Great to see that the audio is finally sorted out!

Could they not find anyone else to conduct the interview ?

Oh god, she's babbling a whole lot of nothing. Round and round and round and round. Bring it home, Liz! Suspect she was daunted to be speaking to Cambridge kids. Poor thing. Still...gives us respite from the interviewer's pronounced lisp. Eh, you take the good with the bad.

plutorama Really? On the contrary I’m amazed she stayed awake, given the dullness and repetitiveness of the questions. One arguably might have expected more from ‘Cambridge Kids’. She has a wealth of experience and all they harped on about was Downton. Poor Elizabeth.

Mmm, "good with the bad". Your comment sounded pretty much ALL bad, to me. Oh, and that was a cheap shot about the lisp. Know what they say - if you can't be nice - be quiet. It wasn't a performance, and you're not a drama critic.
