Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Sian Clifford & Brett Gelman Talk Season 2 Of "Fleabag"

- "Fleabag" is a hilarious and poignant window into the mind of a dry-witted, sexual, angry, grief-riddled woman, as she hurls herself at modern living in London. Award-winning playwright Phoebe Waller-Bridge writes and stars as Fleabag, an unfiltered woman trying to heal, while rejecting anyone who tries to help her and keeping up her bravado all along. Creator/star Phoebe Waller-Bridge and co-stars Sian Clifford, Brett Gelman joined BUILD to discuss season 2 of the show.

When the priest was able to "see" the camera, i felt exposed..
• That’s exactly how I felt!
I got a bit of a shock and rewatched every instance when he looked directly into the camera, just to make sure haha
totally! I had a little gasp
Agreed. Me too
that was one of the greatest stylistic choices ever!
Fleabag is the sort of programme that comes around maybe once or twice in a lifetime. There is nothing else like it. Phoebe deserves all the praise and all the rewards and even though she says she won't bring it back, I really really hope she does.
aquablushgirl 100th like 😁
Try ‘Flowers’
It will be great to see Fleabag and Mrs. Maisel go head to head in the comedy category at the Emmys. Both are phenomenally well done!!
Actually it is the same format as chewing gum.
Try Pulling... it's also a BBC show
Fun fact: Phoebe fought to cast Sian as Claire, the producers wanted a more well known actress but Phoebe refused
Thank God, I couldn’t imagine anyone else as Claire. Her comedic timing is just excellent.
@@candidlyopinionated19 and she did look like a pencil (with that haircut) :)
source?
I actually can’t imagine anyone else playing Claire
@@NikolayIskrev i saw it somewhere that she doesn't look but emits pencil energy and i mist agree with it more 😂😂😂
I'm NOT surprised that Sian and Phoebe have known each other for years. Their chemistry and wordless understanding is one of the reasons I'm watching the show for the third time.
"There's so much room for failure without embarassement". That really shows how much of a great leader Phoebe is.
That stuck with me too.
Can we get (at least) an hour long conversation with Phoebe and Andrew Scott please please please :)
Her hair just keeps falling in this chic way 💗
Sheek*
That line cracks me up every time!
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is a bloody genius and I'll fight anyone to claim otherwise! I don't think I've ever been so curious about the future of anyone's career. She has a marvelous mind and I'm completely sure there's a lot more moving, relatable, and hilarious stuff coming from her.
The way she breaks the 4th wall, where it finds its way back into the scene and influences the communication between the characters is a work of pure genius - fans will know what I'm talking about.
I discover the 4th wall breaking with house of cards (pretty late), PWB is on another level tho!!
Buster Keaton and Laurel & Hardy used to break the fourth wall regularly. Shakespeare's use of soliloquies did the same centuries before. It's a relatively good television show which is clearly well written, nothing more or less. Its constant deification is quite frankly baffling.
The good artists copy, great artists steal.
@Maya Patel if you think Miranda was even close time of the first. Then......I don't know what to say. But even so Phoebe's use is completely different and more nuanced.
@Maya Patel OP didn't say Phoebe pioneered the technique. Being the first at doing something doesn't make them the best. Phoebe has masterfully reinvented this common technique and OP was referring to that.
Everyone was great but I think Sian Clifford was just impeccable her performance was so real bravo to Sian!
I think fleabag is the most well written show I've ever seen
Watched the whole interview waiting for Phoebe to look at the camera lol
21:14
Praise be the timestamp.
1. Didn't realise Fleabag was on Amazon in the US? Just would have assumed it would have been BBC America.
2. My favourite thing of the whole series is the relationship between the sisters. It just feels so relatable, in that they obviously have such history which weighs down every conversation they have. That feelings where your family are both always there for you, but also always let you down in exactly the way you knew they would. I love it, it's a joy to watch.
We get lots and lots and lots of British TV shows on streaming services like Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Hulu. BBC America only airs a tiny fraction of what are probably the "biggest" shows in the UK, or shows specifically made for BBC America. PBS is another station that plays a lot of British shows on Masterpiece Theatre.
I love how Claire says "Phoebe is the least egotistical person I know" and then the camera cuts to the studio and they're just sitting under a massive poster of her as God XD
I'm drunk back from a pop quiz night at a pub, watching this and I just love these people, this show. I love all of them. She's such a good writer.
Love the little anecdote you threw there. Hope the pop quiz night was riveting.
how did you do on the quiz? :) did you win?
That moment at around 14:45 where Brett mentions that Phoebe changed the script because it was the wrong character's voice, that shows a skilled writer.
I've seen plenty of shows with really clever dialogue, but you don't get the distinctness of voice between the different characters. They all kind of speak in the writer's voice.
