0:00:21 > 0:00:23APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:00:23 > 0:00:24Oh!
0:00:29 > 0:00:31For me? Is that for me?
0:00:33 > 0:00:34Thank you.
0:00:34 > 0:00:36Thank you so much!
0:00:36 > 0:00:38No... No.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41It's getting silly now. Hello and welcome!
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Ladies and gentleman, we have a packed sofa tonight.
0:00:43 > 0:00:47Sadly two people we HAVEN'T got on the show are the Prime Minister
0:00:47 > 0:00:49and her lovely husband, Philip.
0:00:49 > 0:00:50LAUGHTER
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Have you seen them on The One Show? Woohoo(!)
0:00:54 > 0:00:56Yeah! Riveting.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59They spent most of the interview speaking about their marriage.
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Guess what? It's strong and stable.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06Who knew? They also spoke about their home life.
0:01:06 > 0:01:09She's a good cook, he takes out the bins.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13And she's never had a red box in the bedroom.
0:01:14 > 0:01:19LAUGHTER Bit more than I wanted to know, if I'm honest.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22Hey, the election campaign REALLY hotted up this week.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Who am I kidding?!
0:01:24 > 0:01:26Yeah, the draft Labour manifesto got leaked.
0:01:28 > 0:01:30Jeremy Corbyn's proposal is a massive increase
0:01:30 > 0:01:31in education spending.
0:01:31 > 0:01:35He says there are too many people in the country who can't even count.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37I mean, here he is with one of them.
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Yeah.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42APPLAUSE
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Meanwhile, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron... There he is!
0:01:47 > 0:01:50That's Tim Farron. He said he has completely ruled out
0:01:50 > 0:01:52a coalition with any other parties.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56Yeah, in much the same way that I've completely ruled out marrying
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Brad Pitt. Yeah, all MY decision. Yeah.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04New Ukip leader, Paul Nuttall...
0:02:05 > 0:02:08He laid out his plans - well done, him. In order to cut immigration,
0:02:08 > 0:02:13Ukip have proposed a "one in, one out" system in Britain.
0:02:13 > 0:02:18So, say we'd take in a Polish nurse and then we could swap them for...
0:02:18 > 0:02:21Oh, yeah, lovely. Yeah, it's good. This is working.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26In European news, France has a new president. Un president.
0:02:26 > 0:02:31Yes, that is President Macron, with his wife, Brigitte.
0:02:31 > 0:02:35Now, there were raised eyebrows that Brigitte is 24 years older than him.
0:02:35 > 0:02:38But, hey, Donald Trump is 24 years older than HIS wife,
0:02:38 > 0:02:41and who is really bothered by that?
0:02:44 > 0:02:46Oh, yeah. Hey, let's get some guests on!
0:02:48 > 0:02:51Later, we will have music from Ireland's own Imelda May!
0:02:51 > 0:02:54CHEERING
0:02:54 > 0:02:56But first, he's one of the funniest men in Britain.
0:02:56 > 0:03:00It's a warm welcome back to my favourite comedian, Jason Manford, everybody!
0:03:00 > 0:03:05- CHEERING Suited and booted. Looking very smart.- Hello.
0:03:05 > 0:03:07VERY smart! Yeah, lovely, lovely.
0:03:09 > 0:03:11From teenage pop star to award-winning actress,
0:03:11 > 0:03:14we've loved her in Doctor Who and Penny Dreadful,
0:03:14 > 0:03:17now she's back on the stage as Yerma, it's Billie Piper.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:25 > 0:03:29- How are you?- I'm good! - Jason Manford, Billie Piper.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33And they're the men behind the biggest British movie of the year -
0:03:33 > 0:03:35King Arthur: Legend of the Sword.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Come on, come on!
0:03:47 > 0:03:49Come on, here you go!
0:03:49 > 0:03:52Hello, sir, very nice to see you. Have a seat.
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Hello, hello. Come in, sit down.
0:03:55 > 0:03:56APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:04:02 > 0:04:03Feel the love.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05- Welcome, all. Cheers.- Chin-chin.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08Cheers, sir, yeah. I like that, yeah, straight in.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- No messing about. - It's what got you to the sofa!
0:04:12 > 0:04:14This is the reason I came.
0:04:14 > 0:04:16Ladies and gentleman, something very special tonight -
0:04:16 > 0:04:19this is the first time on the sofa,
0:04:19 > 0:04:24we've had someone who has won both an Olivier Award
0:04:24 > 0:04:28and a Smash Hits award, ladies and gentleman. It's Billie Piper
0:04:28 > 0:04:30has done both those things.
0:04:30 > 0:04:32APPLAUSE Yes!
0:04:35 > 0:04:37It's good.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Should I get... Could I get an award for THAT?
0:04:40 > 0:04:44You know, when you were getting your Smash Hits award,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48it seemed pretty unlikely you would ever be getting an Olivier Award.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51- Correct.- That's amazing. - I know, it was great.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Jason, you hosted the Olivier Awards.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I did, yes. The closest I'M going to get to one.
0:04:56 > 0:04:57It was a fun night.
0:04:57 > 0:05:00- You were brilliant.- You won five awards, I think, that night,
0:05:00 > 0:05:02for Yerma. It was amazing. Just kept coming up.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04You were on stage more than me.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07I think we won two, but...
0:05:07 > 0:05:09- Did you?! - Yeah, but it was a good night.
0:05:09 > 0:05:11That was one LONG speech!
0:05:12 > 0:05:14When people come round to your house,
0:05:14 > 0:05:17are they impressed that you've got an Olivier Award?
0:05:17 > 0:05:21Yeah, they are. But they love the Smash Hits award,
0:05:21 > 0:05:26cos it's that big... gold, iconic award.
0:05:26 > 0:05:28They love it. They have pictures with it, everything.
0:05:28 > 0:05:33I have to tell you I've never heard of the Olivier Award, but I've heard of the Smash Hits award.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36LAUGHTER First time for Guy and Charlie.
0:05:36 > 0:05:38They have not been here before.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41But you had the premiere of your movie this week, King Arthur.
0:05:41 > 0:05:42- How did it go?- Very well.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45We had a couple of them. We had one in LA on Monday.
0:05:45 > 0:05:47Oh, smell you!
0:05:47 > 0:05:50I know right, very fancy. Then one last night in Leicester Square.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53You do the red carpet and then do you actually watch the film?
0:05:53 > 0:05:57I can't. It's such a pressure cooker situation.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59I can.
