[@LexWilson]

That S+L scene with Timothy Spall. Incredible.

[@lesleyclairvo-j1n]

Such articulate literacy is music to my ears!!!

[@hrtdinasaurette3020]

Thanks so much for this upload. A true gem. ❤

[@MartianTom]

Mike Leigh seems to have an accurate and unique handle on the autistic experience.

[@Heronjim]

Incredibly interesting, thank you for uploading this.

[@Dfar]

Thank you so much for that!

[@TheMJNicholls]

Neither of them ordered any food. Owner won't be pleased.

[@Elmirgtr]

+TheMJNicholls but thanks to this, if I ever visit london I will go that cafe

[@MatthewMcVeagh]

Either the TV company paid them for the location, or the owner probably likes one or both of them anyway.

Two great storytellers.

thank you

[@kelman727]

The London bubble doesn’t work wonders for people’s sense of proportion or humility.

[@peterhagan8454]

Say the words ' peter n Dudley Dudley n peter' in the voice of Alan bennet and repeat, gives me the giggles

[@rsb8380]

16:23 So I absolutely love Naked, it’s a masterpiece, but it’s interesting listening to this discussion about rape within the current social climate. I just rewatched the opening scene and it didn’t start off as a rape but it could be convincingly argued it finished as one.

[@peterhagan8454]

Timothy spall is my actor a giant

[@I.KUchiha]

I think Will Self is in love with Mike Leigh. looool

[@kelman727]

Sir I.K Elzyy That would require him to love something other than himself.

[@keithkaosHarv]

Please say yes

[@Sumabus]

At the risk of sounding like a pleb, who's the Becket person they mention in the fourteenth minute?

[@TheMJNicholls]

Sumabus Samuel Beckett, one of the Titans of 20thC drama, Waiting for Godot, Endgame, etc. Also wrote surreal and blackly comic novels and short prose. His plays were made into a boxset of wonderful films ten years ago. Check him out.

[@kelman727]

Sam Beckett. Feted playwright, mediocre novelist, inept poet. Only Nobel prize winner named in Wisden.

[@nigelwilliams9307]

Who is Will Self ffs?

[@gibbogle]

Watch the video, and you will see who he is. He also writes books.

It is certainly unusual.

Why watch somebody you find irritating?

[@nectarinedreams7208]

Irritating because your "filmmaking" isn't a pimple on the asshole of humanity compared to Leigh's?
