RT: How many performances are there?
Liz: Three!

RT: Why just three?
Liz: I think it’s just kind of a little test. It will be good.

RT: Will this be your first acting role?
Liz: No, I’ve been acting up all my life!

RT: But this will be non-stop won’t it, acting on the stage.
Liz: Yes, it will be different. I don’t know how I’m gonna deal with that. Because when I’m on TV I can talk for three hours but it’s completely ad-lib. I can just waffle but this is a script where you’ve got to learn every single line. So it’s going to be very testing for me and I’m actually very glad that, a) it is out of London and, b) it’s only three nights.

RT: What’s the best job you’ve had so far?
Liz: I don’t know really. Probably the Pop Factory because it was ITV Wales, prime time, big show and we were meeting big guests. Victoria Beckham came on the show, the Lost Prophets, Tom Jones. You know we’ve had loads of big bands. We discovered and interviewed The Darkness before anyone else and now of course they’re huge but two years ago no-one even wanted to see them on TV. So in a way I think Pop Factory and ITV Wales discovered them because that’s the first place they played. So it’s a good TV show.

RT: And this is your new flat?
Liz: It’s not finished yet. The kitchen’s just been ripped out, no handles on the doors! I’ve wanted an original Brigitte Bardot poster for years. Mine is actually a limited edition and dates back to 1963. It’s an original vintage poster that would have been in cinemas at the time to advertise the film. A lot of these got destroyed so there’s only... well I don’t know how many there are but I think there were only 1000 printed. And obviously a lot would have been torn down. I saw this poster about three years ago in a shop but it was sold and I said to the girl, Liza, in the collectors, its actually atthemovies.co.uk, that I absolutely love the poster but I couldn’t afford it at the time. I said who’s got it and she said somebody in New York has brought it. And I said ‘could you see if you could get me another one or get me the same’ and she said ‘how much would you offer’ and I said ‘well I don’t want to go to more than £2500’, so she went to them and said ‘would you ever sell it’? They had bought it for £1300 three years ago and I just bought it from them for £1800. That took a lot of squabbling as they wanted £2200.
