(sultry jazz music) - The music was just so special.
My granny was actually, she sang jazz when she was younger, she sang jazz in the war and I kind of grown up listening to these songs and thinking they were incredible.
So to get to actually sing them, was very daunting, but it was amazing.
So I kind of was flung into it, in amazing recording studio in London with a live jazz band.
And then all I could do was have fun, 'cause you're surrounded by all these super talented musicians.
And then it meant that when it came to doing it on set, I was really comfortable 'cause I had the track that we'd already recorded and I could just sing along and have fun and all the supporting artists were dancing and having a laugh, so yeah, it felt like we were in a club.
It was amazing.
(crowd cheers) (smooth guitar strumming) With ENSA, I tried to do a lot of research about them as the entertainment core.
But then also about the individuals that made up that.
I was really fortunate to come across a whole archive of personal accounts, events and performers.
And hear about all their weird and wonderful stories of traveling around.
(passengers chatter) - Courage Lois.
(group laughs) - It was interesting actually filming with the ENSA troop for, it was episode three is when we go to France.
We actually had an amazing group of supporting artists that we had an accordionist called Steve who was 86.
And a real ventriloquist and a real jazz band from Manchester.
(crowd cheers) (smooth jazz music) I sing a song called, "After You've Gone."
And Lois is in quite a vulnerable state.
She's hiding a secret and she is being faced with seeing Harry again.
She's in a foreign place with lots of men all around her.
She's very vulnerable but she goes on stage and she puts on a show and she's very provocative (men cheer) and flirty.
I like I really, really enjoyed doing that.
'Cause it was the contrast of what she's actually feeling to what she's puttin' on.
I think you can hear it in the song.
