0:00:19 > 0:00:21It's kick-off!

0:00:27 > 0:00:30- CHEERING - Hello!

0:00:31 > 0:00:35Good evening! Welcome, welcome, welcome. Hello!

0:00:35 > 0:00:38Welcome to the show. Good evening. Hello. Welcome.

0:00:38 > 0:00:42Now then, let's see... Over here we've got an Andrew Smith.

0:00:42 > 0:00:46Stick your hand up, Andrew. Hello, Andrew. What is it that you do?

0:00:46 > 0:00:49- I enjoy metal detecting.- Aww!

0:00:49 > 0:00:52- That most sociable of hobbies! - That's the one.

0:00:52 > 0:00:53So, you go out...

0:00:53 > 0:00:56Have you got a little thing that goes "beep"?

0:00:56 > 0:00:59- I've got a metal detector, as well! - Sorry.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01Let's... Let's...

0:01:01 > 0:01:05Let's stamp on this right away!

0:01:05 > 0:01:09Look at him, laughing his head off down the front.

0:01:09 > 0:01:13He looks like he's auditioning for a Beach Boys tribute act.

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Look at him! I simply asked

0:01:20 > 0:01:22if you had a little thing that went "beep"?

0:01:22 > 0:01:25I meant a detector.

0:01:25 > 0:01:28Is that... Are you one of those guys?

0:01:28 > 0:01:30No, I go forwards.

0:01:30 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER

0:01:33 > 0:01:35No, I was going forwards!

0:01:35 > 0:01:41- You were going backwards. - That is by nobody... Even by these idiots, that is forward!

0:01:41 > 0:01:44You're looking, aren't you? You're waiting for "Beep"!

0:01:44 > 0:01:47HE MIMICS DETECTOR That's the one.

0:01:47 > 0:01:50You'd have a hell of a lot of it down here!

0:01:50 > 0:01:54For that plate in the skull, it would be going off!

0:01:54 > 0:01:57I don't mean that. Come on.

0:02:00 > 0:02:06Let's go across now, over to here. Lovely lady there on the second row in the lovely flowery top.

0:02:06 > 0:02:10- What is your name?- Hi, Rob. I'm Roz. I'm a good Welsh girl.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13I didn't catch any of that.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- You're Rob?- No, you're Rob. I'm Roz.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18I know that, love!

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Please...

0:02:24 > 0:02:26I have, at no stage,

0:02:26 > 0:02:29been in any doubt of who I am.

0:02:29 > 0:02:34- What we want to establish, who are you?- I'm Roz.- Sorry. Roz.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36Sorry, I didn't catch it. Where are you from?

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Originally, I'm from Porthcawl.

0:02:39 > 0:02:43- I lived in Porthcawl myself! - And I went to school with you.

0:02:43 > 0:02:46LAUGHTER

0:02:46 > 0:02:47WHISTLING

0:02:47 > 0:02:51This is a little bit embarrassing.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54- Porthcawl Comp?- Yes. - Not at the same time.

0:02:54 > 0:02:58I mean, you must've been, er, after me.

0:02:58 > 0:03:02- When were you there? - At the same time as you, Rob.

0:03:02 > 0:03:04Oh, I'm so sorry. Did we know each other?

0:03:04 > 0:03:09Yes, my darling. You came to my 18th birthday party!

0:03:09 > 0:03:11- Seriously?- Yes!

0:03:11 > 0:03:14- What was your surname at school?- Williams.

0:03:14 > 0:03:16That narrows it down!

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Roz Williams.

0:03:19 > 0:03:22Well, it's great to see you again!

0:03:23 > 0:03:26- Where was the party then? - In Penymynydd.

0:03:26 > 0:03:31Yes! So I came to your party. Was it a good night?

0:03:31 > 0:03:35It was a good night. You were very sweet, you were the only boy who bought me a present.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38- It was a beautiful... - What did I get you?

0:03:38 > 0:03:42It was a beautiful box of really expensive, obviously,

0:03:42 > 0:03:44Charlie perfume!

