00:04:41,020 That is at a movie theatre in New Jersey where I grew up, 102 00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:43,660 and it was where I saw The Jonas Brothers Concert Movie 103 00:04:43,660 --> 00:04:47,020 when I was six years old, so it was a bit of a full-circle 104 00:04:47,020 --> 00:04:48,060 moment, if you will. 105 00:04:48,060 --> 00:04:50,700 I think that's a straight line I don't think there's any... 106 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:52,140 There is no circle in that. 107 00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:53,180 You're right. 108 00:04:53,180 --> 00:04:55,580 There is the Jonas Brothers to West Side Story

is a very small, lovely place. 138 00:05:59,060 --> 00:06:00,740 You've been to New Zealand, haven't you? 139 00:06:00,740 --> 00:06:01,780 Never. 140 00:06:01,780 --> 00:06:02,860 What the hell! 141

It's not a Commonwealth Games but, you know. 155 00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:30,260 Listen, we've got some brilliant films and shows 156 00:06:30,260 --> 00:06:31,300 to talk about tonight. 157 00:06:31,300 --> 00:06:32,980 Let's start with Kenneth Branagh's love letter 158 00:06:32,980 --> 00:06:38,060 to his childhood home town This is Belfast. 159 00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:40,700 This is Belfast. 160 00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:43,780 It is in cinemas now. 161 00:06:43,780 --> 00:06:44,860 This is... 162 00:06:44,860 --> 00:06:48,220 It is sort of the story of you as a nine-year-old boy in Belfast. 163 00:06:48,220 --> 00:06:49,260 Yeah. 164 00:06:49,260 --> 00:06:51,220 What prompted you to tell this story now? 165 00:06:51,220 --> 00:06:54,100 You know, I don't know how your lockdown was at the beginning. 166 00:06:54,100 --> 00:06:57,180 I had so many friends who got in contact who I hadn't seen 167 00:06:57,180 --> 00:07:00,540 for a while who were so desperate to make contact, and I was calling 168 00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:02,700 them, and just everything was about re-establishing human connection. 169 00:07:02,700 --> 00:07:06,380 We really felt the separation. 170 00:07:06,380 --> 00:07:09,980 It reminded me, it sent me right back to the time when I was nine 171 00:07:09,980 --> 00:07:12,620 years old in north Belfast in a wee street, mainly Protestant, 172 00:07:12,620 --> 00:07:15,260 but Catholics were there, as well, where in the course of, 173 00:07:15,260 --> 00:07:18,620 I suppose, 20 seconds when I thought I was hearing bees in the air, 174 00:07:18,620 --> 00:07:21,260 and I thought I was seeing a swarm of bees, realising 175 00:07:21,260 --> 00:07:24,380 I was at the beginning of a riot, which would passed through my 176 00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:31,100 street, and those 20 seconds would be the end of my childhood. 177 00:07:31,100 --> 00:07:34,220 When I came out of my house two hours later, the paving stones 178 00:07:34,220 --> 00:07:35,260 were lifted up from... 179 00:07:35,260 --> 00:07:37,660 The ground beneath our feet was gone, the paving stones 180 00:07:37,660 --> 00:07:40,780 were in barricades at either end of the street, and we were in 181 00:07:40,780 --> 00:07:43,180 a fortress, what had been a sort of playground before, 182 00:07:43,180 --> 00:07:44,620 it was a beautiful, harmonious neighbourhood, 183 00:07:44,620 --> 00:07:47,740 not an idyll but a home for sure, and suddenly life was different 184 00:07:47,740 --> 00:07:50,620 and the uncertainty that we all felt all the sense of being 185 00:07:50,620 --> 00:07:53,020 in the unknown, and, therefore, our need for human contact, 186 00:07:53,020 --> 00:07:57,260 and our need for laughter, and our need for songs, 187 00:07:57,260 --> 00:07:59,900 and dancing, and ad hoc parties, and all of the daftness 188 00:07:59,900 --> 00:08:02,780 we could possibly grasp but at a dark time when we didn't 189 00:08:02,780 --> 00:08:05,420 know what was going on, that's where this lockdown sent me 190 00:08:05,420 --> 00:08:12,100 back to, and I tried to write it as truthfully as I could. 191 00:08:12,100 --> 00:08:14,700 And your mother brilliantly played by Caitriona Balfe in the film, 192 00:08:14,700 --> 00:08:17,340 and Ciaran Hinds, Jamie Dornan, but we must mention Jude Hill. 193 00:08:17,340 --> 00:08:18,380 Yes. 194 00:08:18,380 --> 00:08:20,540 So, how old was he when you started filming? 195 00:08:20,540 --> 00:08:22,100 Ten years old. 196 00:08:22,100 --> 00:08:28,380 He got the part out of 300 boys who sent in self tapes. 197 00:08:28,380 --> 00:08:36,340 He did about half a dozen Zoom auditions, he eventually improvised 198 00:08:36,660 --> 00:08:38,820 in a final audition with me and Lewis McAskie, 199 00:08:38,820 --> 00:08:40,260 who played his brother in it. 200 00:08:40,260 --> 00:08:41,300 And he's amazing. 201 00:08:41,300 --> 00:08:42,500 He's just, he's a natural. 202 00:08:42,500 --> 00:08:44,180 He's got this great capacity to listen. 203 00:08:44,180 --> 00:08:45,220 He's funny. 204 00:08:45,220 --> 00:08:47,140 He loves football for sure, big Liverpool supporter. 205 00:08:47,140 --> 00:08:48,340 Very difficult to get him. 206 00:08:48,340 --> 00:08:50,100 He's supposed to be a Tottenham Hotspur supporter 207 00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:52,940 He's supposed to be a Tottenham Hotspur supporter in the film. 208 00:08:52,940 --> 00:08:56,300 We had one scene where he simply has to say, "Is there nothing this 209 00:08:56,300 --> 00:08:57,500 Tottenham right half cannot do!" 210 00:08:57,500 --> 00:08:59,900 And we go to rehearse the scene, and I said, 211 00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:02,060 "You've just stopped there, Jude, is there a problem?" 212 00:09:02,060 --> 00:09:03,740 He said, "Yeah, I can't say that" 213 00:09:03,740 --> 00:09:04,780 "But he's a Tottenham..." 214 00:09:04,780 --> 00:09:06,460 "I can't say that" I said, "Why?" 215 00:09:06,460 --> 00:09:07,900 He said, "I'm a Liverpool supporter." 216 00:09:07,900 --> 00:09:10,300 "I know you're a Liverpool supporter, but you're an actor, 217 00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,460 "and he says he's a Tottenham supporter, and you've 218 00:09:12,460 --> 00:09:13,500 "got to pretend" 219 00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:14,700 "I can't go there, Ken. 220 00:09:14,700 --> 00:09:16,140 "Don't ask me to go there." 221 00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:18,780 I said, "OK, well, maybe don't do it in the rehearsals, 222 00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:20,220 "but do it in the take?" 223 00:09:20,220 --> 00:09:22,180 "OK, let me think about it." 224 00:09:22,180 --> 00:09:25,300 And then we did one take, and we got it, and he said, 225 00:09:25,300 --> 00:09:26,740 "Is there nothing this Tottenham Hotspur 226 00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:27,780 "right half cannot do" 227 00:09:27,780 --> 00:09:30,180 I said, "Great, that's terrific, can we do one more?" 228 00:09:30,180 --> 00:09:32,340 He said, "I think you've got what you need." 229 00:09:32,340 --> 00:09:39,100 Never take a boy away from his football team. 230 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:42,420 I tell you what, let's watch a clip This is the brilliant Jude Hill 231 00:09:42,420 --> 00:09:45,420 as Buddy talking to his grandmother played by Dame Judi Dench. 