Interesting couple of e-mails here you are right by the way I'm looking at the monitor and it wasn't. Jones is on it it's connected to a different cheater. Always tries to muscle in on so it's technology for tech correspondent can he can even make these things happen to him in the lift did yeah and he said what you're viewing us all in. Great and it don't you have got an email here from remeasuring in 10000 well him like number one comedian guy.

Just a quick note to say that the Roland Emmerich riff that ended in this last week ended in Mark saying Mr bombastic but he's not fantastic really made me laugh you made remeasured laugh. They were mean and that's and that's difficult making comedians love is not easy it would have been unjust to allow that thing of beauty to go on acknowledged much love Keep up the fantastic work and the ramp followed by . Another email from a mesh Ranganathan Further to my previous that base joke at the end of the show last week and would like to withdraw my earlier compliment owes the bases joke. Again bassist makes it sound a whole lot worse than a guess what was it her saying go to lunch come back terrible noise from the orchestra pit they from the double bass is beating up the triangle player dragging off say what you doing he says well re at lunch he put up one of my strings ouch in the States no reason to him up he says you want to mooch one criticism and that's funny because because all by strings on the same in all bassist saw the basis and drummers are the bottom of all musicians jokes that they're not really musicians they're just people I think in the strings the viola plan is performs a similar role yet so it's you know it's just the butt of the joke although as a as a bassist I do find that just funny because it is true that somebody could put one of my strings up gentlemen I wouldn't know which one you're slapping your double bass yet really matter which no you just get. Yeah your face did a really funny shape when you did it all Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle face thank you yeah no it's just I had that in my repertoire but you just unspecified walking sound with a general basis down the bottom of his top 10 on the way immediate Clark the other side of the 330 needs talking about last Christmas do you want to start with the issue of the operation well I'll get to it in just a minute because. Yes because it's not in the chart Ok so this is the point is that yes for very various complicated reasons to do with Netflix they don't disclose that box of his figs and I was just reading this from the day in in the in the Telegraph he said. Missing in action in the u.k. Box office is the argument distributor Netflix does not opt to do does not just opt not to disclose viewer numbers on its own string platform it also prevents cinemas from reporting box office on it startles to the official data cover which is why I believe the situation room which means we have no idea how it how well it did and it really apparently in the cinemas in which it's playing there was an audience but but we don't know because they don't disclose those figures which seems in them and I certainly knew that that was the way as far as television is concerned but they actually for bid cinema change from announcing how many tickets they've sold yet to see foreigners reading from The Telegraph So this is where it also prevents animals from reporting box office on its titles the official day together in the reason reading of The Telegraph is because I believe that to be the case but I also believe that Elvis wasn't dead for many years that I just do I look it up to get a valid you know validated source. Obviously people have been to see it and an email from Agent cultural voice I don't know if he's any relation of Frank's But you know. Whether he is or whether he isn't he's welcome to the show Aiden says yes I believe this to be Scorsese's most humane work to date for me the kernel of the film is the scene that takes place at Sharon's testimonial dinner in this see we watch as an entire world falls apart inside a room as informants the Fireman's Ball The epic and the claustrophobic are mystically intertwined that scene alone I believe is sufficient for this film to be called a masterpiece Well well I would say that even if Aiden isn't related to Frank he could well be because that sound right might say enough actually but I want as you go exactly that's what I would think because that was very good I was very good and very That sounds like somebody who has a writer's sensibility but if this is this is a very uncomfortable future because it is quite good to know what how well something is doing well no man may I play devil's advocate for a 2nd meaning say something I don't necessarily believe in but it just occurred to me I know what devil's advocate means no I'm saying it to myself Ok sort of to you know I'm talking to the listener Ok fine. There is an argument that knowing about box office figures does nobody any good whatsoever and certainly I have been guilty of saying you know the world has changed since we can all go on the Internet and know that something opened on Friday and by Saturday have underperformed Now I'm not saying that that's an argument for saying is the argument about knowing about box office figures is not necessarily a scenario as it seems a dart yet but I've been thinking quite a lot recently about the greatest showman Yeah reasons that we can come to later on well I guess you know exactly and that and thinking Ok so you go and see it and you thinking I formed an opinion and then you look and then you start placing how much money it took me thinking Ok Well clearly I'm wrong though that is absolutely right and I'm also very aware having gone back to see the great show my sort in press screening in which I thought it was really bad and I went to see it at a screening at the plaza in Truro which was a full screening with a largely young team. Young adult audience all of whom knew or all of it off by heart and it demonstrated absolutely point blank that my claim that it did not have a memorable chain in it was