Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is currently one of Netflix’s most-viewed TV shows ever, and with good reason. It’s a beautiful show thanks to its incredible actors and actresses like Keir Charles. Charles is a British actor who plays the fan-favorite Lord Ledger in the Netflix series. Lord Ledger is the grandfather to the Bridgerton children who take center stage in the hit series Bridgerton. Charles is captivating on screen but is much more than a one-hit wonder as he has been acting for decades.

In the first episode of 90s-set ITV drama Quiz, a group of men are devising a game show. Provisionally titled Cash Mountain, it involves players doubling their money with each correct answer on their way to the summit. Concerned that the concept’s too old-fashioned, a Birmingham accent comically suggests, “We could set it on an actual mountain. Like, a little one? Wales?”
Cash Mountain didn’t go down the Welsh Outward Bound route but stuck to its questions-and-cash simplicity to become global smash hit Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? That Brummie voice belonged to Steve Knight (played in Quiz by Keir Charles). He was one of the three creators credited with devising the quiz show that was later struck by the “Coughing Major” cheating scandal so brilliantly dramatised in James Graham’s play and TV adaptation.
In the nineties, Knight and his writing partner Mike Whitehill worked at TV production company Celador.

Elizabeth Healey has an outstanding career in both TV and film and more recently a role in the blockbuster Doctor Strange (2016). It was a pleasure to speak to her about her career so far, including the romantic drama Across The River, which she also co-wrote.
What first attracted you to the role of Emma in Across the River?
Well the unique thing about Across The River is that it was completely improvised – I had done some improvisation before but nothing on this scale so that was definitely a draw. It is very rare you get this kind of opportunity and it was one I couldn’t let slip by. And I found I really loved working this way – it was a totally collaborative process from beginning to end and was a fabulously creative project to be involved in.
As a character I think Emma reminds me of many women today – she works very hard,...
