00:00:30,430 --> 00:00:32,319
JUDI: Hello, Joan.
- JOAN: Hello, darling.
3
00:00:33,110 --> 00:00:35,317
Do you want me to sit here?
- MAN: Yes, please.
4
00:00:35,390 --> 00:00:38,121
INDISTINCT CHATTER
5
00:00:39,310 --> 00:00:41,517
God almighty, leave me alone!
6
00:00:41,550 --> 00:00:43,393
Would you mind taking
a little step to your left...?
7
00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:44,670
To my left?
- To you left.
8
00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:47,031
I'm Mark, pleased to meet you
- Hello.
9
00:00:47,070 --> 00:00:49,801
I think we'd better do it
because we're taking root.
10
00:00:49,830 --> 00:00:52,959
MARK: And then we're gonna do some
where you're sort of...
11
00:00:52,990 --> 00:00:55,231
JOAN:
Yes, we look awfully hot.
12
00:00:57,990 --> 00:00:59,719
EILEEN:
Oh that's an awful angle, Mark.
13
00:00:59,750 --> 00:01:01,240
It really is.
14
00:01:01,630 --> 00:01:04,076
It's not fair to old ladies
- THEY LAUGH
15
00:01:04,110 --> 00:01:06,351
MARK: You look wonderful.
- JOAN: No, why are you doing this?
16
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:07,516
EILEEN:
Why are you doing that?
17
00:01:08,270 --> 00:01:09,556
You've got to start somewhere.
18
00:01:10,630 --> 00:01:11,995
Is it your first day?
19
00:01:13,510 --> 00:01:14,875
You've never done it before?
20
00:01:14,910 --> 00:01:17,561
I don't think so, so give him a break.
21
00:01:18,990 --> 00:01:20,560
Look, see how Jude does it?
22
00:01:21,190 --> 00:01:22,191
Mum?
23
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:24,679
MAGGIE: So beautifully
- JUDI: I do that or that.
24
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:26,360
EILEEN:
You're not my friend, Mark.
25
00:01:26,390 --> 00:01:28,199
I'm never going to a speak to you again
26
00:01:28,230 --> 00:01:30,039
I never want to see you again.
27
00:01:30,070 --> 00:01:31,913
Oh no don't be grumpy
28
00:01:31,950 --> 00:01:33,111
THEY LAUGH
29
00:01:33,150 --> 00:01:35,073
MAGGIE:
She's not being grumpy, she's being starry.
30
00:01:35,950 --> 00:01:37,475
Are we ready to go?
31
00:01:37,510 --> 00:01:39,592
I think we've been
- We've been.
32
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:41,075
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
33
00:01:43,510 --> 00:01:44,557
MAN:
Scene, mark.
34
00:01:44,590 --> 00:01:47,673
Now, if anybody wants
to lie down, ladies.
35
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:50,476
I'm here, darling
36
00:01:51,270 --> 00:01:52,681
How far away?
37
00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:54,155
Not far away
38
00:01:54,190 --> 00:01:55,919
Round the corner?
- Just round the corner.
39
00:01:55,950 --> 00:01:57,031
Alright
40
00:01:57,070 --> 00:02:01,553
INTERVIEWER: I want to start with when
you first set eyes upon each other.
41
00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:03,959
Judi, can we start with you?
- Oh, God.
42
00:02:04,790 --> 00:02:08,033
Yes but... has anyone got a memory?
43
00:02:08,070 --> 00:02:09,640
Let alone... oh, God.
44
00:02:10,510 --> 00:02:15,516
Well, I think I met you, Mags
in about 1958.
45
00:02:16,070 --> 00:02:17,231
I think so.
46
00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:21,241
And we did The Double-Dealer
and we went to the Edinburgh to the festival
47
00:02:21,270 --> 00:02:23,716
and got pursued by Miles Malleson.
48
00:02:23,750 --> 00:02:25,354
MAGGIE:
Did we do that in Edinburgh?
49
00:02:25,390 --> 00:02:27,757
Yeah, we did it at the festival
don't you remember?
50
00:02:27,790 --> 00:02:28,757
No.
51
00:02:28,790 --> 00:02:30,315
Yes, you and I had to hide.
52
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:31,590
It's gone, it's gone.
53
00:02:31,630 --> 00:02:34,679
JUDI: We had to hide between
the two shows because of Miles Malleson.
54
00:02:34,710 --> 00:02:36,553
MAGGIE:
I didn't know we were in Edinburgh.
55
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:37,557
Were we good?
56
00:02:37,590 --> 00:02:39,672
No, I don't think we were.
57
00:02:40,030 --> 00:02:41,191
Too long ago
58
00:02:41,870 --> 00:02:47,479
JOAN: I remember you saying, Mags,
that you'd been discovered and rediscovered.
59
00:02:47,910 --> 00:02:50,516
Yeah, I'm still hanging in for that
- THEY LAUGH
60
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:54,553
INTERVIEWER: Who saw Share My Lasses
Joan did you see
Share My Lasses?
61
00:02:54,590 --> 00:02:57,275
Well yes, you weren't listening
and I've just told you.
62
00:02:57,310 --> 00:02:58,436
THEY LAUGH
63
00:02:59,070 --> 00:03:02,358
I was feeling depressed at the time
and friends said
64
00:03:02,390 --> 00:03:07,556
'Oh we'll take you out to somewhere
that'll cheer you up madly.
65
00:03:07,590 --> 00:03:12,152
It's Kenneth Williams, he's very funny
as you know, and there's this new girl
66
00:03:12,950 --> 00:03:15,237
Don't.
- And that was the new girl.
67
00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:18,558
Would you say Kenneth
had been quite a big influence on you?
68
00:03:18,590 --> 00:03:19,830
An enormous influence.
69
00:03:19,870 --> 00:03:21,713
I mean, I pinch from him all the time.
70
00:03:22,150 --> 00:03:23,595
Can you give us some examples?
71
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:27,919
Well, in
Black Comedy, I'm doing a
complete Kenneth, I mean it's outrageous.
72
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:29,839
He hasn't seen it, he'd be livid.
73
00:03:29,870 --> 00:03:34,797
You know, that awful Mrs Punnett who keeps
whistling like that, you know, it's pure Ken.
74
00:03:34,830 --> 00:03:35,911
KEN:
Settle down.
75
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:39,034
INTERVIEWER:
Eileen, tell us a bit about Baby Eileen?
76
00:03:39,670 --> 00:03:42,196
A gypsy told my mother
I was going to be a dancer
77
00:03:42,230 --> 00:03:44,676
and she kept sending me
to dancing lessons
78
00:03:44,710 --> 00:03:48,556
and I kept screaming and wanting
to come home again from the age of three.
79
00:03:48,590 --> 00:03:52,072
And finally at five, I seemed stuck there.
80
00:03:52,790 --> 00:03:57,557
And that particular dancing school
was called The KY School
81
00:03:57,590 --> 00:04:01,072
and we had it on all our clothes... KY
- MAGGIE: Gracious.
82
00:04:01,110 --> 00:04:05,434
My brother played the drums there
and his drums had KY on it.
83
00:04:05,470 --> 00:04:08,758
We never knew why people laughed
slightly or looked the other way.
84
00:04:08,790 --> 00:04:10,235
That's sad.
85
00:04:10,270 --> 00:04:15,674
And I danced in working men's clubs
I mean, two or three times a week
86
00:04:16,830 --> 00:04:21,677
until my grammar school said
She falls asleep in school all the tlme '
87
00:04:21,710 --> 00:04:23,360
Cause you were up all night
doing these things?
88
00:04:23,390 --> 00:04:24,551
Yes,yes
89
00:04:24,590 --> 00:04:26,957
EILEEN:
Well, it was paedophilia land really.
90
00:04:26,990 --> 00:04:28,833
We were little girls up there.
91
00:04:28,870 --> 00:04:31,635
Then what, did you decide just that
you didn't want to do it anymore?
92
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:35,038
I did my first play when I was ten
and kept telling my mum
93
00:04:35,070 --> 00:04:39,598
from then on, that I didn't want to dance
I was going to do this other thing.
94
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:43,396
We all just thought we were
going to be stage actresses.
95
00:04:43,990 --> 00:04:46,118
MAGGIE: Yes.
- EILEEN: Yeah.
96
00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:49,074
JOAN:
Did you start off with light and make-up?
97
00:04:49,630 --> 00:04:51,519
MAGGIE AND JUDI
Yes, five and nine.
98
00:04:51,550 --> 00:04:53,075
Five and nine was the men's make up.
99
00:04:53,110 --> 00:04:55,158
No, I wore Dark Egyptian in one thing.
100
00:04:56,670 --> 00:04:58,035
Peter Pan
101
00:04:58,070 --> 00:05:00,880
Five and nine was really the men's
make-up, wasn't it?
102
00:05:00,910 --> 00:05:05,313
JOAN: But you added a bit of three
or two and a half to it if you're a girl.
103
00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:08,354
And a big red spot in the corner
of your eyes.
104
00:05:08,390 --> 00:05:09,357
EILEEN: Absolutely
105
00:05:09,390 --> 00:05:11,438
Oh, yes, red spots in the eye
- Big red spot.
106
00:05:11,470 --> 00:05:13,518
Crimson Lake if you were being aged.
107
00:05:14,230 --> 00:05:16,471
JUDI:
Yes, lines of Crimson Lake.
108
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:21,554
People coming out of drama schools years ago
109
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:24,400
wanted to go to Bristol Old Vic
110
00:05:24,430 --> 00:05:27,991
or Oxford or somewhere
there's a really good rep.
111
00:05:28,630 --> 00:05:30,758
JUDI: There was a thing wasn't there
where you went to reps
112
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:32,633
and you stayed in digs and things
113
00:05:32,670 --> 00:05:35,560
that if the landlady wasn't very nice
or didn't do something
114
00:05:35,590 --> 00:05:38,673
you used to nail a Kipper
under the table before you left.
115
00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:40,075
EILEEN:
That's true
116
00:05:40,110 --> 00:05:44,115
Tim West went home one night
to a darkened house
117
00:05:44,150 --> 00:05:46,312
letting himself in the back
into the kitchen
118
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:49,033
and the landlady
119
00:05:49,430 --> 00:05:53,355
was having sex with a man on the table.
120
00:05:54,270 --> 00:05:59,197
And she was right out lying
and as he opened the door, she saw him
121
00:05:59,230 --> 00:06:03,519
and she said 'Oh, Mr West,
you must think I'm such a flirt
122
00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:09,320
On the table?
- On the table.
123
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:12,035
Unaware there was a Kipper
attached to it.
124
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:13,476
The Kipper!
125
00:06:15,670 --> 00:06:17,354
How ghastly
126
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:18,716
Let's go through here!
127
00:06:19,230 --> 00:06:21,153
JUDI:
I went straight from the Vic
128
00:06:21,190 --> 00:06:23,477
to do
The Cherry Orchard
129
00:06:24,030 --> 00:06:26,795
which was with...
130
00:06:27,430 --> 00:06:31,151
MAGGIE: Oh, that was an amazing cast
- JUDI: ...Michel Saint-Denis and Peggy.
131
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:32,555
And Sir John.
132
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:35,321
EILEEN: Who was the director?
- JOAN: Michel Saint-Denis was it?
133
00:06:35,350 --> 00:06:37,717
JUDI:
And he was really, really unkind.
134
00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:41,599
He used to come to the end of Act One
and then he'd give notes
135
00:06:41,630 --> 00:06:45,760
and he'd give a note here and he'd give
a note there and he'd give a note there.
136
00:06:45,790 --> 00:06:47,235
And he'd get to me, he'd go
137
00:06:48,110 --> 00:06:49,794
JOAN:
Oh, horrible.
138
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:54,199
And Peggy, I remember, said to me
To think I nearly married that man' she said.
139
00:06:55,190 --> 00:06:57,670
And then she said,
Never ever let him see you cry.
140
00:06:57,710 --> 00:06:59,235
Never let him see you cry
141
00:06:59,790 --> 00:07:02,270
And then one day we got
to the end of Act One
142
00:07:02,310 --> 00:07:04,790
and he used to give the notes then
143
00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:09,472
and Sir John said 'Well if you'd been doing
that for me, I'd be delighted,' he said.
144
00:07:09,510 --> 00:07:12,639
And it changed absolutely
everything for me.
145
00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:19,155
It just... entirely changed my life
really as far as, you know
146
00:07:19,190 --> 00:07:23,195
the fear of directors,
because the more you get frightened
147
00:07:23,230 --> 00:07:26,552
you know, and somebody goes like that
the less you can do.
148
00:07:26,590 --> 00:07:27,876
You can't mend it.
149
00:07:28,190 --> 00:07:29,521
Goodnight, Uncle.
150
00:07:29,550 --> 00:07:31,791
God bless you, little Anya
Mmm.
151
00:07:32,830 --> 00:07:38,439
I was at the Old Vic theatre school,
run by Judi's friend Michel Saint-Denis.
152
00:07:38,470 --> 00:07:39,312
JUIDXI:
pa.
153
00:07:39,630 --> 00:07:40,631
And George Devine
154
00:07:40,670 --> 00:07:46,279
And it was George who asked me
to join the company for...
155
00:07:46,990 --> 00:07:48,754
well, it was called
the English Stage Company
156
00:07:48,790 --> 00:07:51,111
but it just became known
as the Royal Court.
157
00:07:52,350 --> 00:07:54,956
Michel Saint-Denis had been told
158
00:07:55,310 --> 00:07:58,473
that they were asking me to join the company
159
00:07:59,190 --> 00:08:01,477
and Michel had said...
160
00:08:02,190 --> 00:08:04,557
'She can't play queens, you know '
161
00:08:05,750 --> 00:08:07,195
And George had said
162
00:08:07,230 --> 00:08:10,996
'I should think the last thing we want
in a theatre for contemporary writers
163
00:08:11,030 --> 00:08:13,032
is girls born to play queens
164
00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:14,435
THEY LAUGH
165
00:08:17,670 --> 00:08:19,354
THUNDER CLAPS
166
00:08:20,870 --> 00:08:22,110
MAN:
Stop there.
167
00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:26,392
INDISTINCT CHATTER
168
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:27,881
JOAN:
I thought we were going to sing.
169
00:08:28,670 --> 00:08:30,832
It's very wet.
- Oh, well. Yes.
170
00:08:31,950 --> 00:08:34,794
THUNDER RUMBLES
171
00:08:40,190 --> 00:08:41,430
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
172
00:08:47,230 --> 00:08:48,959
MAGGIE:
Shall we sit under the table?
173
00:08:50,270 --> 00:08:51,840
# Timothy's under the table
174
00:08:51,870 --> 00:08:53,315
# Be careful what you say
175
00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:56,991
# Timothy's under the table
so look the other way
176
00:08:57,030 --> 00:08:59,271
# You can tickle and squeeze
as much as you please
177
00:08:59,310 --> 00:09:00,755
# But don't you go too far
178
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:03,191
# Because Timothy's under the table
179
00:09:03,230 --> 00:09:04,914
# And he's bound to tell his ma
#
180
00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:08,312
Why eke II remember mew
181
00:09:08,350 --> 00:09:09,761
JUDI:
What is that?
182
00:09:09,790 --> 00:09:12,236
MAGGIE: It's the musical we were in
Hark Hark
the Fart.
183
00:09:13,270 --> 00:09:16,080
JUDI: Listen to the W/no'...
it's called Listen to the Wind.
184
00:09:16,110 --> 00:09:18,556
It's a terrible title.
- It is a terrible title.
185
00:09:18,590 --> 00:09:21,719
That's what Ronnie called it
is Hark Hark the Fart.
186
00:09:23,870 --> 00:09:26,191
MUSIC:
Timothy's Under The Table
187
00:09:28,470 --> 00:09:30,279
I forget.
Why did we start on that?
188
00:09:33,470 --> 00:09:34,676
INTERVIEWER
Cleopatra...
189
00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:36,681
Maggie, talk to us a bit about...
190
00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:38,838
I'm not going to talk about Cleopatra.
191
00:09:39,350 --> 00:09:40,431
JOAN
Right.
192
00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:41,915
INTERVIEWER
Judi, you start.
193
00:09:41,950 --> 00:09:42,872
You
194
00:09:43,310 --> 00:09:45,312
Uh-uh.
- Why?
195
00:09:45,350 --> 00:09:47,637
Nobody...
SHE LAUGHS
196
00:09:47,670 --> 00:09:49,957
I'm in the clear with this one.
197
00:09:49,990 --> 00:09:51,196
SHE GASPS
198
00:09:52,070 --> 00:09:53,276
You bang on.
199
00:09:53,710 --> 00:09:55,838
What do you mean, you're in the clear?
- You talk about Cleopatra?
200
00:09:55,870 --> 00:09:58,794
I've turned it down four times because
I thought I wasn't good looking enough.
201
00:09:59,470 --> 00:10:02,280
That's the end of my story of Cleopatra
202
00:10:02,670 --> 00:10:04,479
What are we meant to say about that?
203
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:06,476
WNW
204
00:10:06,510 --> 00:10:08,319
What are we meant to say to that?
205
00:10:08,350 --> 00:10:11,320
You're meant to say...
- 'Oh, Eileen, how stupid of you
206
00:10:11,350 --> 00:10:13,079
What a fool.' No.
207
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:15,351
Not good looking, that's a silly word
I don't know.
208
00:10:15,390 --> 00:10:16,755
No, I didn't have the courage.
209
00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:18,201
There you are,
I didn't have the courage.
210
00:10:18,230 --> 00:10:20,597
No, neither did I, that's why I did it
in Canada.
211
00:10:21,390 --> 00:10:24,155
JUDI: At least you did it though
- EILEEN: But you did it.
212
00:10:24,430 --> 00:10:28,071
Yes, I didn't have the courage,
I was asked by Jonathan Miller to do it
213
00:10:28,110 --> 00:10:31,592
I just said I couldn't possibly
do it at the National
214
00:10:32,030 --> 00:10:35,113
because in my own mind
I wouldn't be first choice.
215
00:10:35,910 --> 00:10:39,756
Half of them will say, 'Oh my God,
you know, she shouldn't be playing Cleopatra
216
00:10:39,790 --> 00:10:42,157
Cleopatra's supposed to be a great beauty '
217
00:10:42,190 --> 00:10:44,511
So that's the first stumbling block
isn't it?
218
00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:49,078
But you said a marvellous thing, Judi
when you were asked to do Cleopatra...
219
00:10:49,710 --> 00:10:51,678
Do you really want... now you go on with it.
220
00:10:52,830 --> 00:10:55,037
What? I can't remember.
221
00:10:55,070 --> 00:10:57,641
I just remember people laughing openly
222
00:10:57,670 --> 00:11:00,594
I prefer what you said.
When I said I was going to play it
223
00:11:00,630 --> 00:11:03,031
and it was announced,
people laughed openly at me
224
00:11:03,990 --> 00:11:07,631
But you said to Peter Hall,
was it, that was in charge?
225
00:11:08,670 --> 00:11:10,991
'Do you really want...'
Do you want me to say it?
226
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:13,636
JUDI:
Yes, I do. 'Menopausal dwarf
227
00:11:13,670 --> 00:11:15,832
That's it. It's very funny.
228
00:11:15,870 --> 00:11:19,716
Are you sure you want a menopausal dwarf
to play this part?' It's true.
229
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:21,081
Absolutely true
230
00:11:21,110 --> 00:11:24,159
MAGGIE: That's what she was
- That's what she was, quite.
231
00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:28,032
It's the way I played it
- MAGGIE: It's true.
232
00:11:29,270 --> 00:11:31,193
Where is the fellow?
- Half are feared to come.
233
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:32,470
Go to, go to
234
00:11:35,310 --> 00:11:36,391
Come hither, sir.
235
00:11:36,430 --> 00:11:39,274
Good majesty, Herod of Jewry
dare not look upon you
236
00:11:39,310 --> 00:11:40,641
but when you are well pleased.
237
00:11:40,670 --> 00:11:42,354
That Herod's head I'll have.
238
00:11:43,670 --> 00:11:47,720
But how when Anthony is gone,
through whom I might command it?
239
00:11:48,110 --> 00:11:51,193
They assume, well, I'm talking about critics
240
00:11:51,230 --> 00:11:56,441
that we all think we're the king's knees,
the bee's knees
241
00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:58,677
and will take on these parts.
242
00:11:58,710 --> 00:12:03,876
They don't realise
that we're shaking inside, right?
243
00:12:03,910 --> 00:12:06,151
That's absolutely true
because that's two of us
244
00:12:06,190 --> 00:12:08,397
didn't have any courage at all
and not do it.
245
00:12:08,430 --> 00:12:10,956
There's Maggie nervously doing it
in another country
246
00:12:10,990 --> 00:12:13,914
gm mu mmgny M ma.
247
00:12:14,430 --> 00:12:17,718
JUDI: And Tony Hopkins, on the top
of the monument, he used to say
248
00:12:19,070 --> 00:12:22,119
'I'm going now for a nice lie down
while you do Act Five'
249
00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:23,561
THEY LAUGH
250
00:12:23,590 --> 00:12:24,830
And that is what he said.
251
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:26,838
But there's a lot of rest
before Act Five.
252
00:12:27,590 --> 00:12:30,594
There's a bit of rest in there with Pompey
and all that lot.
253
00:12:30,630 --> 00:12:32,394
It's long enough to lose the thread.
254
00:12:32,990 --> 00:12:36,597
We used to be up in that Monument,
when you're up there for a long time
255
00:12:37,630 --> 00:12:43,160
and Miranda Foster
and Helen Fitzgerald used to say to me
256
00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:45,477
What would you really like to eat now?'
257
00:12:45,950 --> 00:12:49,796
And I used to say 'What I'd like now
is a glass of champagne and a lobster salad
258
00:12:49,830 --> 00:12:53,073
And on the last, the very last night
259
00:12:53,470 --> 00:12:56,280
we were in the Monument
260
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:57,675
and they said 'What would you like?'
261
00:12:57,710 --> 00:12:59,792
I said 'Oh, lobster salad and '
262
00:12:59,830 --> 00:13:01,753
And they went, 'dink' with the light
263
00:13:02,910 --> 00:13:04,071
and there it was
264
00:13:04,790 --> 00:13:05,632
And we had it.
265
00:13:05,670 --> 00:13:08,037
I found it very difficult to say
'To the Monument'
266
00:13:08,070 --> 00:13:10,357
cause it's like a tube station, isn't it?
267
00:13:11,830 --> 00:13:13,514
I think I wasn't good at that.
268
00:13:13,910 --> 00:13:16,231
'To the Monument' I thought
no, I'm sorry
269
00:13:16,670 --> 00:13:18,718
I'd rather not say that.
270
00:13:19,710 --> 00:13:23,431
But wasn't it Mags,
darling Mags Tyzack said
271
00:13:23,470 --> 00:13:27,998
she couldn't get her head round
having to say, 'I am for Argos.'
272
00:13:28,750 --> 00:13:31,515
THEY LAUGH
- MAGGIE: What was she doing?
273
00:13:32,470 --> 00:13:33,801
Am Wm
274
00:13:36,350 --> 00:13:37,681
You can't, can you?
275
00:13:38,110 --> 00:13:39,521
It's ridiculous.
276
00:13:40,390 --> 00:13:43,314
I've never not known
an Antony complain
277
00:13:44,470 --> 00:13:47,838
because I think they find out that
really it's Cleopatra's evening
278
00:13:49,230 --> 00:13:50,914
rather more than Antony's.
279
00:13:50,950 --> 00:13:54,591
I think Cleopatra is a better part
than Antony.
280
00:13:55,150 --> 00:13:58,472
And I think the men never know
until they're in the middle of doing it.
281
00:13:58,510 --> 00:13:59,716
MAGGIE
Oh, I see.
282
00:13:59,750 --> 00:14:01,320
EILEEN:
I know Alan Bates told me that.
283
00:14:01,350 --> 00:14:03,876
He said, 'Halfway through, I realised '
284
00:14:03,910 --> 00:14:06,072
MAGGIE: That's because he wanted
to play Cleopatra.
285
00:14:06,110 --> 00:14:08,317
EILEEN: There is something
of that in it, absolutely.
286
00:14:08,350 --> 00:14:09,715
Can't win.
287
00:14:10,190 --> 00:14:12,272
INTERVIEWER:
Talk a bit more about fright, if you will.
288
00:14:12,950 --> 00:14:14,520
On the way to the theatre
289
00:14:14,550 --> 00:14:15,756
I always think...
290
00:14:16,750 --> 00:14:18,798
Would you like to be run over now
291
00:14:19,110 --> 00:14:21,033
or in a massive car accident?'
292
00:14:22,110 --> 00:14:25,114
And I only just about come out
on the side of no.
293
00:14:27,070 --> 00:14:31,553
Or sometimes, I know occasions
where it could have turned to yes.
294
00:14:32,870 --> 00:14:36,079
I remember being in The Importance
and playing Cecily
295
00:14:36,110 --> 00:14:40,479
and I had a little speech which was
296
00:14:40,510 --> 00:14:42,638
It is always painful to part from people
297
00:14:42,670 --> 00:14:45,594
whom one has known
for a very brief space of time
298
00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:49,635
The absence of old friends
one can endure with equanimity
299
00:14:49,670 --> 00:14:52,196
but even a momentary separation
from one to whom
300
00:14:52,230 --> 00:14:54,995
one has just been introduced
is almost unbearable.'
301
00:14:55,390 --> 00:14:58,234
And I could not remember it.
302
00:14:58,270 --> 00:14:59,840
Well, you do now.
- I couldn't remember it at all.
303
00:14:59,870 --> 00:15:03,670
On the first night I just got it out
and Alec McCowen after it went, 'Pop!
304
00:15:04,630 --> 00:15:07,554
So I said to him, 'That's no help Alec '
305
00:15:07,590 --> 00:15:09,274
He said 'There was a passing fly '
306
00:15:11,230 --> 00:15:12,436
That's so mean
307
00:15:13,990 --> 00:15:15,833
And why should I remember that now?
308
00:15:15,870 --> 00:15:18,237
Because you spent a very long time
trying to learn it.
309
00:15:18,270 --> 00:15:19,795
Trying to learn it.
310
00:15:19,830 --> 00:15:22,071
That's all I can remember
are things like that.
311
00:15:22,590 --> 00:15:24,274
INTERVIEWER:
Can you talk a bit about naturalism?
312
00:15:24,310 --> 00:15:28,110
When you started out were people
much bigger in their performances?
313
00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:32,599
Well, I thought I'd done a very
naturalistic performance
314
00:15:32,630 --> 00:15:36,157
in The Duchess of A/Ia/f/on television
and then a couple of years ago
315
00:15:36,190 --> 00:15:39,034
I was at the Globe and they were doing
the doing The
Duchess of Ma/fi
316
00:15:39,070 --> 00:15:40,799
in one of the other theatres
317
00:15:40,830 --> 00:15:44,198
and one of the cast came up
to me and said
318
00:15:44,230 --> 00:15:48,758
'Yes, we've watched your
old television of Ma/fi.
319
00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:52,761
Well, of course that was alright in your day
but we're going to do it naturally.'
320
00:15:54,830 --> 00:15:59,438
Why should only I,
of all the other princes in the world
321
00:16:00,990 --> 00:16:02,913
be cased up like a holy relic?
322
00:16:04,870 --> 00:16:06,235
I have youth and a little beauty.
323
00:16:06,270 --> 00:16:09,433
So you have some virgins that are witches.
324
00:16:10,950 --> 00:16:14,113
It's a different form of naturalism
each time, isn't it?
325
00:16:14,150 --> 00:16:19,793
I mean, each generation thinks they've found
the natural way to do something.
326
00:16:20,870 --> 00:16:26,240
No, be assured you shall not find me daughter
after the slander of most stepmothers
327
00:16:26,270 --> 00:16:27,874
evil-eyed unto you
328
00:16:28,350 --> 00:16:30,000
You are my prisoner but you're...
329
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:33,830
ah, yes, you are my prisoner
but your jailer shall deliver you
330
00:16:33,870 --> 00:16:35,713
the keys that lock up your restraint.
331
00:16:35,750 --> 00:16:36,831
MAN:
Oh, you've done it.
332
00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:38,281
You've done it. That was perfect.
333
00:16:38,350 --> 00:16:39,920
That was absolutely perfect.
334
00:16:40,590 --> 00:16:42,115
That will never happen again.
335
00:16:42,150 --> 00:16:44,039
MAN:
No, it will, darling, it will.
336
00:16:44,550 --> 00:16:48,953
It's always very difficult for me to hear
Shakespeare
337
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:54,716
being done in a natural way
338
00:16:55,270 --> 00:16:59,434
with pauses anywhere they like
and, 'Uh, uh, uh.'
339
00:17:00,430 --> 00:17:02,194
“Um...”
340
00:17:02,230 --> 00:17:06,997
Because they think it gives
the impression that they're thinking of it
341
00:17:07,030 --> 00:17:08,634
absolutely of the moment.
342
00:17:09,470 --> 00:17:13,316
But I mean, you know, Shakespeare is poetry
343
00:17:14,150 --> 00:17:16,471
and it does have a rhythm and it does...
344
00:17:16,510 --> 00:17:20,834
And there is a way of using the poetry
and being naturalistic.
345
00:17:21,710 --> 00:17:25,681
And that's seems to me,
if it's done and things are changed
346
00:17:25,710 --> 00:17:31,956
and it's broken up, it seems to me to be
losing entirely out on the other side of it.
347
00:17:31,990 --> 00:17:34,311
Y. MW-
348
00:17:35,830 --> 00:17:38,117
The quality of mercy is not strained.
349
00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:43,317
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
upon the place beneath.
350
00:17:44,870 --> 00:17:46,360
It is twice blessed.
351
00:17:47,510 --> 00:17:49,911
It blesseth him that gives
and him that takes.
352
00:17:50,630 --> 00:17:55,158
It's like you bring it down to you
and your size
353
00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:56,715
instead of reaching up
354
00:17:57,910 --> 00:17:59,992
to something that's a bit...
355
00:18:00,390 --> 00:18:05,635
Well, I think it would look pretty rum
if we all did it as they did it way back.
356
00:18:05,670 --> 00:18:07,991
Pre Laurence I talk about.
357
00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:10,438
I mean, it would look a bit quaint
wouldn't it?
358
00:18:11,350 --> 00:18:13,398
You have to move with the times
359
00:18:13,430 --> 00:18:15,717
JOAN: That would seem
to us like hollow booming.
360
00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:20,157
Yes, I think it does frequently sound
like that now.
361
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:23,994
But there's a... middle ground
362
00:18:24,030 --> 00:18:25,156
JOAN:
There is a middle ground.
363
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:27,480
THUNDER CLAPS
364
00:18:27,990 --> 00:18:29,560
Why art thou here
365
00:18:29,590 --> 00:18:31,513
come from the farthest steppe of India
366
00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:33,791
but that forsooth, the bouncing Amazon
367
00:18:33,830 --> 00:18:36,800
your buskined mistress and your warrior love
368
00:18:36,830 --> 00:18:38,480
to Theseus must be wedded
369
00:18:38,510 --> 00:18:41,241
and you come to give their bed
joy and prosperity.
370
00:18:45,430 --> 00:18:51,233
JOAN: It had been announced that Larry
was to be director of the National Theatre.
371
00:18:51,270 --> 00:18:52,920
That had been approved.
372
00:18:52,950 --> 00:18:53,917
EILEEN:
I can remember
373
00:18:53,950 --> 00:18:56,476
I had the feeling of going almost every week.
374
00:18:56,510 --> 00:19:00,071
So it was very exciting for other actors
in the profession
375
00:19:00,110 --> 00:19:02,158
as well as those of you in the company.
376
00:19:03,270 --> 00:19:07,036
Yes, and Maggie, I mean, you moved in there
377
00:19:07,630 --> 00:19:09,837
despite your nervousness about critics.
378
00:19:09,870 --> 00:19:11,281
V, H M.
379
00:19:11,310 --> 00:19:16,794
Well, I think I was more nervous
of Laurence than the critics.
380
00:19:16,830 --> 00:19:18,036
WNW
381
00:19:18,070 --> 00:19:21,119
I was more nervous of your husband
than the critics.
382
00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:25,800
I must admit.
383
00:19:27,470 --> 00:19:29,040
Well, I don't think...
384
00:19:29,070 --> 00:19:30,560
As indeed everybody was, Joan.
385
00:19:30,590 --> 00:19:33,434
I don't think you ever showed it
- No, everybody was.
386
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:35,600
We were terrified.
387
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:37,641
And your name, my dear?
388
00:19:38,550 --> 00:19:41,394
Wilful, Jack Wilful, at your service.
389
00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:44,400
What, the Kentish Wilfuls
or those of Staffordshire?
390
00:19:44,430 --> 00:19:46,751
Eh Mm. fir, mm.
391
00:19:46,790 --> 00:19:49,191
I'm related to all the Wilfuls in Europe
392
00:19:49,230 --> 00:19:51,198
and I'm head of the family at present.
393
00:19:51,230 --> 00:19:53,278
Do you live in this country, sir?
- I live where I stand.
394
00:19:53,310 --> 00:19:55,836
I have no house and I have no habitation
beyond this spot of ground.
395
00:19:55,870 --> 00:19:57,634
What are you, sir?
- A rake.
396
00:19:57,670 --> 00:19:59,832
AUDIENCE LAUGHS
397
00:19:59,870 --> 00:20:01,315
In the army, I presume?
398
00:20:01,350 --> 00:20:03,956
No, no but I intend to list
immediately.
399
00:20:05,270 --> 00:20:06,556
SHE WHISTLES
400
00:20:06,590 --> 00:20:08,592
MAGGIE:
No, he didn't scare me all the time.
401
00:20:08,630 --> 00:20:10,041
JOAN:
No, you scared him.
402
00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:12,960
I think I scared the wits out of him
from time to time.
403
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:15,639
A merry war, let us say
404
00:20:15,670 --> 00:20:18,833
A merry war, because I know,
I remember you telling me
405
00:20:18,870 --> 00:20:22,238
that he'd come in and said
you were too slow and you.
406
00:20:22,270 --> 00:20:23,715
MAGGIE:
Bored him off the stage.
407
00:20:24,270 --> 00:20:26,637
Ah, no money and no luggage either.
408
00:20:27,110 --> 00:20:28,600
Not a thing in the world.
409
00:20:29,110 --> 00:20:31,636
What is more, I don't care.
410
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:34,357
I'm here and I don't care.
411
00:20:34,390 --> 00:20:35,437
I like you for that.
412
00:20:36,670 --> 00:20:38,354
Only for that?
- No.
413
00:20:38,870 --> 00:20:40,838
AUDIENCE LAUGHS
414
00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:42,031
Not only for that
415
00:20:43,510 --> 00:20:44,841
JOAN:
You went on the next night
416
00:20:44,870 --> 00:20:47,157
and you went so fast
that he was befuddled.
417
00:20:47,190 --> 00:20:48,271
MAGGIE
I know.
418
00:20:48,310 --> 00:20:51,075
I went so fast, he didn't know whether
it was Wednesday or Christmas.
419
00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:55,078
He could have gone into F,'/'chard ///
without any trouble.
420
00:20:55,350 --> 00:20:57,557
I'd got him really really rattled
421
00:20:57,750 --> 00:20:59,479
BELL TOLLS
422
00:21:01,710 --> 00:21:04,190
EILEEN: Didn't he tell you
that your vowels weren't right?
423
00:21:04,230 --> 00:21:07,518
Yes, he did but...
- And what did you say to him?
424
00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:10,396
I used to put his eyelashes on
425
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:14,000
No, he did tell me my vowels
which they're still dodgy.
426
00:21:14,590 --> 00:21:16,194
Twill away again
427
00:21:17,390 --> 00:21:20,473
Let me but bind it hard,
within an hour it will be well.
428
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:23,593
So I went in to help him
with the eyelashes
429
00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:29,034
and he was sitting there in all that gunge
and I said 'How now, brown cow?'
430
00:21:29,670 --> 00:21:32,913
And all he said was...
That's better', he said.
431
00:21:32,950 --> 00:21:35,760
THEY LAUGH
432
00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:41,070
Anyway, he got very cross with me
because I wouldn't do
Skin of our Teeth.
433
00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:42,191
Yes
434
00:21:43,230 --> 00:21:44,470
Yes
435
00:21:45,390 --> 00:21:46,994
'Out devil,' he says
436
00:21:48,230 --> 00:21:49,720
MAGGIE:
But he did knock me out.
437
00:21:50,270 --> 00:21:52,159
JOAN: Well, not quite
- MAGGIE: He did.
438
00:21:52,190 --> 00:21:54,272
Mad!
- Why, sweet Othello.

