Miriam Margolyes talks to Graham Norton about her new book Miriam’s Full English, her portrait of Britain, with an open audience Q&A.
Miriam Margolyes, Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, talks about her new book with Graham Norton at the Royal Albert Hall in South Kensington on Sunday 29 November 2026.
Margolyes was born in Oxford in 1941 and read English at Newnham College, Cambridge, where she joined Footlights.
She won a BAFTA for her role in The Age of Innocence and played Flora Finching in Little Dorrit. Her BBC travel series have taken her across the world.
Three bestselling memoirs followed, and she was appointed OBE in 2002.
Miriam’s Full English turns her documentary eye on Britain itself, Scotland, Wales and Ireland included. The title is her image for the country: very different things piled on one plate. The afternoon runs on stories from the book and a Q&A in which no question is off limits.
Norton, her host, presents The Graham Norton Show on BBC One and has published several novels. The Royal Albert Hall is the only date on the tour that pairs them.
