Millie Bobby Brown loves Angela Hartnett's vodka pasta! | Dish | Waitrose

One year, my mum, she goes, well, kids, life's a and then you die.

Is your mum Angela?

and only Millie Bobby Brown is here.

This is an honor to be here, you guys.

I love this podcast.

And you went up to the table and went, look at the table.

Look at the table, the chair.

Do you have any, like, rules in yours as to when the tree goes up and when the lights go up?

November 1st.

November 1st.

Have a holiday.

I'm making penne a la vodka.

This is amazing.

He goes, he's all right.

And I said, so are you.

Oh!

So are you.

She's got ribs.

Yeah.

Then they were like, give us an 11 look.

And I just looked into the little iPhone camera and just did that.

So that's where that originated from.

Oh, wow.

Angela the alpaca.

Angela the alpaca, yeah.

And what about me?

Don't be annoyed.

Okay, I won't be.

Because they're really cute and it's my favorite animal on the park.

Don't worry, you don't have to sugarcoat it.

Hello, welcome to Dish from Waitrose.

I am Nick Grimshaw.

And I'm Angela Hartnett.

And welcome to Dish at Christmas.

At Christmas, we have a tree.

We have a tree.

We've gone full Christmas now.

Full Christmas, lights, everything.

I feel like it's time.

Time.

Usually I like to be strict in December time.

You have a tree up, don't you?

Not yet.

Not yet.

It's coming this weekend.

We're going to do it this weekend for sure.

Wow.

Mish wants one in the bedroom.

Yeah.

Which I'm like, that is too much.

He's like, but yeah, but don't think when you go into bed and you're watching a Christmas movie in bed and there's a tree.

But I was like, no, no.

I want to put a tree in every window of my house.

I think it'd be good.

I keep wanting to put lights outside the house for Elsie.

And I said it to Sandra.

She goes, I'll do it.

And she has Christmas lights outside the pub.

So I might, just to upset everyone, have a sleigh and everything.

Yeah.

Why not?

I love it.

It's Christmas.

Love Christmas lights.

Love them.

We have our tree up.

We've sort of got food stuff on the tree.

There's like bean, baubles, there's cocktail, there's a gato, yeah, there's sardines, there is butter.

There's butter, yes.

Quite butter themed.

Butter themed.

Butter jumper.

I love the texture of this.

I know.

I have one of those on my Christmas tree.

Butter.

Yeah.

Delicious.

We've got our Christmas cards.

Yeah.

We've got one here.

I thought we could read out.

Okay.

It's Christmas.

Happy Christmas.

Happy Christmas.

Still thinking about those burnt pigs in blankets.

Hope to visit you again soon.

Cheers, Tom.

Tom, bless you.

The lovely Tom Holland, who of course joined us for Christmas last year.

Yes.

And we had those burnt pigs in blankets.

His favourite.

He loved them.

His favourite.

They were good burnt though.

Do you know what I mean?

Crispy.

I actually think you burning them is actually great for everybody listening because people will be starting to get nervous, stressed out.

Very nervous.

About Christmas dinner.

Yeah.

It happens to the best of us.

Do you know what I mean?

And a massive thank you to Sam, who obviously wrote that and not Tom Holland.

Because would Tom Holland put his name in brackets?

Just in case.

Probably not.

Tom Holland.

Tom.

Hey, Tom.

Tom Holland.

Do you get Christmas cards from any famous people?

Uh, always.

No, I'm not going to say.

Oh, okay.

I used to get one from Kylie.

Oh, wow.

Not anymore.

Oh.

I don't know what happened.

What have you done?

Have you moved?

I don't know.

I'd moved.

So someone might be getting a Christmas card from Kylie.

I wonder if she puts brackets Minogue and they're like, oh my God, it's from Kylie Minogue.

Brackets Minogue.

Yeah, I used to.

Yeah.

But not anymore.

Hey, we have Millie Bobby Brown.

with us today to talk all about Stranger Things, brand new series of Stranger Things, the final one.

We'll find out how she spends Christmas, what her plans are, all of that very soon.

Have you ever met Millie Bobby Brown?

No, never met her.

I met her on the radio a very long time ago, maybe 10 years ago.

when she came into Radio 1 with the rest of the cast of Stranger Things.

And how old was she then then?

Like 11 or 12 maybe, something like that.

It's incredible she's had this career at such a young age.

And such a huge loved show.

Still massive as well.

Absolutely.

She's just come in now and is actually very excited about being on Dish.

She was, wasn't she?

She loves it.

Very excited about Christmas too.

So yeah, Millie will be here in a sec talking strange things, talking Christmas.

But first, should we talk seasonality?

Yes, let's do it.

