Martin Comston, do you realise you're the first person that's coming back again because I love you so much on this podcast? Oh, thank you, Paul. You're the first one. What a spotless is. I've actually had a wine and barbecue chicken out that front door. I did not know there was a podcast studio on here. Yes.

Well, they do all sorts of stuff here at this amazing place where we make the podcast in Kings Cross. Such a cool area. Thank you for coming back because there were so many things I still want to talk to you about. The very first time we met, I think it was only when Line of Duty had been the first season. I was one of the OG fans. You came on and you spoke and nobody knew you were Scottish.

Well, Scottish people knew I was Scottish. Yeah, yeah. But people who were obsessed with, I love Scotland, that were obsessed with Line of Duty, they also went, you what? It was so bizarre.

But I still take that as a, it's kind of a compliment. And also you can kind of disappear hear into a character and also when people think you're English they're not listening for the mistakes which when they know your Scottish later on they start listening for every little vowel and everything they go wrong yeah yeah people

that just know they do once they know but before that they just people just accept what they hear but you don't live here of course I mean you live all over the world but you live in America as well so I'm very lucky to split my time I still have a place in Greenuk when I'm from and I've got a place in Vegas

where my wife's from so we kind of do half the year there and half you there which is very it's very we're under no und illusions how lucky we are to do that but also we've got a wee one and do you get time with both grandparents and stuff and maybe sounds a bit thingy

but doing your summers in Scotland and winters in Vegas it's a nice feeling that's why I'm smiling at you that's why you just have this wonderful way about you and I think it's because you have this lovely life and I don't know there's

you work really hard and I know you do, but how lovely to have the two of you are able to be with the families and split your time. I do, maybe, like, people like... Yourself, everybody's always been nice to me, you know? So I do enjoy it. Like, I enjoy when you're walking down the street

and people shout random things at you and when's the next sign of duty or thing from Mean Gordon's podcast. What other random things? Come on. We'll talk about your podcast. Usually now, it's always, which is bizarre and lovely, it's mainly Mean Gordon's podcast, like the stuff that come from that,

people shout to be walking down the street. And it's, I was walking... So maybe this is the other nice day But there's a say in Scotland Where we say we call people Shaggers And that just means like a legend And it could be any walk of life Yeah, yeah, you go like, all right Shagher

That just means like you're top From any walk of life It just means, dang it And I was walking through Edinburgh And it was a load of women At a 6 day of birthday party And as I walked by They went, all right, Shagher

And I was just like, that really filled my heart with joy Like the demographic of that thing And I'm... That's so... But here, if you were in England, it doesn't mean that. But I know, but I like taking

that. You like to be known as a shagger in everywhere. Yeah, but it can be, anybody can be it. You know what I mean? And it's a lovely way to start your morning when you're walking over and everybody goes, all right, shaggers. And it's just subverting that kind of thing.

Like it means something different up where we're from. And I like when people start calling it down here as well because they know it's like a term of endearment. Okay, actually let's go to the podcast because you did bring it up. So let's talk about that. You like to have a laugh. You've got the best smile on your face. Thank you.

So you and Gordon, listen, you and Gordon get on so at a lovely Gordon's who are TV presenter now as well. BBC Morning Live, one-time presenter. Bless him when he did his screen test. He said you were incredibly kind to him. But he said you were really, really, you really looked after him. No, but he was, no, that's just, well, thank you. But he was, you could tell there was that sort of moment of nerves.

