Hey everyone and welcome to another episode of the NERDY UP North Podcast. It's a NERDY podcast hosted by two northern nerds. I'm one of your hosts Sam. And I'm the other host, Paul.

And today we have a very, very special guest. Someone that has pretty much held to me since I started doing this whole podcast game and give us some great advice and help us back to the way of Instagram as well is the lovely Vic from the Girl Strikes Back. And I am sort jealous of her toy collection. Someone jealous.

Thank you. I do have a problem. That's not a problem. We have wanted to get you one here, but absolutely.

I know. I know. It was either like I wasn't free. I'd been working crazy as well.

Or it was just scheduling problem really. I really wanted to come on. I know. Now you've got to put on with us as well.

So that's the main thing. So yes, with like I said before, with all our guests, we do like to let them introduce themselves and give them like say a little bit of their NERDY credentials. So I'll let you tell you a bit about yourself and what kind of things you like to get up to other than the toys. Because as I said, we've mentioned the channel, but you are absolutely hilarious on the channel as well.

So it's always great. Thank you very much. I do get very, very excited every time when I buy a toy. So yeah, I'm weak.

That's short for Victoria, but I don't like when people call me Victoria because it feels like I'm in trouble. So because my mom used to call me Victoria. So I'm getting him. Yeah.

So yeah, I'm Hungarian living in the UK in the past like 12 plus years. And yeah, you only got into collecting in the last like probably like four or five years. So I never really had the chance to collect before. So considering that my collection got out of control a little bit.

So yeah, and I do, well, I do have a YouTube channel as well. The customers back that I started in January in lockdown because I was like, I'm bored. I want to do something. I really wanted to see more girl YouTubers about like collection and toys and just nerdy things.

So that's why I treat it. So it's basically me. I don't really have any other hobbies or anything because I have no time for it. I can't say it to me by more toys.

I know the Felix. My poor wife bless her. She gets like every time I even walk into us. I know I've got to say I've wanted the toy dial first.

She just rolls her eyes at us. And this lets us get on with it. But it's worst things you could be addicted to or get in the collection. So it's not too bad.

But yeah, it's interesting to say you started in January as well. Because that was around the time I was having the idea for nearly up north. And not necessarily the podcast. That was Sam's idea.

She kind of forced me because I'm not the most confident of people. I know it doesn't seem that way. But yeah, so my idea was to basically get a group of people to talk about things I used to have a conversation with in the pub. And this is where it's basically grown to.

And I say, well, I always have a good laugh. And I wanted to ask you as well. So I know he said you'd started the collection. What was one of the first things that you did buy?

Oh my God. I think one second. I know I have it here somewhere. Oh, yeah.

Oh dear. I'm in a mountain situation all over again. Yeah, it was a power of the force, Luke. Oh, very cool.

So yeah, that was the first thing I bought. But over the years I had loads of little things. But I never really had a boyfriend who supported me. So that's why I never really had someone who supported this.

So that's why I wasn't really into the collecting. I couldn't really collect. And I think now I have empire toys. I think it's even worse.

That's not collecting. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, that's funny.

Yeah. That's great. But big, big is the one who got me into Lord of the Rings collecting. So I don't even know how I found you.

I just did. And then, and I was checking out a YouTube channel. And then I saw I was the bag of the massive bag. Remember the massive bag you got of law?

Seriously. Like that, that find. I remember it was, it was in India for it, actually, on a carbon sale. And it's usually not a, not a good carbon sale anyway.

But we've been there. It was like six o'clock in the morning, like freezing cold. I was like, oh my God, I want to be. And I didn't really have much like hope to find anything.

And the guy was selling like a huge box of Lord of the Rings figures. And I was like, I'm going to ask like he had all the weapons, everything. I was like, how much you want for the whole thing? He was like, I don't know, 30 quid.

I was like, okay, he was the bag just pour it all in. I was like, absolute gold mine. Like then figures now are so expensive. Yeah.

