00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,280
And then of course,
Natasha went like that,

153
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,880
and then she spilt potatoes
onto my plate.

154
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,840
And then, of course, it was no good.

155
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,800
So then I thought that
I was converting this into acting.

156
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:08,000
So I went down into myself,
if you will.

157
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,320
So I went down into myself,
if you will.

158
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:15,360
But in fact, that was just...
Because the camera kept passing.

159
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:16,000
Then we heard a voice, didn't we?
Saying, "Mr. Branagh,

160
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,640
Then we heard a voice, didn't we?
Saying, "Mr. Branagh,

161
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:21,960
Miss Dench,
you may leave the studio."

162
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000
Yes. And don't come back.
We were... And we were sent away.

163
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:24,960
Yes. And don't come back.
We were... And we were sent away.

164
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,120
We were sent away. Didn't work
for the rest of the day.

165
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:31,240
Very, very disappointing, we were.
We hadn't just let the play down.

166
00:06:31,280 --> 00:06:32,000
We'd let the whole school down.
We had.

167
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,040
We'd let the whole school down.
We had.

168
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,520
Did it ever appear, Ghosts?
It did. It did.

169
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:38,040
Did it?
It did. Yeah, it did.

170
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,000
I shall be patient and undemanding.
And cheerful, mother!

171
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,520
I shall be patient and undemanding.
And cheerful, mother!

172
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,840
Yes, my boy.
I think the audience was

173
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:48,000
as miserable as we were.
What, uh...What was your first job?

174
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:49,120
as miserable as we were.
What, uh...What was your first job?

175
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,680
First ever?
Yeah.

176
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,240
Ophelia at the Old Vic

177
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:56,000
in 1957,
opposite John Neville.

178
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,000
in 1957,
opposite John Neville.

179
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,920
It must have been a big deal to get
that job back then, wasn't it?

180
00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,000
Pfft. Well, can you imagine
what kind of...

181
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,920
Pfft. Well, can you imagine
what kind of...

182
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,080
You know, I was in a kind of haze.

183
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000
We opened at the
Liverpool Playhouse.

184
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:12,120
We opened at the
Liverpool Playhouse.

185
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,760
Playhouse?
Liverpool Playhouse for one week.

186
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Well, it didn't go well.

187
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,000
I mean, they didn't like somebody
completely unknown playing the part.

188
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,160
I mean, they didn't like somebody
completely unknown playing the part.

189
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,880
What a baptism of fire for you.

190
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:24,320
What did that make you feel about?

191
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,120
Did you read those rotten notices,
or did you ignore them?

192
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,000
Or you heard about them? What was,
what did what was that like?

193
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:29,680
Or you heard about them? What was,
what did what was that like?

194
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,280
I don't think I read them.
Yeah, but you were aware
that it was...

195
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,520
It hadn't perhaps gone as.
A bit do...bit dodgy.

196
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,000
Bit dodgy? Yes.

197
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,040
Bit dodgy? Yes.

198
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,000
But then Michael Benthall
said to me,

199
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,560
pulled me into his office
and he said, "Don't be made sad

200
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:44,000
or depressed by this", because

201
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,080
or depressed by this", because

202
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
he said, "I'm going to keep you on
in the company."

203
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,560
And he said, "You're going to play
lots of other small parts

204
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,000
and watch the other actors."

205
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:52,800
and watch the other actors."

206
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,480
And that's what I did.
Well, good on him.

207
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,320
What about you and critics, though?

208
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:58,960
Uh, well, you know,
once had some, some...

209
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Well, I suppose if you do it
for long enough, you have a whole

210
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,920
Well, I suppose if you do it
for long enough, you have a whole

211
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,120
range of them, don't you?
In Henry the Fifth,

212
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,240
one of my brilliant touches,
of course, was that I would, uh...

213
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:08,000
produce an accent, uh, to disguise
myself as the king...Yes.

214
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,960
produce an accent, uh, to disguise
myself as the king...Yes.

215
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:14,240
..as I go amongst my men in disguise
the night before the battle.

216
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,760
A little touch of Harry
in the night.

217
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:16,000
And I thought so I shall do
my brilliant Welsh accent,

218
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
And I thought so I shall do
my brilliant Welsh accent,

219
00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,880
because he's Prince of Wales.
Of course, that's going
to work very well.

