21
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,840

24
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,440

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: I a tempted to ring for nanny and have you

26
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:29,679

Speaker 1: anything with her in it is going to be a

29
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: complete gift. People are being telling these wonderful stories about

30
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: how they met her and how lovely she was. I

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: saw this one, someone said in the early seventies. I

32
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: was waiting to be served in a bar in a

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: pub in Belgravia. An older gentleman pushed ahead of me

34
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: to place his order. He was rebuked by his companion,

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: who then insisted that he had to buy me a drink.

36
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: It turned out that he was the actor Robert Stevens,

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: and he was there with his wife, Maggie Smith, and

38
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: he asked what I was ordering? Because Maggie obviously said

39
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: you have to buy that young man a drink. You've

40
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: pushed in. When he asked what I was ordering, I

41
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: told him I was buying eight pints of guinness for

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: my rugby team at the other end of the bar, Dave.

43
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: Maggie insisted that he buy drinks for all of us

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: and came over to join us for a memorable channel.

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: That's nice. Yeah, people who are nice when they don't

46
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: have to be. That's the sign of a real person,

47
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 1: isn't it. That's what it's like. That's what that's what

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 1: it's like. Well, it's like you. When you're out filming

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: stuff and people see you, they always are happy to

50
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,079
Speaker 1: see you. I started the show by mentioning a woman

51
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: it come up to me and said, oh, there's so

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: much You're so much more attractive than you are on television.

53
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: But I don't know where to put myself with that.

54
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: I think it's good. I think that's a good compliment.

55
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: So the three people that know in your real life,

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: I think you're all right, but the people see on

57
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: TV think you're a bit of a rough head. I

58
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: don't know which which one i'd prefer. What would you

59
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: prefer I don't know, I don't which talking about Maggie

60
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,000
Speaker 1: Smith and me in the same sentence and our professional work,

61
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:54,799
Speaker 1: I'm thrilled with that
