00:00I love all of this cuddling. Just so you know, so nobody panics,
00:03I have had very extensive notes from Graham.
00:07This is where we just chat.
00:08So, Chris, congratulations. You have a brand-new baby.
00:12I do, yeah, yeah.
00:16A little boy called Thor.
00:17Little boy, there he is.
00:19Also, people loved the fact that you posted this,
00:23because just tell us the caption.
00:24Shit happens.
00:27It's the truth.
00:28It's totally relatable.
00:30The kid just shits up his back every time.
00:33How do they get it so far up?
00:35I have no idea.
00:36I just don't get the physics.
00:38And he burps and farts like an old man.
00:40He sounds like a 40-year-old man when he burps.
00:43But it's really funny, like, I have four children,
00:45three with Catherine, and the two girls are very dainty
00:48and sweet and wonderful, and Ford came out,
00:50immediately sounds like an absolute old man.
00:53So shortly before that picture, it was just like,
00:55the loudest, wettest fart.
00:57And then it just starts creeping up his back.
00:59I was like, oh, my God, here we go.
01:01Yeah.
01:01And Saoirse, your West End debut in the brilliant play,
01:05The Ferryman, you were holding a baby.
01:07And I believe there was actual livestock around you.
01:10Oh, God.
01:11Look at the baby!
01:13That was amazing, because they had real animals,
01:16real baby, obviously.
01:17Real fire.
01:1818 people on stage.
01:20Yeah, about 18 people on stage.
01:21And Irish, so that makes about 25.
01:23Got it.
01:24Did it always go well?
01:26It didn't always go well.
01:27We had a fire one night, we had a goose, projectile poo,
01:32and a little girl's face.
01:33That was interesting.
01:36And then you just have the baby drama.
01:37I started to get, like, really fussy with the babies
01:41and choosing the best babies.
01:43Unfortunately...
01:44What do you mean?
01:45Did they line up?
01:46They would...
01:47We would have...
01:48I would have a selection of babies.
01:49And then we'd go on and fill out which one...
01:52That sounds really bad.
01:53I would choose which baby worked best that night.
01:56Whoever was in good form...
01:57Right.
01:58That's a baby.
01:59And...
02:00I...
02:01The mum started to get quite competitive of who was
02:04getting more showtime, and I would want the same baby
02:06all the time.
02:08And, uh, unfortunately, like, you can't have a baby
02:12working the same hours because children have rights.
02:15I mean, the world's gone mad.
02:16LAUGHTER
02:17The world's gone mad.
02:18How is...
02:19How does one even deal with that?
02:21And, Toby, we can't talk about children without mentioning
02:26the magnificent Dobby.
02:28Uh...
02:29Yeah, I know.
02:30APPLAUSE
02:35Did you...
02:36Cos you've got, uh, children, when they were little,
02:39did you do the Dobby voice?
02:41Did you say, come on, I'm going to read to you
02:43and this is going to blow your mind?
02:44LAUGHTER
02:46I did.
02:47I did do it.
02:48There's a lot more Dobby in the books than you get in the film,
02:50so you can't really sustain the Dobby voice.
02:53Right.
02:54But did they love it?
02:55Did they go...
02:56I'd love to say they did.
02:57They don't really care.
02:58No.
02:59They really care about what I'm doing.
03:00I'm sure it's the same with you, Chris.
03:01They don't really care.
03:02They go...
03:03They say just goodbye, bring back the money.
03:05Yeah.
03:06LAUGHTER
03:07I love Dobby.
03:08I've played a character that I actually based, weirdly, on Dobby
03:12and you.
03:13It wasn't meant to be Dobby or anything to do.
03:15Dobby just slowly became more Dobby.
03:18Did you hit yourself?
03:19Yeah.
03:20Hitting yourself?
03:21No.
03:22I did hit myself actually a couple of times.
03:24Picked and scratched.
03:25Those were my two tics.
03:26Yeah, yeah, yeah.
03:27And I just felt like I was slowly evolving and they told me,
03:31I actually sank we luck while I like, you know.
03:33LAUGHTER
03:34What's in that one?
03:35LAUGHTER
03:36They had a sick...
03:37I always said, if someone was to cast my dad, you would be great.
03:41So if you're free, I'm free from September.
03:43LAUGHTER
03:44That is amazing.
03:45Rob has a brilliant parroting podcast that is incredibly popular,
03:58doesn't he?
03:59Oh, thank you.
04:03It's fantastic.
04:04Well, he talks about the trials and tribulations.
04:06There are so many great stories, but can you tell us about flying?
04:10You said really as if it was like, it's me talking about how bad I am.
04:13It's not like advice.
04:14Yeah, yeah.
04:15Guilt.
04:16Yeah, guilt.
04:17It's just carnage.
04:18We started doing it in lockdown, but I find the 18-month age
04:21is quite difficult when they're running about.
04:23I remember we come back from Tenerife on holiday.
04:26How many kids?
04:27I've got two kids.
04:28They're seven and nine, and I remember we had a three-and-a-half-year-old
04:30and an 18-month-year-old, and we're flying back from Tenerife,
04:32which is like four and a half hours, and my eldest was unwell,
04:36so just to sleep on my wife's lap, so I was in sole charge
04:39of this toddler that I was basically just holding like that for four hours.
04:42And they're so strong at that age, I was just holding her like that.
04:45And then she had a bit of French stick that she was eating,
04:47and I needed to go to the toilet.
04:48Every time I was trying to go to the toilet, I was trying to hold her,
04:50she couldn't put it down, she'd run off.
04:51I was like, I went back, went loose, it's a nightmare,
04:53I'm just wee-ing everywhere.
04:54She went, why don't you just sit on the toilet and do a wee?
04:56I was like, oh, yeah.
04:57Cos you forget.
04:58You forget, blokes.
04:59You know, that's a bit frowned upon, innit?
05:01Yeah.
