00:35Happy Friday, everyone.
00:36Thank you so much for tuning in.
00:39All right, all right, all right, all right.
00:41Coming up, why is Damien Lewis doing this?
00:45And I should have here, just a bit.
00:48Is Michael Fassbender the new Bond?
00:50What do you mean you're waiting to hear?
00:52Well, I mean, this is breaking news, by the way.
00:56And what is John McNally's favourite tipple?
00:58Is Pinot your one of choice?
00:59It's a fine of choice, because it doesn't taste of anything.
01:02Yeah, it's like toilet milk.
01:05All right, all still to come, but now it's time for It's Your What's Up.
01:07Yay!
01:09It's your WhatsApp, it's your WhatsApp.
01:13It's your WhatsApp, it's your WhatsApp.
01:18Yes!
01:20It's your WhatsApp.
01:23OK, OK, OK, OK.
01:25Here I have a WhatsApp.
01:28And this is genuine, it's from Gwen in pen.
01:32Dear Chris, as much as I love pub genius, I can't help thinking, Will has been playing
01:36it a little safe this year.
01:40Any chance you might be able to get him to up the stakes?
01:44Well, let's give it a go.
01:44Here's Will!
01:53Will!
01:54Will!
01:56Let's just turn into booing.
01:58This is not...
01:59Gwen in pen says you're playing it safe.
02:01Yeah.
02:01Well, I mean, I've got the power of slow-mo.
02:04How's that sound?
02:05Well, you mean you'll do it and then we'll slow it down and then we'll show it?
02:07No, no, I've genuinely got the power of slow-mo.
02:09You mean you can do slow-mo?
02:11I can, yeah, of course I can, yeah.
02:12What, you can actually do slow-mo?
02:14I can do anything you like, anything you like in slow-mo.
02:16All right, go on then.
02:17OK, I'll prove it, hang on.
02:18What do I do?
02:19I'll toss a coin in slow-mo, how about that?
02:22Just a coin?
02:23OK, just a slow-mo.
02:23I just, oh, all of these are countdown.
02:25OK.
02:26Three, two, one!
02:34It's the best one Tricky's ever done.
02:37And that's all we've got time for this week.
02:40All right, I mean, now that I've seen you do it, it's quite easy, that kind of slow-mo.
02:44OK, all right, I'll tell you what, I'll jump off the desk in slow-mo.
02:47For Gwen in pen?
02:48Yeah.
02:48OK, the wrist factor keeps on going up, Gwen.
02:52In slow-mo.
02:53In slow-mo.
02:53All right.
02:54We're not slowing it down, you are.
02:55Yeah, I'm slowing it down.
02:56Because you have the power of?
02:58I have the power of slow-mo.
02:59OK, go on.
03:01Three, two, one!
03:11And we're back.
03:13All right, but you have, obviously you need to now do the pub trick in slow-mo.
03:19OK, what I'm going to do, Chris, is I'm going to put this pint over my head without spilling a
03:23drop.
03:23Can we don't?
03:26No, no, no!
03:38Would you like a drum roll?
03:40I'd like a drum roll, please.
03:41OK, well.
03:50All right, like never before, let's hear it for Will.
04:00Excellent work from Will there.
04:02Right, our next guest bewitched us in billions and Band of Brothers,
04:06and now he's swapped treading the boards for Strumming the Chords.
04:09His new album Sweet Chaos is out now,
04:11and his tour begins in October, so let's get to it.
04:13It's the dashing Damien Lewis.
04:20Damien, final.
04:21We've got some final going up, man.
04:23I brought you a record, Chris.
04:25There you go.
04:26How cool is that?
04:27There you go, record player.
04:28We've got to get a record player, just so we can, you know,
04:30just put the record on.
04:33It's your second album.
04:34I thought it was like your fourth or your fifth.
04:36It's your second, my friend.
04:37Yes.
04:38It's very good, honestly.
04:40Oh, I'm glad, thank you.
04:41You said I was like, well, we're improving.
04:42Yeah, we're trying to improve.
04:43You try to improve each time, don't you?
04:45Oh, would you class yourself as a musician?
04:48Yes, always, always been a musician.
04:50Yeah.
04:51But obviously only just released records in the last three years and had done quite a lot
04:58of acting before that, so people know me as an actor.
04:59Yeah, no, we know about the acting.
05:00Yeah, you've done that.
05:02But, but yeah, ever since I, yeah, I used to take my motorbike around Europe with a tent
05:06and a guitar on the back when we were in my 20s, and I used to play all over Europe
05:09on
05:09the streets busking.
05:11So I've always done it.
05:14And I suppose acting took off and I went that way and I didn't.
05:17And anyway, now I'm making records, which I sort of feel like I should have been doing
05:23earlier.
05:24Yeah, no, good for you.
05:25It's the way I feel about it.
05:25Why the heck not?
05:26You only live once and all that kind of stuff.
05:28Sweetcast tracks for you.
05:29I'm not just saying it, title track.
05:30I think it's an absolute banger.
05:32Album launch signings, Leeds, Liverpool, Marlborough, London, Brighton, Kingston.
05:37And that's, you've already done a couple of them.
05:38So I've done a few.
05:39So we're at Rough Trade East down in Brick Lane.
05:41Great, isn't it?
05:42What a laugh.
05:42Which is brilliant.
05:43And what's the vibe at these signings?
05:45What's going on?
05:46You know, do you?
05:47I just play, I play with the legendary David Catelyn-Burch, who is in World Party.
05:52Wow.
05:52Remember World Party?
05:53Of course I do.
05:54Love World Party.
05:54So I just go out with him.
05:56He's on the bass and he's got a beautiful voice.
05:58And I'm just on my acoustic.
05:59So we do a little stripped back, sort of unplugged, but plugged set.
06:04We stick them into some amps.
06:05This is us.
06:05We're TF Unplugged, but plugged.
