Well they won't go over and they won't stay on. Try I don't know. No I'm just going to have to hold it. You look like a DJ from a school disco.

Craig David. What? Can I get a rewind? like a DJ for a school disco. Craig David. What? Can I get a rewind? You can't do that though, because the sound will spit out of them and go through the feedback. You've got to sit like that all night.

I've got to sit like that? Yeah. Take a photo. Take a photo? Yep. You can't- Just so everybody knows how I've sat for the pod. It's very odd, look.

All the lights are off in here. Have you got a flash? Pardon? I don't think that's appropriate. I suppose it is a podcast. That's a nice picture actually. Thank you. Yeah.

So why are you having to hold your headphones like that? Because I've got rollers in. Right. Because I'm doing loose women tomorrow and I wanted my hair to look half decent. Right, okay. The extensions aren't easy to dry and style myself. No.

So Sophie came over. Okay. How was your day? Yeah, it was good thank you. I had a nice day. Really fun day at work. Good. Doing one of my favourites.

Not going out. Doing a sitcom. Lovely. Really nice. Nice crew. Guest artists as well this week. Which is nice. I'd quite like to do that. Don't Giuseppe his wife listens to this. Oh.

He said he gets in the car in the morning and put Spotify on for the kids. And usually your podcast is on. Oh, I bet he turns it off sharpish. He does, yeah. He's, but you know, he didn't pretend. No, fair enough. But yeah, Lisa listens to it, I believe.

Oh, thank you, Lisa. So how, I believe. Aw, thank you Lisa. So how's your holiday packing going? Not brilliantly. Why is that? I think I've overpacked. I'm a little bit worried about the weather. Right. Because it's been really warm.

And it looks as if it's going to take a turn for the worst. A listener actually sent me a picture today, which I sent on to you, I don't know if you saw it, saying that there is a snow bomb to hit the UK and it's going to be minus something. And she was very worried about our seedlings. Yes. To which I replied, I'm with you, we've got to get them all indoors. Yeah, give them a little bit of heating. Do we think that is possible whilst we're away? I think it would be okay if they're zipped

up in the little tent thing. Okay. I think it'd be alright. Do we need to cover them in cling film? How does that work? I think you just sort of roughly cover them, it's sort of a double layer. I think we've learned from the double layers in the little tent thing. layer. I think we've learned from the double layers in the little tent thing. Moment of sunshine. It's like they're fried, aren't they? Okay. Hopefully the snow bomb thing is just awful news. You know, like weather news that you get up on your phone. Yeah, maybe. I mean, anything can happen. So anyway, going back to the packing, I thought I was doing well on the packing

and then I've had a look and the case that I've packed is the same as if we were going to Greece or somewhere for 10 days. I've packed two pairs of jeans, two pairs of trousers, two dresses, a skirt, a skirt, probably about seven shirts, two cardigans, a couple of jumpers, lots of tops. I mean, it's ridiculous, but I feel worried about the choices when I'm there because of the temperature. It's tricky, isn't it? Because you don't really know what you're going into. It's not like you know you're going away and it's going to be 30 degrees.

No, I know. This is what I mean. We sort of know it's going to be pouring rain, but still it's tricky. But then it's irrelevant what you're wearing because you're going to be living in a dry robe. Absolutely. So I could wear the same thing every day and no one knows. And more to the point, Craig, you can legitimately... Craig? Craig.

Who's Craig? More to the point, Craig, you can legitimately wear a dry robe in Cornwall. So there'd be none of us taking photos of me wearing my dry robe at work doing an outside broadcast, putting it on that naughty Facebook page. Dry robe wankers? I've been on there. Someone took a selfie of me outside M&S at Brookfield and posted me up. How can someone take a selfie of you? Not sorry, a shot of me. I'm really tired. We might call that a photograph.

Yeah, that's what I mean. That is what I meant, sorry I'm tired. Very good. Can we just say it's 5 to 11? It's 5 to 11. No, it's 4 minutes to 11. Okay. I've got to get up. I've got to leave the house at 10 past 6.

Wow. That wasn't me, Vicky. That was not me. It's not Vicky, is it? Was it Vicky with the slurping? I always get it wrong. I've got a cup of tea, guys. I'm sorry.

