Short filmTranscript
00:11Hello there and welcome to The One Show live on BBC One and I play it with Vernon Kaye.
00:16And of course Alex Jones. Tonight we're joined by some comedy favourites in the shape of Chris
00:20McCausland and Rabsey Nesbitt himself, Gregor Fisher. Plus Matt's here with Watchdog and he's
00:25putting two big companies under the spotlight. Yes, we've heard from viewers who thought
00:30they'd bought second-hand vans on eBay from what appeared to be legitimate sellers, only to realise
00:36they'd been scammed out of thousands of pounds when they tried to pick up those vehicles. Plus
00:41Amazon Kindles. If you're one of the two million users of older Kindle devices that will no longer
00:47be supported, I've got some important advice that you will not want to miss. Oh, we'll catch up with
00:52you very shortly, Matt. Also tonight, as we mentioned, we'll be joined by comedian and
00:57Strictly winner Chris McCausland, who is swapping Sander for the saloon as he steps into the
01:02Wild West for a murder mystery. He'll be telling us how his experience on the comedy circuit has
01:06prepared him for this cowboy-themed whodunit. Let's think Miss Marple meets John Wayne.
01:12Got it in one. And sticking with comedy, Rabsey Nesbitt and Love Actually star Gregor Fisher is
01:17back on our screens with the brilliant BBC series Only Child. He'll be telling us about reuniting
01:22with his TV son, Greg McHugh, for more chaos in a show that's been described as gentle,
01:27heartfelt, laugh out loud, but most importantly of all, funny. It's brilliant, isn't it?
01:32It's funny. And it's funny. And talking of fathers and sons, later on we'll see how Mike
01:38Dilgenis and Zachary are doing their bit for local wildlife by helping to raise a rare species
01:43of grasshopper in their family home. It's lovely, isn't it? Yeah, very good indeed. All that to look forward to,
01:49of course.
01:49But first, we're starting with Matt and eBay. Yes. Buying a vehicle can be really expensive and there are so
01:56many things to consider. So when you turn to a reliable selling platform like eBay, you don't expect to be
02:03scammed. But that's exactly what's been happening to some customers. If you're looking to buy a new set
02:11of wheels, you might be tempted to look online with hundreds of thousands of vehicles at your
02:16fingertips. And some buyers have turned to eBay thinking they'd be protected. After all, the company
02:23does state that it has a zero tolerance to fraud. However, we've heard from viewers who've been left
02:29without the vehicles they paid for, conned out of thousands of pounds. And when they reported it to
02:35eBay, the listings stayed up. Gareth is from Penryn Bay. He chose eBay to find a new van. It was
02:43a silver
02:44Mercedes. Looked good. It's £5,000. And I spoke to the guy. He was very, very plausible. The seller
02:51claimed to work for AT Flooring in Kent. He told Gareth that other people were interested in the van
02:57and instructed him to bank transfer £2,500 to secure it. Before doing so, Gareth did some
03:04research. I went on to the company's house address he asked me to go to Married Up. It matched the
03:09address on eBay. I thought I was pretty safe on this one. Deposits sent later that week, Gareth
03:16travelled on his motorbike almost 300 miles to collect his van from the flooring company. But he was in for
03:23a
03:24shock when he arrived. It was raining. It was miserable. It was foggy. It was a bad day by all
03:31accounts. And I said, well, I've come to buy the van. And they said, well, we're not selling the van.
03:35And then you just realise I've just been done. What's going through your mind? I've never been
03:40in that position before. And it's a horrible feeling. Two and a half grand is painful to lose.
03:47eBay say never pay outside of our payment system. It was a classified ad on eBay. So there is no
03:53means by which you can pay through the eBay channels. eBay allows this for items like
03:59vehicles. But it means that people like Gareth aren't covered by its money back guarantee if
04:04things go wrong. Wanting to stop others from being scammed, he immediately reported the listing to
04:10eBay. But he was told it hadn't broken its rules. And eBay refused to remove it. What did you feel
04:17when you saw eBay's response? Frustrated and let down as well. Gareth managed to get most of his money
04:24back from his bank, but is disappointed that eBay didn't do more. Adam works for AT Flooring,
04:31the company in Kent that Gareth thought he was buying the van from. The first he knew of the listing
04:36was after Gareth came to collect the van. Were you selling a van at the time?
