00:09TFI
00:10Luke, whatever you want.
00:11TFI is to survive. Take it away.
00:17My name is Chris Evans, original presenter of TFI Friday.
00:24So Chris, how would you describe this TFI?
00:29Er, like the old one, only 1% of the budget.
00:37Am I getting paid for this?
00:41It's a bit cheap, isn't it?
00:45My, what, that one?
00:48TFI, to survive. Take that.
00:52So, yeah, I'm Kedge, and I'm the exec producer of TFI Unplugged.
00:56So, Evan says it's like the original, except 1% of the budget.
01:001%? No, no, it's much less than that.
01:03Don't tell him.
01:04Take, take, take.
01:06Boom.
01:07My name's Owen, and I've just started working on TFI Unplugged.
01:18What do you do, Owen?
01:20Er, you mostly get blamed for things.
01:22That seems a bit harsh.
01:25I love it.
01:28Did I feed you lot?
01:29No.
01:31I thought not.
01:31No, we'd never been fed.
01:33Total t-f**k, innit?
01:34Total t-f**k, innit?
01:36Definitely.
01:36Yeah.
01:52We've decided to act.
01:56If you have plans, do finally have no secrets,
01:59anyone?
02:00Let's take, trade.
02:02Do, actually.
02:02You really like the wondering.

02:10Hey, happy Friday, friends.
02:12Thanks for tuning in.
02:13This is actually episode nine of TFI Unplugged.
02:17And because it's episode nine, that means we can do this.
02:22Previously on TFI Unplugged.
02:29TFI Unplugged.
02:30What are you talking about?
02:32I look like Jedward.
02:35How many times did you do, TFI?
02:36Loads.
02:36It was like he was our second half.
02:38I'd rather top and go down than England win the World Cup.
02:42Yes, I've got it.
02:43It doesn't make for good TV.
02:44You can have that.
02:45Thank you very much.
02:46Basically, only homeless people turned up.
02:53All right, so that's all you've missed.
02:55But you can catch up on the first eight episodes of TFI Unplugged on YouTube.
03:00I know.
03:01Coming up tonight, we've got Sam Ryder on the show.
03:04Jack Sabaretti singing live.
03:07And India's biggest star, Shreya Gashal, on the show.
03:12But first of all, I've got a letter here about letters, actually.
03:16Hey, Chris, what is the current state of the It's Your Letters top five?
03:19Well, it's funny you should ask, because at number five in the all-time top five for It's Your Letters,
03:24it is, with It's Your Letters, Tony Bennett.
03:28Letters, It's Your Letters.
03:31Letters, It's Your Letters.
03:34At number four with It's Your Letters, it's Robbie Williams.
03:51And number three with It's Your Letters, It's The Bee Gees.
03:55It's It's Your Letters.
04:04It's It's Your Letters.
04:15It's It's Your Letters.
04:34How about that?
04:35And at number one with It's Your Letters, the founding father of It's Your Letters, it's Ree.
04:42It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
04:46It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
04:54Best audience ever.
04:56But the thing is, it's 2026, so we actually need an It's Your Whatapps, please, Mr. Jack Savaretti, if you
05:02don't mind.
05:07It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:12It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:17OK, now, is this better or worse?
05:23Once again, Mr. Jack Savaretti.
05:29It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:33It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:39And he has more.
05:41Once again, is this better or worse?
05:43Jack Savaretti.
05:48It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:51It's Your Letters, it's your letters.
05:55CHEERING
05:58How good is Jack Savaretti?
06:01Jack has a number one album today in the UK.
06:07So all we need now, by the way, is a What's Up, and I just happen to have one here
06:10from
06:11made-up name, Kelly from Kentucky.
06:13That'll do, OK.
06:14Kelly Kentucky says, she doesn't say, but we say.
06:17What's happened?
06:18See, what's happened?
06:18What's happened?
06:19I know.
06:20To Will since TFI last time.
06:23And is it true, he hasn't aged today?
06:25Well, let's find out.
06:26Please welcome back, Will!
06:29Will!
06:31Will!
06:36Oh, Will is back!
06:38Come and enjoy a bit of Will, everybody!
06:47Steve Denny has been dying to do that, haven't you?
06:48Don't do that.
06:49Louise!
06:50Don't do that.
06:51All right, we've been here before, haven't we, Will?
06:53I mean, we've been here anyway.
06:54Yeah, yeah.
06:5596, 97, 98, 99.
06:57But also, they're saying TFI is back, you know, first time since the 90s, but we've done it
07:02before.
07:03Yep, 2015.
07:042015.
07:05Was it 10 we did?
07:06We did a special.
07:08Right.
07:08Which was quite special.
07:09It was very special.
07:10It was a very special show.
07:11And then we did 10 more.
07:13All right, so we did 11.
07:14So we did 11.
07:15All right, so we brought it back, because Channel 4 said, why don't you do like a 20th anniversary
07:18show?
07:19They said 20th anniversary.
07:21Yes.
07:21We went, great, that's brilliant.
