00:12Hello there and welcome to your Friday One Show live on BBC One and iPlayer.
00:16And back with me after giving it her all in last week's London Marathon is the legend, Clara Ample.
00:21Hello. I'm recovered. I've got a low shoe on today on purpose.
00:26Honestly, I should bow down. And it will be you next year.
00:28No pressure. No, only joking. It will not be out.
00:31But we are racing ahead into the bank holiday weekend with lots of treats and, of course, some great guests.
00:35Yes. Miranda Starr, Sarah Hadland and Stephen Mangan from The Split are taken to the stage as they team up
00:41for a hilarious play all about two married couples getting caught in a web of lies.
00:46Oh, yes. We live for the drama. And we've got even more of it because also joining us is another
00:51brilliant actor, Tom Burke.
00:53He's been in huge shows, including The Musketeers and, of course, Strike.
00:56And he's now starring alongside Steve Coogan in a thrilling new crime drama called Legends.
01:02It's set in the 90s and is inspired by a remarkable true story all about a customs officer turned undercover
01:08agent.
01:09It is so good. And also the soundtrack is on point.
01:12And completing our line-up is Gladiators host and casualty star Barney Walsh.
01:17Now, Barney will be sharing why the hospital drama's upcoming episodes are some of its most exciting yet as it
01:22enters its 40th anniversary year.
01:24Can you believe that? He'll also be telling us how he has once again been getting his dad's Bradley poor
01:30thing to face his fear of heights as they travel around Australia for the new series of Breaking Dad, which
01:36kicks off tonight.
01:37And a lot closer to home. 19 million trips are expected to be made in the UK over the bank
01:42holiday this weekend.
01:44We had lots of families enjoying a mini break, so the wonderful Danny Dyer has checked into a classic holiday
01:49camp to find out why they are such a treasured part of the great British holiday for generations.
01:54But first tonight, for anyone planning on making the most of the long weekend by getting lost in a goods
02:00book, you might want to look to TikTok for your next recommendation.
02:03Oh, yes. Now, this week, the first BookTok bestseller list was launched, so Amy Fuller has been to find out
02:09why social media influencers are shaping the way we discover our books.
02:14With 77 million reviews, BookTok has become a powerhouse in modern publishing, reviving bookshops and catapulting new authors into the
02:24spotlight.
02:25And now TikTok is joining the ranks, the Sunday Times, Amazon, Waterstones, with its very own BookTok topseller list.
02:35Created in partnership with Nilsson Book Data, it combines UK sales data with analysis of the BookTok hashtag.
02:44Have you heard of BookTok?
02:46Yes.
02:47Yeah.
02:47What I always like, they have a stack of books.
02:51Yeah.
02:51And what they do is, they say, if you like this book, that you will like this and this and
02:55this, and they gave it ratings, like, is it worth reading?
02:58And I actually, I save them.
03:00So if then I'm in a store, and I was like, oh, I really want to read this book, then
03:04I do buy it.
03:05Do you read much?
03:06I do, yeah. I read a lot of fiction.
03:08So when it comes to finding new books, new genres, where do you look?
03:13On reviews online, or I use TikTok a lot as well, yeah.
03:15Tell me how you digest the information.
03:17It just depends on the video. It depends how enticing it is.
03:21I've been reading The Wolf King, and I'm absolutely loving it. I'm 80 pages in, and it's so good, guys.
03:25Emily Russell has been posting BookTok reviews online for six years.
03:30I feel like BookTok reviews are a little bit more personal, and also, no one on BookTok is, like, an
03:35official reviewer.
03:36The people face to camera, just who really love books and certain types of books, is based on vibes, basically.
03:41If you like the book, you'll recommend it to people.
03:43There is a BookTok top 20. Would you look to that?
03:48No. No.
03:49I know what's trending, but I think for new people, definitely look at it, just to see what's going on,
03:54what's going on in the world.
03:54But also, if you go to bookstores, normally they have a little BookTok table or, like, bestsellers.
03:58That's where all the books will be as well.
04:0011 million UK book sales in 2025 were attributed to BookTok, and it's become the top discovery platform for young
04:08readers.
04:09HarperCollins' research showed that 27% of teens are using BookTok to find their book choices.
04:15People feeling confident to be able to choose a book that they are going to like, that they're going to
04:19feel engaged with and interested in.
04:21I think it's so exciting what we've seen with the bestseller list that just came out there, that BookTok has
04:26opened doors into different kinds of reading.
