It’s true of any good actress. By the way, Guardian, could you stop calling actresses “actors”? Miriam Margolyes: Yes, I’m an actress! On my passport I’m an actress.

And as I've said before, it's very silly because acting is one profession where one's sex is relevant. If you are casting a male role you are almost always looking for a male actor, and a female actor for a female role. So it is practical and convenient to have words which distinguish between the two. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ladyfiona 2,607 Posted February 21, 2021 I know from following some Call The Midwife cast on Twitter that filming has been completed for S10. So I assume she has completed all the voice over work needed for that plus Christmas special. She may have done other voice over stuff as well for S11 depending how far they record.

RoverAndOut 4,746 Posted December 25, 2021 Just started the Call the Midwife Christmas special and she sounded rough as anything doing her spoken intro. Enough to notice, and enough to make me wonder if she'll be around to do it next Christmas. Merry Xmas, all. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
