Hello and welcome to your Friday One
Show with Alex Jones. I dream | 0:00:20 | 0:00:25 | |
daydream and it came true, it is
Michael Ball. Nice to see you. | 0:00:25 | 0:00:29 | |
Joining us tonight, I guess two has
it all, wit, charm, humour. Talent, | 0:00:29 | 0:00:35 | |
money. Charisma and good looks but
you would not know it from the | 0:00:35 | 0:00:40 | |
selfies that he pose. Here he is on
his way to New York recently. Then | 0:00:40 | 0:00:46 | |
there was Berlin. Oslo. Here he is
in Copenhagen. Please welcome, Ricky | 0:00:46 | 0:00:55 | |
Gervais is. Hello.
APPLAUSE. I have been travelling | 0:00:55 | 0:01:06 | |
around the world, in the loveliest
cities and playing arenas and I | 0:01:06 | 0:01:10 | |
thought, give a little bit back, a
little souvenir. I liked to do a bad | 0:01:10 | 0:01:16 | |
picture. I thought I was too
irrelevant one and that is | 0:01:16 | 0:01:20 | |
Copenhagen. Where did you get the
outfit? I went into a fancy dress | 0:01:20 | 0:01:26 | |
shop, I made Jane go up and she
said, have you got a mermaid outfit | 0:01:26 | 0:01:31 | |
and she said it was for her. Then,
well, no. It is for an adult. He | 0:01:31 | 0:01:41 | |
gave it to her and he said, someone
is going to have a nice weekend! She | 0:01:41 | 0:01:49 | |
had to take all that and she wanted
to go, it is for him, he is hiding | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
over there. You take the phone into
the bath with you. Jane had to take | 0:01:53 | 0:02:00 | |
that. Sometimes I like to enhance my
cleavage and I needed both hands. It | 0:02:00 | 0:02:05 | |
is all me. Yeah! It is getting ever
so weird. Also tonight, it is Alex's | 0:02:05 | 0:02:16 | |
last show before she and these
heroic mothers take on Mayor. Yeah. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
-- take on The Mother Of All
Challenges. It is going to be a long | 0:02:23 | 0:02:31 | |
week. I might never come back. I
will be fine. It is Mother's Day on | 0:02:31 | 0:02:40 | |
Sunday. We want to hear from mothers
who want to tell their families what | 0:02:40 | 0:02:44 | |
they do not want for Mother's Day
this year. And then what they do | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
want. It does not have to be a gift
or anything material, what do you | 0:02:48 | 0:02:55 | |
want? Key ring. I was thinking
today, I really need a key ring. A | 0:02:55 | 0:03:02 | |
posh one? I carry my keys
separately. You get them in a | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
Christmas cracker! Let us move on.
Send a picture of you with your | 0:03:08 | 0:03:15 | |
family and what you do and do not
want to the usual addressed. Time | 0:03:15 | 0:03:19 | |
for the first film and for us to get
animated. This is unusual. They look | 0:03:19 | 0:03:27 | |
great. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:32 | |
great. Thank you, Mr Musicals, we
need to make sense of this. A new | 0:03:32 | 0:03:38 | |
Little Miss was launched for
International woman's Day and we got | 0:03:38 | 0:03:41 | |
the opportunity to meet their men
behind the Mr Men. When I was very | 0:03:41 | 0:03:49 | |
young, I asked my dad an impossible
question that children love to pose | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
to their parents, what does a tickle
look like? This is what he came up | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
with. Tickles our small and round
and they have arms that stretch and | 0:03:58 | 0:04:02 | |
stretch. My dad was Roger
Hargreaves, he created the Little | 0:04:02 | 0:04:10 | |
Miss and Mr Men series. This is the
sad story of Mr Bump. If there was | 0:04:10 | 0:04:15 | |
something for him to bump into, you
would bump into it. My dad was a | 0:04:15 | 0:04:23 | |
larger than life character,
physically, because he was six foot | 0:04:23 | 0:04:28 | |
five and his personality, he loved
practical jokes, he was Mr silly. He | 0:04:28 | 0:04:35 | |
was just fundamentally silly. In
nonsense land, everything is as | 0:04:35 | 0:04:41 | |
silly as it can be. I grew up, most
of my childhood in a village in | 0:04:41 | 0:04:47 | |
Surrey. We moved around 1982 to this
farm which is on the border of | 0:04:47 | 0:04:55 | |
Sussex and Kent. I was the
first-born and then my brother Giles | 0:04:55 | 0:05:01 | |
and twin sisters, Sophie and Amelia.
