0:00:02 > 0:00:04On the show tonight, Chris Hemsworth is here.
0:00:04 > 0:00:07Yeah, he's the star of the new whaling movie,
0:00:07 > 0:00:09In The Heart Of The Sea.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11Wait a minute!
0:00:11 > 0:00:13There she blows. Argh!
0:00:15 > 0:00:19Let's start the show.
0:00:21 > 0:00:28This programme contains some strong language.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35Oh, oh.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Yes. Yes.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Oh, welcome.
0:00:43 > 0:00:45Welcome, all.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Great show tonight. As well as Chris,
0:00:47 > 0:00:53it's the first-time appearances from comic Kevin Bridges, director
0:00:53 > 0:00:59Ron Howard and the comedy legend that is Lily Tomlin, so excited, yes.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03And we'll be getting in the Christmas mood with music from Blake
0:01:03 > 0:01:06and Dame Shirley Bassey. Yes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:12Your actual Dame Shirley will be over there and there.
0:01:12 > 0:01:14She will! No, seriously. It's Christmassy.
0:01:14 > 0:01:16Now, of course, Chris and Ron are here with the new
0:01:16 > 0:01:21film In The Heart Of The Sea where Chris plays a fearless whale hunter.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25The story takes place on a ship called the Essex
0:01:25 > 0:01:28and was the original inspiration for the novel Moby Dick.
0:01:30 > 0:01:34Funnily enough, if you Google the words Essex and Dick,
0:01:34 > 0:01:35this is what you get.
0:01:35 > 0:01:38APPLAUSE
0:01:38 > 0:01:40Try it, try it. That is what happens.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45It is a very exciting story, though. No, it really is an exciting story.
0:01:45 > 0:01:50The whale sinks the ship and leaves the crew marooned in a lifeboat.
0:01:50 > 0:01:54Yes. To survive, they resort to cannibalism. Awful.
0:01:54 > 0:01:57Here's that lifeboat three weeks later.
0:01:57 > 0:01:59LAUGHTER
0:01:59 > 0:02:01Couldn't eat another sailor!
0:02:01 > 0:02:03Let's get the guests on.
0:02:03 > 0:02:06First up, at the age of only 29,

0:02:09 > 0:02:13and last year sold more tickets than any other comic in the UK.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16Please welcome Kevin Bridges.
0:02:16 > 0:02:17Here he is.
0:02:18 > 0:02:21How are you, sir?
0:02:21 > 0:02:23You're very welcome. Very nice to see you.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30directors, making Splash, Parenthood, Apollo 13,

0:02:32 > 0:02:34Now he brings us In The Heart Of The Sea.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's the Oscar-winning Ron Howard.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41That's Ron Howard. Hello.
0:02:41 > 0:02:42Lovely to see you.
0:02:42 > 0:02:43Grab a seat.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49And this heart-throb exploded onto the big screen as Thor
0:02:49 > 0:02:51and has gone on to incredible success with The Avengers,
0:02:51 > 0:02:54The Huntsman and the James Hunt biopic Rush.
0:02:54 > 0:02:58It is the fabulous Chris Hemsworth, everybody.
0:02:58 > 0:02:59APPLAUSE
0:02:59 > 0:03:01Hello. Lovely to see you. I'm really well.
0:03:01 > 0:03:03Have a seat there.
0:03:05 > 0:03:06And...
0:03:08 > 0:03:11..this lady is one of America's greatest comedy talents.
0:03:11 > 0:03:15She is the star of Nashville, 9 To 5, All Of Me.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17Seven Emmys, two Tonys and a Grammy to her name,
0:03:17 > 0:03:21she is now Oscar-tipped for her new movie, Grandma.
0:03:21 > 0:03:26It is a huge pleasure to welcome the one and only Lily Tomlin, everybody.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30APPLAUSE
0:03:40 > 0:03:42So, did you all meet backstage?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Was there kind of showbiz mingling behind the curtain?
0:03:45 > 0:03:49- Quick, a quick mingle.- OK.- A little bit, yeah.- We got a lot done.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Lovely.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55No, because Ron and you,
0:03:55 > 0:03:58- you've never worked together, Ron and Lily?- Never worked together.
0:03:58 > 0:04:02I met one time because I went to see a one-woman show that Lily did many years ago.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05I don't remember the name of the show, but in it was... You took
0:04:05 > 0:04:10this picture and you were playing this character that went "Soup, art - art, soup."
0:04:10 > 0:04:11- Yeah.- What was the name of the show?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14The Search For Signs Of Intelligent Life.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17LAUGHTER
0:04:17 > 0:04:19You should really get in one of his films...
0:04:19 > 0:04:21- I hope I'm going to be in his next one.- They do well.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24Ron Howard, do you know off the top of your head,
0:04:24 > 0:04:27- how much money your films have made? - Well, I actually don't.
0:04:27 > 0:04:30Well, I can tell you.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32Ron Howard, this is incredible.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Ron Howard's films have made, so far,
0:04:35 > 0:04:393.5 billion.
0:04:40 > 0:04:42BILLION dollars.
0:04:42 > 0:04:46APPLAUSE
0:04:46 > 0:04:49Sounds like I need a conversation with my lawyer and...
0:04:49 > 0:04:53You should start your own country or something. That's a lot of money.
0:04:53 > 0:04:55And Kevin, I was saying in the introduction,
0:04:55 > 0:04:57your success is extraordinary.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00I'm sitting beside the guy that's pulled in 3.5 billion dollars.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04My success has been all right.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08Sorry to bring you down. You walk out here high as a kite.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09And now, it's like...
0:05:10 > 0:05:14But no, you must get stopped in the street and stuff like that now.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17Aye, usually by people collecting for charity.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I got asked to sign 25 copies,
0:05:22 > 0:05:2725 pirate copies, of my own DVD.
0:05:27 > 0:05:29LAUGHTER
0:05:29 > 0:05:31That takes balls, man.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34- Of course, I signed them. - Of course you did.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38- Now, Lily, can you understand anything Kevin said?- Not much.- No.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42I got something about balls at the end. Is that what he said?
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Yeah, he said balls. Yeah, he did say balls.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47- Can you seriously not understand? - Not very much.
