Dame Judi Dench and Jay Blades embark on ‘emotional’ journey for new documentary: ‘Some scenes don’t need words’

Dame Judi Dench and Jay Blades became pals three years ago after a chance meeting. Now, their bond has grown even further...

Jay Blades is best known for hosting The Repair Shop (Credit: BBC / Youtube) Although the pals seem to get along like a house on fire, they didn’t come up with the concept of the show on their own – in fact, Judi’s daughter Finty did. Travelling together across the UK, exploring London and Stratford-upon-Avon, Judi and Jay unveil anecdotes about the path to their incredible successes, introducing each other to special people, past times and places that have influenced who they are. From Hackney’s Ridley Road Market to The Old Vic theatre, Judi and Jay head to some of London’s most memorable places, showcasing the city’s vast culture and diverse neighbourhoods.