06:07Unplugged, but unplugged.
06:07And also plugging.
06:09And also we're plugging, aren't we?
06:10You said it slightly differently.
06:11Unplugged, but plugged.
06:13No, excuse me.
06:15And that immediately gave it a whole different feel.
06:17Excuse me.
06:18You heard it differently.
06:20You hear what you're listening for.
06:22No, no, no.
06:23All I'm saying is I'm nicking it.
06:24I'm nicking it for tonight.
06:26Does your acting help you in that situation?
06:29Because it's all performative anyhow, isn't it?
06:31Yeah, I love, I love, yes, I love playing on stage.
06:35I love playing with other musicians.
06:36That's the amazing thing.
06:37I love writing the songs.
06:39I love recording the songs.
06:40But I love playing with brilliant musicians and making music.
06:43It's that incredible thing where, you know, we have music around us all the time.
06:47Don't give me no one likes going to a theatre or to a cinema or an art gallery or a
06:52museum more than me.
06:53And I love going with other people to do a thing and rub shoulders with other human beings.
06:58Get out of, get away from your telly or off your phone.
07:02I love that, that sort of communal shared experience is critical for all of us, I think, to keep going.
07:09But making music with wonderful musicians and hearing the thing take shape and then harmonising with someone like David on
07:18stage and hearing that is so pleasurable.
07:21And people liking it so far.
07:23People liking it so far.
07:25That's the bonus.
07:26People liking it so far, yeah.
07:27So when you said before, you know, you were doing music and you were touring around and you were busking
07:30and all this kind of stuff and you were acting as well, then the acting took off.
07:34Yeah.
07:34Was it neck and neck?
07:36Was it, if the music had taken off, could you have gone that way instead?
07:40I am a musician as well as an actor.
07:42And I just hope that, I hope, you know, there's lots of sort of chat about sort of, oh, actor
07:47makes record and everyone gets, oh.
07:49Oh, and I should have, yeah, just a bit, oh, six, I'm going to do six and sevens for my
07:54daughter.
07:56Oh, six, seven.
07:57By the way, that's great for the trail.
07:58Can we just put it in for the trail?
07:59Coming up later, find out why Damien Lewis is doing this.
08:04That's literally how we'll start TFI on Friday.
08:07Do a bit more.
08:07But, you know, I just hope people, anyway, I just.
08:10But I hope.
08:11And then he did it the fifth time.
08:13But I, anyway, the point is, you know, just hope people listen to the music and take it at face
08:18value.
08:18And don't worry too much about, you know.
08:20Well, Kiefer Sutherland was in last week.
08:22He's got his fourth album.
08:24Great album again.
08:25Really great album.
08:26Genuinely, genuinely great album.
08:27Why the heck not?
08:28The last time I saw you in America, you were on the Today Show, on The Breakfast Show there,
08:31talking about a film that they've already enjoyed or are enjoying.
08:35And we're not, we have to wait till September.
08:37What is that film?
08:39It's called Pressure.
08:40Yeah.
08:40And it is a film, it's a very British film because it's a film about a weather forecast.
08:44It is, isn't it?
08:45And what Brit doesn't like to talk about the weather or go and see a movie about it?
08:50But it's the most important weather forecast of modern times.
08:53It is very exciting.
08:53I will say it's about the 72 hours where Eisenhower has to make a decision when to launch D-Day.
08:58Right.
08:59And this man called Captain Stag, played beautifully by Andrew Scott, is sent by Churchill to go and give the
09:06weather report.
09:07And he says, oh, no, no, no, you can't go on June the 5th.
09:09That would be terrible.
09:10And Eisenhower, played beautifully by Brendan Fraser, is like, oh, I want to go when I want to go.
09:15But I don't know when to go.
09:16And why are you telling me different things from my own weatherman?
09:19And then Monty, who I play, is jumping up and down in the background like a terrier, sort of going,
09:25well, we've got to go when we go because all the soldiers are ready and we must attack because I'm
09:30ready with everybody.
09:32And he couldn't say his R's.
09:33I'm not taking the piss out of Monty because obviously he was our great hero.
09:36We love it.
09:36But he had a problem with his R's.
09:38And anyway, so this was made into a beautiful play by David Haig and then adapted into a screenplay.
09:46And this is the film.
09:48When do they go?
09:49When should they go?
09:51What's the risk to life?
09:53Yeah.
09:54And got 300,000 people ready, some of them already in the boats, eating, sleeping.
09:59How do you keep it a secret?
10:00And it ratchets up attention.
10:02Yeah, I've seen clips.
10:04And it's gone.
10:05People are loving it.
10:07It's here in September.
10:07There's a bit of a gap.
10:08I think, I think they didn't want to release it in Europe and the rest of the world because everyone
10:13would be watching the World Cup.
10:14Well, presumably you'll be doing the rounds during interviews again.
10:16And you don't need to come on our show, not because we don't want you, because we'll just use that
10:18bit.
10:19Yeah, save it.
10:21Let's hear it for Damien Lewis.
10:24And Damien's album, his new album Sweet Chaos, is out now, right?
10:27Our next guest, once dreamed of being a heavy metal guitarist, became a Hollywood A-lister instead, and somewhere in
10:33between it all, raced sports cars at Le Mans.
10:36He's here to tell us all about season two of The Brilliant Agency on Paramount+, which hits the screens
10:41on Sunday, June 21st.
10:43Please welcome, in all his splendour, it's Michael Fassbendor!
10:59Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
11:02You know how much I love your show.
11:04Yeah.
11:05Don't you?
11:05I'm really happy to hear that.
11:07Do I love it too much?
11:08No, I think you can't love it enough.
11:10And you know what was great was that, you know, you said that in the first season.
11:13Yeah.
11:13And it was, you know, it is a show that had a sort of slow burn in the first season,
11:17kind of like reading a book.
