It's Angela.
I once chatted to an old man
because I felt sorry for him,
only to find out later
he was a global megastar.
David's team.
Well, we have to know who the
global megastar was. Who was he?
Erm, Steven Spielberg.
Where did you see Steven Spielberg
and take pity on him?
Erm, the Baftas.
I was doing the red carpet
thing for BBC Three.
So, had he stopped
for an interview with you?
Erm, no. So, I was, you know,
waiting
for the next person to come up.
It was Michael Fassbender.
And I was, you know, getting
in the zone,
and then I saw this, you know,
very refined older gentleman
standing there and I thought
he was maybe somebody's dad.
There wasn't a lot of fuss around
him? Cos he is Steven Spielberg.
You'd think. He looked
a little bit lost and I thought,
"I'm just going to have a chat
with him," cos it could be my dad
and I'd want someone
to have a chat with him.
Did you put the microphone there
to have the chat with him?
No, I thought it was an old man,
chatting.
It would be an odd way,
if you saw somebody a bit lost
and a bit old-looking, to go,
"Are you lost?"
"Are you lost?"
Yeah, also... So, you stepped away
from your cameraman and the crew...
Yep. So, I had a bit of downtime.
There was a VT playing, whatever.
Yeah. ET? VT.
Thought they'd put one of
his films on, then! No.
So, anyway...
"What are you watching, old man?"
"I did this one."
"Eyy! Why is the monkey on
the bike?"
So, what did you say to him, Angela?
I was like, "Is this
your first time at the Baftas?"
And he said, "No, actually,
"I've been a few times,
but not for quite a while."
I was like, "OK, maybe he's not
somebody's dad."
And I said, "Oh, OK.
"Who are you looking forward
to seeing tonight?"
Oh, I thought you said,
"Who are you looking for?"
Like, I just kept it loose -
you know, "Who do you want to win?"
"Have you any favourites?"
"It's been a strong year for film."
You actually said, "Fill-um"?
STRONG IRISH ACCENT: "Do you
work in the films yourself, like?"
APPLAUSE
How did it conclude?
And then I could feel the
cameras coming towards us.
And they were like,
"Interview him!" Is that the idea?
No, no, no.
As in, I just kept going.
Cos you saw the cameras? Yeah.
So, you DID start to bring
the microphone in? Yeah, when did
the microphone...
I was miked, so he could be picked
up on my microphone.
Did you ask him to speak into your
chest? No, no, no...
LAUGHTER
Similar height.
So, why did you not think
to use the hand-held, then?
Well, it would be a bit awkward
if then I'm like,
"Oh, he must be someone.
Can I have the microphone?" and keep
talking to him.
Well, you must have known
that he was someone prominent.
Yeah, obviously, but I can't
ask him!
It would be a great last question
in an interview!
And just to sum up...
"Who are you?"
APPLAUSE
John, does it ring true to you?
Could that happen?
I just think... Everyone would know.
Everyone would know what Steven
Spielberg... Was he wearing glasses?
Erm, I think so.
Are we playing Guess Who?
I can't believe, in the whole time
you were chatting, nobody went past
and said, "Hey, Steve,
how are you doing?"
You know, and that maybe rang
a bell?
But they thought we were having
an interview, I suppose.
But you didn't have a microphone or
a camera, so why do they think that?
You are obsessed
with this microphone, Gabby!
She is not pitch-side with
Dion Dublin. It's not important!
So, what are you thinking,
then? David, what about you?
We're going to go lie. You're saying
it's a lie. I'm saying it's a lie.
Angela, Steven Spielberg
on the red carpet...
Truth or lie?
He's a lovely man.
