0:00:08 > 0:00:11Yeah. Now, on the show tonight, we celebrate the return

0:00:11 > 0:00:13of one of the most iconic British films ever.

0:00:13 > 0:00:15Trainspotting is back!

0:00:18 > 0:00:19They're here!

0:00:19 > 0:00:22Hey, let's start the show! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:00:26 > 0:00:35This programme contains strong language

0:00:39 > 0:00:40Oh!

0:00:40 > 0:00:42Oh!

0:00:43 > 0:00:44Thank you!

0:00:44 > 0:00:48HE CHUCKLES

0:00:48 > 0:00:50Too kind!

0:00:50 > 0:00:52Hello, good evening and welcome.

0:00:52 > 0:00:54Oh, a great show for you tonight.

0:00:54 > 0:00:57The stars of T2 Trainspotting are here, ladies and gentlemen!

0:00:57 > 0:01:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Yes!

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Plus, joining them is the director, Danny Boyle.

0:01:05 > 0:01:08Of course, Danny didn't just direct both Trainspotting movies. No.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09He's done other things.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12He directed the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

0:01:12 > 0:01:14Yes, ladies and gentlemen, yes. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:14 > 0:01:17Of course, that also featured a group of chronic drug addicts.

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Another one of Danny's big hits was 28 Days Later,

0:01:26 > 0:01:29where a guy wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world to find

0:01:29 > 0:01:32the streets are completely deserted. Yeah.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35Or as Donald Trump would call it, a very successful inauguration.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40Good, that, wasn't it? I didn't see it coming.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42I did not see that coming.

0:01:44 > 0:01:47As we speak, Theresa May is visiting Donald Trump.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50She'll be staying overnight at the White House, and has bought

0:01:50 > 0:01:53some new pyjamas especially for the occasion.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01It's KNIGHTWEAR! AUDIENCE GROANS

0:02:04 > 0:02:07After taking office,

0:02:07 > 0:02:10one of the first things Trump did was to restore

0:02:10 > 0:02:13the Winston Churchill bust to the Oval Office.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Aw. He's also got plans on what to do with Theresa May's bust.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19HORN HONKS

0:02:19 > 0:02:20Let's get some guests on!

0:02:22 > 0:02:25Later, we have music from rising solo star Izzy Bizu!

0:02:27 > 0:02:31But first, let's meet the stars of T2 Trainspotting.

0:02:31 > 0:02:35Ewen Bremner! Hey! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Hello, sir. You're very welcome.

0:02:37 > 0:02:38Robert Carlyle!

0:02:38 > 0:02:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello! Hello. Nice to see you.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45Jonny Lee Miller! Oh! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:45 > 0:02:48Ewan McGregor! Hello. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:49 > 0:02:52And director Danny Boyle! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:02:52 > 0:02:54Hello! Hi!

0:02:55 > 0:02:56Sit down.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06This is mad. Anyway...

0:03:06 > 0:03:09Lovely to see you all. Welcome, welcome.

0:03:09 > 0:03:12Danny, obviously, on set you're in charge.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Apparently, yeah.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16On a night like tonight, are you in charge of the sofa?

0:03:16 > 0:03:19Just wait and see. You'll quickly find out I'm not.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21- The answer is "no".- Yes!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24So, er, welcome back, Trainspotting.

0:03:24 > 0:03:27Sunday night was the big premiere in Edinburgh.

0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Look at you all! That must have been a great night for you all.- Yeah.

0:03:30 > 0:03:31It was fantastic.

0:03:31 > 0:03:33The whole of Edinburgh seemed to turn out on the streets.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34It was wonderful.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37At least... Now, Jonny and Ewan, can you remember this one now?

0:03:37 > 0:03:41- This one we remember, I think, yeah. - It was only on Sunday, in fairness.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Bits of it.

0:03:44 > 0:03:47We've got the last one. This is you 20 years ago.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49You guys don't remember this one?

0:03:49 > 0:03:51- Bits.- Not really.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54Not really at all. I don't remember it.

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I don't remember what...

0:03:56 > 0:03:57You all look so happy and lovely.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00You're scanning across, and then you get to Robert Carlyle...

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Did no-one give you the dress code?

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Was it "come as you are"?

0:04:06 > 0:04:09You see, I DO remember it, because I'd been filming

0:04:09 > 0:04:12in Nicaragua, in actual fact.

0:04:12 > 0:04:13And, of course, there was no...

0:04:13 > 0:04:15This was the days before real internet.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18So we'd no idea that any of the build-up to the first film

0:04:18 > 0:04:23was happening. So I came across the very night of the premiere.

0:04:23 > 0:04:27I landed at Heathrow and I seen his face in all these magazines.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30I thought, "This is... Something's happening here.

0:04:30 > 0:04:31"This is bizarre."

0:04:31 > 0:04:34- "I'll get my sheepskin jacket." - Exactly.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36LAUGHTER DROWNS SPEECH

0:04:36 > 0:04:38"This is a special night."

0:04:38 > 0:04:40That's what I was wearing when I came off the plane.

0:04:43 > 0:04:46It's all changed now. All changed now.

0:04:46 > 0:04:49The person I must say hello to is Ewen.

0:04:49 > 0:04:53Cos Spud was such a kind of strong visual look.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55Like, so, people...

0:04:55 > 0:04:58Even now, it's used as a kind of reference. Do you know...

0:04:58 > 0:05:00Are you aware of what happened in Utah? Do you know this?

0:05:00 > 0:05:03Ooh! Your researcher told me about this.

0:05:03 > 0:05:05It does ring a bell, yes.

0:05:05 > 0:05:07Basically, someone in Utah -

0:05:07 > 0:05:10this was only a couple of years ago - committed a crime, OK?

0:05:10 > 0:05:14And they didn't have a photograph of the criminal they were looking for.

0:05:14 > 0:05:17So this is the genuine "wanted" poster.

0:05:25 > 0:05:27"It's something like that.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31"He probably looks like this."

0:05:32 > 0:05:34Did they ever catch him, Graham?

0:05:34 > 0:05:36"Don't go to Utah" would be my advice.

0:05:39 > 0:05:41APPLAUSE

0:05:44 > 0:05:45Oh, dear.

0:05:45 > 0:05:49Listen, we're here to celebrate the release of T2 Trainspotting,

0:05:49 > 0:05:51which opens everywhere tonight.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54Let's start with a taste of what to expect.

0:05:56 > 0:05:57'Choose life.

0:05:57 > 0:06:00'Choose Facebook, Twitter, Instagram,

0:06:00 > 0:06:02'and hope that someone, somewhere, cares.'

0:06:02 > 0:06:03Missed you, man.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05I missed you too, Spud.

0:06:05 > 0:06:06'Choose looking up old flames,

0:06:06 > 0:06:08'wishing you'd done it all differently.'

0:06:08 > 0:06:11- Do you still take heroin?- No.

0:06:11 > 0:06:13'And choose watching history repeat itself.'

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Hello, Franco.- Simon.

0:06:20 > 0:06:21I'm home.

0:06:24 > 0:06:25'Choose your future.'

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Call the police. - What shall I say?

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Just tell them we're dead.

