do our best to to get him on the show you're nobs face be a republican. it's a little bit. just blended in a little. well there should be doing a lot of present trying to arrange and about how does it going down and if you adopt it i mean he changes every day comes up with something new i get that doing what you do when you're yelling to date on exactly i mean just before christmas you know there's no smoking gun i mean is that you know the seems to be even if you how many of these kind of mala propositions is he going to do before he becomes like ok we've done that or we have to do something else but the smoking gun made me laugh before chris you know you don't think donald trump people ask what does drives donald trump. part of the six or seven of course but. he's trying to provide material for for your career well who will be are related he is in a cloud that's not forget when his mom scottish in his home was made of a clothes substitute from ohio and from stornoway i think it will she got a better reception as an economic migrant into the united states of america could

make the twenty six than they seem to be getting number that's a pretty i've never been good at figures but you know i'll agree on that one there yes amazing that we go away we got this fantastic company called alex ross providers with us kind of amazing donald trump sort of you poor on and do the you know get the expressions and you know do the whole bronzed look and how you came you go things the stars look but we can see we're going to i thought i put them to alex but friends are going no no it's because you're related you don't get too much into capital you know the pushing buttons and i think it's particularly read once you know. when i started doing some i think us going to do a bit like alec baldwin in the movie playing got to go and ross you know that sort of may have attention had your attention for a moment because you're you know about what some shelley shot actually i figured well and when we really had to study his voice because he was running for president

we decided that or i'd come up with the idea well if he wins this he's not going to be talking to twenty thirty thousand people every day he's going to be you know as the barbara walters what made you do it donald. i realized i was young the guy for the job and it was a more intimate trump and then there's the inauguration trump with the words drag. and i don't know i just i think the more you do that like any voice i listen to and presentations impressions i did years ago listen to them no you know i think what she's saying is not only good but what do you do before top so many people and i know i do talk not many know but i feel i must. think that i was the thing about barack obama was it was how do you make this really cool guy funny and two friends of mine two brilliant writers julian dutton and duncan was b. came up with this speech and watched them form it will sort of became this it was we're fighting the flames of despair with the cooling waters of hope and courage. of the winds of truth and i've used that which gives you stand up but does he talk

about it back for more or for the golden flicks of charge we have a guard our south i guess the old patterns of hunger but when trump came along the gifts of comedy were already there. and it was it was easier to write for him because he writes for himself and solace to tell the truth in the twenty sixteen presidential election did you find yourself a told conflicted no no one hundred for the security of the planet it was probably a good idea if hillary clinton won a no hand for the security if you had could he donald trump was a godsend but a lot of people asked me that you must be the only person that's happy if he gets reelected but i remember the evening he was he won and i was with john ravens and there was a very dire misfit in dover and i remember going home and i reflected that he does hillary clinton that's right yes best hillary clinton and the best he's a may as a really extraordinary when she does you know it's an easy you may have you know

slowly. in the voice but and she looked like hillary again the makeup was phenomenal to the voice was stunning and yet there was i remember that the good. he's bought a good dress that he did when i really thought he might do this and i got very nervous and. but i guess it will be what it is and we've got great writers who tend to give us the material you know i don't really write stories because he's awful if you was well i you think i should interview the president they feel deigned to come on the show but who should be interviewing you think well it was front of me not. all of the all right good another can go for their shop the same name again i love it we showed me three many. have you ever mentioned the rift and if you did to be just do you do the impression in front of him no i glove to a bit sean connery i you know that's one of my heroes you know well enough yeah and just get yourself

a set of clubs and off the life of. my your golf game between short and the president may not be him leading. he's the intercourse champion well i will be good a little showman to see if it's really cool or the football you know i did meet one another he was billy connolly once in fact i played a sketch where i was sean connelly with a look at billy connolly but the voice of sean connery but i met billy after one of his concerts and that this guy when he was saying you know i graphs and i said here billy i think you should have you know when you're a news channel and i said b.c. and the billy connolly news network and you said when i did he could. have the music opportunity of meeting showing back in twenty fifty when he was in the order introduction out suspect the team shall never die and the bahamas. why chant the consummate professional he had a phone conversation a couple of days before we would discuss what was going to be doing of course when if we formed we would i was on holiday with the family and did you see tosh it just