Yeah. And I sort of looked round at him and then I just said to Mark, well, you got this? He just, it was natural. Yeah. He's good at what it does. That's the thing with the podcast as well. terms of I can, there was one time he was late and Gordon sometimes he does have that in him and I went, I'm going to start this and I fell to pieces. Like I'm, I just like a rant. Yeah, I'm,

no. I'm not a presenter and it's an art form. It is a skill to be able to tie everything together. And that's why I think we work so well. Like, I can have the odd rant and all that kind of thing. But he's, he's actually a professional at what he does. So when he was late, I went, you know what, I'll read it. I'll introduce. I can do the introductions. But after that, I just completely fell to bits. And that's where like, actually, he, he, he's actually, he, he's, he, he's actually, he, he, he, he's earns his keep. But you're not, you've never been lost for words. But it's, it's a difference thing and you'll know that it is a, that what do you guys call it, Phil? Yeah, to keep things going. Yeah, but it's no, I panic because I would go like, who's Phil? You know, when somebody says that in your ears,

like, it's, it is real, it is a skill honed over years and years of practice and it's, it's, it's not something you can just drop in and do. But you have to be, and again, I think that's why it works so well is because he actually knows what he's doing. So when, how, how, how, how, how, how it all come about then? Whose idea was it? It kind of started during COVID. We're just close pals and during COVID we're just like, for us it became like a

it's kind of an ethos sorry, like restless natives is like a film we both loved. It's like a cult, Scottish film, basically about kind of like Robin Hoods and we thought we want to put on a music festival like I work a lot with our gown hospice where I grew up and I said I want to put a big music festival

on my hometown and with all the proceeds going to that. That fell to pieces pretty quick. But there's a lot, we've got a load of broken promises of what we want to do. We're still planning to do, but it was like a whole,

I mean, I don't like the word like saying like brand, but there was a whole idea behind what we want to do in terms of like a podcast, maybe documentaries, maybe merchandise, maybe giving people jobs. And we still don't know, quite know what it is,

but it's been a lot of fun figuring out. But that's great. And you can only grow from that. Well, the thing is as well as an actor, you spend a lot of, the time waiting on the phone to ring. And with this I feel I've got a lot of, I've got control. Like we decide what we're doing and we decide

what we're talking about. And taking a bit of that back has been really refreshing and I'm feeling you have a little bit of ownership of it. Like I'm really enjoying that. You want to make a difference actually. You, I that's the thing that you're not somebody to sit back on their laurels.

You're somebody who wants to make a difference. You want to do good. I'm totally get that from you each time I've met you. And and I like that but I'm just going to pick up on something you just said because I don't believe you have to sit around and wait for the phone to ring

surely you've passed that now Martin but again it's such a funny thing where our job was last year I'd I come off a really or maybe two years ago now was I come off a really tough run of jobs like four in a row which I'm incredibly lucky to have that

and then the next year I'd like three or four lined up but I was just said to like my team as I was aware and I said like I'm like guys I'm exhausted. I just want to go home, be with my wife and be my wee one and just spend a bit of time. And then they went, oh, by the way, one of those jobs moved. I went, oh, that's great. We've still got the other ones. Oh, another one's moved.

Another one's moved. And all of a sudden, from taking like a month, two month break, you go eight months without work. And it just changes. It just changes so quick. And then you start panicking. So it's one of the great things about our job is the, I kind of like that that you don't know what's going to happen next. But it's also quite terrifying.

I think it's becoming a dad as well. You're lucky to spend that time at home, but you're also thinking, like, I've got to provide. And you get the older you get with that kind of things, like it becomes something different. It's not just about, like, what you want to do as a career. It's like it's about providing a future. And that's what the podcast can also do,

can fill in on those times as well, I'm sure. 100%. That's what the big thing so, so when you're talking, that unexpected, which I thought was a month off, turned into like six, seven months unemployment. I had that to do every week. And I really looked forward to it. But then you start getting nervous going like,

does anybody want to hear this? Yes, they do. They do. But I love my podcast. I really do. Like I can't go a run or go for a walk without one. So I know there's always an audience for out there, but I was like, this is just nonsense going about my head.

