00:00Yes!
00:02NANDERS, LONDON!
00:03Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
00:17A prêt-à-manger on every corner.
00:20Oh!
00:22Am I allowed to swear?
00:23Fuck yeah.
00:24Although once I went there with my Nan many years ago
00:27and she went, should we get a sandwich in the manger?
00:30And I was like, Granny, it's not the manger.
00:34Cockney accents.
00:35I mean, how could it not be London?
00:37Proper Cockney.
00:38My Nan was proper Cockney.
00:41Born within the sound of the Bowbells.
00:44Not mucking about.
00:45Football clubs.
00:47I mean...
00:49I know I'm in a football show.
00:51I should know more about this.
00:52I'm going to go for Solidarity, not London, Liverpool.
00:56Yeah, my mum's from the Isle of Man.
00:58The Liverpool-Isle of Man connection is strong.
01:01And, uh, side note, when I was in the Isle of Man,
01:03she used to say that we're all called come-overs.
01:06Naked attraction.
01:08Brilliant and rank at the same time.
01:11It's so rancid.
01:13Bart, you're like that.
01:14No, stop it.
01:16It's the fact that they start from the feet upwards.
01:19You're like, we don't need to see anybody's junk first.
01:22I would say that British TV is more liberal after the watershed.
01:28I'm not sure I entirely agree with that sometimes.
01:31I think we need to find ways to perhaps use our vocabulary more intelligently.
01:36Says she, the greatest potty mouth.
01:38Paying 18 pounds for a cocktail.
01:40A hundred percent London.
01:42Although, if you go down to lovely flipping Cornwall, oh, it's ridiculous.
01:48It's like the London of the coast.
01:50I mean, I love a cocktail, but calm down.
01:53Driving everywhere.
01:54No, not London. That's LA.
01:57LA is unbelievable for that.
01:59But I suppose it does give you a little minute to yourself.
02:01What I'm not down with is this whole driverless doodahs.
02:05I am not getting in a car without a person driving.
02:08And the person that was booking it went,
02:10well, yeah, but the car's not going to have a heart attack, is it?
02:13And I thought, wow, this is a cheery conversation.
02:17Cheeky Nando's.
02:19Nando's, London.
02:21I love a peritamer, just saying.
02:24Calling it the tube.
02:25Well, what else do you call it?
02:27In fact, somebody the other day said they were going to get the subway here to me.
02:31They're American.
02:32I went, I'm sorry, you need to repeat your sentence and say it properly.
02:35It's the tube.
02:36The skanky, skanky tube.
02:38Going to the pub at lunch.
02:40I mean, it is very London, but it's not my bag.
02:42Because I just think if I'm in the pub at lunchtime, there's no chance I'm getting out of it.
02:47And that's just going to sprawl into the rest of the day.
02:50Rooftop bars.
02:52That's universal.
02:54They're everywhere, no?
02:55Beautiful ones.
02:57Avoiding Oxford Street.
02:58I don't.
02:59I'm just go off piste.
03:01I don't avoid Oxford Street.
03:04There's some nice bits and pieces on Oxford Street.
03:06The tourists just need to get out of the way.
03:08Wellness.
03:09Wellness is universal, my friend.
03:12We should all be on it.
03:14Have you had any mad treatments like a snail facial?
03:16No, see, I don't go in for all that.
03:18I don't want a snail to do its business on my face.
03:22That sounds so wrong.
03:24Primark.
03:25Primarni.
03:26Yes.
03:27Love a bit of Primarni.
03:28Love a bit of Primarni.
03:29Love a bit of TK Maxx.
03:31Primark originated in Ireland as Pennies.
03:34Well, not anymore, chaps.
03:37Free museums.
03:39I mean, London, but also New York.
03:43I've got some beauties as well.
03:45What's your favourite museum in London?
03:47I'd probably say the Tate Modern.
03:49I just love the Turbine Hall.
03:51It's just, oh, just mega.
03:53I remember there was an installation years ago where you just lay on the ground and it
03:57was just beautiful.
