Without wishing to sound sycophantic, it's hard to imagine a more humble talent than Garth Jennings.

We're about to discuss just a few of his many extraordinary creativeours, though on hearing our conversation,

you'd be forgiven for thinking he had next to nothing to do with any of them at all.

Don't be fooled.

Having founded production company Hammer and Tongs with Dominic Lung and Nick Goldsmith in 1993,

Garth has been instrumental in a string of iconic music videos.

Think Supergrass, Bat Boy Slim, Blur and Radiohead,

and also written and directed Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Son of Rambo and most recently Sing.

Much then to discuss, starting with Sing. A joyous, glorious animation about a group of animals who enter a singing competition.

It also boasts a fabulous score by Jobie Talbot and will play you a spot of that as Garth fills us in onerick, and thank you.

No, no, I know.

I wasn't playing hard to get.

I was literally in the wrong country.

Exactly.

But it's like we worked it out today.

Yeah, and we wanted to do it face to face as well.

Exactly. None of this like we worked it out today. Yeah, and we wanted to do it face to face as well. Exactly.

None of this ISD-in-line stuff.

No, rubbish.

It's only when you make mistakes.