220
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,560
And I remember that getting a review
in the days when I read them,

221
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:24,000
saying Mr. Branagh,

222
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,360
saying Mr. Branagh,

223
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,760
who is vocally inadequate
in the role, lacking in magnitude.

224
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,000
However, in the nighttime scene,

225
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,040
However, in the nighttime scene,

226
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:35,720
where I'd done
my amazing Welsh accent,

227
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,840
however, in the nighttime scene,
he is effortlessly a Geordie.

228
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Thank you very much.
And you can shove your accent...

229
00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,760
And I bet you know who that was.
..where the sun doesn't shine.

230
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000
I'm not...I-I couldn't possibly say,
but obviously I question,

231
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:49,960
I'm not...I-I couldn't possibly say,
but obviously I question,

232
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,600
I question their judgement, Judi.
(CHUCKLES)

233
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:56,000
And but it is true to say I think
I travelled from Milford Haven

234
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:56,040
And but it is true to say I think
I travelled from Milford Haven

235
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:00,480
and Pontypool via Gateshead,

236
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,720
back to, back to Northern Ireland.

237
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,680
'Before we became hardened
to the slings and arrows

238
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,000
of outrageous reviews,

239
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:13,840
of outrageous reviews,

240
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:17,120
like many, Kenny and I both started
our acting careers

241
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,200
by going to drama school.'

242
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:22,800
Do you remember what it was like
leaving home, the moment when

243
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:24,960
you were gone from York,
and now you were in London?

244
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,000
Did you ever look back
or look sideways, or did you...?

245
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,960
I think I must have done.
Mm-hm.

246
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,520
All those days are kind of...

247
00:09:33,560 --> 00:09:36,000
merged together in a way.
Three years of it.

248
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:36,360
merged together in a way.
Three years of it.

249
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:40,040
Mm-hm. For me, it was the Friday
I went to RADA for the sort of

250
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,600
induction afternoon,
and then I came...

251
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,000
Were you living in Belfast?
No, I was over from Belfast.

252
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,040
Were you living in Belfast?
No, I was over from Belfast.

253
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,800
I was in Reading and I went home.

254
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,360
And, you know, we all variously
didn't know really how to cope

255
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,000
with this thing that
suddenly graphically became,

256
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:52,560
with this thing that
suddenly graphically became,

257
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,240
this is the moment
you're leaving home

258
00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:56,320
to go out into
the big wide world,

259
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,000
which was, for them,
terrifying, acting.

260
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,000
They didn't know anything about
the acting business or anything.

261
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,920
They didn't know anything about
the acting business or anything.

262
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,920
It just was just a world where
I would return to them as

263
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,000
a homosexual who was out of work,
and this would be perfectly fine

264
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:09,000
a homosexual who was out of work,
and this would be perfectly fine

265
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:12,400
but it would not be something that
they could help me with, you know.

266
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:13,960
But it seemed guaranteed.

267
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
Um, and so they didn't say much,
but I remember I'd come back.

268
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,600
Um, and so they didn't say much,
but I remember I'd come back.

269
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,840
So we had the afternoon. We said,
this is what you'll do.

270
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,720
You need these tights. We'd turn up
on Monday. So I knew I was leaving
the next day to go.

271
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:24,000
And there was this little envelope
which I remember which had,

272
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,040
And there was this little envelope
which I remember which had,

273
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,000
it was on the telephone table...

274
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,040
it was on the telephone table...

275
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,520
and, um, I...
They didn't say anything about it,

276
00:10:35,560 --> 00:10:38,280
but it was a it was a card

277
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:40,000
which said, um, just simply,

278
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
which said, um, just simply,

279
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,520
and it was one of those ones
like totally embossed

280
00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:45,120
sort of Woolworths card.

281
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,000
So it was like
a bloody duvet on a bed.

282
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,160
So it was like
a bloody duvet on a bed.

283
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,920
And it just inside it just said,
"We're very proud of you.

284
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,000
Love Mum and Dad."
There was £100 in it,

285
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:56,640
Love Mum and Dad."
There was £100 in it,

286
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,840
£100 for them, that was a lot.
That's a lot.

287
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,560
1979. That was a lot of money.

288
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,520
So you knew that that was huge.

