00:11Oh
00:11God, that's so overwhelming.
00:15Oh my God. Is she here?
00:18Dear. Hello. Hello.
00:20It is here. Hello. Hello.
00:23It's lovely to see you all.
00:25You're coming to Mars. Am I here?
00:26Yeah, you're in a hot seat.
00:28Rose in between two thorns.
00:32Your name? Anna.
00:34Hey, Anna.
00:37Hi, Anna. Nice to meet you.
00:39Nice to meet you.
00:40I hope you don't eat fruit or vegetables.
00:43I say I have a phobia.
00:44I have a little fear of sandwiches.
00:48OK. Why is that?
00:50No-one else feels similarly.
00:51No. No? You can't even relate. Can you relate?
00:54No.
00:55No.
01:07What age are you?
01:08Harry, would you like to introduce us?
01:09Of course.
01:10Good luck, Harry.
01:13Hello.
01:14Hello.
01:14And welcome to the assembly.
01:16Thank you for having me.
01:17Our collective of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled interviewers.
01:23Our rules are no subject is out of bounds.
01:28No.
01:28No question is off the table and all might happen.
01:32Please tell us who you are.
01:35My name is Anna Maxwell-Martin.
01:37I'm an actor.
01:38I do a bit of advocacy as well as my spare time, but mostly acting and mumming.
01:44Very nice to have you here today, Anna.
01:45So you're, you know, motherland as well?
01:49Yeah, motherland was a big part of my life.
01:51Would you be in Streetly?
01:53No.
01:54We're going to start with a question from Nicola.
02:00How are you?
02:01Hi, Nicola.
02:02Hello.
02:03How are you?
02:04How much are you getting paid for this?
02:07Oh!
02:09Oh!
02:12I'm not being paid for this.
02:14How do you know?
02:15If I say it?
02:16No.
02:17OK.
02:20Can you eat a roll or a bat?
02:24That's in the area of sandwiches, isn't it?
02:26Yeah.
02:29Yes, I think I could if it was very plain.
02:32What about ketchup?
02:33Yeah.
02:34I don't agree with ketchup.
02:38Thank you, Nicola.
02:40Next, we're going to hear from Jamal.
02:43Hey, you all right?
02:44Hi, Jamal.
02:45How are you? You good?
02:46I'm good. How are you?
02:47I'm good. I just came from Nottingham today.
02:49Did you on the train?
02:50Yeah.
02:51This morning?
02:52Yeah.
02:52That was early.
02:53I know, I know.
02:55Yeah, visit sometime.
02:56I will, I will.
02:58OK.
02:59Have you ever used your acting skills in real life
03:02to maybe hide an aspect of yourself?
03:08Yes, I definitely can put on more of a show
03:13with people than I would feel naturally
03:17to be comfortable in a social situation.
03:21I have also used my acting skills
03:23when I got into a spot of bother at an airport.
03:26I didn't have the right ticket, so I did a lot of crying.
03:29Why?
03:30And pretending of sort of having a breakdown.
03:33That's good.
03:33So they'd let me on the plane.
03:34Oh, OK.
03:35That's cool.
03:36Yeah.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Well, I was just like, hey, I really went to it for it.
03:41It was in Singapore, so I was a long way from home.
03:47Yeah, so sometimes you have to, don't you?
03:49Getting out of a spot of bother.
03:50Yeah.
03:51Yeah, I like that.
03:52It's cool.
03:53It's cool.
03:57Our next question is from Essen.
04:00What do you think of method acting?
04:07I really think on acting, each to their own.
04:11Do you know what I mean?
04:12No judgement.
04:13Whatever you want to do to fulfil your job title,
04:16it's totally up to you.
04:17Yeah.
04:18I would probably say maybe more men are able to method act
04:23than women who are probably doing an online shop
04:26to the supermarket whilst also doing their job.
04:30Yeah.
04:30So, yeah.
04:33Thank you very much.
04:36Ali, you're up next.
04:39Did you ever stand up for yourself
04:41when you were bullied in the industry?
04:44Yeah.
04:45Yes, I've always stood up for myself.
04:48Oh, that's good then.
04:49Yeah.
04:50I'm glad you did.
04:51Yes.
04:52That's kind of a short one.
