Talented well spoken and worth listening

Good summary of her book and an interesting person. Worth listening to and it brings back fond memories of her being in Mama Mia 2 in the beginning.

Unexpected interview showing Celia's 'dark side'

You always expect 'Dinnerladies' or 'Acorn Antiques' to be churned out for the umpteenth time so this comes as a very refreshing few minutes.

Interesting subject, opportunity missed

I really like Celia Imrie both as an actress and person, however I was a bit disappointed by this interview. I think partly because the interviewer kept going off topic, or asking sort of non-questions and Celia Imrie has to do much of the interview on her own. There is some substance here, but she's such an interesting woman, there are a lot better questions the interviewer could have asked.
