with Chris Evans And Alex Jones. Tonight's guest is what about if you

:00:23.:00:31.

go go back in time to recapture lost opportunities. We saw the film and

:00:31.:00:36.

it is amazing. We weren't really in the mood but it got us there.

:00:36.:00:40.

were a wreck when we left the cinema. Please welcome writer and

:00:40.:00:47.

director Richard Curtis. And it is also very funny. Thank

:00:47.:00:52.

you. You are par nighed about the fact we wouldn't mention it was

:00:52.:00:57.

funny. There were joke, I didn't realise I had made a film people

:00:57.:01:02.

would find sad by the end, I want people to be assured there are jokes

:01:02.:01:09.

in there. You say it is sad, that doesn't necessarily mean it is sad.

:01:09.:01:16.

Maybe. It makes you cry in an up Laith lifting way. We had to, we

:01:16.:01:20.

were suicidal by the time we left. We have England fan, Australian fans

:01:21.:01:30.
:01:31.:01:31.

here. Obviously, we have the, we have the

:01:31.:01:36.

Fourth Test going on in County Durham, although we have already won

:01:36.:01:41.

the Ashes. Issues here, conflict for Richard Curtis, listen to this.

:01:41.:01:47.

conflicted. I had an Australia passport until I was 45. My mum used

:01:47.:01:50.

to annoy my dad by supporting England and my dad supported

:01:50.:01:56.

Australia. I have been torn. I am supporting Australia this time.

:01:56.:02:01.

luck with that. They are having a harder time. I think they need every

:02:01.:02:06.

man they can get. Back to the film, before we move on to more cricket.

:02:06.:02:10.

This isn't your first brush with time travel is it, because you did

:02:10.:02:16.

write an episode of Doctor Who. did. About, going back to see

:02:16.:02:21.

Vincent van Gogh. I wrote a Blackadder time travel one. It is my

:02:21.:02:28.

third time out. So Peter Capaldi, what do you think of him as the new

:02:28.:02:34.

doctor? Exciting. He will be intelligent, and Scottish. . What

:02:34.:02:40.

type of Doctor Who do you think he will be? I hope that he will be

:02:40.:02:49.

tough, circumspect and witty. . Foul mouth is what we want, but I think

:02:49.:02:53.

we should have Doctor Who and Doctor Who late, the one that comes on at

:02:53.:02:57.

12.30. Every week disaster threatens to destroy the earth but the Time

:02:57.:03:01.

Lord says the day. Of course he does. In real life some people are

:03:01.:03:08.

more than prepared for the worst. Flash floods. Mass riot, extreme

:03:08.:03:14.

weather. We have seen pretty apocalyptic scenes so if the end of

:03:14.:03:18.

the world did come, where would you want to be?

:03:18.:03:23.

Me? Well, I would want to be here on this street, in Hertfordshire, to be

:03:23.:03:28.

with a man who claims to be ready for anything.

:03:28.:03:32.

Retired soldier Michael is one of hundreds of so-called prepper, they

:03:32.:03:37.

prepare by stocking up on essentials in case natural disasters or civil

:03:37.:03:41.

unrest lead to society falling apart.

:03:41.:03:50.

And his stash of items is in a secret store cupboard We need

:03:50.:03:54.

pro-Tyne and carbohydrate, twice a day. So here I can see we have a

:03:54.:03:59.

selection of pies, corned beef, tinned ham. It doesn't look like a

:03:59.:04:03.

lot of fun, you know, but that is not what you are trying to do.

:04:03.:04:08.

reason I have 20 tins of vegetable soup, it is the basis of a good

:04:08.:04:12.

stew. A couple of tins of soup. I will go out and shoot a rabbit or

:04:12.:04:17.

pheasant. I will process the meat, put it in there, make some

:04:17.:04:20.

dumplings, Is all of this reparation, is it for you and your

:04:20.:04:25.

immediate family? Or is it for anybody else? There may come a time

:04:25.:04:29.

when the only thing I can do is batten down the hatches and look

:04:29.:04:32.

after me and mine. But given a choice, I wouldn't look the other

:04:33.:04:37.

way. Uncertain his house would be safe

:04:37.:04:42.

enough if society fell apart Michael has a trailer stocked up with enough

:04:42.:04:46.

food for three months ready to move his family to a secret hideaway in

:04:46.:04:51.

