0:00:02 > 0:00:05This programme contains some strong language

0:00:05 > 0:00:07'What's so great about him?'

0:00:07 > 0:00:10Well, he's smart and reliable.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12You sound like you're describing a car.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14You know he likes you.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17Finds you...fascinating.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19SHE YELPS AND LAUGHS

0:00:22 > 0:00:27I've really, really loved hanging out with you for the last few days.

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Yeah, me too.

0:00:29 > 0:00:31You're going to propose to her?

0:00:31 > 0:00:34Yes, I'm going to pop the question at my birthday party.

0:00:34 > 0:00:38- Why don't you go and tell her?- It's fancy dress. I don't have a costume.

0:00:38 > 0:00:39Sorry, who are you meant to be?

0:00:39 > 0:00:42We're Riggs and Murtaugh, you know, from Lethal Weapon.

0:00:42 > 0:00:45What if she doesn't feel the same? It'll be awkward living with her.

0:00:45 > 0:00:50- Well, it doesn't matter. If she says yes to him, she won't be living here.- What is it?

0:00:50 > 0:00:53Brian's about to propose to you.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Don!

0:01:18 > 0:01:20So, come on, did he propose?

0:01:20 > 0:01:23- Yes. He did.- And what did you say?

0:01:23 > 0:01:25I said I'd think about it.

0:01:25 > 0:01:27- So, "no" then.- Not necessarily.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30Well, "think about it" hardly suggests "yes", does it?

0:01:30 > 0:01:32No, it suggests I'll think about it.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34It must be killing him.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37I bet he never thought he'd find someone like you at his age.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40- Oh, Don, that joke is getting old! - It's not the only thing getting old.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42Oh, you are so annoying.

0:01:42 > 0:01:45No wonder your only friend is Rain Man over there.

0:01:45 > 0:01:49Oi, cheekbones, that's not very nice.

0:01:49 > 0:01:51He's not my ONLY friend.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Anyway, Eddie might be a bit half price, but he's nothing like Rain Man.

0:01:55 > 0:01:58- AMERICAN ACCENT:- I'm an excellent driver. Excellent driver.

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Look, I'm just saying, either you love Brian, or you don't.

0:02:04 > 0:02:07I just want to make sure that we'd be doing it for the right reasons.

0:02:07 > 0:02:09We've only been together for a few months.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12Yeah, but at his age, time goes all skewiff.

0:02:12 > 0:02:16It's like that dog years thing. When you're older, a year can seem like a week.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Or is it the other way around?

0:02:18 > 0:02:21- You know, you're not so young yourself.- Yeah, but I'm not OLD.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25No, it's just your receding hairline that makes you look it.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28How could you be so evil and hurtful and spiteful?

0:02:28 > 0:02:31SHE CHUCKLES

0:02:31 > 0:02:36- AMERICAN ACCENT:- Of course, I get my underwear from K-Mart. From K-Mart.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40- What are you freaks up to? - Just having a little line run ahead of tonight.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42'Eddie belongs to the local theatre club.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45'He's been in several productions since he joined.'

0:02:47 > 0:02:49You can say it backwards, you know!

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Which is docious-ali- expi-listic-fragi-cali-repus.

0:02:53 > 0:02:56I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00There's just one more thing. My wife loves ya!

0:03:00 > 0:03:03Why would I kill the man in the same way I wrote about it in my book?

0:03:03 > 0:03:04Nick?

0:03:06 > 0:03:11We're doing Rain Man this week. I'm playing the Dustin Hoffman part.

0:03:11 > 0:03:13Oh, I love it when I get cast against type.

0:03:13 > 0:03:14SHE SNEERS

0:03:14 > 0:03:17You are coming tonight, aren't you, Don?

0:03:17 > 0:03:20To the theatre? I'd rather stay at home and staple-gun my dick to my balls.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22Oh.

0:03:22 > 0:03:25But hey, look. We don't have a stapler,

0:03:25 > 0:03:27so of course I'll be there.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30I've got a stapler I'd be happy to lend you.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33Shush your mouth, Gollum.

0:03:33 > 0:03:38'And so that night we all went to see Eddie in his silly little play.'