232 00:09:45,420 --> 00:09:51,700 When Pop went to England to be a coal miner, did you go with him? 233 00:09:51,700 --> 00:09:56,940 Did you want to? 234 00:09:56,940 --> 00:10:00,860 Neither do I. 235 00:10:00,860 --> 00:10:05,140 Has your father said what he's doing? 236 00:10:05,140 --> 00:10:08,540 He says it has to get decided by Christmas. 237 00:10:08,540 --> 00:10:09,820 When is he coming back? 238 00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:12,900 At the weekend We are going to the pictures. 239 00:10:12,900 --> 00:10:16,460 He's taking us to to Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. 240 00:10:16,460 --> 00:10:18,380 What in the name of God is that? 241 00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:19,420 It's a flying car. 242 00:10:19,420 --> 00:10:22,060 Oh, God, I've heard it all 243 00:10:22,060 --> 00:10:25,180 It goes over a cliff, and you nearly fall out of your seat. 244 00:10:25,180 --> 00:10:26,380 Do you want to come? 245 00:10:26,380 --> 00:10:28,540 It'll be company for you until my Pop's home. 246 00:10:28,540 --> 00:10:31,900 If God had wanted me to see flying cars I would have been born 247 00:10:31,900 --> 00:10:32,940 with blinking wings. 248 00:10:32,940 --> 00:10:35,900 You love your films, don't you? 249 00:10:35,900 --> 00:10:39,900 I was a great one for the pictures when I was your age. 250 00:10:39,900 --> 00:10:43,020 I used to think you could climb right inside the screen and visit 251 00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:44,780 all those strange places you saw. 252 00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:46,940 Like that one in that film, what was that? 253 00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:50,060 Lost Horizons, did you ever see that? 254 00:10:50,060 --> 00:10:54,380 No, what was the name of the place, Granny? 255 00:10:54,380 --> 00:10:55,980 Shangri-La, that's what they called it. 256 00:10:55,980 --> 00:11:03,940 Did you ever go there? 257 00:11:04,700 --> 00:11:12,660 There were no roads to Shangri-La from our part of Belfast. 258 00:11:15,220 --> 00:11:22,700 Judi Dench, so brilliant, and you've worked with her so many times now. 259 00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,340 12 times now, yeah, 12 times, yeah. 260 00:11:24,340 --> 00:11:31,620 And she's played nearly everyone in your life. 261 00:11:31,620 --> 00:11:34,260 We've been married, I've been her son, she is my grandmother. 262 00:11:34,260 --> 00:11:36,380 It's like the incest theatre company. 263 00:11:36,380 --> 00:11:39,260 I think I have the exact same taste in films as you. 264 00:11:39,260 --> 00:11:42,380 I saw the film and it's so good but all of your favourite 265 00:11:42,380 --> 00:11:44,060 films are my favourite films, as well. 266 00:11:44,060 --> 00:11:46,220 Also, it made me weirdly nostalgic for my childhood, 267 00:11:46,220 --> 00:11:49,580 which is bizarre because I did not grow up in the 60s in Belfast, 268 00:11:49,580 --> 00:11:51,740 but it was, it was such a warm, lovely... 269 00:11:51,740 --> 00:11:54,140 I think there is something similar with 90s New Zealand 270 00:11:54,140 --> 00:11:55,180 and 60s Belfast. 271 00:11:55,180 --> 00:11:57,580 I don't know if that means we are a backward 272 00:11:57,580 --> 00:12:00,460 country or something, but it, kind of, yeah, I smelt the film. 273 00:12:00,460 --> 00:12:02,060 Do you know what I mean? 274 00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:03,260 That's a compliment. 275 00:12:03,260 --> 00:12:05,380 It was fantastic. 276 00:12:05,380 --> 00:12:10,020 And I loved the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang representation. 277 00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:13,300 One of the things that's been really lovely, actually, 278 00:12:13,300 --> 00:12:16,660 is when people see the film what it does is it takes them back 279 00:12:16,660 --> 00:12:19,060 to their own childhood, and it also takes them back 280 00:12:19,060 --> 00:12:20,500 to stories of their own family. 281 00:12:20,500 --> 00:12:22,420 Everybody, you know, in each every individual family, 282 00:12:22,420 --> 00:12:25,060 all of the decisions we make about whether we are moving 283 00:12:25,060 --> 00:12:27,700 somewhere or whether you're leaving school, or going to another school, 284 00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:30,100 they are massive in our own families, they are tiny 285 00:12:30,100 --> 00:12:32,260 to the outside world, but it is the stuff 286 00:12:32,260 --> 00:12:33,460 of our lives, isn't it? 287 00:12:33,460 --> 00:12:36,220 There is quite a lot of recognition, I think, for people. 288 00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:38,620 Talking about leaving home, Rachel, obviously New Jersey, your home, 289 00:12:38,620 --> 00:12:39,820 is that still your home? 290 00:12:39,820 --> 00:12:42,460 If you said I'm going home now, would you go back 291 00:12:42,460 --> 00:12:43,500 to your childhood bedroom? 292 00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:44,540 Yeah, I would. 293 00:12:44,540 --> 00:12:45,580 That's your house? 294 00:12:45,580 --> 00:12:50,660 Yeah, those Pepto-Bismol coloured walls. 295 00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:53,580 Yeah I've only moved for work, and so it's always been temporary 296 00:12:53,580 --> 00:12:55,980 where I lived in Chelsea, New York for a while, 297 00:12:55,980 --> 00:12:58,140 then I lived in Atlanta, Georgia for a while, 298 00:12:58,140 --> 00:13:01,740 and now I've been here for a week and a half and I will be 299 00:13:01,740 --> 00:13:03,460 here for six months. 300 00:13:03,460 --> 00:13:06,100 New Jersey, you're from New Jersey, and when you were filming 301 00:13:06,100 --> 00:13:08,260 West Side Story, New Jersey royalty came to call. 302 00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:09,300 Yes. 303 00:13:09,300 --> 00:13:11,700 He actually descended from the heavens. 304 00:13:11,700 --> 00:13:12,740 Bruce Springsteen, everyone. 305 00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:16,900 Actually? 306 00:13:16,900 --> 00:13:19,300 Yeah, Bruce Springsteen came three times and he came 307 00:13:19,300 --> 00:13:25,500 to see me sing I Feel Pretty, and he had his aviators on, 308 00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,380 and he was, like, "I've got to see the Jersey girl sing", 309 00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:29,820 and I just peed my pants. 310 00:13:29,820 --> 00:13:32,220 And there it is, yeah, I was losing my mind. 311 00:13:32,220 --> 00:13:35,580 That day I could not go up and talk to him It was him 312 00:13:35,580 --> 00:13:37,500 and Stephen Sondheim sitting next to each other. 313 00:13:37,500 --> 00:13:39,620 What? 314 00:13:39,620 --> 00:13:41,340 I was, like, why am I here? 315 00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:43,980 Was that the same day that Barack Obama came, as well? 316 00:13:43,980 --> 00:13:45,500 Barack Obama came. 317 00:13:45,500 --> 00:13:47,180 I like how he gets third billing. 318 00:13:47,180 --> 00:13:48,260 Also appearing... 319 00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:50,140 In my house it goes Bruce, Steve, Barack It was Barack Obama, 320 00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:55,500 In my house it goes Bruce, Steve, Barack. 321 00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:57,420 It was Barack Obama, Bruce Springsteen, John Williams 322 00:13:57,420 --> 00:13:58,620 all on the same day. 323 00:13:58,620 --> 00:13:59,820 It was just absolutely ridiculous. 