00:05Hello, Michael.
00:06Hello, Chris.
00:08Are you ready?
00:09You know, to tell you the truth, I'm not, but come in anyway.
00:12I'm just about to put the kettle on.
00:14Thanks.
00:48Happy Friday.
00:49Happy Friday to you.
00:51And welcome to our Paul McCartney and Prince special.
00:55And good luck to anyone and everyone who's running the London Marathon this weekend.
00:59How about we begin with some super tips from some super ladies.
01:03First of all, Emma B.
01:06My name's Emma B and I'm running the London Marathon for the first time.
01:11And my super tip is if you're pooing your pants, it's OK.
01:15We're all pooing our pants.
01:18And I've heard that you can actually poo your pants on race day as well.
01:24It's true.
01:25That is actually true.
01:27Happens all the time.
01:28Nice one, Emma.
01:28All right.
01:29Here comes super tip number two.
01:31I'm Bryony Gordon and I've run the London Marathon four times.
01:36Wow.
01:38And my top marathon tip is enjoy the fact that the London Marathon is one of the few socially
01:44acceptable places in the world where it is encouraged to take Vaseline off a stranger.
01:49Yay!
01:51And by the way, come and see me if you need any extra.
01:54Oh, my God.
01:56I always take loads.
01:58Super tip number three.
02:00Hi, I'm Paula Radcliffe.
02:02Yay!
02:03And I've won the London Marathon three times.
02:09Big up me.
02:10Yay!
02:12Yay!
02:12And my super tip is plan the run and run the plan.
02:16Yay!
02:18Oh, yeah.
02:18And don't trust a fart after halfway.
02:20Yay!
02:21Paul Radcliffe!
02:23Yay!
02:24Thank you, ladies.
02:25What's going on?
02:25Good luck to anyone, everyone, running the London Marathon this weekend.
02:28All right, let's do It's Your Letter.
02:50Thank you, New Order, for that It's Your Letters.
02:52And rumours in the news this week that New Order are getting back together.
02:55Please, God, let that happen.
02:58All right, we do have a letter here.
03:00It's a letter from Jolly Jill in Hammerhill.
03:02Yay!
03:03Jill says, hey, Chris.
03:05I love it.
03:08You should never get sick of it.
03:09You might, but we don't.
03:10Hey, Chris, Will was great last week.
03:12How about you get Will back again?
03:13Well, hey, let's do it for Jill in Hammerhill.
03:15Where there's Will this way and where there's Jill, there's Will.
03:17Yay!
03:19Yay!
03:23Yay!
03:24Yay!
03:24Yay!
03:25Yay!
03:27Hey, Will, hey, Will, hey, Will.
03:30Welcome to our Paul McCartney and Prince special.
03:32Thank you very much.
03:33Bless you for saying that Jill from Hammerhill wanted me back, because I know she doesn't
03:35exist.
03:36No, she doesn't exist.
03:37But everybody does want you back anyway.
03:39That is a fact.
03:39Okay, what pub genius do you have for us today?
03:41Well, for that, Chris, you're going to have to wait for part two at our Paul McCartney pub.
03:45How come?
03:46How come we've got to wait?
03:47What's going on?
03:48Because I thought first we'd play a game of our favourite old gummies to play all the
03:52time, TFI Trump.
03:53TFI!
03:54All right, deal, deal, all right.
03:56Okay, you do?
03:57Yes.
03:58Okay.
03:59It's you.
04:00That's all right.
04:00All right, okay, okay, okay, okay.
04:03I'm going to go for Franky Dittori's magic trick.
04:06Oh, I'm going to go for The Incredibly Tall Old Lady.
04:09Okay, I've got 88 here for fun factor.
04:12Oh, 82.
04:14Bring on Franky Dittori.
04:15One more.
04:19Ready?
04:19Yeah, go on.
04:20Just go, mate.
04:21Just go.
04:21Up.
04:23Up.
04:25Up.
04:25Happy.
04:26Just go, go, go, go, go, go.
04:28Go, go.
04:29Franky Dittori.
04:30Yeah.
04:33Still pretty good, right?
04:34Yeah, pretty good.
04:34Frankie's still got it.
04:35But one nil to me.
04:36Okay.
04:37I'm going to go for The Girl Who Cries Milk.
04:40Oh.
04:41Oh, very good.
04:42I'll go Noel Gallagher's mad chat in my flat.
04:46Oh.
04:47Fun fact, 81.
04:5095.
04:5090.
04:53Welcome to the show.
04:54What's your name?
04:54My name's Lindsay Houston.
04:56And where are you from, Lindsay Houston?
04:57I'm from Gosport.
04:58And you are how old?
04:59I am 15.
05:0015 years old.
05:01So it's Lindsay from Gosport.
05:02She's 15 years old, Gosport near Portsmouth.
05:04Yeah, that's right.
05:06And you brought your friends with you on a minibus of some sort.
05:09Oh, lovely.
05:10So tell us, when did you first start Cry Milk?
05:13What happened?
05:13About two years ago.
05:15I went around my friend Sarah's house.
05:16And we were just playing around with milk.
05:19Playing around with milk.
05:21Yeah.
05:22Cool.
05:22And I took it up my nose, she made me laugh, and it came out of my eyes.
05:27And now you can do it whenever you want to.
05:29I can.
05:29OK.
05:30Now, I've seen this once, and I saw it on Wednesday on videotape.
05:32We've rehearsed it three times, and I've not been able to watch it once.
05:35So if you're of a squeamish disposition here or at home, don't look, because it will make
05:39you chunder.
05:40All right?
05:41Are you ready?
05:42I am.
05:42OK, Lindsay will now cry milk.
05:59That's enough, that's enough, that's enough.
06:03Thank you, thank you.
06:13You're right.