0:05:59 > 0:06:00I can, I'm not being funny.
0:06:00 > 0:06:03It's a little bit embarrassing but I like my films!
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Billie's incredulous. "What?!"
0:06:06 > 0:06:08I like your films.
0:06:09 > 0:06:13But I have this funny thing that I completely forget that I make them.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15I have that memory like Dory.
0:06:17 > 0:06:21It starts and I think, "Oh, what happens next?! Oh, look behind you!"
0:06:21 > 0:06:25I'm that guy. I'm surprised about how many times I can see them.
0:06:25 > 0:06:26Do you annoy people at your own film?
0:06:26 > 0:06:28"Shut up, I'm trying to watch this!"
0:06:28 > 0:06:30Yeah!
0:06:30 > 0:06:35And, Guy Ritchie, you're not afraid of casting non-actors.
0:06:35 > 0:06:40This is the man who gave us Vinnie Jones, the actor.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43CLAPPING Yes. One lady there very happy with Vinnie Jones, the actor.
0:06:43 > 0:06:47He's in the pantheon of thespians.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50And you have another footballer in this one.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52Is it annoying that he's getting so much press for this film?
0:06:52 > 0:06:54It must be annoying YOU.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58"I'm King Arthur! David Beckham is in it for two seconds!"
0:06:58 > 0:07:01- Cos you guys are mates, right? - Yeah, sort of.
0:07:01 > 0:07:04CHUCKLING
0:07:04 > 0:07:06Don't back away now!
0:07:06 > 0:07:08Oh, he's in it.
0:07:08 > 0:07:10- He is in it.- I'm not making this up!
0:07:10 > 0:07:12Am I allowed to speak?
0:07:12 > 0:07:14That's great.
0:07:14 > 0:07:16Our kids go to the same school.
0:07:16 > 0:07:20And we go to the same pub and we go to the same sort of gay gym.
0:07:22 > 0:07:23Isn't that just "gym"?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28I think the "gay" is silent.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:07:36 > 0:07:39- I set you up nicely there, didn't I? - Thanks.
0:07:40 > 0:07:42Yeah, and one thing led to another.
0:07:42 > 0:07:44As they do...
0:07:44 > 0:07:47- LAUGHTER - As they do
0:07:47 > 0:07:49in...gyms.
0:07:49 > 0:07:51- Yeah.- Erm...
0:07:51 > 0:07:54And I've used him before in the previous film that I did,
0:07:54 > 0:07:55Man From UNCLE.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57- GIGGLING - And I've...
0:07:57 > 0:07:59What's going on?
0:07:59 > 0:08:00They're still in the gym.
0:08:02 > 0:08:04Um, yeah, I've done a couple of commercials with him.
0:08:04 > 0:08:07I love him. He is...
0:08:09 > 0:08:12He's not here. He is genuinely such a nice, nice man.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15A lovely chap. It made sense, one thing led to another.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18You did attempt to make him less beautiful in the film.
0:08:18 > 0:08:20We tried. Have you got...?
0:08:20 > 0:08:23This is the Instagram picture on the day he was shooting.
0:08:23 > 0:08:26That was down to me. I walked on set and said,
0:08:26 > 0:08:28"I think you should check the contracts - I have to be
0:08:28 > 0:08:30"the most handsome man on set at any given time.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32"Becksy is not going to work for me."
0:08:32 > 0:08:34So that's what we did to him.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36- But he still...- He looks fit.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38Yeah. He still looks fit.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You'd still give him one, right?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Oooh.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45- Yeah.- I tell you what -- I- would.
0:08:45 > 0:08:46I thought he was terrific.
0:08:46 > 0:08:50Not only just a lovely, kind, humble fella,
0:08:50 > 0:08:52but showed up so determined to do a good job.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56He's not an actor and I don't think has any real aspiration
0:08:56 > 0:08:59to be an actor. And yet he'd hired an acting coach.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01He's so prepared and sort of nervous and determined.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04I thought, "Wow, good for you, David Beckham."
0:09:04 > 0:09:07- No, he is.- Not that he needs MY praise, obviously.
0:09:07 > 0:09:09He's cracking on quite well.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11I think it's about time somebody gave him a leg-up.
0:09:14 > 0:09:16He's needed that.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19Finally, a break.
0:09:19 > 0:09:22God love him. He'll be in Corrie next.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27A lot of actors, when they get a big hero movie like this,
0:09:27 > 0:09:28they have to get into shape.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31But you were incredibly ripped before this, weren't you?
0:09:31 > 0:09:32I wasn't actually.
0:09:32 > 0:09:35I'd been doing the last season of a TV show I did in the States,
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Sons Of Anarchy. And I'd lost a lot of weight.
0:09:38 > 0:09:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The character that I played was going through a great trauma
0:09:43 > 0:09:46during that last season. So I had lost a lot of weight.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50That actually was a bit of stumbling thing for me getting the role.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Cos Guy had wanted a quite formidable Arthur.
0:09:54 > 0:09:59- And so he was very concerned. - I was after Seth Rogan.
0:09:59 > 0:10:00He was very concerned about this.
0:10:00 > 0:10:04He would bring it up a lot through the auditioning process.
0:10:04 > 0:10:07And I finally thought... I had a eureka moment.
0:10:07 > 0:10:09We've all heard about the casting couch,
0:10:09 > 0:10:11let's implement the casting cage.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14- Where are we going with this, Charlie?!- You know where we're going
0:10:14 > 0:10:16with this, boss, don't play coy!
0:10:16 > 0:10:18So I said, "Let's implement the casting cage."
0:10:18 > 0:10:22The last time that Guy said, "Are you sure you can be formidable?"
0:10:22 > 0:10:26I said, "You know what, pal, if you're so concerned about it..." Cos there was a big audition.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30Lots of other little movie stars milling about this hotel,
0:10:30 > 0:10:32going in and out auditioning for Guy.
0:10:32 > 0:10:33It's very awkward, these things.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36You walk past each other in the corridor saying,
0:10:36 > 0:10:37"All right? Good luck, mate."
0:10:39 > 0:10:40So I'd seen who the competition was.
0:10:40 > 0:10:43When Guy brought it up one more time, his concern
0:10:43 > 0:10:45about my physicality, I said,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48"Let's just forget this. Turn the camera off."