Dad worked as a copywriter, commuted | 0:05:01 | 0:05:07 | |
to London every day, he was always
looking for something to allow him | 0:05:07 | 0:05:11 | |
to work from home. This is the
original Mr Tickle book that he | 0:05:11 | 0:05:18 | |
knocked up when he was first trying
to sell the idea. In his mind, if | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
you could personify a tickle, you
could personify any human emotional | 0:05:23 | 0:05:31 | |
characteristic and turn those into
characters in their own right. Mr | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
Massey was messy by name, messy by
nature. My father created a poster | 0:05:35 | 0:05:41 | |
of Viagra the back of books, I don't
think he ever imagined how | 0:05:41 | 0:05:45 | |
successful that was going to be and
he ended up with hundreds of | 0:05:45 | 0:05:50 | |
requests coming through the post
every week and he set up a | 0:05:50 | 0:05:53 | |
production line on the dining room
table with all of us, I was writing | 0:05:53 | 0:05:57 | |
out labours, Giles was rolling out
posters and my sisters were sticking | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
labels on them. Little Miss came
about because my father realised | 0:06:03 | 0:06:09 | |
that it was a rather one-sided
project that he had created and he | 0:06:09 | 0:06:14 | |
needed to rebalance things properly.
Obviously the twins were based on my | 0:06:14 | 0:06:20 | |
sisters and the one character that
is me is Mr forgetful. I had always | 0:06:20 | 0:06:27 | |
loved drawing but I felt I wanted to
go in a different direction and | 0:06:27 | 0:06:33 | |
ended up working in farming. As a
shy child, I liked being on my own | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
and I loved being outside. I think
it bemused my father, the idea of | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
getting up at five in the morning
and milking clowns would have been | 0:06:43 | 0:06:46 | |
an anathema to him. Sadly, my father
died while we were living here in | 0:06:46 | 0:06:52 | |
1988 -- milking cows. He was only
53. He had a number of strokes, it | 0:06:52 | 0:06:58 | |
was a terrible shock. I decided to
help my mother take over the | 0:06:58 | 0:07:08 | |
business and that evolved into a
more creative role. It is funny, | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
drawing, the smell of these parents
takes me straight back to my | 0:07:13 | 0:07:17 | |
childhood because one of my abiding
memories was the smell in his office | 0:07:17 | 0:07:23 | |
of his magic markers -- the smell of
these markers. | 0:07:23 | 0:07:30 | |
these markers. Little Miss Inventor
is the latest new character. She | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
invents crazy gadgets for the other
characters. The only thing I now | 0:07:34 | 0:07:42 | |
regret is that I never got the
opportunity to tell my dad what a | 0:07:42 | 0:07:46 | |
wonderful idea he came up with,
there is something brilliantly | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
simple in terms of its concept and
the humour and fun that it throws | 0:07:52 | 0:07:56 | |
up, it moment of genius that he had,
I think. That is a nice film. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:02 | |
Beautiful. Thanks to Adam Hargreaves
for sharing his story and the Little | 0:08:02 | 0:08:07 | |
Miss Inventor is available now.
Thank you to Adam, he made our day, | 0:08:07 | 0:08:12 | |
for creating Little Miss One-der and
Mr Musicals. You look exotic. I | 0:08:12 | 0:08:20 | |
looked like I have a blood pressure
problem. Where are you a fan? I was | 0:08:20 | 0:08:26 | |
a bit too old for it but my oldest
nephew who is about eight years | 0:08:26 | 0:08:32 | |
younger than me, and he loved them.
