And I'm Paul Neskill.

And we're going to be reading thirst tweets about Conall and Marianne from our show, Normal People.

Conall and Marianne have had more sex than I did in my 20s and I'm only on episode four.

I've had more relationships now on screen than in my actual life.

How red have I gone?

You're blushing, you blush a lot.

At the mention of sex, I just go red.

Marianne saying she would take Conall's dick pic to her grave is my favorite part of the whole series.

That's a really funny gif that I've seen where it's me being like, up your dick, preferably.

And I think like, it's just so weird.

That's Marianne and Conall when they're like happy.

So that like, that is a fun scene.

But I remember we were going to maybe do, we were going to maybe leave out that she asked for one back.

And I was like, no, I think Marianne should ask for one because we're doing 50-50, you know, they're equal, you know, Marianne.

Marianne may want that.

And so I also just love how uncomfortable Conall is at asking.

He's like, I don't know if you would want to take a picture of you naked.

I love it.

You sound really Irish there.

You went like, I love it, I love it, darling.

The sexiest bits of Normal People are when Conall apologizes to Marianne for hurting her.

And then he seeks support from a mental health professional.

I wouldn't say sexiest.

I'd say there's a satisfaction in seeing Conall apologize.

And there's a satisfaction in seeing a young man talking about his feelings.

Oh, my gosh, yeah.

It's interesting when you like, you watch someone feel that way.

Like, that is, you feel very close to that person, even though you haven't met them.

Like, I felt very close to Conall watching that scene because I so related to what he felt.

And obviously, your performances are amazing.

Yes, sex is good.

But have you ever tried just watching Marianne and Conall instead?

Oh, I want the world to eat me up.

That's nice, but I'm not sure what to say.

I'm going to move swiftly onwards.

Not Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap played during Normal People's montage sequence where Conall and Marianne are getting it on while acting like strangers in school.

I'm confused by the syntax in that tweet.

I don't know what they're saying.

I knew because I didn't realize that that Imogen Heap song was also also the bit where it goes like, hmm, what you say?

Yeah.

So I like, after watching it, I then obviously listen to the playlist and it's like, oh, it's so beautiful and dinky.

And then I listened to that song the whole way through and I was like, oh, my gosh, that's what you say from that SNL clip.

Have you seen the SNL clip where they're like shooting each other?

I do like that montage bit in episode two, though.

Yeah, that's really beautiful.

Like the song is so perfect for it.

Like that was like that song was in my head for a long time after watching the episode.

OK, I'd be lying if I said the 10 minute long sex scenes in Normal People didn't make me horny.

But when Marianne asks Conall if he likes another girl more than her and he pushes her hair away from her face, I can't relax.

I'm banishing. I'm finished.

Well, that's nice.

Again, I've gone right for the record.

This isn't good for your blood pressure.

What they're saying is it's like the moments of kindness are what they find most sexy, more than the sexy bits.

Maybe they climaxed emotionally.

Conall ensuring consent every step of the way and then calling Marianne pretty when they have sex for the first time.

That is so sexy.

Hashtag Normal People.

It is so sexy, isn't it lovely?

People seem to forgive Conall very quickly.

They do also forget that he asked them to keep it private.

Yeah, we'll just move swiftly past that and get to the sexy bit where he talks about consent.

But I do think it's so wonderful that that is a conversation that they have.

Because I don't, like I've never seen, like it's very rare that you see scenes like that where that even is something that they talk about, that and like protection.

It is like I'm very proud of that stuff that's in the series.

I agree.

OK, I'm loving Normal People, but when Marianne and Conall are not in the same scenes together,

I don't like it.

I love them together.

Hashtag Normal People.

Oh, that's nice.

I mean, I think, yeah, I think by the end of filming, because we've worked together so much, like whenever we were in a scene together, we were like, ah, we don't even have to like do anything.

We just say the lines, you know, because we kind of got so used to like working together.

When Marianne says, carry me over to your bed on Skype and watch us and fall asleep f***ing sideways,

I am sobbing.

