1
00:00:07,480 --> 00:00:09,575
I've got two music superstars
on the show tonight.
2
00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:10,615
Bono.
3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:11,615
Good evening.
4
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:12,655
And Taylor Swift.
5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,735
Hi, Graham.
6
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,655
Which is good, cos I finally get
the chance to sing my
7
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,655
U2-Taylor Swift mash-up.
8
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:18,735
HE CLEARS HIS THROAT.
9
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,335
No, no, I don't know about this.
10
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,295
I think we should just do the show.
11
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,535
Let's start the show!
12
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,175
His program me contains
some strong language
13
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:34,415
This program me contains
some strong language
14
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:35,455
Oh!
15
00:00:35,480 --> 00:00:40,335
Hello!
16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:44,495
Hello, good evening,
you're all so welcome to the show.
17
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,255
And it's Halloween weekend.
18
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,775
Ooh!
19
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,055
Halloween, when those who have
departed come back to haunt us.
20
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,055
LAUGHTER.
21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,215
There's our glorious new leader,
making his first speech
22
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,215
behind the now famous
Downing Street lectern.
23
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,655
Almost four foot high
and made completely of wood,
24
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,735
Rishi Sunak is our new Prime
Minister.
25
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:10,375
LAUGHTER.
26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,535
I wasn't talking about...
27
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,935
One of the first things
Sunak is going to do
28
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:20,015
is squeeze the wealthy.
29
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:24,655
"Pay your taxes, darling!"
30
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,695
Rishi does get accused of being out
of touch with common people
31
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,295
because he's so rich -
but to be fair to him,
32
00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:35,975
this week he was spotted happily
chatting away with someone who's
33
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,295
a lot poorer than he is.
34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,615
LAUGHTER.
35
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,295
Let's get some guests on!
36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,295
Later we'll have music
from the stunning vocals
37
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:51,615
of Lady Blackbird!
38
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:55,375
But first, she's the broadcaster
and former Arsenal and England
39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:58,295
footballer whose powerful new memoir
is How (Not) To Be Strong -
40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,615
please welcome Alex Scott.
41
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,135
Wowza, you look amazing.
42
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:10,535
Have a seat, do.
43
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,575
He's the Oscar-winning star
of Theory of Everything,
44
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:17,095
Les Mis and Fantastic Beasts,
it's Eddie Redmayne, everybody!
45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,535
Hello.
46
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:24,535
Reign
47
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:24,735
how
48
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:24,895
6P6
49
00:02:24,920 --> 00:02:29,575
'Nu?
50
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,615
I'm really well.
51
00:02:30,640 --> 00:02:35,815
Have a seat, do.
52
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,455
With hits like Shake It Off,
Love Story and Blank Space,
53
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:39,895
this record-breaking
singer-songwriter is one of
54
00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,575
the biggest pop stars in the world.
55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:42,575
It's...
56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:43,655
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
57
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,175
Taylor Swift, everybody!
58
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,695
Have a seat, do.
59
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,295
And that's not all.
60
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,935
And in a career spanning over four
decades, he's won 22 Grammy Awards
61
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,735
and is the lead singer of one
of the world's biggest bands -
62
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,455
it's Bono everybody!
63
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,415
Oh, yes, oh, yes.
64
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,255
Are we doing hugging?
65
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,295
Go, say hello.
66
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:32,375
Not a bad line-up.
67
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:33,415
Welcome, all.
68
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,815
So lovely to see you all.
69
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,855
Scrubbing up.
70
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,215
Very nice.
71
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,495
Scrubbed up, thanks for having us.
72
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,415
So, Taylor and Bono,
have you worked together?
73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:42,415
No?
74
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,415
Not yet.
75
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:45,175
We're going to talk about it later.
76
00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:46,255
OK.
77
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,655
But no, but, Bono,
you did a very nice thing
78
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:49,855
when Taylor got to Ireland.
79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,895
I've been...
80
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:51,935
I'm a Swifty.
81
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,655
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
82
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,975
We're highly aerial birds, you know.
83
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,655
Ancl over the years we've, you know,
we've bumped into each other.
84
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,615
Became friends.
85
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,975
Ancl he doesn't want to take credit
for the fact that he's so nice.
86
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,175
He sent me roses when
I played in Dublin.
87
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,815
He doesn't take credit
for doing anything.
88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:19,655
Red roses, you know.
89
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:20,855
He's a truly great person.
90
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,975
There you are, from your
Irish fan club, Bono,
91
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,215
the Edge, Adam and Larry.
92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:25,895
Ancl he's just that
great and thoughtful.
93
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:27,055
Just the best there is.
94
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:28,295
I better have a drink.
95
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:29,335
Here's the thing.
96
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,015
So Bono and Taylor,
not worked together,
97
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,175
but weirdly, Taylor and Eddie,
you have worked together.
98
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:34,215
We have.
99
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,255
Oh, wow.
100
00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:36,295
Yeah.
101
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:40,455
It was a decade ago.
102
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,575
I once died in his arms
in a screen test for Les Mis.
103
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:44,975
Oh, I did not know this.
104
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,215
I did not know this.
105
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,255
Yeah, that...
106
00:04:47,280 --> 00:04:49,655
There's a lot that people don't
know about this story.
107
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,055
Basically, I was auditioning
for two roles in Les Mis,
108
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,175
and I'd clone a few auditions
and gone to New York and whatever.
109
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,775
And I think it had been
established that I had more
110
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,215
of a look of Cosette,
but I had the range,
111
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,815
vocally, of Eponine.
112
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,015
So it was established that, like,
I was there for a good
113
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:12,415
time, not a long time.
114
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,535
I wasn't going to get this role,
but they were like, you know,
115
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,415
do you want to come to London
for one last screen test
116
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,575
and you'll get to screen test
with Eddie Redmayne?
117
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,735
I'm like, this seems
like an experience I want
118
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:23,935
to have in my life.
119
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,615
You're like one of my
favorite actors.
120
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,655
You're so ridiculously talented.
121
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,055
Ancl I was like, so,
yeah, I'll go to London.
122
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,095
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
123
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,255
Yes, indeed.
124
00:05:32,280 --> 00:05:35,575
I get there and they're like, OK,
so we really want to like make
125
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:37,935
you look like Eponine.
126
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,895
You know, she, she she
wasn't, like, loaded.
127
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,055
She had brown teeth,
you know, like she didn't
128
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:46,495
have a lot of money, so...
129
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:47,655
A 19th century street urchin.
130
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,295
I tried to say it in
a way that makes sense.
131
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:51,295
She didn't floss.
132
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:52,375
Exactly.
133
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:55,535
They were like, we're actually going
to paint your teeth brown for this.
134
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,335
Ancl I'm like, so you're
going to do that after I meet
135
00:05:58,360 --> 00:05:59,415
Eddie Redmayne, right?
136
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,295
That's that's not something you do
before, I get to meet people
137
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,015
and then you do the brown teeth?
138
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,895
They're like, no, no,
everybody's going to meet
139
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,055
you with the brown teeth.
140
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:09,535
We're going to like, do, like,
141
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,735
big circles under your eyes.
142
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:11,775
Like you're near death.
143
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,815
Ancl I was like, this has immediately
become a nightmare for me.
144
00:06:14,840 --> 00:06:17,695
You know, you were so nice,
but I think when I met
145
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:18,735
you, I was like...
146
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,735
MUMBLES: "It's so nice to meet you."
