1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:03,000
Tonight, tonight,
won't be just any night.
2
00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:04,000
So, what are we waiting for?
3
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:06,000
Let's start the show.
4
00:00:23,300 --> 00:00:25,940
Hello, good evening,
you're all so welcome to the show.
5
00:00:25,940 --> 00:00:29,140
Hey, we're all in a happy mood
here because good news,
6
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:34,300
Plan B restrictions will be lifted
on the 26th of January!
7
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:35,340
Hurray!
8
00:00:35,340 --> 00:00:38,740
Oh, talking of things that will be
gone by the end of the month.
9
00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:41,860
Showing off his new pants there.
10
00:00:41,860 --> 00:00:46,460
Apparently his old pair caught fire.
11
00:00:46,460 --> 00:00:48,620
Yes, Boris Johnson is
fighting a plot to oust
12
00:00:48,620 --> 00:00:52,500
him as Prime Minister.
13
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:54,900
It's called operation save big dog.
14
00:00:54,900 --> 00:01:01,940
I think big dog might be
going to live on a farm soon.
15
00:01:01,940 --> 00:01:04,580
By the way, it's not just
Boris who is in trouble
16
00:01:04,580 --> 00:01:05,620
over boozy meetings.
17
00:01:05,620 --> 00:01:07,780
A photo emerged this
week of Sir Keir Starmer
18
00:01:07,780 --> 00:01:08,980
allegedly at a drinks bash.
19
00:01:08,980 --> 00:01:13,500
Woo hoo!
20
00:01:12,980 --> 00:01:15,380
I think Keir must be making
one of his speeches.
21
00:01:13,500 --> 00:01:14,540
Party!
22
00:01:14,540 --> 00:01:15,580
Keir, you crazy animal!
23
00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:20,500
That woman appears
to be stifling a yawn.
24
00:01:20,500 --> 00:01:21,700
What a dull, boring party...
25
00:01:21,700 --> 00:01:22,740
Labour is.
26
00:01:22,740 --> 00:01:26,100
One thing we can all agree on,
it is truly shocking that all those
27
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:31,460
people think it's acceptable
to drink at work.
28
00:01:31,460 --> 00:01:35,220
Cheers!
29
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:39,100
Let's meet tonight guests!
30
00:01:39,100 --> 00:01:40,260
All right.
31
00:01:40,260 --> 00:01:48,220
Later we'll have music
from singer-songwriter Emeli Sande.
32
00:01:49,420 --> 00:01:51,580
But first, she is an award-winning
comedian and creator
33
00:01:51,580 --> 00:01:52,740
of the hit romcom Starstruck.
34
00:01:52,740 --> 00:01:55,180
It's Rose Matafeo!
35
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:57,260
She's the break-out star
in Stephen Spielberg's
36
00:01:57,260 --> 00:02:03,540
new adaptation of West Side Story,
it's Rachel Zegler!
37
00:02:03,540 --> 00:02:05,780
She's the BAFTA winning
star of This Is England
38
00:02:05,780 --> 00:02:09,860
and the record-breaking hit drama
Line Of Duty, it's Vicky McClure!
39
00:02:09,860 --> 00:02:12,980
And he is one of our greatest actor
directors, hotly tipped for Oscar
40
00:02:12,980 --> 00:02:20,940
glory with his latest film Belfast,
it's Sir Kenneth Branagh!
41
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:24,340
Welcome all.
42
00:02:24,340 --> 00:02:25,540
Lovely to see you all.
43
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:27,060
Newbies!
44
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:28,100
Newbies!
45
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:29,140
Newbies!
46
00:02:29,140 --> 00:02:33,500
Rose and Rachel, we've
never had you before.
47
00:02:33,500 --> 00:02:35,180
I mean, yeah, thanks for having us.
48
00:02:35,180 --> 00:02:37,780
We are new!
49
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:38,820
I know.
50
00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:40,260
I don't know why I'm here!
51
00:02:40,260 --> 00:02:42,660
And, of course, we've
got, I was going to say
52
00:02:42,660 --> 00:02:45,100
old lags, but I didn't.