289
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:04,000
And then I just remember also, uh,
I got driven down to the station

290
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,360
And then I just remember also, uh,
I got driven down to the station

291
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,000
and I just remember that moment of
them waving and waving on the step,

292
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,760
and I just remember that moment of
them waving and waving on the step,

293
00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,640
because the way the house was,
you could see them for a long time.

294
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:20,000
And they never, never,
never stopped waving.

295
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:20,120
And they never, never,
never stopped waving.

296
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,240
Oh, it's a lovely memory.

297
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,000
'After RADA, it wasn't long
before Ken was taking on

298
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,520
'After RADA, it wasn't long
before Ken was taking on

299

to stay close with them.

that's almost too much,

And then for a moment,
that's almost too much,

a man who comes from a culture

485
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:48,000
I want you and granny to come too.

I want you and granny to come too.

487
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,120
I had the instinct when we shot it
to then just move away from them

488
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,000
and be outside and let them
have their kind of moment,

and be outside and let them
have their kind of moment,

490

too private and too...too delicate.

And trying to direct that film
was almost trying to be like

00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,360
another role, another character
who was being as sensitive

494

as you could be to their situation,
which is any family's situation

So, it was also, one had
to be respectful to my parents

So, it was also, one had
to be respectful to my parents

and to people they knew.

500
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,560
It wasn't a literal version
of their lives, but it was something

501
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:28,000
that one was trying
to be honest and open about.

that one was trying
to be honest and open about.

very delicate

504
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:34,640
just the way
human relationships are.

505
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:36,000

the lesson. As it was—

And so it was uh...it was quite

00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:12,000
And after the notes, he said...
he said to me.

600
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,040
And after the notes, he said...
he said to me.

601
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,560
(AS SIR JOHN) "Well, if you'd been
doing that for me, I'd be delighted.

602
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:19,600
Aww.
So, then I was...

603
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,760
Johnny G. He gets...
He gets a big tick in our book.

604
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:27,480
You are so good and clever.
Ah, ha, ha.

605
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:28,000
I feel so much better now.
Mm.Calmer and happier.

606
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:31,760
I feel so much better now.
Mm.Calmer and happier.

607
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Weren't we in the film of...
You came in to Hamlet.

608
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:36,000
Yes, yes, yes.
Sir John came and was old Priam.

609
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,800
Yes, yes, yes.
Sir John came and was old Priam.

610
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,520
He was Priam.
He was old Priam. Yeah.

611
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000
...His antique sword, rebellious
to his arm, lies where it falls.

612
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,800
...His antique sword, rebellious
to his arm, lies where it falls.

613
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,360
Repugnant.

614
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:49,960
You play Hecuba.

615
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
Yes. That's right.
A lot of headscarf acting.

616
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:52,320
Yes. That's right.
A lot of headscarf acting.

617
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:55,480
Was it headscarf acting?
But you made it more than that.

618
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:57,400
You made it much more than that.

619
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,000
FIRST PLAYER: Her husband's limbs.

620
00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:00,000
The instant burst of clamour
that she made...

621
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,520
The instant burst of clamour
that she made...

622
00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,560
DENCH: (OS) No lines.
BRANNAGH: (OS) And no lines. Lots of
wailing, though. You looked sad.

623
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:07,760
You look put out anyway.
You look very put out.

624

'Ken, of course,
has directed me many times.

625
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,200
'Ken, of course,
has directed me many times.

626
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:15,760
But what people may not know is
that I have also directed him.'

627
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:16,000
Are we ready?Yeah. Come
on, let's get a move on...

628
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,000
Are we ready?Yeah. Come
on, let's get a move on...

629

'Once in John Osborne's
Look Back in Anger...'

630
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:24,000
Sounds like some
fleshy Roman matron, doesn't it?

631
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:24,720
Sounds like some
fleshy Roman matron, doesn't it?

632
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:26,600
The lady Pusillanimous...

633
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:30,320
Do you want me to carry on?
Keep going.

634
00:24:30,360 --> 00:24:32,000
'And before that,
in Much Ado About Nothing

637
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Against my will, I am sent
to bid you come in to dinner.

638
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,000
There's a double meaning in that.

639
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:41,160
There's a double meaning in that.

640
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:42,960
Anyway...
(LAUGHS)

641
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,760
That's rubbish. That's rubbish.

642
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:47,800
It pains, I think.
(MUMBLES)

643
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:48,000
You mustn't say "There's a double
meaning in that" so quickly.