The listeners mean everything to Natalie. Do you know how many people message, Darlene? How many? A lot. Did you see the picture here from Angie in Northampton? Yes. What do you think of them? Hey, Angie from Northampton here.

Are these anyway close to Mark's Maxi Bonds? They're from Iceland apparently. They're called Majestics. They looked right up my street. Bourbon sandwiches. What do you think? Yeah, really good. Good find that.

I reckon you'd like those. Absolutely. Right up my street. Did you steal one of Joni's chocolate butter and ice creams this evening? No. Good for you. Tell you what I found in the back of the cupboard and you know that I'm not a chocolate person. Hopefully not an ice cream.

No, but do you know you bought me some Turkish delights? Yes. Which really, my mum used to love those. So it's the only thing that I really like chocolate wise, really. Right. Apart from the cherry liqueurs at Christmas. And I had one of those today because I found the tin in the cupboard. I was having a little sort out.

You know, I spotted those the other day and I very nearly had one and then thought, no I shouldn't really because they're yours and you eat them. I've had those for probably about 18 months. There's still quite a lot left. So that shows you how many chocolates I eat. It isn't many. Although the dark chocolate covered cherries from Marx's are unbelievable. They're quite breathtaking. They have a new range. They are expensive. Right.

Dark chocolate covered cherries. And they do dark chocolate covered pistachio nuts. They're really good. I'm worried now about the whole Vicky and slurping. I'm really annoyed. I've got like a mental blank. Don't worry about it. No, I feel bad.

We haven't had a Vianetta post for a long time. So we have a couple here. Couldn't help thinking about you. Well, mostly Mark, story of my life, while shopping at Lidl. It's been mostly Mark's story of my life. What does that mean? This is Lidl in It's been mostly Mark's story of my life. What does that mean?

This is Lidl in the Netherlands. Absolutely useless information, but I still wanted to share that I love listening to your pod, so here we are. This is from Lois in the Netherlands. Lois, isn't it? I don't know. How's it spelled?

I'm not sure. L-O-E-S. Lois? Oh, I don't know. Lois? I don't know. Well, okay. That could be a text in. 99 euros, 99p.

How do you say P in euros? Cent? Cent, yeah. Is it? I think so. Anyway, less than one euro in the Netherlands. Good, eh? We sound so uneducated. I know what I know and I'm very happy with it.

I'm not uneducated. No, you're not. You think I am, don't you? No, never said that. What are you doing? Just finding out that's right. Hold on a minute. It's got like 12 seconds.

Hi Nat, dedicated listener. Never said that. What are you doing? Just finding out that's right. It's got like 12 seconds. Hi Nat, dedicated listener here but too shy to voice note. Oh come on Mel. Just listening to your 100th ep, congratulations. I am one of those people who really does feel comforted by your pod. Mondays and Thursdays are my favourite days because I have it to listen to on my commute, but it also feels like an escape from the stresses of work and everyday life. It makes me laugh,

smile and just makes me forget about my worries. You're all so down to earth and I just can't thank you enough. Keep it up Nat. P.S. I don't really like Mark. like Mark. Did you listen to any of that message? No I was too busy tearing that up. Okay so it's Lo S. Lo S. I made a joke saying she didn't like you but you missed it. Shocking. You know we had a little geographical argument on the last part. Yes. Regarding South End and Leon's. We went to Leon's and you said we're at South End. I had 400 messages saying it's down the road you can spit at it.

Yes, but we were at Leon's. No, that was not. We were in Leon's. That is not the case. Have you listened to the episode again? No. We were definitely on Leon's. I mean, if we were at South End.

No, but what I'm saying is it was very close. Yes, it is close. Have you listened to the episode again? Yeah, no. We were definitely on Leon C. I mean, if we were at Southend. No, but what I'm saying is it was very close. Yes, it is close. No, no, no. But you were saying we were in Southend. Don't go back. You then disagreed with me and everybody agreed with me. Now I'm listening to you and Mark at 100.

Leon C is walking distance to Southend. Laughing face. Yeah, but we weren't in Southend. Listen to the pod again. Leon C is walking distance the South End laughing face. Yeah, but we weren't in South End. Listen to the pod again. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. Next time you ring me and you go, all right, where are you?

