00:16Welcome back.
00:20I'm brittling with rage here because Bert's just accused me of having false choppers.
00:27I mean, how are you supposed to eat these? Look at this.
00:31How odd is that? Get out of this.
00:37Come on, eat that, eat that and I'll give you the fiver.
00:41Welcome back, folks. Later on, the studio will be full of jungle animals.
00:46But now it's time for my next guest.
00:48I'm absolutely delighted because I remember in the 80s,
00:51we used to live a pub in Camden Town, me and my mate,
00:53get in the tube and sing,
00:54We're the kids from America and get thrown off an archway.
00:57But it was a great ride.
00:58She's the green-fingered pop star.
01:01Will you please welcome the one and only Kim Wilde.
01:16I'm going to gush unashamedly now, I am as well, because you know I'm a fan.
01:19I'm a fan too.
01:20Oh, no, I am.
01:21The last time I saw you appear live on the stage was Tommy in the West End.
01:25You were fantastic. I thought you'd given it all up after that, the performing.
01:29Well, I did for a few years. I got married and we had our kids, which is great.
01:33And I hadn't really thought about singing Kids in America again.
01:36And then Tony Denton, the promoter, he says, do you want to do the Here and Now tour?
01:40And I thought, do I really want to sing Kids in America again?
01:43Yes, you do.
01:43Will I get away with it?
01:45Well, you know, but I thought I'd have a go.
01:47And I had so much fun that I did it the year after and the year after that.
01:50And now I'm doing it again this year, this December.
01:52We go out again on the 10th and off we go again.
01:55How long is it at all?
01:56Singing Kids in America.
01:57It finishes on the 18th and we're at Wembley Arena on the 16th.
02:00Oh, fabulous. There's big venues.
02:01Big venues, yeah.
02:02Aren't you terrified?
02:03Now going back, you know when you have a gap from something?
02:05Yeah.
02:05And you go back, do you get nervous?
02:07I was.
02:07Stud in the wings and say, ladies and gentlemen, Miss Kim Wiles.
02:09Yeah, I mean, I'm nervous now.
02:10Oh, you're not nervous.
02:11She's not nervous.
02:13But, erm, I was the first time I went, you know, the first Here and Now tour.
02:17I was really terrified, but, you know, I've done it for a few years now
02:20and I did quite a few festivals in the summer as well.
02:22And you're on with, you've got a great line-up here.
02:24Look at this, you've got Midge Yaw, yourself, Belinda Carlisle, Nick Kershaw,
02:27the original box fizz, yes.
02:29Yay!
02:30Living in a Box and Limahl.
02:32How shall they come in, most definitely?
02:34So you're having a ball?
02:35Yeah, we're going to have a real, I think we're going to do the Christmas song as well,
02:39the band-aid song.
02:40Oh, fabulous.
02:41At the end of it, as a sort of big finale, I think all the Here and Now artists are
02:44going
02:44to sing that.
02:45And where are you kicking off in December?
02:46In Sheffield.
02:47In Sheffield.
02:48Yeah, it's good out there.
02:48Yeah, yeah.
02:49You've been abroad with this and everything, haven't you?
02:51Didn't you go to Australia?
02:52Yeah, we did.
02:53We went to Australia last November, which was fantastic.
02:55We were there when the rugby boys did the business.
02:58In fact, they came to the gig just the night before they won.
03:01But that was leery, was it?
03:03Oh, it was, well, you know, we had a party, what can I say?
03:07Save the girl after my own half, don't they?
03:10Kim, you're an incredible gardener.
03:12How did you get into it?
03:13I got into gardening because I wanted to make a garden for our own children,
03:17because we didn't have a garden.
03:18Yeah.
03:18So, me and my husband, Hal, we went out in the garden.
03:20We started trying to make a garden.
03:21Realised I didn't know nothing about it.
03:23And, um, took myself off to college.
03:25I was pregnant with my little son, Harry.
03:26Can anyone do this, go to college?
03:27Yes, they can.
03:29Anyone can go to college.
03:29Really?
03:30Can you go part-time?
03:31Yeah, you can do it.
03:32You can do it anywhere that fits, you know, fits in with you.
03:34Really?
03:34Absolutely, yeah.
03:35No, don't start tittering, I'll tell you why.
03:38You know, because when I moved, I bought a house four years ago,
03:41and it's got a lovely big garden, and, of course, I'll go and buy plants,
03:44and it'll be in the back of the car, and you can see it ripping its leaves off.
03:47Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:47I know where I'm going, I'm not going to last that.
03:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:50No, really.
03:51Yeah.
03:51So, and I think, well, you learn by your mistakes, I've found.
03:55So, you'd recommend going to college?
03:58I had a ball there, I learnt an awful lot there, but, of course,
04:01I'm still learning all the time, I mean, I'm not an expert,
04:04I don't feel comfortable being called an expert, I'm a real enthusiast.
04:07I mean, I've just written a children's gardening book that's coming out next spring.
04:10Can you see your hands?
04:12Short nails?
