You're straight 24 00:01:17,194 --> 00:01:19,794 Speaker 4: into the servants world. You see the servants set up 25 00:01:19,834 --> 00:01:22,394 Speaker 4: the house before you even see a Bridgeton two minutes in. 26 00:01:22,874 --> 00:01:26,154 Speaker 4: I had no idea how many servants the Bridgeton family had. 27 00:01:26,994 --> 00:01:28,714 Speaker 4: I mean, I know it runs really well there, but 28 00:01:28,754 --> 00:01:31,354 Speaker 4: when you go downstairs and you see the dozens of people, 29 00:01:31,394 --> 00:01:34,794 Speaker 4: I thought it was just incredible. My mum's group were 30 00:01:34,794 --> 00:01:37,714 Speaker 4: having a watch along on what'sapp and we all agreed, 31 00:01:37,874 --> 00:01:41,394 Speaker 4: we really love watching how they pull a household together. 32 00:01:41,834 --> 00:01:44,354 Speaker 4: Like you always see those tables of like Volivont and 33 00:01:44,394 --> 00:01:46,354 Speaker 4: cross On and stuff like that. You never think about 34 00:01:46,354 --> 00:01:48,074 Speaker 4: how they get there and how much work, how many 35 00:01:48,074 --> 00:01:50,514 Speaker 4: people put in so much work to make that happen. 36 00:01:50,794 --> 00:01:52,634 Speaker 4: I found this old interview where Jess Brown or the 37 00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:55,914 Speaker 4: show run I spoke about competency porn, so that something 38 00:01:55,914 --> 00:01:58,954 Speaker 4: that women love. We love watching people do something well. 39 00:01:59,114 --> 00:02:01,394 Speaker 4: That's why medical shows do really well, legal shows, but 40 00:02:01,434 --> 00:02:04,594 Speaker 4: also like your Master Chefs, I love watching how people 41 00:02:04,594 --> 00:02:06,114 Speaker 4: can create these elaborate worlds. 42 00:02:06,354 --> 00:02:08,793 Speaker 3: It's interesting you think competency porn because that's what they'd 43 00:02:08,874 --> 00:02:12,514 Speaker 3: say about the pit. Absolutely something that has been choreographed 44 00:02:12,554 --> 00:02:15,954 Speaker 3: that well, or every detail in the background has a 45 00:02:15,994 --> 00:02:18,394 Speaker 3: purpose and has been put there specifically and has gone 46 00:02:18,434 --> 00:02:21,073 Speaker 3: back to a frame and adjusted at millimeter by millimeter. 47 00:02:21,354 --> 00:02:24,234 Speaker 3: So there is something about and it is almost shot 48 00:02:24,474 --> 00:02:27,394 Speaker 3: like food porn as well, like a commercial set. 49 00:02:27,594 --> 00:02:29,874 Speaker 1: How you're setting that up one hundred percent? 50 00:02:30,034 --> 00:02:33,514 Speaker 4: Now, I feel like Benedict was everyone's favorite brother anyway, 51 00:02:34,114 --> 00:02:37,314 Speaker 4: but people have been very excited since the announcement that 52 00:02:37,354 --> 00:02:39,274 Speaker 4: he was going to be the lead. I think Luke 53 00:02:39,354 --> 00:02:43,513 Speaker 4: Thompson is absolutely spectacular shock horror as a leading man. 54 00:02:43,554 --> 00:02:45,354 Speaker 4: There's no glow up that I can see. I mean, 55 00:02:45,354 --> 00:02:47,554 Speaker 4: he just looks as hot, right. Can I just ask 56 00:02:47,594 --> 00:02:48,114 Speaker 4: one question? 57 00:02:48,194 --> 00:02:50,714 Speaker 3: Though we've spoken about this off Mike, the fact that 58 00:02:50,754 --> 00:02:53,073 Speaker 3: he is meant to be younger than Anthony. 59 00:02:53,234 --> 00:02:56,074 Speaker 5: I don't buy it, really no, I do I feel 60 00:02:56,074 --> 00:02:58,634 Speaker 5: like he well maybe because he's just a bit more 61 00:02:59,394 --> 00:03:02,394 Speaker 5: free spirited, facebooks weathered. 