Paramilitaries here still ruling the roost. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
But should police work with community leaders | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
with paramilitary links or is time to take a harder line? | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
We have the amazing story of a woman on the road to recovery | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
We'll also be debating how old is too old for skimpy swimwear | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
and talking to the brainboxes from hit quiz show The Chase. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
And it's all in front of a live Nolan audience. | :00:25. | :00:58. | |
The blueprint for getting rid of paramilitaries once | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
Among the proposals in the independent panel report | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
is that the Executive helps former terrorists in relation to jobs, | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
financial services and travel, including visas to the USA. | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
And it says the Executive and PSNI should review how they engage | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
One of the authors of the report told me earlier today that the UVF, | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
Why is that the case 18 years on from the Good Friday Agreement | :01:30. | :01:37. | |
and why are some communities still in the grip of fear because | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
Is that the reality for us, they still rule the roost? They still | :01:42. | :01:55. | |
inflict fear? They are not frightened of anyone? It would | :01:56. | :02:07. | |
appear so. The INLA used to stand for I Never Leave Ireland Alive. | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
They clearly feel they have an influence over people. You see some | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
progress apparently being made by the police and people getting | :02:25. | :02:28. | |
arrested. You nearly always expect the news the next day that the | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
person has been released and nothing is advanced. You expect trouble all | :02:32. | :02:41. | |
cars to be burnt out and, David, how have we got to the stage where the | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
paramilitaries seem to have the upper hand? Or is that fair? That is | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
the real question 18 years after the Good Friday agreement why we haven't | :02:53. | :03:00. | |
moved, from a culture of lawfulness to a culture of lawlessness. You | :03:01. | :03:09. | |
were Justice Minister for years, let me remind you. We didn't need a | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
report to point that out so what is going on that we can't as a | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
society... That politicians can't put them where they need to be, or | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
the police? The courts can put people where they need to be. I | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
suspect it's because evidence isn't available. We are seeking to move | :03:33. | :03:39. | |
forward. We did a lot of work around organised crime which, if we can get | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
the funding for the appropriate level of campaign, we will explain | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
to people that the dodgy DVD that they think is a bargain is actually | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
funding paramilitary activity and sometimes human trafficking because | :03:55. | :03:57. | |
organised crime and the paramilitary groups run together. One of the big | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
questions I am asking you at home tonight and in the studio, I'll be | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
turning to much of a blind eye? Do we think to ourselves, there are | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
people of influence there so we will turn a blind eye to who they really | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
are because they can stop some of the troubled they strut with power | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
in their communities? They are serial killers. If this was | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
happening anywhere else they would be arrested but here it not | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
happening. I feel the police and the criminal people are afraid of them | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
and that's it. Some people might not know who you are and there is a | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
tragic story behind who you are. Maybe you want to tell them about | :04:42. | :04:48. | |
your father? My father was shot dead by dissident republicans a few weeks | :04:49. | :04:55. | |
ago. The people who are a of it having been caught and probably will | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
be. Why do you say that? It is fear, complete fear. I am Joanne. People | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
probably know us from the TV and things. It's not just one or two | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
people. It's groups working together. If the groups are going to | :05:15. | :05:25. | |
start on everyone else... Your husband was 33. Yes, we had four | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
kids. Their grief and my own grief. What happened? Well, the night | :05:35. | :05:42. | |
before it was Sean's 17th birthday and there was a call to the door and | :05:43. | :05:53. | |
they wanted in. Michael turned and asked what it was about. I got | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
behind the door and stop them from getting in because the three kids | :05:58. | :06:03. | |
were upstairs sleeping. It was a birthday so we weren't letting them | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
in and the police loved the next day. The next day, we went searching | :06:07. | :06:17. | |
for answers. He wasn't told anything. He wasn't told why they | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
were after him and what he was supposed to have done. There was no | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
