0:00:02 > 0:00:04It was a show that went out three nights a week live.

0:00:04 > 0:00:05Mr Wogan, you're on, you're on.

0:00:05 > 0:00:09With a live audience and everyone who is anyone dropping in.

0:00:09 > 0:00:14The great and the good, the bad and the ugly. They called it Wogan.

0:00:14 > 0:00:15Ha, I never knew why.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18So, if you're sitting comfortably,

0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'll show you something I made earlier.

0:00:20 > 0:00:23God knows what they'll think of us in 25 years' time.

0:00:35 > 0:00:36Gosh, it's you again.

0:00:36 > 0:00:39Welcome to a show bursting with best bits

0:00:39 > 0:00:42from the Wogan back catalogue.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44It's an eclectic mix we have for you today,

0:00:44 > 0:00:48but I think your interest will be piqued because the line-up includes

0:00:48 > 0:00:51Margaret Thatcher, Naomi Campbell,

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Vanessa-Mae and Paul Gascoigne.

0:00:55 > 0:01:00Why don't we make a start with a rare interview with royalty?

0:01:00 > 0:01:01I rarely get the chance.

0:01:01 > 0:01:05And when Princess Anne came onto the Wogan show in 1985,

0:01:05 > 0:01:09it gave the public an opportunity to see her outside official engagements

0:01:09 > 0:01:14and a chance to find out what Her Royal Highness was really like.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17And the consensus afterwards was...

0:01:17 > 0:01:18most people really liked her.

0:01:19 > 0:01:20I certainly did.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23Are you conscious of the fact that - what is called

0:01:23 > 0:01:25in this business your image -

0:01:25 > 0:01:28has improved over the past few years?

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Mm.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33LAUGHTER You're telling me? Erm...

0:01:35 > 0:01:38Yes, I tend to wonder...

0:01:40 > 0:01:44I like to ask people what they were expecting

0:01:44 > 0:01:46before they met me

0:01:46 > 0:01:48and then I find out what my image was, you see.

0:01:48 > 0:01:51- What do they say when you ask them that?- I'm just about ask YOU that.

0:01:51 > 0:01:53LAUGHTER

0:01:53 > 0:01:55APPLAUSE

0:02:01 > 0:02:02Well, you see, the problem is, ma'am,

0:02:02 > 0:02:05that if I tell you that you will blush in all modesty.

0:02:05 > 0:02:07LAUGHTER

0:02:07 > 0:02:09Oh.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10Well, forget it.

0:02:10 > 0:02:12LAUGHTER

0:02:12 > 0:02:15My goodness, I just scraped out of that one.

0:02:15 > 0:02:16LAUGHTER

0:02:16 > 0:02:18All public figures are security risks,

0:02:18 > 0:02:22to what extent is your private life hampered...

0:02:22 > 0:02:24by security?

0:02:26 > 0:02:28Nowadays, not, really.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Because living in Gloucestershire and on a farm

0:02:34 > 0:02:37is really quite off the beaten track

0:02:37 > 0:02:41and out of the public view. It's really not too difficult.

0:02:41 > 0:02:45You're at home and not very much in evidence.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47Erm...

0:02:47 > 0:02:50In public on your official engagements, of course,

0:02:50 > 0:02:55it's an occupational hazard and I think while busy and while

0:02:55 > 0:02:59you're actually going about talking to people you don't really notice.

0:02:59 > 0:03:01That's not to say that other people, of course, don't notice

0:03:01 > 0:03:05because it tends to be rather more obvious from the outside

0:03:05 > 0:03:07than it is from where you are.

0:03:07 > 0:03:10Do you and Captain Phillips ever get a chance to go out on your own,

0:03:10 > 0:03:11say, for a quiet meal?

0:03:13 > 0:03:18Yes, again, because in the area... Being a sort of reasonably quiet,

0:03:18 > 0:03:20rural area, that's not really very difficult.

0:03:20 > 0:03:22We've actually got one or two decent restaurants.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24I'm not going to tell you what they are!

0:03:24 > 0:03:26LAUGHTER

0:03:26 > 0:03:28I and the family would be down there next Sunday.

0:03:28 > 0:03:29LAUGHTER

0:03:29 > 0:03:32Well, you must know the area because in Cheltenham...

0:03:32 > 0:03:34- You go to Cheltenham occasionally, don't you?- Yes, I do.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37To support the Irish and we needed a bit of support this year.

0:03:37 > 0:03:39You did, didn't you? Yes.

0:03:39 > 0:03:43- Did you have any bets yourself?- No. I give that up a long time ago.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45LAUGHTER

0:03:45 > 0:03:47When I was about 12.

0:03:47 > 0:03:48LAUGHTER

0:03:50 > 0:03:53- Lost all your pocket money.- Yes.

0:03:53 > 0:03:54To my nanny.

0:03:54 > 0:03:57LAUGHTER

0:03:58 > 0:04:02What would you say was the... Do you enjoy going to formal functions?

0:04:03 > 0:04:06I mean, you have to keep that smile on all the time and...

0:04:06 > 0:04:09be nice to everybody.

0:04:09 > 0:04:12Well, you're nice to most of your guests, aren't you, really?

0:04:12 > 0:04:14And you manage to smile at them

0:04:14 > 0:04:17and sort of keep up with them intelligently.

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Yes, but only for about 40 minutes.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21You've got to do it for hours on end.

0:04:21 > 0:04:25I don't have to speak to the same person for 40 minutes.

0:04:25 > 0:04:27I mean, everybody's different.

0:04:27 > 0:04:31I mean, you seldom meet the same person twice.

0:04:31 > 0:04:36But the thing that always strikes me as a formidable task is

0:04:36 > 0:04:38the endless reviewing lines that you have to go to, say,

0:04:38 > 0:04:41at a Royal premiere or at a Bafta Award.

0:04:41 > 0:04:44How can you think of something new to say

0:04:44 > 0:04:46to each one that you come up to?

0:04:46 > 0:04:48Apart from, "I loved the movie" and...

0:04:48 > 0:04:50Well, except for they usually introduce you

0:04:50 > 0:04:53before you've seen the movie which is always a bit of a hazard.

0:04:53 > 0:04:55LAUGHTER

0:04:55 > 0:04:57"I loved your last movie."

0:04:57 > 0:04:59It's like when you're opening something you haven't even

0:04:59 > 0:05:01seen which happens quite a lot.

0:05:01 > 0:05:03What do you do under those circumstances -

0:05:03 > 0:05:05when you open something you haven't seen?

0:05:05 > 0:05:08I'm very short about it. I don't say a lot.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11I say, "I'm very much looking forward to seeing whatever it is that

0:05:11 > 0:05:15"I'm about to open." Or words to that effect.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18But I frequently thank them for the opportunity of having seen it

0:05:18 > 0:05:20before I open it if I'm allowed to do so.

