00:00Nice to see you again. I was going to wear Rivals Red but then I thought they'll think I'm mean.
00:05Lovely. Thank you. If I wore Rivals Red they would know that I was being biased, do you know what I mean?
00:10I've been so excited to see you both today. You know how much I love Rivals.
00:14Thank you. Did you ever expect people to fall in love with Freddie and Lizzie as much as they have?
00:19No, absolutely not. I think they were really sweet, lovely characters. I think Lizzie's the moral compass of the show.
00:27But no, I think there were so many outstanding performances in this.
00:31I think when the reviewers do, they fall in love with the characters really, don't they?
00:35Because we were really quite nice and kind and not fucking people over, they're warm to us.
00:42And I think it's a huge credit to the writing as well because we were very well served, I think,
00:47in terms of it being little bits in every single episode and growing beautifully.
00:52So it meant we could have lots of time off and also do some really charged scenes.
00:57It's hard to do charged scenes if you're in it all the time.
01:00So I think we had the best of both worlds, basically.
01:03But we're really excited to start filming again with everyone.
01:07Yeah, we're on the eve of the second series.
01:10So, do you know what? We start in 2023, so the next one comes out three years later.
01:15Can you believe that? I'm three years older.
01:17We need to speed it up. I'm desperate for it already.
01:20Listen, I can't wait to start saying I'm in the same boat as you. I'm really excited about it.
01:24We know very little about it, so we're going to be trying to find out tonight from the writers.
01:28We need yous to get together, not as actors, as the characters.
01:32We absolutely need it to happen, guys. Come on.
01:35But there's also something keeping us apart.
01:38When we want that.
01:40No, I know, I know. I get it.
01:42Like I said, we haven't read anything yet, so we've got a read-through coming up next month.
01:47I'm going to have a word. I'm going to have a word with you.
01:50Listen, the internet is obsessed with you right now.
01:53We're in like a new Danny Dyer era. Are you aware of this?
01:56Everybody just loves you. I don't know what's going on.
01:58You're all over my TikTok and my Instagram. It's just going from Danny Dyer.
02:03No, I'm having a good one. I've had really shit ones.
02:07So, I understand it's up and down this time.
02:10Danny's worked so hard for so long, and I think people forget, you know,
02:14when somebody succeeds in a soap, it's testament to their acting ability.
02:18There's no actor that can pull off a soap with the hours they do and the material they film
02:23without being the best, so I think it's well-deserved.
02:26I'm absolutely here for it.
02:28And are the glasses a tribute to your Harry Potter scene that you did the other day?
02:32Oh, what, on the last one laughing?
02:34How random was that? They called me and said, do you want to come in?
02:36And I was like, OK.
02:37Can I just say, I'm two weeks younger and I don't need glasses.
02:40I'm two weeks older, and I don't need glasses.
02:42Oh, shit, you are, yeah.
02:44These are my very vocals.
02:46He's degrading physically quicker than I am, but that's cool. That's fine.
02:51Well, I cannot wait. Guys, you know how much I love it. I can't wait for season two.
02:54Lots of love to you all.
02:56Thank you very much.
