[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 251816, member: 23"] I'm still dipping into Victoria interviews, including this one to promote [I]Acorn Antiques: The Musical [/I](but covering much of their histories together): [CENTER][MEDIA=youtube]6fSMQKTcn8I[/MEDIA][/CENTER] It's great to see Duncan and Celia discussing their work with Vic. Duncan was a lot chattier than I'd expected. Julie seemed almost reserved in comparison. I'm now very curious about [I]The Cedar Tree[/I], since Vic mentions it as one of the inspirations for [I]Acorn Antiques[/I]: [CENTER][MEDIA=youtube]Z6OoDtcKuTQ[/MEDIA][/CENTER] The hosting and research, though, is abysmal. Des calls Celia "Cecilia" and calls Miss Berta "Mrs Butler" (Mel "corrects" him with "Mrs Berta") and they also refer to "Miss Overall". Worst of all, Mel asks Vic about her cancer scare (she hadn't had one). Midway through, Vic charmingly puts them in their place with a gentle humorous rant: Julie got a couple of brilliant parries in as well, asking Des if he was trained, and making a really funny comment about his singing career. I can imagine the experience only reinforced Vic's abhorrence for vacuous daytime TV shows, and perhaps gave her more fodder for satire. She talks about her inspiration for the daytime TV spoofs at 3:10 here: [CENTER][MEDIA=youtube]Jrd8qhzagGU[/MEDIA][/CENTER] [/QUOTE]