0:05:20 > 0:05:23LAUGHTER

0:05:23 > 0:05:28Erm, it slightly depends. I mean, you can play it two ways.

0:05:28 > 0:05:32You can ask everybody... It's rather like sort of market research.

0:05:32 > 0:05:36You can ask everybody, literally everybody, the same questions...

0:05:36 > 0:05:39Like you have three questions for that afternoon

0:05:39 > 0:05:41and you ask everybody the same questions

0:05:41 > 0:05:44and with any luck it shortens the time involved

0:05:44 > 0:05:47because if the person standing next to the one you're talking to

0:05:47 > 0:05:50is paying any attention, they'll have the answers ready for you.

0:05:50 > 0:05:53LAUGHTER

0:05:53 > 0:05:58What would you do if royalty was abolished? What...?

0:05:58 > 0:06:00LAUGHTER

0:06:00 > 0:06:03I'd have to work even harder on the farm, wouldn't I?

0:06:03 > 0:06:05LAUGHTER

0:06:05 > 0:06:07Is there anything you would really like to do?

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Any career you would like to have pursued it you hadn't

0:06:10 > 0:06:12been the royal princess?

0:06:12 > 0:06:15I think it's rather difficult to tell now what career

0:06:15 > 0:06:17I would really like to have pursued.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20Didn't you qualify as a heavy goods vehicle driver?

0:06:20 > 0:06:23LAUGHTER

0:06:23 > 0:06:27Yes, out of necessity I qualified as a heavy goods vehicle driver.

0:06:27 > 0:06:31I thought it might have been some urge to drive a great pantechnicon

0:06:31 > 0:06:35down a motorway one day and roll over hedgehogs.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36LAUGHTER

0:06:36 > 0:06:41This is just yet another one of those bits of media mythology, isn't it?

0:06:41 > 0:06:46I was actually asked if there was anything I could do if,

0:06:46 > 0:06:49as you mentioned, the royal family was abolished.

0:06:49 > 0:06:51And, just like that, I mean,

0:06:51 > 0:06:55on the basis that one didn't have a farm to work on or there was no other

0:06:55 > 0:07:01alternative, both my husband and I have heavy goods vehicle licences.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05Erm, he has an HGV 1 and I have an HGV 3.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09So, in fact, it seemed like a very logical way of earning one's living.

0:07:10 > 0:07:12And you could do it... There are, in fact...

0:07:12 > 0:07:16There is quite a demand for good horsebox drivers...

0:07:16 > 0:07:17LAUGHTER

0:07:17 > 0:07:20..who know one end of a horse from another, you see.

0:07:20 > 0:07:23And we thought we could probably crack that one between us.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25LAUGHTER

0:07:25 > 0:07:26So that would be the career?

0:07:26 > 0:07:29- You think you could bend your hand to that?- Yes.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31But you said what would I CHOOSE as a career,

0:07:31 > 0:07:34- that wasn't the same thing at all. - No, that's true. A sneaky...

0:07:34 > 0:07:36And if I get any more offers for,

0:07:36 > 0:07:37"If you really want to come

0:07:37 > 0:07:41"and drive a lorry, come up to the Co-op at wherever it is," or,

0:07:41 > 0:07:43"I've got a spare lorry going you can try..."

0:07:43 > 0:07:45I already do drive.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Quite often.

0:07:49 > 0:07:52Your Royal Highness, thank you for joining us.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55APPLAUSE

0:08:02 > 0:08:07A musical moment now that was not just a treat but an honour for me.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10How many can say they've sat next to the great Peggy Lee

0:08:10 > 0:08:15as she sang one of her greatest songs, Fever?

0:08:30 > 0:08:34# Never know how much I love you

0:08:34 > 0:08:37# You never know how much I care

0:08:37 > 0:08:40# When you put your arms around me

0:08:40 > 0:08:43# I get a fever that's so hard to bear

0:08:43 > 0:08:46# You give me fever

0:08:46 > 0:08:48# When you kiss me

0:08:48 > 0:08:51# Fever when you hold me tight

0:08:51 > 0:08:53# Fever

0:08:53 > 0:08:54# In the mornin'

0:08:54 > 0:08:57# Fever all through the night

0:08:58 > 0:09:01# They said when I met Terry Wogan

0:09:01 > 0:09:05# You simply have to touch his knee

0:09:05 > 0:09:08# I don't know what they meant by that

0:09:08 > 0:09:11# But I think I'll have to try it and see

0:09:11 > 0:09:14# You give me fever

0:09:14 > 0:09:15# When you kiss me

0:09:15 > 0:09:19# Fever when you hold me tight

0:09:19 > 0:09:20# Fever

0:09:20 > 0:09:22# In the mornin'

0:09:22 > 0:09:24# Fever all through the night

0:09:26 > 0:09:29# Everybody's got the fever

0:09:29 > 0:09:33# That is somethin' you all know

0:09:33 > 0:09:36# Fever isn't such a new thing

0:09:36 > 0:09:38# Fever started long ago

0:09:40 > 0:09:42# Ah-h-h

0:09:47 > 0:09:49# Romeo loved Juliet

0:09:49 > 0:09:53# Juliet, she felt the same

0:09:53 > 0:09:56# When he put his arms around her

0:09:56 > 0:09:58# He said Julie, baby, you're my flame

0:09:58 > 0:10:03# Thou giveth fever with your kisses

0:10:03 > 0:10:05# Fever with thy flaming youth

0:10:06 > 0:10:10# Fever, I'm on fire

0:10:10 > 0:10:13# Fever yea I burn forsooth

0:10:13 > 0:10:15# Forsooth, I doth burn

0:10:20 > 0:10:23# Captain Smith, Pocahontas

0:10:23 > 0:10:26# Had a very mad affair

0:10:26 > 0:10:29# When her daddy tried to kill him

0:10:29 > 0:10:32# She said, Daddy, oh, don't you dare

0:10:32 > 0:10:35# He gives me fever

0:10:35 > 0:10:37# With his kisses

0:10:37 > 0:10:40# Fever when he holds me tight

0:10:40 > 0:10:41# Fever, I'm his missus

0:10:43 > 0:10:47# Daddy, won't you treat him right?

