AUDIO: Dame Diana Rigg Q&A at the V&A, London



It is apt that to mark the opening of a photographic exhibition charting the rise of our monarch, the V&A museum chooses a princess of televisual supremacy, Britannia's very own Dame Diana Rigg.

On 10th February, a mild winter evening, something quite special tingles in the air. Or should I say, someone quite special glides through the V&A cafe. Running a little ahead of schedule, getting very lost around the moving corridors of the vast building attempting to locate the subtly labelled lecture theatre (a vague notion of Harry Potter on his first day meandering Hogwarts springs to mind), something equally magical happened; a premature shared presence with the 'Queen of Sin' herself. Fleeting yes, but special nonetheless, as Dame Diana is escorted past me, to be settled for pre-talk pabulum. Fast forward twenty minutes, seated and primed with anticipation, enter Diana, the embodiment of of 60s propulsive meritorious cool, stage left.

Eve Myles Q&A panel at the SFX Weekender 3

Couldn't make the third SFX Weekender event? Hopefully this recording will help.

The fantastic and funny Eve Myles, Torchwood's feisty and fearless leading lady Gwen Cooper, talks Wales Vs America, motherhood Vs bazookas and John Barrowman and his erm, 'little Barrowman'.

Interviewed by SFX Magazine's Reviews Editor, Ian Berriman, Eve proved to be a total natural at addressing the masses, exceptionally appreciative of her peers and fans, with a natural knack for making a full-to-capacity auditorium blush and laugh in unison.

Just click on the orange 'play' button below for the Q&A recording. Enjoy!

SFX Weekender 3; Survived.

Just a quick post to say that yet again, third year running, the team at SFX Magazine put on an event for the geek masses, and did us all proud.

Full post to follow, with a few snaps, but in the mean time, keep an eye on my next posts where I'll be popping up a couple of audio recordings I made of the Eve Myles (Torchwood) and Colin Baker (Doctor Who) Q&A panels.
