Congrats on the show, guys.
Thank you.
It's great fun.
Gary, I feel like you and your I presume he's a friend of yours, Mr.
Brian Cox.
His character from Succession and your character from this need a swear-off
because you're both so good at delivering.
That would be that's what the world needs
A I swear off between me and Le Roy, is it.
Yeah. You're in the right. Yeah.
I mean, I worked with Brian in the studio.
I thought you did. In the theater.
You think?
I did. Rat in the Skull with Brian.
Amazing.
Yeah. When he.
Yeah. So I saw that.
You did? I did. Oh, my word. That was.
But we need to show you two on the stage just swearing at each other.
It will come back.
Yes. That wonderful fuck off, isn't he the way he says that?
Yeah.
It's one of the things I love about this show is that.
Is that it's a spy show.
But the sarcasm the British sarcasm is just so, so well done.
Is that fun for you guys to not just to read, but to perform?
Because it has such a kind of Britishness to it?
Yes, I think and I think the fact that we're playing characters of a certain age
means that, well, for me personally, I can be even more British.
And I think there's there's
I think that's some of one of
the successes of this
program, actually, is how English is.
I mean, we're filming in the Barbican at the Aldgate
and now
and we're filming around London,
and it's really great to do that.
And I think with TV programing, I think with Squid Game, suddenly we were
we had a window into Korean imagination and sensibility.
And I think that Slow Horses is actually serving up something
very English to do with as well with our humor
and what, you know,
I think that's one of its strong points.
Yeah, I love it.
I really enjoy it.
It's quintessentially British.
Yeah, I really like it
when characters come in and clash with that.
That's fun as well.
And on the slightly sort of run-down-ness of it, even today's very British
change does it?
I would just I was just talking to your costars
and I was saying about the house is quite claustrophobic.
Does that in some ways bring you guys closer together, given that you are
in such close quarters together most of the time?
Yeah.
Well, Slough House. Yeah. Yeah.
So our house. Yeah. Work.
Catherine and Lam are on the top floor and we have a look,
we have a little more room up, you know, up there.
But once we once you sort of
come away from that, that rarefied air that we breathe up there
and down to where the grunts are, that
the horses is pretty, it can get pretty squashed.
Yeah. Yeah, it must.
Yeah, it very well you know we all we
well touch wood thus far.
We will get on.
We. Yeah.
We just have a laugh, we have a ball and it really is,
it's lovely to sort of well we do a job
where I think we wake up in the morning and want to go into work.
Yeah. I mean, we're lucky.
We're lucky, you know, I've got the best job in the world
then to go in and actually
to want to go into work and see the people
that you working with and hang with them.
I think it's like it's just a cherry on the cake and it really is.
Yeah. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you.
