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 Brothers and the pain of their teenager love for the same girl the pressures of their family life the horrors of war and they will term a price of courage. And cowardice to find out a bit more about the film I'm going to talk to George McKay and Alexandra Roach who played Tommy Peaceful and Molly in the film George. And Alex thank you for joining me for this interview let's start with you so George tell me about your character Tommy Tommo is is the youngest of the two brothers and he he kind. Of always had this complex of wanting wanted to be a man he's kind of he's got this deep the like you know love for Charley. And that's kind of juxtaposed with this one to be his own person he's always kind of lived in Charlie's light in the sense of how wonderful and kind of how much it looks up to him but also always.

0:46 In his shadow October yeah. Peaceful and I'm I guess I'm the center of the love triangle between the two. Brothers I mean it's not as simple as just loving one and like any other I mean we've grown up together so there's there's definitely a deep. Love there between the three of us.

1:50 One of the things about Thomas is he's so sensitive he's a real. He's quiet he's quite introverted in some ways and he's a very very sensitive soul and I think from what he sees he becomes kind of by the end of it is a jaded. Quality to seeing how wrong things and all the terrible things that he's seen right up to what happens to Charlie. There's not a lot of shapes in the Nile need to end references yes that would fall flat but guys thank you very much for your time thank you noise.