0:10:47 > 0:10:51# Ah-h-h-h

0:10:54 > 0:10:57# Now you've listened to my story

0:10:57 > 0:11:00# Here's the point that I have made

0:11:00 > 0:11:03# Chicks were born to give you fever

0:11:03 > 0:11:06# Be it Fahrenheit or centigrade

0:11:06 > 0:11:10# They give you fever when you kiss them

0:11:10 > 0:11:12# Fever when you touch their knee

0:11:14 > 0:11:16# Fever, I'm on fire. #

0:11:16 > 0:11:18SHE CHUCKLES

0:11:18 > 0:11:21# You see

0:11:22 > 0:11:26# And what a lovely way to burn

0:11:26 > 0:11:30# What a lovely way to burn

0:11:30 > 0:11:33# What a lovely way to burn. #

0:11:35 > 0:11:40APPLAUSE

0:11:50 > 0:11:53Now, getting up close and finding out what makes a person tick

0:11:53 > 0:11:57is one of the great privileges of being a talk-show host.

0:11:57 > 0:12:00Here's one example where I hope we learned a bit more about the person

0:12:00 > 0:12:05than we would have done in, say, a hard-hitting political interview.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08And I say political because this next guest

0:12:08 > 0:12:11was the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13APPLAUSE

0:12:35 > 0:12:38You don't often get an audience as rowdy as that, I suppose.

0:12:38 > 0:12:41Oh, very often in Prime Minister's Questions.

0:12:41 > 0:12:43LAUGHTER

0:12:43 > 0:12:45Yes, they're much rowdier than that at Prime Minister's Questions

0:12:45 > 0:12:48- and probably not as well disposed. - Quite.

0:12:48 > 0:12:52I was going to ask you about the performance in the House of Commons

0:12:52 > 0:12:55or when you're meeting heads of state, are you ever apprehensive?

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Are you ever nervous before you get up and speak?

0:12:59 > 0:13:02Always. And you wouldn't speak well if you weren't.

0:13:02 > 0:13:05I've been answering questions in the House every

0:13:05 > 0:13:09Tuesday and Thursday for ten years when the House is in session.

0:13:09 > 0:13:12I'm still just as nervous as I was at the beginning.

0:13:12 > 0:13:15It requires immense preparation,

0:13:15 > 0:13:18it usually takes me about four hours to prepare because

0:13:18 > 0:13:22I've no idea what the questions are and I know everyone will like to ask

0:13:22 > 0:13:27a topical one, so I have to go through the papers very carefully.

0:13:27 > 0:13:32But the moment you've started, you forget about yourself completely.

0:13:32 > 0:13:35You think only about the answers and then it's all right.

0:13:35 > 0:13:38Do you ever look at yourself on television?

0:13:38 > 0:13:40Do you ever analyse your performances?

0:13:40 > 0:13:44No, I've only ever done so once, I can't bear seeing myself.

0:13:44 > 0:13:47I think one would be most critical,

0:13:47 > 0:13:49far more critical than anyone else.

0:13:49 > 0:13:51But when we were going to have television in the House,

0:13:51 > 0:13:54the cameras were in a completely different position from what

0:13:54 > 0:13:56you'd expect normally,

0:13:56 > 0:14:00so I did go and stand by the dispatch box and the cameras

0:14:00 > 0:14:02very kindly took a film of how it would look

0:14:02 > 0:14:05and that really was very useful.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08But that was not live, it was a kind of private performance.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11Otherwise the whole family knows

0:14:11 > 0:14:16that if I'm in the news, I go immediately and turn off the news.

0:14:16 > 0:14:20They turn it on, so I have to go out until it's over.

0:14:20 > 0:14:24- You get embarrassed by yourself? - I would be very, very dissatisfied.

0:14:24 > 0:14:27You never know what you yourself look like, you can't.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30You never know what you yourself sound like

0:14:30 > 0:14:32and I don't think you'd be...

0:14:32 > 0:14:34You would think you look different

0:14:34 > 0:14:38- and sounded different from you do. - Do you ever have any advice?

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Do people come to you and say, "Prime Minister,

0:14:40 > 0:14:42"you shouldn't have stood like that.

0:14:42 > 0:14:45"Perhaps you shouldn't have worn that dress."

0:14:45 > 0:14:47We don't have half as much of that

0:14:47 > 0:14:49now as right at the beginning of television

0:14:49 > 0:14:53when they told you there were all sorts of things that you mustn't do

0:14:53 > 0:14:55but, really, if you've got to think about every single movement,

0:14:55 > 0:14:58- you can't think about what you're going to say.- That's true.

0:14:58 > 0:15:01And it's much more important to think what you're going to say.

0:15:01 > 0:15:03So, really, in a way, you have to forget yourself.

0:15:03 > 0:15:06Otherwise, you'll look stilted.

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Now, you've been at Number Ten for ten years now, this is the 11th, and

0:15:10 > 0:15:15you've seen your share of trouble and strife, and success, triumph.

0:15:15 > 0:15:18What have been your worst moments?

0:15:18 > 0:15:21Oh, the worst moment, undoubtedly, was

0:15:21 > 0:15:25when the Argentinians invaded the Falkland Islands.

0:15:25 > 0:15:26I will never forget it,

0:15:26 > 0:15:29when the news came that their fleet was on the way

0:15:29 > 0:15:33and we didn't know whether it was just an exercise

0:15:33 > 0:15:36or whether they were going to invade.

0:15:36 > 0:15:38They're 8,000 miles away.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43And the question was, could we ever get them back if they landed?

0:15:43 > 0:15:47Some advice said, "No, we can't.

0:15:47 > 0:15:50"We can't get them back if they take them."

0:15:51 > 0:15:55And you would think that it would have been impossible.

0:15:55 > 0:15:578,000 miles away.

0:15:57 > 0:15:59Takes three weeks to get there.

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Three weeks forewarning. You would have thought it was impossible.

0:16:03 > 0:16:06But we had to do it.

0:16:06 > 0:16:08Public opinion required it.

0:16:08 > 0:16:14Someone had invaded British territory and the people were British.

0:16:14 > 0:16:19They had been British, always, and the Argentinians hadn't lived there.

0:16:20 > 0:16:26And I will not forget calling together the chiefs of staff

0:16:26 > 0:16:30and then the Admiral coming in and saying,

0:16:30 > 0:16:35"Within 48 hours, Prime Minister, I can dispatch a whole fleet,

0:16:35 > 0:16:38"because we're always ready for NATO."

0:16:38 > 0:16:41And within 48 hours, it was dispatched.

0:16:43 > 0:16:49And then we had three weeks when we negotiated. And then we had to land.

0:16:49 > 0:16:51And that was another terrible time.

0:16:51 > 0:16:55And during the whole of that Falklands campaign, it was awful,

0:16:55 > 0:17:02but, just before we landed I had another visit from Harold Macmillan.

0:17:02 > 0:17:05He just came in to see me.

0:17:05 > 0:17:10And he just said, "I am the senior of all the living prime ministers.

