0:02:51 > 0:02:55- Oh, my goodness.- You did one of those man hugs, didn't you?- You see!
0:02:55 > 0:02:58We've been practising. When I came out, we did this. It was like...
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- We did that. Oh!- Oh!- So...- Man hug.
0:03:00 > 0:03:02So, Helen saw a man hug
0:03:02 > 0:03:04and she saw me do a couple of man hugs
0:03:04 > 0:03:07and she was, like, "I want to do a man hug."
0:03:07 > 0:03:10So, we've been practising our man hug.
0:03:10 > 0:03:14But you drive the whole man hug. I was literally just standing there.
0:03:14 > 0:03:16LAUGHTER
0:03:16 > 0:03:18We've had our man hug. OK.
0:03:18 > 0:03:20Good. And Dame Helen with the...

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Are you building up the followers?
0:03:31 > 0:03:33Well, I don't care about followers, at all. Actually.
0:03:33 > 0:03:37I just love taking photographs and putting it on the internet.
0:03:37 > 0:03:41- Naomie, are you into that? - Not really, to be honest.- No.
0:03:41 > 0:03:46- But very nice hug. I'll give you that.- Ah, very kind.- A lady hug.
0:03:46 > 0:03:49- It was a nice lady hug. We've had a nice lady hug.- Those are nice too.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52- Lady hug or a man hug, depending on what mood you're in.- Exactly.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- It's Christmas. - Mix it up. Mix it up.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58It is, actually, it is nearly time. I mean, Christmas Eve tomorrow.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00So, where will you all be for Christmas?
0:04:00 > 0:04:03Will, are you going to be in California? Where are you going to be?
0:04:03 > 0:04:05Well, Christmas is very important to my wife.
0:04:05 > 0:04:09So, she sacrifices for the family all year and then, Christmas, is mommy time
0:04:09 > 0:04:11and everybody pretty much just shut up
0:04:11 > 0:04:13and do what mommy says for Christmas.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16She starts looking in, like, October
0:04:16 > 0:04:19to where the maximum snowfall is going to be.
0:04:19 > 0:04:23She's on The Weather Channel. It's like real crazy. It's really crazy.
0:04:23 > 0:04:25So she finds the most snow and then she books us all in that area
0:04:25 > 0:04:28because we have to have snow for Christmas
0:04:28 > 0:04:30- or, like, the year doesn't count. - OK.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34Do you even know where you're going or you just show up on the day?
0:04:34 > 0:04:35Yeah. I show up on the day.
0:04:35 > 0:04:39I pretty much just go, you know, wherever Jada says
0:04:39 > 0:04:44but she takes it very seriously and she over-decorates and over-Christmases.
0:04:44 > 0:04:47Now, Helen, you love Christmas. Where are you doing?
0:04:47 > 0:04:49- And you do the sleigh ride? - I do the sleigh ride. Yes. Yes.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52She does a one-horse open sleigh and we sing songs.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55But I don't know none of the words to the Christmas songs...
0:04:55 > 0:04:57So I'm always making it up, like,
0:04:57 > 0:05:00# On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me... #
0:05:00 > 0:05:01HE MUMBLES
0:05:01 > 0:05:03LAUGHTER
0:05:03 > 0:05:05Do that for 12 days of Christmas.
0:05:05 > 0:05:08So, where will you be, Helen?
0:05:08 > 0:05:11- I'll be in Italy. Yes.- Oh, nice! - It will be very nice.- Very nice.
0:05:11 > 0:05:16I love Christmas in Italy. I take Christmas pretty seriously, too.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- Really?- But I'm into the lights. It's the lights that get me.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22Round about September, October, November.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26- I start, sort of, hanging around, you know, Home Depot or...- Yeah.
0:05:26 > 0:05:30- you know...- B&Q?- The Emporium. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
0:05:30 > 0:05:31Looking in the light section
0:05:31 > 0:05:34and deciding which Christmas lights I'm going to buy.
0:05:34 > 0:05:38You're making it sexy, though. You're doing, like...
0:05:38 > 0:05:40"I'll get some of those lights."
0:05:40 > 0:05:42LAUGHTER
0:05:42 > 0:05:44I'm really good at untangling them.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46Ooh! Yeah, girl!
0:05:47 > 0:05:49Yeah! Whoo!
0:05:49 > 0:05:51And the extension cords.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54LAUGHTER CONTINUES
0:05:54 > 0:05:56And extension cords!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00Whoa!
0:06:00 > 0:06:03Don't get Helen talking about them lights.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08And, Naomie, are you going to be with your family?
0:06:08 > 0:06:09Your family sound fun.
0:06:09 > 0:06:11- Really?- Yes!- Why?
0:06:13 > 0:06:15From the outside, they're magnificent.
0:06:15 > 0:06:18From the inside, it's very different.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21No, I actually live on the same street as my family.
0:06:21 > 0:06:23It's really sad. I'm, like, eight doors down.
0:06:23 > 0:06:27So, on Christmas Day I walk up the hill in my pyjamas,
0:06:27 > 0:06:30- ready for Christmas. - Oh, how lovely!- I love Christmas.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32Christmas is my favourite time of the year. It's the best.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I mean, they've been preparing the cake for a year.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Yeah. They soak... All the fruit that goes into the cake
0:06:38 > 0:06:40is soaked a year before in rum.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42- Wow!- That's how the Jamaicans do it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:45- That sounds good.- My sister does it like that.- Oh, really?
0:06:45 > 0:06:49- Maybe she's a little bit Jamaican, my sister.- Yeah. Lovely.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52- Wow!- Your sister's probably not a little bit Jamaican, Helen.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58I'm just guessing. I'm just guessing.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00I don't know.
0:07:00 > 0:07:04- Apparently... Apparently, the Harris are quite...- Brutal.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07- Brutal.- Is the word. Yes. Very brutally honest.- Oh, no!
0:07:07 > 0:07:09So, if you give them a present, or what have you,
0:07:09 > 0:07:11everyone just goes, "I don't like that."
0:07:11 > 0:07:14"Why would you buy that?"
