The Down the Line and The Fast show comics in the talk tag show, where the guest is the next interviewer. From

Rhys Thomas ( Gary Bellamy, host of Down The Line) interviews actor Simon Day.

They have worked together since The Fast Show, when Simon was an established member of the team, and Rhys was a supporting cast member; Simon also appeared in the sitcom Swiss Toni, which Rhys co-wrote, and provides voices for Down The Line.

Simon comes from a live background, as opposed to Rhys's first break working as a runner on Shooting Stars; he also waited until this year to have his own show, The Simon Day Show, whereas Rhys had written two series of his own sitcom by the age of 21.

All these differences, and all this common ground, makes for an absorbing and hilarious interview.

Producer: Lianne Coop.