0:03:44 > 0:03:47- ALL: Whoo!- Wow.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51- That was 30 years ago.- Yes.

0:03:51 > 0:03:53Bet you Charlie's gone off by now.

0:03:59 > 0:04:04Lovely to see you again. Roz, ladies and gentlemen.

0:04:05 > 0:04:11Well, later on, I will be meeting the fantastic Hurts.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14But first of all, please welcome a comedian

0:04:14 > 0:04:18who's won a clean sweep of Perrier Award, British Comedy Award

0:04:18 > 0:04:22and the big one, the 1998 Rear of the Year,

0:04:22 > 0:04:25Frank Skinner!

0:04:25 > 0:04:27INTRODUCTORY MUSIC

0:04:29 > 0:04:31CHEERING

0:04:39 > 0:04:42Frank Skinner, ladies and gentlemen...

0:04:45 > 0:04:48That's the big one, Rear of the Year.

0:04:48 > 0:04:50It doesn't get any better than that.

0:04:50 > 0:04:55And it's gone down the nick. This year it was Anton du Beke.

0:04:55 > 0:04:59Oh, no! What a strange-looking man he is!

0:04:59 > 0:05:02LAUGHTER

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- Don't!- Yes. And, er...

0:05:04 > 0:05:07Do you know Anton du Beke is really called Tony Beke?

0:05:07 > 0:05:11- Yes, I do.- I love that. - Your real name is not Frank Skinner.

0:05:11 > 0:05:14No, but I haven't changed my name to, er,

0:05:14 > 0:05:17Francois de Skin!

0:05:18 > 0:05:22- What were your thinking? Because Chris Collins was your birth name. - Yes.

0:05:22 > 0:05:26Why Frank Skinner? Is there a reason for that particular name?

0:05:26 > 0:05:31Frank Skinner was a member of my dad's dominoes team.

0:05:31 > 0:05:36- At the pub? - Yes. We're a very sporting family.

0:05:36 > 0:05:42I thought, "That's a great name." So when I needed to get a name for stage, I thought, "Hey."

0:05:42 > 0:05:48So, when you took Frank Skinner the domino man's name, was it an honour for him?

0:05:48 > 0:05:51He's no longer with us, I think. But a member of his family

0:05:51 > 0:05:56sent me a little framed photograph of his tombstone.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58- That's nice.- Mm.

0:05:59 > 0:06:06So I had "Here Lies Frank Skinner" on my corkboard for several years.

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Some days it was more relevant than others.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Depending how the gig had gone the night before!

0:06:12 > 0:06:15But I stared mortality in the face, I think it's fair to say.

0:06:15 > 0:06:18- You know what people say about you? - Go on.

0:06:18 > 0:06:20They say you've mellowed.

0:06:20 > 0:06:25- Mellowed?- That's what people say again and again. Is that fair?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28- What does that mean, though? - I think, when they talk about you,

0:06:28 > 0:06:34I think it means you've become a nicer person to be around, a bit warmer, a bit more affable.

0:06:34 > 0:06:38What, you think I used to be an unpleasant person?

0:06:38 > 0:06:40No, but I do think that, quite seriously,

0:06:40 > 0:06:43I think that you had more of a...

0:06:43 > 0:06:46You give off a far more friendly air now.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49- You must've heard that. - Did we meet years ago?

0:06:49 > 0:06:52- We did.- What happened? - You were unfriendly.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54LAUGHTER

0:06:54 > 0:06:58We met after one of your shows and I struck up conversation with you about Elvis,

0:06:58 > 0:07:01because I know you're a big fan, like me,

0:07:01 > 0:07:04- and you didn't, you know... You weren't unpleasant.- No.

0:07:04 > 0:07:08But you didn't embrace the conversation like I thought you would.

0:07:08 > 0:07:11But now when I try to talk about Elvis with you,

0:07:11 > 0:07:13I can't get rid of you.

0:07:14 > 0:07:18Well, I remember that night and I was put off by, erm,

0:07:18 > 0:07:21the bottle of Charlie you gave me.