Please, I beg.

I beg.

So chestnuts.

Chestnuts.

Chestnuts.

Whole chestnuts.

I always want these.

Do you?

Yeah.

You always buy them.

Always buy them.

And then you never do anything with them.

And then never do anything with them.

Famously best roasted on an open fire.

Yes.

As the old recipe has it.

Yes.

But what would you do with a chestnut?

Chestnut.

Well, you can put them in lots of things.

So this packet, if you're watching, is like sort of they're done?

They're basically cooked already.

So that's an easy win if you don't want to cook them.

So you can put them in soups.

You can put them with chicken.

You can put them in loads of things.

You know, they're a great little seasoning.

Or you can roast them like this.

But the secret is soak them first.

Mm-hmm.

So they sort of get softer and then roast them in the oven with a little bit of oil and some salt and then just crack them and then fresh chestnuts.

They're great in salads.

You could do a lovely pumpkin kale salad with some fresh chestnuts roasted there.

Or you can even do them in lovely soups as well.

Add them as a little finishing garnish.

And those with the sprout maybe on Christmas.

These are perfect for sprouts Christmas Day because they're already done.

All you need to do is crumble them in at the end.

So they're all done.

You can open them.

Can I open these?

Yeah, of course you can.

Yeah.

Yeah, because I think it's quite nice with a sprout.

Yeah, love a chestnut with a sprout.

You can have these sweet as well.

You can put them in a little bit of honey and a little bit of sugar and butter, and you can have them as part of sweet desserts.

Well, thank you for your chestnut guidance.

Should we get Millie Bobby Brown in?

Let's do it.

Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas.

Thank you.

It's a Christmas dish.

I love that enthusiasm.

Yeah, it's happened.

You're welcome.

Take a seat over here.

Oh my goodness.

Welcome.

This is an honor to be here, you guys.

I love this podcast.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for having me.

It smells really good in here.

It does.

I smelled it from downstairs and I was like, no.

Yeah, it's always good when you can smell it outside.

Love.

We are kicking off our Christmas dish celebrations.

We do.

We have a tree, we have movie stars.

We do.

Yeah, with a real life bang.

So a round of applause, please, for the one and only Millie Bobby Brown is here everybody.

Hello.

Hello.

It was genuine enthusiasm when you walked through.

Day after Halloween.

Oh, correct answer.

Yeah, November 1st.

November 1st?

Yeah.

I think go for it.

Because I go really big on Halloween too.

So like the day after Halloween, it's like...

deflating the giant skeleton out my house and uplifting this huge 20-foot tree.

So it's hard.

It's a big day for us.

Huge day.

Yeah, I'm fully on board now.

I'm ready.

I'm like organs blazing.

I went into Harrods yesterday and it was like...

Have a holiday.

And I was like, I'm getting all the makeup products.

I was like, I'm here for this.

We are starting with the Shirley Temple.

Cheers.

Cheers.

And welcome.

And it feels Christmassy.

It was Christmas fuller.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Yeah.

This is a very nostalgic drink for me because I used to have to go to a bunch of award shows as a child.

And...

I was quite short and everybody was really tall above me.

And I'd go up to the bar and I'd be like, one Shirley Temple with extra cherries.

So it's a really nostalgic drink.

Actually, I don't drink alcohol.

So when I go to a bar, Jake's like, are you trying to celebrate tonight?

I'm like, yeah.

He's like, one Shirley Temple.

One Shirley Temple, straight up.

No, straight up on the rocks.

Straight up.

Now, Millie, you came in here singing Mariah Carey earlier on, who you are actual real life friends with, which at this time of year, I mean, it must be nice 12 months a year, but this time of year, it must really come into its own.

This is like being friends with Father Christmas.

It's actually probably better.

God, yeah, exactly.

Better, a better look.

You know what?

I love, all of my favorite artists have like one really good Christmas song.

Like, I love Ariana.

Like, I'm...

I love all of, even I think my father-in-law has like a hit Christmas song.

I love it.

I'm like here for it.

Actually, I think I need to make one now.

Yeah, I think it should be 11 themed, kind of spooky Christmas.

Yes.

Okay, I'll let you guys know once I'm on the press tour for that song, for that single.

Come back, please, for your spooky Christmas songs.

Before we took into our delicious pasta, which we're going to have today, we always like to go through our likes and dislikes with our guests.

And your loves were so excellent, so brilliant.

I felt scared, throwing all of it down, because I was like, it's just so much... You have to be really honest with yourself.

I sat there, I was at lunch with my husband yesterday,

And I was like, what do I like?

Like, what do I always order?

So it was actually quite a cathartic text I sent of all my likes and dislikes.

Were you shocked at any of them?

