Rory was such a fantastic character, I’m glad him and Karen left on a high
Ngl I didn't expect to see you here Chippy
To me they didn't leave on a high, they left on a cry 😪
CHIPPYS A WHOVIAN?!?!?
The Angels Take Manhattan is arguably Steven Moffat's worst episode. It's so full of plot holes and contradictions for how the Weeping Angels work that the only reason anybody takes it seriously is because it's Amy and Rory's final appearance. Honestly, they should have officially left in The God Complex and The Wedding of River Song should be their last hurrah. At least in that episode, time was literally collapsing in on itself so the rules didn't apply like they should with the Weeping Angels.
OMG YOURE A WHOVIAN? THIS IS THE BEST NEWS EVER
Arthur and Karen not leaving together just wouldn't have worked as well, it was the right decision all round.
For me he is most notable as Paul, on Broadchurch. Fantastic portrayl of a vicar struggling to be a comfort during a horrific event while wrestling with his own faith.
I liked him as Rory in Dr Who but I thought Arthur Darvill was particularly good in the episode of the Sandman he did.
Very correct. Had no idea he was going to be in it, so when he popped up, I was grinning.
Darville was very good in Legends of Tomorrow.
That "Darvill Court" at the end is superb. Rob is quick off the old block when he wants to be
Thanks, Rob! Thanks, Arthur! ⏳ I adored his portrayal of 'Rory'. His era of that show was my favorite, as a matter of fact. #RobBrydon #ArthurDarvill #RoryWilliams #DoctorWho
He literally played a time lord in legends of tomorrow! 🤯🤯🤯😎😎😎😎😎😎
In my screening of Barbie there was instant laughter and applause as soon as Rob came on screen, what a legend.
Thanks for that….
i saw an interview with him at the premiere and didn’t realize he was in it! made me even more excited for the movie.
Of tomorrow
It happened in my screening as well! I had no idea he would be in the movie and that made it even more fun🤣
Seeing him on the screen was a nice surprise. Sadly, I was probably the only one in the theater who reacted (I'm in the US).
Rob as Sugar Daddy Ken stole those scenes!
Bryden has already pitched "Doctor Huw" to the BBC: The story of a Welsh country GP whose antique grandfather clock allows him to travel back in time to the "Good Old Days", and solves mysteries in the village, while also tending to his patients and their ailments.
Goodnight Sweetheart meets Doctor Finlay meets Midsomer Murders... starring the great Welsh actor... Owen Teale! (Assuming Sheen turns it down)
Rob is one of the few interviewers who actually listens and doesn't make it all about him. Nice man! Arthur seemed very nice as well. 25 minutes of peace and interesting conversation. Thank you!!
Are you watching the same Rob as me? The interviews are enjoyable, but he frequently makes it about himself. He does give the spotlight back, but he definitely takes it. I don't fault him for doing so, as the kind of person that goes into show business, will have that trait.
And he often interrupted and sometimes asked a totally different question about a totally different subject whilst Arthur was answering the previous question.
People say this in the comments of every interviewer. There's a balance and Rob does it well, you have to the interviewers personality in there, otherwise what's the point of them being there.
what I always love about acting on the stage is that I get a script, I learn it, I work with the other actors to make the whole thing come to life, and then I get to perform it multiple times for different audiences and get to see and feel their reaction right there, in time, it's the best!
16:38 is when he starts talking about Doctor Who
Thank you
very appreciated
Legend
Thank you!
Legend thank u
His performance of Oh What a Beautiful Morning! is extraordinary.
What a range of talent he has.
Rob Brydon was fantastic in the Barbie movie.
Carried the film. Everyone’s saying it. 🥰
Saw it today! He was great 😀
I grew up literally next door to Arthur's school. Our back yard was separated from Bromsgrove School grounds by a low wall. Trevor Eve was a pupil there too, so that's a really good drama department they have there.
Weirdly, I was at school with Trudi Styler, another actress, and a lad called Mark Williams who won an Oxford scholarship and became an actor.
Bromsgrove is stuffed with great acting talent.
Mark (North Bromsgrove High School) played Arthur's (Bromsgrove School) father in Doctor Who.
Years later, Sir Lenny Henry, from nearby Dudley, played a villain in Doctor Who, who gave his birthplace as Bromsgrove
Wow!! Dude! You're SO lucky!!! I totally wish I grew up in the same school with you and Arthur went! 😩😆
I am a HUGE fan of Arthur BTW. He's my celeb crush! 😍😍
@@Elysia63How is he lucky? He's talking about what other people did. It's not an achievement to have been in their vicinity.