He hit me.

00:21:58,390 --> 00:21:59,232
Whoosh!
442
00:22:00,230 --> 00:22:01,356
Out devil
443
00:22:01,830 --> 00:22:06,597
And I was left with some black marks
on my face.
444
00:22:08,310 --> 00:22:09,835
Oh, dear
445
00:22:09,870 --> 00:22:14,080
But I did say it was the only time
I saw stars at the National Theatre.
446
00:22:14,110 --> 00:22:15,839
THEY LAUGHS
447
00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:18,074
Those were the days, eh'?
448
00:22:18,110 --> 00:22:22,035
They also had the lights put up
a bit higher when he came on.
449
00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:23,276
When he came on, yes
450
00:22:23,310 --> 00:22:26,200
You could...
If you went like that, you got into it.
451
00:22:27,750 --> 00:22:28,990
But you had to...
452
00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:33,590
You had to make sure you could
get your head in.

MAGGIE:
Darling Frank Finlay.
455
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:42,991
He came off one night and he flew
to the prompt corner
456
00:22:43,030 --> 00:22:45,840
and he started tearing at his eyes.
457
00:22:47,550 --> 00:22:50,474
And I was so alarmed and I thought
'What's happened?'
458
00:22:50,510 --> 00:22:52,035
And he was wearing...
459
00:22:52,070 --> 00:22:54,596
he'd never worn them before
he had contact lenses.
460
00:22:54,630 --> 00:22:56,041
EILEEN
Oh, yes
461
00:22:56,070 --> 00:23:01,031
And he said 'I have just seen Sir Laurence
and I never want to see him again!'
462
00:23:02,390 --> 00:23:05,599
He couldn't get them out
MAGGIE LAUGHS
463
00:23:05,630 --> 00:23:07,234
Can you imagine?
464
00:23:07,270 --> 00:23:09,876
Because he couldn't see his hand
in front of him, could he, Frank?
465
00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:12,911
MAGGIE:
Poor man.

INDISTINCT CHATTER
470
00:23:52,790 --> 00:23:55,521
JOAN: We got the cottage
as a halfway house
471
00:23:56,190 --> 00:23:57,874
between Brighton and Chichester
472
00:23:57,910 --> 00:24:00,038
when Larry was running Chichester Theatre
473
00:24:00,870 --> 00:24:04,079
because getting out of Brighton
took such a long time in the summer
474
00:24:04,110 --> 00:24:05,953
with all the crowds of visitors.
475
00:24:09,270 --> 00:24:13,992
And also, we needed some
country air and space.
476
00:24:15,390 --> 00:24:22,080
When we first came, there was just
the central part, little cottage
477
00:24:23,310 --> 00:24:28,794
still with a few Elizabethan stones
in the wall
478
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:34,480
and the cottage was surrounded
by nettles
479
00:24:34,510 --> 00:24:38,834
just nettles all around this, and the field.
480
00:24:41,310 --> 00:24:43,119

I like the way you consider
what was written on the cushion
484
00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:13,354
Well, yeah, because you
485
00:25:17,070 --> 00:25:18,674
I'm sure we look natural
486
00:25:19,710 --> 00:25:20,836

Not even in a play.

