0:00:02 > 0:00:04- Hi, I'm Eddie Redmayne. - And I'm Benedict Cumberbatch.

0:00:04 > 0:00:07- BOTH:- And welcome to The Graham Norton Show.

0:00:24 > 0:00:25Oh! Oh, hello!

0:00:25 > 0:00:27Hello, hello, hello!

0:00:27 > 0:00:29Hello! Hi, hi!

0:00:29 > 0:00:32Hello, everybody! You're here!

0:00:32 > 0:00:33You're here! Hello!

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Good evening, everybody!

0:00:37 > 0:00:39Oh, you're... It's too kind.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Everyone looking forward to Halloween, yeah?

0:00:44 > 0:00:45CHEERING

0:00:45 > 0:00:47Now, I didn't know this but apparently there's a code.

0:00:47 > 0:00:50If you don't mind people knocking on your door,

0:00:50 > 0:00:53you leave a pumpkin outside. That's how it works.

0:00:53 > 0:00:56It's sort of like flashing your headlights in a car park, I think.

0:00:56 > 0:00:57It's that sort of thing.

0:00:57 > 0:00:59LAUGHTER

0:00:59 > 0:01:00No?

0:01:01 > 0:01:03Have I got that wrong?

0:01:03 > 0:01:05Now, if you're going to be celebrating Halloween,

0:01:05 > 0:01:09I must warn you - a shortage of pumpkins this year.

0:01:09 > 0:01:10Did you know that?

0:01:10 > 0:01:13Although, if you can't get one and you need something round and orange

0:01:13 > 0:01:15to scoop the inside out of...

0:01:15 > 0:01:16Yeah.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER

0:01:19 > 0:01:21CHEERING

0:01:21 > 0:01:23I know.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27I mean, it's not even our election and I'm so relieved

0:01:27 > 0:01:30it's just over a week until it's all over.

0:01:30 > 0:01:32I mean, it has been a fascinating campaign.

0:01:32 > 0:01:35One of my favourite bits was when those Donald Trump statues

0:01:35 > 0:01:37suddenly started appearing all over the country.

0:01:37 > 0:01:38Did you see those?

0:01:38 > 0:01:40Yeah.

0:01:40 > 0:01:41LAUGHTER

0:01:41 > 0:01:43Makes a change - him being groped.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45LAUGHTER

0:01:45 > 0:01:47I wonder if Hillary's seen them.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48I'm guessing yes.

0:01:48 > 0:01:50Let's get some guests on!

0:01:52 > 0:01:55Later, we'll have music from country music star LeAnn Rimes.

0:01:55 > 0:01:57CHEERING

0:01:57 > 0:02:01But first, this man won four Emmys for his role in Breaking Bad

0:02:01 > 0:02:03and now he's turned author.

0:02:03 > 0:02:05Please welcome, for the first time, Mr Bryan Cranston!

0:02:05 > 0:02:06CHEERING

0:02:06 > 0:02:07There he is!

0:02:09 > 0:02:11Hello, sir! Really nice to see you.

0:02:11 > 0:02:12- Bryan Cranston!- Hello!

0:02:14 > 0:02:16Right!

0:02:16 > 0:02:19This man, he won an Oscar for his role as Stephen Hawking

0:02:19 > 0:02:22in The Theory Of Everything, and now he's starring in the latest

0:02:22 > 0:02:24incarnation of the Harry Potter franchise,

0:02:24 > 0:02:26Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

0:02:26 > 0:02:29Please welcome, Eddie Redmayne! CHEERING

0:02:29 > 0:02:31There he is!

0:02:31 > 0:02:32Love a cord!

0:02:32 > 0:02:33Love a cord!

0:02:36 > 0:02:40And from Hamlet to Sherlock Holmes, this man has conquered

0:02:40 > 0:02:43stage and screen, now he joins the Marvel universe

0:02:43 > 0:02:47as Doctor Strange, welcome back the great Benedict Cumberbatch!

0:02:47 > 0:02:49CHEERING

0:02:51 > 0:02:52Hello! Very nice to see you.

0:02:52 > 0:02:54You know everybody.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Sit down! Sit down.

0:03:03 > 0:03:06CHEERING

0:03:06 > 0:03:07What a great audience.

0:03:10 > 0:03:14That's nice, that's good, right? Some weeks it's nothing.

0:03:14 > 0:03:15That was a nice welcome.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18- You're very welcome.- Thank you. - Welcome back to you two.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20And, Bryan, first time. Lovely to see you.

0:03:20 > 0:03:24- HE IMITATES A POSH ENGLISH ACCENT:- Well, first of all, let me thank you for allowing me to...

0:03:24 > 0:03:28rid myself of that dreadful American accent that I've used for

0:03:28 > 0:03:3060 bloody years!

0:03:31 > 0:03:33Finally, finally!

0:03:33 > 0:03:34- Oh, my God!- You've come home!

0:03:34 > 0:03:39You guys... Now, you were both on last year's honours list.

0:03:39 > 0:03:42- So you're a CBE, Benedict, is that right?- That is right.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44- And you're an OBE?- I'm not angry.

0:03:44 > 0:03:46- Oh, is that better than an OBE? - I'm not angry.

0:03:46 > 0:03:48He got an Oscar, we're fine.

0:03:50 > 0:03:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:03:54 > 0:03:56I'm just disappointed.

0:03:56 > 0:03:57And deservedly so, I might add.

0:03:57 > 0:03:59We're fine, we're fine.

0:03:59 > 0:04:03For the Yank on the couch, what does that mean now, the OBE and the SVE?

0:04:03 > 0:04:04That's a very good question.

0:04:04 > 0:04:06Over to you, boys.

0:04:06 > 0:04:07LAUGHTER

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- CBE is Commander of the British Empire.- Ooh.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13And does that involve...? Have you had the moment?

0:04:13 > 0:04:15No, I think the sword is the knight's...

0:04:15 > 0:04:17So, there are no swords involved?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19- Not in the ceremony. - Do you have the nuclear codes?

0:04:19 > 0:04:22LAUGHTER

0:04:22 > 0:04:23I do. Oh, yeah, they're there.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24No.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27- What is the process?- It sounds like I have to do something

0:04:27 > 0:04:29really, really important.

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Cos Eddie hasn't even bothered to collect his yet.

0:04:32 > 0:04:34I've been busy. I'm getting it soon...

0:04:34 > 0:04:36- That's cool, isn't it? - I'm sweating.

0:04:36 > 0:04:38"Oh, yeah, I got an OBE, yeah... Can you send it to me?"

0:04:38 > 0:04:41- That's brilliant.- I haven't got it yet, but only because

0:04:41 > 0:04:42I've been filming.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45Do you have to go or can they just post it to you?

0:04:45 > 0:04:47- No, I'm desperate to go.- Got to turn up and take it in person.

0:04:47 > 0:04:49I think Her Majesty appreciates that.