05:02But it is an option.
05:03It's always an option.
05:04It must be an age treat as well.
05:06You know what?
05:07It was.
05:08So, I went, this is perfect, so trying to dance,
05:10like that, holding the baby, she's eating a bit of French stick.
05:12Anyway, so, pick her back up.
05:13Which is what?
05:14What?
05:15She's got a bit of French stick on the go.
05:16Stick.
05:17Stick.
05:18This is a bit of stick?
05:19Dick.
05:20Dick.
05:21No.
05:22French stick.
05:23Baguette.
05:24We gave her the long...
05:25Baguette is called a French dick?
05:26No.
05:27French stick.
05:28French stick.
05:29A baguette here is called a French stick.
05:30French stick.
05:31Stick.
05:36But we took off and she had, like, the sort of long, full-length baguette.
05:39Let's go with that.
05:40But, obviously, as the flight is getting shorter, the baguette is getting shorter
05:43and she's run out of baguette anyway.
05:44So, we come out of the toilet, I'm like, oh, she's done the whole baguette.
05:46She's eaten all the baguette, right?
05:47Pulled my trousers down and I'm walking on cos I can't...
05:49I'm holding her the whole time.
05:50Sit down.
05:51She has not eaten the full baguette.
05:53She's...
05:54The end of it, what do you call the end of a baguette?
05:56The knob.
05:57The knob?
05:58Yeah.
05:59LAUGHTER
06:00No.
06:01The French knob.
06:02The French knob.
06:03Just the end of the baguette, too.
06:05The end, the end.
06:06Sorry.
06:07Anyway, the end of the baguette is gone.
06:10I think she must have eaten it all.
06:11No, she hasn't.
06:12Cos as I sit down and I'm holding my hands, she's dropped the end of the baguette
06:16in my little hammock bit of pants.
06:18Well, I've not noticed.
06:20And I've pulled my trousers up, I've walked down the aisle,
06:24I've sat in my seat for another three hours.
06:26Stop.
06:27And as I sit down, I find the baguette.
06:29LAUGHTER
06:30It's in me, Toby.
06:31Yeah, yeah.
06:32And now I sat there...
06:33No, it isn't!
06:34It's...
06:35Oh, OK, it weren't all in, but I was having a go.
06:37Would somebody please call Drey.
06:39LAUGHTER
06:40It's all been there.
06:41There's got to be a podcast in this year, probably.
06:44LAUGHTER
06:45So I just had to sit there till we landed, cos my mum was so ill,
06:48she was being held like that.
06:49Yeah.
06:50It was awful.
06:51I would...
06:52Don't go on holiday until the youngest is four.
06:54Yeah.
06:55I'd say.
06:56I absolutely agree with that.
06:57Yeah.
06:58Can we, Chris Pratt, thank you so much for coming all this way,
07:00to tell us all about your new film.
07:02Yes.
07:03It's called The Electric State.
07:05It's out on 14th of March on Netflix.
07:07That's right.
07:08Before we have a look, tell us all about it.
07:10So, it's set in this sort of dystopian world
07:13based on a graphic novel by Simon Stahlberg,
07:16so it's...
07:17After this failed robot uprising,
07:21but it's set in, like, an alternate version of the 1990s,
07:25very nostalgic.
07:26This girl, Millie, and her robot companion,
07:30and myself, a low-rent smuggler, and my companion,
07:32head across the West in search of her brother.
07:34And it's, you know, a big epic sci-fi family adventure
07:38with truly incredibly beautiful, stunning imagery
07:42rooted in the graphic novel, and it's on Netflix.
07:46It certainly is.
07:47Let's have a clip.
07:48This is where you meet Millie Bobby Brown's character
07:51for the first time, and she's got her bot,
07:54you've got your bot.
07:55Got it.
07:56Here it is.
07:57Here we go.
08:01It's an amazing film.
08:05I wanted to briefly mention, didn't you say,
08:07I'm not doing anything else, I'm just staying at home?
08:09Yeah.
08:10And your wife was like, you can't miss out on this.
08:12That is, that's the truth, yeah.
08:13I had just finished a pretty busy season of work,
08:16and there's so many blessings in living this life,
08:18but part of it is, you know, you have to travel a lot,
08:21and we have four kids, and so I was, I had been away for a while,
08:26and I said, I'm going to take an extended period off,
08:28and then the Russo brothers, who I worked with,
08:30they directed The Avengers, Endgame, and The Avengers, Infinity War,
08:34and they called me about this, and I said, guys, it's,
08:36and I read the script, and I was like, oh, my God, it's so good,
08:38but I just can't do it.
08:40And they found a way to make it work, and then Catherine read it
08:43and was like, I really think you have to do this movie.
08:45Yeah.
08:46So either she really loved her,
08:47or she just actually was wanting me out of the house again.
08:49Yeah.
08:50Bye!
08:51We found a way to do it.
08:52Yeah, we found a way to do it.
08:53FaceTime, maybe I'll be busy.
08:54And, Chris, we were just mentioning your young baby.
08:57Your father-in-law is Arnold Schwarzenegger.
09:00That's right, yeah.
09:01So, and...
09:02I know.
09:04I know.
09:05But he likes to do something every time the baby is born.
09:08That's right.
09:09Yeah, he's a big cigar smoker.
09:10He's always smoking cigars on set, in his car, in my living room.
09:14He's just like...
09:15And he'll show up, you know, when we have a baby.
09:18It's customary.
09:19He brings a nice Cuban cigar.
09:22And, um...
09:23For the baby?
09:24Yeah.
09:25With his grandchild.
09:26There's a French baguette and...
09:28We're not on that stage of weaning yet.
09:30Welcome to the farm.
09:32Yeah, so, you know, you toast or whatever,
09:35it's a cigar to the birth of the child.
09:37And I have asthma, so I should not ever smoke cigars.
09:43And, um...