What are you gonna say? I'm gonna go, I'm in Hartford. That isn't what I'm saying. No, you're not in Hartford. You're in Hartford. Yeah, yeah, what are you doing in Hartford? I'm gonna say our local pub. Our local pub's not in Hartford, Mark.

Oh yeah, Natalie, but Hartford's walking distance. And then I would say, no, no, no, no, no. That's not true. It's not walking distance. It is. It's not close and- Could you walk to Hartford? In about an hour. Easily.

On the route that I go on the bike, straight into Hartford. It's not an hour actually. Yes it is. Probably two hours walking. You'll speed it with me. Anyway, I'm not going to let that go. It's not about where I said, you said the distance between the two places were a long way and you were wrong go. Likewise, wrong go. It's not 10 minutes away because we walked for about an hour down the seafront and barely got through Leoncy.

Minutes. No we didn't. A stone's throw, some might say. I'd like to see you throw a stone that far. I used to be really good at skimming stones. What are you doing? Just knowing that the microphone sort of pointing over your shoulder. Hang on a moment.

I mean, you've got your headphones. I've got my Bluetooth on. You've got your hair in rollers. I'm all discombobulated. You've got to hold, you still have got your hand on your cans. I beg your pardon? You've got your hand on your cans. That used to be slang for something else where I'm from.

What were cans? Boobs. Cans. Cans. What were cans? Boobs. Cans. Cans. Boobs, cans, never heard it. Very strange. Right. Slurping again. Apologies, right.

Laura, it might be. Could be. Have a listen to this. Also, for fuck's sake, now I'm home alone. I haven't actually got any wine or Vianetta again. But there's no one here to tell. I'm so excited. I don't know what.

I think she's in, like, she's in the control room of the Starship Enterprise. No, I don't. I thought that was Lucy about the bamboozle. And it isn't. But that is the lovely lady who was so excited because we said she was in bed. Oh yes. And she was in bed with a wine. There you go. You were right.

Thank you. I'm pleased for once. You were right darling. Amazing. Good evening. It'm pleased for once. You were right, darling. Amazing. Good evening. It's Sue from North Devon. Just wanted to say congratulations on your hundredth episode and what a perfect episode to have scraping the bottom of the barrel. Uh, my question to you and Mark is, please, can you do videos together on Instagram or maybe even set up a YouTube channel? I'm sure people would love to see it.

Anyway, looking forward to hearing the next episode. Bye. Fancy a bit of YouTube, babe? Being videoed? I don't think it's necessary. A few videos? I don't... what video? What? He doesn't even want to be recorded for this. I've got little cameras and he doesn't like it. I'm on the wrong side of it. No darling, it's absolutely fine. I am. But what would we...what would the video add?

People like to see people. I see. Just have a little think about it. Okay. Good. Cross that one off the list. No, no, I didn't say yes to it. Still thinking about my holiday packing. I did a good list today. You said you're bringing two pairs of jeans and a couple of zip-ups. Wow, yeah, man, there's a bit more on the list than that. I've already seen three different pairs of shoes downstairs.

Yes. I've got some boots. Trainers. Some trainers and monochrocs. All bases covered. I've got trainers. Yeah. A pair of sandals.

Nice. Like little jelly ones. No. What we colored? Glitter in them? No. What we coloured? Glitter in them? No. No? I used to love a jelly shoe.

I know you had a good those. My sister used to love those. I thought you were going to say you had some. No, I didn't have any, no. Won't surprise me. It's very stressful going on holiday as well with the whole water in the garden. I feel really, really stressed about leaving my babies. Water, I was I gonna say? To the point where I know it's gonna rain,

I could actually stay at home. Is that really bad? No, they're in a hutch and the food. I'm not talking about them, talking about my seeds. Brilliant. So you're more worried about your seedlings than your two... Lily and Lala.

Yeah. They'll be fine. Okay, yeah. Because they can... They'll just pop out for a minute. No, Brian's coming round, he opens the hut, she feeds them water. Well, Lorraine's probably going to do that. They're as good as gold.

Brian will be... he'll have a can of fosters. Yeah. If it's not raining, he'll be sat out in the garden while Lorraine's doing the rabbits. I would imagine. Possibly. And good luck to him. But then we need him to really gently sprinkle the flowers, the seeds. Hopefully with the hose. Fingers crossed. It's not funny, is it? He'd enjoy that.

