00:00Nice to see you again. I was going to wear Rivals Red but then I thought they'll think I'm mean.

00:05Lovely. Thank you. If I wore Rivals Red they would know that I was being biased, do you know what I mean?

00:10I've been so excited to see you both today. You know how much I love Rivals.

00:14Thank you. Did you ever expect people to fall in love with Freddie and Lizzie as much as they have?

00:19No, absolutely not. I think they were really sweet, lovely characters. I think Lizzie's the moral compass of the show.

00:27But no, I think there were so many outstanding performances in this.

00:31I think when the reviewers do, they fall in love with the characters really, don't they?

00:35Because we were really quite nice and kind and not fucking people over, they're warm to us.

00:42And I think it's a huge credit to the writing as well because we were very well served, I think,

00:47in terms of it being little bits in every single episode and growing beautifully.

00:52So it meant we could have lots of time off and also do some really charged scenes.

00:57It's hard to do charged scenes if you're in it all the time.

01:00So I think we had the best of both worlds, basically.

01:03But we're really excited to start filming again with everyone.

01:07Yeah, we're on the eve of the second series.

01:10So, do you know what? We start in 2023, so the next one comes out three years later.

01:15Can you believe that? I'm three years older.

01:17We need to speed it up. I'm desperate for it already.

01:20Listen, I can't wait to start saying I'm in the same boat as you. I'm really excited about it.

01:24We know very little about it, so we're going to be trying to find out tonight from the writers.

01:28We need yous to get together, not as actors, as the characters.

01:32We absolutely need it to happen, guys. Come on.

01:35But there's also something keeping us apart.

01:38When we want that.

01:40No, I know, I know. I get it.

01:42Like I said, we haven't read anything yet, so we've got a read-through coming up next month.

01:47I'm going to have a word. I'm going to have a word with you.

01:50Listen, the internet is obsessed with you right now.

01:53We're in like a new Danny Dyer era. Are you aware of this?

01:56Everybody just loves you. I don't know what's going on.

01:58You're all over my TikTok and my Instagram. It's just going from Danny Dyer.

02:03No, I'm having a good one. I've had really shit ones.

02:07So, I understand it's up and down this time.

02:10Danny's worked so hard for so long, and I think people forget, you know,

02:14when somebody succeeds in a soap, it's testament to their acting ability.

02:18There's no actor that can pull off a soap with the hours they do and the material they film

02:23without being the best, so I think it's well-deserved.

02:26I'm absolutely here for it.

02:28And are the glasses a tribute to your Harry Potter scene that you did the other day?

02:32Oh, what, on the last one laughing?

02:34How random was that? They called me and said, do you want to come in?

02:36And I was like, OK.

02:37Can I just say, I'm two weeks younger and I don't need glasses.

02:40I'm two weeks older, and I don't need glasses.

02:42Oh, shit, you are, yeah.

02:44These are my very vocals.

02:46He's degrading physically quicker than I am, but that's cool. That's fine.

02:51Well, I cannot wait. Guys, you know how much I love it. I can't wait for season two.

02:54Lots of love to you all.

02:56Thank you very much.
