“F*****’ BOOM!” Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley on pigeon impressions and Wicked Little Letters

Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley join BBC Radio 1's film critic Ali Plumb to talk about their new movie Wicked Little Letters, a comedy-mystery mostly (but not entirely) based on a similar real-life story of poison pen letters that were sent in Littlehampton in the 1920s, letters so obscene and horrifying they scandalised the nation and ended up being discussed in parliament. Here though, Olivia, Jessie and Ali end up almost entirely losing the plot almost straight away, ending up doing pigeon impressions, talking about mooning on camera and generally being effortlessly anarchic. Perhaps needless to say - but still definitely worth saying anyway - THIS INTERVIEW CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND ADULT CONTENT, so please watch with caution. It really is... it really is something else.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

If it’s Olivia Colman, there’s unstoppable laughter and absolute chaos.

[@15Candles]

Jessie is just as chaotic as her, they both have the exact same sense of humor which make this interview more fun and exciting

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Ali Plumb: Quite possibly, one of the best, if not the best interviewer in all of entertainment. Jessie Buckley, Olivia Colman & Phoebe Waller-Bridge: The ultimate dream trio for a (black) comedy!

[@fionacavalier]

ALI AND GRAHAM NORTON

[@jthomas420]

I always feel he is a bit pompous, but he's alright!

[@scott2836]

Ali is the best. Graham Norton is very good, but Ali seems to be able to relate to everyone he interviews.

[@jaimimurray188]

Somebody write this, email someone, get it done!

[@marianm2680]

Yes, Sean Evans from hot ones also great interviewer

[@70sjunkie]

this is by far the BEST interview ever. these three are just an absolute delight!!! Ali always coming with the best, most thoughtful questions.

[@golyno]

This went off the rails even before it started 🤣🤣

[@SunshineArsenal]

7:17 this is why I love Olivia just her randomness and how Ali just burst into laughter😅😂

[@nessnness]

When even the guests don't want it to end because Ali's such a delight.

[@ACMarketingCaribbean]

I felt like I got invited to my friend's flat for a mimosa and a laugh! I didn't stop smiling and like Olivia & Jessie, I didn't want the interview to end. Awesome job Plumb!

[@toms-iv5mx]

Ali Plumb is so overdue for his own chat show, what a talented interviewer and all round lovely guy

[@chrisalbertyn4004]

This deserves to be top comment! C'mon Tubers - make it happen!

[@jaredvlogs8891]

olivia colman is a gift that keeps on giving.

[@moonsr23]

they're tipsy lol.. Olivia Colman is a f...g legend 😂

[@Caram0n]

One of the best interviews I've ever seen. Funny without anyone trying to flirt awkwardly or be overly funny. Just naturally funny & relaxed like people at parties think they are.

[@karenehlers2534]

I saw this film last night at a SneakPeek and it's absolutely delightful! Jessie and Olivia are perfection and the whole cast is tremendous. I highly recommend it!

[@StevenCampbell1955]

That was an excellent interview. All parties involved, each contributing, embroidering and adding to the conversation. It went to unimagined , unplanned topics filled with interesting anecdotes yet the interviewer was able to keep the conversation returning to topic. It had to be a BBC production; First class.

[@emgee44]

Olivia Coleman doing a Pigeon impression. Didn’t know I needed that😅 And Jessie Buckley, having watched her in season 4 of Fargo, I knew she would be one to keep an eye on, nailed that accent, no idea she was Irish…figures! And that smile.

[@15Candles]

Wasn't a fan of the fourth season but she was by far the best part of it

[@15Candles]

Jessie is absolutely remarkable. Fargo season 4 wasn't the best but lord she was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend "Wild Rose" if you wanna see Jessie's singing skills

[@bkitch2011]

A beautiful and respectful interview with lots of laughter. This is why Ali is one of the best out there. I love how the people he interviews feel comfortable enough to let down their walls and have fun. It's also beautiful to see when they are just as excited to see him as he is to see them.

[@Dparish24]

It speaks volumes when the actors don’t want the interviewer to leave.

[@Rab_Daddy]

Wish that was an hour long 😂😂😂😂

[@Icarus9]

Olivia Colman saying 'good boy' is a mood.