53
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:47,020
Now, Boris, obviously talking
about Boris, and you,
54
00:02:47,020 --> 00:02:48,060
is it Are we going to see this
drama this year?
55
00:02:50,580 --> 00:02:52,980
Now, Boris, obviously talking
about Boris, and you, is it..
56
00:02:52,980 --> 00:02:55,140
Are we going to see
this drama this year?
57
00:02:55,140 --> 00:02:58,020
You are, in the autumn you're
going to see a series called
58
00:02:58,020 --> 00:03:00,180
This Sceptered Isle,
which is about the early months
59
00:03:00,180 --> 00:03:04,900
of the pandemic over here in the UK.
60
00:03:04,900 --> 00:03:06,140
And they released an image.
61
00:03:06,140 --> 00:03:07,340
Ken is playing Boris Johnson.
62
00:03:07,340 --> 00:03:08,380
Check this out.
63
00:03:08,380 --> 00:03:09,820
I mean, that is so good.
64
00:03:09,820 --> 00:03:10,860
Oh, my God.
65
00:03:10,860 --> 00:03:11,900
Oh, my God.
66
00:03:11,900 --> 00:03:13,100
Yes, that's him, that is.
67
00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:14,300
How long did that take?
68
00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:15,340
Yeah!
69
00:03:15,340 --> 00:03:16,980
About three hours,
actually, in the morning
70
00:03:16,980 --> 00:03:20,220
to get into all of that.
71
00:03:20,220 --> 00:03:25,180
They've got a whole kind
of skin balaclava thing,
72
00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:28,540
things under the eyes and the nose,
and they've given me a top lip
73
00:03:28,540 --> 00:03:30,940
for the first time in my life,
so that's exciting.
74
00:03:30,940 --> 00:03:32,620
Did you mess up your hair yourself?
75
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:33,660
Exactly.
76
00:03:33,660 --> 00:03:34,700
That is self-messed hair.
77
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:36,620
That's not messed up
enough, in my opinion.
78
00:03:36,620 --> 00:03:37,660
It develops.
79
00:03:37,660 --> 00:03:43,060
We know Boris doesn't take
three hours getting ready
80
00:03:43,060 --> 00:03:45,900
Vicky, you've been viral all week
with the Line Of Duty spoof
81
00:03:45,900 --> 00:03:47,100
where you're interrogating Boris
Johnson.
82
00:03:47,100 --> 00:03:48,780
Did you know that was coming out?
83
00:03:48,780 --> 00:03:50,220
I can't confirm or deny anything.
84
00:03:50,220 --> 00:03:51,300
OK.
85
00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:55,540
Pleading the fifth.
86
00:03:55,540 --> 00:03:58,100
No, because it's gone gangbusters
that thing It's everywhere.
87
00:03:58,100 --> 00:04:02,260
Yes, I've watched it.
88
00:04:02,260 --> 00:04:06,620
OK, OK.
89
00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:08,780
Rachel Zegler, what an
amazing time to be you.
90
00:04:08,780 --> 00:04:11,900
I mean, well, I'm sure it's always
lovely being you, but this is...
91
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:13,780
Pretty cool.
92
00:04:13,780 --> 00:04:16,660
Just that thing, you know,
I love that bit at the beginning
93
00:04:16,660 --> 00:04:18,820
of the film saying, introducing
Rachel Zegler I mean,
94
00:04:18,820 --> 00:04:19,860
that is exciting.
95
00:04:19,860 --> 00:04:24,620
It is unlike anything I could have
possibly imagined, so, thank you.
96
00:04:24,620 --> 00:04:27,500
I love that you posted this picture,
I think it's so sweet,
97
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:31,100
of you with your face.
98
00:04:31,100 --> 00:04:33,740
Oh, yeah I mean, how big
did that need to be?
99
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:36,860
It could have been much smaller
but they said no, the big one.
100
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:37,900
Where is that?
101
00:04:37,900 --> 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 trajectory.
109
00:04:55,580 --> 00:04:56,620
That's a pipeline.
