Fiona Harvey denies the depiction of herself receiving free drinks from Richard Gadd in Baby Reindeer

Transcript

00:00He didn't offer me a cup of tea. Nobody gets anything free from the Holy Arms.

00:04I was in for a meal with a drink of lemonade and I was very, very hungry.

00:10I'm diabetic, so very hungry. So that's true.

00:13And did you talk to him?

00:14He interrupted a conversation. There was another barman there.

00:17And he said, oh, you're Scottish, and basically commandeered the conversation.

00:21You know, I was talking to somebody. It's pretty rude to interrupt.

00:23So he seemed to be obsessed with me from that moment onwards.

00:27I mean, just speaking to you, I've never met you before,

00:30but you do look and sound very similar to the actress in the drama.

00:36I haven't seen the actress. We're both Scottish. We've both got dark hair.

00:40She's considerably younger than me. I think she's about 18 years younger than me.

00:44How old are you, if you don't mind me asking?

00:46I'm 58. I'm a year younger than you.

00:48And I think Martha, Jessica, the actress, is about 40, 38, 40.

00:54It says in the show that you proceeded to return to the same pub time and again,

00:58but you never paid for a drink.

01:00I don't drink alcohol.

01:02Did you pay for anything that you had at the pub?

01:04Lemonade or soft drinks.

01:06Would he give you free drinks?

01:07No, absolutely not.

01:08This is sort of a depiction of me as a pauper

01:10who wouldn't stand around or stand a drink. It's nonsense.