04:53OK.
04:55How often do you laugh every day?
04:58Oh, I'm a big giggler.
05:00Big giggler.
05:01I think I laugh a lot.
05:03I laugh with and at my kids a lot.
05:06That's what I thought you would say.
05:07And luckily they laugh a lot, which I'm quite glad
05:11because, you know, they've had a tricky road
05:14and they still do laugh a lot.
05:16I laugh when something was funny.
05:19But you're a great laugher.
05:21She's good at that.
05:22Yeah, I find quite a lot funny.
05:24Yeah, OK.
05:26OK, thank you for your time, Anna.
05:29Thank you, Annie.
05:31Mikey, you're up next.
05:33Go on, Mikey.
05:34Hi, Mikey.
05:34Hi, Anna.
05:35It's nice to meet you.
05:36You too.
05:37I just wanted to ask you a question about...
05:39It is about loss.
05:42Cos I've recently just lost my dad.
05:45Oh, Mikey, I'm so sorry.
05:47So I just wanted to know,
05:49how are your kids sort of dealing with their dad's loss?
05:52And do you have any tips?
05:53Can I give you a cuddle?
05:55You don't have to have a cuddle.
05:57Shall I just rub your arm?
05:59Mikey.
06:00I'm so sorry.
06:02It's free.
06:02It's free.
06:03No, you don't need to...
06:04Hey, you don't need to apologise.
06:08But how are your kids sort of getting through it?
06:10Well, thank you so much for asking,
06:11because sometimes,
06:13and I don't know if you found this,
06:14people don't ask
06:16because they're scared, aren't they?
06:18Yeah.
06:20For my kids, it was four years ago.
06:25I give you all the strength I can muster
06:28because it's a long road
06:29where you need a lot of patience, don't you?
06:31Yeah.
06:34I'm lucky because I have this very nice support.
06:37They're very supportive.
06:37We all have your back, Mikey.
06:39Yes, we do.
06:40And I think if it was like last year or any time before that,
06:44I wouldn't have got through it.
06:47Mikey, I'm so pleased you found your people.
06:49And, you know...
06:55He's looking down on me and he's proud of me.
06:57Oh, gosh.
06:58Without a doubt.
06:59I'm quite grateful for that.
07:00Yeah.
07:01So, my next question is,
07:03and it's a bit shady,
07:04so you might want to...
07:06Here we go.
07:07...muckle it down a bit.
07:08My next question is,
07:10I heard you met your lovely new man at work.
07:14Yes.
07:14Could you spill the tea on how you met?
07:17Yes, I will spill the tea.
07:19What's a new man?
07:19He is a cameraman.
07:21Really?
07:22Ooh-hoo-hoo!
07:24Is he one of these cameras?
07:25He's not here right now.
07:26Oh, I thought that was him over there.
07:28Who is he?
07:31His name is Richard.
07:33Oh!
07:33We'd just come out of Covid and I was on a production,
07:35and I thought he looks nice.
07:38And so I made it clear to him that I thought he looked nice,
07:42and then we went on a date.
07:45And you got married.
07:47Nice.
07:47We're not married.
07:48We're not married to the cameraman.
07:48We're not married.
07:49I'm not marrying any of these cameramen.
07:51Oh, we knew it was good though.
07:53No, he's lovely.
07:55You're lovely.
07:56But I've got a dicky now, so I don't need you.
07:59Thank you very much.
08:00Thank you very much.
08:02Now we're going to hear from Julis.
08:07Hi.
08:08Hi.
08:08Bringing the energy down a bit again.
08:12I also lost my father four years ago when I was 16,
08:16and I know how difficult losing a loved one at a young age can be,
08:19or at any age.
08:21I was wondering if, because I know you also experienced that,
08:26do you feel it put you in a better position to comfort your children?
08:30Because you'd also been through that, or was it maybe a more traumatic thing
08:33that you found quite difficult to get through while also being there for them?
08:39That's such a sweet and insightful question.
08:41Thank you so much for that question.
08:43Sorry, I missed your name.
08:44Julis.
08:44Julis.
08:45I'm so sorry.
08:46I'm sorry about what happened.
08:47It's really hard.
08:48Yeah.
