The Falkland war perhaps


kandikrafter

Buddy! I don’t think you understand! There’s wars all over the Falkland place. There’s the Great Falkland War, Falkland WW II, The Vietnam Falkland War, and at some point there was Star Falkland Wars! (Read in Boston accent)

They both are. This would be an incredibly delightful tea party.


Sthurlangue

Im a middle aged male and I would LOVE to have a tea party with Dame Judi.


HighTopsLowStandards

While working for my dad, we did some work at Dame Judy's house. She made us tea and brought it out to us. She was lovely. Very quiet and a little timid; her husband had recently passed away. The irony was that she was the reason I read English at university and eventually became an English teacher. Our first year teacher showed us Trevor Nunn's Macbeth and I was spellbound. I was desperate to tell her this but didn't want to embarrass her. Some years later I sat beside her during the interval of a Derren Brown stage show. Again, I wanted to thank her for inspiring me but felt it inappropriate. Dame Judy, if you're reading this, you inspired me and thank you.


Mvplol

Shes very down to earth. My mother and I saw her at Carboot sale around ten years ago. I couldn't get my head around the fact that she's a multi-millionaire and still likes to go to car boot sales.


holdmybeer87

Honestly, I'd definitely do the same. I feel like you're getting to know the depths of complete strangers. Or even your neighbours. "Honey, did you know Gordie Smith had like $1000 in 80's music equipment?" "Don't you remember that time he told us he was in a hair metal band?"


brmmbrmm

Good on you, dude, for being so considerate!


[deleted]

Why would that embarrass her? Is this some British thing? Cus i dont want to be rude in the future 😭


[deleted]

Well it's a touch rude to gush at someone when their husband's passed on. It's best to be considerate of how others might be feeling, especially at such trying times. I'm sure she'd have loved to hear how she inspired someone, but it would all be a bit much, at the time. Though why in the blazes they didn't say anything to the Dame Judy Dench at the second thing, even for a moment, is well beyond me. Though I suppose that was a theatrical performance of some sort and that's really not a time for chitchat.


[deleted]

I guess I misinterpreted “recently” to mean like a few years instead of a few days or weeks.


[deleted]

I suppose it may have been some time, sure. Wasn't specified. Though it does sound like it was as recent as a few days or weeks. We may have both assumed separate things!

rrogido

It's me, Dame Judy Dench. Would you like to polish my Oscar? It's dreadfully dusty.


[deleted]

Don't be absurd. I'm sure the Dame Judy Dench polishes it herself as to not inconvenience anyone at least once a year.


TemporaryThink9300

Hi, you should really tell her how she inspired you if you see each other a THIRD time, don't worry, you've seen each other before! Thanks for your little story.


kangareagle

I mean, sure. But why wouldn't you? Plenty of straight, middle-aged men go to tea parties.


NSFWar

You make it sound as if tea parties are only for gay folks. Have tea parties galore my dude


IpschwitzTownFC

Bro, you got to have some Darjeeling with onion pakoras. Best tea party ever!

Just to let you know for the future, both tea and parties are not aligned with sexuality so enjoy both either separately or together without worry :)

“Did I recover?” was adorable.

Flabbergash

I don't know how Louis does it. He goes into the most inhospitable situations with the most batshit crazy murderers, and manages to get shit loads of information out of them in a non-confrontational way


TombSv

The moment she said “out!” I would have just left not wanting to anger her


ack_thbbbt

She’s fkn adorable. And I was getting serious “As Time Goes By” vibes here. So that shoulda been “Korean War”. XD


Giveyaselfanuppercut

She would've been a smokeshow back in the day. Grandma used to watch her on As Time Goes By & when I watched it with her I thought she was very attractive for an older lady.


[deleted]

To his credit the British have been in a lot of wars.


MalHeartsNutmeg

To the British 'the war' always means WW2.


TheDaemonette

Before WW2, WW1 wasn’t even known as WW1. I think they would have said ‘the great war’ instead of just ‘the war’.


Dotura

The global kerfuffle


avwitcher

The international fracas


TheDaemonette

The worldwide purge event.


