00:58How about we begin with some super tips from some super ladies.

01:02First of all, Emma B.

01:04My name's Emma B and I'm running the London Marathon for the first time.

01:10And my super tip is if you're pooing your pants, it's OK.

01:13We're all pooing our pants.

01:17And I've heard that you can actually poo your pants on race day as well.

01:23It's true.

01:24That is actually true.

01:25Happens all the time.

01:27Nice one, Emma.

01:27All right.

01:28Here comes super tip number two.

01:30I'm Briony Gordon and I've run the London Marathon four times.

01:37And my top marathon tip is enjoy the fact that the London Marathon is one of the few socially

01:43acceptable places in the world where it is encouraged to take Vaseline off a stranger.

01:48Yay!

01:50And by the way, come and see me if you need any extra.

01:54I always take loads.

01:57Super tip number three.

02:58It's a letter from Jolly Jill in Hammerhill.

03:01Yay!

03:02Jill says, hey Chris.

03:04I love it.

03:31Thank you very much.

03:31Bless you for saying that Jill from Hammerhill wanted me back.

03:34Because I know she doesn't exist.

03:35No, she doesn't exist.

03:36But everybody does want you back anyway.

03:37That is a fact.

03:38OK, what pub genie should you have for us today?

03:40Well for that Chris, you're going to have to wait for part two at our Paul McCartney pub.

03:44How come?

03:45How come?

03:45How come we got away?

03:46What's going on?

03:46Because I thought first we'd play a game of our favourite old gummies to play all the

03:51time, TFI Trumps.

03:52Yeah!

03:53Alright, deal, deal, alright.

03:55OK.

04:33Frankie's still got it.

04:34But 1-0 to me.

04:35OK.

04:35I'm going to go for the girl who cries milk.

04:39Ooh!

04:40Very good.

04:41I'll go Noel Gallagher's mad chat in my flat.

04:45Yay!

04:46Fun factor, 81.

04:4895.

04:4990!

04:50Yay!

04:52Welcome to the show.

04:52What's your name?

04:53My name's Lindsay Houston.

04:54And where are you from, Lindsay Houston?

04:55I'm from Gosport.

04:56And you are?

04:57How old?

04:58I am 15.

04:5915 years old.

05:00So it's Lindsay from Gosport.

05:00She's 15 years old.

05:01Gosport near Portsmouth.

05:02Yeah, that's right.

05:04Woo!

05:05And you brought your friends with you on a minibus of some sort.

05:08Oh, lovely.

05:09So tell us, when did you first start crying milk?

05:11What happened?

05:12About two years ago.

05:13I went around my friend Sarah's house.

05:15Yeah.

05:15And we were just playing around with milk.

05:18Playing around with milk?

05:20Yeah.

05:21Cool.

05:21And I took it up my nose, she made me laugh and it came out of my eyes.

05:26And now you can do it whenever you want to?

05:27I can.

05:28Okay, now I've seen this once and I saw it on Wednesday on videotape.

05:31We've rehearsed it three times and I've not been able to watch it once.

05:33So if you're of a screamish disposition here or at home, don't look because it will make

05:38you chunder.

05:39Alright?

05:40Are you ready?

05:40I am.

05:41Okay, Lindsay will now cry milk.

05:58That's enough, that's enough.

06:00That's enough.

06:12You're alright?

06:13Oh, my gosh.

06:15The girl who cried, how great was she?

06:17Real name, Lindsay Houston.

06:18She lives now in Sydney and is very happily married to an Australia.

06:23All right, the decider.

06:24Are you ready for the decider?

06:25Yep.

06:25OK, my go.

06:26What about the wooden bird with purple hair?

06:29Oh, classic.

06:30Oh, I think I've nailed this one.

06:32I've got the thing that everybody wants to see,

06:34which is you being thrown out of a window.

06:37Can't argue with that.

06:39Well, there's the thumbs up.

06:40Chris will be on.

06:50All right, Will wins 2-1.

06:53Are you coming back in part two?

06:54I am.

06:54The Paul McCartney Park.

06:55He's back in the Paul McCartney Park with Pub Junior.

07:00Does anyone know if we're all single?

07:03We all love, actually, our next guest.

07:06So much so that it feels like he's part of my family.

07:09He's returning once again as our favourite detective in Beyond Paradise,

07:12which continues on Fridays on the BBC,

07:15because we're all partial for a bit of Chris Marshall.

07:28Are you loving this as much as you're loving Aston Villa at the moment?

07:314-3 last weekend.

07:32Yay!

07:34One more win in Champions League.

07:36The Champignons League is in the bag.

07:38Come on!

07:39Where did you watch the match last weekend?

07:41Last weekend, I watched the match in my house last weekend.

07:45Yeah.

07:46It was a seven-goal thriller, wasn't it?

