:00:18. > :00:28.and the star of the medical sitcom, Scrubs. Now, microphone..questions

:00:28. > :00:53.

:00:53. > :00:59.for guests, fine wine. Now, clear. Oh, you're so kind. Thank you very

:00:59. > :01:06.much, everybody and welcome to the show. We've got a great line-up for

:01:06. > :01:14.you tonight. Oscar-nominated thespsian, Kenneth Branagh is here.

:01:14. > :01:22.That's posh. And star of Scrubs, Zack Braff is joining us, and

:01:22. > :01:28.comedian Frank Skinner is here. And music from the brilliant Taio Cruz.

:01:28. > :01:37.Yes! I can't wait to meet Kenneth Branagh. He shot to fame as the

:01:37. > :01:45.director and star of the film Henry V. Kenneth portrayed him as a tough,

:01:45. > :01:51.gritty warrior. Here's the actual Henry V. No oil painting, mind you,

:01:51. > :01:57.here's Henry VIII and the most famous of all Henrys, Henry the

:01:57. > :02:07.Hoover. Kenneth also directed and starred in Mary Shelley's

:02:07. > :02:08.

:02:08. > :02:13.Frankenstein. That was a creature with two left feet. This is it!

:02:13. > :02:19.Doh! Kenneth is currently appearing in

:02:19. > :02:25.the Oscar-tipped film, My Week With Marilyn. All about Marilyn Monroe.

:02:26. > :02:32.She had affairs with so many famous men, it was even rumoured she had

:02:32. > :02:42.an affair with Albert Einstein. What did she like about him?

:02:42. > :02:50.Let's get some guests on. Later in the show, Taio Cruz, but

:02:50. > :03:00.first, it's Frank Skinner. How are you?

:03:00. > :03:03.

:03:03. > :03:10.He scrubs up well, it's Zack Braff! Oh, oh, oh!

:03:10. > :03:20.Shove up! But soft, he approaches. He is nigh.

:03:20. > :03:31.

:03:31. > :03:37.Oh, oh! It's like having one direction on the show, isn't it?

:03:37. > :03:42.30 years' time. Welcome to you all. But a special hello to you, Zack,

:03:42. > :03:49.and welcome to London. Thank you for having me.

:03:49. > :03:54.You're here for a while? I've moved here. I'm doing the play in the

:03:54. > :04:00.West end at the Duke of York York and I'll be here until April. So I

:04:00. > :04:05.like to think of myself as a Londoner. And are we treating you

:04:05. > :04:11.well? Are you settling in? Yes, I'm getting used to the changes. Not

:04:11. > :04:18.tipping. I tipped the cab driver too much the other day and he said,

:04:18. > :04:22."Why are you wasting your money?" That was a rare cab driver. I

:04:22. > :04:29.wouldn't go on television saying you don't tip cabbies. You'll be

:04:29. > :04:35.waiting a long time. And Kenneth, you've just come from the London

:04:35. > :04:40.Circle Film Awards. I have. Did you win? Yes, I did!

:04:40. > :04:45.Congratulations. Thank you. What did you get? It was a very

:04:45. > :04:49.splendid glass platter, mounted on another glass thing that is both

:04:49. > :04:56.beautiful and a wonderful blunt object if someone tried to break

:04:56. > :05:02.into the house. But it was a thrill, both to be nominated and to win.

:05:02. > :05:11.And you're now nominated for a BAFTA as well? Yes. And all of this

:05:11. > :05:17.for your film about Marilyn Monroe. But I saw you at the Globes. I was

:05:17. > :05:25.on an unbelievable table. Over here was Madonna, and then Meryl Streep

:05:25. > :05:33.and I was the albatros. But it was lovely to watch. And I hope you get

:05:33. > :05:40.the Oscar as well. Thank you. Frank you're currently the new host

:05:40. > :05:47.of Room 101. I don't like the "currently" what have you heard?

