Here We Go | Interview with Ed Kear

How was filming the series of Here We Go?

One of the best jobs ever. Basically Tom wrote a bunch of scenes for me to appear in where we sat around and ate steak, pizza, burgers and tiramisu a bunch of times from different angles. I owe him dearly for that. He must have looked at his scripts, considered my skill set and been like ‘Get me Ed Kear!’

What can you tell us about Dean and Robin’s friendship?

They strike me as two wannabe blokey blokes who just ‘get each other’. Kindred spirits. In their minds they’re some seriously cool cats too, just not in many other people’s! They have similar interests and similar senses of humour. To me, Dean is the extremely ignorant third wheel in Robin and Cherry’s relationship. I suspect in Dean’s ideal world he, Cherry and Robin all live together in a two bed. He’d see no issue with that. ‘No sweat bro, when you have kids, I’ll just slide into the garage.’

Dean has no filter and I think Robin loves that, even if it often gets him into trouble. I think perhaps his closeness to Dean is a bit of Robin not wanting to let go and fully grow up. They’re basically a couple of 15 year olds when they’re together.

There are some real laugh-out-loud moment this series, what was your favourite scene to shoot?

Bowling out of the ‘support vehicle’ with an injured Paul aka Jim Howick was fun. Also robot dancing salsa, which I’m sure will catch on.

Did you get any career advice from your cast mates?

‘Other roles won’t come with this amount of on screen food, fill yer pockets kid.’