0:07:14 > 0:07:16And the thing is, that's how I've grown up.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18I thought this was perfectly normal until, like,
0:07:18 > 0:07:20I brought a boyfriend home and, then, you know, we were opening
0:07:20 > 0:07:23presents at Christmas and people were, like, "I don't want that!"
0:07:23 > 0:07:25"That's rubbish! Why would you buy that?"
0:07:25 > 0:07:29He was, like, "That is not normal."
0:07:29 > 0:07:31Just say thank you!
0:07:31 > 0:07:34That's what Christmas is like at my house.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Will, you've been in the house.
0:07:36 > 0:07:41Yeah, we had a lovely dinner, her mom cooked, and it was magnificent.
0:07:41 > 0:07:47- And my stepdad.- Yeah, he was doing... They have a tag team.- OK.
0:07:47 > 0:07:50It was really great, you know. Beautiful. Loving family.
0:07:50 > 0:07:52A little Jamaican flair.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Did they go nuts that Will Smith was now in their house?
0:07:54 > 0:07:56Oh, no. They played really casual.
0:07:56 > 0:07:59They just acted like, you know, a movie star comes over every day.
0:07:59 > 0:08:04Like, "Yeah, we was eating with Tom Cruise last week."
0:08:04 > 0:08:07They heard that. Why?
0:08:08 > 0:08:10My brother actually, midway...
0:08:10 > 0:08:13Will probably doesn't even know this, that my brother, actually,
0:08:13 > 0:08:17while he was there, was taking pictures of him across the table.
0:08:19 > 0:08:20And all the pictures were like...
0:08:22 > 0:08:25And then, the awful thing was I told my brother off,
0:08:25 > 0:08:28I said it's really rude to take pictures of someone
0:08:28 > 0:08:30when the person doesn't know, you know?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34And my brother was like, it's OK, Mum's already posted it on Facebook.
0:08:35 > 0:08:36I'm sorry about that.
0:08:38 > 0:08:41A lot of likes, though. Lot of likes.
0:08:41 > 0:08:43And, of course, a special time of the year for Helen
0:08:43 > 0:08:46because this marks your beginnings as an actress.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50- This time of year was when you got your first start, wasn't it?- Was it?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54- If I say the word "virgin". - Oh, I see. Yes. Yes.
0:08:54 > 0:08:58When I played the Virgin Mary. Yes, indeed. A long, long, long time ago.
0:08:58 > 0:08:59All right.
0:09:02 > 0:09:03Were there lights?
0:09:03 > 0:09:07- There was lights there, wasn't there?- No! But I had...
0:09:07 > 0:09:11I had this veil. I was about nine at the time,
0:09:11 > 0:09:13like, in primary school.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18And I had this incredible blue veil and I just loved my veil so much.
0:09:18 > 0:09:20Had little stars on it.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22I was taken around from classroom to classroom
0:09:22 > 0:09:25because I was so good at playing the Virgin Mary.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- A long time ago.- OK.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34And I like this idea of your kids, angling to have Christmas here.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36- Because it was Jaden...- Yeah!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Suddenly decided he wanted to have his birthday here.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Yeah. He suckered me for his 18th birthday. My son, he just turned 18.
0:09:42 > 0:09:45- Yeah.- This past July.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48And, you know, we were saying, it's your 18th birthday.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's a big birthday.
0:09:50 > 0:09:53We said, well, you know, "Where do you want to do it?"
0:09:53 > 0:09:55He said, well, you know, "I want to do it in London.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57"It's one of my favourite cities."
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And we were promoting and I said, "Oh, that's fantastic. I'll be there."
0:10:01 > 0:10:04So, the family came and we celebrated his birthday here.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08And he sits down at the table and he's, like,
0:10:08 > 0:10:10"Hey! I'll have a tequila, please."
0:10:10 > 0:10:13I was like "Hey! What is wrong with you? No!"
0:10:13 > 0:10:16He said "Drinking age is 18 in London."
0:10:16 > 0:10:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:10:19 > 0:10:21Oh! Oh-ho!
0:10:22 > 0:10:25- That was why he wanted to come to London.- Yeah, he got me.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27He got me.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Will, is the hey-hey game still popular in your family?
0:10:31 > 0:10:36Well, we've sort of suspended the hey-hey game temporarily.
0:10:36 > 0:10:40The hey-hey game, it was a really strange thing.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43It's this bizarre universal truth
0:10:43 > 0:10:46and we've tested it on many continents
0:10:46 > 0:10:50and, if you walk up behind a person and,
0:10:50 > 0:10:53you know, you stick your finger in the... You know, you just,
0:10:53 > 0:10:56- sort of, ram your finger... - Up their bum?
0:10:56 > 0:11:01Everybody in every language in the world says, "Hey! Hey!"
0:11:01 > 0:11:03LAUGHTER
0:11:04 > 0:11:07I'm telling you. I'm telling you. Try it!
0:11:08 > 0:11:10Somebody's here from Botswana, right?
0:11:10 > 0:11:13I'm telling you. Try it.
0:11:13 > 0:11:14They'll say, "Hey! Hey!"
0:11:17 > 0:11:20And how many times have you been arrested?
0:11:27 > 0:11:29Now, the three of you bring us a Christmas gift, your new movie
0:11:29 > 0:11:31Collateral Beauty.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34It's out on Boxing Day and it's a really unusual film.
0:11:34 > 0:11:37I have heard you guys talking about it.
0:11:37 > 0:11:40Because it's, nominally, a comedy, but it's more than that.
0:11:40 > 0:11:45It says really, kind of, profound things, in a light, charming way.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47I mean, how do you describe it?
0:11:47 > 0:11:48Yeah, it's difficult to describe
0:11:48 > 0:11:51because there's lots of surprises and things,
0:11:51 > 0:11:52so you try to describe it
0:11:52 > 0:11:56- without giving away the ending, and things like that.- Exactly.
0:11:56 > 0:12:00But my character is a guy who is on top of the world
0:12:00 > 0:12:06and he's living the beautiful life and he suffers a loss.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09And his life deteriorates. And he...
0:12:09 > 0:12:14He gets so angry about his loss he just, one night,
0:12:14 > 0:12:16he rants and he writes these three letters
0:12:16 > 0:12:20and he writes letters to Love, to Time and to Death.
