Talking Heads is a series of dramatic monologues written for BBC television by the acclaimed British playwright Alan Bennett. The two series were first broadcast in 1988 and 1998, respectively.
Talking Heads, is composed of six episodes per series, the plays deal with a variety of subjects, however, there are recurring themes, such as death, illness, guilt and isolation.
Each episode consists of an individual monologue and therefore in most episodes only one character appears. The wonderful actors, Julie Walters, Patricia Routledge and Thora Hird appear as different characters in both series.
The scripts are wonderful observations that are performed with perfection by the great cast of British acting talent, that will make you laugh and cry. Wonderful.
