were a lot of critics

Yeah, it's always a bad moment,
isn't it?
[Sam]
Yeah.
She must've been so proud.
[Graham]
I did it onstage.
Um, the director had the idea.
He said, um,
"I was thinking of you being
nude in this scene, Graham.
-How do you feel about that?"
-[Sam] Mm.
And I was so into it
and everything.
My mum and dad, they always
came to see everything.
My mum dragged my dad
to everything.
I'd warned them
that I was gonna be nude.
Yeah.
And after the play,
my dad just looked
at me and went
"There was no need
for that, Graham."
-[Sam chuckles]
-[Graham] "No need for that."
"There's-there's
no need for that.
We'll never talk
about it again."