147
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,575
You know, you walked in as a 19th
century French street urchin.
148
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,135
And I was not expecting that.
149
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,935
But my overwhelming memory of it,
Taylor, was I had just been
150
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,095
to Pizza Express beforehand,
and I'd had some some
151
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,175
some garlic dough balls.
152
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,335
Oh, God.
153
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,015
I thought we were going to be
singing opposite each other,
154
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,695
you know, but but they had us...
155
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,335
It was so weird because Taylor
was dressed fully as Eponine
156
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:45,975
and I was, like, in my tracksuit.
157
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,415
And they had us on the floor,
like singing sweet
158
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:49,455
nothings into each other.
159
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,855
And all I knew is I just
had garlic breath.
160
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,775
Ancl I had brown teeth.
161
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:56,775
Garlic breath symphony.
162
00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,735
So just was one of these,
I was trying to show emotion,
163
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:01,815
and at the same time not
to punish you.
164
00:07:01,840 --> 00:07:02,935
You were weeping.
165
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,575
Ancl I just thought it was
because of how I looked.
166
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:06,615
Felt so bad.
167
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,015
Like, I have to be
close to her right now.
168
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,455
Yeah, this was not the method?
169
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,095
It's nice to hear we were both
struggling in that moment.
170
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:14,295
It was a beautiful audition.
171
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,655
And, Alex, I feel that because...
172
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:17,815
Now you nearly met
Taylor once before.
173
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:22,135
Nearly, on Strictly Come Dancing.
174
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,095
I got all the way
to the quarterfinal,
175
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,375
got booted out at that
stage, obviously devastated.
176
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,975
But when they told me the news,
oh, next week's music
177
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,215
act is Taylor Swift,
I was like, seriously?
178
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:33,855
I just need one more week.
179
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,055
Let me come back.
180
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,055
The following week.
181
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,775
I finally did it.
182
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,015
But now here we are.
183
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,015
Yeah, yeah!
184
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,015
Talking about Les Mis, Samantha
Barks is of my closest friends.
185
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:53,175
Never go to a karaoke bar
with Samantha Barks, she's amazing.
186
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,895
I was singing Lady Marmalade,
giving it all I got.
187
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,575
And then she just gets up
and then I was like,
188
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,615
oh, yeah, I remember.
189
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:02,575
I can't actually sing.
190
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,855
I was embarrassed.
191
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,295
Samantha Barks, who was in
Les Mis, and is amazing,
192
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:13,015
plays Elsa in Frozen.
193
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,975
Ancl I took my kids to go
and see, and they got
194
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,615
to meet Elsa in Frozen,
and it was the best, like,
195
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,295
sort of celeb name-drop
I've ever succeeded.
196
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:24,335
Can't talk about Frozen.
197
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,375
Oh, no.
198
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:26,415
What happened?
199
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,335
Came second in the
Oscars to the song.
200
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:29,895
Oh, wow.
201
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,295
Yeah.
202
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,895
I'm sorry.
203
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,095
My life is filled with Frozen
fractals all around.
204
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,135
It's the best lyric.
205
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,175
It's a great lyric.
206
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,135
It's a great song.
207
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,215
Yeah.
208
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,895
And you should listen
to that, Bono - let it go.
209
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,855
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE.
210
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:56,295
Bono brings us his new memoir.
211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,335
Here it is, Surrender:
40 Songs, One Story.
212
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:01,255
It's out on Tuesday,
the 1st of November.
213
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,895
And so was this...
214
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,975
like, a lot of people
are bringing out books.
215
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,255
Was this a Covid project?
216
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,095
No, it started before that.
217
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:13,375
I wanted to explain to my, you know,
my friends, my family,
218
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,815
especially our fans,
but my family, what I've been doing
219
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:21,455
with their life kind of thing.
220
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,095
Because they, in many ways,
permission me to be not just
221
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,495
an artist travelling around
the world, but as an activist
222
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:30,535
travelling around the world.
223
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:32,855
So I just, you know,
we don't really talk
224
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,695
about that stuff at the table,
you know, at the dinner table?
225
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:36,935
So I wrote it out.
226
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,575
Ancl it's the story of U2
and this the story of
227
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:42,215
these incredible people.
228
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:44,375
It turns out the most
interesting thing about me,
229
00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:46,535
or the most extraordinary thing
about me, are the
230
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:50,855
relationships that I'm in.
231
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,335
Ancl I met most of them,
in one week in Mount Temple
232
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,255
Comprehensive School in Dublin.
233
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:04,615
You know, I met the other
three members of the band
234
00:10:04,680 --> 00:10:11,615
and I started dating
Ali the same week.
235
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,535
The story of you and Ali
is just amazing, there
236
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:20,935
you are at the beginning
and here you still are.
237
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:22,655
Was Ali cool with all the stories?
238
00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:25,295
Like there's a story about one
of your very first dates?
239
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:26,335
Oh, look at you.
240
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:27,375
Wow.
241
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,535
What are your very first
dates when you decided
242
00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:30,535
to take it upstairs.
243
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:32,935
Do you know the story
I'm talking about?
244
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,295
Yeah, I had a box room most,
as you know, most houses in suburban
245
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,495
Dublin were two bedrooms and the box
room in the house.
246
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,295
Ancl I was in the box room and I had
it sort of minimalist,
247
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:45,455
sort of enforced minimalist,
so all white, no shade
248
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:48,095
on the the bulb, you know,
just the naked bulb.
249
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:50,735
Ancl I was telling her
it was really an art gallery.
250
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:54,735
And she's 16 or whatever.
251
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,735
Ancl I really didn't want her
to meet my father, Bob.
252
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,375
So I was on a half clay,
brought her home, brought
253
00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:01,535
her up to the bedroom.
254
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:03,255
We were laying there on the bed.
255
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,695
On the bed, I would say.
256
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,575
And, and he gets a half clay,
my father, Bob, and he's
257
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,335
like, "Where are you?"
258
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,375
Ancl I'm like...
259
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,255
I said to Ali, she said,
"What are we going to do?"
260
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:20,335
I said, panic.
261
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:21,935
She said, I'm not going to panic.
262
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,415
I said, get under the bed.
263
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,335
She said, I can't get under the bed.
264
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,375
Get under the bed.
265
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,575
She got under the bed.
266
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:28,655
The da comes in.
267
00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:30,735
"So what are you doing
home from school?"
268
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,415
Ancl I'm like, it's a half clay.
269
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:33,455
It's Wednesday.
270
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:34,895
Why are you home from work?
271
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:35,895
Oh, yeah.
272
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,655
"Why are you in bed?"
273
00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,895
On the bed!
274
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:44,135
Ancl I said, oh, I'm sick.
275
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,255
Oh, yeah.
276
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,935
Ancl for the tough man,
he sits down on the bed
277
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,295
and says, so how are you?
278
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:54,575
What's going on in school?
279
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,735
You OK?
280
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,615
And under the bed...
281
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,495
I was OK.
282
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,895
Ali was living under two
Hewsons and she would be
283
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:09,455
for a very long time.
284
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,495
God, I cannot wait for
the film of your life.
285
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:13,695
I want the movie now.
286
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:14,735
There will be some...
287
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:15,735
Eddie Redmayne.
288
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,215
Work on my accent.
289
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:19,855
There's a great picture in the book.
290
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:20,975
I love this.
291
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,615
This is an early, very early gig.