09:44But I do.
09:45Because I feel pressure from Arnold Schwarzenegger, my...
09:48LAUGHTER
09:50And he's like...
09:51You can't possibly say no.
09:52What are you going to do?
09:53What are you going to do?
09:54Like, yeah.
09:55Because he always comes back and offers you another one, doesn't he?
09:56Clip, clip.
09:57LAUGHTER
09:58I love it!
10:00Sorry.
10:02Sorry.
10:03That was good.
10:07Yeah.
10:08And, uh, so, every time we have a child, um...
10:11At about two weeks, we smoke the cigar,
10:13and at about three weeks, I've got the lung infection.
10:16Uh, it's a little, uh, ritual that we have.
10:18A custom.
10:19I love it.
10:20This is...
10:21We have a picture of you two playing chess.
10:22Yes.
10:23I think you're winning.
10:24Hang on.
10:25Is that his front room?
10:26Yes.
10:27OK.
10:28No comment.
10:29LAUGHTER
10:31There are photos and memorabilia of Arnold,
10:34all over Arnold's...
10:35Does he forget he's Arnold Schwarzenegger some days?
10:38LAUGHTER
10:39Just a quick reminder.
10:40Also, there's a picture there of him playing...
10:42Him playing chess, yeah.
10:44I think that's against his...
10:45Do you let him win?
10:47Because he's Arnold.
10:48No, he's very good.
10:49I've only ever actually beaten him once.
10:51And, uh, he's very competitive and very good at chess.
10:55So, I really got into chess to play more with him,
10:59and, uh, I have beat him once, but, man, he's very good,
11:02so, uh, he beats me all the time.
11:04And you said...
11:05But, yeah, I let him win.
11:06You heard that, Arnold.
11:07Yeah, of course.
11:08Yeah.
11:09Um, and I also read this might not be true,
11:11that he said he knew you were the one for his daughter,
11:14you and Catherine had fallen in love,
11:16uh, when he saw you at the gym.
11:18Yeah.
11:19Is that true?
11:20That was, like, that's what you have to do.
11:21Uh, I was like...
11:23He's, like, we should work out.
11:25I was like...
11:26LAUGHTER
11:27Could you imagine?
11:29OK, let's go.
11:31Extra pre-workout.
11:32I was really...
11:33I loosened myself up and trying to...
11:34And then we went there to the gym and got a workout in,
11:37and then, uh, halfway through...
11:39I think I earned, uh...
11:41The risk.
11:42His daughter's hand.
11:43LAUGHTER
11:44Fantastic.
11:45Isn't that great?
11:46Yeah.
11:47Have you ever had the urge for him to pick you up?
11:48LAUGHTER
11:51I think if I was around him, I just really want him to pick me up.
11:54Just pick you up?
11:55Just once or twice.
11:56Just once or twice.
11:57It would be the first thing that came to mind.
11:58LAUGHTER
11:59I think he would love to do that.
12:00He certainly could.
12:01I have not had that urge.
12:03LAUGHTER
12:04But, um...
12:05LAUGHTER
12:06But I think that you should meet him.
12:07And when you do, offer yourself to be bench-pressed.
12:10I bet you he would really like it.
12:11Uh, but you do be no baller.
12:12You are Ben Presta.
12:13Yeah, he could do it.
12:14He could do it.
12:15He'd probably do both of us.
12:16One in each arm.
12:17Yeah.
12:18Whilst playing chess, smoking a cigar.
12:19Yeah, that's right.
12:20Um, Sush, let us talk about your excellent new show.
12:23It's called The City Is Ours.
12:25It's coming to the BBC next month.
12:27And it's a crime drama.
12:30If I said that right, explain what it is.
12:33Do you like the fact that I couldn't find the words?
12:35I was like, crime drama.
12:37You said that as if there was a pronunciation issue.
12:39I thought, as I said that, I was like, I'm underselling it.
12:43Is it sort of family?
12:45Is it a family drama?
12:46It's about crime.
12:47It's set in Liverpool.
12:48It's meaty.
12:49Yeah.
12:50It's got Sean Bean in it.
12:51You are excellent in it.
12:52Oh, thank you so much.
12:53Tell us.
12:54It's a story that really follows this young man called Michael,
12:57played by the amazing James Joyce Nelson.
13:00And he's a young man that's found himself in organised crime
13:04his whole adult life, really.
13:07And he's fallen in love and that sort of poses the question to him
13:10of what he has to lose.
13:12And I really think it's a love letter from Stephen Burchard
13:15to Liverpool.
13:16He's a Scouser and I live in Liverpool myself.
13:19And I love Liverpoolians and the city and all the amazing characters
13:24there and all their crazy sensibilities.
13:26I play a character called Cheryl, who's sort of an agent of chaos.
13:32Nothing like myself.
13:34She's sort of like throwing a hand grenade under the scene at any point.
13:40She's holding a lot of cards close to her chest.
13:43And I think through the process of the trauma that she's going through,
13:48it weirdly brings her closer to herself.
13:50And I thought that was such an interesting thing to explore
13:53and very relatable.
13:54You play her so beautifully.
13:56Oh, thank you.
13:57You really do.
13:58Because she's steel but she's vulnerable.
14:00Shall we have a clip?
14:01Yeah.
14:02This is her at a christening telling Diana just what she's got in store for her.
14:14She's so...
14:15All of it is so...
14:16It's hypnotic.
14:18And as you said, you live in Liverpool and you love it,
14:21but I understand that when people are surprised to see you there,
14:24you answer and they don't quite...
14:26Yeah, it's always a language barrier, which is so weird
14:29because we're so similar to people and they always stop me
14:32and they're like, who, Michael, what are you doing here?
14:34And I'm like, I love here.
14:35And they're like, you love it here?
14:36And I'm like, love here.
14:37You love it here?
14:38And then I just end up shouting at them and I'm going, I love her!