I mean, I remember your telling is get them now because the show's coming out and you've got damn it, you were right because they're really hard to get now. I know. I know. It's like I had over like over 45, 50 figures in there, all these weapons and everything for that much.

I couldn't believe it. So I'm really happy. I don't know if you can. Sorry.

Like it's all. Oh, wow. Yeah. It is absolutely stunning.

But yes, it was bigger. Got me in a lot of the Rings collecting. I've probably just been just not being scared to go on collect. I wasn't like, I don't know.

I'm not. I'm not. I haven't. I was the kind of person who would take everything out of the packaging.

The idea of doing that now makes me. I mentioned about the course was to always do like don't you dare take them out the box. Yeah. You've had a picture of these courses because he's just getting his like, shall I take them out the box and don't you fucking do it.

Well, the guys in a toy division, they always say one thing led them brief. Fair, fair, fair. No, like seriously, don't get to that stage when you buy to keep one in the box. It's more like a true collector.

Yeah. Well, yeah. Before we get sidetracked, I'm talking about always all day, which we'll probably put it. I knew this one happened.

We've got big on for a very special reason because we know how much of a big fan she is of this program. And I can say it was quite a big part of my childhood as well. And when I try to think about it, it was worried as how little I actually remembered it off the shore. I remember it always being there like a bit of a constant and we are going to talk about the exiles.

So yes, and I think that's the big thing that always stands out in my head is always the thing. I can say do do do do do do. I'm not going to do it because I was showing myself a little bit there. But it was always like quite creepy and even my goal and credits again today, I started it was purely put together and even back then it wasn't great.

It was like something that you would say on the history channel, like say with the credits. It was like missing persons like document. I've seen this boy. You can wouldn't surprise us.

Yeah, I remember I didn't see the first couple of episodes because when it first came out over here was on BBC to I believe. And it wasn't the time we did have like on demand or anything. It was on busy on once. You missed it.

You missed it. You got to wait six months to watch it again. So I think my journey started halfway through the first season. I remember the episode because it's still scared us to the state was the one with the loggers out in the mountains where.

No, no, these loggers like cutting down for a straight and stuff that just went missing. And when the go and find them, it turns out these green fluorescent bugs was destroying them but never really explained to where they come from. It was something to do with like Indian burial grounds as well. But it just fascinated us how bizarre and how weird Muldaw was.

Like it was the straight. It was almost comedy because he thought I must be just getting the piss. But he was so straight where everything in his lines delivered. It was always quite not forced.

But you just wanted him to cry a smile or break this persona. He never did. Well, he did later on but not for the first season. But that was my first introduction into the X files watching that.

I think it was nine o'clock on a Thursday night or Tuesday night. I think if you remember it said memory service right. I said, how did you get into it? I think it was the first time you watched an X-ray episode.

Okay. So I only started watching X files last year in December. All right. So basically when I was a kid in the 90s, it was terrifying.

Like I watched one episode with the guy of the first season. We'd like to go through that little item. Two. Two.

These are the biggest ones in there. The only episode I seen when I was a kid. And I was like, nope. Nope.

I don't know if you guys know or not. I know you guys love horror. I don't watch horror. I like the classic ones.

I'm terrified of horror movies. And I blame my brother for this. Because when I was a kid, he had the habit for a while that he hid behind the curtains and jumped out and kept me and stuff like that. So basically that's why when I was a kid I couldn't deal with any like horrors and stuff.

So when it was lockdown, we started watching X files. And we basically binge watched like the first like six seasons in lockdown. And I just I loved it so much. And I think it was different for me to watch it for the first time at this age because I understood.

Yeah. You got more of the references. And because I'm a huge like conspiracy theorist anyway. I don't have a team foil.

I'm not very good today. Because of that it was like amazing. And that's when I got into collecting the exercise. So yeah, I've seen a few of the big, big, big boards.