07:23I sat down and went, oh, it's 19, actually.
07:26Yeah, and they said, it doesn't matter, just call it the 20th.
07:28Yeah, yeah.
07:29So we did it.
07:29It's a very TFI thing to do.
07:30Yeah, it did really well, didn't it?
07:32And then they said, why don't you do some more?
07:33So we did some more.
07:34Yeah.
07:34So that was fun.
07:35Yeah, yeah.
07:35And then you went nuts.
07:36Then I went nuts.
07:37Not for the first time.
07:39Not for the first time.
07:42So when we were doing it back in the day, you were exec producer, and we did loads and
07:48loads of shows, and then I didn't do the last six, you didn't do the last six.
07:51Who did do the last six?
07:53Presented by the likes of a couple of Spice Girls.
07:56Elton did the last one.
07:57Elton John.
07:57Elton John did the last TFI Friday.
07:58He put it to rest, yes.
07:59Yeah.
08:00Well, it didn't go well for him, so he had to go back to singing.
08:03It was his top gear.
08:06At least that's how I'm going to frame it.
08:09So, yeah, and then it went away.
08:11Okay, and then what did you do?
08:12I produced this wonderful novel here, novella here, called How to Be a Pub Genius.
08:20Thank you very much for your admiration.
08:22Available in any good eBay's discount bin now for 50p.
08:25The thing is, because Pub Genius was a slot we did on the show, people loved it.
08:29And to the extent that you brought out this book, Will McDonald Pub Genius, did really
08:32well.
08:33You took it on tour, you had a whole live show, you had Dancing Girls, everything, pyrotechnics
08:36going on.
08:37I knew about that.
08:39It's, I mean, you call it a book, my other half calls it a pamphlet, because the ink comes
08:42off on your fingers.
08:44And what does your other half do for a living?
08:47She works in opera.
08:48Yeah, she's a little pamphlet, Pub Genius.
08:53No, but I knew about that.
08:54So what's the confession?
08:55The confession is, you probably don't know this, I brought out a second volume.
09:01You did not!
09:02I didn't know that!
09:04This now sounds like a plug for a book that came out 25 years ago.
09:08Will McDonald's here to talk about his new book.
09:11Seeing as you have two of these books out now, I think it's time for an updated reimagination
09:16of Will McDonald Pub Genius!
09:22I'm going to drink the beer in that glass, out of that sherry glass, cherry, ask your
09:28dad, anyone who's known what a sherry glass is, out of there without touching it with my
09:33hands.
09:33Right, at this point we'll go, no way!
09:36No, can't be done.
09:36No way!
09:38Can't be done!
09:39Can't be done!
09:41Impossible!
09:43The man's the fraud!
09:44Never going to have it!
09:46Never going to have it!
09:47Never going to have it!
09:49Don't believe it!
09:49Watch the microphone!
09:52That's the strangest heckle ever!
09:53Be careful with the microphone!
09:56What about my nice jumper?
09:58Can be done.
09:59Drum roll, please.
10:00Drum roll.
10:00Drum roll, please.
10:44Well, Pop Genius, Volume 3 coming soon!
10:49Let's hear from Will everyone!
10:51He remains the UK's official Pop Genius!
10:55Our next guest has the voice of an angel, the hair of a god, and the brightest smile in showbiz,
11:00he is a mentor in the new series, Your Song, which continues on Sundays on Channel 4.
11:05So let's make our whole day a lot brighter with Sam Ryder!
11:23Oh my god, Sam, Sam, Sam!
11:26Mate, I'm buzzing for this!
11:28We're buzzing on Channel 4, both of us on Channel 4!
11:30How are ya?
11:31I'm great, how's your new show?
11:32I was, like, getting goosebumps hearing your intro to show again, like that.
11:36I was just like, this is where you need to be.
11:38Well, this is it, we're back, you're back, and you have your own thing going on with Palermo
11:41Yes!
11:41Tell us all about it, Sam Ryder!
11:43Ah, it's berserk!
11:44So we go up and down the country, we bring a stage with us, this amazing crew that work tirelessly
11:50building this thing and setting it up and organising people just to get on that stage
11:54who have probably never sung in public before, by the way, with a live band, and the band
11:58are absolutely cooking!
12:00They're so good!
12:01And these guys just come, they share a story, could be something seismic that's happened
12:07in their life, the deepest, like, depths of their soul that they're sharing with total
12:11strangers that are just out shopping, walking down the high street, and they'll sing a song
12:16that's attributed to that feeling and that story, and the connection that you see being
12:21made, honestly, Chris, it is just beautiful, man.
12:24It's so, so lovely.
12:26And you're perfect for this, because, you know, you wear your heart on your sleeve and some,
12:30don't you?
12:30Well, I try my best to, like, I think it's a nice way to live, because you get to meet
12:35people where they're at, and you find out more about them, like, any interaction with
12:40a stranger, if you're emotionally open and your heart is open, I feel it's more valuable.
12:44So is it an anti-talent show, how would you describe it?
