25/03/2016 Too Much TV

It's Good Friday, which traditionally means it is all about

the choccy eggs and the little bunnies, but not in our studio. We

mean business as we talk intrigue in the Night Manager and Line of Duty.

Scrap the hot cross buns, step away from the chocolate, tonight it is

all about the drama. APPLAUSE

Very dramatic. Hello and welcome. It is not just Good Friday, it is great

Friday if you love drama. Certainly it. The start of Line of Duty, Will

Mellor bright in the studio. We will be talking monsters, skins and fake

chins with one of the world's best prosthetic experts. Neill Gorton is

today's Show Pro. Emma Bunton tells us which American sitcom she wants

to bring back. Here is a clue. We are used to tough guys on the show,

what with Jones here giving it the big one. Tonight, we are about to

get Frisky in the studio as we met Richard Roper -- meet Richard

Roper's bodyguard in the Night Manager. What's going on? We're

clearing out. What happened here? Some local issue had to be dealt

with. Doesn't like to leave traces. What do you mean, dealt with? A

souvenir for you? I think it is vintage. Tell you what, I am a bit

too scared for a handshake, so let's say hello to Michael Nardone. How

you? What a phenomenal show, you must be thrilled. Of course, I am

grateful to be involved. It is fantastical top understatement of

the year. We are completely addicted. It was a fantastic job to

work on. Because of who was appearing in the show, we thought it

would be successful, but actually, the story itself is enough. It has

really gripped the nation, I suppose. We are obsessed by it, but

for those who haven't seen it, where are we up to at the moment? Jonathan

Pine, also known as Tom Hiddleston, has infiltrated Richard Roper's

organisation, and he is beginning to bring it down from the inside. He

has already disposed of Corky, Tom Hollander, and he thought that he

was about to hit the jackpot... With the roadblock. Yes. We put one over

on him and it is all very embarrassing. So brilliant. Tell us

about Frisky. He is completely loyal to Roper, or a C? All could be

revealed. -- or is he? He is this sort of hard man. Can you teach us

how to stare like a henchman? He's doing it now. Oh, my God! Does it

work if you do it to your kids? No, they laugh at me. If my wife uses it

on the kids, a different story. And uses it on you. Frisky, the name, we

thought, what does it mean, where does it come from? In the book, in

the John le Carre book, it is there. It is, but his name is Frank or

Francis. There is a sort of seven dwarfs vie. Frisky, Corky, Sandy.

And don't forget Tabby. You are never out of work, Crimson Fields,

Line of Duty. But you are always playing the hard man. I don't know

what that's all about but I have spent my career murdering or being

modelled. I am really a big jelly baby. -- murdered. Do you think it

helps with being a tough guy? Probably. It is just the way things

have worked out. I was never a romantic hero, sadly. Don't say

never. We have a very exciting look at Sunday's final episode. Jonathan

Pine can't trust anyone. Look at you, quite the Roper acolyte.

Nothing's changed. -- how things change. They do, don't because mac I

am the wife brought to heel? Brought to you by what? Roper made me an

offer, let bygones be bygones. Or maybe he just wanted someone to spy

on his girlfriend. Oh! I can't work out if he likes -- if she likes

Roper, Sandy's white. It is such good acting. If you have seen one of

the earlier episodes, she wasn't all that pleased with him. There is a

bit of pressure there. The weapons display we saw was equally

terrifying, like bonfire night on steroids. How was it filming that?

We didn't see any explosions. We sat at the top of a hill in the desert

in the middle of the night. We had an assistant director barking

orders, there is a drone coming this way, the tank will explode down

there. Even the car that got bombed, all that CGI... Certainly, the night

we were there, nothing to see. I don't know how we will get on after

Sunday, we're devastated it is finished. Any chance of a second

series? Do you have the inside line? You probably know as much as me.

Apparently, the BBC has said they are in top with John le Carre's

people to see if they can carry on. I would love it. John le Carre, of

course, the king of the spy thriller. We saw George Smiley come

to life in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. It starred the great Alec

Guinness as Smiley. He was trying to uncover a Soviet mole in the British

intelligence. This clip is so good. Do I understand correctly that no

one at the circus knows you are in England? Only Mr Palumbo. You are

officially absent without leave? On the wanted list? What an actor. And

Aled factory. John le Carre introduced Sir Alec Guinness to a

real-life spy to get into the role. Any real-life spies onset? John le

Carre was therefore a couple of days, and he did... Their fears.

