"Let me say, he is such a down to earth guy, he's just so real" "We had a good time I had a great time" "I know a lot of people are saying that but we really really did get along well" "I can't believe you persuaded me to do these things, they're not even selling apparently cause they're embarrassing... loads are lying around in bargain bins for ages." "Cheap tat" "Well yeah but they cut the prices to try and shift a few but the good thing is that because they all so cheap to manufacture, we still get paid 40 p a time... cause they're made in sweat shops." "Oh, thanks god for the exploitation of 10 years old children" "Absolutely."

"No You see, I think you should be on the top of the world" "What does it get each week?" "Seven million viewers?" "Six." "Six." "Seven million viewers watch your show every week because they respond to what you do and the reviews..." "I don't listen to the reviews No-one's down the pub talking about reviews, they're talking about your sitcom" "And you know what?" "there'll always gonna be people who don't like what you do." "0h, yeah" "So what ?" "If someone shouts "You're a wanker" you go, "Oh Yeah, look at my sports car"" "If they shout, "You're still a tosser!" say, "Really, interesting, How many catchphrases have you come up with?""

"I don't think he ever worked for a company" "He has, he worked part time at the car phone warehouse" "Look, I don't know the guy Why would you, you're in the business?" "I don't want to disrespect him, but business is business and if there's any deadwood in your organisation, you have got to get rid of it" "It may seem harsh but life's cruel and no one's gonna help your career but you" "I'm an extra, and I love Clive Owen, can I get a part in that Byron film?" "That's alright, she's asking." "Well done" "Consider it done My card" "And seriously, if I can be of any help, call me, we'll sit down" "Sorry for interrupting your meal It's all right 0h, catch of the day, Dover sole, it is superb Have a great lunch."

"I am pulling back" "What exactly is your plan?" "What are you actually intending to do now?" "Just you pull back" "Did you learn nothing in the fame academy, all right?" "Power is not everything, you just need to be subtle." "Don't sing everything like it's bloody Mustang Sally" "OK, Clive..." "You, over here, please" "Quickly, quick sharp, yep, yep" "OK, so Byron's just spent the night with a prostitute." "All right" "As he leaves in the morning, I thought he could just turn, and then throw the money on the floor with contempt and then say your line, "Thank you for your hospitality"" "Yeah, I'm not very happy with this." "I know it's a bit aggressive, but it's just a character point." "No, I mean this one been a prostitute" "I wouldn't pay for that" "Right..." "It's gotta be a better one than this" "Clive, seriously, they sent me a truckload of absolute hogs and this is the very best one" "Really?" "Yeah Jesus..." "I don't want to be difficult, it's just that I would never pay for a prostitute that looked like that" "No way Right..." "What if she wasn't a prostitute, if she was just a slut, so it was free?" "Yeah, I still could do better, though" "OK, what if she is a prostitute, but you refuse to pay?" "OK, so you don't throw money on the floor, you just...throw food and you make her eat it like a dog" "Well, I'm telling you." "If I'd slept with that I wouldn't throw food on the floor, I'd throw it in her face" "OK, what food would you throw?" "Cause I've got to get props on to that" "It should be some kind of gruel as if I've found some oats on the stable floor, mix it with shit and like, wet cabbage" "What would be great is like when it claps into her face it just sort of looks like a rancid cowpat." "OK" "No, I like that, I like that..." "Can we get the shit and the dung and the cabbage together" "Make sure it sticks to the face..." "It will." "OK, let's try that then, please" "OK, for rehearsal then..." "Excuse me" "I'm not happy with that" "Sorry?" "I'm not happy with that." "I don't want the dung on my face" "You get extra money, don't you worry about that." "Don't care." "Not bothered, I just don't want to do it, full stop Right, OK, you either do it, or you go home" "Ok..."

"I'm gonna get tough with them and we'll get this sorted for the next series" "I don't think I want to do another series." "I've been thinking of knocking this on the head..." "With the right management behind you, there's a lot of money to be made" "I don't care." "I'm not proud." "I want to do bigger and better" "I'm not proud of having Britain's no1 catchphrase Is there an Oscar for that?" "No" "No, but they are thinking of introducing a British Comedy Award for it" "Of course they are" "Look, I want to hold my head up" "To me, saying you've got Britain's no1 catchphrase is like saying you've got Britain's no1 wasting disease" "You're not Britain's no1 catchphrase any more." "I'm not?" "You're not no1 anymore" "Good." "To be totally..." "Who's number one?" "0h, it's..."Am I bowered?"" "What am I, no2 or something?" "No. no2 is, "You are the weakest link, goodbye."" "Then no3 is "You're having a laugh?"" "In at no3, it changes depending on what survey you are doing" "What survey is that?" "It's a survey of 8 to 11 year olds" "Well, if they want catchphrases I'll give 'em catchphrases" "I don't get it." "Is he having a laugh?" "I need a man !" "Join the queue" "Oh, bugger me!"

