that's because I don't watch Telly, but you know, of course, yeah, we never used to let our kids watch our shows when they were little, especially my CU shows, which were a little raw. When they got to 10 11, they probably didn't. Didn't they suddenly find out we were on drugs? That was our job. Yes, they didn't know. They didn't know it. One of them actually came home one time and said to Jennifer, "Mommy, are you really Jennifer Saunders? So she's a girl." at school she had said yes, Jennifer Jen, she goes, she's a mom, that's so lovely, is that you though?

Jennifer used to be, we used to live in Richmond there. Their school used to be across the SC park to their gate and at the gate is Big Star and G's house which is for non-retired service people, a huge monolithic building right on the way to the school and a lot We later found out that they used to think we worked there. I don't know why they thought it was like that. where do you work wow wow because I wanted to, yeah, I remember talking to you before about having daughters and the difference between daughters and sons, yeah, having three daughters, that sounds, I mean, when they were little, that just sounds.

No, I was heavy, I would. I think it would be cool, actually, yeah, I think it would be cool, but you were deeply outnumbered, yeah, even uh, only the rabbit had a penis and he was also Ned, so both of us, the males, have been Ned. God, oh, that must. I'm glad I got out of that comedy game. I have to say, is that you? I mean, because you. I mean, what is it? Because when I agreed to do this, I thought I'd remind myself and I just looked. a little bit passive live, you know when you were live and I just, oh, that, you know, that was, you know, I was really envious even now seeing that go, that's exactly what I wanted to do because that way because you look like both.

It looked like you were having something like that and I think it was a take where Rick had forgotten what it was, he just milked it with such joy and panache. Oh, we, the scripts are so terrible that we used to just pray that people So come on, I'll start having fun, but I mean, I really enjoyed the episode that I did in the yeah, yeah, but that was the joy that you couldn't do that on Telly, but you know when we were doing the Telly covers, but you could go on stage. It was a real pleasure to see, but I can imagine.

I mean, we did it for you. You did it for a long time, didn't you? We broke up in 2003 and we started together in hell 75. It was when you met we did 28 years, yeah, and in the end I just didn't want to do it anymore, yeah, it wasn't that I didn't like it, you know, people think, oh, you must be. I'm not proud of it or you must have grown up and said "hate it" because you're too old. I just did it enough and I couldn't, I couldn't push myself, you have to do it, it's like being an athlete or Something, isn't it?

You have to keep running to be a runner. Yeah, I just didn't want to train anymore, so to speak, you know you shouldn't have any pressure because even though it's fun when you're. on a roll most comedy nights Live comedy is about crowd control and the paranoia that you're not funny, yeah, you know, yeah, and how fast the crowd will turn, yeah, any individual in that Crowd would never be so cruel, right? That's weird, isn't it if you were with just one person and you said something that wasn't so funny and they were like, no, get out of here, you moron, yeah, you'll do it right away, they wouldn't yell that in your face, right?

It doesn't matter who they are, but if you put 2000 of them together, it's a strange thing that happens when you're in a band because I've never been in a band like this before and if sometimes you need to try to tune up because things got tuned up, so you know you're trying to tune and you're trying to speak softly, amuse them with your tuning and look at your little tuner and I guarantee every time you do it someone will tell you to move on. It is a very difficult problem to handle. It is very boring. Keep going.

I would like to move forward. This will take me another 5 seconds. Yes Yes. Interestingly, Twitter is a version of that where, no matter what. you say even if it is the most benign and gentle thing and you know something loving and 800 people agree with you there is one who says you have mispronounced it or you have said it wrong or you have used it you know there was someone who hammers you and they are angry, yes, and they will go. I mean, once I said BBC, I said on YouTube that the British Broadcasting Company in some sort of rant and he said it's the Corporation, dummy, watch well, that's fair enough. point out I know it's the corporation it's my mistake stupid you know mistake the other one was I wrote your name wrong I wrote it with you probably I I think it was mons and you also I didn't check who it was from It was yes, it was a user called Angry Aid.

