<v Speaker 2>No, no dungeons and dragons, nothing salacious or saucy. I

11
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:46.640
<v Speaker 2>don't do that sort of thing because I'm a good boy,

12
00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:49.320
<v Speaker 2>because no one will deal with you. What have you

<v Speaker 1>Jordan Charles about his latest project in Spotlight.

17
00:01:00.359 --> 00:01:02.200
<v Speaker 2>We even have a game to play in our Game

18
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.359
<v Speaker 2>of the Week. But on screen now you will see

19
00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:07.400
<v Speaker 2>our social media contact it Foe. Just look for at

20
00:01:07.400 --> 00:01:08.359
<v Speaker 2>the cud TV.

21
00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:10.159
<v Speaker 1>And as names of people who have dropped a lig

22
00:01:10.239 --> 00:01:12.159
<v Speaker 1>all on the bottom of the screen. We go over

23
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to Granddad and the Shovis.

24
00:01:20.519 --> 00:01:22.799
<v Speaker 2>We're going to start off with a bit of a

25
00:01:22.799 --> 00:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>grim subject. Have you ever had homophobic abuse? Shouted at

26
00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.760
<v Speaker 2>you in the street. Did you got scouse then street?

27
00:01:35.000 --> 00:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>I have. Yes, It's horrible, isn't it. It's not pleasant,

28
00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:39.680
<v Speaker 1>it's not fun, it's not delightful.

29
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:44.920
<v Speaker 2>No, Well, there's been a bit of abuse that's happened

30
00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:46.719
<v Speaker 2>with a celebrity from Hollyoaks.

31
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.519
<v Speaker 1>Okay, using the word celebrity loosely there.

32
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 2>A little bit. But they were out with one of

33
00:01:53.319 --> 00:01:58.159
<v Speaker 2>their colleagues from this show who they work on the

34
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.920
<v Speaker 2>same show together. They've become really really good friends. It's

35
00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Kieran Richardson, who plays Stee Hay and his best friend

36
00:02:05.599 --> 00:02:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Georgi Porter I think I'm pronouncing that proptly, who played

37
00:02:09.360 --> 00:02:12.599
<v Speaker 2>Theresa McQueen, And they were chatting on a podcast recently

38
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 2>and telling this story basically about when they were trying

39
00:02:16.599 --> 00:02:20.159
<v Speaker 2>to get a taxi and yeah, just suddenly got people

40
00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:25.039
<v Speaker 2>hurling abuse at them. And even if you're the most

41
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:28.639
<v Speaker 2>bravest or the well built person, it takes you aback.

42
00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:30.759
<v Speaker 2>It takes you right back to school when you're getting

43
00:02:30.800 --> 00:02:33.360
<v Speaker 2>bullied and everything like that, and it does shock you.

44
00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 2>And then another point you got a bit brave and

45
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.439
<v Speaker 2>tried to shout back at them. They backed off and

46
00:02:39.479 --> 00:02:42.439
<v Speaker 2>then started again. You know how those situations are. We've

47
00:02:42.479 --> 00:02:47.479
<v Speaker 2>all experienced it and it's absolutely horrible. But his friend, Georgie,

48
00:02:49.000 --> 00:02:52.560
<v Speaker 2>she was reflecting on it and she gave them hell

49
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:55.199
<v Speaker 2>and she actually, because we live in a modern age,

50
00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:00.719
<v Speaker 2>recorded them clever girl. She said, that's my best friend.

51
00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.280
<v Speaker 2>And anyone who starts with my best friend, I'm like,

52
00:03:03.360 --> 00:03:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I'm having you. I don't know what she sounds like,

53
00:03:06.439 --> 00:03:09.280
<v Speaker 2>but I'm going with this voice. People knew who it was,

54
00:03:09.319 --> 00:03:11.360
<v Speaker 2>so I don't so I think that they actually got

55
00:03:11.400 --> 00:03:15.639
<v Speaker 2>fired from work, yes, but it was just a massive

56
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.840
<v Speaker 2>shock that that kind of thing still happens. You wouldn't

57
00:03:18.840 --> 00:03:21.199
<v Speaker 2>want it to happen to anyone, especially not Kieran, who

58
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.360
<v Speaker 2>is the best man in the world. Ah yeah, I thought,

59
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:28.639
<v Speaker 2>that's really kind and good ally shit and yeah, it

60
00:03:28.800 --> 00:03:31.240
<v Speaker 2>is crazy that that stuff still happens in the world,

61
00:03:31.240 --> 00:03:35.240
<v Speaker 2>but it does. And yeah, good for standing up for yourself.

62
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think I think we need more people standing

63
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>up for each other as well. So I know I've

64
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:43.599
<v Speaker 1>witnessed people early homophobic abuse and I have gone, I'm

65
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna put myself in danger, and you do get that

66
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>moment and you've just got to go, no, go, for

67
00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.159
<v Speaker 1>it exactly. They do back down as soon as you

68
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>start giving it back to them.

69
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but these are just scared in the end, It's true.

70
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:02.360
<v Speaker 2>Moving on to something a little bit more.

71
00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:05.199
<v Speaker 1>He had his nipples out in that picture. He did

72
00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:07.080
<v Speaker 1>have his nipples out of that picture. I had a

73
00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>friend who was in Hollyoaks once. He was only in

74
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.439
<v Speaker 1>it for like three episodes as a policeman. All right.

75
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. He did a very good song afterwards called whatever

76
00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.480
<v Speaker 2>Happened to Eddie? Check it out on YouTube. Shay Watsonello?

77
00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:19.279
<v Speaker 2>How do you do?

78
00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:20.839
<v Speaker 1>I was in Hollyoaks once?

79
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:22.920
<v Speaker 2>Were you so back in?

80
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to say I was about to say how

81
00:04:26.040 --> 00:04:29.040
<v Speaker 1>old it was then? Back when I was in school

82
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in Chester. It was when they filmed Hollyoaks in Chester.

83
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>Actually actually was in Chester, and they've Chess has Got

84
00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.319
<v Speaker 1>the Rose, which is like two roses shops like shops.

85
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:42.879
<v Speaker 1>And I was out there eating a Sayer's sassage roll,

86
00:04:42.920 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>which was my age as well, because I'll says anymore

87
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.279
<v Speaker 1>in a sausage roll, and the camera panned past me,

88
00:04:49.639 --> 00:04:51.519
<v Speaker 1>and then six weeks later I got clip around there

89
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>from your mother going saw you and Hollyoaks go to school.

90
00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:01.319
<v Speaker 2>At you in your sausage role. I was a fag.

91
00:05:01.399 --> 00:05:05.759
<v Speaker 2>It had three anyway, moving on to something a little

92
00:05:05.759 --> 00:05:06.639
<v Speaker 2>bit more cheery.

93
00:05:06.920 --> 00:05:09.639
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Hot Stopper is coming back.

