I live in Hampstead, in London, and have a little country retreat on the river in Buckinghamshire. I've been lucky enough to be able to choose exactly where I want to live. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I'm stressed about whether my answers to these questions are honest, interesting, or funny. That I didn't punch more people in the face.

Working my way up from nothing without punching anyone in the face. What do you consider your greatest achievement? Which words or phrases do you most overuse? I guess, overall, I wish everything didn't sag so much these days. What do you dislike most about your appearance? Can you imagine? 'No, I can't come to your party, because you live too far away and most of your friends are morons.' To tell the truth in such situations would be devastating and pointless. Always to do with why I can't make a social function. What do you consider the most overrated virtue? I cast the show in my head as I was writng it. I’ve never been able to do this before without compromise as I've never had such a good budget. I chose all the music from my personal collection. The seed of the idea was 'imagine if you lost everything and didn't care about anything anymore You could do what the fuck you wanted'. I started writing the series in the summer of 2017 while on tour with Humanity.

I only called the kid a 'tubby little ginger cunt' in my close-up when he wasn't around. The joint with 'heroin' in it was made from raspberry leaves. The fish fingers were vegan and I could tell that the kid didn't like them. I really did eat the vegetable curry from the can and the watery Weetabix. It was the best English summer of my adult life. The show was filmed in Old Hemel, Beaconsfield, and Hampstead to create the fictional little town of Tambury. I called her 'Brandy' in the show because I wanted a more traditional name that sounded a bit like her real one so that she would respond during filming. The dog is a German Shepherd called 'Anti'.

Pretty ricky new album 2017
