00:00Olivia Colman has gone one further ladies and gentlemen because in her new show
00:05She had her daughter in her in the things like Russian dolls
00:13Plays a role in this is the night manager the new series that you go in her
00:30But they they they wrote the bump in yeah when I first went to meet the director and I just found out I was pregnant
00:36And I thought I can't lie. It's gonna become obvious and so I said I was pregnant and
00:42Susanna went oh
00:43Okay, so she said I must talk to talk to the producers and and so this is my impressionist
00:53Lucky she's not here because then I can tell you it's really good
00:56And
00:58Then and I was going and if you remember Fargo Francis McDormand was pregnant it really added to it
01:03I think it would help sort of fingers crossed and they went away and came back and said yeah, okay, we can do pregnant. Yeah
01:09Yeah, we're riding in so I don't carry a bag in front of yourself or
01:15So big there was there'd have been no hiding it
01:18And also I was waddling quite a lot and Susanna and once said could you could you walk less pregnant?
01:26So
01:30This is the night manager coming out in BBC one next month see that I look like someone like it
01:37I've snuck into the back of shot
01:42It's like a model shoot
01:46It's like it's like when they left the paper cups on the mantelpiece in Downton
01:55Wardrobe person
02:05Daisy you get to use your lovely English voice. Okay throughout. Okay, John not so much. No
02:12Have an American accent in it do it. He's so good. No, it's incredible. Your accent is so amazing
02:17Oh, thank you. I mean I tried it in the British, but it didn't work out. I'm a stormtrooper. I'm gonna ever say yeah
02:26Did you do it on stage
02:28Yes, yes, I'm JJ. We're just like John. I don't think it's right. It's not let's go with American
02:35But what if you hadn't been able to do American then I would have been pissed
02:42This is based on your life, I mean this is things yeah
02:46I
02:49Sleep right over things like isn't the washing machine that happened to you what the washing?
02:56You were very hungover. Oh
02:59Yeah
03:02Tell Jodie Foster that story
03:05All their stories are really cool. Oh great
03:08when I was teaching
03:10This show is based on I
03:12Went home one weekend and I was in my 30s. I was probably 33 years of age. I went home to see my
03:19Mother and then I went back and while I was at home, my mother did my washing for me because I was only 33
03:28On the Sunday night I got really drunk and then I went for a curry and then the next day I went to school
03:37I
03:39'm gonna I went into school and it was a school in Slough and it was a quite a rough school
03:44But they had a really brilliant hearing impaired department. So they were hearing impaired kids who?
03:49You know struggled they were they were really looked after in school
03:52Anyway, I was really hungover. I went there and about break time. I felt really uncomfortable. I thought something's not right, you know
04:00so I went to the toilet and I pulled my trousers down and
04:04Some of my mother's knickers have got
04:08I've got mixed up in the washing and I was wearing my mother's
04:15God no, I remember going. Are you loser? This is such a low point you fucking loser
04:25And then the curry and the booze the curry and the booze kicked in from the night before
04:31So I I did like a fecal Jackson Pollock
04:39And I'm sorry, I
04:42Started going. Oh god, not this
04:45Oh
04:46Jesus so I cleaned myself up and I pulled my mother's pants back
04:52Into the
04:54Classroom and I saw one of the hearing impaired kids looking at me like this
04:58And that's when I remembered that my I had a microphone directly
05:16So maybe man down isn't that far-fetched
05:20On is what's happened to facts that facts aren't what they once were. Yeah facts
05:27I thought you're talking about the defunct way of sending messages
05:32Well, tell you what's happened to that the Internet it's the least of its victims
05:38Well, that's the thing the Internet has happened to both forms of fact both faxes and facts
05:44Seen to yeah, because now essentially you can't tell truth from from lies. They both look perfectly nicely typeset
05:51They're both on websites you people loads of people
05:54Endlessly saying how mainstream media is all lies. It's not all lies. Is it?