"No, they said they'll call back" "I don't mind calling them." "I said you'd be back about two, It's ten to now so just wait for them to call" "I'll wait until just after two, if they haven't called, give them a bell yeah" "It's an 0800 number, so...free It's free" "Anything else, any other..." "Yes, Andy new agent called" "Andy's fired you and gone with a new bloke so you're no longer to have any dealings with him whatsoever" "Sorry, I was thinking about free evening and weekend calls What were you saying?" "Andy Millman, he's fired you" "What do you mean he's fired me?" "Well, you no longer Andy Millman's agent, so..." "Why are you telling me this now?" "Why did you tell me the BT stuff first?" "Because I'm doing it in chronological order" "I was excited about the BT stuff, now I'm depressed" "I didn't know that if I'd said, number one, Andy's fired you and number two, BT has offered you a generous new tariff, the good news would have been soured by the bad news anyway I didn't know what to do for the best" "He's fired me?" "Let me ask you this..." "Where do you want to be in 5 years of time?" "Sat in a Hollywood mansion watching my butler polish my Oscar" "It's good, thinking big, nothing wrong with that" "But first things first, what I'll need you to concentrate on is..." "Excuse me" "Yeah Richard Curtis for you" "Does he wanna talk about Africa again?"

"You're single aren't you?" "Yeah Good" "Good, so firstly what we want you to do is be seen coming out of clubs and restaurants with some newsworthy trollops" "You shagged any of those tabloid beauties?" "no" "Not even that?"

"Look at that..." "That's good, isn't it?" "That's like James Bond or something" "From Russia with love" "Live And Let Die" "I can't put anything underneath that, can I?" "Yeah, of course you can, coffee table or what not just move it before you go to bed" "What, every single night?"

"We had to use look-alikes for some of them" "They will be sorry, though when it gets number one And we'll get number one so let's not slag it off before it's saved some Ethiopians" "You in a hurry?" "0h, no, no, sorry, I've got another interview to get to" "I'm a little nervous actually Why, for meeting me?" "No, god no." "Have you seen the Byron film?" "Yeah" "I'm interviewing Greg Lindley Jones" "Why are you nervous about meeting him?" "He's got such a sort of brooding intensity, he's like a young Richard Burn" "Young Richard Simon more like" "Well, I'm not slagging him off but let's not..." "Mr. Millman, the phone call has just come in" "Oh, who is it?" "Is it Wiggly Scott?" "Ridley Scott, yeah." "The award winning director of Gladiator and Blade Runner" "What does he want?" "Cheers." "Sorry about this" "Hey, Ridley, I can't talk now, I'm out with a journal." "Say hello from me." "what?" "We know each other from Cannes." "Say hello from me." "Emily Whitford" "Emily Whitford" "What's he say?" "Nothing" "Ask him how is ankle is." "He'll laugh Will he?" "How's your ankle?" "Is he laughing?" "sort of" "Let me speak to him What?" "Let her speak to him Let me speak to him" "Hold on, All right" "Oh, what's he done?" "Hung up?" "Why is he done that." "Sorry about that, cheers" "Can I ask you a few questions?" "What about?" "I'm not very good at general knowledge" "No, about working for Andy" "Probably not a good idea" "Also, if you are in a hurry..." "Cheers for that, it was..." "So how long have you worked for Andy?" "3 hours No, think 3 hours?" "no" "What is she talking about?" "Just be honest, come on" "3 ears" "No, 3 years" "Yeah, that's make more sense Certainly" "And what's he like as a boss?" "A wanker no..." "He's a wanker?" "No, she didn't mean that" "Listen, listen, listen to her" "He plays darts, all the time" "I love darts." "I don't know why, I've just I've always wanted to be like Eric Bristow" "Is she actually your P.A.?" "Is she..." "Is she actually your P.A.?" "Who?" "That's lady there, is she actually your P.A.?" "Sorry, I don't know what do you mean by actually" "Well, do you employ her?" "Employ is a strong term Strong in what term?" "In a sense that it's a bit weird to ask someone about their PA when they are being interviewed" "Well, it's just a clarification, really." "About the article" "She said she's my PA, you've seen me get along with it, so based on that what assessment are you trying to make?" "Well, I get the impression she's not your P.A." "Opposite impression that I would want, from this..." "Did Ridley Scott actually phoned you earlier?" "According to her, are you calling her a liar?" "So