Straight from the pages of MODE magazine, she’s more than just an Extra, it’s the one and only Ashley Jensen.

Ashley trying to learn Man in the Box is one of the top moments of the entire podcast 😂
Preach!! I'm crying
and the noise he makes when she says...
i want to talk about the wee man in the box
The funniest thing I've seen in ages
One of the top moments of the entirety of podcasts. I'm starting this clip again from the beginning.
I just laughed sooo hard at that!!!
Watching Ashley laugh is joyous
I can listen to Ashley for hours. The combination of her accent, her sense of humour and her friendliness is awesome :-)
I saw Samuel L. Jackson in a play last January. The funniest part happened in the dark just before the play when he did the announcement welcoming everyone, reminding us not to take pictures and to open candies and lozenges... Ending with "...and turn off your motherfucking phones!"
I eat a sandwich this morning. As we're sharing irrelevant, boring stories?
@@justmyster1976 I think you meant to say "I ate a sandwich this morning."
@@justmyster1976 you may have missed it but Miss Jensen spoke at length about how impressive and charismatic she had found Samuel L Jackson. I mentioned the incident at the play because I found it funny. You see, in English, it is rather unusual for the audience to be addressed with the term "motherfucking" at a Broadway theatre, especially before the show has even begun. Unusual, but at the same time, perfectly on brand for Jackson, for whom variations on the word "motherfucker" are his signature. Your misuse of the word "eat" suggests to me that English might not be your first language. On the other hand, it is clear that "snarky" is your default attitude, so much so that you wasted your own time to point out to the whole world that you hadn't been able to understand a stranger's little anecdote.
@@justmyster1976 I wouldn't say it was irrelevant, just like calling you a knobhead wouldn't be either. The last fact being very relevant I'd say.
Well I thought it was pretty amusing!
I’m so glad she’s taken over Shetland. I was worried the show was going to be ruined, but she’s the perfect cast
Shetland *is* ruined, but she didn't ruin it.
Love Ashley Jensen and Rob Brydon is just fantastic. He's a national treasure and should have his own chat show on tv. He is so much better than what we currently have. He asks interesting questions and if he interrupts with a funny aside he then steers the other person back to the question. Instead of just interrupting with something that usually isn't funny and then talking about something else so we never get to hear the end of the question like so many ego driven interviewers do.
He did used to, years ago
@@chrisf7189 Wow I have no recollection of this at all, I must have watched it at the time too. Well more Rob Brydon anywhere doing anything as far as I'm concerned!
Ashley Jensen made 'Extras'; would rewatch it time and time again for her beloved character 'Maggie'. Lovely interview Rob, Ashley seems like such a sweet person.
Rob, you really should get Ashley on WILTY 😅
I just tried really hard to do Little Man In A Box. When I regained consciousness I decided never to try again.
Small man in a box has got to be one of the finest demonstrations of vocal dexterity that has ever been or will ever be heard in this era or any other era ! it stands alone as a piece of art that will never be surpassed
Steady on
O pride myself on my Powers Of Observation and, on balance,I would say that you are a fan of that routine:)
I was late in discovering Ashley. I did watch Ugly Betty, but her character didn't really have that much to do. What made me love her was Agatha Raisin, which PBS ran for a while. I loved the physical humor and everything else she brought to the role. And she's been delightful in every interview I've seen with her. I also admired her strength when she was coping with personal tragedy.
Hope that you have watched every single episode of "Extras".
why?@@johnaron9819
Shetland grabbed my Canadian attention from the get go. Mind boggling, the serious crimes per capita.
I'd happily tolerate half an hour in a room with Rob Brydon if Ashley Jensen were there 😀
Love Ashley. Pure funny and a delight.
A joyous respite from a devastatingly gruesome world.
This show is one of things I am grateful for on this day of Thanks, here in the U.S.
I learnt to do small man in a box when I was on the toilet once. Never looked back since.
I learned at work when someone I was a bit competitive with was trying to do it and I just banged it out first try. Showed him.
She's so lovely and natural and always makes me laugh.
would love to have heard more about the time she spent with Bowie!
Ashley, you were just brilliant in Extras. ( from an American who just recently was able to watch the show )
I've always loved her work. Ashley Jensen is a gem of the British acting fraternity and a delight. I first came across her in the early 90's, she has been a delight since. Rob I really enjoyed this, thank you.
Two naturally funny people great... So easy
Amongst all his other gifts to the community as an entertainer, Rob has now provided another invaluable public service;- a crystal clear antidote for any kind of misogyny or sexism, by the simple expedient of introducing Ashley Jensen.
Excellent stuff. She was great with RG in “After Life” too.
I love Rob Brydon's interview 'technique'. I don't think anyone could feel nervous talking to him.
I listened to the podcast earlier.
I just love Ashley's voice. She is such a brilliant talented woman. And I love watching the Extras bloopers when she and Gervais show how much chemistry as a double-act they have!
The DVD extra where she was supposed to be cleaning, and them watching to see how long she would carry on, was brilliant!😂
The Dumfries accent is quite pleasant to the ear 🏴
Did not realise that I had misset Ahley laughing! What a delight !
Great viewing figures for Shetland 8 & a lot of that is down to Ashley Jensen & the incredible work of everyone, from the other cast, supporting artists, crew, writers & producers. Never easy to reinvent a series after the lead actor leaves. C'mon BBC give us another series & keep me in a job!
Rob doing "man in a box" is too fucking funny. I almost choked on my drink. And it's every f@cking time... its too mich
Thanks for this. I haven't laughed and smiled this much for ages. You both are wonderful 😊
I love Ashley Jensen! Fabulous interview!
Absolutely love Ashley! She's so funny and has a wicked personality.
I love Ashley, she is hilarious
I was watching an old episode of Rab C Nesbitt. Ashley pops up! Love her. Oor Maggie.
So funny! Can't believe Ashley hasn't done a podcast until now!
Her impression of Gervais was actually pretty good!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Ashley stop doing the little man in a box. So funny.
Thanks for that Rob!
Rob has such a relaxing voice.
What an absolute delight Ashley is.
Glorious. Both of them. Just glorious.
Love love love Ashley!!!
OOH! This is just delightful!! Thank you for posting! Two very funny, very talented people who've brought so much joy to me in so many different guises. Such a wonderful relief from all the dreadful news. Should be more of BOTH of them! xxx
Just brilliant! 😁 I've enjoyed so many of these, but I don't think anyone has made me laugh as much as Ashley did. I could spend a lot of time with her, practising the man in the box 😂 (the man in the box VOICE, for clarification!)
Best guest ever Rob! And you've had some fabulous ones.
I love her!!
That Scottish MIB was perfect.
Great session Rob...Loved it!!!
Classic What a wonderful chat to watch and listen to
Ashley you are a brilliant actress so funny but your also amazing in shetland
I was sceptical but its like youve always been on it
That was thoroughly enjoyable!
So much fun. Great rapport.
OMG that was just the best television. Ashley is just fantastic, how anything gets done when she starts laughing, I’ve no idea. Another top quality interview, thank you
She’s beautiful, love anything she’s in!
Lovely interview:)
Oh man I haven’t seen Ashley since the Extra days! Absolutely loved her always wished she was in more stuff! Hey hi from America btw
milkmaid's badge -"..easy.." 😅😂
The best, lovely Ashley Jenson.
Not much of a fan of Ashley afore this podcast ... but she is a naturally nice person .... now a fan!
Thank you!! I really enjoyed laughing aloud...made my day!!!
What a joy
Can't wait for the new show, "Celebrities in a box" :D
This was lovely. Ashley's a great guest. Much more sincere & pleasant than Robbie William's self indulgent pity party offerings.
She's adorable 😊
I loved both of you in this 😀😀😀❤️
Ashley Jensen is the most beautiful woman in the world.
Very good show Mr. Drydent, Byrond, Brydon.
Loved every minute of this and I've been a bit in love with Ashley (don't tell my wife!) since Roughnecks.
I love the man in the box thing
just delightful xx
Only seen her in "Extras". Fell in Love with her in that. She was Soooooo Great.
Who's the off camera interviewer in The Office then? It certainly sounds like her
That was so good. 🎉
brilliant loved that
That was wonderful - Man I'm a box - I thought my Speaker had broke !
Brilliant, best podcast I've found since Joe Rogan
When he said...There's our railer cracked me up 😂
Billy Connelly in a box, was awesome! I want to here Rob do that more! 🙂
She is so very likeable.
I can´t remember what I have seen her in but she is a treat.
Can't get enough of The Man in the Box.
Omg. This had me laughing so hard I almost peed my pants
Billy Connolly in a box!!! Genius.
So good
Solid gold
Are you an asthmatic?.…
rob's doc brown bleeds into his pacino :)
Come on Rob. Get Ricky in …..😊
Marvellous.. Shetland has certainly moved up a notch with Ashley J now on board. Trouble is now I cannot get the image of Ashley as a milkmaid out of my mind🙃PS
Imagine a Four In A Bed series with Rob B, Ruth Jones, Ricky G, Ashley J, Steve Coogan, Diane Morgan, Stephen Merchant, David Earl for instance….Would be fantastic 😎👌