0:04:49 > 0:04:52- Do you wear a uniform? - No, no, just a smart suit and...

0:04:52 > 0:04:54- Smart suit, yeah. - ..something respectful.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57And can you boss him around because now you outrank him?

0:04:57 > 0:04:58- Yes!- Oh, yeah.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02But actually, you mentioned the Oscar,

0:05:02 > 0:05:04this is a very odd couch. I don't think we've ever had

0:05:04 > 0:05:08this before. Because last year, the two of you were nominated

0:05:08 > 0:05:12and he won. But then the two of you were nominated this year,

0:05:12 > 0:05:14you for Trumbo and A Danish Girl.

0:05:14 > 0:05:15I don't think we've ever had that before.

0:05:15 > 0:05:19- That's a lot of Oscar... - Double nominee. Double nominee!

0:05:19 > 0:05:21Double nominee! CHEERING

0:05:21 > 0:05:23That's pretty good.

0:05:23 > 0:05:24In consecutive years.

0:05:24 > 0:05:26I think that's got to be some kind of record,

0:05:26 > 0:05:28just consecutive years. That's extraordinary.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31Did you meet each other on the night, or are you kept separate

0:05:31 > 0:05:32by studios and things?

0:05:32 > 0:05:35Yeah, we see each other backstage and then, you know,

0:05:35 > 0:05:38he's throwing up in the trash can.

0:05:38 > 0:05:40I say, "It's all right."

0:05:40 > 0:05:42- You're cooking the crystal.- Yeah.

0:05:42 > 0:05:45"Here, take this, it'll make you feel better."

0:05:45 > 0:05:47And it's odd for you, Bryan, cos presumably you thought

0:05:47 > 0:05:49when you were in Malcolm In The Middle

0:05:49 > 0:05:51that you were famous.

0:05:51 > 0:05:54And then Breaking Bad came along and you must have realised,

0:05:54 > 0:05:55"Oh, no, no, no, THIS is famous."

0:05:55 > 0:05:58Well, I never really realise it.

0:05:58 > 0:06:00- I doubt that anyone on this couch... - AUDIENCE WHOOPS

0:06:00 > 0:06:03..wanted to be a star. We wanted to be actors.

0:06:03 > 0:06:05They're whooping you in your pants, by the way.

0:06:05 > 0:06:07That's what that whoop was.

0:06:07 > 0:06:08You're welcome!

0:06:09 > 0:06:11I was thinking it was the word "couch".

0:06:12 > 0:06:13Thought it was that easy.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16But before fame, Bryan Cranston, you went on,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19- was it a two-year motorcycle trip... - I did, yeah.

0:06:19 > 0:06:20..you went round America?

0:06:20 > 0:06:22And you... In the book...

0:06:22 > 0:06:26We'll talk about your book properly in a little bit,

0:06:26 > 0:06:29but there's a story in the book about where you got involved

0:06:29 > 0:06:32in a situation in a restaurant. Was the chef Pete Wong?

0:06:32 > 0:06:36Peter Wong, yes. It was a Polynesian restaurant.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39My brother and I were on this trip to find ourselves, really.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41We were young, I was 20.

0:06:41 > 0:06:46And we got restaurants because we were broke, waiter jobs.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50And this guy, this chef, was a horrible human being.

0:06:50 > 0:06:54Hated everyone and everyone hated him.

0:06:54 > 0:06:57And we would have fun with the waiters as we were having

0:06:57 > 0:07:00a bite to eat and getting that meeting before we start our shift,

0:07:00 > 0:07:04and everyone would talk about how you would kill Peter Wong.

0:07:04 > 0:07:10I said, "I think I would slice him... Slice him up and put him

0:07:10 > 0:07:14"in a wok and then cook Moo goo gai Peter.

0:07:14 > 0:07:17"And put it over, you know, some sticky rice."

0:07:19 > 0:07:23So, at the end of the season, my brother and I were ready

0:07:23 > 0:07:25to take off again. We do take off.

0:07:25 > 0:07:30What we didn't know is that the same time we took off

0:07:30 > 0:07:32to go on our trip again,

0:07:32 > 0:07:34Peter Wong was murdered.

0:07:34 > 0:07:36AUDIENCE GASPS

0:07:36 > 0:07:37No!

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- And the detectives...- Oh, I didn't think it was going there, did you?

0:07:40 > 0:07:43LAUGHTER

0:07:47 > 0:07:50No, you're by yourself.

0:07:50 > 0:07:53See, what was happening, was that Peter constantly tried

0:07:53 > 0:07:54to move away from me!

0:07:54 > 0:07:56He just tried to move away from me!

0:07:56 > 0:07:58And it was irritating!

0:07:58 > 0:08:00Oh, he's going all Walter White!

0:08:01 > 0:08:04So we didn't know until... We took about four months

0:08:04 > 0:08:07to travel some more and came back down to Florida

0:08:07 > 0:08:09to start working again, cos we were broke again,

0:08:09 > 0:08:12and our friend said, "Did they catch up with you?"

0:08:12 > 0:08:13And we said, "What do you mean?"

0:08:13 > 0:08:16And he said, "The cops were looking for you.

0:08:16 > 0:08:18"The put out on APB for you two guys."

0:08:18 > 0:08:21Because the detectives came in and said,

0:08:21 > 0:08:23"Is there anybody who's not working here any more

0:08:23 > 0:08:27"who ever talked about hurting or killing Peter Wong?"

0:08:27 > 0:08:28Oh, no. Oh, God.

0:08:28 > 0:08:32And our friends were like... "Cranston brothers...?"

0:08:33 > 0:08:35And, yeah, sure enough.

0:08:35 > 0:08:36And he was, you know...

0:08:36 > 0:08:41Unfortunately, he was bludgeoned and thrown in the back of a car.

0:08:41 > 0:08:43- It's a sweet story. - I was gonna to say, "Great!"

0:08:43 > 0:08:48And also, isn't it great to know it was so easy to evade capture?

0:08:48 > 0:08:50Now it's a chat show anecdote!

0:08:50 > 0:08:52"And they never caught us!"

0:08:54 > 0:08:55Yet.

0:08:57 > 0:09:00Now, Benedict's movie tonight - the Marvel family has expanded.

0:09:00 > 0:09:04New addition is Doctor Strange and you are Doctor Strange.

0:09:04 > 0:09:07- I am.- Out now. And, now, the odd thing is, apparently,

0:09:07 > 0:09:11somebody suggested the role of Doctor Strange to you years ago?

0:09:11 > 0:09:14Yeah, I was doing press in LA and this journalist said,

0:09:14 > 0:09:17"You'd make a great Doctor Strange."

0:09:17 > 0:09:20And I went, "Doctor who?" And he went, "That too."

0:09:20 > 0:09:24I said, "Who's Doctor Strange?" And he pitched who he is

0:09:24 > 0:09:26in the comics and I thought, "Right, I'll have a read of that."