he'll remember phoning you, will he?" "If I speak to him later" "What's his memory like?" "You know him better than me But you spoke to him earlier on the phone, didn't you?" "Yeah, couldn't hear him" "But you were relaying my messages to him Yeesss" "Yes, well done, and I am saying now, admitting I couldn't hear a word" "Could you just answer the question - is she your PA?" "No, it's a joke." "Of course she's pretending, it's a wind-up" "It's just something we always do to journalists" "You always do?" "What do you mean by always?" "Do you need a P.A. in real life Andy?" "No" "Cause I can do with the money" "Should I pack then?" "Yep, may as well" "Bought that as a gift for Andy" "Didn't want it, wasn't interested" "Should have known then something was brewing." "How about these?" "Nothing in 'em, just put 'em up there in case the local kids run by and peer in and shout insults" "Kids can be cruel" "Yeah, they can" "What do they say?" "You know what they say" "Lanky four-eyed twat?" "Yeah" "Weirdo goggle-eyed gimp?" "Sometimes" "Frankenstein's albino gonk?" "I never heard that one" "It's so easy to have a go at a bloke who looks like you, you're just easy pickings" "Sheep shagger they said sometimes as well" "I thought sheep shagger was Welsh?" "No, it can be Bristol as well" "I thought Bristol was inbreeding" "Sheep shagging, inbreeding, slavery, we're famous for loads of stuff down there alright" "Barry?" "yeah" "Could do with a hug, mate" "Yeah" "Queers Ignore him" "Show me the money" "So, "When the Whistle Blows", the BBC are begging for a Christmas Special..." "No" "What do you mean no?" "I don't want to do it anymore" "You'll be mad to say no I don't care, that's it, I want to do Hollywood films or TV, but cool TV, American TV" "We've got cool TV over here, I've got offers" "Alright, do you want to be an alien, in doctor who?" "No" "They offered you a guest part in Hotel Babylon" "What part of "cool" don't you understand?" "Alright, well, we've had a movie offer" "Buddy film Oh..." "No, no listen, it's a comedy, starring Rob Schneider as a horny deliveryman who looks exactly like the Prime Minister" "Rob will be playing both parts" "Get me a Hollywood film." "Andy, with all due respect, I really don't think Martin Scorsese is gonna be sitting in his London hotel room flicking through the channels going," "I've never seen this bloke before, shouting "You having a laugh?" but I think I've got a wig that will fit him" "Why would you say that to me?" "Because you have chosen a very specific path" "I want to get off it." "If that's what it takes to get respect, then definitely I'm gonna finish it" "I don't want to come up with more wacky characters , shouting catchphrases to appeal to kids and morons" "I want to do something credible." "I might want to direct one day and I'm not gonna get respect like this, so I'm finishing the sitcom" "That's mad, that's killing a cash cow" "I'm ending the sitcom, there you go done" "Alright, yeah, you could do that or you could think people are still watching let's milk it" "If people are stupid enough to keep on watching it, let's keep on giving it to them" "They've seen it all before" "They've seen everything, every sketch, slightly rewritten, every character" "They've heard every catchphrase shouted a thousand times Yes... but, have they seen an episode set in Spain?" "It's great, thanks" "Excuse me" "Sorry to bother you" "I'm an extra, but I'm an actor, really and I know you've been in my position and" "I just wonder if there is a line or a few lines you need someone to do" "I'll really appreciate the opportunity" "I'm not really involved with casting What's your name?" "Phil" "I will have a word with the floor manager, if anything comes up, I'll put a word in for you" "Thank you, sorry to bother you That's all right" "Why do the extras are coming to me?" "sorry?" "Why are the extras waving out and bothering me?" "why are they not in their paddock or wherever you keep 'em?" "I think they sort of look up to you were in their boat a while ago" "Alright, so I'll sit down with them and reminisce about old times?" "or should I go on with my job, that pays their wages and yours?" "Sorry, I didn't realize" "I'll tell him, not to do it again" "No, he won't do it again, cause I won't be around again" "Okay Yeah?" "Hey, my man" "Hello there, Darren Lamb." "I'm here to see Andy Millman, star of "When the wind blows"" "It's "The whistle" Yes, if I could just..." "Do you have a pass?" "No, I'm a friend of his, I'll just go..." "There is no problem" "I