324 00:13:59,820 --> 00:14:01,020 But how did it work? 325 00:14:01,020 --> 00:14:03,900 Did they sit and look at monitors, where they in the set? 326 00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:06,780 Did they sit and look at monitors, were they in the set? 327 00:14:06,780 --> 00:14:08,940 They watched Gustavo Dudamel, who is an incredible conductor, 328 00:14:08,940 --> 00:14:11,820 a maestro in his own right, truly, and they watched him conduct 329 00:14:11,820 --> 00:14:14,340 the mambo with the New York Philharmonic. 330 00:14:14,340 --> 00:14:17,980 I'm sitting there on the couch, and Michelle Obama's next to me, 331 00:14:17,980 --> 00:14:20,380 and Bruce Springsteen's there, and Barack Obama and John Williams 332 00:14:20,380 --> 00:14:21,860 and Stephen Spielberg. 333 00:14:21,860 --> 00:14:24,500 And John Williams is talking to Gustavo Dudamel, and John turns 334 00:14:24,500 --> 00:14:29,140 to Barack Obama and says, well, "What do you think?" 335 00:14:29,140 --> 00:14:31,580 And I am like, what does it matter what he thinks, 336 00:14:31,580 --> 00:14:33,500 he was the President of the United States! 337 00:14:33,500 --> 00:14:35,900 It was just the most ridiculous, I cannot even believe 338 00:14:35,900 --> 00:14:37,340 I was sitting in that room. 339 00:14:37,340 --> 00:14:39,860 It sounds like you are describing a really kitsch artwork 340 00:14:39,860 --> 00:14:42,380 that you see in a hotel, the most famous people ever, 341 00:14:42,380 --> 00:14:43,620 painted playing pool. 342 00:14:43,620 --> 00:14:46,820 Playing poker! 343 00:14:46,820 --> 00:14:48,580 They are the dogs playing poker. 344 00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:49,660 It was just... 345 00:14:49,660 --> 00:14:51,060 I can't even... 346 00:14:51,060 --> 00:14:54,940 Even telling the story, I, like, what was I doing? 347 00:14:54,940 --> 00:14:57,820 Also, I like that Michelle Obama only showed up in that bit! 348 00:14:57,820 --> 00:14:59,580 She wished me a happy birthday! 349 00:14:59,580 --> 00:15:02,220 She was only holding the coats. 350 00:15:02,220 --> 00:15:03,900 Who was the tallest one of them? 351 00:15:03,900 --> 00:15:05,100 It was definitely Barack Obama. 352 00:15:05,100 --> 00:15:07,340 Oh, yeah. 353 00:15:07,340 --> 00:15:09,300 I have to say, Michelle held her own. 354 00:15:09,300 --> 00:15:11,220 She was there and she was tall too. 355 00:15:11,220 --> 00:15:13,820 I used to have in my diary, a celebrity height chart. 356 00:15:13,820 --> 00:15:15,180 As a teenager. 357 00:15:15,180 --> 00:15:17,820 Where I would write down the heights of my favourite celebrities 358 00:15:17,820 --> 00:15:21,340 and the difference to my height. 359 00:15:21,340 --> 00:15:22,380 To yourself, right. 360 00:15:22,380 --> 00:15:23,420 Oh! 361 00:15:23,420 --> 00:15:24,460 Yeah. 362 00:15:24,460 --> 00:15:25,700 That was two years ago. 363 00:15:25,700 --> 00:15:28,260 And you are all going on it! 364 00:15:28,260 --> 00:15:29,700 I'm five foot two. 365 00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:32,780 Just so you know. 366 00:15:32,780 --> 00:15:34,900 And, tell me this, Kenneth Branagh, what about bringing 367 00:15:34,900 --> 00:15:35,980 the whole movie home? 368 00:15:35,980 --> 00:15:39,060 It was one thing to show it to the world, but what did 369 00:15:39,060 --> 00:15:40,100 Belfast make of Belfast? 370 00:15:40,100 --> 00:15:41,340 Oh my god. 371 00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:43,980 We were there on November the 4th at the opening night 372 00:15:43,980 --> 00:15:46,620 of the Belfast Film Festival, 1400 people in the Waterfront Hall 373 00:15:46,620 --> 00:15:51,060 in Belfast and I reckon 50% of them were Jamie Dornan's family. 374 00:15:51,060 --> 00:15:54,420 I thought we were related to most of Belfast, and I think the other 375 00:15:54,420 --> 00:15:56,340 half were Ciaran Hinds' and Jude Hill's. 376 00:15:56,340 --> 00:15:59,460 It was an amazing evening, they were on their feet at the end, 377 00:15:59,460 --> 00:16:01,140 it was absolutely amazing, I was completely 378 00:16:01,140 --> 00:16:02,300 and utterly made up. 379 00:16:02,300 --> 00:16:04,460 Vicky, you've spent a lot of time in Belfast. 380 00:16:04,460 --> 00:16:05,500 I have, yeah. 381 00:16:05,500 --> 00:16:07,420 That was where we shoot Line of Duty. 382 00:16:07,420 --> 00:16:10,540 The first series was in Birmingham and then we moved over to Belfast 383 00:16:10,540 --> 00:16:12,060 and I adore it there. 384 00:16:12,060 --> 00:16:15,660 I'm not very good at being away from home, so I have kind of made 385 00:16:15,660 --> 00:16:17,300 Belfast my second home. 386 00:16:17,300 --> 00:16:20,820 And, you know, St George's Market, Belfast Bap, the Spaniard, 387 00:16:20,820 --> 00:16:24,460 these are all my spots. 388 00:16:24,460 --> 00:16:25,780 I have adopted them. 389 00:16:25,780 --> 00:16:28,180 It is interesting saying about not wanting to leave home, 390 00:16:28,180 --> 00:16:31,060 so much of that film is about that idea of leaving home 391 00:16:31,060 --> 00:16:33,940 and deciding to leave home, so you were nine when you left, 392 00:16:33,940 --> 00:16:35,140 where did you go to? 393 00:16:35,140 --> 00:16:37,540 I went to Reading, well, you know where Reading is... 394 00:16:37,540 --> 00:16:39,300 I don't, but anyway... 395 00:16:39,300 --> 00:16:42,820 I barely know where London is! 396 00:16:42,820 --> 00:16:46,180 Well, it is a very nice part of the world and, you know, yes, 397 00:16:46,180 --> 00:16:48,580 so we ended up there, but very different, you know, 398 00:16:48,580 --> 00:16:51,220 from that massive large extended family, we became much more sort 399 00:16:51,220 --> 00:16:55,020 of an internal-looking nuclear family. 400 00:16:55,020 --> 00:16:57,900 They made a big sacrifice for us and the film is partly 401 00:16:57,900 --> 00:16:59,340 about saying thank you for that. 402 00:16:59,340 --> 00:17:02,700 I wish you continued success with it and good luck for the award season 403 00:17:02,700 --> 00:17:03,740 and all that palaver. 404 00:17:03,740 --> 00:17:05,620 Belfast, it is in cinemas now. 405 00:17:05,620 --> 00:17:07,740 Meanwhile, Vicky McClure, back where she belongs, 406 00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:11,340 kicking it in Jed Mercurio's latest drama, Trigger Point. 407 00:17:11,340 --> 00:17:15,260 It starts this Sunday at nine o'clock on ITV, 408 00:17:15,260 --> 00:17:20,060 but this is a very different type of copper. 409 00:17:20,060 --> 00:17:21,300 She is not a copper. 410 00:17:21,300 --> 00:17:22,340 At all? 411 00:17:22,340 --> 00:17:23,380 At all. 412 00:17:23,380 --> 00:17:25,540 She couldn't arrest anyone, even if she wanted to. 413 00:17:25,540 --> 00:17:26,540 Really? 414 00:17:26,540 --> 00:17:27,620 Yeah. 415 00:17:27,620 --> 00:17:30,460 She actually has to have a police officer with her at all 416 00:17:30,460 --> 00:17:32,660 times, so my number two, as they are called, 417 00:17:32,660 --> 00:17:35,780 is played by Eric Shango who is going to be a massive star, 418 00:17:35,780 --> 00:17:36,820 I can guarantee it. 419 00:17:36,820 --> 00:17:39,220 And, yeah, she is not a police officer, she is 420 00:17:39,220 --> 00:17:40,220 a bomb disposal expert. 