Recapped using Tammy AI
I enjoyed listening to Steve,as you mentioned.
Did he make a cameo appearance?
That might be helpful to someone, but I can't think why someone wouldn't watch the whole thing.
@timothygraham4304
It's impossible that you couldn't think of a reason why someone wouldn't watch the whole thing.
@@timothygraham4304Well, if you ask me for a straight answer, then I shall say that, as far as I can see, looking at it by and large, taking one thing with another in terms of thought processes, then, in the final analysis, it is probably true to say, that at the end of the day, in general terms, you would probably find that, not to put too fine a point on it, there probably wasn't very much in the argument od for watching the whole video or against it, one way or the other. As far as one can see, at this stage.

Thank goodness Ashley Jenson is using her original accent (It would be over for her if she hadn’t kept her original accent). I remember her is “Down among the Big Boys”. and I still think this was her best performance. 🏴👍
Lovely.
'the little opening....' nice self edit, Rob
Ashley Jensen is just so pleasant. She is like hot coco personified.
21:31 the wisdom of a true master
I remember Freddie Star could do the man in a box, would've been great to get them together, two men in boxes.
I loved The CLass, by the way.
This would be so much better if Rob didn't keep interrupting or cutting off the end of Ashley's stories
20:53 😂😂😂
Rob only wants to talk about Billy so he can pull out an impression! 😂😂
Rob only lives to pull out impressions 😂
Did you ever work with Ronnie Corbett?
she did the impression of him?
16:43 That's the best Ricky impression ever!
Next week - Brydon & Man in a box
National treasures
Hilarious.
Ashley can charm anyone and doesn't realize it.
❤
