Ian McKellen to Join Judi Dench for TEA WITH JUDI DENCH on Sky Arts
Ian McKellen reflects on coming out and his role fighting Section 28 in the candid conversation.
Dame Judi Dench will be joined by her great friend Sir Ian McKellen for tea and a warm, candid conversation about their lives both on stage and off. From Shakespeare, stage fright and the insecurities of acting to the worldwide fame of the Lord of the Rings and James Bond movies, they reflect on success, failure and the importance of never taking either too seriously. Along the way Ian speaks movingly about coming out, his defining role in the fight against Section 28, and one of his greatest regrets; never sharing the truth about himself with his parents.
The premiere episode of Tea with Judi Dench featured Sir Kenneth Branagh, as the two swapped star-studded stories from their careers at her Surrey home, captivating audiences with its warmth, wit and insight.
Tea with Judi Dench will air 31 August on Sky Arts, Freeview, and streaming service NOW.