reason given. We went searching for answers and people Michael thought | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
he could trust but he couldn't. They came back that afternoon and they | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
told Michael to meet them at this alleyway at ten o'clock. And in the | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
alleyway, what did they do to your father? They shot him dead. He bled | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
to death in my arms. I remember trying so hard to save him. I knew | :06:49. | :06:59. | |
what they were shouting. In northern Irish society, it is just another | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
paramilitary attack. It's in the news for a day or two and it | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
disappears but it's your dad. Do you think the police know the name of | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
the people or the person who fired the shot? No. I think they know | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
who's connected but they need that more from people. More evidence. Do | :07:24. | :07:35. | |
you think people in York community if they could help they would do | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
that. To some extent. Michael wanted to protect us also. How angry are | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
you about the attitude towards paramilitary, including the | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
dissidents? It's disgusting because I don't know how they look at | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
themselves in the mirror. If I shot somebody I would have blood on my | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
hands and I wouldn't be able to face the people I loved. That's what they | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
face every day so I'm happy I don't have to do that. Are you frightened | :08:09. | :08:15. | |
speaking at against them? Not in so many words. I'm frightened with the | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
names and stuff and you're not allowed to release any of that, | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
but... She's doing it for her daddy and we're doing it for Michael. Not | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
just Michael but everyone else as well. I come back to the first | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
question, are we in different to this now? The vast majority of us | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
will feel sorry for you and will empathise, but would we react | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
differently to a non-paramilitary style murder? Do we take it it is | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
part and parcel of our society that paramilitaries get away with this? | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
They do get away with it. They get away with taking protection money to | :08:57. | :09:04. | |
this very day. Is it all about money and that is why there are doing it? | :09:05. | :09:11. | |
By the way, the police have given us a statement tonight about this case. | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
Detective cheese -- Chief Inspector Alan | :09:18. | :09:29. | |
how the public will be scared to speak out because they have the | :09:30. | :09:36. | |
upper hand! That is why we need to tackle it at every level. Flags have | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
been going up this week and people assume it is paramilitaries. It's | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
done without community consent -- consent. That's part of the rule of | :09:47. | :09:53. | |
law. That is why we need to ensure we use the report and build on it | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
and build a culture of lawfulness and we don't tolerate that will stop | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
you look at the recommendations and you have seen a copy... The | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
recommendations are that we help some of these paramilitaries get | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
jobs and go to America! There is an issue about getting individuals away | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
and some of it may be unpalatable but is better than working with | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
organisations. Organised crime gang needs to be treated as such and the | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
full force of the law needs to be applied. But we need to ensure the | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
Housing executive district manager doesn't tolerate things for a quiet | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
life and neither does the road service engineer. We have to ensure | :10:36. | :10:38. | |
we take this report seriously from now and build a complete consensus. | :10:39. | :10:45. | |
People must have had briefings, so you tell me, what is the extent of | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
the extortion and racketeering and collection of protection money in | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
Northern Ireland by these paramilitaries? I haven't had | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
detailed briefings on that so I can't give you figures. There is | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
definitely extortion and petty crime becoming major crime, drug dealing | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
and turf wars over drugs and that is linked to organised crime. I want to | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
ask, why is it that 18 years after the Good Friday agreement has it | :11:16. | :11:21. | |
taken so long? It doesn't make sense. Are they trying to get rid of | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
them? I don't know. Why has it taken so long? They shouldn't be in the | :11:27. | :11:37. | |
communities. Personally I think there isn't enough being done and | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
there never will be. We asked the police to come here, by the way, and | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
the fact they don't even want to discuss this issue on the programme | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
