he had us at hello after a career spanning over 40 years he is still the

biggest movie star in the world now unrecognizable in the biting new satire

digger it is mr tom cruise

My competition winners.

We got to meet Tom Cruise!

Actually, no, Florence, you met Tom, was it yesterday you met Tom? Just

yesterday. OK. In the corridor.

Lovely. It was wonderful.

We were promoting, she's got her movie, East of Eden, I went up and said hello,

she was in the middle of interviews, I left my interviews, they were like,

where did he go? It was quite the, like, caffeine boost, actually, meeting you in

the corridor. I was like, oh, my God.

I've got to talk about my show now. And actually, oh, my God.

I was doing interviews with Mike Feist, who's also in the show, and after each

interview, we'd both look at each other and be like, are you still thinking

about Tom Cruise?

That's very nice. And did you get to thank Tom? Because Tom has kind of

influenced you in a way.

Yeah. I mean, there was a lot of people standing around and all I kind of was

like jittering was like, you're my hero.

But yeah, no, you hugely inspired me and influenced me to just like push myself

further in all of the stunts that I do.

What an amazing thing that we all get to witness.

This man does it and makes movies so much better for it. It's so cool.

Because here's the thing. So, Tom, you went to the top of the highest building

in the world. We've got a picture of you. There you are, sitting on the top

of that building.

No shoes, very casual.

But here's the thing, I don't know if you know this, Florence has jumped off

the second highest building in the world. Yeah, well you took the first the

highest here you are. This is for that. That is it.

Oh Wow, I saw this front Beautiful

you record with that didn't you?

Yeah, technically I haven't got the badger anything

Here's the thing, when you want to do those stunts, when you want to do those

big stunts, is it because of Tom that you're able to do those stunts? Oh, no,

I was... They 100% did not want me to do that at all.

And at some point during the shooting schedule, I, like, bound up to Jake and

I was like, yeah, so this jump, we should probably discuss it. It's only,

like, a month out. And he was like...

we're not going to make you jump off the second tallest building in the world.

And I was like, why?

And he was like, because we can't ensure that. Like, you're our lead actress.

And I was like, but Tom does it!

And it really was like... I used that again and again and again and again. And

it worked!

Now, talking of stunts, Jon Bishop, I cannot help but notice, you...

You have an injury? He's so competitive.

What happened?

I was riding my motorbike off a mountain and the parachute didn't work.

It can happen.

It's nearly as good, I was riding my motorbike with Tim Peake, I don't even

know Tim Peake, he's our astronaut.

So I was...

I was out riding a motorbike with Tim Peake, he was taking me off-road riding,

and I basically made the mistake, went through a puddle and... I ended

up with my face in a bush, which used to be the brilliant end to every story.

And my foot was just caught under the bike, so it was just a nasty space.

But it was so embarrassing.

I mean, he came into his restroom before and I was talking about when, Mission

Impossible, you broke your leg, and he went, yeah, I didn't wear one of them.

That's what I said. I didn't say it like that. I said I was trying to help you.

Trying to inspire you, trying to make you feel better. Yeah.

I'd finish the movie running across, but if you want to wear that, you will.

But did you break your ankle?

Yeah, it's broken. Oh, it is broken, OK.

Three weeks ago, so it's taken time. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Listen, if I was getting $100 million for the film, I'd run across the bridge.

Now,

we know, we know that Lolli Adafope knows Tom Cruise because, of course,

you're co-stars. Yes.

You co-starred in Mission Impossible.

Yeah, I was sort of lead and supporting. Yeah.

Your chemistry... You are... Yeah, your chemistry on screen together is

palpable. I think we've got the clip. This is Lolli and Tom together in

Mission Impossible Fallout.

It's pretty good.

Here we go. There's Tom.

This is the famous scene.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

But wait.

There she is!

Thank you.

Thank you.

We did it. We did it.

We rehearsed for six months. Are those your legs, Tom? Of course they're my

legs.

Those are my legs. Now...

That's when it happened. Mm-hmm. Okay. I distracted yeah with my stick with my

screen presence I was running

and I could see her performance and it was so distracting It

was more it was a very elegant I

was like that

Yeah, yeah.