0:07:26 > 0:07:30I'm sorry if I wasn't as friendly as I could've been.

0:07:30 > 0:07:35It's a positive, what I'm saying. You make out like I'm the only person who's said this.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Yes, I think I was seen as, erm,

0:07:37 > 0:07:40- a bit of a laddish comedian.- Yes.

0:07:40 > 0:07:47I talked about my sexual endeavours and stuff like that.

0:07:47 > 0:07:49- At length!- Mm.- But, erm...

0:07:49 > 0:07:55I put myself around quite a lot in those days.

0:07:55 > 0:07:59You know what it's like, you're not a very good-looking bloke, and then suddenly...

0:07:59 > 0:08:02LAUGHTER

0:08:05 > 0:08:09I don't want sympathy. I want disagreement.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14So suddenly, you get a bit of celebrity and you're a bit more popular,

0:08:14 > 0:08:18and I believe, erm, the phrase is

0:08:18 > 0:08:22"I filled my boots" somewhat. And I spoke about it.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25What made you stop that way of life?

0:08:25 > 0:08:28I think... I had, erm,

0:08:28 > 0:08:30what I believe they call

0:08:30 > 0:08:31a threesome.

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I only ever did that once. This is old hat now.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39People like Russell Brand, they were having multiples of...

0:08:39 > 0:08:43He operated on a kind of binary system.

0:08:43 > 0:08:45Was it a success?

0:08:45 > 0:08:48There was a lot of sniggering. LAUGHTER

0:08:48 > 0:08:51Oh! Unwelcome in the bedroom.

0:08:51 > 0:08:55And you know the elbow going into the side like that? And I started to feel very insecure.

0:08:55 > 0:08:58And then there was...

0:08:58 > 0:09:00They both went in and there was, erm,

0:09:00 > 0:09:02a clash of heads.

0:09:05 > 0:09:11Honestly, I heard "Da-dunk!" Ohh! I winced. You know?

0:09:11 > 0:09:15So I said, "Look, just sit down, have a breather..."

0:09:15 > 0:09:18LAUGHTER

0:09:18 > 0:09:23But they both went to the bathroom and there was a bit of a row ensued.

0:09:25 > 0:09:29Some sort of territorial, erm, argument.

0:09:29 > 0:09:33And so after they left,

0:09:33 > 0:09:36I thought, "That's it for me."

0:09:36 > 0:09:41- That was the turning point? - I want love. You know?

0:09:41 > 0:09:43- And you've found love now. - I have found love.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45Just one person.

0:09:46 > 0:09:48APPLAUSE

0:09:48 > 0:09:52Here's the thing... I know that you love your music

0:09:52 > 0:09:55and you've got one thing in common with me, you love Elvis.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59I grew up on those movies, those Elvis movies that everyone criticised.

0:09:59 > 0:10:02Even Elvis fans don't like those, and I...

0:10:02 > 0:10:06Elvis would be out and he'd see a guitar, pick it up,

0:10:06 > 0:10:10and not only was it in tune, but these other guys knew the song.

0:10:10 > 0:10:15People passing by knew the backing vocals!

0:10:15 > 0:10:17You like Elvis, I like Elvis.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22I have an in-house guitarist who I keep here, Frank, for just these occasions.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25We're going to go back to 1969.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27GUITARIST PLAYS SOFTLY

0:10:27 > 0:10:30# Today I stumbled from my bed

0:10:30 > 0:10:33# Thunder crashing in my head

0:10:33 > 0:10:37# Pillow still wet From last night's tears

0:10:39 > 0:10:42# As I think of giving up

0:10:42 > 0:10:44# A voice inside my coffee cup

0:10:44 > 0:10:46# Keeps calling out

0:10:46 > 0:10:50# Ringing in my ears

0:10:50 > 0:10:55BOTH: # Don't cry, Daddy

0:10:56 > 0:11:01# Daddy, please don't cry

0:11:02 > 0:11:05# Daddy, you still got me Little Tommy

0:11:05 > 0:11:08# Together we'll find A brand-new mommy

0:11:08 > 0:11:09# Daddy, Daddy, please laugh again

0:11:09 > 0:11:12# Daddy, ride us on your back again

0:11:12 > 0:11:17# Oh, Daddy, please don't cry

0:11:20 > 0:11:23# Why are children always first

0:11:23 > 0:11:25# To feel the pain And hurt the worst?