of how they are policing paramilitaries. They've given a | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
statement, but it is a big conversation for them that we would | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
want to have with them. Why on earth would they not come here and what | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
would they say if they were here is that it's beyond them. That it needs | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
to be the community working with them. Put the blame on the people. I | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
don't think they do enough with any information given to the police. I | :12:17. | :12:19. | |
was born in 1988 -- 1998. OK. I would be proud of the panel's idea | :12:20. | :12:37. | |
about giving these people jobs because it is only if we can | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
encourage them to leave terrorism and show them life outside terrorism | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
that we would get more people to leave and provide a better future | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
for them and Northern Ireland ultimately. What about our lives? My | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
money can't go to work because she is left looking after four children. | :12:55. | :13:01. | |
I don't know why these people who have allsorts of mental disabilities | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
which I am sure they do, should be able to let go on the streets and | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
work with people who are saying. I don't understand. | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
I kind of agree with you. This is mentioned in the report. The police | :13:20. | :13:34. | |
contact with community leaders, some community leaders will have | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
influence with paramilitary groups, some of them will have knowledge of | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
paramilitary groups, some of them might have a deep and intimate | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
knowledge. Rather than the police sticking them in jail, the police go | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
up and ask them would they mind keeping some of their boys choir | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
some nights. It is not just the -- quiet some nights. It is not just | :13:57. | :14:03. | |
the police. It was clear that certain people were calling to exert | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
their influence as to what would not happen in terms of opening up | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
arrangements across an interface structure, which was in disagreement | :14:12. | :14:17. | |
with local people. The DOJ went to individual houses to talk to people | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
to get past those gatekeepers and that's what we need to do to stop | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
people having influence they have no right to do, to ensure the voice of | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
ordinary people comes through and not the self appointed gangsters who | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
call themselves community representatives. Some of them are | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
working tirelessly for peace and absolutely doing it for no money | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
whatsoever, trying to stop violence, and if they have influences that not | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
the way to go? Except when you talk to members of the loyalist | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
paramilitary organisations they come at the same lines about a boring | :14:57. | :15:09. | |
crime -- how they are poorer crime -- are against crime. The peace | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
process started with the assumption that you wouldn't wean people off | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
violence. We are more than 18 years on. It is not working. It started | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
off with policing predicated on gathering intelligence rather than | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
evidence so that you could manage things. Therefore there was not a | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
proper custom of gathering evidence and convicting people. Then you went | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
into the politics of cutting some slack and there was never a line | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
drawn that said that sit, game over. The peace process is over. In terms | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
of paramilitaries, the DUP don't want to talk about how they are | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
tackling it, Sinn Fein are the same. It is interesting when you look at a | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
subject like this and you say to those parties in government now, how | :16:09. | :16:15. | |
are you tackling paramilitaries and they don't have anyone who wants to | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
talk about that. About people getting killed? About businesses | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
getting extorted? And you don't think he wants to talk about that? | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
This report has about 43 recommendations. How are they going | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
to be implemented in everyday life was like and how are they going to | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
succeed? What do you think should happen? Let's focus on the issue of | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
the police liaising with community leaders. If some of those leaders | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
have links to paramilitaries, is that the right thing to do? I | :16:54. | :16:59. | |
wouldn't be too sure. What do you think? I was going to say, I was | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
going to widen it a bit. I was going to say how the PSNI has been wound | :17:09. | :17:31. | |
down and all the stations have been cut back. Major cutbacks with the | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
