Extra - E33 - Sarah Harding – Bletchley Circle Director
February 2014
This is the full length version* of our exclusive interview
with Sarah Harding, Director of the second two-part story
in series two of the hit ITV drama, The Bletchley Circle.
In this month’s Bletchley Park Podcast & the first part of
this EXTRA Sarah tells us about her mother, Dorothy
Harding (nee Thompson) who was a Wireless
Operator / Morse slip reader at Bletchley Park 1943-1945.
It was a happy coincidence that Sarah had that personal
connection to Bletchley Park when The Bletchley Circle
script landed on her desk.
Sarah has had a long and distinguished career directing
theatre, film & TV dramas including Coronation Street,
Queer as Folk and Agatha Christie’s Marple & Poirot,
to list just a few. We talk about her life behind the camera
& how the service given by Veterans such as her mother
led to her generation having the freedom to pursue such
careers.
Now, her mother has enjoyed the series & hopes
“she will smile, feel recognised and proud.”
then the new material starts at 15:48 into this episode.
