Most people will probably know Paddy Considine for his more serious roles in films like Bourne Ultimatum, in which he plays newspaper reporter Simon Ross, and in Shane Meadow's Dead Man's Shoes. Now he's back in a comedy that took just five days and £50,000 to make, the so-called mockrockumentary Le Donk & Scor-zay-zee. He plays a glorified roadie for Arctic Monkeys who's trying to promote a UK rapper.

Do you like him as a character?
How did filming work? Did you have to do lots of takes or did you just go for it?
Arctic Monkeys feature in this. You've been in their videos. How did that friendship happen?

I guess a lot of people will know you from your more serious roles in Dead Man's Shoes and perhaps Red Riding. Are you hoping people will see a different side to you?
