Looks like he was animated during the talk!

That's posibly a more diplomatic answer than what I first thought. Ha!

I meant it in a positive way.

Might be quite interesting...some old pics of Martin, there!

I watched the trailer and was not impressed. But this may also be due to my shock at hearing Martin talking about "smacking" his kids and calling them little f******. This makes me feel really uncomfortable. It was even in Austrian television as a friend told me.

I know.
Back in the good ole' days, when Amanda and Martin were still together...oh and also when Simon Pegg was still on Twitter!
Anyhow, I remember Amanda laughing to Simon about a then...10 year old son swearing.
Martin is from a large, traditional Catholic family...I have no doubt that those kids would have 'got a good hiding', if they misbehaved.

Oh, I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I've seen those quotes and seen other people backing him up over it - I did read him saying something similar a while back and it made me uncomfortable then, so I avoided reading the articles. I don't think he's an awful person for doing it or admitting to it, of course, and it's probably good that he's highlighting the normal things parents go through, but I do feel sad that the tone I'm picking up on from the artcles coming up is that it's fine to smack, swear and shout at children. Big difference between showing the struggles of parents to do the right thing and sometimes getting it wrong (who doesn't?, and condoning it or even seeing it as desirable.

Well said, Liberty. I feel the same.

I feel like I've missed something about the interview quotes you are referring to...
I thought the teaser on Instagram not that bad, though. The line about "Who is happy with two kids?" was not my favourite, but I know there's struggles for parents and they can get impatient during the difficult situations. Hard to judge the whole series based on a few seconds, though, unless there's more available that I'm not aware of.

An interview about "Breeders" with Martin and Daisy Haggard:

Only just caught up on the interview...I think mentioned above.
Thought he was reasonable in what he said about Sherlock.

Remembering his old smoking days and Dad duty...