stations. We'll hold that point. Die here, go ahead. -- the guy here. | :17:41. | :17:49. | |
Their lives have been devastated by criminals and personally I believe | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
that though police have been pursuing the people who are laying | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
waste to these societies rather than -- should be pursuing the people | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
rather than rewarding them for being criminals. Is it strange there are | :18:07. | :18:14. | |
all these people giving statements but there is no time to send anyone | :18:15. | :18:15. | |
in? Here is another statement. The question to the police tonight | :18:16. | :18:51. | |
is shouldn't you be talking to community leaders who have | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
connection with paramilitaries? Do you think so? I actually think they | :18:55. | :19:01. | |
should be pursuing them and bringing them before courts. They should be | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
made to pay for the crimes they are committing in communities. I don't | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
believe they should be liaising with them. I will certainly give young | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
people and other option, a way out of that cycle of criminality but | :19:17. | :19:23. | |
those people committing crimes in their communities absolutely should | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
not be liaised with, they should be pursued. Do you support the police | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
liaising with them? I made it clear that we avoided as far as we could, | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
and clearly there are issues that kept coming up, but we avoided | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
liaising. Do the police have resources to go after people? No | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
doubt part of the problem in the last couple of years has been the | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
reduction of front line community policing because of budget cuts | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
imposed by the executive. We were supposed to have a funding deal. It | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
was torn up by the finance department and further cuts were | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
imposed which meant the police had bigger cuts and they had to withdraw | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
from the kind of leasing which ensures police officers are on the | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
ground in places where they are seen to be the people in charge and not | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
these self appointed gangsters. There is a challenge to get police | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
officers back in liaison with the real community. I think it might | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
have gone over the heads of some people, some of the lines in the | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
report that the UDF, UDA, INLA, they are still recruiting. We have this | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
fresh start, but they are actively recruiting new people. To do what? | :20:44. | :20:53. | |
Goodness knows. We had a system where we would allow people some | :20:54. | :20:56. | |
degree of slack up to a point and it was called the peace process. You | :20:57. | :21:03. | |
can't criticise the police for meeting with paramilitary leaders | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
when secretaries of state did so. Tony Blair did. It was in the | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
grammar of the peace process that was how it would work for a time. It | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
shouldn't be happening in 2016. You have lost your dad and husband to | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
paramilitaries. What do you think about the attitude towards | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
paramilitaries? I would like to say to the police and everybody else, | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
just everybody, what are we teaching our kids for the future? What did we | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
say when they are bullied in school? To be not stand up to the Belize and | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
try overcome our fears? I am terrified of them. They could come | :21:47. | :21:49. | |
up and shoot us any time. At the same time we have to teach our kids | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
they can't be ruled by bullies. What are the police doing? Do they not | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
have the equipment to sort the people out? Are you saying that | :21:59. | :22:05. | |
police can't help? They are incapable of helping anybody? I'm | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
not saying they are incapable. The problem is that the cutback in front | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
line ordinary community policing. I think it is more about fear. It | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
took them 30 minutes to get to Michael. I was 15 minutes into CPR | :22:27. | :22:36. | |
before they came. You think he could have been saved? And now we, no. -- | :22:37. | :22:53. | |
in our way. The back row. You said twice on the show about | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
paramilitaries recruiting. What proof is the journalist given new? | :23:00. | :23:08. | |
It was the co-author of a report. A report into paramilitaries. A | :23:09. | :23:14. | |
prominent solicitor was tasked to look at the situation. Do you not | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
think they are recruiting? What proof has he got? He has spoken to | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
the leaders. The crime hasn't stopped. If they're still | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
recruiting, why are people conforming to it? Why don't they | :23:34. | :23:40. | |
rebel? They are terrified. It is not just a question for politicians and | :23:41. | :23:49. | |
police but for all of us. In 2016, we should maybe look at the blanket | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
