An uncut version of Miriam Margolyes' chat with travel journalist, Greg Dickinson for their recording of The Telegraph's Postcards podcast, in which the world's great adventurers talk us through photographs from their favourite trips as global travel remains largely on hold.

Whether you first encountered Miriam Margolyes as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter films, or as Mrs Mingott in Martin Scorsese’s The Age of Innocence, or in any one of the hundreds of screen and stage roles that she’s had over the decades — you’ll probably have warmed to her. She’s like that.

And as she reveals to Greg Dickinson in this typically lively and forthright interview, travel has been one of the sustaining forces in both her life and her career. From an early memory of approaching Venice at dawn through to a recent, 10,000km road trip across Australia - she shares her highlights and makes an impassioned case for the lifelong value of travel.
