Video transcript

But the the kids Uh, it was all improvised.

And I for various reasons one because you could never get kids to sound like kids.

If you mean that little scene we just saw that she was improvising.

She was improvising.

That's incredible.

It is incredible.

Well, they must be very bright then.

Oh, they are.

Oh, yes.

Well, they're my Children, obviously.

But I know you.

You're right.

Um, it's sometimes, you know, love them as we do.

It's a bit painful watching Children acting because you can see them acting, you know, And that was the thought that was that that was one of the thoughts was that you'll never get them to sound like real Children unless you let them be real Children.

And the other reason was, perhaps more fundamentally was that when we started, they were so young that I think Ramona, who plays current, couldn't read.

There's no point in giving them a script.

Because it sort of I don't think we live together anymore, you know, as a family and the coming, you know.

But there's lots of different stuff to reflect, isn't there?

I mean, I mean, one of the great things about the show was it actually did sort of seem to me to reflect life as it actually was.