said to me just the way you see it which is one of those about you where we go parse we. go but to use that one speaker in every form because my kids they get fixated on voice that i write is amazing place about how ms ms wonderful wife me should be and everyone was in a box to do a folk play it was a wonderful experience i will never forget by kid cudi how to create a what was it you put a compass a figure once between sean connelly and billy connolly well that's right yeah it was for a show back and my goodness it was only one thousand nine hundred ninety eight called up to something and it was can fill it was going sketch where it was sean connery the voice of sean connery billy connolly hello. so i was doing the show and it was always our hero who you know back in my day the neighbors. you know we're from times tick we used to leave our front and back doors open all day you know like all over when we. did either of them see the sure oh as a little well that we we've shared the radio show many years ago and i'm the one to

talk about that because that was a to see this off the ball because i have a scottish football still running cover the fantastic twenty five years colt series and you played a lot of number an up and coming you know dashing scottish politician. alistair darling. i wonder who that could be well that's right i played i like many times in fact he told me i think it may have been an off the ball don't know or a function of kind of member way years ago that shawn was in fact a big fan of the show it was he thought it was me you see. you're too kind of sean connery said. program which pretty good. story was shown usual joy and show us the less the complete deal to the off the ball but the jet of flight the fact that my team is hard to that will not start and there have been wins and losses i

don't know maybe but this over the twenty five years of house one more than helps i don't know i like when i was a bit like a political coupe it was tough go for lots of losses and then we got a few. so i think that was what next for you listen yeah well the new year of car well became exciting to the. radio four of them got a new cd is a dead ringer starting and running and corner playing millennium from against good stone and might be quick good luck hoping to do some some projects together with the who know what a life work i feel a voiceover work where i get asked to do trailers in a world that's my day job which i love you know i want the option to fight for my shack to stay here and london well quit while you are amazing really if i mean i made the move in one thousand nine. and and fight for your guests was my she was my launch of she was the sponsor hog in london and one thousand five hundred twenty pence in the bank so yeah i mean you've got to make a move though and i commute

a stoke up to scotland but you know that's to me of a thought would have been seeing you and panto you know playing a great did. a great deal of well i think might be a great billet in the pentode of a punter once with. many years ago the great daddy in the rue three pairs of tights to play i was wishy washy oh yeah. i have. nothing to change. how did the person react to the entire field everything. that showed enough to worry about let's come up. you ask a lot of stupid questions. you know you mentioned a few minutes ago that one of our guests of this christmas show was someone used to board with you in a struggling young comedian in london. they got a coming up after the break was that beat these two lads up we've asked by people

whose interviews created a create impression that if he was wonderful i'd just every arnold and former liberal m.p. lembit to pick join the same. show . or people feed the economy because they buy scratch tickets scratch off lottery tickets they you know when i was living in the ghetto in new york you know the red apple grocery store uptown had the highest prices in town and liquor stores are open and you'd buy you know more expensive in the ghetto and that's how you build an economy it's always built on the backs of the poor america was built on the slave market america was built on prison labor. day the good times of america are now. well that's all very swishy and swell that's over we got to go back to basics .

is that country called russia nor was it what no one has ever heard about the country never even heard about most school. welcome back and welcome to the show of debbie arnold lead or pick her joining us

did you have a good christmas that was all right i suppose if you like that kind of. slipped stuff you know i think we go longer lived there and we could be cheerful lo ok i'll change my mind it was great christmas lights and sirens fashionable i love christmas christmas i'm a real christmas bunnies of course every year on the shore on the set just over there are a few months ago when we were commemorating a marking holocaust memorial day due to all the wonderful story a moving story about your family and let's take a quick look at that clip she remembers sitting on her papa's knee and him saying to her if you hear yes i know you're in england so she knew those words in english then she said that you remember going to the station and she was really excited to go and see a train in the station and she was with mom this was from vienna this is from vienna she was holding her mother and father's hand on her and she was there as well and she was skipping towards the train loads of people at station then she turned around and her mother had gone her father had gone and she was holding hands

