Roanne Bardsley on A Woman of Substance

Any show that puts Brenda Blethyn in a fabulous wig and has her talk about "reVenNnNnGE!" was always going to be a winner. A Woman of Substance has had enormous success on Channel 4 this year, and here its co-creator and co-lead-writer Roanne Bardsley discusses the process of adapting Barbara Taylor Bradford's epic novel, the joys of gloriously escapist telly, and her invaluable beginnings in soapland.

Host: Shaun Kitchener
