episode, that saying often. I've only watched one episode. Yeah, Are you gonna watch? More. Oh, definitely. I'll say this, I haven't watched any of it because I don't believe that Disney can land what the Troubles was like. I don't think they can really do that. No, I think that. Disney I.

Can I, can I tell you this? One of one of the actors in it is stranded. I I've just been, I just did a show in Amsterdam on Monday, Paris last night. Travel Chaos. Travel chaos. I'm alright, I'm here on time. But that little guy I was with, he's stuck across the water. Why does he get stuck?
It also sounds like you're talking about your deck, but go ahead. This is the I knew I left something I left in one of those customs trays. Who hasn't left their deck in Paris? A lovely romance movie. Yeah, my Dick in Paris. So this is a blend of me and Willie fucking travel things up and what we've done is. Both love that we've you always model through it. Yeah, but yeah, I can't. Like I'm here. But we we've both.
It's a little bit like McDonald's and Burger King creating a perfect burger together. We've taken what they do, what we do. And then Whopper, we've made a giant. What a Mcwhopper. Exactly. And I'm filming at the deck here, so. We ours is leaking. So we his ours is. That what it is and we leaky hole member. He's he's he was in Dario Gilman. Little people. Yeah, we leaky. That's the name of the bar. The way IRN form and code names and sign off an episode. So.

This day, because then we're awaited by tomorrow. So, Karen, this is a life. I'm I'm getting, I'm getting a panic attack. Yeah, you. Came to Hollywood today and this is you've to book.
The rest yeah, yeah, after this. It's going to be jet lag going back on the Wesley setting his watch back the back to the right time. Ken Murr is your Dubai. So that's the, that's the Intellectual Republican. You look like Ken Murr. That'll be your name. Ken Murr. Guys here to do the bit for the 'cause. Right, so we do. The Paris gig last night was great. We do Amsterdam on Monday. Guess who's on our flight? Oh, Nolan. Oh. Nolan. What a Nolan going to the dam.
What a star-studded flight. We chatting him. Yes. OK. Then we did the Amsterdam show. Me and Willie after, go for a wee smoke in one of the coffee shops. Excuse me, but just respect all in there for 45 minutes, play Jack, change it. Had a bit of a giggle and I said back to hotel, Yeah. Then we flew to Paris, did the parish show. We stay. I booked the hotel right beside Garden Nord, right the main train station, because I'm like that smart because we the
flights back. The only good flight back was like either 6:00 AM this morning or like late this evening. So I went, well, here's what we'll do. We'll stay beside Garden Nord. We'll get the Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel and we'll go from Paris to London, say an R45 on the Eurostar and we'll fly from London. Massive. That's a bit of fun. That is fun. You know what I love trains. Go ahead. Yeah, it's a bit of fun, we'll
do that, but we'll get. Years from now, doctors will tell me it's an early sign of something, but. Well, he tells me he at the start, he told me he was fine for every European date months ago. Then he was doing that. Then he was, I'm fine. This is a Willy. Do you know what I want to know though? Because whenever, whenever he tells me he's fine for a load of dates and then he isn't, it's 'cause you. So I want to know what he tells you. He had his own, he has his own
tour to be fair. So he went, oh mate, there's some of these I can't do. So I held off booking some of his travel. So what a transpired was I had booked like the 6:58 AM Eurostar. He was booked on like the 720, so no real hassle where I've said train station. Anyway, when we got to the station, I was like, ah, you're actually on the next train after me. I'll meet you at either some Pancras or we'll just meet at the airport. And he's like, yeah, it's fine, you know?
Well, he's like easy going. He's like, remember? When we were at Saint Pancras, we saw out of bio. I can find one that's right there, didn't we? Absolutely, you know. I played for. Wagner for Wagner. Yeah, and he's jacked. We couldn't believe it. I complete. Do you know what's mental though? People would refer to him as being a fat footballer. He's just absolute stage. He's just a unit.
Yeah, you. Know what I mean Well that's why the the white at a bio I confirm that's what he called you that's. Right up. So we so we. Yeah on Chloe shoulders for headers. I don't know why I find it funny. So, Well, he's on the dream by me. All good. Yeah, as always. That I was delayed by a bit. We had one delay and then we were in the Channel Tunnel for quite a while, like maybe half an hour. What stopped? Yeah, yeah. So I'm texting Willie. We're a bit delayed.
You there might be a knock on for you. He's texting me when I'm in some pancreas going. We've been delayed massively. There's been a medical emergency. Thankfully it wasn't Willy. He was stuck in the tunnel for ages. So. I bet he was raising. We were really stuck in a tunnel for ages. We're texting each other back and forth and I was like me, you're not going to make this flight.
He goes, I know of no chance. So I said I will procure a later flight going from London back and he said that on so I want Skyscanner, but I'm walking through security doing this. I don't want to, I don't want to be over, you know, I don't want to sell out. Then there's no way of getting back. So I'm like quickly doing this now. I had the day before checked out of curiosity to see what would it be to go. We already have our Dubai flights. What would it be to for a business flight?
I won't want to do it. But it was like, I wonder what that will cost. It was like sitting in the hotel lobby or something. To go up business from here to Dubai. Yeah, but I had my so I typed in Belfast, London and the cheapest flight was like 282 quid and then it was like 489 hundred. I was like, Jesus, it is near Christmas, it's a busy travel time. So I just bang London City. I was going from Gatwick. I go London City, 240 quid I think it was with BA booked.
I text that to Willie. Here's your new boarding pass. Here's your new flight. He's like, fuck sake, this is still a nightmare. I said, well, sure, you can just take your time. Go in the London City now. He's like, yeah, yeah, sounds good. I'm on the plane getting ready to go. I get a text from Willy. Ah, fuck, mate, I'm a Gatwick. I thought when you said London City, you just meant, like figured out like it is a city. You just meant the City of London. No.
No, then I realised because I then went, I then went to Skyscanner UK, to Belfast and I was going to say something like there might be, see if you're near the train station, there might be a flight from like Birmingham really cheap later on tonight. I like how your airports keep getting further and further. Well, say Birmingham or somewhere closely. Saving. Get yourself to Glasgow, then go from there. Stranraer. Get on the boat. Well, I have to do, just walk it.
