The way she delivers the lines in these are hilarious. "we spoke to him on the phone yesterday to make sure he could talk properly, before we spent all the money on cameras." lol
@@johnturner2889 Just returned from Hols and dealt with four site supervisors, electrical engineer, QS and lead architect. Its not worth dying for, one heart attack was enough. Five jobs back on track with a smile.
It’s not just professional, they used the exact same stock footage of London and the same background music the BBC has used for their great art and history documentaries with Fiona Bruce and Andrew Graham-Dixon and Alistair Sooke. It’a brilliant. 😂
y'all can't congratulate one woman without diminishing another lmao the perfect balance or smth

Lmao she was like “We had to spend a lot of money for the cameras” and then “Who are you?” in the most direct way. The interview ended and accomplished nothing 😂😂😂
Charlie Brooker is a great writer. He once said (through Philomena), and I paraphrase slightly: "Donald Trump is rich, which is the American version of clever". Oh, brilliant!
Especially during 18 months of lockdown! 🤔 He must have been round at Boris's. Hang on... he's an architect... and a lecturer... more likely to have been at an event in Durham. With beer and curry.
This guy Dr. Ian Borden wrote the book on how defensive architecture as it pertains to skateboarders has driven urban development for decades. He's actually a really cool guy.
I like to think she had another joke to make when doing the homes under the hammer bit, but was so surprised she had to keep on him for not watching it
Considering how modern architecture looks compared to the old (often derelict) properties shown on Homes Under The Hammer, perhaps Philomena is correct and architects should be required to watch the program.
Living in Australia as I do I had never come across this woman. I watched this clip because I thought, "Could anybody really have a name like that?". Now I'll be watching all the others, it's fecking hilarious!
I love the explanation for the for the hideous ugliness of the national theatre. It's so people want to be inside it so they don't have to look at it and are prepared to sit through boring plays to achieve this.
I doubt that the over the top dislike of Brutalism is what the sophisticatedly honest Diane Morgan herself feels. Her character is supposed to be curious but have a thin grasp on detail, exposing people's follies by talking to them. It is a very mundane level of middle class that finds The National Theatre ugly. The trendy parts of the working class and the upper middle class and above, I feel broadly confident in saying, find it adventurous, honest, semi-exotic like an Aztec temple, whilst being true, in its materials and colour, to drizzly, serious, London.
@@Picnicl Hello from Mexico. Aztec temples are stone ruins 500-700 years old. Originally the exteriors were painted in rich red/white/turquoise. Some were covered top to bottom in murals, and some even had gilded and jeweled accents on the sculptures decorating them. The National Theatre, on the other hand, is a concrete box not even 50 years old. It is an unfinished gray box with rectangular tumors. The two are similar only in the fact that they're both buildings... (even though the NT is closer to Philomena's shoe!)
@@rhel373 The truth can be so complex that it's impossible to try to edit it in to a small RU-vid comment without seeming pretentious. Particularly when even talking about architecture can be regarded as pretentious. It's important imo that the underlying exoticism or fortress-like specialness of these public buildings is recognised so that the best of the 60s isn't erased
I absolutely love her! Life is hard and she puts it in perspective through comedy. I wish I could replace every voice command I have with her voice and her wit.
Although I personally believe it won't take nearly this length of time, I hope that I survive another 30 years so that I may see the first humans with skins made of bricks.
what she is (separating the post below me) is an inspiration - she takes a serious subject. one that should learned about but is often ignored... and makes it attainable.
