What have you got in store for me tonight, Al?

:00:26.:00:27.

All I can tell you - we've got a really big guest.

:00:28.:00:39.

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones.

:00:40.:00:42.

And - back for the second time this week - it's Nina Wadia!

:00:43.:00:49.

APPLAUSE Thank you. I wasn't expecting that.

:00:50.:00:59.

Tonight's guest is a genuine giant of stage and screen.

:01:00.:01:01.

Please welcome the Big Friendly Giant himself - Mark Rylance!

:01:02.:01:22.

Nice to see you, take a seat. That's the best opening we've ever had to

:01:23.:01:36.

the show. You have destroyed the set!

:01:37.:01:38.

We'll be hearing all about your role

:01:39.:01:45.

in the BFG later - but Mark, Nina - this isn't

:01:46.:01:47.

We were doing the Scottish play... I do not say it, and I was playing the

:01:48.:02:01.

first witch. How did I poison you, do you remember? You poured milk

:02:02.:02:08.

into my mouth. From your mouth. It was quite a challenge. Poor Mark had

:02:09.:02:15.

to suffer it for six months! Other things are more difficult to suffer

:02:16.:02:19.

in that play. Did you promise to brush your teeth every night? I did!

:02:20.:02:25.

Turning yourself into a giant isn't nearly as hard as you might think.

:02:26.:02:28.

This is at the giant's Causeway. That's his girlfriend, wife, sister,

:02:29.:02:38.

who knows, over his shoulder. Whether you took them on holiday,

:02:39.:02:40.

or you're taking them especially for us tonight -

:02:41.:02:44.

send them to the usual address. When you see Mark in the BFG you'll

:02:45.:02:46.

see he looks exactly like the illustrations

:02:47.:02:49.

in Roald Dahl's original book. We sent our own BFG to meet

:02:50.:02:52.

the "phizz-whizzing" DRAMATIC MUSIC

:02:53.:02:57.

SCREAMING I don't know why everybody is

:02:58.:03:27.

screaming. I is the big friendly Gyles. SCREAMING

:03:28.:03:39.

My adventure started yesterday. I was wondering around this town being

:03:40.:03:49.

screamed at by people. Through somebody's window I started reading

:03:50.:03:54.

this twiddly book. A man called Roald Dahl wrote it about a little

:03:55.:03:58.

orphan called Sophie and the giant man she meets. They go on a

:03:59.:04:03.

wonderful adventure to capture all the bad giants to stop them eating

:04:04.:04:10.

human beings. He's amazing, I thought to myself. I want is to be

:04:11.:04:19.

like him. So I went off to meet with the man who drew him, Quentin Blake.

:04:20.:04:24.

I was commissioned to do 12 drawings for the book. I did them, and the

:04:25.:04:29.

whole book was set and at the printers when they rang up and said,

:04:30.:04:34.

he's not happy. The reason he wasn't happy was, there weren't enough

:04:35.:04:41.

pictures! So Quentin drew a lot more and started changing how the BFG

:04:42.:04:45.

looked. In the early pictures he's wearing boots and an apron. But they

:04:46.:04:53.

said the apron got in the way, he didn't like it. So we invented a new

:04:54.:04:59.

costume, a waistcoat, quite a big belt. It was only when we got to the

:05:00.:05:04.

feet that we didn't know what to do. I went off home and a couple of days

:05:05.:05:10.

later there was this BFG type parcel arrived, and it was one of Roald

:05:11.:05:15.

Dahl's on Norwegian sandals. I realise they were closer together,

:05:16.:05:19.

the author and character, then I realised. I met Roald Dahl a few

:05:20.:05:24.

times and found him a bit frightening. What about you question

:05:25.:05:28.

your low he was a formidable character. He knew how to be

:05:29.:05:33.

bad-tempered. But he was also a benevolent person. But I don't think

:05:34.:05:38.

he would want you to know that. When you are drawing, what's the most

:05:39.:05:42.

important part? I don't draw from life, I just try to be the person. I

:05:43.:05:48.

might be making the expression as well. It's a sort of organised form

:05:49.:06:00.

of being spontaneous and how to speak like the BFG... Gobblefunk. I

:06:01.:06:13.

had to go back to school to do it. Gyles, pick up your pencil. I can't

:06:14.:06:15.

read or write, you write it down. You need to be really careful about

:06:16.:06:30.

the nasty people like giants who eat people. You want to worry about

:06:31.:06:40.

horrorgust. Those are horrible tasting things, like snozzcumbers.

