I can't believe the brilliant Will Ferrell is on the show tonight. It

:00:09.:00:13.

is good news, isn't it? He is on to talk about his new film, it is

:00:13.:00:18.

about his wife throwing him out and she throws his stuff out tonne to

:00:18.:00:21.

the lawn. I have seen the film. I get the

:00:22.:00:31.
:00:32.:00:32.

concept. Who is it that we've upset?

:00:32.:00:42.
:00:42.:00:48.

Oh no! I think we've forgotten So here we are. Hello and welcome

:00:48.:00:52.

to the One Show. We have not been really thrown out

:00:53.:00:57.

by the props man. He doesn't have the power to do that! But we are

:00:57.:01:02.

here to make our guest feel right at home. Ladies and gentlemen, Will

:01:02.:01:05.

Ferrell. APPLAUSE

:01:06.:01:12.

Thank you. Hello, Will.

:01:12.:01:14.

How are you? Come and sit down.

:01:14.:01:18.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. Your dressing room there, it is

:01:18.:01:23.

just a screen, but you were surrounded by glass offices. What

:01:23.:01:27.

was the point of that? It really was ill conceived.

:01:27.:01:32.

Will, your new film is about your wife kicking you out and you set-up

:01:32.:01:35.

home on the lawn. Do you like our effort? I love what you guys have

:01:36.:01:43.

done here. I feel very at home here. I'm getting warmth off this hot

:01:43.:01:48.

plate and this toast! Did you spend nights outside? Did

:01:48.:01:53.

you do the method thing and spend nights... I did not spend nights

:01:53.:01:58.

living on this front lawn even though my character does. I

:01:58.:02:05.

probably should have, but I'm not, you know, I don't really try too

:02:05.:02:11.

hard with my roles in terms of research! I'm a slacker!

:02:11.:02:15.

The home that we shot in front of, they actually lived in it during

:02:15.:02:18.

the night so I don't think they would want me to sleep in the front.

:02:18.:02:22.

No, it would have been weird, but at the end of the film you hold

:02:22.:02:26.

this sale where you sell off your possessions so you were welcome to

:02:26.:02:31.

take anything you see, glitterball, plastic chicken

:02:31.:02:40.

The world's biggest shoes. Are those a 22? They are a size 18.

:02:40.:02:44.

Has anyone claimed the massive carp?

:02:44.:02:48.

That's mine! We will talk about your new film

:02:48.:02:51.

later. We needed a good clear out and a

:02:51.:02:57.

good way to do it is to donate unwanted possessions to charity.

:02:57.:03:01.

The charities encourage it with bags like these through your

:03:01.:03:03.

letterbox, but not all are from genuine charities.

:03:03.:03:09.

The police are cracking down on organised criminals to line their

:03:09.:03:14.

own pockets. Lucy Siegle went to investigate.

:03:14.:03:18.

It is the middle of the night in a Bristol car park and this guy is

:03:18.:03:22.

helping his mate climb into a charity bank to steal clothes. How

:03:22.:03:27.

low can you get? A withdrawal from this bank isn't as easy as it seems

:03:27.:03:32.

and the thief gets stuck inside. He is in there for four hours before

:03:32.:03:39.

emergency services get him out. Many of us are familiar with these.

:03:39.:03:44.

They are charity donation bags, used to collect your old clothes.

:03:44.:03:48.

It sounds a simple system - they recycle your old clobber, turning

:03:48.:03:52.

clothes into profits for charitable causes, but there is one big

:03:52.:03:59.

problem - some of those bags are not genuine. Bogus charity clothes

:03:59.:04:04.

collectors cost charities an estimated �12 million every year.

:04:04.:04:08.

The fraudsters make their money using different methods including

:04:08.:04:12.

stealing genuine charity bags from people's doorsteps and some even

:04:12.:04:17.

print their own fake charity bags or set-up companies that give the

:04:17.:04:23.

impression of being a charity. And today, we are with the police

:04:23.:04:29.

as they take on one of these gangs. Officers from the City of London

:04:29.:04:32.

