00:00I want to start with Kelly and Blake.
00:01I can't tell you how excited I was for your storyline.
00:06The minute it was sort of floated that there could be a lavender marriage,
00:09I was like, sign me up, that is actually my dream marriage.
00:12I never imagined I'd ever be a man taking pride in his wife.
00:18I thought we understood each other.
00:23Perfectly.
00:25It's so many of us.
00:26I mean, people keep saying it's like, this seems to be the happiest marriage in the show right now.
00:30Yeah, it really is.
00:32It's so much fun.
00:32It is.
00:32It's just such a delight.
00:34It's like these two characters that have put so much energy into performing for everybody in public,
00:39and finally, like, they get to be together.
00:41They get their own big, beautiful home, and in the privacy of their home,
00:44they're just, like, unleashed, and all of a sudden their life is full of possibility.
00:47And it's a whole new quality for the show.
00:48You don't see this kind of honest dynamic between characters.
00:50They're so open, and quite often there is no one else,
00:52so they're just kind of lounging, gossiping, and their kindred spirits.
00:55They really enjoy one another's company.
00:57It's like they married each other's best friend.
00:59Yes, yes.
00:59You said society is predictable, but it doesn't have to be.
01:05You're thinking we should offer something a little more novel?
01:09And it's, you know, what they're offering in terms of this new vision of high society,
01:13which is much more playful and ludic and spontaneous, is incredibly compelling.
01:17Yeah.
01:17You know, I love that, at the moment, in the dance party in episode one.
01:23I thought those two had called it off.
01:26They had.
01:27But I suppose on a wedding day, love was near.
01:31And you go, we've seen the balls, we've seen the codified steps.
01:34There's maximum decorum at the kind of decorous distance.
01:37And suddenly everyone was just like, moopy smooth.
01:41Yeah, it was going all big time.
01:42Yeah.
01:43And every take, you know, John Craffer, the choreographer, taught us some steps.
01:46He was like, over to you, just do what you do.
01:47And we were just playing.
01:49And it's like, I think it's a wonderful new energy for the show to see.
01:52You know, and I think there's almost a through line from that kind of party to modern day.
01:55We go, oh, I see where there's a glimpse of modernity to it.
01:58I see where this is all heading.
02:00Yes.
02:00And how they're unafraid to subvert the culture.
02:03They're naturally subversive.
02:04They are.
02:04They take a glee in subvert.
02:06They're disruptors.
02:07But it's quite purposeful disruption here, which is.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
02:10Yeah.