0:11:25 > 0:11:30# It's true But somehow it don't seem right

0:11:33 > 0:11:35# And every time I cry, I know

0:11:35 > 0:11:38# It hurts my little children so

0:11:38 > 0:11:44# I wonder Will it be the same to...night

0:11:44 > 0:11:48# Don't cry, Daddy

0:11:48 > 0:11:54- Abba! - # Daddy, please don't cry

0:11:55 > 0:11:58# Daddy, you still got me Little Tommy

0:12:06 > 0:12:08# Oh, Daddy

0:12:08 > 0:12:11# Please don't cry #

0:12:11 > 0:12:15- APPLAUSE - Frank Skinner!

0:12:16 > 0:12:19My dear fella!

0:12:19 > 0:12:21WHISTLING

0:12:25 > 0:12:29We'll talk more to Frank later on. He'll be answering your questions.

0:12:29 > 0:12:34Now, you've already shown you're a big music fan, Frank. You're going to enjoy this.

0:12:34 > 0:12:36It's one of the biggest bands of the moment,

0:12:36 > 0:12:40please give a huge welcome, Hurts!

0:12:40 > 0:12:43APPLAUSE

0:12:43 > 0:12:45- Hi, guys.- Hello.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- How you doing?- Fantastic.

0:12:50 > 0:12:56Welcome. First things first, why are you called Hurts? Because it's Hurts as in "Agh!"

0:12:56 > 0:12:58- Yes.- Where did it come from?

0:12:58 > 0:13:02Erm, it looked cool and sounded good!

0:13:02 > 0:13:05Yes, we were very miserable for a time. And now we're not.

0:13:05 > 0:13:10- You've gone through a period of unhappiness. - We were unemployed for a long time.

0:13:10 > 0:13:12It seemed to fit at the time.

0:13:12 > 0:13:16- Where did you meet? - Outside a nightclub in Manchester at about 4am.

0:13:16 > 0:13:21- Our friends were having a fight. - No!- I know. Pent-up male aggression.

0:13:21 > 0:13:26We were too drunk to fight, so we, er, sort of murmured to each other and went...

0:13:26 > 0:13:30And then the next day, nothing else to do, start a band.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32LAUGHTER

0:13:32 > 0:13:34It's gone very well, hasn't it?

0:13:34 > 0:13:40It was all worthwhile. In the last year and a half, it kind of rocketed.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43You collaborated with Kylie.

0:13:43 > 0:13:46You worked with her on your album Happiness.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48Big question for you. Taller or shorter than me?

0:13:48 > 0:13:52Er... With or without heels?

0:13:52 > 0:13:55I don't often wear heels.

0:13:56 > 0:14:00- Was she lovely? She comes across as being lovely.- She was great.

0:14:00 > 0:14:02It was amazing. It was the final thing we did.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05We had this song and we thought,

0:14:05 > 0:14:07"Wouldn't it be great if she sung on it?"

0:14:07 > 0:14:10And we got the balls together to write her an email,

0:14:10 > 0:14:13and we just wrote, "All right, Kylie?"

0:14:13 > 0:14:15LAUGHTER

0:14:15 > 0:14:19"We're Hurts. Are you up for it?"

0:14:19 > 0:14:22- I love your brevity!- And she got back. It was an amazing thing.

0:14:22 > 0:14:26Two weeks later, out the blue, she got back and said she'd do it

0:14:26 > 0:14:28and then we were in the studio in London.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33You know my next question. It's an obvious one. What's her email address?

0:14:34 > 0:14:39So she came into the studio. Sometimes when you meet these icons,

0:14:39 > 0:14:43- they can disappoint you. - LAUGHTER

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- How was it... - HE LAUGHS

0:14:46 > 0:14:49I don't mean it. How was it meeting Kylie?

