Live English Christmas eve-eve Lesson - Friday 23rd December 2016 - with guest co-host MR STEVE!!!

we wish you a Merry Christmas we wish you a Merry Christmas we wish you a merry Christmas

in two days time yeah well hello there hi everybody how are you today are you okay i

hope so are you happy I really really hope so welcome here we go it's Christmas Eve Eve

everyone thank you for joining me i know many of you out there will be very busy at the

moment preparing for your festive feasts and holiday celebrations but I am so happy to

see you here today just in case you don't know who i am in case you are thinking to

yourself there is this guy in the strange red hat I don't recognize him well my name

is mr. Duncan and i live in england and I teach English right here on youtube I have

been doing this for over 10 years i know most people say mr. Duncan we think you are lying

to is we don't believe you well i have been doing this for over 10 years it is true and

this year I celebrated my 10th anniversary so it's now official i have been here on YouTube

making these English lessons for over 10 years so here we go it is as I've already mentioned

Christmas Eve Eve the word Eve means just before so this is the eve of the eve because

tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then the day after that of course it's Christmas Day will

you be celebrating Christmas now I do realize that not everyone celebrates Christmas i am

aware of this so before anyone says hear me to Duncan not everyone in the world celebrate

Christmas i do understand and i am aware of that situation okay but nevertheless I welcome

everyone everyone is welcome wherever you happen to be watching in the world and today

I'm not alone i have someone with me all will be revealed a little bit later on so it is

just a couple of days before Christmas including today so tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then

it is Christmas Day things are very dramatic here in the UK at the moment because there

are there are storms heading this way I'm not joking there are actual storms heading

this way at this very moment as I speak to you right here live there are storms coming

across the UK so i hope i hope the house will still be here because apparently there are

gale-force twins gale-force winds coming our way with what the Weathermen have called and

of course where the ladies have called storm Barbara it's not a very threatening name is

it really Barbara I don't know why I used to our lady called Barbra many years ago when

I worked on a voluntary radio station way back in the nineteen eighties I used to know

a lady in fact I used to produce her program on the radio station and she was a lovely

lady her name is barber and she was so nice so storm Barbara to me isn't very threatening

because my memories of of a person called Barbra are all lovely and sparkly just like

my tinsel do you like my tinsel the only problem with tinsel is it's very itchy so I'm wearing

it at the moment around my neck but i have a feeling that in fact i think i might take

it off now okay here we go so this is my tinsel but the prob with tensile is it makes your

neck bitch if you put it against your skin would you like my Tim self would you like

it maybe you can hang it up somewhere in your house would you like my tensile no okay maybe

later on there do you like my jumper by the way do you think it looks very Christmasy

it has lots of nice festive colors can you see my jumper it's very Christmasy today this

is no ordinary jumper because this jumper was purchased for me and given to me by mr.

Steve's mother no less so that is where this jumper has come from and of course i'm wearing

my Santa hat as i promised last week a few people did criticize me they said Mr Duncan

it's not fair it's coming up to Christmas and you're still not wearing your Santa hat

where is it well here it is now today because it is Christmas Eve Eve it's the day before

Christmas Eve which is of course the day before Christmas I hope you're writing all this down

because I will be asking questions later in fact I will be asking questions later we have

a mystery object today to show you how mr. Duncan the mystery object is back we are so

pleased yes i have a mystery object I have something in my hand down here I'm holding

it very tightly and i will be getting it out for you and I will be waving it around feat

look at on camera probably just said that mr. Duncan have you been drinking I have not

drink any alcohol today but I did have a very strong cup of coffee so that might be the

reason why anything could happen today if this is your first time here please can i

assure you that this is not my normal lesson this is something a little special today because

of course it's Christmas Eve e right let's have a look at some of the things that have

come my way over the past few days let's have a look shall we will first of all a happy

memory from my childhood I did show you this picture last week but i think it's such a

lovely photograph this is a memory of one of my Christmases from the past and this is

me aged six years old many many years ago many many many years ago in fact so here I

am age six but the reason why I'm showing you this picture is because it is a picture

taken during one of our Christmas festive celebrations at home with me and my family

my sisters and also my uncles and aunties and cousins we all used to cram into our lovely

little house and we would celebrate Christmas together and I always remember one thing my

granddad would always drink slightly too much beer but he did manage to stay conscious all

the way through and of course we always son lots of songs as well as the Sun lots of Christmas

songs as well to to help the festivities move along so there I am way back in time in the

early nineteen seventies and can you see I'm I'm actually standing in front of some curtains

just like I do now i have had some lovely things sent to me thank you very much to Abu

Omar or Abdul oma should i say who has sent me this lovely little greeting card on one

side can you see there is a jolly old man and on the other side it's Santa Claus so

there is a wonderful picture of me combined standing next to Santa Claus with a couple

of little white rabbits and a little teddy bear as well dressed as father Christmas just

in case you are wondering where Santa Claus originated from a little bit later on I will

be telling you all about it oh wow we are getting very educational today thank you also

to telecine ever seen who has sent me a lovely short email and allison says hello mr. Duncan

all over the world you are not just teaching English but also passing down ways of living

but with strong and fabulous ways of teaching so through my teaching you like me that's

very nice to hear an I'm always very pleased to hear people who actually liked me because

there are one or two people who say mr. Duncan bday where they really liked you very much

amongst yourselves thank you very much so we have a special guest today a special guest

co-host on the show this is something I've never done before in the history of my life

English although in the past i have had a co-presenter on my recorded english lessons

units i think maybe now you are thinking I think I know who it is also the thumbnail

for this live broadcast kind of gives away the secret as well so i suppose it's not a

very well kept secret but today's special guest is not just a human being on the planet

he is also an act or he is FS peon no i said if SPN that means an actor a person who acts

on the stage ladies and gentlemen please pray silence it is a great pleasure for me to introduce

to you live across the world wide web ladies and gentlemen boys and girls little furry

animals with wide eyes I give you mr. Steve yeah there he is lucky that looking very very

festive there look at him he's sitting there in his little grotto this is mr. Steve's grotto

in the corner of my studio I have managed to squeeze mr. Steve in yes you have hello

and hello mr. Duncan so how are you today ok well thank you yes this is a very new experience

for me you invited me to be your co-host today no doubt to introduce a bit of youth and vigor

to the show uh-huh sure about that well I must congratulate you on your 10 years of

teaching English to the world i'm going to say you probably you are looking a bit tired

ten years is a long time so you need somebody to help you out and that's why I'm here today

I'm joking of course so you're here to give me support mr. Duncan is fully capable of

carrying on for another 10 years if not longer i'm not sure i'm just working that out in

my head I'm just I'm just working that out that that it in 10 years time in ten years

time i will be in my early sixties so i'm not sure about that if i'll be carrying on

10 years from now let's join us together shall we shall we shall we through the magic of

video let's let's be together at the same time that's better right Wow look at that

look exactly i can see that i'm in case sir the viewers aren't sure where I am at the

other end of the studio to where mr. Duncan is but I can see him which is why i keep looking

this way that's it I'm miles away i'm about it's like an aircraft hangar in here I'm a

long way away but i can see you still mr. steve is where I normally put the empty beer

bottles so I've had to move all of the empty beer bottles out of the way so mr. Steve can

sit in the corner if its cold I've seen it happen if you might running around there were

there with the actually talking of mice there was some mice in the house last night I was

lying in bed I was I was I couldn't get to sleep last night i was turning and I was tossing