Boom! Then came the wall. I'm sorry. No, I know. That's why I'm here, too. I

know. Actually, joking aside, did you meet?

We met very briefly, I don't know if you'd remember. Yeah, I do. We were in a

Lyft. Yep.

In the hospital.

LAUGHTER An air ambulance.

And the hair and make-up person said, Tom, doesn't her hair look great? And

you said... It looks great. I know, it distracted me. And you remember that? It

distracted me.

You distracted me. But I say also congratulations on everything.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Women at best.

Beautiful.

Really, truly, truly beautiful.

But forever, we are forever connected from that moment. Exactly. Your

performance, my broken foot.

Yeah, yeah.

And, listen, we'll move on, because Tom Cruise brings us a very different movie

tonight. It is called Digger. It's in cinemas from next Friday, October 2nd,

and I've been lucky enough to see it. It is an amazing film. It's such a special

film. God, you're good in it.

So, you play Digger. Yes. So, tell us about Digger, whatever you can tell us

about the movie. OK, I'll just say, well, he's outrageous, he's

unpredictable. He says things that I guess some people might think and never

say. Some people, they go, I never thought to say that.

Please don't say that. I can't even believe he said that.

He is an outrageous character. He's this crazy...

billionaire who makes a horrible mistake and almost destroys the world as we know

it. Yeah. So it's just this timeless story about power, greed, ego, framed in

a very timely manner by Alejandro Iñárritu. He's a brilliant filmmaker.

I've always wanted to work with him. And it's... Well, anyway. Yeah, he's

outrageous. It's great. He's outrageous. I have, like, this ten-minute monologue.

It's all one take.

It's just one shot.

Which is... Munch, that was so fun. As an actor, you're like going, oh, please.

Yeah, yeah.

Please.

It's funny you're doing that because we're about to watch that clip. Oh, is

that right?

We're about to watch the clip from the start of the movie.

This is Digger on the phone getting the first inkling of the coming crisis.

I played ball in school.

Only game my granddaddy came to, I hit a home run over the fence by 20.

On the car ride on the way home, my granddaddy said, I don't give a shit

about your home run, Digger. Anyone can get a home run.

Triples is what's impressive.

Triples requires hustle.

And hustle, Digger, is something that you sorely lack, you little lazy piece

of shit.

Hello? Mr.

Rockwell, my name is Sandy Clarkson. I'm the Deputy Regional Head of

Environmental Security for the drilling facility up here in 79 North Glacier.

Yeah, Sandy, Sandy, I know where you're from.

How you been, buddy? I didn't think you'd remember me, sir. Oh, of course I

do. Sandy Clarkson, you're the man with the five-foot crack. We spoke five

months ago.

Uh, it was two weeks ago. Sandy, I'm glad you brought it up, because I've

been thinking about your five-foot crack for a while now, and here's my take.

A glacier over there in Greenland, it shifts five feet. Now, this desk in

front of me is bigger than five feet. But Mr. Rockwell... My dick is a tenth

of that size.

So what do you want me to do, Sandy?

Shut down a billion-dollar platform over something that's ten times the size of

my dick?

I feel like it's been a while since we've seen you do, like, a big acting

part like this.

Was it lovely to get back to? Oh, my gosh. Look, I... I've never read a movie

like this. I've never seen a character like this in film. I've never read it. I

mean, any actor, it's like one of these moments, you're just going, I've never

seen it in film before. You would love it. Oh, my God. You guys would love to

play this character.

I think you'd like it too.

Got to talk about the prosthetics. The prosthetics... So, is any of it you?

I just want to tell you... That's me.

No, no, I just wondered. No, I just want to... Let me make it clear, none of it's

me. I mean, none of it.

There's a shot that you might not want to see. It's not me.

But I tell you it's but this is this is so Tom Cruise so we've had people on the

show You know, they come on the top aesthetics and they moan. Oh, it was you

know, six hours was eight hours So that I'm to you but no we can improve this.

So how did you Tom Crucify the prosthetics? Okay, I'll tell you quickly

So we're doing like there's 24 hours in the day. You all know what this like you

go into prosthetics. It's six hours I'm going to okay. That's 18 hours. We shoot

for 12 hours That's down to yeah Where's my tape?

