Gary Wilmot

T? You can't be Mr.

T. Gary Wilmot.

Gary Wilmot.

I've always wanted to be Gary Wilmot.

We've seen some lifeguards now run into action into the 80s, all getting to the back of what looks like a van they'd use for a robbery, to be honest.

What was the actual thing? Going down a...

Yeah.

And then, yeah, so I was, like, that's why I started going and talking about Haylen Pace all the time and, you know, Gary Wilmot and Brian Connolly, all the stuff I used to watch.

Yeah.

Do you have a

Well, no, but curiously, there were three celebrities and each celebrity would bring their expert to do a thing.

So obviously when you're young, you're like, it's weird that Gary Wilmot knows somebody who can remember all these barcodes.

You haven't worked out that they've just been assigned some loser, you know, like in the green room.

This is your crazy person.

I've never heard of it either.

And when you push play, what you're greeted with is a slow motion Gary Wilmot, which is the best way to absorb his talent.

Get as much out of it as you can, I say.

in the Walsh family, who, who comes next for Gladiators? And at some point-

Greg Haase's Touchstone is wittily delivered in his earliest scenes, though he is no match for the scene-stealing Gareth Snook as Audrey, slapping him while somewhat dubiously insisting, "I am not a slut." With as terrific a performance given by Tim Preston as Phoebe, who exacts great contemporary Shakespeare, jaw-dropped and lip-bitten.

Gary Wilmot, meanwhile, in the second of two roles that he plays, delivers his usual broad and jolly comedy.

Luke McCall leads some of the stirring vocal performances, and there's a real sweetness to Edward Judge as Silvius in his attempts to woo Phoebe.

And there's a fantastic tonal consistency throughout these performances as well, a real sense of camaraderie within this company, which is one of the things that makes this production of As You Like It as special as it is.
