0:01:02 > 0:01:03CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:06 > 0:01:09My first guest went from High Wycombe to Hollywood.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13He is a sitcom star, Broadway darling, Brit-hosting and Comic Relief legend.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15He's even had a number one hit single.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18He is one man, two BAFTAs, he is in a league of his own.

0:01:18 > 0:01:20It's James Corden!

0:01:20 > 0:01:23CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:01:41 > 0:01:45- How are you? You look really good all the time.- Oh, come on.

0:01:45 > 0:01:48- You do!- No, that's not true. - It is so nice to be sitting here in ties and suits.

0:01:48 > 0:01:52Any time I normally see you, we're in sweat pants.

0:01:52 > 0:01:57We need sweat pants in our life! Is that for comfort or for working out?

0:01:57 > 0:02:00Well, I have seen you working out.

0:02:00 > 0:02:04- Yeah. It's true. It's true.- I have.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09Michael and I share a personal trainer.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12- I mean, it's...- Don't you want to put that in the past tense?

0:02:12 > 0:02:13It is a bad advert for him!

0:02:13 > 0:02:14LAUGHTER

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Seriously!

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- Me and James went to Matt Roberts Gym.- Changed our lives.

0:02:32 > 0:02:33LAUGHTER

0:02:41 > 0:02:45If I ever go to the gym or anything, I feel when I have a day,

0:02:45 > 0:02:48I don't have enough hours in the day, they just fly by.

0:02:48 > 0:02:51Except for the hour I'm in the gym!

0:02:52 > 0:02:55Where it takes a lifetime.

0:02:55 > 0:02:58I will be in the mirror and I will think I'm nearly done,

0:02:58 > 0:03:00and I look and I've been there four minutes.

0:03:00 > 0:03:05I always, always go to the toilet when I'm at the gym

0:03:05 > 0:03:07even when I don't need to go to the toilet

0:03:07 > 0:03:10and sometimes I just sit in there.

0:03:10 > 0:03:16He'll go, "Right, let's get into some planking."

0:03:16 > 0:03:20You know what planking is? You have to like, you go like this. You go,

0:03:20 > 0:03:23you're on your arms and you have to go like this

0:03:23 > 0:03:25- and on your legs and that's it.- Ow!

0:03:25 > 0:03:29That's it. By the end your whole body is like that.

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- The burn.- You're quite good at this. When he says,

0:03:34 > 0:03:37"Let's do some planking," I say, "I've got to go to the toilet,"

0:03:37 > 0:03:40and I'm just sitting there like this.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48Go through your texts and stuff. I cheat on the runner,

0:03:48 > 0:03:50the treadmill.

0:03:50 > 0:03:53You go on the middle. If you distract him and say,

0:03:53 > 0:03:56"Oh, look, I think it is James Corden over there." You can go on the side.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58LAUGHTER

0:04:04 > 0:04:07- Have you done Send To All yet? - After this.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11- This is the prize.- That's the Send To All phone?

0:04:11 > 0:04:17- You haven't done it? No-one's given you their phone?- No.- I have an idea.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20I think we should play Send To All on YOUR phone.

0:04:20 > 0:04:23- No.- Yes.- No. No. No.

0:04:23 > 0:04:24CHEERING

0:04:26 > 0:04:29- Come on.- Not on MY phone!

0:04:29 > 0:04:32Every week you pick someone out of the audience

0:04:32 > 0:04:35and you embarrass them for an hour.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38- Now, I think we should do it on your phone.- No, I don't.- No, I don't.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41CHEERING

0:04:41 > 0:04:46- Have you got your phone on you? - This is my actual mobile.- Bullshit.

0:04:46 > 0:04:48This is my mobile.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51We should play Send To All on your phone. It will be amazing.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55- Do you really want me to do that? - Don't you think it'll be hilarious?

0:04:55 > 0:04:56ALL: Yes!

0:04:56 > 0:04:58Come on, it will be so funny.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01What about all the people I'm texting?

0:05:01 > 0:05:05You don't think about that when it is Tom from Slough

0:05:05 > 0:05:09who has to go back to his friends and say, "I didn't mean that."

0:05:09 > 0:05:12- Is your phone here? - I have my phone in my desk.

0:05:12 > 0:05:16- Not to everyone. - Give me your phone.

0:05:16 > 0:05:18OK.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Hang on. Right, so...

0:05:22 > 0:05:25You've already got some texts.

0:05:25 > 0:05:28You can't go through my texts on the TV. That's not the show.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32I've got questions about your career.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35I'm going through your... Look, you've got some...

0:05:35 > 0:05:37You have got "Ant not Dec."

0:05:37 > 0:05:38LAUGHTER

0:05:50 > 0:05:53I didn't want to just put Ant.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Anton Du Beke.

0:05:55 > 0:05:59How often are you speaking to Anton Du Beke?

0:06:01 > 0:06:02David Hasselhoff.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04APPLAUSE

0:06:06 > 0:06:10That's above David Haye. When does that ever happen?

0:06:10 > 0:06:13This is a show in itself!

0:06:13 > 0:06:14LAUGHTER

0:06:14 > 0:06:19- This is a show in itself. - I need to say that I don't know most of these people!

0:06:19 > 0:06:24I just put... It's quite fun to have famous people in your phone.

0:06:24 > 0:06:26I did have a mistake the other day.

0:06:26 > 0:06:28I met Matt Smith, Doctor Who.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31He gave me his number and I put it in the phone as Doctor Who

0:06:31 > 0:06:32LAUGHTER

0:06:32 > 0:06:36And my son had a bad reaction to his injections

0:06:36 > 0:06:38- and I... - LAUGHTER

0:06:39 > 0:06:42I was supposed to send it to Dr Dan who is my doctor,

0:06:42 > 0:06:45who is a doctor of medicine,

0:06:45 > 0:06:51and I sent a photo of my son's arm to Matt Smith, Doctor Who!

0:06:51 > 0:06:53I said, "What do you think is wrong with this?"

0:06:53 > 0:06:56He said, "I'm not an actual doctor."

0:06:56 > 0:06:57LAUGHTER

0:07:00 > 0:07:04All right, so let's do Send To All on your phone!

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- Are you all right about this?- No.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08LAUGHTER

0:07:08 > 0:07:10Will you do it if I do it?

