Maggie: [Trying to persuade Andy to ask Ross Kemp for a line] Just talk to him. Tell him you loved him in Eastenders, Spandau Ballet... Andy: He wasn't in Spandau Ballet. You're thinking of Martin Kemp.
Maggie: Aren't they brothers?
Andy: In Spandau Ballet it's Martin and Gary Kemp.
Maggie: So who's this one?
Andy: Ross Kemp.
Maggie: Who's his brother?
Andy: I... I don't know if he's got a brother.
Maggie: Yes, he has, he has. The bald one, looks just like him, works in the Queen Vic.
Andy: Phil Mitchell?
Maggie: Yes.
Andy: Well, they're brothers on the show but they're not brothers in real life.
Maggie: Yes, they are! They're the Mitchell brothers.
Andy: [Getting exasperated] What do you mean the Mitchell brothers? You know his name's Ross Kemp!
[Maggie is still looking very puzzled]
Andy: What bit's confusing you?
Maggie: [After a pause, mumbles] They're brothers.
Andy: "They're brothers".
[An extra walks by wearing a futuristic sci-fi costume]
Andy: Is that confusing you too? Do you think we've landed in the future?
Maggie: Shut your face!
