Amanda Barrie in Conversation With Hilary Bonner

Amanda Barrie is in conversation with Hilary Bonner, the co-author of I'm Still Here - My 90 Years.

The iconic Cleo in Carry on Cleo and the much-loved Alma in Coronation Street, Amanda talks about being born above her grandfather's tailor's shop in Ashton Under Lyne during a ferocious thunderstorm.

Amanda reveals her journey through life has been a stormy one - from her expulsion from two schools and running away from home aged 13 to be in a Soho chorus, to rising to star in the West End, to Carry on Cabby and Carry on Cleo, to Corrie, Bad Girls and so much more.

She explores the struggle to come to terms with who she was, a young gay woman in the 1950s and 1960s.

She explains why she kept that side of her a secret for most of her adult life.

Amanda and Hilary, her novelist wife, discuss the full story of how they met, fell in love, overcame all manner of difficulties, and built a new life together.
