This week on A Night In with Sally Lindsay, Sally chats with her good friend Sue Holderness. Sue is best known as the unforgettable Marlene Boyce in Only Fools and Horses - a role that proved iconic - and, more recently, for starring alongside Sally as sharp-tongued Judith Lloyd-James in The Madame Blanc Mysteries.
Sue talks about her early days on stage and how she joined one of Britain’s most loved sitcoms. She explains how she got the role of Marlene, why she never auditioned for it, and how it changed her career.
She also shares what it was like behind-the-scenes of Only Fools and Horses, her close friendships with co-stars, including the late John Challis, and the joy of creating characters that audiences still love after all these years.
For the first time, Sue opens up about the death of her younger brother Simon and how this loss affected her and her family.
This episode is warm, funny and full of incredible stories. Sue talks about everything from near-death experiences on set to how self-defence skills she learned for a role once helped her get home safely. You’ll hear Sue Holderness as you’ve never heard her before.
Watch The Madame Blanc Mysteries on Channel 5.
