Hello, Hello, Hello, welcome back. 10 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:35.280 How are you doing okay? 11 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:36.719 How are you doing good? 12 00:00:36.719 --> 00:00:37.119 Thank you? 13 00:00:37.960 --> 00:00:40.119 Shall we reveal our hair from last week? 14 00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:45.119 Our hairs? Oh? Yes, So for anyone that wasn't aware, 15 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:47.119 oh did we say? Actually no, we did say in 16 00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.520 the episode, din't we there were three hairs last week, yes, 17 00:00:49.679 --> 00:00:53.359 spread across the different scenes. So we included our hair 18 00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:55.000 three times throughout the episode. 19 00:00:55.280 --> 00:00:58.119 We did? That was your idea? Very clever? 20 00:00:58.479 --> 00:01:00.880 I hopefull it wasn't too blindingly obviously. 21 00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:02.679 Should we have a listen to all three of them? 22 00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:07.760 Go for it? Where do we start? I guess with 23 00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:08.439 the bill video? 24 00:01:09.560 --> 00:01:11.079 So do we need to send any more about the 25 00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:12.560 bill section at this point. 26 00:01:13.239 --> 00:01:14.959 I guess the bill video at the start could have 27 00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:16.560 been something she was watching. 28 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:22.599 There we go the bill in case you didn't notice. 29 00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:26.120 Yeah, well then if you spotted that, Yeah, all them 30 00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:29.439 and we will try and smuggle another one in this week. 31 00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:32.079 Yes, So what are we discussing this week? 32 00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.760 Episode six of series five, The Stakeout. The summary from 33 00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.040 the inside of a nine Wiki is two police officers 34 00:01:40.040 --> 00:01:41.359 have time to get to know each other on the 35 00:01:41.439 --> 00:01:44.359 night shift, but PC Thompson's previous partner died in a 36 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:47.040 brutal attack less than a month ago, the forensics have 37 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.159 gone missing, and PC Varney is beginning to ask a 38 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.599 lot of awkward questions. I love this episode. 39 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:54.359 Yeah it is. It is a great one, isn't it. 40 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:56.840 Is it possibly one of my favorites? Yeah, which I 41 00:01:56.840 --> 00:01:58.760 didn't think it probably would be on the face of it, 42 00:01:58.799 --> 00:02:01.040 in that it's quite a character drive one, like it's 43 00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:02.000 most of them just chatting. 44 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:03.480 Yeah, that's not really you. 45 00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.760 No, it's not normally me. But then the end makes 46 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.479 up for it. So maybe maybe if it hadn't got 47 00:02:08.520 --> 00:02:09.360 the end, it wouldn't trick. 48 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.000 But before we get into it, I just want to 49 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.120 point out that, as I mentioned, or we did our 50 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.000 stage right episode. This was written as a replacement for 51 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:19.639 a House Divided, Yes, the one which is going to 52 00:02:19.639 --> 00:02:21.319 be set in the theater, which was they were told 53 00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:24.080 was too expensive, so they were told they had to 54 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:26.479 write a really cheap one, so they just wrote, yeah, 55 00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:27.520 two people in a car. 56 00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.879 Well, I don't know whether they've muddeled stories together, but 57 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:33.319 I was reading about this and they came up with 58 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:37.199 an entirely different reason. So apparently this episode originally was 59 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:40.879 a musical, not this episode, but the episode. 60 00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:42.520 That would have been interesting. 61 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:46.080 Yeah, that works, But the episode that would have been 62 00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:49.319 in this slot was originally a musical, and they were told, like, 63 00:02:49.759 --> 00:02:53.319 you have no money for that, come up with something else, 64 00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:54.960 and they came up with this, So I don't know 65 00:02:55.000 --> 00:02:58.240 whether they're okay, yeah, mixing two different stop. Maybe maybe 66 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.719 the House Divided was this one of the musical was 67 00:02:59.759 --> 00:03:01.240 a difer one, not vice versa. 