0:03:38 > 0:03:44Amtrak train number 36, the Desert Wind, eastbound, now boarding, track number three.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- Very shiny train.- It sure is.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Now, listen, I'm comin' to see you in two weeks. How many days is that?

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Fourteen days from today. Today's Wednesday.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Course, that's 336 hours.

0:03:56 > 0:04:0120,160 minutes. 1,209,600 seconds.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03Ray, I'll see you soon.

0:04:03 > 0:04:08- Yeah. Bet one for bad, two for good. - Bet two for good.

0:04:08 > 0:04:10- Three minutes to Wapner. - You'll make it.

0:04:14 > 0:04:17TRAIN WHISTLES

0:04:19 > 0:04:21CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:04:21 > 0:04:24I will not wear that thong, Louis Walsh!

0:04:31 > 0:04:35- Outstanding. Puts Hoffman to shame. - Talent like that is so attractive.

0:04:35 > 0:04:36I'd really like to fuck him.

0:04:42 > 0:04:47Strange. Does somebody need their laundry doing?

0:04:50 > 0:04:52You were really enjoying yourself up there.

0:04:52 > 0:04:55You should be so proud of yourself, Eddie. You were brilliant.

0:04:55 > 0:04:58You all enjoyed it? You didn't think it was amateurish?

0:04:58 > 0:05:01- Eddie, it made me cry.- Yeah, all right, Bri. It weren't that bad.

0:05:01 > 0:05:04Because I was so moved. It was a wonderful piece of drama.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Yeah, and the women in the audience adored you.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09You reminded me of a young Justin Hoffman.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11I think you mean Dustin Hoffman.

0:05:11 > 0:05:13No. Justin Hoffman!

0:05:13 > 0:05:18He's the town drunk who shouts at pigeons outside Tesco's. You're right, he does a bit.

0:05:18 > 0:05:20I'm not sure how to take that, Dot.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23The poor man's an actual retard.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25OK. Night, everyone.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28Oh, and well done... Justin Hoffman.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Right, better quickly get all this washing on.

0:05:33 > 0:05:38Eddie, this local theatre club of yours?

0:05:38 > 0:05:40- Uh-huh?- Can anyone join?

0:05:40 > 0:05:44Abso-lulu. Anyone from the local community, that is.

0:05:44 > 0:05:46When do rehearsals start for the next show?

0:05:46 > 0:05:49Next week. There's a rumour we're doing Cocktail - The Musical.

0:05:49 > 0:05:53Rain Man? Cocktail? What, is it some sort of Tom Cruise season?

0:05:53 > 0:05:56Exactly. Some sort of Tom Cruise season.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00I wonder if they'll do Eyes Wide Shut?

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Oh, no, no, no, no. We tried that a few months ago.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05Didn't go down at all well.

0:06:06 > 0:06:10AUDIENCE: That's the most disgusting thing I've ever seen!

0:06:10 > 0:06:11This is an outrage!

0:06:11 > 0:06:13SEXUAL MOANING

0:06:13 > 0:06:15BOOING

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Right, I want to join. What do you reckon?

0:06:20 > 0:06:21But you hate the theatre.

0:06:21 > 0:06:24You said you'd rather staple-gun your penis to its balls.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27Look, Eddie, theatre's like male masturbation.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29Fun to do, hideous to watch.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32I saw all that attention you were getting back there.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35There's something about men expressing their gayness on stage

0:06:35 > 0:06:38that gives women a fizzy vagenie. I don't know why.

0:06:38 > 0:06:39But can you act?

0:06:39 > 0:06:41Since when did acting have anything to do with it?

0:06:41 > 0:06:43It's about star quality, Eddie.

0:06:43 > 0:06:48Not acting. Just take a look at some of the greatest screen legends of the last 30 years.

0:06:48 > 0:06:53Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, that French Mastiff from Turner and Hooch.

0:06:53 > 0:06:57All terrible actors, yet utterly mesmerising.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Man, that dog was good!

0:07:00 > 0:07:02OK, Don. You can come along.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04But please, no horseplay.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08- Sorry, horseplay?- Yes, horseplay.

