Hello and welcome to The One Show
with Patrick Kielty. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:19 | |
Welcome back. | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
Lovely to be back. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:26 | |
And Alex Jones. | 0:00:26 | 0:00:29 | |
It's a Friday. That never happens!
You know what they say, the bigger | 0:00:29 | 0:00:36 | |
the guest, the shorter the intro. | 0:00:36 | 0:00:38 | |
All you need to know is,
he is a 'good man'. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:42 | |
And it is Len Goodman. | 0:00:42 | 0:00:44 | |
APPLAUSE
Welcome back. | 0:00:44 | 0:00:48 | |
You have been commuting back and
forth, you got back last night. I | 0:00:48 | 0:00:53 | |
got back from Los Angeles last
night. You look $1 million for a man | 0:00:53 | 0:00:58 | |
who just jumped off a plane, you
look like a Hollywood movie star. | 0:00:58 | 0:01:02 | |
I've been on a diet, I've lost a bit
of weight. We were not going to | 0:01:02 | 0:01:06 | |
mention it but you look like you
have lost weight. Just chicken and | 0:01:06 | 0:01:11 | |
fish, no bacon sandwiches, nothing
joyful. You've gone for the full LA | 0:01:11 | 0:01:17 | |
lifestyle. Yeah, I have gone for it,
I am sun-kissed. We are missing you | 0:01:17 | 0:01:23 | |
on Strictly, Shirley is fantastic
but are you missing the show? Of | 0:01:23 | 0:01:29 | |
course I miss it because it's such a
wonderful show. It was such an | 0:01:29 | 0:01:34 | |
honour just to be part of that show.
I'm sure. I had done it for 12 years | 0:01:34 | 0:01:40 | |
and I was worried I was going to get
the very and start dribbling and | 0:01:40 | 0:01:47 | |
they would say get him off. --
dithery. I haven't seen the show | 0:01:47 | 0:01:54 | |
because I've been in America but my
wife tells me Shirley is doing | 0:01:54 | 0:01:58 | |
great, it is all lovely Jebaliya, as
interesting as always, good ones not | 0:01:58 | 0:02:03 | |
so good, this, that and the other.
You are going to be doing a bit of | 0:02:03 | 0:02:08 | |
dribbling yourself with a bottle of
wine tomorrow night? I will be | 0:02:08 | 0:02:12 | |
watching the show and I will say to
sue, why didn't I do it? I could | 0:02:12 | 0:02:16 | |
have done it once more. Listen to
Craig, could have told him. You put | 0:02:16 | 0:02:21 | |
your feet up. Lent is here to talk
about his best of British | 0:02:21 | 0:02:26 | |
compilation featuring only legendary
British musical acts. We would like | 0:02:26 | 0:02:32 | |
your pictures of you and your
favourite British musical legends. | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Tom Jones, Frankie Vaughan, Dusty
Springfield, Olly Murs. A picture | 0:02:36 | 0:02:42 | |
with Olly Murs would be lovely. I
bumped into him on the plane coming | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
over. Because I bumped into you
once. You never know who you sleep | 0:02:46 | 0:02:52 | |
with on the plane! That would have
been a very cosy night. Very | 0:02:52 | 0:02:56 | |
disappointed with Olly Murs because
he's from Essex and I asked him if | 0:02:56 | 0:02:59 | |
he is a West Ham supporter, Manu,
and I said, you can't be but anyway. | 0:02:59 | 0:03:05 | |
Nice, and a lovely young lad.
Whether it is Olly Murs or summary | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
from further back send your pictures
in with legends and we will show as | 0:03:09 | 0:03:13 | |
many as we can. | 0:03:13 | 0:03:15 | |
Tonight's musical guest isn't on the
album but no songs past 1995 are, so | 0:03:15 | 0:03:18 | |
Len, worry not, you haven't offended
him. | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
We are fine with that, Len. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
No, his first album with band
"Keane" was in 2004. Phew. | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
He is of course the -
brilliant Tom Chaplin who will be | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
singing us his smash hit, Under a
Million Lights later. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:33 | |
I like the sound of that. | 0:03:33 | 0:03:34 | |
Yesterday we saw how retailers
were preparing for Black Friday. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
So, today we've put the focus
on you, the shopper. | 0:03:36 | 0:03:44 | |
In the sales you put yourself in the
position of telling yourself little | 0:03:44 | 0:03:47 | |
fibs, this is an investment. Shop
well for less. That's what it is. | 0:03:47 | 0:03:54 | |
Carrie went to Birmingham
to shop some big spenders. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:58 | |
Just browsing, not buying. I
absolutely need this. I deserve | 0:03:58 | 0:04:05 | |
this. With the budget being
delivered the same week as the Black | 0:04:05 | 0:04:08 | |
Friday sales, all eyes are on the
sales but what lies do we tell each | 0:04:08 | 0:04:17 | |
other when handing the cash over?
