i would love to wear like a corset thing oh well you think you'd love to wear a corset
and then you'd have one on for an hour and you go maybe this is not as great i don't enjoy wearing
them i can never breathe properly right i know it can be late it's always too tight my wife always
tightens them too much it's magic breakfast harry it's scott and myself ronan keating uh i tell you
since paddy's day last week i just feel that we've just been keeping the buzz irish it's been so nice
it's been so lovely and it's an absolute this is like talking a hot property right now you know
hot property everybody wants a piece of this young lady she's on fire very exciting to have nicola
cochlin in the studio how are you great to see you i'm very good how are you yeah we are fantastic we
are very excited about you coming in um obviously because the exciting news the massive news that uh
we're going to get to see more dairy girls which is very exciting you know it's true yeah i know
all right now seriously it's it's dropping i think it's kicking it's dropping tomorrow
it's dropping tomorrow which is crazy i can't believe that it's already coming out it's so crazy
so when bridges and one came out um you i guess you don't really know what to expect on a new show
you're on that you're on the set you're making the show you've no idea how big it's going to be
and not at all so was there any sort of a buzz when you're on set of bridges and one
of the size of this behemoth of a tv show in some ways like you'd go in and it sort
of looked so epic on the sets you'd walk into this regency ballroom and everyone's
kitted out and completely custom gear and just the scale of its mass if you're in these amazing
stately homes and palaces and you're like okay this is not like a run-of-the-mill thing but then
you have no concept i'm sure like making a record you don't really know what it's going to be until
yeah it's done and how people receive it they can still throw money at something of course
and the costumes of course but it doesn't lift it really doesn't go well there's been what do
they call some ringers out there you know there's some moments where shows just don't work everybody
thinks it's the next big thing and it drops and it's like oh that didn't hit yeah so we definitely
had a little inkling but then for the scale that it went to i think none of us were prepared for
that it was like 82 million people in the first month that's off the charts so it was the number
one show on the planet nothing nothing had ever been watched or streamed as much as this show oh
so crazy they were just ridiculous yeah bonkers it's also it's filtered down so much into popular
culture you know they do those like those secret cinema things i know right balls don't they and
you can go and you can you can go and get oh i want you see i know i didn't wear a hat hang on i
want to know what happens to the bridges and balls i love to wear like a corset thing oh well you
think you'd love to wear a corset and then you'd have one on for an hour and you go maybe this
is not as great i don't enjoy wearing them i can never breathe properly right i know it can be late
i know i know it's always too tight my wife always tightens them too much now hang on a second you
mentioned bridges and balls because we have to you know we have to talk about something here because
i so my daughter and my wife they started watching uh bridget and my daughter's twenty she was 20 at
the time she's 21 now so they they said we're gonna watch this new series everyone's talking
about brilliant brilliant okay i said right i'll sit down with people so i start watching see
episode one well it was filled i tell you what i know and i felt you know i'm with my wife and
i'm with my daughter one of my my daughter's a bit awkward because it's like there's some scenes that
i just do that's fair that's very fair but then i was in my wife and me was ah yeah no it's not
for me really they binged the whole season in two three days maybe and that's eight episodes that's
not a small amount seriously unbelievable and i still don't feel right i mean it's super racy
but the thing is it's based on the romance novel and those are very racy it's a very important part
right but my mom's like oh they're going to be like down to laby i was like um
a bit not really and then knowing knowing what i knew but yeah but she's she's fine now at the
beginning i was in trouble but then now she loves it you already admitted to um and i
could imagine you're doing this like like telling your friends some of the secrets from the first
um have you managed to not do that i've been way better i've been way better because a
spoiler for anyone who didn't watch and i apologize but it's been out since 2020 so
look yes what can you do but um my character is revealed as lady whistles it was you all
it must have been so exciting though to be there i mean you're the anchor character in the whole show
like the whole at the end of every episode as we know that the letter appears and blah blah blah
yeah and and the whole show was anchored around yes there's lots of sex and lots of all crazy
stuff going on and bums and you know everything it's all happening lovely lovely bombs the lovely
bomb competition um but then it's all anchored around you and your character it must have been
such a buzz to be part of that it was crazy and also then to know that julie andrews is voicing it
you know that's just i mean what an icon what an incredible woman i was so excited to share that
role with it when i got cast i didn't even realize that was what the role was i thought she was the
shy wolf i was like oh brilliant it's shonda rhimes show and then with that extra level you
go oh my god i can't believe they've given me this part so cool yeah very very cool are there any and
i know you can't give spoilers we're your friends now so yes absolutely nobody's listening are there
any scenes any moments to come that make you go oh my god wow i can't wait for people to see this
yeah it gets it gets very dramatic my character's journey this season is very nail bitey oh yeah
stressful you get to see behind the curtain of how she gets away with being like your nails thank you
very much i know they're all nearly gone gorgeous thank you very much michelle class nails very good