:06:41.:06:48.

You are speaking like him already. Something you don't want to do is

:06:49.:06:56.

with popping. That's what happens when drink too much frobbscottle.

:06:57.:07:08.

Wind comes out of your bottom. Have you drunk too much frobbscottle,

:07:09.:07:15.

Gyles? I had! So now where ever I go human beans know that just like the

:07:16.:07:23.

original, the best, the BFG, I am the big friendly Gyles!

:07:24.:07:30.

STUDIO: He makes a really good BFG. He does, very good.

:07:31.:07:35.

You can see Quentin Blake's unseen BFG illustrations

:07:36.:07:37.

at the House of Illustration, in King's Cross in London.

:07:38.:07:41.

Mark, we went to see your film and I took my kids with me. And for the

:07:42.:07:50.

whole film, the whole way through, they had this expression on their

:07:51.:07:56.

face... When you left the cinema and you could see the kids leaving, and

:07:57.:08:00.

they were engrossed. It was incredible. They asked me and they

:08:01.:08:06.

said, the giant is a real actor. But how can he be that big? I don't

:08:07.:08:14.

understand. I work in telly, and I was still thinking, how did you film

:08:15.:08:19.

it? It worked very well for Gyles in that film. They could have made it

:08:20.:08:24.

cheaper! What is the process? Is it very complicated? It's a Biddle,

:08:25.:08:30.

located but I will try to explain. You basically make a

:08:31.:08:33.

three-dimensional space inside a computer. -- it is a little

:08:34.:08:39.

complicated. You then make the same three-dimensional space inside a

:08:40.:08:43.

studio. Whatever happens in one happens in the other. So if I wear

:08:44.:08:48.

this funny Velcro suit, walking around and waving my arms in the

:08:49.:08:52.

film set, the computer records it from also hides. Next-day Steven

:08:53.:08:57.

Spielberg will take the Game Boy type console and put the camera

:08:58.:09:01.

where ever he wants and films from where ever. It's like being in a

:09:02.:09:06.

play rather than being in a film. It's quite strange because you don't

:09:07.:09:11.

see it until it's on the screen. I never do. But this is the most

:09:12.:09:14.

expensive make-up job I've ever done. That's a relief to me. I don't

:09:15.:09:19.

particularly like seeing myself in films. We all grew up with the BFG,

:09:20.:09:25.

a hugely popular book. How faithful is the film to the original story? I

:09:26.:09:31.

think it's as faithful as a film can be. They are different things. There

:09:32.:09:36.

is a whole bit in the book where he enjoyed the stuff about people going

:09:37.:09:41.

to Panama because they like to eat children who taste a hat 's. They

:09:42.:09:46.

get an Eskimo on a hot day and things like that. That's a literary

:09:47.:09:50.

enjoyable thing but doesn't have enough action or movement for a

:09:51.:09:54.

film. So some things are removed but nothing has really added. Steven has

:09:55.:10:01.

focused on the relationship between the giant and the little girl. She

:10:02.:10:08.

seems like a special actress. Ruby, yeah, she's fantastic, from

:10:09.:10:12.

Manchester. There is a lovely warmth between you that springs off the

:10:13.:10:17.

screen. We were good friends. Of all the directors in the world, Steven

:10:18.:10:23.

Spielberg is the one who can direct children. It was fun to be watching

:10:24.:10:27.

them all the time developing their relationship, and how he directed

:10:28.:10:32.

her. I think it's only fair that we let everybody at home have a little

:10:33.:10:36.

look at the film. This is the moment the BFG explains to Sophie why he

:10:37.:10:42.

had to take her with him. I had to take you. The first thing you would

:10:43.:10:49.

be doing is scuttling around, yodelling the news you are seeing a

:10:50.:10:52.

giant. And there and there would be a great rumple dumpus, and all the

:10:53.:11:02.

human beans would be looking around, and locking me up in a cage to be

:11:03.:11:12.

looked at with all the Zeppo dumplings and then there would be a

:11:13.:11:21.

giant hunt for all the boys. It's really strange, but people say they

:11:22.:11:24.

can't quite understand the language of the BFG. I had no problem at all.

