The Curragh Racecourse celebrated the incredible Joanna Lumley's 70th birthday by naming a race after her. The Joanna Lumley Birthday Celebration Handicap took place today with the lady herself in attendance. And determined not to miss the chance to talk one of the world's favorite actors, we were there too!
It took nearly 4 hours to compile the list of everything she's starred in, starting with Emergency Ward 10 back in 1957 when Joanna was just 11 years old.
She chatted to Phil about a career that covers almost 6 decades, how honored she was to have the race named after her and, of course, Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie.