factually absolutely and totally wrong so we'll be revisiting opinions like that a little bit later exactly in the program so folks I was top 10. And we got lucky correspondents as well and I just wanted to mention this from Colin Tonkin Ok says Is it wrong that whenever I hear lobby correspondent I have fines in my head saying take your money lobby boy in my head. Which I hadn't really thought of. But I shall now here again yes I have no idea who can take your definitely not be boy. Ok well that was the lobby correspondents will be will be out in coming any weight at box office top 10 at 17 Lou Sutter was terrific Not least because I think it's got a great score by just Baron been so brave but it's really intriguing psychological thriller which wrong for the audience at every possible turn and I've read some of slightly sniffy reviews which I was surprised about because I found it very interesting very intriguing and I had no idea it was going it is based on a stage play there are moments of it a quite stately but I think the score does an awful lot into a sort of fully cinematic experience and I really liked it and we have a lovely correspondent on Lucy we go and it was interesting on the themes of race and I like the fact that it's the main rival Harry is really anyone's they seem to share commonality of experience. We Need To Talk About Kevin was very strong and I liked how it was from the perspective of parents and you were always away from the only information that the kids were holding Solomon and on that lobby correspondents that recording from the Rio cinema with no playing in the back row yet little bit long I'd say but maybe you know there's 2 of them and it still. Yeah but 2 of them and a piano playing in the back read a little bit too long I think look at Scorsese they're little bit really big and just pull it back. So therefore next week we won't be telling people how many people listen to that. Number 10 is abominable which is or 9 is Sean the sheep farm again now a couple of things on that yeah as you say those 2 movies next door to each other in the chart one of the other one I love love love love love Mike in the Forest of Dean can mark explain why on Shawn the sheep farmer Gaden certificate it says contains mild bad language I can't off the top of my head but I will if you carry on I will look it up they must be it must be that it will either be something will either be written somewhere or the farmer will say sorry and in an innuendo or something when we look it up I mean I confess that I didn't know that but I will look it up going while your trying it out an email from carried to Linnaeus did Buster and Charlie I recently moved and I do believe carry has email before because I remember. Kerry sending in phonetic punctuation right before so Kerry thank you very much for making it easier I've got it there is the very mean very mild use of bad language damn apparently the word damn appears although this is there is technically no real language it must be very very you know yeah you know I think you're probably Ok Mike in the middle it also says slightly consider is rude human when an alien lets out a loud burp Ok fine so I think it's really his life you carry to Linnaeus says I recently moved back to my native country of Iceland with my wife who's Finnish and our 2 children child one who is 4 has had frustrations with reaching the same fluency with spoken Icelandic as he has in Finnish jokes and will Wordplay which delight him in Finnish land slowly fame in Icelandic though he is improving at a fast rate Icelandic notoriously difficult to learn I'd been thinking it was time to introduce him to the delights of going to the cinema but was worried that a dialogue heavy film would be frustrating for him it's no fun after all being the only person not laughing in a theatre So Shaun the Sheep Farmageddon was a godsend good physical comedy transcends language and goes straight for the emotions it does jokes in Farmageddon absolutely landed for both him and me and the story of a young child in a Strange Land tugged at both sets of heartstrings when I asked him at the end of the film what he liked best he referenced the emotional bit at the end of that spoiler free there when his mother asked him the same question when we got home he said it was when quotes they went really fast which I hope is a ball of return and then a mind said scene at length with sound effects it's I'm glad that the legacy of silent comedy still being honored by brilliant studios like adman and that I could introduce my son to the joys of film going with such a wonderful picture there's a fantastic he can take it presumably in Iceland you can take your large Finnish educated child and enjoy a film made by a woman and that's what the southwest of that is what I mean about you know silence animal be. You know having the universal language of film because with the exception of which it's occurred to me that when the word may appear on maybe a newspaper or something but basically you know film is a universal language I would hate this I've said it many times before Mike Figgis once said that he was most impressed by the fact that when immigrants used to arrive in America they arrived at Ellis Island where they were shown a silent film which would describe for them life in the country to which they were arriving and would be understandable by audiences of all races and cultures regardless of language that is the universal language of cinema and of slapstick comedy is a real one and a treasure and incidentally if you really enjoyed that you know go back and look at some of the early chap and I'm sure you have done that show your kids the early Chaplin's you know the Tetons or something because they will love them as well Shaun the Sheep farm again is that 9 duck to sleep is that 8 much better than we had any right to expect much more Stephen King than Stanley Kubrick although there are obviously many many references to the corporate movie which it does mix those into the general but I liked it very much and and I had been very trepidations about it beforehand but I thought it was actually