0:07:10 > 0:07:13- APPLAUSE - Have you got a phone? Oh, yes!

0:07:22 > 0:07:24I think we should just call it a day!

0:07:30 > 0:07:34I don't know your code. It has come off. The code has come off.

0:07:34 > 0:07:35LAUGHTER

0:07:38 > 0:07:39Meryl Streep?

0:07:39 > 0:07:40LAUGHTER

0:07:43 > 0:07:46You have taken my Hasselhoff and you've raised it!

0:07:47 > 0:07:52I'm going to write, "I've just finished my chat show

0:07:52 > 0:07:55"and I need to cut loose."

0:07:55 > 0:07:57LAUGHTER

0:07:59 > 0:08:03"Me and you lap dancing..."

0:08:03 > 0:08:04No.

0:08:06 > 0:08:10- I would never cut loose and I would never lap dance. - "Are you in or out?

0:08:12 > 0:08:15"Come on! Let's do this."

0:08:18 > 0:08:19It's gone!

0:08:19 > 0:08:21LAUGHTER

0:08:25 > 0:08:29This isn't fair. Why did I ever do this to anybody else?

0:08:31 > 0:08:34I will send the same thing except I will have to change it.

0:08:34 > 0:08:38You haven't just finished your series. You have had a big week.

0:08:38 > 0:08:40- You have been nominated...- Yes.

0:08:40 > 0:08:42- ..for a BAFTA.- That's true. APPLAUSE

0:08:54 > 0:08:57- OK. I'm going to go a bit cocky on yours.- Fuck off!

0:08:57 > 0:09:00"Guess who has been nominated for a BAFTA?"

0:09:00 > 0:09:05- No, you can't do that. You can't do that.- I won't put that.

0:09:05 > 0:09:09I'm going to put "Guess who has been nominated for ANOTHER BAFTA."

0:09:09 > 0:09:10Oh, no!

0:09:10 > 0:09:16Come on, there are some people that won't even believe me if I write back.

0:09:16 > 0:09:20- "Guess who has been nominated for another BAFTA?"- Oh, God.

0:09:22 > 0:09:24"I know, it's me!"

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- I wish I hadn't pressed send on yours.- "The big dog."

0:09:31 > 0:09:33LAUGHTER

0:09:37 > 0:09:41I was behind that curtain thinking this is such a fun idea.

0:09:41 > 0:09:45"Let's just celebrate the win now."

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Because it will go to the person that I'm nominated with.

0:09:53 > 0:09:59You can't send that! You can't send that! You can't send that!

0:09:59 > 0:10:04You can't send that! You can't! It will go to Matt.

0:10:06 > 0:10:10Just to fill people in, James has been nominated in the same category

0:10:10 > 0:10:15- as his co-writer and co-star.- Me and Matt have been nominated for the

0:10:15 > 0:10:17same award and you can't put that

0:10:17 > 0:10:19because he might never talk to me again.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23I will put in brackets, "Don't bother with Matt's party."

0:10:23 > 0:10:25Fuck off!

0:10:25 > 0:10:26LAUGHTER

0:10:27 > 0:10:29Don't put that.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32- There's no way.- All right.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34"OK, let's celebrate the win lap dancing."

0:10:35 > 0:10:40I'm going to send that. Ladies and gentlemen, that message is sending.

0:10:44 > 0:10:47OK. So, many congratulations, James,

0:10:47 > 0:10:50on being nominated for this award with your friend.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53Is that a bit mean of them to pit you against each other?

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Better that than just pick neither of us or one of us.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00You are in movies now. You are a movie star. James is a movie star.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03APPLAUSE This isn't true.

0:11:03 > 0:11:07You have got a very big movie coming out with Meryl Streep,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09who I saw in your phone. You've befriended her.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13- And that's Into The Woods and that comes out...?- At Christmas.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15And we have another movie here called Begin Again.

0:11:15 > 0:11:19I didn't even know you did this... We've got a picture of Begin Again.

0:11:19 > 0:11:21- Yes... There.- Is this product placement?

0:11:21 > 0:11:25I have never seen so many Apple products and an actual apple?

0:11:25 > 0:11:26LAUGHTER

0:11:27 > 0:11:31I don't think it was product placement.

0:11:31 > 0:11:35- What's Begin Again about? - It is two stories that overlap

0:11:35 > 0:11:39and cross in the middle and Mark Ruffalo plays a sort of

0:11:39 > 0:11:42down on his luck, ex-record executive

0:11:42 > 0:11:46and Keira Knightley plays a girl dumped by her now rock star boyfriend

0:11:46 > 0:11:48and the stories meet in the middle

0:11:48 > 0:11:52when he hears a song that Keira's character has written

0:11:52 > 0:11:57and it is about music and love and loveliness in New York.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01- When is it out?- It is out in the summer. July.

0:12:01 > 0:12:04I'm excited about America. I want to know what it is like

0:12:04 > 0:12:06when you get involved in that Hollywood stuff.

0:12:06 > 0:12:11Do they treat you like a god? Like, "Hey, James, you are awesome."

0:12:11 > 0:12:14No, it's... Essentially, you just die of encouragement.

0:12:14 > 0:12:18It's lots and lots of people telling that you are amazing

0:12:18 > 0:12:21and you don't ever see them again.

0:12:21 > 0:12:23"We should work together, it'd be amazing."

0:12:23 > 0:12:26And then they just sort of...

0:12:26 > 0:12:28Although, I am in LA and my American agent said,

0:12:28 > 0:12:32"I want you to have a meeting with Spike Jonze."

0:12:32 > 0:12:36I'm like, wow. This is amazing. This is huge.

0:12:36 > 0:12:42I meet... I am in this office, a meeting room at CAA,

0:12:42 > 0:12:44which is a really corporate environment

0:12:44 > 0:12:47and I'm waiting to meet Spike Jonze who is a hero of mine

0:12:47 > 0:12:51and Spike Jonze comes in and we're chatting

0:12:51 > 0:12:54and it's clear that Spike Jonze doesn't know why he is meeting me.

0:12:54 > 0:12:57And I've no idea why I'm meeting Spike Jonze.