ban on flying flags and painting curbs. I think it is worth putting | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
it into context because a lot of these working-class areas haven't | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
seen any benefits from the Good Friday Agreement. 50-50 recruitment | :24:11. | :24:21. | |
was abandoned years ago. A lot of people are going for an organisation | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
claiming legitimacy. Whenever the police, for and a half thousand stop | :24:27. | :24:35. | |
and searches in Ardoyne. It was supposed to be a fresh start. In | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
terms of the overview, poverty, suicide and hopelessness in these | :24:43. | :24:44. | |
areas, it has to be taken into consideration. We have to look at | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
hardline areas and work after them because they have the potential to | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
be the tale that wigs the dog. It is a very brave thing to do to | :24:52. | :25:04. | |
come into night and I am sure you are still grieving. I am sorry that | :25:05. | :25:13. | |
you ask your dad, your husband. Thank you for coming in tonight. | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Next week Nolan Live is replaced by a special debate programme | :25:20. | :25:22. | |
The referendum is the big political issue everyone's talking about. | :25:23. | :25:30. | |
And decision day is just over a fortnight away. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
We will probably vote to stay in because we work for a software | :25:35. | :25:53. | |
company and most of our colleagues are from the EU countries. Alt. -- | :25:54. | :26:04. | |
out. Democracy in the EU is ridiculous. The should be changes. | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
Northern Ireland doesn't cope well with change and it might be better | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
to leave it how it is. I don't believe things will collapse. I'm | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
more inclined to go in. What we will you vote? I don't know yet. I think | :26:20. | :26:26. | |
there are pros and cons for both. I am voting to leave because I think | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
we will be better off. We are putting too much money into it so we | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
may as well get that back. I'm not sure yet. Is he not trying to sway | :26:36. | :26:46. | |
you? Yes, he is. It's not working. On the spot, I'd probably leave. Why | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
do you not know which way you are going to go? I haven't read the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
supplement. The cameraman is getting a really bad shot of the back of | :27:00. | :27:00. | |
your head! Now, my next guests | :27:01. | :27:01. | |
are stars in one of my Basically, this is a game | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
where ordinary contestants are going up against the biggest | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
minds in the country Here he comes. It is the man | :27:09. | :27:30. | |
mountain of mathematics. It is the Beast himself. It is the Governor. | :27:31. | :27:37. | |
What is one quarter of a dozen. Three. Catch-22. Saint Peter. | :27:38. | :27:50. | |
Gemini. It Ain't Half Hot, Mum. Cocky, arrogant. Those are our good | :27:51. | :28:40. | |
points. You sound like they are bad points. I'm trying to work out if | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
this is what you are like in real life or are you two big softies? | :28:45. | :28:51. | |
He's really like that in real life. I can't argue. It's our job. Our job | :28:52. | :28:56. | |
is to win and deny people money and I can't help if I get satisfaction. | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
I absolutely love you sitting this close to me because for the first | :29:03. | :29:03. | |
time in my life... APPLAUSE | :29:04. | :29:16. | |
I can advise you to watch what you are eating and cut the calories, | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
kid! Listen, skinny. It's not my fault. | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
ITV have me on a minimum weight clause because they don't wink -- | :29:27. | :29:32. | |
think I will be scary enough. For real? Yet. Every time they see me on | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
a diet they grab some pudding and put it on my plate. So it's in your | :29:38. | :29:42. | |
contract that you're not allowed to drop low 25 stones or what? Or they | :29:43. | :29:48. | |
will get upset. I do not have a clause in my contract, I'm just a | :29:49. | :29:57. | |
fat cow! I am like a big kid with this because I watch it a lot. It is | :29:58. | :30:03. | |
a class show. A brilliant show. Thank you. Are you one any type of | :30:04. | :30:10. | |
bonus scheme? I'm not telling you that extra marks come on excavation | :30:11. | :30:17. | |
mark a bonus scheme to beat the contestants? How happy do I look | :30:18. | :30:21. | |
when I win? Very happy. There you go. Answer, are you on a bonus? A | :30:22. | :30:29. | |
few years ago I was on a no-win, no fee basis. So you are not on a | :30:30. | :30:38. | |
bonus? No. I will admit it. We get the same money whether we win or | :30:39. | :30:44. | |
lose. We play for pride and have massive egos and do not want them | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
dented. But you are ruthless. Yes. If you're not on a bonus, why be so | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
ruthless? It is a matter of pride because I want to win. Any time I | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
take part in any quiz I want to win. Last night at was at the | :31:02. | :31:09. | |
presentation night of the Tame side quiz leading greater Manchester and | :31:10. | :31:14. | |
I wanted to get all the answers. There was nothing but one rather | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
plasticky cup which I didn't get to take home because the captain won | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
it. I want to win! You have to realise that and is the number two | :31:26. | :31:31. | |
Lady quiz player in the world. APPLAUSE | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
I believe she was six points behind the winner and right now she is | :31:37. | :31:44. | |