06:15Oh, my gosh.
06:16The girl who cried milk, how great was she?
06:18Real name, Lindsay Houston.
06:20She lives now in Sydney and is very happily married to an Australia.
06:24All right, the decider.
06:25Are you ready for the decider?
06:26Yep.
06:27OK, my go.
06:27What about the wooden bird with purple hair?
06:30Oh, classy.
06:31Oh, I've nailed this one.
06:33I've got the thing that everybody wants to see, which is you being thrown out of a window.
06:37Yay!
06:38Can't argue with that.
06:40Well, there's the thumbs up.
06:42Chris will be on.
06:49Yeah, yeah!
06:51All right, Will wins 2-1.
06:54Are you coming back in part two?
06:55I am.
06:56The Paul McCartney part.
06:57He's back in the Paul McCartney part with Pub Genius.
07:02Does anyone know if we're all single?
07:05We all love, actually, our next guest.
07:08So much so that it feels like he's part of my family.
07:11He's returning once again as our favourite detective in Beyond Paradise, which continues
07:14on Fridays on the BBC, because we're all partial for a bit of Chris Marshall.
07:29Are you loving this as much as you're loving Aston Villa at the moment?
07:324-3 last weekend.
07:34Yay!
07:36One more win in Champions League.
07:38The Champignons League is in the bag.
07:40Come on!
07:40Where did you watch the match last weekend?
07:42Last weekend, I watched the match in my house last weekend.
07:46Yeah.
07:47It was a seven-goal thriller, wasn't it?
07:49It was a seven-goal thriller.
07:50Oh, and you were down in the dumps.
07:53Didn't they write you a letter or something?
07:55Oh, when I had my accident?
07:56Yeah.
07:56Yeah, yeah.
07:56I'm actually recovering from an accident right now.
07:58I know.
07:58I saw you just take a sling off.
08:00It's like, is that a prop?
08:02Is that a...
08:02No, it was a slight skiing mishap, which is probably the most middle-class thing I've
08:06ever said in my life.
08:07Yeah, there are other middle-class phrases that are available, but that's pretty much up
08:10there.
08:11I've got to be honest.
08:12Broken collarbone, two places.
08:13So what happened with you and the accident and the letter from Villa?
08:16So, yeah.
08:17So I had an accident in Bristol about 20, nearly 20 years ago.
08:20Right.
08:21Got hit by a car.
08:23Yeah, these things sort of happened to me.
08:24I don't know why.
08:29And they sent me this wonderful card signed by all the players and the manager and it was
08:34a superb thing and I go up all the time and see them and I just love Villa.
08:40Of course you do.
08:40It's such a lovely club.
08:41Yeah, they are a lovely club.
08:42They know you so, so well at the moment.
08:43So a skiing accident, a recent skiing accident, looks like a shoulder thing.
08:48Yeah, a broken shoulder.
08:49A broken shoulder?
08:50Yeah, I broke my collarbone, two places.
08:52Oh, okay.
08:53Two places.
08:53Have you been skiing twice?
08:58One in Mirabelle and one in...
09:00Yeah, yeah, yeah.
09:01Okay.
09:02Beyond Paradise is back.
09:03It's doing great business yet again.
09:05Here we are in season four.
09:06Come on, Beyond Paradise.
09:09I'll just clap with one hand if that's all right.
09:11Yeah.
09:12What's the sound of one hand clapping?
09:13That is actually the sound of one hand clapping.
09:15That's the sound of one hand clapping.
09:16All right.
09:17And is it fair to say that in the most recent episode just gone, you had the least bad baddie,
09:23or the least bad baddie?
09:24Would that be fair enough?
09:25What would I say again?
09:26The least bad baddie?
09:27Yeah, because the mermaid.
09:29Oh yeah, the least bad baddie.
09:30Yeah.
09:31Is that fair enough?
09:32That's like a...
09:33Yeah, that was the least bad baddie.
09:35I would say so, wouldn't you?
09:36Yeah, the mermaid.
09:37The mermaid.
09:38They're not bad baddies, are they?
09:40Yeah, well, I'm...
09:41Although they live in a lair.
09:43Yeah.
09:43So...
09:43Does anybody ever met a mermaid they don't like?
09:45I don't think so.
09:46I don't know.
09:47I don't know.
09:47I don't know.
09:48Mermaids, I mean, they get a good rap.
09:50Yeah, they do.
09:50They do.
09:51Beyond Paradise is all about its setting, its location, its...
09:55You know, it's sort of the weird and wonderfulness that is the West Country.
09:59Yeah.
09:59And the coast and the wild savagery of the coast.
10:02So why wouldn't you have mermaids?
10:03We have mermaids, we have green men.
10:05Yeah.
10:05We have little green men.
10:07Yeah.
10:07We have writers who are topping themselves in the bath.
10:12That's not very West Country, but...
10:13But, you know, I mean, we cover all bases.
10:16You've landed loose today, haven't you?
10:18Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:18Don't shake the arm, Chris, too much.
10:20Oh my God, it's that arm.
10:21It is the arm, yeah.
10:23Oh my God, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry.
10:25Someone came up to me.
10:26Oh my gosh.
10:27Someone came up to me in the pub yesterday, and they went, yesterday they came up to me
10:30in the pub, and they went, we love it.
10:31Oh!
10:33I was like, oh, amazing.
10:35So it could have been worse.
10:36It's all good, it's all good.
10:37It could have been worse, it could have been worse.
10:38You got married recently, congratulations.
10:40Yay!
10:41Oh, in the show.
10:42Yes!
10:44I did.
10:45Yes.
10:45You're on to talk about Beyond Paradise.
10:48I need to talk about Beyond Paradise, not my bad shoulder.
10:50Yeah, yeah.
10:50Or my wife of 15 years.
