:01:47.:01:52.

Yeah... Seriously? Cameron, Obama and the

:01:53.:01:55.

Danish Prime Minister taking a selfie at a slightly inappropriate

:01:56.:01:58.

occasion. Hey, hey, I wonder if Michelle Obama

:01:59.:02:04.

thought that was funny? No, she did not.

:02:05.:02:08.

Delighted to have Martin Freeman back on the show. He's about to

:02:20.:02:24.

dragon who guards his gold jealously.

:02:25.:02:32.

I don't like your ring, I don't like your hairy beard and for that reason

:02:33.:02:36.

I'm out - I do impressions! So excited to welcome Ben Stiller on to

Wow. Hello. I'm really well, lovely to see you. Sit yourself down.

:03:42.:03:50.

Woo. Hello, gents. All good? Very good. You have a large audience

:03:51.:03:55.

Yes. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:03:56.:03:58.

Because heating your home is quite expensive.

:03:59.:04:06.

Hm. Do you two know each other? We have met before. Yes, where did we

:04:07.:04:13.

meet? At your premier when you did that film when you wiped your bum

:04:14.:04:18.

with a ferret. Oh yes, that one Thank you very much. It was

:04:19.:04:23.

emotional. It meant a lot to me You've stayed in touch, clearly We

:04:24.:04:27.

ran into each other at a restaurant. Do you remember that? Yes, then I

:04:28.:04:31.

came to see you in a very good play in which you were very good. I'm

:04:32.:04:36.

surprise, he's a very good actor. I'm not lying.

:04:37.:04:42.

For a moment, it looked like we might do a film together, then we

:04:43.:04:46.

didn't. It fell apart. I like your Socks though. Thanks, man, it's

:04:47.:04:51.

swings and roundabouts, we didn t do a film, but look at these Socks

:04:52.:04:56.

Martin and Jamie? Never met I don't think. We must met in the toilet.

:04:57.:05:00.

He's beautiful. OK. Just about half an hour ago

:05:01.:05:08.

Sorry I missed out on that. Jamie Oliver, a chef, is on the

:05:09.:05:14.

show, and I notice. Yes. Have you brought us Christmas treats? No no,

:05:15.:05:20.

no, no. Chocolate. But also vegan Brownies for a certain friend who's

:05:21.:05:23.

a vegan here. Yes, I am. Vegan Brownies? I always

:05:24.:05:33.

check any dietary requirements and they said vegan. Right. Disdainful.

:05:34.:05:44.

I'm sorry, I was a vegan. That's really annoying. A vegan is annoying

:05:45.:05:49.

but a vegan who shows up and goes "oh, no, I can eat anything". I got

:05:50.:05:57.

too annoying as a vegan. I can't tell you how difficult it was to

:05:58.:06:01.

develop a really good Brownie for a vegan. Really good, fresh. Doesn't

:06:02.:06:07.

mean I can't eat thinks that are vegan just because I used to eat a

:06:08.:06:12.

vegan. I'll try one. I don't really eat eggs or dairy. Eggs are in

:06:13.:06:19.

veganism. Aren't they? Shouldn't you know all about that stuff? To be

:06:20.:06:23.

honest, I just phoned up Nigella and said, can you just sort me out.

:06:24.:06:29.

APPLAUSE They're great. Would you like to try

:06:30.:06:37.

some? Please, please. They taste very healthy. Yes, yes,

:06:38.:06:45.

yes. A vegan Brownie for you. Really good. That's what happens

:06:46.:06:48.

when you give away free food. I know. They were so delicious, I

:06:49.:06:53.

finished mine! Yeah. Don't feel you have to finish

:06:54.:07:01.

it, by the way. I like it. Very quickly, I've got to

:07:02.:07:06.

mention one of my favourite film, Zoolander.

:07:07.:07:15.

APPLAUSE Is it true there'll be a sequel

:07:16.:07:19.

Possibly. There's a script and they are trying to figure out if it can

:07:20.:07:22.

be got together. I want to make sure it's put together the way it should

:07:23.:07:28.

be. Does it kind of plague you, the Blue Steel and all that sort of

:07:29.:07:33.

stuff? I actually like it because of that, the fact that it wasn't a big

:07:34.:07:37.

hit and I get people on Twitter sending me pictures of their kids

:07:38.:07:41.

saying, this is my baby doing Blue Steel and it's a baby like this

:07:42.:07:48.