Is it, is it? And also as an actor, you kind of, you want to keep a little bit of mystery about yourself. But I like, do that and I really I have major respect for you because you don't talk about your private life and keep it like that

I think I said that to you years ago I just don't talk I think as well like there's a way of doing it like you can talk in general terms but there is bits you want to keep to yourself because it just and I think also in terms of the media and stuff

like they can be respectful when you set those boundaries you know when you say like I don't there's certain things I don't talk about certain things I don't show and look it's up to each every individual what they want to do. They should control their own social media,

but I'm like, there's stuff I don't want people to see. That's just for us. And I think people do then go, all right, he doesn't put that on anywhere. So just respect that. And I really do think, it's not playing a game as to an extent, but like if you set your stall out in that sense,

then people do tend to kind of go, all right, we'll just leave them be. And you've always done that. Just stick with it. Yeah, because, you know what? And it wasn't something that was originally forced, because it came out of something which is quite

when my wife was pregnant we um we we just opened the papers one day and there was a load of pictures of us and a tabloid like he'd followed us for the entire day and we never saw them and I found that quite

unnerving and we hadn't announced that we're pregnant yet and then like your agent and your PR sends you like they're saying they're going to announce it and so and I've got really good advisors but sometimes you kind of need to go

with your gut and they were saying look you need to get ahead of the story you need to announce it I'm like I'm not announcing anything it's on our terms it's like it's not up to anybody else so I just kind of then just went you know what I'm not talking about this at all um

because there's enough pressure on those things as well I mean especially on a mother to be got enough going on without a lot of other stuff part of it so I just like we're just a part of our life we're just going to keep to ourselves and that's that And that's why I'm smiling. They were silenced them because I'm smiling at you

and I respect you for that and we're not going to talk about them. But let's go to the acting. We'll keep coming back to the podcast. But let's talk about the acting. So the last thing, I think, did I speak to you? Yeah, I think I did speak to you about the rig. No, I spoke to somebody else about the rig.

Anyway, we spoke to quite a few people about the rig. That's happening again, is it? Yeah, we're on series two right now. It's pretty mind-blowing to watch. It's wild. been part of something and also Wild is a good word yeah yeah but also

I mean that's the streamers and that sense of completely changed the game and like I was very grateful to Amazon not only in the fact like giving me a job and stuff but they put Scotland at the front and centre of that like in terms of the premiere and the press and all that kind of stuff they really and they've got

a studio in Edinburgh where it's just job after job they're bringing work to Edinburgh all year round which I love but they reach they have is something, I mean, I think we dropped in over 200 countries in one day, and movies don't even have that reach. You know, it was,

it's kind of a game changer in that sense, but also it's just a nice bunch of people. Oh, how lovely? I'd really like everybody on that job, and Edinburgh's one of my favourite cities in the world and spending a summer there, and, like, because it's an ensemble as well,

like, you don't feel like you're carrying the thing, but we just have a laugh. And it is, that stuff can be quite silly, And I love working with Ian Glenn because Ian's old school, Eid's Radda, darling. And me and Ian's got a lot of stuff but he's like, he commits to everything.

Like I remember in the first series there was tremors from like an earthquake or tidal wave. And I find that stuff quite difficult at times. Like I need to do at the moment but like the committing to your body doing all that kind of stuff. You're now in a trip.

That was a little trip. Is that a little trip? Is that a little trem? I feel really self-conscious doing it. But you look at Ian and he's like all in. He's gone. you know he's like one with his body for all that stuff and it's...

Ian Glenn, one with his... Him and Mark, a beautiful Mark Addy, wonderful actor, O'N, and Teal, all of these old-school and it's just great to see these big guys who drinks pints and eats to be, but when they come to that, it's their art form and they really, really commit,

and it's, um... I love being that company and the lovely in El Hampshire and Shendres Sandler, like just top, top actors and lovely people. Like, I don't really enjoy it. Was any of it done on a... No, unfortunately, um, because the first series was during COVID

the first plan was to go there but the costume the set designs was phenomenal like they basically built a rig indoors but I would I like to go to that but I had a bizarre experience this year I do a Scottish travel show called Scottish Fling

I was going to talk to you about that as well but so this year I went to we did the series was Northern Flinging we started in Shetland and went all the way up Norway and I did oil rig survival training just as part of that so coming back to do the rig after I'd done all the kind of plunging. How smug were you?