Six hours.

OK, two hours to take it off, now that's four hours. OK, plus I have other jobs.

I'm shooting Mission Impossible while I'm shooting this. Oh, wow.

And it's also, I like being on set.

You know, I want to be with everyone.

You know, you've worked with me, you know. Yeah, he's always that.

You can't get rid of them. He'll be in the hair and makeup.

Doing the catering.

Facilities. Outside the window when you're trying to act.

Outside, you're trying to act and someone is bothering you.

And basically, so I... There were, like, six hours. I said, so... I liked looking

at it, so what I did was, is I said, listen, we're going to get it down to an

hour. These are brilliant makeup artists, by the way.

And they all just kind of looked at me. I was like, no, we can do it. They were

like, I don't think so. I said, well...

First of all, let's say maybe.

Let's agree to maybe.

Because if you say you're not going to do it, you're not going to do it. So

what I did was I got a stopwatch, and we just... I put on each part every day how

they did it faster and faster.

So, eventually, and they kind of practised, you know, and it became a

ballet, how they worked.

Everything was in place and we got into under an hour without compromising the

quality of the film and their exceptional make-up. Wow.

I love the idea of trying to do your work while Tom Cruise has a stopped

watch.

But then they started getting into it, you know, I was like come on Formula One

Have you seen NASCAR, you know, yes, that's where I said Formula One NASCAR.

It's like we can do this Yeah, you can do this. Let's go. And so they basically

got it down down to that time Yeah, because we always remember you as a Les

Grossman in Tropic Thunder. So fun Is

it is it true you

still you still have those arms

Absolutely Like this cuz Ben and I have known Ben forever.

I was like look man. I want to play this character I got a fat hands and I'm

gonna dance So

he's like, what do you mean? What are you talking about? Let me just do it for

you. Let me just do it for you cuz what's the deal with the fat hands? I

said no, I know it's guy got a fat hands and you know, and I got a you know

So... The actors on Digger, they would say, go ahead, do the dance.

They do stuff like, I'm always taking singing lessons and dance lessons and

learning different forms of dance and music all the time. I'm always training

in something, always.

You know, whether it's motorcycles or cars, planes, jets, parachutes, you

know. But I like doing that, and then you just add it to different characters

and studying movement and playing around, you know.

This is what we do. I don't... Yeah.

We're the same. We're the same. Yeah.

Lolly's got a dance class after this.

We'll do it together.

Let's do it together.

You can see Tom Cruise as Jinger in cinemas and selected IMAX theatres from

next Friday. Tom Cruise, everybody.

Thank you.

Graham.

You know that, Graham.

I love the suit, Graham. Oh, thank you very much.

Thanks for asking, Tom.

LAUGHTER Florence Bewes. Florence Bewes returning to our television

screen. It's true, Florence, come on.

Joe.

East Of Eden.

This is a lavish new seven-part adaptation of the classic John Steinbeck

novel. It premieres globally on Netflix next Thursday.

So, East Of Eden, big classic novel.

Some people may not have read it So tell us about Kathy and her role in the story

Yeah, so Zoe Kazan has written her adaption of East of Eden and it's a

seven episode series Sweeping epic and I play Kathy Ames who is

also epic in in every way

And it's just been the most, like, amazing journey making it. We've been

making it for about six years now. I've been on it for six years.

Really? Yeah. Wow.

Yeah. And we had our first Zoom in the second week of Covid lockdown and we

both just, like... Zoe and I just fell in love with each other and she asked me

to make this with her and to create this with her. So, it's like we're releasing

our baby. Wow. We feel very... Well, I feel very, very protective of it.

I'm really excited.

Kathy is such a great part and it must be amazing to play someone like that

Over kind of seven episodes and I wonder as an actor Do you keep the whole thing

in your head or do you go go in this episode? I'm telling this story. That's

a good question

You're making me better, Tom. You are making me better.

Sorry, Florence. That's OK.

No, I didn't genuinely ask that question. No, it's all right.