I couldn't stop turning in tossing last night I just couldn't stop it and and then I realized

why there was a there was a little scratching noise above the bed and it was a mouse and

having mouse a mouse a Christmas mouse i think it's a Christmas mouse that has come in to

to get shelter from from storm Barbara I would like say these are my normal clothes mr. Duncan

gave these to me to put on today is obviously i don't normally go around with a santa hat

on and tinsel my team does not it to me because I i I've managed to put it around the back

so it's not in direct contact with my skin you sound a bit cleverer than my skin is so

sensitive you see that so sensitive it is very sensitive to shop shiny things right

that's why now you are going to be doing something special today during today's live broadcast

can you briefly explain what you're going to do in fact before we do that let's have

a little look we're going to have a little clue as to what you are going to do today

so let's have a little look shall we this is this is mr. Steve doing what he does best

and what is that what what is it you do mr. Steve what is it you'd like to do sleeping

this besides besides my spare time I I'd like to perform in Alberta dramatics so that's

what I'd like to do everyone's got a hobby that's what I do and I do like to do that

very much and I think you've got a few photos have you I think you told me earlier that

you found some photos of me in a in a show for many years i have i have a few photographs

mr. Steve some something i'm not going to show today I'm not sure that I want you to

put these pictures of what the these are pictures i can show without your door being kicked

in and we don't want that not on Christmas tree here again this is mr. Steve onstage

performing and their use look there is mr. Steve can you tell us a little bit about this

picture i think you can see it so i wanted the right so you're the one you're the one

and on in the Hat yes and that is a show called a christmas carol and we're going to be that's

that's adapted from Charles Dickens famous book and we're going to be reading excerpts

from that throughout your show today that's it that's what we're doing which is why you've

asked me to do because obviously i have played the role of mr. Scrooge that which I and came

very naturally to me and don't forget hit you with a star you were the star inn in that

particular show why don't like to brag that other people to say not for me it's okay sometimes

being sometimes lot hiding your light under a bushel it's a great expression that in English

if you hide your light under a bushel it means you you you are too modest you can be too

modest I think it is possible in this world to be too too modest and and to Humble in

my opinion so now and again it does no harm now and again blowing your own trumpet modest

different and shy that's me know your own trumpet that's a great recipe you haven't

a chance that's great that's right that's right that's what we're going to be in Sullivan

is a is a reference yes it's another show i was in many years ago ready go gilbert and

sullivan and that was it can you tell me about some of the other shows you're being in why

they write killed himself and shows yes old-time music hall type shows good old-fashioned these

days but I do Rockets it's fun bit of fun so which shows of you don't I read Igor pirates

of penzance you name it all the ones by Gilbert and Sullivan had done them all because i was

a member of a society we did those shows I think he's written about 10 or 12 of them

and we're going back to the eighteen seventies know how eighteen eighties a very old productions

but amateur societies like to perform because they're not performed very often on the professional

civil so gilbert and sullivan it's it it's a little bit I suppose here in this country

some people do still no Gilbert and Sullivan and but of course that there is one piece

particular famous group of people who tend to perform Gilbert and Sullivan to this very

day yes yes the door Lee cart company well i don't think that actually going anymore

but they used to perform these shows professionally year after year for all many years but things

are good if they sort of not so popular now these types of old-style Music Hall type theater

isn't as popular as it used to be so it tends to be just before and by the amateur clubs

that keeps us all going ok I didn't realize that either i actually thought in my in my

strange ignorance that d'oyly carte was still going so even they don't do it anymore so

now I think they do the occasional revival performance but they don't perform regularly

anymore so gilbert and sullivan you can look at the razor operators that's become their

proper name you can look that up later on the internet Gilbert and Sullivan lots of

shows that they wrote that they were kind of operas but also that they were one of the

early the early purveyors of of satire yes so it is well known that Gilbert and Sullivan

with one of the earliest satirist so they used to satirize royalty and politics and

this is going back we're talking a couple of him nearly 250 and Jack's yes eighteen

seventies eighties and nineties through Institute through into the yes they've been going labor

and wrote popular musicals operators for many years it sort of classical music but not as

high classical and opera so some people are a bit snobbish about Gilbert and Sullivan

it's not to everyone's taste but i like it but I also do you know bang up-to-date shows

like that the one I'm doing presently which are might refer to later on no I say that

sounds like you want to sort of promote it i might do not that too many people are going

to fly over to see that wonderful i'm not sure if anyone is going to fly over from VA

ma'am no to miss your show and very sorry about that I don't do it the annie get your

gun you see that's bang up-to-date and that's what i like to do and it goes from about 1890

through to about 1970 19 nothing about nineteen sixties and you get you can that's the latest

show and you probably know a lot of these old shows and that's a gang and I that 1i

was dude last year of course but enough about me how he going on about me because I'm sure

that the views are getting a bit bored with that bit of background bit of background i'm

not sure about the viewers not sure about the viewers getting bored with it have we

got any we still got any we have we have fortunately very fortunately we still have yours if you

just joined us by the way in your thinking you might be I don't know having a stroke

or something you're not don't worry this is mr. Duncan's live English and I have a special

guest today mr. Steve joining me because of course today is Christmas Eve Eve it is the

day before Christmas Eve and of course I'm here every single friday but i digress now

another show that you did you've already mentioned was a christmas carol let's just have a look

at the photos so here we are this is you looking very grumpy because of course Scrooge is that

the word I'm looking for is a comedian that's a great word isn't a comedian yes he's a grumpy

he's a grumpy old man and he's grumpy because he made some poor decisions in his early life

and Barry has to live with it and the way he comes with it is to be miserable to everybody

he meets outer but as the story goes he eventually reforms and becomes a lovely friendly caring

and we're going to read excerpts from that Charles Dickens novel adapted for film later

on well i'll be going to do that now we're going to that later the later on it later

on is another clip another excerpt another little photos still from mr. Steve on stage

here here we are who were you with their that looks like a very grand character he looks

like Santa Claus of it i think that's one of the ghosts that appear to to scare screws

and try and get into changes ways from being a grumpy old man into somebody who loves people

and is much more outgoing and friendly towards mankind trying to give him a second chance

of three ghosts down there and I think that's can't remember which is that the ghost of

Christmas future i can't i can't quite see the screen because I'm you know the other

end of the studio here i think i think this is yes it is the Christmas future he showing

what will happen in the future yes if he doesn't reform is why is how miserable he is going

to become here's another picture this is you with now this is going to be one of the pieces

that you're going to read a little bit later on so i won't give too much away but let's

just say this is a very dramatic moment that occurs in the story when when one of one of

Scrooge's ghosts from his past appears so we'll have another look at that later we'll

look at some more photographs and mr. Steve don't worry we won't forget about mr. Steve

because he is sitting very patiently in the corner of the studio in a few moments we will

open the live chat so not only mr. Steve here today but also you will have a chance to join

in as well we are already 35 minutes has already gone can't can you believe that in our 30

35 minutes is gone already I don't know its back on then i'm going to keep looking at

screen up yes our 35 minutes been fun so far got to say I'm falling asleep yet now earlier

earlier you were teasing me earlier because you said that you had very large balls now

I wasn't sure what you were talking about to be honest so so good for the audience and

also for myself can you please show is show is your your your balls job of course I'm

there we go my large christmas balls do you like them they are very large that a bit blue

that we had the cold yes we're gonna bring them together up have you got any i've got

i got some balls here but to hang them on the tree minor very small oh dear what happened

dodo 10 my balls are very tightly it's not fair i'm gonna hang these on on your tree

later and i believe is that you've made it from ism I don't think so i'm just gonna hang

on your tree later he's got a funny mind at times is that's why I'm here be nice and helpful

good here alone all the time in this studio is sending him a bit you know around the bend

and allowed to to make sure what is either that or the call the doctors in well but there's

a there's a a glowing review their must-haves my current mental state thank you very much

for that mrs. D so we're going to read a little bit from the Christmas Carol now this is the

opening isn't it oh yes this is the opening and what it sort of describing screwed reason

I think what he's like as a character and give us a gives it flavor of the of the of

the book are you ready to go then I didn't ready for you I've got my piece of paper here

that you printed out for me earlier is not how can i love that I love the way you explaining

every technical detail it is very very new to me I'm not used to being on camera is it

is new because you're used to being on the stage acting not not in a studio like this

yes projecting on this day 1 i've shown you my spare time that's right you're still doing

it you doing more than some people well let's let's get you one look the camera i'm going

i will leave it to mr. Steve who will introduce a christmas carol and today we are just reading

some excerpts not the whole story just exercise yes and this is describing Ebenezer Scrooge

to describe Ebenezer Scrooge as mean would be to say the least a gross understatement

Scrooge's what you might call a miser a tight-fisted businessman who does not take kindly to parting

with his money a gentle- Liz frugally and prefers to keep himself to himself since his

long-term business partner Jacob Marley had died screws preferred to work alone well that's

not entirely true he had helped in the shape of Bob Cratchit who worked for Scrooge as

a Clark Cratchit is a humble family man and devoted husband and father of five children

the youngest of whom is Timothy or as he is more commonly known Tiny Tim sadly little

