I always felt I was being constantly underestimated when I was a young girl
0:05
and because of that, I probably became a bit of a ****. Dame Helen, Celia, thank you so much for coming in and speaking about the Thursday Murder Club
0:14
I have loved this film. Thank you. Celia, your character has taught me a few things
0:20
Ooh. That it would be rude to come empty-handed. So, a few little gifts
0:25
So that's your one. Thank you very much. I will. Am I allowed to look
0:29
Yes, please. Very good slippers. That matches your dress as well. Very good slippers
0:34
Your favourite, because you swipe them. The jelly babies. I think we should open them up
0:38
I love jelly babies. I think you should. I think you should. Lovely, lovely shoes
0:42
Thank you. Would you terribly mind if I sold them for charity? No, I wouldn't
0:47
Do you know what? That would be a brilliant idea. Can I sign them and sell them for charity? Would you mind
0:50
That would be incredible. But please don't sign my jelly babies, because I'm going to eat them
0:55
No, I'm not going to sign your jelly babies. Now, both of your characters, they're sharp
1:00
They love to be very observant and they thrive being underestimated. Yes
1:04
So Dame Helen. Have you ever experienced being underestimated in real life And how have you made it work to your advantage I think when I was young I was always underestimated And it very hard as a young woman to it much better now than it was when I was sort
1:22
of your age, but it's very hard to sort of break through the, you know, the attitude
1:30
that you are, you know, nothing but what you look like, basically
1:35
You know, it's hard to break through that. from men and women. It's not just men
1:41
I mean, mostly men, but women too. So, yes, I always felt I was being constantly underestimated
1:48
when I was a young girl. And because of that, I probably became a bit of an a**hole
1:54
No, no, you were just standing up for yourself. And I understand
1:58
It's because you're too beautiful, I'm afraid. That's the thing. And that was what you were judged on
2:04
But you're a brilliant actress. So yes, it is tricky, but I suppose the awful truth is that, no, we both think we're 26
2:14
really, don't we? We are. We are. We are. Still. So those things perhaps don't come into it so much
2:22
Now you had a lot of fun making this film we could tell I loved the part you know when you were deciphering the modern slang in the film WTF which we won repeat because it is radio family show But the Cambridge Dictionary has actually added some new slang words
2:36
I saw that. Have you seen those? I saw that, skibbiddle or whatever it is. Yes
2:40
Okay, so do you know what skibbiddy is? Oh, God, I can't remember now
2:44
No. It's sort of... Skibbiddy. Nothing to do with anything or something
2:50
No. Well, I mean, I'm finding it quite hard to understand it because it means a few things
2:54
So if I used it in a sentence, it would be the new meme was so skibbity or that was so skibbity
3:00
But it doesn't mean good or bad. It's a little bit of a... Sort of out of control-y, exciting
3:04
Or neither one thing or the other. Yeah. I think that someone's just added it in for no reason
3:08
It's quite a good sounding name. Because it could mean anything. Onomatopoeic
3:13
Yes, yes. But we did have another one. DeLulu. Did you see that one? I saw that
3:17
DeLulu, yes. So if I was to say... It's all a bit mad. It's all a bit Delulu
3:22
Delusional. Yes. Like do-lally-tat. A bit do-lally. There you go. Do-lally. Amazing
3:28
Yes. Okay, so we've come to the part what I would say would be a really fun one
3:33
but it going to get you thinking because it the question that keeps popping up whenever you get interviewed Now it either good or bad but you could kind of put that to rest So for instance it the one question that we go can you please stop asking me
3:47
So Idris Elba said, please stop asking me if I'm the next Bond. It comes up all the time
3:52
And please stop asking me if I'm the next Bond too, incidentally. There we go
3:59
That was nice and easy. There you go. See ya. Well, at the moment, they say
4:05
so what can you tell us about the traitors? Yes, that's annoying
4:09
It just keeps going. They can ask all they like, but I ain't going to say anything
4:14
That's just for now. Yeah. The question I hate being asked is what advice would you give to your younger self
4:21
Oh, God, yes. Like, oh, I don't know. Like, go away. Well, we did
4:25
My brain goes into panic mode. Well, quite, because we didn't listen to any advice
4:29
We were young anyway. Absolutely. And I wouldn't think of giving ourselves advice. No
4:35
It's an annoying question. I will not be asking you that. Thank you very much
4:39
Ladies, it is such a pleasure to meet the both of you and I can't wait to see this film just flourish
4:44
and become more and more and more. So congratulations. Thank you, darling. Thank you very much
