there are people that go on it. you think will of no skill whatsoever, and i'm charging on and, and really well, because i'm, i'm a celebrity. get married here. this generally the god, the something of a m game for celebrities will strictly as a launch party as well. actually an end game. you say the celebrity, my daughter, emily, a tack deal for i'm a celebrity and it made her career. i would say she was a lot because people saw the lake on until then she'd been a sort of blonde dolly bird in films and in the, in between is no good. seen the real emmelyn. you go into the jungle goose. all your makeup and you know, you've just got to be self of was it again, sex was it was that part of her growing up was unable, tough to do that. i'd given her i did a because it always happens. it did. you see the cleaning lady kim would burn on it. i kind of walk under a destiny. it's a dash,

a stinking filthy people. so i want to use a model watching your daughter as maybe get me. were you sitting by the television, shooting an onset stand or not slug? and i was in australia. they fly you out and they did a surprise. you. you were the one waiting? no, we don't work in the hotel. oh no. when they took me into the jungle and they filmed the surprise that comes out. now i hadn't seen it for 3 and a half, nearly 4 weeks by the stages just shaken a piece so that the silence. and she came out and burst into tears. it was very emotional and i burst into tears and see the children alia month, which is the longest, would have been away from me. all. i was going to get a far what was the 1st thing when she came out, which came out, she had double cheeseburger who is no surprise. but she has said that having no

communication with outside but no phone note notes, social media being slightest oft. she said, it's fantastic for your brain. she said it, i've never felt so alive her into one happy yet and happy. would you do it less? if people ask, you know, do they do say, would you rather gone strictly or would you rather go on with us live together? i don't know the, in sex, the creepy crawly stuff because i don't like spy. doesn't all know whether you'd be great because they love people who don't like it, because then you'd be voted to do all the tasks and you become the hero. all these programs dancing are nice strictly. we. i misled to get me out there. everyone might pretend they don't watch them, but i totally want them. everyone is wanted a bit of the summer. yeah. well, what would it be like if they're strictly are running? i guess. yeah, let's go 7 louis. so let's see. you had a strictly come roy long, long, long time ago the the royal family did it. so knocker, we couldn't do strictly come good. tell me what i would ask to clean.

where are chevy? i'm doesn't really want to go out there and do things like that. i think that my son charles would be marvelous on speaker and i helped shelly your find a place for kids. charles, i thank you so much. i think this this is from for to his mother and cool mom. mama, mommy is the money. i think i think you said mother is mama, i think she's probably convalescent. perhaps camilo love is a raw hi. this week you choose as your partner with the opportunity to choose another by the office phone is never going to be a should probably be quite good and tell you how happy, where would it be? great foxtrot that i thought that was something you did in a horse. a family reunion. i don't think so. so because we've already signed up for

the motion controls. yeah, we don't want to talk about that. now we can talk about that really. we're in the now now and get get the kids out the chart. now we're not talking about that. i think that it would be great if sarah ferguson fergie good. she's not even in the rough i'm anymore. if you're back a to my i'm when i did her spitting image many years ago, i used to make her talk like this sort of it. and i gave her this law, which was a snort. and we had a saying that lines like come live name to putting after me buckingham palace. oh, it's called ginger sponge. i mean just my and her to do that and i met her and she said, why did you give me that terrible short. i didn't say i couldn't say scott, don't like very much. could i? no. oh so what did you say? i just said had to meet you ma'am?

not like, but she never started in her life. i mean, i don't, i don't know why i gave her that laugh, but it just worked. and then once when we gave a freckles once we just had a pretty good what my make for now. and she got a colander and she just sprayed orange paint through a colander for a freckles. it's really good. do ever. oh, i'm sure i'm sure. most of the quinn was still fluent statler strictly from royal, but just in the off chance she got towed, we'd have to re shoot the whole sure. well, i do get the feeling sometimes at prince charles. he must be dying to be king now. and he must be like encouraging his mom to go on dancing on. i a would be a special show tonight if that happened with their members of the royal family. it's a sort of slight tone all to a bit more trouble. then somebody like jeremy by hand on the program today. we have a royal slipping on ice. i was slipping on ice like jeremy vine. that's brilliant.