0:06:28 > 0:06:32'Choose reality TV, slut shaming, revenge porn.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35'Choose a zero-hour contract, a two-hour journey to work,

0:06:35 > 0:06:37'and choose the same for your kids, only worse.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39'And smother the pain with an unknown dose of an unknown drug

0:06:39 > 0:06:42'made in somebody's kitchen. And then take a deep breath.'

0:06:44 > 0:06:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:06:47 > 0:06:48That's so good.

0:06:48 > 0:06:50So, we were...

0:06:52 > 0:06:53So, when we were filming that,

0:06:53 > 0:06:55that bit at the end where he's on the tower block...

0:06:55 > 0:06:57- Spud? - When Spud's on the tower block.

0:06:57 > 0:06:59We were up there... It took, like, a morning.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02And there was a guy watching us from the other tower block.

0:07:02 > 0:07:05He was at the window of the other tower block and he was watching what we were doing,

0:07:05 > 0:07:07and he's looking over at us. And eventually, he...

0:07:07 > 0:07:10There was a lot of anticipation around Edinburgh

0:07:10 > 0:07:13about what we were doing and eventually he looked at me,

0:07:13 > 0:07:16caught my eye, and he pointed, and he said to me,

0:07:16 > 0:07:17"This better not be shite, Danny."

0:07:20 > 0:07:22And that's the biggest anxiety that you have,

0:07:22 > 0:07:27is obviously that you follow up a really great success with shite.

0:07:27 > 0:07:30Yes. And also, I think it's everyone's kind of...

0:07:30 > 0:07:33I was saying to you backstage, I loved it. I loved it.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36All those things you worry about - have you left it too long?

0:07:36 > 0:07:40But, actually, the point is that it's 20 years later, isn't it?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43It's kind of like our special effect, isn't it, age?

0:07:43 > 0:07:44It's almost like...

0:07:44 > 0:07:49our big-money special effect.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52It's like watching children act - "What a convincing six-year-old."

0:07:52 > 0:07:54But you all look 20 years older - it's excellent.

0:07:56 > 0:07:58- Thank you.- It's amazing.

0:07:59 > 0:08:01Put a lot of work into it.

0:08:01 > 0:08:04- REALLY worked on it. - Really hard, yeah.

0:08:04 > 0:08:07So at the end of the first film, Renton, you walked off

0:08:07 > 0:08:08with all the money, 16 grand.

0:08:08 > 0:08:10So, 20 years later, where are we now?

0:08:10 > 0:08:12Where's Spud as the movie begins?

0:08:12 > 0:08:14Spud is really not in a good place.

0:08:14 > 0:08:15He's been trying his best,

0:08:15 > 0:08:20struggling through the last 20 years to be a better man,

0:08:20 > 0:08:23the man that his wife and child need him to be.

0:08:23 > 0:08:28And it's devastating for him that he is crippled

0:08:28 > 0:08:34with his addictions and is unable to break free of them.

0:08:34 > 0:08:37Great for you, but it is kind of amazing he's still alive.

0:08:37 > 0:08:40It is, it is amazing, but there's plenty of people

0:08:40 > 0:08:41you could say that about.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43Rock and roll's littered with those cats that

0:08:43 > 0:08:48are still remarkably sprightly, you know,

0:08:48 > 0:08:50in their 60s and 70s right now, so...

0:08:50 > 0:08:53I think there's life in the old Spud yet.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57And Begbie - what's happened to Begbie?

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Begbie's exactly where you expect him to be - he's in the nick.

0:09:01 > 0:09:04He's been there for the last 20 years, festering,

0:09:04 > 0:09:08thinking about this guy and the day he can meet him and kill him.

0:09:10 > 0:09:11I suppose, at the beginning,

0:09:11 > 0:09:13Sick Boy is the most, kind of, surprising,

0:09:13 > 0:09:15what's happened to him in the 20 years.

0:09:15 > 0:09:17Yeah, I mean...

0:09:17 > 0:09:20I kind of, like, was not that surprised that he's sort of

0:09:20 > 0:09:23stuck in a rut, cos that's one thing I really loved

0:09:23 > 0:09:27about where he is in the new film. He's...

0:09:27 > 0:09:28His powers have waned.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30People used to think Sick Boy was such a cool character

0:09:30 > 0:09:35and I thought it was interesting to look at him, the fact he's stuck

0:09:35 > 0:09:38in the same circles of behaviour, he's sort of struggling in life

0:09:38 > 0:09:40and he thinks he's winning, and still a chancer,

0:09:40 > 0:09:43but he's really making bad decisions

0:09:43 > 0:09:46and that's led to a lot of frustration and bitterness.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50So there are no parallels with my own life at all.

0:09:50 > 0:09:51- Phew!- Difficult.

0:09:52 > 0:09:54Were you worried about the movie,

0:09:54 > 0:09:57going back and doing a Scottish accent again?

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Er, yes. I mean, not worried, but I approached it differently.

0:10:00 > 0:10:03I kept up the accent the whole time filming the first one,

0:10:03 > 0:10:05cos no-one knew who we were.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08I could go to a pub in Glasgow and just wing it.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10And if you can get away with it in a pub in Glasgow,

0:10:10 > 0:10:13- you can get away with it anywhere, right?- Have you ever done?

0:10:17 > 0:10:20As I was saying...

0:10:23 > 0:10:26Yeah, so I worked with a dialect coach this time round.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- Cos I... - Cos you don't drink any more.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39"Just practising my fucking accent."

0:10:41 > 0:10:43"I can't do Scottish any more!"

0:10:46 > 0:10:50And, Ewan, the story was kicked off by Renton. Renton kind of...

0:10:50 > 0:10:54We find him in Amsterdam, where he's been for the last 20 years.

0:10:54 > 0:10:59And he has a medical emergency,

0:10:59 > 0:11:01has a cardiac issue,

0:11:01 > 0:11:05which causes him to rethink his life and come home for the first time.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08And when he comes home, we realise he hasn't even been home

0:11:08 > 0:11:09for his mother's funeral,

0:11:09 > 0:11:13and this is his coming back to face his mates again

0:11:13 > 0:11:16and find out what he's going to do with his life.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18And there's a lot of that feeling in the movie -

0:11:18 > 0:11:23that sort of, er, search for the future through the past.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26There's a nostalgia in it that I think you're right in saying

0:11:26 > 0:11:28earlier wouldn't have existed if we'd made the film earlier.

0:11:28 > 0:11:33You know, it's taken 20 years to have this beautiful weight

0:11:33 > 0:11:36of looking back at our youth through these characters.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39And, as people who played them, looking at our own,

0:11:39 > 0:11:42which seems quite far away now. You know, sadly.

0:11:42 > 0:11:45It's odd, cos you kind of think Trainspotting wasn't that long ago.

0:11:45 > 0:11:49But you do all look like children in the flashbacks.

0:11:49 > 0:11:53How much did you want this to stand alone,

0:11:53 > 0:11:55and how much did you...

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Cos it's a delicate balance, how self-referential it would be.

