Transcript
00:18Oh, we're back here. That's amazing.
00:20This is my first time, right?
00:22This is your first time?
00:23Yes.
00:24I believe Danny Dyer's got a new film coming out.
00:26Me and my mum walked out. We didn't like it. It was boring.
00:30He's here.
00:30He's downstairs, darling.
00:32Why is he not here?
00:33Was he getting make-up in?
00:34He's getting his make-up.
00:35He's getting perfume on.
00:37Get perfume on.
00:38Smell nice for me.
00:39Smell nice for you, yeah.
00:41You had too much shooting.
00:42Too much shooting.
00:43And too much lights.
00:44And too much graphic violence.
00:46I'm going...
00:46Not on camera, but...
00:49Oh, yeah, I can't see that.
00:51What are you going to do to him, Jade?
00:59There he is.
01:00Well, well.
01:01Hello.
01:02Hello.
01:04Hi there, people.
01:05I kind of recognise you all from the telly.
01:07Hello.
01:08Hello, Sir Lenny Henry.
01:09Just relax and come down.
01:11Flex.
01:12Yes.
01:15I will just try to relax.
01:22Okay, Ali, would you like to introduce us?
01:27Hello and welcome to the assembly.
01:31Our collective of autistic neurodivergent and learning disabled interviewers.
01:39No subject is out of bounds.
01:43No question is off the table.
01:47And all might happen.
01:50Please tell us who you are.
01:52My name is Nicola Sturgeon.
01:54H.
01:54Lenny Henry.
01:55Rylan.
01:56Anna Maxwell-Martin.
01:57Stephen Fry.
01:58I'm Thomas Love.
02:00That was the easy part.
02:03And we're going to start with a question from Jim.
02:06Hi, Jim.
02:07Is it bang out of order to be beat to God?
02:10Are you in trouble with him?
02:11Let me know now, Stephen.
02:14Please.
02:15Do we mean to God?
02:16I would be if there were a God, obviously.
02:18And if that God was extremely petty-minded and extremely mean and extremely stupid,
02:26rather than being offended by, you know, genocide, child abuse, murder, cruelty,
02:32he can't take a few crisp remarks about him, then that wouldn't be much of a God, would
02:37it, frankly, Jim?
02:39No.
02:40I would say to God, how dare you?
02:41How dare you create a world in which there is unearned misery?
02:46Children with bone cancer?
02:47Yeah.
02:48Why?
02:49You could have created a world in which there was no such thing.
02:51Yeah.
02:52You are all-powerful.
02:53You've created a world in which children suffer from bone cancer.
02:57You've created life forms whose cycle is to go into the eye of a child in Africa and
03:02lay eggs and make that child lose its sight in pain.
03:06And, again, there was no need for such a thing.
03:09If you were a good and kind God, you could have made a world in which there was none of
03:13this terrible unearned misery.
03:17Yeah.
03:18Hey, Steve.
03:21Yes, yeah.
03:22Jack.
03:25Hello.
03:26Hi, Jack.
03:27It's quite widely known that you've had a lot of, let's say, alterations.
03:33Do you think you're setting really unrealistic beauty standards?
03:36Do you know what?
03:37It's funny because I read an article the other day.
03:40Allegedly, I've had a nose job.
03:42I've had, obviously, my teeth done.
03:44I've had a lift.
03:46I've had nothing done to my face apart from Botox and years ago fillers.
03:51Not the teeth?
03:52Oh, yeah, definitely the teeth.
03:53Not the teeth.
03:54Come on.
03:54Shiny as they are.
03:55The teeth have definitely been done.
03:57Have we seen you in the dark?
03:58Yeah, absolutely.
04:00These glow in the dark.
04:01They glow in the dark?
04:02No, they don't.
04:03I'm joking.
04:05That's what you're doing in the dark.
04:07Well, then they might do.
04:07I don't know when I'm asleep.
04:10Thank you so much.
04:13Doulis, you're up.
04:15Hello, hello, hello.
04:16Nice to meet you.
04:18Are you pro-choice or pro-life?
04:20And do you think men should have a say in the matter?
04:24I am so sorry for my ignorance.
