From the moment Judi Dench appeared as a teenager in the York Mystery Plays it was clear that acting would be her career. She first became a household name via television, thanks initially to a sitcom, A FINE ROMANCE, in which she played alongside the actor Michael Williams, whom she married in 1971. She has since made nine series of another sitcom, AS TIME GOES BY, as well as plays and classic serials such as CRANFORD. But it is her role as 'M' in six James Bond films that has gained her worldwide recognition. And Furthermore is, however, much more than a career record. Her marriage to Michael Williams, their daughter, and her impish sense of humour contribute vividly to her account of more than half a century as Britain's best-loved actress.