It's funny, I think probably a bit of both, because with episodes, you want to

start and end in the right place and you obviously want to excite people and make

sure that they watch the next episode. But I think because I play a character

that goes across a few decades and we really see her age, that was probably

the biggest...

I guess, thrill was that I really got to figure out who this lady was and I got

to age with her and I got to figure out what she sounded like when she was older

and how she looks and what her wardrobe was.

Yeah. So, yeah, it was amazing, truly, and we shot in New Zealand for six

months and...

just everything was so full, it was so... The shooting schedule was epic,

the people that we shot with were epic, and we were in these amazing landscapes

in New Zealand where you'd just open your eyes out of a car window and be

like, whoa!

That's Lord Of The Rings!

But, yeah, no, brilliant time.

And our clip is you as Kathy having an intimate conversation with your husband

Adam, played by Christopher Abbott. Here we go.

Adam.

I didn't want to come here.

I don't intend to stay here.

And as soon as I can I will go away.

Come out.

Before you catch a cold. Come on.

Good. Good drama.

Good drama.

And this is another kind of American classic. I mean, people study this book

and you did Little Women, now this. I mean, American audiences just totally

accept that you are American.

They think that I fully don't... Like, they think I'm American and whenever I

speak in interviews, they're like, oh, stop doing the British accent!

Me!

But you've always been quite... That's a really good British accent. It is good,

isn't it?

It's definitely my accent.

Did you see my typing, though, there?

I need some... A bit too up and down. Sorry, I need some more typing.

Work on it. Yeah, sorry.

But, actually, you've always been quite bold with your accent choices. Was it

your very first acting role you decided to do an accent? Yes, my very first

acting role was to be pregnant Mary in the Nativity play, and I was like, this

isn't interesting enough.

I was six years old.

How old? Six.

Six. And I went into the first rehearsal and I was like, she's going to be from

Grimsby.

She's going to have a northern accent. Well, my grandparents are from Grimsby,

so I just obviously copied them, but, yeah.

Bizarre. Were you allowed to keep the Grimsey accent?

Yeah, well, the script was actually really... It was really well written,

so... She came on stage and she was aching about her back and her, like,

swollen legs, so I was like, ooh, me back!

I just want to imagine that sex with a pregnant mum.

I'd like to see that. I'd like to see a video of that. I'd love to see that.

And, John, have you done an American accent or something or not?

No, no. No. The trouble with having this accent is that, like, I don't... This is

what intrigues me with people who play with their own voice.

In my head, I don't sound like I sound.

Really? Do you know what I mean? How do you sound?

Well, like Sean Connery, I don't know.

And it's funny because, like, I never really considered it throughout my

career, it's been a bonus sounding like this, obviously, and it's where I'm from

and stuff, but I've been doing some gigs in America.

And I was doing this comedy club in New York that I go to, The Comedy Cellar,

and I go back there all the time and I absolutely love it. But I've become that

comfortable with it and I don't tell people where I'm from and I didn't

realise that if I don't say where I'm from and the host doesn't say where I'm

from, the audience have to work it out and they've not heard this noise before.

And I was there in January and I come off stage and this guy stopped me and he

could not have looked more American. He was like... you know, baseball cap,

beard, check shirt, fat guy.

Wow.

Welcome to Britain, Tom.

He looked like he drove an ice truck in a documentary or something. And I'd been

on stage, not mention where I'm from, and he'd obviously worked it out for

himself, cos as I'm coming through the crowd, he just grabbed me by the arm, he

said, hey, buddy, tell your guy, Selenski, we've got his back.

but I sound like to every American.

How do you sound, like, here?

Well, here, I just sound like a Scouser. I sound like I'm from Liverpool.

And the thing is, with being from Liverpool, it's like anything.

Like, you've got an American accent, but it would be hard for us to place it.

When you pick an American accent, you can probably kind of regionalise it. In

England, like, I sound different than people who live five miles away. I know.

And that's the difference. Great accent, I've got to tell you. The accent in

Digger seems really specific.

It's just, you know, when you're finding language and accents and when you see

the movie, it has a rhythm and a language, so you're working on something

that will deliver the tone.

