0:02:27 > 0:02:29APPLAUSE CONTINUES

0:02:31 > 0:02:34- Enjoy the drumroll. - Should've had the drumroll.

0:02:34 > 0:02:37It's not right. It's not right.

0:02:37 > 0:02:40- If you shuffle up a little bit there.- OK.- There you go.

0:02:40 > 0:02:42No, the drum roll's very rare, Mr Hanks.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44You have a chimpanzee back there,

0:02:44 > 0:02:46who's been trained to bang out a timpani.

0:02:46 > 0:02:49It's not right - everybody should get a drumroll.

0:02:49 > 0:02:52From now on, from now on. The look is quite startling.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Thank you, I'm trying to look like your chin.

0:02:54 > 0:02:56LAUGHTER

0:02:58 > 0:02:59Somebody asked - two people.

0:02:59 > 0:03:02I was at a restaurant and one person stopped by and said,

0:03:02 > 0:03:06"Mr Hanks, have you coloured your hair for a role?"

0:03:06 > 0:03:07I said, "Yes, I have."

0:03:07 > 0:03:09Another lady stopped by and said,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12"Mr Hanks, have you STOPPED colouring your hair...

0:03:12 > 0:03:14- LAUGHTER - "..for a role?"

0:03:14 > 0:03:17- I said, "Get her out!" - LAUGHTER

0:03:17 > 0:03:20- But you're... - I'm currently playing the...

0:03:20 > 0:03:24Sully Sullenberger, who landed the American Airways

0:03:24 > 0:03:27- passenger liner in the Hudson River a few years ago.- Wow.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- So, I'm making that movie right now...- Already, we want to see it.

0:03:30 > 0:03:32- APPLAUSE - Thank you.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34Er...

0:03:34 > 0:03:35Now, we have Doctor Who

0:03:35 > 0:03:39and David Walliams, very famous all over the world. But Peter Capaldi,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- you're coming to the end of your second season of Doctor Who.- Ah-ha.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46- How are you coping with that sort of fame?- Well, it's lovely.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48- It's sort of...- Is it really lovely?

0:03:48 > 0:03:49LAUGHTER

0:03:49 > 0:03:51Yes, it is.

0:03:51 > 0:03:57Because, er, you can see how, you know, the Doctor's a magical figure.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00He sort of, he exists more powerfully in the imagination

0:04:00 > 0:04:02than he does on the screen.

0:04:02 > 0:04:05So when they actually SEE you,

0:04:05 > 0:04:07in the street...

0:04:07 > 0:04:09kids, you know, they throw their arms around you.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12They are just so pleased to see this character.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15- It's delightful.- Presumably, everybody wants a picture with you?

0:04:15 > 0:04:18Yes. Well, largely, yeah...

0:04:18 > 0:04:21The whole selfie culture, I quite like selfies.

0:04:21 > 0:04:23I quite like it.

0:04:23 > 0:04:25But sometimes there's always someone on the fringes

0:04:25 > 0:04:27that you can see has the phone

0:04:27 > 0:04:30and sort of, you think, they want a selfie, don't they?

0:04:30 > 0:04:32Maybe I should ask them.

0:04:32 > 0:04:36Unfortunately sometimes you do ask them and they say, no.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38LAUGHTER

0:04:38 > 0:04:41It just makes you feel like crap, doesn't it?

0:04:41 > 0:04:44Doesn't it? But I bet it's never happened to you.

0:04:44 > 0:04:47David Walliams, when you meet the fans,

0:04:47 > 0:04:49at Q&As and things like that,

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- presumably they are quite random as an audience?- Yes.

0:04:52 > 0:04:54I went to a school in Manchester.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57One child said.... I said, "Ask anything you want."

0:04:57 > 0:05:00"If you were at the airport and your phone got stolen,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03- "what would you do?" - LAUGHTER

0:05:03 > 0:05:05Can we keep the questions about the book?

0:05:05 > 0:05:09I had a lady come up to me at, um,

0:05:09 > 0:05:13- Lakeside Thurrock shopping centre. Have you ever been there, Tom?- I...

0:05:13 > 0:05:15- tomorrow?- Yeah. - LAUGHTER

0:05:15 > 0:05:18- Do they have a book store? - We'll make a day of it.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21This lady came up, this elderly lady, and said,

0:05:21 > 0:05:23"We've got something in common."

0:05:23 > 0:05:25I was doing a book signing. I said, "Oh, right. What's that?"

0:05:25 > 0:05:27She said, "We've both swum the Channel"

0:05:27 > 0:05:30I said, "Wow. Congratulations, amazing."

0:05:30 > 0:05:32"Thank you very much. How did you find it? It was cold."

0:05:32 > 0:05:36"No, I didn't do mine in the sea, I did mine in the swimming pool."

0:05:36 > 0:05:37LAUGHTER

0:05:37 > 0:05:38I went, "Oh, right.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41"You swam the length of the Channel, 20 miles,

0:05:41 > 0:05:43"you did over a day in a swimming pool."

0:05:43 > 0:05:46"No, I did it over a series of weeks."

0:05:46 > 0:05:47LAUGHTER

0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Well, we've both been swimming. - LAUGHTER

0:05:53 > 0:05:55APPLAUSE

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Now, Tom, lots of your fans in the audience - must be fans everywhere.

0:06:02 > 0:06:03But is it always the same?

0:06:03 > 0:06:06What do people mostly ask you, mostly say to you

0:06:06 > 0:06:10- and shout out to you when they see you?- Oh, er...

0:06:10 > 0:06:13They used to yell, "Houston, we have a problem",

0:06:13 > 0:06:16they used to yell that. They yell, "Run, Forrest, run."

0:06:16 > 0:06:19That's a biggie. Now they just... they just yell...

0:06:21 > 0:06:25- "Wilson!" - APPLAUSE

0:06:25 > 0:06:27They yell a lot of Wilsons everywhere.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31And is it the same... is it the same everywhere?