0:12:20 > 0:12:25And in his deteriorated mind space, he mails these letters
0:12:25 > 0:12:28and then Love, Time and Death
0:12:28 > 0:12:31actually respond to the letters that he wrote.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35And, you know, from that point, it's a story of a man
0:12:35 > 0:12:39really putting his life back together
0:12:39 > 0:12:42with the help of Guardian Angels, essentially.
0:12:42 > 0:12:45We've got a little clip which introduces Helen's character
0:12:45 > 0:12:48- and then we can talk about it some more.- Absolutely.
0:12:55 > 0:12:56They grieve.
0:12:58 > 0:13:00Dogs.
0:13:00 > 0:13:03They grieve and they fully understand death.
0:13:06 > 0:13:07You called me a paper tiger.
0:13:09 > 0:13:12In the letter you wrote me. You said I was "pathetic".
0:13:15 > 0:13:16You don't remember?
0:13:16 > 0:13:21You went on about middle management? Making a deal. Paper tiger.
0:13:23 > 0:13:25Oh, Howard, it wasn't that long ago.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28Where did you get that?
0:13:29 > 0:13:31Who are you?
0:13:31 > 0:13:32Who did you write the letter to?
0:13:35 > 0:13:37I wrote the letter to Death.
0:13:39 > 0:13:41Nice to meet you. Charmed. I'm sure.
0:13:43 > 0:13:45- No.- No.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54- No.- No.- No.- No. Not going there.
0:13:54 > 0:13:56And you get the call, Helen, saying,
0:13:56 > 0:13:59"We're casting Death. We thought of you."
0:14:02 > 0:14:04I was so insulted!
0:14:04 > 0:14:05I read the script first
0:14:05 > 0:14:08and I wasn't quite sure who they were going to ask me to play.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12They said, "Well, we want you to play Death." Oh, Goddamit!
0:14:14 > 0:14:21But, um... But it's... I'm a very... It's a comedic role.
0:14:21 > 0:14:24The way I play it. It's a comedy role.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Naomie, there's so many brilliant actress,
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Edward Norton, Kate Winslet, so many people, Keira Knightley.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33- All the girls... - All the girls, yeah. - All the women are Brits. It's great.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36- Was that an accident? How did that happen?- We don't know.
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- We'll have to ask David Frankel. - How did that happen?- I just...
0:14:40 > 0:14:43You know... I got a little bit of a thing for y'all.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48So, Naomie, you're not Love, Time or Death. Who are you?
0:14:48 > 0:14:51No. I'm a grief counsellor. Yes.
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Who Will's character comes to in his hour of need for help,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58- when he thinks he's losing his mind. - OK.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00And the whole film shot in New York.
0:15:00 > 0:15:03And it's... I love seeing films shot in New York, they're great,
0:15:03 > 0:15:06but it must be a difficult thing,
0:15:06 > 0:15:09filming on the streets of New York with this man around.
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Difficult, but wonderful.
0:15:10 > 0:15:14I have to say, you know, when we shot that scene in the park,
0:15:14 > 0:15:17we shot it in a neighbourhood on the outskirts of New York,
0:15:17 > 0:15:19quite a black neighbourhood,
0:15:19 > 0:15:22and, obviously, word goes out that Will's around...
0:15:22 > 0:15:24Because I'm black, too!
0:15:26 > 0:15:27There's another one!
0:15:29 > 0:15:31And he's famous!
0:15:31 > 0:15:35But they absolutely love him, so they were so excited
0:15:35 > 0:15:39and the kids all came, you know, from miles around.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41There were hundreds of people
0:15:41 > 0:15:43and, you know, it was quite a serious scene.
0:15:43 > 0:15:48After every take, Will went off and just hung with the people who were there,
0:15:48 > 0:15:50took photographs with them.
0:15:50 > 0:15:53You know, did whatever they wanted him to do, met their mums.
0:15:53 > 0:15:56talked to their dads. He was amazing.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59And then he'd come back, sit down and play a serious scene.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04I was really, really impressed by that. It was fantastic.
0:16:04 > 0:16:06- Oh, thank you. - And that's true every day on the set
0:16:06 > 0:16:09because when I worked with him, as well, he did exactly the same thing.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12And, one day, I asked him why do you do this?
0:16:12 > 0:16:15How do you have so much energy to give so much to so many people?
0:16:15 > 0:16:19And he said because everybody that you meet is going through something.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22So, you have the opportunity to offer them happiness
0:16:22 > 0:16:24and some light in their day, so why not do it?
0:16:24 > 0:16:27I think that is you all over.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Thank you. Thank you.
0:16:33 > 0:16:38Can I add, though. He's also very annoying.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44- No... It's funny... - Like an annoying older brother.
0:16:44 > 0:16:45That's what he's like.
0:16:45 > 0:16:49What's really funny is, like, Naomie is so...
0:16:49 > 0:16:53serious and she's so focused on set
0:16:53 > 0:16:56that she never sees the practical joke coming. Right?
0:16:56 > 0:16:59She just never sees.
0:16:59 > 0:17:04Like, I had a thing where I had a little bit of an injury.
0:17:04 > 0:17:06It's called dog jaw.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09I don't know. Have you ever...
0:17:09 > 0:17:11- I don't think I have. - Here, feel that.
0:17:12 > 0:17:14- Raargh!- OH!
0:17:14 > 0:17:16LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:17:21 > 0:17:24I'm with you, Naomie, really annoying!
0:17:30 > 0:17:33That's the type of stuff I would get her with all the time!
0:17:37 > 0:17:39Really, really annoying.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45The other thing, though, you weren't...
0:17:45 > 0:17:48What was the other thing, he used to tease you about on set?
0:17:48 > 0:17:51Oh, yeah. Yeah. Because I stupidly...
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Never show weakness to Will.
0:17:54 > 0:17:57I told him this story about one of the first movies that I ever did
0:17:57 > 0:18:01where I got dressed up for the premiere and, you know,
0:18:01 > 0:18:03went with my family and friends to this premiere
0:18:03 > 0:18:05and the movie started
0:18:05 > 0:18:07and my part came on
0:18:07 > 0:18:09but it wasn't me.