94
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.000
<v Speaker 2>Yay, we're all big fans. Yeah yeah, so season three

95
00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.360
<v Speaker 2>is coming. It's not going to be until October, but

96
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:22.680
<v Speaker 2>because we're all good fans and we were excited about it,

97
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:25.879
<v Speaker 2>people are already speculating about what's going to happen and

98
00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:31.360
<v Speaker 2>who might be in it. Now there is speculation that

99
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.240
<v Speaker 2>there is certain people are going to be cast in

100
00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:38.199
<v Speaker 2>the show, and there's been a series of images circling

101
00:05:38.360 --> 00:05:42.040
<v Speaker 2>around showing Jonathan Bailey of Bridgeton.

102
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Nice.

103
00:05:43.360 --> 00:05:49.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, nice. So these series of images show him dressed

104
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:52.000
<v Speaker 2>very similar to a character in the graphic novels called

105
00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:56.839
<v Speaker 2>Jack Maddox. In fact, one of those pictures shows him

106
00:05:56.879 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 2>with a book that is written by Jack Maddox, the character.

107
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:06.120
<v Speaker 2>There's been no official or unofficial casting news, but the

108
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:10.360
<v Speaker 2>pictures were taken down rather sharpish, so it's a bit suggestive.

109
00:06:11.240 --> 00:06:14.120
<v Speaker 2>And he's a clear ally of the show and of

110
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.199
<v Speaker 2>the culture and stuff. Well not an ally, he actually

111
00:06:16.240 --> 00:06:18.759
<v Speaker 2>one of us. Well, I'm very very much looking forward

112
00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to it and I'm sure in the many months until

113
00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:25.120
<v Speaker 2>October there's going to be much much more speculation as

114
00:06:25.160 --> 00:06:31.160
<v Speaker 2>we all get overly excited about its return. Now you

115
00:06:31.319 --> 00:06:34.519
<v Speaker 2>are looking for a little bit more news is less

116
00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 2>about show biz. It's more about something that's very very

117
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:44.279
<v Speaker 2>important and also very very funny. So, in a desperate

118
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:49.279
<v Speaker 2>attempt to stay relevant, this muppet has been returning. Do

119
00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:50.720
<v Speaker 2>you remember Liz Truss.

120
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh, a lot of serving premise that short is short.

121
00:06:56.120 --> 00:07:00.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes, not only satisfied with being a worst prime minister

122
00:07:00.240 --> 00:07:04.680
<v Speaker 2>in history, which is some going after Boris, she's come

123
00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 2>back sponsoring a bill. I'm going to read this out

124
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:12.920
<v Speaker 2>these please. Oh it's so awful. She's sponsoring a bill

125
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:19.240
<v Speaker 2>called the Health and Equalities Act, and she's well, she

126
00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.480
<v Speaker 2>says it would define sex in law as biological and

127
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.120
<v Speaker 2>end the and this is the quote absurd and dangerous

128
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.079
<v Speaker 2>situation where biological males self defining as females can access

129
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 2>girls and women's toilets and so on, as well as

130
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:42.480
<v Speaker 2>sports competitions. Yeah she can. So here's the funny bit.

131
00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.000
<v Speaker 2>Though she has been frustrated in this, and it's very

132
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.040
<v Speaker 2>very funny how she's been frustrating. It never got heard

133
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:54.160
<v Speaker 2>this bill because of something called filibustering.

134
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>That's my favorite thing of procrastination on an epic scale.

135
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:03.839
<v Speaker 2>It so what they did, basically, Parliament was debating another

136
00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:08.720
<v Speaker 2>act beforehand, or another subject beforehand, called animal welfare, and

137
00:08:09.639 --> 00:08:13.720
<v Speaker 2>they just delayed her Bonker's bill several nps. Actually, it

138
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:17.680
<v Speaker 2>has to be said both Tory and Labor just kept

139
00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.879
<v Speaker 2>the debate going so she couldn't talk. And they did

140
00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:26.920
<v Speaker 2>this by talking about the names of ferrets. Yep. So

141
00:08:27.560 --> 00:08:32.799
<v Speaker 2>the MPs in question are Maria Eagle, Sarah Champion, Selaine Saxby,

142
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.799
<v Speaker 2>and Samantha Dixon. All hats off to you, ladies. Champion,

143
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:40.919
<v Speaker 2>this is how the conversation actually went. I've watched it.

144
00:08:40.679 --> 00:08:43.639
<v Speaker 2>It's not in real time. It's a lot exact quotes,

145
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:46.759
<v Speaker 2>but this is how it went. Champion said, I'm interested

146
00:08:46.799 --> 00:08:51.159
<v Speaker 2>that my right honorable friend is keenly mentioning ferrets at

147
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.200
<v Speaker 2>every opportunity that she can in this debate. So let

148
00:08:54.240 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 2>me just put it on record that my brother had

149
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>a ferret called Oscar. Then chips in, my honorable friend

150
00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.120
<v Speaker 2>now has that on record. I do not really know

151
00:09:05.159 --> 00:09:07.840
<v Speaker 2>what else to say about that, except that I'm sure

152
00:09:07.919 --> 00:09:11.200
<v Speaker 2>Oscar brought her brother a great joy. Has the right

153
00:09:11.240 --> 00:09:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Honorable Member of North Devon ever owned a ferret? And

154
00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:18.679
<v Speaker 2>if so, what was its name? We go on Saxby

155
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:23.000
<v Speaker 2>then chips in. This is an excellent intervention. I will

156
00:09:23.039 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 2>come to ferrets, but unfortunately I have not had the

157
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 2>pleasure of having one at home myself. Then they move

158
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:35.600
<v Speaker 2>off ferrets unfortunately and their nomenclature. They then go on

159
00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:40.960
<v Speaker 2>into Coronation Street. Dixon chips up, it's my honorable friend.

160
00:09:41.080 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 2>Is my honorable friend? Aware of a recent Coronation Street

161
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:47.840
<v Speaker 2>storyline on precisely this issue, not Erretz the animal welfare.

162
00:09:48.240 --> 00:09:51.559
<v Speaker 2>It involved an indomitable Evelyn, who's of course played by

163
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Maureen Lipmann, and cover the issues around puppy farming. It

164
00:09:55.279 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>was a strong and educational storyline. Yeah, it's nice to

165
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:04.000
<v Speaker 2>see that there are some MPs who are not lying,

166
00:10:04.120 --> 00:10:07.559
<v Speaker 2>incompetent and im moral scum with no agenda other than

167
00:10:07.559 --> 00:10:10.440
<v Speaker 2>their own self aggrandizement. I don't know who I'm referring

168
00:10:10.480 --> 00:10:18.279
<v Speaker 2>to their trusts, but yes, sadly, philibustering works both ways.

169
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:24.440
<v Speaker 2>And there was another bill being discussed in March that

170
00:10:24.600 --> 00:10:27.440
<v Speaker 2>was going to ban conversion therapy and they did the

171
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:29.279
<v Speaker 2>same thing the other way around, so it never really

172
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:33.759
<v Speaker 2>got heard. So the ferrets are very very funny. But

173
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:36.759
<v Speaker 2>it'd be good if Parliament just got on with the

174
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:40.759
<v Speaker 2>job and stopped horrible bills going ever through and stopped

175
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.559
<v Speaker 2>pretty sensible bills from actually being heard. And that's the

176
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.879
<v Speaker 2>show biz's that.

