02:42Oh
02:44Hello, everybody
02:46Is everyone well?
02:48You seem very far away
02:49I am
02:51Well, you're quite far away, too
02:53But it's a conversational group thing
02:55Now, ladies and gentlemen
02:57Congratulations on order
02:58Because since we last met Carrie Mulligan
03:00New little baby
03:01Yes
03:02Congratulations
03:03Thank you
03:08What did you have?
03:09I had a girl
03:10A girl, and minutes old?
03:11When did it happen?
03:12Uh, three weeks ago
03:13Oh, okay, so not many minutes old
03:15Okay
03:16So this must be nice just getting out of the house
03:18Oh, you know
03:19Yeah, I'll go on a chat show
03:20Yeah
03:21Very, very good
03:23Now, obviously there's lots of connections on the sofa
03:27Because Carrie and Meryl, you're in the same movie together
03:30Yeah
03:31Yeah
03:32Famously, Nicole, Meryl in the hours together
03:34Yeah
03:35But did you ever meet in the hours?
03:36No
03:37No
03:38But afterwards
03:39Yeah, red carpet
03:40I was shocked when I saw Nicole in the movie
03:44Because she stole my nose
03:51It was like, oh my god
03:53No, it was really kind of like it, you know
03:55Didn't you keep the nose?
03:57Yeah, I loved having that nose
03:58Yeah
03:59Yeah, really did
04:00I loved my profile
04:01Yeah
04:02I liked that one
04:03And of course the other memento you got for the hours
04:07Because it was an actual Oscar
04:08What?
04:09Yes
04:10Yeah
04:11Which, now this is surprising ladies and gentlemen
04:15That was the same year
04:17Meryl Streep not even a nomination
04:20That's why I got the Oscar
04:22That is odd, isn't it?
04:24Well, it's hard for you to talk about
04:27It was very unusual
04:28Yes, it was very unusual
04:29Yes, it was very unusual
04:31You must be trying on dresses and going
04:34You what now?
04:35Never happened again
04:37And Meryl Streep you weren't always Meryl Streep
04:42What?
04:43Oh
04:44What do you mean?
04:47No, at birth, at birth, I had to be named Mary
04:53Because my mother's name was Mary
04:54And her mother's name was Mary
04:56And her mother's name was Mary
04:57And I named my first daughter Mary
05:00Because I'm, you know
05:02Yeah
05:03I'm that way
05:05What is that way?
05:06What do you call it?
05:07Creature of habit?
05:08No, trying to fit in
05:10Alright
05:11And make everybody happy in the family, basically
05:14So, yeah, but my mother's
05:17What was the question?
05:19I'm sorry
05:20You weren't Meryl
05:21What was my name?
05:22You weren't Meryl
05:23What is your name?
05:24Yeah, I knew that
05:25I knew that
05:26I knew that
05:27I knew that
05:28I knew that
05:29I knew that
05:30I knew that
05:31I knew that
05:32I knew that
05:33Yeah
05:34Yeah
05:35I was born
05:36So I was born Mary
05:37And Louise was my mother's best friend
05:39Louise Buckman
05:40So I was named after her
05:41And
05:42And
05:43But I was always called Meryl
05:44My father's
05:45Made that name up
05:46And he
05:47He liked that name
05:48And so
05:49I hated it
05:50I wanted to be named
05:52Patty
05:53Or Kathy
05:54Or
05:55That's how they said it in my town
05:56Patty, Kathy, Debbie
05:58You know
06:00You'd be such a different person
06:02If you'd been brought up Patty
06:03Wouldn't you?