644
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,920
You mustn't say "There's a double
meaning in that" so quickly.

645
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,520
Right. Yeah. Well, literally say,
or leave more of a pause?

646
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,000
Well, no, no, just leave the pause.
But you say... (QUICKLY)
..There's a double meaning in there.

647
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,400
Well, no, no, just leave the pause.
But you say... (QUICKLY)
..There's a double meaning in there.

648
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,280
You just don't hear it. Leave the
pause because you everyone goes...

649
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,000
Yeah.There's a double meaning
in that. I mean...

650
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,040
Yeah.There's a double meaning
in that. I mean...

651
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,680
Right...
..storm them.

652
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,640
I remember coming to give
you notes somewhere.Yes.

653
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,000
Coming to see it, and you leaving.
Well...I think you left.

654
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,360
Coming to see it, and you leaving.
Well...I think you left.

655
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,560
There was one time, but I...
but I also remember you coming round

656
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,000
to see me after the first preview.

657
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:20,720
to see me after the first preview.

658
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,120
And I said,
"Well, how did it go, Judi?"

659
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,920
You said, "It was like watching
a slow motion pileup on a motorway."

660
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:28,000
"Not good then?" I said.
"Not so good, no.

661
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:29,720
"Not good then?" I said.
"Not so good, no.

662
00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,160
"No, you missed everything."
No, I never...

663
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,000
You make it up as you go along.

664
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:36,120
You make it up as you go along.

665
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:37,760
(BOTH LAUGH)
I never said that.

666
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,240
I know you were... What was sweet
was you were occasionally...

667
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,480
you were pretty cross
with us at various times,
but you mostly didn't show it.

668
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:44,000
Well, because you wanted it
to be good.

669
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,640
Well, because you wanted it
to be good.

670
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,760
You used to tell me...
In fact, you came in...

671
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:50,800
I know you gave me a hard time-
I don't think I corrected you at all.

672
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,000
No, you came in
when we were in Brighton.

673
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
No, you came in
when we were in Brighton.

674
00:25:54,040 --> 00:25:58,320
We were on tour in Brighton.
And you said "Kenny. Kenny. Kenny!

675
00:25:58,360 --> 00:26:00,000
Stand up, stand up! Kenny! Kenny!"
(CHUCKLES)

676
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,160
Stand up, stand up! Kenny! Kenny!"
(CHUCKLES)

677
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,240
"You've gone very, very West End."
I said. "What do you mean?"

678
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,720
"You're not looking at anybody?
It's all out front.

679
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,000
It's all out front. It's laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh."

680
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,680
It's all out front. It's laugh,
laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh."

681
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:15,400
And I took those words and stamped,
they're branded on my conscience.

682
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,000
Not true.
So anytime I...

683
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,480
Not true.
So anytime I...

684
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,640
anytime I feel like
I'm using bad taste,

685
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,480
I think of Judi Dench saying,

686
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:23,320
"Kenny, you've gone very,
very West End."

687
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:24,000
With, I hasten to add, you did it
with a little bit of a waggy finger.

688
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,040
With, I hasten to add, you did it
with a little bit of a waggy finger.

689
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,400
So it was, it was...
Well, that was me acting a director.

690
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:32,000
Why did you decide
you fancied directing a bit?

691
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,480
Why did you decide
you fancied directing a bit?

692
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,200
I didn't. You persuaded me.
But you also did...

693
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,120
I didn't want to do it. You made me.
Well... (CHUCKLES)

694
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,000
For the money.
For the... Of course.

695
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:41,040
For the money.
For the... Of course.

696
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,320
And that's you all over, I must say.

697
00:26:43,360 --> 00:26:47,280
Do you have any...? I'm sure you
have plenty of pieces of advice

698
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:48,000
that a director might have given you
that you think,

699
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:49,680
that a director might have given you
that you think,

700
00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:51,600
"Ohh, that's a useful one?"

701
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,200
Less is more.
That's all I know, Ken.Mm-hm.

702
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:56,000
Because when you, you know,
you want to do everything...

703
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,960
Because when you, you know,
you want to do everything...

704
00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:03,680
I mean, I realise now that,
of course, when Ophelia comes on

705
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:04,000
and says, when she's mad,

706
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,120
and says, when she's mad,

707
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:11,280
"Where is the beauteous majesty of
Denmark?"...Majesty of Denmark.

