02:52You said you said it's the last show I'll be cut to in a blink of an eye
02:5730 years from now the longest running show ever
03:02No, no more words
03:05We were on the first show
03:08I'm going to start with this. How do you feel about the set?
03:13I think it's stunning
03:14I'm loving I'm like I like the height
03:16Yeah, go ahead because and I like the back being here being close to the actual back. Yes, you know,
03:23they don't have back. Oh, I'm so sorry
03:29I'm basically on a buffet actually or my parents used to have a buffet and then when I came out
03:35they suddenly changed it to the footstool
03:41Oh
03:47It's all all new I would call this a hunter green possibly. Yes, correct. Very manly kind of
03:55British British screen. Yes hunter would you call emerald green dark teal?
04:01Would you dark white teal?
04:04Would you like to meet the woman who chose the color of the sofa?
04:08Here's the scene we go to a basement a sort of sofa workshop. Oh, yeah, we all go as a
04:15gang
04:15We meet a woman called Trudy. We couldn't decide between two colors Trudy is here Trudy
04:29You you chose this color did you not it was really you chose the color amongst 70 other options?
04:39And we designed and made the sofa that it goes on. Wow. Well done Trudy. What would you call this
04:46color, please?
04:46I would call it a very dark teal
04:55I do think as well you guys who work in furniture shops are great. It's not a furniture shop. Oh,
05:02I beg your pardon
05:05It's a boutique. Trudy, I'm sorry. It's a boutique. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have spoke
05:11You don't get this with what you've got
05:14You don't get this in any other shops. Trudy, I'm sorry. I wish I was dead. I wish I was
05:19dead
05:20I mean, this is what I live for as a gay man being insulted by an upholsterer
05:29The last time I bought any furniture though
05:31I went in to buy a mattress and I walked into the shop and the woman said hi, I'm Faye
05:35And I went oh my god
05:39Good mattress a deep one. I hope you know what buying a mattress is complicated. Have you ever bought one?
05:45I bet you've not bought one
05:46You're a Hollywood star. You don't buy furniture
05:48You have to buy a mattress for lifetime
05:51Yeah, that's what they say always invest in a good bed or good shoes. Yeah, because if you're not in
05:55one you're in the other
05:58I love that
06:00And we went in and she was like and she said you gotta lie lie on it lie on the
06:04bed lie on it like they put down that plastic sheet as though
06:07It's gonna be so comfortable. I'm gonna immediately piss myself
06:11So I'm sliding all over the place and and then she gets on the bed next to me
06:16What? I know and then she said a cuddle
06:18Basically and then she said how do you sleep which sounds sort of accusatory?
06:23Something you shout at people in court is that how do you sleep?
06:26And I said well, I don't know. I'm usually asleep and she said well, are you supported? I said I've
06:30got some very good friends
06:35And then before I went she said and and do you have nightstands and I said well, that is absolutely
06:40none of your business
06:49Explain that joke to me because
06:52This is my audience
06:53It's a British
06:55The double meaning of that of course is a nightstand next to the bed the piece of furniture Trudy
06:59But is nightstand because I think it's a Britishism is the double on tonda which is French for fish of
07:05the day. I think
07:07It's a nightstand is that is that like a like a one-night again counter a one-night encounter. Yeah,
07:14we don't say that in America
07:15No, I've never heard of nightstand
07:17I thought you just meant an erection
07:19I don't I
07:21Do you know what? I thought of many things this way it was gonna go
07:24I didn't think we'd be here with three minutes
07:26No, not so quickly, not so quickly
07:28Not so fast
07:29But yeah
07:29Okay, you two, Vanessa and Jennifer, you are linked by hairdresser
07:35By hair
07:35By Sven
07:38There's a battle tonight because Sven does both of us
07:42You booked in first
07:43Well, babes
07:44Mm-hmm
07:45He's got a lot more work to do
07:48He started this morning
07:51He's very creative
07:53I haven't known Sven that long
07:54Oh, six years
07:55I got you
07:56Oh, babes, darling
07:56I miss those days talking about a hairdresser
08:00I miss those days
08:02Jeff, I would love to talk to you about your album. Look at this
08:12Isn't that beautiful?
08:13Isn't that beautiful?
08:15I do think so really well, Fontana, you know, are great and my other people, my friends helped me do
08:22that
08:22The graphics of it, I do like it. Night Blooms is the name of it
08:26It's a kind of a companion piece to our other, our other fourth album
08:29Yes
08:30Which was still blooming, you get the connection
08:32Oh
08:32Love it
08:33And, um, I love this album very much
08:36It's jazz, you know, we play jazz, we're called Jeff Goldblum and the Mildred Schnitzer Orchestra
08:40And just to name a few
08:42So many
08:43How many in the orchestra?