No, of course it's not. It's fine

00:26:00,030 --> 00:26:01,475
# Roll the keel, roll the...#
500
00:26:01,510 --> 00:26:03,512
Look at them all looking bored over there.
501
00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:06,232
INTERVIEWER:
Are first days still scary?
502
00:26:07,030 --> 00:26:08,998
First days on film sets, or first days?
503
00:26:09,030 --> 00:26:11,271
All days, all days are scary.
- INTERVIEWER CHUCKLES
504
00:26:11,310 --> 00:26:13,199
Yes.
- No, that's true
505
00:26:13,230 --> 00:26:14,561
It is absolutely true.
506
00:26:14,590 --> 00:26:17,753
I don't know why people assume
that it is any other way.
507
00:26:18,550 --> 00:26:19,995
It's just...
508
00:26:22,950 --> 00:26:27,000
MAGGIE: It is scary and it is every day
on a film, isn't it?
509
00:26:27,590 --> 00:26:29,160
MAN 1:
Quiet. Let's shoot, please.
510
00:26:29,190 --> 00:26:32,114
Turn over.
- MAN 2: OK, action, everybody!
511
00:26:33,950 --> 00:26:36,237
JUDI: Certainly every day on a film set
because you haven't done it before.
512
00:26:36,270 --> 00:26:37,192
MAGGIE
I know.
513
00:26:37,230 --> 00:26:42,270
Filming is very scary because
there are so many people involved.
514
00:26:42,310 --> 00:26:47,953
But it's the... everybody kind of
waiting with bated breath.
515
00:26:48,550 --> 00:26:49,551
Mm.
516
00:26:50,910 --> 00:26:52,116
How horrid.
517
00:26:53,190 --> 00:26:54,840
And who turns out to have done it?
518
00:26:54,870 --> 00:26:56,201
Oh, I couldn't tell you that.
519
00:26:56,230 --> 00:26:57,834
It would spoil it for you.
520
00:26:59,150 --> 00:27:01,312
Oh, but none of us will see it
- SHE CHUCKLES
521
00:27:01,350 --> 00:27:04,194
And if you get it wrong
there's a lot of silent...
522
00:27:04,670 --> 00:27:05,910
Looking.
523
00:27:05,950 --> 00:27:08,635
Looking at each other and the eyes roll
and there's a bit of...
524
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:10,274
MAGGIE SIGHS
525
00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:12,921
Heavy breathing.
526
00:27:12,950 --> 00:27:14,952
Are we really going again?'
527
00:27:18,950 --> 00:27:21,351
MAGGIE:
I wasn't actually allowed to go to films.
528
00:27:21,390 --> 00:27:22,880
They didn't approve
529
00:27:22,910 --> 00:27:24,674
I used to get claustrophobia.
530
00:27:24,710 --> 00:27:27,839
With that horrible smell and those carpets
that sank down.
531
00:27:27,870 --> 00:27:31,397
MAGGIE: I think I saw Hamlet
when I was at school.
532
00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:34,472
JUIDXI:
v. And Hwy
M
533
00:27:34,510 --> 00:27:35,477
MAGGIE
Yes.
534
00:27:35,510 --> 00:27:36,955
Well, we were allowed to do that.
535
00:27:36,990 --> 00:27:38,401
JUDI:
We were made to, weren't we?
536
00:27:38,430 --> 00:27:39,716
MAGGIE: That's true
SHE LAUGHS
537
00:27:39,750 --> 00:27:41,878
JUDI: We were made to because
you all had to fight for our country.
538
00:27:43,070 --> 00:27:47,120
I had a great aunt, great aunt Sarah,
I think she was called, I only met her once.
539
00:27:47,150 --> 00:27:51,155
She lived in Dublin and she was
like a bird, a tiny little bird.
540
00:27:51,190 --> 00:27:54,000
And... she once said... 'I'm not going...
541
00:27:54,030 --> 00:27:57,671
I'm not going to films anymore
because the seats are too narrow
542
00:27:57,710 --> 00:28:01,078
And she never knew that you
actually put the seat down.
543
00:28:01,510 --> 00:28:04,354
She just sat on that little narrow bit
- I don't believe you, Judi.
544
00:28:04,390 --> 00:28:06,518
She sat on that!
- It's a fact.
545
00:28:06,550 --> 00:28:08,154
Mind you, we all did as children.
546
00:28:08,710 --> 00:28:09,871
Perched.
547
00:28:11,110 --> 00:28:14,717
The next door neighbours took me to see
548
00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:19,233
now this is really frightening
The Jazz Singer.
549
00:28:20,550 --> 00:28:21,756
Al Jolson?
550
00:28:21,790 --> 00:28:23,519
No, it wasn't Al Jolson.
551
00:28:24,750 --> 00:28:27,196
Close, but no, it was
552
00:28:27,230 --> 00:28:32,236
it was Larry, not Olivier
Larry Parks.
553
00:28:34,350 --> 00:28:39,356
It was so long and so boring
I didn't enjoy it at all.
554
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:42,439
But I got home and my father
was very, very, very cross.
555
00:28:42,830 --> 00:28:44,161
JUDI:
Was it not suitable?
556
00:28:44,190 --> 00:28:46,557
MAGGIE: Well, no because it was
a Sunday and it was, you know...
557
00:28:46,590 --> 00:28:47,477
JUDI:
Oh, yes.
558
00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:49,080
MAGGIE: So you weren't allowed
to do anything like that.
559
00:28:50,190 --> 00:28:51,999
So it kind of put me off a bit.
560
00:28:52,910 --> 00:28:55,436
So after that, the first thing I saw
was Hamlet.
561
00:28:56,950 --> 00:28:58,679
And that was just as scary.
562
00:29:00,710 --> 00:29:02,235
Just as scary.
563
00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:05,277
MAGGIE
Ooh.
564
00:29:06,310 --> 00:29:10,793
I've never known my father
as cross as he was that day.
565
00:29:12,430 --> 00:29:15,752
INTERVIEWER: What did your parents
make of you going into this job?
566
00:29:16,910 --> 00:29:19,720
What did they make of me
going into this job?
567
00:29:21,150 --> 00:29:22,993
Well, I think they were a bit puzzled.
568
00:29:23,630 --> 00:29:26,554
How did you begin in the theatre?
Did you act at school?
569
00:29:26,590 --> 00:29:31,278
The very first definite step
was when I was still at school.
570
00:29:31,310 --> 00:29:33,551
They had a frightfully good thing
that when you'd finished
571
00:29:33,590 --> 00:29:34,716
you know, general school certificate
572
00:29:34,750 --> 00:29:38,516
you usually had about two weeks at the end
of term which was kind of dead time.
573
00:29:38,550 --> 00:29:41,076
And I immediately went to
the Oxford Playhouse.
574
00:29:42,030 --> 00:29:48,561
In The Letter, I think it's The Letter,
I played Uh, Chinese boy.
575
00:29:49,870 --> 00:29:53,761
Uh, a Chinese boy in an opium den.
576
00:29:54,550 --> 00:29:56,757
Of course you did.
- Yes, 'course I did.
577
00:29:57,590 --> 00:30:03,279
And... right
at the beginning of The
Letter
I was
the Malayan woman.
578
00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:07,637
And you were Uh, Chinese...
579
00:30:07,670 --> 00:30:09,434
And Uh, Chinese boy.
580
00:30:09,470 --> 00:30:11,438
God, can you imagine
my make-up?
581
00:30:13,350 --> 00:30:14,556
Oh!
582
00:30:15,070 --> 00:30:16,231
DIALOGUE FROM
ROOTS PLAYS
583
00:30:16,270 --> 00:30:17,760
JOAN: You don't have to make no effort
for them, they come easy.
584
00:30:17,790 --> 00:30:18,871
But we know where the money //es
585
00:30:18,910 --> 00:30:20,992
They say, 'He// we do,
the workers have got it.
586
00:30:21,030 --> 00:30:23,237
A/night then let's give 'em
what they want.
587
00:30:23,270 --> 00:30:26,114
If they want words of one syllable
we 'll give 'em that then.
588
00:30:26,150 --> 00:30:28,994
If they want the third rate blast
we '// give 'em that then.
589
00:30:29,030 --> 00:30:32,034
Anything's good enough for them
'cause they don't ask for no more
590
00:30:32,070 --> 00:30:35,711
The who/e stinking commercial world
insults us and we don't give a
damn.
591
00:30:35,750 --> 00:30:38,071
Well, it does serve us r/jg/7t.
It is our own fault.
592
00:30:38,110 --> 00:30:39,919
We want the third rate
and we've got it!
593
00:30:39,950 --> 00:30:41,679
We've got it! We've got it!
594
00:30:42,670 --> 00:30:45,037
J©II\N
mm .
595
00:30:45,470 --> 00:30:50,397
You know, such a leading part
that hardly exists anywhere.
596
00:30:50,430 --> 00:30:55,880
You know, Beatie is the centre of attention
is the centre of the story
597
00:30:55,910 --> 00:31:00,234
instead of being, you know, on the side
the decoration bit
598
00:31:01,190 --> 00:31:02,351
the support
599
00:31:03,310 --> 00:31:06,393
The female is absolutely
at the centre of it.
600
00:31:09,150 --> 00:31:11,437
And it's that feeling of elation
601
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:14,235
exhilaration
602
00:31:14,830 --> 00:31:16,992
when you know you're in charge.
603
00:31:17,510 --> 00:31:18,591
Oh, yes
604
00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:21,873
Do anything you thought wrong, no no
I have too much honour to desire it.
605
00:31:21,910 --> 00:31:24,561
Don't you think we may as well leave
honour out of the argument?
606
00:31:24,590 --> 00:31:25,716
Ah.
607
00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:30,438
We are not in the first rank
of world beauties.
608
00:31:31,630 --> 00:31:38,115
That was my mother who sent me off
to the Old Vic Theatre school
609
00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:42,597
and saying, you know,
OK, you're on your way out there.
610
00:31:43,350 --> 00:31:48,481
You're no oil painting my girl
but you have the spark.
611
00:31:49,190 --> 00:31:54,560
You've lovely expressive eyes and thank God
you've got my legs and not your father's.'
612
00:31:56,190 --> 00:31:58,192
Madam, I'll see you.
613
00:31:58,590 --> 00:32:02,834
EILEEN: I was very lucky in the way that
your mother said that to you.
614
00:32:02,870 --> 00:32:06,761
It was the school teacher who was
encouraging me to go into the theatre
615
00:32:06,790 --> 00:32:11,751
and he invited an actor to come
and see me to ask his opinion
616
00:32:11,790 --> 00:32:17,001
and, accidentally, I heard him say,
I don't know what to do about her.
617
00:32:17,470 --> 00:32:23,751
I think she's probably
a very good actress, or could be
618
00:32:24,750 --> 00:32:31,201
but I'm worried about her looks,
because she's not what you would call pretty
619
00:32:32,110 --> 00:32:36,672
I was listening to this,
quite happily actually
620
00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:40,601
and then he answered happily for me
621
00:32:40,630 --> 00:32:43,679
which has kept me going throughout
the whole of my career
622
00:32:44,390 --> 00:32:48,600
'No, no, she's not conventionally
pretty in any way
623
00:32:50,070 --> 00:32:53,677
but do you know what, she's sexy '
624
00:32:54,430 --> 00:32:55,272
: Ah.
625
00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:06,397
MAGGIE: I spent two days the other day
trying to remember Andre Previn.
626
00:33:07,390 --> 00:33:09,472
I could not think of his name.
627
00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:12,315
JUDI:
Isn't it so easy?
628
00:33:12,990 --> 00:33:15,436
I spend all my time thinking,
What did I do last weekend?
629
00:33:17,550 --> 00:33:20,952
MAGGIE: 'Lucy used to borrow from
a woman who wore gators and galoshes
630
00:33:20,990 --> 00:33:25,791
and those plastic mackintoshes
and a rather grubby husband
631
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:27,639
that she only wore on Sundays
632
00:33:28,550 --> 00:33:29,995
Why do I remember things...
633
00:33:31,030 --> 00:33:32,395
Where's that from?
634
00:33:32,430 --> 00:33:33,795
One of those Oxford review.
635
00:33:35,670 --> 00:33:38,594
'And a rather pallid husband
that she only wore on Sundays.
636
00:33:39,110 --> 00:33:42,557
When she sat behind the teapot
handing fancies to the vicar.'
637
00:33:44,190 --> 00:33:45,237
I don't know.
638
00:33:45,390 --> 00:33:46,960
Where does it all come from?
639
00:33:46,990 --> 00:33:50,881
Kind of jammed full of rubbish
my head.
640
00:33:52,670 --> 00:33:53,956
Very difficult.
641
00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:58,392
Has anybody said go?
- Yes.
642
00:33:59,190 --> 00:34:00,601
Oh, go
- Yeah.
643
00:34:00,630 --> 00:34:02,120
What's the play, what's the part?
644
00:34:02,150 --> 00:34:03,481
THEY LAUGH
645
00:34:04,350 --> 00:34:06,671
EILEEN: Can you remember
the first time you came to this house?
646
00:34:07,430 --> 00:34:11,913
MAGGIE: I was with very small people
small children.
647
00:34:11,950 --> 00:34:17,320
And I've got a picture of Joan
just vanishing into the room downstairs
648
00:34:17,350 --> 00:34:21,594
and that wonderful lime walk out there
was this high
649
00:34:22,910 --> 00:34:24,719
where it's all overgrown now.
650
00:34:27,550 --> 00:34:32,033
So it was when Richard was tiny
and Chris was tiny.
651
00:34:34,430 --> 00:34:36,512
Babies.
- EILEEN: Lots of babies.
652
00:34:52,190 --> 00:34:58,357
RICHARD: I can tell you a story about
Richard when he was a very small person.
653
00:34:59,110 --> 00:35:01,761
In the hall there was a dumbwaiter
654
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:06,199
and Richard, as a small person
655
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:09,552
used to just nonchalantly post any mail
656
00:35:10,190 --> 00:35:11,954
that there might be down there.
657
00:35:11,990 --> 00:35:16,632
And one Christmas, I remember
Larry standing over him
658
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:18,711
because he'd...
659
00:35:20,750 --> 00:35:24,675
Larry was beseeching this child
and he's...
660
00:35:25,110 --> 00:35:29,160
because he couldn't find
the keys to the bar
661
00:35:29,190 --> 00:35:30,680
that was at the end of, erm
662
00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:34,514
and he saw Richard looking a bit furtive
663
00:35:35,430 --> 00:35:37,592
and he was leaning over him saying
664
00:35:37,630 --> 00:35:42,079

34, 44...
26 at the beginning.
689
00:37:22,750 --> 00:37:28,553
I think that I thought it was much more
to do with being in the theatre
690
00:37:29,150 --> 00:37:32,950
and, like, and it was fun
and things were loose.
691
00:37:32,990 --> 00:37:35,357
I don't know.
- Perhaps we swung a bit early.
692
00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:37,358
I think we did.
- Do you think?
693
00:37:37,390 --> 00:37:39,119
I'm sure you and I did.
694
00:37:39,150 --> 00:37:40,675
I'm pretty sure we did.
695
00:37:42,070 --> 00:37:43,799
I guess I was swinging
at the end of the fifties.
696
00:37:43,830 --> 00:37:46,117
We behaved pretty badly actually, Judi.

It was probably the same thing.
723
00:39:04,070 --> 00:39:05,071
Julian said...
724
00:39:05,110 --> 00:39:08,796
I was married to Julian Glover then
and we all sat down.
725
00:39:08,830 --> 00:39:12,835
And first of all, John Osbourne
was taken away
726
00:39:12,870 --> 00:39:15,635
and then Vanessa was taken away
and you were probably...
727
00:39:15,670 --> 00:39:17,513
Were you taken away?
- JUDI: Oh, no, I hid.
728
00:39:17,550 --> 00:39:18,790
EILEEN:
Well, you hid.
729
00:39:18,830 --> 00:39:23,154
Well, Julian went away and I thought
'I've had enough of this.'
730
00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:24,555
And I got up and went home
731
00:39:24,590 --> 00:39:27,241
and I remember buying some
crumpets on the way home.
732
00:39:27,830 --> 00:39:33,200
And Julian was furious with me
cause he spent a night in the cells
733
00:39:33,750 --> 00:39:36,594
and came back the next day
and said, 'What happened to you?'
734
00:39:36,630 --> 00:39:37,756
Where were you?'
735
00:39:37,790 --> 00:39:41,511
And I said, 'I suddenly thought
I wanted to go home.'
736
00:39:43,070 --> 00:39:46,438
We weren't allowed sometimes at home
737
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:48,711
to talk about politics or religion.
738
00:39:49,230 --> 00:39:50,800
When you were young?
- Yeah.
739
00:39:51,790 --> 00:39:53,679
No, nobody spoke about it
in my house at all.
740
00:39:53,710 --> 00:39:54,871
Not much.
741
00:39:55,990 --> 00:39:58,072
No, I don't remember debates
at school or anything.
742
00:39:58,110 --> 00:39:59,555
You went away to school, didn't you?
743
00:39:59,590 --> 00:40:02,719
Well, I was at boarding school in York,
which is my hometown.
744
00:40:02,750 --> 00:40:04,593
But I still had to stay there, you know...
745
00:40:05,390 --> 00:40:07,552
JUDI:
The Quaker's. I loved it.
746
00:40:07,590 --> 00:40:10,958
EILEEN: I remember asking you
about it, rather nosily
747
00:40:11,470 --> 00:40:15,270
and you said 'I just think
it's a very good idea each week
748
00:40:15,910 --> 00:40:17,992
to just collect yourself
749
00:40:18,030 --> 00:40:20,192

750
00:40:20,910 --> 00:40:21,957
Be calm.
751
00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:23,710
JUDI:
Well, it's very soothing.
752
00:40:23,750 --> 00:40:26,674
It's like, you know, like having
a massage in a way.
753
00:40:26,710 --> 00:40:29,998
I told you about Maggie and I
on The Marigold Hotel.
754
00:40:30,030 --> 00:40:37,676
We were in Udaipur
and we went for a head massage.
755
00:40:37,710 --> 00:40:40,031
An Indian head massage.
756
00:40:41,070 --> 00:40:43,311
Well, of course,
it's legendary isn't it?
757
00:40:43,350 --> 00:40:44,476
EILEEN:
Yes. That I would like.
758
00:40:44,510 --> 00:40:47,514
We thought this will be absolutely wonderful.
759
00:40:47,990 --> 00:40:51,961
She massaged our heads like that
and we were in the same room
760
00:40:51,990 --> 00:40:56,393
very quiet, very, very quiet
and just smelling lovely, you know.
761
00:40:57,110 --> 00:40:58,919
And as soon as she's finished
she went whack!