04:28I didn't read before. I was on TikTok a lot, and then you see them describing books.
04:35I'm like, oh, that is like a series. That is like a movie. It must be very fun to read.
04:39It has inspired me to read more.
04:42We are seeing a massive rise because of BookTok into romantic fantasy.
04:47And so we have, like, a fantasy section that has quite a bit of romantic in it.
04:51We're also seeing a bit of a shift into horror, which is, like, newly picking up as well.
04:55And with BookTok, that thing of just, like, oh, my God, I love this bit about it, and I love
04:58this bit about it.
04:59And, yeah, it's just, like, it's contagious.
05:01So I didn't realise you were actually ferrying a box of books.
05:05Rainbow, milk, full, random.
05:06Just based on purely on the cover.
05:07Interesting. Financial Times, Sunday Times.
05:11In a year's time, it's going to say BookTok.
05:17Ah, thank you, Amy. See, I love a good book recommendation.
05:20Yeah, absolutely. And we love new authors getting recognition, so here for that.
05:24All right, then, it's time now to welcome our guests.
05:26It's five-star film reviews, six-star book reviews, all round for Barney Walsh, Tom Burke, Sarah Hadland and Stephen
05:32Mangold.
05:35Stephen, I'm going to start with you first, because alongside acting and presenting, you yourself are also an esteemed author.
05:41Thank you very much.
05:41You've got a children's book coming out soon.
05:43Do you think that social media has been helpful when it comes to getting the word out about free literature?
05:47There are so many books out there. It's really hard to...
05:50It's the forest of books, especially if you're going to a bookshop or you look online.
05:53So any recommendation from online, from your local bookshop, from me...
05:58If you're looking for a book, for example, for an 8- to 12-year-old, Welcome to Weird Street
06:02is out next week.
06:03Hey, there we go.
06:04It's very good.
06:06And, of course, Barney, last time I saw you was at Windsor Castle.
06:09Yes.
06:09500 words.
06:10And it was a lovely day, wasn't it?
06:12It was awesome.
06:13There was a lot of hope, because you could see these children who just loved writing and hopefully reading books,
06:18too.
06:19Yeah, it was amazing.
06:19And they're great writers as well.
06:21The stories were incredible.
06:23There's definitely some future authors there amongst those kids.
06:25Well, it put the adults to shame, didn't it?
06:27Oh, it did.
06:27It really did.
06:28We are going to be talking drama with Tom very soon, but first we are talking comedy with Stephen and
06:33Sarah,
06:33as they are heading to the West End, where they play The Truth,
06:36which is all about two couples getting caught up in their own lies.
06:40Oh, Stephen, here we are again.
06:42Yes, I know.
06:43Now.
06:44Why me?
06:45I know.
06:45You seem to attract these guys.
06:47It's really bizarre, isn't it?
06:49Well, tell us about this slot, then, because it's quite complicated.
06:53The truth, yeah.
06:53Well, the first thing I should say, I think it's the funniest play I've come across in over 20 years.
06:57It is hilarious.
06:58It's about two couples.
06:59Sarah is married to Ardell O'Hanlon.
07:01Yeah.
07:02Congratulations.
07:03I'm married to Janie D.
07:04And it's about the untangling of their relationships and the lies that we tell ourselves, that we tell our partners,
07:13that we tell each other.
07:14Because sometimes a lie is kinder than the truth.
07:18Yeah, and there's a quote, isn't there, Voltaire, that I can't remember now.
07:21It's something like, a lie is only a bad thing if it causes suffering.
07:26That's a terrible quote.
07:27But it's kind of like, you know, it might save somebody, it might make, it might, you know...
07:31So there's room for the ultimate.
07:32It could kinder, it could be kinder.
07:34To take your lie.
07:35Yeah.
07:36A white lie.
07:36Yeah, yeah.
07:37I mean, these are slightly bigger than white lies.
07:39Yes, it's a mess.
07:41It's an absolute mess.
07:42It sounds like it.
07:43But it's so brilliantly plotted, we don't sort of give anything away.
07:47But, yeah, it sort of unravels and things aren't what they seem.
07:50Yeah.
07:50But Sarah, you do say this play is more relevant than ever, you reckon?
07:53Yeah, I think so.
07:54Because of, you know, we live in a time of social media, everybody loves, I think things
07:57are very, podcasts and all these different things are so popular on social media because
08:01people love to know the tea, don't they?
