So to get two such roles in new TV series Dune: Prophecy was a delight for award winners Emily Watson and Olivia Williams.

"I met Olivia when we first got the parts, and we went to the National Portrait Gallery," recalls Emily, 57.

"Both of those were a route to power," continues Emily, who plays older sister Valya to Olivia's Tula Harkonnen in the sci-fi series, a prequel set 10,000 years before the events of the 2021 film Dune, which was based on Frank Herbert's novel of the same name.

"The received notion that we have, that it's a glorious era of English history, is entirely because the narrative was utterly controlled. And that's what these two women do.
