00:00Why am I shy?
00:01I'm so shy.
00:03Oh, no. Oh, no.
00:09This is fun to make us watch this.
00:11It's not torture at all.
00:14We're waiting for Lady Penelope.
00:16She has been summoned.
00:17Summoned by the Queen.
00:18And the Queen is like,
00:20Tick-tock, where is she?
00:21I asked for her two seconds ago.
00:23Where is she?
00:25You have only just sent for her, Your Majesty.
00:29That little Pomeranian.
00:30I literally was just thinking,
00:31I'm so jealous of that Pomeranian.
00:32So cute.
00:32That was only a baby doggy.
00:34He was very cuddly.
00:34I got a picture with him.
00:35But Golda does a very smart thing
00:37where she hands him off quite quickly to Hugh.
00:39They like it for a bit,
00:40and then they get bored.
00:41There he is. He's gone.
00:41Oh, ass to camera.
00:43Doggy. Dog's ass.
00:43Dog's ass to camera.
00:45This lovely gentleman, he got my name wrong.
00:47That lovely boy.
00:49Oh, bless his heart.
00:50He got it wrong, didn't he?
00:51He called me Lady some other name,
00:52and we all got really bad giggles.
00:54It was very funny.
00:55There she is.
00:55There she comes, the big P.
00:56That's a beautiful shot of you walking down.
00:58Oh, thank you.
00:59She's got a long way to walk.
01:01A long way.
01:01It's a great shot.
01:03We love this shot.
01:04Look at that light she bows into.
01:06Yum.
01:07You are late.
01:08You have only just sent for me, Your Majesty.
01:10Late!
01:10My deepest apologies.
01:13Yes, you better apologize.
01:15I really love Golda,
01:16so I feel very lucky to get to her shot with her a lot this season.
01:20We begin another season.
01:22This time is great friends.
01:24And it shall stay that way.
01:26I shall die.
01:27I shall certainly try.
01:29I think Penelope's actually quite stressed by your friendship with the Queen.
01:31I think you seem stressed.
01:33I think I would be stressed if I was in that position.
01:36I should like a full taste before your first issue is distributed today.
01:40What's on the back of your wig, Golda?
01:42Feathers.
01:43Oh, lovely.
01:43Everybody looks gorgeous.
01:44Tomorrow night the social season shall begin, but things might look a little different.
01:49No, no, no.
01:50Mrs. Bridgerton, you must begin how it begins.
01:54This was makes me laugh.
01:55It's like reading a kid's storybook and they went,
01:57Oh, the proper voices!
01:58Yeah, yeah.
02:00Dearest gentle reader.
02:03I think that's the only time I say dearest gentle reader.
02:06That could be completely wrong.
02:07I started sweating when I just said that because I'm like, I don't know if that's true.
02:13Benedict is late to his mother's masquerade ball.
02:16He doesn't really want to go, but he does come along.
02:18That is where he meets this lady in silver.
02:22I love this bit because when in your life do you actually get to do love at first sight?
02:26Do you know what I mean?
02:26It doesn't really happen.
02:28Stories is the only time where it really happens like that.
02:31See, this is cool because I know you weren't sure about this bit.
02:35No.
02:35You weren't sure about looking at a chandelier for ages.
02:38I actually really remember this from the book.
02:39He says, you know, he just sees a person who can't stop smiling.
02:42Yeah.
02:42I did so many takes of that.
02:45And keep looking at the chandelier.
02:46And Tom was like, smile more.
02:48And I was like, ah, ah, ah.
02:51Could I trouble you for the next dance?
02:53Uh, sir, you see, I would love to, but I have misplaced my dance card.
02:59Putting that dance card in my glove was a real skill.
03:04Lord Napier, forgive me for interrupting.
03:05I have just found this young lady's dance card.
03:09But unfortunately, my name is up next.
03:12That is true.
03:14What is your name?
03:15Why did you rescue me?
03:17It is rare to see someone beaming with joy at one of these things.
03:22It is positively spilling out of you.
03:24There you go.
03:24Remember when I laughed at that?
03:25You couldn't take it seriously, could you?
03:27Spilling out of you.
03:29Yes, the line.
03:29What is the line?
03:30Spilling out of you.
03:31And that's when you laughed for the first time.
03:34And you went, come on now.
03:36And I went.
03:36And because Yeren didn't know me very well, I think she thought, oh no, he's a really serious,
03:41like, po-faced actor.
03:41I thought you were so serious.
03:42What it was, was I was finding it funny.
03:45And I was like, we can't go there.
03:46Because if we go there, you're not getting me back.
03:49Are you sure you would not prefer for me to fetch him for you?
03:51You've had to fetch him for me one too many times these last months, John.
03:55Perhaps if he is awakened from his inebriated slumber by the face of his mother, he will learn to be
03:59on time for once.