Everybody seems to think their child is doing that. It's nice. Do you

:07:49.:07:51.

have to make an effort, like if you were doing a promotion for

:07:52.:07:54.

something, do you have to make sure your face never goes into Blue

:07:55.:07:59.

Steel? I do it unintentionally sometimes. The whole look came out

:08:00.:08:03.

of the way that my wife told me that I look when I would brush my hair in

:08:04.:08:07.

the mirror. Like when I look in the mirror, I look at myself and she'll

:08:08.:08:11.

go like, why are you going like this? ! I realised it was my mirror

:08:12.:08:17.

face. Obviously, mobile phones have changed the whole thing of

:08:18.:08:21.

photographs. And Martin, I hear you are very happy to have your picture

:08:22.:08:27.

taken. That's what I heard? That's absolute bullshit. I don't know the

:08:28.:08:31.

rest of the sentence. The rest of it now is informed by your reaction,

:08:32.:08:38.

but you never smile. That's because I'm not that happy. The clue is that

:08:39.:08:43.

I'm not really smiling. I don't mind moving images of myself, but yes,

:08:44.:08:46.

still photography I've never quite got the hang of. I don't know what

:08:47.:08:51.

face to pull. Blue Steel, I should try that. But yes, I don't hate it

:08:52.:08:55.

but I'm not very good at it at all, no. But as men, you always feel

:08:56.:09:01.

inadequate in a photo shoot? I sure do, yeah. Definitely don't know what

:09:02.:09:05.

I'm doing in a photo shoot. They must try to make you do terrible

:09:06.:09:16.

things, Jamie? Oh, oh... LAUGHTER From my Naked Chef times,

:09:17.:09:21.

I'm constantly being asked to get my kit off, it's just a nightmare, or

:09:22.:09:26.

juggle fruit and veg and stick them in places and smile and I am

:09:27.:09:29.

smiling, a bit more, let's see those teeth, you know. But one

:09:30.:09:34.

photographer did get you to get your kit off? Er... Well partly it took a

:09:35.:09:42.

while to get the confidence to say no, like J-Lo and say no, but I did

:09:43.:09:49.

an awful shoot. Actually, it was for an American magazine in a bathtub

:09:50.:09:53.

full of sud and fruit I think. It was such the worst picture. I can't

:09:54.:10:04.

imagine what that looks like. APPLAUSE

:10:05.:10:07.

You're a baby! The thing is, I've got four kids

:10:08.:10:11.

now. The next few years when Poppy and Daisy come back and go, "dad,

:10:12.:10:18.

why were you dressed up with that dog" and why "why were you in that

:10:19.:10:26.

gin fruit bowl? " Ben, your new film is, The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty.

:10:27.:10:30.

This is you as an actor and director, out on the 26th December -

:10:31.:10:37.

Boxing Day - obvious obviously St Steven's day. What is the origins of

:10:38.:10:41.

that day? Isn't it when you open your boxes? No. A coal delivery

:10:42.:10:49.

wasn't it, guys? Does anybody know? Does anybody care The family have a

:10:50.:10:53.

fist fight following a terrible Christmas Day. Which is more true.

:10:54.:10:58.

Is it called anything else in America? The Secret Life Of Walter

:10:59.:11:05.

Mitty - oh, Boxing Day, oh, it's called the Day after Christmas. Yes.

:11:06.:11:10.

Listen, the thing about this film is, you talk about the Hobbit being

:11:11.:11:14.

epic, but this is a comedy but also has an epic element to it? Yes, it's

:11:15.:11:19.

a guy going out into the world on this journey, the character is a

:11:20.:11:23.

dray dreamer and he's lives in his head a lot and is forced to go out

:11:24.:11:28.

into the world and is forced to find a negative because he takes

:11:29.:11:33.

photographs for Life magazine. He goes to places like Iceland and

:11:34.:11:42.

places like that. We had hobbit type Vistas. It's all good.

:11:43.:11:51.

We had mountains and stuff. The fantasy elements were big action

:11:52.:11:57.

sequences? Yes. Walter lives in New York and a lot of his fantasies

:11:58.:12:01.

involve him doing things in New York. He has a boss that's really

:12:02.:12:07.

horrible to him and he has a fantasy of fighting the boss in the streets

:12:08.:12:11.

of New York, it's sort of a super hero fight. There was a safety rig.

:12:12.:12:16.

