00:00 Hello. Hi.
00:02 Saw you looking at me from the street.
00:05 I'm assuming you're not with anyone. Never see you with anyone.
00:12 Hi, I'm Alex from NME and today we're joined by the shining stars of new film All of Us Strangers.
00:20 It's Paul Meskell and Andrew Scott.
00:22 Shining stars, that's great. I thought you'd like that. Get a compliment in a row.
00:27 Exactly. Warmest to you.
00:30 I want to kick off with a music question because NME and music is so important to this film.
00:36 Do each of you have a favourite song choice from the film?
00:40 I think Power of Love. I know it's the anthem of the film but the ballsy-ness of Andrew Higgs put that right at the end.
00:49 It's such a hopefully iconic needle drop in cinema.
00:56 He's reinterpreted that song in a way that people go, somebody just said that since they saw the film last night they've been playing it on loop.
01:02 When you get a song that you think you know and then you have a new, a profound appreciation for it, I think that's amazing.
01:09 I do think Death of a Party and The Priddler. That's a good one.
01:13 I'm a huge Pet Shop Boys fan as well.
01:16 Peach Boys.
01:17 Huge Peach Boys fan.
01:20 He loves a Peach Boy.
01:21 I'm thinking of you.
01:22 I love the fact that Always On My Mind is on there too.
01:27 Vinyl records play quite an important part in some of the scenes. Are either of you big crate diggers?
01:33 I have one. I think it's something I would enjoy is really going out and hunting down records.
01:40 What's that?
01:42 That's going through the...
01:43 Oh right.
01:44 Was that bad miming?
01:46 How in God's name has anybody gone through that?
01:48 I just did that recently. I did that very recently trying to get through it.
01:51 Well that's what it is.
01:53 That's my miming.
01:54 That's good. Now that you've given the context.
01:56 Well this was the context.
01:57 I bet there's going to be a nice sort of coloured vinyl release for this film.
02:01 Oh yeah.
02:02 Yeah there should be.
02:03 Yeah there should be.
02:04 We're not in charge of that.
02:05 I do not think we've done enough.
02:07 Been in the film, done the marketing for the vinyl.
02:12 We've been to the Cage Range. We're exhausted here.
02:14 This is your mum and dad.
02:17 Yeah.
02:18 They died just before I was 12.
02:22 I'm trying to write about them at the moment.
02:25 Andrew I think you unwittingly inspired one of the world's biggest pop stars to write a song didn't you?
02:32 Are you talking about Billie Eilish?
02:34 Yeah. Can you tell the enemy readers about that?
02:36 Yeah so in Sherlock I had this line which is "Honey you should see me in a crown".
02:43 I said that to Benedict who was playing Sherlock obviously.
02:47 And so Billie was big into the show and then she wrote her amazing song.
02:53 That's unbelievable.
02:54 Such a great tune.
02:55 Yeah.
02:56 So yeah I think that is true.
02:59 And I think you met her for the first time recently?
03:01 Yeah we met at the Golden Globes. Yeah we had a fantastic time.
03:04 Did you chat about Sherlock at all? What did you speak to each other about?
03:07 What did we speak about? I don't know if we should tell you.
03:09 The weather.
03:11 We didn't talk about Sherlock.
03:13 So you two obviously have been in this film together. You look like you're really good pals now.
03:20 I don't know whether you know Andrew, you probably do, that Paul once dressed up as the hot priest for Halloween.
03:26 I did know that yeah.
03:27 Have you seen the pictures?
03:28 I have seen them.
03:29 Have you chatted to each other about that?
03:30 I sent him the picture. He was the first person I sent the picture to obviously.
03:35 Imagine you just like, I never sent you that picture and you just saw it. It would be weird to not message your friends.
03:41 It would be strange.
03:42 I went for you as Halloween and never told you. A bit creepy.
03:45 But of course that is not Andrew. That is a character that he has played.
03:52 Yes.
03:53 Right?
03:54 Yeah his next Halloween he should dress up as me.
03:55 Yeah.
03:56 What would you dress up as? What would you wear?
03:57 A lovely little knit.
03:58 Oh fuck him.
03:59 A lovely little knit.
04:03 Andrew what character of Paul would you dress up for Halloween?
04:06 I think probably a forecast because I have seen some pictures from the gladiator set.
04:13 Oh you have haven't you?
04:14 So I will wear some of the disgusting things I have seen from that.
04:19 Would that be weird if you had not met and Andrew had dressed up as gladiator or the other way around for hot priest?
04:26 Well when we met he would be like a psychic because when we first met you would have no idea. I did not even know that was going to happen.
04:34 Oh I knew.
04:35 You knew the minute I met him.
04:36 I thought that would be great with a shield and a big massive tiger or whatever it was.
04:41 My last question then. You might not have a good answer but I kind of love asking about this to actors who have been in supernatural things.
04:52 It is not really supernatural but it is a ghost story. Have either of you ever had any experiences that you might call supernatural?
04:59 I have yeah.
05:00 Have you?
05:01 I swear to God. There is a hotel in Sligo. I cannot remember the name. I think it is a Clarion.
05:07 I went there. I am going to tell this as quickly as possible. Me and my brother were about 12 and Dunnock was 10.
05:14 We were in this hotel. Door was propped open. We heard this whistling. I swear to God. We heard this whistling and we were watching like Spongebob movie.
05:22 We stopped for a second. The whistling got really loud. The chair that was propping the door open flew into the bedroom.
05:29 Slams shut. Me and Dunnock were screaming at the top of our lungs. My mum was in the next room. She could not hear us.
05:34 Then I was 12. Dunnock was about 10. We wake up the next morning and we find out that the hotel was an old mental asylum.
05:42 Where lots of dark stuff happened. I do not necessarily believe in ghosts but what happened in that room was weird and kind of unexplainable.
05:49 I love how the weirdest part of that from Andrew's reaction was that he was watching Spongebob.
05:55 Yeah.
05:56 It is just a fact. That is what we were watching. So get over it.
06:00 You and me.
06:03 Together.
06:05 Into the world.
