Actress Dame Diana Rigg has told BBC HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur about playing the role of Lady Olenna Tyrell in television drama Game of Thrones and the importance of making roles believable. "I wasn't aware I was getting involved in something so huge. I really had no idea," she said, adding that her character is "pretty evil, I'm good at evil." After a career spanning five decades, including her role as Mrs Peel in The Avengers, Dame Diana says the secret to great acting is "to measure the distance between yourself and that part and you have to fill it, fill it with truth", bringing to bear experience and understanding of the human condition.

And I never thought I'd feel this way
And as far as I'm concerned
I'm glad I got the chance to say
That I do believe I love you
And if I should ever go away
Well, then close your eyes and try to feel
The way we do today
And then if you can remember
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Well, you came and opened me
And now there's so much more I see
And so by the way I thank you
Whoa, and then for the times when we're apart
Well, then close your eyes and know
These words are comin' from my heart
And then if you can remember, oh
Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
In good times, in bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
Oh, that's what friends are for
Whoa... oh... oh... keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for
Keep smilin', keep shinin'
Knowin' you can always count on me, oh, for sure
'Cause I tell you that's what friends are for
For good times and for bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for (That's what friends are for)
On me, for sure
That's what friends are for
