On the show tonight, there is only one question on everyone's lips. Are | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
you talkin' to me? No. Me? Actually, don't even bother! I am not talking | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
to anyone of you because tonight I am talking to one of the world's | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
greatest actors. Let's start the show! | :00:24. | :00:36. | |
APPLAUSE Oh! Oh! Oh! | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Hello! Hello! | :00:42. | :00:49. | |
Hello, and welcome - welcome one, welcome all. | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
What excitement, what a night, what a show. I never thought I would be | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
saying the following sentence, "Acting legend star of The Deer | :01:01. | :01:08. | |
Hunter, raging bull, Taxi Driver, Robert Di Niro is on this show, | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
ladies and Driver, Robert Di Niro is on this show, ladies and gentlemen! | :01:15. | :01:15. | |
" APPLAUSE Michelle | :01:16. | :01:16. | |
Pfeiffer is here, ladies and gentlemen! | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
APPLAUSE Comedy goddess Jennifer Saunders | :01:21. | :01:22. | |
will be joining us. APPLAUSE I | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
know. And that's not all. We will also later on be having | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
Oscar-winning star and musical icon Cher on the show, ladies and | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
gentlemen! Cher APPLAUSE | :01:37. | :01:45. | |
Cher! There! Listen, Robert Di Niro, how exciting | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
is that? Now, he is of course well known for his committed method | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
acting. He gained 60-pound for his role in raging bull where he played | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
an overweight out-of-condition boxer. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
You see why he got the Oscar, can't you! | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
LAUGHTER Another breakthrough role was as the | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
godfather part two where he played a young man embarking on the life of | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
crime. That is a classic gangster. That's what they look like. Here is | :02:18. | :02:19. | |
what a wannabe gangster looks like. APPLAUSE | :02:20. | :02:33. | |
But of course, one of Robert's most memorable roles was as Travis Bickle | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
in Taxi Driver. Mind you, not the first time I've seen someone in | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
front of a taxi and thought something awful is about to happen. | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
APPLAUSE What about Michelle Pfeiffer? Again, | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
a host of great films, Dangerous Liaisons, and Batman Returns where | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
she starred as Catwoman. She looks fantastic. And it is not easy | :03:06. | :03:18. | |
looking sexy as a cat. No! Later on, Cher will be joining us. | :03:19. | :03:30. | |
But first, she's, it's Jennifer Saunders! Hello, hello! It's nuts, | :03:31. | :03:40. | |
isn't it! Sit down. Sit down. And it's Michelle Pfeiffer! | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
APPLAUSE So lovely to see you. | :03:45. | :03:53. | |
There! Michelle Pfeiffer, everyone! And, yes, I am talking to him, it is | :03:54. | :04:04. | |
Mr MrRobert Di Niro! APPLAUSE | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
Wooh! I am exhausted. So over excited. | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
It's like showbiz Christmas. Lovely to see you, Jennifer, lovely to see | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
you, Michelle. Thank you. And, now, well, it's lovely to see you. It's | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
surprising to see you. If you were British, you would be | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
like, sir, be like Sir Robert Di Niro by now. Or Lord Bob. You can | :04:42. | :04:50. | |
call me Sir Robert if you want. Can I call you that? Yes. The campaign | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
starts now. The Queen watches this. | :04:55. | :05:01. | |
I really hope not! LAUGHTER Did | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
you speak to him out the back, Jennifer? I did, very briefly. What | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
did you say? I said "hello"! LAUGHTER | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
That was quite brief. Yes, it was quite brief. By the way, can I just, | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
a man of surprises, a man of surprises, I didn't see you drinking | :05:19. | :05:26. | |
that drink. Well, now is not the time. | :05:27. | :05:28. | |
LAUGHTER You're not drinking it? Yes. But you | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
asked for it, is my point? They asked for it. I didn't ask for it. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
Do you want something else? No, I am good. That's great. What is it? It's | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
a cucumber Martini hen drivel. Did you expect it to look like that No. | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
-- hendrix. That doesn't look like a cucumber Martini to me, that looks | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
like a gin and tonic with cucumber in it. So, sorry. | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