07:47It was a seven-goal thriller.

07:49And you were down in the dumps.

07:52Didn't they write you a letter or something?

07:53Oh, when I had my accident?

07:54Yeah.

07:55Yeah, yeah.

07:55I'm actually recovering from an accident right now, actually.

07:57I know.

07:57I saw you just take a sling off.

07:59It's like, is that a prop?

08:01Is that a...

08:01No, it was a slight skiing mishap,

08:03which is probably the most middle-class thing I've ever said in my life.

08:06Yeah, there are other middle-class phrases that are available,

08:09but that's pretty much up there.

08:09I've got to be honest.

08:10Broken collarbone, two places.

08:12So what happened with you and the accident and the letter from Villa?

08:15So, yeah.

08:15So I had an accident in Bristol about 20, nearly 20 years ago.

08:19Right.

08:20Got hit by a car.

08:21Yeah, these things sort of happened to me.

08:23I don't know why.

08:28And they sent me this wonderful card signed by all the players and the manager.

08:32And it was a superb thing.

08:34And I go up all the time and see them.

08:36And I just love Villa.

08:38Of course you do.

08:39It's such a lovely club.

08:40Yeah, they are a lovely club.

08:41They do so, so well at the moment.

08:42So a skiing accident, a recent skiing accident.

08:45Looks like a shoulder thing.

08:47Yeah, a broken shoulder.

08:48A broken shoulder?

08:49Yeah, I broke my collarbone.

08:50We're in two places.

08:51Okay.

08:51Two places.

08:52Have you been skiing twice?

08:57One in Meribah and one in Meribah.

08:59Yeah, yeah, yeah.

09:00Okay.

09:01Beyond Paradise is back.

09:02It's doing great business yet again.

09:04Here we are in season four.

09:05Come on, Beyond Paradise.

09:07I'll just clap with one hand, if that's all right.

09:10Yeah.

09:11What's the sound of one hand clapping?

09:12That is actually the sound of one hand clapping.

09:14One hand clapping.

09:14All right.

09:16And is it fair to say that in the most recent episode, just gone, you had the least bad baddie?

09:21Or the least bad baddie?

09:23Would that be fair enough?

09:24What would I say again?

09:24The least bad baddie?

09:25Yeah, because the mermaid.

09:28Oh, yeah, the least bad baddie.

09:29Yeah.

09:30Isn't that fair enough?

09:31That's like a, yeah, yeah, that was the least bad baddie.

09:34I would say so, wouldn't you?

09:35Yeah, the mermaid.

09:36The mermaid.

09:36They're not bad baddies, are they?

09:38Yeah, well, I'm...

09:39Well, they live in a lair, so...

09:42Has anybody ever met a mermaid they don't like?

09:44I don't think so.

09:45I don't know.

09:46I don't know.

09:47Mermaids, I mean, they get a good rap, I think.

09:48Yeah, they do.

09:49They do.

09:50Beyond Paradise is all about its setting, its location, it's, you know, it's sort of the

09:56weird and wonderfulness that is the West Country.

09:58Yeah.

09:58And the coast and the wild savagery of the coast.

10:01So why wouldn't you have mermaids?

10:02We have mermaids, we have green men.

10:04Yeah.

10:04We have little green men.

10:06Yeah.

10:06We have writers who are topping themselves in the bath.

10:11That's not very West Country, but, you know, I mean, we cover all bases.

10:15You've landed loose today, haven't you?

10:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.

10:17Don't shake the arm, Chris, too much.

10:18Oh, my God.

10:19It's that arm.

10:20It is the arm, yeah.

10:21Oh, my God.

10:22I'm so sorry.

10:23I'm so sorry.

10:24Someone came up to me.

10:25Oh, my gosh.

10:26Someone came up to me in the pub yesterday and they went, yesterday they came up to me in

10:29the pub and they went, oh!

10:31I was like, oh, amazing.

10:33So it could have been worse.

10:35It's all good.

10:35It could have been worse.

10:36It could have been worse.

10:37You got married recently.

10:38Congratulations.

10:40Oh, in the show.

10:41Yes!

10:43I did.

10:44Yes.

10:44You're on to talk about Beyond Paradise.

10:47I had to talk about Beyond Paradise, not my bad shoulder.

10:49Yeah, yeah.

10:49Or my wife of 15 years.

10:51Yeah, no, no.

10:52This is a different.

10:52My new wife, my screen wife.

10:55It's a different situation.

10:56Wonderful wedding.

10:58Obviously had the wonderful Don Warrington.

11:00Yeah.

11:01As my best man.

11:02And, yeah, superb.

11:04Do you watch old cop shows?

11:06Is it true that you are huge fans of old cop shows and you try to sort of, you know.

11:12Yeah.

