00:05Hello, Chris.
00:06Are you ready?

00:11I'm just about to put the kettle on.
00:12Thanks.
00:46Happy Friday! Happy Friday to you!

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.

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.

03:26Hey, 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?

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.
05:48Oh my God.
05:50Oh.
05:54Oh my God.
05:57Oh my God.
05:58Oh my God.
05:58Oh my God.
05:58That's enough, that's enough!
06:00That's enough.
06:03You're all right?
06:04Oh my God.
06:07You're all right?
06:08That's amazing.
06:08Thank you much.
06:12You're all right?
06:13Oh, my gosh.
06:15The girl who cried milk, 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.
07:09He'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.
07:39Where 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.
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.
07:57I know.
07:57I saw you just take a sling off.
07:59It's like, is that a prop?
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.
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
08:31and it was a superb thing and 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, two places.
08:51Okay, two places.
08:52Have you been skiing twice?
08:54Yeah.
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.
09:14One hand clapping.
09:15All right.
09:16And is it fair to say that in the most recent episode just gone,
09:19you had the least baddie or the least bad baddie?
09:22Would 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.
09:37They're not bad baddies, are they?
09:38Yeah, well, I'm...
09:40Well, they live in a lair, so...
09:42Does 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.
09:46I don't know.
09:47Mermaids, I mean, they get a good rap, I think.
09:49Yeah, they do.
09:49They do.
09:50Beyond Paradise is all about its setting, its location,
09:53it's, you know, it's sort of the weird and wonderfulness
09:57that is the West Country and the coast
09:59and 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,
10:13I 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
10:27and they went, yesterday, they came up to me in the pub
10:29and they went, we love you.
10:30Oh!
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.
10:39Yay!
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, 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.
11:03And, yeah, superb.
11:04Do you watch old cop shows?
11:06Is it true that you are huge fans of old cop shows
11:09and 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 The Rockford Files.
11:20Yeah.
11:21I know it's technically not a cop.
11:22He's a private investigator.
11:23But Jim Rockford.
11:25Yeah.
11:25Columbo.
11:25Marple.
11:26Barnaby Jones.
11:28Do you know Barnaby Jones?
11:28No, I can't remember Barnaby Jones.
11:29Yeah.
11:30A bit before your time, maybe.
11:33Looking good.
11:34Take that.
11:35A bit before my time as well.
11:38But he...
11:39So I like to sort of like encompass, pay homages to all those cops that I loved growing up
11:45and 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.
11:58Because every day you come in, you've got to try something new.
12:01You want to keep it fresh.
12:03You are fresh, man.
12:04Well, I'll try and keep fresh.
12:06You seem to be sort of relaxing into the most scatty version of yourself I'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 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.
12:40Yeah.
12:41Wow.
12:42Beyond Paradise is great, right?
12:43And 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?
12:52That'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...
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?
13:22Oh!
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.
13:36It sounds like they have.
13:38Do you ever try and wheedle things in that you like doing?
13:42I mean, 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.
13:56Maybe geography'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.
14:04So, I'm always like, let's get us a surfing episode.
14:08Yeah.
14:08We haven't had one of those yet.
14:09Yeah.
14:10All 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.
14:53All you've got is this moment.
14:5521 centuries yesterday.
14:59You can care all you want.
15:08I need you tonight.
15:14Because I'm not sleeping.
15:18It's something about you.
15:22And it's this moment.
15:25In NXS.
15:26Wow.
15:27In NXS on TFI Friday.
15:28Looters of TFI gold on YouTube.
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, what 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.
15:56No!
15:58No!
15:58No!
16:02Oh, come on.
16:03Prove it.
16:04Non-believers.
16:05Can be done.
16:07Drum roll, please.
16:08All right.
16:10Not too odd.
16:19Come on.
16:32Come on.
16:33Come on.
16:35Go, go, go!
16:37Go, go, go!
16:39Go, go, go!
16:40Go, go, go, go!
16:40Go, go, go!
16:42Go, go, go!
16:44Absolute disaster!
16:47It hurt me then!
16:49OK!
16:51OK!
16:52We said it could be done!
16:53And we were running!
16:55Yay!
16:58It worked on the tour!
17:05Oh, we've had a review in The Guardian.
17:08This cosy yet hectic revival
17:10just about justifies its inexpensive existence.
17:15We've had worse.
17:17We'll take it.
17:18All right, let's have something very special.
17:21My next guest is the one and only...
17:24Paul McGartney!
17:25Q&A
17:27Heather
17:31Emily!
17:31Come on, lad!
17:32Woo!
17:33man!
17:38I king!
17:40come on!
17:45Let's pee!
17:48Oh, my God!
17:50Oh, my God!
17:50He's over!
18:07Now, Paul, Paul, on your new album, you've played most of the instruments yourself.
18:13Play a lot of them, yeah.
18:14Okay, and you're a great drummer, apparently.
18:16Well, I do a bit, you know, on the sly.
18:18Can you do this?
18:18Can you do this?
18:19Can you do this?
18:24No, that's not called for in many of the songs which I've been doing.
18:28Can you do it?
18:29Can I do it?
18:30No.
18:30Go on, I'm good.
18:34He knew, he 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, if you want the proof.
18:45There 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 facts 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?
19:04Yeah, sometimes.
19:05Not really sick as a pig, I'm slightly jealous.
19:07And 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?
19:13Do-de-do-do.
19:16I thought that was very good, myself.
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.
19:30Okay?
19:30Yeah.
19:31I was smoking pipes and drinking wine late at night, but, you know, it's inspirational, I thought.
19:39Okay.
19:39All right.
19:40Well, that's Sean's question.
19:41Probably you are.
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 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, 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, very big jumps.
20:36Skippy-like jumps.
20:36Very skippy, hippity-hoppity, out of the field, and ring the daily thing.
20:41All right.
20:42And get the photograph.
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.
20:51All right.
20:51You short?
20:52Yeah, I'm dead short.
20:54I thought you were in Kent.
20:55I think so.
20:55George Best has faxed us.
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.
21:12Okay.
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?
21:19Oh, really?
