317659
8900
05:26
just a couple of days before Christmas including today so tomorrow is Christmas Eve and then
19
326559
6170
05:32
it is Christmas Day things are very dramatic here in the UK at the moment because there
20
332729
7030
05:39
are there are storms heading this way I'm not joking there are actual storms heading
21
339759
5951
05:45
this way at this very moment as I speak to you right here live there are storms coming
22
345710
7250
05:52
across the UK so i hope i hope the house will still be here because apparently there are
23
352960
8359
06:01
gale-force twins gale-force winds coming our way with what the Weathermen have called and
24
361319
8320
06:09
of course where the ladies have called storm Barbara it's not a very threatening name is
25
369639
9911
06:19
it really Barbara I don't know why I used to our lady called Barbra many years ago when
26
379550
5390
06:24
I worked on a voluntary radio station way back in the nineteen eighties I used to know
27
384940
4949
06:29
a lady in fact I used to produce her program on the radio station and she was a lovely
28
389889
6661
06:36
lady her name is barber and she was so nice so storm Barbara to me isn't very threatening
29
396550
7839
06:44
because my memories of of a person called Barbra are all lovely and sparkly just like
30
404389
6930
06:51
my tinsel do you like my tinsel the only problem with tinsel is it's very itchy so I'm wearing
31
411319
8261
06:59
it at the moment around my neck but i have a feeling that in fact i think i might take
32
419580
4989
07:04
it off now okay here we go so this is my tinsel but the prob with tensile is it makes your
33
424569
5570
07:10
neck bitch if you put it against your skin would you like my Tim self would you like
34
430139
6161
07:16
it maybe you can hang it up somewhere in your house would you like my tensile no okay maybe
35
436300
5789
07:22
later on there do you like my jumper by the way do you think it looks very Christmasy
36
442089
5830
07:27
it has lots of nice festive colors can you see my jumper it's very Christmasy today this
37
447919
8030
07:35
is no ordinary jumper because this jumper was purchased for me and given to me by mr.
38
455949
7080
07:43
Steve's mother no less so that is where this jumper has come from and of course i'm wearing
39
463029
7890
07:50
my Santa hat as i promised last week a few people did criticize me they said Mr Duncan
40
470919
7750
07:58
it's not fair it's coming up to Christmas and you're still not wearing your Santa hat
41

picture i think you can see it so i wanted the right so you're the one you're the one
157
1318680
5320
22:04
and on in the Hat yes and that is a show called a christmas carol and we're going to be that's
158
1324000
10330
22:14
that's adapted from Charles Dickens famous book and we're going to be reading excerpts
159
1334330
8550
22:22
from that throughout your show today that's it that's what we're doing which is why you've
160
1342880
5760
22:28
asked me to do because obviously i have played the role of mr. Scrooge that which I and came
161
1348640
7160
22:35
very naturally to me and don't forget hit you with a star you were the star inn in that
162
1355800
6040
22:41
particular show why don't like to brag that other people to say not for me it's okay sometimes
163
1361840
6100
22:47
being sometimes lot hiding your light under a bushel it's a great expression that in English
164
1367940
6640
22:54
if you hide your light under a bushel it means you you you are too modest you can be too
165
1374580
5320
22:59
modest I think it is possible in this world to be too too modest and and to Humble in
166
1379900
8450
23:08
my opinion so now and again it does no harm now and again blowing your own trumpet modest
167
1388350
7790
23:16
different and shy that's me know your own trumpet that's a great recipe you haven't
168
1396140
6820
23:22
a chance that's great that's right that's right that's what we're going to be in Sullivan
169
1402960
5110
23:28
is a is a reference yes it's another show i was in many years ago ready go gilbert and
170
1408070
7030
23:35
sullivan and that was it can you tell me about some of the other shows you're being in why
171
1415100
4230
23:39
they write killed himself and shows yes old-time music hall type shows good old-fashioned these
172
1419330
6800
23:46
days but I do Rockets it's fun bit of fun so which shows of you don't I read Igor pirates
173
1426130
7620
23:53
of penzance you name it all the ones by Gilbert and Sullivan had done them all because i was
174
1433750
7400
24:01
a member of a society we did those shows I think he's written about 10 or 12 of them
175
1441150
7010
24:08
and we're going back to the eighteen seventies know how eighteen eighties a very old productions
176
1448160
6480
24:14
but amateur societies like to perform because they're not performed very often on the professional
177
1454640
6570
24:21
civil so gilbert and sullivan it's it it's a little bit I suppose here in this country
178
1461210
6770
24:27
some people do still no Gilbert and Sullivan and but of course that there is one piece
179
1467980
4761
24:32
particular famous group of people who tend to perform Gilbert and Sullivan to this very
180
1472741
7859
24:40
day yes yes the door Lee cart company well i don't think that actually going anymore
181
1480600
7300
24:47
but they used to perform these shows professionally year after year for all many years but things
182
1487900
6410
24:54
are good if they sort of not so popular now these types of old-style Music Hall type theater
183
1494310
9900
25:04
isn't as popular as it used to be so it tends to be just before and by the amateur clubs
184
1504210
4360
25:08
that keeps us all going ok I didn't realize that either i actually thought in my in my
185
1508570
5190
25:13
strange ignorance that d'oyly carte was still going so even they don't do it anymore so
186
1513760
5430
25:19
now I think they do the occasional revival performance but they don't perform regularly
187
1519190
6370
25:25
anymore so gilbert and sullivan you can look at the razor operators that's become their
188
1525560
5490
25:31
proper name you can look that up later on the internet Gilbert and Sullivan lots of
189
1531050
5330
25:36
shows that they wrote that they were kind of operas but also that they were one of the
190
1536380
6020
25:42
early the early purveyors of of satire yes so it is well known that Gilbert and Sullivan
191
1542400
6740
25:49
with one of the earliest satirist so they used to satirize royalty and politics and
192
1549140
7300
25:56
this is going back we're talking a couple of him nearly 250 and Jack's yes eighteen
193
1556440
6560
26:03
seventies eighties and nineties through Institute through into the yes they've been going labor
194
1563000
5290
26:08
and wrote popular musicals operators for many years it sort of classical music but not as
195
1568290
6210
26:14
high classical and opera so some people are a bit snobbish about Gilbert and Sullivan
196
1574500
7640
26:22
it's not to everyone's taste but i like it but I also do you know bang up-to-date shows
197
1582140
5090
26:27
like that the one I'm doing presently which are might refer to later on no I say that
198
1587230
6420
26:33
sounds like you want to sort of promote it i might do not that too many people are going
199
1593650
3730
26:37

