Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough her remarks were obviously part of a comedic repartee, Emma Thompson was criticized by officials from the Isle of Wight for joking that Irish and Scottish people are shot upon arriving at the island, and for a separate exchange in which she joked about her father meeting his demise when homosexual men on the island stoned him to death (ironically, island officials mistakenly interpreted the remark to suggest that island residents were stoning homosexuals); those remarks began when she inadvertently used a common British term for cigarettes which is generally known in the U.S. as an anti-gay slur.
- Quotes
Emma Thompson: [speaking about her father] He died when he was pretty much my age - he was 52 when he died - and so the thought of him...
Emma Thompson: [to the audience, motioning as if smoking a cigarette] it was the fags what got him...
Craig Ferguson: [chuckling, explaining to the audience] Yeah, yeah, but - we, we call them cigarettes here, but we know what you mean.
Emma Thompson: I started smoking, you know...
[as laughter rolls through the audience, she waves her hands and rolls her eyes in good-natured embarrassment]
Craig Ferguson: [laughingly trying to calm the audience] Relax... relax...
Craig Ferguson: [in mock horror, posing as a fey outraged viewer] *What* did she say?
Emma Thompson: [rolling her eyes] He went - he went...
Craig Ferguson: It's all right...
Emma Thompson: [in a mock melodramatic "recollection" of her father's death] He went to the Isle of Wight... they *stoned* him...
[laughter again fills the audience]