0:06:31 > 0:06:34- If you're in, you know... - Yes, yes.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38Evidently, Wilson is a universal language word

0:06:38 > 0:06:41that they don't bother dubbing into any other language.

0:06:41 > 0:06:47So, it's in Hindi, it's in Japanese, China, "Wilson!"

0:06:47 > 0:06:48Pretty much all around the world.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50I didn't realise till you were coming this time,

0:06:50 > 0:06:52in Forrest Gump,

0:06:52 > 0:06:54the famous voice that you use as Forrest,

0:06:54 > 0:06:56it came from a specific person.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Young Michael Connor Humphreys, who played the young Forrest Gump,

0:06:59 > 0:07:00we were trying to...

0:07:00 > 0:07:04Bob Zemeckis came to me, said, "We got a problem on this!"

0:07:04 > 0:07:06There's Michael right there, Sally and Michael.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Ah.- He was a very young man.

0:07:08 > 0:07:10He's now a veteran - he served in Afghanistan.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12Bob said, "We got a problem here!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15"You got to teach this kid how to talk the way you want to talk."

0:07:15 > 0:07:19I thought, why don't I just talk the way he talks right now?

0:07:19 > 0:07:21So we started hanging out with him.

0:07:21 > 0:07:24He was from Mississippi, deep in Mississippi.

0:07:24 > 0:07:28He had this hard G at the end of his...

0:07:28 > 0:07:31It wasn't thinking, it was thin-kinga.

0:07:31 > 0:07:35It wasn't making, it was may-kinga.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37So, what does your father do, Michael?

0:07:37 > 0:07:42"My daddy makes ger-ease." That's what he said.

0:07:42 > 0:07:44He said...I don't understand this,

0:07:44 > 0:07:46is grease something you make? "Yees."

0:07:46 > 0:07:48He says, "What do you do with grease?"

0:07:48 > 0:07:52"Well, grease goes into all different sorts of pro-ducts."

0:07:52 > 0:07:53LAUGHTER

0:07:53 > 0:07:55"What products?"

0:07:55 > 0:07:58"Oh, grease goes into lip-sticks."

0:07:58 > 0:08:00LAUGHTER

0:08:00 > 0:08:04I was like, well I'm not...this is it, this is it.

0:08:04 > 0:08:06Somewhere I have cassettes,

0:08:06 > 0:08:10hours and hours of me just making chitchat with a very young Michael.

0:08:10 > 0:08:13- But he doesn't talk like that any more?- No, no. It was just...

0:08:13 > 0:08:16He was seven, eight years old, he was a young man,

0:08:16 > 0:08:19and that was the vernacular that we spoke and it was priceless.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22That's adorable and of course, a huge success for you.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26And the year you won your, that was your second Oscar, wasn't it, Forrest Gump?

0:08:26 > 0:08:28- Well, yes... - Yes, it was, if I must mention it.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31- Er...- Let me put it this way, it was my last one.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33LAUGHTER

0:08:33 > 0:08:35- How about that? - But it was in 1995

0:08:35 > 0:08:37and that was a very special year

0:08:37 > 0:08:40- for the man sitting beside you, Peter Capaldi.- This is what I understand.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- Because that was the year YOU won an Oscar.- We were there together.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45I won an Oscar, yes, for a little, a short film.

0:08:45 > 0:08:48I didn't even know that they gave Oscars for short films.

0:08:48 > 0:08:49But I'd made this little short film,

0:08:49 > 0:08:51because I was interested in film-making.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54And the next thing I knew I was being telephoned

0:08:54 > 0:08:56and being told that you're nominated for an Oscar.

0:08:56 > 0:08:59We didn't even have any money, we didn't know how to get over there,

0:08:59 > 0:09:02we managed to cobble together enough money to get over there

0:09:02 > 0:09:05and we found ourselves at the Oscars, with yourself...

0:09:05 > 0:09:08- How about that? - ..and lots of other film stars

0:09:08 > 0:09:10and they called my name.

0:09:10 > 0:09:12And I got up on the stage, I looked down,

0:09:12 > 0:09:14it was a huge auditorium, like this.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17It looked to me as if it was full of, you know,

0:09:17 > 0:09:20an Arnold Schwarzenegger lookalike...

0:09:20 > 0:09:22a Steve Martin lookalike, a Tom Hanks lookalike,

0:09:22 > 0:09:24except it was the real thing.

0:09:24 > 0:09:26It was, sort of, orgasmic.

0:09:26 > 0:09:28I don't know how it was for you! For me...

0:09:28 > 0:09:31- LAUGHTER - ..it was orgasmic.

0:09:33 > 0:09:36- But I knew it... - It was my last orgasm...

0:09:36 > 0:09:38LAUGHTER

0:09:38 > 0:09:40But I knew as well it wouldn't last,

0:09:40 > 0:09:43because, obviously, when you've just made a little short film,

0:09:43 > 0:09:46it doesn't have quite the same impact on your career.

0:09:46 > 0:09:49And also, I was an actor, so that just confused everyone.

0:09:49 > 0:09:50But three billion people saw you.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Yeah, but as you know, they take you backstage

0:09:53 > 0:09:56and they put you on a, kind of conveyor belt

0:09:56 > 0:09:58and they take you into a hangar,

0:09:58 > 0:10:00which has got the world's press in it

0:10:00 > 0:10:01and they put you on a stage

0:10:01 > 0:10:05and all those pictures you see of people holding up their Oscar, they're taken on that stage.

0:10:05 > 0:10:09Then they say, "Would anyone like to talk to Peter Capaldi,

0:10:09 > 0:10:12"winner of the Short Film for 1995?"

0:10:13 > 0:10:15LAUGHTER

0:10:16 > 0:10:18Nobody. Not...

0:10:18 > 0:10:21I mean, seriously, not one person.

0:10:21 > 0:10:24As the tumbleweeds blew through... my life.