LAUGHTER How is your tea? I haven't tried it. OK. | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
How is your wine? It's lovely. You haven't drunk that either. | :06:07. | :06:17. | |
Listen, Michelle, yourself and M Bob, Lord Bob are in The Entry | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
together. You've been in films together but it's the first time | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
you've been on screen together? Yes, we were in" stardust together and I | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
was so excited to be in a movie with Robert Di Niro and then I realised I | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
didn't get to work with him because we had no scenes together. Then we | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
did New Year's Eve, and I was so excited to be in a movie with him, | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
and once again had no scenes together. So we would meet on the | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
red carpet, hello, nice to see you, you're wonderful in the film, so | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
then I get this script, and I said to my agent, "You know what? If I | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
don't have a scene with him, I am not reading this." So, anyway, we | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
had some great scenes together. We had fun. Were you meant to be in | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
raging bull or was that just the story? Yes, actually, I was - no, I | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
wasn't meant to be in raging bull. No, I went - it was one of my first | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
interviews, I was starting out. I don't know how my agent got me in | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
the room with him, but he did. And I am surprised he doesn't | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
remember me because I walked in looking like a hooker. | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
Was it in LA or New York? It was in LA. Yes. | :07:25. | :07:25. | |
LAUGHTER People who look like hookers, people | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
who look like hookers... I thought I had - I can't swear on this. I | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
didn't think I had a chance. You can swear on this. What were you going | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
to say? A shot in hell? You can swear on this. What were you going | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
to say? A shot in hell? "A shot in hell"! | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
LAUGHTER Wow! Where do you A shot in hell? "A shot | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
in hell"! LAUGHTER Wow! | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
Where do you live! "A shot in hell". ! Ooh! I can only apologise, Sir | :07:58. | :08:07. | |
Bob. But the family opens on 22 November here, and tell the story, | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
tell the story. We're on - I am on the witness protection programme, | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
Michelle is my wife, and Tommy Leigh is our handler, if you will, our FBI | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
handler, somehow he is in France. He keeps showing up. And then that is | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
it. We're under the witness protection programme in France. I | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
know it's not a documentary, but does that happen? Ever? It seems | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
like an American Mob family might look more obvious in France. Good | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
point! I think with this particular family, they're having trouble kind | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
of staying under the radar, and I think they're sort of running out of | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
locations. I like the way Michelle has thought it through! Don't worry, | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
don't worry, everyone, the movie is very rude about French people. | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
Don't worry! I am not saying anything. It is, though. And it is a | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
real crowd-pleaser. French people get hurt! | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
It doesn't exactly show the Americans in favourable light. | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
We have a clip. This is the two of you as the married couple, and | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
you're arguing about how things are going so far in your new life in | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
France. All right. Nothing much. Just the | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
prospect of packing up again when they find out you killed the | :09:38. | :09:39. | |
plumber. I didn't kill him. I took him to the | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
hospital. Why did you beat him to pulp. He's the only plumber within a | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
radius of 20 miles. He disrespected us. I survived. He was trying to rip | :09:52. | :09:59. | |
me off. Who is going to fix the pipes now? Who is going to build | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
down the supermarket the day that - who is going to fix the supermarket | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