can't let anyone in without a pass no?" "We are friends but we've had a bit of a falling out" "I don't want to hassle you with it, but if I could just..." "I can't help you, sorry sir Okay, that's all right" "Thanks a lot" "What's happened?" "I think we both know what's happened, don't we, really What's happened is I've tried to jump over the barrier and that ain't panned out as I had hoped and so if you just let me free, I'll go home and say nothing more about it, we'll both have a lovely Christmas." "That sounds like a plan don't it?" "What are you doing?" "Mate, I know this woman They won't let me in" "You have not got a pass?" "No, I'm just trying to get and see Andy every time I've tried to phone him, he's always on voice mail" "Can she just walk me in?" "Not without a pass" "It's all about a pass with you, innit?" "Can I get him a pass" "Yeah, why not" "I'm gonna get a pass from Andy" "Wait there Cheers" "Ooh, There you are" "Andy, I've just seen Darren up there" "And he says he can't get in" "And why are you telling me?" "Well, he says I keeps trying to call you but your phone's switched off" "No, it's not." "I just don't answer when I see it's him" "Can we not just get him a pass and he can sit up in the back?" "I don't want him in here" "I know, but I told him I would get him in" "Well, you lied" "He says he really wants to see you" "Life's cruel" "So I've got to go and tell him he can't get in?" "And Maggie..." "You can't keep coming up to me" "I can't what?" "You can't keep coming up and talk to me in front of the other extras" "They see you, they go "Oh, she's an extra, she's his equal, maybe we're his equal"" "I'm not an extra Not, you were" "And so were you" "I'm a little bit busy" "alright?" "Andy can't get you a pass" "He said he's really sorry and, that he will love to have you in there but he just...can't bend the rules, fire regulations or something" "That makes sense." "I imagine the fire regulations are quite strict at the BBC, aren't they?" "Alright well, thanks for trying" "It's okay" "Nice to see you again You too, bye" "Oh, It's good to be back" "But what a perfect holiday and everything has worked out brilliantly" "It certainly has, I'm getting married to the man of my dreams" "I got that promotion I wanted" "And ever since Gobbler fell off that donkey, he's not been the same" "Indeed not," "As Confucius once said, "They must often change, who would be constant in happiness and wisdom"" "I don't get it" "Brains is so much happier now that he's out of the closet" "Oh, I am" "In fact, last night I went on a wonderful date with a lovely man, he took me to a sea food restaurant, fed me my favourite meal" "Fist you?" "No, he certainly did not" "It was our first date" "I didn't mean "did he fi..", I meant, are you having a laugh?" "Is he having a laugh?" "Now he gets it" "Oh I get it" "I'm getting it We're all getting it" "Merry Christmas to everyone" "Thank you" "Thank you very much I love you Andy !" "Thank you" "You having a laugh?" "Well, not actually" "Which is why this will be the last ever episodes of "When the whistle blows"" "Well, I'll never have to wear this stupid wig again" "Truth be told, it's gone on for... far too long, I think three series should be enough for everyone" "I don't get it!" "Obviously, not enough for some people" "Andy, why are you stopping the show?" "Because, it's not what I wanted to do" "You know, with my life... shout a catchphrase to a load of morons for a livings no, euh... well, don't..." "Merry Christmas" "Thank you very much" "Who the hell do you think you are?" "You've just announced to the audience you are quitting the show without even consulting us, without even telling us It's nothing to do with you, is it?" "What do you mean, it has nothing to do with us?" "If I want to stop, that's it" "No, it's the lack of professionalism, Andy, it's the arrogance..." "Oh, oh, When I first got into this, you were the great "I am" holding me to ransom the shoe was on the other foot and now you don't like it, do you?" "No, I don't" "Well if I want to stop, I'll stop." "I want to do other stuff, alright, I want to move on" "Live with it, you stay here if you want, scrambling around, chasing ratings but I want to do something else" "It's a really interesting way of looking at things, after everything that we done for you" "Oh..." "life's cruel Yes, it can be, good luck and, eh, you've got lots of things lined up, have you?" "Don't worry about me The phone won't stop ringing" "Tre Cooper, please" "Andy Millman" "Yeah, good, right, listen