00:04Hello, Michael.
00:05Hello, Chris.
00:06Are you ready?
00:08You know, to tell you the truth, I'm not, but come in anyway.
00:11I'm just about to put the kettle on.
00:12Thanks.
00:46Happy Friday! Happy Friday to you!
00:49And welcome to our Paul McCartney at Prince special.
00:53And good luck to anyone and everyone who's running the London Marathon this weekend.

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. That is actually true. Happens all the time.
01:26Nice one, Emma.
01:27All right. Here comes super tip number two.
01:30I'm Bryony 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 acceptable
01:43places 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.
01:56All right.
01:57Super tip number three.
01:59Hi, I'm Paula Radcliffe.

02:28CHEERING
02:30It's your letters, it's your letters.
02:33No, it's your letters, it's your letters.
02:38It's your letters, it's your letters.
02:42Well, maybe it is, maybe it is.
02:46Very good, very good.
02:49Thank you, New Order, for that It's Your Letters.
02:51And rumours in the news this week that New Order are getting back together.
02:54The Please God Let That Happen.
02:57All right, we do have a letter here.
02:59It's a letter from Jolly Jill in Hammerhill.
03:01Yay!
03:02Jill says, hey, Chris.
03:04I love you.
03:06You never get sick of it.
03:08You might, but we don't.
03:09Hey, Chris, Will was great last week.
03:10How about you get Will back again?
03:12Well, hey, let's do it for Jill in Hammerhill.
03:14Where there's Will, there's Wayne.
03:15Where there's Jill, there's Will.
03:16Hey!
03:26Hey, Will.
03:27Hey, Will.
03:28Hey, Will.
03:29Welcome to our Paul McCartney and Prince special.
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.
03:38Okay, what pub genius do you have for us today?
03:40Well, for that, Chris, you're going to have to wait for part two,
03:42our Paul McCartney pub.
03:44How 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.
03:52Yes!
03:53All right, deal, deal.
03:55All right.

04:33Yeah, pretty good.
04:33Frankie's still got it.
04:34But 1-0 to me.
04:35Okay.
04:35I'm going to go for the girl who cries milk.
04:39Oh.
04:40Very good.
04:41I'll go Noel Gallagher's mad chat in my flat.
04:45Oh.
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!
05:04Woo!
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, made me laugh, and it came out of my eyes.
05:26And now you can do it whenever you want to?
05:27I can.
05:28OK.
05:28Now 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.
05:34So if you're of a screamish disposition here or at home,
05:37don't look because it will make you chunder.
05:39All right?
05:40Are you ready?
05:41I am.
05:41OK, Lindsay will now cry milk.
05:43Let's go get a walk.
05:48Oh, my God.
05:58That's enough.
05:59That's enough.
06:00That's enough.
06:02That's enough.
06:02Thank you, thank you.
06:11You're right.
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.
06:26OK, my go.
06:26What about the wooden bird with purple hair?
06:29Oh, classy.
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 part.
06:55He's back in the Paul McCartney part with Pub Genius.
07:00Does anyone know if Will's single?
07:03We all love, actually, our next guest.
07:06So much so that it feels like he's part of my family.
07:10He'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.
07:39Come 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 I've revealed,
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 now.
08:19Right.
08:19Got hit by a car.
08:22Yeah, 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're doing 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.
08:50Two places.
08:51Okay, two places.
08:52Have you been skiing twice?
08:57One in Maribel and one in Maribel.
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.
09:15All right.
09:15So, and is it fair to say that in the most recent episode, just gone, you had the least
09:21baddie, or the least bad baddie.
09:23Would that be fair enough?
09:24Well, I'd say again, the least bad baddie.
09:25Yeah, because the mermaid.
09:28Oh, yeah, the least bad baddie.
09:29Yeah.
09:30Is that fair enough?
09:31It'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 mean.
09:40Well, they live in a lair.
09:41Yeah.
09:42So, um.
09:42Does anybody have a mermaid they don't like?
09:44I don't think so.
09:45I don't know.
09:46I don't know.
09:46I don't know.
09:47Mermaids, I mean, they get a good rap.
09:48Yeah, they do.
09:49They do.