You're very smart. Go on, you were. A little bit, a little bit smart. A little bit. Like, I definitely said the video to everybody, but also my, okay, there we go. There's a bit like, my dad worked on the rigs. But it's quite a surreal thing,

Gabby, and I thought it was quite glamorous and I always thought it was exciting that my dad was going to do that. I tell me, yeah, you go in this helicopter, the lights go out, you plunge in. I was like, oh, that's a be fun. But when you're there and you see the, reality of it. It's like, actually this is quite, it's quite, not that it's dangerous, but this

happens. You know, and it makes you appreciate, like, what, what those guys do for a living. And I've still got some close friends who work offshore and, you know, it's happened. You know, like, a few of those helicopters have went down. And it's quite, it's weird. It hits something you're really, really looking forward to, but then all of a sudden, you're plunged under. And I don't get me, I did it a few times. I had fun doing it, but it does kind of hit you, that fear of going, like, people have went through this. It's quite, You've plunged under. So you go on like a helicopter,

like the inside of a helicopter, they strap you in, they plunge you in the water and then flip you upside down. In the helicopter? Yeah, in the dark, well, a fake helicopter in a swimming pool and then to simulate.

You didn't say that. You didn't actually say it was a simulator. All right, no, it's all like survival trading. You didn't say it was a simulator. Martin, I thought they actually did that. with you. No, no, so you have to pass this to get on an oil rig for all all oil rig workers. So we went and did that

and it was obviously there's this weird bit which was quite terrifying where they just throw over us out to sea and they just throw you out. Real sea? Yeah, yeah, no way. Not a simulator. No, no, in real sea and then just leave you there and then they just disappear and you've got to just kind of float there. Oh, so I've done this.

Right, somebody else will understand it. I have never been, it was when I was doing kids telly. I've seen see for your feel for, you're face. I have never been as terrified in my just being left, floating in the sea. It was weirdly... Were you on your own? Yes. Yes. Yes. It was kind of peaceful and terrifying at the same time. Did you talk to yourself? Because I did.

Yes, I did you talk about. I kind of shout, I was shouting, I think I shouted, this isn't funny anymore. Okay. So when I was there floating that, I go, I started singing musical theatre songs because I thought, what did you sing? Oh, any musical theatre. from West High Story and Chorus Line. Yeah. I was there. And then I started shouting,

this isn't funny anymore. This isn't funny. Did you get rolled in the boat? Did they save you? No, I got rescued by helicopter. So we had to do the thing as if you were knocked out and then my partner in the show Phil had to, like rescue me. So they like threw out a thing and he had to roll me up like you were a chicken wrap and

then pull you. How long were you in the water for? It felt like an eternity, but it was probably like a minute or two. But it felt when they did so. Oh, get out. I was half. an hour. No.

Half an hour. Wait, in the sea? In the sea. Where? With the Seelink ferry going past. Where? Where? I can see the Sealing Ferry.

In the English Channel. And they just left you for... They did because... Is this about you? This isn't about me. No, but that's terrified. Like I did like two minutes and I was terrified. Yeah, no, no, this was half an hour.

It was 25 minutes. So I'm exaggerating a bit. It was 25 minutes. But I had a microphone and they said, don't worry, because you got a microphone. You can talk. You'll be fine. But I saw the microphone float away.

But you were you So with our survival suit You were on your back Could you at least put your legs down and look around Because I was just like flat Just looking straight up I had lots of Floating device

Half an hour's a long time Half an hour And I couldn't see the shore So I couldn't see the shore Because what was this for? What was it? Saturday morning kids telly But what was the to show

What was? The show That you can see the water Every long It was air sea rescue Right. And I remember seeing the man walking, I kept saying, I kept going, this isn't funny anymore, this is funny.

