00:11Hello and welcome to your Friday One Show live on BBC One and I play with Lauren Laverne and
00:16Angelica Bell. Now there is a massive buzz of excitement in the studio because very soon
00:22we're going to be joined by Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt and
00:28Simone Ashley which can mean only one thing, the 20 year wait is over. Tonight we are celebrating
00:35The Devil Wears Prada 2. Yes we are. In their only TV interview they'll be telling us all about
00:40reuniting for their fierce and funny sequel, once again set in the cutthroat world of high fashion
00:46as ruthless boss Miranda Priestly fights to keep her glossy magazine afloat. Oh it's so good, we're
00:52going to be talking about formidable characters, unforgettable one-liners and filming in New York
00:56and Milan. And that's not the only iconic film we're celebrating tonight because believe
01:01it or not, it's been 50 years since the musical comedy Bugsy Malone hit the big screen. Yes the
01:07cult British classic featured everybody from Jodie Foster to West End legend Bonnie Langford,
01:12there she is. Later on she'll be finding out how Bugsy continues to inspire a new generation
01:17of young performers. And we love hearing from you so if you're a fan of Bugsy Malone or if
01:22you have a question for The Devil Wears Prada 2 stars do get in touch on WhatsApp it's 033-0123
01:27-1700
01:28socials or email. But before we talk to our chicest sofa ever about getting the gang back
01:33together we are taking a step back in time to North East New York and the very first Devil
01:38Wears Prada. We've been finding out why their iconic characters and the very stylish world
01:43they live in made their mark on millions around the world. The Devil Wears Prada arrived in 2006
01:50and certainly grabbed attention. She's on her way, tell everyone. Aspiring journalist Andy Sachs,
01:56that's Anne Hathaway, becomes assistant to demanding fashion editor Miranda Priestley,
02:01that's Meryl Streep, forcing her to transform her appearance and her lifestyle to survive the world of haute
02:08couture and that's high fashion. The fashion was incredible, the soundtrack was so good.
02:15I started to fall in love with fashion watching that film.
02:17That's something for everyone. Yeah. Yeah, a bit of hate and a bit of love.
02:20I think there's quite a lot of humanity in it and an incredible cast.
02:23You have no style or sense of fashion. Meryl Streep was interesting because she came over as so in control.
02:30I think that depends on what you're... I don't know. That wasn't a question.
02:36She has so much conviction and she is so fierce and fabulous.
02:39She's the icon. She's the one who represents everything that it's about.
02:47Andy's character resonated with me because she was kind of an underdog.
02:51I think it was funny that they casted like the most beautiful woman ever to play like this,
02:55like shabby, like doesn't know anything about the world.
02:58And even though fashion's not for her, she still slays it.
03:01Yeah, I'm hearing this and I want to hear this.
03:04Emily Blunt, there's so many quotable lines from her.
03:06I love my job. I love my job.
03:08She came over as initially as a very strong boss, but actually was terribly vulnerable as well.
03:14She was so vulnerable.
03:15I don't know what you expect me to do.
03:17Stanley Tucci definitely stood out for me.
03:19These are all sample sizes, two and four.
03:21He's a kind of the coach, the person who really helped Andy develop.
03:24And this for you...
03:25We all want an idol, don't we? We all want a makeover scene.
03:28Okay, now Chanel, you're in desperate need of Chanel.
03:31It gets everyone excited about fashion.
03:33I think it was really pivotal in my way of dressing and kind of coming into myself.
03:38It's a tough call.
03:40They're so different.
03:45I see. You think this has nothing to do with you.
03:49You go to your closet and you select, I don't know, that lumpy blue sweater.
03:55Miranda's monologue.
03:56I think that scene revolutionized how important fashion is.
03:59It's sort of comical how you think that you've made a choice that exempts you from the fashion industry,
04:04when in fact you're wearing a sweater that was selected for you by the people in this room.
04:11I'm hoping in the new film that we have all the characters back.