04:00Benedict has stopped kind of being part of the family in a way.
04:04He doesn't turn up for any events.
04:06I realize that he's in his bachelor lodgings.
04:09And I've gone to go and collect him.
04:11I've had a night.
04:12He certainly has.
04:14We're about to find out exactly what that consisted of.
04:17I assure you I have often witnessed Benedict's disarray.
04:20Move!
04:24Why is the chairs on? I mean, what's happened in this place?
04:26I don't know. What have you been up to?
04:28I know, I know. I always, it's like, have they had a fight?
04:32And they've just gone a little bit tired now.
04:35Yeah.
04:36His bachelor lodgings are a f***ing mess.
04:39I love that.
04:40It's probably quite smelly in that room, I should imagine.
04:43I feel like I've donated my band to Bridgerton.
04:46It actually belongs to them now.
04:48Copyright.
04:49Nice.
04:49Please, please, please.
04:50Oh, that is so bright.
04:54Oh, dear.
04:55It's a disaster.
04:56Violet's really scandalized.
04:58She has certainly known that Anthony has had taken a lover before he met Kate.
05:02In the show we talk about reformed Drake's being the very best of husbands.
05:06But you're really not getting the point.
05:07No.
05:08And you're dragging your heels.
05:09So she is really quite scandalized.
05:11And his house is a mess.
05:14I'm disappointed.
05:16Looking for me, I hope.
05:20It is certainly a pleasant surprise to find you.
05:24She does a lot of nervous laughter.
05:26So do I.
05:28Do you think all the other guests have gone to the toilet at this moment?
05:30Because there's only us.
05:31The universe.
05:32The gods parted the way.
05:34I've got like a butterfly on my face.
05:37Very good.
05:37See you there.
05:38Yes.
05:39Lord Anderson.
05:40Thank you for attending.
05:42Pleasure to be had, Lady Bridgerton.
05:44Mm.
05:45Yeah, you got the taste now, didn't you?
05:49It's sexy because we could get caught.
05:52Yes.
05:52There are people around.
05:53It is a very clear transition into the next phase of their relationship.
05:57I think Violet's taken by surprise.
05:59Mm.
05:59The heat that he brings.
06:02I have been meaning to speak with you.
06:05First of all, amazing costume.
06:07Amazing.
06:08Oh, yeah.
06:09Beautiful.
06:09This whole ball was spectacular.
06:12It was.
06:13I'm considering playing less of a part in society this year.
06:19I have been really interested in society and to our young couples, and I have enjoyed it deeply.
06:25I would like to leave at the end of this season.
06:29Of course, you and I shall write, and I will be back for visits, but I am leaving for a
06:36time.
06:40No.
06:44Dang.
06:45Okay.
06:45Oh, well.
06:46I was wondering, because I did it different ways.
06:48I was wondering which one they would choose.
06:50Yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:50It's funny, and it's a complete denial of, I'm not going to, I'm not going to feelings.
06:54Yeah, exactly.
07:03It's funny.
07:03Benedict has met the lady in silver at the ball and was struck by her, and then he asked her
07:09to dance, and she doesn't really know how to dance.
07:12I believe I still owe you a dance lesson.
07:14That's such a nice shot.
07:16It just looks like an old romantic film.
07:18First, we bow.
07:22It's really nice that we just got to do a big, long scene like this.
07:27It felt like doing a theater play.
07:29Yeah.
07:29Yeah.
07:29Well, and also that, you know, this is in episode one.
07:32Episode one, they meet, and they essentially fall for each other.
07:35One, two, three.
07:40Why?
07:41I don't have anything to say.
07:42I just really enjoy watching her.
07:43I just think it's really cute.
07:44I feel like we're just like, just really enjoying watching.
07:47We're just like, look how good we are.
07:49This is a lovely bit from the book as well.
07:51Oh, oh, forgive me.
07:53Do not worry.
07:54No.
07:54Used to cleaning.
07:55Yeah, I know.
07:56It's the cleaning instinct.
07:58She is taking it in.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Like, she's so present in that moment.
08:02Yeah.
08:04Look at that.
08:07Look at that.
08:09You look amazing.
08:09Yeah.
08:10How am I meant to call on you tomorrow?
08:15That will not be possible.
08:17Oh.
08:17Oh.
08:18Oh.
08:20We should not.
08:23We should not what?
08:29It's quite nice that their first kiss, usually, you know,
08:32is a bit more delayed.
08:33Yeah.
08:34That kiss.
08:34But there it happens in episode one.
08:36They are in a completely fantastic context,
08:39which is partly why it's so romantic.
08:44He's taking the glove off her.
08:46That's something you only get to practice on Bridgerton, I think.
08:48Taking a glove off.
08:49Totally.
08:50So smooth.
08:52Please tell me your name.
08:56There you go.
08:57What does it mean?