to this." "What's hot?" "Greg Lindley Jones, who charmed the nation this week on Desert Island Discs with a stream of hilarious anecdotes that recalled the great Peter Ustinov at his best" "What's not?" "Andy Millman." "Are we having a laugh?" "For about five minutes we were, but Andy Millman's Christmas special hit an all-time low" "The jokes were filthier than Mrs. Slocombe's pussy with no new projects on the horizon, Millman is fast becoming as out of date as his gags" "Aren't you meant to get me some decent work?" "I mean, I quit the show three weeks ago" "Excuse me, is it okay if I go?" "It's nearly half past" "OK, see you tomorrow." "Thanks" "Hi" "Where have you been, you're late" "Sorry" "Look at this worst table" "I'm just happy to be sitting down" "Oh, look, it's your friend, Vernon Kay" "Vernon" "Hey, Donnie Millman Andy" "See you later What?" "If he's forgetting my name, how the hell is he going to read an autocue?" "Look at this, the Guardian stitched me up" "There's a whiff of desperation about Andy Millman" "Our entire interview was more bizarre than an episode of "When the whistle blows"" "Every answer he gave sounded like he was reading from a press release, full of boasts, hyperbole and the occasional bare-faced lie" "He seems desperate for the headline to be "All's well in the Millman camp, next stop Hollywood"" "This is gonna be a fun lunch then Hein?" "It's just we never seem to have a laugh any more" "When you had nothing and we were both extras, we had more of a laugh" "No, we didn't, I hated it, it was shit" "Okay" "I was always moaning You're always moaning now" "You moan about the Ray dolls but they did buy you a house that overlooks Hampstead Heath" "You moan about the sitcom that it gets six million viewers but it's the wrong six million" "But at least it gets six million viewers" "At least you've accomplished something, even if it's not exactly what you wanted" "I've accomplished nothing" "I have brought nothing...to the world" "Look at that" "Harold Pinter and his wife, having lunch with Geri Halliwell" "Why am I not over there?" "I don't know, do you like Geri Halliwell?" "no no...why am I not having lunch with Harold Pinter and his wife?" "Well, I'm sorry you stuck at this table, then" "What?" "I'm not sure you should actually even come here, this place just seems to annoy you" "You're always saying, he's got an acting part that you wanted or he's got credibility and he doesn't deserve it" "If you worry about things like that you're, you're never going to be happy, no matter how successful you are" "You'll never be famous enough" "Thank you doctor Freud, nice conversation" "What would you rather be?" "A penguin that can't fly but it swims around in the water like a fish but it is a bird or a flying fish that can fly but is essentially still just a fish..." "Oh Maggie, I can't do these stupid questions anymore" "Seriously, we're grown ups" "Ah, Andy Millman, you probably want to turn to page 17, a rather perceptive interview with yours truly the one that says "Next stop Hollywood"" "I've seen it, nice photo Thank you" "Thank you, yes, apparently, I have a brooding intensity" "Anyway, I'm going to love you and leave you" "Don't let him have a pudding, we don't want him bursting out all over the place" "Do you want me to sign that?" "No, we're alright man, cheers" "There is no one else in there" "No, it's all right, leave it, yeah" "Well, you'll never get it filled" "All right?" "How's it going?" "just getting lunch" "What have you gone for?" "Yeah, "Filet au fish"" "Alright, yeah" "It's good and tasty" "Good for you, isn't it, fish?" "Yeah, you're meant to have two portions a week, or?" "Yeah, it's got fatty acids, which are very good for you apparently and omega" "It's good" "Are you alright?" "Good, yeah Excellent" "I'd better crack on" "Darren, what you doing?" "It's quarter past two." "Yes, all right, calm down, mate, you're not the boss of me, he's not the boss." "Alright, Andy?" "Yeah You were due back 15 minutes ago" "Yeah, alright, keep your hair transplant on, I'm coming in, aren't I?" "See you later" "See you later" "You alright?" "Yeah, good." "Good" "No hard feelings, you know?" "No, sure" "I needed someone to further my career..." "We all know, you know, he wasn't the best agent in the world, you know, but he was loyal yeah.." "and he tries hard yeah..." "Be careful mate Fame is a mask that eats...into the face" "Barry, can you stop nattering, please?" "Dean's got a question for you" "Did you tell someone the Nokia 8600 came