Wales at a moment's notice. In here is food, water and somewhere to

:04:51.:04:55.

sleep. Why would you not want to be in your home? The looting and

:04:55.:04:59.

rioting. If that was my local town I would be want to be as far away as

:04:59.:05:04.

possible. At the moment there is an angry mob coming in that direction,

:05:04.:05:08.

there is a hurricane coming from there, there is fooding behind us, I

:05:08.:05:14.

am not a celebrity, you need to get me out of here. OK.

:05:14.:05:18.

Michael claims he can get the trailer and the family to safety in

:05:18.:05:27.

minutes. The challenge is on. Sure enough, in no time we are off.

:05:27.:05:31.

Pretty soon we are hidden deep in local woods.

:05:31.:05:39.

He starts by erecting a shelter. I am put on fire making duty.

:05:39.:05:47.

Me? Bear Grylls. , the only real men left on television. Now we are out

:05:47.:05:53.

here, I want to find out why he became a prepper. I think it

:05:53.:05:56.

probably started with Hurricane Katrina and seeings how the

:05:56.:05:59.

Government failed those -- seeing how the Government failed those

:05:59.:06:03.

people. 1800 people were waiting for someone to rescue them and nobody

:06:03.:06:09.

came. It is final time for us to get on the with the cooking, we are

:06:09.:06:14.

having sausage and mash and something to drink. Is it true you

:06:14.:06:20.

have something you can pee in and it comes out as water. I can purify

:06:20.:06:25.

water for me and my family. If there is a water source I can purify it.

:06:25.:06:30.

The tent sup, the food is ready, it is time to eat. Mash and onion

:06:30.:06:35.

gravy. You are doing this from a stable environment, that is where

:06:35.:06:39.

people will think it is a bit weird. Yes, I live in one of the safest

:06:39.:06:44.

places in the world, but from time to time, we have natural disasters,

:06:44.:06:49.

or, accidents, catastrophe, we have bombs going off on public

:06:50.:06:53.

transplant. We have power out, they all happen in the UK. If you expect

:06:54.:06:59.

the state to reach out and support you and save you, you are

:06:59.:07:03.

delusional. People need to be more self reliant.

:07:03.:07:08.

Michael thinks whatever happens, he and his family are going to be OK.

:07:08.:07:12.

We need each other. We need the love in our hearts and

:07:12.:07:16.

the strength in our arms. And we will be fine.

:07:16.:07:21.

I must admit that before I came here today, I thought prepping was a bit

:07:21.:07:27.

odd. But whatever you make of it, you can't help but admire Michael's

:07:27.:07:31.

determination to be reliant on no-one but himself.

:07:31.:07:37.

Love, love, love, Richard, come on, it gets on to you perfectly. It is

:07:37.:07:40.

interesting. This, the difference with this new film I have done, is

:07:40.:07:43.

the other ones have been to the moment when they first kiss or they

:07:43.:07:47.

get married, and I have suddenly realised you fall in love, you

:07:47.:07:50.

escape your family, fall in love, get married then you create another

:07:50.:07:53.

family, and then you become responsible for your parents as

:07:53.:07:58.

well, so the whole thing is a kind of cycle of love and family that

:07:58.:08:03.

takes you through your whole leave. This movie is double. It is double

:08:03.:08:08.

strength. Before we talk about it in more detail we have have never seen

:08:08.:08:13.

before montage of your greatest love moments. It has never been seen

:08:13.:08:17.

before. The new film is in this montage. So, maybe you should

:08:17.:08:22.

explain the plot a bit before we go. It is up to you. Do a bit of the

:08:22.:08:28.

premise that people at home know. The plot of the film? It is about a

:08:28.:08:33.

guy who find out on his 21st birthday that all the men in his

:08:33.:08:38.

family can travel in time. So he has, his father asks what would you

:08:38.:08:42.

like to do with it, he says get a girlfriend. The rest is him

:08:42.:08:47.

travelling back in time and finding out sometimes it is helpful and

:08:47.:08:53.

sometimes it is disastrous, have youly he only travels back in time a

:08:53.:08:58.

little. -- actually he only travels back in

:08:58.:09:08.
:09:08.:09:21.

# How long will I love you # As long as stars are above you

:09:21.:09:29.

# And longer if I can # How long will I need you?

:09:29.:09:39.
:09:39.:09:39.

