00:00She didn't like that.
00:02And she did say quite early on, you know,
00:05I don't really want to be doing this at all,
00:07but I'm doing it for you and I'm doing it to support you.
00:10And I felt so grateful, so, so grateful.
00:16But also I didn't want to be putting her through something.
00:19So she, the way that she kind of managed herself really
00:24was that she didn't actually want to talk about anything
00:27until we got there, until the day.
00:30So she would get there, she would be prepared,
00:33but then she would just say to me, I don't like it today.
00:35I don't like, I don't like the gown and the wig and the thing.
00:38I don't want to get in the bed.
00:40Okay, right, I've got that off my chest.
00:42Okay, yeah, what should I do?
00:44And I would say, get in the bed, lie down,
00:46don't move your head, okay, action.
00:48And I just had to be very practical with her.
00:50And actually, what more, you know,
00:52what more do you offer someone like Helen Mirren
00:54who is going to instinctively respond
00:58to whatever's in front of her in brilliant ways?