the day that burned down the day we got here? | :10:11. | :10:11. | |
APPLAUSE Very good. For you, Sir Bob, here | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
you are, you've made close to 100 movies, you're in the 90-something | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
movies now. You have had a big birthday, turned 70. | :10:25. | :10:32. | |
APPLAUSE That applause means something. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
British audiences clap for nothing. In America that's standard. Here, | :10:38. | :10:46. | |
that meant a lot. Yes. That's good! LAUGHTER | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
But here you are in The Entry, and you're playing a gangster role. What | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
is it about those parts that keeps drawing you back? Well, I mean, | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
they're interesting characters, and if they are written well, it is fun | :10:58. | :11:04. | |
to do them. With a good director - we have great times together with | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
the directors - then it's worth it, or Coppola, it is worth it. I heard | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
you talking a while ago about another Scorcesse movie coming out | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
wi Al Pacino. Yes, I don't know when it will actually come out, but we | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
are planning on doing that movie. This is going to hang over, I need | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
to say it. Do you know we've met before? Yes. OK. I didn't know | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
whether you would remember? We worked together in a film. You were | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
in a film. I was just hanging around! We had so much fun. I did | :11:44. | :11:50. | |
have a nice time. You were wonderful in that movie. Really? Yes. What is | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
this? Did you ever see it? I did. You are the only person who saw it! | :11:56. | :12:07. | |
It was called? I Could Never Be Your Woman. | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
LAUGHTER That's funny! | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
APPLAUSE That's unbelievable. That looks like | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
a Comic Relief sketch. It is a whole film. | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
When initial was doing scenes with you, did she ever ask you to eat a | :12:27. | :12:34. | |
breath mint? Yes, she did! I did not. You're making that up! It | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
was a very cheap film. They spent all the money on Michelle, they | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
needed her in every frame. If you were talking to her, you had to | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
stand close to her so her head could be in the shot as well, and there | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
were some breath mints offered. That's all I am saying. I was being | :12:52. | :12:59. | |
polite. I was being very bad! LAUGHTER Listen, | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
we're pacing our excitement, such as the showbiz, not just these three | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
amazing people, but my next guest sold over 150 million records, | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
reached her 26th studio album. Please welcome Cher! | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
APPLAUSE records, reached her 26th studio album. | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
Please welcome Cher! APPLAUSE # | :13:20. | :13:20. | |
If I could turn back time. # APPLAUSE | :13:21. | :13:43. | |
Perch your loveliness here. There you go. How are you? I am OK, how | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
are you? Something terrible has happened. What? Lord Bob spilt the | :13:49. | :13:57. | |
tea. What is everybody having? He's having drink envy which is why he | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
smacked your tea to the floor. He is having some cucumber thing he | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
doesn't like. What are you on? Me? Yes? What do you mean? What is that? | :14:07. | :14:18. | |
Dr Pepper. Is that a euphemism. You've been on the show a few times. | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
We are excited. Tonight, it's the first time ever you're singing on | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
the show? I think so. So what are you giving us? I am going to give | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
you my new song. Good one! Is it called I Hope You Find It? | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
Yes. Is it off your new album Closer To The Truth. This is like some | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
questionnaire! I've got the facts. I've got the facts. Obviously, you | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
don't, you're asking me! Now, I would like, it is a classic, | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
I feel we're getting classic Cher tonight. What do you mean? It's | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
classic. You're kind of getting tartan. It is a punk edge. Yes. But | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
nice dark hair. Yes. Is it a mood thing? Do you wake up and decide | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
which Cher you will be? Are you out of your mind tonight! | :15:06. | :15:15. | |
