00:00 The Lodge Dice.
00:01 I know, how's it going?
00:02 I don't know where you live.
00:03 Crazy, though.
00:04 Crazy.
00:05 I know.
00:06 Look at how you are now.
00:07 I'm so proud of you.
00:08 Thank you.
00:09 Oh my god.
00:10 I know that sounds crazy, but that seems like a world away.
00:13 It really does, yeah.
00:14 But it's very nice to see you guys.
00:15 Yeah, you too.
00:16 Guys, this is your time to shine.
00:18 Season three, the spotlight is on you guys.
00:22 How are you feeling about, is it pressure or is it just like, this is what I've been
00:27 waiting for my whole life?
00:28 I feel like the pressure has now...
00:29 I think that we've done it now.
00:30 It is what it is.
00:31 It's too late.
00:32 If we were like, I don't think I should have done that, they'd be like, oh well.
00:36 But now having seen it as well, I think it really reassured us in the choices that we
00:41 made and yeah, it's just beautiful.
00:43 I can't wait to share it.
00:44 It's so good.
00:45 Thank you so much.
00:46 No, it really is.
00:47 I don't know, the show just keeps getting better.
00:50 We love that.
00:51 Which is lovely.
00:52 I'm curious with how Penelope gets so flustered when she is courting, I guess.
00:58 How easily flustered do you get in those situations?
01:01 It's like 50/50.
01:02 Sometimes I can be super confident and then other times it's like, oh, this is quite intimidating.
01:07 So it just depends on the day.
01:08 Sometimes you're Pen and then sometimes you're Colin at the start of the season.
01:11 Exactly.
01:12 Got all the lines for the ladies.
01:14 I think I'm older than Pen and I have more experience so hopefully a little better, but
01:20 I definitely, but I'm like a goof.
01:22 Definitely, there's a lot of that that I'm like, yeah, I'm sure that could be me.
01:26 How about you?
01:27 Probably the same.
01:28 I probably have more of this.
01:29 And it's like, it depends how high the stakes are.
01:31 If it's something that means more to you, I'm probably more like Pen in that awkward flirting scene.
01:36 But actually, yeah, I like to think of myself like Colin at the start.
01:40 Although it's a bit like-
01:41 No, you're much more genuine than that.
01:43 Yeah, I'm really not that sort of like, yeah, coming out with all the lines.
01:46 Rico Suave.
01:47 Yeah, great.
01:48 There is no one I feel better qualified though now to give me some advice on meeting a suitor.
01:53 This is what you were saying to us and I'm like, I don't know that we know anything.
01:56 I mean, this is what I came here for.
01:58 Okay, let's do this.
02:00 I have not had the most amount of luck, so what have you learned that you can pass on?
02:04 Well, people are stupid first because you're gorgeous with a sparkling personality, so
02:07 they're in the wrong and not you.
02:09 Can I date you?
02:10 Dang, sure.
02:11 The journey that they kind of both go on is like about discovering more about yourself
02:18 and it will help you find that person and connect you with that person.
02:22 Also accepting yourself for who you are and finding someone that also does that and boosts
02:28 you up and appreciates every quality.
02:31 Because I feel like it doesn't really matter, I think, in a way what someone looks like
02:35 or who they are.
02:36 If they have real innate confidence in it, that is really sexy and attractive.
02:40 But luckily, as I said, you're both beautiful with a sparkling personality, so you actually
02:44 have the goods to back it up, so just back it up.
02:46 Just don't pretend to like grass when I don't like grass.
02:49 I know, right?
02:50 That's a big one.
02:51 I love that bit.
02:52 And if there were any Bridgerton traditions that we could bring to modern society, which
02:57 ones do you think would be well?
02:59 Because I've heard no phones, I think, is a great one.
03:03 Oh, that would be lovely, wouldn't it?
03:04 That would be great.
03:05 After you go for a dance and people call on you, so they like, you know,
03:09 They make their intentions known.
03:10 They're actively coming to your home.
03:12 I mean, it might be a little bit creepy now, like just knocking on your door and being like...
03:15 They have to like announce it, though.
03:16 They have to be like, "There's a caller here to see such and such."
03:19 But then you're like, "Oh, they must like me," because in that time, they weren't doing
03:24 it to mess you around.
03:25 They had to really make a decision.
03:27 Just being honest with your intentions and no game playing.
03:31 Exactly.
03:32 Claudia's like, "Bring me a puppy the next day."
03:35 And the food.
03:36 Let's just have cakes and biscuits on top all day.
03:39 Is that what you'd want brought to you if someone was coming to your door the next day?
03:43 "Oh, what do I want the next day?"
03:45 Yeah, pastries, pastries and coffee.
03:46 A nice brunch.
03:47 Oh, yeah.
03:48 Yeah.
03:49 Like a nice brunch, like a nice iced coffee.
03:51 Yeah.
03:52 Yeah.
03:53 Loves that.
03:54 It feeds the way to your heart, then.
03:55 Yeah, it is.
03:56 Really.
03:57 It's not the past, but I was like, "A DVD to watch."
03:58 I'm like, "Let's watch this movie together."
04:01 Yeah.
04:02 Oh, that's cute.
04:03 That is cute.
04:04 And obviously, listen, I know you guys are making us wait for the second part, and I'm
04:07 very excited because of where it's left off.
04:10 What can you tell us?
04:12 Can you tell us?
04:13 Wow.
04:14 What can we?
04:15 I love episodes five and six.
04:17 Yeah.
04:18 So much.
04:19 Potential favourites.
04:20 Yeah, I did.
04:21 And when we were filming it, I don't know.
04:22 I didn't really think.
04:23 I don't know what I thought we were filming.
04:24 So many at that point.
04:25 But also, I just love them.
04:26 And also, I love, I think fans will love the point to which Colin and Penn have gotten
04:31 in the latter half.
04:32 Yeah.
04:33 Because they are maturing so much.
04:35 Yeah.
04:36 In many ways.
04:37 Also, it gets very spicy.
04:38 Yeah.
04:39 I guess we can say that it feels like everything is resolved and we're all good, but there's
04:43 so much more to it.
04:44 Yeah, there's like a little elephant in the room there.
04:46 Yeah.
04:47 Yeah.
04:48 So, there's that.
04:49 There's a few elephants.
04:50 I can't wait.
04:51 I can't wait.
04:52 I've obviously seen the first four, but I can't wait for the second part.
04:53 Lovely to see you as always.
04:54 You too.
04:55 Thank you.
04:56 Super proud of you, Luke.
04:57 Thank you so much.
04:58 So good to see you.
04:59 Yeah.
05:00 Thanks so much.
05:01 Take care.
05:02 See you.
