Two of the younger stars of the film are Ben Schnetzer and Faye Marsay.

Burys world famous market!

), we settled down for a natter about the film itself…

Lets start with the predictable question, then.

Can you talk about how it came to you both?

FM:I auditioned for it in July of last year.

I screamed my head off and ruined filming, so they had to go again!

Is that on the DVD outtakes?

FM:I dont think it is, sadly!

And I was right, ah.

Im from the north, so Im anti-Thatcher.

Not the film, but I am.

My grandad was a miner, my father, brother and uncles all work in industry.

So it was quite important to me and quite special to me.

I put myself on tape for it.

And then Skyped with them again.

And got the part, then flew over for the table read.

Lets get to the nub of it then.

Andrew Scott then walks across with a fewSherlockspoilers.

Am I in the ballpark here?

So can you take us through day one?

And table reads are always a breed unto themselves.

Everybodys insecurities are going crazy, and youre sitting there thinking Im going to get fired here.

Do you get the shakes?

BS:Joe Gilgun was a shaker!

FM:Im a bit of a shaker, and I need to be doing something.

So Ive got a script, but Im picking my leg under the table.

I remember being sat near him, and I was so nervous.

I didnt know what to say to him, I needed something like ten wees.

And he was lovely.

And he was yeah, go, go go.

And he said yes!

BS:Andrew, for us younger folk, was a real advocate.

Even if it was just I wish I had another take of that.

Hed be like okay, were going to do one more.

And hes a great example of a consummate professional.

He brings it every time.

Was it important to the pair of you that you came from theatre to this?

Yet theatre groundings tend to lead to better ensemble casts?

BS:Its interesting.

For a film, we had a pretty hefty rehearsal period.

FM:Yeah we did.

Also, Stephen [Beresford, writer] came from theatre too…

FM:Stephen trained at RADA!

BS:And Matthew knows how to speak to actors.

We dont have the luxury of shooting one scene a day.

Were going to be doing four or five scenes a day.

FM:Yeah, we were shooting five to six, sometimes eight pages a day.

It was like television.

Time is generally regarded as the killer.

FM:Fuck, yeah!

Because film it still, ultimately, a very different beast.

FM:Complete different skills, yeah.

How long was the rehearsal period?

FM:We were going for a week, which is almost unheard of.

Usually youll get a rehearsal for camera on set on the day.

Unless youre making a Mike Leigh film!

Then you get a year.

FM:Or the dude who did Boyhood!

He got 12 years!

Youre also coming into acting at a time when scrutiny is ridiculous, particularly for screen acting though.

Are you frightened of that?

FM:I am.

Im frightened of it, because Im not used to it.

So when people judge me, I cant bear it.

I find it quite weird.

Even though I have Twitter, I only use it to say oh, this is coming out.

I would never voice anything about me really.

BS:Imelda and I, I think a handful of us had a good chat… BS:Imelda and I!

You want to bring it every day.

But if you have a bad day in the theatre, a couple of hundred people see it.

That sucked, well get back to it.

You have a bad day on film, its just on DVD for the rest of your life.

But its a matter of people say what they say and thats that.

You cant buy into it.

Then it tells you what the most popular keywords for your career are.

BS:Oh Jesus.

FM:Oh shit.

Faye, yours are bare chested male and execution.

You didnt come out of that too badly!

FM:Oh wow!

I can take that, I can take that!

Ben, amongst your most popular?

Brother-sister relationship, which I think ties back to aLaw & Orderepisode.

BS:Yes, yes!

And my favourite is ampersand in title.

BS:What?!

That would beLaw & Order!

FM:Thats interesting, dude.

BS:Its weird!

It is really weird!

We have to end then by asking you what your favourite Jason Statham film is, anyway.

The most Andrew Scott would admit to was that hed watchedSnatch.

FM:Ive watchedSnatch.

Ill go with that.

I want to say that one, because I want to represent Paddy.

Snatch is great as well though!

Ben and Faye, thank you very much.

Pride is released on September 12th.