08:45Five
08:45Two, oh
08:46It was a joke, I made a joke
08:48But last year, the BAFTAs
08:50I had the honour of playing during the In Memoriam section
08:53Oh
08:54I played on the piano with their orchestra
08:57Um
08:57You've sung, you did
08:58You must remember, As Time Goes By
08:59You did, um, oh, I thought it was Ding Dong The Witch is Dead
09:04Don't even
09:06No, that's macabre
09:07Uh, no, it was, it was, uh, you know, it was, uh, As Time Goes By, that beautiful song
09:13And we liked it so much that on this next album I sing a little bit of it and I
09:17play some more
09:17Oh
09:17And there's an orchestra on this one
09:20Which brings me, by the way, you may, you brought, you triggered something else in me just now
09:24This is lovely
09:25Um, Ding Dong, which is dead, Cynthia Erivo, the great Cynthia Erivo
09:30Amazing
09:30And I, on this next album, with strings and a big band, do a newfangled version of, um, If I
09:37Only Had a Brain
09:38Oh
09:38Oh
09:39What a beautiful
09:40Now you'll follow me the hour, you've heard it with the flowers
09:43Yeah
09:45So, and many other surprises but, but thank you for bringing it up, I'm very crazy about this album
09:50We have a clip of you playing, not a song from this album, but I believe the last one, but
09:54it's fantastic
09:55Have a look
09:55OK
09:57MUSIC

09:59MUSIC
10:00MUSIC
10:25MUSIC
10:25MUSIC
10:56MUSIC
10:57MUSIC
10:58And I thought I was being clever and looked at the phone book and called cocktail lounges around Pittsburgh.
11:03I was 15 I think at that point and said hey, I hear you need a pianist. They'd said no.
11:08We don't know what you're talking about. Who's this?
11:09No, no, we don't like never mind, but a couple of people said we have a piano come over and
11:13play it
11:13I got a couple of gigs that way and my parents would drive me to the thing and I started
11:17to play
11:18It's almost the seed of what this has become. Yeah, like that, you know
11:26I have become slightly obsessed with your wife because she sometimes performs with you. We have a clip
11:34She's spectacular. Here we go. She's
11:41Isn't she amazing
11:43She's in the Olympics
11:46She Emily Goldblum for heaven's sakes whom I met at the gym 14 years ago
11:52She was doing something like that. I won't want to go and said what are you doing? Look at that.
11:56That's it? The world-famous
11:57I don't think anyone's listening to you
12:02Troubadour, you know the Troubadour. Yes
12:04We perform we did three
12:06She's amazing
12:08We did three sold-out shows there
12:10And Emily who was in the Olympics doing rhythmic gymnastics
12:14She was that year that she went to Sydney and did that she was the Pan-American champion
12:18She was the best of that in North South America. She's fantastic. She's still a world-class athlete as you
12:24can see
12:25She's doing that
12:27a month ago
12:28Yeah, that's a Troubadour
12:30Anyway, that's Emily
12:31It's just like looking at me at home
12:35How do you compete with that? You know when you go home and one of you says I'll put some
12:39toast in and does four cartwheels and puts it in with her
12:42Her toes
12:43She does every every move is like it's quite a picture. She's
12:48Astounding but yes, but you can also do something rather wonderful. Well, I do this
12:53It's not a little bit activity yet. I I can wiggle my ears, but one at a time watch
13:00This ready. Yeah
13:14Jeff you've started obviously in Oscar-nominated wicked the biggest musical film in
13:23This is my favorite thing. I don't know whether this is true
13:26But please say it is that occasionally you would look down the lens and speak directly to the editor and
13:33say I like that take
13:34Or is that true? Yes, I would do takes
13:37I was trying to do a good job and sometimes as was my want to do
13:41I think he's the phrase I would after it take I would go and he would go and cut okay
13:48Jeff says Myron Kirstein. That's that's I say that's that's a good one. Just so you know our editors called
13:54Steve
13:54He's happy with any notes you have
13:59Over there if you said something that you're particularly proud of you say Steve ad yes
14:04I think I've been lively tonight Steve and I say any any genuine moment that especially I like the spontaneous
14:12ones
14:12Yes, where there's a real connection which I've felt strongly with us. So I say so far anything is good
14:19for the show
14:20fine
14:20Thank you
14:29You're gonna start in Wolverhampton. Oh, I love the Hamptons
14:38You know this was all arranged, you know for us
14:42How many towns are you doing we're doing they're doing it in you know, we've been to Glastonbury and several
14:50You know in the last several years and Ronnie Scott's we played all over the place would you like to
14:54know more about Wolverhampton?
