Gary Oldman manages to be somebody else everytime a camera turns on. He is one of the best.
I think...he is a very, very, very "egocentric" person..! (NOT in a BAD way!)
But he seems to me being a quite...troubled person!!!
@@JohnDoe-vj2yy Just an actor. Sean Been in Legend went so far as mildly stuttering to interpret his undercover character..
I was drawn to this show because Gary Oldman stars in it and I love everything he does. Now it’s become my favorite show - smart, very funny, and great writing.
I had no idea Jack was Scottish, his accent on Slow Horses is so impeccable.
He looks gorgeous.😘🤩
I never knew that until I read your comment.. and thought, oh! He does sound Scottish!
Olivia Cooke sounds completely different in real life too. (Mancunian)
@@Martin_Edmondson and the actor who plays Ho is Australian. So many putting on accents for this show.
And so beautiful 😍
This show is so good and i watched it mainly for Gary Oldman.
Me too...then found the show is awesome.
Brilliant show, so many lol moments too from Oldman.
Audiobook series is on TH-cam
Having read all of Mick Herron’s books, I was dismayed when I heard that Oldman had been cast as Jackson Lamb, but now I can’t fathom anyone else in the role.
I just love him 🤗😍🤗
It looks like Gary Oldman is just playing himself in this show. So naturally hilarious and what a show this is.
I cannot wait for season 2.
Playing himself but not Jackson Lamb.
Sure you heard by now, been renewed for a season 3 + 4! 🤘
@@mikekaraoke *insert Coldplay - The Scientist on repeat 😂
@@shoWbitzI often listen to The Scientist on repeat to help me sleep, lol
@@bobburroughs6241 I have not read the books. It is much more difficult to accept an interpretation of a character if you have already been introduced to them - especially from reading the book first.
There are many movies I will not watch from books that I have read. I see who the actor or actress is who is playing the part - and then, usually, refrain from watching. I simply cannot imagine them as the person ( fictional ) I see in my imagination.
One exception was Ralph Fiennes as Heathcliff in Wuthering Heights. He was absolutely terrifying. He brought Heathcliff to life, in my opinion.
And then to see him interviewed later - a somewhat gentle and shy person - that was something else!!
However, I have found the reverse if I see a movie and then read the book.
It’s almost as if 3/4 of the book was missing in the movie. So that’s always a treat!!
The Great Gary Oldman ..... amazing hes so versatile and embraces the role its amazing
Only just started watching this show after it sat in my watch list for years. This might be my favourite Gary Oldman character ever.
Waiting with anticipation for season 3. Bloody brilliant show.
Gary Oldman is one of the best actors ever
Gary Oldman would make a great bond villian.
Lovely to hear Jack Lowden’s Scottish accent coming through.
Gary oldman should have won the Emmy. No one can match him.Next time? The best series. Gary’s acting is just simply amazing.
Jack would make a good Bond. He’s young, good looking, known but not too well known.
А ещё потрясающий тембр голоса
Definitely. He could easily have a 20 year run at Bond if he wanted to. I think Gary Oldman would have been cool to see as Bond thirty years ago. I love Pierce Brosnan, but I wonder how different those films would be if Gary played the character instead.
As long as he stuck to the English accent he’s learned.
Looking back, Sean Connery was a bit of a joke due to the fact that in his entire acting career, regardless of whether he played an Englishman, a Russian, or an American, he would *always* be a Scottish Englishman, or a Scottish Russian. The fact he was a good actor meant that he wasn’t derided for it. Anybody these days who has big acting roles would never be accepted for being unable to shake off their original accent.
Gary Oldman would have been a good Bond if he had been asked to do it in the 1980’s instead of Timothy Dalton (who was the most Yorkshire-sounding secret agent ever, even more so than Sean Bean playing former 00 agent Alec Trevelyan in Goldeneye!)
However, Gary Oldman could still play a great Bond villain even now. Great Bond villains are almost as important as a good Bond as the story can be rather bland unless Bond is pitted against a great adversary.
@@nathannicholson2933 It would have ruined gary oldman. he was fine where he was. from Leon to Dracula etc. to Slow Horses he shines. He's got this stage feeling wherever he goes.
I can't stand Brosnan or Timothy Dalton. Might as well be James Smith of Johnnny English
@@auntisthenes2754Totally agree with you. I also feel the same way about Jack doing Bond. He’s a fine young actor and I think Bond would limit his versatility.
We’ve just stumbled across Slow horses and binge watched the first 2 seasons and have caught up on season 3 now. It’s class.