68 00:03:01.319 --> 00:03:04.280 Yeah, maybe they've just forgotten themselves now. 69 00:03:04.039 --> 00:03:07.039 Yeah, I mean they've written that little little booklety type 70 00:03:07.039 --> 00:03:09.719 thing of the script like what five years later, so 71 00:03:09.800 --> 00:03:14.360 maybe they've mis misattributed it. Yeah, but either way, apparently 72 00:03:14.360 --> 00:03:16.199 it was one of two different episodes at least. 73 00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:19.240 Yes, yeah, deliberately written as something cheap. 74 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.879 Yeah, although they say it was cheap, apparently ended up 75 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:25.120 being quite expensive because of all the lighting that they needed. 76 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:27.919 The intention was cheap, but I was listening to the 77 00:03:27.919 --> 00:03:30.439 official podcast and they had their producer on as a guest, 78 00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:33.599 and right, I feel you could just tell, like whether 79 00:03:33.639 --> 00:03:35.560 Reese was playing up to it for the podcast or 80 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:37.599 if he was really like there was tension between them. 81 00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:41.080 It was just quite amusing. He was just like, well, 82 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.639 you said you wanted something cheap, and then you just 83 00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:44.520 threw loads of money at it and made it so expensive. 84 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:48.919 We just gave you two guys in a car, like, yeah, 85 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.479 but they needed several cars, and they needed lighting, and 86 00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:52.599 they needed all sorts of stuff. 87 00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:53.000 Yeah. 88 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:56.319 Yeah, it spiraled apparently. This is yet another one that 89 00:03:56.319 --> 00:03:58.159 I don't quite know how we discussed without. 90 00:03:58.199 --> 00:03:59.560 Well, I was going to say, I don't think we 91 00:03:59.599 --> 00:04:00.400 can think. 92 00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:01.199 Oh, I don't think we can. 93 00:04:01.479 --> 00:04:03.360 Obviously, if you're listening to this, you know, but. 94 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:07.800 Please stop if you haven't, because because it's such a 95 00:04:07.800 --> 00:04:08.680 good one, please go. 96 00:04:09.039 --> 00:04:13.000 It's a really good twist. Okay, we're giving you time 97 00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:18.560 to stop playing it and go. Okay, now, those weird 98 00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:23.680 people have gone. We can say what we all know, but. 99 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:26.199 They were on mars. 100 00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:30.399 Reese's character is a vampire. 101 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:35.120 Secret vampire story. Yeah, it's so good and it's so 102 00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:35.759 left field. 103 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:38.319 Yeah, did you first time you watched it? Did you 104 00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:38.959 guess at all? 105 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:41.800 I don't think so. No, I don't think I guess 106 00:04:41.879 --> 00:04:44.600 until right up, like as he's on the back seat 107 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:47.800 saying is yeah five tropes thing like I got it immediately. 108 00:04:47.839 --> 00:04:51.240 Then oh, yeah, this is another one. I've not said 109 00:04:51.240 --> 00:04:52.319 this for a while, but this is another one that 110 00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:54.360 I showed to people a lot as an episode to 111 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.079 get them into it. 112 00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:56.480 Yeah, I can imagine that, and. 113 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:58.519 Yeah, I don't think people tend to spot it. 114 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:02.000 Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it, because obviously watching it when 115 00:05:02.040 --> 00:05:05.079 you know it seems so obvious. 116 00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:08.079 So obvious, even the episode title, like everything about it 117 00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:10.680 is screaming it, but you think you're watching an entirely 118 00:05:10.720 --> 00:05:11.920 different story exactly. 