421 00:17:40,220 --> 00:17:41,260 OK. 422 00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:42,460 And, this is your show. 423 00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:43,540 You are it. 424 00:17:43,540 --> 00:17:45,940 I mean, how much harder is it being the one, 425 00:17:45,940 --> 00:17:48,500 whereas in Line of Duty, you were one of three? 426 00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,660 Yeah, it really took me by surprise. 427 00:17:51,660 --> 00:17:54,780 I have got to say, I felt like a crewmember by the end. 428 00:17:54,780 --> 00:17:55,980 I was in every day. 429 00:17:55,980 --> 00:17:57,020 Usually... 430 00:17:57,020 --> 00:18:00,140 If there is an interrogation scene and Martin and Ady are in it, 431 00:18:00,140 --> 00:18:02,540 I am like, that is four days off for me. 432 00:18:02,540 --> 00:18:04,740 Whereas, that wasn't really the case in this show 433 00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:09,700 I was really up for it and the challenges, you know, 434 00:18:09,700 --> 00:18:12,580 that I got in there, you don't really go back into Kate's 435 00:18:12,580 --> 00:18:15,020 back story that much, whereas Lana's story is all there, 436 00:18:15,020 --> 00:18:17,300 there was so much for me to do. 437 00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:19,540 And how many women are bomb disposal experts? 438 00:18:19,540 --> 00:18:23,060 I don't know how many are bomb disposal experts in the Army, 439 00:18:23,060 --> 00:18:27,420 but in the Met, which is what this is set in, there aren't any. 440 00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:29,100 But they do exist in the Army? 441 00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:31,980 They do exist in the Army, so Lana's sort of back story 442 00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:34,860 is that she was in the Army, you know, a bomb disposal 443 00:18:34,860 --> 00:18:37,340 expert in Afghanistan, but there is not currently any 444 00:18:37,340 --> 00:18:39,900 female bomb disposal experts in the Met. 445 00:18:39,900 --> 00:18:42,780 But on set, you did have real bomb disposal people? 446 00:18:42,780 --> 00:18:44,180 We did. 447 00:18:44,180 --> 00:18:47,060 We had Joel and Paul and they were with us every day, 448 00:18:47,060 --> 00:18:48,980 checking everything, you know, and allowing the artistic 449 00:18:48,980 --> 00:18:52,540 licence, where we needed it. 450 00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:53,620 They were great. 451 00:18:53,620 --> 00:18:55,540 It was, you know, just tiny little details, 452 00:18:55,540 --> 00:18:57,900 where they went, yeah, you can take your helmet off 453 00:18:57,900 --> 00:18:59,140 and I was like, whoa! 454 00:18:59,140 --> 00:19:02,020 What do you mean, I am going to take my helmet off? 455 00:19:02,020 --> 00:19:05,380 And he was like, if a bomb goes off, that helmet is doing nothing. 456 00:19:05,380 --> 00:19:07,540 I am like, OK, fair enough, I get it. 457 00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:10,420 So, there are tiny little details and habits that we got into, 458 00:19:10,420 --> 00:19:11,460 which was, you know... 459 00:19:11,460 --> 00:19:12,460 I have a question. 460 00:19:12,460 --> 00:19:13,540 Go for it. 461 00:19:13,540 --> 00:19:15,700 Why do you wear a helmet at all then? 462 00:19:15,700 --> 00:19:17,740 LAUGHTER 463 00:19:17,740 --> 00:19:18,740 Very good question. 464 00:19:18,740 --> 00:19:20,660 Until you actually get up close and personal, 465 00:19:20,660 --> 00:19:23,540 you don't really know where the threat is or what is going 466 00:19:23,540 --> 00:19:24,740 on, so anything can happen. 467 00:19:24,740 --> 00:19:26,900 There could be acorns falling down from the trees. 468 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:29,140 LAUGHTER. 469 00:19:29,140 --> 00:19:31,420 Yeah, it is an aggressive squirrel. 470 00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:32,460 How unrealistic... 471 00:19:32,460 --> 00:19:35,180 All bomb scenes in films that you watch when you're 472 00:19:35,180 --> 00:19:38,500 a kid, it was two wires. 473 00:19:38,500 --> 00:19:43,260 Were bomb experts like, that is total crap? 474 00:19:43,260 --> 00:19:45,180 Did you have to cut the blue wire? 475 00:19:45,180 --> 00:19:48,540 There might be some wire cutting! 476 00:19:48,540 --> 00:19:50,460 We will have to watch to find out. 477 00:19:50,460 --> 00:19:52,460 Spoiler alert! 478 00:19:52,460 --> 00:19:57,700 Actually, she has got some snips, it is quite a big deal. 479 00:19:57,700 --> 00:19:58,900 We have got a clip. 480 00:19:58,900 --> 00:20:00,100 This is you as Lana. 481 00:20:00,100 --> 00:20:01,540 You'll like this, wires are involved. 482 00:20:01,540 --> 00:20:07,860 Approaching a suspicious vehicle. 483 00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:09,300 Lana. 484 00:20:09,300 --> 00:20:10,340 Lana! 485 00:20:10,340 --> 00:20:13,940 Hey! 486

490 00:20:43,980 --> 00:20:50,420 A manual check. 491 00:21:09,580 --> 00:21:13,900 APPLAUSE. 492 00:21:13,900 --> 00:21:16,860 You wanted wires! 493 00:21:18,580 --> 00:21:21,460 I love how you describe it as a suspicious vehicle and it 494 00:21:21,460 --> 00:21:23,900 looks better than any car I have ever owned! 495 00:21:23,900 --> 00:21:26,660 That is a fair ride! 496 00:21:26,660 --> 00:21:29,060 But, you know, it is not all bombs and tension, 497 00:21:29,060 --> 00:21:32,180 it is not all bombs and tension, because you did a lovely thing 498 00:21:32,180 --> 00:21:34,940 for the whole company, when you finished filming... 499 00:21:34,940 --> 00:21:38,180 So, you finished filming and, what happened then? 500 00:21:38,180 --> 00:21:40,180 I just wanted to say thank you. 501 00:21:40,180 --> 00:21:42,660 So, I just gave Greggs a call... 502 00:21:42,660 --> 00:21:46,420 LAUGHTER. 503 00:21:46,420 --> 00:21:49,300 We have a really close relationship and I thought I would get 504 00:21:49,300 --> 00:21:53,180 everyone a sausage roll. 505 00:21:53,180 --> 00:21:56,780 What I said was, it would be really nice to do something a bit quirky, 506 00:21:56,780 --> 00:21:58,220 I will leave it with you. 507 00:21:58,220 --> 00:22:00,860 To which they came back with a proposal, which I thought, 508 00:22:00,860 --> 00:22:03,260 like, that's genius, we have got to make this happen, 509 00:22:03,260 --> 00:22:06,540 so a van pulled up, a bomb disposal Greggs van. 510 00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:11,220 We have got a picture of the van. 511 00:22:11,220 --> 00:22:12,660 Oh my god! 512 00:22:12,660 --> 00:22:16,180 I have been here for a week and a half and who is Gregg? 513 00:22:16,180 --> 00:22:17,300 I don't know! 514 00:22:17,300 --> 00:22:20,540 Greggs is a bakery for drunk people, Rachel. 515 00:22:20,540 --> 00:22:23,940 We're going after the show! 516 00:22:23,940 --> 00:22:27,020 It would be my privilege to take you. 517 00:22:27,020 --> 00:22:29,860 The face of Greggs. 518 00:22:29,860 --> 00:22:32,580 Obviously that is the new logo, I am assuming. 519 00:22:32,580 --> 00:22:36,580 Some actresses get signed up by Burberry or Dior, Greggs. 520 00:22:36,580 --> 00:22:40,060 They all know what I am like. 521 00:22:40,060 --> 00:22:45,340 So, let's go through some pictures here. 522 00:22:45,340 --> 00:22:48,220 Isn't that great! 523 00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:49,260 So good, isn't it? 524 00:22:49,260 --> 00:22:50,300 The attention to detail. 525 00:22:50,300 --> 00:22:51,340 Explosive flavours inside! 526 00:22:51,340 --> 00:22:54,620 They drove that down the motorway! 