04:13Look at mine, look at me and my massive cuts, look, I'm filthy.
04:16Cut, it's not, they're not showbiz hands, then.
04:17Don't get a close-up on them, please.
04:19So, what have you been doing with your hands?
04:21I say, I like...
04:27That's all big.
04:28I know, I know.
04:30I, I, I, because I can't burst, I think, when are you gardening?
04:33It's so nice to get in the soil.
04:35In the soil, I don't want the gloves.
04:36I don't want the gloves.
04:37We're not doing open heart surgery, are we?
04:39Exactly.
04:39So, I like to get right in.
04:41But those net, those, those, um, rose thorns, wow.
04:44Oh, I'm ripped to shreds.
04:45Ripped to shreds.
04:46When should we start pruning our roses?
04:48Well, I've just cut back all my, my climbers quite dramatically.
04:51So, like, honeysuckle and stuff like that, you tack back?
04:54Um, well, you can, after it flowers, yeah.
04:56But the roses, definitely.
04:58Really?
04:58You can do, you can do the climbers now and then maybe do the shrub roses in the spring.
05:01Okay.
05:01Give them a feed.
05:02Yeah.
05:02Take out anything that's dead, diseased or, uh, you know, dying.
05:05And...
05:05What about lavender?
05:06When should that be cut back?
05:08No, I'm, I'm seriously desperate to know.
05:10Cause I didn't pick my, you know, everyone says pick lavender.
05:13Yeah.
05:13Like, lavender bags.
05:14I haven't got to that yet.
05:15No, no, no.
05:15You know, I'm sorry.
05:16I'm not, no.
05:17I'll be crocheting next and pickling onions.
05:19No, no, no.
05:20I like me garden, but no, I'm not going that far.
05:22Yeah.
05:23Lavender's a good one.
05:24I mean, it's, um, after it flowers is, you know, usually the time they say, you know,
05:28cut it back.
05:29Don't go into the woods, you know, just kind of the green soft stuff.
05:32Um, or you can eat the seed heads on for the birds and the animals and things.
05:36Oh, right.
05:37So that's not such a bad idea, which is what I do.
05:38And should we be putting our bones in?
05:39I feel like I'm on God's question time here.
05:41Okay, man.
05:43She's getting grilled.
05:43Um, it's a bit late for, uh, dafts.
05:46You know, they should have gone in September, but it's not too late.
05:48It's not too late for your tulips, darling.
05:50I know I've got just the, uh, tulip here as well.
05:53What is it?
05:53It's called Queen of Night.
05:55Oh, really?
05:55Yeah.
05:58I'll get some of them.
05:59It's dark.
06:00It's dark.
06:00It's mysterious.
06:01It's just you.
06:02Listen to me.
06:05Do you know, do you know, have you ever heard of a voodoo lily?
06:09I'll tell you what, somebody bought me this plant once called a voodoo lily, and it looked
06:13like that thing from Little Shop of Horrors, you know, with the big pod?
06:16Yeah.
06:16And it opens in the night.
06:18Ah.
06:18And the smell is the smell of a rotten corpse to attract insects.
06:22And I remember, I'm lying in bed and I heard me mother going,
06:26And she came down.
06:28She thought that buried something under the floorboards because of this rotten thing.
06:31It stunk.
06:32Talking of stunk, I mean, you can still smell that.
06:35The onion.
06:35The onion.
06:36I was gipping like for real.
06:37I wasn't going behind the chair.
06:38I wasn't doing that for a bit of theatrical effect.
06:40I thought, I can't do it on camera.
06:41No.
06:42Tell you what, that detox thing you did on Channel 5, you were the only one with any dignity.
06:48No, you were very, I thought, how did you put up with that?
06:53Well, I figured there's no such thing as a free lunch.
06:55You know, they took me all the way to Thailand.
06:57I had to do something.
06:58And I was pretty knackered, you know, I just had the two children and my body was, you know,
07:03I felt really like I needed a bit of TLC and a bit of looking after.
07:07It was ten days when I just thought, I'm going to focus on really looking after myself.
07:11But it was brutal.
07:11And I mean, you know, sticking the old pipe where you had to put it twice a day for a
07:18week had its benefits.
07:20So you'd recommend it?
07:22What's the benefits?
07:23Well, you know, I had a good old clear out.
07:25I mean, I haven't done it since and I don't feel inclined to.
07:30Do you know there's people having the tea now?
07:33Do you know, I was going to go and have one.
07:35Only because Julian Cleary talked me into it.
07:37Yeah.
07:40Because he goes every other day.
07:43I went, and there was this young girl, she looked like one of these beauties.
07:47He said, hello, how are you?
07:48And I thought, there's no way I'm lying there with you with the tube, madam.
07:51I'm sorry.
07:52While you're investigating what I had to eat for my dinner in 1961.
07:55I know, I know.
07:57Exactly.
07:58Did you feel better after it?
08:00I did.
08:01I felt really good.
08:02Yeah.
08:02I felt really good.
08:02You know, but I wasn't eating.
08:03I was looking at those cakes now.
08:06I wasn't eating for a week.
08:08It's your birthday, isn't it?
08:10It is, yes.
08:11Yes, yes, it is.
08:12It is my birthday.
08:12And Kim.
08:18As a special piece.

