Sian Phillips talked to Dermot and Natasha
From Under Milk Wood, to her unforgettable role as Livia in the TV version of I Claudius, the actress Sian Phillips has a stage presence that's hard to beat.

Once married to the actor Peter O'Toole, she's a former child actress and even did a stint as a BBC announcer.

Now 70 years old, she's starring in a new play, The Unexpected Man, with the actor Peter Bowles.

The two-hander is written by Yasmina Reza, whose previous play Art is a long-running West End hit.

  • We found out more just after 9am this morning, when Sian Phillips came into the Breakfast studio to talk live to Dermot and Natasha.