10:52Yeah, no, no, this is a different...
10:54My new wife, my screen wife.
10:56It's a different situation.
10:57Wonderful wedding, obviously had the wonderful Don Warrington as my best man, and yeah, superb.
11:06Do you watch old cop shows?
11:07Is it true that you are huge fans of old cop shows, and you try to sort of, you know...
11:13Yeah.
11:13...sow them into the tapestry that is Beyond Paradise?
11:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:17So I was a huge fan of shows growing up, like The Rockford Files.
11:22Yeah.
11:22I know it's technically not a cop, he's a private investigator, but Jim Rockford, Columbo,
11:27Marple, Barnaby Jones.
11:29Do you know Barnaby Jones?
11:29No, I can't remember Barnaby Jones.
11:30Yeah, a bit before your time, maybe.
11:34Looking good.
11:35Take that.
11:36Take that.
11:36A bit before my time as well.
11:38Oh, all right.
11:40So I like to sort of, like, encompass, pay homages to all those cops that I loved growing
11:46up, and movies I loved, you know, I put in little homages all over the place, like
11:52to Withnell and I, and movies, The Great Escape, and stuff like that.
11:55I just love sort of imbuing my performance with those, because every day you come in,
12:01you've got to try something new, you want to keep it fresh.
12:04You are fresh, man.
12:05Well, I'll try and keep fresh.
12:07You seem to be sort of relaxing into the most scatty version of yourself I've ever experienced.
12:15And let's face it.
12:16Sketchy or scatty?
12:17Both, in a way.
12:19Do you know what I mean?
12:19You seem to be sort of really free.
12:22I'm sort of loving where I am at the moment.
12:25Good for you, mate.
12:26Have you been asked to go on Traitors?
12:29No.
12:30Come on, you must have been.
12:31No.
12:32Wow.
12:33No.
12:33Would you go on if you were asked?
12:34No.
12:34No?
12:35Have you been asked on any of those kind of shows?
12:37Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:38Can you give us the top three?
12:39Yeah, strictly, strictly and strictly.
12:41Yeah.
12:42Yeah.
12:42Wow.
12:43Beyond Paradise is great, right?
12:45And I think it's all the greater for the fact that you are like you are, right?
12:49Because it's a square peg in a round hole, and that's fun, isn't it?
12:53That's punk in itself.
12:54And it's quite a mad little show.
12:56It is.
12:57And I love it, yeah.
12:58Do you think it could get a lot?
12:59I mean, we're in season four now.
13:01Yeah.
13:01Why don't you, when five, six, seven, you know, that's probably where it's going to
13:06be and where it's going to go, and you'll all be happy at the end of maybe six series.
13:10Do you think they could really stir it up in season five?
13:14Just get it.
13:14Well, season five, we're about to start shooting season five.
13:16All right, put it in the neutral bullet and have all the fun with it.
13:19Go on, I dare you.
13:20Yeah, okay.
13:20What do you think?
13:21Well, I mean, how long can a marriage last?
13:24I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
13:27I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
13:29You're so not kidding.
13:31You're so not kidding.
13:32I'm absolutely free.
13:32I'm not going to give away spoilers.
13:34I don't know.
13:34They haven't written it yet.
13:36It sounds like you do know.
13:37It sounds like they have.
13:39Do you ever try and wheedle things in that you like doing?
13:44I mean, would he go to Aston Villa?
13:48I mean, I would love to get that in the show.
13:50You've got to try.
13:51It's a long way from Plymouth, though.
13:53Well, it wasn't that far from Bath.
13:55No, no, no.
13:57You might be joking if he's not your thing, Chris.
14:00No, no, no, no, it's not.
14:01Geography's not my thing.
14:03It's, I don't know.
14:06I'm always like, let's get us a surfing episode.
14:09Yeah.
14:09We haven't had one of those yet.
14:10Yeah.
14:11All right, but you're not, I mean, you've got to be careful.
14:13So you can't swim, you can't run, I would imagine, at the moment.
14:15You can't surf at the moment.
14:16Can't do anything at the moment.
14:17Can't do anything at the moment.
14:18Apart from, give great interview on this show.
14:22Let's hear it for Chris Marshall.
14:25Never disappointing.
14:27Beyond Paradise continues to be on the BBC.
14:29We're on season four.
14:30It's great.
14:30People love it.
14:31People watch it in their millions.
14:32Once again, Chris Marshall, Beyond Paradise.
14:36Surfer, swimmer, runner.
14:38Just not at the moment.
14:40No, apparently.
14:42Just no scheme.
14:43No scheme.
14:45Still to come, Paul McCartney, but first, some more TFI gold from NXS.
14:52All you've got is a small man.
14:5721st century's list today.
15:01You can carry on the wall.
15:07Hey!
15:11I need you tonight.
15:15Because I'm not sleeping.
15:19There's something about you now.
15:24And it's this year.
15:26In excess.
15:28Wow.
15:28In excess on TFI Friday.
15:29Loads of TFI gold on YouTube.
15:31Just like a TFI and you'll see it all.
15:33And by the way, the first nine episodes of this show, TFI Unplugged, are available on YouTube.
15:36World Pub Geniuses by.
15:40This all looks very sophisticated.
15:42This is your normal set up in a pub.
15:44Yeah, of course it is.
15:45Most pubs have this ready to play with.
15:48All right.
15:48What are you claiming to be able to do here?
15:50Well, I'm claiming I will be able to put these four eggs into those pints without touching anything with my
15:56hands.
15:57Come on.
15:59Come on.
16:00Come on.
16:04Come on.
16:04Come on.
16:05Come on.
16:06Come on.
16:06Come on.
16:06Come on.
16:06Come on.
16:06Can be done.
16:08Drum roll, please.
16:09Drum roll.
16:09All right.
