Straight from the pages of MODE magazine, she’s more than just an Extra, it’s the one and only Ashley Jensen. Rob finds out about Ashley’s first big break, what makes Ricky Gervais stop telling jokes and what it was really like working with Samuel L. Jackson, David Bowie and Ben Stiller. Rob also explores Ashely’s new starring role in the BBC drama series Shetland.

I saw Samuel L. Jackson in a play last January. The funniest part happened in the dark just before the play when he did the announcement welcoming everyone, reminding us not to take pictures and to open candies and lozenges... Ending with "...and turn off your motherfucking phones!"

@@justmyster1976 you may have missed it but Miss Jensen spoke at length about how impressive and charismatic she had found Samuel L Jackson. I mentioned the incident at the play because I found it funny. You see, in English, it is rather unusual for the audience to be addressed with the term "motherfucking" at a Broadway theatre, especially before the show has even begun. Unusual, but at the same time, perfectly on brand for Jackson, for whom variations on the word "motherfucker" are his signature. Your misuse of the word "eat" suggests to me that English might not be your first language. On the other hand, it is clear that "snarky" is your default attitude, so much so that you wasted your own time to point out to the whole world that you hadn't been able to understand a stranger's little anecdote.

Love Ashley Jensen and Rob Brydon is just fantastic. He's a national treasure and should have his own chat show on tv. He is so much better than what we currently have. He asks interesting questions and if he interrupts with a funny aside he then steers the other person back to the question. Instead of just interrupting with something that usually isn't funny and then talking about something else so we never get to hear the end of the question like so many ego driven interviewers do.

I was late in discovering Ashley. I did watch Ugly Betty, but her character didn't really have that much to do. What made me love her was Agatha Raisin, which PBS ran for a while. I loved the physical humor and everything else she brought to the role. And she's been delightful in every interview I've seen with her. I also admired her strength when she was coping with personal tragedy.
