Miriam Margolyes: Australia Unmasked

The utterly brilliant Margolyes sets out across just pre-pandemic Australia to discover what the "fair go" means there and bumps into the great, the good and the real. It's a testament to the structure of the series that it always feels a bit impulsive. Yes, clearly they would have got permissions and done scouting beforehand but Miriam seems to just wander around meeting real people. Her humanity is peerless, her self-awareness unmatched, and watching her just going around taking things in is beautiful. Much like the "planned/unplanned" vibe, where the trip ends is both accidental and somehow completely perfect. She gave it a fair go.
