00:00I'm Olivia Colman.
00:01And I'm Benedict Cumberbatch.
00:03And we are called...
00:05The eight.
00:06What's a Cumberbatch?
00:07Hi, I'm Olivia Colman.
00:08And I'm Benedict Cumberbatch.
00:10And we will be doing...
00:11Off the Cuff.
00:14Round one.
00:14Round one.
00:16Icebreakers.
00:17What's your biggest irrational fear?
00:19Sharks, describe your dancing in one word.
00:22Inconsistent.
00:23If you were forced to wear a costume
00:25from one of your past roles every day for a year,
00:26which one would it be?
00:27I think the black onesie thing from Roses.
00:30Great idea, it's a good costume.
00:31Last, Google search.
00:34Keep it clean, keep it clean.
00:35Hyperbaric chamber.
00:37What?
00:38Don't ask.
00:38What's your most useless but proudly held talent?
00:42That's a great question.
00:43Oh, I can do farts with my hands.
00:48What sport are you best at?
00:50Tennis.
00:51Yeah, I'd say tennis, definitely tennis.
00:54What's your biggest pet peeve?
00:55Pet peeve, people driving in the middle lane.
00:58What's your signature karaoke song?
01:00Young Americans by David Bowie, as you know.
01:03Oh.
01:04Do you remember that?
01:05Yeah, I do.
01:06Very good.
01:07He should have won a batter for his singing.
01:09For my singing, thank you.
01:10Round two.
01:11Ding, ding.
01:12What song do you currently have playing on repeat?
01:13Purple Hat, Sophie Tucker.
01:15Oh my God, I defy anyone not to want to dance to it.
01:19I will do it and I'll dance consistently if I do.
01:21What's your most useless piece of trivia knowledge?
01:24You've got loads.
01:25I've got loads.
01:26It's basically my entire knowledge base is trivia.
01:29We had a film called Roses, based on an iconic film of the 80s called War of the Roses,
01:34named after a civil war in which the roses were the Plantagenets and the Yorks.
01:40I'm pretty sure the Yorks were...
01:43Ed?
01:43You can stop now, I feel like.
01:44Okay, okay, right.
01:45That was amazing.
01:46You see, but you can say anything and he'll know.
01:49If we swap lives for a week, what's the first thing you'd do?
01:52This could be really helpful.
01:53Oh, fun!
01:54Isn't that a good question?
01:55Yeah.
01:56Are we swapping bodies as well?
01:57It has to be, yeah.
01:58Because I would totally stand up and have a wee.
01:59Okay.
02:00What would you do?
02:01I'm not going to say.
02:02Oh.
02:04What's something you're embarrassingly competitive about?
02:08Father's races at Sports Day.
02:09No, I'm not going...
02:13And then going, oh, Christ.
02:15Have you ever felt truly starstruck?
02:17I know the answer to this.
02:18Yeah.
02:18Ben Stiller.
02:19Yeah.
02:19Ben Stiller said, hey, huge fan.
02:21And I went, oh, shit!
02:23And that's all I said.
02:25And he got back in the car.
02:26I saw Serena Williams walk past me at the Oscars, I think.
02:29Yes.
02:30I swear to God, she was in slow motion with a wind machine.
02:33Amazing.
02:35She went past me.
02:36That's how I see Beyonce.
02:37Yeah.
02:37Yeah.
02:38She always has a wind machine, surely.
02:39I had a moment there as well with someone she was singing on an SNL that I did.
02:42And then suddenly, hi, Jay-Z and Beyonce standing in the wings beside me after just having...
02:48Oi!
02:49Oi!
02:50Oi!
02:51You're doing great.
02:52Oh, am I?
02:53Oh!
02:54Oh, is it me?
02:55What is your favourite book?
02:56Crikey.
02:57Where to begin?
02:58Killer Mockingbird.
02:59The Hobbits and things that I'm reading to my children.
03:02Oh, that's good.
03:03Everything by James Joyce, a lot of Dickens.
03:06Some of the Russians I haven't read, but Dossos use Crime and Punishment.
03:10Yeah.
03:11Jilly Cooper.
03:12Yeah.
03:13Every day.
03:14That's fine.
03:15That's fine.
03:16No judgement here.
03:17I thought I said something else.
03:18I know you can't...
03:19You can't say that.
03:22I know you can't.
03:23You cook well in the roses, but can you actually cook?
03:28Some things, yes.
03:29You can.
03:30I do need to follow a recipe.
03:32Yeah, like me.
03:33Yeah.
03:34I can't do that.
03:35Scientifically rigid.
03:36If I look in the fridge and there's two onions and a rubber band.
03:38What's the most absurd rumour you've ever heard about yourself?
03:41That I have a supercar collection.
03:43Really?
03:44$750 million or is it $500,000?
03:47Oh, wow.
03:48That's good.
03:49But yeah, it's a huge amount of money.
03:50That's fantastic.
03:51I saw something.