177
00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I can't really say anything funny on this one other

178
00:10:49.519 --> 00:10:50.759
<v Speaker 1>than Liz trusted.

179
00:10:52.320 --> 00:11:04.919
<v Speaker 2>Well stick around. Is it's Mike in the Buzz. You're

180
00:11:04.960 --> 00:11:07.399
<v Speaker 2>watching during the card with mist and Mike. Now, let's

181
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.600
<v Speaker 2>see what he didn't put into his private browsing as

182
00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:11.960
<v Speaker 2>it's Mike and the Buzz.

183
00:11:20.039 --> 00:11:21.159
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been to Australia?

184
00:11:21.879 --> 00:11:22.039
<v Speaker 2>No?

185
00:11:22.440 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 1>No, okay, because when you're going to Australia, I have

186
00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:26.759
<v Speaker 1>big sign of saying you can't bring anything like fruits

187
00:11:26.799 --> 00:11:29.039
<v Speaker 1>or vegetables or anything. It's very very strict on their

188
00:11:29.080 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>border control. Do you know why that is?

189
00:11:33.559 --> 00:11:37.240
<v Speaker 2>Because it's a completely different environment and you don't want

190
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.679
<v Speaker 2>to introduce foreign things because they have a problem with ants.

191
00:11:42.399 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 1>They do very aggressive ant problem, very aggressive ants, ants,

192
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:52.279
<v Speaker 1>very ass and the reason is because for things like this, Right,

193
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.320
<v Speaker 1>there's an island in Antarctica. Right, two hundred years ago

194
00:11:57.039 --> 00:12:02.759
<v Speaker 1>someone introduced a mouse that was predic. Now they have

195
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:06.639
<v Speaker 1>over a million mice on this island in Antarctica, just

196
00:12:06.639 --> 00:12:09.879
<v Speaker 1>outside of Antarctica. Them because of global warming, these mice

197
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:15.679
<v Speaker 1>have been prolific, rampant mice, rampant mice, right, so much

198
00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:20.200
<v Speaker 1>that now the mice are eating birds because they've got

199
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.320
<v Speaker 1>no other food left. So these mice have gone rampant

200
00:12:22.519 --> 00:12:29.039
<v Speaker 1>eating birds. Oh how hot like birds are, big seagulls

201
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:34.960
<v Speaker 1>and stuff. Mice ganging up and attacking them. Cute little fairy.

202
00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:38.440
<v Speaker 1>Oh look how cute the little mouse is killer teeth right,

203
00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:42.200
<v Speaker 1>over a million on the island, right. So they thought

204
00:12:42.200 --> 00:12:43.799
<v Speaker 1>of how they're going to get rid of these mice

205
00:12:43.840 --> 00:12:47.480
<v Speaker 1>and kill them off. They're going to use helicopters.

206
00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:51.000
<v Speaker 2>Didn't they think a cat might be a good IDEA very.

207
00:12:50.919 --> 00:12:53.080
<v Speaker 1>Hungry cat, very million mice.

208
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Well they get one from Warner Brothers with the looney chews,

209
00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:02.039
<v Speaker 2>and imagine and really cat, yes, to get rid of

210
00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.039
<v Speaker 2>these hundreds of these million mice.

211
00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.039
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, they using helicopters that are dropping

212
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>rat poison all over the islands.

213
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:11.919
<v Speaker 2>What's the rat poison going to do to the birds?

214
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:13.039
<v Speaker 1>Going to kill the mice?

215
00:13:15.559 --> 00:13:17.200
<v Speaker 2>It's still poison if one of the.

216
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:27.159
<v Speaker 1>Birds look then dead. This is the plan because they've

217
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>decided that they need to make sure that there's no

218
00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.639
<v Speaker 1>mice alive because if even one remains, they're going to

219
00:13:31.720 --> 00:13:32.519
<v Speaker 1>have this problem again.

220
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:35.440
<v Speaker 2>So they're just basically going to nuke it from all

221
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:36.480
<v Speaker 2>bit like their aliens.

222
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, with rat poison, but I don't think that's gonna

223
00:13:40.919 --> 00:13:41.679
<v Speaker 1>work because they're.

224
00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:46.159
<v Speaker 2>Mice, not rats. Well yeah, Roland the Ravager.

225
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's one of those things that's a warning about

226
00:13:50.919 --> 00:13:55.080
<v Speaker 1>global warming because up until like five ten years ago,

227
00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:56.200
<v Speaker 1>there weren't that many mice.

228
00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.120
<v Speaker 2>They were kind of I was going to say fantastic.

229
00:13:58.200 --> 00:13:59.960
<v Speaker 2>It was a bit chili chili. I would have thought

230
00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:02.919
<v Speaker 2>little little creature like that wouldn't survive very long.

231
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:05.440
<v Speaker 1>They do, okay, but there's not many of them. It's

232
00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:07.360
<v Speaker 1>not a lot of food. So now it's warmed up

233
00:14:07.360 --> 00:14:10.399
<v Speaker 1>a bit, they can breed more and rap food to

234
00:14:10.440 --> 00:14:11.200
<v Speaker 1>an out in birds.

235
00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:16.759
<v Speaker 2>That's actually quite like animals. For animals, they're gonna eat

236
00:14:16.759 --> 00:14:18.240
<v Speaker 2>each other. It's the circle of life.

237
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:19.759
<v Speaker 1>It moves us all.

238
00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I'm not going to think so we'd have to pay royalties,

239
00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:29.039
<v Speaker 2>but we thankful. Yeah, there's something about that that just

240
00:14:29.039 --> 00:14:31.200
<v Speaker 2>seems a little bit disjointed and natural to me.

241
00:14:31.639 --> 00:14:33.440
<v Speaker 1>It's the mice eating the birds that doesn't.

242
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's a bit weird because we've.

243
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Also hitchcocks and the birds been expected. But moving on.

244
00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:48.200
<v Speaker 1>Do you have a middle name now? No, missed Moonscape.

245
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:57.799
<v Speaker 2>No. Some people say ickles, mister gules. Okay, I have

246
00:14:57.879 --> 00:14:59.960
<v Speaker 2>no idea why. But there's a lot of different people

247
00:15:00.200 --> 00:15:04.679
<v Speaker 2>called me mysticals over the years. But no, no middle name.

248
00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.919
<v Speaker 1>This is not a bit odd enough. I don't need enough.

249
00:15:06.919 --> 00:15:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Where they calling you ball bagging, you just misheard.

250
00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:15.399
<v Speaker 2>Back to homophobic abuse being shouted at me in the street.

251
00:15:15.759 --> 00:15:18.440
<v Speaker 2>They're just calling the name, oh, ball bag.

252
00:15:20.120 --> 00:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>Abusive.