with..." "Oh, hello, mate, "Are you having a laugh?"" "I thought you were lying when you used to go on about him all the time." "I didn't used to go on about him all the time, I didn't mention him..." "See you later yeah" "Were you really his agent once?" "yes" "I need a new agent why?" "Because I'm working in Carphone Warehouse" "I quit the show five months ago" "I'm sat here like a lemon, you're not getting me anything" "No, I told you a thousand times, I'm not gonna play an alien in Doctor Who" "Don't do it, Schlong!" "You leave me no alternative, Doctor" "What's happening to us?" "He's hyper-podulating" "He's using his molluscian glang valves to internally vibrulate our DNA" "What does that mean?" "It means we'll both turn into slugs in about 30 seconds" "Unless I can reach that sodium chloride" "What's sodium chloride?" "You probably know it as table salt" "Tre Copper" "Andy Millman" "Okay, do you know where he is?" "Andy Millman..." "Tell him to call me" "Cheers" "It's Andy Millman again" "Can you get him to call me please?" "I've been calling every day for two weeks, he's never there, where is he?" "Snowboarding..." "No, I told him." "I don't want to do Hotel Babylon" "No, I'll tell you what, I am going to see him today because he's my agent and he takes 12.5% of my wages, OK?" "right?" "Yeah, and if he really is at lunch, where is he?" "Please tell me where he is." "Thank you" "I think you've made a very wise and informed decision, if you don't mind my saying" "Good little phone, fun ringtone as well on there, I've actually got the same one" "You can see that will be enjoyable...with your friends so, just pop your card in there if you would" "enter PIN" "And don't let him see your number" "Libellous" "Just let it phone his girlfriend" "That should be it, extract" "Deano, a Motorola Accessory Pack, s'il vous plait" "Sure, Shauny" "Thar she blows" "I thank you" "Enjoy" "Nice lady Yeah" "Hi, you alright?" "How's it going, do you need a phone or something?" "no" "I need some work, really any jobs going?" "Not really, no, I mean, aside from the intensive training needed, we are a bit overstaffed as well" "I think the only way there would be a vacancy is if one of these guys got an acting job" "Or if one of us dies" "That's more likely" "Statistically, yes" "So, no room at the at the inn" "Are you alright?" "Need tissues" "Don't worry" "I'm sure something will turn up" "It's not about the job" "It's everything, really" "I just wasted my life" "I haven't done anything" "I haven't seen anything, I haven't...been anywhere" "I've never even left the country" "I haven't even been abroad" "I'm just living on my own...in one room...with no money and I can't even get a job at the Carphone Warehouse" "That's not true" "It's true" "It's true at this branch, but you know, there are other branches particularly the ones in rougher areas" "They're always desperate for staff, because the ones they've got are always being assaulted or stabbed, sometimes in the face" "sorry yeah" "Hi, where are you?" "No, nowhere" "Can you meet me at the Ivy, ASAP" "I'm trying to track down my agent." "Honestly, he's worst than Darren, he was useless but at least, I knew where he was" "Why do you need me there?" "Cause it's the Ivy" "I don't want to go in by myself, I would look like a complete loser" "Can you meet me or not?" "Em, Okay" "Good, see you later Um Um" "I have to go" "Okay, sorry" "Thanks for your help" "I've had a piece of that" "Have you?" "Yeah" "He's a bit of a player, ain't he?" "It was one date" "Alright, Barry Yeah but one date is enough though, ain't it?" "You know it !" "Nothing happened !" "You told me." "You said you blocked the toilet up and she left" "Yes and that was for your ears only Thank you very much" "That's my mom...she's ill..." "Mom, hello..." "She's gone" "You alright?" "I'm having a bit of a nightmare if the truth to be told" "Tell me about it, I can't get a hold of this agent" "I had to do Doctor Who, Hotel Babylon, just to get my profile up" "Now he wants me to do Robin Hood." "I can't even get him on the phone" "Sounds like you had it tough Nightmare" "Apart from all the TV work, you're doing alright, are you?" "Yeah" "Yes sir Hi, we haven't booked" "We're very busy today, sir" "Andy Millman, I..." "Yes, you should have booked ahead really" "It's usually all right Sorry" "Andy Millman Hey" "You all right?" "Very all right, Sir, Byron number one" "UK box office, number two in the United States of America one lucky" "I'm off round Europe next week to promote the old film" "What about