1. SOUNDBITE (English) Owen Cooper and Christine Tremarco, actors, and Stephen Graham, co-creator/co-writer/actor:
Cooper: "I didn't know how I was going to learn the script because Phil (Barantini, director) said it's going to be done in one take. So I thought he was on about, like, one scene or, like, one part of the episode, but he said all four. So at first I thought I was never going to be able to do it, but then luckily, episode three, I just grafted the script and learned it. So yeah, I got yeah, so I did it, yeah."
Tremarco: "That's amazing to turn up first day of rehearsals completely off book."
Graham: "And on top of that, you know, he'd never done any acting before at all - none, nothing - and he turns up off book and just absolutely smashed it. He's a unique talent."
Tremarco: "Yeah."
Graham: "He's a very unique talent, he really is, honestly. I think he's a generational talent, personally."