So eager to see this. Gary gave me a shock, announcing his retirement early this month. Can't help but see a parallel/metaphor with his own career. Never say never. Such a unique dedication to his craft. Cheers, Gary! Peace from Dallas. JF
retiring from this show. from american crap, perhaps; give him a good opportunity on stage or on screen..he looks fit enough to do whatever he pleases whenever he pleases for 20 years. looks aren't everything but the young BlackPanther was a goner before the studios knew he was sick. old timers tend to linger and age like good wine.
DO. WATCH. SLOW HORSES ! it's addictive in the best ways. All comic and stumblebum on the surface, but all subtle and clever and tempered steel underneath. Jack Lowden. Totally PERFECT ad the new James Bond . Roger Moore, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig all rolled into one. So pleased there,s now a season 3 to watch.
Best show I watched this year. Please make more. Cannot wait for season 3,4,5,6... :D
season four is signed. probably filmed too.
I need Jack Lowden and James MacAvoy to star in a Scottish historical drama
One of the best series with dialogue that hits like a punch, raw and real, like Bukowski wrote it in a smoky bar at midnight.
Slow Horses....brilliant brilliant.....and Jack Lowden as the new James Bond...he has the age and charisma to do it for many years.
The show is a similar take on the espionage world as John LaCarre. Great show! The books are now on my reading list.
The books are fantastic. It never occurred to me how much comedic potential there was in LeCarre's settings & characters until I read the Slow Horses series.
These 2 are really so funny together!!¡
gary oldman is so underrated he should have been in more shows
There's always one!
It's Smiley's People meets The Big Lebowski! I fucking love it!
This is probably my favorite show on the air right now. I've already watched all the seasons 3 or 4 times while waiting for the next season simply because I want MORE of it.
The show can rip your heart out and stomp on it when one of the characters is killed. Sometimes you see it coming, and dread it. Other times it happens without any warning at all in an instant. And it hurts. These are characters you've gotten to know and despite their flaws you still care about them, and suddenly they're just... gone. The plots are believable enough to really draw you in and the twists make sense. But probably the most important ingredient in the show is Gary's character.
"Lamb" is the hub of the show around which all the other spokes revolve, and he's unlike any other character in any spy thriller. Right from the start he's introduced as an intolerable SLOB. Personal Hygiene is something he stubbornly avoids. He stinks. His clothes go unwashed for God only knows how long. He doesn't wash or bath. He seems to enjoy sickening others with his flatulence. He's just a disgusting human being that delights at being as insulting as he is disgusting. And at first his ONLY redeeming feature is the quick wit he posses that hints at one VERY sharp mind. (Frankly speaking I don't care if those insults come off the page, or are simply popping out of Gary's fertile mind, it doesn't matter because they're consistently BRILLIANT and definitely a good part of what makes this show so good.) "Talking to you people is like trying to explain Norway to a dog." But as hints as to his past are occasionally revealed you start to understand WHY he is the way he is now. Although he survived the cold war, and the fall of the Soviet Union, to a large extent he's a broken man. A man who's seen people he respected killed in the line of duty regardless of how competent or careful they may have been. He really does know that most of his "rejects" have little to no chance at all of surviving in the cruel and brutal world they inhabit. And he does his very best to protect them and keep them alive. "They may be losers, but they're MY LOSERS."
This show is a keeper. I've already purchased ever season so far released.
It's well constructed, well written, immaculately filmed, and has a BRILLIANT CAST.
Here's hoping for many more seasons to follow.
0:32 - 0:34. Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden nodding at the same time like "we got you bruh"😅😂
Also loved Gary Oldman as George Smiley, cleancut, cerebral spy in 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy,' based on John le Carré's novel of the same name. He goes from the perfect spy to this role which is perfect in a down-to-earth, believable way. I love both.
Gary Oldman is brilliant
What a great series that is. Awesome performance from all actrors!
"It's like James Bond without James Bond, is that fair?"
"Umm, yeah..."
Translation: "Umm, no"
It's more like Le Carre than James Bond.
Slow Horses 2: even better (dirtier underware). Really, I'm always thinking of how he smells, 'bout from booze and indian food seconds.
Great series, nice mix of The Office and Spooks. Turns out series 2 is out later this year and 3 and 4 have also been approved. YALDY!
I was thinking „Is that Mick Jagger ? Nah, cant be. … but it sounds like him. Did they really get Mick Jagger to do the theme song. Nah, it s probably a remix or somebody mimicking him“
That kinda the cherry on top to give this series that little bit of extra importance that it deserves. Nice one. Really feeling Slow Horses so far …
Yes, it's Mick. He wrote the theme song.
Yeah! And it's so good 👍🏻
No one mimics Jagger!!!