planning how to get seven points more next year. | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
Yes. I am always trying -- trying to beat the winner who is very nice. Do | :31:51. | :31:57. | |
you sit all day and all night just reading up on trivia? Wait you get | :31:58. | :32:01. | |
all that knowledge from? I am lucky. I just have a semi-eidetic memory. I | :32:02. | :32:11. | |
go around life learning things. If I go on the tube in London I clock on | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
the adverts were new pics -- books and films and it sticks. I got | :32:18. | :32:21. | |
married recently and all those hours hanging around the shops whilst my | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
beloved wife goes shopping, means I know an unholy out about ladies | :32:28. | :32:32. | |
fashion. Have you an earpiece on the show? Absolutely not. We're not | :32:33. | :32:41. | |
Pointless. Oh, sorry! Richard Osman has challenged me to it quiz and | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
said as long as we wear our same uniforms. He said, of course, that | :32:46. | :32:51. | |
means I'll have an earpiece. My point was if it is on the buzzer I'd | :32:52. | :32:56. | |
still whip him. Is it the most successful show on television? They | :32:57. | :33:04. | |
have a better PR department. I get a sense of how competitive you are. We | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
take it from our governor, Bradley Walsh. We have the best entertainer | :33:10. | :33:17. | |
in Britain right now. There are some hilarious moments in the show. | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
What 1993 film is concerned with activities around the following? | :33:23. | :33:58. | |
I thought I was quite intelligent. What is a Gobbler's Knob? | :33:59. | :34:12. | |
You Were There? Really! I would imagine it is some kind of | :34:13. | :34:25. | |
promontory, like a grassy knoll or that sort of thing. If I put some | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
questions to you about Northern Ireland, have you read anything up | :34:31. | :34:35. | |
before coming? No. Who is the manager of the Northern Ireland | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
football team? I'm trying to remember. I don't do sport. You | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
stupid woman! You stupid, stupid woman. How could you not know? I'm | :34:47. | :34:53. | |
not very good at sport, have you not noticed! Football is not my best | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
sport. After three, one, two, three. LAUGHTER here is one of my finest | :34:56. | :35:06. | |
moments on Chris show, not. -- quiz show. | :35:07. | :35:24. | |
Stephen, you will have 15 seconds to match the car to the country of | :35:25. | :35:26. | |
manufacture. It starts now. Sorry, your time is up. OK, what | :35:27. | :35:54. | |
have we got? We have got one right out of three. | :35:55. | :35:55. | |
Well done What happened to the slim athlete? | :35:56. | :36:07. | |
It's a real pleasure having you in Northern Ireland. You are fantastic | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
and the show is travelling the world, I right? Yes. There are | :36:12. | :36:18. | |
various non-English language shows in Germany, Russia, Croatia, Norway | :36:19. | :36:25. | |
and France is looking at it. Are you guys in some of the foreign | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
programmes? Mark is in the USA show and we are both on The Chase, | :36:30. | :36:38. | |
Australia. Fantastic excavation might give them | :36:39. | :36:48. | |
a round of applause. Fantastic! If you want to contact the radio | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
show during the day, here is that e-mail address:. | :36:55. | :37:19. | |
Clodagh Dunlop was left with locked-in syndrome after suffering | :37:20. | :37:41. | |
Little over a year ago, she was left unable to walk and talk, | :37:42. | :37:49. | |
and doctors told her family to fear the worst. | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
She is here tonight to share her story with her partner, Adrian. | :37:52. | :38:00. | |
Give them a round of applause, ladies and gentlemen. | :38:01. | :38:08. | |
My goodness! Hello. Hello, how are you? My eyes were fixed on that | :38:09. | :38:16. | |
photograph of you in the hospital bed. What happened and how did you | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
go from being a healthy police officer to locked in syndrome? On | :38:22. | :38:28. | |
Easter Monday the 6th of April 2015 I had a massive brain stem/ caused | :38:29. | :38:37. | |
by a weakness in an neck artery which caused the stroke. It resulted | :38:38. | :38:45. | |
in me lying in ICU for ten days and the subsequent journey that I have | :38:46. | :38:56. | |
been on. When did you first wake up? The first day I became conscious was | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
the Wednesday, two days later. I knew where I was at. I could realise | :39:04. | :39:13. | |
I was in ICU. It looks like a spaceship and I thought, Nish elite, | :39:14. | :39:22. | |
which has proved not to be too good, I thought, yes, I was right! So you | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
are conscious but you couldn't move. No. It must have been terrifying? I | :39:28. | :39:36. | |
have described it as one of the most terrifying experiences of my life. | :39:37. | :39:42. | |
At times, in hospital, I had really irrational fears. I worried that | :39:43. | :39:47. | |
because I was so honourable, I couldn't move or speak, that I would | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
be assaulted or the victim of rape, which is quite irrational but | :39:54. | :40:00. | |
because I couldn't speak or fend someone off it was terrifying. Tell | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
me of the sensation when something has happened to you and you are | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
disorientated and then you go to move, just a normal instinct of | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
moving a hand or head. And you couldn't. But this is you. Good | :40:17. | :40:31. | |
girl! You were just starting to move there. Give us a wave. Another wee | :40:32. | :40:40. | |
one. Was there a point where you thought, am I ever going to move | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
