Something for everyone on my sofa tonight. | 0:00:49 | 0:00:53 | |
Yes, my favourite TV detective, DCI Vera herself, | 0:00:53 | 0:00:56 | |
Brenda Blethyn is here! | 0:00:56 | 0:00:59 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:00:59 | 0:01:01 | |
Fashion icon Jean Paul Gaultier is on the show! | 0:01:01 | 0:01:07 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
I know. That's what you wore! | 0:01:10 | 0:01:13 | |
And star of Episodes and Green Wing, | 0:01:13 | 0:01:15 | |
the hilarious Stephen Mangan is here! | 0:01:15 | 0:01:16 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Plus, ladies and gentleman, | 0:01:19 | 0:01:23 | |
a true showbiz legend, performing one of his greatest hits, | 0:01:23 | 0:01:26 | |
He not only writes the songs, he sings them as well, | 0:01:26 | 0:01:29 | |
it is Mr Barry Manilow! On this show! | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
I know! | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Lovely. | 0:01:39 | 0:01:41 | |
Of course, I'll be talking to Jean Paul Gaultier about the infamous | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
conical bra he designed for Madonna. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:47 | |
Do you know what, it looks good on Madonna, doesn't it? | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
Less good on other women. | 0:01:50 | 0:01:53 | |
That's a hard one to wear. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:58 | |
The great thing about fashion designers like Jean Paul is | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
that they're full of brilliant, simple ideas | 0:02:01 | 0:02:04 | |
for everyday things to wear, chilling out at home... | 0:02:04 | 0:02:07 | |
Going to the office... | 0:02:08 | 0:02:10 | |
A spot of gardening, you know. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:13 | |
Just throw it in the washing machine. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
Back in the '90s, Jean Paul also championed the kilt. | 0:02:16 | 0:02:19 | |
There he is in his kilt. Yeah, and everyone was wearing them. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
Looking good, Barry Manilow! | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
Tell you. There he is at the start of the gig. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:30 | |
Here he is at the end. Oh! | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
I can see his Copacabana! | 0:02:32 | 0:02:36 | |
Barry and Brenda are both such icons. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Barry of Las Vegas, and, thanks to Vera, Brenda of Newcastle. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:43 | |
They're not so different. Vegas has hotels. | 0:02:43 | 0:02:46 | |
So does Newcastle. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
Vegas has gambling. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:52 | |
So does Newcastle. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:54 | |
Vegas has scantily clad singers. | 0:02:54 | 0:02:58 | |
And so does Newcastle. | 0:02:58 | 0:03:00 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:00 | 0:03:05 | |
I'll also be chatting to Stephen Mangan about his new role as Postman Pat. | 0:03:05 | 0:03:09 | |
Someone close to Postman Pat is hell bent on world domination. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:14 | |
Don't want to give away any spoilers, | 0:03:14 | 0:03:17 | |
but here's Pat's black and white cat. | 0:03:17 | 0:03:19 | |
That's all coming up later, | 0:03:22 | 0:03:24 | |
plus more of your stories in the red chair. | 0:03:24 | 0:03:26 | |
Let's get some guests on. | 0:03:26 | 0:03:27 | |
Later, I'll be having chat and music from Barry Manilow! | 0:03:27 | 0:03:30 | |
First, it's Stephen Mangan. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
It's Jean Paul Gaultier! | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
Asseyez-vous! | 0:03:51 | 0:03:53 | |
And it's time to say "aloe Vera" - it's Brenda Blethyn! | 0:03:53 | 0:03:58 | |
Beautiful. Beautiful. Hello, my darling. | 0:03:58 | 0:04:01 | |
Welcome all. Lovely to see you all. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:11 | |
Now, Jean Paul, if at any moment you are lost in the programme | 0:04:11 | 0:04:16 | |
or aren't following things, Brenda Blethyn speaks French fluently. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-Absolument. -Perfect. | 0:04:20 | 0:04:23 | |
-You do, don't you? -No! | 0:04:23 | 0:04:25 | |
-You do a bit! -I do a bit! I'm just learning. | 0:04:25 | 0:04:30 | |
I found this wonderful teacher in Ramsgate and she's teaching me. | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
I'm making a film entirely in French at the end of the year. My God. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:38 | |
You have to learn quickly, no? | 0:04:38 | 0:04:40 | |
Yes, yes. Keep talking to me. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:43 | |
Oui... | 0:04:43 | 0:04:46 | |
It starts well. "Oui" is already there. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:52 | |
Stephen, you've done a French accent, in Chunky Monkey? | 0:04:52 | 0:04:55 | |
Yes, with Alison Steadman I played a French cabaret singer. | 0:04:55 | 0:04:59 | |
He was a bit of a love God, he thought he was a love God. | 0:04:59 | 0:05:03 | |
French is tough. It's a tough accent to do. | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
I just mumbled a lot and hoped I got away with it. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
"You are so beautiful." That sort of thing. Oui, oui, oui. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
I understand better, to be honest. | 0:05:13 | 0:05:16 | |
Brenda, were you worried when you heard Jean Paul was on the show? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:23 | |
-Of course. -I think you look nice. | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
She looks fabulous. I love the jewellery. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
-Thank you. -Very elegant, classy. -Stephen? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:33 | |
Fabulous, I love the blue and I love the shoes. | 0:05:33 | 0:05:36 | |
Shiny, look at myself. | 0:05:36 | 0:05:38 | |
They are superb. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:41 | |
Of the four of us, you look like you made the least effort. | 0:05:41 | 0:05:44 | |
I'm feeling like we needn't have bothered. | 0:05:46 | 0:05:49 | |
"Jean Paul is coming... Really?" | 0:05:49 | 0:05:52 | |
-Stephen, do you know who you are wearing? -This is Spencer Hart. | 0:05:52 | 0:05:56 | |
I did catch a look in the mirror on the way in | 0:05:56 | 0:05:58 | |
and it looks like I work for Lufthansa. | 0:05:58 | 0:06:01 | |
I should be serving drinks. | 0:06:01 | 0:06:03 | |
I thought it was a nod to Postman Pat. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:06 | |
It's the Royal Mail blue. | 0:06:06 | 0:06:07 | |
It has a bit of Pat about it. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Total fluke, but it does, now you say that. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