04:26I don't really understand what pro-choice and pro-life means.
04:28When it comes to abortion.
04:30Oh, okay, sorry.
04:31Do I think men should have a say?
04:35Er, I...
04:36No, it should...
04:37I think it should be all down to the woman, to be quite honest with you.
04:42This is a really tough question, this, because I feel like everyone's situation is very different.
04:48But I think overall, majority-wise, like, yeah, the woman should have a say.
04:54Yeah.
04:55Kind of bottom line, really, innit?
04:58It's borderline got nothing to do with the man.
05:02Bit of a sticky subject, really, innit?
05:03But I think 9.5 times out of 10, the woman should have 100% say.
05:12It's a woman vibe.
05:13I think the woman should make the decision.
05:15Yeah.
05:16We are going to come to Harry.
05:18Go on, Harry.
05:19Hi, Harry.
05:19Hi, Harry.
05:22Good morning, Nicola Sturgeon.
05:23How are you?
05:24Good morning, Harry. I'm good, thank you.
05:25I've got a question for you.
05:26When I was eight, I moved from one area of London to another one.
05:31It was a big change, and I found it very difficult, overwhelming and stressful.
05:37Is leaving politics going to be very hard for you?
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42I think it is.
05:46I've been in politics since I was 16, and I've been in Parliament since I was 29, so 27 years.
05:55Wow.
05:56That is a long, long time.
05:57I think it's going to take me a little while to get used to not being a politician.
06:02Because you're, like, used to, like, doing what you do, and when it comes to, like, now you think...
06:07Yeah.
06:07Because it's scary.
06:08You know, change is scary.
06:10And it's like, oh, my God.
06:13What am I going to do now?
06:15And am I going to be okay?
06:16And I've got a second question for you.
06:19Your face is on toilet paper.
06:25It is 25% off at the moment.
06:30Do you find that very funny, or do you find it very offensive?
06:33I find it funny.
06:35You can find my face in all sorts of things.
06:39Toilet paper, I wasn't aware.
06:41But 20% off, I mean, who can refuse a deal like that?
06:45So, the big question for you, Harry, because you can tell me it's 20% off.
06:49Have you bought it?
06:51Oh!
06:55Well...
06:55Well, I think I might, you never know.
06:59I was on a plane.
07:01It was last year, actually, early last year.
07:03I was away for a weekend with a friend.
07:04And there was a woman sitting across the aisle from me on the plane.
07:08And she'd said she was, like, you know, she was a supporter of me and everything.
07:12But as we were chatting on the plane, she said that she had a pillow with my face on it.
07:18Oh!
07:19It was a bit kind of weird, but not as weird as toilet paper.
07:23No, no, no, no, no, no.
07:24Not that much.
07:25Not that weird.
07:27Shit!
07:31Thank you very much for your time.
07:33The good thing you guys write is that you're making me cry, but you're also making me laugh quite a
07:38lot.
07:40I love the cat, by the way.
07:41Oh, thank you very much.
07:42Very cool.
07:43Very good to talk to you.
07:44I do.
07:45OK.
07:46Sean.
07:48Would you love to adopt children or have children on your own, just like Elton John?
07:58Elton John is gay.
08:01What?
08:02I thought that's news to me.
08:03No.
08:06I would love, I'd love to have children.
08:08You would?
08:09Yeah, I'd love to be a dad.
08:10My mum's 74.
08:13And I don't like talking about this.
08:14She was born in 1952.
08:16She was.
08:16I love you so much.
08:20But I don't like talking about this, but there's going to come a point where my mum's not around, potentially,
08:26and I want my mum to know my kids.
08:29Mm-hmm.
08:32I really, I know I can have kids and give them a great life, and I just want my mum
08:39to know my kids.
08:40So, yeah, I feel like, not time's ticking, but I want them to know her.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Yeah.
08:48And now, we're going to hear from Jirio.
08:51Oh, no.
08:52Hello.
08:53Hello.
08:55Do you like nothing?
08:59An arm wrestle?
09:00What, me and you?
09:01Yeah.
09:01Come on, then.
09:02No, I'm warning you.
09:03Yeah.
09:04No, he's going to beat you.
09:06He's going to beat you.