He would like that. Yeah. We'll have to send it to him. We had a funny old message here from Lord Neil. Right. So I'm just gonna pick that apart for a moment. Okay. How do you know it's Lord Neil?

Because that's what his name is on WhatsApp. Yes, but is that his name or is that his little nickname on WhatsApp? I would imagine his nickname. Is Lord Neil. You imagine his name might be Neil, possibly. Yeah. Lord Neil. But I don't know why you'd call yourself a Lord. Well, maybe he is. Let's have a listen to him.

Hey, Nat, just listen to the episode about the EastEnders 40th watching in Canada. I'm a little bit behind on your part episodes, but slowly catch up. Question for you. If you had said or decided to make your own name up, which would be quite funny. Would you have got in trouble for that? Yes, Lord knew I would. Do you think he goes to the House of Lords? Is in Canada, right? I think he just loads the House of Lords? He's in Canada, though. I think he just lords it up.

Possibly. Love him. So yeah, what would have, that's a good question. What if I would have looked down at the baby and gone, oh. Tarquin. Oh. Janet. Brian.

Yeah, I mean. Would have been good though, Could have been funny, wouldn't it? Yeah. Would have been good. I think you might have confused the viewer because obviously it wasn't on their voting. I had tea and a very long chat and breakfast with lovely Julia, my friend. Right. The other morning we were there for three hours at Pierce's farm. Lovely sunny morning. Coffee is breakfast.

Oh, yeah. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning.

I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. I mean, it's a lovely morning. lovely Julia, my friend. The other morning we were there for three hours at Pierce's farm. Lovely sunny morning. Coffee's breakfast, other coffees, soft drinks and we didn't want to go home but we really caught up well. I just didn't even think this went, I had all these messages saying ah the baby's after you

and I thought oh yeah. So I only had a a baby called Julia I never put the two together no because Julia doesn't watch EastEnders either she just got all these messages I see you see what I mean my last week I think this week on the telly. Is it? I think so. I'd have to watch that. Yeah, I've got quite a bit to do. Do you do your last scene, recording your last scene? I do. Well, not your last scene on television. No.

Your last scene recorded on your last day working there, which of course wasn't the last scene that we see on the telly. Yes, I do, yeah. Oh, it's nice, isn't it? Little event. Really nice. I had a lovely message from one of my favorite listeners,

Georgina, who I call the fact lady. Fact, okay, yeah. I missed a few messages from her on Friday. Right. And I only found them this evening. And she said, the phone keeps cutting me off. Have you got a restraining order against me? Hope all is good in your hood.

Just a quick origin of a saying, mind your P's and Q's. Alcohol used to be sold in pints and quarts. And when customers used to get unruly, the innkeeper used to yell, mind your pints and quarts to get them to settle down. And this was shortened. Have a great weekend. I like that. Isn't that brilliant? That's a good one. So then I messaged her to say, I'm so sorry I missed these.

About to do a pod with Mark in 15 minutes. Do you have an Easter fact? And she sent me this, she never fails me. Hi Natalie. Yes, I do have a little fact about Easter. One of the likely origins of the word Easter is from the Anglo-Saxon goddess Estra, which is spelled E-O-S-T-R-E. Basically, it's a figure that's associated with spring and fertility. And that's sometimes why people say we give eggs at Easter because of that origin of that word. So, yeah, so there's a little bit more to chat about, but

I'm just about to go to bed. So have a good pod and I'll catch up with you soon. Thank you, Georgina. What a fantastic fact. I never, ever thought about the egg thing and it makes perfect sense, doesn't it? It does. So now when you put in your Easter eggs

underneath your Easter tree, Yep. You sort of know the meaning of it all. We all know why we've got Easter trees, obviously. Did you like Roro? She posted a video for you. Very upset. You know what was funny? She texted me and said, Oh, I've got this video for you to look at. She sent it to me. I thought, do you know what? The offensive thing about it is the

tree is white. What's wrong with that? I said to her, it's not even green. It doesn't even look like a tree. I mean, what was funny is that it's not even green. It doesn't even look like a tree. I mean, what was funny is it's not even green. She said, what do you mean green? So that trees traditionally are green. Unless it's snowed. At Easter.