08:03They want to know what's going on.
08:04Have I said that right?
08:05Spill the tea.
08:06Yeah.
08:07It's you to speak.
08:08And basically, I think we all want to know what's going on, don't we?
08:11We want the gossip.
08:12And that's why I think this play is so relevant because I think people in the audience will
08:16either be going, oh, that's me, or, oh, yeah, thrilled, they're getting their comeuppance.
08:21And I think most people have told, you know, we all tell, we all lie to different degrees,
08:26don't we, to our children, we all tell little, little lies.
08:29Occasionally.
08:29If my children are watching, I never lie.
08:32No, same, same, same.
08:33But we know you've definitely lied before, Sarah.
08:36I have, yes.
08:37And especially in a sort of an audition.
08:40I did.
08:40My agent rung me.
08:41This is right at the beginning of my career.
08:43And, um, uh...
08:44Disclaimer.
08:45I love that.
08:46What about that?
08:46I wouldn't dream of lying now.
08:48But this was kind of a situation where my agent rung me and said, can you roller skate?
08:51And of course, you know.
08:53Yes.
08:53Yes, yes.
08:54Well, we've got an audition for you for Starlight Express tomorrow.
08:57So I was like, yeah, that's great.
08:58Of course I can skate.
08:59No problem.
08:59I went and got a really tatty pair of roller boots, like little white leather ones with
09:04red wheels, you know, like a child would wear.
09:05And I went to Pineapple Dance Studios, went into the back of the room, and they were there
09:10at the other end of the room behind a desk, and they said, if you could just, like, skate
09:13towards us, and I just did a very slow slalom towards them, and ended, like, nose to nose
09:19with them at the desk, and they just went, you can't skate, can you?
09:21And I just went, no.
09:22And they went, next.
09:23But then to get out of the room, I had to sort of crab my way across while still maintaining
09:28eye contact.
09:29And then when I got to the end of the desk, I was really in trouble, so I was on
09:32the
09:32floor, and she just scuttled out.
09:34And then I watched the next person go in, it was like a street skater.
09:37They said, span in, and have you been through the same experience?
09:40Did you audition for Starlight?
09:41I've never auditioned for Starlight yet.
09:44No, I've never lied, but sometimes I think, well, you're only going in, there isn't a script,
09:48and they start just telling you about the character, and they say, the character's very lighthearted,
09:51and you go, oh, yeah.
09:52And then they go, but kind of with a dark side, and you go, hmm.
09:55And you start trying to sort of show them what they're talking about.
09:58Yes, I've definitely done that.
10:00Stephen, no stranger to a lie, as you said.
10:03Oh, well.
10:03Don't want to get you in further trouble, but there was an occasion when it came to
10:08the birth of your glorious, well, the first of your glorious children.
10:11That's unbelievable.
10:12Where you took your child somewhere that your wife didn't quite know about.
10:15I'm a big Spurs fan.
10:16I thought the great thing about having children is we'd be able to go to football matches together,
10:19and as soon as he was born, Harry, I thought, I want to get him to Spurs now, but I
10:23can't
10:23take him to a game.
10:25So when he was eight days old, I said to Louise, I'm just going to take Harry out for a
10:30walk
10:30in the pram.
10:30I did not, to a football match.
10:32And I said, wait, wait, wait, so I sort of went round the corner, ran to the car, threw
10:38the baby in the car, drove to White Hart Lane, took him outside the ground, gave my phone
10:43to someone, said, take a picture of me and my son, took a picture when he was eight days
10:47old.
10:47We've got it.
10:48Oh, yeah.
10:49Here we go.
10:50There you are.
10:51That is the proof of the lie.
10:52I mean, it's a very loose holding of baby, isn't it?
10:54Very sort of, you're more bothered with your points.
10:56Well, of course.
10:57And not only that, Sarah, he did it again.
10:59He did it again.
10:59He did it again.
11:00Louise said, you're not going to do it with Frank, our second son.
11:02I went, I won't do that.
11:03There he is.
11:03There's Frank, eight days old.
11:05Re-offender.
11:06Being the...
11:06And you've got a bit cocky now.
11:07Always look at your face.
11:08Yeah.
11:10Oh, my goodness.
11:11But they are definitely both Spurs fans.
11:13They are Spurs fans.
11:13I didn't do it with my third son, Jack, and he's now a Liverpool fan.
11:16Well, there you go.