04:16The wardrobe in the first film was sensational.
04:19I'm so interested to see how they showcased the 2020s.
04:23That's all.
04:26That's all. Such a great film.
04:28I had to watch the first one before the sequel, just as a little double whammy.
04:31Oh, I mean, I have been watching it nonstop since the first one came out.
04:34So it's good timing that.
04:36This has really got us in the mood.
04:38So why don't we bring out those very familiar faces?
04:41Please welcome the stars of The Devil Wears Prada 2.
04:45Stanley Tucci, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt and Simone Ashley.
04:54APPLAUSE
05:00Hello!
05:08We've got to do all the showbiz stuff.
05:12So welcome.
05:13Can I get one too? I feel like it's hanging back.
05:15What a dream!
05:16Go back, go back, go back, go back, go back.
05:17Go back, go back, go back, go back.
05:19Oh my goodness.
05:20Everybody, please take a seat.
05:21Be seated.
05:22It's wonderful to have you all here.
05:24I mean, what a sofa.
05:26Thrilling.
05:26And what a week it's been for you guys.
05:28It's true, it is nice, isn't it?
05:29It's lovely, isn't it?
05:30Verdant.
05:31Yes.
05:31So it's been busy.
05:32Guys, you've been attending the London premiere.
05:35Simone, Emily, Stanley, love to see you back on the sofa.
05:39And Anne and Meryl, welcome to your first one show.
05:43We're delighted to have you.
05:44Meryl, we've just been watching that beautiful film
05:46about the impact that the first Devil Wears Prada
05:49had on people who loved it.
05:51You know, that young contributor there.
05:52So it helped them find themselves
05:54and just step into who they wanted to be.
05:57How does it feel hearing those stories to you?
06:00Annie and I have been around the world.
06:02We've been to Mexico City, Tokyo, Seoul, Shanghai,
06:06here, and even L.A. and New York, right?
06:11Yeah.
06:11From the place else?
06:12Don't ask.
06:13Who knows?
06:15But the feeling, the anticipation, the affection.
06:20For this film, I don't, I don't, I wasn't prepared for that, honestly.
06:26Really?
06:26I really wasn't.
06:27I wasn't prepared for it when we first started shooting.
06:30I'm not online.
06:31I'm like a dinosaur.
06:33But to feel that anticipation means that it meant so much to so many people.
06:38And so many of the young journalists said to us that it made them want to get into journalism,
06:46wanted to, made them want to find their way.
06:49And it means so much, yeah.
06:52It's a little bit of magic.
06:54Well, since the first Devil Wears Prada, fast forward 20 years,
06:57and Anne's character, Andy, is having to prove herself all over again to her former boss,
07:02the indomitable editor-in-chief, Miranda Priestley.
07:05But this time, the stakes have never been higher as she tries to save the magazine from going under.
07:10Let's take a look.
07:12So I used to have your job.
07:16You are here to help us through our current scandal.
07:20Click, click, click, click, everywhere.
07:22But I did not hire you, and all I need to do is bide my time until you fail.
07:26Why don't you take the train, dude?
07:30I'm going to make something of this job.
07:32You could write a book.
07:34The definitive Miranda Priestley expose.
07:36May the bridges I burn light my way.
07:41Wait, wait.
07:42I hope that's not what you're wearing to the dinner.
07:44That's all.
07:50We've had a sneak preview.
07:51It is so good, I cannot even put it into words.
07:54So, Anne, Andy's back at runway, but she herself is in a very different place these days, isn't she?
08:00She is.
08:01She is.
08:01You know, the last time we saw Andy, she threw her phone in the fountain and set off to make
08:07her way in the world,
08:10according to what she believed and what she valued, what her scruples were.
08:14And she did it.
08:15She did it.
08:16She went out there.
08:16She became a journalist.
08:17She's chased stories for years and years.
08:19And she's actually now even an award-winning journalist.
08:22But she found out that the industry that she loved so much and that was so central to the idea
08:29of her dreams and where she was going,
08:31it's not the same industry.
