WEBVTT

00:11.149 --> 00:12.692
Looking where there's just a touch on the face of spirit.

02:26.285 --> 02:44.653
In my backpack, I got my act right She should act quite difficult And your result, we end With anger and discontent Slowing, singing in search of my keyboard I'm a peace-loving decoy ready for retaliation I change the whole occasion to a pine box six under

03:02.517 --> 03:03.918
Why you feel the bruiser?

03:04.719 --> 03:30.559
Chill with your old lady at the gym I got a 90-day station and I feel with you From Queens, Tennessee You want it from a bottom line, from a gang team Tonight I hear the shots swing, so I'm a light sleeper Cost of life seems to get cheaper Out in the desert with my sweet sweeper The war is over, soul sets beat up With the rice soup on, fancy hair, I'm just a pawn So we can advance, remember when they eat the beans

04:11.795 --> 04:12.876
Christmas, my friend!

04:12.896 --> 04:13.838
Christmas!

04:14.278 --> 04:24.853
Since I bought this house between Simon Callow and Brian Blessed, it's caused me problems around the festive season listeners, because when I hear that sound, listen.

04:27.279 --> 04:32.343
I simply don't know whether it's Santa or Blessed or Callo.

04:32.483 --> 04:33.104
Oh, it's Blessed.

04:34.165 --> 04:35.225
He said Simon.

04:35.926 --> 04:37.367
Do you know what that sound is, listeners?

04:37.807 --> 04:39.469
My house is directly between Callo and Blessed.

04:39.489 --> 04:45.313
That's the sound of Blessed talking to Callo through the walls of my house.

04:45.674 --> 04:46.494
There's Callo.

04:51.991 --> 04:54.315
Can you hear that as clearly as I can hear that listener?

04:54.335 --> 04:55.557
I paid £750,000 for this house.

04:55.697 --> 04:56.999
I'm mortgaged up to my... Ball eyes.

05:07.432 --> 05:08.993
Blimey, they're being very loud this evening.

05:09.013 --> 05:09.493
Oh, hey, man.

05:09.933 --> 05:10.794
They are being very loud.

05:11.154 --> 05:18.439
I wish they could just go round or speak on the phone, but shouting to each other through my house is really anti-social.

05:18.459 --> 05:19.819
Can you imagine them texting each other?

05:19.839 --> 05:21.120
It would all be capitals, wouldn't it?

05:21.200 --> 05:23.642
If they weren't such extraordinary actors.

05:23.722 --> 05:25.002
They're good actors, I'll tell you that much.

05:25.022 --> 05:25.403
I would complain.

05:25.803 --> 05:27.144
I'll give you that much for free.

05:27.924 --> 05:30.005
So, folks, it's Christmas Eve.

05:30.266 --> 05:30.846
Oh, boy.

05:31.026 --> 05:33.828
I mean, that's almost my favourite part of Christmas, right?

05:33.868 --> 05:35.148
My cockles have never been warmer.

05:35.309 --> 05:35.609
Yeah.

05:36.109 --> 05:37.270
They're absolutely boiling.

05:38.050 --> 05:39.971
Do you have a little Christmas Eve ritual at all?

05:40.731 --> 05:45.454
I mean, in the olden days, when we lived near to each other, we would go round to each other's houses.

05:46.114 --> 05:48.595
You guys, a little bit of phlegm there, it's Christmas phlegm.

05:48.796 --> 05:49.436
Festive phlegm.

05:55.640 --> 05:59.303
We would all converge at my parents' house in Clapham.

05:59.703 --> 06:09.191
My dad would get a little bit tooty on champagne and regale us with stories of the old days, and Joe and Louis would sit by the fire and sort of chuckle at him.

06:10.052 --> 06:10.632
I would join in.

06:10.672 --> 06:12.354
It was good times, man.

06:12.574 --> 06:13.174
Good times.

06:13.194 --> 06:13.795
They're gone now.

06:14.275 --> 06:14.535
Are they?

06:16.335 --> 06:19.056
But no, we've got some good times for you right here, listeners.

06:19.076 --> 06:23.497
This is a compilation of some of our favourite moments from the programme throughout the year.

06:23.537 --> 06:24.677
We really hope you enjoy it.

06:25.097 --> 06:26.998
It's two hours long, isn't that correct?

06:27.178 --> 06:32.899
And it's full of chitchat highlights from a full year of Adam and Jo radio shows here on BBC Six Music.

06:33.299 --> 06:38.760
And some of the exciting topics that we're going to cover include our trip to Glastonbury,

06:39.780 --> 06:41.001
MP's expenses, mate.

06:41.041 --> 06:42.463
That was a hot button topic this year.

06:42.483 --> 06:42.923
Ah, hot topic?

06:43.223 --> 06:43.764
All over it.

06:43.964 --> 06:46.666
The BBC's points of view programme, The Archers.

06:46.887 --> 06:47.948
Bla boobie de baya.

06:48.028 --> 06:53.753
And lots of contributions that you, the listeners, made to various techs the nation, so you never know.

06:53.833 --> 06:55.354
You could be featured in this programme.

06:55.735 --> 06:57.096
Mmm, that's exciting for you, isn't it?

06:57.396 --> 07:03.241
Because let's not forget that you, listeners, are the backbone of the show, and without you it would be a formless pile of dog poo.

07:04.282 --> 07:04.482
Yep.

07:05.083 --> 07:06.583
That's going a bit too far, isn't it?

07:06.603 --> 07:07.804
That's not very Christmasy, isn't it?

07:07.824 --> 07:08.905
It's not a Christmasy image, is it?

07:08.965 --> 07:10.665
No, it's a formless pile of dog poop.

07:10.866 --> 07:12.526
So listen, here's some Jamie Bowie.

07:12.546 --> 07:14.487
He's one of our favourite artists on the programme.

07:14.828 --> 07:16.909
And this is a very special song for me.

07:17.369 --> 07:19.510
This is the first song I ever learned how to play on the guitar.

07:20.270 --> 07:24.813
And I sang this to my beautiful wife at our wedding in front of my friends and family.

07:25.293 --> 07:27.034
And I'm still a little bit embarrassed about it.

07:27.275 --> 07:27.755
No, you're not.

07:27.815 --> 07:30.036
I have to tell you, yeah, I really am.

07:30.096 --> 07:34.579
Sometimes I wake up at night sweating thinking, oh, maybe that wasn't the best idea.

07:34.799 --> 07:37.821
But here's David doing the proper version of Coops.

07:46.587 --> 07:49.614
Will you stay in our lover's story?

07:50.475 --> 07:55.807
If you stay, you won't be sorry, cause we believe in you.

07:57.646 --> 08:09.912
Soon you'll grow, so take a chance With a couple of kooks, hung up on romancing Will you stay in our lover's story?

08:10.612 --> 08:23.898
If you stay, you won't be sorry Cause we'll believe in you Soon you'll grow, so take a chance With a couple of kooks, hung up on romancing

08:33.626 --> 08:59.722
We bought a lot of things to keep you warm and dry And a funny old crib on which the paint won't dry I bought you a pair of shoes, a trumpet you can blow And a book of rules of what to say to people when they pick on you Cause if you stay with us, you're gonna be pretty cooking too Will you stay in our lover's storage?

09:00.563 --> 09:01.303
If you stay

09:04.090 --> 09:14.092
He believed in you Soon you'll grow So take a chance With a couple of kooks Come up alone

09:27.138 --> 09:49.232
Remember how they messed up, you're so fool Don't pick fights with the bullies or the cats Cause I'm not much cop, adventuring other people's dads And if the homework brings you down Then we'll throw it on the fire and take the car downs out Will you stay in my lover's story?

09:50.152 --> 09:55.176
If you stay, you won't be sorry Cause we believe in you

09:57.284 --> 09:59.125
What a funny face.

09:59.165 --> 10:00.546
Beautiful eyes.

10:00.586 --> 10:02.807
Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.

10:02.828 --> 10:04.969
A bear was Fuzzy Wuzzy.

10:05.809 --> 10:07.470
Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair.

10:26.314 --> 10:27.618
I don't know the rest of that poem.

10:34.216 --> 10:37.117
It was, it was, it was, it was.

10:37.337 --> 10:38.677
Iman, is that the phone ringing?

10:38.897 --> 10:41.017
It was, it was.

10:42.477 --> 10:58.060
Just Adam and Jo at Glastonbury 2009 live for BBC 6 Music and don't forget there's full coverage of the festival for the rest of the day here on 6 Music and you can find all sorts of exciting fees from all the stages at bbc.co.uk slash Glastonbury.

10:58.680 --> 11:02.741
You know if you're at home some may say you're in a better position to enjoy the festival than if you're here.

11:02.981 --> 11:04.201
I mean, they'd be slightly foolish.

11:04.421 --> 11:06.362
Yeah, because it's been an absolutely beautiful festival.

11:06.402 --> 11:08.142
We've been very lucky with the weather thus far.

11:08.542 --> 11:23.626
Anyway, listen, folks, we're going to fill you in now on how we got on yesterday when we went to the cabaret tent and did a stint of live performing for the crowds and for Black Squadron, who turned up in their hundreds to see us read out some classic made-up jokes.

11:23.646 --> 11:30.048
Yeah, if you've contributed a joke to this show, listen carefully, because you never know, your material might have been read out in front of a Glastonbury crowd.

11:30.168 --> 11:30.508
Check it out.

11:31.732 --> 11:45.557
BBC six music live from Glastonbury 2009 with Adam and Joe Hey listeners, we're outside the cabaret tent Kevin Eldon is on inside It's a very very packed audience in there.

11:45.718 --> 11:54.361
It is quite a few people have turned up to see us, which is very heartening We're just doing this little link outside the tent and would you say 15 people with cameras have gathered around us?

11:54.401 --> 11:54.601
Yeah

11:54.941 --> 11:56.242
Black Squadron are here, basically.

11:56.302 --> 11:58.543
It's the Black Squadron paparazzi division.

11:58.563 --> 11:59.244
It's amazing.

11:59.504 --> 12:00.265
They're popping us.

12:00.425 --> 12:02.946
And this is the 10th Stevenage we're getting as well.

12:03.346 --> 12:04.887
Never has there been so much Stevenage.

12:04.908 --> 12:06.288
There's waving and excitement.

12:06.328 --> 12:06.869
Check this out.

12:06.889 --> 12:09.330
If I shout Steven right now, I'm going to get a good response.

12:09.350 --> 12:09.671
Do you think?

12:09.691 --> 12:09.851
Yeah.

12:10.311 --> 12:10.751
Let's try it.

12:11.051 --> 12:12.032
One, two, three.

12:12.352 --> 12:12.773
Steven!

12:12.793 --> 12:13.013
Go Steven!

12:15.514 --> 12:16.454
That was pretty good.

12:17.134 --> 12:17.574
Look at that.

12:17.634 --> 12:18.195
Pretty good.

12:18.235 --> 12:20.675
You know, they've had a tough weekend, so they're not as tight as they might be.

12:20.955 --> 12:23.956
We didn't even arrange high quality, so it's very good indeed.

12:24.296 --> 12:24.876
So here we go.

12:24.896 --> 12:36.618
Stephen!

12:36.758 --> 12:37.438
This is amazing.

12:37.458 --> 12:38.678
This is maximum Stephenish.

12:38.858 --> 12:41.919
If you don't know who the hell we are, all we're talking about, we're Adam and John, Adam.

12:42.399 --> 12:43.059
Hello, I'm Joe.

12:45.189 --> 12:47.590
We do a radio show on BBC 6 music.

12:47.970 --> 12:50.511
We used to be on television a long time ago before 9-11.

12:50.531 --> 12:53.212
9-11 changed all that.

12:53.232 --> 12:54.432
We've been banned from TV now.

12:54.693 --> 13:00.555
But we're here tonight to do a very, very fast set, a four minute set of pure comedy uranium.

13:00.795 --> 13:04.056
These are made up jokes that our listeners have sent in to us.

13:04.376 --> 13:08.078
Yeah, we have to stress, these are all authored by real people.

13:08.098 --> 13:09.558
You know, they're not made by jokes, scientists.

13:09.578 --> 13:11.539
These are organic, fair trade jokes.

13:12.259 --> 13:13.080
You know, for the new millennia.

13:13.460 --> 13:19.585
And to maximise the efficiency of this set, we're going to ask you not to make any noise at all.

13:19.845 --> 13:23.008
If you think the jokes are terrible, please stay silent.

13:23.048 --> 13:25.930
If you think they're amazing, please stay completely silent.

13:25.951 --> 13:28.433
We're going to try and get three minutes of pure silence, and at the very end...

13:28.933 --> 13:29.673
You can let it all out.

13:29.714 --> 13:31.375
You can respond in any way you please.

13:31.435 --> 13:33.876
We'll give you the cue and then you can let it all out.

13:33.896 --> 13:38.419
But until then, absolute silence for these extraordinary made up jokes.

13:38.960 --> 13:44.503
I'm going to begin by setting the scene with a joke I made up myself that got the ball rolling on our radio show.

13:44.803 --> 13:45.644
I'm very pleased with it.

13:46.465 --> 13:48.146
What do you call a group of rapping babies?

13:49.144 --> 13:50.245
The no solids crew.

13:51.146 --> 13:51.807
No noise!

13:51.907 --> 13:52.588
There was some noise.

13:52.888 --> 13:56.993
Here's one I made up when my girlfriend said to me, oh Joe, I've got really bad indigestion.

13:57.213 --> 13:57.894
Quick as a flash.