Police are about to conduct a raid on the warehouse of a gang they

:04:32.:04:38.

believe are operating a fake charity bag scam worth over

:04:38.:04:43.

�100,000 per week. I'm with the officers in one of the

:04:43.:04:46.

vans on our way to the raid. It might seem over the top, there is a

:04:46.:04:49.

lot of officers. There is vans, but the important thing to remember

:04:50.:04:55.

this is a highly lucrative scam and we don't know how this gang will

:04:55.:04:57.

react. Although the police were prepared

:04:57.:05:03.

for the worst, on arrival, the suspects give up without a fight.

:05:03.:05:07.

The scale of this operation is massive. These clothes are sold by

:05:07.:05:11.

the tonne and this fleet of vans leaving here every week means

:05:11.:05:15.

thousands of pounds in lost revenue for the real charities.

:05:15.:05:21.

In total �20,000 in cash was seized during today's operation. It has

:05:21.:05:25.

gone well. We've found our main subjects and they have been

:05:25.:05:32.

arrested. We have found good evidence and we are starting to do

:05:32.:05:36.

our search. We have had nine operations. They are sending vans

:05:36.:05:39.

up to Scotland and Wales. They are nationwide.

:05:39.:05:42.

The police continue to conduct raids throughout the day and in

:05:42.:05:47.

total, four arrests are made. They were later released on bail pending

:05:47.:05:53.

further investigation. The NSPCC is one of many charities

:05:53.:05:58.

affected by gangs like these. Clothing bag theft is a a massive

:05:58.:06:02.

problem for NSPCC, a growing one and one we're desperate to stop. We

:06:02.:06:06.

estimate last year we lost over �130,000 to this unscrupulous crime.

:06:06.:06:11.

There are two easy ways to ensure your clothing bag is legitimate.

:06:11.:06:14.

First, check to make sure it displays the organisation's

:06:14.:06:19.

registered charity number. Second, look for the give

:06:19.:06:25.

worthwhile confidence logo. All charities can do is relied on

:06:25.:06:29.

our continued goodwill and ask us to be vigilant about the types of

:06:29.:06:36.

Louise Richards from the Institute of Fundraising joins us. Is it

:06:36.:06:41.

getting worse? It is, unfortunately. There is a huge demand for good

:06:41.:06:46.

quality second-hand clothes particularly in africk Caa in --

:06:46.:06:52.

Africa and Eastern Europe and that could be worth �50,000 upwards.

:06:52.:06:56.

Organised criminal gangs are targeting clothing collections and

:06:56.:07:01.

making a lot of money at the expense of charities.

:07:01.:07:04.

Lucy told us to look for the charity number on the bags. What

:07:04.:07:10.

else can help us determine if the bags are legitimate? Apart from the

:07:10.:07:14.

spelling mistakes. There is no land line telephone number for you to

:07:14.:07:19.

ring to see if it is a genuine collection. There are into

:07:19.:07:24.

kitemarks. It doesn't talk about a designated cause. It is vague about

:07:24.:07:27.

what cause it is going to. For people at home, they might not

:07:27.:07:31.

care where it ends up really, as long as it is gone and off their

:07:31.:07:34.

doorstep, does it really matter? does matter. It does matter because

:07:34.:07:39.

this is costing charities a lot of money, between �15 million and �20

:07:39.:07:41.

million, a conservative estimate is lost to charities every year

:07:41.:07:45.

because of theft and because of fraud. The Institute of

:07:45.:07:48.