08:33Like, everything in the world, like fashion, like, I mean, anything you want to name.
08:37It's just been impacted by this digital revolution that we're all living through.
08:42And so suddenly this place that she didn't really want to work 20 years ago seems like an amazing opportunity,
08:48a place where she can actually get in on the action and maybe make a difference in the world,
08:53in her life, in the lives of her friends who are writers who can't find work.
08:56So, I mean, that makes her consider going to work for Miranda again.
09:02And Meryl, in the first film, you really put your own mark on Miranda's character,
09:06whether it's the voice, the mannerisms, the hair.
09:09I mean, how much fun was it just bringing the character back?
09:12I just, when we're standing backstage, I'm looking at that.
09:16I thought I was so old.
09:18What?
09:18Yeah.
09:19I mean, I was.
09:20I was 56.
09:21But I thought, you know, 20 years later, why?
09:25I can't believe that I've done this.
09:27Come back.
09:28And, yeah.
09:32And dressed up in these clothes, which is, it's not like me.
09:40In the past 20 years.
09:42It was great to revisit this character.
09:46But it was also a different character because of the uncertainty in the world that she finds herself in.
09:54And I liked seeing her just kind of having to surf a new reality and find her balance and collaborate
10:02with people.
10:04Cooperate with people.
10:06Favorite words.
10:07Recognize people.
10:08Yes, yes.
10:08You know.
10:09I appreciate people.
10:10There were some touching moments.
10:11Well, this brings us to your character, Stanley.
10:13Nigel, he's kind of the constant beating heart of Runway Magazine, isn't he?
10:18I know that filming in New York this time around was so different because, you know, the film has 20
10:23years' worth of fans, this franchise.
10:25Yeah, it was very interesting.
10:27I don't think any of us expected the fervour with which people greeted our filming.
10:37That's all I'll say.
10:38It was fascinating to be on the streets of New York.
10:43And we just didn't know.
10:45We knew that the movie was loved, but we didn't know it was that loved.
10:49And it really was great to feel that from audience members and from the public.
10:57And, yeah, so it's been a great honour, really, to come back and play these people again after 20 years,
11:06which I don't think any of us ever thought would happen.
11:09Well, we're so glad you did it.
11:11And, Emily, we want to come to you because both you and Anne were 22 in the original film.
11:17And your character has grown life experience and has become a fashion big hitter.
11:23How different is she?
11:24Just trying to explain that to everyone.
11:26I don't know if she's evolved on a human level.
11:31She's evolved on a sort of financial power level, but she's now this top executive at Dior and wields quite
11:39a lot of clout and some clout over Miranda, which I think she likes very much.
11:45But she's a delicious character and wild and perpetually outraged about, you know, air and about anyone she meets.
11:55And so I just I really love playing her.
11:58But, yeah, she's God help us.
12:00She's powerful now.
12:01Yeah.
12:02And she just says what she thinks.
12:03She really does.
12:04Yeah.
12:04Which I quite like to be like that.
12:06You think all people should be like that?
12:07No.
12:08No.
12:10Not quite freeing on the day.
12:13So, Simone, you play new character Amari.
12:16She's Miranda's latest assistant.
12:19For you as a fan who'd grown up with the first film, what was that first day on set like
12:23for you?
12:24It was so exciting.
12:27We were filming.
12:28I think my first day was a scene in the Elias Clark cafeteria.
12:34And we were filming in this building and we were on 42nd Street.
12:39That's where our base camp was.
12:40And then we came to set and it was thousands and thousands of people just outside who just loved this
12:46movie and were so excited to just get a glimpse.
12:49So it was just really amazing to see people so happy and so excited.
12:55And then, yeah, came in, did my first scene with you and then...
13:00I didn't remember that she was in the scene.
13:05And then I came and reminded you.
13:08Slipping straight into the character.
13:11Yes, baby!
13:13But listen, you're not the only newbie because there are so many famous faces in this movie.