When you've got this beautiful | 0:04:17 | 0:04:21 | |
leather jacket in there what did you
tell yourself? What did you tell | 0:04:21 | 0:04:25 | |
yourself? I said, it is a reputable
company, it is great leather and it | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
will last me for ever so I'm going
to get my way out of it. It's an | 0:04:29 | 0:04:34 | |
investment. It is! I notice you have
rather a lot of bags. | 0:04:34 | 0:04:38 | |
LAUGHTER
Were you intending to get six of | 0:04:38 | 0:04:43 | |
that one product? Of these ones? I
was intending to get ten. What goes | 0:04:43 | 0:04:48 | |
through your head at the point you
see something was Max sod it, life's | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
to short anyway! You know when you
are shopping, do you tell yourself | 0:04:52 | 0:04:58 | |
lies about how much you are spending
and end up spending more? I use the | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
card and it's not like you are doing
it. Especially if it is contactless, | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
contact happy. Pretty much the
budget ends when the card gets | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
declined. This one is your friend's?
Yes. Who is that one for? That's for | 0:05:09 | 0:05:19 | |
myself. Do you tell yourself a
little fibs that you will not spend | 0:05:19 | 0:05:22 | |
that much and then you do? Yes, in
the sales, going through the perfume | 0:05:22 | 0:05:28 | |
is. This is old perfume. We have
three banks. I need to come shopping | 0:05:28 | 0:05:32 | |
with you! -- this is all perfume.
Hold on a minute, did you intend to | 0:05:32 | 0:05:39 | |
get what was in that bag? No. What
are the main lies they tell yourself | 0:05:39 | 0:05:47 | |
when shopping? I will get this and I
will not get that, I will stop at | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
that, you turn around and say it is
only money. You're committed to | 0:05:50 | 0:05:55 | |
saying you haven't overspent. Do you
think you will overspend eventually? | 0:05:55 | 0:06:00 | |
If I stay here another hour, yes.
She is a woman after my own heart. I | 0:06:00 | 0:06:05 | |
love that lady. Thank you, carry as
well. Len's Legends, The Best of | 0:06:05 | 0:06:14 | |
British. The new CD, yes! You are
singing all of the songs yourself? | 0:06:14 | 0:06:19 | |
No, I'm not! They asked me if I
would like to do with CD with me | 0:06:19 | 0:06:24 | |
singing, give over! You wouldn't
want it. Why would I want to sing | 0:06:24 | 0:06:28 | |
when I can listen to Matt Monroe and
Shirley Bassey. All of the legends. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
The British legends. When they asked
me to do it I said I would do it but | 0:06:32 | 0:06:37 | |
I want to do British. I know that
Sinatra is great and Presley but we | 0:06:37 | 0:06:43 | |
have had some wonderful, wonderful
singers. I think it's great to come | 0:06:43 | 0:06:49 | |
out and listen to some of those
wonderful British singers. Len has | 0:06:49 | 0:06:53 | |
come out officially on the show
tonight. There he is! It is a | 0:06:53 | 0:07:00 | |
belter, Len, there are three CDs
which makes it a bargain, you could | 0:07:00 | 0:07:03 | |
do a massive car journey with this.