292
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:23,815
This must be at school.
293
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,855
Is it?
294
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,895
Oh, wow.
295
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,575
Who I love in this, who's absolutely
loving this early U2
296
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,415
gig is this woman here,
Look at her.
297
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,415
She is living her best life.
298
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,935
Edge has got the hair brushed
forward, getting a bit cool.
299
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:40,575
Yeah, but, you know,
everyone starts somewhere.
300
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,535
We've got a very
early gig of Taylor.
301
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,335
This is you.
302
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:45,495
Now, you haven't sold out.
303
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,375
Oh, yeah.
304
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:52,015
APPLAUSE.
305
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:52,975
Do you remember this?
306
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,095
Yeah.
307
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,855
This is a big deal for me.
308
00:12:56,880 --> 00:13:01,295
I was 14 and it was an event called
the Nashville Rubber Duck Race.
309
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,855
Ancl it is exactly as it sounds.
310
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,735
They would put rubber
ducks in the river.
311
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:07,775
Wow.
312
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,815
And see who won.
313
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:09,855
Wow.
314
00:13:09,880 --> 00:13:11,295
Ancl I was the official
entertainment.
315
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,695
As you can see, the banner
is incredibly high concept.
316
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,135
It just says it like it is,
you know, like, this is her name.
317
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,495
Did you play before
the race or after the race?
318
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,575
Oh, you know what?
319
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:23,775
That's a really good question.
320
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:25,935
I think I blocked a lot of this out.
321
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:26,975
OK, fair enough.
322
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:27,975
I won't dwell.
323
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,055
It might be triggering.
324
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:30,255
That was the whole crowd.
325
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:31,935
The whole crowd is in that shot.
326
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:33,375
I can see three people there.
327
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,095
They do look like fans
of rubber duck racing.
328
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:42,055
Now, the thing is, you know,
lots of people were in bands
329
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,695
and dreaming of being successful,
including Mr Eddie Redmayne.
330
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,655
What was the name of your band?
331
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:47,735
What, what?
332
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,735
You were in a band?
333
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,495
I may have been.
334
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,215
I spent 25 years covering that up.
335
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:04,615
I was in a band when
I was about 18, 19.
336
00:14:04,680 --> 00:14:06,615
There were three of us in the band.
337
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,575
It was called Blue Tonic.
338
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,015
Incredible.
339
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,215
And what sort of music?
340
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:19,855
Well, I'll tell you,
it was sort of...
341
00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:21,335
I quite into sort of emo.
342
00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,975
I was going to say rock,
but actually it was pop.
343
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,375
And the worst about was the two
other guys in the band were great
344
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,255
singers, and I just sounded
like a choirboy.
345
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:30,295
It was disastrous.
346
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:31,255
Like, every song.
347
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,375
Harmonies?
348
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:33,415
Lot of harmonies.
349
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,455
Enunciation?
350
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:40,975
Such incredible diction.
351
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:46,335
That was so good!
352
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:47,895
Did you do gigS?
353
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,415
I don't think we ever did a gig.
354
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,775
I'm hoping you don't have any
footage or any photographs.
355
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:54,815
Annoyingly, I don't.
356
00:14:54,840 --> 00:15:00,975
Then it never existed.
357
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,015
It never happened, it was never
here, 'twas but a dream.
358
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,215
And Alex, when they were
kids, dreaming of being
359
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,375
singers, you were a kid.
360
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:08,615
But now, what is this?
361
00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,495
Because I've got a picture
of you in your Arsenal strip here.
362
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,415
Now, how old are you there?
363
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:19,455
Ten.
364
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,455
Yeah, but I'm at the stage
where I want really wanted a fringe,
365
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,695
but I just had afro frizzy
hair going on.
366
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,535
But am I right that when you got
spotted, you didn't particularly
367
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,735
want to be a footballer?
368
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,815
No.
369
00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,895
I used to play in a football cage
at the end of my road with the boys,
370
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,015
and then there was a referee
in the local area who was like,
371
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,095
"There's a women's team at Arsenal,
I really want to take you down."
372
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:45,015
Ancl I was like, "No,
I'm totally fine."
373
00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,415
My mum had packed me a Capri Sun
for a packed lunch that clay.
374
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,815
I was like, "I'm totally fine
in this football cage."
375
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:52,975
Ancl she was like, "No,
we are taking you."
376
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,535
Ancl then I got signed
to Arsenal when I was eight.
377
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:56,615
Yeah, really early on.
378
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:57,655
APPLAUSE.
379
00:15:57,680 --> 00:15:58,855
What is a football cage?
380
00:15:58,880 --> 00:15:59,895
A football cage?
381
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:00,895
Yeah.
382
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:01,935
It was just literally...
383
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:02,975
Like, there was concrete.
384
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:04,455
It was just nothing in there.
385
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:05,895
But for me, it was everything.
386
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:07,375
It's where all the dreams started.
387
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,775
Literally, you had cars either side
of this football cage,
388
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,135
and if the ball went out,
the car would come along and pop it.
389
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,455
Ancl that would be the end
of playtime like, "Well,
390
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,535
I'll see you tomorrow."
391
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,215
They should introduce that
into professional football.
392
00:16:18,240 --> 00:16:19,255
I'd love that.
393
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:20,335
Playing against a car.
394
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,935
My friends are so jealous that I'm
getting to meet you,
395
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,535
because we just look at you as such
an inspiration, like
396
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,255
breaking through in such
a male-dominated industry.
397
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,935
You should be so proud of yourself.
398
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:30,015
Thank you.
399
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,415
But you've clone so much
with the US national team,
400
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,255
and you've brought them on stage,
and we see that over here
401
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,695
and we're like, "That is it.
402
00:16:36,720 --> 00:16:38,935
How incredible is that?"
403
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,375
So we know you've always been behind
supporting other women
404
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,415
and leading the way,
so thank you.
405
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,975
APPLAUSE.
406
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,535
In the book, your father,
I mean, he's such a big
407
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,535
character in this book.
408
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:53,415
And you had a, I mean,
an interesting
409
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:54,455
relationship, you know...
410
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,455
Combative.
411
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,935
Yes.
412
00:16:59,960 --> 00:17:04,495
I mean, to the point where...
413
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,815
Tell them about when you flew him
out to the stadium in in America.
414
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:08,815
Oh, Texas.
415
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,455
Texas.
Yeah.
416
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:14,495
My father, Bob, you know,
he's hard to impress.
417
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:19,455
Ancl I have him...
418
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,895
It's his first time in America,
and he's in Texas.
419
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,055
I think it might be Dallas
somewhere like that.
420
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,575
Ancl it's a really loud you know,
it's just, in Texas, it's like a 747
421
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,295
going over your head,
the sound of the crowds, you know.
422
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,015
Ancl I thought, "This
will definitely impress him."
423
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:38,015
Ancl I had the lighting
person ready to, when I
424
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,055
introduced him, "First time,
425
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,935
not only in the United States,
first time in the Lone Star
426
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:44,975
State of Texas.
427
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:45,975
My father, Bob!"
428
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,015
Light comes on at the mixing desk
in this giant arena.
429
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:51,175
Ancl he raised his fist
like this, you know,
430
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:52,655
and this is part mischief here.
431
00:17:52,680 --> 00:17:59,935
But afterwards, he came in,
and his eyes were red, an he,
432
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,535
you know, he put his hand out
and I thought, "Oh, my God,
433
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,175
my father's going
to give me a real...
