Tonight it's also Dr it's turning increasingly cloudy with Cherry rain spreading eastwards but be off to midnight the southwest the winds will freshen and temperatures will fall an issue down to around 2 Celsius that is 6 degrees Fahrenheit before rising again later in the night so it will be a wet and windy start to Wednesday but drier bright sky should eventually spread east which during the morning as the rain clear is it will then be an afternoon a sunny spells in a few blustery showers now join tomorrow the moderates are fresh Southwest the winds will become strong at times with gusts around 35 to 40 mph and it will feel cold with highs of around 6 o 7 Celsius so that's the mid forty's Fahrenheit and the Thursday and Friday isolated showers are expected on both days but I think much of the region will be fine and dry with variable cloud and sunshine so not a bad day in Norfolk I think we'll get to cease in decent sunny spells but it was the risk of a not shot but I don't think they'll be for everyone and then Saturday now looks like it is going to be cold and cloudy with outbreaks of rain that could tend to sleep for a time we were hoping that the rain would clear actually on Saturday and it would become brighter by the afternoon when I spent you this time yesterday but now it's like that France going to really drag its heels and it's not going to be as bytes to type and that might have a knock on effect on Sunday too when we could have some so wintery showers and not as bright a day as we were hoping but as ever We'll keep a close eye on things and keep you posted. Now Tuesday I guess slot this week is another chance to hear the woman who runs one of Norfolk's best loved theaters she's been the director of the sharing in little theater for more than a decade her relationship with the venue goes back even further she was taken to see a production of test of the Derby bills that when she was only 12 the experience enthused her to train as an actor and one of her stage performances was in summer rep it sharing him in 1992 the sharing a little fair to put on performances throughout the year but Taitz biggest attraction is the panto and it relies on almost 100 volunteers to keep going she says she feels privileged to work there out cheesed a guest is Debbie Thompson. Hello Matthew privileged but a lot of work Cumshaw and sometimes struggle in the street in Financial Times Absolutely absolutely I mean I must be honest and say I genuinely believe I have the best job in the world I love it I love the little theatre it's a really unique space and I absolutely adore it but it is hard work but I'm not frightened of hard work so that's good and we like a challenge and we're working particularly hard at the moment I mean funding is really being reduced and has been for the last 5 years but that's actually given us a new vigor and we nearly self-sustaining not quite we're only 12 percent funded which for a little theater is quite incredible but I'm not sure we'd ever be able to be totally self-sustaining because we are in a little famous summer wrap yet which we'll talk a lot more about later I'm clearly sharing a seaside resort so that is that one of your main stays or what about I mean the palette of course goes in the winter is really important but the summer Rep really is one of our flagship seasons was so proud of it we just celebrated 55 years of summer rep and it's something that personally I have a great connection with I absolutely love summer rep I met my husband doing some of her help at the little theater we did a play called Trap for a lonely man and he was the lonely man and I was the trap and he's been trying to escape ever since I think Oh thank you but no summer rep is really important to us because there's only a handful of theatres doing it now because it's such hard work you know we're working on one play during the day and performing another in the evening then you're going home and learning your next one so you constantly got 3 plays in your head but it's a fantastic training ground as night and one that was actually used by virtually every household name actor going back years absolutely before drama school you know this was the way that actors learned because there's no time to mess about you've got to get on with it you know good to choose your character and go on do the work you know learn your lines and don't bump into the furniture no time for what's my motivation darling you know it's no time for that. We will fight. Doubt about your motivation and how you got into it in the job in hand and showing a little favor as we go through but we also bring in 6 rec holds now tell us how big music i am i love music but I love all sorts of music so I mean my friend is quite an eclectic range for me to say because I'm just like music basically well let's go here 1st choice then the 1st of the 6 What's it going to be well I'm hoping people will remember this it's called the pipe pipe by crisp in some pieces and I remember it because my mom and dad in Norfolk in little village called happening used to like to party and they used to play this song and not. Crispin someplace is the 1st recall choice of our guest this week Debbie Thompson from the sharing little Sasha picking 5 more to come tell me about your childhood because I don't think you were born in Norfolk but you would you probably know that she my father was and we came back to Norfolk when I was about 5 years old and hence that music is very important to me because we moved into a lovely house which my mother still lives satin happening Sadly my father is no longer with us but my mother is there and I'm hoping she was dancing to that because she likes the dolls and I know she's listening but also I was very lucky because we went to a little village school in honing which sadly no longer is that it was only about 24 of us and I used to take that record on on a Friday afternoon we're allowed to do it