11:18You get to know the characters slowly, and then it starts to really sort of amp up around episode four
11:23or five.
11:24But this second season now, it just doesn't let off where it ended, you know.
11:29Oh my gosh, it's so good.
11:30It's feature film, it's five-star feature film level super television, and you can't draw breath.
11:38I've watched eight one-hour episodes of the season two.
11:41I haven't seen my family for like a week because of it.
11:44So your direct boss is Geoffrey Wright.
11:47His boss, and therefore your next bigger boss is Richard Gere.
11:50Yeah.
11:50Richard Gere's boss is Dominic West, and all of you, your actual boss is George Clooney.
11:55Yeah, no, I've had a good few interesting bosses, Ridley Scott.
11:59Yeah, of course, of course.
12:01David Fincher, you know, some amazing bosses.
12:04Yeah.
12:04And then maybe some not so amazing.
12:06We won't talk about that.
12:07Let's not go there, it's Friday.
12:08Exactly.
12:08And you've got a hit show on your hands.
12:10Oh my gosh.
12:11Yeah.
12:11When you got the job with Tom Hanks, your boss on Band of Brothers, you also auditioned for Pearl Harbor.
12:18That's right.
12:18And you narrowly missed out to that, some other guy.
12:22Ben Affleck, I think it was.
12:23Ben Affleck, yeah, it was a close one though.
12:25Okay, so what happened to him?
12:27How close were you to getting that job over here?
12:29I don't think I was close, to be honest, but I might have got one of, you know, the smaller
12:32parts, because usually, you know, when you go in and audition, it's for the big part,
12:35and they might give you a smaller one.
12:37But they did send me a nice letter and said that they liked the audition, but not this
12:42time.
12:42Yeah, I've heard you say that before, and they don't bother doing that unless they sort
12:45of mean it, because why would they?
12:46It's never happened to me before or since.
12:48All right.
12:48Well, you've done all right, Sid.
12:50Yeah.
12:50No, listen, I got lucky.
12:52It was a very interesting time, because I was working nights, like unloading these lorries,
12:55and it was eight to seven in the morning.
12:58So I didn't really have the energy for auditions.
13:00There weren't many coming up, but I said, okay, enough of the night work.
13:03Started working behind the bar again.
13:04Yeah.
13:04Monkey Chews, which was placed down in Queen's Crescent.
13:07And then those two auditions came literally the next week.
13:11It was almost like sort of, you know, put sort of the energy out there, and then I was
13:15lucky enough to get, you know, the Band of Brothers gig.
13:18In various interviews that I've watched and read about, you have said about the Band of
13:24Brothers prep that you went to a boot camp.
13:27Yes.
13:27In some interviews, I don't know if you know about this, in some interviews you say it's
13:3110 weeks, in others you say it's 10 days.
13:34It was 10 days.
13:35Was it?
13:35Okay.
13:36I'm confusing it with 300.
13:38300 we did 10 weeks.
13:39Okay.
13:40I mean, you've been to...
13:41Depends on the day.
13:42Depends what happened the night before.
13:43I know, but when you say 10 weeks, I'd go with the 10 weeks, because I bought it.
13:46Yeah, yeah, you were like, wow, that was real...
13:48Okay, so this is...
13:4910 days.
13:50So 10 days was the first real physical, you know, you're in...
13:52We went out to like a boot camp.
13:54Yeah, in Hatfield, and with Tom Hanks on this kind of stuff.
13:56Yeah, yeah, yeah.
13:56Was that the fittest you'd ever been in your life up to that point, at the end of that?
14:01I'm not sure.
14:02You know, it's more about, like, what you can do with lack of sleep, I suppose, which
14:07now I'm learning with children.
14:08Tell everyone how come you and Alyssa got together.
14:11There was nothing else to do.
14:13We were on a peninsula together in New Zealand.
14:16This is a true story.
14:16And we were living in, like, caravans.
14:18Why, why, why?
14:19The director wanted us there.
14:19What were you making?
14:20We were making a really beautiful film called Light Between Oceans.
14:24Which is a great film.
14:25Yeah, and director Derek Cienfranc, and he likes, you know, to immerse you in the world.
14:31So we were staying where, you know, he wanted us actually living in the house where we were
14:34living in, you know, as the couple in the show, in the film.
14:39But, you know, we were like, we don't want to live there.
14:41And so we got, like, these small little caravans.
14:43We were all sort of lined up beside each other.
14:45And I was here.
14:47The director placed his in the middle.
14:49Which I thought, hmm, he likes to watch.
14:51I mean, he's a director.
14:52I don't know.
14:53But he sort of set the scene, you know.
14:55And so I was like, you know, Alyssa and I started, you know.
14:58Well, I'd met her on the dance floor a year before in Toronto.
15:02Right.
15:02And I thought I was a pretty good dancer.
15:05It sounds terrible.
15:06And then she started dancing, and I really felt like, you know, Steve Martin in The Jerk.
15:10I was like, wow, I was so out of rhythm.
15:12And then I met her again on another dance floor.
15:14And then we sort of ended up doing this film together.
15:18So we sort of, you know, chemistry happened.
15:20We started to sort of get together.
15:22But I would sneak to her trailer at night.
15:25And then at 4.30 in the morning, I would sneak past his trailer.
15:29Oh, my gosh.
15:30So we tried to keep it secret for, like, as long as we could.
15:32In case the grown-ups were watching.
15:33That's so funny, man.
15:35And then we got married on screen.
15:37And then, you know, we got married in real life.
15:39People have talked to this morning.
15:40I know it's not the Bond question.
15:42But it is Bond adjacent.
15:44Yes.
15:45Because they've just, they've watched that.
15:46It's exciting to find out.
15:48I'm waiting to hear.
15:48Yeah.
15:49Everyone's waiting.
15:50What do you mean, you're waiting to hear?
15:52Well, I mean, this is breaking news, by the way.
15:56Can you imagine?
