talent named Jim with an extraordinary

day a single phone call turned his life upside down. Jim Kay has been

asked to reimagine a magical world, but not just any world, it's the

world of Harry Potter. Thanks to the films we are all familiar with the

look of JK Rowling's most famous creation. But for the past two years

Jim has been reinventing the world of Harry Potter from scratch for a

brand-new illustrated series of books. I hadn't done many children's

books and the ones I had done work quite dark so I did a book called

the monster calls, which was very dark, mostly black and white. I

hadn't really drawn children before. So it was huge pressure. The first

six months I didn't sleep well at all. I was thinking too much about

what other people would think. The thing children have is that when

they draw fantasy they just do it instinctively. When you're an adult

you are second-guessing. There is a big sign above my door that says

it's fantasy stupid. When I was drawing Hogwarts, it's not supposed

to look like it stands up, it's supposed to be held up by magic. You

have to try and remember what it was like as a child to just let your

imagination run free. To help Jim visualise the inhabitants of this

magical world, he bases the book's characters are real people,

including its star, Harry Potter. My character for Harry I spotted on the

train. He was just, he had something, I thought, I'd love to

draw that, just striking, big eyes, unusual. So Lavinia rolled clay

Caldwell became Harry. I'm reuniting them along with his mum, Alison, and

adding a touch of magic. Lots of cake. You don't have to read it all,

don't worry. How does it feel knowing you are the boy who has

inspired how Harry Potter will look up quite a big deal, isn't it? Well,

yeah, when I found out I went a bit crazy. Eventually when I was allowed

to tell my friends none of them believe me, even when I showed

pictures of it. They thought it was a bit bizarre really. It must be

surreal to have Jim, up to you. Very surreal, somebody you don't know

begins to talk to you. Very quickly. I knew I had two stops to chat to

his mum and say, I'm an illustrator. I couldn't say what it was, all

secret, would you be able to help me out on the project? How did the

relationship developed for you to get what you need it? We meet, don't

we, at once, twice a year? Around that. I ask if your model for me.

That is his mum being a demented, strangling Clay. This is acting,

Alison. Clay and his mum have never been to Jim's studio, so the one

show has arranged for an exclusive preview of the next book in the

series. Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. You'll be the first

person to see it. The detail is just... Incredible. That's .be.

I was on the chair. Chair for a broomstick. Does it make you feel

proud? Immensely proud, they are stunning pictures, stunning. It's

something we'll keep and treasure. It can't be easy trying to reimagine

a subject that has been so embedded in the public mind. But in his own

unique style Jim Kay has managed to create the world of Harry Potter in

a way that is both fitting and incredibly distinctive. For Potter

fans like me it means there is a whole new world to explore. Let me

get this right... Evanesco! Bewildered Harry Potter goes on and

on. Let's talk about this new novel you've written, Graham. A novel,

yes. APPLAUSE Why not? We were talking about

adoption earlier on. Can I say, I feel that applause is justified. I

wish you'd been in my office when I was typing "At end". Was it a real

task is to mark honestly I loved doing it, I didn't know whether I

would. I've always said I wanted to write a novel. I got to the age I

thought, I need to stop talking and do it. I did worry, have I given

myself the longest, harder stonework in the world? But, in fact, I loved

it, I loved spending time in the location, it's set in Ireland, I

loved spending time with the characters. And also it's not

collaborative, there's no talking to people about what we're going to do.

No, I'll tell you what's happening. I don't think I would like that all

the time, but it was a break from my other jobs. It was a surprise,

though, because this was very different from what you have done

before. I think a lot of people would not imagine Graham Norton

writing about this plot. Give us a flavour of the story. I always

thought I would write a kind of urban, urbane, quite cynical and

funny novel. In fact, what I have written is a sort of bittersweet

romance, with a tone of melancholy. Quite traditional. Very traditional.

There are some laughs along the way, and ultimately it is quite

optimistic. But there is an air of sadness through it. Where did that

come from? They say you should write about what you know, but I didn't

want to be in this book. So there are no gay characters. It is not set

in London and it is not about the media. My life is so peculiar that

by the time I got back to something people could relate to that I knew,

I was back in Ireland in the late 70s. That was the last time I had a

life like that. That was why I ended up setting it there. And rural

Ireland, every 100 yards, you pass a house and there is an extraordinary

story associated with the people who live there. And Irish people love

telling ghost stories. And they are not about people we love -- people

love telling those stories. They are not about people you know, but you

store them away and collect them. So lots of things that happen in this

book are versions of stories I knew growing up. Without giving it away,

the end is left open so that you could do a sequel with the main

character. Did you enjoy the process enough to do a sequel? I enjoyed it

enough to write another book. For me, that was just the end of the

book. It was only afterwards that people said, is there going to be

another? And that had not struck me. So I don't know. But if the people

demand it... I will step up. What would you do next time to make it

easier for yourself, or do differently? I just loved doing it.

I would probably try and take more time off, rather than trying to

squeeze it in. But of course, when you are busy, you get stuff done. I

thought I would write this book at my holiday home in Ireland. No. I

was just drunk leaning against a wall that. I got it written in

London, where I am working. So I would have to be off and think,

today is a book day. And I would look forward to doing that. Unlike

an autobiography, you are competing with the big boys. You have had some

good reviews, so we look forward to the next one. Thank you. It is a

gentle crime story, but I hope people enjoy it. It is out on

Thursday, and you can see Graham Norton in Graham Norton's show. We

will give you a plug while you are here. On iPlayer, you can see the

two of us together. Who are your guests? Now you're asking. Danny

DeVito, John Bishop, Miranda Hart, Ewan McGregor and somebody else. Sam

Neill. And Amber Riley singing. Time to get serious. If you believe the

weather forecasters, this week could be your last chance before winter to

get out and paint your garden fence. That is part of my weekend job list!