:11:25.:11:29.

I get every single word of it! You must have found it difficult to

:11:30.:11:34.

learn words like that. It's easier than Shakespeare! When you were

:11:35.:11:42.

younger, I have read interviews before, and you mentioned you had a

:11:43.:11:46.

problem with language and speech at a young age. Did you find there was

:11:47.:11:51.

some kind of similarity between this giant character? I still have a

:11:52.:11:56.

problem with language, really. I think when I was five or six, the

:11:57.:12:01.

way I got out of it was pretending to be other people. Lots of

:12:02.:12:07.

characters I saw on television, shows like Star Trek and the wild

:12:08.:12:15.

wild West. This is dating me! But they gave you characters you could

:12:16.:12:24.

play like Spock or Captain Kirk. Me and my friends would act for hours,

:12:25.:12:28.

making up Star Trek episodes. That helped meters big. But people

:12:29.:12:32.

couldn't understand what I was saying. I don't think I knew how to

:12:33.:12:43.

use my consonants. This is the second Spielberg film. It was funny.

:12:44.:12:49.

I remember meeting a kid later when I was maybe 12, and he had been in

:12:50.:12:53.

nursery school with me, and he said to me, I remember you come you

:12:54.:12:56.

didn't say anything for the whole year! I was so tired of people

:12:57.:13:02.

saying, pardon, pardon, and getting angry with me. But I had a long

:13:03.:13:08.

period of quiet. I have made up for it since! It's nice that the

:13:09.:13:14.

character chimed with you. Don't you find that, you know the right word

:13:15.:13:19.

but don't get it quite right? Every day, every single show. We made up a

:13:20.:13:30.

word in Goodness Gracious Me called chuddies, and it ended up in the

:13:31.:13:35.

dictionary, it means knickers. It sounds like knickers though, maybe

:13:36.:13:37.

than knickers. Chudley 's. This is the second Spielberg film

:13:38.:13:48.

you have done after Bridge of Spies. You turned him down for a while.

:13:49.:13:53.

Especially in the 80s. He was wearing chuddies in those days. He

:13:54.:14:01.

wears Y fronts now. Why did you turn him down originally? I don't know.

:14:02.:14:05.

It was a hard decision but I was offered a job in a theatre by Mike

:14:06.:14:11.

Arfield. I knew it would be enjoyable to work with him. I took

:14:12.:14:18.

that job instead. After consulting the dice. The Chinese do it with

:14:19.:14:27.

sticks, but you can also do it with coins. You make six readings which

:14:28.:14:34.

make a hexagram of a broken line or solid line, 64 variations, and they

:14:35.:14:38.

give you a reading of what might come in the future. This one for the

:14:39.:14:43.

theatre said it was to do with me moving into a community. I met my

:14:44.:14:48.

wife Clare on the first day of rehearsals. It was meant to be. It

:14:49.:14:54.

was, but I thought it was goodbye to Steven and films. But look at you

:14:55.:14:58.

now! And apparently you are doing another two. I am, I know. Be sure

:14:59.:15:07.

to mention my name, please. He's gone from somebody you don't want to

:15:08.:15:14.

work with to your BFF. Of all the films I've ever worked on, he has

:15:15.:15:18.

the most wonderful community onset. He doesn't have the word director on

:15:19.:15:24.

his chair, he has father or daddy, his kids gave him that. He has that

:15:25.:15:32.

character, very much. I tried to take a picture of Steven Spielberg

:15:33.:15:35.

wants and fell over a hedge on to his table. But that's a different

:15:36.:15:39.

story. The BFG is in cinemas right now.

:15:40.:15:42.

As we've got a giant guest, we needed a giant game

:15:43.:15:45.

later, it is Giants versus Sophies and the winning team wins the right

:15:46.:15:53.

