David Mitchell | Carpool

You can't feel anything, you know there are two million people dying of hunger, you go, you can't, you don't feel two million, you don't feel even once what it feels like to really feel it, you should have lunch now, much less two million times as much. what does it feel like for you know to see all your friends and family yeah I haven't you know it's impossible to empathize with that kind of pain but if there's obviously a friend of yours who is starving death then people would say oh God, it's going to be upset, you know me, I should buy Steve a sandwich, you definitely know that, and it's taking Stevis to diva sound level and that's why you know they're going to write you a letter and all this other stuff now has a lot of value. great what was it for you Red Nose Day Center yes, yes, I am and it's a building that I hit, they won't have to sell it, because no, it's a, it's a Like our studio, there are so many studios that, in Actually, yeah, they're not using the damn studio judges.

Yes, they will say that if they got rid of him there, I don't believe it. I don't know, but aren't there many other studios like that in London that aren't that size? That's the place you have to go. I mean, I've seen shells for years working at the BBC, you know, I went, why not? We do it there, yes, it would have been very useful. I could walk to work. I mean, I basically saw you. I think the first time I properly paused, even though I was wearing it, was if they were people. I mean, did you do a peep show before Mitchell and Webb?

Yeah, honey, basically what we did when Rob and I worked together for years and we met at universities, we spent several years developing China stuff, you know, we lived and we got and we're doing writers, writers, well and probably a little strange in television. when we did it, it's a national comedy nation, we did a BBC two sketch show called Bruiser which aired in the middle of the night but you know which one is going to write but not brilliantly and then a peep show happened , basically a Peep Show and we got The radio series are now four at the same time and that's where you have a missionary work that was really restarting on the radio.

Yeah, I think I'd probably seen eight episodes of that in a couple of years, assuming you'd written. Yes, it was very common for a lot of people a scene and what kind of art it is for us because we started what we wanted to be acting as usual, but we had imagined that we made money writing before we made money as performers and I imagined that we would break up that way, so it was strange that what most people knew initially was what we acted but didn't write, yeah, but it was a tie, it was written for us by Sam Pain and Jesse.

Armstrong, yes, friends of ours who we worked with before, and they are brilliant at what you know, as a writer I am very aware of how much a comedy show depends on that and that is the key skill of the other artists I am just in a high position when I was saying that people ask me about the red dwarf, I mean the main reason I stuck with it was when there were many times where it was under the rubber, but I was pretty determined to do it. I'll never rent again or whatever you know, it melted my brains, yeah, but writing those two writers when they were Robin Doug and Doug have extraordinary skill when the lines are really good, you feel like a five dollar run when we read for first time this was an explosion. that's how it has to be so it has to be is a but I think um no um but I think it's a yes so I mean that's strictly written that PBJ yeah yeah we've added the odd yes joke in the said the rehearsal scenario and that's living the day that a lot of people asked because in some ways it feels like it has that style of point of view, in some ways it feels like it's right, that's here, it feels like If it could be composed, I just bet you can.

Not only yes, and you can't shoot in that style if you change something, you need so much coverage, yes, the day you have to stick to what's in the script, well, people want, people want, whether we're going to do it watch through a computer or on a DVD or whatever so that people want to watch television, yes, and that's not going to change, but that's just to worry about the transition period and how, if advertisers don't television advertising, how do they do it? Television gets paid, yes, but that's why thank God we have a BBC that can do things like go on, yes, with this and can do things like, play without worrying, yes, obviously this is something that makes people angry. even more to the Daily Mail. kina to destroy it by making your own television is yes, obviously, I'm serious, that's what it is, right?

But it's still a culture shock for me in the sense that for me a television is something where you need 35 people, yes. and with all their skills and technology and if there is not someone there with a padded jacket and a clipboard, yes, underwear, I am exactly, we don't need anything to be many fans, yes, and you know, and I think there are certainly a lot television. I can't do it without that, the fear for me is that there would be fewer suitable programs because of the ability to let you know cheap things easily and that doesn't mean that cheap things shouldn't be done easily, but they shouldn't.

What happens is it means we can't have, you know, you can't have crack, you have to have Cranford, that's what I'm saying and you can't have Cranford on your phone, no you can't, I'm just wondering if I do. Sorry, yeah, right in some pub, sorry, I kind of did that. I should have told you to turn right earlier. I just turn it on. He got it into my head that you knew where you were going and a vague geographic process of where we're going. albums and I'm probably very impressed that two gentlemen from such different generations can agree on so many things.

Well, thank you very much, thank you, yes, for sharing the journey, yes, with something from your suit box. Thank you very much today. I think you will be. I think you'll still be number one, I'll be number eight for now, right? Yeah, well, that's good, yeah, yeah, I shouldn't. I was trying to get repetitive like that because that's how it was. Whatever you know will end, so this too shall pass. I thought this would be like the sound. There is a prequel. Just remember to have it taking the antenna from the room I have to pass II Moses College every other way
