1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: The city and with Kate Ritchie podcast.

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 2: It feels like an old friend's come back with this

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 2: isn't it?

4
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 3: Fourteen years?

5
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 2: Fourteen years Channel ten to Night seven thirty. Thank God?

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: Yeah here, I'm you know.

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 4: What's scary about that, though, is I guess it's an

8
00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 4: old friend revisiting.

9
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:19,280
Speaker 5: But where does the time go?

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:21,240
Speaker 2: Richie?

11
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,480
Speaker 3: The best thing you said all morning?

12
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,760
Speaker 2: And the host tonight she joins us right now, Celia Pacuala, welcome.

13
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: I know, how can you believe it?

14
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 6: This is exciting and Authia, it really is for me absolutely.

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 6: I was in the audience fourteen years ago.

16
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,479
Speaker 1: Were you did you see a filming of it?

17
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 6: I was very I just started stand up, so I

18
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 6: just on my whole show. So maybe if there'd been

19
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 6: a season five, I might have gotten close to go

20
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 6: through the door that Matt they shut it down.

21
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 5: And who did you see? Do you remember seeing? Which?

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Who?

23
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 5: I think Merrick?

24
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 4: When I did Breakfast Radio with him, he would toddle

25
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,639
Speaker 4: off and do thank god, ye what else?

26
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: Is one of the absolute stars at it. He was

27
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 1: so good at it.

28
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 6: So Felicity Ward was my best friend and housemate at

29
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 6: the time, so that's what I was watching. But I

30
00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 6: think she was on with Hamish and Josh Lawson. I

31
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 6: think it was an absolute stacked but at the time

32
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 6: that's the thing like when you think back then, Josh Lawson, like,

33
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 6: I think that show really had something to do with

34
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 6: breaking him.

35
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: He was so cool at it, and Hamish as well.

36
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 2: You don't have to be a comedian. This is the thing, Sally.

37
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: The actors, and I remember Angas Sampson was another one

38
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: as well who dominated this format. The actors are the

39
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: ones that really stand out and very quick on their feet.

40
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 6: But also there's people like fee Fee Box who fun

41
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 6: Face is actually the first person to go through the

42
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 6: door ever, who was so wonderful and memorable at it,

43
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 6: mainly because.

44
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,119
Speaker 1: Of how terrified she was. It was an absolute.

45
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,559
Speaker 6: Delight to watch her just just just giggle her way

46
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 6: through and have these incredible moments when you see how

47
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 6: scared they are and they.

48
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: Do it anyway, which I think is what is part

49
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: of the joy of this show.

50
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 6: Is so warm and everyone's on your side because it's

51
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 6: a lot of people's actual nightmare.

52
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 3: That is so true because you've got to say you're

53
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 3: Hamish and your Josh Lawson's and they make it look

54
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: like a rehearsed scene because they're so good at it,

55
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 3: and then you take a fee fee or somebody who's

56
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 3: standing there asking the question what am I doing? I

57
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 3: don't know, I don't know why I'm here. So you've

58
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 3: got both sides to it.

59
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,359
Speaker 6: There's no rules, and I think the toughest job is

60
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 6: the ensemble cast who were in there, who aren't allowed

61
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 6: to laugh, of course, and who have to sort of

62
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 6: keep things moving along and have some semblance of control.

63
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,079
Speaker 6: Whereas the performer can do whatever they want. It's a

64
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 6: playground for them. Are they going to go into the audience?

65
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 6: Are they going to climb something like Frank Woodley as

66
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 6: well of my favorites, who would just you just never

67
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 6: knew if you put him in a costume. You just

68
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 6: didn't know if it was coming off, You didn't know

69
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 6: what was going to happen.

70
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 2: Well, it also started the career of Ed Caviny, and

71
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,359
Speaker 2: it was it was an actor on there as well.

72
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 6: He was one of the ensemble. He was he's the

73
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 6: master of the straight face. He was excellent at it.

74
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 6: I'm not going to lie to you, and look I've

75
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 6: told him this had a question on him.

76
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 1: He did you?

77
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 5: I mean How did that not work out between you guys?

78
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: Because then I met him. I love him dearly.

79
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 6: It's a very faire but you know, anyway, it all

80
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 6: worked out for the best.

