00:00 - Hearty congratulations on tonight. - Thank you so much.
00:03 How nervous or excited do you feel when you step into something like this?
00:08 Is that the idea of winning something and having to get up?
00:11 Does it almost mar the experience at this point or are you just buzzing?
00:14 No, I've definitely... It's one of those things where I told myself,
00:17 "Oh, it's just a celebration. It's nice to just be with my friends."
00:21 But I haven't eaten all day, so clearly I'm nervous about something.
00:25 But no, it's great to be here. People are outside, people look amazing.
00:30 Yeah, it's going to be fun.
00:31 Have you found the reception of this second series that...
00:34 I suppose when it's kind of an anthology in a way and it's new people and new stories,
00:38 it frees you up as a performer and an actor a little.
00:41 But at the same time, when something's so successful and so loved and so recognisable,
00:47 there must have been almost a burden on the shoulders of you guys on set
00:51 knowing you're following up or something like that.
00:53 So, a kind of feeling of relief or excitement for where we're at at the moment?
00:57 I felt like season one was so incredible.
01:01 It set a tone rather than created a burden.
01:05 I think for me, it created the world in which...
01:11 Obviously, the women's storyline has its own nuances,
01:14 but ultimately this is about people who are through the criminal justice system.
01:18 And I think the bar was set so high that it just felt...
01:23 I mean, from when I read the scripts, I knew that we'd be okay.
01:27 But yeah, I feel so many people have been really vulnerable and candid
01:32 with their responses to time season two.
01:34 And so I feel really moved that it's touched people.
01:37 And I suppose as an actor, it's a bit like being in the circus
01:40 because you go to one place, you get used to the people you're working with,
01:45 the place you are, then you all move on to something else.
01:47 Nights Like Tonight must be a beautiful opportunity to see Bella again,
01:51 see Jodie again and reconnect and kind of remember all the work
01:55 that you guys put into it.
01:56 Completely. To follow your circus metaphor,
01:59 I think Nights Like Tonight feel like aerial hoop,
02:02 where you're sort of on a high and you're buzzing to see everyone.
02:09 But it's just like, okay, let me also find a way to ground myself
02:12 because if I drop tonight, I don't know if I'll be able to get back up.
02:15 But yeah, I think that's one of the beauties about being in such a nomadic
02:20 career is that there's very intensive periods within which you form a bond
02:26 with people and you have a very unique memory about an experience
02:30 and a story that won't be recreated,
02:33 but will always be kind of like remembered for what it was.
02:36 So, yeah, I feel I'm so happy that we're all nominated tonight as well,
02:40 so we can all be here together.
02:41 Have you guys ever attempted Nights Like Tonight to go up to somebody
02:44 who's involved in something that you either really enjoy watching
02:47 or a project that's coming up and be like,
02:49 "Hey, is there another space?"
02:50 You could have a word with Bella like,
02:51 "Last of Us series two has got a role in that for me."
02:54 Well, to get a shoe in.
02:55 To be honest, I think I'm definitely going to be fangirling
02:59 and just be like, "Hi."
03:01 You know when you just find something to say like,
03:02 "Oh, you look nice. That's a nice dress.
03:04 By the way, I really love your work."
03:06 I think that's going to be me tonight.
03:08 I'm not too proud to tell people that I think they're amazing,
03:11 so that's going to be me.
03:12 Well, we think you're amazing.
03:13 I thought that series was a fantastic follow.
03:15 Really, really loved it.
03:16 And good luck with tonight,
03:18 but I'm sure you're going to have a banging night anyway.
03:19 - It's going to be me. - I'll see you at the next one.
