00:00I don't like erotic literature. No need for it. I don't like eroticism anyway. Literature,
00:10television, film, radio. You don't get so much of it on the radio. Don't get it on
00:16the arches, do you? Fucking hell. That is a micro-aggression. Hostile.
00:23Part of why we had to move...
00:24And then she just moves on.
00:26Part of why...
00:28Sorry, carry on.
00:29In tonight's episode, while I'm away, John has Matt Ford around to play golf.
00:35Come on!
00:37Lucy's mum and Johnny Vegas resume their activities.
00:40Please stop.
00:41And John has an audition with a TV legend.
00:46Line of duty, initial interview with John Richardson.
00:52Where are we looking? Which one?
00:54Cheese. Cheese.
00:57My new agent's been brilliant. She got me on Pointless.
01:01She got me on House of Games.
01:03Yes, Lucy?
01:04It's stingy. You know.
01:06And now she's got me the biggest break of all.
01:09Two letters, Lucy.
01:10L-A.
01:11Do you know what they love in LA?
01:12What?
01:13Funny women.
01:13That's where I belong.
01:15You're trading Rolf Harris for Harvey Weinstein. That's all you're doing.
01:19The American mentality is they're yes people.
01:22Yeah, can I get a gun and shoot a load of people? Yes.
01:25They think big.
01:26Yeah, can I blow up a building? Yes.
01:29So Lucy's off to LA for the week.
01:30And because I'm a good man, I'm driving her to the airport.
01:33Which of our houses that we've lived in since we knew each other
01:38do you miss the most?
01:39I really liked doing a poo in that little toilet that we had
01:43in Severton where there was...
01:44Off the kitchen?
01:45Downstairs, yeah.
01:46Do you like to shit just off the kitchen?
01:47Well, because the floor was heated.
01:48Heated floor, yeah.
01:50So it just felt like, you know, being in a womb.
01:53Being in a womb made you want to have a shit.
01:55Yeah.
01:56There's so much for you and your mum to unpack at therapy.
01:58I just always think it's funny when people talk about how calm in the womb was.
02:02I always want to say, do you know the womb I was in?
02:05Have you seen my mam?
02:07Panic womb.
02:08Panic womb.
02:10That's good, that, John.
02:12You should be a comedian.
02:13When we go through security, I get a bit nervous,
02:16even though I know I haven't put, like, drugs in.
02:20When they ask me, has someone packed your bag?
02:22Sometimes I'll go, they might have.
02:25So that's when they'll go through all my bags and stuff.
02:27And I'm convinced I'm like a mule without knowing it.
02:30Someone's put coke up my arse.
02:32I've only gone for a shit.
02:33I've come out with, like, four kilos of me.
02:36Yeah.
02:36So I walk through security like that, waiting for it to go off.
02:40You know when you go under it like that?
02:41And then they go, is everything all right, sir?
02:43And I go, yeah, I made it.
02:44Do you want to step this way?
02:46Dish.
02:47With Lucy on her way to LA, let's start the show again.
02:50Just me this week.
02:51Meet the Richardson.
02:54Morning.
02:59Ominous, isn't it?
03:00Feels like she's dead.
03:01She's not dead.
03:02She's just having a better time.
03:03She's in LA.
03:04I say she's in LA.
03:06She could be anywhere.
03:07I watched her House of Games.
03:08I mean, her grasp of geography.
03:10She could be around the corner in Sheffield.
03:11I thought, well, where would I host Live Aid?
03:14And I would host it in California.
03:16So that's where you've gone?
03:17Then I've gone a bit too high.
03:18Gone up into the Portland area.
03:20What does that mean for you while Lucy's away?
03:21Get to finish a sentence.
03:23I've never got to the end of a sentence before.
03:25I might like it.
03:25John's up for a part in the next line of duty.
03:28How about these bad boys?
03:29AC-12.
03:31You want me to call you a nonce?
03:33Yes, please.
03:34What's a nonce, Eddie?
03:35But he's not been taking it that seriously.
03:38Get in there.
03:41Interrupting.
03:42Oh.
03:43This is what happens when you work with Jed Mercurio.
03:46You get a lot of these very intense, very slow messages.
03:55I'm busy now, Jed.
03:56I've got stuff on.
03:57John!
03:58John, there's no bog roll.
04:00There is.
04:01It's in shops.
04:02It's everywhere.
