All right, Doughnut Dunkers,
it's Pete Donaldson and Luke Merle on the Luke and Pete Show,
and we're back for another Monday episode.
A dose, if you will.
The weekend is over,
and we're back to fill your ears with nonsense,
non-secretorsaries and badly planned content.
Allow Pete Donaldson to give you a dose.
Yes, exactly.
No penicillin can defeat.
Do we still use penicillin?
Surely.
Why can't penicillin come back?
Because we keep complaining about the antibiotics.
But guys, we need an alternative.
Is that the umbrella term, penicillin?
For what?
I think there's different other types of it, aren't there?
Yeah.
Amoxicillin.
I don't remember the last time I saw some medication
at a friend's house or an elderly relative's
and saw the words penicillin on the screen.
Is it a cellin, though?
Is it just kind of different derivatives of cellin?
I think so, yeah.
That's how it works.
How's your weekend been, Peter?
Been good.
I've been in Seville, baby.
Oh, yeah?
Tell us about that.
I recommend that for a little city break.
It was magnificent.
The food was fantastic.
The buildings were amazing.
They had fountains and plazas and oranges growing from every tree.
Every tree?
Every tree had an orange in it, and I was eating them liberally.
I was like,
why is nobody eating these oranges?
And I found out it's because they're quite bitter,
but still not uneatable.
What's the general rule?
The general rule is that...
Is it enough for everyone?
If you just walk around,
you can just pick them.
I'm certain that's not the case,
but I did.
When we were in Menorca,
I took a couple of lemons
from the lemon tree in the garden
and brought them home.
Did you make lemon marmalade?
Did you make lemon curd?
No, Mimi made an amazing, yeah, like a lemon bread.
Right, okay.
With those lemons.
But I didn't know if I was allowed to take them or not,
but I didn't take them off at the airport or anything.
Yeah, they're quite careful about importing veg, aren't they?
Just in case it disrupts the
fine
ecosystem.
At JFK airport, there's a woman whose job
it is to just grind up food.
What a job.
I was watching an airport show in
Seville, and a man had these
frozen
marinating chicken.
He wasn't even in a fridge or anything.
It was just a man importing barbecue meats.
And he's like, it's for a barbecue.
And I'm like, I'm sorry, we have to take this off you.
You mad bastard.
They're really hot in Australia and New Zealand, aren't they?
Yeah, because they have a very delicate ecosystem.
But I would argue that I imagine the fire is sort of seeing off a lot of that.
And I would argue you are not an expert
in that field
well
who is
not me
certainly not
the heads of state
no
now you're getting
into political satire
again
what was the indie bar
like in Seville
fun club
was it
it was
no it was just a bar
really
it was nice though
where was it
on the snob scale
not as good a snob not spacious there was I mean it wasn't really an indie bar it was just a bar, really. It was nice, though. Where was it on the snob scale? It's not as good a snob.
Not spacious.
I mean, it wasn't really an indie bar.
It was just a bar where it played sort of alright music.
The Killers, The Man, was played every night,
which I'm not sure you're familiar with.
Wait, you went to the same bar every night?
No, but you asked what the...
The Indiest Bar was a bar.
It had on the walls pictures of Nirvana.
And they were dressed in suits.
And they looked like they were in a funeral or awake.
And I was like, I've never seen that picture of Kurt Cobain.
And then I realized there was a picture of Little Richard in one of the plazas in Portugal.
And I realized that it was just photo shops of famous musicians in one of the plazas in Portugal and I realised
that it was just
photoshops of like
famous musicians
in,
not Portugal,
in Seville rather
and they'd just done them
themselves.
But there is a famous
picture of Nirvana
dressed in black shirt
and tie.
Right,
okay.
So maybe something
to do with that perhaps.
So yeah,
no,
it was really good.
A lovely time as had?
It was so good.
Who did you fly with?
British Airways.
And what was their
safety demonstration like?
I wasn't.
I was watching that NFL Netflix documentary about Aaron.
Aaron Hernandez.
Aaron Hernandez.
I'm two episodes into that, yeah.
