James spoke to BBC Somerset's Helen Otter in July 2006. You can listen to the interview by clicking on this audio link:  | | James Fleet in Habeas Corpus |
Talking about Habeas Corpus, James said: "It's about a dysfunctional family in Brighton, and they're all sex-mad really! "Playing Doctor Wicksteed, I get to speak directly to the audience and I get to be nasty - I really do enjoy that." You can listen to James speaking about what he thinks of Bath, and how he's planning to call in on Trevor Peacock (his co-star in The Vicar of Dibley, who lives right here in Somerset) for a cup of tea, whilst he's in the area! James also talks about his prolific acting career, including his role in Four Weddings and a Funeral. "No one was very starry - in fact, we all had terrible hayfever whilst filming it. At the time, I didn't think anyone was going to like it, but it was a huge success and great fun to do."

It's a little-known fact, but James even appeared in the classic children's TV show, Grange Hill. It may have been a while ago, but James still remembers the theme tune - in fact, he sings it in the interview! If that's not enough, you can also listen to James talking about his idea of perfect happiness, his most embarassing moment and what he would do if he was invisible for the day! Habeas Corpus is directed by Sir Peter Hall and runs in repertory until Saturday 12 August, 2006 before heading off on a six-week tour of the UK. |