12:48I would say, I've never thought of it that way, but it's interesting, because there's
12:50no carrot, man, there's no, like, sort of, you know, you win a record deal at the end,
12:55or we'll put your single out, like, at the end.
12:57It's nothing like that, because these people, they're not professional singers, they're
13:03likely hadn't ever stood on a stage with a live band, like an actual drummer playing
13:08before, something like that, and they're singing a song that's totally just theirs.
13:12The words mean something different to them than they do to, like, anyone else in the
13:16world.
13:17All right.
13:17All the way to best songs.
13:18Here's the thing, though.
13:19If somebody comes on and smashes it, what are you going to do?
13:21You're not going to ignore them, are you?
13:22Well, no, you don't ignore them, but you, you, like, you have an event at the end of
13:26it, at the, um, the Hackney Empire.
13:28Yeah.
13:28And then all the singers, every single person's invited, everyone comes down and absolutely
13:33rinses the free bar.
13:34But a couple of the people from each round, like, we have them perform on the night.
13:41So that, that is the prize.
13:42There's no, there's no, there's no record deal.
13:44There's no, like, old tropes.
13:45It's made by the Bake Off people.
13:47Yeah, so it's got heart.
13:48Yeah, well, also the point is, I know that a lot of people who've won the Bake Off have
13:52gone on to do amazing things.
13:53Most of them have, in fact.
13:55That is hot, by the way.
13:56Sorry about that.
13:58I tried to style that out.
13:59It's not only our shows that are smoking, so is the tea.
14:02Things have changed at Channel 4.
14:04They bought a kettle.
14:05It's unbelievable.
14:07Not only you, but Paloma Faith as well, and Alice and Hammond as well.
14:09Yeah, man, they're fantastic.
14:11I mean, they're mad as a box of frogs, like, both, but they're so good to be around.
14:15But individually, they're bonkers.
14:16Yeah, no, but together, all of us, do you know what I mean?
14:18They sprinkle a bit and ride her on top.
14:20Yeah, yeah, mate.
14:20Who knows what might happen?
14:21All of our laughs also are so cackly, it's unreal.
14:25So I'm like, ha, ha, ha, and, like, Paloma as well, and Alison.
14:28So the three of us laughing together, it's like the Witches of Eastwick around the cauldron.
14:31Alison Hammond's laugh is second only to her smell.
14:36She's the greatest smelling person in the show.
14:38Oh, mate, she's great.
14:39Unbelievable.
14:40And so do you get together?
14:42Did you, like, do you perform at any point, you and Paloma?
14:44We just, every now and then, we'll jump up.
14:46Like, there's a little, um, they call it a golden hour.
14:49So anyone passing by that sort of wants to get involved can just jump up and sing.
14:54And it's so lovely, man, because you'll just see someone passing by with literally holding
14:59a bag of shopping and be like, I'll have a go.
15:01I love it.
15:02Everyone's getting involved.
15:03I love it.
15:04It's such a simple concept, isn't it?
15:06Yeah.
15:06This, it's like, it's music to your ears and it's the wind beneath your wings.
15:09Yeah, mate, absolutely.
15:11And I just want to sing wind beneath my wings now.
15:14Well, I always told you're on vocal.
15:16Yeah, I know, mate.
15:17Can you hear my voice?
15:17Can you hear my guitar?
15:20Are you working on anything new at the moment, Sam?
15:22Um, always, but, no, mate, honestly, you don't want to hear it.
15:27It is bad.
15:28So, seeing as we're now back on Charter Ball, a pair of us.
15:35Last orders of the bar, not just someone I'm drinking at the moment.
15:38How long have you not had a drink for?
15:39Um, over two years.
15:42Yeah, you?
15:43Nearly three.
15:44Mate, come on.
15:45Which is ironic, because the last time we did have a drink was together in a sauna.
15:48Yeah, absolutely never.
15:50Yeah.
15:51Yeah.
15:53Highly unrecommended.
15:54That's, like, the worst possible thing you can do in a sauna.
15:56We went to be hydrated in a sauna with a bottle of tequila.
15:58Yeah, it was.
15:59It was good to do that.
15:59Yeah, and that's probably what it did for both of us, I think, wasn't it?
16:02Yeah, it was.
16:02That was our bottom.
16:03Yeah, that was absolutely the Lancaster, all the engines out, just bang.
16:08It really was, wasn't it?
16:09Sam, great to see you, ma'am.
16:10Mate, this has been so fun.
16:11All right, this has been Sam Ryder, everyone.
16:13All right.
16:15Okay, okay.
16:16All right, we'll be back after the break with more CHFI Unplugged.
16:19Yay!
16:27All right, we'll be back after the break with more CHFI Unplugged.
16:50Oh, yeah, have you waited?
16:54I can't believe you faked it.
17:00Wow.
17:02That was the brilliant Garbage and Stupid Girl.
17:06How good is that?
17:07All right.
17:07Still to come on CHFI Unplugged, India's biggest star, Shrega Scholl's going to be here.