14:56Maybe the eateries you should go to if there's a statue a small aquarium. I believe Corey is here. Hello.
15:03Hi, Corey. Hello
15:04You you've been to Wolverhampton. I am from Wolverhampton. Okay, so Jeff's there for a couple of days. Let's give
15:10him a full schedule
15:11I'd like it laminated. Where should he go?
15:14Jeff what you should do is you should get off the train in Wolverhampton
15:18immediately get back on and leave
15:20A couple of hours, okay, is there somewhere delicious? No, it's great. Wolverhampton is absolutely great. We have we have
15:36a Nando's
15:37A what? A Nando's? A chicken restaurant? A chicken place. But being on tour there's always something to do. Well,
15:43yes
15:44No, I love going around Britain on tour. Always a little museum. There's a pencil museum
15:50Yes, yes
15:51I'm very interested in pencils. What do you mean? I love pencils. There's a lot of shop mannequins dressed up
15:58What's your pencil of choice number? What is it? I used to I used to once I go to my
16:03criminal period when I was
16:05Eight or nine fine. I stole other kids pencil. We had those desks that went like that
16:11Yes, you know when everybody was going out in a line
16:13I'd be the last one and I'd wait behind
16:15I'd open up desks and I'd steal their pencils. I hoarded and collected pencils until one day somebody went
16:22Geoffrey has all our pencils and then it was very embarrassing and I'm cured. I'm a very honest
16:28Honest no stealing because the way your face lit up at the sound of the pencil music. I hope there
16:34is a pencil museum now
16:36Do you like a classic HB? Do you like ones that you can? No, I don't like a mechanical pencil
16:42I'm very particular with my ballpoint pen. Can I throw this into the mix?
16:48Because this is gonna blow your mind. There is a woman here in this room who designs pencils
16:56No way! Correct! No way! I'm getting goosebumps, I'm telling you
17:00You're getting goosebumps? I'm going
17:02I'm going
17:02I'm going
17:04I'm going

17:17Do you because we don't want to upset him because he's our very special guest do you do the pencils?
17:25We have one
17:25Yes
17:26Well, I'm open-minded but I don't like them
17:30What's the best thing if that's not too much pressure that you have ever designed?
17:34So our best pencil is the drawing pencil which has the creamiest
17:41Oh, it's creamy
17:42It's the creamiest pencil and has the widest core
17:46Does that mean the lead that goes through it?
17:49Yes
17:50Is there a pencil museum? Because did I make it up?
17:52There is, it's in the Lake District
17:54Lake District? Are you going to the Lake District?

19:24Were you saying my film? I'm in the film?
19:27No, it's your film
19:28OK
19:29Let's have a clip
19:30It's just like you said
19:31It's enchanted and wonderful
19:33Dad and I just felt like a place like this
19:35Will bring us all back together again
19:38Grandma
19:38I will get them back to the city if it is the last thing I do
19:41Sorry guys
19:43Better start packing
19:46You wish to cross the lands
19:48To locate a spell
19:50To save your house from your evil grandma
19:54We know all of this
19:56We know all of this
19:56You know all that because we just told you it
19:58All right, no need to get shirty
20:00Thank you
20:22Thank you
20:25Thank you
20:30Thank you
20:49I'm just agreeing because it's Jennifer
20:54Whatever she said
20:56But I love the accent
20:58I love everything about Frida
20:59How did she
21:00How was she created?
21:02Because I thought it was a small part
21:03I wouldn't have to do very much
21:04And but they said
21:05Will you come in for rehearsal?
21:06And I went
21:07Yeah, of course
21:07And it was with Andrew Garfield
21:09And Claire Foy
21:10And the children
21:11And I thought
21:12Oh, this is great
21:14It's big time, you know
21:15Because you've sort of been grappled into this big movie
21:19And I thought I'd better try hard
21:22But I had no idea what was going to come out of my mouth
21:24When I first opened my mouth
21:26And I thought, you know
21:27I might go a little bit Danish
21:28Because I can make
21:31Because I can make the Danish noises
21:34You know
21:36It's almost fluent
21:38Yes
21:38Yeah, so I put a little inflection of Danish
21:45Into when I read the part
21:47And when we finished they went
21:49We love the German
21:50And I went
21:52No
21:53I said
21:53It was sort of more
21:55No, German's good
21:56German's good
21:56I thought, damn
21:57Yeah
21:57I had to do the whole
21:58I had to learn a German accent then
22:00And do the whole thing in German
22:02But it gave me the character
22:03Yes
22:04It was lovely
22:04So lovely
22:05You guys are so good at accents
22:07The preparedness that you've been given in schools is amazing
22:12And you have to show up for
22:14You say what?