434
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,215
This could go off.
435
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,975
This is like a compliment."
436
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,255
Ancl I swallowed, and he just said,
"You're very professional."
437
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:18,015
Ancl that meant everything to him.
438
00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,135
Yeah.
439
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,055
And you knew it was a compliment.
440
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:26,215
Coming from sort of punk rock,
professional, not one
441
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:33,135
of the great adjectives.
442
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,015
But from him, it was
THE great adjective.
443
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:42,135
Yeah.
444
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,015
And the book is full,
as you'd imagine, of lots of names.
445
00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:46,695
There's world leaders,
lots of rock stars.
446
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,295
A name I wasn't expecting to find
here - Frank Sinatra.
447
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,375
Yeah, I mean, I...
448
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:51,535
Frank Sinatra was just incredible.
449
00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,135
But, you know, he's
another tough guy.
450
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,535
I'm attracted to tough guys.
451
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,975
He said I was the only
man with an earring
452
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,415
he was ever going to like.
453
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:03,295
And, you know, Edge and I wrote
a song for him called
454
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,895
Two Shots Of Happy, One Shot Of Sad,
which I actually...
455
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,015
In Palm Springs, we were drinking...
456
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:13,015
Very un-Italian situation.
457
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,415
We were actually drinking tequila,
he was drinking a margarita,
458
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,095
and I sang him this song,
which he sadly passed away
459
00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:19,335
before he got to record.
460
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:26,255
If I can remember, it went...
461
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:36,295
# Two shots of happy
462
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,655
# One shot of sad
463
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:45,135
# You think I'm a good man,
but I know I've been bad
464
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,095
# Took me to a place
465
00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:53,095
# Now I can't get back
466
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:58,615
# One shot of happy
467
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,135
# Two shots of sad
468
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:04,615
# Walk with me, baby
469
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:09,615
# Down a dead end street
470
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,135
# We were mixing the bitter
with the sweet
471
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,015
# Don't know what you've
got till you can't get it back
472
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:17,135
# One shot of happy
473
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:18,615
# Two shots of sad #.
474
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:19,695
Wowza!
475
00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:20,695
APPLAUSE.
476
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:21,895
I'm so glad you did.
477
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,575
Well, listen, it's an extraordinary
story of not just a rock
478
00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,495
star, but a husband,
a father, a philanthropist.
479
00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:28,415
It's called Surrender,
and it's out on Tuesday.
480
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:29,415
Bono!
481
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,775
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
482
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,615
Now, Swifties everywhere rejoice -
Taylor's new album
483
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,575
Midnights is out now.
484
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:45,655
CHEERING.
485
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,775
Yes, it is!
I've got it here.
486
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:49,455
Now, there are different
ones, aren't there?
487
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:50,575
Different ones.
488
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,135
Yes.
489
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:53,295
Which one have I got?
490
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:54,695
You've got the main version.
491
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,095
Yeah, that's the standard
version of it.
492
00:20:57,120 --> 00:20:59,655
OK.
493
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,615
But there's a mahogany one?
494
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,655
So basically I wanted
to deal with...
495
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:06,495
It's all about sleepless nights
and what keeps you up at night
496
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,735
and the hour of midnight.
497
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,055
So if you'll see, the back cover
makes up one fourth of a clock.
498
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,455
If you get all four,
it makes the whole clock.
499
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,535
Oh!
500
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:18,695
That is a good way
to sell four albums.
501
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,695
That's clever.
502
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,095
She's all four Beatles, isn't she?
503
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:23,695
All in one.
504
00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:26,575
And before we talk about it,
let's just listen to a bit
505
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,695
of the first single Anti-Hero.
506
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,375
# I wake up screaming from dreaming
507
00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:33,295
# One clay I'll watch
as you're leaving
508
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,175
# Cos you got tired of my scheming
509
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,375
# For the last time
510
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,415
# It's me
511
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,415
#Hi
512
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,735
# I'm the problem, it's me
513
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,615
# At teatime
514
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,215
# Everybody agrees
515
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:53,135
# I'll stare directly at the sun
but never in the mirror
516
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:03,695
# It must be exhausting always
rooting for the anti-hero...#
517
00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:10,735
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
518
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,615
All right, so you mentioned the
midnights, these sleepless nights,
519
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:22,655
13 sleepless nights.
520
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,055
And what sort of time span
are the sleepless nights
521
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:26,215
taken from in your life?
522
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,135
Throughout my life, I think probably
after I was a teenager, just...
523
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,935
I think that there's such intensity
when you're up late at night.
524
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:33,055
It's a concept album,
525
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,695
and the main question is,
what keeps you up at night?
526
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,815
So it's, you know, you could be up
at night because you're reeling
527
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,215
from just having met someone
and you're falling for them,
528
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,215
or you could be plotting revenge...
529
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:46,735
Garlic bread.
530
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:48,855
Yeah, you could be thinking about
the time that
531
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:52,295
they painted your teeth brown.
532
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,775
You could be thinking
about what could have been.
533
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,775
You know, there's just so many
possibilities if you give that,
534
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,655
like if you think of that
as like a creative writing prompt,
535
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,295
which is what I did,
that's where the album came from.
536
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:06,895
And this album, I mean,
amazing reviews,
537
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:08,775
you broke streaming records,
538
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:11,335
and a lot of the rave reviews
have asked the question,
539
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:12,615
and it is a question,
540
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,495
that the great songwriting on this
album, is part of it due
541
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,375
to the fact that you've been doing
this sort of strange work
542
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:19,535
of re-recording your back catalogue,
543
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,695
so it was like you were doing
homework on songwriting?
544
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:29,815
I think so.
545
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,295
I really do.
546
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,215
So I've been rerecording
my first six albums,
547
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,775
because there was a thing that
happened where I had wanted
548
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,935
to own my work, of my first six
albums,
549
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:41,135
when I changed record labels.
550
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,535
My first six albums
were actually sold away from me.
551
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:45,895
And so I decided,
if I if I made them
552
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:48,735
the first time, I can
make them again.
553
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,215
I love it.
554
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:52,335
I love it!
555
00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,815
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
556
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,295
Amazing moment.
557
00:23:58,320 --> 00:24:02,855
But is it working?
558
00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,775
Like, are radio stations
playing the Taylor version?
559
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:09,815
Yes, they've actually...
560
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,655
That's actually one of the things
I was most thankful for was
561
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:17,815
there's a company of many stations
in America called iHeart,
562
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:22,295
and they have sworn to only
play my new versions,
563
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,175
and they've said that they'll switch
it out for the old versions
564
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,815
every time I put out
a new version of a song,
565
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:29,495
which is just, like,
it's so heart-warming
566
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,935
to me, because this
is something that I care about,
567
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,295
but I don't expect other
people to care about it.
568
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:35,975
It's something that's
very personal to me,
569
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,135
and it's a lot of work,
but it's like...
570
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:39,855
It's really fun
and rewarding for me,
571
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:42,175
and I can't believe people
have actually gotten behind it
572
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,375
the way they have.
573
00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,015
And doing this, going back
over your old work, has led
574
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,895
to this wonderful thing
where All Too Well...
575
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:51,855
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
576
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:52,975
I know.
577
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:54,095
It's now a short film.
578
00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:55,215
Yes.
579
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:56,695
So it was a short song,
580
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,495
then it was a longer song,
and now it's a short film.