110
00:04:56,620 --> 00:04:59,260
You see that picture and think
that's adorable, your first movie,
111
00:04:59,260 --> 00:05:04,540
of course you're that excited
when you see a photo of yourself.
112
00:05:04,540 --> 00:05:05,980
Vicky McClure, what is your excuse?
113
00:05:05,980 --> 00:05:10,940
I'm still really
happy to be working!
114
00:05:10,940 --> 00:05:12,700
I get it.
115
00:05:12,700 --> 00:05:16,180
Listen, me and Johnny
were in the car and I practically
116
00:05:16,180 --> 00:05:21,300
said, "Stop the car,
I've just seen my face,
117
00:05:21,300 --> 00:05:22,740
"I need to take a picture."
118
00:05:22,740 --> 00:05:24,420
Yeah, I'm still not over all that.
119
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:25,860
And also, it's a great poster.
120
00:05:25,860 --> 00:05:27,540
Yeah, you can barely see my face.
121
00:05:27,540 --> 00:05:29,460
Stop it, we know
exactly who that is.
122
00:05:29,460 --> 00:05:30,500
Look at those eyes.
123
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:31,540
The eyes!
124
00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:34,180
Rose Matafeo, we've had so many
New Zealanders on the show,
125
00:05:34,180 --> 00:05:38,980
but they're at normally the end
of the show on...
126
00:05:38,980 --> 00:05:40,020
Oh, come on!
127
00:05:40,020 --> 00:05:41,060
Graham!
128
00:05:41,060 --> 00:05:42,740
Way to just shit on my country.
129
00:05:42,740 --> 00:05:44,500
They're not famous enough!
130
00:05:44,500 --> 00:05:45,540
No, it's very true.
131
00:05:45,540 --> 00:05:47,380
It is very true.
132
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:48,420
They're like lemmings.
133
00:05:48,420 --> 00:05:50,580
They just queue up for
that, for the chair.
134
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:52,980
Why is it always New Zealanders
in the red chair?
135
00:05:52,980 --> 00:05:54,020
I don't know!
136
00:05:54,020 --> 00:05:56,660
Because they just experience
the most messed up stuff, I think...
137
00:05:56,660 --> 00:05:59,060
You know, New Zealand 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
00:06:02,860 --> 00:06:03,860
Why would I?
142
00:06:03,860 --> 00:06:04,900
They all come here!
143
00:06:04,900 --> 00:06:07,060
This is a very popular
show in New Zealand.
144
00:06:07,060 --> 00:06:08,100
It's very interesting.
145
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:09,140
Oh.
146
00:06:09,140 --> 00:06:10,340
Not surprising, it's very good.
147
00:06:10,340 --> 00:06:11,380
Yeah, whatever.
148
00:06:11,380 --> 00:06:13,900
I'm shocked.
149
00:06:13,900 --> 00:06:16,300
No, I...
150
00:06:16,300 --> 00:06:21,220
We've watched this for many
years in New Zealand,
151
00:06:21,220 --> 00:06:24,340
we very much like it,
and we're very happy for me to be
152
00:06:24,340 --> 00:06:25,380
representing my country.
153
00:06:25,380 --> 00:06:26,420
No!
154
00:06:26,420 --> 00:06:28,340
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
00:20:13,940 --> 00:20:16,580
Hey, watch!
487
00:20:16,580 --> 00:20:24,540
Watch what you're doing!
488
00:20:33,860 --> 00:20:36,820
Oh, for...
489
00:20:41,420 --> 00:20:43,980
What is she doing?
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
00:40:31,140 --> 00:40:35,740
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.
931
00:40:35,740 --> 00:40:38,260
# We've seen it all
932
00:40:38,260 --> 00:40:39,580
# The tears have fallen
933
00:40:39,580 --> 00:40:43,700
# And every step is on the edge
934
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:46,060
# And we're so confused
935
00:40:46,060 --> 00:40:49,940
# We don't understand
936
00:40:49,940 --> 00:40:57,900
# It feels like this night won't end
937
00:41:01,540 --> 00:41:03,220

# To brighter days
946
00:41:22,740 --> 00:41:27,180
# The world will change
947
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:29,340
# So don't you worry,
there's still hope left
948
00:41:29,340 --> 00:41:32,900
# If the pain gets heavy,
if you need a friend
949
00:41:32,900 --> 00:41:35,300
# I'll be holding you steady,
my love won't end
950
00:41:35,300 --> 00:41:43,020
# And I'll be counting
the seconds until we meet again
951
00:41:43,020 --> 00:41:44,980
# Yeah there's gonna be
952
00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:47,940

986
00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:24,900
Wowzer!