0:11:58 > 0:12:02You can't just repeat it. In fact, if you're going to do that, you do one straightaway,

0:12:02 > 0:12:04which is the tradition with a sequel.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07You've got to let the 20 years that has passed stand for

0:12:07 > 0:12:10the main element of the film, really. And the catch-up.

0:12:10 > 0:12:11And I think it...

0:12:11 > 0:12:14It does this weird thing. I mean, you know this as well -

0:12:14 > 0:12:15if you look back at you

0:12:15 > 0:12:18beginning this show compared to what you look like now...

0:12:18 > 0:12:21All right, I'm a lot older. Thank you.

0:12:22 > 0:12:25But television has that...

0:12:25 > 0:12:26He's a guest!

0:12:28 > 0:12:29Television has that amazing...

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Film, television - it freezes you in time,

0:12:32 > 0:12:34and people have an image... "I remember Graham on his first show."

0:12:34 > 0:12:38- They have that image in their mind. And they meet you in the street... - Yes.

0:12:39 > 0:12:41..and they're like, "No, I don't want him to look like that."

0:12:41 > 0:12:45LAUGHTER

0:12:45 > 0:12:46What did I do to deserve this?

0:12:48 > 0:12:50No, I meant...

0:12:51 > 0:12:54All right, I've melted. I've melted, Danny!

0:12:54 > 0:12:55Sh!

0:12:57 > 0:12:59- But you know what I mean.- Oh, I...

0:13:01 > 0:13:05Yes, we've established - I understand I'm much older!

0:13:05 > 0:13:07And then you unfreeze them in time

0:13:07 > 0:13:10and bring them next door to each other like this and people can see them.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12And you do see these occasional glimpses of them

0:13:12 > 0:13:15back in the original film and it's very moving,

0:13:15 > 0:13:17and it returns these guys to the common pool,

0:13:17 > 0:13:20- cos it's something we all face. - Yeah.

0:13:20 > 0:13:22Whether we're aware of it or not yet,

0:13:22 > 0:13:24it's in the post for everyone, this ageing thing.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Also the bonds of shared history. I was talking to you backstage -

0:13:27 > 0:13:30that idea that those bonds of shared history, as you get older,

0:13:30 > 0:13:33- take on an importance they never had.- Absolutely, yeah.

0:13:33 > 0:13:36You talk about the time being right now, but I suppose

0:13:36 > 0:13:38one of the things about coming back was...

0:13:38 > 0:13:40One of the problems about all of this was that you guys...

0:13:40 > 0:13:42How many years did you not talk for?

0:13:42 > 0:13:45- Yeah, quite a bit. - A long time, yeah.- Sadly, yeah.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I don't mean to trivialise it, because it's an awful thing.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50You know, you really liked each other,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52you loved working together, and then it...

0:13:52 > 0:13:56What was it? Was it one bust-up, or was it a dribbling apart?

0:13:56 > 0:14:00It was just over a film that was a misunderstanding

0:14:00 > 0:14:02and a mishandling of...

0:14:02 > 0:14:06- It was just over a film that I... - This was The Beach.

0:14:06 > 0:14:10It's a big regret of mine that it went on for so very long.

0:14:10 > 0:14:13- It's a shame we didn't work together all those years, cos...- Yeah.

0:14:13 > 0:14:14Not because of any particular film.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16It didn't really matter about The Beach.

0:14:16 > 0:14:19It was never about The Beach - it was about our friendship

0:14:19 > 0:14:22and how much I felt like Danny's...

0:14:22 > 0:14:25I was in the first three movies, you know -

0:14:25 > 0:14:27Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, then A Life Less Ordinary -

0:14:27 > 0:14:29and then I wasn't in the fourth and I was a bit...

0:14:29 > 0:14:32It made me a bit rudderless. I didn't quite get it.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34And, er...

0:14:34 > 0:14:37Yeah, we didn't speak for a long time, which was such a waste.

0:14:37 > 0:14:40It began with a lunch?

0:14:40 > 0:14:43Is the lunch when you told him he wasn't going to be in The Beach?

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- Yeah, and I think we han... - I- handled it very, very badly

0:14:46 > 0:14:48and I have apologised to Ewan

0:14:48 > 0:14:52and I kind of feel a shame about it that's very difficult...

0:14:52 > 0:14:55You know, it's one of the things, weirdly, that the film is about,

0:14:55 > 0:14:57trying to express emotions.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59And I felt a great shame about it, really.

0:14:59 > 0:15:02I was not proud of the way I handled it.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05And he, actually, handled it with enormous grace.

0:15:05 > 0:15:09Cos, you know, you see these actors and they do big things

0:15:09 > 0:15:11and you hear the stories about them,

0:15:11 > 0:15:14and he handles all his world with enormous grace

0:15:14 > 0:15:15and courage, actually.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18Which is the definition of grace.

0:15:18 > 0:15:19They say courage is grace under pressure,

0:15:19 > 0:15:22which he showed enormously. So...

0:15:22 > 0:15:23And we had this thing,

0:15:23 > 0:15:25we had this film, this Slumdog Millionaire,

0:15:25 > 0:15:28which was doing amazing, picking up all these amazing things,

0:15:28 > 0:15:31and somebody asked him. They didn't tell me but somebody asked him

0:15:31 > 0:15:34whether he'd present this kind of promotional award to me,

0:15:34 > 0:15:37which is one of the things you do on the route to the Oscars

0:15:37 > 0:15:39and stuff like that.

0:15:39 > 0:15:42And he did and he stood up on stage and he made this amazing speech.

0:15:42 > 0:15:44And I was in tears backstage.

0:15:44 > 0:15:45It was like, "Oh, God!"

0:15:45 > 0:15:47So, yeah...

0:15:47 > 0:15:49I'm very grateful to him.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52And when this happens in my life... If, friends of mine, this happens...

0:15:52 > 0:15:56I always really unsuccessfully try to interfere and broker a peace.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59Did any of you try to get involved?

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Or did you just go, "Whoa, I'm leaving that alone!"?

0:16:03 > 0:16:04We had our own feuds going on!

0:16:07 > 0:16:09No-one spoke to Ewan for 15 years!

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Yeah, I was really upset about it.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14So upset I actually did The Beach with Danny!

0:16:21 > 0:16:22Hashtag Team Danny!

0:16:23 > 0:16:25But very quickly, I was reading...

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Because they were coming on, I was reading about this...

0:16:27 > 0:16:29Who's Danny's actor now?!

0:16:31 > 0:16:33I was reading about this. There's a story...

0:16:33 > 0:16:36I don't know who told the story or how it ended up in the papers...

0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'm reading this story and I'm thinking,

0:16:38 > 0:16:41"Aw, this is obviously the lovely moment

0:16:41 > 0:16:43"when they buried the hatchet and came together."

0:16:43 > 0:16:46Talk us through the flight back from... Was it Shanghai?

0:16:46 > 0:16:49- God!- Oh, dear! - Was it a 15-hour flight?

0:16:49 > 0:16:52I'm on the plane to Shanghai to promote a movie and someone says,

0:16:52 > 0:16:53"You know who the head of the jury is?"

0:16:53 > 0:16:56And I went, "No," and they went, "Danny Boyle,"

0:16:56 > 0:16:58thinking I'd be delighted and I was like,

0:16:58 > 0:17:00"Oh my God! What are we going to say?"