0:09:26 > 0:09:29And it was very strange. No pun intended.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32I don't quite see the fit, he's clever and he's arrogant,

0:09:32 > 0:09:34and that fits with, I suppose, another well-known character

0:09:34 > 0:09:36I play, but apart from that, very different.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39And, basically, yeah, he's a New York neurosurgeon,

0:09:39 > 0:09:43he's at the top of his game, but he's kind of built this gilded cage

0:09:43 > 0:09:45around him from his success. He's arrogant and materialistic

0:09:45 > 0:09:49and funny and charming, but lost in a world of material wealth

0:09:49 > 0:09:51with no-one to share it with.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54He then has a cataclysmic car crash, which nearly kills him

0:09:54 > 0:09:56and destroys his hands and prevents him from being able

0:09:56 > 0:09:58to perform as a neurosurgeon.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01So he takes a one-way trip to a place in Kathmandu,

0:10:01 > 0:10:05called Kamar-Taj, which is the last, last, last, last hint he gets

0:10:05 > 0:10:07of salvation. And it's beyond Western science,

0:10:07 > 0:10:10but this guy just says, "Look, I went there and I was healed."

0:10:10 > 0:10:12So he goes and he meets the Ancient One,

0:10:12 > 0:10:15played by Tilda Swinton, and literally has his mind blown

0:10:15 > 0:10:19into the multiverse, comes round from that experience

0:10:19 > 0:10:23and trains to become a sorcerer and realises this new power he has

0:10:23 > 0:10:24in his hands.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27We've got a clip. This is you meeting the Ancient One,

0:10:27 > 0:10:29- played by Tilda Swinton.- OK.

0:10:29 > 0:10:31I spent my last dollar getting here, one-way ticket,

0:10:31 > 0:10:35and you're talking to me about healing through belief?

0:10:35 > 0:10:37You're a man looking at the world through a keyhole,

0:10:37 > 0:10:40and you've spent your whole life trying to widen that keyhole

0:10:40 > 0:10:44to see more, to know more, and now on hearing that it can

0:10:44 > 0:10:48be widened, in ways you can't imagine, you reject the possibility.

0:10:48 > 0:10:50I reject it because I do not believe in fairy tales

0:10:50 > 0:10:54about chakras, or energy, or the power of belief.

0:10:54 > 0:10:57There is NO such thing as spirit!

0:10:57 > 0:10:59We are made of matter and nothing more.

0:10:59 > 0:11:02You're just another tiny momentary speck within

0:11:02 > 0:11:04an indifferent universe.

0:11:04 > 0:11:05You think too little of yourself.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09Oh, you think you see through me, do you? Well, you don't.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11But I see through you!

0:11:29 > 0:11:30What did you just do to me?

0:11:30 > 0:11:32I pushed your astral form out of your physical form.

0:11:32 > 0:11:34What's in that tea?

0:11:34 > 0:11:36- Psilocybin? LSD?- It's just tea...

0:11:37 > 0:11:40..with a little honey.

0:11:40 > 0:11:42CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:11:48 > 0:11:51- And you filmed on location in Nepal...- Yes.

0:11:51 > 0:11:53..and often, I think, actors, they get movies and think,

0:11:53 > 0:11:55"Oh, great, I get to go to that place."

0:11:55 > 0:11:58This is unbelievable, I think, the way that television...

0:11:58 > 0:12:00- I mean, I know it's a broadcast medium but...- Yeah.

0:12:00 > 0:12:03..you get to Nepal and they know who you are.

0:12:03 > 0:12:06Yeah, it was unbelievable.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08I was quite... I was in that stage of the film,

0:12:08 > 0:12:12so I'm quite bearded up and all scraggly and desperate

0:12:12 > 0:12:14and even despite that, I was on the first day photographed

0:12:14 > 0:12:16and that was it.

0:12:16 > 0:12:19And by the end, there were thousands of people surrounding us.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21There was one very scary moment, these people started crowding

0:12:21 > 0:12:23round the car, we couldn't move.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26And it was literally like being the opposite...

0:12:26 > 0:12:28It was like being in a mobile cage that wasn't going anywhere

0:12:28 > 0:12:30in a zoo. It was really weird.

0:12:30 > 0:12:33So I had conversations with them and then it was like...

0:12:33 > 0:12:35"Don't really know what to say...

0:12:36 > 0:12:38"That's a nice shirt."

0:12:38 > 0:12:41And then I thought, "No, we're kind of like half an hour late,"

0:12:41 > 0:12:43and the car started rocking a bit with the new people turning up,

0:12:43 > 0:12:46pushing the new people... I think the first people to arrive

0:12:46 > 0:12:48were a bit embarrassed cos their faces were basically

0:12:48 > 0:12:49pressed against the glass!

0:12:49 > 0:12:52So we sort of slowly pushed the car door open saying,

0:12:52 > 0:12:54"Sorry, sorry, we really have to go," and just ran.

0:12:54 > 0:12:56There were hundreds of people by the end.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59And it's Sherlock, it's incredible. It's just got that...

0:12:59 > 0:13:00And it is.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02Cos you are like a nerd's wet dream.

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Cos you've got...

0:13:04 > 0:13:08You've got Sherlock, Star Trek and now Marvel.

0:13:08 > 0:13:09Ah, fangasm!

0:13:09 > 0:13:11I know, it's like... CHEERING

0:13:11 > 0:13:13That's your pension, right there.

0:13:13 > 0:13:15You can just do conventions.

0:13:15 > 0:13:17Get properly lazy doing what I actually do and just go

0:13:17 > 0:13:19and sign pictures of my face.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23There was a shot... I think you were on location in New York.

0:13:23 > 0:13:24Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27This is without the special effects.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29So this is Doctor Strange.

0:13:29 > 0:13:32- Is that...? What do you call it...? - I'm about to take off.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35- Oh, you're taking off? - Yeah, that's me about to fly.

0:13:35 > 0:13:36OK! He's about to fly.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39Anyway, for some reason, the way these things do,

0:13:39 > 0:13:43that image just captured people's imaginations.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46- God.- So they've taken Benedict, put him in different places.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48So here's Benedict on a zip wire.

0:13:48 > 0:13:50LAUGHTER

0:13:50 > 0:13:52He's also very sporty.

0:13:52 > 0:13:53There he is.

0:13:53 > 0:13:54LAUGHTER

0:13:55 > 0:13:58He's also cultured, music is his life.

0:13:58 > 0:13:59LAUGHTER There he is.

0:14:00 > 0:14:03And very good at the ice skating, ladies and gentlemen.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06LAUGHTER

0:14:06 > 0:14:08That looks like it's real.

0:14:08 > 0:14:10That looks like a Donald Trump move.

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Urgh! AUDIENCE GROANS

0:14:12 > 0:14:14By the way, we're sorry.

0:14:15 > 0:14:18- We're so sorry.- It's nearly over, it's nearly over.

