Speaker 2: us a bit about the new series.

19
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: I was thrilled to bits when I was asked to

20
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: do it. I've been through I went to Tasmania, Victoria

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: and South Australia. I wanted to get to Western Australia,

22
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: but I wasn't allowed in because of COVID. It was

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: it wasn't personal. I mean, nobody was allowed, but I

24
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: was able to meet a wonderful selection of people. I

25
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: must tell you I haven't seen the trailers and so

26
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: on that you've seen. I never watched myself because I

27
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:37,400
Speaker 1: find myself rather embarrassing, so I don't watch. But it's

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: not the matters in this, it's the people I meet.

29
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: They're all chosen for me by the production company. And

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 1: I've just put in the camper van and told given

31
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: the keys and told to drive off and meet the people.

32
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: And that's what I do. Well.

33
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 2: Some of the scenarios we've seen our extraordinary You in

34
00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: the car doing a donut.

35
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: Ship. That was a first, and I suspect a lot

36
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: that was my day and English and being a snob,

37
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: a natural snob, I thought I would absolutely hate meeting

38
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: the Bogan And of course I absolutely loved meeting the Bogans.

39
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: And I thought they were charming and fun and very

40
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: tender with each other and caring it was a community.

41
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: They welcomed me and I didn't mess myself I thought

42
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: I'd mess myself when I was a kright me.

43
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: We loved the quirk and the personality you bring to

44
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: all your things, but you, I guess we first came

45
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 2: to know you as as an actress in a number

46
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:48,359
Speaker 2: of incredible productions. I was reading a hilarious story about

47
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: an encounter you had with Arnold Schwarzenegger. He wasn't one

48
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: of your favorites, was he?

49
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: No? I think he's horrid. I mean, you know, if

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: he fancies you, he'll grope you, and if he doesn't,

51
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 1: he'll start in your face. And that's what he did

52
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: to me.

53
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: How did it come about?

54
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 1: Well, to be fair to him, I may have passed

55
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 1: wind in front of him during the rehearsals, not in

56
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 1: his face, kind of around the building, you know. And

57
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 1: we were rehearsing a scene which he has to kill me.

58
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: I was playing Satan's sister and I was lying on

59
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: the floor and he was lying on top of me,

60
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: and he puts his ass right by my face and

61
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: let one rip.

62
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: I'm not familiar with that movie. What was that?

63
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: It was called End of Day? Come off the sets.

64
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: All the crew remember me from End of Days, but

65
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: other people remember me from things like call the Midwife

66
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: and this. Ah.

67
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: That's one of the greatest things I've seen of you recently,

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 3: is you with Jackie Lamby going through Australian slang, which

69
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: I just I like the whole exchange about yeah nah

70
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,799
Speaker 3: because in Australia were so good with yeah nah.

71
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: I had never come across that before, so that that

72
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: was new to me. And she is absolutely terrific. She

73
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 1: is a hard working senator in Tasmania, lots of pizzas

74
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: and personality, really interesting woman. She's had to fight to

75
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: get where she is and I think she's terrific. I

76
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: was very impressed with her. Yeah.

77
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 2: I think that's how a lot of us feel about

78
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: Jackie when she first came on the political landscape. She

79
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: made a couple of blunders along the way, but everyone

80
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: is I think what you say is true. She speaks

81
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 2: from the heart, she speaks from experience, and she's not

82
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 2: cowed by anybody. And a lot of people have turned

83
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 2: like you, And I'm feeling exactly the same way about

84
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: Jackie now. And I love the exchange with her because

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: it's easy to say to English people, do you know

86
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 2: these Australian phrases? But there was such there was such

87
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,159
Speaker 2: quirky phrases that it was just brilliant to watch the

88
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 2: two of you in direct like that.

89
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: Yes, I happen to have seen that because I think

90
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: it's is it a trailer or something? Has it been shown?

91
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 2: Yes, it's a trailer.

92
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: I usually hate seeing myself on television, but I thought

93
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 1: that was quite amusing.

94
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, well you can say it on YouTube. I

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: know doubt I'm going straight to YouTube to see Artam

96
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: Schwartzenegger fart in your face? Was that part of you

97
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 3: hoping that you'd be griped by him?

98
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: For you? That didn't cross my mind? And to be fair.

99
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 3: Either, It's on tonight Miriam Marguli's Australian Unmasked eight point
