00:00I really enjoyed that, you know, the first episode and the last episode

00:03sees you both do a bit of a dance number with spoons,

00:05because I just wonder, it's so funny and so ridiculous.

00:08I wonder how many takes it'd take you to get it right.

00:11It didn't take many because we took it seriously, didn't we?

00:14We were trained.

00:16We were doing that sh** on the DL all day in our own kitchens.

00:21Yeah, we had a choreographer who videoed us self doing it.

00:25Yeah.

00:26And then I was watching that and sort of the spoon thing was slightly more difficult.

00:31Yeah.

00:32Just because they're quite dangerous spoons when you're smashing them on your fingers.

00:35You'd be surprised.

00:37And they're big spoons, you know, they're not teaspoons.

00:40So, you know, that side of it, it's trying to...

00:42And also because of sound, you're not allowed to clack them.

00:46Yeah, so they had to give us sound-free spoons.

00:51Just imagine the wonders of TV.

00:52But to be honest, we had like a week or so rehearsing.

00:56We were meant to be rehearsing for the whole show,

00:58but it ended up just us learning that dance.

01:00Yeah.

01:00Because I'd written this dance and it had to be good.

01:02And I was like, sh**, now I've got to rehearse the f*** out of it to get it good.

01:06And yeah, we got it done.

01:08It had to be almost like two adults that used to do this when they were kids.

01:11And also it couldn't be too polished and it couldn't be too...

01:13It had to be quite childlike, but at the same time visually f***ing funny.

01:19And I think, you know, we nailed it.

01:22And so we didn't have to do it that much.

01:23We didn't have time to do it that much.

01:24So, you know, it came sort of midway through the shoot as well.

01:28We didn't do it early doors.

01:30So we was f***ing ready.

01:32We was on it.

01:32We was f***ing on it.

01:33So, you know, it's an important part of the film.

01:36And also towards the end, we don't want to give nothing away.

01:38It also becomes quite integral towards the end.

01:41So, you know, we'll let the viewers know we won't do that.

01:44But it's a big old twisty number at the end.

01:47Lovely little twist.

01:49Yeah, I thought you definitely nailed it.

01:50I feel like it's like a great audition tape for Strictly, if anything.

01:53Oh, f*** that.

01:54No, we don't want to...

01:57Me and my best friend, we used to watch Strictly together.

02:00And we...

02:02Well, you know the intro of it?

02:04We used to sing to the intro tune.

02:06Wrap it up in Parma ham.

02:08Wrap it up in pork.

02:09Wrap it up in Parma ham.

02:11Let your body talk.

02:12It's just a little tidbit for you there.

02:14I prefer it.