987
00:43:24,900 --> 00:43:25,940
Emeli Sande, everybody!
988
00:43:25,940 --> 00:43:26,980
Come on over.
989
00:43:26,980 --> 00:43:28,180
Many thanks to the band.
990
00:43:28,180 --> 00:43:29,220
Emeli Sande, everybody!
991
00:43:29,220 --> 00:43:30,260
Here she comes.
992
00:43:30,260 --> 00:43:38,220
We got you a chair.
993
00:43:38,660 --> 00:43:41,700
There is a glass of wine.
994
00:43:41,700 --> 00:43:42,780
Thank you.
995
00:43:42,780 --> 00:43:50,020
That's a big sing.
996
00:43:50,020 --> 00:43:52,260
It's a high one.
997
00:43:52,260 --> 00:43:53,580
Yeah.
998
00:43:53,580 --> 00:43:57,300
Up she goes, and she's off again.
999
00:43:57,300 --> 00:43:58,420
And those shoes, too.
1000
00:43:58,420 --> 00:43:59,460
Thank you, yes.
1001
00:43:59,460 --> 00:44:00,500
Oh, my God.
1002
00:44:00,500 --> 00:44:01,540
Hello!
1003
00:44:01,540 --> 00:44:03,860
Yeah, down the stairs.
1004
00:44:03,860 --> 00:44:04,900
Well done, you.
1005
00:44:04,900 --> 00:44:06,580
Listen, so that's the
single, Brighter Days,
1006
00:44:06,580 --> 00:44:07,620
that is out now.
1007
00:44:07,620 --> 00:44:08,660
Yes, out now, yeah.
1008
00:44:08,660 --> 00:44:11,060
And that is going to be
on the forthcoming album.
1009
00:44:11,060 --> 00:44:12,740
That's going to be released in May?
1010
00:44:12,740 --> 00:44:14,860
Yes, May coming out.
1011
00:44:14,860 --> 00:44:18,220
Now, is this, so this is the album,
so you produced this as well
1012
00:44:18,220 --> 00:44:19,260
as...
1013
00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:22,380
Well, it's sort of the first time
I've had a say in the
1014
00:44:22,380 --> 00:44:25,500
production, and there is a couple
of tracks on there that I actually
1015
00:44:25,500 --> 00:44:26,540
produced.
1016
00:44:26,540 --> 00:44:29,140
It's been nice just to make
something, kind of, you know,
1017
00:44:29,140 --> 00:44:31,300
more independently, and definitely
have my fingerprint on everything.
1018
00:44:31,300 --> 00:44:32,380
Yeah, yeah.
1019
00:44:32,380 --> 00:44:35,260
And it's weird because I wasn't
going to bring it up, and
1020
00:44:35,260 --> 00:44:38,340
then you said, apparently every time
he sees you he gets quite nervous.
1021
00:44:38,340 --> 00:44:39,420
Really?
1022
00:44:39,420 --> 00:44:42,060
It's only because you were
so brilliant at the Olympics opening
1023
00:44:42,060 --> 00:44:43,420
ceremony in 2012,
so when I see you it
1024
00:44:43,420 --> 00:44:46,060
It's only because you were
so brilliant at the Olympics opening
1025
00:44:46,060 --> 00:44:49,420
ceremony in 2012, so when I see
you it reminds me of how terrifying
1026
00:44:49,420 --> 00:44:51,820
it was on that night
when we were all playing
1027
00:44:51,820 --> 00:44:53,260
to 1 billion people, but you
1028
00:44:53,260 --> 00:44:56,140
can't all of us down because you did
such a wonderful job.