0:05:47 > 0:05:52I was going to kind of question him as he was going along, but...
0:05:52 > 0:05:55I actually tried my show in America. I've done one gig.
0:05:55 > 0:05:59A guy complimented me, approached me after the set and he goes,
0:05:59 > 0:06:01"Man, are you ACTUALLY Scottish?"
0:06:03 > 0:06:04And I said, "Yes".
0:06:04 > 0:06:07And he goes, "Fuck, man. Your English is pretty good."
0:06:07 > 0:06:09LAUGHTER
0:06:13 > 0:06:15Because talking of Scottish, cos Chris Hemsworth,
0:06:15 > 0:06:18you did Scottish in The Huntsman?
0:06:18 > 0:06:20Yeah, it was a Celtic vibe(!)
0:06:22 > 0:06:26I had a great review that told me it was the worst Glaswegian accent
0:06:26 > 0:06:28since The Fat Bastard.
0:06:28 > 0:06:30I wasn't doing Glaswegian, though.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33- That was in my defence. - It was your Celtic vibe.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35It was a Celtic fantasy,
0:06:35 > 0:06:37Snow White world, Scottish influenced kind of accent,
0:06:37 > 0:06:41so that gives you a whole broad range to do whatever the hell you want.
0:06:41 > 0:06:45But I hear little bits in there. I understood little bits.
0:06:45 > 0:06:47It was pretty... Yeah.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50"I understood little bits!"
0:06:50 > 0:06:52The compliments are flying in!
0:06:53 > 0:06:55I just need to laugh. I was...
0:06:55 > 0:06:59I think that's why we die so young in Scotland.
0:06:59 > 0:07:00Cos it's just exhausting.
0:07:02 > 0:07:03It's so much more effort.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05You need to translate in your head and then...
0:07:05 > 0:07:08- Have you performed in Australia, though?- Yes. Yes, I've done...
0:07:08 > 0:07:12We love you. I swear to God, I love you.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Yeah, I've played Australia.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17I've not played Scotland, but I've played Australia
0:07:17 > 0:07:21and by the reaction, I'm amazed that I went over at all.
0:07:21 > 0:07:22What do you mean?
0:07:22 > 0:07:26I'm just saying, they seem to understand Kevin very well.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28LAUGHTER
0:07:28 > 0:07:33- But we're not in Australia now.- No! No, I understand that. I'm just...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36And I'm even having trouble with Chris a little bit.
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Do you understand me?
0:07:39 > 0:07:45- I can understand you.- Well, that's the main thing.- Yeah.- We'll talk!
0:07:45 > 0:07:47I find there's references as well,
0:07:47 > 0:07:50you need to change certain references when you perform.
0:07:50 > 0:07:51Are you talking to me?
0:07:51 > 0:07:56LAUGHTER
0:08:00 > 0:08:07Lily Tomlin, you bring us such a sweet, lovely, funny film. Grandma.
0:08:07 > 0:08:12It opens next Friday, the 11th. Is Grandma quite close to you?
0:08:12 > 0:08:17Well, she could be many things. I drove my own car.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23- Never late for work!- No, right.
0:08:23 > 0:08:29No, it's a very funny, interesting kind of important movie.
0:08:29 > 0:08:33So, in broad strokes, what is the story of Grandma?
0:08:33 > 0:08:36Well, the story is, Grandma is a lesbian poet.
0:08:36 > 0:08:39Feminist lesbian poet, who's been...
0:08:39 > 0:08:42This is not a film that will become a blockbuster, right, in your terms?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44I'm not talking to you.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47LAUGHTER
0:08:47 > 0:08:52- OK.- And there's a lot of stuff that's gone on.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54She's been in a relationship for 38 years
0:08:54 > 0:08:59and her partner has died like a year or so before, a couple of years,
0:08:59 > 0:09:03and her granddaughter shows up on her doorstep and has become pregnant
0:09:03 > 0:09:07and needs an abortion and so then the story is kind of a road trip.
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I mean, the grandmother's kind of very cantankerous and ornery
0:09:11 > 0:09:15and rails against injustice and...
0:09:15 > 0:09:16All that stuff.
0:09:18 > 0:09:21I think the idea of having a funny, sweet abortion road movie is
0:09:21 > 0:09:26so unlikely. And yes, it is. It's a new genre.
0:09:26 > 0:09:28It's kind of a new genre.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31It is. Never to be repeated.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I love the film. It's very wonderful.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36It really is. You are terrific in it.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39This is a little clip and this is the start of the road trip
0:09:39 > 0:09:42when there's a problem with the car.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Oh, God, I didn't wake you up again, did I?
0:09:46 > 0:09:48- No.- Oh, good. So glad.
0:09:52 > 0:09:54- She's already pregnant. - Grandma!- Just saying.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57I see the hormones popping.
0:09:57 > 0:09:59No ideas. We're good! Here, give it a try.
0:10:01 > 0:10:02Oh, it's working.
0:10:02 > 0:10:05RAP MUSIC
0:10:05 > 0:10:06Nice tunes!
0:10:06 > 0:10:08- Listen, thanks.- Any time.
0:10:08 > 0:10:11- Take it to the shop and get it checked out.- It runs good.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13Hey, congratulations.
0:10:14 > 0:10:17AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:10:17 > 0:10:19Isn't that good!
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Now, I don't want to jinx it, it's a terrible thing, you must hate this,
0:10:25 > 0:10:27- but with Grandma...- Yes?
0:10:27 > 0:10:31..there is that terrible phrase, "Oscar buzz" about it,
0:10:31 > 0:10:33which you must be aware of.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36- Yes, I am.- Yeah.- I mean, I've certainly been exposed to it.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40Yes. So how do you manage your expectations?
0:10:40 > 0:10:43Well, I don't have any expectations, truly.
0:10:43 > 0:10:49What I would like to do, if I did get nominated and I did win,
0:10:49 > 0:10:54assuming I'll be there, I would like to have, you know, a...
0:10:54 > 0:10:56- I would be very humble, of course. - Of course.
0:10:56 > 0:11:01And I'd have a box built with... You know, they'd wheel the box out
0:11:01 > 0:11:05and I would open it up and there'd be everything else in there.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07Emmys and Tonys and...