0:12:57 > 0:12:59We are just chatting

0:12:59 > 0:13:05and then from nowhere Spike Jonze goes, "Do you want to wrestle?"

0:13:05 > 0:13:09I went, "Sorry, what?"

0:13:09 > 0:13:11He went, "Do you like to wrestle?"

0:13:11 > 0:13:14I went, "What, like, arm...?"

0:13:14 > 0:13:18He went, "No, no. Do you want to wrestle right now?"

0:13:18 > 0:13:21I went, "I'll destroy you."

0:13:21 > 0:13:24And he went, "Well, let's find out."

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Stands up. Takes off his jacket and empties his pockets

0:13:27 > 0:13:31on to the desk and starts going like this around the table.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37I'm going, "Spike I don't know if this is just a thing you do.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40"This is really weird for me."

0:13:40 > 0:13:43And he is going, "Come on, what are you going to do?

0:13:43 > 0:13:44"What are you going to do?"

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I'm going, "I don't know what to do."

0:13:47 > 0:13:49I stand up and take off my coat

0:13:49 > 0:13:55and I'm laughing and I said, "You're going to have to make the first move here, Spike,

0:13:55 > 0:13:58"cos I don't know if I'm being punked or something."

0:14:00 > 0:14:06From nowhere he just jumped on me and slammed me into this wall and for the

0:14:06 > 0:14:10next ten minutes, we just wrestled around this room!

0:14:10 > 0:14:14He is grabbing my face and I had him in a headlock

0:14:14 > 0:14:18and at one point he had a finger in my eye

0:14:18 > 0:14:21and he just went, "What do you want to do next in your career?"

0:14:21 > 0:14:24He pinned me to the... He pinned me on the floor and he was going,

0:14:24 > 0:14:28"You are going to have to submit." I went, "I will never submit.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32I was trying to wriggle and every time I wriggled I got deeper into a hole.

0:14:32 > 0:14:37I went, "OK, I submit." And we both lay on the floor going... HE PANTS

0:14:39 > 0:14:42Poured a glass of water and we drank them really quickly...

0:14:44 > 0:14:47Put them down and we sat down and carried on talking and that was it.

0:14:47 > 0:14:51- Barking mad! - I have not heard from him since.

0:14:51 > 0:14:54I don't think I will ever see him again.

0:14:54 > 0:15:00- It was so weird.- Forget Hollywood.

0:15:00 > 0:15:03- It was so strange.- That does not happen in this country!

0:15:03 > 0:15:07Well, I know that obviously you've got big representation in LA

0:15:07 > 0:15:11and you're having amazing meetings/fighting.

0:15:11 > 0:15:13But what I'm very keen for everyone to know about...

0:15:13 > 0:15:17- First of all, I'm going to play this bit - there's a documentary coming out on the BBC...- Mm.

0:15:17 > 0:15:21- ..which is When Corden Met Barlow... - Yeah.- ..who is a hero of yours.

0:15:21 > 0:15:23- Absolute hero of mine. - An excellent clip.

0:15:23 > 0:15:26# We both know love was lost... #

0:15:26 > 0:15:32- Why this one?- It's a whole mix. It's a mix of the whole back catalogue.

0:15:33 > 0:15:37# Love ain't here any more... #

0:15:37 > 0:15:39- Do you like this one?- Yes!

0:15:39 > 0:15:45# No, no, love ain't here any more... #

0:15:45 > 0:15:48Take it big, Gary, go.

0:15:48 > 0:15:50- # It's one away - Ooh... #

0:15:50 > 0:15:53LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:15:54 > 0:15:57- # Love - Love

0:15:57 > 0:16:00# Ain't here any more. #

0:16:00 > 0:16:04- Let's see what else we've got.- Hang on. LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:16:04 > 0:16:08That is so fun. It is so much fun. It was so great.

0:16:08 > 0:16:11We just spent two days just travelling

0:16:11 > 0:16:13round like places of his past, talking to his mum

0:16:13 > 0:16:17and we went to the working men's club that he first ever performed in

0:16:17 > 0:16:21and Nigel Martin-Smith, who put Take That together, and... It was great.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25We got interviews with Robbie Williams and Elton John

0:16:25 > 0:16:27and it was, for me, a real dream come true.

0:16:27 > 0:16:30- And he's such a charming, lovely man.- It was great, yeah.

0:16:30 > 0:16:35I was a Take That fan when it wasn't cool to be a Take That fan when you were a boy.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38I went with like nine girls from my school...

0:16:38 > 0:16:41- LAUGHTER Just nine girls and me. - What was it about Take That?

0:16:41 > 0:16:47I just loved the routines and the songs and everything. I love it! I love the shows! Seriously!

0:16:47 > 0:16:53- How old were- you then? 12. 12 to 16. Right through school, I was fully...

0:16:53 > 0:16:57- Did you get picked on for this a little bit?- Um... I guess so, yeah.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01People used to go... Yeah, people used to say things all the time.

0:17:01 > 0:17:04They were into things like Nirvana and they're writing things...

0:17:04 > 0:17:07- Red Hot Chili Peppers... - Buy another trench coat.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10o, yeah, I was very much with the girls.

0:17:10 > 0:17:11BOTH: # Could it be magic, now! #

0:17:11 > 0:17:15Yeah! I knew all the routines. I knew everything. I loved it so much.

0:17:15 > 0:17:19I'm going to play one more clip. When I saw this... I just felt like more people need to see it.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23I don't know how many people saw it when you were singing together with Barlow, but it's brilliant!

0:17:23 > 0:17:28- Absolutely brilliant! This was what you did for ITV, I think. - Oh, his Christmas show.- Yeah.

0:17:28 > 0:17:31If I could have told my 12-year-old self that I would have got to

0:17:31 > 0:17:34do this, like, his head would have exploded, it was so much fun.

0:17:34 > 0:17:38I think watching this, you need to think of that 12-year-old boy,

0:17:38 > 0:17:42being slightly picked on by the Red Hot Chili Pepper, Nirvana-loving, crazy-haired kids,

0:17:42 > 0:17:48- and you're just with the routines, you're hanging round mainly with girls at this stage.- Yeah.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51And then all those years later, this.