09:07We could set up an arena for you if you need.
09:08See, you knew this.
09:09Look, they was ready to bring the chairs, everything.
09:12He's going to beat you.
09:13He's going to beat you.
09:13He's going to beat you.
09:14Listen, listen, there's one, there's one thing.
09:17Yeah?
09:18There's one thing you need to know about me.
09:19Yeah?
09:20Yeah.
09:20I don't mess about.
09:23Come on, Harrison.
09:25He's strong.
09:27Three, one, two, one.
09:29Let's go!
09:30Let's go!
09:31Let's go!
09:32You're going to use...
09:33Oh!
09:39Thank you, thank you, thank you.
09:41I told you he's stronger.
09:43I've warned you, for God's sake.
09:45Hey, all talk, but no bite!
09:47No bite there.
09:48Oh, well.
09:49He's very strong, Jerry.
09:51Right, listen.
09:52After this, meet me in the car park.
09:57So you haven't even got a question,
09:59you just wanted to embarrass me?
10:00Yes, I'll take it.
10:01Yes!
10:01Wow.
10:11Yeah.
10:12Where are you lot from?
10:13South London, mate.
10:14Tooting.
10:16Tooting?
10:16I like it down there.
10:17I've been down there.
10:18It's changed a lot now.
10:19Has it?
10:20Was it all fields before?
10:21No, it was all rough and ready.
10:23Yeah.
10:24Now it's all high-tech.
10:25Is it all high-tech?
10:25Yeah, if you're into Caffe Nero, that sort of thing, boring.
10:29Shh, we can't talk about Caffe Nero.
10:31We're on the telly.
10:32Joseph!
10:34Me and my mum, um, have a lot of conversations about this.
10:37So, um, do you think that in order to defeat racism, we should abolish race as a concept?
10:45That's a brilliant question.
10:47But you're right, the concept of race is, um, it's a made-up thing, right?
10:52Yes.
10:53You are who you are and you're a human being and you bleed red.
10:56But some people were chosen to be chattels and slaves and treated like cattle and others weren't.
11:06I think that once you remove that, um, from the table, and everybody's a human being, um, you can probably
11:14move on.
11:15So, probably, yes, if you got rid of race, you'd get rid of racism too.
11:19Yeah, of course.
11:20I think.
11:20That's a really good question.
11:22I found out I was black when I was six.
11:24And then after that, it was kind of Afro-Caribbean.
11:28And then it's, now it's black British.
11:30Black British.
11:31And, um, it's, it's a, it's, it's...
11:33Removing an element of your ethnic background.
11:35Yeah, but it's all right to be black.
11:37And it's all right to be black British.
11:39And it's all right to be Afro-Caribbean.
11:42A friend of mine used to say, it's okay to be racy and sexy, but it's not okay to be
11:45racist and sexist.
11:47So, we, we move on and we stand together and stand for each other, is what I think.
11:51I think that's a good head space to be in.
11:53I, I agree.
11:54It was nice to meet you.
11:55It's nice to meet you too.
11:57I wish I had your hair.
12:00Off to you, Ben.
12:02Your suit looks very classy.
12:04Yeah.
12:04Oh, thank you.
12:05This is from the charity shop.
12:07And I got this because I went to a party dressed as Dolly Parton.
12:11Oh, Dolly Parton.
12:13So I wore this.
12:15Okay.
12:17So I've heard.
12:19Beverly in Yorkshire is one of the most haunted places in England.
12:23Have you had any paranormal experiences?
12:27This is such a good question.
12:29It is the most haunted place.
12:32We did live next to the cemetery.
12:35Hmm.
12:35And as a young girl, I used to think I could hear things around our house.
12:40Hmm.
12:40Yeah.
12:41I've never seen it.
12:42I've never seen a ghost.
12:43I think I want to believe in ghosts, though.
12:45Has anyone seen a ghost?
12:46I think I...
12:47Oh!
12:47Have you seen a ghost?
12:48Have you?
12:49What did it look like?
12:51A ghost.
12:52My mum.
12:53You saw your mum?
12:54She's up there, yeah.
12:55Is she?
12:56Yeah.
12:57She's in heaven?