13:58.114 --> 14:01.198
I came back with, well, why don't you get out of digestion?

14:03.211 --> 14:03.691
No noise.

14:05.073 --> 14:07.314
This is a joke from Gareth in Letwick Major.

14:07.655 --> 14:09.736
What do you call an Italian who could talk to the dead?

14:10.297 --> 14:10.978
Luigi board.

14:10.998 --> 14:12.098
Another one from Gareth.

14:12.379 --> 14:14.320
My cat Minton ate a shuttlecock.

14:14.901 --> 14:16.202
Bad Minton.

14:16.702 --> 14:18.964
How do you find Will Smith in the snow?

14:19.925 --> 14:20.806
Look for Fresh Prince.

14:22.762 --> 14:25.984
Just take a tiny second to take that in and let's move on.

14:26.384 --> 14:30.147
It's important for me to tell you that this next joke is written by a four-year-old, ladies and gentlemen.

14:30.327 --> 14:31.208
Oh, you've got the year-old?

14:31.368 --> 14:31.588
Yeah.

14:32.248 --> 14:34.850
What do you call a man with a spade on his head?

14:36.311 --> 14:37.332
The Pooh Monster.

14:37.352 --> 14:41.714
These are from Merrick Cartwright, incidentally, aged four.

14:42.035 --> 14:43.235
Why did the chicken cross the road?

14:43.516 --> 14:45.357
He was being chased by the Pooh Monster.

14:47.096 --> 14:54.141
When old Schwarzenegger was upset last Easter, because he didn't get any eggs, his secretary said to him, does this mean you hate Easter now, Mr. Governor?

14:54.541 --> 14:57.283
And he said, nah, I still love Easter, baby.

14:58.164 --> 14:59.985
That's it, made up dance.

15:04.388 --> 15:08.330
Well, Adam and John, thank you very much to any listeners who've come to see us.

15:08.350 --> 15:09.071
Thanks to all the animals.

15:09.191 --> 15:09.811
Stephen!

15:09.851 --> 15:11.232
Have a great first of all.

15:13.240 --> 15:16.003
We have just come off stage at the cabaret tent.

15:17.144 --> 15:19.187
We just completed our made up joke set.

15:19.907 --> 15:21.069
And how did you feel it went Joe?

15:21.289 --> 15:23.091
I was excited, I think it went really well.

15:23.131 --> 15:26.635
I made a couple of pronounced C-A-T-R-E boo-boos, but I feel that's part of my shtick.

15:26.915 --> 15:27.456
It was brilliant.

15:27.476 --> 15:28.296
We turned it round.

15:28.917 --> 15:32.558
I, you know, I rigged you a little bit about it and you took the ribbing really well.

15:32.638 --> 15:42.001
I thought you might get angry because, you know, you're the stand-up and I was doing really well and probably level with you, you know, and I just thought you might be getting a bit angry and jealous.

15:42.021 --> 15:42.961
I thought I might be threatened by it.

15:43.101 --> 15:45.322
Yeah, threatened by my kind of untutored stand-up skills.

15:45.342 --> 15:48.863
I thought I'd be annoyed by the fact that you haven't got any formal training skills.

15:48.903 --> 15:50.383
Yeah, yeah, yeah, there I am.

15:50.423 --> 15:52.744
Like Michael Caine versus Al Pacino, you know.

15:52.924 --> 15:53.724
Yeah, exactly.

15:54.244 --> 15:55.264
But what a great crowd.

15:55.324 --> 15:56.805
They came out in droves for us.

15:56.825 --> 16:00.666
If anyone's listening to this who was in that crowd, thank you, thank you for coming and for giving us such a welcome.

16:00.686 --> 16:03.467
You made two very happy men, very, very old.

16:26.537 --> 16:44.654
A shallow piece of dignity I wish I had a bottle Right here in my dead place

17:20.799 --> 17:24.252
So that this is the end

17:56.545 --> 18:01.429
We don't talk about love We only wanna dance

18:55.491 --> 18:57.338
Inside for life

20:17.264 --> 20:18.845
This is Adam and Jo on BBC6 Music.

20:18.905 --> 20:25.428
One of the biggest challenges of coming to the Glastonbury Festival, uh, aside from surviving the festival itself, is the journey.

20:25.889 --> 20:26.209
Oh yes.

20:26.309 --> 20:27.329
It's getting down here.

20:27.370 --> 20:29.351
Like one year you and I drove, didn't we Adam?

20:29.471 --> 20:29.671
Yeah.

20:29.731 --> 20:33.913
Back in the days when we were doing tele coverage for BBC Choice, we drove down.

20:34.193 --> 20:35.534
How long did we sit in a jam for?

20:35.854 --> 20:36.394
Uh, seven hours.

20:36.735 --> 20:37.535
Seven hours.

20:37.595 --> 20:38.596
It was infuriating.

20:38.756 --> 20:39.056
It was.

20:39.116 --> 20:40.617
Nothing worse than being stuck in a jam.

20:40.637 --> 20:42.098
Especially... A special Douglas can attest.

20:42.238 --> 20:42.778
Exactly.

20:43.058 --> 20:47.721
You know, in this big metal box sitting in the middle of God knows where, Lord knows where, unable to move.

20:47.741 --> 20:48.741
I ran out of music to play.

20:48.761 --> 20:53.844
I had my mini disc player, and I thought I'd done pretty well stocking up for the music.

20:54.224 --> 20:55.845
I was down to the really rotten stuff.

20:56.465 --> 21:01.108
They might have improved it over the years, but the roads around Glastonbury become notoriously congested leading up to the festival.

21:01.148 --> 21:05.350
Various local villages have to be sort of circled off by security men and stuff.

21:05.690 --> 21:06.491
It's a big hoo-ha.

21:06.691 --> 21:07.591
It's an absolute dime of hoo-ha.

21:07.611 --> 21:08.872
It's one of the largest of all the hoo-has.

21:09.372 --> 21:10.973
So this year we decided to come by train.

21:11.614 --> 21:20.741
And we got our agents to pressure the BBC into sending us down in minor style, write a cheap weekend first class upgrade, because the carriages were very full.

21:20.781 --> 21:24.123
So I was sitting in first class and some other people had had the same idea.

21:24.143 --> 21:25.845
They bought the cheap first class upgrade.

21:26.445 --> 21:27.985
And there are a couple of lads sitting opposite me.

21:28.045 --> 21:32.686
I say lads, they were in their mid-to-late 30s, obviously childhood friends.

21:33.086 --> 21:41.188
They sat down and they'd obviously sort of got off a week's work early and they were going to relive their youth by going down to Glasto together like they did maybe 15 years ago.

21:41.568 --> 21:43.308
They went to the buffet as soon as it opened.

21:43.649 --> 21:45.589
How many tins of beer do you think they got each?

21:46.009 --> 21:46.269
Each.

21:47.089 --> 21:48.670
Well, if it was me, I'd go for a couple.

21:48.990 --> 21:49.170
Eight.

21:49.590 --> 21:50.570
Eight each.

21:50.670 --> 21:52.310
Two-hour journey, eight each.

21:52.690 --> 21:53.611
What's the maths on that?

21:54.111 --> 21:54.891
That's unbelievable.

21:54.931 --> 21:55.391
What for them?

21:55.831 --> 21:56.191
15 minutes.

21:56.231 --> 21:56.971
That's extraordinary.

21:57.132 --> 21:57.852
That was extraordinary.

21:57.872 --> 22:06.475
They started off with quite intelligent conversation but then and they were sitting right near me I was trying to read my paper but I couldn't help but listen to every single word they were saying.

22:06.535 --> 22:07.355
Yeah.

22:07.375 --> 22:09.256
They started to have a burping competition.

22:09.456 --> 22:10.037
Did they?

22:10.257 --> 22:13.938
Yeah and then that the burping competition it devolved into a farting competition.

22:14.118 --> 22:15.239
In executive class this is?

22:15.279 --> 22:16.799
This was in premier class.

22:17.179 --> 22:21.401
They started blowing off really loud classic raspberry farts.

22:21.741 --> 22:22.501
What the hell?

22:22.521 --> 22:25.462
And I thought, this can't go on, so I broke the fourth wall again.

22:25.482 --> 22:25.522
No!

22:26.382 --> 22:28.243
Like I did at the King Creosote gig.

22:28.323 --> 22:29.103
Oh, you intervened.

22:29.123 --> 22:31.604
And I turned to them and said, how old did you say you are?

22:31.624 --> 22:31.604
37.

22:32.164 --> 22:33.164
That was your opening gambit.

22:33.184 --> 22:33.844
With a smile.

22:34.205 --> 22:36.005
It was a nice, light-hearted thing to say.

22:36.025 --> 22:38.826
And they looked at me and laughed, but they were mortified.

22:39.026 --> 22:39.746
Nice and light-hearted.

22:39.766 --> 22:41.487
Cornish managed to do his mortifying act again.

22:41.527 --> 22:42.587
Were you shaking while he said it?

22:42.947 --> 22:45.408
No, no, I was, I was, I'm used to this kind of thing.

22:45.468 --> 22:49.130
I'm a professional, you know, professional party pooper.

22:49.210 --> 22:49.470
Yeah.

22:49.890 --> 22:54.313
And then we had a little chitchat that was fine, but they were obviously so freaked out at being caught at being juvenile.

22:54.373 --> 22:54.553
Yeah.

22:54.733 --> 22:59.195
They tried to then turn their conversation into something more intellectual.

22:59.835 --> 23:03.577
I wrote down some of the stuff they said immediately after the farting incident.

23:03.617 --> 23:06.959
People you don't ever want to be stuck in a confined space with.

23:07.019 --> 23:07.179
Me.

23:07.199 --> 23:07.639
Number one.

23:07.839 --> 23:08.279
Choking.

23:10.700 --> 23:14.501
There was some giggling after the fighting had been exposed and they sort of didn't know what to do next.

23:14.821 --> 23:16.242
Their style was cramped by me.

23:16.542 --> 23:17.182
What a weird.

23:17.522 --> 23:22.643
So they started to talk about films and one of them said, you know what the best film is ever made?

23:22.703 --> 23:23.363
Citizen Kane.

23:23.463 --> 23:24.023
Do you know why?

23:24.304 --> 23:24.784
Two words.

23:25.004 --> 23:25.624
Greg Toland.

23:25.824 --> 23:27.564
Depth of field.

23:27.584 --> 23:28.965
75% of all communication is non-verbal.

23:29.265 --> 23:30.265
It's about seeing the ceiling.

23:30.685 --> 23:34.146
He started to go super intellectual about Citizen Kane.

23:34.586 --> 23:38.607
To try and convince me, the Cornballs, that they weren't just Fartmeisters.

23:40.047 --> 23:41.448
And they completely stopped guffing.

23:41.508 --> 23:43.169
It wasn't like... The guffing stopped.

23:43.589 --> 23:47.191
But he was really making a conscious effort to try and turn his reputation around.

23:47.231 --> 23:47.471
Yeah.

23:48.351 --> 23:49.492
I don't know what their names were.

23:49.692 --> 23:50.592
I won't embarrass them.

23:50.932 --> 23:51.893
But they were having a good time.

23:51.913 --> 23:53.173
And you know what the sweetest thing was?

23:53.694 --> 23:59.516
When the train pulled up at Castle Kerry and the Tannoy announced where we were, they both high-fived each other.

23:59.656 --> 24:01.557
Like a couple of excited 15-year-olds.

24:01.577 --> 24:02.237
It was very sweet.

24:02.598 --> 24:05.859
And they fell out of the train on their faces and fell asleep on the platform.

24:06.239 --> 24:07.540
As far as I know, they're still there.

24:08.440 --> 24:12.804
Are you going to tell anyone else in the festival off today?

24:13.364 --> 24:15.266
I'm going to tell a lot of people off in the festival.

24:15.646 --> 24:19.570
After the show's finished, we should go out there and record you just telling some people off.

24:19.790 --> 24:20.490
They were farting.

24:20.671 --> 24:22.152
Would you have just tolerated the farting?

24:22.212 --> 24:23.313
It was stinky as well.

24:23.953 --> 24:26.855
You can't do stinky guffs in first class, can you?

24:27.015 --> 24:29.417
No, I admire your interventionary skills.

24:29.477 --> 24:30.458
That's very impressive.

24:30.478 --> 24:32.519
How old did you say you were?

24:32.940 --> 24:36.342
But don't paint me as some kind of headmaster type character.

24:36.402 --> 24:37.603
No, why would I?

24:38.424 --> 24:39.404
It was Jovil.

24:40.165 --> 24:41.005
It was friendly.

24:41.165 --> 24:42.546
We're good pals.

24:42.606 --> 24:43.107
That's cool.

24:58.513 --> 25:03.576
I promise I'm so much.

25:03.796 --> 25:07.178
I am a relic.

25:07.339 --> 25:11.001
I am just a petrified cry.

25:11.841 --> 25:17.445
Well, I want to hear a sign of time, sovereignly.

25:23.373 --> 25:25.254
It's time to start my songs.

25:25.354 --> 25:36.280
Electric desert, dearera Scream to us all, to us all Electric desert, dearera Scream to us all, to us all

27:30.698 --> 27:55.774
To my son, dear Herrera Scream to my son, to my son Left his death son, dear Herrera Scream to my son, to my son I saw my medal, it paid a bill And sales of markets lost forever

28:12.682 --> 28:13.390
to the side

28:51.278 --> 28:53.239
Adam and Joe's on 6 Music.

29:09.605 --> 29:15.110
People, people, we got to get over before we go under.