Or unless it's wintery. Now that would have been a good link into the, I've had a message about the snow bomb. Oh yeah, that would have been good. Never mind. What a shame. If only some pre-production had gone into this. Hi now, hope you're well.

I did laugh the other day. I was listening to your caller and she was saying that she had you on 1.25 speed or something and she had to turn you off because you were all talking too quickly for her. And then she came back on and realized her mistake. Well, I meant to write into or let you know that before Christmas, you and Mark, you did that pod from the pub. And I couldn't understand why is no one phoning in

or making a comment about how pissed you both sounded. So it was when you first started and you were at the bar, and then I think you took a little break and you had something to eat. When you both came back on, you're really slurring your It works anyway. I thought, what a great pod. You know, you're at the pub, you've had a few drinks. Of course, you're going to be a bit pissed. Walking home, I think you forgot to pay and then you had to

come back. It was hilarious. Anyway, a few more pods later and I'm thinking, wow, Nat's really tired. I think she needs a break over Christmas because she was sounding so fed up and talking really slowly and I was like bloody hell what's wrong with her? That's pretty standard. Anyway, I only went and bloody realised, had your 0.75 speed so I'd been playing you slow so you probably weren't pissed at all and you weren't tired and you weren't fed up, it was just me. Anyway, I've got you back on normal speed now and you all sound fabulous so keep up the good work. Thanks. Bye.

Oh, that is brilliant. I love that. The thing is Emma, I think actually truth be told we were a little bit drunk. Possibly. Useful excuse though. Gonna remember. Easy for you to say. I'm gonna use it now. I'm tired. It's been a long day. Joe from Balam said, thank you for remembering me on the 100th episode. I sometimes go to message you and then delete thinking you'll get frustrated. Thank you.

Was bamboozle page 392? Joe from Balam. Joe, I'll never get frustrated if you message me. Mawn the Mary are here. We're a family. We had a message from Lucy on Bamboozle. We did. And she asked whether it was page 650.

Yep. I've done a bit of Googling tonight. Yep. Now I think the actual answer is it changed over a period of time. And I think in fact, that right up to the last days of teletext, I believe it still existed.

And I think it was then available on the internet. Right. But the general consensus is it's page 458. But when I was looking into that- Doesn't sound right to me. Well, all the screen grabs that I found had 458 on. Oh really? But I do remember that of course you go to your main page and then once you're into the questions they'd

all have their own numbers. That's correct. And I read on a forum and it reminded me of me doing this. I hate to say that I did cheat at Bamboozle and I remember doing it. You put in your question answer. Telling. Right, press the button and then you go, oh no, no, I've got the answer wrong. And before the you've got it wrong page came up, you could second guess the number for the next question and cheat the system.

And someone on this forum where I found the number for Bamboozle was saying, do you remember when you used to like guess and like put a new number in for the page and a new question would come up and you'd miss? When the hell have you had time to do that? Go on a forum for it. When I was sat with you downstairs before we did this. On the subject of favourite pages on either C-Fax or teletext. Have you, do you remember any particular ones that were good? Any other things?

Scott Mills was talking about this on the radio the other morning. Was he? Yeah. He was talking about the holidays. And how you just book a holiday for like 429 to Crete and you never knew where you were going. Yeah.

Yeah. It was quite fun. A lot of people used to do holidays on the text. It always. A lot. And the teletext holidays, it was like, oh, no was quite fun. A lot of people used to do holidays on the text. It always. A lot. The teletext holidays, it was like, oh, no worries about it and just do it on the teletext. But then you'd have to ring someone up,

talk to a travel agent for three hours. Do you remember doing 888 for subtitles? Yes, I do. That was a good one. But why did I do that? Because I didn't really need the subtitles. I don't know. Maybe you're just intrigued.

Yeah, I do remember that. And do you also remember that at Christmas time, if you went on Bamboozle, he had a hat on. I do remember that very well. And do you remember also that there was a special page at Christmas where you could do an advent calendar every day on Italian text. Don't remember that.

You could do an advent calendar, you press the thing, press the reveal button and it revealed a little drawing. I would have loved that. Not as nice as my advent calendars. No. Where you open the little door and get a picture behind it. Well, you can't drink them, can you? On teletext.

