Dame Helen Mirren interview - Parkinson - BBC

[Tungstencube66]

Bravo Helen....jo n cilla are a pair of Trogs.

[beery11]

haha- when Dame HM says 'it's all about me", jo brand seems thoroughly pissed off and crossed her arms. it might have been all about Jo at one point, that not when Helen stepped onto the stage!

[AnansieDeSpider]

Dame Helen is a babe even at her advanced age..who are those two ugly fucking mutants next to her? Its jo brand and song thief cilla black !

[AnansieDeSpider]

Id smash the granny out of that!

[GeorgeMillerAtkinson]

I'm 19 but my GOD the things i would do to that woman.

[cranebeg]

1:52 'and i'm letching you now aren't i' filthy old bastard, get back to you're over 50 plan!

[misterbateman808]

look at her dirty tits

[boazsenator]

She is beautifull, in whatever she does

[randomdave30]

Dear Dame Helen Mirren.... With all due respect, you can sit on my face any day.....

[sleepypoodle]

She seems like such a likeable, extraordinarily gracious, dignified and unpretentious woman who has clearly forgiven Parkinson's oafish treatment of her back in 1975. I love her dress too, it's absolutely beautiful.

[spida777]

I dont get it, she accepts being a dame yet she criticizes it. what a fucking hypocrite

[b1ueocean]

this helen mirren lady has some serious sex appeal, wow :p

[BrokenTengu99]

I would still so do her

[TheHumanBallsack]

She's a super GILF.....

[Skylikeday]

One of the best living actors/actresses today! And although her acting is her best feature of course, you can't ignore how absolutely stunning she is. I can only dream of aging that well...

[Thentherewasgr8ness]

so posh...so sexy

[janaughty]

she was great in the queen

[anonUK]

Even now, she's still slightly on edge with him.

[jojojigaboo]

i want her tits !

[Gandalf4568]

When has this aired on television ? 

[Starskypuss1]

I'm not sure how old she is here but god she's sexy.

[LumpySpunk]

Gay

[alexbvb1]

i think parkinson it's a litle bit horny ? =)))

actually we all are honest .. i love her jugs.

[iiwatcher]

She's a damn good actor. Plus, Mirren is one of those rare older women who one can truthfully stayed hot into her later years. I'm not into older women at all, but she would would have been an exception (not anymore, now that she's really getting up there). I've seen pics of her when she was young. I would have utterly destroyed her. For hours. Then came back for seconds.

[juliaegrant]

He hasn't improved in all the years between their interviews. What an ass... She is incredibly amazing- he is privileged to have her on his show!!!

[godfreyih]

But Parky, as ever, never seems to know when to shut the fuck up and you can see Dame Helen looking more and more bemused as he twats and prattles on.

[mikka2005]

Is that Jo Brand sitting next to her? Coz her body language is so interesting, she is totaly leaning towards the person sitting next to her, away from Parky. But whenever he says somethin she likes or agrees with him she leans towards him. Whatching how such a sexy woman handles herself around others is incredibly intriguing.

Anywayz, LOVE her!

[HitchHikersBlues]

She's a bit of a legend...

[pomegranateish]

I'm glad she lost the funny voice she had in the earlier interview with him.

He's still a tool.

[poptopia1]

i dont care how old she is , shes hot !

[lamestguyintown]

I dont see the attraction of america

[NORMANGODS]

@lamestguyintown its really nice in california,people are polite and friendly compared to england

[FungusMossGnosis]

@NORMANGODS

What part of CA are you in? Not my parts, I gather... what, are you in a small Northern town?

[NORMANGODS]

@FungusMossGnosis no i live in england but i visit southern california,santa clarita,people are really friendly there

[FungusMossGnosis]

@NORMANGODS

Yeah, Santa Clarita counts as a smaller town.L.A. has plenty of tucked-away smaller communities that are nice. San Diego has almost none. In big metropolitan areas, I've found it much less friendly than the UK (in general!). Maybe they treated you better because of your accent? Lots of people have a thing for the Brit accent over here.

[Raahorakhty]

How old is she? 20?

