  • see, I was gonna do a very serious, not serious, but I wanted so I was gonna talk about writing the show.

  • What?

  • We can deal with that if you want.

  • What's behind?

  • Have you done many interviews talking about the show yet?

  • We haven't done many interviews.

  • Really?

  • Okay, Now And also, people never ask about those things.

  • Well, I'm going to know.

  • Okay.

  • When you sit down and write the show, always like Mark Lawson already going, D you know, obviously, when you're writing for the last little Britain or whatever, you you had your character, we could not pick.

  • He knows what I'm doing.

  • I'm just I'm just scratching it now.

  • You were picking it?

  • Well, kind of Hear on the radio.

  • Get away with it.

  • We're on the webcam.

  • Sorry, sorry.

  • Sorry.

  • Cameras hurry and then we'll pick it up your face if you flick.

  • You think nothing of my put it.

  • I put it back up there where it belongs.

  • This is like my audition for, you know, BBC two or something down using night.

  • So obviously you writing forget well established characters.

  • But with the new show, you have to establish the carrots are very quickly.

  • That's right.

  • Did you find that a challenge?

  • I thought it was a really nice thing.

  • I mean, just in general, right?

  • Little Britain became so much bigger than we ever, ever, ever would have dared to dream.

  • So there's no point trying to compete with that.

  • So the best thing to do is just start over on no pressurized yourself to make a show as big or successful is that Onda We felt what we can't We can't be as big as that.

  • But we could be funnier than that.

  • So that was just we just as usual, We just write what makes us laugh.

  • But it's a big cleaner than little Britain.

  • It's a little bit a little bit more family is fun, creating new characters.

  • You think you know, you don't exactly know how they're gonna sound, how they're gonna look how they're gonna walk, you know?

  • And it was it was quite a pressure, I think creating so many new characters all at once.

  • But I think they're quite vivid.

  • He ride together, don't you?

  • So do you ever have a scenario where David arrives or matter?

  • You turned up and you go?

  • I've had a brilliant idea.

  • So right.

  • We have an idea off this character on glee, making this and that and this that the other And I'll be really funny.

  • And the other one goes, Yeah, you do.

  • Sometimes you don't share the same vision.

  • But then the idea is, hopefully you then offer something to build on that you don't just go.

  • Oh, no, that's rubbish.

  • You go.

  • Okay, Well, okay, that's interesting.

  • But how can we pull that toward?

  • And you didn't discard lots of things that you don't end amusing?

  • You know, we do create also characters that we don't use until that's fine.

  • Because if you write lots and lots and lots and lots, then you can afford to discard some.

  • So it's not normally tense of one of you says, I really like this idea and the other one doesn't really get it.

  • You just can't be too rude about someone else's idea.

  • That's Rob.

  • Even if you do, you'll think is rubbish.

  • Me just trying to build on what might be good about it.

  • I think I picked him out saying the word interesting.

  • I might use that if we I have no next brainstorming session interest here.

  • I guess I got an idea.

  • Interesting, Alex.

  • But his mind coming like you are now.

  • Normally, you look at me.

  • Go.

  • What?

  • No, No, I don't.

  • I'm very I'm very much a team player.

  • You've got to say something like again.

  • It's sort of apprentice speak.

  • You go.

  • I'm gonna run with that.

  • But I'm gonna run with that tablet.

  • Later on, we'll come back to that.

  • It's all just all of that kind of pussyfooting around, basically.

see, I was gonna do a very serious, not serious, but I wanted so I was gonna talk about writing the show.
