:03:05. > :03:09.hitting 78.15mph on his second go. He actually wanted to go a third
:03:10. > :03:14.time but they would not let him. I was watching it and of course, on
:03:15. > :03:15.telly it does not look so fast. I was thinking, I could go faster than
:03:16. > :03:18.that! Obviously, I couldn't! There's a lot of hype
:03:19. > :03:23.surrounding this young lady. She's currently starring as Germaine
:03:24. > :03:25.in the brilliant sitcom If you haven't heard
:03:26. > :03:45.of Helen Monks yet, That is not my name, call 999! My
:03:46. > :03:57.name is Germaine! I can do my sexy librarian bit... This just in -
:03:58. > :04:02.Calum is coming over to meet you all. My Magnum man! It is just
:04:03. > :04:03.hilarious! Congratulations on Raised
:04:04. > :04:15.by Wolves, it's hilarious. For anyone who hasn't seen it,
:04:16. > :04:19.can you give us a rundown? Raised by Wolves is
:04:20. > :04:21.a semi-autobiographical series, set on a Wolverhampton
:04:22. > :04:23.council estate. The script was written
:04:24. > :04:25.by Caitlin Moran and her sister It is about Deller and all of her
:04:26. > :04:54.children. And they were quite hands-on with
:04:55. > :04:58.it? Yes, obviously, they wrote it, and Caz was on set every single day.
:04:59. > :05:03.Caitlin is famously the busiest woman in the industry. She was
:05:04. > :05:08.always on the end of Skype. The sexy librarian dance, she actually Skype
:05:09. > :05:13.it in how to do that, which I hate telling people because I want to
:05:14. > :05:17.take credit for it but...! Right down to the finger on the lips, she
:05:18. > :05:24.knew exactly what she wanted. So are you an unofficial member of their
:05:25. > :05:28.family now, then? Highlight to think so. When you are filming it, you are
:05:29. > :05:32.asking a lot of personal questions about their lives and their
:05:33. > :05:39.childhood, which is bizarre. You were a super fan anyway. How did you
:05:40. > :05:42.get the part? By obsessed about Caitlin, to the point where I
:05:43. > :05:47.subconsciously based my entire appearance and world views on her.
:05:48. > :05:53.And then I went to one of her book launches, for her anthology, and I
:05:54. > :05:58.ran up to her to get my book signed. She said, you look a lot like me. I
:05:59. > :06:04.said, well, I should play you. I had heard that she was writing a sitcom.
:06:05. > :06:08.She said, yes, you should! I ended up getting the part! It really did
:06:09. > :06:15.happen. What could have ended in a restraining order... I am really
:06:16. > :06:18.glad YOU said that! Amazing! I also love the story, when you went to the
:06:19. > :06:25.audition, you took a fat suit with you? Yes, my brother... Because it
:06:26. > :06:30.is semiautobiographical, she was 16 stone when she was 16. It was just a
:06:31. > :06:36.week before the audition, I thought, I cannot eat that much cheese. My
:06:37. > :06:45.brother coincidentally had bought a woman's really professional fitted
:06:46. > :06:49.woman's fat suit. Why? For parties! So I took that in a bag and I said,
:06:50. > :06:56.I could put this on if you like. I don't know if that was the clincher.
:06:57. > :07:00.I hope it was my acting - is that the one you used on the series? We
:07:01. > :07:08.used it for the pilot. There I am. It is quite funny, there is a bit of
:07:09. > :07:14.a boob malfunction there. But I always think, one is bigger than the
:07:15. > :07:19.other in real life! What is it like wearing that? It is amazing. It is
:07:20. > :07:23.four stone in real life. At first I thought it would be a problem but it
:07:24. > :07:27.is amazing as it means you properly walk like her. I never feel more
:07:28. > :07:30.attractive than when I am Germaine. I was really worried about doing the
:07:31. > :07:37.second series because of how popular this first had been. At as soon as I
:07:38. > :07:43.had my boobs and my balm on, I was ready to go. Like me, you look a lot
:07:44. > :07:50.younger than you actually are. And I am about to play another series
:07:51. > :07:54.where I am 13. " Stories that this is going to America, is it
:07:55. > :08:00.confirmed? I heard it on Twitter! I think they are in talks at the
:08:01. > :08:07.moment. Will you do it? No, you're kidding! I cannot do an American
:08:08. > :08:13.accent. Oh, no! The only thing, I always end up going very southern.