08:55I think it's sort of a, it's a yes and a no.
09:01I lost my dad when I was 24, and it was very, very hard, and I felt very, very, very
09:08alone.
09:09Mm-hm.
09:10So, that was that, and then obviously it happened to my children.
09:16And I think in a way I could understand better, of course,
09:18because I understand about loss.
09:21I really tried to be the best mum that I could for them.
09:28I think sometimes I failed in that, and I, you know, sort of pick myself up and apologise,
09:34and, um, trundle on.
09:37I just think it's so individual, it's so hard.
09:41I can see how hard it is on you.
09:43You can see, Mikey's getting upset, and we absolutely, you know, we all feel it.
09:49Do you know, I can say, I know this is a real cliche, it is, but I do think it's
09:53true.
09:54It, it has made me, like, bizarrely, such a positive, tenacious person.
10:01And so, actually, in the end, it's been, it's been really fucking hard.
10:08I'm not going to lie to you.
10:10But, it makes me, like, just smash the doors off of life.
10:17Yeah.
10:22Strong.
10:25We all, we all got your backs.
10:29I have to check, see if the children are fixed.
10:37Your daughter.
10:38So, I, I just do worry about them a bit, so I check, um, or check a lot.
10:43I also do have to get somewhere, so I hope they are trying to get there.
10:47OK.
10:48And not lying in their beds.
10:49Oh, do you?
10:50Yeah.
10:51Uh, now we're going to hear from Tomislav.
10:53Hello, um, my name is Tomislav Ivan, translated from Slavic Croat, Croatian into English, Thomas John.
11:02I'm diagnosed with autism, bipolar, and I'm morbidly obese.
11:07And I adore Celine Dion.
11:09Don't we all?
11:10She's a lovely person.
11:11Well, it would be a great honour for me if you read my poem.
11:17It's called Mr. Jupiterian.
11:18He's from Jupiter.
11:20Read it, Anna Maxwell Martin, star on stage and screen.
11:24OK, it's called...
11:25I wrote it myself.
11:26Mr. Jupiterian.
11:27Yeah.
11:30Mr. Jupiterian drives back again.
11:33He drives no-one knows when.
11:36Mr. Jupiterian marches down the slope of his flying saucer.
11:40He says to the crowd that he's a fan of Chaucer.
11:44I've come here from planet Jupiter.
11:47Here to your Earth is giant Gulliver.
11:50Is there some place to let with a 50-metre bed?
11:54He had a packet of Marlborough light before he slept.
11:57For home he wept.
12:00He got a grip and entered his ship.
12:05I told the crowd, I'll miss you.
12:08So then off he flew.
12:10That is absolutely brilliant, Thomas.
12:13And keep it.
12:14Keep it.
12:15Your present.
12:16I love...
12:17He got a grip and entered his ship.
12:19I mean...
12:21Do you write question mark?
12:24I write but not as well as that.
12:27Now we're going to come to Sophie.
12:30Your shoes are amazing.
12:31Mark Suspensers.
12:32I know they do some really good things.
12:34They are on form at the moment.
12:37Hello.
12:38Hi. Hi Sophie.
12:39What did you shoplift from the shops?
12:42And did you ever get caught?
12:44Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:45OK, so I...
12:47Look, I'm not advocating this, OK, guys.
12:49Just so I'm going to make that very clear.
12:52No-one go shoplifting.
12:53What I found out, Sophie, was, I don't even know if this is true,
12:58that for a year after you've had a baby,
13:01they think you're a bit...
13:03..off.
13:05And so they don't really prosecute you for shoplifting.
13:09And I got this into my head, so I thought,
13:11yeah, I'm going to...
13:13I'm going to have a few things.
13:15I don't know.
13:16And I would take very big things,
13:18so, like, a case of wine.
13:21Yes.
13:21Or those big...
13:22You used to get these big boxes of nappies.
13:25And I would just keep the big thing in the trolley,
13:27and I'd go through, and if they said,
13:29oh, love, you haven't paid for that big box of wine,
13:32I'd go, oh, God, sorry.
13:33Or I'd get the babies to hold things.
13:36Did love got one off, love?
13:38Yes, I did get caught with a warning
13:41a couple of times in the supermarket.