0:10:48 > 0:10:52Bring those chimpanzees in here who are auditioning against me
0:10:52 > 0:10:55and we'll have a little fight and whoever walks out
0:10:55 > 0:10:57the room gets the role.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59And I maintain, although Guy denies it,
0:10:59 > 0:11:02that was the moment that I got the part. Cos I saw a little glint
0:11:02 > 0:11:05in his eye and he thought, "That's the cocky..."
0:11:05 > 0:11:07APPLAUSE
0:11:10 > 0:11:11Hold on. Before you go any further.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15He lost. They were much bigger, and I gave him the role out of charity.
0:11:17 > 0:11:21King Arthur: Legend Of The Sword, it opens next Friday, 19th of May.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24We have a clip. Here's one of the big fights.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25On my command!
0:11:35 > 0:11:38SHOUTING AND YELLING
0:12:21 > 0:12:23Whoa!
0:12:25 > 0:12:26Yeah.
0:12:28 > 0:12:29Yeah!
0:12:31 > 0:12:33It's nothing like the cartoon, is it?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36I thought it was like Beauty And The Beast, like a remake.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38It's actually totally different,
0:12:38 > 0:12:40there's no dragon turning into a cat or anything.
0:12:42 > 0:12:44- Oh, there...- Oh, really?
0:12:44 > 0:12:45No.
0:12:45 > 0:12:47Moving into movies like this,
0:12:47 > 0:12:51Sherlock Holmes or the King Arthur legend and away from the gangster
0:12:51 > 0:12:53movies, do you get fewer visits?
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Cos you used to get visits from real-life gangsters.
0:12:56 > 0:12:57- I still get visits.- Oh, do you?
0:12:57 > 0:13:00Like knock-on-the-door visits?
0:13:00 > 0:13:02Sort of, you know, those sort of things.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04They see you in the pub or they...
0:13:04 > 0:13:06Already-in-your-house visits?
0:13:08 > 0:13:11"What time do you call this, Guy?!"
0:13:12 > 0:13:14Yeah, there's quite a lot that goes on.
0:13:16 > 0:13:20There's a lot of old gangsters that want to share their stories with
0:13:20 > 0:13:24the world, and I am the default setting if anyone wants to share
0:13:24 > 0:13:27their story with the world, that has done really nefarious
0:13:27 > 0:13:31and nasty things to people - they come straight to me first.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34You've put some of the stories in the movies, haven't you?
0:13:34 > 0:13:36Yeah, I mean, just about all the stories,
0:13:36 > 0:13:40like the fact that Charlie was born in a brothel
0:13:40 > 0:13:44in Arthur, that came from a chap that I knew.
0:13:44 > 0:13:49He was born and raised under the bed in a brothel until he was 15.
0:13:49 > 0:13:54And he had a wonderful way about him that he was tremendously protective
0:13:54 > 0:13:56of all the ladies. And he was quite camp.
0:13:58 > 0:14:05But when it came to being a bit of a chap, he was like an uber-geezer.
0:14:05 > 0:14:10- Yeah.- So he had this wonderful cashmere-caveman quality about him.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12And I'd imagine, very pale.
0:14:12 > 0:14:13LAUGHTER
0:14:16 > 0:14:17Yeah.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23Because, Charlie Hunnam, you are a little bit of a crim yourself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26- A crim?- You've done nicking, haven't you?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29- Um...- Sons Of Anarchy, you did serious nicking on that.
0:14:29 > 0:14:30The occasional prop.
0:14:30 > 0:14:33No, Sons Of Anarchy, you did SERIOUS nicking on that.
0:14:33 > 0:14:34I stole the motorbike.
0:14:34 > 0:14:36You stole a motorbike!
0:14:36 > 0:14:40- Is that the one you stole? - Yes. The cat's out of the bag now.
0:14:40 > 0:14:42- But they must have given you that. - Well,
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I just drove it off and took it home and then said,
0:14:45 > 0:14:48"Is there any way you could send me the pink slip,
0:14:48 > 0:14:52"cos it's not coming back, so we may as well just make it official now."
0:14:52 > 0:14:54I was on that show for eight years.
0:14:54 > 0:14:57I made them a fortune! Come on, the bike's the least I could take.
0:14:57 > 0:15:00I tried to nick a sword on King Arthur,
0:15:00 > 0:15:02and there was a lovely old chap
0:15:02 > 0:15:05whose job it was to look after the swords.
0:15:05 > 0:15:08And he rumbled me mid-theft,
0:15:08 > 0:15:11which is where I realised I'm much better off being an actor
0:15:11 > 0:15:13than trying to be a thief. He rumbled me.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16He said, "Charlie, I think you're a lovely fella and you've been so
0:15:16 > 0:15:20"nice to everyone, I would actually happily let you take this sword,
0:15:20 > 0:15:24"but Guy has requested a brand-new beautiful sword that he's going
0:15:24 > 0:15:26"to present you upon wrap."
0:15:27 > 0:15:29And then wrap came and passed,
0:15:29 > 0:15:31and no sword arrived.
0:15:31 > 0:15:32- LAUGHTER - So...
0:15:32 > 0:15:34Two things happened.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Either the old sword wrangler bamboozled me
0:15:38 > 0:15:40or Guy still has my sword.
0:15:40 > 0:15:42Sorry, mate.
0:15:42 > 0:15:46DO you have a sword for him?
0:15:46 > 0:15:50That was, like, the least heartfelt apology!
0:15:50 > 0:15:53I don't even know if that constituted an apology.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58Nah. By the way, this has been going on for...about a year.
0:15:58 > 0:16:01He won't let go of it.
0:16:01 > 0:16:05And I don't intend to, until I get my sword.
0:16:05 > 0:16:07Do you have an apology for Charlie - I think you do.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09Or sword. One or the other.
0:16:09 > 0:16:12I can do better than that. Well, sort of better than that.
0:16:12 > 0:16:14Yeah, you know what's coming, you naughty girl!
0:16:16 > 0:16:18- Is it coming?- It's coming, son.
0:16:18 > 0:16:22Where is it? Who's got it? Here it is!
0:16:22 > 0:16:24APPLAUSE
0:16:28 > 0:16:30Nice.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Wow! Oh, wow!
0:16:32 > 0:16:34I really did not expect that.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- That's proper.- Oh, it's proper!
0:16:36 > 0:16:39- Yeah.- Charlie Hunnam, old boy.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Ah, thank you, old girl.
0:16:41 > 0:16:43APPLAUSE
0:16:47 > 0:16:51I'm not sure how this is going to work in Customs when I try to go
0:16:51 > 0:16:54- home tomorrow, but there you go.- You could always give it back to me!
