00:00Didn't you injure yourself? I'm, I'm 52, about to be 53, and I, unlike you, I feel 75.

00:08But I like it, it's where I'm meant to be. I've got a heavy dog duvet with a crossword.

00:13That's not code, I, I like passwords. So, I, I always do my back in, because I've never exercised.

00:20I don't have any kind of coma. I can't lift a pencil. One of those grapes, I'd be like,

00:26bring it to me. I'm like weak, frail, live on hula hoops. I'm in the Highlands, filming for

00:34Traitors, and there's quite a lot of standing around. I'm not complaining, but I'm standing,

00:38the, it's uneven floor, you know what I mean? If you're 52, you get, and I'm wearing a Wellington,

00:43my back went, and I was like, I'm so sorry, and I begged Gemma, who's lovely, head of production,

00:48she's in charge. I was like, Gemma, I beg of you, could you get, that anyone could get a physio,

00:52because I see a physio in London, we're in the middle of nowhere, like, we're an hour from,

00:56you can't change the flavour of gum you're having, you know what I mean? You commit,

01:01at the beginning, I was like, is there any way? No, it's juicy fruit, that's what you meant.

01:06And he said, so, Gemma was so sweet, she was like, look, we have found you a physio,

01:11don't do your, like, chatty thing, like, could you not ask too many questions? I was like,

01:15I mean, I am annoying, right? So, I was like, normally, like, I was like, okay, so the next day,

01:21a man arrives, and starts working on my back, he's sort of like, come on, tackle out, I don't think

01:26he uses those words, but he was like, no problem, and I was, and starts working on my back, and I

01:33was like, I know I can't be too chatty, because he hasn't seen the trailer, like, maybe he just

01:37doesn't, but after eight minutes, I'm like, oh, thank you so much, like, do you live nearby,

01:43or whatever? And he said that they told one not to tell you, and I said, they told you not to tell

01:47me what? And he went, you're the first human I've touched in 18 months. So, I went, one more time,

02:01and he said, I'm a vet, and I'm an animal physio.

02:06And I said, okay, he was also, by the way, excellent, and I said, what have you, what, like, so, just,

02:23you know, I've never met an animal. I said, what have you done today? And he went, two shy horses,

02:27miniature dash out, and then he said, but a skeleton is a skeleton. He went, oh, should we

02:34continue? I went, on you go. He was majestic. He came again, because I was obsessed by his stories.

02:41I said, what have you done today? He went, a reluctant boxer.
