Sunday with Sara Pascoe: ‘Coffee at home gives us energy to walk to the coffee shop’

Early riser? I’ve a younger child, Theodor, so 11.30pm Saturday is the primary rise up, then 2am, 4.30am, 6.50am… Then you might have a alternative: keep up or attempt to sleep till 9.

What’s subsequent? My husband, Steen [Raskopoulos, actor/comedian], or I say, ‘We could do a cafetière?’ That’s the code. Meaning: ‘We’re up now.’ The at-home espresso offers us the power to stroll to the espresso store to have an oat flat white. We do quite a lot of Deliveroo-ing breakfast.

Train? A stroll with Mouse – he’s half-Jack Russell, half-springer spaniel. We dwell in Crouch Finish in north London and the Parkland Walkway goes from Finsbury Park to Highgate. I'd do Zoom yoga.

Sunday wardrobe? Just about what I slept in. You go to mattress in some model of a tracksuit, get up, then it’s 4pm and there’s no level getting dressed. My fashion is sort of a nine-year-old with a debit card. I like shiny colors and issues with animals. The opposite day, I obtained to a gig and realised I used to be nonetheless in my pyjamas. I needed to maintain my coat on.

Lunch? Steen makes one of the best roast potatoes I’ve ever eaten.

Childhood recollections? Mum was a single father or mother and making packed lunches was so laborious, she’d make all our sandwiches on Sunday and put them within the freezer. Daily, we’d hope they’d defrosted by lunchtime. Generally we used to warmth them up with our bottoms so we might eat them.

Sunday soundtrack? Did you see Six: The Musical? It’s implausible. I’m listening to that on a loop and Self Esteem’s Prioritise Pleasure. I sing and dance and fake I’m on Strictly getting 9s and 10s.

Work? I may need a gig. Sundays will not be as raucous. It’s pretty other than one or two individuals who have had an excessive amount of to drink at 3pm. Now, it’s 8pm and, first they’re lairy, then asleep. Being heckled by a loud night breathing man… You possibly can’t win that row.

Within the night? A shower and contemporary pyjamas prepared for against the law drama… that’s the dream. When Line of Obligation was on, it was good. Once I’m not fantasising about dancing on Strictly, my different fantasy is that I ought to have been a police officer. I might at all times play one. Put it on the market: I need to do the brand new Prime Suspect.