would school was very different then it wasn't as structed as it is now and I was. Allowed to make plays up and use that music and ask everyone to dress up and I used to be a little director when I was about 5 or 6 my loved it music a movement that was a little you know and I think that's where your love of theatre came from what was it is that I think so I mean I'm very lucky I am related to lovely Nicky Henson who is a lovely actor and obviously his father Lesley Henson So there is acting within my family not in my immediate family but I think I've always just been a show off sadly I was the youngest I've got 2 older brothers and I was always trying for attention I think I'm just a show off so yes right from an early age do you remember when you were 1st aware of the art of acting was it through watching t.v. Listening to plays on the radio or films you know it was actually what really struck me was that she as you said earlier going to the little theatre and seeing this production of test of the Derby hills because the beauty which I still feel about Little Theatre is it's so intimate that I genuinely felt that she was talking to me and it did genuinely affect me and I remember turning to my mother and saying you know I want to do this I want to be an actor you know I just think it's tremendous So it was a big turning point for me do you have any heroes actors that you looked up to when you were young Yes Derek Jackie I absolutely adore Deborah Jack to be from I Claudius in those days it and I was only just allowed to stay up and watch it as a white race racy it was a bit racy so sometimes I had to pretend I'd gone to sleep and I wasn't really watching I was always watching it but no I had door dark Jacobean I don't know why I just think he was a fantastic actor and I did actually a thesis on him for my a level and went to meet him and he was a lovely lovely gentleman and he really helped me so yes that wonderful man and that role he played I Claudius he had a ballerina toy Yes And I think that's a very promising material in that but I think that's what I loved about him is. The fact that he was able to play this bizarre character which actually he's not like a tool and I think I find that really fascinating I do I mean my my children would tell you I'm not very subtle in my acting and I think I like strong characters and things like that I think I really relate to people taking challenges and being brave so he was a very brave actor how does a very very very well and still with this I mean brave thing I mean Winter's Tale you know how did you go about turning your ambition then into reality was it a case of having to go off to drama school yes absolutely I was desperate to go to drama school but in those days you couldn't get a degree at drama school you can now so my mother being very sensible said no you need to go to university so I went to university and studied drama and got my degree but then I did a postgraduate at Drama Studio in London and I love drama school I absolutely loved it and yes just really wanted to follow my dream and was very lucky in that I was able to get my a pretty card through a show that was going on tour because in those days you couldn't act without an Equity card but you know it was very hard to get one that I could see being the only Yeah I think as union What did I think you talk about really wanting to do this but what did you find the most difficult about going on the stage and learning the trade I think it's very for me the hardest thing at all boils down to confidence acting is about confidence and it's those auditions Now the thing is you might know deep down that you are the best you can do it but it's putting that over when you go into an order and then we work with a lot of young people now days at the theatre and we really said to me you have to act that confidence because as being British It's not naturally in you to go in and be arrogant you don't want that and that she nobody wants that when you see an actor come in who's taking over I always think oh you won't work at the little theatre because we can't do these big personalities but same time you have to have a confidence which says I can do this put me in front of an audience and. I can do it so it's finding that balance really of being confident but not arrogant I think learning the lines well must be very different yes absolutely and that it's something that an actor just has to be able to do but for my rep there are some actors that genuinely can't do it is specifically difficult in rep and it doesn't mean they're not good actors and we have had actors in the past that we've had to let go after a play because they genuinely couldn't cope with learning the next one as well so a rep is a little bit different the fact you've got to keep 3 or 4 plays in your head some actors can't do that if you've got to keep relying on the prompt Do you still have someone in front of we don't agree with that I don't write problems because the plan is really the actors should work together as a team a new help your set you know you help each other you save each other I mean my husband always says he married me because the gentleman he was acting on stage with dried he forgot his lines and I was all ready to go on but I didn't have I had another 12 pages before I was due on but I was ready and he saw me in the wings and called me on and I think you did start to our lives over the same time I knew he needed rescuing so I had to extend fries bridge from the other to help each other and often the audience didn't notice whereas if you have a prompt it sort of breaks the magic and they're reminded that something's gone wrong whereas actually normally actors can manage to get themselves out of it but I'm going to ask you what will prompt you to bring us in the 2nd work or how to lose Well this is from the age of 14 I joined the monthly plays and they did a wonderful production of Carousel