1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 1: It's just one of those things that I do. I

2
00:00:01,600 --> 00:00:04,639
host seventeen different podcasts, so the question is where are they?

3
00:00:04,679 --> 00:00:07,360
How can I find them on these digital platforms. Well

4
00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,960
it's very easy now ero dot net a r roe

5
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:14,400
dot net. Thank you so much for all your support. Hi,

6
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,399
hello and good morning. How are you guys doing today.

7
00:00:18,359 --> 00:00:22,399
We're good, good ground. Are you doing? Absolutely fantastic, Very

8
00:00:22,399 --> 00:00:24,600
excited to share a conversation with you guys, because the

9
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,320
thing is is that in season number three, you guys

10
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,280
are doing something that totally comes from out of left field,

11
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,759
but yet everybody can relate with it. You're going into

12
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:37,159
middle class and you know what, I've always believed that

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,479
there's some junk going down in these neighborhoods, and you

14
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,200
get to step in there and say, yeah, he's right,

15
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:46,759
there's some stuff going down. Yeah, you know that is.

16
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 2: Really true, isn't it. And I think these characters, I

17
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,079
think the police officers, you know, they sort of are

18
00:00:53,759 --> 00:00:57,600
at the end of the chain, dealing with the consequences

19
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,560
of the sort of operations and the actions that happen,

20
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,920
you know, high up in these ivory towers where the

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,239
real criminals are. And yeah, it's you know, it's really

22
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,640
great that the writers have taken it there and it

23
00:01:12,719 --> 00:01:15,719
makes this very interesting and dramatic sequences.

24
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: Well, I just love the way that Bridbox gives you

25
00:01:18,239 --> 00:01:21,040
guys that opportunity to have that platform with Blue Lights

26
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,599
season number three, because you are taking us into a

27
00:01:23,719 --> 00:01:27,280
level that it's so unique that you call it your own.

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,480
And that's what I love about this show that you

29
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,280
cannot compare it to anything else.

30
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I think because Belfast is at the

31
00:01:37,159 --> 00:01:40,200
crux of it, really and Belfast is the heart beat

32
00:01:40,239 --> 00:01:45,840
off Blue Lights, and it shows Belfast in many different ways,

33
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,480
and with Decan and Adam being investigative journalists for seventeen years,

34
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,480
you can really feel that from the script and I

35
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,719
think that's what makes great TV. It's authentic and it's

36
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,359
real and it has a grit to it.

37
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: That's so interesting that you bring that up, because in

38
00:02:02,519 --> 00:02:05,519
my notes it says that they have captured the personalities

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680
and the multiple personalities of Belfast, and that is one

40
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,280
of the to me one of the actors on this

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,439
show is that Bellfast has to show up too. It's

42
00:02:12,479 --> 00:02:14,520
got to wake up early every every day as well,

43
00:02:14,599 --> 00:02:15,919
and it's got to stay on the set as long

44
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,080
as you guys do as well. Belfast is a legend.

45
00:02:20,599 --> 00:02:22,120
I mean, I mean for it to be in that

46
00:02:22,199 --> 00:02:25,080
background you because you you've got to become a part

47
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,120
of that atmosphere as an actor.

48
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 2: Yeah you have. But you know you're so true about

49
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:37,120
Belfast being you know, so key and sort of I

50
00:02:37,159 --> 00:02:40,159
think in the show it really sings as a character.

51
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:44,719
It's it's the main character. And then in a way

52
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,080
you're right, like I feel that all of us that

53
00:02:47,159 --> 00:02:50,919
dance around it are influenced and sort of I don't know,

54
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,280
it's like osmosis. You sort of take it into your

55
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,639
bones because you know, as somebody who I didn't grow

56
00:02:56,719 --> 00:02:59,479
up in Belfast, you know, I've been there with work

57
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,639
go the last for the years. You really appreciate the

58
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:06,400
sort of many facets, sort of the grit and the

59
00:03:06,439 --> 00:03:10,560
warmth and the humor and the resilience, and it's all there, bubbling,

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,319
and I think each character sort of has that, I

61
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,199
don't know in some form.

62
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: One of the things that Blue Lights does. And I'm

63
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,840
so guilty of this, and I feel sorry for anybody

64
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,800
that watches the TV with me, because when when I

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560
see a moment on Blue Lights where I need time

66
00:03:26,599 --> 00:03:28,120
to think. I will sit there and say stop stopps,

67
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,439
put it on hold for a second. We need to

68
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,360
talk about Grace, Grace and Annie and Tommy, and we

69
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,360
need to put ourselves okay for us to relate with

70
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,599
this character, what would you do if you were these people?

71
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,400
And the fact is is that do you go through

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,000
the same thing where it's like something happens to your character?

73
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:47,360
Do you go WHOA hold on? All right, I breathed,

74
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,000
Now we can move forward.

75
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's there's so many twists and twists and

76
00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:00,439
turns where you know, for me, I would read this script.

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,599
But then also at the same time, like when we're

78
00:04:03,639 --> 00:04:07,680
on set and we're dealing with our incredible directors Jack

79
00:04:07,759 --> 00:04:12,039
and Angela, it's constantly evolved and it's constantly changine and

80
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:16,439
there might be a different outcome or even something as

81
00:04:16,439 --> 00:04:20,160
subtle as an actor saying align a different way can

82
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:23,399
completely turn it on and turn it on, turn it

83
00:04:23,439 --> 00:04:28,120
on its head. So yeah, it's it's ever changine, which

84
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,040
is really lovely.

