WEBVTT - FELICITY WARD - THE OFFICE - PRIME VIDEO

0:00:00.200 --> 0:00:01.720
<v Speaker 1>It's in the news today, but it was actually on

0:00:01.800 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>TV Reload the podcast last week.

0:00:03.640 --> 0:00:04.000
<v Speaker 2>They're right.

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:06.400
<v Speaker 3>Hey, guys, welcome back to TV Reload.

0:00:06.480 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>I want to thank you for clicking and downloading on

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:12.039
<v Speaker 1>today's episode with Felicity Ward from the Office Australia, which

0:00:12.080 --> 0:00:16.200
<v Speaker 1>has been eagerly awaited its arrival on Amazon Prime. I've

0:00:16.239 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>always loved the English and the American versions of the Office,

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>so it's been exciting to check out the Australian version.

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I think it feels more Kath and Kim, more so

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Kath and Kim than the other versions that we've seen overseas.

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>It may polarize some, but one thing that you cannot

0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>do is accused Felicity of not giving this show one

0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.960
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent. Felicity will talk about her relationship with a series,

0:00:38.159 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>and her answer is actually quite interesting when it comes

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:43.800
<v Speaker 1>to which of the other versions she had seen.

0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:45.200
<v Speaker 3>We will talk about how.

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.199
<v Speaker 1>Felicity would get into her character and what props she

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.720
<v Speaker 1>kept eating, but probably is sounding much weirder than the

0:00:51.760 --> 0:00:55.360
<v Speaker 1>actual answer is. I will discuss the anticipation and if

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.080
<v Speaker 1>she has been scared or if she's been excited about

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>the country finally getting to check out our Australian version

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>of the Office. You will get everything from what the

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:07.680
<v Speaker 1>current state of players with series two, what level of

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>improvisation Felicity was allowed, and we will also share some

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>bonker stories from what it's like to work in offices.

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>There's actually so much to talk about today. With Felicity,

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we get some inside revelations. So guys, sit back and

0:01:20.280 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 1>relax as we unpack the wonderful world of the Office Australia,

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 1>which is now available on Amazon Prime.

0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Yes, but leaving marks.

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm in Queenslanes, I'm on holidays and so I just

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got my teenage mutant Ninja turtles and

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>just tell you.

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.960
<v Speaker 2>How much I love this, Ben, This is really my

0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:42.840
<v Speaker 2>like the amount of interviews I've done in pajamas on

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:47.520
<v Speaker 2>the phone, no bra, stinky anyway, on your holiday, Thank

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:48.160
<v Speaker 2>you so much.

0:01:48.720 --> 0:01:51.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I'm obsessed with the Office and I'm obsessed with you,

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>so it would be rudent for me to not be here.

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:54.880
<v Speaker 2>It actually would be rude.

0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Actually, are you excited or are you nervous? Because I

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I would feel. Because when you're sort

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:05.600
<v Speaker 1>of recreating something that already has an established idea from

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the audience perspective, and then you bring it.

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:11.359
<v Speaker 3>Into your own you'd be thinking, and you know, you

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 3>filmed it all, so you've you know, it's.

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 2>Nothing you can do about it. Maybe it's done.

0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 3>Are you nervous?

0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I'm nervous. But also this is the good bit, Like,

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:20.840
<v Speaker 2>this is a bit where I get I can talk

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.040
<v Speaker 2>about the show. I can talk to people about the show.

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.840
<v Speaker 2>We filmed it a year ago. It was embargoed for

0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 2>so long we weren't allowed to say anything. So it's

0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 2>so like I'm having the time of my life. I

0:02:31.400 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>get to wear pretty clothes and get pretty makeup and

0:02:34.080 --> 0:02:36.959
<v Speaker 2>talk to pretty people and talk about this show that

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:38.679
<v Speaker 2>I love and that I'm so proud of. And it

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 2>was like the most fun job I've ever had. And

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 2>I think that I like lots of people are going, oh, you,

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.239
<v Speaker 2>do you feel the pressure? Do you feel the pressure?

