Jessica Stevenson on Room 101 part 1

Jessica Hynes (nee Stevenson) on Room 101 with Paul Merton discussing her pet hates.

[@HollynHeron]

I can't stop watching Spaced. I just keep watching it over and over and over....

[@WTP2k]

Marzipan seems to be very popular over here in Budapest. Which suits me fine as I quite like it. Had some wonderful marzipan liquor the other day that was absolutely lovely

[@krognak]

aw she's too adorable :D i just wanna hug her!

[@TenderHistoryInRust]

I love Jessica Stevenson

[@TheSneakyfiend]

@Dogshop Hackney.....they only got to make one pilot episode-it's our Jess and Julia Davis, It's called "Lizzie and Sara"...it's v.v.dark, and utter utter genius! :)

[@andrewdyke5561]

I love her so much from america

[@VDJVivacity]

The origin of Novympia’s marzipan clip.

[@Andraste77]

She was brilliant in Spaced.

[@RFC3514]

I have a feeling she's been eating gum paste (a.k.a. sugar paste or american paste), which is basically "flavoured" (though generally still pretty flavourless) fondant icing (made with sugar, water, egg whites, and sometimes gelatin), and thinking that's what marzipan is. Real marzipan is just powdered almond and sugar (or honey), tastes nothing like vanilla, and the consistency is not sticky or pasty at all (it's actually quite crumbly). The fact that she mentions using it for cake decoration reinforces this; nearly all "complicated" cake decorations (ex., flowers, figurines, bows, etc.) in the US and UK are made with gum paste. Marzipan is quite hard to work with at ambient temperature, and breaks easily if you try to make thin curved surfaces (which is why it's typically used to make "chunky" things like fruits, pigs, etc.).

[@itsonlysound]

@TheConciseStatement Yeah I find that strange as well. I met her last year and she's lovely. Just a nice, normal person, who happens to be partly responsible for my favourite show of all time.

[@waylander1978]

That bloke with the tache sounds like your typical Daily Mail editorial.

[@copstolemywife]

Marzipan is the food of the gods. The woman is MAD!!!

[@bareakon]

@Moley87 i was thinking Roger Lloyd Pack

[@xraycortina]

That really is a most excellent moustache @ 04:00 -->

[@existenceisrelative]

Marzipan is a broom. I'm pretty sure. We come down off our high horse.

[@Moley87]

It's Martin Clunes with a huge moustache!

[@studas2011]

can't beat a bit of Battenburg

[@TheConciseStatement]

@Cokecakepopcorn Yeah, I don't understand that reaction at all. She seems like the least bitchy person ever. Friendly, warm and down to earth is what I always think when she's on.

[@bryrw06]

I guess that depends on whether you like the guest or not!

[@PurushaDesa]

Can't be doing with marzipan. In it goes. (You can put onions in and all - disgusting things.)

[@Chalky.]

I'm watching Duck quacks don't echo now and she looks even hotter now than back then.

[@glebber8709]

She's just one of those lovely people that everyone loves.

[@alizarin89]

Shit ... Free love and marzipan are my idea of a good weekend.

[@maryshawroberts5045]

I wish we had some entertaining show like this on our television. I've stop watching ours.

[@fritspas]

Have you considered consolidating all your bad taste into one striking moustache?

[@thevoicesstalk]

actually she's really nice and a bit hyperactive

[@deaddogshopgigs9158]

Does anyone know the name of the sitcom she wrote about those two old women? She mentioned it when Jonathan Ross interviewed her but I can't find the footage anywhere to know what name to look up.

[@alasdairw]

Lizzie and Sarah

[@DanHarrisonKing]

its 00:50 am and i really want some fcking marzipan!

[@taffwob]

Marzipan always reminds me of sweetened play doh. i don't know anyone who actually likes it.

[@MegaCoxRox]

We wouldn't have nearly as much with proper sex education, or if the US government hadn't ignored the AIDS epidemic for so long. In both cases, the blame rests very firmly on the backs of religious groups.

[@Mayna00]

@saxonwall Have I Got News For You, Just a Minute, Room 101, Whose Line Is It Anyway? .. Yeah, what a talentless drip Merton is.

[@ninjabob2456]

@Substantive64 Well I hope you get better soon. o wait...

[@Idol2Idol]

@saxonwall he's from a working class backround. You know very little of Merton, please go away and troll somewhere else.

[@royfr8136]

For me this is the worst, most boring, unethused guest that was ever on this show.

[@tremblingcolors]

hahaha wtf is a guy from the edwardian period doing talking about the immorality of hippies?