What a story.
Amazing story.
Why have I never heard of this story?
It's insane.
It's like Joey Barton having a sideline in Moida.
You know when I tell stories in the office,
and after a couple of minutes,
everyone just switches off, but I carry on. I think i might have told that before but people just weren't
listening which is fine it's absolutely fair enough but i think that's what a story it's amazing
um the world's fair in 1992 in seville by the way oh what did i have that they had the um
scene they had a world's fair um showcasing the very best that seville had to offer in 1992 and
i kept seeing these stickers and promotional radios and stuff
in the vintage shops.
Seville 92, Seville 92, Seville 92.
They offered Chicago as a possible kind of sister thing.
But it was all celebrating the 500th anniversary
of Christopher Columbus leaving Seville.
Oh, okay.
And obviously discovering the Americas.
But they, yeah, and they had this big World Fair,
this big showcase.
And ever since 1992, it's been left to go to shit.
And it is wonderful.
I love nature taking over these big kind of like,
these big kind of like displays.
They've got these big like worlds and constructions.
And then there's like a space rocket that's just gone to shit.
It's brilliant.
There's a lot of abandoned
Olympic sites,
aren't there?
Yes.
I love walking.
I'd love to walk around.
Could you walk around
the one in Seville?
No.
There was a man
who stopped us.
Oh, really?
We tried to get in
but a man stopped us.
But I love anything like that.
I love that kind of abandon.
I think that's why
a lot of music videos,
a lot of people are obsessed
with the area around Pri it's a pripyat near chernobyl
the um the big the famous fairground um yeah stunning stunning stunning site there's a great
book i think i've talked about before eric larson devil in the white city about a serial killer
who was operating at the same time as the World's Fair in Chicago
in the late 19th century.
In my mind, the European ones, they used to call them expos.
Yes.
Is it called an expo?
Is that the same thing, though?
It's just a different name for it?
Yeah, I think so.
It's just a different World's Fair thing, yeah.
Okay.
Interesting.
Because we had, I think we talked about this on the show before,
we had the Garden Festival in the North East.
And Gateshead, that was a big deal when I was a kid. We had the Garden Festival in the North East. And Gateshead, that was a big deal when I was a kid.
We had the Garden Festival.
Then I think we went to Liverpool
and also went to a place in North Wales as well.
Was the Gateshead Garden Festival
better than the Seville Expo, do you think?
Hard to say, but it was certainly,
they'd sort of taken over.
Did they have to do the same approach
to air conditioning because of the hot weather?
Very, very doubtful.
I remember having a great day out at the garden festivals.
It was a beautiful celebration of all things Northeastern gardening.
Is that the one where you sat on the elephant?
No, that was just a dirty old circus.
Dirty old circus.
Dirty old circus.
Listen, Pete, while you're away, an amazing news.
We've got a new, by the way, we've got a new mic going on here today.
And I can't hear if I'm on the mic or not
so if I go off the mic
to those listening
I apologise
you should be able to hear
whether you're on the mic
I can hear if I'm on the mic
I'm not on the mic now
now I'm on the mic
your mic skills are better than mine
and while you're away Peter
there was a big story
in the snooker
right
which of course
it was the world
masters snooker
which is a big event
I think it's considered
one of the big three events
along with the UK Open
and the World Championships.
And in the,
I believe it was
the semi-final
between Stuart Bingham
and someone else,
there was an issue
with a crowd member,
an audience member,
who had brought
a whoopee cushion in.
Had he brought
a whoopee cushion?
And it will have been a he.
Yeah. First of all, have been a he. Yeah.
First of all, 100% a he.
Second of all, listen to make up your own mind.
Here we go.
There must be a problem at the minute in the auditorium.
If they spot him, he'll have to go.
I think it might be someone with a whoopee cushion.
Can you believe it
that's all we need
but
if they find him
he's gone
he's gone
yeah someone's
planted it somewhere
just come and
shed your own bread
so
to put it in perspective
though
the
commentators
I never want to hang out
with those commentators
they're not enjoying it miserable the players are gutted the players are fuming but the crowd are absolutely loving it To put it in perspective though, the... Commentators. I never want to hang out with those commentators.