15:57That who is going to be, you know, the next Bond.
15:59And I always think that the bookies must be like, don't tell us yet.
16:02Don't tell us yet.
16:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:03Because they must have been making a fortune through the years of people going, you know, betting on various people.
16:07What have you had?
16:08Nothing.
16:09Honestly.
16:10You're doing that Martian Lion thing again, aren't you?
16:12I feel like I'm in Curb Your Enthusiasm.
16:16Pretty pretty.
16:18Yeah.
16:19So, of course, you're a mate of Tom's, aren't you?
16:22Tom Hardy.
16:22Yeah.
16:23Yeah.
16:23We went to drama school together.
16:24And you were Band of Brothers together.
16:25Band of Brothers together.
16:27I haven't seen him in a while.
16:28Last time I saw him was on a flight.
16:31But I don't, you know, I don't know.
16:33I have a feeling they're going to go younger, you know, because we had Daniel Craig's sort of Bond and
16:38the evolution of that.
16:39Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:39I would always be curious to see what was he like coming out of Eden.
16:43I think that's what they're going to do, isn't it?
16:44I think that's interesting.
16:45They sort of have to, I suppose.
16:47Yeah.
16:47When you, you just mentioned Tom Hardy and getting on a flight there.
16:50Do you still do the thing?
16:51You know, when you, and you, you go back and forth over to America more than most people would, I
16:55imagine.
16:55Maybe not as much these days, you know, actually.
16:59But the odd time, yeah.
17:01Did you, do you still get excited about who else is on the plane?
17:04Yeah, it's always nice, you know, when you're sitting in comfortable seats as well.
17:08You're like, whoa.
17:09Best ever other people on the same plane as you.
17:12Christopher Walken.
17:13Come on.
17:14Seat behind me.
17:16What did you do there?
17:16It was a small flight.
17:17It wasn't like one of those lounge back ones.
17:19It was a small flight from Montreal to New York.
17:22Just by chance.
17:23And he was behind me in one of those single seat aisles, you know, or maybe two maximum.
17:28And yeah, just by chance.
17:30And I was sitting there the whole time.
17:31I was like, God, I say something.
17:32Don't want to go and, you know, annoy him, annoy him.
17:35And then on the way out of the plane, I was like, excuse me, Mr. Walken.
17:38And he's like, yeah.
17:40And I was like, terrible impersonation.
17:41Can you go on, do it, do it.
17:43I'll try and do one.
17:44I'll say, today I'm going to cook a dish.
17:49What is it?
17:49Chicken with popcorn shrimp.
17:52Very good.
17:53That's terrible.
17:53That's pretty good.
17:55Damn.
17:56Michael Fassbender, a.k.a. Christopher Walker.
17:59Yay!
18:00All right, and don't miss whatever you do, season two of The Agency on Paramount+.
18:04Still to come, Richard Baker.
18:07Ed Gamble, John McNally.
18:09And the legendary lioness Beth Mead's going to be here.
18:13But first, into the break, it's Jack Savaretti with the brilliant We Will Always Be The Way We Were.
18:18Don't let go, don't ever think that you are on your own.
18:24I hear you falling.
18:27I hear you falling.
18:32I've got you now.
18:34You've got to know I'll never let you down.
18:39I hear you falling.
18:42I hear you falling.
18:45Oh, yeah.
18:47I hear you falling.
18:51I hear you falling.
18:54I hear you falling.
18:57When it feels like you're falling.
19:01Welcome back to GFI Unplugged.
19:07By the way, that was Jack Savaretti and his new album, We Will Always Be The Way We Were, is
19:11out now.
19:12Love Jack Savaretti.
19:13Still to come, Richard Baker, Ed Gamble, John McNally.
19:18And the legend, the lioness legend is Beth Mead.
19:21But Will's back.
19:22Hey, Will.
19:25Very good.
19:27Never gets boring, does it?
19:28Calm down.
19:28You're all adults.
19:30Chris.
19:30Yes.
19:30There's been an outcry.
19:31OK, tell us why.
19:32The nation is not happy.
19:33How come?
19:35Because we didn't do TFI Trumps last week.
19:38You mean these?
19:40OK.
19:43All right.
19:43I'm going to go for the theme tune to one of our favourite items.
19:50Chris and Beck chuck chickens into a massive tank of mushroom soup.
19:56And, and, then Delia Smith blows it up.
19:59Oh!
20:01Beat that.
20:03Impossible.
20:03Roll the tape.
20:05Now, what's the betting that I can't get a chicken, right, from my desk here, throw it and land it
20:09in the soup?
20:10What's the betting?
20:10Can I have a drum roll, please?
20:14The betting that I can't do is probably pretty good.
20:16See if I can.
20:17OK?
20:22Number two.
20:27You've got to help us out now.
20:28We're going to explode this fish tank.
20:30It's half a ton.
20:30It's got 400 gallons of chicken and mushroom soup in it.
20:33We've got no idea what's going to happen.
20:35At five.
20:37Four.
20:38Four.
20:38Three.
20:39Two.
20:40One.
20:41One.
20:41One.
20:51Oh, oh, the fun we had.
20:53I don't make TV like that anymore.
20:55God bless Delia Smith.
20:55Delia, if you're watching, you're the best.
20:57All right, round two.
20:59OK.
21:00OK, so I have got, oh, God.
21:02Chris and Will pose naked for a calendar.
21:06Not that old chestnut.
21:08Hello.
21:08You're talking about your old chestnuts.
21:12I didn't say those old chestnuts.
21:14I said that old chestnut.
21:17All right, I've got for Drew Barrymore throws herself at Will.
21:20CHEERING
21:22What have you got?
21:23Uh, 91.
21:24Fun factor, 92.
21:26CHEERING
21:27Roll the tape.
21:28You've got a picture in your office, Will.
21:29I've got a picture in my office.
21:30Oh, hi, Will.
