00:00Hi Jonathan, it's good to speak with you again. What is it like to be here celebrating the BAFTAs and the TV industry as a whole?
00:07It's it's it's great. It's great. And it's great that
00:11That I've been nominated twice, which is good for two shows that are brilliant
00:17slow horses in the crown
00:19The other show I was involved in three body problem is also up for awards and the creative awards
00:26And
00:27So it's I'm having a great time. It's good
00:29Is this your first event of the weekend or did you just do you hit up any of the Emmys events?
00:35I was here last weekend for the creative awards because my category is
00:40Presented at those awards. So I did
00:44There wasn't so much TV coverage of those
00:49So no today the BAFTA tea party is the first one this weekend
00:52Yeah
00:54Well, this is a tea party and a lot of people have called this one of the best parties of the weekend
01:00What do you think makes the BAFTAs so fun?
01:03I'll let you know later if it's one of the best parties. There's something in the tea. What's going on?
01:07I don't know. I have not been to one for
01:09God 10 11 years. Yeah. Yeah
01:14And we're out in the opening. It was a tea party, I think
01:18See I see there
01:19You know, this is of course the last season for the crown as well because it ended so it's a bittersweet
01:26feeling to head into the Emmys knowing that it's the last time and and
01:29Was it kind of emotional saying goodbye to your time as Prince Philip? It was briefly emotional. Yeah, I didn't expect it to be because
01:38You know when you're making something and it's sad or emotional you want the audience to be crying and not you crying
01:45But as I said my farewell on screen to to Imelda as the Queen and
01:50Saying say a prayer for me and I walk off into the sunset. There was a little choke in my in my throat
01:57yeah, definitely, but it was a
02:00It was a good emotional feeling because this series is so good and was so good
02:07Yes, you feel like it ended at the right time. I think so. We were getting closer and closer to
02:14Present-day and
02:17More and more criticism that it wasn't, you know, historically or factually, correct
02:23whereas the shows
02:25Earlier shows they've been they were history. They were learning lessons from people now people know what it's like, you know
02:32So I think it's a good time to finish with run Diana's death and just beyond
02:37You are nominated for slow horses. I wanted to know between these two nominations
02:41What are the sort of roles and characters that are intriguing to you as you look to the future and you look for a future?
02:47Roles in reading scripts. I like your optimism that I'm looking for future roles at my age. Yes, definitely
02:54Absolutely. Always always. Yeah, they get fewer and fewer I can tell you I
03:01How I choose did you say yeah
03:05well, what's interesting is I I rarely go out to look for something and
03:12I I don't always do what I'm offered but crown and slow horses
03:17I knew nothing about slow horses. So they just asked me and I read it and I thought this sounds good
03:22I've always tried to look for to do something different
03:26and
03:28You know, the slow horses character is very different. Most people are very different to Prince Philip, whatever you play
03:34So it's just trying to find something new. Yeah. Thank you so much for stopping by and congrats again. Thank you
03:41You
