Hello and welcome to Happy Place. I'm Fern Cotton and today, oh, it's a cracker. I'm chatting to Miriam Margulies.

We only have one life. That's the terrible truth. I don't believe in reincarnation. I want people to love life and love lust and sex, but I want them to take life seriously as well.

I'm here and now and I must make it work and do the best I can.

I think it'd be entirely fair to say Miriam is a national treasure. She's played Professor Sprout in Harry Potter, Mother Milderid in Call of Midwife, and one of my favourites, the Nanny in Romeo and Juliet.

Juliet!

It's the best, the best, but she's also adored for her no-holds-barred Frankopiniens and beliefs, and their sentiments that have formed through the numerous and varied life experiences she's now written about in her completely riotous memoir, which is the most fun book to read at the age of 80.

I think you're all in for a real treat today, guys.

At Miss 80's Benz, we're always finding new ways to do things, new ways to excite through innovation.

How can I help? Through luxury and comfort, like adjusting the ambient lighting.

Okay, I'm changing the car.

This episode is brought to you by Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 Pro.

I've been out walking listening to lots of music recently. I've been listening to lots of the Beatles, a firm favourite always.

Lots of Ludovico in Audi, because that just keeps me very calm and gives me really good headspace when I don't want to listen to lyrics or words, just hearing Ludovico.

Tink on the old Iveries is the dream.

And if you're as obsessed with beautiful music and melodies as I am, you'll understand that I have to listen with earbuds that guarantee a gorgeously crisp listening experience.

I want unmistakable clarity, and that's exactly what the Galaxy Buds 2 Pro provide.

I obviously love listening to music, but I also have to have earbuds in a lot for work.

So my hardworking ears are incredibly grateful that these particular buds are created for absolute comfort.

Oh, they just slot in those ears beautifully. They'll feel as snug at the end of a lung-hall flyer as they do at the start of a quick video call.

Oh, and they have active noise canceling too, something that you might appreciate if your house is as noisy as mine.
