Summary

Welcome, welcome, welcome to episode 208 of the Distraction Pieces Podcast with Scroobius Pip! An ever so special acting extravaganza is your gift this week as Pip is joined by one of the greatest the UK has birthed - it’s Martin Freeman!

From those younger, earlier days where we first met Martin in his classic role as Tim in The Office, right up to the present day where we join him in the modern zombie thriller Cargo, he has held it down with skill and good choices from role to role. From Ali G, to Hitchhikers Guide, to The Hobbit and Black Panther, he and Pip manage to fit in a WHOLE lot in this condensed episode, running down the career highlights while branching out to wider subjects like art, tribalism and the reductiveness within, being the ruler of your own palace and master of your destiny, the early days to the present and all manner of other goodness for you to discover yourself! Enjoy - it’s a goody, and for Freeman fans and non-familiars alike, this will satisfy for sure.

0:00.0	Welcome, welcome, welcome. This is the distraction pieces podcast episode 208.
0:06.6	How are you guys? Thank you for, uh, for tuning in. Great. Yes, this week. I didn't want to mention it
0:14.7	last week because I hadn't recorded it yet and it was a touch and go if I could get any time with
0:19.7	the gentleman. Um, it's with Martin Freeman, who I'm a big fan of and I put to him at the start of
0:26.4	the interview that he is arguably the most successful British actor of all time, which some of you
0:33.2	will be hearing that and scoffing or turning your nose up. Why just have a listen in that intro
0:40.4	bit and and tell me I've not got a decent argument there. I only could grab half an hour with Martin
0:47.6	but it was a great half hour, I think. As I've said before, I turned down an awful lot of, um,
0:53.2	of press junkets because if they can't give me enough time, I don't think it works. In this instance,
1:00.2	we were looking like we were going to be able to get 45 minutes, which is fine by me. I know I normally
1:04.9	do 60 or 90, but 45 is is a good time as well. Um, and that at the last minute got cut down to 30
1:12.5	sadly. Um, again, testament to how busy the gentleman is. So I was excited to get any time. But, um,
1:17.8	yeah, I think it really worked and you'll be pleased that it's only 30 minutes when you hear that
1:24.8	next week is the return of the drunk cast, which is normally at least three hours up to, I think the
1:32.5	longest was just over five hours. So it's plenty to come. And obviously last week was a double
1:38.0	about three hours worth with the angle's 10th anniversary special. Um, yeah, it was great to get
1:45.3	to talk to Martin. Um, if this is your first time tuning in, feel free to have a bit of a
1:50.0	browse of the back catalog. Previous guests include Simon Pegg who after we'd finished recording us
1:56.2	talking to Martin. And he was saying that Simon was the first, was the person who first played
2:03.2	my music to Martin or told Martin about me. So that was nice to know that Martin even knows who I am.
2:11.6	It's always a pleasant surprise. So yeah, previous guests include Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
2:17.1	What have a good British actors should I sling in the in the mentioned there are comedians as well.
