Lets get lost now!
Hes made such a bond with Ted and he owes Ted such a lot.
But at the same time, his major objective is the teams success.
Thats what he reluctantly has to work with.
All he can do is intimate his concerns.
I liked this quote from Zava when he first met Higgins: You are the glue.
He spouted a lot of nonsense, but this rang true to me.
Do you agree?How he knew that is something else.
I really loved that moment.Max Osinski what a performance there.
I had to watch that episode twice for his entrance into the locker room.
I loved that appraisal by Zava and believe it.
Maybe he is the glue.
Hes responsible for some major things.
He doesnt necessarily acknowledge that he brings Dr. Sharon onto the team in the second season.
These are all domino effects that Higgins, in particular, has on everyone.
I remember when Chet Baker died.
I remember he came screaming to me in his Liverpool accent,Hes dead!
Hes actually dead!And then you hear the stories around his death.
Was it a Turkish drug gang?
Did someone push him?
It was so clever ofBrendan Huntto work that story in.
Its purposeful because its a reset and literally a rethink about the relationships within the team.
They walk away refreshed and recalibrated.
Without giving away spoilers, of course its going to have an effect.
Did you walk away from this episode with a different perspective on Higgins?Surely.
But you dont get to appreciate where hes coming from.
His whole history, love, and passion for it.
Early on in the bebop days, they had battle of the bands.
Who could perform the most florid and extemporary?
Theres a connection there.
What the hell, Ive gone completely off track here.
No, hey, tell me more about jazz.Higgins isnt always appreciated or acknowledged.
The character will never forget it and always relish that night.
Its a special moment.
How did you land on that particular Chet number?Brendan chose that one specifically.
The song is about forgetting the norm and doing something crazy.
Itll wake us up and well be refreshed.
Thats what happens to most of the characters in the episode.It encapsulates all of the story lines.
Im gonna well up if I start talking about it too much.
Im not happy about that.
Just try it.Im at an age where I can pull that off.
Why do you think it made sense to pair up Higgins with Will?
But the opposite happens.
Its a great choice.
Charlie Hiscock has many of the same comedy quirks that I do.
We make the same noises and punctuations.
That was a delight.
Its almost as if I was his dad and had a sense of pride.
Higgins said that theres nothing more punk rock than Chet Bakers life story.
Whats the last punk rock thing you did?Im so boring.
Im really into a punk-rock band from Vermont called Thus Love.
You know, I go to gigs where Im quite often 30 years older than people.
I went to see one of my favorite bands, Dutch Uncles, on Friday night.
I punked out a little bit to them.
If my kids were there, they wouldve had their faces in their hands.
Thankfully they werent there, so I could be wild.
Venues havent improved since I was a teenager.
You know gigs where youre forced to get your hand stamped?
Im clearly over 18.
I dont need a stamp.
Make me.She didnt make me.
I guess that was a little bit punk rock.