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, the only pressure I'm getting is from people

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.639
<v Speaker 2>asking me if I feel the pressure yea, because I'm

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 2>not on the internet, like Instagram has a function that

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.799
<v Speaker 2>says people you follow, that's the comments I'm getting. That's

0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:59.480
<v Speaker 2>what I'm reading. I'm not reading anything else. Because people

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 2>are going to have very strong opinions about it either way.

0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.160
<v Speaker 2>I've been really fortunate this week the people that have

0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:07.880
<v Speaker 2>seen it have really loved it, and that's how I

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 2>feel about the show. And I'll just let people have

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>their experience with it.

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, Well I did loll you know, and that's

0:03:13.720 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>what you want. That's the best review you want. Just

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:17.720
<v Speaker 1>want to know that someone lolled. But it was a

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>laugh out loud. I'm willing to say the whole sentence

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.000
<v Speaker 1>since yeah.

0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 2>Because lol is just an ironic way to say funny. Now, yeah,

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.440
<v Speaker 2>I genuinely laughed out loud. I know what's happened.

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to know about your relationship with the show

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>because I think I've got the relationship where I watched

0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 1>the English version first, and I mean that's what came first,

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of people watch the American version and

0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>then they went back to the English version, so they

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of have different relationships.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.000
<v Speaker 3>What about you? Do you have a preference with the

0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:46.840
<v Speaker 3>English or the American version of the Office.

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 2>Well, two things. I think that they are completely different shows.

0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 2>I don't think that not that they're completely different, they're

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 2>their own shows. I don't think you can compare them.

0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 2>I think They're both brilliant and they bring different things

0:03:58.560 --> 0:04:01.280
<v Speaker 2>culturally that the other show. You know, the first season

0:04:01.320 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 2>of The American One was all the same British scripts

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.560
<v Speaker 2>and sort of slightly Americanized characters, and there was a

0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 2>disconnect there. And then they started writing their own and

0:04:09.600 --> 0:04:12.600
<v Speaker 2>they wrote from their own cultural perspective, and then it

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>turns into this incredible, beloved, nine season running sitcom, you know,

0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:21.040
<v Speaker 2>like it was its own beast. I started with the

0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.160
<v Speaker 2>British One. I had never seen an episode of The

0:04:23.200 --> 0:04:26.600
<v Speaker 2>American One until we'd finished filming our one, and I

0:04:26.720 --> 0:04:29.040
<v Speaker 2>watched it and I was like, this, Steve Carell is

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 2>really want to watch. He's quite talented. I don't know

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>if my things, you know, he's an upcoming star.

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's interesting because like with that, with those

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.600
<v Speaker 1>performances of those men, Ricky Gervaise was so iconic, and

0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>then sort of Steve came in and there was what's

0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>happening with you? There's a bit of pressure, but then

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>Steve did really make that his own. But I guess,

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 1>upon reflection, do you look back at those two characters

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:52.720
<v Speaker 1>and have a favorite, Like, is there one of those

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>two that you prefer more than the other No, because.

0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:57.960
<v Speaker 2>They affected me in completely different ways. Like when you

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 2>watch David Brent, you want to tear your skin even now,

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:03.840
<v Speaker 2>even now when you know him and you love him.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 2>It's the most awkward, painful, annoying, revolting. He's kind of despicable,

0:05:11.800 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 2>and the power of the show is that you still

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:17.120
<v Speaker 2>root for him when he feels vulnerable, whereas Michael Scott,

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.159
<v Speaker 2>he just has a warmer face. You know, David Bran

0:05:20.279 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 2>hasn't been base. He's got mean little eyes, where Steve

0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 2>Carell has like big, open, round clown eyes. So even

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 2>from just what you're looking at, but David Brent looked

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 2>like a boss you have had.

0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I agree with that, And you know, when the

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:36.000
<v Speaker 1>script came across your desk, you'd think about all the

0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 1>other versions. But I wondered whether or not, once you

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.240
<v Speaker 1>stood in front of the cameras, whether you just were

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:45.320
<v Speaker 1>like zoning in on what you'd prepared and how you didn't.

