No wonder Anderson was so apprehensive about playing Maitlis - she’s one of the most recognisable, respected and influential media figures in Britain
It must be daunting for any actor to play a real person. Their performance must be accurate, but never simply an impression.“It was just too scary to play Emily Maitlis, because she’s still living, because she’s so formidable, because people know her so well,” Andersonactor was so intimidated by the idea that she initially turned down the role. “I thought I probably do have to do it because I’m so scared of it,” she explained of her change of heart.
No wonder Anderson was so apprehensive to play Maitlis. She’s a broadcasting legend and one of the most recognisable, respected and influential media figures in Britain. Doing a bad job has the potential to be career damaging – even for an actor as brilliant as Anderson – and portraying a public figure as revered as Maitlis has its own difficulties.
The nation loves Maitlis because she speaks her mind. Even when shackled by the BBC’s impartiality rules, the newsreader regularly shared her opinion of the government and its ministers. In 2020 she openly criticisedafter he was caught breaking lockdown rules. “Dominic Cummings broke the rules. The country can see that and it’s shocked the government cannot,” she said in her opening monologue.
She makes politics – and the people at the centre of it, who love to obfuscate and filibuster – easier to understand and encourages critical thinking. Now co-host of podcast, Maitlis is calmly ruthless in exposing hypocrisy and expertly analyses the stories behind the headlines – in her words, she’s “less buttoned up, a bit more unvarnished”.Maitlis is one of the few broadcasters trust implicitly: she’s forthright, no nonsense and not afraid to take those in power to task.