11:12So them into the tapestry that is Beyond Paradise.

11:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.

11:16So I was a huge fan of shows growing up like The Rockford Files.

11:20Yeah.

11:21I know it's technically not a cop.

11:22He's a private investigator.

11:23But Jim Rockford.

11:24Yeah.

11:25Columbo.

11:25Marple.

11:26Barnaby Jones.

11:27Do you know Barnaby Jones?

11:28No, I can't remember Barnaby Jones.

11:29Yeah.

11:30A bit before your time, maybe.

11:33Looking good.

11:34Take that.

11:35A bit before my time as well.

11:37Oh, all right.

11:38But he, so I like to sort of like encompass, pay homages to all those cops that I loved growing

11:44up and movies I loved.

11:48You know, I put in little homages all over the place like to Withnell and I and movies,

11:53The Great Escape and stuff like that.

11:54I just love sort of imbuing my performance with those because every day you come in, you've

12:00got to try something new.

12:01Try, you want to keep it fresh.

12:03You are fresh, man.

12:04Well, I'm trying to keep fresh.

12:05You seem, you seem to be sort of relaxing into the more, the most scatty version of yourself

12:13I've ever experienced.

12:14And let's face it.

12:15Sketchy or scatty?

12:16Both in a way.

12:17Do you know what I mean?

12:18You seem to be sort of really free.

12:21I'm sort of loving where I am at the moment.

12:23Good for you, mate.

12:25Have you, have you been asked to go on Traitors?

12:28No.

12:28Come on, you must have been.

12:30Wow.

12:31No.

12:32Would you go on if you were asked?

12:33No.

12:33No?

12:34Have you been asked on any of those kind of shows?

12:36Yeah, yeah, yeah.

12:37Can you give us the top three?

12:38Yeah, strictly, strictly and strictly.

12:40Yeah.

12:41Wow.

12:42Beyond Paradise is great, right?

12:43And it's, I think it's all the greater for the fact that you are like you are, right?

12:48Because it's a square peg in a round hole and that's fun, isn't it?

12:51That's punk in itself.

12:53And it's quite a mad little show.

12:55It is.

12:55And I love it, yeah.

12:57Do you think it could get a lot?

12:58I mean, we're in season four now.

12:59Yeah.

13:00Why don't, when five, six, seven, you know, that's probably where it's going to be and

13:05where it's going to go and you'll all be happy at the end of maybe six series.

13:09Do you think they could really stir it up in season five?

13:12Just get it.

13:13Well, season five, we're about to start shooting season five.

13:15All right, well, put it in the NutriBullet and have all the fun with it.

13:18Go on, I dare you.

13:19Yeah, okay.

13:19What do you think?

13:20Well, I mean, how long can a marriage last?

13:23I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

13:26I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.

13:28Do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you, do you,

13:29do you,

13:29You're so not kidding.

13:30I'm absolutely through, I'm not going to give away spoilers.

13:32I don't know, they haven't written it yet.

13:34Um, it sounds like you do know, it sounds like they have.

13:36Um, do you ever get, do you ever try and, try and wheedle things in, um, that,

13:41that you like doing?

13:42I mean, like, would, would he go to Aston Villa?

13:47Uh, I mean, I would love to get that in the show.

13:49You've got to try.

13:50It's a long way from, uh, Plymouth though.

13:52Well, it wasn't that far from Bath.

13:53No, no, no.

13:56You might be joking if he's not your thing, Chris.

13:58No, no, no, no, it's not.

14:00Geography's not my thing.

14:01Um, it's, um, I don't know, um, I'm always like, let's get us a surfing episode.

14:08Yeah.

14:08We haven't had one of those yet.

14:09Yeah.

14:09All right, so it's, but you're not, I mean, you've got to be careful.

14:12So you can't swim, you can't run, I would imagine, at the moment.

14:14You can't surf at the moment.

14:15Can't do anything at the moment.

14:16Can't do anything at the moment.

14:17Apart from, give great interview on this show.

14:21Let's hear it for Chris Marshall.

14:24Never disappointing.

14:25Beyond Paradise continues to be on the BBC.

14:27We're on season four.

14:28It's great.

14:29People love it.

14:30People watch it in their millions.

14:31Once again, Chris Marshall, Beyond Paradise.

14:36Surfer, swimmer, runner.

14:37Just not at the moment.

14:38No, no.

14:40There you go.

14:40Just no skiing.

14:42No skiing.

14:44Still to come, Paul McCartney, but first some more TFI gold from NXS.

14:51All you've got is this moment.

14:56Turn of us, I just used to die.

15:00You can carry on the wall.

15:05Hey!

15:09I need you tonight.

15:14Because I'm not sleeping.

15:18There's something about you now.

15:22It makes me smile.

15:25In excess.

15:26Wow.