210
1658350
4980

211
1663330
6890
27:50
day before Christmas Eve and of course I'm here every single friday but i digress now
212
1670220
8920
27:59

213
1679140
4230
28:03
at the photos so here we are this is you looking very grumpy because of course Scrooge is that
214
1683370
8510
28:11
the word I'm looking for is a comedian that's a great word isn't a comedian yes he's a grumpy
215
1691880
7560
28:19
he's a grumpy old man and he's grumpy because he made some poor decisions in his early life
216
1699440
7150
28:26
and Barry has to live with it and the way he comes with it is to be miserable to everybody
217
1706590
6430
28:33
he meets outer but as the story goes he eventually reforms and becomes a lovely friendly caring
218
1713020
11120
28:44
and we're going to read excerpts from that Charles Dickens novel adapted for film later
219
1724140
8250
28:52

221
1736820
6170
29:02
here here we are who were you with their that looks like a very grand character he looks
222
1742990
4410
29:07
like Santa Claus of it i think that's one of the ghosts that appear to to scare screws
223
1747400
7130
29:14
and try and get into changes ways from being a grumpy old man into somebody who loves people
224
1754530
8700
29:23
and is much more outgoing and friendly towards mankind trying to give him a second chance
225
1763230
7560
29:30
of three ghosts down there and I think that's can't remember which is that the ghost of
226
1770790
5630
29:36
Christmas future i can't i can't quite see the screen because I'm you know the other
227
1776420

228
1780730
4690
29:45
what will happen in the future yes if he doesn't reform is why is how miserable he is going

6180
29:56
that you're going to read a little bit later on so i won't give too much away but let's
231
1796440
4600
30:01

232
1801040
8700
30:09
Scrooge's ghosts from his past appears so we'll have another look at that later we'll

250
1928130
7090
32:15
a there's a a glowing review their must-haves my current mental state thank you very much
251
1935220
5420
32:20
for that mrs. D so we're going to read a little bit from the Christmas Carol now this is the
252
1940640
6070
32:26
opening isn't it oh yes this is the opening and what it sort of describing screwed reason
253
1946710
8290
32:35
I think what he's like as a character and give us a gives it flavor of the of the of
254
1955000
6980
32:41
the book are you ready to go then I didn't ready for you I've got my piece of paper here
255
1961980
5870
32:47
that you printed out for me earlier is not how can i love that I love the way you explaining
256
1967850
4040
32:51
every technical detail it is very very new to me I'm not used to being on camera is it
257
1971890
7500
32:59
is new because you're used to being on the stage acting not not in a studio like this
258
1979390
4900
33:04
yes projecting on this day 1 i've shown you my spare time that's right you're still doing
259
1984290
7350
33:11
it you doing more than some people well let's let's get you one look the camera i'm going
260
1991640
5650
33:17
i will leave it to mr. Steve who will introduce a christmas carol and today we are just reading
261
1997290
6900
33:24
some excerpts not the whole story just exercise yes and this is describing Ebenezer Scrooge
262
2004190
8000
33:32
to describe Ebenezer Scrooge as mean would be to say the least a gross understatement
263
2012190
8180
33:40
Scrooge's what you might call a miser a tight-fisted businessman who does not take kindly to parting
264
2020370
8340
33:48
with his money a gentle- Liz frugally and prefers to keep himself to himself since his
265
2028710
8950
33:57
long-term business partner Jacob Marley had died screws preferred to work alone well that's
266
2037660
9140
34:06
not entirely true he had helped in the shape of Bob Cratchit who worked for Scrooge as
267
2046800
7859
34:14
a Clark Cratchit is a humble family man and devoted husband and father of five children
268
2054659
9750
34:24
the youngest of whom is Timothy or as he is more commonly known Tiny Tim sadly little
269
2064409
10250
34:34
Timothy is a sickly child who has to walk using a crutch more often than not Tiny Tim
270
2074659
9000
34:43
can be seen carried around high up on his devoted father's shoulder there we go isn't
271
2083659
8911
34:52
that a little introduction at that didn't bring a tear to my eye of course for those
272
2092570
5930
34:58
who aren't familiar with the story something-something little sad happens later on in the story so
273
2098500
7740
35:06
it's not a completely happy story is it a christmas carol know it's a it's sad scary
274
2106240
5900
35:12
and parts with you got ghost in there of course as well but it all ends happening would you
275
2112140
5930
35:18
say that it's a moralistic story yes it is kind of a moralistic story it's trying to
276
2118070
8790
35:26
to say that you shouldn't be mean-spirited and you should be nice to people and treat
277
2126860
5710
35:32
people really the way that you would like them to be how you would like to be treated
278
2132570
4170
35:36
yourself that's really the moral of the story I think otherwise if you don't you're going
279
2136740
4980
35:41
to be pretty miserable because we all need to interact with our fellow human beings families
280
2141720
7530
35:49
friends things that otherwise it can get a bit miserable definitely we need to be outgoing
281
2149250
5050
35:54
and talking to people don't we do so a little bit later on you're going to read a little
282
2154300