I'm sure you have to do stuff like that. I just didn't use any. Lots of

:12:17.:12:25.

people do, it's fine. This stuff was really dangerous? Well, yeah, if

:12:26.:12:32.

it's an 100 foot dragon. Some of the stuff does look

:12:33.:12:36.

dangerous, but you're directing it, but because you are doing the stuff,

:12:37.:12:41.

you've got stunt people telling you? Yes, once you get there, you work it

:12:42.:12:46.

out and let the coordinate coordinator do it. This ex-marine

:12:47.:12:52.

takes over during those moments And there was a sequence where I jumped

:12:53.:12:57.

into the water in the Iceland sea. Chilly? Yes, very. I was wearing a

:12:58.:13:02.

dry suit which kept my body warm but hands and head when they got wet,

:13:03.:13:08.

got really cold. Yes. We did a shot ready to jump in and there was a

:13:09.:13:12.

fishing trawler behind me. We did it once and I thought we had it and he

:13:13.:13:16.

made me do it again, of course. I said, do we have to and he said "you

:13:17.:13:22.

know, well yes". Made me feel like I was going to be like a pussy or

:13:23.:13:32.

something. Actually, you mentioned that and this is a clip we have

:13:33.:13:37.

This is where the fantasies stop and he's encountering real life? Yes,

:13:38.:13:41.

it's all sort of happening. Here is the clip.

:13:42.:13:50.

There's a fin here I think. It will be a porpoise. I don't think it s a

:13:51.:13:55.

porpoise. It will protect you from the sharks. OK.

:13:56.:14:03.

I'm here. Hey. Hey. OK. That's a shark. That's what I said.

:14:04.:14:24.

APPLAUSE Wow. Listen, The Secret Life Of

:14:25.:14:30.

Walter Mitty is obviously about a man's rich fantasy life. We asked

:14:31.:14:34.

the audience if they had fantasies. Ben, these are going to blow you

:14:35.:14:39.

away. Look at that audience. Imagine the rich fantasy lives they will

:14:40.:14:44.

have. Where's Elaine? Now, let's have a lack at Elaine. Let's get the

:14:45.:14:49.

camera to Elaine. Let's see her That's Elaine. Looks like a regular

:14:50.:14:53.

lady. Wait until you hear her fantasy. This is her fantasy. OK. "I

:14:54.:14:59.

work in a small independent opticians," that's reality, man not

:15:00.:15:05.

fantasy. This is her fantasy. She fantasises that someone would come

:15:06.:15:10.

in and buy all the expensive sunglasses as I know that would

:15:11.:15:13.

really stand me in good stead with the boss.

:15:14.:15:20.

LAUGHTER That's her fantasy.

:15:21.:15:28.

Really swinging through the fences there.

:15:29.:15:30.

She's given herself the freedom to dream and there's nothing wrong with

:15:31.:15:35.

that. No. Good on you, Elaine, keep dreaming.

:15:36.:15:40.

Really amazing. I wouldn't have guessed that looking at you. It s

:15:41.:15:43.

impossible to tell. This next one is a little better. Where's Rita?

:15:44.:15:49.

There's Rita. Look at Rita! She s so frisky. Her fantasy is rubbing olive

:15:50.:16:01.

oil all over Jamie Oliver. She's made it into a recipe.

:16:02.:16:05.

Seasoning him with a dash of salt and pepper. Wow. Would you then cook

:16:06.:16:11.

him? Is that the idea? Absolutely, yes. Olive oil on his cheeks? And a

:16:12.:16:16.

bit more elsewhere. Ooh! Rita, hello! Happy Christmas.

:16:17.:16:22.

May I ask a question? Please do Hello. Hello. Erm, thank you. Would

:16:23.:16:31.

that be extra Virgin olive oil? Without a shadow of a doubt? . Would

:16:32.:16:36.

that be your every day cheap salt or sea salt? Got to be sea salt,

:16:37.:16:42.

nothing else. Thank you. I like the way you imagine you are going to eat

:16:43.:16:47.

yourself. I'm hoping I'm going to be delicious! Made a lot of mar miss

:16:48.:16:52.

that in my time. -- marinades in my time.

:16:53.:16:57.

Where's Lucy? There's Lucy. Hello. Can the person speak their own

:16:58.:17:05.

fantasy. Oh, go! Can I just say, we have been doing

:17:06.:17:09.

this show for 15 years, we have learned that no, they can't. That's

:17:10.:17:16.

why I read them. It's a trial-and-error process and you see

:17:17.:17:25.

Lucy now, incapable. Just looking a little like argh.

:17:26.:17:29.