15:27In excess on TFI Friday.

15:28Loose of TFI gold on YouTube.

15:30Just like a TFI and you'll see it all.

15:31And by the way, the first nine episodes of this show, TFI Unplugged, are available on YouTube.

15:36World Pub Geniuses, bye!

15:39This all looks very sophisticated.

15:41This is your normal set up in a pub.

15:43Yeah, of course it is.

15:44Most pubs have this ready to play.

15:47All right.

15:47What are you claiming to be able to do here?

15:48Well, I'm claiming I will be able to put these four eggs into those pints without touching anything with my

15:55hands.

15:55Can't be done!

16:01Oh, come on!

16:04Non-believers.

16:05Can be done.

16:07Drum roll, please.

16:08All right.

16:10Not too hard.

16:11No, no, no, no, no.

17:05Oh, we've had a review in The Guardian.

17:08This cosy yet hectic revival just about justifies its inexpensive existence.

17:15We've had worse.

17:16We'll take it.

17:18All right.

17:19Next time for something very special.

17:21My next guest is the one and only Paul McCartney.

17:30All right.

17:44All right.

17:48Oh, my God.

17:54Oh, my God.

18:07Now, Paul, Paul, on your new album, you've played most of the instruments yourself.

18:13I play a lot of them, yeah.

18:14OK.

18:14And you're a great drummer, apparently.

18:16Well, I do a bit, you know, on the sly.

18:18Can you do this?

18:19Can you do this?

18:20Can you do this?

18:21Oh!

18:24That's not called for in many of the songs which I've been doing.

18:28Can you do it?

18:29Can I do it?

18:29No.

18:30Go on, go.

18:32Yeah!

18:34He knew!

18:35He knew he could do it!

18:36Near it.

18:37Now, look, we've had some friends faxes with some questions, and these are the genuine faxes.

18:42We're going to show them on the screen just to prove it to you.

18:43If you want the proof, there you are.

18:45And the first question is from Bono.

18:48Bono's faxes from America.

18:50We've asked all these people, if they could ask Paul one question, what would it be?

18:52And here's the fax from Bono.

18:54It says, Paul, when I hear someone else's great song, I feel both elated and sick as a pig that

18:59I didn't write it.

19:00Do you ever feel the same way from Bono?

19:03Uh, yeah, sometimes.

19:05Not really sick as a pig.

19:06I'm slightly jealous.

19:08And is there any one song that you thought, oh, that I'd like?

19:10Yeah, you know that Billy Joe one?

19:12Don't go changing.

19:14Do-dee-doo.

19:16I thought that was very good meself.

19:18All right, that's Bono's.

19:20Sean Ryder faxed us with a question.

19:22Sean Ryder.

19:24Sean's question is, what were you on when you wrote the frog chorus?

19:28Now, that's Sean's question, not mine.

19:29Okay?

19:30Yeah.

19:31I was smoking pipes and drinking wine late at night, but, you know, it was inspirational, I thought.

19:39Okay.

19:39All right.

19:40Well, that's Sean's question.

19:41What were you on?

19:42Question for Sir Paul McCartney from Richard and Judy, this one.

19:46Here it is.

19:47Genuine facts.

19:48Why are you on TFI Friday and not this morning?

19:53It's a much cooler show.

20:00But we like them, not when we do.

20:02But we love them.

20:02We do love them, yeah.

20:03Now, I think this is an absolute cracker.

20:05From Robert Smith of The Cure.

20:07Dear Paul, have you ever made a crop circle?

20:10I've heard rumours that you're involved.

20:13Can you pass on any tips, as when I tried to do one in Wales recently, you went horribly wrong.

20:19Yeah, well, Robert, love.

20:22What you have to do, you lie in a field, and your feet must be at the centre of a

20:27circle,

20:27and you shuffle around a few times, and then big jumps out.

20:33Huge jumps.

20:34That's how I do it.

20:35Very big jumps, yeah.

20:36Skippy-like jumps.

20:36Very skippy, hippity-hoppity, out of the field, and ring the daily things.

20:41Alright.

20:42And get the photograph.

20:43Yeah.

20:43Have you ever had any crop circles in your part of the world?

20:46No, we don't get a lot down where I am.

20:48Are you Sussex or Kent?

20:50Sussex.

20:51Alright.

20:51You short?

20:52Yeah, I'm dead short.

20:53Oh.

20:54I thought you didn't count.

20:55I think so.

20:55George Best has faxed us.

20:57Hey.

20:59George says, I was once known as the fifth Beatle, where's my royalties percentage?

21:05Can you fax there he is?

21:07Yeah, it's in the post, George.

21:10Some delays due to Christmas.

21:11Okay.

21:13We've got another one here.

21:14And this is...

21:15Oh, you'll like this one.

