Full Disclosure with James O'Brien

Description

Actor, writer and producer Sally Lindsay has always loved the spotlight. She made her TV debut aged 7 when her school choir performed their No.1 single There’s No One Quite Like Grandma on Top of the Pops. But it wasn’t until university that she realised she could turn her passion into a career. Since then, she’s starred in Phoenix Nights, Coronation Street, Scott & Bailey, Mount Pleasant and her latest project, The Madame Blanc Mysteries, where she's the writer, co-creator, producer and star.

Sally tells James how she landed her first TV role in The Royale Family, the struggles that working-class actors face and what she’s doing to tackle inequality in the industry.
