This episode had quite a lineup: Skarsgård, Margolyes, Glenn Close, and Nicola Coughlan. It was a star-studded chat fest. Skarsgård had everyone, including Graham and us viewers, in fits with a funny story involving Margolyes.
Graham, being Graham, wanted more details about their odd but delightful connection. Margolyes, with her usual cheekiness, cut in with, “No, you don't!” Skarsgård, quick on his feet, tossed back, “Well, I thought I left quite an impression.” The banter that followed was simply irresistible.
A missed connection with a twist h2>
Skarsgård then shared, “You had or maybe still have a condo in Santa Monica, right? Weren't you renting a room at some point?” Margolyes nodded, curious, “Yeah, when I had plans back in England. What were you doing in that picture?”
He revealed, “I saw an ad. Just looking around." Margolyes' curiosity was piqued, “And why didn't you take it?”
With a cheeky smile, Skarsgård confessed, “Well… It was a fabulous place, and you were delightful. But I thought there was a vibe, maybe misread it, and didn't want things getting awkward.”
Margolyes responded, feigning shock, “Sweetheart! I'm 84, prefer women, and have been with my partner forever.” Laughter filled every corner.

“I probably messed that up too,” Skarsgård laughed, “We had a lovely afternoon though… not that you remember.” Margolyes looked adorably puzzled.
Norton, ever stirring, asked Coughlan if she'd ever shared any living space with Margolyes. Coughlan, not missing a beat, joked, “Of course, Miriam, you're my mom.” The humor was contagious.
Skarsgård threw in, “And I'm your dad!” Cue more belly laughs and a comedy “family” hug.