06:04I don't know
06:05Yeah, probably
06:06Yeah
06:07But I had glasses
06:09And my name was Meryl
06:10And it had a pee on the end
06:14The street
06:15Should have been street
06:16I always wished
06:17Why didn't they just put the T on the end
06:19Instead of
06:20Pee
06:21You know what I remember
06:23Yeah
06:24Yeah
06:25It's all coming out now
06:26Yeah
06:27And Nigella
06:29When was it just
06:30When you just left university
06:31You weren't Nigella Lawson
06:32For a little bit
06:33Or you had a pseudonym you used
06:34No I was a journalist
06:36And I used my name
06:37But I also wrote under a pseudonym
06:39A rather fabulous pseudonym actually
06:41Share with the group
06:42It's
06:43I
06:44It's kind of inspired by my name
06:45In the sense of a very ridiculous first name
06:47But a rather pedestrian
06:49You know workaday surname
06:51And my pseudonym was Mercedes Wainwright
06:53And what articles would a Mercedes write that Nigella wouldn't
06:59Well I was a literary journalist
07:02And at that stage wanted to write things that I wouldn't be
07:08I don't know I didn't write for magazines much
07:10I wrote for newspapers
07:11So when I wrote for magazines I used that name
07:14Mercedes Wainwright Investigates
07:16Very good
07:17Yeah
07:18Because Carey Mulligan when you were a young
07:21Not an actress that you were dreaming of being an actress
07:24You thought you wouldn't go with Carey Mulligan
07:26No I thought Carey Mulligan was a bit sort of dumpy
07:29And
07:30Well you know
07:31I like that
07:32That was a very good noise audience
07:33Oh dumpy?
07:34Did she say dumpy?
07:35No I just thought it was a bit sort of
07:37You know
07:38So I wanted a glamorous name
07:40Like
07:41Catherine de Najek
07:42And
07:43And
07:45Catherine Hathalie
07:46And I used to work in a pub
07:47And so I just
07:48The same four guys used to come in everyday
07:51Between two and five
07:52And I'd ask them to dream up names
07:54That was the best that we got
07:56And by five o'clock I imagine they were quite good
08:00Yeah exactly
08:01And Nicole Kidman you had an adorable name
08:04When you were little
08:05A sort of pet name
08:09Unless I'm wrong
08:10No
08:11If I'm wrong
08:12You know weren't you called
08:13Is it
08:14I don't know how you called it
08:15Is it
08:16Hukulani?
08:17Oh no that's not my pet name
08:18That's my Hawaiian name
08:19Oh
08:20I do forgive me
08:21Um
08:23Yeah
08:24Because I was born in Hawaii
08:25Oh so does everyone get an Hawaiian name
08:27If you're born in Hawaii
08:28No but I did
08:29Okay
08:31Um
08:32Hukulani
08:33What does it mean?
08:34It means
08:35Heavenly Star
08:36Oh
08:37Oh
08:38But
08:42But
08:43But
08:44Slightly undermines it
08:45Yeah
08:46Can you explain where your parents got the name?
08:47Um
08:48From the Honolulu Zoo
08:49There was a baby
08:51The baby elephant that was born at the same time as me
08:54Was called Hukulani
08:56So we we thought we read about it so we google it there was a picture this is a picture of hookah lani the elephant
09:05See
09:12No, no stop that
09:15But so we were in the opposite, you know kind of elephants live
09:18And I thought oh
09:21Amazing
09:23Is that really the and you've got it would be amazing if we had hookah lani at back, so we
09:30Remember hookah lani what happened to the hookah lani and very kindly someone I think her name's Barbara she found time to email back
09:38Aloha because that's what you say
09:41It's not aloha
09:45Aloha aloha
09:47ah
09:47hookah lani
09:48Yes, I love it
09:49hookah lani
09:50hookah lani
09:51Oh, oh
09:52Barbara writes I am sorry to say that hookah lani died at the Honolulu Zoo on November the 13th, 1970
10:00Oh
10:001970 now you would think busy busy busy running a zoo. I'll stop my email there. That's all they wanted to know. No, Barbara continues
10:10She was found dead in the moat of her exhibits
10:14It goes on
10:15This is awful
10:16I know
10:17No, no
10:18No, no, this was in 1970 and Barbara remembers it like it was yesterday
10:24She was found in the moat it was speculated that she was pushed in by another young elephant
10:30And jealous of the mothering attention she was receiving from an older female
10:34I wish there was a more warm and fuzzy angle to this story. Good luck with your interview
10:47Thanks, Barbara. I would say she's got the measure of your show about rights
10:54Love this dead elephant story
10:56Listen, let's start we must talk about the big film tonight is suffragette and suffragette is a terrific
11:04Terrific film it opens everywhere on Monday
11:07And it tells the story of the suffragette movement in the 1900s as they fought to get the vote for women
11:12And I love it because it gets that balance so right between
11:16The historical political and the personal so the tale is sort of told through your journey Carrie isn't it? Yeah
11:23Yeah, I'm a working-class mother and it's told it's sort of set in Bethnal Green in 1912 and it's about the east end
11:31militant suffragettes and and I start the story kind of apathetic kind of conventional and and
11:37Pretty miserable and I sort of get drawn into this movement because you don't want to be a suffragette
11:42No, and I think like a lot of women then they felt it was
11:45not respectable and and
11:47And dangerous and and sort of wanted to avoid it
