Great interview. There are people in our lives that keep us grounded. The members of Marillion have for sure found those individuals. These fine ladies are awesome. Fantastic !! ❤ 👍

[@seanlittle7035]

This was a lovely little change from seeing the boys doing their thing. Well done!

[@JimNewstead]

This is extraordinarily brilliant! Well done and great job to everyone involved. Interviewer aside, to get such a human, authentic and candid conversation with the better halves of the band was genius. Such a great film, the ladies truly were the stars of this. 52 minutes of my Sunday evening well spent!

[@anorakfreak]

Lovely ladies! Had the pleasure of meeting Jo, Lucy & Fiona over the years, fabulous people!

[@robertfarrell6168]

Love it - so authentic!

[@philipogden7162]

What a delightful group and interview

[@HappyCookies-yo5od]

What a fabulas set of ladies !

[@KevStevens-Music-Drums-Art]

That was SUPERB! The best episode of 'Loose Women' I have ever seen (if you're reading this outside the UK that's a day-time ITV programme where a panel of ladies discuss all kinds of stuff). All my generation - I'm a 1958 Libran child, and because my own bandmates and I have wonderful better halves too that we all care about and love being with whenever we get the chance, I relate to everything they've spoken about. What a treat to meet you all. You're all lovely.

[@wynterwarde6302]

What a lovely interview

[@GlennaRedcliffe]

Love this! I hope there is another interview with the ladies in the future.

[@Neilmoth1]

This is very unique. Great interview.

[@julianquirk9946]

That was just fantastic ! You learn so much about the “band guys” from what clearly are the better halves. You can see the warmth and shared experiences they have and how that warmth supports the boys in what they do. Just brilliant 🙏

[@sanuwoman]

Great job, Ant, a lovely interview with the ‘better halves’ - who soon relaxed and were happy to contribute some great insights. 🎉

[@davebracken7706]

That was awesome to watch. Big thank you to those who made it happen.

[@mdx7371]

What a great chat. Lovely to hear from these wonderful women. The chaps need to up their game next month! ⭐

[@marcsabat5482]

Girls!!! Ocean Cloud is one of the most beautiful song Marillion ever wright ❤

[@daviHuggMonster]

so lovely to see the better halves of these faboulous amazing musicians. They have become part of so many of our lives. I mean....damn I am a Fan since 1983...I was 12...now me is 53...

[@AffectionateCello-dg4ng]

Was there at that same gig as Jo in 1982. Not surprised at all Marillion have had such an amazing career. Remember the tingles hearing Steve's guitar as they were soundchecking and thinking this is something really special!

[@suds1853]

Outstanding episode ... probably the best one yet!

[@grantwallace1882]

More love Marillion folk. It is such a gift to have the band, et al, in our lives.

[@sjoerdmajoor8590]

Lovely to see

[@guzzoofoz]

Lovely to meet you all. Thanks and blessings from Australia 🇦🇺🙏

[@angryaardvark]

That was great! It’s always lovely to see Lucy, and the rest of the Marillion Better Halves are equally delightful! I hope to be able to meet you all someday!

[@pennylarkinisthebest]

Lovely to meet you all. Very enjoyable interview.

[@gertjankiers5147]

Mark is an brilliant keybordplayer.

[@monicaambriz2029]

[@BeaujolaisDay]

Intelligent, kind and humorous ladies who radiate beauty both inside and out - the Marillion family is truly a Neverland

[@user-sn5gk3io2t]

Great watch really enjoyed it👍

[@iantrott9152]

This is wonderful, thank you :)

[@snorpaul]

Enjoyed meeting the other halves, charming ladies with the same charisma as the whole band, one big familly feeling!

[@rickyfox1862]

[@nickwalters7827]

Thanks for this. It was really great to listen to.

[@nigelblake1558]

Brilliant interview, I really enjoyed watching it ❤️👍

[@karenchambers9943]

Lucky boys having you lovely ladies, great interview Ant.

[@marillo68]

Sweet ladies

[@user-pf8my7bo9v]

Throughly enjoyed this ladies genuine funny heartwarming and most of so natural and normal the boys should be rightly proud of you all

[@1963strait]

Great episode, nice to see the bands better halves and how their lives work with the band.

[@simonnash2995]

That was really lovely. As if their other halves were going to be anything other than genuinely nice people. (Ant afraid to ask what a purple job is ! 😂)

[@jaymurray6051]

My fave interview eve. This was the one I wanted and I even got my questions answered “was there a song written about you” I even heard a mention of my fave song “This strange engine”

[@robertmeister7908]

Very interesting different interview. I really enjoyed it. They all seem like great human beings as well just like their counterparts.

[@robdobson6061]

A very fun interview

[@stevebanks723]

One of the best 'monthlies' to date.

[@sheiladocherty8537]

That was so interesting and I really like all these ladies now too. I was hoping someone would suggest Jo does a song with the band sometime 😃

[@somewhereelse3813]

MFFM ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thankyou ladies

[@dewievans7238]

Great interview - and reassuring to hear that even people close to the band don't get Ocean Cloud either! 😅

[@siloagrain2176]

From France ,i can actually certify that you re married to heroes .. and after 30 years listening to their music ,i can certify too : it s not music , it s something religious. ❤❤

[@kevcatnip7589]

awwwww ,,Good luck PETER nice to see you are okay

[@kevcatnip7589]

PS Cant figure why they wanted to work in mental health??

[@agr7879]

Great to finally see Ant Short having listened to every episode of the Corona Diaries for the past 3 years!

[@marckerridge1629]

What a wonderful interview. Clearly all the boys are punching well above their weight😂. Seriously though, a really interesting insight into the better halves and their support/ influence on the greatest band.

[@silvaanosvs8783]

A human being, on this planet, not enjoying "Ocean Cloud"... I must work through that. Gonna take time.

[@mollybloom5681]

Lucy for First Lady !

[@Docksidestudio1]

Fascinating insight…….. h hoovering the stairs… hmmmmmmm lol

[@zouzoudrumcore]

Best Marillion Monthly so far 52:05 !

[@allanwilliams6560]

Great interviews, does anyone have a link to h singing the Bin Day song ?

[@mickt9110]

lucky chaps!

[@pdtomson]

Well that's the least awkward monthly you've done. The better halves should be in more of them!

[@gemmachaos]

Interesting that Linette also calls their son Vibes. Did H ever give her a nickname, too?

[@jezza10181]

The wives ought to form their own band... called The Wives maybe :)

[@user-gd1pp3dy5e]

My idea is for tou to talk about the bands Solos projects songs and members

[@user-gd1pp3dy5e]

Example I came across a live video of still marrilion playing misplaced childhood live and the singer sounds like fush but never know nothing about it until I cane across it my mistake

[@MissingMars]

Ian is a closet comedian! Extremely dry (British) & the funniest of the lot!

[@stephenwest673]

Ocean Cloud…a pee break song…wth 🧐

[@NicholasPayne-uq2rt]

I much prefer the retail edition of Marbles for that reason.

[@jimw6659]

Better halves?... but isn't it the men in these relationships that are the reason for our attention?

[@trustinsynchronicity]

Well, who do they write songs for???? duh

[@extromous]

we say 'better halves', because it's their 'other halves', their wives, who keep their husbands grounded... well balanced and sensible!