16:11Not too odd.
16:36We're going to be able to do this.
16:42We're going to be able to do this.
16:42We're going to be able to do this.
16:42We're going to be able to do this.
17:06Oh, we've had a review in The Guardian.
17:08This cosy yet hectic revival just about justifies its inexpensive existence.
17:16We've had worse. We'll take it.
17:20All right, let's have something very special.
17:22My next guest is the one and only Paul Wigartley.
17:49Oh, my God.
18:01Oh, my God.
18:08Now, Paul, Paul, on your new album, you've played most of the instruments yourself.
18:14Play a lot of them, yeah.
18:15OK. And you're a great drummer, apparently.
18:17Well, I do a bit, you know, on the sly.
18:19Can you do this? Can you do this? Can you do this?
18:24No, no. That's not called for in many of the songs which I've been doing.
18:29Can you do it?
18:30Can I do it? No.
18:31Go on up and go.
18:34Yeah!
18:35He knew! He knew he could do it!
18:37Near it.
18:38Now, look, we've had some friends faxes with some questions
18:41and these are the genuine faxes.
18:43We're going to show them on the screen just to prove it to you.
18:45If you want the proof, there you are.
18:47And the first question is from Bono. Bono's fax is from America.
18:51We've asked all these people, if they could ask Paul one question,
18:53what would it be? And here's the fax from Bono.
18:55It says, Paul, when I hear someone else's great song,
18:58I feel both elated and sick as a pig that I didn't write it.
19:01Do you ever feel the same way from Bono?
19:05Yeah, sometimes. Not really sick as a pig. I'm slightly jealous.
19:09And is there any one song that you thought, oh, that I'd like?
19:11Yeah, you know that Billy Joe one, don't go changing?
19:14Yeah.
19:15Do-de-doo.
19:17I thought that was very good, meself.
19:20All right, that's Bono's.
19:21Sean Ryder faxed us with a question. Sean Ryder.
19:25Sean's question is, what were you on when you wrote the frog chorus?
19:29Now, that's Sean's question, not mine. OK?
19:31Yeah.
19:33I was smoking pipes and drinking wine late at night.
19:36But, you know, it was inspirational, I thought.
19:40OK, all right. Well, that's Sean's question.
19:42What were you on?
19:42Question for Sir Paul McCartney from Richard and Judy, this one.
19:47Here it is. Genuine facts.
19:49Why are you on TFI Friday and not this morning?
19:54It's a much cooler show.
20:02But we like them, not when we do love them.
20:03But we love them. We do love them, yeah.
20:04Now, I think this is an absolute cracker.
20:06From Robert Smith of The Cure.
20:09Dear Paul, have you ever made a crop circle?
20:11I've heard rumours that you were involved.
20:14Can you pass on any tips, as when I tried to do one in Wales recently, you went horribly wrong.
20:20Yeah, well, Robert, love.
20:23What you have to do, you lie in a field and your feet must be at the centre of a
20:28circle.
20:28You just shuffle around a few times and then big jumps out.
20:34Huge jumps.
20:35That's how I do it, very big jumps.
20:37Skippy-like jumps.
20:38Very skippy, hippity-hoppity, out of the field and ring the daily thing.
20:43Get the photograph.
20:44Have you ever had any crop circles in your part of the world?
20:47No, we don't get a lot down where I am.
20:50Are you Sussex or Kent?
20:51Sussex.
20:52Are you short?
20:53Yeah, I'm dead short.
20:55I thought you were in Kent.
20:56George Best has faxed us.
21:00George says, I was once known as the fifth Beatle, where's my royalties percentage?
21:06Can you fax there, he is.
21:08Yeah, it's in the post, George.
21:11Some delays due to Christmas.
21:13Okay.
21:14We've got another one here.
21:15And this is...
21:16Oh, you'll like this one.
21:17This is from Ringo Starr.
21:19Oh, really?
21:20Oh, really?
21:21It really is.
21:22From Starling Music Limited.
21:23Rocking.
21:24Alright.
21:25Ringo's question to Paul is, who is his favourite Beatle?
21:34That's not an easy one, Rinks.
21:38There's no answer.
21:39And he knows there's no answer to that.
21:41I love you all.
21:44Because Ringo's playing drums on the album, isn't he?
21:46He is, and he's gorgeous too.
21:47Oh, beautiful though.
21:47I do love him very, very much, but no favourites amongst my children.
21:51Okay.
21:53George is a bit weird, isn't he?
21:55No.
21:57No, he's very good, our George.
21:58He's lovely.
21:59He's lovely.
22:00He's out there though, isn't he?
22:01He's just...
22:01No, not really.
22:02He is.
22:03No.
22:04He is, and he's done a great album with Ravi Shankar.
22:06Has he?
22:07Yeah, it's very out there, but lovely.
22:09You heard it?
22:09Yeah, gorgeous.
22:09All good?
22:10Yeah, penultimate track cracker.
22:12Alright.
22:14Melinda Messenger.
22:15Yeah.
22:16Right.
22:17To Alex, she says, which is strange, but she does.
22:19Has requested a question for Paul McCartney.
22:21If you could be in one of the bands that are around now, which band would it be?
22:26Oh, well, um...
22:29It would have been Nirvana, but no longer.
22:32Right.
22:33Um, and now who would it be?
22:36Joe Loss.
22:39I didn't know, you've got to go for it, Joe Loss.
22:42Alright, okay.
22:42Joe Loss, you're a great band.
22:44Alright, couple more.
22:44Ian Brodie.
22:45Ian Brodie with the lighting scenes, everyone.
22:47Sir Paul, he says here.
22:49Yes.
22:49Which footy team?
22:50Red or blue?
22:51He doesn't know, apparently.
22:54Um...
22:54Long story, long story, because I claim both of them.