13:44I'd start acting again, crying, saying,
13:46I'm very, very tired.
13:47I've just had a baby.
13:48I can't cope.
13:49Sorry, Maggie, give me back that mascara.
13:51Why are you holding...
13:51Why are you taking a mascara, Maggie?
13:53Oh, no!
13:56Yeah, just blame the six-month-old baby, if in doubt.
14:01Tell us something that you've never told anyone before.
14:09Um...
14:10I would say I do have a crush on...
14:17Where's that cameraman?
14:18Oh, he's...
14:19I knew it!
14:21Tell us, Dad.
14:22Do you like him? He's dead.
14:23No, it's not him.
14:25Oh, OK, OK, OK.
14:27Um, on...
14:28Is it Ant or is it Dec?
14:31Uh...
14:31The littler one.
14:33Dec?
14:33Ah, Dec.
14:33I'd say I've got a little crush on him.
14:36Oh.
14:36Yeah, I've never said that before, but now I have.
14:40OK, next we have a question from Chardonnay.
14:45Hi, Anna.
14:46I'm Chardonnay.
15:00Hi, Chardonnay.
15:01Thank you for that.
15:02Yes.
15:03Um, I'm not a reform girl.
15:05Um, and Labour, who I did used to support, unfortunately...
15:10Oh, yeah.
15:10...have made big cuts to the adoption of special guardianship support fund.
15:15...who support really vulnerable children.
15:17And I'm so disappointed that the Labour government have cut that therapy funding.
15:21So...
15:22You see what happens when you vote for Labour?
15:24You see?
15:24Oh.
15:24Bunch of doughnuts.
15:26They're probably a bunch of something.
15:28OK, and now we're going to hear from Gary.
15:31Oh, yeah.
15:31You listen to TV presenting?
15:33Is that because the acting work was actually drying up?
15:36Gosh, Gary, you're completely right.
15:39Oh, yeah.
15:40Aren't you an insightful person, Gary?
15:43Um...
15:44It was just after my kid's dad had passed away,
15:48and I couldn't really leave for long stretches of time.
15:52I didn't take a big acting job for quite a while after that.
15:55And actually presenting, like, I could just bobble in.
15:59Yeah.
15:59Do a bit of presenting for the day,
16:01or just do a panel show in the evening.
16:04Get paid.
16:06So, yes, to answer your question,
16:08I did enjoy it, but it was, yeah, to fill a little...
16:12It was, you know, some employment.
16:15Our next question is from Joseph.
16:19Hello.
16:20Hello, Anna. Nice to meet you.
16:22Hi, Joseph.
16:22Hi. Nice to meet you, Joseph.
16:24So, the way you describe your sensory problems,
16:28it gives neurodivergent vibes.
16:31Have you ever...
16:31You're not the first person to say that.
16:35Have you ever, like, considered that you might have something?
16:40Yes, I have.
16:43There is ASD in my family.
16:48If I was neurodivergent, it's not affecting my life overly.
16:54Like, I think I can be quite a good mum.
16:58There's nothing that affects my job.
17:00Mm-hm.
17:01So, I wouldn't necessarily feel like I had to go and get a test
17:06and get a label.
17:08That was a bit vague, but...
17:09No, I completely feel what you're saying.
17:11I feel like the only time labels really are beneficial
17:13is when whatever you may have is seriously impacting your daily routine
17:18in your life. That's right, yeah.
17:19But in a sense of, like, you know, putting people in a box,
17:23which is a lot of us get put in, is what the main issue is.
17:27So, the right avenues...
17:27I'd love a label if it gets support,
17:29rather than systems that are set up almost for us to fail.
17:34So true.
17:35Exactly, yes.
17:36Yeah, yes.
17:37But my kids do talk about that a lot.
17:39Good.
17:40Yes.
17:40All right, speaking of families,
17:45I want to start a family.
17:47But I am worried about passing my traumatic experiences
17:51down to my children.
17:53How do you break the cycle?
17:57We do pass down, sort of, trauma, don't we?
18:01And my mum's history was really, really interesting.
18:03She'd come from real poverty.
18:07Mm-hm.
18:08And actually, I think it had made the women in her family
18:12and down our line like badass bitches.
18:14Like, just off the chain, strong.