[leviterande]

@Raahorakhty yeah x10... just joking

[pricelesspam]

@AnimalsAttackWhenYou  Not to me.

[Pa027B]

Parkinson is a massive wanker

[gouvyrock]

beautyfull woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[26095]

God, Helen, I love you.

[FSofty]

Still got it Helen!

[neverlovedaboy]

Those other women are obviously jealous of Helen, especially the big lady. Who are those woman?

[IDIOTES1982]

Jesus Christ Parky is such a Macho type of man

not a real Man

[tigerarmyrule]

Compare her voice here to the put on obvious attempt to sexualise her voice in her first interview with him.

[gimmeshelter1969]

Helen Mirren? Yum!

[themagicwookster]

She's Monumentally Talented, Regal, Intelligent and very beautiful, alas he is none of those things.

[CulturePeaceForever]

British Women are very sauve & sophisticated,as well as good actresses!

[1961Audrey]

No she is really rather plain her face that is her body is excellent and dresses up well and she uses makeup and fripperies very well Feminine a mans woman sums her up pretty well. Really beautiful women would find it irritating that men like her a lot.Because she likes them so very very much.She's also smart..

[satchboogyfan]

Parkinson is such a pompus ass

oh your so great but your a liar

Parkinson is a zit on Great Britains bum

[alvargonz00]

gibberish!

[KulaAShaker]

@whiterobin sorry m8 im only seeing jibberish can u type that again?

[TroyDouglas917]

She's a very good-looking older woman. The years have been very kind to her.

[morgandrim]

Just seen a Parkinson interview of Helen in her much younger days. She was a nice looking young woman. But couldn`t......... Now I could. Heck, I`m 46 years old, so the older broad is going to appeal to me !

[bandrakehead]

Just seen her in Long Good Friday - struth ruth she was and is an attractive woman.

[TheJohnfirth]

I remember her in O lucky man with Malclom McDowell the way she said"Micheal"

Helen is a wonderfull actress

[canadianskunk]

Is there a Man alive that doesn't find this Woman the most Phenomenally Beautiful, Bright and Talented to grace stage and screen? In my case I unabashedly drool a bit when enjoying any film or feature Dame Mirren appears in. She is simply Delicious!

[Leonnidik]

Helen, you got a great rack!!!

[craig557]

I have courted Fair Hermia and Morgana betimes...we have singularly shared the pith of love...she kept saying her name was Helen Miren just before the alarm clock went off.

[Scotsbell]

Dame Helen is a real classy actress. Other so called celebrities are not fit to clean her shoes.

[Lutomoria]

And she is a very lovely actress though. Especially when she was younger. She was such a beauty, and still has it.

[berryje1964]

she's hot

[Comcommer]

she's so beautiful...  5 stars *****

[Lisanab]

her body language is fascinating though .. she REALLY did not want to be there

[livevest]

@Lisanab

Yes you are just so right - I was thinking the same when I saw this - in another interview between these two, they admit to each other that they hated each other in the first interview when they both were much younger !!! Check it out

[govoryuporusski]

I was just watching State of Play and there was this one scene where Helen looked sooooooo sexy I had to look her up on youtube to see if it wasn't just a trick of the light.

[jackal2071]

It wasn't a tick - she really is that sexy. the only woman in her 60's that I would do anything to go to bed with!

[Allyredstar]

Helen a great leading role, that is very good as a woman, but think she is off stage too and besides that a great actress.

[missemily123123]

could anyone give me a date for this interview???

im using it for my english language a level coursework and would find it helpful :) thankssss

[EveHenleySpread]

Well seen as she talks about having just completed another Prime Suspect after a long break - she must be talking about No. 6 which was released in 2003 so it has to be around then - possibly early 2004.

[KenfromDublin]

Yeah, I'll give you a date any time honey, private message me and we'll arrange the time and place.

;)

[goldyn12345]

she seems more friendlier here, i watched the interview she did with parky in the mid seventies and she seems to have a bit of an attitude!!!!