I just want a glass of water.
765
00:41:11,550 --> 00:41:13,040
That was a gin and tonic.
766
00:41:15,870 --> 00:41:16,837
I know that now.
767
00:41:17,790 --> 00:41:18,757
Oh.
768
00:41:19,950 --> 00:41:20,917
Oh, good grief

00:41:20,950 --> 00:41:25,319

JUDI: What year?
- TANYA: '51 or '52
772

JUDI:
Well, if it's '51... Oh, wait a minute.

EILEEN:
Is that you? No.
774
00:41:34,470 --> 00:41:35,801
Now wait a minute.
775
00:41:37,390 --> 00:41:38,676
Can I have it very close?
- Yes.

Oh. Er...

Oh, I wish I could see.

Yeah, that would be good.

00:41:50,590 --> 00:41:52,433
TANYA: We were wondering
whether that was you there.
781
00:41:52,470 --> 00:41:54,791
That's what I wondered
Can I just look closely?
782
00:41:54,830 --> 00:41:56,161
I can't see
783
00:41:58,110 --> 00:42:00,238
EILEEN: May I ask,
did you have tits even then?
784
00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:03,235
JUDI:
Well, that person has.
785
00:42:03,270 --> 00:42:04,510
Because you have
very pretty tits there.
786
00:42:04,550 --> 00:42:06,678
I don't think I had them like that.
787
00:42:06,710 --> 00:42:09,031
How old were you then? You're tiny there.
788
00:42:09,070 --> 00:42:12,279
JUDI: In '52...
- EILEEN You were 18.

Yes, yes, yes, that's Judi
790
00:42:14,270 --> 00:42:17,274
OK, just play it a tiny bit more.
- You have an awful wig on, it's...
791
00:42:17,310 --> 00:42:19,916
We all had them, those gold wigs.
792
00:42:20,590 --> 00:42:23,799
And there's everybody going in
to see it with their rugs, look.
793
00:42:24,950 --> 00:42:27,430
EILEEN: So this is in '52, yes?
- JUDI: St Mary's Abbey.
794
00:42:28,270 --> 00:42:30,876
My father played Annas
the High Priest.
795
00:42:30,910 --> 00:42:33,151
My mum made the costumes
- Look at them all.
796
00:42:33,190 --> 00:42:35,352
TANYA: And then there's lots
of behind the scene shots.
797
00:42:35,870 --> 00:42:37,634
JUDI: God, I remember that,
climbing up there
798
00:42:38,150 --> 00:42:40,960
and we were all in these great big arches.
799
00:42:44,030 --> 00:42:46,351
EILEEN: Do you know what
colour dress you had?
800
00:42:46,390 --> 00:42:51,635
JUDI: White, all white with
a gold collar and gold wigs.
801
00:42:52,670 --> 00:42:54,320
EILEEN:
And is that you there then?
802
00:42:54,350 --> 00:42:56,751
JUDI: I don't know, there's a bit
of horsing about going on there.
803
00:42:56,790 --> 00:42:59,077
TANYA: Sort of costume change
- EILEEN: Oh, costume change.
804
00:42:59,110 --> 00:43:02,034
JUDI: Oh. Oh, these are all devils.
805
00:43:02,070 --> 00:43:03,515
These are all devils.
806
00:43:05,550 --> 00:43:06,597
TANYA:
Is that thunder?
807
00:43:06,630 --> 00:43:08,997
EILEEN:
Oh, that's the thunder there, yes.
808
00:43:11,830 --> 00:43:13,594
Thank you, darling
- Oh, gosh!
809
00:43:13,630 --> 00:43:16,236
JUDI: Oh, now that's
where we were, that was me.
810
00:43:16,270 --> 00:43:19,911
That was just because
a May bug flew up my sleeve.
811
00:43:20,870 --> 00:43:22,156
A May bug?
812
00:43:24,830 --> 00:43:26,275
JUDI:
That's lovely, thank you.
813
00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:28,351
David Charles used to say
814
00:43:28,390 --> 00:43:31,155
With all wit that we wield
we worship thy will
815
00:43:31,190 --> 00:43:33,875
thou glorious God that is ground
of all grace
816
00:43:34,270 --> 00:43:37,433
with steadfast song let us ever stand still
817
00:43:37,470 --> 00:43:39,518
to be fed with the food
of beholding thy face'
818
00:43:42,350 --> 00:43:44,557
JUDI:
A wonderful man called Alfred Bristow.
819
00:43:45,070 --> 00:43:47,914
He'd say 'When hast thou Lord
who ownest all
820
00:43:47,950 --> 00:43:50,556
hunger or thirst since God art thou.
821
00:43:51,910 --> 00:43:54,834
Bits of it I can remember really clearly.
822
00:43:56,470 --> 00:43:58,040
Oh, my word!
823
00:43:58,630 --> 00:44:00,155
What wonderful footage.
824
00:44:00,190 --> 00:44:01,760
What a lovely thing to have.
825
00:44:10,910 --> 00:44:13,151
OK, so you're going to head
towards the step.
826
00:44:14,590 --> 00:44:15,876
And here's the door.
827
00:44:15,910 --> 00:44:18,117
Shall I put your hand on the frame?
828
00:44:18,670 --> 00:44:19,717
Brilliant.
829
00:44:20,510 --> 00:44:21,591
I've got you
830
00:44:23,990 --> 00:44:25,799
I did not sleep last night.
831
00:44:25,830 --> 00:44:28,151
You know that awful thing when you don't
- Oh, God I do.
832
00:44:28,190 --> 00:44:31,080
Everything was going round in my head
what we talked about.
833
00:44:33,550 --> 00:44:35,040
INTERVIEWER:
Who was the first dame?

