2
Baking.
3
Reading.
4
Cookies.
5
Put the pen on the paper.
6
Hi, we're the cast of Bridgerton.
7
And today we're going to find out how well we know each other.
8
I think you're...
9
I think we're both competitive.
10
You're secretly competitive.
11
I'm competitive for only other things that I know I can win.
12
And this isn't one of them, so I'm out.
13
He said that last time.
14
Claudia, she knows people.
15
Yeah.
16
I get in.
17
She remembers things.
18
OK, then, gang, what is my go-to self-care practice?
19
Meditation.
20
Breathing.
21
Crocheting.
22
Or reading a book.
23
Or eating bib and bap.
24
Do you know what?
25
I wrote down a few things because I'm Buddhist.
26
I practised it.
27
I was raised Buddhist.
28
So I wrote Buddhism, crochet and reading, which all three of you did say.
29
So it's a point all round.
30
Aren't we wholesome?
31
To each of us.
32
What was my dream job growing up?
33
Oh, I know this.
34
I don't think I do.
35
Taking care of animals?
36
No, there was a TV show.
37
Phil, the show about Phil.
38
Right, said Phil.
39
Growing up?
40
Yeah, isn't that what you wanted to do?
41
The show came out about six years ago.
42
I'm 36 years old.
43
I predicted the future and I was like, there's going to be an incredible Jewish man who's going to
44
create one of the greatest comedies in the history of mankind and then become a food show.
45
Someone feed Phil.
46
Someone feed Phil.
47
Somebody feed Phil.
48
That wasn't my dream job going up.
49
I am growing up.
50
A comedian.
51
A comedian.
52
If I'm honest, I thought I was just going to be a bartender, which I did for a long time.
53
That's what you wanted to be.
54
Is that what you've...
55
Well, yeah, I didn't mind doing it, if I'm honest.
56
But I reckon, I think a secret part of me maybe wanted to be a clown, which someone did say I feel like...
57
I said a comedian.
58
Please don't have half a point.
59
Yeah, she does have half a point.
60
What is the last TV show that I binged?
61
There are two answers.
62
Pluribus?
63
Do you like that?
64
Adolescence?
65
Stranger Things?
66
No. I don't think you guys want to get it.
67
Love is Blind.
68
Should I just say?
69
Yeah.
70
Last two shows I binged, and I've already watched them, like, both of them, like, 750 times.
71
Barry, because it's the greatest thing that's ever been on Sally and Somebody Somewhere, because it's the other greatest thing that's ever been on Sally, other than Bridgerton.
72
Where is my favourite place to shop?
73
Charity shop.
74
Yeah, thrifting.
75
Hey, ding, ding, ding!
76
It's a charity shop!
77
Yay!
78
If I won the lottery, what would I do with the money?
79
Probably donate to charity.
80
I think you might donate a fair bit of it.
81
Set up a school.
82
Do a scholarship for actors.
83
Let me just add to charity.
84
Yeah, all the good things.
85
I said if I won the lottery, you'd never see me again.
86
Who is the one person, dead or alive, I would love to have a drink with
87
and it would have to be a nice little afternoon coffee rather than like a knees up, do you know what I mean?
88
Yeah, yeah.
89
Somebody see Phil.
90
Him.
91
You've done that though, you've ticked it off.
92
Doesn't mean I wouldn't want to do it again.
93
Is that who it is?
94
Are you answering the question?
95
Are you asking for the answer to the question?
96
Yeah, yeah, yeah, fair.
97
Do we have an answer?
98
Are there 12 names going down?
99
On the first day of Christmas.
100
Yeah, go on then.
101
I think I was just going to say, I think Phil.
102
Phil Rosenthal.
103
It's Phil Rosenthal.
104
I love him so much.
105
All right, whose music video did I star in?
106
Bonus point, what was the name of the show?
107
Ed Sheeran.
108
Ed Sheeran.
109
And what was it called?
110
What was it called?
111
It was a Christmas song.
112
It was a Christmas song and I know exactly where you filmed it.
113
Merry Christmas, no, it's not Merry Christmas everyone, I can hear it now.
114
It's like a long title.
115
All right, okay, how about I give you a hint?
116
Yeah, go on.
117
There's a Disney song from Little Mermaid and the title of it rhymes with the title of this.
118
Okay.
119
How about that?
120
Stick that up your bum.
121
Under the sea.