Mark, are you up for joining Team Giant?

:15:54.:15:58.

Before that, time to see the world through someone else's window

:15:59.:16:03.

in the first of a new series of films A Room With A View.

:16:04.:16:07.

To kick it off, a man who sees more than a shed when he looks out

:16:08.:16:11.

My name is William and this is my view. How you interpret the view is

:16:12.:16:25.

more important than the view itself. I see a flagpole and a big garage.

:16:26.:16:37.

It encloses you. What I seek out there is a forest and I can see

:16:38.:16:42.

wildlife in the countryside, even though I am not. I am an engineer.

:16:43.:16:52.

After you have done a long day your mind is working and you lock the

:16:53.:17:00.

door. You want to clear the nonsense going on in your head. You want to

:17:01.:17:08.

feel human. The flags are Buddhist flags, not because I am a Buddhist,

:17:09.:17:12.

but I believe in many of their fundamentals. You have to experience

:17:13.:17:21.

life. I hand-painted my car bright orange and to me colour is more

:17:22.:17:28.

vibrant than anything else. I have had the flags for seven years. They

:17:29.:17:36.

were less visible before. My brother-in-law died and he was a

:17:37.:17:42.

Buddhist monk and I felt that was a message, so I then put them up

:17:43.:17:47.

relatively high. In that nervous wait, you worry about what people

:17:48.:17:52.

will think about what you believe. The flags are flying to show how

:17:53.:18:03.

much I care about the whole world. I am not just in this house, I am

:18:04.:18:09.

wherever I want to be. It is known in the area as the flag has. It

:18:10.:18:16.

makes people smile. When you are happy with your home, you are

:18:17.:18:21.

relaxed. Allow yourself to be different. That is what my view

:18:22.:18:28.

tells everybody else and teaches everybody else. There is no shame in

:18:29.:18:32.

being open and honest about what you are.

:18:33.:18:36.

Somewhere you always find yourself excited to get back to?

:18:37.:18:41.

If you've got your own Room With A View, we want to

:18:42.:18:44.

Get in touch via the usual e-mail address.

:18:45.:18:48.

In the studio we have got some of the dream jars. How did your dream

:18:49.:18:56.

end up in a jar and what is it all about? It is an actual dream I had.

:18:57.:19:03.

I am sitting outside a glasshouse and inside the glass house there is

:19:04.:19:08.

a merry-go-round with a carousel. Where can people see these? I think

:19:09.:19:14.

that is a Westminster Square. They are dotted around the country? I

:19:15.:19:19.

think so. Stephen has done one and Ruby has done one. They will get

:19:20.:19:25.

auctioned off. Sophie Dahl did a beautiful one with a cottage by the

:19:26.:19:29.

seaside and a mermaid. And they get auctioned off? How much for yours? I

:19:30.:19:39.

have no idea. Can I ask, Roald Dahl -based the big friendly giant on his

:19:40.:19:47.

builder. Wally. I met his daughter. You tend to base some of your

:19:48.:19:50.

characters on real-life people as well. When you work in Wolf Hall,

:19:51.:19:58.

who is it that you -based Oliver Cromwell on? Usually characters are

:19:59.:20:05.

based on a number of different people, particularly like Oliver

:20:06.:20:09.

Cromwell who changes a lot. There is a poet in Brixton, Jim, who came

:20:10.:20:14.

down to London when he was 14, arriving at King's Cross and not

:20:15.:20:17.

wanting to go into an orphanage he lived on the streets for two years

:20:18.:20:22.

in Soho I think. He is a wonderful guy, a black poet. He reminded me of

:20:23.:20:28.

Cromwell who ran away when he was 14 and lived in Europe and number of

:20:29.:20:33.

years as a renegade child. So there was something that the two shared.

:20:34.:20:45.

Will poll is a brilliant series. We are going to have a look at giant

:20:46.:20:51.

pictures people at home have taken. -- Wolf Hall.

:20:52.:21:02.

This is one of my favourites, from 01 and June in the world. This is

:21:03.:21:14.

from Pete in Edinburgh. This has been sent in by Chris, his son

:21:15.:21:17.