0:17:00 > 0:17:06And we bumped into each other at things and it was a bit awkward.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10Anyway, then we come back home and cos we're all showbiz celebrities,

0:17:10 > 0:17:11- we were flying first class. - Of course.

0:17:11 > 0:17:13And there was only three of us in first class -

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Danny, me and my wife Eve -

0:17:16 > 0:17:20and we were flying back and we were scattered around,

0:17:20 > 0:17:23and then Eve falls asleep and her light goes off.

0:17:23 > 0:17:25And I'm sitting there

0:17:25 > 0:17:30and Danny's light's on and my light's on and I'm thinking,

0:17:30 > 0:17:33"This is it, this is the moment!"

0:17:33 > 0:17:36And I'm slightly behind, so I can see Danny...

0:17:36 > 0:17:37I'm thinking, "This is it, this is..."

0:17:37 > 0:17:39HE EXHALES

0:17:39 > 0:17:41"This is when we just get it all out.

0:17:41 > 0:17:44"I'll say 'I'm sorry' and he'll say 'I'm sorry' and we'll get on with it."

0:17:44 > 0:17:47And we couldn't. We just sat there with our lights burning...

0:17:47 > 0:17:51till, eventually, Danny's went off and mine went off!

0:17:53 > 0:17:56But you're back together now. It's all good now. Very good.

0:17:56 > 0:17:59CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:18:04 > 0:18:07It's... Hindsight's an amazing thing.

0:18:07 > 0:18:08Now you look back and go,

0:18:08 > 0:18:10"Of course Trainspotting was going to be a big hit."

0:18:10 > 0:18:13Ewen, when you were in it, did you think, "Oh, this is a job,"

0:18:13 > 0:18:14or did you kind of know,

0:18:14 > 0:18:17"This is a good film. This is a really good film"?

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Well, I had been working on the stage play, originally,

0:18:22 > 0:18:25playing Ewan McGregor's part in the stage play.

0:18:25 > 0:18:26And every night we were getting

0:18:26 > 0:18:29this phenomenal, immediate response from audiences.

0:18:29 > 0:18:34So I knew the material really was hitting a nerve.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37And I was confident that this film was going to be

0:18:37 > 0:18:40a strong piece and people were going to respond to it,

0:18:40 > 0:18:43because I was seeing that every night on stage.

0:18:43 > 0:18:48But none of us had any conception of the scale,

0:18:48 > 0:18:52the profound effect and impact it was going to make on the culture.

0:18:52 > 0:18:55And it was kind of overwhelming for myself

0:18:55 > 0:18:58and I think probably for all of us.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01You had The Full Monty coming out just like clockwork,

0:19:01 > 0:19:05just, like, the next minute, so you were riding, like, sort of,

0:19:05 > 0:19:07a double tidal wave.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10It's interesting you mention The Full Monty.

0:19:10 > 0:19:13Talking about "you don't know something's a hit when you're in it",

0:19:13 > 0:19:16you REALLY didn't see "hit" written on The Full Monty?

0:19:16 > 0:19:18I thought it was a load of fucking pish, to be honest!

0:19:23 > 0:19:26I know a lot about this business!

0:19:27 > 0:19:29It was a tough shoot. The Full Monty was a tough shoot.

0:19:29 > 0:19:31It really, really was.

0:19:31 > 0:19:34WOLF-WHISTLE

0:19:34 > 0:19:36You've all heard this.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38I don't mind hearing it again!

0:19:39 > 0:19:41- How horrible was it? - HORRIBLE horrible!

0:19:41 > 0:19:45I tell you, it was so horrible that when the people...

0:19:45 > 0:19:49Fox Searchlight, who made it, they saw the first cut of this thing

0:19:49 > 0:19:51and they went, "Straight to video."

0:19:51 > 0:19:52That's what they said.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54- Wow!- It was just very, very tough.

0:19:54 > 0:19:59And the producer at the time, Uberto, he kind of begged

0:19:59 > 0:20:02Fox Searchlight and said, "Look, we've got a hundred movies here -

0:20:02 > 0:20:05"this guy's shot the ass off this thing.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06"So give us a chance."

0:20:06 > 0:20:08So he and...

0:20:08 > 0:20:11They got rid of the editor, they got rid of the director,

0:20:11 > 0:20:14and Uberto and Nick Moore, they brought on as an editor.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17They cut together what you saw.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20And this thing went from almost straight to video...

0:20:21 > 0:20:23To date it's taken about 400 million or something.

0:20:23 > 0:20:25Well, to the Oscars!

0:20:25 > 0:20:29- It was up against Titanic... - Astonishing.

0:20:29 > 0:20:31- Astonishing.- Crazy, yeah. It was amazing.- Who knew? Who knew?

0:20:31 > 0:20:33- Not you!- Not me.

0:20:34 > 0:20:37And, Jonny, you've got that rarest of things -

0:20:37 > 0:20:42a really successful TV drama, Elementary, in America and here.

0:20:42 > 0:20:45But even that... You said "no" to that, originally, didn't you?

0:20:45 > 0:20:46Yeah, I said "no" to it cos of...

0:20:48 > 0:20:50Sherlock was a great show - IS a great show -

0:20:50 > 0:20:52and I was a big fan of it over here.

0:20:52 > 0:20:54Oh, so that... Was Sherlock out first?

0:20:54 > 0:20:55Yeah.

0:20:55 > 0:21:00And so I was, like, "Oh, another incarnation of Sherlock Holmes?

0:21:00 > 0:21:02"I don't think the world's ready for this at the moment."

0:21:02 > 0:21:04And I said no.

0:21:04 > 0:21:08And then I was persuaded by the differences in the show

0:21:08 > 0:21:11and also the opportunity.

0:21:11 > 0:21:16Really, I felt a bit arrogant to turn down the chance

0:21:16 > 0:21:18to play such a wonderful character

0:21:18 > 0:21:20with a great new script and there were enough differences.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24I thought, "Who am I to turn down the lead in a network show?"

0:21:24 > 0:21:26- Yeah.- "At least give it a go."

0:21:26 > 0:21:29And I'm glad I did!

0:21:29 > 0:21:32It's such a lovely life now, cos you're settled,

0:21:32 > 0:21:33- you're in New York...- Ah, man!

0:21:33 > 0:21:35Yeah, you get to have...

0:21:35 > 0:21:38It's a tough schedule but I don't have to travel,

0:21:38 > 0:21:41so I get to be a parent without having to disappear

0:21:41 > 0:21:43for months at a time and I really dig that.

0:21:43 > 0:21:46We're talking about that idea of what makes a hit.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49Danny, you've made huge films -

0:21:49 > 0:21:5228 Days Later, 127 Hours, Trainspotting, all those things -

0:21:52 > 0:21:53but you've made films that...

0:21:53 > 0:21:56Less successful and, er...

0:21:56 > 0:21:58- Which ones? - He's getting his own back now!

0:21:58 > 0:21:59I can't name 'em!

0:21:59 > 0:22:02I think you're looking great!

0:22:02 > 0:22:03It's gloves off now!