0:16:54 > 0:16:56That's a proper bit of kit. Would you like to touch Excalibur?
0:16:56 > 0:16:58I'd LOVE to hold your sword.
0:16:58 > 0:17:00LAUGHTER
0:17:00 > 0:17:03That's good, yeah. I'll let you deal with it.
0:17:03 > 0:17:07- There you go.- Wow. I'm really glad I came tonight.
0:17:07 > 0:17:09I got a gin and tonic and a sword.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13- Lovely.- We'll put that there, in case anyone gets out of line.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Beautiful.
0:17:15 > 0:17:17What a beautiful moment.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21- That was wonderful.- Also, you didn't do it like a joke version of it.
0:17:21 > 0:17:23- That is the sword.- No, that is it.
0:17:23 > 0:17:26That took these little Japanese geezers
0:17:26 > 0:17:28six months to cobble that together,
0:17:28 > 0:17:31and they worked tirelessly day and night.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35It's a big deal. I'm telling you it cost the price of a small aeroplane.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37- Shall we have a little look. - Yes, get it out.
0:17:37 > 0:17:41It's proper. You could actually challenge someone to a duel
0:17:41 > 0:17:43- with this.- Can I touch it?
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Anyone else happen to have a sword on them?
0:17:47 > 0:17:49I'll just stroke the tip.
0:17:49 > 0:17:51LAUGHTER
0:17:51 > 0:17:55- What? Pack it in! Unbelievable. - You've corrupted it.
0:17:55 > 0:17:58- Have you played with it?- I have, I played with it previously.
0:18:00 > 0:18:03- He had a go first. - Graham and I go way back.
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Do you still have the lava lamp that you bought.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08You know, I'm afraid I don't.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10Oh.
0:18:10 > 0:18:13- These two have history. - That was anti-climactic.
0:18:13 > 0:18:15You know what - I might.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17That might be in the attic.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20- It might be in the attic. - That's only marginally better.
0:18:20 > 0:18:25- Do you want it back?- No, but I was so pleased at the time.
0:18:25 > 0:18:29You were the first really famous person I met. Right after we did
0:18:29 > 0:18:33Queer As Folk, there was a charity auction and you bid on
0:18:33 > 0:18:38the lava lamp from Nathan Maloney's bedroom, and paid £1,000 for it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:42- Did I pay that much?!- Yeah, you did, mate!- I blame wine.
0:18:44 > 0:18:46That's coming out of the attic tomorrow!
0:18:47 > 0:18:49It's going back on eBay.
0:18:50 > 0:18:52Keep talking about it, Charlie!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56A little YouTube clip,
0:18:56 > 0:18:58a picture of the lamp.
0:19:01 > 0:19:02No, I think I don't have it.
0:19:02 > 0:19:03LAUGHTER
0:19:05 > 0:19:10Billie Piper is back on stage with her Olivier Award-winning
0:19:10 > 0:19:13performance in Yerma at the Young Vic.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16It opens July 26th.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18So you should be really good by then.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20I mean, REALLY.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22I'll be good by then, I promise.
0:19:22 > 0:19:26Then till the end of August. And I do think this is a great thing that
0:19:26 > 0:19:29they're doing now. It's going to be one of those plays that's shown
0:19:29 > 0:19:33- in cinemas.- NT Live.- On August 31st.
0:19:33 > 0:19:37Yerma, I don't know this play - tell us about the play.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41Well, there's the original and then there's our adaptation.
0:19:41 > 0:19:48But it's about a woman who finds it incredibly hard to conceive a child.
0:19:48 > 0:19:51And in the end, finds it impossible,
0:19:51 > 0:19:56and it's about how it destroys her life, her marriage, her home,
0:19:56 > 0:19:58everything.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00So it's upbeat!
0:20:01 > 0:20:03The staging sounds extraordinary.
0:20:03 > 0:20:05You're all inside a glass box.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08We're all inside... yeah, this glass box.
0:20:08 > 0:20:11So you really have no sort of relationship with the audience.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14It's all contained. You're there with your actors.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16And it feels great, actually.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20What sounds exciting, hearing you talk about these blackouts.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24- They do these blackouts.- Yeah, there's like a tandem show going on.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27In the blackouts, they move the set.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29We undress and put something else on
0:20:29 > 0:20:31and then they give us our props and we go.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34And we're doing it in, like, 15 seconds.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39So there's loads of guys in those blackouts in night-vision goggles
0:20:39 > 0:20:41just leading us around the set.
0:20:41 > 0:20:45And your immediate reaction is to just punch them.
0:20:46 > 0:20:48It's really threatening.
0:20:48 > 0:20:50It feels very unnatural.
0:20:50 > 0:20:52But then you get used to it and it's a good laugh.
0:20:52 > 0:20:54For the audience it must be amazing.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57The lights come on and you're all in different places
0:20:57 > 0:21:00- and different clothes.- And you just hope you have the right prop.
0:21:02 > 0:21:05The baby comes on in darkness - a real baby.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07- There's a real baby in it? - A real baby, yeah.
0:21:07 > 0:21:09- That seems a mistake.- Yeah.
0:21:11 > 0:21:14The mother's in the wings, heart in her throat.
0:21:14 > 0:21:16It's fine, it goes well.
0:21:16 > 0:21:17How many babies are there?
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Actually, like three or four babies.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24Three or four, that's what you want to hear - "Ah, three or four."
0:21:24 > 0:21:27- Who counted them in? - Who's counting?
0:21:27 > 0:21:31- Do you have a favourite?- Yeah.
0:21:32 > 0:21:35The one that cooperates the most.
0:21:35 > 0:21:40It's terrible to say, but this baby is something else.
0:21:40 > 0:21:43It's like he's been here five times before.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45And he really works the audience.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48He sort of gets - and I...
0:21:48 > 0:21:50- LAUGHTER - He really does. So he comes out...
0:21:50 > 0:21:51Is it a small man?
0:21:54 > 0:21:56He has the wisdom of a small man
0:21:56 > 0:21:59and he comes out and the lights go on and he coos
0:21:59 > 0:22:03and it's this sort of, without giving it away,
0:22:03 > 0:22:06sort of dream sequence or whatever you want it to be, I suppose,
0:22:06 > 0:22:10but it's supposed to look like a loving and fertile environment.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14And so it really helps when the baby's really digging me...
0:22:14 > 0:22:18And he goes with it, most of the nights.
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Then I take him to the glass and he knocks on the glass.
