Aileen From Derry's HILARIOUS Red Chair Story | The Graham Norton Show

Aileen's Derry accent causes Zac some confusion, luckily she helps him out with pronunciation. (Now with captions!)

AND I HAD TO. GET. MILK. AND. BREAD.

I love that she starts to over enunciate so, maybe, Zack could understand her.

[aaronr]

Fun fact: She's a very accomplished costume interpreter and has worked on shows like Game of Thrones and much more.

Lol before she did the over-enunciation joke she was speaking good enough that Zach probably understood.. But after that joke it's like she just went into full on Gaelic!

[coldbeatle]

“Drove straight into a lampost!” Guests on the couch: “😧😧😧” Graham: “lol good story good story!”

This story never gets old. Whenever I need a laugh I return to it.

Transcription:
"So, the lead-up to Christmas, I was back home, running into the shop and I had to get milk and bread, So I literally was really stressed, so I was, like, run in, run out, get the groceries, let's go. Told my boyfriend to do a lap and just pick me up, no need to park the car. So, as planned, I came out, you know, perfectly timing, a silver people carrier just casually drifts by, casual speed, so without hesitation I sprint across with my gorceries, jump in the back of the car, screaming, and thumping the back of the chair shouting "GO! GO! GO! GO! GO!". But, taking in mind it was christmas I had, like, a scarf up here and a hat over here, and a coat. I thought, which was my boyfriend, turned out to be this middle-aged, like, 60-year old woman, screaming, and pushed her foot on the accelerator and then went straight into a lamppost."


Her name is Aileen Faller and has worked on such projects as Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, Derry Girls and Episodes.

I've always thought she had the best red chair story ever...

[GaretheDen]

I've watched this red chair story several times. Aileen is a legend!

[jetterjohn]

Costume interpretation, when a writer such as George RR Martin describes the Costume in a book, someone has to interpret it into an actual costume for TV/Film, yes Aileen did work on Game Of thrones

[mrswift]

My absolute favourite story, carried on despite some mocking that could have put her of . So funny, loved it and her accent helps make a funny story even funnier

[keithorbell]

One of the key points of the story many people are missing: this is in Derry, Northern Ireland, masked people tend give the impression that they are some sort of Paramilitary, so no wonder the driver was terrified!

[tropicaldan]

Best red chair story ever.
And plus she’s gorgeous with a wonderful personality.

[davidstone]

What a combination. Not just smart but sharp, quick thinker, natural storyteller, brevity is key and oh... adorabley cute.

[IAmFJ]

I love how all of Graham's American guest are always moaning: Oh I didn't understand a word! And here I am, someone who English is not her first language and I understand her perfectly.

[steffnic]

I love that middle age is now 60. 😂 May that be middle age for us all.

[kasession]

I love how Graham perfectly understands that Zack can't understand her, and makes that fact funny. Graham is the BEST!!!

[ECris]

One of the most iconic red chair appearances 😃

[Spencerlayne]

How are Irish people just naturally funny and quick on the mark with jokes and story's. She's so happy man. Funny 🤣😀

[bluebellcrushedvelvet]
