regard for him now. he s an enormously generous man, a man who s done a great deal to help many others in the bbc during their careers and was always willing to work extremely hard and with enormous professionalism. so, i ve heard his name for many days, but i ve always hoped it would turn out not to be true. it is a genuine personal tragedy for huw edwards, a nationalfigure personal tragedy for huw edwards, a national figure who has personal tragedy for huw edwards, a nationalfigure who has been placed at the centre of a scandal in which clearly he has some role, and that is in itself tragic for hugh and his family. but he is someone who will be remembered very affectionately, and i very much hope there will be a be remembered very affectionately, and i very much there will be a and i very much hope there will be a way back for huw edwards in some way back for huw edwards in some way, because he s an enormously way, because he s an enormously talented man and it s terribly sad to hear

and ijust wonder whether you were comfortable with coming a nationalfigure? yes, and it did all happen the same time. they were at a similar time, little voice the play, and ab fab the tv series. so i think when you do a tv series that has got such attention, that is when you get your recognition, really. so, i think i probably get more recognition from ab fab than i do from little voice. which is strange in a way because it s a much richer, deeper performance and whole sort of atmosphere to little voice. what do you mean? bubble was deep! laughter she was hilarious, whether she was deep is a question. is it that you don t mind that you live with because it s natural that television does sort of dominate. when people identify you as oh, i know that face, i know
but do you think it s sort of changed your life in a way? erm, i don t know whether it did or not. it kind of i d done quite a number of things before that but maybe doing the play did sort of semi change my life in that other things were happening that time and because of the play of little voice i was offered other things, people became much more aware of the after that film but whether it changed my life, i don t know. it made you much more famous, for a start and then it led to other things, for example, you got involved with one of the most successful situation comedies in the uk, around the same time and that went on for years, it was absolutely fabulous, in which you had a very funny part. it was you as a complete airhead, a very silly girl, called bubble but again that made you a very familiar face and ijust wonder whether you were comfortable with coming a nationalfigure?
