- I'll start with you Eliot.
There's such a huge fan base
already in place for this,
for this kind of series,
for this franchise.
It must be so great knowing that there's this kind
of passionate audience already in place
but does it add a kind of pressure of sorts,
kind of knowing that a lot of the fans already have ideas
of who these characters are
and what they mean to them?
- [Eliot] I think it's added pressure
since we filmed actually.
Because I think I was in a way quite lucky
because I wasn't really aware
that there was such a big fan base until quite late on.
I kind of naively strolled in.
But yes,
I was very nervous for it to come out
but I've been,
there's a flip side of it
which is that everybody
if they like something,
which it looks like they do
is so warm and welcoming and yeah,
we've had such a lovely reception.
It's been great.
- Yeah.
Precious, I don't often get the chance to ask people
after the show is out
because traditionally junkets are kind of in advance
but today I can speak to you with the knowledge
and say now this is the number one show on Netflix.
I mean, how amazing is that?
Is it still quite overwhelming and surreal.
- [Precious] Yeah, it is.
It's really,
it's really overwhelming
because you can't see all the people
who have watched the show,
so you like,
it's hard to like,
I don't know.
I guess yeah.
I feel like it's hard to visualize
all these people watching the show
and enjoying the show and yeah.
It's been really,
it's been really nice.
And also we can't go anywhere.
So we can't actually see people's responses
unless we're online or on our phones and stuff.
So yeah, it's just been a mix of emotions I think.
- And Eliot going back to the auditioning process,
I imagine for something like this,
it must be quite rigorous
and do you remember how you,
where you were?
And how you felt when you found out you had the part?
- [Eliot] Genuinely, no.
Because I,
because it was,
I didn't do very many auditions
but it was such a long time between
because we were sort of penciled first
and there was this big wait.
So it felt like an ongoing conversation.
I think I was,
I think I was at the Edinburgh Fringe
which now seems so long ago,
when I found out that I got the part
and it was just sort of,
it all happened very quickly
and I think my mind jumped straight to
the logistics of like,
okay, so I've got to be in Ireland for a really long time.
And it wasn't really until I got onto set
that it hit me that we were doing a Netflix show
and I was in it.
I think it,
I had a really delayed reaction.
- And Precious, you obviously said that
it's obviously it's hard to know people's reactions
because we're not sort of out there at the moment
because obviously everyone's sort of stuck indoors,
but with that in mind,
did you have any kind of plans to watch it
when it launched last Friday with any family, zooms
or anything to kind of mark the occasion?
- I mean, yeah.
Like there were so many things I wanted to do.
Like at one point I even wanted to like,
because I work in a cinema,
like an independent cinema
and I really wanted to ask to have a screening
and then get all the cast
and all families involved. - That's would be so cool.
- Which would have been great
and we couldn't,
we obviously couldn't do that.
So it was just, yeah,
it was just me and my family,
like my younger sisters.
But they're fans of the cartoon,
so they were,
they were really,
really excited to watch it,
which is great.
- You can do the cinema thing for series two, I reckon.
- Oh, yeah.
- So I'm going to,
I mean of course the fans want to know
about who's playing these characters
they know so dearly.
So I was going to ask you some quick fire questions
to just get a sense of some of the,
your fellow cast members.
So I was going to start,
I'll start with you Precious.
Who was the biggest joker on set?
- Who was the biggest joker.
Okay, so it's a toss up between Eliot and Alicia.
Eliot is very witty,
like you're super witty.
- Thanks.
- And yeah,
you just know how to make people laugh,
which I love.
And Alicia is really silly.
And so she's always up for like doing like random things.
She also says like random things as if they're facts
which I find quite funny.
Like she would say like odd things
as if they're facts,
which is quite funny.
So I'd say it's a toss up between them two.
- One about Precious there,
I think Abigail and Danny both said
that you were the best dressed just to let you know.
Just passing on that information.
- Lovely, I'm 1000% agree.
- Yeah. - Thank you.
- Considering I'm sure there was a big wrap party.
Eliot I was going to ask who's the best
and worst dancer amongst the crew,
cast and crew?
- Oh no, I don't know if I can.
Precious knows.
I don't know if I can reveal that.
It feels mean.
I think everyone was a really great dancer
and some dance in their own way
but I hope that one day the public
will get to see the sight for themselves.
Because I'm not,
I'm not revealing that.
- That's very fine.
Precious, who would you say is the most likely
to actually have secret magical powers?
- Ooh,
who's the most likely to have secret magical powers?
I reckon Elliot.
I felt like everyone else would,
yeah, I feel like everyone else would
say that they had it.
(laughing) Like I know Hannah for a fact
if she had secret like,
secret magical powers we'd all know about these powers.
I feel like you'd keep it.
Yeah, you'd keep that.
- [Interviewer] Cool.
- Close to your chest. - Thank you.
- Brilliant, well thank you so much
for your time today guys.
And best of luck with the, - Thank you.
- if you shoot series two.
And I'll tell Libby you said hello as well earlier.
- I'm gonna text her the moment you go.
And I'm sorry I couldn't answer your dance question.
I really panicked,
I didn't want to throw anyone under the bus.
- That's okay.
(laughing)
Bye.
- [Narrator] Ladies and gentlemen,
you're watching HeyUGuys.
- [Guest] HeyUGuys huh.
Is that from the Goonies?
- [Interviewer] It is indeed, yeah.
- [Guest] Nice.
- [Group] HeyUGuys.
