00:00It's me! Postie Pat!
00:02Back for season two, guys. Are you nervous? Or terrified? Or happy? Excited? What's going for your body?
00:09I mean, I'm feeling excited.
00:11I'm excited. I'm excited. I feel like, it feels quite different to the first one, because the first one was
00:16so unknown.
00:17Whereas this is like, we know it a bit better now. It felt like back to school, but you're in
00:21year two?
00:23Well, maybe not year two, that's quite young actually. It's like being in the older year of sixth form.
00:26First year of sixth form, you're like, oh god, I'm so scared. Second year of sixth form, you're like, let's
00:31go smoke behind the bins.
00:34I've not even thought of the work yet, to be honest. I've been quite a geek and a bit dorky,
00:39because I've been like, oh, I get to see my friends.
00:41I'm very excited. It's great to be back together. It's been nice to have some time away.
00:45I've had so much time off, I'm not fully conscious yet.
00:48Yeah, I feel like I've been in a pub garden for like four months.
00:53I'm really excited to go back. Yeah.
00:55Obviously, it's like a funny thing working on a show where it's like, we're going to make it in the
00:59week of.
01:00So obviously, we're all like vibrating slightly, but excited, yeah.
01:03Excited.
01:04Yeah, excited. And also, I think the pressure's always on because it's live, like it's inherent to the thing.
01:09When you heard you're getting another one, was it like straight on the WhatsApp? Like, come on guys, let's go
01:13to the broadcaster and have some shots.
01:14We were in the room together. All of us just looking at each other like, yeah.
01:18Yeah, it was in the last week of season one, which is, yeah, like completely, that never happens.
01:25Yeah. Out of body experience, literally, yeah. But the WhatsApp group must have been popping off throughout.
01:30Oh God, yeah. Yeah, and then I think some of us got to like meet a bit during the summer
01:36and stuff like that.
01:37But then it's so hard to get 11 of us all in the same room at the same time.
01:41God, there were a lot of polls made about dinners that never made it.
01:46Never made it.
01:46What's the best thing that's individually happened to you guys since being involved?
01:50I've got one. Well, maybe, I don't know if this would be your guys as well.
01:53But when we were, sorry to say this, at the BAFTAs, Seth Rogen stopped me and Jack and was like,
02:01SNL is great.
02:02Wow. And I was like, I'm going to have to go drink a whole bottle of wine because I can't
02:07comprehend what has just happened.
02:09That was so cool.
02:10Paloma Faith did that as well.
02:11And I was, because she was having a conversation with Paulie, our musical director,
02:15and I was just trying to do that thing where I walk so they can like have their conversations
02:19and just sort of politely get out of the way.
02:21But Paloma Faith like reached across and grabbed me and pulled me back and was like, I love the show.
02:25Have you got a Paloma Faith impression?
02:26I was like, I love you too, Paloma Faith.
02:28I couldn't, but I wouldn't ever be so disrespectful.
02:31Also, I came up.
02:32When we were walking down the thing and then we saw...
02:35James McAvoy.
02:36James McAvoy.
02:36Yeah, we were like, because you get that a lot walking around like,
02:38because a lot of like the chat shows with the big mega stars are happening in the same building.
02:42So me and Larry were like walking along and James McAvoy is walking in the direction.
02:46We were obviously like, oh, James McAvoy.
02:48And then he was like, really love the show, guys.
02:51And we were like, thank you, Professor X.
02:56I thought we played it pretty cool, right?
02:58Because we were like, oh, thank you, thank you.
03:00Cheers.
03:00Cheers, James.
03:02And then, as soon as we went round the corner, me and George just turned to Shepard going...
03:10Today I'm having hot chocolate with Martin Lewis, money-saving expert.
03:13Are you?
03:13Yeah, we're going to Noops.
03:15Wow.
03:15Are you going to ask him any particular money-saving expert questions?
03:18Yeah, so I'm going to be...
03:19I'm trying to find out what the ISA situation is.
03:22I think some of the rules are changing.
03:24Now that she's watching, I'd love to meet Captain Lady.
03:29Yeah.
03:30What would you ask her?