I think trust me to say about the conspiracy theories because I think I was not now. I think in the 30s, I was heavily into like all the conspiracy theories and anything that was like a documentary on YouTube or like basically, and I've completely blemned the X files for making me that way. And I don't know if you've ever seen them. There's a news be a show on Sky one with Danny Wallace, used to do all the different conspiracy theories and actually talk about the Illuminati or.

Yeah, pretty much. But we're not even like the comedian and like it's been as dry as he was. He went in the video of these people and it was so well done. But if you ever get a chance to catch up, but I'm like, they don't even want to stop.

Come with me. But it is for the good conspiracy ones. I'm going to check out. Yeah, definitely.

Some. So your first experience with the truth is out there. I can't remember when I actually started watching it. But I do remember it being young and being completely and ugly of the process.

I'm like, I love monster of the week. I absolutely adore that aspect of it. And I remember the Easter getting the X files book guide of season one and two. This thing became my Bible.

I taught this book everywhere with me. And if anyone wanted to strike up a conversation, I'd be like, hold on a minute. And then we'll talk about this. But I was really was obsessed with it.

But my mom, I kind of dropped off around the fourth, maybe fifth season. And my mom absolutely adore this program. So it's kind of like, because my mom does like a lot of science fiction, she doesn't do horror. She will not do horror, but she does like science fiction, and this was in her in her or Carol, like that was fine for her.

That was a level. So far over here. Aliens. Just like, yeah, she's just like in the middle of it.

But I just, I remember just being obsessed. And even now, like the, when you saw this thing in the show, you know, you're like, I could literally sign off from here. I just want to watch the first series again. But the first, in second, I love, like I say, I love monster of the week.

What used to get his confused was when it got into the heavy storyline that kind of ran through the middle of it, where all these conspiracies were happening. Yeah. I couldn't keep up with this. If you give this an episode of by the table, it was like the Jersey devil or two or Mark Shepherd, who was the biggest starter guy.

And that I can totally go on board with. But when he got a little bit too heavy, and then when we went off the movies and that, it just got confusing for me. Just a little bit. Yeah.

I think I agree with you there. Like my cutoff point was when the first movie come out and you thought you want to get all these answers and explain things and it just didn't. And that was, I think the build that is this big event and it was the biggest non event. Yeah.

That was probably my question. I did carry on watching it until it ended. But then another boat back was it last year or was it the year before? I did watch a few episodes with them.

Sorry. Sorry. Yeah. Don't say anything after season nine.

No. No. The reason why sorry to jump in. But the reason why we not watched it because it was summer and we just love watching X-Files.

It's dark outside. It's just that feeling and everything. So we, for summer, we stopped watching it. Yeah.

So we only watched it till season nine. So we're going to start, we literally just finished off it because that's the summer one. And now we're going to finish X-Files. Hold on a minute.

Hold on. You've just finished the office. No. I've watched it many times.

But that's like a proper like, you know, like for summer, the stuff that work just to, you know, watch it. Because you're watching and yeah. But now it's winter again and it's dark and it's cold and everything. I've watched it every single day.

Oh, back to the X-Files. Yes. That's probably a good point because I say when it got the latest season, that's when I say I don't really remember too much of like the first season, like the first couple of seasons. That's when a grip does, as I mentioned before, the scariest character in the film was probably in the early episode with tombs.

I know he did make a comeback with that first episode. It was done weirdly well, if that makes sense. Because some of the shots and stuff were done really cheesily. But it was terrifying the way these eyes kind of glowed.

It had a very Pennywise type filter like off of it. Especially when he was like looking in the shadows and coming out and grabbing people and having to eat the livers every 20, 20 years to stay alive. But I still remember, I still remember now when he had, like say, Jenny Nansen's scotty's pinned on the floor, arms off like that. And when the end, I was ready to scoop out a livers before mold it, crash down the door.

