Rivals Cast | Friendship Test

Read through?

No. Right, good.

I met you at a,

we were doing a- I was 19.

PA and- Yeah.

Yeah. I was 19.

You were there with the Skins crowd.

I was at the Inbetweeners crowd

and we were at this club doing like you waving

at people, knowing it back in the day.

Student unions. Yeah.

And yeah, that's where I met you.

I was like, Oh my god, it's-

I think I sat on your knee.

I think I was-

That does not sound like you.

That can't be right. Can it?

I think I sat on your knee.

I think I told all my friends that I'd sat on your knee.

Oh, that's nice.

Thank you. Same to same.

I remember when I first met you,

we were at week fitting. Yes!

Yeah.

And somewhere like Enfield or something.

Yes, yes, yes, and they were putting those,

and do you remember Jill kept on grasping.

She was putting me in like, these hide weeks.

And she was like, No, awful, awful.

It was literally- [everyone cross-talking]

From behind the fridge.

And they just sort of plump them on to start with,

didn't they? Yeah.

And then they got it.

Then they really found it. I met you

at the readthrough at day one.

And we were introduced, weren't we?

They were like, Fred, Fred.

This is your wife Valerie.

Yes. And then we sort

of had a little nervous cuddle.

We were like- Nervous cuddle.

And then you sat opposite me

and then you started to speak like Valerie.

And I was like, Wow. Yeah.

[beeps] Hell,

is that the same person I just met?

And Catherine,

we met at the Olivia's and you asked me to do a video

for your nanny. Yeah.

Your nanny? [everyone cross-talking]

Yeah.

Just brilliant first impressions, like-

Yeah. Yeah.

The maintain to this day,

just a gorgeous bunch of properly lovely, funny people.

I love this four ball.

We've never been put together like-

We've never been put together

but we're actually really good friends.

The four of us. We're actually,

we really, really are.

We definitely did. But it's funny

'cause when you're on that set

and nobody's seen it yet, you're like,

and you're all looking around at each other

and the colors and you know-

Shoulder pads. Yeah.

People got gonna either love this or really hate.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

At the time, you just don't know.

It's a 10 month job, which is a long stint to do anything.

And I thought by the end we'd be exhausted on our hands

and knees and sort of in the, you know, nicest way.

I want to probably see the back end of it.

And then I remember finishing

and having the worst sort of, I felt like heartache.

I felt like I'd finished summer camp and I'd fallen in love

and I felt like heartbroken.

The line Monica says, which is in the trailer.

Which is, I'll probably get wrong.

[everyone cross-talking]

Don't ask me again. I have found it so moving

when she said- [everyone laughs]

Bla, bla, bla, bla. Bla, bla, bla.

But it's something about winning,

not wanting to win or you lose, what was it?

Don't. For someone

that wants to win all the time or something.

You make it very easy to be-

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Something like, it's a brilliant, it's-

I love that line. I got one for Luca.

Go on. Well,

it's not actually a line,

but the way Luca enters season one is-

Oh, the wall. The wall through the bar

with the corkscrew.

I was like, You [beeps], it's so cool and so sexy.

And then his entrance in season two as like dialed down

that right up, I was like, Hello, Daniel Craig,

Ollie started it. Oh my God.

Yeah.

There is one. We're not allowed

to say what it's called. Yeah, no,

we're not allowed to say what it's called.

But it's a massive group chat.

'cause obviously it's some massive cast,

so it's popping off a lot of the time.

I did retire as admin Because it got too much.

The audience is too-

Wicked job and being open. Text me going,

Oh, can you add, can you add like this is the group?

I'm like, Dude. Okay. I've got two kids.

[everyone cross-talking] So, but it was,

it's quite active.

It's very active.

We just still- Cut off every day.

Every day, every day. My life mission

is to make Claire laugh.

Because Claire and Monica is so kind of,

you know, she's like that.

And I just loved her.

Like, I stroke you quite a lot, don't I?

It's as if she's not on camera.

You were doing some dancing at Fair series

to try and make a go- The audacity

of what she does on camera.

Honestly- Every time.

She does some drunk dancing that I watch on a monitor.

This series really that I was crying last.

She's let's you loose a little bit, don't you?

I've got a very beautiful, double breasted,

navy blue Armani suit.

It's 80s. and And it is

from the 80s archive.

I think they were quite reluctant

to give them to us at one point,

but I think Ray and a couple of his team managed

to sort of twist some arms. I've got

like a few novelty jumpers if you wanna borrow them.

Yeah. The one has a dog-

I love your little Pringle one.

That's a good one. There's a ball scene.

And it was beautifully made by the costume team.

Silver dress to the floor and gloves and yeah,

I felt like- Oh yes,

I love that. Pregnant princess.

I wore a beautiful dress and that was fun.

And I got to design it with the designer,

the ray, the designer.

And that was really cool. Have to ride any horses

or anything, so I can't really complain,

but there's like a dinner party scene

and it's all kind of done in one go.

That physically was very hard

'cause I had a terrible fall.

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!

Riding was our book. We talked

about the saddle sour- Yeah.

I've discovered steroid cream in tears.

[everyone cross-talking]

It wasn't open wound.

Yes, but you know what, so that was hard.

I dunno if that'll put you off or not,

but no, no, no, no.

Yeah, you sure? Probably it's nice,

isn't it?

Saddles sour. Yeah. It was.

Well, so that was odd. Open wound.

We had a couple of night shows

that were pretty difficult as well.

Yeah. Really cold.

But I mean, for me it was-

It was tricky for you?

What was tricky for you?

Do you feel like? I just feel

like my costumes are quite, you know,

they're quite difficult to wear.

Touchy. Yeah.

They're really tight.

Like, everything's so tight.

Like everything is slightly too small for me,

which just pretty cuts in.

So yeah, I'm always wearing massive spanks,

which are just uncomfortable.

Terrible shoes, which are uncomfortable.

Catherine.

Well, 'cause what's been strenuous for you?

I've find it quite hard to type.

I've done a course.

You wouldn't know it from the footage that's in the shows.

It's really bad actually. I mean, I'm literally-

You dread the type and stuff.

I feel like it made me nervous about it.

Because I feel I'm letting them down.