17:13She's going to be performing an amazing cover of Coldplay's Fic Cube.
17:16Plus, we reveal the winner of Slurpsy Jolly Juggler 2026.
17:21I know.
17:22I know.
17:23The finalists are amazing.
17:24Will it be Olympic gold medallist Matt Weston?
17:31Not bad.
17:33Or will it be Patrick McDreamy, Dr McDreamy Dempsey, with it?
17:39Yeah!
17:43Very good.
17:44Or will it be Rockin' Ross Noble, juggling and eating?
17:53Exciting stuff.
17:54And remember, Celebrity Juggling fans, your vote counts.
17:58And most importantly, you can only think your vote's in.
18:01Remember that, OK?
18:02Yeah, no, we don't accept any actual real votes.
18:07Sorry.
18:08Who watches this rubbish?
18:10All right, now it's time for something very special on TFI Unplugged.
18:14Every single week, we're going to bring some TFI gold.
18:17And where better to start than with...
18:19David Bowie.
18:39Hello, Chris.
18:40Welcome to the show, sir.
18:41Thank you very much.
18:42OK.
18:45I think if you put Clive on his back, he'd be taller than me.
18:48Sorry?
18:48If you put Clive on his back, he'd be taller than me.
18:50All right, now listen, you've got these high-heel things.
18:52Very high-heel shoes.
18:54But they don't count...
18:54Oh, OK, it counts.
18:56Well, look, there you go.
18:57I'll give you...
18:58I should...
18:58Measure out 5 foot 10 and a half.
19:00I can't do 5 foot 10 and a half.
19:02Yes.
19:03Are you 5 foot 10 and a half?
19:04Yes.
19:04You're not 5 foot 10 and a half.
19:05I'm 5 foot 10 and a half.
19:07OK, all right, hang on a minute.
19:08Hang on a minute.
19:08Let's see.
19:09What are you?
19:10Let's see.
19:11There you go.
19:11There you go.
19:12That's pretty accurate.
19:13David.
19:14I'm still big.
19:15Bowie?
19:18Go on.
19:20Carry on.
19:21W-I-N-K.
19:22OK, officially, David Bowie is taller than Beno.
19:24There you go.
19:30Oh, yeah.
19:33So, David.
19:34I had a hell of a time getting here.
19:35I know.
19:36Go on.
19:36I know you want to talk about this.
19:37Go on.
19:37Let me tell...
19:38No, you don't know.
19:39I tried to cross Hammondsmith Bridge, and I didn't know that the rich people have got it all blocked up.
19:44Right.
19:45So, I got fined, dragged into court.
19:48All that.
19:48All in the last half hour.
19:49No way.
19:50Yes, it's absolutely true.
19:51And I've had gastroenteritis.
19:53Oh.
19:55All in the last half hour.
19:57Hey, Colin, you tell the gastroenteritis is still doing the rounds?
20:00Do you know how I got that?
20:01Go on.
20:01I was in Indonesia.
20:02I was lost in the jungle.
20:04This is absolutely true.
20:07What?
20:07I believe you.
20:08And an old man with one leg and a donkey found me and took me to a glade and pointed
20:15to a temple and a palace.
20:17And I said, I'm not Muslim.
20:20Wife is.
20:20I'm not.
20:21So, we're going to the palace.
20:22You're going to let me go on with this, aren't you?
20:24I'm dead right, mate.
20:25You started it.
20:26We got to the palace and it's the son of, I think he was a gunrunner, and he had guys
20:31in turrets all around the palace with guns to keep the poor people out.
20:35He was so pleased to see me that he put a sheet up in the garden at the bottom of
20:39the
20:39garden, pouring with rain.
20:42Yeah.
20:42Servants holding a sheet up at the far end of the garden, had a projector on the porch
20:47where we were, and we sat and watched Sahara with Brooke Shields.
20:55Then, then he threw a party and he had seven daughters and seven sons.
21:02Yeah.
21:03I always laugh when I say that.
21:05And the seven daughters, they entertained me royally with dance and, no, flute playing.
21:12Flute playing and dance.
21:14And he fed me things like monkey breast and parrot beak, I think it was.
21:20It was the course that night, and the next day, I redecorated the bathroom.
21:26But he sent his daughter over to me, his favourite daughter.
21:30He sent to me, if you know what I mean.
21:33Yes, to you.
21:34I couldn't make it to the front door.
21:37Go away.
21:38You're beautiful, but go away.
21:40This was many years ago.
21:41That has nothing.
21:43This has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that I got gastroenteritis the other day.
21:48That was just, it just reminded me, though, that I've had it twice.
21:59We're going to talk about the chair.
22:01Okay.
22:01Should we talk about the chair?
22:02No, you can talk about whatever you want.
22:04This is the second worst chair I've sat on today.
22:07Show them.
22:07Show them the chair.
22:08Look at this chair.
22:09That chair.
22:10The first one is owned by Richard Branson on Virgin Airlines.
22:14And he has, no, they're fabulous.
22:16Virgin Airlines are great, except this one.