again? Know, bizarrely, on my very first day in ICU, Adrian said, are | :40:47. | :40:54. | |
you there? Blink once for yes and it was the first time in my life I had | :40:55. | :41:02. | |
to really concentrate and blink and I did a long, slow blink. He said, | :41:03. | :41:10. | |
you'll be OK. From that moment I always thought, right, I had to | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
fight this. I remember a notice saying I had locked in syndrome and | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
I remember reading really shocked and thinking and remembering Tony | :41:20. | :41:24. | |
Nicholson in England had locked in syndrome and heat campaigned for | :41:25. | :41:31. | |
assisted suicide. I thought, that couldn't be me. A general disbelief | :41:32. | :41:37. | |
and a want to break out of this body and get it moving again. And you | :41:38. | :41:46. | |
played your role of very much this journey of caring for the person you | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
love. It was a journey for you, too? Certainly. When you looked into her | :41:52. | :42:01. | |
eyes that very first day and the determination she had to blink once | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
and make sure that message was not confused, I really did know that she | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
would get out of this. It will take time, but the strength and | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
determination that we could see in her everyday would give her the | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
strength to carry on. At one stage you were told to say goodbye to her? | :42:23. | :42:30. | |
Yes, the prognosis was terrible, a brainstem stroke. Two areas of the | :42:31. | :42:33. | |
brain suffered from lack of blood flow and oxygen starvation and it | :42:34. | :42:39. | |
was undetermined as to what function she would have. When she came out | :42:40. | :42:44. | |
the next day, we really didn't know what to expect. What happened on | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
your birthday? I had one birthday in hospital six | :42:50. | :43:10. | |
weeks after my/ but my anniversary was this year and for that | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
anniversary of the stroke, Adrian and I went skydiving. Exactly. From | :43:15. | :43:20. | |
that lady that might have been trapped in her body all her life, | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
let's watch this. Let's look at this together. | :43:25. | :43:31. | |
You dreamt of skydiving when you were locked in, didn't you? I did, | :43:32. | :43:39. | |
every night. It was my escape from my daily reality of not being able | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
to breathe or move. I would dream about to skydiving, breathing in the | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
air, my limbs flapping. That day it was wonderful. I think that deserves | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
a round of applause. APPLAUSE | :43:55. | :44:06. | |
What does it do to you when you experience something like that in | :44:07. | :44:14. | |
life, as you look to the future? How does it change how you think about | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
life? It has changed me a lot. I don't like too much to the future. | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
And the immediate future I like to return -- I would like to return to | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
driving and work but in the long-term future I lived for each | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
day and I am quite aware that life can change in the blink of an eye so | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
I make sure I enjoy every day, every moment, everything life has to | :44:39. | :44:43. | |
offer. Do you think you'll ever go back into the police? Absolutely. | :44:44. | :44:51. | |
Absolutely. I realise that initially I can't return to a uniformed role, | :44:52. | :44:59. | |
I may have to resign myself to a desk job but I don't see a future | :45:00. | :45:02. | |
where I don't return to work and to policing. I absolutely love it. Have | :45:03. | :45:12. | |
you spoken to them about going back? I have been engaging with them over | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
the past year and I'm hoping that I can return at the end of September. | :45:17. | :45:25. | |
Not that far away. It is not. The only thing wrong with me as I have a | :45:26. | :45:32. | |
few mobility issues. Cognitively, I'm fine. I'm sure I can get a job | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
where I can still help people, it's what I always liked doing. Look at | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
that beautiful smile. It is a pleasure to have you both in the | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
studio, and what a journey from what might have been to you getting back | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
into that job in the police and serving the community and helping | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
all of us. Thank you so much for all that you do. | :45:58. | :46:03. | |
Now, how old is too old to be wearing skimpy swimwear? | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
Should it only be young things flashing the flesh on the beach | :46:11. | :46:13. | |
Angie Best is well known to you as George Best's ex, | :46:14. | :46:20. | |
She joins me now, as does etiquette expert William Hanson. | :46:21. | :46:38. | |
Hello. Hello, you gorgeous, svelte looking thing that you are. Last | :46:39. | :46:50. | |
time you were here, you gave me a hard time. When you get to your age, | :46:51. | :46:57. | |
do you not want to start covering it all up because things start to group | :46:58. | :47:02. | |
unless you have had work done? Well, you would know! | :47:03. | :47:11. | |
APPLAUSE What do you were on the beach? Well, | :47:12. | :47:20. | |
I go to California quite a lot and believe it or not I walk around with | :47:21. | :47:26. | |
my belly out, in my shorts. Why shouldn't girls? Because... All, be | :47:27. | :47:37. | |
quiet. Does there are not come a certain age where you stop? No? | :47:38. | :47:45. | |
There should be a certain age where you stop, to be fair. There should | :47:46. | :47:55. | |
be an age. I think we have to be a little bit... William is how a lot | :47:56. | :48:02. | |
of the BBC presenters used to speak! Welcome to the BBC! Let him speak. | :48:03. | :48:17. | |