29:15.250 --> 29:17.532
Down, oh.

29:17.932 --> 29:21.915
People, people, we got to get over before we go under.

29:22.336 --> 29:25.719
Hey country, you didn't say what you meant, you just changed.

29:26.199 --> 29:29.382
Brand new funky, president down.

29:31.103 --> 29:34.126
Start market going up, jobs going down.

29:42.745 --> 29:51.390
Let's get together and raise some Let's get together, get some land Raise our food like the man

30:12.028 --> 30:14.010
Put up a backflip on the job.

30:14.350 --> 30:16.131
Whoo!

30:16.692 --> 30:20.395
Come on, let me out.

30:21.035 --> 30:23.097
Hello, Godfather.

30:23.197 --> 30:25.019
Hello!

30:25.099 --> 30:25.619
Whoo!

30:25.679 --> 30:27.480
Turn on your funk motor.

30:27.501 --> 30:29.202
Get down and bring his load.

30:30.383 --> 30:35.027
Get sexy, sexy, get funky and dainty.

30:35.367 --> 30:36.228
Love me, baby.

30:36.428 --> 30:37.268
Love me nice.

30:39.768 --> 30:43.789
Don't make it one, but can you make it twice?

30:43.989 --> 30:44.770
I like it.

30:44.810 --> 30:48.230
Peep-a-peep-a, we gotta get over before we go under.

30:49.211 --> 30:52.912
Peep-a-peep-a, well, well, well, before we go under.

30:53.892 --> 30:56.693
Turn on your funk motor, I know it's tough.

30:57.753 --> 31:01.914
Turn on your funk motor, until you get enough, yeah.

31:02.514 --> 31:05.395
Hey, give this a chance to come through.

31:08.940 --> 31:10.742
I can do what you can do.

31:13.765 --> 31:15.827
Hey, this is the band.

31:15.887 --> 31:16.748
Rap Godfather.

31:16.808 --> 31:17.428
Hey there.

31:17.769 --> 31:18.789
Code Red.

31:19.931 --> 31:21.032
Beep-a-beep-a.

31:24.615 --> 31:24.815
Hey.

31:24.855 --> 31:25.636

31:28.178 --> 31:28.839
Hey.

31:29.199 --> 31:31.762
Beep-a-beep-a.

31:31.802 --> 31:33.323
Don't you see what he's doing?

31:33.523 --> 31:34.104
Beep-a-beep-a.

31:40.726 --> 32:04.367

32:11.118 --> 32:14.761

32:14.901 --> 32:18.484
I got to get over before we go under.

32:19.264 --> 32:22.267
Time ain't a jaunt.

32:23.067 --> 32:29.652
Lord, could you do you know just what I meant?

32:29.692 --> 32:31.133
Well, there's change.

32:31.193 --> 32:33.375
I got a brand new funky business.

32:33.415 --> 32:36.918
I need to be the mayor.

32:41.524 --> 32:50.090
This is Adam and Jo on BBC Six Music.

32:50.130 --> 32:57.895
I've just got a bit of advice for some people in the BBC, some of our fellow big British castle dwellers.

32:59.056 --> 33:01.637
It was the last episode of Points of View this week.

33:02.118 --> 33:02.398
Oh really?

33:02.418 --> 33:03.539
Do you ever watch Points of View?

33:03.699 --> 33:03.979
No, who's

33:04.019 --> 33:04.760
hosting it these days.

33:25.300 --> 33:31.686
But isn't it important for there to be a forum within a channel where viewers can have their say and get a sense of feedback?

33:31.706 --> 33:33.768
They've got to have their right to reply.

33:34.048 --> 33:39.673
Especially for the BBC in this day and age, there's been a lot of scrutiny of the BBC and its values and all that kind of business.

33:40.734 --> 33:51.543
So in a way, Points of View is a very important programme because it should seriously reflect that listener's points of view are being taken seriously.

33:51.684 --> 33:51.864
Yeah.

33:52.524 --> 33:57.806
And you would have thought that would be reflected in the theme music, wouldn't you?

33:57.946 --> 33:59.746
Yeah, I've no idea what the theme music is.

33:59.786 --> 34:07.649
Well, this is the theme music that the BBC have decided to use for points of view, and they have kind of improved the rest of the show.

34:07.669 --> 34:12.910
In the old days, the host used, the letters used to be read out by sort of comedy voices, do you remember?

34:12.990 --> 34:13.210
Yeah.

34:13.470 --> 34:15.491
And it was just a tiny bit dismissive.

34:16.171 --> 34:18.232
and making light of people's complaints.

34:18.692 --> 34:19.833
And I think they changed that.

34:19.933 --> 34:22.194
It's now presented by Jeremy Vine.

34:22.214 --> 34:26.436
And in the old days, it was in a sort of front room, a cozy sort of front room with some flowers.

34:26.496 --> 34:29.178
Now it's in a sort of, he's leaning on a control desk.

34:29.238 --> 34:35.321
It's as if it's more serious and like the news and as if your complaints are really getting to a place that matters.

34:35.821 --> 34:37.402
But they made all those improvements.

34:37.422 --> 34:38.002
The control desk.

34:38.422 --> 34:45.029
but they're still using a theme tune that maybe doesn't reflect the necessary respect for their listeners.

34:45.049 --> 34:47.631
Because I would imagine it would be something like the news, you know?

34:47.812 --> 34:50.054
Yes, serious and important.

34:50.074 --> 34:51.035
Like a current affairs gig.

34:51.055 --> 34:51.415
Yeah, yeah.

34:51.455 --> 34:53.017
Well, no, this is the theme tune they use.

35:04.824 --> 35:05.725
You made that up.

35:05.865 --> 35:07.205
No, that's the real theme music.

35:07.265 --> 35:10.667
I had to edit it a bit there because the iPlayer kept stalling.

35:11.088 --> 35:11.688
Ah, it does that.

35:12.568 --> 35:13.849
Is that really the theme music?

35:13.869 --> 35:14.850
That's the theme music.

35:14.910 --> 35:15.910
Let's have it again.

35:27.997 --> 35:33.303
The BBC has been in some quite serious trouble in the last year or so.

35:33.923 --> 35:37.106
That's just a tip to my colleagues in the castle.

35:37.507 --> 35:41.150
You might want to change that music.

35:41.451 --> 35:42.191
Who made that?

35:42.552 --> 35:44.734
Whoever done that is a jingle genius for a start.

35:44.754 --> 35:47.056
Yeah, it's good music, but maybe on the wrong show.

35:47.096 --> 35:47.857
On the wrong show.

35:47.877 --> 35:49.959
See, that would be good theme music for our show.

35:50.739 --> 35:51.080
It would.

35:51.100 --> 35:54.202
Well, maybe we should sing over it or do an extended mix of it.

35:54.222 --> 35:57.405
We should do a jingle for... We should do a new piece of theme music for their show.

35:57.425 --> 35:59.727
We should sing them the Black Squadron music or something.

35:59.747 --> 35:59.967
Right.

36:00.508 --> 36:03.150
I'll try and think of some new music for their show, right?

36:03.210 --> 36:06.392
They can have that, and we can use... We can use Bla Boobadee Baya.

36:08.514 --> 36:10.336
We need to find out who composed that.

36:10.576 --> 36:12.377
Who composed Bla Boobadee Baya?

36:12.397 --> 36:15.720
I'd love to go to a live concert by then.

36:15.760 --> 36:16.121
Wouldn't you?

36:17.061 --> 36:18.562
I don't know what the album's like.

36:18.622 --> 36:21.184
For their encore they'd come out and they'd do that four more times.

36:21.364 --> 36:25.527
Anyway, message to Vine there and... Play Bla Boobity Blya!

36:25.747 --> 36:30.270
Let's keep an eye on the next series of points of view and see whether they stick with that music.

36:31.911 --> 36:35.233
I'm sick of playing Bla Boobity Blya, it's all anyone asks for.

36:35.253 --> 36:37.494
They're reforming the band!

36:37.515 --> 36:40.657
Oh no, we're gonna have to play Bla Boobity Blya again.

36:51.284 --> 36:52.125
Staring up

37:36.326 --> 37:46.470
Rough that blood out of the sky

38:30.566 --> 38:33.193
The future's all it feels to see

38:55.745 --> 38:59.072
All you need is a kiss

40:07.352 --> 40:12.460
The largest amount of pots, pans and kitchen implements ever used at once on a pop record.

40:12.480 --> 40:13.081
Did you know that?

40:13.362 --> 40:15.445
That was Kiss of Life by Friendly Fires.

40:15.906 --> 40:17.408
You invented that fact though, didn't you?

40:17.648 --> 40:17.849
Yes.

40:18.723 --> 40:20.425
That was an invented fact.

40:20.545 --> 40:22.187
We should have an invented fact jingle on this thing.

40:22.207 --> 40:23.408
We'd be playing it round the clock.

40:23.588 --> 40:25.230
That was an invented fact.

40:25.911 --> 40:28.553
That was based on spurious guesswork.

40:28.794 --> 40:29.755
Could be the other jingle.

40:29.895 --> 40:30.195
Yeah.

40:30.756 --> 40:33.739
Kiss of Life by Friendly Fires is the song we just play.

40:33.759 --> 40:39.005
Friendly Fires are presenting a show on Six Music this Sunday as part of our month of Mercurys.

40:39.965 --> 40:52.237
And they didn't win anything at the Mercurys, I'm afraid to say, but that hasn't stopped them, you know, putting their chin up, jutting their chin out and saying, never mind, there's always next year, there's always the chance we might get a Mercury nom next year.

40:52.377 --> 40:54.119
Who won the Mercury nom last year?

40:54.919 --> 40:57.402
Well, the big Mercury winners were Elbow, weren't they?

40:57.962 --> 40:58.543
Ah, were they?

40:59.003 --> 41:00.484
And this year it was speech to Bell.

41:01.184 --> 41:10.070
I mean Elbow was sort of well established before they won the Mercury, so there's no question of them fading from view the way some people who have won the Mercury Prize in the past have done.

41:10.231 --> 41:10.911
Have they really?

41:10.951 --> 41:13.433
Do some people consider it as a bit of a kiss of death?

41:13.993 --> 41:16.494
Well, it's a poisoned chalice for some people, isn't it?

41:16.554 --> 41:18.714
Who was the guy Ronnie Sighs and his represent?

41:18.934 --> 41:23.816
Right, you don't really want a probation from above, do you, if you're a rebellious pop type?

41:24.596 --> 41:25.196
No, exactly.

41:25.216 --> 41:26.957
You don't want to be formed prefect on the head boy.

41:26.977 --> 41:28.497
You don't want to be stroked by the head boy.

41:28.517 --> 41:30.398
You want to be at the back of the bus flicking V's.

41:31.058 --> 41:32.659
Well done, speech to Belle.

41:32.959 --> 41:33.419
Well done.

41:34.439 --> 41:37.440
All the chaps think you've done a brilliant job on your album.

41:37.460 --> 41:40.741
You're gobbing in the street as the best gobbing in the school.

41:41.221 --> 41:43.003
Well done with your Flemmy bits.

41:43.403 --> 41:46.687
You're a naughty chap, and we think that's great.

41:47.328 --> 41:48.249
Top marks!

41:48.509 --> 41:50.671
Here's a prize and a cheque to go with.

41:50.851 --> 41:53.874
We've given up, trying to get everybody to speak proper.

41:54.155 --> 41:56.858
From now on, the whole school gonna speak not proper.

41:57.398 --> 41:59.459
And you're going to be the leader of them.

41:59.839 --> 42:00.719
Wicked, well done.

42:01.119 --> 42:01.859
Grim, grim, grim it.

42:02.219 --> 42:03.300
Grim, grim, grim it.

42:03.480 --> 42:07.801
Listen, I'm not going to dress the same way as you just say, you know, or behave like you.

42:08.221 --> 42:11.022
Or actually listen to the records you're buying, making.

42:11.402 --> 42:12.783
But good job.

42:12.823 --> 42:13.483
There's the check.

42:13.703 --> 42:15.904
I want people to think I'm cool like you.

42:15.924 --> 42:16.984
Stand next to you.

42:17.384 --> 42:18.304
Give you a prize.

42:18.584 --> 42:20.325
Look at me disco dancing.

42:20.605 --> 42:22.966
Speech to Belle come round for dinner with me.

42:23.986 --> 42:28.828
That's what the head of the Mercury is, a little song he sung just backstage after he'd given her the prize.

42:28.848 --> 42:34.549
You know the people that decide the Mercury Prize, the nominees and the winners, are nothing like that.

42:35.029 --> 42:35.810
Freddie Mercury.

42:36.470 --> 42:38.050
It's nothing to do with Freddie Mercury.

42:38.510 --> 42:42.732
They're all young, intelligent, groovy people, nothing like the way we've just characterized them.

42:42.752 --> 42:44.132
It's another made up fact.

42:44.232 --> 42:45.873
It's another made up fact.

42:45.893 --> 42:49.013
You see, we just have to have that as a music bed, basically, not a jingle.

42:49.254 --> 42:50.534
Now, can you hear that I've got a cold?

42:50.914 --> 42:55.556
Yeah, listeners, Adam came in today looking very under the weather with a with a terrible cold.

42:56.016 --> 42:56.217
Yeah.

42:56.777 --> 42:57.877
I've got you're doing very well.

42:57.957 --> 42:58.578
I'm coming in.

42:58.898 --> 42:59.638
Got some medications.

42:59.958 --> 43:05.461
Well, I wasn't sure if I should come in because, you know, a few months back, it was a big deal on the news.