:05:47. > :05:53.rumours are flying around. No, you're the third host. Do you guys

:05:53. > :06:01.know the show? Yes. I don't, but I've heard it's popular.. I think

:06:01. > :06:08.you'll be fine! Thanks, Zack, I'm warming to you. You were on it

:06:08. > :06:14.once? Yes. What did you put in? put in Action Man. What was wrong

:06:15. > :06:20.with him? It wasn't against Action Man per se, but I come from a very

:06:20. > :06:28.poor family and we couldn't afford the outfits. So my mother used to

:06:28. > :06:34.make them. And she knitted him a matching throufrs and Cardigan in

:06:34. > :06:41.quite a heavy stitch with buttons on. And he looked like an offduty

:06:41. > :06:49.nurse. And when I played with my friends, they had Nazi Storm

:06:49. > :06:54.Troopers. So I was very unhappy as a child. What would you put in?

:06:54. > :07:00.Protective texts. I'm useless at it, but the idea of predicting words

:07:01. > :07:06.that I've never heard of rather than the ones I really want, it

:07:06. > :07:13.takes me four or five times longer to do the thing that is supposed to

:07:13. > :07:22.save you time! And then the ones that slip through. Oh, have you had

:07:22. > :07:31.some like that? I've discovered that Cole and anal and cock are the

:07:31. > :07:41.same thing! You can say a lot more on a British chat show than you can

:07:41. > :07:42.

:07:42. > :07:48.in America! And what would you like to say? Cock and anal! With all

:07:48. > :07:56.boys on the couch tonight, it had to kick off.

:07:56. > :08:04.I find the people who walk around with Bluetooth in their ear

:08:04. > :08:11.incredibly annoying. London is really shutting down for you now.

:08:11. > :08:17.Now, My Week With Marilyn is a huge hit. You are playing Sir Lawrence

:08:17. > :08:23.Olivier. Yes. And when you started out, there were a lot of

:08:23. > :08:29.comparisonons between you and Sir Lawrence, the Shakespeare and

:08:29. > :08:34.directing. But you've gone from mainstream and Hollywood. What was

:08:34. > :08:37.that like going to Hollywood? it was very exciting. You can't

:08:37. > :08:42.quite believe you are there, and lots of things happen to make you

:08:42. > :08:50.doubt it as well. When I first went there 20 years ago, they asked what

:08:50. > :08:56.car I would like to drive. I had no idea. And the guy said, "What about

:08:57. > :09:02.the Ford Mustang, open top and red?" so I said, "OK. So the car

:09:02. > :09:10.waits for me at the hotel and I put the sunglasses on. And I keep going

:09:10. > :09:16.over the wrong side of the road so people are hanging at me. And I get

:09:16. > :09:22.to Paramount studios, and because I'm a Brit my name is not on the

:09:22. > :09:30.gates. And I say, "But I'm directing this big Hollywood film."

:09:30. > :09:34.And I wasn't getting in. Eventually I had to call my mum, as it were,

:09:35. > :09:40.the producer, and spell my name. And they sent me to the parking

:09:40. > :09:44.structure. So I took deep breaths, you've arrived now go and direct

:09:44. > :09:50.your big, Hollywood film. I couldn't get the ignition key out

:09:50. > :09:54.of the car. I couldn't get the roof to go up. And there's a button on

:09:54. > :10:00.the steering column you had to press to let the thing go. And I

:10:01. > :10:05.had to call my mum again and they had to come and get me. So now I'm

:10:05. > :10:11.an hour late and you feel an idiot and you have to explain you don't

:10:11. > :10:16.know anything about cars. I hired a car, because new cars are always

:10:16. > :10:21.scary. And I couldn't get it into reverse and I was coming off a

:10:21. > :10:29.driveway and moving really slowly and somebody blasted their horn and

:10:29. > :10:35.there was an old couple in the car. And every time I turned to reverse

:10:35. > :10:43.they blasted the horn and I swore at them and they looked shocked and

:10:43. > :10:51.who are fied and I went to reverse again and I was leaning on the horn

:10:51. > :10:57.and it was me! Because, Zack, you made it big with

:10:57. > :11:01.skrabsskrabs so proper cash was coming in and you -- Scrubs so

:11:02. > :11:09.proper cash was coming in and you went crazy with the money, didn't

:11:09. > :11:15.you and cars? Yes, the first thing I did was get a beautiful Porche.