320
2381780
5360
39:47
more important things to deal with because we have that I've chat everyone so much at
321
2387140
8920
39:56
sorry live chat I'm very looking forward to this because I've seen you doing it before
322
2396060
4120
40:00
but I've never actually experienced myself I thought there was an echo in the Rubin it
323
2400180
4250
40:04
just be worried i am a long way away this is like an aircraft hangar in the error i
324
2404430
5160
40:09
can see you like adopt at the other end of the studio and so I'm not sure whether it
325
2409590
5740
40:15
went when i'm on camera when i'm not actually quite disturbing just assume you're all the
326
2415330
4950
40:20
time up just just take it that you're always on camera why should I be looking and the
327
2420280
5440
40:25
lens you know there are times in my life where I wish we had rehearsed more this is one of
328
2425720
7640
40:33
them and this is definitely one of the most those moments where I wish I wish deeply that
329
2433360
6160
40:39
i had rehearsed slightly normal right live chat time anything could happen now so hold
330
2439520
7670
40:47
onto your underpants keep your legs crossed we're flying by the seat of our pants we literally
331
2447190
7080
40:54
have that afraid you've ever described flying by the seat of your pants what does it mean
332
2454270
4970
40:59
mr. Steve but i think it's what it means that you're sort of only just managing to pull
333
2459240
6500
41:05
it off what you're doing which you're doing this shareware we're flying but just about
334
2465740
5879
41:11
getting off the ground hopefully wouldn't notice i think that's what that means is negative
335
2471619
4541
41:16
we just sort of getting buy if you fly by the seat of your pants it means you do something
336
2476160
4930
41:21
with very little preparation or clue as to what you're going to do next so it in other
337
2481090
6810
41:27
words you're doing it without knowing what will happen next you are flying by the seat
338
2487900
4790
41:32
of your pants it's a great expression while somehow trying to maintain the illusion that
339
2492690
5220
41:37
you are doing it ok we have some comments coming through already on the live shot i'm
340
2497910
8330

341
2506240
6280
41:52
I i did tell mr. Steve not to swivel because he just has this habit of long link told me
342
2512520
4970
41:57