I love this for the Doctor Who talk. Really though Rob is so good at this! Just seems natural him having a “chat” and we get to ease drop.
Great to see Arthur. Both he and Karen are true talents; and the Ponds were the best companions, bar none.
Wait Arthur told his parents about his role in WHO in Birmingham!!! TK MAX IN BIRMINGHAM that’s just hilarious to me and I love it, I grew up in Birmingham and completely forgot Arthur is from here.
Who knew Mr Pond was so wildly versatile? I just realized yesterday that he was in DC's Legends of Tomorrow. Not just in but sort of the seminal character as a "Time Master". And I saw him in something else just days before. It would be great to see some clips from Oklahoma.
He was a favourite! He was well written the way he did it.
Rob Brydon is turning into the new Parkinson. Great guests, interviewed in a thoughtful, laid-back interview style that brings out brilliant gold nugget life anecdotes and stories from everyone he interviews :) 😍😃😍
im from Oklahoma... its neat that one of my favorite companions acts in the play Oklahoma...
He nailed the Little Dorrit role.
Love that every Rob interview seeks affirmation from interviewee.
Rory is my favourite character from Dr Who ever.
Great interview and I for one want to champion Doctor Huw! Love it!
That production of Once was fantastic. Had a pint on stage at the start, which was nice.
We went to Saundersfoot in Year 6 for our school trip! I’ve not heard it mentioned until this podcast, would love to go back.
The Antique Roadshow bit was spot on
Glad to here Arthur enjoys Wales. Didn’t know he had connections to Pembrokeshire🏴
The Antiques Roadshow ending was unexpected, but the so was Dr Huw. Nice!
That's what I love about Rob: there's always something unexpected but delightful.
Now I can't wait for Doctor Ewe! Wonder how Rory the Roman would fit in it but that would have to do.
I saw him as Guy in Once in the West End. Was wonderful.
The moment I hear of a Hammond Organ I can’t help but think of Rimmer’s obsession in Red Dwarf 😂 Will definitely give Oklahoma a try now I’ve heard more about it, and hope to see Arthur and Karen make a surprise appearance together in November 😉
Same thing pops into my head. Every smegging time.
Please 'Sir' Rob Brydon! Interview lee Mack again 🙂
Most difficult of all, and I know what I'm talking about... Interview the wonderful, most tallentous, genius Sally Bretton... I know... Very difficult... She is a Star
Please make an effort :-)
Cheers from a grateful viewer in the States.
People who think being a performer isn't exhausting have never been a performer
Or even been to the theatre: you can often see how exhausted they are by the end and they have to do it to a very high standard several times a week! How many of us could realistically dance and sing at the same time like that?
They dont talk about Doctor Who until 17:00. Title is a tad misleading
I once read that doing mental things like reading or having to constantly think through something is tiring. This is because the mind demands energy like the body does. So when you do mental activities you get tired, hungry and need replenishment as though you had been working with your hands. But if you do, it is very important to know that this is only your mind needing food, not your body so don't get fat.
Fantastic hair Brydon
Lovely! Thanks!
I've often been nicknamed Doctor Huw
Rory is one of my favorite characters.
It took them twenty minutes of twenty-five to really talk about Doctor Who and never really answered the why of his leaving.
Yes he did, it was the decision they took. they all felt it was time and if you've seen their run you'll understand why (there wasn't really anything meaningful left to do with the characters).
I just assumed that it was just time for him to move on as all actors do in shows like Doctor Who, you can't be there forever.
Very interesting and informative interview. My first but not last exposure to Rob Brydon. Well done!
You're in for a treat! He's done quite a broad range of things, but always seems to come across as a lovable uncle.
Gavin and Stacey is probably his well-known TV piece - it's a little dated now, but still decent enough.
He's also the presenter for the panel show Would I Lie to You and is very entertaining in that role. The two team captains are also comedic actors so the three of them often egg each other on.
The interviews are fairly new for him, but really suit his style and personality.
Overall, he's one of those people that just seems to pop up all over the place. He's definitely a comedic actor, but in a very natural way and is particularly good at improv which is why I think he thrives as a host.
@@hannahk1306 Oh thank you! I've barely begun but I love him and his style already! You guys are so lucky having such wealth of talent over there!
@@DanielWright-np3fq Yes definitely, I think it helps that it's a relatively small friendly industry so all of the actors and comedians are friends and will support each other. British TV (and to some extent Australian TV) also seems a lot more real to me than American TV, so that helps bring some good actors in as well (especially as it's less focused on looking "perfect").
