Eleanor Bron explained that audiences want something new from actors all the time. Bron said she was leery of all the newness because people would get bored. John Bird added that at times, it's difficult to be creative. In the end, they both spoke of their looking around for a two-person show to do together.

Eleanor Bron said television provided its audience with too many facts. Bron also said it’s dreadful to hear about all the misery and tragedy going on in today’s world. In contrast, John Bird said the television offered its audience an opportunity to learn more about world affairs. Switching to the topic of theatre, Bron said she preferred working in the theatre because, as an actor, she has more control over what’s done at every performance. In contrast again, Bird said he did not like acting on the stage.
