Sarah Millican - Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast

[@RIXRADvidz]

looks like I've been profiled, I'm a Sarah Millican Fan. I eat the right foods, watch the right amount of telly/video, I don't work in translation/languages but I do know a few words in 7 languages to say ''hello'' and ''thank you'' to be polite. and the 'Sarah MIllican Television Programme' was one of the best viewing experiences I've ever had, yeah, I"m a Big Fan, a 6 foot 3 inch tall 24 stone Fan. thank you Mr. Herring for being nice to your guest.

[@j9547]

Sarah Millican is a top five all time guest. I think you could bring her on every series and it wouldn't get boring.

[@EleanorPeterson]

Yep. She could almost have been genetically engineered to suit this format. To be fair, Richard's own charisma makes the series compelling viewing even with 'timid' guests, but Sarah's totally in her element. I can't prove anything, but I reckon she's the kind of super-ambitious person who'd actually feel a bit miffed that she wasn't running the show. Did you notice how she gave the info about her daytime TV interview? She was given 8 minutes to chat and plug her latest DVD. Not "Oh, about 10 minutes", but 8 minutes PRECISELY. That's a woman with a stopwatch who's focused on her career.🤭 So she must love being given the chance to rabbit on for an hour or so about anything she likes, with free unlimited exposure on KZbin... She's already hugely successful, but I've often wondered if 'driven' people are able to relax and just coast along to enjoy the ride for a while, rather than to be constantly striving for the next step up and grasping at new ideas (such as her own online chat+guest thingy). Richard certainly knows some interesting people. Do you think that any of his interviews with other guests have ever been so awkward that he's decided not to air them?🤔

[@The_Farwall]

I couldn't pick between Millican or David Mitchell but I've been on a big Millican rewatch the past year or two.

1:00:35 - The shelf-life of tinned food is amazing. Manufacturers are obliged to give it a 'best before' date for legal reasons and to save their reputations if the baked beans or whatever aren't still perfectly intact, but it's significant that the date is 'best before' and not the much more serious 'use by'. Basically, the vacuum-canning process is so effective that food remains safe to eat for many DECADES after it's been produced. The only real problems are maintaining the food's condition (spuds or carrots that have been shaken a lot will gradually break down into mush, for instance); and identifying a tin's contents after the paper label's gone soggy and perished or been nibbled away by mice.

Love the Millican / Herring face offs

34:33 watching in July 2023 and wondering if Philip Schofield would still be the answer🤔

[@Herring1967]

I'll ask her tomorrow

[@cats-uk]

Breeders - or greeders - produce animals with higher levels of inherited diseases dude to inbreeding. 😭 I wish that people would stop buying expensive kittens and puppies because they encourage it. Props to Rich for rescuing them. I'm chilling out now with an extremely intelligent black and white moggy. He's adorable and gentle.

[@NEONHALO-fk8ir]

I would love to see Chris Morris on one of these.

[@neilloughran4437]

Maybe have both of them...

[@spiderboris79]

There's quite a few Chris Morris's, a BBC correspondent / reporter guy also I think... maybe Rich could book one of the other Chris Morris's cos THAT Chris Morris is surely never going to a big interview with anyone. Oh wait I forgot he does sort of interview Stewart Lee on Comedy Vehicle. I'm saying nothing.

[@neilloughran4437]

Should have a special Chris Morris edition then.

[@BoffoCaveman]

I love Sarah Millican so much

[@Spiderland1]

This is a big flirtfest haha

[@Superfantastictop10]

One of the best shows around. Should be surprising that TV has never thought of this format. Hopefully they won't so Rich can keep on with the show. Will start paying for episodes when my failing KZbin venture finally lifts me out of poverty. (See how I subtly plugged my channel while appealing to your sympathies and pretending not to do so?)

[@DodderingOldMan]

Judging by the fact that you haven't uploaded a video in five years, I'm guessing the subtle plug didn't work out super well :P And in all seriousness, I'm not mocking, I have a KZbin channel of my own that isn't exactly setting the world on fire...

[@Superfantastictop10]

@@DodderingOldMan No. It didn't. Why did you need to point this out?

[@DodderingOldMan]

@@Superfantastictop10 Well, I was trying to show a little sympathy and solidarity as a fellow tiny KZbinr. And given the tone of your first post I thought you might have a bit of a sense of humour about it, especially five years later. If I was wrong, I apologise.

[@Superfantastictop10]

@@DodderingOldMan No, sorry, my fault. Misunderstanding

[@DodderingOldMan]

another wicked one :)

[@DMGupdesign1980]

I am a fan of your work and I like Gyros Yougov is 100% right

[@TheStevenWhiting]

Watching fist of fun dvds with you and stu's commentry. You now need to get Katy Brand on as she appeared in the audience. She was clearly laughing so must like you :)

[@twatwatwat]

Is Sarah Millican now the guest that's been on RHLSTP/RHEFP the most times? I can't be bothered to look it up.

[@CAMZAB]

Andrew Collins is.

[@timothysuch3471]

Interesting...here in the usa we had S&H Green Stamps.

[@TheSwamper]

This is most fecal-focused episode yet. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, but it'll be hard to top in that category.