I thought it was good! | 0:06:12 | 0:06:13 | |
I don't want to put you on the spot, Jean Paul, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:16 | |
but if you were going to design a costume | 0:06:16 | 0:06:20 | |
for, say, a high-ranking, powerful police detective, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
a female detective, no nonsense attitude, great mind, | 0:06:22 | 0:06:26 | |
how are you seeing her? | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
-What sort of outfit? -A detective? -Yes, very powerful, very clever. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
No nonsense. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:33 | |
I should like to make like a version, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:36 | |
like a feminine version of Sherlock Holmes image, no? | 0:06:36 | 0:06:41 | |
-Who? -Sherlock Holmes. | 0:06:41 | 0:06:43 | |
He's a very famous detective. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:45 | |
Corsetry, Sherlock Holmes type of... | 0:06:45 | 0:06:47 | |
Or something about a trench coat. | 0:06:47 | 0:06:51 | |
-This may help you. -Trench coat. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:53 | |
Did you, in your mind's eye, see this at all? | 0:06:53 | 0:06:56 | |
Nothing to change. Perfect. | 0:07:00 | 0:07:04 | |
-Excellent. Perfect detective. -Where did you find that hat? | 0:07:04 | 0:07:06 | |
I have never seen the like. | 0:07:06 | 0:07:09 | |
It looks like the sort of thing you get to go on safari | 0:07:09 | 0:07:12 | |
and even then you don't wear it. | 0:07:12 | 0:07:14 | |
I found it in a fishing shop in Newcastle. | 0:07:15 | 0:07:19 | |
It is all your own work? | 0:07:19 | 0:07:22 | |
-Yeah. That hat is. -Good stylist. | 0:07:22 | 0:07:24 | |
I thought I'd lost it in the middle of the last series. | 0:07:24 | 0:07:27 | |
There were ructions trying to find it. | 0:07:27 | 0:07:29 | |
We'd already shot some scenes with it on, so we had to find it. | 0:07:29 | 0:07:33 | |
We did find it, | 0:07:33 | 0:07:35 | |
but meanwhile, I'd bought another four. Just to be on the safe side. | 0:07:35 | 0:07:40 | |
You wouldn't have thought that outfit was high fashion in any way. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
But then your friend... | 0:07:44 | 0:07:45 | |
Yeah, he was on a theatre tour in Italy | 0:07:45 | 0:07:48 | |
and there was a whole window display. | 0:07:48 | 0:07:51 | |
It was like Vera standing in the window. | 0:07:51 | 0:07:53 | |
He took a picture of this. | 0:07:53 | 0:07:55 | |
It's like you're a trendsetter. | 0:07:55 | 0:07:58 | |
You've inspired designers' collections. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
-"We've gone Vera." -Are you wearing Vera? | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
Currently on Sundays, ITV at 8pm, I love this show. | 0:08:06 | 0:08:10 | |
It's one of those shows you just, "Oh, good, that's on." | 0:08:10 | 0:08:15 | |
Is it true, when you were reading the script, | 0:08:15 | 0:08:17 | |
you were waiting for the part you were playing to show up? | 0:08:17 | 0:08:20 | |
Yeah, I didn't know, from the novels of Ann Cleeves, | 0:08:20 | 0:08:22 | |
I didn't know her work. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:24 | |
I hadn't got a script yet, I rushed out and got the books. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
I was halfway through before this character came in. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:30 | |
I thought, where is she? It was a tiny part. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:33 | |
Then it says, "The door of the church opened and in lumbered | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
"the scruffiest woman ever, with carrier bags, like a bag lady. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
"She was huge." I thought, that can't be her. | 0:08:41 | 0:08:45 | |
I thought they're offering me like a Jane Tennyson. | 0:08:47 | 0:08:50 | |
Why have they thought of me for this part? It was a bit shocking. | 0:08:50 | 0:08:56 | |
Then I read on and I loved the character. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
Obviously, because of the books, that's why it's in Newcastle. | 0:08:58 | 0:09:02 | |
-Did you think, Geordie, no problem, Brenda can do that? -No. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:07 | |
I never think that. I had to work at it. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
-You hadn't done it before? -No. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
Can you give Jean Paul a bit of Geordie. | 0:09:11 | 0:09:14 | |
You have to coach me. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:16 | |
-DCI... -DCI. | 0:09:16 | 0:09:18 | |
Vera Stanhope. | 0:09:18 | 0:09:19 | |
-Huh? -Vera. | 0:09:19 | 0:09:21 | |
-Dera. -Vera. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
-Dera. -Vera! | 0:09:23 | 0:09:24 | |
Vera. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:26 | |
-Stanhope. -Stanhope. | 0:09:26 | 0:09:29 | |
Let's just applaud that and say it was very good. | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:09:34 | 0:09:35 | |
Let's hear Brenda in action. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
This is a clip from this Sunday's episode of Vera. | 0:09:40 | 0:09:45 | |
Right, door knocking round the parish, house to house, pub, | 0:09:45 | 0:09:49 | |
Post Office, if they've still got one. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:51 | |
All the usual standard questions, did they know him, | 0:09:51 | 0:09:54 | |
what did he do, and when did you last see him? | 0:09:54 | 0:09:57 | |
-At this stage, let's say missing. -Village folk will believe anything. | 0:09:57 | 0:10:00 | |
He's right. They'll all know. | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Here we go. Uses of hair. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:04 | |
Voodoo, wig making. | 0:10:04 | 0:10:05 | |
Crop protection, acts as a repellent. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:08 | |
Explains a lot, our Ken. | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
Against deer. They won't go near anything that smells of people. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:13 | |
If hair repels them and fodder attracts, | 0:10:15 | 0:10:19 | |
confuse the beast, you've got him where you want him, right? | 0:10:19 | 0:10:23 | |
With me. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:25 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:25 | 0:10:28 | |
That's so beautiful. That part of the world is gorgeous. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
How did they make your hair look that bad? | 0:10:36 | 0:10:39 | |
Well, actually, it shouldn't really look that bad. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:42 | |
I made a film in New Mexico and I had my hair bleached white for it. | 0:10:42 | 0:10:48 | |
And it all broke off. It started snapping. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:52 | |
So when it was dyed... It's been dyed, | 0:10:52 | 0:10:55 | |