Timothy is a sickly child who has to walk using a crutch more often than not Tiny Tim

can be seen carried around high up on his devoted father's shoulder there we go isn't

that a little introduction at that didn't bring a tear to my eye of course for those

who aren't familiar with the story something-something little sad happens later on in the story so

it's not a completely happy story is it a christmas carol know it's a it's sad scary

and parts with you got ghost in there of course as well but it all ends happening would you

say that it's a moralistic story yes it is kind of a moralistic story it's trying to

to say that you shouldn't be mean-spirited and you should be nice to people and treat

people really the way that you would like them to be how you would like to be treated

yourself that's really the moral of the story I think otherwise if you don't you're going

to be pretty miserable because we all need to interact with our fellow human beings families

friends things that otherwise it can get a bit miserable definitely we need to be outgoing

and talking to people don't we do so a little bit later on you're going to read a little

bit more from a Christmas that would be my pleasure that's lovely now in a moment we're

going to do something very special cause because we're going to open the live chat live chat

can I get involved in that too thing yes of course I'm sure that there are people out

there now waiting they are impatiently typing and waiting to click on the comment button

because of course the live chat isn't open yet but before then we have we have something

to show you we have storm Barbara I've got I've got a satellite era a star satellite

picture coming through now so let me just add this because this is like this is live

of course so here we go let's let's get storm Barbara upon the screen here it is this is

a this is a photograph look at that just to say that this is all live there it is storm

barber everyone sweeping in so that's what sweeping and across the country at the moment

can you see all that green that green is is wind and rain and and all of those arrows

that that that shows just how fast and strong the wind is that storm barber everyone that's

if you've ever wondered what a storm Barbara looks like that's what it looks like there

it is I bet you're glad I showed you that are well i'm just wondering whether are still

have a roof on your studio by the time the this is over this is happening at this moment

outside the wind is blowing the trees are swaying the leaves are being scattered everywhere

not that we can see out what we've seen is going on we can certainly hear it and my laburnum

is very bent yes we can hear we're going to happen ranganatha as one I think do you think

so no snow for Christmas just wind and rain ok yes because it's going to be very mild

as well can you believe it the weather the weather forecast for christmas day apparently

he's gonna be 14 degrees yes that's what the tellers I mean that more like sort of sep

tember yes all or even early spring yeah yeah the bulbs are coming up already yeah I've

noticed yesterday we looked in the garden yesterday we noticed that the flowers the

spring flowers are coming up at the moment and it's not even winter hasn't even finished

at the girls that are already coming up the daffodils I don't know it's all compare daffodils

fair daffodils it is our reference at that my song is it everything I references from

solid but you're going to be referencing like that all day today possibly possibly ok let's

open the live chat shall we is that a good idea got yes of course I'll be bitterly disappointed

never want to ask me a question actually just storm off in a huff if you have a question

mr. Steve anything you've always wanted to ask mr. Steve you have him right now he is

tied to the chair what you can't see is below the camera his legs are tied together and

he's actually strapped in not strapped on strapped in I can't get out of a yes so shall

we open the live chat just in case you're waiting eagerly to speak to us today because

of course we have a special guest in the studio also coming a little bit later we have the

mystery object I have something in my hand I will show it to mr. Steve can you see it

mr. Steve there it is i can season is right disturbing i can tell here yes it's not very

big though is it strange colors from that is an odd shapes and colors or we revealed

late i will show it to you a little bit later on but right now we have more pressing things

more important things to deal with because we have that I've chat everyone so much at

sorry live chat I'm very looking forward to this because I've seen you doing it before

but I've never actually experienced myself I thought there was an echo in the Rubin it

just be worried i am a long way away this is like an aircraft hangar in the error i

can see you like adopt at the other end of the studio and so I'm not sure whether it

went when i'm on camera when i'm not actually quite disturbing just assume you're all the

time up just just take it that you're always on camera why should I be looking and the

lens you know there are times in my life where I wish we had rehearsed more this is one of

them and this is definitely one of the most those moments where I wish I wish deeply that

i had rehearsed slightly normal right live chat time anything could happen now so hold

onto your underpants keep your legs crossed we're flying by the seat of our pants we literally

have that afraid you've ever described flying by the seat of your pants what does it mean

mr. Steve but i think it's what it means that you're sort of only just managing to pull

it off what you're doing which you're doing this shareware we're flying but just about

getting off the ground hopefully wouldn't notice i think that's what that means is negative

we just sort of getting buy if you fly by the seat of your pants it means you do something

with very little preparation or clue as to what you're going to do next so it in other

words you're doing it without knowing what will happen next you are flying by the seat

of your pants it's a great expression while somehow trying to maintain the illusion that

you are doing it ok we have some comments coming through already on the live shot i'm

gonna sit up you feel me not to swim around in the chair it's very difficult not to that

I i did tell mr. Steve not to swivel because he just has this habit of long link told me

not to do it again and also it's hard not to talk over me when I'm talking but clearly

these these these hits hits were completely ignored I'm getting into it now you certainly

huh three-point is here hello 23 punt you are the first person on the live chat hello

from mr. Steve and mr. Duncan was going to say mr. Duncan misty you come first it's either

nothing we missed evo or or you call it should give up you get top billing if I go silent

for more than 20 seconds that means i want you to speech okay right I have never do this

again welcome to to one of the strangest moments in my life ever where am broadcasting live

with mr. Steve at the other end of my studio special guest today and and already I'm regretting

it deeply so three punked is here and i might just fall on the floor in hysterics mr. steve

is a professional actor says not repent not professional sadly just an amateur perform

you never know you're still young that's true i'm saying younger than you you go back a

long way toward you I I certainly did I might go back there in a minute as i said i'm here

to inject a bit of youth and vigor into the show you going to share is that there is that

the right phrase to use youth and vigor can you deliver either of those things are not

quite sure Triple H's here everyone hi mr. Duncan and mr. Steve what a pleasant surprise

even though the thumbnail kind of gave it away because we are both on the foot thumbnail

for the live broadcast so I I did kind of give the secret away really and Sonic is here

and sonic says you're late and I run a lot to stay here I not down a few pedestrians

with my car oh hang on a second order ok and Sonic that will go any further with that law

sir chris show' said says hi mr. Duncan I like your jumper this jumper came from mr.

Steve's mother yes mr. Steve's mother she felt sorry for him because it out of any clothes

and said here is an old jumper of my son's you can have it it's brand-new is there when

your mother bought it for me within the sale it wasn't ok ok it was forty percent off yes

forty percent that's not about saving is it No but it's still a nice gift from your mother

so thank you very much too mr steves mum. yes mum i haven't got anything she hasn't

i'm gonna like chocolate and crisps I've never come across a battery operated Christmas pudding

but there you go it cooks itself law losa chricho says hi mr. Duncan I like your jumper

i was going to say I like your t-shirt but then I heard you saying jumper yes this is

a jumper or of course you can call this sweater a sweater a sweater or jumper some people

called call these jerseys as well but i don't think that's right that's incorrect if you

call this a jersey it's actually a sweater or a jumper after two hours of me being here

will definitely sweating in that jumper trust me I'm sweating already in places where I've

never sweated in my life who I didn't think my toenails and my fingernails could actually

sweat but they are carvo hung is here watching in i think in Vietnam hello mr. Duncan and

mr. Steve I can see the word and Noel on the floor you are right yes just behind me let's

go for the wide shot yes on the floor behind me well spotted it says can you see down there

it says and 0 e l of course Noel is an alternate word for Christmas and today it's a special

day because it is Christmas Eve Eve it's mr. Duncan here in England with mr. Steve joining

in right let's have our first word puzzle shall we have a word puzzle coming up here

it is it's very quick one so I'm not going to hold it up for you for very long I will

wave it around a little bit and then i'm going to put it back down here so here we go today's

word jumble two more seconds gone what is today's first word puzzle if you think you

know what it is please let me know on the live chat meanwhile back in the corner duct-taped

to the chair it is mr. Steve who is joining me here today how are you feeling are you

enjoying this yeah fifty-fifty that I am enjoying it really that you don't sound too sure now

well I've got my chance to do today is I'm not work so and i'm not doing anything that

could have been doing some Christmas shopping i suppose but you invited me here and as your

friend I felt compelled to accept you know one of the worst things you can say to someone

is is I had nothing better to do yes never say that never say that it's the worst thing

you can do if you go to someone's party and they say thank you for coming to my party

today and you reply with its ok i had nothing better to do that's an insult but it's between

