Nolly | New series | Watch On Demand

Academy Award-nominee Helena Bonham Carter (The Crown, The King’s Speech, Harry Potter) stars in NOLLY, a three-part drama series which explores the all-powerful reign, and fall from grace, of the inimitable Noele Gordon – TV legend and Queen of the Midlands, the darling of the establishment, until it turned on her and betrayed her. From BAFTA-winning writer Russell T Davies, NOLLY is a bold exploration of how the establishment turns on women who refuse to play by the rules, the women it cannot understand and the women it fears. A legend in her own lifetime, Noele Gordon is the eponymous heroine portrayed by Helena Bonham Carter, the flame-haired widow Meg Richardson in the long-running soap opera Crossroads. One of the most famous people in Britain, Nolly was at the height of the show’s success and the peak of her fame, when she was axed without ceremony, without warning and with no explanation, and found herself thrown out of the show that was her life for over 18 years.