03:52Well, I didn't see it because I don't look, but someone sent me going,
03:54I didn't know you were worth 30 something million.
03:56I know, right?
03:57I don't know.
03:58Where is it?
03:59Round three.
04:00Round three.
04:01Career style questions.
04:03What's my worst habit on set?
04:05Oh, there aren't any.
04:06What happened?
04:09No.
04:10Do you want to whisper to me first?
04:12No, yeah.
04:13When I pull your finger and you fart.
04:14Oh yeah, that's good.
04:16You can pull the liver's finger sometimes and she farts.
04:19But it's not really a habit.
04:20It's more of a parlor trick.
04:21It's fun.
04:22It's an icebreaker.
04:23It's an icebreaker.
04:24Something breaker.
04:25Handbreaker.
04:26I can tell when you need it.
04:27Very, very funny.
04:28Yeah.
04:29She knows when I need to pick me up.
04:30Yeah.
04:31The finger comes.
04:32What's your worst habit?
04:33My worst habit is caving into a horrible vortex of self-doubt.
04:38Oh, that does happen.
04:39That does happen.
04:40Yes.
04:41Hence the pull my finger.
04:42Who's your favourite actor that you've worked with?
04:43I mean, Hopkins was pretty cool.
04:45Yeah.
04:46Also, David Tennant makes me laugh a lot.
04:48He's really lovely.
04:49And what about our mutual as well?
04:51The Irish one.
04:52Oh, she?
04:53Oh, yeah, yeah.
04:54Oh, you want me to?
04:55Yeah.
04:56I've completely blanked.
04:59She's going to fucking kill me next time I see her.
05:01Do you mean Jessie?
05:02I mean Jessie Barkley, yeah.
05:03Oh, right.
05:04Sorry.
05:05I'm going really red.
05:06What's your career highlight?
05:08These are difficult questions.
05:09Wow.
05:10Yeah.
05:11It's maybe, you know that first ever professional job you get?
05:13Yes.
05:14I think there's nothing better.
05:15Yes, nothing.
05:16Because you go, oh my God, I've been paid for it and it's still fun.
05:18Yeah.
05:19What was your first paid job?
05:20Bruiser, which is a sketch show.
05:22Telly.
05:23Don't telly.
05:24Already on telly.
05:25Yeah.
05:26Do you ever lie about your special skills on casting forms?
05:28Absolutely.
05:29Yeah, of course.
05:30And what's the most absurd one you've claimed?
05:33That I can breathe fire at my bottom.
05:35Wow.
05:36Has that ever proved useful in a job context?
05:39Malg.
05:40But it was all off camera.
05:41Have you ever had any accidents while filming?
05:44Yes.
05:45A few.
05:46Many.
05:47Oh, wow.
05:48Well, I had a little one on this where I sort of dived onto a sofa thinking the arm would
05:50be as soft as the rest of the soft sternal chairs on the sofa and that was a mistake.
05:53Did you put yourself in the head with a chair?
05:55Yes, on this one.
05:56Yes.
05:57So we were doing a night shoot and it was about 12 at night and I thought, what else can I
06:00really throw into this scene?
06:01I know, a plastic chair and it ricocheted off the ground straight into my face and I came
06:05back to everyone who was still schmacting away and there was a rain machine, a wind machine
06:08and everyone was going, this is great.
06:09I was going like this and going, no, I've stopped.
06:11I've really hurt myself.
06:12This egg was just kind of going like this.
06:17I was so embarrassed.
06:18Oh, I've hurt myself.
06:19I've just remembered.
06:20Go on.
06:21Well, no, Judy Whittaker hurt me.
06:22Oh, no, Judy Whittaker hurt you.
06:23Yeah.
06:24In Broadchurch.
06:25Yeah, throwing her on the bus.
06:26Judy Whittaker.
06:27Yeah, we can spell that for you if you like.
06:28She still is embarrassed about it.
06:29But filming Broadchurch and it was a huge wide, we were tiny figures in the distance,
06:35but she really went for it.
06:36And I was trying to stop her from getting to him, the actor lying over there on the beach.
06:40She was really in it.
06:41And she pushed me out of the way and sort of knocked my feet out from under me at the same
06:45time.
06:46And my knee dislocated and I fell on the floor.
06:49And I went, I'm sorry, my knee's out, my knee's out.
06:51And then everyone ran over to her because she was crying so much.
06:54They went, you okay, Judy?
06:56It's not me!
06:57I've broken Olivia!
06:59When you win something, where do you put the award?
07:02I find it embarrassing.
07:04I don't want people to come into the house and to have things around the house because
07:07they think that's a bit showy of me.
07:09So they're in a cupboard.
07:10The Oscar was in a cupboard that was damp.
07:13And our lovely handyman, Darren, said, you ought to move that.
07:18It's going to get rusty.
07:19I took it out of the damp cupboard and put it behind some books.
07:23So he's safe.