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 2>It didn't cross my mind when we were filming. I'm

0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>not at any point did I go, oh, is this

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 2>too much like this? Or like the British office or

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.800
<v Speaker 2>the American office didn't enter my psyche once we started

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.400
<v Speaker 2>filming because it's just you don't know. I didn't know

0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 2>what it was like to film the office. So when

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I go in, I just I'm filming a sitcom. And

0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.800
<v Speaker 2>it was fun. Every day was fun. Like I'm very

0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:12.799
<v Speaker 2>of I've been in stand up comedy for sixteen seventeen years.

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I've never had the lead in a sitcom before. So

0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:18.640
<v Speaker 2>to turn up and have a you know, twenty years

0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 2>of experience because I was in a sketch show before that.

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.560
<v Speaker 2>I tried to be an actor before that, which means

0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 2>I'm very good at making coffee. But like, I have

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.320
<v Speaker 2>a long history of working really really hard and for

0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.240
<v Speaker 2>a really long time and you know, having some success,

0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 2>but not ever getting the lead in a sitcom. So

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>I was I've never been more ready for anything in

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:40.960
<v Speaker 2>my life as far as like the work is concerned.

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 2>I turn it up with a smile. Every day. I

0:06:42.920 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 2>was getting up at four point thirty. I'm like, great,

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 2>make some comedy. I was so grateful. I am the

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>most desperate lead of a show that you have ever met.

0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 2>You will never meet anyone more grateful for a job

0:06:53.240 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 2>than me.

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:55.840
<v Speaker 1>There's something very infectious about the way in which you

0:06:55.920 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>play this role. Like, there's something very funny, and I

0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:01.839
<v Speaker 1>have seen your like a lot of people in Australia,

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>We've been in your audience for a long time. I

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted to know about whether or not they let you

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>improvise a lot, you know, was it all script or

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>was it you were allowed to take some liberties.

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>I was both like this it was so well scripted,

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:18.000
<v Speaker 2>but also the way that Jackie and Julie worked, Jackie

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 2>Van Beek and Julie Defino, who's the out director and

0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 2>the head writer, and then they each wrote individual episodes

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 2>and they were along with Jesse Griffin like devised all

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 2>the storylines as well, and Jesse wrote some episodes too.

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.040
<v Speaker 2>It was so well scripted, but like sometimes we were

0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 2>writing the rewriting scenes while we were filming the scene.

0:07:33.880 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 2>So I'd be filming a scene, I'd have learnt it,

0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:37.880
<v Speaker 2>and then Julia go, hey, can you try this version,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 2>or can you try this line? Or let's do this,

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.720
<v Speaker 2>and so I was just ready for anything. And then

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.720
<v Speaker 2>they sometimes would just let the camera roll and go, okay,

0:07:46.800 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 2>see you can you know, you can muck around on

0:07:48.640 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 2>this version. So it was it was all things that

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 2>was just the best. It was the best of every world.

0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:54.880
<v Speaker 3>That's the best of it.

0:07:54.960 --> 0:07:57.000
<v Speaker 1>When you get someone like that to work with, Like

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>you speak to a lot of actors, they're like no,

0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:00.520
<v Speaker 1>it was like line my line.

0:08:00.680 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>You know now I need to feel like this.

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:04.000
<v Speaker 2>I respect that too, because if you haven't got good

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:06.160
<v Speaker 2>writing and got nothing, writing is the key.

0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think you know what's interesting as well as

0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.760
<v Speaker 1>like when I was talking to people about our Australian culture.

0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:15.120
<v Speaker 1>Our offices are very different to the UK and to America.

0:08:15.360 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>But I love talking to people about like bonkers office stories,

0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.720
<v Speaker 1>about things that people have experienced in themselves. And I

0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:24.800
<v Speaker 1>rang a girlfriend who I knew loved the office and

0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:26.920
<v Speaker 1>she works in office. She'd gone back to work after

0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>quite a few years. She said her first day, first

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>week back, they had this girl that was leaving and

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.160
<v Speaker 1>she was told, do you want to sign this card

0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:36.319
<v Speaker 1>to say goodbye to this girl? My friend was like,

0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>I've never worked with her, Like what what have I

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.040
<v Speaker 1>got to say? And then they went around and asked

0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>for money. Such a weird office culture.

0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 2>And then in the end show are you my Italian nummer?

0:08:44.960 --> 0:08:47.320
<v Speaker 2>What we can we put money in a birthday come

0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.200
<v Speaker 2>for anyway?