09:50Beyond Paradise is all about its setting, its location.
09:53Yeah.
09:53It's, you know, it's, uh, it's sort of the weird and wonderfulness that is the West
09:57Country.
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, um, uh, uh, writers who are topping themselves in the bath.
10:11That's not very West Country, but, 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.
10:37Um, you got married recently.
10:38Congratulations.
10:39Yay!
10:40Oh, in the show.
10:41Yes!
10:43I did.
10:44Yes.
10:44You're on to talk about Beyond Paradise.
10:47I need 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.
10:53My screen wife.
10:55It's a different situation.
10:56Wonderful wedding.
10:57Um, obviously had, uh, the wonderful Don Warrington.
11:00Yeah.
11:01As, uh, as my best man.
11:02And, uh, yeah.
11:03Superb.
11:04Um, do 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.
11:12...sow them into the tapestry that is Beyond Paradise?
11:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:16So I was a huge fan of shows growing up, like, uh, The Rockford Files.
11:20Yeah.
11:21I know it's technically not a cop.
11:22He's a private investigator, but, you know, Jim Rockford.
11:25Yeah.
11:25Columbo, Marple, Barnaby Jones.
11:28Do you know Barnaby Jones?
11:28No, I can't remember Barnaby Jones.
11:29Yeah.
11:30A bit before your time, maybe.
11:31Uh...
11:33Looking good.
11:34Uh, no.
11:35A bit before my time as well, but, uh...
11:37Oh!
11:38All right.
11:38But, uh, he...
11:39So I like to sort of, like, encompass, pay homages to all those cops that I loved growing up.
11:45And, um, and movies I loved, you know, I put in little homages all over the place, like, to Withnell
11:51and I, and, uh, movies, The Great Escape, and stuff like that.
11:54I just love, uh, sort of imbuing my performance with those, because every day you come in, you've got to
12:00try something new.
12:01Try, you want to keep it fresh.
12:03You are fresh, man.
12:04Uh, well, I'm trying to keep fresh.
12:05You seem, you seem to be sort of, um, relaxing into the most scatty version of yourself I've ever experienced.
12:13So, and, 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.
12:25You know, it's...
12:25Have you, have you been asked to go on Traitors?
12:28No.
12:28Come on, you must have been.
12:30No.
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.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Beyond 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 is, 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.
12:56And 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...
13:00When five, six, seven, you know, that's probably where it's going to be and where it's going
13:06to 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, 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?
13:22No!
13:23I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
13:26I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
13:28Absolutely.
13:28You're so not kidding.
13:29You're so not kidding.
13:30Absolutely.
13:31I'm not going to give away spoilers.
13:32I don't know.
13:33They haven't written it yet.
13:34It sounds like you do know, it sounds like they have.
13:38Do you ever get, do you ever try and wheedle things in that you like doing?
13:42I mean, like, would he go to Aston Villa?
13:47I mean, I would love to get that in the show.
13:49You've got to try.
13:50It's a long way from 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.
14:02It's, I don't know.
14:04I'm always like, let's get us a surfing episode.
14:08Yeah.
14:08We haven't had one of those yet.
14:09Yeah.
14:10All right, 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.
14:29It's great.
14:29People love it.
14:30People watch it in their millions.
14:31Once again, Chris Marshall, Beyond Paradise.
14:35Surfer, swimmer, runner.
14:37Just not at the moment.
14:39No, apparently.
14:40Just no skiing.
14:42No skiing.
14:44Still to come, Paul McCartney, but first some more TFI gold from NXS.
14:50All you've got is this moment.
14:54All you've got is this moment.
14:5621 centuries yesterday.
14:59You can care all you want.
15:08I need you tonight.
15:14Because I'm not sleeping.
15:18There's something about you now.
15:23And it's this moment.
15:25In NXS.
15:27Wow.
15:27In NXS on TFI Friday.

15:30Just like a TFI and you'll see it all.
15:32And by the way, the first nine episodes of this show, TFI Unplugged, are available on YouTube.
15:36World Pub Geniuses by.
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 with, don't they?
15:47All right.
15:47What are you claiming to be able to do here?
15:49Well, 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.
15:56No!
15:58No!