Walk into the water at Stranraer. I did do you. I typed in UK to Belfast to see if anywhere else we could pull a few moves. Then I was like why? Even if I'm look at birming because it says there's 17 LB flights. Well, there's a Turkish guy says he's been piggy here and a rubber dinghy with her. William Tuck Tuck's on its way to get you. Well, there's a drone from Amazon around so. What's he doing? I had a philtre on my Skyscanner search for business.
I booked The Wee Bastard a business flight that he missed on British Airways. Willie David, Richie Rich in New York. Is there is there a bougie or booking on online a business flight that you don't take? Well, also it's the shortest business flight. Yeah, it's going from people in the large What? Business. Is Willie doing?
40 minutes people in lounge will have heard passenger William we have a William Tulsa be able to be like fuck he's killing with that much and he just decided just now. So what is Willie's current status? Where is he now? I'd say morale is low. Willie is in the United Kingdom, I believe he's in England more specifically, and I think he's bouncing around train stations like. Where is he going to fly from there? He said he would book himself a
London flight later. There was there was quite a few. Like does he mean just in the in any of the boroughs of London? Yeah, well, he thinks you just turn up to any airport in London. Hello. What's your destination, Sir? Home. I'm at Gatwick because, sure, you've got the like when you're over there, you've got to like work out what trains you have to get to which place. Yeah. So he's actually worked that out. Yeah, You know what I mean? So. I think he went up to the ticket barrier.
I mean, you both have done a real number on yourselves there with this. Yeah, and I'm not surprised in the slightest. Many key name all the airports in London. Many is there 5. Gatwick, Stansted. Luton City. That's it. That's all. Heathrow, Gatwick, Luton, Stansted City. That's it. Used to be another one. South End, but then only if I do the place from. Place 5. Or. Exciting. Well, alright, but well, hope. That we that we, that we city airport over there troubles me.
They love council on a flight to Belfast like. Because it's a it's a cheeky airport. Is it? It is. It's very cheeky. It's I love when people are like, yeah, lunch, you're clearly worse. You're really in the city. Yeah, I'm just like. What? This is not the area of the city. I need to be, yeah. I'm like, I still have to sit on a train forever. Yeah. So when you're not allowed to talk. Well, you're in our prayers, brother. We hope you make it to Dubai, if not Assam. Alaikum, brother.
Yeah, him too. Is he stuck with Willy Sal Malaikum? And then Willy Stockman. So you're going. To see Eminem on Saturday. Well, Eminem's Majesty died, so we don't know. Eminem's mad. Just crooked, yeah. Sorry, Mama. I. Know that's a good point. I know, but he but he might realise now she's dead. He loved her. How sensational would it be though? He just does the gig anyway. Yeah, and and just repeat that song. Clean out my closet. Here I think he will. He was big money.
Said I'm sorry Mama died yesterday. Awful Eminem impression. Yeah, it's not your best one. But yes, we don't even, we don't know. We don't know what the crack is. But listen, we'll get to the buy and we'll go. You know that will go. Yeah, We'll drop a shoulder. It was. It was. It was. It was worth it for. Although we won't drop his shoulders to Andrew, Ands from the shoulders are permanently going to be up. Shoulders are out.
Yeah, you better is. This guy isn't there a guy over there at a minute from here who left a review of a dog grooming place he was working on and the review has had him. He's been arrested over he's been he's been captive there since October. Serious. Right. So he's not coming to the show. Sorry, that's isn't that, that is UAE, isn't it Dubai, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. That's. Right. So hold on. He was working for a dog grooming business. He was working for a dog grooming business and.
And he's got arrested. The story I'm only reporting what I've seen on on reputable, reputable news websites he's. Such a man I know, he's such a Belfast. Man, I'm only telling you. What? He told me right? But then I am. I am because I, I read that. I read that First minister from here, Michelle O'Neill was in touch with people from the UAA and London to be like, can't hear any chance like you, can we? Could get Willie on the case. There by 4. O'clock, of course.
So, so like the, the, the story is this guy was working for a dog grooming place out there. He has he, he had fibromyalgia. He gave a doctor's note and said he needed a bit of time off. They're meant to have sacked him. He left a scathing review apparently of the place and because, because when, when they took, when, when they basically sacked him, that means he loses his right to work there, etcetera. He left a review. The review wasn't well received by the government there and he's
been arrested. And I, I, I mean, Don, I hope he's been released, but I, I don't know that he has. I'm saying that to you so that you might look it up and see. Yeah, if people don't know, dance the ambassador. Yeah, I look, I looked this up. I I looked this up last week. Yeah, hopefully he's out. Alright, yeah, sure.
Here we'll sure. We've said Fausty is an envoy to London to fetch Willie. So like I because I said that Willie don't leave reviews of anything and he never responded to it. So don't. Do that so he doesn't understand. Hardly. It's like their communication laws are don't be telling Andrew very different. From you, Jesus. He loves he loves to leave a scam review. Yeah, Willie, of course. Complain about flights until he's back. Here, Willie, of course, one of our castmates on Chancellor.
Correct. Sorry, can I just say this? I think if they did arrest and Iran, they would give them back. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. They'd be like, no, you're all right. Yeah, you're trying to. Save the money on the royalties, yeah. You know what I mean? They. Place Lamborghini for you to leave this prison right now, yeah. Guys, we've talked about Willie being. 4 wheel drive, keep it met. See. These are all. Better off with a naughty mate. Keep going to be mental on that.
No thanks, Matt. Where would I keep it? Yeah, Julie. Julie's cars there my always. There's a wee bit more English there. Nowhere to keep it, man Julie. Major Royal might. So here the first thing people will see on chancellors, unfortunately, that man's face. Aaron Butler's face opens the whole series. That is the beautiful when you sent me the preview of it and I was like, this is. Already I didn't know if I was allowed to send. I sent I oh, I fucking I heard. I heard about that.
We haven't talked. About I've been bootleg in the preview, you know, happy, I said. Any anyone that I've gone here, this is coming out soon so we'll need your help for promotion or whatever It's just gone. I've seen it yeah I'm like right sweet. That gives them incentive, but. Here. But you know what I it was? It was better to just let let the car see. It was too. I disagree but like it was too set. There there was that you were trying to organise some sort of screening. I know.