because I start series five in a couple of weeks. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:59 | |
But it kept snapping off. | 0:10:59 | 0:11:01 | |
So it looked like a rat had been gnawing it. | 0:11:01 | 0:11:04 | |
Now, we know how good Brenda is at accents. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:08 | |
Your American accent, we heard that in a River Runs Through it, | 0:11:08 | 0:11:11 | |
which was flawless, with Brad Pitt, no less. | 0:11:11 | 0:11:15 | |
Films are fake but this really was filmed in the wilderness in America. | 0:11:15 | 0:11:21 | |
Yeah, it was in Montana. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:23 | |
Didn't you have wildlife encounters? | 0:11:23 | 0:11:26 | |
Oh, I tell you what, there was one time me and the make-up department | 0:11:26 | 0:11:30 | |
went for a walk up into the mountain into the wilderness, | 0:11:30 | 0:11:34 | |
in the mountain, and there was not another soul for miles. | 0:11:34 | 0:11:38 | |
We drove to the bottom of the mountain and walked up. | 0:11:38 | 0:11:41 | |
Halfway up, we had walked for an hour-and-a-half, | 0:11:41 | 0:11:44 | |
and I was getting a bit puffed. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:46 | |
I said, "I'll tell you what, I'll sit here and wait on this log | 0:11:46 | 0:11:51 | |
"and wait for you to come back." | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
They said, "We'll be 45 minutes, no more." | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
I kicked a log, made sure there were no snakes under it. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:59 | |
I sat down. It was so beautiful, | 0:11:59 | 0:12:02 | |
just me and nature. | 0:12:02 | 0:12:04 | |
It was beautiful. | 0:12:04 | 0:12:06 | |
I thought, I'll look in the brochure. There was an insert | 0:12:06 | 0:12:10 | |
in the brochure. It said, | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
"Ladies, attention, under no circumstances, | 0:12:13 | 0:12:16 | |
"venture into this area if you are menstruating | 0:12:16 | 0:12:21 | |
"because of the bears..." | 0:12:21 | 0:12:25 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:12:28 | 0:12:32 | |
That was the longest 45 minutes! | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
I thought they would come back and find my T-shirt. | 0:12:41 | 0:12:45 | |
I was so scared. | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
-But no bears. -No, there were loads of bears. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:52 | |
They weren't attracted to you? | 0:12:52 | 0:12:54 | |
They're attracted to... | 0:12:54 | 0:12:55 | |
No! I get it! | 0:12:55 | 0:12:58 | |
I understood the brochure, Brenda. | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
You survived, that's the main thing. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:10 | |
It wasn't all bad because you got to be directed by Robert Redford. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:13 | |
Apparently, the first meeting with him didn't go that well? | 0:13:13 | 0:13:17 | |
I didn't audition for it. Somebody else saw me. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
I first saw him on set. I turned up on location | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
and saw him coming out of a trailer and he went, "Brenda!" | 0:13:23 | 0:13:27 | |
I thought, "Oh, it's Robert Redford." | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
He came over and gave me a big hug and nearly winded me. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:34 | |
And said, "Let's talk about this character." | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
Went inside his trailer, he said, ""Now this woman, she works hard. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
"She knows work and if things get tough, she just, she just..." | 0:13:40 | 0:13:46 | |
I said, "Gets on with it." He said, "Excuse me?" | 0:13:46 | 0:13:50 | |
I said, "She just gets on with it." | 0:13:50 | 0:13:53 | |
He said, "Oh, yeah, yeah." | 0:13:53 | 0:13:55 | |
He thought I said, "Oh, get on with it!" | 0:13:55 | 0:13:59 | |
Yakety yak, yak. | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
"I've got bears to meet." | 0:14:07 | 0:14:09 | |
Because, Jean Paul Gaultier, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
you had a bizarre meeting with the diminutive pop star Prince | 0:14:13 | 0:14:17 | |
when you were... was it the Fifth Element? | 0:14:17 | 0:14:20 | |
You were designing costumes. He was supposed to be in it. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
It was in Paris, he was coming for a show. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
He phoned and says he would like to come | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
because he was supposed to play the role that did... | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
Chris Tucker. Get on with it. | 0:14:30 | 0:14:33 | |
He was supposed to do that role. | 0:14:36 | 0:14:38 | |
He arrived, Prince, with his bodyguard and that's it. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:42 | |
I say, "Hello, Prince, how are you? Welcome to Paris." | 0:14:42 | 0:14:45 | |
Hmm, mmm. Turning around. | 0:14:45 | 0:14:48 | |
He had these big, big high heels like that. Very elegant, in some way. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
He looked and I say, "Hello, I show you the clothes," because nobody saw. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
I thought maybe he wants me to present him myself. So if he likes. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:04 | |
I start, and I arrive to one, it was a sketch. | 0:15:04 | 0:15:10 | |
It was done like for him because it was quite extravagant. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
I love him also to be like that. So like fishnet, all fishnet. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:16 | |
Like total suit in fishnet, with some hair, curly hair, like not rasta, | 0:15:16 | 0:15:22 | |
but like afro hair, here and here and here, | 0:15:22 | 0:15:27 | |
and I'm explaining, "Like hair here and here and here. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:31 | |
"It's made like that. Even like you have a faux-cul there..." | 0:15:31 | 0:15:36 | |
Alors... | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
"Make something like that." I said, "Yes, like a faux-cul." | 0:15:38 | 0:15:42 | |
He said three or four words and then he left. | 0:15:44 | 0:15:48 | |
After that, it was quite strange, the situation. | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
After, he received a phone call, like from Prince, | 0:15:51 | 0:15:54 | |
saying that he didn't like so much... | 0:15:54 | 0:15:56 | |
"It was too gay," the clothes, | 0:15:56 | 0:15:58 | |
because there was something like "fuck you." | 0:15:58 | 0:16:00 | |
He thought that I said... | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
like "fuck you," you know? He thought that I wanted to fuck him or whatever. | 0:16:04 | 0:16:10 | |
So that was it. A big mistake, a big faux pas. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:14 | |