0:14:49 > 0:14:52I do!

0:14:52 > 0:14:55It was brilliant. It was everything you imagine really.

0:14:55 > 0:15:00- It was the icing on the cake of a long old road. - She's a legend.- She's beautiful.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- You've covered one of her songs. - We have.

0:15:02 > 0:15:04The Locomotion.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07Which one did you do?

0:15:07 > 0:15:10- We play a song called Confide In Me. - I know that song.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13- Could I join you on that song? - You can.

0:15:13 > 0:15:16- Would you let me join you? - It would be our pleasure.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20I'm going to play a little something on a drum machine. If it's too fast,

0:15:20 > 0:15:24put your hand up and I'll slow things down. OK?

0:15:24 > 0:15:26BOTH: Here we go.

0:15:26 > 0:15:30# I stand at a distance

0:15:30 > 0:15:32# I watch

0:15:32 > 0:15:34# From afar

0:15:34 > 0:15:37# Should I offer my assistance?

0:15:37 > 0:15:40# Should it matter

0:15:40 > 0:15:44# Who you are?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47# We all get hurt by love

0:15:47 > 0:15:51# And we all have a cross to bear

0:15:51 > 0:15:54# But in the name of understanding

0:15:54 > 0:15:59- FAMILY FORTUNES-STYLE BUZZER - # A problem should be shared

0:15:59 > 0:16:03- # Confide - BUZZER RINGS

0:16:14 > 0:16:17FAST-PACED TECHNO MUSIC

0:16:24 > 0:16:26MUSIC STOPS

0:16:26 > 0:16:31- Ladies and gentlemen, Hurts! - Thank you very much.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Right, thanks very much, guys.

0:16:35 > 0:16:38Hurts are going to performing for us again later on.

0:16:38 > 0:16:42But now, he's the nosy neighbour on the BBC3 sitcom Him & Her,

0:16:42 > 0:16:46he's taken time from his splendid Edinburgh show to be with us,

0:16:46 > 0:16:48please welcome Joe Wilkinson!

0:16:48 > 0:16:50APPLAUSE

0:16:50 > 0:16:53CHEERING

0:17:00 > 0:17:02LOUD CHEERING

0:17:04 > 0:17:06CHEERING

0:17:06 > 0:17:09Come on, I haven't got long.

0:17:09 > 0:17:14I live in south London. I live near my mum and dad still.

0:17:14 > 0:17:17I go and see my mum and dad quite a lot, you know.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21Because I love them. But they've also got Sky.

0:17:21 > 0:17:23Which helps.

0:17:23 > 0:17:27And last time I went to see them, I came out of my mum and dad's train station,

0:17:27 > 0:17:31and outside the station there was three Community Support Officers.

0:17:31 > 0:17:33You know them fellas, right?

0:17:33 > 0:17:37"Hello. I like your hat."

0:17:37 > 0:17:42They were just standing there. They were stopping people parking in these spaces.

0:17:42 > 0:17:46I thought, "If that's your day, fair enough."

0:17:46 > 0:17:48But I went home, I came back

0:17:48 > 0:17:52and they were still doing it, just stopping people parking.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55And I thought, "That's a bit odd." I wondered what had happened.

0:17:55 > 0:18:02Do you reckon a real policeman had seen these spaces that they need to keep free and thought,

0:18:02 > 0:18:05"Well, we've run out of traffic cones..."

0:18:08 > 0:18:11"What else can we use?

0:18:11 > 0:18:13"Community Support Officers! Course we can!"

0:18:13 > 0:18:16They were using them as traffic cones.

0:18:16 > 0:18:20Do you reckon they use them in any other part of the country, like on a motorway?

0:18:20 > 0:18:23Just hundreds of them in a line, like that...

0:18:25 > 0:18:29The occasional one knocked over where someone's changed the radio. "What was that?

0:18:29 > 0:18:32"It's all right, it's just a Community Support Officer."

0:18:33 > 0:18:37Students coming home with one on their head...

0:18:39 > 0:18:41"Look what I nicked!"

