Ruth Wilson & Lenny Abrahamson: My Grandmother, Mrs Wilson.

Actor Ruth Wilson talks to director Lenny Abrahamson about her quasi-autobiographical BBC drama Mrs Wilson about her Grandparents. Bizarre, emotional and weirdly meta, her tale reads more like a John le Carré novel than a standard family drama. For fans of the drama it also brings a fresh postscript to the story in the form of a visit to MI6 HQ.

Thank you both so much for this wonderful interview.
What a great story with so much more to come hopefully?
I wonder if Mr Wilson was a 'Sigma' male? There is much study into this currently.

Outstanding!!! She is a treasure and the story and playing her grandmother is brilliant. The show lead me to believe he was at Somme and PTSD was the root of all the fantasy, but it seems that he wasn’t able to serve, so that must have been inserted to make the story grow another branch. I loved the show and the interview.