43:05.501 --> 43:08.342
It was like, well, if you've got a cold, should you go into work?

43:08.702 --> 43:15.306
And the consensus was no, you shouldn't, because it's putting your coworkers at risk of the pandemic.

43:16.546 --> 43:33.116
But then I thought the pandemic's over a little you just flinched well I said that very loud, and I suddenly had a sort of Medical flash you I should have covered my mouth with I could see the disease molecules flying through the air towards me covering my mouth with a medicated tissue I had a macro flash

43:33.416 --> 43:34.117
Is that better?

43:34.718 --> 43:35.318
Yeah, that's better.

43:35.358 --> 43:35.879
Keep talking.

43:36.059 --> 43:38.182
It's very ghastly because of the beard.

43:38.202 --> 43:39.883
I can't do that.

43:39.903 --> 43:40.544
That's ridiculous.

43:41.145 --> 43:42.907
But no, I did wonder if I should come in.

43:43.187 --> 43:48.253
But then on the other hand, the good thing about having a cold is that it does give a special quality to your voice, right?

43:49.414 --> 43:50.876
A special kind of a tambourine.

43:51.300 --> 43:52.160
Yeah, no, it's good.

43:52.220 --> 43:52.941
It's sounding good.

43:53.421 --> 43:54.641
I sound a bit like the lady.

43:54.741 --> 43:59.162
Who's the lady that does the sort of trails before our show starts?

43:59.202 --> 43:59.983
Can you play that thing?

44:00.003 --> 44:01.223
The sexy, bored one.

44:01.243 --> 44:01.983
The sexy one.

44:02.003 --> 44:03.524
She says everything the same way.

44:03.544 --> 44:04.244
I'm so bored.

44:04.404 --> 44:05.224
She is sexy.

44:05.284 --> 44:06.265
Six music.

44:06.385 --> 44:07.705
Today from two.

44:08.365 --> 44:09.125
John Holmes.

44:09.826 --> 44:10.206
Yeah.

44:10.226 --> 44:10.866
From midday.

44:11.466 --> 44:12.447
Liz Kershaw.

44:12.507 --> 44:12.827
What?

44:13.067 --> 44:14.928
And now, it's Adam and Joe.

44:14.948 --> 44:15.709
Who cares?

44:15.789 --> 44:17.130
She just talks like that.

44:17.150 --> 44:17.930
Stuff him down the toilet.

44:17.950 --> 44:18.711
All the time.

44:18.731 --> 44:19.131
Who cares?

44:19.151 --> 44:21.772
Listen darling, I'm going to the shops.

44:22.173 --> 44:23.393
Do you want anything?

44:24.194 --> 44:25.174
Actually hang on.

44:25.535 --> 44:26.075
Tonight?

44:26.395 --> 44:26.695
What?

44:27.036 --> 44:27.696
Half price.

44:28.276 --> 44:29.057
Fish fingers.

44:29.357 --> 44:29.757
Yeah.

44:30.157 --> 44:30.638
Yeah.

44:31.158 --> 44:32.879
Do you want fish fingers for tea?

44:33.439 --> 44:35.321
Okay, that's what we'll have.

44:36.021 --> 44:37.243
Do you want potatoes?

44:37.904 --> 44:38.685
Or broccoli?

44:38.705 --> 44:39.126
It's 7.15.

44:39.787 --> 44:40.388
Or both?

44:40.428 --> 44:41.329
The Bill!

44:41.349 --> 44:44.634
I don't know why she extended it there.

44:44.754 --> 44:45.635
I think she got stuck.

45:13.595 --> 45:36.529
I just can't convince myself I couldn't live with no one else And I can only play that part And sit and nurse my broken heart so lonely

46:28.105 --> 46:30.118
They're always free

48:29.762 --> 48:30.667
I feel all alone

49:26.198 --> 49:29.682
So Joe, MPs, expenses.

49:30.122 --> 49:35.147
Oh, I'm glad you bought this up because there hasn't been enough talk about this subject in the media.

49:35.187 --> 49:36.909
I know you like hot button topics.

49:36.929 --> 49:38.090
I love hot button topics.

49:38.711 --> 49:40.272
I saw Dervle Cohen.

49:40.292 --> 49:41.694
Do you know the actress Dervle Cohen?

49:42.174 --> 49:45.377
She was in Ballykiss Angel and she's a well-known TV actress.

49:46.298 --> 49:49.260
And she was on The One Show.

49:49.320 --> 49:50.460
Is it still called The One Show?

49:50.581 --> 49:50.861
Yes.

49:51.621 --> 49:54.923
With Adrian Childs and The Lady.

49:55.523 --> 49:58.885
And they were talking about MP's expenses and they just asked Dervle Cohen.

49:59.826 --> 50:02.527
And I thought maybe she'd come out with some kind of wishy-washy.

50:02.567 --> 50:03.148
Yeah, you know.

50:03.188 --> 50:04.008
Well, that's shocking.

50:04.048 --> 50:06.910
That's what I would come out with if I was asked about the TV show.

50:07.310 --> 50:08.412
She was absolutely adamant.

50:08.472 --> 50:10.755
She said, it's a disgrace.

50:10.915 --> 50:12.237
It's an absolute disgrace.

50:12.457 --> 50:13.398
We've been let down.

50:13.719 --> 50:15.541
I spent my whole life being honest.

50:15.821 --> 50:17.984
I never fiddled a single thing in my life.

50:18.485 --> 50:19.846
And I think it's shocking.

50:20.905 --> 50:23.708
And even Adrian Charles was like, well, you never fiddle anything.

50:23.948 --> 50:25.169
Not a single thing you've been dishonest.

50:25.370 --> 50:25.650
No.

50:26.291 --> 50:28.012
Came the answer from, she said it nicer than that.

50:28.032 --> 50:28.633
She didn't shout.

50:29.033 --> 50:30.315
But more, but her attitude was saying.

50:30.335 --> 50:32.437
Well, now I'm worried about you and Adrian Charles.

50:32.677 --> 50:32.917
Why?

50:32.937 --> 50:34.679
Because you clearly fiddled things.

50:34.779 --> 50:35.961
Have you not fiddled nothing?

50:36.261 --> 50:36.541
Never.

50:36.902 --> 50:37.342
Never.

50:37.422 --> 50:38.083
You're like Dervle Cohen.

50:38.103 --> 50:39.124
I've never fiddled anything.

50:39.144 --> 50:39.744
I don't believe you.

50:39.905 --> 50:40.605
I don't believe you.

50:40.725 --> 50:42.027
I do believe Dervle Cohen.

50:42.167 --> 50:42.968
I don't believe you.

50:43.128 --> 50:43.809
You are the fiddler.

50:44.349 --> 50:45.130
You're Johnny Fiddler.

50:45.650 --> 50:46.831
What thing to accuse me of?

50:46.871 --> 50:47.631
What's your evidence?

50:47.691 --> 50:49.672
You're the Yehudi Menuhin of life.

50:49.692 --> 50:50.332
Oh, I fiddled.

50:50.513 --> 50:51.473
You loved to fiddle.

50:51.553 --> 50:51.733
What?

50:51.773 --> 50:52.354
Where's your evidence?

50:52.454 --> 50:53.014
I don't know.

50:53.034 --> 50:53.814
I'm projecting.

50:53.834 --> 50:56.296
I fiddled lots of things.

50:56.376 --> 50:56.836
Clearly.

50:56.856 --> 50:57.477
Clearly.

50:57.497 --> 51:00.298
You've never taken, like, toilet paper from work?

51:01.039 --> 51:01.679
Uh, no.

51:01.879 --> 51:03.560
Bit of computer printing paper.

51:04.501 --> 51:04.941
Pens.

51:05.021 --> 51:06.162
Sometimes I steal pens.

51:06.202 --> 51:06.682
You're the Fiddler.

51:07.603 --> 51:08.964
Biro, is this that bad?

51:09.204 --> 51:09.424
Yes.

51:09.724 --> 51:12.087
Could an MP be thrown out of court for nicking up Biro?

51:12.147 --> 51:13.188
Definitely, definitely.

51:13.208 --> 51:14.248
What about a lighter?

51:14.629 --> 51:17.852
Sometimes I go home with other people's lighters in the past, I've done that.

51:17.872 --> 51:18.552
Public Apology.

51:19.353 --> 51:32.525
I hereby apologise unreservedly to listeners of the BBC Four in 1985 taking Chris Barnes' Bic lighter accidentally from his house.

51:32.833 --> 51:34.675
Now you've busted barns for being a filthy smoker.

51:34.695 --> 51:35.917
So I'm going to thank you for that.

51:35.937 --> 51:36.838
This was in the 80s.

51:37.078 --> 51:37.659
Yeah, well.

51:37.939 --> 51:39.020
Everyone smoked in the 80s.

51:39.101 --> 51:39.701
That's true.

51:39.721 --> 51:40.582
It was healthy back then.

51:40.602 --> 51:43.986
It was acceptable in the 80s.

51:44.167 --> 51:45.688
That's the only thing you've ever fiddled, is it?

51:46.569 --> 51:47.110
Pretty much.

51:47.330 --> 51:47.971
Never tried to.

51:48.151 --> 51:49.273
You are such a liar.

51:50.266 --> 51:51.487
I know I'm not a big fiddler.

51:51.788 --> 52:05.700
I'm not a big fiddler, but I'm you can't even look at me Well, I'm not looking at cuz I remember I'm starting to remember some of your fiddles What about the photographs that we've got of your fiddles all the good times that we used to have oh, okay?

52:05.720 --> 52:06.521
That was stealing

52:08.490 --> 52:09.851
That wasn't as subtle as fiddling.

52:09.871 --> 52:11.052
Fiddling's a nice word.

52:11.093 --> 52:12.354
That was just theft.

52:13.094 --> 52:17.979
I may have done some shoplifting in the 80s, but that's something that lots of kids go through.

52:18.099 --> 52:19.861
That's not true, and we're not encouraging it by any means.

52:19.881 --> 52:21.903
No, it's a terrible thing, but that's a bit different.

52:21.923 --> 52:25.226
That's a kind of rite of passage when you're discovering the nature of property and theft.

52:25.246 --> 52:26.728
You weren't shoplifting, though.

52:26.748 --> 52:27.028
Come on.

52:27.368 --> 52:27.748
That was.

52:27.768 --> 52:30.069
Kind of.

52:30.329 --> 52:31.549
Wasn't technically shocking.

52:31.929 --> 52:36.630
As a member of the big British car, you could even get thrown out retrospectively for admitting something like that.

52:36.710 --> 52:37.631
Something I did in 1986.

52:37.871 --> 52:39.151
Definitely, definitely.

52:39.691 --> 52:40.151
Come on.

52:40.611 --> 52:46.193
If they're putting people in prison with DNA evidence, you know, I mean that's murder obviously, it's slightly different.

52:47.393 --> 53:01.369
Yeah, they could retrospectively caution you, hang you out, because they don't... I can't believe that this link has ended up with me being forced into a criminal confession about petty shoplifting I did in the mid-80s.

53:02.831 --> 53:07.594
when it started out with MPs tax-fiddling, and now I'm on the ropes.

53:07.775 --> 53:15.240
See, this is a good example of me not... I didn't want you to confess to any grand larceny.

53:15.600 --> 53:18.842
I was interested in, like, pens... I've been skillfully manipulated.

53:21.084 --> 53:27.048
I've been skillfully manipulated by Sherlock... Buxton... into making a confession.

53:27.669 --> 53:30.671
We better play some more music before we're all fired.

53:39.344 --> 54:03.804
I wanna be rich and I want lots of money I don't care about clever, I don't care about funny I want loads of clothes and I want loads of diamonds I heard people die while they're trying to find them And I'll take my clothes off and it will be shameless Cause everyone knows that's how you get famous I'll look at the sun and I'll look in the mirror

54:47.372 --> 55:15.818
It's all about fast cars and crossing each other But it doesn't matter cause I'm packing plastic And that's what makes my life so fantastic And I am away from a massive consumption And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function I look at the sun and I look in the mirror I'm on the right track, yeah we're on to a winner I don't know what's right and what's new

55:34.650 --> 55:37.983
You say you can go without a feeling

55:55.455 --> 56:09.102
I forget about guns, I forget ammunition Cause I'm killing them all on my own little mission Now I'm not a saint, but I'm not a sinner Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner

56:41.425 --> 56:41.666
Oh.

57:19.671 --> 57:21.056
We'll be here with the people care

58:41.347 --> 59:03.665
world the time has come to push the button world the time has come to push the button world the time has come to push the button world my finger is on the button my finger is on the button

59:05.859 --> 59:09.370
My finger is on the button Push the button

59:52.125 --> 59:54.107
We're on top of the hour, you'll be glad to know.

59:54.147 --> 59:56.150
But we're not on top of anything else at all.

59:56.190 --> 59:57.631
Let's go to the ball.

01:00:41.989 --> 01:01:09.327
Sometimes you better off dead There's a gun in your hand that's pointing at your head You think you're mad, too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables in a restaurant In a West End town, call the police There's a mad man around, running down underground To a dive bar in a West End town In a West End town, a dead end world For the East End boys and West End girls In a West End town, a dead end world

01:01:10.080 --> 01:01:30.084
The eastern boys and western girls, western girls Too many shadows whispering voices, faces on persons, too many choices if, when, why, what

01:01:50.575 --> 01:01:55.389
The Eastern Boys and Western Boys

01:02:59.549 --> 01:03:24.248
Built to last in every city and every nation From Lake Geneva to the Finland Station Our western town, the dead end world Our western town, the dead end world Our western town, the dead end world Our western town, the dead end world

01:03:51.015 --> 01:03:55.378
A couple of weeks ago, was it a couple of weeks ago we did a little grunting masterclass?