Yeah, yeah. That's why I let the car. See, I thought we were still doing that. I have that marked in my calendar. On the well, you would have to do it in the next few days because it's going to be a. Date that it's out before the. I know, but I thought we were done on the 11th. I wasn't told any difference in my calendar. I think Oh shit, my Vertigo. Genuinely, my Vertigo kicked in harder when. I threw my head about all right, you know, take a, take a rest, hold on.
Is everything OK? Yep. There you go. All right. Let's not do that again. What what you threw? My hair back and I just went. That's class. No benign professional or something. I think it's pretty good. It's a good super. Park, it's fucking you Can't fucking March out. Not anymore. Don't rock out. I haven't been able to smack kids in concerts. What about like a like you just resent? I just have to. Sit there like I'm at the show bands and go. Try not to fucking Peshmathites.
Yeah, I said. I've said the link but. Oh, I know, I know, I know. But I've always, like I said, it was. He told me I was texting. I texted him the other night. I texted him the other night to. Say so we were on the phone that's. What I was I phoned you all night to. Say him and Willie are the only people. Have you haven't said that then Anybody, Kieran? I sent it to people in the industry who show. And members. Here he goes. Cast don't say it until the TX is as far as.
Why down? What have you heard? As far as producer type, the same name, surname issue. Yes, Chloe said it. Chloe is the assistant producer on the show. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mickey. Mickey. Mickey saw a couple of bits of it do. You know what that is? Bartlett. Bartlett's looking after Bartlett. Yeah, that's. Typical. He's the Trump. Nabatism over to a. Pardon everyone, maybe their bastard. I made Mickey dress up like Donald Trump so I could send them.
Yeah, yes, I, I, I sent, I sent it to Aaron thinking that Willie's train might be cancelled too. Might be doing it today so we had some to talk. About yeah, the viewers are in for a real trade because the first phase they get to get greeted with is mine, as we had in the sketch, which that's. A funny sketch. It is good fun. It's a good way to start the show and then it continues on sketch. After it was hard to know like the order, the order. Note the order, sort of. Went back.
And forth. Almost melt and things to try to even think about because it's ever feel like when I felt this, like when we were making, I feel that's why when I'd be making anything like that is like you're focused on making a good and just get like getting it done. And then there's like there's all the stuff that comes afterwards, which is like what order should this go out in?
How do we promo this? All the paperwork that goes with it. It's like all this stuff that when you're making it, you're just not thinking about it whatsoever. I got to say, after we've finished shooting, I've had by far, in a way, the least to do. I've had nothing to do, yeah. That's. Well, to be fine, I had. All the ads now which? Is great, I had to colour it sound. Oh edit it. Edit Yeah. Do all that kind of stuff, notes he had to do.
The paperwork I had to do a mountain of monotonous tasks. I just had to keep texting the group sent. I'm getting a good, good feeling about this case. That was my job. I'll be like. Guys have done the paperwork for that one so. Yeah, joke here. Never said that's a paperwork done get I never know why. Because if you say that, sure as fucking they're shiting a dog when you say that's it done. Somebody emails you and goes, oh, here, have you done that bit
yet? And you go right, No, I haven't because it's never been fucking matched before. That's. The, you know, if it was, if it was me doing the paperwork, the whole thing would be like, you'd go to watch it and be like, why is it dubbed in Chinese? Why is it like early Jackie Chan movies? Why is there a huge rumble in the Bronx?
Yeah, it's one of the, you know what though, I'm just glad that like that side of it is is done and like I will say wants to see see after that side was done, I watched it one night like last week and just enjoyed watching it for the first time. Is that the first time you watch it? No, no, I've seen it multiple times, but I've been seeing it going like, oh, somebody says this at that time.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That song comes on at this second Melt where I was like, so I've seen it, I've seen it a lot, I've seen it through the edits. But I mean, this is the first time that I sat down and sort of went, this is a finished thing now. Yeah. I just actually enjoy it. And it was I actually. Really did. I've done a few interviews and stuff about it this week and I'm not going to end up but. Oh no, let's. The one. The headline on the Belfast Telegraph. Here's what it.
Is doing. An interview, Belfast Telegraph during it, I guess it was like, yeah, I've got as long as you want here, so just ask questions. I tell you prepare questions. Great journalist. One of the questions is the guy from the Radio One DJ guy from here is on. I'm A Celebrity. That's right. Is that something you would ever do? And I said, oh God, no. As if there's no amount of money in the world would make me want to do that. I would hate that. I I'm surprised you're surprised by that.
I'd hate that. No amount of money. Oh, that's a lot. Yeah. There's a mind of money. It's OK. I tell you what, It's relatively low. It would be the least they've ever paid to accompany it, right? But but in like, would I love to do that? No, I would hear it and I was basically like 100% get why people do it as well because it's a once in a lifetime experience. I'm sure they've great cracked in it, just not my thing at all. I would hear it. That's it from pages of Belfast
telegraphs today. Picture of me. First of all, picture I don't like come back in the archive headline as if I've said this. I may be a celebrity, but I wouldn't do the jungle. That like that's that's a front page headline. You think I've said maybe a celebrity? I've made me laugh like I like you know when people say lol and the mostly gone like out lol yeah I roared out loud laugh about. That I understand. I understand. Yeah, there's actually I've. Actually we are vertical.
I've I've had I've had bottom away through our chimney breast because of that headline this morning. I. Understand the licence that like slightly, you know, it's like, you know, make it make a thing look like a thing. But and I don't say it's not dark arts or anything. It's just meant upon type headline, but like Jesus. Not ideal to promote your upcoming sketch. No, not not ideal. It couldn't just say like brand new sketch. I'll never do the jungle, but guess what else I have?
So we haven't really even, I mean the interviews are always a page and stuff anyways. You don't really get a chance to like talk about, talk about this stuff that you want to talk about the in depth talk about the and where and where this came, where this whole idea of a show came from. Behind the scenes, well, let's start with that word did how did it all? What's the creation? What's The Big Bang that happens that creates chancers? Who who approaches who? Who works with who first ways it
all pan out? That's my first question. I I know the answer. Yeah, you go ahead and I tell you what's the same answer. Me and you would meet regularly for coffee in cafe or you would hold court. It does hold like Denzel and Gladiator. Two, I already want to disagree and say I meet you in all wee places that you like more often, like like wee battle in the hench places. I try and do. Middle of nowhere. I try and do an equidistant coffee meat. Yes, halfway between where you.
