INTERVIEW: Ian McNeice | Bert Large

Who doesn’t love Bert Large?

What a pleasure it was to hang out with Ian. And the stories he tells… well, we could have listened for hours. 

Especially the one about how the cast found out about the new seasons that would be commissioned by ITV. To have been a fly on the wall for that moment…

It’s funny, listening back to this a week later, it’s such a mellow interview. Ian had just arrived from the airport so we wanted to be sure he could simply kick back and have a chat with us. (Thank goodness Linda had some tea tucked away at her place!) He definitely set the relaxed tone. Ian’s a pro. He knows how to do these interviews so well.

We talked about working with Joe Absolom, John Marquez, and Martin; about getting that accent just right; his hopes for the next season and so much more.

Another BIG THANK YOU to Ian for taking time out of his VERY busy visit to LA to talk to Rock the Doc. We hope to have Ian on the show again…maybe next time with Joe? How much fun would that be?! 

Enjoy the interview with Portwenn's favorite entrepreneur!

*SPOILER ALERT* There are a few references to Series 7 in this interview.

INTERVIEW: Martin Clunes & Philippa Braithwaite Clunes

With a big (BIG), huge (HUGE) first episode. 

Here’s the scene…

It was a bit of a balmy January day in Los Angeles. We tried to make normal conversation in the car on the way to our secret location but it was pointless. We could think of nothing else but 1) is this the right day and 2) will our recording equipment really work when we needed it the most. (Okay, there were other things we stressed thought about, too, but these were the only ones we could verbalize.)

We arrived and informed the hosts that we would be waiting for them near the door. 

A few minutes later -- I could see him walking down the hall directly toward us.

“Oh god,” I thought. “Here we go…”

Ladies and Gentlemen, we give you our interview with… 

Martin Clunes and Philippa Braithwaite.

We hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as we loved recording it.

A big (BIG), huge (HUGE) THANK YOU to Martin and Philippa. You honestly could not have been more pleasant, more fun to interview and hang out with. We were, as they say, quite chuffed. ;)

To LindaG who never stopped believing this was possible from day one and never stopped knocking on that door…you did it!

And thank goodness the recording equipment worked (thanks for the assist, Martin!) because we’re still not quite sure this interview actually happened…

Welcome to Series 7, everyone. Cheers!
