0:03:46 > 0:03:48he was shit.

0:03:50 > 0:03:51Your chosen charity?
0:03:53 > 0:03:56- Repeat the question? - Your chosen charity.
0:04:00 > 0:04:01I'm going to get stick for this.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07Um, it's not coming, John.
0:04:10 > 0:04:11Pass.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17In May, The Voice moved to BBC
0:04:17 > 0:04:20and Judge Tom Jones appeared on This Morning to promote it.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25But the topic turned to something a little more personal for Tom.
0:04:25 > 0:04:26You were born with this, weren't you?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29- This was called bladder exstrophy? - Yes, exactly.
0:04:29 > 0:04:32- So you had testicles. - Oh, yeah.- Right.- I still do.
0:04:32 > 0:04:33- Yeah.- You've never actually
0:04:33 > 0:04:37- officially had them measured, have you?- Well, it's not my choice.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39- Oh.- Well, you had three operations.
0:04:39 > 0:04:41When you had these polypropylene implants put in.
0:04:41 > 0:04:43Now this is a procedure that's banned now,
0:04:43 > 0:04:44you can't have it any more.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47They say, "Well, if you want to do it, you know, we can put them..."
0:04:47 > 0:04:50You know what I mean, they put it all on me.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52Nobody was sort of with me.
0:04:52 > 0:04:56The other question that everyone was asking was - why?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58I need to feel that it's real.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00That it's not fake.
0:05:00 > 0:05:03But with that comes the added initial problem
0:05:03 > 0:05:08that to test that it works you have to have a two-week erection.
0:05:08 > 0:05:11I, you know, of course, in that respect,
0:05:11 > 0:05:14I should have stopped, like, a couple of days before.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17But why didn't they give me some more notice than that?
0:05:17 > 0:05:20This is...this is, you know, it's not common,
0:05:20 > 0:05:22but there will be people who have this,
0:05:22 > 0:05:23that there is now a way forward.
0:05:23 > 0:05:28I can, I can sort of help others with the experience that I've had.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Tom, it's lovely to see you. Good luck.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40the BBC allowed alcohol on the set of Question Time
0:05:40 > 0:05:41to spice things up a bit.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I'll take one more point and then we'll go on.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47From the woman, the woman there, in the gangway.
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Or is it the man on the gangway?
0:05:49 > 0:05:53- Yes, you.- Yeah. Can I go to the toilet please?
0:05:53 > 0:05:54Fraser Nelson.
0:05:56 > 0:05:59Well... I... No, actually.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00What?
0:06:00 > 0:06:02HE STUMBLES
0:06:03 > 0:06:06OK. Can you pick up on what Fraser said?
0:06:06 > 0:06:11Fraser, I think we should establish a couple of principles.
0:06:11 > 0:06:18- First of which is that while the...the... So, York...- OK.
0:06:18 > 0:06:20I'm sorry. I think we should go on.

0:07:41 > 0:07:44Considering this was a 12 certificate in the cinema
0:07:44 > 0:07:47at the time, a lot of people thought it was a bit too rude.

0:10:43 > 0:10:46# Never a frown with golden brown... #
0:10:46 > 0:10:48For example, in Golden Brown,
0:10:48 > 0:10:51there was always a slight baroque sheen to it.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55You've got this high bassoon and you hear it, you think, "What is that?"
0:10:55 > 0:10:57It has a sort of timbre of a French horn,
0:10:57 > 0:10:59slightly timbre of a cor anglais but, no, it's a bassoon.
0:10:59 > 0:11:02But there's an extra sort of thing a sort of...
0:11:02 > 0:11:04MAKES COUGHING AND YAWNING SOUNDS
0:11:04 > 0:11:06And you listen to it and think, "Oh!"
0:11:06 > 0:11:07Boom!
0:11:07 > 0:11:10"Oh, that's the thing I've been listening to, that!"
0:11:10 > 0:11:16But, ah! So I really made sure that it would just sound good.
0:11:16 > 0:11:19I quite like...quite like hearing the noise I make.
0:11:19 > 0:11:22- PARTY BLOWER - Yeah. Amazing.
0:11:22 > 0:11:26His version of Golden Brown was number one for one consecutive month,