03:32I'd just listen.
03:36So if you have one special guest that's hosting it with you, let's be ridiculous as we can.
03:41I would love, like, a children's magician.
03:46Mr. Tumble?
03:47Is he a magician?
03:48I don't know what he does.
03:49Well, what he's doing is magic, but I don't know if he's a magician.
03:52I wanted Blobby to be the host.
03:53Oh, that would have been great.
03:55Blobby as a host, Blobby as a host.
03:57The monologue would have been incredible.
03:58Yeah, the monologue.
03:59But don't you think he's quite old now, like, bits of plaster would be cracking off him?
04:03No, he regenerates naturally.
04:04He's got, like, a regenerative source that he's connected to within the Earth.
04:09So he, like, he keeps regenerating.
04:11Unless he is destroyed with a certain sword, I think.
04:15Which we've got.
04:16There's, like, one sword that can kill him, which we have in a vault.
04:18We're not going to use it, yeah.
04:19Under Telegram Center.
04:20Anyone else you fancy?
04:22Oh, he's holding us probably over the 14th.
04:26I think Sade would be sick.
04:28Yeah.
04:29I would love to have, like, the Prodigy or, like, Underworld or Wookiee, like, some legacy dance.
04:36And then they just have the decks and they're kind of...
04:38I'd love, like, Pulp or something.
04:40Oh, that would be so good.
04:40That would be so fun.
04:42Shy Girl.
04:43Shy Girl would be great.
04:44That would be awesome.
04:45I want you to get Spice Girls back together.
04:47Spice Girls would be great.
04:49Sugar Babies would be great.
04:50That would be unbelievable.
04:51George, you're describing your comedy as screaming demons and goblins.
04:55Has that been calmed down since the first go?
04:59I'd say it's more feral, if anything.
05:01Like, you might not see as much of it.
05:04It's happening backstage.
05:04It's happening backstage all the time.
05:06Yeah.
05:07It's really horrible.
05:08Disturbing to see, really.
05:10You can't see that he's got a lead in a harness.
05:13Yeah, yeah.
05:13He's going back there.
05:15He's going to try and attack interviewers all day.
05:18What's more scary, then?
05:19An audience going quiet and silent or forgetting the line 30 seconds before you're on?
05:25Well, we have cue cards, so we never...
05:27If we forgot our lines, we'd have to be, like, facing the wrong direction.
05:32Which is also a worry sometimes.
05:33Yeah, forget which direction you're facing.
05:35Yeah.
05:35Pretty scary.
05:36Yeah.
05:37Audience being silent, I would say, is always bad.
05:40That's terrifying, yeah.
05:41Unless they're silence and reverence at our jokes.
05:43They're just like, that's so funny.
05:44I get really...
05:45Have you ever had that where you've had, like, where you've been doing a gig and...
05:49Or a performance and the audience is silent and that gives you uncontrollable
05:54giggles.
05:55I did a...
05:56I was...
05:57Did...
05:57I did an Edinburgh show in 2015 and we had...
06:01On the last day of the show, we had an audience in of slightly older people.
06:08And it was completely sold out and they were all completely silent.
06:12And there was a sketch in it, Screaming Goblin, where I played a sort of horrible, like,
06:17post-nuclear apocalypse version of Postman Pat called Posty Pat.
06:20And he just screamed at people's faces.
06:22And they were so silent and unresponsive to this whole sketch of me being like,
06:27It's me!
06:28Posty Pat!
06:30That loudly.
06:31But, like, this close to, like, an older lady's face who was just going...
06:36Like that.
06:37That I started uncontrollably laughing during the sketch.
06:39So I was just going...
06:43And I had to just go off and just calm down and we had to move on and we couldn't
06:47finish
06:47the sketch.
06:48There's nothing funnier to me than people being like...
06:50Completely, completely nothing.
06:51Can we bring Posty Pat...
06:53Apocalypsey Pokey...
06:54Put that one...
06:55Yeah, it's hard to nail down the concept when you hear about it.
06:58From this angle.
06:58Can we bring it into series two, perhaps?
07:00Well, we'll have to see.
07:01Well, we'll have to see.
