Suranne Jones: Good Work, New Friends and Spider Necklaces

Season 5, Ep. 10

From soap starlet to BAFTA winner, Suranne's career seemingly knows no bounds. Across her rolls in Coronation Street, Vigil, Doctor Foster, Gentleman Jack amongst many others, Suranne has portrayed the full and varied gamut of female emotion and experience. And, she's no less engaging and passionate in real-life than she is on the stage or the telly. A loving mother, daughter and advocate for female power in the arts, Suranne is a brilliant way to close the series. She and Angela share loads in common and it's a brilliant chat.

 

But what is Suranne thankful for today? Angela finds out…
