What's up? What's up? What is
Everything is up. Everything everything is up in the air because g so we need to explain at the beginning. Are you all right? You're going to expire. Okay. We need to explain at the beginning of this program how this is working. So I am not in Cornwall. I am in London. No, I'm in I'm in the heart of the Take HQ on Theobald's Road in London. Take HQ. Okay. That looks very lovely. Yeah, exactly. Well you know what it's like, Simon, you've been here before. In fact, I was there
yesterday, in fact.
You were t the here yesterday when you were speaking to today's guest, which I won't preempt, but you and I were going to be doing the show in the same space. We are now not doing that for complicated reasons. You are actually at your home in Showbiz North London. I am at the home of the Take HQ. And the reason I am here is because and the reason I'm dressed as um Immaculately, like you're an elder statesman. Thank you. I will take that in the spirit in which it's intended, is that I am wearing my suit because I am going from here to Heathrow to go to New York to introduce the director's cut of the Devils at the New York Film Festival.
Have they seen your social media feed and customs?
Thank you for bringing that up straight away. And I'm glad this podcast won't go out until after so so when you're listening to this podcast, one of two things will have happened. Either I will be ensconced in New York and uh, you know, gearing up to do the devil's thing, or I will be on a flight home because as Simon just pointed out They're a bit jumpy. But the other thing is the last four times that I've been on a plane, they have lost my luggage. And the last time I did that happened, I was coming back from Ireland. They lost my base. Um so I have to I've got it back, but you know, I have to have this suit to introduce the film because it's at the Lincoln Centre and I have to be in a suit. And I figured the the only way I can guarantee that they can't lose my suit is I have to wear it.
now on the plane. On the plane. So I literally had to wake up this morning in Dean Street and then shlub all the way over here to Theobald's Road wearing the suit. And then I'm gonna be on the Elizabeth line wearing the suit and I'm gonna thing and then I'm gonna have nine hours on the flight to get to there where they won't look at my social media and then so anyway, that's why I'm dressed as an elder statesman and So what time
do when are you on stage?
Uh um not today, uh Saturday. I'm going today 'cause I've got to I've got to I've I'm doing interviews for the film because I'm you know, 'cause I'm sort of the pic because I was involved in the restoration, so I'm the I'm the voice of the reissue.