08:58Midnight.
08:59Well, it is midnight.
09:01Time for everyone to reveal themselves, including you at last.
09:05I must go.
09:06My...
09:07My shepherd will be looking for me.
09:09Please do not leave.
09:11Do it.
09:11Do it.
09:12Do it.
09:13This is a lovely one.
09:14Because it's such a surprise.
09:16There are lots of nice surprises.
09:18Yeah.
09:18In this...
09:19This storyline, I think.
09:24Wait.
09:24Remember when my shoe came off as I was running up those steps for the first time?
09:27Yerin had to do a take and she was running back to get to her position in order to be
09:31able to start the scene.
09:33And she tripped.
09:34And one of her shoes...
09:36Two shoes.
09:36Two shoes.
09:37Well, that's not the same.
09:38I remember when I was like, oh my god, it's like a Cinderella story.
09:41But it is.
09:43I always like to look at what people are doing in the background.
09:46Oh, great.
09:47Good to know I've done my job.
09:50I think Eloise here is trying to convince mum that no blokes are interested in her.
09:56There he is, our leading man.
09:57It was one of those moments where you had to walk towards us.
09:59And you had to do that walk quite a few times.
10:01You know when sometimes you forget how to walk?
10:03Sure.
10:04One through the other and I...
10:07Yeah.
10:08My.
10:10You look so handsome.
10:12You sound surprised.
10:13What she means to say is she's surprised to see you out of bed before noon.
10:17Eloise knows that you're... it's a root.
10:19And Violet's just gone off to...
10:21Not quite.
10:22Well...
10:22She's just gone to have a chat.
10:24We must find the owner of this glove.
10:25Why ever do you have a lady's glove?
10:28Because a lady lost it.
10:30I would like to return it to her.
10:31Do not mention it to mother, by the way.
10:33Eloise has always been the person to whom he's told everything.
10:36And this is probably the first time in the series that we see him sort of half lie to her
10:41or keep something from her.
10:42Because he basically says, no, no, no, I'm not.
10:44I just want to find a glove.
10:45Uh, no.
10:46I've got a glove.
10:48I just need the full set.
10:50I just need the full set.
10:50It's killing me.
10:52I just need the full set.
10:54Good day, though.
10:55That was a fun time.
10:56We did have a nice time on that scene.
10:58We did.
10:58I can get my lines out.
11:00There's something about Bridgerton lines that are so full of consonants.
11:04More consonants than sense.
11:07Yeah.
11:08Sometimes you feel that you're on the edge of a line and you are just going, ha, ha, ha,
11:13and you can feel it happening.
11:14But there was one bit during that scene where you went, so you're going,
11:18Flair is, friend.
11:19And then Ruth, because you just decided to just not say the word.
11:24But then I pissed myself.
11:24It's actually my turn point to that, but yeah.
11:26You did, literally went, and then it's like, Flair is, friend.
11:29And then I obviously went, and started laughing, but then Ruth just plowed on through.
11:34Ruth absolutely barreled on through.
11:37Like, Benedict, yes, please, I would start with Baron Henderson.
11:44Posey is sitting with Benedict Bridgerton, who has just come to court who he believes
11:49is the woman in silver that he met at the masquerade ball.
11:52My hands became feet, and I was forced to walk across the stage with my feet hands.
11:57Everyone in the audience laughed.
11:59He's, like, so unentertained by me.
12:01That is why I can no longer attend the theater.
12:04That is enough, Posey.
12:05It's like he's talking to a child.
12:07It's like he's talking to a little baby.
12:09Oh, look at you.
12:09You're so innocent.
12:10Yeah, I know.
12:11So pure.
12:14The Sophie seeing Benedict being really kind to Posey highlights the person that he is.
12:20This amazing human being from the inside out.
12:23I would love to hear about the costume you wore for the masquerade.
12:27She was a mermaid.
12:31Ah, so you were not wearing silver.
12:33Look at you, you wicked, wicked villain.
12:39Yeah.
12:39Wow, your, like, Sydney Opera House hair really adds to the drama.
12:43Sydney Opera House hair.
12:45Is that a lady's glove?
12:47What is he looking at?
12:50It was so hard to keep a straight face when you did that.
12:53I remember Joffre was, like, really go for it.
12:56Like, really, really bang your head in there.
12:57But I don't think anyone can naturally just do that without it being an accident.
13:01So I kept sort of trying to shove my head into the glass.
13:07He was like, just really, really go for it.
13:09So then I did.
13:10And we watched in slow motion as I hit the glass and it fell out of the whatever socket that
13:18it was in.
13:22She is processing.
13:23Your eyebrows.
13:24She's figured it out.
13:25Would you try these on?
13:27I know how much you love the little luxuries of society.
13:31No, thank you, my lady.
13:33It was not a suggestion.
13:34You're so mean in this.