22:15I'm not training
22:16You're not training
22:18You're not training
22:18It's extraordinary
22:19I mean, they can throw on an American accent immediately
22:21And like refine it
22:23So it's Midwestern
22:24There's a New York
22:25What period time period is
22:27But also do all these other ones
22:28It's really
22:29I'm very impressed
22:30I admire that
22:30Terrifically
22:31I admire it
22:32Terrifically
22:32You're a great artist
22:33I'm a very good artist
22:35You are
22:36Can you do a London accent?
22:38Not really
22:39Not really
22:40Not so much
22:41Wow
22:41I want to talk more about the film
22:47Because the location is so beautiful
22:49Tell me you were somewhere lovely
22:52We were in a very lovely part of the countryside
22:54Yeah
22:54And near a wood
22:57Near a wood
22:58Because it is called the Magic Faraway Tree
23:00It is about a tree that's magic and very far away
23:03You don't know where it was
23:04I don't know where it was
23:06I think it was in a studio
23:07But there we are
23:09Never mind
23:10Very lovely
23:13There is somebody here
23:14Because I believe you also have a place in the countryside
23:17Yes
23:17There is somebody who lives, I think, in your neck of the woods
23:20Oh gosh
23:20Is that scary?
23:22Slightly
23:24Go on
23:24Go on
23:25They do something rather magical
23:26In my hood
23:27I believe it is in your hood
23:30OK
23:30Anna, hello
23:31What have you done this week?
23:33So my neighbours and I have been helping toads cross the road
23:36To prevent them getting squashed by the cars as they're migrating to their pond
23:39Wow
23:39To breed
23:40And we've had, I think we've helped about a thousand toads in the last few weeks
23:44Wow
23:44A thousand toads
23:46A thousand toads
23:47That saved a thousand toads
23:49Wow

23:56Ooh
23:57Like signs
23:58No signposts
23:59No signposts
24:00So I have my head torch and my gloves and a bucket
24:03And we pick them up off the road
24:05We put them in the bucket and we help them to get to the gate near the pond
24:09Oh
24:10So they're not going to be on the road
24:11Have you thought about building, I don't know, a tunnel?
24:15Do they say, I know this is a weird question but I've committed to it, do they say thank you?
24:21Oh
24:22No, but they have the most beautiful little chirping sound
24:24Oh
24:25You can hear them when it's a really quiet evening
24:27You can hear them kind of chirping, chirping, chirping in the pond and they're really amazing
24:31They're very sweet
24:32Very, very good
24:34Hey
24:39You know the end of that P.T. Anderson movie who did this year's One Bad Left Another
24:43Oh
24:44Yeah, I know
24:45Yeah
24:46Magnolia
24:47Where all the toads or frogs, you know, come and fall from the sky
24:51Spoiler alert Jeff! Spoiler alert!
24:53That happens right at the end
24:54Steve, Steve, if you feel cut that into
24:57Cut that into this segment
24:59I love it!
25:03If you could save one animal
25:06Oh
25:06What would it have been?
25:07I would save a horse
25:08Would you?
25:09Yes
25:09Well, I'd need the hair for my extensions
25:11I'd have to be chopping off
25:14Yes, I think for the hair
25:15Yeah, because, you know, for the hooves
25:17Yeah
25:17For the mental health
25:23What would you say, Tom?
25:25You know what? None of them
25:26I think
25:28You know, people say, oh, it's so relaxing to go and spend time in nature
25:31But you look closely, all they're doing is eating each other
25:36It's disgusting
25:36You watch those David Attenborough films
25:39Horrifying
25:40Absolutely
25:40People love it, don't they?
25:41Put it on while they're having their tea
25:42A lion ripping a gazelle to shreds
25:47You know, they fall asleep while they're watching a dolphin drown a whale
25:53Horrible
25:53Why would you save any of them?
25:55I think the sooner we get rid of them, the better
26:01I just think, you know
26:03Yeah, yeah
26:04It's a different view
26:06That's, and I think that's what this show is about
26:08Correct
26:10It's very, it's like question time, but for drunk celebrities
26:16Okay, Jennifer, when can we see The Magic Faraway Tree?