0:22:22 > 0:22:25Like a little knock, and the audience go...
0:22:25 > 0:22:28You have to move around with him. He's just a joy.
0:22:28 > 0:22:30And he was at the wrap party.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32LAUGHTER
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Some of us, we were offering to babysit.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Ally McBeal, that dancing baby!
0:22:39 > 0:22:46Yeah, Brendon, who plays my husband, has had play dates with him since.
0:22:48 > 0:22:50We were offering to babysit for this child.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55- He's just amazing.- And back in the Smash Hits days,
0:22:55 > 0:22:59did you and Charlie know each other, Billie?
0:22:59 > 0:23:04- No.- That was kind of Queer As Folk days and you were a big pop star.
0:23:04 > 0:23:08You'd have thought you would have been at the same showbiz bashes.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10I can't remember you.
0:23:10 > 0:23:14- The only famous person... - Wow, that's cold.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17No, I know who you are now, of course.
0:23:17 > 0:23:19And I used to watch you in Queer As Folk all the time,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22and Russell T Davies wrote it.
0:23:22 > 0:23:25But I can't remember anything from those early '90s.
0:23:25 > 0:23:26Great, wonderful, thanks for that.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Brilliant.- There's more.
0:23:28 > 0:23:30I'm sure.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33In my head, I thought Queer As Folk was your big break,
0:23:33 > 0:23:36but in fact it was before that, wasn't it?
0:23:36 > 0:23:38Oh, it was indeed.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40The old illustrious Byker Grove days.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43Byker Grove! Were you ever in Byker Grove?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45No, I wasn't. But I LOVED it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48- I was a huge Byker Grove fan. - Great show.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51You weren't an actor. You just showed up in Byker Grove?
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Yeah, pretty much.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55I had the aspiration to be an actor.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58I was at film school at that point.
0:23:58 > 0:24:02But I was discovered in a shoe shop on Northumbria Street,
0:24:02 > 0:24:04a JD Sports, on Christmas Eve.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07I had a foolproof strategy with Christmas shopping.
0:24:07 > 0:24:12I would go to the pub on Christmas Eve at 12, and at 4pm,
0:24:12 > 0:24:15one hour before the shops shut, I would start my Christmas shopping.
0:24:15 > 0:24:17And I had the 60-minute frenzied shop.
0:24:17 > 0:24:22- This is good.- I was in JD Sports trying on some trainers
0:24:22 > 0:24:25for my brother, having a bit a dance around -
0:24:25 > 0:24:27drunk, obviously - as you can see.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30And there was a lady staring at me.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32So I blew her a kiss and gave her a little wink.
0:24:32 > 0:24:35And it turned out she was production manager of Byker Grove.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37She said, "I think you're quite lovely."
0:24:37 > 0:24:38I said, "I do too."
0:24:40 > 0:24:44She invited me in. And I did an audition and they gave me a part,
0:24:44 > 0:24:46which I haven't seen since I did it, which is 20 years ago.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49Now I think you're probably going to humiliate me.
0:24:49 > 0:24:53I think you're right! You are excellent as King Arthur.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Probably not so great in Byker Grove!
0:24:56 > 0:25:00I think you'll agree that it was all here, it was all here,
0:25:00 > 0:25:01in slightly raw form.
0:25:01 > 0:25:04So, this is... It's a very traumatic scene.
0:25:04 > 0:25:07You didn't shoot Ant out of Ant and Dec with a paintball gun?
0:25:07 > 0:25:09- That's not you. - No, that wasn't me, no!
0:25:09 > 0:25:12- That was harrowing, that. - They were long gone, long gone!
0:25:12 > 0:25:14This is... You're doing...
0:25:14 > 0:25:19"I'm blind, Dec!" Horrible - ruined me childhood, that.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22"I can't see a bloody thing, man!"
0:25:22 > 0:25:23Awful! Awful!
0:25:23 > 0:25:25Children's telly, that was.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30When they rolled in stinging nettles to get out of school - I did that!
0:25:30 > 0:25:31I copied that!
0:25:31 > 0:25:34- That was awful, terrible outcome! - Well, this is a strange...
0:25:34 > 0:25:38I think it's a strangely adult storyline for Byker Grove.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40You play a model,
0:25:40 > 0:25:44and I think you're initiating a younger boy into the ways of
0:25:44 > 0:25:45- being a model.- Oh, my God.
0:25:47 > 0:25:49Look right now.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Fantastic. Right...
0:25:53 > 0:25:54Now, straight ahead.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56Smile!
0:25:56 > 0:25:58Well done, lads.
0:25:58 > 0:26:01- What's that?- Cheese and scallion.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04- Do you want one?- There's a finger buffet upstairs, man.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Oh, right. Well, it's just...
0:26:06 > 0:26:09You know, my girlfriend made them for us.
0:26:09 > 0:26:10It's all laid on in this game -
0:26:10 > 0:26:13all we have to do is look good and cash the cheques.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15Don't worry, mate, I'll soon sort you out!
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Oh, no! You sue the sandwich!
0:26:22 > 0:26:23Oh!
0:26:26 > 0:26:27- Wow!- Wow!
0:26:28 > 0:26:33Are you in awe? Don't be nervous now, I'm still the same old Charlie!
0:26:34 > 0:26:37I've never heard a finger buffet sound so rude!
0:26:37 > 0:26:40"There's a finger buffet upstairs!"
0:26:40 > 0:26:43- Oh, boy!- What the hell is going on upstairs?!
0:26:45 > 0:26:47Would you have cast him, off that?
0:26:47 > 0:26:48I have to tell you, I only wish
0:26:48 > 0:26:52I could have derived such a performance, Charlie.
0:26:52 > 0:26:54Had I known the talent was there!
0:26:56 > 0:26:58You were sexy when you were young, Charlie!
0:26:58 > 0:27:01You've got to have confidence to work a ponytail like that!
0:27:01 > 0:27:04Yeah, you do!
0:27:04 > 0:27:08Now, Jason Manford - Jason Manford is back on the road on tour.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10The new tour is called Muddle Class.
0:27:10 > 0:27:12- Yes.- And Muddle Class, it's a good...
0:27:12 > 0:27:16- Does it mean what I think it means? - Yeah, it's a phrase that I came up
0:27:16 > 0:27:17with to describe a lot of things,
0:27:17 > 0:27:20muddling along and getting through those things,
0:27:20 > 0:27:22but it sort of describes me,
0:27:22 > 0:27:25I'm from a working-class background, you know...