13:19And Lady Gaga, Rory McIlroy.
13:22I particularly loved seeing Colin from Account's Patrick Brammer.
13:26Yeah.
13:27Brilliant.
13:28Isn't he amazing?
13:29What was it like working with him?
13:30Oh, sheer joy.
13:32Sheer joy.
13:33And it was, you know, you can imagine he was cast but we didn't know each other and you kind
13:38of got to start...
13:39On day one, I think we filmed five major scenes together.
13:41Like, it was just, like, right there.
13:43And so you meet someone and you're like, how are we going to do this?
13:46How do you kind of get to know someone that fast?
13:49And we noticed there was a ping pong table that was right there.
13:52And so I kind of was like, do you want to play?
13:54And I think he went, oh, yeah, sure.
13:57And then he goes, oh, you're serious?
13:59I was like, yeah.
14:00So we grabbed a paddle and we started to play.
14:02And we had so much fun right off the bat.
14:05He's really good.
14:06And I have brothers.
14:07I'm not bad.
14:08And we quickly realized we just love to play.
14:11Neither one of us wanted to take the kill shot.
14:13We just wanted to volley.
14:15And so I just say that he's, like, the dream scene partner because he's just...
14:20He listens.
14:20He's quick.
14:22And he's, you know, and he's a writer himself.
14:24So he just knows how to turn a phrase.
14:26And just as a person, total joy bomb.
14:28That show made me...
14:30Oh, I love that show.
14:32I just loved it so much.
14:33His show.
14:34His show.
14:35And when you find out who Colin from Accounts is...
14:37Oh, it's genius.
14:38I screamed.
14:39I screamed.
14:40It was so wonderful.
14:42Brilliant.
14:43Now, Meryl, there are some amazing...
14:44I love Italy.
14:45So when you were in Milan, oh, my gosh, I was like, this is beautiful.
14:48And I hear that you loved it, even though you're not a fashionista, you say.
14:52I'm not.
14:53I'm a tragicista.
14:55I don't have a good, you know, thing.
14:59No.
14:59And I am...
15:02I did love...
15:04I mean, I love...
15:05I majored in costume design in college, and I am interested in how what people wear expresses
15:15something about them.
15:17And what we put on...
15:19Well, not we, because that's decided by the people lurking in the sides of the set.
15:27But what normal people put on in their lives expresses something about themselves, what they
15:33want to hide, what they want to show, what they want to flaunt, what they want to, you
15:38know, keep quiet.
15:39And I love that about clothing.
15:41And I've always been a pain in the...
15:45Booty.
15:46Booty for costume designers, because I have very specific ideas about that and how things
15:54are eloquent.
15:55And in Milan, I felt everyone was...
15:59I mean, you've been there.
16:01It's...
16:01People are so elegant.
16:03Yeah.
16:03Didn't you see?
16:03People on the street.
16:05Yeah.
16:06And I felt bad when I came back to New York, because everybody's in sweats and...
16:10They're in black.
16:11And I thought, in Milan, there's...
16:14There's Elan.
16:16There's some sort of celebration of human beings and what they put on their bodies.
16:21But Milan is so beautiful.
16:23It really comes across as such a feast for the eyes.
16:26Oh, it's incredible.
16:26I mean, so much to talk about with this movie.
16:28But Emily and Stanley, I loved seeing your scenes together, particularly now that you are
16:32family, the two of you.
16:34Well, do you know that they almost separated us like naughty kids?
16:38Yeah.
16:39Because we only had a few together.
16:40And we were livid about it, but also they would never have been able to cut scenes together
16:45because I can't work with them now.
16:46I know I'm too old.
16:47No, no.
16:47We'd still be shooting the film.
16:48Yeah.
16:50It was...
16:51But...
16:52But it was a real joy to be able to work even just for a few days.
16:57It was...
16:57With your lovely sister-in-law.
16:59With my lovely sister-in-law.
17:01Did you say it to camera?
17:02Yeah.
