00:00I feel like we're two kind of hungry and exhausted cockerels that you throw in a bucket and say, go,
00:06and urgh!
00:07Yeah, everyone's just like stepped it up a notch for like this part.
00:11What have you seen?
00:12I've seen the first three episodes of the second part, yes.
00:17What do you guys prefer doing? Do you like playing like the being in love side of things more,
00:21or do you like playing like being at loggerheads with each other? Because we get both.
00:26I think you need both.
00:27I like the turn. I like the one to the other.
00:30What, the bit in the middle?
00:31It becomes holistic quite quickly in these kinds of scenes where, you know,
00:36it goes from romantic and sexy to nasty pretty quickly, and you see some of these, yeah.
00:44It's the turn, isn't it? I think that's it.
00:45Yeah, particularly between you two.
00:47Yeah, if we just had the one thing, it wouldn't feel as satisfying, but it's to have them both.
00:52It wouldn't be them either.
00:53It wouldn't be them either.
00:54Has it got easier to like balance that mix of like sharp comedy with the heartbreak and the high
01:00drama, like now that you guys have been doing this a while?
01:02Probably.
01:03Yeah, I don't know. It's always what's made the show work, and what we've always got from
01:07a very early on. You just feel it, you know it, and you know where it's very sincere and real,
01:11and where it's something else. I mean, I don't know. Again, it's what makes the show work really
01:16well. I don't know. It's both. Again, it's in the middle, isn't it?
01:18Rufus and I love, when we know we've got a big scene coming up together, it plays Paul Stratton,
01:23we, we, we love, we have a glass of wine together in the hotel bar and we talk about it
01:28and we really
01:28go through it and I love doing that as a wanky actor thing to do. I love it.
01:34We never do that, do we?
01:34Oh, we love doing it.
01:36No, we should.
01:36Oh, you should.
01:37It's so indulgent and ridiculous, but yeah, we like doing that.
01:41Oh my God.
01:42We've never done it?
01:42Have we not?
01:43Do you guys, do you hang out then like outside for the show?
01:46We never talk about the scene beforehand. God, we're lazy.
01:50No, but some people, no, people don't, no, some people don't.
01:54We just get in the room and just go, I've never done that before.
01:56We just, I don't know, we just, we just like doing that, yeah.
01:59We've never had a glass of wine in the bar the night before.
02:02No, damn.
02:02No, you don't do that.
02:03I feel like we're two kind of hungry and exhausted cockerels that you throw in a bucket and say,
02:09go and yeah.
02:11Yeah, but yeah, there's.
02:13And you do it so well. It's working, whatever you're doing.
02:15Couple of mad paddies.
02:17Have you, because I look at this place and I'm like,
02:20I couldn't live here because everyone's so in everyone's business.
02:23Yeah.
02:24Have you ever lived anywhere where everyone's properly in your business
02:26or do you just think it's not like that anymore?
02:28Hmm.
02:28I think living in a smaller town, you can get curtain twitching for sure.
02:34I definitely had, well, I hear you were at the supermarket the other day
02:37and they were out of the sausages.
02:38So you went for the bacon instead.
02:40That's very interesting.
02:41You're like, but it's different now.
02:43We have phones, don't we?
02:44People do the same thing, but just through that.
02:47Yeah.
02:48Everyone knows everyone's business.
02:48I think being a public guy in general,
02:50you always sort of feel like everyone's talking about you.
02:53They're probably not, but yeah.
02:56Everyone seems to know my business.
02:58Oh, yeah.
02:59Does it make you paranoid at all?
03:01It's very, yeah.
03:02It's awful.
03:03I get very anxious.
03:04We'll talk about that.
03:06Yeah, I know.
03:07You sit down with us and we'll talk about it.
03:09Because I love the idea of that.
03:10Yeah.
03:11I'm going to adopt that.
03:11I feel like everyone's always gossiping and, you know, me included.
03:16I like a good gossip, so.
03:17But that's why we like it, right?
03:19Yeah.
03:19Like, I think we all like other people's drama,
03:20which is why this show is so great.
03:22Because I just like...
03:23It's tribal.
03:23It's tribal to gossip.
03:24Isn't it?
03:25Yeah.
03:25We thrived on it.
03:26And yeah.
03:27I love it.
03:28Information gathering.
03:29Right.
03:29I feel like because there is so much escapism with this show, like it's such a palate cleanser.
03:34What's your palate cleanser in the same way that we watch Rivals just to escape from the world?
03:39Masterchef, Below Deck.
03:42I like for...
03:43It's not palate cleanser.
03:45It turns my brain off, which is not what Rivals does.
03:48No, that's true.
03:49But that's my stuff's topped up.
03:52We often have chess boards around when we're playing, when we're on set and that's surreal.
03:57Anything that completely takes you out of the thing.
04:00Takes you out of it, yeah.
04:00Only Chris will find a game, won't he?
04:02Yeah, board games are a big thing on set, actually.
04:04Brendan does it.
04:05He brings a lot of boards into it.
04:06He's also a magician.
04:07Yeah.
04:07So he'll just turn up and start doing cards and he's just extraordinary.
04:11Oh, that's so much fun.
04:12It's great.
04:13Being a magician.
04:14Amazing.
04:15I love that.
04:16Well, just keep bringing the drama, guys, because I'm here for it.
04:18And I need it.
04:19I need it in my life.
04:20It's pretty boring.
04:21Like, I'm okay with that.
04:23As long as other people have the drama, that's fine, by the way.
04:26We'll keep delivering for you if we can.
04:29So good to see you guys.
04:30Thank you so much.
04:31Great to see you.