Superb writer, actor and superb series. The sister relationship is one of the most amazing things ever. Brilliant acting.
Fleabag made me examine the way I love and care for the people close to me in my own life. It helps me accept their flaws and love their flaws because it’s a part of who they are. Really amazing, big fan!! ❤️❤️❤️
Sian acting was golden
I really saw my family in fleabag's family. I have a complicated relationship with my 2 brothers, mainly with my big sister, and she reminded me of Claire, or more specifically, they way I see her and our relationship is how fleabag sees her sister. It's a love hate relationship. Also, her dad is exactly my dad, afraid to talk about anything meaningful and emotional. I do get the feeling that he loves me, but maybe do not like me. I really love my family, but I can't stand them sometimes . The show captures this essence of family, the group of people that you might not like but you definitely love with all your heart.
Wow well said
I look like a pencil!
Villanelle V 😂😂😂😂 And she really did look like a pencil! 😂😂😂
Do you have a favorite collaborative moment between you and Phoebe?
SIan : Phoebe is an uncompromising artist. She’s always improving as we go along, even in a script where I genuinely can’t fathom how it can be improved. My favorite moment is when she came up with the line for Claire, “I look like a pencil.” It was only our second day filming and we were in a tent outside and someone was fiddling with my costume. I can still see this image of Phoebe sprinting across the park where we were filming, and she gets to me and says, “What about, I look like a pencil?!” We have a unique way of working together because we trust each other so much. She’ll experiment with me a lot because, having gone through drama school together, we’re not embarrassed to fail or make mistakes in front of one another.

No its just modern
It’s chic.
Claire, it's french!
The first season was already great but the second one is better and it's not even really close, probably the best season of anything I've seen in a while
Same
Just finished the show and it’s just GORGEOUS. I’m sad that it’s ended but at the same time happy that it exists, that we have this uncorrupted gem, only two seasons, but perfect in their own way.
The interviewer is so good! I just hate it when interviewers seem to know nothing about films or the project!
And interrupt.
Everything this woman touches, it turns into gold.
she is so damn talented, one of a kind, I’m so interested in what the future will bring to her
US audiences are up for a treat! This aired in the UK and it was better than the first season. If she doesn't receive awards for this would be criminal.
This is by far one of the best series I know
so weird to see Sian smile
please watch this show!!! It made me laugh and cry best show i've seen in agesss!!!!
I’m American and think Fleabag is brilliant! I started watching the second season and was blown alway..
Phoebe is incredibly talented, as an actor and a writer.. Can’t wait for the third season..
I doubt it will be there
That's not how The English do it.
Invariably, 2 quality series and Goodnight like The Office UK and Fawlty Towers, which were 2 of our best comedy shows..
There shouldn’t be a third season. That is like eating another bag of chips when your full. It was perfect!
The best show deserved the very best interviewer!
Thank you!
Where’s Claire?
👀
Series 1 was an incredible achievement. I have been so looking forward to seeing series 2, and now even more so after watching this..
gosh, this woman is absolutely brilliant.
Phoebe Waller Bridge is what Lena Dunham tried to be but failed miserably. real talent always jumps out!
Lena May be insufferable, but she is a good writer (some girls episodes are really spectacular). Plus she had a collaborator unlike PWB.
@@iansmart4158 Yeah I have to agree with Lena is talented but she Phoebe is so fully formed its remarkable i still think Lena has a ton of growing to do as writer and as artist.
@@goldblumlover3037 I get people say this because GIRLS was kind of inconsistent with quality (mostly really good tho) but if you rewatch season 1 (like I have recently)--
That show and Lena as a writer/performer is so fully formed and wonderful it's nuts. GIRLS season 1 is probably the best "comedy" the show has ever done and is on par with (if not better) than S1 of Fleabag. now S2 Fleabag is a different story; that's just perfect.
is it so hard to praise one without belittling the other?
Phoebe hasnt been dumbed down by the 'millenial culture' in the U.S. Dunham is talented but she wastes most of her energy trying to be woke whereas Phoebe doesnt try she just gets it right in an understated way.
Loved season two so much. So many layers. I can’t imagine it coming back it ended perfectly for me.
What a fantastic interviewer. Very rare these days.
I’m so glad she didn’t just stop at season 1
I loved Fleabag. I'm so sad it's over.
Best interviewer I've seen/heard in a long time!
I absolutely adore Phoebe 😍
Love from Chile 💕
Just discovered your interviews (chanel). Such an informed and intelligent approach to the art & craft of writing, acting and other associated dark arts.. really enjoyable and informative! Great work! Loved your interview with Jodie Comer too 👏👏
She’s an actual genius
OMG I loved her final comment!!! reaction from pain and fear of vulnerability!