Quite nerve wracking. -- there he is. Should Tom Hiddleston be the

next James Bond, everyone is asking? I think he definitely should. Let's

have a look at the audition tape. My name is hiding, Jonathan Pine. --

Pine. Everyone's attracted to you. You can

sleep when you're dead. Who are you? Come on, he would be brilliant as

Bond. He certainly would. Superb. Tom Hollander as a Bond bad guy.

Hello! Thank you so much. Whatever you're doing on Sunday night, do not

miss the epic Night Manager. Before you go, we have an Easter gift. That

is just for you to take home and enjoy. A little Frisky egg. Thank

you very much. When we asked Emma Bunton what TV

show she would like to bring back, she said, look, I want to be honest,

is it too much to tell you what I really, really want? Oh, please! OK,

here she is. I'm Emma Bunton, and I want to bring

back Friends. Anyone who doesn't know what Friends

is, I would first this day, where have you been? -- firstly say. It is

about friends who live together and share everything. I first started

watching Friends back in 1995, and I watched every episode. Monica is

going to make you pack. She has Chaucer everyone. It's too late for

me but save yourselves. -- she has jobs for everyone. My friends were

like, not again, we are watching Friends! My brother was a fan, we

would sit around and do quizzes on Friends. It makes me sound weird.

There is Phoebe - eccentric, crazy chick. There is Ross, who is a

little bit of a dweeb. There is Chandler, the Joker. There is

Rachel, probably the prettiest one. Did I want a Rachel hairdo?

Probably. I was in pigtails, so I couldn't have layers. Monica tidies

up while people are partying. And jelly! How you doing? I definitely

wanted to be in that gang. I always thought I would want to hang out in

a New York apartment, go to Central Perk. I have got nice friends, but

they are not as funny. I think the first ever episode of Friends, you

look at it now, and you go, my goodness! The fashion was so

different, and you could see they were working on their characters.

Hey, everybody, this is Rachel. Remember my brother Ross? I think at

the friends was a monster hit because it was funny and

heart-warming, I would cry and it inspired me. I think it had

everything. I also remember the very last episode. I cried the whole way

through it. This is harder than I thought it would be. I felt it was

the end of an air after me. I was losing someone in my life. -- the

end of an error. # I'll be there for you #.

The main reason I would bring it back is for selfish reasons. I want

to laugh again, to see a whole new storyline. I want to see the twins

grown up, to see if Joey has actually met someone and settle

down. I want to see Ross and Rachel get married. There are so many

things. I want it to happen. How you doing? I'm all right. He has

done all sorts without -- and without knowing it, you have

probably seen his work on TV, from Ant Dec to the aliens on

Torchwood. It is prosthetics expert Neill Gorton. Lovely to see you. Are

people who are not sure, what is your job exactly? Making strange

things seems to be mostly what I do. Old age make up, robots, anything

that people ask me to build. So you stick stuff on people, you make

these incredible models from scratch? All that kind of thing.

Brilliant. Is this an Ood? It is. This is incredible. Tell us, how

long does it take to make was Mike start to finish, about three weeks.

