Ooh, my co-hosts top three skills.
Ooh, my co-hosts top three skills. - Top three.
I've got two.
What else are you good at?
Okay, I’m done.
It's harder for me to find one.
I found yours pretty easily.
There you go.
Right.
Three, two, one...
Go. - Okay.
Talking, shouting, not listening.
Okay. Mine was a bit -- - Maths,
beard is not a skill.
Awh, it’s an excellent beard.
That’s not a skill. - I'd say it's a skill to grow a beard that good.
Not eating meat is not a skill. - Maths and not eating meat.
Because you're a vegan.
That's not a skill. - That's very admirable.
To summarise my co-host in a sentence.
Okay, I’m done.
Okay, give me a chance. I'm not very good at spelling.
You don’t have to write my full name.
Is it a ‘h’ in Jonathan or not?
Is it an ‘r’ in prick?
Okay, you can't say prick on the BAFTA socials.
Sorry. Sorry.
Fucks sake, Romesh.
Sorry about that.
Alright, ready? - Yep.
Three, two, one...
Terrible lover. Excellent cook.
I put he lacks self-awareness.
If they made a TV show about Romesh...
I mean, there’s not a show he’s not made.
Producer: A drama.
A drama.
Well, he’s done one of them as well, haven’t you?
Got quite a long title this show, innit?
Got quite a long name.
So this show about Romesh is a true crime show on Netflix
called The Fall of Romesh Ranganathan From Telly to Prison.
Okay, that’s a bit close to the bone, mate.
Yeah, exactly.
So I do like sort of biographical stuff.
My drama about Rob Beckett is called Never Past Pilot.
It's an ongoing struggle of somebody - Yes.
trying to get different TV formats onto the air
but never making it past the pilot.
I would say I should deserve some sort of special award
for the amount of pilots that I've made
that have never been commissioned.
A lot of work goes into those pilots
and a lot of people get employment through that.
Can I suggest -- - Sure.
I never get a series or a recommission,
but I think in a way it's inspiring I'm here
considering how many cancellations of shows I've had.
Everything he does gets recommissioned.
I'm just lucky that I'm on one of them.
Mm-hmm.
Never Past Pilot.
My co-host’s weakness.
I've got this.
I’ve got this.
Okay, you go first.
Okay your weaknesses are...
Clothes and crisps.
What does that mean?
What?
Don’t be so defensive.
What does that mean?
Well, you buy clothes on a whim.
Okay.
Quite expensive ones, don’t you?
No.
Yes, you do.
You’ll say to me, “Oh my God. I've just spent all that money
on some clothes. - Oh my God,
That's a private conversation. - Yeah, and
if you do get a family bag of crisps,
they become a solo bag. - That happened once.
Every time we film.
Honestly, if you give him, what are the little vegan ones you have?
I have hummus chips.
Hummus chips. Game over.
What's mine?
For Rob’s weaknesses I’ve put
he has none, I love him.
Oh.
They're nice clothes though.
Cut please.
Producer: My co-host will be good at hosting because...
I've got mine.
Okay.
So Romesh will be good at hosting because
I'm going to be there supporting him.
Look, I don’t -- Okay.
Is that nice?
Yeah, I’ve put my co-host will be good because he wants to get home.
He doesn't want it to overrun. - It’s true.
He’s not gonna hang around.
So we'll just stick to time and we'll both be home pretty early doors.
Yeah because obviously we want to reward people
for their great, hard work and all the effort
they’ve put into acting or whatever telly they've done.
But ultimately,
I do want it all wrapped up by about 8pm so I can go out on the p*ss.
I'll be going straight home.
I'll be drinking
And just so you know, if you happen to, after the BAFTAs,
see me at some sort of after party,
I'm a hostage.
Yeah. He will not want to go.
I'll go, get a few drinks, it’ll be lovely, wouldn’t it?
Yeah. Not together.
So one last thing I want to write about Romesh.
I don’t know what to say.
You go.
Hold on a second.
Aw-ha!
This is nice. He's writing lots of things about me.
Okay.
I have written...
I'd rather be hosting without him.
What have you written?
Um, congratulations on everything you've done.
I'd say he’s, you know, won two BAFTAs now
and hosted the Royal Variety, hosting the BAFTAs
and selling out, the O2 Arena he’s sold out, and he's worked really hard
because he was a teacher and he had to put everything on the line, you know?
And his kids and wife sort of, there were points where
where he should have just sort of you know given it all up
but he ploughed on.
And it’s been amazing.
And I think his parents have moved here from Sri Lanka
and you know, he's a first generation immigrant,
the stuff he's done on TV is really remarkable.
So just well done, mate.
Um, I’d like to change mine.
(Both laugh)
Me too.
(Both laugh)
they become a solo that once.