Spoke But as time goes on, that gets a lot closer to to cafe or care. All right. Yeah, Yeah, it does. Yeah. Thank you, but. I just move in chess faces just gradually. Make you make it down to Ken Moore this weekend. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Is it Ken Moore? Ken Moore? Ken Moore? Yeah. Ken Moore. It's just a guy you go say sorry. So. So we all and we always threw around like we didn't made
sketches for years. I I should credit you and say, though, that it was your idea to sort of get me a Nile to make the first couple of sketches that we did. Yeah, because we had, we had made sketches, obviously the Keith and Balter stuff and all that kind of thing. And then we would always meet and be, I've got an idea for this sketch, I've got an idea for that sketch and the result. And there were sketches that have been around in our heads
for years that are in the show. I might just sketch where this happens and that happens. And then I think Niall had shot something for me. I can't remember what it was specifically. And and we got me and him were chatting about sketches and he was like, I'd love to do more like sketches. So I was like, well, me and him have like a ream of sketches that the three of us should meet to talk about and then and we're dead. And it was like, oh, what about this one?
What about that one? Yes, we did the bad Series 1. Is that the first? I think so. The banshee bones wasn't it of any share in the party. And then we just sort of said like what if we, what if we make these as like high end as possible? So we met like 4 of them. So we did 3 or 4 sketches. They look like, you know, real like, look expensive basically without being expensive. Because. We're there for nothing, and then we thought that was a
better way than submitting. A script or something? A big. Document. Because people never read it. They either they don't read it or they'll play it out and yeah, the way they think in their heads. Yeah, which will not look cinematic. Or, or it might just be a totally different theme or whatever then. So we're like, there's nothing better than just doing it. And hopefully they do good numbers and people like them.
Yeah. And then all of them really took off and it was just literally like Niall being a whole production company. Yeah, I think before we move forward with any of it, he's not here. But we have to sing the praises of Niall because unbelievable talent. I like. I've obviously background and video and shooting and you've edited your own clips and stuff all the years. You, you get it. Like the outstanding machine. You the you've edited nothing. I will fucking put.
You to pace this. I'm I'm at it in my fucking rage out murder fucking spree right now. Edit the go out of your brain here's going to give you. Here's going to give you a kamikaze here but one one last head but. Take us both. Don't make me put the head back. But the the suffice to say now is an unsung hero who deserves all the praise and all that. I can tell like the impact from seeing it from the advanced preview, that shame wasn't meant to send me that it was a labour
of love for. Him well, like loads loads of the I sort of think loads of the humour in it is because is because of the sincerity of the production like, you know, like. Yeah, well, I'll say this nicest shot looking thing that I've seen every like. Yeah, almost like every second of it has something going on. Yeah. Whether it's like the music it sounds like it's been scored by like. It's unbelievable. Like, it's unbelievably creative the way he shot that.
It's so clean. But even like that sort of thing was there when we were doing, you know, the, the, the sketch that we did, the the nose sketch. Yeah. Like I always remember that there was like a couple of shots in that that were like from inside of bed and all. And like there's some other ones in this where the actual placement of the camera just gives you like more immersion in the sketch like so. And that doesn't come from us. We only know really how to say
here's a here's why this is fun. Yeah. Yeah. We can't necessarily put that on screen or give you anything other than the words on the action. Yeah. So it's all, it's all about the way that it's shot, the way that it's cut and. Then like the IT. Looks, it looks like it cost yeah, £1,000,000 to make. Yeah. And. It did not. It didn't, unfortunately. The the So you just put a little taste or read together, you bring it to execs at the BBC. We we didn't, we didn't really
bring it anywhere. No. Well, we showed it like well it was online and then they asked us could we put it in the like like like package it as like a short film type thing. Remember for the. Comedy Festival for. Comedy Festival in Cardiff last
year. You know I. Mean now I went to that and then it was a quite well received but then we asked like did they want it over in London and they were like, well, we're sort of doing sketches with somebody else and we were like right, whatever and then it was kind of sitting there sass and then. I'm sort of seeing someone. Yeah, sure. And I hope he kills you. And so we and we, this is the. Final season. And then we went, we went, I spoke to people about it here.
And then they like, you know, it became like a thing where we got to do a bit of writing on it and do do some like right, right, the sketches we wanted them and then move pretty quickly from that. And they should not like. You know, the plan was for to make the way we would want to make it and then let the broadcaster kind of approach us so that we could continue. The worst thing you don't want,
and I've been victim of this. We all have, we're like, you know, BBC being like the broadcaster here over the years. You go chance to be part of this thing, you're part of it. There's so many people involved and it's not really the way you. Want to? Yes, Well, it's just not a, it's a, it's like a committee. Everything's decided by committee and there's not really a clear you. Don't get it. You don't get a chance to put your creativity into yeah, yeah. And it gets changed.
And that's, that's like the way it is for everybody, like not here, but everywhere. So we, our thought was do this the way we would want to do it, let it sort of speak for itself. And then and then if there is interest, great. But we would want to just keep this formula in this team and and the great thing is from the outside. They just let us. Do they just said like, yeah, we, we don't want to change the way you're doing this? Yeah. So we didn't have to make it
different for them. We should also credit all the locations because people were very scientists. Yeah, because of small budget. So all the locations were pretty sound about letting us use their places and all that like. Who was the location scout between news? Who was the person it? Was well, sorry, I arranged most of those. You arranged some of. Them I would sort of like. We all sort of you both.
Devied it up a little bit. Yeah, it was just a case of having a WhatsApp group, Yeah. Do you know a place that looks like this? Yeah. Now then, now put together like a document that had like our ideas in it for where they could be each sketch and who should be like who, who should be on it, where should it be, all kind of stuff. And now it was just a case of like falling around those places and getting them or like knowing
somebody. Everywhere straight away was like, yeah, we'll help you with it. Yeah, like actually nowhere refused. Nowhere said no. Yeah. And then and we, the coolest thing is like, sometimes you maybe do something like this and a broadcaster or executives will go, we've been working with this talent and then they will not suit what you're doing and they'll go. But we want you to put them in it, you know, because we're working with them. Or we promised them this.