Honestly. I have a shed to do and a climbing frame. An insight into

Matt's world. Dom is on hand with some time-saving tips.

Old fence panels. To find out if these products are better than a

humble print, I have come to the royal botanic gardens in Edinburgh

to meet defence expert Neil Baxter. Fences and sheds have to be

preserved. Give me your opinion on these fence sprayers. The joy of

them is that you get out, get the job done and you can sit down with a

gin and tonic. I feel a One Show test coming on. We will be running

the rule over paint sprayer is. The market leaders against two own

brands from Wickes and B and Q. I'm not getting my mitts dirty, I have

enlisted the help of some local professionals. Yes, a team of fake

tan spraying beauticians from Edinburgh College. You are obviously

used to getting deliberately giving punters a bronze once over. Before

the team get to work, they will have to get to know how to use their new

tools, which Irena seems to be struggling with. She has got the

cheapest sprayer from B's Diall range. Megan is ready to go with the

second most expensive sprayer from Cuprinol. While is getting more

paint on the floor than in our most expensive gadget, the precision

finish from Ronseal. And she has not even start this spring the fence

yet. And Natalie are taking it all in her stride, as she will be

keeping it simple with a paintbrush. Don't know what the big deal is. It

has taken them 40 minutes just to load up with paint. Fake tanners,

are you ready? US! Go! And they are off. Is this how you do your

tanning? No. All four sprayers need pressure to get the paint from the

pot to the fence, and Jenna is struggling with the settings. What

is going on here? You are obviously on the wrong setting, because it is

dribbling out. But not everyone is having paint problems. You are

steaming ahead. And what about Natalie and her paintbrush? The

least amount of preparation and the hardest amount of work. Just five

minutes gone, and Emma, with the Ronseal sprayer, is finished. It was

really easy to use. Megan is second with the two blaster. But it is

tougher going for Jenna and the Wickes one can sprayer. It looks

like melted chocolate. And I read finishes fourth with B's own

brand. Look at the state of that! Looks like you have plastered it,

not painted it. And as we approach the half-hour mark, lagging behind

his Natalie with her paintbrush. But with one final stroke, she is done,

and our five fence panels are covered. But look at these clogged

nozzles. They have been bunged up by the wax and the paint. I know from

experience with those sprayers that when you have finished with them,

you have got to clean up the pipes, the nozzles, the tubes, basically

the whole shebang. And that is another 20 minutes of work. In

today's challenge, the quickest sprayer with the least splatter was

the Ronseal precision finish, our most expensive gadget. But good luck

cleaning that up. So with your shed and climbing frame in mind, are you

going to do a paintbrush or are you going to buy a sprayer? 100%

paintbrush. I am old school. And your new film is called Swiss Army

Man. That's the best Segway I have heard! So this to us. It is quite a

roll. I am intrigued to find out how they got you to do the movie.

Everyone thinks I need to be convinced. I really didn't. It was

an amazing script. Yes, a very weird script, but I have read lots of

weird terrible scripts, and this was a great weird script. I basically

play a magical dead body who starts, after a few minutes of the film,

starts coming back to life, and he is discovered by Paul Dano's

character, who is a hopeless lost soul wandering on a beach. And he

finds my character and they go on a magical journey together. It sounds

weird, but it is actually a beautiful story about two human

beings, although one is quite dead. A small detail. Your special. -Ness,

and that is why I need you to help me. Back in civilisation, there are

7 billion other living people on the planet, just running around and

blinking and breathing and eating, and you used to be one of them. You

were probably just looking for happiness. This is what you look

like when you're happy. We will look for someone to make you happy, a

friend, a girlfriend or dog. Good boy. Sometimes, you might be lucky

enough to bump into the one person you want to spend the rest of your

life with, and that is love. You take a lot away from it afterwards,

because teaching you about life and what is important. And it is a movie

that is about joy. There are these two odd characters, but he is

reminding this dead body of why life worth living, and in the pro-sex

exploring the things that make us happy. It is a brilliant performance

from both yourself and Paul Dano. To give him credit, he has to hump you

around for the entire film. He said he has never been stronger than when

he finished this film. I am not a particularly heavy person, but I am

the weight of a human being and he was lucky me around. That was a line

he improvised halfway through the film. There is a moment in the film

where I am not supposed to be moving it, and you can see me slightly

moved my head to avoid him seeing me laugh. It was a bit that was not in

the script. Well, coaxing. Yes! A lot of things happen that are very

amusing, and yet you can't even blink. No. I got very good at not

blinking. There is also a fear because Paul is giving his amazing

performance and I am just lying there, there is a sense of, if I

even move a tiny bit, I have ruined his whole scene. So that fear kept

you very still. In all seriousness, you do say this is the film you are

most proud of, particularly one scene where you are on the bus. Yes,

it is hard to explain, as the whole film is. But this scene, if I had to

let go of every other scene I have ever been in, this is the most

beautiful scene I have ever been part of. It is about five minutes

long. And he is teaching me about music and singing and excitement.

Paul's character is talking about life back home, and it is an

extraordinary moment. And we get to sing on the soundtrack as well. Me

and Paul provide a lot of the soundtrack. The soundtrack is

amazing. It is us and Andy Hull from the band Manchester Orchestra. The

bits that are impressive were not me. That is it for tonight. Thank

you to our guests, Daniel Radcliffe and Graham Norton. Daniel's film

Swiss Army Man is in cinemas now and Graham Norton's novel Holding is out

on Thursday. Tomorrow, straight from the Starship Enterprise, we will be

joined by Star Trek's Mr Sulu himself, George Takei. Good night,

everybody.
