:00:17. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to The National Lottery Live.
:00:19. > :00:21.Coming up, the two big-money draws, Thunderball and Lotto,
:00:22. > :00:27.which this weekend has a jackpot of ?5.6 million.
:00:28. > :00:30.And tonight's guest is not only a comedian and a host of the very
:00:31. > :00:33.popular Pointless quiz show but also is a fabulous singer.
:00:34. > :00:38.Alexander Armstrong will be here in just a couple of minutes.
:00:39. > :00:52.First, though, with a top prize of ?500,000, it's Thunderball.
:00:53. > :00:58.Our draw master tonight is Julie Hamilton and the draws
:00:59. > :01:07.are being overseen by an independent adjudicator.
:01:08. > :01:16.Excalibur and set of balls number two were selected at random. More
:01:17. > :01:17.than 408,000 winning tickets have been selected. Well done to you if
:01:18. > :01:30.you were a winner. So we are off and running, and the
:01:31. > :01:35.first to be drawn is 15. 39 balls to pick from in this machine. You just
:01:36. > :01:46.choose five of them. That's how it works. Three days to play this game,
:01:47. > :01:54.Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. Even a prize for matching with just the
:01:55. > :01:59.Thunderball itself. Finally from this, our first machine... How about
:02:00. > :02:10.number three? There are 14 of those
:02:11. > :02:13.inside our second machine and you have to choose just
:02:14. > :02:16.one of them. Now, tonight's guest has just
:02:17. > :02:35.released his second album, his first having already been
:02:36. > :03:03.a number one. # Are you going to Scarborough fair?
:03:04. > :03:10.As the sage, rosemary and thyme food # Remember me to one who lives there
:03:11. > :03:33.# She once was a true love of mine. Your voice is all gorgeous. Come on!
:03:34. > :03:38.You have to do these! It's a beautiful arrangement, that. I'm so
:03:39. > :03:44.pleased with that. And the actual album itself is a fantastic range of
:03:45. > :03:50.songs, isn't it? Is very eclectic. We felt we had to justify every song
:03:51. > :04:01.choice by making it interesting and arresting. We've got some quite
:04:02. > :04:08.eccentric choices. Pink Floyd, MacArthur, a couple of oboe pieces.
:04:09. > :04:16.I'm playing the oboe. It's a lovely album. I'm so proud of it. When you
:04:17. > :04:20.brought the first album out a lot of people were surprised because we
:04:21. > :04:25.don't think of you as a singer but you've done that all your life,
:04:26. > :04:30.haven't you? Gas, and then you leave university and think, can I do that
:04:31. > :04:35.as a career? Anyway, I went for comedy. I thought it was easier to
:04:36. > :04:41.smuggle music into comedy rather than comedy into music, so I thought
:04:42. > :04:47.I could cover all bases! Yes! Bring it all in later on. Now, Pointless,
:04:48. > :04:53.everybody loves a quiz show, don't they? It is on every day. The BBC
:04:54. > :04:58.have been brilliant with it. They've let us build it into a show that
:04:59. > :05:01.fits around Richard and me. We've got a bit of a clip of the both of
:05:02. > :05:06.you, always being cheeky and undermining each other.
:05:07. > :05:09.Normally when you chop down trees you have to seize on them for quite
:05:10. > :05:15.a long time before you can burn them. You can't just chop down a
:05:16. > :05:23.tree and burn it? Then how do those forest fires happen? It's generally
:05:24. > :05:31.believes that burn. Of the trees going, a bit hot round here? You
:05:32. > :05:34.know a lot about trees! Turns out I do!
:05:35. > :05:42.You're quite the woodsman, aren't you? That's the point. We're not
:05:43. > :05:46.very slick. We are so rubbish! We've been allowed to make this show into
:05:47. > :05:50.something that works around how rubbish we are and that's why it's
:05:51. > :05:56.so enjoyable and it works. And it's great trying to get the answers.
:05:57. > :06:05.Which I never get! We did quite well when we were on. The final. I'm so
:06:06. > :06:12.sorry! You don't even remember! On that note, Alexander, it is time to
:06:13. > :06:22.push that bottom! This is very exciting indeed. White! Will do this
:06:23. > :06:28.but first! -- wait! We will do this bit first.
:06:29. > :06:32.Remember, there are even more chances to become a millionaire now.
:06:33. > :06:33.Tonight's Lotto rollover jackpot is...
:06:34. > :06:55.Thanks to Jordan we are using Merlin and set of balls number seven.
:06:56. > :07:12.Here goes. Best of luck to everyone. Those midweek draws are live online
:07:13. > :07:19.at 8:30pm. The third ball... The number of digits in each raffle
:07:20. > :07:25.number. The digits and the colour. Number 28, with us seven weekends
:07:26. > :07:32.back as well. Travis started that for us. The six number to be
:07:33. > :07:40.drawn... This for the jackpot. Number 16. If you need a bonus this
:07:41. > :07:56.Saturday, how about this? So it looks like this...
:07:57. > :08:03.Now, could you be a lucky winner in tonight's Millionaire Raffle?
:08:04. > :08:11.Yes, here's the result of tonight's Millionaire Raffle of ?1 million!
:08:12. > :08:25.Good luck with the album, and don't forget to check your ticket.