No, it was very up my street and very up our street, Ange, I feel.

Your loves.

Steak tartare, my favorite way to eat a steak.

Prefer it than cooked.

Potato gratin, chicken palm, penne alla vodka, prosciutto, oysters, salted artichokes, roasted broccoli, raw baby, specifically, baby carrots.

Yes, yes.

Do you know what?

I've actually, over the years, I've said I love carrots and obviously it's become a meme and Wallace and Gromit has been brought into it, which I didn't think was needed.

But truly, I feel...

I truly feel anxiety and baby carrots might be hand in hand.

I find myself using carrots when I'm thinking or procrastinating about something.

So it's just like the act of like...

Chew it, and then I eat the whole bowl of carrots.

I'm like, oh wait, I've finally gotten to my decision, so maybe they're a part of my process.

They're a process.

Is that something you ate as a kid, do you think?

My mum only ate raw carrots when she was pregnant with me.

Oh.

Which is kind of strange.

You're channeling the womb.

Yeah, maybe I am channeling the womb.

I love baby carrots and I just have said it once in one interview and now it's become a huge part of my career.

Yeah, it must happen all the time.

Would you like one now?

Here we go.

I see it all the time.

I saw the other day like…

I'm obsessed.

Bailey did an interview and he mentioned he liked Lego.

Yeah.

And then I saw every single thing he's done since people bring him Lego.

And he's just been like, I just said it once.

Literally said it once.

And also like my child, I started...

this process when I was 10, this career.

And now people read stuff back to me that I said when I was 10 or 11.

And I'm like, I can't believe I said that out loud.

One, two, like a journalist wrote it down.

And now it's repeated to me at 21.

And I'm like,

Oh, my God, I can't believe I said that.

But I'm sorry, how?

No, you were 10.

Yeah.

Give you a break.

I know.

Can they not think of something original?

I know, that seems ridiculous.

Imagine having things quoted back to you, said at 10.

I mean, that's insane.

You're like, guys, I was 10.

You sounded like an idiot.

Yeah, I was a child.

I was like, the earth is flat.

Everyone was like, okay, somebody take her phone off the path.

Another of your loves, a great love of ours as well, you also love all curries.

Yes.

How is, because I always feel like a curry in the UK.

Very different.

Very different.

Yeah.

So is a Chinese, by the way.

Yes.

Your love's continued.

You also love paella, roast dinner, chili hot dogs, chicken tenders, hot wings, chicken stew, loaded French fries, baked beans, in a jacket potato with cheese.

You can tell my metabolism is quite fast.

Yeah, correct.

It will slow down at some point.

These are all yeses.

These are all yeses.

One arrived with three exclamation marks.

That was olives.

Love them.

Which you trained yourself to love.

Yeah.

Me too.

Really?

Yeah.

Why did you want to like olives?

I'd be very intrigued to know.

It's the exact same thing for me.

So when I get to a restaurant, I'm always really hungry.

I'm not somebody who...

eats when they're peckish.

I eat when I'm starving.

So we get to a restaurant and they would always put olives and almonds and I love almonds and I ate all the canapes immediately.

And then the olives I don't touch and I was like, I could eat them and immediately get instant satisfaction.

So, my husband loves a martini, so I would take the olive and I would just power through.

And I'm like, come on, I have to like it.

Sustenance.

Exactly.

And then I just grew to just be like, oh my God, I'm obsessed to the point now where I buy jars of cold olives in my fridge and...

I go through them all the time.

Did you always like them?

I always like them.

You always like them.

Yeah, Italian.

Yeah.

Oh, and also I like the bitterness.

Anchovies, olives, garlic.

Salty.

I love anchovies.

Yeah, that's it.

I always thought they were quite glamorous.

Yeah, they are.

They are.

Oh my God, I'm starving.

I'll have an olive.

Absolutely starving.

I remember Max and Susanna had them on Brookside.

Oh, there you go.

That was my employment.

A fight of sophistication.

Yeah.

What is this?

Yeah, Brookside.

Do you remember Brookside?

No, Brookside must have ended...

When you were born, probably.

Yeah.

Channel 4 Soap, set in Liverpool.

I can't believe I'm experiencing Brookside views.

And Brookside was like...

So in a close, wasn't it?

In a close, yeah.

And then Max and Susanna were like posh.

They had like a chic black Volvo Volvo.

And they'd have like a glass of white wine and they'd have olives.

And they had like a black kitchen.

I don't know, I always thought they were posh.

Maybe they weren't posh.

They were posh to me.

They were considered posh to everyone in the close.

So I was always like, oh, Max and Susanna, olives.

Noted.

You also love a turkey sandwich.

Very seasonal.

