00:00Let's go for a beer right now.
00:02I think you've got a plan until someone punches you in the face.
00:09Okay, so on the back of each of these biscuits, there is a question.
00:13Let's see what they want to know.
00:15Indeed. Right, I'll go first.
00:17It's pretty easy, mate.
00:18What is your favourite biscuit and why?
00:20A Tim Tan.
00:21Ooh, nice.
00:22Because it's Australian and I do everything I can to promote Australia.
00:26And it's one you can suck the middle out of that, isn't it?
00:29Like when you... it's like the chocolate...
00:31No, we don't suck out.
00:32No, fair, fair.
00:33Yeah, that might be an English thing.
00:34Oh, right.
00:35But we bite them in the traditional...
00:38So you don't dunk them?
00:40Some dunk.
00:41Some dunk, yeah.
00:43I don't dunk.
00:44No, fair.
00:46Your old trusted custard cream.
00:48The old favourite.
00:50What talent would you most like to have?
00:54Sounds crass in front of you, but I'd like to be able to play the piano really well, I think.
00:58But...
00:59It's not easy.
01:00I can teach you how to do a chord.
01:02Yeah.
01:03I can teach you now.
01:04Oh, ideal.
01:05Yeah, I mean...
01:06You only have to do that.
01:07What, as in that particular hand shape?
01:09Yeah, if you do that with your hand, like...
01:11That.
01:12Glue it or something like that for a while, and then you just do that wherever you want to go on the piano and it makes a chord.
01:17Yeah, but...
01:18And it's beautiful.
01:19All right.
01:20And, you know, I'd like to be able to juggle fire.
01:23Just because...
01:24Fucking why not?
01:25Many reasons.
01:26Yeah.
01:27Yeah.
01:28Ooh.
01:29Now, is this one of those fruity ones?
01:31Those fruity shortbreads?
01:32Or something from a past era that you're nostalgic for?
01:36Oh.
01:37In the Bunny Munro, as it stands, in this version of Bunny Munro, there seems to be this sort of timeless feel about it.
01:43Yeah.
01:44I'm not really quite sure when.
01:45I know it's supposed to be happening when...
01:46Yeah.
01:47Around when the pier burnt down.
01:48Yeah.
01:49But the way people look, the way people dress, it feels like it leaks over many eras in a way.
01:56I would agree with you.
01:57And Brighton kind of does that anyway, because it has this sort of...
02:00Yeah.
02:01...in-built nostalgia about Brighton.
02:03Yeah.
02:04Anyway, like you stay in those weird hotels and stuff like that.
02:06Yeah.
02:07Yeah, yeah.
02:08There's a sort of fairytale aspect to it, which doesn't connect to any particular time.
02:13Yeah.
02:14I love that about it.
02:15Yeah.
02:16It's gone for the shortbread.
02:17Where is one place in Brighton that you'd recommend to anyone visiting?
02:22Well, I could just...
02:23I fucking loved being in Brighton.
02:25I had the best time making this TV show.
02:27Partly because I loved being able to get in the sea every day.
02:29And what was amazing is our unit base was right by the sea on Hove Lawns.
02:32So I could do that before.
02:34Yeah.
02:35And I feel like I could...
02:36Yeah.
02:37Yeah.
02:38If you're going in in the winter, the effect is so catastrophic.
02:41Yeah.
02:42It changes everything.
02:43It's like that Mike Tyson line where, you know, you think you've got a plan until someone punches you.
02:47Punch you in the face.
02:48Yeah.
02:49It's basically the same.
02:50And your body goes into fight or flight, but that feeling after it is amazing, isn't it?
02:53Yeah.
02:54Jump in the sea.
02:55In Brighton, jump in the sea.
02:57I mean, the chocolate digestive is hard to beat.
03:00What's one song that would perfectly summarise the death of Bunny Munro?
03:04Kylie spinning around.
03:05Yeah.
03:06I'd say so.
03:07We did the score and we had some input into the songs that were actually used, the found songs.
03:14Yeah.
03:15But mostly we, in the end, handed that over to Clerkenwell because they're just amazing.
03:20I know, they're good at it.
03:21So our actual score is, I think, a secondary thing to the songs and those songs just kind
03:28of disguise or put a layer over the gravity or how actually dark things are getting in
03:34Bunny Munro because these absolutely fucked up things happen.
03:39And then you're in a car and there's this cool song going on and you're kind of back to
03:44side of it.
03:45Do you know what I mean?
03:46Yeah.
03:47They use music as a kind of wedge to sort of allow a lot of really out of order stuff to
03:54happen.
03:55And they just tart it up with kind of some jolly music and it's an amazing way to do
04:01things.
04:02It's amazing advice, yeah.
04:03A chocolate one.
04:04Bourbon.
04:05Is that what it is?
04:06Yeah.
04:07If you were to meet Bunny Munro, what would you say to him?
04:11Do you want to go for a beer?
04:13Let's go for a beer right now.
04:16That's what I'd say to him.
04:17Yeah.
04:18And I'd go and get to know him.
04:19I'd love to go for a beer with Bunny Munro.
04:21I love him, you know.
04:23And people are like, but how?
04:25Can you play a character that you just dislike or feel indifferent to?
04:29Do you know, the only character that I've ever played, that I've come away from, and
04:33felt a bit like that, that I didn't really like, was Charles Manson.
04:38I couldn't find anything to let John see.
04:39Yeah, because Charles Manson's a dick.
04:41Yeah, he is a dick, yeah.
04:43Here we go.
04:44That bombshell.