0:17:51 > 0:17:54# Surely, we must be inside

0:17:57 > 0:18:01# Of the dream we love to live

0:18:03 > 0:18:08# If you stop and close your eyes

0:18:08 > 0:18:12# You'll picture me inside

0:18:12 > 0:18:20# I'm so cold and all alone. #

0:18:20 > 0:18:23CHEERING

0:18:26 > 0:18:31CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Sensational! - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:18:45 > 0:18:46Really brilliant!

0:18:46 > 0:18:49When we...

0:18:49 > 0:18:52When we...

0:18:52 > 0:18:55When Gary asked if I'd come and do that, he said, "Don't worry.

0:18:55 > 0:19:00"We'll get someone to teach you the routine." And I went, "No, Gary. It's cool."

0:19:00 > 0:19:04- LAUGHTER - I'm doing it right now! - I've got it down. Yeah!

0:19:04 > 0:19:09- No, it was great.- Ladies and gentlemen, if you've just tuned in,

0:19:09 > 0:19:14we've reluctantly swapped phones and we should see how that's getting on.

0:19:14 > 0:19:17I'm so nervous about this! Shall we do that?

0:19:17 > 0:19:20CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:19:25 > 0:19:27OK.

0:19:27 > 0:19:31- JAMES LAUGHS - Oh, shit!

0:19:31 > 0:19:35OK, I'm just going to remind everybody of the text, which was...

0:19:35 > 0:19:40It was... I sent, "I've just finished my chat show and I need to cut loose.

0:19:40 > 0:19:43"Me and you, lap dancing. Are you in or out?

0:19:43 > 0:19:47- "Come on, let's do this." Right?- Yeah.

0:19:47 > 0:19:51- And the first one that comes up is Judy Murray.- No way!

0:19:51 > 0:19:53Andy Murray's mum!

0:19:53 > 0:19:56- Judy Murray?! - And it says, "Who are you?"

0:19:56 > 0:19:59LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:03 > 0:20:05Judy Murray!

0:20:05 > 0:20:09- Judy Murray!- OK, hang on.

0:20:09 > 0:20:15- OK. Anton Du Beke.- No! - "At last, some real dancing. I'm in!"

0:20:15 > 0:20:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:20:20 > 0:20:21"I'm so ready!"

0:20:21 > 0:20:26- "I love the idea of you and Anton Du Beke...- I can't believe Du Beke's in!

0:20:26 > 0:20:28What have you got?

0:20:28 > 0:20:34OK. So the text I sent out on James's phone... I can't speak.

0:20:34 > 0:20:38- I'm so embarrassed about Judy Murray and Anton Du Beke.- Judy...

0:20:38 > 0:20:42What kind of a night out is that going to be?

0:20:42 > 0:20:45- SCOTTISH ACCENT:- Michael, do you want another lappy?

0:20:45 > 0:20:46LAUGHTER

0:20:46 > 0:20:49I'll lend you a 20! She's got a fine pair, that one!

0:20:49 > 0:20:51LAUGHTER

0:20:51 > 0:20:57- She's suddenly Taggart!- "Guess who's been nominated for another BAFTA.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01- "Yes, that's right. It's me, the big dog."- Oh, God!

0:21:01 > 0:21:07"Let's celebrate the win now. You and me going lap dancing. Let's do this."

0:21:07 > 0:21:11- OK, we've got an absolutely wonderful one from Jack Whitehall. - OK.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14"Have to be Spearmint Rhino. I'm banned from Stringfellows."

0:21:14 > 0:21:18LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:21:22 > 0:21:26I can't believe... You're going to have such a good night.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29I've just got a maybe from Judy Murray and Anton Du Beke,

0:21:29 > 0:21:34- who is already there with a bottle of Champagne.- Not true. You've got a great one just come in.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36From Clarkson. LAUGHTER

0:21:36 > 0:21:38"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

0:21:38 > 0:21:40LAUGHTER

0:21:40 > 0:21:43Luke Coxwald has said, "Mm, very kind, Michael,

0:21:43 > 0:21:46"but I'm not about this week. Tuesday I can do."

0:21:46 > 0:21:51LAUGHTER "Secrets, Hammersmith, super venue."

0:21:51 > 0:21:55LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:21:55 > 0:21:58- He's an estate agent. A country estate agent.- Sure.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02"Tuesday, I can do. Can you work around my schedule?

0:22:02 > 0:22:04"I'm showing a house on Monday."

0:22:04 > 0:22:07Alan Carr says, "Well, someone's full of beans!"

0:22:07 > 0:22:08LAUGHTER

0:22:08 > 0:22:10"You have a short memory.

0:22:10 > 0:22:13"Last time we went lap dancing, you pulled something."

0:22:13 > 0:22:15LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:22:18 > 0:22:20I...

0:22:20 > 0:22:24Is Alan Carr getting the biggest laugh on my chat show?

0:22:24 > 0:22:28LAUGHTER Hang on! Hold up! Hold up!

0:22:29 > 0:22:31Roy Hodgson...

0:22:31 > 0:22:33LAUGHTER

0:22:33 > 0:22:37- No way! - "I'm sure you don't mean ME, Michael.

0:22:37 > 0:22:42"My dancing days are long gone, but have a good night. Best, Roy."

0:22:42 > 0:22:46LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:22:48 > 0:22:52Oh, it's too much. OK. Shall we go with Harry Styles?

0:22:52 > 0:22:53OK.

0:22:55 > 0:22:59"Great! But what is it with you and lap dancing?"

0:22:59 > 0:23:01LAUGHTER

0:23:01 > 0:23:04"You know what happened last time we did that. Wasn't pretty.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08- "Maybe we shouldn't bring Max this time." That's your child.- My son.

0:23:08 > 0:23:11And then he's put in brackets, which I quite like,

0:23:11 > 0:23:14"Are you playing Send To All with Michael McIntyre?" Harry Styles!

0:23:14 > 0:23:18- CHEERS AND APPLAUSE - Harry Styles!

0:23:18 > 0:23:19APPLAUSE

0:23:19 > 0:23:23- Oh, dear!- Well, this, let's be honest, couldn't have gone better.

0:23:23 > 0:23:28- We're going to have to check in on this later on. Are you OK to do that?- Yeah, sure. Give me my phone.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30LAUGHTER

0:23:30 > 0:23:35All right. Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in thanking the absolutely wonderful James Corden.