It's also pretty easy for them to flit between different mediums here, whereas I feel like all of the TV and film stuff in the US is centred around Hollywood and the big theatre stuff is up in New York.
@@hannahk1306 Well said and a spot on analysis. One of the attractive things for me about British and Australian TV is the looser, more relaxed and natural feel of it. Even our most beloved shows here all feel like "processed cheese" and very formulaic, careful to sell the product of the person or project, careful to only lightly offend to appear edgy. It's all so plastic. This is what drew me to British viewing.
@@DanielWright-np3fq Yes, I know exactly what you mean! We get some American TV over here, but it's my "easy viewing" watches not things that I really look forward to watching.
I think another factor is our tighter ad regulations mean that we get more programme to flesh out the story properly. It's one of the reasons that I love BBC dramas: a whole hour of uninterrupted plot every episode.
The streaming service BritBox is jointly owned by BBC and ITV (another channel), so it's full of British TV including stuff from their archives if you want to have access our programmes. I've never used it (they also have their own free platforms if you're in UK), so I don't know how much it costs or how quickly stuff gets uploaded there but I've heard good things about it online.
Dr Huw's car could have trouble starting; making a wheezing noise as the engine turns over.
Come on now Arthur, get the story straight - your character didn't exactly just die: he was erased from time so he'd literally never existed; then he wasn't even a real human, but a plastic Roman centurion with a gun for a hand who guarded a box alone for 2000 years; then he got sent back in time by a statue where he got stuck and died before he was born because his wife read his name on a gravestone. It was a *little* more dramatic than just dying over and over again (that's Jack's job).
what smashing men!
I loved Rory
There were only two companions I found at all relatable during the Moffat era: Rory and Bill. Amy and Clara both seemed more alien to me than the Doctor.
They should have brought Rory back for a day and called him Kenny.
Wow. I didn't know Rory really had such a posh-sounding voice, but I've also never watched many interviews with him.
love you rory
I was more curious as to what happened on Legends of Tomorrow. Why the producers had him around in Vancouver on episodes where he was not needed. That seemed a but cruel.
So did he ever say why he left Doctor Who, other than it was a "mutual decision"?
That was literally it: that they all felt it was time and if you've seen their run you'll understand why (there wasn't really anything meaningful left to do with the characters).
the mutual decision WAS the reason he left
What do you mean 'the REAL reason'? We always knew him and Karen mutually thought it was the right time.
In America even GUNS have GUNS
PWB is a pain in the neck. A lovely example of how up its arse showbiz is.
Uh, because Karen was leaving and they weren't going to keep Rory around without her?
You may not have gone to RADA, but now look at you! Mr. Sugar Daddy in Barbie!
What we wanted was Rob to say "Now give me the precious" and descend into another crap impersonation
Ah would you not spell Doctor Who like that
The real reason Rob Brydon left Dr Who why? Because Rob Rydon is CRAP
Rob Brydon wasn't in Dr Who... If you don't like him then don't engage with his channel or watch his programmes 🤷
I’ve always thought it was dark and I am glad Judd is dead.
Everybody's trying to erase any memory of that abomination Harrison Ford did with Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Rob brings it up as though it were a good thing... Why torture us so?
He said she’s going to be in the film, so this was probably filmed before the release. 😂😂😂😂
@@heatheryoung9254 Fair enough. Still, they could have edited it out, as I believe this was only just uploaded today.
@@Leery_Bard I'm not sure it was so bad it warrants complete erasure from the history books 😅
who the fuck is everybody? I liked the film and know many many people who did too, don't confuse your own subjective opinion as fact.
@@SeanS102 Oh, I am. Actually, it seems millions, if not billions, of people are. 😂
Never heard of him. Never seen him.
I'm going to go and post the comment on all the videos of people I haven't heard of. It'll take forever and seems futile but you seem to think it's a good idea so...
He speaks very highly of you.
Ignorance is never something to be proud of ! 😂
Well, he's never heard of you, either. Funny old world
Because Doctor Who Went WOKE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 and lost over 20 Million viewers 😢
It went beyond woke into total disaster! 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹😩😩😩😩🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Are you saying that happened in 2012?
@@minecraftrotisseriechicken something big definitely happened around 2012, see Mandela effect, we are definitely in a worse reality! 🤯🤯🤯
@@hanniffydinn6019
No we aren't, I went outside and saw several butterflies and even a few birds today. Definitely living in the better reality.
@@minecraftrotisseriechicken so did I, but nature has suddenly many unexplainable species, look up Mandela effect, you clearly don’t understand it. The rise of wokeism is the worse thing to ever happen! 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Never liked him in Doctor who. Just found him annoying