527 00:22:54,620 --> 00:23:00,140 We had vegan and we had the normal ones, so everyone was happy. 528 00:23:00,140 --> 00:23:01,580 They are very good, aren't they? 529 00:23:01,580 --> 00:23:02,620 The vegan ones... 530 00:23:02,620 --> 00:23:05,740 It makes you think how little sausage must be in the meat ones, 531 00:23:05,740 --> 00:23:07,740 because they taste exactly the same. 532 00:23:07,740 --> 00:23:09,140 I am missing out! 533 00:23:09,140 --> 00:23:10,180 You are missing out. 534 00:23:10,180 --> 00:23:12,100 We will treat you to a dine-in Greggs. 535 00:23:12,100 --> 00:23:13,140 That would be great. 536 00:23:13,140 --> 00:23:14,180 A dine-in Greggs! 537 00:23:14,180 --> 00:23:15,860 You have got to pay 20p more. 538 00:23:15,860 --> 00:23:16,900 We had a delivery... 539 00:23:16,900 --> 00:23:19,060 I mean, that must be the first Greggs delivery. 540 00:23:19,060 --> 00:23:20,100 It must be, yes! 541 00:23:20,100 --> 00:23:21,140 Greggaroo! 542 00:23:21,140 --> 00:23:24,540 APPLAUSE. 543 00:23:24,540 --> 00:23:27,300 How did your thing begin with Greggs? 544 00:23:27,300 --> 00:23:30,100 Obviously, you love Greggs, but when did it become a thing? 545 00:23:30,100 --> 00:23:31,380 I can't remember, I don't know... 546 00:23:31,380 --> 00:23:32,700 You know what? 547 00:23:32,700 --> 00:23:36,100 I must have posted, many years ago, and then I remember they sent my 548 00:23:36,100 --> 00:23:40,900 agent a gift card and it was like, Greggs have sent you a gift card 549 00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:43,260 and I thought, oh my God, amazing! 550 00:23:43,260 --> 00:23:48,140 Like a black card for Nando's type of thing. 551 00:23:48,140 --> 00:23:49,820 And it was a 20 quid card. 552 00:23:49,820 --> 00:23:52,300 That will take you a long way in Greggs! 553 00:23:52,300 --> 00:23:53,500 I got it. 554 00:23:53,500 --> 00:23:56,180 It is almost all-you-can-eat. 555 00:23:56,180 --> 00:24:01,420 You could cater a wake with that! 556 00:24:01,420 --> 00:24:04,260 Now, obviously, that is a lovely thing to do at the end 557 00:24:04,260 --> 00:24:05,700 of the filming of Trigger Point. 558 00:24:05,700 --> 00:24:10,940 Ken, Belfast wrapping, what did you get everyone? 559 00:24:10,940 --> 00:24:15,660 Well, it was coffee, it was coffee, it was very, very nice coffee. 560 00:24:15,660 --> 00:24:17,740 It was Costa Coffee! 561 00:24:17,740 --> 00:24:21,420 A whole van showed up! 562 00:24:21,420 --> 00:24:24,100 It was the time of Covid, but you can get everything 563 00:24:24,100 --> 00:24:26,460 you could possibly do on the top of that froth. 564 00:24:26,460 --> 00:24:27,500 I am so disappointed. 565 00:24:27,500 --> 00:24:28,580 I turn to Rachel. 566 00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:29,620 Steven Spielberg! 567 00:24:29,620 --> 00:24:30,660 I know that name! 568 00:24:30,660 --> 00:24:32,220 It wasn't even Covid times! 569 00:24:32,220 --> 00:24:33,260 He had no excuses. 570 00:24:33,260 --> 00:24:34,620 What did you get? 571 00:24:34,620 --> 00:24:37,740 I got, well, all of the gang, so the Sharks and the Jets, 572 00:24:37,740 --> 00:24:40,140 the Sharks got varsity jackets with the big red sleeves 573 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:43,020 and their character name on it and the Sharks on the back 574 00:24:43,020 --> 00:24:45,660 and the Jets got blue sleeves, the Jets on the back. 575 00:24:45,660 --> 00:24:49,260 Tony Kushner gave us these long-sleeved black T-shirts that had 576 00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:54,780 the famous whistle that the Jets do and the sheet music written 577 00:24:54,780 --> 00:24:58,940 by Leonard Bernstein on a shirt, which was really beautiful. 578 00:24:58,940 --> 00:25:01,620 That started weak, but it ended strong. 579 00:25:01,620 --> 00:25:04,700 I was like, a T-shirt, but actually that was quite cool. 580 00:25:04,700 --> 00:25:07,580 And then also we got T-shirts of Steven's famous movies, 581 00:25:07,580 --> 00:25:11,260 but with a West Side Story twist, so we have the Jaws poster, 582 00:25:11,260 --> 00:25:14,980 but it says Sharks instead. 583 00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:20,020 And then Bruce the shark is holding a Puerto Rican flag in his teeth. 584 00:25:20,020 --> 00:25:24,660 And then the Jets also did the same thing, but it is J ET S , 585 00:25:24,660 --> 00:25:30,220 so we got T-shirts with the logos on it, it was incredible. 586 00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:33,660 Coffee, Ken, coffee? 587 00:25:33,660 --> 00:25:36,580 I can see that it is making the coffee look a bit 588 00:25:36,580 --> 00:25:38,540 rough at the moment. 589 00:25:38,540 --> 00:25:41,140 All I can say is, low budget film, Graham. 590 00:25:41,140 --> 00:25:43,300 But I get it, I bring your Lordship's attention 591 00:25:43,300 --> 00:25:47,060 back to the froth, many, many interesting designs. 592 00:25:47,060 --> 00:25:48,460 Oh, yes. 593 00:25:48,460 --> 00:25:49,660 Your own stencil and everything! 594 00:25:49,660 --> 00:25:54,540 APPLAUSE. 595 00:25:54,540 --> 00:25:56,300 Very good. 596 00:25:56,300 --> 00:25:58,700 Listen, a lot of buzz about Rachel Zegler's first screen 597 00:25:58,700 --> 00:26:01,940 performance and what a way to start, playing Maria in the new Spielberg 598 00:26:01,940 --> 00:26:04,860 adaptation of West Side Story. 599 00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:06,500 It is in cinemas now. 600 00:26:06,500 --> 00:26:08,780 Obviously... 601 00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:10,420 Sorry, just my face. 602 00:26:10,420 --> 00:26:12,420 It is weird, still. 603 00:26:12,420 --> 00:26:14,820 I have seen it once and I am like, ew! 604 00:26:14,820 --> 00:26:17,700 So, 1961 was the first version and people might have missed it. 605 00:26:17,700 --> 00:26:20,820 LAUGHTER. 606 00:26:20,820 --> 00:26:24,260 If people don't know, what is the story, who is Maria? 607 00:26:24,260 --> 00:26:26,940 Maria is an 18-year-old migrant girl from Puerto Rico, 608 00:26:26,940 --> 00:26:29,700 she has been in New York City for about four months 609 00:26:29,700 --> 00:26:34,660 with her brother, Bernardo and his girlfriend Anita 610 00:26:34,660 --> 00:26:37,300 and her first real social gathering, her first time being part 611 00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:42,580 of the crowd in New York is this dance at the gym and she meets 612 00:26:42,580 --> 00:26:47,860 a boy, who is American and his name is Tony and she just instantly falls 613 00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:52,260 in love with him, because he seems to be a better option than Chino, 614 00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:56,580 who her brother really wants her to date and get to know, 615 00:26:56,580 --> 00:27:01,140 because he is very smart and he is going to make money 616 00:27:01,140 --> 00:27:03,500 and he is Puerto Rican and it is very important, 617 00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,340 so hilarity ensues. 618 00:27:06,340 --> 00:27:08,340 There is a lot of death. 619 00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:10,420 A lot of violence. 620 00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:12,820 I mean, it is a beautiful script by Tony Kushner, 621 00:27:12,820 --> 00:27:16,620 obviously just the incredible original musical, 1957, 622 00:27:16,620 --> 00:27:19,260 inspired us to make this version and obviously it pays homage 623 00:27:19,260 --> 00:27:24,100 to the 1961 Bob Wise film, because that was just a piece 624 00:27:24,100 --> 00:27:26,540 of truly cinematic history. 