and I was lucky enough to be Julie Jordan in it which was lovely but I have to admit not being a very strong singer apparently I sing very flat and I don't hear it so I think I'm being marvelous but everyone else has got their fingers in there is so I thought to be lovely to have a beautiful song from Carousel and sang a song by someone who sings beautifully. Lived. Close. Spine tingling stuff from the film version of Carousel You'll Never Walk Alone Shirley Jones and the chorus has chosen black yes this week Debbie Thompson who is the director of the sharing a little theater so you trained as an actor University and going to stage school but axing is a notoriously fickle business is quite precarious So how did you fare early on wow i've I was very lucky but I did have another string to my bow I did do a lot of stage management as well so I was often acting a.s.m. That's how I sort of got started and I would say to any young person I do have another string to your bow because you know companies you know money is tight in the arts and the more they can more things you can offer the better but not as lucky I didn't actually work for about 10 years I had a you know I'm quite a exciting career really doing lots of tours and little bits in television nothing very exciting I was always cast as a social I was never the leading lady I was always a social kind person who would listen so yes so lots of listening and just great fun really and then tried my hand a little bit of presenting but I think it was a bit too much for the camera. It took on tell us about the t.v. You were in then immediately and remember some of these production on Day Well one of the 1st ones I was in was Lovejoy oversea with even McShane and I remember 2 and a lovely was the guest star in that one and I was a guest at her party and she had to pour me a cup of tea. That was any a small part I used to pour budget here what I have been she talked to me once the camera stopped we had to wait for ages she told me all about the teapot and she was very interesting like so no that was really good fun. Bits of that and I did goodness I used to get called up for crime watch. Reconstruction reconstructions but I was always the victim never the criminal I'm pleased to say so yes I remember . And so I had to drive a very expensive Porsche all around London around Mayfair and was absolutely petrified. But anyway I managed to do without crashing your see you could have just driven off into the something I couldn't and then I would be you know what about another crime. But what about the difference between learning your craft on the stage in front of a live audience and then having to adjust to playing to a camera I hear it's quite a different discipline completely different discipline I mean that she meant it as what I was saying I think I am actually quite big for camera you have to be far more subtle than I am. And I think I really did find that in and genuinely watching myself back I used to cringe and think oh goodness you know Debbie don't do so much because you know less is more on camera So yes it is a completely different thing and I was definitely happier and I'm happier on stage there's quite a big conversation though certainly in the Sunday press about actors who mumble on t.v. Productions and the big complaint is was to make or in a couple years ago saying is that recently we people saying we can't hear what they're saying project. Loosely and that is a big problem and definitely you know I have been to productions where a star from a soap opera has been playing the lead and actually I've struggled to hear them in the Theatre Royal and you do think no come on you know you have to do one of the basic things being an actor you're communicating you must be heard now they say it's naturalistic the of people mumble in real life but unfortunately it's we've paid to come and hear it and see it and we want to hear it why do you think this is happening though is it a change in acting style this more well if they say more naturalistic story for Happy Valley I mean I watch that whole thing because I love Happy Valley and those fantastic indefinitely the 1st episode I really struggled to hear what they were saying and their argument was they wanted to make is naturalistic as possible but at the same time you have to remember there's an audience out there. So I think there's a balance that it was it's how they're taught is it a lack of maybe going into rep and doing your hard yards Yes Absolutely although obviously Sarah lank she was a fantastic actress and I love her to bits but I assume they were just trying to get that realism and the director was and saying look come on you know we're we're struggling to hear you but I think definitely for actors the only being on television I think it is a problem and they don't have that technique of how to project so yes or what do they say hit the back wall of the room absolutely absolutely project that's what they say as usual. I don't think it's necessarily a new things I've seen the old films James Dean in your glasses died so young when he was he was a method actor Yes Very here way with. So you did t.v. And stage did you have a preference I mean you said that you felt at least more at home or strap Salut Lee love being on stage I was very lucky to be in the West End for a little while and it's that sense of team and being in the west and just having one big party it's great fun because you feel like all the shows were together actually and we we had times we went and visited the other shows in the West End you go out partying with people and it's just a great great life I don't think you can be live theatre Well if you're in a long running show it must be hard work to replicate the standard of performance every evening really it's just that keeping in your head that obviously for the audience it's the 1st time they've seen it so you are telling them the story for the 