Tilly: "You should watch it because you will have a laugh and love it." Tilly: "We discovered early on that Floppy used to run when the Director said ‘action’ so we had to change it to ‘bananas’." We had to keep filming the scene whilst the animal trainer went to look for him." George: "In one scene we were in the park and Floppy just ran off and it took us ages to get him back. What’s it like working with Floppy the dog?įreddie: "He’s so funny, he ran away once when we were on set - he’s very silly." At the end of those scenes we would have a big hug, arrange what we are going to do that evening and tell each other it’s all fine and that we’re still best friends." Tilly: "The characters often fall out and Biff will often say “Oh Chip, why’d you do that for”. Sometimes we see Biff and Chip falling out, how does that work? George: "I love it, we’re quite similar people and we’re best friends now." Tilly: "George and I are so similar! At the first audition I met him and really hoped he was going to get the part, we became friends that day and now we are best friends." George and Tilly, what’s it like playing twins? Kipper is really funny and he makes me laugh." I read the books as a kid, Chip was my favourite character and I’m so excited to be playing him."įreddie: "It’s so much fun, we get to dress up a lot. George: "Amazing, amazing, amazing! I love it. Tilly: "It’s so surreal, I read the books growing up and Biff was my hero as a four year old so it’s great playing her now." When I saw the script, I was SO excited to play her as she’s just like me." Tilly says: "We’re very similar, I’m very energetic and confident and like to take charge. Chip is a little younger than me and he has a fringe which I don’t usually, I had one cut for this role." George says: "Basically, no difference really, we’re quite similar.