00:44:35,070 --> 00:44:36,356
Joan, were you the first dame?
835
00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:37,960
No, I wasn't.
836
00:44:37,990 --> 00:44:39,515
EILEEN:
Jude was the first.
837
00:44:39,550 --> 00:44:42,281
JOAN: I was putting down the red carpet
for all my friends.
838
00:44:49,590 --> 00:44:51,558
MAGGIE:
You phoned me when it happened to me.
839
00:44:52,230 --> 00:44:55,313
And you said it doesn't make any
difference, you can still swear.
840
00:44:56,870 --> 00:44:57,871
Yes
841
00:44:57,910 --> 00:44:59,275
Do you remember?
- You can swear more, actually
842
00:44:59,310 --> 00:45:00,436
You can swear more, yeah
843
00:45:00,470 --> 00:45:02,791
Just try and do it privately
844
00:45:04,150 --> 00:45:05,481
I won't do it now.
845
00:45:06,510 --> 00:45:09,639
In America though they call you
Dame Plowright don't they
846
00:45:09,670 --> 00:45:12,401
and Dame Smith and Dame Atkins?
847
00:45:12,430 --> 00:45:13,556
MAGGIE:
Mrs Dame.
848
00:45:13,590 --> 00:45:14,830
Mrs
849
00:45:15,630 --> 00:45:20,670
With John Standing,
when he went through an airport
850
00:45:20,710 --> 00:45:23,316
and they do all that thing
with your passport.
851
00:45:23,350 --> 00:45:26,797
And my gm an mm.
“Haw me my "
852
00:45:27,350 --> 00:45:29,591
cause he is a Baron
853
00:45:31,550 --> 00:45:34,076
'Have a nice day, Baron.'
I said what is that about?
854
00:45:36,790 --> 00:45:39,191
EILEEN: What are you supposed
to say to a Baron? I don't...
855
00:45:39,230 --> 00:45:40,834
'Have a nice day,' I guess
856
00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:46,518
INTERVIEWER: Did any of you
consider not being a Dame
857
00:45:46,550 --> 00:45:47,836
when you were offered?
858
00:45:47,870 --> 00:45:48,996
EILEEN: Yes.
859
00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:50,634
The letter had got lost in the post.
860
00:45:51,230 --> 00:45:55,360
So I suddenly got a phone call saying
'Are you or are you not?
861
00:45:55,390 --> 00:45:57,358
What is your answer?
We haven't received it.
862
00:45:59,710 --> 00:46:01,360
And so she told me over the phone
863
00:46:01,390 --> 00:46:06,521
and I said 'Oh, oh, I don't
I don't know what to do.
864
00:46:06,550 --> 00:46:07,756
I don't know what to say '
865
00:46:08,790 --> 00:46:10,997
And she said,
I just remember her saying
866
00:46:11,030 --> 00:46:12,714
Oh, do say yes
867
00:46:13,350 --> 00:46:14,317
Do say yes
868
00:46:14,350 --> 00:46:16,717
But then I asked for some time
to think about it.
869
00:46:17,390 --> 00:46:18,596
I don't know.
870
00:46:18,630 --> 00:46:20,473
And then I was as pleased as punch
that I did it.
871
00:46:21,470 --> 00:46:23,518
OFFICIAL: The most excellent Order
of the British Empire
872
00:46:23,550 --> 00:46:25,917
to be a Dame Commander
Civil Division.
873
00:46:26,430 --> 00:46:29,957
Dame Eileen Atkins,
for services to drama.
874
00:46:31,230 --> 00:46:34,040
MAGGIE: I was just so thrilled
that my father was alive.
875
00:46:34,630 --> 00:46:38,157
But that's mostly the point, isn't it?
- EILEEN: Yes.
876
00:46:39,030 --> 00:46:45,436
MAGGIE: It's for other people who've
helped and got you where you are.
877
00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:47,321
It's not really you
878
00:46:51,550 --> 00:46:54,076
OFFICIAL: The order of the Companions
of Honour
879
00:46:54,910 --> 00:46:56,241
to be a member
880
00:46:56,630 --> 00:46:59,998
Dame Maggie Smith,
for services to drama.
881
00:47:04,950 --> 00:47:07,760
I think it's much nicer being a Lady
882
00:47:07,790 --> 00:47:09,952
which you were before
being a Dame.
883
00:47:09,990 --> 00:47:13,358
Well, darling it's quite difficult
when you've got two titles
884
00:47:13,750 --> 00:47:15,718
People don't know which to use.
885
00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:17,752
You'll have to grapple with it, Joan.
886
00:47:17,790 --> 00:47:19,280
THEY LAUGH
887
00:47:19,310 --> 00:47:21,916
MAGGIE: It's so much nicer to be
Lady somebody than Dame.
888
00:47:21,950 --> 00:47:23,156
JOAN:
Oh, darling, is it?
889
00:47:23,190 --> 00:47:26,592
Now I'm not sure about titles
at all, really.
890
00:47:27,310 --> 00:47:31,634
I have a feeling that Russia's way
of calling you a People's Artist.
891
00:47:32,390 --> 00:47:34,757
But you accepted it.
892
00:47:34,790 --> 00:47:37,270
I did, because everybody else had.
893
00:47:38,430 --> 00:47:39,795
Did you feel left out?
894
00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:47,674
Well, it's a kind of an acceptance
isn't it, of work achieved.
895
00:47:49,790 --> 00:47:54,751
OFFICIAL: Dame Joan Plowright
for services to drama.
896
00:47:58,910 --> 00:48:02,232
I remember Joan saying
on Tea with
Mussolini
897
00:48:02,270 --> 00:48:03,760
they said something like Dames
898
00:48:03,790 --> 00:48:07,920
and Joanie said 'No, one Lady, two Dames'
899
00:48:07,950 --> 00:48:09,634
I remember that very well.
900
00:48:12,350 --> 00:48:15,991
Walking the streets of Rome
trying to find a hotel.
901
00:48:16,630 --> 00:48:17,995
I'll never forget it.
902
00:48:18,030 --> 00:48:19,111
MAGGIE:
Oh, that was wonderful.
903
00:48:19,150 --> 00:48:22,791
JUDI: And we got into the hotel,
and you were shown to your room.
904
00:48:22,830 --> 00:48:25,151
And somebody was showing me
to my room.
905
00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:26,635
This can't be right.
906
00:48:26,670 --> 00:48:29,480
And as I got to my room
you appeared around the corner.
907
00:48:29,510 --> 00:48:31,956
You said 'We're not stopping here
it's a knocking shop.'
908
00:48:31,990 --> 00:48:33,515
MAGGIE:
It's a knocking shop' yes.
909
00:48:33,550 --> 00:48:36,076
And it was 12.30 in the morning
I'll never forget it.
910
00:48:36,110 --> 00:48:37,999
And nor did we stay there.
911
00:48:38,030 --> 00:48:40,237
And we all landed up together,
didn't we.
912
00:48:40,270 --> 00:48:44,992
Yeah, well, we went... you and I went
along to the Grand, and I said...
913
00:48:45,030 --> 00:48:47,112
JUDI:
You went round the whole of Rome.
914
00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:50,154
No, but Joan asked...
you asked at the Grand...
915
00:48:50,190 --> 00:48:51,555
Do you have any rooms?'
916
00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:55,439
And he said
Madam, we have 150 rooms
917
00:48:57,430 --> 00:48:58,397
- JUDII
We did.
918
00:48:58,910 --> 00:49:00,321
We went to the Eden
919
00:49:00,350 --> 00:49:03,194
and do you remember
in the bar at the top
920
00:49:03,230 --> 00:49:05,517
you weren't allowed to eat there?
921
00:49:05,550 --> 00:49:09,032
We used to go and have drinks
and drink a whole bottle of Prosecco.
922
00:49:09,070 --> 00:49:10,310
Mm W mm"
923
00:49:10,350 --> 00:49:11,715
Yes, and then try and guess
where our rooms were.
924
00:49:11,750 --> 00:49:13,036
THEY LAUGH
925
00:49:17,750 --> 00:49:19,752
Oh, well, we're not supposed
to be talking about that.
926
00:49:19,790 --> 00:49:22,794
No, we're not supposed to be talking
about things like that.
927
00:49:24,630 --> 00:49:25,995
INTERVIEWER
Reviews'?
928
00:49:26,030 --> 00:49:27,520
You don't read them.
929
00:49:28,110 --> 00:49:29,521
JUDI:
You certainly don't read them.
930
00:49:29,550 --> 00:49:31,040
Somebody will always tell you
won't they?
931
00:49:31,070 --> 00:49:33,437
Oh, yeah. Particularly if it's dreadful.
932
00:49:34,270 --> 00:49:35,954
Caryl Brahms
years and years ago
933
00:49:35,990 --> 00:49:37,719
JUDI: I was just going to say
Caryl Brahms.
934
00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:40,913
...came up to me at
a party when I was about early 20s
935
00:49:40,950 --> 00:49:44,238
and said 'I'm so sorry I had
to be so cruel to you.'
936
00:49:45,110 --> 00:49:47,920
And I hadn't known, and I didn't know
what she was talking about.
937
00:49:47,950 --> 00:49:50,317
Of course, that was the nicest way
I could have answered her.
938
00:49:50,350 --> 00:49:51,840
I mean,
it was a good thrust back.
939
00:49:51,910 --> 00:49:53,560
I said 'I'm sorry, I don't know
what you're talking about.'
940
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:54,876
Yes, quite right
941
00:49:54,910 --> 00:49:57,880
But it was genuine, I didn't know
what she was talking about.
942
00:49:57,910 --> 00:49:59,150
And after that I thought
943
00:49:59,190 --> 00:50:01,431
Oh, you must check up on
what's said about you.'
944
00:50:01,470 --> 00:50:03,120
JUDI:
Well, I think that's not wise.
945
00:50:03,830 --> 00:50:05,275
Madam, I'm here.
946
00:50:05,310 --> 00:50:06,311
What is your will?
947
00:50:07,550 --> 00:50:08,995
JUDI:
She said about me as Juliet
948
00:50:09,030 --> 00:50:10,031
she said, 'A good try
949
00:50:10,070 --> 00:50:12,437
but Rosalind lden should
have been playing the part
950
00:50:12,470 --> 00:50:13,471
THEY LAUGH
951
00:50:13,510 --> 00:50:15,478
JOAN:
Oh, well, off the mark!
952
00:50:15,510 --> 00:50:17,512
MAGGIE: Who said that?
- Caryl Brahms.
953
00:50:18,750 --> 00:50:22,197
It's funny isn't it how, that is 1960
954
00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:25,074
It's funny now isn't it that you
should remember it then.
955
00:50:25,110 --> 00:50:27,397
EILEEN:
You remember the bad ones if...
956
00:50:27,430 --> 00:50:29,717
Yes. Best just not read it.
957
00:50:29,750 --> 00:50:31,036
You kind of know.
958
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:35,560
INTERVIEWER: Talk more about
getting old, if you will.
959
00:50:35,590 --> 00:50:37,797
You all seem terribly young.
- I thought we were acting it quite well.
960
00:50:37,830 --> 00:50:39,673
JUDI: Fuck off, Roger
- THEY LAUGH
961
00:50:39,710 --> 00:50:41,394
Frankly
962
00:50:41,430 --> 00:50:44,036
Let's say it's a good job
I've got hearing aids in
963
00:50:44,070 --> 00:50:45,037
and I can hear what you say
because“.
964
00:50:45,070 --> 00:50:46,231
MAGGIE
And me.
965
00:50:46,270 --> 00:50:48,716
Hands up who hasn't got
hearing aids here?
966
00:50:48,750 --> 00:50:50,593
You need to get them.
- I do need to get them.
967
00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:52,917
You need to get them, Jude!
968
00:50:54,710 --> 00:50:57,520
JOAN: And then there is
the question of sight loss.
969
00:50:57,550 --> 00:50:58,961
Well done.
970
00:50:58,990 --> 00:51:01,561
Have we got three eyes
between us all?
971
00:51:01,590 --> 00:51:03,592
But I'm saying something
about“...
972
00:51:03,630 --> 00:51:06,839
oh, well we could give these
things round to read.
973
00:51:06,870 --> 00:51:12,320
Or no, Roger said that, and I said,
'ls there nobody who can read?
974
00:51:12,350 --> 00:51:13,590
Who can read
975
00:51:14,990 --> 00:51:18,039
Judi said she's got to have
a huge print.
976
00:51:18,070 --> 00:51:19,310
I've got huge print
977
00:51:19,350 --> 00:51:20,840
Do you find though that...
978
00:51:21,390 --> 00:51:23,154
do you know what I really
don't like?
979
00:51:24,230 --> 00:51:29,760
That people, after a certain age go
can't... I want to say...
980
00:51:30,990 --> 00:51:33,561
if I can't do it,
I'll tell you that I can't do it.
981
00:51:33,590 --> 00:51:36,833
I mean, warn me about steps
and things but, you know...
982
00:51:38,230 --> 00:51:41,313
There's a very, very delicate line
because you need help,
983
00:51:41,350 --> 00:51:42,476
you need help.
984
00:51:42,510 --> 00:51:49,678
But it's like when I was stung
on the bum by a hornet, last year
985
00:51:49,710 --> 00:51:51,712
Oh, yes, and that awful... yes, say.
986
00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:55,641
And somebody, a paramedic
walked into the room
987
00:51:56,110 --> 00:51:57,600
who was about 17
988
00:51:57,630 --> 00:51:59,200
and he said 'What's our name?'
989
00:51:59,990 --> 00:52:01,037
JOAN
Oh!
990
00:52:01,070 --> 00:52:02,515
So I said...
SHE CLEARS THROAT
991
00:52:03,470 --> 00:52:05,279
'Judi, my name's Judi '
992
00:52:05,310 --> 00:52:06,914
And he said,
And have we got a carer'?
993
00:52:06,950 --> 00:52:09,715
And I blew my top
994
00:52:10,310 --> 00:52:11,755
I blew my top
995
00:52:12,590 --> 00:52:14,433
I'm afraid, I completely blew it.
996
00:52:15,230 --> 00:52:16,356
I mean, I would tell you what I said.
997
00:52:16,390 --> 00:52:18,870
You can't probably say it
I said 'You fuck off'.
998
00:52:18,910 --> 00:52:21,959
I said 'I've just done eight weeks
in The Winter's Tale
999
00:52:21,990 --> 00:52:23,515
at the Garrick Theatre!' I said.
1000
00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:25,912
THEY LAUGH
1001
00:52:26,790 --> 00:52:28,713
I was so angry.
1002
00:52:28,750 --> 00:52:30,320
That's the kind of thing.
1003
00:52:31,350 --> 00:52:33,159
Have we got a carer?'
1004
00:52:34,150 --> 00:52:36,152
What's our name?'
- MAGGIE: I know.
1005
00:52:36,190 --> 00:52:38,238
That doesn't change, does it?
1006
00:52:38,270 --> 00:52:40,671
That doesn't change somebody
'What's your name?'
1007
00:52:40,710 --> 00:52:43,475
If you want somebody to say that,
you say, you know
1008
00:52:43,510 --> 00:52:45,717
you don't put in a
kind of person that's...
1009
00:52:45,750 --> 00:52:47,991
an invisible person
who's standing next to you.
1010
00:52:49,950 --> 00:52:52,954
I don't like it when people
ask if you've sorted your funeral out.
1011
00:52:53,510 --> 00:52:54,557
EILEEN:
Oh, Lord.
1012
00:52:54,590 --> 00:52:55,955
Do you remember,
Miriam asked you that?
1013
00:52:55,990 --> 00:52:58,834
Miriam Margolyes?
- JOAN: She'd got a lot to sort out.
1014
00:52:58,870 --> 00:53:00,281
Because she said she'd
sorted it all out
1015
00:53:00,310 --> 00:53:02,233
and knows exactly what she's going to do.
1016
00:53:02,270 --> 00:53:05,319
And then she'd said to you
'Have you, Jude?'
1017
00:53:05,350 --> 00:53:08,399
And you said 'No I have not '
And she said 'Why?'
1018
00:53:08,430 --> 00:53:10,239
And you said, 'Because I'm not going to die '
1019
00:53:10,510 --> 00:53:12,592
THEY LAUGH
1020
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:15,636
Which I know is true.
- Pathetic talk, isn't it?
1021
00:53:16,470 --> 00:53:18,359
It was a very chilling moment.
1022
00:53:20,430 --> 00:53:23,320
But she's got it all organised
and lots of people do.
1023
00:53:23,350 --> 00:53:26,718
EILEEN: And we don't.
- Shall we talk about something cheerier?
1024
00:53:26,750 --> 00:53:29,321
EILEEN: Yes, talk about
- JUDI: Yes.
1025
00:53:29,350 --> 00:53:30,590
I think so.
1026
00:53:31,070 --> 00:53:32,993
INTERVIEWER:
OK, here's something cheerier.
1027
00:53:33,030 --> 00:53:34,873
Can you talk about working
with your husbands?
1028
00:53:37,670 --> 00:53:39,513
Well, there's a dead silence there.
1029
00:53:41,070 --> 00:53:42,720
I'm just trying to think which one?
1030
00:53:42,750 --> 00:53:43,990
Which one?
1031
00:53:46,990 --> 00:53:49,118
Well, obviously mine was
the most difficult.
1032
00:53:50,390 --> 00:53:52,677
We all found him tricky
- Yeah.
1033
00:53:53,350 --> 00:53:55,796
It wasn't just you, Joan
1034
00:53:56,390 --> 00:53:57,721
THEY LAUGH
1035
00:53:57,750 --> 00:53:59,514
JOAN:
You weren't in the same position.
1036
00:53:59,550 --> 00:54:00,676
MAGGIE: No.
1037
00:54:04,830 --> 00:54:06,912
JOAN:
George Bean came and said
1038
00:54:06,950 --> 00:54:08,873
Look, we would like you
to play Jean Rice.'
1039
00:54:10,830 --> 00:54:13,754
Of course the lure of his name too.
1040
00:54:13,790 --> 00:54:19,479
Except you knew you couldn't
make much of a show on your own
1041
00:54:19,510 --> 00:54:23,879
and of course, the part wasn't
anything that was to shout about
1042
00:54:24,590 --> 00:54:26,240
but you'd be on stage
with somebody
1043
00:54:26,270 --> 00:54:28,591
who everybody will be looking at
not looking at you.
1044
00:54:29,830 --> 00:54:34,074
But, the lure of just being on
the same page
1045
00:54:34,110 --> 00:54:36,681
of a programme was great
1046
00:54:37,910 --> 00:54:40,311
Hey, tell me something, will you?
1047
00:54:41,510 --> 00:54:43,831
I want you to tell me something
- Mm.
1048
00:54:45,270 --> 00:54:50,356
Well, what would you say
to a man of my age
1049
00:54:52,630 --> 00:54:58,353
marrying a girl of about your age?
1050
00:54:59,670 --> 00:55:00,910
Oh, Dad.
1051
00:55:02,710 --> 00:55:03,632
You're not serious
1052
00:55:04,390 --> 00:55:06,074
JOAN:
It was momentous...
1053
00:55:07,630 --> 00:55:09,473
Earth shattering for me.
1054
00:55:10,910 --> 00:55:12,878
A very, very strange experience.
1055
00:55:13,790 --> 00:55:17,681
Although it was a great privilege
to share in his life
1056
00:55:18,350 --> 00:55:24,198
as well as it being, you know,
a bit of a nightmare sometimes.
1057
00:55:24,310 --> 00:55:25,675
You married Sir Laurence Olivier
1058
00:55:25,710 --> 00:55:27,599
just before he started
the National Theatre
1059
00:55:27,630 --> 00:55:29,997
and your career since then has
been very tied up
1060
00:55:30,030 --> 00:55:31,111
with the National Theatre
- Yes.
1061
00:55:31,150 --> 00:55:32,993
Do you feel because of that,
and because of the marriage
1062
00:55:33,030 --> 00:55:35,397
that you have lost opportunities
that you might have had otherwise
1063
00:55:35,430 --> 00:55:37,080
in other forms of theatre?
1064
00:55:38,750 --> 00:55:40,036
Well...
1065
00:55:40,830 --> 00:55:42,036
That's a
1066
00:55:42,750 --> 00:55:45,959
That's a very difficult question
to answer, Sheridan
1067
00:55:45,990 --> 00:55:47,480
because
1068
00:55:48,830 --> 00:55:49,797
You know
1069
00:55:53,350 --> 00:55:57,912
The actual burden of going on,
knowing that, you know
1070
00:55:57,950 --> 00:56:00,874
those who don't really go for you
1071
00:56:00,910 --> 00:56:02,878
are going to say,
Well, of course, you know
1072
00:56:03,310 --> 00:56:05,551
it's her husband
who put her up in it.
1073
00:56:05,590 --> 00:56:09,390
That was my sort of burden.
1074
00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:13,436
This is good news.
1075
00:56:14,390 --> 00:56:15,755
The best you have given me yet
1076
00:56:16,430 --> 00:56:19,513
I wish you joy of it, if you find it so.
1077
00:56:19,830 --> 00:56:21,753
EILEEN:
I don't remember working... Oh, yes,
1078
00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:25,281
It was perfectly alright working
with my first husband
1079
00:56:25,310 --> 00:56:27,472
and my second one wasn't
an actor so...
1080
00:56:28,510 --> 00:56:29,352
Snap.
1081