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.240
<v Speaker 1>They took her to the lunch and after everyone sat

0:08:51.280 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>around the table crying saying goodbye to this girl, the

0:08:53.600 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>boss went, guess what, guys, I'm not going to say

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>goodbye because she's not actually leaving. We're bringing her back

0:09:00.000 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>in a different role next week. And everyone just looked

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:02.920
<v Speaker 1>at each.

0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:04.600
<v Speaker 2>Other and I'm like, we need my money back.

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:06.760
<v Speaker 3>We'll put their money in. But like, don't you think

0:09:06.800 --> 0:09:08.880
<v Speaker 3>that office culture is just so bonkers.

0:09:09.320 --> 0:09:11.439
<v Speaker 2>I've never had a job in an office, but the

0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 2>stories that people tell me. I didn't interview this morning,

0:09:14.880 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 2>and they were like they said that. There was a

0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 2>one of the people who wrote in and said their

0:09:19.160 --> 0:09:22.160
<v Speaker 2>bosses checked their waste paper bin at the end of

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 2>every day to see how much paper they'd wasted, and

0:09:25.120 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 2>if they wasted too much, they'd make them take it

0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 2>out and cut it up and use it as messaging pad.

0:09:30.080 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 2>There's another one who said that they clipped their fingernails

0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:35.839
<v Speaker 2>or their tone I can't remember, in front of the

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.079
<v Speaker 2>other person while they're having a meeting and there's just

0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.079
<v Speaker 2>nails going everywhere. Who are these insane people? So like,

0:09:42.160 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 2>when you watch our office, like a Hannah might come

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:49.920
<v Speaker 2>across as mental, But according to real life She's very

0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.320
<v Speaker 2>tempered and very on brand for the maniacs that are

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:54.480
<v Speaker 2>out there running businesses.

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I had this boss once that I worked in radio,

0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and I you know, like I won't say which radio

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:03.040
<v Speaker 1>was mix of him anyway, And he sat behind this

0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.560
<v Speaker 1>glass wall that I could see through, and he knows

0:10:05.600 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>that I can see through that. But I'd watch him

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:09.400
<v Speaker 1>every day clean his ears with his fingers.

0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:11.480
<v Speaker 2>They said that there was one who cleaned their ears

0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:12.240
<v Speaker 2>with a paper clip.

0:10:14.559 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I clean.

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 2>I mean, I'd clean in my years with my fingers.

0:10:17.320 --> 0:10:17.719
<v Speaker 2>I do that.

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.840
<v Speaker 1>There's so much fodder for you to have with this show.

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:21.880
<v Speaker 1>There's like endless supplies of it. Do we know whether

0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>or not you're getting to do season two? Are we

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.319
<v Speaker 1>going to be talking in nine years when you've done

0:10:25.360 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>nine years of this show?

0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.439
<v Speaker 2>I won't be talking to you if we've got nine series. No,

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:35.959
<v Speaker 2>I'm joking. Yeah, I'll beat my pajamas next time. You

0:10:36.000 --> 0:10:38.440
<v Speaker 2>won't be getting full glam baby, you won't be getting

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.200
<v Speaker 2>gel males next time. I mean, look, the show isn't

0:10:41.200 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 2>even out, so I don't know. I don't know of

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 2>any show that knows they're going to go again before

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 2>the show is out, And we are no different. So

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:50.319
<v Speaker 2>we won't know until the show is out whether we

0:10:50.400 --> 0:10:52.599
<v Speaker 2>get to do another season. I really hope we do.

0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:55.440
<v Speaker 2>My god, this has been the greatest joy of my life.

0:10:55.520 --> 0:10:57.199
<v Speaker 3>Don't tell my son more, Hannah Howard.

0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>The last question I ask everyone who joins the pot

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:01.959
<v Speaker 1>is what is something from behind the scenes, something we

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.800
<v Speaker 1>won't see as a viewer, that kind of like a

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.280
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes secret about what.

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:07.240
<v Speaker 3>It was like for you to make this show.

0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 2>A bunch of people have asked me this, and so

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:13.040
<v Speaker 2>I'm trying to think of something that I haven't told anyone.