11:17Oh, well, it's all right then.
11:18Yeah.
11:19That's fine.
11:20Stephen and Sarah's play, The Truth, opens at the Apollo Theatre in London on the 9th of
11:26June.
11:26Now then, still to come, Tom will be telling us all about how he went from fan to co-star
11:31when he teamed up with Steve Coogan on his fantastic new drama Legends.
11:35Plus, Barney will be sharing his adrenaline-fuelled adventures with his dad through Australia.
11:39Poor Bradley.
11:40It's a lot.
11:41It's a lot.
11:41Just you wait and see.
11:42But first, we are off on a getaway right here in the UK as we celebrate a true British
11:47institution, the good old holiday camp.
11:49So Danny Dyer has been to find out where it all started and why so many people still
11:53love them.
11:58For generations, holiday camps have been at the heart of the Great British Getaway, designed
12:03to offer affordable breaks for everyone.
12:07The first camps opened in the late 1890s.
12:10Decades later, it was a scowl imagined by Billy Butlin and Fred Pontin that turned a simple
12:16break by the sea into something millions would come to cherish.
12:21Like a lot of families, we really look forward to our holidays.
12:25When I was little, we spent a precious week at a holiday camp and I loved it because we
12:30was right next to the seaside and had loads of parks on our doorstep.
12:33And I'm not the only one.
12:35What's your favourite thing about the holiday parks?
12:38The evening entertainment.
12:40Do you always come together as well?
12:42Hopefully when they have grandchildren, they'll do the same.
12:44I love the sand.
12:46I love making sandcastles or like burying something in the sand.
12:49Can you find it though if you bury it?
12:51It depends how long ago I buried it.
12:55Butlin's opened its first holiday camp here in Skegness in 1936 and 90 years later, it's still
13:02going strong.
13:03Yum, yum, yum.
13:04So nice.
13:05Danielle Baker from Essex has been holidaying at Butlin's since she was three.
13:10Now she's doing the same with partner Jay and their three children.
13:14I got a swimming party in the evening.
13:17Danielle, what is your like childhood memories?
13:19Me and my mum would stay.
13:21Me and my dad would do day visits.
13:23I used to love the wrestling.
13:24I think personally for me what I love about holiday results, especially when you have kids,
13:29is everything is together.
13:30There's no travelling or you haven't got to get in a car anywhere.
13:34Yeah.
13:34I mean like a fun fair.
13:36Yeah, the fun fair.
13:37With amazing rides.
13:39Swimming, shows.
13:41Like everything's just in one place.
13:44Do you like going to the park?
13:46Do you like going on the swings?
13:48Whether the holiday was here or at Pontings, it was the red and blue coats who brought
13:53the place to life.
13:54And plenty of famous entertainers like Stephen Mulhern, Bradley Walsh and Brian Connolly started
14:01out here.
14:02Today in Skegness, that responsibility falls to people like Hattie, Ellie Mae and Jade.
14:09When I was round about eight years old, I remember we were just coming home from holiday saying
14:14to my mum and dad, like, I want to be one of those red ladies.
14:18How mad is that?
14:19It's like you manifested it.
14:20Yeah.
14:20Hattie, you've only been here for three months.
14:23Yeah, started in January.
14:24What's it like?
14:25Tell us.
14:25Do you know what?
14:26It's amazing.
14:27What about you, Ellie Mae?
14:28I've been here eight years now.
14:29Wow.
14:30Yeah, a long time now, but I love it so much.
14:33It's the perfect job.
14:34For Greg and Penny, it proved not only to be the perfect job, but a love match.
14:40We met as redcoats in 2003, I believe it was.
14:44And we were really good friends, and I guess the rest is history.
14:48So, obviously, you aren't redcoats anymore, but you still work here.
14:52I'm a Kylie tribute as well, Kylie Minogue.
14:54Stop.
14:54So, yeah.
14:55Yeah, she's great.
14:56I get to do that here.
14:58I was here the other day, actually, and the kids got to come and watch, and then you're
15:01here a lot, aren't you?
15:02Yeah, I'm still lucky enough to do a Saturday night type of game show.
15:06It must be nice when you love something so much to be able to do it, like, you know,
15:10it's your job.
15:11It's like a home away from home, and that's why we settled down in a local village, and
15:16we decided we wanted to have kids here.
15:19Like, I've always loved love, and what a lovely little journey.