I could we know each other a bit of a joke doesn't matter you can say that as a joke

can't you to somebody I can say that to you hopefully you're going to carry on talk is

a point where you want me to carry on talking i'm not sure what point that was up i found

a site that was a silent pause there was a silent pause hi mr. Duncan Lucy varela is

here hi Lucy thank you for joining me what I just said hi Lucy put your studio you said

it while I was talking I ok I'll zip it it's like being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show here

because she does the same thing have you ever noticed on Ellen she was talks over guests

she asks her guests a question and they start to answer and then she starts rabbiting over

the top of them she is the star and so am I so shattered our you want just that shot

it at all man if it means to shatter it shatter it just shut your math as they say in London

and people like it when i use my cockney accent allo allo I am I my name's mr. Duncan and

I come from land and so shot it yeah shut your math did you enjoy that mr. do you have

your well I wasn't sure whether you're talking to me or not I wasn't talking to you or anyone

it was just an example of a colloquial phrase that sometimes used when you want someone

to shut their cake whole lot sir Creek show is here it is very cold here today but it

is sunny not like yesterday well at the moment here in the UK we have storm Barbara yes storm

of Los where storm Barbara gone there it is this storm Barbara coming our way and nice

name but not a very nice storm i used to know someone called Barbra many years again their

fiery characters Barbara's it's a kind of it is a name have you noticed how some names

seem to summer person's character so like Barbara no i don't i don't think Barbara's

a bad name i think it's a sort of soft and friendly name because because of course you

can you can shorten it to Babs Babs so instead of barbri you can say Babs as Poquette you

think Barbara's are there they will tend to be sort of quite lively and characters wasn't

your landlady called barber yes I had a landlady many years ago she was quite a lively character

and that's my only reference ready but now Bobby interesting story is that actress in

the carry on films barbara was her name Barbara you do realize we gotta know explain 50 years

of cinema here in the UK to talk about what carrion is an actress a well-known actress

a very bubbly personality her name is Barbara Barbara there we go that's two examples of

women with the name Barbara who are quite fiery and live in their character who's the

other one I don't have a third one no you Barbara bein about Barbara bein out where

that came from wasn't she in space 1999 1999 yes what she was an actress that they better

be lively so that's three Barbara's I can't think about I can't think of a Barbara who

is sort of lackluster and i'm not very lively so I think that's why they've given the storm

the name Barbara if you've just joined us today welcome to how many people named Barbara

can you name it's a fiery name i think it's appropriate ok but they do say that sometimes

a person's names like me I think I I'm a dunkin I think I looked like a dunkin I don't know

why I think my name suits me but but is it do you become like your name that that that's

what i'm wondering today but because because a person's name sometimes reflects quite well

or it sort of seems very suitable for their character so I think Duncan is a good name

for me I think Duncan suits me i am I have a kind of Duncan what did the the Duncans

what are they didn't live with somebody historically do with a king duncan or something like that

i'm like Beth way when William Shakespeare and he was killed well Stephen of course from

the Bible was a martyr so I think being here today is martyrdom enough i think i'm living

up to my name as well pack it show a martyr to the cause we'll see back to the live chat

how we perello says hi mr. Duncan from Cuba cuba of course Cuba very much in the news

because relations between Cuba and the United States are asked kind of warming up we will

see if that continues in 2017 when President Trump gets into power we will see what happens

there lost sir Creek show i think i've read that one out already let's move on with a

live chat because we have now hundreds of messages and we've only read out about five

we might be here till mini-map me yet we might actually be here till christmas day at this

rate Triple H mr. Duncan are you friends with mr. Steve sometimes but this isn't one of

those moments triple H is not a battery I'm not sure is it out a triple-a triple-a triple-a

sorry now i don't want to offend anyone are you tell me not to offend anyone well so far

you've only offended about 20 people so we are doing well aged we're doing well frisky

frisky is here I've never have knowing I've never come across that name before frisky

frisky is here I don't think Vietnamese heart I don't know what that's in reference to King

because I always watch your life lessons I always watch them later on because of my school

OIC so today you are not at school you are having the day off look at you that's nice

Lucy says it's a pleasure to see mr. Steve but you seemed so shy but I'm I'm strapped

to a chair mr. steve is not a shy person he likes to come across as a shy person this

is this is his demeanor in public but really you told me to tone it down for today not

to upstage you so I'm just keeping it all hello i I really love the way you keep referencing

all the things that we don't normally talk about it's like going on stage and saying

there's a man around the back pulling ropes there is a man around the back pulling ropes

to make to make everything look right to you the audience so i did i do love the way you're

referencing everything that I told you just before we went up something that's really

i also told you to make sure that you had a we have you had a way yes you did you have

a wii before you came into the studio good yes so we don't have to we don't have to let

you go for a few minutes while you go for why not go because I'm strapped down you are

strapped down yes well that's the reason why i asked because I don't want any wet patches

on my carpet please could have given me a bucket there's still time there's still time

for me to give you a bucket I might put it over your head Carver hung I can't hear anything

that might be that might be your problem that might be your problem hello who I definitely

heard that Alexander 33 mango that's a great name says Merry Christmas thank you very much

the word jumble is oh IC frisky frisk may have got it right might have got it right

huh chopan family via believer says buzz phrase that the puzzle the puzzle although i think

yes you've got it right as well well done Lucy varela says you are so cruel and bad

with mr. steve i'm not i treat everyone's in such a lovely way are you are you saying

the time the body trees deserve badly have to be on here and then just how that's acting

i acting baby the jew in law is here he says I prefer RP so could you mr. Steve speak RP

what does that mean that means received pronunciation like the Queen ders hello my name is Queen

Elizabeth and I have a little bit of a cold at the moment which accurate because I could

speak like that as well well I suppose I could speak like that is where typically English

we all speak like that in England it is true that everyone in the UK talks like the Queen

of England oh hello it's so nice of you to invite me very nice DEA on the share would

you like some some skills with cream cup of tea vicar cargo hung says mr. Duncan where

is mr. Lomax mr. Lomax has gone to find Santa Claus is going to find him he's gone on a

long distance expedition dual-axis thermals he has got his long johns on in his extra

layer of underwear mr. Duncan how are you today says Osama riads I'm okay not too bad

it's Christmas Eve and we welcome everyone whether you celebrate Christmas or not it

doesn't matter because we welcome everyone here everyone is welcome definitely i am vietnam

in Vietnam and it's very hot here it's very hot in Vietnam I believe it is yes it's quite

warm here at the moment it doesn't feel like winter it all gmb or CMD 71 says hello mr.

Steve are you British I am indeed very British i was born in London actually I'm a Londoner

although i didn't stay there for long i think my parents left London when I was only about

nine months all right don't really remember much about it you know for a moment there

I thought he was going to say they left London and left me behind that they'd abandoned you

on our next to the river thames I think they probably wish they had later but they left

you by the Thames but but unfortunately you're a good swimmer even as a baby even as a baby

frisky frisk I don't think Vietnam is hot there seems to be some strange debate going

on here about whether or not Vietnam is hot i can tell you one thing its its point warm

here in the UK because it's very unseasonable warmth apparently on christmas day it's going

to be 14 degrees t-shirts and shorts i believe will be the order of the day mr. Duncan Abdullah

oma Abdel over is here hi mr. Duncan happy christmas and say hi to mr. Steve Abdullah

says hi to you mr. Steve I have girl can say i can say hi to you directly because i'm here

in the studio hi live is it possible to ask for grammatical questions in the live chat

well you can ask it if you want it doesn't necessarily mean we will answer it today shall

upon them now livre says the phrase again is yes you've got it right I don't know what's

happening today in the live chat it keeps repeating itself it's not me honestly I think

it's youtube I think I think all the people at YouTube have been drinking too much alcohol

and my life chat is gone a little bit beserk mr. Duncan where is mr. Lomax again this is

very strange i seem to be getting the same questions coming over again and again Pedro