They're not enjoying it.
Miserable.
The players are gutted.
Miserable. The players are fuming,
but the crowd are absolutely loving it.
Yeah,
for us they are.
So,
Eurosport,
and this is one of the most important
stories of the year so far,
so I make no apology
for doing a deep dive on this.
That was the BBC's coverage.
Right.
Eurosport have gone for
the fart machine angle.
They don't think it's a whoopee cushion.
Of course it's not a whoopee cushion.
It's clearly a fart machine
that can be set off remotely.
Let me know what you make of this.
That's a big one.
That's a good one.
So,
someone tried to derail
the Masters,
which by the way,
as you know,
I'm a big Snooker fan.
I'm going to go to the Worlds
again this year.
I don't endorse it
but I understand
I'm not po-faced enough
to say that
it's not funny
it's good
it was a great gag
because it's
so tense and quiet
and it's
it's really hard
to figure out
who it is
and he's not doing it
when the guy's
playing his shot
he's doing it afterwards
yeah
which I think
he's kind of making
a concession
to the fact that
he does love snooker
but he wants to have a laugh as well.
Because if you did it just so the guy pulled the cube back,
that would be poor form, right?
It would be very hard to figure out who it was
because obviously it'll be an RF,
remotely controlled unit, I imagine.
I imagine it's not line of sight
because that would be too obvious.
Talk to me about the tech.
How would it work? Bluetooth?
No, I don't think it'll be Bluetooth.
It's way too puerile to put Bluetooth technology in there.
RF, so you just mean like a remote-controlled car?
Yeah, so it'll be like a radio-controlled fart machine.
So the fart machine will be hidden somewhere.
I mean, it's worrying that you can hide anything in such a public event.
And you can do it from the confines of your pocket.
So you just need to see everyone's hands, what they're up to.
I've seen people...
Everyone put their hands up.
Yeah.
I've seen people removed from
the Crucible Theatre
in Sheffield
for the World Snooker
yeah
purely for crisp reasons
yeah
bag of crisp reasons
they are zero tolerance
like you wouldn't believe
people who cannot
handle
a crisp packet
I'm quite good
at quietly doing stuff
I was in the Airbnb
all the weekend
I know you are.
And people, all of my friends just walk down the stairs like this.
Yeah.
I'm like a ninja.
Even with my heaviest, loudest, cloggiest shoes.
I've got a theory about that.
Arrogance.
Arrogance.
People who slam doors.
Arrogance.
I have this conversation with my wife very regularly.
people who slam doors arrogant
I have this conversation
with my wife
very regularly
and I think that
even almost sometimes
subconsciously
when you live in London
in a flat
you learn to walk
on the balls of your feet
quietly
but if you've never had
a history of living
in that kind of environment
you don't
so I think Mimi
stomps around
right
she's tiny
I know but we've got
people living below us
so I say
you need to
bear it in mind
because sometimes
we're on a WhatsApp group
with downstairs neighbors
we're quite good friends
with them
but they will say
oh look
the baby's asleep
kind of thing
and I say
it's you
people say it's me
but it's not
it's definitely you
because I've lived
in a flat for so long
I know
that you can't
stomp around like that
she's from like
a townhouse
she used to be
in America
where everyone's got space
and there's not
anyone around
for another 50 metres
so I think it's probably something to do with that so do your friends not have a history of living in flats It used to be in America where everyone's got space and there's not anyone around for another 50 metres.
So I think it's probably something to do with that.
So do your friends not have a history of living in flats?
Yeah, I guess they have got their own houses.
My mum lives in a high-rise that's all cement, so maybe.
Maybe.
Maybe they're just twats.
How was the Airbnb discipline this time around?
It was good. I smashed a glass and put washing
liquid in the
dishwasher
which created
many suds.
A problematic amount of suds.
They didn't look well.
If I hadn't sorted it out and neutralised
the ridiculous amount of suds that was
piling out of the dishwasher
with some window
washing fluid, which obviously is...