Oh, oh, one singular sensation. Oh, this isn't funny. And then I was swearing a lot and I was doing all sorts of things. And then I talked through all the tube. I was trying to remember the tube stops. So you were there a lot longer than I was. A long time. And then I saw the man, I saw the helicopter.

Yeah. And I'd done my training. I saw the man walking towards me on the water. because he's dangling under the helicopter to rescue me. And I remember they said to me, don't open your mouth because of the blade. But I was so excited, I was going to go, hello! And I thought I was going to drought with the water going in my face.

And then he picked me up and then I kept kissing him. And then when we got to the top, and I kept trying to hug him and he went, arms down, arms down. Because then I'd fall through the move. Yeah, they don't mess about. Yeah. And then, so I got to the top and I sat there with my feet dangling. I kept kissing this man. And then I went, can I do it again?

and then... Yeah, it gets excited. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But I don't want to do it again. But it's that kind of... Because we did those two and also the fire training, like if a fire broke out.

What did you have to do? So as if there's a fire on the oil rig and it was so amazing to see the skills of these firemen because you always have this idea of firemen with the water firing out the holes. But the way they use the spray as like a shield so if you get it wide, it can literally be like a whole shield and you can get right into this fire.

I mean, it's not a visual medium back and show you after it and it was getting so close to this kind of like of infernal but the way they used the water not just as something to put a fire out but as protection. It was amazing to you. So where were you?

Were you holding the house? Yeah, I was doing it. I was doing the thing. You were the host holder? Yeah, yeah. And they're behind you, kind of pushing you in and they push you like, literally you're like a foot from this infernal.

But the way you use the water thing is like, it becomes this huge shield in front of you And it's scary at first, but then you get into it. It's exciting. So what else other training did you have to do for the rig then? That wasn't even for the rig. That's the weird thing. That was for the documentary.

That was for the documentary? Yeah, yeah. We just because we did Norway top to bottom. And that was just, and obviously the oil industry is something huge in Norway. So it was just something we're doing on the way. So you didn't have to do anything for the rig? No, like I spoke to it because my character is the comms guy. So I spoke to like the guy who does the radios and kind of stuff.

and did my research and all that. And obviously we watched a lot of documentaries and spoke to my dad and what that was like. Yeah, that was the best research. Yeah, it was good. And I gave them my boots at the end, which was nice. Oh, how lovely. Yeah, that was nice.

That was a nice thing you do. Aren't you going to need them for the new season? Oh, they'll get me new ones. Oh, that's nice. Did you keep anything from other shows? Line of Duty. Police say you've got a waistcoat? Yeah, I've got a couple of wets coats.

Have you? Yeah, but I actually gave them all to a charity shop. I gave them all to a... Oh. I kind of keep them and then, yeah, there's... So you don't have any of them left? I don't think so because, again, our gown hospice, I work with quite a lot and they've got the local shop,

so I'll get a load of clothes from a show and then I'll put them in there. Oh, that's so lovely. I'll tweet it and people will go on and get them. But they're, um... And yeah, the last ones, which are really nice and really... They were tailored. They've still got them, so maybe they'll be wheeled out again, who knows? What?

So when you finish your series, they always keep it just in case. Because you have to have continuity from the last year. I wasn't going to ask you. I was not, I was the question that everybody, apart from calling you shagger, and if people didn't hear the beginning of this. Would you say it sounds good?

I take that as such a compliment. Yeah, but people that weren't listening. You're always thinking you're a top shagger. Yeah. If people weren't listening to the beginning of this, they're going to just think, what? He sleeps around. No, he's a top shagger.

Top shagger. We need to get this in life. It's so good. It's so good when you hear something like you say that. I love it. All right, next time I see you in the street. All right, top shagger. Shagga.

Okay, just shagga. Yeah, shagga. And then top shagger's like another level above. Okay. Shagga. Okay. All right. And I wasn't going to say that, obviously, because I didn't know what you told me.

And then I wasn't going to say, I wasn't going to mention, Lod. But you just, you just said what you just said. Yeah. But you would say Vicki, top shagher. Adi, top shagher. Legends. Vicky's. Vicki's Bickey, MBE now.