Estrada Estrada says I need some help i have been living in leeds for one year huh I can

see why you need help I'm Spanish can you tell me what is the typical food in Yorkshire

thank you and merry christma whole Oh Pedro i think in Yorkshire they they eat a lot of

vegetables and meat and sausages I think sausages a very popular in Yorkshire what do you think

mr. steve Novak Yorkshire pudding yes there is a putting named after yorkshire and normally

it's a putting that served with meat and vegetables so yes you're right yorkshire puddings behind

a batter it's a kind of batter but don't overcook them if you overbake yorkshire puddings they

get very crispy around the edges but they do you can't have that there's nothing worse

than it and then a Yorkshire pudding this too crispy around the edges mr. Steve channel

please the sweetest voice ever says carlos Morris says mr. hey girls Thank You mr. Stevens

voice apparently is the sweetest ever or i can talk in a very rough way if you want me

to haha are now that's either a Cornish man or a pirate I think it's bit of both a bit

of both freely so it's misty's either doing an impression of a of a Cornish man from Cornwall

like this who are who are a Cornish man i'm from Devon I am and I go on the ships and

do all the sailing and the fishing that something like that anyway that well now that's definitely

not well that the good thing about being in Shropshire is we are very long way from the

Cornish coast so if anyone from Cornwall wants to come up here and beat us up they've got

a very long way to go a very long way to go and we could upset the farmers of course please

don't upset the farmers are I had I had some trouble a few weeks ago with a farmer yes

when I was walking through the field and this this farmer's wife came up to meet this farmer's

wife came up and she shouted and screamed at me about what I was doing walking through

the field and what were you doing you were filming I wasn't only public footpath a lesson

for your viewers but I wasn't filming I was carrying my camera i was walking along a public

footpath might legally nothing wrong with that you see so then yes I was I was scolded

i was told off the the farmer's wife came up to me and said excuse me could you please

tell me what what exactly you are doing yea i meant to ask you how much I've been paid

today for this mr. Duncan is mr. Steve your brother asks Jason just fix mr. steve is not

my brother he comes from another part of the gene pool of humanity fortunately people as

you often say we're like brothers although i just realized you completely ignored my

question that just came on before then I don't why i said with how much my being paid today

mr. Duncan it's good to see you again says car lil I'll Sultan thank you very much Carl

for joining us today tatiana Mac greetings from Moscow merry christmas is it snowing

at the moment in Moscow because i know at this time of the year in Russia it snows a

lot better looks lovely i'm very jealous if you have snow at the moment I'm very jealous

because we have no snow it looks as if we're going to get no snow and you know why because

because of this woman store Barbara storm barber at the moment is flying across the

UK so because of storm Barbara we have no snow and it's very mild here at the moment

mr. Steve would you like would you like to read another part of a Christmas Carol by

Charles Dickens I would indeed actually talking us know on the way here today it did that

were small flakes of snow falling I'm not joking i saw them out of the window only just

for a brief few minutes there was a little bit of snow falling on your butt house here

on the drive in fact so maybe we will get some snow after all was it snowing on your

house though yes it was so your house it was snowing in my house it was snowing as well

they're not very much it not enough it was just a small little specks it's quite a coincidence

and we want lots of snow because it we're not going to get that unfortunately so another

of the snow we have more important things to talk about now we have the next part we

are reading some excerpts today from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol mr. Steve ready

when you are ok this is carrying on the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and before the three ghosts

appear his former employee Jacob Marley appears in ghostly form that Scrooge has come home

from work he spends all his time of work he's his house is cold the fire is the coals are

on the fire is eating some warm soup and there's a few candles lit around the room is very

dark and then he is this all for sound of rustling and rattling of chains and then this

ghostly form appears before minutes his former employee and he says do you not recognize

me in life I was your partner Jacob Marley I don't believe you said Scrooge you might

be an undigested bit of beef or an underdone potato there's more of gravy than the grave

about you these words anger Molly so much that he roars with rage making the whole room

shake i believe all I believe scream Scrooge and Marley's ghost spoke again my greed has

forced me to wear these chains whatever your Scrooge have a chance to escape this fate

tonight you will be visited by three ghosts the first one arrived as the clock strikes

one well that was very waiting for the clock to strike one that was amazing i was there

and i was i was actually already time to recover from my performance was amazing up the White

House Thank You mr. Steve for that very dramatic i didn't know what we're going to get proper

acting today I'm all I'm all all of the quiver now that that Santa hat you will have to ring

that Santa out it will be it will be this so wet with with misters diamonds are going

to visit the Steve's toil oh I more hot now I'm living up i'm getting into it now good

we've been here now can you believe we've been doing this now for an hour and 10 minutes

already where has the time gone its concept of Franken so we had a word puzzle this was

the word puzzle there it is oh no i can't i can't see that from here I gotta go would

you like to have a go mr. Steele there it is there's the word puzzle I think Chris not

know i'll let you reveal it a little review there is the word puzzle i will now give you

the answer to this particular killer word puzzle would you like the answer now the answer

is married career move it is that was today's word puzzle just to make sure that we are

right about it there it is there it is merry christmas merry christmas because of course

in two days because today of course is Christmas Eve Eve it's the eve of christmas eve in a

couple of days time it will be Christmas Day so if you are celebrating christmas i hope

you have a super-duper time talking of Christmas mr. Steve yes talking of Christmas where I

have some christmas cards here now these these are Christmas cards that have been sent to

both of us ok now i was i was talking to you earlier about these christmas cards and hours

i was asking you who do you think got the most Christmas cards who do you think got

the most Christmas cards there they are so many of them so did I get more Christmas cards

or did mr. Steve get more Christmas cards so which one of us do you think got the most

Christmas cards that coming a little bit later on also i haven't shown anyone yet the mystery

object we have a mystery object here to show you would you like to have a look at my other

than the mystery object must show show everyone the mystery object so let's let's get it out

now here it is today is mystery object carrying my neck to have a look are you intrigued it's

very odd i have to be very careful because there is writing on the sunlight that tells

you what it has so that that wouldn't be much of a mystery object would it really show Jim

away if I showed you a description of what is in that very very silly really but as you

can see it's a piece of cardboard that has been folded into a triangle yeah but what

does this do what does it do it serves a purpose but what is the purpose what is it are you

going to give more clues night Iran absolutely no more clues that's all you're getting I'm

very sorry about somebody however it's on well back to the live chat because there are

people waiting to talk to as believe it or not i think there might also be an ambulance

outside with a couple of people in white coats waiting to take us away let's get back to

the live chat if i can find is it vanished long t half long asks why does yorkshire tea

tastes so good i have no idea maybe maybe it's it's the way they treat the leaves or

maybe the amount of time you leave it in the pot or is it the water some people say the

water i think the water is very crucial for making a good cup of tea you have to have

very clean fresh water it can't be it can't be hard water or or anything that's got got

contamination or is contaminated it anyway it must be clean fresh pure water if you want

to make yourself a nice cup of tea straight up the Yorkshire hills mr. Steve and mr. Duncan

are here says Linda you are we are right well done this week by the way I went to the opticians

do you know what an optician is an optician is a person who looks after your eyes because

over the past few weeks I have been complaining right here on my life chat that my eyesight

seems to be getting worse especially for reading for reading so I went to the opticians and

they tested by eyes and can you believe it they have told me that I have to have a pair

of reading glasses at your age that's what they said it really cheered me up i must admit

i was feeling very happy and cheerful during the week i was very excited about about this

life lesson today because of course christmas is just around the corner I guess what I went

to the opticians and this lovely young girl tested by eyes and she said yeah I think you

need reading glasses it's your age no one likes to hear that a lot of people are saying

that to me at the moment I went to the doctors early this year and he said the same thing

that always your age very disconcerting it really killed my bose god I don't need glasses

yet him to young back to the live chat everyone the mystery

object is an exhibition or performance invitation that comes from Mercedes to art that's a good

guess but unfortunately well in fact it's not a good guess because it's incorrect if

it was a good guess it would be correct so now I'm sorry that's a terrible guess it's

the worst guess I've ever heard there we go so there it is what is this object i'm looking

through at the moment can I think you're gonna have to give one or two clues ok here is here

is a clip that in in the packet there are many of them so you need to use lots of these

not just one you need to use many of them that's today's mystery object what the you

think it is mr. Steve that's me do you remember a few years ago quite possibly not but do

you remember when we went to London to see Shirley Bassey in concert do you remember

she was recording a TV show for the BBC and we went down to London to see Shirley passing

factory room but and do you remember what happened that night someplace that when we

missed the last train back and we couldn't get back to where we were staying so your

carry-on and we we missed the train and we have to find somewhere to to stay because

i think the last train back was about 11 13 we got there too soon too late miss the train

and had to stay in this rather grubby hotel don't know I wouldn't even call it a hotel

really it was a very very grubby place to stay it wasn't a hotel it was a slum a slum

it was it was it was it was called and I'm trying to remember the name i think it was