15:58No!
16:00No!

16:05No!
16:07No!
16:07I'm going to take a drumroll please.

17:00He worked on the tour!
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. We'll take it.
17:18All right, let's have something very special.
17:21My next guest is the one and only...
17:24Paul McGartney!
17:48Oh, my God!
17:50Oh, my God!
17:50Oh, my God!
17:51Oh, my God!
17:54Oh, my God!
17:57Oh, my God!
18:01Oh, my God!
18:03Oh, my God!
18:05Oh, my God!
18:06Oh, my God!
18:06Oh, my God!
18:07Oh, my God!
18:07Now, Paul, Paul, on your new album, you've played most of the instruments yourself.
18:13Play a lot of them, yeah.
18:14OK.
18:14Yeah.
18:14And you're a great drummer, apparently.
18:16Well, I do a bit, you know, on the sly.
18:18Can you do this? Can you do this? Can you do this?
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? No.
18:30Go on, I'm good.
18:34He knew! He knew he could do it!
18:37Now, look, we've had some friends faxes with some questions,
18:40and 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,
18:52what would it be?
18:52And here's the fax from Bono.
18:54It says, Paul, when I hear someone else's great song,
18:57I feel both elated and sick as a pig that I didn't write it.
19:00Do you ever feel the same way from Bono?
19:04Yeah, sometimes.
19:05Not really sick as a pig. I'm slightly jealous.
19:08And is there only one song that you thought, oh, that I'd like?
19:10Yeah, you know that Billy Joe one, don't go changing?
19:13Yeah.
19:13Do-de-do-do.
19:16I thought that was very good, meself.
19:19All 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.
19:30OK?
19:30Yeah.
19:31I was smoking pipes and drinking wine late at night.
19:35But, you know, it was inspirational, I thought.
19:39OK.
19:39All right.
19:40Well, that's Sean's question.
19:41Probably you are.
19:42Question for Sir Paul McCartney from Richard and Judy.
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 what 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 were involved.
20:13Can you pass on any tips?
20:15As when I tried to do one in Wales recently,
20:17you went horribly wrong.
20:19Yeah, well, Robert, love.
20:22What you have to do, you lie in a field
20:24and your feet must be at the centre of a circle
20:27and you shuffle around a few times
20:30and then big jumps out.
20:33Huge jumps.
20:34That's how I do it.
20:35Very big jumps.
20:36Skippy-like jumps.
20:36Very skippy, hippity-hoppity,
20:38out of the field and ring the daily thing.
20:41All right.
20:42And get the photograph.
20:43Have you ever had any crop circles
20:45in 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.
20:51All right.
20:51You short?
20:52Yeah, I'm dead short.
20:54I thought you were in Kent.
20:55I think so.
20:55George Best, sphaxxed us.
20:59George says,
21:00I was once known as the fifth Beatle,
21:02where's my royalties percentage?
21:05Can you give a fax?
21:06There he is.
21:07Yeah, it's in the post, George.
21:10Some delays due to Christmas.
21:12Okay.
21:13We've got another one here.
21:14And this is, oh, you'll like this one.
21:16This is from Ringo Starr.
21:18Oh, really?
21:18No, really.
21:19It really is from Starling Music Limited.
21:22Rockin'.
21:23All right.
21:24Ringo's question to Paul is,
21:26who is his favourite Beatle?
21:33That's not an easy one, Rinks.
21:37There's no answer.
21:38And he knows there's no answer to that.
21:40I love you all.
21:43Because Ringo's playing drums on the album, isn't he?
21:44He is, and he's gorgeous too.
21:45Oh, beautiful life.
21:46I do love him very, very much,
21:47but 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?
21:59He's, no, no, not really.
22:01He is?
22:02No.
22:02He is, and he's done a great album with Ravi Shankar.
22:05Has he?
22:05Called Chance, yeah, it's very out there, but lovely.
22:07Yeah, gorgeous.
22:08All good?
22:08Yeah, penultimate track cracker.
22:10All right.
22:12Melinda Messenger.
22:14Yeah.
22:14All right.
22:16To Alex, she says, which is strange,
22:17but she does.
22:18I just requested a question for Paul McCartney.