0:10:24 > 0:10:26Have you been at the Oscars?

0:10:26 > 0:10:28Were you going to say, have you got an Oscar?

0:10:28 > 0:10:32- Yes, have you, David?- I think so... - LAUGHTER

0:10:32 > 0:10:35What is the theme of this show if you don't have one?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37I've probably got one.

0:10:37 > 0:10:40- It looks like they're pretty easy to get, David...- Yeah...

0:10:40 > 0:10:42LAUGHTER Have you been, though? Have you been?

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Course I haven't been. Why would I go to the Oscars?

0:10:44 > 0:10:47- It's great, isn't it? - It is so great...

0:10:47 > 0:10:48LAUGHTER

0:10:48 > 0:10:52You get all that great free stuff, chat with Jane Fonda...

0:10:52 > 0:10:53I got to tell you, whatever,

0:10:53 > 0:10:56even if you just win for a short film, they treat you...

0:10:56 > 0:10:58LAUGHTER

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Did you get the gift basket with all the goodies?

0:11:02 > 0:11:05It was actually before I was born that you were there!

0:11:05 > 0:11:06LAUGHTER

0:11:06 > 0:11:08- 1995!?- Yeah...

0:11:09 > 0:11:14We were booked on economy to come back to London,

0:11:14 > 0:11:16cos obviously we'd done this off our own back,

0:11:16 > 0:11:19and I thought, if I turn up at the airport,

0:11:19 > 0:11:23at Los Angeles Airport and place my Oscar,

0:11:23 > 0:11:24surely I'll get upgraded.

0:11:24 > 0:11:26- I didn't.- Oh... - LAUGHTER

0:11:26 > 0:11:28And we were put in economy, it was great,

0:11:28 > 0:11:32- we handed round, everybody in economy held up the Oscar.- Ah!

0:11:32 > 0:11:34It was like A Night At The Opera.

0:11:34 > 0:11:36It was like, all the people in the Titanic underneath,

0:11:36 > 0:11:40all the poor people waving an Oscar. It was great.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42We've enjoyed the Oscar chat, but let's...

0:11:42 > 0:11:44LAUGHTER

0:11:44 > 0:11:46Have you ever won anything?

0:11:46 > 0:11:47LAUGHTER

0:11:49 > 0:11:51APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:11:51 > 0:11:52I did, yeah.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57Did you have perfect attendance in school?

0:11:57 > 0:12:00I did, actually. I did, I got an award for that. So, yes.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02He won the hearts of the nation

0:12:02 > 0:12:05- when he swam the Channel for charity.- Done that? Done that?

0:12:05 > 0:12:06APPLAUSE

0:12:06 > 0:12:08Yeah, you done that?

0:12:10 > 0:12:11Ah-ha.

0:12:11 > 0:12:14Now, listen, Tom Hanks, you bring us a fabulous new movie,

0:12:14 > 0:12:17- your latest collaboration with Steven Spielberg.- Mm-hm.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19Bridge Of Spies. It opens next Thursday.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21- Mark Rylance, there as well. - Oh, yes.

0:12:21 > 0:12:24That man is destined for great things, I must say, Mark Rylance.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27This movie, Bridge Of Spies, I love when this happens,

0:12:27 > 0:12:29when a film can shine a spotlight

0:12:29 > 0:12:33on a story that has slipped through the cracks of history,

0:12:33 > 0:12:36- a story that we should all know, this story?- Well, yes.

0:12:36 > 0:12:39Francis Gary Powers, that's part of the...

0:12:39 > 0:12:41he was the U-2 pilot that was shot over the Soviet Union.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43At first, America said,

0:12:43 > 0:12:46we don't have anybody flying over the Soviet Union.

0:12:46 > 0:12:50Then they said, well, yes, you do. Then we had to cop to it.

0:12:50 > 0:12:52I did not know the story of James Donovan,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56the lawyer that I played that helped facilitate the spy exchange,

0:12:56 > 0:12:59because he had, he'd defended a Soviet spy

0:12:59 > 0:13:01that had been in the United States for 15 years.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04He kept him from the electric chair

0:13:04 > 0:13:06and got him off so that he could live

0:13:06 > 0:13:10and live in order to be exchanged in a classic Cold War moment,

0:13:10 > 0:13:13you know, across the border with East Germany,

0:13:13 > 0:13:14with the American pilot.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17But it is extraordinary, because he was...

0:13:17 > 0:13:20It's a true story and we're very authentic to what actually happened.

0:13:20 > 0:13:23This man was plucked, he was an insurance lawyer?

0:13:23 > 0:13:26- He was a very heroic insurance lawyer, damn you...- OK!

0:13:26 > 0:13:30..as all insurance lawyers are. I think we can all agree with that.

0:13:30 > 0:13:33He had actually been, er, the prosecution team

0:13:33 > 0:13:35for the Nuremberg war trials.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38In the United States, everybody gets a lawyer,

0:13:38 > 0:13:40so he just got this assignment.

0:13:40 > 0:13:42You are going to defend this spy and he did

0:13:42 > 0:13:44and he did such a good job of it

0:13:44 > 0:13:47that when the time game for the spy exchange, the CIA said,

0:13:47 > 0:13:50"We need you to go over and make this work for us.

0:13:50 > 0:13:53"You're going to take this guy and get our guy back."

0:13:53 > 0:13:54This is a clip.

0:13:54 > 0:13:56This is, it's near the beginning of the film

0:13:56 > 0:13:58and it's where we discover that your character and the CIA

0:13:58 > 0:14:02- have very different ideas of how to defend a Russian spy.- Exactly.

0:14:02 > 0:14:04We need to know.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Don't go boy scout on me.

0:14:08 > 0:14:09We don't have a rule book here.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13You're Agent Hoffman, yeah?

0:14:13 > 0:14:14Yeah.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16German extraction?

0:14:16 > 0:14:17Yeah, so?

