Stephen Mangan: "I've got to do the thing I really want to secretly do. And never had the guts to do"

In this episode of 'The Lulu Podcast: Turning Points' Lulu chats to actor, comedian, author and presenter Stephen Mangan. Stephen talks to Lulu about the big turning points in his life - losing his mother in his early twenties; leaving a career in law to pursue drama; getting his big TV breaks with Adrian Mole, Alan Partridge and Green Wing; and becoming an author later in life. He talks about people arguing with him in the street over his part in BBC's The Split; his love of theatre and perfecting his art; working with Nicola Walker and Erin Doherty; and why he hates knowing what he's doing in 12 months time.

Om Podcasten

The UK's greatest female rock n roll legend, Lulu, has been in the music industry for over 60 years. She's seen people come, she's seen people go. She's seen people make it, break it, fake it. She has seen them rise, and she has seen them fall.  And all the while she's had a curiosity - what is it that makes people tick? How have they got to where they are? Where does their motivation come from? Where do they get their resilience? When life throws curveballs, how have they overcome them? What are their turning points? In this brand-new project, Lulu sits down with guests to discuss the pivotal moments in their lives that have shaped them into the people they are today.