21:31I was wondering where you are.
21:33CHEERING
21:37Look at Will's face.
21:42I've been waiting to meet you.
21:43I didn't see you there.
21:45CHEERING
21:47You know we were married for three years after that.
21:50Oh.
21:50Well, you kept that quiet, didn't you?
21:53OK, so not Drew Barrymore, Drew Barryless.
21:55Yeah, yeah.
21:56All right, this is a decider.
21:57I'm going for All Saints Sing Under the Bridge at the desk.
22:00They actually sang it at the desk.
22:02Very good.
22:04I've got Chris sticks his head into a giant tub.
22:07You don't know what yet.
22:09LAUGHTER
22:10A giant tub of marshmallows.
22:13Oh!
22:13OK, fun factor.
22:1471.
22:15Fun factor, 93.
22:18I will never want to feel
22:22Like I did that day
22:24Take me to the place I love
22:28Take me all the way
22:31I am
22:35That was amazing.
22:40Will's been amazing.
22:41That was Will!
22:42Yay!
22:45Stop!
22:47Our next guests are two fab comics,
22:50who host two fab podcasts,
22:52and have joined forces now to make a fab new TV show.
22:55It's called Unacceptable.
22:57It begins on Sunday, July the 5th,
22:59and it's on TLC and Discovery+.
23:01So let's get pally right now with Ed Gamble and Joanne McNally!
23:05CHEERING
23:08Hello, Ed!
23:08Oh, hi, Chris!
23:10Nice to see you.
23:11Long time.
23:12Hi, Mike.
23:13Thank you, Steve.
23:15Oh, my gosh.
23:16Yeah, Ed, it's like you're a co-host.
23:18I know, I basically work here permanently.
23:20Do you mind having Ed back on again?
23:21Not at all!
23:22I mean, you know, why not?
23:24You're good at collaborating, of course.
23:26You both podcast at Kings and Queens.
23:29So it's going to work.
23:30It's got a hit written all over it.
23:31This cannot fail, can it, this show?
23:32I don't think so.
23:33That's why we're here.
23:34Yeah, it's impossible.
23:35We wouldn't be on your show if we thought it was going to fail.
23:38Yay!
23:39Might be the opposite.
23:40Oh.
23:42So you're hosting and you're captaining.
23:44Yes, I'm a team captain.
23:46Let's talk all about it.
23:47Over to you, Ed, first of all.
23:48So the heart of the show is we have brilliant comedian guests.
23:51Genius comedians.
23:52No pressure, Joe.
23:53The line-ups are amazing.
23:56This is like old-school royalty panels.
23:59Come on now.
23:59They're fantastic.
24:00Is it Traitor's level?
24:01It's beyond.
24:02Beyond Traitor's level.
24:04It's beyond.
24:06I can say that because I don't host the Visualise Companion podcast for this one.
24:10I host the main thing.
24:11Okay, all right.
24:12Joanne's a team captain, of course.
24:13We have Rich and Iwadi as a team captain.
24:15Yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:15And we have amazing guest comics.
24:17And a comic will bring in an unacceptable opinion.
24:20They read the top line to the audience.
24:22Yeah, yeah.
24:22The audience vote on whether they think it's unacceptable.
24:25And then the comic has a chance to argue there.
24:28Yeah, and it has to start off pretty unacceptable, doesn't it?
24:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
24:31Panel shows.
24:31What is the secret sauce for a good one?
24:33Because you've both done loads, haven't you?
24:35You've done...
24:36I've done loads.
24:37I've done none.
24:38Really?
24:39No, this was an absolute baptism of fire for me.
24:40Isn't that weird?
24:40I just think you have.
24:41No, I've done none.
24:42Well, why the heck not?
24:44Well done.
24:45I was never...
24:45Yeah, I know.
24:46Yeah, well, I mean, no one else was trying to bag me.
24:50I was an easy booking.
24:51Oh, you were too busy doing all your things around the world.
24:53No, no, not at all.
24:54Breaking America.
24:54No, I was sitting at home waiting for Mock the Week to call.
24:57Never rang.
24:58Mock the Week.
24:59Mock the Week.
24:59I love it.
25:01Dara, as a fellow Irishman, still no call.
25:03Yeah.
25:03And then, so I'd never...
25:05I'd certainly...
25:05I'd barely done a panel show, let alone been a team captain for one.
25:09So it was an absolute baptism of fire for me.
25:11Can you please tell everybody about your amazing London Palladium record?
25:15Yes.
25:16This is so good.
25:17I held the record for most alcohol purchased in the London Palladium of any show ever.
25:24That's amazing.
25:25And that's been around...
25:26I mean, I don't know how old the Palladium is.
25:27I know.
25:28Yeah.
25:28What's that?
25:29116.
25:30116 years.
25:31Thank you, Tilly, by the way.
25:32That's amazing.
25:33116.
25:34You lead them into it with the titles of your tour.
25:36I know.
25:36Well, I put alcohol in the titles.
25:38Was that the Prosecco Express tour?
25:40The Prosecco Express tour.
25:41That was the one.
25:42Yeah.
25:42I think in Leicester Square they were drinking wine out of cups and stuff.
25:46They ran out of glasses.
25:46They ran out of glasses.
25:48Tour names.
25:48Can you beat Prosecco Express?
25:51Absolutely not.
25:51No.
25:52I can't.
25:52I like the fact you just go, nope.
25:54No, mine's...
25:55What's your one called?
25:55What's your last one?
25:56Fresh Hell is my new one.
25:58Fresh Hell, yeah.
25:58That starts in January, yeah.
25:59Yeah.
26:00I just pick names that I think are cool.
26:01But Joanne knows how to do a tour now.
26:04You really do.
26:04Do you know my one now?
26:06Oh, go on.
26:06Am I allowed to say it?
26:07If I say it really slowly?
26:08Well, hang on a second.