04:40We've only got three vans. None of them was for sale. No, we haven't ever sold a van. Adam also
04:46reported the listing to eBay. But again, the company refused to remove it. They didn't feel the
04:52post violated their terms, which I thought was crazy, really. The seller is not who they're saying
04:58they are. And it was just sitting there for other people to potentially get scammed. Whoever was behind
05:05the listing eventually decided to take it down. But over a month later, we spotted the same van
05:12that Gareth had thought he'd bought being listed on eBay, this time under a different company name.
05:18Now, Milhouse Carpets in Cornwall found itself at the centre of the scam. Rob Davies is the company
05:25director. There was a Mercedes van and a Volkswagen van, both listed with the business name. And just to be
05:33clear, you weren't selling vans at the time. No, no, we don't sell vans. We sell flooring.
05:38But when Rob reported the listing, eBay refused to remove it, saying it didn't violate its policy.
05:44The flooring company even had someone turn up to collect the van.
05:49One chap got on a train from the Midlands, got to Penzance train station, and he had paid in full.
05:55There's not much you can say to somebody in that situation to make them feel better.
05:58No, he's probably feeling physically sick. Interestingly, when Rob, Gareth and Adam reported
06:04the listings, eBay said that the decision not to remove them was made using AI, which doesn't
06:10appear to have been particularly effective in these cases. We wrote to eBay, outlining our
06:16allegations, and asked why the listings reported by Gareth, Adam and Rob weren't immediately removed.
06:23The company declined to comment. eBay, there will always be scammers, but when they strike,
06:29we need you to step in and act as quickly as possible to protect your customers and innocent
06:36business owners.
06:39Has eBay started this out, Mark?
06:40No, it hasn't. Just today, look, we've seen this listing for the van come up again,
06:45this time posing as another legitimate company, Falmouth Flooring, which has told us it's definitely
06:51not selling a van. So please, everybody, be aware. And remember, if you think you've been
06:56scammed and you've paid through the site, then report it to eBay. If, like Gareth, you
07:01paid outside of the platform, contact eBay and your bank or credit card provider straight
07:07away.
07:08Well, you've got a story involving another big company now.
07:11Yeah, I have. The summer's approaching. Loads of people are going to be thinking, which
07:14new book can I enjoy? But that's going to be a problem. If your Amazon Kindle is from 2012,
07:21or earlier, we've heard from viewers who have received this email from Amazon telling them
07:26it will be discontinuing support for its older Kindles. And that essentially means they won't
07:32be able to download any new books on them or access things like security updates or tech
07:37support. Those affected have been offered 20% off new Kindles, along with a £15 e-book
07:44credit, which they have one month to use. Now, Alice from Cheshire doesn't want to buy a new
07:50device, does she, Alex?
07:52She does not. Alice got her Kindle in 2011 and has been happily using it for the past
07:5715 years. Alice says she's frustrated that despite still being able to access her whole
08:02library, she won't be able to buy any new books and feel she's left with no choice but
08:07to get rid of the device.
08:08Yes. Let's hear what Alice herself has to say. When I first read the email, I was really
08:14surprised because my Kindle works perfectly. It's not like a piece of tech where you're
08:19like, oh, the battery is dying or my screen isn't working or something like that. It works
08:24perfectly. So there's no reason for me to stop using it.
08:29And you know what? Liz from Cumbria thought hers was for life too. Isn't that right, then?
08:33Yeah, you're right, Matt. Liz's husband, Paul, bought a Kindle in 2012 and loved it so much.
08:38You've got one for Liz. You've got one for Liz. They both still use them today. Liz says
08:43she was devastated about her Kindle and she won't be buying a new one. Why is this happening,
08:47Matt?