26:20I think it's out on March the 27th
26:23Correct
26:23Yes
26:23We can't wait, we'll all go
26:24A blue pattern
26:26A blue pattern
26:30Vanessa, I have to talk to you about The Devil Wears Prada
26:34I went on Friday, every seat is full and they are screaming
26:38Wow
26:38And when you come up, the most beautiful thing, people are like
26:42I was sitting next to somebody who was like in tears, screaming, standing up
26:47It's a thing, it's like a rock concert
26:49Yeah
26:49Describe the show, just for anyone who doesn't know
26:52Well, there's a young girl named Andy Sachs, who is a journalist, based on a true story
26:57And she lives in New York, she applies for a job at Runway Magazine, which is a very famous fashion
27:05magazine, aka Vogue
27:07And she has no idea who Miranda Priestly is, nor her reputation
27:11And she gets the job as the assistant, and now they're doing a sequel to the movie
27:16I know
27:17So who knows what's going to happen this time
27:19Wow
27:19There's much excitement
27:21Let's have a clip of The Devil Wears Prada starring
27:25Oh my god
27:26What if I don't want this life?
27:28Everybody wants to be us
27:30The Devil Wears Prada
27:36The Devil Wears Prada
27:40The Devil Wears Prada
27:47The Devil Wears Prada
27:47That's all
27:49That's all
27:50Wow, wow, wow
27:53What a fun role to play
27:54You must love it
27:56It's fun, I can show up and be in a bad mood and not care because I can just be
28:01miserable the whole time
28:02Yeah
28:02And it doesn't matter, it just makes the role better
28:04But you know, I have to say, it's, I love this country and I got a chance to meet the
28:11king
28:11Like, you know, I've done things not just as a tourist and not just as a working actor
28:17But these extraordinary experiences, you know, I did the Royal Variety Show
28:21I mean, it's, it's been, it's been heaven
28:23How much fun was it working with Elton?
28:26Oh my god
28:27I mean, not only is he a legend and, you know, growing up listening to his music and going to
28:32his house in Windsor
28:33Again, another opportunity that, you know, a normal tourist would never get
28:38You know, tons of fresh... Oh, I don't know
28:43You are living the life
28:45He is so honest, that's what I love about him, he's so frank
28:49And the first time I met him, we were doing the workshop in January 2024
28:54And he had just had his first knee surgery
28:57And I walked into the rehearsal room and his sweats were down by his ankles
29:02And he was showing everybody his scar, but all I saw was his bum
29:05I was like, yeah, okay, good
29:06Yeah, we're gonna be friends
29:09What about the dressing rooms?
29:10The difference between Broadway, if you like, and the West End
29:13On Broadway, you can, uh, choose your...
29:16Well, you can choose your paint colour and, and...
29:18Shut up
29:18Oh, stop
29:19Yeah, yeah, yeah
29:20Dark teal
29:23Really?
29:24You're a bit of dark teal
29:25Yes
29:26Is that coffee?
29:28Mocha?
29:29I don't like colours being called after drinks
29:31But it's Trudy
29:35Trudy!
29:36Do we get Trudy of Trudy?
29:39I'm quite frightened of Trudy now
29:41It's not a good, nice cone
29:42Well, Cognac's beautiful to drink, obviously
29:44But, um, yeah, we just had an old-fashioned before we came on
29:48Oh!
29:49Good God!
29:51Good God!
29:51Good God!
29:52Um, this is what I love, Vanessa, I'm just sharing this with the group
29:56You have something rather special on your rider
29:58And it is a dog
30:01Now, I agree
30:02When you look at Vanessa
30:03Beautiful
30:04Like, sort of, absolutely gorgeous
30:07That bone structure
30:07You think small
30:08A little
30:09Like a powder puff
30:11Of a dog
30:11On a top of cushion
30:13Yeah?
30:14Ladies and gentlemen
30:15Meet Roscoe
30:16Yeah!
30:17Oh, wow!
30:18Wow!
30:19There he is
30:21Roscoe
30:21Is that a great day?
30:22Yeah
30:22Beautiful
30:23So beautiful
30:25And he comes to
30:27Comes every show
30:28Yeah
30:29He's got his giant bed next to my
30:31Makeup table
30:32Look at him!
30:33He's amazing
30:34Yeah
30:34He's enormous
30:35He's a great Dane?
30:36He's a great Dane
30:36I had a great Dane
30:37What?
30:38Can't remember his name
30:39But, uh
30:42The name
30:43It's a joke
30:43It's a proper joke
30:45What's his name?
