I made a nice salad and we had a bottle of chilled white wine.

He was very amused, I remember, because I'd put it in a big vase with ice at the bottom.

I said, well, that's my wine chiller.

He kept on saying, isn't this lovely?

What a lovely lunch.

It was such a happy, such a happy day.

I'd like to hear dear old Harry Seacombe sing opera.

I met him when we did Songs of Praise in the Ballet Arex.

He had a house in Mallorca, and of course I had this one in Menorca.

And he and the crew came over, and I said to him, you often sing to me while I'm here, you know?

Oh, he said, looking very surprised, so I went and fetched one of my tapes, which was operatic arias, and there was Callas and Domingo and Carreras and Seacombe, and he said, oh, I'm in good company.

Well, Vanessa was very good, Vanessa Whitburn, our editor.

She asked me how I would feel about it.

Right.

I said, I'm all for it.

Let's give it all the publicity we can, especially the plight of the carers as well, to highlight that as well.

Well, they did consult me in the first place.

They invited me to a script conference and they asked me questions.

But the scripts have all been so beautifully written, I've never wanted to change anything.

Well, when I'm in the studio, I'm Peggy.