LAUGHTER I know what you mean, it does seem

:17:30.:17:34.

weird. Nice try. A a lot of them don't speak English.

:17:35.:17:42.

There must be a translator here Lucy. "I fantasise about getting a

:17:43.:17:48.

selfie with Martin Freeman and he smiled in the picture". I think this

:17:49.:17:57.

might be true. Have you got your phone? Come down.

:17:58.:18:01.

Come down. OK.

:18:02.:18:09.

APPLAUSE Are you going to do it yourself A

:18:10.:18:18.

selfie. The definition of a selfie is that you're doing it yourself.

:18:19.:18:25.

Who is that? It's a wrestler. Why the hell do you want a selfie with

:18:26.:18:30.

me? ! If your normal kind of guy is a wrestler? ! It's a fantasy come

:18:31.:18:36.

true. OK, OK. It's not a selfie if she does that. But this is quicker I

:18:37.:18:42.

feel and her hands are shaking. She's smiling. Go on, smile. He s

:18:43.:18:46.

smiling, ladies and gentlemen. Beautiful! Beautiful. You got your

:18:47.:18:51.

selfie. Well done, Lucy. There she goes. .

:18:52.:18:54.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Made her fantasy come true!

:18:55.:18:59.

Now, it's fun you to see you smiling though. It's like you are doing a

:19:00.:19:05.

character or something. He doesn't even know me and he thinks I'm a

:19:06.:19:09.

miserable shit. He saw you in that restaurant.

:19:10.:19:14.

Hey, talking of fantasies, the hobbit, the great greatest film of

:19:15.:19:18.

all-time is back. Opened in cinemas today. Last time we saw you, you

:19:19.:19:27.

were about half way to Smaug? Smog you said, not even trying. Is it

:19:28.:19:35.

Smaug? Yes, not smog. In Ireland we say snog. It's indifferent. It's not

:19:36.:19:41.

your accent. Anyway, half way to the dragon's lair? You pick us up where

:19:42.:19:46.

we are very much on the journey facings trialing and tribulations

:19:47.:19:50.

and Bilbo is in a different phase of his life, he's no longer the sort of

:19:51.:19:54.

innocent wide-eyed thing, he's having to get stuck in and do or die

:19:55.:19:59.

really. A lot more action in this one. Yes, there is. In the first

:20:00.:20:04.

film, you had to set up the premise of who everybody is and introduce 13

:20:05.:20:10.

dwarves for a start. This one we just start running and expect the

:20:11.:20:15.

audience to hopefully know where we are. Seriously, your performance in

:20:16.:20:19.

this, I don't know how you do it, it's so clever. In terms of how the

:20:20.:20:24.

ring is changing Bilbo and it's over such a long period of time? You mean

:20:25.:20:29.

the filming of it Well, all of it, watching it is long, but...

:20:30.:20:34.

LAUGHTER? That was almost a compliment. Of course it's long Do

:20:35.:20:40.

you file away in your head kind of where I should be in my arc or is

:20:41.:20:45.

Peter Jackson defining you? It's a mixture of both. Page one acting is,

:20:46.:20:51.

where have I been and where am I going, so you have to keep a handle

:20:52.:20:56.

on that. From beginning to end it was two-and-a-half years, so it s a

:20:57.:21:04.

long gig. We have a clip. Go on The Desolation Of Smaug. Well said.

:21:05.:21:08.

That better? Yes. Really? Yes, Smaug, as in crowd, yes. It crimes

:21:09.:21:19.

are crowd? Yes, Smaug. Smaug? Yes. Anyway, this is you, Ian McKellen is

:21:20.:21:25.

Gandalf and he's starting to twig that Bilbo is changing.

:21:26.:21:32.

OK. You have changed, Baggins, you are not the same hobbit as the one

:21:33.:21:37.

that lift the shire -- left the shire. I was going to tell you.

:21:38.:21:48.

I... Found something in the goblin tunnels. Found what?

:21:49.:21:55.

What did you find? My courage. Good. That's good. You'll need it.

:21:56.:22:19.

APPLAUSE I look like I'm coming round my

:22:20.:22:25.

uncle's house when I come here, it's like "well done". Very good. Your

:22:26.:22:29.

guys, are you fans of this genre? How much do you love me? ! Loads.

:22:30.:22:42.

You are pretty good. I'm actually a huge fan so I was excited to be on

:22:43.:22:45.

the show and I'm very excited about the new Sherlock season.