343
2517490

395

2921340
5840
48:47

402
2935430
9720
49:05
it while I was talking I ok I'll zip it it's like being on The Ellen DeGeneres Show here
403
2945150
8250
49:13
because she does the same thing have you ever noticed on Ellen she was talks over guests
404
2953400
4969
49:18
she asks her guests a question and they start to answer and then she starts rabbiting over
405
2958369
4431
49:22
the top of them she is the star and so am I so shattered our you want just that shot
406
2962800
9280
49:32
it at all man if it means to shatter it shatter it just shut your math as they say in London
407
2972080
9539
49:41
and people like it when i use my cockney accent allo allo I am I my name's mr. Duncan and
408
2981619
6531
49:48
I come from land and so shot it yeah shut your math did you enjoy that mr. do you have
409
2988150
10690
49:58
your well I wasn't sure whether you're talking to me or not I wasn't talking to you or anyone
410
2998840
4620
50:03
it was just an example of a colloquial phrase that sometimes used when you want someone
411
3003460
6080
50:09
to shut their cake whole lot sir Creek show is here it is very cold here today but it
412
3009540
8870
50:18
is sunny not like yesterday well at the moment here in the UK we have storm Barbara yes storm
413
3018410
8800
50:27
of Los where storm Barbara gone there it is this storm Barbara coming our way and nice
414
3027210
7260
50:34
name but not a very nice storm i used to know someone called Barbra many years again their
415
3034470
6250
50:40
fiery characters Barbara's it's a kind of it is a name have you noticed how some names
416
3040720
6350
50:47
seem to summer person's character so like Barbara no i don't i don't think Barbara's
417
3047070
6180
50:53
a bad name i think it's a sort of soft and friendly name because because of course you
418
3053250
5140
50:58
can you can shorten it to Babs Babs so instead of barbri you can say Babs as Poquette you
419
3058390
8010
51:06
think Barbara's are there they will tend to be sort of quite lively and characters wasn't
420
3066400
6370
51:12
your landlady called barber yes I had a landlady many years ago she was quite a lively character
421
3072770
7530
51:20
and that's my only reference ready but now Bobby interesting story is that actress in
422
3080300
7420
51:27
the carry on films barbara was her name Barbara you do realize we gotta know explain 50 years
423
3087720
6149
51:33
of cinema here in the UK to talk about what carrion is an actress a well-known actress
424
3093869
5111
51:38
a very bubbly personality her name is Barbara Barbara there we go that's two examples of
425
3098980
6240
51:45
women with the name Barbara who are quite fiery and live in their character who's the
426
3105220
5560
51:50
other one I don't have a third one no you Barbara bein about Barbara bein out where
427
3110780
5940
51:56
that came from wasn't she in space 1999 1999 yes what she was an actress that they better
428
3116720
5910
52:02
be lively so that's three Barbara's I can't think about I can't think of a Barbara who
429
3122630
5830
52:08
is sort of lackluster and i'm not very lively so I think that's why they've given the storm
430
3128460
5860
52:14
the name Barbara if you've just joined us today welcome to how many people named Barbara
431
3134320
6690
52:21
can you name it's a fiery name i think it's appropriate ok but they do say that sometimes
432
3141010
5540
52:26
a person's names like me I think I I'm a dunkin I think I looked like a dunkin I don't know
433
3146550
5920
52:32
why I think my name suits me but but is it do you become like your name that that that's
434
3152470
6760
52:39
what i'm wondering today but because because a person's name sometimes reflects quite well
435
3159230
5230
52:44
or it sort of seems very suitable for their character so I think Duncan is a good name
436
3164460
5020
52:49
for me I think Duncan suits me i am I have a kind of Duncan what did the the Duncans
437
3169480
6260
52:55
what are they didn't live with somebody historically do with a king duncan or something like that
438
3175740
4080
52:59
i'm like Beth way when William Shakespeare and he was killed well Stephen of course from
439
3179820
10730
53:10
the Bible was a martyr so I think being here today is martyrdom enough i think i'm living
440
3190550
10290
53:20
up to my name as well pack it show a martyr to the cause we'll see back to the live chat
441
3200840
9350
53:30
how we perello says hi mr. Duncan from Cuba cuba of course Cuba very much in the news
442
3210190
10130
53:40
because relations between Cuba and the United States are asked kind of warming up we will
443
3220320
5930
53:46
see if that continues in 2017 when President Trump gets into power we will see what happens
444
3226250
7920
53:54
there lost sir Creek show i think i've read that one out already let's move on with a
445
3234170

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

72:48
outside with a couple of people in white coats waiting to take us away let's get back to
604
4368449
5530
72:53
the live chat if i can find is it vanished long t half long asks why does yorkshire tea
605
4373979
11591
73:05
tastes so good i have no idea maybe maybe it's it's the way they treat the leaves or
606
4385570
6069
73:11
maybe the amount of time you leave it in the pot or is it the water some people say the
607
4391639
5330
73:16
water i think the water is very crucial for making a good cup of tea you have to have
608
4396969
4210
73:21
very clean fresh water it can't be it can't be hard water or or anything that's got got
609
4401179
7790
73:28
contamination or is contaminated it anyway it must be clean fresh pure water if you want
610
4408969
6871
73:35
to make yourself a nice cup of tea straight up the Yorkshire hills mr. Steve and mr. Duncan
611
4415840
7791
73:43
are here says Linda you are we are right well done this week by the way I went to the opticians
612
4423631
9298
73:52
do you know what an optician is an optician is a person who looks after your eyes because
613
4432929
6210
73:59
over the past few weeks I have been complaining right here on my life chat that my eyesight
614
4439139
7621
74:06
seems to be getting worse especially for reading for reading so I went to the opticians and
615
4446760
6459
74:13
they tested by eyes and can you believe it they have told me that I have to have a pair
616
4453219
5570
74:18
of reading glasses at your age that's what they said it really cheered me up i must admit
617
4458789
10140
74:28
i was feeling very happy and cheerful during the week i was very excited about about this
618
4468929
6161
74:35
life lesson today because of course christmas is just around the corner I guess what I went
619
4475090
5049
74:40
to the opticians and this lovely young girl tested by eyes and she said yeah I think you
620
4480139
7270
74:47
need reading glasses it's your age no one likes to hear that a lot of people are saying
621
4487409
8290
74:55
that to me at the moment I went to the doctors early this year and he said the same thing
622
4495699
5460
75:01
that always your age very disconcerting it really killed my bose god I don't need glasses
623
4501159
10150
75:11
yet him to young back to the live chat everyone the mystery
624
4511309
9370
75:20
object is an exhibition or performance invitation that comes from Mercedes to art that's a good
625
4520679
8331
75:29
guess but unfortunately well in fact it's not a good guess because it's incorrect if
626
4529010
5140
75:34
it was a good guess it would be correct so now I'm sorry that's a terrible guess it's
627
4534150
6860
75:41
the worst guess I've ever heard there we go so there it is what is this object i'm looking
628
4541010
6649
75:47
through at the moment can I think you're gonna have to give one or two clues ok here is here
629
4547659
5560
75:53
is a clip that in in the packet there are many of them so you need to use lots of these
630
4553219
8500
76:01
not just one you need to use many of them that's today's mystery object what the you
631
4561719
8581
76:10
think it is mr. Steve that's me do you remember a few years ago quite possibly not but do
632
4570300
11980
76:22
you remember when we went to London to see Shirley Bassey in concert do you remember
633
4582280
5540
76:27
she was recording a TV show for the BBC and we went down to London to see Shirley passing
634
4587820
5020
76:32
factory room but and do you remember what happened that night someplace that when we
635
4592840
7609
76:40
missed the last train back and we couldn't get back to where we were staying so your
636
4600449
11351
76:51
carry-on and we we missed the train and we have to find somewhere to to stay because
637
4611800
7109
76:58
i think the last train back was about 11 13 we got there too soon too late miss the train
638
4618909
6830
77:05
and had to stay in this rather grubby hotel don't know I wouldn't even call it a hotel
639
4625739
9000
77:14
really it was a very very grubby place to stay it wasn't a hotel it was a slum a slum
640
4634739
6630
77:21
it was it was it was it was called and I'm trying to remember the name i think it was
641
4641369
5000
77:26
Ken's guesthouse and it's just across the road from Euston station in london i don't
642
4646369
5370
77:31
i don't know if it's there still this is many years is going about going back about 15 years
643
4651739
5791
77:37
maybe 15 or maybe 20 years but we were in London and we got stuck in London we went
644
4657530
6339
77:43
to see Shirley Bassey and we're so excited because we went to see Shirley Bassey and
645
4663869
4641
77:48
and we we came out we got to the railway station and we were too late we missed the last train
646
4668510
4319
77:52
back and we we were stuck in London and so we stayed in this terrible terrible place
647
4672829
6861
77:59
my question is have you ever been stranded somewhere have you ever been somewhere and
648
4679690
6369
78:06
and ended up being stranded or stuck there so it happened to us once we got stuck in
649
4686059
6430
78:12
London and it's not the best place in the world to find yourself stranded it might sound
650
4692489
5311
78:17
like an exciting adventure but it isn't it wasn't we stayed at this terrible terrible
651
4697800
6790
78:24
tiny little hotel hotel not in it wasn't a hotel that's why I'm using the the air quotations
652
4704590
9369
78:33
it wasn't a hotel it was terrible it was like all disgusting whatever they changed the sheets
653
4713959
6921
78:40
from the from from the day night before ever was staying there and i'm not sure about the
654
4720880