But I still don't... | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
But Jean Paul, what were you saying? | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
It's my accent! I'm sorry, but a faux-cul. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:26 | |
It's something like a pompadour on Marie Antoinette. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
I see! And while we're talking about meeting famous people, | 0:16:31 | 0:16:35 | |
Stephen Mangan, you got to meet Robert De Niro. | 0:16:35 | 0:16:38 | |
-Yes. -In New York? -At the Tribeca Film Festival. | 0:16:38 | 0:16:41 | |
A couple of times in my life, I've seen people I really admire | 0:16:41 | 0:16:44 | |
and not gone over to say hello but I thought I had to say hello, | 0:16:44 | 0:16:47 | |
so I sort of steeled myself. I'm really nervous. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:50 | |
And I walked up to him and I said, "Hello, I'm Robert De Niro." | 0:16:50 | 0:16:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:16:54 | 0:16:57 | |
And he said, "No, I'm Robert De Niro." | 0:17:03 | 0:17:07 | |
I said, "Sorry, you're Robert De Niro," | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |
and I left, that was it. | 0:17:09 | 0:17:11 | |
Blew it. | 0:17:11 | 0:17:13 | |
But you can see how that would happen. | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
Your brain goes to scramble. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
And talking about meeting famous people, Brenda Blethyn is an OBE. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:24 | |
-Who did you meet when you got the OBE? -Prince Charles. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:28 | |
-Who did you bring? -I took my old aunt. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
She was about 90 at the time. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
What a lovely thing to do. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
I said, "Do you want to come to Buckingham Palace with me?" | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
She said, "Oh, yes. Will I have to wear..." | 0:17:38 | 0:17:41 | |
I thought she was going to say "a hat." | 0:17:41 | 0:17:43 | |
"Will I have to wear my teeth?" | 0:17:43 | 0:17:47 | |
I said, "Not if you don't want to! | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
"But it will be a long day. I'll have to take the wheelchair. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:54 | |
"You'll get tired walking around." | 0:17:54 | 0:17:56 | |
She said, "All right." And we turned up, and when we got there, | 0:17:56 | 0:18:01 | |
they said because she was in a wheelchair, | 0:18:01 | 0:18:04 | |
she could go right to the front. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:05 | |
So she was wheeled by this bloke all done up, right to the front. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:10 | |
And when the trumpet fanfare started for the entrance of royalty, | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
Auntie Fran shot out of that chair and stood to attention! | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
"Sit down! Sit down" | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
They'll think you've come up here on false pretences! | 0:18:26 | 0:18:30 | |
Did Prince Charles know you? | 0:18:33 | 0:18:36 | |
I had met him before. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:38 | |
-I do stuff for the Prince's Trust. -Old friends! | 0:18:38 | 0:18:42 | |
Showbiz mates. | 0:18:42 | 0:18:45 | |
Jean Paul, you are slightly obsessed by the British royal family? | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
You seem to like the British royal family. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:51 | |
Yes, I love them, definitely. I think they are fabulous. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
In France, we are not educated with the royal family, | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
because we killed them, you know? | 0:18:57 | 0:18:59 | |
It's very exotic and I love it! I think it's fabulous. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:05 | |
The fact that at the same time we are fascinated, we killed them, | 0:19:05 | 0:19:11 | |
but after we took an emperor as well. Napoleon. | 0:19:11 | 0:19:16 | |
So it is the stupidity of the French. | 0:19:16 | 0:19:18 | |
I'm part of that stupidity. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
We hate them and love them. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
We admire them in England, but they have to stay in England. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:25 | |
They are fabulous, and love them. | 0:19:27 | 0:19:29 | |
I love the Queen Mother, how she was dressed, the hat. | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
I have a fixation, a fetishism about the hat of the Queen Mother. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
But the opening of your big exhibition here in London, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:42 | |
is this supposed to be the Queen? | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
Yes... | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
She looks so tiny. | 0:19:47 | 0:19:49 | |
Because I am very tall! | 0:19:49 | 0:19:52 | |
I have changed a little of the look. | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
She is wearing a white motorbike jacket, like a shawl. | 0:19:55 | 0:20:02 | |
She was quite nice in leather with the white mink. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:06 | |
But you know she went in a helicopter for the Olympics, | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
so she can take a bike. | 0:20:09 | 0:20:11 | |
Yes. But listen, this exhibition, it is fantastic. I've seen it. | 0:20:11 | 0:20:16 | |
I really, really enjoyed it. It's called The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier | 0:20:16 | 0:20:19 | |
from the Sidewalk to the Catwalk | 0:20:19 | 0:20:21 | |
and it's here in London at the Barbican | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
until 25th August. | 0:20:23 | 0:20:25 | |
-Then it continues around the world, no? -Yeah. -Yeah, yeah. Very good. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:30 | |
Now, I didn't quite know what to expect. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:32 | |
You think an exhibition of clothes will slightly be like posh shopping. | 0:20:32 | 0:20:36 | |
-But it's so much more than that. -Yeah. Yeah. -Things like... | 0:20:36 | 0:20:40 | |
This is so special that they've lent us this, | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
this is your own teddy bear... | 0:20:43 | 0:20:45 | |
-Yes. My first muse. -..which is very fragile. -Tres. | 0:20:45 | 0:20:51 | |
Now, they very kindly lent it from the exhibition, | 0:20:51 | 0:20:53 | |
so if you saw the exhibition today, you didn't see this. Sorry. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
-We had it. -It's a real one. -What's the name of your teddy bear? | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
