No doubt more are to come, but if you wanted to see everything, this is the place to go! I personally really really enjoyed watching the TV interviews (particularly GMTV and Film 24′s Bitesize) as these clips are extra hard to come by, and pictures are of course worth a thousand words. I am 100% certain that you will enjoy them too if you haven’t already seen them, so do take a look!

p/s: An extra special thanks to tommo for letting us feature her hard work on S-H.com!

As part of this week’s edition of Film Weekly, Jason Solomons interviews Sally Hawkins and Eddie Marsan about Mike Leigh‘s new film, Happy-Go-Lucky. This news update is courtesy of babsden from the Sally Hawkins Domain, and the interview starts off with a brief clip of a dialogue between Poppy (SH’s character) and Scott(EM’s role) during a driving lesson.

It then moves onto the actual interview, where they touch briefly on playing the characters, and talk about filming the driving scenes; and I have to say, although we do focus on Sally Hawkins on this site, Eddie Marsan was incredibly funny as well. They make such a good combination during the interview, and Sally Hawkins‘ laughter is really very infectious!

Not the funniest part of the interview, but just to give you a teaser:

JS: Did you have any accidents?
SH: Yes, just a few.

As a side note, after reading and listening to a couple of interviews, the common theme is that Mike Leigh really does keep his actors guessing during the filming!

You can listen to the full podcast by visiting the website, or by clicking on the ‘play’ button below. The interview starts at around 16:30, which is just over halfway through the programme, and (sadly) lasts a brief 6 minutes, ending at 22:40.