655
4725599
4980
78:50
horrible horrible memories horrible memories is like being at the psychiatrist being with
656
4730579
4830
78:55

4735409
8491
79:03

4813550
3730

4821639
11170
80:32
Duncan i also need reading glasses says Angier matala always see also needs reading glasses
671
4832809
7460
80:40
and yes me too i was told this week by my optician that I am now officially old lovely
672
4840269
9200
80:49
i thought i needed glasses as well but thankfully the bits of paper you've given to me I've
673
4849469
4940
80:54
got in very large print so i can read them very easily so do you think your eyesight
674
4854409
6080
81:00
is going mr. Steve it definitely is not as good as it was 10 years ago when I was in
675
4860489
6111
81:06
my twenties also your mathematics isn't very good is it a postcard is it a postcard asks
676
4866600
10019
81:16
mahmood let me know it's not a postcard I'm I'm sorry about that we are all in the same
677
4876619
6810
81:23
boat mr. Duncan i think that is from emory wadi I think amber what he is talking about
678
4883429
5800
81:29
getting old as well yes dear very nice is it I've missed quite a few of the chat let's
679
4889229
6890
81:36
go back a bit mr. Duncan the object is an invitation card for mr. Lomax says Lucy thank
680
4896119
11840
81:47
you for not reading my message says Michael well i just read it so i did read it a bit
681
4907959
7681
81:55
of a paradox there i've created how are you today the staffer Lonnie I'm okay not too
682
4915640
6359
82:01
bad it's two days before Christmas it's Christmas Eve Eve today so it's not Christmas Eve it's
683
4921999
7801
82:09
the day before Christmas Eve which is Christmas Eve can you keep going back and saying three
684
4929800
7069
82:16
forward to getting can you say Christmas Eve EV can you can't keep going back to many days
685
4936869
6011
82:22
or can you any Christmas Eve almost maybe on generate the first you could say it's Christmas
686
4942880
5819
82:28
Eve but then say Eve 363 time yes actually could do that you like my quick maths there
687
4948699
9911
82:38
it was very good even though it's still it's still incorrect it would actually be Christmas
688
4958610
8579
82:47
day I don't do that gone astray mr. Duncan is a postcard I'm afraid it isn't now that
689
4967189
7321
82:54
thing is a miniature house is it really I'm not sure look a bit like a miniature house
690
4974510
9540
83:04
but who would live in a house like this David it's over to you now that that was a completely
691
4984050
10100
83:14
useless reference no one will know what that was referring to as so balanced iso ballad
692
4994150
7079
83:21
in if I speak with abbreviations like hbd which means happy bath day is that truth all
693
5001229
10361
83:31
the time hbd we don't normally speak abbreviations abbreviations are normally used in text or
694
5011590
10379
83:41
when we are writing something so it's unusual it's very rare for us to actually say an abbreviation
695
5021969
7791
83:49
because with if we're speaking it's just as fast say it so you don't normally say b RB
696
5029760
7779
83:57
you don't say brb which means be right back so it's just as quick to say be right back
697
5037539
8620
84:06
BRB be right back it takes exactly the same amount of time to say it so normally abbreviations
698
5046159
6511
84:12
are used in text or when we are typing or writing a gay Carlos Morris says it's Christmas
699
5052670
9299
84:21
Eve squared nice dramatical mathematical indeed Judy g do gnomes live there you mean in here
700
5061969
14101
84:36
no I think even even for noms this would be too too small and I gnomes are much larger
701
5076070
7419
84:43
than this maybe a couple of fairies could live in here maybe two Affairs I think you
702
5083489
4951
84:48
would squeeze a couple of fair is in here family alone a row is it a Christmas tree
703
5088440
7759
84:56
prototype no it isn't everybody's everybody's confused today I think I've got you stumped
704
5096199
6641
85:02
I've stumped everyone today yes might need another clue later Abascar asks how long have
705
5102840
8379
85:11
you and mr. Steve known each other oh my goodness i'm going to guess that we've known each other
706
5111219
7920
85:19
for longer than many of you have been alive that's all I'm saying it's a very very long
707
5119139
5511
85:24