30:46Roscoe
30:47Like Roscoe Chicken and Waffles
30:48I love Roscoe Chicken and Waffles
30:49Roscoe Chicken and Waffles
30:50Roscoe Lee Brown
30:51You didn't know Roscoe Lee Brown, did you?
30:53I know who he was but it wasn't
30:55What's going on?
30:56I don't know
30:56I saw Roscoe Lee Brown
30:57I saw Roscoe Lee Brown
30:57I don't know
30:58I saw Roscoe Lee Brown
30:59I want my ham
31:00I want my ham
31:02Two trains running
31:03I saw Roscoe Lee Brown
31:04Anyway
31:05It does feel sometimes like I'm in a nursing home
31:07It does feel sometimes like I'm in a nursing home
31:13I'm joking
31:14That was the best thing in league ever
31:16There was a few moments when there was this talk of this Roscoe fella that nobody knew except you guys
31:23knew him very well
31:24Chicken and Waffles and the dog
31:26And the bit of the cognac
31:28And the bit of the cognac
31:30I am older than I realise
31:34So to be clear
31:35You have Roscoe
31:37You have Woody
31:37You love your dog
31:38We have Woody
31:39So we have three dogs
31:40You have a dog?
31:41Of course I have a dog
31:42I breastfeed him
31:43And you have a dog
31:44I?
31:44No
31:45No
31:45No
31:47I do
31:48Tom
31:48You, I believe, you're on the fence regarding a dog
31:51I would love a dog
31:52But I worry about having a dog because I'm away a lot
31:54And they're obviously a big responsibility but I would like a dog
31:58Shall we tip the scales?
32:00Yeah, I'd like that
32:01Are you ready to meet a dog?
32:02Oh my God
32:04Please welcome Percy
32:06Oh my God
32:12Oh my God
32:14Please welcome Percy
32:14Oh my God
32:16Oh my God
32:16Oh my God
32:16This is Heather who owns Percy
32:18Look how can you not
32:20Oh my God
32:21I will
32:22I will
32:22What do you think?
32:23I love him
32:24I gave him a biscuit
32:25So he's happy
32:27Look
32:28Percy loves you
32:29Hang on
32:29I feel like this isn't fair
32:30You've got treats for him
32:31He's never
32:32Oh
32:34Percy
32:34Would you like a little treat?
32:36Lively
32:36Come on then
32:37Come on
32:38Sit on
32:39This is Tom
32:39No never
32:40He's more interested in you
32:41This is the story of my life
32:42I mean he's just got to stand the dog
32:43Come on
32:47Look
32:47He's taken to you
32:48Look at that
32:51He's taken to you
32:52You wanna go and live with me?
32:54You wanna come and live with me?
32:55You can have a dog like that
32:56I don't know whether you can take this
32:59Stop
32:59He's your dog
33:00He's your dog
33:01He needs to leave
33:02Thank you so much
33:03Thank you Percy
33:04Thank you
33:07Hi Percy
33:08You got attached to it already
33:10What do you think?
33:11I don't think he actually like me that much
33:13Don't take it on lightly
33:14Unless you can commit to a lifelong
33:17Absolutely
33:18Responsibility
33:18You're right
33:18And I spend a lot of money on furniture
33:20So will they
33:21I don't want them weeing up against it
33:23Thank you so much
33:25So Vanessa
33:26Devil Wears Prada is on
33:27Until when and where please
33:30We are at the Dominion Theatre
33:32I am gonna be there till October 17th
33:35And the show will run definitely until next year
33:38OK
33:38Thank you
33:40Thank you
33:46I commit right now to attend every show until you're out of it
33:49I'm gonna be at every show
33:51When you're not in Wolverhampton
33:52Having a chicken wrap
33:53No chicken wrap
33:55Tom
33:56You are going to musical theatre
33:57You're about to star in Titanic
33:59Yes
33:59Indeed
34:00And I'm very
34:02There we go
34:03About to set sail
34:05It is
34:06Tell us all about it
34:08It is the most extraordinary show
34:11I saw it when it first opened over here
34:12It started in America
34:14It's like the most ridiculous retelling of the film Titanic
34:18And it's as though Celine Dion was actually on board the ship of dreams
34:22And she got drunk
34:24And this is how she remembers the story of Titanic
34:26And it's told through her songs
34:28So Celine Dion is the narrator in the show
34:32So that's kind of bonkers enough as it is
34:34And then added on to that
34:36Is you've got people like me who play
34:38You know Rose the Kate Winslet character
34:41Her mother is Ruth and that's made by me
34:43So
34:45And not really in period dress at all
34:47Just I have an Alice band on with some birds attached to it
34:49Don't ask why just enjoy it
34:51And it's just such bonkers fun
34:53We're all coming
34:54Well I think you would all love it
34:56I think there's something about it that's just kind of out of this world
34:58It's just joy
34:59Just joy for a couple of hours
35:01Can't wait
35:01Where's it on?