08:48Amazon told us that these models have been supported for at least 14 years, but technology
08:53has come a long way in that time. It said it strives to provide security updates for its
08:57devices for as long as possible and that accounts and libraries will remain fully accessible on
09:03older devices. However, they may stop receiving those updates due to hardware or software constraints
09:10or when suppliers no longer support certain components.
09:14Are there any rules, Matt, concerning the situation with tech and upgrades and all that kind of stuff?
09:19It's a timely question because there are now. Since 2024, by law, manufacturers must state
09:25the minimum length of a time for which a device will receive security updates. Amazon has said
09:31it's willing to commit to a minimum of four years for new Kindles. And that's really important
09:37to know if you are considering buying a new one.
09:40But the question is, what's going to happen to all the old Kindles? Because it's not great
09:44for the planet, really, is it?
09:46It's a really good point. And it's one that Alice and Liz have asked as well. Two million devices
09:50are affected. And that potentially is going to generate over 620 tonnes of e-waste.
09:56That initial email that you saw to customers didn't explain what to do with your old Kindle.
10:03Amazon has now told us it has a recycling programme. Material Focus is one of the organisations
10:08involved. And you can find its sites by using its recycling locator tool. We've put a link on our
10:15website as well. As always, if you've spotted anything, tech or otherwise, that doesn't read,
10:20write or spells trouble, email watchdog at bbc.co.uk or tag us at BBC Watchdog on socials.
10:28Fantastic work. Thank you very much, Matt.
10:32OK, still to come, Gregor Fisher will be telling us about reuniting with his only child co-star
10:3716 years after they first met filming Rab C. Nesbitt. And in just a moment, Chris McCausland
10:41will be revealing all about stepping out of his comfort zone and into the wild, wild west.
10:47But first, here's a reminder of why Chris is one of the country's best-loved stand-ups.
10:52You go back in time to the mid-80s and you tell somebody that you are from the future and
10:56you can prove it and their mind will be blown. They'll be like, oh my God, that's amazing.
11:01You're from the future? Tell me everything. I want to know everything. What's it like
11:0535 years from now in the future? Is there anything that you have to do in the future
11:09that we don't have to do now? Uh, yeah, yeah, you have to prove you're not a robot.
11:17You have to what? That's incredible. How do you prove you're not a robot in the future?
11:22Do you have to peel back the skin to prove that you're not mechanical underneath?
11:26Oh, no, you just have to look at some photographs.
11:29Well, the man's traffic lights, that sort of thing.
11:33Oh, and here he is now, his comedian Chris McCollsland and actor Gregor Fisher.
11:38APPLAUSE
11:41Fellas, welcome to the sofa. Thank you. It really is a joy to have you with us.
11:45Thank you. Chris, first of all, you're actually a huge fan of Venice.
11:48I can't believe I sat on the couch with him, you know, last time I was here, it was
11:53Rabsy this bit.
11:56LAUGHTER
11:56Mini Driver. Oh, yeah.
11:58You're being excited about that? I'd be excited about Mini Driver.
12:01I couldn't be able to say to that.
12:02Rapsy Nesbitt.
12:04Are you excited about Mini Driver?
12:06Do you know what? Oh, very bad, she was lovely as well.
12:08So you've got, you know, you've got a lot to live up to, Rab.
12:11Oh, right, well, I'll try, I'll try.
12:13Mini Driver was lovely, to be fair, wasn't she?
12:16But we are delighted to have you with us, Gregor.
12:19And now we're going to talk about Only Child very shortly.
12:22But first, Chris, we saw you there live at the Apollo in that clip.
12:26But you've got a big gig coming up at the London Palladium really soon.
12:30How are you feeling about that one then?
12:32Yeah, good. It's the end of the tour. The tour's been a long tour,
12:34so it's just kind of approaching the end now.
12:36And the Palladium have really let their standards kind of lower in the recent years.
12:41So, you know, you get people like myself playing there now.
12:44And so I'm looking forward to it.
