It is an institution that has turned out some of the UK’s most well-known actors. Stars of Bridgerton, Game of Thrones, Line of Duty, Downton Abbey and Happy Valley are among its graduates. Its successes go back decades – Skins, Misfits, This is England, Utopia – including every soap opera and plenty of sitcoms. There is barely a part of television or film left untouched by this 42-year-old organisation.
Television Workshop, one of the country’s most successful acting programmes, can be found in a small, unassuming room down a street of former industrial buildings in Nottingham.