-Nana. -Nana. -It's a little monster. | 0:21:00 | 0:21:03 | |
-My little monster. -Here is Nana. | 0:21:03 | 0:21:07 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:07 | 0:21:10 | |
I explain. I explain why. | 0:21:10 | 0:21:11 | |
So, it was before Madonna having the cone bra. You know why? | 0:21:11 | 0:21:15 | |
Because I wanted to have a doll and to dress a doll. | 0:21:15 | 0:21:19 | |
My parents said that for a boy, it was not good to have a doll. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:22 | |
So I took my little teddy bear and tried to make it like a doll. | 0:21:22 | 0:21:27 | |
So it's a kind of transvestite... | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
-And this is the original cone bra? -It is the original cone bra. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
My first muse. I put him make up, like... | 0:21:34 | 0:21:38 | |
-It's adorable. -Those eyebrows... -His eyebrows. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:42 | |
-The shade of colour on here is called... -Has he dyed his hair? | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
Yes. I dyed the hair. Exactly. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:47 | |
Sometimes it was... But it was not going well, the black. | 0:21:47 | 0:21:49 | |
-A little lipstick. -You know what is this here? It's an operation. | 0:21:49 | 0:21:54 | |
It was a long time ago, it was the first operation, | 0:21:54 | 0:21:57 | |
open-heart, Professor Barnard in Canada. | 0:21:57 | 0:22:00 | |
I wanted to do the same thing. | 0:22:00 | 0:22:02 | |
But he has the cone bra, I couldn't. So I made it here. | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
It was my version, you know. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
-How old is this bear? -He must be, like... | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
a little younger than me, so he must be like 50, 50 something, 56. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:20 | |
Wow. Looking terrible. | 0:22:20 | 0:22:22 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
You know, it's already... Bon, bon. | 0:22:24 | 0:22:27 | |
Does Madonna know that her bra was first modelled on this? | 0:22:27 | 0:22:31 | |
No, she thinks that it was done only for her. But no, I did it before. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
-I think she would have loved it. -I should put this down. | 0:22:37 | 0:22:40 | |
She would not have appreciated it. | 0:22:40 | 0:22:42 | |
She'll say, "I will look like that? No." | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
-Oh, dear. I'm putting Nana down. -It's very fragile. -Yes. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:48 | |
-Very, very fragile. -But he is the star of the show. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
-And thank you very much... -Has he got a name? -Nana. | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
-Nana. -Nana. It was from a movie, of the '40s, '50s, | 0:22:54 | 0:22:59 | |
she was like a heroine. | 0:22:59 | 0:23:01 | |
A little prostitute. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:02 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:23:02 | 0:23:05 | |
-He has been busy. -Et bon. | 0:23:05 | 0:23:09 | |
So, yeah. So, the Madonna thing, you worked together, | 0:23:09 | 0:23:12 | |
-you got her in the costumes and everything. -Yep. -But then I'd forgotten... | 0:23:12 | 0:23:15 | |
This picture was everywhere at the time, but I'd forgotten | 0:23:15 | 0:23:18 | |
this picture until you were coming on. | 0:23:18 | 0:23:19 | |
How do you get Madonna to do this? Cos that's real. | 0:23:19 | 0:23:23 | |
-That's all Madonna. -Please, I didn't push her to do that. | 0:23:23 | 0:23:28 | |
-I didn't oblige her. She did it by herself. -OK. | 0:23:28 | 0:23:30 | |
I must say that the dress, I did it, | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
but the idea to take off the jacket, it's her idea. | 0:23:32 | 0:23:37 | |
-She's a very good director. -She wears it well. She wears it well. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:41 | |
Everything is real. | 0:23:41 | 0:23:44 | |
Oh, yes. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
Now... | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
-We will not say names but...voila. -That was then. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:55 | |
Now, actors do find themselves in these intimate situations. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
Weren't you filmed in a bath, Brenda? | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Oh. Yes. | 0:24:03 | 0:24:04 | |
How do you know that? | 0:24:06 | 0:24:08 | |
I was in a film for the BBC called Floating Off. It was about... | 0:24:08 | 0:24:12 | |
It was about selling a peer on the stock market | 0:24:14 | 0:24:19 | |
and there was one scene where I was in a bath, like a bubble bath, | 0:24:19 | 0:24:24 | |
and I thought I was supposed to get up, out of the bath. | 0:24:24 | 0:24:29 | |
The camera's like this height looking at me in the bath | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
and I stood up... | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
so there was a gasp... | 0:24:35 | 0:24:39 | |
from the entire studio and then a silence. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
And I thought, "Nobody's said cut. What's going on?" | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
I was covered in bubbles... | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
and the camera was right here. | 0:24:49 | 0:24:51 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:24:51 | 0:24:53 | |
-Bit embarrassing. -Bit embarrassing, yes. Does that film exist somewhere? | 0:24:53 | 0:24:57 | |
Somewhere, yes. | 0:24:57 | 0:24:59 | |
Stephen, this is quite shocking. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:01 | |
-What's the name of this play? Birthday? -Birthday, yeah. | 0:25:01 | 0:25:04 | |
This is Stephen Mangan in Birthday. | 0:25:04 | 0:25:07 | |
LAUGHTER AND GROANING | 0:25:07 | 0:25:10 | |
What? What's wrong with that? | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
It's not as bad as it seems, ladies and gentlemen. | 0:25:13 | 0:25:16 | |
I know you just think you've seen Stephen Mangan naked, | 0:25:16 | 0:25:18 | |
but explain why we haven't. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:19 | |
There's a man over there who looks like he's seen a ghost. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:23 | |
Shocked and appalled. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
Yeah, I play a pregnant man. | 0:25:26 | 0:25:28 | |
This was last year at the Royal Court. I played a pregnant man | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
and they made a prosthetic, full body costume. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:35 | |
The Dougie-like breasts, | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
the pregnant belly and a prosthetic penis. | 0:25:37 | 0:25:41 | |
I mean... It's... | 0:25:41 | 0:25:43 | |