12:46Yeah, to get to play these venues, these, you know,
12:49there's two types of venues that I really love playing.
12:53And they're the really traditional kind of entertainment, you know, venues and theatres.
12:57And the Palladium, you don't get bigger really.
13:00And then the others are kind of music venues where I've seen bands, you know,
13:05like the Shepherd's Bush Empire, where I've been to see loads of bands over the years.
13:09So it's such a joy and a privilege to get to play these places, you know.
13:13You mentioned the tour. Since winning Strictly, you've done 360 dates, Chris.
13:18Wow, God.
13:20A, you must be shattered, and B, you must have some great stories to tell.
13:24Shattered is shattered, it's not the one, does it?
13:26There's a lot of people out there, they saw me on a dance floor and they thought,
13:28I wonder what that fella's like sat on a stool.
13:32So, yeah, the tickets were selling, you know, so we added more and more dates.
13:35But it's been such a joy to get out there and Strictly stretches the demographic, you know.
13:42It's not just people who see you on Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie To You?
13:46It's, you know, all generations and families coming along.
13:49Yeah, massive shore, Strictly.
13:51Absolutely.
13:51It does, it touches everyone.
13:53Yeah, it really does.
13:54Sounds terrifying.
13:55360.
13:56God damn, I can't imagine that.
13:59300, that's how many days in a year?
14:01Three, that's a year, isn't it?
14:02Yeah, yeah, but I did it over two and a half.
14:07But the thing is, Gregor, you are going back to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in 40 years,
14:13is it?
14:13Yes, well, actually, I worked at a house 50 years.
14:16Wow.
14:16Yeah, I'm that old, believe it or not.
14:18You never know.
14:19Yeah, in my 20s, in my 20s I was there, yeah.
14:22Why am I doing it?
14:23I think I'm doing it because I did a wee bit of touring this year and I forgot what it
14:27was like for real people being there, you know.
14:31Not to some camera point at you, like a gun.
14:34It was quite thrilling and quite exciting and I was amazed that some people turned up and that was even
14:41more exciting.
14:42Oh, behave yourself.
14:43No, it's true.
14:44You do a bit, don't you?
14:45You must feel like that.
14:47You think, oh, is there anybody in tonight?
14:48You have such anxiety over numbers sometimes.
14:51You do, don't you?
14:51Especially at the Edinburgh Fringe where there's so much competition.
14:54Yeah.
14:54You phone in love during the day, how many have I sold?
14:56Yeah, exactly.
14:58So I'm doing 16 shows at the Fringe.
15:01Oh, fantastic.
15:02It's not for the money, let me tell you, Vernon.
15:05It's not for the cash.
15:06Well, Chris has just had a new wing built after his three months.
15:09Oh, baby.
15:10Yes.
15:10Crikey.
15:11Well, Chris is stepping out of his comfort zones to take on the role of Sheriff in the murder mystery
15:17Whodunny Unrehearsed.
15:19It stars a new celebrity every night who is tasked with solving a murder with the help of their castmates
15:25and, of course, the audience.
15:27Yeah.
15:27Yeah, I mean, it's a charity show, so it runs, I think, 64 shows at the Park Theatre in Finsbury
15:36Park.
15:36And it's to raise money for all of the wonderful work they do with vulnerable adults and kids and underprivileged
15:42kids.
15:43And it's the only way they kind of make their money to support the work they do.
15:47And every show is a different kind of guest sheriff.
15:51And it's Benedict Cumberbatch is doing one, Gillian Anderson's doing one.
15:55Wow.
15:55And I doubt they're out there telling everyone that they're doing a show that Chris McCausland's doing, but, you know,
16:00I'm...
16:00I bet you they are.
16:02I bet you they are.
16:04Sir Ian McKellen does the narration for it.
16:06That's right, yeah.
16:06But he's also doing one of the shows this year.
16:08But I think technically this means that on my CV I can say that I have done theatre with Sir
16:14Ian McKellen, so...
