THE ONE THE ONLY DOMINIC COOPER IS ON
THE SHOW, LOOK AT THIS GUY.
HOW ARE YOU.
>> NICE TO SEE YOU FROM THE BASEMENT.
>> James: IN THE BASEMENT WHERE, OF WHAT.
>> I'M IN SPAIN, SOUTHERN SPAIN IN A HOTEL, THIS IS A ROOM, IT
IS FINE, WE MAY OCCASIONALLY HEAR A TURD SLIPPING PAST MY
HEAD BECAUSE ALL THE PIPE WORK.
THERE IS RUSHING WATER.
>> James: I LIKE WHAT YOU HAVE DONE WITH THE PLACE.
>> TALK ME THROUGH THIS LOOK, I'M LOVING THIS MUSTACHE IT'S
KIND OF KARMEL, ARE YOU MODELING YOURSELF ON IAN KARMEL, IS THAT
WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
>> NO KARMAL-- KARMEL'S IS BETTER.
>> I CAN'T DO MINE AT THE END.
>> WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR, WHAT IS GOING ON THERE?
>> YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED.
>> I THINK YOU LOOK GREAT.
NOW WE'VE SPOKEN MANY TIMES SINCE YOU'VE BEEN ON THE SHOW
THAT WE USED TO LIVE TOGETHER AS FLAT MATE, LIVED TOGETHER FOR
ABOUT TWO YEARS, GIVE OR TAKE, AND WHAT DO YOU THINK LOCK DOWN
WOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE IF WE WERE STILL LIVING TOGETHER?
I CAN'T WORK OUT WHETHER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST OF
TIMES OR WORST OF TIMES I THINK IT MAY HAVE BECOME BSH-- I DON'T
KNOW, WE WERE VERY HAPPY WITH ONE ANOTHER IT WOULD HAVE GOT
TOO MUCH.
MANY A MORNING I WOKE UP AND YOU WERE NAKED IN MY BEDROOM.
>> DO YOU REMEMBER YOU CAME IN AND JUST HAD A-- OVER YOUR SOFA.
>> I ONLY WALKED IN YOUR ROOM I WILL TELL YOU WHY, WITH ONLY A
FOOTBALL-- OVER MY, WHAT I LIKE TO CALL THE PRIZE, IS BECAUSE
DOMINIC AND I RENTED A TWO BED, TWO BATHROOM APARTMENT AND
DOMINIC TOOK THE BIGGEST ROOM WITH THE ENSUITE AND I HAD THIS
TINY CORNER ROOM WHERE THE BATHROOM WAS OVER, HE USED TO
CALL THE RAT CAGE WHICH WAS OVER THE HAULWAY AND THAT BATHROOM
FROM THE DAY WE MOVED IN TO THE DAY WE MOVED OUT NEVER, EVER
WORKED.
AND WE NEVER CALLED THE LANDLORD ABOUT IT, I WOULD JUST WALK
THROUGH HIS ROOM, AND USE THE FACILITY.
>> I FORGOT THAT WAS THE REASON.
BUT WHY DID YOU ALLOW ME TO HAVE THAT ROOM?
I NEVER QUITE WORKED THAT OUT.
I REMEMBERED WHEN WE WERE WORKING TOGETHER, YOU WOULDN'T
TAKE THE ROOM.
>> THAT WAS ANGIE, YOU HAVE DONE THIS TWICE, WHEN YOU LIVED WITH
ANDY THE IDEA WAS THAT YOU, THEY WERE LIKE WHO SHOULD GET THE
BIGGER ROOM.
AND YOU GRANTED COCKROACHES IN THE BIGGER ROOM AND WHEN OH MY
GOD, AND ANDY WAS LIKE WELL I'M NOT HAVING THIS ROOM, AND WERE
YOU LIKE LET ME HAVE IT, OKAY, FINE, THAT IS JUST, THAT IS
JUST-- BUT NOW YOU STILL LIVE ON THE VERY SAME ROAD THAT WE USED
TO LIVE ON.
I WAS CONCERNED, THIS PHOTO WAS TAKEN BY A PAPARAZZI PICTURE, IN
ALL OF THE NEWSPAPERS, I SHOULD SAY BEFORE I SHOW THIS, YOU LIVE
ON THE THIRD AND FOURTH FLOOR OF THE TOWNHOUSE, SO WHAT IS GOING
ON HERE, WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE?