Let's take you on a musical journey | 0:07:03 | 0:07:08 | |
starting with the one that we pick
out, Dusty Springfield. Go on then. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:14 | |
Where does this take you back to? I
used to go out with a girl and I | 0:07:14 | 0:07:19 | |
promise you she had that same sort
of haircut, you know the beehive | 0:07:19 | 0:07:23 | |
hair cut. Dusty, wasn't she
wonderful? Yeah, so obviously Dusty | 0:07:23 | 0:07:34 | |
Springfield Peer had to go on. Some
legends you listened to in your | 0:07:34 | 0:07:39 | |
younger days and some legends you
ended up working with. I had to put | 0:07:39 | 0:07:44 | |
him on. Brucie. This seedy plots my
life so there is stuff my mum and | 0:07:44 | 0:07:53 | |
dad used to play when I was a kid
and then there is all of the groups | 0:07:53 | 0:07:57 | |
from the 60s when I was a teenager.
And gradually I got down to Strictly | 0:07:57 | 0:08:02 | |
and I thought I've got to put
something on that represents that, | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
and I thought who better than dear
old Brucie? The legend, he is on | 0:08:05 | 0:08:11 | |
there. And then you went for a bit
of this as well, a bit of Cliff. I | 0:08:11 | 0:08:15 | |
love Cliff, I met him. Did you? Yes,
he was singing on Strictly command | 0:08:15 | 0:08:23 | |
my mother-in-law loves him and I got
a CD and I thought what a lovely | 0:08:23 | 0:08:26 | |
thing if I could get him to sign it
and I thought he wouldn't do it so I | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
went to his dressing room and tapped
on his daughter and somebody opened | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
it and said, can I help you? And I
said, I wondered if Cliff would sign | 0:08:33 | 0:08:38 | |
this from my... And a voice came, is
that you, Len? And I said, yes, and | 0:08:38 | 0:08:44 | |
he was in the mirror to debating a
bit. Easy now! Lovely, isn't that | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
nice. You were saying that you don't
sing but it turns out the Goodman | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
family as a whole don't really sing.
Not really. My grandad. Well... | 0:08:57 | 0:09:05 | |
There is a tune on Chas and Dave
about the piano and that reminds me | 0:09:05 | 0:09:10 | |
of my grandad because Saturday
nights they would be round the old | 0:09:10 | 0:09:12 | |
Joanna, my Ben Maher used to play
and two of my uncles used to play | 0:09:12 | 0:09:17 | |
and my grandad would get a bit drunk
-- my grandmother. He would lift the | 0:09:17 | 0:09:23 | |
lid and pour the rest of his beer
into the piano. That will warm it | 0:09:23 | 0:09:28 | |
up! Then he would start and everyone
went like that because he was | 0:09:28 | 0:09:32 | |
terrible and if he hit a bad note he
would say, that was you, and then he | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
would start a fight. Was he Irish?
LAUGHTER | 0:09:36 | 0:09:42 | |
All of the kids used to go in the
kitchen and it was very scary. Len's | 0:09:42 | 0:09:46 | |
Legends, the album, is out today. It
certainly is. We know you have been | 0:09:46 | 0:09:51 | |
known for a particular type of food
over the years, the hallowed pickled | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
walnut. Oh! Honestly. I'm surprised
the pickled walnut company hasn't | 0:09:54 | 0:10:02 | |
got me on an advert. I tell you
what, hold that, do a little advert | 0:10:02 | 0:10:07 | |
down there. Here is the deal. If you
haven't had then you wouldn't want | 0:10:07 | 0:10:13 | |
them. Don't say that because I was
just about to say we will taste a | 0:10:13 | 0:10:16 | |
pickled walnut later if you promise
to taste something else for us at | 0:10:16 | 0:10:20 | |
the end of the next film. How does
that sound? Promes? Bacon sandwich? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:26 | |
It's not a bacon sandwich but you
will like it. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Here's Andi Oliver investigating
a whole new taste in takeaways | 0:10:30 | 0:10:35 | |
Whether it's Chinese or Italian,
curry or kebabs, the UK's high | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
takeaways have been founded on the
migration of the 1950s and 60s. But | 0:10:39 | 0:10:45 | |
what about Britain's new
communities? From countries as | 0:10:45 | 0:10:49 | |
diverse as Poland, Nigeria and
Bangladesh. Will these new food | 0:10:49 | 0:10:54 | |
flavours one day be the taste of a
Friday night take out? Hello. Toby | 0:10:54 | 0:11:00 | |
Raphael certainly hopes so. I'm
excited. What does that mean? I'm | 0:11:00 | 0:11:06 | |
going to eat until my belly is full.