22:19It's the 747-200 series.
22:21And he bought it from Cathay, I think, Cathay Pacific.
22:24And they've left the old chairs on, the Chinese chairs, but they've just put virgin material on it.
22:30And you can't, you know, it won't go anywhere.
22:32It's all, and so I slept like that.
22:36I've only just, I've been up for 29 hours.
22:39We can tell, can't we?
22:42This is me straight, buddy.
22:44You're lucky you didn't know me 25 years ago.
22:49How are you doing?
22:50I'm great, actually, great.
22:51Good.
22:52You used to stay up for seven to eight days at a time.
22:54I did indeed, yes.
22:55Now, what's that like?
22:56I had a lot of friends.
22:58And you've got to give friends time.
23:01Was that the drugs, then?
23:04What, that attracted the friends, you mean?
23:06The reason I had friends?
23:08Probably, yeah, I imagine.
23:09They all disappeared when I stopped doing drugs, so I think you're probably right on the money there.
23:13So, did you find that you wrote better songs or worse songs when you did the old, you know?
23:18Well, as I wrote things like Low, Heroes, Lodger, Scary Monsters, or Straight.
23:23By the way, by the way, by the way.
23:27Without drugs.
23:30Pretty much without drugs.
23:33I don't think, I think it's just an attitude more, you know, whether you're enjoying it and, you know.
23:38But you don't have a drink now either, do you?
23:39I don't drink and I don't drug, no.
23:41But you smoke facts and you drink coffee.
23:43Oh, God, yeah.
23:44I'm dying for a cigarette.
23:46Well, you can't have one on the telly.
23:48We're not allowed to.
23:48In the old days you could, but you can't anymore.
23:50Seriously.
23:50You can have one in drama, but this ain't a drama.
23:52Mind you, you're turning it into one.
23:54It's not a drama or a...
23:56If you were, if the harm that cigarettes did could be seen on the outside of your body...
24:01Could be bottled and sold.
24:02Well, it is, I suppose.
24:04You could provide half the mercenaries in America with a new weapon, couldn't you?
24:07But if it was visible...
24:08Forget anthrax, buddy.
24:10Nicotine in the...
24:11They did a program on American television the other night.
24:14I cannot believe it.
24:16As though we haven't got enough problems.
24:18Dateline did this thing.
24:18Let's recreate what would happen if terrorists threw anthrax down on the American subway.
24:25And they spent all this money showing us how 500,000 people would be dead in one day in New
24:31York.
24:32How bodies would be piled up because all the gravediggers would have buggered off to Queens or wherever they come
24:37from.
24:39Brooklyn?
24:39I don't know.
24:40Where do gravediggers come from?
24:41I don't know.
24:42Yeah.
24:43See, the questions this kind of debate rises.
24:46And it went on for about an hour and I was so depressed at the end of it.
24:50Realising that I really mustn't stay in cities where even the tiniest possibility of anthrax being loosed upon me and
24:58my family.
25:00But then I forgot all about it in a half an hour because friends came on.
25:05And that's the world we live in?
25:06That's the world we live in.
25:07It is.
25:07Sure enough.
25:08Who are the best kisses...
25:09Stop smiling, your camera's shaking.
25:12Who are the best kisses, men or women?
25:14Uh, why ask me?
25:19Do they kiss differently?
25:24You know, there are a lot of doctors who can actually help you with this.
25:32David, actual baby.
25:33That seemed to work, didn't it?
25:34So let's do it again.
25:35Here's the cure, back after the break.
25:39I don't care if Monday's blue.
25:43Tuesday's great and Wednesday too.
25:46There's no, I don't care about you.
25:49It's Friday.
25:50I don't care about you.
25:53I don't care about you.
26:23The Cure with Friday, I'm in Love.
26:27Okay, our next guest, it's Jack Savoretti!
26:35Number one, baby!
26:39Number one!
26:40I'm glad you're...
26:41How does it feel to be number one?
26:44What a way!
26:45I feel like I'm slightly too old for this.
26:47No way!
26:48But it's all thanks to you, man.
26:50The promo that you...
26:51It's not all thanks to me.
26:52You wrote the Darn Songs and you've been in it forever.
26:55Yeah, forever. It feels like forever.
26:57We Will Always Be There.
26:58The brand new album from Jack Savoretti
27:00is currently number one in the year.
27:03Yeah, absolutely smashing the opposition.
27:06It's all true.
27:07Like, okay, so Cruel World, Holly Humberston.
27:10Amazing record.
27:11Yeah, nice one, Holly.
27:13But so close, but no cigar.
27:16They're at number two.
27:17Ella Langley, Dandelion.
27:18They're all amazing records.
27:20They're all amazing.
27:20And then there's this newbie, Olivia Dean.
27:23Olivia Dean.
27:24I told you that when they put a picture of me and her
27:27on socials on the official chart,
27:28and my daughter thought it was like me pranking her.
27:30Yeah.
27:31She didn't believe that I was actually...
27:32Well, first of all, you thought it was somebody pranking you.
