I've got crabs.
So I'm going to give you a bad description of some of your projects as well as the rest of the cast
and you've got to guess what projects I'm talking about.
Oh, I love a game.
Do you want to compete or do you want to move together right now?
I like moving together.
Okay, we'll do that.
Okay.
It's true though, our dynamic is not competitive in the film.
No.
If anything, it's like...
What, we need to give people some range?
If anything, we're codependent.
Yes, we are.
He's got crabs.
I've got crabs.
We've all got crabs.
We've got crabs.
So he's got crabs.
We've all got crabs.
It's fine.
It's Doctor Strange.
Doctor Strange.
Yeah.
Doctor Strange.
Barbie.
Yes.
Wow.
Easy.
I'd never have got it until you said plastic.
Barbie.
There you go.
Brabby.
Brabby is...
I'm sure you saw it.
It was the early cuts.
It's giving brab.
Really British.
Most of them can't get more British than this.
Oh, Doctor Who.
Doctor Strange.
Doctor.
Doctor Who.
Jamie Demetriou of the British.
Oh, shooty.
Doctor Who.
Oh, God.
I never think of Doctor Who as an alien.
The sexy kind.
The sexy kind of alien.
You.
Doctor.
It's more like Doctor Who.
I'm going to pay you a lot of money for that.
Fleabag.
Olivia Colman.
Fleabag.
Yeah.
And Jamie.
Sorry, Jamie.
Of course.
Tooth.
Tooth man.
Exactly.
Tooth man.
That's exactly how it was written.
Tooth man.
To the rescue.
Fleabag.
Yes.
I'm saying it.
Is it you?
Yes, it is.
You knew it right away.
You knew it.
But you were excited.
I think you were raring for that one.
And I saw Fleabag and I remember you and it was before I met you.
Well, it's also Olivia, famously.
Well, yes, of course.
You know, it's nice that we're friends now.
Kate McKinnon?
No, is it Zoe and Night Bitch?
No, they don't rest on that floor.
It's a great film.
Glow.
Yes, they're all good.
Glow.
Also a good description.
I mean, yeah.
That's a good description.
It's pretty good.
I say bad, but I actually worked on these.
They're actually really good.
I actually worked on these.
Oh, Glow.
She's in Glow.
Christ, there's another reason to watch it.
Okay.
I've never seen Glow.
I will now.
Oh, God.
So, is it Zoe?
Yes.
And Jamie?
Yes.
Okay.
Don't know what it is.
One, two, three.
Be off.
It's not about scoring points.
Well, I...
Look, I know what I know and I want to say what I know.
What did I know?
After Party, I think, with Zoe.
Yes.
And Jamie.
And...
Jamie.
I'm actually a huge fan of Jamie.
What does that mean?
Jamie.
Just on the record.
Literally see me bullied Jamie throughout the whole...
No, on camera.
Not on camera.
I'll send him flowers and smiles.
I actually heard he's allergic to flowers.
Does it smell good?
Yeah.
He's allergic to flowers.
My eyes are red.
Maybe it's on one.
We'll send him some chocolates.
It's called The After Party.
Yeah, it's called The After Party.
I've got to watch that.
That sounds great.
It's really good, actually.
Okay.
Yeah, it's fire, innit?
Love you in The After Party.
No.
Wait.
No, no.
Oh, Andy.
No?
Yeah.
No?
I can let you swear this, I know.
Oh, no.
Is it you?
Yeah.
Sure.
Ah.
Sherlock.
It is.
Oh, wow.
Oh.
Sherlock.
That's a really good description.
Sorry.
Actually, I thought I nailed that one.
Thank you.
That's very good.
Very, very good.
He's a violinist?
Yeah.
How did you know if you didn't look?
Oh, the crime scenes.
The crime scenes.
Yes.
That must have been it.
But maybe I'm just a prophet.
I don't know.
I believe it.
Wow.
Okay.
I actually have to go.
Sorry.
It's Ghostbusters.
Yes.
It's the Ghostbusters.
So I was distracted because there was a suggestion that there was a number thrown up in the corner
that I thought was a correction.