01:03:55.678 --> 01:03:56.559
Yes, a couple of weeks, yeah.

01:03:56.699 --> 01:04:07.187
Yeah, I was harnessing Adam's skills as a screen actor to just take you listeners through some of the grunting skills that are required for performances in action films.

01:04:07.307 --> 01:04:09.829
That's good man, what was that?

01:04:10.709 --> 01:04:38.182
uh... that was lifting a manhole cover with a body lying across it yes very good very good important part of any actors repertoire to be able to grant for big screen movies but i'm i've always been fascinated by uh... the archers the radio four drama series are you a listener uh... i listen every now and then i'm more often i'm in a room when other people are listening or i catch the beginning and switch it off uh... but i do love the archers

01:04:39.122 --> 01:04:46.805
And it's occurred to me that there's a special skill required for acting in The Archers, similar to the skill of grunting for action films.

01:04:47.105 --> 01:04:52.408
In The Archers, it seems to me, moaning and sighing is very important.

01:04:52.428 --> 01:04:53.028
That's good.

01:04:55.179 --> 01:05:10.164
It seems to me when I listen to the archers on Radio 4 that they're constantly coming into a Roman sighing, making tea, and then sighing again, and then that's the end of the scene.

01:05:10.304 --> 01:05:12.925
That's the default tone of the archers.

01:05:13.045 --> 01:05:13.765
I think so.

01:05:13.825 --> 01:05:14.725
It's sort of ennui.

01:05:15.045 --> 01:05:19.787
It's something that permeates Radio 4 drama as a whole, is sort of abject sighing.

01:05:20.727 --> 01:05:22.249
It's a good way of emoting on the radio.

01:05:22.269 --> 01:05:39.402
Yeah, well it's important, you know, it's obviously you can't, there's nothing to look at, no face to express, so you've got to use the voice as a, I mean you know this Adam already as an experienced actor, you've got to use the voice as a tool in radio very particularly, but I don't know, maybe sometimes it gets a little bit much on the archers.

01:05:39.902 --> 01:05:41.343
There's a little bit too much sign.

01:05:41.363 --> 01:05:42.704
I wondered what would happen.

01:05:42.744 --> 01:05:50.688
For instance, if I took an episode of The Archers and removed everything but the sign, I wondered what that would sound like.

01:05:50.748 --> 01:05:51.328
So I'd done it.

01:05:51.648 --> 01:05:52.108
You've done it.

01:05:52.148 --> 01:05:52.649
Let's have a listen.

01:05:52.669 --> 01:05:53.749
Yeah, this is what it sounds like.

01:05:59.696 --> 01:05:59.956
Thanks.

01:06:01.177 --> 01:06:01.797
Anyway.

01:06:03.258 --> 01:06:03.398
Tom!

01:06:03.418 --> 01:06:04.259
I'm dead.

01:06:05.079 --> 01:06:05.900
Ready?

01:06:26.152 --> 01:06:28.613
Now you see it's not bad, is it?

01:06:28.913 --> 01:06:29.833
No, it sounds good, man.

01:06:29.853 --> 01:06:31.773
Because you've got ups and downs, peaks and troughs in there.

01:06:31.793 --> 01:06:32.553
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:06:32.673 --> 01:06:34.434
I mean, it starts off quite fruity there.

01:06:34.934 --> 01:06:38.735
Well, it sounds like quite a dirty evening in Cambridge, doesn't it?

01:06:38.755 --> 01:06:39.635
Cambridge, what's it called?

01:06:39.655 --> 01:06:40.275
Cambridge, right?

01:06:40.295 --> 01:06:40.455
Yeah.

01:06:40.955 --> 01:06:41.455
Cambridge.

01:06:42.055 --> 01:06:42.855
It's like Cambridge.

01:06:42.895 --> 01:06:43.656
Yeah, Cambridge.

01:06:44.596 --> 01:06:45.636
Yeah, no, that was nice.

01:06:45.716 --> 01:06:50.317
It starts off very, very saucy and then gets a little bit tiring and then

01:06:50.939 --> 01:06:52.380
Yeah, and then, ah, Tom.

01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:52.980
Annoying.

01:06:54.380 --> 01:06:55.741
Yeah, and then it sort of kicks off again.

01:06:55.961 --> 01:06:56.321
Yeah.

01:06:57.421 --> 01:06:59.062
But are you good at sighing there?

01:06:59.102 --> 01:07:00.282
Could you do that sort of sighing?

01:07:01.963 --> 01:07:10.326
What if just come in the door and say, you've come home from a busy day's work and you're just calling into the house to see if anyone else is there?

01:07:10.626 --> 01:07:10.666
Go.

01:07:13.217 --> 01:07:13.577
Hello!

01:07:13.597 --> 01:07:15.478
That's good you see.

01:07:15.859 --> 01:07:28.466
What about if the inspector has come to inspect the drainage systems on the farm and he's laid down a lot of new EU rules on how you're going to have to put the drainage down and you're telling your husband about all the new EU rules?

01:07:30.447 --> 01:07:33.209
Well there's a lot of new EU rules about the drainage.

01:07:35.257 --> 01:07:36.338
That's good.

01:07:36.378 --> 01:07:37.759
You really, you really did that one.

01:07:38.040 --> 01:07:40.022
I mean, I exhaled as much as I could.

01:07:40.122 --> 01:07:48.710
What about just, you've had a hard day and you've just had a sip of tea and you've put the tea cup down and this is a side that just expresses all the ennui in your life, you know.

01:07:49.510 --> 01:07:52.333
Okay, putting that, I'm gonna sip the tea first, right?

01:07:52.373 --> 01:07:53.834
Just to warn you, there'll be a sound effect for that.

01:08:03.398 --> 01:08:04.780
No, no, that was terrible.

01:08:04.800 --> 01:08:05.181
Too much.

01:08:05.301 --> 01:08:07.964
Yeah, that sounded like a horse doing a poo.

01:08:07.984 --> 01:08:10.386
You said everything, you said put everything in there.

01:08:10.507 --> 01:08:15.212
Yeah, but it came out as an incontinent foal, horse, stallion.

01:08:21.266 --> 01:08:24.708
I don't think anyone in Aimbridge would sip tea like that.

01:08:25.048 --> 01:08:25.928
Well, I'm doing it.

01:08:26.288 --> 01:08:27.409
I'm exaggerating.

01:08:28.009 --> 01:08:30.430
You're not a very good supportive director, I must say.

01:08:30.450 --> 01:08:33.311
Man, I can see you in one of the underworld films, yes.

01:08:33.852 --> 01:08:35.092
But not in the archers.

01:08:35.512 --> 01:08:36.233
You're too big.

01:08:36.633 --> 01:08:37.333
Too big?

01:08:37.413 --> 01:08:39.714
I think we need an actor or an actress from the archers.

01:08:39.754 --> 01:08:40.174
I can do subtle.

01:08:40.194 --> 01:08:41.475
I can teach you about sign.

01:08:46.017 --> 01:08:46.817
That's good, you see.

01:08:47.018 --> 01:08:47.918
That's better, isn't it?

01:08:48.238 --> 01:08:49.959
I mean, the drinking was still too much, but... Yeah.

01:08:50.618 --> 01:08:51.339
Anyway, there we go.

01:08:51.379 --> 01:08:55.423
That was a little glimpse into the secret world of the archers for you listeners.

01:08:55.543 --> 01:08:56.103
Music time?

01:08:56.143 --> 01:08:57.344
What about some joy division?

01:08:57.805 --> 01:08:58.926
This is Love Will Tear Us Apart.

01:09:53.112 --> 01:10:06.231
You'll never turn apart again Why is it that you're so broke?

01:10:06.312 --> 01:10:08.495
Turn away at night

01:10:34.163 --> 01:10:34.264
Oh

01:11:31.144 --> 01:11:45.341
One more time again One more time again One more time again

01:12:11.038 --> 01:12:17.526
We were talking the other day about songs that you kind of customise so that you can sing them as part of your everyday routine.

01:12:17.546 --> 01:12:24.073
This all started with someone saying that they sung, lock the taskbar, lock the taskbar.

01:12:24.394 --> 01:12:30.181
Only somebody emailed us in annoyed that we said it in a kind of posh voice and elongated the A.

01:12:30.621 --> 01:12:31.021
Oh, yeah.

01:12:31.061 --> 01:12:32.722
Because of course, it could be taskbar.

01:12:32.862 --> 01:12:34.302
Yeah, lock the taskbar.

01:12:34.422 --> 01:12:36.142
If you're from a different area of Britain.

01:12:37.103 --> 01:12:40.503
Well, that's how I'm quite angry in a in a class orientated way.

01:12:40.663 --> 01:12:40.943
Really?

01:12:41.144 --> 01:12:41.784
By email.

01:12:41.804 --> 01:12:42.044
Yeah.

01:12:42.184 --> 01:12:43.064
People do that, don't they?

01:12:43.084 --> 01:12:45.845
Said we were too posh to execute that joke properly.

01:12:46.125 --> 01:12:46.965
Tough luck, buster.

01:12:47.065 --> 01:12:47.325
Yeah.

01:12:47.485 --> 01:12:48.225
Socialist worker.

01:12:48.345 --> 01:12:49.666
Yeah.

01:12:50.086 --> 01:12:51.386
Well, we've got a couple more here.

01:12:51.546 --> 01:12:52.446
Some good ones have come in.

01:12:52.506 --> 01:13:00.028
Actually, this one is from Steve, aka Stephen, exclamation Mark Curran, the man at the very epicentre of the Stephen phenomenon.

01:13:00.168 --> 01:13:03.112
He's one of the founding stones of the show.

01:13:03.152 --> 01:13:05.915
He is the Rosetta Stone of this programme.

01:13:06.776 --> 01:13:15.386
Steve Curran says, when my flatmate and I are drinking red wine, we sometimes open the bottle a little beforehand to let it breathe.

01:13:15.486 --> 01:13:16.868
It improves the taste, of course.

01:13:17.288 --> 01:13:18.610
When we do this, we like to sing,

01:13:19.631 --> 01:13:24.917
Let it breathe, let it breathe, let it breathe, let it breathe.

01:13:25.098 --> 01:13:26.779
To the tune of Let It Be by The Beakers.

01:13:26.819 --> 01:13:27.340
That's good.

01:13:27.360 --> 01:13:27.580
Yeah?

01:13:27.941 --> 01:13:29.583
That's a posh one as well, I like that one.

01:13:30.063 --> 01:13:30.744
Let it breathe.

01:13:30.764 --> 01:13:32.506
They can hold hands and sing that one as well.

01:13:32.526 --> 01:13:33.747
Yeah, everyone could sing in unison.

01:13:34.588 --> 01:13:36.090
Well, that is so bourgeois, isn't it?

01:13:36.130 --> 01:13:39.274
While they're waiting for their wine to breathe a little bit, I love that.

01:13:39.894 --> 01:13:41.375
Here's one from Graham.

01:13:41.715 --> 01:13:46.917
He says I used to have a pair of blue boxes with pictures of wolves on them given to me by my mum.

01:13:47.317 --> 01:13:48.858
Mum gives the best pants, don't they?

01:13:48.938 --> 01:13:49.678
I love his mum.

01:13:49.878 --> 01:13:51.999
I mean, they always give good pants.

01:13:52.119 --> 01:13:54.159
Mums have just got a really good sense of pants.

01:13:54.280 --> 01:13:54.560
They really do.

01:13:54.580 --> 01:13:55.300
They're born with it.

01:13:55.660 --> 01:13:56.961
Yeah, it's true, isn't it?

01:13:57.001 --> 01:13:57.342
Yeah.

01:13:57.682 --> 01:13:59.323
Mums and p- they know their pants.

01:13:59.663 --> 01:14:00.084
A woman?

01:14:00.865 --> 01:14:04.067
Which I became very attached to, my wolf pants, says Graham.

01:14:04.588 --> 01:14:08.751
When donning them over the morning, I used to sing to the tune of Mr. Sandman.

01:14:08.771 --> 01:14:09.332
Mr. Wolf Pants?

01:14:11.073 --> 01:14:12.094
Show me your pants.

01:14:12.214 --> 01:14:13.155
Bong, bong, bong, bong.

01:14:13.195 --> 01:14:15.917
Make them a nice pair of blue shiny scants.

01:14:20.480 --> 01:14:22.382
Yeah, not sure what to say.

01:14:22.482 --> 01:14:22.822
Nothing.

01:14:23.182 --> 01:14:24.283
Mr. Wolfpens.

01:14:25.004 --> 01:14:26.445
Oh, show me your pants.

01:14:26.545 --> 01:14:27.466
Bong, bong, bong, bong.

01:14:28.647 --> 01:14:29.908
Mr Wolf Pants.

01:14:29.928 --> 01:14:30.769
That's good Graham.

01:14:30.969 --> 01:14:36.756
He says it used to amuse me no end and may actually have led to the early demise of some of my relationships.

01:14:37.076 --> 01:14:38.818
Worth it though I think and I miss them dearly.

01:14:39.519 --> 01:14:42.222
Is sad when a favourite pair of pants is no longer usable.

01:14:43.243 --> 01:14:54.611
Do you think he sung that when he was with a lady and maybe they were reaching an intimate moment in their relationship and he was dropping his drawbridges and the wolf pants?