11:50But she becomes inspired by these women that she meets and and the whole campaign is led by emeline pan casting my place
11:56Yes, because you obviously you play the iconic emeline pankhurst
11:59And what is there any real footage of her daddy news real footage of emeline pankhurst? Yeah, there is there's there are eight seconds of
12:07Film of her it's the only thing I found that's about how long I am in the movie too
12:12And and carry you what you would have a part in Meryl
12:18Getting in the film got me the job
12:21I've seen this actress
12:26Yeah, exactly
12:28Yeah, well we I signed on quite early and we debated not really debated
12:33But um we were trying to figure out you know who was who was gonna play emeline pankhurst
12:38And and I was on a walk with my mum and she said oh, well, you know, what if you got Meryl Streep and I was like, oh mum
12:44Come on bless you. We're never gonna get Meryl Streep
12:47And then I mentioned it to Sarah and I said, you know, well, maybe we should just offer it and like, you know
12:52What does it matter? You know, we may as well and
12:55And she said yes, and I was in the bath and I got an email from Sarah Gabbro
12:58On the director saying Meryl's in and I
13:03Such a huge I was so honored to be in it. I mean, it's it's really wonderful and she is
13:10Fantastic and you really are we're gonna watch a clip. This is where carries character more watts and mrs. Pankhurst are trying to evade the police
13:19Edith
13:25Dear Emily, this is mrs. Watts, mrs. Pankhurst. Maud. Thank you, Maud
13:32Never surrender never give up the fight
13:49Oh
13:54Don't bother arresting them that their husband's deal with them drop them at the front doors
14:10Where you address the suffragettes yeah in a way there must mean something kind of real about that because you've got all these
14:16Actresses and extras women in that crowd. Oh, yeah, because if they do you know they're geeked because it's like Meryl Streep's gonna come to
14:24Did you get a buzz out of it? Oh, I did because they didn't we didn't rehearse it and so
14:29They got the crowd together and everybody was there all the
14:34Actresses were lined up and I was nervous because you know I
14:38This is my only
14:46I kept forgetting my line
14:49But yeah, they were very forgiving and it was so excited. I mean part of it is that is that
14:58This is all such really recent history if you think about it. It's only a hundred years ago. My my grandmother was
15:05Had three little children before she was allowed to vote and I remember her telling me how annoyed she was not that she couldn't vote for
15:13President but that she couldn't vote for the school board she really cared who was on the school board because it was what?
15:19How her children were going to be educated and because people do listen to you Meryl, you know, they're kind of she's speaking
15:26Do you think you might get involved in public office? Would you ever run for would you ever?
15:32Never
15:34I'm just in awe of people who put their lives on the line like that because especially now the cost to your family
15:41To the larger group that you love it's almost you I mean you just offer them on on the altar
15:48But you make movies like this movie which you really should go see because it does
15:53I mean so many people do not know the history of what it took for women to get the right to vote and
15:58Still don't have the right to vote in very many countries
16:00But that's that is like being in office if you want to call it in the sense of that's your contribution as
16:06Actors and as storytellers is we can put this out in the world. Yes, and Lily your play your play is the same isn't it?
16:14I mean it's it's yeah, well different
16:16It's overdue recognition for a woman scientist. Yes, so but it's lovely to be in that position to be able to to do that and say here
16:24It is here's your work go see it digest it talk about it and
16:28Keep things moving forward. I do think we owe it to the world to
16:33women who have no voice
16:35To get behind projects like this
16:38Well, it's great really
16:48I heard you laughing
16:56Yeah, no, no, I wasn't distracting it was it boosted me
17:02Was I meant to I wasn't it was funny when I was this funny part? Yes
17:06I'm saying you're so good in this play. It's a photograph 51
17:11It's all now till the 21st of November the Norcott theater extra tickets apparently have been released
17:16Yeah, I know the the premise the premise if I'm being honest before about to see it premise sounded a little dry
17:22And it's the discovery of DNA, but in fact, but it is a compelling story
17:28So talk about your character and her path in that that discovery
17:32Um, I play Rosalind Franklin who was a scientist who was involved in
17:38discovering DNA she was a crystallographer and she found this way of
17:43Anyway, I'm not going to get into the scientific jargon. I'm like shut up Nicole
17:46It's a hydrated sample
17:48Oh, yeah, yeah
17:50But it is but seriously
17:52It is because it's got a race involved
17:54She took the photograph that basically allowed Watson and Crick to go and build the model for the double helix, which is
18:03DNA
18:05Because it happened back in the 50s, and you know she has
18:08Since then been a footnote in sort of history who rescued her how was she rediscovered?