So I was just playing around with the accent that would deliver the tone and

be able to as I'm going through the rhythm It's going to make it comedic and

dramatic So we're just kind of that's when you just kind of find out that it's

right in there just bang bang bang Totally makes the cat the character

every time change finding the accent just just fills in all the gaps Because

lolly you like doing an american accent. In fact you you I love it

You've done American TV shows, but they won't let you be American.

Yeah, quite often, I audition in an American accent and they say, just stick

to the British accent.

Just carry on with what you're doing.

But in O'Meary, I get to do an American accent, obviously, because... Well, we

can all hear your American accent in your latest role, because, good news,

everybody, La Diada Fope is making her West End debut!

Yes!

Lolly will be playing Mary Todd Lincoln in O'Mary, opening this Monday, the

28th of September, at the Trafalgar Theatre in London.

I love this play, so I'm so glad you're here.

Thank you so much.

O'Mary, it's been a huge hit in America, a huge hit here, but some people won't

have seen it, so how do you describe...? Because a play doesn't quite do it

justice. How do you describe O'Mary to people?

It's kind of... It's an experience.

It's an 80-minute wild ride from start to finish about Mary Todd Lincoln, who

is... It's not historically accurate, of course, but she is a kind of alcoholic,

aspiring cabaret star, quite sort of feral, intense woman.

So, perfect for me.

I see a lot of myself in her, yeah.

But also, I think, even if you say, oh, it's a comedy, people have a certain

expectation, but we should say, like, this is joke-heavy.

Yes, it kind of reminds me of The Simpsons sometimes.

It's kind of like joke, joke, joke.

Yeah. And kind of fun for all the family, I would say. Well, not all the

family, but... No, no.

Like, I thought it was almost like a family guy sketch or something. Yes,

yeah, yeah, but better. Yeah, but... Yeah.

LAUGHTER

And because O'Mary has had different casts over the years, have you seen

other people play it?

Yes, I saw Cole in New York.

I love Cole.

That was incredible.

And I saw Mason Alexander Park, who was also incredible, in London.

So it's good to have seen the play before you do the play. That's quite a

fun sort of hint at what you're going to have to do. Yeah. Which is very

physically active.

But when you see someone and they get a big laugh... doing something a certain

way, do you think, I'll just do that?

Or do you kind of think, no, I'm going to make it my own? Yeah, I'm going to

change it. Yeah, yeah. I'm going to give it a spin. I'll stop them laughing.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll stop them laughing. Yeah, yeah.

No, because, Tom, have you ever been in a play?

Yeah, early on. OK. Would you ever go back? Would you ever go do Broadway or

something? You know, I love theatre, maybe one day, but I love...

I love going to theater. I love, I really respect this art form of what you

do. It's incredible.

That's a big no, I think.

But I'm interested, you talk about learning things, because I was struck,

because, you know, Digger talks a lot. A lot, I know. There's that 10-minute

monologue. But, like, it was an extraordinary amount to learn. You know,

because as a film actor, you don't normally have to learn...

pages and pages of dialogue. A lot of films I make are pages and pages.

You look at Rain Man, you look at Jerry Maguire, Risky Business or Collateral,

the language of the movies and the rhythm of the film. So it's a part of

it. And so I don't find learning lines hard or anything.

It's not like you sit down and learn the lines. You all know this. We're finding

our voices, you know, as we're writing, as we're doing it.

I like absorbing everyone's...

the ideas, and then you just, it's a beautiful exploration.

So learning the lines is the easiest thing.

It's actually, it's like, okay, it's kind of like, it's just mechanical.

But it really is the beauty of finding the rhythm. You know that in what you

do. It's finding that rhythm. Yeah, totally.

And that audience where you're going, where...

Where are they leaning in? Where is that natural rhythm that you're going to find

your own creativity? Yeah, yeah, playing off their energy.

Yeah, and your voice within it. It's like you're looking at other actors, and

I know what you mean, it's like that's their create and how they're going to

play the scene, and you have your own things that interest you or excite you

about playing something or exploring it.

Totally. Yeah.

And are you looking forward to, like, being back in front of a live audience

again, Lolly?

Yes, I am, yeah. It's daunting, of course, because you have to get it right

first time. You can't do another take, apparently.

But you get another night.