14:40I live there and I love it!
14:42And I love it!
14:43It's quite a resonance!
14:44Yeah.
14:45It's fantastic.
14:46You've worked with Sean Bean before, haven't you?
14:48Yeah.
14:49I have.
14:50I've worked with Sean before.
14:51I think it actually might have been the second ever TV part I got
14:55and I was delighted.
14:56I was playing Sean's girlfriend in flashback scenes
15:00and I was really thrilled and the entire storyline got cut
15:05and it was just me crying in a bed.
15:07But, you know, it was nice to see him again.
15:09Yeah.
15:10I was super proud of you.
15:11You're like, hi, remember me?
15:12Yeah, what a great time we had.
15:14Toby, didn't that happen to you on a huge film?
15:18Well, it didn't feel, I suppose it did feel huge at the time
15:22when they were making Notting Hill.
15:25They were worried at the moment where Hugh Grant spills
15:30the orange juice onto Julia Roberts' chest.
15:34They thought, and then he says, well, come back to my house
15:37and I'll change your, you know, you can change, clean up, whatever.
15:42And they said, would, you know, would she go?
15:44Would that happen?
15:45Maybe she needs something else to make her go.
15:48Why don't we get someone in to play a really pestering fan who would,
15:53who would make her want to get out of there as quickly as possible?
15:57Like that.
15:58That was the part that I was offered.
16:01And, er, they didn't even give me a name.
16:04I was just pestering fan.
16:07LAUGHTER
16:08And on the day...
16:09Hello, Julia, hello, Hugh.
16:11Well, Hugh, Hugh, you know, very kindly said,
16:14oh, Toby, welcome, like that.
16:16I said, hi, you know, I had a base...
16:18I looked like a pestering fan, like a, you know, a V-neck sweater
16:22and a baseball cap.
16:23I don't know what pestering fans look like, but that's how I looked.
16:26And, er, Hugh was very kind.
16:28She said, Toby, this is Julia.
16:29And I said, oh, hello, Julia.
16:30And she was very much...
16:33..either she was deep in character
16:35or she really thought they'd got a pestering fan...
16:38LAUGHTER
16:40..to play that character.
16:41But, I mean, there were so many strange things about that day.
16:45At one point, I went off set because I knew someone
16:48who lived a few doors down where we were shooting
16:51in that bit of London.
16:53And I just went for a cup of tea and my friend opened the door
16:56and looked at me and went, yes, and I said, no, it's me.
16:59LAUGHTER
17:00Oh, yeah.
17:01Hi, how are you doing?
17:02I said, I'm just shooting a film down there.
17:03And they said, oh, have a cup of tea.
17:04I had a cup of tea.
17:05I said, I'd better get back to the set
17:07because they'll be shooting the pestering fan scene.
17:10LAUGHTER
17:11I go back to the set and there are all these bouncers going,
17:13and I go, no, no, I'm in the film.
17:16LAUGHTER
17:17And I said, no, no, I really am in the film.
17:19And they go, no, no.
17:20And I went, er, Hugh?
17:22LAUGHTER
17:23Hugh, and Hugh goes, let him on, let him on, like that.
17:26Anyway, things just got weirder and weirder,
17:29so much so that I could write a show about it afterwards,
17:31which I performed.
17:33And, in fact, we did a radio version and I got...
17:36The thing was, I was cut out of the film,
17:39but people started thinking they saw me in it.
17:42LAUGHTER
17:43The show was about me speculating as to what might have happened.
17:46And, er, when I later did the show on radio,
17:50I said, it'd be great if I could get Hugh Grant into it
17:53and then I could cut him out of it...
17:56LAUGHTER
17:57Payback!
17:58..during the show.
18:00APPLAUSE
18:03Absolutely amazing.
18:04I love the fact that Hugh was up for it, went, yeah,
18:06I'd like to come on and then...
18:08Yeah, because he's a class act.
18:10He's great.
18:11Um, so, we need to talk about the Derry Girls,
18:13if that's all right with you.
18:14Yeah, of course, I love to talk about Derry Girls.
18:17APPLAUSE
18:19What a show.
18:20Talk me through the audition process,
18:23because it wasn't straightforward, was it?
18:25Sure, nothing ever has, Claudia.
18:26No.
18:27Right.
18:28No, it wasn't straightforward.
18:29It was sort of, like, um, what I imagine X Factor to be like.
18:33It was, like, the closest thing I can imagine,
18:36the auditioning for a girl band.
18:38Yeah.
18:39And we were sort of, like, tallied in and out of rooms
18:41over, like, different rounds to get the perfect camera.
18:43But before it even went to the audition process,
18:46I was doing a job doing door-to-door sales in Manchester,
18:50and I'd been fired from the door-to-door sales job,
18:54because I didn't make any sales.
18:56I told him it was a pyramid scheme.
18:58It didn't go well for myself.
19:00LAUGHTER
19:02I was crying in a Greggs.
19:03Do you know what Greggs is?
19:04Uh, no.
19:05It's just like a sausage roll place.
19:07They do all their things, whatever.
19:08OK.
19:09It's delicious.
19:10It's delicious.
19:11You've got to get one.
19:12LAUGHTER
19:13Do you know what sausage roll is?
19:14Yeah.
19:15It's a sausage or pastry.
19:16Sounds like a sex move.
19:17Yeah.
19:18LAUGHTER
19:19Everything's a sex move if you've got a good imagination.
19:22It is.
19:23I'm sorry.
19:24I'm away from home.
19:25Um, sausage roll please.
19:26So, I'm in Greggs and, um, just being fired from the job,
19:29which was a pretty, like, humiliating situation to be in,
19:32and I got this email through asking me to audition
19:35for this show called Dear Years,
19:36and I honestly thought it was a documentary and read it
19:38and rang my mum and was like,
19:39it's amazing, but was really upset that I'd been fired
19:41and then I'm on the phone crying to my mum
19:43and then this Irish builder walks on and he's like,
19:45are you looking for a job, love?