17:05Emily's going to go, and can you clip that up as well?
17:08Get ahead for the kind of Christmas round, Robin.
17:11Exactly.
17:11We all need to get...
17:12You are hosting, right?
17:13Because I'm not hosting.
17:14No, no, I'm not hosting.
17:15Okay.
17:16Mum, you're up.
17:19Well, we might come back to your mum's cooking later.
17:21Now, you can watch The Devil Wears Prada 2 in cinemas from next Friday, the 1st of May.
17:26It's fantastic to have you all here.
17:28We're going to be talking more to you shortly.
17:30Yes.
17:30But next, we're celebrating a much-loved British film, which five decades ago brought music
17:35and comedy to the big screen and earned a young Jodie Foster of AFTER.
17:39And who better to help us tell the story than one of the stars from the film itself,
17:43the West End legend Bonnie Langford.
18:13It's a cult British classic.
18:15rather over-confident stage performer.
18:18It was my very first film role.
18:30Alan Parker wrote and directed Bugsy Malone inspired by a story he made up to entertain his kids.
18:36Half a century on, and Alan's children, Alex and Lucy, still remember those early days.
18:42What are your memories of Bugsy Malone being created?
18:47I don't remember saying it, but I did say, why not make children the grown-ups in the film?
18:52Because there was a lot of seminal films at the time, like The Godfather and The Sting.
18:57He was inspired like that.
18:58But didn't it first appear in his mind when you were travelling?
19:01He tested the story out on us, and we used to lie in the back of the car.
19:05We had a duvet on the back, and we'd be going down the M1, and he would tell us the
19:10stories then.
19:11Did it end up to be the same as Bugsy?
19:13Yeah, yeah. He actually wrote his original soundtrack, but that got changed, and so we used to sing the songs.
19:19And Lucy even performed in the musical version at school.
19:22We had the original costumes from Bugsy Malone, and we all wore them in our school productions.
19:29The way it works so well, I think, as a school play, because there's a role for everybody.
19:34Before he became known for presenting Blue Peter, Mark Curry trod the boards as an actor, and still does.
19:40At 14, he played Oscar De Velt, the producer...
19:43Great face, yeah. Could do a lot with that face.
19:46...who managed the theatre where I was the star of the show.
19:48I remember being so thrilled that you were in this scene, because we go back a long way.
19:54We do. We go back to, like, late 60s, because we were doing Junior Showtime on telly.
19:58Yeah, yeah.
19:58And then suddenly, it was quite incredible that we were both in the same scene in that film.
20:04Yeah.
20:04The cast featured rising talent from both the UK and America, but it was a young Jodie Foster who stole
20:10the show, delivering a breakout performance that earned her a BAFTA.
20:14My name is Tallulah.
20:16Did you meet Jodie Foster?
20:17My first day. Arrived at Pinewood, and immediately was whisked off to make-up to get my hair cut.
20:22But in the make-up chair, next to where I was going to have my hair cut, was Jodie Foster.
20:27And then that was the only day that I saw Pinewood Studio.
20:30Did you get to do any splurge?
20:32At the very end.
20:33And it was just, like, one take, throw the pies, and that was it.
20:37Bugsy the Musical debuted in the West End in 1983.
20:40Since then, schools across the UK have brought it to life.
20:44Today, Crestwood Community School in Eastleigh is in final rehearsals.
20:48What made you choose Bugsy Malone?
20:49I was like, what is a production that screams to all ages, gives everyone their chance to shine?
20:55And I was like, there's got to be Bugsy Malone.
20:57How are rehearsals going?
20:58From September, we have rehearsed twice a week, and they've done so well.
21:02Before rehearsals wrap, I'm catching up with some of the cast.
21:06I play Bugsy Malone.
21:07Give us some of your lines.
21:08Roxy Robinson?
21:10He's been egged out.
21:11I play the role of Blousey Brown.
21:13Is this your first musical?
21:16Yes, it is.