0:14:18 > 0:14:22CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:14:25 > 0:14:28Bryan... Now, you know, you guys put the work in.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32Bryan Cranston, wow. The dedication to your craft.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34Cos Malcolm In The Middle, you would think,

0:14:34 > 0:14:36"Oh, a sitcom, how hard could that be?"

0:14:36 > 0:14:40But the writers really... They pushed you to extreme situations.

0:14:40 > 0:14:41They did.

0:14:41 > 0:14:44They often would say, "What would Bryan not do?"

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I was covered... Naked, covered in blue paint,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I was attached to the front of a city bus.

0:14:54 > 0:15:00I roller skated and, one time, the creator of the show came to me

0:15:00 > 0:15:03and said, "I know I told you that I would never ask you

0:15:03 > 0:15:06"to do something I wouldn't do. What I'm about to ask you,

0:15:06 > 0:15:08"I wouldn't do.

0:15:08 > 0:15:10"Would you wear...

0:15:10 > 0:15:13"75,000 honeybees on your body?"

0:15:13 > 0:15:16And I said, "Yeah, I think that sounds cool."

0:15:16 > 0:15:19And you did! We have a picture of it. There you are.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20Wow.

0:15:20 > 0:15:21Now, are they all bees?

0:15:21 > 0:15:24Oh, they're about three to four inches thick on there.

0:15:24 > 0:15:28- Oh, my God.- It looks like chain mail, doesn't it?

0:15:28 > 0:15:30It looks like there's a few bees and the rest of it's made up.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32- Oh, no, no.- So it's all bees? - Is that in the

0:15:32 > 0:15:36- Guinness Book of Records?- Sorry, I have a lot of questions about this.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38Can we just halt the proceedings to go through these?

0:15:38 > 0:15:39Sorry, but did you get stung?

0:15:39 > 0:15:42- I did get stung.- Ow. - Well, yes.- How many times?

0:15:42 > 0:15:46OK, so the first thing, when you're wearing 75,000 bees,

0:15:46 > 0:15:49it should not come as a surprise if you get stung.

0:15:49 > 0:15:50"What was that?!

0:15:52 > 0:15:55"Oh, my God, I got stung by a BEE!"

0:15:55 > 0:15:57"How did that...?!"

0:15:58 > 0:16:03So the thing you realise is that when you're wearing bees,

0:16:03 > 0:16:08you realise that the sting of a bee, about 95% of the pain

0:16:08 > 0:16:10is actually the surprise factor.

0:16:10 > 0:16:12"Ow! What? Oh, God!"

0:16:12 > 0:16:15- Tell me you didn't do that? - No, I didn't do that!

0:16:15 > 0:16:19So the beekeeper said, "If you get stung, let me know

0:16:19 > 0:16:22"and I'll immediately flip out the stinger

0:16:22 > 0:16:24"with the sack of venom in it."

0:16:24 > 0:16:28Because if you flick it out, then it won't get pumped into your system.

0:16:28 > 0:16:31How is he going to find the sting amongst 35,000 bees?!

0:16:31 > 0:16:34Talk about a sting in a haystack.

0:16:34 > 0:16:37I had to stand that way, I had to stand,

0:16:37 > 0:16:42and in the scene I need to turn and that's when I got stung.

0:16:42 > 0:16:47I said, "Oh..." I felt just a little pinprick,

0:16:47 > 0:16:49and I went, "Oh, I think I got stung,"

0:16:49 > 0:16:53and the beekeeper goes, "Where?" He's ready!

0:16:53 > 0:16:57And I said, "In the ball sack."

0:17:00 > 0:17:02And he goes, "Sorry, man!"

0:17:04 > 0:17:06APPLAUSE

0:17:06 > 0:17:11- Not going there.- Oh, my God!

0:17:13 > 0:17:16Now, Eddie Redmayne, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them,

0:17:16 > 0:17:18it opens on November 18th,

0:17:18 > 0:17:21and you were on this programme, I believe, moaning about

0:17:21 > 0:17:26not being in Harry Potter. Did JK Rowling hear you?

0:17:26 > 0:17:32If so, thank you. This is like the greatest talk show ever!

0:17:32 > 0:17:34Maybe, who knows?

0:17:34 > 0:17:38You were annoyed, because there's even a ginger family in Harry Potter!

0:17:38 > 0:17:42True. I would say disappointed rather than annoyed.

0:17:42 > 0:17:47- You were the only actor in Equity not to be in it!- Literally!

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Yes, because all our friends were in it,

0:17:50 > 0:17:52or at least getting auditions.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55But then I actually had an audition to play the young Voldemort

0:17:55 > 0:17:56while I was still at university,

0:17:56 > 0:17:59and it was with the assistant of the assistant of the assistant

0:17:59 > 0:18:01of the casting director, and I didn't.

0:18:01 > 0:18:05I don't think she even allowed me to finish the audition.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06- It was a sad moment.- Her loss.

0:18:06 > 0:18:08A big moment for me.

0:18:10 > 0:18:12Your whole career has been leading up to this moment.

0:18:12 > 0:18:14"Look at me now!"

0:18:17 > 0:18:20Now this is a prequel to the Harry Potter story.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24You don't need to have ever seen a Harry Potter film.

0:18:24 > 0:18:28It is set in the 1920s in the jazz age in New York

0:18:28 > 0:18:30and it's about the wizarding world.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32It's about you. About YOU!

0:18:32 > 0:18:35It's about me! It's about this guy Newt Scamander

0:18:35 > 0:18:38who is an English magizoologist, don't you know,

0:18:38 > 0:18:39who comes over to New York

0:18:39 > 0:18:43with all these extraordinary magical creatures in his case,

0:18:43 > 0:18:46and one of them gets out or maybe a few of them get out,

0:18:46 > 0:18:49and it sets a load of events into motion,

0:18:49 > 0:18:51and it was so much fun to make

0:18:51 > 0:18:54and we had the most wonderful time doing it.

0:18:54 > 0:18:55It's exciting.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59Let's have a taste of Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them.

0:19:15 > 0:19:18GROWLING

0:19:18 > 0:19:20Fenestrae!

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Oh!

0:20:02 > 0:20:03Very good!

0:20:03 > 0:20:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Excellent.

0:20:09 > 0:20:12You nailed it! You nailed it!

0:20:14 > 0:20:17- Wow!- In terms of preparing for roles,

0:20:17 > 0:20:20apparently JK Rowling was very hands-on with you.

0:20:20 > 0:20:22She had specific requests.

0:20:22 > 0:20:26It was amazing meeting her, because we only got to meet her

0:20:26 > 0:20:30a week or three before we started filming

0:20:30 > 0:20:33and all the sort of pleasantries of, "Nice to meet you,"

0:20:33 > 0:20:37went very quickly and we just started talking

0:20:37 > 0:20:38at each other about Newt.

