00:00This is going to be a quick way of the bus.

00:08Can we get over here? Is that okay?

00:10Yeah, let me just...

00:16So Gary, if you can just hold it up a little bit.

00:30The ceremony was emotional. I was more emotional than I anticipated.

00:42Because it's not something you can rehearse for.

00:45It's, you know, it is what it is and it's in the moment.

00:50But the sort of preamble to it was exciting.

00:55And then when I finally was in front of His Royal Highness,

01:01I was losing my voice a little.

01:04I was quite, sort of, quite emotional with it.

01:09I'm honoured and deeply flattered and humbled, I think, in equal measure.

01:17You know, it's just an extraordinary, extraordinary day.

01:22That's good. And just hold it up. Thank you very much.

01:32Well, currently, I'm playing Jackson Lamb in the Slow Horses series, hence my scruff.

01:39I have Jackson Lamb hair. The only thing I can do with it is put it up.

01:44I have a tummy as well.

01:52So I carry him really everywhere I go now for the last five years.

02:00In fact, His Royal Highness said to me, he said,

02:04When I watched the horses, he said, I just want to give you a good walk.

02:12I said, well, hopefully I've scrubbed up fine today.

02:16We're a team today.

02:17Oh, you're a team today? I wondered if you were a duo, you know, that did this together a lot.

02:24I do join a long line, a great many of them, a generation maybe above me or even two generations above me.

02:38Many of them I have admired and have been inspired by.

02:46And now I hang in that hall of fame next to a great many of them.

02:58I feel deeply honoured and very privileged, yeah, very lucky, diabolically lucky.

03:10And they're hand in hand, talent and luck in this crazy business, yeah.

03:19So I feel very, I feel very blessed today.

03:22Perfect. And then, sorry, just towards me, sorry, I'm so sorry.

03:27Thank you very much, appreciate it.

03:29Thank you so much.

03:43So nice to see you.