LAUGHTER I have to say, looking at the sofa, | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
it is like an out-of-body experience. It is like a dream I | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
had. But how do you decide? Because | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
there's biker Cher, blonde Cher, an gellic Cher? No, there is not. | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
They're just me in different wrappers. It's only me, always me. | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
Just plain old me. It's lovely to have you here. It is particularly | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
lovely to have you here because, earlier this year, I don't know if | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
you remember this, there was a bit of a scare, a bit of a rumour went | :15:45. | :15:51. | |
out. It was that you weren't here? You've seen this? It was where a | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
Twitter hashtag went out. I was dead? People misread it? It was when | :15:58. | :16:12. | |
Margaret Thatcher dead. Now people read ead it as "Now that Cher dead". | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
Did you get a lot of people tweeting? Yes, there was a big | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
Twitter fest. This happens a lot with the hashtag | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
things. So, for instance, I don't know if you remember Susan Boyle, | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
lovely singer, she was launching a new album, going to have a party, | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
and there was much excitement. She announced her party. | :16:38. | :16:51. | |
This is my favourite one. I think like what were they thinking. So | :16:52. | :16:59. | |
there is a important event here called Cheltenham Literary Festival. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
The Cheltenham Literary Festival kind of went yes, let's get involved | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
in this whole Twitter thing. Let's be all over it, like writers and | :17:06. | :17:09. | |
books, and things, but we really need people. They came up with a | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
Twitter name for themselves with for the Cheltenham Literary Festival: | :17:15. | :17:27. | |
Oh, my God, that's funny. Sadly, attendance was very low! No-one | :17:28. | :17:38. | |
could find it! You have to go there, don't you! That's real. That's real. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
Nt three three years saying a big fond farewell to you as you toured | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
the world. Yes. Now you're going to tour again. Yes. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
APPLAUSE Is this the Sorry I forgot My Keys | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Tour? No, it'sIT Is this the Sorry I forgot My Keys Tour? No, it's "You | :18:02. | :18:04. | |
had better do it now, bitch, because you're never going to do it again." | :18:05. | :18:07. | |
It's that. I've heard you talking about the touring, and you love the | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
shows - But I hate the road. You hate the road? It's lonely, and you | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
never know where you are, and you can't do anything, and you have to | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
save your voice, and it's no fun. It's very isolating, and it is the | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
only thing that saves it is when you go out on stage, and having a good | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
time with everyone, and that is good. I am not sure how long I can | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
do it. I won't do it for a long time. I realised this time, I didn't | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
really want to, but then I thought if I don't do it this time, I am not | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
going to be doing it in two years, or three years, when I am with the | :18:44. | :18:54. | |
contain. I am -- can the cane. I am 67. I am not going to do it if I | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
don't do it now. Excellent. APPLAUSE | :19:01. | :19:02. | |
Are we allowed to talk about, because you're not doing the Vegas | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
residency any more? No. You were saying you found those shows quite | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
difficult. Yes. Are we allowed to talk about that? Yes, I don't care. | :19:13. | :19:17. | |
The Vegas shows, you're used to it being you go out on stage and it is | :19:18. | :19:20. | |
a party, people screaming and nuts, so you go out on stage in Vegas, | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
and? They're not allowed to stand up, and they're very, very old. | :19:25. | :19:33. | |
Sometimes they have had walkers, and sometimes they had oxygen masks. | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
I am not kidding. It took me a long time because I was | :19:38. | :19:43. | |
very angry for a long time, and then finally, I thought, you know, this | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
might be the last concert they ever see. | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
At least their enjoying it in their own way, and it's not my way, it | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
doesn't make me feel that good, and they're having a wonderful time, so | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
I have allow them to have their wonderful time. If they got too | :20:00. | :20:02. | |