# As long as the seasons need to # Follow their plan

:09:39.:09:49.
:09:49.:09:50.

# How long will I be with you? # As long as the sea is bound to

:09:50.:09:58.

# Wash upon the sand # How long will I want you?

:09:58.:10:08.
:10:08.:10:08.

# As long as you want me to # And longer by far

:10:08.:10:18.
:10:18.:10:18.

# How long will I hold you? # As long as your father told you

:10:18.:10:26.

# As long as you can # How long will I give to you?

:10:26.:10:36.
:10:36.:10:37.

# As long as I live through you # However long you say

:10:37.:10:47.
:10:47.:10:47.

# How long I I love you? # As long as stars are above you

:10:48.:10:57.
:10:58.:11:09.

# And longer if I may. # We are all travelling through time

:11:09.:11:16.

together. Every day of our lives. All we can do is do our best. To

:11:16.:11:25.

relish this remarkable ride. APPLAUSE

:11:25.:11:31.

We loved the film. Bill, I said where is this going? There is a

:11:31.:11:36.

moment that arrives out of nowhere and you see it, and it lasts for 15

:11:36.:11:40.

or 20 seconds and you must have known the whole film was about this

:11:40.:11:47.

one moment. When do you imagine that moment? Is that how you start the

:11:47.:11:52.

movie with? Is this the boy on the beach? He he goes back and his dad

:11:52.:11:58.

says is this it? That moment. enough this movie did start at the

:11:58.:12:01.

end. I thought of the conclusion, that I wanted and the second thing I

:12:01.:12:07.

thought of was this walk on the beach. Then I tried to say how do

:12:07.:12:11.

you make a movie about trying to value just every single precious day

:12:11.:12:15.

of our lives? I thought I would create a thing about time travel,

:12:15.:12:19.

and you might finely decide in the end that the thing you would do with

:12:19.:12:23.

time travel is be here, today, but not be scared and try and enjoy the

:12:23.:12:29.

texture of your life, so I started with the end of the film. So the

:12:29.:12:35.

space within the moments you have? So often we look back and say why

:12:35.:12:40.

didn't I Joan they job or that person I was with? It is because you

:12:40.:12:43.

are being doubtful and thinking of the future and what it might

:12:43.:12:49.

achieve. You should just enjoy the texture, all of us who lose their

:12:49.:12:56.

parent, why do I relish it, why was it impatient, to take time loving

:12:56.:13:01.

the things. It is a lovely lesson you take from the film. It has been

:13:01.:13:05.

written about in a lot of papers, rom-com, other movies have been, but

:13:05.:13:12.

in isn't, this is deeper, it has go got a bigger, better message. It has

:13:13.:13:19.

been written that it is going to be your directorial finale, because you

:13:19.:13:22.

have directed three move I I haves you have said that is it, in our

:13:22.:13:28.

opinion, you are just getting good, don't take it the wrong way. Please

:13:28.:13:33.

don't stop. You can't stop there. This is a great film. I should quit

:13:33.:13:37.

while I am ahead. The message of the movie is to enJo I the day, and

:13:37.:13:42.

directing a movie is 1,000 days of pain, so I thought, Bill and I were

:13:42.:13:47.

saying what shall we do the next time we spend three weeks together

:13:47.:13:51.

and we thought we should go on Holiday Inn stead of filming and

:13:51.:13:54.

worrying about whether the weather is going to hold. If you are going

:13:54.:13:59.

to bow out, this is the one to do it on. Please don't. Your relationship

:13:59.:14:03.

with Bill Nighy, to go on holiday with him for three weeks you might

:14:03.:14:09.

be one of the awkward couples who need work to go on. What would we

:14:09.:14:15.

talk about? Yeah. The old days. Instead of new things. Does he ever

:14:15.:14:20.

eat? Have I seen him eating? I haven't, but I am sure I have seen

:14:20.:14:30.
:14:30.:14:30.

him ordering. I have seen the food being cleared away so I think eating

:14:30.:14:35.

must have happened! There is one restaurant that is central to the

:14:35.:14:41.

movie, where the main characters meet for the first place. The

:14:41.:14:45.

restaurant is completely in the dark and you can eat in the dark and it

:14:45.:14:51.

actually exists. Yes, there is a restaurant in London. We went to

:14:51.:14:57.