26:10Have you written a tour show that you can't say the title of?
26:14Do you not know the name?
26:14I know the name.
26:15I can say it.
26:15You can say it because it's too with that card.
26:17Sound it out properly.
26:20Pinotphile.
26:20Pinotphile.
26:21Is it Pinot Grigio?
26:22Yes.
26:22Yeah, because you love wine.
26:25Yes.
26:26Is Pinot your wine of choice?
26:28It's my wine of choice because it doesn't taste of anything.
26:31Yeah, it's like toilet duck.
26:32Yeah.
26:33We're very different people.
26:34Yeah, we are.
26:35Which is why this works.
26:37Or it doesn't.
26:38Yeah, we don't know.
26:39Yeah, let's see how it goes.
26:40Do you still drink?
26:41Yeah.
26:42Okay, so what would you...
26:43I like to taste my wine.
26:44Right.
26:45Okay.
26:47A friend of mine used to only buy wine she didn't like, so she didn't drink as much.
26:50What?
26:51Cheap, warm, white wine from Aldi or Liddell.
26:54Yeah.
26:54And that was her way of not becoming an uncle.
26:57Yeah.
26:57It's just me she might have been.
26:59When the reels get that extensive.
27:01Yeah, that's a red flag.
27:02Yeah, it is.
27:03Unacceptable begins Sunday, July 5th on TLC and Discovery+.
27:06Who else is on it?
27:07Who else comes to join the fun?
27:08Oh, my goodness.
27:09We've got...
27:09So, Ramesh is doing it.
27:11Rhys James is doing it.
27:12Maisie Adams is doing it.
27:13Fatty Errol Guri is doing it.
27:14Roisin Conaty.
27:15Tom Davis, Roisin Conaty.
27:17Catherine Ryan's doing two episodes.
27:18This is panel show royalty.
27:20Oh, Chris McCausland.
27:21It's like every guest is a winner.
27:23All right.
27:24It's high end.
27:24Who's been your favourite team member?
27:27I couldn't say.
27:27I love them all equally.
27:28No, but you could say...
27:29No, if I actually vote one off, that would be unfair.
27:31But to say your favourite, that's fine.
27:31Well, I'm a big Catherine Ryan fan.
27:33And when we were on the team together, it was very...
27:35And me, Catherine and Fatia did an episode together.
27:37And it was very Spice Girls coded.
27:41I saw Catherine on one and she was on Rich's team.
27:44So she did one on each.
27:46She's done two episodes.
27:47Okay.
27:48I forgot that.
27:48She's done two episodes.
27:49Who's ep was she best on, do you think?
27:51Your ep or Richard's ep?
27:52When she was on Richard's team, her opinion, her main opinion was all men should have vasectomies.
27:58And I think it's a real highlight of the show.
28:00Okay.
28:01And then...
28:02What was her?
28:02I can't remember what her argument was on mine.
28:04She didn't have the main opinion on your episode.
28:06She was arguing against...
28:07Fatia did.
28:08And Fatia says that all marriages should be arranged, which is well worth a watch as well.
28:12Okay.
28:12So can you just give us some of those...
28:13It's not a spoiler, is it?
28:14Nobody really minds.
28:15No, I don't think so.
28:15Give us some of those unacceptable premises.
28:17So the royals should be paid more.
28:20There's the vasectomies.
28:21There's the arranged marriages.
28:23There's the Olympics is a waste of time.
28:25That was Chris McCausland.
28:25Yeah, yeah.
28:26These are things that genuinely would get a gasp from the audience as well.
28:30And one of the ones I saw that you led the charge on was only men are funny.
28:34Yeah, women aren't funny.
28:35That was hilarious.
28:36So that's a round called the Stitch Up.
28:38I believe it.
28:39That's a round called the Stitch Up.
28:40That was hilarious.
28:41We give someone a card and they don't know what the opinion is going to be.
28:44They've not prepared this in any way.
28:45Right.
28:45And they have to defend this opinion, even though it's something they definitely disagree with.
28:49So Joanne had Women Aren't Funny.
28:51Harriet Kemsley had All Single Mothers Are Lazy.
28:54And that, for me, this is BAFTA winning television.
28:58Yeah.
28:59How's North America going?
29:00The plan would be to squeeze a Netflix special out of somebody.
29:04Netflix, I assume.
29:07I'd go to them first.
29:09Yeah.
29:09I'm going to go straight to their office with a shank when I get to LA and just demand one
29:14and just sit in the lounge.
29:15They give me one.
29:15No, the tour is, you just have to keep tipping away.
29:19You just do this.
29:20You just have to keep tipping.
29:21Yeah.
29:21There's nothing you can do.
29:22Ed, how are you in America?
29:23Yeah, I went out there beginning of this year.
29:25How many dates are you?
29:26I toured, I did maybe 20, 22.
29:28It's hard.
29:29So have a little chat about that.
29:30It's hard.
29:30Because some places you sell really well.
29:33Go on.
29:34I actually, when I look.
29:35That is ninja level radio hosting.
29:38Get two guests in and go, just have a chat about that.
29:40Yeah.
29:42Go on.
29:42Off you go.
29:43When my American agent gave me my sales, because I'm going to Salt Lake City and stuff, which
29:48I can't.
29:48I'm like, why?
29:50You've got a huge Mormon audience.
29:51I have a huge Mormon audience.
29:52I know.
29:53I know.
29:53I need to please them.
29:55Yeah.
29:55I was looking at what I thought were the sales, and I was like, Las Vegas, three, Salt Lake
30:01City, one.
30:02I was like, Denver, three.
30:04This is so depressing.
30:05And my agent was like, no, they're the number of nights you're doing.
30:07I genuinely thought.
30:08But no, no, no, no.
30:09Sorry, no.
30:09No, the sales were no much better.
30:13Then it was like, oh, Salt Lake City, eight.
30:15Oh, fab.
