00:00Hello again. How are you? We need to stop meeting like this, honestly.

00:03Lovely to see you.

00:04I feel like you're going to think I'm your stalker now.

00:06Just here's fine. Are you taller tonight or am I smaller?

00:08You look really tall tonight.

00:09I think I've got... Yeah, you get nights like that.

00:11I think I've grown a touch.

00:13Do you know, I'm really sorry I never complimented your beard the other day.

00:16Oh, well, thank you.

00:16It's gorgeous. I mean, it suits you.

00:18Well, thank you. It's had a mixed reception.

00:20Has it?

00:21I think that's... A woman in the street the other day went,

00:22Oh, no! Like that. And I said, I said, I'm playing a man who's falling apart.

00:26She said, well, it's working.

00:29How dare she?

00:30How dare she?

00:30Well, listen, not to play on words here, but it's always a joy to see you.

00:34This film was a total palate cleanser for me yesterday.

00:37I'm so in love with the film.

00:38Oh, well, good.

00:39And I was chatting to everyone earlier.

00:40James revealed to me that there is a group chat between you three.

00:44Yes, there is.

00:45And you go to restaurants together.

00:46We do. We eat together. We do. We actually stick together.

00:49We got on very, very well. They're very nice people.

00:52Thomasin is adorable and brilliant and James is a lovely man.

00:55And we, yeah, we have. We've become proper friends and it's very nice.

00:59Not always that happens.

01:00And apparently you're the person they go to for restaurant recommendations.

01:04Yeah, well, I've been around. Come on.

01:06I've been around a lot longer than they have.

01:08And I, you know, but James has his own ideas about that as well.

01:12Come on now, you're a spring young chicken.

01:13You're still young. Still young. Still young at heart.

01:16And listen, last time I was speaking to you, you were playing a goose.

01:20And now there's this role. Quite the contrast.

01:22But how special was it to be a part of this story?

01:25Because it's gorgeous.

01:26It's very special. It's such a big story.

01:28You can't get much of it. You can't get a bigger story.

01:31Given that there are now 16 million women who have children who wouldn't have children.

01:34Had these three obsessives not persevered over a 10 year period where they failed and failed and failed and failed and failed.

01:41And were attacked by the newspapers, the church, their families, the Medical Association, everyone.

01:47No one supported them.

01:48They had no funding.

01:49They did it all out of temporary buildings out the back of Oldham Hospital because nobody in London would touch them.

01:55And they persevered.

01:56And Louise Brown was born 47 years ago and everybody shut up.

02:00Honestly, it's one of my favourite films of the year. I loved it.

02:02It's always a joy to see you.

02:04We need to stop meeting like this.

02:06Thank you so much, Phil. See you later.