Can I just say, by the way, Stephen brought this picture? | 0:25:43 | 0:25:47 | |
We didn't have this picture. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:49 | |
He decided we should see it. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:51 | |
I bring it with me everywhere. | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
-Yeah, my wife's not keen on that photo. -Is it on the piano at home? | 0:25:54 | 0:25:59 | |
On the front door. At least they know what they're getting. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
-Do you sign it for fans? -People write in. Postman Pat fans... | 0:26:02 | 0:26:06 | |
-..will be getting that. -Children rocking and sobbing. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:11 | |
-But did audiences realise that it was prosthetic? -They... Well... | 0:26:13 | 0:26:18 | |
I mean, they see me give birth in the play. That was what happened. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:22 | |
-OK. -We wanted to show the indignities of giving birth, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
but it happening to a man and people might realise how unpleasant it is. At one point, I have to try and pee | 0:26:25 | 0:26:30 | |
in front of a lot of other people. | 0:26:30 | 0:26:32 | |
We thought, "Well, we've got this prosthetic penis, let's get it out." | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
We thought, "If people think it's fake, they'll laugh. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:38 | |
"If they think it's real, they won't." | 0:26:38 | 0:26:41 | |
It was the quietest... | 0:26:41 | 0:26:44 | |
I've ever heard 600 people in a theatre to be. | 0:26:44 | 0:26:47 | |
Just lots of jaws... People looking away in disgust. | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |
A couple of people tutting. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
And I have to stand there and pretend to try and pee for a while. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
It went on. It was about 90 seconds of... | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
-I didn't get it out after that. -No. -Kept it in its cage. -Keep it away. | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
Now, how to follow that? Well, I know. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
Let's talk about Stephen Mangan's new movie, Postman Pat. | 0:27:04 | 0:27:08 | |
CHEERING | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
The toddlers have sat through quite a lot to get to this bit. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:13 | |
There's a lot of four-year-olds going, "Finally!" | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
-"Yakety yak, fashion." -Whatever. -"Yakety yak, prosthetic penis. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:21 | |
"Yakety yak... | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
"Finally, we get to my movie." | 0:27:23 | 0:27:26 | |
Yep. This is the target audience. | 0:27:29 | 0:27:32 | |
It's out on 23rd May. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
Your own children must be so geeked, cos how old are your kids? | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
-I've got two boys. Six and three. -This is perfect for them. | 0:27:38 | 0:27:41 | |
Perfect age. I was so excited when I got the job. I rushed home. | 0:27:41 | 0:27:43 | |
I said, "I'm Postman Pat!" | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
"No, you're not, Dad. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
"That's Postman Pat. You're not Postman Pat." | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
I'm very excited that they're going to see I am actually Postman Pat. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
In fact, we went to the Lego movie recently | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
and there was a trailer for Postman Pat | 0:27:55 | 0:27:57 | |
and during the trailer it said, "Starring Stephen Mangan," | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
in letters about 60-foot wide. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
The two of them were like that... | 0:28:02 | 0:28:04 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:28:04 | 0:28:06 | |
..in their seats. So I'm excited, yeah. | 0:28:06 | 0:28:09 | |
Now, in case any toddlers are listening, we don't want | 0:28:09 | 0:28:11 | |
-any plot spoilers. Don't ruin it for everyone. -OK. | 0:28:11 | 0:28:15 | |
But give us a taste of what happens to Postman Pat. | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
Well, it's hard cos Postman Pat, in five-minute sections, it's one thing. | 0:28:18 | 0:28:21 | |
-But you've got to go on an emotional journey over an hour and a half. -Yes. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:25 | |
He's the nicest character ever created. | 0:28:25 | 0:28:27 | |
-I mean, he hasn't got a nasty bone in his body. -Or indeed any bones. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:30 | |
Any bones! | 0:28:30 | 0:28:32 | |
So... | 0:28:35 | 0:28:36 | |
So, he's seduced by fame and glamour. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:40 | |
There's troubles, there's troubles with his wife. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:43 | |
He falls out with his kids | 0:28:43 | 0:28:45 | |
and there's a bit of argy-bargy with Jess. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:47 | |
-AUDIENCE GASPS -No! -The gasps! | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
It turns out he has an amazingly, jaw-droppingly good singing voice. | 0:28:51 | 0:28:57 | |
-Wow. -A bit of like a Susan Boyle. | 0:28:57 | 0:28:58 | |
He goes on a talent show | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
that's run by a man called Simon Cowbell. | 0:29:01 | 0:29:04 | |
-Are you making this up? -This is the plot. -It's improv. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:10 | |
Brenda's like, "No, no, but seriously, what happens?" | 0:29:10 | 0:29:14 | |
-And that's the story, yeah, he's seduced by fame. -Wow. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
-Auntie Fran used to do her exercises to Postman Pat. -Did she? -Yeah. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:21 | |
Sitting in the armchair. | 0:29:21 | 0:29:22 | |
# Postman Pat, Postman Pat | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
# Postman Pat is a very nice chap. # | 0:29:25 | 0:29:28 | |
It's the right sort of rhythm, isn't it? | 0:29:28 | 0:29:30 | |
Jean Paul, has Postman Pat made the journey across the Channel? | 0:29:30 | 0:29:34 | |
No. | 0:29:34 | 0:29:35 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:29:35 | 0:29:37 | |
You just looked a bit blank. I thought, "He's not following this, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:40 | |
"is he? He's following this." | 0:29:40 | 0:29:42 | |
Let's have a clip. Now... | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
this is complicated. Postman Pat... | 0:29:45 | 0:29:47 | |
-He does go to the dark side a little bit. -Yes, he does. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
