1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:04,240
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda's.

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 2: Well, our next guest is kicked off the year with

3
00:00:05,240 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 2: a bang, resulting in a bump. It's a brand new

4
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: TV series on Stand called Bump and this has already

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: broken all time viewing records on Stand, which is extraordinary.

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 2: Critics and viewers alike are loving it. Star and creator

7
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,400
Speaker 2: of the series is Claudia carbon and she joins us.

8
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: Now, Hi, Claudia, Hi, Amanda.

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: So nice to you.

10
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 3: How good I'm here as well?

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: Claudia Jones Hello. Sorry, but I know.

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: That you have history with Amanda because she's seen you

13
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 3: dance in your underpants.

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 2: Well all of Australia did. But is the last time

15
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 2: I saw Claudia? What we all saw Claudia was well,

16
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 2: last time I saw you was dancing with the stars.

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 2: If you kept you dancing up.

18
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's been one of those unusual years, hasn't it.

19
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 1: There hasn't been a lot of partner dancing. No, but

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:53,199
Speaker 1: I was thinking about Dancing with the Stars the other day.

21
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I think that feels like it was like four years ago,

22
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: twenty twenty for like the longest year on record, and

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: it was.

24
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: It was an extraordinary time to be on television with

25
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 2: a show like that because every week the COVID rules

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,399
Speaker 2: were changing. Every week, we were wondering if the airports

27
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: were going to close every week, We're wondering if you'd

28
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 2: be able to keep dancing with a partner as the

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: rules were constantly changing. Was amazing, wasn't it.

30
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it was quite a beautiful thing to be

31
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: doing while everything was in chaos because it was eight

32
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: hours of focus dancing, so you sort of got to

33
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 1: escape all the uncertainty and it was an amazing I mean,

34
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: we only had to cut it short by one week,

35
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: so we kind of survived pretty well.

36
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: Thought so too.

37
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 3: But this Bump is absolutely fantastic and it's great, particularly

38
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 3: in the year that we've had that we're seeing some

39
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 3: great Aussie content come out on our screen. And I

40
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 3: just love the premise because it's sort of close to

41
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 3: home because I've got adult children, as you know, d

42
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: how to have and I guess the great fear is

43
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: having a teenage girl, your daughter having an unexpected baby.

44
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, I think I think some women have been

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 1: inspired to get hysterectomies after watching FUM.

46
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: You just take a pill.

47
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 3: It's a extreme cloth.

48
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. No, I think we're lucky we weren't sort of

49
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: developing like a political thriller or a horror series or something.

50
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it just happened to be the right content

51
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: for this time. It's about resilience, and it's about families,

52
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: and there's a lot of love in the show. It's

53
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 1: very life affirming. So I think it's sort of landed

54
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 1: at exactly the right times, and I think that's why

55
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: it's been one of the reasons why it's being so

56
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: warmly embraced.

57
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: Have you got friends who've been in this situation that

58
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 2: they're not ready to be grandparents? Because that word means

59
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,120
Speaker 2: something grandparents sounds like you're at a certain stage of

60
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: your life, whereas like your character here, you're working, you're

61
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,240
Speaker 2: just getting on with it and suddenly bang, there it is.

62
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't, Actually, that's a good question. No, I don't.

63
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: I think teen pregnancies are like two percent of the

64
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: birth and it's right, there are team pregnancies, so she's

65
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: very Yeah, yes, it's quite uncommon here in Australia.

66
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:06,320
Speaker 3: Wow.

67
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: And then yeah, and then the other fact I read

68
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 1: was one in four hundred and seventy five pregnancies are

69
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,679
Speaker 1: cryptic pregnancies, So women who didn't believe or understand that

70
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: they were pregnant. So yes, it's a mysterious old world,

71
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,639
Speaker 1: but no, I don't. But look that the idea came

72
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: from Kelsey Monroe and it did happen to friends of hers,

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: and when she was on her second maternity leave, she

74
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: was toying around with ideas for TV series and she

75
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: just landed on this one because she saw it as

76
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: a terrific metaphor for what, you know, the experience of motherhood.

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: And if you put it in the context of a

78
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 1: sixteen year old with all these ambitions who actually does

79
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: not know, it's, you know, not that dissimilar from having

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: a baby when you've planned it. You know a lot

81
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: of the similar things you're feeling. But I think it's

82
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: just more dramatic and more comedic in the life of

83
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: her very ambitious sixteen year old girl.

84
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 3: So here you're wearing the producer hat again, but you're

85
00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: in this. You did this in Doctor Doctor. You were

86
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 3: just the producer had and Doctor Doctor was a fantastic series.

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: Ah, thank you. I love Doctor Doctor. I did that

88
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 1: for three years, created it with Ian Collie and Tony

89
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: McNamara has gone on to do unbelievable things. He's in

90
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 1: London at the moment doing second series. It is a

91
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: great which is a series that's also understand and it's

92
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: a ripper. If you haven't seen it, check it out.

93
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: It's one of the best series.

94
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 3: And do you what do you like to which hat?

95
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 3: Do you like being an actress or an actor or

96
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: do you want to wear the producer hat? Because i'd

97
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: imagine being a producer. You say, you don't get any

98
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: of the credit. No one goes, oh, how great is that?

99
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 3: You know, they always just talk about how great Roger

100
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 3: Corser is. They don't say how great is Claudia Carvin

101
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,360
Speaker 3: in that thing.

102
00:04:47,880 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: I know that that's sort of a release too, to

103
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: sort of be invisible. But yeah, you well, not only

104
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: you don't get the compliments, you also get all the

105
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: criticisms of the winging and you know, you have to

106
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: sort of put you're putting fires out all the time.

107
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: But that's also a nice role to do. And it's

108
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: nice working sort of nine to five as a producer

109
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: and you know, wearing your own clothes at work and

110
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: not having change, you know, in different costumes. But look,

111
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 1: my favorite I think is acting and producing going hand

112
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: in hand because the roles really do complement each other

113
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: so well. Because you know, if as a producer you're

114
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: not really on set a lot, I try to avoid

115
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: being on set because you sort of change the dynamic

116
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 1: of the of the of the feeling on set. But

117
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: if you're an actor and a director onset, then you

118
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: sort of constantly, you know, just constantly in the trenches

119
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: and able to sort of track the way things are going,

120
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: so you can be a lot more effective.

121
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: But do you find yourself in that time when you're

122
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: doing both morning tea someone's having two biscuits and you say, hey,

123
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 2: do you know how expensive they are?

124
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: Yes, that's exactly what is where I am. I love

125
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,080
Speaker 1: night lat them.

126
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 3: On the hand, I'm looking at you. Your big guts

127
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 3: not made of biscuits. Well, Claudia Is, it's always great
