Olivia Colman and Benedict Cumberbatch's BBC Radio 1 appearance starts off as a simple game to promote The Roses, but it escalates gloriously from there.

The clip above starts with a round of "Unpopular Opinion" with host Greg James, which sees members of the public calling up to give their controversial thoughts on random topics like Play-Doh and restaurant bread, before quickly escalating to conversations about peeing in the shower and an unexpected phone cameo from Paul Rudd himself.