Ken's guesthouse and it's just across the road from Euston station in london i don't

i don't know if it's there still this is many years is going about going back about 15 years

maybe 15 or maybe 20 years but we were in London and we got stuck in London we went

to see Shirley Bassey and we're so excited because we went to see Shirley Bassey and

and we we came out we got to the railway station and we were too late we missed the last train

back and we we were stuck in London and so we stayed in this terrible terrible place

my question is have you ever been stranded somewhere have you ever been somewhere and

and ended up being stranded or stuck there so it happened to us once we got stuck in

London and it's not the best place in the world to find yourself stranded it might sound

like an exciting adventure but it isn't it wasn't we stayed at this terrible terrible

tiny little hotel hotel not in it wasn't a hotel that's why I'm using the the air quotations

it wasn't a hotel it was terrible it was like all disgusting whatever they changed the sheets

from the from from the day night before ever was staying there and i'm not sure about the

night before I mean I think maybe the year before it was disgusting you're bringing back

horrible horrible memories horrible memories is like being at the psychiatrist being with

you was bad enough having to stay in that awful hotel was even worse FY FY back to live

chat is that a sample for a shop to choose the color of boards or kitchen cabinets it

is not I'm afraid very ready although I was funny always think they actually we're looking

at it from here yeah this is it does not like it does look like a sample maybe well I thought

I thought you might need jumper know right i was gonna let you jump all the colors on

your what color do you want to hear your car or your kitchen cabinet am I dreaming this

oh I thought that's what your view of with it is this actually happening what is this

if you think you know what it is please let me know you need lots of them and you use

them at home hey would you put them I can think of a couple of places i'd like to put

them in the moment where would you put those are you going to tell people later and yer

martello now I'm never going to tell me what the answer is ever because that's how spiteful

out now I'm anyway you put them in the house i think that would be a good clue oh yes no

I'm not gonna give too many clothes away because because you know what my viewers i'm talking

about you out there you're just too smart for me though smart for me no comment mr.

Duncan i also need reading glasses says Angier matala always see also needs reading glasses

and yes me too i was told this week by my optician that I am now officially old lovely

i thought i needed glasses as well but thankfully the bits of paper you've given to me I've

got in very large print so i can read them very easily so do you think your eyesight

is going mr. Steve it definitely is not as good as it was 10 years ago when I was in

my twenties also your mathematics isn't very good is it a postcard is it a postcard asks

mahmood let me know it's not a postcard I'm I'm sorry about that we are all in the same

boat mr. Duncan i think that is from emory wadi I think amber what he is talking about

getting old as well yes dear very nice is it I've missed quite a few of the chat let's

go back a bit mr. Duncan the object is an invitation card for mr. Lomax says Lucy thank

you for not reading my message says Michael well i just read it so i did read it a bit

of a paradox there i've created how are you today the staffer Lonnie I'm okay not too

bad it's two days before Christmas it's Christmas Eve Eve today so it's not Christmas Eve it's

the day before Christmas Eve which is Christmas Eve can you keep going back and saying three

forward to getting can you say Christmas Eve EV can you can't keep going back to many days

or can you any Christmas Eve almost maybe on generate the first you could say it's Christmas

Eve but then say Eve 363 time yes actually could do that you like my quick maths there

it was very good even though it's still it's still incorrect it would actually be Christmas

day I don't do that gone astray mr. Duncan is a postcard I'm afraid it isn't now that

thing is a miniature house is it really I'm not sure look a bit like a miniature house

but who would live in a house like this David it's over to you now that that was a completely

useless reference no one will know what that was referring to as so balanced iso ballad

in if I speak with abbreviations like hbd which means happy bath day is that truth all

the time hbd we don't normally speak abbreviations abbreviations are normally used in text or

when we are writing something so it's unusual it's very rare for us to actually say an abbreviation

because with if we're speaking it's just as fast say it so you don't normally say b RB

you don't say brb which means be right back so it's just as quick to say be right back

BRB be right back it takes exactly the same amount of time to say it so normally abbreviations

are used in text or when we are typing or writing a gay Carlos Morris says it's Christmas

Eve squared nice dramatical mathematical indeed Judy g do gnomes live there you mean in here

no I think even even for noms this would be too too small and I gnomes are much larger

than this maybe a couple of fairies could live in here maybe two Affairs I think you

would squeeze a couple of fair is in here family alone a row is it a Christmas tree

prototype no it isn't everybody's everybody's confused today I think I've got you stumped

I've stumped everyone today yes might need another clue later Abascar asks how long have

you and mr. Steve known each other oh my goodness i'm going to guess that we've known each other

for longer than many of you have been alive that's all I'm saying it's a very very long

time mr. Duncan are you going to say i love you so much and I like your videos and say

hello to mr. Steve a large sherry and say hello directly to me Harry is this mr. Steve

saying hello live is life can be let's have let's have a flash word shall we for those

who aren't sure what a flash word is i will hold a word for you and let you have a look

mr. Steve can have a rest as lean back as we come back to me so mr. steve is now going

to have a well-deserved rest for a few moments here is today's Flash word are you ready for

a flash word a flash word on Christmas Eve Eve did you like my song there don't steal

it it's my copyright the word is excerpt excerpt we've actually used this word already today

talking about mr. Steve reading a christmas carol the word excerpt is an English noun

and verb the word excerpt is as a noun means and extract or part of a film broadcast or

piece of music music or writing a short section of something that is shown or played or read

aloud is an excerpt mr. Steve will read some excerpts of a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens

he will he will do that a little later as a verb the word excerpt means to take or extract

one or more parts of something written to excerpts something is to take a piece of text

from a larger work the word excerpt comes from the Latin word for pluck out plug out

so there it is excerpt mr. Steve will be reading another excerpt from a christmas carol a little

bit later on but first of all I need a drink do you like my bottle of water look at that

my bottle of water has some lovely shiny tinsel on it to help us celebrate the Christmas festivities

and mr. Steve as well is doing the same thing oh on-camera mr. Steve's also i haven't already

has never been done before on the internet i put vodka in mine so we're going to have

a drink at the same time ready? you can't wait can you see it's very eager he must be

very thirsty so after three we'll have a drink together cheers mr. Steve and cheers to your

this doesn't look particularly festive but cheers but at least mine does. cheers mr.

Steve let's have a little swig of water it's definitely water no mine is pure vodka it's

and the habit he had of giving presents secretly gave rise to the traditional model of Santa

Claus did you know that mr. steve i know well now you do that now I do so I didn't know

that's where Santa Claus comes from for many many many years ago from the 4th century I've

known a long time ago very long time ago I didn't even I didn't know that I knew a little

about it but now we are all informed mr. Duncan could you please take your glasses off for

excerpt from Charles Dickens A Christmas Carol and this is where the first ghost appeared

before Scrooge a combination of fear and tiredness overwhelmed Scrooge so he made his way to

bed kind in and went to sleep but not along the church bells struck one Scrooge awoke

with a start then into the bedroom came the first spirit a white glowing apparition that

seemed to float on air the spirit spoke hello I know you said Scrooge hush now and let me

speak i am the ghost of Christmas past come let me show you your earlier life walk with

me here with those words came a flash and there it was a scene from Scrooge's childhood

Scrooge's father was being taken away by a jailer he was going to prison the father called

out to the young scrooge don't make the same mistake of me hard work and save your money

this was a very painful site and it was the last time you ever saw his father alive the

story of a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens is on my youtube channel you can see the whole

story read out by me all the way through i also do a little bit of acting but of course

my acting is not as good as mr. Stevens I'm afraid I'm very sorry about that already we

have people in the live chat saying mr. Duncan Santa Claus comes to visit the North Pole

well of course the journey man the journey man is real Santa Claus is real of course

he comes from the North Pole on his sledge every year little sleigh with his reindeer

delivering gift of course of course it real I didn't say he wasn't real mr. steve is so

cute according to Triple H IC ok thank you I think maybe triple h need glasses I was

also asked here always to steal you come back as mr. Stevens have how it was very tempting

to leave mr. Steve actual together there but you know very tempting kinga 1400 says how