Yeah, but we got the cast this entirely. Yeah. Ourselves. So we got to have our our friends in it. We got to open the whole series of your face on Yeah, I was AI was a daily breaker. I said, I said BBC. I said, I said to BBCI will not do this show and we can't open on our Butler's face the money making. Favourite and we yeah, we had the what the like the only downside of them being totally left their own devices was it had to be a bit stop start with like dates where the move dates.
Oh. Man, I was I was sick, Jarnot, so I. Didn't even mean that, no, but man. I I know that too though, but it was like I was, I was sick German. So like I that sort of slowed down. Like we were right in the middle of writing sketches and then I was off for like 6 weeks or more. And then it was like, right, let's start chipping away at these. And we got like a draught together the script. And that was like, right, we're going to need to start shooting these because we couldn't do it.
Normally you would probably go let's shoot all this across two weeks or something. Yeah, like everyday. Intense. Yeah, maybe two sketches a day. Yeah, a few sketches a day and like, yeah. Whereas this, it just became far more like we've all got Fox schedules. I'm not well, you were away now. I was away. I I was head button walls. And then it became like, let's just like, let's do this.
When even then, send the people who were in it, When are you free, so that we can kind of get this to work. What what I meant was we had the we had the lose William deal know we're going to be in it way more. Yeah, but they. Had the French, They had the French, yeah. So like we got to do a couple and then had to just be they were away. That's when we're like, let's start it with our Butler face, yeah. The Pro is you get more creative control over the product that you're making.
The con is it also then falls on you to schedule. More. We've never made it take more. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Plus like with budget, with the budgetary sort of issues, even though like it was dead on. You know, budget, can you know, say something? Well, normally, well normally you know the route there, there be one or two people like a location scout or like. Will there be like? A Lion producer. And things like a prop master who brings yeah yeah, said every day do.
You know who the prop master was? Amazon. It was you. Yeah. Amazon. I remember. I'll tell this. One day I showed up for a sketch and there was probably involved. The mafia sketch. Yeah. And there was a property involved. And you literally there was a moment of silence and you just went anchors of BNM bargains across the road get something from I was standing there going the fuck are these two glue. Backs I remember. I remember jar not same discussion. We needed a clip, was it?
I was we. Needed as a board of the. Board. For him, no. It's. OK and I remember jar not discussion. I was like and, and, and I just, I remember you then going, are you, are you producing this? And I was like, oh. And then you had to go into the shopkeeper. I need to stop doing that. That's mental. Karen was sitting in the back of his car. Because there's a wee moment to rain. We needed a prop a wee moment. It was so my wee vest and go see through for the sketch.
There was AB and M bargains directly across the road. We identified what we needed and that they would have had it. And Karen was just like, yeah, being M's early. And I said, I said, could I think I might have said, could the producer? Producer. Could the producer produce the tinfoil that we need? Oh. My God the. Producer was away with the 1st. Producer. Producer went down and got that tinfoil, but not out of being AM. Yes, you got him on a paper.
But yeah, the best. I stole tinfoil off. He got it from the shopkeeper. From a local guy and just begged please. Could you cover on Tinfoil place? Yeah, I hear he loved it. The best thing is we needed like a sizeable amount and you brought out like an A4. She did. Yeah. Like that's it guys. We're good. I was like, can you bring out the whole role? What was what was the one that
what was your like? If you're if you were distilling this down in one or two key core memories, what's your what are the moments that you think about like or the shoots? Because the one that I think of probably I had a good time making out the the first one that you're on. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that was. That was a fun, and there's a few different people in that. Yeah, it's a good, good vibe. I had a lot of fun doing that one. Yeah, I had a lot of fun doing
the one out in the woods. In the woods. So we shot. One of my favourite. I think that's my favourite sketch of the show by the. Way my favourite ones are actually the ones who you might be. They're my favourites. In I. Love them and the telly. Oh, I know, Mickey. Actually, Mickey was going to be in it, but Mickey and because you were not, well, Mickey ended up being in a lot more. And he's brilliant. Yeah. Yeah. I think those ones, I see you're particularly good in those ones
as well, like. We'll call, we'll call them the tortures Get people. Well, yeah, yeah. Oh well, they've seen. Some seen some of them middle. The torture sketches are my favourites. But we shot that definitely stands out to me because of what you weren't there, but how much I was thinking of you. Because we filmed those in the Telegraph building and it's 3/4 of it or maybe half of it is like desolate and derelict and abandoned scary tropsmal. But again, we got to use it for
free and it was amazing. So it's a torture scene. And I walked into and Nile and Chucky had already sort of there was like 2 days where Nile had help. Like he literally had like assistance, you know, and like two people like there should have been. 10 people, yeah. Anytime, anytime we've done anything, anytime we've shot, I think I got there's like 15. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, like stand around but. They made this. I walked in and just went, this
will be phenomenal. I was like, yeah, this looks like a feature, like an Eli Roth type feature film. Yeah. And we shot at night, like very late at night in the Telegraph film. But when you walk the boat in between takes and stuff where you had to like walk out of the room or whatever, it was just like pitch black dark. And it's an abandoned old building with a lot of fire damage and stuff like that.
And I just remember thinking, thank God he's not here because he wouldn't have been able to do it. I probably would have sitting Chevron like a wee bitch. We stuff we. Went there during the day. I was like texting Chloe being like, Remember Me as I was like. You know what I mean? We shot there during the day, broad daylight inside and there was like some like creaky doors and stuff, but. About us, there was a lot of
spiders. They left me, to be fair that they they did everything in terms of like they were down humping all the gear upstairs and I was standing their mind and the stuff we'd already lifted. Trying to find tenfold. Yeah, and but I went over to look out the window and then I saw like, you know, like a nest, like I bet you the big white ball of spider eggs and you could see it moving. And I was like, Jesus, you know
what I mean? So but yeah, I think but the the the shoot day in terms of just like laughing my bollocks off all all day was the. Forest, so we went so farther our location that it's part of Finna broke so they gave us like part of the forest, the filament and again all these occasions are just like work away, whatever you need. They're not like supervising they're just like work away. No problem. And that we had to film a sketch. It involves me and Kieran.
I don't know people have seen it by now, but involves me and Kieran and being in togas and it was a. Beautiful day it was. Just shot in the week clearing in the forest and it was brilliant. It's just another one of those ones where you go, this will be like I'm I'm so happy with this because what we're like the takes were going well. Well, it was great for filming just. Everything was. Aligned and there's a better not again on this bullet.