119 00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:13.959 I was going to say as well, I wanted to 120 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.000 compare this episode to probably an episode you didn't expect 121 00:05:17.000 --> 00:05:20.800 me to compare it to, which is Nana's Party, Okay, 122 00:05:20.920 --> 00:05:23.360 because of the way that they show you the end 123 00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.319 at the beginning. Yeah, and then you draw your own 124 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:29.959 conclusions erroneously, and then you spend the whole thing thinking 125 00:05:29.959 --> 00:05:31.879 it's going to build up to how they got to 126 00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:34.680 that point, and then actually it's completely different to what 127 00:05:34.720 --> 00:05:37.160 you expect. And I quite like that as a device. 128 00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:39.600 Yeah, No, I think about it. They do quite a 129 00:05:39.639 --> 00:05:41.079 lot of do it quite a lot of times where 130 00:05:41.079 --> 00:05:44.560 they let effectively have an entirely different story that isn't 131 00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.800 really the story, like deadline, like stage fight in a way, 132 00:05:48.879 --> 00:05:50.240 Like there's a lot that they do it quite a 133 00:05:50.279 --> 00:05:53.360 few different times where they'll have a fake story that 134 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:54.920 then just sort of crumbles at the end and is 135 00:05:54.920 --> 00:05:58.000 actually to mask the real story. Yeah, but I think 136 00:05:58.000 --> 00:05:59.839 this is probably the one that sticks to it the longest. 137 00:06:00.360 --> 00:06:02.879 M Like, you don't know until about the last three 138 00:06:02.920 --> 00:06:06.120 minutes that this isn't the story you've been watching. Did 139 00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:06.720 you figure it out? 140 00:06:07.399 --> 00:06:09.959 Uh? No, I don't think so. But it's such a 141 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:12.040 great moment when it Flandy clicks. 142 00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:13.800 So masterfully crafted. 143 00:06:14.279 --> 00:06:15.079 Yeah. 144 00:06:15.240 --> 00:06:18.560 But like we say so ballsy to how how many 145 00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:21.319 like little things there are? Like I know a lot 146 00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:23.680 of people myself included, won't know, but that Varney was 147 00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:24.560 the first vampire. 148 00:06:24.839 --> 00:06:25.680 Varney the vampire. 149 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:28.120 Yeah, Yeah, he was one of, if not the first, 150 00:06:28.160 --> 00:06:30.800 like publicly known ones like in literature. 151 00:06:30.959 --> 00:06:32.000 Yeah, I'm glad you had. 152 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.360 Pre dating Dracula, and also. 153 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:38.000 Oh yeah by decades and decades. Yeah, yeah, and I 154 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.319 think the first one to popularize the idea of having 155 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:42.720 fangs like long teeth. 156 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.120 Okay, I don't know that's much of other things. 157 00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:47.519 Like hypnotic powers and coming in through a window to 158 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.839 attack someone, they all came from Varney the Vampire, not Dracula. 159 00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:53.560 No, and even the fact that he calls him at 160 00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:55.319 one point Varney the Vegan. Yeah. 161 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:59.120 See, I found that interesting because that's such a niche 162 00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.360 reference that it's surprising that the character would know that 163 00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:06.079 to make that reference, Like, I'm assuming he is alluding 164 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:09.160 to Varney the Vampire. Otherwise why would he, I guess 165 00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:11.160 unless he's just because it's a literative he's just saying 166 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:14.399 the vegan. But yeah, I felt like, you know, if 167 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:17.360 anyone did know Varney the Vampire, then making that joke 168 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.639 sort of throws you off the scent because it's like 169 00:07:19.720 --> 00:07:23.120 he's he's alluded to it, He's made a joke, and. 170 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:26.040 There's nothing at that point really that screams no, this 171 00:07:26.079 --> 00:07:28.519 is something you should be watching out for. You've already 172 00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.279 sort of closed that option in your head before you've 173 00:07:31.319 --> 00:07:34.759 even considered it. I am intrigued to what. I guess 174 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:38.439 it's probably boredom. Like, So, say, Valley's been around for 175 00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:43.879 presumably centuries, why's he decided to become a special police constable. Yeah, 176 