:11:16. > :11:21.And my co-star on the show thought it would be funny to play a

:11:21. > :11:26.practical joke on me. There was a show called punked. Did you have it

:11:26. > :11:33.here? We did. Three days off the lot and I was going to a liquor

:11:33. > :11:38.store, and there were hidden cameras and some teenagers asked us

:11:38. > :11:44.to buy them booze because you can't buy it until you're 21 in the

:11:44. > :11:52.States. And I said no I wasn't going to do it. And when we came

:11:52. > :12:01.out of the liingor store the car appeared to be completely covered

:12:01. > :12:09.in graffiti. Ruined, and the whole thing had been choreographed that I

:12:09. > :12:15.wouldn't be able to catch the little b..... But I caught them and

:12:15. > :12:21.I was pummelling them. And I couldn't see from my per cent

:12:21. > :12:29.public sectorive because my adrend line was pumping -- adrenaline was

:12:29. > :12:34.pumping that he was looking like a little boy. But, of course they

:12:34. > :12:39.edited that bit out because they don't want you beating up children

:12:40. > :12:46.on television. But they got me really badly. And when we went into

:12:46. > :12:51.the store, my co-star knew he was on camera. And we walk in and

:12:52. > :12:59.there's a giant rack of porn. It's the first thing you see and I'm

:12:59. > :13:04.with my buddy. Magazines and DVDs. Both, probable. I'll give you the

:13:05. > :13:11.address. I can picture it in my mind. Stay with us. So I walk over

:13:11. > :13:19.to the rack, because I'm, like,, "Check this out" and my mate,

:13:19. > :13:29.because he knows he's on camera is, like, "Oh, I'm not into that" and

:13:29. > :13:31.

:13:31. > :13:37.I'm like, "Yes, you are." Now, Kenneth, you play Lawrence

:13:37. > :13:41.Olivier, and it was like the Prince and the show girl. Yes, he

:13:41. > :13:46.considered himself very traditional. She had an acting coach who was

:13:46. > :13:51.with her most of the time. And aside from showing up late, they

:13:51. > :13:56.also played a love scene and he wanted her to react to the scene

:13:56. > :14:02.but she wanted to feel it and she said famously that when she wanted

:14:02. > :14:10.to show in her eyes that she was in love with him she had to think of

:14:10. > :14:19.things that she loved, like Coca- Cola. And she said she needed to

:14:19. > :14:25.feel it, and he wanted to turn up and do it, but she wanted the muse

:14:25. > :14:31.to visit. And it didn't visit very often. We have a clip here. This is

:14:31. > :14:38.you coping with the acting coach. Well, we're still the first ones.

:14:38. > :14:45.Ghee, this is all right, isn't it. Cut. Can't we just drop it. Well,

:14:45. > :14:53.the thing is, you've already admired the hall downstairs in the

:14:53. > :15:01.first scene and now you're admiring this room as well. Sure. Paula!

:15:01. > :15:11.Christ. I don't get it. He's a strange man I think he already

:15:11. > :15:14.