0:23:35 > 0:23:37CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:23:37 > 0:23:40Fantastic!

0:23:40 > 0:23:43That was really bad! I'm going to keep this.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46James Corden, ladies and gentlemen.

0:23:46 > 0:23:51CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:23:51 > 0:23:54How amazing was James Corden, ladies and gentlemen?

0:23:54 > 0:23:57- CHEERS AND APPLAUSE - What a night we're having!

0:23:57 > 0:23:59OK.

0:23:59 > 0:24:02My next guest is a wondrous ray of Welsh sunshine.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06Five days a week at seven o'clock sharp, she steals our hearts.

0:24:06 > 0:24:10Please welcome the delightfully dishy TV queen of The One Show.

0:24:10 > 0:24:13She's the one, the only... Alex Jones is here!

0:24:13 > 0:24:16CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:24:22 > 0:24:25How are you?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27APPLAUSE DROWNS OUT SPEECH

0:24:27 > 0:24:31- Alex Jones, ladies and gentlemen. - CHEERS AND APPLAUSE

0:24:31 > 0:24:35- Alex Jones, you're looking very, very, very good.- Oh!

0:24:35 > 0:24:38Thank you very much, Michael McIntyre.

0:24:38 > 0:24:43- Can't beat a black dress, can you? - It's actually a really long T-shirt. - Even better!

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Do you have somebody advising you on...? Cos it's very difficult,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50you're on that show five days a week, to come up with a new outfit every day.

0:24:50 > 0:24:55It's very difficult and especially on a budget of (£18 a day).

0:24:55 > 0:25:01- £18 a day?!- I mean, that's really... That's quite hard, girls, right?

0:25:01 > 0:25:05- £18...- A day. So when people go, "It's lovely because you always wear

0:25:05 > 0:25:08"stuff from the high street," I don't have a choice!

0:25:08 > 0:25:12- LAUGHTER - Now, listen, I'm very proud of you, Alex Jones,

0:25:12 > 0:25:16- and what you did for Sport Relief. - Right.- Oh, my God!

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Will you inform us what you went through and how much you raised?

0:25:19 > 0:25:25So I climbed a 1,200 foot rock in Utah, in the National Park,

0:25:25 > 0:25:27in Zion National Park.

0:25:27 > 0:25:31And it was a rock called Moonlight Buttress

0:25:31 > 0:25:33and I crack-climbed Moonlight Buttress...

0:25:33 > 0:25:36- What does that mean? - LAUGHTER

0:25:36 > 0:25:39You crack-climbed? Is that something to do with the guy above you?

0:25:39 > 0:25:44LAUGHTER Well, we'll talk about that in a minute. But crack-climbing is

0:25:44 > 0:25:48when you have to wedge your hands into these tiny cracks,

0:25:48 > 0:25:49until your hand is stuck,

0:25:49 > 0:25:52and then you pull all your body weight onto your hand

0:25:52 > 0:25:55and then you wedge your feet in and your other hand and so on.

0:25:55 > 0:25:57It was unpleasant.

0:25:57 > 0:25:59When you're lifting your body up

0:25:59 > 0:26:02because your hand is wedged in a crack?

0:26:02 > 0:26:04- Yeah. - But how do you un-wedge your hand?

0:26:04 > 0:26:08Well, you pull yourself up, you make yourself safe with your other

0:26:08 > 0:26:12hand, and then you remove this hand and replace and repeat.

0:26:12 > 0:26:14I think we've got a picture of the rock.

0:26:14 > 0:26:18That is absolutely terrifying! That's you! It's you, isn't it?

0:26:18 > 0:26:21- It's me!- You've got your hand in a crack and you're going up there.

0:26:21 > 0:26:24- LAUGHTER - So what about when the cracks ran out?

0:26:24 > 0:26:27Well, there's cracks all the way up because it's made of sandstone.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30- Doesn't that worry you? - I was petrified, the entire time.

0:26:30 > 0:26:35It took two-and-a-half days to climb, which is physically really demanding.

0:26:35 > 0:26:39- You have to stay the night.- You have to stay the night.- On the rock!

0:26:39 > 0:26:44- And they haven't got a B&B. - So you had to make yourself a bed. I think we've got footage of that.

0:26:44 > 0:26:47This is truly remarkable.

0:26:47 > 0:26:51It's such a faff, isn't it? Argh!

0:26:51 > 0:26:54Just need to pull it, so it's...

0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Well, it's quite unstable, isn't it, really?- Yeah.

0:26:59 > 0:27:01OK.

0:27:13 > 0:27:15- OK?- I'm not sure about this!

0:27:15 > 0:27:19- LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE - That is truly remarkable.

0:27:21 > 0:27:23What's holding you up?

0:27:23 > 0:27:28- What would you call that? - Well, that is called a portaledge.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30OK.

0:27:30 > 0:27:34But basically, you're sharing a double bed with somebody

0:27:34 > 0:27:37- you've never met. Awkward. - Not for him!

0:27:37 > 0:27:39LAUGHTER Well...

0:27:39 > 0:27:43But it's not just the sleeping. The sleeping's the easy bit.

0:27:43 > 0:27:45Well, not that easy when you're at 1,000 feet.

0:27:45 > 0:27:48But it's just the whole thing of, you know, having your evening meal

0:27:48 > 0:27:52and having a chat with somebody you don't know, which is

0:27:52 > 0:27:56absolutely fine, but then obviously you have to have a little wee

0:27:56 > 0:27:58each before you start eating.

0:27:58 > 0:28:00- How do you do that? - Otherwise you can't relax.

0:28:00 > 0:28:03- How do you...? - LAUGHTER

0:28:03 > 0:28:06- How do you have a little wee each? - LAUGHTER

0:28:06 > 0:28:08Um... Well, it goes like this.

0:28:08 > 0:28:12He said, "This is what we're going to do.

0:28:12 > 0:28:13"I'm going to put my iPod on,"

0:28:13 > 0:28:17so he played a nice bit of Elbow and we took it in turns

0:28:17 > 0:28:23- to have the sleeping bag over our head while he went to the loo... - So you weren't looking.

0:28:23 > 0:28:25And then he had the sleeping bag over his head

0:28:25 > 0:28:29while I knelt and...tried to use a she-wee.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32LAUGHTER

0:28:32 > 0:28:36Whoa! Wait a minute! What's a she-wee?