18:14I mean if you talk to scientists they know about her my father was a biochemist
18:19So he knew about her when I told him I was going to be doing the play
18:23But in in the public no, you know, maybe you know the names of Watson and Crick who discovered DNA
18:30But you don't hear of Rosalind Franklin and watching it really struck me that you know, you haven't been on
18:36So do you mean the West End for is it 17 years something 17 years now because watching it?
18:41I just thought oh my you're so good, and I just thought that must feel
18:45Great to be back on stage kind of going oh my god. I'm good at this
18:51Flexing that theatrical muscle again. Oh, I can read I was terrified. I mean I remember 17 years ago
18:56I always seem to come to London to do plays because I love love doing place here, and I love the theater
19:02I grew up going to the theater, and so I kind of jumped in going yes, I'll do a play
19:08And then the reality of it. I mean we rehearsed in a small church hall, which was lovely
19:14But the fear started to grip me and I I was sort of really
19:19I had terrible stage fright where it was pounding heart and adrenaline
19:24Surging through my body that I don't remember 17 years ago, so I think because I'm older I'm now got
19:29Are you enjoying it now? Are you enjoying it now?
19:31I now love it. I love going on stage, but it was just interesting navigating that
19:37That fear and still going on and doing the performance and getting lost in the performance, but in the wings
19:44Going how do I get on stage and I can understand actors just not getting on the stage just not getting there
19:50But I saw Carrie. I've seen Meryl on stage. I saw Carrie
19:54Carrie on stage just when was it a few months ago new in New York doing skylight, and she was superb
20:00I saw Meryl do a cartwheel
20:02What? Oh, yeah
20:04Cartwheel, cartwheel, cartwheel
20:06I saw you do um
20:13Yeah, I like with the forward roll or something
20:21Yeah, yeah, again. I'm thrilled Nicole Kidman gets nervous
20:27This was fear that was like I mean I'm I'm not surprised just the idea of
20:33Someone going on stage is just so terrible, but if they told me it would go and it has gone
20:38But it does seem a weird thing to be built into a job
20:41To be you know what I mean if a bus driver was scared of bus driving you'd suggest you didn't do it
20:46It's
20:48You know what I mean? It's weird that you've chosen a job that you're quaking in the wings kind of go
20:52Yeah, no it is and it's like why am I doing this? Don't you get scared before you do a show?
20:57May I present?
20:59Thank you
21:08I don't suggest that
21:11Gary Mulligan you've had some odd reviews over the years
21:18What did somebody describe you as?
21:19No, this wasn't a review. I try not to read reviews. I try not to and then
21:23Yeah, sometimes I get a bit drunk
21:27Just google myself
21:29You know when you're you know yeah, and then no this wasn't a review this was I was filming suffragette and we had a slow morning
21:35It was a Sunday, and I got the Sunday papers, and I opened
21:38something and some
21:40Someone was writing about me for no particular reason just because and described me as a human balaclava
21:47And I was sort of hurt, but also really confused
21:51Yeah, so it obviously means I'm boring, but you know
21:54Does it?
21:55I don't know
21:55It does
21:56It does
21:56I think we're toasty and intimidating
22:08But weren't you on stage?
22:10Oh, yes when I did 40 yeah, my first stage play I was 19 at the royal court, and um
22:16I was doing a kevin elliott play, and it was very serious, and
22:20And but four of the review I've got quite big hands and quite big feet sort of manly
22:29I don't know they are
22:40Actually you're right they're freakish
22:46Reviews mentioned how big my hands were so when you do that they do look quite big
22:51I think I was also acting a lot with them
22:55And meryl you've never had a bad view have you ever had a bad review?
22:58Oh, yeah, no. Oh, yeah, how bad?
