00:00I find it a little bit gendered, the idea of hatred towards gossip
00:04because I think it's a lot of the time associated with women having a natter
00:07and it not being a positive thing.
00:09Oh, it's so nice to always be reunited with you guys.
00:12Luke, is it nice to have the pressure off you this season?
00:15It is a really nice place to sit, yeah.
00:18And even nice now, being able to experience it, like...
00:21What a random pairing.
00:24Like, in the best way, it's so much fun.
00:26So, yeah, I'm really having a good time.
00:28Yeah, I did think when I got my parents, I was like, oh, Luke's in there with the girls.
00:31I was like, that's great. One of us girls.
00:34That's what you want. Everyone wants to be one of the girls.
00:37I feel like some of the best stories come from crashing parties
00:40and obviously Sophie starts by crashing the masquerade ball.
00:44Have any of you guys ever crashed a party?
00:46No, I'm mostly avoiding them, if I'm completely honest.
00:50Yeah, no, I'm desperate. I'm hoping I'm not getting invited.
00:52You can barely go to the ones you're over.
00:54Yeah, exactly. These guys have given up now.
00:56They're so sweet with me, though. They'll be like, Claudia, we know,
00:59but we always want to make sure you feel involved.
01:01But we know, but it's fine. It's so cute. Thanks, guys.
01:04Yeah.
01:05I think I have.
01:06You crashed a party. I don't know that I'm cool enough to crash a party.
01:09Whose party would you really love to go to, then?
01:11Like, if you'd go to any party?
01:13Doesn't Jonathan Ross have a Halloween party?
01:15Yes.
01:16That is, like, quite, yeah, mega.
01:18You could get an invite for that.
01:19Get an invite, actually, yeah.
01:20I feel like that was a plant.
01:21Doesn't it?
01:22Jonathan!
01:23Jonathan!
01:24I'm almost certain you got an invite.
01:26I don't know, I don't know.
01:28I'm trying to think of parties, yeah, I don't know.
01:30The Met Gala.
01:31I'm cool, man. I'm good.
01:32Oh, my God.
01:33Yeah, Claudia's really like, I'm out.
01:34I'm out.
01:35I'm out.
01:36Big commitment, I imagine.
01:38Please never change.
01:39I think I say this every time.
01:41I'm just like, I completely adore you.
01:43I feel like you're my spirit animal.
01:44Yeah.
01:45I feel like you're mine!
01:46Oh, this is great.
01:48Was it when I saw you?
01:50Obviously, there's very much a Cinderella theme to this season.
01:54Yeah.
01:55If there were any other fairy tales that you think would lend themselves really well to a Bridgerton story,
01:59what would you think would be good?
02:01I don't know why Hansel and Gretel came to my mind.
02:03That's hilarious.
02:04I don't know how we'd do that, would we?
02:05Or like...
02:06Tangle, because like...
02:07Yeah.
02:08Also, Francesca's a little bit like...
02:09She won't leave.
02:10Yeah, yeah.
02:11Great.
02:12She's built her way up.
02:13She's like, try and get in.
02:14Yeah.
02:15I'm happy with that.
02:16That's a great one.
02:17That is good.
02:18That's great.
02:19Your time's coming around.
02:20We'll do Tangled for you.
02:21You've had your turn, but any other...
02:23How could we make Hansel and Gretel work?
02:25Why did it come to my head?
02:26I can't even remember.
02:27You could be dropping the crumbs and Colin can be...
02:28That's perfect for me.
02:29A lump of cheese for Colin.
02:30Because it's about time we switch it up.
02:32Yeah.
02:33It's like, you can only do romance for so long.
02:35Yeah, exactly.
02:36It's like, it needs something new.
02:37Obviously, now we obviously know who Lady Whistledown is, but the gossip continues.
02:40Yeah.
02:41Are you a fan of like, office gossip?
02:43Gossip has been forever, right?
02:45I think there's a...
02:46Obviously, there's a...
02:47We villainize gossip in quite a way, but I also find it a little bit...
02:51I find it a little bit gendered, the idea of hatred towards gossip.
02:55Because I think it's a lot of the time associated with women having a natter and it not being a positive thing.
03:00But I think most of us have only gotten to like, understanding of things through kind of going,
03:04Oh, I felt a bit weird about this thing.
03:05Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:06And it's like, it's actually just hell.
03:08And obviously, like anything, there's a negative side to loads of things, but it's been happening since the dawn of time.
03:14And we're only, we're just so fascinated by ourselves, I think, that when you hear like, also, who doesn't want to hear that office part?
03:21You're like, guess who, guess who hooked up?
03:22And you'll be like, what?
03:24I want to hear.
03:25I do want to hear it.
03:26I want to hear it.
03:27I wish there was a real gossip rag from the set of Rustian.
03:30Oh, wow.
03:31I can't believe we've not done that.
03:32We could have sold it.
03:34Yeah.
03:35There's not much juicy stuff that's going on.
03:37No, I know.
03:38We're all in.
03:39People would be like, it's sickeningly nice.
03:41Yeah.
03:42It's just like, yeah.
03:43Gross.
03:44Yeah.
03:45I'm always glad to see you guys back together again in the show, doing this.
03:49Yeah.
03:50You guys are just my favorites.
03:51Yeah.
03:52We love you as well.
03:53We love whenever Simon gets to you.
03:54We've been doing this since season one.
03:55Come on.
03:56We're still there.
03:57Get in.
03:58And you and I have been doing this since you were a child.
04:00The Disney days.
04:01That is mad.
04:02I know.
04:03That's crazy.
04:04I was on a kid show and I do think you interviewed us for that, but we barely did anything.
04:08It was like a Nickelodeon, finally embarrassed thing.
04:10Yes.
04:11Wow.
04:12Last season I remember when you walked in I was like...
04:14Yeah.
04:15Oh my god.
04:16I've literally been talking to you all since you were a kid.
04:18We need to find another connection.
04:19A child.
04:20Yeah.
04:21Yeah, since you were a kid.
04:22Let's find something.
04:23When I had no interest in acting.
04:24Yeah.
04:25There's a way.
04:26We used to hang out.
04:27Yeah, that's right.
04:28We used to play out.
04:29Great.
04:30Nice to see you guys.
04:31Nice to see you.
04:34See you then.
04:35Bye both.