a pretty solid pretty pretty solid thriller in Robinson on an e-mail which side of the debate not leaver remain rather a coup break Ok I have to admit to not being Mr King's biggest fan and always love Kubrick's The Shining But along came dot dot dot dot Dr Sleep Dan you came out a man and glorious to fan any fans hoping for a tense return to the madness of the Overlook Hotel maybe somewhat disappointed my advice expect a story that is a little more concerned with character and one which rather cleverly manages to harness Kubrick's dark heart as well as the ghosts of Danny Torrance has passed the splendidly named Lloyd manif and in Exeter regarding the equally splendidly named Tom Chris to deliver email last week about his friend Lloyd's experience watching the shining and being perturbed. The moment Jack Torrance looks directly down the camera to say Hi Lloyd. As a Lloyd myself says Lloyd management I can confirm the terror that this scene did inflict upon Lloyd's on my 1st viewing of the shining after this scene I slowly turned to my brother obviously not Lloyd and tentatively asked what name did he say to you just check the film wasn't cast I've always felt this direct address has heightened my connection with the shining and wondered if any of the church members had similar experiences with their own names in film Ok if so b.b.c. Took the u.k. Military very quickly a short creepy story how short is your show and keep it 30 seconds because I think e.v.p. Electronic voice phenomenon which is listening to recorded tapes to see if you can hear the voices of the dead Ok And it's to do with the bison is new is a fun I think it's a do with your mind imposing sound anyway blah blah blah many years ago I was sitting with Bill Blatty listening to some tapes that he had made around the time of making the Exorcist and there were these fragments of sound that he had identified as being identifiable speech and he said and there's one thing here I've never been able to understand what it is and he played it to me and I was sitting in his front room we both of these headphones on and I heard clear as a bell a voice a marker mode now I know that's not what it said but it sounded and once you know what once I'd heard it saying that nearly jumped out of my skin I viewed heard it you would have heard it saying on my own it's just you know it's a it's an audio hallucination thing but I nearly jumped out of my skin s. Really creepy is. Ok Where were you distracted terminated on face 7 I wish I liked it more we've had many very spirited defenses of it and and I am glad that people are getting more out of it than I did Midway is a new entry in the same. Midway as midway in the top 10 it is a film which includes the line men like Dick best of the reason we're going to win this war and that's one of the more understated mates it's a film which left me longing for the careful character. Development of Michael Bay's Pearl Harbor j. Perry writing from pilots pulpit in our South Sea Parish very good to Melissa sent and 1000000 less and so when is it Ok to leave a cinema for films rubbish Roland Emmerich answer the question for us midway. Very good Simon Eagleton if you think you're watching Midway don't spend your time and money elsewhere including but not limited to anywhere else dialogue and acting would be laughably bad if you just paid to see it is crying and screaming Yes Well you know who I think is actually a really good actor and I like him very much he's atrocious and his. New York accent beyond rubbish Oh yes you know he's fold the dialogue is terrible I'm simply amazed he was given a lead role in such a large 100 plus 1000000 I don't know I think he's actually a very good screen presence I mean he's much more and we you know he can do America just that that character is he's an American pilot and he's choose gum the movie has no physicality to it as it is 85 percent cd generated and of course every fader on the mixing desk is set to 11 during the airborne and dive bombing sequences to try and compensate Gerry Ryan a long term intimate listener 1st time email I went to Midway last Wednesday with my wife here in Dallas and in northeast China and in a wonderfully code compliant cinema we watched a total lemon of a movie that's a phrase that's not used in I know a lemon I'm sure my dad used to say you know even my gran used to say I feel a complete lemon all this car is a lemon as Mark described it's awful cliched in every aspect woeful script caricature is rather the characters intrusive 1950 s. Use of score far from show didn't tell for the 2nd half of the movie I played the game of mentally deleting any unnecessary lines of dialogue there is always about 50 percent. Keep up the good work anyway that's enough of that as a good life. 5 Well you like it more than loitering I mean it's it's love it's hostage for a start and I think it's it's got you know at the very beginning there is a although this is going to turn up later on in the show the very beginning there is a plot twist you know yeah yeah no that coming and then the other one you don't know because it's from another movie it's it is very silly really silly in Manchester I was surprised as well as disappointed by Mark's dismissive take on the Goliath story I'd seen the film before I'd had the programme and 2 of Mark's criticisms struck me as misplaced Ok 1st it's true that the plot is rather twisty Mark objected that one of the film's big twists was predictable but then went on to say just to school fully The elated twist came out of nowhere and couldn't have been anticipated predictable is bad unpredicted No hang on that's not what I said see the poor screenwriter that's not what I Secondly Mark commented rather slightingly I felt coming into you by Radio 4 on Helen Mirren and in McKellen in the lead suggesting that the game smooth routinely accomplished performances and that they were probably rather pleased with themselves in the end of a take more this overlooks is that both actors were playing a character playing a part it was the character not the actor who was rolling out a flawless performance of a role Moreover