122
Under the tree.
123
Yeah!
124
That's me!
125
And he's one of the nicest people and I've got to say, he's got the nicest team of people around him as well.
126
Absolute legends.
127
If I could play any other Bridgerton, who would it be?
128
Does it have to be a Bridgerton?
129
I knew you were going to say one of the dogs, Newton, or one of the Queen's pearls.
130
Yeah, I'd want to play one of the courtiers.
131
But they're actually Pomeranians.
132
We have Pomeranians, but they just...
133
They do fuck all day.
134
They just get cuddled by Huysax.
135
Huysax.
136
What was my funniest blooper from this season?
137
Did you break something?
138
Did you ruin a piece of set?
139
All sounds probable.
140
All sounds like me.
141
A little bit more in the face.
142
Does anyone remember something that happened to my face inside my cranium?
143
Inside your cranium?
144
Inside my skull.
145
Our panorama shots we took.
146
Oh yeah, they were good.
147
Not that one.
148
I had to get an emergency root canal during season four, just before they said action.
149
I'm going, oh!
150
I was codeined off my nut.
151
Wonderful place to be.
152
But not when you're pretending to be in the 1800s.
153
Very trippy.
154
But well done, everybody!
155
Yay!
156
What is my favourite hobby?
157
Baking.
158
Reading.
159
Cookies!
160
Sorry.
161
Reading.
162
Baking cookies.
163
But I said baking first.
164
And then I said cookies.
165
Yeah, okay.
166
Reading is it, but I just put down baking, because I do like baking.
167
Okay.
168
Yeah.
169
That's okay.
170
Well done, guys.
171
It's nice.
172
What is my favourite conspiracy theory?
173
Flat Earth!
174
You're a flat earther.
175
And you always have been, and you always will.
176
I believe the Earth is real.
177
I can't do this.
178
The moon landing is fake.
179
JFK's assassination.
180
The Illuminati is real?
181
Right.
182
Okay, yeah.
183
I actually don't know if I believe that.
184
But let's just go with it.
185
It's a game.
186
What is my go-to party trick?
187
The worm.
188
Tap dancing.
189
Time steps.
190
Can you do like a good impression of someone or something?
191
No. Alright.
192
That wasn't going to be last.
193
Yeah.
194
Can you breathe on the water?
195
I would never do that in front of people.
196
No, hell yeah, but you're a good singer.
197
Magic tricks.
198
No, I don't know if it's a trick, but I can do a great Irish goodbye.
199
That's a really good trick.
200
Let's go.
201
Let's go.
202
I remember, is that the one where you just go?
203
You just go?
204
That's the only way to leave a party.
205
It's like I vanished, you know?
206
It's the smartest way to leave a party.
207
What is my biggest pet peeve?
208
Oh, there's a lot.
209
Your biggest pet peeve?
210
I'll write down two. Do you?
211
I'm thinking like fakery, when people are like giving you bullshit.
212
No. Is it when people say things that they think are really funny, like when they mispronounce things funnily on purpose, like when they say, oh, I'm going to have like a spicy pizza with gilepanos.
213
But they think it's really funny and it's not funny.
214
I feel like I do that.
215
No, should I just say?
216
I think you have to just say it now.
217
Okay, playing your video super loudly on the public transport.
218
Not very reasonable and stopping mid-footpath all of a sudden to check your GPS.
219
Oh, you just don't like inconsiderate pedestrians.
220
Yeah. Be efficient.
221
That's reasonable.
222
Roof to the side, you know.
223
Otherwise, I'm going to bump into you and I don't like that.
224
Very nice.
225
Who is my most listened to artist of 2025?
226
What comes to my mind, like Britney says.
227
You better work, bitch.
228
She's so good at Britney.
229
That should have been your party trick.
230
She's really good at Britney impression.
231
She's going to want a drink, bitch.
232
Yeah.
233
You want to drink, bitch?
234
Yeah, yeah.
235
Jungle.
236
No. Ariana Grande?
237
No. Charlie XCX.
238
Ooh, no. Should I just say?
239
Yes.
240
Olivia Dean.
241
I nearly said it.
242
I nearly said it.
243
What is the most used app on my phone?
244
Spotify.
245
Hmm.
246
I've changed my mind.
247
I've changed my mind.
248
Claudia gets a point.
249
What did you write down originally?
250
TikTok.
251
But Spotify, I do wake up.