0:17:10 > 0:17:15"I just want to offer you our full and total support."

0:17:15 > 0:17:18"And maybe to give you a little advice."

0:17:18 > 0:17:20Which was so very welcome.

0:17:20 > 0:17:24He said, "Set up a small emergency committee of Cabinet,

0:17:24 > 0:17:28"always with your chiefs of staff, not more than five."

0:17:28 > 0:17:31"And", he said, "keep the Treasury out."

0:17:31 > 0:17:32LAUGHTER

0:17:32 > 0:17:35I thought that was very good advice because, really, it wasn't

0:17:35 > 0:17:37a question of money. We had to recover those.

0:17:37 > 0:17:40And we only had the bravery and professionalism

0:17:40 > 0:17:43of our people to rely on. So, I set up that emergency committee

0:17:43 > 0:17:46and we met every morning and every evening.

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Is this a good rule for all government, keep the Treasury out?

0:17:49 > 0:17:52No, no, no, it is only for emergencies because we have,

0:17:52 > 0:17:54in fact, just like a household, just like a business,

0:17:54 > 0:17:57we have to watch that we don't go and spend too much.

0:17:57 > 0:17:59You seem never stuck for an answer.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01Are you always certain of your ground?

0:18:01 > 0:18:05Goodness me, they'd howl you down if you were stuck for an answer.

0:18:05 > 0:18:06They learn a technique.

0:18:06 > 0:18:10Some ask longer questions and put all sorts of things in at

0:18:10 > 0:18:13the beginning which aren't right, and hope that you won't pick them up.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15Others think, "If I get in a quickie,

0:18:15 > 0:18:18"she won't have time to think of an answer."

0:18:18 > 0:18:20So you have all sorts of techniques.

0:18:20 > 0:18:24They don't seem to make any concessions to the fact

0:18:24 > 0:18:25that you're a woman.

0:18:25 > 0:18:27No, why should they?

0:18:27 > 0:18:30And I don't make any concession to the fact that they are men!

0:18:30 > 0:18:31LAUGHTER

0:18:31 > 0:18:33APPLAUSE

0:18:36 > 0:18:40Whether you like the image or not, you have the image of being

0:18:40 > 0:18:44a dominating personality, which you have, a dominating personality.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46And even domineering, in Cabinet.

0:18:46 > 0:18:50- That you don't like people who argue with you.- No.

0:18:50 > 0:18:51That's absolutely wrong.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54There's not much point in being a Prime Minister

0:18:54 > 0:18:56unless you are a dominating personality.

0:18:56 > 0:18:59Because you're dealing all the time with other heads of government

0:18:59 > 0:19:02and heads of state who are also dominating personalities.

0:19:02 > 0:19:04But, yes, I do like arguing.

0:19:04 > 0:19:07Absolutely flatly contrary to the image.

0:19:07 > 0:19:12We argue things out, and that is the way we come to a conclusion.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14But, in the end, they should agree with you?

0:19:14 > 0:19:20In the end... In the end, we come to the right conclusion.

0:19:20 > 0:19:22LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Margaret Thatcher. Perhaps the most admired,

0:19:29 > 0:19:33and hated, political figure of our time.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35We've had royalty, politics,

0:19:35 > 0:19:39and now, as they say, for something completely different, although

0:19:39 > 0:19:42I suppose you could describe Naomi Campbell as a queen of the catwalk,

0:19:42 > 0:19:47with a reputation in the fashion world as fierce as the Iron Lady's.

0:19:49 > 0:19:53Is it true that supermodels get paid an enormous amount of money?

0:19:53 > 0:19:55£10,000 a day?

0:19:55 > 0:19:59I never discuss money, ever. And I want to correct this.

0:19:59 > 0:20:02I never, ever said in any of my interviews that

0:20:02 > 0:20:05- I would never get out of bed for 10,000.- I never said you did.

0:20:05 > 0:20:07We were just making it up as we went along.

0:20:07 > 0:20:09It's a quote that's been following me for a while,

0:20:09 > 0:20:13but I just want to correct it, because I think it's not right.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Some people wouldn't make that in a lifetime, so they'd be mad to

0:20:16 > 0:20:20hear that we would make that or not get out of bed for that, so...

0:20:20 > 0:20:24Yeah, but I mean, it's market forces. It's supply and demand.

0:20:24 > 0:20:28You're a supermodel now. You can demand enormous fees, can't you?

0:20:28 > 0:20:31Well, I don't know if we can demand even that much,

0:20:31 > 0:20:35because it's like, to be here today and gone tomorrow. We can say,

0:20:35 > 0:20:39"Yeah, I will do it, and book it. I'll be there."

0:20:39 > 0:20:43How do the other models feel about the supermodels?

0:20:43 > 0:20:47I mean, presumably, you can dictate the clothes you want to wear.

0:20:47 > 0:20:50Actually, no. I wore some stuff in Milan that I hated,

0:20:50 > 0:20:53but because they're paying you, you've got to wear it.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56And you can't complain. It's all part of the job.

0:20:56 > 0:20:58You just smile and do your job and walk down the runway,

0:20:58 > 0:21:01gracefully as you can, you know? It's only for two minutes.

0:21:01 > 0:21:05- It's not going to hurt.- Do you still like the job?- Yeah. I do.

0:21:05 > 0:21:06I still like the job.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Do you think it's harder for black girls

0:21:09 > 0:21:11to make it to the top in modelling?

0:21:11 > 0:21:15Um, yeah, it's getting better I think now,

0:21:15 > 0:21:19like, all over America, London, Paris, Milan.

0:21:19 > 0:21:24At first, I think it was a trend, and now I think in terms

0:21:24 > 0:21:27of, like, cosmetic contracts and stuff like that,

0:21:27 > 0:21:32they're trying to market ethnic women, which has taken a long time

0:21:32 > 0:21:37to happen, because usually, you can have, like, ten cosmetic contracts

0:21:37 > 0:21:40but not one of them are for ethnic women,

0:21:40 > 0:21:44and now, they're considering that and they're thinking that, well,

0:21:44 > 0:21:50yeah, a Japanese or Jamaican woman is going to want to buy this make-up

0:21:50 > 0:21:53so let's start making it. And marketing it, so...

0:21:53 > 0:21:55So, how did you get started? I mean...

0:21:55 > 0:21:58It's like a fairytale, but it's true.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00I was discovered hanging out in Covent Garden.

0:22:00 > 0:22:02I don't believe a word of it.

0:22:02 > 0:22:04Yep, I just didn't want to go home,

0:22:04 > 0:22:07and I was hanging out with my school friends.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10And a lady called Beth came up to me and gave me a card and said,

0:22:10 > 0:22:12"Do you want to be a model?" And I said, "Yeah."