0:22:04 > 0:22:08I just wondered, as a director, what is the...

0:22:08 > 0:22:10Maybe you never know,

0:22:10 > 0:22:11or is there a bit in the process...

0:22:11 > 0:22:15Is it in the edit? Is there a moment when you kind of go, "Oh..."?

0:22:15 > 0:22:17Yeah. You...

0:22:17 > 0:22:20You should believe in them all the time but I think,

0:22:20 > 0:22:21deep down, you do know.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23What's much more difficult to know is when you know

0:22:23 > 0:22:26something's going to be a hit - no-one knows that.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28It's like what Bobby said - you just don't know.

0:22:28 > 0:22:30Otherwise there'd only ever be hit films.

0:22:30 > 0:22:32Why would they release ones that wouldn't be a hit?

0:22:32 > 0:22:34That's a very good point!

0:22:34 > 0:22:36- And also, no-one tries to make a bad film.- No...

0:22:36 > 0:22:38Well, I don't know, actually. Sometimes...

0:22:39 > 0:22:41But, no, you try not to.

0:22:42 > 0:22:45And then, I suppose, the opposite of it is Ewan,

0:22:45 > 0:22:49where you were being asked to do something that was a sure-fire

0:22:49 > 0:22:52big hit with Star Wars.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Did you think long and hard about saying yes to that?

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Oh, yeah, cos I didn't think it was me at all.

0:22:56 > 0:23:02I felt like this sort of urban, indie, grungy actor, you know?

0:23:02 > 0:23:05And I took an audition for it,

0:23:05 > 0:23:08like almost every other young actor in the country did.

0:23:08 > 0:23:09And then I didn't even think about it.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12And then I got a bit closer and closer and then I think,

0:23:12 > 0:23:17when I got to the last recall or something, I think called round.

0:23:17 > 0:23:19I spoke to Danny, I spoke to my uncle,

0:23:19 > 0:23:20who'd been in all three.

0:23:20 > 0:23:22He said, "Don't do it!

0:23:23 > 0:23:27"If you want a career after you're 30, don't do it!"

0:23:27 > 0:23:29Anyway...

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Cos I thought long and hard about it,

0:23:32 > 0:23:33cos it didn't really feel like me at all.

0:23:33 > 0:23:36But the closer I got to it, the more I wanted to do it.

0:23:36 > 0:23:39When you got it, didn't you celebrate with your neighbours?

0:23:39 > 0:23:41HE CHUCKLES

0:23:41 > 0:23:45Yes, there was a birthday party at Noel Gallagher's place

0:23:45 > 0:23:48round the corner from me in Belsize Park.

0:23:48 > 0:23:53He is right in saying that he gave me my first lightsaber lesson.

0:23:53 > 0:23:56It was at eight in the morning.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58It must've been an early party!

0:23:59 > 0:24:04- It was a pre-breakfast-type party! - Yeah, yeah. Champagne?

0:24:04 > 0:24:07We were in the back of the garden with plastic lightsabers,

0:24:07 > 0:24:09having a ding-dong. It was funny.

0:24:09 > 0:24:14Talking of Oasis, Oasis were the only one of

0:24:14 > 0:24:17that generation of bands - they missed the Trainspotting boat.

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Did they turn it down? Is that true, they turned it down?

0:24:19 > 0:24:22I don't know. That's what they say. They say they didn't want

0:24:22 > 0:24:24to get involved in a film about trainspotters!

0:24:24 > 0:24:26I have no idea whether that's true.

0:24:26 > 0:24:28I remember thinking, "We haven't got any Oasis on this."

0:24:28 > 0:24:30And we couldn't fit any Oasis in.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33So I don't know. They came to the party, anyway,

0:24:33 > 0:24:36- which is the important thing!- Yes!

0:24:36 > 0:24:39Actually, people forget. That soundtrack... The CD...

0:24:39 > 0:24:42I'm telling YOU. You know. Do you remember? That CD -

0:24:42 > 0:24:45everybody had the Trainspotting soundtrack CD.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47And the music on it was phenomenal.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50David Bowie played some part in the music?

0:24:50 > 0:24:54Oh, yeah, because we'd made a very small film, Shallow Grave,

0:24:54 > 0:24:57which had done very well. But it wasn't, like, an international film.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00And then suddenly we were asking for all these songs,

0:25:00 > 0:25:03like Iggy Pop - Lust for Life, Lou Reed - Perfect Day.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06And you can't really get at these people and you don't have the money

0:25:06 > 0:25:10in our budget to pay for it. And suddenly we heard that David Bowie

0:25:10 > 0:25:16had seen our film, Shallow Grave, and had waved through these tracks.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Cos he worked regularly with Lou Reed and was instrumental

0:25:19 > 0:25:22in Iggy Pop's career. So, in the new film, we've got a little moment -

0:25:22 > 0:25:23we thought, "How can we pay trib...?"

0:25:23 > 0:25:27Cos he passed away the year we were making the film and we thought, "How can we pay a tribute to him?"

0:25:27 > 0:25:29And you think about a song, and you think,

0:25:29 > 0:25:31"Well, how can you just use one song?"

0:25:31 > 0:25:33And there's a little moment where Ewan goes through

0:25:33 > 0:25:36his old record collection and actually, what we did,

0:25:36 > 0:25:38we turned all the sound off - which you're not meant

0:25:38 > 0:25:40to do in movies - and it's just...

0:25:40 > 0:25:43Even the sound of his finger on the record as he flips through the record pile.

0:25:43 > 0:25:46And you just see a couple of his records and that is our silent

0:25:46 > 0:25:49tribute to a man who filled the world with the most amazing

0:25:49 > 0:25:51sounds for 50 years or more.

0:25:51 > 0:25:52What a gorgeous thing.

0:25:58 > 0:26:02Let's have another clip from the movie, T2 Trainspotting.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05This is Begbie, hot on the heels of Renton.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22MUSIC: Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood

0:26:54 > 0:26:55HE ROARS

0:26:57 > 0:26:59Go! Go!

0:27:13 > 0:27:15APPLAUSE

0:27:15 > 0:27:16Very good.

0:27:19 > 0:27:21Now, Begbie. We must talk about Begbie.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23Because, for you, that must have been...

0:27:23 > 0:27:27Everyone, presumably, after that film, was just scared of you?

0:27:27 > 0:27:29Yes!

0:27:29 > 0:27:30They still are!

0:27:31 > 0:27:33No, I've played quite a few...

0:27:33 > 0:27:36It was great because it gave me an awful lot of other

0:27:36 > 0:27:39Begbie-type parts to play. It gave me a career's worth of that.

0:27:39 > 0:27:43But anybody that knows me knows I'm absolutely nothing like that,

0:27:43 > 0:27:44at all! At all!

0:27:44 > 0:27:47- EWEN MOUTHS No, but...- Honestly!

0:27:47 > 0:27:50I like that on either side of Trainspotting,

0:27:50 > 0:27:52you were being the nicest policeman in the world.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55You were in Hamish Macbeth with your lovely little Westie terrier!

0:27:55 > 0:27:57CHEERING Oh, we're getting cheers for Hamish!