0:18:41 > 0:18:43APPLAUSE

0:18:43 > 0:18:46I was in this jewellers recently.

0:18:46 > 0:18:49I was standing behind this bloke who was waiting to be served.

0:18:49 > 0:18:54There was a young girl serving. She was about 15, 16. She's standing there, chewing gum.

0:18:54 > 0:18:59She's obviously a Saturday girl because she didn't give a... It's like that...

0:18:59 > 0:19:03He went up to the counter and went, "Excuse me. I'm looking to buy a crucifix

0:19:03 > 0:19:05"for my niece's christening."

0:19:05 > 0:19:11And this girl went, "Oh, yeah, yeah, crucifix, yeah. Do you mean a cross?"

0:19:11 > 0:19:14"Yes, a cross." She went, "We've got two types of crosses.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18"We've got plain ones or ones with little men on them."

0:19:21 > 0:19:23Little men?

0:19:23 > 0:19:25Not Jesus.

0:19:25 > 0:19:29"I'll have a Ronnie Corbett!"

0:19:34 > 0:19:36I'll tell you one last thing.

0:19:36 > 0:19:39It's a bit weird, but I'll just tell you.

0:19:39 > 0:19:44Basically, my whole life, babies have stared at me.

0:19:44 > 0:19:49Even before I looked like this. They've always stared at me.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53I got the bus with my friend and there were about five babies on the bus,

0:19:53 > 0:19:56and like always, they were staring at me.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59My friend looked round the bus and she went, "Er...

0:19:59 > 0:20:04"Joe, all the babies on this bus are staring at you."

0:20:04 > 0:20:07I went, "I know. It happens." She went, "Really?"

0:20:07 > 0:20:11I went, "It's always happened." She went, "That's a bit weird." I went, "Meh."

0:20:11 > 0:20:15Anyway, got off the bus. About an hour later, I got on another bus on my own,

0:20:15 > 0:20:19and there was a baby on that bus and it wasn't staring at me,

0:20:19 > 0:20:22and I thought, "Ooh, that's weird."

0:20:22 > 0:20:25But then, I saw the baby do this, I saw the baby go...

0:20:26 > 0:20:28LAUGHTER

0:20:32 > 0:20:36And I swear to God, at that point, I thought, "Still got it."

0:20:38 > 0:20:41- I've got to go. - APPLAUSE

0:20:46 > 0:20:48CHEERING

0:20:50 > 0:20:52I've been Joe Wilkinson. Thank you.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55CHEERING

0:20:58 > 0:21:02Joe Wilkinson, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you, Joe.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04We're going to hand you over to the audience, Frank.

0:21:04 > 0:21:09Our first question comes from our audience at home on Twitter. It's Jill Simpson.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12It's a lie.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15She said her head has cleared up, but...

0:21:22 > 0:21:27She says, "Please could you ask Frank to do Strictly Come Dancing?

0:21:27 > 0:21:30"He's been my dream contestant since series one."

0:21:30 > 0:21:34- Do you fancy that?- I've been asked to do all those things.

0:21:34 > 0:21:37My favourite one, I was asked to do a thing called

0:21:37 > 0:21:41- Celebrity Shark Cage.- I saw that!

0:21:41 > 0:21:46I can't swim. I would've been the only person more frightened of the water than the sharks.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49What if I'd been so desperate to get on telly,

0:21:49 > 0:21:53and some people are, if I'd just done it and drowned in the cage?

0:21:53 > 0:21:58I think you had an aqua-lung on and underwater breathing things.

0:21:58 > 0:22:03- But I can't put my face under. - Can you not?- No.- Why?

0:22:03 > 0:22:06Well, I'm worried about a clash of heads.

0:22:08 > 0:22:11- I'm frightened of water, basically. - You should get over that -

0:22:11 > 0:22:14OK, I will! Thank you very much.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- No -- What's this, a phobia clinic?

0:22:17 > 0:22:21I know, and many of the audience will agree,

0:22:21 > 0:22:23that the water can be a whole world of fun

0:22:23 > 0:22:26- and you're missing out on it.- Yes.