35:02It's on at the Criterion Theatre
35:05And I'm in it until the 12th of April
35:07But it's booking through until until June
35:09We can't wait to sit
35:10Thank you
35:11Thank you one person
35:14He is coming
35:17Tom is it true that your theatre is haunted?
35:20Well they say there's a man in the circle who sometimes walks across
35:24And I thought I saw him but it turned out it was just the lighting man
35:29I think there are there are stories about him there but the more you look for him
35:32I think the less he's going to appear right
35:34It's like it's like a husband isn't it?
35:38Yeah there's supposed to be one in the Dominion
35:40Her name is Eleanor
35:41She was like 10 years old and there used to be some giant beer
35:46That or some kind of brewery in the in the bottom and there was an explosion
35:50And beer apparently flooded that whole Tottenham Court area
35:54No
35:55And this was a young girl that died in this flood of beer
35:58And she is a 10 year old daughter
36:03Drunk
36:04Drunk
36:04Drunk
36:04Stumbling around
36:09The Drury Lane theatre there used to be just the bottom half of a man sitting in a seat sometimes
36:15No
36:16Yes
36:16Would you like to chat to somebody who converses with ghosts?
36:20Yes
36:21Yes
36:22Maxine
36:23Hello
36:24Hello
36:24What is your advice to Tom?
36:27He's going to be performing, singing, he looks up to the circle
36:32Should he bow?
36:33What happens when you see?
36:34When you see them
36:35I think if you want to see this ghost you can ask
36:40I mean they will reveal themselves to you
36:43Spirits
36:44When you say reveal themselves
36:45As in show
36:50Their spirit body
36:51Oh my goodness
36:53Should I be on my own when I ask?
36:55Or
36:55Well, I don't think that matters really
36:57Doesn't the ghost of
36:58It doesn't matter
36:59I just think the cleaner is sometimes there, so
37:03How brave are you feeling?
37:04Are you happy to see them if they appear in front of you?
37:07Well, I suppose how do you know if they're if they're a malevolent spirit?
37:10Or a happy spirit?
37:11Well, you know, you're a good chap, aren't you?
37:13I mean, generally
37:13It would be really bitchy about your performance
37:15Yeah, like
37:15Oh, bitchy
37:18If you're the kind of person that's not got a good energy yourself
37:22You know, you're you're kind of an evil person
37:25You're acting in
37:26No, he's very charming
37:27No, I know
37:28I know
37:28But if you were
37:29You can then attract beings that aren't so nice
37:33Well, it seems like a lot of pressure now
37:35Yeah
37:36Will you let us know, please?
37:39Well, I will
37:39But not if it's a bad spirit
37:41It would reflect terribly badly on me
37:43It would be like a parent a parent's evening
37:45Like
37:46I did my best
37:49When was the last time you spoke to a spirit?
37:52Um
37:53Yesterday
37:53I did a reading for somebody and I see them and they talk to me
37:58Wow
37:58Is there anyone here?
38:00I'm not working right now
38:01Well, I think that's the misconception
38:02Oh, I like the way you just clock on and clock on
38:05I know
38:06What do you think?
38:07Thank you
38:10Thank you
38:11Thank you
38:14Thank you
38:24Let's hear it for Maxine
38:25Let's hear it for Maxine
38:26Fantastic
38:27Correct
38:28Correct
38:29Correct
38:30Correct
38:30Until I was just sitting here a moment ago
38:33When you were talking to the spirit lady
38:34Tom
38:35Oh my goodness
38:36And I was possessed by the spirit of John Travolta
38:40Since he shaved his head
38:43Tom, you have also written a very brilliant book
38:46Oh
38:46It's a novel
38:48Your first novel
38:49My first novel
38:49Yeah
38:50Common decency
38:51Tell us all about it
38:53Well, I've written two non-fiction books about myself
38:55And this is the first time I've created a world
38:58And some characters in to inhabit it
39:00And I wanted to write about suburbia
39:02Because I think it's sort of boring place that everybody ignores
39:05But actually I've realised that's where all drama happens
39:09But it's about the sort of secrets and lies that exist in our kind of
39:12Otherwise quite mundane life
39:14So I wanted to
39:15I just I like the idea of kind of
39:16Well, I live in suburbia now
39:18I live in Bromley
39:19Which is kind of archetypally suburban
39:20And I like and I'm on a WhatsApp group
39:22And I've come to love all those trappings of
39:24You know people on
39:25Do you have a WhatsApp group?