>> IT WAS-- I THINK THE LATTER PART OF THE FIRST LOCKDOWN SO
THAT EXPLAINS THE GRIMACE AND THE HAIR AND THE WILD LOOK.
THE SHEEP WAS OUTSIDE, AND ORDERED TO TAKE IT BACK N I WAS
WAS TAKING IT BACK IN, I HAD TO MOVE THE HEAD, AND THE HEAD
HEAD-- THE HEAD WAS FROM THE SHOW I DID FROM PREPARER, THAT
IS AN MASK.
AND THAT WAS-- I CAME BACK TO THAT, IT USED TO BE IN YOUR
HOUSE.
>> I TOOK IT BACK FROM THE GREEN TARP WE HAD.
>> SO THIS GUY WAS THERE TO PROTECT YOUR CARS.
AND HE DID WORK FOR AWHILE BECAUSE AS SOON AS HE WENT, YOU
HAD YOUR-- YOU HAVE HAD MULTIPLE CARS STOLEEN OUTSIDE YOUR HOUSE,
ONE OF THEM GOT A HAPPY ENDING.
TELL US THAT STORY, WHAT HAPPENED?
>> WELL, I WAS LEANING OUT MY WINDOW TO BRING THAT BACK IN, I
WASN'T ALLOWED.
AN AS I WAS DOING, THAT I WAS LEANING, AND THEN I HAD TO SPEAK
TO THE NEIGHBOR, I GOT CAUGHT IN THAT POSITION FOR TOO LONG, I
DIDN'T WANT TO NORTHBOUND THAT POSITION, I'M THERE FOR A REASON
AND THEN REALLY, I WAS LIKE THAT, AND AMAZINGLY WHILE I WAS
AWAITING THIS JOB I GOT A PHONE CALL, THEY FOUND THE GUY.
VERY RANDOMLY AND I THINK-- YOU KNOW, I WANTED TO SEE IF I CAN,
EVERY TIME-- ABOUT EIGHT METER EMPTY WINE BOAT, AND THAT MONEY
WAS STOLEN.
BUT FINALLY I MANAGED TO GET THE-- I THOUGHT I WOULD NEVER
SEE IT AGAIN BUT A POLICE OFFICER PHONED ME AND SAID
DOMINIC, YOUR-- WAS FOUND, WE FOUND IT IN A SCRAPYARD, IT WAS
ABOUT TO BE SHIPPED OFF TO EUROPE.
SO IT WAS AMAZING.
YEAH.
>> YOU GOT IT BACK.
>> NO, I SO I IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A BIG RUSE.
>> James: NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR BRILLIANT NEW SHOW SPY
CITY, FOR ANYONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW, TELL US WHAT IT IS ABOUT
AND WHO YOU PLAY.
>> I PLAY SOMEONE, ABOUT A SPY WHO MOVES IN, WHEN RUSSIA AND
GERMANY AND THE FRENCH, HAD THE FOUR SECTIONS OF BERLIN, BEFORE
THE WALL WAS GOING UP, HE UNCOVERS AND UNEARTHED WHAT
EVERYONE WAS UP TO.
IT IS A VERY SECRETIVE TIME, VERY NEFARIOUS TIME AND IT WAS
INTERESTING FINDING OUT THE DYNAMICS OF WHAT WAS GOING ON
THERE.
AND HOW SCARED AFTER THE WAR, TO NOT MAKE ENEMIES AGAIN, AND THEY
DID SO MUCH WORK.
WHEN I SPOKE TO THEM, I BECAME OBSESSED WITH THE HISTORY OF IT.
AND HOW DIFFERENT THINGS WERE BUT ALSO HOW SIMILAR THINGS ARE
NOW, IN TERMS OF THAT, WITH THE WALL AND SEGREGATION AND I
REALLY WANTED TO GO INTO THAT WORLD AND FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
IT.
THE MANY ASPECTS OF WHERE ALL THE SPIES COME FROM.
>> YOU ARE BRILLIANT IN THE SHOW AS YOU ARE IN EVERYTHING YOU DO.