625 00:27:26,540 --> 00:27:29,180 All right, I tell you what, let us watch a clip 626 00:27:29,180 --> 00:27:31,460 This is you as Maria, singing Tonight with Tony, 627 00:27:31,460 --> 00:27:36,300 played by Ansel Elgort. 628 00:27:36,300 --> 00:27:38,300 # Tonight, tonight. 629 00:27:38,300 --> 00:27:40,900 # It all began tonight. 630 00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:47,940 # I saw you and the world went away. 631 00:27:47,940 --> 00:27:50,100 # Tonight, tonight. 632 00:27:50,100 --> 00:27:52,940 # There's only you tonight. 633 00:27:52,940 --> 00:27:55,580 # What you are, what you do. 634 00:27:55,580 --> 00:27:59,220 # What you say. 635 00:27:59,220 --> 00:28:03,300 # Today, all day, I had the feeling. 636 00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:06,860 # A miracle would happen. 637 00:28:06,860 --> 00:28:10,180 # I know now I was right. 638 00:28:10,180 --> 00:28:13,700 # For here you are. 639 00:28:13,700 --> 00:28:19,740 # And what was just a world is a star. 640 00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:22,700 # Tonight... 641 00:28:24,420 --> 00:28:27,980 CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. 642 00:28:27,980 --> 00:28:35,940 Beautiful. 643 00:28:36,300 --> 00:28:39,180 I just want to quickly touch on this, you getting this part 644 00:28:39,180 --> 00:28:42,780 was one of those kind of Hollywood fairy things. 645 00:28:42,780 --> 00:28:45,900 So, take us back, I think you were 16, you were in high 646 00:28:45,900 --> 00:28:48,540 school, what happened? 647 00:28:48,540 --> 00:28:50,620 What happened? 648 00:28:50,620 --> 00:28:53,260 Literally, though, I am sitting here right now and I am 649 00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:54,300 like, what happened? 650 00:28:54,300 --> 00:28:57,740 No, I was 16 years old, I got sent a tweet from Cindy Tolan, 651 00:28:57,740 --> 00:29:01,500 our incredible casting director, she was looking for four people, 652 00:29:01,500 --> 00:29:04,740 she was looking for Maria, Anita, Bernardo and Tony. 653 00:29:04,740 --> 00:29:09,140 She was looking for Latinas aged 15-25 and I was like, that's me! 654 00:29:09,140 --> 00:29:11,540 But my friend McKenna sent it to me and said, 655 00:29:11,540 --> 00:29:14,940 thank me when you're famous and I laughed my ass off at that, 656 00:29:14,940 --> 00:29:18,060 but then I thought, I just played the role on stage, 657 00:29:18,060 --> 00:29:21,580 so maybe, maybe, you know... 658 00:29:21,580 --> 00:29:24,220 I was one out of 30,000 people who auditioned for it 659 00:29:24,220 --> 00:29:27,180 and I auditioned for a year. 660 00:29:29,820 --> 00:29:32,580 You auditioned for a year! 661 00:29:32,580 --> 00:29:33,620 There were nine calls. 662 00:29:33,620 --> 00:29:34,820 No job is worth that. 663 00:29:34,820 --> 00:29:35,860 All right? 664 00:29:35,860 --> 00:29:36,900 LAUGHTER 665 00:29:36,900 --> 00:29:38,980 No job is worth it, this one was. 666 00:29:38,980 --> 00:29:42,860 And it was nine times and I don't think I met Steven until six 667 00:29:42,860 --> 00:29:46,220 months into the process and then I have six months more to go, there 668 00:29:46,220 --> 00:29:48,140 was a screen test, chemistry test and more 669 00:29:48,140 --> 00:29:49,580 and more and then there was 670 00:29:49,580 --> 00:29:53,180 like a period of time with silence where I was like, I didn't get that 671 00:29:53,180 --> 00:29:56,300 shit and I started moving on to other things and they called me, 672 00:29:56,300 --> 00:29:58,460 kind of late December of 2018 and they said, 673 00:29:58,460 --> 00:30:00,020 we want you to come in 674 00:30:00,020 --> 00:30:02,900 one last time and when I got it, I screamed, Holy shit, 675 00:30:02,900 --> 00:30:05,540 really loud and then I just started crying, 676 00:30:05,540 --> 00:30:08,940 saying this has been the longest year of my life. 677 00:30:08,940 --> 00:30:12,060 To this day, I mean one out of 30,000, you say what are 678 00:30:12,060 --> 00:30:14,220 the odds and, you say, one out of 30,000. 679 00:30:14,220 --> 00:30:17,340 I love that when you get the part, you then ask Steven Spielberg 680 00:30:17,340 --> 00:30:19,380 if it is OK to do something. 681 00:30:19,380 --> 00:30:20,420 I asked Steven Spielberg... 682 00:30:20,420 --> 00:30:23,060 If I could still do my senior year musical, which was 683 00:30:23,060 --> 00:30:27,380 Shrek the Musical. 684 00:30:27,380 --> 00:30:28,420 You laugh. 685 00:30:28,420 --> 00:30:30,860 Princess Fiona, Princess Fiona. 686 00:30:30,860 --> 00:30:33,380 Princess Fiona over here, it is a fantastic musical. 687 00:30:33,380 --> 00:30:37,060 Jeanine Tesori, who actually worked on West Side Story 688 00:30:37,060 --> 00:30:41,340 composed music for Shrek, but Steven looked at me, I produced the 689 00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:44,700 original Shrek, of course you can do Shrek, and I ended up doing it, 690 00:30:44,700 --> 00:30:46,140 getting painted green, I looked like 691 00:30:46,140 --> 00:30:48,780 I had jaundice for three weeks after I did the show. 692 00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:51,180 We have got a picture of you as Princess Fiona. 693 00:30:51,180 --> 00:30:55,500 There you are. 694 00:30:55,500 --> 00:30:59,620 That same girl, that same girl, went on to sing I Feel 695 00:30:59,620 --> 00:31:02,860 Pretty, with her whole chest on a movie screen. 696 00:31:02,860 --> 00:31:05,260 Ken, did you do musicals at school? 697 00:31:05,260 --> 00:31:12,580 I did enough to know how hard it was, so not very 698 00:31:12,580 --> 00:31:13,620 often. 699 00:31:13,620 --> 00:31:15,540 But, you have directed a musical or two? 700 00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:17,940 No, I did direct an opera, actually, Mozart's The Magic 701 00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:20,580 Flute and directed Love's Labours Lost enough to know, so a 702 00:31:20,580 --> 00:31:22,860 Shakespeare musical, so a song from the classic age 703 00:31:22,860 --> 00:31:26,340 of the American song book, enough to know and recognise 704 00:31:26,340 --> 00:31:29,700 myself in other actors who would come in and you would say, can you 705 00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:30,740 sing and dance? 706 00:31:30,740 --> 00:31:31,780 Oh, yes. 707 00:31:31,780 --> 00:31:34,180 It is just like the horse riding story, do you 708 00:31:34,180 --> 00:31:35,220 ride a horse? 709 00:31:35,220 --> 00:31:37,900 Oh yeah, I was born in the saddle, absolutely, and then 710 00:31:37,900 --> 00:31:40,740 they leave the room and they go and book the horse riding 711 00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:42,900 lessons or, in this case, the cure-all is just, 712 00:31:42,900 --> 00:31:45,060 saying, I move, I am a really good mover. 713 00:31:45,060 --> 00:31:46,140 That's me! 714 00:31:46,140 --> 00:31:47,140 A really good mover. 715 00:31:47,140 --> 00:31:48,620 But you can sing and dance? 716 00:31:48,620 --> 00:31:49,780 Well, I move a lot. 717 00:31:49,780 --> 00:31:52,700 It's really based on movement. 718 00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:54,860 My life is dancing away, but it is more 719 00:31:54,860 --> 00:32:00,180 movement. 720 00:32:00,180 --> 00:32:02,100 So, you can't sing or dance? 