01:14:54.631 --> 01:14:56.152
Do you think he would sing that at that moment?

01:14:56.492 --> 01:14:57.773
A Mr. Wolf Pants?

01:14:58.454 --> 01:15:01.216
Would that get a lady going?

01:15:02.122 --> 01:15:03.743
Would things continue as planned?

01:15:03.823 --> 01:15:05.624
You don't see that in many films, do you?

01:15:05.845 --> 01:15:06.505
Imagine though.

01:15:11.789 --> 01:15:16.292
Show me your pants.

01:15:16.532 --> 01:15:19.834
Make them a nice pair of blue shiny scans.

01:15:20.255 --> 01:15:22.816
Please turn on your magic beam.

01:15:22.836 --> 01:15:24.678
I just finished that bit for him.

01:15:28.480 --> 01:15:30.781
Um, I think that's, that would be a sexy scene in a film.

01:15:31.021 --> 01:15:37.724
Can you imagine though, if you met a girl and without prompting, she sang to you that song, you know?

01:15:37.924 --> 01:15:41.445
So you drop your trousers and she sees your wolf pants for the first time.

01:15:41.805 --> 01:15:44.126
And she just starts spontaneously singing.

01:15:44.707 --> 01:15:45.767
Mr. Wolf pants.

01:15:47.488 --> 01:15:49.428
A slightly sexy, breathy voice.

01:15:51.249 --> 01:15:52.470
She's really excited.

01:15:56.892 --> 01:15:58.133
That's far fetched, man.

01:15:58.153 --> 01:15:59.214
That's really far fetched.

01:15:59.254 --> 01:16:01.116
Yeah, but you would know that you found the one.

01:16:01.176 --> 01:16:06.160
Yeah, if that happened, you should just live on a desert island on your own, the two of you, forever.

01:16:06.240 --> 01:16:09.203
Your wolf pats would just explode off you with excitement at that point.

01:16:09.223 --> 01:16:09.463
Yeah.

01:16:26.513 --> 01:16:38.905
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under

01:16:47.521 --> 01:17:14.957
And from it she fled With every bubble she sank with a drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming so you better

01:18:00.666 --> 01:18:02.169
I'm so sorry.

01:19:00.746 --> 01:19:00.896
and f-

01:19:51.647 --> 01:20:15.942
Here's the bells for the jingles Who need the jingle bells I am Michael Caine He's walking there I'm afraid I don't know I see the thousand jumping from the windows This panic and I hear somebody

01:20:26.986 --> 01:20:37.860
I'm trying very hard to keep my fingers clean I can't remember tell me what's his name My name is Michael Caine

01:20:41.937 --> 01:21:07.617
And all I wanted was a word Of all to grant to keep And all I wanted was a word Of all to grant to keep This sound is laughing, it's another broken morning I see your shadow and call out to try and warn him He didn't seem to hear, just turn away

01:21:12.475 --> 01:21:18.259
Quiet, no fellow follows, points his finger straight at you.

01:21:19.620 --> 01:21:26.305
You have to say everybody sits right, yes, throw it all away.

01:21:45.447 --> 01:22:10.458
And all I wanted was a word Of all to grant to keep And all I wanted was a word Of all to grant to keep His face I remember him once, round and round and so There is no place we can't ever call his own This seems to jump at the sound of the phone

01:22:14.099 --> 01:22:41.834
Staring at the window, there's nothing we can ever do All he wanted was to remember You said you could remember his own name My name is Michael King And all I wanted was a word A phone to grab to hear And all I wanted was a word A phone to grab to hear

01:22:44.565 --> 01:23:04.457
And all I wanted was a word I fought to grab And all I wanted was a word I fought to grab to keep And all I wanted was a word I fought to grab

01:23:19.964 --> 01:23:27.110
Now, we had a few messages from people who had heard my voice on the Philippe Stark sort of, what would you call it?

01:23:27.310 --> 01:23:28.812
It's not really a documentary, is it?

01:23:28.952 --> 01:23:30.733
No, I don't think it is a documentary.

01:23:30.813 --> 01:23:33.255
It's one of those kind of eliminations, reality series.

01:23:33.315 --> 01:23:36.298
It's like a reality elimination thing, a little bit like the apprentice.

01:23:36.418 --> 01:23:39.601
It's a design apprentice, the apprentice for contemporary design.

01:23:39.781 --> 01:23:42.243
And it's on BBC, is it on Tuesday evenings?

01:23:42.643 --> 01:23:43.143
I don't know.

01:23:43.163 --> 01:23:43.964
Sometime around.

01:23:44.204 --> 01:23:45.705
It's a prime time proposition, though.

01:23:45.745 --> 01:23:47.145
It's like a nine o'clock thing.

01:23:47.226 --> 01:23:50.748
And he's a ridiculous over-the-top French design figure.

01:23:50.788 --> 01:23:52.649
He's also quite brilliant in the industry.

01:23:52.689 --> 01:23:53.689
You reckon he's brilliant, do you?

01:23:53.930 --> 01:23:58.993
Well, he's very, yeah, he is, because he's completely distinct and you can tell a Philip Stark thing.

01:23:59.033 --> 01:23:59.413
Can you?

01:23:59.913 --> 01:24:01.274
What's his most famous design?

01:24:01.694 --> 01:24:04.096
The Philip Stark golf ball, of course.

01:24:04.836 --> 01:24:05.597
Is that true?

01:24:05.657 --> 01:24:07.278
Yes, it is the triangle.

01:24:09.899 --> 01:24:16.104
Well, someone suggested the other day that I replace or fool around with the VO, because I do the voice-over, right?

01:24:16.124 --> 01:24:22.910
You do the voice-over, yeah, and it is disconcerting for... I mean, I sat down and watched it the first week it was on, and I realized it had your voice in it.

01:24:22.930 --> 01:24:24.731
I tried to do a serious one as well.

01:24:25.072 --> 01:24:29.455
Yeah, but it's hard not for it to be a bit funny, even when you try and do your serious voice.

01:24:29.475 --> 01:24:30.896
I was directed to be serious.

01:24:30.916 --> 01:24:31.717
Yeah, directed.

01:24:33.078 --> 01:24:45.167
But it's odd, and especially when we know that you do quite an outrageously peculiar French accent yourself, it does not sound dissimilar to Starks' outrageously peculiar French accent.

01:24:45.248 --> 01:24:50.351
Well, with that in mind, I've slightly retooled the first minute or so of the programme.

01:24:50.492 --> 01:24:50.872
Good one.

01:24:53.533 --> 01:24:59.116
World-renowned designer Philippe Starck has set out to find Britain's best young creative talent.

01:24:59.476 --> 01:25:11.542
Great design is all about the unexpected idea, like a bed made out of glass or a glass made out of glass and a bed.

01:25:11.663 --> 01:25:17.726
From hundreds of online applicants, he chose 12 to join his school of design in Paris.

01:25:17.786 --> 01:25:20.187
Bonjour, les ugly, pouvou la la.

01:25:20.387 --> 01:25:24.269
Now he's putting them through their paces to find the best of the best.

01:25:24.329 --> 01:25:25.389
I use the best of the best.

01:25:25.449 --> 01:25:25.809
Yes.

01:25:26.050 --> 01:25:26.630
OK, you stay.

01:25:26.830 --> 01:25:27.470
Thank you.

01:25:27.810 --> 01:25:31.492
One up-and-coming designer who's worthy of a place at his own agency.

01:25:31.692 --> 01:25:32.632
I am crazy.

01:25:32.812 --> 01:25:35.274
OK, I say what I think, because I'm a genius.

01:25:35.534 --> 01:25:36.294
Look at my nipples.

01:25:36.354 --> 01:25:36.714
Woo-hoo.

01:25:37.134 --> 01:25:40.376
So far, he has challenged them to rethink everything they know.

01:25:40.536 --> 01:25:42.537
OK, you know, mugs?

01:25:43.057 --> 01:25:43.477
Mugs?

01:25:43.877 --> 01:25:46.158
OK, for drinking the coffee, the tea?

01:25:46.719 --> 01:25:49.640
Rethink instead used a smashed hat of a tramp.

01:25:50.160 --> 01:25:53.103
He has praised their high moments, and slammed their low ones.

01:25:53.203 --> 01:25:55.485
And when students fail to meet his exacting standards,

01:26:06.855 --> 01:26:09.557
A return journey through the channel tunnel beckons.

01:26:09.838 --> 01:26:17.004
I want you to go out through the channel tunnel now like a big fart because that's what you are to me, a massive great fart of a person.

01:26:17.064 --> 01:26:21.467
Go, go away, get out of my sight, out of it now and take your lonely chair with you.

01:26:21.988 --> 01:26:22.989
That's a better program.

01:26:23.429 --> 01:26:24.029
Yeah, come on.

01:26:24.049 --> 01:26:25.050
It's a much better program.

01:26:25.511 --> 01:26:29.154
You know what I'd also like to hear is, is the voiceover done in that voice as well?

01:26:30.657 --> 01:26:31.457
One of the whole things.

01:26:31.737 --> 01:26:32.597
Waterfalls.

01:26:32.637 --> 01:26:33.558
Just insane.

01:26:34.638 --> 01:26:35.498
Frenchorama.

01:26:35.558 --> 01:26:38.219
And have instead of British students insane French students as well.

01:26:38.239 --> 01:26:38.319
Yeah.

01:26:38.339 --> 01:26:38.959
That was excellent.

01:26:39.059 --> 01:26:39.279
Thanks.

01:26:39.359 --> 01:26:40.099
Thanks for doing that.

01:26:40.159 --> 01:26:41.500
We need some music to recover now.

01:26:59.475 --> 01:27:07.750
I tried to, now I'm running out of lives It's the clear view when all your eyes get paid

01:27:36.536 --> 01:27:57.209
All the contradictions get me everything I want I'll let you know but I think it's gonna take a while It's a clear view, no one's waiting at the door A million letters, they couldn't make me change my mind

01:28:11.713 --> 01:28:29.873
Falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling Now you want it to be sitting by the waterfront I should be drifting far enough to reach the shore

01:28:34.491 --> 01:28:39.093
I know that I could live without it I think I'd better run, run, run, run

01:29:02.176 --> 01:29:17.971
You just gotta play the game, you gotta do it I think you better run, run Outside there's a box car waiting Outside the fan, let's do it

01:29:29.454 --> 01:29:39.101
I know the dirt it hangs Out by the box caught with him Take me way to nowhere to lay

01:30:16.984 --> 01:30:28.452
Big shake on the box coming Big shake to the land that's falling down It's a wind makes a pond stop blowing A big, big shake

01:31:24.431 --> 01:31:24.732
Wait

01:32:24.402 --> 01:32:26.935
Adam and Joe on 6 Music.

01:33:07.842 --> 01:33:15.611
Nothing for me Looking for the right trace You know you're wasting your time

01:33:20.111 --> 01:33:45.938
You're no friend of mine You plan your conversation To press the college bar Just talking about your mother And that is jack you all When you're political teacher And sacred college scum You spent on the world situation But just for a long time

01:33:52.201 --> 01:33:53.555
You know you're wasting your time

01:34:32.123 --> 01:34:35.044
Are you wasting your time?

01:34:35.184 --> 01:34:49.692
Working for the matrix You know that I'm mine Just working at your leisure To learn the things you don't need The promises you make tomorrow

01:34:57.466 --> 01:34:58.387
You know you

01:35:26.604 --> 01:35:28.425
That was the specials with Rat Race.

01:35:28.465 --> 01:35:29.306
Very nice to hear that.

01:35:29.326 --> 01:35:32.228
Don't know if you saw the specials playing on Jules Holland the other day, Joe.

01:35:32.308 --> 01:35:32.908
I did, yes.

01:35:33.889 --> 01:35:35.630
I mean, they performed very well.

01:35:35.650 --> 01:35:36.810
They're still sounding fantastic.

01:35:36.830 --> 01:35:40.373
But Terry Hall didn't look as if he wanted to be there in the sly test.

01:35:40.673 --> 01:35:42.074
Or do you think that that's just his shtick?

01:35:42.794 --> 01:35:46.596
I think he's always, you know, he's never been a sort of enthusiastic performer.

01:35:46.616 --> 01:35:49.858
That's part of his skill and his mood, isn't it?

01:35:50.038 --> 01:35:53.120
Right, he's got a kind of lugubrious demeanor.

01:35:53.140 --> 01:35:59.883
Yeah, that was always the sort of duality, if I may be so pretentious of their music, wasn't it?

01:35:59.903 --> 01:36:00.764
It's getting me hot.

01:36:01.084 --> 01:36:04.606
You know, they sung about slightly depressing things.

01:36:05.206 --> 01:36:07.587
But in a sort of cheerful, scar-y way.

01:36:07.607 --> 01:36:08.607
Upbeat way, yeah.

01:36:08.687 --> 01:36:11.468
But then with sort of gloomy, moody bass lines and stuff.

01:36:11.928 --> 01:36:15.189
I wanted to reach in and give him a little tickle and a hug.

01:36:16.029 --> 01:36:16.909
How would he have responded?

01:36:17.749 --> 01:36:18.189
I slack me away.

01:36:18.229 --> 01:36:18.609
I don't know.

01:36:18.649 --> 01:36:19.230
It's hard to tell.

01:36:19.250 --> 01:36:20.110
I think he would have liked it.

01:36:20.150 --> 01:36:22.510
I've met him once and he was very nice indeed.