85:39

711
5145570
5500
85:51
mr. Steve can have a rest as lean back as we come back to me so mr. steve is now going

7580
85:58

713
5158650
8839
86:07
a flash word a flash word on Christmas Eve Eve did you like my song there don't steal
714
5167489
8391
86:15
it it's my copyright the word is excerpt excerpt we've actually used this word already today
715
5175880
9279
86:25
talking about mr. Steve reading a christmas carol the word excerpt is an English noun
716
5185159
7480
86:32
and verb the word excerpt is as a noun means and extract or part of a film broadcast or
717
5192639
11661
86:44
piece of music music or writing a short section of something that is shown or played or read
718
5204300
7429
86:51
aloud is an excerpt mr. Steve will read some excerpts of a Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens
719
5211729
10321
87:02
he will he will do that a little later as a verb the word excerpt means to take or extract
720
5222050
9009
87:11
one or more parts of something written to excerpts something is to take a piece of text
721
5231059
7040
87:18
from a larger work the word excerpt comes from the Latin word for pluck out plug out
722
5238099
9560
87:27
so there it is excerpt mr. Steve will be reading another excerpt from a christmas carol a little

6016969
8121
100:25
emory body are well that's easy thank you for that question the highlight of my year
826
6025090
6619
100:31
was I was in the king and i and i always want to have in the King and I before which is
827
6031709
8841
100:40
a show and I think mr. don't have mentioned this before and I was playing the part of
828
6040550
6929
100:47
the king I've always wanted to do this took me about six months we work on these shows
829
6047479
7180
100:54
for that six months before we put them on and I that was the highlight of my year of
830
6054659
5460
101:00
well that was of course until I've come on mr. Duncan show to doing which now of course
831
6060119
6860
101:06
has to be the highlight of my year after the king and i so that second is obviously numero
832
6066979
8421
101:15
you know number one highlight of my year i'm going to write in my diary later so that we're
833
6075400
8980
101:24
going on to the question is does answer the question I think you want it very well that
834
6084380
3710
101:28
very well yes yes very well strong strong our says maybe Santa Claus Irish perhaps who
835
6088090
10099
101:38
knows who knows merry Christmas to mr. Steve best wishes from Lena who is in Russia saying
836
6098189
7421
101:45
hello to mr. stinky Lena happy Christmas to you too here's a good question for both of
837
6105610
6660
101:52
us light energy and huge ship brass drops asks mr. Duncan and mr. Steve what are your
838
6112270
13919
102:06
new year's resolutions mr. Steve you can go world why I haven't thought about that yet
839
6126189
7550
102:13
because normally we make new year's resolutions and then they get quickly forgotten about
840
6133739
5331
102:19
within a matter of days that i would say my new year's resolution is going to be to stay
841
6139070
7339
102:26
calm when i'm driving on the roads and not to let the room road uses annoy me into losing
842
6146409
9181
102:35
my temper because that and mr. Duncan here can test designed to this he's been in the
843
6155590
6399
102:41
car with me when i get very angry when other road users are cut me up and do all sorts
844
6161989
11021
102:53
of things and orange but I've got to stay calm because it's dangerous and that's my
845
6173010
5669
102:58
new year's resolution i think that can add years to my life but your you've been in the
846
6178679
7610
103:06
car with me and I've lost my temper you you are vicious difficulty there is a strange
847
6186289
6591
103:12
paradox with with mr. steven is driving very strange paradox and and the fact is that mr.
848
6192880
6549
103:19
steve is a very good driver this is the strange part of it mr. steve is probably the best
849
6199429
5820
103:25
driver i know you you because when you're young you took the front driving test you
850
6205249
5821
103:31
have been driving for many years and and I i always feel very safe when I'm in the car
851
6211070
5719
103:36
with mr. Steve I never feel worried even though sometimes you you you might you might put
852
6216789
6611
103:43
your foot down now and again go a little little too quickly sometimes for my liking but I
853
6223400
5509
103:48
still I still feel quite safe in the car with you but the thing is you do tend mr. Steve
854
6228909
7210
103:56
I hope you don't mind me saying this you do tend to lose your temper sometimes with the
855
6236119
4120
104:00
other motorists i do I think we all do course you don't drive so because of you used to
856
6240239
7010
104:07
drive a motor bike didn't you to ride a motorbike many years ago I used to ride a motorbike
857
6247249
5710
104:12
until I realized that the roads here in the UK are so dangerous yes that's my new year's
858
6252959
8470
104:21
resolution to stay calm on the road because i want to arrive at my destination calm and
859
6261429
6770
104:28
safe and alive and alive and insulin system i've had wanted two incidents i can tell you