0:11:07 > 0:11:09AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:11:09 > 0:11:12- And what's the other thing that's in there?- Grammys?
0:11:12 > 0:11:14A Grammy. Only one Grammy.
0:11:14 > 0:11:15And so then I would open it
0:11:15 > 0:11:18and there would be a niche prepared in there.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21And I could take the Oscar and put it in there.
0:11:23 > 0:11:25But I don't think it's going to happen.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:11:28 > 0:11:31And Jane, your partner, you've written together for years?
0:11:31 > 0:11:35Well, Jane is really the writer. I'm not much of a writer.
0:11:35 > 0:11:37Is she a bit miffed that you've now wandered off
0:11:37 > 0:11:40- and made a film with somebody else? - No, she's quite pleased...
0:11:40 > 0:11:43She's quite pleased because it's pretty successful.
0:11:43 > 0:11:46But working with people you're close to... Like, Chris, you and Liam,
0:11:46 > 0:11:48are you finally going to be in a film together?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51- Your brother, Liam, obviously. - Er... I don't know, we're looking.
0:11:51 > 0:11:54- It'd be nice if the right thing came along, sure.- Oh, I'd read that
0:11:54 > 0:11:57you'd found something. You haven't found something?
0:11:57 > 0:12:00- HESITANTLY:- No... No! What! What have we found?!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02Ron?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's an abortion road movie...
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Two brothers...
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Who's the father?
0:12:13 > 0:12:17- Now, was he also up for Thor? - He was, yeah.
0:12:17 > 0:12:21I auditioned and then didn't get the part and then they auditioned him
0:12:21 > 0:12:24and he basically got down to the last, like, four people
0:12:24 > 0:12:27and then didn't get it and then I came back in and...
0:12:27 > 0:12:29And how was that at home? Cool?
0:12:32 > 0:12:36That's like real sibling rivalry! That's like, yeah...
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Was it all right? It must have been a bit weird. A bit awks.
0:12:39 > 0:12:41We still don't talk that much.
0:12:42 > 0:12:43But we never did! No, it was fine.
0:12:43 > 0:12:46I don't know whether he's bitter or not,
0:12:46 > 0:12:48but he did post this picture of his... This is real!
0:12:48 > 0:12:51This is his dog with a chew toy which looks familiar.
0:12:55 > 0:12:58- One of the arms is chewed off, look at that!- Yeah.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00- That hammer was delicious!- It was.
0:13:01 > 0:13:06Cos, Ron Howard, you work with your family, like, all the time.
0:13:06 > 0:13:10Whenever I can. My brother Clint's an actor. My father Rance
0:13:10 > 0:13:13is still acting in his eighties and working all the time.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I love to work with them.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19Your mom sadly is no longer with us, but she did get a part in...
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Was it Apollo 13?
0:13:21 > 0:13:25Apollo 13, she had a really nice role, which almost didn't happen
0:13:25 > 0:13:30because I got this call from my dad and he said,
0:13:30 > 0:13:32"You know, I just read the rewrite on Apollo 13."
0:13:32 > 0:13:35And I said, "Yeah?" And he said, "There's a new part in there."
0:13:35 > 0:13:38I said, "Yes, there is. Jim Lovell's mother." I said, "Yeah,
0:13:38 > 0:13:40"she's got a nice scene." I said, "Yeah."
0:13:40 > 0:13:42"Do you know who would be really good for that?"
0:13:42 > 0:13:44"Who do you think, Dad?" "Your mom."
0:13:44 > 0:13:48And I... "Boy, I don't know. I'd have to audition her."
0:13:50 > 0:13:54And he said, "Well, fine." And so...
0:13:54 > 0:13:57And my mom was all for that. And she said, "I don't want to do it
0:13:57 > 0:14:00"if Ronny doesn't think I can do it."
0:14:00 > 0:14:02So I went over to their house and we worked through the scene
0:14:02 > 0:14:05and she was great and we did it in a couple of takes.
0:14:05 > 0:14:08And she was... I'd never been prouder.
0:14:08 > 0:14:10She even got written up in the New York Times review.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And it wound up being a great moment.
0:14:12 > 0:14:14She played Jim Lovell's mother.
0:14:14 > 0:14:16It would have been worse if you HADN'T given her the part
0:14:16 > 0:14:19after the audition. "Yeah, this isn't going to work out."
0:14:19 > 0:14:20I'll tell you what's really bad.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23My dad's an actor, I cast him whenever it's appropriate, you know.
0:14:23 > 0:14:25And here's the call I've had to make to him.
0:14:25 > 0:14:27"Hey, Dad, you know, you did great,
0:14:27 > 0:14:31"er, but, you know, the movie was a little long..."
0:14:31 > 0:14:34AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:14:34 > 0:14:37And next would be... "Am I in it at all?"
0:14:39 > 0:14:41"Maybe in the extended DVD cut."
0:14:43 > 0:14:44So that's a tough call.
0:14:44 > 0:14:47But he's an old warhorse, he understands.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49And, Kevin, your dad, cos you started so young,
0:14:49 > 0:14:51your dad was really kind of important in your career?
0:14:51 > 0:14:53My dad used to drive me to the gigs
0:14:53 > 0:14:56cos I was too young to perform in the clubs.
0:14:56 > 0:14:59So they'd make... As long as I brought along a parent,
0:14:59 > 0:15:01which was pretty uncool...
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Having to bring a note in saying you're all right to go on stage
0:15:04 > 0:15:06in these comedy clubs. And he used to drive me, aye,
0:15:06 > 0:15:08everywhere, all over Scotland.
0:15:08 > 0:15:11But you've rewarded them handsomely. You gave your parents a lovely trip -
0:15:11 > 0:15:13was it the Orient Express you sent them on?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Aye, my dad's always had a thing for trains. He's always wanted to go on
0:15:16 > 0:15:19the Orient Express. So for their anniversary a couple of years ago,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22I got them the trip. And my dad is the only guy
0:15:22 > 0:15:24who's ever missed the train.
0:15:28 > 0:15:30He got off at Innsbruck Station to send me a text.