And for a TV show, I'd say it did have its terrifying moments. Like I don't think tombs would be beaten or could get weird with, like, say, the aspect. Or here it's a modern version just simply because they would probably do too many special effects or make it two girls. Oh, I don't think two was special because of the practicality of what they did as opposed to versus special effects.

And we all know how we think about practical effects. I would agree if it wouldn't have the same impact. The guy who plays them is absolutely epic and terrifying in real life. And I'm telling you.

It was great getting the green mile as well. I think that was the same person I believe. It is the same person. The one who married the 15 year old.

Right. We're not going to go there. Yes. I'm making sure.

Moving on, swiftly. How did the conversation? Yeah. And with the X files as well, it kind of got to know different characters.

I liked how the broad characters in as well. That was quite interesting just by little teasers as well. And like, what am I? Well, a lot of my favorite.

So it's always involved like the lone gunman as well. Yeah. Just that little comedy element that I think that's what reminds of the ghost chases as super natural as well. How it's like this little team that, again, I might be wrong, but didn't they get their own little short for a while?

I just wanted to ask, have you guys watched the lone gunman? I don't think I did watch the spin off. No, I did. I knew the organics.

And Millennium was the one. I never watched it. Never even heard of it. It's been a bit of spin off as well from X files here.

It's good. But I just love how like it's so many like now famous actors and actresses wearing X files. Like I remember watching one of the episodes and Ryan Reynolds was in there. Because of course he's Canadian and they filmed in Vancouver and everything.

Yeah. And he's like 16, 17 years old. It's just crazy. I love that.

Yeah, I love going back into all the shows like that and sweating all the people like that. I think Brad Dolph was in one of the first seasons as well. The voice of Chucky. Oh my god, he's a serial killer.

Is he the serial killer? Yeah. He's a psychic Scotty kind of thing. I love that episode.

Because it's when I died down. Oh, that episode is absolutely phenomenal. I thought that was Brad Dolph in there. So green is in one of the first episodes of second episodes or something like that.

Well, this one for conspiracy, Davis and trying to search for East long lost sister. Yeah. It's just actually there's so many different beats and trails to it again, some classic villains and people that like smoking, like say the smoking man as well, how he played out against mold and always like trying to keep. Once they're ahead, but he plays sinister.

I can't remember the actors name in it, but like say the whole laid up and like him and stuff like that. And I love how the people as well as you said, I'm such a thing of other good or the bad. And I keep you guessing from the whole, seems like the whole skinner, like thing when he's hired to like obviously, well, to try and keep relation on mold and scolene, but then you think, oh, he's about to get away with stuff. He's just trying to protect them.

And it's like that type of element I used to love about the exiles like each week used to get something like it's like you had to watch the battle of the information. And if you missed an episode and if it was an important episode, you would not get it. And like I said, back in the day, you couldn't rewind or we had to the next day when it was on repeat 15 times. We had to buy the VHS as well.

So I'm going to buy the VHS every so often, just so if it was an episode I missed to try and keep up with. But, sorry, sorry. That's enough. Yeah.

I was just going to say we have been lucky since Dream and Services came out that the exiles have always been available. It was, you know, it was always there's a primer for years and Disney Plus have it now. Yeah, Disney Plus. I've tied it up as well.

It looks absolutely fantastic on Disney Plus because I watched it. I think I'm trying a few years ago and it hadn't reached well and it looked real. It was not the little box. I've you but Disney Plus have given a full-aged day treatment.

Yeah. I stretched it out and it looks absolutely beautiful now. That's what I am. I'm sorry.

That's what I got. I lost here for Christmas and I best friend surprised me with a Christmas present. I had that. Oh, wow.

It's so good. So, yeah, I'm really happy. It's been the day since I've had an ex like I've had an actual DVD collection. You know what I mean?

Like I haven't bought one for years. Yeah, I thought they're streaming like platforms and everything is just so much easier. It's either nowadays. It feels like it's too much effort to put the lead skin.