1st time so it is keeping in keeping that you know in your mind time for your 3rd record yes absolutely Now this is because as an actor you often need another job as well so when I was living in London I did a lot of p.r. With a company called the associates and we did a lot of promotions for videos and one of the videos was a fitness video and for children and it was. On a Saturday morning show called motor mouth and I had to take the guests on which was Jonathan Ross Boy George Frank Bruno had to look after them all and a group of young lads who were 15 or 16 and we all stayed at a hotel and these young lads drove me mad because everyone else that had a nice dinner but they wanted chips in their bedroom and it was really difficult but I have the claim to fame that I took chips into Robbie Williams bedroom but I didn't know who he was. So we're going to head back and yes really. Take that with Lulu Relight My Fire we're going to break for some sport now it's $631.00 and Phil Daly the Kings in town chairman says 3 points tonight could set them up to win the Southern premier is a huge game at the walks Hereford at the visitors they are one point and one place below the limits to a 2nd the bulls though have 4 games in hand on them head of the game chairman Stephen Clave as told b.b.c. Radio Norfolk his side are good enough to go up call currently we're going to get promoted me however with my other secret about it I think I think we've got a good chance of any team in the league and. I want to go well huge influence on whether we win the league or whether we are in the playoffs only with it today we can win the league if we don't win it today then we were lucky to be in the pro who knows and I'll be back after 7 o'clock with Nick bowler who will bring us a full live match commentary from 745 as King's Lynn take on Hereford plenty of other local football this evening to also have a Norfolk Senior Cup quarter final against Norwegian knighted it's rocks him against dram in the other tie Great Yarmouth town and Thetford who were knocked out of the Senior Cup on Saturday they're both back in League action tonight the bloaters travel to Felixstowe Multan united effort or hope to have helped Barra in the 31st a visionary c.b.s. Their home to Whitney United while Lowestoft town have a game in the box the premier they travel to win and Finchley Manchester City have signed the French defender Laporte from athletic mailed out for a club record fee of $57000000.00 pounds so is the defender ready to go straight into the city side he's the manager. Because yesterday. Especially the many many scientists but I think he's intelligent. Human route to do the situation but he has to leave you individually you know for the English players the young players when coming up. Romilly always a little bit you know tough so we'll be patient because he doesn't come for 3 months he goes for 45 years so that is what it is and City have also reportedly made it paid for lest as Riyad Marez he's just handed a transfer request from Leicester Now back to out Tuesday guess this week another chance to hear the musical selection of the Sherry I'm a little fair to director Debbie Thompson she's been in post for more than 15 years and I asked her what she likes about the job. It's different every day that's what I love about it genuinely You can't get bored there's no time to get bored at a little theatre with constantly moving on it's great fun so tell me about what happened in between then the acting work 10 years of staying yes yes fall in love forming in love with my lovely husband getting married and then we both what does act is and decided that we wanted to family and I suddenly realized that she didn't want to be staying in b m b s in a way on to er and you know not being able to be together if we're going to start a family so we decided to move back to Norfolk because I wanted my children to have the same I did like sort of upbringing that I had had so and very interested in young people both Simon and I had already when we'd been working actually as actors we'd always done youth work as well so it made perfect sense for us to really concentrate on working with young people as well so anyway so bought up my lovely children and then was very honored really to be asked to apply for a job with a little theatre because I had been doing some youth work with them actually thinking about it I've been freelance doing a little bit of youth work and then they asked me what I apply for this job and what I won't know what to do I'm an actress you know and this is programming a theatre running at that on my goodness you know so I was very worried about it and I said it's not you know a little job would be about 10 or 20 hours a week so anyway I was lucky enough to get the job and it turned out to be a big job about 70 or 81 week but great fun absolutely great fun and here I am still doing it tell us a little bit about the series her because anyone who's gone for a day out lovely place to go call sharing and seeing the theatre I mean it's been there in its present form for quite a while absolutely absolutely Well it was built in 890 as a town hall I mean it's right in the center of the town which I think counts to its magic and we're very lucky where it is we have a beautiful cafe and it's right in the middle of the time so you can't miss it and people really use it as it's called the house and. They use the cafe as the Hobbits the place to meet if you want to set any gossip off when sharing and you say it 1st thing in the morning in the harbor and by the end of the day a lot of people be coming back and telling you about I can't believe happened like you were fine just so you. Know we love our gossip but no said the little theaters being that it was actually a cinema in $1038.00 it became a cinema but then in 1960 is when they started to try to do some of repertory theater and that's when they said right we'll