Sheila Hancock
Anita Rani meets Dame Sheila Hancock to hear her festive memories, from childhood as an evacuee to stage and screen success, married life and her connection to the Quaker faith.
Anita Rani meets up with actress Dame Sheila Hancock to discover what Christmas has meant to her throughout her life. Sheila shares memories of childhood spent living above a London pub and as a wartime evacuee, and reflects on a groundbreaking career that has taken her from sitcom success to stage, screen and radio stardom. She talks candidly about Christmases with family, friends and her late husband, actor John Thaw, and in the calm surroundings of her meeting house, she reveals how she lost her faith, only to rediscover comfort and purpose in life as a Quaker.