19:47And I'm like, I am looking for a job.
19:48And he's like, what happened?
19:49I was like, I was just fired.
19:50And he's like, come down to this building site.
19:52So, he walks me down to this building site.
19:54What?
19:55LAUGHTER
19:56Well, first of all, he said, what's your name?
19:58And I told him it was Searsha and what's your second name?
20:00Told him it was Jackson.
20:01And then he came back and he was like,
20:03is your dad called Sean?
20:04I was like, yeah, is your granddad called Jim?
20:06I was like, do you want to come to the building site?
20:07And I was like, no ball.
20:08Nice.
20:09LAUGHTER
20:10So, I took her down to the building site with him
20:11and he put me on a salary and then a workroom for a month
20:14and it was great.
20:15And I was a wee snagger.
20:16What were you doing?
20:17Just telling people everything they'd done wrong.
20:19I was brilliant at it.
20:21LAUGHTER
20:23APPLAUSE
20:25Yeah.
20:26Snagger.
20:27Snagger.
20:28APPLAUSE
20:30I love, yes, auditions can take a long time.
20:32I loved your audition story for Moneyball
20:34because you were like, I want that.
20:35I want that.
20:36Yes.
20:37So I'm in this audition room with Brad Pitt and Bennett Miller
20:39and I'm nervous as you can possibly imagine.
20:42You know, I just like sitting here next to Brad Pitt
20:44and I'm in the director's office and he's this,
20:48Bennett Miller's this really wonderful director
20:51but kind of a pain in the ass and he knows that
20:54but he's kind of complicated and, you know,
20:57he's sitting back like this with his feet up on his desk
21:00and he's just watching me do the scene.
21:02And he's like, just infuriating, but I love him.
21:04But he's like, um, yeah, I don't know.
21:08It just kind of feels like, you know,
21:11kind of feels like you're auditioning for this role.
21:13It doesn't, like, it doesn't feel like, you know,
21:17this is supposed to be your house and it feels like you're a guy
21:19who's auditioning next to Brad Pitt and you're nervous about it.
21:22Oh, no.
21:23And I was like, okay.
21:25And I said, he goes, yeah, it feels like you're in my office.
21:28And I was like, all right.
21:30And I said, well, then how about this?
21:32This is my house and you can start by taking your fucking feet
21:35off my desk.
21:38And I kicked him out.
21:39I said, you, Brad, get out.
21:40You guys go knock on the door and come back in
21:42and then we'll do the audition.
21:43No.
21:44Wow.
21:45Yes.
21:46It worked.
21:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:50Well, I was a door-to-door salesman too.
21:51Yeah.
21:52Yeah.
21:53And I, you got to, you got to...
21:54It's worth rolling the darts because it wasn't going well up until
21:55that point.
21:56Yeah.
21:57I literally had nothing to lose.
21:58Yeah.
21:59Yeah.
22:00So, there we go.
22:01Hail Mary, it worked.
22:02Wow.
22:03Now, Toby Jones is in a new fantastic film, Mr. Burton.
22:06It's in cinemas from the 4th of April.
22:08I had no idea about this story.
22:10Can you tell us, please?
22:11Yeah, so this, Mr. Burton, is in a new fantastic film,
22:13Mr. Burton.
22:14It's in cinemas from the 4th of April.
22:16I had no idea about this story.
22:17Can you tell us, please?
22:18Mr. Burton refers to the character I play who was a...
22:23He was a Welshman with English parents and he was called Philip Burton
22:29and he was a school teacher and there was a pupil in his class
22:35called Richard Jenkins who was one of 12 children
22:39who showed enthusiasm for his classes in English and then started showing some enthusiasm for
22:47Shakespeare.
22:50And gradually, Philip Burton took him under his wing and through circumstances that you
22:57discover in the film, in the end, Philip Burton adopts him and he becomes Richard Burton.
23:03Oh, wow.
23:04And for the rest of his life, Richard Burton referred to Philip Burton as his father.
23:11And it's the story of their relationship, the story of how Philip Burton inspired him as a teacher
23:20and they were great friends, without spoiling the movie, but I mean, they were great friends for the rest of their lives.
23:27And indeed, Richard Burton, Jenkins as was, would enlist Philip Burton's help on every film set.
23:35You know, he'd come on as a sort of assistant.
23:38Mr. Burton obviously refers to the two characters, Jenkins who became Burton and Burton who was Burton.
23:44That's so lovely.
23:45It's an amazing story.
23:48And it's a beautiful film.
23:51Let's watch a clip.
23:53This is you as Philip Burton and you are giving some vocal coaching, if you like, on the top of a hill.
23:59Maybe it's... Would you word it somewhere?
24:01No, no, it's Tom Ville.
24:02OK, good.
24:04This is true.
24:05I mean, Richard Jenkins was, you know, from the valleys and had a very strong Welsh accent.
24:12And obviously, everyone knows Richard Burton for this extraordinary voice.
24:15Yeah.
24:16And this was the voice that Philip Burton and he invented.
24:19And they did it through lessons such as this one.
24:26And I believe the Burton family were happy, weren't they?
24:29Yeah.
24:30So, I mean, normally, you know, you play...
24:32I don't know if you've played real people before, but it's a strange thing.
24:38And, you know, there's a sort of...
24:40You know, it seems odd to say you're relieved when they're not around to judge your performance,
24:44but you are sort of relieved that they're not around to judge your performance.
24:47But Kate Burton, Richard Burton's daughter, was a consultant and associate producer on the project.
24:56And I was able to go and talk to her before the film.
25:00And she said after...
25:01I'm about to compliment myself.
25:03You've led me that way.
25:05I'm going to compliment her.
25:06We've got to...
25:07She said, it was...
25:09You were my grandfather.
25:11You know, so she viewed...