They have the books. Mr tickle had | 0:08:32 | 0:08:42 | |
extraordinarily long arms, it is so
sweet. I thought it was so | 0:08:42 | 0:08:46 | |
simplistic, one idea. One does
always identify with one. Did you? | 0:08:46 | 0:08:55 | |
Mr Bump looked good. | 0:08:55 | 0:09:00 | |
Mr Bump looked good. There was Mr
Messy as well. I loved all Pirlo as | 0:09:00 | 0:09:04 | |
well. I have extraordinarily short
arms. Which you talk about in your | 0:09:04 | 0:09:10 | |
Humanity tour. The last time you are
here, you were about to start the | 0:09:10 | 0:09:15 | |
tour, that was last February and now
you have done it. It was one year | 0:09:15 | 0:09:19 | |
and it ended last week in Amsterdam.
One whole year. Honestly, my | 0:09:19 | 0:09:26 | |
favourite so far, I think it is my
best and it takes 15 years to get | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
good at it and I think I am good
now. It was seven years, you have | 0:09:29 | 0:09:37 | |
got something to talk about. Your
first tour is your life and only | 0:09:37 | 0:09:42 | |
have a year to do another one. The
world has changed so much. The | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
audience know me now and I can go
further and they know what I am | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
doing. It was a joy, an absolute
joy. It started off Azmi whingeing | 0:09:51 | 0:09:57 | |
about the world and by the end, it
reminded me what a brilliant place | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
it is. Did it bring out a softer
side? Judging by the performers, I | 0:10:00 | 0:10:09 | |
would say probably not. I am playing
and much more confident, harsher | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
persona. I am a nice cuddly little
chap. I talk about a very | 0:10:15 | 0:10:21 | |
contentious subjects. I think people
will get it. It is explained. It is | 0:10:21 | 0:10:31 | |
not just me trying to be crass and
annoying. I talk about taboo | 0:10:31 | 0:10:37 | |
subjects for a reason. If you talk
about them, they are not as scary. | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
You let us look at the trailer. Here
it is. Lovely welcome, just for that | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
I will try my hardest tonight. I
know what you're thinking, relax, we | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
have already had our monies were
read just seen you. You are a | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
legend. Shut up! I am just an
ordinary guy, going around talking | 0:10:55 | 0:11:00 | |
to people, sort of like Jesus. But
better. I have actually turned up. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:07 | |
APPLAUSE. I have got to say, it is
seriously funny. But very shocking. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:17 | |
Still controversial. If you say
something is controversial, then it | 0:11:17 | 0:11:24 | |
is by definition. I can say it
isn't, then you will say it is, then | 0:11:24 | 0:11:30 | |
it is. It is about a fence and
freedom of speech and this culture | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
where people do not look at the
argument, they look at who is saying | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
it. It is about prejudice and this
post-truth era and propaganda and it | 0:11:38 | 0:11:46 | |
is about stupidity, really. It is
about ignorance and all those things | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
and exposing these taboo subjects,
all these sacred cows and there | 0:11:51 | 0:11:57 | |
should not be any. I think it should
be allowed to talk about any subject | 0:11:57 | 0:12:01 | |
but it depends what are. No subject
is horrifying, it depends on the | 0:12:01 | 0:12:06 | |
joke and the target and who is the
victim. I almost challenge people to | 0:12:06 | 0:12:11 | |
be offended and they are not,
because they get what I am doing. It | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
is interesting the way that explain
a joke. You explain what it is and | 0:12:15 | 0:12:20 | |
why you should not be offended. I
use example, social media, how | 0:12:20 | 0:12:25 | |
people get the wrong end of the
stick and how things are blown out | 0:12:25 | 0:12:30 | |
of proportion. I think people
identify with it, everything that | 0:12:30 | 0:12:34 | |
happened to me would have probably
happen to them in some way. I am | 0:12:34 | 0:12:40 | |
holding the mirror up to me, I am
the butt of most jokes, I think. It | 0:12:40 | 0:12:44 | |
is about me being a privileged
idiot. It is an Netflix. Netflix | 0:12:44 | 0:12:55 | |
unbelievably has 27,000 categories,
amongst our favourites are Comedies | 0:12:55 | 0:12:57 | |
About Horses, Revenge Musicals. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:04 | |
About Horses, Revenge Musicals. What
category are going to find your | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
Humanity tour under? Finding the
funny in the worst situations on | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
Arab, I think. I do talk about the
most contentious and scary subjects | 0:13:13 | 0:13:19 | |
on the planet and thinks that people
do not talk about. It is like I am | 0:13:19 | 0:13:26 | |
guided people through a scary forest
and it all turns out OK. I'm telling | 0:13:26 | 0:13:30 | |
people to look at the joke, not the
subject. In fact, annoying | 0:13:30 | 0:13:36 | |
comedians, that is another category.