22:57Which isn't really allowed, I know, but my dad was born in Everton.
23:02Right.
23:02Right.
23:03So I'm officially Everton, but they don't do very well.
23:06Liverpool do, and I love Liverpool too, so I'm having them both.
23:10You're having both.
23:10I don't care.
23:11Right, Liverpool.
23:12Now, this is another cracker.
23:13Frank Carson, right?
23:14In Frank's handwriting, 26th of June, 97.
23:16Dear Paul, what was the ticket to ride for a bus, train or plane?
23:21And...
23:21Ticket to ride.
23:22And why would you be sad if the girl that's driving you mad was going away?
23:26If she was driving you mad, you wouldn't, you'd be happy.
23:30It's very good, actually.
23:31That, yeah.
23:31Great question.
23:32That's a very good question.
23:33It's a cracker.
23:33Yeah, that is, yeah.
23:35It was a bus.
23:36Right.
23:36Actually, we were on.
23:37Yep.
23:38And the girl that was driving us mad at the time, um...
23:41We were getting away from her.
23:42We were very happy to get away from her, and I don't actually have an answer to her.
23:46But it's a good question.
23:47It's a heck of a question, yes.
23:49Okay, we...
23:50He knocked on my door once we were doing some show.
23:52He says, I just called to say I love you.
23:57Thank you, Paul!
23:58Our next guest, Superstar Time, is an amazing actor
24:01who's currently topping all the TV charts across the world
24:04with the number one show!
24:08The number one show in the world!
24:12Your Friends and Neighbours continues on Fridays on Apple TV,
24:15so let's have all the fun with Olivia Marr!
24:18Thank you, Paul!
24:23Thank you, Paul!
24:25How are you?
24:27We have a great surprise feature!
24:30We have an audience!
24:32Olivia Marr!
24:35The number one show in the world!
24:38How does it feel?
24:40It's really great.
24:41It's so, you know, whenever you do something, you put it out there,
24:44and a lot of times people say, like, no.
24:47We don't want this.
24:48And now for this show to be so well-received has been so exciting.
24:52Well-received.
24:53Number one!
24:55You're in the number one show in the world!
24:58I heard that, yeah.
24:59Yeah, it's so cool, isn't it?
25:01It's so cool.
25:02So you're here, you're working because you're doing this with me,
25:04but also Hubby's here, he's working.
25:06Yeah, I'm really here because he's here, and we said, like,
25:09can we go and meet you and come on and do this?
25:11I'm so excited.
25:12Oh, that's nice.
25:13So for people who don't know, Olivia is married to Tilly's favourite comedian in the world,
25:19literally in the world, John Mulaney, and he played the Palladium on Saturday?
25:23Yeah, two nights in a row.
25:24Two nights in a row.
25:24Wow.
25:25Gosh, and I'll tell you, I was there the last night,
25:27and the British, like, audience is incredible.
25:33Like, everyone is so energized, and it's just, it's just an incredible...
25:37In fact, I was sitting up in one of those, what are those seats, you know?
25:40Boxes.
25:41Boxes.
25:41Yeah, yeah.
25:42Royal boxes?
25:43You know how that works.
25:44And there's a guy sitting next to me, and he was just, like, slapping his knee and just laughing.
25:49And I got, like, a tickle in my throat at one point, and I start coughing.
25:53And I start coughing, and I can't really stop.
25:55And he just looks over, and he goes, go outside.
26:00He's like, I'm so sorry.
26:01What, respect for the act?
26:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:02He was like, respect for his laughing.
26:04He wanted to just, like, get me out of the way.
26:06Yeah.
26:06And you were sort of caught between Rock and the Heart plays,
26:07because he was saying the right thing, but he's like, it's my husband.
26:10Don't worry, I'm respecting him.
26:12I respect him all the time.
26:13I love my husband.
26:13And I haven't seen his set yet.
26:15I haven't seen any of this tour yet.
26:17Yeah.
26:17So I wanted to be able to see every joke, and I had to run out and, like,
26:22gag and then come back.
26:25Well, he was doing the same on stage, but in a different way.
26:28Yeah.
26:28But is he still funny then, officially, your husband?
26:30He's still funny.
26:31He's still funny!
26:34John gets loads of mentions in interviews like this with you.
26:36And I love it.
26:37Of course.
26:38And also, you know, he's very well-known in his own right,
26:40and you're very happily married, and it's all fun.
26:42But actually, the person that gets the most mentions,
26:44almost more mentions than whatever you're on to talk about,
26:47like your friends and neighbours, is Malcolm, young Malcolm.
26:49Yeah.
26:50He seems to be a 40-year-old man in a four-year-old's body.
26:55You know, so he's got this vernacular that makes me feel so insecure.
27:02Like, he goes, like, the other day, he said, he has this, the way that he phrases it is
27:08like this.
27:09I'll come in, and I'll have made him something, like, that I'm trying to make from scratch,
27:13and he goes, did you think I would want this?
27:17And I'm like, no, I mean, I just, I'm not, no.
27:22And he's like, and then he'll come in when we're, I'm like, sit down watching TV with him,
27:26and he'll look at me and go, did you, did you think I wanted you to sit with me?
27:29And I'm like, no, I just, I didn't even see you were there.
27:32I mean, I just, like, oh, you're here.
27:34Okay, great, great.
27:35Oh, Malcolm, how you doing?
27:36Yeah, it's always like, did you think that I would like that?
27:39Wonderful to have you here, your friends and neighbours.
27:41Let's just talk about these houses.
27:43They're mad.
27:43These houses are crazy, aren't they?
27:45There was this one home where we shot this year, and it's massive,
27:52and they've been trying to sell it, but the economy is different,
27:56even for really wealthy people, and everyone's just a bit different in how they're buying stuff.