Oh, you thought it was a clue?
Oh, oh.
Yeah.
There are no clues in this room.
I just wanted to hear the description.
That's Death of a Unicorn.
Exactly.
Death of a Unicorn.
Yes.
Death of a Unicorn.
That's cool.
Sorry.
We're really crap at this, aren't we?
I'm so sorry.
It was really in there, though.
Soon.
It was in there, yeah.
Well, don't belittle me for-
Oh, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Actually, I'm sorry.
You got that one right out of the bag.
Thank you.
It was so obvious that it actually made it more of a mystery.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm willing to believe that she'd-
Yeah.
The double bluff.
Yeah.
Okay.
Stella Streets?
No.
It's a really popular TV show.
SNL.
SNL?
Yes.
Kate.
Oh.
And Andy.
Kate and Andy.
Right.
SNL.
That's funny that you got that one.
That is funny.
SNL?
Yes.
Oh, SNL.
That's part of it.
Kate and Andy.
It's a large part of it, I suppose.
But it's only been the cold opens, then, per se.
Anyway, sorry.
I'm being a little bit pernickety there because I didn't guess it.
That's completely fine.
That's my defense.
The Favourite.
The F***ing Brown.
Oh, go on.
The Favourite.
The Favourite?
Yeah.
Clifford the Big Red Dog.
No.
The Premise.
Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Oh, right.
Yeah.
This is a very clear premise and yet unclear what it is.
Oh.
Uh.
Night Pitch.
Yeah.
Oh.
Stumped.
No.
Oh, as in I'm stumped.
No.
Oh.
I don't know.
Night Pitch.
Oh.
Night Pitch.
Not a clue.
I loved that.
You were so great in that.
Thank you.
I was going to say B***h Life.
B***h Life.
I don't know why I couldn't think about women.
I was just really locked in on dog means boy.
Oh, okay.
Whale.
Right.
As in the woman turns into a b***h, not into an actual dog.
I get that.
Doctor.
What?
We've had two.
There can't be another doctor in the mix.
One more time.
I didn't mention any doctors.
I don't know why we jumped to doctors.
We've had a who and a strange.
There's no more doctors.
Okay.
Uh.
Sex Education.
Yes.
Oh, that's Sex Education?
Sex Education.
Yes.
Oh, okay.
I mean, that's like.
I feel like you could describe that in many ways, but it would have been too obvious if
I added and sex was happening.
I wonder what that could be.
I want to see that.
And the whole country is really bothered.
This country specifically.
I have no idea what it is.
The Crown.
Yeah.
Wow, great clue.
Yeah.
Oh, The Crown?
The Crown.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Who's group chug?
Oh, yes.
Fine.
Yeah, just like.
All your tea is always out there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Right, right, right, right.
It's this.
The Crown.
Jamie.
The Crown.
Oh, The Crown.
I'm sorry.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, that's just stressful.
Who was I in a traffic jam next to coming in?
No.
Your younger version.
Claire.
Claire?
Yeah.
Oh.
Did you have a chat while you were stuck in the traffic?
We did for a bit, yeah.
And then she cut us up and, yeah, she was, yeah.
That's my girl.
She's busy.
Nightmare.
I mean, what you just said stressed me out.
That was just the worst thing.
Oh, thank God I'm not a princess.
I'd be the worst princess ever in the world.
You really would, which would make you the best.
Roses?
Of course.
That's gotta be.
The Roses.
Yes.
Wow.
Oh, I didn't.
The Roses.
I ruined it.
The Roses.
You guys did quite well.
You smashed that.
You were on fire.
We weren't great.
You actually did quite well.
Really?
I think you did quite well.
Some people have done really bad.
Don't worry.
Okay.
Don't worry about it.
The film was really funny.
A laugh from top to bottom.
You were all fantastic.
Thank you.
What was your favourite part of filming?
We played this little game a couple of months later with BuzzFeed.
And Kate said, Brabby.
My favourite part of filming was honestly the friendships.
I don't know where you guys were, but it was pretty cool.
It's about the friendships you make along the way.