:15:14. > :15:21.figured it out that he invited her here just to sleep with him. What

:15:21. > :15:29.is it? Marilyn doesn't believe the situation she is in. Then she needs

:15:29. > :15:38.to think about the truth. truth..Marilyn needs as long as it

:15:38. > :15:43.takes, Chaplin took eight months to make a movie. Eight months, I'd

:15:43. > :15:47.rather kill myself! I've seen that film. It is so funny. Actors who

:15:47. > :15:56.are at the end of their tether is always the funniest thing. I did a

:15:56. > :16:02.play with an actor who used to get very mad about people coughing in

:16:02. > :16:09.the audience. And I'd be standing in the wings and he'd say, "Why

:16:09. > :16:15.don't you cough yourselves to death!" and the hand dryers in the

:16:15. > :16:25.toilets. Yes, and now it's people taxing. And the phone famously

:16:25. > :16:27.

:16:27. > :16:33.ringing. Al Pachino apparently picked one up from the audience and

:16:33. > :16:38.said, "I'm acting go away." And it's the same with the cinema,

:16:38. > :16:47.people are eating and bring their sandwiches out and they can't hear

:16:47. > :16:53.and they're saying, "Is that him? He's a bit short, isn't he!" and

:16:53. > :16:59.you carry on regardless. And did you ever meet Lawrence? I never met

:16:59. > :17:04.him, but I wrote to him. I was struggle with a part which he had

:17:05. > :17:10.played it was check-off. And I wrote and said, because I was at

:17:10. > :17:16.that point bending over double and pouring flour over my hair and

:17:16. > :17:21.pretending to be old, which wasn't effective. And I asked if there was

:17:21. > :17:28.anything he had watched or heard or listened to that he could share

:17:28. > :17:35.with me and he wrote back and said, yes there was, but no he wouldn't.

:17:35. > :17:42.Because you have to work it out. But he said his advice was "to have

:17:42. > :17:47.a bash and I wish you good luck" but what I remember of the

:17:47. > :17:51.experience of that letter coming through to my bedsit was the letter

:17:51. > :17:59.itself. The quality of the notepaper was so rich I felt like

:17:59. > :18:06.somebody had sent me a table cloth. And the embossed Lawrence Olivier

:18:06. > :18:11.at the top, it's in a special drawer. To have just someone even

:18:11. > :18:20.bother, from a drama student who found his address in the Who's Who

:18:20. > :18:26.of the theatre. I was tibl write to him and be inspire ed -- I was able

:18:26. > :18:30.to write to him and be inspired for the rest of my days. That's an

:18:30. > :18:36.incredible story. When you were launched on the world it looked

:18:36. > :18:42.like you were very driven and did these amazing things one after the

:18:42. > :18:47.other. Would the younger Branagh have said "yes" to directing a

:18:47. > :18:52.blockbuster like Thor? Well, I certainly used to read that comic

:18:52. > :18:58.when I was a kid so I knew it was true about my feeling for it. But

:18:58. > :19:03.for me, working-class from Belfast, just to even be an actor was

:19:04. > :19:10.already such an amazing leap of faith, my parents were amazed. They

:19:10. > :19:15.thought if you were going to be an actor you were about to be

:19:15. > :19:20.unemployed, homosexual and broke. Well....All Of which is perfectly

:19:20. > :19:28.fine but it doesn't remotely include the idea of directing a

:19:28. > :19:38.great, big movie like Thor. even then you didn't take your

:19:38. > :19:44.Shakespeare hat off, because Christmas Hemsworth, you made him

:19:44. > :19:50.do things. But he's an amazing feller. Even I had to sometimes sit

:19:50. > :19:56.down and have a quick rub with the Radio Times! He's very stimulating.

:19:56. > :20:01.He had all those good looks, but he was an amazing proper, proper on

:20:02. > :20:08.actor and he wanted people to follow Thor into the jaws of death.

:20:08. > :20:15.And it was all about his hammer swinging. And he has an impressive

:20:15. > :20:19.hammer and a great gift with it! That's the DVD extras! But he was

:20:19. > :20:24.able to take on board using the language. A fantastic kid and a

:20:24. > :20:30.straight up and down movie star, an amazing guy but ready to do all of

:20:30. > :20:37.it, a real worker who wanted not just to look it but feel it as well.