28:00But he, it was, it's like a bowling alley and the basketball court and a movie theater.
28:06It's so massive, and they've been trying to sell it.
28:08And this owner was there on set and started screaming at everybody.
28:13He started, I was like, wait, what has happened?
28:15I came down, he was screaming, and he's a really big guy.
28:19And I went right up to him, and I was like, hey, what are you doing?
28:22Stop yelling at our crew.
28:23I don't understand what's happening.
28:25And he was like, well, people are on my floors, and they're supposed to stay on the carpet.
28:29And I was like, why did you rent out your home to us?
28:32Like, you're insane.
28:33He was like, well, it's also so loud, and my office is upstairs.
28:36And I go, if you can own this house, and you don't have an office somewhere else, that seems strange.
28:43And then later, and you know, like, sometimes those big guys are such, like, they're just so meek.
28:48And I think that he was not ready for someone to call him out on it.
28:51It was so crazy.
28:52He was yelling at, like, our background actors, and I thought, this is so crazy.
28:57And then he was like, he got really sheepish, and his wife came over, and she's like, he wants to
29:00apologize.
29:00He's like, I'm sorry.
29:04And you know what he was wearing?
29:05This is not a joke.
29:06He was wearing, keep calm and carry on.
29:09Yeah.
29:11And I was like, hmm.
29:13Dice.
29:13Hilarious.
29:14But also in those neighborhoods, we had to, if you look at this season, we've had to, like, find new
29:19homes and have new reasons.
29:21Like, someone sold their home, let's move on.
29:22Because these really wealthy neighborhoods, one person is like, they love our show, or they want to do it.
29:27So they're like, yeah, we're going to rent out our home.
29:29And then all the neighbors are really mad.
29:32Because these really wealthy people are like, we don't care that you guys are on TV.
29:35Like, don't be in our neighborhood.
29:37But somebody does let us, and it creates a lot of problems for us.
29:41There's a show behind the show, isn't there?
29:43Yeah.
29:43In a way.
29:43They're very mad.
29:44Does anybody do any of that kind of filming around?
29:47Yeah, you'd think that we would have thought of that.
29:51Season three, bring it on!
29:54Would you be around or not?
29:55Yes, I'm there.
29:56She's there!
29:57All right.
29:58And is it all the fun?
30:00Is it a fun gang?
30:01It is a really fun gang.
30:02It all comes across like you might be having all the fun.
30:05Yeah, it's really great.
30:06And last year, we had James Morrison come on.
30:08And this year, we have Michelle Monaghan.
30:10So I'm really excited because I'm such a fan of hers as well.
30:16And season two does end on a cliffhanger.
30:19I can say that.
30:20I can say that because I heard Jon Hamm say that on a panel the other day.
30:23And I was like, are we allowed to say that?
30:25If the Hamm can say it, you can say it.
30:26Yeah, yeah.
30:27So now I'm saying it.
30:28Well, thanks for coming to see us.
30:29Is it done now?
30:29Yes, okay.
30:31We do.
30:32Sorry.
30:32We don't have to be done.
30:33We don't have to be done.
30:35I mean, you stole food in your career earlier on.
30:38You can steal anything from here if you like.
30:40It doesn't matter.
30:40Take home.
30:41For real?
30:42Yeah.
30:42What would Jon like?
30:43The camera.
30:45You always steal the camera whether you intend to or not.
30:48Yeah.
30:48Let's leave it there.
30:49Olivia Merlin's been with us.
30:51Your friends and neighbours continues.
30:52It's the number one show in the world on Apple TV.
30:54It's on all the time.
30:55Watch it.
30:56You won't regret it.
30:57Once again, Olivia Merlin.
31:00Still to come.
31:01Hard five but first.
31:02I'm TFI Gold from Prince.
31:04It's advisable.
31:05Hey.
31:06If you want to be my baby.
31:08Got to tell me so.
31:10Overcome a little lady.
31:12Let it act like you know.
31:13You won't give your money my baby.
31:16Come on take my hand.
31:19I've been coming to money.
31:21I got gold by the ounce.
31:24Y to K.
31:25Not today.
31:26I write a check in the bank bound.
31:28Superballs would be my nickname.
31:30It's about love.
31:32No money back guarantee.
31:34Winner.
31:34I'm above.
31:35Stroke dance.
31:38Yeah!
31:41All right, welcome. My name is Prince and Pretty Man.
31:43And now from one legend to another, here's Peter O'Toole.
31:55I'll tell you what I want, what I will really want.
32:01Can be what you want, what I will really want.
32:05I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna, zig-a-zig-a-haw.
32:17Ooh, yeah.
32:27Does anyone know what F stands for in TFI?
32:32Oh my God, that's naughty.
32:35Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our first guest of the year 2000.
32:38And what a great start to the year. Here's Mariah Carey.
32:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
32:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
32:52CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
32:53CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:00CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:02CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
33:05Good, thank you. This is one of us. I'll keep it going, boys.
33:08Nice to meet you.
33:09This is Toby.
33:10How are you doing?
33:11How are you doing?
33:11Hi, thanks.
33:11He's a big fan of yours, huge fan of yours.
33:14You are.
33:15Yeah, loves you to death. I mean, I love you, but he is madly in love with you.
33:19Well, it's very nice to meet you.
33:23OK. Now listen, before we go any further, can I ask you, can I ask you, will you come out
33:27with us tonight for a beer because you look a right laugh?
33:30LAUGHTER
33:31I look a right laugh today.
33:32Yeah, you do?
33:33Might as well, if you've got lots of beer in the back, ain't nobody drinking it.
33:36Yeah, so, no, seriously, will you come out with me and words for a pint tonight?
33:38Well, I have to do a little taping. Actually, it'd be great if you would join me for it.
33:43What, the taping?
