Narrator

Holliday Grainger is a British actress known for her compelling performances in period drama and contemporary television. Born in Didsbury, Manchester, she began acting as a child and went on to study English Literature at the University of Leeds. Grainger first attracted wide attention in the BBC adaptation of Great Expectations and... has since appeared in The Borgias, Bonnie and Clyde, Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Jane Eyre. She starred as Detective Constable Rachel Carey in the BBC thriller Strike (based on J.K. Rowling's crime novels written as Robert Galbraith) and in the Channel 4 series Animals. On film, Grainger has appeared in Anna Karenina, Cinderella, The Finest Hours, and Tulip Fever. Her ability to move between classic literary adaptations and gritty contemporary drama demonstrates genuine range.

Her experience with period language — from Dickens to the Borgias — gives her ease with literary and historical material, while her contemporary roles show she is equally comfortable with modern settings and dialogue.