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:44.639 just for the fun. 177 00:07:44.519 --> 00:07:47.639 Of it, because I was googling this and it said 178 00:07:47.639 --> 00:07:51.600 that special police constables are volunteer policeman. Is that right? Yeah, 179 00:07:51.639 --> 00:07:53.800 so it's yeah. I mean he's not even getting paid 180 00:07:53.800 --> 00:07:54.000 for it. 181 00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.519 No, you have all the same powers pretty much as 182 00:07:57.519 --> 00:08:00.199 a regular police officer, you just don't get paid. It's 183 00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.000 pretty much exactly the same job, you just don't get 184 00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:04.000 paid for it. But I guess it's just a way 185 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.079 into the police as well. Yeah, for people that want 186 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.959 to do it. You show that you're good, yeah, true, 187 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:09.680 on your spare time, and then they offer you a 188 00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:13.600 job eventually, yeah hopefully. But yeah, how how he's managed 189 00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.759 to get through all of the training and stuff? Did 190 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.680 you start to go for training? Like presumably had to 191 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:20.079 have his photo taken and stuff, Yeah, which I imagine 192 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:20.800 didn't show. 193 00:08:20.680 --> 00:08:23.720 Up or there may be from his vampire stuff. He 194 00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.160 has the hypnotic powers and he's able to wheel his 195 00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:26.720 way in. 196 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:29.800 Yeah, or that the entire police service is run by vampires. 197 00:08:30.040 --> 00:08:32.919 Well yeah, see being human for that. 198 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:36.080 I did. I think I've seen the first series for 199 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:36.919 a very long time ago. 200 00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.360 Yeah, I recommend it. But that's the other thing about 201 00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:46.080 vampire mythology is because there's so many different influences and 202 00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:48.840 there's so many different bits of law, you can choose 203 00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:51.200 your own bits and pieces and decide, oh, we'll do 204 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:52.480 this one, but we won't do that one. 205 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:55.320 Yeah. They did seem to go with all the main 206 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:57.639 ones though, Yeah, I can't think of any that they 207 00:08:57.679 --> 00:09:00.279 specifically have left out. There could be ones would just 208 00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:01.399 never have come up in conversations. 209 00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:02.240 They wouldn't have come up. 210 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:04.279 Yeah, like he might not be able to turn into 211 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:06.679 a dog or whatever to missed or something, but it 212 00:09:06.720 --> 00:09:08.919 just was never relevant. So no, no, you don't know. 213 00:09:09.080 --> 00:09:11.120 But yeah, but yeah, I like the fact that he 214 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:14.039 doesn't reflect, like because I always think, you know, if 215 00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.960 you're doing a modern vampire story, technically that shouldn't be 216 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.159 a thing because it used to be with mirrors backed 217 00:09:19.159 --> 00:09:23.039 with silver, which is why they don't reflect, And the 218 00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:24.399 same with cameras. 219 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.320 Is it that they don't show in cameras for the 220 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:28.360 same linked thing or is that an entirely different thing. 221 00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:30.799 I believe it's the same thing because they used to 222 00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:33.639 use silver in developing film or something, I think, right, 223 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:36.200 But yeah, so modern vampires, I think this should be 224 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.240 showing up. Yeah, but then it's you know, it's just 225 00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:42.600 all let old silliness, isn't it. The other thing is, 226 00:09:42.639 --> 00:09:44.519 obviously they're in a graveyard for this whole thing, and 227 00:09:44.519 --> 00:09:47.519 there's so many crosses about, and they're not supposed to 228 00:09:47.639 --> 00:09:49.759 like crosses. But then I think again, in this day 229 00:09:49.759 --> 00:09:52.559 and age, you don't have to necessarily go along with that. 230 00:09:53.000 --> 00:09:55.399 No, whichever ones he wants to stick to you in 231 00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:58.240 this situation, yeah, they don't. Also, they also don't sparkle 232 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.039 like the weird Twilight ones too. Well yeah, so who knows. 