change it now and call it the little theater so since 1906 been called the little theater is it a charitable trust or is it by no it's a charitable trust of the lovely district council owned the building and they rented to us for peppercorn rent and we have a wonderful group of trustees who support me greatly and are just fantastic we have a really strong board of trustees and then we have all our members and volunteers so it's a real team effort we all work together so it's a great fun I'm very special because it's only 180 seats it's a really intimate space so when you were in the way you do feel I mean that's why pantomime I think is so popular that you really feel like you're part of the story and they're talking to you and you had John Hurt I think appearing on you know one of recent problems yes that he is I mean we're very very fortunate that he's moved to Norfolk north Norfolk and he's a big supporter of the little theatre he was so lucky his wife is one of our trustees as well she supports us tremendously and he was very generously was the voice of the magic mirror for Snow White which was just incredible to have him doing that it was fantastic very kind of him and all sorts of other axes come and go I suppose and are there any you recognize now it's gone on to bigger things well absolutely a lot of them and funnily enough I've just been to the Theatre Royal to see King Charles the 3rd which I really enjoyed and the actress that played Catherine there was in all red 3 years ago Jenny bride and. So she's now going on to the West End I think they're in Australia at the moment with King Charles with that so it's fantastic and it's lovely because they they tweet and say Oh we remember sharing and we know being back in Norfolk I'm definitely for the red people really want to get that on the c.v. So a lot of actors a very keen to audition for the rep because it is you know as we say a dying trade and they really want to have it on their c.v. So we're very lucky I know a friend of mine who was at the. Studying would be drama there wouldn't that he was now reading the news on network radio in the mornings. Are right it. Was my assistant on when I can Sunday morning said lovely chap and now a very well known reading the new Stern sure and turns and he did a season of repartee that might be before my time yet I do recognize the name but I wonder if that's recently because I've heard of him recently actually look him up in our archives and see what he did yeah absolutely get him to come along and I can say yes I will if you want to milk please I will absolutely be good at that and I'll give you 5 numbers. Let's move on to record number 4 yes record number 4 now this is kook sung by David bow a very sad obviously to have lost a legend recently and I grew up to hunky dory his wonderful Augen while I was doing my a levels my both my children are doing their a levels at the moment and my husband is learning to play the guitar at the moment and kook says the song that he's trying to learn so I'm living with it or not. Bods Another thing is to keep you long time track on a tree damage the flames well. I'm going to. Change the coming but you're going to blow. No one to see to vote maybe I'm gone you because in this neighborhood that's going to be printed. Live you say and I'm a star it is just a longest solder it gets the movie in his. So you take a chance with the car close the long run lol Absolutely. And you know what I have to go and sometimes from how they stop. Big Bites with the buzz on the cats because I know what's gone on the neighbors. A track from the hunky dory album David Bowie and kooks we're playing it for Derry Thompson who is our guest this week picking the record for got 2 more selections to come what about all that backroom boring paperwork stuff that I'm going for someone who is trained as an actor that a little bit sort of tedious it is tedious and I'm hopeless at it I have to do it and I do do it and it's silly I always put it off so you will find that I'm very good at chatting and I'll be chatting away in the cafe and having a lovely day but I know that actually when everyone's gone home I'll be sitting in the office doing all the contracts and all the schedules and all the things that have to be done but I hate doing hit I put it off but it has to be done do you appear in the production and not really because I'm not very good Matthew I do think you know I loved being an actor and it was great fun but there are people who are a lot better than maybe not. Living out 10 years ago he said I genuinely sit and watch the actors that we have in the rep and I marvel at them you know I think they're marvelous I'd never I promise you sit there think oh I could do better I wish it was me I never do I always think Wow Well done you know that was tremendous but we did have a situation with an actress in 2010 where little boy was going off to school and she suddenly had a wobbly and said I can't do the last play she done 3 of them to the con to number 4 but all the budgeting works around the actors being in all the place so to suddenly lose an actor was a big problem for the budget and it just happened to be the play that my lovely husband Simon was directing and he said look it's the same Can't you. Play this you know if you will kind of aid you could do this I'm directing our look after you so because I hadn't been on stage for a very long time so actually I did do it then but as I say everyone was very kind to one help me through it and it was fine but there are people who look better than me and I mean guys you have to I suppose learn the lines pretty quickly outsource it and I can do that no I want Funnily enough I can learn lines now that's a learn and maybe a few. Butterflies of 1000000 the stomach about going back on the stage Yes absolutely a friend of mine is the stage manager and he said he smiled because I just partly walked straight this is big