00:00First and foremost, I've got to say, what a crime shame it is for audiences out there
00:03that you spend all your time on slow horses, like behind a desk, eating crisps, being a bit of a layabout,
00:08when underneath that suit, you are absolutely ripped to pieces.
00:13You've been stalking my Instagram.
00:14I've seen that Instagram, mate.
00:15What are you talking about?
00:16It's hard to avoid. I've seen pictures.
00:18I'm trying not to play into stereotypes with Roddy, so I'm glad that that's coming through.
00:21I think just give audiences something to hunger for.
00:24That's exactly right. And as the seasons go on progressively, I'm taking off a little bit of my clothing.
00:29It's going to be a gratuitous show list.
00:31Who knows what's happening in season five?
00:32Who knows?
00:33Mate, talk me through the journey you guys have been on over the last few years.
00:38All the kind of best shows seem to be those that come out almost like sleeper hits,
00:41that suddenly series two or three suddenly global.
00:45But what's that been like to experience as a cast member?
00:48I mean, it's really nice to have this organic growth to the show.
00:51We're kind of collecting viewers along the way, and the show continues to exceed expectations.
00:57So it's, you know, two or three years ago we were here, you know, Gary and Jack were nominated.
01:02Last year we were nominated as a series, and now myself.
01:05It's really, it's a lovely progression to watch and to have on hold.
01:10What's also good to see in these kind of shows is when these characters develop and flesh out more and more over time,
01:16you were kind of a sarcastic, the guy you love to hate, sort of character for a season or two.
01:23But then over the last series, they really give you some kind of, some stuff to get your teeth stuck into.
01:28How enjoyable has that been?
01:29Oh, I mean, Will Smith, our writer and showrunner, manages to give me new things every season that continually challenge me.
01:36So season five is no different to that, so you have a lot to look forward to with Roddy.
01:40And how long have we got to wait until the next one?
01:41I can't tell you that.
01:42Well, thanks for nothing.
01:44Mate, good luck tonight.
01:45Thank you very much.
01:45We'll look forward to seeing you down the road.
01:47Appreciate it.
01:48Cheers, bud.