Yeah, you get 80 nights.

I'll get it right once.

I'll see my friends on stage, they're like... I was like... Brilliant

performance. Oh, shit.

I'm like, I don't know what you're talking about. Yeah, you make it work.

Well, Lolly will be knocking it out of the park in O'Meary this Monday at the

Trafalgar Theatre.

And a reminder, you can see Florence in the East of Eden on Netflix from next

Thursday. Meanwhile, on Saturday night, John Bishop is hosting a brand new...

It is called Wisdom Of The Crowd.

It's on BBC One and iPlayer straight after Strictly. And this is exciting,

it's a big, big game show.

It's the same people who did 1% Club, is that right?

Yeah. So, this is the hard bit, Jon.

Tell us, how does it work?

So, it's based on a scientific theory that if you ask enough people a question

and then get the average of their answers, that average will be better

than any individual answer.

So it's called the wisdom of the crowd because the crowd know more than an

individual. So that's what it's based on. And is that experiment based on a

certain number of people or how...? Yeah, there's a tipping point. So all

the questions have already been asked of 1,800 people, but we've got an audience

of 200.

And that audience stay with us for the whole series.

So, basically, the individual who comes out as the contestant is competing

against their answers, plus what's already in the system, so they're trying

to compete against 2,000 people.

Oh, so there's a right answer, and then it's brought into... Yeah, and all of

these questions are ridiculous.

Like, no-one knows the answer. It would be like... Like a spaceship.

Yeah, it'd be, on average, how long does it take a woman in the UK to get ready

to go out?

LAUGHTER Great question. Do you know the answer?

Don't tell us, don't tell us. Don't have to toughen me up, but I can tell you

now, it's a fucking long time ago.

I see you all laughing. Look at this!

Ladies, hello.

So, the question is that you don't know the answer to, but what's good about it,

it's Saturday night, it's after Strictly, it's for fun, and so everyone

can have a stab at the answer. Give us another question.

Oh, I'll tell you what, I'll show a clip.

There's a question in the clip.

Here is a clip from the wisdom of the crowd.

Good question here. Here we go.

How many times does the average person in the UK shower per year?

Everybody, lock in your answers now.

Jennifer Noble Taylor.

Me? How are you, Jennifer?

You're a church administrator.

Yes. What does that mean?

I do the administration for my church, so...

I assume it's an activity that must be quite sweaty, considering the number of

showers that you put in.

It's like three showers a day.

Well, some people do take three showers a day.

You know what? That's not as mad as... To be fair, that is mad. That is mad.

That is mad. OK, so... Oh, pray.

So, 1,000, Gordon Green...

Lolly, how many showers does the average person take in a year in the UK?

460. OK.

Florence? All right, I'm trying to think about me. OK.

I'm sweating.

Fuck, OK.

500?

OK. OK.

Tom? I'm going to say 340.

OK.

Do you know the answer?

I've got the answer on the card there. Oh, thank God for that.

I've got the answer on it. You haven't had a go.

Well, hang on.

So... See, but people are bad.

People are bad here. People are bad here. So, I think it will be under 300.

What did you say?

Under? No, you can't. I said it already.

Under 300. You said 240.

You said 240. I said 340. What did you say, 340? I told you 340. Oh, 340.

OK. Because I...

How come there's this bit in the show? Hold it, hold it.

Hold it, one second, one second. Are we talking baths or are we talking showers?

Showers. Oh, hold it, you're right.

OK, I combine.

Interesting. What would you say if it was just showers?

If it was just showers, I would say 140.

OK. Oh, I'd say more than 250.

250, I'm saying. You say 250.

A bath.

OK. So are you not showering every day?

No, I'm not. LAUGHTER

There's baths and there's showers. He's talking about... He's different than

people... We're talking baths and showers. He's talking about smelly

British people.

He's noticed that we stink, and he's reflecting that in his answer. OK,

two, maybe two. No,

I shower.

People take a lot of baths in this country. They take a lot of baths.

Quickly, tell us the answer. This is the example of what this show is about.

All over this country, there's people on the couches going, how many baths are

you using?

The answer is actually 275. Wow. Wow.

What did you say? Not bad.