Fundraising's website has a lot of information about how you can tell

:07:48.:07:51.

a genuine collection from a bogus one and it is really important

:07:51.:07:55.

because particularly now in these economic times every penny counts

:07:55.:07:57.

for charities so it is really important that people don't get put

:07:57.:08:01.

off by this. That they are aware of the problems that can happen, but

:08:01.:08:07.

that they keep on giving. Well, what about you? You must have

:08:07.:08:13.

loads of jackets in your garage? feel terrible because I have

:08:13.:08:20.

invested in a company that makes fake charity bags!

:08:20.:08:22.

LAUGHTER I think I have been at the centre

:08:22.:08:25.

of this problem! I didn't realise it. I didn't realise it.

:08:25.:08:33.

There is the answer! LAUGHTER

:08:34.:08:36.

His character gets thrown out of the house by his wife. How do you

:08:36.:08:39.

avoid an argument turning into a full blown feud? The people of

:08:39.:08:42.

Birmingham seem to have the answer. A a survey declared them to have

:08:42.:08:46.

the happiest marriages in Britain, but as Carrie Grant and her husband

:08:46.:08:52.

David find out, even they have The the trouble with my husband,

:08:52.:08:56.

that's him, David. That's me. He never let's go of the remote

:08:56.:09:00.

control. If Carrie had the remote control we

:09:00.:09:06.

would be watching wall to wall CSI. And... There is only so many dead

:09:06.:09:09.

bodies I can take! Do you ever argue?

:09:09.:09:15.

Yes. All the time. LAUGHTER

:09:15.:09:20.

We don't argue. When was the last time you had an argument? This

:09:20.:09:22.

morning. What do you argue about when you

:09:22.:09:28.

argue? Everything. He looked through my phone.

:09:28.:09:31.

His driving does wind me up. When you went off and played

:09:31.:09:40.

football and left me with the children.

:09:40.:09:42.

LAUGHTER Don't kiss me in public, please.

:09:42.:09:47.

What's the longest time that you haven't talked to each? Weeks.

:09:47.:09:51.

I could go weeks. I remember I stopped speaking to

:09:51.:09:58.

him for a few days. The word "sorry" isn't in his

:09:58.:10:02.

vocabulary. Why is that? Because he is a man!

:10:02.:10:07.

As you get older, you learn to live with it because what's the use of

:10:07.:10:14.

arguing? I think we agree to disagree.

:10:14.:10:18.

The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I don't know, I

:10:18.:10:21.

never tried the other side so it might be!

:10:21.:10:26.

Do we argue? Occasionally. All the time!

:10:26.:10:29.

Even the people of Birmingham, it seems, have their problems, but we

:10:29.:10:33.

have the solution because we have Will Ferrell, a very quick agony

:10:33.:10:37.

clinic. If you argue with your partner about bad driving, what

:10:37.:10:42.

should you do? Take the car keys away. Give them a bicycle to ride.

:10:42.:10:47.

What if one partner is checking the other person's text messages?

:10:47.:10:51.

would have their hands removed. Simple as that. It is a simple

:10:51.:10:55.

medical procedure. It is not a big deal.

:10:55.:10:58.

Arguing about your husband going to play football without asking. What

:10:58.:11:02.

should you do? That's every man's right to play football whenever

:11:02.:11:04.

they want. There is no argument there.

:11:04.:11:09.

The women have to succumb to that. You and I would not get on, Will.

:11:09.:11:13.

You're right. Now what about your own life? What

:11:13.:11:18.

gets you going? What makes you argue? You know that she is so

:11:18.:11:23.

beautiful and smart that she always wins every argument. Yes.

:11:23.:11:26.

Good answer. Good answer. You are really in the dog house right now,

:11:26.:11:32.

aren't you? I have been in trouble all summer. I'm climbing my way out.

:11:32.:11:37.

You are the peace maker then. Do you solve arguments with your kids?

:11:37.:11:41.

I just, you know, any issues I have with my children, I just shower

:11:41.:11:49.

them with toys. LAUGHTER

:11:49.:11:52.

And candy and in fact they are on a strict diet of candy.

:11:52.:11:58.