0:15:30 > 0:15:32And he's used to, like, talking to me on the phone
0:15:32 > 0:15:34when I've been on trains and going,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36"Dad, I'm on the train, the signal's pretty bad."
0:15:36 > 0:15:39So he presumes that you cannot send a text from a train.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43What I mean is, I'm driving through, like, cross-country.
0:15:43 > 0:15:47So he gets off before the train's due to depart and starts sending me
0:15:47 > 0:15:51this big, long text, just going, "Son, we've been wined and dined,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53"I'm gazing at the Tyrolean Mountains."
0:15:53 > 0:15:55And he's done the spell-check on Tyrolean.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58And I'm reading this text and I'm kind of filling up, just going,
0:15:58 > 0:16:01"Aw, he's really had a good time." And it just goes, "Shite."
0:16:01 > 0:16:04AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:16:04 > 0:16:08And it's went, "The train has just left, can you call me?"
0:16:08 > 0:16:10I'm thinking it's a wind-up, so I've ignored it.
0:16:10 > 0:16:13And then another text comes in going, "Call me, son."
0:16:13 > 0:16:16So I phoned him, it does the international ringtone.
0:16:16 > 0:16:19And he's going, "Oh, I just got off to send that text.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22"Your mum's on there, she's got the passports...
0:16:22 > 0:16:23"I'm in Innsbruck Station."
0:16:23 > 0:16:25I was going, "You need to go to Information
0:16:25 > 0:16:27"and try and explain to someone."
0:16:27 > 0:16:29And he goes, "But they don't know what I'm saying.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32"I don't speak any German." And I went, "Or English!"
0:16:34 > 0:16:37So they just think it's just an excited Scottish guy
0:16:37 > 0:16:39that's seen the Orient Express.
0:16:39 > 0:16:44And eventually he's explained what's happened. And they got him a taxi
0:16:44 > 0:16:47and he had to... They contacted somebody on the train to pull in
0:16:47 > 0:16:49at this kind of regional stop.
0:16:49 > 0:16:52And my dad, it was a high-speed sort of chase.
0:16:52 > 0:16:54He managed to catch the train and he got on
0:16:54 > 0:16:56and he got a standing ovation.
0:16:56 > 0:16:58Aw, that's cute!
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Now, Chris and Ron, your movie, I was saying to you back there,
0:17:06 > 0:17:10it is such an epic tale, a real beast of a film.
0:17:10 > 0:17:13In the Heart of the Sea, it opens here on Boxing Day.
0:17:13 > 0:17:16The day after Christmas, that's what that is.
0:17:16 > 0:17:17And obviously, it's a Ron Howard film.
0:17:17 > 0:17:20But this was your baby, Chris, you had this script.
0:17:20 > 0:17:21So how did this happen?
0:17:21 > 0:17:26We had just done Rush and I had In the Heart of the Sea with...
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Paula Weinstein brought it to myself and my manager, Will Ward.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32And we basically were looking for a director.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35And I think we were in the ADR booth and you said,
0:17:35 > 0:17:38"If you have anything else you want to do, let me know."
0:17:38 > 0:17:40And I said, "Actually, yes, I do."
0:17:40 > 0:17:43Handed him the script and said, "Yeah, if you're not sick of me,
0:17:43 > 0:17:45"let's go again." And we did.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47But I was saying... I don't have a great work ethic,
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I think I would have read this script and thought, "It's very good,
0:17:50 > 0:17:51"but it sounds really hard to make.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55"I really cannot be arsed."
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- I actually... - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:17:58 > 0:18:02You know, there is an ambitious streak that I have
0:18:02 > 0:18:08and that I follow. Look, this was kind of a life experience,
0:18:08 > 0:18:12making this kind of movie. It's a sort of personal adventure.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14I'm not a very naturally adventurous person,
0:18:14 > 0:18:17but the movies take me into these places.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20I learn a lot that I wouldn't otherwise.
0:18:20 > 0:18:23And I actually, when I first read it, I sort of thought,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27"Well, they're just trying to find a way to kind of re-boot Moby-Dick."
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And it is very hard and very challenging. And I didn't realise
0:18:30 > 0:18:31it was based on real events.
0:18:31 > 0:18:35So when I did and I started thinking about it and I said,
0:18:35 > 0:18:36"Well, it's not a monster movie."
0:18:36 > 0:18:41This whale is not like the shark in Jaws. It's not a predator.
0:18:41 > 0:18:45This is more like King Kong. This is like a force of nature awakened
0:18:45 > 0:18:48by man, man's greed.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51And I felt like there were a lot of themes that were contemporary
0:18:51 > 0:18:55and very relatable, surprisingly relatable. And yet, also,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58the big epic adventure story.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02Well, listen, the clip really captures the scale of the film.
0:19:02 > 0:19:05This is Chris Hemsworth taking on the whale.
0:19:12 > 0:19:14Never seen a whale do that.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Take the wheel.
0:19:16 > 0:19:19- Secure the other end of the line to the foremast.- Aye, sir!
0:19:19 > 0:19:22As I live and breathe, he's mine.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44HE GRUNTS WITH EFFORT
0:19:49 > 0:19:50MEN SCREAM
0:20:04 > 0:20:06- Cut the line!- Look out!
0:20:10 > 0:20:13AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:20:16 > 0:20:19I feel like I've seen the whole film. Other stuff happens as well!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21That would be enough.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24You'd go home, "Thank you very much, that was very good."
0:20:24 > 0:20:27- That's just a turning point. - Extraordinary, extraordinary.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30- Was that a real whale? - No, no. CGI whale.
0:20:30 > 0:20:34No whales were injured or pestered in the making of the movie.
0:20:34 > 0:20:37So that was a model that was made?
0:20:37 > 0:20:41It was a complete CGI whale. You know, technology was such a factor
0:20:41 > 0:20:44in this movie. A lot of things we shot in the way that movies
0:20:44 > 0:20:48have been made for 100 years. But I wouldn't have tackled this movie
0:20:48 > 0:20:51if you had to use a giant puppet or something like that,
0:20:51 > 0:20:54where the audience has to kind of suspend their disbelief.