You don't happen to work for the BBC senior management board? If I had my | :48:18. | :48:24. | |
way, BBC presenters would still speak like me. You are very svelte. | :48:25. | :48:35. | |
Thank you very much. Over the age of 50, even 45, ladies and gentlemen, | :48:36. | :48:38. | |
if they are wearing budgie smugglers, should stop. If I was in | :48:39. | :48:46. | |
charge, we would have a ban on bikinis. Why do ladies need to tan | :48:47. | :48:53. | |
that part of their body? We don't show it off at any other time than | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
on the beach. What is wrong with a swim suit? Peter Stringfellow. That | :48:59. | :49:07. | |
is horrific. Amazing what you see when you don't have your gun. As my | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
mother used to say. Do you wear that? No, I don't. I guess the | :49:13. | :49:22. | |
counterargument is who cares what age you are? Be proud of your body. | :49:23. | :49:30. | |
We all care, really. I've lost about three stone about a year ago. Up | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
until then I wasn't and I still do not, where a swim shorts. Magaluf, | :49:37. | :49:50. | |
out with the boys on holiday? A bit of disco dancing! I am going to the | :49:51. | :50:01. | |
TNT region in Italy. -- Chianti. You don't know where that is, do you? I | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
shall be wearing a tailored pair of decent length swimming shorts. You | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
say 45 is the rule. We have a surprise tonight for you, William. | :50:15. | :50:16. | |
We want your commentary on this. MUSIC: Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny | :50:17. | :50:36. | |
Bikini. This was not rehearsed. For a | :50:37. | :50:51. | |
dreadful moment, I thought that guy in the beard was David Ford. What's | :50:52. | :51:00. | |
wrong with these people? Don't let them come any closer. Would you like | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
to come down and sit on his knee? You are welcome to. Security! You | :51:07. | :51:25. | |
look amazing. What age are you? 59. Good to see you. This is fine | :51:26. | :51:32. | |
because it is covered. You are fine. You pass. What do we think? Now we | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
have seen these people on live television. Come on up here, David | :51:39. | :51:49. | |
Ford. Former Justice Minister! Would you go to the beach like that? Yes. | :51:50. | :52:04. | |
I am 70. You are 70. I guess this is what you're trying to say is a | :52:05. | :52:09. | |
statement, Angie, who cares what age you are, be proud of your body. Each | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
and every one of these look after themselves. They are in pretty good | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
shape. That is the key. Would you tell these people to cover up, | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
William? What is your name, Madame? Fiona. Fiona is lovely but I'm not | :52:25. | :52:33. | |
sure we need something so skimpy. I like to tan my skin. But when do you | :52:34. | :52:40. | |
sure that part of your body off? In the bedroom, darling. Well... Where | :52:41. | :52:52. | |
has then he disappeared to? The guy in the white shirt, what do you | :52:53. | :53:00. | |
think? If you've got it, sure it. -- flaunt it. In the front. Can I just | :53:01. | :53:10. | |
say that no matter whether you are big, small, whatever, like's too | :53:11. | :53:15. | |
short. If you want to wear a bikini, where it. We do see some people may | :53:16. | :53:21. | |
be my size and this is a different discussion, walking topless down | :53:22. | :53:34. | |
Royal Avenue, tops off. Is that, do we not care? Why not? That is a step | :53:35. | :53:44. | |
too far because that in a pair of shorts would be offensive. I think | :53:45. | :53:51. | |
that's rude. You go to the supermarket and you see men in the | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
hot weather discarding clothing left, right and centre. I don't want | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
body hair falling in the mangoes. Cover-up. Some people should be | :54:03. | :54:12. | |
shot. It's the wrong type of thing to say here. This is Northern | :54:13. | :54:22. | |
Ireland. The guys here, go ahead. Sorry, the lady here, I thought it | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
was the guy in front of you. It is unfair it is towards women because I | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
see a lot of older men in what I think is very skimpy swimwear and | :54:32. | :54:35. | |
I'm sure everybody does and Stephen if you wanted to go down to Helen 's | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
Bay tomorrow and get out your speedo, I would be telling you to | :54:40. | :54:52. | |
work it. Work what? Well, whatever you have, you work it, Stephen. It | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
is not fair that it is all towards women. If I looked like those women | :54:57. | :55:03. | |
I would be sitting here in a bikini right now. We will take some | :55:04. | :55:15. | |
comments but first some applause. I don't know why clothes should have | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
an age limit. I think it shows you still have a bit of youth and enjoy | :55:21. | :55:25. | |
what you do. I don't go on holiday to look at other people but to enjoy | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
myself. I don't know why it would bother others. You take pride in | :55:31. | :55:36. | |
your body and work hard. Would you judge people? I'm afraid I do. I | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
can't help it because when you work hard, at 603I have to, to keep in | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
shape, and when I see people who let themselves go... I may have let | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
myself go but you've got a face-lift, don't you? I know, | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
darling, I won't pick on you any more. God only gave you one body and | :56:04. | :56:09. | |
you have to respect it and look after it so it can do the best it | :56:10. | :56:14. | |
can for you. Give our guests a round of applause. Good craic. | :56:15. | :56:22. | |
Don't forget the big EU referendum debate next week. | :56:23. | :56:26. | |