They are slighty plump, but they are very happy. So we don't have

:11:58.:12:01.

any issues in our house. You are not there anyway? Yeah and

:12:01.:12:06.

I'm not there. I just check-in 15 minutes a day, I

:12:06.:12:10.

live somewhere else. I live in that city that has all the good

:12:10.:12:13.

marriages. The one we always put on TV.

:12:13.:12:16.

The city we were talking about... Birmingham.

:12:16.:12:21.

Birmingham. In your new film Everything Must Go,

:12:21.:12:25.

it is a full blown argument with the wife. She throws you out and

:12:25.:12:29.

you are living in the garden. Tell us about it.

:12:29.:12:33.

It is a drama about a gentleman who in the course of one day loses his

:12:33.:12:39.

job, his wife leaves him, locks him outside the front of his house, and

:12:39.:12:43.

changes the locks and puts all his personal possessions on the front

:12:43.:12:48.

lawn and he is at a low ebb that he decides to just live there and

:12:48.:12:50.

figure out what he is going to do next.

:12:50.:12:54.

Let's look at you coming to terms with front lawn living.

:12:54.:12:57.

You know the moment that you even thought about having a drink, you

:12:57.:13:02.

should have just called me. Well, let's see. Yesterday, what

:13:02.:13:07.

happened? I got fired from my job. And my wife left me. So somehow

:13:07.:13:15.

calling you slipped my mind. I got it. I got it.

:13:15.:13:20.

They say the dining room is the least utilised room in the house. I

:13:20.:13:24.

think it is the front lawn. It is starting to look good, don't

:13:24.:13:31.

you think? APPLAUSE

:13:31.:13:34.

Will, there are, you know, this is a serious film, as you say, but

:13:34.:13:37.

there are funny moments, but it is a tragedy. This guy's life has hit

:13:37.:13:40.

rock bottom and that's a change for you to play that role? Yeah, it was

:13:40.:13:44.

an interesting and fun challenge. It is outside of my comfort zone of

:13:44.:13:48.

what I'm usually known for doing and that's why I loved it. And it

:13:48.:13:55.

is an excellent cast, Rebecca Hall, Christopher Walker, there is a boy

:13:55.:13:58.

in the in the neighbourhood who is a lost soul himself and we find

:13:58.:14:02.

this friendship that helps both of us kind of find our path.

:14:02.:14:06.

Do you think that every comic at some point wants to be seen in a

:14:06.:14:13.

more serious role? I have no idea what you're talking about!

:14:13.:14:15.

LAUGHTER When you do it, you got to do the

:14:15.:14:16.

face. No, come on. There we are.

:14:17.:14:20.

I mean, I'm not particularly obsessed with that and yet at the

:14:20.:14:25.

same time I think anyone who is creative likes to just mix it up.

:14:25.:14:27.

Yeah, of course. To keep themselves interested and

:14:27.:14:30.

to keep the audience interested, so yeah.

:14:30.:14:36.

You are still funny. I'm still 30%. So funny that you

:14:36.:14:42.

are about to receive the Mark Twain Prize for Humour and that will be

:14:42.:14:45.

accepted in front of other comedians, in fact 300 comedians in

:14:45.:14:50.

the room. Does that make you nervous? No, it is an audience at

:14:50.:14:54.

the Kennedy centre in Washington, so there will only be the people

:14:54.:14:59.

we've invited to talk on my behalf. It is regular civilians. It is a

:14:59.:15:02.

big deal. It is a huge deal and there has

:15:02.:15:09.

only been 14 other recipients, but the list includes Steve Martin and

:15:09.:15:13.

Richard Prior and some giants in American comedy.

:15:13.:15:15.

It is good company. Brilliant.

:15:15.:15:20.

I don't know who Mark Twain is! Well, we asked the same question.

:15:20.:15:24.

He wasn't that funny. Everything Must Go is out on Friday,

:15:24.:15:34.
:15:34.:15:34.