04:03There's whole aisles of it in the supermarket.
04:05You give them coins and they give you toilet roll
04:08and then you wipe your bits and pieces with it.
04:10Have you got some I can have?
04:11If you're telling me I've been to the toilet already,
04:13then whatever is under there, you've sought yourself out with.
04:16Can I have some of these beers?
04:17Yes, please.
04:18Take the beers as well and then burn them for the chandle.
04:20John, guess what?
04:22What?
04:22Johnny's been in touch with me.
04:24Johnny Vegas, I assume.
04:25Who else?
04:26Who you've previously had an intense affair with.
04:29Your mum's had sex with Johnny Vegas.
04:30Shh.
04:31In my pub.
04:32When a woman throws a patty Guinness on you,
04:34what she's basically saying is, I own you.
04:37Lead me home, sugar tits.
04:39I think he misses me, John.
04:40That's like saying, you know that dog that I gave a bit of meat to?
04:43That's back in the yard.
04:44He wants anyone who will give him time and attention.
04:47I was having a lovely time then,
04:49flicking my little beer mats, having my beer.
04:52Now, I've got Jill's genitals smeared all over my bar
04:56and the prospect of Johnny Vegas back in my life.
04:58Consonant, please.
05:00Pete.
05:01You are going down.
05:03That is a sign from the gods.
05:07I think it's about your trousers.
05:09Another consonant, please.
05:11My new agent's managed to get me into the writer's room
05:13for a new American sitcom.
05:15It's dead exciting.
05:16Okay, so Mr. Dead.
05:18Just sort of spitball ideas around.
05:19She'll do well in America.
05:21She's got an American energy about her.
05:23It's just a shame no one will know what she's saying.
05:25Before she killed him, they dirtied on each other.
05:27They dirtied on each other.
05:29I like that.
05:30Maybe they could just have a secret curd.
05:31A secret curd?
05:33Yeah, the Iranian neighbour.
05:34I'm so valued here.
05:35But really, he was just joking.
05:37He was only jerking.
05:38What is a patty?
05:39What is a Humber Bridge?
05:40It's basically like Jeopardy.
05:41They don't understand everything I'm saying.
05:44Well, I mean, with comedy, you know, it's...
05:48What is it?
05:49Back in my pub, I was busy learning my lines.
05:56That's your fault.
05:57I'm just checking.
05:58You haven't forgotten about meeting Jeb Mercurio.
06:00You know your lines?
06:01Yes, I do, and he's been hassling me about it.
06:03Don't worry, I'm in the zone.
06:10Mercurio doesn't mess about, so learn the lines.
06:22I'll do it, don't worry.
06:23I'm fine.
06:25Oh, bollocks.
06:26I've got to go, there's a big dog.
06:28You're barred.
06:28Cheers.
06:30Welcome to the pub.
06:32Johnny headed upstairs and I carried on learning my lines.
06:37That was nearly the best thing that's ever happened to me on camera.
06:40And I'm playing with a split shaft.
06:45Sounds like something similar is happening upstairs, to be honest.
06:48They just take over your life, these people from all...
06:51This is my sanctum.
06:55This is where I come to just be on my own.
06:59Oh, please stop.
07:03She did this in London.
07:04She took the house and we were able to sell that from under her.
07:09I'm not selling this.
07:10This is mine.
07:10So this can't be allowed to happen again.
07:15She's either painting or panting up there and I don't like either.
07:18Suzanne has organized some stand-up gigs for me whilst I'm in LA.
07:23Next up is a very funny lady all the way from Hull and Ingerland.
07:28Give it up for Lucy Baumont.
07:33Thank you.
07:34Thank you very much.
07:34It's Beaumont, actually.
07:37Like Beau.
07:38It's actually French.
07:39It means beautiful mountain.
07:42Can you tell us what it's like to die on stage?
07:46No, and I'm insulted by the question.
07:49How dare you?
07:51Can you tell me what it's like to direct an absolute flop?
07:56There's something about dying abroad that is just
08:01the loneliest experience on the planet.
08:03I've got a very strong northern English accent,
08:06so just to adjust your ears to the sound,
08:10if you can repeat after me.
08:12Oh no, the snow on the road.
08:17If you repeat it.
08:18I've died all over the world.
08:20I've died in Norway, Amsterdam, Italy, France.
08:24I've died in Crete.