I know. The two of them are just two my closest friends. I know. And with it all, again, the fact that people ask me about it, I love it. Like if I was in a young... Was you really? Yeah, because if I was in a younger stage of my career and maybe you were like, you go,

I need to do something different. I need to be known for something else. But I love that people have taken it to the hearts. I really, I'm incredibly proud of it. And the fact that people want us back means we're doing something right. When people stop asking me about it, that's the time to worry.

Oh, that's interesting. Yeah, I'm... You're not blasé about it at all, though, are you? No, because it's something... And nothing's changed from this point. I think we'd all love to work together again. And it's just timing. And also with Jed, of course, it all stems from Jed.

He won't do it just for the sake of it. If there's a story to tell, he'll do it. And he's always got things bobbing around in his head. And we do talk about it. Like, we do, what would we do it if? But it's just, you know, success, success, we're all off doing different things. So tying us all down and again, doing it

for the right reason, not just for the sake of it. That's so good to hear actually. I mean, I've interviewed Jared a few times and I saw him last year and he said, I know you're going to ask. I said, well, I'm not going to ask but we're doing a Q&A. I can't stop what the... And of course, the first question in the audience they want.

And he says he takes that... Yes, a compliment. It's a huge compliment. Massive compliment. I said when people stop asking, that'll be a sad day. It's very interesting because on this podcast we've spoken to stars of Ted Lassau which of course has finished it was a huge phenomenon as well Lovely

Oh my God Jeremy Swift yesterday it was yet But I can't think Brett Goldstein because I love Have you watched Um Yes There's shrink

It's so good Shrinking Trinking is so good Harrison It's been cancelled No Yeah No

I could be wrong I think you've got to be No No In fact my daughter told me because she loved it. But no, don't talk about, this is another podcast we talk about Brett, because Brett is meant,

have you been on his one? No, but I think he's such a talent. He's such a talent. Yeah, he's great. No, it's not been cancelled. That's quite hard to take that. Okay, the team is looking it up. Will and Joe behind the glass, I think shrinking.

Because I had a bizarre thing. It's one of the reasons I love London. My name is Joe was the film where I saw that really made me go, I want to be an actor, but I was obsessed by Indiana Jones. when I was growing up and Harrison Ford Have you met him? No, I bumped out to the guy last night

and who wrote... Who did Harrison? No, who wrote the next one who wrote Diala Destiny and it was just through it and I met the amazing Benedict Wong was just like I'm a massive fan of Benix and we're just like

oh you, you, you, we just, it's a great thing about London we had a drink and casually he's made, said, oh yeah, I just wrote the last Indiana Jones and that's one of the things I do love about coming down here. You don't know who you're going to bump into it by it.

Well, you just had you planned to meet? No, and I was walking out and just bumped into this guy But I was an Indiana Jones fanatic as a kid. But it was everything about it. Is that the reason you wanted to be an actor? I think it was the thing that started. Because I remember my mum saying,

and I got a documentary made about me when I was like 17. And I remember mum saying, oh, he refused to answer to any other name other than Indy for a year when he was like seven or eight. And I remember going, Mum, that's just made up. And then the picture comes up on the screen of me with my fedora and my leather jacket and my whip.

And it all just come flooding back. I went, oh no, I did. How would you be if you met Harrison Ford? I kind of don't want to meet him because I love him. Oh, when we just were going to bring him in? That was your surprise. Oh. I mean, even films like the fugitive, you know.

I mean, he's just such a, he said something which has always stuck with me as well in terms of like stuntmen, stard women are phenomenal at what they do. And they're there for a reason. So you don't get hurt and you can keep filming. But Harrison Ford said something. and he said, like, when you see the reaction on the actor's face, it keeps you in tune with what they're doing, you know, and the stakes are up.

