You had it spot on. She commented how much lighter his skin was than his son Bill's*  but even though she led with something like "you're quite light for a blackie",  the tone was one of genuine curiosity and interest. * And the very logical explanation was that Bill's mother was much darker skinned than his character. I like that this detail was included because I'm sure it's the kind of thing that someone in her position would be curious about. Nope. I knew they were both in it, but hadn't made that connection at all. That's lovely. This is great. And it was equally exciting for me to see Tameka Empson and Linda Henry in the same space because I similarly hadn't put those pieces together either (even though I knew they'd both gone on to appear in Enders after Beautiful Thing). Oh, this is lovely. I've just watched the whole thing and even without the full context it's such a warm and lovely conversation. Their description of the weight of responsibility as black actors in such a high profile event was fascinating. It's also fascinating to hear about the process behind a two-hander, from anxiety over learning the dialogue, to the fact that the producer said it was fine if Rudolph didn't want to do it. And  how far removed Patrick is from Bill Reynolds. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