233 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.320 I love vampire stuff, m me too. 234 00:10:06.480 --> 00:10:08.000 That's one of the great things as well about this 235 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.080 series in that it's a different story in a different 236 00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.000 world every episode. You can do a surprise thing like 237 00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:15.799 this exactly like so many times you know going in 238 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.639 that it's going to be a vampire story or whatever. 239 00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:20.360 Mm hmm was he You can so easily no idea 240 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:21.919 hide it. Yeah. 241 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:24.279 What I find interesting about this is that it once 242 00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:27.200 again fits into their thing of doing something supernatural in 243 00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:28.080 the last episode. 244 00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:30.879 Yeah, and I don't believe any of them were planned. 245 00:10:30.879 --> 00:10:33.519 They said, yeah, but that's when they would fall, but 246 00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:36.480 that they just did. I think it's is it every 247 00:10:36.519 --> 00:10:37.279 series so far. 248 00:10:37.799 --> 00:10:40.279 Not private view? You don't think that was supernatural? Oh? 249 00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:40.919 No, true. 250 00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:42.879 Other than that, I think they all have been. Really. 251 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:46.559 I also like the really clever thing of using the 252 00:10:46.600 --> 00:10:49.039 speech at the beginning and the end and it taking 253 00:10:49.080 --> 00:10:50.080 on a completely different meaning. 254 00:10:50.120 --> 00:10:52.519 Yeah, at the end, it's so easily sets up for 255 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:55.039 you that that's what's going to happen, Like, you don't 256 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.200 even question it. It's like, well, he's going to die 257 00:10:57.200 --> 00:10:59.679 at some point, and how we get there? Yeah, and 258 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:01.360 you're not left on that scene long enough for you 259 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:02.279 to even question it. 260 00:11:02.840 --> 00:11:06.159 No, No, I wonder what I was thinking the first time, thinking, 261 00:11:06.159 --> 00:11:09.799 you know, what on earth happens to him? Yeah, it's 262 00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:11.519 quite a horrific shot. 263 00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.440 Yeah, let me jump back to Night one. I like 264 00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:18.720 that it's even specifically Night one. You'd probably still have 265 00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.960 written Day one on anything else, like specifying that it's 266 00:11:22.080 --> 00:11:24.559 night that it's creatures of the night. Yeah, even though 267 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:26.320 it's set at night, you probably would have still written 268 00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:27.879 day one, I imagine probably. 269 00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.600 I'm assuming this is just night one of what we're watching, 270 00:11:31.720 --> 00:11:34.360 because he mentions you did that last night. So this 271 00:11:34.480 --> 00:11:37.240 isn't night one for them, true, but it's not one 272 00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.200 for us. It's like act one of a three act structure, 273 00:11:40.240 --> 00:11:40.600 isn't it. 274 00:11:40.720 --> 00:11:44.639 Yeah, this one, the having to ask to come in, 275 00:11:44.759 --> 00:11:47.559 is probably the one that I think is the most ballsy. 276 00:11:47.960 --> 00:11:49.679 Yeah, it does seem the most of it, especially when 277 00:11:49.679 --> 00:11:52.080 they repeat it three times. Yeah, in the whole episode. 278 00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:54.240 Yeah, he does it quite a lot, Like you get 279 00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:56.480 away with it, combining the permission he's got to have 280 00:11:56.679 --> 00:11:58.720 and to hold the coffees at the same time. You know, 281 00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:00.440 he's got this coffee, he's got no free it sort 282 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:01.440 of makes sense absolutely. 