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 2>Let me go through a couple of things. So I

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.080
<v Speaker 2>put on five kilos as the show went on because

0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.000
<v Speaker 2>the catering was so good. Yeah. So the outfits that

0:11:21.040 --> 0:11:22.959
<v Speaker 2>I tried on the beginning of the series that fit

0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:25.280
<v Speaker 2>me did not bit. At the end of the series,

0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:27.560
<v Speaker 2>it was like, we need to take the trousers out.

0:11:27.640 --> 0:11:31.480
<v Speaker 2>That button is gripping for dear life, the hardest working

0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:34.800
<v Speaker 2>button in showbiz. That's one of the things. Something I've

0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 2>already told people this, But I had a bluetooth speaker

0:11:38.040 --> 0:11:40.560
<v Speaker 2>in my prop handbag, so in between takes I could

0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:44.679
<v Speaker 2>blast music and I could keep my energy up and

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.959
<v Speaker 2>just dance around. And the thing is, people don't tell

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:48.880
<v Speaker 2>you to turn the music off if you're the lead

0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 2>in the show. So I don't know if they enjoyed

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.079
<v Speaker 2>it or they would just being nice to me, but

0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 2>I assume that they enjoyed it.

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:56.040
<v Speaker 1>What was the go to?

0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:57.240
<v Speaker 3>What was blaring through?

0:11:57.600 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 2>No mate? I DJ at comedy festivals, so there was

0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:03.040
<v Speaker 2>an for a repeat, never a repeat. It was back

0:12:03.120 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>to back, just bangers. There has to be something. I

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>want to give you something that there.

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:10.640
<v Speaker 1>I do love the craft services. I remember once a

0:12:10.720 --> 0:12:14.319
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine, not to name job Hamish Blake, asked

0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.920
<v Speaker 1>me two friends, yeah, just pick that up and put

0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:17.240
<v Speaker 1>that here.

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 2>He was doing it.

0:12:18.200 --> 0:12:20.240
<v Speaker 1>My friends too, wanty something. I don't know if you

0:12:20.280 --> 0:12:22.479
<v Speaker 1>watched twenty something, it was really funny with Jess Harris.

0:12:22.320 --> 0:12:24.800
<v Speaker 2>And yeah, I wasn't in the country when they came out,

0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 2>but yeah.

0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:27.760
<v Speaker 1>It's really funny, So circle back and watch that. But anyway,

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:30.080
<v Speaker 1>it's very small production. They didn't have a lot of money,

0:12:30.240 --> 0:12:32.880
<v Speaker 1>so the extras were all free and so Hay was like,

0:12:33.000 --> 0:12:35.679
<v Speaker 1>can you come down. It's a full day. You're basically

0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.720
<v Speaker 1>being in a tent with a whole bunch of widows

0:12:37.800 --> 0:12:41.280
<v Speaker 1>for the whole day. But the craft services are amazing.

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>So I remember I went home and I had the

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:47.240
<v Speaker 1>face like I'd been at Sizzler. There was He asked

0:12:47.240 --> 0:12:48.840
<v Speaker 1>me to go back the next day to do another day,

0:12:48.840 --> 0:12:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and I was like, never again.

0:12:50.880 --> 0:12:54.480
<v Speaker 2>I have food poisoning. I'm six kilo spatter from yesterday,

0:12:54.559 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 2>so I won't. I'm trying to. I'm just trying to

0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:57.599
<v Speaker 2>think of a good one. I don't want to. I

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:01.360
<v Speaker 2>don't want to give you something then people have got, yeah,

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 2>that people have already got.

0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's actually I feel like I should email people because

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>this is episode like four hundred and ninety of this podcast,

0:13:08.320 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>and I'm thinking them. It often comes to a struggle

0:13:11.640 --> 0:13:13.120
<v Speaker 1>because people are like, this is like a lott of

0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>pressure to put someone under it. You know, it's not

0:13:15.000 --> 0:13:15.920
<v Speaker 1>because you want to deliver.

0:13:16.280 --> 0:13:20.040
<v Speaker 2>I will say I ate my snack of choice. I

0:13:20.320 --> 0:13:23.439
<v Speaker 2>ate veggimi and butter on cruskets every day.