708
00:27:11,320 --> 00:27:12,000
I don't, you know, I was so mad.

709
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:13,760
I don't, you know, I was so mad.

710
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,160
I mean, I was a box of frogs
running on.Yes.

711
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,920
All you'd have to do is to go up
to the wrong person,

712
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,000
like anybody on stage,

713
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,520
like anybody on stage,

714
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,920
BUT the Queen
and just say it to them, you know?

715
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:28,000
Then you'd know
she wasn't too tightly wrapped.

716
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:28,440
Then you'd know
she wasn't too tightly wrapped.

717
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,120
You don't have to, you know,
less is always more, isn't it?

718
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,280
But you don't trust yourself
to do that.

719
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,000
No. And you want...
It's very tempting,

720
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,840
No. And you want...
It's very tempting,

721
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,880
Or you feel as though it's required
to tear a passion to tatters.

722
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,640
The whole story of my acting life
has been trying to do less

723
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,000
and less and less. There will be
plenty of people who disagree

724
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,080
and less and less. There will be
plenty of people who disagree

725
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:48,800
whether I've managed to do it,
but that's sort of scary, isn't it?

726
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:52,000
Yes.So it's rather vulnerable to be
um...to be that way.

727
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,680
Yes.So it's rather vulnerable to be
um...to be that way.

(WOLF WHISTLES)

731
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,720
I was once in a scene
with three actors,

732
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:05,400
and one of them said to me,
rather like

733
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,360
this person doing nothing
at the back here.

734
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,000
I said, "Oh, so we're going
to do the scene in a minute.

735
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,360
I said, "Oh, so we're going
to do the scene in a minute.

736
00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:14,200
Are you going to do something
or are you going to do nothing?

737
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,000
Because if you're doing something,
I'm doing nothing.

738
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:16,600
Because if you're doing something,
I'm doing nothing.

739
00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,600
But if you are doing nothing,
I'll do something." (CHUCKLES)

740

And at the moment, I would say
the two of us are doing something

And at the moment, I would say
the two of us are doing something

742
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:27,160
and this one's doing nothing,
and everybody's looking at that one.

Watching her. Of course.The story
of my life, the story of my life.

744
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,840
She's not a fool.
Now that's a movie star.

745
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:32,000
Sweetheart.
That's how you define a movie star.

746
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,520
Sweetheart.
That's how you define a movie star.

747
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:35,920
(CHATTERS)

748
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,000
I want to ask you
about this painting, Jude,

749
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:40,520
I want to ask you
about this painting, Jude,

750
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040
because it's such
a fantastic likeness

751
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,880
of the brilliant
Mr. Michael Williams.Mikey.

752
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:48,000
'Michael and I were married
just short of 30 years

753
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,800
'Michael and I were married
just short of 30 years

754
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,560
when he died in 2001.'

755
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:56,000
Look at that Ken.Yes.
I mean, you knew him well.

756
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:56,680
Look at that Ken.Yes.
I mean, you knew him well.

757
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:59,520
That's so, it's brilliantly painted.

758
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:03,080
Yes, I think-But there's something
about his foot there.

759
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:04,000
And his... Oh, gosh.

760
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:05,320
And his... Oh, gosh.

761
00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:07,840
His hands. I love it.

762
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,680
I really love it.

763
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,000
And you acted on stage a lot
with Michael, didn't you?

764
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,800
And you acted on stage a lot
with Michael, didn't you?

765
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:25,080
We did.
Yeah? Was that easy? Simple?

766
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,440
Or was it times when you thought,
"Oh, bloody hell,

767
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:28,000
I've got to go home to this guy?
Yes.

768
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,040
I've got to go home to this guy?
Yes.

769
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,640
Times where we had quite
a tricky time.Yes.

770
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:35,480
He said in The Merchant of Venice,

771
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,000
Uh...We were...
we were not long married.

772
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,760
Uh...We were...
we were not long married.

773
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,400
We were at Stratford together,
and he played Bassanio,

774
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,000
and I played Portia.
And I said to him,

775
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:44,520
and I played Portia.
And I said to him,

776
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:48,680
"I speak too long,
but just to peise the time,

777
00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,160
to eke it
and to draw it out in length,

778
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,000
to stay you from erection."
(LAUGHS)

779
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,160
to stay you from erection."
(LAUGHS)

780
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:55,400
Which, election, you know,
is the line.