0:07:08 > 0:07:12- You're actually genuinely using the phrase horseplay?- Yeah.

0:07:12 > 0:07:15Jesus, Eddie. Sometimes I think you're from the turn of the century.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19- What, the year 2000? - No, no. The one before that.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24'I was very excited about becoming an actor.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28'And I needed something to take my mind off the whole Brian and Sam situation.'

0:07:28 > 0:07:33A special round of applause to Eddie and Randy for their extraordinary performances in Rain Man.

0:07:33 > 0:07:35APPLAUSE

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Oh, thank you. Thank you.

0:07:37 > 0:07:39Really, there's no need for applause.

0:07:39 > 0:07:41I'm just like you guys.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46Well...a bit like you.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51Rain Man was a triumph, but now on to our next production, my sweet little puppets!

0:07:51 > 0:07:57Now, I have been thinking long and hard, and I've decided that our next production will be...

0:07:57 > 0:07:59Wait for it...

0:08:01 > 0:08:04Top Gun - The Musical!

0:08:06 > 0:08:10Er, excuse me. Excuse me. Over here.

0:08:10 > 0:08:15Don't you think we ought to wait for the director to arrive before you start deciding what's what?

0:08:15 > 0:08:18Oh, right. Good idea. Yes.

0:08:18 > 0:08:19Top Gun it is, then.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22Don. That is the director.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25Now, I sense a few newcomers...

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Whoa, whoa. Sorry, sorry, guys, sorry.

0:08:29 > 0:08:33Has no-one else noticed that he's...?

0:08:33 > 0:08:35Well, you know he's, er...

0:08:35 > 0:08:40- I'm not sure I see what you're saying.- Exactly my point. No?

0:08:40 > 0:08:42Oh, never mind. Jesus!

0:08:42 > 0:08:44Before we start divvying up the roles,

0:08:44 > 0:08:47why don't we just loosen up and start with some exercises, OK?

0:08:47 > 0:08:49So, on your feet, come on, come on.

0:08:52 > 0:08:55Excuse me, er... Don Danbury. I'm new.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57Ah, always a pleasure to have a newbie in the troupe.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00A fresh puppet to place my proverbial hand inside.

0:09:00 > 0:09:03I hope proverbial means you won't actually put your hand inside me?

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Ha, ha, how funny. I'm Simon Simon Smith.

0:09:05 > 0:09:07Nice to meet you.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Hang on, Simon SIMON Smith?- Correct.

0:09:10 > 0:09:13What, your first name's Simon and your middle name's Simon?

0:09:13 > 0:09:15Yes. My mother had a stutter. What can I do for you, poppet?

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Are you sure Top Gun's the right way forward here?

0:09:18 > 0:09:21- What would you suggest?- I dunno. One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest?

0:09:21 > 0:09:23Been there. It was a travesty!

0:09:23 > 0:09:26I told them we should never have done it on ice!

0:09:26 > 0:09:31I mean, how was the character in the wheelchair meant to know how to ice skate, huh? Answer me, Donald!

0:09:31 > 0:09:32I don't know.

0:09:32 > 0:09:33Theatre games!

0:09:33 > 0:09:37'Was I being stupid? I mean, how does a blind man direct a musical?'

0:09:37 > 0:09:39I get what you're saying. About him.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42It's weird, innit? No-one else seems to have a problem with it.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44Oh, I've got a problem with it, all right.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48I wish his type would just go back home.

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Where do blind people come from? Oh...

0:09:53 > 0:09:56See you in a minute.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03Time to reveal who will be playing whom.

0:10:04 > 0:10:07Please be Maverick, please be Maverick.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12Yes! I'm Tom Cruise.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15I'm Tom mother-loving Cruise.

0:10:15 > 0:10:17Oh, right. I'm Goose.

0:10:17 > 0:10:19I feel the need.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22- BOTH:- The need for speed!

0:10:24 > 0:10:28I wonder who's playing Charlie? The Kelly McGillis role. She's really fit.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31As in sexy, not healthy.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm just saying she looks nothing like Kelly McGillis.

0:10:39 > 0:10:40This is community theatre, Donald.

