Steve Pemberton On His League of Gentleman Breakthrough and Inspiration For Inside No.9

Steve pemberton is a class actor! Brilliant in all his productions❤hello someone, whoever you are.

Steve Pemberton. Absolutely HILARIOUS characters.

I’m guessing Steve Pemberton is a massive alcoholic or suffering from some kind of pulmonary illness?!

Why is Rob a fan of Jimmy saville

I love all the League, but Steve has always been my favourite. So humble for such incredible talent

the BAFTA was well and truly deserved.

Steve looks like he's rather fond of the sauce.

LOL Mrs Dowding - horrible teacher, a prototype 'Mrs Snotty' Katharine Birbalsingh. she was deputy head when I was at St Pricks (St Michael's Chorley). Wonder if sweaty Lumb of the library and Latin inspired a few too - always though Harvey Denton / Herr Lipp had a lot of 'sweaty's' slimy character in there

Inside No 9 has drama, comedy, pathos,slapstick, music-hall and horror and writing, that is up there with Galton and Simpson and La Frenais and Dick Clement: every episode-a modern classic.

Steve, sorry to be so personal in such a public way but I have no way to message you privately. I can see that you have rosacea....so do I. My advice to you would be to go lower carb and in particular, cut out grains/gluten. My rosacea has improved almost totally by doing those things. Good luck and love your work! ❤

Rob Brydon, "Sometimes I see people in the street, and I think, I could play him."
Ben Miller, "Are you lookin' at me?"

Herr Lipp is one of my favorite characters, because I speak German. Pemberton's German accent is very good. Normally, English native speakers are terrible with foreign languages.

Two extraordinary talented guys - their body of work is so good I can watch it repeatedly and enjoy it all the more.

Finding out that someone as talented as Steve had no family background in theatre is really reassuring as someone who also has no family history in what I've wanted to achieve in my life. Shows you can be the best of the best and you don't necessarily need to have grown up with the right influences from a young age.

Is it just me or is it toe-curlingly awkward when Rob begs people to be in their shows? In a sort of joking-but-not-joking way. I mean, say it once for a laugh, but don't go on and on about it.... cringey!

fucking gold. gotta love these two. it's like itv v bbc. behemoths both. mein camp.

Steve looks like the ghost of a clown these days. Still, the best thing to come out of Chorley ever.

Steve Pemberton is a phenomenal actor; he disappears into whatever character he is playing, from idiotic to scheming to pitiful. He's astonishing.

I find it hard to believe they were so incredibly intimidated by David bloody Walliams considering the dramatic difference in quality between the output of them!

Steve is a legend

Masterclass! Great interview. Pemberton is the best.

Vale Papa Lazarou the most terrifying zany character wow! 🤡👹 Thank you Gentlemen ….and Dave.

Benidorm he carried that show

I've worked in film for over 15 years and Steve Pemberton is my favourite actor and script writer of all time, a genius

Lovely stuff.

League of gentlemen would never be given the green light now in this time of pussy brained wokeness. I loved the dark sickness of those characters. To laugh yet be repulsed is a great talent.

Love all the guys from the LoG! Sad that Inside No9 is ending but excited to see what they do next. Was thinking of one of his characters this week as I have been on holiday in Whitby, you see Whitby Scampi on the menu a lot. Made me think of the debt collectors. "I was right to looking forward to that scampi!" 😂😂

what about a brydon character who seems so nice but is really drugging pemberton so he is frail and needs help giving brydon the excuse to cling on to him .a munchausens by proxy type thing...this might be the only way to squeeze nice brydon into a sinister role

Steve is one of our greatest character actors and an incredible writer.

There was a Welsh character in the last series. The accent was average. Sorry.

It’s was just grindingly unfunny.

if they ever make a film or tv special about Sir Alex Ferguson.. i think Steve would nail the role!

Steve is hot af.

Psychoville was my favourite but ive caught up on my Inside no.9 and it could be my favourite out of the 3 they have made, fantastic. 3 of the best shows ever made, shows how good they are as writers and actors. I hope they go past series 9 [as unlikely as that is]

@rob where did you get that amazing hair transpant from? they did a proper good job for saying you had it a long time ago

Steve Pemberton is genuinely one of the most brilliant talents this country has ever produced. Hilarious, terrifying, likeable, creative...he's got it all. His range is incredible. Inside No.9 can be a bit self indulgent at times, but by God it shows his acting and writing chops.

Loved the way the monkey just stopped the conversation. But is it a monkey or a chimp? We need details.

This steve guy seem like he's nice i suppose.

Steve Pemberton is one of my favourite actors/writers/directors. He is so incredibly versatile, and everything he does is perfection.

Brydon and Pemberton?! Woo hoo!!!

...and then came an episode where a welsh man, at a wellness retreat in the wilds of wales, finds at breakfast absolutely nobody in the rest of the episode...no birds singing, cars won't start, phones missing, no staff, no life. Worries he is in a coma, or a movie, insane, or somesuch. However...his memory starts returning of how everyone died. He is the last man alive. But there is a huge physical wall around wales he can't get over...then he hears the howls...

Seeing Steve slip between Herr Lipp, Pauline and Pop made me giddy with happiness

i LOVE how much rob loves Steve's impersonations. the joy in his face is everything. love the show. great job xx

Steve and Reece would be two of my dream dinner party guests.

lovely, lovely. well said rob. steve is a genius, and you gave him a great mic opportunity. thanks a lot!

Steve Pemberton is my secret crush.

League of Gentlemen to Benidorm. This man really is a master of characters.

And Rob never did an inside no 9 episode....wasted opportunity there

You really have to ruin a sweet and emotional story with a joke...