Well, it seemed a little vinegary.
It smelled a bit vinegary, so that's going to
calm down the alkali in it.
So chucked that in, calmed it down. Lovely old job.
Little science experiment.
Yeah, I'd made a real mess.
Anyone with a dishwasher will say,
never do that. I've not had a dishwasher for ages.
I can remember when I was traveling with my friends
and a few of them, their feet started to stink after a while.
We complained about it.
So they, obviously because they've been wearing trainers with no socks.
Right.
So they said, oh, look, we'll clean our trainers.
And they didn't want to push them through the washing machine
because I think it can muck up around with the stitching.
So they got some washing up liquid and cleaned them.
It was fine.
It worked.
And then like about a week later,
it starts getting foamy.
And we started,
it started to rain and they all foamed up.
Like it was,
it was mad.
It looked like they had some kind of massive feet condition.
So it can happen.
Can happen baby.
It can happen.
All right,
Peter,
should we have a little break?
And when we come back from the break,
I think for the first time ever,
we're going to start marking some of your homework.
With the right equipment, you can make your own sausage at home.
I'm too scared, I told you.
You ever made your own sausage?
Too scared to.
What do you mean?
I told you, we talked about this before.
I'm worried about getting into the sleeve, into the sheath.
Fun love making.
Hello at LukeandPeteShow.com is the email address for
your generic emails and of course your homework now on thursday we set you the task of spending
the weekend or at least a portion of the weekend heading up into the attic and telling us the most
uh interesting thing you could find so without further ado, I am going to start
with Rory,
who said,
hi guys,
I recently moved into my loft.
You'll like this one, Pete.
However,
when I look into my mum's loft,
so what he's basically saying is,
he can't look into his attic
because he's converted his attic
into a place he now lives.
Can we rule out the possibility of a second attic above the attic?
I think we can rule that out.
Right.
He'd probably know about that, wouldn't he?
He would.
He's looked into his mum's attic instead and said,
because I visited her this weekend,
and I found something that might twig Mr. Donaldson's interest.
Oh.
I found one of the very first laptops, a Sinclair ZX88.
What?
That can basically be described as a keyboard
with calculator screen that runs along the top of the keys.
When I continued to look, however,
I could not find a power lead.
I asked my mum about the lead.
She informed me that my late dad had lost it
and they just kept hold of it
in the hope they could either sell it or find the lead.
This has cemented my opinion
that my
mother is a class a hoarder love the show steady rory my mother is a class a hoarder love the show
rory pete um any thoughts on the zx88 sinclair is it a spectrum early spectrum yeah i mean i don't
think it is a sinclair uh zx88 I think you might be talking about a Cambridge Z88,
which is a, it's a
similar Z80-based computer
with a tiny calculator
screen. I don't think Sinclair were involved.
I might be wrong.
I think it evolved from
Clive Sinclair's system.
But yeah, that's what I'm
basing my very
limited knowledge about that kind of sphere
I was an Amstrad man
so there were very few
crossovers there
but the Z80
obviously a very very
popular processor
at the time
and when you sit
at the Homework
for Thursday's show
across the weekend
you'll be able to take
it down your own avenue
this week
but when I did it
I didn't think of how much
this would be up your street
right
what basically is happening
is people are finding
old tech and cables up in their attic because was him has been in touch another one that
will pique your interest peter he says hi chaps went rummaging through my attic not much in there
apart from the usual boxes of vhs tapes spare mattresses and old suitcases but i did however
come across a box of cables with one in particular that pete may enjoy it's's a USB 2.0 on one end and a 3.5mm audio jack on the other.
Can't for the life of me figure out what it would be for.
Maybe you can shed some light on it, Pete.
I've taken a look.
Okay.
See, it attached the photo very helpfully.