rowdy, then ushers would come and sit them down. | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
Even if they had oxygen! Because Sir Bob, it's a hotel you've | :20:11. | :20:20. | |
got in Vegas yes? Yes, a novo Hotel. I am there. I am not doing | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
day-to-day operations, but I am very much part of it. Do they say, "Do | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
you like these curtains, that kind of thing? They can. I am going to be | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
there in a couple of days, stay there, and I will say this or that, | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
look at this, some other space. I have things to say. Oh. So you're | :20:39. | :20:45. | |
not a silent partner in this? No. OK. I am a little frightened for | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
them now! I feel like ringing ahead, "He's on his way." | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
Obviously, everyone loves you, Cher. You're a fan of everyone in in on | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
the sofa? I absolutely am. I don't have to pretend! But, no, I know you | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
love French and Saunders? Yes. Jennifer. And you can still believe | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
in the Titanic. Yes. We did that. I loved it. They were - They were both | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
in the water. Yes, that's right. Dawn died, didn't she? ZBLF are you | :21:25. | :21:33. | |
- I don't know if you know, but Jennifer is part of a double act | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
called French and Saunders, and they would spoof. Have you ever done | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
Robert De Niro? No, I haven't. You have done Cher? Too good to touch. | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
They did Sonny and I once. I've done you quite a lot, actually! | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
I don't know if you've seen this - is this a bad thing to show Cher? | :21:57. | :22:01. | |
No...! Let's see if you're still laughing | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
and a minute! Cher is one of my greatest heroines, | :22:07. | :22:16. | |
it is a tribute. I love they would get back together for one more | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
little series! APPLAUSE | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
This is French and Saunders homage to Cher. | :22:25. | :22:36. | |
Who is that? Stop it! It's Cher! I am willing to believe. | :22:37. | :22:45. | |
# They say our love won't pay the rent for all the money has been | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
spent. Pent. # We don't have a pot, at least I am | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
sure of all the things we got. # I got you, babe. | :23:02. | :23:11. | |
# I've brought together wigs and songs that span the centuries. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
# I've brought together wigs and songs that span the centuries. | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
# If I could turn back time. I could find a way. | :23:21. | :23:36. | |
# If I could turn back time. I could find a way. | :23:37. | :23:42. | |
# If I could reach the stars. Like you used to do. | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
Stars. Like you used to do. | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
# If I could turn back time. APPLAUSE | :23:56. | :24:06. | |
You know when you make things, and you wonder I wonder if that person | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
will see it. You never imagine you will be sitting on a sofa with them | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
watching it. That's kind of weird. I've got an early Christmas present | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
for you, Cher, because Jennifer has written a book called Bonkers. I | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
only want it if she signs it. There's a picture of you in it. I | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
put myself in the index as well. Are you in there? Yes, I am. But the | :24:29. | :24:33. | |
thing about writing your life is trying to kind of remember it all. | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
There is a bit, you actually lost your own baby. Yes, briefly. | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
Yes. I id. A Ade and I were living in Richmond at the time, and I had | :24:44. | :24:48. | |
three children, I imagined. So many to keep track of. Yes. One morning, | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
Ade got up and he went and got the two bigger girls up, and he took | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
them down for breakfast. I was to go and get the baby, and I went | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
upstairs to the baby's room, and the cot was empty. | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
I thought, "That's unusual, isn't it?" And you start thinking, "Baby | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
should be in that cot." It's a bit strange. So I thought maybe Ade has | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
picked it up and taken it downstairs for breakfast. The heart is thumping | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
a little bit. You think this is odd. I go downstairs and he is feeding | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
the other two, no sign of the baby. At which point I am thinking, "I | :25:32. | :25:38. | |
