My Week: Joanna Lumley, actress and campaigner
Monday
This summer I’ve been working on an Ian Fleming documentary for the BBC so I go to a studio to put the commentary over it. Having been a Bond girl, watching all the footage in a dark room really transports me back. In the evening I sit at home, my heart beginning to pound at the thought of the next day, when the High Court will deliver their verdict on whether the Gurkhas have the right to settle in Britain. My father fought alongside the Gurkhas in the Second World War and the fact that they are not allowed to call Britain home, despite having served our country, is shocking.
