Actually start with you, James.
I mean, you never know what fans are going to latch onto and appreciate
when you kind of sign up to a projects and you make something.
But in the case of trend, it's obviously been that has.
Did you have an inkling
when that would be something that fans would take to or did it
take you by surprise when you kind of gathered that fans were quite keen?
It took me by surprise, but it was.
It was he just talking about his hair?
Yeah, we're just talking about my hair.
I think
it did take me by surprise, but my hair had a masterplan.
I knew exactly that this was going to happen.
And unbeknownst to me, I am in a double act.
And so, yeah, this is my hair's masterplan is planning to have his own spin off.
Not and just the hair.
Yeah, and it's going to take over.
It's going to take over a lot of things, including your mind.
Tell him.
Tell him what Joe Biden said to you.
So the president of America said to me when I met him and shook his hand,
he said literally, what he said to me was,
if I had hair like that, I would have been in office 20 years ago.
At which point I looked at Phil Dunster and he looked at me
and I said, Did that just happen?
That just happened?
Yeah.
I have to ask because it's absolutely mad.
How was it going to the White House?
I mean, where does that rank in a series of kind of
what the fuck moments this career has awarded?
I'm going to say that's number one. What the fuck moment?
I mean,
I guess it is.
Yeah.
I mean, just on the element of surprise, like,
I beg your pardon once and yeah, it's completely gobsmacking.
Certainly in the top five days of my life
of like being so gobsmacked.
You just want to know what are the four like the four days are now, Jeremy.
But yeah, I'm not sure what the are....
Yeah. No.
Yeah, that's another interview.
Yeah, that's a nice cover.
Let's keep talking about hair, but just one to
when you do learn of something, something that fans kind of like.
This is for both of you.
Does it alter the way you kind of all and can approach those
in future seasons or something, or do you kind of have to ignore
and avoid all of that sort of thing?
And just for that, for that very reason,
I don't really know, because it's up to the creatives,
you know, and the writers to do that.
I mean, you know, me making the sound I thought
would just be an episode one, but it just kept on.
Coming up, Higgins makes his sound
and I thought, Well, I can make, you know, a number of sounds, actually.
Thank you very much.
And you're a great sound maker.
I am. I am. But
that's what they meant.
So I just thought, Oh, well, that's the thing now.
And that's what
that's what they keep going to keep putting in.
Yeah, it does feel a bit like on this show that the writers have done
such an incredible job in ensuring that all the characters
kind of have their moment, which is no mean feat.
I just wonder, do you feel like you're in quite safe hands here as actors
when the scripts being delivered are so kind of inclusive in that regard?
Yeah, I would say so 100%.
I mean, it's amazing to be in a show where almost every character
gets an opportunity to show another facet of that character.
And, you know, they all become sort of 360 and, you know, for instance,
where we are now, we really know those players and the team.
So like I just find myself as a viewer rooting for AFC Richmond in a way
that I guess that's part of the joy of supporting a football team,
which I personally know nothing about, is that when you start to know
their personalities and their backstories and all that kind of thing, you know,
it's it's amazing to be in a show that grows the characters the way they do.
Yeah, there's quite a rare thing in my experience, for sure.
It's very unusual for a comedy show to have such a large amount of characters.
I mean, he's got as many characters as,
you know, a Tolstoy novel or something like that.
And and the audience pick up on the all, as Jimmy says, all the nuances.
When we watched the first two episodes in L.A.
A few weeks ago, I mean, when, when Danny says
when he told that Zava is going to be on the team and he says,
I literally wish for that, 30 seconds ago the audience went crazy
because they just know what his character is all about.
He's just like the most positive, joyous character.
And I mean, it's amazing that they pick up on everything, though.
Everything.
Considering how many people there are in the show.
Yeah.
I was wondering, do you guys still watch kind of...
any kind of routines of this show in terms of watching episodes?
Do you kind of get the family round on Sunday evenings
or something to watch the latest episode, or do you not actually even go back
and watch any of it? I've watched the other episode
twice, but not not much of it.
I watched episode three twice because it just made me laugh so, so much.
But I just trying
to watch it when I can on the day it comes out,
usually in the evening, if I've got time, if I'm around in the morning, watch it.
Then when it drops.
Yeah, again, I said watch it whenever I can.
But except for this last episode, Episode six, Billy Harris and Kola Bokinni
came and watched it with me and we watched it at my house.
At what time was on here? 2 a.m.
in the morning, I think it was, which is a very late, late night for me.
And yeah, we watched it sort of as it as it dropped, which was really weird.
Yeah, it was good fun.
It was nice. Yeah, that was good.
Thank you so much, guys. I still can't believe you.
Which I commented on your hair.
Yeah, Yeah, he can't believe it either,
but thank you so much. And best of luck.
The remainder of the season to you. Thank you.