You love a cup of tea, a Shirley Temple or a ginger beer.

The nose, always like the nose.

Not too many nose.

The big nose though that we did have was couscous and quinoa.

Is that sort of a texture thing?

It's just to me, it's like, it's pointless.

Right.

It's so useless to me.

Like, I can't.

And if that's on my plate, I just won't eat it.

Because it's just like, even if I had this, it's still not giving me anything.

And you could hit me back with a bunch of health benefits.

But like, it's not going to make me feel full.

I'm going to feel nauseous after.

So it's never worth it.

And it's always on a plane.

And it's always cold.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah, it's not good cold.

It's never prepared well.

Yeah, yeah.

I don't think it's the best salad.

Do you think you could make a nice dish?

Could you change my perspective?

I think you'd have to.

Do you eat meat?

I do.

So I think you'd have to have it in the proper way of a tagine and like a slow-cooked lamb leg with apricots and spices and stuff like that.

Soaked in animal fat.

Soaked in the juices.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Soaked in an animal.

I think that's the way.

For couscous, for sure.

Yeah, then you're like, yum.

Yeah.

Yeah, I think that's the way, yeah.

I think I could eat that if you rendered it in lamb fat.

Delicious menu.

Why are you talking about lamb fat?

Delicious menu.

Also, it's a no to cake.

We're not cakey.

No?

No.

What about birthday cake?

No cake.

No cake.

Like, have never been interested in cake.

I do like sweet stuff, like...

But I don't like cupcakes, I don't like cake.

My husband likes birthday cake, and he likes it to be two to three days old.

Oh.

Oh!

Oh!

It's like, where it's like, the icing is still soft, but it's crackly at the top.

I don't know if you guys know what I'm talking about.

It's such a strange thing.

Like, if I were to get him a surprise birthday cake, I wouldn't give it to him until it's two to three days old.

Because that's the way he likes it.

That's the way he likes it.

Here's your old birthday cake.

Exactly.

Whereas I don't like cake at all.

Even though it kind of looks...

I love brownies.

That's kind of what I would opt for.

But it'd have to be fudgy.

I don't like cake-like texture.

Yeah, okay.

What about on your birthday?

Do people still present you with birthday cakes?

Yep.

Yep, and you're just like... Oh my God!

Oh, I love it.

Well, now after they've listened to this...

Exactly.

Hopefully everybody takes the hint.

Okay.

I really like brownies.

That's kind of like a cookie skillet.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, where it's just barely cooked.

Yeah, yes.

You're not going to die.

I think they're quite risky, though, because it can be delicious, delicious, delicious, and then you eat too much.

And you feel sick.

Yes, I know.

That's the other night I...

Gluttony.

I was in LA and it was right after my premiere and I was like, oh, I could really have this cookie dough, this edible cookie dough.

And I went downstairs and I had the whole bag while I was watching this documentary.

And Jake was like, Mel, I feel like you're going to feel sick in a minute.

And I'm like...

Don't even look at me.

You don't even know me.

Ate the whole bag.

I was like, oh, my God, Jake.

Oh, my God, Jake.

Oh, my hair bag.

Oh, my hair bag.

I was just like, oh, this is terrible.

It's like, it's addicting.

Yeah, it is addicting.

And there's something, must be something in it that's very Moorish.

100%.

But there's no warning sign.

No warning.

There's no like, you might feel sick.

I had it with my sister at the weekend and I was like, I think something's wrong.

And she was like, yeah, you've overate that.

Yeah, you.

Yeah, I was like, I feel weird.

I feel weird.

I feel weird.

Well, you also found a few other things that you didn't give us.

Okay.

Licorice, yay or nay?

No, I don't like licorice.

You don't like licorice?

Okay, that's a no.

Where did you stand on coconut?

Was that a yay or a nay?

Oh, I don't like coconut.

The other night I had this no-grownie.

Oh, yes.

And it had coconut elements in it.

And I was like, I won't say no to this, but like a coconut cake?

A step too far.

A step too far.

Or like a coconut curry.

I don't like that either.

Whereas I like all curries, but I don't like coconut curry.

No coconuts.

What is your stand on taking photos of food for Instagram?

Oh, I've said this publicly and I stand by it.

Instagram does not eat fast.

The other day was like, we're in a restaurant and this woman was just taking a picture of her food and I was like...

She must be some kind of food vlogger or something because she was capturing this food in ways I didn't.

She was like, and there were angles.

And I'm just staring at her.

And Jake's like, Millie, stop staring.

She's like, look at her.

Her food is on her plate.

Eat it.

And she's taking angles and putting filters and I can see what she's doing.

And I'm like, babe, eat your food.

It's been just in too long.

