00:00Dig a pond. Yes. We've lost a million of them. Let's put them back. My name is Dominic West and
00:05I'm playing Morgan
00:06Henderson. My name is Pip Torrens, and I'm playing St. John Smallwood.
00:11Stop!
00:14What HBO character from any show would you marry and divorce? Do you remember The Wire, love?
00:21Yes, I remember The Wire. I've seen The Wire. Yeah, you've seen that. In The Wire, I would definitely marry
00:25Idris, and then I'd divorce her straight after!
00:30You know what? She had it coming. She did? She did. Nicely done.
00:34You could have The Sopranos. Sopranos? I was thinking of Carmella.
00:37I feel like I'm just someone you've chosen to procreate with. Would you be a good lawyer? Why or why
00:43not?
00:43I want to say yes, but I haven't got the right brain, I don't think. I think you like to
00:47think you could do the performance, but I don't think I'd be quick enough.
00:50I tend to think of things afterwards. Delicious. If you could add a word to the dictionary, what would you
00:55add?
00:56Ooh, fantabulosa. Oh, nice.
00:58Because I love Kenneth Williams. I don't know if this is in the dictionary, but I learnt the word mims.
01:04Mimzing is a bit like pootling. Do you pootle? Hmm.
01:09It just means to sort of stroll around with not much in mind. What's a skill you'd like to learn?
01:15Oh, crossword. Anyone can be taught to do the crossword. Start with the anagrams. Bottom right-hand corner.
01:21People are falling asleep all over the studio.
01:25What is your most prized possession?
01:27Oh, I know the answer to that one. It's large.
01:30It's large. It's 30 yards long. It's quite deep.
01:33It's two meters deep.
01:34Has a cubic capacity of what?
01:35God knows, but it's a huge swimming pond that I built myself.
01:39And what do you always say?
01:40The single best thing you can do for biodiversity.
01:43Dig a pond.
01:44Yes.
01:45We've lost a million of them. Let's put them back.
01:47What's something you both could debate endlessly about?
01:50Crosswords.
01:51Crosswords. Swimming ponds.
01:53Rhyming couplets.
01:54The nicest child I ever knew was Charles Augustus Fortescue.
01:57He never lost his cap at all.
01:59His stocking is always pinafore. In eating bread, he made no crumbs.
02:01He was inordinately fond of something.
02:03No, extremely fond of something. It doesn't scan otherwise.
02:05He was extremely fond of something.
02:08I taught him that.