0:20:38 > 0:20:41One of the things was she had written this scene

0:20:41 > 0:20:44that Newt... He seems like a slender lad and halfway through

0:20:44 > 0:20:48he takes off his shirt and you realise he has scars.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51For an actor, if you look like me, it's a complete shag,

0:20:51 > 0:20:54because you're like, "Oh, no, that means seven months in the gym

0:20:54 > 0:20:58"attempting to get a six-pack." And so, that all happened

0:20:58 > 0:21:01and we did all that and I did that thing of, like,

0:21:01 > 0:21:04you're pumping iron before the take and sweating

0:21:04 > 0:21:06and everyone thinks you look like a complete fool.

0:21:06 > 0:21:11Doing the whole take going, "Hnng!"

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Obviously, the scene was cut!

0:21:14 > 0:21:16LAUGHTER

0:21:17 > 0:21:21Could Newt have been a little pot-bellied?

0:21:21 > 0:21:24I think he could have been, but the problem was...

0:21:24 > 0:21:26The problem was that JK Rowling

0:21:26 > 0:21:28wanted to see you with your shirt off!

0:21:31 > 0:21:33I don't know whether the scene was cut

0:21:33 > 0:21:36because the director sweetly said, "It just didn't feel right,"

0:21:36 > 0:21:39or because my acting was so bad because I was busy going, "Hnng!"

0:21:41 > 0:21:44He's ripped but he's really constipated!

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Does Newt Scamander have signature moves?

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Basically, what was extraordinary was the whole wandy thing.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56When you get to hold a wand, like, you don't realise...

0:21:56 > 0:21:59I was obsessed with magic when I was a kid,

0:21:59 > 0:22:02your inner nine-year-old is having a field day,

0:22:02 > 0:22:05but then I got the wand in my hand

0:22:05 > 0:22:07and I didn't know what to do with it.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10I was like, "Oh, this is the greatest moment I've ever expected,"

0:22:10 > 0:22:14and it was a bit flimsy, slightly odd, felt a bit weird,

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- so you're sent off to wand school... - Of course.

0:22:17 > 0:22:21..and you watch all the other films and steal from Dan Radcliffe.

0:22:21 > 0:22:24What was weird were these moments...

0:22:24 > 0:22:28I remember Colin Farrell and I being in the trailer one morning

0:22:28 > 0:22:31and we'd done a scene the day before that involved wands,

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and I looked over and I saw him gently holding his arm

0:22:34 > 0:22:36and I had a real pain in my upper arm

0:22:36 > 0:22:40and he turned to me and he was like, "Have you got wand wrist?

0:22:40 > 0:22:43"Wizard's elbow!"

0:22:44 > 0:22:47It's a real thing, when you are doing spells,

0:22:47 > 0:22:50but there's nothing to, like, hit against.

0:22:50 > 0:22:53A lot of wizards talk about it.

0:22:53 > 0:22:55Replacement surgery and...

0:22:55 > 0:22:58We're suing Warner Brothers.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00Now, a lot of people don't know this,

0:23:00 > 0:23:04but Eddie is in fact a highly trained master magician.

0:23:04 > 0:23:07- Are you a member of the Magic Circle?- Um...no.

0:23:07 > 0:23:10LAUGHTER

0:23:14 > 0:23:16Wow!

0:23:16 > 0:23:18That moment was one of deep despair and loss.

0:23:18 > 0:23:20It was a dream when I was a child.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23- Was it really?- Please tell me you're about to present me

0:23:23 > 0:23:27- with some Magic Circle....- I know that you can do amazing magic.

0:23:27 > 0:23:32- We have here just a totally ordinary colouring book.- Oh!

0:23:32 > 0:23:34This is totally ordinary.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38But Eddie can do magic with it.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40- Isn't that right, Eddie?- I mean...

0:23:42 > 0:23:45Are you sitting comfortably, children?

0:23:45 > 0:23:46- No!- Oh!

0:23:48 > 0:23:51It's totally ordinary, but you mustn't touch it!

0:23:53 > 0:23:54OK.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- Eddie's got it.- So excited.

0:23:57 > 0:23:58So, I loved Paul Daniels.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01You probably won't know who Paul Daniels is.

0:24:01 > 0:24:04The late Paul Daniels was an amazing magician who used to be on telly

0:24:04 > 0:24:07every Saturday night and I was obsessed with him.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09This is my moment to be on television doing magic.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11- Ben, are you ready?- I'm ready.

0:24:11 > 0:24:14This is a colouring book, there is nothing weird, odd or bizarre

0:24:14 > 0:24:19about it, other than it says the word "magic" on the front of it.

0:24:19 > 0:24:22There is actually nothing in the colouring book. I'm showing you.

0:24:22 > 0:24:26- Do you see?- There is nothing. - Nothing in it.

0:24:26 > 0:24:29- But, Bryan...- Yes.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Will you blow on the colouring book?

0:24:32 > 0:24:33I beg your pardon?

0:24:37 > 0:24:39No, harder than that.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41LAUGHTER

0:24:44 > 0:24:46Come on! Blow hard!

0:24:46 > 0:24:49APPLAUSE

0:24:49 > 0:24:50I'm going to blow hard.

0:24:50 > 0:24:53Ah! Let's see what that's done, shall we?

0:24:55 > 0:24:58Oh! Oh! Wow!

0:24:58 > 0:25:00Pictures, don't you know!

0:25:00 > 0:25:02That is some crazy magic!

0:25:02 > 0:25:04- There's more, there's more.- More?!

0:25:04 > 0:25:08- There's more! - Don't stop me right now.

0:25:08 > 0:25:10OK, so the next stage is...

0:25:10 > 0:25:13- Now we have pictures, Ben, we have pictures.- I can see the pictures.

0:25:13 > 0:25:17- Will you blow on it?- I will.

0:25:17 > 0:25:20- Give me your full Smaug. - I will blow hard.

0:25:20 > 0:25:21Pah!

0:25:21 > 0:25:24Was it hard enough?

0:25:24 > 0:25:26I should do panto!

0:25:26 > 0:25:29Oh, yes! Was it hard enough?

0:25:29 > 0:25:31- We've talked about this, Mum! - Let's see.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34- No, it wasn't hard enough.- Oh!

0:25:34 > 0:25:36I'm a wizard.

0:25:36 > 0:25:39Oh!

0:25:39 > 0:25:41That was good!

0:25:41 > 0:25:45- It's been sitting there awkwardly for the whole show.- Don't spoil it!

0:25:45 > 0:25:52And maybe, for full-on Marvel, like, wizarding crossover,

0:25:52 > 0:25:56- the potential for Doctor Strange... - We might get sued for this.

0:25:56 > 0:25:59Will you give us a spell, Ben?

0:25:59 > 0:26:02- Aza-ka-zham!- Good!- Very good.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04Actually, better than I did.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Drumroll?

0:26:06 > 0:26:08There you go!

0:26:11 > 0:26:16Oh, my! Oh! Oh! Oh!

