Judi Dench stunning
Judi Dench is stunning as Mrs Henderson in this delicious piece about the role of the Windmill Theatre during the Second World War. Bob Hoskins turns in yet another brilliant performance, and Will Young shows that singing is not his only talent

Boring, very very boring, and - to be honest - a waste of electricity.... -

He tells Digital Spy, "After I did Mrs Henderson and had Read more