:20:37. > :20:45.If you're looking for keep fit advice, Zack you've got some...Oh,

:20:45. > :20:50.Yes, my tips are outrageous. you have some top tips? Well, I

:20:50. > :20:58.think like most people New Year you think, "This is the time" and I

:20:58. > :21:05.went to the gym and I was working out and I'd chosen a day, randomly,

:21:05. > :21:10.Arnold Schwarzenegger walked into the gym! I knew I was in the right

:21:10. > :21:16.one. I tried to put some more weights on to look more impressive.

:21:16. > :21:22.I think he knew the gym owner and he was taking a tour. And he

:21:22. > :21:29.approached me, and I don't know whether he knew me as an actor or

:21:29. > :21:34.as a govern er to say, "Hello citizen" and he said, "What are

:21:34. > :21:41.your goals with your workout." I was so on the spot that I retreated

:21:41. > :21:48.to this very little boy place. And I said, "Well, to be honest, Arnold,

:21:48. > :21:58.if I could have anything, did you ever see the movie Fight Club? I

:21:58. > :21:59.

:22:00. > :22:09.really liked Brad Pittsabs. And he immediately said, "That's all diet.

:22:10. > :22:11.

:22:11. > :22:16.You have to eat a lot of carrots. "And there's Arnold Schwarzenegger,

:22:16. > :22:21.he's Ms Universe. Oops, too many steroids. So I ran home and I

:22:21. > :22:29.bought a shit tonne of carrots and I was eating them for weeks, but

:22:29. > :22:35.nothing ever happened. Now, if you want nutrition advice, Frank

:22:35. > :22:43.Skinner does supplements? Well, someone, very comiccally bought me

:22:43. > :22:49.something called 50 Plus for my 50th birthday. Which are vitamin

:22:49. > :22:56.tablets to get you to the end! And I took them, I thought, "Why not,

:22:56. > :23:00.they might help" and after three days I noticed that my urine had

:23:00. > :23:07.become completely humanness. So the point where it basically shined in

:23:07. > :23:13.the dark. There was, like, a little landing strip from my bed to the

:23:13. > :23:20.ensuite where I'd done a sort of dribbley return! It was scary. You

:23:20. > :23:30.know the rug you get in front of the toilet, it was like flying over

:23:30. > :23:33.

:23:33. > :23:38.Vegas. Now, we turn to modern-day Shakespeare because Zack, you have

:23:38. > :23:46.written a play? Yes. And you're performing is around the country.

:23:46. > :23:52.We're starting in Manchester. Then going to Glasgow. Yes.

:23:52. > :24:00.then ten wonderful weeks in the West End. So please come and see it,

:24:00. > :24:05.Mr Branagh, please come and see it. Oh, you're invited too!

:24:05. > :24:11.Too little, too late. I sense you're going to give me the box

:24:11. > :24:17.office number! It's called All New People. Yes,

:24:18. > :24:23.Sir. Tell us about it. I wrote this play about four strangers who come

:24:23. > :24:29.together in a desolate beach house in the dead of winter. And it's a

:24:29. > :24:34.comedy about these four strangers and it takes place in real-time, 90

:24:34. > :24:38.minutes. Nice. We did it off Broadway in New York and we had a

:24:39. > :24:44.wonderful reaction. It was my first play so I was very pleased and

:24:44. > :24:49.excited. And then we got this call to bring it to the West End. So it

:24:50. > :24:54.was just beyond my imagination. I'm so honoured. And I didn't play the

:24:54. > :25:00.role the first time, because it was my first play and I wanted to sit

:25:00. > :25:06.at the back of the house and tweak it. And now I think we have it in

:25:06. > :25:14.pretty good shape I'm excited to play in it this time. But now

:25:14. > :25:21.you're performing your own lines are you thinking," Eeeek" or "this

:25:21. > :25:25.is very good." It was funny when we did the play the first time and the

