0:15:50 > 0:15:52It might be seven. I'm getting old now.

0:15:54 > 0:15:58and your last one you streamed live on the internet.

0:15:58 > 0:15:59Why?

0:15:59 > 0:16:02It was kind of a way of lifting the veil on the recording process,

0:16:02 > 0:16:06cos I think generally, there's been a kind of fashion

0:16:06 > 0:16:10in the music industry to make it seem so much...

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Almost so much harder than it is and so mysterious,

0:16:14 > 0:16:16and I just wanted to show people you can just sit in a chair

0:16:16 > 0:16:20and play a song with some mics around you.

0:16:20 > 0:16:24I made the decision to not kind of cover up anything and people did...

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Yeah. It was terrifying to begin with

0:16:38 > 0:16:41but I actually think it helped, because I'm more of a live artist

0:16:41 > 0:16:43than I am a studio artist, and it kind of bridged the gap.

0:16:43 > 0:16:47Ah, yes. Are you going to do it again with your next one?

0:16:47 > 0:16:48I think so.

0:16:48 > 0:16:50I'm still deconstructing it

0:16:50 > 0:16:52and looking at what the implications were of doing it.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55Because it had never been done before,

0:16:55 > 0:16:57we're still working out what it meant.

0:20:13 > 0:20:15It may be a dead heat,

0:20:15 > 0:20:18but what we try to do as sketch writers is you try to drill

0:20:18 > 0:20:21into the character of the politicians and the sort of vanities

0:20:21 > 0:20:24that we might be able to detect, heaven forbid, in some of them.

0:20:27 > 0:20:29at the treatment they receive.