00:56:35,830 --> 00:56:38,037
INTERVIEWER: What about
working with Robert, Maggie?
1082
00:56:38,070 --> 00:56:40,391
Well, that, yeah,
well, that was tricky.
1083
00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:47,276
A lot of times it was fine,
but then it really got very tricky
1084
00:56:47,310 --> 00:56:52,350
because he was not a well man
and that was hard
1085
00:56:52,390 --> 00:56:54,836
because you didn't know if
somebody was coming on stage
1086
00:56:54,870 --> 00:56:57,271
or if they were indeed,
what state they'd be in.
1087
00:56:58,510 --> 00:56:59,796
Do you want a cocktail?
1088
00:56:59,830 --> 00:57:00,956
There are two here
1089
00:57:01,990 --> 00:57:03,754
There are two over here as well
1090
00:57:04,350 --> 00:57:05,761
We'll have my two first.
1091
00:57:07,470 --> 00:57:09,791
Shall we get roaring, screaming drunk?
1092
00:57:09,830 --> 00:57:11,275
I don't think that would help.
1093
00:57:11,310 --> 00:57:13,358
We tried it once before
and it was dismal failure.
1094
00:57:13,390 --> 00:57:15,199
It was lovely at the beginning.
1095
00:57:15,550 --> 00:57:18,235
You have an immoral memory,
Amanda.
1096
00:57:18,990 --> 00:57:19,991
Here's to you
1097
00:57:21,590 --> 00:57:25,914
A lot of it was
very, very merry and lovely.
1098
00:57:27,270 --> 00:57:29,750
So I shall remember those bits.
1099
00:57:29,790 --> 00:57:31,758
JOAN: Yes, because
you were a golden couple.
1100
00:57:31,790 --> 00:57:34,157
We were a golden couple
- JUDI: You were.
1101
00:57:35,390 --> 00:57:39,031
Come back Jean, I need you.
1102
00:57:49,590 --> 00:57:52,196
INTERVIEWER: Judi, will you talk
a little bit about working with Michael?
1103
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:55,271
Mm...
1104
00:57:59,670 --> 00:58:01,001
Y, nnn
1105
00:58:02,310 --> 00:58:04,836
MAGGIE:
How long did The
Fine Romance
1106
00:58:04,870 --> 00:58:06,599
and things like that,
how long did all those go on?
1107
00:58:06,630 --> 00:58:08,075
JUDI:
Oh, ages and ages and ages
1108
00:58:08,110 --> 00:58:09,521
JUDI:
This is a
fine romance
1109
00:58:12,710 --> 00:58:14,235
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
1110
00:58:14,270 --> 00:58:15,556
Ow, that was my head!
1111
00:58:17,870 --> 00:58:19,554
JUDI:
Working with Mike
1112
00:58:19,590 --> 00:58:22,878
oh, we had the most wonderful time,
but he used to laugh.
1113
00:58:22,910 --> 00:58:24,480
Mikey was a terror.
1114
00:58:24,510 --> 00:58:27,116
I mean, I'm bad at corpsing
Mikey was very bad at it.
1115
00:58:29,070 --> 00:58:31,437
We did a
play called A Pack Of Lies
1116
00:58:32,670 --> 00:58:36,720
There was a long scene,
where Richard Vernon had to say...
1117
00:58:38,790 --> 00:58:40,280
Have you noticed a Vauxhall car
1118
00:58:41,910 --> 00:58:44,754
@@ lmMlmE=>@lf AW fl?“
1119
00:58:48,830 --> 00:58:50,355
And he said one day to us...
1120
00:58:51,670 --> 00:58:54,719
Have you noticed a Vauxhall car?
1121
00:58:55,870 --> 00:58:57,201
Registration number...
1122
00:58:59,510 --> 00:59:01,035
F1U1I2?“
1123
00:59:04,150 --> 00:59:05,834
We had to almost stop the play
1124
00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:10,151
INTERVIEWER:
Are you all going to work forever?
1125
00:59:11,510 --> 00:59:13,956
Well, I don't suppose one can
but I'd like to.
1126
00:59:13,990 --> 00:59:15,674
Well, I would work forever if I'm asked.
1127
00:59:15,710 --> 00:59:16,871
If we're asked.
1128
00:59:16,910 --> 00:59:18,639
If we're asked
- What?
1129
00:59:18,670 --> 00:59:21,401
If we're asked. We're going to
work forever if we're asked.
1130
00:59:21,430 --> 00:59:24,115
MAGGIE: But you're always
asked first, if I may say so.
1131
00:59:24,150 --> 00:59:27,154
No, don't turn.
- I'm turning on you now.
1132
00:59:28,350 --> 00:59:29,681
It's all coming out now.
1133
00:59:29,710 --> 00:59:31,121
One of my hearing aids has gone.
1134
00:59:31,150 --> 00:59:32,481
What were we just talking about?
1135
00:59:32,510 --> 00:59:33,921
Do you want one of mine?
- What?
1136
00:59:33,950 --> 00:59:35,440
Do you want one of mine?
1137
00:59:36,470 --> 00:59:37,676
No, it won't fit.
1138
00:59:38,030 --> 00:59:40,192
It's just what was
the last thing said?
1139
00:59:40,230 --> 00:59:42,312
JUDI: Are we going to go on
working forever Joan?
1140
00:59:42,350 --> 00:59:43,636
Oh, was that it?
1141
00:59:44,350 --> 00:59:48,480
And I said Jude gets all
the parts first, but we know that.
1142
00:59:48,510 --> 00:59:49,841
Oh, yeah, I tell you.
1143
00:59:49,870 --> 00:59:54,512
My agent in America said to me,
when he knew I couldn't do very much
1144
00:59:54,550 --> 00:59:56,154
because of the eyesight going.
1145
00:59:56,190 --> 00:59:59,592
And he said 'Well, if you do want
to come over again
1146
00:59:59,630 --> 01:00:03,715
we'll look around for a nice
little cameo that Judi Dench
1147
01:00:03,750 --> 01:00:05,559
hasn't got her paws on '
1148
01:00:05,590 --> 01:00:07,194
THEY LAUGH
1149
01:00:07,230 --> 01:00:08,595
How rude.
1150
01:00:08,630 --> 01:00:10,712
It's not rude at all.
- It's very, very rude.
1151
01:00:10,750 --> 01:00:13,481
Well, that's America
that's how they talk.
1152
01:00:15,870 --> 01:00:18,555
Why does every day involve
a fight with an American?
1153
01:00:33,270 --> 01:00:36,353
MAGGIE: I used to find the most
exhausting thing wearing those hats.
1154
01:00:37,590 --> 01:00:39,911
They're the heaviest things
in the world.
1155
01:00:39,950 --> 01:00:44,512
I had a hat,
it was like the Albert Hall.
1156
01:00:44,550 --> 01:00:48,077
It was this huge and so heavy.
1157
01:00:48,870 --> 01:00:52,158
I said please take it off
please take it off.
1158
01:00:52,590 --> 01:00:54,319
How many episodes were there?
1159
01:00:54,350 --> 01:00:55,875
I mean how many series?
Three?
1160
01:00:55,910 --> 01:00:57,674
I don't know. I don't know.
1161
01:00:57,710 --> 01:00:58,950
No, I think there was more.
1162
01:01:00,790 --> 01:01:02,474
I don't know, I haven't seen it.
1163
01:01:03,470 --> 01:01:04,995
I haven't seen it yet.
1164
01:01:06,190 --> 01:01:07,954
But they gave me a box set.
1165
01:01:07,990 --> 01:01:10,197
What?
- They gave me a box set.
1166
01:01:10,830 --> 01:01:12,275
But I haven't got time.
1167
01:01:12,830 --> 01:01:16,437
I shall have to hasten,
because I won't last long enough
1168
01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:18,154
to see the wretched thing, will I'?
1169
01:01:23,030 --> 01:01:26,512
INTERVIEWER: So, was Mrs
Brown
your first queen on film?
1170
01:01:27,270 --> 01:01:31,673
Mrs
Brown must have been
the first time, yes I played a queen.
1171
01:01:31,710 --> 01:01:33,712
I leave for Deeside
- The Queen forbids it.
1172
01:01:33,950 --> 01:01:37,477
JUDI:
And that really changed my career.
1173
01:01:38,150 --> 01:01:39,436
MAGGIE:
Mrs Brown?
1174
01:01:39,470 --> 01:01:42,758
Yeah, because I wasn't asked
to do anything in films.
1175
01:01:42,790 --> 01:01:45,555
I'd done a few films before that,
but very, very little.
1176
01:01:47,630 --> 01:01:49,041
Now they never stop
1177
01:01:49,070 --> 01:01:54,201
Without you I cannot find the strength
to be who I must be.
1178
01:01:56,790 --> 01:01:57,951
We-ass
1179
01:02:02,510 --> 01:02:05,241
INTERVIEWER: Can you talk about
being on really big film sets?
1180
01:02:05,750 --> 01:02:07,400
Like huge film sets?
1181
01:02:07,430 --> 01:02:10,115
Like the Bond film set or Harry Potter'?
1182
01:02:11,590 --> 01:02:13,558
As for you two gentlemen
1183
01:02:13,590 --> 01:02:16,116
I just hope you realise
how fortunate you are.
1184
01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:19,312
Not many first year students
could take on
1185
01:02:19,350 --> 01:02:22,081
a fully grown mountain troll
and live to tell the tale.
1186
01:02:22,950 --> 01:02:28,400
MAGGIE: Actually Alan Hickman and I
we just ran out of reaction shots.
1187
01:02:29,270 --> 01:02:31,591
Because they would always
shoot on the children first
1188
01:02:31,630 --> 01:02:32,791
not surprisingly
1189
01:02:32,830 --> 01:02:34,798
And then they turn round
and we'd be going...
1190
01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:39,316
Or listening, you know,
and it's absolutely extraordinary.
1191
01:02:39,350 --> 01:02:40,840
Who's this one here?
1192
01:02:40,950 --> 01:02:42,111
CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS
1193
01:02:44,910 --> 01:02:46,321
I was just surprised
1194
01:02:46,350 --> 01:02:48,034
I thought that was part of
Harry Potter.
1195
01:02:48,070 --> 01:02:49,595
He did it really, really well
1196
01:02:50,750 --> 01:02:52,115
Are you a camera?
1197
01:02:52,150 --> 01:02:54,039
INTERVIEWER: You've met before
- I know.
1198
01:02:54,070 --> 01:02:55,481
We met yesterday
1199
01:02:55,950 --> 01:02:59,591
But you're always in the scene.
1200
01:03:01,670 --> 01:03:03,877
Would you like to come
and sit here?
1201
01:03:05,150 --> 01:03:07,960
I'm suddenly sort of aware
that you're there
1202
01:03:07,990 --> 01:03:09,640
more than anybody else.
1203
01:03:09,670 --> 01:03:10,717
MAN:
Would you like me to move?
1204
01:03:10,750 --> 01:03:12,240
I would love it if you moved.
1205
01:03:17,590 --> 01:03:20,833
I honestly think you've taken
an awful lot of photographs.
1206
01:03:20,870 --> 01:03:22,235
MAN:
Yes,lhave.
1207
01:03:22,270 --> 01:03:24,318
Yes.
- INTERVIEWER: It is his job to do that.
1208
01:03:24,350 --> 01:03:25,920
I know it is, darling, but
1209
01:03:27,110 --> 01:03:28,919
He's not going to be upset now?
1210
01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:30,031
MAN:
Of course not, no.
1211
01:03:30,070 --> 01:03:32,676
Look at him,
he's been there forever.
1212
01:03:32,710 --> 01:03:34,075
JUDI: He's going to go
and bang about a lot.
1213
01:03:34,110 --> 01:03:35,600
MAGGIE:
We've got quite enough here.
1214
01:03:37,430 --> 01:03:38,591
Oh.
1215
01:03:39,550 --> 01:03:41,040
For God's sake.
1216
01:03:42,870 --> 01:03:44,315
Just get out of the way
1217
01:03:45,110 --> 01:03:46,839
Don't you recognise the car?
- Madam.
1218
01:03:51,110 --> 01:03:52,600
MAGGIE:
Oh, talk about Bond.
1219
01:03:52,630 --> 01:03:54,792
I want to know how you do
covered in jewels.
1220
01:03:55,830 --> 01:03:57,355
I was never covered in jewels.
1221
01:03:57,390 --> 01:03:58,755
After it you were.
1222
01:03:58,790 --> 01:04:01,111
Afterwards, did you say?
1223
01:04:02,630 --> 01:04:04,712
JUDI:
It was Michael really who said...
1224
01:04:04,750 --> 01:04:07,913
because when I was asked to do it
I was kind of really taken aback
1225
01:04:07,950 --> 01:04:11,272
and Michael said 'I long to live
with a Bond woman,' he said.
1226
01:04:11,310 --> 01:04:13,881
'I long to, you have to do it '
1227
01:04:13,910 --> 01:04:16,481
My sons went to a little
preparatory school
1228
01:04:16,510 --> 01:04:17,955
not that far from here
1229
01:04:18,630 --> 01:04:21,201
where Kim Philby
was the main pupil.
1230
01:04:21,630 --> 01:04:23,120
JUDI:
Michael's hero.
1231
01:04:23,670 --> 01:04:24,876
MAGGIE:
Kim Philby?
1232
01:04:26,230 --> 01:04:29,120
JUDI: Have you ever seen
that bit of film with him
1233
01:04:29,150 --> 01:04:32,199
when he was suspected
of being a traitor
1234
01:04:32,230 --> 01:04:34,153
and he calls the press into his house?
1235
01:04:36,870 --> 01:04:38,395
REPORTER:
Well, if there was a third man
1236
01:04:38,430 --> 01:04:39,955
were you in fact the third man?
1237
01:04:39,990 --> 01:04:41,435
No, I was not.
1238
01:04:41,870 --> 01:04:43,076
REPORTER:
Do you think there was one?
1239
01:04:43,110 --> 01:04:44,236
No comment.
1240
01:04:45,390 --> 01:04:47,199
JUDI:
Every actor should look at that
1241
01:04:47,230 --> 01:04:48,072
MAGGIE
I know.
1242
01:04:48,110 --> 01:04:49,191
Because
1243
01:04:49,830 --> 01:04:54,313
Because, I mean, you cannot begin
to think for a minute
1244
01:04:54,350 --> 01:04:55,920
that he's lying
- I know.
1245
01:04:55,950 --> 01:04:58,521
And it was in his mother's flat
wasn't it?
1246
01:04:58,550 --> 01:05:01,235
JUDI: I think it was
- Mum was there
1247
01:05:01,270 --> 01:05:02,396
listening to all the lies.
1248
01:05:02,430 --> 01:05:04,717
And you think, of course
don't be so stupid
1249
01:05:04,750 --> 01:05:07,913
of course he's not duplicitous
in any way whatsoever.
1250
01:05:08,990 --> 01:05:10,230
Good, good acting
1251
01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:11,791
Good spying.
1252
01:05:13,030 --> 01:05:15,397
INTERVIEWER: Fear is a common
threat over the last two days.
1253
01:05:15,790 --> 01:05:16,712
Fear.
1254
01:05:16,750 --> 01:05:18,514
Fear is petrol.
- INTERVIEWER: It's the payoff.
1255
01:05:18,550 --> 01:05:19,881
Fear is petrol
- Yes.
1256
01:05:19,910 --> 01:05:21,560
Talk about that. That's amazing
- Fear.
1257
01:05:21,590 --> 01:05:22,671
Fear is what?
1258
01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:24,235
Fear is the petrol, isn't it?
1259
01:05:25,110 --> 01:05:29,001
Fear, you know, it generates
such an energy, fear
1260
01:05:29,030 --> 01:05:30,156
being frightened
- Yes.
1261
01:05:31,030 --> 01:05:33,954
That if you can somehow channel it
it can be a help.
1262
01:05:35,950 --> 01:05:36,872
INTERVIEWER
Really good.
1263
01:05:37,510 --> 01:05:38,750
OK, end board
1264
01:05:39,590 --> 01:05:42,480
I'm so sorry we are
very, very tired.
1265
01:05:42,510 --> 01:05:48,199
You know, so you have...
they've told you how old we are
1266
01:05:48,230 --> 01:05:49,072
haven't they?
1267
01:05:49,110 --> 01:05:50,475
INTERVI EWER:
I've been informed.
1268
01:05:50,510 --> 01:05:53,957
Nobody's told how old.
I'm not telling anybody.
1269
01:05:57,670 --> 01:05:59,752
INDISTINCT CHATTER
1270
01:06:10,870 --> 01:06:13,111
Do you think we ought to have
a glass of Champagne
1271
01:06:13,150 --> 01:06:14,311
round this one?
1272
01:06:14,350 --> 01:06:16,352
God, I could kill it
- Yes.
1273
01:06:16,390 --> 01:06:18,597
I think it's far too late.
1274
01:06:18,630 --> 01:06:21,600
Why didn't anybody think
of that a few hours ago?
1275
01:06:25,310 --> 01:06:28,359
Dame Ede had speaking teeth
and eating teeth.
1276
01:06:29,830 --> 01:06:32,310
And she used to go home
with her speaking teeth in
1277
01:06:32,350 --> 01:06:33,954
am when ph@1m@ am my
1278
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:37,915
'You'll have to go and get my teeth
because I'm very hungry.'
1279
01:06:39,470 --> 01:06:41,199
She'd left them in
the dressing room?
1280
01:06:41,230 --> 01:06:43,881
Yes. So Diggy had to go and get them
from the dressing room...
1281
01:06:43,910 --> 01:06:45,833
Teeth? Did you say teeth?
1282
01:06:45,870 --> 01:06:48,874
She used to have speaking teeth
and eating teeth.
1283
01:06:49,950 --> 01:06:51,475
EILEEN:
And we think we're in trouble.
1284
01:06:51,510 --> 01:06:53,672
I mean, two lots of teeth
- MAGGIE: I know!
1285
01:06:54,830 --> 01:06:56,912
A handing?
1286
01:06:57,230 --> 01:07:00,359
She was always saying
'I am so lonely.'
1287
01:07:00,790 --> 01:07:02,315
Well, I know the feeling.
1288
01:07:03,150 --> 01:07:04,515
Don't you?
- Yeah.
1289
01:07:04,550 --> 01:07:06,040
Yes.
- But I...
1290
01:07:06,070 --> 01:07:08,232
But now, this is what I'm saying
the awful thing is...
1291
01:07:08,990 --> 01:07:12,312
I used to think awful things
about Dame Ede.
1292
01:07:12,350 --> 01:07:14,318
JOAN: Yeah.
- And I don't now.
1293
01:07:14,910 --> 01:07:16,639
CORK POPS
- JUDI: Oh, my goodness.
1294
01:07:17,190 --> 01:07:18,555
MAGGIE:
Are we doing anything?
1295
01:07:19,430 --> 01:07:20,636
We're drinking Champagne.
1296
01:07:20,670 --> 01:07:22,911
It's always worrying when you see
these guys, so look at them
1297
01:07:23,510 --> 01:07:24,955
sneaking up on you
- Look, look, look.
1298
01:07:24,990 --> 01:07:25,957
We have to have a sip.
1299
01:07:26,710 --> 01:07:28,792
Listen, listen.
- Are we talking?
1300
01:07:30,110 --> 01:07:31,794
MAGGIE:
What would you like to talk about?
1301
01:07:31,830 --> 01:07:33,320
No, I meant are we on yet?
1302
01:07:33,350 --> 01:07:35,478
We're waiting for Roger to shout
- Are we on yet?
1303
01:07:35,510 --> 01:07:37,797
Yeah, they never stop
- They never stop.
1304
01:07:37,830 --> 01:07:39,514
Oh, they never stop?
- Cheers to everybody.
1305
01:07:39,550 --> 01:07:40,995
EILEEN: To us
- Thank you.
1306
01:07:41,030 --> 01:07:42,270
To you, everyone
1307
01:07:42,910 --> 01:07:44,639
What?
- You're not having any.
1308
01:07:46,630 --> 01:07:49,713
Who?
- We're drinking our Champagne, Joan.
1309
01:07:49,750 --> 01:07:50,956
Alright)'
1310
01:07:54,710 --> 01:07:57,953
INTERVIEWER: What would your
advice be to your young selves?
1311
01:07:58,710 --> 01:08:01,441
Oh... Christ.
1312
01:08:01,670 --> 01:08:03,001
II mum my...
1313
01:08:04,390 --> 01:08:11,672
Get in touch with yoga or mindfulness
at quite an early age.
1314
01:08:13,670 --> 01:08:15,638
And learn about the brain
1315
01:08:16,430 --> 01:08:20,321
and what influence it has
on the body.
1316
01:08:20,350 --> 01:08:26,232
All those things that I've come
to be interested in later on in life
1317
01:08:26,270 --> 01:08:28,477
and could have done with doing earlier.
1318
01:08:30,030 --> 01:08:32,192
And I think Joan kind of leads...
1319
01:08:35,750 --> 01:08:39,072
ls a version of mine,
which I would say not to be
1320
01:08:39,950 --> 01:08:44,797
so very bad tempered
and confrontational.
1321
01:08:46,990 --> 01:08:48,037
JOAN:
Mm-hm.
1322
01:08:48,990 --> 01:08:50,401
And listen more.
1323
01:08:55,430 --> 01:08:56,591
WM, me?
1324
01:08:56,630 --> 01:08:57,472
EILEEN
Yes.
1325
01:08:59,270 --> 01:09:00,874
Honest to God I don't know
1326
01:09:01,670 --> 01:09:03,832
because most likely I wouldn't
be listening.
1327
01:09:04,430 --> 01:09:08,992
But I would say, when in doubt
don't.
1328
01:09:09,830 --> 01:09:10,717
:
Hm.
1329
01:09:11,670 --> 01:09:13,115
EILEEN:
That's good
1330
01:09:13,150 --> 01:09:14,754
I think I would.
1331
01:09:14,790 --> 01:09:16,599
It should be a motto, that.
1332
01:09:16,630 --> 01:09:18,712
I wish I knew the Latin of it.
1333
01:09:19,430 --> 01:09:21,876
What, 'When in doubt'?
- When in doubt, don't.
1334
01:09:23,710 --> 01:09:24,871
Jude.
1335
01:09:27,150 --> 01:09:31,439
I would say, try not to be so
susceptible to falling in love.
1336
01:09:32,430 --> 01:09:34,797
Quite so pathetic.
1337
01:09:35,230 --> 01:09:36,595

