What was the relationship between Nanny McPhee and Mrs. Dockerty?
EMMA: She’s the baby. She stays with her. She was the baby from the first film. Maggie Smith’s character, Mrs. Docherty, was Aggie, the baby from the first Nanny McPhee film. Q: Are you affiliated with any charity organizations? EMMA: Only about 600. I’m chair of the Helen Bamber Foundation which is the one I work with the most. They treat victims of various human cruelty of one kind or another. So we have our clients come from all over the world and have very unpleasant stories to tell. Q: How’s My Fair Lady coming along? EMMA: I’ve delivered it. It’s done. I’m just the writer so I said “Here you go! Bye.” Q: Are you going to write a part for yourself? EMMA: Obviously I re-wrote it with Mrs. Pearce, the housekeeper. I wrote a whole load of new songs for her and she goes off with [Professor] Higgins at the end so it’ll be a real interesting re-make. “Nanny McPhee Returns” opens in theaters on August 20th.