:08:14. > :08:18.Like, there is an alligator in the house. I really hope there are no
:08:19. > :08:23.casting directors watching this! I could do it if I had a coach! That
:08:24. > :08:34.is what they do, isn't it, in the South?! So who could play her, do
:08:35. > :08:37.you think? I would love it to be Amy Schumer, she is my comedy hero. It
:08:38. > :08:45.will not be her but it would be great. We can have a look... Look at
:08:46. > :08:54.that. As if by magic! I would love her! One day I will merge! So, you
:08:55. > :08:59.have got lots coming up. Just going back to something you were saying,
:09:00. > :09:03.you are playing a 13-year-old. You look young enough but what is that
:09:04. > :09:08.project? It is a new Ben Elton sitcom for BBC Two, with David
:09:09. > :09:15.Mitchell playing the part of William Shakespeare. It is called Upstart
:09:16. > :09:21.Crow. I am playing his daughter, Susanna, who is very grumpy. I told
:09:22. > :09:25.you! You do not look happy! They say this will be the new Blackadder. We
:09:26. > :09:30.have been banned from using that word, but I think it will be, yes,
:09:31. > :09:37.definitely! Sorry! I remember at school we used to watch Blackadder
:09:38. > :09:44.as a treat at the end of term. It is so educational but also so funny. It
:09:45. > :09:47.really demystifies Shakespeare. You are doing so much. And you are
:09:48. > :09:54.studying as well, which is unbelievable. Yes, sort of. Hard
:09:55. > :09:55.time, I am doing a masters degree with the Open University. I keep
:09:56. > :09:57.forgetting I am doing that. Time now to crown the latest winner
:09:58. > :10:06.of Too Much TV's Best So far, Simon Cowell,
:10:07. > :10:10.Ant and Dec and Basil Brush have all been awarded TV's
:10:11. > :10:12.most respected accolade. But who will be joining
:10:13. > :10:15.them this week? Please welcome the man
:10:16. > :10:44.with all the answers, You are a real person! It is nice
:10:45. > :10:49.finally to be here! Does that mean I get a pay rise? No, not at all. Last
:10:50. > :10:50.time I saw you, you were on a horse! So what's the category
:10:51. > :10:59.this week, Funmbi? TV cooks. Some people who did not
:11:00. > :11:10.make the list are still very top chefs. People like list. Delia Smith
:11:11. > :11:15.did not make the list. Jamie Oliver, just the one we went with first.
:11:16. > :11:23.Amazing chef. Sold more than 7.3 million cookery books.
:11:24. > :11:25.James Martin, who recently made a tearful farwell
:11:26. > :11:40.It was a sad moment for all Saturday Kitchen lovers. Next up, Gordon
:11:41. > :11:47.Ramsay. Top chef, six Michelin stars at the moment. He is a top chef so
:11:48. > :11:56.he had to make the list. Next was Nigella Lawson. Why not? She has
:11:57. > :12:04.actually cooked for George W Bush. I wonder what she made! How did you
:12:05. > :12:09.find that out? And last but not least, the lovely Mary Berry. A
:12:10. > :12:15.aching genius. 50 years in the game! Amazing. She was our last choice. It
:12:16. > :12:22.was a very tough competition. Such a tough group. I would hate to pick
:12:23. > :12:26.any of them. They are all brilliant. But let's see what the great British
:12:27. > :12:36.public had to say when you hit the streets of Brixton.
:12:37. > :12:47.Are you ready, Brixton? What do you think makes a good TV chef? A a bit
:12:48. > :12:51.of eye own. Someone with character, someone who cooks something fast. I
:12:52. > :12:57.like Jamie Oliver, I like his honesty. I have got a soft spot for
:12:58. > :13:03.Mary Berry, she makes it easy, she does not go too fast. Jamie likes
:13:04. > :13:07.telling you he can do everything in ten minutes, but most people can't.
:13:08. > :13:12.So many people think you can't do it in 15 minutes, but you really can. I
:13:13. > :13:19.like Jamie Oliver the best. He is a bit of a cheeky chirpy. Happy days.
:13:20. > :13:27.Gordon Ramsey, too angry. He is a bit dramatic. But we love him! A
:13:28. > :13:36.little bit of that! Think about it, yes? I think he is entertaining.
:13:37. > :13:43.People like it, though. That is what makes him him. For me, James Martin.
:13:44. > :13:51.Nigella is good for other reasons! That is a big heap of gorgeousness
:13:52. > :13:56.there. This is what you really want. Four tablespoons of salad cream... I
:13:57. > :14:02.think a lot of people are attracted to her. And her food looks amazing.
:14:03. > :14:08.Do you like her food? I like her food and I love the way she looks.