0:27:25 > 0:27:28But then, my kids are sort of a bit middle-class.
0:27:28 > 0:27:31So, we're in this muddle space, where I don't know where I am,
0:27:31 > 0:27:34trying to keep your roots but at the same time aspire for something else
0:27:34 > 0:27:37for them. And they're always correcting me.
0:27:37 > 0:27:39It's "ga-rahge", Daddy.
0:27:39 > 0:27:42It's "ga-ridge" - get to bed!
0:27:44 > 0:27:45And so, yeah, came up with that.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47And I discussed it with my brother,
0:27:47 > 0:27:50who was a plumber at the time and a friend of mine, who is a teacher.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54And there's quite a lot of people seem to be in this middle place,
0:27:54 > 0:27:56that didn't really have a name.
0:27:56 > 0:27:59You couldn't say, "I'm middle class," because I'm definitely not.
0:27:59 > 0:28:03But it's been fun, because you find yourself doing muddle-class things,
0:28:03 > 0:28:05and you'll all do it at some point.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Often it comes with food, like,
0:28:07 > 0:28:10I'll have a pork pie and a bit of quinoa on the side.
0:28:12 > 0:28:15You know. You'll drink champagne, you know,
0:28:15 > 0:28:18- but it's in a mug that you won at the bingo.- Yeah!
0:28:19 > 0:28:23My favourite was actually my brother, when I mentioned it to him,
0:28:23 > 0:28:26he said, "Oh, I've done that!" When he signed on last,
0:28:26 > 0:28:28all he had was a fountain pen.
0:28:31 > 0:28:35So, you know, there's a lot of fun to be had with it.
0:28:35 > 0:28:39But also, I suppose, with your kids, you could spoil them,
0:28:39 > 0:28:42but you have to try and be strict with them?
0:28:42 > 0:28:46Yeah, it's tough, like, because, you know, as you're doing all right,
0:28:46 > 0:28:49you want to give them the life that you didn't have.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52But you have to be strict, because you don't want to turn them into
0:28:52 > 0:28:54children that you hated when you were a child.
0:28:54 > 0:28:57- Mmm.- Yeah.- You know what I mean? You don't want them to be those kids.
0:28:57 > 0:29:01So, it's tough. I remember taking my daughter to get new school shoes.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I took all five... I don't know if you've done this, Guy,
0:29:03 > 0:29:06when you have taken all of them out just by yourself, like an idiot.
0:29:07 > 0:29:09We've gone to buy new school shoes,
0:29:09 > 0:29:12and it's a dead busy day in the department store,
0:29:12 > 0:29:14and most of them have been fine,
0:29:14 > 0:29:17and then just one daughter is just kicking off, going for it.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20You've not got the skills that your parents had, because, you know,
0:29:20 > 0:29:22laws have changed...
0:29:23 > 0:29:26LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
0:29:28 > 0:29:31And... So, you've got to like find other ways,
0:29:31 > 0:29:34you've got to talk to them like a children's TV presenter,
0:29:34 > 0:29:37haven't you? "What seems to be the problem?"
0:29:37 > 0:29:39You get a bit closer - "When you get home, you are dead!"
0:29:39 > 0:29:41Do it so nobody sees you!
0:29:41 > 0:29:45So, she was being a nightmare and I just couldn't wrangle her,
0:29:45 > 0:29:49I just couldn't work it out. And what happens is, the other thing,
0:29:49 > 0:29:50when you've got many children,
0:29:50 > 0:29:53is that your other children start being good, really good,
0:29:53 > 0:29:55but not good cos they want to be good -
0:29:55 > 0:29:58they want to be good to highlight how bad the bad one is being.
0:29:59 > 0:30:01"We're being good, aren't we, Daddy?"
0:30:01 > 0:30:03"Yeah, but it's not coming from a good place."
0:30:04 > 0:30:07And then in the end, I had to do that thing that parents do
0:30:07 > 0:30:09sometimes, where you go overboard with the punishment.
0:30:09 > 0:30:11So, when they're not eating their dinner.
0:30:11 > 0:30:13"Right, then, you'll never eat again!"
0:30:15 > 0:30:17"Aw! Can't back that up!"
0:30:17 > 0:30:19And I did it to my daughter, she was like, "I want these..."
0:30:19 > 0:30:22I said, "Right, then, you'll have NO shoes!"
0:30:26 > 0:30:28So, I got shoes for the other kids, and so,
0:30:28 > 0:30:31I've got these four pairs of shoes and none for her.
0:30:33 > 0:30:36Very rare that I stand by a punishment.
0:30:36 > 0:30:37Even when I send them upstairs,
0:30:37 > 0:30:39they're halfway down before they've got there.
0:30:39 > 0:30:44So, I'm in this queue and my daughter's gone from being naughty
0:30:44 > 0:30:46to turning the waterworks on.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49And of course, it's a new crowd around her.
0:30:49 > 0:30:52So these people just think she's like Cinderella,
0:30:52 > 0:30:55not getting any shoes. "No shoes for you!"
0:30:55 > 0:30:56And she goes...
0:30:56 > 0:31:00And then she said the worst thing, and, as parents, you'll feel this.
0:31:00 > 0:31:03It's the worst thing that anyone can say to you, your child.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05She said, "Daddy." And I went, "What?"
0:31:05 > 0:31:07She said...
0:31:07 > 0:31:11There's all these people looking. She just went, "Daddy...
0:31:11 > 0:31:15"Why do you make the rest of the world laugh, but you make me cry?"
0:31:20 > 0:31:23"Oh, you got me good!"
0:31:23 > 0:31:25She got three pairs of shoes that day!
0:31:29 > 0:31:32Jason Manford, you're also, you're on the telly.
0:31:32 > 0:31:36- Yes.- Bigheads on Sunday night, ITV.
0:31:36 > 0:31:40- That's me!- This show, honestly, this show is a funny show.
0:31:40 > 0:31:43Everyone enjoyed it, apart from Billie Piper.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45- Oh, no. Why?- Well, I thought
0:31:45 > 0:31:48you didn't like things like those things?
0:31:48 > 0:31:50Oh, the mascots, yeah.
0:31:50 > 0:31:52- Have you got a phobia?- Yeah.
0:31:52 > 0:31:55I inherited this fear of mascots.
0:31:55 > 0:31:58Well, our show will not help that.
0:31:58 > 0:31:59Absolutely terrifying!