21:16This is from Ringo Starr.

21:18Oh, really?

21:18No, really?

21:19Oh, really?

21:20It really is, from Starling Music Limited.

21:22Rocking.

21:23Alright.

21:24Ringo's question to Paul is, who is his favourite Beatle?

21:33That's not an easy one, Rinks.

21:37There's no answer, and he knows there's no answer to that.

21:40I love you all.

21:42Because Ringo's playing drums on the album, isn't he?

21:44He is, and he's gorgeous.

21:46Oh, beautiful, though.

21:46I do love him very, very much, but no favourites amongst my children.

21:50Okay.

21:52George is a bit weird, isn't he?

21:53No.

21:55No, he's very good, our George.

21:57He's lovely.

21:58He's lovely.

21:58He's out there, though, isn't he?

22:00No, not really.

22:01He is.

22:01No.

22:02No.

22:02He's done a great album with Ravi Shankar.

22:05Is he?

22:06Yeah, it's very out there, but lovely.

22:07You heard it?

22:07Yeah, gorgeous.

22:08All good?

22:08Yeah, penultimate track cracker.

22:10Alright.

22:12Melinda Messenger.

22:14Yeah.

22:14Right.

22:15To Alex, she says, which is strange, but she doesn't.

22:18I just requested a question for Paul McCartney.

22:20If you could be in one of the bands that are around now, which band would it be?

22:25Oh, well, it would have been Nirvana, but no longer.

22:31Right.

22:32And now, who would it be?

22:35Joe Loss.

22:38I mean, no, you've got to go for it.

22:40Joe Loss.

22:40Alright, okay.

22:41Joe Loss, you're a great band.

22:42Alright, couple more.

22:43Ian Brodie.

22:44Ian Brodie of the Lightning Seeds, everyone.

22:46Sir Paul, he says here.

22:48Yes.

22:48Which footy team, red or blue?

22:50He doesn't know, apparently.

22:51Blue!

22:52Blue!

22:53Blue!

22:53Long story, long story, because I claim both of them.

22:56Which isn't really allowed, I know, but my dad was born in Everton.

23:01Right.

23:02So I'm officially Everton, but they don't do very well.

23:05Liverpool do, and I love Liverpool too, so I'm having them both.

23:08You're having them both.

23:09But I don't care.

23:10Right, Liverpool.

23:10Now, this is another cracker.

23:12Frank Carson, right?

23:13In Frank's handwriting, 26th of June, 97.

23:15Dear Paul, what was the ticket to ride for a bus, train or plane?

23:19And, ticket to ride, and why would you be sad if the girl that's driving you mad was

23:24going away?

23:25If she was driving you mad, you wouldn't, you'd be happy.

23:28It's very good, actually.

23:30Great question.

23:31That's a very good question.

23:32It's a cracker.

23:32Yeah, that is, yeah.

23:33It was a bus.

23:35Right.

23:35Actually, we were on, and the girl that was driving us mad at the time,

23:40we were getting away from her.

23:41We were very happy to get away from her.

23:42And I don't actually have an answer to that, Frank.

23:45But it's a good question.

23:46It's a heck of a question, yes.

23:48He knocked on my door once we were doing some show, he says,

23:51I just called to say I love you.

23:56Thank you, Paul.

23:57Our next guest, Superstar Time, is an amazing actor who's currently topping

24:01all the TV charts across the world with the number one show.

24:07The number one show in the world.

24:11Your friends and neighbours continues on Fridays on Apple TV,

24:14so let's have all the fun with Olivia Mars.

24:22Absolutely.

24:24How are you?

24:25A great success to teach you.

24:29What about this?

24:31Olivia Mars.

24:33The number one show in the world right now.

24:37How does it feel?

24:38It's really great.

24:40It's so, you know, whenever you do something, you put it out there, and a lot of times people

24:44say, like, no, we don't want this.

24:47And now for this show to be so well-received has been so exciting.

24:51Well-received.

24:52Number one.

24:53It's number one.

24:54You're in the number one show in the world.

24:57I heard that, yeah.

24:58Yeah, it's so cool, isn't it?

25:00It's so cool.

25:01So you're here.

25:02You're working because you're doing this with me.

25:03But also Hubby's here.

25:04He's working.

25:05Yeah, I'm really here because he's here.

25:07And we said, like, can we go and meet you and come on and do this?

25:10Oh, that's nice.

25:12So for people who don't know, Olivia is married to Tilly's favorite comedian in the world,

25:18literally in the world, John Mulaney.

25:20And he played the Palladium on Saturday.

25:22Yeah, two nights in a row.

25:23Two nights in a row.

25:23Gosh, and I'll tell you, I was there the last night and the British, like, audience is incredible.

25:32Like, everyone is so energized and it's just an incredible...