781
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,040
Well, the wind band left the stage.
They just walked off,

782
00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,000
and Michael and I were left
to face away from each other.

783
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
and Michael and I were left
to face away from each other.

784
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,080
Contemplating what
the audience made of his erection.

785
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,000
(INDISTINCT)

786
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:08,720
(INDISTINCT)

787
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,240
Which may or may not have been
what Shakespeare meant.

788
00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:13,560
I don't know, it seems to me
it works perfectly well.

789
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:15,760
It's more fool him for using
a word like that

790
00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:16,000
that could be easily mispronounced.

791
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,360
that could be easily mispronounced.

792
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:20,680
I remember when we were making
the film of Henry V, in which,

793
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:24,000
unusually, uh, Michael Williams
played the role of Michael Williams.

794
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:24,760
unusually, uh, Michael Williams
played the role of Michael Williams.

795
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,360
Michael Williams. He did.

796
00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:30,240
And if the cause be not good,

797
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:32,000
the King himself hath
a heavy reckoning to make.

798
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:32,720
the King himself hath
a heavy reckoning to make.

799
00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,560
And all those legs and arms
and heads chopped off in a battle

800
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,000
shall join together
at the latter day and cry all,

801
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:41,160
shall join together
at the latter day and cry all,

802
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:45,040
"We died at such a place."

803
00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,000
Some swearing,
some crying for a surgeon.

804
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:49,720
Some swearing,
some crying for a surgeon.

805
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,160
Some upon the wives
left poor behind them.

806
00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,000
Some upon the debts they owe.

807
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:56,880
Some upon the debts they owe.

808
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,240
Some upon their children rawly left.

809
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:11,160
Now that's
a very talented young actor.

810
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:12,000
He had such a tack, and he had such
a sort of strong,

811
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,800
He had such a tack, and he had such
a sort of strong,

812
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,600
and as it happened,
very masculine presence

813
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,000
and very... He had that incredible
sort of movie star jaw

814
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,440
and very... He had that incredible
sort of movie star jaw

815
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,760
and those piercing eyes and...
Eye. Blue eyes.

816
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,440
Yeah. A handsome lad, wasn't he?
He was.

817
00:31:30,485 --> 00:31:34,320
What is it about Shakespeare
that means that we continue...

818
00:31:34,360 --> 00:31:36,000
(DULL THUDDING)
..to want to tell stories?

819
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:36,440
(DULL THUDDING)
..to want to tell stories?

820
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:38,840
And there you go.
Beating of your heart.Mm-hm.

821
00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:42,840
The beating of your heart,
all those lines.

822
00:31:42,880 --> 00:31:44,000
It's what it sounds like or feels...
Well, it's exactly what it is,

823
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,800
It's what it sounds like or feels...
Well, it's exactly what it is,

824
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,320
and it's how you kind of retain it,
isn't it.

825
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:51,440
When it's going with that rhythm
of di-da, di-da, di-da.

826
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,000
When it's going with that beat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

827
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,840
When it's going with that beat.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

828
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:57,080
My father had a daughter.
Loved a man.

829
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:00,000
My father had a daughter.
Loved a man.

830
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:00,160
My father had a daughter.
Loved a man.

831
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:07,840
When this project came along,
All Is True, which we did together

832
00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:08,000
where you played my missus
as Shakespeare...

833
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,080
where you played my missus
as Shakespeare...

834
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,800
..did you feel as though
you knew the woman or had a sense of

835
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:16,000
who she might be?
I don't think I did.

836
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,840
who she might be?
I don't think I did.

837
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:22,040
I knew all about the family
and everything

838
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,000
and their environment

839
00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:25,240
and their environment

840
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,720
and exactly the kind of place
they were in.

841
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,000
'All Is True, directed by Ken,
is an imagined account

842
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:35,200
'All Is True, directed by Ken,
is an imagined account

843
00:32:35,240 --> 00:32:38,200
of how Shakespeare's
later life might have been.

844
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,720
'In this scene, the bard has
returned to his family home

845
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:46,320
after a long career in London,

846
00:32:46,360 --> 00:32:48,000
an absentee father and husband,

847
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,520
an absentee father and husband,

848
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:51,960
unaware of how disconnected
he has become.'