Phoebe Waller bridge is a genius ❤️😍
This show is a masterpiece
It took me a minute to figure out season one is online.. love the show ..
Bravo all. Brilliant performances. I’ve never laughed so hard. So much irony and truth. Brave script. Seems like it was improv although I know it wasn’t. So spontaneous. Please come back for Season 3 Phoebe.❤️👍☀️
Yeah, godmother was waaay worse than Martin. That scene on their wedding day when Fleabag gifts her the sculpture, right after she's said to her face "no more miscarriages", it was such a visceral moment. I couldn't decide whether she wanted to hit fleabag or cry, in the end she decided to once again gut her with a knife by saying it was based on her mother. I think I got anxiety from her character, she's just that good
Cannot believe it’s over! Hope it gets all the attention, spotlights, recognition and awards so that it definitely comes back for a 3 season... God! Fleabag and Veep ended! What am I gonna watch now???? 😫😫😫
love the show from philippines!
Fantastic script, casting and performance. The last point Phoebe mentioned about people are muted or being mean and cool to those they cared, not just with British but in fact lots of us.
Love the show
Brett aka Martin aka bald eagle is way too underrated
Phoebe’s last answer described my family’s dynamic
Sian is adorable
I must admit I wasn’t taken by the first series in so much as; I didn’t end up following with the rest- to my great great loss it seems. That second season has just gone into orbit compared with the first...With clever casting and some incredible writing & fantastic filming/editing. I will re-watch - that’s for sure.
After watching the second season I now believe that fleabag was actually talking to god during her 4th wall breaks. I think that’s the reason why the priest was able to notice her doing it. I know she’s an atheist and that she doesn’t believe in god, I just think she really needed someone to talk to her after the traumatic event of losing her best friend. I don’t think she realized or knew that she was actually talking to god, it was just omnipresent intently listening to her inner thoughts and was there for her when she needed it the most. The priest being so close to god was somehow able to notice that she was talking to god during her fourth wall breaks.
Jonathan Aisel I’ve been waiting to watch or read something explaining why the priest could sense she was breaking the 4th wall. I love your interpretation.
I love that theory. 🤗
That made me tear up! Beautiful interpretation.
Claire is played so well. If the sister didn’t work, the show would work as perfectly as it does. Congratulations to all involved.
Phoebe and Sian are brilliant.
Brett Gelman is always some slight variation of the same character and seeing here how he really does not like when the attention isn't on him has made him even less appealing. Blech.
D M I am pretty sure he's just kidding
He's a comedian. He was joking.
All hail the hot priest
Brett looking fresh
Speak for yourself Brett. I do not relate to your character AT ALL! And if anyone says I do, I'll deny it! :-)
So.....no Season 3?
I see Bill has gotten them to change their chairs.
ok well that guy with the blue cap at 2:58 in the back walking casually...
i adore the show. but the interview leaves much to be desired, so many things they should have been asked about
there's a lot they couldn't ask about otherwise there would have been serious spoilers
Remember the second series is about to premiere in the US and this is promo for their audience, who've most likely watched the whole thing already but they have to treat it as if nobody knows anything and they have to be careful with spoilers
interesting part at 2:58
Cracking!
Plot twist : phoebe is actually flrabag
i ship PWB and the host of this show
Why the interviewer have the voice of Jordan Peterson?
2:58 ZADDY
The voice dropped 2 octaves. So funny the false excitement. Why not just be truthful to yourself and enjoy the great talent before him, the Girls are enough for a two hour segment. Which is why the voice dropped 😅😅😅
The first episode of Season 2 was such a high point that it was all down hill from that point for me. I didn't really feel that the hot priest was that hot and i didn't really fall for him so i had some difficulty with that. It was a bit like when the lawyer opened the door and Fleabag said "Fucking Hell"! I just didn't feel it and that was a disconnect for me because i/we are so used to feeling how Fleabag feels. That first episode was probably the best thing i have ever seen it was just so amazing it is hard to describe.
Sascha Schmitz told me, that his wife lived in a bad-smelling appartement. Both believe in God and keep Saturday as Sabato.
I fast forward when the guy actor starts talking. God he's longwinded
This guy...
Sad to see Brett actually employs a comb over 🙈
Am I the only one in the whole world who doesn't like the 2nd series as much as the 1st one?
Not that I didn't enjoy it,but I just preferred the 1st series...
I think you are 😂
As actors go .... there’s a lot of ‘ya know’ , ‘I mean ‘ ‘so’ ..... love phoebe tho ....
Fleabag is the most overhyped, unfunny show. Please, no more unfunny posh people on TV.