BLEEN
Jude!
1339
01:09:42,310 --> 01:09:44,517
EILEEN:
No, be more susceptible.
1340
01:09:44,550 --> 01:09:45,551
No.
1341
01:09:46,310 --> 01:09:47,675
MAGGIE:
Less susceptible.
1342
01:09:51,550 --> 01:09:53,075
Well, whatever it is
1343
01:09:54,030 --> 01:09:55,441
it's too late.
1344
01:09:58,350 --> 01:10:00,114
What else? What else?
1345
01:10:00,150 --> 01:10:03,040
Somebody said it's too late.
- MAGGIE: I said it's too late.
1346
01:10:04,510 --> 01:10:06,114
Oh, it's never too late.
1347
01:10:06,150 --> 01:10:07,595
MAGGIE:
Oh, do stop, Joan.
1348
01:10:08,270 --> 01:10:10,637
You know it is.
- It's never too late to fall in love.
1349
01:10:16,350 --> 01:10:18,398
What is that out of'?
1350
01:10:18,430 --> 01:10:21,559
The Boyfriend?
-
The Salad Days, isn't
it?
1351
01:10:21,590 --> 01:10:23,752
Oh, is it The Boyfriend?
-
No, I
don't know.
1352
01:10:23,790 --> 01:10:25,713
JUDI:
I think The Boyfr/endit is, is it?