i mean that you know, you sound more like jeremy vine than he does merry christmas and happy new to everybody, but to take care. i can go on a patient of our majesty kate. so i went there, mom, try this one. this one doesn't know what she sounds like these days. i think she still sort of tightly kept like they're like a path. a newer somebody told me that mimics and apparently a chem cures we've heard or referred to, is an amazing mimic. apparently, there will be no charles as you know because of his love of the goods used to do. yeah. but i made that devices and already he was very good out that those are film of them and personally characters from the good news. i think you have to think that there were all room the christmas dinner or you know, i'll get chosen to use. i don't know, but this one job. ah,

do you think hey, here's my make an ending megan. i want to. oh yeah. how do you make that with the other thing? that's very funny. you well for steadily as i say, everybody can watch that before christmas. that said, there's been other new programs that started this and you use china for instance, given use in a lot of our very well known people that have been and god about and you know, at night or friday, a little oliver, he was running the station a remove himself, the usual suspects had been like out cash list of your impressions, lewis, her guys a probably had a go at least 3 of the 5 aimen homes. not so good. there. i could. i don't know. our producer murray would probably make a comment about i don't know if i've met him

a couple of times. right. i had time. i was just, i was just to, it was always driving now. is the thing that i t v presenter do that makes me left tom bradley scott where they all have sort of almost caught their hands. right. ok . ok then persia laid out for a slightly little pass to watch the news. my favorite of course channel for news is we always farewell on channel 4 news here. i am you like my soaks uncle's ankle somehow? i'll join you. i don't think john will be going to keep in here somehow. no, i said i do for us is like a fight night. i got a big deal out of the table in columbia. don't let me make another side j beta is we never take the day of the crowbar. and there you go. the medical put see, see all of us. yes. ever. seems intense. even breakfast?

yes. i hello to the far right there. hello, i am andrew new. someone left a keiko's in the rain and it looked like me. somebody said a viewing figures took a boost when we sat on our opening night, we had gremlins because a lot of our viewers up with they have a lot of famous people, a well known, well known people, some for used cars. but if you have a choice, that's fine, i'll feel be quite good. present in id love to run some might be a voice that sort of goes up like that and ship it from what i read the news in a very interesting way to literally joanna lumley. so that you'll join on, i guess what, i can, you know, having a fabulous time and china. now he's on his team maurice documentary.

ok, run the quote and meeting people who make her smile and make you feel absolutely happy to starting off with i do her. i think she would read the news a why not? i don't want to suppose while the c l lawrence kelly, the queen. normally the one wrong, but in case you want to use new one, you know, because it's not really an area. and you really, really, really, really not a huge you, you, you, a mom with getting government and the white family. and then she takes the glasses off then as well. i think she becomes cool. you and then you again and exactly what the problem is. i. oh, but yeah,

i remember a more astute used to read the evening news. all right, we'll ask that models june a modern student, a banksley land, but it was sounding like a lot of bees humming around the pins. but that was my understood i trying to see her reading now. i know harry bowers, i was you know what? i've got the pasta, i've got this, i've got the structure tough. i've got the dangly leg. i would read the news, how ever you wanted it, or i would say if it's got to be strictly strictly new when you're that's quite a good name for a program can ever anyway. great. we are going to continue with the wonderful louis and kate up to the brig, where we're going to look at some of the highlights of the television here. we'll see you that josh. ah,

ah, colorado. he came on the test bed for medical and then later recreational marijuana and it started with something so innocent. i was wanting to socialize. everybody does it for why can't i and then it just keeps going and going and going . i'm just going to do it was, yeah, admitted i'm just going to try this one and then never do it again because they want my phone. customers want to know how to read on inside. ok. and you surround yourself with people who are encouraging you to do it and not to stop. it felt like my life was over junk office about the balcony and died. mm. you just

welcome back. we're joined by impressionist louis mccloud and kate robins, who were for sort of hearing some of the highlights of the the show busier. now we've already dealt with the strictly come royals the, the number one television shows, but the tv shows this year's been succession, a starting of co scotland zone don diesel and brian cox, that he placed william roy of succession. and brian was telling us when he was on the show here, because logan roy is notably profane that so people come up to the us for selfie. so the asked brian to swing through us. so i think it happened to, you know, i usually get them just to tell me if, oh, nice, i think that's great girls. a few people i knew the has present of the get make. graham has that. what are these podcasts?