And as much as I really appreciate people making their little Instagram or whatever you need to do for your account,

To me, it's never going to make me want to go to that place.

I don't know why.

Seeing something doesn't make me go, I'm going to go to that restaurant.

However, the outside of the establishment...

I base off if I'm going to eat.

Oh, what, like font?

Font, yeah.

Title, ground, perhaps.

I like to, if I'm like, oh, Jake's like, let's Uber Eats this.

I'm like, let me just Google the outside.

Oh, on a takeaway, 100%.

Yes, because it's too risky.

100%.

It's too risky.

Because it's just faceless.

Yeah, yeah.

I want to see it.

Angela, I know you're going to have strong thoughts on taking pictures of food.

Yeah, I mean, you're like my husband.

He hates it.

I mean, he cooks as well, and he just can't deal with it when people do that because it's just like such a waste.

Just eat it.

Just eat the food and do it.

Yeah, it has something to do with, I think, my viewpoint on being present.

I think that's the real thing of it.

You know, it's less about like, I actually, sure, like take pictures of your food, whatever.

But for me, it's like, I'm somebody who tries to stay off my phone.

I don't have social media.

I'm somebody who likes to be as present as possible.

So when I see people doing that and their husbands are like kind of waiting for the woman to take the shot, I'm like, babe, look up.

Like your man's is there.

And he's waiting to have his food with you.

So that's probably more my stand on it.

We are going to have penne a la vodka today, which is one of your favorites.

But what do you like to make at home?

What are some of your favorite things you like to make for the family?

I make a roast in it every Sunday.

Yes, love that.

I live next to my parents, so I just bring all my siblings over.

I have my nephew over, and we have a big Sunday roast.

And honestly, I've got to say, my roast in a smack.

Oh, yeah, love, love.

So does it stress you out, or is it something that you like to do?

No, I love to do it.

And what about Christmas?

Because we were saying it's funny you can make a roast all year.

Yep.

And be like, cool, do a roast, bring whoever.

And then on Christmas Day, it changes.

Yep.

People get stressed.

People get stressed.

People get stressed.

One year, my mum, she was making a roast dinner and there was stuffing and she takes it out the oven and it falls on the floor.

Stuffing goes everywhere.

The dish breaks and she goes, well, kids, life's a bitch and then you die.

And I was like, right, mum.

It's your mum, Angela.

I love your mum already.

And so we all just got the stuffing, put it back on the plate and had it for dinner.

And I do agree there must be quite a lot of pressure because she kind of looked at us like, yeah, I'm over it.

Wow, wow, wow.

Thank you.

Do you like this?

Oh, yeah, love.

Okay, good.

We're doing this today because this is inspired by a memorable meal you had with your husband.

I believe this is the...

I wasn't there.

I just read it on the internet.

You were there?

I served you this.

Oh, my God.

On your first date, but this is what you had on your first date.

Well, we had a very similar, it's a vodka pasta and then vodka lobster.

And it's a place that we went to on our first date.

And I was kind of falling head over heels for him over this meal.

And now we go back all the time.

Yeah, it's a very nostalgic meal.

Do you remember what you had with Neil on your first date?

First, a proper date, we went to a Thai restaurant.

No, a Vietnamese restaurant, Viet Grill, that was down in Kingston.

Yeah, I love Viet Grill.

I love Viet Grill.

And another chef ended up coming, was very drunk that night.

On the day?

Yeah, then sat down with us.

He won't mind me saying, Jeremy Lee, eat away, we get cold.

And Jeremy sat down and goes, darling, I'm going to sit with you.

And he brought him and his friends and everything.

And Neil was just in shell shock.

It was quite loud, Jeremy.

And Neil's loud, but Jeremy's another level.

And he walked out and he said, who was that?

I said, that was Jeremy Lee.

He goes, he's all right.

And I said, so are you.

If you can take that.

This will work.

She's got riz.

That's riz right there.

So are you.

But that is quite good.

A good test if you can handle your loudest friends.

Yeah, exactly.

In a mad restaurant, I walk out and think, this is my first proper date and this is what's happened.

I actually remember when I'd met Mish, and I went on holiday, and then I was chatting to him on holiday about going for dinner, and he said, well, let's go for dinner when you get back off holiday.

And I said, okay, and it was our first proper date.

And I said, do you know Premier, this restaurant that I love?

And he was like, yeah, I do.

So I was like, good sign.

Good sign.

Good sign.

Yeah, so we went there.

It's all about the signs, isn't it?

Yeah, good sign.

It really is.

Well, this is delicious, Angela.

Pleasure.

This is amazing.

This is really good.

Should we run through how you did this?

I have to say that it smells so good.