Mark went on to complain about the swearing in stabbing bits of McKellen's portrayal saying they seem to have come from a different film again Mark seems to be criticising the film for being predictable and for being unpredictable in any case that to me was just another side the more genuine side of the character McKellen was portraying I've read the book the film is based on but I don't think this gave me a bias in favor of the film I just it's just it's not a perfect adaptation the time structure of the book is much more complex and we learn a lot more about both main characters take the film for what it is and you've got 2 great actors McKellen in particular at the very top of his game and a nasty twisty story which turns out to be a lot nastier and twist year than it 1st appeared Ok well I take all of the on board that's very well argued and you have you make many good points the one thing I would like to say is that I didn't say. The 1st twist you can see coming therefore that's bad because use it and then the 2nd with what I said was the 1st which you can see coming because it's so obvious the 2nd which you won't see coming because it's so stupid. So that is good 5 Addams Family of 4. When you consider you're never going to see it you're probably of it Maleficent mistress of evil is 3 well it's done better than I predicted. I mean I I found it very very corporate and bolted together and I thought it completely lacked. Any sense of magic we have had of that we've had people writing in saying that they did find it magical and particularly we've heard mothers and daughters writing to say they found it empowering which is great I didn't see that and number 2 it's the aeronauts we've got a nother lobby correspondent lobby bar a another lobby correspondent but this time it's Kelly Walters in Bristol what seemed at the beginning like it could be a bit of a frivolous film turned out to be exciting charming and very very tense if you're scared of heights you will notice it 10 seconds boom if you see a movie you'd like to be a lovely correspondent you step out of the film you go to the lobby you get your phone out because it's been switched off for the producer you get you find out you turn your phone on and then you record your thoughts and then you email it to mail b.b.c. Dog and there's a pianist and that's cool should point out and I enjoyed the aeronauts very much we should point out that aeronauts is not number one despite the fact they're open on a Monday so we just had a very very long run to get to number 2 which means that the number one sport is all the more remarkable Ok so we get to that in a moment Bryan says the aeronauts all steampunk gravity This is exactly and incidentally the score was done by Steve Ross who did the school for gravity this upbeat in a Pixar sense film was the breath of fresh air and scientific optimism I needed after catching up on more bleak latest releases are for after a long health related cinema hiatus Felicity Jones gave the film such a lift we may forgive her Vera a composite a cousin of Basil Exposition character here and the opposite and the plots amalgam of incidents across the history of ballooning Redmayne manages to elevate his put upon Boffin above the they laughed when I said meteorology was a thing into which the role could have easily fall and Jeff in Manchester stepping out of my local world of sin he felt like stepping on a rope stepping off a roller coaster the aeronauts take you through a well crafted and immersive story featuring dizzying death defying unrealistic heights and stunts there would seem to. Dangerous even had the pulling been anchored to the ground although the period detail seemed a bit sanitized the whole spectacle was a thrilling Joy I half expected Emily Blunt to sail past the balloon holding an umbrella hat and gloves off and the Redmayne doing his command school boy and the exemplary Felicity Jones. And Lucy. Please can you add a weather warning to your views in future Yes Last night I made the mistake of going to see the aeronauts with a lot of mascara on and left a little streak here than I would have liked That's very good I suggest a range that begins with light showers for features that prompt a single tear through to Terentia will damn pole for anything that might and used an older bull sob this might at least help me avoid looking like a Victorian chimney sweep after a trip to the movies the film was fantastic and resonated with me and my technical minded boyfriend as Amelia says of James during the film it was nice to see I'm entertained by something that doesn't involve numbers so much in that email really is a limit on the incident you're the subject of the weather report things that does remind me of the brilliant Tom White's emotional weather report from Donna which concludes with the phrase precipitation is expected another fabulous impression Cassy in Belfast my grandfather invented the cold air balloon never really got off the ground. As the number one movie the 1st time in a decade a movie has held the number one spot for 6 weeks is joke and is doing astonishingly well I mean I think it's now actually going over that tipping point which is that it's the movie you have to see and it's it's really remarkable because when it came out you know and I'll broadly speaking liked it but I thought it was going to prove too divisive to you know to get this kind of it has become an absolute runaway hit and it's the movie that everyone has to go and see because to have not seen it almost feels culturally bereft you haven't gotten a you haven't got an opinion joke or I have a good time with you. Anyway I think that tolerance and love Mark. Where they were there in eighty's buying records except everybody for what they are the most support human cry on their international tools Yes I think that my brother be on brother be on but you don't think it was 5 weren't very good what are you going to do in the next half hour when I'm going to be listening to you talking to a 1000000 Yeah that's what's coming up next in the show Ok some last Christmas on the way now it's $331.00 on digital b.b.c.