0:17:07 > 0:17:14# I want so much more than they've got ba-a-a-a-a-a.... #
0:17:16 > 0:17:19CBeebies Bedtime Story.
0:17:19 > 0:17:22This year, Hollywood came to the CBeebies channel,
0:17:22 > 0:17:25as some of the biggest stars read classic stories for kids.
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Tonight's story is called Peace At Last.
0:17:30 > 0:17:32Snore.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Snore.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37Meow.
0:17:37 > 0:17:45H-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m-m...
0:17:45 > 0:17:51HE CONTINUES HUMMING
0:17:51 > 0:17:56HE CONTINUES HUMMING
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Brrrr!
0:17:59 > 0:18:01I'll see you soon for another Bedtime Story.
0:18:01 > 0:18:03But it was old Jackanory favourite Martin Jarvis
0:18:03 > 0:18:07- who turned a few heads... - Hello.- ..when he read this story.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Have you ever been possessed by the devil?
0:18:11 > 0:18:13I should hope not.
0:18:13 > 0:18:17Today's bedtime story is all about a little girl called Regan,
0:18:17 > 0:18:20who gets taken over by a nasty demon.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25It's called The Exorcist and it's written by William Peter Blatty.
0:18:25 > 0:18:31"Put your sanctified cock in the piglet's mouth and cleanse it!"
0:18:31 > 0:18:34Regan then showered the Jesuit with more vomit.
0:18:34 > 0:18:40- "Do you know what she did, your- BLEEP- daughter?"
0:18:40 > 0:18:42HE GROANS
0:18:43 > 0:18:44Bye.
0:18:50 > 0:18:532017 was a year of ground-breaking documentaries.
0:18:53 > 0:18:56Some of the best I've ever seen, in fact.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00The one I enjoyed the most was Channel 4's Feral Families,
0:19:00 > 0:19:04a show about feral families, where parents prove that bringing up kids
0:19:04 > 0:19:06with no rules had its benefits.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08Better to not have any rules.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11No rules means you can do whatever you want.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15I know there's no rules, but you've got to clean the slide!
0:19:15 > 0:19:16- Cow!- You...!
0:19:16 > 0:19:23SIZZLING, CHILD SCREAMS
0:19:24 > 0:19:27But the most disturbing documentary of the year had to be
0:19:27 > 0:19:30What Makes A Psycho... Path.
0:19:30 > 0:19:36Some of these are very dark acts indeed so, be prepared,
0:19:36 > 0:19:41these interviews are very graphic and some of them very disturbing.
0:19:42 > 0:19:45HE MAKES ANIMAL SOUNDS
0:19:45 > 0:19:49HE WHOOPS AND SHOUTS
0:19:49 > 0:19:51HE CONTINUES MAKING ANIMAL SOUNDS
0:19:54 > 0:19:59We'll be revisiting these interviews and explore why these men committed
0:19:59 > 0:20:02these abominable crimes, and how they feel about them now.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11MONKEY SOUNDS
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Fuck you, Dwayne. Fuck you, Mike Dunners.
0:20:19 > 0:20:222017 was the year of long-awaited sequels...
0:20:22 > 0:20:23Is that a monkey?
0:20:23 > 0:20:27..as the king of the Jungle returned in Skull Island.
0:20:27 > 0:20:33I don't want to splash about in the bath with anyone else.
0:20:35 > 0:20:40Dench was back as craggy granny Mrs Brown in Mrs Brown II.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47But we'd been waiting three decades for this one.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50What do you want?
0:20:50 > 0:20:51Karina Foley, hall monitor.
0:21:06 > 0:21:09Now let's take a few moments to think about those who we sadly
0:21:09 > 0:21:10lost in 2017.
0:21:13 > 0:21:14Sir Roger Moore.
0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sir Bruce Forsyth.
0:21:21 > 0:21:22Sir John Hurt.

0:21:45 > 0:21:47Here are some more.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30BELL TOLLS
0:22:30 > 0:22:35Now, how do you tell a crime story backwards and maintain the suspense?
0:22:35 > 0:22:40That's the challenge for BBC One's latest dark drama, Killer.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43From the writers of The Missing,
0:22:43 > 0:22:47the first episode opens at the end with the prime suspect caught.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49The series moves backwards in time
0:22:49 > 0:22:52through a string of gruesome murders.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56The back to front storyline proved an irritation for many of you.
0:23:09 > 0:23:10Following the success of Rellik,
0:23:10 > 0:23:13other dramas decided to do things backwards, too.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Yecats!
0:23:29 > 0:23:31In December, some of our greatest sporting people
0:23:31 > 0:23:34gathered to honour the dullest sportsperson

0:24:41 > 0:24:43..buzz in Hollywood is that it's shocked.

0:25:56 > 0:26:01# I'm only human after all, don't put the blame on me... #
0:26:01 > 0:26:03And his sensational follow-up to Humans