0:10:40 > 0:10:43What if the community don't buy me and her as a couple?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46Fuck the community, then! Fuck them all. This is my production.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Too many times has the community interfered with my work.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52I should never have done Cuckoo's Nest on ice. A boy died that night!

0:10:52 > 0:10:54All right. I'm sure it weren't your fault.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57I was the one who skated across his jugular.

0:10:57 > 0:11:01- You were in the show? - Yes. I'm in all my productions.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03Holy batty sleeves.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06Actually, this tete-a-tete is quite useful.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08I'm playing Iceman, you see?

0:11:08 > 0:11:10Let's use this tension.

0:11:10 > 0:11:12Let's use it!

0:11:16 > 0:11:18My God, Don, you look just like Cruise.

0:11:18 > 0:11:20Well, thank you very much.

0:11:20 > 0:11:22- I want to kiss you on the mouth. - What?

0:11:22 > 0:11:25On with rehearsals, my rancid little puppets!

0:11:28 > 0:11:34# Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

0:11:35 > 0:11:40# Take my breath away... #

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Wonderful. Exquisite. And now Margaret.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47# Take my breath away... #

0:11:47 > 0:11:52Good. Now Maverick moves in towards her. Come on, Don.

0:11:52 > 0:11:56In for the kiss. In for the kiss, Don! In for the kiss!

0:11:56 > 0:11:59- All right!- Kiss her.- I'm going to!

0:11:59 > 0:12:01Kiss her, please. Kiss!

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Kiss her.

0:12:03 > 0:12:04And...

0:12:08 > 0:12:09And cut.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11THUD

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Tea break?

0:12:12 > 0:12:13I can't feel my arms.

0:12:19 > 0:12:22Because, Goose, you're the only goddamn family I've got.

0:12:22 > 0:12:24Goddamn family.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26SHE SMIRKS

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Oh, look, Noel Coward's back from the dead.

0:12:29 > 0:12:33Ha-ha-ha. Funny. Not sure who that is exactly, but it's funny.

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Right, finished with the jokes? Good.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36Check this shit out.

0:12:36 > 0:12:41I have just landed myself the lead role in the theatre club's latest production.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43Congratulations, Don.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47Thought it was time I got myself involved in some challenging theatre.

0:12:47 > 0:12:50Top Gun - The Musical. It's hardly Chekhov, is it?

0:12:50 > 0:12:52Oh, ha-ha-ha.

0:12:52 > 0:12:54You are so naive, Samantha.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56Top Gun's all about the subtext.

0:12:56 > 0:13:00- Some of it's very Chekhovian. - Do you even know who Chekhov is?

0:13:00 > 0:13:03Not a clue. Was he the bad guy in Beverly Hills Cop?

0:13:03 > 0:13:05- No.- Who am I thinking of, then?

0:13:05 > 0:13:07- Berkoff.- You berk off!

0:13:07 > 0:13:11Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing it, it'll be good for a laugh.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14Top Gun's not a comedy, Samantha.

0:13:14 > 0:13:15- Do you want tea?- Yes.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17I'll just have a hot water and lemon.

0:13:17 > 0:13:22Better keep an eye on this little fella, being on stage and whatnot.

0:13:22 > 0:13:27There's some jammy doughnuts in the cupboard, bring them in. Good girl.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32Psst. Don. Over here.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40Can we have a quick mano-a-mano?

0:13:40 > 0:13:42I hope that's not slang for sex.

0:13:42 > 0:13:44No, no. It means a one-to-one.

0:13:44 > 0:13:45Still sounds like sex.

0:13:45 > 0:13:47I need some advice about Samantha.

0:13:47 > 0:13:50You want advice? From me?

0:13:50 > 0:13:55- All her other friends are students at the university where I teach. You're the only one left.- Right.

0:13:55 > 0:14:00- Am I being a dick?- I don't know. But I'm desperate to say yes. - Waiting for Sam like this.

0:14:00 > 0:14:04- Give her a chance to let the kettle boil!- No, no. I'm talking about my proposal.

0:14:04 > 0:14:07- Ah, yeah.- It's been almost two weeks since I asked her.

0:14:07 > 0:14:11When I push for an answer, she says she needs more time. How much does she need?