:25:25. > :25:34.actor was saying, "I don't like this line" and I couldn't

:25:34. > :25:40.understand it, but now I do. And it's funny because all my fellow

:25:40. > :25:48.actors think I will know it off the book, because they thought I'd

:25:48. > :25:54.written it I would know it off by heart, but I don't. But do you

:25:54. > :26:04.rewrite it? Not now. Do you know what you could do is make changes

:26:04. > :26:10.every day for the rest of them. Really screw them up! Yeah, not so

:26:10. > :26:15.clever now? But just the thought of being able to do it here. I'm very

:26:15. > :26:21.aware, as a theatre student, about the story of the West End and just

:26:21. > :26:29.to be here is very exciting. are going to Manchester and Glasgow

:26:29. > :26:36.first, just to remind you! Now, Zack is very careful with his fans,

:26:36. > :26:41.you're very in touch through Facebook and Tweeting? Yes. I'm in

:26:41. > :26:47.favour of Facebook because it's a great way to talk to the fans. And

:26:47. > :26:51.whatever I'm doing, whether it's an independent film or a play, they

:26:51. > :26:56.don't have the publicity behind them so it's great to get right to

:26:56. > :27:02.the fans and say, "This is what I'm up to." You made an extraordinary

:27:02. > :27:06.promise to a fan on Facebook. Tell us. I reached a million fans

:27:06. > :27:13.on Facebook, which I thought was pretty cool. It's very cool.

:27:13. > :27:19.what I decided to do as a thank you for all these people supporting me,

:27:19. > :27:26.I said if you submit a video telling me what you would do if I

:27:26. > :27:32.hung out with you for a day, and it need not be special, it could be

:27:33. > :27:39.childcare or a personal assistant. And whatever you want me to do for

:27:39. > :27:44.a day, I'll come and do. A lot of small print, I think. And I put it

:27:44. > :27:49.out, because Facebook is all over the globe. And we narrowed it down

:27:49. > :27:54.to ten and the fans themselves voted and the video that won are

:27:54. > :27:58.these fellows in Austria and as soon as my play is done I'll go and

:27:58. > :28:06.visit them in Austria. But what will you do? I don't know, I think

:28:06. > :28:11.they just want to party. Have you been to Austria before? No. I hear

:28:11. > :28:19.it's lovely. If they have a basement, don't go into it. I don't

:28:19. > :28:26.get it. Kenneth Branagh explaining. Kenneth

:28:26. > :28:33.is filling me in on that. Oh! hoping they won't take me to their

:28:33. > :28:38.basement. No, don't go. Well, the part of the videos was to let me

:28:38. > :28:43.not see that you're not a crazy person. But I guess people can hide

:28:43. > :28:51.that! Yes. None of the neighbours knew!

:28:51. > :29:00.The neighbours always say, "He was just a normal guy." Yes. I used to

:29:00. > :29:07.be written to by this woman I came to know as a jigsaw woman. And she

:29:07. > :29:12.used to send me graphic sexual letters, very neatly cut into

:29:12. > :29:18.perfect jigsaw pieces so you had to piece them together. And my PA, who

:29:18. > :29:24.was a very sweet woman would carefully Sellotape these pieces

:29:24. > :29:30.together to make sure all the fifthy words were available. And

:29:30. > :29:34.she used to sign it and I was on tour and my tour manager said,

:29:34. > :29:39."There's a woman from the local radio station who wants to

:29:39. > :29:46.interview you" and I said, "Fine" so I came in and we spoke and she

:29:46. > :29:55.said, "Here's my card, if you want to speak again" and I looked at it

:29:55. > :30:02.and it had this symbol on it, and I said, "You're the jigsaw woman,

:30:02. > :30:11.aren't you?" and she said, "That's all in the past" and I said, "I got

:30:11. > :30:18.the last one three weeks ago." And I said, "I want you to go or I'll

:30:18. > :30:25.scream" and she said, "Let me sleep with you tonight" and I said you

:30:25. > :30:31.are out of your mind. I'll never wake up. She said," Please, I'll

:30:31. > :30:38.never bother you again. One night and I'll go." And I said" no,

:30:38. > :30:45.please go" and she lifted up her jumper. And she had a bra on, it

:30:45. > :30:55.was quite nice and she stood like this. And I said, "And you promise

:30:55. > :30:58.

