How are you?

I'm very good kind.

And I love you too.

It's nice to be back.

It's been a while.

I think the last time was the world's end.

I was drunk acting for you.

Yeah, we haven't.

We haven't chatted in a while.

Certainly not since this handed, and I don't even know where to begin.

I mean, every interview that I do now begins with.

How are you?

How are you handling?

Uh, this quarantine.

How you doing?

I'm alright.

I've actually I enjoyed lock down.

To be honest, the first part of lock down remember the first wave?

It wasn't so bad.

I was in the countryside.

I was fairly like I was isolated.

I was at my house.

I was writing.

I was kind of quite.

I was nice to have an excuse when your friend you know, and usually you have to pretend that you can't come out because the kids sick or the dog is in prison or something on I I I was able to say No, I can't come out.

There's a global pandemic and I wasn't lying and I felt right there.

Okay, but here's the problem.

I did that, too.

And I like that because I'm very anti social and I like to say I'd love to be there, but there's a pandemic.

Can't make it now.

I don't know if you're having this problem.

I'm experiencing this people that I never talked to that much ever in my life.

Now say, let's hook up on zoom and talk And how do you get out of a zoom call?

You can't they know your home Thes air People I was not close to now constantly want to zoom and catch up.

There must be a conspiracy theories somewhere that states that the people behind Zoom created it.

Covert 19 to just one of the stock market killing.

Because I'm the same everyday zoom call to do that.

You know, I have to say I'm not the only one I've been thinking you of you.

Ah, lot during this quarantine during Cove it because means like this have been popping up constantly on guard.

Like it or not, you are the face of a global pandemic and madness breaking out.

How do you feel about that?

I couldn't be more proud.

To be honest, it was something I'd always hoped would happen.

You know, the funny thing is, is that that name has popped up through various, you know, through Brexit and through other, you know, the re election of the Tory party, whatever.

That's cropped up a home a lot.

And then Aziz the coronavirus began.

Thio sort of spread.

It popped up again.

But then we past the point when going to the pub was actually allowed.

So they need itself.

Became outdated quite quickly when going to the Winchester was no longer advisable.

So Nick Frost and I kind of recreated that scene from Shaun of the dead.

Well, it I called him one morning.

I was on the school run, and I said, Nick, I'm going to send you some lines Will do the thing again, But we'll make it about staying at home.

So that's fun.

YouTube.

Somewhere that was in the early stages of the pandemic when celebrity videos were cool for the for that two weeks when Yeah, Guess what?

I missed that window.

So I've been shut out of any kind of celebrities.

There was a slight window and I grew up.