15:22But rising costs and changing habits have meant holiday camps have had to rethink how
15:27they operate and what they offer.
15:29We're aware of what's going on elsewhere in the entertainment business, and we try and
15:33harness all that and make sure that we do something that we can deliver consistently
15:37well, because that's really important as well.
15:39Yeah.
15:39So do you feel like you always have to update your offering, Andrew?
15:42Yeah, absolutely.
15:43We've recently updated our Sky Park, which is one of the biggest play parks in the UK,
15:47and the great bit about it is it's accessible for everybody.
15:50It's so inclusive, so the kids absolutely love it.
15:53Staying ahead of the game is key to their survival.
15:56Three, two, one.
16:02But tonight is about being all together.
16:08I've had so much fun today, and what I love about holiday camps like this is it brings families
16:14together to have fun, and that's why places like this still matter.
16:20Oh, thank you, Danny.
16:22You can tell she absolutely loves holiday camps.
16:24We love to watch her.
16:25And as she mentioned Barney, your dad, Bradley, started off in Pontins.
16:29He did, yeah.
16:30As a red coat.
16:30Was it red coat or blue coat?
16:32A red coat, yeah.
16:33Did you spend a lot of time in holiday camps when you were little?
16:40I actually did, yeah.
16:40My grandparents had a caravan up in Norfolk, in Scrappy Caravan Park.
16:44I used to go there a lot on the weekends with my cousin Billy, yeah.
16:47And we had a great time up there.
16:49It was great.
16:50We loved it.
16:50Deliciously wholesome.
16:51It's proper British, innit?
16:53Yeah, exactly.
16:54Proper British in it, exactly.
16:56We're going to be hearing more from Barney very soon.
16:58But first, we're going to talk high-stakes drama with Tom here,
17:01whose brand-new series is based on the incredible true story from the 90s
17:05about custom officers who were trained to go undercover to catch drug smugglers.
17:09Now, before Tom tells us more, let's take a look.
17:12We're holding a three-week top-secret training program for new recruits
17:15to attempt something we've never done before.
17:18Be sure.
17:19It will be the greatest challenge of your lives,
17:22taking on a level of danger and risk unimaginable.
17:26So we do this with all the danger that comes with it.
17:30And if we die doing it...
17:34..then no-one ever knows that we did it at all.
17:37Some people are cut out for it and some people aren't.
17:45Oh, it's so, they're so good.
17:46We've been able to have a sneaky peek. We're obsessed.
17:48Now, these guys, they're not your typical undercover agents, aren't they?
17:51They're a bit of an unlikely bunch.
17:53Yeah, it's quite similar to a lot of...
17:55..in terms of a set-up to a lot of British comedies
17:58like Calendar Girls or The Full Monty.
18:00It starts with a kind of unlikely group of people
18:02up against the odds, kind of pulling together.
18:04But then the stakes are incredibly high because of what they're doing.
18:08Well, yeah, cos your character guy,
18:09he's obviously not walking around with daffodils in front of him,
18:11as you mentioned Calendar Girls.
18:13He's doing some serious work.
18:15Yeah, tell us more about him.
18:16Well, he's involved in a sting operation for a drug
18:18I'm not sure I'm supposed to name, but the famously Moorish one.
18:22Yes.
18:23OK.
18:24And it was a real case.
18:25They did a massive sting operation and, yeah,
18:29they really were people who had, up to that point,
18:31been leading incredibly ordinary lives
18:32and took a kind of real deep dive into something.
18:35Well, that's the thing, cos you are characters,
18:37inspired by a real person, and you got to meet that person
18:40and his wife, didn't you?
18:41I did.
18:41I was particularly keen to meet his wife
18:43because of the way they'd written those scenes in the script.
18:48She was such a kind of champion for him going on to do this,
18:52and I was a bit like, was she really like this?
18:53And that was very accurate of the relationship.
18:57And the setting, obviously, is fantastic.
18:59It's a period piece, which is weird to say about the 90s,
19:01but a period piece in the 90s.
19:04The music's amazing.
19:06Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Depeche Mode.
19:08Was that a bit of you?
19:09Oh, yeah, yeah.
19:11Violator's one of my favourite albums, yeah.
19:12How was it like to sort of step back into that era,
19:15especially with the costuming and all of that?
19:17It was an era that I wasn't particularly sort of aware
19:19of what it was when it was happening,
19:21so you do go back and you go...
19:22I remember I had a shirt, like...