It's so much effort. I don't have a DVD player so I have the PlayStation. So, it's a case of like trying to figure out because I don't understand the PlayStation flag where it comes out anymore. Like how you get out.

Like I'm weirding me hand around trying to sort that out and then having to put it in and then we have to load up and then go through the options. Yeah, I told you guys just click done. I'm going to show something as well. I was laughing me head off again.

This is nothing to do with like I didn't plan this. I bought some toys today from like CFS group. So I got some Starwall figures and some course, the real course business figures as well. But I think I bought a few of you so you put in an extra present for us and I've never seen these before.

Oh, X files pencils. Oh my god, I love that. Brilliant. You know why as well?

Why it's pencil? Because Mulder always play with pencils. He always in every episode he's playing with pencils. That's amazing.

Yeah, I was popping up in the way of myself as well because I'm. I know the person who sent them didn't know I was doing anything to do with the X files, but they must just get away little gifts when you do some buy some toys from him. So I'm going to send him an expensive saying thank you for the X on the fence. Lovely.

You have kept you have been a good customer to him over the last few weeks. I've been promoting on the group as well. So I think I mentioned that as well because we have been doing something on the Facebook group. I don't know if you want to make a post especially with your shop.

We're doing selling Sunday's so people are being sharing things to sell and make sure to try and trim up a little business for Christmas or something. I don't know if you might not have noticed this might help out a little bit with Christmas sales, not that you're needed with the toys. Well, the thing is it's like I don't normally tell on streams where I work. All right.

Sorry. No, no, no, no, I just want security reasons and everything. Oh my God. That's why I'm not.

But you know, I'm always happy to promote like and pay it wasn't everything because we selling as well. So we got to sell on a Reading Comic Con too. So this is and so that's going to be good. Yes.

You mentioned about going down there as well. I'm sorry to get side tracked. I'm sorry to get into the Reading Comic Con. Is it like a toy fair or is it?

It's a very small comic con. It's in a sports center. It's in like a leisure center. But it's quite small.

It's only like let's say like six, seven rows of like, you know, stores in there and everything. But I love it. Seriously, I love it so much because they're really friendly there. And sometimes when you go to like be conventions, it's like, no.

But this one is really good because all the cosplayers are really nice. Like you don't seem like many like stock up cosplayers. If you know what I mean? So everyone is really friendly, really nice and it's good for families if you go with kids and everything.

Yeah. So we do it every year and it's really good. It's good. We don't get many open in all these unfortunately for some reason.

We've got to travel a bit further afield to get to the interesting ones. But yes, sorry, got side tracked there. That's my fault. I think that'll happen a lot with big guns cos like I say, we wanted big to come on.

There's so many so many topics. So I guess going off what you really want to talk about is fine. It's fine. It's just lovely to have your own.

Oh, it's really good. It's seriously. It's really good. Yeah.

I'm talking about the X files as well because one of the things I think a lot of the fans used to always worry about was always the will there won't be moments between like Mulder and Scully. I was always glad that it kind of never didn't happen properly. And it was always like the kept X. I know a lot of TV shows probably sort of went down that route a lot sooner or kind of spoke because TV shows and not the same event but had the same kind of dynamic kind of lost its loss to be like things like Castle and had the same like say dynamics between makes it to two people but in heads.

Two different opinions and when they got together kind of lost that kind of flow. That's why I kind of like the relationship that's going and Mulder has. I like it in certain episodes as well again trying to end the month I was really aware of the flip because Mulder is always the one that's like the believer in open mind and Scully's always the close mind and saying this is actually evidence and stuff. I love that the episodes were kind of flipped and then Scully was like kind of and then believing and Mulder was the one trying to bring her back as well.

So I love that aspect like the evolution of it where that kind of changed the dynamic between the team at times. Yeah. I remember watching the I think it was in the movie in the first movie when they almost kiss. Yeah.