5240
105:20

869
6328169
6841
105:35
week because you'll ask me on again mr. Duncan I don't know it but it's not a case of me
870
6335010
5540
105:40
asking you it's whether you want to actually come on again oh I can't like to write enjoyed
871
6340550
7609
105:48
it today it's not about what we still have we still have a little bit of time to go we
872
6348159
5451
105:53

873
6353610
8279
106:01
because of course it's special day it's Christmas ease what are you doing if you celebrate Christmas
874
6361889
7880
106:09
or enjoying the festive period what will you be doing apparently strong strong and says
875
6369769
9261
106:19
in Vietnam the Vietnam traffic is the worst you should go to China because in China the
876
6379030
8830
106:27
traffic is terrible i lived in China for years and i can say definitely that the roads in
877
6387860
8369
106:36
China of very very dangerous many people on the road in China don't even have licenses
878
6396229
7790
106:44
they drive cars without ever taking a test all have licenses what they sometimes do not
879
6404019
7190
106:51
always they sometimes drive the officials to get the license and also the test the past
880
6411209
7671
106:58
for the test they just pay money so they get into the car without ever having a a driving
881
6418880
6270
107:05
lesson or test in their life and then they're on the road in their car and this is one of
882
6425150
5839
107:10
the reasons why there are so many accidents in China on the road I used to see accident
883
6430989
5811
107:16
all time when I lived in China every day at least two or three accidents Claus smashing
884
6436800
9419
107:26
into each other that was because day you can't crossing the road in the wrong place i wouldnít
885
6446219
4720
107:30
you want my fault honestly nothing to do with me they saw mr. Duncan and they took their
886
6450939
6101
107:37
eyes off the road and crashed there is no coincidence you get seeing all these accidents

925
6827889
10610
113:58
when i was about 22 so not that long ago really and I've never had another pet since because
926
6838499
8011
114:06
it upset me so much because dogs and cats don't live very long and the thought of having
927
6846510
7030
114:13
could grieve every along for dogs 10 11 years sometimes a bit I don't know I don't think

971
7191380
6579
119:57
enjoyed it today and do you want me to work talk about my one of my favorite film well
972
7197959
8671
120:06
I was going to mention something that happens every Christmas now every Christmas here in
973
7206630
4650
120:11
the UK and quite likely where you're as well normally around Christmastime lots of movies
974
7211280
5140
120:16
are shown on TV and every year they show basically the same movies every single year now of course
975
7216420
8590
120:25
there are lots of movies that that are to do with Christmas but there are also lots
976
7225010
5549
120:30
of movies that are shown every Christmas that have nothing to do with Christmas whatsoever
977
7230559
6170
120:36
so mr. steve i know for a fact that you are crazy about one particular movie can you can
978
7236729
8500
120:45
you tell us what it is yes there's always you say they're quite often show lots of films
979
7245229
5321
120:50
at Christmas and there was lots of old films that were made sort of in the seventies and
980
7250550
5659
120:56
eighties or 60 is going back a long way but that's what I will show at Christmas that
981
7256209
6051
121:02
really has nothing to do with Christmas the tool that I was I watching it's called Murder
982
7262260
5060
121:07
on the Orient Express and that's an Agatha Christie novel adapted for film and that's
983
7267320
8089
121:15
what it looks like don't do i need to move in upload your what to do you could you can
984
7275409
6251
121:21
turn it the other way might be going to the other way back you mean by that I it's a murder
985
7281660
6370
121:28
mystery set on the famous train the Orient Express and it it it feels very old-world
986
7288030
8449
121:36
it's what I think it's probably set in the early last century of well over a hundred
987
7296479
6950
121:43
years ago I would say and it's someone get murdered on a train and the detective on board
988
7303429
7490
121:50
the train and it turned out that all the people on the train or many of them all be responsible
989
7310919
5770
121:56
for this murder like it just it got lots of old actors and actresses in it of well seasoned
990
7316689
7520
122:04
actors and actresses from the friendly from the heydays of filming in Hollywood and I
991
7324209
9751
122:13
think it's always on a Christmas because it feels like a very old film set in bygone days
992
7333960
7759
122:21
and of course they're stuck in snow there's lots of snow stuck somewhere in Europe Switzerland
993
7341719
5661
122:27
for my life back and I can't get out of the snow is murder taking place anywhere i like
994
7347380
4520
122:31
the film it's got lovely music to it as well so you guys you like the music i do to dad
995
7351900
6980
122:38
today that dat their dad do that in a gesture we relive that sooo much so don't do too much
996
7358880
11900
122:50
as the song because we might be slight for copyright I like okay you know so it's a copyright
997
7370780
4879
122:55
and you could ever do a few seconds so who is in this film anyway oh right well i can't
998
7375659
6560
123:02
remember any of the name i know that albert sidney Albert Finney is the star of the film
999
7382219
6081
123:08
he plays the circu lamoreaux to say mr. Tackett Christie detective but but that that the thing
1000
7388300
9290
123:17
I find I find this movie very annoying i find Murder on the Orient Express quite annoying
1001
7397590
7250
123:24
because of the way in which albert finney acts i find it very distracting and of course
1002
7404840
4859
123:29
for half the time you can't understand what he's saying no you are that's it is lose for
1003
7409699
5610
123:35
executive you get I know you can't understand what he's saying but there is another Agatha
1004
7415309
4901
123:40
Christie novel that was set in a movie called death on the nile and in that one it was Peter
1005
7420210
7699
123:47
Ustinov off playing the part of Hercule Poirot yes I remember that one now I prefer i've
1006
7427909

