Julie Graham and the Queens of Mystery

From Standing Room Only, 12:45 pm on 12 December 2021

British actress Julie Graham - star of many TV shows including The Bletchley Circle, William & Mary and Shetland - was quick to produce a drama filmed on smartphones during the UK's extended lockdown last year.

It's called Dun Breedin and it deals with something Julie cares deeply about - mid-life women and the extra challenges they face, including dealing with ungrateful children!

Julie's also about to star in a second series of the Queens of Mystery whodunnits, where three crime-writing aunts help their police officer niece Matilda to solve tricky cases.

And in her spare time she's recently wrapped up filming a seventh series of another hugely popular crime show, Shetland, in Scotland.

Lynn Freeman first talked to Julie Graham about Queens of Mystery, a show that offered actresses like her in their 50s some rare good roles.

Series One of Queens of Mystery is streaming now on Acorn TV and Series Two isn't far away.