:30:58. > :31:04.me I'll never hear from you again!" And I....I did it. I risked it!

:31:04. > :31:09.Thank you for sharing that so much I'm not going to sleep with these

:31:09. > :31:16.Austrian boys. You break it to them like this. If you're watching, I'm

:31:16. > :31:22.not! Listen, Frank, you're doing a show

:31:22. > :31:30.in the West End and you have your radio show still going and new host

:31:30. > :31:36.of Room 101. Mm. And it has a new formula, it's more like a panel

:31:36. > :31:42.show? Yes, I'm the host and there are three guests competing to get

:31:42. > :31:50.their hates into Room 101. I hate the logo so much it's put me off

:31:50. > :31:58.the Olympics. Look at that. It's like the worst jigsaw you've ever

:31:58. > :32:03.seen. I do think that's the tinyest, tinyest part of the Games. But I

:32:03. > :32:13.could do a better logo right now. I'll do a better logo for the

:32:13. > :32:24.

:32:24. > :32:30.Very good. I've seen that logo everywhere and I didn't know it was

:32:30. > :32:37.for the Olympics. You didn't know what it was? No, I just thought it

:32:37. > :32:41.was some graphic weird design and now I know, thank you. It is some

:32:41. > :32:46.graphic weird design. But you are doing something extraordinary for

:32:46. > :32:54.sports relief? Well, it is extraordinary for me, but it's one

:32:54. > :32:59.of those challenges, you know Eddie Izzard ran 44 marathons, and David

:32:59. > :33:03.Walliams swam the Thames. I'm swimming a length. Now, I should

:33:03. > :33:07.say I can't swim and I'm frightened of water. I've always been

:33:07. > :33:12.frightened of water. And it gets worse because it looks like the

:33:12. > :33:18.chances are, it's not certain yet, but we're going to be doing it in

:33:18. > :33:24.the Olympic pool. And the Olympic pool is twice the size of any other

:33:25. > :33:32.pool. So they have said it will an width. Which makes it sound even

:33:32. > :33:38.more rubbish. And I didn't go to the gym. I have a terrible physique.

:33:38. > :33:45.I'm thinking I might have to do it in a suit to preserve my dignity.

:33:45. > :33:51.You can't swim at all. I can't go out of my depth. Will you have the

:33:51. > :33:56.water wings on? No, I have six weeks to learn and they're going to

:33:56. > :34:01.give me therapy to get observer the fear. Are you making this up?

:34:01. > :34:06.People are laughing. I have a phobia of cake. I'm going to

:34:07. > :34:11.attempt to eat this for sports relief? No, for years, I'm the

:34:11. > :34:18.person who minds other people's stuff on beach hoiltdz while they

:34:18. > :34:23.go off and swim. -- holidays while they go off and swim. What is the

:34:23. > :34:29.most frightening thing? Drowning. That's number one. It's also number

:34:29. > :34:35.two. And I'm doing this live on sports relief night. So I could

:34:35. > :34:42.actually drown on the night. I don't know if they'll carry on, or

:34:42. > :34:49.will people still get their money. Or if you're taking too long, will

:34:49. > :34:55.they just leave it. You could just bob there. I'll be lying on the

:34:55. > :35:00.bottom of the pool. Don't wear clothes or a suit, because they'll

:35:00. > :35:06.be heavy. And also be careful of those tight-fitting one-pieces as