08:26But there's always that, you know, oh, it's the language barrier.
08:29But if you're in a country where English is the first language,
08:33you're just dying, aren't you?
08:34If you repeat it after me.
08:36Oh no, the...
08:38If you repeat it.
08:41Anyway, I think cracking the states
08:45might take a little bit more time.
08:47While Lucy's having a hard time,
08:49things are looking up for me.
08:50I'm on my way to meet Jed Mercurio,
08:52the creator of TV's biggest show, Line of Duty.
08:58Line of Duty, swearing,
09:01accents, bombs, car chases.
09:04Go on, get him!
09:05Push him over!
09:08It's all right, the safety's on.
09:10Can't come to any harm.
09:11Until I flick that switch.
09:13Bang!
09:13I'd shoot people in the balls, that'd be my thing.
09:17Who shoots a man in the balls?
09:19Holy Mary, mother of acorns.
09:31Hello.
09:31Hi.
09:32How are you?
09:33Yeah, I'm good, I'm good.
09:34I was going to stand up then.
09:35I don't know if I needed to stand up.
09:38I like...
09:44I like what you've done with the room.
09:46Are you taping this?
09:51Line of Duty, initial interview with John Richardson.
09:54Oh, you are taping it?
09:56I'm filming.
09:57I think the show's amazing.
09:58My one note would be,
10:01sometimes people say H instead of H,
10:04and I find that quite...
10:06Because it's H, isn't it?
10:07And it's...
10:07John, what do you know about police corruption?
10:11Oh, it's really bad.
10:14All good.
10:16It's bad.
10:17The thing is, it's not all murders and shootouts.
10:19Most corruption is in the paper.
10:21It's in the paper.
10:22It's in the paper.
10:23It's in the paper.
10:23It's in the paper.
10:24It's in the paper.
10:25It's in the paper.
10:25It's in the paper.
10:27The thing is, with Line of Duty,
10:28people expect pulsating plot twists,
10:31cliffhangers, high-octane action.
10:33In the next season, we want to flatten all that out.
10:35We want to take the sting out of it.
10:37And that's where I think you might come in.
10:41Wowee.
10:42DCI Gideon Metcalf, a ferocious admin czar,
10:46double-checks everyone's paperwork,
10:48never more than five foot from a filing cabinet.
10:50He makes bent coppers quake in their boots.
10:53Sounds like the role I was born to play.
10:55I've got a similar reputation in comedy.
10:57I take notes to gigs with me.
10:58Older comics hate me because they think
11:00you should just react to the audience.
11:01But what about sex?
11:04You comfortable with that?
11:06I want you, Lucy Burns.
11:09For him or for me?
11:10For Gideon Metcalf?
11:12Um...
11:12Touching, nudity, kissing.
11:15Do you think you'd be able to do some sex scenes?
11:17I mean, from the way you've described the character,
11:19he doesn't seem like he would actually have sex with her.
11:21That's the whole point.
11:22I'm thinking, end of act one, plot twist, cliffhanger.
11:25He's a virgin.
11:27The OCG lay a honey trap, pop his cherry.
11:31Gideon Metcalf is compromised.
11:34Could he have had sex once before or like at uni or something?
11:37No, no.
11:38Complete virgin.
11:39He's struck out at every single opportunity.
11:41He found a way to mess it up.
11:47It's all acting, isn't it?
11:48I can pretend to be a virgin.
11:49That's what I wanted to hear, John.
11:51Take the script.
11:52Learn it, live it.
12:02Yeah, I liked him, yeah.
12:03It's quite intense.
12:04But I think that probably helped me in a way.
12:07I think he thought I was probably getting into the role
12:11of a sort of snivelling, sort of weedy, intimidated man.
12:15But actually, that's what I am.
12:22Sit down.
12:24Anything you need me to do on my own, I'm always still waiting.
12:27Do you want some of my dramatic acting?
12:29You got it.
12:30Hang on then.
12:34Sorry Lucy's not here yet,
12:35but we had some very upsetting news this morning.
12:40We ran out of oat milk at Co-op.
12:43We had to buy almond, which is worse for the planet.
12:47And it's worse in tea.
12:50But we're gonna carry on.
12:52I think we're gonna be all right.
12:55Do you like that?
12:56You bastard pricks.
12:59In part one, John met up with Line of Duty's Jed Mercurio.
13:03What about sex?
