00:00How does it feel being back in Burnley to launch the premiere today?

00:02Oh it's absolutely fantastic, we couldn't have the premiere anywhere else,

00:05particularly after doing the first one here in Burnley as well,

00:08why would you want to do it anywhere else as well?

00:10And how was it playing Dave again?

00:12It was like slipping back into the comfiest pair of pyjamas,

00:16and it's funny to be playing the same part again,

00:20often you do that in a fictional world,

00:22but to be playing a real life character twice, I haven't done it before,

00:27so it's funny obviously refreshing yourself with the accent,

00:30refreshing yourself with the behaviour,

00:31but also remembering that it's sort of as much me as it is Dave as well,

00:36and to build the story as well.

00:38Did you get a warm welcome in Burnley?

00:40No, no never, no absolutely we didn't,

00:43and I think people recognised the fact that

00:48we portrayed the city in a positive light in the first film,

00:53and that it obviously brought a fair bit of attention as well

00:56to the people and to the place,

00:59and so yeah I think wherever we went people were obviously interested,

01:04they obviously knew what we were doing,

01:06whereas we were sort of able to go under the radar the first time around,

01:10and so yeah wherever we went there was a smile and a thumbs up.

01:14And have you enjoyed being in North East Lancashire?

01:16Absolutely, I mean I've done a bit of filming in the North West over the years,

01:20and every time it's so, and my dad was originally from Wigan,

01:23so the last time I was up here I was able to go back to where he was born,

01:28and see where he grew up, which I'd never done before,

01:30so yeah there's a family connection with the place as well.

01:34And what can people expect from this film?

01:36Well I think similar to the first film,

01:38that sense of, you know, what's inspirational about it,

01:43I think why it chimed with people is the fact that

01:46it's about people sticking up for each other,

01:49and remembering that people are individuals,

01:52communities are built with individuals and people,

01:55rather than institutions and corporations,

01:58and to try and remember that,

01:59and to try and remember the human connection that we all crave.
