00:00I really enjoyed that, you know, the first episode and the last episode
00:03sees you both do a bit of a dance number with spoons,
00:05because I just wonder, it's so funny and so ridiculous.
00:08I wonder how many takes it'd take you to get it right.
00:11It didn't take many because we took it seriously, didn't we?
00:14We were trained.
00:16We were doing that sh** on the DL all day in our own kitchens.
00:21Yeah, we had a choreographer who videoed us self doing it.
00:25Yeah.
00:26And then I was watching that and sort of the spoon thing was slightly more difficult.
00:31Yeah.
00:32Just because they're quite dangerous spoons when you're smashing them on your fingers.
00:35You'd be surprised.
00:37And they're big spoons, you know, they're not teaspoons.
00:40So, you know, that side of it, it's trying to...
00:42And also because of sound, you're not allowed to clack them.
00:46Yeah, so they had to give us sound-free spoons.
00:51Just imagine the wonders of TV.
00:52But to be honest, we had like a week or so rehearsing.
00:56We were meant to be rehearsing for the whole show,
00:58but it ended up just us learning that dance.
01:00Yeah.
01:00Because I'd written this dance and it had to be good.
01:02And I was like, sh**, now I've got to rehearse the f*** out of it to get it good.
01:06And yeah, we got it done.
01:08It had to be almost like two adults that used to do this when they were kids.
01:11And also it couldn't be too polished and it couldn't be too...
01:13It had to be quite childlike, but at the same time visually f***ing funny.
01:19And I think, you know, we nailed it.
01:22And so we didn't have to do it that much.
01:23We didn't have time to do it that much.
01:24So, you know, it came sort of midway through the shoot as well.
01:28We didn't do it early doors.
01:30So we was f***ing ready.
01:32We was on it.
01:32We was f***ing on it.
01:33So, you know, it's an important part of the film.
01:36And also towards the end, we don't want to give nothing away.
01:38It also becomes quite integral towards the end.
01:41So, you know, we'll let the viewers know we won't do that.
01:44But it's a big old twisty number at the end.
01:47Lovely little twist.
01:49Yeah, I thought you definitely nailed it.
01:50I feel like it's like a great audition tape for Strictly, if anything.
01:53Oh, f*** that.
01:54No, we don't want to...
01:57Me and my best friend, we used to watch Strictly together.
02:00And we...
02:02Well, you know the intro of it?
02:04We used to sing to the intro tune.
02:06Wrap it up in Parma ham.
02:08Wrap it up in pork.
02:09Wrap it up in Parma ham.
02:11Let your body talk.
02:12It's just a little tidbit for you there.
02:14I prefer it.