MUSIC: "Cello Suite No. 1"
by JS Bach
1354
01:10:28,710 --> 01:10:30,075
Oh, I'm so sorry.
1355
01:11:10,310 --> 01:11:14,315
You wrote criticisms of Laurence...
1356
01:11:15,670 --> 01:11:18,037
When you were at school,
you didn't think much of his...
1357
01:11:18,070 --> 01:11:20,198
Oh, I'd wrote to my parents, yes
1358
01:11:20,830 --> 01:11:22,958
He was Hamlet and...
1359
01:11:24,070 --> 01:11:26,437
yes, I had seen
Michael Redgrave first.
1360
01:11:29,470 --> 01:11:32,872
I wrote and said Laurence Olivier
was a bit ham.
1361
01:11:33,470 --> 01:11:35,199
Yeah.
- Hammy.
1362
01:11:35,230 --> 01:11:36,561
Did you ever tell him?
1363
01:11:36,910 --> 01:11:39,356
No, I didn't actually, no.
1364
01:11:40,230 --> 01:11:43,791
No, because, you know,
when you're in the throes of love
1365
01:11:43,830 --> 01:11:47,312
and swept off your feet, you don't
- No, I meant later, Joan.
1366
01:11:48,790 --> 01:11:51,521
I don't think I did later.
1367
01:11:52,470 --> 01:11:55,076
No, I'm sure I didn't.
1368
01:11:56,270 --> 01:11:57,874
JUDI:
Did you see him as Henry V?
1369
01:11:58,790 --> 01:12:01,111
I can remember being taken
in Plymouth to see it.
1370
01:12:03,790 --> 01:12:05,997
I just loved it.
I remember it so clearly.
1371
01:12:06,030 --> 01:12:08,192
I wrote to him apparently
1372
01:12:08,750 --> 01:12:12,960
and Tamsin found a school girl
diary of mine
1373
01:12:13,590 --> 01:12:16,639
which said,
Got a letter back from LO
1374
01:12:16,670 --> 01:12:19,355
You see, that's what I was saying
1375
01:12:19,390 --> 01:12:22,394
That's what you was saying
not writing to my parents.
1376
01:12:22,430 --> 01:12:23,636
MAGGIE
No.
1377
01:12:24,750 --> 01:12:25,751
Yes
1378
01:12:26,070 --> 01:12:29,119
That was saying how much
I'd loved it, of course.
1379
01:12:29,550 --> 01:12:31,040
JUDI:
Have you got the letter?
1380
01:12:31,070 --> 01:12:32,196
MAGGIE:
So it was a fan letter?
1381
01:12:32,230 --> 01:12:35,916
Yes, it was a fan letter
and I got this letter back
1382
01:12:35,950 --> 01:12:38,191
which I know now was
from Dorothy Welford.
1383
01:12:38,230 --> 01:12:39,470
THEY LAUGH
1384
01:12:39,510 --> 01:12:41,274
mm “
1385
01:12:42,870 --> 01:12:44,554
With a stamped
1386
01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:49,991
Which thousands of school girls got.
1387
01:12:52,470 --> 01:12:55,519
I know Maggie had a tough time
with him on occasions.
1388
01:12:55,550 --> 01:12:58,440
Well, we do know that
- Oh, no, come on.
1389
01:12:58,470 --> 01:13:00,552
No tougher than with a lot of actors.
1390
01:13:00,590 --> 01:13:03,480
No, you were also, you know...
1391
01:13:03,710 --> 01:13:07,760
my kids called on you when I was away
1392
01:13:07,790 --> 01:13:09,633
when he was suddenly taken ill again.
1393
01:13:10,190 --> 01:13:13,239
You came round and held his hand.
1394
01:13:13,270 --> 01:13:16,831
Yes.
- You did, in my absence
1395
01:13:16,870 --> 01:13:18,793
This hand held the hand.
1396
01:13:18,830 --> 01:13:20,514
JOAN LAUGHS
Yes.
1397
01:13:21,350 --> 01:13:24,593
EILEEN: I remember him saying to me,
I had a bit in Semi-Detached
1398
01:13:24,630 --> 01:13:27,873
where I had to go off stage,
run upstairs, run down again
1399
01:13:27,910 --> 01:13:29,196
and come on stage.
1400
01:13:29,230 --> 01:13:33,519
And he said to me,
'You're always a fraction late
1401
01:13:33,950 --> 01:13:36,032
And I said,
'Well, that's how long it takes me.
1402
01:13:36,070 --> 01:13:38,641
I do it as quickly as I can
to run up the stairs
1403
01:13:38,670 --> 01:13:40,274
outside the door and down again
1404
01:13:40,310 --> 01:13:43,314
And he said, 'My dear, it's an illusion.
1405
01:13:43,350 --> 01:13:46,160
You don't have to run up the stairs'.
1406
01:13:47,230 --> 01:13:51,554
I remember going to see a play
in New York with an English actor
1407
01:13:51,590 --> 01:13:55,151
when the notices had paid a lot of
attention to a great cry
1408
01:13:55,190 --> 01:13:57,397
he did at the end of the second act
or something
1409
01:13:57,430 --> 01:14:00,001
and the night we were there
it didn't happen
1410
01:14:00,030 --> 01:14:02,158
and we went round to see
him and said
1411
01:14:02,190 --> 01:14:03,680
you know, 'Where was it?'
1412
01:14:04,110 --> 01:14:06,511
He said 'I felt I couldn't reach it
1413
01:14:07,110 --> 01:14:09,636
and I didn't want to
give the audience a lie.
1414
01:14:10,990 --> 01:14:12,037
JUDI:
Oh my.
1415
01:14:12,070 --> 01:14:13,640
But then I said well, you know
1416
01:14:13,670 --> 01:14:15,991
'The whole thing from
beginning to end is a lie
1417
01:14:16,030 --> 01:14:19,034
After all, Hamlet does get up
and take a curtail call.
1418
01:14:20,030 --> 01:14:22,112
So there was a whole argument
going on then.
1419
01:14:23,510 --> 01:14:25,672
Oh, well, maybe you should just
try the cry
1420
01:14:25,710 --> 01:14:27,838
whether you're in the mood or not.
1421
01:14:27,870 --> 01:14:29,520
You should be in the mood
is the answer.
1422
01:14:29,550 --> 01:14:30,631
It's acting
1423
01:14:31,470 --> 01:14:32,960
You find the way
1424
01:14:32,990 --> 01:14:33,957
Yes
1425
01:14:35,030 --> 01:14:38,000
To make it happen
and appear spontaneous.
1426
01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:43,877
And that's the difference between
actual truth and illusion.
1427
01:14:47,790 --> 01:14:49,554
BIRDS SING OUTSIDE
1428
01:15:00,790 --> 01:15:01,871
mm.
1429
01:15:03,870 --> 01:15:05,281
I'm lost for words.
1430
01:15:05,310 --> 01:15:07,199
MAGGIE:
I have nothing left to say.

Our revels now are ended.
1440
01:16:45,830 --> 01:16:48,356
These our actors as I foretold you
1441
01:16:48,990 --> 01:16:52,631
were all spirits and are melted
into air?
1442
01:16:53,430 --> 01:16:55,159
Into thin air?
1443
01:16:56,670 --> 01:16:59,355
And like the baseless fabric
of this vision
1444
01:17:00,350 --> 01:17:02,512
the cloud-capped towers
1445
01:17:02,550 --> 01:17:06,236
the gorgeous palaces,
the solemn temples

the great globe itself
1447
01:17:08,630 --> 01:17:12,874
yea all which it inherit
shall dissolve.
1448
01:17:13,990 --> 01:17:17,551
And like this insubstantial
pageant faded

01:17:18,470 --> 01:17:21,235
leave not a rack behind.
1450
01:17:23,710 --> 01:17:26,281
We are such stuff as dreams
are made on
1451
01:17:27,790 --> 01:17:31,556
and our little life
is rounded with a sleep

the others to do this.

You swear?

01:17:48,230 --> 01:17:49,470
I swear.
