00:00Chris, you must be excited to be launching the new film here in Burnley.

00:03Yeah, I'm just so, so happy.

00:06We are like this, obviously, the second time we've been back here

00:09at the screen of film, and I just love Burnley, love the people of Burnley.

00:13So they've just been so instrumental in making this film and the warmth

00:18in which they kind of make whenever we've been on locations that it's just

00:22very important for us as a crew and Netflix to bring it back to Burnley.

00:26So this is the first screen and tonight I'm slightly terrified by it,

00:29but it's the first time anyone's seen it tonight.

00:31So, yeah, very terrified.

00:32And tell us a little bit about the locations in the film.

00:35Where will people recognize?

00:37Do you know what we did mainly on this one?

00:40It was and it was really great with Dave on this one.

00:43We had to make sure that we used a lot more locations in Burnley.

00:47So obviously you've got the football stadium.

00:49We use a lot of the high street and a lot more interiors here.

00:53We used local pubs.

00:55So everything which might not have been in the first or the second film,

00:58we've set a lot more here, which is great.

01:00And as I say, all the people have just been amazing on the location.

01:03So, yeah, very good. Very exciting.

01:05What have you thought of East Lancashire when you've been filming it?

01:07I've loved it. I live here.

01:09Honestly, you know, like

01:12going back to the first Bank of Dave, I'm obviously from the north myself,

01:15and I just wanted to make something that represented the north

01:19how I always see it.

01:20I might say the same thing, but I just it was one of those where it's so

01:23it's such a warm place, the north and the people are warm.

01:27So we wanted to make sure that that was the case making it, you know,

01:31that that came across when making this film.

01:33But yeah, I love the place. Love it.

01:35What can people expect from this film?

01:38Do you know what?

01:38I just hope that they enjoy it as much as people seem to enjoy the first one.

01:43You know, it's it's a feel good story in kind of dark times.

01:47And it's just about caring for people and looking after people.

01:51And yeah, I just I just hope it feels a bit bigger.

01:54And yeah, people enjoy it as much as I did making it.