253
00:15:20.519 --> 00:15:21.120
<v Speaker 2>You don't enjoy it.

254
00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:24.840
<v Speaker 1>It's a woman called Rihanna all right who has changed

255
00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:30.320
<v Speaker 1>her middle name based on something she loves. Okay, so

256
00:15:30.399 --> 00:15:35.399
<v Speaker 1>she is now called Rihanna Marleybourne, as in after the

257
00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:36.399
<v Speaker 1>station in London.

258
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I thought you meant the fags.

259
00:15:40.799 --> 00:15:43.399
<v Speaker 1>So there she is, all right. She's changed her name legally.

260
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:47.120
<v Speaker 1>The reason why is because she's worked in the railways

261
00:15:47.159 --> 00:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>in London for twenty years and it's her favorite station.

262
00:15:52.399 --> 00:15:52.840
<v Speaker 2>So much.

263
00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.120
<v Speaker 1>It's not a big station, this is Derek quote, it's

264
00:15:55.159 --> 00:15:57.600
<v Speaker 1>not a big station, but it has a big soul.

265
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:05.039
<v Speaker 2>So I thought people who had trained spotters are massive nerds.

266
00:16:05.399 --> 00:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>She's not a trainspotter exactly. It's about the station itself exactly.

267
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:13.360
<v Speaker 2>That's that's that's higher on the nerds.

268
00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>She considers it her home away from home, right, And

269
00:16:17.159 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 1>she said, unlike other train stations in London, it has

270
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>a warm and personal touch.

271
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.480
<v Speaker 2>Well, who am I to judge if it makes her happy.

272
00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>She's not harming anyone. Is she bonkers?

273
00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>But you know, yeah, she was going to change her

274
00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:36.279
<v Speaker 1>first name till her daughter said no, Mom, just no.

275
00:16:36.600 --> 00:16:38.440
<v Speaker 2>What was she going to change her first name too?

276
00:16:38.960 --> 00:16:40.919
<v Speaker 1>She's going to lose her actual first name and change

277
00:16:40.919 --> 00:16:41.720
<v Speaker 1>it to the name of the station.

278
00:16:43.600 --> 00:16:48.639
<v Speaker 2>Let's just change it all Agat became Mary Lebon. Every Labon,

279
00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:55.240
<v Speaker 2>Mary Lebon, Simon Labon, Yeah, but Mary yeah, Simon Lobon, Yeah,

280
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Mary Lebon's.

281
00:16:57.360 --> 00:16:58.879
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people that don't getting the reference of

282
00:16:58.919 --> 00:16:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Simon Labon.

283
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.319
<v Speaker 2>Well, I don't think she's harming anyone, and she should

284
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:12.799
<v Speaker 2>fill her boots and live happily as whoever and however

285
00:17:12.880 --> 00:17:13.519
<v Speaker 2>she wants to be.

286
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And if you want to share your inner stories

287
00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:19.039
<v Speaker 1>with us. Why not do so at the TV on

288
00:17:19.039 --> 00:17:21.680
<v Speaker 1>social media and that brings is nicely to us story

289
00:17:21.759 --> 00:17:23.960
<v Speaker 1>of the week. You're quite proud of your weight loss at.

290
00:17:23.920 --> 00:17:28.119
<v Speaker 2>The moment on the journey, I'm getting there. Yeah, it's

291
00:17:28.359 --> 00:17:29.240
<v Speaker 2>beginning to shift.

292
00:17:29.599 --> 00:17:31.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you came in this morning and told me you

293
00:17:31.519 --> 00:17:36.759
<v Speaker 1>lost four quid or something. Well, it's this gentleman from

294
00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Vietnam who has lost something a little bit more. He

295
00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:46.240
<v Speaker 1>went into the doctor with cramps, very not well right,

296
00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:48.359
<v Speaker 1>and the x ray nom went, oh it wasthing a

297
00:17:48.440 --> 00:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>bit way there, more than a dicky tummy. We need

298
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to have an investigate. So they've they've cut him open

299
00:17:54.480 --> 00:18:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and pulled out a live thirty centimeter eel m from

300
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:02.759
<v Speaker 1>his inners.

301
00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.359
<v Speaker 2>How the hell did that get in?

302
00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:10.960
<v Speaker 1>Well? This the man couldn't explain it, So how's that happened?

303
00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:16.039
<v Speaker 1>He's like, I don't know, mate, obviously, m I don't know, mate,

304
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.960
<v Speaker 1>not sure right, And that's went There's only one way

305
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:23.240
<v Speaker 1>it could have gone up there? Well, no up there,

306
00:18:23.240 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 1>because if he had gone down there, he had chewed

307
00:18:25.119 --> 00:18:26.559
<v Speaker 1>and bitten and they had gone through asking it to

308
00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:30.319
<v Speaker 1>be dead. So it's gone up inside him.

309
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:33.759
<v Speaker 2>He could he could have had a very vigorous blow

310
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:35.480
<v Speaker 2>job and then it had fallen off.

311
00:18:35.680 --> 00:18:39.400
<v Speaker 1>He could have sneezed. It's like open and yeah, And

312
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:40.960
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how quickly it got in there, but

313
00:18:41.000 --> 00:18:42.440
<v Speaker 1>they know that that's the way that he got in.

314
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.640
<v Speaker 2>Becauld he just have a dream. It happened whilst he's unconscious,

315
00:18:46.640 --> 00:18:50.519
<v Speaker 2>and he just had a very very noise stream about

316
00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.000
<v Speaker 2>a big It had.

317
00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:54.880
<v Speaker 1>To a bit of water, because heels are of course

318
00:18:55.160 --> 00:18:58.440
<v Speaker 1>water based creatures. So what they've worked out is that

319
00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.759
<v Speaker 1>it will have entered through his bum, worked its way

320
00:19:01.759 --> 00:19:04.599
<v Speaker 1>around is colon, right, and because of where it was

321
00:19:04.640 --> 00:19:07.759
<v Speaker 1>that it then had to nibble through his colon to

322
00:19:07.799 --> 00:19:09.759
<v Speaker 1>get into his part of his abdomen.

323
00:19:09.359 --> 00:19:14.000
<v Speaker 2>That they out. How did he not feel that.

324
00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:16.799
<v Speaker 1>Very slack ass?

325
00:19:17.839 --> 00:19:18.000
<v Speaker 2>All?

326
00:19:18.079 --> 00:19:20.279
<v Speaker 1>I can say it must have been a very slack

327
00:19:20.480 --> 00:19:24.759
<v Speaker 1>He doesn't know it wasn't sure it happened, how like

328
00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:27.799
<v Speaker 1>I think what's happened is has fallen on it?

329
00:19:28.359 --> 00:19:28.559
<v Speaker 2>Right?

330
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.279
<v Speaker 1>Did that happened or I fell on it? I wouldn't

331
00:19:33.319 --> 00:19:38.160
<v Speaker 1>know a thing about that kind of scenario. Is that

332
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:39.839
<v Speaker 1>a liabel did you fall a light bulb?