I'm talking about the simple ones. Okay. Thank you. Anyway, we won't go into that now. What, Christmas? Yeah. Yeah, you hate it, you don't like don't talk about it.

But it is another very Christian time of year. So happy Easter to everybody. I hope you've had a lovely Easter Sunday. Today is Easter Monday. I hope you're poodling around. I hope you've stuffed yourself with chocolate. I hope the Easter bunny has been for the children. And I hope you can have a really chilled day of watching sort of old films, relaxing. I won't be, can't tell you why, but you'll hear me soon. Little clue for you. Hear you soon.

Is that on the podcast? Nope. Doing a voiceover or something, being cute? I wish, I wish. Okay. I mean Donna will be pleased because if she liked the... Just reading that message from Donna regarding the pub episode. Can you do another pub episode on the text? You got that there to read? Oh yeah, Donna from Norwich. Hi Nat, Mark.

Please, because you both do another pod in the pub? Love all your podcasts, especially with Mark and when you are with Tony. She likes the male touch, obviously, does Donna. Fair enough. Well, while we're away on holiday, I've just remembered to put microphones on our holiday list. No, no, I know. Don't worry.

But we should take them. We could do maybe an episode while we're away. Absolutely. That'd be good. I think we should do one for Thursday. OK, well, we'll see. We don't want to promise things, do we? No, no, that's true.

You never know. But we're endeavouring. Basically, if we remember, you know, first thing on Saturday morning, we've got to pack everything into the car, pack the kids into the car, casually cruise down to Cornwall over five or six hours. If we remember the microphones, while we're away, we'll do an episode. That'll be like the pub episode Donna. We could do a little on the beach couldn't we wandering along.

It'll just be That'll basically be the whole episode. Maybe we don't do one on the beach. We'll see. It'll be atmospheric, won't it? Yeah. Will you have your hair in the rollers like it is now? No. On holiday? On holiday.

No darling, no. So you could have your hands on. I could have my hands on. Yeah. But not both hands on top of them. No. It's done, no. Feels like a workout this.

Look like a little bit like a... What's that dance? We do that. There's a dance isn't there? Chicken dance. It's not a chicken dance is it? Yeah. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that and shake your bum. It's that one isn't it?

Yes it is that one but it's not... Na na na na na na na na na na Keep going, we'll remember the... Na na na na na na na na na na With a little bit of this. And a little bit of that. That's not the chicken song. It is.

People are screaming at what this is called now. It's called something like the chicken song. No, it's not. It is. And I can't believe we don't know what it's called. 07788201919. That's, it's not. It is. And I can't believe we don't know what it's called. 077882019. That's a million messages there. Oh well.

What is it? Get them through. I might... Can I Shazam you singing it? No. Right. We're both just sitting there staring at each other, singing the song in our heads now,

trying to think what it's called. It's bad. Well hopefully the episode we do when we're away is nice. If we do one. If we do one. If we remember the microphones. Just got to remember the microphones. Simple.

No I'll sort it tomorrow don't worry. I'll sort it tomorrow night. Are we just going to wander around Cornwall with them? Just going to casually... We'll see. Or if. Are we just gonna wander around Cornwall with them? Just gonna casually? We'll see, or if not, we can just do one in the house. Yeah. We could just do one in the house. Let's just not give ourselves a task

and see what happens. Because we could actually do 10 minutes somewhere, 10 minutes on the beach, 10 minutes somewhere else. Do you know what I mean? What are you doing? Why is that funny? I just made myself laugh. It's not a nice thing to do really for other people. It just tickled me. Yeah, doesn't it always? Hi, I'm that it's Hayley from Bristol. Hope you're really well. I'm just on my way home from

the school run listening to your 100th episode. Congratulations, scraping the barrel. You mentioned Dream Phone. Well, I still have my Dream Phone game. And at the age of 39, not that long ago had some friends over for an old school sleepover and a game of dream phone. The batteries that go in the phone itself are massive unsurprisingly and he looks cool in whatever he wears. He's not wearing a tie and And then at the end, if you get the right guess, you're right. I like you. Oh, such amazing memories. What a game. Speak to you soon.