27:33I thought I was being pranked.
27:35I wasn't going to say that.
27:37I thought I was being pranked.
27:39Yeah, and Ray's at number five as well.
27:41I'm such a fan of all of these artists.
27:42But once again, let me say,
27:43Jack Savoretti at number one, my friend.
27:47I didn't prepare a speech, right?
27:48No, well, clearly.
27:52But when were you told?
27:54When did the whispers start getting loud enough for you to hear
27:57that this might be something special?
27:58It was online.
27:59I mean, I asked everybody before the campaign even started.
28:02I was like, look, I don't want to know anything.
28:04Because it's not something I set out to do.
28:07It's not something that's in my reason for going for it.
28:10But the minute you know you really want it,
28:13the minute they give you that thing of like,
28:14look, we might be up in for a chance of a number one album,
28:17you suddenly start to think,
28:18it's just such a nice way to thank everybody
28:20that's helped you make the record.
28:22Of course it is.
28:22You can make it mean nothing.
28:23It can mean absolutely nothing to you.
28:24Or you can make it mean everything
28:26to the people that are involved with this.
28:27Yeah, and that's so important, isn't it?
28:29Yeah.
28:29We've had loads of messages
28:30because people knew you were coming on.
28:32You've got loads of fans,
28:33loads of people looking forward to the Royal Albert Hall next week.
28:35Yeah, that's another thing keeping me up at night.
28:37We're playing the Royal Albert Hall,
28:38which is good.
28:39But you've done this before.
28:39Not for my own, not on my own back.
28:42I've opened up for people.
28:43No, you've done gigs before.
28:44Oh, I've done gigs.
28:46It's just a different room.
28:48It's a different room.
28:48You know when the decorators come in
28:50and you have to move the sofa out
28:51from the living room to the kitchen?
28:53It's the same thing.
28:54I'm telling myself,
28:55I keep telling the band that,
28:57like I'm preaching exactly what you're saying.
28:58I'm like a football manager.
28:59I'm like, we stick to our game plan.
29:00But you don't believe it.
29:01But I'm dying inside.
29:03The band will go,
29:03Jack, we're fine with this.
29:04Yeah, well, no, look,
29:06it is like a football player playing Wembley.
29:08Everybody wants to bring their A game.
29:09And it does make a difference.
29:11There's something about that room
29:12when you walk into it.
29:13It's not the size of it.
29:14It's the regalness of it,
29:16the majesty.
29:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:17And it's intimate.
29:18And that's kind of really wonderful,
29:20but disconcerting how intimate it is.
29:22It's like a velvet cushion, isn't it?
29:25There's lots of velvet around.
29:26There's lots of crushed red velvet around.
29:28It's lush.
29:28The acoustics are fantastic, aren't they?
29:30The acoustics are fantastic.
29:32They're really good for voice.
29:33And if you keep it quite intimate,
29:34if you go too big,
29:35it can sort of bounce all over the place.
29:37All right.
29:38So if you've got a ticket for next week,
29:39he's not going big.
29:40You might as well stay home.
29:42Oh, no, we're going to go big,
29:43but on a different level.
29:45So will it change?
29:47Will the rhythm of the show change
29:49because of where it is?
29:50No, that's another thing.
29:51We're really trying to stick to our guns.
29:53And the band playing with me
29:55is my band for pretty much 15 to 20 years.
29:56Some guys have been with me for ages.
29:58And they're the guys playing on the record.
30:00So this is kind of like
30:01the first time we're playing the record
30:03from top to bottom.
30:03And we're doing something really grown up.
30:06I stole this idea from Arcade Fire.
30:08We're going to do the new album,
30:09top to bottom,
30:09then have an interval.
30:12Oh, right.
30:14Exactly.
30:15Is that because you...
30:16Because we're so grown up now.
30:17We need a brand.
30:18We're so old.
30:19You need a we.
30:21That's the thing.
30:22The first time this ever happened to me,
30:24right,
30:24I went to,
30:25I think it was the Eagles.
30:27I think it was the Eagles.
30:29Amazing.
30:29One of my dream shows.
30:30Yeah, one of the dream shows.
30:31And there was an interval.
30:32And I was like,
30:33an interval?
30:34This is interesting.
30:35And I'm thinking,
30:35OK, it's beer time.
30:37But of course,
30:38you then go from the stadium,
30:40from your seat,
30:41and you go down to where the beers are.
30:43You think,
30:43it's going to be a big queue.
30:44I better get there as quick as I can.
30:45No,
30:46the queue for the Luz
30:47was so much longer
30:48than the queue for the beers
30:49because of the demographic
30:51of the audience.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Yeah.
30:53I mean,
30:53I kind of put myself in that.
30:55Like,
30:55it'll be nice to have a little
30:56half an hour rest.
30:57I think the band needed,
30:59the band needed a comfort break
31:01as much as the audience.
31:02We did a sort of,
31:03we did a show,
31:03like a warm-up show
31:04in Liverpool about a month ago
31:05just to sort of see
31:06if we could actually play
31:07this stuff live.