0:26:16 > 0:26:19APPLAUSE

0:26:19 > 0:26:22I spent months trying to do that.

0:26:22 > 0:26:26Very good. They loved it, Eddie!

0:26:26 > 0:26:29Thank you for praising my greatest moment.

0:26:29 > 0:26:33- Burn him! Burn him!- The witch!

0:26:33 > 0:26:36Now, Bryan Cranston, an extraordinary life,

0:26:36 > 0:26:39and you have put it all into an excellent book

0:26:39 > 0:26:43called A Life In Parts, and it's in shops now.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45It's not just a straightforward autobiography.

0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's a collection of stories, of moments in your life.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Yeah, stories I've been telling all my life

0:26:51 > 0:26:54and what you realise is that storytelling

0:26:54 > 0:26:58is really the wonderful thing about human beings.

0:26:58 > 0:27:01It's probably the first memory that we have,

0:27:01 > 0:27:04of dragging a book to our parent's lap, and being told a story,

0:27:04 > 0:27:06and whether you're two or 102,

0:27:06 > 0:27:09it's the most wonderful thing about human beings.

0:27:09 > 0:27:14There's a select few of us who are so fortunate to be able to be

0:27:14 > 0:27:19also the storytellers in our lives, and to be able to put it in paper

0:27:19 > 0:27:23and have people read about the ups and downs

0:27:23 > 0:27:26and the times that I was insecure and doubted

0:27:26 > 0:27:30where my next meal was coming from

0:27:30 > 0:27:35or a challenging childhood with abandonment and alcoholism

0:27:35 > 0:27:39and all kinds of interesting, unfortunate things.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41But I try to look at it that, you know,

0:27:41 > 0:27:43when something unfortunate happens,

0:27:43 > 0:27:45you have built-in conflict,

0:27:45 > 0:27:49and that ultimately is what's going to make a good story.

0:27:49 > 0:27:52It's a really varied mix of stories.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- You are an ordained minister. - I am indeed, son.

0:27:55 > 0:27:57Yes. There was a very busy minister

0:27:57 > 0:28:02who encouraged you to pick up the slack.

0:28:02 > 0:28:05One of my summer jobs was on Catalina Island

0:28:05 > 0:28:10off the coast of California and I befriended a guy named Reverend Bob

0:28:10 > 0:28:13who was a great guy, didn't drink, didn't do any drugs.

0:28:13 > 0:28:16He was just looking for a good time

0:28:16 > 0:28:19and he was a Universal Life Church Reverend,

0:28:19 > 0:28:23which was actually started as a tax haven,

0:28:23 > 0:28:25but they also did weddings!

0:28:25 > 0:28:27LAUGHTER

0:28:27 > 0:28:29So I was attracted to this.

0:28:29 > 0:28:31He came to me one day and said,

0:28:31 > 0:28:34"Bryan, I need you to perform a wedding, because I have booked

0:28:34 > 0:28:37"two weddings, same day, same time, different locations."

0:28:37 > 0:28:39I went, "What are you talking about? I can't do that."

0:28:39 > 0:28:44He said, "No, you can, I'll just put the certificate in the typewriter

0:28:44 > 0:28:48"and type in your name, we send it off to the Secretary of State,

0:28:48 > 0:28:52"it gets registered and you are legally an ordained minister."

0:28:52 > 0:28:55And I said, "I can't do this, I really can't."

0:28:55 > 0:28:58This is the mid-'70s, "I can't do this, I really can't."

0:28:58 > 0:29:01"It pays 200," and I go, "I'll do it!"

0:29:02 > 0:29:06He said, "Here's a copy of Kahlil Gibran, people like that,

0:29:06 > 0:29:10"just talk to them, have the bride sign here, the groom sign here,

0:29:10 > 0:29:11"you're done."

0:29:11 > 0:29:15OK. I had hair down to here,

0:29:15 > 0:29:20I was sunburned, I had shorts, flip-flops and a Hawaiian shirt.

0:29:20 > 0:29:22I show up... It was at an airport,

0:29:22 > 0:29:24and I'm looking around and I thought,

0:29:24 > 0:29:28"Oh, my." This guy says, "Who are you?"

0:29:28 > 0:29:32I went, "I'm the Minister.

0:29:32 > 0:29:33"Where are we going to do this?"

0:29:33 > 0:29:37He said, "We are going to go into a six-seater aeroplane.

0:29:37 > 0:29:39"Once we get over the Hollywood sign,

0:29:39 > 0:29:41"we want to start the ceremony."

0:29:41 > 0:29:45I go, "Piece of cake, no problem." Inside, of course, I'm like that.

0:29:45 > 0:29:49We get inside, I'm next to the pilot, the bride and groom,

0:29:49 > 0:29:50the witnesses in the back.

0:29:50 > 0:29:55That's a twin engine prop plane. So, I have to scream.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58I'm in the back, going...

0:29:58 > 0:30:02"REMEMBER, LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

0:30:02 > 0:30:06"DON'T STAND IN EACH OTHER'S SHADOW!

0:30:06 > 0:30:09"THE WILLOW AND THE OAK!

0:30:09 > 0:30:12"TRUST THE FOUNDATION OF LOVE!

0:30:13 > 0:30:18"WHATEVER YOU ARE IN DOUBT, TRUST YOUR LOVE TOGETHER!"

0:30:20 > 0:30:22They're holding hands in the back.

0:30:24 > 0:30:27I'm just wheeling and dealing,

0:30:27 > 0:30:30but it was an acting exercise.

0:30:30 > 0:30:35They were holding hands and looking to me, the figure of authority.

0:30:35 > 0:30:38I went, "Oh, man, don't mess this up."

0:30:38 > 0:30:41Again, how many connections are on this couch?

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Benedict, you can marry people. Is this right?

0:30:46 > 0:30:49We're going to have a wedding-off, now.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Yes, it sort of is, yes.

0:30:52 > 0:30:57- You have married people?- I married Rob Rinder to his partner, Seth.

0:30:57 > 0:31:00Judge Rinder, you know, Judge Rinder. He married him.

0:31:00 > 0:31:03I mean, he didn't marry him. He officiated.

0:31:03 > 0:31:05- That would be a bit sticky. - On Ibiza.

0:31:05 > 0:31:09There are so many bits of it that are unlikely.

0:31:09 > 0:31:12It's you, it's Judge Rinder, it's Ibiza. It's a wedding!

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Way back when he was Rob Rinder, that's who I was marrying.

0:31:17 > 0:31:21You weren't marrying him.

0:31:21 > 0:31:24No, I was, I was performing the ceremony to Seth, his partner.

0:31:24 > 0:31:31He's a judge now. I am pretty sure I could do that,

0:31:31 > 0:31:34but I didn't ever see any documentation.

0:31:34 > 0:31:38I'm sure it's legitimate.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41To be honest, I think they had done the serious stuff,

0:31:41 > 0:31:43probably with Bryan in an aeroplane.