Ricky's stand-up show is an Netflix | 0:13:36 | 0:13:45 | |
from next Tuesday. We have mentioned
it is a big week for Alex. Remind us | 0:13:45 | 0:13:50 | |
what you are doing. Myself, Debbie,
Jodie, Amal and Leigh will be taking | 0:13:50 | 0:13:58 | |
on the The Mother Of All Challenges
for Sport Relief. Cycling across the | 0:13:58 | 0:14:03 | |
lake district, cycling Helvellyn
Mountain, swimming in Loch Ness and | 0:14:03 | 0:14:07 | |
finishing with a marathon in
Swansea, to raise money and | 0:14:07 | 0:14:12 | |
awareness for maternal health and
highlight what mums go through. One | 0:14:12 | 0:14:17 | |
of our mums, Jodie, visited a
project in Skipton to find out just | 0:14:17 | 0:14:21 | |
how important your donations really
are. | 0:14:21 | 0:14:28 | |
As you will be a child will grow up
happy, confident and with lots of | 0:14:28 | 0:14:32 | |
friends. For a child with a
disability this can be extra | 0:14:32 | 0:14:35 | |
challenging. I have come to meet a
boy called Oliver and his mum and | 0:14:35 | 0:14:41 | |
little sister. Oliver is 11 and Owen
is nine months. Oliver has a | 0:14:41 | 0:14:49 | |
syndrome. Oh and has the same. It
affects Oliver's ability to get | 0:14:49 | 0:14:59 | |
around. Delayed development.
Epilepsy. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:07 | |
Epilepsy. He has now got some benign
tumours. He has got fumbling on the | 0:15:07 | 0:15:13 | |
bones of his hip. If you were to
break is it it may never be | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
replaced. He would be in his
wheelchair full-time. It is getting | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
tougher because he is 11 now and I
can't lift him like I used to. How | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
together have you dealt with all of
this? Days can be very stressful. I | 0:15:26 | 0:15:32 | |
can take it out on Dave. Dave can
take it out on me. It has put a huge | 0:15:32 | 0:15:38 | |
strain on the relationship. Locally,
Stacey heard about a project funded | 0:15:38 | 0:15:46 | |
by Sport Relief donations that
supports children through clubs, | 0:15:46 | 0:15:51 | |
workshops and trips, which help them
socialise and develop life skills. | 0:15:51 | 0:15:55 | |
We try and include the whole family.
Children come along, would also | 0:15:55 | 0:16:01 | |
siblings. It gives them a sense of
belonging and hope for the future. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:05 | |
Oliver has been coming for seven
years, as have many of the children. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:09 | |
Life has its ups and downs but we
will always be there for those | 0:16:09 | 0:16:14 | |
children. How our Sport Relief
donations helping? It is at the | 0:16:14 | 0:16:20 | |
heart of our organisation,
supporting the children we work with | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
to access more clubs and helping us
to reach more children. The children | 0:16:22 | 0:16:29 | |
and the parents clearly get so much
out of it, and to hear the mums | 0:16:29 | 0:16:32 | |
talking about how much their
children love it here and how much | 0:16:32 | 0:16:36 | |
it also gives them some time for
themselves. Yeah, enjoying getting | 0:16:36 | 0:16:40 | |
involved. This project doesn't just
support children. It makes a | 0:16:40 | 0:16:45 | |
difference to the parents, too.