05:59I mean in fact
06:00There's a lot more recourse if there is a specific lie in
06:03Mainstream media than there is on a random website that someone's just put up there
06:07but people are going around saying no mainstream media is all lies and that is
06:12bullshit and the fact that people think that is extremely worrying but it's one of the
06:16Other terrible effects of the Internet that we the truth, you know, it is out there, but it may never again be discerned
06:24But also we do seem to be going backwards
06:26Are you talking the book about how we now have to listen to people saying the earth is flat? Yeah
06:33Yes, that's that's one of the pieces in there is about the the new the new
06:38Flat Earth International Conference. It isn't a conference from the 14th century. This is a conference that started I think in
06:452017 and it is a growing thing and that's because people are so
06:51Contrarian people are so willing to believe unsubstantiated things that have websites that they are now going back on the conclusion
06:58We have all rightly drawn about the shape of the planet
07:03People are sort of going and by people I mean idiots
07:07I'm a questioning person. So why am I gonna go along with this idea that the world is round?
07:12Well, I'll tell you why because people went up in a rocket
07:16Out of the window and took a bloody photo
07:31He said balls, yeah
07:33No, can you seriously not understand? Not very much. I was gonna kind of question him as he was going along but
07:39I
07:41Actually tried the show and America than one gig a
07:44Guy complimented me approached me after the set and he goes a man. Are you actually Scottish?
07:51And I said yes and he goes man your English is pretty good
08:00Do you follow the soccer that you with an outside chance do you really know no and I know you guys call it football
08:07Here we do. I know that much. Well, that's
08:13Do you know who David Beckham is yes because of his underwear ads, okay
08:20I think you found the level of our crowd
08:23I'm gonna move this out of shot because we can't really see you behind it. So I'll just put that down
08:28Put that down there safely
08:31No
08:33Off
08:35Sailing into protective
08:38For the uninitiated
08:40Hello
08:42What makes it such kind of special thing? Well, it's certainly for a generate my generation and perhaps a bit younger
08:49Nowadays, there's lots of you know football on TV. There's games all the time
08:54but when we grow up
08:56Yeah, when we grew up the only game you never really see was the FA Cup final in particular
09:01You get much of the day that's been going forever
09:03But you know the actual live games the FA Cup final you wake up Saturday morning Graham
09:08wouldn't you watch all the bells up and
09:13Every young lad that likes football and there are some there are some
09:19Sort of dreams about playing the FA Cup final being part of it and I think I think that's what it is
09:24It's a really traditional event that was known right throughout the world
09:27There are the you know, there are other circuses, but also it does this thing of the because of what it does is
09:32This is the only thing I do know about it is that it throws up these weird things
09:36Where tiny clubs will suddenly be with a major club, you know, sort of Dave and Goliath
09:41that's the wonderful thing about the competition is everyone can enter all the small teams and they
09:46Starts in something like August and then gradually they go through tiny clubs play and then you can meet a decent non-league side
09:53Then you can play against a professional club
09:55and if you get all the way through to the third round you could
09:58Conceivably draw one of the giant teams you sort of the United's the Liverpool's etc, etc
10:04And that match the day obviously it's going on right the way through now because it's got these FA Cup special
10:08I just have to explain
10:21Hotel and
10:22Somebody came out and said, oh do you need help with your bags? And I thought they were doing a bit
10:36Kept talking like that
10:38So I had to like slowly transition out of it
10:41I know that that sounds like an exaggeration of their voice
10:44But then I was back in the country several years later and they were on TV on
10:49Gogglebox because it was Stefan Dom from
10:54So they actually talk like that that is I never knew that that was a real hotel
10:59You stay there there. Yeah, and accidentally made fun of them to their face
11:05Pictures of you at football matches
11:08No
11:11No, no
11:14Yeah
11:16Explain to Americans that you can have an international match where England are playing in your Australia and it goes on for five days
11:24And after the end of the fifth day, it can still be a draw
11:30I know cricket is I know it's it's like relatively violent and
11:36There was this episode of friends where Ross is dating an English girl and
11:40She she her friends her mate this happened her mates get into a cricket match
11:45He tries to play and he just like breaks all the bones in his body. It's why I think
11:49rugby
11:51That was rugby
11:55You know what cricket is
11:57Cricket, it's like it's that's the one with the things on the floor and you put them with the balls. No, that's croquet
12:03You don't have an international croquet star, right?