13:35Oh, thank you.
13:37There were a couple of times when I walked into this room as, you know, they shouted action.
13:41And I don't know if you remember, but I tripped over the carpet.
13:44I do remember that.
13:46Yeah, and I was trying to, like, maintain this really high stairs.
13:54A perfect fit.
13:56I'm as surprised as you.
13:57It was you.
13:59You marked my silver shoes.
14:01You slipped into the masquerade wall.
14:03Do not insult me by denying it.
14:06She's obviously threatened.
14:07Oh, very.
14:09Actually, I do remember, like, getting really emotional when I was watching you.
14:16Oh, really?
14:16Yeah.
14:17And I had to obviously hold it to keep it together because, you know, the moment on.
14:21I have served you every whim all these years without wages, without complaint.
14:25I have provided you with protection.
14:26You look so angry.
14:28Do I?
14:29Yeah.
14:29In such a great way.
14:31I've, like, never seen your face move like that.
14:34Actually.
14:35Yeah, because in real life you're like...
14:37Yeah.
14:37Hi.
14:39You are dismissed.
14:41And you will never work again in Mayfair.
14:44I will make sure of it.
14:46Araminta's ultimate goal is to have her daughters married off.
14:50Given the chance, Sophie would be the belle of the ball.
14:54So that just ultimately means that it would lessen the chances for her daughters to be married off.
14:59You will not go.
15:00I forbid it.
15:01You cannot forbid me.
15:03I can.
15:04It's a panic.
15:05It's like a, you know, a child that has, you know, had their toy taken away from them.
15:11It's like that little tantrum thing.
15:12I am your queen.
15:15So I am merely your subject?
15:18You are my subject.
15:22I understand.
15:24When the Charlotte and Agatha dynamic becomes the queen and Lady Danbury, Danbury goes,
15:31OK, if I'm your subject, then here comes the barrier coming, the shutters coming down.
15:35I will just be your subject.
15:37I think when you see that friendship ebbing away, that reveals the friendship again.
15:42I am sorry.
15:49I did not mean it.
15:50I am sorry.
15:52Charlotte apologizes in that moment.
15:54I think out of desperation of losing her friend and knowing that you've hurt them.
15:59She's beginning to listen.
16:01She's beginning to hear what her friend is asking.
16:04Agatha, you cannot leave me here all alone.
16:10What happens when he dies?
16:12You can see how deep the friendship is.
16:15The friendship has to be stronger than the subject.
16:17Which means that your apology provokes Danbury to say, I'm not, I won't go anywhere.
16:23I'll stay.
16:23Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:29Swing scene.
16:30Yay!
16:30Yeah, here we are.
16:31I love these so much.
16:32It was freezing.
16:33It was absolutely freezing.
16:35I have about approximately 47 heat patches across my body.
16:40Oh, yeah.
16:40I have, yeah, I think I did.
16:42No, no, I was just thinking.
16:43I had like one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
16:47Probably another six on my back.
16:48I've not seen much of you.
16:50It took you long enough to notice.
16:51Louise.
16:52You realize you were cast out of the clubhouse?
16:54Was I in a club?
16:55We were.
16:56Yeah, she's upset.
16:57She's upset.
16:58I thought we would be unyielding together with regard to marriage, but you've crossed over to the other side.
17:05Oh, I am not getting married any time soon.
17:07But you wanted to.
17:09You feel a bit sorry for yourself in this scene, don't you?
17:11Yes.
17:11I think Eloise is doing sort of a bit of the same.
17:13Yeah, yeah.
17:14She's upset.
17:15She's trying to make light of it and being like, you're out of the clubhouse.
17:19Yes.
17:19She can see that you actually have interest in the glove lady.
17:21Yes.
17:22No, you're right, yeah.
17:23Why would she not?
17:24You and I both know I am not the Bridgerton anyone should give their heart to.
17:29The unserious one, the rake, the free spirit.
17:35Yeah.
17:35Then you rhyme.
17:36You ready for it?
17:37No.
17:38I think I need to clear my head.
17:39I think I should go out.
17:40Oh, I sense a drinking bout.
17:42I think I should go out.
17:44I sense another drinking bout.
17:45I'm running late.
17:46I should not.
17:47I really struggled with it every time.
17:48Yeah, that's right.
17:50I'm saying, don't leave me with mum because she's got plans for me and I don't like it.
17:54And you're like, mum might surprise you.
17:55He's sort of saying, I feel like I need to grow up and maybe we have to grow out of
18:00this.
18:01Do you think Benedict's sort of going, we're done on the swings?
18:05That was my line that they cut.
18:07We're done on the swings.
18:08Yeah.
18:08This swing thing is finished.
18:16Unbend a little.
18:18You found too solemn for such a pretty thing.
18:20Benedict has gone on a whole journey of trying to find a lady in silver.