0:14:11 > 0:14:14- Either she loves me or she doesn't. - Well, that's what I said.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17- What does it look like to other people? - Like you've landed on your feet.

0:14:17 > 0:14:23Well, look she's funny, smart, good-looking, intelligent, genuine, fit.

0:14:23 > 0:14:26Oh, man, I would love to have sex with her.

0:14:26 > 0:14:29Is what people probably think.

0:14:29 > 0:14:31Which is good. It's a compliment.

0:14:31 > 0:14:34So I shouldn't just walk away?

0:14:34 > 0:14:36Because, well, I've been thinking about it.

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Honestly, Bri? You wait as long as it takes.

0:14:43 > 0:14:47Because if you walked away you'd be a making a terrible mistake.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51And believe me, I know a lot about terrible mistakes.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Thanks, Don. You're a really good guy, you know?

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- Well... - I don't care what other people say.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02What do you mean, "what other people say?"

0:15:02 > 0:15:07OK, listen up, puppets. I have some terrible, terrible news.

0:15:07 > 0:15:10Margaret is in hospital.

0:15:11 > 0:15:15Apparently she'd been having trouble feeling anything in her arms all day,

0:15:15 > 0:15:20and last night lost control of her car and drove into a shop. Splat.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24And so there is a strong possibility she will not be able to perform tomorrow.

0:15:24 > 0:15:29Yes! Yes! Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! Yes!

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I mean, oh, poor Margaret. I hope she's all right.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43Which means that we need to find ourselves a new starlet, otherwise this production shuts down.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49- Either that or we go the Shakespeare route and I'll play the love interest.- What?! No, no.

0:15:49 > 0:15:51You're playing Iceman.

0:15:51 > 0:15:55- Are you questioning my ability to dupliact?- No?- Good.

0:15:55 > 0:15:58Then find me my local ingenue or fetch me my frock. You decide!

0:15:58 > 0:16:00Please choose the frock.

0:16:01 > 0:16:06We need to find a new leading lady quick sharp.

0:16:09 > 0:16:12- What are you going to have? - I'm not sure.

0:16:15 > 0:16:17- Say "ah."- Ah.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22SHE MOANS

0:16:39 > 0:16:42What's up with you? Someone stolen your corset?

0:16:42 > 0:16:44SHE SMIRKS

0:16:44 > 0:16:47They'd bloody better not have.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49We've got a problem with the show.

0:16:49 > 0:16:53Is the problem called Top Gun - The Musical?

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Do you mind? Jesus, I never give YOU grief.

0:16:57 > 0:17:00The lead actress has pulled out.

0:17:00 > 0:17:03- Why?- Well, she's in a coma.

0:17:03 > 0:17:06Right, well, she hasn't exactly dropped out, then, has she?

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Well, she's hardly going ahead with it, is she?

0:17:09 > 0:17:12I'm having trouble finding a replacement.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15Needs to be a girl, obviously.

0:17:15 > 0:17:17Someone from the local area.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19- Preferably someone sexy.- I'll do it.

0:17:19 > 0:17:22Resist, resist, resist. I can't.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24I said, "someone sexy".

0:17:27 > 0:17:30She needs to be confident enough to get up on stage.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37It would help if she was blonde.

0:17:37 > 0:17:39Mid 20s-ish.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42Maybe if her name was like Anne, or Pam,

0:17:42 > 0:17:44which is short for Pamantha, I believe.

0:17:44 > 0:17:47Do you know anyone who fits that description?

0:17:47 > 0:17:49- Nope.- Oh, go on. You'd be perfect.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51Not as good as I'd be.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53Shush, Gollum, adults are talking.

0:17:53 > 0:17:55I don't even know if I can act, Don.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58You'll be in perfect company. Nobody in the show can act.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02Oh, go on. I don't want to do kissing scenes with Simon Simon.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06- Wait, there are kissing scenes? - No, no.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11- I'll think about it, OK? - OK, yeah. OK.

0:18:15 > 0:18:17So, what do you reckon? Are you in?

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Thanks for doing this, by the way. You have totally saved the show.