12:08We could have
12:10No
12:12Crickets it's like it was in Jenny a block you were playing now. What's that? It's that
12:18Baseball football stick ball, which is that's a bit like cricket, isn't it?
12:25It's probably the closest sport in America is baseball but cricket last five days
12:30We break every now and then for food
12:33You spend a lot of time rubbing our balls on our trousers
12:40I
12:46Think just because there's a ball when you try and it's it I think
12:50You hit it with us and you run bases as well. You've run in between wickets
12:55on a pitch
13:00Yeah, like basketball
13:04Yeah, it's like a cross between the two
13:06When
13:08You go with all your jokes
13:09you hope that there's
13:11obviously there's different references that they won't get and some things are very British centric and I
13:15Didn't know that if they knew I have a joke about
13:19Well, it involves the words hanky-panky, what is it I can't do the whole joke why not because it's on my new TV show
13:28I'm doing one of our songs
13:31I like the fact that you checked with me whether hanky-panky was all right
13:37Yeah, you look to me said Hank it's cuz the word hanky-panky I might be
13:44Do you want me to do the joke it's just a silly
13:47It's a joke about words that come with another word so there's like chit chat or chat
13:53So what's the difference between chat and chit chat?
13:55Why these people say John have a chance or we just had a chance we had a bit of chit chat
13:59The difference of course is chit, but people never have a chit they never go
14:03Would you like a chit? No, I don't have time for a chat. Can we have a little chit?
14:09So I was gathered all these words up like
14:12Like willy-nilly nitty-gritty. You get to the nitty you do sometimes get to the gritty not the nitty hurly-burly
14:18dilly-dally wishy-washy
14:22And hodgepodge
14:25My favorite is hanky-panky because well everybody hopes I can only speak as a man
14:31But men tend to hope for hanky-panky on a daily basis, but often we must make do with hanky
14:47Sometimes we get to the end of the day and it looks like panky's on the cards
14:53Didn't think panky was what's happening today and we're like, I'm not sure I can do panky because I went hanky early door
15:02But if you can refrain from hanky there's a good chance of rampy-pumpy I
15:09Didn't know whether they had the phrase hanky-panky in Australia
15:13To a manager who is the sweetest?
15:16Smallest Maltese man. He's a tiny sweet Malteser Maltese
15:23With a bald head so that you've eaten the top off
15:28And I said
15:30He's a scratch. Yeah, I said grass
15:32Can you go and find out if they know the phrase hanky-panky because I don't do this joke and everyone just stares at me
15:36So he went over to the largest
15:39Australian
15:40Security man
15:44He just went excuse me, are you familiar with the phrase hanky-panky
15:48And he's just like you better get away from me
15:57Yeah, that's a great joke and what were they familiar with it? Yes, it went very well
16:03The fact okay, it's not it's not it's not funny
16:06But it's it I'm interested in what your opinion is because you can be underwhelmed you can be overwhelmed right, but you're never just
16:17This two days ago. Well, you're right like you can be disheveled
16:38Torrential will always go with the rain people dead not to sit. My favorite is a Kimball. You can only have legs
16:48Legs no, I think have you seen her dance
16:52You're right the world this is a good fool if I ever went solo that would be my name well, no legs Akima
17:04Please welcome well
17:06I
17:16Don't think I've taught her too much, but I remember sitting here on this couch a while ago with them
17:22I was about to say Dame Meryl Streep, but she's not a dame. No should be you're American
17:26Yeah American game called Meryl Streep and and I tried a Scottish phrase on her to see if she could understand what I was saying
17:32So I'll try it on you. Oh, yeah
17:34All right. This place is pure Ho Chi Minh ball bags
17:39This place is pure Ho Chi Minh ball bags this place is pure Ho Chi Minh ball banks. Yeah, but what does it mean?