19:25I wear a lot of these, I don't know what the material...
19:28Non-breedable fabrics.
19:30Something that's a landfill.
19:32Something that's a landfill process.
19:33Yeah, and I have one like that.
19:36My friend Jess always used to say,
19:38you look like a drug dealer in that,
19:39and I never thought, well, does it really?
19:41And now I understand why.
19:42Yeah.
19:43All preparation for the role.
19:44Yeah.
19:45And Steve Coogan plays your boss,
19:47and, of course, you were a huge fan.
19:49That goes back to his Alan Partridge days.
19:51Yes.
19:52Very much.
19:53We watched some clips today in real estate.
19:55You can't...
19:55I mean, it's hysterical, isn't it?
19:57It's really hysterical.
19:59Now, here's the thing.
20:00You didn't want to admit you were a fan, though, did you?
20:02Why?
20:02When it came to Steve,
20:03you tried to play a bit cool?
20:05No.
20:06No.
20:07I'm a fan.
20:08I was quite...
20:09I think I was asking him about it on the first day.
20:12Yeah.
20:13Yeah.
20:13What was it like to work with him?
20:15Is he quite open or is he quite sort of chill?
20:17It's refreshing in that he's really happy to talk about it,
20:20because you work with some people
20:21who are very famous for a particular character.
20:23You're sometimes even told in advance,
20:24don't ask them about it.
20:25Oh, yeah.
20:26But he also...
20:28I mean, he's quite like Alan at times.
20:31There was a time that me and Charlotte Ritchie
20:33were discussing snacks, work snacks,
20:36and he suddenly piped up and went,
20:39I'm quite anti-raisin.
20:42They're very dry,
20:43but you put them in porridge and they rehydrate.
20:47And you sort of looked at him like,
20:48is he doing partridge?
20:50No, he's just...
20:51That's just...
20:51Just taking him.
20:53That's a brilliant impression.
20:54That is a very good impression.
20:56Now, Stephen, right here,
20:57you know Steve Coogan very well yourself,
20:59because, of course,
21:00there is one particular Alan Partridge scene,
21:02which we have watched several times a day,
21:04and it's still so funny.
21:07It follows you around everywhere.
21:08Here it is.
21:10Dan!
21:12Dan!
21:16I mean, speaking of custom offices...
21:20Dan!
21:23Was it fun to see you?
21:24I'm glad you're all laughing.
21:25This is my entire life.
21:28Do people shout it to you?
21:29Almost every day,
21:3025 years after we did it.
21:32It's amazing, yeah.
21:33Where's the most unlikely place
21:34that's been shouted at you?
21:35Coming into Heathrow at passport control.
21:37No!
21:38I gave the guy my passport,
21:40he went,
21:40thank you.
21:41Dan!
21:43How many of you got a job to do, mate?
21:45Iconic though.
21:46Very awkward, yeah.
21:47Iconic.
21:47I've also had it at Spurs.
21:48I interviewed on the middle of the pitch,
21:5060,000 people started shouting at me.
21:52No!
21:52Oh, that's amazing!
21:54There are worse things people can shout at you.
21:56Yeah, 100% of a football, Matt.
21:58And also it's payback, Stephen,
22:00taking the boys there when they were little.
22:02And, Tom, you are going back to the 70s
22:04for a BBC drama as well,
22:05California Avenue.
22:06What can you tell us about that one?
22:08Well, I can't say an awful lot,
22:10but you said the word hope earlier
22:11and I think it's full of that
22:14and that's what's really special about it.
22:17Nice.
22:17Well, dot, dot, dot.
22:18Dot, dot, dot.
22:19Intriguing.
22:19And super, super quickly,
22:20people love you on strike.
22:22There's a new series coming later this year.
22:23Can you tell us anything about that?
22:25Or again?
22:27It'd be on in the run-up to Christmas
22:29and it's about a cult.
22:31Very smart.
22:32You're not going to get in trouble
22:33with anybody up high.
22:34Congratulations on strike.
22:35So fantastic.
22:37Indeed.
22:38And Legends is going to be on Netflix,
22:39from next Thursday, the 7th of May.
22:42All right then, time now
22:42for some more action and adventure
22:44as Barney has taken his dad
22:45on a road trip around Australia
22:47for the brand-new series of Breaking Dad.
22:49And this time, he has really,
22:51quite, really, truly,
22:52has pushed Walsh Senior to the limit.
22:55Bradley and Barney are back.