[spuffchops70]

I'm inclined to disagree. Parky was being a total arsehole in that interview. She was just being herself: a liberated woman.

[AlanCanon2222]

This American hasn't seen "Prime Suspect," but what about Helen Mirren as Capt. Tanya Kirbuk in "2010: The Year We Make Contact?" (first movie I saw her in, and she looked damned good in a futuristic Soviet flight suit when I was 15.) "You haf been drinking your vhiskey from Kentucky!"

[prettythings89]

@AlanCanon2222 haha I've never heard of this film, but you've made it my sole life mission to get my hands on it ;)

[jimbob7070]

take a look a the woman in the middles reaction at 02:46

[jackal2071]

That's Jo brand - made a career out of being a ungracious bad-tempered cow (you virtually couldn't find a greater opposite to Helen if you tried)!

[jodethetoad76]

be proud to be british ! theres nothing guilty about it

[TrustYourOwnInstinct]

It´s not often you can say "what a hottie" about an old woman.

But she is deeeeelicious !

[TableWolfMusic]

Would that make her a DILF?

[houseofstorm]

Oh mummy! she is soooooo Hot.

[Satchel334]

This interview is amazing! 35 years ago Mirren and Parkinson did an interview in 1973! And they are still alive and kicking today! And they still both look pretty good!

[GatoPoder]

"I mean what British empire?" Ha ha. She's brilliant. And, yes, totally sexy.

[MilitantOldLady]

for her age....she's still a hottie

[ovimavi]

Obvously, she is aging beautifully. I don't think she was ever as beautiful as she is now. Really...

[taintedhistory2]

I agree. I just watched a video of her and Parkinson when she had to have been in her mid-20's. She was beautiful then, and is still lovely now. She has a sweet personality too.

[beerzippy]

As she gets older, she seems to get more beutiful.....

[commissar17]

It's true that Helen is astonishingly beautiful, but she's also a superb actor and that's far more important (my teenage fantasies about her in the 1970s nothwithstanding!)

[takomaguy]

Is Helen Mirren ashamed of the fact that she her ancestors are Russian aristocracy?

[adaircairell]

No need to mark it down, it's just a question!

I don't know... I reckon that to some extent, she changed it because of prejudicial purposes. Did you know that Michael Caine is called something like Maurice Mickelwhite Jr?

[takomaguy]

Yeah. I'm not a monarchist be any stretch of the imagination, it's just that I read her grandparents we in London on government business when the Lenin took over. Her parents got out and some off her kin didn't fair to well, So when she say something about the British Royals, I just kind of wonder what the deal is. I also heard her father was a member of the CWP.

[feliciter84]

Well there's not a lot she can do about it either way really, is there?

You can't choose who your ancestors were.

[takomaguy]

My point exactly. So why try and run from who and what you are? Take pride.

[thedivinemisswhite]

She epitomizes grace and elegance, although I question her choice of florals. A beautiful dress on a younger woman, but a bit mumsy on Helen. Nevertheless, she is incredibly beautiful.

[OnlytrueDiva]

She´s the mos beautiful woman I´ve ever seen. I could swear I´m lovesick^^ I could look at her and watch her all day long, seven days a week. She must be wicked or something.

[effyleven]

At a school in Woodford Green, London, where she was in the cast of a 20 minute playlet that made it to the top three of a schools' drama competition.

There was no public entry to the comp... I was there with my friends to support another group, but all the same I was mightily impressed by Helen Mirren..

..apart from being very pretty, and "flouncing" brilliantly..

..she played "Julie", a good girl who came to a sticky end by getting in with the wrong crowd.

Hmm.. Would she remember..?

[wacko0123]

i once saw her at a beach in california. she sags just like any other woman who doesn't exercise. make up & filtered camera lenses are an old actresses best friends.

[Tazz77]

Any woman her age is going to sag a bit. I saw some pictures of her on a beach late last year and she looked very good for someone in her 60s.

[marshmallowpeeps241]

absolute icon! love her!

[tyandshell79]

beautiful woman

[thedivinemisswhite]

Why is he so intimidated by her? The infamous interview with her in 1975 was embarrassing to watch. He is awkward with her in the interview about her role her in The Queen, and he he is supine and groveling.

