Now, are all the traitors present?

Let's get started, shall we?

From rags to riches.

I'm so sick of this.

Working like a dog and being treated worse.

Yorkshire to New York.

Poor climbers, you and me.

A life dedicated to revenge.

Let's make this an occasion to remember.

A woman of Substance on Channel 4, stream now. Hello, my friends, welcome to Five Brilliant Things,

where I sit down with fascinating people to talk about the things they love.

My guest today is Dom Jolly, he of Trigger Happy TV, many other shows and books.

We were talking about squirrels growing up in Lebanon, the importance of a good sandwich.

It's a good hang with someone that's done a lot of weird shit. So, yeah, enjoy.

This is Dom Jolly and his five brilliant things

so here we are here we are you look great thank you very much so do you

you don't look like you've aged yeah people keep saying that it's very weird i think

i'm really well doing as little work as possible um and i'm just really lucky with my hair, actually. I'm quite pleased. My hair's, now I'm getting some grey bits of grey because before people would accuse me of dying it, which really irritated me. So you were willing the grey? I was kind of, I just wanted a little bit of great. So you felt authentic? Yeah, just so I felt so I could like disprove them or just to say I had really complex, you know, hair dying regime. But also just for a bit of gravitas, gives you a little bit of gravitas. Yeah, I know you mean. Instantly it gives you that kind of like sort of cluny-esque vibe. Yeah, I mean, I'm an ex-Goth. So I'm more kind of, I'm just, I'm aging better than Robert Smith basically at the moment, because I'm going to keep my hair. As much as I love Robert Smith, I don't want to offend the goth master in any way. No, but it's, it kind of adds to the, to his allure, though, doesn't it? I don't know. He looks like he's melting. It's kind of great. I mean, I don't want to kick this off by being rude about Robert Smith because I love Robert Smith more than anything else in the world,

but I have to say, I've met him, like, you know, because I was a got got him a got got a goth community. You're never an ex-Goth. I got kicked out the goth community when I was about 21 for being slightly too cheerful, but you don't like lose it. And then I got him to do cameos in a couple of things after Trigger Happy, because I just wanted to meet him. And they were very complicated cameos that all went wrong. First time I met him when I was filming, we were filming a scene outside Maribund Registry Office, and he took me in his car from the office because I was so excited talking to him. And I was just so couldn't believe I was talking to my total hero when we got to Marlbman registry office I opened the door of his chauffeur driven car on the side of the street and a lorry just sheared the door off so of course he thought this was a trigger happy joke which it wasn't then the second time he came and did a gig on one of my shows. And then we ended up going to the pub and then we were drunk.

And then he said, oh, let's go somewhere else.