581
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,935
OK.
How do I shorten this?
582
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,655
So basically, All Too Well
was a song that came out
583
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,255
originally on an album
called Red, which came out in 2012.
584
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:07,495
I always loved this song.
585
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:12,495
It was never a single,
but the fans really loved this song,
586
00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,695
and I had made the mistake of saying
in an interview the truth,
587
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:18,335
which is that it had started out
as a ten-minute song
588
00:25:18,360 --> 00:25:22,215
with, like, six or
seven extra verses,
589
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,095
and we had had to cut
it down to the sort of
590
00:25:25,120 --> 00:25:28,015
four and a half, five minute
length that it ended up.
591
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:30,855
My fans would not let it go.
592
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,495
They were like, I'd be doing
an interview for something else
593
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,935
albums later, and they'd be like,
"Where's the ten-minute version?
594
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:37,575
"Where is it?"
595
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,615
So basically for the record,
I was like,
596
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,335
"I am going to put out
the ten-minute version.
597
00:25:44,360 --> 00:25:46,495
"I'm just going to show
them what it was."
598
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:47,535
And you know what?
599
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,895
I really want to make...
600
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,775
I want to tell a story that goes
along with it visually
601
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:56,255
that's more than a music video.
602
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,175
I'd been directing my music videos
for a while at this point,
603
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,895
and writing and directing them
was really fun for me.
604
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:08,695
I just love it.
605
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:13,655
It's a very natural extension
of my storytelling.
606
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:16,055
So I thought, "I want
to make a short film
607
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,935
and really do this song justice
and also create a short film
608
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,935
that stands on its own,"
609
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,575
so I was very lucky to be able
to cast Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien
610
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,975
to be these two young lovers.
611
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,895
Ancl I'm really, really,
really proud of it.
612
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:32,815
I just feel very happy.
613
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:33,815
You should be.
614
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:35,255
Obviously it contains
the whole song,
615
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,975
but also dramatic
scenes like this one.
616
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:43,135
You didn't even look at me once!
617
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,015
What are you talking about?
618
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:50,455
I'm catching up with my friends!
619
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,135
Trust me, they were
enthralled by you.
620
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,135
Of course, of course.
621
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:54,855
You're making the entire
night about you!
622
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,895
Look at me.
623
00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:56,935
Holy shit.
Holy shit.
624
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:57,975
I can't, I can't.
625
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:59,015
It's so...
626
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,055
It's fucking selfish.
627
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:01,095
It's crazy.
628
00:27:01,120 --> 00:27:02,295
Oh, so I'm selfish now?
629
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:03,495
Yes, you're acting
selfish, absolutely.
630
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:04,935
Right now that's exactly
what's happening.
631
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:06,615
Don't fucking look at me like that.
632
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,135
That's so fucked up.
633
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,855
Ooh!
634
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:13,895
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
635
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:15,335
Yeah, they're unreal.
636
00:27:15,360 --> 00:27:17,255
Did you let the actors improvise
those scenes
637
00:27:17,280 --> 00:27:19,855
or were you writing that dialogue?
638
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:25,415
So that was scripted out,
639
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:30,215
"OK, let's do it
like it's scripted."
640
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,455
But then like, let's do,
like, a freedom take
641
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,095
where you get to do whatever,
however you would interpret this
642
00:27:36,120 --> 00:27:38,215
and what you would add to it.
That was...
643
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:40,135
I can't take full credit
for that writing.
644
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:41,375
And you clearly love this.
645
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,975
Is this going to be
a new string to your bow?
646
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,415
That would be such an hon our.
647
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,335
I would do anything to get to keep
learning and keep growing
648
00:27:48,360 --> 00:27:52,695
in that world.
649
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:55,335
She takes up singing,
she's going to take over the world.
650
00:27:55,360 --> 00:27:56,375
So that is like...
651
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:58,775
What you just said there
is basically an actor's dream,
652
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:00,695
which is you've delivered
a scene as scripted,
653
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:03,055
and then when the director
has faith in you enough
654
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,175
to go now one for, like,
go play with it.
655
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,495
It's kind of, it's the dream
way of being directed.
656
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:09,575
So...
657
00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:10,615
Wow.
658
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,095
...please cast me.
659
00:28:12,120 --> 00:28:15,295
Well, listen, you can watch Taylor's
short film All Too Well on YouTube.
660
00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:16,935
And once again, the
new album, Midnights,
661
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,215
that is out now.
662
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:25,175
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
663
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,335
More good news, ladies and gentlemen
- Eddie Redmayne is in a film!
664
00:28:32,360 --> 00:28:33,375
Yes!
665
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:38,175
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
666
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,055
The Good Nurse is out
now on Netflix,
667
00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:42,215
where it's currently number one
in over 60 countries.
668
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:43,255
There you go.
669
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,495
So people are liking it.
670
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,855
Nice!
671
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,215
This is you and our good friend,
Jessica Chastain.
672
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:54,335
And this is a true story.
673
00:28:54,400 --> 00:29:00,815
It's a true story about a man called
Charlie Cullen, who may be the most
674
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:03,855
prolific serial killer
in American history.
675
00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,295
But more importantly,
it's about the extraordinary woman,
676
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,215
woman called Amy Loughran,
played by Jessica Chastain,
677
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:14,735
who was an amazing nurse, a lovely,
gentle woman who was incredibly...
678
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,695
Sort of adored this man,
and then realised
679
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:18,695
that he was doing horrific things.
680
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:21,335
And it was through her brilliance
and sort of empathy, really,
681
00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:27,415
that she was able to stop him.
682
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,095
But it's also the story,
though, of how he got away
683
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,255
with it for so long.
684
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:35,295
Yeah.
685
00:29:35,320 --> 00:29:36,815
Which is...
686
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,255
This guy was at nine different
hospitals, over ten years,
687
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,655
killing people and was moved
on from hospital to hospital,
688
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,495
even though they may have gleaned
that he was doing it, principally
689
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,215
because no one wanted
to accept responsibility.
690
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,815
So they were protecting
their bottom line.
691
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,295
So in some ways it's sort
of an amazing advertisement
692
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:56,215
for the NHS, because this
is an America, by the way.
693
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,255
And I'll tell you what,
before we talk about it some more,
694
00:29:59,280 --> 00:30:00,295
let's watch a clip.
695
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:01,495
This is you as Charlie.
696
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:04,135
Jessica Chastain is hoping to get
a confession out of you.
697
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:06,295
You know, I don't want
to talk about Park field.
698
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,095
It's...
699
00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:13,655
Why not?
700
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,295
Is it because...
701
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:25,975
...what they're saying is true?
702
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:31,375
You know, I wouldn't care
if you did those things.
703
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:32,575
I mean, I could understand.
704
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,135
You could explain.
705
00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:46,575
BANG
706
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,175
LAUGHTER
707
00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,655
Very good.
708
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:00,815
All right.
709
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:01,935
All right.
710
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:03,015
No-one spilled a drink.
711
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:06,535
We're all good..
712
00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:09,615
That's a bit of a jump scare.
713
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,255
No, I knew it was coming,
and even I was, like..
714
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,495
Is it true that Jessica
Chastain did turn out
715
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:21,295
to be the good nurse in that
you had to learn skills?
716
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:22,415
Oh, yeah.
717
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,375
Yeah.
718
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,095
So we were sent to nurse school.
719
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:26,135
Oh, wow.
720
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:27,615
Taylor loves a school!