25:36In fact, I was sitting up in one of those, what are those seats, you know?

25:39Boxes.

25:41We don't have work.

25:43And there's a guy sitting next to me and he was just, like, slapping his knee and just laughing.

25:47And I got, like, a tickle in my throat at one point.

25:50And I start coughing.

25:52And I start coughing and I can't really stop.

25:54And he just looks over and he goes, go outside.

25:58He's like, I'm so sorry.

25:59What, respect for the act?

26:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.

26:01He was like, respect for his laughing.

26:02He wanted to just, like, get me out of the way.

26:04And you were sort of caught between rock and a hard place because he was saying the right thing.

26:08But it's like, it's my husband.

26:09Don't worry, I'm respecting him.

26:10I respect him all the time.

26:11I love my husband.

26:12And I haven't seen his set yet.

26:14I haven't seen any of this tour yet.

26:16Yeah.

26:16So I wanted to be able to see every joke.

26:18And I had to run out and, like, gag and then come back.

26:23And he's, well, he was doing the same on stage but in a different way.

26:26Yeah.

26:27But is he still funny then, officially, your husband?

26:29He's still funny.

26:30He's still funny.

26:31Woo!

26:32Woo!

26:32John gets loads of mentions in interviews like this with you.

26:35And I love it.

26:36Of course.

26:36And also, you know, he's very well-known in his own right and you're very happily married

26:40and it's all fun.

26:41And it's...

26:41But actually, the person that gets the most mentions, almost more mentions than whatever

26:45you're on to talk about, like your friends and neighbours, is Malcolm, young Malcolm.

26:48Yeah.

26:49Who seems to be a 40-year-old man in a four-year-old's body.

26:54You know, so he's got this vernacular that makes me feel so insecure.

27:00Like, he goes, like, the other day he said, he has this, the way that he phrases it is

27:07like this.

27:07I'll come in and I'll have made him something, like, that I'm trying to make from scratch.

27:12And he goes, did you think I would want this?

27:16And I'm like, no, I mean, I just, I'm not, no.

27:21You know, and he's like, and then he'll come in when we're, I'm like, sit down watching

27:24TV with him.

27:24He'll look at me and go, did you, did you think I wanted you to sit with me?

27:28And I'm like, no, I just, I didn't even see you were there.

27:31I mean, I just like, oh, you're here.

27:33Okay.

27:33Oh, Malcolm, how you doing?

27:35Yeah.

27:35It's always like, did you think that I would like that?

27:38Wonderful to have you here.

27:39Your friends and neighbours.

27:40Let's just talk about these houses.

27:42They're mad.

27:42These houses are crazy, aren't they?

27:44There was this one home where we shot this year and it's massive.

27:50And, um, they've been trying to sell it, but they, the economy is different even for

27:55really wealthy people.

27:56And everyone's just a bit different in how they're buying stuff.

27:59But he, um, it was, it was like a bowling alley and the basketball court and a movie

28:04theater is so massive and they've been trying to sell it.

28:07And this owner was there on set and started screaming at everybody.

28:12He started, I was like, wait, what has happened?

28:14I came down and he was screaming and he's a really big guy.

28:17And I went right up to him and I was like, Hey, what are you doing?

28:21Stop yelling at our crew.

28:22I don't understand what's happening.

28:23And he was like, well, people are, are on my floors and, um, and they're supposed to

28:27stay on the carpet.

28:28And I was like, why did you rent out your home to us?

28:31Like you're insane.

28:32He was like, well, it's also so loud in my, my office is upstairs.

28:35And I go, if you can own this house and you don't have an office somewhere else,

28:40that seems strange.

28:42And then later, and you know, like sometimes those big guys are such like, they're just

28:46so meek.

28:46And I think that he was not ready for someone to call him out on it.

28:50It was so crazy.

28:51He was yelling at like our, our background actors.

28:54And I thought this is, this is so crazy.

28:55And then he was like, he got really sheepish and his wife came over and she's like, he wants

28:59to apologize.

28:59He's like, I'm sorry.

29:02And, um, yeah.

29:03And you know what he was wearing?

29:04This is not a joke.

29:05He was wearing, um, keep calm and carry on.

29:08Yeah.

29:09And I was like, Hmm.

29:11Dice.

29:12Yeah.

29:13But also in those neighborhoods, we've had to, if you look at this season, we've had

29:17to like find new homes and have new reasons.

29:19Like someone sold their home.

29:20Let's move on.

29:21Because these really wealthy neighborhoods, one person is like, they, they love our show

29:25or they want to do it.

29:26So they're like, yeah, we're going to rent out our, our home.

29:28And then all the neighbors are really mad because these really wealthy people are like,

29:32we don't care that you guys are on TV.

29:34Like don't be in our neighborhood.

29:36But somebody does let us and it creates a lot of problems for us.