22:56Come on!
22:57And this time,
22:58they're heading further from home
22:59than ever before.
23:01Australia.
23:02Wow.
23:03Barney's chasing thrills.
23:04And Brad, well,
23:05he's just questioning
23:06the life choices
23:07that led in the air.
23:12Oh, God.
23:14You're going to be written
23:15out to the will
23:16at this time.
23:17You may be.
23:18But this time,
23:19you go to Australia,
23:20which has been a bucket list destination
23:22for you and your dad.
23:23Absolutely, yeah.
23:24It's the furthest we've ever travelled
23:25and Australia is just,
23:26it's a wicked place.
23:27Have you guys ever been to Australia?
23:28Yeah.
23:29Phenomenal, beautiful.
23:30Yeah.
23:31So, you are an adrenaline junkie.
23:33Your dad clearly is not.
23:34No.
23:34There's one activity
23:35in tonight's episode
23:36which, as we mentioned,
23:37quite literally pushes him
23:38over the edge.
23:39Can you tell us a bit more about it?
23:41Yeah, we did,
23:41we did a stunt plane activity.
23:43We actually,
23:44we got permission
23:44from Sydney Airspace
23:45to do a stunt
23:48where, you know Top Gun,
23:49where the plane goes
23:50upside down
23:51on top of the other plane.
23:51So, we did that stunt
23:52up in the air over Sydney
23:54and, yeah,
23:56dad threw up.
23:56You've got a roof over you,
23:57are you?
23:57No, no,
23:58it was an open cockpit.
23:59Yeah, so I'm just dangling.
24:01Absolutely not.
24:01It was brilliant, though.
24:02It was brilliant.
24:03What was your dad like after that?
24:04He threw up.
24:05Did he?
24:06Yeah.
24:06He threw up.
24:08Poor Brandon.
24:09Yeah.
24:09Oh, my God.
24:10Shout out to Brandon.
24:10And, Sarah,
24:11you're a bit of an adrenaline junkie,
24:12they tell us.
24:13Would you be up for that?
24:14I think that might be
24:15a bit too far,
24:16even for me.
24:17Yeah, yeah.
24:17It's a funny sensation,
24:19Barney, isn't it?
24:19Yeah.
24:20When you're going upside down.
24:21Have you done it?
24:21Yeah.
24:22Have you?
24:22When did you do that?
24:23In a hurricane.
24:24Yeah.
24:24What?
24:25I know.
24:25It was amazing,
24:26but it is odd.
24:28Yeah.
24:28Cool.
24:29It's odd.
24:29I learn more and more
24:30about you every day.
24:31Take it from me.
24:31And I love it.
24:32No, truly, truly, truly.
24:34Barney, you ended your trip
24:36at the Great Barrier Reef.
24:37Tell us what that was like.
24:38Yeah, the Great Barrier Reef,
24:39it's a bucket list destination,
24:40one of the natural wonders
24:41of the world,
24:42somewhere that we always
24:43wanted to go and explore.
24:44And I love marine life,
24:46and to be able to see it
24:47like that was just,
24:47it was crazy.
24:48Yeah, stunning.
24:49Did you get Bradley
24:51scuba dive in there?
24:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:53But we had to wear
24:53those stinger suits
24:54because it's the season
24:54where you got the jellyfish.
24:56Did they get him?
24:57No.
24:58OK, phew.
25:00That would have been too much.
25:01Yeah.
25:02Tom, of course,
25:02spent a lot of time in Oz
25:03filming Mad Max.
25:04Yeah.
25:05What was that like?
25:06Well, my first week
25:08I was getting dragged
25:08by a motorbike
25:09and they said,
25:11oh, they're going to give you
25:11a bit of protection.
25:12I went, oh, OK, great.
25:13And I went over
25:14and it was a piece of plastic
25:15about this size
25:16and it was actually
25:17to protect the costume
25:18rather than me.
25:20But you made it back here.
25:22Made it back.
25:22Which we're delighted about.
25:23Well, Barney,
25:24now you also start
25:25as nurse Cam in Casualty.
25:26Last week,
25:27big storyline started
25:28and you're really excited
25:29about this one.
25:30Yeah.
25:30No, this is
25:31Lethal Legacy
25:32is the name of this box set.
25:33It's a 12-episode box set
25:34and it's a great storyline
25:37for Casualty.
25:38It focuses around
25:39the hospital
25:40and being overrun
25:42and corridor patients.