33:44Mm-hmm.
33:45Is it in the pub?
33:46OK, well, it was. Actually, you were thinking about doing it in a pub, to be honest with you.
33:50Were you?
33:50Well, it's sort of this wacky little thing I have going on and I can tell you about it if
33:53you want.
33:54OK, what is it?
33:54OK, I have a tour which begins on February 14th, Valentine's Day.
33:58And, um, did you see the video by any chance where I'm fighting the black-haired, evil, bad, evil twin
34:04that I have?
34:05We've got it. Do you want me to play it for you?
34:06Oh, sure.
34:07We've got it.
34:08That way we can explain what we're talking about.
34:09Yeah, OK, well, watch this. We've got this for you, right now.
34:11OK.
34:13OK.
34:22OK.
34:28OK.
34:29OK, so, so, thank you very much. I did all my own stunts and I was very bruised the next
34:35day, but that's besides the point.
34:36OK, now that we know about that, what I'm taping tonight is footage for my tour, which includes that girl,
34:43the evil Mariah, who is called Bianca.
34:45She's from Britain, actually. And she doesn't like me at all. She hates me.
34:50But if she's played by you, though.
34:51Well, I mean, that's a minor detail. But she is hosting my tour. So I don't know what's going to
34:57happen because she's very temperamental. You know, she has a lot of, um, issues.
35:02Does she want to come on The Lash with us?
35:03I think you might like Bianca better.
35:05OK. Better than you?
35:06You might.
35:07OK, well, I can have Bianca. Worthers can have you.
35:09OK.
35:10What a laugh. But there'll only be three of us.
35:13Well...
35:16So you're going to film all night, then?
35:18Uh, probably.
35:19OK, so you can't come out.
35:20Well, we might. Maybe we can stop by. Where are you going to be?
35:22Well, um...
35:23You can't say that, can you?
35:24We're just around.
35:24You'll get swarmed, won't you?
35:25No, we never get swarmed. People don't like us very much.
35:29So, um, so, so, you're here for how long in Britain?
35:32Oh, probably another few hours till I get on the plane and go somewhere else. I don't even know where
35:36I'm going.
35:36But I thought you were still...
35:37I think Germany.
35:37Are you not staying here for a while for your tour?
35:39Um, no, I'm coming back for the tour. First I have to go, oh, all over.
35:43Yeah.
35:43L.A.
35:44What, promoting or touring?
35:46Um, getting ready for the tour, but prior to that.
35:48Getting ready for the tour? Working out?
35:49No, rehearsing. I don't even know what I'm doing yet.
35:52That's another minor detail.
35:53When is the tour? It's February the 14th.
35:55Yeah.
35:56And you've not figured it out?
35:57I like to wing things.
35:58We like to wing things, don't we, Wes?
36:00Oh, yes, madam.
36:02So, when you come back here for the tour, how many nights will you be here for?
36:05Uno.
36:06Just one?
36:06Yeah.
36:07Yeah, it's kind of called One Night Only.
36:10Well, the reason is because I'm filming a movie in May.
36:13Yeah, because you're an actress now, aren't you?
36:14Well, darling, I think I always have been, haven't I?
36:17Oh, we are, I suppose.
36:19Yay!
36:21Don't you come back for that one night.
36:24Have you got anywhere nice to stay?
36:26Um, like someone's house?
36:28Yeah.
36:29It's always better to stay at a friend's house than in a hotel.
36:31It is more comfortable.
36:32Yeah?
36:33It is more comfortable at a home, but I don't have anyone who's offered me their home, so...
36:37Well...
36:38Never mind, I'll stay in a hotel then.
36:40Okay.
36:41What are you going to do?
36:42You seem to me, like nowadays, when you started off...
36:45Uh-huh.
36:45You didn't take yourself very seriously, but I'm not saying that, but you did, you were different,
36:48and now you seem like you're just having good fun.
36:51Would that be right?
36:51That would be an accurate observation.
36:54Yeah?
36:54In fact.
36:54So where was the fun hiding then?
36:56Oh, it was hiding inside me, but I was not allowed to let it out, you see.
37:00By whom?
37:00Oh, certain people.
37:02Any, any one particular person?
37:04Oh, well, I shouldn't say that, because it would be politically incorrect.
37:07Your ex-husband?
37:08Oh, I wouldn't go that far.
37:11Oh, I still have a few more singles to put out.
37:13Oh, okay.
37:15Because he was the boss of the company, wasn't he?
37:16Well, he still is.
37:17Is he?
37:17Is he?
37:17Oh, God, I'm sorry.
37:24Our next guest is your new favourite actor, and she really is.
37:26She's starring in the new drama, Mint, which is out now on BBC One and also on the BBC iPlayer.
37:31So let's get prepared for the amazing Emma Lynn!
37:42Nice!
37:44Great to see you.
37:45Congratulations, Emma.
37:46You're so good!
37:47Oh, stop it.
37:48How good is Emma Lynn?
37:50Oh my gosh, you're in everybody's favourite things all the time.
37:53Stop being in all the best stuff.
37:55Give somebody else a chance, Emma.
37:57I know, I don't stop.
37:58Alright, so Mint, I've seen all of them, you know I've seen all of them.
38:00This is crazy.
38:01Oh my gosh.
38:01My team have not even seen it all.
38:03Oh my gosh!
38:05Frankie, she says, I've seen three.
38:07Well, I've seen eight, Frank, alright?
38:08I've seen all eight.
38:09It's eight, three to me, to the old guy.
38:10Also, this is crazy, because I used to listen to you every morning when I went to school.
38:13You poor thing.
38:15It's so overstimulating in you.
38:17Oh my gosh.
38:17I just keep looking at this desk with all these, like, signatures.
38:20Amazing.