03:59Really gorgeous.
03:59And down by the river.
04:00Also, I would say the Victorian Albert, that's pretty epic too.
04:04And the natural history when they filmed Greystoke there.
04:08Oh, beautiful.
04:10Uber.
04:12Everywhere.
04:13I try to get a good old London black cab as much as I can, even where I live outside
04:19London,
04:20because they've done the knowledge, they put the work in, and they don't use their sat-nav.
04:27Even if they are a bit grumpy.
04:29Picnics in Regent's Park.
04:30Beautiful.
04:32London.
04:32Absolutely.
04:34Kensington Palace Gardens.
04:35Also yummy.
04:37Taking the Eurostar to Paris.
04:40Chic!
04:42London.
04:43I mean, it's also not London, isn't it?
04:44I did it recently, and it never fails to surprise me.
04:48I love it.
04:49Because I nearly moved to Australia, and I remember being in tears to my parents going,
04:54I can't nip to Paris anymore!
04:57Queuing.
04:58I'm not a fan of queuing.
05:00Queuing is very London, standing in line, of course, in America.
05:04I feel like I've avoided queuing since about 1992.
05:09No, it's nothing to do with confidence, I just can't stand standing in a queue,
05:13and I just think I'm not sure anything is that worthwhile if you're standing outside for ages.
05:18Especially like clubs or bars or whatever, I just think we'll go somewhere else and make it our own party.
05:23Walking fast.
05:24That is so...
05:25Well, it is a London thing, but it's also very much a New York thing.
05:28It's almost like they're levitating in New York.
05:31I'm definitely one of those Londoners who is like a battering ram wanting everyone to get out of the way.
05:37Free parking.
05:39Absolutely not!
05:41Are we joking?
05:42Ha ha ha!
05:43No!
05:44Who wrote that?
05:46Adele.
05:48100%.
05:49Good girl.
05:49I love her.
05:50She's got the best bones.
05:52Amy Winehouse.
05:53Oh, that girl.
05:56100% London, 100% Camden.
05:59Real deal, and my gosh, the tragedy that we don't get to hear those beautiful velvet tones for the rest
06:05of our lives.
06:06Dua Lipa.
06:07I think so.
06:09Another one with a cracking set of pipes on her.
06:12Beautiful.
06:13Bridget Jones.
06:15Yeah.
06:16Yeah.
06:17Absolutely.
06:18And Renee Zellweger with the most astonishing English accent.
06:24Really something else.
06:26Very much a fan of the movies and even more shocked then when I received an email from her saying,
06:31I love your work, let's do something together.
06:33I was literally like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, what?
06:38Ted Lasso.
06:40Well, it's Richmond, but it's very much American as well with our Apple TV and Warner Brothers Brothers and Sisters.
06:51And it just manages to cross the pond so beautifully.
06:56But at its heart, yes.
07:01Richmond.
07:02What can fans expect from season four?
07:06A totally different vibe and just the same as well.
07:10And we've got some magnificent female actors joining us that this is their greatest calling card.
07:17And I'm really excited for everyone to see what they've what they've left on the show.
07:22Oyster cards.
07:23Oh, very.
07:24Yeah.
07:24I loved it when the old tap in, tap out shizzle started.
07:28Afternoon tea.
07:30I would say Fortnum and Mason's.
07:33Or my beloved Claridge's.
07:35I just think it's quintessential beautiful London.
07:40Harrods.
07:41Yes.
07:42Beautiful.
07:43When I was little, I remember going in there to get our first ever dog.
07:48Who is called Dog Dog.
07:50Sometimes abbreviated to dog.
07:52And I just loved it.
07:53I literally felt like, like, you know, when Harry Potter first goes into Gringotts.
07:58Yeah.
07:58Beautiful.
07:59And when it's lit up, come on.
08:01Just sensational.
08:02I think they used to sell ridiculous things like flipping lions.
08:06Yeah.
08:07So chic.
08:07Or let them be in the wild.
08:09If I was a lion and I was going to be sold anywhere, I was bought from Arras.
