“Us creatives have been stuck in for too long, I’ve been going crackers on Lego, I don’t know why. I am obsessed with it – I had to smash it all up the other day, we’d run out of room.

“There’s only so long you can have Hogwarts Castle sitting there when you’ve got a six-year-old son desperate to smash it all up, so we did. But a little part of me died inside.

He continued: “There’s creatives coming back to work and we’re all chomping at the bit so we’re all bringing out A game to the table.