0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Yeah.- After seeing Life of Pi, I realised that this technology
0:20:58 > 0:21:02was there and that we could make a movie that was totally immersive,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04and let this character have its due.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06Let it be a living, breathing force.
0:21:06 > 0:21:08And for Chris, it must be odd, you hear about all the CGI.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11You're thinking, "CGI, my arse, I did all this!"
0:21:11 > 0:21:12You really had to do it.
0:21:12 > 0:21:15You had to jump and fall and swim...
0:21:15 > 0:21:17Yeah, it was one of the, I think,
0:21:17 > 0:21:20the most physically challenging things I've ever done.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24We had to do, as you say, all kinds of action and so on.
0:21:24 > 0:21:29And navigating the ship and learning to row the whale boats and so on
0:21:29 > 0:21:33and throw harpoons. Then there was the weight loss sort of thing
0:21:33 > 0:21:36- we were all going through.- Oh, yeah, this picture's been everywhere,
0:21:36 > 0:21:38this of you.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40Eurgh!
0:21:41 > 0:21:43Who's that?!
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- That's Liam. - AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:21:48 > 0:21:51He likes to drink!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53But to get down to that weight, so what are you...
0:21:53 > 0:21:56You know, I read somewhere that it was 500 calories or something.
0:21:56 > 0:22:01Well, we started one diet and slowly each week dwindled down
0:22:01 > 0:22:05- to about 500, 600 calories.- And what is that? Like, physically,
0:22:05 > 0:22:09- what are you eating that is 500 calories a day?- Like, a piece of fish
0:22:09 > 0:22:12and some lettuce. Or if you have, like... It's funny, you do all these
0:22:12 > 0:22:15sort of trade-offs. Like, "If I have this piece of chocolate,
0:22:15 > 0:22:18"then I won't be able to have the fish, but then I can have this..."
0:22:18 > 0:22:20And it's all this crazy kind of insanity which happened.
0:22:20 > 0:22:22And, of course, Kevin, you can relate to this film
0:22:22 > 0:22:25because you actually own a boat, don't you?
0:22:25 > 0:22:27AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:22:27 > 0:22:30- You own a boat!- Yes. I thought you were going to say because
0:22:30 > 0:22:32I've seen Free Willy!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36I do have a boat. I'm fully aware of the dangers of the sea, man.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39I had to make a distress call this summer...
0:22:39 > 0:22:41in Loch Lomond cos we got a...
0:22:41 > 0:22:43AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:22:43 > 0:22:47We got a bag of cans wrapped round the propeller on the boat.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51We were having a few beers. It was a maiden voyage.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56And my mate complained that his beers were room temperature,
0:22:56 > 0:22:59which is potentially fatal on a boating trip.
0:22:59 > 0:23:04And my other buddy suggested that we tie the bag of beers
0:23:04 > 0:23:07onto one of the ropes and throw it off the boat, into the water.
0:23:07 > 0:23:08Great idea.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10And then we forgot about the beers.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13We were driving off and the engine failed. We never knew why.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Had to phone up the SOS dude.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19He came out. He dives under, comes back up, going,
0:23:19 > 0:23:23"There's a box of Magners in an Oddbins bag wrapped round..."
0:23:23 > 0:23:26LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
0:23:29 > 0:23:32Kevin Bridges, ladies and gentlemen, he has a DVD out now.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35- It's out now.- Yes.- It's called A Whole Different Story.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- There it is.- Is this the tour that you're just finishing?
0:23:38 > 0:23:42- Yes, just finishing up.- So there's 11 more dates.- 11 more dates to go.
0:23:42 > 0:23:45So don't buy it before you go to see one of those 11 dates.
0:23:45 > 0:23:47You're not supposed to say that, Graham!
0:23:47 > 0:23:50But, aye, don't buy it before you go.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53That's why I had to lose weight, to fit into the I!
0:23:55 > 0:23:57You'd have been Kev-on!
0:24:00 > 0:24:03AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- It was recorded in Glasgow two months ago.- Oh, right.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09- And it's very much the story of how your life has changed...- Yes.
0:24:09 > 0:24:14..with success. Because you live in quite a ritzy area now.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Yes. Well, yes.
0:24:16 > 0:24:18- Not quite LA or anything.- No.
0:24:18 > 0:24:23I live in Glasgow, but I live in a nicer bit of Glasgow!
0:24:23 > 0:24:25Listen, we've got a very quick clip.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27This is you talking about some of the people you meet
0:24:27 > 0:24:29in your new neighbourhood.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32They call me Mr Bridges, the kids in my street.
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I don't feel intimidated physically.
0:24:34 > 0:24:39I feel intellectually intimidated by the gangs of youths in my street.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41- POSH ACCENT:- "Mr Bridges...
0:24:41 > 0:24:44"Mr Bridges, how are we? How are we, Mr Bridges?
0:24:44 > 0:24:47"The family and I sat down to one of your performances on the television
0:24:47 > 0:24:50"over the festive period, Mr Bridges.
0:24:50 > 0:24:52"A tad coarse in places.
0:24:55 > 0:24:57"However, I would be lying if I said
0:24:57 > 0:25:00"I didn't allow myself a chuckle, Mr Bridges."
0:25:00 > 0:25:03AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:25:06 > 0:25:08I never knew you were going to show a clip,
0:25:08 > 0:25:10or I'd have worn a different suit, man!
0:25:13 > 0:25:15Now, a lot of people have tough gigs,
0:25:15 > 0:25:17lots of stand-up comics talk about tough gigs,
0:25:17 > 0:25:20but you've played prisons, haven't you? Or, at least, a prison.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23Yes. At the start, very tough. These days, you're playing to, like,
0:25:23 > 0:25:27what's that, 10,000 people. So somebody's going to laugh.
0:25:28 > 0:25:32But at the start... A prison, that's right, I had a guy who stood up.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35It was a gig for inmates in this prison in Scotland
0:25:35 > 0:25:38and a guy stood up about ten minutes into the show
0:25:38 > 0:25:39and just went back to his cell.
0:25:39 > 0:25:41So that's like...
0:25:41 > 0:25:44AUDIENCE LAUGHS AND APPLAUDS
0:25:49 > 0:25:52"Oh, this guy's shite, I'm away to finish my life sentence!"
