00:00Good to see you.
00:01You too, man.
00:02First and foremost, you must be good for your brother that Chaos got canned off
00:06because that show was brilliant.
00:07Dude, it's heartbreaking, isn't it?
00:08I think it's like a really frustrating, when something that's got that much quality
00:11and such an amazing cast in it.
00:13And everyone I know who watched it loved it.
00:15Yeah, yeah.
00:16But you know, man, it's a dark heart, isn't it?
00:18TV commissioning or whatever, isn't it?
00:20It is.
00:21It's something that you and your brother both kind of dived into fairly recently
00:24over the last few years, working your way through the TV world.
00:29And it's been doing all right.
00:30I see you at these awards ceremonies.
00:32This must just be like a normal Sunday for you by now, surely?
00:37Yeah, do you know what?
00:38It's funny with the awards because obviously you just do it for the work, isn't it?
00:41And the art.
00:42Yeah.
00:43But I'm not complaining when you get free food and a free hotel room.
00:45Do you know what I mean?
00:46It's a lovely little perk.
00:47You get to see your mates, all the people you've worked with that you love,
00:52some of the ones you hate.
00:54And which of those ones that you hate, if you just want to share?
00:57So do you want full names or just first names?
00:59Full names, addresses.
01:00Have you got producer?
01:01No, imagine.
01:02Imagine.
01:03The first is my third BAFTA.
01:04Yeah.
01:05The first year I found it really overwhelming, man.
01:07But now I'm like, I can just sit back and enjoy and taking all the silliness and also the specialness.
01:14Do you feel a little bit of pressure?
01:15Well, obviously you're going to feel pressure, but being here last year with all the love that
01:19Juice was getting, you've got your business head on.
01:21You've got your like, right, I've got to kind of milk this.
01:23I've got to talk to the right people.
01:25What if I win something?
01:26Does it feel kind of different when you come and you can kind of just like chill out and
01:29have a good time?
01:30Yeah.
01:31I love it.
01:32The pressure's off me.
01:33The pressure's all on my brother.
01:34I'd much rather it be that way.
01:35Do you know what I mean?
01:36Yeah.
01:37Do you know what I mean?
01:38Because it is when you go, when you're nominated, it's a whole thing to go through, man.
01:41You don't want to care.
01:42You're like, I'm doing it for the awards.
01:44I'm just here to join.
01:45But you're sat there in your nice clothes.
01:47You haven't eaten for five hours.
01:48Yeah.
01:49And you start caring.
01:50And you're like, do you know what?
01:51Actually, I'm really dehydrated.
01:53And what would help is if I won.
01:55Have you seen the studio yet on Apple TV?
01:58Yeah, I love the studio.
01:59Did you see the one when they're at the Golden Globes?
02:01Yeah.
02:02Oh, I don't care.
02:03But I do care.
02:04I'm going to win this.
02:05I'm not going to win this.
02:06We're all actors, right?
02:07Yeah.
02:08We're all about, oh, I don't really care.
02:09I don't really care.
02:10Producers are like, I care.
02:11Like, this is more important than my firstborn.
02:13Yeah.
02:14And that is the dynamic.
02:15And it's funny because I think that on some level, everyone cares because as much as people
02:19will say they don't, we love a clap.
02:22We're performers.
02:23We love to be clapped.
02:24How's your brother coping?
02:25But it isn't the main focus.
02:26Do you know what I mean?
02:27Yeah, of course.
02:28How's your brother coping with it at the moment with the love?
02:29He looks like he's having a good time.
02:30Yeah.
02:31He's brought a cane with him.
02:32So he's walking around like Willy Wonka and I'm like, bro, lean in, man.
02:35Yeah.
02:36So he looks like he's having a good time.
02:38I think he's like steady Eddie, you know?
02:41He doesn't get too wrapped up in this stuff.
02:43I think we just try and find the enjoyment in it and don't overthink it really.
02:47And finally, we're getting more juice or what?
02:49Yeah, man.
02:50Juice Series 2.
02:51Coming this year.
02:52It's coming.
02:53Hopefully autumn, winter.
02:54We just finished filming it.
02:55It's so magical.
02:56We've got a special guest role by Kevin Eldon.
03:00Nice.
03:01Mark Gatiss comes and does a camera.
03:02I love those guys.
03:03Some of the heroes are in it.
03:04That's the brilliant thing.
03:05You do Series 1 and the people you've watched growing up that you love now know it and the
03:10ones who are a fan of it do this intergenerational sort of giving you their blessing.
03:15Yeah.
03:16It's just more magical and more bigger and better than ever.
03:18Mate, Kevin Eldon had such an underrated show of his own that came out.
03:21After Big Train and all that kind of stuff, he had his own like the Kevin Eldon show.
03:24Kevin, yeah.
03:25He was really, really good.
03:26Yeah.
03:27Anyway, man.
03:28Looking forward to the series.
03:29He's one of my ultimate.
03:30And, well, I'm sure we might be seeing you this time next year.
03:32Who knows, man.
03:33You'll be back in the driving seat.
03:34You'll be on with a cane.
03:35I managed your expectations though, but sure, maybe.
03:36Good to speak to you, man.
03:37All right, man.
03:38Good luck.
03:39See you later.
03:40Have a good day.
03:41Take care.