21:20It really is from Starling Music Limited.
21:22Rocking.
21:23All right.
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.
21:38And 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, too.
21:46A beautiful light.
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?
22:00He's not, 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.
22:06Yeah, 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.
22:14Right.
22:16To Alex, she says, which is strange, but she does.
22:18Has 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?
22:25Whoa, well, um...
22:28It 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 me.
22:40Joe Loss.
22:40All right, okay.
22:41Joe Loss, you're a great band.
22:42A couple more.
22:43Ian Brodie.
22:44Ian Brodie 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!
22:53Blue!
22:53Long story, long story, long story, because I claim both of them, which isn't really allowed,
22:57I know, but my dad was born in Everton.
23:01Right.
23:01Right.
23:01So 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 both, right?
23:09I don't care.
23:10Right, Liverpool.
23:11Now, 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?
23:21Right, yeah.
23:21And why would you be sad if the girl that's driving you mad was going away?
23:25If she was driving you mad, you wouldn't, you'd be happy.
23:28It's very good, actually, that, yeah.
23:30Great question.
23:31That's a very good question.
23:34It's a cracker.
23:35Right.
23:35Actually, we were on.
23:36Yep.
23:36And the girl that was driving us mad at the time, we were getting away from her.
23:41We were very happy to get away from her, and I don't actually have an answer to that.
23:44Okay, Frank.
23:45But it's a good question.
23:46It's a heck of a question, yes.
23:48Okay.
23:48He knocked on my door once we were doing some show.
23:51He says, I 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 all the TV charts
24:02across 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, so let's have all the fun with
24:15Olivia Marr.
24:17Thank you, Paul.
24:24How are you doing?
24:25How are you doing?
24:26A great sunshine to teach you.
24:29We have an audience.
24:30Hey, guys.
24:31Olivia Marr.
24:32Woo!
24:33The number one show in the world right now.
24:37How does it feel?
24:39It'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.
24:53Come on.
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, and we said, like, can we go and meet you and
25:09come on and do this?
25:10Oh, that's nice.
25:12So for people who don't know, Olivia is married to Tilly's favourite 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
25:31incredible.
25:32Like, everyone is so energised, and it's just an incredible, in fact, I was sitting up
25:37in one of those, what are those seats, you know?
25:39Boxes.
25:39Boxes.
25:40Yeah, yeah.
25:41Royal boxes?
25:42You know how to work.
25:43And there's a guy sitting next to me, and he was just, like, slapping his knee and just
25:47laughing.
25:47And I got, like, a tickle in my throat at one point, and I start coughing, and I start
25:53coughing, and I can't really stop, and he just looks over and he goes, go outside.
25:58He's like, I'm so sorry.
25:59Respect for the act.
26:01Yeah, 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 Rockin' the Hard Place, because he was saying the
26:08right thing, but he'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, and I had to run out and, like, gag and
26:22then
26:22come 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!
26:32John gets loads of mentions in interviews like this with you.
26:35And I love it.
26:36Of course, because, and also, you know, he's very well-known in his own right, and you're
26:39very happily married, and it's all fun.
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, I'll come in, and I'll have made him something, like, that I'm trying to make
27:11from scratch, and he goes, did you think I would want this?
27:16And I'm like, no, I mean, I just, I mean, no, and he's like, and then he'll come in
27:23when we're, I'm like, sit down watching TV with him, and he'll look at me and go, did
27:26you, 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, okay, great, great.
27:34Oh, Malcolm, how are you doing?
27:35Yeah, it's always like, did you think that I would like that?
27:38Wonderful to have you here, your 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, and they've been
27:52trying to sell it, but the economy is different, even for really wealthy people, and everyone's
27:57just a bit different in how they're buying stuff, but he, it was, it was like a bowling
28:02alley, and the basketball court, and a movie theatre, it's so massive, and they've been
28:06trying to sell it, and 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, he was screaming, and he's a really big guy, and I went right up to him,
28:19and I was like, hey, what are you doing?
28:21Stop yelling at our crew, I don't understand what's happening, and he was like, well, people
28:24are on my floors, and they're supposed to stay on the carpet, and I was like, why did
28:29you rent out your home to us?
28:31Like, you're insane.
28:32He was like, well, it's also so loud, and my office is upstairs, and I go, if you can
28:36own this house, and you don't have an office somewhere else, that seems strange.
28:42And then later, and you know, like, sometimes those big guys are such, like, they're just so
28:46meek, and 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 background actors, and I thought, this is so crazy.
28:55And then he was like, he got really sheepish, and his wife came over, and she's like, he
28:59wants to apologize.
28:59He's like, I'm sorry.
29:03And you know what he was wearing?
29:04This is not a joke.
29:05He was wearing keep calm and carry on.
29:08Yeah.
29:10And I was like, hmm.
29:12Dice.
29:12Hilarious.
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.
29:20Like, someone sold their home, let's move on, because these really wealthy neighborhoods,
29:23one person is like, they love our show, or they want to do it, so they're like, yeah, we're
29:27going to rent out our home, and then all the neighbors are really mad, because these really
29:31wealthy people are like, we 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, in a way?
29:42I mean, they're very mad.
29:44Does anybody do any of that kind of filming around?
29:46Yeah, you'd think that we would have thought of that.
29:49Season three, bring it on!
29:52Would you be around or not?
29:54Yes, I'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 have it.
30:01It sort of comes across like you might be having all the fun.
30:04Yeah, it's really great.
30:05And, you know, last year we had James Morrison 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.
30:15And 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, are we allowed to say that?
30:24If the Hamm can say it, you can say it.
30:25Yeah, yeah.
30:25So now I'm saying it.
30:26Well, thanks for coming to see us.
30:28Is it done now?
30:28Yeah, it's okay.
30:30We 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.
30:40For real?
30:40Yeah.
30:41What would Jon like?
30:42The camera.
30:43You always steal the camera when you intend to.
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.

