6. Filming with Meryl

Episode 6 of 6

Would an adaptation of Sir Walter Scott's letters make for a thrilling one-man show? Stars Nigel Planer. From 1989.

Nicholas Craig is the greatest actor in the world...

Although his publisher has upset him by cutting out a favourite passage from I, An Actor.

His working life has been nothing if not varied - from performing in a day centre in Wellingborough, to a film location in India with Meryl Streep - although really she would be better off playing Mistress Quickly in Leatherhead.

Starring Nigel Planer.