81
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: But Celia, you're talking about this being like people's worst,

82
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 4: absolute worst nightmare. And let's be honest, not only are

83
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: you we're very talented actress, but you're a very very

84
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: funny woman as well. Why didn't you put your hand

85
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,839
Speaker 4: up to walk through that blue door. I mean, I've

86
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 4: heard that you're quite happy to be hosting instead.

87
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 6: Absolutely, this is the thing. There's no putting your hand up,

88
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 6: but you sort of get chosen.

89
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: You know.

90
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 6: If I was asked to do it, I would do it.

91
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 6: But I'm okay that I'm not like I love a script.

92
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 6: I like it's just scary. I don't do character. I

93
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 6: don't know because you don't know what I'd do. Maybe

94
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 6: I'd go in there and just cry for five minutes.

95
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 6: You just don't know. As host, I get the joy

96
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 6: of getting to one be there every episode. I never

97
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 6: miss an episode because if I miss an episode, something's

98
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 6: gone terribly wrong.

99
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I should be there also. I get the joy.

100
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 6: It's a lot of my comedy heroes, and then also

101
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 6: a lot of my mates being there, so I am

102
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 6: just thrilled and I'm just happy the show's back in general, can.

103
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 5: You tell us?

104
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 3: Can you give us a heads up? Because I think

105
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 3: when anybody in the entertainment game thinks about doing this,

106
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 3: or if you're part of the public and you're sitting

107
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 3: at home watching, going how would I go on this

108
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 3: show your mind, then the next step naturally is to

109
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 3: go what is a scene that would suit me?

110
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: Like? What scene?

111
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 3: Would I be great in the beach? Would I step

112
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 3: out under the moon?

113
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:28,679
Speaker 2: Robbery?

114
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Can you give us a heads up on some of

115
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: the themes we might see tonight?

116
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: Oh, not tonight. I don't want to spoil anything, but

117
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: you never know.

118
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 6: But a lot of we do ask that pet question,

119
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 6: and some people, like Julia's Mirror is famous for saying

120
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 6: she always wants a period costume. She's like, put me

121
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 6: in I want to be in the feet, whereas some

122
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 6: people just want to be you know, they just don't

123
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 6: want to be with animals, or they don't want to

124
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 6: be in a you know, around at heights or something

125
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 6: that's exactly what you do.

126
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 3: Well kick them through the door.

127
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 1: There was a sorry with with Fee.

128
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,719
Speaker 6: I've got to tell you other people's anecdotes, but on

129
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 6: my mind is just treasure trove of this is. She

130
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 6: was supposed to be in a scene with a bunch

131
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,039
Speaker 6: of dogs. She was a dog trainer. This is in

132
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 6: the old season, and the producers only found out a

133
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 6: couple of days beforehand accidentally that she had quite a

134
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,560
Speaker 6: large phobia of dogs. So that had to change it

135
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 6: at the last minute, thank goodness, and just swapped seas.

136
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 6: Otherwise she would have actually been putting in a room

137
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 6: the television camera with her actual phobia.

138
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 3: So I know this season has been shot. Next season.

139
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 3: I just wanted to throw someone's name in there. Ryan

140
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 3: James Fitzgerald's alone.

141
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 5: I'm your agent on the phone. Come on, Fish, here's

142
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:44,120
Speaker 5: what we do.

143
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 3: He's allergic to latex, so something where he had to

144
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 3: be dressed in rubber so that it would come from

145
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 3: his face swelling and his head's swelling to three times.

146
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: That was a twist. I didn't see the ambulance coming

147
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: in at the end.

148
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,640
Speaker 2: I know I found out later in life that I do.

149
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 2: I am allergic to late and I found it like alive.

150
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 2: Put me in Batman mask for the show. And I'm

151
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: my head blue up, Celia, I've been bitten by.

152
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 3: B Now that's entertainment. So what I mean? It's a layer?

153
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm allergy to latex. Really does sound like something

154
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:16,920
Speaker 1: you would say to a woman.

155
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 5: But they alsoy that. Don't make sure.

156
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 6: But I will say to you. This might blome Bonaparte.

157
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 6: But we haven't finished shooting. We are currently still shooting.

158
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not in judge.

159
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 2: Well, Celia, we are so excited it's back. Thank god