The tomatoes and the garlic.

And I noticed the sort of ferocity in how you cook this.

Yeah, it's a quick sauce.

No, but it was like, it was really, it was giving lava.

It was...

It was really bubbling up there.

We were under pressure.

So you've got basically butter in a pan.

Let that melt and start to bubble.

Add your garlic and cook that till it's slightly coloured.

You don't want it burnt, but slightly coloured.

Add your tomato puree.

Cook that for a couple of minutes till it slightly separates from the oil.

Then your tinned tomatoes that are already chopped down.

And then you cook that for about five minutes.

So quite a reasonable heat.

and then you're going to add most of your vodka, it's about 80 ml, reserve about a couple of spoons, add your double cream, and then let that finish the sauce.

And then once you've cooked your pasta, add that into it, some parmesan, basil, and the last bit of vodka.

And what does the vodka do?

I think it smooths it out, takes away a bit of the acidity from the tomatoes, and gives it that heat without putting chili in.

There's so many tomato sauces, all chili, chili, chili, because I think the vodka gives it that little bit of heat.

It's so good.

Yeah.

It's really good.

And the vodka, is that an Italian dish?

Is that a New York dish?

New Yorker.

New York.

Really?

I think it's all American Italians in New York that sort of adapted this dish.

So basically my now family.

Yeah, exactly.

The Bon Jovis.

The Bon Jovis invented it.

Basically they invented it.

I blame John, really.

Yeah.

I mean, to be fair.

It's John.

It's John.

It's John.

Let's call it John Pasta.

Yeah.

And what's the wine pairing, Ange?

What would you recommend?

So we've got a lovely Italian wine, a Colli Massari Rosso, and it has notes of ripe fruits and spices with a dense yet soft structure, fine tannin, and yet fresh acidity on the finish.

Mmm, delicious.

Sounds nice, doesn't it?

That's what you want with a tomato pasta, for sure.

So you had pasta at your wedding?

Yeah.

Yeah, which, respect.

Thank you.

Having pasta at the wedding.

I also heard at the wedding that there was a dance routine.

I grew up doing so many dance routines at pretty much any family gathering.

So when Jake proposed, I was like, we have to learn a dance routine.

We'll remember it forever.

And when the song comes on when we're 80, we're going to remember the dance.

It's just going to be so special for us.

So he was like, okay.

So I got us dance lessons, and originally we were going to do Dirty Dancing, and I was like, oh my God, if you get that list wrong.

Yeah, the pressure.

It's too much.

So we ended up going for, my favorite movie is Grease 2.

Don't come at me.

LAUGHTER

No, I think Grease 2 is more respected.

No, it's not.

Grease 1, Grease 2.

My friend Jills loves Grease 2. Who is Jill and where is she?

We'll get Jills down here now.

Wait, is Grease 2 bad?

It's not bad.

It's just people love one.

Right.

So we did a grease medley of songs.

It was probably like a six minute dance.

Wow.

People were like, oh my God.

You can tell she's an actor.

I was like, summer days.

It was so much fun.

Singing and dancing.

No, no, no.

If I was singing, that would be an act.

Somebody might send her home.

No, it was amazing.

And then...

Literally, we did our six-minute dance and then Ray performed.

Oh, wow.

Which was amazing.

And she performed my dad and I's daddy-daughter dance.

And she did all Frank Sinatra.

Oh, really?

It was amazing.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

I love that you did that.

Yeah, I think that's brilliant.

And now, and then the other night, Jake and I were at like a bar and it was like, you're the one that I want.

And Jake just goes right into it.

And I was like...

It was so cute!

He was like, let's do it.

And I was like, in the middle of the spot.

Yes, let's go.

I have 40 farm animals.

We have cows and chickens and horses and ponies and goats and sheep.

You'd trump a zoo of the animals that you've got going on.

But I love you and I've loved you since two Christmases ago.

Yeah, love that sort of thing.

Love that, get me some popcorn.

Love that sort of thing.

Only on Netflix.

Only on Netflix.

And?

Only on Netflix.

No, don't do it like you're selling it.

We need to talk about Strange Things.

Because the end of Strange Things is now in sight.

Season five, the finale begins tomorrow.

So it's kind of like Stranger Things Eve if you're listening to this on the Wednesday when this comes out.

Volume one.

Volume one.

Volume one, yes.

Only on Netflix.

Only on Netflix.

And?

Only on Netflix.

No, do it like you're selling it.

Go on.

Do it like you're selling it.

Go on.

So, Stranger Things, live tomorrow, only on Netflix.

Yeah.

That was pretty amazing.

That was good.

That was good.

That was good.

I wanted to see if you could take us back.