0:14:17 > 0:14:22My name's Donovan, Irish, both sides, mother and father.

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I'm Irish. You're German.

0:14:25 > 0:14:27But what makes us both Americans?

0:14:27 > 0:14:29Just one thing.

0:14:30 > 0:14:31One. One, one.

0:14:32 > 0:14:33The rule book.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38We call it the Constitution and we agree to the rules

0:14:38 > 0:14:39and that's what makes us Americans.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42It's all that makes us Americans, so don't tell us there's no rule book.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44And don't nod at me like that, you son of a bitch.

0:14:50 > 0:14:52- CHEERING - There you go!

0:14:52 > 0:14:56- Does that not look rock 'em, sock 'em and action packed?- Sure!

0:14:56 > 0:14:58And I gotta tell ya!

0:14:58 > 0:15:03We had so many quiet scenes of talking over a cocktail in a bar,

0:15:03 > 0:15:06it's going to hold you by the edge of your seat.

0:15:06 > 0:15:09Scene after scene of quiet cocktail chatter.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11- Oh, it's hard to pick a clip!- No, no!

0:15:11 > 0:15:14- That's actually very evocative of much of the movie.- Yeah.

0:15:14 > 0:15:17- Now, this is the fourth time...- Yeah. - ..working with Steven Spielberg.

0:15:17 > 0:15:22- So, at this point, like, does he direct you or...?- Oh, yeah.- OK.

0:15:22 > 0:15:25Well, he wants everybody to come in with ideas.

0:15:25 > 0:15:27He wants you to have something.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30Oh, there we are, Mark Rylance is just off camera left there.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32He wants everybody to come with ideas

0:15:32 > 0:15:34that are beyond what's in the script.

0:15:34 > 0:15:38I did some reading at one point and I said, "Hey, I got an idea.

0:15:38 > 0:15:42"Can I play a cold, because it turns out James Donovan,

0:15:42 > 0:15:44"on the flight over to Berlin -

0:15:44 > 0:15:48"it was an unprotected uninsulated military aircraft -

0:15:48 > 0:15:51"and he got a vicious cold and, for four days, he had a stuffed-up head

0:15:51 > 0:15:53"and a sore throat, he was really sick,"

0:15:53 > 0:15:57and he said, "Yeah, that's great! You'll have the cold to begin with

0:15:57 > 0:16:01"and then, at the end, Hoffman will have your cold, see?

0:16:01 > 0:16:04"You'll have a cold and you'll give it to the CIA!"

0:16:04 > 0:16:06So that's the kind of stuff he does all the time. And then, he runs up

0:16:06 > 0:16:09saying, "Ooh! This is great! This is great! What a great idea!"

0:16:09 > 0:16:14"I didn't do anything! I'm glad the boss liked it."

0:16:14 > 0:16:17Peter, about directing - will you ever go back to directing?

0:16:17 > 0:16:19- Cos, you know! - Um, I may do, eventually.

0:16:19 > 0:16:22The trouble with directing is it takes up so much time,

0:16:22 > 0:16:25you know, and I really like acting. I really like being in it.

0:16:25 > 0:16:28And you can do an acting job in three months or something,

0:16:28 > 0:16:31whereas, when you're a director, it takes you a year to do a project,

0:16:31 > 0:16:32another year to get it together.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35- So I... - Maybe if you did a short film?

0:16:35 > 0:16:36LAUGHTER

0:16:40 > 0:16:41APPLAUSE

0:16:41 > 0:16:46- But you could start at the top. - Who knows what could happen?!

0:16:46 > 0:16:48Er, now, I just want to talk about

0:16:48 > 0:16:52- the first film you made with Steven Spielberg, Saving Private Ryan.- OK.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54- AUDIENCE MEMBER: Whoo! - Yes! Yeah.

0:16:54 > 0:16:56APPLAUSE GRAHAM: Whoo!

0:16:56 > 0:16:58Is that the toughest shoot you've ever done?

0:16:58 > 0:17:00Cos, I mean, that first 20 minutes,

0:17:00 > 0:17:02- as an audience member, it's gruelling.- Oh!

0:17:02 > 0:17:05We, um... Let me tell you a story.

0:17:05 > 0:17:07I don't know if... There's a gentleman in...

0:17:07 > 0:17:11Oh, there he is. I think he's right between us.

0:17:11 > 0:17:14- See the fella? Go up, up, up. That fella right there.- Yeah?

0:17:14 > 0:17:19I believe, um, we had the scene in which

0:17:19 > 0:17:22we had to go over the side of the landing craft,

0:17:22 > 0:17:26land in the water, struggle up to the shore.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30And then, that gentleman was going to get shot in the chest.

0:17:30 > 0:17:33- Right?- OK.- So we're chatting and I said, "How are you?"

0:17:33 > 0:17:35"Very good, Mr Hanks, very good." "Oh, you're English?"

0:17:35 > 0:17:38- "Oh, yes, yes, I am." - LAUGHTER

0:17:38 > 0:17:40"Have you done many movies before?"

0:17:40 > 0:17:42"No, no, this is my first. This is my first film."

0:17:42 > 0:17:44"Really? Your first movie is with Steven Spielberg?"

0:17:44 > 0:17:46- "Yes, yes, it's very exciting." - LAUGHTER

0:17:46 > 0:17:48I said, "Great. You know what we're doing?"

0:17:48 > 0:17:50"I have been told. I have been briefed."

0:17:50 > 0:17:54I said, "OK, so, once this starts, we go over into the water, right?

0:17:54 > 0:17:55"Are you going to be OK?"

0:17:55 > 0:17:57"Actually, no, I'm not very comfortable in the water."

0:17:57 > 0:17:59LAUGHTER

0:17:59 > 0:18:03I said, "Well, you're just out of luck, my friend,

0:18:03 > 0:18:05"cos we're going over the side and I believe...

