I grew up watching comedy legends Greg and Sanjeev but after all our nights out I know they're not.'
ACTING opposite Still Game legends Greg Hemphill and Sanjeev Kohli in new BBC comedy series Dinosaur was a dream come true for Bridgerton star Lorn Macdonald.
The 30-year-old, who has also appeared in Outlander and Shetland, admits filming with the well-kent duo had him in kinks - as did the time they spent in the pub after the cameras stopped rolling.
Fifer Lorn plays the male lead in the hilarious series, produced by the team behind Fleabag.
The Kirkcaldy native and Raith Rovers fan, who plays Philippa Finch's husband Albion in Bridgerton, said: "As a kid I used to watch these guys on the telly and think 'Wow!' so to be on set with them was mindblowing, "I pulled Greg aside and said, 'Do you realise the effect you are having on all the young guys in the cast?" "I remember sitting having a meal with him and thinking, 'Hold on, I'm sat here joking and laughing with a Scottish comedy legend.
"I was making fun of him saying, 'Who'd have thought I'd be higher up the call sheet than Greg Hemphill?' and he found that funny" Lorn, who won a Scottish Bafta for his role in acclaimed movie Beats, added: "Greg and Sanjeev kept saying they felt like a couple of old fogies but they certainly didn't act that. They were out with the young cast every night and were always in it for the long haul and didn't drift off.
They are not old fogies in our eyes - just old legends." Dinosaur, which airs on BBC Scotland next week, follows Nina, played by the show's writer Ashley Storrie, an autistic woman in her 30s, who adores her life living with her sister and best friend Evie.
However, when Evie rushes into an engagement after only six weeks and makes Nina her maid of honour, Nina is floored.