13:04Are you comfortable with that?
13:07Lucy's gone off to break America.
13:10And Jill and Johnny Vegas are back on again.
13:17Please stop.
13:19My agent had arranged a meeting with comedy actor Jessica Knappett.
13:23She's been in films and she was almost Lucy from Hull in my sitcom.
13:30And now she lives out in LA.
13:32Lucy.
13:34Sorry I'm late.
13:36I was waiting for the pool cleaner to show up.
13:38Oh, that's so LA.
13:40Such a cliche, but you've got to have a pool.
13:43I mean, you can't move to LA and then not have a pool.
13:45And do you know what I've noticed?
13:47Everyone has got good teeth.
13:49If you've got good teeth and you're in LA, you're set.
13:51It's amazing.
13:52It's just the energy.
13:53It's like it's one of them yes places, isn't it?
13:56It's like, yeah, you can do it.
13:58Everyone is just so happy.
14:00There's just so much.
14:02It's just positive vibes everywhere.
14:04John wouldn't cope in LA because he's Mr Negative.
14:07He likes to be around dour people.
14:09He likes to sit on Morecambe Pier in the rain.
14:12They're gonna get divorced if they come out here.
14:14He doesn't like joy people.
14:16I'll tell you what he doesn't like.
14:17He doesn't like men who look after themselves.
14:19Do you know what else I don't like?
14:20The number of people that exercise.
14:22You can't go out without seeing someone running.
14:24And when you're on your way to the pub, I find that a very hostile act.
14:31My mother-in-law and her lover have decided to give it a rest
14:35and come downstairs to raid my bar.
14:37Help yourself, Johnny.
14:39I'm gonna have a wee.
14:40Enjoy yourself in my pub, won't you?
14:42Yeah.
14:44Always do.
14:46It's like a morgue, isn't it, isn't it?
14:49You know what a pub needs, don't you?
14:51A bit of life.
14:52People.
14:53People.
14:57Lads!
14:58Vegas Pub Locking!
15:01Get in here!
15:03Right then, what are we having?
15:05Yeah, get the bottles in, mate.
15:06With notes on draft.
15:08So now it's all bottles.
15:09We'll take the bottles then, yeah?
15:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:12What's going on, what's going on?
15:13Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
15:14What are you doing?
15:15What's happened?
15:16I only went for a piss.
15:18You can't have that, I haven't got a license.
15:19I'm not, you're not allowed it.
15:20I'm, I'm sorry to be the arsehole.
15:22I am an arsehole.
15:22John, it's a private party.
15:24John, John, John.
15:24You haven't got a license.
15:25We're here to sell the nail.
15:26We're giving them.
15:28I am a prick.
15:28But on this matter, I'm not being a prick for no reason.
15:31You can drink with them in the street, Johnny, by all means.
15:33Meet them in the park or whatever you people do.
15:35What happened then?
15:36You were here.
15:37I only went for a piss.
15:38I haven't got a big bladder, I'm weak.
15:40I was gone about 30 seconds.
15:42And that will keep happening.
15:44Every time I go out, next time it'll be a rottweiler, then it'll be a fire.
15:47I'm just a fan of lock-ins.
15:49Eight celebrities have been locked into a pub.
15:52The winner will be the last man standing with Johnny Vegas.
15:58Shitty nail.
15:59Well, we need to bring it back.
16:00We should stop filming at the Richardsons and start making this.
16:04That's a fucking pile of shite!
16:08In his head, he still thinks it's celebrity lock-in.
16:11He's a good man to drink with.
16:12Oh, you was thirsty, weren't you?
16:14He's not a good man to go to the toilet and come back to find your pub.
16:19I'm going to use the word infested with strangers.
16:22What a waste of a pub.
16:24This is nice, isn't it?
16:25Lads, lads, lads.
16:26This is great.
16:28And he bought a pub.
16:29And Lucy sent us a message.
16:30She said, keep an eye on John.
16:32He's having all his friend over.
16:35That's clever, isn't it?
16:36Ain't she funny?
16:37My best friend is comedian and broadcaster Matt Ford.
16:41Whenever Lucy's away, I get Matt over for a session.
16:47Do you want some more?
16:50Matthew is coming up for, you know, just to catch up.
16:53You know, just a cup of tea and a natter.
16:55And by cop, I mean pint.
16:57But we'll do something first.