08:47Yes.
08:47Oh, fabulous.
08:48Handmaid.
08:48I didn't make it.

08:54Go and see it.
08:54Let's get my Kim Wilde.

09:01Now, isn't that fabulous?
09:06Just before we play, yes, the theme tune, loads of you have written in, I wish you wouldn't,
09:11to ask to see me falling off the stool last week.
09:15I fell off the organ stool last week.
09:17Aren't people cruel?
09:18And you want to see it again.

09:58Might be rotten.
10:00Well, at least I've got it out the way.
10:01Won't end up on celebrity bloopers or one of those things.
10:04What was down there?
10:05Well, it's an old commode.
10:07Seriously.
10:08I'll show you.

10:11Guess the theme tune.
10:12Right, see you.
10:19Seriously, you don't believe me.

16:47It's fabulous. That's very nice
16:48Thank you. You got an Oscar nomination for that
16:49I did it was written by the same man who wrote Casablanca, so that's why it was so good. It's
16:54a great movie
16:54Yeah, now you've taken time off from acting to write a book. Yeah, yeah, what's it called you ready yet?
16:59No, not yet? No
17:02They don't do the homework
17:04What's it about yeah, and I know it's called the doctor is that he called the doctor? Yeah, it's
17:10It always sounds terribly dreamy when you try I'm not going to tell you the whole story because you know
17:15I don't because then they won't go and buy a shower
17:17Also, they fall asleep
17:19It's really about a man who who who had done terrible things in doing covert operations in the RAF and
17:27And that's where the story starts after after that where he runs away something has happened to him
17:31Which is so appalling that he doesn't think his sanity will survive it
17:35So he runs away and tries to to do things to to to get back into life to atone for
17:41his transgressions
17:42He meets a girl falls in love with her. She's far too young for him, and she falls off with
17:46him
17:46And it's a love story and but it gives tangles and and where'd you get the idea from from I
17:51haven't the faintest idea
17:53Nobody knows where an idea comes from you know if you ask Puccini
17:56How did you think up that tune in say I don't know it just came into that?
18:00Was it hard to write?
18:02It was it was easier to write than I thought because I didn't ever think that I was writing it
18:06seriously
18:06No one had asked me to write it. No one was paying me to write it. There was no deadline
18:11to finish it
18:12So you can take your time
18:13So you can take my time and just sort of enjoy the the what was a new experience for me
18:17of telling a story
18:18If I write another one then it'll be sheer hell from day one
18:21Did you do it long-handed on the old computer?
18:23No on a laptop actually the hard thing the hard thing
18:26Is well there are two hard things one is getting started in the day and they say of writers writers
18:30say that
18:31They would rather clear the hair out of the plug hole in the bath
18:35Than actually sit down and start writing it's it's
18:39Hell and I used to do all sorts of things you know I'd go shopping and buy coffee
18:43You know you know you'd have to clean the bit under the thing you know and anything to
18:48Stop you from from writing and then and then where to sit as a problem
18:51Because you can't sit like that because your back gives out you just force the bits
18:55So eventually I ended up with a garden chair
18:58I was in Los Angeles so it was sunny and warm and I
19:01I get it for my feet I think and and the laptop on my lap where it's supposed to be
19:08And my head with a cushion behind my head the great problem then was staying awake
19:15Every 20 minutes I fell completely asleep
19:18Now shirley valentine's just out on dvd so i believe yeah now you were mob handed weren't you by by
19:23Women of a certain age after shirley valentine you became the thinking thinking woman's crumpet
19:30What a great title i think it was now imagine if we said that about a woman called a bit
19:35of crumpets
19:36They'd be up in arms we've always called them come that's what this
19:40I know but you know if you say it now you go on
19:42They go mad but actually but the thing he was coming
19:45I i i got that accolade and it's the nicest thing that anyone's ever said to me um in about
19:501975
19:53Now i'm really i'm the thinking woman's moldy bap
20:03Oh you're nuts
20:06I bet there's a few bits of totty in this audience
20:09There's a lady in the front there come on up later girls yes
20:14No i've i've heard all about your daughter nina's act now i'm dead so many people have said you'd love
20:19this act she does something with a monkey
20:24No no no it's event
20:27She's a ventriloquist yeah she went to university she got uh she read philosophy got a first came out and
20:34became a ventriloquist
20:36All that money spent on education there you are
20:39But never she she's she's brilliant i know i i know she's my daughter and i would naturally think she
20:44was brilliant anyway
20:44But but but she is you see i think that's hard to make like a bit of fluff seem like
20:49a three-dimensional character and totally believe it
20:51That to me is great acting
20:52Well that i think you're obviously right the the art of ventriloquism is is is not just the easy bit
20:58is actually talking without moving your lips
21:00You know you could teach yourself to do that the difficult bit is to give this thing
21:04Life yeah so the audience doesn't watch you at all it watches this creature but she does
21:09Amazingly now the monkeys it's got a bit of a mouth on it hasn't it this is the most disgusting
21:13awful creature i
21:15Think we could have it on at tea time
21:17But she turned which should turn it down
21:19She turned it down yes i've said nina if you're watching please you've got a buck in love yeah
21:23So get the monkey house okay
21:25Tell her she's booked on but tell her please the monkey mustn't go into one because otherwise i'll be getting
21:30my p45 and i'll be out
21:31That's it what was it like working on friends was that different from working on an english sort of sitcom
21:38i've got to be careful here what i say
21:40i have little experience of working english sitcoms but working on friends was it was wonderful because
21:47They're all so nice they really are delightful the six of them and they're lovely people and they're very hard
21:53working
21:53They really like each other they're paid a fortune aren't they they are paid a fortune but well you know
21:58that's why they're nice
21:59Well if you're getting fistfuls of moolah like that you can grin all day can't you really i've i've met
22:05a few people who have been paid a fortune who weren't particularly
22:08And particularly nice but they are they actually sit in each other's labs and think yeah
22:13Yes they do it's they're really fond of each other and they're brilliant
22:19i don't think i'd fancy that it's all about
22:21cloying at six o'clock in the morning if you don't want i wouldn't be offered it this is the
22:25thing

