Transcript

00:00 Congratulations on season two. I have to ask, after sharing so many scenes with Matt and Olivia last season,

00:05 what was it like, the experience of creating season two without them?

00:09 Yeah, like kind of lonely. I don't know.

00:12 No, I

00:14 There's so many beautiful actors on the show. It's just like it's an ever-mutating thing.

00:19 Certainly, I think that it will make the act of viewership kind of more exciting, right?

00:24 Because there are like so many parts to the series that I've not had the chance to watch yet.

00:28 So I get to watch as a sort of pure fan.

00:31 You know, these other narrative strands.

00:35 And yeah, look, I mean it really

00:37 makes you know

00:40 makes you really know what you lost, I suppose. No, like every time we do get to work

00:45 it's a great privilege and very exciting and very thrilling and, you know, nourishes something because it sort of feels old and

00:52 so much of us

00:54 making the first series was, well for me, was sort of, you know, falling in love with them, with Matt, with Liv, with

01:00 other members of the cast. And so any time that you get to sort of, I don't know, joy in that is a treat.

01:07 But as shows have to move on, I think that's what keeps it exciting. And there are like, yeah, there are different

01:15 gravitational pulls this season for her.

01:20 And I wanted to very quickly ask, I know you and Olivia mentioned that you didn't necessarily love becoming an internet meme.

01:26 Does that change the way that you approach the public part of this job?

01:29 Oh, I actually don't really mind it.

01:31 Do you know what? I found it always hard to talk about because it just felt like something that happened to someone else. Like I

01:36 really couldn't connect and like I'm not hugely, I'm not that social media savvy. Like I'm not hugely in the world of it.

01:44 So I

01:45 don't know. It was just a sort of strange mirage in my life for a while. I don't mind it.

01:51 I just feel like it's not really my business, you know.
