00:00You've got such good vocabulary. I love it. Your description.
00:04You're like the higgy-hagging the skullduggery.
00:06We're literally going to get arrested because we're in Australia.
00:09Good lord. We'll end on that disgraceful note.
00:12Usually when I meet couples, it's not happening.
00:15We're not a couple.
00:16How do you work with my tall brother?
00:19What are we looking for?
00:20Three-man team wearing animal masks.
00:23Sounds thrilling.
00:24Guys, hit point, congratulations.
00:26I've seen the first couple of episodes,
00:27and we're very good at police procedural stuff in this country,
00:31but usually it's quite dark and heavy,
00:35whereas this is very light in moments and it's quite fun.
00:40They deal with some light-hearted stuff, but it feels...
00:42It's not a comedy, but there's a lot more lightness to it.
00:45For sure.
00:45How would you describe it, initiate people into the show?
00:49I would say exactly like that.
00:50It's definitely light-hearted.
00:52It's like a...
00:53In moments, isn't it?
00:54In moments.
00:55I was going to say it's an easy watch, but actually it's not...
00:57I thought it would be, but then I watched some of it last night,
01:00and yeah, it's not an easy watch in a good way.
01:03So I would say that hit point is like a high-octane police drama,
01:11solving... following two detectives who have this little frisson with one another,
01:15navigating crime in London, and there's like comedic elements to it as well.
01:21Yeah, you're kind of at the heart of it.
01:23You've got this almost like will-they-won't-they relationship of these two mates
01:27just sat in a car, shooting the breeze, just like all of us do
01:31when we're just hanging out with our friends,
01:33against this backdrop of a kind of like high-stakes, high-octane heist.
01:37And it kind of creates this almost genre of one.
01:40It's got its own unique style.
01:42And like you say, I don't think it's like any other police show on TV.
01:46It feels fresh and new with this real colourful cast of characters,
01:51whether they're in one scene or every scene,
01:53it just feels like a rich backdrop to this kind of twisty story.
01:59And a little bit. There's some skullduggery.
02:02I just wanted to use that word.
02:03That's a great word.
02:05You can take it.
02:06Use it for your next interview.
02:07There's a little bit of skullduggery.
02:08What does it mean?
02:09Skullduggery meaning like underhand business,
02:11people doing things behind the scenes that you're not being forthcoming.
02:17I don't want to give too much away,
02:18but obviously there's stuff happening between you guys
02:20where certain things are being hidden from each other.
02:24Skullduggery is a great word.
02:26Do you think we're missing a bit of this middle ground now then?
02:30Because it feels like we have been.
02:31The kind of shows that were made years ago,
02:34the kind of like the Sweeney's and Miami Vice
02:38and those kind of things that would use hard topics,
02:41but there was a kind of a twinkle and a wink.
02:44I think so.
02:44It's nice, isn't it?
02:45Just to have something a bit sort of,
02:48there's lightness to it.
02:49Don't get me wrong.
02:50There are some quite shocking moments in it,
02:52but it is nice to just have the lightness
02:55of something to be able to sit there and escape within it
02:59without coming out traumatised.
03:02Yeah.
03:03You've got that kind of like, you know,
03:04the sort of high-octane, high-stakes, adrenaline-fuelled story,
03:08but you're spending time with fun people that you want to hang out with
03:12that you go, oh, I could chat to them in the pub.
03:15That's just like me with my mates.
03:17And I think that that's quite, you know, I think as an audience,
03:21you feel like you're part of a little gang at the same time,
03:26which, yeah, I think really makes it stand out.
03:28I think you guys are a lot more relatable than you usually get in these shows.
03:31Everyone in these shows are usually, especially British ones,
03:33are like very haunted characters.
03:36Haunted.
03:37Yeah.
03:37You've got such good vocabulary.
03:39I love it.
03:40Your description is great.
03:41Because I feel haunted by the World Cup at the moment.
03:44Because of the skullduggery of the Argentinians.
03:46The skullduggery.
03:47The higgy-hagging of the skullduggery.
03:48But yeah, like everyone's usually kind of haunted.
03:50It's kind of heavy.
03:51Whereas you guys are very relatable.