31:08And we had an interval.
31:09And we were all like,
31:10why have we never done this before?
31:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:11It was so nice.
31:12We got this.
31:13It's like a half-time
31:13in a football game.
31:14You get to recap.
31:15I love what you did on that thing.
31:16Let's do that in the second.
31:16Smelling salts.
31:17Bit of a rub down.
31:19Two beers.
31:20Yeah, why not?
31:20Two shots.
31:21Especially if it's going really well.
31:22That's the problem.
31:23You've got to not celebrate though.
31:25It's only half-time.
31:26We learned that on our warm-up run.
31:29Don't get too excited.
31:30You can't really win it in the second half,
31:31but you can lose it in the second half.
31:32Absolutely.
31:33Oh my gosh,
31:33I don't want to sew that suit.
31:35Don't blame this on me.
31:36No, no, no.
31:37We won't.
31:37Nice.
31:38We'll keep it together.
31:38But it's really cool.
31:39And then the second half of the show,
31:41we're going to do our sort of old friends,
31:43our almost hits.
31:43It's going to be like an hour.
31:45You're almost hits.
31:46You should have an almost greatest hits album.
31:48An almost greatest hits.
31:49But you don't need to,
31:50because I don't know if you know,
31:51but Jack's the most is currently number one in the UK.
31:56Oh, Jack, Jack, Jack.
31:58Where was this new album?
31:59Where was it?
32:01How was it born?
32:02Where did it come from?
32:03It was born out of,
32:04it's actually one of the few albums,
32:05first albums I've done in a long time
32:07without any preconceived concept,
32:08which sounds a bit clumsy.
32:10But in the past,
32:10I've sometimes protected the substance
32:12of what I'm saying in songs with style.
32:14It's a bit like,
32:15if you feel like you're having imposter syndrome
32:17or you kind of don't feel like
32:19you may be up to scratch
32:20with what you're supposed to be doing,
32:22you dress it up a bit.
32:22And I've done that in the past.
32:23I've always,
32:24also to protect the substance.
32:26With this one,
32:27I was like, no style.
32:28We're going full substance.
32:29This is jeans and t-shirt album.
32:30It'll do what it does.
32:31And you no longer need to fear Olivia Dean
32:33because you're number one.
32:35Can we hear it for the current number one
32:38selling artist in the UK album chart?
32:41It's Jack Savarelli.
32:45Now I've had lots of people asking,
32:46is Will McDonald still here?
32:48Will!
32:49Will!
32:51Will!
32:52Will!
32:52Will!
32:54It's Will!
32:56He loves that.
32:57He doesn't, he hates it.
32:58All right, coming up now,
33:00Jack Savarelli.
33:00Please welcome Jack Savarelli
33:01with the ocean colour scenes
33:03The Day We Call The Train!
33:06I never saw it as the start
33:09It's more a change of heart
33:14Wrapping on the windows
33:16Wispin' down the chimney pots
33:20Blowin' off the dust
33:21In the nowhere I forgot
33:23I laid my plans inside and dry
33:28Steppin' through the door
33:29Like a troubadour
33:30While they're just an hour away
33:33Lookin' at the trees
33:35On the roadside
33:36Feelin' it's a holiday
33:39You and I should ride the coast
33:42And wind up in our favorite coast
33:44Just find some way
33:48Roll a number
33:50Write another song
33:52Like Jimmy heard the day
33:55He caught the trail
33:56Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
33:59Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
34:01Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
34:04Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
34:08He sipped another rum and coke
34:13Told a dirty joke
34:16Walkin' like a grouch
34:18You're suckin' on a number two
34:22Holdin' on the floor
34:23With the cigarette burns
34:25Walked in
34:25I miss the crush
34:27And I'm home again
34:29Hey!
34:30Steppin' through the door
34:32With the night in store
34:33While I'm just an hour away
34:36Steepin' to the sky
34:37In the star
34:38Bright feelin' it's a brighter day
34:41Well you and I
34:42Should ride the coast
34:44And wind up in our favorite coast
34:46Just miles away
34:50Roll a number
34:52Write another song
34:55Like Jimmy heard the day
34:57He caught the trail
34:58Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
35:01Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
35:04Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
35:06Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh
35:10You and I should ride the tracks
35:13And find ourselves just wading through tomorrow's
35:19You and I
35:20We're not comin' down
35:21We're only gettin' back
35:22And you know I feel that sorrow
35:25We've got the whole wide world
35:28Yes
35:29When you find the things are gettin' wild
35:32Don't you want days like these?
35:35When you find the things are gettin' wild
35:37Don't you want days like these?
35:40When you find the things are gettin' wild
35:43Don't you want days like these?
35:45Like these
35:46Whoa-oh-oh-la-la
35:49Whoa-oh-oh-oh-la-la

37:16It is Shreya Gishal
37:32You're so welcome
37:34You're so welcome
37:35Thank you
37:36Shreya Gishal, you are gracing us with your presence
37:38Your band are here
37:39Tell us about your latest tour to the UK
37:41What's been going on?