252
I like to say, I don't know.
253
I don't know.
254
I don't know.
255
But Spotify, I do wake up.
256
I need music around me all the time.
257
Yeah, you always listen to music.
258
What sci-fi franchise am I a part of?
259
Halo.
260
Yeah, that is my first one, so I'll do that.
261
Yay!
262
Okay, where did I grow up?
263
France!
264
Oh, no!
265
It's going to have to be about speed, so yes.
266
Well, you were born here and then you went to France.
267
Yeah.
268
Where did I grow up? On stage.
269
But I was really born on stage.
270
Very good.
271
One point to the errand.
272
What is my secret talent?
273
Playing the piano, speaking French, everything under the sun.
274
It's really annoying. As in...
275
Drawing, sketching, horse riding.
276
Well, it's not secret, it's on camera.
277
I'm secret to everything.
278
You've got to pick one.
279
Yeah, I have to pick one before I ask the question, I guess.
280
Yeah.
281
I am going to say that.
282
It's probably the obvious one.
283
What did...
284
I can't remember who said... Who said... Who said...
285
I think...
286
I said piano.
287
That's not very secret.
288
I'll take the point, then.
289
Is that secret?
290
No, it's not.
291
It's not.
292
What was my first acting job?
293
Shakespeare play!
294
Shakespeare!
295
My Santa.
296
At the Globe.
297
Yeah, we can add some points.
298
What acting school did I graduate from?
299
Radha.
300
Yes.
301
One point for Jaren and one point for Hannah.
302
What's my weirdest on-set habit?
303
On-set habit?
304
I do have one here that...
305
There is something very particular I think that I do do that is quite odd.
306
Do you steal underwear from work?
307
No. Well, I do, actually.
308
Actually, I do.
309
But that's not this it.
310
OK.
311
Teardrop.
312
Napping.
313
Oh, you're so good at napping!
314
I go and lie down and close my eyes all the time.
315
Yeah, but we can't do that because of our wicks.
316
It's not really napping so much as just...
317
Closing your eyes.
318
Rest in your eyes.
319
Closing my eyes.
320
Yeah.
321
Oh.
322
I'm not sure napping.
323
Who in our cast would I call to help me cover up a crime?
324
Claudia.
325
Sorry, you've not written anything down.
326
No, I've got someone.
327
Yaren?
328
No. And I think you'd be great, but I have someone very particular.
329
I don't want to be a part of your crimes.
330
Don't compliment me like that.
331
No, good one.
332
I mean, there are lots of good people.
333
Is it Hugh?
334
Is it Hugh?
335
Is it Will?
336
No. Luke Newton?
337
Yes, Luke Newton.
338
Yeah, absolutely.
339
He's the last person I've called.
340
No, no, no, no, because he's really sensitive and careful.
341
As in, you know, because he sort of keeps...
342
He's panic.
343
Do you think...
344
If you said, I've, like, done something bad...
345
Yeah.
346
He'd call one of us.
347
Yeah, you do realise it and then come back to me.
348
We thought it out and he'd take the credit.
349
Yeah, exactly, he'd take the credit.
350
What was the most difficult scene to film?
351
Intimacy scenes.
352
Sex.
353
Sex scenes.
354
It's complicated.
355
I've got two points.
356
I think that's it.
357
To be fair, I think these are quite easy.
358
All right.
359
Okay.
360
You're not going to get any.
361
Yeah, you're not going to get any of that.
362
What did I study in college?
363
Dance.
364
Oh, touch.
365
Dance, got to get points.
366
Gotta dance!
367
Dance.
368
What has been the hardest part of playing Francesca?
369
Piano playing?
370
Yeah, piano playing.
371
Yeah, piano playing.
372
Piano?
373
Yeah.
374
Yeah, it's just a bit.
375
A point each, how cool.
376
Her first day ever, her first day ever, first scene she had to play the piano.
377
To the whole family!
378
To the whole family, it's amazing.
379
That's stressful.
380
I just remember I've got a video of me messaging Victor, trying to play it, going, we have to talk at the same time.
381
I'm filming it like, shut up.
382
How would I describe my fashion style?
383
Oh, I don't know.
384
Chic.
385
Thank you.
386
By packets of crisps.
387
Yes!
388
Nobody else is going to get that, but I'm going to give Claudia the point for that.
389
And only my team will get that.
390
What did you say? By packets.