30:15But it was like, that's how bad I thought it was.
30:18And that's pretty much, like, it's tough.
30:19Like, it's a slog.
30:20So it's probably like, I was like, put me in a cozy 30s eater, and I'll sell it out.
30:25And I'll look fantastic.
30:26Would you be nervous ever?
30:27Oh, God, yeah.
30:28You seem like the least nervous person ever born.
30:31A hundred percent.
30:32What do you think?
30:32Yeah.
30:33I think Joanne, like, exudes this amazing confidence, but I'm sure there must be nerves.
30:39Yeah, I'm a sensitive little Sally deep down.
30:41I remember I did a, there was a charity gig in the Albert Hall, and it was maybe after
30:46lockdown, I can't remember.
30:47I was so, I won't tell you what I took, but it was a lot of medication just to get
30:51me
30:52out there.
30:52Was any of it legal?
30:53I was.
30:54Well, I didn't get it legally, but it is legal if you have a prescription, yes.
30:57Okay.
30:58If you're a horse.
31:02If you have an equine prescription.
31:04If you're a horse.
31:04If you have some hooves and a suggestion of a tail, maybe even a mane.
31:09So yeah, legal in a way.
31:10Yeah, yeah.
31:10If there are other people, a lot of other people are allergic to you.
31:15If you're a horse.
31:17But no, I would suffer.
31:18I would suffer with the nerves big time.
31:20It depends what's at stake.
31:21But even when you're talking about suffering with the nerves, you've become more relaxed.
31:24Yeah, I know.
31:25Yeah, I know.
31:25I'm enjoying myself.
31:26I think this is really nice.
31:27It's so funny.
31:28I've been wanting to meet you for ages.
31:29Well, it's great to meet you.
31:30Honestly, so many fans at the top of the tower.
31:33People absolutely adore you.
31:34I listen to you most mornings.
31:35Do you actually?
31:35Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:36I've tried to get on the show several times.
31:38Well, you should have.
31:38Thank you, Ed.
31:39You just pop in.
31:40You're my access point.
31:41Yeah.
31:42He doesn't listen and he comes in anyway.
31:43Yeah, I listen.
31:44Come in any time you don't want to listen.
31:45You just turn up downstairs.
31:46They'll let you in.
31:47You're always welcome.
31:48It's Gamble.
31:49Show up with me.
31:51And don't miss that brilliant new TV show.
31:53Unacceptable on TLC.
31:55Still to come, Richard Bacon and the legend that is Lioness Beth Mead with a huge announcement.
32:01But first, take this into the break.
32:03with their brand new single, Summer Forever.
32:04It's dodgy.
32:06Yay!
32:08Summer lasted forever
32:11With a day by day
32:14When we thought about the future
32:18Seems so far away
32:21Seems so far away
32:26Let the future shine
32:29Oh yeah
32:33Let the future shine
32:39Welcome back to TFI Unplugged.
32:43And that was the brilliant Dodgy and Summer Forever from the latest album Hello Beautiful.
32:47Still to come, Beth Mead and something very special from Frank Skinner and David Baddiel.
32:52I wonder if you could possibly guess what that's going to be.
32:55Our next guest is a telly top dog who's been lighting up our screens for over 30 years.
33:00His new podcast, Why Are You More Successful Than Me?, is out now.
33:04It's brilliant.
33:05With new episodes every Thursday.
33:06So we'll bring the breakfast and he'll bring home the Richard Bacon.
33:17I love it here.
33:22Come on!
33:23So hang on a minute, several times a day a tunnel is formed out there and people are applauded into
33:28the studio.
33:29Yeah and also sometimes we're not even on the air.
33:30Do you remember I did an edition of my Radio 5 Live show from my living room and the two
33:35guests were you and Alan Dabas.
33:37No, I forgot about that.
33:39Oh yeah, it was brilliant man.
33:41It was brilliant.
33:41Wasn't it your last show or something?
33:43It was, it was my last night time show on 5 Live and for some reason I did it from
33:45my living room.
33:46Probably inspired by when you did TFI from your house.
33:48It was great.
33:49In the same street.
33:51In the same street is where you did TFI, yeah.
33:53Absolutely, 100%.
33:54And he said, and he started, so I said to him, Alan, why are you more successful than me?
33:57And he said, anyone who's successful at some level is unhappy.
34:02That success...
34:02That's such an underbottom.
34:03I know.
34:04But do you think there's anything in it?
34:06That people who are really driven at their core have some unhappiness about them?
34:10Well, there's drive, isn't there?
34:12There's push and there's pull.
34:13But then there's natural creativity.
34:15And I think, you know, it's like, what, you know, how do you, how do you be happy?
34:19Well, happiness comes and goes, but you can always be happier.
34:21Even if you're really depressed, you can be happier in that moment.
34:24If you're really happy, you can be happier still.
34:26So you can always be happier or unhappy.
34:28What I thought after we had that brunch with Jimmy Carr, is I walked away from that thinking,
34:31because I've known you for a long time, I thought you seemed like the happiest I'd ever actually known you.
34:36Okay, there's a reason for that.
34:37Her name's Natasha.
34:38I know.
34:39You have one of those.
34:40You're a score, Rebecca.
34:41Yay!
34:42Let's hear it for the go!
34:46So exciting, though.
34:47Right, let's talk a bit more about America.
34:49Yeah, go, yeah.
34:50Okay, so you're in America, you land in America.
34:52I mean, it was a strange one, because I quit my radio show to move to LA.
34:56I hadn't really thought it through.
34:57You just went for it.
34:57I just went for it.
34:58And I went, I had a show commissioned, and it was an interview series,
35:01where I was going to interview British people doing well in America.
35:03My first guest was Ricky Gervais.
35:04And my visa got held up by the embassy, and I couldn't get my passport back.
35:09So I'd quit my job.
35:10I'd got a show commission that I was hosting and producing.