0:27:57 > 0:27:59- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - Thanks very much.

0:27:59 > 0:28:02No, it was lovely. It was a fantastic part to play.

0:28:02 > 0:28:03These kind of parts, these psycho parts,

0:28:03 > 0:28:06these are the... You can lose yourself.

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Your imagination runs riot

0:28:08 > 0:28:11and something like Begbie's just an absolute pleasure to play.

0:28:11 > 0:28:13But even your son is aware of Begbie?

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Yes, he is!

0:28:15 > 0:28:16But how old is your son?

0:28:16 > 0:28:18He's ten!

0:28:18 > 0:28:21They're 10 and 12. I've got two sons, 10 and 12. My daughter's 14.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23- Has he seen the film? - No, he's not, but he...

0:28:23 > 0:28:25He's aware of Begbie.

0:28:25 > 0:28:28And he was certainly aware when I was shooting the film

0:28:28 > 0:28:29last springtime.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32Cos I didn't stay at home when I was playing the part.

0:28:32 > 0:28:35Because you kinda... You've got a lot of stuff in your head

0:28:35 > 0:28:37when you're playing a part like that.

0:28:37 > 0:28:38And you don't necessarily...

0:28:38 > 0:28:41You don't want to let it go every day when you go home,

0:28:41 > 0:28:44because you need to dredge it back up the next day.

0:28:44 > 0:28:47So it's best to stay away from the family during those moments.

0:28:47 > 0:28:50Cos you don't want any chance of that slipping out at all.

0:28:50 > 0:28:53But he was very aware that I was playing Begbie.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55And he, er...

0:28:55 > 0:28:58He dressed up accordingly when I went home one night.

0:28:58 > 0:29:00I think we've got a little picture of him.

0:29:00 > 0:29:02LAUGHTER

0:29:05 > 0:29:07He disappeared up... He saw me coming in

0:29:07 > 0:29:12and he disappeared upstairs and came back down with a moustache, going...

0:29:12 > 0:29:14LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:29:16 > 0:29:19Now...Danny Boyle is here and we can't have you on the show

0:29:19 > 0:29:22without mentioning the London Olympics 2012

0:29:22 > 0:29:25and that incredible opening ceremony. Yes!

0:29:25 > 0:29:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:29:32 > 0:29:35It's funny cos, actually, talking about the soundtrack,

0:29:35 > 0:29:38I think people are nostalgic for IT because it was a moment when...

0:29:38 > 0:29:40It did its job so brilliantly.

0:29:40 > 0:29:45It made the UK love the UK and made us proud of being in the UK.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48It was a massive privilege to do it and people were surprised that

0:29:48 > 0:29:51I would want to do it because, you know,

0:29:51 > 0:29:53the Beijing Olympics had been a huge thing and I thought,

0:29:53 > 0:29:56"No, this is... We are amazing."

0:29:56 > 0:29:59And we don't tell each other that very often

0:29:59 > 0:30:01and that's a good thing, generally.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03But occasionally we should take stock and say,

0:30:03 > 0:30:04"We are absolutely amazing."

0:30:04 > 0:30:06So we wanted to do that and we wanted to build it

0:30:06 > 0:30:10round the volunteers, who came in their thousands

0:30:10 > 0:30:12from everywhere, all over the country.

0:30:12 > 0:30:14Everybody... These guys drove down from Glasgow.

0:30:14 > 0:30:16They drove down through the night,

0:30:16 > 0:30:19and then go back to work in hospitals in Glasgow.

0:30:19 > 0:30:21It was an extraordinary kind of coming together of people.

0:30:21 > 0:30:22It was really amazing.

0:30:22 > 0:30:26And while we loved it, it sounds like it was an absolute

0:30:26 > 0:30:29nightmare for you, though, to try to corral this thing

0:30:29 > 0:30:31- and try to force it on. - Well, I don't...

0:30:31 > 0:30:33As these guys hopefully might testify,

0:30:33 > 0:30:37I don't behave very kind of, like, dominantly as a...

0:30:37 > 0:30:39- GRAHAM CHUCKLES - as a director,

0:30:39 > 0:30:43but occasionally on that thing, I had to.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45In the worst kind of foot-stamping, screaming,

0:30:45 > 0:30:49throwing-things-around kind of way, where you beat people over the head

0:30:49 > 0:30:50with your awards and...

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Anything you can muster to get your own way, you will do it.

0:30:54 > 0:30:56Showing up with an Oscar.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59Literally saying, "I will just... I'll go straight to the newspaper.

0:30:59 > 0:31:01"I'll resign and go straight to the newspapers."

0:31:01 > 0:31:04You'll do anything to get your way, you know, cos you have to kind of...

0:31:04 > 0:31:07Cos there's this terrible sense of them trying to make it

0:31:07 > 0:31:12the same as the last one and not letting our beauty shine through.

0:31:12 > 0:31:16And we must just mention the Queen, cos you didn't think

0:31:16 > 0:31:17the Queen was going to be in it, did you?

0:31:17 > 0:31:20No, we had this idea, you know, the idea you saw in it,

0:31:20 > 0:31:22but we thought, obviously, we should just tell her,

0:31:22 > 0:31:25because it's a courtesy to say that we'll be impersonating her and,

0:31:25 > 0:31:28you know, having this fun scene with James Bond and everything.

0:31:28 > 0:31:30And then we got word through.

0:31:30 > 0:31:31We were expecting, like, "Ooh, no,"

0:31:31 > 0:31:34and, "We want to audition the double," or whatever,

0:31:34 > 0:31:36"to make sure that it's tasteful."

0:31:36 > 0:31:38And she said, no, she wanted to do it herself.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- Which was an astonishing moment, you know.- Showbiz!

0:31:42 > 0:31:44So I went to meet her, and I'm one of the few people

0:31:44 > 0:31:46who've been in her private quarters, you know.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Well, there was that guy who jumped in Buckingham Palace.

0:31:49 > 0:31:51Shouldn't really mention that.

0:31:51 > 0:31:54Michael Fagan - good trivia question.

0:31:54 > 0:31:57I didn't know it once - I've always known it since.

0:31:57 > 0:31:58Michael Fagan.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Anyway, so I went in, cos we were setting up filming the sequence.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03I went in and she said... She said,

0:32:03 > 0:32:06"I'm not in a very good mood - I've just been to the dentist."

0:32:06 > 0:32:08I thought, "Oh, right, OK."

0:32:08 > 0:32:10She said, "What do you want me to do?"

0:32:10 > 0:32:13And so we described the sequence, and then when we got on the set

0:32:13 > 0:32:16and started doing it with Daniel Craig she said,

0:32:16 > 0:32:17"I should say something, shouldn't I?

0:32:17 > 0:32:19"Shouldn't I say something at this point?"

0:32:19 > 0:32:21"Well, if you like."

0:32:22 > 0:32:24So she said... Yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27so she said her line in the thing - that's her line. She improvised it.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29And she's very sharp. Because you know, when you turn around...

0:32:29 > 0:32:32You know this. When you turn round when you're filming and do it from

0:32:32 > 0:32:34the other way, there's always a half-hour delay.