I think it is for
a digital camera
to provide some kind of video out
that could possibly
end up
at a
thing
at a laptop
or something
or
could just be
a charging cable
you can send
power down
anything
these days
obviously this is
very old
three and a half
jack
mini jack
it's got a mini jack
right
you could send
power down that
could you
you can send
anything down
anything yeah
correct
you can send
video down
you can send video down ethernet mate that anything down anything yeah correct you can send video down you can send
video down
ethernet mate
that's how wild
that is
so yeah
hopefully that
solves your
problem Wazeem
this is a very
good one from
Tom from
Manchester who
says the attic
in my house is
my room and
thus is full of
loads of tat
but last year I
went to the weird
and wonderful
festival Boomtown
Fair what's the Boomtown Fair.
What's the Boomtown Fair?
I don't know.
I didn't look it up,
but it sounds,
apparently,
it seems very weird.
And he says,
it wasn't until I was back home
unpacking my bag
that I found an odd-weathered letter
titled Yoga Instructor.
And the letter reads,
Dear friend,
I can see you reading these words.
I know you.
Do you know me?
I doubt it.
If you know me, you would be running. I know you. Do you know me? I doubt it.
If you know me, you would be running. I am watching you right now. This is no laughing matter.
I need you to do something for me. If you do this, you will escape unharmed.
Kneel down. Get on your knees. Shout at the sky these words.
Oh, beloved turnip, I love you like the flowers love the sun. Come back to me, old turnip. I love turnips.
There. That wasn't hard, was it?
You are safe for now.
I am always watching, Mr. Turnip.
Yeah, I've looked at the festival lineup, and that kind of letter probably would be found more often than not.
Just wacky cunts, is it?
Yeah.
It's a little bit steampunk for me, Stephen.
For those listening, they should understand
that whenever I see anything to do with either Only Fools and Horses
or steampunk, I always take a photo,
or if I can take a copy of it, do that,
and always share it with Peter.
Don't I?
Yeah, you should send it to Tom in Manchester.
It sounds like right up his street.
Tom, are you a steampunk?
Are you a steampunk man?
How many cogs have you got in your life?
Is the entrance to your attic bedroom got a lot of cogs in it?
The hinges are just cogs.
Be honest.
Do a cog check.
Is it a big cog?
And let us know.
Is your house coggy?
Coggy registered?
I'm in charge of the homework this week, of course,
so I'm happy to continue.
But did you do any homework in yourself?
Because I can,
I can read something here from,
um,
Matt in Edinburgh.
Well,
I don't have a loft,
so I can't really,
as I said,
I'd have to break into the,
um,
flat above me.
I found,
don't do that.
Not again.
I found a amazing,
um,
wrapped in newspaper.
Yeah.
Huge print of,
um,
what I believe they call
the Green Man.
Do you know that?
What's the Green Man?
What do you mean?
It's like a spirit,
like a nature spirit.
Right.
It's found
all sorts of architecture.
It looks like that.
Oh, yeah.
I've seen one of them before.
I found a big,
for some reason,
a massive print of that
wrapped in newspaper in my attic,
presumably from the people
who lived there before me.
Why would they leave that behind?
Don't know.
Big picture of a green face.
Here's a bit of homework
that's sent just six hours ago.
So you've probably...
Hot off the press!
Good-ish morning.
Firstly, I love the podcast.
I will admit it was a slow burner for me.
All right.
Dig.
I live full-time in Asia, being purposely vague here.
It's weirdly a little slice of home that you look at Pete Shost.
There you go.
Fines in loft.
I was planning a very 40-year-old man activity this past weekend,
namely clearing the loft as the wife and kids were away.
Your request for fines last week inspired me to actually do it.
My aim is to bring down
some old clothes and suitcases
to take to the charity shop.
Rock and roll lifestyle
I'm currently living.
Once all of this was down,
I sifted through all the pockets
and compartments of random items
in preparation for cleaning them.
This is what I found.
They were what can only be described
as three disco biscuits
from a little while ago.
Initially, I was very relieved
that this was not going to be sent
to the old days at Scope and put them into the bin.
Then I got bored.
With a clear Saturday until Sunday evening ahead of me,
I thought, stuff it, I'm going to take one, and then another,
and then a bit later, the last one.
I think I watched some football on Saturday.
I certainly played a lot of mid-late 90s dance music that evening,
according to my Spotify account.
