Thank you so much for getting this on-line, David. Certainly, Nicholson gives an interviewing masterclass. Thoughtful questions, and she listens to the answers, swiftly assimilates what was said, and follows up the thread in an unforced and natural way. It is particularly interesting to know that this interview took place right after a performance, and so early in the life of the show. Thanks, also, for the link to her interview with Kenneth Williams. That is also excellent; I have never seen Williams looking so relaxed as some moments there.

Thanks for your appreciation, Shirley. I totally agree with your assessment of the Nicholson technique. She should be better remembered than she seems to be.