i like it we're all gonna get our nails there yeah absolutely um yeah it's yeah the final episode had
my heart sort of racing throughout the whole thing yeah it's yeah it's very dramatic yeah you often
notice when um big shows get well shows become big and the main characters like yourself uh have
a little bit of ownership it always blows my mind i remember like watching them let's say suits and
then and season two all of a sudden they appear as producers on the show any of you is producing
the show now not that i know of unless someone's doing it secretly well i'd like well maybe they
are maybe lady whistle time i'll have to get my lady down hat on and try and find out i'm
like you secretly producing this yeah i think you should be absolutely you own this go girlfriend
i'll ring chandler and be like hey i have an idea they're like we've got enough room yeah
have you um ever nicked anything from the set go on yes i knicked some fake wisteria because most
of the flowers are fake so um i'm never watching it again i know knowing i'm a thief i know and i
took one of the little dance cards to the cards you wear on your wrist to when a gentleman wants
to dance the walls with you but they didn't mind i did ask i was polite but there was theory i didn't
ask i just was like yoink in the bag so good so i'm really wish that you know you were dating in
that era now is any part of you there's part that yes and part really no because the part yes is
that after a ball so you know the gentleman go i would like to dance the quadrille with you i would
like to do this and you go okay cool and then the next day if they liked you they show up at your
house with a gift and i'm like well that sounds great sometimes it was flowers sometimes it was a
puppy and i'm like imagine you hung over someone's like here's a tiny cute dog you'd be like oh this
is great yeah but um otherwise i think probably the personal hygiene wasn't the greatest in the
region sierra you could imagine i'm a big fan of deodorant so in that sense probably not i hope
there was no method actors on set oh god yeah no way we'd keep them far away yeah absolutely we saw
you at the baftas recently um how was it too much fun the best honestly it was like it was you know
i went and i was like it's gonna be you know maybe quite a quiet night and we'll go in and i went and
i was like everyone's having the best time it was sort of like a teen disco and galbraith i
was like this is brilliant and we had the fourier cast at one corner and then all these hollywood
movie stars in the room and everyone was dancing like a team disco it was absolutely brilliant
i loved it so much fun yeah any bad behavior you can tell us about oh so much content normally
joking i did dance on a couch at one point oh how dare you top of your heart you turn your shoes off
did you take your shoes i took my shoes off and i wouldn't put my shoes back on to leave as well i
was like no i was like my feet are too sore yeah but yeah it was all above board but great crack
i have to take it back a few um well it's a couple of years now i remember watching dairy girls yeah
the fabulous the brilliant very funny thank you so much i love the show there's an episode where
there's a boy's own song appears in it oh yeah i mean i'm you girls were actually about his own son
well yes jay don't forget jay was in season three season two yeah yeah yeah but in season one yeah
there was a boyzone i'm amazing who uh who was the fan in the show like uh was there a writer i think
it's it's lisa mcgee who's sort of our showrunner essentially she created it and writes it great i
think yeah so i don't know about season three because i haven't seen anything yeah so there
very well could be more boys i can't promise but i don't but yeah let's hope so i mean but it was so
that was so lovely it was cute it's nice to you know when you travel around the world
and shows like dairy girls that travels as well and yeah and people
ask me in interviews about oh did you see there was a boy's own song playing it's lovely it's nice
well it's mad because we all go like i wonder if many more boys don't watch it
from you know it's crazy crazy any any good music coming up in uh bridges and honey bunny
babies yeah there's um who is there there's some robin there's something harry styles
yeah but like penelope gets her own season so i already have a playlist
of things like are you saying harry styles isn't that this is there oh i wish i wish
harry styles music will fully petition for harry styles to be and who would not want harry potter
yes i mean penelope like sees him she's like colin bridget and uh maybe not
so harry of styles like okay maybe harriet styles
you go if you're listening harry that's what you need to do there we go and so back to jerry goes
but this is the final that that was the first the final series yeah because lisa mcgee always wanted
to take it up to the good friday agreement because obviously it's set at such a pivotal point in
history in northern ireland so it takes it up to that point it finishes in a very satisfying way
so okay yeah look forward to that yeah and when you're at the baftas you do much schmoozing i
mean when are we going to lose you to hollywood because surely that is the next i don't think
i'm very ellie i think i think you spend enough time with yourself i'm not sure i'm terribly lazy
a breath of fresh air yeah because it's so irish of you to even say that you totally are yeah oh i
don't know that you're talented you are fabulous and you deserve it but it's very kind i can only
imagine i said they're queuing up now to get you into films and tv because the other problem is
as you know in america they have they make all these films and they get american actors and no
offense to these american actors but they can't do irish accents oh god yeah there's a lot of i
actually wrote a podcast with my friend camilla whitehead called whistle through the shamrocks
and it was a parody of sort of americans and english people doing bad irish accents
tom cruise in um what was it called right away that was a big reference point
unbelievable why do you think we all sound like that harriet scott she's like she's she's worked
with me for four and a half years she has are you gonna be put on the spot now yes what would you
want me to say well just talk and you know you want me to do um uh ireland on northern ireland