22:20If you could be in one of the bands that are around now,
22:22which band would it be?
22:25Whoa, well, um,
22:28it would have been Nirvana,
22:30but no longer.
22:31Right.
22:32Um, and now who would it be?
22:35Joe Loss.
22:38Diplomatic.
22:38I mean, no, you've got to go for that.
22:40Joe Loss.
22:40All right, okay.
22:41Joe Loss.
22:42All right.
22:42A couple more.
22:43Ian Brody.
22:44Ian Brody of the Lightning Seeds, everyone.
22:46Sir Paul, he says here.
22:47Yes.
22:48Which footy team, red or blue?
22:50He doesn't know, apparently.
22:51Blue.
22:52Blue.
22:53Long story, long story,
22:54because I claim both of them,
22:56which isn't really allowed, I know,
22:58but my dad was born in Everton.
23:01Right.
23:01Right.
23:02So I'm officially Everton,
23:03but they don't do very well.
23:05Liverpool do,
23:06and I love Liverpool too,
23:07so I'm having them both.
23:08You're having both, right?
23:09I don't care.
23:10Right, Liverpool.
23:11Now, this is another crack at Frank Carson, right?
23:13In Frank's handwriting, 26th of June, 97.
23:15Dear Paul,
23:16what was the ticket to ride for a bus, train or plane?
23:19And, ticket to ride?
23:21Right, yeah.
23:21And why would you be sad
23:22if the girl that's driving you mad was going away?
23:25If she was driving you mad,
23:27you wouldn't, you'd be happy.
23:28It's very good, actually.
23:30That, yeah.
23:30Great question.
23:31That's a very good question.
23:32Yeah, that is, yeah.
23:33It was a bus, actually, that we were on.
23:36Yep.
23:36And the girl that was driving us mad at the time,
23:40we were getting away from her.
23:41We're very happy to get away from her,
23:42and I don't actually have an answer to that,
23:44if I'm 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.
23:51He says,
23:51I just called to say I love you.
23:56Thank you, Paul.
23:57Our next guest,

24:51Well-received.

25:14Olivia is married to Tilly's favourite comedian
25:17in the world, literally in the world,
25:19John 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,
25:24I was there the last night,
25:26and the British, like, audience is incredible.
25:32Like, everyone is so energised,
25:34and it's just an incredible...
25:36In fact, I was sitting up in one of those...
25:38What are those seats, you know?
25:39Boxes.
25:40Boxes.
25:40Yeah, yeah.
25:41Royal boxes?
25:42You know how to work.
25:43And there's a guy sitting next to me,
25:45and he was just, like,
25:46slapping his knee and just laughing.
25:48And I got, like, a tickle in my throat
25:49at one point,
25:50and I start coughing.
25:52And I start coughing,
25:53and I can't really stop,
25:54and he just looks over,
25:55and he goes,
25:56go outside.
25:58He's like, I'm so sorry.
26:00What, respect for the act?
26:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:01He was, like, respect for his laughing.
26:02He wanted to just, like,
26:04get me out of the way.
26:04And you were sort of caught
26:05between Rock and the Heart plays,
26:06because he was saying the right thing,
26:08but he's like,
26:09it'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.
26:16So I wanted to be able to see every joke,
26:18and I had to run out
26:20and, like, gag
26:21and then come back.
26:23And he's,
26:24well, he was doing the same on stage,
26:25but in a different way.
26:26Yeah.
26:27But is he still funny then,
26:28officially, your husband?
26:29He's still funny.
26:30He's still funny!
26:32John gets loads of mentions
26:34in interviews like this with you.
26:35And I love it.
26:36Of course,
26:37and also, you know,
26:37he's very well-known in his own right,
26:39and you're very happily married,
26:40and it's all fun.
26:41But actually,
26:42the person that gets the most mentions,
26:43almost more mentions
26:44than whatever you're on to talk about,
26:46like your friends and neighbours,
26:47is Malcolm,
26:48young Malcolm.
26:48Yeah.
26:49He seems to be a 40-year-old man
26:52in a four-year-old body.
26:54You know,
26:55so he's got this vernacular
26:57that makes me feel so insecure.