Suspicious gated add ons so what I think so we're going to tell me very shrinking this is 2nd. This is this is a. I did my. Very. Some. I think I think you're having is that you were fast asleep during that news but no I listened and then you cut off the back of Miss is no I think you would just return the only person who I've interviewed who actually was asleep during the interview where you fall asleep once but we were doing a show and I was not it on briefly but that's not doesn't make you not the focus of the question answer the question to ask yes I asked you a question what's the answer. Just somebody who fell asleep while you were interviewing them yes. It was a pop star no it was a film person it was Christopher Hitchens So you go I gave enough to your alliance questioning every go I think it had a lunch basically and it was a fantastic interview on 5 live in that great time he genuinely fell asleep fell asleep was asleep beforehand so I was sitting in a desk like this and he's got his he put his head down and he thought it was the thought I don't need to be to wait for this interview was it life yeah he put his head on his head down onto the desk and he fell asleep and we started the interview and then when the travel was on he did that again. Got to take it you know take a rest when you can travel news on Fridays can go on for a bit quite rightly obviously no criticism intended but Chris which is you know Rick Wakeman used to have a curry on stage when he did that once yes he ordered to carry because this was the soloist was a very long section and he needed a bit of a. Clock is on the way. In media in Glasgow but not a 1000000 on I was listening to last week's show in the conversation about people taking photos during the certificate screen came out yes to your question is definitely not Birmingham only phenomenon I've seen in Glasgow a few times and the audience being super annoying I'm also surprised that cinema staff don't appear to be bothered about it especially witnessed someone taking video of the credits of a music movie as it was starting I would think that would be copied Surely that's the only sees it you're not allowed to do that when no one came around to check the situation I always thought that there infrared cameras in big cinemas and you get stuff appearing when people take the. Finds out however during a recent incident in our local We discovered that not all screens actually have c.c.t.v. At all this potentially explains the lack of us is doing something about people taking their phones out to take photos anyway in conclusion I mean that regular Instagram user and I don't get it so please stop doing it and Mark dress down Fridays do exist in the world of office workers and they're going to thank you and chip in but even if even if I was there I wouldn't rest them for Friday from one emir to another let's talk about last Christmas seamlessly Don thank you very much he was stars Emilia Clarke and you'll hear from her after this clip.

