversation, Julie reflects on the women who’ve shaped her life and the defining moments that have stayed with her throughout – from losing her mum at 18 to raising two daughters of her own. She shares the moment she fell in love with acting, the iconic performers who’ve inspired her along the way, and how her Liverpudlian “found family” offered the matriarchal support she’d long been seeking. Julie also opens up about the emotional decision to leave a difficult first marriage, the grief that followed, and the courage it took to rebuild her life from the ground up. As she turns 60, Julie is clear: she’s just getting started. With wisdom, humour, and a good dose of righteous rage, this is a conversation about legacy, reinvention, and stepping boldly into your next chapter. This Town Is Ours is streaming now on BBC iPlayer. Fill out our survey here to have a chance at winning a PS5!
