Easily the funniest thing I've heard in years. Emma Thompson being interviewed about appearing in the new Brideshead Revisited movie on Film 2008 (and probably on various other promo watering holes too). She says she didn't see the original TV version in 1981 because she was a punk rocker and thus not interested in that sort of thing*

Well, in August 1981 punk rocker Emma Thompson was not in the front row of a UK Subs gig but up at the Edinburgh Festival winning the inaugural Perrier Award with the Cambridge Footlights (Fry, Laurie & co). Take a look at the picture on this website and tell me how punk rock the future Academy Award winner looks to you...

Then again, I've just seen this advert featuring John Lydon plugging Country Life butter. Maybe I missed a meeting and the world has turned upside down.

*In another interview I've just read she says: "I was wandering about in London with chains and black eye-shadow". Can't see any chains in that picture or in the one on this website...
