"I'm doing Anthony Hopkins!" Always hilarious when Rob does that impression joke.
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview with Andy, fascinating and enlightening. What a nice man. Rob knows how to get an unforced marvellous interview. Kudos.

[@michaelantonyaustin]

Rob continues to be one of the best, most natural interviewers around. Always a joy to watch he seems to make every interviewee feel completely at ease.

[@paulmarshall2007]

Seems like quite a likeable, humble guy. I remember seeing Parsons and Naylor in the mid 90’s at the Fringe and it was really excellent.

[@helenl3193]

Same - I had totally forgotten about them as a double act, but just the name brought it back! 🤯😳
Like Rob, I can no longer rely on just my memory alone..! 😅
Might need to track down my old MySpace page of films & comedy I heartily recommended everyone to see. Seems I might need those recommendations too now!

[@Jeanie32]

Rob Brydon, you’re just such a joy to listen to and you are a good listener too.

[@JuliePayne]

Love Andy Parsons. Have missed him in recent years. Will look out for him 😘

[@simonesalvatore9345]

Nice to see Andy looking well, haven’t seen or heard much of him since his Mock the Week days.

[@super8blog71]

I'm with you on writing things down Rob. I have a notebook by my bed because ideas come to me in the night. And sometimes weird dreams

[@simonsaysrewind]

Superb... only know Andy from mtw so it's nice to see him in this great interview 😊

[@billkosses3808]

Week Ending bloody brilliant! And Radio Active!

[@susanjames1227]

Fascinating discussion on the process of writing from 19:58 👏😊

[@jimmygrundy]

Brilliant conversation

[@herseem]

I love Kingsbridge and that whole area. Many summer holidays there as both sets of grandparents lived in Kingsbridge and Brixham. You'd love Mill Bay beach, opposite Salcombe

[@kenmorgan5999]

Another enjoyable interview thanks guys

[@andypalin3287]

Thanks guys. Another fabulous insight! 😃

[@brianford8493]

Made my day.......ta chaps!

[@darinsingleton3553]

Cheers from the States. Much appreciated.

[@julianlineham]

Another super one, thanks

[@FineYungCannibal.]

Would love it if you got Chris Barrie on for a chat! 😁

[@andymcneil7085]

Nice to see an unscripted, casual chat.

[@frzen]

It would be cheating if it was written down

[@Robil63]

Short! ...No, not you, Rob - the in'aview. Nice - and the impression was the cherry on top

[@abucketofelves]

Griff Rhys Jones is looking well

[@romuco9872]

First saw Andy Parson on Mock and thought he was a very important character on that show, lost interest after he left,...even though when I could understand Dara, he is a also a fine character. Andy's timing and tone added so much.

[@jimspencer363]

Humour is a very personal thing, and personally I think Andy would have made a good lawyer.

[@kuukeli]

yay

[@epluribusu9430]

"He's sat there.." ????? Brexit English!
Is sat? IS sat? But love your work Rob.

[@andrewfisher3035]

Top bloke Andy P and a good trade unionist to boot…..

[@SkepticalTeacher]

Eeez eeeeeeeet...! 😂

[@danieladams9950]

Is it pertinent to ask? Where did Parsons go after MTW?

[@timothygraham4304]

Most likely took a break, and is now back at it. He may have been offered to appear on other panel shows, but I reckon he would have stayed at MTW, if that interested him.

[@jakeriese4862]

Ok

[@lewisjones2825]

"Tomorrow will be hot, lots of girls in skimpy clothing, it's gonna reach ninety degrees, which is not bad for a man of my age"

[@trippymchippy8586]

"Anne Widdecombe, eeeeew"

[@JakeMay]

I don't think they really got on very well during this did they 😂

[@rjb6327]

Funny how a man can graduate from Cambridge and then wonder if he can "scrape a living".

[@JackSlider-hf1jb]

i keep thinking, eddie the eagle...

[@fud1376]

Heres a tip...Put both of you on the same screen...Jumping back n forth is a bit annoying...Ha !

[@minixtvbox]

Headache inducing, terrible production

[@Michael-hc2vs]

Andy has got to be one of the least funny people on British TV

[@EarnestWilliamsGeofferic]

Spitting Image has never been entertaining or funny. It's just gross and obvious.