16:15But it's a tricky one, though, isn't it, Chris?
16:17Because you turn up, you don't necessarily get to rehearse.
16:20You meet the cast.
16:21Yeah.
16:21They talk you through the movements on the stage.
16:24But you don't get the script, is that right?
16:26No, so they've all rehearsed, but we don't know what we've got coming up, you know?
16:30So you don't know the script, you have an earpiece in, and you get fed the lines as it's happening
16:35around you.
16:35Oh, that's so scary.
16:36So you turn up an hour before the show, and, yeah, you don't know what's going on.
16:41You don't know whether there's a song, a dance, or, you know, what the lines are going to be, what
16:46the story is at all.
16:47So it's completely unrehearsed for the, you know, the guest sheriff every night.
16:52Have you had lines fed into your ear before?
16:54Well, do you know, like, I'm always used to do, I mean, when you're doing telly, if you're ever hosting
16:58anything on the telly, you have an earpiece, don't you?
17:00So usually, you know, as you know, when you're doing something like this, usually telling you to worry up and
17:05get a move on it.
17:06Oh, there's a lot of chats on the long shore.
17:07Yeah.
17:08I'm telling you right now, Chris, we're 40 seconds over.
17:11All right?
17:12It's as simple as that.
17:13So, but no, I mean, it's a brilliant cause, and some of the names, you know, Harry Hill, Julian Clary's
17:19doing it, Emma Thompson, you know, and so to just be in that mix and be a part of it
17:24is, you know, it's exciting.
17:27And it's going to be a good cause as well.
17:30It sounds like a real adrenaline rush.
17:32Sounds fun, doesn't it?
17:32Who Done It Unrehearsed 4 will be at Lundians Park Theatre from 9th of May, and Chris will be on
17:38tour again until the 18th of May.
17:41Another wing.
17:42Your lucky bill must be massive.
17:45Still to come, Gregor will be telling us all about filming the new series of his hilarious father and son
17:51comedy.
17:52But first, we're off to Norfolk, where real-life father and son Mike and Zachary Dilger are learning how they
17:56can help a rare British species from the comfort of their own home.
18:01This is the Large Marsh Grasshopper.
18:04As the name suggests, it's the UK's largest and one of our rarest grasshoppers.
18:11Unfortunately, his colourful creatures are under threat from habitat loss, but a rewilding project hopes to change that.
18:18And we've wanted to help.
18:19We certainly have.
18:21Dr Stuart Green is the Grasshopper Expert at Citizen's Zoo, an organisation dedicated to restoring habitats and rewilding Britain.
18:31Stuart, we've actually seen me and Zachary the Large Marsh Grasshopper once.
18:36Why is it so rare?
18:38Mainly because it likes marshy conditions.
18:41Over the last 50 years, say, there's been a lot of drainage of the land and marshy places have become
18:47fewer and smaller in size.
18:49How are you helping with the Large Marsh Grasshopper?
18:52We're very much into getting the general public involved in conservation work, rearing the grasshoppers at home, and then releasing
19:00them into places where it used to live, made wetter.
19:04Alongside 16 volunteers, we've signed up to rear 150 grasshoppers from tiny eggs to adults.
19:12They'll be released into a rewilded area of Norfolk, but first we need to know how to look after them.
19:19I'm going to give you some grasshopper eggs and the grasshopper cage, and you're going to set them up in
19:25there in some moist sand.
19:27It takes about three to four weeks from a tiny hatchling to an adult.
19:32I'm going to give you enough eggs to produce 150, but not all the eggs hatch.
19:37I'm hoping you can raise 50.
19:39Are there any particular don'ts that we should know about?
19:43Occasionally, the grasshopper will jump onto your arm or something like that.
19:47Do not panic.
19:48Stuart has a special device for capturing any escapees.
19:53So this is a pooter.
19:54Basically, you point the tip at the head of the grasshopper, suck on this end, and the grasshopper will fly
20:00up into the main chamber.
20:03Very good. Perfect.
20:06That's from...
20:06That's great.
