The beeb had highlights from this years red nose day. Some funny scenes, some interesting stories on the projects they fund. Still, the highlight was obviously Ali G doing an interview with Posh and Becks. I hadn't seen that one yet, though I read the interview on the web. I just reread it, it is not entirely accurate, they had cut plenty out, though some things I saw I couldn't find in the script. Never mind, it was funny to see somebody asking them all kind of questions everybody is dying to ask them. Then again, with Posh just giggling most of the time and Beckham eloquent as ever (i.e. says fuck all) it was mainly a one man show by Ali G. But he's good at that anyway. I'll put the whole interview in the comment section for those who are interested.
part 4
Date: 2001-12-29 04:52 pm (UTC)V: I don't know, I mean what makes anybody posh. I don't know I'm not really posh. I just like wearing nice clothes and going to nice restaurants and that's how I got called posh.
You're pretty posh with all your gold on and all your glitter.
Ali: For real - Ali! Ah-lee Posh! Me always feel that a posh girl was one that won't go all the way on the first night. You know, only gives you the top half.
(Turning to Beckham) So tell me exactly how posh was she on the first night?
B: She was posh for about four months.
Ali: Four months? I tell you, me Julie started off well posh, but after about half an hour, she was well common!
Now David, if I can call you that, cos I never met you before, David, they say posh people talk like they've got a plum in their mouth. Does your missus sound posh when she's got your plums in her mouth?
(Crowd erupts and Beckham chokes with laughter)
Ali: What was you coughing up then?
(Beckham can only silently stare and meets Ali's eyes for a couple of seconds)
Ali: Ahh, you were trying to communicate something then to me, I think (does 'psychic look' as he touches his temples).
V: He was gonna say that you're not actually meant to speak when you've got your mouthful so you wouldn't actually have that problem.
Ali: Respect! So you say you have to have manners whatever you're doing?
Now you is well rich right?
V: Yep!
Ali: Respect! How big is your house?
V: It's a nice house, it's nice, it's a big house. But it's a very family, you know, very nice family house.
Ali: You actually got a spare bedroom and everything?
V: Yes.
Ali: Is you so rich that sometimes you got someone to cook your meals?
V: Nah.
B: I do that.
V: David's a good cook.
Ali: Alright, for real! But what if right, will you donate a million quid to charity?
V: No.
B: We can't do that V: We thought we'd do what you said earlier and break into someone's house for Comic Relief.
Ali: What about breaking into your own house?
V: Nothing to nick in our house.
Ali: Come on Beckham, will you do it?
B: No!
Ali: Come on, don't be stingy. There's brothers out there dying and shit - come on!
That's like a weeks work for you.
V: I've got an idea?
B: We don't earn as much as everyone thinks. To donate a million pounds would be very hard for us.
V: I've got an idea what you can do for Comic Relief, right. Why don't you take your hat off and show the audience how long your hair's got, then shave it off for Comic Relief!'
Ali: I cannot take my hat off ? my dreads will be everywhere. It's like the Tardis in here! So much dreads that have been stuck in here. It cannot be taken off seriously. So, they is some people who suddenly get loads of money who become very tasteless.
How has you two managed to avoid that?
V: I don't know, I'm sure we're wearing things that some people look at and think they are tasteless.
Ali: No. (to audience) They is looking well nice and that, what? Very nice with the, er .. thing on the top.
And that is made out of leather. Is that real leather? (goes to feel her chest).
V: Yes.
Ali: That's nice. And nice boots.
