Hermione Norris has spoken out about the lack of quality roles for older actresses.

The former Spooks actress said that women past the age of 40 aren’t represented well on current television shows and told The Radio Times:

“When you get to my age, the conversations women have – the preoccupations, the frustrations, the grief – are never represented.

“Sex and the City was insulting, women all clawing to their youth when there’s such ripe territory in honestly exploring women’s lives as they get older.”

Promoting the new series BBC1 sci-fi drama Outcasts, Hermoine added:

“Women’s magazines are designed to make you feel s****er and to buy a product. It’s tyrannical.”