0:22:12 > 0:22:15And I took the card and took it home to my mother

0:22:15 > 0:22:18and thought about it for a few days.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20Then went to see her and it started.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23You know, every young lady listening to this at home, most of them

0:22:23 > 0:22:26would want to be a model like you, enormously successful,

0:22:26 > 0:22:28and making a lot of money,

0:22:28 > 0:22:30they wouldn't believe that because it's

0:22:30 > 0:22:35so very hard to be discovered. It's like a Hollywood story, isn't it?

0:22:35 > 0:22:39I must ask your mother. Your mother is in the audience.

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Can we get a picture of your mum? Up there. Is this true?

0:22:42 > 0:22:46- Yes.- Yes, well, your mum says it's true, did she give you any advice?

0:22:46 > 0:22:47Um...

0:22:47 > 0:22:52Basically just, keep your feet on the ground

0:22:52 > 0:22:54and not get kind of too big-headed.

0:22:54 > 0:22:56Was she a showbiz mum?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58No, she wasn't a pushy stage mother,

0:22:58 > 0:23:02although I went to Italia Conti and Barbara Speake's. I wanted to do it.

0:23:02 > 0:23:07So I kind of said, "I want to go to dance, I want to go to act."

0:23:07 > 0:23:11- And she, like...- You would still like to act, would you?- Yeah, I would.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15I've been doing stuff in the Cosby Show and stuff like that.

0:23:15 > 0:23:16Stuff that's right.

0:23:16 > 0:23:20I wouldn't do a film or a television show that's not right,

0:23:20 > 0:23:23and expect the model to be, just, like, an airhead.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26Yeah, that's right, because models do have that image, don't they?

0:23:26 > 0:23:28Yeah, but I think not any more. I think it's changing

0:23:28 > 0:23:32and people are beginning to realise that we are intelligent, that we're

0:23:32 > 0:23:35businesswomen and we can take care of ourselves and our careers.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36And manage ourselves.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38What's the life expectancy of a model?

0:23:38 > 0:23:40I mean the professional life expectancy.

0:23:40 > 0:23:45I started at 15 and my agent says to me I could model till I'm 30.

0:23:45 > 0:23:48But I don't want to, 15 years is a long time.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50Although there are some that have.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I'd like to do other things.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56Expand and change and try out different stuff.

0:23:56 > 0:23:58Is there a tacky side to it?

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Is there a side where you have to go to parties and be seen?

0:24:01 > 0:24:05No, you don't have to. I mean, I go out. I go out mainly to benefits.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07And every time people see me out and go,

0:24:07 > 0:24:09"You were partying last night",

0:24:09 > 0:24:11I'm like, "No, I wasn't, it was for a cause."

0:24:11 > 0:24:15But, no, you don't have to do what you don't want to do.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I mean, if you can help, and if you get to a certain point

0:24:18 > 0:24:21and your name's out there, and you can help for a cause for Aids

0:24:21 > 0:24:24or for children, I think you should try and do so.

0:24:24 > 0:24:29Does... Do ordinary guys ever get to meet girls like you?

0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Yeah, I meet guys on the street every day!- Steady!

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Just say hi, but...- You only say hello, yeah. And move on.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40But I mean, you know, there's lots of fellas would like to take

0:24:40 > 0:24:43you out. Do you only go out with Robert De Niro or Mike Tyson?

0:24:43 > 0:24:47I don't go out with Robert De Niro and Mike.

0:24:47 > 0:24:50Yeah, I did go out with Mike Tyson, but we're still, we're just friends,

0:24:50 > 0:24:52and, um...

0:24:52 > 0:24:56No, it just happens that it's the circle that you're in

0:24:56 > 0:24:59and you just meet these people.

0:24:59 > 0:25:02My first boyfriend was pretty normal

0:25:02 > 0:25:05and I don't have a preference of what kind of man I go out with,

0:25:05 > 0:25:08except if he has a good heart.

0:25:08 > 0:25:11Let's renew acquaintance with a child prodigy

0:25:11 > 0:25:13who came onto the Wogan show when she was just 13

0:25:13 > 0:25:16and treated us an extraordinary musical performance.

0:25:16 > 0:25:20The hugely talented Vanessa-Mae.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22APPLAUSE

0:29:14 > 0:29:15Oh, thank you.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Come and join us.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28- But thank you for joining us. - Thanks a lot.- You're only 13.- Yeah!

0:29:28 > 0:29:32- And you've already mastered most of the great concertos.- Mm-hm.

0:29:32 > 0:29:34When did you start playing the violin?

0:29:34 > 0:29:36I started playing the violin when I was five,

0:29:36 > 0:29:39and also piano when I was five, but when I was eight,

0:29:39 > 0:29:42I really decided that I was going to pursue the violin as a career.

0:29:42 > 0:29:45And since then, since October, I mean,

0:29:45 > 0:29:48since when I was 11, it's been my career.

0:29:48 > 0:29:49But why did you decide to...

0:29:49 > 0:29:52I mean, you were, and probably still are, a very talented pianist.

0:29:52 > 0:29:56Why did you decide to pick up the fiddle?

0:29:56 > 0:29:58Because the fiddle is such a sweet instrument,

0:29:58 > 0:30:01and it's so small and it's so compact, that

0:30:01 > 0:30:04you just slip it on your chin, and it's just so affectionate.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07- It's an affectionate little thing. - Yeah!

0:30:07 > 0:30:10- Only four strings but it can produce such a wide range of tones.- Yeah.

0:30:10 > 0:30:12But it's murder when you're starting, I mean...

0:30:12 > 0:30:15- Yeah.- Cos my father tried to teach me the violin and...

0:30:15 > 0:30:18..really every cat in the neighbourhood...

0:30:18 > 0:30:21- LAUGHTER - ..were swarming round the door. But obviously not in your case,

0:30:21 > 0:30:26because you are a prodigy. I mean, do you like being called a prodigy?

0:30:26 > 0:30:29- Would you rather...? - Well, I don't mind, really.

0:30:29 > 0:30:32I just want to... I just want to love the violin for ever and ever.

0:30:33 > 0:30:36- Were you encouraged by your parents? - Well, since I was five

0:30:36 > 0:30:40I have always been going to operas and ballets and concerts,

0:30:40 > 0:30:43so probably that helped me develop a strong love for music.

0:30:43 > 0:30:45But they all played instruments so...

0:30:45 > 0:30:47- Yeah.- ..it helped.

0:30:47 > 0:30:48Did you train in this country?

0:30:48 > 0:30:51Yeah, well, I've lived here since I was three and my father's English,

0:30:51 > 0:30:55so I've been going to the Royal College of Music for...