[@Michael-xi9nb]

Imagine doing a press tour with them. You'd never get bored.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

1:22 Agree with Olivia: Paul Mescal is a very easy target for laughing.

[@liarspeaksthetruth]

One day I hope to see Olivia Coleman and Myriam Margoyles interviewed together.

[@JP-lu9ed]

I laughed just thinking about that.

[@MikeRiderOOO]

Olivia Colman: The younger, cheeky Dame Judi Dench.

[@briane5706]

Natural heir to Dame Judy as a National Treasure.

[@catzenhouse]

Why can't all interviews be like this? This is a breath of fresh (and cheeky) air.

[@lynnekaluzniak1894]

I could listen to these lovely Irish/English people all day

[@xoxoCo2001]

this is the loveliest, funniest interview I've ever watched!

[@CWazBroadwayBandGeek]

Jessie has come so far since her days on “I’d Do Anything”. So proud of her. 😁🥰

[@JuiceMyRandomness]

This wasn’t an interview! It was some pals having the best time ever ❤

[@jonseals]

How wonderful for actors doing a press junket to have Ali Plumb enter the room.

[@sirapashrestha3737]

This is gold!!! Thank you for this!!!

[@jennyshpeter5846]

Without a doubt, the greatest, most belly-achingly hilarious interview, Ali Plumb you are a genius 👏👏

[@davidobrien3563]

Just a wonderful interview. Candid and fresh.

[@bekytg9393]

Ali Plumb is such a treasure and perfect interviewer. He knows how to make the guests relaxed.

[@alenemarie1726]

And this is how I figure out the Brit’s say “nut” and Americans say “headbutt”

[@EricaGamet]

Yeah, nutting is definitely something different! 🤣

[@JP-lu9ed]

As an American I wondered what they were saying. I figured it was “knot” as one gets a knot in one’s head if hit.

[@sarasate89]

I laughed so much during this that my partner had to WhatsApp me from his office upstairs to ask if I was okay 😂

[@bobbyladd]

De Niro has probably called his agent to get Jessie and a cake into his next film.😂

[@natalielang6209]

Olivia Coleman is a national treasure. Is there anyone that doesn't love her?

[@CrayolaVerde]

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. There was such great rapport between all of them.

[@denalinorsen6180]

being called a "good boy" by Olivia Colman has to one of the best experiences of your life

[@Ayanamy-vl2pl]

It is the best interview on BBC radio one so far !

[@benzaiten933]

it's probably one of the only times that they don't want an interview to end!

[@shivjam]

This is quite possibly the greatest interview I’ve ever seen. My god

[@p46967]

Jessie Buckley was brilliant in Fargo 4 she was by far the best part of it,where did she come up with that walk,fantastic.

[@Isadora0198]

Amazing interview as always, Ali! So funny! Can't wait to watch this movie

[@kpire6066]

Very fun interview. I'm definitely going to see this film! 😂❤

[@wanderingyoutube]

Ali's the best. He could take over Graham Norton's show one day

[@Nathm12]

Absolute carnage and I loved every second of it.

[@lucindafrederick1161]

This is possibly the most fun interview EVER!

[@seaconfused]

Oh my god Olivia is a riot! I love this woman! I was crying of laughs in the entirety of this interview. Ali is the best interviewer ever!

[@senguptasayn]

😂had such a great time.get Ali as a guest on Graham Norton.

[@ceciliamcmillen490]

Brilliant interview!!!

[@xuanxuan3497]

I laughed so much at the pigeon impression!! Really spot on😂😂😊

[@carolcaldwell]

Great interview!

[@DomiNiqueBerlin]

I really like all the Ali Plumb talks I came across so far. Always fun to watch. But of course especially with those two fabulous ladies. 🤗

[@DanchOnPcGames]

Is this your first interview Ali where swearing was involved? Hilarious interview and cant wait to see the film

[@harrisonwilliams4962]

This is the most unhinged interview and I love it

[@happydaze7976]

Watch Olivia and Helena Bonham Carter's interview, equally chaotic ❤😂😂

[@tattooedandy93]

I’m just honestly laughed so much my ribs are sore. Olivia and Jessie are pure comedy duo. Ali good job interviewing.