37:42Yeah, so we were here for the Unstoppable Tour
37:46And we just finished our London Auto Arena
37:50Which was the first for me as well
37:52Like the Auto Arena
37:53And it was a wonderful tour
37:55It started from Manchester, Birmingham and then London
37:58Okay, was this like a taste tour?
38:01Are you going to come back and do more dates?
38:02You've got to
38:03Yes
38:04The response we're getting just from you
38:06From when we said you were going to be on the show
38:08Oh my gosh
38:09And you've recorded over 3,500 songs
38:12Yes
38:12I mean that's incredible, isn't it?
38:14It's like
38:15It's something sort of
38:16You know
38:16Our sort of world of rock and roll
38:18You know
38:19If the Beatles recorded 400 or 500
38:21You're 3,500
38:23Oh no
38:24You're 3,000 ahead of the Beatles
38:26How does that feel?
38:27Oh God, no
38:27Nothing like that
38:28But I think it's just the
38:29The amount of work that happens back in India
38:32Because it's not just Hindi
38:34Which is the main language spoken
38:36There are so many different regional languages as well
38:40You've enjoyed over 12 billion downloads and streams
38:43And you have like tens of millions of followers
38:46On all the social medias
38:4734.1 million followers on Instagram
38:49What does that feel like
38:51To have that sort of
38:52That quantity of
38:53A, output
38:54B, love
38:56You know
38:56Clearly people absolutely adore what you do
38:59Do you have to sort of
39:01Can you
39:01How does one deal with that?
39:04Or do you just
39:04Is it
39:05Do you just have to park it?
39:07I suppose
39:08I don't think so much about this
39:10I mean
39:11If you start thinking about
39:12How to manage
39:14Listeners
39:16Algorithms
39:16Social media
39:17Then I think the music takes a backseat
39:19So I just focus on the music
39:21And everything follows
39:22Yeah
39:22That's easy
39:23But you have just said
39:24You have also said
39:25You know
39:26You look after your fans
39:27There's literally more and more
39:29Coming on board
39:30All the time
39:30Yeah
39:31And so
39:31You have to sort of
39:33You are aware of it
39:34Of course you're aware of it
39:35Yeah
39:35And you do engage with your fans
39:36I do
39:37But
39:38You have 4 billion more listens
39:41Than there are people on the planet
39:43On the planet
39:44So where are they listening to me from?
39:47Mars!
39:48Right
39:49You prepared something very special for us tonight
39:51Can you tell us the story behind it please?
39:54Oh
39:56So when Coldplay
39:58Performed in Wembley in 2017
40:01We were there
40:02I think
40:03We
40:03Me and my husband
40:06We
40:07Have the most fondest memory
40:09Of being in that concert
40:10And we
40:11Can't
40:12Forget
40:13Those memories
40:14And then when finally Coldplay came to Mumbai
40:17And they played
40:18I was there
40:19Again
40:19And I
40:20I think
40:21Literally
40:22Tears
40:22Streaming down your face
40:24It was true
40:25And
40:27It's special
40:28I think that song
40:29Has a lot of depth
40:30And a lot of meaning
40:31To not just me
40:32To many people
40:33It fixes their problems
40:35And their
40:36Their

41:17Star of the week
41:17Please welcome
41:18Super Max
41:19Yeah
41:21Hi Maxie
41:23Alright
41:23Tell everyone about yourself
41:24So my name is Max
41:26I have a lifelong condition
41:27Called osteogenesis
41:28Infecta
41:29Otherwise known as
41:31Brittle bone disease
41:31Meaning that my bones
41:33Are a lot more fragile
41:33Than other people's
41:35I get a lot of
41:36Chronic pain
41:36And fatigue daily
41:37And it means I have to use
41:39Distraction techniques
41:40To kind of
41:40Try and put the pain
41:42Out of the picture
41:43So that I can
41:44Focus on everyday life
41:45Such as
41:46I use fidget toys
41:48I do things like
41:50Listening to audio books
41:51Playing a bit of Lego
41:52And coming on
41:53TV shows
41:54Coming on television
41:55Yeah
41:57Alright
41:58Now you are
41:59Supported by a charity
42:00And now you also
42:01Support that charity
42:02Yep
42:02So the
42:03Brittle bone society
42:04Is a charity
42:05That has supported me
42:05Literally throughout
42:06My entire life
42:08From the moment
42:09I was diagnosed
42:09So they have helped
42:11With grants
42:12And funds
42:13And they've been there
42:13For me
42:14Whenever I needed them
42:15So I wanted to say
42:16A big thank you to them
42:17And I wanted to raise
42:18A bit of money for them
42:20So that they could
42:22Be able to help
42:23Even more people
42:24So I did
42:25A sponsored bike ride
42:26Which was the length
42:27Of 26.2 miles
42:29Equivalent to a marathon
42:33So I rode that
42:34Around my local area
42:36And after that
42:37I managed to raise
42:38£142,000
