More From Dawn French

You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.

Period films to me are very often alienating to the audience. there's very often a formality. a staunchy quality to them that comes from the misenscene. it also comes from the performances of the actors, because they're acting victorian which really means that they're just acting the way they've seen previous actors act victorian.
Mean Acting Quality

I say "on principle" [regarding 'lesbian writer'] because whenever you get one of your minority labels applied, like "irish writer," "canadian writer," "woman writer," "lesbian writer" - any of those categories - you always slightly wince because you're afraid that people will think that means you're only going to write about canada or ireland, you know.

We're creating a tv show of scrooge, starring jamie farr, with buddy hackett as scrooge. we're shooting in this victorian set for weeks, and hackett is pissed all the time, angry that he's not the center of attention, and finally we get to the scene where we've gotta shoot him at the window, saying, "go get my boots," or whatever. the set is stocked with victorian extras and little children in oliver kind of outfits, and the director says, "all right, bud - just give it whatever you want." and hackett goes off on a rant. unbelievably obscene.

The victorian house and lots of other buildings weren't oppressive in themselves. they were often very airy and gingerbready and fancy. but they were associated with all this [victorian] stuffiness.
