About this listen
From the moment Judi Dench appeared as a teenager in the York Mystery Plays it was clear that acting would be her career. Trained at London's Central School of Speech and Drama it was her performance in her 20s as Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli's memorable Old Vic production that turned her into a star. In the theatre since, she has played every classic role from Titania (three times, most recently in 2010) to Cleopatra.
She first became a household name via television, thanks initially to a sit-com, A Fine Romance, in which she played alongside the actor Michael Williams, whom she married in 1971.
She has since made eight series of another sit-com, As Time Goes By (with Geoffrey Palmer), as well as plays and classic serials, Middlemarch and Cranford.
In the cinema, her films have ranged from Ladies In Lavender, opposite Maggie Smith, through Notes on a Scandal with Cate Blanchett to Shakespeare in Love, in which she played Queen Elizabeth, a role that gained her a Hollywood Oscar. But it is her role as 'M' in six James Bond films, beginning with Goldeneye in 1995, that has gained her worldwide recognition. This book is, however, much more than a career record.

What made the experience of listening to And Furthermore the most enjoyable?
I am an immense fan of Dame Judi Dench and enjoyed the background information on the work she has done and indeed the choices she has made during her acting career.Even though Samantha Bond did an excellent job in reading the book I would have paid double to have Dame Judi Dench read it herself.How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
I found the story line quite technical in parts and referred to actors and actresses with whom I am not familiar. I appreciate in an audio book pictures and biographies of every actor is not really possible but even abbreviations used were sometimes hard to follow.What about Samantha Bond’s performance did you like?
Samantha Bond did an excellent job in reading the material and at times even accentuates certain words as Does Dame Judi Dench.If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Am I really a Dame?Any additional comments?
Interesting book, Enjoyed listening to it and learned a great deal from it. No regrets in purchasing it.Perhaps more for the actor than the average reader