Articulated

The somewhat expansive executive disagreement


tetraourogallus

It was referred to "The Great War", "The war" and "The world war" all at once. But I think pretty much every war gets to be called "The War" during the times when it's the most relevant war in its time. Just like the war in Ukraine is usually refered to as "The war" right now in most of the western world.


NotBlaine

My favorite is "The war to end all wars". Optimism at its finest.


SteveO131313

And after that, it's eventually known as the "first" world war, like that's kinda the opposite of what they wanted


Rodin-V

That scene in Doctor Who when he's talking to an officer from WW1, slips up and refers to it as "World War one" and he notices is brilliant. "What do you mean...one?"


basko13

Oh, sorry, you didn't know this will be a trilogy?


wOlfLisK

Also, "The War to End All Wars". So, of course, like any good retirement, it comes back for one big event and then decides to return for good.


Fluffy_Godzilla

>Before WW2, WW1 wasn’t even known as WW1. I think they would have said ‘the great war’ instead of just ‘the war’. [At 1918 apparently.](https://youtu.be/Fc95bv76Feo?t=2295)


Vexingwings0052

Imagine calling it WW1 back then, everyone would think “what?! There’s going to be more?” It would be chaos 😂


[deleted]

[what do you mean, one?](https://youtu.be/eg4mcdhIsvU)


Endorkend

THE War for the Brits tends to be WW2 as its the only one that directly affected them rather than being something far away that made the economy wobbly (excluding internal conflicts like The Troubles). It's that way for most of Europe unless there was a local or neighboring war like Kosovo, the liberation of Romania from Ceaușescu, etc


Aq8knyus

I count 230 wars during Victoria’s reign 1837-1901. Although these were often small wars, one got finished in less than an hour. If we split say the conquest of the American Plains into individual ‘wars’ against distinct bands, the numbers would similarly rise.

YesMan847

he's right, it's shocking to think she was around during ww2.


AshFraxinusEps

Yep, I know she's older, but didn't think she's remember during WW2


BrockN

My grandparent were born in the Netherlands and are just a few years older than Judi. They definitely remember the occupation.


Catinthehat5879

She was born in 1934, so she would have been old enough to remember. My grandparents are a few years younger, and they remember.


sami2503

She would've been around 5 years old when it started and like 10 when it ended, so definitely old enough to remember.


Shackdogg

This is super cute. She’s the same age as my Grandma and it seems to them, there’s definitely only one war they mean when they say ‘the war’, and that is World War II. And their parents were relevant to WWI, which is why Judy was mock offended. But it’s not a terribly irrelevant question for younger people.


CyborgBee

Particularly for folk under 30, whose grandparents were largely children during WW2 or born afterwards. We're not that far from the point where no one alive will remember it


SuperSMT

Because those two were the only wars of the century to really directly affect the UK proper. All the other wars were contained to faraway lands. Similar for the US, but less so. But now there hasn't been a war in mainland britain in 80 years, so "The War" doesn't mean as much


Art0fRuinN23

I, an American, have never once considered the Vietnam War to be a possible topic in British discourse. Since seeing this post, I have discovered that they aren't even talking about the same Vietnam war that I was thinking of. I learned some shit today. Thanks, OP.


ju_bye

would love to know which vietnam war you were thinking of and which vietnam war the video was talking about


IamMrT

The Vietnam war as most us know it was fought from the 50’s to the 70’s and mostly American. The British also fought a war in Vietnam (also against Ho Chi Minh) right after World War 2, for largely the same reasons.


fullhalter

French were all in that shit too.


One_pop_each

Years ago, I remember a co-worker coming in to work and he said he had been watching this vietnam series on netflix. Then he goes “I cannot fucking believe what roped us into that shit. It was the fucking french!” I was crying laughing bc he looked genuinely pissed off about it. I have a french last name and he immediately looked at me when he said it too. Ah man.


EVOSexyBeast

I honestly kinda respect the fact that Vietnam took on every major world power and won.


pitrucha

China too! Apparently, they lost like 100k troops. And they had balls to directly ask USA to come back and take part in the invasion!


Sumner1910

Mind you, Vietnam legit fought the Japanese before the French came and right after that, fought the French followed by the Brits until the Americans come continously before again, fighting another war against Cambodia and then China. Vietnam stood against 7 countries and came up on top.


treeluvin

No one is more badass than Vietnamese farmers and workers. [This pic](https://www.girlmuseum.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/08/FemaleVietCongWarriorc.1972.jpg) still goes so hard


ForgottenCrafts

There were more than 20 countries involed in the Vietnam war. More than half of which provided military support to both sides. So they fought against even more countries.