283 00:12:01.519 --> 00:12:03.399 Yeah. That really kind of distracts you from it because 284 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:05.159 it gives you an excuse. It gives him an excuse 285 00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:08.399 to be to be asking, because there's no reason otherwise 286 00:12:08.399 --> 00:12:10.919 why he would be asking to come in. No, and 287 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:12.759 he doesn't actually mean can I come in? He just 288 00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.480 means can you open the door? Yeah, but it's it's 289 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:16.320 a bit of a fudge. 290 00:12:16.399 --> 00:12:18.519 Yeah, And it just sounds like a weird choice of phrase, 291 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:20.960 but yeah, hey, how you can't. He hasn't got any hands. 292 00:12:21.080 --> 00:12:22.919 He just he does sound so pathetic when he's like, 293 00:12:23.279 --> 00:12:28.600 can I come in? I did also want to mention 294 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:29.919 the music and this. 295 00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:31.840 Is so good. Yes, the music is fantastic. 296 00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:35.879 And again they splashed out on real players. Okay, and 297 00:12:35.919 --> 00:12:38.200 it's again it's another aspect that makes you think it's 298 00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:41.200 so obvious because it sounds so gothic. 299 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:43.039 And creepy and yeah. 300 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:46.360 Almost Eastern European as well. Like yes, I mean it's 301 00:12:46.440 --> 00:12:49.960 just like some violin scales with like a massive delay 302 00:12:49.960 --> 00:12:50.320 on them. 303 00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:52.360 But it works so well. 304 00:12:52.440 --> 00:12:53.840 Yeah, very unsettling. 305 00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.799 Yeah, I genuinely can't remember what I thought was going 306 00:12:56.840 --> 00:12:59.159 on in the first watch. I haven't been quite creeped 307 00:12:59.200 --> 00:12:59.720 out by it. 308 00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:02.600 Yeah, toward the end, you can sense something bad is 309 00:13:02.600 --> 00:13:06.799 going to happen. Obviously I've been Shane Reese. Yeah. So anyway, 310 00:13:06.879 --> 00:13:10.600 so Tomo PC Thompson and Steve's character, he's obviously he's 311 00:13:10.600 --> 00:13:13.279 the superior, he is the proper police officer. 312 00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.840 Yeah, the Specials take issue with that, but yeah, okay. 313 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:22.679 Well anyone listening then sorry, And his previous partner died 314 00:13:22.960 --> 00:13:23.679 on the job. 315 00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:25.320 M about a month ago. 316 00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:30.159 So this is a classic like double act like two hander, 317 00:13:30.399 --> 00:13:32.679 the dynamic where you've got Thompson is this sort of 318 00:13:32.720 --> 00:13:36.200 seasoned Jade did one, and Varney's quite a contrast, like 319 00:13:36.240 --> 00:13:38.480 he's he's very sort of fussy and clean and you know, 320 00:13:38.639 --> 00:13:41.279 takes issue with some of the sort of disgusting things 321 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:45.240 that Tomo likes to do. Yeah, like Peana Pringle's tube and. 322 00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.080 Stuff, the five tropes of comedic double acts or whatever. 323 00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:54.000 Oh yeah, yeah, it was kind of Waiting for god 324 00:13:54.039 --> 00:13:55.960 O esque. I mean, I'm not that familiar with Waiting 325 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:58.159 for Godo. But there's another one, which was actually the 326 00:13:58.159 --> 00:14:01.960 first play I directed, which was everyone always goes what 327 00:14:02.000 --> 00:14:04.639 when I say this title. It's called Rosencrants and Gildenstern 328 00:14:04.679 --> 00:14:07.720 are Dead, Okay by Tom stop Hard And if you 329 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:09.679 know it, you know how good it is. It's set 330 00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.279 in the wings of Hamlet. 331 00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:13.679 I think you might have mentioned it, and it's like two. 332 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:16.000 Side characters in Hamlet and they're just like when the 333 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:18.720 characters from Hamlet are off stage, they're just left on 334 00:14:18.799 --> 00:14:20.879 stage and they just like have nothing to do and 335 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:23.279 they just talk to each other. Yeah, then it's Yeah, 336 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:24.600 it's this sort of thing. It's like when you've got 337 00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:27.519 nothing to do except past the time, like the banality 338 00:14:27.559 --> 00:14:31.200 that comes up. Yeah, it's quite fun because. 339 00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:32.799 You can fill five minutes of conversation. What do you 340 00:14:32.840 --> 00:14:33.879 do with the other four hours? 341 00:14:34.200 --> 00:14:37.440 Yeah, hence why Tomo loves his riddles. 