If I have read one of the most popular pieces of music, I would be

:15:34.:15:39.

pretty happy about it. But not Percy Grainger. He hated the sound

:15:39.:15:44.

of his most famous work. A country garden. Perfect for

:15:44.:15:48.

drifting through in a picturesque fashion. But I am ashamed to say

:15:48.:15:53.

that my producer has committed the ultimate sin. Listen to that. He

:15:54.:15:58.

has put on the soundtrack of an English country garden, what a

:15:58.:16:03.

cliche. It is quintessentially English and painfully conventional.

:16:03.:16:06.

There couldn't be a more predictable tune. The curious thing

:16:07.:16:13.

is, the man who made it famous was anything but conventional. Percy

:16:13.:16:17.

Grainger was a brilliant Australian pianist, who emigrated to Britain

:16:17.:16:23.

in 1901. Gloriously eccentric, he made his own clothes out of towels

:16:23.:16:27.

and would drop between concert halls, leaping over the piano on

:16:27.:16:33.

arrival -- would drop between. His compositions were often

:16:33.:16:37.

experimental and off the -- he built a giant music machine in his

:16:37.:16:41.

living room. He is very interested in the future of modern music but

:16:41.:16:46.

also intrigued by the past. Absolute be. He came over here from

:16:46.:16:52.

Australia, launched into folksong music movement, collected over 500

:16:52.:16:55.

folksong, some by hand, some by phonograph, and use these to make

:16:56.:17:00.

arrangements for the rest of his life. And this is where the big hit

:17:01.:17:05.

came from, the Headington Quarry Morris Dancers of Oxford. A century

:17:05.:17:11.

ago, they sent -- the accordion player used to play an obscure song

:17:11.:17:20.

called Country Gardens. Bravo! Wonderful stuff. Congratulations,

:17:20.:17:27.

gentlemen, well done. That was magnificent. You are the squire of

:17:27.:17:30.

the Headington Quarry Morris Dancers. And this tune, it is

:17:30.:17:35.

thanks to this actual team of Morris dancers that we know it. How

:17:35.:17:40.

did Percy Grainger get hold of it? As far as we know, he got it from

:17:40.:17:45.

the folksong collector, and he met up with the Headington Quarry

:17:45.:17:49.

dancers in 1899. He wrote down the dunes and Percy Grainger did his

:17:49.:17:56.

famous piano arrangement from that notation of Country Gardens -- Road

:17:56.:18:02.

downer the tunes. And this is William Kimber's concertina? You

:18:02.:18:08.

knew him? I knew him, but he told us at school. Can I shake your

:18:08.:18:17.

hand? It is fantastic. Grainger's piano arrangement of Country

:18:18.:18:24.

Gardens became a massive hit, selling 450,000 copies in one year.

:18:24.:18:34.
:18:34.:18:59.

Here it is, it performed by local Do you think Percy Grainger would

:18:59.:19:04.

have approved of the setting? much so, it is typical. He said

:19:04.:19:13.

most English country gardens Was he a one-hit wonder? Well, yes.

:19:14.:19:16.

With country gardens. It was the millstone around his neck, because

:19:16.:19:22.

he wanted to know Baghdad to be known by his original country -- he

:19:22.:19:27.

wanted to be known by his original compositions. He would have people

:19:27.:19:31.

saying, give us Country Gardens! Right until the end of his life,

:19:31.:19:38.

and he hated it. Bravo. A brickie - - a Bekele is called for. A bunch

:19:39.:19:48.
:19:49.:19:51.

of turnips. Grainger would have He was always disappointed that his

:19:52.:19:56.

own music failed to set the world alight. Country Gardens haunted

:19:56.:20:00.

Percy Grainger for the rest of his life. He came to think of the tune

:20:00.:20:06.

as his personal musical albatross. He died in 1961, regarding himself

:20:06.:20:12.

as a failure. And leaving behind 500 original works. Most of which

:20:12.:20:22.
:20:22.:20:23.