20:09Armed with our grasshopper eggs and their new enclosure, we head home to settle them in.
20:15We'll need to give them fresh coxfoot grass every day, and make sure the temperature stays around 29 degrees.
20:22And after four days, the eggs start to hatch.
20:26They are so busy and active, aren't they?
20:29Yeah. I can't believe I've got 150 new pets.
20:32I know. You're going to do a great job.
20:34With our grasshoppers becoming more active, we give Stuart an update on how we're getting on.
20:40We have some very good news, Stuart.
20:42Lots of baby grasshoppers.
20:45Excellent. Excellent.
20:46And then for the next three weeks, they'll hardly ever stop eating.
20:50Is there anything we need to kind of be wary of or look out for?
20:53So long as they get their fresh grass, usually they'll be OK.
20:56We are so enjoying being grasshopper guardians.
20:59It's great fun.
21:00It's been amazing.
21:01Isn't it?
21:03Over the next few weeks, our grasshopper nymphs molt several times, before emerging as winged adults.
21:10They have grown loads and are massive now.
21:14We're seeing some brilliant behaviour where they flick their leg onto their back wing, making a tick, tick, tick sound.
21:22Only the male grasshoppers make this sound, and it's done to impress the females.
21:28Now fully grown, they're ready for release.
21:31Hi, Stuart. We've got a gift for you.
21:33All right.
21:34So how's it been?
21:35It's been brilliant.
21:36Just kind of hearing them bounce around like popcorn when you're watching TV at night.
21:41They do that, yeah.
21:42We think we have some egg pods as well.
21:45Fantastic.
21:46And unfortunately, we can't join you in Norfolk because one of us had an accident.
21:52But we're really grateful that you can release that.
21:53No, not a problem. I'll go there and do it in your name.
21:57After a magical four weeks, our time as grasshopper guardians is over.
22:03It's been brilliant.
22:04What an absolute pleasure.
22:08The next day, Stuart and his team release 110 healthy hoppers in a rewilded area in Norfolk,
22:15many of them raised by volunteers like us.
22:18And they plan to keep raising and releasing them
22:22until the large marsh grasshopper is once again thriving.
22:27Thanks, Mike and Zachary.
22:28Great work.
22:29Yeah, very much.
22:30Great work to do your bit for wildlife.
22:31Exactly.
22:32Well, staying with families, Gregor here is back on our screens next week
22:36as one half of father and son duo Ken and Richard in the BBC comedy Only Child.
22:41Now, the show sees Ken's son move back into the family home to look after him,
22:45which isn't always plain sailing.
22:46Before we chat more, let's have a look.
22:49Are you actually planning on getting dressed today?
22:52One sec, guys.
22:53My family wants to ask me a question.
22:54Can I help you?
22:55I am not letting you waste another day playing this silly computer game with your sad little actor pals.
23:01They're not sad little actor pals.
23:03Although I'm a bit concerned about Terry.
23:05He's almost 60.
23:06Yeah, 62 actually.
23:08Headphones, mute.
23:09Listen, just because Norway didn't work out doesn't mean you have to give up on life.
23:14I've not given up on life.
23:16I have.
23:17Oh, headphones.
23:22Well, Gregor, Nanette has been in touch.
23:25And Nanette says, thank you, Gregor, for bringing back Only Child,
23:29a truly funny show with two of our best comedy actors.
23:33That's nice, isn't it?
23:33That's nice.
23:34So let's set the scene then, because in the last series,
23:37we saw the son of your character move back in.
23:40Yes.
23:41And there was quite a lot of friction, some heartfelt moments as well in there.
23:46Where do we find them now, then, in this series?
23:49Well, it's kind of, there's a bit of role reversal now.
23:52He was looking after me, and I'm looking after him,
23:54because things haven't been going very well for Richard, the poor boy.
23:58He's not been acting very much.
24:00These theatricals, it's always the case.
24:02You're either in or you're out, and this is an out period for him.
24:06And he's not getting on well with his girlfriend.
