Lynda La Plante interviewed by Denise Mina

Recorded live at HIF’s Theakston Old Peculier Crime Writing Festival 2022

A living legend of crime writing will take to the Theakston’s stage this July as Lynda La Plante talks about her extraordinary life and writing career.

After graduating as an actor from RADA alongside Anthony Hopkins, John Hurt and Ian McShane, she carved out a successful career on stage and the small screen.

It was while filming The Gentle Touch that she turned her hand to writing with phenomenal results. The result was Widows, a huge TV hit in the early 80s. She then turned her hand to novels, writing international bestsellers, before creating a show for ITV, the iconic and ground-breaking Prime Suspect. It set a path for unparalleled success in books and TV.

Lynda La Plante is interviewed by programme chair Denise Mina.

Podcast music by Joseph McDade.