Just locked in a cupboard by so tired of stone to handle that we should try a 2nd flying death. Makes me really want to hold it on a someone rings and get a chance to do. All of your stresses were just melt away all the chips store like scrap wood you get in on Yap and that's a clip from last Christmas I'm delighted to say Amelia Clark is with us hello Emily our youth Hello I'm good thank you very I was your birthday it was wonderful it was very good upon it continuing tomorrow when I have a day off like you kind of week long celebrations really do you posted some very nice dancing pictures Oh yes yes Graeme Yes you have a good time yes I did buy it time yeah and then the world's No I love yeah and you have many many millions of followers on Instagram then I looked at your Twitter account which you posted to tweets and you got what you still got 1200000 followers after I know there's a 1000000 people waiting for you to say some something anything so now you understand why I haven't said anything really that's absolutely fine so to tell us about last Christmas tell it tell us how you I'm involved with this and well I my agent told me that Emma Thompson had written a script and I immediately jumped at the chance to read it so I've read that you said that but yeah genuinely what happened that you heard Emma Thompson had written the script and did you want to be involved you just said we didn't look at the script No I did what didn't I think people stopped the soundbite before I continued on the conversation which because it was also more a kind of you know I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it I'm pretty sure you know she could write nothing that I would not. Jump the chance to be involved in cause she's amazing she's an Oscar winning of course legend she and great she kept mother Emma Thompson and Greg Weiss wrote this film I'd like to get out of yet no I don't go alone my head saying I can use I can't say. Greg wrote this fabulous script and so my agents told me that they had seen that there was a part a part for a go go of my age so I was very very excited to read that script which I did do and then obviously I had to you know ask p.c.p. Is going to be in this movie and then many discussions were hard and I met Paul Feig he was the director of a wonderful movie and then you know and then it and then it was these kind of characters in the ice but it was really just a couple years ago he's quite a quite a forceful chap to be around very progressive guy indeed He's pretty he's pretty marvelous and and he always looks deputy which is excellent He absolutely does Ok So given that there was a part for a quote girl of your age. So this girl is Kate tell us about tell us about her Yes So Kate for me is the ultimate anti heroine she is a young go in her twenty's and living in London and in that delightful time in your life when you have no idea what you doing in your early twenty's you just left school university and the rest of your life ahead and look at glittering knows what that is going to feel like and be like and she has no idea so when you meet her she really is a little bit chaotic and a little bit unsure and little bit kind of messy around the edges she's also unapologetically snarky and she's in a bad mood she'll be in a bad mood she's a young girl who isn't forced to smile and be a good girl all the time which I really loved I loved the fact that there was a fully formed multidimensional young lady who wasn't just kind of sitting in the corner looking pretty and where she comes from is is very relevant to the story Yes Ok comes from Catarina comes from former Yugoslavia where and her parents fled there to come to London to escape the war and she is the. Daughter of immigrant parents living in England at the time when Breck's it has begun so that is a huge crop point within our story and getting to kind of play a character where your heritage and your history is in a completely alien space to her because she left when she's so young there's not a lot that she remembers but my goodness do you have parents and you know you always have fights with your parents and her parents especially have spent their life trying to give their both their daughters every opportunity that life has to offer in a safe environment to let them saw and so it was kind of interesting researching what that would have felt like for Katrina to kind of try in the accents to she wasn't picked on at school and you know feel as normal as she could in this new environment where she was not fully accepted in the beginning so you've got that huge change between them is playing my mum and my dad and they are largely speaking pretty miserable to pretty scared and confused and alone and the girls are kind of running havoc around London just trying to figure out who they are sort of ignoring that history up into a certain point but throughout the movie we get to see her come to terms with what her what her heritage actually is and what it means to her and what it means to her family and what it means now today in London with the fact of exit so it's on the one hand the movie is London I guess Covent Garden and fairy lights Christmas and tinsel and songs and singing everything glistens and on the other hand like you just it's it's bricks it's immigration there's social commentary the scene on on the bus when some characters are told to go back to where they belong it's a it's an unusual to have I know yes it is about what attracted you to do it yeah I did deeply it's I mean emigrate couldn't write anything that wasn't in some way in line. Their political beliefs because they're you know they're outspoken about it and it felt honest and it felt truthful and it also felt like a joyful uplifting hopeful story that was centered around Christmas at Christmas time and what it means to be a human being in a world that can sometimes feel very scary and very alienating so it was great to have those that dichotomy to Kuwait to have the 2 things hunt in hand because often you know we watch one comes and we watch comedies we watch Christmas movies to feel good and to feel you know better and sick I didn't take a break and have a smile and have a hopeful thought but I loved that this was a slightly more truthful version of that story which hopefully then you know the messages within the story is kind of that we have the ability to feel better but it's not the story of someone who goes to worldwide fame and gets loads of money or has all