yeah, billy connolly had that famously. you know, does that re, to be told that story was going and brighten and they are know that the camera and this is what we boy with just like to show. if off it was really easy and he said it and the, the me guy goes i happened to you when you were playing margaret thatcher. know because when i was playing margaret thatcher, it was only occasionally, it was usually a boy. it was usually sunday called steven nellin, who played up i did, they were on a few episodes. and the thing about margaret thatcher is she would never sworn at anybody in public. and she was such a young lady. partly she didn't used to speak like that. apparently she used to have a high pitched voice issue that i could pay new as well and very, very high pitch. and so he said margaret, he got to bring a time. dad, i bring the town dime,

they want to be one of the people that should like that. and then that's how she spoke. and she was very, very, very sick. he had quite a sexy voice. i thought, well, a little hole. conservative party of the day will in thrall to yes, absolutely, i didn't receive, told the little modulate ones that my gosh, get that done to be. who knows? that was blank cock say he was lot of all of us ourselves. i gotta go global a but also is the only actor who actually managed to land the rule in both brave heart and rob roy in the 2 block bustos together, right. a lot of them are all the article scottish titles, and i used to get a role in both my head twice. what was on the shoe? he said, listen, who should have happened as liam neeson? should i should been william wallace is a big guy. a mill guest as chris small guy should have been rob roy. her father was 5 foot. nothing and bundle it. so i don't know, but listen, a played brave song,

one of my favorite actors and a voice i use often when i get those phone calls from these call centers, they want to sell you something. i don't know who you are. my name's john. i don't know what you want. i just need to know how long you've been registered at your current address. if you're looking for run some, i don't have money. i do have a very particular set of skills skills i've acquired over a long period of time. skills nightmare for people like you. okay, i'll call back i. people often lewis i was and if you had the, the thoughts always worthwhile talking about one hand in the past year and the number of folks, of course you'd be standard. i only been in the standards that was great being in such an iconic show. and it reminded me years ago i was in an iconic chauffeur, wasn't probably as well produced, and that's called crossroads. and when i was in crossroads there was a, a cleaning lady called mrs. brownlow i'm classified was shot all in one. you

couldn't have retakes unless you swore on camera and i was too young and innocent to swear on camera. and so mrs. brown came on once i remember she's like this and she comes on with that complaint. lou and the director shouted cause i can't hear of the thing because of that black. mm. vacuum cleaner. and i swear his p a run down on to the sent you an, i'm sorry, its a typo. it should say mrs. brownlow hovering in the background. lisa make for love, you louis a boat to skin color bought by politically and loosen. i once walked into the womb hills for lunch and hospital, which i can't remember why just occasionally i did that. so i think i have shown quarterly or do commentary of the race because sir, one of the guys didn't accommodate his fortune. the neat has said he'll do the whole race a shaun call a shot shot at the brave finishing stock. i guess i could do that. but tell,

could you do an sean, paul eating a race meeting or so well there you go. all line ownership, right? shifting by the dock of the bay, it was a couple of crackers as well. of course they couldn't see it when you got it. sounds like it was it used to be on the job. i think it was fred mccauley wrote miller's job when i was with time. and i said my name is james bond, double. 07. and this is how old the guy got was. it was all one of your outside london guy with q. you're a shout for sure. i brush we my shaun. great. all yes. a guy. so many stories, but what i was was showing one sir, and sean for various reasons. wanted to put up greg dyke, who, who then was types of channels, bbc cars. sure. the cbs b. c. program about scotland the in an approval for us. so it wouldn't greg off

should be a women course. sure. and what they think a choppy shelley. i think i'd be great. i'd give myself w 7 point every time her screen would be great, but he didn't get an action. shirley, or he could do a structural company to make those okay. oh and when i come in, jackie, anything out of that car? i mean me, boys johnson's been on the highway as we've all seen a movie. i do all the way i went up to mac one. 0 wow. i said, i think i would have given more than a piece of my you know, less ahead. i think i would give them some good head thought, you know, a good big buck where they would be it would be good ball and the pie, shirley. i know, i usually say i didn't want to burn the cleaning lady told me i'm,
