00:00Great to see you both. Now, I absolutely love this, and people will think I just say that.
00:05I'm Glaswegian, I'll be honest.
00:07I believe you.
00:08It's absolutely incredible. How does it feel that you're finally, nearly getting to share it?
00:13It's surreal, isn't it? It feels like such a long time ago now we did it, and I remember
00:17when we were doing it, we had so much fun in it, we were just hoping that everyone would
00:22enjoy it as much as we all enjoyed making it, so this is a real treat, and there's such
00:27a buzz in the air, and I think everybody's really ready for something like this.
00:30Yeah, I think there's something in the air at the moment. Autumn's coming in, the world's
00:34a difficult place right now, and a bit of sexy, rumpy-pumpy escapism is certainly where
00:41I'm at. So, yeah, I think, I really hope people run with this show, because it's also really
00:47moving, that's the weird thing. Come for the sex, stay for the love.
00:51That's great. It's really beautiful.
00:53It should be in advertising.
00:55That was really poignant, I felt. What a great way to describe the show, that's the line.
01:00That's what should be on the posters.
01:02It's really good.
01:03And I think at the junket we were talking about you playing naked tennis, and you said
01:07it was liberating. Have you tried to do that since?
01:10Well, no, the funny thing is, is that when I read that script, I was so worried, because
01:14I thought, well, I'm going to have to play tennis, and that was my main concern.
01:18That's what you were worried about?
01:19No, genuinely. And then what about the nakedness?
01:22Yeah, yeah.
01:23I just had a spray tan and got on with it, it was great. I haven't tried naked tennis
01:27since, but it's pretty chilly now, so maybe next summer.
01:31A bit of ping pong.
01:32Get your racket out.
01:33There you go, that's another one that could be for the show, get your racket out.
01:36Yeah, exactly.
01:37All the puns here. And listen, everybody's talked about how disgustingly well you all
01:42got on. I believe there's a WhatsApp group. Is this one of those jobs where you're like,
01:46I need to keep in touch with everybody?
01:48Genuinely, I think everybody on every job says, oh yeah, we made friends for life, and
01:52then you kind of drift apart. We are so tight as a group, and I hope that really comes across.
01:57It's been a bit special, yeah. The WhatsApp group is titled something quite specific.
02:04No one will tell me.
02:05Yeah, and I know exactly why they weren't. But even like an hour ago, it was like a flurry
02:11of activity, as everyone's having nervous breakdowns, getting into their new gear. And
02:16genuinely, people are helping each other out, going, what's the style? I'm thinking
02:20a suit. Ah, the way you want. And it's the most supportive cast I've been part of in
02:25a long time. And it's weird, because it's such a big one. It's such a massive cast.
02:29And actual legends as well. People say, don't meet your heroes. I've met all of my heroes
02:33on one job, and they are absolutely the best people I've ever met.
02:37It's not always like this. And this is, which is very disconcerting.
02:41No egos. No egos.
02:43Apart from Mummy.
02:45I know. I was going to say. I know you're putting on a great show, because I know you
02:49didn't actually get along.
02:51Absolutely.
02:52Sign of great actors.
02:54Listen, I love this so much. I can't wait for you to binge the rest of it. Enjoy it.
02:58Have fun at the after party.
03:00I think the whole world's going to love this. It's just going to take over. Best bit of
03:03telly in a long time.
03:04Oh my god.
03:05Oh, truly. Genuinely.
03:06Thank you so much.
