@bethcushway458 Год назад

I think she is one of the most beautiful women on the planet. Her face is extraordinary. The different looks she can take on with just a slight change in make-up is mind-blowing. I would kill to have cheek bones like her. Stunning lady.

@nicoledeloncrais5940 2 года назад

I simply love and adore the way Rob is so genuine and generous as he interviews. Look at his face as he actually listens to Jennifer, the raporte is sensational 🎉. Thank you Rob!👍

What a beautiful person she is so down to earth for all her fame and fortune. Can’t wait to watch her and Dawn together again.

Class act. Looking incredible. Performing better than ever.

@KeepingTheIronThroneWarm 2 года назад

What a treat. It was in a film class in Los Angeles I watched my first episode of French & Saunders, this was almost two decades back. Hysterical. Their sending up of Fellini (Franco y Sandro) and Bergman had me on the floor. A couple of geniuses, those two. And what a treat they'll be paired together again in Death on the Nile. A clever wink from Branagh. Can't wait.

A big hollywood movie involves MUCH more money and pressure. That's why.

@Nunov103 2 года назад

Jennifer Saunders is a legend, can’t think of anything she starred in that I didn’t like but while I think most people tend to single Ab Fab as her best show, I would say that French&Saunders is just a utterly mad, brilliant show, she and Dawn are two of my personal heroes and every time I feel sad I know that I can go on RU-vid and search some of their sketch’s, great interview 🙌

@vanessaisom8620 2 года назад

I must have missed this one last year!! What a treat to find it! Lovely lady! I always enjoy her interviews, thanks Rob for having her on your podcast.

@viz8746 2 года назад

French and Saunders is easily one of the funniest shows of all time. Saunders' deadpan and understated humor in particular was the perfect foil to Dawn. Reminded me of Peter Cook's foil to Dudley Moore from the 60s.

@foreignparticle1320 2 года назад

Those F&S skits from the 90s are some of the only comedy that I've nearly literally wet myself with laughter over. I don't think their contribution to British comedy can be underestimated. F&S and the original 3 series of Ab Fab have been absolutely intrinsic to my own sense of humour and sense of the world.

@GuanoLad 2 года назад

Though I enjoyed Orient Express, it's French and Saunders starring in Death On The Nile that's got me excited for it.

@PP-bw8ig Год назад

I fancied her 40 years ago & I still fancy her now. Consistency.

@mittens4kittens435 2 года назад

Thank you for posting this! I love Jennifer and Rob. I'm 10 years younger than Jennifer, and was born in Milan and lived there until about 1971-1972. We lived across from a palace-type place where an elderly Count lived. I'm not sure if we were there at the same time, but something unexpected in common. My father was from London.

@andypalin3287 2 года назад

Great interview. Jennifer you are an absolute legend! I agree totally that with advancing years the best advice is to just do your own thing and f..k the consequenses! 🤘😎🎸

@nickwatkins5321 10 месяцев назад

I love Jennifer, she’s brilliant. I wish she’d done more when she was younger as she’s very interesting to listen to. How does she look so good for her age?

@VUK71 2 года назад

so nice to see that genuine excitement… like a kid

@vanessahughes7153 2 года назад

Recently discovered these videos and loved watching them all, happy and relaxed people just having a chat. It really cheers me up. 😀

@kikivolauvent1 2 года назад

That’s one talk which should be at least three times as long as it was. What a delightful and wonderfully ‘real’ chat. Thank you both so much! It probably will be a long time for me to wait for Death on Nile but eventually it will and I’m looking forward to it.

@fidelogos7098 2 года назад

It is hard to believe that Jennifer was so excited to be in a film after all the fame she's garnered for F&S and Ab Fab. Before Ab Fab became available to stream, I actually bought the DVDs. I was pleasantly surprised to see her on WILTY! I watched to see if she laughed at David's and Lee's antics. I wanted to see if she found them as funny as I do! Thanks for this interview. More, please!

@helenl3193 Год назад

And she was in Muppet Treasure Island(!) and has done voice acting in films, but I guess there's fewer movie stars and flashy sets for those... (Tbf pretty sure she didn't have any scenes with Kermit or Tim Curry, who I'd be star struck around) But, it must have been both wonderful and slightly surreal to be doing it with Dawn after their history.

@Sweepdog700 2 года назад

Love Jennifer, she’s my secret lover, even she doesn’t know. Haha . A great talent, one of the best. Completely down to earth, always true to herself. Love funny women, shows intelligence. Class act.

@telegramdan4212 2 года назад

Adore French & Saunders. Together and individually. Jennifer, however, is such an underrated contributor to the medium of comedy. What a writer, what a performer, what a joy to watch. D&J did a show recently about Funny Women (brilliant) I hope Jen knows that as a consumer, gender means nothing to me when it comes to appreciating true. comic. genius.

@eccremocarpusscaber5159 2 года назад

Is she really underrated? I don’t know anyone who hasn’t heard of her, or at least Ab Fab!

@poppysydney3564 2 года назад

Great series Rob - because we often hear stories never told before! I've watched them all on RU-vid. Please can you interview more women - Joanna Lumley, Julie Walters, Amy Poeler, Kathy Griffin - Amy Schumer.. the list goes on!

Dear god I had to replay this video three or four times to fully listen to what was being said; Jennifer is so stunning :/ The Nile film is one of a less-than-a-handful of films I was so miffed at for having its release date forever being pushed forward, I really wish they released it on home streaming during the lockdown.

@baxatakbaxatak2014 2 года назад

This is gonna sound really weird, but I’d have loved to see Jennifer Saunders in Justified. It would be an against type role, and her American accents are quite good.

@lollybaby2 2 года назад

I don't wish for a different family or a different life but I also wish I could have been Jennifer Saunders. Awkward for Jennifer as what would she do while I was being her? I think that's what they call a conundrum in the more well to do parts of Town .

Well that explains why I can never hear a bloody thing and always need the subtitles on lol (and no, I'm not old or deaf)

@Fantasmister 2 года назад

I'm surprised that they're surprised. She was in Shrek 2, and Dawn French was in Harry Potter 3. Both huge movies, and certainly bigger than Death on the Nile.

@mustafa1name 2 года назад

The relative size of the movies is irrelevant. Shrek 2 only involved 4 days of voice recordings for an animated character. Death on the Nile meant being on elaborate sets in a studio, location work in Morocco, and hanging out with some famous actors and high quality crew. If you can't understand the difference between those experiences, you probably get surprised a lot.

@helenl3193 Год назад

Plus I think this is the only time they've been able to work together on a film/Hollywood project. That's what she was getting at - as 20 y.o. they joked about getting carried off to do a fantastic* a Hollywood movie together, and it finally happened! Not only that but an expensive location shoot (her bit on Muppet Treasure Island was in a Elstree or Shepperton studio) with even the Hollywood actors excited about the sets, so it was proper swanky! *fantastic/fantastical in the project's scale, rather than quality of the finished thing - I've not seen it so can't comment on that.

@TequilaToothpick 2 года назад

She was in a fantastic Hollywood movie before- Shrek 2.

@viviencockle2116 2 года назад