12:58Yeah.
12:59But you saw her again?
13:00I saw her when I was trying to sleep in my bedroom.
13:04I saw her.
13:05Was that comforting?
13:06Yeah.
13:07You see, I love that idea that I've had quite a few people die in my life.
13:12And I love the idea that I'd be able to see them.
13:15Have another little chat with them or...
13:17Like keeping their memories alive.
13:18Exactly.
13:19So I still want to believe in ghosts, yes.
13:21But Beverley is apparently heavily haunted.
13:23And also has the most pubs of any town in the country.
13:26Oh!
13:27Second question.
13:28So I heard if you didn't decide to be an actress, you said you'd be a good paramedic.
13:34Have you ever helped someone in need or study any medical practices?
13:41That's embarrassing because I haven't.
13:43Oh!
13:46Oh!
13:50Embarrassing.
13:50I'd just be a paramedic, guys.
13:53Have you ever done anything to help anyone?
13:55No!
13:58I haven't got a clue.
14:00I haven't got a clue.
14:01I think I said that.
14:03I'm trying to justify now.
14:05I think I'm quite good under pressure.
14:07OK.
14:09I think that's the only reason.
14:12Must be a paramedic.
14:14Yeah.
14:15Must be a paramedic.
14:16Elijah.
14:19Hi.
14:22Thank you for making period products free in Scotland.
14:26Was there much of a backlash?
14:28Yeah, there was.
14:31No offence to the guys in the room, but if you're not a woman and you don't live with periods
14:36and everything,
14:37you don't really understand what it's like.
14:39And there was a sense from a lot of men that we don't get free shaving products or anything like
14:45that.
14:45It's not really the same.
14:47So, yeah, there was a bit of a backlash.
14:49Were you a pad or a tampon person?
14:51I was a tampon.
14:52I'm now a bit old for either, but...
14:54Oh, that's scary.
14:56Yeah.
14:56That's scary.
14:58Yeah.
14:59It's painful.
15:00I just, you know.
15:02Yeah.
15:02I mean, I was quite lucky.
15:03I didn't have the worst kind of period pains.
15:06Kind of average, I suppose.
15:08Some months it was really, really sore.
15:11But, yeah, I think if you don't go through it, you don't understand.
15:16It's not just something you kind of brush off.
15:18It's really every single month you're going through this as a woman.
15:22So, yeah.
15:26Thank you, Elijah.
15:27Well done, Elijah.
15:28Right.
15:29Up next, we have Mikey.
15:31Mikey.
15:32Hi.
15:33Would your next relationship be Brad or Angelina?
15:42Um...
15:44I don't like Brad.
15:46No.
15:46Not a fan of Brad.
15:47You can read into that what you want.
15:53Um...
15:53We're going to come to Gary next.
15:55Gary.
15:55Gary, hello.
15:56Hi.
15:57What were you doing celibate in your 20s when were you rich and good-looking?
16:01Oh, that's so sweet of you.
16:03Still good-looking.
16:04I was celibate in my 20s.
16:06It was a strange thing.
16:071981, when I left university, this new terror pervaded the gay world.
16:14AIDS.
16:14Oh.
16:15Now, I wasn't consciously thinking I'm not going to engage in any sex at all because of
16:21AIDS, but I suspect somewhere along the line I did associate it with danger.
16:28I'm afraid a few of my university friends did die from AIDS over the next five, six, seven
16:33years, and I went to a lot of funerals.
16:37So there was that aspect of it.
16:42It was also, I'd just got out of the habit, and I was so used to being on my own,
16:47and
16:47the idea of having someone else's toothbrush on my bathroom shelf, you know, I just thought,
16:52oh, no.
16:53And I was afraid as well, and I didn't feel attractive.
16:56And in the gay world, you go into the club and instantly everyone looks you up and down
17:00like that and then turns away, and you think, oh.
17:03And I didn't like the music and the dancing, and I just wanted to talk to people.
17:07And I just didn't fit into that world.
17:10Yeah, it is.
17:11Cameron.
17:14Why didn't you like it when your mum called you Lenny?
17:18Well, I was christened Lenworth, but my mum used to call me Len.
17:22My mates called me Lenny.