25:12She viewed Philip as her grandfather.
25:13APPLAUSE
25:14You mentioned playing real people, and so we cannot not talk about Alan Bates versus the
25:26Post Office.
25:27And I know you don't like people being nice to you, so buckle up.
25:38But maybe once a decade, or maybe once in a lifetime, there is lightning rod television.
25:45And that's what that was.
25:47It was a mass injustice hiding in plain sight that many of us didn't know about.
25:52And through your work and Brilliant Gwyneth, he wrote it, and everybody who was part of it,
25:56are you very proud to be part of something now?
26:01Now you're further away from it, if you like.
26:03Yes.
26:04It's an extraordinary honour to play a proper hero.
26:09You know, a hero who shows a lot of values that a lot of people who are supposed to be heroic,
26:17who lead, you know, MPs, people who should be leading the country,
26:23sometimes lack the qualities that he has.
26:28And, you know, to play someone like that, it's a bit of a challenge,
26:33because on the one hand, he's so not interested in promoting himself,
26:38that, you know, I rang him up and I said, Alan, he said,
26:42oh, yeah, I hear you're going to be playing me.
26:44And I said, that's right, Alan.
26:46And he said, well, the thing is, I don't have emotions,
26:49so it won't be very easy for them to make a drama about it.
26:53And I went, right, right, yeah, great, Alan, yeah.
26:56You could just tell me about any struggles.
26:58Yeah, well, I don't really have struggles.
27:00I know what I'm doing, you know.
27:03LAUGHTER
27:04So I had sort of this difficult thing.
27:07And then, the thing that always gets me a bit emotional is,
27:10I rang the producer, I said, well, that was no good,
27:12he's not going to help me.
27:14You know, I think he seems sceptical about the whole project.
27:18He wonders how it will help the post-master's campaign.
27:23They said, well, we'll put you in touch with James Arbuthnot,
27:26who's the Tory peer who was in charge,
27:30who helped Alan a lot in the struggle
27:32and continues to help the post-masters.
27:34And I said to James Arbuthnot, the MP, I said,
27:38I'm having a bit of trouble getting anything out of Alan,
27:41you know, any kind of dimension out of Alan
27:44that isn't just about his work.
27:46And I said, how do you find him?
27:48I mean, is he a pain in the neck?
27:49Does he constantly nag at you?
27:51Are there times when you rather Alan didn't contact you?
27:55You know, all of that.
27:56And he just said, there was this silence,
27:58and James just said,
27:59every moment that I spend with Alan Bates
28:02is an improvement in my life.
28:04Aww.
28:10So you sort of just have to play it straight down the line.
28:14The guy is a phenomenal guy.
28:18I spoke to him today saying I was going to be on the show
28:21and said, you know, what should I say?
28:23And he said, well, you have to say that people are dying
28:27before their claims are settled.
28:29You have to say that, that, you know,
28:30nearly 100 people now have still not had settlements,
28:34that the government have undertaken that by the end of March
28:37they will pay 80% of what the post-masters are owed.
28:42They've undertaken that, so we have to hold them account to do that.
28:45He will do that.
28:47But I hope that everyone was inspired by the show
28:51to continue to put pressure on their MPs,
28:54that this thing just has to stop, you know?
28:58It's true.
28:59APPLAUSE
29:04Rob, we are going to move on to your excellent TV show.
29:07Thank you, yes.
29:08Rob Beckett, Smart TV.
29:09It is on Sky Max and now from Wednesday the 5th of March.
29:13Yes.
29:14Is this the most fun one can have making television?
29:17Yeah. Genuine question.
29:18I think so, yeah.
29:19So it's me, Alison Hammond and Josh.
29:20It's like a quiz show about TV on TV.
29:23So you've won half the battle with the people watching already
29:25because they must like TV, they're watching it.
29:27Do you know what I mean?
29:28And we have different celebrities coming on
29:30and we just have a quiz and mess about and have a laugh.
29:33And also, the good thing about having Alison Hammond on a show
29:36is if you ever feel under-prepared,
29:38she's there and she's done nothing.
29:42Absolutely nothing.
29:44And it just gives everyone else some...
29:46Because she's so happy with doing nothing and she's so good.
29:48But I love her so much. She's a gift.
29:49She's amazing.
29:50She's got the best laugh you have ever heard.
29:52She's unbelievable.
29:53I'm going to show you.
29:54You're going to show me?
29:55Here's a clip.
29:56Yeah.
29:57And this is when you guys are discussing
29:58what your names would be
29:59if you were going to take part in Gladiator.
30:01Yes.
30:02It's a bit of a gear shift from all the Alan Bates stuff, by the way.
30:04So...
30:05Very much more light-ent than sort of life-changing drama.
30:09But there's space for everything.
30:11There is.
30:12We're at a buffet.
30:13We're at a buffet.
30:15And they are at Marvola Bonts.
30:16Let's have a look.
30:17Good fun.
30:18Good fun.
30:19And as I said, Alison Hammond, a total gift.
30:21You did take part in Gladiators.
30:22Yes.
30:23I was on the celebrity version of Gladiators in the New Year.
30:26This is...
30:27Can we describe Gladiators?
30:28Well, they started in America.
30:29You know American Gladiators?
30:30Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:31They don't go like that.
30:32That's not a Gladiator.
30:33Sorry, are you listening to Arnold Schwarzenegger back up there?
30:36That's before I've done it.
30:37I look exhausted.
30:38Are you one of the Gladiators or are you one of the contestants?
30:39No, I'm not one of the Gladiators.
30:40Thank you, you fucking legend.
30:41What a question.
30:42No, no, I'm not the Gladiator.
30:43So I went on as a contestant and they beat me up.
30:44They're so scary.
30:45It's so high.
30:46They just battered me.
30:47I thought it would be a bit of a laugh, but they killed me.
30:48It's horrible.
30:49Were you really...