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:24.000
<v Speaker 3>Every day.

0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.959
<v Speaker 2>Every day. They'd be like, Janet a stack, do you

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.000
<v Speaker 2>want some cruskets. I'm like, yeah, I want some crusts.

0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:29.840
<v Speaker 2>If I believe in the UK we don't have cruskets

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:31.600
<v Speaker 2>and I have veggiemie at my house, but they don't

0:13:31.600 --> 0:13:34.160
<v Speaker 2>have it anywhere else, so I'm a lot of crosskets.

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:37.599
<v Speaker 2>It was so good. Take it with you, and you

0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:40.760
<v Speaker 2>know how it is it Minty's or fantails that have

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:41.520
<v Speaker 2>gone out of business.

0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:44.600
<v Speaker 3>The fantails are out of business, which is so sack

0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:45.319
<v Speaker 3>because I love those.

0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 2>There was a big jar of mintis, I think on

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 2>the reception death and I ate so many of them

0:13:53.120 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 2>and they had to cut them off. They're like casting

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.160
<v Speaker 2>through it. You got to stop eating the mintis. That's

0:13:57.280 --> 0:13:59.600
<v Speaker 2>it's like a prop. But I would still sneak them

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.120
<v Speaker 2>because I fucking love Minty's. Yeah, so that was like

0:14:03.160 --> 0:14:05.959
<v Speaker 2>an ongoing guy. You've got to stop eating the Minty's.

0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:09.520
<v Speaker 2>It's a prop. Okay, we can't afford more Minty's.

0:14:09.760 --> 0:14:11.680
<v Speaker 1>You were the ob his choice because you were getting

0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:14.120
<v Speaker 1>bigger and you were probably the only one eating the minties.

0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.640
<v Speaker 1>They should have been like, it's you Angela Pree would

0:14:16.640 --> 0:14:16.920
<v Speaker 1>have known.

0:14:17.240 --> 0:14:18.920
<v Speaker 2>But I had fresh breath. Let me tell you that

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:20.120
<v Speaker 2>that's chunky.

0:14:20.240 --> 0:14:22.160
<v Speaker 3>But I had fresh breath, and that is all you want.

0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Can I say, I congratulations on doing this. I think

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.400
<v Speaker 1>you're brave for taking something like this on. But I

0:14:28.480 --> 0:14:31.120
<v Speaker 1>think that it's amazing and it's funny, and I can't

0:14:31.160 --> 0:14:33.280
<v Speaker 1>wait frustrate or watch it and fall in love with

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:34.760
<v Speaker 1>it for its own reason.

0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:36.200
<v Speaker 3>And it's it's nice.

0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:39.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, with television, we want to see ourselves reflected back.

0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.160
<v Speaker 1>That's how we relate to it. And there's so much

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:44.960
<v Speaker 1>of that happening in this show. It's very sort of iconically.

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.640
<v Speaker 1>It's Kathy Kim, you know what I mean. And as

0:14:47.720 --> 0:14:50.080
<v Speaker 1>much as people will say that that's making fun of people,

0:14:50.280 --> 0:14:52.120
<v Speaker 1>it's actually us and so us.

0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 2>It's us us, Like all of the characters are on

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:59.080
<v Speaker 2>their people. Everyone who watches the show will know at

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:00.960
<v Speaker 2>least one or two of the people in there that

0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:04.000

0:15:07.640 --> 0:15:10.560
<v Speaker 2>I would I would really encourage people to watch the

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.920
<v Speaker 2>whole series because it is so funny. I just think

0:15:13.960 --> 0:15:16.160

<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:23.240
<v Speaker 1>When Kathy Kim first came on television, a lot of

0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:26.480
<v Speaker 1>people saw it and was like because it was so

0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>relatable to them. They were like, it was like home

0:15:28.360 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 1>and away on neighbors. They didn't see the silliness of it.

0:15:31.400 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>And the more you watched it, the more you thought

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.160

<v Speaker 1>when you watch Kath and Kim, it's fucking hilarious.

0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:41.160
<v Speaker 3>And that's because it's one of that style. It's that

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:43.200
<v Speaker 3>style of comedy which you do so well.

0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:46.160
<v Speaker 1>And it's the more you watch it and the more