62 00:03:02,034 --> 00:03:02,674 Speaker 1: In a hot way. 63 00:03:02,674 --> 00:03:05,834 Speaker 4: I'm like, yeah, yeah, I think it's nice that he 64 00:03:05,914 --> 00:03:07,874 Speaker 4: has his genuine original teeth. 65 00:03:08,114 --> 00:03:09,314 Speaker 1: You don't see that on TV. 66 00:03:09,474 --> 00:03:12,874 Speaker 5: Very that's trending at the moment. Actually, there was an 67 00:03:12,914 --> 00:03:15,434 Speaker 5: article on Vogue yesterday that I saw that people are 68 00:03:15,514 --> 00:03:18,794 Speaker 5: very happy that celebrities are embracing their real teeth. 69 00:03:19,474 --> 00:03:21,074 Speaker 1: So it's really nice to see. 70 00:03:21,114 --> 00:03:23,154 Speaker 4: And I timed at five minutes thirty into the first 71 00:03:23,154 --> 00:03:24,834 Speaker 4: episode we first saw his. 72 00:03:24,714 --> 00:03:28,673 Speaker 1: Bare bumb spectacular. 73 00:03:29,114 --> 00:03:31,754 Speaker 4: Now you've seen some things online about Benedict, right. 74 00:03:31,794 --> 00:03:36,714 Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Now, people obviously are very good at diving 75 00:03:36,714 --> 00:03:40,954 Speaker 5: into past seasons and finding little Easter eggs. We all 76 00:03:40,994 --> 00:03:43,634 Speaker 5: love her Easter egg. Taylor Swift really kind of set 77 00:03:43,714 --> 00:03:47,714 Speaker 5: us up, like to look for them everywhere, and someone's 78 00:03:47,754 --> 00:03:49,874 Speaker 5: found a really good Easter egg that I want to 79 00:03:49,914 --> 00:03:53,194 Speaker 5: talk about from season two. It's when Benedict was talking 80 00:03:53,194 --> 00:03:56,674 Speaker 5: to his older brother Anthony and they were talking about 81 00:03:56,714 --> 00:03:59,314 Speaker 5: like poetry and what it means to truly admire a 82 00:03:59,314 --> 00:04:01,034 Speaker 5: woman and I want to read you. 83 00:04:01,794 --> 00:04:04,434 Speaker 1: Just before he read the poem to miss Edwena, Yes. 84 00:04:04,674 --> 00:04:08,194 Speaker 5: I want to read you what Benedict said, and everyone's 85 00:04:08,234 --> 00:04:12,314 Speaker 5: now saying that this absolutely alluded to Sophie. He said, 86 00:04:12,474 --> 00:04:14,914 Speaker 5: what is it to truly admire a woman? To look 87 00:04:14,994 --> 00:04:18,273 Speaker 5: at her and feel inspiration, to delight in her beauty 88 00:04:18,394 --> 00:04:24,873 Speaker 5: so much that all your defenses crumble? So season two interesting? 89 00:04:25,113 --> 00:04:26,993 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is spectacular, I know. 90 00:04:27,234 --> 00:04:28,354 Speaker 5: So that's getting clipped. 91 00:04:28,513 --> 00:04:29,834 Speaker 1: Yeah, and I. 92 00:04:29,794 --> 00:04:31,833 Speaker 5: Can see a few fan and it's being made of that. 93 00:04:32,594 --> 00:04:34,714 Speaker 5: But I just thought that that was such a sweet 94 00:04:34,714 --> 00:04:37,194 Speaker 5: thing because that's exactly what Sophie kind of does to him. 95 00:04:37,274 --> 00:04:42,113 Speaker 5: Right he's inspired, he starts drawing her from every handle constantly, 96 00:04:42,274 --> 00:04:43,794 Speaker 5: which is also kind of funny. If you put the 97 00:04:43,794 --> 00:04:45,794 Speaker 5: wrong music to that, that would look real creepy. 98 00:04:46,073 --> 00:04:50,633 Speaker 1: But has that been made yet? No, this afternoon, yes, 99 00:04:50,714 --> 00:04:52,634 Speaker 1: right now, I will be doing that. 100 00:04:53,073 --> 00:04:55,433 Speaker 5: But that's kind of what happened. He kind of saw 101 00:04:55,513 --> 00:04:57,393 Speaker 5: at the masquerade and he crumbled a bit. 102 00:04:57,674 --> 00:04:59,513 Speaker 3: Yeah, it stopped him in a way that we haven't 103 00:04:59,513 --> 00:05:03,794 Speaker 3: seen with any of the romantic interests that he's had, 104 00:05:03,834 --> 00:05:06,594 Speaker 3: and he has had a lot so far in the across. 