721
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:28,735
It's so hard.
722
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:30,135
They have such a hard job.
723
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:31,575
No, it's so amazing.
724
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,495
It's like a massive thing.
725
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,095
I mean, obviously, I had
huge respect for nurses,
726
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:39,215
but like to be a nurse,
you have to be great at science,
727
00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,615
great at maths, you have
to physically be incredibly strong,
728
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,415
like moving bodies.
729
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:50,895
And then you also have to be this
emotional conduit between, you know,
730
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:53,975
doctors and families
at the most vulnerable.
731
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,175
Anyway, I'm a useless nurse.
732
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:58,775
I went to nurse school,
totally failed, managed
733
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,735
to like, on the...
734
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:05,135
You know, we had a nurse
watching every take.
735
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,335
And after each take you'd kind of go
to slightly bypass the director
736
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,175
to go to the nurse to check
you did it all right.
737
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:14,055
But in the first take,
I was trying to sort of put
738
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,095
a needle into something.
739
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:18,215
And literally the first take of
the entire film, I managed to sort
740
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:19,935
of pin it straight through my thumb.
741
00:32:19,960 --> 00:32:21,815
Useless nurse, never
call me in a crisis.
742
00:32:21,840 --> 00:32:22,815
But very good actor.
743
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,895
A very good actor.
744
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,735
And I don't want to I don't
want to trigger Bono here.
745
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:29,055
But you have won an Oscar.
746
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:32,215
I don't want to upset Bono in any
way, but you have won
747
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,375
an Oscar.
748
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:36,455
So you win an Oscar.
749
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,375
So you must be top of the world.
750
00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,495
You get a phone call
the very next day?
751
00:32:40,520 --> 00:32:42,455
Yes.
752
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,735
So, basically, just before
the Oscars, I was getting married
753
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:47,495
and I wasn't working.
754
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,975
Sol did a:...
755
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:53,375
Which makes like makes it sound
like I'm excusing myself.
756
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,255
I basically got cast in Thomas
the Tank Engine, straight to DVD,
757
00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:57,695
one-off film playing
Ryan the Engine.
758
00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:58,735
Oh, Ryan.
759
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:03,615
You know, famous Ryan.
760
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:04,815
He's the voice of that.
761
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,335
The voice of that guy.
762
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:09,015
And anyway, it was wonderful
and it was great.
763
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:11,695
And then the day after
the Oscars, I got a call
764
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:13,335
from my agent saying
they're releasing Thomas
765
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:17,535
the Tank Engine today.
766
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:20,615
And they wondered if they could put
a sticker on, saying, you know,
767
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:21,775
starring Academy
Award Winner Eddie
768
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,095
Redmayne.
769
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,495
And I remember The Sun writing
a particularly unkind article
770
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,575
about how I was following
up my Oscar winning.
771
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,215
Unfair!
772
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,615
A reminder, Eddie's
new film, The Good Nurse,
773
00:33:35,640 --> 00:33:38,975
is streaming now on Netflix.
774
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:45,495
And so much to talk about tonight.
775
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,535
Bcause Alex Scott has
written her autobiography,
776
00:33:49,560 --> 00:33:51,655
I've got it here, How
(Not) to Be Strong.
777
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,215
And that is out now.
778
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:58,375
And Alex, you've talked,
in the book you reference
779
00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,535
it, that you've been
asked to write your story
780
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:04,135
before and you said no?
781
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,295
Why no, why yes now,
are you glad you waited?
782
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:08,695
I'm so glad I waited.
783
00:34:08,720 --> 00:34:12,455
I think I've had so many
new chapters, exciting chapters
784
00:34:12,480 --> 00:34:15,295
in my life, and I've been
on a personal journey of growth
785
00:34:15,320 --> 00:34:17,975
that has allowed me to actually
detail with raw honesty everything
786
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,735
that I've been through in my life.
787
00:34:21,760 --> 00:34:23,975
Ancl I suppose listening
to you guys as well,
788
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,095
the story of your music,
I suppose for me that was my way
789
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:33,575
of telling my story in my own
way through that book.
790
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:39,415
Ancl I don't know, I think looking
back, that kid who started
791
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:42,615
in the football cage, there's no way
that I would have ever thought
792
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:45,215
that I'd be able to sit
and write my own book.
793
00:34:45,240 --> 00:34:46,935
One, Being dyslexic,
I struggled at school
794
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:48,135
anyway, so to actually sit
795
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:50,775
there and have that there
is, for me, one of my
796
00:34:50,800 --> 00:34:51,815
proudest achievements.
797
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:56,455
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
798
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,455
You also talk about,
I mean, a bit like,
799
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:01,655
I was saying to Bono,
you know, sharing memories.
800
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,535
You know, it's your story,
but you're telling bits of your life
801
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,215
and not all of it is great.
802
00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:09,055
And your mum, your mum must be
thrilled that you have told
803
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:12,095
that you have told her story?
804
00:35:12,120 --> 00:35:15,695
Yeah, for me, I think a big thing
was I wanted to write the book
805
00:35:15,720 --> 00:35:18,775
to finally set my mum free
and for her to start living.
806
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,095
Ancl I think it was hard
for her actually reading
807
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,015
it because a lot of everything that
I've gone through was trying
808
00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:26,895
to protect her and not tell her
everything if I was struggling.
809
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,535
So for her to read some
of the stories was eye
810
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,535
opening for her.
811
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,455
But I feel it's so magical that
we're finally in the space
812
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:36,575
now that we can continue this
next chapter together.
813
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,575
Yeah.
814
00:35:37,600 --> 00:35:38,855
I mean, I can imagine
815
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,215
she must be so proud
of you and so thrilled.
816
00:35:41,240 --> 00:35:42,615
Yeah.
817
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,015
I straightaway get emotional
when I think about my mum
818
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,415
because all I ever want
for her is to be happy and be free.
819
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,415
So that's why I've clone it.
820
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:51,895
Yeah.
821
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,015
CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
822
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,095
We must mention the end of the book.
823
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:00,975
The end of the book.
824
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:03,655
It ends with the triumph
of the Lionesses at the Euros.
825
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:04,655
Oh, yeah.
826
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:06,135
And, you know, there you are...
827
00:36:06,160 --> 00:36:10,175
APPLAUSE.
828
00:36:10,520 --> 00:36:13,215
You know, like,
you must be thrilled,
829
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:18,735
but a little bit of jealousy.
830
00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,095
And how has that changed
the game entirely now?
831
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:23,255
Huge.
832
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,375
It was like the 99ers in America
when they won the World Cup
833
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:27,415
at the Rose Bowl.
834
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,575
That changed absolutely everything
for them and the momentum
835
00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:31,495
we have seen off the back of that.
836
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:32,495
You say jealousy.
837
00:36:32,520 --> 00:36:34,695
Actually, I felt like
I was that big sister.
838
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:36,135
I was crying like a baby.
839
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:38,535
I remember Gabby Logan trying
to ask me a question.
840
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,215
I was like, "I can't speak,
Gabby," I was so emotional
841
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:45,575
in that moment, but I had a final
chapter and it was a letter
842
00:36:45,600 --> 00:36:47,975
to my mum was the final chapter
in the book.
843
00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,095
Ancl as soon as that happened,
I was like,
844
00:36:50,120 --> 00:36:52,375
"Sorry, Mum, there's
another chapter now!"