23:03Well, I remember once in a woody allen movie that they said oh this is the best performance by a head of hair
23:11I have really good hair
23:17I think we have a picture of you and it is in fairness good hair
23:20That is
23:21That is
23:22Boom
23:22Upstaged by your own hair
23:24Yeah, exactly
23:26I used it like a curtain
23:28Sometimes it has it this side sometimes the other side
23:31And it was very deep performance
23:33Oh dear now listen great reviews I'm sure are in store because
23:37Nigella lawson has returned with a new book and a television series
23:42Simply Nigella the book is out now the television series starts in
23:46November
23:47November and I
23:49You lovely on cover
23:51I do look at it. I think have you eaten at all did your father delivery not come yet?
23:55It is the food in these pages can will fill up these bowls and there they are
24:02And they're on the back
24:03They're on the back and so what's the thinking behind this it seems to be
24:07Middle East a little bit Asian more Asian than before
24:11Well, I went to Thailand that'd be it
24:15But it's a bit of everything you know my recipe is always a bit of everything I don't have any
24:20Particular I don't know I have once had a book with one theme in my Italian book
24:24But generally I feel like you know there isn't a theme life hasn't really got a theme
24:28It's kind of how I cook and I find this easier on those days
24:32Sometimes I need to eat something out of a bowl so that every I've got a chapter called bowl food
24:37Because you know those days when you just want every
24:39Spoonful to be the same as the one before in a bowl maybe on a sofa and everyone that you always have to eat at the table
24:45I love being lying on a sofa
24:47I've got a chapter called breathe you know those sort of things when you buy yourself time and it's easy
24:53So lots of different things different sorts of food
24:57Simple all of it not as a huge strategy, but because I have no particular skills to make anything complicated and nor do I like
25:04Complicated food but now because sometimes because I don't really cook but so sometimes I look at a recipe
25:09You know and there are they're delicious things in like pulled pork and the tequila lime chicken
25:14And I think well I could do all that I could do that but then often when you look at the pictures in cookbooks
25:18You're gonna think mine will not look like that
25:21It will not look like that but even I I think could produce that
25:28Do you know what we had
25:31I think I opened the book on that page. I was like really
25:33I'll tell you what happened. It was too big a white space and we were really running out of time
25:40We couldn't do another whole food photograph so I've got some sweet potatoes
25:46Can I tell you why I like that one because I don't I mean it's aspirational for me
25:51I don't like food that's been that's faked up
25:55I won't like nothing is faked when I do but also for example
25:59I use a throwaway foil tin to roast things in so it's more or less saying like this is how this is how normal people cook
26:05It doesn't have to be that fancy and you know there are brown bits coming out of the potatoes
26:09Well, that's what happens too. You could see a lot in some of those recipes that maybe you know
26:15Something's it's not at its best, but there's such beautiful photographs. They're gorgeous photographs of real food
26:21Well simply Nigella the book is out now and here's a clip of the tv series which starts on the 2nd of November on bbc2
26:35Tawny tangle of noodles
26:42And these golden prawns I rather love the shards of cinnamon going through it
26:50Obviously for not to be eaten
26:55Final touch the leaves from the shoots of celery a friend of mine's father said
27:04If it goes in it it's got to go on it
27:17I said at the beginning that a stir fry was comforting and familiar
27:22But what this is is comforting and unfamiliar
27:37Because Meryl have you played you played a famous cook julia childs
27:40Uh, but can you cook?
27:41No, I mean
27:45Not until I did that movie but I never
27:48Really understood that you have to make the time
27:51I was raised by a mother who said if it's not done in 45 minutes. It's not dinner
27:55And she also I remember
28:01When I was 10 I went up the road to the neighbor's house and she and her mother were in the kitchen
28:06And they were doing something with tennis balls
28:08And I said what are you doing? And they said peeling potatoes those aren't potatoes potatoes come in a box
28:19They were dry, you know flakes
28:22Oh my god
28:23Add water
28:24Delicious
28:24It's appalling how we eat
28:26But you know every single sort of michelin star french chef is obsessed with
28:32Instant potatoes because in france they're all given it as children these instant potatoes
28:37There's not our top french chef who doesn't go completely nostalgic remember what they're called in french, but they love them
28:43Can you still buy smash now?