721 00:32:02,100 --> 00:32:03,300 Not in the conventional sense. 722 00:32:03,300 --> 00:32:05,460 But again, look at me moving and I think 723 00:32:05,460 --> 00:32:07,620 you'll find I compensate in a very special way. 724 00:32:07,620 --> 00:32:08,660 No is the answer. 725 00:32:08,660 --> 00:32:09,860 Vicky McClure, you do dance! 726 00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:11,780 I do dance, I just love to dance. 727 00:32:11,780 --> 00:32:12,820 Yeah. 728 00:32:12,820 --> 00:32:14,260 You are classically trained, aren't you? 729 00:32:14,260 --> 00:32:15,300 I did. 730 00:32:15,300 --> 00:32:18,660 I trained when I was younger and then I stopped when I was about 731 00:32:18,660 --> 00:32:19,700 19, I think. 732 00:32:19,700 --> 00:32:22,340 I think we have got a picture of you doing ballet. 733 00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:24,020 Aw! 734 00:32:24,020 --> 00:32:25,260 She has had a fall! 735 00:32:25,260 --> 00:32:28,900 LAUGHTER. 736 00:32:28,900 --> 00:32:30,700 I would now! 737 00:32:30,700 --> 00:32:33,340 How long does it take to get those sort of hand 738 00:32:33,340 --> 00:32:34,380 poses? 739 00:32:34,380 --> 00:32:35,420 Just nailing that. 740 00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:36,460 Oh, darling, I mean... 741 00:32:36,460 --> 00:32:37,500 Oh, look at that! 742 00:32:37,500 --> 00:32:38,540 You never lose it. 743 00:32:38,540 --> 00:32:40,340 Why did you stop? 744 00:32:40,340 --> 00:32:41,780 Did you get too tall or... 745 00:32:41,780 --> 00:32:43,700 No, I stopped because I was acting and 746 00:32:43,700 --> 00:32:46,780 that just kind of took priority. 747 00:32:46,780 --> 00:32:49,140 I think, I mean, you are incredible, what I have 748 00:32:49,140 --> 00:32:51,860 just seen is unreal, but 749 00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:55,700 to do both, like to do the dancing and the acting, is a lot and, you 750 00:32:55,700 --> 00:32:58,340 know, I was just doing a normal job at the time, 751 00:32:58,340 --> 00:32:59,540 could not do it all. 752 00:32:59,540 --> 00:33:01,460 You become a hermit, and that is life. 753 00:33:01,460 --> 00:33:04,220 You have to protect it so hard. 754 00:33:04,220 --> 00:33:07,340 I just remember, I cut out caffeine, I cut out dairy, I walked 755 00:33:07,340 --> 00:33:10,220 around with a scarf in the middle of a New York summer, 756 00:33:10,220 --> 00:33:11,900 because you just want to protect yourself. 757 00:33:11,900 --> 00:33:14,060 I am not a dancer, I do not know... 758 00:33:14,060 --> 00:33:15,260 I am not a singer. 759 00:33:15,260 --> 00:33:16,300 There we go. 760 00:33:16,300 --> 00:33:19,260 Together, they were useless. 761 00:33:19,260 --> 00:33:21,460 It is hard to keep up both. 762 00:33:21,460 --> 00:33:24,340 Absolutely. 763 00:33:24,340 --> 00:33:25,420 I saw her twice. 764 00:33:25,420 --> 00:33:26,460 I went alone. 765 00:33:26,460 --> 00:33:28,380 I cried my eyes out. 766 00:33:28,380 --> 00:33:29,500 No! 767 00:33:29,500 --> 00:33:31,180 I am a freak. 768 00:33:31,180 --> 00:33:34,060 Also, because you have to wear masks in the cinema and it 769 00:33:34,060 --> 00:33:36,220 is great, because it mops the tears and also 770 00:33:36,220 --> 00:33:37,420 you can sing behind the 771 00:33:37,420 --> 00:33:38,460 mask. 772 00:33:38,460 --> 00:33:39,900 I was singing the entire time. 773 00:33:39,900 --> 00:33:40,940 I lost my mind. 774 00:33:40,940 --> 00:33:41,980 Thank you. 775 00:33:41,980 --> 00:33:43,660 I have seen it nine times now. 776 00:33:43,660 --> 00:33:44,700 Wow! 777 00:33:44,700 --> 00:33:46,100 That is not enough! 778 00:33:46,100 --> 00:33:47,780 I've seen it twice! 779 00:33:47,780 --> 00:33:50,380 It's enough for me. 780 00:33:50,380 --> 00:33:54,500 I have a really hard time watching myself and listening 781 00:33:54,500 --> 00:33:58,340 to myself, but I have seen it nine times now and every time, I am just 782 00:33:58,340 --> 00:33:59,780 very proud of what we did. 783 00:33:59,780 --> 00:34:01,700 Listen, West Side Story is in cinemas now. 784 00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:09,660 Yes! 785 00:34:12,380 --> 00:34:14,980 Meanwhile, Rose Matafeo returns with a second series of hit rom-com, 786 00:34:14,980 --> 00:34:17,380 Starstruck, it starts on the relaunched BBC Three channel from 787 00:34:17,380 --> 00:34:20,740 the 7th of February and then the box set will be available on iPlayer. 788 00:34:20,740 --> 00:34:23,380 So, you know I am a big fan of this, I 789 00:34:23,380 --> 00:34:24,420 loved the first season. 790 00:34:24,420 --> 00:34:25,860 Oh, that's nice, you watched it! 791 00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:26,900 Yes! 792 00:34:26,900 --> 00:34:27,940 You know I did! 793 00:34:27,940 --> 00:34:29,020 That is crazy. 794 00:34:29,020 --> 00:34:31,900 So, I know it and love it, so if people don't know 795 00:34:31,900 --> 00:34:35,540 it and don't love it yet, what's it about and where do you find your 796 00:34:35,540 --> 00:34:37,140 character at the start of season two? 797 00:34:37,140 --> 00:34:41,100 So, Starstruck, series one is about a woman who is remarkably 798 00:34:41,100 --> 00:34:44,700 close to me, a New Zealander who is living in London, who has a one 799 00:34:44,700 --> 00:34:49,380 night stand with someone on New Year's Eve, who then ends up, 800 00:34:49,380 --> 00:34:51,780 it turns out to be a very, very famous man. 801 00:34:51,780 --> 00:34:58,460 Craziness ensues. 802 00:34:58,460 --> 00:35:00,860 It is a rom-com, it is just a rom-com, basically. 803 00:35:00,860 --> 00:35:03,740 It is like a series of missed connections and two people who 804 00:35:03,740 --> 00:35:07,100 are trying to fall in love with each other and can't and the second 805 00:35:07,100 --> 00:35:11,300 series, the first series ends on kind of, 806 00:35:11,300 --> 00:35:15,940 you know, beautiful, like 807 00:35:15,940 --> 00:35:17,860 rom-com, all rom-coms end with like a punch 808 00:35:17,860 --> 00:35:18,940 in the air, freeze-frame. 809 00:35:18,940 --> 00:35:22,140 And then I was, like, interested in the second series 810 00:35:22,140 --> 00:35:24,540 of what happens directly after that, because there 811 00:35:24,540 --> 00:35:27,660 is a total fallout from the idyllic rom-com ending and usually it is 812 00:35:27,660 --> 00:35:30,300 hell, so that is where those characters find themselves in the 813 00:35:30,300 --> 00:35:35,780 second series. 814 00:35:35,780 --> 00:35:38,140 Tell you what, let's watch a clip from season two 815 00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:39,180 of Starstruck. 816 00:35:39,180 --> 00:35:43,180 This is you and Tom and it's not going so well. 817 00:35:43,180 --> 00:35:44,740 No. 818 00:35:44,740 --> 00:35:45,940 It's not a big deal. 819 00:35:45,940 --> 00:35:47,060 Just forget it. 820 00:35:47,060 --> 00:35:49,460 It is a big deal, though, because it is a 821 00:35:49,460 --> 00:35:50,660 lot of money to me. 822 00:35:50,660 --> 00:35:53,300 Well, do you want me to just give you the money, 823 00:35:53,300 --> 00:35:54,340 then? 824 00:35:54,340 --> 00:35:55,820 No, I don't want your money! 825 00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:56,820 Sorry. 826 00:35:56,820 --> 00:35:57,860 Richie Rich! 827 00:35:57,860 --> 00:35:59,540 That was a stupid thing to say. 828 00:35:59,540 --> 00:36:00,740 What are you talking about? 829 00:36:00,740 --> 00:36:01,780 It is disgusting. 