0:32:34 > 0:32:36She remembered everything exactly like that.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40You know, there were no continuity errors, guys. Like...

0:32:43 > 0:32:45Wow! Cannot let it go.

0:32:48 > 0:32:51And very... Yet, you did turn down the knighthood.

0:32:51 > 0:32:55Lots of people walked away from that whole thing with honours.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58No-one would have begrudged you a knighthood.

0:32:58 > 0:33:01You know, I feel like you deserve to be Sir Danny Boyle after that.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04It's just not my cup of tea. My dad would have spun in his grave.

0:33:04 > 0:33:06He'd just been... Just, like, no.

0:33:06 > 0:33:09So it just wasn't my cup of tea. I'm fine.

0:33:09 > 0:33:11I'm very, very fortunate in what I do.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15I already have plenty of rewards, like working with these guys.

0:33:15 > 0:33:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Even they're not buying it. And it's them.

0:33:21 > 0:33:25Just before we finish tonight, there's one thing we haven't

0:33:25 > 0:33:27talked about tonight.

0:33:27 > 0:33:31That is that iconic poster, the 1996 publicity campaign.

0:33:31 > 0:33:33Because, again, it broke the mould -

0:33:33 > 0:33:37that isn't what a film poster looked like.

0:33:37 > 0:33:39Is it true this was the day after...

0:33:39 > 0:33:40Was it the wrap party?

0:33:41 > 0:33:45- You're asking us like we would remember.- Asking the wrong guys!

0:33:45 > 0:33:47The story... The legend is that you weren't

0:33:47 > 0:33:49feeling the best for this.

0:33:49 > 0:33:51I think that's right. I think me...

0:33:51 > 0:33:53I remember travelling in a taxi with you at, like,

0:33:53 > 0:33:595am in the morning to go to Glasgow Airport after the wrap party,

0:33:59 > 0:34:01so that we could go down and do this shoot in London.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04Is that when I blinded you with my Cockney accent?

0:34:04 > 0:34:05Yeah, and then he started...

0:34:05 > 0:34:08I'd only known Jonny, for the entire shoot, as a Scotsman,

0:34:08 > 0:34:12and then in the taxi after the wrap party, he started talking

0:34:12 > 0:34:14to me in his own accent and I was really disorientated and

0:34:14 > 0:34:17a bit stunned, you know?

0:34:21 > 0:34:23As a special treat... I notice...

0:34:23 > 0:34:26I see Kelly, obviously not here. Diane, not here.

0:34:26 > 0:34:29So I thought, just as a treat, if...

0:34:29 > 0:34:32I... I could be Kelly.

0:34:33 > 0:34:35If we could recreate this very, very quickly...

0:34:35 > 0:34:39So if you stand up and get out...

0:34:40 > 0:34:42Just to there.

0:34:42 > 0:34:43So, in what order...

0:34:43 > 0:34:46So, you're down this end. You're down this end, Robert.

0:34:46 > 0:34:48Then what is it? It's...

0:34:48 > 0:34:51Robert? Then I'd be in the gap. Then who's next?

0:34:51 > 0:34:53You're at the end. OK.

0:34:53 > 0:34:55Now, I do have some props.

0:34:55 > 0:34:57I need to see this a bit clearer.

0:34:57 > 0:35:00Embarrassingly, I'm dressed almost exactly the same way.

0:35:00 > 0:35:02Oh, that's right!

0:35:02 > 0:35:04Did you know we were doing this, Ewan?

0:35:04 > 0:35:06Like, "I've shaved my head specially for this."

0:35:06 > 0:35:08Yeah, I did.

0:35:08 > 0:35:11That's for you, a little moustache and a cigarette.

0:35:11 > 0:35:12Thank you very much.

0:35:12 > 0:35:15- They are Spud's glasses.- Wicked!

0:35:15 > 0:35:19Now, Jonny, if you want to go... Do you want to go full blonde?

0:35:19 > 0:35:20How can I not?

0:35:20 > 0:35:22OK, do it, do it, do it!

0:35:22 > 0:35:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:35:26 > 0:35:29I've got my Kelly wig.

0:35:29 > 0:35:30OK. You're doing very well.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32OK, now... Now...

0:35:32 > 0:35:34We'll put up the graphics.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38Move you that way... That way...

0:35:38 > 0:35:42I'm this way, so you're there.

0:35:42 > 0:35:44Yeah, you're good. OK.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46And we're all doing it to that camera.

0:35:46 > 0:35:48So, which one am I leaning against?

0:35:48 > 0:35:50- I'm leaning towards you, aren't I? - Seductively.

0:35:52 > 0:35:54Are we all doing it? Are we all doing it?

0:35:54 > 0:35:56- Yeah... - CHEERING

0:35:58 > 0:36:00We did it. Very good. Excellent.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Beautifully done. Thank you very much.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04Thank you very much. Have a seat, do.

0:36:07 > 0:36:08That was amazing.

0:36:08 > 0:36:11Nicely done, nicely done.

0:36:11 > 0:36:13We won't compare them.

0:36:13 > 0:36:14Listen, good luck with the film.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17I must say... Trainspotting Three.

0:36:17 > 0:36:19Now, people are already talking about Trainspotting Three.

0:36:19 > 0:36:23Will we all be here in 20 years talking about that?

0:36:23 > 0:36:24I hope not.

0:36:26 > 0:36:29Not for the film - I'd love to see the film, I just...

0:36:29 > 0:36:31That sounded rude - it wasn't meant to be.

0:36:31 > 0:36:34I just can't imagine being here in 20 years.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Still going, "What was it like?"

0:36:41 > 0:36:43This is your own private torment, Graham.

0:36:46 > 0:36:49Imagine looking at old clips then! Jesus!

0:36:50 > 0:36:53Well, the idea came from...

0:36:57 > 0:36:59Scotch accent.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Ewan actually had a great idea about that,

0:37:02 > 0:37:06for it to be a rest home for the junkies, called Skagdale.

0:37:07 > 0:37:08Lying aboot.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11T3, right there. Hey, it's time for music.

0:37:11 > 0:37:14This singer-songwriter was last year crowned

0:37:14 > 0:37:16the BBC's Introducing Artist Of The Year

0:37:16 > 0:37:18and is tipped for the top in 2017.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21Here performing Talking To You, it's Izzy Bizu.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:40:52 > 0:40:56- That was gorgeous!- Thank you. - Thank you so much. Come here.

0:40:58 > 0:40:59That's the cast of Trainspotting.

0:40:59 > 0:41:01There you go.

0:41:03 > 0:41:05There you go. Lovely.

0:41:05 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:41:08 > 0:41:09Aw, thank you so much.

0:41:09 > 0:41:11Have a seat there.

0:41:12 > 0:41:14- Hey, Izzy!- Hi!

0:41:14 > 0:41:17How old were you when the first Trainspotting movie came out?

0:41:17 > 0:41:18Er, I think I was two.

0:41:18 > 0:41:21There you go! In your face, Danny Boyle.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Thank you, Graham.

0:41:24 > 0:41:25But you've seen it, haven't you?

0:41:25 > 0:41:28Er, yeah. I'm not going to lie - I saw it two days ago.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31I'm really late on the bandwagon, but it's so amazing.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33- It's really, really good - blew my mind.- OK.