Robert with his daughter I laugh. When I was in the midst

:21:18.:21:24.

of my Hell On High Seas challenge there is one moment

:21:25.:21:26.

I will never forget. When Olympic gold medallist

:21:27.:21:29.

Sir Ben Ainslie sailed past This weekend Ben's team will be

:21:30.:21:31.

competing in the Portsmouth leg of the America's Cup,

:21:32.:21:37.

so Marty has been to see just The America's Cup is sailing's

:21:38.:21:50.

ultimate challenge for man and machine. Known as fighter jets on

:21:51.:21:58.

water, yachts in this elite competition fly above the sea,

:21:59.:22:02.

travelling more than twice as fast down the wing. 20 years ago, boats

:22:03.:22:08.

travel at around eight knots, ten miles an hour. These days they need

:22:09.:22:11.

to be going something more like 50 miles an hour. Sir Ben Ainslie is a

:22:12.:22:19.

four-time Olympic medal winner who is taking on the challenge of

:22:20.:22:22.

bringing the cup to the UK for the first time ever. I was fortunate

:22:23.:22:28.

enough to be with the American team which won the last cup in 2013. It

:22:29.:22:34.

was fantastic to be a part of, but lifting the America's Cup, thinking

:22:35.:22:39.

why is this not a British team? It is a design race and a sailing race.

:22:40.:22:46.

We aim for our race boats to be the fastest ever. To give themselves the

:22:47.:22:52.

best chance, the team is fine tuning the engineering. How do you go about

:22:53.:22:56.

designing the well's fastest yacht? One of the keys is to do with how

:22:57.:23:01.

they are powered along. Many people think that yachts or sailboats are

:23:02.:23:06.

moved forward when the wind catches in their sales and pushes them

:23:07.:23:10.

forwards. But that is the slowest way you can sail. To go faster you

:23:11.:23:15.

need to use the same principles that keep aeroplanes in the air.

:23:16.:23:20.

Aeroplane wings are kept up thanks to what happens when air flows over

:23:21.:23:26.

their surface. I will show you. If I take a piece of paper like this and

:23:27.:23:34.

I blow across the curved surface. It is sucked upwards. The air I blow

:23:35.:23:40.

creates an area of low pressure above the paper than below it and as

:23:41.:23:46.

the two sides try to equalise, the paper is sucked upwards. It is

:23:47.:23:51.

called lift. How do you apply that to the water? You turn your wings

:23:52.:23:57.

sideways to create a sale, only this time the pressure difference sucks

:23:58.:24:01.

the yacht forward. Simon Schofield is the team's design manager. I take

:24:02.:24:10.

it this is the sale? It is similar to an aeroplane wing in that you can

:24:11.:24:15.

control the flat at the back which controls the amount of lift that you

:24:16.:24:20.

have. They can set the wing up to be optimal shape for any condition, up

:24:21.:24:24.

wind or downwind, and it gives the sailors a lot more control. But lift

:24:25.:24:32.

has one more trick to play when it comes to super-speed yachts. It is

:24:33.:24:36.

not only used above the water, but below it as well. The real secret to

:24:37.:24:44.

making the boat fly IDs, the dagger boards. This is another wing?

:24:45.:24:52.

Exactly. It is underwater. It produces enough lift to lift the

:24:53.:24:57.

boat out of water, enough to lift four Times, the equivalent of a

:24:58.:25:02.

London taxi. By lifting the yacht out of the water, the contact with

:25:03.:25:07.

the water is reduced, meaning less resistance. Making the use of lift

:25:08.:25:11.

both above and below the water means the team can add fractions of knots

:25:12.:25:16.

to their speed and give them the vital edge to win next year's cup. I

:25:17.:25:26.

am off on a test run. It's amazing! As we sail several feet above the

:25:27.:25:30.

water at a top speed of nearly 50 miles an hour, it feels more like

:25:31.:25:37.

being on a motorbike. We have lifted right out of the water. It is flying

:25:38.:25:41.

along, quite literally. In the hands of the crack sailors is yacht can
