Steve Coogan has revealed that one scene in his new drama Brian and Maggie ended up being cut from the show because he thought it was “too kind” to Margaret Thatcher.
In the Channel 4 drama, from Dear England and Sherwood writer James Graham, Coogan, 59, plays Brian Walden, the Labour MP turned TV interviewer who famously grilled the former prime minister in 1989, an encounter that triggered the downfall of the Iron Lady.