845
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:53,775
And, Alex, football
fans, you know,
846
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,015
we know they are passionate.
847
00:36:55,040 --> 00:36:57,535
They are.
848
00:36:57,560 --> 00:37:01,215
But sometimes don't
have the best reputation.
849
00:37:01,240 --> 00:37:03,455
Are fans of women's football,
are they better behaved?
850
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:04,455
I would say so.
851
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,335
I feel blessed in that sense.
852
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,055
I think for me, they've followed my
journey from that ten-year-old
853
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:10,975
with the frizzy fringe, afro fringe,
going on,
854
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,615
to that football
career and into broadcast then.
855
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:15,535
So I feel they've followed my
whole story
856
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,575
and actually
been on that journey with me.
857
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:19,455
So when they stopped
me in the street,
858
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,055
I feel their passion,
859
00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:23,495
and I'm just so thankful that
they're still supporting me,
860
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,535
really.
861
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,015
Yeah.
862
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:34,455
Taylor, we talked about the Swifties
and how much they love you,
863
00:37:34,480 --> 00:37:38,735
and fans sometimes
find unlikely things.
864
00:37:38,760 --> 00:37:42,575
I think in Canada by accident,
a track from 1989 was released,
865
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,335
but it wasn't a real track.
866
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:45,855
It was eight seconds of static.
867
00:37:45,880 --> 00:37:47,375
Yes.
868
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,335
This happened maybe seven
or eight years ago.
869
00:37:49,360 --> 00:37:50,975
Yeah.
870
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,855
And what happened to that track
that was eight seconds of static?
871
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:55,695
It went number one.
872
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,775
LAUGHTER.
873
00:37:57,800 --> 00:38:01,375
I don't know how, but maybe it's
some metaphor or some symbolism
874
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:06,455
about the sounds of silence,
and having having a moment of quiet.
875
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:09,175
I love someone trying to present
a chart show in Canada,
876
00:38:09,200 --> 00:38:10,775
and going, "And now,
at number one..."
877
00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:11,895
It was ridiculous.
878
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:13,535
I mean, I don't even...
879
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,175
I don't know how, I don't know why,
I'm just lucky
880
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:19,655
and have them doing
stuff like that for me.
881
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,455
But now, Eddie, now, your fans
have a special name, don't they?
882
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,735
Errn, they...
883
00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:29,935
Some people call
themselves Redmayniacs.
884
00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:30,935
Redheads.
885
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:31,975
Yes.
886
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:32,975
Yeah.
887
00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,775
I have lovely fans,
888
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,415
but there was a thing recently
at a Fantastic Beasts premiere,
889
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:41,015
and I was walking to the premiere,
890
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,775
and this this lady came up to me
and she said, "Draw on my arm."
891
00:38:44,800 --> 00:38:47,855
And I said, "OK.
Where...?"
892
00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:49,775
And she shoved a pen in my hand.
893
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:52,215
She was like, "Draw
a fantastic beast on my arm."
894
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,095
You know where this is going.
895
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,615
There's a character
of fantastic beasts
896
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,215
called Pickett, who's
a little stick insect.
897
00:38:58,240 --> 00:39:01,975
And so I did what was basically a,
you know, a stick man whilst whilst
898
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,455
moving and then
thought nothing of it.
899
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,895
And then the next day it went online
that she had had that tattooed
900
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,255
onto her arm, which, had I known,
I would have stopped for a minute
901
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,375
to make sure my little
twig man was slightly
902
00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:17,615
better than a stick man.
903
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:22,535
That was a low point.
904
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:25,575
And talking of fans
in the in the book, Bono, one
905
00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:27,495
of the people you meet is the Pope.
906
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:31,095
The Pope was jealous of you, Bono?
907
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:35,255
I wouldn't have put it like that.
908
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:36,975
If you mean he coveted
my sunglasses,
909
00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,055
is that what you're saying?
910
00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:41,015
Well, no, because he
was checking you out.
911
00:39:41,040 --> 00:39:43,375
Well, not in that way.
912
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:47,615
We were there.
913
00:39:47,640 --> 00:39:51,015
According to the World Bank,
an extra 54 million kids went
914
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,135
to school in the poorest countries
in the world because of the Drop
915
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:57,255
the Debt campaign.
916
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,655
A lot of it led from these
United Kingdom here,
917
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:01,615
but around the world.
918
00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:05,655
Ancl that's what we were there
with me, Bob Geldof, Quincy Jones,
919
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:09,335
Jeffrey Sachs, a bunch of us
and this very frail man.
920
00:40:09,360 --> 00:40:11,975
Ancl I notice him looking at me
and I thought, like,
921
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,855
we're all narcissists,
you know, navel gazers.
922
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:17,175
Ancl I moved and his eyes
kept going with me.
923
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:18,695
I said, that's a bit mad.
924
00:40:18,720 --> 00:40:21,615
Maybe it's the glasses.
925
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,695
So I took them off because I had
these kind of blue shades.
926
00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,535
Ancl then he started looking
at them in my hand.
927
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:31,375
So when I went to His Holiness
John Paul, I said, do
928
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:32,895
you want my glasses?
929
00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:35,295
Ancl when I went up
to meet him he said,
930
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,415
yes, and he put them on.
931
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:41,615
And he put them on.
932
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:42,895
I'm like, this is unbelievable.
933
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,335
Swapped them for some rosary beads.
934
00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:47,495
Put them on.
935
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:52,735
Ancl I'm thinking this is Drop
the Debt, the jubilee 2000 campaign
936
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,175
on every newspaper, we've made it.
937
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,815
You know, this is just one of those
photographs, and hear
938
00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,055
a voice in the background.
939
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:00,695
Ancl it goes, you will never see
that photograph - ever!
940
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:01,735
But guess what?
941
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:02,775
The photograph...
942
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,775
Oh, wow.
943
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:07,655
It exists.
944
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:11,255
So this is the picture of the Pope
wearing Bono's sunglasses.
945
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:18,415
I love it.
946
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,495
Yeah, he's loving it.
947
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:22,015
He's loving it.
948
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:24,215
Alex, the next big tournament,
World Cup in Qatar.
949
00:41:24,240 --> 00:41:25,855
You are part of the commentary team?
950
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,575
Yes.
951
00:41:27,600 --> 00:41:31,175
I fly out in a couple of weeks,
so I'm going to be over there
952
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:32,215
for a month.
953
00:41:32,240 --> 00:41:33,255
It's super exciting.
954
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:34,455
Ancl what's the vibe like?
955
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,095
I mean, are you worried
about it or do you think
956
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:40,455
it's going to change
that country for good?
957
00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:42,935
What's your take on it?
958
00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,255
To be honest, I still don't know
at the moment my kind of take
959
00:41:46,280 --> 00:41:47,975
on it, because obviously
that's where things
960
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,015
are bigger than football.
961
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,575
Ancl it's how can I use my platform
in that moment to spread a message,
962
00:41:52,600 --> 00:41:55,495
make people aware and not just sit
there and think everything's alright
963
00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:56,575
when it isn't.
964
00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:58,975
Ancl I know my role and
the importance of that.
965
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,335
Yeah, it's going to be
a tricky one to do.
966
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,655
Yeah.
967
00:42:04,680 --> 00:42:06,975
And very quickly, we must mention
you are doing Children
968
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,095
in Need again
969
00:42:08,120 --> 00:42:09,095
next month?
970
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:10,135
Yes, next month.