35:13And Ricky was waiting for me in New York.
35:14And I had to call him and say, I can't get on the aeroplane,
35:18because the embassy will not give me my visa or my passport.
35:21Right.
35:22And the whole show collapsed.
35:23And it cost so much money to collapse it, they wouldn't put it back on its feet again.
35:27So I moved there without a job.
35:29So I had a year without a job.
35:31God bless Rebecca at this point.
35:33I know.
35:34Yeah.
35:34I know.
35:35And ever since, by the way.
35:36But it was all, I mean, she absolutely is the core of my happiness.
35:39She's wonderful.
35:40As is Natasha.
35:41But I had no job for a year, and I was about to come back,
35:45and my agent's CAA got me a job in New York,
35:48hosting a show for National Geographic.
35:50And my first day's filming was I went for a hike with Barack Obama.
35:53Right.
35:53Who was still the president.
35:54I'm so glad you got on to that.
35:56Sorry, that's where I was going.
35:57Oh, was it?
35:58Yeah, you've just cut to the chase there.
36:00How the heck did that happen?
36:01I just, I got a job hosting a show on National Geographic that has a big reputation.
36:05And I was in New York, and I got a call from the head of comms at Nat Geo,
36:08and he went, just be careful.
36:09And I went, why?
36:10And he said, you're being monitored by the Secret Service.
36:13And I was like, standing in this hotel room,
36:15having had a big night the night before.
36:17And I was like, yeah.
36:17Oh, my gosh.
36:18They weren't, are they monitoring from now?
36:21Just as long as they weren't monitoring last night.
36:23And then a week later, I interviewed him in Yosemite.
36:27It was the dying month of his presidency.
36:29He arrived in Marine One, and we're walking through these redwood trees.
36:32And if you look at a photo, it looks like it's just the two of us.
36:35And I can see behind the cameras.
36:37And there were just, the Secret Service brought machine guns
36:39because they thought that assassins might hide behind the trees.
36:42So there's a load of, so we're walking through,
36:44we're celebrating the centenary of America's Park Service.
36:47But behind the cameras, there's just people with machine guns
36:49tracking backwards the whole time.
36:50Wow.
36:51We're on a bear hunt.
36:52Yeah, we're on a bear hunt.
36:52But seeing him arrive in Marine One for an interview with you was quite something.
36:57And that's a high bar.
36:59Yeah.
36:59And that's got to help with future guest booking.
37:02Yeah, yeah.
37:03I can imagine.
37:04It helps enormously.
37:04And it also just, it helps you personally, doesn't it?
37:07When you land an interview like that.
37:09I wouldn't know.
37:11You've got me.
37:12Yeah, exactly.
37:13I've got the guy who met, I've danced with the man,
37:15who's danced with the girl, who's danced with the Prince of Wales.
37:18That's where I am.
37:19That is basically it.
37:20And so when...
37:21You like it because it's high energy.
37:22You once said to me about presenting and making shows,
37:24it's all about energy.
37:25Of course it is.
37:26It's definitely about, but life's about energy, isn't it?
37:28It's actually not what you say.
37:29It's just how you say it.
37:30Yeah.
37:30You know, that's it.
37:31That's why you're so gentle and so beautiful and so lovely.
37:34This is completely apropos of nothing,
37:36but I just remembered my wife, Rebecca, reminded me of something,
37:38which is when we got engaged, it was like 18 years ago,
37:41we went to the Groucho to meet you,
37:43it's a member's club in London,
37:44and Rebecca said to you,
37:46oh, we've got engaged.
37:47And you said to her,
37:48you said to her,
37:48you can go out with Richard Bacon.
37:52You can hang out with Richard Bacon.
37:53You can kiss Richard Bacon if you want to,
37:56but you do not marry him.
37:58Well, I was wrong and Rebecca was right.
38:00Do you know why?
38:01Because Rebecca knows everything,
38:02and you will confirm that.
38:04Yeah.
38:04And if Rebecca doesn't know some things,
38:05Tash will know those things,
38:07and if Tash doesn't know some things,
38:08Rebecca will know those things.
38:08They're similar in ways, those two, I think.
38:10I think they have a similar kind of energy.
38:12Because they're married to two absolute nonsense.
38:13Exactly.
38:14Richard, great to see you, man.
38:15Great to see you.
38:16Richard Bacon,
38:17Why Are You More Successful Than Me?
38:18is out now.

40:58and when you took it to camp
41:01you put sofas on the pitch

41:03Right in the middle
41:05I know
41:05Right in the middle
41:06No offside on them sofas

41:20Apparently so
41:20Wow
41:21So a couple of weeks ago
41:23we all heard the news
41:24you announced you were going to leave Arsenal
41:26How long have you been there for?
41:28Highlights
41:29Just give us a bit of that
41:30and then we'll get on to today's massive news
41:32Yes
41:34Nine and a half years at Arsenal
41:36Legend
41:36Legend

41:45A league cup
41:46Yeah
41:47And my favourite Champions League
41:48Come on
41:50I can't complain
41:51Bit of a purple patch
41:52or a red and white patch
41:53wasn't it?
41:53Well yes
41:54Okay
41:54Now did you know
41:56what you were going to do next
41:57when you announced
41:58Look at that smile
41:59When you announced you were leaving
42:01because today
42:02it's all over the news
42:05I had a few options
42:06I wasn't sure on what
42:08it was going to look like
42:09but yes
42:09it is very much cemented right now
42:11How does that work?
42:12Okay

42:19or your partner
42:20do you hear whispers
42:22how do those few options
42:24manifest themselves?
42:25I mean I think
42:26when you become a free agent
42:29clubs obviously come in
42:30and ask questions
42:31to your agent
42:32your agent obviously
42:33brings them to you
42:34sees if they fit with you
42:35as a player
42:36if it's something
42:36that you would like to do
42:38and there was
42:39there was a few
