This is a lovely, poignant interview. Stephen Gately, of Boyzone, died from a pulmonary oedema on Oct 10 2009, a few days later after this interview. This aired in 2010 but was recorded in October 2009. Olivia was said to be one of Stephen idols.
Film 4 aired his interview with Olivia as part of their Stephen Gately Ultimate Film Fanatic
programme. Stephen's a real film and TV buff, he not only asks about Grease but about the Sordid Lives TV series that Film 4 aired in the UK.
Stephen was a good interviewer and asks about interesting topics. We learn that Olivia had recently visited her old house in Cambridge, England and was given a tour around by the now owner. The house owner revealed to Olivia that they wanted to put a blue plaque on the house to commemorate Olivia having lived there until the age of 5. However, the owner didn't want everyone visiting which Olivia totally understood. Stephen points out that blue plaques are a thing in the UK and they are everywhere (ed - this is very true).