Go cry about it
Honestly, Fleabag is the perfect name for Phoebe's character. She's obviously dealing with the loss of her mum and best friend in not a very healthy way. I love Phoebe's looks to camera, she's hilarious.
The entire show is amazing but Sian as Claire was the highlight for me. I got the feeling she's the kind of character that, in most shows, you're not really supposed to like (if that makes sense). But Sian just made her so genuinely funny and utterly loveable.
Yessssss!!!
Yes!!!
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is probably THE most talented writer of our time and of her generation.
And when she talks about using the camera in an original way, you feel that her talent is boundless.
No I am.
Totally agree.
Ugh
@@ValerieVfc didn't Miranda do it first?
Season 2 just destroyed me, in a good way.
Try Pulling... it's a BBC show.
I feel like the last scene destroyed some part of me in a rather bad way :D
Sian aggressively complimenting Phoebe is my new favourite thing 😂😍
Laima I love their friendship, hope she makes an appearance in Killing Eve 🤞
Charlie 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞
Zip it haha
It's so cute!
Series two is the best thing I have ever watched. The depth and nuance of it all - that scene especially with kristin scott thomas is one of THE MOST amazing things. In short, Phoebe is a genius.
'Women are born with pain built inside them'.
I'll never forget those words.
CATHOLIC THOT I know exactly. It was beautiful
Tori A fully agree with you!
Can we have a hand for Sian Clifford winning a supporting actress award for a tv series Olivia Coleman was a supporting actress in?
I am so glad she did a second season.
This show is a gem and it's one of those shows that you just adore and love because it's different.
I hope we see alot more of Sian.. ideally playing characters written by Phoebe but either way 👏👏👏
This is a good interview. He actually asks smart questions and all the interviewees gave brilliant answers.
I have watched almost everything, never seen ANYTHING like this in my life.. Every single actor is phenomenal and the characters are disgustingly real, flawed and relatable, every single scene is outstanding, almost every line is memorable, superb editing, directing, writing.. I watched the entire series twice within a week. I feel it's not the last time.
Martin was NOT a better person than the godmother. I don't think I've ever felt more genuine hatred for a fictional character than I've felt for Martin.
I literally said "YEEES" out loud when I saw this recommended, fangirling a bit now. A big fan of both Fleabag and Killing Eve, Phoebe Waller-Bridge deserves an OBE already tbh.
Come on she is to fucking cool for all that shite
Phoebe Waller-Bridge is an absolute genius!
And Ricky Camilleri is an amazing interviewer I think, he creates a space for his guests to dance freely but also lead them in a very witty way.
I hope the US appreciates this season as much as the UK did! It deserves all the recognition!
I doubt it as US comedies are soo shit with canned laughter, it won't be half as appreciated in the US as it is in the UK they just don't have the same sense of humour as we do.
@@MrIcemanuk2007 So true!! I'm European living in the US but addicted to UK series; drama and comedy as well. Cannot even compare. The only US comedy I watch is Mom.
I'm in the US, and I love the shit out of this series. I am finding myself more and more enraptured with UK content; especially comedy. We are so watered down and pc here it is insane. Nobody understands sarcasm. It's shit.
@@MrIcemanuk2007 I really resent the misconception British people have about how different they think humor is in the US and the UK. Unfortunately, because the US has a massively larger media market, we also have a lot more crap (which is likely what you're basing your assessment on). However, if you sift through the trash, there is a lot of very witty, intelligent, well-written comedy coming out of the US. Phoebe Waller-Bridge said it herself in an interview with Vogue that there really isn't a difference between British and American humor; if it's truly funny, everyone laughs. I've been talking to all sorts of people I know about this show and so many of us are hooked! Comedies are the best when the characters are relatable, and this show really does that for me. I think American audiences would agree with that.
@@cahinton. you're definitely right about having to wade through crap tv in the US. It seems easier to produce witty, smart comedies in the UK since the BBC has really set a standard. They seem to value high quality screenplay over the usual money grabbing schemes in America.
My favourite character is the hairdresser.
"if you want to change your life, change your life!" Yeah, that one hit me hard.
Antony!! As soon as he's all relaxed asking the assistant to bring over the bin, you're like ohh shit, Claire.
Kadiff Kirwan is a funny dude. He was in a short lived bbc comedy called Crims set in a young offenders institution. It might not be to everybody's liking but he was the best thing in it.
I can just tell this show is one that I will come back to and continuously binge watch as I grow older. I believe it is a once in a lifetime series and I can't wait to think about how much I appreciate it and learn/understand more about the show as I get older. Idk man but that's just what I feel. There's nothing like this and I don't think there ever will be :)
Hope Phoebe can get even more recognition because she’s just absolutely a genius.
She's getting massive recognition! 👍🙂