18:24And so he goes on a massive bender.
18:26He does.
18:26And he finds himself at Cavender House.
18:29Which is some sort of frat party, basically.
18:31You did look really rough.
18:33Like, as in, they make up, with makeup.
18:36No, no, no, no, no.
18:37You look perfect.
18:38I spend a lot of time.
18:39I spend a lot of time in this show looking very tired.
18:43I think I look better tired.
18:44I actually do.
18:45Look at that punch.
18:47Yeah.
18:47Now the punch.
18:48And look at that trip.
18:50There's not much, not much is made of, like, she's actually properly hits the deck.
18:55She's like, everyone's like, oh, Benedict's wound.
18:58But what about, yeah, Sophie?
19:02Enough!
19:03Enough!
19:04This is one of those moments that's quite cool, I think.
19:06Because you never see Benedict get angry.
19:09No.
19:10He's so, like, easy a lot of the time.
19:13You don't really get to see him giving it to someone by barrels.
19:16Yeah.
19:16Yeah.
19:17We shall never touch her.
19:19Because she no longer works here.
19:21We're really kind of getting into the nitty gritty world of what it was like to be a maid at
19:26the time.
19:26It's like a green flag moment for Benedict being like, even though she is someone from the lower class.
19:30Yeah.
19:31You can't treat anyone like that.
19:33Mr. Bridgerton.
19:38Forgive me, but do we know one another?
19:41That is a punch to the stomach.
19:43I think it's interesting that he doesn't recognize her.
19:46It is like some sort of blindness.
19:48Like, I think he sees a maid and he doesn't connect the two, the lady and silver and the maid,
19:52which feels very Benedict, like not being able to connect dream and reality.
19:58Benedict, when he had a fight with Philip Cavender, fell on a bottle, gets a fever in the night from
20:03the wound
20:03and sort of loses his marbles a bit from being cold.
20:06Sophie wakes up and hears the noises and comes into his room.
20:10That's one of those easy days on set.
20:12Was it?
20:12Well, where you just get to lie down.
20:14Oh, for you, yeah.
20:16Meanwhile, me, I had to be like, oh, yeah, I know how to fix a wound.
20:22I knew how to fix a wound back in 1830.
20:25Oh, yeah, this thing was stressing me out because, you know, she has to be nimble.
20:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, she has to know what to do.
20:32Yeah.
20:32Oh, bit of skin.
20:33Oh, look away.
20:34Oh, all right.
20:36Oh, she's a bit shy.
20:37Look at the glisten.
20:38Look at the sweat.
20:40I know.
20:40That was sprayed on.
20:42It had to be basted like a turkey.
20:48Do not leave me.
20:51Do not leave me again.
20:55My lady.
20:57He's sort of delusional or sort of like in a dream and with his eyes closed,
21:01but then talking to you, but obviously he thinks he's talking to the lady in silver.
21:04Yeah.
21:04It's just one of those moments where you're like, oh, I hope this sort of-
21:07Works.
21:07Works, but yeah.
21:08Ends up well and it is.
21:09It's kind of cool.
21:10An elegantly laid table can be just as important to the success of your dinner as the guests who have
21:14been invited.
21:15The reason I'm even there-
21:16Yeah.
21:16Is because mum has gone-
21:34Go, go, go, go.
21:37Finishing lessons.
21:38Finishing lessons.
21:39It is imperative to know the rank of each guest beforehand.
21:42Look at all of this stuff.
21:43Look at this, right?
21:44Most lines she's ever had in the show.
21:46She's got to deal with these little tassels, guys.
21:48It was intense.
21:49The colours.
21:49I'm mugging you off the whole time.
21:51Yeah, you're having a great time.
21:52I'm called stiff.
21:53Look at this.
21:53She couldn't care less.
21:55You weren't even acting, mate.
21:56Yeah.
21:56I was just getting ready for lunch.
22:00Well, at least the spinsters get to be the flashy silver tassel.
22:03Miss Bridgerton, that is grey.
22:06Flashy silver tassels.
22:07Say that sometimes fast.
22:08I loved doing all of this, and I loved spending more and more time with you.
22:11On set.
22:12Me too.
22:13It was the best thing ever.
22:14It was really fun.
22:15Francesca's not with child, and John really helpfully suggests that if she was reaching her pinnacle,
22:22she might conceive.
22:23Franny's never had a pinnacle.
22:25Mother, what is a pinnacle?
22:28I think Violet was frightened of the word pinnacle.
22:31Pinnacle.
22:32In...
22:32Are you speaking of...
22:35In...
22:35The bedroom.
22:36Oh.
22:39She's not the best Violet at talking sex, is she?
22:42I mean, you would have thought she'd learnt from her mistakes by now.
22:44I know, but she can barely talk to Anderson.
22:46In a few seasons in.