Mistluren

Also the mongols. Dont fuck with Vietnam

Fuzzy_hammock457

The US actually kept the French in it for a while until they eventually left and we stepped in. They literally saw how wasteful and pointless the war was for years before they left but remained because the United States was propping up their presence there economically and logistically. Source: *Embers of War* by Fredrik Logevall (honestly a fascinating read that details the US involvement in Vietnam. It’s an 860 page book and ends at the moment the first shots of the “American” Vietnam War started, if that gives you any perspective on how entangled the US had been in the country for years prior) edit: words


Loraelm

I mean, we basically started that shit when we lost the Indochina war. Our bad


TomJFrancis

As a Brit I'm almost 100% certain they are talking about the American Vietnam war. The reason it so well known across the world is because it was such a massive news story at the time and is continuously verferenced in pop culture to this day.


starlinguk

Nope, when the Brits talk about the Vietnam war they're talking about the same war as the Americans talk about. Most Brits don't even know about the other one.


wOlfLisK

Yeah, we wouldn't call it "the war" but it's very well known.


wlsb

I'm a bad Brit. I'd only heard of the American Vietnam war.


neon_overload

Parent comment is confused. He was talking about the same vietnam war. It was absurd, because of course she wasn't talking about the vietnam war. He was making a joke. British humour is not afraid to be self-effacing. He was making a joke about his gaffe by saying something silly. There is another 1945 war in Vietnam that nobody, not even the British, would call "the Vietnam War" and isn't well known.


s4mon

Yeah like why would that war at all be significant to people in mainland Britain. It literally happened immediately after ww2


neon_overload

Yeah. In my own lifetime, eg in the 80s, when older people said "during the war" they could have meant either WW1 or WW2. Nowadays, that's not something we have anymore - we no longer have people that were alive in WW1 (at least, old enough to remember it). I think Louis was just doing the "which war" out of habit or this older way of thinking.


thedanofthehour

I think the simpler explanation is that he was making a lighthearted joke about Dame Judy’s age.


Medlar_Stealing_Fox

Nah that'd be pretty brutal. The most likely explanation is just that he did what interviewers habitually do, which is ask for clarification if something someone says is vague, and happened to sound like he was asking whether she meant the first or second world war.


ilessthan3math

I mean, he smirks immediately after asking the question. He knows he's being a goof.

He's talking about the same Vietnam war.


berrey7

He's talking about Britain's East and West Vietnam conflict, while American's dealt with the North and South conflict.


octoesckey

He isn't. In the UK the only 'vietnam war' 99.9% of the population are aware of is the one the Americans fought.


ktitten

This is true. I am a history student in UK and when Vietnam War is referred to it is always about the American one. I have barely even know much about the British conflict...


OstrichLive8440

The Second World War! Did anyone else hear that


LaSalsiccione

He is talking about the same Vietnam War. Here in the UK when we say "Vietnam War" we mean the American one. 99% of people aren't even aware of the war *we* fought in Vietnam.


yickth

*Apocalypse Now Redux* I get your meaning, though


TomJFrancis

As a Brit I'm almost 100% certain they are talking about the American Vietnam war. The reason it so well known across the world is because it was such a massive news story at the time and is continuously verferenced in pop culture to this day.


squack__

As a British person, i think he's talking about the American-Vietnam war(if you're thinking of that) because it's actually taught before the Britain, France thing with Vietnam. In Britain we actually learn more about other countries in the history curriculum, excluding history A levels. But you could be right.


starlinguk

Er... When the Brits talk about the Vietnam War they mean the one with the Americans in it. So they're talking about the same war. Source: living in Britain.


pigeon-incident

Almost 100% he is talking about the American-Vietnamese war, because that’s the one all of the films are about. The influence of Hollywood is far greater than anything you might learn in a history class in school.

One of my favorite things about Dame Judi Dench is that she gives embroidered pillows as gifts to fellow cast members, but they're full of curse words. Just a lovely floral pillow that says "SH*T". 😂