0:18:09 > 0:18:12I had been replaced by another actress.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14- AUDIENCE GASP - See, the audience sympathise.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18- Will, on the other hand... - I was crying!
0:18:20 > 0:18:23I thought that was the funniest crap I ever heard!
0:18:23 > 0:18:26She brought her family!
0:18:28 > 0:18:31At the screening, she took pictures.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35- You did the red carpet and everything?- I did the red carpet.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37I did all the interviews, everything. No-one told me.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41In this movie, to the director David Frankel, I was, like,
0:18:41 > 0:18:44"Dude, you have to do a cut where she's not in it!"
0:18:44 > 0:18:45Cut her out.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49We have to find her family and show her the one that she's not in.
0:18:51 > 0:18:54Now, we have another clip from Collateral Beauty.
0:18:54 > 0:18:58I'm reliably informed that, Naomie, you are in this clip.
0:18:59 > 0:19:00It's really you.
0:19:02 > 0:19:07- There's a thing called bereavement hallucinations?- Yes.- Right.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10OK, so, I...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12I looked them up
0:19:12 > 0:19:16- and here's the thing. I don't sleep.- OK.
0:19:16 > 0:19:20Like, not a lot. I mean, I sleep, but...
0:19:22 > 0:19:26I get, like, six or seven hours a week.
0:19:27 > 0:19:30- Now I think about it, that's probably why...- Why what?
0:19:36 > 0:19:39I'm having conversations...
0:19:40 > 0:19:42Mm-hm.
0:19:44 > 0:19:47I mean, conversations.
0:19:47 > 0:19:49OK.
0:19:52 > 0:19:53It's OK. Never mind.
0:19:55 > 0:19:57- Howie.- Yeah?
0:19:58 > 0:19:59D'you want to have a conversation with me?
0:20:01 > 0:20:03Er, yes.
0:20:03 > 0:20:06APPLAUSE Beautiful.
0:20:07 > 0:20:13And...we must say... a big congratulations to Naomie.
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Golden Globe nomination, Screen Actors Guild nomination.
0:20:17 > 0:20:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:20:19 > 0:20:22Yeah!
0:20:22 > 0:20:25- For Moonlight. Have either of you seem Moonlight?- I have.
0:20:25 > 0:20:28- It's beautiful, isn't it? - It's beautiful. She's brilliant.
0:20:28 > 0:20:32- Yeah.- Unbelievable.- I watched it last night. It's gorgeous.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36It doesn't actually open here until the 10th of February.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38What's that thing that you nearly didn't do it?
0:20:38 > 0:20:40- You weren't going to do it? - Yeah. So stupid.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I feel such an idiot now. Yeah, I didn't want to do it
0:20:43 > 0:20:46because I didn't want to play a crack addict.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48You know, I wanted to portray positive images of women,
0:20:48 > 0:20:50in general, black women in particular
0:20:50 > 0:20:52and I thought a crack addict wasn't part of that.
0:20:52 > 0:20:56So, I stupidly was about to say no and then the director said,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58"Look, I'm basically asking you to play my mum."
0:20:58 > 0:21:01And I thought, I've never had anyone asked me to play their mum before
0:21:01 > 0:21:04because that's his story, basically.
0:21:04 > 0:21:06And you're unrecognisable in it.
0:21:06 > 0:21:07I mean, it's extraordinary.
0:21:07 > 0:21:11I'd just worked with her, you know, doing this movie
0:21:11 > 0:21:13and I go to see Moonlight and I'm sitting there, going,
0:21:13 > 0:21:16"That looks like Naomie."
0:21:16 > 0:21:21Then I go, "No, it can't be Naomie because, you know, I know Naomie."
0:21:21 > 0:21:22She's a British girl.
0:21:22 > 0:21:27You know, and she's very beautiful and elegant and articulate.
0:21:27 > 0:21:30And there's this crack mother on it.
0:21:30 > 0:21:33"No, it can't be her. It's just...
0:21:34 > 0:21:36"But it does look like her."
0:21:36 > 0:21:39It's like, "Did she really do crack for that?"
0:21:46 > 0:21:48Well, listen, good luck with all the awards
0:21:48 > 0:21:52and be careful on those carpets because there are not easy.
0:21:52 > 0:21:54Helen, what happened here? This is at Cannes.
0:21:54 > 0:21:57This picture went all over the world. What happened to you?
0:21:57 > 0:22:00- Because people said you fell. - No, no. I didn't fall. I didn't.
0:22:00 > 0:22:03- It wasn't at Cannes. It was at Venice.- Oh, was it Venice?- Yeah.
0:22:03 > 0:22:06- I think it was Venice. No, maybe it was Cannes.- Listen,
0:22:06 > 0:22:11- you playing into the picture now. - No, it was Cannes.- The client...
0:22:12 > 0:22:13No, it was Cannes.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24That was so not what happened.
0:22:24 > 0:22:26It was a staircase and you're going up the staircase
0:22:26 > 0:22:28and there's the president of the thing
0:22:28 > 0:22:29and you're supposed to say hello
0:22:29 > 0:22:33and, as I came up, I noticed his shoelace was undone.
0:22:33 > 0:22:35As I came up, I went, you know, "Your shoelace is undone.
0:22:35 > 0:22:38"I'm going to do it up for you." He went, "Oh, no, no, no."
0:22:38 > 0:22:39"It's all right. I'll do it for you."
0:22:39 > 0:22:43So, I sank very gracefully to my knees, you know, very elegantly.
0:22:43 > 0:22:46- I don't know how... - LAUGHTER
0:22:46 > 0:22:48This is quite the story!
0:22:48 > 0:22:52Look at the guy on the right. He's laughing.
0:22:52 > 0:22:54Because you fell!
0:22:54 > 0:22:56No!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You would have been laughing.
0:23:00 > 0:23:01I didn't fall.
0:23:01 > 0:23:05Actually, we've got a picture of you, Will, on the red carpet.
0:23:05 > 0:23:07- See, see... I shouldn't. - There you go.
0:23:09 > 0:23:11Hey! Hey!
0:23:11 > 0:23:15- Hey! Hey! Hey!- That's the hey-hey game. She was, "Hey! HEY!"