333
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:42.559
<v Speaker 2>No?

334
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:44.279
<v Speaker 1>No that personal idea?

335
00:19:44.480 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 2>No?

336
00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 1>What did you fall on?

337
00:19:46.680 --> 00:19:55.880
<v Speaker 2>No? No? No, I'm getting no, no, no.

338
00:19:56.000 --> 00:20:00.240
<v Speaker 1>No, I'm not waking live eels up. My mom didn't

339
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:05.720
<v Speaker 1>say you were not here again. That's mm hm hamster,

340
00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.079
<v Speaker 1>I just know it's it's no like.

341
00:20:11.519 --> 00:20:13.559
<v Speaker 2>You must have known. There's no way he could not

342
00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:14.319
<v Speaker 2>have known exactly.

343
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.519
<v Speaker 1>That's why the dots are going. You didn't notice it,

344
00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:19.880
<v Speaker 1>thirty that's not a clinch.

345
00:20:20.359 --> 00:20:23.119
<v Speaker 2>That's an experience, like it can't happen in the middle

346
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:24.759
<v Speaker 2>of the night and you sleep all the way through it.

347
00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.240
<v Speaker 1>That because you'd have to have been in water. Yeah,

348
00:20:27.599 --> 00:20:29.960
<v Speaker 1>so it had to have been like waist deep in water.

349
00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:33.880
<v Speaker 2>This is why you should wear your little swimming bottoms,

350
00:20:34.839 --> 00:20:37.680
<v Speaker 2>your little budgy, your budgy little swimming bottom.

351
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.400
<v Speaker 1>I think he has got quite a large swimming bottom.

352
00:20:39.759 --> 00:20:42.119
<v Speaker 2>He definitely has a large He didn't before. He definitely

353
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:45.200
<v Speaker 2>has now. I slippery.

354
00:20:45.240 --> 00:20:48.839
<v Speaker 1>Well, well, yeah, I should watch out for those elephants

355
00:20:48.839 --> 00:20:55.720
<v Speaker 1>in the zoo. Anybody that's not watched that episode of

356
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:59.720
<v Speaker 1>the show missed once watched an elephant fist someone else.

357
00:21:00.720 --> 00:21:05.920
<v Speaker 2>Another elephant, not just someone but oh no that mm

358
00:21:07.880 --> 00:21:10.920
<v Speaker 2>that The eel can't consent, can it? It went up?

359
00:21:11.279 --> 00:21:18.240
<v Speaker 1>So I think it can can eels go backwards, ill reversing,

360
00:21:18.519 --> 00:21:19.440
<v Speaker 1>ill reversing.

361
00:21:20.400 --> 00:21:24.839
<v Speaker 2>I don't know. Well, I suppose if he enjoyed it,

362
00:21:24.920 --> 00:21:30.039
<v Speaker 2>had an eel of a time, a whale of a time.

363
00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:35.319
<v Speaker 2>Surely no hell of us, oh cold. Some jokes are

364
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:36.839
<v Speaker 2>wasted on people.

365
00:21:36.680 --> 00:21:38.720
<v Speaker 1>And some people don't make jokes at all. But that's

383
00:23:26.960 --> 00:23:32.559
<v Speaker 2>I can't remember the name of the song. Oh. There

384
00:23:32.599 --> 00:23:34.200
<v Speaker 2>are a lot of people who I used to hang

385
00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:36.480
<v Speaker 2>out with in rock clubs in the nineties wanting to

386
00:23:36.480 --> 00:23:41.960
<v Speaker 2>punch me in the face right now. Oh here, I

387
00:23:42.000 --> 00:23:43.440
<v Speaker 2>can't remember the name of the song, but it is

388
00:23:43.480 --> 00:23:53.799
<v Speaker 2>red Hot Chili Peppers right hat, Oh, under the bridge,

389
00:23:54.640 --> 00:24:25.680
<v Speaker 2>Under the bridge, I'm an idiot. On oh, hang on,

00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:41.359
<v Speaker 2>Do I get a prize for this? No? I should

392
00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.119
<v Speaker 2>win something?

393
00:24:44.359 --> 00:25:01.119
<v Speaker 4>H yeah, go on ah I heard.

394
00:25:02.200 --> 00:25:14.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, oh please more of the dramatic rendering. I want

395
00:25:14.599 --> 00:25:28.359
<v Speaker 2>to see the performance was more than a song. You

396
00:25:28.480 --> 00:25:32.640
<v Speaker 2>do just look like you are groping the invisible man

397
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:45.400
<v Speaker 2>and he's having a lovely time. Uh hm hmmm, that

398
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:50.519
<v Speaker 2>that's what you look like. Mm hmmmm killing me softly?

399
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.119
<v Speaker 2>Which version of it? I'm not too sure, but killing

400
00:25:54.119 --> 00:26:10.759
<v Speaker 2>me softly? No, you know, man, you'd be lucky to

401
00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:24.160
<v Speaker 2>be too sexy for Birmingham. I am right, said friend,

402
00:26:24.400 --> 00:26:28.279
<v Speaker 2>I'm too sexy. You're good at this. Actually, I don't

403
00:26:28.279 --> 00:26:31.400
<v Speaker 2>think it's me who should be winning the prizes. It's you.

404
00:26:31.400 --> 00:26:35.359
<v Speaker 2>You should be. You should be winning points for successfully communicating.

405
00:26:57.960 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I haven't got a clue, then, then that's all I got.

406
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:12.440
<v Speaker 2>It basically sounded a little bit like a seal complaining

407
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 2>of constipation. What far of your own? No, I haven't

408
00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:33.839
<v Speaker 2>got a clue on that one. I'm sorry, no idea.

409
00:27:39.079 --> 00:27:41.880
<v Speaker 2>What are you doing to the Invisible Man? Now? Is

410
00:27:42.240 --> 00:27:44.640
<v Speaker 2>it a lottle? Oh?

411
00:27:45.440 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was never going to get that. Sorry,

412
00:27:51.400 --> 00:28:03.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that war.

413
00:28:07.039 --> 00:28:12.480
<v Speaker 2>I thought this is very very very much my era.

414
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:18.200
<v Speaker 2>That's tub thumping. Oh god, who was the band? It

415
00:28:18.279 --> 00:28:21.160
<v Speaker 2>was like something project or something. There's a load of

416
00:28:21.160 --> 00:28:23.920
<v Speaker 2>people being very very political and making a wonderful pop

417
00:28:23.960 --> 00:28:34.079
<v Speaker 2>song to do it. Say that again, Hubba bubba, I

418
00:28:34.119 --> 00:28:42.400
<v Speaker 2>know what it is like, chumber wamba. What are you

419
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:48.960
<v Speaker 2>doing to the invisible man now? Mm hmmm mm hmmmm.

00:28:54.119 --> 00:28:56.039
<v Speaker 1>Mm hm hm hmmm.

<v Speaker 2>That that that's that's what you're doing. H another song? Please?

422
00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:21.799
<v Speaker 1>What move?