22:49I think Violet should do, like, a pop-up book for the birds and the bees.
22:53I don't think she should.
22:55Magical.
22:56Special.
22:57I wish to explain this as best I can.
23:02I did your sister, Daphne, something of a disservice in this matter.
23:06I simply need information.
23:08I can't give it to you.
23:10Great.
23:10I've said if we get to the Hyacinth season and you're still doing this.
23:13I know.
23:13I know.
23:14I know.
23:15It is more than pleasant.
23:15It is...
23:17A delightful, um...
23:21Come on, Mum.
23:23Closeness.
23:24It's closeness.
23:24It's...
23:25That is, um...
23:26This is my favourite delivery, right?
23:27It's nearly impossible to describe.
23:29It's like a shared language.
23:31And...
23:32When you speak the same language, you are able to...
23:36Go on, Mum!
23:37Feel.
23:41Um...
23:43Magical.
23:44Special.
23:45Feeling.
23:48Inside.
23:49See?
23:50That's all you need to know.
23:52The thing is, there was a take where I was already drinking and Ruth went inside.
23:58And I just knew all I...
24:00It was this bright red port that if I sprayed everywhere, it was going to be an issue.
24:03On your beautiful, lovely dress that is your favourite.
24:06That was just a marathon in not laughing at you in that performance.
24:09I don't know how I had eight children.
24:11Yeah.
24:12So the scene we're about to watch is the famous lake scene.
24:16And it's pretty similar to the books.
24:19Sophie is trying to relax as Benedict's guest.
24:23She's off on a walk, hears some noises in the lake,
24:26and finds herself staring at Benedict Bridgerton swimming.
24:38Who's there?
24:39That, I think, when you look, is one of the...
24:41There was one moment where, obviously, in order for it to...
24:44It has to be out of sequence sometimes.
24:45And we were doing the bit when I was coming onto shore.
24:49I think you didn't know that I was going to be there standing naked.
24:52I didn't.
24:53With a sort of pouch over my private parts.
24:58Just, like, waiting like this before my line.
25:00And she had to pretend that she was seeing just something wonderful.
25:03And instead it was just this.
25:05So my eye line was technically supposed to be from seeing you swim to getting up.
25:10Yeah.
25:10But then I just saw you there.
25:12And I just went, I shouldn't be looking at you.
25:14I'm not famed for my patience, though my curiosity is rather strong.
25:19So I can wait here forever.
25:20It was one of those magical things that can sometimes happen with shooting.
25:24It had been raining.
25:25It had been grey for days.
25:26And then just on that day, it was blazing sunshine.
25:30Yeah.
25:30It was beautiful.
25:31I don't know how it even happened.
25:32And it would, I do think it would have made a huge difference
25:34if they'd had to, like, you know, make the sunshine happen or whatever.
25:37But it was the perfect day to do the lake swim.
25:39Having said that, it was very cold.
25:41It was still cold.
25:41And you should not be swimming when you have been unwell.
25:43But if we are quite so concerned with shoulds, then you should not have been spying.
25:46I was most certainly not spying.
25:48But I think you were.
25:48I was not.
25:49You assuredly were.
25:50I was not.
25:50So you did not notice me.
25:51I cannot help but notice you.
25:58Oh, no.
25:59Oh, no.
25:59Oh, no.
26:01Oh, no.
26:02Oh, no.
26:02Oh, no.
26:03Oh, no.
26:08Oh, no.
26:11That's where they have their first proper kiss as Sophie and Benedict.
26:15As Sophie and Benedict, yeah.
26:17This is such an iconic bit from the book.
26:18So it was really nice to sort of breathe that sort of moment to life like that.
26:24Yeah.
26:25I apologize.
26:26I should not have.
26:27No.
26:27I apologize.
26:29I should.
26:32Jeez.
26:34After you.
26:35Two, three.
26:36Three, two, three.
26:38Couldn't give a crap.
26:39Do you know what you're reading?
26:40Were you actually reading it?
26:41No, I was too nervous because this was a reshoot.
26:43It was.
26:43You're right.
26:44I wasn't nervous.
26:45You can't tell.
26:45Don't worry.
26:46I smashed this.
26:47You did.
26:47You always smash it.
26:48It was terrifying.
26:49Also, how many rooms do we have in our gaff mat?
26:51This is a new room.
26:52Unbelievable.
26:52You know, they were masked bull.
26:53Where was that room?
26:55It must not through the garage.
26:58I do not wish to watch my dance lessons.
27:00Perhaps I could read to you from my book about ballerinas.
27:03I like your dress in this.
27:04Or I could show you my ribbon collection.
27:05I just love the woods.
27:06To read about ballerinas.
27:07You're like, do you want to learn about my ribbons?
27:09Yeah.
27:10My ribbon collection, which by the way, we need to get that back.
27:12What's in a ribbon collection?
