(upbeat music) - So Al Weaver's directing an episode this series.

I don't know where he got that idea from.

(music drowns out Al's muffled directions) - You can serve it out, you know.

- Great, yeah, alright so- - It's fascinating.

It makes me think about how I would've been for people, you know, actor Tom versus director Tom.

Because actor Al and director Al are very different people.

(Al chuckles) - It terrifies me.

I've got a real sort of gratitude for like, the people that are behind the scenes.

The prep and the organization and everything that goes into it is just insane.

- It was brilliant, having Al as director.

He's detailed, he's thorough.

I hope he does more.

- It's so nice when you know someone of many years and work with him as an actor, to then see them directing.

- I think 'cause he's such a brilliant actor his notes are great.

- He's got this way of talking to you as another actor where he really knows how to get it out of you.

- Al, who's seen these Larry moments for seasons and seasons- - Can't keep up with a few young ladies, boss?

(group laughs) - He's like, "Just go full Larry."

He's like, "Don't, don't hold back on Larry."

He's like, "Just go full Larry."

(Bradley chuckles softly) - So we've let our only suspect go?

- Because she had nothing to do with it, Larry.

- Al just constructs a scene as an actor beautifully.

So he understands the timing of how a lens would work alongside.

- You can come in on action where I hold- (Al's directions muffled) - Okay, 3, 2, 1, action.

- When you think about directing, you kind of think, "Well what kind of person do I wanna be?

What kind of director do I wanna be?"

And yeah, I feel quite responsible.

I sort of come in with energy and you know, be prepared and be open to things and, but have a plan.

- What I think Al has done with episode three, is create something really aesthetically beautiful.

I think the story telling in it is gorgeous.

- He's great.

I think his episode is gonna be brilliant and then you can tell he's always wanted to direct.

- He was really good as you would expect, really.

- We love Al and I enjoy every single scene I do with him.

- And it's lovely he's been given this opportunity.

- It adds to the feeling of creativity and collaboration, which is like, always the best thing.

(glasses clink) - It's fascinating to watch and just fun, just really fun.

- It's nice that you've got these people there that are supporting you and I'm really, really happy that I've got a chance to do this.