Such a shame. I want to hear some Percy Grainger. We should unearth

:20:23.:20:29.

it. Are you familiar with Morris dancing? Not at all. It is

:20:29.:20:36.

surprising, I know. I know a lot of different things. Every English man

:20:36.:20:40.

every Saturday Morris dances, it is what we do. It is a British form of

:20:40.:20:44.

folk-dancing, but you have done some European folk dancing yourself.

:20:44.:20:48.

It looks slightly like square dancing make some sort of

:20:48.:20:58.
:20:58.:21:14.

Germanic... It is a bit similar to Look at that. The denial that first

:21:14.:21:23.

time? That was one take. -- bid you nail that. And I really got to slap

:21:23.:21:30.

Matthew Broderick. Did you enjoy the lederhosen? You mentioned every

:21:30.:21:33.

Saturday that the British man does this dance, every Saturday I wear

:21:33.:21:40.

you think of Will Ferrell's effort? I think they are lying! Are you

:21:46.:21:56.
:21:56.:22:02.

lying? Yes! That is all they say! Marty Jopson has been touring the

:22:02.:22:05.

country's laps to see who inspired the current generation of

:22:05.:22:15.
:22:15.:22:22.

Award-winning British scientists, Professor Anthony Hollander, leads

:22:22.:22:27.

the cutting-edge field of the tissue engineering. I absolutely

:22:27.:22:30.

believe that it can help us to transform the way we treat the

:22:30.:22:33.

whole range of diseases. Tissue engineering is a revolutionary

:22:33.:22:39.

technique, which involves creating new human tissues and sells like

:22:39.:22:43.

skin and blood vessels. We can make a difference to people's lives.

:22:43.:22:47.

That is why I wanted to do science in the first place. Anthony's

:22:47.:22:50.

passion for science started early. Aged nine, he became fascinated

:22:50.:22:54.

with the idea for fixing people and created a list of tools he needed

:22:54.:22:58.

to do the job. He sent his Mr Blue Peter, asking for, amongst other

:22:58.:23:04.

things, a model of a heart and a diagram of how the body works.

:23:04.:23:09.

got a lovely letter back from Billy Baxter, taking it very seriously,

:23:09.:23:13.

suggesting perhaps my GP might be able to help with some of the

:23:13.:23:18.

equipment. Receiving that reply was important to me, and I think if

:23:18.:23:23.

they hadn't written back, perhaps I wouldn't have pursued my fledgling

:23:23.:23:29.

scientific dreams. Fired with enthusiasm, Anthony went on to

:23:29.:23:33.

study pharmacology. At university, he discovered his science hero,

:23:33.:23:39.

this man, Dr Edward Jenner, the father of vaccination. The first

:23:39.:23:43.

time I came here, to Edward Jenner's House, was when I was a

:23:43.:23:52.

PhD student, in my early 20s. It was 1929. -- 1989. It was in this

:23:52.:23:58.

House that the sides of vaccine and him in his son was born. -- the

:23:58.:24:01.

science of a vaccine and immunisation. He had heard the

:24:01.:24:05.

story that farm staff who developed cowpox would never go on to develop

:24:05.:24:11.

smallpox. Edward Jenner said out to test this theory. He injected

:24:11.:24:15.

cowpox pass into the arm of an 8- year-old boy, James Phipps. After

:24:15.:24:22.

that, Jenna then tried to infect him with pass from a small pox

:24:22.:24:26.

patient, and the boy never developed smallpox. When published,

:24:26.:24:32.

his results were rejected as dangerous and lacking prove. I was

:24:32.:24:36.

very inspired from hearing how Jenna, after this rejection, simply

:24:36.:24:41.

persisted. He tried again and again. And he was right. Over 200 years

:24:41.:24:47.

later, smallpox has been eradicated. Today, every vaccine we used stems

:24:47.:24:53.