0:23:17 > 0:23:19Oh, you're my husband.
0:23:19 > 0:23:20Now, very quickly,
0:23:20 > 0:23:22as it's Christmas time,
0:23:22 > 0:23:25and we have the nearest thing to royalty on our sofa.
0:23:25 > 0:23:28Dame Helen, I wonder, would you do us a little Christmas message?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30An inspirational Christmas message. Now, what we're doing,
0:23:30 > 0:23:32if you move down to the end of the sofa,
0:23:32 > 0:23:35so that the Christmas tree is in behind you.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38- Oh, man!- OK. - It's like good production.
0:23:38 > 0:23:41- There are words up there.- Yes.- OK.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44- Are you all set. Whoa! Oh! Oh! - Hey! Hey!
0:23:44 > 0:23:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:23:48 > 0:23:50We're not going to have a hey hey!
0:24:06 > 0:24:10- It has to come when you're not expecting it.- Yeah, yeah!
0:24:10 > 0:24:14OK. So, if you look down, we've got some suitable music for you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:15- Here we go.- OK.
0:24:20 > 0:24:23Hello.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25At this time of celebration and togetherness,
0:24:25 > 0:24:29we have the chance to reflect on the year gone by
0:24:29 > 0:24:31and I think we can all agree
0:24:31 > 0:24:35that 2016 has been a big pile of shit.
0:24:35 > 0:24:36LAUGHTER
0:24:44 > 0:24:49So, my advice to you is drink responsibly and be merry.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52Have a very happy Christmas but, above all,
0:24:52 > 0:24:56go see Collateral Beauty, out on Boxing Day,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59at all good cinemas.
0:24:59 > 0:25:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:02 > 0:25:04And that's Helen. Out.
0:25:12 > 0:25:14Very good.
0:25:14 > 0:25:16Right. Time to meet my next guest.
0:25:16 > 0:25:19He's gone from The Office to the Shires
0:25:19 > 0:25:21and all the way to Baker Street.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24As one of the stars of the much awaited new series of Sherlock,
0:25:24 > 0:25:27the doctor will see us now. It's Martin Freeman, everybody.
0:25:27 > 0:25:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:25:28 > 0:25:30Hey! Dapper! Dapper!
0:25:30 > 0:25:35- Lovely to see you.- Lovely to meet you. Nice to meet you.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38- Hello, darling, how are you doing? - Hello. Nice to see you.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40Nice to see you. Are you all right?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48That was close!
0:25:48 > 0:25:50You have to be quick.
0:25:50 > 0:25:51It won't happen a second time.
0:25:51 > 0:25:52Aah!
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Now, Sherlock. Sherlock is back.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58AUDIENCE WHOOP Yes! They're excited.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00First episode is on the 1st of January
0:26:00 > 0:26:03and then two more on the following Sundays.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Now, do you all watch the Sherlock?
0:26:05 > 0:26:07- Oh, I watch Sherlock, yes. - Don't embarrass me
0:26:07 > 0:26:09because if it's no, it'll just look bad.
0:26:09 > 0:26:14- Because, for what is essentially, it is a BBC drama...- Yeah.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17- ..but it's global, beyond belief, isn't it?- Yes, it is.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19It's had a real life of its own.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22Almost from the first episode, actually.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26From the time the first episode went out, the reaction was...
0:26:26 > 0:26:28extraordinary. I've never known anything like it.
0:26:28 > 0:26:30And they shoved it out in the summer, as well.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- It was as if they didn't think we would like it.- I know.
0:26:32 > 0:26:34We were all worried because it was due to go out...
0:26:34 > 0:26:36I can't remember when it was due to go out, but it ended up
0:26:36 > 0:26:39going out a couple of months earlier and we were up in arms,
0:26:39 > 0:26:41thinking no-one's going to watch it and it's going to be disastrous
0:26:41 > 0:26:44and, actually, it made no difference. People liked it.
0:26:44 > 0:26:47And it's so extraordinary. You've been in something as big as a big movie franchise, The Hobbit,
0:26:47 > 0:26:50but Benedict Cumberbatch was here and he was saying
0:26:50 > 0:26:52that when he got recognised,
0:26:52 > 0:26:56he was filming in Nepal and they recognised him from Sherlock.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59That's only because he carries a picture around with him.
0:26:59 > 0:27:00LAUGHTER
0:27:00 > 0:27:03He's always doing that.
0:27:03 > 0:27:05But you must get that, too.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07Yeah. It's a big show. It definitely...yeah,
0:27:07 > 0:27:11it reaches parts that other programmes cannot reach.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Yeah. Yes, it's delightful.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17I can't remember whether I've said this to you.
0:27:17 > 0:27:21Do you know when someone comes up to you if this is, here we go, Hobbiton?
0:27:21 > 0:27:24- Yes, I do.- You do?- I do. - What's the difference?
0:27:24 > 0:27:28There's a sort of age demographic slightly different. I think.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31I think, usually, if it's, with all respect to anyone
0:27:31 > 0:27:33who is, or isn't, this thing, I think,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36if it's a female between 16 and 25 I know that's going to be Sherlock.
0:27:36 > 0:27:38WHOOPS
0:27:38 > 0:27:40Yeah.
0:27:40 > 0:27:42There. That's the way that works.
0:27:42 > 0:27:46It's that thing of being recognised where you don't expect it.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49Where's the oddest place you've been recognised, Will?
0:27:49 > 0:27:51How far afield? Have you been in a jungle,
0:27:51 > 0:27:53on top of a mountain somewhere?
0:27:53 > 0:27:57Yeah. We were shooting Ali in Mozambique.
0:27:57 > 0:28:01And we were walking through a village,
0:28:01 > 0:28:05you know, 50 miles outside of the major city
0:28:05 > 0:28:09and there was a woman washing her clothes in the river.
0:28:09 > 0:28:12There was no electricity in the place.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15I walked by and she said, "Big Willie!"
0:28:15 > 0:28:17LAUGHTER
0:28:20 > 0:28:22What? Get out of... How do you know?
0:28:25 > 0:28:26That's amazing.
0:28:26 > 0:28:30Maybe in her language, it meant something different.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33"What are you doing here?" You know.