People haven't seen it. There's a better not where I have to Draw Something and I only have one I can only do it once yeah yeah, yeah. So like I'd fuck something up the day like the week before. So there's a sketch where I have to karate chopper brush off Yeah in half. Yeah. And it's like a really important
crux of this important scene. Yes, like the probably the most high production scene in the yeah and them Kieran Niall and Shane, who was there that day helping Niall were were sort of working the sort of have it slightly broken. Yep, but held together because they needed a shot of it together so I could break. Yeah, a fart would have broken it like it was so. And it worked on it and I was like. Hmm. I go, let me just manipulated a wee bit more. Just a wee bit more. Whole thing breaks.
Yeah, of course they're all right pissed off. I was it was one of them ones where we bought that that burner, whatever mop and I didn't think at that time to buy two of them, you know what I mean? So like we only had that. One the producer. Didn't but. No, I fucked it and so then I was so conscious of that. So then the whole build up to this scene is me drawing something with a stone. So far. But I can't see. Yeah, you can't see the line that you're drawing.
You can't see the line that I'm drawing because it's like a big stone and my hand is in a fist over it. So I've just got a hope that this works and it worked perfectly and I got carried away. Do you remember? And did we are. We lying? Did we extra bit on it and it worked? Like that was more funny. Also shout out the Shane Walsh for drawing. The rest of that drawing. I remember, yeah, I remember him being like, Hoss isn't very good. And he turned around. It's like you're all those
people. As a masterpiece. Praise your art homework and it goes, oh, it's not great. Yeah, yeah. Slides over the moment, they say, you know. What if you were doing it again as a like bigger series or more episodes or whatever? What takeaways or learnings from this production would you bring into the next one? Probably. Just sorry, go ahead. You go ahead. Still recovering from the film the like there would there would need to be more production help, Yeah. More. Hands involved, yeah.
A few more, but not but not as. Well, too many we've been on, Yeah. And it needs to be like trusted. People that you yeah, yeah, I'm like and then for me that that is the main thing for me like one or two people just to help out with the organisation of it because it was it was very quickly becomes quite a bit bigger than the amount of messages that have to be dealt with just even just to do. That and inevitably. Locations, props and.
Changes the location. Can we get you in an hour later but they're giving you for free so. No problem, somebody says. Fuck, I've got to go. Emergency or something comes up or someone is late picking someone up or something like that so. It was loads of shit like that, but it was. Would you film it in a big chunk next time or would you do it the way you did this time and just sort of ad hoc, you know, a day
here day. It would be good they organise a couple of things better in terms of like there. Was one thing we really wanted to do. Oh yeah, yeah, that one. There was a sketch we really wanted to have and we ended up turning it into. A brilliant sketch as well. It's so the mafia, the mafia sketch. Yes. Oh, sorry, I thought you were meaning the one that we didn't do at all. The sports related one that is, you know would be definitely. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
That would be. We have an idea for a sketch that we that is like mind blowing, I think. Yeah, not mind blowing. But like, it's a brilliant sketch, but. But we wanted to do a version, so the mafia gets you. That was supposed to be a totally different thing. Yeah. Yeah. But we used the exact same joke. Yeah. And changed it to something else. She's the mafia.
But we want, we had something else we had, we wanted, umm, let's say 2 established actors from here older than us to be in it. But it didn't work. It was such a you're also going to these guys and going, this is a show you've never seen before. Trust us, it's going to be like, we think it's really good. But maybe now that this is easier if we do want an old county or something, we have
this calling card. But I would probably I tried to more help out with like the the the like everyone's lines, like if if we were doing it and something felt not right, I'd want to be like, you know, try it like say this instead or try that. But I think it would be better when the setups happening to take all the actors to one set and we we did long line, but it would be better to meet even earlier probably and or even get all the actors with the scripts
down in one day. Yes, and just do a table read of everything. Yeah, that is what usually sketches. Do a big it's all that sort of yeah, that sort of stuff just costs more, more money because you've got to pay everybody for their time, you know what I mean? And it was we didn't have a
tonne to throw around to people. But like I do one thing that I I like about what we've done is the kind of thing where like what you were saying about like the amount, like things that we've made, things that I've written that I haven't been in maybe that I've seen get made. There's like a a massive production team on some of that stuff that you. Yeah, it's not to like you sort of you sound like a knob soundless, but like you sort of look sometimes and go.
There's a lot of people here, yeah. And with. Different opinions, yeah. And, and it sometimes dilutes, yeah, what the product is at the end when, when there's too many. So it's about finding a sweet spot. We we did it this time. We're yeah, we're, we're literally going fuck, it would have been class to have somebody else just here just to fucking help us out. Like, you know, runners and runner or like like a, what do you call it?
You know, like a, like I was sound like a like a, like a line, a line manager, like somebody to sort of like a line producer. Sorry to sort of go. I'm gonna deal with all all the communication because like, a normal producer doesn't really. Do you know what the Do you know what the job advert would say? Has to has to to know your way around cafe. Has to know how to get the cafe on back to. Or orders.
We're looking for a location scout, but the first, the first question is where are all the cafe current locations? Yeah. Yeah. What is the hope for the future of it? Like, obviously you'll get this episode out of the way. The dust will settle a little bit. What? Where do you take it next? What way do you want to get, like more episodes, more on TV, I think. What do you think? I think we're would definitely want to do more of it. Yeah, people are already asking about that.
Yeah, I think the goal, the goal for it is and something I suppose it did talk about news interviews, but maybe didn't come across massively was. Didn't come across as much as you're. As you're. I want to be. I'm A Celebrity. Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, we want. We made a point when we when me, you and I were meeting. And that is one of the funniest stuff I've ever. Seen. Yeah. Yeah, it looks like I've rang them and went I'm A Celebrity,
tell them I will do the jungle. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sorry, I won't do this series for any less than £400. They do have a list of like the lowest paid people and I'm A Celebrity, which is a sad. Look, get ready for a new entry. Todd flies himself to Australia, said he definitely won't do this show. We business flight. But Willie? I'm like Willie, forget about the bag, coming home, make an advance party over to Australia. We were made a real point. We'll meet.