24:09So I've taken to looking after him.
24:12And I've got a bit of romantic interest in my life.
24:18Oh, what?
24:18Yes, indeed, I've got a girlfriend.
24:21And so Ken's living his best life, and his wee boy isn't, really.
24:28And in this series, Ken has to re-sit his driving test
24:31at the tender age of 75.
24:32He does.
24:33Yeah, quite a tricky situation.
24:35How did he get himself into that?
24:36Well, the previous motor car ended up in the local public swimming pool.
24:44And he drove it in there, because he got into a bit of a pickle
24:47and kind of clapped.
24:49So nobody knew that until the end of the show.
24:51But consequently, he's been asked to, he's got to re-sit his driving test.
24:57Well, he would be asked to.
24:59Fair enough, yeah.
24:59Fair enough.
25:00Yeah, yeah.
25:01And you say that you're quite similar to your character, Ken.
25:05Maybe not the romance bit, because we know you've got a lovely wife.
25:08Yeah.
25:08But how, then?
25:09How are you similar?
25:10Drive his car in the swimming pool.
25:11Yeah.
25:12Yeah.
25:15Well, I didn't, I didn't actually, I didn't realise I was similar
25:20until I started playing the character.
25:21And people watched the show and said, that's you, Dad.
25:24You do that.
25:24I say, I don't do that.
25:26You do.
25:26You do do that.
25:27Like, I have an aversion with technology.
25:30I hate technology.
25:31I hate all that barcode stuff.
25:33Yes.
25:34I was in my hotel last night and I phoned up.
25:36I said, we've got a room service.
25:38I said, there's going to be my menu in the room.
25:39She said, you've got to scan the barcode.
25:41I said, I've no idea what you're talking about.
25:43The QR code, you scan that.
25:46And so I just didn't eat.
25:48Because I...
25:49Yes.
25:49I know.
25:51That's why I'm losing so much bloody weight.
25:53It's terrible.
25:54So I can't do that.
25:55So the character, Ken, has...
25:58You can't, you know, get on and off trains.
26:00You get that thing, that barcode, you know, the...
26:02What is it?
26:02The QR code.
26:03The QR code.
26:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:05It's absolutely beyond me.
26:06I hate it.
26:06We mentioned Rabsy Nesbitt earlier on.
26:09He did.
26:09That's where you first worked with your co-star, Greg,
26:12on Rabsy Nesbitt.
26:13Yes.
26:13That's where you met first, right?
26:15I did meet him there.
26:16I forgot all about him, but he intimated...
26:18There he's on the screen.
26:19Yeah.
26:20He's...
26:20There's you on the screen.
26:21Yes.
26:22Good-looking girly there.
26:24Yes, he was in that, and I'd forgotten he was in it,
26:27but he said...
26:30That's terrible.
26:31Look at that.
26:31Look at that.
26:32Absolutely awful.
26:34Yes, he said he was on that and got a bit nervous.
26:38I said, I don't remember you being nervous.
26:40Were you nervous?
26:40Yeah, he said I was going to be a bit of a state.
26:42But I thought he was rather good.
26:44He's very good in this show, and he should be here tonight,
26:47and he's not, because he's got a tummy bug,
26:49and this is a nice, green, clean sofa.
26:53LAUGHTER
26:54Oh, God.
26:55Better safe and sorry.
26:56You're barging from coming.
26:57Yes, but he is brilliant in it.
26:58Better safe and sorry.
26:59Yeah.
27:00Yeah.
27:00Well, Only Child will be on BBC One next Wednesday at 9.30pm,
27:05and viewers in Scotland get a real treat,
27:06because you get to watch it a little bit sooner,
27:08Monday at 10.30pm on BBC Scotland,
27:10and obviously it's going to be on the iPlayer.
27:12Glad he didn't come, actually, to be honest with you.
27:14That's it for tonight.
27:15Thanks very much to Gregor and Chris, of course,
27:17and Matt with Watchdog.
27:19Roman and I will be back tomorrow,