07:24He's all right.
07:25And I can go.
07:26Hello.
07:27Where is the strangest place you have been recognised?
07:30Toilets.
07:31They're the worst.
07:32Really awful.
07:33Literally with, you know, what in hand.
07:34Go on, round four.
07:35Guess the look.
07:36Where is this look from?
07:37Oh.
07:38I'll show the camera first.
07:39And then, you see that?
07:41There we go.
07:42Oh, Stella.
07:43Stella's show in Paris.
07:45You're good.
07:46Oh, I like that.
07:47I think I know where it is.
07:49I'm going to say the Serpentine Gallery.
07:52No.
07:53Oh, no, no, no.
07:54Is that not Venice?
07:55Oh, maybe it is.
07:56Yes, of course it is.
07:57That's water.
07:58I thought that was grass.
07:59I'm very short-sighted, folks.
08:00That's Venice.
08:01And I'm dressed in Richard James.
08:02Look at that.
08:03That was the first time I ever felt confident on a red carpet.
08:05Well, you look it.
08:06I think that was for a favourite.
08:08I think it might.
08:09Well, is it?
08:10In Venice.
08:11It's definitely Venice, isn't it?
08:12It could be.
08:13I basically pretended I was a superhero and that no one could hurt me.
08:16And then I had a great time.
08:17Oh, look at this.
08:19That was a very nice moment with my mum.
08:23I'm kind of going, chest out, proud.
08:25Very Mia Clara slash Michelle Williams.
08:27Oh, yeah.
08:28That's Stella, I think.
08:30It's got to be.
08:31Yeah.
08:32That was the first time I dyed my hair.
08:34I flew to LA, was very jet-lined.
08:35Woke up at 4am and then texted Marcus, my American hair chap, and said,
08:40I think I'm going to go white.
08:42You said that on the day.
08:43Yeah, and he went, okay.
08:45That's Olivia.
08:46She's a very instantaneous intuitive genius, basically.
08:49Quite fun, isn't it, though?
08:50Flying by the seat of your pants.
08:51It is, it is.
08:52Oh, look at this.
08:53Yeah.
08:54Oh.
08:55This looks like...
08:56Is this...
08:57Is that wax?
08:58It's a trick.
08:59Yes.
09:00I was going to see.
09:01That's a lot of very weird plastic surgery going on.
09:04Round five, lightning round.
09:05Lightning round.
09:06Solo trip or group trip?
09:07Group.
09:08Beans on toast or eggs and soldiers?
09:10Eggs and soldiers, definitely.
09:11Me too.
09:12Country or city?
09:13Depends.
09:14Oh, right.
09:15Interesting, sorry.
09:16Country or city for you?
09:17Country.
09:18Yeah.
09:19But then I love the city.
09:20Coffee.
09:21Tea.
09:22Every day of the week.
09:23Dry clean or washing machine?
09:24Washing machine.
09:25Novel or film?
09:26Novel.
09:27Just.
09:28I mean, that's, again, a dependent thing.
09:29Yeah.
09:30Yeah.
09:31Shopping spree or spa day?
09:32Shopping spree.
09:33Okay.
09:34Cornish or Californian crab?
09:36Oh, Cornish.
09:37I'd go for Cromer.
09:38You'd go for colour?
09:40Cromer.
09:41What's that mean?
09:42Norfolk.
09:43It's not an option.
09:44Bath or shower?
09:45Bath.
09:46Bath.
09:47Why would you shower?
09:48Morning person or night owl?
09:49Sorry.
09:50Morning person or night owl?
09:51Morning person.
09:52Night owl.
09:53Marmite or jam?
09:54Jam.
09:55Yeah.
09:56What about you?
09:57Text or call?
09:58Call.
09:59Depends.
10:00You leave a voice though.
10:01I do love a voice message.
10:02You do love a voice message.
10:03I think it's near a call.
10:04Anyway.
10:05Reality show or documentary?
10:06Reality.
10:07Documentary for them.
10:08Comedy or drama?
10:09Dramedy.
10:10Yes.
10:11Cooking versus takeout.
10:12Oh, takeaway.
10:13Cooking.
10:14Well, if I'm cooking, takeaway.
10:16Probably.
10:17Someone else is cooking.
10:18Cooking.
10:19Cooking, right.
10:20Pint of bitter or glass of wine?
10:21Yes.
10:22Pint of wine.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Or glass of bitter.
10:25Yes or no?
10:26Yes.
10:27Is that it?
10:28Okay.
10:29Oh, I see.
10:30Are you a yes person or a no person?
10:32Is that what it is?
10:33Yes or no?
10:34You know I'm much more of a yes person.
10:35Yes, me too.
10:36Which is probably a downfall.
10:37No.
10:38No.
10:39You're saying no now.
10:40That's good.
10:41Okay.
10:42Hi.
10:43We've been Olivier.
10:44And Benedict.
10:45And we very much enjoyed doing the Vogue.