Toby's takeaway in Camberwell South | 0:11:06 | 0:11:11 | |
London serves the traditional taste
of Nigeria like the tomato -based | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
dish with rice, chopped and fried
plantain and spicy meat kebabs. Even | 0:11:16 | 0:11:22 | |
though there is nearly 200,000
Nigerian born residents in the UK, | 0:11:22 | 0:11:26 | |
Toby reckons he can bring it to a
much broader market. But his secret | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
weapon is the Nigerian burrito. Why
burrito? It's not the first thing | 0:11:30 | 0:11:37 | |
you think about when you think that
Nigeria and Nigerian food? The main | 0:11:37 | 0:11:41 | |
problem I found was trying to get
people to try our sort I thought if | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
we put one of the main components of
Nigerian food into a wrap it should | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
work. That Nigerian component is of
traditional dish made with Turkey | 0:11:49 | 0:11:56 | |
gizzards. As part of the bird's
digestive tract and I'm just not | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
sure UK punters will go for that.
Turkey gizzards, not the most | 0:12:00 | 0:12:06 | |
appealing dish. We love to give
people tastes and nine out of ten | 0:12:06 | 0:12:12 | |
times people try it they think it is
nice. Toby puts that down to the | 0:12:12 | 0:12:15 | |
cooking skills of his mum, Victoria.
What you do with the gizzard? Boil | 0:12:15 | 0:12:19 | |
it? Boil it and put the different
spices in. What is in the source? It | 0:12:19 | 0:12:26 | |
is a special blend I can't tell you.
Special blend, so it is a secret? | 0:12:26 | 0:12:32 | |
That's it. How do you feel about
Toby opening it up for the UK | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
palette? A lot of African
restaurants serve only African | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
people everywhere you see Chinese
food being eaten by different | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
nationalities and Indian food, so
why not Nigerian food? Absolutely. | 0:12:46 | 0:12:50 | |
Let's see how it goes down. Really
nice heat and balances with the | 0:12:50 | 0:12:59 | |
suite of the plantain and red
pepper. Victoria! Come on, what is | 0:12:59 | 0:13:05 | |
the average fast-food punter going
to think of gizzards in a wrap? What | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
would you say if I tell you this has
Turkey gizzards and it? What? I feel | 0:13:08 | 0:13:16 | |
like we eat so much stuff from
animals anyway it doesn't really | 0:13:16 | 0:13:20 | |
bother me personally. Would you ever
see yourself going out for a Friday | 0:13:20 | 0:13:24 | |
night Nigerian Ben? Yeah, maybe. You
like it? Yeah. Has Toby got what it | 0:13:24 | 0:13:31 | |
takes to make it big in the crowded
UK takeaway market? The One Show | 0:13:31 | 0:13:35 | |
brought into the 2017 takeaway expo
where the latest taste trends are on | 0:13:35 | 0:13:42 | |
show, from Sri Lankan. Shellac and
food is totally different to the | 0:13:42 | 0:13:45 | |
traditional curries you have,
totally new fave Donetsk flavours -- | 0:13:45 | 0:13:49 | |
Sri Lankan food. It goes really well
with a beer. What does a panel of | 0:13:49 | 0:13:55 | |
leading experts think of Toby's
plans to spice up UK takeaway is? We | 0:13:55 | 0:14:02 | |
see people offering Syrian,
Vietnamese, they are all coming on | 0:14:02 | 0:14:05 | |
the radar, Thai, sushi, people want
all types of different food during | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
the week. The interesting thing
about Nigerian cuisines is I love | 0:14:09 | 0:14:12 | |
the idea of evolving that cuisine to
make it really accessible. Everyone | 0:14:12 | 0:14:19 | |
loves a burrito so if it is tasty in
a burrito he's onto a winner. The | 0:14:19 | 0:14:27 | |
proof is in the eating. Personally I
would want a little more firepower | 0:14:27 | 0:14:31 | |
in there. It has a nice kick on the
back of your throat and it's not too | 0:14:31 | 0:14:35 | |
hot. For me it's just a little too
spicy. The Scotch bonnet is a | 0:14:35 | 0:14:40 | |
pepper. Seriously? What doesn't
speak doesn't live. That's why the | 0:14:40 | 0:14:47 | |
water is finished! It's a mixed
reaction from our experts. But, does | 0:14:47 | 0:14:53 | |
Toby still think Nigerian fast-food
cant stand alongside the UK's | 0:14:53 | 0:14:56 | |
favourites? Yeah, I really do and I
hope and believe there will be one | 0:14:56 | 0:15:04 | |
in every town in the UK. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:05 | |
Thanks, Andi. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
Len just said nothing beats hand,
egg and chips but we remember you | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
did a series with Ainsley Harriott.