Sunday was awful.
McDonald's breakfast,
two pizzas at lunchtime,
one saved for my tea.
A lot of time on the sofa.
A low day.
Anyway,
what I found on my loft
was feelings of self-doubt,
some existential crisis
and a bit of loathing.
Thank you.
I blame you.
Yeah, I mean,
that's the thing about the attics.
You go up there
and you think you're just going to find
some old bits of tat
and you might find some drugs.
You find an existential crisis.
Can happen. Why don't you have a little drug box? Anonymous men. Yeah, find some drugs. You find an existential crisis. Can happen.
Why don't you have
a little drug box?
Anonymous men.
Yeah, you should do.
A woman.
Could be a woman.
It's a man.
Could be a woman.
I remember someone I know
who I also won't name
stealing the box
that they put
the confiscated drugs in
at a nightclub once
and just leaving with it.
Okay.
And it was like
a little round suitcase.
Yeah.
No, it was old fashioned.
Like a hat box.
Yeah, like a hat box
full of different drugs,
but it was every type of drugs.
It was like
contraceptive pill,
paracetamol.
Oh,
that is not as interesting.
Disco biscuits,
weed,
all sorts in this box.
Nice.
My friend stole it.
They didn't even know. They didn't even know.
They didn't even know.
What they were doing
is they were searching people.
If they found the drugs,
they were obviously
saying to the person
you couldn't come in.
And take the drugs.
And put them in the box.
I guess they had to keep them
for the police or something.
Right.
But obviously that didn't
happen very often.
It was probably one
in every 50 people.
So they weren't going
to the box very often.
And the box was just sat there. So my friend just took it. I was like, yeah, fair dues. No wouldn't go into the box very often and the box just sat there.
So my friend just took it.
Yeah, fair dues.
No one's using it.
Ask me what he did
with it next.
He fed it all to a horse.
He fed it all to a horse.
No, he handed them
all out on the night bus.
He handed them all
out on the night bus.
Correct.
That,
drugs are moody,
grey market,
grey area business.
Yeah.
If you're
taking drugs
that a man gave to you
from a suitcase
a little hat box
in a
on a night bus
yeah
you've only got yourself to blame
yeah
alright
and I don't care what the Daily Mail says
about it
stop
stop ruining the fun for everyone else
because you're going to hurt yourself
if you're eating drugs
from a night bus man
eating them
eating them
eating the drugs from the night bus man yeah I'm just Eating them. Eating the drugs from the night bus man.
I'm just saying,
I'm just,
I'm just,
look,
all I am is a vehicle for the story.
You get on the bus with your day server and you come off.
Smoke a reefer in the corner.
Smoke some reefer in the corner that a man's given you on the night bus.
Yeah.
Disgusting.
Are people normally discerning with who they buy drugs from?
No,
but I mean,
yeah,
but he's just handing them out.
He's a man handing out drugs.
Yeah.
Like a mad, oh, that's on CCTV. out he's a man handing out drugs yeah like a mad
oh that's on CCTV
first one's free
isn't it
that's how they get you
that's how they get you
let's have a look at
a couple of
regular emails
but thank you very much
for everyone
who contributed
with their homework
obviously Pete will be
setting more homework
for you on Thursday
and who knows
what he's going to set
could be anything he's quite to set. Could be anything.
He's quite an imaginative chap.
But if I know Pete well,
he probably won't plan it in advance.
He'll probably just come up with it.
See how I go.
See how he goes.
All right, what about this from Matt Littlestone,
who says,
Hi guys, in the last episode,
during the discussion on the mousetrap,
of course, the Agatha Christie story,
now a play in the West End.
Luke was under the impression
that the mousetrap rotated its ending
in order to keep the audience unaware
of who the murderer might be
and thus increase the show's longevity.
I wasn't under the impression of that.
I just inquired if that was the case.
I didn't know because I've only seen it once.
But Matt says,
as far as I'm aware, this is incorrect,
but I have a suspicion that Luke may be thinking
of The Mystery of Edwin Drood,
the musical based on the unfinished work of Charles Dickens.
