Harriet Walterâs transformation into Margaret Thatcher for a forthcoming Channel 4 drama has been revealed in a new trailer.
Walter, 74, known for her roles in Ted Lasso, Succession and Killing Eve, stars in Brian and Maggie, a two-part dramatisation of the last ever TV interview between Thatcher and politician-turned-journalist Brian Walden (Steve Coogan) in 1989.
Waldon was said to be Thatcherâs favourite interviewer, but this all changed after their final interview when it became one of the most infamous political TV showdowns of all time and culminated in the end of their friendship. They never spoke again.

In the first trailer for the two-parter, Walter embodies Thatcherâs mannerisms and helmet-style hairdo and can be seen wearing the prime ministerâs high-neck blouses, pearl necklaces and decorative brooches.
In one scene, Walterâs Thatcher tells Cooganâs Walden: âOne day, someone will come for me,â to which he replies: âI reckon thereâs no one you wouldnât be able to see off, Margaret.â

While Thatcherâs interview with Waldon had been planned for months, Walden brought up the topic in the interview, which made for a heated conversation.
Waldon famously delivered the line: âYou come over as being someone who one of your backbenchers said is slightly off her trolley, authoritarian, domineering, refusing to listen to anybody else â why? Why cannot you publicly project what you have just told me is your private character?â
Thatcher replied: âBrian, if anyoneâs coming over as domineering in this interview, itâs you.â
At the time, British political writer John Campbell observed that Waldenâs âjournalistic instinct and her lack of candour made for a devastating exposé, watched by three million people with their Sunday lunchâ.
Harriet Walter in new Channel 4 drama âBrian and Maggieâ (Channel 4 )Speaking ahead of the showâs launch, Walter admitted she had to âtravel a great distanceâ to embody Thatcher, but achieved it with the help of the showâs writer James Graham (Sherwood) and director Stephen Frears (A Very English Scandal).
Coogan said: âItâs great to be telling a story from the era of the sorely missed forensic interview â two giants of their time locking horns to determine the future of Britain. To act opposite Harriet Walter with a script by James Graham directed by Stephen Frears is a challenge of the very best kind.â
The actor said it was "like Christmas" every day working on the "Cheers" set.