0:31:43 > 0:31:45- On the way!- The real serious stuff.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47I was just a bit of icing on the cake in Ibiza.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50It was an amazing thing to do. I didn't have to fight the noise,

0:31:50 > 0:31:53but it was in the baking heat of Ibiza at the edge of a cliff.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56To be honest, it's still, whatever the situation,

0:31:56 > 0:31:59to be near people making that vow, it's fantastic.

0:31:59 > 0:32:00It's an incredible thing to witness.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03Also, odd to now witness what has happened to him.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06- He's now Judge Rinder, he's on Strictly Come Dancing.- Very odd.

0:32:06 > 0:32:09It's just extraordinary.

0:32:09 > 0:32:10I think I have the same...

0:32:10 > 0:32:13- Yes, there he is.- Did you know he could dance?

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Not like that, no.

0:32:17 > 0:32:18It's extraordinary.

0:32:18 > 0:32:19He is a dear friend.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22To watch anyone you know do something unexpectedly brilliant

0:32:22 > 0:32:25like that, yeah, you're just filled with pride.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27It's very funny and very brilliant.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29- Are you voting?- Not yet. I haven't been in the country to vote.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32I've been catching up. When it gets crucial, yes.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35- Yeah, yeah, yeah.- Multiple dialling.

0:32:35 > 0:32:37Friends to vote.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Eddie Redmayne, your wedding sounds like one of those classic weddings

0:32:40 > 0:32:45where your wife was late, but she was properly late?

0:32:45 > 0:32:48- Yeah, no, she was. - You mean she was already pregnant?

0:32:48 > 0:32:50LAUGHTER

0:32:52 > 0:32:54Um, no...

0:32:54 > 0:32:57Not that I'm aware.

0:32:57 > 0:33:00Um, she... No, she was properly late,

0:33:00 > 0:33:03but she's always just generally late in life.

0:33:03 > 0:33:07So... It transpired we got married somewhere where the chapel

0:33:07 > 0:33:11was right next to where she was getting ready and changed.

0:33:11 > 0:33:15Part of the choice was knowing that I could go and scream up to her room

0:33:15 > 0:33:16if she didn't come.

0:33:16 > 0:33:19But I was actually relatively mellow and standing at the front.

0:33:19 > 0:33:22But, er, everyone else, after 45 minutes, was going...

0:33:22 > 0:33:26I was like, "No, she's never been on time for anything in her life.

0:33:26 > 0:33:29"It's absolutely good and right and as it should be."

0:33:29 > 0:33:30That's so... Like, what was she doing?

0:33:30 > 0:33:33I always think that's so weird, when people are 45 minutes late

0:33:33 > 0:33:34for their own wedding. What the...

0:33:34 > 0:33:36You knew this was happening. LAUGHTER

0:33:36 > 0:33:39- You've been planning it for a year. - I know, but I...

0:33:39 > 0:33:43- She's pregnant, get off her back! - LAUGHTER

0:33:43 > 0:33:45She was adjusting the dress!

0:33:45 > 0:33:47Letting it out a little bit.

0:33:47 > 0:33:48A little bit, yeah.

0:33:48 > 0:33:52Her lovely grandfather had to be restrained from going

0:33:52 > 0:33:53and summoning her.

0:33:53 > 0:33:56But it was good, she arrived and it was all fun.

0:33:56 > 0:33:57I'm annoyed on your behalf.

0:33:57 > 0:33:58Thank you.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01Now, the dating, the dating agency.

0:34:01 > 0:34:03Bryan's life... seriously, get this book.

0:34:03 > 0:34:05The best life ever.

0:34:05 > 0:34:07Just because I'm old.

0:34:07 > 0:34:10Was the dating agency before the weddings or after the weddings?

0:34:10 > 0:34:13It was actually after.

0:34:13 > 0:34:17This is a lovely thing, well, they weren't lovely,

0:34:17 > 0:34:19but we don't have them any more.

0:34:19 > 0:34:23This was... You were filming people's video profiles?

0:34:23 > 0:34:27Right, before the online companies of dating and that sort of thing,

0:34:27 > 0:34:29you actually had to go into an office.

0:34:29 > 0:34:31This company was called Great Expectations.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34It was actually very, very successful.

0:34:34 > 0:34:36They would match people up.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38Basically, you would go in, you would take a picture,

0:34:38 > 0:34:40write out a profile of who you are,

0:34:40 > 0:34:43and then you would have a short videotape

0:34:43 > 0:34:46so that men or women can watch someone and go,

0:34:46 > 0:34:48"I like the feel of this person.

0:34:48 > 0:34:50"It feels genuine," or whatever.

0:34:50 > 0:34:52So, I would conduct the videotape interviews and I would

0:34:52 > 0:34:54have a little secret button.

0:34:54 > 0:34:58Most of them would come in and go, "Well, I like walks on the beach

0:34:58 > 0:35:00"and I'm very romantic, and I like to cook at home."

0:35:00 > 0:35:02It's like, "OK, calm down.

0:35:02 > 0:35:05"This is not going to work because you're trying too hard.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07"Just relax."

0:35:07 > 0:35:09So I would usually tell a joke, and then they would laugh

0:35:09 > 0:35:11and I'd push the button when they're laughing,

0:35:11 > 0:35:14and start the tape, and then say, "Do you have a joke?"

0:35:14 > 0:35:17And they would say something or tell a joke, not knowing

0:35:17 > 0:35:19they were being taped.

0:35:19 > 0:35:2150 seconds later, I'd say, "That's it, we're done."

0:35:21 > 0:35:25We just wanted to get a little snippet of who they really are.

0:35:25 > 0:35:26And it really worked.

0:35:26 > 0:35:30I don't know, because, again, all the apps and things now,

0:35:30 > 0:35:32people have forgotten these things.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34Somebody, very handily,

0:35:34 > 0:35:38did a little montage of men who had done these things.

0:35:38 > 0:35:41I don't know if you've directed any of these...

0:35:41 > 0:35:43- It's quite possible.- We'll see the name of the company,

0:35:43 > 0:35:45I can't remember what it is. Here we go.

0:35:45 > 0:35:49- # Are you looking for me? - Someone, someone

0:36:09 > 0:36:11Hi. My name is Monroe.

0:36:14 > 0:36:17Hi, my name is Phil. Most of my friends call me Big Phil.

0:36:17 > 0:36:22LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:36:25 > 0:36:26Genius!

0:36:27 > 0:36:32- OK. So, er, you're the expert. You've been here.- Yes, uh-huh.

0:36:32 > 0:36:35So, if we replay the opening,

0:36:35 > 0:36:39I wonder if you could show the boys how it might be done.

0:36:39 > 0:36:41- OK.- So, here we go.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44- # Are you looking for me - Someone, someone

0:36:44 > 0:36:47- # I'm looking for someone - Where can you be?