:22:46.:22:53.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE It's not all about me. It's all

:22:54.:22:57.

about Martin. Back on New Year's Day? Correct. It's the 1st, 5th and

:22:58.:23:02.

12th. They are really chucking em out there? Yeah. One of the odd

:23:03.:23:09.

things that Sherlock fans do, when Benedict was here, he was telling us

:23:10.:23:13.

about how they compare him to an otter and it seems unlikely, but

:23:14.:23:19.

here is a classic. Benedict Cumberbatch, and here he is looking

:23:20.:23:26.

like an otter. It does sort of work. Now they've got you compared to

:23:27.:23:29.

another woodland creature. Do you know what is coming? No. You don't

:23:30.:23:35.

follow me on the Internet? ! What's wrong with you? Can you guess what

:23:36.:23:44.

creature he might be? Careful. Other side? Keep it clean. It's It's

:23:45.:23:53.

really unlikely. Cat weasel. Unbelievable. Cat weasel? ! That's

:23:54.:23:58.

not even a creature. It's an old tramp in the woods!

:23:59.:24:09.

No, it is a hedgehog. A hedgehog is not express

:24:10.:24:18.

expressive. LAUGHTER

:24:19.:24:23.

And here is Martin. Here is Martin. You would think a hedgehog couldn't

:24:24.:24:27.

look like that. LAUGHTER

:24:28.:24:36.

Amazing. APPLAUSE

:24:37.:24:38.

Happy hedgehog. Then less happy Martin. Does he have a hedgehog to

:24:39.:24:45.

look like him? Yes, he does. I don't think he looks like a

:24:46.:24:50.

hedgehog at all. Anybody making a face like that could look like a

:24:51.:24:55.

hedgehog. I think Ben's seen through the flaw. Explain this one then

:24:56.:24:58.

This is so specific. OK. OK. Now look at the hedgehog.

:24:59.:25:08.

LAUGHTER I rest my case. OK. If you don't

:25:09.:25:19.

mind, this is the clincher. This is Martin Freeman obvious obviously

:25:20.:25:23.

engaging with fans. How can a hedgehog do this. I'm told this

:25:24.:25:30.

isn't photo shopped. Looks like a mutant hedgehog.

:25:31.:25:41.

A post-apocalyptic thing. APPLAUSE

:25:42.:25:43.

It's Christmas and Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without Jamie

:25:44.:25:47.

Oliver being top of the best-selling book list. Save With Jamie came from

:25:48.:25:54.

your online community, your fans, the forums? Yes. They liked the

:25:55.:26:00.

quick recipes? Yes, but the fans, the people that like to cook, they

:26:01.:26:04.

know what they want and one minute it was speed and the next minute it

:26:05.:26:08.

was delicious food, comfort food that is not going to break the bank,

:26:09.:26:12.

stuff that will help save you money and I kind of thought it was a

:26:13.:26:16.

timely thing in the recession and looking at the average Brit wastes

:26:17.:26:21.

40% of everything we buy, I thought it would be really good for letting

:26:22.:26:25.

me worry about creating the whole book of delicious food where the

:26:26.:26:29.

average cost is about ?1. 30 a portion and rest assured that it's

:26:30.:26:34.

delish. So that's what I did and hopefully people love it. You asked

:26:35.:26:38.

the readers questions throughout the book. For instance, here is one on

:26:39.:26:43.

page 7 0. "Have you ever opened a bottle of wine and not quite

:26:44.:26:48.

finished it? " No!

:26:49.:26:54.

I'm sorry. Jamie, if you did that, how would you know it's time to go

:26:55.:27:02.

to bed? LAUGHTER It's a world turned up side

:27:03.:27:07.

down. But there are some really lovely recipes in there. I try and

:27:08.:27:11.

make them solid and safe and we test the hell out of them and get the

:27:12.:27:14.

public to test them and we get teenagers to test them so, you know,

:27:15.:27:17.

hopefully that's what we are known for, stuff that works. There's

:27:18.:27:21.

nothing more to bring out the anger in the British public or any public

:27:22.:27:25.

when they go shopping for the ingredients and it don't work. The

:27:26.:27:28.

chef world seems very competitive? Very much so. You seem to be fair

:27:29.:27:34.

game for some reason, like Gordon Ramsay's been quite rude about you,

:27:35.:27:37.

why do they pick on you, because you are successful? We used to get on.

:27:38.:27:43.