There's also the Patbot which is a robot Postman Pat | 0:29:51 | 0:29:55 | |
which was introduced by an scrupulous character in the film. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
I don't why I'm telling you this. | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
This is the clip and if you are of a nervous disposition, be warned. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:05 | |
This is Postman Pat trying to escape | 0:30:05 | 0:30:09 | |
the dreaded Patbots. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
More Patbots. Carbuncle isn't taking any chances. | 0:30:14 | 0:30:17 | |
What do we do now, Jess? We have to get inside. | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
JESS MEOWS | 0:30:19 | 0:30:21 | |
Manoeuvre 17. | 0:30:22 | 0:30:24 | |
Hurry, Jess! Hurry! | 0:30:27 | 0:30:28 | |
Here they come, Jess. | 0:30:37 | 0:30:39 | |
What was that? | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
-Oh, my God. -That's terrifying. -Terrifying. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
That's for children?! Children are going to watch that? | 0:30:52 | 0:30:55 | |
-My children will never sleep again. -Oh, dear. | 0:30:55 | 0:30:58 | |
Now, listen, it is time to meet our singing guest tonight. | 0:30:58 | 0:31:02 | |
This man really is one of the all-time musical greats. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:06 | |
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
Mr Barry Manilow. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:11 | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE | 0:31:11 | 0:31:14 | |
Sit down. Barry Manilow, everybody! | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
Barry Manilow's here! Hello. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:39 | |
Always a pleasure, never a chore. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:41 | |
I've been enjoying the show down in the dressing room. | 0:31:41 | 0:31:43 | |
-You guys are great. -And we have Mr Jean Paul Gaultier on the couch now. | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
-I know you love fashion. -Are you going to bring up that picture? | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
Well, there's many pictures, in fairness, Barry. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
There was a wide selection to choose from. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
That... I got in such trouble with that Copacabana jacket. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
That's what I was going to say. The Copacabana jacket. Look at it! | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
-I knew he was going to do that. -Yeah, but it's a fabulous jacket. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
-Wonderful. -It's truly great. Honestly, I love it. | 0:32:06 | 0:32:09 | |
-I got in such trouble with that. -No, it's great. | 0:32:09 | 0:32:11 | |
It's Copacabana, this fun, up-tempo, silly song. | 0:32:11 | 0:32:14 | |
I thought, "How am I going to stand there and sing it seriously?" | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
So, I had them make me a silly Ricky Ricardo rumba shirt. | 0:32:17 | 0:32:21 | |
Did I ever tell you the story about the Smithsonian? | 0:32:21 | 0:32:24 | |
-The Smithsonian Institute? -Yeah. | 0:32:24 | 0:32:25 | |
They asked me... They wanted to put it at the Smithsonian. | 0:32:25 | 0:32:28 | |
I mean, how could I take that seriously? | 0:32:28 | 0:32:31 | |
This jacket at the Smithsonian?! | 0:32:31 | 0:32:33 | |
So, I gave an interview to somebody and I said, | 0:32:33 | 0:32:35 | |
"I always knew it would wind up in an institution someday." | 0:32:35 | 0:32:39 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
And they got insulted and they sent it back to me. | 0:32:41 | 0:32:45 | |
-No! -I still have it. Anybody want it? | 0:32:45 | 0:32:48 | |
-They put in the mail? -They did. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
They sent it back. They didn't like that joke. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:54 | |
-No sense of humour over at the Smithsonian. -That's shock... | 0:32:54 | 0:32:58 | |
If I was you, I'd have sent it back again. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:01 | |
-"Sorry, I don't know..." -I love that shirt now. | 0:33:01 | 0:33:03 | |
-It reminds me of really great times. -Yeah, you should. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:06 | |
-Jean Paul, have you done the...? -A little, but not that much. | 0:33:06 | 0:33:10 | |
I think he did truly a lot. I love it. | 0:33:10 | 0:33:13 | |
That's coming from Jean Paul Gaultier! | 0:33:13 | 0:33:16 | |
You have to be strong to wear all of those frills because it's like... | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
-It must be heavy. -It weighed a tonne. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
And to sing with it, fab. | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
-Fab, fab. -Would you wear that, Stephen? | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
I might later, if you've got it with you. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:31 | |
I don't carry it with me. | 0:33:31 | 0:33:32 | |
We'll keep checking eBay. It'll show up eventually. | 0:33:32 | 0:33:36 | |
Now, what brings you to our shores? | 0:33:36 | 0:33:39 | |
I'm doing a tour here now and again. I come back every few years. | 0:33:39 | 0:33:43 | |
You can't get rid of me. I come back every few years and I do a tour. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
-So, we begin in Wembley. -These are big gigs. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
-Next week, you're doing the 13th and 14th at Wembley Arena. -Right. -Now... | 0:33:50 | 0:33:55 | |
things I never thought I'd say. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:58 | |
Barry Manilow will be appearing at Ipswich football ground. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:03 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:34:03 | 0:34:04 | |
You know... | 0:34:04 | 0:34:06 | |
I don't know how I got so lucky. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
I'll make them have a good time. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |
This year, it's a smaller band, not the royal philharmonic any more, | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
but it's a smaller band. A small, powerful band. It's fun. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:19 | |
Because the new album, Night Songs, which has done incredibly well, | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
that is a totally stripped-back sound. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:25 | |
It's an amazing experience, this Night Songs album. | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
It's just me playing the piano and singing | 0:34:28 | 0:34:30 | |
some of the most beautiful standards ever, | 0:34:30 | 0:34:33 | |
written by some of the greatest composers. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:35 | |
You know, I looked at the charts and it entered at the top ten, | 0:34:35 | 0:34:40 | |