I did and I tried lots and lots of | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
food. You tried spaghetti for the
first time! I had never had a curry | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
and never had spaghetti. Ever? Never
ever. We have something special for | 0:15:21 | 0:15:27 | |
you now because we have three more
unusual takeaway is by these lovely | 0:15:27 | 0:15:30 | |
people here standing in our blue
area. They are going to pitch their | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
individual takeaway is to you.
Lovely. You have to decide which one | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
you fancy. You have a taste of that
and we will try pickled walnut. We | 0:15:40 | 0:15:46 | |
go in first with Sandra from Old
Chang Kee. What have you brought and | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
why should Len try it? Singaporean
curry puffs, Singapore's version of | 0:15:50 | 0:15:55 | |
the Cornish pasty. But I think
better. They have got chicken, | 0:15:55 | 0:15:59 | |
potatoes and a secret special spice.
They sound delicious. What do you | 0:15:59 | 0:16:03 | |
think of that? I'm not even a great
punter for Cornish pasties. That | 0:16:03 | 0:16:08 | |
don't make me a bad person! Let's
have the next one. Next up, David is | 0:16:08 | 0:16:14 | |
here with his Venezuelan, David from
Guasacaca. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:27 | |
I've got traditional Venezuelan
food, gluten-free, and this one has | 0:16:27 | 0:16:31 | |
got some shredded beef, I've got
mature cheddar cheese, and avocado | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
on top. That sounds nice. Yeah.
Finally, Grant, with some Mozambican | 0:16:35 | 0:16:44 | |
food. Go on. I've got a beautiful
territory source originating from | 0:16:44 | 0:16:52 | |
Mozambique. I bought a beefburger
with triple smoked bacon and some | 0:16:52 | 0:16:57 | |
Emmentaler cheese, and the is very
special. It's blind date with what's | 0:16:57 | 0:17:04 | |
it going to be? The yardstick for
food from my grandad was, never eat | 0:17:04 | 0:17:09 | |
anything that you can't spell,
right. I'm going to go for the | 0:17:09 | 0:17:14 | |
Mozambican, because it looks like a
burger. Hickey comes. Delicious. -- | 0:17:14 | 0:17:23 | |
here he comes. Get tucked in, Len.
We can share this one. I'll have a | 0:17:23 | 0:17:31 | |
go. On a napkin. It looks a bit
messy. That is very nice. Your job | 0:17:31 | 0:17:42 | |
is the pickled walnut, not the
burger. But if that nice? I don't | 0:17:42 | 0:17:47 | |
need a whole one. Are you a pickled
walnut virgin? I am. Only have a... | 0:17:47 | 0:17:57 | |
Lovely, it's almost like being on
that flight together again. I'm sure | 0:17:57 | 0:18:03 | |
they are fine. They are lovely! They
are very spicy and pickled. I really | 0:18:03 | 0:18:12 | |
like them. That has a kick, doesn't
it? You have it on a cracker. That | 0:18:12 | 0:18:19 | |
it'll be exciting street food in the
UK, and we ended with Len eating a | 0:18:19 | 0:18:24 | |
burger, there you go!
CHEERING | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
A good burger. I want the rest of
it. I've got a bit of this and that | 0:18:27 | 0:18:33 | |
in it. Enjoy it. His most recent
release was Radio 2's some of the | 0:18:33 | 0:18:43 | |
week, and Tom Chaplin is going all
Christmassy on us. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:45 | |
# | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
Christmassy on us.