27:00Like, he goes,
27:02like, the other day,
27:04he said,
27:05he has this,
27:06the way that he phrases it
27:07is like this,
27:07I'll come in,
27:08and I'll have made him something,
27:10like,
27:11that I'm trying to make from scratch,
27:12and he goes,
27:13did you think I would want this?
27:16And I'm like,
27:17what?
27:18No, I mean,
27:19I just,
27:20I mean,
27:20I don't know,
27:21and he's like,
27:22and then he'll come in when we're,
27:23I'm like,
27:23sit down watching TV with him,
27:24and he'll look at me and go,
27:25did you,
27:26did you think I wanted you to sit with me?
27:28And I'm like,
27:30no, I just,
27:30I didn't even see you were there.
27:31I mean,
27:32I just,
27:32like,
27:32oh,
27:33you're here,
27:33okay,
27:33great,
27:33great.
27:34Oh, Malcolm,
27:34how you doing?
27:35Yeah,
27:35it's always like,
27:36did you think that I would like that?
27:38Wonderful to have you here,
27:39your friends and neighbors.
27:40Let's just talk about these houses.
27:42They're mad.
27:42These houses are crazy,
27:44aren't they?
27:44There was this one home
27:47where we shot this year,
27:49and it's massive,
27:51and they've been trying to sell it,
27:53but the economy is different,
27:55even for really wealthy people,
27:56and everyone's just a bit different
27:58in how they're buying stuff,
27:59but it was like a bowling alley
28:02and the basketball court
28:04and a movie theater.
28:05It's so massive,
28:05and they've been trying to sell it,
28:06and this owner was there on set
28:10and started screaming at everybody.
28:12He started,
28:12I was like,
28:13wait,
28:13what has happened?
28:14I came down,
28:14and he was screaming,
28:15and he's a really big guy,
28:17and I went right up to him,
28:19and I was like,
28:20hey,
28:20what are you doing?
28:21Stop yelling at our crew.
28:22I don't understand what's happening,
28:23and he was like,
28:24well,
28:24people are on my floors,
28:26and they're supposed to stay
28:28on the carpets,
28:28and I was like,
28:29why did you rent out your home to us?
28:31Like,
28:31you're insane.
28:32He was like,
28:33well,
28:33it's also so loud,
28:34and my office is upstairs,
28:35and I go,
28:36if you can own this house,
28:37and you don't have an office somewhere else,
28:40that seems strange,
28:42and then later,
28:43and you know,
28:43like sometimes those big guys
28:44are such like,
28:45they're just so meek,
28:46and I think that he was not ready
28:48for someone to call him out on it.
28:50It was so crazy.
28:51He was yelling at like our background actors,
28:54and I thought,
28:54this is so crazy,
28:55and then he was like,
28:56he got really sheepish,
28:57and his wife came over,
28:58and she's like,
28:59he wants to apologize.
28:59He's like,
29:00I'm sorry.
29:02And you know what he was wearing?
29:04This is not a joke.
29:05He was wearing keep calm and carry on.
29:08Yeah.
29:09And I was like,
29:11hmm.
29:11Dice.
29:12Yeah.
29:13But also in those neighborhoods,
29:15we've had to,
29:16if you look at this season,
29:17we've had to like,
29:18find new homes,
29:19and have new reasons.
29:20Like someone sold their home,
29:20let's move on,
29:21because these really wealthy neighborhoods,
29:23one person is like,
29:24they love our show,
29:25or they want to do it,
29:26so they're like,
29:26yeah,
29:27we're going to rent out our home,
29:28and then all the neighbors are really mad,
29:30because these really wealthy people are like,
29:32we don't care that you guys are on TV,
29:34like,
29:34don't be in our neighborhood,
29:36but somebody does let us,
29:38and it creates a lot of problems for us.
29:40Oh my God.
29:40There's a show behind the show,
29:41isn't there?
29:41Yeah.
29:42In a way.
29:42They're very mad.
29:43Does anybody do any of that kind of film in the round?
29:46Yeah,
29:47you'd think that we would have thought of that.
29:49Season three,
29:50bring 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,
30:01it sort of comes across like you might be having all the fun.
