00:00Guys, it's so good to see you. I feel like The Junket was so long ago now, doesn't it?

00:04I know, it does feel a while ago, doesn't it?

00:05I know. Where did everyone go? Is this it?

00:08Listen, it's an exclusive. Don't be raining on me, right?

00:11No, no, no. I'm joking.

00:12I'm here. That should be enough for you.

00:13This is very true.

00:14Exactly. Listen, I love this show. You know that. I've been obsessed with it since The Junket.

00:19How does it feel that it's finally nearly out there now?

00:22How does it feel?

00:24Incredible.

00:26Incredible. Down the barrel.

00:28I know. It feels great. I mean, we've waited a while for this to...

00:30It feels like we've been waiting a very, very long time.

00:33Yeah, it does.

00:34We've already seen the episode, so there's no surprise there.

00:36But, like, so many people we've talked to haven't seen it.

00:38So, yeah, it's really exciting that it's coming out soon.

00:40Just a couple more days.

00:4118th, right?

00:42Yes.

00:43What date is it today?

00:4415th.

00:45Okay. Three days. There we go.

00:46I mean, literally, not one day of the year in my mind.

00:47I know. I know.

00:48I know. It's only out of our minds.

00:49Three days. It's all out.

00:50Three days.

00:51And there's so much hype around this because, obviously, people love the book.

00:54It's absolutely incredible.

00:55So, now that you're going to get to share it,

00:57how does that feel that you're actually putting it out into the world

01:00and people are going to get to see?

01:01Because there's some differences, but nothing too major from the book, right?

01:04No, it's always slightly scary, isn't it, when it's based on something?

01:07No, no, no.

01:08Because people really are dying hard fans.

01:10And, obviously, there are changes to the story.

01:12But I think for the better.

01:13Yeah.

01:14Well, yeah.

01:15I think for the better, too.

01:16But the great thing is that we had the writer with us all the time.

01:19She read the script.

01:20She's contributed.

01:21She's there.

01:22She's on set.

01:23She's a part of the whole thing.

01:24Yeah.

01:25If it was going that way early, she would have told us.

01:28So, yeah.

01:29So, she's given us the vote.

01:30And that's kind of all that should matter, really.

01:32I think the fans will love it, though.

01:34Are you ready for Declan to become a heartthrob?

01:36Because I said to you this at the junket.

01:37You said no.

01:38No heartthrob talk?

01:39What do I have to do to not be a heartthrob?

01:41What's going on here?

01:42Oh, my God.

01:43I wish I was.

01:44No throbbing of the heart.

01:45Goddamn, I wish I wasn't there.

01:46Not again.

01:47You just need to know who you are, then.

01:49Why me?

01:50Oh, my goodness.

01:51You know what?

01:52I've watched it.

01:53I've re-watched it.

01:54And I've came to the same conclusion.

01:55Which is what?

01:56That he's going to be the heartthrob.

01:57No.

01:58Oh, I think he will be.

01:59Come on.

02:00Give yourself the credit.

02:01He's a dad.

02:02Look, I don't think that's important.

02:03I think heartthrob is Rupert Campbell Black.

02:05Declan, I think, would be quite cringed at the heartthrob sort of title, you know?

02:09Serious guy.

02:10Serious journalist.

02:11That would be below him a little bit.

02:12I don't know.

02:13I think he'd secretly like it, deep down.

02:14I don't know.

02:15He's a guy who's wearing yellow socks on live television.

02:17I'm not so sure about that.

02:18He's not that bad.

02:20He just doesn't get it.

02:21So, yeah.

02:22I'm going to stick with him on that one.

02:23Don't care.

02:24Well, look at me trying to give him a compliment.

02:26No, I didn't take that very well at all.

02:28I fought that from the very start.

02:30I need to calm down.

02:32I've got three days left.

02:33My gosh.

02:36You just don't want it to go to your head.

02:37That's what it is.

02:38Oh, yeah.

02:39Yeah.

02:40There's that too.

02:41And how do you feel about your character as well?

02:42Because, obviously, people are very excited and very invested, aren't they?

02:45Yeah, I feel quite.

02:46I mean, I guess it's the same as you.

02:49We love Gilly very much, and we just want to do her proud.

02:53And I had a lot of fun doing it, so hopefully it translates.

02:57I think it does translate.

02:58You've seen it, right?

02:59Have you seen all of it?

03:00No, I've got to three episodes.

03:01I'm going to digest it.

03:03Oh, wow.

03:04You've got three?

03:05Wow.

03:06I know.

03:07I was binging and going right through, and I thought, I need to stop.

03:08I need to control myself.

03:09That's something that comes back.

03:10The question gets asked a lot.

03:11Was it as much fun as it looks?

03:13I don't think I've ever said it before on shows.

03:15Some shows I've been in look like a lot of fun.

03:17They were not, and vice versa.

03:18But this one married really well, I think.

03:20Yeah, it was very the energy of the show.

03:22We had the crack all the time.

03:24The Irish, you know, I don't need to.

03:27And just finally, then, is it kind of bittersweet?

03:29Because I've been loving you guys doing the promo.

03:31You've enjoyed working on it.

03:32But now it's nearly all over, and you've got to go your separate ways.

03:35This is kind of it now, isn't it?

03:37Yeah, yeah.

03:38Kind of is.

03:39Hopefully, for a while.

03:40But, yeah, this is sort of the last big thing.

03:42We're all good friends.

03:43We'll do something.

03:44We'll do something.

03:45We'll work it out.

03:46Is there a WhatsApp group?

03:48I just saw a make-up person pulling out a T-shirt out of a bag,

03:52and I know it's for this wet mess over here.

03:55Of course I called you out.

03:56It's these lights that kill me.

03:58I know, they were just at Hansard.

04:00You knew what you were doing.

04:01I knew what I was doing.

04:03Right, is there a WhatsApp group?

04:04Are you going to stay connected?

04:05Yeah, of course.

04:06Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.

04:07We're very close, yeah.

04:08Unless you figure out what people are doing.

04:09Exactly.

04:10Well, listen, I'd love to see it.

04:11Thank you so much.

04:12Genuinely, I loved it.

04:13I think this is going to be massive.

04:15I really do.

04:16Thanks so much.

04:17Nice to see you, heartthrob.

04:18Thanks so much.

04:19I'm not a heartthrob.

04:20Babe, you're a babe.

04:22I don't want to look at you.
