Graham Norton

They do these things called the removals, where each household puts a for sale sign outside the house they want to leave.

And we're doing them and the sun is setting and they're literally a duck with her ducklings walking across the set.

I mean, I think this, you watch it, and one, there's a side kind of Truman show.

The art department has done an amazing job of kind of, it's all real, it's all there, but it's kind of heightened.

And even when you were on set, you'd kind of see flowers, and you're kind of, are those real?

Is that fake?

And you'd have to touch them.

And, you know, you'd see people watering fake flowers.

Yeah.

So there's that element.

But then, you know, and

I don't think this was meant to be a part of the show, but what's kind of lovely is some of these households in real life would either never meet or certainly would not spend time getting to know each other.

And that I found really kind of cheery and optimistic and lovely that the households did not behave in a way that I, uh,

you know, cynically thought they would.

Yes.

They didn't turn on the people they thought they would.

Do you live in the neighborhood as well?

I'm there most of the time.

You don't have like a house right on the top of the hill or something?

I did have a little cottage at the top of the hill.
