00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 1: women weren't allowed to talk about anything, and that's what

6
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:17,279
Speaker 1: made us kind of victims.

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: A lot of women make false accusations that completely destroying

8
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 2: us in men's lives, How do you know they're innocent?

Speaker 2: Oh thanks, yes, amazing.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. When did you hear about it? How did you

13
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:39,199
Speaker 1: find out? What was your reaction? Oh?

14
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,319
Speaker 2: I woke up this morning. I knew that they were

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: coming in overnight and I just like told myself, don't

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 2: because it is going to be like about one in

17
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: the morning that I would find out, and don't wake

18
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 2: up because you'll never get beat to sleep either way,

19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 2: going either way. So I woke up in the morning

20
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: and then my wife had texted she was working late

21
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 2: last night, so she found out first. So yeah, incredible,

22
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: So stoked.

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: You're nominated in the international category. And it is a

24
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: tough it's going to be a very tough field. I've

25
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: seen obviously seen your show, but also seen Showgun, which

26
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: you're up against. Which have you seen that? I mean,

27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: it's a brilliant show.

28
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: Right I haven't, but yeah, play all accounts. It's incredible. Yeah,

29
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: so yeah, I mean just the competition is huge. But

30
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 2: you know, like I think after the Party stands out

31
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,200
Speaker 2: in kind of his own way. You know, it's this

32
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: little show, you know, up against something like Showgun, which

33
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: is ginormous. You know, so it could go either way.

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: You know, like there's so many great shows in that category,

35
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: and you know any one of them deserves us lovely

36
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 2: to be part of that totally.

37
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it about the winning or is actually

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: and put it into context for us being nominated in

39
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: a category like this at the Bathtter TV Awards quite

40
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: a big deal.

41
00:01:56,720 --> 00:02:00,080
Speaker 2: It's it's huge. It's so huge. It's like, yes, one

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: of the biggest awards nights of the year. You know,

43
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 2: it's like it's up there with the Oscars, you know,

44
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: less well known, I suppose it, but the Baptist sort

45
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 2: of holds like quite a lot of respect internationally within

46
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: the industry, and it has so much integrity you know,

47
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: because the projects that sort of go through there are

48
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,320
Speaker 2: often a really high standard. So to sort of be

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 2: nominated is just out of the amount of shows that

50
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 2: you can watch nowadays, is phenomenal.

51
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 1: Really, The reviews since it dropped in the UK have

52
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: been excellent. Is it? How successful has it been overseas?

53
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 1: And I guess how do you know, how do you

54
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: syndicate it? How do you tell?

55
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: Yeah? Where we sort of get some feedback from Channel four,

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200
Speaker 2: who's a broadcaster in the UK, and they, I mean

57
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: they just are in love with it. That it was

58
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:54,519
Speaker 2: their second highest drama I think for last year to

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: broadcasts in streaming, and I think their top top show

60
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: for just streaming. So it's the massive achievement what it's

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: done over there. And just I didn't get over there,

62
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: but there was a lot of people who just sort

63
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 2: billboards everywhere, you know, and seeing Robin's face all through

64
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 2: London as you know for a little Kiwi show. I

65
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: think it's really lovely, you know. I think the thing

66
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: that I find amazing is just how people watch the

67
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: whole series through, you know, because I quite often I

68
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 2: just watch it one of things, you know, and never

69
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 2: get past the next one, but the completion rates have

70
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: been through the roof, so I think that is a

71
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: really good sign that it's doing well.

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: You must be doing something right then, Thanks so much,

73
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,840