And I was wondering on the way in this morning if you could remember, like, day one on set.

I remember...

Going in the first day, but I wasn't working.

I was going in to meet the kids.

I was going in for school and to shave my hair off.

Oh, yes.

Cool.

Yeah, just a regular day.

Cool day.

I wasn't nervous.

I was nervous to meet the kids, of course, because, like, you have to be friends with them, you know?

And I didn't go to school, so I was already, like...

I was like, conversation with children, don't know how to do it.

So I met them and immediately loved them.

Met, you know, our teacher and we went right into school.

And I went into school for the first like two hours and then they were like, all right, Minnie, ready to go?

And so I went up and I walked up this big hill and I sat down and they put my hair in like eight different pigtails and they just cut it all off and then they shaved it.

Wow.

And then the directors were there and they were filming it.

And then I was like, my mom was quite emotional.

Because I was like my mom's real life dolly.

So she was like, I can't put your hair on pigtails anymore.

And my dad didn't care.

But my mom was like, my mom just really wanted me to be sure of it.

You know, like, because my mom and I are besties.

And so if I were like to be like, oh, my God, mom, I really regret doing that.

She would have, you know, had to help me.

And then I shaved it all off and then they were like, give us an 11 look.

And I was like, what does that even mean?

They're like, use your powers.

And I just like looked into the little iPhone camera and just did that.

So that's where that originated from.

That's how I kind of figured out what Elle does.

And you must have like, you know, so many memories of it, you know, going through the past 11 years or so.

Do you have any sort of formative memories that when you think of the show, already fond memories that you are always like, oh, that was a wonderful moment or a highlight that you always have taken back to maybe on or off set even?

In season two, my best friend Noah Schnapp, who plays Will Byers on the show, we were in school together and he was sat on this chair and he like fell into like the opening of the chair.

And then he fully got stuck.

And my 11-year-old brain was like, I'm going to go live.

So I went live on Instagram and filmed the whole thing.

And he was stuck in this chair for six,

And he's starting to panic.

And I'm starting to laugh the more he panics.

And the teacher got involved.

And just to this day, just makes me laugh.

And he always is like, Millie, why do you have to bring that up?

And I'm like, if you're bored and you don't have anything to do, please Google the live stream.

And Noah would be like, wait, Millie, help me.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

I've been falling over the school trailer.

Also, another Noah Schnapp classic.

We had just won our first award, and Game of Thrones had been sweeping the awards season, and we finally won.

And Noah, he was again sat next to me, freaked out, knocked over a huge glass of Coke, and it went all over my red dress, and I was like...

Are you joking me?

And to this day, it's like in a plastic bag and it's just got this beautiful Giorgio Armani custom red dress and it's just got this huge Coca-Cola stain.

But it's just, it's him.

And we've just, yeah, most of my memories have been so...

tied to him.

We did all these music videos as kids together, we TP'd our classrooms, we hid all of our teachers' computers.

I mean, now looking back, we were heads, really.

It must be so emotional, the end now, you know, the rap part, you know, how do you all feel?

I know I felt like really emotional.

My last day was just, I was like, oh, I'm not going to cry.

I'm like, I'll be okay.

Like I'm quite, I'm quite an emotional person.

But when things, it was really hyped up to be so emotional.

And I was kind of like, maybe I won't be.

And the night before I thought, right, I'm going to get it out all now.

So I sat on my sofa and I put on all these edits of the show, like on YouTube.

And I sat there and I cried for about three hours.

And then Jake came down and was like, what the f***?

are you doing and I was just watching myself like with my shaved head and then he was like right come to bed and I went to bed and the next morning I woke up and I drove to set I was like I'm fine I'm fine I'm fine went into the makeup trailer I was like I'm fine and then I walked onto like stepped onto set the studio it was probably 9am and I just burst out crying and everybody was like I think I was like the first actor to come in in the morning crying and

And everybody was just like, it's going to be a hard day to the point where we really couldn't get through some of the scenes.

It was really, yeah, really emotional.

What a show to be part of.

Massive congratulations.

Thank you.

It's also the season for a festive movie.

Do you have a go-to?

Do you like a Christmas film?

I love Christmas movies.

I like really rubbish ones.

Yeah.

Like what?

Like Hallmark?

Yes.

You know, like when you go through our next channel 520.

But I love you and I've loved you since two Christmases ago.

Yeah, love that sort of thing.

Love that, get me some popcorn.

Love that sort of thing.

Well, we thought we could go through the sort of Hallmark genre of Christmas films.

Love.

I would love you to let us know, Millie, if these are real films or fake.

True or false, do these films exist?

Okay.

Okay.

First up, Operation Turkey.

That can't be real.

