Well, apart from anything else. I mean, Topsy Turvy wasn't a film that you just made spontaneously. I mean, we'd been planning it for ages. Yeah. And mostly just trying to get the money, really. But I had the notion for quite a long time to make that film. Aber auch in einer noch schickeren Art. Ich wollte einen Film machen, der die Überzeugung über das, was ich tue, herausfordert.

Ja, genau, das war das Intentionale. Ich mag Musicals und ich mag Gilbert und Sullivans Sachen, das ist großartig. Und ich habe mich dazu eingelassen, es zu sehen und all diese Songs zu kennen und alles andere. Und ich war auch fasziniert von dem Viktorianischen Theater. Es ist faszinierend. Also ja, ich meine, das war es wirklich alles um.

Ja, ja, ja.

Ja, ja, ja.

Ja, ja, ja.

Yeah, I mean, they're the same muscles, just worked on them. I mean, it was a gas, it was tough, but it was great fun. It was good. And all those actors that were in it, even all the ones in the chorus, they were all proper actors who could sing. And we used all the techniques and things which we've been talking about to bring it all to life and make it all happen.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Das ist auch wahr. Das Tolle ist, dass es alles sehr recherchierbar ist. Und wir haben massiv gearbeitet. Alle sind involviert. Alle haben auf jeden Niveau recherchiert, nicht nur theatrisch und musikalisch, aber auf alle Art und Weise. Es war wie eine Mini-Universität. Es war großartig. The truth is, I've made three period films set in the 19th century. That, Mr. Turner and Peterloo.

The fact is, that the 19th century was actually only the day before yesterday. I mean, really. My grandparents were born in the 1880s or something. The Peterloo Massacre, which is what the last film was about, before this current one, was in 1819 in Manchester. Now, I knew...

In the 40s, when I was a kid, I knew old women who would have been old enough to have known old people who were at the Petilium Massacre. So in a way, as I say, it's just the day before yesterday. If I chose perversely to make a film set in the 6th or 7th century, I have no idea how we'd go about it, really. Because, you know, it's an alien, alien, alien world.