30:50Could you share your name?
30:51I was the Beaver.
30:52Yeah.
30:53Which is...
30:54Well, like, because it goes out of tea time for kids and the adults, but the adults need
30:59a bit of entertainment.
31:00So I was the Beaver and then I was given a bit of that as the Beaver Teeth.
31:04But because it's filmed up north in Sheffield, there's all these six-year-olds going,
31:06Come on, the Beaver!
31:07Come on, the Beaver!
31:08And then the crowd is going, Beaver!
31:09Beaver!
31:10All the BBC commissioners are panicking and sweating.
31:11I'm like, you've got to keep it in, they're chanting.
31:12I was the Beaver.
31:13I was the Beaver.
31:14I was the Beaver.
31:15I was the Beaver.
31:16Yeah.
31:17Which is...
31:18Well, like, because it goes out of tea time for kids and the adults, but the adults need
31:19a bit of entertainment on them.
31:20So I was the Beaver and then I was given a bit of that as the Beaver Teeth.
31:22But because it's filmed up north in Sheffield, there's all these six-year-olds going,
31:23Come on, the Beaver!
31:34Yeah.
31:35Why are they stoked?
31:38Funny.
31:39Yeah, but...
31:40You are also on tour...
31:41Yes.
31:42...with Giraffe.
31:43Here it is, look.
31:44There it is.
31:45There I am.
31:46Don't forget the hooves.
31:47Hooves, very cool.
31:49It's almost all sold out.
31:50Yeah, there's some dates left at London Palladium.
31:52We're doing a West End run, so I've done a couple of weeks there.
31:54So a lot of it's sold out, but there's still tickets available if you go online.
31:58But yeah, so it's quite...
31:59But it's done so brilliantly.
32:00It must be lovely for you saying, I'm going to...
32:02You didn't know why you're calling it Giraffe, you just...
32:04Well, there's a reason at the end of the show, which I explain why it's called Giraffe,
32:07but also I thought it's quite a good image, you know,
32:09because even if you're just like, why has that man got a really long neck?
32:12Oh, it's a tour show.
32:14Do you know what I mean?
32:15Yeah.
32:16And then for PR, I involved the giraffe in my PR drive to sell tickets, basically.
32:19So I went to the Brits, the Brits Awards, and I thought if I'd...
32:24When my tour went on sale that week, I was like, right, I'm going to the Brit Awards,
32:27this big music award thing, Stormzy's there, Ray, and all this, yeah?
32:30No-one cares about a 39-year-old comedian going to a cool music thing.
32:34So I thought, what if I dress up as a giraffe?
32:37We have an image.
32:39LAUGHTER
32:41It's powerful.
32:42Do you know what?
32:44When I walked onto that red carpet, the light bulbs went like Notting Hill.
32:49Honestly, it was like old Julia Roberts at the red carpet, they went mental for it.
32:53And it was in every paper, I sold all the tickets.
32:55Perfect.
32:56I tell you what, though, it was a lot more fun and funnier thinking of it in my front room
33:01than it was as the car pulls up.
33:03And I'm sat there with my wife with a deflated, at that point, giraffe costume.
33:08Because you can't get it full...
33:10You can't get that in a vehicle.
33:11You can't go full lob on in the car, there's nowhere to put the end.
33:14LAUGHTER
33:15So I'm sat there deflated with spare batteries in my hand
33:18and I feel pathetic, actually, if I'm honest with you.
33:20LAUGHTER
33:21And I said to Lou, I said, is this a good idea?
33:23She went, no, I don't think it is.
33:25LAUGHTER
33:27But at that point...
33:28Too late.
33:29I turned him on, got out, and there I am.
33:31Did you stay as a giraffe all night?
33:34Well, that was the plan, but then I was told quite politely by the organiser
33:37it might be disrespectful to give out an award like that.
33:40Right.
33:41Fair enough.
33:42So what I did was, I took it off, like, shoved it in a bag
33:44and then I had a normal outfit underneath.
33:46Then I got to my table, cos you all have to sit at a table
33:48and have an awkward chat with people from music and acting.
33:51And then Ashley Waters was there, and he came in late, all angry.
33:54Now, the actor Ashley Waters is, you know...
33:56He come in, he went, oh, sorry, I'm late, cos I'd taken it off at that point.
33:59Yeah.
34:00There was some...
34:01I was late, there was some prick dressed as a giraffe.
34:03LAUGHTER
34:05Pooed it through.
34:07There was all kind of idiot, like, attention-seeking knob,
34:10and I'm like, yeah.
34:12These triards, Ash, yeah?
34:14And I'll kick in my little giraffe out.
34:16Well, you've got your hooves on.
34:18I know.
34:19Hooves.
34:20Erm, it's time for some music.
34:22Is that all right?
34:23Let's go on.
34:24Yeah.
34:25She's amazing.
34:27Since releasing her first album last year, this artist
34:30has played Glastonbury, embarked on a sold-out UK tour
34:33and received her first two Brit nominations.
34:36Here, performing all I ever ask, it is the truly excellent
34:40Rachel Cunariri.
34:41That brilliant performance.
34:42We loved it, didn't we?
34:44CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
34:46It is from your latest album.
34:51What a devastating turn of events.
34:53And it's out now.
34:54Yes.
34:55Beautiful cover.
34:56Amazing.
34:57This has earned you two Brit nominations.
34:59Yes.
35:00Yes.
35:01Erm, and it's tomorrow.
35:03Yes.
35:04I know.
35:05How are you feeling?
35:06Erm, I feel a little bit nervous.
35:07I've always wanted to go back to the Brits.
35:09I went when I was a kid in school.
35:11So, to go back as a grown adult with an album and a nomination,
35:15or two nominations, it's...
35:16CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
35:17It's amazing.
35:19You went to the Brit school.
35:20Yes.
35:21Of course.
35:22And so did Adele.
