Lindsay's not for turning

This is the first picture of Rome actress Lindsay Duncan as the Iron Lady in the forthcoming BBC2 drama Margaret, which will tell the story of Thatcher's final days in power. Duncan is the latest in a long line of actresses who have portrayed Thatcher - the most recent came in May when Andrea Riseborough was seen as a young Thatcher in BBC4's The Long Walk to Finchley. Monkey can't wait to see a picture of Ian McDiarmid, who played Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars, as Thatcher's husband Denis.
