  • An interview with Pat Phoenix on Wogan from Friday 27 June 1986. This interview is quite sad as it was possibly Pat's final ever television interview. She passed away 3 months later on 17 September after a brave battle fighting lung cancer.
    Derek Jameson was guest hosting in place of Terry Wogan. A big thank you to the person who sent me this and asked me to upload it for them.

    I remember seeing her in a wheelchair in the papers saying her cancer was terminal. I was shocked and felt sorry for her. . I will always remember her. I was 17 at the time and she died on my 18th birthday. Very sad and brave to think she knew she dying but did the interview and kept it quiet. God rest her soul.

    Lovely interview. I could listen to her all day, she's like my gran's friend. But bless Jamieson he keeps interrupting her. Interviewers that keep interrupting fail to allow the true essence of a star through. Love ya Pat. X

    When he asks if she would ever go back to Coronation Street, she would have known then that she couldn't even if she wanted as she knew what was coming for her even then. Such a great talent :(

    Also, according to various reports PP knew in March 1986 that she had lung cancer, apparently undergoing treatment over the summer. So she was quite ill by this point (not that you’d really know). I even wonder at 7:20 when her face momentarily falls that she realises this might be her last time before an audience

    • @brendonmcmorrow3886
      @brendonmcmorrow3886 3 роки тому +7

      You are right. I guess she may have known at this point that the treatment was unlikely to work. Such a shame to lose such an interesting actress at an age when the world of character acting was about to open up. I could easily think of Pat being in one of Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads monologues. So very sad.

      I noticed that too; all tits and teeth while she knew the cameras were still on her and then that momentary look of profound sadness. That in itself is testament to how showbiz she was. The show must always go on.

    From what I can make out in her Wikipedia entry, she probably knew her condition was terminal when she did this interview, but hid it from everyone. At the very least she knew she had lung cancer.