1026
7575320
7190
126:22
character actors and their you had that he had a I was thought Richard Widmark Richard
1027
7582510
5389
126:27
Widmark had very similar features to kirk douglas yes that that typical sort of all-american
1028
7587899
8910
126:36
hero edge you're very very heavily heavily lying face yes hopefully Bogart he was the
1029
7596809
11000
126:47
murderer wouldn t says Carlos Carlos is just joining in here so that it's an endo has given
1030
7607809
8140
126:55
the answer of course the film that starred lauren bacall and Humphrey Bogart was just
1031
7615949
6320
127:02
a blank after blanker casablanca mr. sorry I knew that you knew that at no you didn't
1032
7622269
8941
127:11
you just said you didn't know I I you all along I was just pretending that doesn't make
1033
7631210
6270
127:17
any sense but this is a good film I like it anyway it's time for us to go just before
1034
7637480
7750
127:25
I just surely not even though we're gonna release me from my bombs definitely the quiz
1035
7645230
10119
127:35
the puzzle and also the mystery object nobody guessed is in fact i think one person one
1036
7655349
7290
127:42
person got this right just one person really system we did a long time ago but i but i
1037
7662639
7350
127:49
think i think mr. Steve was talking of this so there we go that was the puzzle the word
1038
7669989
7400
127:57
puzzle before i go there it is the word puzzle and of course the word puzzle is jingle bells
1039
7677389
9181
128:06
and mr. Steve and I will be singing a very short song but it won't be jingle bells because
1040
7686570
8929
128:15
that's on the copyright unfortunately but we will sing you a short christmas song in
1041
7695499
4850
128:20
a few moments before we go okay and the mystery object what was the mystery object will bring
1042
7700349
10390
128:30
mr. Steve back in so mr. Steve this is a very strange-looking object it's made of cardboard
1043
7710739
7411
128:38
I gave you a clue i said you use it around the house you put many of these around the
1044
7718150
6360
128:44
house but what is it used full what is it used for mr. Steve well you place it on the
1045
7724510
8569
128:53
corners of rooms down near the skirting board and it catches spiders because they crawl
1046
7733079
12241
129:05
inside it's a bit cruel it's not a nice way to end your christmas show they crawl inside
1047
7745320
5629
129:10
it's better the whole of the inside it's sticky and they get trapped him there and actually
1048
7750949
6250
129:17
end of them but his sliders call around the edge of the rooms they put it in a corner
1049
7757199
5121
129:22
somewhere and go in there so you don't like but they're very effective i can tell you
1050
7762320
4149
129:26
up with those down in my house and about a week later they must have been a bad dozen
1051
7766469
5010
129:31
side of chapter inside so very if you don't like spiders put those in your house so basically
1052
7771479
5670
129:37
you really effective you use this for catching spiders expire the goes inside and it sticks
1053
7777149
7950
129:45
to the bottom of this triangle so if you live in a country where you've got deadly spiders
1054
7785099
8530
129:53
which we unfortunately don't in the UK but if you live in a country with spiders that
1055
7793629
5641
129:59
could continue a bite you and kill you then put those in the house a little traveling
1056
7799270
5229
130:04
can decide to really kill you yes oh yes you are you having to hit you yeah are you telling
1057
7804499
5960
130:10
me if I went outside now a and found a spider and challenged him to a fight that has the
1058
7810459
7861
130:18
spider could kill me but it would bite you I said black widow spider example but loading
1059
7818320
5549
130:23
the in a matter captain they're probably not learning in tropical countries have a lot
1060
7823869
5610
130:29
of your viewers I've got spiders and they don't likely would like to bite them ok just
1061
7829479
6690
130:36
before we go do you have spiders that can kill you in your country because mr. steve
1062
7836169
5750
130:41
says there are spiders that can kill you yeah but even if I went outside my daughter now
1063
7841919
5000
130:46
in challenge despite into a fight in the garden out there right now while still Barbara is
1064
7846919
7001
130:53
lashing around i think i could just be sure I could just I could just step on it and squish
1065
7853920
6619
131:00
it that creep up on you when you're watching the television and they're gonna kill me literally
1066
7860539
5761
131:06
I don't know anywhere you don't want to end the show like that we want to end on a high
1067
7866300
5329
131:11
we are going to head and we are going to end on what might be described as a high i'm not
1068
7871629
6450
131:18
quite sure but before we go can we just say some special goodbyes to Aang algis viccus