27:14What's in a ribbon collection?
27:15Ribbons?
27:15Are you a catch?
27:16Do you collect ribbons?
27:18No.
27:19Go to Fred.
27:21There's ribbons from out of my pocket.
27:24Put it back in.
27:26But you're trying to get me to read about ballerinas.
27:28Because I start to connect with Sophie.
27:30And then you, you're back.
27:31I'm left out.
27:31And I'm really upset.
27:32It is a bit peak of Eloise.
27:34I think Eloise is just really trying.
27:36She's digging her heels in at this point.
27:37She's like, I don't want to do this.
27:40This classic, like, older sibling, younger sibling thing.
27:42Like, you just want to hang out.
27:44Yeah, yeah.
27:44And I used to go to my brother and he'd be like, go work.
27:47I'm like, no!
27:48Yeah, that's true.
27:48Yeah.
27:50Good morning.
27:54Are you intent on practicing piano 14 private?
27:59No, that is not.
28:01I think at this point we haven't communicated anything.
28:03She's trying to add some spontaneity into the relationship
28:07because she's been told that that might help her reach her pinnacle.
28:16Jokes.
28:17Yes.
28:18Pounces on you.
28:19Get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready.
28:26I actually did headbutt, Victor.
28:28Yeah, we did.
28:29Accidentally, not on purpose.
28:30I had a massive swollen bun.
28:32No, you didn't.
28:33She was like, I'm going to get this over and done with.
28:35No, I didn't.
28:36And I was like, whoa, Anna, there's no need for that.
28:39Whoa, man.
28:41Shall we?
28:45She's really trying.
28:47Higher.
28:48Lower.
28:49They look right to me.
28:50John has come back from work and Francesca has something to say to him.
28:54And he's listening.
28:55And it's about compliance.
28:57Are you ever going to tell me what motivated your visit the other morning?
29:03I love this dressing gown.
29:05It's so pretty.
29:06I used to run around the studio getting people to chase me because it like flew.
29:11It was so good.
29:12It was so good.
29:13I remember.
29:13I quite enjoyed it.
29:15Did you?
29:16Well, I have restrained myself in our private life out of respect for you and your comfort.
29:23But if you should like to be more...
29:27Expressive.
29:28Is that the lie?
29:28Expressive together.
29:29Why do I sound so posh?
29:30Because you are posh.
29:31I'm not posh.
29:32No, as in the characters.
29:33Oh, yeah.
29:34John's posh.
29:34I should be happy to comply.
29:39I believe I should comply as well.
29:44We're trying to communicate more.
29:47Yeah, that first approach in the living room.
29:49That was such a bold move for her.
29:51And I think he knows that Francesca's going to like recoil and go into her shell.
29:54And it didn't work.
29:55Yeah, exactly.
29:56It's now over to you.
29:57There's parts that we both play.
29:58And I think that me sort of acknowledging what we did earlier...
30:01That you've got a part to play.
30:01In finding her pinnacle.
30:03And I was like...
30:04Well, it's not about pinnacles.
30:07My lord, there is another guest.
30:12But who is this?
30:14Yes!
30:14Oh, my gosh!
30:15This is it!
30:15Oh, my God.
30:16It was so hard getting down from that character.
30:18You smashed this.
30:19I did, I did.
30:21I do hope you've missed me.
30:22Come on, Michaela.
30:24So iconic.
30:25You mean, like, the reveal, like...
30:26Well, yeah.
30:27I just felt like the bitch is back.
30:29She is.
30:30I felt really good.
30:31I felt really good.
30:32What a wonderful surprise.
30:34Is it?
30:35You look as though you've seen a ghost.
30:37I mean, look at that expression at the end, though.
30:39Francesca's feelings.
30:40Yeah.
30:41Feelings.
30:41Or not feeling other feelings.
30:44It's just...
30:44Yeah.
30:45There's a lot of feelings.
30:46Feelings.
30:47This season.
30:48And then...
30:55Gosh.
30:56Mrs. Wilson told me you were serving tea somewhere new.
31:01This is new.
31:02I am the tea that you are having.
31:06I've got my curtains open.
31:07I know.
31:09Exhibitionist, huh?
31:09That's really quite embarrassing, isn't it?
31:11They didn't really think that one through, did they?
31:13What if my kids come home and they see their mum having a shag in our bedroom?
31:17Trauma.
31:18Lifelong trauma.
31:19You can see that they both crave each other.
31:21It's the first time.
31:22So there's no telling whether it's going to be or not.
31:25There are floodgates opening here, certainly for Violet.
31:28Yeah.
31:28It's all been...
31:29She'll have a really bad back, by the way.
31:33In this scene, it's probably a day after I've been presented to the Queen.
31:38I threw you under the bus, basically.
31:40Yeah, you threw me under the bus.
31:40In front of the Queen.