29:40There's a show behind the show, isn't there?

29:41In a way.

29:42They're very mad.

29:43Does anybody do any of that kind of filming around?

29:46Yeah.

29:46You'd think that we would have thought of that.

29:49Season three, bring it on.

29:52Would you be around or not?

29:54Yes.

29:54I'm there.

29:55She's there.

29:56All right.

29:57And is it all the fun?

29:58Is it a fun gang?

30:00It is a really fun gang.

30:01It looks like you're having, it sort of comes across like you might be having all the

30:04fun.

30:04Yeah, it's really great.

30:05And, you know, last year we had James Marsden come on and this year we have Michelle Monaghan.

30:09So I'm really excited about it because I'm such a fan of hers as well.

30:12And, and the season two does end on a cliffhanger.

30:18I can say that.

30:19I can say that because I heard Jon Hamm say that on a panel the other day.

30:22And I was like, we're allowed to say that?

30:24If the Hamm can say it.

30:25Yeah, yeah.

30:25So now I'm saying it.

30:26All right.

30:27Well, thanks for coming to see us.

30:28Is it done now?

30:28Yeah.

30:29Is that okay?

30:30We do.

30:31We don't have to be done.

30:32We don't have to be done.

30:34I mean, you stole food in your career earlier on.

30:37You can steal anything from here if you like.

30:38It doesn't matter.

30:39Take home.

30:39For real?

30:40Yeah.

30:41What would Jon like?

30:42The camera.

30:43The camera.

30:44You always steal the camera when you turn through or not.

30:46Yeah.

30:47Let's leave it there.

30:48Olivia Merlin's been with us.

30:50The Old Friends and Neighbors continues.

30:51It's the number one show in the world on Apple TV.

30:53It's on all the time.

30:54Watch it.

30:55You won't regret it.

30:55Once again, Olivia.

30:59Still to come.

31:00Hard five, but first.

33:42the taping?

33:42Mm-hmm. Well, is it in the pub? Okay, well

33:46We're thinking about doing it in a pub to be honest. Well, it's sort of this wacky little thing

33:50I have going on and I can tell you about if you want okay, what is it? Okay?

33:53I have a tour which begins on February 14th Valentine's Day and

33:57Did you see the video by any chance where I'm fighting the black-haired evil bad evil twin that I

34:03have?

34:03We've got it. Do you want me to play it for you?

34:05Oh sure got it that way we can explain what we're talking about. Yeah, okay. Well, watch this we've got

34:08this for you right now, okay?

34:15I

34:16I

34:17I

34:22I

34:29I

34:30I

34:31Did all my own stunts and I was very bruised the next day, but that's besides the point

34:34Okay, now that we know about that what I'm taping tonight is footage for my

34:39Tour which includes that girl the evil Mariah who is called Bianca she's from Britain actually

34:45And she doesn't like me at all she hates me. But if she's played by you though

34:49Well, I mean that's a minor detail

34:51But she is hosting my tour so I don't know what's gonna happen because she's very temperamental

34:57You know she has a lot of um

35:00Issues. Does she want to come on the lash with us?

35:01I think you might like Bianca better

35:03Okay, better than you you might okay? Well, I can have Bianca where this can have you okay?

35:09But there'll only be three of us

35:14So you're gonna film all night then?

35:16Uh probably okay, so you can't come out well, we might maybe we can stop by where you're gonna be

35:20well

35:21You can't say that can we're just around? No, we swarmed. No, we never get swarmed people don't don't like

35:26us very much

35:28So you're here for how long in Britain? Oh probably another few hours

35:32So I get on the plane and go somewhere else. I don't even know where I'm going

35:34But I thought you were still in Germany. Are you not staying here for a while for your tour?

35:37I'm not I'm coming back for the tour first. I have to go oh all over LA

35:42What promoting or touring um getting ready for the tour, but prior to getting ready for the tour working out

35:47no rehearsing

35:48I don't even know what I'm doing yet. You don't know that's another minor detail

35:51When is the tour? It's February the 14th

35:53Yeah, and you've not figured out I like to wing things

35:56We like to wing things, don't we?

35:58Spontaneous

35:58Oh yes madam

36:00So when you come back here for the tour how many nights will you be here for?

36:03Uno

36:04Just one?

36:05Yeah

36:06It's kind of called one night only

36:08Well the reason is because I'm filming a movie

36:10In May

36:11Yeah because you're an actress now aren't you?

36:13Well darling I think I always have been haven't I?

36:15Oh we always have been

36:19So when you come back for that one night

36:22Have you got anywhere nice to stay?

36:25Um like someone's house?