0:36:47 > 0:36:48# Where can you be?

0:37:02 > 0:37:06LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:37:06 > 0:37:08Very good. # I'm looking for someone... #

0:37:45 > 0:37:46..the doctor will see you now.

0:37:46 > 0:37:48CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:48 > 0:37:50# Are you looking for me? #

0:37:50 > 0:37:52Beautiful. Works of art.

0:37:54 > 0:37:57That is going to guarantee that we would all have stayed single.

0:38:00 > 0:38:02Excellent work. Right, it's time for music.

0:38:02 > 0:38:07This lady is the youngest Grammy winner ever, and 20 years later,

0:42:08 > 0:42:11- That was beautiful.- Thank you. I feel like I'm interrupting

0:42:11 > 0:42:13the flow, being the only girl, but it feels very nice.

0:42:13 > 0:42:15No, no.

0:42:15 > 0:42:17They were missing the girls.

0:42:17 > 0:42:18Not at all. We're just acting normal.

0:42:22 > 0:42:24The vibe has changed.

0:42:38 > 0:42:40Good luck with it. It deserves to do well.

0:42:40 > 0:42:42And I was saying there,

0:42:42 > 0:42:44you've been in the business for 20 years.

0:42:44 > 0:42:49- But you're so young. You're still in your early 30s?- I'm 34, yeah.

0:42:49 > 0:42:53- You were a proper child.- A baby. - How old were you for the Grammy?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55I was a foetus when I started.

0:42:55 > 0:42:57LAUGHTER

0:42:57 > 0:43:00I basically was...14 when I won my... Yeah.

0:43:00 > 0:43:04- Oh, look!- That's some fantastic hair right there.

0:43:04 > 0:43:07- Yes.- Throwing it back, throwing it back, yes.

0:43:07 > 0:43:10No, I'd been singing on stage since I was five.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12Did you ever get to a point where you were nervous,

0:43:12 > 0:43:15or because you started so young, you passed that?

0:43:15 > 0:43:16Only as I've gotten older.

0:43:16 > 0:43:18You realise, the humanity sets in,

0:43:18 > 0:43:20and you realise, "Oh, well, I'm not superhuman,"

0:43:20 > 0:43:25but as a kid, I started so young that it didn't even faze me. But...

0:43:25 > 0:43:29I think for people here, we associate you with country roots,

0:43:29 > 0:43:33the American heartland, but you genuinely like it here,

0:43:33 > 0:43:34you look out on an audience

0:43:34 > 0:43:37and it's so different to the audience you see in America?

0:43:37 > 0:43:40My audiences have always been diverse, as far as age goes.

0:43:40 > 0:43:44But here, yeah, there's like leather and piercings,

0:43:44 > 0:43:47everything, it's such a wide variety of people.

0:43:47 > 0:43:50Here, they really love music.

0:43:50 > 0:43:53They know the album. It's not just that they know the singles.

0:43:53 > 0:43:55I'll play an obscure song

0:43:55 > 0:43:58and people will be singing all of the words, it's really cool.

0:43:58 > 0:44:01- That's nice.- Great audiences here. - You can just relax, can't you?

0:44:01 > 0:44:05- Let them do it. - Exactly! You sing!

0:44:05 > 0:44:07People want to know, will this album be toured?

0:44:07 > 0:44:09Are you going to tour in Britain?

0:44:09 > 0:44:11Yes, we're doing six shows here in February

0:44:11 > 0:44:14and then we'll be back in the fall to hopefully do more shows.

0:44:14 > 0:44:17Yeah, I love it here, I'll be back much more.

0:44:17 > 0:44:20Come and see us again. LeAnn Rimes, everybody!

0:44:20 > 0:44:21APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

0:44:21 > 0:44:22OK.

0:44:22 > 0:44:27Just before we go, we do have time to visit the big red chair.

0:44:27 > 0:44:28Let's see who's there.

0:44:28 > 0:44:30- Hello, sir.- Hello, good evening!

0:44:30 > 0:44:32GRAHAM SIGHS, AUDIENCE LAUGH

0:44:32 > 0:44:34That's right.

0:44:34 > 0:44:36LAUGHTER

0:44:36 > 0:44:39That wasn't just me. That wasn't just me. Bryan Cranston also.

0:44:39 > 0:44:41He said that as well.

0:44:41 > 0:44:43We're older, our patience has gone.

0:44:43 > 0:44:46- Thin, thin.- Thin, thin.

0:44:46 > 0:44:48OK, let's try somebody else.

0:44:48 > 0:44:50- Hello.- Hi.- What's your name?

0:44:50 > 0:44:52- Jen.- Lovely. Where are you from, Jen?

0:44:55 > 0:44:59- I work in tech. - In tech. She works in tech.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01- Sounds fishy.- No, it does.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03I'm going to explore. What do you do in tech?

0:45:03 > 0:45:07I lead the team that does customer management

0:45:07 > 0:45:09for a software company.

0:45:09 > 0:45:10I'm so sorry I asked.

0:45:10 > 0:45:12LAUGHTER

0:45:12 > 0:45:14- That's why I say tech.- Go even deeper. One more level deep.

0:45:14 > 0:45:17Even she sounded bored.

0:45:17 > 0:45:20She was smiling and trying to sound enthusiastic

0:45:20 > 0:45:23but really she's thinking, "Jesus, I'm doing it again tomorrow."

0:45:25 > 0:45:27Off you go with your story.

0:45:27 > 0:45:29So, my boyfriend and I, after school, moved to Boston

0:45:29 > 0:45:31and my parents were coming to visit.

0:45:31 > 0:45:33We hadn't spent a ton of time as a group together

0:45:33 > 0:45:36so I warned my boyfriend that my parents are pretty open,

0:45:36 > 0:45:38like to say a lot of stuff.

0:45:38 > 0:45:39And we went out shopping one day

0:45:39 > 0:45:42and ended up at a bath and body works type of store.

0:45:42 > 0:45:45My parents were looking at some of the products

0:45:45 > 0:45:49and my dad picks up this pot of body powder and was talking to the woman.

0:45:49 > 0:45:51My mum comes over and the woman says,

0:45:51 > 0:45:54"It's really great, you can have a shower, put it on."

0:45:54 > 0:45:56My mum looks at my dad and looks at my boyfriend and goes,

0:45:56 > 0:45:59"Oh, you can put it on your balls after the shower."

0:45:59 > 0:46:01Like, yeah, it'll smell amazing!

0:46:01 > 0:46:04My boyfriend just turns totally white and walks out of the store.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07It ended up working out. Ten years later, we're still together.

0:46:13 > 0:46:15I...

0:46:15 > 0:46:17I don't even know what that story was about!

0:46:20 > 0:46:23- Balls.- How was that a story? - Powdered balls.

0:46:23 > 0:46:26- I got the powdered balls bit. - I found it quite emotional.

0:46:28 > 0:46:29You've had enough.