0:30:55 > 0:30:56on a professionals...

0:30:56 > 0:30:57Sorry, diploma course.

0:30:57 > 0:31:01And when I was eight I went to China to study the violin.

0:31:01 > 0:31:03I was supposed to go for a few years but, actually,

0:31:03 > 0:31:04I just went for a few months.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07- Couldn't stick it, eh?- No, I...

0:31:07 > 0:31:11I completed the work in quite a short time, so it was lucky to get back.

0:31:11 > 0:31:14- LAUGHTER - You are now at the Royal College of Music.

0:31:14 > 0:31:16But you're not with people of your own age. You say

0:31:16 > 0:31:19- you're on what? A diploma course? - Yeah, a professional diploma course,

0:31:19 > 0:31:22and most of the people are about 18 or 21.

0:31:22 > 0:31:26But I enjoy being with people older than me and people my own age too.

0:31:26 > 0:31:29Yeah. But there won't be any people your own age there...

0:31:29 > 0:31:31- Not at the moment.- No.

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Is it a kind of a burden, do you feel?

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Do you feel that an awful lot's expected of you?

0:31:36 > 0:31:40Erm, no, I like to feel that a lot is expected of me,

0:31:40 > 0:31:42because I like to compete with myself

0:31:42 > 0:31:45and to make myself play better all the time.

0:31:45 > 0:31:48That's the great... Playing the violin, it's an art.

0:31:48 > 0:31:50- You can always change it the next day.- Yeah.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I mean, it's been a tremendously successful year for you,

0:31:53 > 0:31:55travel all over the place... What was the...?

0:31:55 > 0:31:58Can you remember what was the best moment of the year for you has been?

0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, I enjoyed my two recordings very much, my first two recordings.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Especially the second one, where I had great fun.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06I composed and transcribed some of the works myself,

0:32:06 > 0:32:08some of the pop pieces.

0:32:08 > 0:32:11I transcribed One Moment In Time, which Whitney Houston sung,

0:32:11 > 0:32:14I transcribed. So that was great fun, that was the best.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17Yeah. You know what people always say about a young person like you

0:32:17 > 0:32:19with enormous talent and, indeed,

0:32:19 > 0:32:22genius mightn't be too strong a word...

0:32:22 > 0:32:24That you miss out on life a little bit,

0:32:24 > 0:32:27that you don't mix with people your own age...

0:32:27 > 0:32:29I don't feel so, because I love being with adults

0:32:29 > 0:32:32and, obviously, in this career you have to be with conductors

0:32:32 > 0:32:34and orchestras which are very much older than you.

0:32:34 > 0:32:37But I do get to school and be with people my own age

0:32:37 > 0:32:41- and chat about 13-year-old things. - Do you chat about pop? Pop music?

0:32:41 > 0:32:44Yeah, I love pop music too. But I mainly love Elvis Presley,

0:32:44 > 0:32:47especially Whitney Houston.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50I mean, there's another young man who's...

0:32:50 > 0:32:55He's no longer young but he's...he's young at heart, who was a bit of a prodigy when he was young -

0:32:55 > 0:32:58Nigel Kennedy. Now, do you follow Aston Villa...?

0:32:58 > 0:33:00LAUGHTER

0:33:00 > 0:33:02- I don't...- You'll have to pick a football team, you understand?

0:33:02 > 0:33:05I like tennis, I could pick tennis, maybe.

0:33:05 > 0:33:07But I don't know what he's doing nowadays but...

0:33:07 > 0:33:11but I know that what I'm doing is going to pop music a bit.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14But I don't think it's that original, because in the olden days

0:33:14 > 0:33:18Paganini - in his time, like one piece - La Campanella,

0:33:18 > 0:33:21that I recorded. It's meant to be a very popular, difficult tune,

0:33:21 > 0:33:24but at that time it was a pop-y tune of its day.

0:33:24 > 0:33:27So I think I'm following the tradition.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30But you know the way... I mean, Nigel is a genius as well,

0:33:30 > 0:33:32he plays brilliantly. But at least part of his popularity

0:33:32 > 0:33:35is due to the way he dresses and the way he talks. Erm...

0:33:36 > 0:33:39..and really, in a sense, you're in show business,

0:33:39 > 0:33:41- apart from anything else. - Yeah.

0:33:41 > 0:33:44Are you likely to dress in a more modern way.

0:33:44 > 0:33:46- You're dressed very modern now. - Yeah.- Yeah.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48I like to dress to suit the occasion.

0:33:48 > 0:33:50When I'm on a big stage with an orchestra,

0:33:50 > 0:33:52I like to wear a big ball dress.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55But this is just a fun chat with you so I can wear this.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:34:02 > 0:34:05I think with that attitude you'll go far, basically.

0:34:05 > 0:34:06LAUGHTER

0:34:06 > 0:34:10Of course she did, while doing a bit of skiing in her spare time.

0:34:10 > 0:34:14Now, Paul Gascoigne - who, over the years, has been a gift to both

0:34:14 > 0:34:17football and the tabloid press.

0:34:17 > 0:34:21At the time, this was an entertaining encounter with the most famous

0:34:21 > 0:34:24and popular man in the country.

0:34:24 > 0:34:29Watching it again, and knowing how things turned out for dear Gazza,

0:34:29 > 0:34:32I must say, I'm left with a little sadness.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35You're in a position that most young men would say...

0:34:35 > 0:34:38is a dream...

0:34:38 > 0:34:42Erm, but...from my perspective, having experienced a tiny piece

0:34:42 > 0:34:45of the kind of attention you're getting -

0:34:45 > 0:34:48- it could turn out to be a nightmare, you know.- Could be.

0:34:48 > 0:34:51But I'm trying me best not to let it turn out that way, you know.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54When I get as famous as you, than maybe I'll start worrying, like.

0:34:54 > 0:34:56LAUGHTER

0:34:56 > 0:34:58You're more famous than anybody in the world.

0:34:58 > 0:35:00Now, it's eight weeks since the World Cup and we've seen

0:35:00 > 0:35:04what's happened outside the door here, and it's been raining as well.

0:35:04 > 0:35:09A huge crowd of the kind of people that only New Kids On The Block

0:35:09 > 0:35:13or, erm, you know, Michael Jackson gets.

0:35:13 > 0:35:16- They are weeny-boppers. - Young weeny-boppers.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19- I'm only a weeny-bopper myself. - I know you are.

0:35:19 > 0:35:21- LAUGHTER - But that's the thing, you have an appeal.

0:35:21 > 0:35:24But the thing is, your appeal is across the board.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27I mean... How did they smuggle you in here tonight?