these kind of. Enormous things happen to her it's time to give the next one baby in the part. Troubled she has trouble to present and we discover what is causing the trouble yes as the film progress is so I'm going to let you explain as much as you feel as though you can I know it's difficult I mean from a lot of the interviews I've been doing we are talking about the fact that Kate has suffered from this that has been debilitating for her early adult life so to be a young person and to have something traumatically wrong with you where you are faced with your own mortality at a young age it's a bit of a. Head. Up or Exactly. Do you control and I'm not something I could relate to nothing and I could understand and I think that I was able to bring a certain amount of truth to that and it definitely is a character spoke to me for a number of different reasons not only this but this was an added reason very long fascinating article recently yes it was in the New York yeah in New York that's right yeah. About what it was like to brain aneurysm yes yes yes and. You know so that's public knowledge so it's very interesting to way that would have influenced the way you played Kate because when something like that happened as it did to Kate and to you it must change your outlook on life and people yes it does and it doesn't it's a really strange thing and I think this is also because of when it happened in my life because you know you often hear about you know near fatal health scares happening later on in life and you are a certain you are aware of yourself you have a greater sense of self later on in life need to younger and there's so much change at the you're still going through so for me having something happen then it wasn't an immediate cop a d.m. And we were lucky to be alive to go and do everything you've ever wanted to do the life that you Michael is I was we were alive it wasn't it was like What. I don't I didn't even realize what that the relevance of reports of how unique and special life is let alone having this and so there seemed in my younger years to be things that still were bigger than that because I was young and I didn't know you because I hadn't lived enough life at that point so Kate has a similar thing and it just kind of freezes you it stunts you it within your growth and makes you kind of just uncertain and unsettled and scared most of the time you were just scared and trying very hard to put a brave face on it as opposed to thinking What an what a near miss how lucky am I so it's only been over the years that kind of seeing you know the small things is not so important that's happens later on but it was actually losing my dad that really made me consider my own mortality because that that was something that was that I could see and understand it was far away from me but having my actual brain haemorrhage is has been it wasn't an immediate. Let's go and jump out of a plane coming off the back of the most successful television program of all time. That one Yeah but. Did you think I'm going to have to choose my next job very carefully because it feels as though you think I'm just going to go for something that gives me a blast I just want to go for something that isn't going to take many many That's And then I can live locally I didn't you could have chosen so many different scripts Yeah why yes this is what I keep trying to say to people is that Game of Thrones I am I am so different to the mother dragons the depth of that this seeming wrong. Was just appealing to me as an actor what I was going to do next never really played a very big part it was more that I was just wanting to do something different and the result was freeing the show as an actor when you have already in your past been in the scene with 500 extras goodness knows how many camera 150 crew year dragons flames that must rub off on you some was an act you thinking I can do pretty much anything when it's been your own your biggest experience it doesn't feel like that because I haven't tried the other stuff to know that old doing this then means that I have a kind of certain amount of confidence going into any kind of a set but it was more that with this with a smaller project with a project where I got to not have posture and I got to smile and I got to improvise and I got to muck around and they were like yeah do that again do you whatever you do not really just just bring that into the scene seeing yet seeing the goodness sake that just felt fun but yeah the experience of Game of Thrones is what it is but I but my choices that I make outside of chemistry and yet you know going to see me get on another dragon and so much I can say for sure and I'll probably take a minute before I do a television show that is that. Much of a commitment simply because I like having a bit of time to really decide when you speak to actors who've played Dr Who for example you over the years and when you speak to the Harry Potter cast Yeah they all talk about when that when when they stop doing that yeah 1st of all sadness because it's been such an important part of their lives and wonderful sense of relief yeah kind of the same it well yes but also a kind of numbing effect of What do you want to do you know like that you've known what you've what you're going to do for the last genuinely for the last 10 years how long it was door to door and and so then when you have many many many options it kind of makes you go I need to take some time to consider really consider what it is that I want to do next maybe have the Christmas Number One day we go down to be great you enjoy you so he said to me yes I do I love singing that was a lovely cherry on top of a very full cake What are we going to see you in after this after this well after last Christmas for the last couple of years I've been working on my production company so I've got 5 or 6 things that I'm producing and writing and acting and that is what I very much wanted to go into and I'm an avid reader so hopefully the next thing that you'll see me and it's something that I have created and chosen venturis and indeed Yeah I mean a clock thank you very much thank you really can't wear my voice was a whole lot worse than it is at the moment. Because she compensated for your more more more than compensated I mean it's like talking about last Christmas which you'll have heard a lot about you'll have seen advertised and this is what Mark think so it's interesting listening to that review I mean she says she