Anna Maxwell Martin, pot-roasted leg of lamb and a margarita

Born in Yorkshire, Anna Maxwell Martin is an actress celebrated for her versatility across theatre, television and film. After studying history at Liverpool University, she trained at LAMDA, launching her career at the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her breakthrough role came in 2005, when she portrayed Esther Summerson in the BBC adaptation of Bleak House, earning her the Bafta TV Award for Best Actress. Since then, Anna has delighted audiences playing Julia in sitcom Motherland, and the unsavoury DCS Patricia Carmichael in Line of Duty. Anna’s new show Ludwig, also starring David Mitchell, is on BBC iPlayer now. Nick pours a round of margaritas, while Angela concentrates her efforts on a hearty pot-roasted lamb with flageolet beans. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Côte des Roses organic rosé Anna Maxwell Martin is a tonic. Her sense of humour is infectious and Nick and Angela enjoy comedic tales about cooking for her teenage daughters, meeting Tom Cruise and her absolute aversion to sandwiches.