423
00:29:34.440 --> 00:29:36.960
<v Speaker 2>I I'm sorry I did not recognize that. But apparently

424
00:29:37.160 --> 00:29:41.640
<v Speaker 2>the gallery have a guess, and the galleries guesses. The

425
00:29:41.759 --> 00:29:47.920
<v Speaker 2>bird is the word. I did not know. I had

426
00:29:47.960 --> 00:30:03.400
<v Speaker 2>no idea. It was songs knowing there's a diners or

427
00:30:04.200 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 2>locker diners or go there's more. There's tons of dinosaur.

428
00:30:13.559 --> 00:30:16.440
<v Speaker 2>That would be the theme to Jurassic Park.

429
00:30:17.480 --> 00:30:30.000
<v Speaker 5>All right, they fall in love?

430
00:30:32.119 --> 00:30:44.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? Why was was it? Was it Anita Dobson, He's no, no,

431
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:49.519
<v Speaker 2>it was it was Oh WePlay shower. Isn't it Leticia Dean?

432
00:30:50.519 --> 00:30:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Anyone can fall in love? Well? Then is it not Leticia?

433
00:30:57.240 --> 00:31:03.880
<v Speaker 2>It was it? Then soon it's gonna come. Have another song, please, Mike?

434
00:31:06.640 --> 00:31:24.720
<v Speaker 2>Right right album? Mike, are you trying to wrap? I

435
00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:25.559
<v Speaker 2>am rapping.

436
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:29.480
<v Speaker 5>About the point?

437
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmmm.

438
00:31:31.559 --> 00:31:36.119
<v Speaker 2>What I can tell I can tell it it's I

439
00:31:36.200 --> 00:31:41.160
<v Speaker 2>can tell that it's a rap. The chicken and bacon

440
00:31:43.039 --> 00:31:54.599
<v Speaker 2>caesar salad, baby Baby got back. That sounded nothing like it.

441
00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:02.599
<v Speaker 2>And as Mike has a mental breakdown in the corner

442
00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:05.599
<v Speaker 2>over there, I think it's about time we moved on

443
00:32:05.839 --> 00:32:09.319
<v Speaker 2>to speak to Jordan Charles about his most recent project,

444
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:21.839
<v Speaker 2>Welcome Back to Cheering the Cud. Now I've had him before,

445
00:32:21.960 --> 00:32:24.400
<v Speaker 2>so he wanted to welcome him back as it's Jordan

446
00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:25.599
<v Speaker 2>Charles in Spotlight.

00:32:33.519 --> 00:32:36.279
<v Speaker 6>Welcome back, Thank you, Thank you for having me. I've

<v Speaker 6>me lose. Please, I'm so hungry.

450
00:32:42.079 --> 00:32:50.839
<v Speaker 2>Everybody knows we snack. Well. Last time you were with us,

451
00:32:50.880 --> 00:32:53.759
<v Speaker 2>you were telling us about this new musical. Yes, want

452
00:32:53.759 --> 00:32:55.079
<v Speaker 2>did you tell us a bit more about that?

453
00:32:55.599 --> 00:32:55.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

454
00:32:56.240 --> 00:33:00.559
<v Speaker 6>So I have been for about eleven years. I've been

455
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:06.319
<v Speaker 6>writing this musical a. Yeah, it's a bilingual Afro fantasy musical,

456
00:33:06.559 --> 00:33:10.680
<v Speaker 6>So it's got words and songs in English and Europa,

457
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:13.519
<v Speaker 6>which is a West African language, and there's also an

458
00:33:13.680 --> 00:33:17.759
<v Speaker 6>entire Euroba obviously culture and religion and mythology and that

459
00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.279
<v Speaker 6>religion and the Urishas, which is what they call gods.

460
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.240
<v Speaker 6>You can find them in Nigeria, but also in Brazil

461
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:28.079
<v Speaker 6>and in the Caribbean and kind of you know, all

462
00:33:28.160 --> 00:33:30.319
<v Speaker 6>the places that you know, our people have kind of

463
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.839
<v Speaker 6>ended up over the time, and so I wanted to

464
00:33:34.079 --> 00:33:36.599
<v Speaker 6>create this show to kind of explore that in a

465
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:42.480
<v Speaker 6>fun way. And how do you explore that with some magic? Yeah,

466
00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:47.319
<v Speaker 6>So our story is about a young man who's born disabled,

467
00:33:47.880 --> 00:33:51.559
<v Speaker 6>and it's set in a fictional country in pre colonial

468
00:33:51.599 --> 00:33:55.839
<v Speaker 6>West Africa, and so the people of their village when

469
00:33:55.839 --> 00:33:59.720
<v Speaker 6>he's born disabled, they actually discard him from the village

470
00:34:00.200 --> 00:34:03.200
<v Speaker 6>out he's cursed. But at some point he receives the

471
00:34:03.240 --> 00:34:06.799
<v Speaker 6>powers of Aya, who's the godess of wind and storms

472
00:34:06.920 --> 00:34:10.559
<v Speaker 6>and weather, and so he's able to fly and control

473
00:34:10.599 --> 00:34:12.960
<v Speaker 6>the weather. And so the show's about him kind of

474
00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 6>having these new powers and deciding how to use them

475
00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:17.920
<v Speaker 6>and how to respond to the way he's been treated

476
00:34:18.039 --> 00:34:21.440
<v Speaker 6>and you know, how to move forward. There's some big

477
00:34:21.519 --> 00:34:22.239
<v Speaker 6>old songs in then.

478
00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:24.840
<v Speaker 2>So that's a bit like a fairy tale.

479
00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 6>That it's very fairy turn inspired. It's very kind of

480
00:34:27.960 --> 00:34:31.199
<v Speaker 6>Hero's journey inspired, you know, like it's yeah, it's kind

481
00:34:31.239 --> 00:34:33.239
<v Speaker 6>of that. I've always been obsessed with fairy tales and

482
00:34:33.639 --> 00:34:37.480
<v Speaker 6>legends and mythology and comic books superheroes. So it kind

483
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.000
<v Speaker 6>of draws from all of those things but hopefully brings

484
00:34:40.039 --> 00:34:42.760
<v Speaker 6>it in a new way. So hopefully it has a

485
00:34:42.840 --> 00:34:46.159
<v Speaker 6>real kind of familiarity to people in a way, but

486
00:34:46.280 --> 00:34:50.039
<v Speaker 6>also kind of feels new and exciting cool.

487
00:34:50.679 --> 00:34:52.840
<v Speaker 1>And so let me say, it's a musical. What kind

488
00:34:52.840 --> 00:34:57.320
<v Speaker 1>of music is it? Are we expecting like high big Beyonce? Oh,

489
00:34:57.360 --> 00:34:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he expect like phantom?