16:58You've got to do something you can tell Lucy we did,
17:01and then you can get shit-faced.
17:02I bought a pub, yeah.
17:03I can't have a pub in the new house, so I've had to buy a pub.
17:07The mentality is the same.
17:08I want a pub that no one else is allowed in.
17:10But you know what pub is short for?
17:12Public.
17:13That's why it's called a pub.
17:14Yours is a priv.
17:16Mine's short for pubic.
17:17Pubic house, where I sit there and scratch my nads,
17:21and they rain down like parmesan onto the floor.
17:24Oh, God.
17:26Like the scratchings, please.
17:30How competitive is John?
17:32Oh, he's competitive all the time, from the moment he wakes up.
17:35He's locked in a perpetual battle to prove himself.
17:38He thinks he's the best at everything.
17:42He thinks he's got a better personality, better morals.
17:45He thinks he's a better driver, best at maths, organisation,
17:49DIY, general knowledge, everything.
17:52He knows it all.
17:53Better than you at maths, isn't it?
17:55You listed about 10 things there, and you were still on the first hand.
17:58How big a run-up do you take?
17:59You just do yours.
18:01You do you, mate.
18:02Yeah.
18:02Oh, you do look like you know what you're doing, actually.
18:05You know what, as well?
18:05You've got that Rory McIlroy thing, the irritating face.
18:09And what's he like when he loses?
18:11Well, as I'm sure you'll know, he will claim that something wasn't right.
18:16This doesn't count.
18:17Yes, it... Oh, don't.
18:18All right, your first shot counts, then.
18:20Everyone's first shot counts. It's life.
18:22He's basically like Trump.
18:23You know, he'll make out he was rigged.
18:24The system was against him.
18:26Oh, you only did that.
18:27No, no, no, that doesn't count because you're a tarlot.
18:29There should have been an handicap on that.
18:31He will find a way to rob you of your deserved victory.
18:35Oh, that's gone.
18:36Oh, bugger.
18:38No, don't go off the back.
18:40While John was playing silly games,
18:42I was about to audition for the biggest role of my life.
18:45Imagine me in a Marvel movie.
18:47Lucy Beaumont.
18:47Hi, thank you.
18:50Just go and stand on your mark.
18:52So, Black Widow has been wounded in a fight with Ratman and his pack.
18:56They've kidnapped the president's daughter and you, Sparkle, are on their tail.
19:02Right, yeah.
19:03The fate of the world is in your hands.
19:08Oh, no, they've taken her down the sewer.
19:10Think, Sparkle, think.
19:12I know, I'll smoke them out until they choke.
19:15In your usual accent?
19:18Oh, sorry.
19:19Do you want East Hall or West Hall?
19:21Um...
19:22I can do East Hall, North Hall and I can even do West Hall.
19:25Oh, great, you're in the next Star Wars.
19:27Oh, you fuck.
19:28I'm just gonna go for it, sod it.
19:30Hang on, let me film this.
19:31Don't let go of the club.
19:36Three.
19:44Whoa!
19:45Oh, there it is, there it is.
19:48Oh, come on!
19:50The problem with Matt is he's very, very, very reactive.
19:55That means he's wonderful to prank.
19:57It's just an absolute open goal for someone like me, who is deep down a real piece of shit.
20:03He's probably the nastiest decent person I know.
20:07So when we lived together, him and me and my friend Danny,
20:11Danny found in a joke shop this horrible rat, like a toy rat, but it is in that position.
20:19It was horrible.
20:20It wasn't even for a prank, but Fordy shit himself just looking at it.
20:24So me and Danny were like, oh, this is on.
20:26It was like living in Victorian London.
20:28I would just open stuff and there'd be rats in it.
20:31So the first night we just put it in his bed and he went off to bed, pulled his duvet back.
20:37Screamed.
20:38And I just heard up the stairs.
20:42Then you've got to leave it a bit.
20:44That's the trick.
20:44You've got to get them out of the mindset of someone who's about to be pranked.
20:48The minute they're looking for it, game's over.
20:49They leave it a few weeks.
20:51So he would do it when he was out.
20:52So it wasn't even that he would get to see it.
20:54He wasn't there for the payoff.
20:55I knew at some point he liked soup.
20:59So I knew he'd have a big old bowl of soup.
21:02I put the rat in the microwave and I put it on the plate like that, peering out of the door.
21:07It'd been all, I don't know, all the way through.
