00:00 Hello, I'm Jodie. Lovely to meet you.

00:02 - Lovely to meet you. I knew this was going to happen.

00:04 I'm going to be honest with you, I don't really get starstruck, but I'm starstruck right now.

00:08 - Are you?

00:09 Because you're a legend.

00:10 - I'm a legend, there's no doubt about it.

00:12 You're such a legend. Honestly, it's so nice to see you.

00:16 - Thank you.

00:17 It's amazing that you're here. I mean, you're blinding us with all the glitter. Glitz and glam. Is this just you?

00:22 - At this age, you need to do something. You know, I can't wear those tight frocks and reveal everything.

00:27 - It's so great to have you here. Is it the TV Choice Awards?

00:30 - Well, you see, the point is I've got a new manager and new agent, and he said,

00:34 "I was going to New York today and I was delayed and changed until tomorrow."

00:38 So he said, "Are you free tonight?" And I said, "Sadly, yes, I am."

00:42 He said, "Well, I think they would like you to come along if you would."

00:46 He said, "When I said that you were around, the production team said, 'Well, would you come and do?'"

00:50 So, here I am.

00:52 - It was for me. They brought you here for me. That's what it was.

00:54 - Just for you.

00:55 - And you were just in a film with Diane Keaton. How was that? You were brilliant.

00:58 - Well, I mean, it was kind of, I don't know, it was kind of an amazing thing at my age

01:05 to be able to sort of work with serious actresses like Diane Keaton, like Patricia Hodge.

01:12 So when you work with people like that, even though I've studied very hard for the last seven years

01:17 with an acting coach, I think when you work with great people, you kind of have to rise.

01:24 - Yes.

01:25 - And it was, I think you hopefully, it hopefully rubs off, you know.

01:28 But we all got along so well, and we worked very hard. I worked very hard on my character.

01:33 I just loved it.

01:35 - Oh, you held your own on more?

01:37 - On more.

01:38 - Now, listen, you're saying about the tour, you--

01:40 - But what about how funny it wasn't that the character was not Scottish when I got the script.

01:44 - Aye.

01:45 - She was going to have to talk like that, you know. And I said, "Well, what about it if I change?"

01:50 Anyway, it all changed, and I became Scottish.

01:54 And then Brian Cox asked me to do a little radio show with him.

01:59 - Hey!

02:00 - Yeah, and Scottish again. So I sort of feel Scottish thing. It's like my roots are taking over.

02:09 You know what--

02:10 - It never leaves you. It never leaves you.

02:12 - Well, it never leaves you, but somehow it's very prevalent right now that I find myself playing parts where I'm Scottish.

02:19 - And we love to see that. Well, your manager was saying the opening night's going to be in Glasgow.

02:25 - Yes!

02:26 - Are you looking forward to it?

02:27 - Yes!

02:28 - Honestly, I need to be there.

02:29 - You have to be there. Oh, and I've got a very excited guest.

02:32 - How cute! Is it going to be epic? How does it feel for you when you go back to Glasgow?

02:36 - Well, it's as weird as it seems. I do say I'm going home.

02:43 - Yeah.

02:44 - And I've not lived there for 60 years, but--

02:46 - It's heady.

02:48 - It's--you know, when anyone ever says, "Oh, you're English?" And I go, "No, I'm not. Oh, no."

02:54 It's that your roots stay with you. And I'm so proud to be--to say that I'm Scottish. I don't know.

03:04 - And we're proud to claim you, honestly. So you don't want to do another tour, but you are doing other concerts, right?

03:08 There's more concerts coming up.

03:10 - Well, there's no concerts right now. I'm going to go into the studio and start an album as soon as the tour is finished, yeah.

03:15 - Right.

03:16 - So I've got some interesting people working on that with me.

03:18 - So another album? Oh, you're spoiling us. And a documentary? Is that still in the works?

03:22 - Well, they're talking about it. So--

03:24 - What about a biopic? When are we getting the Lulu biopic?

03:27 - I don't know. Maybe that'll be next year.

03:29 - Who would play you, though? Who would you want?

03:31 - Oh, my God. That's a really difficult question. I mean, it's difficult to answer.

03:37 - I'll do it.

03:38 - You could play me, no problem. They've trouble with the accent anyway.

03:42 - I mean, there's definitely better people out there, but--

03:44 - Well, you know who would be great at the accent, because I think she's my favourite at the moment, is Saoirse Ronan.

03:48 - Yes!

03:49 - Saoirse Ronan is my favourite, and she can do any accent, but she's a wee bit sssss. She's got that tiny wee face.

03:54 - But she would be brilliant as well.

03:56 - She'd kill it! She kills everything. I mean, I'm going to say kill it. She'll nail it. She'll be brilliant.

04:00 - I'll get my ability to pull hard people, and we'll get this on--

04:03 - Saoirse. Saoirse will be on.

04:05 - Listen, you're an absolute legend. It's such an honour to meet you.

04:08 - Thank you, darling.