849
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:54,800
Goodnight husband.

850
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,120
Twenty years, Will.

851
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,400
We've seen you less and less.

852
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:04,000
To us, you're a guest.

853
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:05,120
To us, you're a guest.

854
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:09,600
And a guest must have
the best bed.

855
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,640
Rest well.

856
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:16,840
For me, it was really a wonderful
pleasure and a privilege,

857
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:20,000
really, to try and play
an imagined version of Shakespeare.

858
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:20,720
really, to try and play
an imagined version of Shakespeare.

859
00:33:20,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Ben Elton's terrific screenplay.

860
00:33:24,320 --> 00:33:26,880
'The real joy of the film, for me,

861
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:28,000
are the imagined conversations
that Shakespeare might have had.'

862
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,480
are the imagined conversations
that Shakespeare might have had.'

863
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,280
There is no corner of this world

864
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,000
you have not explored,
no geography of the soul,

865
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,040
you have not explored,
no geography of the soul,

866
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:40,080
which you cannot navigate.

867
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:43,760
How?

868
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:44,000
If you want to be a writer and speak
to others and for others...

869
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,880
If you want to be a writer and speak
to others and for others...

870
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:51,200
..speak first for yourself.

871
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,680
Search within.

872
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:58,960
For me, something
that stamps him as a genius

873
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,000
is his capacity to understand
what we might call,

874
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:01,920
is his capacity to understand
what we might call,

875
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,480
and I think you never can call it,
'the ordinary'.

876
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:06,840
The ordinary is always
extraordinary.

877
00:34:06,880 --> 00:34:08,000
Quite.
Yeah.

878
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:08,440
Quite.
Yeah.

879
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:14,200
To bring down to a line
which contains all...

880
00:34:15,800 --> 00:34:16,000
..all that...

881
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:17,440
..all that...

882
00:34:17,480 --> 00:34:21,320
not emotion, all that,
all that intensity, that one might,

883
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,440
that everybody...

884
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:24,000
Well, that a lot of people experience
in different ways.

885
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,600
Well, that a lot of people experience
in different ways.

886
00:34:27,640 --> 00:34:30,240
He somehow distilled it, didn't he.
Distilled it.

887
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,000
And when we can't find words,

888
00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:32,520
And when we can't find words,

889
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,560
we can find this poetry...

890
00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:40,000
That's true...that goes beyond
the baldly literate, or literal.

891
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:41,480
That's true...that goes beyond
the baldly literate, or literal.

892
00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,240
A good friend of mine, alas,
lost his papa a little while ago,

893
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,240
and I could see he was, um,

894
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,000
you know, he was as affected
as people are.

895
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,720
you know, he was as affected
as people are.

896
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:51,680
You know, your dad's your dad.
And he loved him.

897
00:34:51,720 --> 00:34:53,960
And he said, I don't know
what to say at the funeral.

898
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,000
And I said, "For what it's worth,
there's this line from Hamlet,

899
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:57,480
And I said, "For what it's worth,
there's this line from Hamlet,

900
00:34:57,520 --> 00:35:01,240
I found I couldn't speak
about my father much."

901
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:03,280
It was...

902
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,000
(TEARFULLY) You know, it just
becomes...t becomes too much.

903
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,200
(TEARFULLY) You know, it just
becomes...t becomes too much.

904
00:35:13,240 --> 00:35:17,720
And I said, uh, I said, um,
so there's this line in Hamlet

905
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:20,000
where he simply says, uh,
you know, "Methinks I saw my father.

906
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,240
where he simply says, uh,
you know, "Methinks I saw my father.

907
00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:26,360
I saw him once. He, uh...
he was a goodly king."

908
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,000
And Hamlet says, "He was a man.

909
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:29,720
And Hamlet says, "He was a man.

910
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:32,600
Take him for all in all.

911
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:34,960
I shall not look upon
his like again."

912
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:40,800
And it was a big help to this lad
whose dad had passed.

913
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,360
And I remember thinking, well,
thanks, Shakespeare, for that.

914
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,000
And also there's a bit of comfort
to someone. It was solace.

915
00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:46,200
And also there's a bit of comfort
to someone. It was solace.

916
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,040
It was comfort. It put some...
It puts something into words.

917
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,000
It began a process because we know
that grief is so...challenging.

918
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,280
It began a process because we know
that grief is so...challenging.