0:22:26 > 0:22:28The sea, as well? You won't go in the sea?

0:22:28 > 0:22:31If it's water...

0:22:31 > 0:22:34No, there's a difference! There's a difference.

0:22:34 > 0:22:38With pools, you've got a deep end and a slightly shallow end.

0:22:38 > 0:22:43With the sea, depending on the beach, the gradation of the land, you can paddle and that can be nice.

0:22:43 > 0:22:48I think it could be said of the sea that there is a deep end and a shallow end.

0:22:48 > 0:22:50LAUGHTER

0:22:51 > 0:22:53And then some!

0:22:54 > 0:22:57A really deep end.

0:22:57 > 0:23:02Obviously, I'm more afraid of the sea because there's wildlife in it, as well as drowning.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05This is from Twitter. It's Steven Horner.

0:23:05 > 0:23:09He says, "Do you miss living with David Baddiel?"

0:23:09 > 0:23:14- You genuinely did live together. - Oh, we lived together for, erm...

0:23:14 > 0:23:19I got thrown out by my girlfriend of the time, and I said to Dave, "Could I stay at yours?"

0:23:19 > 0:23:22He said, "You can come and lie on the sofa for a couple of days."

0:23:22 > 0:23:27Well, not lie on the sofa. I would get up in the day and go back to it in the evening.

0:23:27 > 0:23:30And I stayed for seven years.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32Just the two of you?

0:23:32 > 0:23:36I think his girlfriend moved in towards the end, and that was awkward.

0:23:36 > 0:23:40- It was unfair of her really, wasn't it?- It was!

0:23:40 > 0:23:46He's very gullible, David Baddiel, so I used to play a series of practical jokes on him.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49- What sort of things?- His girlfriend went to a fancy-dress as Catwoman,

0:23:49 > 0:23:53and she had these two enormous ears on a hat band.

0:23:53 > 0:23:58I found this about six months later, and the ears were like this long.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01I wedged it, I got in about three o'clock in the morning,

0:24:01 > 0:24:05and wedged it in the cat flap... LAUGHTER

0:24:05 > 0:24:08..and then really rattled the door!

0:24:08 > 0:24:11Dave came out and went, "Agghh!"

0:24:13 > 0:24:17- One last question for you. Crystal Carr is here. Where's Crystal?- Just here!

0:24:17 > 0:24:20- Crystal Carr is a brilliant name! - Thank you.

0:24:20 > 0:24:26- What's your question? - Since your chat show with her, have you seen Tara Palmer-Tomkinson?

0:24:26 > 0:24:32- Oh, yes!- Er, I have. I have seen her a couple of times.

0:24:32 > 0:24:36And, er, she's actually a very lovely person.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Just tell us the back-story to this.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41Tara came on my show

0:24:41 > 0:24:44and, er, she was, er...

0:24:44 > 0:24:47I couldn't tell whether she was just very posh

0:24:47 > 0:24:51or stoned out of her head. It's a very fine line.

0:24:51 > 0:24:57She thought I was, er, this takes you back a bit, she thought I was Frank Butcher.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59Who is a fictional character.

0:24:59 > 0:25:03And, er, she was in... She was very slurry

0:25:03 > 0:25:06and, erm, out of it.

0:25:06 > 0:25:11And she said that she wasn't on cocaine, but that she had some in her dressing room,

0:25:11 > 0:25:15and in anticipation, she was...

0:25:15 > 0:25:18- What, like passive cocaine?- Yes.

0:25:18 > 0:25:22And I think she had a bottle of Charlie in her...

0:25:26 > 0:25:31Ladies and gentlemen, please show your appreciation for the excellent Frank Skinner!

0:25:31 > 0:25:34CHEERING

0:25:34 > 0:25:38- Cheers, mate. Thanks very much. That was all right, wasn't it?- Lovely!

0:25:38 > 0:25:42I also want to say a big thank you to Joe Wilkinson!

0:25:42 > 0:25:47And now, from their album Happiness, it's Hurts and "Wonderful Life"!
