Anger, I would say, is there.

Resentment, bitterness.

But humour.

But also about, yeah, it's humour and fun.

And the whole, I want, probably I would say the compliment I want to hear first is that it's funny.

And anything else that comes after that is a bonus.

I suppose it was, certainly initially as well, when I was really coming to form, okay, who are these cards?

Who could they be?

What would they have to say for themselves?

But very often, it would be quite quick that they would settle.

They would kind of congeal on the page into a specific person.

Because you start off on this very broad, perhaps,

Or you've got someone in your head, or maybe it's a bit like, I don't know, anti-Pauline or whatever.

But surprisingly quickly, they kind of cohere.

And sometimes it can be a single phrase.

It can be a single thing that they're doing.

So there's a young actor in it called Turlock, and he's very...

angry young man, you know, he's bitter at not having the opportunities that other people might have.

And he wants to be on this show, even though he seems to have no love for the script.

He thinks he's above and above everything.