30:04Yeah,
30:05it's really great.
30:05And,
30:05you know,
30:06last year we had James Morrison come on,
30:07and this year we have Michelle Monaghan.
30:09So I'm really excited about,
30:11because I'm such a fan of hers as well.
30:12And,
30:14and,
30:15the 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,
30:23we're allowed to say that?
30:24If the Hamm can say it,
30:25Yeah,
30:25yeah,
30:26so now I'm saying it.
30:26Well,
30:27thanks for coming to see us.
30:28Is it done now?
30:28Yes,
30:29okay.
30:30We do.
30:31We don't have to be done.
30:32We don't have to be done.
30:34I mean,
30:35you 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.
30:40For real?
30:40Yeah.
30:41What would Jon like?
30:42The camera.
30:43You always steal the camera when you intend to or not.
30:46Yeah.
30:47Let's leave it there.
30:48Olivia Merlin's been with us.
30:50Your Friends and Neighbors continues.
30:51It's the number one show in the world on Apple TV.
30:53It's on all the time.

32:28BEEP.
32:30Oh my God,
32:31that's naughty.
32:33Ladies and gentlemen,
32:34please welcome our first guest of the year 2000,
32:36and what a great start to the year.
32:38Here's Mariah Carey.
32:39CHEERING
33:03Good, thank you.
33:04This is one of us.
33:05I'll keep going, boys.
33:06Nice to meet you.
33:07This is Toby.
33:08How are you doing?
33:09How are you doing?
33:09Hi, thanks.
33:09Where is a big fan of yours,
33:11huge fan of yours.
33:12You are.
33:13Yeah, loves you to death.
33:14I mean, I love you,
33:15but he is madly in love with you.
33:17Well, it's very nice to meet you.
33:19And you too.
33:21OK.
33:21Now listen,
33:22before we go any further,
33:23OK.
33:24Can I ask you,
33:24can I ask you,
33:25will you come out with us tonight for a beer,
33:26because you look a right laugh?
33:28LAUGHTER
33:29I look a right laugh today?
33:30Yeah, you do.
33:31Might as well,
33:31if you've got lots of beer in the back,
33:33ain't nobody drinking it.
33:34Yeah, so, no, seriously,
33:35will you come out with me and words for a pint tonight?
33:37Well, I have to do a little taping.
33:39Actually, it'd be great if you would join me for it.
33:42What, the taping?
33:42Mm-hmm.
33:43Well, is it in the pub?
33:44OK, well, it was.
33:46Actually, you were thinking about doing it in a pub,
33:48to be honest with you.
33:48Were you?
33:48Well, it's sort of this wacky little thing
33:50I have going on,
33:51and I can tell you about it if you want.
33:52OK, what is it?
33:52OK, I have a tour,
33:53which begins on February 14th, Valentine's Day.
33:56And, um, did you see the video, by any chance,
34:00where I'm fighting the black-haired, evil,
34:02bad, evil twin that I have?
34:03We've got it.
34:04Do you want me to play it for you?
34:05Oh, sure.
34:06We've got it.
34:06That way we can explain what we're talking about.
34:07Yeah, OK, well, watch this.
34:08We've got this for you, right now.
34:09OK.
34:11OK.
34:12I...
34:27So now we know about that.
34:28OK.
34:29So, so, thank you very much.
34:31I did all my own stunts, and I was very bruised the next day,
34:33but that's besides the point.
34:34OK, now that we know about that, what I'm taping tonight
34:37is footage for my tour, which includes that girl, the evil
34:41Mariah, who is called Bianca.
34:43She's from Britain, actually, and she doesn't like me at all.
34:47She hates me.
34:48But if she's played by you, though?
34:49Well, I mean, that's a minor detail, but she is hosting my tour.
34:54So I don't know what's going to happen,
34:55because she's very temperamental.
34:57You know, she has a lot of, um, issues.
35:00Does she want to come on the lash with us?
35:02I think you might like Bianca better than you.
35:03OK.
35:04Better than you?
35:04You might.
35:05OK, well, I can have Bianca, where this can have you.
35:07OK.
35:08What a laugh.
35:09But there'll only be three of us.
35:14So are you going to film all night, then?