01:36:22.691 --> 01:36:24.111
Well, there's no question that he's a nice fella.

01:36:24.631 --> 01:36:28.012
But as far as your performing persona goes, you know what I mean?

01:36:28.652 --> 01:36:29.152
But it's good.

01:36:29.172 --> 01:36:31.855
There's room for all kinds of moods, shades, colours.

01:36:32.155 --> 01:36:32.615
Who is there?

01:36:32.715 --> 01:36:33.296
You know, yeah.

01:36:33.836 --> 01:36:34.597
On the spectrum.

01:36:34.997 --> 01:36:35.858
On the pop spectrum.

01:36:35.978 --> 01:36:37.339
Yeah, absolutely true.

01:36:37.439 --> 01:36:40.081
Anyway, I was very happy to see them back again.

01:36:40.521 --> 01:36:41.262
They sounded great.

01:36:42.343 --> 01:36:45.686
And I tell you what I worry about on later... What do you worry about?

01:36:45.806 --> 01:36:47.647
...is Jules' presentational style.

01:36:47.667 --> 01:36:48.968
It's for characters.

01:36:49.008 --> 01:36:50.429
Oh, I'm about to say...

01:36:53.277 --> 01:36:54.638
It's becoming incomprehensible.

01:36:54.758 --> 01:36:55.858
It's a brilliant band.

01:36:56.078 --> 01:37:00.040
It's a fantastic noise.

01:37:00.700 --> 01:37:01.321
That's all right.

01:37:01.461 --> 01:37:03.742
All the key facts are there, the salient points.

01:37:04.962 --> 01:37:07.123
Brilliant band, exciting Jack Pinatae.

01:37:07.423 --> 01:37:08.884
He just seemed a bit drunk on that one.

01:37:09.484 --> 01:37:10.645
He gets a little bit drunk.

01:37:10.745 --> 01:37:11.685
No, he's too professional.

01:37:11.705 --> 01:37:12.546
No, he's too professional.

01:37:13.346 --> 01:37:14.527
He's just, that's his thing, man.

01:37:14.547 --> 01:37:15.288
He's not drunk.

01:37:15.608 --> 01:37:17.049
Yeah, definitely.

01:37:17.109 --> 01:37:17.790
He's definitely not drunk.

01:37:17.810 --> 01:37:20.432
He might have a little flute of champagne at the Hootenanny.

01:37:20.793 --> 01:37:20.993
Yeah.

01:37:21.113 --> 01:37:22.154
But the rest of the time, definitely.

01:37:22.174 --> 01:37:23.495
I think every day's a Hootenanny.

01:37:23.875 --> 01:37:25.297
For Jules.

01:37:25.597 --> 01:37:26.197
Wake up.

01:37:26.277 --> 01:37:27.939
It's a rare 24-7 Hootenanny.

01:37:27.979 --> 01:37:29.200
Bit of boogie woogie.

01:37:29.220 --> 01:37:29.861
Hootenanny.

01:37:32.042 --> 01:37:33.404
Again, alright.

01:37:33.804 --> 01:37:35.585
Ladies and gentlemen,

01:37:36.807 --> 01:37:39.371
We're gonna have some breakfast, this is the British Wonderful Baking Eggs.

01:37:40.192 --> 01:37:42.515
This is the cookie, over here's the cooker.

01:37:42.535 --> 01:37:45.039
It's brilliant, it's over here, you also have the toaster.

01:37:45.059 --> 01:37:48.885
As you know, it is based on the garden, these wonderful flowers from the garden.

01:37:50.765 --> 01:37:51.925
That's him in his kitchen.

01:37:52.025 --> 01:37:52.325
Yeah.

01:37:53.366 --> 01:37:54.266
I want to be there.

01:37:54.586 --> 01:37:55.166
This is my wife.

01:37:55.186 --> 01:37:56.207
This is my wife.

01:37:56.247 --> 01:37:57.647
My children's getting in the car.

01:37:57.667 --> 01:37:59.327
I'm bringing the car round my blossom car.

01:38:05.369 --> 01:38:06.729
I love it in Jules's world.

01:38:06.849 --> 01:38:07.410
It's brilliant.

01:38:07.470 --> 01:38:09.410
That's how he conducts his daily life.

01:38:09.450 --> 01:38:09.990
Every week.

01:38:10.350 --> 01:38:12.331
We should get him to do some links for the show, shouldn't we?

01:38:12.371 --> 01:38:13.691
Yeah, he's definitely going to now, isn't he?

01:38:13.971 --> 01:38:14.472
Definitely.

01:38:17.483 --> 01:38:19.286
He's on his way, right now.

01:38:19.346 --> 01:38:20.488
In his little Fiat Punto.

01:38:21.570 --> 01:38:22.050
You know what?

01:38:22.271 --> 01:38:27.138
I think we should do the top of our and then get into Texanation after a bit more music from New Order.

01:38:27.179 --> 01:38:27.619
How about that?

01:39:26.385 --> 01:39:29.009
I miss the school lights and the kids

01:40:26.180 --> 01:40:44.071
On this occasion it's not true Look at me, I love you I would like a place I could call my phone Have a conversation on the telephone

01:40:56.072 --> 01:40:57.907
all the time

01:41:50.111 --> 01:41:58.777
Just wait until tomorrow I guess that's what they wanna say Just be free

01:42:26.747 --> 01:42:35.794
I went on holiday to Spain and me and my lady partner, we booked a couple of nights in a very posh spa hotel.

01:42:35.894 --> 01:42:41.098
We thought we'd go posh at the beginning and then go a bit cheaper for the main body of the holiday.

01:42:41.118 --> 01:42:41.738
That's strange.

01:42:41.778 --> 01:42:42.899
I would do it the other way around.

01:42:42.999 --> 01:42:46.702
Well, we ended up spending the whole holiday in the spa.

01:42:46.822 --> 01:42:48.463
Yeah, because we didn't like the other place.

01:42:49.383 --> 01:42:52.684
Anyway, so when we first got there, we decided to book ourselves some treatment.

01:42:52.704 --> 01:42:54.005
Have you ever had that kind of thing?

01:42:54.045 --> 01:42:54.525
Yes, I have.

01:42:54.605 --> 01:42:56.925
Have you been to a spa and had a treatment?

01:42:57.226 --> 01:42:58.406
Yes, on my honeymoon.

01:42:58.466 --> 01:42:59.626
Have you had a massage?

01:42:59.766 --> 01:43:02.027
Yeah, and it really takes it out of thing.

01:43:02.067 --> 01:43:03.527
Have you had an elaborate massage?

01:43:03.567 --> 01:43:04.648
Certainly I have.

01:43:04.908 --> 01:43:09.529
Like, you know, exotic orange aromas of the Himalayas.

01:43:09.589 --> 01:43:10.329
Have the whole thing.

01:43:10.389 --> 01:43:12.010
I mean, it was everything but sensual.

01:43:12.130 --> 01:43:12.791
you know what I'm saying?

01:43:32.688 --> 01:43:34.009
avoidable sexy free song.

01:43:52.318 --> 01:43:55.741
Was your lady partner having the massage at the same time in the same room?

01:43:55.761 --> 01:43:57.903
She had hers before, but in a different room, right?

01:43:58.003 --> 01:43:58.724
In the same room.

01:43:58.764 --> 01:43:59.785
In the same room, but you weren't there.

01:43:59.805 --> 01:44:00.686
There was only one massage.

01:44:00.726 --> 01:44:02.267
It's very boutique, this place, Adam.

01:44:02.728 --> 01:44:03.709
It's one massage room.

01:44:03.809 --> 01:44:05.310
It was cleaned between massages.

01:44:06.051 --> 01:44:08.593
Anyway, I thought after this massage, I'm going to be so relaxed, I'll be unable to walk.

01:44:09.454 --> 01:44:13.918
But weirdly, the massage made me very tense for the following reasons.

01:44:14.779 --> 01:44:22.145
Reason one was the erotic nature of the massage, and I knew I was going to expose my naked body to this woman.

01:44:22.285 --> 01:44:23.146
Oh, totally naked.

01:44:23.206 --> 01:44:28.870
Well, it wasn't naked, but so I go into this little room, and the following sort of music is playing in the background.

01:44:28.890 --> 01:44:35.015
This isn't the real music, but I've attempted to recreate the sort of music in the massage room.

01:44:35.315 --> 01:44:36.236
Nice and new-agey.

01:44:36.396 --> 01:44:36.716
Thank you.

01:44:36.756 --> 01:44:39.238
Can you hear the Amazonian... Sure the birds.

01:44:40.179 --> 01:44:41.120
Oh, this chanting.

01:44:43.655 --> 01:44:44.696
Yeah, that was what was going on.

01:44:44.716 --> 01:44:45.897
Was that you chanting there?

01:44:45.937 --> 01:44:48.880
Well, that's me, but I'm just trying to capture the act like this.

01:44:48.900 --> 01:44:50.061
I love music.

01:44:50.122 --> 01:44:50.842
I genuinely do.

01:44:51.783 --> 01:44:52.824
So I go into this room.

01:44:52.864 --> 01:44:58.109
This music's playing this very lovely woman with black curly hair, all wearing sort of floppy black clothing.

01:44:58.690 --> 01:44:59.651
She's got limited English.

01:44:59.671 --> 01:45:00.572
She says, hello, sit.

01:45:01.613 --> 01:45:02.514
Please take off clothes.

01:45:03.486 --> 01:45:06.309
I go, okay, so I take off my clothes modestly, and she exits for that.

01:45:06.329 --> 01:45:07.150
Not all clothes!

01:45:07.410 --> 01:45:10.153
But she leaves me a tiny, tiny plastic bag.

01:45:10.894 --> 01:45:13.056
Very small, what one might call a dime bag.

01:45:13.416 --> 01:45:13.636
Right.

01:45:13.917 --> 01:45:15.758
With some sort of article of clothing in it.

01:45:16.119 --> 01:45:22.725
So she leaves the room, I unwrap the article of clothing, and it's the smallest little paper thong you've ever set your eyes upon.

01:45:22.885 --> 01:45:23.646
A thong!

01:45:23.926 --> 01:45:40.897
so I slip on this tiny thong completely naked now with a little piece of string going between my butox and a tiny little bag for my bits and bobbins at the front and I put this thing on and I feel very exposed I think I can't the woman can't come back into the room and see me like this

01:45:41.437 --> 01:45:42.939
So I wrap a towel around myself.

01:45:43.019 --> 01:45:44.241
She comes back in.

01:45:44.301 --> 01:45:45.843
She says, take off the towel.

01:45:46.323 --> 01:45:47.145
I take off the towel.

01:45:47.625 --> 01:45:49.307
Reveal my tiny little man packet.

01:45:49.848 --> 01:45:51.690
That's not in a state of interest.

01:45:51.911 --> 01:45:53.873
You might have to loop the massage music chains.

01:45:54.574 --> 01:45:56.477
So I'm feeling a bit compromised because of that.

01:45:56.497 --> 01:45:57.498
She starts giggling.

01:45:58.239 --> 01:45:59.340
She's repressed to smile.

01:45:59.941 --> 01:46:06.385
And I lay on the bed and my massage involved being covered in oils and then rubbed with salt.

01:46:07.205 --> 01:46:09.767
And then, yeah, it was like a chicken being prepared.

01:46:09.807 --> 01:46:10.147
Wow.

01:46:10.267 --> 01:46:12.429
And then she put some sort of herbal sauce on me.

01:46:12.449 --> 01:46:13.089
Coriander.

01:46:13.149 --> 01:46:15.330
And she was being very invasive.

01:46:15.631 --> 01:46:20.914
Well, not that, she'd been very un-invasive with the thumbs, but they did get very, very close to certain areas.

01:46:20.934 --> 01:46:21.754
To special places.

01:46:22.195 --> 01:46:22.935
And it was oily.

01:46:23.535 --> 01:46:25.537
So if she'd slipped, that thumb would have gone right up.

01:46:26.077 --> 01:46:26.277
Yeah.

01:46:28.238 --> 01:46:30.180
I mean, it was within seconds of happening.

01:46:30.240 --> 01:46:31.882
Well, she's a professional, so she's not gonna let that happen.

01:46:31.902 --> 01:46:33.243
Does that sort of thing happen to you?

01:46:33.263 --> 01:46:33.864
Not on a regular basis.

01:46:33.884 --> 01:46:34.664
It's never, no.

01:46:35.005 --> 01:46:37.547
But it did, I mean, I know what you mean, the massage I had.

01:46:37.567 --> 01:46:38.768
I mean, it was extreme.

01:46:38.788 --> 01:46:40.990
It's an injury away from danger, at all points.

01:46:41.050 --> 01:46:42.632
But listen, how did you feel afterwards?

01:46:43.853 --> 01:46:45.934
Well, let me just get to a moment in the middle.

01:46:45.954 --> 01:46:51.659
I was lying on this bed, I was lying on a sheet of plastic covered in oil and salt and herbs.

01:46:52.019 --> 01:46:57.243
And then she wraps me up in this plastic because that's part of the, you know, treatment.

01:46:57.284 --> 01:47:00.406
She props you in the oven and she says, I leave for 10 minutes.

01:47:00.846 --> 01:47:01.807
You lie, relax.

01:47:02.348 --> 01:47:08.453
So I left, she left the room and I was lying there wrapped in plastic covered in all these things, listening to the massage music.

01:47:09.413 --> 01:47:12.536
Who's paid up the massage music for a bit to try and recreate that moment?

01:47:15.259 --> 01:47:18.260
And for about a minute I felt really relaxed.

