Hot priest lets off steam

AnDrEW SCoTT, the hot priest in Fleabag, is getting hot under the collar about cultural elitism,

‘one of the things that makes me angry is snobbery about art,’ says the actor. ‘It’s been unfairly reported that fans of TV shows make noise in the theatre and behave like animals. That’s not my experience at all. And if people are a little bit more vocal or show their enthusiasm in a slightly different way than polite, reserved silence, then I don’t see the problem.’

He also believes there is nothing wrong with TV bingeing.

‘I always make this analogy about box sets. A four-hour Shakespeare play? People watch box sets for six hours — and they watch them because they’re good.’