21:17But I'm really looking forward to it.
21:19Maya is following in my footsteps, playing the role of Lena Morelli.
21:23I'm so excited.
21:24I mean, like, being able to sing and work with tons of people.
21:28I just love singing and acting on stage.
21:30All I can do is wish you the best of luck.
21:32I had an absolutely fantastic time doing this film, and I'm so glad that you're getting to keep it alive.
21:39Thank you so much.
21:40Opening night is tomorrow, but I'm getting a sneak preview.
21:48Anybody who is, anybody who's to run through that door.
22:00It was such a treat.
22:02And it's so wonderful to think that Bugsy Malone is still so loved by children and adults alike.
22:08Here's to another 50 years.
22:12Thank you, Bonnie.
22:13Still going strong, and I'm not surprised.
22:15So good to see.
22:16And I love that soundtrack, the Paul Williams album.
22:19I still want to be in that film.
22:20Would you like to get pied?
22:21I've been gunged enough times on telly, so bring it on.
22:26Children's telly.
22:29Which I grew up watching.
22:30Which I grew up watching.
22:31Just the line of being gunged enough time on telly.
22:34It's so good.
22:37Right, Emily and Meryl, talking of musical films, you both are reunited.
22:41In 2014, Into the Woods.
22:44What was it like, getting back together?
22:45I hear that the bonding experience was brilliant.
22:49Well, yeah.
22:51It was brilliant for me.
22:54And then we did Mary Poppins Returns as well.
22:57Yes.
22:57I've been stalking her.
23:00But Emily saved my life, actually.
23:03On Into the Woods.
23:04You did.
23:04On Into the Woods.
23:05She was playing the witch, and she launched herself up on top of a table.
23:08First day of rehearsal, I think, or something.
23:11She was overacting.
23:12Catch her.
23:12As per usual.
23:13As per usual.
23:15And she leapt up on a desk and fell.
23:18It wasn't a desk.
23:19It was a thing on sawhorses, you know.
23:24And it just went, I went, threw me off.
23:28Emily.
23:29They did catch her.
23:30Pregnant.
23:31Pregnant.
23:31James Corden did nothing.
23:34Stood there.
23:35He went, stood there, went, oh.
23:37Yeah, and Emily caught me and saved my life and the movie.
23:44And you're here to tell the tale.
23:45Yeah.
23:46I mean, all fantastic musical films that we've been talking about.
23:50Anne, you won an Oscar for Les Miserables.
23:52I know it's Meryl's favourite, one of her favourite roles of yours.
23:55Right.
23:56Another musical film of yours is about to launch this weekend.
24:00Mother Mary.
24:00But it's not just singing, dancing too.
24:03Was it physically demanding to do both?
24:05A bit.
24:06A bit.
24:07It was, I mean, for me, maybe somebody else would have found it, you know, really, really easy.
24:11But, no, it was years of preparation to kind of get all the pieces in line.
24:16And I was just, I just honestly, my co-star in this, Michaela Cole, just completely blew my mind.
24:23She is, I mean, I know it's an overused word, but she really is a genius.
24:28Yeah.
24:28And so, you know, so all the singing and the dancing and everything was great, but just getting to be
24:32in scenes with her, that was just mind-blowing.
24:34Oh, she's fabulous.
24:35Yeah.
24:36Now, Simone, we've loved your acting since Bridgerton, huge fans of yours, but I know that you've got a new
24:41project coming up, which is actually music-related.
24:43What's happening?
24:44Yeah, yeah, I just released my first EP two weeks ago.
24:48Did you?
24:50Yeah, yeah.
24:51Bloody hell.
24:52Sorry, I shouldn't have heard of that.
24:55They actually said, keep it clean.
24:57We'll just sing over it.
25:01Yeah, it's called Songs I Wrote in New York, and I actually wrote it whilst we were filming the movie.
25:07I'd rap and then go to the studio in the evenings in Brooklyn, and I've been working with my producer,
25:14Fraser T. Smith, who's a dear friend of mine, for like the past three years.