342 00:14:37.639 --> 00:14:40.720 Hmm. Obviously the coffin being the answer to the second one. 343 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.080 Yet another vampire thing that hadn't clicked. Every time I 344 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.360 watch it, I think I spot another one. Yeah, but 345 00:14:48.559 --> 00:14:50.799 somehow slip by the fact that he sees bats when 346 00:14:50.840 --> 00:14:54.919 he goes on his wonder Oh yes, yeah another one. 347 00:14:55.200 --> 00:14:57.519 The last one I noticed only last minute was when 348 00:14:57.519 --> 00:14:59.440 he says Reese says about oh I'm a bit long 349 00:14:59.480 --> 00:14:59.960 in the tooth. 350 00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:05.440 Yeah, every time there's a new one. Yeah. 351 00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:08.840 But yeah, it's a bit annoying with his riddles, isn't it. Yeah, 352 00:15:09.679 --> 00:15:11.080 the way he recites. 353 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:14.399 Them like you said them a thousand times as well. Yeah, 354 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.440 I mean, Vanney's only been paired with him for at 355 00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:19.519 most a month, and he's already fed up a bit, Like, 356 00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:21.679 what's it going to be like if they were working together, 357 00:15:21.919 --> 00:15:25.399 like four or five years, I'd find quite fun for 358 00:15:25.440 --> 00:15:27.679 the first night of two though, I like a good riddle. 359 00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:31.840 Oh yeah, yeah, and you know, word games and things fun. 360 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:34.399 When I was on the cruise, they had a pub 361 00:15:34.519 --> 00:15:37.720 quiz where one of the rounds was riddles, and it 362 00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.000 was the most stupid idea because then everyone complains and 363 00:15:41.519 --> 00:15:44.559 argues that their answer is better. Yeah, and they had 364 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.440 one that was the more you care for me, the 365 00:15:46.519 --> 00:15:51.559 less of me you have. Pause the audience suggestions. 366 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.639 For Stephen to think about it. The more you care 367 00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:58.639 for me, the less of me you have. 368 00:15:59.159 --> 00:16:02.320 Yeah. I mean I'd also interrupt all this and say 369 00:16:02.360 --> 00:16:05.039 the answer is stupid. And we argued about it. 370 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.960 Oh okay, I mean the first thing that popped into 371 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.639 my mind was something like happiness or I don't know what. 372 00:16:12.639 --> 00:16:13.519 What was their answer? 373 00:16:14.039 --> 00:16:17.080 Well, our answer, which I thought was better, was the lawn. 374 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:18.879 But the more you care for a lawn, the less 375 00:16:18.879 --> 00:16:21.480 of it you have. Because right away, yes, and I 376 00:16:21.559 --> 00:16:23.919 don't really like it, but it's okay. Their answer is 377 00:16:23.919 --> 00:16:27.960 a candle. I mean, I get there's less of it, 378 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:30.000 but no one cares for a candle. 379 00:16:30.399 --> 00:16:32.919 That supposed to mean exactly is it just? Is it 380 00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:34.639 just because you trim it, don't you? When the wax 381 00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:38.679 is melted. Maybe that's what they mean, but that's yeah, 382 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.320 lawn is better than candle. 383 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:41.679 We didn't like it at all. 384 00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:44.840 No, No, I mean how long did they give you to 385 00:16:44.879 --> 00:16:45.480 think about these? 386 00:16:46.039 --> 00:16:49.120 Not that long. I mean most of them are ones 387 00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:50.879 that had just come around. You'd heard them dozens of times. 388 00:16:50.879 --> 00:16:53.639 So I walks on four legs in the morning, Yeah, 389 00:16:53.679 --> 00:16:55.120 that kind of thing legs in the afternoon. 390 00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:56.720 Yeah, the river bed one. 391 00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.480 Yeah. The one who makes it, sells it, who buys 392 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.240 it never uses it, and the one who was it, 393 00:17:03.279 --> 00:17:05.319 the one who uses it, never knows that he's using it. 394 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.200 What is it? 395 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:10.519 Is it a towel? It's always a towel. 396 00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.960 Yeah, I don't know what he was thinking there. How 397 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:16.599 can you never know you're using a top? 398 00:17:19.279 --> 00:17:25.440 I'm just dry? How did it happen? I'm never going 399 00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:31.119 to question it. No one that buys towels ever uses 400 00:17:31.160 --> 00:17:35.519 them for themselves, and the people that make towels are 401 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:36.319