36:26Yeah it's always better to stay at a friend's house than live in a hotel

36:29It is more comfortable

36:30It is more comfortable at a home but I don't have anyone who's offered me their home so

36:35Well

36:37Never mind I'll stay in a hotel then

36:38Okay

36:39Shut up

36:40What are you going to do?

36:41You seem to me like nowadays when you started off

36:43Uh huh

36:43You didn't take yourself very seriously but I'm not saying that but you did

36:46You were different and now you seem like you're just having good fun

36:49Would that be right?

36:50That would be an accurate observation

36:52Yeah?

36:52In fact

36:52So where was the fun hiding then?

36:54Oh it was hiding inside me but I was not allowed to let it out you see

36:58By whom?

36:58Oh certain people

37:01Any one particular person?

37:02Oh well I shouldn't say that because it would be politically incorrect

37:05Your ex-husband?

37:06Oh I wouldn't go that far

37:09Oh I still have a few more singles to put out

37:11Oh okay

37:12Yeah

37:12Cause he was the boss of the company wasn't he?

37:14Well he still is

37:15Is he?

37:15Is he? Oh god I'm sorry

37:22Our next guest is your new favourite actor and she really is

37:25She's starring in the new drama Mint which is out now on BBC One and also on the BBC iPlayer

38:05Well I've seen eight Frank alright I've seen all eight

38:07It's eight three to me to the old guy

38:08Also this is crazy cause I used to listen to you every morning when I went to school

38:11You poor thing

38:13Yeah

38:13So overstimulating

38:15I just keep looking at this desk with all these like signatures

38:18Which keep getting rubbed off

38:19We're gonna get we're gonna sort we're gonna sort this out

38:22You'll sign this in a bit Emma if you don't mind

38:23Oh my god I'd love to

38:24So I mean for lots of people you know you you you was it Variety Magazine

38:28They only said you want you're a Brit to watch in 2021 or 2022

38:31Oh I didn't say well I probably said that

38:33No no Variety I think Variety Magazine or Hollywood Reports

38:35I mean somebody said it and they were right and we're still watching you you know

38:38And as always the best is yet to come from the best no matter how good they've done it

38:42The best is always yet to come with you and I just suspect and I don't know because I don't

38:46know you

38:46That you you're probably quite good at a lot of things and you've just landed on acting

38:50Do you know you know I mean I wanted to be a musician when I was a kid

38:53I knew that I knew this

38:55And I purposely haven't checked

38:57I just I just knew

38:58Like through and through I'm a I was like an indie

39:01Oh, I'm an indie rock and roll girl

39:03Like I just I grew up having jobs so that I could go and watch like Reverend and the Bakers

39:08in Sheffield

39:09You know like it was that was my thing

39:10Do you sing and play guitar?

39:11I do a little bit I play guitar quite poorly and I always I'll always write

39:15Um, maybe maybe I'll do something with that

39:17But I you know, I was in bands when I was a teenager and I played the lead mill in

39:22Sheffield and then I

39:23Which was a massive moment

39:25Sounds cool

39:26And then I realized that I just found my footing with acting I think I tried I think I was

39:31alright a lot of things

39:32Yeah, yeah, so we haven't really said what the show is about

39:35Oh, go on

39:36No, you go off you go

39:37Oh, um, well, it's I describe it as like a Glaswegian Romeo and Juliet modern day

39:44Um, but also like it's a bit of a shocker when you watch it because it's just what charlie's done

39:49with the editing

39:50It's super nostalgic and beautiful and weird and there's really nothing nothing quite like great cars in it

39:55Um, some great cars or yeah. Oh, is there? Yeah. Oh, yeah, like the old ranger overs and stuff

40:00Yeah, well the one you drive the mercedes that's like where's that all like all I can think about is

40:04how difficult those cars are to drive

40:06Yeah, it's it's you it's not like my wife would agree with you, which is why I'm not allowed to

40:10have one anymore

40:11An old car so so there's there's how many how much should we give away?

40:14How much we say I suppose it is among I mean, that's what all the gang said. It's Romeo and

40:18Juliet. That's what it is

40:19Yeah, it's like a love story

40:20It reminds me of Twilight of when I don't know if you ever saw the Twilight film I didn't to

40:25be honest as a as a teenage girl

40:27I'm sure there's many girls listening that can relate. It's like yeah Twilight was so important to so many girls

40:35and

40:37It's all girls in control

40:40It's so good

40:41And I just hope that mint is what Twilight was for me to for some people, you know, and and

40:46why is mint coming?

40:47Because that's the only thing I'd I have no idea

40:50I think I was scared to ask you. Yeah, I think Charlie in an interview last week was like I

40:56just like the word

40:57mint like it's like when people use it as slang issues like it makes me think of green and I

41:01like green

41:03So I'm not sure but I reckon it's in the it's in the pipeline. We're gonna find out. Yeah, maybe

41:08there's a true hidden meaning
