BJ: When you had to dive into the lake?
CF: Yes.
BJ: When they had to do another take, did you have to take the wet shirt off and then put a dry on, on?
CF: Yes, I, I probably did have to, yes. Scusi. Ha vinto. E troppo forte. Si, grazie.
BJ: (Breathing unsteadily) How many takes diving into the lake did you have to do?
CF: (Coughs) Well. The underwater shots were a tank in Ealing Studios.
BJ: Oh no.
CF: I'm afraid so. The, um, moment of being airborne - extremely brief - was a stuntman.
BJ: But it looked like Mr. Darcy.
CF: That was because he had stuck on sideburns and a Mr Darcy outfit on top of a wet suit, which actually made him look like Elvis as you last saw him. He could only do it once for insurance reasons and then he had to be checked for abrasions for about six weeks afterwards. All the other wet-shirt shots were me.
BJ: And did the shirt have to keep being re-wet?
CF: Yes. They'd spray it down. They'd spray it down and then ...
BJ: What with? I'm sorry? What with?
CF: A squirter thing. Look can we ... ?
BJ: Yes, but what I mean is did you ever have to take the shirt off and ... and put another one on?
CF: Yes.
BJ: To be wet again?
CF: Yes.
BJ: (Pause) You know the oncoming film Fever Pitch?
CF: Yes.
BJ: What do you see as the main differences and similarities between the character Paul from Fever Pitch and ... ?
CF: And?
BJ: (Sheepishly) Mr. Darcy.
CF: No one's ever asked me that.
BJ: Haven't they?
CF: No. I think the main differences are ...
BJ: Do you mean it's a really obvious question?
CF: No. I mean no one's ever asked me that.
BJ: Don't people ask you that all the time?
CF: No, no. I can assure you.
