In a series for the BBC News website, Celebrities and news-makers are grilled by Matthew Stadlen in precisely five minutes. In this video, Matt talks to Jane Horrocks.
@@martinwoyzeck2634 No, this was before Ab Fab, though she mentioned that she was about to work on a show that was "a piss take on the fashion industry and P.R. women."
She was the best because she was brilliant enough to grasp that Sally Bowles ISN'T supposed to be a great singer or dancer, and deliberately conveyed that.
Extremely talented and from where I live in the Rossendale Valley Lancashire. I was lucky to see her in the play Little Voice in a live production at the Bolton Octagon Theatre. She was astounding...
What a beautiful lady Jane Horrocks is,she is so down to earth.If you met her on the street and knew nothing about her,you would never know that she was famous.
I remember her from the 1990 move The Witches (she played Miss Irvine, the secretary of Miss Ernst, although she had very little lines to say in the movie), and I loved in Little Voice. She has a beautiful singing voice too.
I love how she kind of sounds like Babs the chicken in real life too 😂 i love that accent, wherever its from, you dont hear it so much on TV or in movies
Tales From The Crypt. Season 7, Episode 6... COLD WAR. This particular episode was my introduction to the lovely Ms. Horrocks. Fun to see her playing girlfriend to a very young Ewan Mcgregor in the show!
i keep expecting her to have insane answers like Bubble... "When did you start writing a diary?" "I don't know....I think maybeh...yesTURday?" "Have you got a favorite Shakespeare play?" "Shake...speare....is he the one who played for Sligo?" "Are you an optimist or a pessimist?" "I can't be an OPtimist cuz I don't know nuthin about eyes...so I moost be a pessimist...I think..."
nice person, and Bubbles! what a terrific comic making of the character. Love AbFab, and Bubbles as written was probably funny, Bubbles as acted was great.
I love Jane she’s so good at comedy and I loved her as the good witch in the witches I only figured out it was her recently I feel like I should of known years ago haha
Lovely Lady. Admire her honesty because it would be easy to say I miss The North West but it's the incessant rain that gets most people. For her not only is London weather much better but if she loves variety of life and The Theatre only Broadway comes anywhere near London's endless Theatres..
I would have LOVED LOVED LOVED to see Jane play Lysa Arryn on Game of Thrones. Whenever I see Lysa onscreen, whilst the true actress was great, I imagine Jane's large, wild eyes relishing the role.
I don't know if 'because' I'm from Lancashire but : - I walked into a Bridlington in Yorkshire charity shop in ~1992, and a lady volunteer there, who seemed quite smart enough said: "It's Jane Horrocks!", when she saw me. I'm male, and I'd have been about 36-yrs young.
She and I were pen pals for about a year back in the early nineties. She said I was the first American to write a fan letter to her.
mrcydonia gosh that’s lovely!
How special 😀😍👍🏼
Wholesome.
did you know her from abfab,or earlier stuff when you started writing her
@@martinwoyzeck2634 No, this was before Ab Fab, though she mentioned that she was about to work on a show that was "a piss take on the fashion industry and P.R. women."
The best Sally Bowles in the history of Cabaret.
Cries in Liza Minelli.
@@philbecker4676 she's great as well but they're very much different interpretations of the character
My favorite too
She was the best because she was brilliant enough to grasp that Sally Bowles ISN'T supposed to be a great singer or dancer, and deliberately conveyed that.
Wish I could have seen that.
When I hear Ms Horrocks' voice, I am immediately transported to the mid-90's and Absolutely Fabulous.
This lady is one of the most talented people in the UK , love her .❤
I adore this woman! She always manages to get me smiling and laughing!
She's very attractive and seems smart, sweet and honest.
That was Perfection!
Interviewer was Perfect!
Jane was Perfect!
Concept is Adorable!
Felt very Genuine & Sincere on both sides. ❤ Thank You!!
No one...I mean NO ONE could have been a better Bubble!
Bubble was my fave on AbFab! Her outfits! Love her in Life Is Sweet, too!
No one could ever be bubble apart from her
You comment is absolutely fabulously TRUE!
I would love to see more of her mimicking.... Little Voice was outstanding x
I simply love Jane. She's an amazing actress, with briliiant parts and marvelous comic potential. ❤👱♀️
Her honesty is so refreshing. XO
She’s so wonderful. I adore that she seems to be sincere about the roles television wants to put her in.
Extremely talented and from where I live in the Rossendale Valley Lancashire. I was lucky to see her in the play Little Voice in a live production at the Bolton Octagon Theatre. She was astounding...
I love that she doesn’t understand Shakespeare...me too
Effortlessly from Mrs. Pritchard to Bubbles and everything in between, Horrocks is just an amazing actress!
I still love Lancashire, born & lived there for 25 yrs & the weather still doesn't depress me. Maybe I'm just used to it 😀
Really sweet person , lovely accent .
aww she's so lovely. Loved Little Voice, and of course Bubble is as legendary as Pats & Eddie
She’s so f-in adorable!!! Mixture of craziness and absolute normality. ♥️
What a beautiful lady Jane Horrocks is,she is so down to earth.If you met her on the street and knew nothing about her,you would never know that she was famous.
I love Jane and she is definitely her own person, but she and Holly Hunter could play sisters really well in a film.
I remember her from the 1990 move The Witches (she played Miss Irvine, the secretary of Miss Ernst, although she had very little lines to say in the movie), and I loved in Little Voice. She has a beautiful singing voice too.
Her Sally Bowles was incredible. Check out the show on YT with Alan Cummings as the Emcee. Filmed at the Donmar.