37:04Because 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.
37:12OK.
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
37:28and also on the BBC iPlayer.
37:29So let's get prepared for the amazing Emma Lynn!
37:43Congratulations, Emma, you're so good!
37:45Oh, stop it.
37:46How good is Emma?
37:47Oh, 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.
37:58I know, it's crazy.
37:59My team have not even seen it all.
38:01Oh, my gosh.
38:03Frankie looks at you and 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
38:11when I went to school.
38:11You poor thing.
38:12So I'm like, it's so overstimulating in you.
38:15I just keep looking at this desk with all these, like, signatures.
38:18Which keep getting rubbed off.
38:19We're going to get, we'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, you, you,
38:27was it Variety magazine?
38:28You 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 or Hollywood Report.
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,
38:41no 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
38:49and you've just landed on acting.
38:50Do you know, you know, I mean, I wanted to be a musician
38:52when I was a kid.
38:53I 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, I grew up having jobs so that I could go
39:06and watch, like, Reverend and the Bakers in Sheffield, you know.
39:09Like, it was, that was my thing.
39:11Do you sing and play guitar?
39:11I do a little bit.
39:12I play guitar quite poorly.
39:13And I always, I'll always write.
39:16Maybe I'll do something with that.
39:18But, you know, I was in bands when I was a teenager.
39:20And I played the lead mill in Sheffield,
39:23which was a massive moment for me.
39:25It sounds cool, doesn't it?
39:26And then I realised that, I just found my footing with acting.
39:30I think I tried, I think I was all right at a lot of things.
39:33Yeah, yeah.
39:33So, we haven't really said what the show's about.
39:36Oh, go on.
39:36No, you go, off you go.
39:37Oh, well, it's, I describe it as, like,
39:41a Glaswegian Romeo and Juliet modern day.
39:45But also, like, it's a bit of a shocker when you watch it
39:47because it's just what Charlie's done with the editing.
39:50It's super nostalgic and beautiful and weird.
39:53And there's really nothing, nothing quite like it.
39:55Great cars, innit?
39:56Some great cars.
39:57Yeah.
39:57Oh, is there?
39:58Yeah.
39:58Oh, yeah.
39:58Like the old Range Rovers and stuff.
40:00Yeah, well, the one you drive, the Mercedes.
40:01That's like, where's that?
40:03All I can think about is how difficult those cars are to drive
40:06because it's not like...
40:08My wife would agree with you,
40:09which is why I'm not allowed to have one anymore, an old car.
40:12So, there's, how much do we give away?
40:14How much do we say?
40:15I suppose it is a modern...
40:16I mean, that's what all the gang said.
40:18It's Romeo and Juliet.
40:19That's what it is.
40:19It is, yeah.
40:19It'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.
40:24I did, to be honest.
40:25As a teenage girl,
40:27I'm sure there's many girls listening that can relate.
40:29It's like, yeah, yeah, Twilight!
40:32Twilight was so important to so many girls and guys...
40:36It's funny because it's the girl boy divide.
40:38It's all girls in the control room and all boys here.
40:40It's so good.
40:41And I just hope that Mint is what Twilight was for me,
40:45for 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.
40:51I'm not as scared to ask you.
40:52Yeah, I think Charlie, in an interview last week,
40:55was like, I just like the word Mint.
40:57It's like when people use it as slang,
40:59it makes me think of green,
41:01and I like green.
41:03So I'm not sure, but it's cool.
41:05I reckon it's in the pipeline.
41:07We're going to find out.
41:07Yeah, 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,