35:16Uh, probably.
35:17OK, so you can't come out?
35:18Well, we might.
35:19Maybe we can stop by.
35:20Where are you going to be?
35:20Well, um...
35:21You can't say that, can you?
35:22We're just around.
35:22You'll get swarmed, won't you?
35:24No, we never get swarmed.
35:25People don't like us very much.
35:27So, um, so you're here for how long in Britain?
35:30Oh, probably another few hours before I get on the plane
35:32and go somewhere else.
35:33I don't even know where I'm going.
35:34But I thought you were...
35:35I think Germany.
35:36Are you not staying here for a while for your tour?
35:37Um, no, I'm coming back for the tour.
35:39First I have to go, oh, all over.
35:41Yeah.
35:41L.A.
35:43What, promoting or touring?
35:44Um, getting ready for the tour, but prior to that.
35:46Getting ready for the tour?
35:47Mm-hmm.
35:47Working out?
35:48No, rehearsing.
35:48I don't even know what I'm doing yet.
35:50That's another minor detail.
35:51When is the tour?
35:52It's February the 14th.
35:53Yeah.
35:54And you've not figured it out?
35:55I like to wing things.
35:56We like to wing things, don't we, Wes?
35:59Oh, 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.
36:05Oh, God.
36:06Yeah, it's kind of called one night only.
36:08Well, the reason is because I'm filming a movie in May.
36:11Yeah, because you're an actress now, aren't you?
36:12Well, darling, I think I always have been, haven't I?
36:15How are we all, I suppose?
36:19So when you come back for that one night, have you got anywhere nice to stay?
36:25Um, like someone's house?
36:26Yeah.
36:27It's always better to stay at a friend's house than live in a hotel.
36:29It is more comfortable.
36:31Yeah?
36:31It is more comfortable at home, but I don't have anyone who's offered me their home, so.
36:35Well, never mind, I'll stay in a hotel then.
36:38Okay.
36:40What are you going to do?
36:41You seem to me, like nowadays, when you started off, you didn't take yourself very seriously
36:45but, I'm not saying that, but you did, you were different, and now you seem like you're
36:47just 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, any 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.
37:10Oh, I still have a few more singles to put out.
37:12Okay.
37:13Because he was the boss of the company, wasn't he?
37:14Well, he still is.
37:15Is he?
37:15Is he?
37:16Oh, 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
37:29iPlayer.
37:29So let's get prepared for the amazing Emily!
37:37Yay!
37:39Yay!
37:40Yay!
37:42Yay!
37:42Great to see you.
37:43Congratulations, Emily.
37:44You're so good!
37:45Oh, stop it, Owen.
37:46How good is Emily?
37:47Yay!
37:48Oh my gosh, you're in everybody's favourite things all the time.
37:52Stop being in all the best stuff.
37:53Give somebody else a chance, Emma.
37:55I know, I don't stop.
37:56All right, so Mint, I've seen all of them.
37:58You know, I've seen all of them.
37:59I know, it's crazy.
38:00My team have not even seen it all.
38:01Oh my gosh.
38:03Frank, who works, she says, I've seen three.
38:05Well, I've seen eight, Frank, all right?
38:06I've seen all eight.
38:07It's eight, three to me, to the old guy.
38:08Also, this is crazy, because I used to listen to you every morning when I went to school.
38:12You poor thing.
38:13Yeah.
38:14It's so overstimulating.
38:15Oh my gosh.
38:15I just keep looking at this desk with all these, like, signatures.
38:18Amazing.
38:18Which keep getting rubbed off.
38:19We're going to get...
38:20We're going to 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.
38:25So, I mean, for lots of people, you know, you...
38:27Was it Variety magazine?
38:28You said you're a Brit to watch in 2021 or 2022.
38:31Oh, I didn't say...
38:31Well, I probably said that.
38:33No, no, Variety, I think Variety or Hollywood reports.
38:35I mean, somebody said it, and they were right.
38:36And 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.
38:44And I just suspect, and I don't know, because I don't know you,
38:46that 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 this.
38:54I knew this.
38:55And I purposely haven't checked.
38:57I just knew.
38:59Like, through and through, I was like an indie...