Riley is nine and has Asperger's | 0:16:45 | 0:16:50 | |
syndrome. He comes here weekly to
hang out with his friends while his | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
mum gets a moment to herself. We
both need a wrong time. He needs to | 0:16:54 | 0:17:00 | |
play with children his own age. It
is good phrase socialisation skills. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
It is going out with other children
that have the same sort of issues. | 0:17:04 | 0:17:11 | |
If he has a blip, or a melt down, I
know that he is in safe hands. They | 0:17:11 | 0:17:18 | |
are just amazing. Riley, what are
your favourite things about the | 0:17:18 | 0:17:24 | |
club? I like the games and when we
go out. Where do you go? Sometimes | 0:17:24 | 0:17:30 | |
we go to parks and places. Do you
play with your friends? Yeah. I | 0:17:30 | 0:17:37 | |
don't think he would have thrived as
well as we have -- he has done if we | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
hadn't got this.
Oliver loves it. I don't need to | 0:17:42 | 0:17:49 | |
worry because everybody loves
Oliver. You can see why the work of | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
this project is so important. Just a
£10 donation can help a train leader | 0:17:53 | 0:18:00 | |
Ron these after-school sessions.
Without your generosity, these | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
projects cannot go ahead. So please,
give whatever you can. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:07 | |
Thank you. | 0:18:07 | 0:18:09 | |
Thanks Jodie and thanks to Stacey,
Oliver and Erin and Sarah and Riley | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
for sharing their stories. | 0:18:12 | 0:18:17 | |
To support the Mother of All
Challenges and make a donation, you | 0:18:17 | 0:18:21 | |
can donate £5... | 0:18:21 | 0:18:31 | |
It's happening. It is. You have
heard about this Mother of All | 0:18:55 | 0:18:59 | |
Challenges. Any advice? Don't do it!
Just give the money to not do it. | 0:18:59 | 0:19:06 | |
The hiking boots are in the bags. We
need to reserves. No. Never going to | 0:19:06 | 0:19:14 | |
happen. I have done my bit. I did
baking. I did baking for Sport | 0:19:14 | 0:19:19 | |
Relief. I absolutely went for it.
Greece to your own dish. Not for the | 0:19:19 | 0:19:27 | |
first time, I might add. That is the
first one! | 0:19:27 | 0:19:37 | |
first one! Because you are taking on
the Mother of All Challenges, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
tonight we wanted to give Alex is
much motherly advice as possible. To | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
wish you luck we have a special
family joining us from Suffolk. A | 0:19:45 | 0:19:50 | |
family of five generations. Hello to
the Darton family. Hello. You are | 0:19:50 | 0:19:58 | |
both the youngest of five
generations. How will you be | 0:19:58 | 0:20:01 | |
celebrating Mother's Day? Is my
first Mother's Day this year. It | 0:20:01 | 0:20:05 | |
will be extra special. We are going
to do it all together, all of us | 0:20:05 | 0:20:12 | |
mums together. Is cooking? We are
just going to go out together. What | 0:20:12 | 0:20:20 | |
is the best piece of advice your
mother passed on to you? The best | 0:20:20 | 0:20:25 | |
piece of advice would be to always
stay true to yourself and to always | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
be happy in every circumstance. Good
advice. What is your mum's name? | 0:20:30 | 0:20:38 | |
Kirsty. Can we speak to Kirsty?
Thank you. Kirsty. There you are. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:44 | |
What is the best piece of advice
your mother gave? My mum always said | 0:20:44 | 0:20:49 | |
to me when I first had Katie, if she
was coming to see me not to worry | 0:20:49 | 0:20:56 | |
about tidying the house and cleaning
up because she was coming to see me | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
and Katie and nothing else matters.
