On @jazziedu is a link to an interview about Child in Time. A bit of it:
Q: The theme is every parent’s worst nightmare. What is it like to play a character in that position?
A: When you’re dealing with something like the loss of a child it’s pretty distressing, I won’t lie. It was a ver unpleasant place to go to. By circumstance it happened that my second boy had been born weeks before, but it’s not a prerequisite to doing this role to be a father; if you were a childless actor trying to imagine it you’d have to be made of stone not to feel the enormity of what that must be like.
So a little shoehorn there, although with the subject matter it was unavoidable that the pillows would come up.

@khanspets provided me with all of the following links, so kudos to her first and foremost!
Here’s the longest version of the interview that we have so far Mom Anon (I’m assuming we’ll see the full version of the interview on Andrew Marr’s show closer to the 24th of September when The Child In Time airs on BBC):
As far as articles go, there are different variations:
Here’s what I think is the full interview: LINK (BBC)
Here’s an article that actually mentions Weirdo by name: LINK (the only one I could find; they also mention the pillows by name)
The way I see it, if a project ever justified talking about his imaginary family, it’s this one. I’m quite pleasantly surprised he didn’t say more to be honest…
The month is young. I’m gonna wait for the full Andrew Marr interview to air and then wait to see how he’ll handle the rest of the press for TCIT before I start baking him cookies ;o)
BC really needs to STFU about his fake family with regards to this particular subject, it’s offensive. I say this because one of my relatives was taken from his parents as a child and turned up in the UK decades later. The interview isn’t that recent and the Fail stuck to the subject matter but the Irish News shoehorned SoFail, which indicates that she’s trying to hijack TCiT promo. She even had them mention something utterly irrelevant: BC’s CBE, the caption worded as if she was laying claim to it. Yep, her NPD hoofprints are all over this and it reminds me of what MM is also doing ATM with the IG…Let’s not forget that Team Soso’s got connections in Dublin like that McGuinness guy. I doubt his hack friends want problems ;)…