0:18:05 > 0:18:08"I think it's shallow enough that we can walk up."

0:18:08 > 0:18:11"Yeah, I hope so too, because I really don't swim very well!"

0:18:11 > 0:18:14I said, "OK, all right!" So we did that

0:18:14 > 0:18:16and we made it that far and now, we're soaking wet

0:18:16 > 0:18:19and we're very cold and we're fighting hypothermia.

0:18:19 > 0:18:22And a special effects fellow comes up and says,

0:18:22 > 0:18:24"All right, guv'nor, we have to rib a squib on you now.

0:18:24 > 0:18:27"Don't worry! This is an electric energy pack, battery's right here.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30"What I'm going to ask you, when the charge goes up, mate,

0:18:30 > 0:18:32"please don't look down, because it might get up in your eyes

0:18:32 > 0:18:34"and it could blind you. All right, off we go."

0:18:34 > 0:18:36LAUGHTER

0:18:36 > 0:18:40So, so now, this fellow, and it's freezing cold,

0:18:40 > 0:18:44and some guy...and, of course, then he gets blown and then he dies,

0:18:44 > 0:18:47- and that was his first day of making a movie.- Wow!

0:18:47 > 0:18:49God bless the gentleman, he was fantastic.

0:18:49 > 0:18:51- APPLAUSE - Wonderful job he did.

0:18:54 > 0:18:57Oddly, I think you would like... David Walliams has many books out,

0:18:57 > 0:19:00but the one at the moment is connected to World War II.

0:19:00 > 0:19:03- It is, it's called Grandpa's Great Escape.- I have a copy.

0:19:03 > 0:19:05And you did proper research?

0:19:05 > 0:19:08I did do research, yes, and I actually went up in a Spitfire.

0:19:08 > 0:19:10I think we've got a picture of you on a Spitfire.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13- Because it's about... - LAUGHTER

0:19:13 > 0:19:14..an ex-World War II pilot.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17You look very jaunty.

0:19:17 > 0:19:19- What does jaunty mean? - Well, something about...

0:19:19 > 0:19:22- You could've said handsome! - Handsome!- But you said jaunty?

0:19:22 > 0:19:24LAUGHTER Well, just because you...

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I mean, could you just say masculine or something?

0:19:28 > 0:19:31- No, I couldn't say that.- No? OK.

0:19:31 > 0:19:33LAUGHTER

0:19:33 > 0:19:36- "You look very jaunty!" - Yes. I could've said handsome.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38This is me just trying to look cool.

0:19:38 > 0:19:40Yes, I went up in a Spitfire to do some research,

0:19:40 > 0:19:43cos I have to explain what it's like to fly in a Spitfire.

0:19:43 > 0:19:46And it's about a grandfather who still thinks he's in World War II,

0:19:46 > 0:19:49he's actually got dementia, and he goes on an adventure with his

0:19:49 > 0:19:53- grandson and they steal a Spitfire from the Imperial War Museum.- Wow.

0:19:53 > 0:19:55And this has already been number one,

0:19:55 > 0:19:58it's probably going to be number one again for Christmas, cos...

0:19:58 > 0:20:00- After this show! - Well, everyone loves your books!

0:20:00 > 0:20:04If Tom Hanks held it up to his face, I think it could be!

0:20:04 > 0:20:06CHEERING

0:20:09 > 0:20:11APPLAUSE

0:20:14 > 0:20:18- While...- Tom, there's another one! Tom! Tom! There's another one!

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Put that one down, there's another one for you.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25- While you're enjoying that, we can be reading The Bear Who Went Boo.- Boo!

0:20:25 > 0:20:28- And this is... - This is for the younger children.

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Now, we don't want to get bogged down in plot, but what's it about?

0:20:31 > 0:20:34- Er, um... - LAUGHTER

0:20:34 > 0:20:36It's... Well...

0:20:36 > 0:20:40- There's a bear, er, a polar bear...- Mm-hm?

0:20:40 > 0:20:45..and one of the things he enjoys doing is saying boo to people.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47And it was actually inspired by my son, actually,

0:20:47 > 0:20:48because he likes going boo to people.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51- So I wrote it for him, really. - And no-one could deny your success.

0:20:51 > 0:20:54- As I said, it's getting on to 9 million books now.- Mm-hm.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57- But why did you...?- Really? Well done!- I know, 9 million books!

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- APPLAUSE - That's, um... That's Tom.

0:21:01 > 0:21:03Thank you. Yeah, well...

0:21:03 > 0:21:05Why did you think of doing it? How did you know...?

0:21:05 > 0:21:08I just had an idea for a story, cos the first book is called

0:21:08 > 0:21:10The Boy In The Dress, and I just had an idea for a story -

0:21:10 > 0:21:13"What would happen if a boy went to school dressed as a girl?

0:21:13 > 0:21:16"How would his friends react? How would his family react?"

0:21:16 > 0:21:18and I wrote that story, it did well

0:21:18 > 0:21:22and then I just kept writing them and that's the eighth novel.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24And, presumably, you're working on more now?

0:21:24 > 0:21:27Yes, because the publisher very much always wants you to write more...

0:21:27 > 0:21:30- Yes!- ..if they've done well, so yeah, I'm writing all the time,

0:21:30 > 0:21:33but I actually love it and, er, the thing about a children's book

0:21:33 > 0:21:36is the only limits are your own imagination,

0:21:36 > 0:21:39because you can go anywhere, because, in a children's book,

0:21:39 > 0:21:42you can take children on an almost incredible fantastical journey

0:21:42 > 0:21:44that you probably can't so much in a book for adults.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47And what's great about kids is, one, they're very loyal.

0:21:47 > 0:21:51- Once they like your books, they love your books.- But they do grow up.