should ask him, shouldn't I?" I think, "No, he will look at me like | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
people looked at Ingridberg man in gas light and say you're mad, you've | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
never had another baby. You've only got two children, you are idiot." I | :25:49. | :25:52. | |
thought no, I won't ask him, I will go back upstairs. I go back up, and | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
I am seriously thinking, "Have I actually, have I gone mad? Have I | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
got a baby?" I went back down to my bedroom, as I felt down, I felt this | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
little lump. Isn't it awful, yes, mumsnet, it's awful. I know you | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
shouldn't do that! But I was breast-feeding her at night, and she | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
had kicked herself, I had fallen asleep - obviously - from tiredness, | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
and she had kicked herself down to the bottom of the bed, and was right | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
under the duvet right down the bottom of the bed, just fast asleep | :26:29. | :26:38. | |
- she's still alive! She suffered no damage! | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
APPLAUSE It was a nightmare. You doubt your own | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
sanity. In the book, you don't shy away from anything. No. You do talk | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
about your battle with cancer and stuff. Was it hard to get the - I | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
don't call it a battle. It's not a battle. I hate it when eventually | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
the press picked up on it and they go, "Brave Jen's battle with | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
cancer." It's a process you go through. I try in the book to | :27:04. | :27:15. | |
decatatrophise the process. It's a cure you go through. Viva Forever, | :27:16. | :27:23. | |
the Spice Girls came along. Ment reviews were angry reviews. Yes. Was | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
that water off a duck's back? No, I was very sad for the show, actually. | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
Everything you have things that work and things that don't work. I | :27:35. | :27:37. | |
thought it kind of worked but they didn't give it much of a chance, so | :27:38. | :27:43. | |
I was slightly kissed, obviously. Sad for you all, because nice people | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
involved in it. How was it doing before you got reviewed? It was | :27:48. | :27:52. | |
doing great. That happened to me too. I did a play ComeIng back To | :27:53. | :28:01. | |
theFive Jimmy Deny. We were doing unbelievable business, got reviewed, | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
bad reviews, and then nothing. You see, I think didn't people - are | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
people giving back their tickets? You feel like people have bought | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
their tickets already? I guess they haven't! | :28:12. | :28:21. | |
Sir Bob, but you produce musicals? Yes, We Will Rock You. Everyone | :28:22. | :28:30. | |
loves that. It is a big huge global hit, kerching - literally laughing | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
all the way to the bank! How did you get involved in that? | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
Well, Tribeca got involved, my partner gold involved, we were | :28:46. | :28:48. | |
involved for years trying to get it to be a film, and then it ended | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
upping the musical here, and now we're doing it in the States as a | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
touring company, not on broad way. Maybe a little broad way, but now | :29:00. | :29:02. | |
it's just staying, touring around the country. Of course, Michelle, we | :29:03. | :29:05. | |
know you can sing, we've heard you sing. Yes. Would you ever do a | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
musical or anything like that? No, you look at me with pained | :29:11. | :29:19. | |
expression. I am a pretend singer. I an actor who can sing a little bit | :29:20. | :29:24. | |
when - She was in a musical? Yes, when she was young. Must I say it? | :29:25. | :29:34. | |
It was fun. Greece two. Yes, of course. . The fabulous Baker Boys. | :29:35. | :29:44. | |
You sang in that? And in Hairspray. You've done nothing but musicals. | :29:45. | :29:52. | |
Stop doing musicals! The most surprising story I think in | :29:53. | :29:56. | |
the book is the call you get from your agent, and she's had a call | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
from a tabloid newspaper. Do you know which newspaper I am talking | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
about? Yes. It's another moment when I doubt my own sanity and my own | :30:05. | :30:12. | |
memory. Share with the group. Cher with the group! | :30:13. | :30:15. | |
My agent called me up one day and it was quite early on in my career, I | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
think. I wasn't very old. She said, "Love, a couple of things." And she | :30:21. | :30:24. | |
went through a couple of things. Then she cleared her throat, "Love, | :30:25. | :30:30. | |
um, can I ask you a question? Have you ever, do you think, been in a | :30:31. | :30:40. | |
porn film?" I said, "Oh, pardon?" She said, "Just the papers have been | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