And Scully got like stung by a bee and everything. I was like no. I was waiting for this moment for how many seasons. Oh yeah the sexual tension between them two from Dear One is so apparent but I love how for all it's there to still get a job done.

Still bigger like a marriage couple. And I do but then two together is magical isn't it? Oh yeah. Absolute magic.

You couldn't have gotten to better people to play that part then. Because it doesn't seem any falsity like false behind it like they generally look like they got on with each other and if the rumors are true really got on with each other. I just wanted to say exactly his ex wife is in was it his ex wife or ex girlfriend is actually in it and she played baby you know the English one with the in face start on the box. And you get baby green I think she's called.

I'm sure that's his ex girlfriend he was singing her at the time even though she was playing his ex girlfriend I'm sure he was girlfriend time because I know he was a clearly only for like years. Yeah. It's interesting as well as I watched the first episode again like say a few weeks ago just as I said when you say you're listening close you thought I'll stick it on to watching the background and with it with a kind of drilling Anderson is one of these women that has aged so much better. She looks great instead but she looks phenomenal.

She's like a fine wine isn't she? She really is. She just gets better with age. She is.

I mean she always look phenomenal. Sorry have you guys seen I think it's the full. That series that she's a what she's a she's like the full I think she's a detective in Northern Ireland. Oh yeah and she's trying to catch a serial killer.

Oh my god. Well she looks amazing in that anyway but that series is amazing but that's another I don't I'm trying to go after. No, no, it's fine. I think some of the stuff she's done like lately has probably been up to like I can't say it's the best work.

And she made Margaret Thatcher attractive. I don't know. Honestly she was phenomenal in the crown and in like the Hannibal's who was actually like the sales thing and without even like effortless as well. That was all I think she was just again American gods.

The first day American gods. Oh she was she in that every time she came out as a different person I was like holy shit. You look better than what you did last time and the Faui that she did was just incredible. Honestly, but the crown is being something I just really short how far she can push it.

And she really can push it. I know it's a husband who does the crown and I didn't think in a million years that's the place that would fit her in as Margaret Thatcher. It's weird though because when you go to the flip side as well I know if you have a decafnies probably had some success but not as thing because the conication was was like I know my wife absolutely loved it and loved him and it's which was a bit strange. Red hot shoe diaries?

No, but shoe diaries. Was that before the X files though? No, I think it was Jiren. I'm sorry.

I forgot about that. He's also in oh my gosh. Oh that's what I'm eating. It's about two women pretending to be drag queen.

Colin Carla that's it. He was in the middle of the day. Two women pretending to be drag queen pretending to be men. It's so good.

He was in the craft too but don't watch that. That was terrible. No one was doing it. I enjoyed it.

It's not. I mean it is but it's not as bad as what you think it's going to be. But yeah he wasn't that. I've totally forgot about that.

With the shoe as well I kind of got the progression. I know I draw back the season cliffhanger as well. I'm slowly getting abducted and suddenly being pregnant. I'm trying to think I'm worried about soil as well.

I know how far in certain characters got replaced. With other characters I don't know if you've seen that yet. It's season nine so basically in this season is Mulder is back now. That's fine.

Don't get found out what happened to his son. That was a really emotional episode and everything. I'm a public Patrick replacement didn't you for a bit. That's what I didn't want to mention in case it was season nine.

That's what I was thinking about. That was always a big weird one for me when I was watching it. Even though I've done a great job. It wasn't Fox and I didn't quite feel like the X files.

I don't know what happened or if there was any problems backstage for the reason why. Do you have a big coffee left? It's basically it's casual. They started Vancouver.

They filmed the first season there and why they moved to Los Angeles is because of the company. It was leaving there and everything. He doesn't want to go to Vancouver to fear more the time. That's why they moved the whole set because of him to Los Angeles.

After he wanted more money, he wanted to do different things. I don't know him personally. So basically he got a few other projects and everything. He stopped it.

