What's on the tape
A transcript, made by machine from the audio and tidied up. It gets names and the odd word wrong, so treat it as a way to find the bit you want rather than as a quotation. Every timestamp jumps to that moment in the video.
0:01 NASA brings a lot of being lighter but the lady at table channel 4 didn't - that's handed a quote they're working for something for the BBC. At the moment hopefully we get there in the end but it's a long slow process are you now saying yeah just keep get you to tell us what it is well I don't. Know what the tiger will break that's me and my dad in the shop I can open it well as fun of me no it's a pawn. Shop and he wants to put me in charge but I mean comment below say can't retire another and it's a little parade of shops so that's the gist of it have you filmed a pilot is that no schedule. Didn't have two scripts participants reading so say in your position there must be really easy to get stuff Commission must be really because you know obviously.
0:54 With the people at the BBC and you've got a really big profile everyone knows you for a start they all play musical chairs every six months. I think people will read what I've written but then you get into even if they like it there's no gap for two years and can. We just have a meeting about this all that and that then they change around again. Soon as house of limbs died which was three years ago it next January we went into talking about the next one and we're only a tree through 11. Oh really yeah so it's just a smoke process with you putting it together and working with the BBC do you have any say as to who plays your dad cheeky. Chewy chews of the cast thing you've got control I mean we've got control.
1:46 Unfortunately my knowledge of casting is a bit limited to stand up rather than actors there and the danger of casting stand ups as they tend. To play themselves yeah but sometimes stand-ups can make me a great transitions really great yes they come in really surprising which I quite well with Louis. When he when he started manage case she knows like that's gonna bomb but one of my favorite shows right now yeah yeah no it is surprising. But I can suggest them and they were listen but they may have a better idea and see honest they might be you know.