Santa Claus sink Nicholas was from Turkey there we go and I knew this was going to happen

I knew I knew as soon as i mentioned that i knew this was going to happen i knew a lot

of people going to tell someone said also that that think Nicholas Santa Clauses from

Finland but of course christmas time is is is a very strange time of year because christmas

is kind of kind of a combination of lots of festivals and events all coming together at

the same time the christmas is a very interesting time of the year because we always think of

it is one thing but in fact Christmas involves a lot of different festivals and celebrations

in different countries around the world isn't that strange hello mr. d'Ancona you are the

i have the same problem with my are use as you do mr. Duncan I'm very sorry to hear that

says Lena Thank You Lena so that thank you for your sympathy and I'm glad that you and

I are in the same boat we share the same problem we are both in the same boat mr. Steve I'm

reward he is asking your questions to Steve and he's asking you a question would you like

the question i will certainly love to have a question I will answer them I can okay then

here's the question mr. Steve's what was the highlight of your year and that comes from

emory body are well that's easy thank you for that question the highlight of my year

was I was in the king and i and i always want to have in the King and I before which is

a show and I think mr. don't have mentioned this before and I was playing the part of

the king I've always wanted to do this took me about six months we work on these shows

for that six months before we put them on and I that was the highlight of my year of

well that was of course until I've come on mr. Duncan show to doing which now of course

has to be the highlight of my year after the king and i so that second is obviously numero

you know number one highlight of my year i'm going to write in my diary later so that we're

going on to the question is does answer the question I think you want it very well that

very well yes yes very well strong strong our says maybe Santa Claus Irish perhaps who

knows who knows merry Christmas to mr. Steve best wishes from Lena who is in Russia saying

hello to mr. stinky Lena happy Christmas to you too here's a good question for both of

us light energy and huge ship brass drops asks mr. Duncan and mr. Steve what are your

new year's resolutions mr. Steve you can go world why I haven't thought about that yet

because normally we make new year's resolutions and then they get quickly forgotten about

within a matter of days that i would say my new year's resolution is going to be to stay

calm when i'm driving on the roads and not to let the room road uses annoy me into losing

my temper because that and mr. Duncan here can test designed to this he's been in the

car with me when i get very angry when other road users are cut me up and do all sorts

of things and orange but I've got to stay calm because it's dangerous and that's my

new year's resolution i think that can add years to my life but your you've been in the

car with me and I've lost my temper you you are vicious difficulty there is a strange

paradox with with mr. steven is driving very strange paradox and and the fact is that mr.

steve is a very good driver this is the strange part of it mr. steve is probably the best

driver i know you you because when you're young you took the front driving test you

have been driving for many years and and I i always feel very safe when I'm in the car

with mr. Steve I never feel worried even though sometimes you you you might you might put

your foot down now and again go a little little too quickly sometimes for my liking but I

still I still feel quite safe in the car with you but the thing is you do tend mr. Steve

I hope you don't mind me saying this you do tend to lose your temper sometimes with the

other motorists i do I think we all do course you don't drive so because of you used to

drive a motor bike didn't you to ride a motorbike many years ago I used to ride a motorbike

until I realized that the roads here in the UK are so dangerous yes that's my new year's

resolution to stay calm on the road because i want to arrive at my destination calm and

safe and alive and alive and insulin system i've had wanted two incidents i can tell you

over could have gone very wrong so yes what about You mr. Duncan what's your new year's

resolution i have many I always make a list of resolutions before the end of the year

next year there are several things i want to do I want to travel abroad hopefully next

year that's one of my resolutions to get on a plane and travel to another country I don't

know where in the world it will be I'm sure you out there we'll make some suggestions

but i would love to go away somewhere next year and also to carry on making my english

lessons of course to do that to to continue with my work and of course the carry on with

these live streams as well don't forget you can catch me lies every single friday at two

p.m. UK time that's why i am here today this is the time that I normally hear every single

week because you'll ask me on again mr. Duncan I don't know it but it's not a case of me

asking you it's whether you want to actually come on again oh I can't like to write enjoyed

it today it's not about what we still have we still have a little bit of time to go we

are now 15 minutes away from the end we might actually go at it over the two hours today

because of course it's special day it's Christmas ease what are you doing if you celebrate Christmas

or enjoying the festive period what will you be doing apparently strong strong and says

in Vietnam the Vietnam traffic is the worst you should go to China because in China the

traffic is terrible i lived in China for years and i can say definitely that the roads in

China of very very dangerous many people on the road in China don't even have licenses

they drive cars without ever taking a test all have licenses what they sometimes do not

always they sometimes drive the officials to get the license and also the test the past

for the test they just pay money so they get into the car without ever having a a driving

lesson or test in their life and then they're on the road in their car and this is one of

the reasons why there are so many accidents in China on the road I used to see accident

all time when I lived in China every day at least two or three accidents Claus smashing

into each other that was because day you can't crossing the road in the wrong place i wouldnít

you want my fault honestly nothing to do with me they saw mr. Duncan and they took their

eyes off the road and crashed there is no coincidence you get seeing all these accidents

i could tell you up okay we have some christmas cards here i'm going to see how many of these

christmas cards are for me and how many after mr. Steve there are lots here these are real

Christmas cards that have come in and I want to see how many of these christmas cards are

for me mr. Steve let's have a look right that's a start reading now first Christmas card going

to write this down every time you're saying my name I'm going to leave some for me to

steve from Caroline Caroline machines and I scandal I that has the Seas and mr. Simkins

this one doesn't count because it to the previous owner of this house so we can include that

one I'm afraid to little gift of time to the Steve never one to me yes another one little

moo-cow who's that to mr. Duncan to steve from from Viv's Merry Christmas that's a nice

car doesn't it look at that because i was some little robbins on the front that number

not sure the postman's that are you'll get one from me at least maybe the word puzzle

the word puzzle is still ongoing there it is do you know what this do you know what

it is if you think you know just because you have bigger balls than I let me just remind

your viewers the size of my christmas ball look at the size of mr steve's balls they

are huge they are still blue mine are tiny mine are tiny little tiny red one that's not

fair i'm very happy about today mr. steve is the special guest he certainly is he's

definitely the special guest today very special indeed I'm sorry marina carless I'm sorry

I have to leave I wish you the most happiest days Thank You marina marina is going bye

marina marina bye lovely card mr. Duncan old duong trong ann says lovely card yes but they're

all for mr Steve none of them for me how is this Christmas different from other years

for both of you well this Christmas in is very different because i haven't got any christmas

card from anyone but I got to last week mr. Steve has got loads and look at all the cards

these these cards are all for mr. Steve I'm afraid so there's still time as I said there's

still time to get the card i think even mr. Lomax has more cards than I have a huge pile

in in your room a huge pilet all addressed to mr. Lomax I I wonder what you're going

to say them he hasn't been able to open them yet because he's looking for Santa Claus mr.

