Zoe Wannamaker |
|
- Lalla Waard, Hamlet, Prince of Denmark, TV, 1980. BBC radio and TV director Rodney Bennett wanted Wannamaker as Ophelia. The BBC suits (or committees ?) did not agree. They could not, however, argue about Derek Jacobi’s excellent prince of many layers.
- Amanda Burton, Peak Practice, TV, 1993-1995. Wannamaker and Barbara Flynn passed on Dr Beth Glover…. Perhaps feeling - knowing? - that they would not last the full nine year run. Burton next became the BBC’s top pathologist, Dr Sam Ryan, in Silent Witness for eight years… Although co-star Robert Lindsay might disagree, Zoë became the head of the My Family household in 2000 - for eleven years…!
