1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: No doubt. By now you've heard of the gorgeous Audrey Lily,

2
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: one hundred and one years old, walking one hundred and

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: one laps of Meffin House, a campaign that's drawn the

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: attention of national media. She was on Bricky TV a

5
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: few weeks back and now she's lined up for the

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: box again on seven Sharp TV cameras in town yesterday.

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: It's always a buzz when that happens, and the village

8
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,080
Speaker 1: was given the heads up. Pretty much every letterbox got

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: a fly dropped in it asking us to join a

10
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: sing along in the community hall yesterday. And this was

11
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: an adapted version of the Proclaimers. Such an awesome showing

12
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: the lyrical genius behind this the music man from Manhart College,

13
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: Sam Luddy.

14
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: What matters here is not that it's perfectly in rhythm

15
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,800
Speaker 2: or in tune. What matters is the enthusiasm and my god,

16
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: it was just full of joy and enthusiasm and energy. Yes,

17
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 2: I've never been on TV before. Three goes to get

18
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 2: the television shots, you know, they need every angle, so

19
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: I think even at a rehearsal it was fantastic. It

20
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: got more energetic, I would say, is we went apart

21
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 2: from my voice, which degraded in quality the more we

22
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: did it, but on the whole Yeah, no, three times

23
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 2: to get all the different angles and microphones and spots

24
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: and stuff that's television right, which we're suited to radio.

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: I think there's some ideables.

26
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 2: Thus, so Janine Holland, who I worked with on that

27
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 2: Bloody Woman the methm Theater Company show, mentioned to me

28
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 2: something about this. You put me in contact with Mandy

29
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: at Medman Central, and it just sort of grew out

30
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: of that.

31
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you're the master one behind the lyrics.

32
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, So I attribute it to my father having the

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 2: entire weird Al Yankovic record collection in the house. So

34
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 2: I just grew up listening to weird Al. I always

35
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: came up with I always like to come up with

36
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: ideas for changing lyrics to songs, and so it's come

37
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 2: naturally to me to just do it. So it was

38
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: actually a pretty reasonably simple endeavor for me.

39
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: Methin's Prince of Parody. Of course, all of this is

40
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: an aid of the wonderful new Methin Central called a

41
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: progress report with Mandy Meat.

42
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 4: I think we're up to fifty eight thousand, believe it

43
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 4: or not.

44
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 3: That's incredible, isn't it?

45
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 4: So?

46
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 3: How's it all been going?

47
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 4: Really really well? It's just been so heartening to see

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 4: those donations come in the Community's are absolutely one hundred

49
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 4: and one times behind us.

50
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 3: How's Audrey getting on with the newfound fame.

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 4: She's she's taking it in her stride.

52
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: She one step at a time.

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 4: Mate, Absolutely absolutely, And this really is the last interview

54
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 4: we'll do at one hundred and one. You can only

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 4: have too much celebrity, you can't. Yeah, you can have

56
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 4: a little bit too much celebrity.

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: Exhausted just watching what she's been up to, it's incredible.

58
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: Has there been any sort of like, you know, new

59
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 3: fun moment for all know? For instance, the zoom call

60
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 3: was a first.

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, the zoop call was her first. It was really

62
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 4: interesting watching her do that. Technology just puts that barrier.

63
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 4: One of the things she said to me is Mendy,

64
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 4: She said, I like to look in people's eyes. And

65
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,239
Speaker 4: you've got to remember, Audrey's someone that hasn't got a

66
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 4: lot of sight, but she still sees people's eyes. And

67
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: I think there's a special lesson in that. From our

68
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 4: elderly they were always so very present when they talk

69
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: to people.

70
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 3: What about her friends at the care home.

71
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:31,200
Speaker 1: How are they want to hear?

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 4: Oh, they've been loving it. So this morning they got

73
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 4: up early, they got dressed, and they put their lipstick on,

74
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: and they usually hit so many of them have an

75
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 4: afternoon rest, but they they wanted to be here today.

76
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 4: And support of this campaign has just been really magical.

77
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 3: You know, I skipped my afternoon nep to get here

78
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: as well. Is there a real buzz around the place

79
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 3: knowing that what in a month's time we're going to

80
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 3: be in our new home.

81
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: It's happening.

82
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah, everybody. Everybody is now realizing this is

83
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 4: This has been over ten years in the making, so

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 4: everybody is just now realizing it is happening. And I

85
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 4: just think if it's going to be so incredibly proud

86
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: once they get inside that here home and see what

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: has been delivered, It's incredible.

88
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,680