0:25:55 > 0:25:57That's right, a gig in a prison.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00Because, Lily Tomlin, you've also done a gig in a prison.
0:26:00 > 0:26:02- I have, many times. - It's the place to be, Graham.
0:26:02 > 0:26:05- You should host a chat show in a prison.- No!
0:26:05 > 0:26:08No, cos you had a scary time in prison.
0:26:08 > 0:26:13Well, they could be construed as scary. I mean, what happened is,
0:26:13 > 0:26:19one time, I was playing at a women's prison in California.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22They wore regular clothing, so you didn't know who was an inmate
0:26:22 > 0:26:25or who wasn't, you know?
0:26:25 > 0:26:27And Jane was with me, my partner,
0:26:27 > 0:26:31and she's very chatty and gets to talking to everybody and she was
0:26:31 > 0:26:35having a long conversation with a woman who'd killed her boyfriend
0:26:35 > 0:26:36over a peanut butter sandwich.
0:26:38 > 0:26:40She found that out towards the end of the conversation.
0:26:40 > 0:26:45And I had to play for the newcomers who had been in, like, 15 days
0:26:45 > 0:26:47or less and they're just, like, civilians.
0:26:47 > 0:26:51And then you play for the hard-timers at the end of the night,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54that's brutal. And then you play for the psychiatric
0:26:54 > 0:26:57in the middle of the day, like, in a sunroom.
0:26:57 > 0:27:00I'd stand on the table almost, you know,
0:27:00 > 0:27:02because there was no stage or anything.
0:27:02 > 0:27:06And there was a woman sitting there, she was smoking and then, all of
0:27:06 > 0:27:10a sudden, she'd be watching me and listening to me and she'd go...
0:27:10 > 0:27:13SHE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
0:27:13 > 0:27:16And she'd get up and run. There were two doors. It was like a farce.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19She'd run out that door and next, she'd come back in this door
0:27:19 > 0:27:21and sit on that side of the house
0:27:21 > 0:27:22and do the same thing in a few minutes.
0:27:22 > 0:27:26So anyway, that was mild compared to the hard-timers.
0:27:26 > 0:27:29But there was a young girl with a pleated skirt and brown hair, long,
0:27:29 > 0:27:36heavy, rich, you know, rich girl's hair, like I feel that people have.
0:27:36 > 0:27:43And she says, "Lily, I'm going to review you for the prison paper."
0:27:46 > 0:27:50And I said, "Oh, my gosh. Well, OK."
0:27:50 > 0:27:53And she says, "Don't worry, I'll be kind."
0:27:53 > 0:27:55And she turned out to be one of the Manson women.
0:27:55 > 0:27:58EVERYONE GASPS That's extraordinary.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00And I have her review still in my files.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02- Oh, and was it kind?- No.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06Not in my book.
0:28:06 > 0:28:08- Not kind enough!- No, not kind enough.
0:28:08 > 0:28:12Why were you in prison, Chris Hemsworth?
0:28:12 > 0:28:16Isn't that the question that you start the show with?
0:28:16 > 0:28:19No, it was research. I did a movie about a guy...
0:28:19 > 0:28:21It was research.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24"I'm in for research!"
0:28:24 > 0:28:27- Armed research!- Armed research, robbery, yeah.
0:28:27 > 0:28:31- Do you have a story to tell?- No, you go on.- Because I'm so taken...
0:28:31 > 0:28:33I'm trying to listen to Kevin.
0:28:35 > 0:28:38A couple of stories back, it was the story about...
0:28:38 > 0:28:41I don't even know what the story was about.
0:28:41 > 0:28:44You were saying, you kept saying, "Beels, beels."
0:28:44 > 0:28:48- What is that?- Beels? Bills?
0:28:48 > 0:28:50- Beers!- Beers?!
0:28:52 > 0:28:55Beers. Beers. Beers. All right, so that was about beers? OK.
0:28:55 > 0:28:57That's a "beel".
0:28:58 > 0:29:01- Beer.- And then just now when you were talking about
0:29:01 > 0:29:04playing a prison, you said...
0:29:04 > 0:29:07- I can't imitate it.- Go for it. - No, I can't. I'm going to try,
0:29:07 > 0:29:09but it's going to be terrible.
0:29:09 > 0:29:12You can go for it, Chris, and you can try your...Celtic.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15Listen.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18- BAD SCOTTISH ACCENT:- "This gay... This gay stands..."
0:29:18 > 0:29:20And I'm thinking, "Well, he must be saying a gay person stood up."
0:29:20 > 0:29:23- Oh, no, no. It wasn't that... - I finally got that it was a guy.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25A guy. Yes. One vowel away.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Maybe he was prison gay.
0:29:30 > 0:29:33It's actually quite a good gig in the prison. I had quite a good show,
0:29:33 > 0:29:35cos I just did a routine about...
0:29:37 > 0:29:40You're looking at me the way the dog looks at me!
0:29:40 > 0:29:44- Sorry!- "Is he saying out? Is he saying treat?"
0:29:47 > 0:29:49I done this joke about how, attempted murder,
0:29:49 > 0:29:52you get a lesser sentence than you get for murder,
0:29:52 > 0:29:55but you still tried it.
0:29:55 > 0:29:58Just because you weren't very good at it...
0:29:58 > 0:30:01In my opinion, you should get double the sentence
0:30:01 > 0:30:02for making an arse of it, right?
0:30:02 > 0:30:05So I done this joke and there's these murderers pointing over
0:30:05 > 0:30:08at attempted murderers going, "Ah, that's you, mate, that's you!"
0:30:08 > 0:30:10AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:30:10 > 0:30:12It was strange.
0:30:12 > 0:30:14So what did I just say there, Chris? If you just want to...
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Murderers.- Murders. Did you get that?- Murders.
0:30:20 > 0:30:21No, I didn't get that.
0:30:23 > 0:30:26You said murders? It was like mudders?
0:30:26 > 0:30:28- Murrrder.- Murrrder.- M-U-R.
0:30:28 > 0:30:30- Mur-der.- D-U-R.- Oh, my gosh.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33SHOUTING: Why were you in prison, Chris?