Did you really? Yeah... But, I don't know what happened really. It's a

:27:44.:27:49.

shame. It is a bit. Oh, I see. Well, it is a bit because when I was

:27:50.:27:55.

a young chef and you are training, there are certain characters that

:27:56.:27:58.

are your everything and you look up and read every word of their books

:27:59.:28:03.

and then when life doesn't quite work like that it's a bit

:28:04.:28:07.

disappointing really. Ben Stiller, you are very woman pettive aren t

:28:08.:28:17.

you? Am I? That's what I hear? Didn't Ping-Pong take over your

:28:18.:28:20.

life? Yes, there was a Ping-Pong table and a tournament developed and

:28:21.:28:24.

I got very competitive and shouldn't have been because I wasn't very

:28:25.:28:28.

good. It was frustrating to be competitive and not be good at

:28:29.:28:33.

something so yes, definitely. But then didn't you train up and decide

:28:34.:28:37.

I'm going to do this? I took some lessons, yes. Table-tennis election

:28:38.:28:42.

sons, did you? Yes, from a person who said they were a pro, yes. I am

:28:43.:28:52.

quite good at table-tennis. You were going to be a professional squash

:28:53.:28:56.

player? I thought easy was going to be until I was 14. As a junior, I

:28:57.:29:01.

was very good, yes. I didn't though there were professional squash

:29:02.:29:04.

players? At the time I was doing it in the 80s, it nearly came

:29:05.:29:09.

Overground and people got known and the national press started picking

:29:10.:29:13.

up on it and my heroes started to be like on things like A Question of

:29:14.:29:19.

Sport and grandstanded and for about five minutes squash was big then

:29:20.:29:24.

went underground again. Do do you use the ceiling also in squash? This

:29:25.:29:31.

is the reason squash was never. . There's no ceiling. You use walls.

:29:32.:29:36.

Like raquet ball? Yes, but with a smaller head and smaller ball. It's

:29:37.:29:43.

meat and drink for you? Yes. Dodge ball, you really did that? Yes, yes,

:29:44.:29:48.

a long time ago, we'd seen dodge ball and my wife was in the scene

:29:49.:29:52.

and I was playing against her in the scene and I had to, you know, nail

:29:53.:29:56.

her with the dodge ball and I, I did. Bang in the face? Yes, which

:29:57.:30:02.

you shouldn't do. I mean it wasn't, I wanted to just get it right for

:30:03.:30:08.

the shot but it was too strong. Was that a quiet drive snoem I don't

:30:09.:30:12.

think we drove home together! I've got work to do, see you back

:30:13.:30:16.

there! Moving on. A lot of cooking talk is

:30:17.:30:24.

taken out of context. It's quite innuendo-laden. If you got all the

:30:25.:30:27.

phrases that Jamie says and stuck them together... Oh, my God. You've

:30:28.:30:34.

probably seen this. So if you listen very carefully, there's visuals as

:30:35.:30:37.

well, but listen very carefully this is what you get. It's Jamie

:30:38.:30:41.

Oliver talks dirty. Hi, guys, welcome to mischief food,

:30:42.:30:48.

pick up a bone. It's not hard, just over centimetrics so it's it's not

:30:49.:30:51.

wobblings. Rub it backwards and forwards again and again and again.

:30:52.:30:55.

Not that there is a rush but you can get a sense of urgency, you can t

:30:56.:30:59.

just sit there playing around, so keep it moving. Don't want to it be

:31:00.:31:04.

wobbly. Keep tossing it off. No point in getting scared now. Rub it

:31:05.:31:12.

all over. Be careful, don't! It -- don't! It all over the place. Second

:31:13.:31:17.

important bit, my cucumber, put it full whack into the burger. Then

:31:18.:31:23.

have a look inside it. Then I'm going to put it in your mouth. Some

:31:24.:31:27.

people love it, some people hate it. Give it a try, don't turn your nose

:31:28.:31:31.

up at it. If you don't like it, you can take it out which is nice and

:31:32.:31:36.

reasonable. But let's not be precious. It doesn't really matter

:31:37.:31:39.

what it looks like. What does matter is that when you eat it, you don't

:31:40.:31:43.

get a massive chunk of cheese. Some people don't like it, some love it

:31:44.:31:47.

because they are used to it. Don't worry about it, just stick it in

:31:48.:31:52.

there and do the best job possible. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:31:53.:32:00.

Beautiful. It's music time everyone. But first, Ben you've got to go I

:32:01.:32:05.

do, yes. Sorry, I don't want to leave. What the hell are you doing?

:32:06.:32:09.