What did you say? I got it way wrong.

Oh, you were 500.

I said 460.

I was thinking of two showers a day. I was thinking...

I take several showers. Yeah, it doesn't sound like it.

It does not sound like it at all. I'm telling you, I assure you.

I assure you, that is a fat suit. Anyway, so we get the idea.

Don't try and talk your way out of it.

We should also say you are heading back on tour.

I am, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll go back on tour.

Next, April.

April, mate.

April 29.

Picks off in Leeds.

Nice. We should also very quickly go back to the cinema, because, Lolly, you

have a film on the way, Halloween, right? Yes, October 23rd it comes out.

Is...? Ghosts, The Possession Of Buttonhead. Wow!

Fantastic, Lolly. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.

And Florence Pugh, wow, you are all over...

Are they calling it Doomsday?

Yeah, you're going to be sick of me.

No, because you're in both of them. So Doomsday is Dune is opening on the same

day as the new Avenger Doomsday. And you're in both of them.

I'm in both of them, yeah.

You've been in a lot of showers.

Yes, I'm screwed, yeah.

And I've got to mention, is Days Of Thunder your next big one? Yeah, I've

been prepping it. Have you started filming yet? No.

No, we haven't. Oh, race cars! I know, I can't wait. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, it's fine, Tom. You can make films about it, Tom. Race cars, no problem.

We've driven cars, haven't we, man? You, Tom, we've driven cars. Yeah, good cars.

Oh, you were both in Top Gear together?

Yeah, me knows, me know, me do. Yeah, I know.

Who beat who?

I don't want to talk about it, man.

I mean, it sums the movie star, you know what I mean? You did well, you did well.

Yeah, I did, I did well. Yeah, you did, you did better than me. That was good.

Yeah, OK.

Not head-to-head. You did well.

Go ahead.

Enjoy it, Tom.

Enjoy it.

You have to show up with a broken ankle.

It's like, I got it, you have a broken ankle. I understand.

When will it be out? 28 or something?

26?

28. We look forward to that. We look forward to all your products.

Thank you for having me.

It's not over yet, Tom.

There's loads to go.

We've got a tight hour to fill.

Do you want to nick off another shower and come back?

I think...

I think Florence might need that right now. Clearly with my numbers. Clearly

with her numbers. She's going to take a shower. We'll wait for her. It's time

for music. Since releasing her debut album, Our Version of Events, 15 years

ago, this Scottish singer has won four Brits, two Ivory Novellos and three MoBo

Awards. Here performing the breakout hit from that album, Read All About It, it's

Emily Sandé!

You've got the words to change a nation, but you're biting your tongue.

You spend a lifetime stuck in silence, afraid you'll say something wrong.

If no one ever hears it, how are we gonna learn your song?

So come on, come on, yeah, come on, come on. You've got a heart as loud

as lions, so why let your voice be tamed?

Maybe we're a little different. There's no need to be ashamed.

You got the light to fight the shadows.

So stop hiding it away.

Come on, come on.

Well, I want to sing.

Yes, I want to shout.

Yes, I want to scream till the words dry out.

So put it in all of the papers.

I'm not afraid.

They can read all about it. Read all about it.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,

oh.

At night we're waking up the neighbors while we sing away the blues.

Making sure that we're remembered because we all matter too.

If the truth has been forbidden, then we're breaking all the rules.

So come on, come on.

Let's get the TV and the radio to play our tune again.

It's about time we had some airplay of a version of events.

There's no need to be afraid.

I will sing with you, my friend.

Come on, come on.

Yes, I wanna sing.

Yes, I wanna shout.

I wanna scream till the words dry out.

So put it in all of the papers.

I'm not afraid.

They can read all about it. Read all about it. We're all wonderful,

wonderful people.

So when did we all get so fearful?

And now we're finally finding our voices.

So take a chance. Come help me sing this.

Well, I want to sing.

Yes, I want to shout.

Yes, I want to scream till the words dry out.

So put it in all of the papers.

I'm not afraid.

They can read all about it. Read all about it.

So great to hear that again.

from the Breakout album, our version of events. It's been re-released. Here it

is. Yes. The beautiful special edition after 15 years.