43:04Thank you!

43:07Oh, I've been working a week.
43:11I'm tired.
43:12Yeah, I've been working a week
43:15and I'm living for the weekend.
43:21Hey, hey, I got some money.
43:25I just got paid.
43:27I got money and I can't wait.
43:31Six o'clock, I'm out of here.
43:34I'm out of here.
43:37I have that tonight.
43:39There's a night all my life.
43:41I've got my name on.
43:44I run down my street out of dust.
43:47I'm a fit.
43:48I'm all triage.
43:51I've got an outraged.
44:06Oh man, I've been working a week, I'm shocked. I've been working a week for a while. Living for the
44:17weekend.
44:22So my clothes are a counterfeit. So my name isn't on the list. I know you're trying to come in.
44:32It's a cow-cum, boys.
44:36I slip down the back, look at the back. There's a crack, toilet window. I try to see the floor
44:45cold as ice through the door. I'm all for you.
44:50I'm working all the time. I'm working such a lot. I've got some money to spend. I'm learning how to
44:56reach it. When it gets much, I live by the rush. I've got some money to spend. I'm learning how
45:04to reach it.
45:05I'm learning how to reach it down. Can you feel it? Feel the pressure pushing down.
45:33I'm learning how to reach it.
45:36On the living part of the weekend