Supposed to go to a screening of our movie. Followed by a vegan dinner

:32:10.:32:14.

party. Yes. So, please... I have to answer

:32:15.:32:17.

questions afterwards, that's why I have to go. Oh, OK! I'm not just

:32:18.:32:23.

going to watch. I feel bad. I wanna stay. We've loved having you here.

:32:24.:32:27.

So please say thank you to the fabulous Mr Ben Stiller.

:32:28.:32:31.

Thank you. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

:32:32.:32:34.

OK. I love this woman's voice, probably up with of the best acts

:32:35.:32:38.

ever to come out of the X Factor. Here she is, Rebecca Ferguson!

:32:39.:32:54.

# I used to hate you so easily. # Look into your eyes so eagerly. #

:32:55.:33:12.

And where there was cold. # I wouldn't walk away. # 'Cause when

:33:13.:33:21.

there's money love is blind. # He's so blind. # But after a time. # I

:33:22.:33:32.

realized that for me to grow. # I've got to let go. # I hope life treats

:34:05.:34:10.

hope, I hope, I hope. # 'Cause after a time you realize that it ain't

:34:15.:34:27.

me. # I hope life treats you good. # I hope life treats you good. # I

:34:28.:34:33.

hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope, I hope. # Loving ourselves

:34:34.:34:42.

comes so easily. # Forgiveness was like the biggest sin to me. # And

:34:43.:34:47.

where there was war. # I wouldn t walk away. # But after a time. # I

:34:48.:34:55.

realized that for me to grow. # I've got to let go. # I hope life treats

:36:05.:36:13.

Rebecca Ferguson, everybody. Gorgeous. Come over and join me

:36:14.:36:21.

Mwah! Rebecca Ferguson. Have a seat. Hi. Hi. Jamie Oliver. Martin

:36:22.:36:27.

Freeman. Nice to meet you.

:36:28.:36:31.

I love that song. I've been playing it to death on the radio. Thank you

:36:32.:36:35.

so much for doing it. Thank you thanks for having me. Delighted to

:36:36.:36:38.

have you here. That is out now, the single? Yes. It's off the second

:36:39.:36:43.

album which we have waited a while for? I know, I was so busy. You know

:36:44.:36:48.

what though, I finished working on the last album last December and

:36:49.:36:50.

then went straight into writing this album so it seems like I've been

:36:51.:36:54.

away for quite a long time but I have been busy. I believe you, all

:36:55.:36:59.

right! I know you are not sitting at home watching telly picking your

:37:00.:37:01.

nose. All this new stuff, are you touring?

:37:02.:37:05.

Are people going to see you? I'm touring in March in the UK and I'm

:37:06.:37:09.

in Europe in April so I'm busy. In Europe in April? Yes. In the Europe?

:37:10.:37:17.

Yes. Something Sonia said years ago. Oh, which was it? Yes, when she was

:37:18.:37:24.

in the Eurovision Song Contest. I'm in the Europe. Do your Sonia

:37:25.:37:31.

impression - oh, you are doing it! Time for a story from the red chair.

:37:32.:37:38.

Let us see who is up first. Hi. You look a little tense. Relax! Relax.

:37:39.:37:44.

There's a crash mat. What is your name, Sir? Jordan. And

:37:45.:37:49.

where do you live? In London, but I'm from Yorkshire. What do you do

:37:50.:37:52.

in London? I'm a police officer Really? He's a police officer! Very

:37:53.:37:56.

good. What area of the police are you in? Are you a bobby on the beat?

:37:57.:38:00.

A detective. Seems very young to be a detective.

:38:01.:38:05.

Seems very young. You would know, of course. I would know, yes.

:38:06.:38:10.

LAUGHTER Sherlock, you know.

:38:11.:38:18.

Yeah. He looks younger than Rupert Graves. For me, he's too young to be

:38:19.:38:23.

a detective. You wouldn't cast him as a detective? Way too young. If he

:38:24.:38:28.

came round, you would say, they are not going to solve this crime.

:38:29.:38:32.

Unless the crime has taken place in a kindergarten. They stole our

:38:33.:38:36.

trampoline! Ah h. Sorry, I got distracted,

:38:37.:38:43.

Jordan. Officer Jordan, off you go with your story. Cooking a disaster,

:38:44.:38:49.