:14:09. > :14:14.That is it for me. She does it for me as well. You only get to pick
:14:15. > :14:21.one, I'm afraid! Good stuff! A lot of opinions! I like that. Brixton
:14:22. > :14:25.knows its food. Who is your favourite? Jamie Oliver. He teaches
:14:26. > :14:31.people a more realistic way of cooking. Nutritious, delicious
:14:32. > :14:39.meals. Who are you feeling on my list? I am feeling Mary Berry. Why?
:14:40. > :14:45.She is just, you know, I like a grandma that bakes me... I really,
:14:46. > :14:58.really like that. I am going to go for Jamie. -- James. The moment has
:14:59. > :15:02.come for me to hang up my Saturday Kitchen apron strings for the very
:15:03. > :15:10.last time. He is moving on. What is he moving on to?! I tell you what,
:15:11. > :15:15.they took it really seriously. I like that. It is massively tough. I
:15:16. > :15:17.know. I adore Jamie Oliver. I love Gordon Ramsay.
:15:18. > :15:20.The time has finally come for to reveal the Best of the Best
:15:21. > :15:48.Who is the winner, Mary Berry or Jamie?
:15:49. > :15:56.I'm not sure. OK, I will put you out of your misery. Can we get a drum
:15:57. > :15:59.roll, please, guys? And there he is, next to Basil
:16:00. > :16:14.Brush. Before you go, there's one more
:16:15. > :16:28.Best of the Best you need to award - I wanted to say it was a hard
:16:29. > :16:31.decision, but it really wasn't. The winner is,.
:16:32. > :16:35.I'd like to thank my manager, my family and all of my fans.
:16:36. > :17:00.It is just so special to me! You enjoy that. There we go. Big thanks
:17:01. > :17:09.to Funmbi, you always been my least favourite comedian.
:17:10. > :17:15.Time now to meet our next guest, he's one of the funniest men
:17:16. > :17:17.hit comedy Phoenix Nights, playing crooner Jerry St Clair.
:17:18. > :17:23.How could we forget the Black Bin Bag song?
:17:24. > :17:35.#, and get your lack beanbags. Thereon offer until December. #, and
:17:36. > :17:43.get your black bin bags. They are long and black and slender. # Heavy
:17:44. > :17:46.duty black bin bags. # no matter what your gender.
:17:47. > :17:50.Please welcome, Bolton's finest, Dave Spikey!
:17:51. > :17:53.Phoenix Nights was such a popular show, do you have fond memories
:17:54. > :18:04.It was wonderful, 12 or 13 years ago but we got 15,000 people in in a
:18:05. > :18:10.night and when you are making it you don't realise it. It was such good
:18:11. > :18:17.fun. We were all mates. Peter cast a lot of comedians without any
:18:18. > :18:21.accidents -- actors, and the continuity went overboard. You have
:18:22. > :18:25.no idea about holding the things right, and the outtakes are as long
:18:26. > :18:31.as the DVD. How did you get anything done? It is difficult but when you
:18:32. > :18:34.get on the set, as you know, there are the constraints of finance and
:18:35. > :18:41.people getting a bid for long, so you have to get it right, -- a bit
:18:42. > :18:48.full on. It only takes one people to laugh. What I love is that you
:18:49. > :18:56.brought in this book, and it's almost like this is your life, and
:18:57. > :19:00.it had ideas for In the Club. It was formed from the first Peter Kay
:19:01. > :19:04.series which was spoof documentaries, and the first one was
:19:05. > :19:09.about the club. We decided if there was going to be a series, it would
:19:10. > :19:17.be that. Those are my original notes, from 2000. Handwritten staff.