0:28:34 > 0:28:37You were saying, Helen, you get... It's queues.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39Queues are dangerous for you?
0:28:39 > 0:28:41- Queues for the toilet.- Oh!
0:28:41 > 0:28:44When you get recognised in a queue for the toilet.
0:28:44 > 0:28:48And women's, you know, women's bathrooms, in theatres
0:28:48 > 0:28:51and places like that, there's always a huge great long queue
0:28:51 > 0:28:54and that is not an easy place to be recognised.
0:28:54 > 0:28:58Because you can't... You're stuck. You have to have...
0:28:58 > 0:29:00And then other people in the queue, and then word goes out
0:29:00 > 0:29:04and now you're having a conversation with this whole queue of people.
0:29:04 > 0:29:08All the time, slowly moving towards the cabinet that's empty
0:29:08 > 0:29:13and knowing that everybody's going to be listening once you're in.
0:29:13 > 0:29:16LAUGHTER
0:29:17 > 0:29:19It's mortifying!
0:29:19 > 0:29:20- Judging you.- Yes.
0:29:20 > 0:29:24For men, it's if you get recognised at the urinal.
0:29:24 > 0:29:27That must be. Yes, yes.
0:29:27 > 0:29:30Hey. Hey. Hey!
0:29:30 > 0:29:33Yeah, man. Sherlock! How are you doing?
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Dude, dude.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37That happened to me.
0:29:37 > 0:29:40I was at a gig, years ago, I was at the urinal and it was,
0:29:40 > 0:29:41the interval, or whatever,
0:29:41 > 0:29:44and there were two guys and they both clocked me.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46I think this was from Office days, you know.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48And they both clocked me and looked at each other and went,
0:29:48 > 0:29:51- "Has he got a big one?" - LAUGHTER
0:29:51 > 0:29:54He was literally properly having a little...
0:29:55 > 0:29:58See, women are lucky!
0:29:58 > 0:30:00That's terrible.
0:30:00 > 0:30:03- Because Bond must have had a similar effect on your life.- No.
0:30:03 > 0:30:09- No. I rarely get recognised. It's fantastic.- That is great.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11I think I have a sort of chameleon face
0:30:11 > 0:30:14so you don't generally recognise me. I can go pretty much anywhere.
0:30:14 > 0:30:16Not now.
0:30:16 > 0:30:20Seriously. I could sit under posters of myself and...
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Seriously. I'm serious.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25On the tube.
0:30:29 > 0:30:31Now, we have a Christmas tradition on the show.
0:30:31 > 0:30:34Somebody comes on for the new Sherlock
0:30:34 > 0:30:36and can't tell us anything about it.
0:30:36 > 0:30:39So, what can you tell us about it?
0:30:39 > 0:30:43Um, that it's on on January the 1st
0:30:43 > 0:30:48and, my character and Mary, John and Mary have a baby now.
0:30:48 > 0:30:52I saw a picture of this. We have a picture. There's evidence.
0:30:52 > 0:30:55Now, Sherlock looks like he's never seen a baby before.
0:30:56 > 0:30:59Like, this is the mystery he can't solve.
0:30:59 > 0:31:02And that would be absolutely right, yeah.
0:31:02 > 0:31:06Because Sherlock is not the world's greatest touchy-feely person.
0:31:06 > 0:31:09So the fact that this baby has come into the picture
0:31:09 > 0:31:11is, yeah, pretty baffling for Sherlock.
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Don't take this the wrong way
0:31:13 > 0:31:15but you do look slightly like the new family in Albert Square.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18LAUGHTER
0:31:18 > 0:31:22The Sherlocks have moved in to number 11.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24I don't take that the wrong way.
0:31:25 > 0:31:28OK. This is a clip. You brought this. This is an exclusive clip.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31I brought this, yeah. I brought it on my bike, yeah.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34- It was very good of you. - Under me arm.
0:31:34 > 0:31:38- This is... I think it's self-explanatory.- OK.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41- So, how's it going then, fatherhood? - Oh, good. Great. Yeah. Amazing.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43- Getting any sleep?- Christ, no.
0:31:43 > 0:31:46Beck and call of a screaming, demanding baby,
0:31:46 > 0:31:49woken up at all hours to obey his every whim?
0:31:49 > 0:31:53- Must feel very different.- Sorry. What?- Yes, well, you know how it is.
0:31:53 > 0:31:55All you do is clean up their mess, pat them on the head.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58- You two having a little joke? - Never a word of thanks.
0:31:58 > 0:32:02- Can't even tell people's faces apart.- This is a joke, isn't it?
0:32:02 > 0:32:04And it's all, "Aren't you clever? You're so, so clever."
0:32:04 > 0:32:05Is it about me?
0:32:05 > 0:32:08- I think he needs winding.- You know, I think that really might be it.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10No. Don't get it.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:32:17 > 0:32:20We were talking earlier about filming in New York with Will Smith,
0:32:20 > 0:32:24but Sherlock must be just the same problem.
0:32:24 > 0:32:26It's way more popular than Will Smith.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29I mean, it's not a competition.
0:32:31 > 0:32:33No, it's pretty crazy here. Yeah.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35Do the writers take that into account
0:32:35 > 0:32:38- so there can't be plot spoilers outside?- Kind of.
0:32:38 > 0:32:41I mean, like everything we all do now,
0:32:41 > 0:32:43we all have to sign up our lives to secrecy.
0:32:43 > 0:32:46So, I think we're all very aware of that.
0:32:46 > 0:32:49I think, once it's become clear that
0:32:49 > 0:32:53if we're stationary on a street it becomes like an event.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55You have to be very mindful.
0:32:55 > 0:32:59If you're saying dialogue that's giving away plot. You know.
0:32:59 > 0:33:03I think they don't tend to write plot stuff in public
0:33:03 > 0:33:05because people are either filming it or...
0:33:05 > 0:33:08And are people respectful or do they try to ruin takes?
0:33:08 > 0:33:10They never try and ruin takes. I mean, they're very respectful.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12Sometimes they can't...
0:33:12 > 0:33:16Well, I think we've all learned to live with each other better
0:33:16 > 0:33:18over the years because I think, at first,
0:33:18 > 0:33:21people would come and they would clap takes.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24You're like, "No, because you've just ruined the take there."