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: Well, the entire team that's involved in this, it's it's

86
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,720
more than just the actors and the directors and the

87
00:04:34,759 --> 00:04:37,279
executive producers. I mean, the writers play such a major

88
00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:39,360
part of this and then here comes the actors, the

89
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:43,000
brilliant people that you are. To take their words now

90
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,759
bring it to life, let them see pictures.

91
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 2: Gosh, that's so lovely, it's really wonderful. But it is,

92
00:04:49,879 --> 00:04:52,399
it is. We've been working together for three years now,

93
00:04:52,439 --> 00:04:54,600
and it is you know, when you're talking about the

94
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,879
various departments and people that work on the show, we

95
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,240
have to pay homage to the crew as well. We

96
00:05:00,319 --> 00:05:04,360
have the most incredible crew in Belfast and a lot

97
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,360
of them have been with it since day one, and

98
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,879
even that, I think, you know, it gives a sort

99
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,079
of platform where everybody knows each other, everybody trusts each other,

100
00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:19,040
there's an understanding and everybody therefore can just sort of

101
00:05:19,079 --> 00:05:22,240
bring out their best, you know, and give it to

102
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:22,639
the show.

103
00:05:23,319 --> 00:05:25,639
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Sean Brook and

104
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:29,759
Catherine Devlin coming up next. Can you believe it's already

105
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,839
season three of Blue Lights on Breadbox? We are back

106
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000
with Sean Brook and Catherine Devlin. So when the episodes

107
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,959
in the new season invite new people to the set, okay,

108
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,240
we as viewers have got to get used to them

109
00:05:42,399 --> 00:05:45,399
being in our storyline because in reality, we've been there

110
00:05:45,439 --> 00:05:47,879
since one two. Now here comes number three. It's part

111
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,079
of our story as well. That's how much we are

112
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,879
so close to this being on BritBox.

113
00:05:54,319 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is. It's wonderful in that people really

114
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:01,360
and I wonder whether I've often been asked and you know,

115
00:06:01,399 --> 00:06:04,639
what's the secret? And I think there's a part of

116
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,680
the show I think is also that it was about

117
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,560
rookie cops in the beginning. Yes, and these characters that

118
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,519
I think as an audience member, you feel you're part

119
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:17,480
of it because you started the journey with them and

120
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,680
you can feel, you know how they've sort of gained

121
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,600
confidence and you've sort of they've you were able to

122
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,759
see behind the curtain right from the get go, and

123
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:31,680
now you can see them evolve.

124
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's interesting that you bring that up about basically

125
00:06:35,079 --> 00:06:37,319
we've grown up with the characters. And there are many

126
00:06:37,319 --> 00:06:40,199
times that I will experience something on Blue Lights and

127
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:42,360
then we'll have a police officer that I'll see somewhere

128
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:44,240
on the streets and I'll ask him, I said, did

129
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,120
you see that episode? Tell me what you would have

130
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,319
go through and see that's the kind of conversation that

131
00:06:48,399 --> 00:06:50,839
you guys are generating that it's like for me to

132
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,439
go up and just talk to a police officer. It

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,680
started because of Blue Lights, because it's like, hey, you

134
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,920
guys are one of us. What can I do to

135
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:00,000
help you?

136
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:00,959
Speaker 3: You know?

137
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 2: That's so lovely to hear, and I do think there

138
00:07:03,439 --> 00:07:06,319
is you know, it's been a wonderful byproduct of the

139
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:12,240
show is that people are seeing, you know, beyond a

140
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:17,040
uniform and seeing the real, you know, person beneath it.

141
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,519
That these people deal with such extraordinary things in day

142
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:25,399
to day life that you or I will never experience

143
00:07:25,439 --> 00:07:29,959
in the whole lifetime, and they're only trying to do

144
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:34,680
their best. Yeah. And that's also something that's been very

145
00:07:34,759 --> 00:07:38,079
key with the writer is that the show remains hopeful.

146
00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:41,319
You know that there is hope and there is a

147
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,000
possibility of change. And I think that's a glorious thing

148
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,000
to put out there and in the way that the

149
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:46,879
world is at the moment.

150
00:07:47,439 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: So what is it like for you though, when you

151
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,720
put on the badge, the uniform, Because even though you

152
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,160
know that you're the actresses on on on Blue Lights,

153
00:07:56,399 --> 00:07:58,399
you still have got to go through an evolutional change

154
00:07:58,399 --> 00:08:01,279
when it comes to the mentality of that badge being

155
00:08:01,279 --> 00:08:02,319
connected to your heart.

156
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think as well it's important to note

157
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:10,759
too that what Blue Lights does so well is it

158
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:15,319
doesn't glamorize it either. You know you're dealing with police

159
00:08:15,319 --> 00:08:18,079
officers that you see the messy side to them. You

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:24,959
say that on sex a version that it's important to

161
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,199
show that and and for it not to become a

162
00:08:27,199 --> 00:08:31,360
form of coppaganda as well. But it very much lives

163
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:35,399
within the gray area and it doesn't categorize people as

164
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,039
good and bad. Just you see many, many different sides

165
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,120
to these characters.

166
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:42,799
Speaker 1: Wow, where can people go to find out more about

167
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:44,840
everything that you're doing? And listeners need to know? Brid
