EP.284 - MAXINE PEAKE

Adam talks with English actor and writer Maxine Peake about being filmed by The South Banks Show when she was only 21, why method actors make her sad, why Diane Morgan impressed her so much at drama school, growing up in household of harsh bants, comfort eating and body image anxiety and whether every artist should feel a responsibility to speak out on political issues.
