At 17:15 · chapter starts 16:30
Tom paints a vivid picture of a childhood built on stories, laughter, and brotherly chaos. His father, a stand-up who only worked after the kids were asleep, instilled a culture of contribution — good was never a good enough answer at the dinner table. No friend Tom brought home was safe from being 'rinsed' by his dad warming up for an evening show.

Any of my mates that come over when…" 17:15 Four brothers across a wide age range meant the house was perpetually in motion; it was only after all the boys moved out that Tom realized his parents — not the kids — were the messy ones. His brother Harry worked as his assistant for years and now co-runs a production company with him; youngest brother Paddy, the painter and slight introvert, worked in Spider-Man 4's art department. Amy and Tom bond over the shared experience of oldest-child responsibility.