So that's always stayed with me that I try and do as much as I can. Like, there's stuff that you can't do it, and rightly so. But if you can do it and show the reaction on your face, because I do think sometimes when they cut to a massive wide, you just go, stunt person and you kind of lose the jeopardy. Apart from if it's Tom Cruise. Of course, of course it's Tom Cruise. But even that, that's what's great with Tom Cruise.

you go like that could be anybody but you know it's Tom Cruise but with us is that can you go oh yeah it's somebody else but so I try and do as much as possible because it's it's the fear in jeopardy and the actor's face that keeps you connected to what they're doing so you do your own stunts I try and do as much as I can but you can't always and rightly so I said because there are dangerous things but what I can and I quite like they're off and tumble of it

because you're well it doesn't let's heart back to your football a bit I'd just like a round on the Oh, sorry, Socorade. Yeah. How happy were you? I was good. You loved it, didn't you? It was different.

It was actually quite stressful. I didn't know because I wasn't allowed to play this year because we were filming insurance. But I was like being the manager and... But you looked like you were having the best time. Because all of a sudden, the weird thing was like, but it was quite stressful making sure like everybody gets a game, everybody gets the time they deserve,

because people came there and very kindly gave up their time. But also to win it. Like I'm not. coming here to get beat by England. I know it's a charity game but I'm not losing. But you're, that's, you, at heart, your footballer still, aren't you?

And I loved it, like, and she would say it, because Vicki's lovely part, our Johnny Owens. Because when we, we were 1-0 and then we went 2-1-up and Vicky turned round and gave, she was giving me it tight on the sidelines. Vicki was giving me all sorts of abuse.

And then I was like, right, we're winning this now. I remember Johnny Arthur that says, I knew you were winning as soon as you gave it. You went too early, Vicky. She went far too early. That's so funny. But it's just, it's a, like, that, I mean, I went to Bangladesh this year as part of the trip, and it's something it will always stay with me.

But I've saw what that game does, and I'm not being over-dramatic. They say it changes lives and it saves lives. I've seen it first-hand, and I think it's now 90 million over a thing. That's an incredible amount. Crazy amount of money. And I've seen the difference it makes. So, there we were going, I was going to go back to football, but actually what I want to end on

is the thing that always and the reason I completely adore you, Martin, and Gordon, shouldn't have shown you that video and put it out on social media with me saying I love Martin. No, because he loves it. Because he, well, we've got such a thinking relationship is just like, it's always winding each other up.

But we, in the best whistle of terms, he's like, I've just walked in here and he says, I'm trying to get my confidence up and this is Gabby's first thing, she says, where's Martin? Oh, I want Martin. But I just want to end on things that make you laugh because you talk about passionately about all the charity work you do

and I love you for that. I respect you so much. I respect you for keeping your private life private and always do so. I respect you as an actor but also you are naughty. You are naughty. So I've interviewed the three of you

and honestly the twinkling you... I mean Adrian, bless him. He's just so lovely. and Vix is just so naughty and you're naughty you love it what makes you properly lose it

a lot of things I like to laugh in those terms me and Vicky do this stupid voice which makes nobody else laugh but mean her and I don't know how to

describe it other than this kind of weird hybrid Russian I don't know what else accent and it drives everybody else up the wall just do a little bit first

I know I don't know We can't talk like this But everybody else hates it And every year We go we're not doing that again Like we're not doing the voice And on the first day

It's like who's going to break first And then we'll do it And it gets quite addictive Other people start doing it around And it's We like annoying people with it And it drives Adrian up the wall Like I said

You're naughty Yeah and I quite like And that is quite naughty that when I have this really bad habit when I when I see I'm winding somebody up like I'll turn it up to a living when I fight in Gordon scissors like when I see

something I'm like alright oh they're not happy with that how far can I push it and that's it can be a bad at times it can be but I for some reason it just really makes me laugh when I can see people getting really wound up oh I just and that's why I adore you you're just

wonderful I carry on doing all the things to do thanks for being on this again And actually you could just come in every week because we all love you so much. Thank you.
