What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow to the palace. Our guest tonight stars in the new lighthouse drama Harbor Lights, and he is joining us live. Ignatius Brindle, welcome.
Ignatius BrindleThank you, Gloria. It's lovely to be awake at this hour, and I want you to know I'm very well rested.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNews24 reports Queen Camilla has revealed that King Charles has an off-putting nightly habit. The outlet did not make it sound flattering.
Ignatius BrindleWell, every marriage has its rituals, and I think we should be gentle with a man in his own bedroom.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorGentle. You have strong feelings about bedrooms, Ignatius.
Ignatius BrindleI have strong feelings about everything. It's why Harbor Lights is a hit, and I sleep like a baby, by the way.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTell us about the show.
Ignatius BrindleI play a lighthouse keeper who has not spoken to another human in nineteen winters. It's very physical, and the lamp is a character.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe lamp is a character.
Ignatius BrindleShe has the best arc. Critics say she's the only one who lights up every scene.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLet me ask you directly. Do you have a nightly habit your co-stars find off-putting?
Ignatius BrindleAbsolutely not. I'm told I'm a very peaceful presence, and I sleep like a baby, a baby on a runway.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA runway.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBut you didn't answer the question. Have complaints been filed?
Ignatius BrindleFine. Three of them.
Ignatius BrindleThe sound crew built a wall around my trailer, and I sleep like a baby, a baby in a cement mixer.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThree.
Ignatius BrindleI keep foam earplugs for the cast. I call them my understudies, and they've never once asked for a raise.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorLightning round. Favorite pillow, firm or soft?
Ignatius BrindleFirm. Something that can take a punishing night.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWindow open or closed?
Ignatius BrindleClosed, for the neighbors. They have an arrangement with the coast guard.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorHarbor Lights is on Tidewater Television. Thank you, Ignatius, and sleep well.
Ignatius BrindleI will, beautifully. Could somebody mail my earplugs back from your desk? They're the ones in your ears.