03:52You do seem like normal people who you actually meet in real life,
03:55which I suppose in a way is closer to actual coppers you'd actually meet.
04:00Yeah, because everyone's a normal-
04:01Coppers are people too.
04:03Coppers are people too.
04:03Yeah, coppers are people too.
04:04If we need to get anything across with this,
04:05just coppers are people too.
04:07You guys have been in some incredible, like, British dramas,
04:10like Slow Horses, like Top Boy.
04:12What is it about British dramas that you think we do so well?
04:15Just cast great actors in it, don't they?
04:17Yeah, that's it.
04:17You know, that's the main strong point of it.
04:18We make stars, man.
04:21Yeah, I just think that,
04:23because people internationally, people love a cop drama, don't they?
04:28They go mad for it.
04:30I think some of the humour, when you reference Slow Horses as well.
04:34British humour is a niche.
04:37Yeah.
04:37Like an element of cynicism.
04:39Yeah.
04:40Misery.
04:41Misery.
04:41Yeah, it's that like Schadenfreude thing, isn't it?
04:44We've all got these words going on.
04:46There you go.
04:47We're playing the Vogue Camp game.
04:48I've been thinking about that.
04:50Your pens and lentils are.
04:53The show is made for UK TV.
04:56You and Dave, brand new channel.
04:58It's their first big commission.
04:59How exciting is it to be involved in something?
05:02Something new.
05:03Yeah, something brand new.
05:05They're rolling the dice with you guys.
05:07You're the face of it.
05:08I know.
05:08God, let's hope it goes well.
05:11We're lucky, aren't we?
05:13We're lucky.
05:13Exactly.
05:14We've got great, you know, Howard Overman, just such a brilliant writer.
05:17Great production team.
05:18And it's just, it's just feel fortunate to have that kind of backing from the channel that
05:23want to do something different.
05:25Because what everyone generally tries to do is, can we just do what they did?
05:28That successful thing.
05:30We'll just do our own version of it.
05:31Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:31And you're always chasing.
05:32You're never always going to be, you know, pale in comparison.
05:35Whereas I think being bold and hitting out and doing something a bit different.
05:40Original, yeah.
05:40Is, you know, how else are you going to get people to take notice?
05:43So hopefully we do them proud.
05:45And my last point, I was very excited in this to see a couple of old favourites.
05:49Mine, Peter Serafinowicz, who I absolutely love.
05:52You should go watch Look Around You that he did way years ago, like an oddball kind of comment.
05:57So good.
05:59With a very convincing Scouts accent.
06:01He's from Liverpool.
06:01He's from Liverpool.
06:02But like, it doesn't sound like that normally though.
06:04That's not his normal voice.
06:05He's softened.
06:06It's a twang.
06:07It's there.
06:08But yeah, he's from Liverpool, yeah.
06:10And Brendan Coyle in a very different character than he is in Downton.
06:14How fun was it to play around in the sandbox with those guys?
06:18We're literally going to get like, arrested because we're in Australia.
06:21We both be in love with Peter.
06:22We love Peter so much.
06:25We're obsessed with him.
06:26He's such a positive, you know, kind of energy.
06:31He brings such a positive energy to set.
06:34He just feels like every day is a gift.
06:39That feels like his attitude to the world.
06:42And he's a gift.
06:43Yeah, he really is.
06:44He's a gift to us.
06:44It's good to the Harry Potter universe next as well.
06:46He's playing Peeves.
06:47Is he?
06:49Did Rick Mayle do that and it got cut out?
06:51And then it got cut out, yeah.
06:52Excellent knowledge there.
06:53I've never seen Harry Potter.
06:55I know that.
06:56Good lord.
06:57We'll end on that disgraceful note.
07:00You've not seen Harry Potter.
07:01You've seen White Chicks.
07:03Good lord.
07:04Yeah, all the classics.
07:05I'm going to go out and have a cold shower after that.
07:09What a bombshell.
07:11Congratulations on this guys.
07:12Really enjoyed the first couple of episodes.
07:13Thank you very much.
07:13I look forward to seeing some more and hopefully we'll catch you down the line.
07:16As災
