It's a man.

Oh, God.

And then I thought, right, OK, how do you act with a man?

You're going to put someone there.

You're going to have to communicate with them.

How do you do this now?

Because it was so alien to have someone else there.

Then the man turned around and I thought, fuck off, it's Armando Iannucci.

And I was half like, we're on a team together.

And then I thought, just don't let yourself down for Christ's sake.

And then launched into it.

Well, it was mad because what I love about this show is that it kind of gives you a really good insight to who you are as a person.

And then putting me and Armando together...

When he is very ordered and structured and he thinks about everything and he's like, right, what is, why is it doing this?

Now, if we do this and he's quite slow and he thinks about everything, whereas I'm just like, stuff it, come on, let's just do this and throw ourselves into it.

And it was mad putting the pair of us together, but it was brilliant.

There's not normally a man.

I don't class Alex as a man.

Everything about him is kind of like, sort of if you saw like a neutral...

unsexual alien form that to me is Alex.