39:26You know any with your neighbours?
39:27Oh where they all like
39:28You know it's supposed to be to help your neighbours
39:30Oh
39:30But it's just you know a load of you know idiots
39:32Shouting nonsense into the wind
39:35And how often do you ever post?
39:37No I just like to watch it
39:38The only time I like it
39:39Is when people say they're putting out furniture on their driveway
39:41Something which I like to call street tapas
39:46I love that
39:48I like
39:49You know
39:51But I like the sort of community aspect of it
39:54I've always enjoyed that kind of thing of it all
39:57I'm loving your face Jennifer
39:58Oh you love to run over those toads
40:03You've put your foot down
40:05Oh
40:07Do you do WhatsApp groups?
40:09I
40:09I
40:10WhatsApp groups are the bane of my life
40:13Really?
40:14I can't bear them
40:14Can you like
40:15Do you like a WhatsApp group?
40:16I like one of the family
40:17I like this one
40:18Just my family is enough
40:20Yes
40:20But then when they start having private conversations
40:22Within the WhatsApp group
40:24Disgusting
40:25You then get a ping
40:26And it's just a fucking emoji
40:28I just can't bear them
40:30Yeah
40:31Unless it's family
40:32Family is fine
40:34And if it's
40:35If you've got one thing
40:36Like it's a holiday
40:37Or is it
40:37And then it's got its purpose
40:39But don't mince about within it
40:41Fine
40:42Keep it strict
40:43Fine
40:44I like it
40:47There's a character in your book
40:49That I love
40:51Oh
40:51Called Miranda
40:52Oh yes
40:53Well I've tried to write about different generations as well
40:56Because again I like the way that people mix
40:58In the best parts of suburbia
41:01And Miranda is somebody whose true past isn't really known
41:05However she is somebody who
41:07Even though she's in her 80s wants to experience all of life
41:10She's had a bucket list
41:11And now she has a different sort of list
41:13You can say it
41:14Her fuck it list
41:14And that includes things like taking acid
41:17Because I just sort of think
41:19If I make it to an old age
41:22Rather than sort of going out with a whimper
41:24Wouldn't it be great to experience acid?
41:28Or to try all those things you never thought you could try before?
41:31Why not?
41:32Dawn and I, my friend Dawn French and I
41:34Once thought we'd be really daring
41:36And we got an ecstasy tablet
41:38Oh goodness me
41:39And we thought we could take
41:40Well I think it was something with a rabbit on it
41:43Yeah
41:43It was about that big
41:44And we thought
41:46One day
41:47I said well be alone
41:48And then it became such a matter of planning
41:50As to when we could take half
41:54An ecstasy tablet
41:55And so we kept it
41:57And kept it on Dawn's mantelpiece like that
42:00And then one day
42:01This is about six months later
42:02And we've gone
42:03OK
42:03We're ready
42:04We had water
42:05We had
42:06We didn't know what to expect at all
42:09The pill had gone
42:10No
42:13Your dog was looking lively that day
42:17And it was quite a relief
42:18Yeah
42:18You were like thank goodness
42:19Thank God we don't do that anymore
42:20Yeah
42:21No drugs for us
42:22The dog was out in the garden jumping up and down
42:26Having sex with the dragon
42:29This brilliant book is out when please
42:31It's out on the 21st of May
42:33And you can pre-order it right now
42:34Am I allowed to give this to Jack?
42:36I won't keep it
42:37I'm not keeping it
42:38I like the puppy dog
42:39Really
42:39Here tell me when to stop
42:40Uh
42:42There
42:43Left or right
42:44Left
42:45Tell me when to stop
42:47Now
42:48We all need to discuss the planning application of course
42:53Interrupted Donald
42:53I assume that's what this is all about
42:55We are going to need to take action if the rumours are true
42:58About changing the area
43:00I love it
43:01There you go
43:04There are definitely moments of exposition
43:05You have to realise
43:06You have to cover it
43:08Right
43:09That is it
43:10I just want to check
43:12Do you feel like you've covered everything?
43:14Is there anything you want to sell a bit harder?
43:18I don't want to sell anything more
43:19But I have not covered even the tip of the iceberg
43:23No
43:24Geoff, I've got to go night night
43:26I never go
43:27I say that to a guest
43:28Not tonight