Of course I'm guessing it's either the money run out or you know, or I don't know. He just came back basically because it wasn't the case that he's going to come back. Yeah. I remember reading when he left.

He said that's it. I'm done with the X files. He wasn't going to go back. They had the big surprise that he was returning.

I was always like the interesting parts with the X files. I still remember going back to a few years ago, we were out in the con accent. I did have a customer ring open. He's been the middle name.

The person was only about 22 and the middle name was Fox moulder. I just made a joke. I was going to go into your next file span. You're just going to be disowned.

No, you're mama died off. So he wasn't happy. Oh my God, I love it. I'm not making more jokes about that.

I still remember the tone of his voice completely changed because he must get that every time he speaks to someone or anything like that. I couldn't help myself. I had to make the comments in your next file span. I love it.

I couldn't have just gone with Fox. I had to put Mulder in there. I love it. I love it.

I love it. I love it. I just can't get picked on that much as a kid. I'm sure it'll be fine.

Here's the ultimate question. What is your favorite episode? If you'd only ever watch one, what would be episode you watch him? Okay.

To me, I think it's going to be the episode with the vampires. Is that what the green teeth was at all? That's the one. It's the first time when they don't like a really funny episode, like a comedy episode.

I think it's Luke Perry or what is... I think he's in there. He plays a Sherry. Dana has a crush on him.

So Mulder tells the story. The Sherry is like a really ugly guy and not funny. Dana tells the story. He's like really handsome and something.

I think the pizza delivery guy is a vampire. I don't know if you guys remember that episode. I'm sure. I'm sure the one that people have played the vampire was a kid from one that used to be on looks like kids movies and stuff like it should be ginger, kid or something.

I remember the images. I remember like say there was fluorescent green findings for some reason. Because I think of the X-Files when it went silly, it did go out there and it ballsed the wall. And that's why I was like sorry.

Oh, no, sorry. That's why that's one of the things I liked about the X-Files is when it didn't take itself to see. It did flip and flop. There was certain episodes that did take itself far too serious and used to go out there and go, this is just absolutely ridiculous now.

One of the favorite episodes, that's a hard one because when it's any memory, I was always a big fan of the early seasons when they were just finding the feet. Because the monsters of the week did not sort of like drilled into the whole conspiracy theory or anything like that. Probably not the first tombs episode, the second one when tombs escape. He builds his like, you see him in his nest of...

Oh, yeah. Oh, I remember, yeah. And I think that was mine. The first one was good, but the second one I thought scared me even more just because you got more of it, like, deep down.

And then you walk the rope against him this one as well so that there was actually the risk factor was ramped up as well. So that was probably mine. Mine is, I know the episode name. It has got to be a very natural thing.

I cannot remember any of them. But she is honestly, it was a flip turn for her because if you ever see it in Frasier, she is absolutely hilarious. It's Frasier's agent. It was the episode called Eve about the clones.

Alright. Can you remember the two little girls? Two little girls as well as Gjesild. And they find out that they are actually twins.

They are actually twins. They are going to take them to a facility of a woman called Eve who was part of a clone and process with them. And they actually find out that they came from her. I was just so good and had so many twists and turns in it.

I absolutely love that episode. I actually think I watched it recently just because of how I just love it. The girls freak me out. I didn't think I had like a ball of twins, but when they do that, when they are like pewdick, identical, they generally cannot tell them apart.

That really freaks us out. I'm going to talk and see them. Yeah, that's also one of the episodes. It's just so good.

There was also one of the episodes from the new one. But I can't talk about it. It was so funny. It was just one of the funniest episodes I have ever seen and it was done with some absolute class.

Well, can you remember the episode where they were on a film set? And there was a scene where a scullie kept running and then she just kept going in a loop. And a loop. I'm not making this video.

I remember that episode. I remember that episode. I thought I was reading this. We were just on a movie set and it was a funny episode.