38:20Which keep getting rubbed off.
38:21We're gonna get, we're gonna sort this out.
38:24You'll sign this in a bit, Emma, if you don't mind.
38:25Oh my God, I'd love to.
38:26So, I mean, for lots of people, you know, you, you, you, was it Variety Magazine, you
38:30said you want, you're a Brit to watch in 2021 or 2022?
38:33Oh, I didn't say it.
38:33Well, I probably said that.
38:35No, no, Variety, I think Variety or Hollywood Reports, I mean, somebody said it, and they
38:38were right.
38:38And we're still watching you, you know.
38:40And as always, the best is yet to come from the best, no matter how good they've done it.
38:44The best is always yet to come with you.
38:46And I just suspect, and I don't know, because I don't know you, that you're, you're probably
38:49quite good at a lot of things and you've just landed on acting.
38:52I do know, you know, I mean, I wanted to be a musician when I was a kid.
38:54I knew this.
38:55I knew this.
38:57And I purposely haven't checked.
38:59I just, I just knew.
39:00Like through and through, I'm a, I was like an indie, oh, I'm an indie rock and roll girl.
39:05Like I just, I grew up having jobs so that I could go and watch like Reverend and the Bakers
39:10and Sheffield, you know.
39:11Like it was, that was my thing.
39:12Do you sing and play guitar?
39:13I do a little bit.
39:14Yeah, I play guitar quite poorly and I always, I'll always write.
39:18Maybe I'll do something with that.
39:19But I, you know, I was in bands when I was a teenager and I played the lead mill in
39:23Sheffield
39:24and then I, which was a massive moment for me.
39:27Sounds cool, doesn't it?
39:28And then I realised that I just found my footing with acting.
39:32I think I tried, I think I was alright at a lot of things.
39:34Yeah, yeah.
39:35So we haven't really said what the show is about.
39:37Oh, go on.
39:38No, you go, off you go.
39:39Oh, well, it's, I describe it as like a Glaswegian Romeo and Juliet modern day.
39:46Yeah.
39:46But also like, it's a bit of a shocker when you watch it because it's just what Charlie's
39:51done with the editing.
39:52It's super nostalgic and beautiful and weird and there's really nothing, nothing quite
39:56like it.
39:56Great cars in it.
39:57Some great cars.
39:59Yeah.
39:59Oh, is there?
39:59Yeah.
40:00Oh yeah.
40:00Like the old Range Rovers and stuff.
40:02Well, the one you drive, the Mercedes.
40:03That's like, where's that?
40:05All I can think about is how difficult those cars are to drive.
40:08Yeah.
40:08Because it's, it's, it's not like.
40:10My wife would agree with you, which is why I'm not allowed to have one anymore.
40:13An old car.
40:14So, so there's, there's, how many, how much should we give away?
40:16How much do we say?
40:17I suppose it is a modern, I mean, that's what all the gang said.
40:20It's Romeo and Juliet.
40:21That's what it is.
40:21Yeah.
40:21It's like a love story.
40:22It reminds me of Twilight, of when, I don't know if you ever saw the Twilight films.
40:26I didn't to be honest.
40:27As a, as a teenage girl, I'm sure there's many girls listening that can relate.
40:31It's like, yeah.
40:32Yeah.
40:33Twilight.
40:34Twilight was so important to so many girls.
40:37And, and guys.
40:38It's funny because there's the girl boy divide.
40:39It's all girls in the control room and all boys here.
40:42It's so good.
40:43And I just hope that Mint is what Twilight was for me to, for some people, you know?
40:48And, and why is Mint called Mint?
40:49Because that's the only thing I'd figure out.
40:50I have no idea.
40:51Nor have I.
40:52I was not as scared to ask you.
40:54Yeah.
40:55I think Charlie in an interview last week was like, I just like the word mint.
40:59Like it's like when people use it as slang issues, like it makes me think of green and
41:03I like green.
41:04So I'm not sure, but it's cool.
41:06I reckon it's in the, it's in the pipeline.
41:08We're going to find out.
41:09Yeah.
41:09Maybe there's a true hidden meaning.
41:11A hundred percent.
41:12Well, congratulations to you and the team.
41:13It is absolutely brilliant.
41:15Eight part TV series, Mint episode two out 9.30pm next Monday.
41:17But of course, all episodes, as I know, because I've watched them all, available on the BBC
41:21I Played.
41:22And that has been Emma Laird.
41:26Still to come apart by playing friends live, but first some TFI gold from Bryan Adams.
41:31You might stop a hurricane.
41:35Might even stop the driving rain.
41:40You might have a dozen other guys.
41:44But if you want to stop me, baby, don't even try.
41:49I can't stop this thing we started.
41:54You gotta know it's right.
41:58You gotta know it's right.
42:04You gotta know it's right.
42:05Thank you, Brian.
42:06Thank you for having me come to you, by God.
42:08All right.
42:08Just before we go, it's time for this week's Star of the Week.
42:10If you're watching the London Marathon this weekend, then I want you to wave your hands
42:13in the air like you just don't care and give all the support to Paul to the Polar Bear.

42:40Oh, my God.
42:42We'll sort that out for you.
42:43We'll sort the foreground out for you.
42:46You've also won the chance to tell us what's on next week's DFI.
42:51Drumroll!
42:55We have absolutely no idea.
42:58Yay!
42:59Have a great weekend.

43:46I brought down my street out of dust.
43:48I'm a fit.
43:49I'm all crying.
43:53I'm all crying, I'm okay.
43:56I'm sorry.

44:09I'm feel free.
44:12I want you to hear me.
44:12I'm happy.
44:13You're doing it.
44:14I'm happy.
44:14I'm happy.
44:17You're not.
44:17You're happy.
46:43That's 60 minutes of my life that I won't get back.