One can only assume he is attracted and is reduced to an awkward teenager in her company.

[diverdan00]

Indeed. I think you're right.

[324wilson]

I loved her in movie The Queen. Helen made the Queen more human in our minds.

[GSTQII]

I'd have to disagree with you there. She was a bit stiff as The Queen but still she is a great actor and deserves to be a Dame Commander of the British Empire.

But when it comes down to it no one can be as gracious and elegant as The Queen herself. Not even the best of actresses.

[324wilson]

True...

GOD SAVE QUEEN ELIZABETH!!!

[dhlfh]

Helen mirren is gorgeous......

[conniemirrenfan]

helen is great

[notenut]

she works her ass off

[celticoffspring]

Good video hot looking dame haha.

[christentze]

hahaha. 2:45, the woman sitting next to helen doesn't look too happy. kidding, perhaps?

[gaygirlWinnifred25]

that woman is JO BRAND

[peteandurnot]

Yes, a hilarious Comedian in her own right.

[mozziebe]

ye but jo folds her arms wen mirren laughingly says that prime suspect is all about her. Detect a bit of unspoken jealously... but helen and jo are great in their own ways.

[DanEvans464]

Yeah, Jo does seem a little pissed off! lol I personally think she's a bit of a bitch to Fry on QI quite a lot, so, if she was genuinely pissed off at Mirren, who is a great woman, I'm glad!

[christentze]

i love how she says "vagabond." i could listen to her talk and joke everyday, all day.

[DanEvans464]

Do I detect a degree of mild sexual tension in the air between Parky and Helen after the subject of flirting had been touched on??? hahaha

[jollyjokerman69]

definitely

[Valapaca]

Helen the Great!!!

[therealpurplephoenix]

The dress, the shoes, and the earrings deserve a triple wow.

-->"It's all about me." Nice!

[p0keyl0pe]

Hmm... I suppose I better clarify that I meant "as good as her at her age."

[p0keyl0pe]

I hope I look this good at her age.

[mirrenmaniac]

"I don't think this is his best interview at all but he's usually not so flippant."

Parkinson has an unfortunate HABIT of conveying a flippant attitude in his interviews with Dame Helen.

In fact, this may be one of his relatively serious and intelligent interviews with her - or, at least, he is not displaying his usual, insulting pre-occupation with her "physical attributes".

[effyleven]

Flippant? Parkie is trying to hide the fact that he fancies her something rotten, and always has!!

Just like me. I say her on stage in a school production when she was just 15-yoa, and have been utterly smitten ever since. ;-)

[mirrenmaniac]

LOL: "WHAT British Empire?"

Amen, Dame Helen.

[sophiamirrenfan]

Such fun!! "Flirting with the left wing" she still has a way of exposing and ridiculing what he says, she is so quickwitted!! Thanks BBC for posting. More on dame Helen if you please.

[StarlightMelody]

Thanks so much BBC !

But...Sir, may I have some more ? ;-D

Keep Helen Mirren videos coming ! We will be so grateful to you ! ;-D

[barbras7]

Yay! She's doing another Prime Suspect!? Fantastic, I can't wait.

[florianaalina]

Actually the interview is from 2003 I think! So it refers to PS6

[barbras7]

Oh... sad.:( Thanks for telling me.:)

[helenmirrenfan4ever]

This guy is such an ass. I have only watched Helen interviews with him but from what i have seen he's a jerk.

[suziescott2007]

I like him, he's like the British version on Letterman sort of.....thank you BBC for posting....

[helenmirrenfan4ever]

I really don't like letterman either but. I am just saying from what I have seen of him He's not to pleasant

[suziescott2007]

and I LOVE Letterman....

[HollyHearts]

Thank you BBC :D

[watchman241]

shes had a facelift. She always been a sexy woman.

[shiki5876]

Parky is a twat. Mirren looks stunning.

I most definitely would.

[morgandrim]

Well, what man wouldn`t shiki5876 ?