0:21:51 > 0:21:53- Yeah, but...- Which is annoying! - LAUGHTER

0:21:53 > 0:21:56If we could keep these children in the 8-12 bracket,

0:21:56 > 0:22:00- they would keep buying them. - Well, there'll always be more.- Yes.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02They have a tendency, cos people out there, they're only,

0:22:02 > 0:22:05like, 8-12 years away from having a child that will read your book.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08- Good point, good point.- Yes! - Thank you, Tom, good point.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11- Thanks for clearing that up. - Yeah, well, here's how it works.

0:22:11 > 0:22:13LAUGHTER

0:22:13 > 0:22:16APPLAUSE AND LAUGHTER

0:22:16 > 0:22:18I'm not going to go there, sorry.

0:22:18 > 0:22:21But no, in terms of children's entertainment, though,

0:22:21 > 0:22:25- can anything ever top Toy Story, ladies and gentlemen?- Oh, dear!

0:22:25 > 0:22:27- CHEERING - Oh, there we are!

0:22:27 > 0:22:30- There you are, but... - There's Tim Allen!- Tim Allen!

0:22:30 > 0:22:32- Tim Allen, the voice of Buzz... - Yeah!

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Last time I saw him, he was giving me an Oscar!

0:22:35 > 0:22:39But the weird thing is that that is so loved, but children,

0:22:39 > 0:22:41when they see you walking down the street, they don't know.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44Countless elevator rides, I'll be in the elevator

0:22:44 > 0:22:48and a mother and child will get on, and the mother will say,

0:22:48 > 0:22:51"It's Woody!" And I'm standing there.

0:22:51 > 0:22:53LAUGHTER

0:22:53 > 0:22:55"It's Woody!"

0:22:55 > 0:22:56And the kid's going...

0:22:58 > 0:23:03And then, the mother tries to explain, "No, the voice is recorded

0:23:03 > 0:23:06"and the actor who is the voice, this is the actor!"

0:23:06 > 0:23:08The kids just don't get it at all.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11They say, "Where's the vest? Where's the cowboy hat?

0:23:11 > 0:23:15"You're not very tall!" And so, I say, "All right, close your eyes."

0:23:15 > 0:23:17And they go, "What?!" "Just close your eyes!"

0:23:17 > 0:23:19- And the kid goes... - LAUGHTER

0:23:19 > 0:23:22Then, I say, "We've gotta get back to Andy's room right away, guys!"

0:23:22 > 0:23:24And then, they go...

0:23:24 > 0:23:27- LAUGHTER Aw!- I really love that one.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30- And...- Because the little kids, they're the most..

0:23:30 > 0:23:33- They're the best.- They love it. - They can't believe it.

0:23:33 > 0:23:35But, for you, it must be lovely to make a film in that way,

0:23:35 > 0:23:38so that you can watch it like an audience member.

0:23:38 > 0:23:41Oh, it's very hard work, animating these films.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Honestly, they are, because Woody... "Woody!"

0:23:45 > 0:23:48He's like this and the recording sessions go on for four or

0:23:48 > 0:23:52five hours, so I always come out of recording Toy Story sessions...

0:23:52 > 0:23:54We're now recording Toy Story 4,

0:23:54 > 0:23:56- so we're doing that.- Is it done? CHEERING

0:23:56 > 0:24:00It'll be out in 2018, as a matter of fact. It takes a long time.

0:24:00 > 0:24:03But my diaphragm gets a workout, because the...

0:24:03 > 0:24:07- HE GRUNTS AND PANTS:- "The ent... The entire... Guys, come on!"

0:24:07 > 0:24:09- LAUGHTER - By the time I'm leaving,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12I'm driving home and I literally have to put an ice chest

0:24:12 > 0:24:16on my diaphragm, just so I can go home, cos it's clenched throughout.

0:24:16 > 0:24:20- Wow! So Toy Story 4, that's it?- Um, we are working on it right now, yes.

0:24:20 > 0:24:21- AUDIENCE GASPS - Yeah.

0:24:21 > 0:24:24Well, I have a recording session on the 2nd of December.

0:24:24 > 0:24:27- I love that, that noise in the audience.- That's lovely!

0:24:27 > 0:24:29- "Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!"- You know, um...

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Somebody stuck a microphone in my face at some point at something

0:24:32 > 0:24:35and said, "Is there going to be a Toy Story 4?"

0:24:35 > 0:24:37And I said, "Yeah, yeah, I think so!"

0:24:37 > 0:24:41And I got a call from the Disney lawyers the next day.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44They said, "You, contractually, are not allowed to discuss

0:24:44 > 0:24:46"Toy Story 4, it will affect the stock market price

0:24:46 > 0:24:49"of the Disney common stock, so you are no longer..."

0:24:49 > 0:24:51I said, "Hey, I'm sorry!

0:24:51 > 0:24:55"But let me just point out - I'm Woody, pal!"

0:24:55 > 0:24:57LAUGHTER

0:24:57 > 0:24:59- APPLAUSE - "I'll say whatever I want!"

0:25:00 > 0:25:02Aw. Well, now, er...

0:25:02 > 0:25:05Children everywhere can rejoice, because Doctor Who

0:25:05 > 0:25:09continues on Saturday nights on BBC One and tomorrow night's...

0:25:09 > 0:25:12Ooh, it's a big episode tomorrow night, isn't it, Peter?

0:25:12 > 0:25:14- It's a sad one, yes, it's, er... - It's very sad.- It's very sad.

0:25:14 > 0:25:16It's very gripping and very strange.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21It's about mysterious streets that can only be seen if you stand...

0:25:21 > 0:25:24lost streets, they're called trapped streets, and you can only see them

0:25:24 > 0:25:27if you stand in a very specific place, but aliens live in them,

0:25:27 > 0:25:31er, and they're in every city and we discover one.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34But it's the end of the line for Clara Oswald,

0:25:34 > 0:25:38played by Jenna Coleman, who's been by companion for the last two years.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40- She go bye-bye?- She's, er... - LAUGHTER

0:25:40 > 0:25:42It's the end of her story.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45- I don't want to go into the details of it, but...- Is it too upsetting?

