00:00everyone was supposed to call me Susan, even on the phone, strangely. I wasn't on any of
00:05the call sheets, any of the paperwork. I didn't stay in the same hotels as the cast.
00:09So when they called you and said, we want you to come back and play Sonia,
00:12what was your reaction at that point?
00:13I was delighted. I did have a little idea, because I had, I haven't said this to anyone, but
00:20I did a TV show called Archie. And it must have been last October, we had the press screening in
00:26the Soho Hotel. And as I was walking down the stairs, I saw James Corden and Ruth Jones get
00:32out of a lift together in the hotel. And I knew from things that they've said that they write
00:38in hotels together, and they both looked quite shocked to see me. And I thought, oh,
00:44they're writing the Christmas special, they're writing another one. But obviously,
00:47I didn't know if I was going to be in it. So I was very pleased that I got the call,
00:51because I thought it's definitely happening.
00:53Have you asked them about that, Laura? Did that play any part?
00:57I asked James when I saw him, and he said, yeah, we were like,
01:02oh my god, she knows, she knows, she knows, as soon as they saw me.
