As a movie enthusiast who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of entertainment, I find myself captivated by the intimate and engaging conversation between Jessie Ware and her mother Lennie, as they discuss their lives and loves on TopMob.
As a devoted admirer, I’d rephrase it like this: In an intimate chat with TopMob, I (Jessie Ware) along with my mother Lennie, share our thoughts from our beloved sofa, expressing our growing disenchantment with the music industry and the captivating world of podcasting.
What’s the view from your sofa?
Lennie: My fireplace, a fragrant candle, a spacious mirror, an exquisite artwork by Frank Bowling (a piece my kids gifted to me), and not forgetting our feline friend. In one corner, you’ll find a television.
Jessie: It’s a tiny TV, though, for someone who watches so much telly.
What have you enjoyed on TV recently?
Jessie: As a family, we tune into Strictly and Gladiators on the living room TV every Saturday night. However, my preferred spot to watch television is quite sadly solitary – in bed, under the blankets, using a laptop. This habit drives my husband up the wall since we’ve been enjoying Shōgun, which should ideally be watched on a larger screen due to its visually impressive nature.
Lennie: I’ve wrapped up season 2 of Colin from Accounts. It was fantastic, yet the way it concluded left me feeling quite upset.
Jessie: Say nothing! I haven’t finished it! You’ve just given something away!
Lennie: I haven’t! Wait and see…
Any TV turn-offs?
Lennie: I dislike shows that feature celebrities. While I enjoy MasterChef, I simply can’t stand watching it when famous people are involved. It really gets on my nerves. However, the most appalling TV in my opinion is Love Island. I just can’t fathom how anyone could find enjoyment in it.
Jessie: You’ve never watched it, so you can’t have an opinion on it!
Lennie: I know the type of people on it, darling. They all look the same.
In its seventeenth season, your podcast “Table Manners” has hosted a diverse range of guests like Keir Starmer and Paul McCartney. Can you share the story behind the concept’s inception?
Jessie: I had lost some interest in music and was looking for an alternative. My friend suggested, “Given your curious nature and ability to draw information from others, you might consider starting a podcast.
Initially, I planned to let my mom prepare food for the guests, but I hadn’t expected her to take on such a significant part. Now, however, I find myself playing a secondary role, overshadowed by my mother’s leading performance.
Lennie, what keeps you going?
Lennie: Red wine and rest, yet what a treat for someone my age to encounter such remarkable individuals! It’s truly captivating. Truly, none have fallen short of expectations.
Any guests who have surprised you?
As a passionate film enthusiast, I’ve got to say, Ed Miliband took me by surprise! He was such an entertaining character, full of life. I never would have guessed from his time as Opposition leader. And then, out of nowhere, Pink walked into the room and gave me a heartwarming kiss! What a moment!
What kind of guest was Keir Starmer? Has he since invited you to No. 10?
Lennie: He was a very, very nice man – polite, grateful, hugely humble.
Jessie: He’d send us pictures afterwards of his favourite tandoori salmon in Glasgow.
As a dedicated cinephile, I’d share that I got an invite to No. 10, it was due to my phone banking efforts for the Labour Party. Unfortunately, I had already scheduled a trip to Greece, which left me unable to attend. By any chance, did you receive an invitation too, Jess?
Jessie: No!
Lennie, how was it stepping into the limelight?
Lennie: I don’t think I am in the limelight, really.
Jessie: Mum, you get stopped on holiday when someone hears you in the sea!
Lennie: Jessie notes that I’m often identified by my high-pitched tone of voice. However, it makes me a bit self-conscious when individuals approach me, saying, “I appreciate your podcast a lot.
Jessie, we adore our mothers, yet sometimes they can be a bit irritating. How has it been collaborating so intimately with your own?
Jessie: [Raises eyebrows] I find it overwhelming… but actually, I’m not serious at all. It’s fascinating, one-of-a-kind, and I appreciate the abundance of audio recordings we have of us sharing hearty laughter as well as disagreements.
But I’m really proud of my mum. She’s an amazing force of nature, inspiring, fab. But I wish she’d make a decision about what biscuits we’re giving out at our launch party.
Lennie: I don’t mind, I’ll defer to you.
Jessie: Correct answer.
