When I heard all the other guests Parky said would be on the show, I
didn't expect there to be time for Jane Horrocks to be interviewed. I
was glad she got a chnace to talk (or rather, I was glad I got a chance
to see her talk!).
Despite that accent (is it Yorkshire? I'm not always so good with
picking out dialects), I was still strangely fascinated by her. She was
animated, kooky and totally self-effacing. You can be drawn to a person
by so many things.
The thing with the singing, for me, was that outside of the Little Voice
film, there isn't quite the same impact, as that remarkable transition
of her character in the film is absent. Surely that was much of the
appeal, and why we were all so gobsmacked?
It was a good show all round. I don't always watch it, it depends on the
guests, but Sir Nigel Hawthorne and Patrick Kielty were a hoot.