28:48Meryl's mother's in
28:50I
28:53Carey Mulligan I look at you, and I don't know why but I think possibly couldn't boil an egg
29:07Thank you ladies and gentlemen
29:09I'm always googling like
29:11What to do if you have salmonella or
29:15Things cooking through
29:17You know that's my nerve-looking thing and Nicole because you've got kids now, so you'll have you must cook grilled cheese
29:24Lovely they'll be on a chat show on your instagram telling a story
29:30Getting them off pasta but um but I collect cookbooks and recipes I rip them out of magazines and I see them and I have folders and books
29:42I don't ever cook yeah
29:44One day
29:46I love to be cooked for
29:52Cookbooks sometimes though there can be a bit repetitive you know you see the same things coming up
29:56I guarantee you ladies and gentlemen where you're flicking through the cookbook this Christmas
30:00Well, no, I'm just thinking I can't imagine there is another cookbook with a recipe for
30:06pink pickled eggs
30:08And they look delicious
30:10Actually, I'm sure you will find other ones because that is really it's a it's actually a sort of my lazy take on a german way of pickling eggs with beetroot
30:20They don't know how pretty they look
30:22I thought it looked a bit like a 60s fabric
30:26Yes
30:28I went a bit all over
30:30I went a bit all over yes
30:32But you love a pickled egg
30:34Last story about the the pickled egg you ate pickled eggs was it at university you ate pickled eggs?
30:38No, no, no, no, no, no, it was actually
30:40Yesterday
30:42It must have been john was still alive so I would say it would have been any you know
30:48I think it was button doesn't but around 89 90 I
30:52I ate he was not well. We were hard up. I
30:56Was someone bet me such a foolish thing to bet me I could need something someone bet me I couldn't eat a whole jar the sort of
31:02You get fish chips or pickled eggs
31:04So I said I said I'm afraid I went a bit to the red light district on this one
31:10I just said put all the money out when I see the money on a trailer ever because otherwise people don't pay
31:14Don't pay
31:16You've done it for the vet and they won't pay
31:18So
31:20I got
31:22So the money was there the money was there you know
31:24What's a girl to do?
31:26A husband
31:28Baby and a toddler
31:30How many pickled eggs?
31:32A huge amount my hands went
31:34Completely you know that sort of puckered thing if you've been in the bath too long
31:38I had little ridges all over my mouth
31:40Ridges like a duck like that
31:42But can I just say I ate the whole
31:44Oh and the next morning I got up and I had scrambled eggs for breakfast
31:50Very good

35:02Come and join us, dude
35:04There you go
35:07That was fabulous
35:08Have a seat there
35:10We talked about Jenna
35:10Say hi to the ladies
35:11Very good
35:12Oh
35:13Oh, very good
35:17And ladies, I want to run applause
35:19For all those drummers
35:20How good were they?
35:22So happy to be here.
35:24It's perfect. It's a lot of fun competition to be here.
35:27Those drummers are great.
35:29Yeah. That's fantastic. That's just brilliant.
35:31And that is off the album Light Up The Dark, which is out now.
35:34Yes. Yes.
35:35I know what I'm doing. I know what I'm doing.
35:38So, and what's extraordinary is because you've kind of done all this by yourself,
35:43from the YouTube to your own label to now.
35:45Yeah, I accidentally set up a label when I was 15.
35:48And, yeah, and I was kind of releasing things independently.
35:52And then I got signed, and I was able to keep all my previous releases.
35:56That started making money that I wasn't allowed to use on myself.
35:59So I've started putting that into other artists,
36:01whilst continuing my thing and painting myself with glitter.
36:04No, you look very nice.
36:06I don't feel very sophisticated anymore.
36:12You're a pop star. You're supposed to look like that.
36:14Yeah.
36:15And the album, the, I'll say it again, Light Up The Dark.
36:18Keep saying it.
36:19Yeah, are you touring the album?
36:20Yes, so I'm touring the UK and Ireland in, kind of, January, February time.
36:25Okay. I'm just looking over there, and I'm thinking, that's quite the big boss.
36:28Yeah. I just take Johnny, the lone drummer.
36:30Oh, the good one?
36:31Yeah, the good one, yeah.
36:32I'm joking.
36:33You're all amazing.
36:34You're all marvellous. He's just better.
36:35Thank you very much for coming to see us.
36:36Thank you so much.
36:37Thank you so much.
36:38Thank you so much.
36:39Thank you so much.
36:40Thank you so much.
36:41Thank you so much.
36:42And good luck to everyone.
36:43Gabrielle Aplin.
36:44There you go.
36:45Okay.
36:46Before we go, just time for a visit to the big red chair.
36:50Who's there?
36:51Hello.
36:52Hello, nice lady.
36:53Hi, Greg.