What a great game. I'm so jealous you've got that. I have hoarded away a lot of board games. That didn't make it. I don't think that'd be appropriate now. What do you mean? Is that the one you were saying all the naked men are? They're not naked.

Oh, no. They're not naked. They're not naked. They're not naked. They're not naked. They're not naked. They're not naked. They're't think that would be appropriate now. What do you mean? Is that the one you were saying they were all naked men on? They're not naked. Oh no. They're not naked.

It's just weird that it was a game that you had when you were eight. Yes. And they were men. Well get on eBay for Joni. Oh it was great though with the phone in the middle. Honestly it was so good. It was so good. You had a very strange adolescence. No, I didn't.

Talking of adolescence, I've got a question for you. Yep. Heiner, I really enjoy your podcast. It gets me through my lonely days working from home. I have a question for you and Mark. I don't know if you have seen the latest show by Stephen Graham, which was filmed over four episodes in one continuous

shot per episode. I loved it, I thought the acting was amazing, but the behind the scenes from a filming perspective blew my mind. I recall your conversation with Mark where you talked about the live EastEnders episode and Mark said how he loved the challenge of it and would love to do something like it again. I couldn't help but think of Mark and wondered firstly if he would enjoy filming something like it again. I couldn't help but think of Mark and wondered firstly if he would enjoy filming something like Adolescence where it's in one continuous shot and what did he think of the show from a filming point of view?

There we go. Well, I thought it was amazing. But the first thing you need to remember is about performance. My take on it is, yes, it's really clever doing it in one shot. Technically, it's impressive. And I love stuff like that. The ballet that goes on behind the camera. The choreography of everything is fantastic.

Everyone putting together as a team. Yeah. And it does create a pressure, which is very much like it being live, albeit it's not live. And from what I read, I don't know if anyone who worked on it, but from what I read, there were mistakes. Yes. And I know when projects like that have been done in the past, it's not a new thing to do something in one take, in one shot that's happened before. But it does create a pressure.

And that pressure is a bit like soap used to be when a soap was done proper, multi-camera scripted, where you'd rehearse and you'd only really want to do one take. And that was the performance pass. Correct. And you're emulating that. You're doing a single camera drama in one take and that pressure that is applied to the artists, I believe, affects performance. It heightens the performance. It makes it more real. It makes it more different. It makes it more organic.

Well, interestingly, Kat said, I'd love to know if as an actor, Natalie, you would ever consider being filmed in something like that. In my opinion, it has the same pressure as doing a live episode. Would you enjoy that kind of pressure again? Or would it be too stressful knowing you could make or break an episode for everyone else? Or would you revel in the challenge? So Kat, what I would say is I would revel in the challenge. I would love to do it purely because

I know it isn't life. It's as life and you'd give it your all, but you haven't got the sheer panic that everybody is going to see you fail, which is my problem. So it's the best of worlds for me, really. I was just about to say that. It is in a way, isn't it? Yes. Or recording an episode of a soap, multi-camera, where it's kind of,

the take is the king, and you really are striving to do one take and to capture that performance. Used to do that with Mum. Yeah. Yeah, And to capture that performance. Used to do that with mom. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was, that was. Used to shoot myself. Yeah. Well, the takes a big deal then.

Whereas nowadays, traditionally, naturally, because of how it's evolved, you end up doing multiple takes, multiple shots, you know. But that's why I love doing a sitcom. And this series of Not Going Out has been fantastic. We've been trying to do episodes where, I say trying to, been doing episodes where we're sort of running it as one.

Yes. So, okay, there's a little bit that might need to be prerecorded for just logistical, practical reasons, but little bits and pieces. But as a whole, it's like a little 30 minute play that we do. Yeah, brilliant. We do as live. And yes, we might do it twice,

but that's just for insurance. But really, we're striving for it to be perfect the first time. And that's, I love doing that. You know, it can still be tweaked and perfected. But I'm sure that if you were to sit down with adolescents and watch the different takes that were done for different episodes, there'd be different performances for different episodes. There'd be different performances. Absolutely. Different reactions. But the other thing is they haven't got to worry about anything. No. They can just do it as they want to do it. There's no continuity. There's a film. Yeah, exactly. There's a flow. Yeah. Yeah. We're all for it. We're all for it, Cat. Loved it.