:19:18. > :19:26.Look at that. I was broadly still in the hospital when I was in that. --
:19:27. > :19:33.probably still in the hospital. This should be in a museum. There is one
:19:34. > :19:41.idea we never used and you can always reuse things, but we had an
:19:42. > :19:45.idea for a stripper's night. Those sort of clubs, they have them on
:19:46. > :19:50.Sunday afternoons, of all times, that the fellas on a Sunday
:19:51. > :19:54.afternoon. There were notes from every club we went to, doing the
:19:55. > :19:57.research and great lines. We went for a club and they booked the
:19:58. > :20:03.strippers but they got male strippers, so two blokes turned up,
:20:04. > :20:10.and get this, they were called Vulcan and vertigo. I don't know
:20:11. > :20:19.why. Vertigo? Don't let him get on the table. What about your character
:20:20. > :20:25.Jerry? He is an amalgam of compere or vocalists you have ever seen. You
:20:26. > :20:30.go to club and they have the pictures outside, the compere, and
:20:31. > :20:36.if you are a guitarist vocalists, they have their own terminology. He
:20:37. > :20:39.is an amalgam. Everywhere I go in the country they always say I based
:20:40. > :20:44.on the compere at the British Legion, so it means you got it
:20:45. > :20:48.right. You did not sing this. That was my biggest fear. I had to
:20:49. > :20:54.audition for Jerry because I had never acted properly, and some might
:20:55. > :20:58.say not since. But that was my biggest fear because I've never sung
:20:59. > :21:02.karaoke or anything in public before there was so much to sing, ranging
:21:03. > :21:13.from Chennai at Wayne, singing the most inappropriate things -- Shania
:21:14. > :21:16.Twain. It must have been lovely when you got back together with Peter Kay
:21:17. > :21:23.for comic relief. You raised an amazing amount of money. We just had
:21:24. > :21:27.the best time. I do get goose bumps. Backstage and onstage. Waiting to go
:21:28. > :21:36.back on stage as Jerry, with the white tuxedo, going on and singing
:21:37. > :21:45.Brimful of Asher. 15,000 people doing it and singing the thing about
:21:46. > :21:48.black bin bags and corned beef. Comedy writer, comedian, and you are
:21:49. > :21:52.on tour and you have done so much, but we want to talk about game show
:21:53. > :22:01.hosting. Chain Letters. How did that come about? I did the warm up for
:22:02. > :22:05.one of the series and the producer asked me to audition. They were
:22:06. > :22:10.having an different host every series. I went to the audition and
:22:11. > :22:14.got the gig. I had to take two or three weeks off work and we did five
:22:15. > :22:18.shows a day and it was the days before the autocue and there were
:22:19. > :22:24.five cameras and three contestants with funny stories, I collect ducks,
:22:25. > :22:27.all that sort of thing. You had to remember who went first in which
:22:28. > :22:35.around, and I wasn't ready for it. What makes a good game show host? It
:22:36. > :22:38.is nerve wracking being in the studio, but being a contest you are
:22:39. > :22:44.a fish out of water. The host has to make you feel at home. You have to
:22:45. > :22:46.do your research and look at the stories in the background and bring
:22:47. > :22:53.those into the conversation and get them to relax. We were thinking who
:22:54. > :22:59.were our favourites? First up man, a bit like you, all-rounder, training
:23:00. > :23:01.to be a great game show host. Best remembered for the price is right,
:23:02. > :23:19.Leslie Crowther, come on down! Pauline, brace yourself, because if
:23:20. > :23:23.you win the next game, you will quite definitely be riding around
:23:24. > :23:34.the streets of Southend-on-Sea, Lord help it, combat. ?100 -- on that. A
:23:35. > :23:43.patio set, a vacuum cleaner, and the marauder caravan, it is all yours.
:23:44. > :23:49.Come on down, the price is right. So stylish though, wasn't he? He was
:23:50. > :23:55.the consummate game show host. A very nice man. I did some warm-ups
:23:56. > :24:01.for him. A good guide. Next up, the Queen of mean, and Robinson. She
:24:02. > :24:06.might have only hosted the Queen -- the weakest Link, she had a way of
:24:07. > :24:12.shutting everybody else up. Why were you so bad in that round? Zippy, why
:24:13. > :24:18.is it that you never let George speak? Do you know what I am going
:24:19. > :24:25.to do? George, this is especially for you. Because we all want to hear
:24:26. > :24:31.George and there is nothing that you all day long -- there is nothing but
:24:32. > :24:36.you all day long. She tried to put the Welsh in room 101. We should
:24:37. > :24:47.have the list. Chris Tarrant, an guy. -- an amazing guy. He got too
:24:48. > :24:50.nice in Deal or no Deal. There's only a certain number of prizes, and
:24:51. > :24:55.then you have to steal them of people. You don't necessarily want
:24:56. > :25:00.the prize, you just don't want them. Will you be singing in this? I won't
:25:01. > :25:05.be singing in that. Are you watching any TV at the moment? I just
:25:06. > :25:13.finished the Night Manager, but I also like Doctor Thorn. To have him
:25:14. > :25:21.as the evil character and then be the lovely character on the other.
:25:22. > :25:22.And Happy Valley. Thanks for coming on the show. Give it up for Dave
:25:23. > :25:31.Spikey. Thank you so much. Time now for the biggest
:25:32. > :25:33.decision of the day. We start on a channel called Spike,
:25:34. > :25:45.at 9, for a new series called Wicked This US reality show follows fishing
