In fact, the week Big Boys Series 1 came out, they pulled that stream of funding.

And so I feel like I've been really lucky.

But every time I've got my foot in the door, something's been pulled up.

And I do think it's particularly bad.

And that Edinburgh stat is real.

There was a fund to help new artists go to the Edinburgh Fringe.

It's been cut by 93%.

And I'm worried that in state schools particularly, it's not even that drama and music is being cut off the syllabus, which it is in some places, but it's being discouraged.

And I think if you have that disparity between what people are getting in the private education sector and what kids are, you know, fostering there, like we've got to also make sure that we are giving arts and drama and musical opportunities to people who aren't from those sort of backgrounds.

Absolutely.

So it all just came out of me.

I'd advise.

Well, thank you so much.

And it was, yeah, it was lovely.

I really have to say that I was really thinking about this because my mum's an excellent cook and me and my brothers are not.

Well, actually, my eldest brother is pretty good.

There's three.

I'm one of three.

And they're always so annoyed because in Big Boys I present my character as an only child.

I know, yeah.