Absolutely unreal.

Yeah, correct, correct.

I'm like, how is that funny?

No, but I'd be interested in making it if you're watching people at Netflix.

Yeah.

It's Operation Turkey.

A shoe addict's Christmas.

That's real.

That is real!

I feel like that's insane that I just instinctually was like, no, somebody's invested in that.

A shoe addict's Christmas.

That is Noelle's life stops when her boyfriend broke up with her on Christmas Eve three years ago.

A handsome fireman moves in above her.

She gets locked in work in a department store all alone and he comes in and saves her.

Hot.

Yeah.

Wood green light.

Yes, yes, yes.

It's actually the next thing I'm doing.

Yeah, actually it's from a shoe addict's Christmas too.

Ange, do you want to run through one?

What about this one?

Never kiss a man in a Christmas sweater.

No.

No.

No.

Well, actually, you're wrong.

It's true.

It's true.

Never Kiss a Man.

Now, yeah.

It sounds like a song.

It does, doesn't it?

Never kiss a man.

We immediately go into Mariah.

A Royal Corgi Christmas.

I'm going to say it's not real.

It's real.

You can watch it.

You are welcome.

Only on Netflix?

Only not on Netflix.

There's so many that are just nuts, aren't there?

Final one.

What about Gingerbread Miracle?

Okay, that's not real.

It's true.

It's real.

I need to up your game.

This is a joke.

No, well, it may well be.

It's a movie.

I love these films.

That's my favourite one, Millie.

Yeah, I love these.

So that one's about Maya, who's a freelance attorney.

She's had a minor setback.

Right.

You know what we should have done?

Pitch these to you.

Yes.

And your agent.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So Maya's a freelance attorney.

Okay.

You're Maya.

She's had a minor setback.

She's been living in the apartment above her parents' garage, nightmare, and using a bakery as an unofficial office for the past couple of years.

Okay.

And then there's a gingerbread miracle.

Yeah.

And it doesn't tell you what it is.

No, that's the twist.

Can't give the plot away.

No.

It's crucial.

I would read this and kind of attach myself.

Yeah.

She's attached.

I'm attached to the project, but I haven't made my mind up.

No, TBC.

Yeah.

I love all those.

Yeah.

Come on.

This is a nice bit that we want to talk to you about because we know that you love animals.

Yeah.

We love our dogs.

We do.

But you really trump us on the animal front.

I do.

I trump most people.

Yeah, you trump a zoo of the animals that you have got going on because I've got two rescue dogs and she's got two dogs as well.

But run us through the dogs.

Ten?

Is it ten?

Ten.

Ten, yes.

Ten.

I have my three dogs.

They're my big dogs and they spend most of the days outside because they're big dogs and they love it.

I mean, I live on a farm, so they just run and roam and I have 40 farm animals.

What are the other animals on the farm?

We have cows and chickens and horses and ponies and goats and sheep.

I raise them all from babies.

So everybody that's come onto the farm really was in my bed at some point.

Yeah, slept with me.

Wow.

The only ones that I didn't bottle feed was my horse, because he was a rescue, and my ponies are rescues.

They were left on the side of the street, so they were like, I think about three or four.

And then my animals.

So I have my dog, Winnie, who's my baby.

She's pedigree, and so she knows it.

Then I have my rescue dog, Dorothy.

I have Jimmy.

I have Agnes.

I have...

I'm just thinking Barbie, Max, Marley.

Those are my big three dogs.

Then I have Rigby, and then we have Pookie and Juno.

Wow.

So those are my babies, and Pookie's a white chihuahua, and he's a rescue.

And they're just, yeah, my babies.

And do they all get on?

Do they all follow in a pack?

They all get along.

Yeah.

It is very much herd mentality.

It's really hard to train them.

Because they're kind of like, well, if she's doing that, I'm going to go and piss on the wall.

So that's kind of what they do.

And then I have four cats, four rescue cats.

Well, I had about 23 in my house at one point.

I found them all homes.

And do you get like eggs from the chickens?

I have eggs from the chickens.

I'm actually starting a bee farm soon, which I'm really excited about.

And then I run a rescue.

So that's where I have 23 dogs, foster dogs, and then about 10 puppies.

So I have two separate buildings where I keep them all.

And then I've found over 350 dogs' homes.

Wow.

That is amazing.

It really is.

You are welcome anytime.

To win the Waitrose goodie bag, there's just one final question.

No, no.

A swan would have been.

Millie the swan.

Millie the swan.

But that's just far too regal for me.

Yeah.

Yeah, it doesn't suit me.

I don't mind a duck.

No, but I think sort of Millie like a tomcat.

You would be, yeah.

Because you're the little rebellious cat.
