"It's the ash! It's falling!" yelled Julian, almost startling Dick out of his wits...
"Listen to its terrible groans and creaks!" yelled Julian, almost beside himself with impatience.

Tony looks even more delighted than you do, Steph!

Lovely Man-Bag, Tony!
It sounds as if you had a great day. Are you flying out to Broadway, Stef?

Re: Jemima Rooper
Unfortunately no. I'm not.
Wish I was though.
I have a feeling that the cast would tell me off if I did that!

I heard that Jemima had only moved the show to Broadway to escape from you!

I suppose good old Nigel would have liked to watch ARTE - they aired all four parts of "Lost in Austen" trilingual - English, French an German.

Re: Jemima Rooper
Well done Steff and Fiona, quite a scoop indeed. I had to grin at her memory of being recognised at a festival. Covered in mud and the worse for wear it must have been the last thing she was expecting.

Great interview, Steff and Fiona. An enjoyable read. I do so love the 1990s FF TV series.
