When Emma last appeared on the show, Jordan seemed to invite her and her husband to take part in some adult activity with her and her husband. I've not been able to sleep since. John Barrowman, who stars in Torchwood and The Mighty Boosh also appear - one of whom looks like a Freddie Mercury...

Emma: (On keeping her Oscars in the toilet) They look far too outré anywhere else. They're great big, gold, shiny things. They're up there tarnishing quietly along with everything else I own, including my body. It does give people the opportunity to pick them up and play with them in privacy rather than having to say, "Can I hold that?" You'd have to come to my house. There's no posh space. Every space is kind of a family space. I'm surprised my daughter hasn't used them for nefarious purposes actually. They're heavy.
(edit)
Emma: (On putting on the make up for the character Nanny McPhee) This look took an upsettingly short time to achieve. It took longer to get dressed up for bloody Sense and Sensibility.
(edit)
Emma: I was brought up by very witty people who were dealing with quite difficult things - disease and death... I was brought up by people who tended to giggle at funerals.
(edit)
Emma: Having reached 40 this year, if they were going to find someone to play opposite me they'd have to exhume him.
(edit)
Emma: (On plannng a name for her and Greg's child) I've been toying with names like Winston and Clementine, but I don't think they're going to wash.