0:31:59 > 0:32:02I mean, there's not a lot of explaining to do, but do explain.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04As I said, episode one, I said,
0:32:04 > 0:32:07this is the show where contestants run around for money,
0:32:07 > 0:32:10wearing massive celebrity heads.
0:32:10 > 0:32:12It can't all be Broadchurch!
0:32:12 > 0:32:14I mean, you've got to have light and shade, haven't you?
0:32:14 > 0:32:18It certainly doesn't work on more than one level.
0:32:18 > 0:32:19- But it's...- What are they doing?
0:32:19 > 0:32:22Well, it's... Have you seen, like, remember Gladiators,
0:32:22 > 0:32:24- Ninja Warrior, stuff like that? - Yeah.- So they're doing...
0:32:24 > 0:32:27- Assault courses.- Assault courses, yeah, but wearing these heads
0:32:27 > 0:32:29that they can only really see out of this bit.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32It's as funny as it's simple.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35Here's a clip of Bigheads.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Camilla has got...!
0:32:37 > 0:32:40- Oh!- Camilla, on your feet!
0:32:43 > 0:32:45There's just one more space left through those doors!
0:32:45 > 0:32:47- High-five!- Who will join Victoria and Russell?!
0:32:51 > 0:32:52Oh, no!
0:32:55 > 0:32:56He's catching his breath there.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59That's not even the slippy bit!
0:32:59 > 0:33:05- Come on!- You're from Stockport, come on! Get up there!
0:33:05 > 0:33:07Both trying to get their breath back.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Charles makes another dash...
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Oh!
0:33:18 > 0:33:20APPLAUSE
0:33:20 > 0:33:22- So funny.- That's so funny!
0:33:25 > 0:33:30- I'm sorry, television!- That is funny! Listen, it's time for music.
0:33:30 > 0:33:32This lady is one of Ireland's most-celebrated artists,
0:33:32 > 0:33:34and now she's back with a new groove,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38performing Should've Been You, it is Imelda May!
0:33:44 > 0:33:47# I could tell you all the things I do for you
0:33:47 > 0:33:51# But it's no surprise when you just roll your eyes
0:33:51 > 0:33:53# And say here we go again
0:33:55 > 0:33:58# She's going to moan again
0:33:58 > 0:34:02# I should spare you love just a thing or two
0:34:02 > 0:34:05# But you don't disguise it when I'm just white noise
0:34:05 > 0:34:09# And it's done before it begins
0:34:09 > 0:34:12# Cos your temper's getting thin
0:34:12 > 0:34:17# But there's just one thing I want to know
0:34:17 > 0:34:21# Just one little thing before I go
0:34:23 > 0:34:27# Before I go
0:34:27 > 0:34:32# It's who takes care of me?
0:34:34 > 0:34:40# Tell me, who takes care of me?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43# Should've been you
0:34:43 > 0:34:48# Oh-oh!
0:34:48 > 0:34:50# Should've been you
0:34:56 > 0:34:58# Do you realise?
0:34:58 > 0:35:00# No, you never will
0:35:00 > 0:35:02# Cos your head's held high
0:35:02 > 0:35:03# And you've got your pride
0:35:03 > 0:35:07# I got a little of mine still
0:35:07 > 0:35:09# Yeah, the bit you couldn't kill
0:35:11 > 0:35:14# I'll never blame you and I always will
0:35:14 > 0:35:18# I can't explain it but it hurts like hell
0:35:18 > 0:35:20# And I'm feeling so alone
0:35:20 > 0:35:24# Yeah, I'm lonely to the bone
0:35:25 > 0:35:29# But there's just one thing that I want to know
0:35:29 > 0:35:33# Just one little thing before I go
0:35:35 > 0:35:39# Before I go
0:35:39 > 0:35:44# It's who takes care of me?
0:35:46 > 0:35:52# Tell me, who takes care of me?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55# Should've been you
0:35:55 > 0:36:00# Oh-oh!
0:36:00 > 0:36:02# Should've been you
0:36:02 > 0:36:08# Oh-oh!
0:36:08 > 0:36:11# And I'm angry
0:36:11 > 0:36:15# And I'm sad
0:36:15 > 0:36:18# I'm the best thing
0:36:18 > 0:36:22# That you ever had
0:36:22 > 0:36:25# All I wanted
0:36:25 > 0:36:29# Was your touch
0:36:29 > 0:36:32# But you told me
0:36:32 > 0:36:37# What I wanted was just too much
0:36:37 > 0:36:42# Oh, who takes care of me?
0:36:44 > 0:36:50# Tell me, who takes care of me?
0:36:51 > 0:36:53# Should've been you
0:36:53 > 0:36:57# Oh-oh
0:36:57 > 0:37:00# Should've been you
0:37:02 > 0:37:04# Should've been you
0:37:06 > 0:37:08# Should've been you. #
0:37:12 > 0:37:14APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Imelda May, everybody!
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Beautiful job, come on over!
0:37:28 > 0:37:34Beautiful! Beautiful! Thank you so much! Imelda May!
0:37:34 > 0:37:35Come and join us, do!
0:37:35 > 0:37:39That's Jason, Billie, Guy, Charlie, marvellous!
0:37:44 > 0:37:46Thank you so much for that, that sounded great.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49And fabulous to have that big band and everything.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51Yes. Live band.
0:37:51 > 0:37:57Live. And that is off the new album, Life Love Flesh Blood.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00- Which is out now, isn't it? - It is, it's out now.
0:38:00 > 0:38:03- It's out a week or so now.- Yeah. It's in the actual shops!
0:38:03 > 0:38:06And I was listening to it on the radio, that sound,
0:38:06 > 0:38:09it's almost like a kind of Roy Orbison sound, that song.
0:38:09 > 0:38:10Well, T Bone Burnett produced it,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13and he produced a lot of Roy Orbison,
0:38:13 > 0:38:15- so maybe you're right!- Well, there you go! It's like I'm not stupid!
0:38:17 > 0:38:19It's almost as if...! And we should say
0:38:19 > 0:38:22that the reason you've got a big band is because
0:38:22 > 0:38:24you are on tour right now.
0:38:24 > 0:38:25Right in the middle of it, yeah.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27We cancelled a gig tonight to come to see you.
0:38:27 > 0:38:31- Oh, no, you didn't!- And lots of people are very cross with you.
0:38:33 > 0:38:36- Cos that's my fault! - No, they're cross with me.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38But I explained to them, and once I said your name,
0:38:38 > 0:38:41- they all were very happy. - Yeah, yeah, yeah!