31:41She'll be down any minute.
31:43Talk about me.
31:44Danbury put me in a very, very precarious position.
31:48Oh, yes, I remember this.
31:50Oh, here we go.
31:51Trimble at Mill.
31:53Ooh.
31:54I wanted to explain.
31:55There was nothing to explain.
31:56I would like someone to explain.
31:58I do not want to be a lady-in-waiting for the Queen.
32:00Oh.
32:01But why?
32:02Do you even know why?
32:04Or are you saying no because I did not ask you,
32:06or because you are scared?
32:08She did not ask me.
32:09She simply threw me at Her Majesty.
32:12As I said, being a lady-in-waiting is an honor.
32:16Can you actually imagine being put in this position, though?
32:18Me?
32:18You cannot deny a lady-in-waiting position once you are offered,
32:21so it's so awkward.
32:22I love the way that your character is very kind of her own woman.
32:26Mm.
32:26You know what I mean?
32:27And it's like, no, I won't be-
32:29Manipulated.
32:29I won't be manipulated or shoved anywhere.
32:31Yeah.
32:32You are not of this world.
32:33You are different.
32:35And perhaps better for having been on the other side.
32:37But that's your superpower.
32:39That's the superpower, exactly.
32:40Not being of this world.
32:41And that's what the Queen likes.
32:43Bring a bit of spice.
32:44Yeah.
32:44Bring a bit of difference.
32:45Bring a bit of energy.
32:46Yeah.
32:46And you will always remember that she is the Queen,
32:48but you will not always treat her like the Queen.
32:51That earns respect.
32:53That's what she needs.
32:54Yeah.
32:55I'm not asking you to fill my shoes.
32:57I'm asking you to serve your Queen and your country.
32:59You'd have to get a wide fit.
33:00Oh, Lord.
33:01Get your own shoes.
33:02Yes, get your own shoes.
33:04I am telling you, Alice, Alice, to rise.
33:11As the great Maya Angelou said.
33:14When I search for you and everywhere I enter,
33:17my heart beats when you're near.
33:20The reality of you has become more tantalizing
33:24than any fantasy ever could be.
33:26And one I cannot live without.
33:28So this scene we're about to watch,
33:30they're at the Bridgerton house
33:32and they've constantly kept missing each other.
33:36You're about to go out to the pub with your mates
33:38and then you forget your purse.
33:41So that's the only reason why you go back.
33:43And at the same time, Benedict on his side,
33:45I think it's just an impulse moment.
33:47He has to see her and he just has to be with her.
33:51Connect with her again.
33:51I meant it when I said you deserve better.
33:53And I'm determined to give it to you.
33:55Oh, no.
33:56Are they nose rubbing?
33:57Hippie's about to ask her something.
33:59Oh, it's this.
33:59Sorry, you look away.
34:01I'll tell you when it's done.
34:02You can just comment.
34:02I'll tell you when it's done.
34:03You tell me when it's finished.
34:05Oh, it feels wrong to watch.
34:07Be my mistress.
34:10Oh.
34:14No.
34:15No.
34:15To this.
34:16Yeah, that's, um, sorry.
34:18What else do I got punch when he says that
34:21after saying, like, you're my everything?
34:23The unawareness of him is quite frightening.
34:26Imagine you've just been intimate on the stairs
34:30and someone said that.
34:31No, leave.
34:32Go.
34:32Don't accept that.
34:33Get out.
34:33Get out.
34:34Get out.
34:35Yeah.
34:36It's one of those things that does feel out of character
34:38in terms of what we expect from Benedict's sensitivity.
34:41We've only really seen a very nice, shiny, quite sort of people-friendly
34:45and also, like, very switched on, Benedict.
34:47Mm-hmm.
34:48And it is one moment where you're like,
34:49oh, he's completely misread this.
34:52And actually, for the whole episode, they just don't quite meet.
34:56But this is probably the worst one where he gets it so wrong.
35:00It's inappropriate.
35:01It really is.
35:02Yeah.
35:02It's so insensitive as well.
35:03I raised him better than that.
35:04Oh.
35:06Do you think at this point he's like, yeah.
35:08He's like, what a great idea.
35:10Proposition for her.
35:11Classic bloke who's gone, I've got a fantastic idea.
35:14Got it wrong.
35:14Yeah, yeah.
35:15She's gonna bloody love it.
35:17Yeah.
35:17Would you like to be a Bigfoot secret?
35:21The problem of that whole episode is that they can't find what they found
35:25in the masquerade ball and then at my cottage.
35:27They can't recreate that thing.
35:29And this feels like sort of like a very clumsy way to try and recreate it
35:33that ends up completely throwing them further apart they've been all season really.
35:37Yeah.
35:37Which is a great place to stop because then you're like,
35:39how are they gonna work their way back to each other after that?
35:41What a dick.