[@alysononoahu8702]

Thanks for the warning..bye

1:07:55 - Why fly a kite? Oh, Sarah! Because it's an enormously rewarding challenge for those with the wit to appreciate it, and it's a fascinating way to explore the principles of aerodynamics at any age! And you should never, ever run with a kite. No need. If there's enough wind, it'll fly straight out of your hand. If there's almost enough wind at ground level, just pull on the line until you find more wind higher up. If there's no wind at all, don't run; pack up and go to the pub. I'm not interested in stunt kites (which have 2 or more control lines and can perform aerobatics; they're for people who get bored easily); I like single-line kites which are designed to stay where you put them and look as though they've been pinned to the sky. I first flew a kite when I was 7 or 8. My dad had got me interested in flight by letting me use his binoculars to watch birds soaring, then I got a cheapo pocket-money kite (with a hawk design printed on it) for my birthday. I loved it. Adjusting stuff, adding tails to experiment with stability, changing the line to see what effect its drag had on performance, feeling the wind, learning to read the weather, watching how birds were affected by it, sensing the wind's speed and direction changes at different heights, riding thermals, encountering patches of sinking air, trying to fly in marginal conditions... It was a completely new world to me and unbelievably exciting. I couldn't understand why my mates were wasting time indoors talking or watching telly or colouring-in pictures of stupid ponies. Then I got into building my own kites from different materials, learnt to use a sewing machine, always looking for better, more stable flight. I started fitting old-school film cameras to kites and taking aerial photographs; (this was long before digital photography and today's tiny 'action cameras'). I became increasingly interested in aerodynamics, then got into aeromodelling, finally started building and flying free-flight and then radio-controlled planes. The guys at the local club were really kind, positive and helpful and sort of adopted me as a mascot - I was the only girl there. Later on, the family moved to Kenya when my dad got a job with the Flying Doctor Service. I still loved everything to do with kites, models, planes and flying, and eventually got my PPL (private pilot's licence) in a Cessna 172. It's the kite wot dunnit. Years later, back in England, I couldn't afford to fly enough hours to keep my pilot's licence valid, and it's now lapsed. I still fly RC planes, though. And during lockdown I got back into making kites. They're mostly parafoils - all-fabric 'soft' kites without rigid frames, which rely on the wind to hold their shape - my largest so far is around 14' long and 10' wide. It flies in the lightest of winds; it's beautifully stable; when it floats up into the sky on a mild summer's day, sharing the air with the resident lark (singing his heart out), and with the local buzzard soaring in lazy circles overhead and watching warily, my heart soars with them. There's no better way to lift your spirits. That's why people fly kites, Sarah, you grumpy indoor cow [I'm joking!]; it's bloody good fun! 😁

"Nazi Salute" doesnt sound so bad when Sarah says it,

That's a Frank Carson joke, I think. Originally, I mean.

Julian Barratt, Please Rich, if he'll do it.

I once stayed in a Travelodge that had jizz encrusted into the carpet. It was mine. FROM SIX MONTHS BEFORE.

[@CAMZAB]

I stayed in that room. Can you eat more pineapple please?

[@abegarfield7031]

I had to share a room at a Travelodge with Lenny Henry. He snores and his feet stink.

5:03 Sarah starts ....

[@mawmallmore]

thanks

[@TheBassHeavy]

Hi Richard Herring, I'm a really really good researcher, I have distinctions on all my work and now just finishing a PhD. I propose my new research has the title: Richard Herring's Fans Only Watch One Hour of T.V. Per Week: Reasons Why YouGov's Statistical System is Wrong. What do you think? I need 20k to do it. Cheers, Ben. Btw, I'm a monthly badger and really need work after my PhD.

[@jennifers4423]

She's never flown a kite!!!?? She's not lived!! 😂😂

[@Chris-Longhair]

All this talk of massive bollocks was incredible foreshadowing for the one-ball-man act to come

[@EleanorPeterson]

Yep. Ironically, one of Dick's balls got a bit too cocky and went off to have a career of its own. Classic case of an act splitting up due to 'artistic differences'.😁

[@kisbie]

Sarah gives as good as she gets, but you can tell this was a pre-#MeToo episode. 😅 Mind you, when she came back on recently, Rich made sure to remind everyone what she said about Schofield here: "There's nothing he could do that would upset me." 😬

[@gazriley624]

Get Stewart Lee on again it's always Funny

[@Daijyobanai]

supa "sheeno", it's Skandi for cinema, pronounced sheeno!

[@Gandhie]

As a "Skandi", I have to correct you ever so slightly. It is "kino" (pronunciation is something like what you said) in Norwegian and Danish (one of the DK words for it) but in Swedish it is "bio", derived from the word "biograf", and Swedes would not typically understand what you meant by "kino" barring some knowledge of the other two. While there is debate about whether Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are separate languages or a group of dialects (where they could be referred to as "Scandinavian"), I think you'd find that most speakers of any of the three do not think of the other two as their native language. There are significant vocabulary differences, differences in the written language and the alphabet (with regards to the last 3 letters) as well as individual dictionaries, country borders etc. that keep them apart. Just thought it was worth shedding some more light on the issue, to avoid misconceptions.

You appear to have a black cat so I think you're just biased

[@RIXRADvidz]

sadly, white cats with blue eyes are most likely to be deaf.

[@jimmyjarrett939]

+Oliver Thomas haha, I'm not wishing deafness upon them, I'd just heard it somewhere.

[@cats-uk]

Not most - some. I think they have blue eyes

Sorry what did you say? Oh that's right I'm reading what you wrote. Quite impressive that I've done this though.

[@akaNOCTURN]

These are not really interviews though are they

[@doublelightangel]

Again?

[@bulletproofblouse]

I like it when Trump comes up (not like that) on RHLSTP because it's two months old newsand you can hear what happened and think "Aaaw. It was a simpler time".

[@bulletproofblouse]

I'm such a grown up that I literally never use describe myself with phrase "grown up". Except for just then, obviously.