This show, which had a West End run in 1987,
allowed the audience to choose the ending
and in particular, the murderer of Edwin Drood.
I have a vague memory of going to see the show myself.
I don't think it was very good as it didn't last long.
Unlike The Mousetrap, which I have not yet seen. and love matt littleston so there we go um it's not a uh a rotating whodunit
and also on that um note uh from christoph christoph has emailed him and he says hi guys
a long time listener using um off-brand jade and tag batteries jade and tag i haven't heard of them
before on the
topic of fictional works with different endings that luke brought up in the recent knives out
discussion i'm afraid to say that's not a novel idea ayn rand yes i know already did it in a 1934
play night of january the 16th allowing the audience to act as the jury and determining
the defendant as guilty or innocent and a more recent example of a similar approach is 2016's movie The Verdict,
based on a play that deals with the ethics
of preventing a potential terrorist attack
by shooting down a captured plane.
If you haven't seen it, go and seek it out.
It's exceptional.
My personal favourite, though, has to be 1985's Clue,
as it sits firmly on the throne at the intersection of camp,
board game-based movie,
a movie with several different endings.
It's great fun.
Greetings from a German train.
Keep up the good work and all the best, Christoph.
Fun!
I hope Christoph's Jaden Tag battery
has got him through that train journey alright.
Speaking of Knives Out,
I actually went to see another film this weekend.
I went to go see 1917.
Okay, yes, good.
I thought it was bloody good.
Apparently, they had a real problem with
filming because the
vicar from Fleabag
could not light a
...
Oh, Andrew.
Could not...
Andrew Scott, is it?
Andrew Scott.
He'd fuck up the
light a bit every time.
At some point during
the thing, obviously,
it's all big chunks
of filming.
He's got a brilliant
cameo in it.
Yeah.
Really good.
Oh, so that's what
you mean, because of
the way they shoot it yeah should i
explain that for people
who don't know it's
basically made out like
it's done all in one
shot but of course
there's moments when
they cross over people
and yeah and it and it
kind of tricks it but
it does give it a really
good impression of it's
you almost get you know
i think when you're
watching films when the
scenes change you go
from a chaotic scene to
a quiet scene you kind
of relax a little bit
yeah this does
a really good job
of keeping you
on edge all the time
and yeah
Andrew Scott's
in the trenches
at a certain point
and he's like
I don't know
what rank he is
but he's a higher rank
than the other guys
and he's talking
about what to do
and he does that
he's a very kind of
I know this is
a pretty obvious thing
to say
but he's a very
kind of watchable person.
Yeah.
He brings a lot to every role he does.
When he played,
who's the baddie in Sherlock Holmes?
Moriarty.
He plays Moriarty, didn't he?
And he was very,
he was very good at that.
He'd be a good Bond villain, I think.
I think some actors,
yeah, he must be in the frame.
If he's not already been in a Bond film,
he'll be in the frame definitely.
But yeah, I think some actors just bring so much presence to a role. he must be in the frame if he's not already been in a Bond film he'll be in the frame definitely but yeah
I think some actors
just bring so much
presence to a role
and you just sort of
think star
you can't buy that
star
star
absolutely star quality
1917 is centered
around these two guys
mostly
but what it does
is it brings in
amazing big name cameos
so Benedict Cumberbatch
is in it
Andrew Scott's in it
the kid who played
Robb Stark
in Game of Thrones is in it oh big cameo it the kid who played Robb Stark in Game of Thrones
is in it
oh big cameo
he's a big actor
I can't remember his
surname
Richard someone
and I thought
he did a really good job
of getting across
the chaos of war
because when you
I find too often
I have no experience
with the armed forces
but when I
watch a film
about some kind of war
or some kind of armed forces
you think it's too obvious too clean everything seems to be like channel command everything's clean and i
don't imagine war to be like that yeah whereas this film is very chaotic which i think is makes
it kind of more realistic yeah it's a brilliant movie now i'll definitely recommend it very very
good cool five stars yeah 10 on 10 let's make love uh let's get out of here peter we're back