#, an all-new faithful in | 0:18:47 | 0:18:49 | |
# Lets sing it up for Christmas Eve
# It's coming up to midnight, sing | 0:18:49 | 0:18:56 | |
on
# Let it go | 0:18:56 | 0:19:02 | |
# ... That was Midnight Mass, and
this is Tom Chaplin. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:11 | |
CHEERING
I think that is the first time I | 0:19:11 | 0:19:18 | |
have seen Midnight Mass sober! This
is a Christmas album. It is. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:25 | |
Christmas songs can be a bit cheesy,
and you are extremely cool. How did | 0:19:25 | 0:19:31 | |
we marry those things? I'm not sure
I'd describe myself as extremely | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
cool, but I wanted to do an
alternative Christmas album. For | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |
those of us who experienced
Christmas in loads of its different | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
ways, which is obviously some joy
and hope and good things, but there | 0:19:43 | 0:19:47 | |
is the other side, which can be
remembering people you've lost and | 0:19:47 | 0:19:51 | |
reflecting on the state of the world
and those kind of things. It is a | 0:19:51 | 0:19:55 | |
pause in the busy year. I wanted to
write about all that kind of | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
different stuff. You mentioned
people we've lost, and the album is | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
dedicated to somebody special to
you. Get a dog, in fact! Wiggy, | 0:20:03 | 0:20:09 | |
there he is. How long did you have
him? He was my wife's dog and she | 0:20:09 | 0:20:18 | |
had him from when was 17. He died
nearly 17 so we had him for a long | 0:20:18 | 0:20:24 | |
time. It was part of the family. It
was heartbreaking. You go around | 0:20:24 | 0:20:29 | |
doors and expect to see him there. I
thought it would be nice to do it. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:34 | |
She didn't know the outcome was
going to be dedicated to Wiggy, and | 0:20:34 | 0:20:38 | |
she opened the first copy and its
setup crying for a couple of hours. | 0:20:38 | 0:20:42 | |
There was not a dry eye in the
house. And then, with her in tears, | 0:20:42 | 0:20:49 | |
you said, adding Christmas. I did.
And Tom will be singing Under A | 0:20:49 | 0:20:55 | |
Million Lights very soon. Now, the
glorious Gyles Brandreth enjoys | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
nothing more than interviewing the
rich and famous. This time he comes | 0:20:59 | 0:21:04 | |
face-to-face with the bestselling
author of over 30 works of fiction, | 0:21:04 | 0:21:07 | |
but he is equally well-known for the
real stories of his chequered past. | 0:21:07 | 0:21:14 | |
This is a version we are all
familiar with if it even exists. If | 0:21:14 | 0:21:19 | |
it does exist, have you ever
wondered what you'll do when you get | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
here? Who would you most like to
meet in heaven, and what will you | 0:21:23 | 0:21:27 | |
most missed about planet Earth?
Today I'm meeting a storyteller | 0:21:27 | 0:21:30 | |
whose life has been stranger than
fiction to find out what his idea of | 0:21:30 | 0:21:34 | |
heaven is. It's Jeffrey Archer. Oh,
a copper is on the go. I'd better | 0:21:34 | 0:21:43 | |
get down and join him. -- cuppa. Oh
no, not you! You've not come from | 0:21:43 | 0:21:53 | |
heaven to see me, because I'm not
ready to go. Sit down. Jeffery, why | 0:21:53 | 0:21:58 | |
is this your idea of heaven on
earth? It's a lovely place. When | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
Mary and I came here 30 years ago,
it wasn't fashionable. We were on | 0:22:02 | 0:22:07 | |
the wrong side of the river. It is
now suddenly fashionable. You make | 0:22:07 | 0:22:12 | |
your fortune writing bestsellers
and, as you know, it says in the | 0:22:12 | 0:22:16 | |
good book that it easier for a camel
to get through the eye of a needle | 0:22:16 | 0:22:19 | |
in a rich man to get into heaven. I
don't think our Lord would mind | 0:22:19 | 0:22:24 | |
somebody who tells stories. Who do
you want waiting at the pearly | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
gates? The author of the count of
Monte Cristo and the Three | 0:22:28 | 0:22:35 | |
Musketeers, Alexander do mass. I
think he is an amazing story Tory -- | 0:22:35 | 0:22:38 | |
storyteller and he wrote both books
in the same year. You would be | 0:22:38 | 0:22:43 | |
arriving in heaven with the creator
of the Three Musketeers and as you | 0:22:43 | 0:22:48 | |
step into heaven, there will be
music playing, who would you have? | 0:22:48 | 0:22:55 | |
Francis Arthur Sinatra.