0:35:27 > 0:35:30Like I said before, I hide in the boot of the car, you see.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Get a little bit claustrophobic, but I'm all right.

0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Come out the boot and give them a wave.- Everybody is saying...

0:35:36 > 0:35:40The same newspapers that are building you to the skies

0:35:40 > 0:35:43and hyping you up, are also trying to give you advice

0:35:43 > 0:35:44and saying things...

0:35:44 > 0:35:47"Will this young man be able to handle all that attention?"

0:35:47 > 0:35:49Yeah, they're building me right up.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52It's unbelievable, I can't believe what's happening.

0:35:52 > 0:35:55They are at the end of me road, outside me house with cameras

0:35:55 > 0:35:57and everything.

0:35:57 > 0:36:00It's frightening, really, because all I want to do is live me own life.

0:36:00 > 0:36:02Is there a bit of you that enjoys it? There must be.

0:36:02 > 0:36:04There's a bit of all of us that wants attention.

0:36:04 > 0:36:07When I score a hat-trick on a Saturday, I love the attention then.

0:36:07 > 0:36:08LAUGHTER

0:36:08 > 0:36:11But all the scandal and all that, I don't...

0:36:11 > 0:36:13I hate it, I can't stand it, you know.

0:36:13 > 0:36:16So, what I've done, lately... I read the papers and I think,

0:36:16 > 0:36:19oh, no, someone's wrote this and someone's wrote this,

0:36:19 > 0:36:22I had a good game, I had a bad game, he's better than me... he's better than me(!) And...

0:36:22 > 0:36:24LAUGHTER

0:36:24 > 0:36:26I just don't let it affect us, to be fair.

0:36:26 > 0:36:28And what I've started doing now, and it's worked...

0:36:28 > 0:36:30Is...I don't read the papers.

0:36:30 > 0:36:31No.

0:36:31 > 0:36:33But you know, Sir John Gielgud used to say

0:36:33 > 0:36:35he never read any critiques of his acting.

0:36:35 > 0:36:38- He never read any.- Yeah. - So that means that...

0:36:38 > 0:36:41you're not going to be affected one way or the other.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44But it's very hard to run away from something like this.

0:36:44 > 0:36:48And as I say, as somebody in the media, you have all my sympathy.

0:36:48 > 0:36:51I'm delighted that you've had such enormous success

0:36:51 > 0:36:53- and long may it continue. - Cheers.

0:36:53 > 0:36:55But it's very hard to handle it, you know,

0:36:55 > 0:36:58particularly when you're only 23.

0:36:58 > 0:37:0023, I know. Yeah, it is hard to handle it.

0:37:00 > 0:37:02Like I said before, I can't believe it.

0:37:02 > 0:37:04From a lad who's just walked out of the social club...

0:37:04 > 0:37:08Dunston Excelsior, I'll just give it a little plug, if they're watching!

0:37:08 > 0:37:09LAUGHTER Hi, everyone!

0:37:09 > 0:37:13They're over there, give them a wave. Why not, for goodness' sake?

0:37:13 > 0:37:15That's the thing - while you're enjoying it,

0:37:15 > 0:37:17and while it's happening, do try and enjoy it,

0:37:17 > 0:37:20- try and fling yourself... - It's like everything else, Terry, isn't it?

0:37:20 > 0:37:22I mean, when things go well, you love it.

0:37:22 > 0:37:25And when things get bad, you get upset about it.

0:37:25 > 0:37:26Maybe, as you've seen before, I cry, don't I?

0:37:26 > 0:37:29Yeah, but that's all right. In a funny way, as I said in the introduction,

0:37:29 > 0:37:32and as Julie Wells said in The Times this morning,

0:37:32 > 0:37:34that's the secret of,

0:37:34 > 0:37:37of how you've gone to the heart of most people in this country -

0:37:37 > 0:37:41is that you were able to combine the qualities of courage

0:37:41 > 0:37:43and patriotism...

0:37:43 > 0:37:46and at the same time not to be afraid to cry.

0:37:46 > 0:37:49Yeah, that's right. It was just something that hit us, you know.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52I was leaving the World Cup, we weren't in the final,

0:37:52 > 0:37:54and I was leaving some fantastic supporters who were there.

0:37:54 > 0:37:56And it was fantastic.

0:37:56 > 0:37:58And after the game, I got back to the dressing room...

0:37:58 > 0:38:01And everyone was given towels to dry themselves and I was given

0:38:01 > 0:38:02a couple of Pampers.

0:38:02 > 0:38:05LAUGHTER

0:38:07 > 0:38:10A couple of diapers, a couple of Pampers and a dummy.

0:38:10 > 0:38:12"Cheers, lads(!)" Brilliant.

0:38:12 > 0:38:14The only thing, the only thing for you to do...

0:38:14 > 0:38:15because it's not going to go away.

0:38:15 > 0:38:16The thing is...

0:38:16 > 0:38:18I think you have to get ready for... Is what

0:38:18 > 0:38:20they call The Tall Poppy Syndrome,

0:38:20 > 0:38:23- what the Australians call The Tall Poppy Syndrome.- What's that?

0:38:23 > 0:38:26We have a tradition in this country, certainly among the press,

0:38:26 > 0:38:30that as soon as you become enormously successful...

0:38:30 > 0:38:32there reaches a point when they decide,

0:38:32 > 0:38:35"We're going to knock him off the parapet now."

0:38:35 > 0:38:37Oh, yeah. That's what I'm waiting for. I'm trying...

0:38:37 > 0:38:41I'm working so hard to behave myself and...

0:38:41 > 0:38:43be something I'm not. And the trouble is...

0:38:43 > 0:38:46- Well, it's very easy...- ..I'm just one of the lads, really, to be fair.

0:38:46 > 0:38:48- You don't want to behave yourself? - I enjoy myself.

0:38:48 > 0:38:50Of course I don't want to behave myself!

0:38:50 > 0:38:54Nah, I just want to be one of the lads. I want to stay one of the lads,

0:38:54 > 0:38:57and they're trying to make me not to be one of the lads, and I am.

0:38:57 > 0:38:59And it's great when I go back home and I see me mates,

0:38:59 > 0:39:02and we'll have a few drinks, like you, Terry, we get drunk.

0:39:02 > 0:39:03Yeah, all the time.

0:39:03 > 0:39:05LAUGHTER

0:39:05 > 0:39:08Continuously. And I wouldn't mind, only, you're supposed to be fit.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11Tell me this - this is the thing... You didn't score on Saturday,

0:39:11 > 0:39:14- it was nil all.- Yeah, I didn't score and I'm a bad player.

0:39:14 > 0:39:16You're supposed to be tired, somebody said you were tired,

0:39:16 > 0:39:19that all the attention had got to you and it was wearing you down all ready.