0:28:36 > 0:28:39I've never heard of a she-wee. What's a she-wee?

0:28:39 > 0:28:42It's a contraption... Girls, you know what a she-wee is.

0:28:42 > 0:28:46- AUDIENCE: Yes! - What kind of an audience is this?

0:28:46 > 0:28:48I've got an audience full of she-wees!

0:28:48 > 0:28:51Is this how you get through the recording without going to the loo?

0:28:51 > 0:28:54LAUGHTER

0:28:54 > 0:28:59Well, a she-wee is a funnel device and it's made in such a way that it

0:28:59 > 0:29:03allows girls to pee without pulling down their trousers.

0:29:04 > 0:29:09LAUGHTER

0:29:09 > 0:29:13You're tethered to the rock, like a small dog. Or a big dog, even.

0:29:13 > 0:29:17He's got a sleeping bag over his head, listening to Elbow...

0:29:17 > 0:29:19# One day like this a year... #

0:29:19 > 0:29:23I don't think so! You've got Alex Jones outside, she-weeing!

0:29:23 > 0:29:25LAUGHTER

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- So I have my back to him...- Right, you've got your back to him, he's...

0:29:28 > 0:29:33On my knees. He's there, singing along to Elbow.

0:29:33 > 0:29:37And then you get your she-wee and then you unzip your trousers

0:29:37 > 0:29:41and then you pop the she-wee in the right position...

0:29:41 > 0:29:43Excellent.

0:29:43 > 0:29:49And then, you point the she-wee into a bag of sand.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53- Oh! It disperses into the sand.- No.

0:29:53 > 0:29:55LAUGHTER

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Into a bag of sand that then crystallises,

0:29:58 > 0:30:04so then you can carry your urine with you up the cliff.

0:30:04 > 0:30:06- Do you mind if I chip in?- Go on.

0:30:06 > 0:30:09Why don't you just piss off the mountain?

0:30:09 > 0:30:11LAUGHTER

0:30:11 > 0:30:15My only frame of reference is on the motorway.

0:30:15 > 0:30:20- Oh. Well, it's good for that.- Yeah. The children, when they need a pee and I can't stop,

0:30:20 > 0:30:22I'll throw an Evian bottle back there.

0:30:22 > 0:30:25And then it gets to the point where it's like, "Daddy, it's full!"

0:30:25 > 0:30:29And then it's just all over the leather.

0:30:29 > 0:30:31I've looked round. "Oh, for God's sake, darling!

0:30:31 > 0:30:33"Why are you peeing so much?"

0:30:33 > 0:30:37And then my wife's having to finish her Evian to throw back the Evian.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40And then we forget it's there and six weeks later, I'm thirsty...

0:30:40 > 0:30:45- "Put that down!" It's a nightmare. You don't have children yet.- No.

0:30:45 > 0:30:50- That's my life. Now, Alex, you're Welsh...- Right. - You speak Welsh, don't you?- Oh, yes.

0:30:50 > 0:30:54- Could you speak Welsh, just a little bit, cos it's the finest language? - Be' ti moyn gwbod, Michael?

0:30:54 > 0:30:56- What? - LAUGHTER

0:30:56 > 0:31:01Wel, alla i weud unrhywbeth wrthot ti yn Gymraeg. Ti moyn dysgu peth?

0:31:01 > 0:31:06- Is that what they speak in Pingu? - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:31:06 > 0:31:11Cos we could have a conversation. Let's have a conversation in Welsh.

0:31:11 > 0:31:12OK.

0:31:12 > 0:31:17PRETENDS TO SPEAK WELSH

0:31:17 > 0:31:21O, Michael! Ti'n siarad trwy dy het.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25PRETENDS TO SPEAK WELSH

0:31:27 > 0:31:30Dwyt ti ddim yn neud dim synnwyr cyffredin.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32PRETENDS TO SPEAK WELSH LOUDLY

0:31:32 > 0:31:36Ti'n deall? CONTINUES TO PRETEND

0:31:36 > 0:31:39O! Paid a bod yn gas!

0:31:39 > 0:31:41CONTINUES PRETENDING

0:31:41 > 0:31:43Na welliant. Da iawn, Michael.

0:31:43 > 0:31:46- APPLAUSE - How the hell do you...? Cos no-one else speaks it in Wales.

0:31:46 > 0:31:52- How did you learn that?- Course they do.- Not really.- 600,000, 700,000. - Speak Welsh?- Yeah.

0:31:52 > 0:31:54And how many people are in Wales?

0:31:54 > 0:31:58LAUGHTER About...three to four million.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Oh, so the others have just gone, "Oh, we'll go with

0:32:01 > 0:32:05"the English." Cos they write it up on every sign, don't they?

0:32:05 > 0:32:09- The thing is... It is quite trendy now. - There's not a lot of vowels in it.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12Cos you have consonants back-to-back.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16I see words, entire words, and it's just like... Ds and Gs and...

0:34:26 > 0:34:29"My only experience of receiving a lap dance was possibly

0:34:29 > 0:34:32"the most awkward and self-conscious moment of my life.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35"But I'll happily dance for you in celebration.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38"Can't come out to play tonight, but let's make a date.

0:35:44 > 0:35:47We just started calling each other Jabrone.

0:35:47 > 0:35:50"Although I think a brother-sister lapdance combo

0:35:50 > 0:35:52"would be hashtag 'awks'.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03He is ready to go immediately!

0:37:03 > 0:37:06I had no idea this would be so funny.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09He literally got the text and went, "Right, I am out!"

0:37:09 > 0:37:13- Who is Gino D? Is that Gino D'Acampo?- Yes.

0:37:14 > 0:37:18He's put, "WTF?!!" Double exclamation mark!

0:37:37 > 0:37:39"What am I going to say now?"

0:37:39 > 0:37:43Then he has put, "Anyway, tell me when and where and I will be there!"

0:37:43 > 0:37:45- I've got no idea! - And an emoticon wink. One of those.

0:37:45 > 0:37:47APPLAUSE

0:37:47 > 0:37:50- Right, are we swapping back? - Thank you so much.

0:37:50 > 0:37:53Ladies and gentlemen, what a laugh, James Corden.