Just love Slow Horses, the Brit’s do THE best dramas. Love the humour 🇦🇺
It's much much more like the original Len Deighton books turned into films in the mid 1960s with Michael Caine - The Ipcress File & Funeral in Berlin. Dingy offices, tetchy staff, slightly dodgy spy, manky bits of London. Fantastically directed by Sidney Furie and produced by Harry Saltzman (of Bond fame) with cinematographer Otto Heller and music by the legendary John Barry. Go and check out the two films, because the cinematography and music is utterly awesome.
top of the list of binge worthy shows, every character is amazing
Gary Oldman is sitting next to the next James Bond imo
i seriously mistook Jack for Simon Pegg
Such a great show ❤❤
Fantastic Show
I think you should really watch the show before interviewing the actors.
I fucking love slow horses, that is all
Geez this interview was terrible! This guy is the Tommy Wiseau of interviewers😂
All the cast are amazing and it just all works so well together!! 👏
Gary Oldman is BRILLIANT!! The reason I started watching slow horses is actually Rade Šerbedžija (who I adore!)! In one interview he said that Gary is by far the best actor he worked with! He was super impressed! I had to see it! 🤩😍
Whilst I love Gary, I would like to hear more from Jack in these interviews.
Don’t worry, we’ll be seeing more of Jack.
In response to Jack’s question “where do you see spies doing so and so?” - erm, Spooks. 10 seasons of it.
Slow Horses is a great show in the Tinker, Taylor grimy style of spy stories. One of the best things on streaming at the moment. Good to find out how Jagger did the theme song.
Jack looks like a young Anthony Hopkins
Sirius Black
Glad I was in this series GO legend
Damn, off topic here but for some reason I liked hearing that Gary approves of Daniel Craig's portrayal of Bond. I think when Casino Royale came out many of us were not sold on Craig then when you see the film you warm up to him pretty quick. For me Craig is up there with Connery and Dalton.
It's really not James Bond. It's much much better.
Is that some kind of hat the interviewer is wearing? Or a medical device? Or a new hairstyle?
Slow Horses is an amazing series and one of the best performances - if not the best apart from Leon - of his career.
Gary Oldman was being modest. They told him Barry Manilow was doing the theme song, would he play Jackson Lamb. Said no. So they got Mick.
Jack looks like the lovechild of simon pegg and peter serofenowiczs. Its been bugging me the whole time watching the show and now i realise it!
Gary Oldman is actually the guy on the right. He's that good an actor
he's Scottish? I can't bloody believe it. He's Scottish.
Plz bring Sid back in s03
kinda useless interview
Gary Oldman is the James Bond Version of Columbo after last season. Pure danger.
Yanks won’t get “Slow Horses” which is ironic since they funded and produced it. You see, we Brits have ACTUALLY FUNNY comedy that isn’t talking down to us.
I assure you, we do get it.
Apparently it was an American publisher that kept faith in the book series and kept on pushing it until it suddenly exploded 2 to 3 books down.
Totally brilliant series….. equally brilliant title music
Oldman’s character seems like it’s based on Aqualung.
Speaking of Bond, hear me out, Jack Lowden?
jackson Lamb the poundland george smiley , and I say that with the greatest respect for both characters .
reading the books, I always pictured Samuel L Jackson for Lamb. He had the voice.
Dopey opening question. Bond without Bond? There is virtually nothing else from Bond films: no Aston Martins with rear mounted machine guns, no beauties in couture, no elegant interiors, etc...
The most hilarious is watching a over grown man with a baseball cap backwards.
My thoughts precisely. That neither British actor reacts to a middle-aged man wearing a baseball hat on backwards INDOORS has to be the greatest acting feat ever achieved.
Just finished season 2. Great show with a great cast. Can’t wait for season 3!
came for gary but stayed for jack
Wow Jack looks completely different without his stubble/scruffy beard barely recognized him. I think I like his bearded look better. Great actor.
Omg I love this show!!!! I wonder if it’s more George Smiley than James Bond, they’ve mentioned Smiley and Moscow Centre, I wonder if it’s in the same universe.
Um, no. Not even remotely like James Bond. When an interview starts with a flub, and the interviewer is wearing a pot on his head, that’s enough for me. Kudos to the actors who have to put up with this.
Love Slow Horses and both those actors. Kind of a meh interview, tho.
James Bond on a low budget
It’s the exact opposite of James Bond
This is what the British do so well in drama, that can't -be-arsed incompetence that exists wherever anyone chases remnants of shattered dreams of glory. It's the offspring of Minder and Steptoe. It's so realistic. The books are brilliant.
Not a funny interview at all, compared to the hilarious show
A very un-American treat...till now.
Archetypes anyone?
They are part of the deep, unspoken power of these novels.
Lady Di (Taverner) is the flip-side of the original Lady Di. The former is calculating, cold-blooded and unscrupulous, where the former was spontaneous, sensitive and vulnerable.