490
00:34:58.599 --> 00:35:02.800
<v Speaker 6>Or we I would say, it's I mean, it's so

491
00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:05.079
<v Speaker 6>the whole thing as well as kind of mixing the

492
00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:08.079
<v Speaker 6>two languages, were also mixing the two musical styles, and

493
00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:11.920
<v Speaker 6>so it kind of has kind of really big musical

494
00:35:12.000 --> 00:35:17.800
<v Speaker 6>theater moments and elements, but also kind of really like

495
00:35:18.079 --> 00:35:23.440
<v Speaker 6>joyful or deep and intense music kind of drawn from

496
00:35:24.119 --> 00:35:26.519
<v Speaker 6>from West Africa, you know, for artists like Fella and

497
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:30.320
<v Speaker 6>you know, the beautiful choral music and especially the drum rhythms.

498
00:35:30.760 --> 00:35:35.599
<v Speaker 6>We have an amazing, amazing producer and m D. Bobby Zion,

499
00:35:36.360 --> 00:35:38.519
<v Speaker 6>and he's actually worked with a bunch of different musicians,

500
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.360
<v Speaker 6>including drummers from Nigeria, to really get the rhythms and

501
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:45.400
<v Speaker 6>the sounds, you know, really right. So it's a it's

502
00:35:45.440 --> 00:35:49.159
<v Speaker 6>a it's a party. It goes some places. But yeah,

503
00:35:49.199 --> 00:35:52.519
<v Speaker 6>at the sharing last week, everyone was just dancing and

504
00:35:52.559 --> 00:35:53.559
<v Speaker 6>having an incredible time.

505
00:35:54.440 --> 00:35:58.960
<v Speaker 2>So you're collaborating with drummers and you mentioned puppets last

506
00:35:59.000 --> 00:36:03.840
<v Speaker 2>week as well. Yeah about the pub. Everybody loves.

507
00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:07.039
<v Speaker 6>Everybody loves. But I'm glad you got that in there,

508
00:36:07.159 --> 00:36:08.519
<v Speaker 6>which actually you have to say it if we say

509
00:36:08.519 --> 00:36:09.559
<v Speaker 6>the word better, so thank you.

510
00:36:09.719 --> 00:36:09.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

511
00:36:09.920 --> 00:36:14.639
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So how how collaborative has this process been?

512
00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:18.800
<v Speaker 6>That that has been really the main thing that this

513
00:36:19.599 --> 00:36:23.559
<v Speaker 6>most recent time has been about. So we've received some

514
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:26.800
<v Speaker 6>incredible money from the Arts Council to do our R

515
00:36:26.880 --> 00:36:31.039
<v Speaker 6>and D. And actually kind of originally when I was

516
00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:34.119
<v Speaker 6>kind of putting together the process to make that happen,

517
00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:36.960
<v Speaker 6>I really thought it was going to be about me

518
00:36:37.079 --> 00:36:40.000
<v Speaker 6>writing and taking time away, but actually it's become about

519
00:36:40.480 --> 00:36:43.559
<v Speaker 6>the collaboration and essentially kind of you know, like building

520
00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:45.559
<v Speaker 6>the team and you know, the people who are going

521
00:36:45.599 --> 00:36:47.920
<v Speaker 6>to cheerlead this thing as it as it as it

522
00:36:48.000 --> 00:36:51.519
<v Speaker 6>hopefully grows. And so yeah, we've got incredible artists. I

523
00:36:51.559 --> 00:36:55.039
<v Speaker 6>mentioned Bobby Zion, our music producer. We have an incredible

524
00:36:56.119 --> 00:37:00.440
<v Speaker 6>set designer, Natalia Letienek who's been working where that's just

525
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:04.000
<v Speaker 6>created this incredible like lunar solar piece, and we've got

526
00:37:04.039 --> 00:37:07.440
<v Speaker 6>caroling on the puppets. We've also been collaborating with aerial

527
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.519
<v Speaker 6>artists to kind of show the flying elements of this

528
00:37:12.800 --> 00:37:16.480
<v Speaker 6>and the so yeah, yeah, Tamsen and Joe and Zaki

529
00:37:16.559 --> 00:37:19.199
<v Speaker 6>Musa worked with us. So it's been a whole it's

530
00:37:19.239 --> 00:37:22.880
<v Speaker 6>been a whole team effort and kind of having all

531
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.400
<v Speaker 6>of that housed here in the mill and kind of yeah,

532
00:37:25.559 --> 00:37:28.679
<v Speaker 6>cout in this beautiful place full of artists has been.

533
00:37:29.039 --> 00:37:33.519
<v Speaker 2>You started this process eleven years ago? What started everything off?

534
00:37:33.719 --> 00:37:39.119
<v Speaker 6>Eleven years ago? So I actually started writing the show

535
00:37:40.519 --> 00:37:44.360
<v Speaker 6>as my dissertation at university, and so then it was

536
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.880
<v Speaker 6>just pure imagination, right, like I was just yeah, you know,

537
00:37:48.360 --> 00:37:50.280
<v Speaker 6>like actually how to make this happen wasn't in my

538
00:37:50.320 --> 00:37:52.519
<v Speaker 6>head at all, and so I wrote this mad show

539
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:55.400
<v Speaker 6>where people were flying and gods were appearing and there

540
00:37:55.519 --> 00:37:58.800
<v Speaker 6>was magic, no limited and that no limitations at all,

541
00:37:59.280 --> 00:38:02.119
<v Speaker 6>and now they're a limitations. There are limitations.

542
00:38:03.760 --> 00:38:06.880
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything that you would from that original idea

543
00:38:07.760 --> 00:38:10.440
<v Speaker 2>or your early thoughts on it that you wish you

544
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:13.599
<v Speaker 2>could have done, but from developing it, going ah, that's

545
00:38:13.639 --> 00:38:14.199
<v Speaker 2>not going to work.

546
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:18.079
<v Speaker 6>Do you know we're making this show is actually an

547
00:38:18.159 --> 00:38:21.559
<v Speaker 6>exercise in not doing that, actually, because I think the

548
00:38:22.280 --> 00:38:25.719
<v Speaker 6>the impulse is absolutely there to kind of be like, Okay,

549
00:38:25.800 --> 00:38:27.800
<v Speaker 6>well that was you know, the dream of the twenty

550
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:29.519
<v Speaker 6>one year old and that's not going to happen now.

551
00:38:30.920 --> 00:38:33.679
<v Speaker 6>And I think actually, and I've been quite ready to

552
00:38:33.760 --> 00:38:35.960
<v Speaker 6>do that, and other people who've come to the project

553
00:38:36.039 --> 00:38:38.039
<v Speaker 6>have kind of said to me, you know, an incredible

554
00:38:39.159 --> 00:38:42.880
<v Speaker 6>business partner, Cynthia, you know, she was one of the

555
00:38:42.920 --> 00:38:44.480
<v Speaker 6>first people to say like, no, we're not you know,

556
00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.159
<v Speaker 6>but we can do it smaller, we can do She

557
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.000
<v Speaker 6>said no, no, no, like, yeah, maybe we might do

558
00:38:48.079 --> 00:38:50.000
<v Speaker 6>it smaller on the way to where we're hopefully going

559
00:38:50.079 --> 00:38:53.000
<v Speaker 6>to but you know, yeah, other people have come up

560
00:38:53.000 --> 00:38:55.119
<v Speaker 6>to the project have been like you no, we also

561
00:38:55.239 --> 00:38:57.840
<v Speaker 6>see you know, the big thing. So it feels, you know,

562
00:38:58.039 --> 00:39:00.559
<v Speaker 6>very very big and very far away and quite possible, but.

