00:00I just work because I want to, not because I have to, because of the economy or anything.

00:04Come on, Donna.

00:05Come on, Donna.

00:06Help me out of the car.

00:07I have a sixth sense about people.

00:11Now I'm afraid.

00:13It's so nice of me.

00:14And what a great film to be a part of.

00:18And with all the respect in the world, the legends that you are on screen with,

00:22what's it like to be the youngsters on this set?

00:26Quite like you said that, I'm 47.

00:27Yeah, I'm, I don't tell you my age.

00:30My birthday's tomorrow and I do not feel young anymore.

00:34So it was actually really nice.

00:36We were the youngest members of the class.

00:38God, I still love it.

00:40Was it cool though to hang out with these guys?

00:43Even when the cameras weren't rolling?

00:45What were you getting up to?

00:46It's so cool.

00:47I mean, it's just, I can't even remember specific conversations,

00:50but every time I got to sit down with them and just talk about their lives, my lives,

00:54share stuff, like, I was like, this is like a dream.

00:58I had, like, I went to drama school.

01:00I've got a lot of mates from drama school.

01:01I remember, like, texting one of them and being like, yeah, I'm just, it was lunchtime.

01:05I'm just chilling with Helen.

01:06Oh my God.

01:06She was like, Helen who?

01:07I was like, Dame Helen.

01:09The Dame.

01:12I think we all had those moments where you'd, like, you know, you'd talk to Piers about,

01:16you know, when he played James Bond or all of the iconic stage roles that Helen's played.

01:22The first thing I went to Ben Kingsley was like, can you just do a Don Logan impression

01:26from Sexy Beast?

01:28Did he do it?

01:29A little bit of it.

01:30It took me everything throughout the whole shoot not to ask him to do it again.

01:33I actually started talking to Piers about the Thomas Crown affair.

01:36Oh yeah, what a movie.

01:38I love Piers.

01:39Like, I was saying, I just, I spoke to him and I was like, I get such dad vibes from him.

01:43Because even, like, when I interviewed him for the last thing, and I was just about turned

01:4740, and he was like, it's okay, breathe.

01:50He's like, breathe in, breathe out.

01:52It's going to be okay.

01:53Right?

01:54Like, he was exactly, exactly that guy.

01:56But obviously, you two are playing, like, police detective, you know.

02:00What are your actual sleuthing skills like?

02:02Like, if I gave you, like, a picture of a guy I was dating, and you're like, can you

02:06find out stuff?

02:06How would you do?

02:08I mean, I'd do quite well, because I've played so many policemen over my career.

02:12I'm sure I've got a few contacts somewhere I could sort you right out.

02:15Don't worry.

02:16The thing is, I wouldn't be good on the Googling stuff.

02:18Right.

02:18But, if you set up, like, a meeting for me to talk to him, I'd be able to tell you

02:23everything about the inner world of that man.

02:24So you're a good interrogator.

02:26I'm very good at, like, interrogating, but also, like, catching, like, the vibe of a person.

02:31Okay.

02:31Body language and all that.

02:33Yeah, yeah.

02:33I'm like, ooh, I've got a bad feeling about this one.

02:35Oh, I need you around.

02:38Babe, seriously.

02:39Because my love life's tragic.

02:40I need to send you in and be like, can you?

02:42I have a sick sense about people.

02:44Love this.

02:45Now I'm afraid.

02:47Now I'm worried.

02:48Good advice for Daniel.

02:50Oh, no.

02:50Amazing advice for him.

02:51How many more movies we gotta do?

02:55Obviously, this is Thursday Murder Club.

02:57Great club to be in.

02:58Wicked club.

02:59Taking it back to when you were at school, were you ever in any clubs then?

03:03Because I was in some really nerdy little clubs.

03:05I was in a nerdy one.

03:06At school, yeah.

03:06Yeah.

03:07What were the clubs?

03:08I was in a sewing, you know that thing when you do, like, a sewing group thing?

03:10We did that.

03:11Did you ever sew?

03:11Yeah.

03:12You did pottery as well.

03:13I did pottery and I was a member of the tap dancing.

03:16You were so handsome.

03:17I did theater.

03:19Okay.

03:19That's boring.

03:20And very nerdy.

03:21Like drama club.

03:21Drama club.

03:22And also, steel pan.

03:24I was in a steel pan band.

03:25Were you?

03:26Yeah.

03:27Let's bring it in.

03:28And it was good.

03:31We used to play classical music on steel pans.

03:34Can you imagine?

03:34I'm gutted.

03:35I haven't got anything.

03:36I really used to play them now.

03:36Yeah.

03:37No, I used to be really good at rolling.

03:39Wow.

03:40Great.

03:40All the others would go, what's that noise down the corridor?

03:43Yeah.

03:44No, it's a racket.

03:45And listen, if retirement looks like this, I'm in.

03:49I'm in.

03:50But, like, for you guys, I don't know if you thought about it.

03:53Like, what does retirement look like for you?

03:55I don't think I'm going to retire.

03:56You're going to be like these guys.

03:58I want to be like these guys.

03:59Do you know there's a retirement home called Denville Hall for actors?

04:03No, there's not.

04:04I am not lying.

04:05Is it not?

04:05It's a real place.

04:07When I was at drama school in the first year, you go and you do carol singing.

04:12It's called Denville Hall.

04:13It's just full of, like, thespians.

04:16I don't know if I could take that.

04:17I don't know.

04:18I like to be one of the only actors in the room.

04:22I like a lot of drama.

04:23Can you leave?

04:24I know you want to be the only actor in the room.

04:25They all argue with each other who got each other to us and all that sort of stuff.

04:29I feel like, genuinely, I can't see myself retiring.

04:33I'd love it to be that, like, I just work because I want to.

04:37Not because I have to, because of the economy or anything.

04:40But I would love to think that, like, when I'm, like, 88, 90, that I'm just, like, someone

04:49says, like, no, do you want to play, like, a wizard or something?

04:52And I'm, like, yeah, I want to play.

04:52I think we're going to be playing these roles through, like, Thursday Motor Club 16.

04:56Right.

04:56Like, there it is.

04:57Come on, Donna.

04:58Come on, Donna.

04:59Help me get a car.

05:01And I would love to see it.

05:02I will sit there and I will watch them.

05:04Amen.

05:04Oh.

05:06Great job with this one, guys.

05:07Thank you so much.

05:08Thank you for bringing the fun.

05:10I know why you're nearly 40.

05:15I didn't think so.

05:16I'm already 40.

05:17What are you doing?

05:18What are you doing?

05:19Happy birthday for tomorrow.

05:20But you can't beat your way.

05:21You're living.