You and I were meeting in equidistant venues. Coffee shops made a point to saying we don't want anything to be humour wise. We don't want it to be like hyperlocal, you know we don't want. Yeah, yeah. Because we do do that, because a lot of the humour that we do is rooted here because we live here. Yeah, you know, and and you know, it's the same stand up. You'll do stuff that's like local face and you'll do universal face and stuff that's the same with any comedy scene. Any.
But you know, New York comedians will do stuff that's funny in New York they can't do in California. It's the way it is. It's. Still be the thing that not the the trope of like London comedians come in here and do stuff about the tube. Yes, yes, there. Is no tube. Yeah, I'm sure you're true the. Only tube in this place so stage. But but with this, what we went let's let's try and make it as universal as possible.
Yeah. So we we don't have anything in it that we think would only play here. It might be that it that it does only play here. But yeah, I would hope that maybe the likes of BBC Three or the network as they call it, like the main BBC would, would show it at some point. I mean, it's, it's, it's that thing and that we're like our accents located here, but the, the jokes aren't located here. Do you know what I mean? Like there's the the jokes. But maybe we could do some
different accents, yeah. That's good, Jamaica. Yeah, I like that. But yeah, we want it to be. We wanted to to be seen outside of here. Yeah, yeah. I think is the main thing where, you know, they they actually a very cool thing at the end. I didn't notice, like a final, eh, graphic on the show, which is like, made here. They're like made in Northern Ireland, yeah. That's cool, but.
To the idea I would hope that it's very much made here yeah by people from here yeah but is but gets to go outside of here yeah yeah because I don't see why it wouldn't like and and. I think it would fit very well under like a BBC Three and as you say, like I don't see why they. Yeah, I mean here they put out stuff from Scotland and I, I. Look, have you ever watched some of the stuff from BBC Three? There's definite room for it to go on there.
You know. Yeah, the but yeah, what in terms of writing the sketches, do you both get together on like a certain day and just high shut out or do you both do it individually and then send it to each other? What was? The big list of yeah, what you didn't. Do any gas writers either? You didn't get anyone else and it was just literally.
You like like we will show. The three of us chatted about what they were going to be and what the vibe of each one would be like, what the kind of crux of the joke is. And we'd write all that down, like when we meet together. And then it would be like what? I'm just fucking. He is such a weak Dick. Immature. You see his note? No. The entire time I've been doing a bit. I haven't said. Just keep putting a. That's great. That is great.
He's been drawing penises and I don't think that's funny here. Specials. Drawing penises. So, so then we'll. Load to the show. Then we would just like divide it, literally go I'm going to do this one or I really want to do that one. It was more like, who's who's ideable? Yeah, you know. Some of them were, but there's a couple of ones that I ended up writing that were definitely your ideas, but it was like, I don't know, fuck I I really want to do that one, Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
And then, yeah, so we sort of split them pretty. Much and we'll talk them through in the coffee shops and and maybe now we'll go it doesn't make sense yeah yeah have that be like could that be like this you know and then you yeah so like. Inter like it's, you know, that's the actual like the three of us actually create the ideas. We come with our ideas or go fuck yes, but what about this? Yeah, it's an. It's an equal part.
And then the the actual like typing and all of it gotcha was nearly more just like so that they could see something on the page because some of them even after we wrote them, we didn't end up saying the exact things that are on the page. You know, you get there and as there's been improv or you go, I'm going to change the way this sort of will change the order of this or lose those few lines there and just say something funnier, you know, so like, I mean that one we did.
Were you in the and everybody the first sketch? Yeah, Barbershop. Yeah. That felt electric. There was a good bit of improv going on there. Though Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. But and that was the key thing. I think that if we were doing this a few years ago, yeah, that would have ruined it. Yeah. Yeah, you know it. I think you've got to be you've got to know each other. Well, yeah, be just that we we better older to go. Like, yeah, I know we're having
fun. Yeah, but like, let's not get carried away with the improv because then, you know, you're you've sort of fucking Nile over if every T is different, you know? So it was like, I had this idea and you can't say yes, that you've got to be like, I know you're enthusiastic about that. Yeah, let's just have this and then sometimes it does make sense and you go add that in.
And definitely it was like once we all sort of agreed on what we're keeping in this every time, then the margin of improv became really, which was great because then it's like we've improv to get this to be pretty great and we're just going to keep doing takes like that, you know, like like some of the couple of wee bits making out in that one or you like he'd. Been able to do that is such it it, it's brilliant.
And I'm just thinking like I'm talking about us casting like Coco's in it. Yeah, that was I, by the way, when I was watching. Just. See that the the flamethrower, your reaction. One of my favourite moments the whole show you just got. It's yeah. Can I like another? You're like, what are what are our hopes for this? I might get sticks saying this because it's a very like genuine thing. I make no. I always talk about, you know, on the pod. I've told you my history of field auditions.
You know, I make no, I qualms with the fact I want to act and I want to I'd love to do more acting and it's always just talk about like, you know, some of the horrendous auditions I've done, But I I would love through this to like do more acting because it like we do do a lot of different things. And there's a lot of different. You know, so, so that's, that's what you're like to do. Yeah, yeah.
I sort of feel like with it generally that while we all had our kind of input across all the different areas of it, that like in front of the camera is like there's a wee bit more you there and then Niles definitely across the the, the visual side of it. And then I was kind of doing the the sort of business side and then having a wee bit in front and really dead. I'm just meaning like we're all, we're all like we're all in
different. Like I'm trying to say that I think like acting wise your range and it is, is really great. But I I would say you're very like I wouldn't. You know, George Sketch, I think you're best thing and it's a real like you probably wouldn't go if I asked you. What do you think you're best in? Cigarettes in a shop? My thought because I think I I. Think it's just it's just I I love. I love the one in the woods, I think that's my favourite me. Yeah.
Which is a weird thing to say. My favourite me in it is Carlos, my favourite me in it my. Favourite me in it. That is quite good. Actually, our new feature, My favourite Me in it, Me with me. The the What do you think is the best sketch show before like over all the years that you've ever seen like in TV like what one like inspired I. Just have one. Fast show like 2 that I love the most are and one's really old. The Two Ronnies. I love it. And Old School and Mitchell Webb. I love that.