You make moulds, cast them. I think we made 12. Is it heavy? It is quite

lightweight. It feels like sponge. Does the producers say, it is this

type of creature and you build it? There will usually be a description

in the script. This one, it said it was an albino, bold creature. --

bold creature. What a great job you have. Everyone must be at your door

at Halloween. Yes, I am everybody's best Naples you have made loads of

monsters in Doctor Who over the years, haven't you? Yes, we have

been doing it all that time. All of this looks uncomfortable. It makes

my face H just looking. Does it take a long time? It varies. Something

like an Ood is quite long. Take us through these. We do a lot of

animals. Of course, you can't film easily with a real gorilla or a real

bear. Are you going to have a go? My hand is inside. That is amazing. Oh,

hello! I can feel it moving inside. That is incredible. This would go on

someone's head. They are looking through the Camara in the nose in

order to see. The hair, the detail is incredible. It is like that

famous drumming advert for chocolate. It was not this one. That

is the sound of a researcher being fired. You're also responsible for

making Timothy Spall Fattest Man In Britain. When he stands up, he looks

like he is 30 stone plus, but how heavy is the costume? The suit is

quite cumbersome, but it is reasonably light. It is all

performance then. If you made it really heavy, he would not last. I

think we can see what actually goes inside. We have a clip. With the

Harry Potter film is, he is used to being in prosthetics, do some actors

handle it better than others? Yes, some really get into it and enjoy

it, others can't stand it. Do you have to give yourself over to four

hours? Yes. I switched it on. I thought it was your hip! One of the

other things that Neal can do with prosthetics is to age people. He is

the man behind Catherine Tate's Nan. Daisy drew the short straw and

volunteered. She didn't volunteer! She didn't. This is her at the start

of this morning, very freshfaced stop and then this is after Neal

worked his magic. Who are you working with? Assistance? Yes, they

are glueing on medical adhesives. How long did it take? An hour and a

quarter. To go from that... Today is a Right now. -- to Daisy Wright now.

The detail of the spots, and the next... Yes, it is a sculpture, and

we make it. It is the same prosthetics piece, obviously not

apply. You can feel it is silicone, soft and squishy. You actually went

out with all of this on? We asked people how old they thought I was,

we got 73, 60 eight. It's amazing, the attention to detail. Can you

move? It's quite tight, actually. How excited are you about getting it

off your face? She is going out with it on tonight!

Have you told her it is ten hours to get it off? I'm not sure how to get

it off. You are a genius, the wonderful Neill Gordon. APPLAUSE

Annex guest is a man of many talents with an arm as long. Today he is

flashing his serious side, Will Mellor in last night's completely

thrilling Line of Duty. Thank you. Operation Damson is an

ongoing initiative aimed at detection- prevention of gangland

murders. Intelligence sources indicate a significant believe the

suspect is preparing to commit a gangland execution. The suspect is a

known criminal with a history of violence, is expected to be armed

and is designated extremely dangerous. Welcome, Will Mellor

everybody! Go wild. I got to work today and I've not

seen last night's show. This is the first of the third series and I

watched earlier. It's just fantastic. It's kind of infuriating

because I will have to stick with it and watch it all. How was it joining

such a big show, being the new boy? I was over the moon, I had even seen

the first two series myself. I got the script. You know when you have a

good script. Then you have the process of really wanting the job on

the part. I was grateful when the phone rang and they said, you are

going to be in it. When I found out who else was in it, some of the

special arm straining... You put that deer on. The first two series

were so successful, did it put pressure on you? Once you want the

job, the pressure is just to make sure you do your job. If everyone

does their job... The scripts are so good you just want to be a part of

that. Especially playing an armed response unit. You look forward as

an actor to put on that deer and learn all the training. -- all that

gear. And when you put all that on it does change your demeanour, you

feel powerful? Yes, when I played Merlin, when I put it on I walked

differently. With this, it's just... It is a dream to be able to play...

For a man, a real masculine role. When you put the stuff on, we had to

do running scenes where we were chasing the suspect. Danny Waldron

was chasing and we didn't have the metal plates in that they would have

had. We were absolutely shattered! When we went past the camera 's

wheel collapsed. We had a couple of people working with us who were part

of the armed response unit team and they were not out of breath at all.

That was a difference between the actors and those who do it as a

living. You are so fit, physically fit! LAUGHTER

I thought I would clarify. Line of Duty is very different to your

regular cop show, police within the police. Yes, AC-12 are investigating

police who have committed crimes themselves. One of the characters in

last night's episode, said the easiest way to get away with killing

someone is to be a police officer. This is what it is about, Danny

Waldron's character. I don't want to spoil it because some people might

watch it on catch up. Investigating what has happened. He is an

incredible actor. I thought he smashed it, I sent him a message to

say he nailed it. He showed a lot of different dimensions. We watched

last night really proud. You have been on our TV screens since you

were 12. There is no doubt you would follow this career, because

apparently you were always a show off! I grew up with four older

sisters and I was the youngest and the only boy. If I member rightly

you use to be Michael Jackson impersonator? It was only at

weddings, I didn't go down the street moonwalking! I think we have

the music now. Do you remember the steps? LAUGHTER

Of course I remember the steps, I am a massive Michael Jackson fan. Come

on, we want to see it! Here we go, the traditional start. CHEERING

Beautiful. I am a very serious actor, don't you know! Not any more.