I didn't know the people around me. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:42 | |
They're so young | 0:34:42 | 0:34:45 | |
and they're so different to this little album. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:48 | |
I'm so happy that people are getting to hear this great stuff. | 0:34:48 | 0:34:51 | |
Now, Brenda, do you have a favourite Barry Manilow song? | 0:34:51 | 0:34:55 | |
Um... Well, I like lots of them. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:58 | |
What was the one I was singing in the dressing room just now? | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
# Lola, she was a showgirl. # | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
Copacabana. | 0:35:04 | 0:35:05 | |
Now, Jean Paul Gaultier, are you familiar with Barry Manilow's songs? | 0:35:05 | 0:35:08 | |
-Yes. Copacabana is my favourite, of course. -OK. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:11 | |
-Two votes for Copacabana. -Even Kylie Minogue, she's singing it | 0:35:11 | 0:35:14 | |
in her last concert. She did it. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:18 | |
-It was great. -Thief. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:21 | |
-And Stephen? -The one sung to me at school by all the other kids... | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
# Oh, Mangan | 0:35:25 | 0:35:27 | |
# When you came... # | 0:35:27 | 0:35:28 | |
-Lovely song. -I love that. -Well, he's not singing any of those. | 0:35:28 | 0:35:32 | |
What are you singing for us tonight? | 0:35:35 | 0:35:36 | |
-You'll hear it when they first note comes out, I bet you know it. -OK. | 0:35:36 | 0:35:40 | |
-Do you need to go get ready? Are you ready? -I'm ready. -You're ready. | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
Audience, all ready? | 0:35:43 | 0:35:44 | |

Wow. | 0:39:46 | 0:39:48 | |
Barry Manilow, everybody! | 0:39:52 | 0:39:55 | |
Genius. Come here, sir. | 0:39:56 | 0:39:59 | |
Barry Manilow! | 0:39:59 | 0:40:02 | |
Thank you so, so much. Grab a seat there. | 0:40:04 | 0:40:07 | |
Grab a seat there and we'll be out here in a second. You sit there. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
That is so beautiful. | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
-What a treat. -Thank you. -Thank you very, very much. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
You are lucky people! Yeah. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
In another land, they're paying to hear that. OK. | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
Just time for a quick story or two in the red chair. Who's there? | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
Who's there? | 0:40:24 | 0:40:25 | |
-Hello! -Hi. -Hi. What's your name? | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
-Alexi. -And where are you from, Alexi? | 0:40:29 | 0:40:30 | |
-I'm from London. -OK. And what do you do in London? -I'm an events manager. | 0:40:30 | 0:40:34 | |
She's an events manager, everyone! | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
Oh! Who knew we'd meet an events manager tonight? | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
I wasn't expecting it. Designers, singers, actors, event managers. | 0:40:41 | 0:40:46 | |
All human life is here. | 0:40:46 | 0:40:48 | |
What sort of events? | 0:40:48 | 0:40:50 | |
-I work for an accountancy firm. -Oh. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:40:52 | 0:40:54 | |
Wow. And you managed to get the night off. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:58 | |
OK. Off you go with your story, Alexi. | 0:40:58 | 0:41:00 | |
OK. So, I was driving home for Christmas, | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
bringing back my grandparents. | 0:41:03 | 0:41:05 | |
My grandma was in the back of the car and she gets travel sick. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:09 | |
So we were driving along and she was feeling really bad, | 0:41:09 | 0:41:12 | |
-so we gave her a plastic bag and she unfortunately... -Can I just stop you? | 0:41:12 | 0:41:15 | |
Actually, I'm just going to do that. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:17 | |
"We gave her a plastic bag?!" | 0:41:19 | 0:41:22 | |
You stop the car, you rude cow. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:25 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:41:25 | 0:41:27 | |
Your grandmother's feeling ill. | 0:41:27 | 0:41:30 | |
What is wrong with people?! | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
They didn't put it over her head, did they? | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
That would quieten her down. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
-Let's see who's in the chair now. Oh, hello. -Hello. -What's your name? | 0:41:41 | 0:41:45 | |
-I'm Andy. -Andy, are you from New Zealand? -Yes. -We love New Zealand. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:51 | |
-You must have toured New Zealand? -I've never toured New Zealand, no. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
-You're kidding? -No. -You're kidding? -I would love to, but I never went. | 0:41:54 | 0:41:58 | |
-But you've been everywhere. -I know. Everywhere but New Zealand. | 0:41:58 | 0:42:01 | |
Let's hear his story. | 0:42:01 | 0:42:02 | |
Let's hear his story. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:05 | |
Off you go with your story. | 0:42:05 | 0:42:07 | |
OK. So, I was out for a run with my friend, Dunc, | 0:42:07 | 0:42:10 | |
and we were running past... | 0:42:10 | 0:42:12 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:42:12 | 0:42:13 | |
..a park and Dunc really needed to go for a poo. | 0:42:13 | 0:42:17 | |
-We saw... -Can I just stop you? | 0:42:18 | 0:42:21 | |
That's why you've never been to New Zealand. | 0:42:21 | 0:42:24 | |
So, we saw a toilet block and there was a men's | 0:42:26 | 0:42:28 | |
and a woman's and we ran over to the men's and he was busting, | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
he really needed to get this thing out of him. | 0:42:32 | 0:42:35 | |
The men's was closed. At this stage, he didn't even care, | 0:42:35 | 0:42:38 | |
so he went over to the women's toilet and that was closed as well. | 0:42:38 | 0:42:42 | |
So, he's frantically looking around, "Where can I go? Where can I go?" | 0:42:42 | 0:42:45 | |
So he ran over to this bush and crouched down behind this bush | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
and he went and about 30 seconds later, | 0:42:49 | 0:42:51 | |
I saw... This big German Shepherd, came bounding over | 0:42:51 | 0:42:55 | |
and Dunc pulled his pants up, jogged off. | 0:42:55 | 0:42:58 | |
Then about 20 seconds later, the owner of the German Shepherd | 0:42:58 | 0:43:03 | |
came over and she was like, "Oh, Roy, you naughty boy!" | 0:43:03 | 0:43:08 | |
-LAUGHTER -Puts a bag on her arm, | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
picks up the poo, ties it to her belt | 0:43:11 | 0:43:14 | |
and then just wanders off with the poo dangling from her belt. | 0:43:14 | 0:43:17 | |
