WORTH WATCHING: Helena Bonham-Carter is ‘Nolly,’ ... (https://www.tvinsider.com/1126955/nolly-alice-and-jack-in-restless-dreams-quiet-on-set/)

"The Crown’s Helena Bonham-Carter is a ferocious delight as Nolly, a British soap-opera star whose termination ignites a firestorm."

Nolly
PBS
SERIES PREMIERE
9/8c
Helena Bonham-Carter (The Crown) is a riot as TV diva Noele “Nolly” Gordon, who for nearly 20 years was a fixture on TV as the star of the soap opera Crossroads. A delicious three-part Masterpiece drama, written by the inimitable Russell T. Davies (Doctor Who), depicts the furor when Nolly’s character of motel proprietor Meg Mortimer is written out of the show in 1981, effectively sacking its biggest star, who rules the set like a queen. (“I am making this show better if I have to haul it out of the grave, line by line,” she declares during a rehearsal.) Nolly won’t go out quietly, but what will the next act be for this actress of a certain age?

I read the various recaps of shows after watching them.  There are often details that I miss or don't quite understand and it's nice to find out what actually happened!  In one of the ones for "Nolly" that I was reading I found this quote:  "It's not live, but it's 'as live,' so don't make any mistakes.  We cannot afford to stop!"  All I could think of was DS!!

Her producer is gloating that it could be “bigger than [the Dallas cliffhanger] Who Shot J.R.?”, though nobody knows exactly how they’re writing off her beloved character of Meg Mortimer. “Do I die? Is it murder?” frets Nolly, taking solace in the company of campy TV host Larry Grayson (Mark Gatiss), who urges his dear and despondent friend towards the stage for her next act.

SUNDAY: The conclusion of Russell T Davies’ all-too-brief show-biz dramedy addresses the question that continues to hound soap-opera star Noele “Nolly” Gordon (the sublime Helena Bonham Carter) no matter where she goes or what role she plays: Why was she fired from the hit series Crossroads at the height of her and the show’s success in 1981? She’s now making a go of it on stage with intermittent success—her Mama Rose in Gypsy is not, however, one for the ages—but it takes a road tour to Bangkok, of all places, for Nolly to learn the truth, which leads to a confrontation back home and a possible comeback just when she needs it most.

I first saw her as Lady Jane Grey in '"Lady Jane."  I thought she was still a teenager; apparently she was or was going on 20.  And, of course, there has been so much, with such variety since then.
