ASH on the British Comedy Awards
ITV 3
22 December 2004


M = Male interviewer (no idea who he is)

W = Female interviewer (again, no idea)

T = Tony (well d’uh!)

 

 

M: We've been joined by to many people a member of the thing you were on today - Little Britain - and Buffy the Vampire slayer but to me you'll always be the coffee man.

T: Thanks for that. That just brings it ...right back. Could have been Manchild...could have been anything but no ...back to coffee.

W: Tell me what was on the table tonight cos you all looked like you were relaxing in there...

T: What was on the table?

M: Talk us through the booze

T: Warm Grolsch and warm "old tarts" (I think that's what he says!) I've never heard of that wine before but the wine was actually slightly colder than the beer.

W: How did the boys approach you to do the show in the first place? How did you cross paths?

T: They asked and when I read it, I just read a couple of sketches and thought "yeah well..." and I called my agent and I said "what do you think?" and he said "do it..do it...what have you got to lose" and I said "alright then" and went along and met the boys and they are I have to say the nicest people in the world.

W: Matt Lucas tonight was so beautiful every time the cameras went to him or they suggested the show was up for an award he was like "yay"

T: All genuine ...when we're on the floor...not on the FLOOR but on the STUDIO floor...

W: Come on ...give us those facts....

T: He still comes down with his little camera and takes pics of everyone - they are nice and it's not a put on.

M: I think what everyone would like to know is that is David Walliams a good kisser?

T: Well I don't know cos my mouth was shut at the time ..his mouth was...

M: Don't say that...it was not ...we all saw movement.

W: Tony you opened up like a (I STILL don't know what she said THERE!) and everyone knows it.

T: *giggles* It wasn't written like that originally and the ending just didn't work and he was very sweet and he came up in the break and said "look ..can I kiss you?" So in the rehearsal we kissed on the lips and it was ...odd...

M: Can I kiss you?

T: If you want...*shrug and frown*

M: Nah, not now...not now you made that face! That was a genuine offer.

T: I've had David Walliams okay?

W: What was your highlight of the awards tonight?

T: Little Britain! Kicking butt!

M: It did kick a lot of arse.

T: Three awards

W: Cleaned up

T: Cleaned up and rightly so.

W: It's been on the go for about 10 years on the wireless and then got on the television....

M: The WIRELESS??? We call it RADIO.

W: Oh my God ...I'm in the big city now!

M: I can only apologise for my co-host here tonight. But it did very well which is what we're trying to say here.

W: It did...are you looking forward to the next series?

T: Yeah, yeah.

M: Have they written out your character yet? Do they feel it's gone as far as it can go?

T: Well I don't know where we go from here, I really don't. They've got a lot of work ahead of them...they're going on tour at the end of the year...

M: Are you going on tour with them?

T: I don't know. I can't go a whole tour but we're talking about maybe if I join them for some gigs.

M: For the slightly nerdy Buffy fans that are watching there has been talk of you doing "The Ripper" is that gonna happen?

T: I don't know, Joss Whedon still talks about it. Every time I talk to him he says "I haven't forgotten". At the moment he's making movies ..and he needs to make movies.
