#98 - British Actors: Best of Tea With Twiggy

In this laughter-filled episode, our host Cri brings together two celebrated actors, David Threlfall and Robert Lindsay. Both guests share not only their exceptional acting talent but also a warmth that makes them truly delightful to listen to. Key Highlights: The conversation takes an intimate turn as both actors reminisce about their fathers' professions—David's father being a master carpenter who built sets for the British film industry and later commercials, while Robert's dad was a skilled plumber turned builder.    Both credit their sensible and grounded nature to their upbringing, particularly emphasizing how it shaped them into the people they are today. We get an insight into David’s unexpected catapult into fame at 16 years old when he became an overnight sensation due to his distinctive haircut which caught the eye of fashion journalists leading him straight onto international runways. While reminiscing about school experiences, we learn that Robert failed his 11 plus exam unintentionally while David passed hers. Also discussed is how life-changing events led to losing touch with old friends until decades later during reunions orchestrated by TV shows.