25:17And, yeah, when I moved to New York, I was just, it was kind of like a catalyst into writing
25:21it, so.
25:22Fabulous.
25:22Well, a little apology for any fruity language that you might have put in that.
25:26I think this clip is clean one.
25:27Let's have a listen to free.
25:29I don't think it feels so free of the time.
25:36I don't think it feels so free of the time.
25:46So good.
25:48Wow.
25:48I'm getting many Rickerton vibes from it.
25:50Yeah, good news.
25:52Well, actually, Annie helped me a lot on set.
25:55Yeah, I'd talk to you about lyrics and be like, does this sound cool?
25:57Or I play you stuff sometimes.
25:59So, yeah, it was amazing.
26:01It was an experience I loved sharing with everyone.
26:03Fabulous.
26:04Now, Stanley, we know that your passion is also food, a huge passion of yours.
26:08And the second series of Tucci in Italy is airing next month.
26:12Can you give us a flavour of what's in store?
26:14I wish I could remember where I went.
26:17And I promise you, it is on the Italian peninsula.
26:22And it is broken down region by region once again.
26:26There are five more regions.
26:27We did ten last year or so.
26:31And, yeah, so basically it follows the same, you know, trajectory.
26:36But the beauty of it is and the joy of it is that each region is so distinctly different.
26:43And those stories, therefore, are completely different in each one.
26:47So it was really fun.
26:50But I want to go to Italy now without a camera.
26:53I would like to just go and eat.
26:55What's the first place you went to?
26:57The first place we did, if I'm not mistaken, was Rome.
27:03And that was six, seven years ago when we did the first iteration of the series.
27:09And then I've gone to COVID.
27:12The allure of travel.
27:13I was very lucky to have a captive audience.
27:16But we, yes, and I've been through every region and some of them twice.
27:23Well, we love the first series and I've started making pasta because of it.
27:27I know, you told me.
27:28From scratch?
27:28From scratch.
27:29That's impressive.
27:30That's impressive.
27:31But we need to talk about roast potatoes, Emily.
27:33Oh.
27:33Your mother's recipe.
27:34What's going on?
27:35Even Jennifer Garner's making them.
27:37Here's the thing.
27:38When I told the amazing Ina Garten about these roast potatoes,
27:42Americans have now deemed them Emily's roast potatoes.
27:46To any Brit, they're like, yeah, like every Sunday.
27:51And I've also been criminalised for using canola oil.
27:55They're like, no, no, duck fat.
27:57Not everyone has access to duck fat.
27:59But I can't take credit for these roast potatoes.
28:01They are, as you guys know, a national treasure.
28:05But they are incredible.
28:06I mean, the first time her sister made them, we were first dating and I didn't know what
28:11she was doing.
28:11She said, do you want roast potatoes?
28:13And I thought, all right.
28:14And I thought she was going to just stick them in the oven.
28:16And she went through this whole rigmarole with goose fat, actually.
28:21She used goose fat.
28:22And they were incredible.
28:25That's how you get the man.
28:26That's it.
28:27Well, we're coming to your mum's for dinner, so sort out.
28:30We'll sort the dates out.
28:31Yes.
28:32Oh, that's great.
28:32We won't be there.
28:38Good luck sourcing duck fat in L.A.
28:40Even the duck should be there.
28:42That's all we've got time for tonight.
28:43Thanks so much to our guests, including Stanley.
28:47We've got a great line-up, including Dame Maureen Lippman, Selenny Henry, Eddie Marsan,
28:52Spice Girl, Melanie C, and Chris McCausland.
28:54Have a great weekend.
28:56Bye-bye.
28:56See you.
28:58Bye-bye.
28:59Bye-bye.
29:00Bye-bye.
29:01Bye-bye.
29:01Bye-bye.
29:02Bye-bye.
29:02Bye-bye.
29:02Bye-bye.
29:03Bye-bye.
29:04Bye-bye.
