00:00I'm Juan Carlos, and I play Bob Newby.

00:02So Juan is basically in the play, and he's a light and sound guy.

00:06God, I love this coat.

00:08It's not easy to wear, is it?

00:09You know, beauty is pain.

00:11I think the duffers have Christianed the spiky coat,

00:13which is basically Bob's coat for the play.

00:16It's in a sort of a fake fur, and I've turned the fake fur upside down

00:20in order to sort of make it spiky-looking,

00:22and I think that this is having an ouching in season five.

00:25I remember the first time I put this on, it blew my mind.

00:27I just started, and I remember thinking, I can't wait for everyone else in rehearsals to see this.

00:32To see this, yeah.

00:33Do you know what? I think we should try the antlers,

00:35because you had a problem with them the other day, didn't you?

00:38How many times have we had to go through kind of changing this?

00:40Yeah.

00:41But now they kind of fit perfect.

00:43I run on, I tell Joyce, I can do the part.

00:45I run off, and I have about maybe five seconds to get into the coat and get into the antlers,

00:50and I have our wonderful wardrobe person, Amelia, back there,

00:53holding the two straps open, and come on, get in it, and I just run out.

00:56This is fast change, hell.

00:58Costumes on, off, magnets, poppers.

01:02It is a continuous thing.