dinner there and it was the most difficult meal. Of course, you can't

:14:57.:15:03.

see a smile. I would say something that I thought was amusing. Silence,

:15:03.:15:06.

total silence. We kept on checking we were still there. It is pitch

:15:06.:15:13.

black. In the movie you can vaguely see the glitter of a watch. The idea

:15:13.:15:16.

is the first time they meet, they can't see each other so you are

:15:16.:15:22.

meant to have fallen in love by the time you first see her. You didn't

:15:22.:15:29.

believe me it existed. I have been! Has anyone else been? You can come

:15:29.:15:34.

with me to find it! Before Cerys tells us how important music is to

:15:34.:15:41.

movies, she has been looking at the strange life of the author behind a

:15:41.:15:46.

famous novel. This small village in the Rhondda

:15:46.:15:50.

Valley is the inspiration for the most famous novel written about

:15:50.:15:55.

Wales. How Green Was My Valley was penned by first-time author it

:15:55.:16:00.

should Llewellyn. It became an instant bestseller when it was

:16:00.:16:04.

published in 1939 and has never been out of print since. It was

:16:04.:16:09.

dramatised many times, most memorably in the Oscar-winning

:16:09.:16:15.

film. Hugh Morgan is the central character and the novel follows the

:16:15.:16:18.

ups and downs of his early life growing up in a large, hard-working

:16:18.:16:23.

family in a tight-knit village that is about to be torn apart by

:16:23.:16:26.

conflicting loyalties to trade unions and families. I remember

:16:26.:16:29.

reading the book as 18 age and thinking it must have helped define

:16:29.:16:39.

Mr typical -- defines the stereotypical image of life being

:16:39.:16:49.

good despite the toils of working down the pits. This is how he

:16:49.:16:51.

described the mine for the first time.

:16:51.:16:56.

You would swear you are blind and then Terra puts sharp teeth into

:16:56.:17:01.

you. It says he was born in Saint David

:17:01.:17:11.
:17:11.:17:16.

any time underground and although his parents were Welsh, he was born

:17:16.:17:22.

in north London and spoke with a very posh English accent. I have

:17:22.:17:27.

never written any book without being in that place because of the detail.

:17:27.:17:33.

We all know, 99.9% of research is wasted, but these .1%, is

:17:33.:17:39.

invaluable. I am fascinated to know more about Richard Llewellyn, why

:17:40.:17:46.

did he say he was born here? thing to remember is that he was a

:17:46.:17:50.

storyteller, he made things up about himself. He hardly ever answered a

:17:50.:17:55.

question about himself in an honest way. He seemed to need the romance,

:17:55.:18:02.

the entry, the secretiveness of giving wrong answers about himself.

:18:02.:18:05.

Although he did not go down the mines, the author visited the

:18:05.:18:12.

village several times and this man's grandfather acted as his

:18:12.:18:20.

guide. My grandfather explained it had been very green. I think that is

:18:20.:18:24.

how the title came about. He based it on my grandfather's family and

:18:24.:18:29.

the stories my grandfather told him. How Green Was My Valley earns

:18:29.:18:36.

Llewellyn a fortune and a contract as a Hollywood script whiter. --

:18:36.:18:40.

script writer. He started rewriting his own background and disputed

:18:40.:18:44.

meeting anyone called Joseph Griffiths. Why would he deny knowing

:18:44.:18:49.

your grandfather? He was a fantasist, he was a mixed up chap.

:18:49.:18:53.

He made up his story as he went along. He used to claim he was a

:18:53.:18:57.

Welsh nationalist. I checked that out with pied camera, he was never a

:18:57.:19:05.

member. -- with Plaid Cymru. He used to say he was a Catholic but that

:19:05.:19:10.

was not true either. Llewellyn went on to write 23 other novels but none

:19:10.:19:14.

had the romantic and nostalgic appeal of his debut. It is a great

:19:15.:19:20.

story and I admire it as a novel, but don't look for historical truth.

:19:20.:19:24.