Duncan I ignored the cards says Lucy all it's okay don't worry I'm not too upset at least

i have all of you out there to to wish me a Merry Christmas and that's all I want really

thats all i could ever wish for he means it he really does I do In India about seventy

percent of the driving licences are either fake or taken by giving bribes says saad so

very similar to China very similar mr. Steve do you have any pets no I don't have any pets

I used to have a pet a dog a springer spaniel named Toby with long floppy ears and he died

when i was about 22 so not that long ago really and I've never had another pet since because

it upset me so much because dogs and cats don't live very long and the thought of having

could grieve every along for dogs 10 11 years sometimes a bit I don't know I don't think

all dogs die at the same time I don't want with that you are can hear the wind outside

let's have another flash word because we are going soon we are going in a roundabout I

will stay with you we will stay for a little bit longer for about another 10 minutes ok

ok here is the final flash word for today are you ready are you ready here it comes

I do pivotal boot to do you can you believe it do today's final flash word is Nikki gritty

Mickey gritty will very interesting the word nitty-gritty is an English noun the word nitty-gritty

is an English noun that means the most important aspects or areas of something the most crucial

or key part of something such as a certain subject or complex task is the nitty-gritty

let's get down to the nitty-gritty of car maintenance during this course we will look

at the nitty-gritty as well as the less important aspects we often use the term nitty-gritty

when discussing the core of a subject the nitty-gritty is the basics the fundamentals

the tricks of the matter the details they are all the nitty-gritty there it is today's

final / word nitty-gritty ooh i hope you enjoyed today because we have been giving you the

nitty-gritty on the Christmas festivities that are coming very soon also outside of

the moment the wind and the rain is lashing the house we are being battered here in the

UK by by storm Barbara can you believe it so we want we are going in a little while

in a roundabout maybe seven or eight minutes so you have a little bit more time with us

but then we will have to go mr. Steve have you enjoyed today i have I haven't I have

enjoyed it today and do you want me to work talk about my one of my favorite film well

I was going to mention something that happens every Christmas now every Christmas here in

the UK and quite likely where you're as well normally around Christmastime lots of movies

are shown on TV and every year they show basically the same movies every single year now of course

there are lots of movies that that are to do with Christmas but there are also lots

of movies that are shown every Christmas that have nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever

so mr. steve i know for a fact that you are crazy about one particular movie can you can

you tell us what it is yes there's always you say they're quite often show lots of films

at Christmas and there was lots of old films that were made sort of in the seventies and

eighties or 60 is going back a long way but that's what I will show at Christmas that

really has nothing to do with Christmas the tool that I was I watching it's called Murder

on the Orient Express and that's an Agatha Christie novel adapted for film and that's

what it looks like don't do i need to move in upload your what to do you could you can

turn it the other way might be going to the other way back you mean by that I it's a murder

mystery set on the famous train the Orient Express and it it it feels very old-world

it's what I think it's probably set in the early last century of well over a hundred

years ago I would say and it's someone get murdered on a train and the detective on board

the train and it turned out that all the people on the train or many of them all be responsible

for this murder like it just it got lots of old actors and actresses in it of well seasoned

actors and actresses from the friendly from the heydays of filming in Hollywood and I

think it's always on a Christmas because it feels like a very old film set in bygone days

and of course they're stuck in snow there's lots of snow stuck somewhere in Europe Switzerland

for my life back and I can't get out of the snow is murder taking place anywhere i like

the film it's got lovely music to it as well so you guys you like the music i do to dad

today that dat their dad do that in a gesture we relive that sooo much so don't do too much

as the song because we might be slight for copyright I like okay you know so it's a copyright

and you could ever do a few seconds so who is in this film anyway oh right well i can't

remember any of the name i know that albert sidney Albert Finney is the star of the film

he plays the circu lamoreaux to say mr. Tackett Christie detective but but that that the thing

I find I find this movie very annoying i find Murder on the Orient Express quite annoying

because of the way in which albert finney acts i find it very distracting and of course

for half the time you can't understand what he's saying no you are that's it is lose for

executive you get I know you can't understand what he's saying but there is another Agatha

Christie novel that was set in a movie called death on the nile and in that one it was Peter

Ustinov off playing the part of Hercule Poirot yes I remember that one now I prefer i've

also used enough as my row but I think you the first thinny Albert Sidney is prayer is

that right well I don't mind either it's in this particular my like all the other actors

and I've got just looked on the back here you've got famous the Hollywood stars from

back in the sixties and seventies lauren bacall my house knocking all summer and martin balsam

is one of those actors are used to pop up in lots and lots of movies he always has played

very very heavy or authority figures Martin build some he always had a lot on his mind

and an amazing actor no longer Wizards that I don't think he's with his anymore no course

lauren bacall very famous for her role opposite i go Humphrey Bogart yeah yeah summer garden

inn I don't know go on it didn't get it was done in an airport the famous the same exact

thing ever i'm not good at remembering names play it again sham yet still don't know other

famous actors and actresses in this film Jacqueline that Jacqueline visit very all she in her

young years jacqueline bisset was very very gorgeous a lovely love the accent actress

Sean Connery all the famous for playing double-oh-seven like I tell you something I can't stand sean

connery in anything I i might be one of the few people on this planet that cannot stand

watching Sean Connery I hate him as James Bondy soap irritating i don't know why it

is so he should speaks like that hello I'm Sean Connery i have his strange speech impediment

and clocked in this deal good of course very famous John Gielgud of cloth to do I'm child

q good either bridges akhtar john gielgud is it is sadly no longer around either very

very amazing British actor janessa red gray within this of course vanessa how can we forget

Vanessa looking for mr. and Richard Widmark Richard Widmark again one of those creaky

character actors and their you had that he had a I was thought Richard Widmark Richard

Widmark had very similar features to kirk douglas yes that that typical sort of all-american

hero edge you're very very heavily heavily lying face yes hopefully Bogart he was the

murderer wouldn t says Carlos Carlos is just joining in here so that it's an endo has given

the answer of course the film that starred lauren bacall and Humphrey Bogart was just

a blank after blanker casablanca mr. sorry I knew that you knew that at no you didn't

you just said you didn't know I I you all along I was just pretending that doesn't make

any sense but this is a good film I like it anyway it's time for us to go just before

I just surely not even though we're gonna release me from my bombs definitely the quiz

the puzzle and also the mystery object nobody guessed is in fact i think one person one

person got this right just one person really system we did a long time ago but i but i

think i think mr. Steve was talking of this so there we go that was the puzzle the word

puzzle before i go there it is the word puzzle and of course the word puzzle is jingle bells

and mr. Steve and I will be singing a very short song but it won't be jingle bells because

that's on the copyright unfortunately but we will sing you a short christmas song in

a few moments before we go okay and the mystery object what was the mystery object will bring

mr. Steve back in so mr. Steve this is a very strange-looking object it's made of cardboard

I gave you a clue i said you use it around the house you put many of these around the

house but what is it used full what is it used for mr. Steve well you place it on the

corners of rooms down near the skirting board and it catches spiders because they crawl

inside it's a bit cruel it's not a nice way to end your christmas show they crawl inside

it's better the whole of the inside it's sticky and they get trapped him there and actually

end of them but his sliders call around the edge of the rooms they put it in a corner

somewhere and go in there so you don't like but they're very effective i can tell you

up with those down in my house and about a week later they must have been a bad dozen

side of chapter inside so very if you don't like spiders put those in your house so basically

you really effective you use this for catching spiders expire the goes inside and it sticks

to the bottom of this triangle so if you live in a country where you've got deadly spiders

which we unfortunately don't in the UK but if you live in a country with spiders that

could continue a bite you and kill you then put those in the house a little traveling

can decide to really kill you yes oh yes you are you having to hit you yeah are you telling

me if I went outside now a and found a spider and challenged him to a fight that has the

spider could kill me but it would bite you I said black widow spider example but loading

the in a matter captain they're probably not learning in tropical countries have a lot

of your viewers I've got spiders and they don't likely would like to bite them ok just

before we go do you have spiders that can kill you in your country because mr. steve

says there are spiders that can kill you yeah but even if I went outside my daughter now

in challenge despite into a fight in the garden out there right now while still Barbara is

lashing around i think i could just be sure I could just I could just step on it and squish

it that creep up on you when you're watching the television and they're gonna kill me literally

I don't know anywhere you don't want to end the show like that we want to end on a high

we are going to head and we are going to end on what might be described as a high i'm not

quite sure but before we go can we just say some special goodbyes to Aang algis viccus

merry Christmas to Duncan and mr. Steve merry christmas everybody congratulations mr. Duncan

after tomorrow it is Christmas Day and as you can see I have my tousle back i have put

my pencil back on even though it's it's really it's really itchy on my neck so here is my

stencil before we go we're going to sing you a little song and a very very short cracker

sorry not going to cracker you don't you're going to pull my cracker do you have a crack

there i didn't know why I have a cracker as well my tree i forgot about my crack can you

see over there my tree i have a little cracker on my tree look I don't go talking about looks

oh so you have a yours is green and my cracker is red normally we pull the use so two people

will pull them inside normally there is there's a little gift and normally a little paper

hat and i'm quite often a joke as well but sadly we don't have time to pull our crackers

i think we went we will pull them together on Christmas Day does that sound like a good

idea mr. Steve why not we will save them for Christmas Day and we will pull that we get

it now we will told them together that's the punchline by the way so let's end with a song