36:54How are you?
36:55Love you.
36:56You're hugely popular in the audience.
36:57What's your name?
36:58Susan.
36:59Susan.
37:00I'm here now.
37:01I live in London.
37:02Okay.
37:03What do you do, Susan?
37:04I'm a professional driver.
37:05A professional driver of a...
37:06Vehicle.
37:07If you need a vehicle moving, Susan can do it.
37:12Yeah.
37:13Would there be people or things in the vehicle?
37:15Anything.
37:16Anything at all.
37:17It's a mystery to Susan.
37:18She never looks back.
37:19She just drives.
37:21Oh, and we'll see you later.
37:23Oh, and we'll never recognize the back of your head, so we'll never know.
37:32What's that, Susan?
37:33Don't know.
37:34All right.
37:35Off with one of your tales, Susan, of your life on the road.
37:39Okay.
37:40About three years ago, I was a special constable in the Metropolitan School.
37:43You've lived, Susan, I tell you.
37:45Okay, yes.
37:46And we were sat in our vehicle and we saw...
37:49She loves a vehicle.
37:50We saw a guy in a white van not wearing his seatbelt, so myself and my colleague, we
37:56signaled to him with a hand gesture, please put your seatbelt on.
37:59Your story could end there, but...
38:08It gets better.
38:09Oh, it gets better.
38:10Okay, go.
38:11She looked at us with a very disgruntled face and went...
38:15So we were a bit baffled, so he followed him, pulled him over, and we said,
38:19Do you realize you just want two police officers?
38:21Why did you do that?
38:22He said, Well, you called me a wanker first.
38:24Then you...
38:27Anyway, we let him off, put your seatbelt off, and off he went.
38:30He was a happy chap.
38:31Oh, very good.
38:32Well done, Susan.
38:33Even more.
38:34Come on.
38:35Yeah.
38:36Yeah.
38:37Yeah.
38:38Yeah.
38:39It could have stopped at the seatbelt, but we didn't really need the bottle over there.
38:43Yeah, that was the best bit.
38:45Yeah, it was very visual as well.
38:47Okay, who's up next?
38:48Hello, sir.
38:49Hello, Graham.
38:50Hi, what's your name?
38:51Andrew.
38:52Andrew.
38:53You're from New Zealand, Andrew?
38:54No, originally from the UK, but moved to Australia about six years ago.
38:57Okay, okay.
38:58You know, he's really picked up the accent, hasn't he?
39:00He has.
39:01He's only six.
39:02And...
39:03So...
39:0438.
39:05And...
39:06But...
39:07You still live in Australia?
39:08Yes, with my wife.
39:09Oh, he's got a wife.
39:10Alright, back off everybody.
39:11I saw you all looking at him like a piece of meat.
39:15How is that of you?
39:16No, he's married.
39:17He's got a wife.
39:18Totally married.
39:19He lives with her.
39:20I'm sorry, Andrew.
39:21Go on with your story.
39:22Well, so I'd moved out to Australia and...
39:23We know that!
39:24To be with my wife.
39:25Alright, we know that!
39:26And we were staying with her parents at the time and they had a dog and two cats and
39:38one of those cats happened to be my wife's favourite and the cat favoured her too.
39:42And she used to sleep in bed with us and she used to sleep at the top of the bed and
39:46on the pillow next to her head.
39:48And one night we were sleeping and...
39:50No!
39:51No!
39:52No!
39:53No!
39:54I like that!
39:55I am!
39:56No one wanted to hear the rest of that story.
40:01No.
40:02I was saving him from himself.
40:04He can't destroy you.
40:05No.
40:06I want to hear him.
40:07No, it's...
40:08Bring him back!
40:09No!
40:10No!
40:11No!
40:12No!
40:13No!
40:14No!
40:15No!
40:16No!
40:17No!
40:18No!
40:19No!
40:20No!
40:21Alright.
40:22Okay, now this is by royal command.
40:24Nicole Kidman asked for this.
40:26So you better be good.
40:27Make it good.
40:28Off you go.
40:29So, better just say.
40:30We got as far as the cats on the pillow.
40:31Cool.
40:32So the cats on the pillow, we're sleeping away.
40:33It's nice and dandy.
40:34And the next thing we're woken up by a dry, retching sound like .
40:38And the cat is so good.
40:39So good, so I woke up and you know my half-sleep days gave it a little stretch a bit of a yawn and then next thing