01:47:18.600 --> 01:47:18.841
Yeah.

01:47:20.061 --> 01:47:21.802
But then I started to feel like an idiot.

01:47:22.562 --> 01:47:24.843
Like this was the stupidest thing to be doing.

01:47:25.303 --> 01:47:32.867
Lying wrapped in plastic in a tiny little room completely on my own listening to like insane... Good music, I like music.

01:47:32.887 --> 01:47:33.427
Good music.

01:47:33.527 --> 01:47:35.067
It's a good Amazonian chanting.

01:47:35.087 --> 01:47:35.508
Sure it is.

01:47:36.704 --> 01:47:37.445
That's the end of the story.

01:47:37.485 --> 01:47:45.370
She came back in, I unpeeled my plastic, I had a shower, washed it all off, and I sort of felt weirder and more tense than I did when I went in.

01:47:45.690 --> 01:47:59.579
Yeah, did you, did you, because the thing that can happen with a massage, like a really amazing massage, is that afterwards you feel totally drained, and it brings like a lot of toxins out of you, I don't know what exactly it does to you, but you feel much worse than you did before you went in, like for a day.

01:47:59.879 --> 01:48:01.520
Tell you the other things she did.

01:48:01.940 --> 01:48:04.262
She massaged my face, and I didn't know what

01:48:04.582 --> 01:48:06.103
expression to have on my face.

01:48:06.263 --> 01:48:06.723
Do you know what I mean?

01:48:06.743 --> 01:48:08.604
Because my eyes are closed and hers are open.

01:48:09.024 --> 01:48:11.065
I wanted her to think I was really relaxed.

01:48:11.605 --> 01:48:13.426
So I tried to look as relaxed as possible.

01:48:13.826 --> 01:48:17.087
Then she starts massaging my face in such a way that it opens my mouth.

01:48:20.229 --> 01:48:20.849
Like that!

01:48:21.249 --> 01:48:22.690
So I'm making silly little noises.

01:48:25.798 --> 01:48:25.998
What?

01:48:26.038 --> 01:48:27.239
He's massaging my face!

01:48:27.759 --> 01:48:32.661
Anyway, this whole very serious ritual, to me, was just like a comic assault course.

01:48:32.681 --> 01:48:37.763
That's the other thing that can happen, is you can get the giggles after Garth was telling me about when he got a massage.

01:48:38.303 --> 01:48:41.284
He just started laughing hysterically, and he couldn't stop.

01:48:41.324 --> 01:48:43.705
Like, every single touch he was just howling with laughter.

01:48:44.425 --> 01:48:49.409
and they weren't able to administer the proper massage in the end because he was incapacitated by chuckles.

01:48:49.649 --> 01:48:50.109
I got hurt.

01:48:50.149 --> 01:48:51.831
It hurt me quite badly as well.

01:48:51.911 --> 01:48:52.151
Yeah.

01:48:52.191 --> 01:48:53.892
Her thumbs were really causing me pain.

01:48:53.912 --> 01:48:55.933
I didn't want to say anything because I thought it would be unmanly.

01:48:57.214 --> 01:48:58.996
It was unmanly for you to go and get the massage in the first place.

01:48:59.016 --> 01:49:00.216
In the first place, wasn't it?

01:49:00.256 --> 01:49:00.537
Yeah, it was.

01:49:00.557 --> 01:49:02.158
It was expensive as well.

01:49:02.518 --> 01:49:02.858
I bet.

01:49:04.079 --> 01:49:07.122
That was nice, I was relaxing just hearing the story and hearing the music.

01:49:07.142 --> 01:49:07.282
Thanks.

01:49:07.302 --> 01:49:16.671
Yeah, we might put my massage music up on the blog as well, and then if you want to do an erotic massage with your partner, you will have some inauthentic Amazonian rainforest trance.

01:49:16.691 --> 01:49:17.352
Send us the video.

01:49:17.372 --> 01:49:20.175
Do you mind if I just do a little massage on you during this next song?

01:49:20.195 --> 01:49:20.575
Not at all.

01:49:20.695 --> 01:49:21.236
Passion pit.

01:49:21.256 --> 01:49:22.037
Can you do the balls?

01:49:23.118 --> 01:49:23.618
Of your feet.

01:49:24.159 --> 01:49:24.719
Yes, certainly.

01:50:16.416 --> 01:50:30.942
I wish for the same of things That turned me inside out

01:50:52.053 --> 01:51:19.025
I'm prying from my scars Nowhere to see I wish for you Feels the way I told you I'd always be with you Never have I ever been Clutching at your hand To cure you absent still But that's the kind of state I'm in

01:51:20.804 --> 01:51:23.151
Swimming in a pool of garbage

01:51:46.596 --> 01:52:03.223
I cried, I cried, you did me in the dark I felt a heart, I heard it from a cry, you got my spot And that's why I didn't want to be so princely, I wish we all could be used away

01:52:27.359 --> 01:52:44.862
What if I don't want to?

01:52:44.942 --> 01:52:46.843
But I'm using email, is that a problem?

01:52:46.883 --> 01:52:47.723
It doesn't matter, text!

01:52:50.253 --> 01:52:57.298
These are some responses to Text the Nation which is all about interviews or auditions and awful experiences you've had therein.

01:52:57.658 --> 01:52:58.979
This is from Simon in Wimbledon.

01:52:59.340 --> 01:53:01.901
I had an interview for an engineering firm last year.

01:53:02.262 --> 01:53:07.025
Partway through my phone rang but luckily it was on silent and only vibrating.

01:53:07.546 --> 01:53:14.571
I tried shifting my leg to move the phone deeper into my pocket to reduce the sound of the buzzing but in doing so answered the phone.

01:53:15.311 --> 01:53:18.853
It was my mother, and I also put it on speakerphone accidentally.

01:53:18.873 --> 01:53:19.674
What a loony!

01:53:20.094 --> 01:53:22.415
All so, all with my dexterous right thigh.

01:53:22.736 --> 01:53:23.076
Hello!

01:53:23.096 --> 01:53:24.857
Simon, are you there?

01:53:24.877 --> 01:53:25.457
It's Mummy!

01:53:26.058 --> 01:53:26.698
said the voice.

01:53:27.459 --> 01:53:31.421
Needless to say, the rejection letter I received three days later was very polite.

01:53:31.601 --> 01:53:35.262
Well, you don't want to work for a firm that's going to reject you on the basis of a mummy corp.

01:53:35.342 --> 01:53:35.682
I know.

01:53:35.762 --> 01:53:38.343
You would be hired instantly by the Adam and Jo Corp.

01:53:38.503 --> 01:53:39.083
Absolutely.

01:53:39.123 --> 01:53:40.704
Just for you still using the word mummy.

01:53:40.744 --> 01:53:41.644
You'd be right in there.

01:53:41.684 --> 01:53:42.804
Yeah, you'd be made MD.

01:53:43.544 --> 01:53:45.465
Like, that's one of our application criteria.

01:53:45.565 --> 01:53:45.925
Exactly.

01:53:46.245 --> 01:53:50.306
Do you call your parents mum and dad or mummy and daddy?

01:53:50.946 --> 01:53:52.887
And they'll get all confused and they'll think, oh, I don't know.

01:53:52.907 --> 01:53:53.867
That's the right answer.

01:53:53.927 --> 01:53:55.428
Mum and dad probably is the coolest thing.

01:53:55.828 --> 01:53:56.288
Mum and dad.

01:53:57.148 --> 01:53:58.550
Thank you very much for coming in.

01:53:58.710 --> 01:53:59.691
Get out!

01:54:00.372 --> 01:54:01.874
Here's another one from Mariel.

01:54:01.954 --> 01:54:06.138
She says, at the end of an interview which I thought had gone well, the interviewer got up to say goodbye.

01:54:06.519 --> 01:54:08.641
He stood uncomfortably close to me.

01:54:09.062 --> 01:54:11.384
So I thought, oh, he's going to kiss me.

01:54:12.406 --> 01:54:12.786
What?

01:54:13.006 --> 01:54:14.128
OK, just go with it.

01:54:14.168 --> 01:54:14.908
Don't be uptight.

01:54:14.969 --> 01:54:15.930
It's all very media.

01:54:16.811 --> 01:54:17.592
So I kissed him.

01:54:20.173 --> 01:54:24.416
Only to look down to see his outstretched hand waiting to shake mine.

01:54:24.616 --> 01:54:25.356
Do I kiss that too?

01:54:25.376 --> 01:54:27.878
It still makes me cringe three years on.

01:54:28.758 --> 01:54:29.819
Well done, Mario.

01:54:29.959 --> 01:54:33.961
Again, you would have got the job at the big British castle instantly.

01:54:33.981 --> 01:54:38.404
We've got more than you bargained for, probably.

01:54:38.424 --> 01:54:39.444
At that very interview.

01:54:39.464 --> 01:54:40.265
Hello.

01:54:40.525 --> 01:54:42.706
Hey, you're our kind of girl.

01:54:43.307 --> 01:54:46.308
Now, you're not the kind of person who causes trouble, are you?

01:54:49.110 --> 01:54:51.532
That's our rigorous interview procedure.

01:54:52.472 --> 01:54:54.854
Here's one from an anonymous texter.

01:54:54.914 --> 01:54:58.416
I'm a casting director and have had many difficult audition times.

01:54:58.877 --> 01:55:07.042
One particularly awkward audition I recall was when I was working with a very well-known director who asked an actor the typical question, so what have you done recently?

01:55:07.402 --> 01:55:10.824
To which the actor replied, no, you first.

01:55:11.305 --> 01:55:14.287
Needless to say, he didn't get the job.

01:55:14.447 --> 01:55:15.027
That's great.

01:55:16.628 --> 01:55:21.793
You might as well, if you kind of sense you're not going to get the job, you might as well... Because then you get a reputation.

01:55:21.833 --> 01:55:29.840
Because the reason these casting directors are so eccentric and difficult is they're not many of them and they're enormously powerful.

01:55:30.240 --> 01:55:38.027
There's four or five really famous casting directors in London who American studios hire to see actors, and they're megalomaniacs.

01:55:38.547 --> 01:55:41.750
I mean, I'm never going to beget an acting job now that I've said that.

01:55:41.770 --> 01:55:44.012
They've got maybe a distorted sense of power, possibly,

01:55:44.472 --> 01:55:44.752
Yeah.

01:55:44.852 --> 01:55:46.772
I'm sure some of them are very nice and lovely.

01:55:46.792 --> 01:55:47.573
Some of them are lovely.

01:55:47.593 --> 01:55:47.973
They are.

01:55:47.993 --> 01:55:48.553
They're brilliant.

01:55:48.593 --> 01:55:49.393
They're brilliant people.

01:55:49.433 --> 01:55:50.793
Well, the guy I had yesterday was amazing.

01:55:50.813 --> 01:55:51.753
He was amazing.

01:55:52.053 --> 01:55:52.894
He was nice.

01:55:52.974 --> 01:55:54.554
But no, sometimes they're brutal.

01:55:54.614 --> 01:55:56.634
I mean, you hear all sorts of stories.

01:55:56.754 --> 01:56:01.815
There's an actor friend I had the other day who was... That came out wrong.

01:56:02.155 --> 01:56:03.315
There's an actor friend I know.

01:56:03.375 --> 01:56:04.316
I didn't have them.

01:56:05.336 --> 01:56:10.077
And they were telling a story about doing an audition where the casting director was just flicking through like a copy of Heat.

01:56:10.517 --> 01:56:10.877
Really?

01:56:10.937 --> 01:56:11.117
Yeah.

01:56:12.257 --> 01:56:37.427
and that's a cattle call you know that's no good here's another one from Kate who says an interviewer asked me when you were a child what did you want to be when you grew up i truthfully answered a fairy she looked appalled so i hastily corrected well queen of the fairies she looked so shocked that i started giggling and couldn't stop i didn't get the job an executive fairy

01:56:40.246 --> 01:56:45.230
in charge of a large department of a fairy task force.

01:56:45.670 --> 01:56:46.751
Here's one from Tamzin.

01:56:47.031 --> 01:56:48.352
Aggregating fairy power.

01:56:48.633 --> 01:56:56.699
I had a fit of giggles in my first job interview many years ago, when the interviewer asked me if I saw myself having a quote, big job in the future.

01:57:00.081 --> 01:57:00.522
Oh dear.

01:57:00.722 --> 01:57:04.425
Lindsay Norwich, who supplies her age, 31.

01:57:04.845 --> 01:57:08.147
When I was 18, I went to an interview for the role of campsite person.

01:57:09.208 --> 01:57:14.649
I was asked what my worst characteristic was, to which I replied, sometimes I get a bit angry.

01:57:14.689 --> 01:57:18.610
I've never worked on a campsite.

01:57:18.850 --> 01:57:21.751
These are very good.

01:57:22.091 --> 01:57:26.972
It's the understatement that really sells that, isn't it?

01:57:26.992 --> 01:57:35.994
The snow's coming down I'm watching it fall

01:57:39.505 --> 01:58:07.286
Baby, please come home With church bells in town There'll rain a song But a happy sound Baby, please come home They're singing deck the halls But it's not like Christmas at all

01:58:16.155 --> 01:58:32.814
Pretty lights on the tree I'm watching them shine You should be here with me here Baby, please come home

01:59:09.769 --> 01:59:36.154
But it's not like Christmas at all I remember when you were here And all the fun we had last year When there was a ride I'd hold back these tears

02:00:01.309 --> 02:00:01.436
babies.
