Yeah, I mean, so the first soundtrack album I ever owned was Dougal and the Blue Cat, which was the whole of the film.
Mark KermodeGUEST
It was like literally, well, it had a few edits, but you put the needle on the beginning and Eric Thompson's narration starts up and he does the whole thing, except for Fenella Fielding, who does the blue voice, Years later in the 90s when I was working at Radio 1, my co-presenter was Marianne Hobbs, who you all know.
Mark KermodeGUEST
And Marianne had to go off for a couple of weeks and they said, if you could have anyone as a co-presenter, who would it be? And I think they wanted me to say, oh, Jarvis Cocker or, you know, I said, Fenella Fielding.
Mark KermodeGUEST
They said, who's Fenella Fielding? I went, who's Fenella Fielding? What? Who's Fenella Fielding? Literally the greatest radio voice of our generation.
Mark KermodeGUEST
And
Miranda SawyerHOST
also, I mean, you know, she did make people's hearts flutter.
Mark KermodeGUEST
I mean, like a really extraordinary career.
Mark KermodeGUEST
Anyway, so they went, OK, fine.
Mark KermodeGUEST
And it was the whole soundtrack of the film, not just the songs.
Mark KermodeGUEST
It was the whole soundtrack with, you know, Eric Thompson doing all the characters and Fenella Fielding doing the blue voice.
Mark KermodeGUEST
So I thought for a long time that that's what a soundtrack album was, the whole film.
Mark KermodeGUEST
It wasn't until I bought the soundtrack album for what I thought was the soundtrack album for 2001, and it only had the music on it, that I kind of realized that the music was doing the work.