0:37:53 > 0:37:56CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:37:56 > 0:37:58What a sport!

0:38:01 > 0:38:03My final guest is a true national treasure,

0:38:03 > 0:38:06a television titan, and entertainment legend.

0:38:06 > 0:38:09He has lit up our screens in a record-breaking broadcasting career

0:38:09 > 0:38:11lasting an incredible 74 years.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14He is the King of the Swingers, the Lord of the Dance,

0:38:14 > 0:38:17and a knight of the realm. Didn't he do well?

0:38:17 > 0:38:20Please, ladies and gentlemen, be upstanding,

0:38:20 > 0:38:21for Sir Bruce Forsyth.

0:38:21 > 0:38:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Wonderful.- Amazing.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50Don't stop. Stay like that.

0:38:52 > 0:38:55- Sir Bruce, I can't believe you're not doing Strictly any more.- No.

0:38:55 > 0:39:00This was big news. Did you expect it to be such big news?

0:39:00 > 0:39:03No. I didn't expect it to make all the fuss it did.

0:39:03 > 0:39:07Very flattered by all that, it has been marvellous,

0:39:07 > 0:39:10but I'm doing the Christmas show, and I'm doing Children In Need,

0:39:10 > 0:39:12because that's a charity show.

0:39:12 > 0:39:17And the BBC have got a couple of other little things for me to do,

0:39:17 > 0:39:20some specials, that I will love doing as well.

0:39:20 > 0:39:22So why are you stopping now?

0:39:22 > 0:39:25Well, you know, there comes a time when you say, this is...

0:39:25 > 0:39:29You know, you will feel the same in about two years' time.

0:39:31 > 0:39:34You do get to this stage where you think, this is enough.

0:39:34 > 0:39:36And I do get tired.

0:39:36 > 0:39:40Doing live television is very, very strenuous.

0:39:40 > 0:39:44Especially when some of the shows are an hour and 40 minutes long.

0:39:44 > 0:39:47Apart from the strenuous physical activity of hosting the show,

0:39:47 > 0:39:50- you have enjoyed it? - I loved it. It is beautiful...

0:39:50 > 0:39:52- Biggest show on television. - A lovely, lovely show.

0:39:52 > 0:39:54The biggest show on television, yes.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59And I had to think very seriously about giving it up.

0:39:59 > 0:40:03But I know it is better for me, physically,

0:40:03 > 0:40:06I will spend more time with my wife and my family,

0:40:06 > 0:40:10I will be able to have little breaks, which are good.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13And as I say, the live, live, every week, you see,

0:40:13 > 0:40:17and if I made a mistake with the autocue, it is big news.

0:40:17 > 0:40:22"Well, he is 86 years old, he is past it..." And I was getting all that.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26And you don't need that, you know? Who needs it?

0:40:26 > 0:40:28Well, Sir Bruce, I think I speak for everybody

0:40:28 > 0:40:31when I say you will be very badly missed.

0:40:31 > 0:40:34APPLAUSE

0:40:34 > 0:40:39- And I will.- It is a long time.- It is a long time, yes. And I will miss it.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42I will miss it like mad, I really will.

0:40:42 > 0:40:46It was a decision, I would rather do it this year

0:40:46 > 0:40:48rather than wait another year, because you never know.

0:40:48 > 0:40:52Then I was getting the flu. I always got the flu in studios,

0:40:52 > 0:40:54they are so full of germs.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Be careful!

0:40:56 > 0:40:58So many dancers, so many contestants.

0:40:58 > 0:41:00Did you always know who they were?

0:41:00 > 0:41:04No. Especially... I have got to admit this!

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Especially the soap stars.

0:41:08 > 0:41:11But they were, I think the celebrities we have had,

0:41:11 > 0:41:17I mean, it takes, it really does take a lot of guts, to go out there,

0:41:17 > 0:41:21onto a dance floor, and you have never done anything like that,

0:41:21 > 0:41:25and I am indebted to all the celebrities

0:41:25 > 0:41:27that have taken part in Strictly.

0:41:27 > 0:41:32Because it has taken such courage to do that.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35And they have all been wonderful. They really have.

0:41:35 > 0:41:38You will be watching Strictly, I suppose, in the autumn,

0:41:38 > 0:41:42- like the rest of us?- I certainly will. I won't miss one single show.

0:41:42 > 0:41:45We've got a little montage of you hosting Strictly.

0:41:45 > 0:41:47Oh, really? Have you really?

0:41:47 > 0:41:50It is nice to see you, to see you...

0:41:50 > 0:41:52ALL: Nice!

0:41:52 > 0:41:56MUSIC: "Let Me Entertain You" by Robbie Williams

0:41:57 > 0:42:01Michael Torbay took his wife to see the West Indies play once.

0:42:01 > 0:42:03I said, "Jamaica?" He said, "If..."

0:42:03 > 0:42:05AUDIENCE GROAN No, just a minute!

0:42:09 > 0:42:12Your thumb, darling. Get it down.

0:42:12 > 0:42:15He was looking at you, asking, "Is it all right?"

0:42:17 > 0:42:20Tell me, Tom, have I still got it?

0:42:20 > 0:42:23Well, yes, Bruce, but it looks a little worn out.

0:42:26 > 0:42:29You're working with a legend, don't you understand that, son?!

0:42:32 > 0:42:34Gangnam style.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39I do apologise. My behaviour was tote inapprops.

0:42:39 > 0:42:42Keep dancing!

0:42:44 > 0:42:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:46 > 0:42:48I will miss it. I will miss it.

0:42:50 > 0:42:53- Now, Bruce, do you know what is so exciting for me to see?- What?

0:42:53 > 0:42:55Just you with an audience.

0:42:55 > 0:42:58- You've spent so much of your life in front of an audience.- Yes, yes.

0:42:58 > 0:43:02And you have got a young crowd, which is wonderful. They really are.

0:43:02 > 0:43:05But you are really entertaining the young crowds now. Glastonbury.

0:43:05 > 0:43:09That's what amazed me about Glastonbury.

0:43:09 > 0:43:11You know, I thought, these young people,

0:43:11 > 0:43:14they will want one of these edgy comedians,

0:43:14 > 0:43:18that get those kind of laughs, maybe swear a bit, and all that.

