From breasts to Brexit: What happened when Esther McCarthy met Miriam Margolyes

Miriam Margolyes: pulls no punches on sex, religion and Ireland in our Weekend interview.
“OOH, yes, they are impressive,” Miriam Margolyes says, adjusting the angle and peering into her camera as I hoist my breasts up so she can inspect them.
I’ve just ‘met’ her on WhatsApp video call. She’s in the passenger seat of her car on her way to Bradford, driving through tunnel after tunnel — not ideal for an interview as we both keep freezing on each other, and, as every word out of her mouth is interview gold, I don’t want to miss a single one.