I apologise to Jamie. My wife's the worst cook ever, but I thought I'd

:38:50.:38:55.

do something adventurous, so I made sausage, mash and veg. Wow. Yeah. I

:38:56.:39:01.

was there mashing away the potato for hours, it felt like, and I

:39:02.:39:06.

couldn't get the lumps out so I thought I would put nit the food

:39:07.:39:09.

bledder thinking I would get the lumps out because that's what that

:39:10.:39:13.

does. It didn't quite come out looking like mashed potato though

:39:14.:39:17.

but I had to no choice but to serve it, at which point one of my friends

:39:18.:39:21.

finally ate the food, in fear as they were, they thought it was

:39:22.:39:24.

Chelseas sauce because it was liquid goo all over the plate.

:39:25.:39:37.

You see, we brief them beforehand and say, tell us the most amazing,

:39:38.:39:45.

most amusing thing that's ever happened in your life!

:39:46.:39:52.

Jordan's a detective. Imagine all the exciting things that happened to

:39:53.:39:56.

that man and he went with runny mash potato!

:39:57.:39:59.

LAUGHTER Wow. Wow. I usually feel sorry for

:40:00.:40:05.

the people you do that to, but that was justified. It really was. The

:40:06.:40:09.

thing that amazed me is, he had a blender.

:40:10.:40:12.

What was he doing with that? ! Must have been a gift.

:40:13.:40:17.

All right, hello. Hi. Hi. You are fine. You are fine.

:40:18.:40:21.

You could be the walker. What is your name? It's Leanne.

:40:22.:40:32.

Where do you live? In a small town called Atherstone not far from

:40:33.:40:34.

Coventry. Ah yes. What do you do there? I m a

:40:35.:40:38.

business analyst. She's a business analyst!

:40:39.:40:45.

Seriously, that's what she does Rebecca, she's a business analyst.

:40:46.:40:49.

Don't look like that! It's a valid job. You are a singer,

:40:50.:40:55.

she's a business analyst. She loves analysing business, it's what gets

:40:56.:41:01.

her up in the morning. Leanne. Delight us with your tale.

:41:02.:41:06.

Right, it's a bit embarrassing actually, I can't... Good! That s

:41:07.:41:11.

the point. Already we are on to a winner if

:41:12.:41:15.

it's better than mashed potato, I'll let you walk!

:41:16.:41:19.

When I was much younger and foolish, I was on holiday with some friends.

:41:20.:41:25.

Oh, yes. We decided one night to go skinny-dipping in the lake. Can I

:41:26.:41:30.

stop you there, already mash potato, you've surpassed. You're naked on

:41:31.:41:33.

holiday. Hurrah!

:41:34.:41:38.

So, I was so desperate to get into the lake so that people didn't see

:41:39.:41:43.

me that I ran as fast as I could, slipped over on the top step,

:41:44.:41:47.

knocked myself out and ended up getting rescued out of the lake by

:41:48.:41:53.

my friends. Wow. I told that on TV. Shall we let her

:41:54.:42:00.

walk? Yes, we'll let you walk. Go on, walk. Go on, Leanne. One more,

:42:01.:42:06.

one more. OK. Last one, here we go. Hello. Hi. What is your name? Yaz,

:42:07.:42:15.

Y-A-Z. All right, I'll write it down.

:42:16.:42:25.

LAUGHTER Where do you live, Yaz with a Z I

:42:26.:42:30.

live in Weybridge. What do you do for a living? Marketing analyst

:42:31.:42:34.

Another one, more of the analysts, they love being analysts, don't they

:42:35.:42:41.

love analysing. OK, use, yes, I got that right, it's Y-A-Z, yes. Off you

:42:42.:42:47.

go, Yaz? This is about my previous job. I had recently started this job

:42:48.:42:52.

and we had this Christmas dinner and there was a huge table and yeah we

:42:53.:43:00.

just sat mixed teams and the sales director, top man, just was sitting

:43:01.:43:05.

next to me and I was like, oh, this is a good opportunity to show off.

:43:06.:43:10.

Anyway, so they were talking about work, you know, they were talking

:43:11.:43:13.

about promotions and everything and I just want to show myself that I

:43:14.:43:16.

know what they are talking about... Glad you did!

:43:17.:43:23.

LAUGHTER Yeah, and then, we get a promotion called one month free so

:43:24.:43:27.

we give customers one month free product. So I turned around to the

:43:28.:43:32.

sales director and said, do you want one night stand instead of one month

:43:33.:43:37.

free? My God. Thank you, Yaz. Well done,

:43:38.:43:42.

everyone. If you would like to join us on the sofa, have a goo, you can