It was about monsters and genuine monsters. And I just remember the scene of a scullie on a set running, which kept going round and like a suck. I must go and find that episode again. It was a remember of things brilliant, but he was like my favourite.

I loved that one too. When Moulda goes on the Queen Elizabeth or something. The ship in the ship. Like Moulda or something.

He goes back in time. He ends up on that ship. And he's like an artist. He's like so old.

Yeah, it's almost like a Wizard of Oz type episode type thing. You're not seen. Oh my god. Or in it.

Can I just tell one spoiler then or not? Yeah, yeah. I'm not trying to apologize. They kiss in that episode.

But it's a different scullie. That's a different scullie. That's why. That's just a different person.

But it's so good. I love the type of episode. The last season, my husband Shanaesh. As he revisited me ex-guiles, I've heard that it's all been cleaned up on Disney plus it'd be like, that's absolutely fine.

He loves it. He loves it. Any excuses in watching it. I did not know about Disney plus I'd actually blow my mind.

Because on Amazon Prime it was always grainy. It always had that itch. Like if you watch the video of this, when you watch the series on Netflix, it's grainy. It's so grainy.

And then all of a sudden season two, it's like, money! We got money and then the cameras! So it was a RuPaul experience. Like RuPaul's back.

She's in the lens of the Vaseline. But then after that, it was all good. But that's the effect that it gives on Prime. Is that grainy look of the itch?

So I'm really pleased that he's told that it's on Disney plus all clean. Oh, I can't wait. But the only thing that threw me is again, I should've known. When I watched the first episode, it doesn't have the song.

So I was like, okay, you're looking at it. I'm going to watch this and get all the noise. And it didn't come on. I skipped it.

You know you skipped things. I was like, I want to hear the music. But now the first episode doesn't have it. So I was a bit good at about that.

But many of the pilot episodes don't have the same. Like each other. No, they don't. But they look so different in that episode.

It's crazy. Yeah, it's crazy. So you're on Disney's side. Yeah.

There's two characters that we've all gone. Sorry. I was just saying, so he's hair is long and just straight. Yeah.

And the next episode it's like gone wolf. It's like, it's alright. 90s. I got a 90s card.

And I was just going to say, there's two characters that we've not talked about. And I thought where the heartbeat of the best and second series was X. Right. Oh, yeah.

The old guy first. And then it was the black guy after that. What was it? It was an X and.

Deep. Deep. Deep. Deep.

Deep. Deep. Yeah. Because he got really irritated.

He really irritated me at the start because I know something. Yeah. Because it was just like throwing things. Because other years when I was watching, I was like, why the fuck is you not just tell him?

If he knows everything else, he's just a breadcrumbs. He's a little information. He's like, yeah. I know.

I know. I think you don't know. That's what I felt like. I can I say it's so true.

I want to get this through. I know it's a TV show and you can see you've got to think. But it's like, come meet me in this car park. I know a little bit of information.

I'm going to see it in the most cryptic way in the possible. I've taken a fall out of the social media work, what I mean. And then when I could have just told you everything out the start and you were like, oh shit, I should have done that. I generally thought you were going to be like, yeah, this will go.

I really love them characters. I didn't think it'd be like, pop another really fucking annoying. For the world, I had to think about these SNR's like things. Because most of the episodes was them telling them more than enough to do something.

So when they told me what to do something, he was going to do the opposite. So I was playing against it. But then it was the fact that I was like, I'm just going to give you this little information. But don't do anything with it.

So more than enough. More than fucking getting arrested. Milly Blown-Up-Or. I've got some kind of spaceship.

And then he's like, yeah, I should have done that. Why do you not just tell him what did you do? Yeah, that was my little sister. I was like, I was enjoying it more now.

I was like, just didn't compute my head. I couldn't work out why you didn't do one doing that. I just like a mystery. I like how mysterious they were and you can only contact them with like when you put the tape on the door of the X.

I got in door and shone the light. I was like, the bat signal. I was like, fuck yeah. This guy's cool.