I must have known you for going on 20 years and I am so chuffed to see

you blossom as an actor. Thank you. Those roles you get, brilliant. I

mean this hand on heart, it still means the world to make on any job I

get. It is such a difficult industry to be in, there are so many great

actors who are out of work and it could be anybody. I'm grateful for

the parts I am getting. Because I did a lot of comedy, people are now

seeing me doing drama. I'm grateful for the fact people can see me in

those roles and show what I can do. Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of

Crisps, everyone talks about it to you still. Ten years. It was like a

cult following. Yes, working class people talking about what working

people talk about. Sheridan has done all right! Nearly as good as you.

Are you still in touch with the guys from Two Pints of Lager and a Packet

of Crisps? When you spend that amount of time with people, and I

have never laughed so much, we had the best time. It was like a family.

It wasn't my going to work. We laughed all day. It was in front of

a live audience. It is not everyone's cup of tea, you can't

take everyone's box, but the people who loved it got behind it. People

got behind it and followed it and I am really grateful. And you were in

Broadchurch, another huge drama. I know, really lucky. And very

difficult to any other character I have played, he was very understated

and withdrawn. You know me, I'm an extrovert. Sometimes it takes

someone to take a risk with you, to give you a part. I said, give me a

chance, I can do it. That can make a career. As actors, we do what we do,

but it is up to some deals to say yes, we'll take a chance. When I

played my first game role, we were fighting constantly, casting after

casting. But by director wanted me but the channel were unsure. It did

well and I went on to do good stuff. I'm very grateful for everything

going on. We are really chuffed, genuinely. Well done, great work.

And thank you for the Michael Jackson as well. Thank you very much

to Will. Make sure you watch Line of Duty. Catch up on last night. Before

you go, we have a little Easter egg for you. Look at this. Please don't

eat it, it has been under the lights for a long time! Will Mellor,

everybody! Jazz. Time for the biggest decision of the day, what

are we watching tonight? We are going to tell you about two

new series on over the weekend. Tonight, Channel 4, 8:30pm, Travel

Man, 48 hours in Sevilla. It looks very appealing! Sorry. Nothing from

the crew. I think they have left. The weather is supposed to be rotten

over the weekend so why not watch Richard Ayoade having fun in the

sun. Mini breaks are 50 shades of crazy. How can someone goes, new and

enjoy themselves without a decade to decompress? It's impossible to stop

the whole thing going crazy. Chaparro and buy a televised Kate

face I am going to drag you howling through a mini break. Tonight

Richard is joined by Rob Delaney. Just to recap, takes his mates

Majoli and get paid for it. What a gig. To be fair, Richard is

hilarious, I am a bit of a fan. Later we get to see him in Venice

with Jo Brand and in Dubai with Johnny Vegas. That is Phil. Channel

4, 830. -- that is film macro. Johnny Vegas. That is Phil. Channel

4, 'S Can't Touch This! Is you are

missing Ninja Warrior, this brand-new game show could be the

perfect replacement, hosted by ball and banjo. Contestants tackle a

giant obstacle course and it looks like anyone can take part. You have

been to 74 countries, how are you going to travel the course today?

With great difficulty I imagine. I will go down with all guns blazing.

Hang on, is that a walking stick? Nothing to see here, just

62-year-old man who uses a walking stick in a human catapult. Start the

clock. Looks great. That is Can't Touch

This on Saturday at 6:10pm. That is all we have time for tonight. Will

and Frisky are arguing over the remote. Honestly, boys! A huge thank

you to our guests this evening. Enjoy your weekend and enjoy

tonight's telly. You can check us out on the website. Also, James

Martin, Saturday Kitchen on BBC One, his last show. Have a great weekend.

This is the one opportunity that I have to show them something