[@triplet3023]

I saw the film yesterday. It was great. I cannot believe that someone came up with this. The phrases they keep saying is something that many people wish they could say and in that same way. Funny! Sad! Silly! I am laughing out loud at this interview. Thank you :) 😊

[@kathleenjones3492]

Loved this film,looking forward to the dvd

[@abelisraelcruzayuso4682]

Fantastic video. Laughed a lot!

[@joelanthonylim6792]

So happy after The Lost Daughter they're finally on screen together again!

[@notoriousfierce]

Ali Plumb is the best! This is the best interview! Olivia and Jessie, I need to hang out with them!

[@MrsPatriciaSancho]

Best interview ever!

[@rowesofroses]

watching this while stoned feels like a huge hug. i love these ladies

[@Vini27Brasil]

I want to log this interview on Letterbox

[@davidburne9477]

First time I noticed Olivia was ‘Tyrannosaur’ with Peter Mullan and Eddie Marsan where she outshone them both. Powerhouse performance. Keeps on reinforcing my assessment. This is hilarious.

[@southsidejohnny5624]

You’re right. Two powerful actors in a powerful film and she wipes the studio floor with both of them.

[@marianm2680]

Just came from the cinema ... IT WAS SOOOOO GOOOOD ... it was so funny but dark and then funny again and complex and just great

[@ken9576]

This interview is fantastic! The interviewer is a total legend, as are Olivia and Jessie.

[@sarahthompson7946]

Brilliant thank you

[@guineapiggirl199]

Ali's interviews are so good!!

[@fastfreddiek2]

Olivia Colman is just so awesome.

[@user-dg6kb5zm9q]

Brilliant interview, brilliant film!

[@inMuro]

pigeon appreciation comment, that was just 10/10

[@SC-qc7og]

Literally the funniest interview I've ever seen 😂

[@DavidWillis]

Utterly brilliant - they are absolutely fabulous 🤭🤪😧😳😂

[@user-jl8yn7og7b]

This might just be my new favourite video on the internet.

[@JP-lu9ed]

I think he’s an heir to Graham Norton.

[@andreagibson6022]

I love this interview.

[@mileslaw]

You know it's a great interview when the warning shows up.

[@daved2352]

Not loving Olivia Colman is going to be one of my new red flags. I ignored an ex hating Tom Hanks to my detriment and I'm not making that mistake again

[@anastasiabeaverhausen8220]

Most fun BBC interview I've ever seen.

[@Denis-89]

First time Ali truly loses it and just lets Olivia Colman take over the interview!

[@dashdastardly]

Jessie doing that to De Niro would be as legendary as Amy Adams' "Don't you ever fart on my tits again".

[@Isadora0198]

Good boy 😂

[@dihboas]

people don't talk enough about that scene in Barbie, I LAUGHED SO HARD when she said that

[@oakleyducati1]

This is going to be go-to video when I am feeling a bit low.

[@HollyJaneYT]

super interview

[@jameshutton1094]

Easily your best interview.

[@stanwellback]

One word… hilarious! 😂

[@kiralcurtis]

Ok but this is the best interview

[@emmabuckley-wales]

All Plumb is just the best

[@paigeturner165]

I’d love to see Jessie and Denise V Outen in an interview together…. I expect Denise would say ‘Oh fudge!’ 😅

[@annelawton6783]

Great combination those two 2️⃣ n this movie

[@madijayne2]

I always enjoy Ali’s interviews, especially when he’s with Olivia. He has such a great rapport with her.

[@kittycattt93]

Olivia and Jessie are such a vibe 😂

[@philstrachan]

She would be sooo much fun to work with!😂❤

[@theresagrano9711]

Great film, I absolutely loved it. Also love these two actresses ❤

[@user-kk5jt2po5o]

Best interviewer ever🎉

[@jsayol]

What a crazy moth[MATTEL]cking interview. Loved it!

[@kimantiracist9222]

✨️✨️Olivia Coleman✨️✨️ is a UK National Treasure!

[@iamanomas]

Loved the movie and the cast.

[@Nazaba09]

No one wants to mention Jessie Buckley was young Olivia Colman in ‘the lost daughter’?
