Transcript

00:00You went to the Buckingham Palace and received a CBA honor. Did the palace look similar to the set?

00:14Actually on set it feels like we're doing too much but it turns out we're not. So having been

00:21to the palace it's bigger than we've been doing and it's there are more people than we've had

00:28in costume it's you can't quite imagine how how over the top it is.

00:41Well they say it's good to be queen especially for you two times in a row. What in you is able

00:51to understand somebody who has that kind of power or that kind of and that kind of

00:58mixed with that kind of tradition from the moment your first episode of this came out

01:03people just knew you you had it you you conveyed it. That's very sweet of you I think it's in any

01:11actor it's just it's just a job I'm just an actor and it's beautifully written.

01:15If the writing is there then it makes your job very easy.

01:21Oh that's very sweet of you Dave.

01:27Hi Olivia over here. Congratulations such a beautifully understated performance um was this one of your

01:34hardest roles to play simply because you know QE2 is such a she's such a reserved person she's so

01:39you know crisp and she's so she keeps everything inside was how difficult was that to portray on

01:43screen yeah it's hard because everyone knows who she is and what she looks like it's harder than

01:50playing someone who's imaginary um and yes the the the reserved side of it is not something that's

01:56very natural to me um uh yes so on occasions when I couldn't control myself we had to come up with sort of

02:06tricks to try and stop me from crying well they gave me an earpiece so that I could listen to something

02:13boring uh to try and try and not think about what was what was happening around me it's not the mark of

02:20a great actor really. Olivia obviously you are a great actress and you do play the role but playing this

02:31role have you been able to maybe understand more the complex complexities of that role in real life

02:39being the queen um I think that would be presumptuous of me to imagine that you know playing the part

02:47would would I I would have any insight into what it's actually like um so I think I think no um

02:55that's um that's a lifetime of having to be a certain way and and it's it's not I can only imagine

03:05you know it's been an honor to play it but I I wouldn't dare to presume

03:12Hi Olivia last question I'm just curious if if you met the queen or if you've spoken to the queen

03:20and if given the chance what what sort of question would you ask her oh um if I met the queen I'd

03:27quite like to ask her what other jobs she would have liked had she had a choice um

03:34yes I think everybody says what's in her handbag but I don't care what's in her handbag I'd I'd quite

03:40like to know what she would have liked to have been if she'd been able to choose what she wanted

03:45it thank you thank you thank you guys thank you very much thank you

04:02you