And you're doing a special tour to celebrate the 15 years of this album.

Yeah, anniversary tour starting February next year.

Wow. Actually, January now. We've added five extra dates.

Well, no, I saw that you'd added all the extra dates. That's amazing that it's

going so well. I know. It's going to be a really... I want it to be a thank you

to the fans. You know, that album really changed my life, so I can't wait to get

back out there.

And it's one of those things where,

Yes. Tom?

Tom is going to like this statistic.

Here's the thing. So, you know, you kind of think, oh, Our Version of Vents, I

remember that album. Yeah, it was a big hit.

I didn't realise this. So, it was number one for ten weeks, right? That's one

thing. But it stayed in the top ten.

For 66 consecutive weeks breaking the record previously set by the beatles Wow

Like

that's amazing We were just saying how we remembered it being on the

radio for ages. I'm just loving it every time I go into a room i'll be like yes

After a while people want me to go away, but

That's not true and we're all talking about it like to hear you sing this live

I mean, it was just very magical but it's brilliance as well. They go out

doing the album. I just went and watch it What's no patrol doing the same and

it's just a brilliant thing for the fans. Yeah to do the album in order

That's like the real thing that's left, you know to be able to be there present

with the people that made this dream possible and and hopefully i get to

perform some new material as well and working on a new album so it's gonna be

a big full circle that's very good yeah that's excellent and what's it like i

wondered i mean i guess you haven't stopped singing these songs but some of

the songs on the album you probably haven't sung that much in the last 15

years yeah there's a few there that um are going to be kind of new yeah and

what's it like for you coming back to those songs after that length of time um

I mean, hopefully I've grown as a person, you know. I hope there's kind of

been some lessons learnt.

But it's nice to kind of revisit them, and there's a song there for my parents,

for my sisters, so I'm looking forward to putting them together again.

Wow.

It'll be just, as Tom was saying, just so great to hear you sing it live again.

It's just really, really beautiful. Listen, good luck with the album, the

tour and the new material.

Emily Sandé, everybody!

That is nearly it for tonight, Covid time. Before we go, just time for our

first visit to the world-famous Big Red Chair.

Hello. Hi.

Hi, what's your name?

My name is Kerry.

Kerry, hello.

Hi. And what do you do, Kerry?

I have an HRT, homeowner placement clinic, in Trinidad and Tobago.

OK, well done you. None of us saw that coming.

And so you're just here on holidays?

Kind of, I'm trying to see if I want to live here or not.

OK. So I've been here for a while.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, we don't wash, but apart from that, it's lovely.

Off you go with your story.

So, a few years ago, I was doing an online course where I was learning to do

all of the technology to put a course online.

So it was quite professional and we would have meetings every so often on

Zoom.

You could take part in the meetings or you could just listen in. So one of

these meetings, I said, well, I don't really have anything to take part in,

but I'd like to still listen to what's going on. Of course.

Anyway... So I said, let me take care of some other things at the same time. You

know, like maybe get some exercise done.

So I kind of put the phone down, not realizing my camera was on.

And I was squatting kind of with my right end into the camera.

No big deal.

Fine. Then it's time for the shower. You know, the showers that you guys don't

really take.

I put the phone onto my counter in my bathroom.

It's still pointing at me because I'm still listening to the meeting and I've

gotten undressed.

No big deal. No big deal.

Get into the shower where I happen to have a shelf kind of chest high.

It's there and I'm completely naked showering. And that's when somebody

decided to say, I'm not sure Carrie knows, but she's been working out. Then

she got undressed and now she's naked in the shower.

So I picked my phone up.

pelted it across the room and burst into tears.

And somebody said to me, one day this will make a great story and you will

laugh. So they were right.

And here you are.

Go,

go. There you go.

Okay, that really is all we've got time for. And please say you thank you to all

my guests. Emily Sandé.

with music from Blossoms, rapper and actor 50 Cent, actor Andrew Garfield,

Oscar winner Catherine Zeta-Jones and the legendary Sylvester Stallone. I'll

see you then. Good night, everybody. Bye-bye.

And there's more from Graham next. It's musical week. Stand by for Croydon, the