1029
00:44:56,140 --> 00:44:58,300
-- calmed all of us
down because you did
1030
00:44:58,300 --> 00:44:59,340
such a wonderful job.
1031
00:44:59,340 --> 00:45:00,380
Oh, thank you.
1032
00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:01,420
Thank you so much.
1033
00:45:01,420 --> 00:45:02,460
APPLAUSE
1034
00:45:02,460 --> 00:45:03,660
Ten years ago this year.
1035
00:45:03,660 --> 00:45:04,700
Yeah, yeah.
1036
00:45:04,700 --> 00:45:05,740
Rachel was ten.
1037
00:45:05,740 --> 00:45:06,780
I was 11.
1038
00:45:06,780 --> 00:45:07,820
OK?
1039
00:45:07,820 --> 00:45:13,740
Loved it, though, loved
it, stayed up late.
1040
00:45:13,740 --> 00:45:16,620
Now, exciting, Emeli Sande back
on tour, but like a proper big
1041
00:45:16,620 --> 00:45:17,660
tour.
1042
00:45:17,660 --> 00:45:18,700
Yeah, UK tour.
1043
00:45:18,700 --> 00:45:21,340
We are going to announce
the date soon but it should
1044
00:45:21,340 --> 00:45:22,540
be sometime in the summer.
1045
00:45:22,540 --> 00:45:23,580
I'm excited.
1046
00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:26,940
I just finished a few shows
at the piano, so now I'm excited to
1047
00:45:26,940 --> 00:45:30,060
get out there with the band and
really enjoy just kind of dancing
1048
00:45:30,060 --> 00:45:31,740
and hopefully making
people happy with music.
1049
00:45:31,740 --> 00:45:32,780
Wow.
1050
00:45:32,780 --> 00:45:33,980
Listen, that performance
was stunning.
1051
00:45:33,980 --> 00:45:36,380
Thank you so much and good
luck with the tour
1052
00:45:36,380 --> 00:45:37,820
and the album, Emeli
Sande, everybody!
1053
00:45:37,820 --> 00:45:43,060
APPLAUSE
1054
00:45:43,060 --> 00:45:44,100
Lovely job.
1055
00:45:44,100 --> 00:45:45,900
Right, that's nearly it.
1056
00:45:45,900 --> 00:45:49,260
Before we go, just time for a quick
visit to the big red chair.
1057
00:45:49,260 --> 00:45:50,540
Hello.
1058
00:45:50,540 --> 00:45:51,580
What's your name?
1059
00:45:51,580 --> 00:45:52,620
Ellis.
1060
00:45:52,620 --> 00:45:53,660
Ellis?
1061
00:45:53,660 --> 00:45:54,700
Alice.
1062
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:55,780
Sorry, Alice.
1063
00:45:55,780 --> 00:45:56,940
Where are you from, Alice?
1064
00:45:56,940 --> 00:45:57,980
New Zealand.
1065
00:45:57,980 --> 00:46:00,860
Oh, my God.
1066
00:46:00,860 --> 00:46:02,380
Do you know Rose Matafeo?
1067
00:46:02,380 --> 00:46:03,460
No, I don't.
1068
00:46:03,460 --> 00:46:04,500
What?
1069
00:46:04,500 --> 00:46:05,540
How?
1070
00:46:05,540 --> 00:46:06,580
How?
1071
00:46:06,580 --> 00:46:08,220
You don't know who I am!
1072
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:12,100
I find that hard to believe.
1073
00:46:12,100 --> 00:46:13,780
Where are you from in New Zealand?
1074
00:46:13,780 --> 00:46:14,820
Auckland.
1075
00:46:14,820 --> 00:46:15,860
I'm from Auckland!
1076
00:46:15,860 --> 00:46:17,300
Which school did you go to?
1077
00:46:17,300 --> 00:46:18,980
A small school called
Saint Dominic's college.
1078
00:46:18,980 --> 00:46:20,020
I know St Dom's.
1079
00:46:20,020 --> 00:46:21,460
What school did you go to?