Can you see if it's got fruit on it?

Richard Briars of this parish,

961
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:52,360
Richard Briars of this parish,

962
00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,440
we're in the dressing room
at the Tokyo Globe Theatre,

963
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,400
and it was a Wednesday matinee,
and it was raining

964
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,000
and we'd been on the road
for quite some time,

965
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,400
and we'd been on the road
for quite some time,

966
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:03,760
and the call
came through it said,

967
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,000
"Mr. Briars, this is your beginner's
call for Shakespeare's King Lear."

968
00:38:08,000 --> 00:38:09,480
"Mr. Briars, this is your beginner's
call for Shakespeare's King Lear."

969
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:12,600
And then very slowly,
very deliberately, he turns to me

970
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,160
and he says...

971
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,000
"I fucking hate acting."
(BOTH LAUGH)

972
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,840
"I fucking hate acting."
(BOTH LAUGH)

973
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:23,360
I said, "Well, why do you hate it?
Why do you hate it, Dick?"

974
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,000
He said, "Well, it isn't any kind
of job for a grown man," he said.

975
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,040
He said, "Well, it isn't any kind
of job for a grown man," he said.

976
00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:29,840
I said, "Why not?
He said, "Well, you're just standing

977

on a platform in tights shouting.

with any of those things,

I've always noticed in what you do,

1015
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:05,360
a playful quality,
and it's especially in the theatre,

but sometimes in film as well.

in a bottle.

1018
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:12,240
Yes, that's why film
is so tricky, isn't it?

1019
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,760
Because once you've done and you
think, "Oh..."

"Oh, no, that's not...

That wasn't it at all."
Yeah, well...

But that's what's so lovely
about the theatre, you know.

1024
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:24,000
Well, the audience don't realise

1029
00:40:32,120 --> 00:40:34,960
I feel these days in the theatre,
the atmosphere is special

1030
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:37,280
because people don't do it
quite so much anymore

1031
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:39,360
and they value it differently.

I think that's true.
I think that's very, very true.

1043
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:12,640
with spectacles on nose and pouch
on side.(BOTH SPEAK ALONG)

1044
00:41:12,680 --> 00:41:18,160
His youthful hose well saved a world
too wide for his shrunk shank.

1045
00:41:18,200 --> 00:41:20,000
Crikey...
His big manly voice

1046
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:20,960
Crikey...
His big manly voice

1047
00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,720
turning again
toward childish treble,

1048
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:26,600
pipes and whistles in his sound.

1049
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:28,000
Last scene of all that ends
this strange, eventful history

1050
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,160
Last scene of all that ends
this strange, eventful history

1051
00:41:33,200 --> 00:41:36,000
is second childishness
and mere oblivion.

1052
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,760
is second childishness
and mere oblivion.

1053
00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,040
Sans teeth...Yellow.

1054
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,000
Sans eyes. Sans taste.

1055
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:45,000
Sans eyes. Sans taste.

1056
00:41:45,040 --> 00:41:47,480
Sans everything.

1057
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:51,520
Bit gloomy, isn't he? (CHUCKLES)

1058
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,600


1059
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:58,760

When you're young

1060
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,600


1061
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,640
I've been-I've been asked...
Are you going?

1062
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,000
Asked to get me going?
(LAUGHS)

1063
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,360
Asked to get me going?
(LAUGHS)

1064
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,520
(MAN SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
I thought that was you.

1065
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,000
I thought... I've been asked
to get you going.

1066
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:16,280
I thought... I've been asked
to get you going.

1067
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,120
(BOTH LAUGH)

1068
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:20,880

You are never done

1069
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:27,760


1070
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,960
We took her out
a couple of summers ago

1071
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:32,000
in a little travelling cage,
sitting on top.

1072
00:42:32,000 --> 00:42:33,400
in a little travelling cage,
sitting on top.

1073
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,200
Suddenly she said, and
she's never said it before or since,

1074
00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:38,440
she said...

1075
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,000
"Boris Johnson."
(LAUGHS)

1076
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:40,480
"Boris Johnson."
(LAUGHS)

1077
00:42:41,440 --> 00:42:43,880
(CHIRRUPS)

1078
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:46,520

And understanding

1079
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:54,080

By the maker

1080
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,040


1081
00:42:59,960 --> 00:43:03,000