0:43:18 > 0:43:20You know, I don't do that.

0:43:20 > 0:43:22How did it come about that you performed at Glastonbury?

0:43:22 > 0:43:25I don't know, I don't know how they let me in, but they did!

0:43:25 > 0:43:29- So did they ask you?- Of course they did. For goodness' sake!

0:43:29 > 0:43:32I know you couldn't just walk on!

0:43:34 > 0:43:40- If this is going to be the tone of the interview...- Sorry, Bruce...

0:43:40 > 0:43:43- So, watch it!- What I meant is... This is you in the tent at Glastonbury.

0:43:43 > 0:43:47Oh, yes, that's me. But it was marvellous.

0:43:47 > 0:43:49I was on the Avalon stage.

0:43:49 > 0:43:55It was going on BBC News, Sky News, they had to put the barriers up,

0:43:55 > 0:44:00because people couldn't get in. I was stunned.

0:44:00 > 0:44:05I think it is the most incredible reception, apart from tonight...

0:44:05 > 0:44:08CHEERING

0:44:08 > 0:44:12- ..that I have ever had.- Really? - It was quite amazing, quite amazing.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15- And what kind of stuff did you do? - What I always do.

0:44:15 > 0:44:21I sing, I dance, I get involved with the audience, I play the piano.

0:44:21 > 0:44:23Was it scripted?

0:44:23 > 0:44:28My one-man show I have been doing off and on for years and years.

0:44:28 > 0:44:33- I alter little bits of it now and again.- You are also going on tour.

0:44:33 > 0:44:36So, Bruce Forsyth Entertains.

0:44:36 > 0:44:40That's it. I'm doing three dates. Just to keep my hand in.

0:44:40 > 0:44:43Southampton, Bristol and Nottingham. You can see Sir Bruce Forsyth Entertains.

0:44:43 > 0:44:48- APPLAUSE - It will be wonderful.

0:44:49 > 0:44:52When you started on Sunday Night At The Palladium,

0:44:52 > 0:44:53that was the pinnacle.

0:44:53 > 0:44:55A wonderful atmosphere.

0:44:55 > 0:44:58And still probably the greatest theatre

0:44:58 > 0:44:59that we've got in England.

0:44:59 > 0:45:01It is a beautiful theatre.

0:45:01 > 0:45:06I went there the other day, doing this thing, life stories, Sammy Davis Jr.

0:45:06 > 0:45:09- Oh, yes.- And of course, we worked together.- Perspectives.

0:45:09 > 0:45:13- Perspectives, yes. 25th May. - 25th of May on ITV.

0:45:13 > 0:45:17You can always tell when a theatre is really special,

0:45:17 > 0:45:19when you go there when it is empty,

0:45:19 > 0:45:22because it still has an atmosphere.

0:45:22 > 0:45:25You can still feel. Like the Albert Hall.

0:45:25 > 0:45:28It comes right around. I thought, "That will be so difficult to work."

0:45:28 > 0:45:31It comes right around so you have got the audience very close.

0:45:31 > 0:45:34You think it is remote, but it isn't.

0:45:34 > 0:45:37Tell me about Sammy Davis Jr.

0:45:37 > 0:45:40Believe me, this man was incredible.

0:45:40 > 0:45:43He was the ultimate entertainer.

0:45:43 > 0:45:48I have just been watching some of his archive material and it is stunning.

0:45:48 > 0:45:54It is amazing how beautifully worked... He does a gun routine.

0:45:54 > 0:45:59- Have you ever seen...? - Yes.- Eh? You are lying!

0:46:01 > 0:46:04No, I haven't seen his gun routine. I'm familiar with his work.

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Sammy Davis Jr.

0:46:08 > 0:46:10He's Sammy Davis's son!

0:46:10 > 0:46:13Do you remember Sammy Davis Sr?

0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Of course I do, I know all the Sammy Davises!- Now you are lying!

0:46:16 > 0:46:21- I know all the Sammy Davises! - Because I've never seen him myself!

0:46:21 > 0:46:23Another of your heroes was Fred Astaire,

0:46:23 > 0:46:24who was also an incredible mover.

0:46:24 > 0:46:26He was incredible.

0:46:26 > 0:46:29I suppose, as a dancer, you're interested in how people move,

0:46:29 > 0:46:32- you spot that.- Spot it straightaway. And you can tell...

0:46:32 > 0:46:35How do you move then, Bruce? As a dancer.

0:46:35 > 0:46:38You want to see me walk? You can tell by the walk.

0:46:38 > 0:46:41How does a dancer walk, compared to a normal person?

0:46:41 > 0:46:44Well, a dancer, normally a dancer will walk, usually a bit more,

0:46:44 > 0:46:47- shall we say, turned out?- OK.

0:46:47 > 0:46:51If they are ballet dancers, they walk like this.

0:46:51 > 0:46:55Fred Astaire had a great walk. He sort of, really...

0:46:59 > 0:47:01- That's a great walk. - Was that like Fred?

0:47:01 > 0:47:04APPLAUSE

0:47:04 > 0:47:07So, tap dancing, Bruce. I was wondering if...

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Tap dancing, I'll teach you a little bit of tap dancing.

0:47:10 > 0:47:12Would you like a little bit of tap dancing?

0:47:12 > 0:47:14CHEERING

0:47:17 > 0:47:20Before we sit down, brief little start.

0:47:20 > 0:47:22Here we are.

0:47:22 > 0:47:26- Just do, toe, toe...- Yeah.- Toe, heel, and everything I do, you do. OK?

0:47:26 > 0:47:28- All right.- And then you'll do...

0:47:35 > 0:47:37OK?

0:47:37 > 0:47:40CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:42 > 0:47:47- So...- So we are sitting? Tap dance sitting?

0:47:47 > 0:47:49We hear a bit of music, then I do a little step,

0:47:49 > 0:47:52and then the next time you hear the music, you do the same step.

0:47:52 > 0:47:55- OK.- Follow me, and everything will be all right.- I will do that.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57Good. Cue music.

0:47:57 > 0:47:59PIANO PLAYS

0:48:03 > 0:48:05Go!

0:48:22 > 0:48:24No, not yet!

0:48:25 > 0:48:26Now you do it!