from the breakthrough made by Edward Jenner. Anthony holiday's

:24:53.:24:58.

own break through the moment came three years ago. A Spanish woman

:24:58.:25:02.

has become the first person in the world to be given a whole organ, a

:25:02.:25:06.

wind but grown from her own stem cells. Claudia Castillo, a mother-

:25:06.:25:10.

of-two from Spain, had a diseased windpipe which left an able to

:25:10.:25:14.

breathe. A conventional organ transplant ran a high risk of

:25:14.:25:19.

tissue rejection. Thanks to his 20 years of research, Anthony had an

:25:19.:25:26.

alternative solution. The idea we had was to take a donated windpipe,

:25:26.:25:33.

and remove the cells that naturally occur, because we didn't want this

:25:33.:25:39.

windpipe to be rejected by the patient. Claudia Castillo's

:25:39.:25:42.

themselves were used to grow a new wind pipe around the donor

:25:42.:25:45.

structure. Because the new organ was made with their new cells,

:25:45.:25:52.

there was less chance of tissue rejection. This was a medical first.

:25:52.:25:55.

Her away function returned to normal and has stayed absolutely

:25:55.:26:02.

normal ever since. Following the success of her operation, Anthony

:26:02.:26:07.

Holland it plans to use stem cells to repair knee cartilage. He

:26:07.:26:11.

credits Edward Jenner for continuing to inspire him. When I

:26:11.:26:14.

face scepticism about my work, I will often think back to Edward

:26:14.:26:19.

Jenner, and be encouraged just to carry on. Eventually, I know I will

:26:19.:26:23.

get there, and people will understand that this science can

:26:23.:26:29.

really make a difference. Edward Jenner took a random trialled, put

:26:29.:26:35.

cowpox and then smallpox... Can you imagine allowing... Would you allow

:26:35.:26:39.

your child? He walked up to a random trialled, and said, I am

:26:39.:26:48.

going to inject you... More or less. Sign me up right now. All three.

:26:48.:26:53.

All three boys, give them a go, if it is going to help humanity.

:26:53.:26:56.

back to your own childhood, who was your comedy hero when you were a

:26:56.:27:03.

boy? I had a number of comedy heroes. I laughed Dan Ackroyd and

:27:03.:27:08.

Bill Murray and the original Saturday Night Live cast members.

:27:08.:27:16.

Steve Martin is a big idol of mine. We love him on this show. Peter

:27:16.:27:21.

Sellers, I loved his work, the fact he was able to do comedy and drama.

:27:21.:27:24.

When you first got your job on Saturday Night Live, that must have

:27:24.:27:30.

been a big deal for you. Huge. Somewhat surreal. It still is, when

:27:30.:27:34.

I think I was on that show for seven years. It feels like a hazy

:27:34.:27:38.

wonderful dream. Especially having watched that show my entire life.

:27:38.:27:43.

And finally getting to be on it. A dream come true. Isn't it true that

:27:43.:27:48.

you took a briefcase full of fake money, to try to bribe the

:27:48.:27:51.

producers during your audition? thought it would be really funny

:27:51.:27:57.

joke, to stack a pile of fake money on Lorne Michaels' desk and walk

:27:57.:28:02.

out, but I got extremely shy in the interview. And I just held a brief

:28:02.:28:07.

case the whole time. Later I thought, what comedian holds a

:28:08.:28:12.

briefcase with them? I thought I had completely sunk or my chances.

:28:12.:28:18.

But you still got it. In hindsight, he thought it was really funny.

:28:18.:28:22.

Your mum must be terrifically proud of you, she is in the audience

:28:22.:28:32.
:28:32.:28:37.

tonight. My mum is here. Mum... Are you proud of me? Yes! OK, I wanted

:28:37.:28:42.

to check. Thank you so much. Everything Must Go is out on Friday

:28:42.:28:47.