0:41:33 > 0:41:36Now, your album is out now - that's A Moment Of Madness.

0:41:36 > 0:41:39- And the single is also out now. - Mm-hm, yeah.

0:41:39 > 0:41:40- But separately.- Yes.

0:41:40 > 0:41:43That is correct. OK, I'm just checking.

0:41:43 > 0:41:46And so, when the BBC Introducing thing happened,

0:41:46 > 0:41:48where had you been before that?

0:41:48 > 0:41:49How did they find you?

0:41:49 > 0:41:52I was literally, like, writing in my bedroom

0:41:52 > 0:41:55with my guitarist, and we did, like, White Tiger there.

0:41:55 > 0:41:59And then we decided to put the song up on the BBC Introducing website

0:41:59 > 0:42:01and they picked it up and started playing it.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03They've been really cool ever since, so...

0:42:03 > 0:42:06That is fantastic. It's great that you CAN do it without reality,

0:42:06 > 0:42:09- you can do it without all those things.- Yeah, it's nice.

0:42:09 > 0:42:12And I love that song. I think it's on the A list on Radio 2,

0:42:12 > 0:42:14so we're playing it all the time.

0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Oh, well...- Congratulations. - Thank you.- Izzy Bizu, everybody!

0:42:17 > 0:42:19CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:21 > 0:42:25Nearly time to go, but I believe

0:42:25 > 0:42:28we can have a visit to the big red chair before that.

0:42:28 > 0:42:29Who's there? Hello.

0:42:29 > 0:42:31- Hi.- Hello.- Hi. What's your name?

0:42:31 > 0:42:34- My name's Pam.- Pam? Lovely, Pam.

0:42:34 > 0:42:35What do you do, Pam?

0:42:35 > 0:42:38I just retired, just before Christmas. I was an administrator.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42An administrator. What did you administrate?

0:42:42 > 0:42:46Yes, well, I was PA to a managing partner of a financial team.

0:42:46 > 0:42:50- You must be so glad to be not doing that any more.- I am.

0:42:50 > 0:42:51Off you go with your story.

0:42:51 > 0:42:55OK, well, I was going to take minutes at a very important

0:42:55 > 0:42:58board meeting and my boss said,

0:42:58 > 0:42:59"It's going to be an all-day meeting."

0:42:59 > 0:43:03I said, "Well, that's fine, but can I bring my dog in?

0:43:03 > 0:43:05"She won't be any problem."

0:43:05 > 0:43:07I said, "Because I'm not going to be able to get home."

0:43:07 > 0:43:09And he said, "Yes, but, Pam, you've got to realise

0:43:09 > 0:43:13"it's a very important meeting and she's really got to be quiet.

0:43:13 > 0:43:15I said, "You won't know she's here.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19"She'll just sit by the telephone exchange and she'll be with Monica."

0:43:19 > 0:43:21So I brought Woofer in and I put her...

0:43:21 > 0:43:24- LAUGHTER - ..underneath the telephone...

0:43:24 > 0:43:27Can I just say...

0:43:27 > 0:43:31I can't imagine who you meet in the park shouting that! But...

0:43:31 > 0:43:34We had to change it! We had to change it.

0:43:34 > 0:43:36"Woofer!" The trees all part.

0:43:39 > 0:43:42- Sorry, Pam.- We used to call her Woof but when we were in the woods

0:43:42 > 0:43:45going, "Woof, Woof, Woof, Woof," when she disappeared,

0:43:45 > 0:43:47it did look a bit silly.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Anyway, so I put Woofer by Monica, and I said,

0:43:50 > 0:43:52"She won't do anything. She'll be fine."

0:43:52 > 0:43:54Went in to take the minutes.

0:43:54 > 0:43:57Halfway through a very heated meeting and big debate,

0:43:57 > 0:44:02all of a sudden, there was this agonising, hair-raising howl.

0:44:02 > 0:44:04It was just awful.

0:44:04 > 0:44:06I didn't know what had happened.

0:44:06 > 0:44:08I looked at my boss and he looked at me

0:44:08 > 0:44:11and all of us ran out to reception.

0:44:11 > 0:44:14We looked at Woofer and she was lying there going,

0:44:14 > 0:44:16"Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya! Ah-ya-ya-ya-ya!"

0:44:16 > 0:44:20Because she'd actually bitten through the telephone cables

0:44:20 > 0:44:21on the telephone exchange,

0:44:21 > 0:44:24and I looked at my boss and I thought, "Oh, my God."

0:44:24 > 0:44:29I picked her up but as I picked her up, I didn't know what to do.

0:44:29 > 0:44:32Her bodily functions just worked like a machinegun.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36I was looking at my boss and it was just...

0:44:36 > 0:44:38SHE IMITATES MACHINEGUN

0:44:38 > 0:44:40All over him. I don't know why I did this

0:44:40 > 0:44:45but, in slow motion, I just carried on looking at everybody else.

0:44:45 > 0:44:47And everybody was just...

0:44:47 > 0:44:49"Oh, my God, this is disgusting!"

0:44:49 > 0:44:50And I was so horrified.

0:44:50 > 0:44:53And then after Woofer got over her trauma,

0:44:53 > 0:44:56I was still holding her and I looked at my boss and said,

0:44:56 > 0:44:58"Shall we carry on with the minutes?

0:44:58 > 0:45:02"Do you want to do any other business?"

0:45:03 > 0:45:06- And that's my story. - Good story, Pam!

0:45:06 > 0:45:08That was a good one. A stunt dog!

0:45:11 > 0:45:14- You can walk. Sorry, you can walk. - Oh, OK.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH

0:45:20 > 0:45:22Time for one more? Oh, go on.

0:45:30 > 0:45:31Great! Er...

0:45:34 > 0:45:36Best of luck with that.

0:45:36 > 0:45:38Off you go with your story.

0:45:38 > 0:45:42So, in Year Seven, when I was, like, 12 years old, my parents thought

0:45:42 > 0:45:45it would be a great idea for me to learn English to come to the UK

0:45:45 > 0:45:46in a boarding school.

0:45:46 > 0:45:49At first, I knew no English at all.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51So, one day, there wasn't a pillow on my bed,

0:45:51 > 0:45:53so I asked a roommate how that was said,

0:45:53 > 0:45:54so I could ask for one.

0:45:54 > 0:45:57And she told me it was called a dildo.

0:45:57 > 0:46:00- So... - LAUGHTER

0:46:00 > 0:46:03- I didn't...- I like her!

0:46:03 > 0:46:05Yeah, I loved her from that moment on!

0:46:05 > 0:46:09So I didn't know, so I was going to ask the matron

0:46:09 > 0:46:12but that night, the headmaster of the school came

0:46:12 > 0:46:14to switch off the lights.

0:46:14 > 0:46:17So me, innocently and as polite as I could,

0:46:17 > 0:46:20went there to ask for a dildo so I could sleep.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26That was a good story. You can walk.

0:46:29 > 0:46:31Well done, everyone.

0:46:31 > 0:46:33If you'd like to join us on the show and have a go in the red chair,