0:33:24 > 0:33:26But they are very respectful.
0:33:26 > 0:33:30They stay out all hours and they're lovely people. Yeah.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33I guess it must be a little bit different in America.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Because, you know, you're doing a scene and, specifically,
0:33:37 > 0:33:41like, black people in America it's, like, "Hey, Will! Will!"
0:33:41 > 0:33:44"That ain't funny, man. You better get hold of a better line."
0:33:44 > 0:33:48LAUGHTER
0:33:48 > 0:33:50Yeah. That would be difficult.
0:33:51 > 0:33:54"We figured it out, Sherlock. We know who did it!"
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Now, we're about to have a musical performance tonight.
0:34:00 > 0:34:03But before we do, now, obviously, Will Smith,
0:34:03 > 0:34:05a very accomplished rapper.
0:34:05 > 0:34:07- But Martin Freeman...- Oi! Come on!
0:34:09 > 0:34:12Martin Freeman, I don't know how... He's an expert beatboxer.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16- Wow!- Yes. An expert. - Genuinely, not true.
0:34:18 > 0:34:21Do you drop beats? How do you...?
0:34:21 > 0:34:24Me, I tend to drop 'em, really.
0:34:24 > 0:34:28- Drop 'em? I tend to drop a fat beat, now and then.- Yeah.
0:34:28 > 0:34:30None of this is true.
0:34:30 > 0:34:32We're about to see evidence.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34This is really impressive.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36- It's quite funny but it's impressive.- Really impressive?
0:34:36 > 0:34:40Well, I found it impressive. This is...
0:34:40 > 0:34:44- In my head, Ali G Indahouse was a recent film.- Yeah.
0:34:44 > 0:34:46That's because we're getting old.
0:34:46 > 0:34:47In fact, it was 12 years ago.
0:34:47 > 0:34:49- Yeah.- 12 years ago. So, a fresh-faced...
0:34:49 > 0:34:52- It's actually more than 12 years ago.- Oh, is it more?
0:34:52 > 0:34:54We filmed it 15 years ago.
0:34:54 > 0:34:56- We filmed it in 2001. Yeah.- Wow!
0:34:56 > 0:35:01Well, here's a very fresh-faced Martin Freeman in Ali G Indahouse,
0:35:01 > 0:35:03dropping, let's say dropping, some beats.
0:35:03 > 0:35:05Droppin' beats.
0:35:05 > 0:35:07HE BEATBOXES JUNGLE BEAT
0:35:07 > 0:35:08Wicked!
0:35:09 > 0:35:11Wicked!

0:35:34 > 0:35:37- Wait a sec. I is gonna be late for me class.- Oh.- Let's go.
0:35:37 > 0:35:40- LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE That's good!- Yeah.
0:35:40 > 0:35:41Very good.
0:35:43 > 0:35:47- That's on the edge of expert.- Yeah. - That's on the edge of expert.- Yeah.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48- Yeah.- Which edge?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53OK! It's music time, and this is a lovely Christmas treat.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56This lady is one of the UK's top-selling artists.
0:35:56 > 0:35:59She's sold 12 million albums worldwide and she's here tonight
0:35:59 > 0:36:02with the Gori Women's Choir performing The Little Swallow.
0:36:02 > 0:36:04Please welcome Katie Melua.
0:36:04 > 0:36:08CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:36:09 > 0:36:13THEY SING IN UKRAINIAN
0:37:47 > 0:37:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:37:52 > 0:37:53Stunning!
0:37:56 > 0:37:58So beautiful.
0:37:58 > 0:38:02Katie Melua... and the Gori Women's Choir!
0:38:02 > 0:38:04Come and join us, do, Katie Melua.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:38:06 > 0:38:08Mind yourself. There's traps and all sorts.
0:38:08 > 0:38:10There you go. That was beautiful.
0:38:11 > 0:38:14Katie Melua, everybody. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:38:14 > 0:38:15You sit here beside Helen.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17Katie Melua.
0:38:17 > 0:38:19Lovely, lovely.
0:38:19 > 0:38:21- Very good.- How are you? Absolutely...- Thank you.
0:38:21 > 0:38:24- Aw.- ..beautiful.- Thank you. - Beautiful, beautiful.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Beautiful, beautiful.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27Well, if people didn't feel Christmasy before, they do now.
0:38:27 > 0:38:32- That is from the album In Winter, which is obviously out now.- It is.
0:38:32 > 0:38:35Still time to gift it to someone. LAUGHTER
0:38:35 > 0:38:38So, the Gori Women's Choir, they're from Georgia.
0:38:38 > 0:38:41Georgia, yeah, which is the country of my birth.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44And I lived there until I was eight before I moved over to the UK.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Cos there's a Gorey in County Wicklow in Ireland as well.
0:38:46 > 0:38:49- Oh, is there?- Yes! I thought, "Oh, she's got the Gorey Women's Choir."
0:38:49 > 0:38:51And then..."No. Oh, no." LAUGHTER
0:38:51 > 0:38:54No. They're from my hood.
0:38:54 > 0:38:58Yeah, so, you're touring with a choir now,
0:38:58 > 0:38:59so you're hanging around London.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01So, are you the go-to person?
0:39:01 > 0:39:03You know, do you have to know everything?
0:39:03 > 0:39:05- Like, "Where is there a cash point? Katie?"- Yeah.
0:39:05 > 0:39:07- LAUGHTER - Pretty much.
0:39:07 > 0:39:09So, they landed here a few months ago
0:39:09 > 0:39:14just before our European tour, and I suddenly thought,
0:39:14 > 0:39:16"OK, I've got the album out. We're going on the road."
0:39:16 > 0:39:18And I realised, "But I've got a show in London."
0:39:18 > 0:39:20You know, cos it's their first time in the UK,
0:39:20 > 0:39:23and so I thought, "Right, we'll go to St Paul's Cathedral.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26"We'll go up to Hampstead Heath, look at London."
0:39:26 > 0:39:28You know, all the beautiful... Buckingham Palace.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31And the thing they wanted to do the most was Madame Tussauds.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34LAUGHTER So, did you do Madame Tussauds?