What is a name? Merrill. High | 0:21:00 | 0:21:09 | |
Merrill. What is the best piece of
advice your mother gave you? My mum | 0:21:09 | 0:21:15 | |
told me to live life with enthusiasm
and just enjoy yourself. She is so | 0:21:15 | 0:21:20 | |
right. What is her name? My mum is
Stella and she is 89. Can we speak | 0:21:20 | 0:21:28 | |
to Stella? You may. Stella, the
mother of all mothers. How are you, | 0:21:28 | 0:21:37 | |
lovely? Fine. What advise will you
give to your | 0:21:37 | 0:21:47 | |
great-great-granddaughter? To grow
up and be as beautiful as her mum, | 0:21:47 | 0:21:53 | |
her grandmother and her
great-grandmother. And her | 0:21:53 | 0:21:57 | |
great-great-grandmother! Can we get
everybody on the sofa? A family | 0:21:57 | 0:22:02 | |
shot. Thank you, ladies.
Happy Mother's Day to you all. Happy | 0:22:02 | 0:22:09 | |
Mother's Day. | 0:22:09 | 0:22:14 | |
Mother's Day. What a smashing
family. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:22 | |
family. We talked about Humanity.
You are thinking about the next | 0:22:23 | 0:22:25 | |
tour, presumably. Yeah. The title I
thought of at first was maybe super | 0:22:25 | 0:22:35 | |
nature, because I can talk about how
I don't believe in anything | 0:22:35 | 0:22:37 | |
supernatural. And I can tell people
how super nature is. Just how | 0:22:37 | 0:22:47 | |
beautiful the world is. You are kind
of obsessed with it on Twitter, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:52 | |
aren't you? I suppose I've always
been at heart a scientist. I'm | 0:22:52 | 0:22:59 | |
fascinated by the world, people and
animals. One of the most exciting | 0:22:59 | 0:23:03 | |
things in life is to learn as much
as you can and do eat as much cheese | 0:23:03 | 0:23:06 | |
and wine. I certainly agree with one
of your things! There is another | 0:23:06 | 0:23:14 | |
project you are working on? I have
just gone into preproduction now. I | 0:23:14 | 0:23:21 | |
have written a six part story. It is
sort of a comedy but a dark comedy. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:25 | |
It is not a sitcom. I start work on
that in the summer. I can't wish to | 0:23:25 | 0:23:32 | |
do another tour. I am just hooked.
You like people again. I like people | 0:23:32 | 0:23:39 | |
again, I do. If they are paying.
There is always a caveat. Is it easy | 0:23:39 | 0:23:46 | |
to write for yourself? Yeah. The
first couple of tours I wrote like a | 0:23:46 | 0:23:53 | |
stand-up. This show I went out with
nothing. Nothing at all? Just an | 0:23:53 | 0:24:01 | |
idea. I whinged and talked. That is
the great thing. The audience choose | 0:24:01 | 0:24:05 | |
your best stuff. It is instant. You
put a sitcom out and there's nothing | 0:24:05 | 0:24:11 | |
you can do to change it. With this
every night it evolves. When it is | 0:24:11 | 0:24:16 | |
perfect it never goes away. That is
why live is best. We couldn't resist | 0:24:16 | 0:24:23 | |
hearing from comedian Mark Nelson
and his four-year-old daughter's | 0:24:23 | 0:24:26 | |
thought on Mother's Day.
Dad, have you got mum's Mother's Day | 0:24:26 | 0:24:32 | |
present yet? Me? Have you not but
her anything? | 0:24:32 | 0:24:41 | |
her anything? You but her birthday
present at the garage. It was a | 0:24:41 | 0:24:47 | |
bottle of screen wash. I get it
later on. Don't get her flowers. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:52 | |
She'll think you have done something
wrong again. I got her a card that | 0:24:52 | 0:24:56 | |
says, happy Mother's Day. That is a
rubbish card. What is in front of | 0:24:56 | 0:25:02 | |
yours? Glitter and it is beautiful.
