Rob Brydon

But that's always been in me.

And in fact, the first thing I did that was any good was a show called Marion and Jeff, which was a series of monologues, a taxi driver, like an alter ego for me.

And he has a line in it, which I think is quite revealing about me, because he says...

He says, I will always see the other side.

He said, if Michael Owen scores a goal, he was a footballer years ago, I'm delighted, but I will spare a thought for the goalkeeper.

Now that's a comic line, but at its root, I can see a lot of me in that.

So I find it quite hard to be especially opinionated about that.

anything, really, because I go, well, there's always the other side.

Yeah.

Is that because you think, oh, lightweight Rob wouldn't be aware of modern-day philosopher Alain de Bottin?

I bet you did, didn't you?

I did, yeah.

No, I bet you did.

I bet you.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have asked me.

Do you know who he is?

I was being polite.

No, you were being patronizing.

He was not patronizing.

Have you ever heard, Jamie, of Sigmund Freud?