Llewellyn died in 1983 and to this day, no one really knows why he lied

:19:24.:19:27.

about his past. What is apparent is his love for this valley which

:19:27.:19:35.

shines throughout the novel. Bright shone the sun but right to

:19:35.:19:39.

shun the valley's green for each blade of grass gave back the light

:19:39.:19:44.

and made the meadows full of greens and golds and yellows and pinks and

:19:44.:19:48.

blues were poking from the hedges, where the flowers were hard at work

:19:48.:19:52.

for the bees. No matter how Welsh Richard Llewellyn was, nor how much

:19:52.:19:57.

time he spent here, How Green Was My Valley has a lyrical and timeless

:19:57.:20:00.

appeal and the characters and stories grip from beginning to end.

:20:00.:20:06.

It is a eulogy to a life long gone from these values.

:20:06.:20:11.

How precarious was that? It was terrifying, they made me do it, I

:20:11.:20:21.
:20:21.:20:26.

filmed in South Wales, either. Green Was My Valley was not filmed

:20:26.:20:31.

there at all? No, it was filmed in Santa Monica, the Second World War

:20:31.:20:36.

was on. If you look at the stills, there are no mountains. One big

:20:36.:20:44.

thing missing. Have you seen the film? When you see the pictures of

:20:44.:20:51.

the set, it doesn't look like it was values. It went on to win an Oscar,

:20:51.:20:59.

it beat Citizen Kane. That'll teach him a lesson for making a long,

:20:59.:21:08.

boring, serious movie! The sound of cinema season is starting through

:21:08.:21:12.

September and October, I am so excited about this. Some of the best

:21:12.:21:17.

music written was for film. You are talking about shaft, the James Bond

:21:17.:21:25.

films, in this clip we are going to see from a BBC Four programme, where

:21:25.:21:35.
:21:35.:21:35.

Neil Brand is talking about the shower scene in Psycho. This is his

:21:35.:21:40.

own copy of the original score for psycho, it is one of the most famous

:21:40.:21:45.

pieces of music in the history of film. You can see the notes getting

:21:45.:21:50.

deeper and deeper, as if the knife is going into deeper and deeper each

:21:50.:21:56.

time. Alfred Hitchcock was not going to use music at all, he had to be

:21:56.:22:02.

persuaded and now you cannot think of it without that sound. Favourite

:22:02.:22:12.
:22:12.:22:13.

bits of music from movies? How about third man? On these ever -- the

:22:13.:22:23.
:22:23.:22:24.

zither. I think sway from American pie. Richard, you get involved with

:22:24.:22:29.

all of the music. Is it true that when Love Is All Around was in the

:22:29.:22:36.

charts for 17, 18 years, did Wet Wet Wet request you withdraw it? They

:22:36.:22:42.

pulled it went was about to take the record, they asked for it. Did you

:22:42.:22:48.

have to say yes? I wasn't consulted, it was painful because I am a chart

:22:48.:22:54.

obsessive. Just as we were creeping towards Bryan Adams... I think the

:22:54.:22:58.

bodyguard album sold 50 million copies, the second or third biggest

:22:58.:23:02.

of all time. Do you get is reduced by bands and record companies trying

:23:02.:23:06.

to get your songs on their movies? had a strange meeting about Notting

:23:06.:23:10.

Hill. The guy who did the bodyguard Soundtrack said, if you take every

:23:10.:23:15.

song of it and that these nine songs on it, you will sell as many copies

have a look at your technique. Forward defence. Look at that!

Perfect. Cover drive. Blimey! Dave is Durham's groundsman, he lives for

part. We are very close to a river. Early morning, you can have such a

heavy mist. We take the covers off and there is a dampness in the

We are already thinking about next debris's Winter Olympics in Russia.

Alex Riley is testing out for Team GB's bobsleigh team who are training

in Bath -- next February's Winter Olympics. I am with Craig Pickering.

:27:20.:27:23.

You were at the Beijing Olympics doing the hundred metres, how come

:27:23.:27:28.

you are doing bobsleigh? I wasn't really enjoying athletics because I

:27:28.:27:33.

kept getting injured and I felt like it was time for a change. Is it an

:27:33.:27:37.

easy transition to make? There are big differences but I like to think

:27:37.:27:41.

I am reasonably quick. You should be. When do you find out if you are

:27:41.:27:45.

going to make the team? The team is picked at the end of January, I

:27:45.:27:50.

studio. Well done! Thank you for being here,

:28:47.:28:52.

Richard Curtis. Thank you for having me, I could give up directing and

:28:52.:29:00.

take up the bobsleigh as well. Richard's new film is out on the 4th