:35:06. > :35:12.well. I'm not worried about the aero-dynamic. It's going to be

:35:12. > :35:21.quite cold in there. I imagine my testicles, by that stage, will have

:35:21. > :35:26.just gone past my heart. Can I just say it's still not certain we're

:35:26. > :35:31.going to do the Olympic pool. Because they're concerned to have

:35:31. > :35:38.someone as frightened as me in an Olympic pool. And also, it's not a

:35:38. > :35:45.good idea if you died. I like the aid of, you know the white line

:35:45. > :35:53.they put around a body in murder films! In mosaic. Good luck with

:35:53. > :36:01.the swim. I hope it goes well. really serious. It's a big deal.

:36:01. > :36:11.Time for some music now. Performing Troublemaker, please welcome, Taio

:39:54. > :39:58.Come and take a seat. Mr Skinner, Mr Braff, Mr Branagh.

:39:59. > :40:03.Thank you. I looked at them. I wasn't sure they were the party

:40:03. > :40:11.generation, but look at them. That's the single out at the moment,

:40:11. > :40:17.Troublemaker. That's right. And the album is out in March. Yes. It's

:40:17. > :40:24.called Taio. I feel so stupid, I always assumed you were American?

:40:24. > :40:28.lot of people think that, and even when I talk to them for ten to 20

:40:28. > :40:35.minutes they still think I'm American. And they say, "Say

:40:35. > :40:41.something" and when I say "hello" they say, "Oh, yes, you're

:40:41. > :40:51.English." And did you write Umbrella? It's a long story, but,

:40:51. > :40:52.

:40:52. > :41:00.yes, it was my song before Rhianna stole it. Bitch! I'll do her when I

:41:00. > :41:04.see her. It's cool. I'm still here. I'm on the Graham Norton show!

:41:05. > :41:09.where's she? She's not here. No. Thank you very much for doing that

:41:09. > :41:19.and thanks for all the dancers. We're going to go, but just before

:41:19. > :41:22.

:41:22. > :41:28.we have a story in the Red Chair. Hello. Hiya. What is your name?

:41:28. > :41:37.Aisling. I'm guessing you're from Ireland? I am. The north of the

:41:37. > :41:45.country. What do you do? Costume design. Interpretation. There will

:41:45. > :41:52.be subtitles on Friday! Can you understand her? I can't. So far,

:41:52. > :41:59.you're not missing anything. I've never heard of costume

:41:59. > :42:05.interpretation before? It's the same as design, isn't it? Except

:42:05. > :42:12.posher. Pull the leaver. Off you go? OK, leading up to Christmas I

:42:12. > :42:20.was at home. Look at Zack's face. Did you get it? Something about

:42:20. > :42:30.Christmas. Just pick out words. Christmas and home. I went to the

:42:30. > :42:32.

:42:32. > :42:41.shop and I had to- get-milk-and- bread. And I was a bit stressed, so

:42:41. > :42:49.it was like, run in, run out, let's go. I just told my boyfriend pick

:42:49. > :42:58.me up, no need to park the car. I came out, perfect timing. Saw the

:42:58. > :43:03.silver people carrier, casual speed. So I sprinted across with my

:43:03. > :43:08.groceries, jumped in the back and thumped the back of the chair

:43:08. > :43:13.saying go, go, go and because it was Christmas I had a scarf up here

:43:13. > :43:20.and a hat down here. And I thought the person who was my boyfriend,

:43:20. > :43:26.turned out to be this middle-aged, 60-year-old woman. And she was

:43:26. > :43:36.screaming, "Jesus" and pushed her foot on the accelerator and went

:43:36. > :43:39.

:43:39. > :43:46.straight into a lamp post! Oh. Very good. And you can get in touch at

:43:46. > :43:53.the website and please thank all my guests tonight. Taio Cruz, Frank

:43:53. > :44:02.Skinner, Zack Braff and Mr Kenneth Branagh. Thank you. Joining me next
