(This man is too damn nice!)
Its a thrill for me for people to realize sometimes what you see isnt what you get on television.
People can be old-school comedians and be able to do different things if given the chance.
Im so glad that the show gave me a chance to go outside the box.
Shes not Darth Vader.
There are moments where youre like,Aw, bless her, alright.
It makes it like a theater company rather than a television show.
Having come from theater like I did, you dont get into it for fame and fortune.
You get into it because you want to play great characters.
Youre a pack animal, andTed Lassowas a proper pack.
Jason just laughed that off, and then I becamemoresweary.
I wasnt any Mary Poppins.
Did this testosterone-y football culture inform or influence how you wanted to portray Rebecca?Kind of.
She was the wife of the owner and of course she would spend a lot of time there.
And with that, she picked up a lot from being from Rupert.
Its so awful what she was trying to do with him.
That couldve been the ultimate straw that broke the camels back for him, but it wasnt.
His marriage is broken down, hes not seeing his son, the team has been relegated.
And the woman who has been absolutely lovely to your face is actually a monster?
Its an utter shit sandwich.
When he said that line, thats genuinely Hannah Waddingham shedding a tear.
Jason knows it, that bugger.
It wasnt in the script.
That was a very real tear.
At one point I asked Jason, Are you cool if I try a tear?
Shes being sucked in to Ted, but she cant allow herself to.
I do think Rebecca likes him very early on, and that gets in the way.
She didnt think her plan through.
Think of that moment outside of the karaoke club.
Thinking about the scene puts a lump in my heart.
She realizes that theyre each others saviors.
Can you tell me about those daily biscuits?
I did not enjoy every mouthful.
I wish they wereactualbiscuits.
I have no idea who made them!
But no, not for me.
Who would be the dream?Weve got to get Ronaldo.
Id love to see Ronaldo antagonize Jamie Tartt and give him a run for his money at some point.
Ill always have a soft spot for him because he was the naughty boy of the league.
Id just go for the thighs.
Id sit there thinking which players had the best thighs.
Id be on my knees praying on the ground she walks on.