105 00:05:06,234 --> 00:05:09,113 Speaker 1: The three seasons, a few at a time. He's the 106 00:05:09,154 --> 00:05:10,433 Speaker 1: bohemian of the group. 107 00:05:10,674 --> 00:05:14,193 Speaker 5: Speaking of bohemian, people are assigning him a star sign 108 00:05:14,354 --> 00:05:17,153 Speaker 5: because we don't actually know he's real one, but everyone's 109 00:05:17,193 --> 00:05:21,474 Speaker 5: analyzing his personality traits and they have coined him as 110 00:05:21,513 --> 00:05:24,993 Speaker 5: a Pisces. Now I want to read you the traits 111 00:05:24,993 --> 00:05:27,394 Speaker 5: of a Pisces man, because you know what, they've done 112 00:05:27,433 --> 00:05:31,354 Speaker 5: a really really good job here ready. So positive traits 113 00:05:31,354 --> 00:05:36,153 Speaker 5: are dreamer, emotionally sensitive, outsider, which it makes sense, like 114 00:05:36,234 --> 00:05:39,113 Speaker 5: him and Sophie both have that conversation about feeling like 115 00:05:39,154 --> 00:05:41,713 Speaker 5: they're not really you know, they don't fit in where 116 00:05:41,753 --> 00:05:48,354 Speaker 5: they are, and then process feelings through art. Oh my god, 117 00:05:49,193 --> 00:05:53,474 Speaker 5: prone to escapism. And then this is however, so these 118 00:05:53,474 --> 00:05:56,193 Speaker 5: are the traits that are less you know, I don't know, 119 00:05:56,433 --> 00:06:01,194 Speaker 5: wonderful I guess is sensitivity can make him prone to escapism. 120 00:06:01,234 --> 00:06:03,994 Speaker 5: So again, prone to escapism in a good and bad way. 121 00:06:04,193 --> 00:06:10,074 Speaker 5: Vulnerability and difficulty setting bound so they sometimes appear inconsistent 122 00:06:10,234 --> 00:06:11,314 Speaker 5: or overly emotional. 123 00:06:11,474 --> 00:06:15,313 Speaker 3: I feel like he's got great boundaries, dear. Yeah, he's 124 00:06:15,354 --> 00:06:18,753 Speaker 3: avoided the marriage mart up until now, he'd had his 125 00:06:18,953 --> 00:06:22,154 Speaker 3: art school. He's running his own race. He's actually the 126 00:06:22,193 --> 00:06:25,193 Speaker 3: only thing that I think about that list, Georgie. 127 00:06:25,274 --> 00:06:27,754 Speaker 4: His boundaries are quite physical, like he just doesn't turn 128 00:06:27,834 --> 00:06:28,313 Speaker 4: up for things. 129 00:06:28,393 --> 00:06:31,753 Speaker 1: Yeah, that is a way to have a boundary. Yeah see. 130 00:06:31,794 --> 00:06:33,553 Speaker 5: And I would like to say that he's just not 131 00:06:33,594 --> 00:06:36,393 Speaker 5: respecting the boundaries of other people then, and that's not 132 00:06:36,553 --> 00:06:41,073 Speaker 5: very fair. Interesting, And then people are saying that Sophie's 133 00:06:41,073 --> 00:06:41,633 Speaker 5: a Capricorn. 134 00:06:41,633 --> 00:06:42,514 Speaker 1: I'm a Capricorn. 135 00:06:42,873 --> 00:06:47,234 Speaker 5: I feel like she's a true Capricorn. Very headstrong, very 136 00:06:47,393 --> 00:06:50,193 Speaker 5: self like, disciplined and all that kind of stuff. 137 00:06:50,313 --> 00:06:52,394 Speaker 3: You should do one of all the cast Yeah. I 138 00:06:52,433 --> 00:06:54,034 Speaker 3: want to astrological plas. 139 00:06:54,113 --> 00:06:56,273 Speaker 5: Absolutely, I do really want to do that. 140 00:06:56,274 --> 00:06:58,193 Speaker 1: I love that. That's part of your job. That's amazing. 141 00:06:59,313 --> 00:07:02,354 Speaker 2: Mumma Mia acknowledges the traditional owners of the land.