971
00:42:10,160 --> 00:42:14,095
You're not doing it.
972
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:15,895
I remember last year,
doing it with you.
973
00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:16,935
I know.
974
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,615
I can't be there this year,
but good luck with that.
975
00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:20,655
Thank you.
976
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:22,815
Like, "You're on your
own, you go do it!"
977
00:42:22,840 --> 00:42:25,415
I'll think of a reason soon.
978
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,895
Good luck with that.
979
00:42:27,920 --> 00:42:32,015
And Alex's book, How (Not)
To Be Strong is available now.
980
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,495
So it is time for music.
981
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:40,895
This critically acclaimed singer
is taking the world by storm
982
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,775
with a debut album,
Black Acid Soul Here,
983
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:44,495
performing her latest
single, Feel It Comin'.
984
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:49,415
It is Lady Blackbird!
985
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:03,335
# Like in every great fable
986
00:43:03,360 --> 00:43:07,375
# There's a moment when we all
must learn to crawl
987
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:12,295
# And when life has turned the table
988
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:15,855
# Before we rise we know
we all must take the fall
989
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,655
# And this moment
ain't no different
990
00:43:19,720 --> 00:43:25,815
# Times are changing
like the clock upon the wall
991
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,655
# Your wealth can come from
992
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:28,935
#just a dime
993
00:43:28,960 --> 00:43:29,975
# We ain't broke
994
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,335
# I feel it comin', don't we all
995
00:43:32,360 --> 00:43:34,335
# I feel it comin'
996
00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:40,615
# Like the dawning of the day
997
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:41,935
# Straight through to midnight
998
00:43:41,960 --> 00:43:44,815
# While we dance the night away
999
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:47,695
# A great big expression,
happy on my face
1000
00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:50,455
# I feel it comin'
like the dawning of the
1001
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:55,095
# Mama told me 'bout a baby
1002
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:58,255
# Baby grew up in
another kind of world
1003
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:05,095
# Always felt like such a lady
1004
00:44:05,160 --> 00:44:08,975
# Mama said son you ain't
born to be a girl
1005
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,655
# And this moment
ain't no different
1006
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,375
# Times are changing
like the clock upon the wall
1007
00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,615
# The world is changin'
all the time
1008
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:20,655
# It ain't broke
1009
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,375
# I feel it comin'
1010
00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:24,975
# Don't we all
1011
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,215
# I feel it comin'
1012
00:44:26,240 --> 00:44:31,095
# Like the dawning of the day

# The beat goes all night long
1023
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:10,615
# Remember the rain
1024
00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:11,655
# Remember the sun
1025
00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:15,055
# Remember the seasons
winters almost done
1026
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,295
# I feel it comin'

Lady Blackbird, everybody!
1043
00:46:22,360 --> 00:46:29,215
Brilliant job.
1044
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:30,215
Come on over.
1045
00:46:30,240 --> 00:46:36,775
They love you.
1046
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:40,535
How great was that?
1047
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,175
Come meet the rest of the group.
1048
00:46:42,200 --> 00:46:47,455
Taylor, Bono, Eddie
1049
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:50,535
Wow.
1050
00:46:50,560 --> 00:46:51,575
So good.
1051
00:46:51,600 --> 00:46:52,615
Incredible.
1052
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:54,735
Alex, I would urge you to
fight the temptation
1053
00:46:54,760 --> 00:46:56,935
to put one in the back of the net.
1054
00:46:56,960 --> 00:46:58,015
Top corner!
1055
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,935
That was so gorgeous.
1056
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,495
Thank you.
1057
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:05,535
The voice.
1058
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:08,375
The voice, voice.
1059
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,255
And that single is from the deluxe
album of Black Acid Soul.
1060
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,655
The Deluxe came out today.
1061
00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,375
Is that right?
1062
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,415
That's right.
1063
00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:16,455
Today.
1064
00:47:16,480 --> 00:47:18,295
Today!
1065
00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,455
Ancl you guys are all incredible,
I'm so happy right now.
1066
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:24,735
I can't even believe it.
1067
00:47:24,760 --> 00:47:26,895
I'm trying to be so cool,
and I'm failing.
1068
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:31,495
I'm failing so bad.
1069
00:47:31,560 --> 00:47:33,655
The fan club over here.
1070
00:47:33,680 --> 00:47:38,375
You're amazing.
1071
00:47:39,720 --> 00:47:41,415
I know that people
watching that performance
1072
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,095
will want to go and see you.
1073
00:47:44,120 --> 00:47:45,295
And you are touring here?
1074
00:47:45,320 --> 00:47:49,615
We start the tour Saturday.
1075
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:51,695
We're in the Netherlands,
and we hit the Netherlands.
1076
00:47:51,720 --> 00:47:54,855
We hit Spain, we hit Rome, Germany,
Paris, and then we end up...
1077
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:55,935
No Ireland?
1078
00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,415
I know!
1079
00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:01,295
In fairness, Bono, we haven't
heard about the UK yet.
1080
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,175
If Bono wants Ireland,
we're going to Ireland.
1081
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:08,375
If Bono wants Mars,
we're going to Mars.
1082
00:48:08,440 --> 00:48:13,575
We end here, we end here.
1083
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:16,175
Ancl we play Manchester,
we play the Barbican, Barking
1084
00:48:16,200 --> 00:48:18,575
and we end on Jo Whitey Radio.
1085
00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:19,615
Yeah, Google Lady Blackbird.
1086
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:20,655
You'll find it.
1087
00:48:20,680 --> 00:48:21,695
Oh, I'm so nervous.
1088
00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:23,175
Don't trust me on the dates.
1089
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,015
No, no.
1090
00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,655
But people would be delighted
to know you're performing new music
1091
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:31,535
and you're out there in the world.
1092
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,735
I have to ask you,
Taylor Swift, when can
1093
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,375
we expect to see you on a...
1094

CH EERING AND APPLAUSE.
1095
00:48:43,400 --> 00:48:46,535
I'm going to say that first you
should purchase tickets to go see
1096
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:47,575
Lady Blackbird.
1097
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:48,615
But soon.
1098
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:49,615
This year?
1099
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:50,975
No, next year.
1100
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:52,295
I mean, it's soon-ish.
1101
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:53,575
|t's going to happen.
1102
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:54,615
We'll do it.
1103
00:48:54,640 --> 00:48:59,135
It's going to be great.
1104
00:48:59,800 --> 00:49:01,095
Whatever.
1105
00:49:01,120 --> 00:49:02,175
But Bono, U2,
1106
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:09,895
You're doing new music, aren't you?
1107
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,535
Yeah, we have a sort of...
1108
00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,895
We have an album nearly finished
called Songs Of Ascent.
1109
00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:17,615
It's beautiful, but
it's just not right
1110
00:49:17,640 --> 00:49:18,775
for the moment we're in.
1111
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,975
We want to make a really
unreasonable guitar record.
1112
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:23,095
A real, proper rock and roll,
you know, proper...

1114

So we're starting again.
1115
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,255
All right.
1116
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:27,895
Well, listen, we look
forward to that.
1117
00:49:27,920 --> 00:49:30,335
Lady Blackbird, thank you so much
for that beautiful performance.
1118
00:49:30,360 --> 00:49:32,015
Congratulations on the
album Black Acid Soul.

Red Chairs tonight,
1123
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:44,055
so it just remains for me to say
a huge thank you
1124
