Another chance to hear actress Diana Quick in conversation with Clare English at last year's Borders Book Festival. Her most famous television role was as Julia Flyte in the 1980s adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited but lately she's also turned her attention to writing. In her family biography, A Tug on The Thread, she explores her heritage after having wondered for many years whether her family had a dark, hidden secret. As well as talking about her book she treats Clare and the audience to some fascinating stories of life as an up and coming young British actress in the 1960s and 70s.