Yeah, yeah, I didn't see loads of that. I love that fast show for me. Yeah, Key and pale. Oh, I haven't watched. I've seen bits I love. I love the bits I've seen but. I would have watched. I've seen more of the Chappelle Show. Yeah. Well, that's great. Too. Yeah, that's great too.
The American stuff though, sometimes it's some of their stuff I feel is super American. So yeah, it doesn't land for me sometimes, you know, like, but the good thing I was thinking about in American stuff like Family Guy and stuff is like, yeah, you know, sometimes when a joke, like a sketchy type joke doesn't land, we're here because maybe you don't know what the point the reference is. You're on the next one straight away. Do you know what I mean?
And there's like a large file. I think sometimes with stuff here, there's loads of talk of like, are people, you know, are people going to get this? And then sometimes something really funny gets taken away from you because you're trying to guess that somebody in England might not understand a word that you've said here. And they usually do because then because I found out whenever we were making the B team, the sitcom I route, like it's so far away from what my sort of vision
for that was. And like, like really far away from it. And a lot of the jokes got changed and they're like, somebody might not get that. And I was like, right. But then when we did the read of that script before I had made some of those changes, the people who were from England in the room did get it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it's all in the tone and then the vibe. Like you. Know all you have to do is look at dairy guards and be exactly
you know there obviously. Is or you go see a start an American stand up. You don't get every reference, but you know what's funny? You're just like, yeah, I get. I'm like. I don't, I don't know what that shop you're talking about is, but I can, yeah.
You connect the dots, yeah. Whereas like I find with that sort of thing, and it was something where it was, it's probably the farthest away from what my script was, if you know what I mean, just in terms of that's not the disparage it it's just that's a fact of how it went. But it was like that, that experience is so different from this, but it's like this is exactly, this is even more than I thought it was going to be. Do you know what I?
Mean, on the other hand, if people don't like this, it's only on us. Because yeah, yeah, yeah. This is every decision basically was ours. Yeah, yeah. And it is. It is our vision for I. Would say like the only stuff that wasn't 100% US 3 just go on this is it is like the order of the sketches. Yeah, yeah, pretty much because there were show hands off, which was actually like. Yeah. It was class for us, Yeah, you
know. Yeah, you you get the the fruits of the rewards if it does well then too on yeah, the the one I forgot to mention that other one Netflix, I think you should leave. Is that the name of the? Sketch Yeah, I oh. Man, it's great. Joe's funny with that I I've seen. It's great. Sketch. I think I'll watch maybe the first load of episodes. Yeah, loved it. I guess it's phenomenal. It's. I never revisited it though. Is that that Tim Robinson? Tim. Robinson. What was that one?
The Australian guy, Chris Lolly. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. There's summer high tie and no. It's definitely a different name guy you you like. Yeah, Chris, He's called Chris Lolly. That's not. He does, Mr G, and he does. No, no, it's definitely somebody else. There's another Australian guy who did sketches that you liked. He did it, he did it. He did a thing at the same time we did like us. He did a a really strange like offbeat short you know him
talking about. Some Campbell. Sam Campbell Man, I never remember names the. Tim Robinson thing I loved that. Never revisited whatever, just forgot to watch it again or something. And when we first started talking about this, me and I were chatting about you know what he what way should a title sequence look and all that kind of thing. And I was like, it should be like, what about like in sort of 70s type font and started describing, describing all these
colours and this scheme and all. And he thought I was joking. And he's like, yeah, very funny as we talk about. He's like, that's exactly what I think you should leave is and then sent it. And it's exactly what I described. So thank God he'd seen it, otherwise we would have put it out and people would have been like, what the hell? Yeah, you're just doing a cheap ripple. You should actually leave, yeah. Yeah, Yeah, you can't. Yeah, the the well guys,
congratulations. Can I say I also like that it's grown out once a week on iPlayer? 10 minute chunks once a week iPlayer and then when not. Necessarily true. Isn't it? Isn't. It though it goes out on the 5th, the 8th and the 13th. So there, there's there's three in a in a space of a well, eight days. All right. So Thursday just gone will be the first one. Friday 2 right Two right now on iPlayer. It's out tonight on BBC One NI. If you're watching this on the day it came.

Plus there's different stuff, there's different closing credits on all those. Closing credits. Talk about. Yeah, a lot of last ones out on the 13th, yeah. Closing credits, a lot of fun a. Lot of stuff to watch out for. Credits were a lot of crack weren't that was actually a fun that was the last thing we shot as well so you. Got clearance on a good few
different music tracks. Was that a ball lick? That's this guy, Yeah. Having his balls ached and Nile to be far as well. Yeah. So not like there's a whole thing with music where like they have a big library and you need to. It's do you know what it mostly is all the paperwork is like setting up accounts on all these different systems they have for different bits and then just emailing people who are like handing you for I need this form.
I need that form. Yep. The amount of I. Don't know, can they? Just throw us out there. They amount the forms that start off with production company name. I'm like, I'll do it again. Why have I? You need to stop. That I know. And then it's like the amount of times you have to put in the same information during that process is fucking. It's not why you get into comedy. It's not you know what? It's not funny or. Yeah, it's not fun, but it has to be done.
Yeah, these are those. Yeah. Because if you don't do it, they won't do it. I mean, it literally is a case where they'll go. There's certain bits of it you need to sort of have done, but there's bits of it where it's like we won't put the show on if this isn't finished. That's business first, comedy second. Amazing. That here, that's that's me now that's business Twank. There's no fun. No, no, I we need fun Twank back I. Know yeah, we need jolly.
I was trying to try me jolly and following by wormer Putin John, by which none of you have commented on by the way. I just want you make a lovely pudding. Thank you.

You like to see new talent getting showcase at the BBC finally. That's what's all about. I do think we're in a transitional moment at the minute with television and BBC and all these players coming in with the comedy and stuff I got.
And I think in the next year or two, the landscape will change and we'll see more faces, hidden television. More faces opening up shows, that is my favourite. I hadn't noticed that until you pointed that out to me like that, that that was something you enjoyed. And I, I. Can't stop.

And he was like wanting to be like here, thanks for everything you know, And he, but he didn't have enough time to properly do it. And he was being called on the stage. So he tried to cram this like beautiful Pagan heartfelt speech into 3 seconds. And he literally just as he was being brought on, he just went thanks for everything you've ever done for me and just ran on the stage. He ran on the stage.