I was thinking we should make | 0:25:02 | 0:25:10 | |
breakfast in bed as well. Don't do
that. We want to wake up with a | 0:25:10 | 0:25:18 | |
smile, not food poisoning. Calm
down, it's only Mother's Day. That | 0:25:18 | 0:25:23 | |
is such an important day. Mothers do
absolutely everything. They take | 0:25:23 | 0:25:27 | |
care of us, feed us, talk or sin.
And go a whole nine months without a | 0:25:27 | 0:25:38 | |
glass of wine. I suppose you're
right. Behold they must be about | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
mum. I should get hurt those fancy
chocolates as well. No, I don't like | 0:25:42 | 0:25:48 | |
them. Get her chocolate buttons as
well. I hope you put as much effort | 0:25:48 | 0:25:52 | |
into Father's Day. When is that?
Considering how much mums do, pretty | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
much every day is Father's Day.
She is gorgeous. Tights and after | 0:25:58 | 0:26:04 | |
eights. What you mean? Every
Mother's Day and birthday dad would | 0:26:04 | 0:26:12 | |
get is tights and after eights
forever. She was thrilled. We asked | 0:26:12 | 0:26:21 | |
you to get in touch earlier. We have
got a special grandmother, Jean | 0:26:21 | 0:26:28 | |
Harcourt, a black belt in karate and
she is running the London Marathon. | 0:26:28 | 0:26:31 | |
Take a seat. | 0:26:31 | 0:26:40 | |
Take a seat. It is a rude question
to ask but how old are you? 83 years | 0:26:40 | 0:26:46 | |
old. I'm training for the London
Marathon. I'm doing about eight | 0:26:46 | 0:26:50 | |
miles a day at the moment. Leading
up to 11, six days a week. I've got | 0:26:50 | 0:26:57 | |
a good incentive. I want to raise
awareness of Parkinson's disease, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
which is a very, very cruel disease.
I'm trying to raise as much money as | 0:27:01 | 0:27:05 | |
possible for this charity. A
brilliant effort. You did run the | 0:27:05 | 0:27:11 | |
marathon a long time ago. You
decided to do it again for the | 0:27:11 | 0:27:16 | |
charity. How are you finding it?
Well, fine. But 15 years ago when I | 0:27:16 | 0:27:23 | |
ran it, when I finished I said,
never again will I do that, when I | 0:27:23 | 0:27:27 | |
go through all that training or that
work that raising funds. But this | 0:27:27 | 0:27:32 | |
time I thought, well, I don't work
any more, I'm retired, I'll do. So | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
here I am. Trying to raise awareness
now. An inspiration. Do you think it | 0:27:35 | 0:27:44 | |
is important to get a lot of
exercise, Ricky? I do get a lot of | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
exercise. He came in his tracksuit.
You cannot imagine what I would look | 0:27:49 | 0:27:56 | |
like if I didn't exercise every day.
This is just to keep the status quo | 0:27:56 | 0:28:00 | |
and then I wear black. Sheila wants
to tell her family that all she | 0:28:00 | 0:28:05 | |
wanted everybody to be no presence.
Amanda does want breakfast in bed | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
but doesn't want to be woken up
early. That is lovely. One more | 0:28:10 | 0:28:17 | |
here. Hannah in Sheffield with
Robert and dad Bob once a lion. She | 0:28:17 | 0:28:27 | |
does not want any heart attacks. A
key ring would be lovely. Why did | 0:28:27 | 0:28:37 | |
you point to him when you said any
mugs?! Big thank you to Ricky. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:43 | |
Lovely to see you again. A pleasure.
Thank you to all the mums we have | 0:28:43 | 0:28:48 | |
met this evening. Happy Mother's Day
for the weekend. On Monday, a trio | 0:28:48 | 0:28:54 | |
of stars, Oprah Winfrey, Reese
Witherspoon and Mindi Kelling. | 0:28:54 | 0:28:59 |
