Sara & Cariad's Weirdos Book Club · The Cut by Richard Armitage with Richard Armitage · 4 Jun 2026 podcast

I wanted the parent to experience what he went through by putting his kids through it.

So you're sort of watching it third hand because it's sort of about bullying and misogyny and racism that was around in my school days.

But then when those people grow up and their kids come into the world, you're like, well, I wanted to put their kids through it so that they'd feel what it was like.

That's exactly what I got.

I was like, you're going to learn to fight your own battles.

in the gang that you're not your gang and just like the that would be chatted you know what i mean when people just standing around smoking but it was so horrible to each other and gang mentality as well yeah yeah it was always when when you're on your own you you don't have any sounding board but the minute people start to group together you're like oh they suddenly become really powerful interesting that everybody's had one of those school experiences did you go to a comp

Yes.

I used to go home quite regularly with a bleeding nose, but I don't remember the punches.

It's so weird.

I remember the bleeding nose and I remember my mum kind of holding my head back because I'd come home from being punched.

I remember the one punch I threw after maybe seven or eight years of

receiving these punches and this kid was going for me again that's when I had the white out because I don't know where it's like a rush of adrenaline and suddenly he was on the floor and I don't know I don't remember the feeling in my hand but he was on the floor and I was like that that was a culmination of a lot of suppressed anger so you had were you bullied for a long time or was this like one person kind of like

just being an arsehole it was one person who rallied a group against me and I could you could always I could always see there were some people that were reluctant followers and some people that were like just sort of the backup singers it's a great description of them and the cut refers to the shortcut home

which was this little pathway, because I lived in a fairly rural village between the school and my house, but it had a bend in it and it's like fenced off so you couldn't see around the corner.

But it was the only way I could get home and I would get there every day and turn the corner and they'd be standing at the end.

Oh, that fear.

I can't go back because they'd come around the back as well and so you were trapped in this like rat run.

Well, I'm convinced that's why I got out of school and couldn't wait to get away from my small town and travelled the world doing the thing I love.

I kind of went all the way to Blumen, New Zealand, but there were people that didn't.

They stayed in the village.
