00:00You're like, no, it isn't. I've just done it myself.
00:02I'm not doing anything.
00:04Not what we were thinking.
00:06That's my private life.
00:09So from actual royalty to robbing royalty.
00:12Yeah.
00:13I want to be you. My God.
00:14I hear it.
00:15Oh my goodness. What a character.
00:17Yeah, she's wicked.
00:18Bolshie. Zero Fs given. Oh, love, love, love.
00:22The way you walk as well. I was like, bit of me.
00:24It's great that walk.
00:25People said this to me, right? They were like,
00:27I love the walk you're doing for Mary.
00:29And genuinely, I wasn't doing anything.
00:32I was like, I don't know what you're talking about.
00:34It's the love gone into that walk.
00:36You're like, no, it isn't. I've just done it myself.
00:38But then, you know, that's not how I talk.
00:41But genuinely, I was like, I'm not doing anything.
00:44But I think it's the corset.
00:45I think the corset makes you have to like lump yourself around a little bit
00:48because you can't move your middle bit.
00:50So you're kind of like walking around.
00:52And I will add the skirts, they're like curtains.
00:55So you're walking around, you can't move the middle bit
00:58because you've got like weights on your bloody arse.
01:00So this one would top off the whole time.
01:03You don't have any clothes on.
01:04Yeah, so there you go.
01:07He's getting all shy.
01:09He is.
01:10Wow, buffer, what you two.
01:11I mean, were you texting each other out of set going,
01:14fancy meeting up in the room?
01:15Fancy a little...
01:16No, no, no, no, no, no.
01:20No, no.
01:22I thought you might be practising in front of the mirror,
01:24you know, practising your moves.
01:27We practised in the respect of, you know, it's finely choreographed.
01:32All of the fights are choreographed to within an inch,
01:35do you know what I mean?
01:36So it's basically like dancing.
01:37It's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
01:40It's all of that.
01:41And then you video them, we video them in the ring,
01:43and then you're at home, basically.
01:45I was lucky because I had Aralfi to help me.
01:48Did you?
01:49Yeah, so me and Aralfi, I'd go, watch this with me,
01:51and then I'd go, right, and then we'd do the thing.
01:54So we videoed it, and we did it.
01:56So in that sense, we were texting each other,
01:58and we'd go, let's meet up and go to the fight whenever we could,
02:01you know what I mean, whenever there was a spare moment.
02:03No FaceTime boxing then?
02:04No, no.
02:05A bit delayed.
02:07You must be the coolest dad ever doing that.
02:09Yeah.
02:10That's ridiculous.
02:11I love it.
02:12And, you know, they say don't mix work with pleasure.
02:14You brought your wife along to this one, fantastic.
02:16Well, she brought us all, if I'm honest.
02:18She did.
02:19She's a very talented lady.
02:20She was the one, we had a photograph of Hezekiah,
02:23and we had two paragraphs that were given to us by Tom,
02:27who was one of our other producers.
02:29We had a paragraph about Sugar and a paragraph about Treacle.
02:33And they were like, look, we'd really love you to be involved.
02:36And Hannah went, I know who's going to write this.
02:38And I went, who?
02:39And she went, Steve Knight.
02:40I went, no chance, don't be ridiculous.
02:42She went, watch, I've been talking to Julie, his assistant.
02:46And I was like, what?
02:47Because he wanted me to do Peaky Blinders.
02:49And she sent it with the stuff.
02:52And then literally, she sent it on the Friday, I think,
02:54on Monday morning.
02:55She went, hey, you, come here.
02:56I was like, what?
02:57And she went, have a look at that.
02:58I was like, what?
02:59She went, look at that.
03:00And I had to read the email, and I was like, oh, wow.
03:04He said, I'd love to be a part of it,
03:05and I'd really like to write the script.
03:07And he had some wonderful ideas already,
03:09and that's where he added the 40 elephants and Mary
03:12and these wonderful characters.
03:13Do you know what I mean?
03:14Absolutely amazing.
03:15And has the name Sugarstock at home, a little nickname?
03:17No, but we were thinking, that's my private life.
03:23I think it's a lovely nickname.
03:25We've got two dogs.
03:26We've got Bonnie and Clyde.
03:27Yeah.
03:28They were lovely.
03:29And we were thinking, we might get another dog
03:31and call him Sugar.
03:32Oh, yeah?
03:33Yeah.
03:34Get two.
03:35You can't just have Sugar.