0:25:45 > 0:25:47- It's, er... It's... - LAUGHTER

0:25:47 > 0:25:48It's sad. It's sad.

0:25:48 > 0:25:51And have you got a new assistant?

0:25:51 > 0:25:53- I might have. - Is it like, is it like a dog?

0:25:53 > 0:25:55You put one to sleep, then just immediately get a puppy?

0:25:55 > 0:25:57- LAUGHTER - No, it's not like a... No, no.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00- "Jenna's gone to the big film set in the sky!"- That's right!

0:26:00 > 0:26:03This is Maisie Williams. No, is Maisie Williams your new assistant?

0:26:05 > 0:26:07You are so not allowed to talk about this!

0:26:07 > 0:26:09I can't talk about stuff like that.

0:26:09 > 0:26:12- Maisie's great, though, Maisie's in the show.- We know she's in it!

0:26:12 > 0:26:16She's fantastic! She's been in Game of Thrones since she was 12.

0:26:16 > 0:26:19- Wow!- Get out! Really?- And she had her 18th birthday on our show

0:26:19 > 0:26:22and she's very, very assured, you know, and I was...

0:26:22 > 0:26:26You know, we were doing a shot with her and, er, you're me, I'm Maisie,

0:26:26 > 0:26:29and they said, "Action!" and she went like this.

0:26:29 > 0:26:31- LAUGHTER - I said, "What are you doing?"

0:26:31 > 0:26:33She said, "You're in my light."

0:26:33 > 0:26:34LAUGHTER

0:26:34 > 0:26:37That's cos she's been doing this other big show since she was 12,

0:26:37 > 0:26:39but she's lovely, but she's 18,

0:26:39 > 0:26:41so she speaks a completely unknown language.

0:26:41 > 0:26:46Er, so she would teach me cool new things to say, like, er,

0:26:46 > 0:26:47she was going to Glastonbury

0:26:47 > 0:26:50and she was going to see Florence And The Machine

0:26:50 > 0:26:52and she said, "They're really... They're ape!"

0:26:52 > 0:26:55which, apparently, "ape" means great!

0:26:55 > 0:26:57And so it's the new "sick!"

0:26:57 > 0:26:59LAUGHTER

0:26:59 > 0:27:02- Which has taken over from "wicked". - Yes.- Yes.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06- And I only have very old, antiquated...- Ape, yes!- Ape!

0:27:06 > 0:27:08"Ape, dear! Yes!"

0:27:08 > 0:27:11- "We understand that, don't we? Yes!" - LAUGHTER

0:27:11 > 0:27:13Well, we have an exclusive clip. She's not in it.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- She's not in it.- Er... LAUGHTER

0:27:15 > 0:27:18No, this is an exclusive clip of tomorrow night's episode

0:27:18 > 0:27:24and this is Doctor and Clara flying in the TARDIS high over London.

0:27:24 > 0:27:26The glasses are tracking your eye movements.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28Just keep looking straight down and...

0:27:28 > 0:27:32I know! Focus on the buildings directly below me.

0:27:34 > 0:27:38Whatever they're using, it only hides the street itself.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41It prevents you from noticing there's even something missing.

0:27:41 > 0:27:44They're somehow making our eyes skate right over it.

0:27:44 > 0:27:46Let's call it a misdirection circuit.

0:27:46 > 0:27:48RUMBLING

0:27:51 > 0:27:52SHE SCREAMS

0:28:18 > 0:28:22Tell me about it. It's an ongoing problem. Here.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25CHEERING

0:28:26 > 0:28:28She may fall. She may fall.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Have you ever done any of that acting? That...

0:28:32 > 0:28:34- Oh, that kind of thing?- It's great, isn't it?- No, but I think

0:28:34 > 0:28:37I was in London when you were shooting that, because I saw...

0:28:37 > 0:28:38LAUGHTER

0:28:38 > 0:28:42Now, listen, Tom Hanks, you're famous for being lovely to fans,

0:28:42 > 0:28:45- er, that you're very nice... - I tried to be, yeah.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- You're very good.- I try to be. - And, David, you're a big fan,

0:28:48 > 0:28:50- but someone else in your family is also a very big fan.- Yes.

0:28:50 > 0:28:52My mum's a big fan and we were in a restaurant,

0:28:52 > 0:28:55in the River Cafe, probably about seven years ago.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59And my mum had drunk a bit too much and she suddenly felt a bit ill and

0:28:59 > 0:29:02I led her outside to the tables and you were sat at one of the tables...

0:29:02 > 0:29:05- Ooh.- ..and she stopped dead and I had to sort of drag her,

0:29:05 > 0:29:08like you would a donkey on a beach, away from you.

0:29:08 > 0:29:10- She was so excited to see you. - Well, how ill was she?

0:29:10 > 0:29:13- You could've stopped by. - She may have thrown up over you!

0:29:13 > 0:29:15- Well, that would not have been... - LAUGHTER

0:29:15 > 0:29:17- She's here. - She's in the audience.- Tonight.

0:29:49 > 0:29:51- Have you been smoking? - No.- You haven't been smoking?

0:29:51 > 0:29:54All right, all right! She's a good mum, isn't she?

0:29:54 > 0:29:56- She's a very good mum. - Look at your boy!

0:29:56 > 0:29:58- Ain't you proud of your lad down there?- I'm very proud.

0:30:42 > 0:30:45Now, listen, it is time for music.

0:30:45 > 0:30:48And, I hesitate to ask, cos this is a sort of little-known thing.

0:30:48 > 0:30:52I didn't know, but you are a recording artist.

0:30:52 > 0:30:54- Oh, dear. - LAUGHTER

0:31:52 > 0:31:55believe it or not, yeah, yeah! Choreographed by Paula Abdul.

0:31:55 > 0:32:00And it, er, it was the first thing I'd ever seen on YouTube,

0:32:00 > 0:32:03because my kids were asking about it one day and they said,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06"Dad, we gotta see this stupid thing! Where is it?"

