Michael gave us long white coats to wear, which we all felt a bit silly in. Then we all made bread rolls, mixing flour and water with our hands. My sister kept complaining at first.

Some people loved him, but there were others who were against the programme because they thought it was wrong to make jokes about politics on television. I haven’t seen that series for years. I don’t think they could repeat it because many of the jokes were from that time.

It’s about a family who meet to celebrate a birthday, and all kinds of things happen - things that could happen to anyone, anywhere. That’s why it’s so funny. | really liked playing the part of Henri because in some ways his character is similar to mine. Henri’s a bit of a loner and behaves very badly at times. I was delighted when the authors of the play saw it and congratulated me, saying I was exactly as they'd imagined Henri, Although the g 7/10 Ma dé: 14 play is a comedy, it contains serious messages, such as how thoughtless people can be. It’s very true to life and that’s why I like it, 27.