35:24Yes.
35:25And I believe when your nominations were announced,
35:27she sent you flowers.
35:28She did.
35:29She did.
35:30This is...
35:31And have you been able to throw them away?
35:33Erm, I have an attachment issue, so no.
35:36This is those flowers now?
35:39LAUGHTER
35:40Yeah, they're having a time.
35:41Have you got an outfit sorted for the Brit Awards?
35:43I do.
35:44Of course.
35:45I've had a couple of ideas.
35:46I've heard there were some animals at the last...
35:48Yeah, yeah.
35:49But if you did want to wear a giraffe outfit, I could source one,
35:51just saying.
35:52No pressure.
35:53Yeah, yeah, yeah.
35:55Er, Rachel, you're going on tour with Sabrina Carpenter,
35:58and then you have your own USD.
36:00Yes.
36:01Yeah, er, that's quite unreal.
36:02I feel like life has just been throwing lots of very fun
36:05great things at me, and I'm really grateful, but I just
36:08can't really wait to go and see the Darlings and hang out
36:11with them.
36:12My fans are called the Darlings, and they're very sweet and
36:15cutesy, and they're like my internet friends more than fans,
36:18to be honest.
36:19But, yeah, I hold them very dearly to me, and I've been talking
36:22to the American Darlings for a while, so I can't wait to go
36:25out and actually, like, meet them and hang out with them.
36:27What enormous luck, both with the Brits and both the tours.
36:32Thank you so much.
36:33Can we hear it for Rachel?
36:34To the rearing.
36:35Um, before we go, Graham has allowed me to be in charge of this
36:43lever, but I think, and I'm not just saying this, like, in the
36:47faux, I think they've come here, they're going to be disappointed,
36:51because Graham's not here.
36:52So I think, whatever the story, we let them walk.
36:55Do you agree?
36:56No.
36:57No.
36:58If their story sucks, I'm walking over there and I'm launching.
37:01LAUGHTER
37:03We've got to bring the heat.
37:06This is still Graham Wharton's show.
37:08It's the red chair.
37:09OK, all right.
37:10Please let me launch up.
37:11OK, fine.
37:12I can't argue with you.
37:13Hello, red chair, human.
37:14Hello?
37:15Hello.
37:16What's your name?
37:17Peter.
37:18Peter, what is your...
37:19Are you wearing two watches?
37:21No, that's the strap that my...
37:23The bracelet that my daughter's bought me.
37:24Oh!
37:25Whatever he says, you should be able to walk!
37:28LAUGHTER
37:29I'm sorry Graham's not here.
37:31Please share your story.
37:33OK, so this was back in the day when power cuts on holiday
37:37were not that uncommon, and so we're away on holiday,
37:41two couples sharing an apartment, and sure enough,
37:44we'd been out for the night, plenty to drink, coming back...
37:47Oh!
37:48A little bit worse for wear.
37:50Are you going where I think you're going, Peter?
37:52No, I don't think so.
37:53Well, maybe.
37:54LAUGHTER
37:55And so, yeah, it's pitch black.
37:58We managed to get back.
37:59Now, unbeknown to me, I'm a fella.
38:01Well, no, I know I'm a fella, but...
38:03LAUGHTER
38:05Girls apparently hover when they get to a loo
38:08that they're not that familiar with.
38:10I didn't know this.
38:11We all said goodnight, woke up the next morning,
38:14and we were greeted to...
38:17The loo seat was down, lid was down,
38:19a little brown pile decorated.
38:21LAUGHTER
38:22Nasty!
38:24I got you to...
38:25I know, but can I just say, in brackets, he was wearing a bracelet,
38:38and his daughter had named him.
38:40Yeah, but then he did talk about having a shit in the dark
38:43on a toilet seat, do you know what I mean?
38:45That bracelet can't get you out of that.
38:47I'm not.
38:48I don't get the science behind that.
38:49What I didn't know, I was confused by the hover and the...
38:52No, but surely when it hits the lid, something's...
38:55There's a bounce-up.
38:56There's a baguette.
38:57You're not going to hear it splash.
38:59You will hear a thud.
39:01It sounds like there was a blackout,
39:02but had nothing to do with electricity.
39:05I really want to do it.
39:06Would you go and sit?
39:07I'll go sit.
39:08OK, go sit.
39:09I just want to pull it.
39:10APPLAUSE
39:12Yeah, that way.
39:13OK.
39:15You want to do it again?
39:17Yeah, yeah, yeah.
39:18You want to do it?
39:19Ask him what your story is as well.
39:21No.
39:22Tell me when you're ready.
39:23Good idea.
39:24All right, well, there was...
39:25There you are.
39:26No, you don't have to do a story.
39:27We're all going to do it,
39:28because we only get to do this once,
39:29because Daddy's not here.
39:30Shall we do it?
39:31Come on.
39:32Everyone do it.
39:33Come on, Toby.
39:34I'm going to tell you about the time I went to Graham Norton.
39:36Yeah?
39:37And he wasn't there.
39:38Steady, brace yourself!
39:39There was a woman named...
39:40LAUGHTER
39:45APPLAUSE
39:46Yay!
39:48It was so fun.
39:49Was it fun?
39:50Yes.
39:51We all did it.
39:52We all did it.
39:53We all did it.
39:54Wow, wow.
39:55So please say thank you to all my guests.
39:57Rachel Cinarieri.
39:58LAUGHTER
39:59Rob Beckett.
40:00APPLAUSE
40:01Toby Jones.
40:02APPLAUSE
40:03Ciarcia Monica Jackson.
40:05APPLAUSE
40:06And Chris Pratt.
40:08APPLAUSE
40:09Please join Graham next week
40:11to look back at some of the highlights of this season,
40:14and then he'll be back in this chair in September.
40:17Thank goodness,
40:18when normal service will be resumed.
40:20Thank you so much for having me.
40:22Good luck.