1080
00:46:21,460 --> 00:46:22,900
I went to Auckland girls Grammar.
1081
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:24,100
Everyone knows
Auckland Girls Grammar.
1082
00:46:24,100 --> 00:46:25,140
Everyone knows.
1083
00:46:25,140 --> 00:46:27,220
Yeah, yeah, we've got a reputation.
1084
00:46:27,220 --> 00:46:28,660
Wait, so, how old are you?
1085
00:46:28,660 --> 00:46:29,700
I'm sorry.
1086
00:46:29,700 --> 00:46:31,620
I'm just interviewing
her now because I swear
1087
00:46:31,620 --> 00:46:33,900
to God I know you.
1088
00:46:33,900 --> 00:46:41,100
I think we do have
friends of friends.
1089
00:46:41,100 --> 00:46:42,300
She is admitting it now.
1090
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:43,820
Wow.
1091
00:46:43,820 --> 00:46:45,740
Also, my favourite thing
about you, Alice, is
1092
00:46:45,740 --> 00:46:47,700
that you're wearing your coat.
1093
00:46:47,700 --> 00:46:49,620
Like you're just going
to be flipped and
1094
00:46:49,620 --> 00:46:50,660
leave.
1095
00:46:50,660 --> 00:46:51,860
Listen, let's hear her story.
1096
00:46:51,860 --> 00:46:56,780
Off you go, Alice.
1097
00:46:56,780 --> 00:46:59,660
OK, so a few years ago my
boyfriend and I went on
1098
00:46:59,660 --> 00:47:03,300
a holiday to Vietnam.
1099
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:05,660
I quickly learned when
I arrived in Vietnam
1100
00:47:05,660 --> 00:47:08,300
that I don't do very well
in the heat and humidity.
1101
00:47:08,300 --> 00:47:11,180
So, we went on a day trip down
to the Mekong Delta,
1102
00:47:11,180 --> 00:47:13,820
which is about four hours outside
of Ho Chi Minh City.
1103
00:47:13,820 --> 00:47:15,100
Interesting.
1104
00:47:15,100 --> 00:47:18,300
I was melting.
1105
00:47:18,300 --> 00:47:21,420
Melting the entire day, and then
on the way back the aircon in
1106
00:47:21,420 --> 00:47:22,620
the bus just completely broke.
1107
00:47:22,620 --> 00:47:28,180
I then proceeded to
have a big meltdown.
1108
00:47:28,180 --> 00:47:30,900
OK, Alice, remember your
representing our country!
1109
00:47:30,900 --> 00:47:32,260
OK?
1110
00:47:32,260 --> 00:47:34,900
Let's pick it up.
1111
00:47:34,900 --> 00:47:40,060
OK, sorry, snappy, so bus pulls
over, I refuse to get on,
1112
00:47:40,060 --> 00:47:43,660
I may or may not have said, you
don't understand, I will die if I
1113
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:44,860
get back on that bus.
1114
00:47:44,860 --> 00:47:47,260
Arrived back in Ho Chi Minh,
wake up, realise I
1115
00:47:47,260 --> 00:47:48,940
have left my phone
somewhere at the...
1116
00:47:48,940 --> 00:47:50,100
Sorry.
1117
00:47:50,100 --> 00:47:56,780
I mean, I was as nice as...
1118
00:47:56,780 --> 00:48:00,460
That story, it was like it was
happening in real time!
1119
00:48:00,460 --> 00:48:03,340
You're going to get that
with a St Dom's girl,
1120
00:48:03,340 --> 00:48:04,900
OK?
1121
00:48:04,900 --> 00:48:06,820
Only four hours from
Ho Chi Minh City?
1122
00:48:06,820 --> 00:48:07,860
It felt like five.
1123
00:48:07,860 --> 00:48:11,260
Poor Alice.
1124
00:48:11,260 --> 00:48:15,860
Are very good.
1125
00:48:15,860 --> 00:48:16,900
Very good.
1126
00:48:16,900 --> 00:48:18,820
That really is all we have time for.
1127
00:48:18,820 --> 00:48:21,940

in the red chair yourself and