563
00:39:02.400 --> 00:39:04.039
<v Speaker 2>Why why not? Why not try?

564
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.559
<v Speaker 1>And you know you mentioned previously about you embracing your

565
00:39:07.559 --> 00:39:10.159
<v Speaker 1>blackness and queerness. How queer is the show?

566
00:39:11.360 --> 00:39:13.480
<v Speaker 6>I think this this current version of the show. So

567
00:39:13.559 --> 00:39:17.679
<v Speaker 6>I'm currently doing some one person sharings of the show.

568
00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:20.760
<v Speaker 6>So it's very inspired by like the oral tradition of

569
00:39:21.159 --> 00:39:26.079
<v Speaker 6>of of African kind of storytelling and and you know,

570
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:29.239
<v Speaker 6>kind of mythology and passing down of history. So it's

571
00:39:29.320 --> 00:39:32.039
<v Speaker 6>kind of very very inspired by that, but it's also

572
00:39:32.199 --> 00:39:34.559
<v Speaker 6>me in kind of my you know, kind of cabaret

573
00:39:34.639 --> 00:39:37.960
<v Speaker 6>performance persona. So I think these tellings of it are

574
00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:41.000
<v Speaker 6>are kind of like, yeah, some of the most kind

575
00:39:41.000 --> 00:39:43.760
<v Speaker 6>of queer versions of it. And so yeah, we did

576
00:39:43.880 --> 00:39:46.119
<v Speaker 6>did the first one last week at the Mill, which

577
00:39:46.280 --> 00:39:50.360
<v Speaker 6>was incredible, and then we do and then we've got

578
00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:56.039
<v Speaker 6>another one in London at the Phoenix Arts Club, and yeah,

579
00:39:56.079 --> 00:39:59.119
<v Speaker 6>it's just been an incredible, incredible time to kind of

580
00:39:59.199 --> 00:40:03.159
<v Speaker 6>tell this story with my lens of as I called it,

581
00:40:03.239 --> 00:40:04.360
<v Speaker 6>gain nonsense.

582
00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:07.199
<v Speaker 1>I mean, in your reference, doing it as a trial

583
00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:10.039
<v Speaker 1>isn't a mill. And we were very lucky we actually

584
00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:11.719
<v Speaker 1>got to go and see, and we've got a little

585
00:40:11.719 --> 00:40:12.480
<v Speaker 1>bit clip of that net.

586
00:40:14.519 --> 00:40:17.800
<v Speaker 3>Then let me take you to a time long long

587
00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:22.320
<v Speaker 3>ago and a place far far away, to a land

588
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:26.559
<v Speaker 3>where God still walk the earth and magic still exists.

589
00:40:27.119 --> 00:40:29.320
<v Speaker 5>From ouside.

590
00:40:29.639 --> 00:40:34.400

<v Speaker 1>Definitely tell it's a passion project for you.

597
00:41:02.079 --> 00:41:04.679
<v Speaker 6>It really is, it really really is, and it's been

598
00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:07.760
<v Speaker 6>you know, I've been we talked about it on the

599
00:41:07.840 --> 00:41:10.000
<v Speaker 6>last show. I was on kind of doing this full

600
00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.880
<v Speaker 6>time for about seven years, and so I've enjoyed all

601
00:41:12.920 --> 00:41:17.960
<v Speaker 6>of those seven years. But doing this project has been yeah,

602
00:41:18.000 --> 00:41:20.840
<v Speaker 6>and yeah, it's just felt right the whole time. It

603
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.199
<v Speaker 6>really feels kind of correct. It feels like, yeah, like

604
00:41:23.280 --> 00:41:26.519
<v Speaker 6>a like a passion project. And so it's been hard work.

605
00:41:26.639 --> 00:41:29.360
<v Speaker 2>But what the worssons you took from these shows? Then

606
00:41:30.079 --> 00:41:30.880
<v Speaker 2>how long do you have.

607
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:36.880
<v Speaker 6>Because let me tell you, yeah, very much for myself

608
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:40.119
<v Speaker 6>mostly yeah, so much, so much.

609
00:41:40.159 --> 00:41:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I think I've really.

610
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:45.920
<v Speaker 6>I've found you know, some really kind of like nuts

611
00:41:45.960 --> 00:41:47.880
<v Speaker 6>and box stuff like just kind of finding out how

612
00:41:47.960 --> 00:41:51.199
<v Speaker 6>to kind of get the most out of out of

613
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:56.920
<v Speaker 6>a day without kind of draining myself. But also just

614
00:41:57.840 --> 00:42:01.920
<v Speaker 6>one of my friends, incredible drag Queen Astrosenica, said to me,

615
00:42:03.079 --> 00:42:06.559
<v Speaker 6>follow the fun. Follow the fun. And the times when

616
00:42:06.599 --> 00:42:10.119
<v Speaker 6>this has been a bit confusing or a bit overwhelming,

617
00:42:10.320 --> 00:42:14.480
<v Speaker 6>which like you know, definitely has been, I've just leant

618
00:42:14.559 --> 00:42:16.400
<v Speaker 6>into that, and in doing that, I've been able to

619
00:42:16.559 --> 00:42:18.280
<v Speaker 6>you know, fall back into rhythm and get, you know,

620
00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:20.800
<v Speaker 6>to the place that I want to go. So yeah,

621
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:22.440
<v Speaker 6>I think that's been the biggest lesson.

622
00:42:22.960 --> 00:42:24.760
<v Speaker 2>And when you follow the fun, where's that going to

623
00:42:24.800 --> 00:42:25.440
<v Speaker 2>take you? Next?

624
00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:29.480
<v Speaker 6>Hopefully to the top of a mountain, let's see, let's see,

625
00:42:29.840 --> 00:42:34.119
<v Speaker 6>you know, next, to to just spending more time writing

626
00:42:34.199 --> 00:42:37.039
<v Speaker 6>the show, to kind of like really just disappearing into

627
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:40.599
<v Speaker 6>this world and seeing what I can kind of create

628
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:44.320
<v Speaker 6>and imagine and just yeah, having some more fun.

629
00:42:44.480 --> 00:42:45.599
<v Speaker 1>Why can we see the show next?

630
00:42:45.960 --> 00:42:48.440
<v Speaker 6>We're going to take some time to kind of have

631
00:42:48.559 --> 00:42:51.320
<v Speaker 6>a look at what we've done. So but I think

632
00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.360
<v Speaker 6>the next thing that people can do is just kind

633
00:42:53.400 --> 00:42:57.239
<v Speaker 6>of yet go and find the clips of the musical

634