17:48That this place is making your balls feel
17:56Protected kind of bank this place is full of Egypt's or idiots
18:04Very nice to say
18:06Tomorrow's free. Yeah
18:10Sir Jamie Cameron, can you can you understand all of this in terms of the East End vibe? He is fucked up
18:25It's like celebrity goggle balls
18:28Just watching he says a real panel
18:31But now we just thought if could our American stars, you know do a cocky accent, so these are
18:40Cockney expressions East End expressions, but written phonetically
18:44Okay, so you'll get it as we go along
18:46So Debbie if you want to read if you write the way on the screen
18:49All right. So if you read this phonetically it you should sound like a sender if you get them, they're good
18:55Okay, this is very good
18:57Try this one Jamie you've got there's any copies in the ass
19:04Yeah, yeah you could so but try to say that so I caught the panda

19:17Okay, the pen caught a panda caught a panda with
19:27Okay, here's this is another good. Oh, this is another good one. Try it. Try this one Cameron

19:46That's the same thing we say in Long Beach
19:50One last one for us sure. What have you got for us? You're a cock always so much. Oh this
19:57Is all over he's all over it good Jeremy
20:06Yeah, I mean
20:12Very at home an animal so in Scotland, do you own sheep? Yes, and you commune with the sheep
20:20Putting it to
20:22Strongly I walk through the sheep field you've walked amongst the shouting at them, but yeah, but isn't there a thing with a stream? Oh
20:34They usually is
20:38Okay, I've never told you this but no please sometime back so we have a bottom of the sheep field there's um
20:45There's a pond where I wash and there's a sauna wood-fired sauna
20:51So we go down there and get in the sauna
20:53but in the summer I
20:56Walk to and from with nothing on
20:59Much like the sheep. Yeah, they're appalled obviously just
21:05But one
21:07one night
21:09That top there was a hot summer
21:10There was a kind of real thundering on the door of our of our place and it's miles away from anywhere
21:17So I thought oh god
21:18Okay, the man in the mask has come to take the way and I was there on my own with my little daughter
21:22Who was little then in little 90 and we went downstairs and opened the doors a massive and very good-looking
21:29Policeman outside who said
21:32I'm so sorry to aim to interrupt your evening
21:36Mrs. Thompson, but Tim we've had reports of an intruder on your land
21:41And
21:43And and your field and I said really oh god when when when was it what was sometime this afternoon
21:51A woman was walking her dog and she saw a 52 year old man coming naked up through the sheep
22:00Which point at which point I thought okay
22:04It's
22:06Something has happened or my boobs have dropped so low that from a distance they read as testicle
22:17I nearly whipped up
22:19Honestly, it's not that bad
22:30Did you guys all chat backstage, of course, we did and now were you okay with Jodi's accent I
22:39Love the accent, but could you understand? Yeah, can you understand it? No, I didn't
22:44I understand one word that we said you laughed three times. Yeah, that's a sign of discomfort
22:55Jody's finger went to America and Jody was on the late show with Stephen Colbert
23:01Mm-hmm a lovely time chapped away Steven asked the question you answer them the person who does the subtitles
23:07I feel wasn't really following the show. This is what they wrote
23:12I
23:19Know there's no we're called who does feel it's a real place. Where are you from?
23:26What is field

23:51station
23:54Because I was I worked at a really good one in Yarmouth great Yarmouth got sacked
23:59She's another story and then was sacked and then and was sent to all move on to that in a minute
24:05You sent to this one sent to that one as a sort of punishment
24:08It was like you're going to Morecambe to do six months because you have just you've just done something which what had you done?
24:16Well something that was considered cheeky in the 70s, but now is illegal
24:26It was actually an incident where it was my first attempt at stand-up comedy and
24:30What happened was I I'd always wanted to do stand-up comedy. I didn't have the guts to do it
24:34I got very drunk. I had a go at doing it as a blue coat
24:37My mate said to me just copy all the other comedians at Pontins and steal their jokes and basically talk to the front row
24:44So you're supposed to say where you're from?
24:45They say Scotland you say who paid for your holiday where you're from Wales you make a noise like a sheep rubbish jokes
24:52But I said that's terrible. He said don't worry. You're just padding
24:55What you're doing is you're looking for comedy gold, which is where you're from
24:58They say Kent and you say, what did you call me? All right now at Pontins this used to take the roof off, right?
25:07So I tried it, but I was very drunk
25:12So I go on stage and I say where are you from?
25:17Spokes, there's Scotland. I can't remember the joke
25:21I say hello
25:25Were you from the guy says Wales I'd black out and I go hi