0:32:06 > 0:32:09I said, "Oh, it's on a VHS tape somewhere buried in the basement,"

0:32:09 > 0:32:12and they pulled out YouTube very quick and there it was.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15So my kids now can torture me with this thing.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18- All right. Well, thank you very much for doing that.- Yeah!

0:32:53 > 0:32:56# You might have gone walking by

0:32:58 > 0:33:01# Without a second look

0:33:03 > 0:33:05# Any other way

0:33:05 > 0:33:08# But I'm still mystified

0:33:10 > 0:33:12# I'm just trying to change my luck

0:33:14 > 0:33:17# Staring out the world

0:33:17 > 0:33:20# Awaiting for the one

0:33:58 > 0:34:06# What are the cha-a-ances?

0:34:13 > 0:34:15# Playing with your life

0:34:15 > 0:34:18# Or is it destiny...

0:34:20 > 0:34:22# ..which sets you on a path?

0:34:24 > 0:34:26# Is it out of choice

0:34:26 > 0:34:30# That you're here next to me?

0:34:31 > 0:34:34# Or just the aftermath...

0:34:36 > 0:34:39# ..of moments as they pass?

0:34:40 > 0:34:45# So...

0:34:45 > 0:34:49# What are the chances?

0:37:00 > 0:37:02If you... OVERLAPPING CHATTER

0:37:02 > 0:37:05- TOM HANKS:- It's a good life lesson. - We want to know about that.- Yeah?

0:37:05 > 0:37:07Don't squeeze too far. There we go, OK.

0:37:07 > 0:37:10It came to pass, because, the very first time I came to London,

0:37:10 > 0:37:13the football scores were on in the morning

0:37:13 > 0:37:16and it was all these cities I didn't quite understand.

0:37:16 > 0:37:18Where is Stoke? Where is...where is Blatsworth?

0:37:18 > 0:37:20Where is Slough? I didn't know.

0:37:20 > 0:37:23And then along came the score. "And Aston Villa..."

0:37:23 > 0:37:25I said, "Aston Villa!

0:37:25 > 0:37:28"What a beautiful-sounding vacation paradise!"

0:37:28 > 0:37:29LAUGHTER

0:37:29 > 0:37:32- It seems so Roman!- Yeah, it does! - Slightly Roman!

0:37:32 > 0:37:34Lay in the sun and they'll bring me a pina colada

0:37:34 > 0:37:37and I'll just spend two weeks in Aston Villa.

0:37:37 > 0:37:38LAUGHTER

0:37:38 > 0:37:42- If only you knew. Well, you do now! - Well, I do now, yeah!

0:37:42 > 0:37:44- And I'm still with them! - Yeah!- In and out.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47- Unlucky! - LAUGHTER

0:37:47 > 0:37:50Er, Paper Gods is the new album, which is out now!

0:37:50 > 0:37:54On this album, you've collaborated with other people, haven't you?

0:37:54 > 0:37:55- Like Mark Ronson, people like that?- Yeah.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57Now, I read somewhere - who was resistant?

0:37:57 > 0:37:59Who thought, "We must not collaborate,

0:37:59 > 0:38:01"we are Duran Duran, keep it pure"?

0:38:01 > 0:38:05Well, I've been...I've been holding on to the microphone very jealously

0:38:05 > 0:38:08- for about 30 years, maybe more. - It's call job insecurity.

0:38:08 > 0:38:10- LAUGHTER - Yeah. And, um...

0:38:10 > 0:38:12I just, I never wanted...

0:38:12 > 0:38:15Whenever you do a collaboration, it's always a vocal collaboration,

0:38:15 > 0:38:17and I just thought I'm going to get sidelined

0:38:17 > 0:38:19and end up the backing vocalist of Duran Duran.

0:38:19 > 0:38:21Nothing wrong with the backing vocals, by the way.

0:38:21 > 0:38:24- LAUGHTER - But, um...- See, they're gone!

0:38:25 > 0:38:27Not on the couch, are they? No!

0:38:27 > 0:38:29LAUGHTER

0:38:29 > 0:38:33Even the drummer made it with his own stool, but he made it!

0:38:34 > 0:38:36- APPLAUSE - We could use some drums!

0:38:36 > 0:38:38That's what happens when you're the drummer!

0:38:39 > 0:38:42And it's not just an album, there's going to be a tour.

0:38:42 > 0:38:44And what's it like touring now?

0:38:44 > 0:38:47It must be very different to touring before.

0:38:47 > 0:38:51Well, when we used to get stuck on the motorway in the snow,

0:38:51 > 0:38:54we'd have to find a red phone box, stop the car,

0:38:54 > 0:38:56get out, someone would get into the phone box

0:38:56 > 0:39:00and we'd say, "Hey, looks like we could be two hours or four hours."

0:39:00 > 0:39:02"We'll see you when we get there."

0:39:02 > 0:39:05Now, actually, you send a text and you say,

0:39:05 > 0:39:07"Well, we're two hours and 22 minutes away."

0:39:07 > 0:39:09Then you send another text saying,

0:39:09 > 0:39:11"We're about two hours and 18 minutes away."

0:39:11 > 0:39:14- It's communication... - That's quite amazing, actually, cos

0:39:14 > 0:39:17when you say, "What's the difference between touring now and then?"

0:39:17 > 0:39:20red phone boxes was not what sprung to my mind.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22LAUGHTER

0:39:22 > 0:39:24Nor mine!

0:39:25 > 0:39:29Very quickly, the album cover... The album cover is beautiful.

0:39:29 > 0:39:32And by the way, how very Shoreditch of me,

0:39:32 > 0:39:34I have a vinyl copy. Um...

0:39:34 > 0:39:37The...the...

0:39:37 > 0:39:42- The artwork relates to various bits of your past.- Yeah.