I love how she kind of sounds like Babs the chicken in real life too 😂 i love that accent, wherever its from, you dont hear it so much on TV or in movies
Gosh I just love her
Bianca Buelvas j
How could you not to? She’s adorable!

LOL
She seems like a blast to hang out with, behind the loopy Bubble she is hip and gorgeous actress
Oh that wonderdul Rawtenstall burr, and those beautiful cheekbones. I love Jane Horrocks to pieces.
She is just so amazing.
she is so excellent. great character.
It’s like she talks in two voices at once!...she’s a dream.
Jane Horrocks has voiced Fifi from Fifi and the Flowertots and the princess from Little Princess. She has even played Wendy from Bloods.
I've never seen anything she's in before, but fell in love with her voice as Fenchurch in Hitchhiker's..
ablestmage The way she grew her character as she found more about Arthur. Her range is extraordinary.
I was just about to post words to that effect, but you'd already said it. Have a thumbs up!
Thank GOD she's agreed to Bubble and will be taking the role again.
Really? That's ace.
"You want me to what me what?".
I can't believe that she voiced the little princess on the show Little Princess. When I first watched it long ago, I thought it was a child. Amazing.
Me too, she voiced Little Princess from 2006-2020
What a fabulous interview. Bubbles has brains as well as beauty. Check out her cover song of Joy Division's "Isolation". Fantastic.
MINNIE DRIVEERRRRR?
is it a dwarf.....is it a dwarf...
So common....
nice person, and Bubbles! what a terrific comic making of the character. Love AbFab, and Bubbles as written was probably funny, Bubbles as acted was great.
Bubble, there's only one of her
How much I love her. She had me in stitches rolling on the floor
I love Jane she’s so good at comedy and I loved her as the good witch in the witches I only figured out it was her recently I feel like I should of known years ago haha
Her singing voice is amazing.
She is such a charm!
can't believe this is the same person who portrayed Nicola in Life is Sweet!
My Auntie!!
You lucky girl 😍😀
Lovely Lady.
Admire her honesty because it would be easy to say I miss The North West but it's the incessant rain that gets most people.
For her not only is London weather much better but if she loves variety of life and The Theatre only Broadway comes anywhere near London's endless Theatres..
If they ever remake the Bette Davis movie OF HUMAN BONDAGE , I can totally picture Jane playing 'Mildred'.
Kirk..in Montreal
She was outstanding as Bubble on Absolutely Fabulous 💯 😍
What an utter and total legend !
I'm so glad she did speak to Jennifer about it!
She was a subject of "Who do you think you are!"! She's a very strong woman that looks like she came from a family of strong women.
I looked her up after watching Little Voice.
It's refreshing to find someone else, especially an actor, who doesn't like Shakespeare. I don't understand it either.
what a LADY !!! ....and her not understanding shakespere .....now im in LOVE FOR SURE !!!
you have a fan for life, Miss H.
Fantastic Lady.......love her !!
i love her accent.
What a very nice lady she is
Wow - what a cutie!
She's right about Lancashire weather.
Still among the sexiest and most beautiful women in the world... Bubble. ❤
She played babs in chicken run cute
I ❤ her as "Little Voice".
Absolutely brilliant actress
Wow she sounds the same as her character on Ab Fab. I always wondered if that voice was created for Bubble.
Very talented & naturally funny lady xx
Wish we could see Jane on tv more ❤
She is amazing!
Brilliant talent.
loved her in the witches. she made that movie ☺
I love Jane!
She’s great, and I don’t understand Shakespeare either
I would have LOVED LOVED LOVED to see Jane play Lysa Arryn on Game of Thrones. Whenever I see Lysa onscreen, whilst the true actress was great, I imagine Jane's large, wild eyes relishing the role.
What are you talking about.
My current Bubbles crush just got stronger.
She has great value as a human and entertainer; so talented!!
I don't know if 'because' I'm from Lancashire but : - I walked into a Bridlington in Yorkshire charity shop in ~1992, and a lady volunteer there, who seemed quite smart enough said: "It's Jane Horrocks!", when she saw me. I'm male, and I'd have been about 36-yrs young.
I love mimicking people too it’s fun and she’s right too you either can or you can’t
Syrup sponge? Oh yes please
Bubble, I adore you! 🥰😍😘
Even if time has passed, where might i send her fan mail?
Very Talented Lady Loves 'Little Voice'
I don't want to be in a pie. I don't even like gravy.
I remember her! She was on the.... I want to say Telephone... you look at it!
And that was before Ab fab the movie. 😊
The interviewer is so cute! :-D
I love her accent. Is Lancashire close to Leeds? Does she know the four men?
Not really, by UK standards: goo.gl/maps/pyP1fob7dpewQeoB8
(Who are the four men?)
I love her 💓
Improv questions defeat the purpose. Doesn’t sound convincing! Love miss Horrocks ♥️
she's perfect
I just watched corpse bride she was in it
People are often surprised when I say Jane is my prominent crush.
For her age she’s still stunning. I’d deffo give her one
Shes an absolute beauty cutey!
not shy at all :)
PS..The Matthew guy very cute.
He is damned sexy ....
0:31 "My diary".
And now she is the new doctor who
I noticed that these progs were all made in 2013--has he run out of celebs ?
2:35 I sort of wished he had asked her "Give us an example of a part that is 'obvious' for you". Oh, well. Maybe next time.
I would imagine she got fed up of being offered parts like Bubbles and Little Voice.
MAAAAAAARCHING MAAAAAAAARCHING MAAAAAAAARCHING MAAAAAAAARCHING MAAAAAAARCHING MAAAAAAAAARCHING
He's quite good looking
Agreed
