Miram Margolyes: not just any character actor ...

I was talking with [livejournal.com profile] pingrid earlier about our love for Professor Sprout and Miriam Margolyes, who plays her. She often lives in NSW and I sometimes see her at the theatre, whereupon I have to run in the opposite direction before I say something so appallingly idiotic that she kindly asks me 'Are you deranged, or just a wanker?'

As part of the conversation, I told Pin about MM's appearance on Enough Rope, a peculiarly Australian sort of interview show, where people are nice and no-holds-barred in equal measure. It is the only interview that I have had to press record during because I was laughing so hard I could no longer hear the subject. I recommend taking the time to watch it on YouTube (there are 4 parts), or, if you have a tiny download limit, reading the transcript here, which is very nearly as funny.



And now, back to the limping, cleaning and editing. [personal profile] treacle_tartlet , I plan to get you drunk so you don't notice the dust.

Okay...

a) Miriam Margoyles is brilliant. She is part of the cast of one of my favourite films of all time (Cold Comfort Farm), but is fabulous in everything I've every seen her in!
*fangirls a bit*
b) Why are you cleaning for me? Foolish woman, I live with a four year-old! I probably wouldn't even notice your sort of mess (tell me, do you have mumified toast crusts hidden in the folds of the couch cover?).
c)ZOMG *head asplodes* I WILL BE IN SYDNEY TOMORROW NIGHT!

I had to clear another seat in the living room so we can watch trashy DVDs together!

I don't know if it counts as trashy, but I have SIX SEASONS OF QI FOR YOU!