25:43This is where Cam's
25:44storyline kind of
25:45works in there.
25:46It's about the corridor patients
25:47and working the corridors
25:48because, you know,
25:49the NHS,
25:50we all owe the NHS
25:51and it does a terrific job
25:52but sometimes it can be overrun
25:54and that's the storyline
25:55we're trying to tell here.
25:58It's been brilliant
25:59and it's always fulfilling
26:00and great to work on Casualty.
26:02And, yeah,
26:03they're working
26:03with a small,
26:04great actor,
26:05phenomenal actor,
26:06spent a lot of time with him
26:07and it's just lovely
26:09to be able to be a part
26:13of storytelling
26:14for the NHS
26:15and highlighting the issues
26:17and raising awareness.
26:18Yeah, really important.
26:18And that's the thing,
26:19you're right,
26:20you know, with Casualty,
26:21it feels like it's been on
26:22forever, doesn't it?
26:24But it has tackled
26:25some really serious
26:26and important issues,
26:27as you say,
26:27and you've got an amazing
26:29storyline coming up,
26:30haven't you?
26:30Yes, yeah.
26:31It's about Cam
26:33and his struggles
26:34to kind of make ends meet
26:37with the corridor patients
26:38and also juggle his own
26:39personal life
26:40and his relationship
26:41with his girlfriend Indy.
26:42Who's a paramedic.
26:43Who's a paramedic in the show.
26:45Yeah, yeah, yeah.
26:45And it's a lot of fun.
26:47It's sad at times.
26:49It's happy at times.
26:50But, yeah,
26:51it's tune in.
26:52Tune in.
26:53It's worth watching.
26:53I can't say too much.
26:55But, yeah, coming out.
26:56We love doing this actors,
26:57don't we?
26:57Can never say too much.
26:58But it is a big year
26:59for the show.
27:00You guys are up
27:00for a BAFTA next week,
27:01which is great.
27:02Celebrating the 40th anniversary.
27:04Any big plans in store?
27:07Again, I can't say too much
27:08about the 40th.
27:09It's one of those ones.
27:11But we've made
27:12a phenomenal few episodes
27:14about around the 40th.
27:16And, yeah, yeah.
27:17Very exciting times.
27:18Very exciting times for casualty.
27:20And it's great
27:20for a show to last 40 years
27:21and to be out 40 years in.
27:24It's well deserved, actually.
27:24And to be reinventing.
27:25This is the thing
27:26I love about casualty
27:27is that it's constantly
27:27reinventing itself
27:28and it's constantly
27:29telling new stories
27:30and up-to-date stories.
27:31And it's about the lives
27:32and does a patient
27:34live or die?
27:35How does it affect
27:35the characters in the hospital?
27:36And how does it affect
27:37these medical staff?
27:39So, yeah.
27:39It's nice for us
27:41to be recognised
27:41at the pafters.
27:43And casualty continues
27:44tomorrow night
27:45at 8.45 on BBC One.
27:47And the new series
27:48of Breaking Dad,
27:49Paul Bradley,

27:51on ITV One.
27:53Now, of course,
27:54we have to mention
27:55Strictly,
27:56because you and Vito,
27:58well, were stuffed
27:58on wonders.
28:00We were saying earlier,
28:01we loved watching you.
28:03All the routines.
28:05Highly routine.
28:06Movie week, popular,
28:07very good.
28:07Yeah, Madonna.
28:08But you and Vito,
28:09are still very much in touch.
28:10Oh, my God.
28:11Yeah, I mean...
28:11Because if you come in
28:11to this, to the play...
28:13Well, the only thing is,
28:13Trilly, because he calls me Trilly,
28:15Trilly, you have to talk
28:16when I come very slow
28:17because you talk so fast anyway,
28:19I can never understand
28:19nothing you say,
28:20so when I come,
28:21I please ask everybody,
28:22speak very slow
28:23and always face out
28:24because I can,
28:25when they're mumbling
28:26and turning,
28:26I can nothing I can hear.
28:28So, yeah.
28:29We'll do that.
28:30We'll do that for them.
28:31Instead of 90 minutes,
28:32everybody's dream,
28:33it's all the way,
28:34all the way through,
28:34it's 90 minutes,
28:35no interval,
28:36it'll probably be
28:37two, three hours that night.
28:38Yeah, that night, yeah.
28:39Brilliant.
28:40For Vito.
28:40There we go.
