00:00Hi. Nice to see you again.
00:02Nice to see you again. Where did you see me last?
00:04Last time I saw you, you were moonlighting and doing two interviews for different outlets at the same time.
00:10Because I'm booked and busy.
00:11I'm so impressed. So booked and busy.
00:13And last time we were talking about how good you were as a serial killer.
00:17Oh yes!
00:18And now, not a serial killer, but still a guy with some secrets.
00:25Still a guy that's a bit sus, my character in The Verbs.
00:29At one point you don't really think he's a killer.
00:32And working with Kiki Palmer in Dream, right?
00:35She's amazing. She's just an absolute unicorn.
00:41And was a joy to work with. She's so funny and so endearing and a brilliant actress.
00:49She's so good in this show.
00:51For anybody that doesn't know anything about The Verbs, give us a synopsis. You're good at this.
00:54The Verbs is inspired by the 1980s Tom Hanks movie.
01:00It's about a couple that moved to the suburbs to this very quiet provincial street.
01:06But it turns out that there's lots of dark secrets.
01:10And you can't trust anyone in the neighbourhood.
01:12That's a TV show I'm absolutely going to binge.
01:15Tell me, what was the last TV show that you binged?
01:19Last night I watched six episodes of Age of Innocence, which is like Love is Blind but you have to
01:25lie about your age.
01:27It's great. Yeah. It sounds really wrong. It sounds like a social experiment too far.
01:34But it's actually riveting. Even though it's abundantly clear how old all of them are.
01:41But I guess that's, you know, part of the fun.
01:43And I know this is really hard, but who is your favourite TV character of all time?
01:49David Brent? Maybe. Adam Hartridge?
01:56If you can play any TV character in any TV show so far, who would it be?
02:02I'd like to check into The White Lotus. That would be great. So any character in The White Lotus.
02:09Why hasn't this happened yet?
02:11I don't know. This is how we manifest it.
02:12I'll sort it out. It's aired on ITN and hopefully Mike White's watching.
02:16I'll sort it out. I've got his direct line.
02:18Just finally, we're talking about accents. Have you ever had to do any accents for any jobs that you've done?
02:25And if so, which has been the hardest?
02:27I've done a few accents. I did an American accent in Clifford the Big Red Dog, which I thought I'd
02:33nailed.
02:33And then they showed a clip on The Graham Norton Show and Olivia Colman did not agree.
02:40And to be fair, neither did a lot of social media.
02:43So that one, I didn't actually find that challenging at the time.
02:46But subsequently, with hindsight, it turned out it was more challenging than I thought.
02:50What do you think would be the hardest?
02:54I feel like whenever I've done Geordie before, it always veers into dangerous territory.
03:02And I do attempt it quite a lot, especially when I'm on stage in Newcastle.
03:06But we end up in Kingston, Jamaica quite quickly.
03:09I want to hear your Scottish.
03:11My Scottish?
03:13Sorry.
03:14It's not on that note.
03:17It's good to see you.
03:18You're just one chat today.
03:19Good to see you.
03:22Scottish.
03:22I'd like to be Scottish.
03:23Yeah, you could.
03:24Good to see you.
03:25Hi.
03:26Hi.