with her auntie and she was looking around for mom or pop or a bearing in mind she was this high and then the next thing she knew she was pushed on the train and turned around and her auntie was gone and then she started to get frightened and started to cry and she couldn't see over the so the window so you know the train was here and my mother couldn't see out of the window so she just started to cry that of course got a tremendous reaction from so many who watched the show and what are you doing now i was at the scene is it so sad when you think of that little girl my mom and there are hundreds and thousands of children now that we just can't seem to rescue safe passage or trying to rescue these kids but in the last two years they've only rescued twenty when you think the kinda transport in ten days they got something through the government and within ten months they rescued ten thousand children why eighty years later is this happening again and we can't help the children and i'm so passionate about this and safe passage and little. you know we've got it we've got something going on we're trying to get more children out but it just doesn't seem possible does this go above politics isn't this humanitarian she says is it

makes me so so sad we make a good point because the year it's been taken over by bricks that and very much almost the things are being put in the back garden which are really important and impacting our children are living in fields they're dying you know three thousand people have died this year trying to get to this country i'm talking about little children like my mother who have just been left little children are left to die left being raped i mean it's it's the most awful thing and why can't we just bring unaccompanied children to this country this isn't about immigration this is nothing to do with immigration this is helping people that need help nor mother is going to put her child in i don't need to get across thousands and thousands of miles of ocean seas and lace is a safer option yes and wish and that's why the charity is called safe passage we are trying to bring people over i mean the government pledged to bring over three thousand children they didn't even bring over three hundred i mean the law was

appealed i mean what is going on here i mean how can we say that we're going to divorce breaks and there's going to be fifty billion pounds to do that and we can't get the money together and help these children they need help well enough a break has enough it's not my fault i was there and the truth actually helped set up the holocaust memorial day and it's amazing how the difference between what you're talking about those compares to what's been happening in politics i don't know about you mr sama but i don't miss parliament because as a single issue things are very different to my life it's really been quite an extraordinary you know times of the journey that i've. learned that there was a clip which had a big feel reaction because it was a program about how people overcame set books and politics and you talked a bit when you lost your seats a member of parliament what less of a look at the club. i was on i got news for you the morning after i'd lost they booked me beforehand expected me to pull out but of course that was the subject of humor your laugh at the time being not laughing inside and over time i lost that

momentum and i lost direction if you like i lost my narrative i had been an m.p. i expected to be an m.p. and i was nothing and i had no role typically in my area i looked out the window and thought what do i do next but she went on to say that we've rebuilt a life and commenting on politics and other things a world so i was not doing as a commentators opposed to practitioner what will see in that clip reminds me it was very honest conversation i had with the and it was actually quite emotional i thought about it afterwards you have to basically reinvent yourself there's no sympathy when you leave it's like really sorry lost by your history it took me really about seven or eight years to do that now i'm director of communications public affairs for the motorcycle action group and i suppose that is part of the tickle but it's not party political and i'm actually in politics again as well i'm chair of the parliament of a scar out of out of that bill yes i heard of how did the various nation love this

and this was super you were an m p one of the one of your notable campaigns was i'm there for being an eminent danger from asteroids of thought jex to be well i thought that i was donald trump the best of a sort of great guy. and i'm not coming back the subject of adversity and of course i talk about can be far from becoming to london as it presents struggling to make their career how did you live with meat we met he was playing germany cricket and tonight he was along and he was green and he was very very strange but my ex-husband said this guy's a genius thirty break things or so there's a lot of stuff that i would tell you and louis basically said oh yes i'd love to come to the blue and the other thirty two p. in the abbey national and i said are you going to come and live with us and he said no i can. we dragged him down here in the kind of rest is history he came to live with me so i had a grown up child of twenty five and a daughter of two and one of seven and he became my son and it really had an

impressionist as well right yeah yeah yes at the arnold my father was a rational i'm obviously shocked was that lee you will usually not be national not somebody just what. it really is where the i never got it everything didn't get only got this as you know it showed that was pretty much what i had in the back. of the way yet which is you know and listen to the national building helpline social media which impacts all of what's happening in politics around the world of course could have quite a negative impact on young people yes i think so and the national body helpline a fantastic i mean they've helped so many people east and it's not just kids you know it's adults that get bullied and the most you know important what place is in the world and people are terrified to go back to work because of what's been happening with their bosses this isn't me to this is just bullying in the workplace i didn't realize it was so bad you know as as that says you know we have you know we have a great life or whatever but i've known