You did have also, I can't remember, but I actually don't think there was a name on the text, but another question about adolescence. I think it was the same sort of thing. It was the same sort of thing. Yeah. I think it's a reminder to always put your name on the text. It's nice to give you a name check. Kels said, absolutely love you research that Mark.

Thank you. Do you remember you researched the little bit of chat? Over Darwin thing. Yeah. Yeah. She said, thank you, I couldn't stop laughing at you going into a tangent about it. Kels, it's going off on a tangent. No, it's called waffling on, talking a load of nonsense badly.

Want to research how many farts people do in a day next? No I don't, Kels. Absolutely disgusting. Oh dear. We've hit that level now, have we? Well. Okay. Maybe Georgina can look that up for me

for the next pod, please. Next pod, Georgina. No, no, don't insult her intelligence. Just how many farts, how much wind someone has. Is there a difference between the man and female body? I know that's true. In fact, we had this conversation on the way to Cornwall. Yep.

And Eliza said, no, you're wrong about that. And I said, no, I think you'll find. I'll tell you, I can't even bring myself to tell you the fact. Do you remember the fact Natalie? That we were farting more than you? No, not quite so much. What, do you stink? No.

Do you know what? We are lowering the tone here. Really are lowering the tone. Let's leave it at that. I mean, you and Tony came close. About what? You talking about being, like, you know. Having a poo? Yeah. I can't remember talking about poo with my brother.

You did. You're talking about being ill? Right. And you said you're gonna save that once you've run out of things to talk about. Yeah, let's save it. Save the poo chat. Anyway, it isn't bad to talk about poo.

It's bowel cancer awareness month coming up, may I say. Check your poo. Very good. And that is very, very true. Check it, make sure it's all right. Okay, so how do we do that? Just make sure there isn't any blood in it and make sure it's a regular kind of consistency. If it's really runny or really, really hard, it will hurt you or you're constipated a lot. Obviously it could be IBS but if it

continues and prolongs it, you should check it out. Oh, there you go. Something to think about. It is. Well, Happy Easter Monday, everybody. You can't just segue from that into Happy Easter Monday. What are you doing? I don't know what else to say. Don't ever go near a radio station. But you can't just do that segue.

Oh, that was proper. That was proper partridge, wasn't it? Oh, I don't know if I'm allowed to talk about it. What partridge? Yeah, I was about to say something then. And I thought, oh, I don't think I can mention it. What, Coogan? No, Alan Partridge related thing that I told you last week.

I met somebody. Oh yeah, no you can't. That was so good though. You can't. Really quite like, oh my God. Yeah, yeah. Amazing. Well, one day we can talk about it.

Lurd! Lurd! Wasn't it Dan? Do you remember that? Dan! Dan! Dan! I could do that! Dan! Dan! The best!

That is so... I mean, can you imagine right reading that written down? I'd even go, is that funny? Oh no. Dan! So good. So good. I always remember, have we spoken about this before?

I remember watching a documentary about 9 o'clock news. And there was a sketch and the producer or the director was talking on this documentary and someone came rushing in and said, right we've got the best sketch ever. Right, you ready for this? Have a look at this. Handed it over with a bit of paper and it right, we've got the best sketch ever. Right. You ready for this? Have a look at this handed over a bit of paper. And it was growing books down the pavement. He spots the camera and walks into a lamp post. And they were like, we're talking about that.

Where's the other pages? Yeah, we're going to go and shoot it. Honestly, it's the funniest thing you ever see. And they go off and they shoot it. And sure enough, it is absolutely hilarious. And then they did a follow-up which was he walked down the pavement, spotted the camera, missed the lamppost, gave a little nod of I think get caught out and then fell down a manhole cover. Very good.

The tooth and I remember watching that. Was that before the Vicar of Dibley's manhole cover? You would have been, yeah. I've never seen not the nine o'clock news. I will whip it out for you before we go to bed and you can have a look. And you'll be impressed. It's very, very small and simple as a sketch,

but you'll enjoy it. What are you laughing at? what you're enjoying. What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? It's really funny. This is ridiculous. You haven't even seen it yet. It does sound very underwhelming, but I promise you once you once you clap your eyes on it. You're gonna think that's I Look forward to it good Right, let's go. Let's go. Have a look at it See you later. Oh Bye-bye. Bye