I don't know who it was. Did you spell Edmonson with a u? Yeah, Ed Monson, you, yeah, you can't, what was that? I remember when I went down the week I was with you when you said someone had said something about it being sexist or whatever and you said you wanted to have a t-shirt, or you had a t-shirt, you said it's ironic that you can't, I don't know if you don't. . I don't think you really had it. I think there were plans to do it. It's good. It was an incredible episode. No? Oh, the one with the is very funny, he was funny, yes, no, he was very good. and I actually hit Rick too, which made me feel bad, he's always good, yeah, it hurt, it's true, isn't it?

Because there is, um, I know a doctor who spent a lot of time in emergency accidents constantly repairing the fractures of young men. hands because they hit someone because they hit someone in the head and they broke their hand and the guy with the head didn't go to the hospital, he got hit, my head hurts the next morning, but he wasn't actually there, yeah. needing hospitalization and stuff, and I remember when, because I caught Rick's jaw when he was throwing the punch and it really hurt my hand, I think I might have hurt his jaw, but he was very, very gentlemanly about it, he didn't complain.

I felt like that. The bad thing is that you didn't receive the demand, maybe so, where are your Scandinavian genetic roots? And a long time ago, yes, well, we like to pretend that we are Norwegian. We have no physical evidence. They did it. They did some research to find out who. I think you are oh did you do that did you do that would you like to do that and I said okay okay and uh they said okay well we'll just do some research and they came back two 3 weeks later and said there's nothing really interesting about your family. it's all a bit boring you just everyone is normal I don't think we can make you cry with your story it's not that extraordinary when I turned 50 I tried to find some other things that were 50 and um uh no Cindy, what's her name Barbie ?

Barbie is the same age as me, that's very cute, she looks good for it and she does it, but who has hair that comes out and you can? Come back in, I think it might have been Barbie, yeah, one of them had a little key on the back and you could pull out her really long hair or she could have a bob cut, which I think is a brilliant piece of technology. Well, we possibly had, you know, 50 Barbies and similar dolls in our house with my daughters, right? They think they're being stylists, but it all goes a little wrong very quickly once you get past the basic Barbie type of length, ha, she's actually the Sprouts beard, shall I go straight on?

This is definitely a route I've used before. Yeah, this boils down to a bit and Tony Blair's house is just down there, right? Yes, it's very nice because it has two police officers in the front with guns and two behind, so when we go on vacation we park our car close, close. his police, oh yeah, there they are, you see them, yeah, and they watch him, we'll keep an eye on you, keep an eye out if there's a problem, if there's a situation, you might come back and find him riddled, riddled. FR we had a conundrum, you can't, it's that I had to remove the insurance and you know Mr.

Edmonson with a or, yes, I don't want to ruin your vacation, sir, but the car has been riddled, can't you? I can't oh I'll let the man cross please do but we won't talk about where you are now everywhere I move in London they do the drains they do it very soon after what that tells you and it lasts A year ruins the area so if you see me looking at houses in your area be careful, rinse it off straight away and leave it, it's been brilliant. Thank you so much oh yeah I'll go all the way so walking from 17 miles around the fence surprises me.

It was fun, I enjoyed it, no, that was lovely, no, that was just divine, it was absolutely. I'm sure you'll get a couple minutes out of that. I think at least three and a half, that's fantastic. Thank you very much, very nice. I don't remember the absolute numbers but um the initial float price was £530 5 and we quickly went back down to about 280 and then back down to about the worst of the internet bubble. 19p, did you do it? Yes, it was for those I think I remember telling BR if he arrives at 10pm. I think we should both stand naked at our desks and start dancing.

Luckily, that didn't happen, but I don't remember what value it gave to the company. about a billion yes, in what income, let's say less than that, it was breathable