0:39:19 > 0:39:22Yeah, obviously... I haven't been sleeping well, Terry.

0:39:22 > 0:39:25I haven't been sleeping that well, at all. Don't know why. I just...

0:39:25 > 0:39:28LAUGHTER I just haven't been sleeping...

0:39:28 > 0:39:30So, erm...

0:39:30 > 0:39:32Lack of sleep, doing a lot of travelling and like you say,

0:39:32 > 0:39:36- stupid things like this, coming on a show like this...- I know. - LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:39:36 > 0:39:39I don't know how you could possibly...

0:39:39 > 0:39:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:39:43 > 0:39:45You are going to get a lot of attention.

0:39:45 > 0:39:48I mean, nearly everything's going to want to carry your name now, isn't it?

0:39:48 > 0:39:51Exactly, I mean...the good thing about coming on your show...

0:39:51 > 0:39:53not being... I just give it a bit of stick,

0:39:53 > 0:39:56but the good thing is everyone can see what's actually spoke, the truth.

0:39:56 > 0:39:59You've even been linked with people that you haven't...

0:39:59 > 0:40:01- probably ever met in your life. - Yeah.

0:40:01 > 0:40:03Cos there's going to be people who say,

0:40:03 > 0:40:06"Oh, I knew Paul Gascoigne." "Oh, I went to bed with Paul Gascoigne."

0:40:06 > 0:40:08- And they'll get 50,000 quid for saying that.- Yeah.

0:40:08 > 0:40:10You'll have to accept that that's going to happen.

0:40:10 > 0:40:14That's right. I wouldn't mind if they gave me half of it, that'd be great.

0:40:14 > 0:40:15LAUGHTER

0:40:15 > 0:40:17Then I can do what I want, Terry, to be fair.

0:40:17 > 0:40:20Yeah, and of course, the other thing you're going to get flung at you

0:40:20 > 0:40:22is all the money you make.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24- And I mean, have you got good advisers?- Yeah.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Have you got people who will take care of you? You know the way you're always being compared...

0:40:28 > 0:40:31"George Best..." they say... "..look at..."

0:40:31 > 0:40:32LAUGHTER

0:40:32 > 0:40:33Yeah, that's right, I mean...

0:40:34 > 0:40:38I haven't got an agent, I don't want an agent.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40I have an accountant and a lawyer.

0:40:40 > 0:40:43Well, I don't know what advice you've got,

0:40:43 > 0:40:45but if I were you I'd make as much money as you possibly can.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48- As much as you? - No, nobody makes that.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51- If I get half as much as what you get Terry, I mean, I'll be sound. - But you see...

0:40:51 > 0:40:54LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE

0:40:54 > 0:40:55..I'm an old man.

0:40:55 > 0:40:57It's all right...

0:40:58 > 0:41:01I was penniless when I was your age. And the thing is...

0:41:01 > 0:41:04if you make... Just make as much money as you can,

0:41:04 > 0:41:07- and then you'll be able to do whatever you like after that.- Yeah.

0:41:07 > 0:41:09- Exactly.- And just keep your head down for a few years...

0:41:09 > 0:41:13- So that they can't do an axe job on you.- Exactly.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16- You're going to make a record?- Yeah.

0:41:16 > 0:41:17AUDIENCE MEMBER WHOOPS

0:41:17 > 0:41:19LAUGHTER

0:41:19 > 0:41:21- It's Gazza Rap.- Gazza Rap.- No.

0:41:21 > 0:41:22Are you a good singer? Can we hear you sing?

0:41:22 > 0:41:26No, I'm not a very good singer. You might recall Geordie Boys, like.

0:41:26 > 0:41:30It's called Geordie Boys so you wouldn't, probably, understand it, that's the good thing about it.

0:41:30 > 0:41:33In fact, I've got the lyrics upstairs like...

0:41:35 > 0:41:36- It'll be OK, hopefully.- Yeah.

0:41:36 > 0:41:41- You've got a few buttons to make me voice sound great, won't they?- Yeah. - LAUGHTER

0:41:41 > 0:41:42It will be fantastic.

0:41:42 > 0:41:46- We look forward, we look forward to you having a wonderful season. - Cheers.

0:41:46 > 0:41:48AUDIENCE MEMBER: Come on...

0:41:48 > 0:41:52- I just hope that the tabloids will be kind.- So do I.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55I hope you'll be able to have a happy and enjoyable life,

0:41:55 > 0:41:58- and enjoy your fame...- Exactly. - ..and everything that goes with it.

0:41:58 > 0:42:00No problem. And enjoy my life myself, as well.

0:42:00 > 0:42:03- I'm sure... I hope you will. - Cheers, Terry.- Paul Gascoigne...

0:42:03 > 0:42:05CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:42:15 > 0:42:18And before I fold my tent and silently steal away,

0:42:18 > 0:42:20here's another little treat from the archive,

0:42:20 > 0:42:22to leave you with.

0:42:22 > 0:42:25When the Wogan show went to three live shows a week,

0:42:25 > 0:42:27some BBC bright spark

0:42:27 > 0:42:30decided to ask the nation's youth what they thought...

0:42:30 > 0:42:32of our hero.

0:42:32 > 0:42:35I think Terry Wogan's the boringest person on the television.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38He should never be on the television.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42Because he doesn't let anybody talk and he's always got to butt in.

0:42:42 > 0:42:46I think it's very good and he's got a very good personality.

0:42:46 > 0:42:47I really enjoy it.

0:42:47 > 0:42:51I don't mind some of the stars on it, but I don't like Terry Wogan himself,

0:42:51 > 0:42:53it's a wonder he hasn't cracked the camera yet.

0:42:53 > 0:42:54I think it's good and

0:42:54 > 0:42:57I like the people on it.

0:42:57 > 0:43:00Why are they putting his series on three times a week?

0:43:00 > 0:43:03I don't think they should put in on once a week, either.

0:43:03 > 0:43:05Well, the range of guests that he has on is very good,

0:43:05 > 0:43:07because there's one for everybody, really.

0:43:07 > 0:43:12Out of all the guests he has on, one of them you've got to like, really.

0:43:12 > 0:43:16- My mum don't watch it very often. - Why?

0:43:16 > 0:43:18She's always washing up.

0:43:19 > 0:43:21Out of the mouths of babes...

0:43:21 > 0:43:24Some of them, certainly, didn't pull any punches.

0:43:24 > 0:43:27I'm supposed to have no feelings, of course.

0:43:27 > 0:43:29I'll be heading off now, in a marked manner.

0:43:29 > 0:43:31So, until next time...

0:43:31 > 0:43:33I'll bid you farewell.