0:30:33 > 0:30:35AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:30:35 > 0:30:37- SCOTTISH ACCENT:- Murder.
0:30:37 > 0:30:38AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:30:38 > 0:30:40Murders.
0:30:40 > 0:30:44Why did I go to prison? I was researching a film and we had to
0:30:44 > 0:30:48go in and basically see what the inside of a prison looked like
0:30:48 > 0:30:52and speak with prisoners who were willing to talk to us.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55And I walked in and I remember thinking...
0:30:55 > 0:30:58I had my ponytail, long, blonde hair and I had a hat on.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01- LILY LAUGHS ALONE - And the wardens...
0:31:01 > 0:31:03EVERYONE LAUGHS
0:31:03 > 0:31:07I think Lily knows where this is going!
0:31:07 > 0:31:08So I spent the night...!
0:31:08 > 0:31:11And the warden said, "You can't wear a hat" and so on,
0:31:11 > 0:31:13and I said, "OK, no worries." I thought, "Oh, shit,
0:31:13 > 0:31:16"they're going to know who I am." But I thought, "No, they don't get
0:31:16 > 0:31:19"Thor in here, they're not going to watch movies and..."
0:31:19 > 0:31:20I don't know, I'd never been to prison.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24So I assumed that and the moment I started walking through the cells,
0:31:24 > 0:31:28and it's like H Block of this thing, it's all just kind of, you know,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31cell upon cell and so on and...
0:31:31 > 0:31:33I just start getting heckled.
0:31:33 > 0:31:35And it's like, "Yo, yo, Thor is here, man! Yo, Thor!
0:31:35 > 0:31:37"Yo, Thor's here! Thor, Thor!
0:31:37 > 0:31:40"Where's your hammer, man?"
0:31:40 > 0:31:43And I'm, like, trying to blend in and research
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and just getting heckled left and right.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48"Yo, come and spend some time in my cell, baby!"
0:31:51 > 0:31:54- I've got my long hair and... - "You'll do!"
0:31:56 > 0:32:01Anyway, so that wasn't a whole lot of research, more just kind of...
0:32:01 > 0:32:02- You survived it!- Yeah, yeah.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05Listen, very, very quickly, we're running out of time.
0:32:05 > 0:32:08Ron, we must...we MUST mention where we found you first.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10- Happy Days.- Ah.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12AUDIENCE CHEERS
0:32:15 > 0:32:19You weren't in it for the whole time. It ran for years, but you...
0:32:19 > 0:32:21Well, I stayed with it through my contract,
0:32:21 > 0:32:23but by then I knew I wanted to be a director.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27So I left to pursue that full time at the end of my contract,
0:32:27 > 0:32:29which was 7.5 seasons. Oh, God!
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- But it ran for, what, nine years?- It went on for another four after that.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Wow. And what's odd now is that one of the things
0:32:37 > 0:32:40that it's really remembered for is coming up with that phrase,
0:32:40 > 0:32:43- "jumping the shark."- Yes. - So, if people don't know,
0:32:43 > 0:32:46can you explain the jumping the shark episode?
0:32:46 > 0:32:52Well, the show had gone and become really a number one hit,
0:32:52 > 0:32:54very successful.
0:32:54 > 0:32:58And along with it, there's sort of a culture around it
0:32:58 > 0:33:03and sort of the mythology of the Fonzie character that started off
0:33:03 > 0:33:06as a kind of normal guy and he kept getting more and more powerful.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09Tapping on jukeboxes, snapping his fingers, girls would run,
0:33:09 > 0:33:11everything would happen.
0:33:11 > 0:33:15But audiences loved it and it was really working.
0:33:15 > 0:33:18So finally they decided that they would start off season...
0:33:18 > 0:33:21I think it was probably season five or six.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23..with the biggest thing ever -
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Fonzie was going to water ski
0:33:25 > 0:33:29and jump over a white shark.
0:33:29 > 0:33:33And so they had Henry out in this jacket.
0:33:33 > 0:33:35I loved it because I was driving the boat.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37I thought driving the boat was fun.
0:33:37 > 0:33:41Henry happened to be a very good skier and loved skiing.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44We did it. But people tended
0:33:44 > 0:33:46to think, years later,
0:33:46 > 0:33:49that that was the point where the show
0:33:49 > 0:33:50had kind of gone beyond the pale.
0:33:50 > 0:33:53And suddenly they started saying, you know,
0:33:53 > 0:33:55that that was the Happy Days'...
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Jumping the shark was the moment when it sort of reached its high
0:33:58 > 0:34:01and sort of came down.
0:34:01 > 0:34:04The reality is it remained a number one show for a long time.
0:34:04 > 0:34:06And after I left the show, it was a top-ratings getter.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09So I don't know how accurate that is, but - jump the shark.
0:34:09 > 0:34:13No, it is awful where a TV show just drags on for series after series
0:34:13 > 0:34:16until everyone gets bored to death.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Time for music!
0:34:19 > 0:34:21And we're going all Christmassy now.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23This is the first little bit of Christmas on the show.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26This year, best-selling classical boyband Blake
0:34:26 > 0:34:28have done something really special.
0:34:28 > 0:34:32To perform a beautiful new version of Christmas Song, they've teamed up
0:34:32 > 0:34:34with a musical legend.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Blake and Dame Shirley Bassey!

0:38:31 > 0:38:35- Sit here beside Kevin. - OK.- Go round, go round.
0:38:35 > 0:38:36You'll blend in with the couch.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38- Sit there with the boys.- Hello, hi!
0:38:38 > 0:38:40Thank you very much.
0:38:40 > 0:38:42That's Dame Shirley Bassey who will now greet you all.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Lovely to meet you.
0:38:44 > 0:38:47OVERLAPPING GREETINGS
0:38:47 > 0:38:49And Lily!
0:38:49 > 0:38:51Shirley, marvellous!
0:38:51 > 0:38:53OK, now... Yes, there you go, perfect!
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Perfect, perfect!
0:38:55 > 0:38:58- Blake, I know there's a Humphrey and there's an Olly.- I'm Olly.