39:02Oh, I'm an indie rock and roll girl.
39:03Like, I just...
39:04I grew up having jobs so that I could go and watch, like, Reverend and the Bakers in Sheffield,
39:09you know.
39:09Like, it was...
39:10That was my thing.
39:10Do you sing and play guitar?
39:12I do a little bit.
39:12I play guitar quite poorly.
39:13And I always...
39:15I'll always write.
39:16Maybe I'll do something with that.
39:18But, you know, I was in bands when I was a teenager and I played the lead mill in Sheffield
39:22and then I...
39:23Which was a massive moment for me.
39:25It sounds cool, doesn't it?
39:26And then I realised that...
39:28I just found my footing with acting.
39:30I think I tried...
39:31I think I was alright at a lot of things.
39:32Yeah, yeah.
39:33So, we haven't really said what the show's about.
39:36Oh, go on.
39:36No, you go.
39:37Off you go.
39:37Oh, well, it's...
39:39I describe it as, like, a Glaswegian Romeo and Juliet modern day.
39:44Yeah.
39:45But also, like, it's a bit of a shocker when you watch it because it's just what Charlie's
39:49done with the editing.
39:50It's super nostalgic and beautiful and weird and there's really nothing quite like it.
39:55Some great cars, innit?
39:56Some great cars.
39:57Yeah.
39:57Oh, is there?
39:58Oh, yeah.
39:58Like the old Range Rovers and stuff.
40:00Yeah.
40:00Well, the one you drive, the Mercedes.
40:01Yeah.
40:02It's like, where's that?
40:03All I can think about is how difficult those cars are to drive.
40:06Yeah.
40:07Because it's not like...
40:08My wife would agree with you, which is why I'm not allowed to have one anymore.
40:11An old car.
40:12So, there's...
40:13How much should we give away?
40:14How much should we say?
40:15I suppose it is a Monday...
40:16I mean, that's what all the gang said.
40:18It's Romeo and Juliet.
40:19That's what it is.
40:19Yeah, it's like a love story.
40:20It reminds me of Twilight, of when...
40:23I don't know if you ever saw the Twilight films.
40:25I didn't, to be honest.
40:25As a teenage girl, I'm sure there's many girls listening that can relate.
40:29It's like, yeah!
40:30Yeah!
40:31Twilight!
40:32Twilight was so important to so many girls.
40:35And guys...
40:36It's funny, because there's a girl boy divide.
40:37It's all girls in the control room.
40:39Twilight!
40:39And all boys here.
40:40It's so good.
40:41And I just hope that Mint is what Twilight was for me, for some people, you know?
40:46And why is Mint called Mint?
40:47Because that's the only thing I could figure out.
40:48I have no idea.
40:49Nor have I.
40:50I think...
40:51I'm not as scared to ask you.
40:52Yeah, I think Charlie, in an interview last week, was like,
40:55I just like the word mint.
40:57Like, it's like, when people use it as slang issues,
41:00like, it makes me think of green, and I like green.
41:03So I'm not sure, but it's cool.
41:04I reckon it's in the pipeline.
41:07We're gonna find out what it's called, aren't we?
41:08Yeah, maybe there's a true hidden meaning.
41:09100%.
41:10Well, congratulations to you and the team.
41:11It's absolutely brilliant.
41:13Eight part TV series, Mint episode two, out 9.30pm next Monday.
41:16But of course, all episodes, as I know, because I've watched them all,
41:18are available on the BBC Outplay.
41:20And that has been Emma Lynn!
41:21Yeah!
41:24Still to come up hard by playing for us live,
41:26but first some TFI gold from Bryan Adams.
41:30You might stop a hurricane.
41:33Might even stop the driving rain.
41:38You might have a dozen other guys.
41:42But if you wanna stop me, baby, don't even try.
41:47I can't stop this thing we started.
41:52You gotta know it's right.
41:56I can't stop this cause we're plighted.
42:00I can't stop it.
42:02I can't stop it.
42:10I can't stop it.
42:16I can't stop it.
42:19I can't stop it.
42:20I can't stop it.
42:22I can't stop it.
42:35I can't stop it.
42:40I can't stop it.
43:02I can't stop it.