391
She judges it.
392
They sort of match an outfit to a packet of crisps.
393
It's class.
394
It keeps me calm in the morning.
395
Today I'm a salt and vinegar disco, thanks for asking.
396
What is the biggest purchase I've ever made?
397
A handbag?
398
A flat.
399
Oh yeah, true.
400
A flat's a good one.
401
It's going to be bigger than a home, is it?
402
It's expensive stuff.
403
Oh, you're all going to get exposed.
404
I don't want to do that.
405
When's my birthday?
406
February.
407
The 27th.
408
The 12th.
409
It's February.
410
February?
411
March.
412
June the 5th.
413
April. May?
414
It's one of the 12 months. May! May 23rd. May 25th.
415
No. May 18th. May 23rd, May 22nd.
416
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen...
417
Yeah!
418
Yaron gets it!
419
That's amazing!
420
That's amazing!
421
Yaron knows me so well.
422
How do I like to spend an ideal day off on the couch?
423
Fair.
424
Comfies.
425
Maybe a little lunch with some pals, straight back into your comfies reading a book at home.
426
Stunning.
427
Sounds nice to you.
428
Yeah, what you said.
429
And the best bit that I know of the planet.
430
Give me a point on it.
431
Just another point on them, my darling.
432
Oh, thank you.
433
February.
434
February.
435
Yeah, I don't know.
436
What other Netflix show would I love to guest star in?
437
Um, wow.
438
I don't know.
439
This is quite niche.
440
I feel really loved.
441
House of Russia?
442
Is that Netflix?
443
Never seen it.
444
Okay, we'll come.
445
Emily in Paris.
446
I don't know, the outfits are fun, aren't they?
447
Imagine the crisps the crisps i'm looking at you

449

456
Should I go?
457
Yeah.
458
American Sweetheart, Dallas Cowgirls.
459
Oh, you'd be amazing!
460
My toxic trait is that I really do think I could do it.
461
Yes, you can!
462
I don't think it's a toxic trait.
463
No, my hamstrings don't agree, but I really think that I could do it.
464
I think I've got what it takes.
465
I believe in you.
466
And it's my comfort show, so when I get sad, I watch it.
467
Yeah, it's a good show.
468
Something reminiscing about dance college days.
469
What trick do I use to help me get into character?
470
A music playlist on Spotify.
471
Crisps.
472
Ooh.
473
Crisps.
474
Every answer, crisps.
475
Crisps.
476
I do, I would...
477
Ghosts.
478
It's about as useful as that.
479
I would give Claudia half a point, because that is...
480
I do do that.
481
You have a little notebook as well.
482
You have a book that you write.
483
Do you refer to the book?
484
Yeah.
485
It's not what I've written down.
486
I do a little character journal cheat sheets.
487
That's nice.
488
I know.
489
I don't get to show them, so I panic.
490
Looking at three people who don't do that, we're going nuts.
491
That's a nice, nice.
492
I think you know, because you sort of have one now.
493
How?
494
A dog.
495
You struck your dog.
496
No. What do I sort of have now? And it...
497
Why am I helping...
498
Itty!
499
No, and it helps me get into character.
500
That's not giving you anything but it's something that I put on to help me.
501
Oh, a perfume!
502
You have a perfume!
503
Well done.
504
I have character perfume.
505
Sometimes it's down to the bottle, sometimes it's down to the smell.
506
Sometimes if it's like a London project, it needs to be like a London brand.
507
Sometimes it's colour.
508
I got like a German perfume for Sally.
509
Also, today is also the Sartre & Billy Go Disco perfume.
510
I've covered myself in disco dust.
511
It's disgusting.
512
Dust dump.
513
Yay!
514
Woo!
515
And I was too.
516
Yay!
517
Yay!
518
Oh my gosh!
519
I really said I want to know everything about you coming into the season.

Qu'est-ce que la technique du Shadowing ?
Le Shadowing est une technique d'apprentissage des langues fondée sur la science, développée à l'origine pour la formation des interprètes professionnels. Le principe est simple mais puissant : vous écoutez de l'anglais natif et le répétez immédiatement à voix haute — comme une ombre suivant le locuteur avec un décalage de 1 à 2 secondes. Les recherches montrent une amélioration significative de la précision de la prononciation, de l'intonation, du rythme, des liaisons, de la compréhension orale et de la fluidité.
