26/11/2016 The National Lottery Live

Hello and welcome to The National Lottery Live. The two big-money

draws coming up, Thunderball and Lotto, which has a triple rollover

jackpot of ?10.4 million. Plus our guest tonight is well known as one

of TV's Birds Of A Feather. What we didn't know is that she can really

shake her tail feathers. Lesley Joseph will be pushing the button a

little later. First, Thunderball. Start up those machines, please. Our

draw master is Julie Hamilton and the draws are overseen by an

independent adjudicator. Excalibur -- Excalibur six and a all three

were selected by Andrew from Beaconsfield. 3.2 million has been

paid out in the last week in Thunderball prizes. Well done if you

were a winner. Let's start the brawl. Here we go. The first one to

be drawn this Saturday night is number 11. A total of 39 balls to

pick from in this first machine, and you just choose five. Next up is

that one, number eight. Three opportunities per week to play this

game, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. 33 is next. You get a

prize for matching just the Thunderball itself. Next, 14. And

finally, from our first machine, do you have on your ticket is number?

There it is, number five. Now to the Thunderballs themselves. There are

14 of those in the second machine for the top prize of ?500,000. Let's

draw just one, Julie. In we go. And there it is, number one. So here are

tonight's Thunderball numbers again, but this time in ascending order.

Kate. Tonight's guest certainly impressed us all on this year's is

with partner Anton du Beke. -- on this year's Strictly.

You are brilliant! Please welcome Lesley Joseph. I look like a little

green elf. I never watched myself dancing. That is the only dance I

actually watched it back. It was highest score. Villa it was. We got

better each week and then it went a bit downhill. Did you love it? I

loved it. I do a lot of musicals, so I think that people but I would be

the old lady being schlepped around the floor, but I loved it. We are

watching you doing the tango, be with you went out. You are, I dare

say, the oldest ever contestant. I think I was the only person who

never got an injury. I really didn't. I am fit safely because I do

yoga four times a week. So I am very flexible. I, on the other hand,

nearly half your age when I went in, was on crutches by the first week. I

rest my case. And you! -- thank you. You were brilliant. We loved

watching you. But we know you best for Birds Of A Feather. What an

amazing show that was. What has been wonderful since we brought it back

is that audiences are there again. We have a Christmas special this

year, in Malta. It's meant to be Morocco and it's a real romp. We've

got the wonderful Martin Kemp. Martin Kemp! Dorien loves him. He is

a real silver fox. When they said, who would you like back? All three

of us went, Martin Kemp, please! And you get this in Malta. And flew out

so I was training at 7am and 8pm and shooting Birds Of A Feather in

between, so I got very thin and fit. I had a great two weeks and now it

is ready to be shown over Christmas. Why do you think we loved that show

so much? You buy into the chemistry between Pauline, Linda and Lesley.

It's almost like a soap. You get to know the characters so well. You get

to know there, what's it called, their let downs, how they are as

people, and you feel for them. I have had so many letters saying, my

goodness, my husband thinks I am just like Dorien. Also, she is an

older woman and she is glamorous, and people love to see glamour will

stop this Christmas, as well as being on the telly, you are on the

stage. I am in panto. Witch you are the wicked witch in Snow White. Yes,

in Plymouth. I love panto, because it has all of the magic of Strictly,

with choreography, lights and music and costumes. And, you know, playing

the wicked witch is wonderful because I can pull all of the

strings and be really evil and let people laugh. That sounds great.

Can't wait to see Birds Of A Feather. Don't go anywhere, because

it's time to play Lotto. Let's release those triple rollover

balls and, remember, there are now even more chances to become a

millionaire. He is tonight's jackpot. It's an estimated ?10.4

million. We are using Merlin and set of balls five. More than ?16 million

has been won on this game and the Millionaire Raffle in the last week.

Congratulations if you one. A big moment, time to press that button.

Good luck, everybody. Superbly done. The first one tonight is number two,

also selected on Wednesday. It was the next one. That is number 49,

drawn three weekends ago. Third to be drawn this weekend is number 14

-- 40. In Wales alone, 40,000 projects have been awarded Lottery

grants. Next, 28, which came out last weekend when Alexander

Armstrong started the draw. Next, number one. He sticks number, for

the jackpot, it is number 48. Anyone for a bonus? Let me tell you that

looks like this, in ascending order. Could you be a lucky winner in