a lot of actresses and actors and you must know this is will be afraid to go to work because people were very nice to them on the set you just think of all that something we've dealt with it but then as you get older you realize that it's just it's actually it's not right to treat people like that. yet over there i mean your . level when you were in parliament there must've been some things that you were able to achieve in the time that you were there that really meant something to you yeah the biggest single thing i did was the northern ireland peace process i was the only mainline politician who was there from the beginning of it to the end the whole ten years it was frightening you're sitting in rooms with people who have maybe killed people they definitely done it in a couple of occasions they've actually attempted to kill people i knew that was really strange it was frightening but at the same time at the letters i was saving lives as well probably the best thing i did and then there's the not so special stuff as well and i don't miss what's. turning to single issue paula at the moment is the diversity of chucked out i lost a seat but the diversity i've got now i don't know about right. i think three of us

and they stop by in comments if you think despite the single issue problem of the comic those of nor quite quickly would have us just just a couple of old fogies looking by to say things will be better but even if they demonstrate of comes on not as a life we all judge the audience as sort of minded of how lively things used to be up to the us i think the congress is being pushed on because it's just not worth the convo risking being a big carrot and then being done by the media not being able to get the message across and just having the whole optimism corroded i think that's what's happened to lucifer for lacking some courage for some problems such as bad news for you have in previous generations you might yob would dead as he was going to pay for he hada wilson very easy to pass and big recognizable figures are you struggling for figures to sneak i already homes right here while harvey got you. black belt.

that that is really is the. many those asked. yeah yeah. yeah yeah i see it is where i was attorney. george galloway was with george doing let me be perfectly good with a good many guises oh yeah he said doing days and but i wouldn't you know i would be by the good me i will be bike you know i'd. still. care about i love baseball. but look a closer loved one yes a big i guess a brag. you probably lots and lots of fun i'm sure our viewers that fed up with back then thank you all so much for making it all thanks so much and this special thing is now show me how that is talking about appreciation. you coming here at some gifts for you may write a list of you made my dream come true the staff of the program is not going to give

you something. this is a quick i don't need to list but perhaps for baby the delicious whiskey in the quick and then run get close for that it's only scotch of course you do the autos for cost so much like lazarus and i think there's a lot here that you know people have said i needed to see a quack for years this is great if i were a bit edgy puffed up would. have course amazing thank you so much and when you've got to quit i got another one that's a hell of a given your presence very heavy that is good but i thought i never put this on expenses and i think ultimately the for the political fight because so much for economic salvage or for making such a class can start to a festive edition i will hope you have a wonderful new year nothing to health happiness joy all the things you could i actually think thank you so much up in the one final face the thoughts before you will go coming back by popular demand and given it the season to be jolly he does it over and i enjoy really have a wonderful. kolo

. it's been a hell of a you know it really has been one hell of. many among us facing enormous challenges and a new mobile difficulties for endless isolated lonely facing eviction this christmas so we almost feel sympathy for police on me. i am a cell was fortunate enough to receive a christmas card from number ten. i have a supplicated this yuletide gesture. imagine my disappointment in my car. not knowing that this address. but enough of politics as the prime minister should have concluded some time ago it should even announce

a sense. my thoughts in the sporting arena did not go well as last year. in the golden breaking end of the nomination of my cell and father mcginty drew a lot steamy resident chaplain to the men's and women's and of national football sites. result as mcguinty is relishing two weeks in june at the finals with scotland's all conkling women's team and gay party. meanwhile i'm looking forward to two days in vladivostok in the zembla as the men say them buck on yet another quest for qualification but we still have a lot to be thankful for and i wake to maintain a cheerful disposition. as ever this christmas my focus is on the ordinary people. i prefer my for the shepherds to my three kings of the audient.

but take with since i've never encountered go. or frankincense or any denomination higher than a pony nort. and the watch night service collection plate. early in the year i took my jolie jaunts even jellicoe crusade company. and i own the highways and byways of scotland the highlands and the lowlands up glennon don't deal to housing schemes streams and mighty levels. largely because the bought at the shanghai mission will still focused on don't turn chains in. the was her over the most enormous joyful success eve the many are for audiences seen beth of the. not so much love of dance dance or carbon glass the body.

well i think it certainly makes sense for for moscow to think posts trump in its context with the united states i just fear that the dominant view in this city is that it is merely impossible until the united states kind of settle this domestic divide the environment in d.c. is you know i hate to see this. as work toxic but that's exactly what it is and then i think it's in a way you know you're damned if you do and you're down to film. my seven years doing drugs my nephews was still in drugs my sister just with doing