24:16movie she's been in uh lost in space and fierce creatures and she's also been in a catatonia music
24:21video so very good and speaking speaking of space where is she she's around that way here we go
24:27speaking of going in space this was the first species to actually be sent in space uh in the
24:31on the sputnik but unfortunately i think she wants to space she didn't know she's kind of not that old

25:54will see in the jungle this is freddie now this is a sugar glider a sugar glider is a marsupial
26:00which
26:00is a mammal that has a patch at the front uh they're gorgeous little animal and i remember
26:05when i was a kid because uh where the uh i'm a celebrity camp is is in queensland and um
26:10in
26:10queensland we have these little animals and we used to go out at night with our uh our torches
26:14and shine up in the in the trees you could see their little hand their little eyes and you could
26:17actually dip your hand in in honey and put your hand on the tree and they come down and lick
26:21your
26:21fingers it's gorgeous what happens when you run out of honey they bite them okay yeah just a little tip
26:28you should possibly so if we let her out now she'd go leaping all over these people she will but
26:32the
26:32reason she's called a sugar glider is that um they live about 60 meters up in in eucalypt trees and
26:38basically when they want to move from one tree to another instead of running all the way down and then
26:41up again they actually just stretch out their front and back legs and they've got this sort of
26:45skin flap which is controlled by muscle and they just sort of glide or parachute from one tree to the
26:49next i've done that out of a council flat have you well these guys catch insects on the way did
26:55you as
26:55well yeah yeah i had the bailiff kicking the door and i had no choice i had a telly under
27:02one arm and
27:03it's been dried under the other and here i am to tell the tale folks doesn't make it hard to
27:08glide

27:39animal and um they're omnivorous which means they'll eat all sorts of things from carrion which is
27:43sort of dead animals to crops things like that um they usually live in dry savannah the cutest thing
27:48about this i found is actually when they um have babies which is after about two months they have
27:52twins it's very sweet it's not a twin armadillos there you go is it actually very hard hair on his
27:57back or is it yeah is it shell basically what it is is they have an internal skeleton it's not
28:02an exoskeleton
28:03but they also have this skin which is modified and it's a mixture of bone and horn
28:08it's not a day madness a very very strange animal but they they're mostly they sort of burrow um
28:14and they're they're an amazing looking creature aren't they it looks like a wood no those wood lice you