you?" "Oh great, good, yeah" "You got lots on?" "Mental, Just saying, I was...yeah" "I saw you as a slug in Doctor Who, very convincing" "It's a space serpent, yeah" "What's our agent like though?" "Can't get ahold of him, has he gone AWOL?" "Hiding from the tax man?" "I hope he hasn't, I'm having lunch with him" "You're having lunch with him?" "I wouldn't bother, it just goes straight to the voicemail" "Tre, yeah, oh, you're here, I'm outside." "I'll come straight in" "Alright mate" "Something's wrong with this The signal, these girders...sometimes it..." "It's weird how things pan out?" "He's more famous than you are now" "Why would you say that?" "Why do you say that to me?" "He's not more famous than me, not amongst my demographic." "So don't talk about things you don't understand" "Alright That's bollocks" "Gordon?" "Yep?" "Hiya." "You all right?" "Andy Millman" "Yeah" "You all right?" "..." "Yeah...." "Can't you have a word, can you?" "I'm just leaving" "No, no, you're in the industry, if you just have a word and they'll let me through" "I can't You can't or won't?" "Won't Oh" "At least nip to the kitchen and make me a cheese sandwich." "You cook!" "Cock?" "!" "Haven't you had enough cheese sandwiches fat boy You pound puppy-faced git" "You catchphrase shouting, wig-wearing wannabe" "You publicity hungry, failed footballing fuck" "You're a has been, go home" "You think you're hard don't you cause you shout at people in kitchens." "Who works in kitchens?" "Ooh, women and gays, ooh and the French." "Ooh you're well hard" "Let's just leave it there, shall we?" "yeah?" "I don't want to get into a fight." "I've heard your girdle could explode at any minute" "You fuck, I was gonna..." "Come on, let's just go" "No, I'm gonna wait here and wait for him to come out." "If I can't go through there for five minutes?" "I'm sorry" "Well, can we at least have a drink at the bar?" "Do you want a drink?" "Not really no" "No, got something better to do?" "no" "I'm going home Where you going?" "Home" "Don't leave me here by myself, come on" "Where is my home?" "What?" "Where do I live?" "You moved" "Yeah, where to?" "You want the exact address?" "No, just the area" "What am I, your postman?" "No, you're my friend" "Look, I'll see you Oh, come on" "Oh, for fuck s..." "Tre !" "Excuse me" "What are you doing?" "What are YOU doing?" "You haven't returned any of my calls" "Yeah, funny enough, there's not been that much since you told the BBC to piss off" "There's other channels, aren't there?" "You're meant to generate work for me, you're my agent" "Yeah, well, I can't magic things out of thin air" "They either want you or they don't" "Life's cruel" "And to be honest with you, I've been up to my eyeballs with my other clients..." "Guilty as charged." "Yeah..." "What about me?" "Alright, listen to me Andy" "I can't help you because I don't know what it is that you want" "Every time you come in my office, it's something different" "One day it's all about not selling out, being an artist" "Next day, you just want your face in the paper" "What do you want?" "Do you want to be a famous movie star or do you want to be the tortured genius creating great art?" "Look, do you want fame and fortune?" "or do you want integrity and respect?" "Both right," "Well, there is only a few people in this world who have both those things" "You will never be one of them" "What do you want?" "Rich and famous and on the TV right okay then" "Will you do the stuff you keep turning down?" "yes" "Comedy panel shows?" "yes" "You know you will have to make your carefully written jokes look ad-libbed?" "Yes, I know how they work" "Ooo" "Thick club" "Good, yeah, this is great" "I'd much rather have a client that will do anything to get on television than someone who goes, "I don't want to do that" or "It's beneath me"" "Ooh, hold on" "There is one other thing I'll have to pull some strings" "Pull them" "Last night, the celebrity housemates arrived in the Big Brother house" "Hi, hello...hiya" "Hi Lisa Scott Lee."

"Well, someone must have stolen it." "Where from?" "From the flat" "You probably put it on the open window sill next to the apple pie that was cooling down, some ruffians came by, they've put it straight on the internet" "I'm glad they did though because the lad mags called and said "Hey, wa saw those, we thought they looked great in motion, do they look as good still?"" "And they did." "So they put them in the magazines and luckily $£%µ was reading one of them and..." "You went out with $£%µ for a while, didn't you?"