0:18:31 > 0:18:33Sorry, are you running lines?

0:18:33 > 0:18:35I think I'm going to say yes.

0:18:35 > 0:18:37Really? In which scene?

0:18:37 > 0:18:41- No, to Brian.- Oh.

0:18:41 > 0:18:44Why?

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Because I do love him, Don.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49Yeah, but are you IN love with him?

0:18:49 > 0:18:52I just want to be with somebody who's not going to let me down.

0:18:52 > 0:18:54Right. Someone like me, you mean?

0:18:54 > 0:18:57No, that's not what I mean.

0:18:57 > 0:18:59OK. Two minutes, puppets!

0:18:59 > 0:19:02Samantha, you're confident that you remember everything, yes?

0:19:02 > 0:19:06- Yes, I think so.- Think? Think? I need you to know, my dear!

0:19:06 > 0:19:08OK, I know.

0:19:09 > 0:19:12And Donald, you remember what I said earlier?

0:19:12 > 0:19:16Look, I told you before, I don't want you to give me a pre-show blowie.

0:19:16 > 0:19:20- No, not that. Earlier, before that? - Oh, right. Er?- Come on, puppet.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22The secret to great acting?

0:19:22 > 0:19:25The golden code to a truly mesmerising performance?

0:19:25 > 0:19:27Oh, yeah, yeah. Say the words from the script.

0:19:27 > 0:19:29Correct. Now fly, my puppet!

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Take to the stage! You've got it.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34You're sure I can't give you a quick pre-show blowie?

0:19:51 > 0:19:54You are a hell of a pilot, Maverick.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57So I am going to write a dream ticket.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01You two jokers are going to Top Gun.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30He had the death scene. You can't top that. Death scenes.

0:25:30 > 0:25:33Simpletons. Blacking up. He's an awards magnet.

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- Can I have a word?- Yeah, of course.

0:25:38 > 0:25:41I always thought you'd be shit on stage.

0:25:41 > 0:25:43Great. Thanks, Gollum.

0:25:43 > 0:25:45But you were quite good, actually.

0:25:45 > 0:25:48Oh. Thanks, Dot.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51- I can't believe how much fun that was.- You were amazing.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Oh, thank you.- You always are.

0:25:53 > 0:25:58Look, I was going to wait until we got back, but I want to tell you something.

0:25:58 > 0:25:59Me too.

0:25:59 > 0:26:01OK, well, you first.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Ah. How do I say this?

0:26:05 > 0:26:08I saw you up there with Don. You were really convincing.

0:26:08 > 0:26:11- Yeah, but we were just acting, you know that, right?- Were you?

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Yes.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16Even if that kiss was just acting,

0:26:16 > 0:26:22even if you considered him to be just another actor, and not Don.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Well, you still had more chemistry with that person than you do with me.

0:26:26 > 0:26:28I watched the way you both kissed and thought,

0:26:28 > 0:26:33"She has never, ever kissed me like that."

0:26:38 > 0:26:40Don't be sad.

0:26:40 > 0:26:43Better we found this out now, hey?

0:26:44 > 0:26:48I'll leave you all to celebrate.

0:26:54 > 0:26:57More washing. How exciting!

0:26:57 > 0:27:00Puppets! I'd like you to meet my beloved wife.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03- Er, sorry. Wife?- Yes, wife.

0:27:03 > 0:27:05Everything OK, Samantha?

0:27:05 > 0:27:07Ah, Samantha, my heroine.

0:27:07 > 0:27:11You are truly a talent. And what chemistry you and Donald have.

0:27:11 > 0:27:12You must do more together, you must.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Well, I do keep trying to tell her, Simon Simon.

0:27:15 > 0:27:19But I think she'd rather act opposite Uncle Brian.

0:27:19 > 0:27:20Actually, where is Bri?

0:27:20 > 0:27:23Erm, he's gone. He had to leave.

0:27:23 > 0:27:28Well, I would like to propose a toast. To Donald and Samantha.

0:27:28 > 0:27:31The perfect Maverick and Charlie!

0:27:31 > 0:27:34- Cheers!- Cheers.

0:27:46 > 0:27:50# Lines, we've drawn a few