18:19But I...
18:21Yeah, I did have, like, thoughts I had to kind of control.
18:26After my children's father died, I thought...
18:30This is a real overshare.
18:31But I thought,
18:33is there something around what's circulating around me
18:35and that my dad died?
18:37That I've created an environment where that happened again.
18:41Now, obviously, that's not the case.
18:43It doesn't mean that.
18:44That isn't what's happened at all.
18:46But I suppose there's an insight into how our thoughts
18:50can be quite intrusive, can't they?
18:52Yeah.
18:53But I would say, when there is, like, trauma,
18:56that's your point to go,
18:57I'm not passing this on.
18:59I'm gonna change the course of...
19:01Because you seem like a lovely person
19:03and I'm sure you would meet your children
19:05with unconditional love and support
19:08and that's all children need.
19:10Mm-hm.
19:10And that is what you would do.
19:12So, you know, you're not going to pass on.
19:16Yeah.
19:19I feel like I'm about to start oversharing,
19:21but I think I'll move on to the next person.
19:26But, yeah, honestly, really lovely to talk to you.
19:29Oh, lovely to talk to you.
19:34Lovely. Thank you.
19:35Thank you so much. Thank you for those questions.
19:37Were you to be in line of duty?
19:40I was in line of duty for a little bit.
19:43Did you smash it?
19:44I absolutely smashed it.
19:46Well done.
19:47Off to you, Ben.
19:49All right.
19:51What...
19:52is fart tennis?
19:55Oh, fart tennis.
19:57That sounds interesting.
19:58Yeah.
19:59OK, so fart tennis is pretty basic.
20:02Anyone can learn this game really, really quickly.
20:04So you lie in bed with your partner or someone.
20:08I'd be willing to play with my children.
20:10That would be fine.
20:11You feel a fart coming on,
20:13but you have to sort of have bums touching,
20:15but clothed.
20:17Clothed bums.
20:17So with.
20:18And then you do the fart.
20:20Oh, God.
20:21But the other person has to reciprocate pretty quickly.
20:23You've got to remember, it's like a game of tennis.
20:25You can't linger too long.
20:27You've got to do the fart,
20:28then the other person needs to respond pretty quickly.
20:31OK.
20:32OK.
20:33That sounds interesting, then weird.
20:35Yes.
20:35Oh, so weird.
20:37That's what it is.
20:39And now, Elijah.
20:45Hello.
20:46Hi.
20:46Is it Elijah?
20:48Yeah.
20:49Yeah, hi.
20:52Last question is, when were you happiest?
20:58Oh, that's such a good question.
21:02Do you know, I am really naturally an optimist.
21:06I feel it's one of my greatest genetic luck outs.
21:11Yeah.
21:13So when you say to me, when were you happiest?
21:16I don't go to a period in time.
21:18I think, oh, well, it'll be today with my kids having dinner.
21:23Or I'll get home.
21:24I'm going to go and see them now.
21:25We're going to the orthodontist.
21:26And we'll probably have a laugh there.
21:28And I'll think, oh, God, I feel so lucky.
21:32I feel happy.
21:35I feel like...
21:38I'm going to always try to find a little bit of happiness every day.
21:42That's probably the sweetest answer you could have given.
21:45That was really nice.
21:48Yeah.
21:49Thank you, love.
21:56Well, that was the assembly.
22:06What do you all do now?
22:07Do you have a little lunch and things?
22:08Yeah, yeah, yeah.
22:11Thank you for looking after me.
22:15It's been great to meet you for the first time in my life.
22:18Thank you for speaking so beautifully.
22:26I'm hopefully moving to my new place.
22:28Where are you moving to?
22:29Not far from her, actually.
22:31It's going to be quite scary.
22:32OK.
22:32Is that frightening?
22:33I get that.
22:34It's not me.
22:34It's mum.
22:35Oh, is it?
22:36Is she fussing?
22:37Yes, she is.
22:38Yeah.
22:39Well, that's what we're here for.
22:41For the fuss.
22:42Yes.
22:43Yes.
22:44Mr.
22:47Not me.
22:47No, no.
22:47Oh, yes.
22:47Right.
22:47No.
22:53Yes.
23:10Oh, yeah.
23:11You