staircase that you go down the little theatre and I walk down this big stack ace and apparently I just took one deep breath and just went straight out. Because you just have to say Right I mean no and off you go and it's fine because once you get that there is great fun in the audience of been you know all those butterflies go but it's important to have butterflies I think you know actors do you need that to give them the energy and the focus we're quite lucky in Norfolk can't wait for our theaters a lot of the towns and of course the theatre all just over the road from us have a book me Gholston and he and Great Yarmouth on the coast what does appear and Wells multi you know we've got tons of fantastic the it is here in the new one in ya mustn't Georges I just think it's wonderful right well I'm obviously I'm a big fan of Norfolk but what I really love about working in the arts in North Norfolk I'm in Norfolk is there everyone supports each other is a great network going on I mean the Theatre Royal really support the little theatre we're very lucky I genuinely feel I can pick up any of the other theatre managers and directors and say to them help you know this is a problem and then the same for me you know and we'll all help each other is a really lovely feeling of support do you think life this is having a really nice on Slate and that we know there's no need to feel pessimistic about it absolutely I feel very positive about it one thing that's been brilliant for the little theater is that we now do the live screen. From the National Theatre and from the Globe and the r.s.c. And that has really reinvigorated life theater I was very anti it I was very worried about it I thought that it would seem very artificial and would feel like we're watching a film completely wrong it's not at all you get the best seat in the house for a very cheap price and you see this wonderful acting and actually it's encouraging more people to come into the theater and discover what's happening it's great it's made it really accessible I know our Friday night culture vulture comes on the program Tony wonderfully he mentions quite a few of these been beamed back backs Yes I know that live related certainly and he's great fun of those especially if it's like a Wagner opera I'm very happy tremendously You can sit in sharing them and see that you know from the Royal Opera House it's just fantastic We're very lucky What about local talent known developed You're quite passionate about that I know the only time when your husband is a drama teacher asked in colleges yes absolutely no young people that really is the exciting part for me there is nothing final For example one of the young actors he's going to be in already this year he I've known Brian since he was 11 in Bugsy Malone He then stayed with us and went through all our drama sessions that we do we run weekly sessions for young people he then went off to drama school he got himself an agent got an Equity card and then came and did some summer repertory with us I think was his 1st professional job was with us so it's fantastic to see that lovely development and the opportunities that we can give young people really exciting and you just see talent and it's really just fantastic to see is there a problem though that some young people seem very motivated by fame these days that's what they want to achieve and of course they probably don't think that it's going to be a lot of hard work which it is Yeah no absolutely you know obviously with programs like x. Factor or what have been things that you know Britain's Got Talent I think there is an element of that and people think oh it's going to be so easy you know I'm suddenly going to become really. But definitely when we're working with young people you know it is warts and all we tell them everything they told me around similar if you can also what record go Yes Well now this is our Friday night let's have a Thompson party night Beautiful Day by the levelers and I have to say some friends of us invited us to go and see them at the u.e.a. This year and I was chatting to my friend right at the front thinking this is marvelous I was right at the front of the stage before they came on then all of a sudden the lights went out and suddenly it's a beautiful day and I was in a mosh pit and I've never been in one before but it was great fun to be able to just. want to be hacked Well unfortunately yes they did they didn't even though they see mom and dad they do Sam is actually in a veto he's play modality in it the night club singer Yes And Katie unlike her mother has a beautiful singing voice but she has a more classical voice I'm so she's hoping to go to the Guildhall School of Music and follow her dreams to do classical music so it's the sort of thing you know you can push them in no you know if we keep saying you sure you wouldn't rather be a lawyer. Chief executive of 4100 company exactly exactly but no but I'm a great believer in you must must follow your dreams because I followed my dreams and I've now got the best job in the world I absolutely love it and I'm just so pleased and I you know I'm doing what I should be doing and I think it's really important and that's one thing I really pass on to them is you must do what you want to do give it a go is there were well there was an actor that you would have liked to have done but didn't get the chance what would have been a dream role remain role well I'm just thinking I was very lucky I played Sally Bowles in Cabaret which was one of my dream roles I desperately wanted to do and it didn't matter if she couldn't sing so well so that was right and I loved doing that but I think probably something like Lady Perfect Lady Bracknell something like that would be. To do one of those big characters would be great fun well maybe you could give us that I'm a. Little bit of a get are you ready for this Matthew. Lady the spirit of. 7 as well as not I hadn't.
