Jodie Comer, Martin Freeman and More to Headline 'Talking Heads' Remake
As the entertainment world struggles to figure out what the new normal is during the coronavirus pandemic, the BBC greenlights a remake of Alan Bennett’s famous series of Talking Heads monologues with an all-star cast.
As you might have guessed from the title, the show is pretty much what it says on the tin - a series of 40-minute monologues featuring a single actor and based on a variety of recurring themes, such as death, illness, guilt and isolation. The original Talking Heads series first aired on BBC Television in 1988 and 1998. Ten of the original pieces will be remade for this outing, with the addition of two new ones written by Bennett himself last year.
And, wow, this cast.