830 00:36:01,780 --> 00:36:04,940 Look, OK, game over, great, I would say that 831 00:36:04,940 --> 00:36:07,820 is my worst game ever, so thank you, thank you for that. 832 00:36:07,820 --> 00:36:09,740 And thank you for your generous, generous offer. 833 00:36:09,740 --> 00:36:11,660 It was supposed to be a nice thing. 834 00:36:11,660 --> 00:36:14,060 I spent literally the whole day trying to make you 835 00:36:14,060 --> 00:36:15,100 feel OK. 836 00:36:15,100 --> 00:36:16,300 I shouldn't even be here! 837 00:36:16,300 --> 00:36:21,780 I am supposed to be in Ireland right now. 838 00:36:21,780 --> 00:36:23,700 We're all supposed to bloody be somewhere, mate! 839 00:36:23,700 --> 00:36:27,060 Look, I am going to go to Magic Mike Live and I don't think 840 00:36:27,060 --> 00:36:28,060 you should come. 841 00:36:28,060 --> 00:36:29,540 Well, I didn't want to come. 842 00:36:29,540 --> 00:36:30,980 Well, you literally have no taste. 843 00:36:30,980 --> 00:36:32,020 Fine. 844 00:36:32,020 --> 00:36:33,060 Fine. 845 00:36:33,060 --> 00:36:35,340 LAUGHTER. 846 00:36:35,340 --> 00:36:36,900 Yeah. 847 00:36:36,900 --> 00:36:39,780 You started out as a stand-up and had great success as a 848 00:36:39,780 --> 00:36:42,180 stand-up, but presumably when you were very young, I mean, 849 00:36:42,180 --> 00:36:44,580 you had no other option, it was all about your 850 00:36:44,580 --> 00:36:45,620 family. 851 00:36:45,620 --> 00:36:48,740 I was so young when I started, I had no life experience to 852 00:36:48,740 --> 00:36:51,620 base any of my observational material on, so it was mainly about 853 00:36:51,620 --> 00:36:52,660 my family. 854 00:36:52,660 --> 00:36:56,460 Yeah, I had a lot of jokes about my nan, a lot of jokes... 855 00:36:56,460 --> 00:36:59,300 I had a weird upbringing and I didn't really realise that until 856 00:36:59,300 --> 00:37:02,660 after I talked about it on stage and then people were, like, I don't 857 00:37:02,660 --> 00:37:04,180 relate to that! 858 00:37:04,180 --> 00:37:09,060 Talk to us about your granny's parrot. 859 00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:12,380 Oh, yeah! 860 00:37:12,380 --> 00:37:18,620 I did a routine about my Nan's bird, Caesar, which was wonderful. 861 00:37:18,620 --> 00:37:20,780 You know when your Nan's bird, your budgie is 862 00:37:20,780 --> 00:37:22,220 dying and they wrap it in 863 00:37:22,220 --> 00:37:24,780 a towel and they make all the family visit 864 00:37:24,780 --> 00:37:26,900 it and say goodbye to it before it dies? 865 00:37:26,900 --> 00:37:28,100 And there was just silence. 866 00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:29,140 Yeah. 867 00:37:29,140 --> 00:37:32,220 Yeah. 868 00:37:32,220 --> 00:37:34,820 It was like a little Elvis, in a little towel, it 869 00:37:34,820 --> 00:37:36,780 was a dying bird. 870 00:37:36,780 --> 00:37:39,180 I was like, that's not relatable to any of you? 871 00:37:39,180 --> 00:37:42,060 The thing is, when you base it on your 872 00:37:42,060 --> 00:37:45,420 family, they come to your shows in New Zealand and then my Nan would 873 00:37:45,420 --> 00:37:47,300 start heckling me. 874 00:37:47,300 --> 00:37:50,500 I once did a joke, ripping my Nan apart, about 875 00:37:50,500 --> 00:37:54,740 how she would pronounce muesli as moo-seli. 876 00:37:54,740 --> 00:37:57,540 Moo-seli, and she is the nicest person ever, that she saw 877 00:37:57,540 --> 00:38:00,940 that joke, came back to the show the next day, 878 00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:02,380 and then when I did that 879 00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:05,740 joke, from the back of the room, she went, next time I'll make you 880 00:38:05,740 --> 00:38:08,820 something different, then! 881 00:38:08,820 --> 00:38:10,580 She slammed me! 882 00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:13,460 That is the most polite heckle of all time! 883 00:38:13,460 --> 00:38:17,660 Because your grandmother, she did come to 884 00:38:17,660 --> 00:38:20,620 Britain, she saw you on stage. 885 00:38:20,620 --> 00:38:23,340 She did, eventually. 886 00:38:23,340 --> 00:38:26,100 She was really sort of built into the fabric of Belfast, 887 00:38:26,100 --> 00:38:29,940 but we got her out to England once and she laughed at the idea of me 888 00:38:29,940 --> 00:38:30,980 being an actor. 889 00:38:30,980 --> 00:38:32,020 Many people did. 890 00:38:32,020 --> 00:38:35,860 But, she was baffled by it, so we took her to see me in a play 891 00:38:35,860 --> 00:38:38,540 and she was with my parents. 892 00:38:38,540 --> 00:38:46,300 I was playing St Francis of Assisi, a nice Protestant 893 00:38:46,300 --> 00:38:50,100 lad, and we put her in the front row and we gave her the little opera 894 00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:51,540 glasses, you know, because her eyesight 895 00:38:51,540 --> 00:38:52,980 was not so good and the 896 00:38:52,980 --> 00:38:55,540 only problem was, that in playing Francis, 897 00:38:55,540 --> 00:38:57,380 who was an ordinary man at 898 00:38:57,380 --> 00:39:00,980 the beginning of the play, I find God and in the way of things, when 899 00:39:00,980 --> 00:39:05,300 I find God, I have to be born again and when I am born again, I have to 900 00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:06,340 be born naked. 901 00:39:06,340 --> 00:39:09,700 So, I have got to take my kit off, in front of my granny. 902 00:39:09,700 --> 00:39:13,060 She is on the front row, she has got the opera glasses and I 903 00:39:13,060 --> 00:39:14,100 think, oh, bugger this! 904 00:39:14,100 --> 00:39:15,140 Bugger! 905 00:39:15,140 --> 00:39:17,060 Just go for it, just go for it! 906 00:39:17,060 --> 00:39:19,700 So, I get to the end of the first half, walked 907 00:39:19,700 --> 00:39:22,820 down and think I can do this and I go, I get ready 908 00:39:22,820 --> 00:39:25,220 for the big first act finish, father, father, tis I, 909 00:39:25,220 --> 00:39:26,260 I am born again! 910 00:39:26,260 --> 00:39:29,140 I thought, just go for it, I felt like Danny Dyer on 911 00:39:29,140 --> 00:39:30,180 The Wall! 912 00:39:30,180 --> 00:39:31,860 Drop 'em! 913 00:39:31,860 --> 00:39:35,420 It was block and tackle going, crown jewels in 914 00:39:35,420 --> 00:39:38,180 the wind, but I have got them, total silence, there listening, 915 00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:40,340 you know, you could hear a pin drop, absolute 916 00:39:40,340 --> 00:39:42,500 rapture at the sight of great acting and then 917 00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:44,380 I hear from the back of the 918 00:39:44,380 --> 00:39:50,540 auditorium, a voice saying, I have seen more meat on a dirty fork! 919 00:39:50,540 --> 00:39:53,780 No way! 920 00:39:53,780 --> 00:39:55,140 Not very helpful! 921 00:39:55,140 --> 00:39:57,300 And then my granny, she stands up, she turns 922 00:39:57,300 --> 00:39:59,940 around, she holds up the opera glasses and says, use your 923 00:39:59,940 --> 00:40:04,100 binoculars, it looks like a bloody hot dog! 924 00:40:04,100 --> 00:40:06,180 So... 925 00:40:06,180 --> 00:40:13,180 She was always protecting me. 926 00:40:13,180 --> 00:40:16,460 Right, it is time for music, this singer songwriter has 927 00:40:16,460 --> 00:40:19,820 sold over 6 million albums, had two UK number ones and won four BRIT 928 00:40:19,820 --> 00:40:21,980 Awards and is one of our favourite singing guests. 929 00:40:21,980 --> 00:40:29,940 Here, performing Brighter Day, it is Emeli Sande! 930