0:38:58 > 0:39:01- Are you are?- Stephen.- Steve.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04That's a bit dull after the Olly and the Humphrey! Steve!
0:39:04 > 0:39:06And Shirley, that's me!
0:39:06 > 0:39:07And Dame Shirley Bassey!
0:39:07 > 0:39:11You're Dame Shirley Bassey, but this drink... Thank you very much.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Can I just say, I don't mean to slag off the other guests,
0:39:13 > 0:39:16but nobody else brought drinks.
0:39:16 > 0:39:18This is your cocktail, Dame Shirley?
0:39:18 > 0:39:23It's a cocktail named after me. The Dame Shirley Bassey cocktail
0:39:23 > 0:39:29with champagne, vodka and... strawberries...raspberries!
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I thought you said rat poison! I was like...
0:39:31 > 0:39:33"That's quite a cocktail!"
0:39:33 > 0:39:35Mixed chaser...
0:39:35 > 0:39:37And real gold.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Real... Of course, with your finger!
0:39:39 > 0:39:42- Goldfinger. Real gold!- We thought we should have a drink, you know,
0:39:42 > 0:39:45appropriate and they created this.
0:39:45 > 0:39:48- Can we drink now?- Yes!
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Dame Shirley, "Can we drink now?!"
0:39:52 > 0:39:54- There you go.- Thank you!
0:39:54 > 0:39:58- Sorry, audience, there was only... AUDIENCE:- Aww!
0:39:58 > 0:40:00You can have a sip of mine, if you like.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03GRAHAM: If you're quick.
0:40:03 > 0:40:05AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:40:10 > 0:40:13That single is out on the 18th of December.
0:40:13 > 0:40:17And this is special, because if God was good and it did become
0:40:17 > 0:40:22a Christmas number one, it would be your very first Christmas number one.
0:40:22 > 0:40:25Yes, I've never done a Christmas Carol ever.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28- Have you never done a Christmas song before?!- No! It's my very first.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30You've missed a trick there!
0:40:31 > 0:40:35The record company, for some unknown reason, every time I said,
0:40:35 > 0:40:39"Please, can I do a Christmas album?" Even when I had number one
0:40:39 > 0:40:43and number two in the hit parade, they said no.
0:40:43 > 0:40:46I think they were afraid because of the voice.
0:40:46 > 0:40:49They couldn't imagine me singing Silent Night.
0:40:51 > 0:40:53# Silent night...! #
0:40:55 > 0:40:59Here's also what's special. You are both raising money
0:40:59 > 0:41:02- for charity with this record.- We are. - Blake, who are you raising money for?
0:41:02 > 0:41:05We're ambassadors for Variety, the children's charity,
0:41:05 > 0:41:07which is an amazing charity.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10And Dame Shirley's is Noah's Ark in Cardiff.
0:41:10 > 0:41:13My charity is a children's hospital in Cardiff.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17They have rooms for parents to stay overnight.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19That's really special. Good luck with the single. I really hope...
0:41:19 > 0:41:21AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:41:21 > 0:41:25I really hope it's number one. It'd be terrific.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27Hey, we probably have just enough time for a visit
0:41:27 > 0:41:28to the big red chair. Who's there?
0:41:28 > 0:41:31- Hello, sir!- Hi, there.- Hi, what's your name?- It's Ricardo.
0:41:31 > 0:41:32OK, what do you do?
0:41:32 > 0:41:35I am a facilitator in creative thinking and innovation.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37HE YAWNS
0:41:41 > 0:41:44Oh, I want a go in that chair!
0:41:44 > 0:41:45Let's try another one.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47Who's this, who's this?
0:41:47 > 0:41:51- Oh, hello.- Hello!- Hi, what's your name?- Hi, I'm Jo Popham.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52Jo Popham. OK...
0:41:55 > 0:41:58- That is your first name and surname, right?- Yes.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01OK, good, otherwise it's a really weird name.
0:42:01 > 0:42:03Jo Popham Smith!
0:42:03 > 0:42:05So, Jopopham...
0:42:05 > 0:42:07AUDIENCE LAUGHS
0:42:07 > 0:42:10Where are you from, Jopopham?
0:42:10 > 0:42:11Bookham in Surrey.
0:42:11 > 0:42:12Jopopham of Bookham!
0:42:14 > 0:42:20- What do you do?- Well, primarily a mum of three teenage kids, but also
0:42:20 > 0:42:23- cabin crew, or flight attendant for the Americans.- Uh-oh.
0:42:23 > 0:42:26Does your story involve anyone on our couch?
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Nope.
0:42:27 > 0:42:31OK. Good, let's go. Off you go with the story.
0:42:31 > 0:42:35So, quite a few years ago, back in the '90s, we were on a flight
0:42:35 > 0:42:40and we were told we were expecting a VIP passenger.
0:42:40 > 0:42:46And the VIP's manager came on board into the premier cabin, obviously,
0:42:46 > 0:42:49to prepare the seat for his employer.
0:42:49 > 0:42:53And with that, we were told it was Michael Jackson's manager.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56So he brought on all his things, was getting everything ready for him.
0:42:56 > 0:43:01And he had the red Thriller jacket and he hung it up in the first-class
0:43:01 > 0:43:04wardrobe and we were told to make sure to look after it
0:43:04 > 0:43:07and that nobody unauthorised came on board.
0:43:07 > 0:43:10So when he went off, I was always a bit naughty
0:43:10 > 0:43:12and I thought it would be really fun
0:43:12 > 0:43:14to get the jacket out of the wardrobe.
0:43:14 > 0:43:19As I was dancing around the cabin, doing the Thriller dance,
0:43:19 > 0:43:24the manager and Michael Jackson came back on board earlier than expected
0:43:24 > 0:43:28and caught me dancing around the cabin in the red Thriller jacket.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30That's a good story! You can walk, you can walk.
0:43:30 > 0:43:32AUDIENCE APPLAUDS
0:43:36 > 0:43:37Well done, everyone.
0:43:37 > 0:43:40If you'd like to join us on the show and have a go in the red chair,
0:43:40 > 0:43:43you can contact us via our website at this address.
0:43:43 > 0:43:47That's it for tonight. Please, a huge thank you to my guests,