I agree wholeheartedly.

It's so cute.

Imagine we did that scene, but instead of Skype, they used House Party and like they're in the middle of it, like Joanna pops on and she's like,

Marianne!

Like Lorraine comes on and she's like,

Conall, my Christmas miracle.

Oh, that's...

No, but I remember looking at that when I saw that bit for the first time,

I remember turning, first time I was watching it,

I was like, Marianne isn't human.

She is an angel.

She is superior to all human life.

The sex scenes in Normal People are very hot, but Conall buying Marianne a book of Franco horror poems is what personally gets me.

Like that is so like Marianne and Conall, you know, her favourite gift is like a book of poems.

The hottest part of Normal People is not the sex, but the moment in Italy when Conall grabs Marianne around the waist to stop her launching herself at awful Jamie.

I cannot explain why it is so hot.

You will just have to trust me that in a sexy show, that moment is the sexiest.

That was so funny to film though, because like, like we love Fionn so much, like he's one of our like best friends who played Jamie.

Like Fionn is just so annoyingly wonderful as Jamie.

You just want to like full on...

Just like, aah!

Like when he's like, where's the cream?

You're like, oh my God.

And also it's nice to see Marianne like, because she's so kind of composed, see Marianne slightly like, boiled over.

It's quite nice.

Didn't think Conall and Marianne could be any more attractive.

And then in episode eight comes along and they're in Italy with boss bronzies and well, flames, flames, flames.

What you didn't see, embarrassing like knickers that we had to get into to be tanned on the side of like a mountain.

With like, turning and being like, okay, turn around now.

Feeling like a piece of meat rotating around.

And people think that's sexy.

Well, I'd love them to see the photographs of the like white G-strings we were all wearing, trying to get tanned.

In the shower when it's dribbling off and you're like,

I'm a mess.

Because at one point, because obviously we got the tan and then we'd wash it off in the evening and the next day it would look a bit more natural.

But at first, you genuinely looked like a body, like a bodybuilder.

Like it looked like you'd have been like, you were like sparkling.

It was like problematic how tanned I was at one point.

I loved it though, because underneath all of that tan,

I was like pale and like, unwell, because I was so tired.

But the tan, it just washed it all away.

I felt great.

Do you know that, do you know when you turn from the washing line, that it's such a great, like it's an iconic Marianne reveal?

Marianne's got a lot like, hey Conall, how you doing?

She's like, very quiet.

Yeah.

And I'm also whispering from a great distance away.

It's like, they're whispering to each other.

I know, yeah.

Conall was just like, eh?

If you ever watch that episode back, just acknowledge how quiet

Conall and Marianne are that scene.

It's a mistake.

Carried away on the wind.

She's inside chopping up strawberries and she just hears, it's very quiet, coming through on the wind.

Conall's flight to New York was cancelled due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

And he's currently self-isolating with Marianne in Kirkley.

And don't try to tell me otherwise.

I mean, the novel is set in a time that coronavirus doesn't exist.

So, unfortunately, you're wrong.

I think Marianne's living with Lorraine, helping her out round the house.

She doesn't look like she's working for a living.

She's an intellect.

She doesn't believe in the capitalist system.

First of all, that Kirkley house does not need two people cleaning it all the time.

It's not that big.

Yeah, but

Lorraine's done a lot of cleaning for Marianne over the years.

Maybe Marianne wants to clean for Lorraine.

I think she's, she's just settled, isn't she?

She's finishing her degree.

She's smashing it.

There's a statistic chance if Conall went to New York, he could have got coronavirus.

If he got it, they would be self-isolating.

They'd be Skyping all the time to each other.

That's the thing.

They'd get, they'd marry, they'd be house partying.

I have almost finished

Normal People and I think I'm more invested in Marianne and Conall's relationship than I have ever been anything in real life.

That's a lovely degree.

That's so lovely.

Also, I'd recommend not doing that.

I think always focus on yourself rather than fictional characters.

That's a really good advice.

That was good advice.