on to me, and they've seen such a film with someone with your name and | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
apparently looks a bit like you." I was thinking, "Have I?" | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
LAUGHTER Really? She said, "Possibly when you were in | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
Italy on your gap year." I thought, "Oh, yes, that probably happened. I | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
was probably drugged and set upon." They put it in the film. And I was | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
thinking no, you're insane. I couldn't remember. I ventured with | :31:14. | :31:19. | |
no, and she h no, and she said, "Fine." "I will get back to them." | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
Which is what they do, they put a nice bit of bait into the celebrity | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
swamp and hope that someone feels guilty, says yes, and they have a | :31:27. | :31:30. | |
story. But, no, because if obviously I was in a porn film, I would have a | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
proper porn name, which everyone's porn name is their first pet and | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
mother's maiden name, so mine is S Suki Dumaney. Has anyone seen that | :31:43. | :31:50. | |
in a porn film. Did someone say yes! We did do some research, and | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
Jennifer Saunders does exist - she's not here. Please, God. We found some | :31:55. | :31:59. | |
of her early work. I am not going to show it to you, don't worry. Have | :32:00. | :32:07. | |
you ever seen her? Of course not. This is her. There isn't much | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
Cheltenham Literary Festival going on! | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
This is her, Girl of the Month. Do you want that for your collection? | :32:16. | :32:23. | |
Yes, please! That is Jennifer Saunders who is probably watching | :32:24. | :32:27. | |
with her grandchildren right now. Wow! | :32:28. | :32:31. | |
That's really quite frightening, isn't it? If I were you, I would say | :32:32. | :32:41. | |
it was you. I would say that. Bob is going er, | :32:42. | :33:20. | |
The full French. But, you know, you must get so many | :33:21. | :33:30. | |
young actors coming up What is the keying you tell them? | :33:31. | :34:13. | |
Each situation is different. It depends who it is, who is asking me. | :34:14. | :34:19. | |
Can Does a day go by when people don't | :34:20. | :34:34. | |
shout out lines from movies and to you, or does that happen you will | :34:35. | :34:48. | |
all the time? I don't get that that often from people. People are too | :34:49. | :34:58. | |
frightened to do that to him. We were having dinner at Gay Pride | :34:59. | :35:10. | |
night. He had his back to the door, and I was facing him. All these drag | :35:11. | :35:22. | |
Queens came in. It's been great talking to all of | :35:23. | :36:56. | |
dreamed your love could be, and so much more. | :36:57. | :37:03. | |
# I hope you're happy with whatever you are. I wanted you to know that | :37:04. | :37:09. | |
nobody is going to choose that. I hope you find it. | :37:10. | :37:21. | |
# Am I supposed to hang around and wait forever. The last words that I | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
said. # There was nothing but a broken | :37:29. | :37:30. | |
heart talking, darling, # | :37:31. | :37:51. | |
Because I would hate that you left without hearing the words that I | :37:52. | :37:52. | |
needed you to. # Because I would hate that you left | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
without hearing the words that I needed you to. | :37:57. | :37:59. | |
# And I hope you find it. What you're looking for. I hope it's | :38:00. | :38:04. | |
everything you dreamed your love would be. | :38:05. | :38:07. | |
And so much # I hope you're happy. | :38:08. | :38:14. | |
Wherever you are. I wanted you to know that, that | :38:15. | :38:21. | |
nothing is going to change that. I hope you found it. | :38:22. | :38:35. | |
Whatever it is I've found with you - well, I hope you find it, what | :38:36. | :38:48. | |
you're looking for, I hope it's everything you dreamed your life | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
could be, and so much more. # And I hope you're happy, wherever | :38:53. | :39:03. | |
you are, I wanted you to know that, and nothing's going to change that. | :39:04. | :39:14. | |
I hope you find it. I hope you find it. | :39:15. | :39:30. | |

and my friend were mastering the tube system. One night we were | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
coming home, and we got into the tube, and there were no seats, so we | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
were, I don't know, a bit bummed, and we stood there. We saw people | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
walk out, raced to the seats. I noticed a guy was reading a | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
newspaper earlier. He was pointing at it, it this newspaper, I said I | :42:50. | :42:52. | |
will be nice, seeing as English people can sometimes be rude. So I | :42:53. | :43:01. | |
picked up the - Do it now! Ing polite kiwi. I threw it over to him. | :43:02. | :43:07. | |
He went on the tube and started - everyone started screaming. Turns | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
out someone had put the newspaper on a big pile of vomit, and there was | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
vomit all over this lovely lead! Off, off, off! | :43:19. | :43:21. | |