# It's quarter to three, there's | 0:22:55 | 0:23:00 | |
nobody in the place... ... With
Frank Sinatra playing, let's step up | 0:23:00 | 0:23:05 | |
to heaven.
# One more for the road... There you | 0:23:05 | 0:23:14 | |
are, Gyles, what the Financial Times
described as the greatest view in | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
Europe. Not bad, pity about the
weather. What is your proudest | 0:23:17 | 0:23:23 | |
achievement? Been chosen to run for
Great Britain against Russia in | 0:23:23 | 0:23:25 | |
1966. What distance? The 100 yard
and I still hold the Oxford record | 0:23:25 | 0:23:34 | |
of 9.6, which is a bit of a cheat
because nobody runs that distance | 0:23:34 | 0:23:38 | |
now, they run the 100 metres, so I
will hold that record forever. What | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
are you least proud of, most ashamed
of? I need some thought for this! | 0:23:43 | 0:23:52 | |
Hmm... Gosh, so much. You had ups
and downs in your life. You had near | 0:23:52 | 0:24:01 | |
bankruptcy, you had imprisonment.
Which of those is the worst? Facing | 0:24:01 | 0:24:06 | |
bankruptcy. I don't know anything
worse. You don't sleep at night, you | 0:24:06 | 0:24:11 | |
can't balance the books. It's
absolutely devastating. When you | 0:24:11 | 0:24:16 | |
meet the Almighty and come
face-to-face with God, will you be | 0:24:16 | 0:24:19 | |
asking for forgiveness, and what
would you ask forgiveness for? Oh, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:25 | |
yes, a lot of asking for forgiveness
and hope and for understanding. I'd | 0:24:25 | 0:24:30 | |
say, put it on a balance and, if the
balance comes down on one side, I'm | 0:24:30 | 0:24:36 | |
with you. If it doesn't, I'm off
down there! What have you learned in | 0:24:36 | 0:24:45 | |
all this time? How very lucky I've
been. I started life wanting to be a | 0:24:45 | 0:24:50 | |
politician. I'd liked to have served
my country and it wasn't to be, | 0:24:50 | 0:24:54 | |
through my own stupidity but I found
I could tell a story and it's been | 0:24:54 | 0:24:58 | |
over rewarded and I'm fortunate. A
view more steps on the road to | 0:24:58 | 0:25:02 | |
heaven, and some quickfire
questions. What the food you will | 0:25:02 | 0:25:12 | |
miss most? Shepherd's pie. Drink?
Red wine. What smell? When you're an | 0:25:12 | 0:25:20 | |
athlete at the beginning of the
season, you smother grass for the | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
first time and you know season has
begun. -- you smell the grass. The | 0:25:24 | 0:25:30 | |
good news is this is a game and
you're not going to heaven yet. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
Thank you for joining me.
Thank you, Gyles and Jeffrey Archer. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
Jeffrey's latest book of short
stories, Tell Tale, is out now. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:46 | |
Earlier, we asked for your pictures
with British music legends. Jane | 0:25:46 | 0:25:52 | |
from Poole met Des O'Connor. Linda
has met Ronnie Wood. David from | 0:25:52 | 0:25:58 | |
Pontyberem has met Tom after a
concert in Cardiff. Louise and the | 0:25:58 | 0:26:03 | |
late night football mums an 18 night
out, bumping into Olly Murs! -- on a | 0:26:03 | 0:26:11 | |
team night out. This is Keith with
Tom in HMV last week. Lovely. That's | 0:26:11 | 0:26:17 | |
nearly it for tonight. Thank you for
Len. My pleasure. On Monday, Gabby | 0:26:17 | 0:26:23 | |
Logan will be here to reveal the 12
contenders for Sports Personality of | 0:26:23 | 0:26:29 | |
the Year. To sing us out into the
weekend, Tom Chaplin with his hit | 0:26:29 | 0:26:32 | |