17:24Because in Dudley they put an E on the end of all, so you be Cammy, you be Jakey.
17:30So I'm Lenny because my friends called me that.
17:32Did your mum ever call you Lenny?
17:33No.
17:34Oh, oh, oh.
17:36In my house, I was called Len.
17:39Yeah.
17:39It was very sharp, clear.
17:41Len!
17:42Len!
17:42That was my name in the house, right?
17:44And then I won a television talent competition.
17:47And then the people showed up at my house to interview me.
17:51And it's the first time I heard my mum call me.
17:53She said, well, Lenny grew up in Dudley.
17:55And I went, what?
17:57She never calls me Lenny.
17:59Lenny was such a naughty boy when he was a child.
18:02I had to beat him.
18:03You know, she was suddenly calling me Lenny.
18:06But it was because she was being posh.
18:08You don't call me Lenny, you call me Len.
18:10Len.
18:10Particularly when you took off one of your shoes to beat me with it.
18:15Thank you for answering my question.
18:17Thank you very much.
18:25Now we're going to come to Thomas Lab.
18:28Here he comes.
18:32There it is.
18:32Hello.
18:33Hello, Rylan Clark.
18:34You all right, mate?
18:35How are you doing?
18:36I'm Thomas Lab.
18:37Hi, so nice to meet you.
18:38So, if you are to interview Celine Dion, can you let me know, question mark, Rylan Clark?
18:45I'm trying at this moment to get a show with Celine Dion.
18:48The Empress and Queen of Pop.
18:51I've got a present for you.
18:52This is Celine Dion's autobiography, My Story, My Dream.
18:56And there's a cute photograph.
18:57That's her husband, Renny and Celine.
18:59Bless him.
19:00And that's her as a child, Celine Marie Claudette Dion.
19:03She's so cute.
19:03Like, I was cute when I was a baby boy.
19:05You can keep that as well.
19:06Can I keep that as well as a kid?
19:07Yeah, just to keep it.
19:08Tom, thank you so much.
19:10It's yours.
19:11It's so nice to meet you.
19:12I'm kissing you like the Pope.
19:14Bless you, my child.
19:18I love Celine Dion.
19:20And now we have some music that we think you're really going to enjoy.
19:24You talk a lot.
19:25I do talk a lot.
19:26Yes, you do.
19:26You talk a lot.
19:28Too much.
19:28Too much.
19:29Maybe, maybe.
19:33There's a man I meet walks up our street.
19:39He's a worker for the council.
19:42Has been for 20 years.
19:45And he takes no lip up nobody.
19:47That one.
19:48Oh, all right.
20:32When I was asking a question, I felt my heart pound out my chest.
20:36It felt like a new me.
20:40I could actually do something that I didn't think I would ever, ever be able to do.
20:45Nice to meet you.
20:47Thank you for that.
20:48I had a good time.
20:49Did you?
20:50I love it.
20:58I wish to see you again.
20:59I hope to see you again, too.
21:06Pretty good, thanks.
21:08Pretty good.
21:18I thought I knew what I was walking into.
21:21And then about five seconds before I went in, my stomach went in the lift.
21:24I was like, what are they going to ask me?
21:27Actually, you can ask me anything you want now.
21:29I think we're all mates.
21:30Set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up, set it up.
21:35Set it up again, set it up again, set it up again, set it up again.
21:39And I'm thinking about hope.
21:41I literally was having an out-of-body experience all the time.
21:45Because it was so authentic and real.
21:48Quite extraordinary experience.
21:49I mean, really remarkable, actually.
21:52I think it did me a lot of good.
21:54Thank you so much.
21:56Honestly.
22:01That's like unbelievable.
22:04What a brilliant group of people.
22:05I felt really privileged.
22:12I'm not bullshitting here.
22:14That was one of the most profoundly emotional experiences of my whole life.
22:18I'll treasure this.
22:34I feel the need to come out there now and tell the fucking world about what's going on in this
22:39room.
22:41And it's impossible for me to do that, so it's getting to me.
22:44Do you get what I mean?
22:46Yeah.
23:03I got it.
23:16I'm happy with you and guests.
23:16Yeah!
