I don't even know what I'm doing most of the time so please don't blame me....

I love the fact that, as the days go by, the angrier Martin becomes in the photos 😂😂

At least I spotted some pandas today... 🙄

he's SO STUPID in the BAD SENSE god he can't be so dumb seriously

[fuckyeahstagefright]

25/01/25 evening special guest Martin Freeman

Charades: Fart Tin Three Man

Running gag: Bilbo Baggins (Dildo Baggins / Dodo Baggins / Sergeant Bilko Baggins)

Details:

When listing what he'd been in, Martin said "I was in The Office" which got a big cheer, and then "I was John Watson in Sherlock" which got an even bigger cheer.

Steve teased Martin about his film Swinging with the Finkels getting five star reviews... One star in The Times, one star in The Telegraph... etc etc

Martin had a good go at a Geordie accent ("whyaye pet it's me how are you?") but his exasperated expression when Reece said "No, no, he grew up in Newcastle" got a huge laugh.

Martin refused to do the flamenco at first and Reece had to tell him to get up. Martin gestured wildly at the phone and hissed "It's audio!"

The improvised song went: I love you / You love me / Together we make a fine company / There's me! And you! And both of us together / Will weather the storm

Martin was very energetic when he was looking for a hiding place, dashing around the stage and opening the hamper. When he went back to the wardrobe he acted like he was preparing to try and squeeze in amongst the "sardines" group, saying "I'll figure it out..." and then acting extrenmely surprised when the wardrobe was empty.

When he berated Steve he shouted "Lord of the Rings! It's the biggest fucking thing I've done!" and his parting line on the stairs was "You'll be hearing from my agent."

Who do you think is the best at acting between Martin Freeman and Amanda Abbington?

I've only seen Amanda act in Sherlock (and I think she had a small role in Swinging with the Finkels). So there is really no point in comparing them.