03:36No, you've got to have Treacle.
03:37You've got Treacle?
03:38Yeah, OK.
03:39Come on, now.
03:40That's four dogs, then.
03:41Yeah, well, just get more.
03:43Maybe guinea pigs, a bit smaller.
03:45No.
03:46Get Treacle.
03:47I love that.
03:48Sugar's such a lovely nickname.
03:49I do like that.
03:50It's a good name.
03:51So what about what it takes, Erin, to get into your crew, then?
03:53In real life.
03:54Well, we were already-
03:55Because you know how hard it is to get to Mary?
03:57We were discussing this, and Stephen's already said
03:59that I wouldn't be allowed in, because I cry too much, essentially.
04:02So I don't know.
04:03Do you cry?
04:04I do.
04:05I cry every day.
04:06It's healthy to cry, guys.
04:07I just cry.
04:09If I see, like, an old-
04:10You're too soft.
04:11No, come on.
04:12I mean, in the nicest possible way.
04:14Do you know what I mean?
04:15It's said with love and conviction.
04:17Mary wouldn't have you-
04:18No, she wouldn't.
04:19So, honestly, I don't know the answer to that question,
04:22because I would not be allowed in.
04:25You tell me.
04:26What the hell do you have to do to get into a gang?
04:28I don't know.
04:29Mary would have some kind of-
04:30Yeah, you'd have to have some kind of initiation.
04:33Oh, yeah, which we kind of-
04:35I'm actually not going to go there.
04:36We kind of had-
04:39Oh, my coffee.
04:40Oh, no, there we go.
04:41It's fine.
04:42Sorry.
04:43We kind of had, like, a weird initiation thing before we started,
04:46but actually, the way it bonded us was because we all kind of
04:50opened our eyes mid-thing and were like,
04:52what the hell is going on?
04:54And so we just bonded over the weirdness of this whole experience.
04:56You weren't drinking out of shoes like rugby boys, were you?
04:58No, but we kind of, like, hit each other with phones.
05:00No, that wasn't us.
05:01No, it was the 40 elephants.
05:02Yeah, they were like,
05:03you need to be initiated into this gang.
05:05I almost thought that this morning you'd do that.
05:07No, no, no.
05:08No.
05:09And I do love the way that the women financially support the men.
05:12I know.
05:13I mean, I love that.
05:14Yeah, we're wicked.
05:15We are wicked.
05:16No, no, not much has changed.
05:17The detail, by the way, of this, in the background,
05:20London just felt so alive, and it felt so similar to now,
05:24but in a really lovely, nostalgic way.
05:26Did you find yourself looking around the set being like,
05:28that's so good.
05:29The set was unbelievable, wasn't it?
05:32Unreal.
05:33They built this, if you think, to be realistic and to be honest,
05:36it was a car park, do you know what I mean?
05:38It was a flat space, and within a space of maybe, what,
05:42three, four, five months, this world was built.
05:45But you could, it was an immersive, interactive set, wasn't it?
05:49Yeah.
05:50So we shot, we used every single corner, every nook and cranny on that.
05:53And that set, one of my favourite bits was,
05:57what's his name upstairs who made the booze?
05:59Yes.
06:00Jack Mack.
06:01Jack Mack.
06:02Oh, yeah.
06:03From Jack Mack's gas, you can see right across the whole square,
06:06can't you?
06:07And there's booze, was there?
06:09Yeah, but it wasn't real.
06:10Oh, no.
06:11Shame on them.
06:12But it was an amazing set, wasn't it?
06:13Yeah, no.
06:14And who took the arm home, by the way?
06:16The severed arm.
06:17Anyone take that home?
06:18Who took the severed arm home?
06:20Oh, when you have to cut his thing.
06:22Oh, dear.
06:23Oh, yeah, no.
06:24I don't think, like, I was there that day,
06:26and everyone was genuinely just kind of like...
06:29It was horrific.
06:31It was disgusting.
06:32It was disgusting.
06:33The sounds he was making.
06:35Yeah.
06:36Yeah, no, that was...
06:37Oh, guys, I loved it.
06:39I binged the whole thing.
06:40It was amazing.
06:41I want to be in your gang.
06:42I said that already.
06:43Well, you're welcome.
06:44You can be.
06:45I can't.
06:46Thanks, babe.
06:47I'm going to pop you out there.
06:48Yeah, hell yeah.
06:49Thank you so much.
06:50Have a lovely day.
06:52Thanks very much.