actually she can sing I mean it's a very good selection and it has been terrific interview great ambassador for the film I mean talk brilliant film and that's great she said in it you know the script came in Emma Thompson's written and I knew that Emma Thompson couldn't write something that I wouldn't love which is absolute music to my ears because as you know. World beating Emma Thompson found think she walks on water think she's just brilliant I think is a. Brilliant writer brilliant actor brilliant person all round directed by Paul Feig love bridesmaids love spy actually you know had good things to say about Ghostbusters in the middle of all that nonsense that was going around about it it's a Christmas movie I'm a fan of Christmas movies it's a wrong comb that owes a certain debt to the sort of tone of Love Actually you know and I love around common I love love actually. And it also addresses issues that concern you know that I think concern me so you know it talks about loneliness and it talks about homelessness and you know the subplot which many quotes and that is very important she said it's because the people who wrote this movie care about those things and there's no way that they could write that without those things being front and center you left it the other phrase she's honest joyous truthful uplifting you know which is the sort of the way he wants to be and songs of George Michael I'm not the world's biggest George Michael fan but I do like a George Michael song. And I think the thing is this I think its heart is in the right place and it breaks my heart to say that almost everything else isn't. I really wanted to like last Christmas and I had I knew that the reviews were not great and I said what I think when you saw it the reviews hadn't broke and there than been no reviews No And I you know I thought that you know people were being so unnecessarily sniffy but I really found it a crushing disappointment and believe me I take no pleasure in saying that at all because I so wanted it to work I so wanted to enjoy it I so wanted to find myself you know wrapped in all that positivity that in a media clock into you and I think there are a number of problems I got to be honest I think one of them is the writing I don't think it's well written I think it is actually creakily placid and it has an issue with the way in which the way in which it never really understands the George Michael songs I mean it's a that the whole premise of it is essentially taken from a single line of a George Michael song taken out of context Incidentally if you've seen the trailer the trailer is pretty much already spoilt again again how many times again this comes Asians although that said I think the film itself you know plays very much on the front foot as far as that reveal is concerned. Character works in a Covent Garden Christmas story that I never for one minute believe it was anything other than the completely artificial part of us and whereas you know I've seen magical all you know unreal versions of locations in Richard Curtis movies here it just felt like Ok I don't believe in any of this drug don't believe in the character of your boss I don't believe in the strange guy that coming into the store and I specifically don't believe in the relationship that is meant to be unfolding with this man who turns up and then disappears and then turns up and then disappears and sort of delivers these gnomic one liners with a kind of knowing smirk because it just felt to me that everything about the film was desperately trying to charm me and desperately trying to make me laugh and all it was doing was make you think this is the. It's like a plot it's like wading through a snow drift and the more it tried to be charming the less and less It managed to do it the jokes fall flat the romance never gels the the plot is Couldn't contrived to a point of utter ridicule and the you know we've seen you know Sunshine on Leith and Mama Mirren films that use pop songs as the and at no point does it ever get to grips with any of that and I there was a moment in it that I almost started to cry because because there was nothing in it that was making me want to cry now I should crying through disappointment I was and I'm I can't tell you how much it disappoints me to say that Incidentally I should quote this there's a rolling stone review that was a terrible review that said that headlined there were a god awful holiday movies and then there's last Christmas and I know about this review because it was retreated by the director Paul Feig who wrote As a lifelong Rolling Stone reader I sincerely thank you for your opinion we can't win everybody over but we will continue to try I swear all our hearts were in the right place can our one star at least be a really really big star and that actually made me start to melt classy Firstly that is super classy Secondly it is a kind of a I mean to have the generosity of spirit to be able to do that but thirdly because the fact is that for me now there's a part of me that thinks Ok I've completely misjudged the greatest showman was at this time last year or 2 years how many years I was and I got it completely wrong. I there is a part of me that understands that maybe maybe that will be repeated with last Christmas but honestly I don't think so I think it's. Bad. Bad not good. Or bad I just said it's like walking through a slow drip stop reading me really bad. You know I'm good now you're Ok I would give it. A last Christmas what else are we going to do by the way we're going to gather ourselves up we're going to things like marriage story and lots of love and among 66 on the way Ok all coming up your text plays a 505.

That peerages were offered to Bret's it Party candidates if they stood aside a former us Ambassador to Ukraine as being giving evidence of the Trump impeachment hearing Marie Yavanna vich says she was recalled from her post after a concerted effort against her led by the president perhaps it was not surprising that when our anti-corruption efforts got in the way of a desire for profit or power Ukrainians are preferred to play by the old corrupt rules sought to remove what continues to amaze me is that they found Americans willing to partner with them and working together they apparently succeeded in orchestrating the removal of a us Ambassador William Carr is looking at whether Mr Trump abused his position for his own political ends the White House says the president will travel to the u.k.