0:38:41 > 0:38:45Because you probably saw it, the tour bus is parked outside.
0:38:45 > 0:38:46- Yeah.- The tour is around here,
0:38:46 > 0:38:48Ireland, then it's going to America,
0:38:48 > 0:38:51but will it be going to Paris at all?
0:38:51 > 0:38:53Yes, we will be going to Paris.
0:38:53 > 0:38:55Because the May family have been to Paris, haven't you?
0:38:55 > 0:38:59- I know where you're going with this. - I love this story, this is so Irish.
0:39:01 > 0:39:04Well, I think... I'm actually thinking,
0:39:04 > 0:39:06because I've so many crazy stories of my family,
0:39:06 > 0:39:09that I might write a book and possibly,
0:39:09 > 0:39:11if you ever want to turn it into a movie,
0:39:11 > 0:39:13I think this is a really good opening scene.
0:39:15 > 0:39:20So, yes, my dad, my parents used to bring us travelling when...
0:39:20 > 0:39:24Nobody went travelling that I knew, and they used to just pack...
0:39:24 > 0:39:26Should I sit back, sorry, am I blocking...?
0:39:26 > 0:39:29- No, I'm looking at YOU! - You're OK?
0:39:29 > 0:39:32And the big gang of us, anyway, we went,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34all seven of us in the little Rover...
0:39:34 > 0:39:36There's travelling and there's travelling.
0:39:36 > 0:39:38Yeah, we...
0:39:38 > 0:39:41Yeah, not like Snatch.
0:39:42 > 0:39:44I think you just mean actually travelling.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46We camped all over the world.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51My parents, we had this giant big orange tent that slept seven of us.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53My mam had a little stove,
0:39:53 > 0:39:56my dad never got the tent up the way it was shaped on the box.
0:39:56 > 0:40:01And I remember, we woke up to...
0:40:01 > 0:40:03massive, erm, just,
0:40:03 > 0:40:07it was crazy and noisy and my dad was getting dragged out by the
0:40:07 > 0:40:08gendarmes, by the police.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11And there was whistles going, and my mam was saying,
0:40:11 > 0:40:12"Get your hands off him!"
0:40:12 > 0:40:15And we were starting to cry, my mam had her little stove out,
0:40:15 > 0:40:18doing breakfast, and my dad was saying,
0:40:18 > 0:40:20"Yous are very uptight altogether!"
0:40:20 > 0:40:23And he was dragging them out.
0:40:23 > 0:40:25And apparently, you're not allowed to camp
0:40:25 > 0:40:27underneath the Eiffel Tower.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33APPLAUSE
0:40:36 > 0:40:41- Frying an egg!- Literally, yes, frying an egg, the kettle was on,
0:40:41 > 0:40:43we were all sitting...
0:40:43 > 0:40:45She brought dressing gowns and slippers,
0:40:45 > 0:40:48we were all sitting... "This is a great view!"
0:40:50 > 0:40:53And he was getting dragged off!
0:40:53 > 0:40:57- Thank you very much for that, Imelda May.- Thank you very much.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59Terrific! Imelda May, everybody.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05That's nearly it. But before we go, just time for
0:41:05 > 0:41:06a visit to the Big Red Chair.
0:41:06 > 0:41:09- Who's there?- Hiya. - Hi - what's your name?- Matt.
0:41:09 > 0:41:11- Matt. And where are you from? - I'm from Cambridgeshire.
0:41:11 > 0:41:14Cambridgeshire. OK. Do you live here or up in Cambridgeshire?
0:41:14 > 0:41:16No, just up for the day visiting. Well, for this, yeah.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18Up for the day! The excitement!
0:41:19 > 0:41:20- Off you go with your story.- Well,
0:41:20 > 0:41:23a few years ago we went on a holiday with a couple of friends to Crete.
0:41:23 > 0:41:25Extremely hot. On the first day,
0:41:25 > 0:41:27I forgot to take my sun cream to the beach.
0:41:27 > 0:41:31So my "mate" had this huge budget cheap family-sized packet
0:41:31 > 0:41:33of sun cream. So I asked him, could I borrow it?
0:41:33 > 0:41:36And he told me no, because he would require it for the rest
0:41:36 > 0:41:38of the holiday. So, I spent the whole day in the shade.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40So that evening in the apartment,
0:41:40 > 0:41:43his budget sun cream was on the bathroom cabinet,
0:41:43 > 0:41:45so I went to the kitchen,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48took a fork, took the little plastic bung out, and I peed in it.
0:41:50 > 0:41:52For revenge. So, I put the bung back in,
0:41:52 > 0:41:54put it back on the shelf and the rest of the holiday,
0:41:54 > 0:41:57there he was slathering his sun cream in,
0:41:57 > 0:41:58doing this all week long.
0:41:58 > 0:42:00And I told everyone at the pub when I got home,
0:42:00 > 0:42:03and everyone said what a lovely golden tan he'd got!
0:42:03 > 0:42:06That's a fun story!
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Yeah, you walk! Go on, go on, go on!
0:42:09 > 0:42:11He turned it round at the end there.
0:42:11 > 0:42:14Let's have one more. One more, here we go.
0:42:14 > 0:42:17- Hello.- Hiya.- Hi, what's your name? - My name's Sebastian.
0:42:17 > 0:42:19Sebastian. And where are you from?
0:42:19 > 0:42:21- I'm from Newcastle.- Newcastle, OK.
0:42:21 > 0:42:22Do you live there or here?
0:42:22 > 0:42:26- I live in Newcastle, yeah.- OK, off you go with the story, Sebastien.
0:42:26 > 0:42:31Well, many moons ago... I actually went to school in Newcastle,
0:42:31 > 0:42:33and there was a disco coming up.
0:42:34 > 0:42:37There was a really popular girl at school,
0:42:37 > 0:42:39usual type of scenario,
0:42:39 > 0:42:41all the guys after her.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45I sort of waited till the last moment, last couple of days,
0:42:45 > 0:42:48and asked a girl, this popular girl, a question,
0:42:48 > 0:42:51if she'd like to go with me. She said yes.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54This was literally I think the day before the disco.
0:42:54 > 0:42:57Lo and behold, it turns out she was actually going to go with somebody
0:42:57 > 0:42:59else. Erm...
0:42:59 > 0:43:02And that other person was actually Charlie.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04Sebastian Lippiatt!
0:43:04 > 0:43:05That's the one, man!