0:39:34 > 0:39:36They did do Madame Tussauds.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39I couldn't take them, but, you know, we got them tickets
0:39:39 > 0:39:41and we sent them there and they absolutely loved it.
0:39:41 > 0:39:43Now, they were meant to fly back a few days ago,
0:39:43 > 0:39:46but you're kind of a big deal, Graham.
0:39:46 > 0:39:48And not only are you a big deal,
0:39:48 > 0:39:50- but everyone here is a bit of a big deal.- Yes.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52And so I said to them, "Please stay a few more days.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54"Let's do The Graham Norton Show
0:39:54 > 0:39:57"and instead of taking pictures with the Madame Tussauds dummies,
0:39:57 > 0:39:59- "you can actually maybe do the..." - These dummies.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02- Yeah. - LAUGHTER
0:40:03 > 0:40:06Cos... I don't know. You... They flew you in.
0:40:06 > 0:40:09You were a guest in Madame Tussauds or something. A waxwork of you.
0:40:09 > 0:40:13- Oh, no.- There's a picture of you. There you are.- Yeah.
0:40:13 > 0:40:14- Go on, son.- Yeah.
0:40:14 > 0:40:17LAUGHTER Oh, that's good!
0:40:17 > 0:40:19- Yeah, it's uncanny.- That's amazing.
0:40:19 > 0:40:22That's creepy! LAUGHTER
0:40:22 > 0:40:25- Wow.- Yeah, it's real crazy. It's real... Yeah.
0:40:25 > 0:40:28And, Helen, they did a whole big thing for your birthday.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30- They did three of me.- Yes. - Three different ones.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33There you are as the Queen.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37- Yes. Doesn't look anything like the Queen, or me, really. - LAUGHTER
0:40:37 > 0:40:39There is one that looks incredibly disturbing.
0:40:39 > 0:40:42That one looks like Dustin Hoffman in Tootsie.
0:40:42 > 0:40:44LAUGHTER
0:40:45 > 0:40:48- Dorothy Michael. - Dorothy Michael in Tootsie, right?
0:40:49 > 0:40:53But we couldn't find you, but you must be a waxwork somewhere.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56- It's a sore point, Graham. - LAUGHTER
0:40:56 > 0:40:58No, you must be, cos the...
0:40:58 > 0:41:00You know, between Sherlock and Lord Of The...
0:41:00 > 0:41:01you know, Hobbit, you have to be...
0:41:01 > 0:41:04- Lord Of The Hobbit?- Lord Of The Hobbit, yeah.- Yeah, whatever.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06They're over. I've seen them all.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09"The Hobbit, Lord Of The Hobbit, or something, you were in that."
0:41:09 > 0:41:10No, I'm not. I'm not in it.
0:41:10 > 0:41:12Did they ask you and you said no?
0:41:12 > 0:41:15- Oh, God... No. - LAUGHTER
0:41:15 > 0:41:17- No, never asked.- Can you say no?
0:41:17 > 0:41:18Did you say yes or did they just do it?
0:41:18 > 0:41:20I think they...
0:41:20 > 0:41:22No, I don't think you can say no, but, you know,
0:41:22 > 0:41:24I was very honoured, actually, and excited
0:41:24 > 0:41:26and I sort of went and sat for them
0:41:26 > 0:41:28and sort of tried to make it as good as possible, but...
0:41:28 > 0:41:31But if you did say no, they couldn't model you, could they?
0:41:31 > 0:41:33- I mean, cos you've got to go... - No, I didn't do that.
0:41:33 > 0:41:35- Oh, you didn't do that? - I would not have approved that.
0:41:35 > 0:41:37LAUGHTER
0:41:37 > 0:41:40A lot, they do from photographs. They do a lot from photographs.
0:41:40 > 0:41:43- People don't do it.- And, Katie, so is all the touring over now?
0:41:43 > 0:41:45- Is it just the record? - The touring is over
0:41:45 > 0:41:47and we're just, you know, promoting the album
0:41:47 > 0:41:50and just delighted to have made a sort of winter-themed record.
0:41:50 > 0:41:53But it's such a beautiful sound presumably you're going to do more.
0:41:53 > 0:41:57I hope so. I hope so, but this is it for now because it was...
0:41:57 > 0:42:00I mean, the album was recorded out in Gori, which,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03for some people, they only know it as the birthplace of Stalin.
0:42:03 > 0:42:05- Mm.- So, you know...
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Or some people don't know it at all. LAUGHTER
0:42:08 > 0:42:11Now, for me, when you said she had a choir from Georgia,
0:42:11 > 0:42:14- I was expecting something different. - LAUGHTER
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Something to do with football.
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Yeah, I was like, "Georgia? Yeah. A Baptist choir."
0:42:20 > 0:42:23No, no. It's... You know where it is, don't you?
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- Georgia, it's... - Yeah, yeah. The other one. I know.
0:42:26 > 0:42:29- Yeah.- It was just... It was a dumb American joke.- Yeah.
0:42:29 > 0:42:31LAUGHTER
0:42:31 > 0:42:34Here's a world map. Find it. LAUGHTER
0:42:34 > 0:42:35I couldn't.
0:42:35 > 0:42:38Anyway, thank you very much for coming, Gori Women's Choir,
0:42:38 > 0:42:41and thank you so much. Beautiful, Katie. Really, really lovely.

0:44:49 > 0:44:50I invited a friend round for dinner.
0:44:50 > 0:44:52So, I started cooking and the friend arrived,
0:44:52 > 0:44:54I buzzed them in, but they went the wrong way
0:44:54 > 0:44:56when they came into the flat.
0:44:56 > 0:44:59So, I went outside to show them which way to go quickly,
0:44:59 > 0:45:01but unfortunately for me, the door shut behind me,
0:45:01 > 0:45:03and I was cooking at the time.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06so there was security bars all over the windows
0:45:06 > 0:45:08so I had no choice but to call the fire brigade.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10I called the fire brigade thinking,
0:45:10 > 0:45:12"They'll just break the bars on the kitchen window,
0:45:12 > 0:45:14"take the cooking off the stove and that'll be it,"
0:45:14 > 0:45:17but they decided to break in through my bedroom window.