Lamb, on the other hand, is a part of ourselves we are longing to let loose on the world: apparently chaotic, blind, unthinking and invulnerable, he's our Dyonisian side, as is Shirley (only as she appears in the books, though, not in the show, unfortunately).
We are sandwiched between our Di(e) and Lamb sides, colliding and just longing to emerge.
These characters give vent to it for all of us.
So far, the series is incredibly good and remarkably true to the novels, even to the point of being filmed in the "actual" locale discovered by author Mick Herron, one of the few masters of this genre not really having lived as a spy himself (probably, possibly). Jackson Lamb is delicious and represents a side iof us all we would probably love to act out and even nurture. OK, I would, in any case. Gary Oldman is obviously enjoying himself as the man we all secretly hate to love. There are two casting or directorial mistakes here though: first, Roddy Ho is more of a nasty egomaniac and less of a goofy closet superhero (totally out of touch with reality) than he is in the books; secondly, the wonderfully explosively psychotic and sugar-bingeing Shirley Dander from the books is nowhere to be found in the lightweight underwhelming version of her character we are presented with onscreen.
One word of caution: the final episode of Season Three also gets very violent, American-style, and we can only hope this does not bode badly for Season Four. Unfortunately, feedback from audiences who haven't read the novels and are addicted to computer-assisted superviolence in their movies may pressure the team into delivering a more violent and sensationalist version such as we are accustomed to in American films. Let's hope not.
Yes, TV Roddy is more dickish than novel Roddy ( I imagined his car being a Kia Soul 😅), but I think he's equally hilarious in a way that provides better motivation for how the others dump on him.
Agreed about Shirley. Very underwhelming. I imagined her being a short, squat little mouth-breather who couldn't cope with her own frustration at not being good enough. Reading John LeCarré's books, I imagined George Smiley being equally short and squat (but not incompetent), not looking like Alec Guinness or Gary Oldman.
On a more positive note, casting Jack Lowden as River Cartwright was perfect. He's just enough of a boy-band puppy dog to be a realistic spy candidate and James Bond Wannabe ("Bond Lite"), but not tough enough to actually be 007. As Jackson Lamb says, he's "Double Oh Three-and-a-Half." 😋
The TV show is based on the novels, which have both violence and tragedy. The series isn't a watered-down comedy, it has a deep streak of black realism that's a core part of it what it is.
It’s the most realistic spy thriller to date.
2:02 GENIOUS 😂
Cartwright and Lamb is the best duo
It´s a nice interview. I would not say it´s hilarious.
A fabulous fabulous series!
want to see gray in jamebond as a villain
Honestly....The ONLY role he can´t play very well, ist the role of Gary Oldman!
It is amazing how symbiotic it works, when he has the chance to hide his face....behind silicon!
But "being HIMSELF"...
...he is not really good at it!
We are who we are.
Gary Oldman is a person, a human being.
What an odd comment!
@@Ghostwriter-o6c That's true...he IS a person! (..and also a very interesting one!)
My point is...Gary Oldman, (and you can see it in EVERY interview he ever gave), for some reason always gives the impression, of "working hard" on how he wants to be seen by the audience!
He is an actor...through and through...and it apears to me, he makes NO DIFFERENCES, between his job...and Gary Oldman! (It's all ONE)! And for a PERFECTIONIST, which he is, it's very obvious!!!
He is a FABULOUS actor...and it's of corse NEVER my intention to "insult" him anyhow!
And thanks for your response!
@@JohnDoe-vj2yy You’re welcome!!
I think many actors tend to hide behind masks, even if they don’t intend to.
Many are quite shy in real life, so even in an interview, they will tend to present themselves differently than they truly are.
Do any of us show our true selves, on purpose or not?
I think we all adapt to whatever situation we are in.
No one can truly know what another person is thinking. Even the people closest to us.
I am sure my husband has thoughts he would never share with me - I know I have the same. For whatever reason, we may choose to not share everything.
And there is nothing wrong with that.
Nonetheless, I thoroughly enjoyed “ Slow Horses “. 😊
What a show... 4 king great!
👍🏼😊😃let’s have more of the series plz
Absolutely great show!!!
Jack Lowden does not want to be there.
James Bond and Steptoe & Son.
Tiptoes. The role of a lifetime
Nice 👍
loveee Jack!
“Hilarious”?
The novels are funnier. Most of the humor is about the internal life of people's souls slowly being drowned by mind-numbing paperwork.
Interesting - although still waiting for the hilarity to begin...
Why TF would we need an interview with the interviewer somewhere else? Looks demeaning for the actors
Let's hear it for Saskia.