21:09I'd put it on the plate.
21:11I'd put it in the microwave.
21:12Peering out of the door.
21:13It'd been all cock of the walk with his little...
21:19Fucking hell, there's a rat in here!
21:21Absolutely.
21:22Hock line and sinker, soup everywhere.
21:24And even though I've never seen it, I can picture it.
21:27And then you just hear it.
21:30Even if he's not there, you hear it.
21:32It's just on the wind.
21:33And now that the dust has settled on that and he's moved on from rat game,
21:37the time has come to strike again.
21:40I'd love you to miss some there.
21:42I know you would.
21:47Okay, John won the first hole.
21:50Golf won the first hole, really.
21:52But it means more to you to win, doesn't it?
21:53Not really, no.
21:55It's one of those things, it's like when you beat someone who is fundamentally awful.
22:00I feel like you've actually been so bad, you've robbed me of any joy.
22:05And you were barely there, so I feel like I've actually haven't really been there.
22:10Oh, Jesus Christ, what the fucking hell is that?
22:13What the fucking hell?
22:14What?
22:15What the fuck is that?
22:17Nice to meet you, man.
22:20That's my neighbour, Damien.
22:21How you doing?
22:21Jesus Christ.
22:23There's always a bit before the prank happens when I think,
22:26what if he has an actual heart attack?
22:28You've got to be careful with that stuff, haven't you?
22:30And I start to doubt myself and think, should we pull out?
22:33Is it too much?
22:34That can kill people.
22:35But I paid for the rat outfit.
22:37I paid for Dee's time.
22:38Jesus Christ.
22:39A breeze, a breeze.
22:40Was to make him shit the van.
22:42I think you did.
22:43It was wonderful, it was really good.
22:45Absolute treat.
22:46I'll be watching that one back a lot.
22:47Oh, Jesus Christ.
22:49If that had been an old cassette, I would have worn it out.
22:52Oh, Jesus Christ.
22:54John asked you to do this, then?
22:55Oh, aye.
22:56Well, I'm paid, aren't I?
22:57I'll just do whatever I'm paid to do.
22:59There was a genuine fear that Dee would get arrested.
23:01So why were you lurking in a bush dressed as a rat?
23:03He told me to.
23:04I would have disowned him instantly.
23:06I'm glad Fordy jumped, but the real prank was to try and get Dee to do 10 to 15 years.
23:10Bit of fun, innit?
23:11I promise you this, I'm going to fuck him up.
23:14Meanwhile, in LA, Lucy was auditioning for a huge role in a Marvel movie.
23:19I know, I'll smoke them out until they choke.
23:22Just your British accent?
23:24Oh, no, they've taken her down the sewer.
23:26Think, Sparkle, think.
23:27I know, I'll smoke them out until they choke.
23:30They catch her in the rat, read it in like a Cockney accent.
23:34She came in and took off her coat.
23:37Took off her coat.
23:38Do Birmingham.
23:40She crossed her legs and had a cup of tea.
23:42She started to sweat.
23:43She was very nervous.
23:45Do Welsh.
23:46She really was.
23:47Holden was her age, I think.
23:50She was around my age.
23:51Do Scottish.
23:53You could have.
23:54Okay, the new...
23:54This is the bit that's culturally inappropriate.
23:57You're getting in character.
23:59Oh, okay, the new...
24:00Iron Blue.
24:01Kate Winslet.
24:02Emily Blunt.
24:04Keira Knightley.
24:05Oh, no, they've taken her down the sewer.
24:08Think, Sparkle, think.
24:10I know, I'll smoke them out until they choke.
24:13Do you spider?
24:15What's that?
24:16Spider.
24:17Oh, right.
24:18Auditions on green screen, nightmare.
24:20In one aspect, it's not real and there's none there.
24:23So you've got nothing to play against.
24:24But on the other side, depending on what medication I'm on,
24:29there could be anything behind me.
24:31Go with leg, go with arm.
24:32If I saw a spider, I'd go, get away, like that.
24:36Okay, thanks for coming in.
24:37Obviously, we are going to see some other people.
24:41Hi.
24:42Hello there.
24:42How are you doing?
24:43How was it?
24:45Your bags?
24:46Shall I take your goddamn bags?
24:48Oh, it was a wonderful trip.
24:50I mean, who would have thought little old me,
24:52from Hessle and Hull, going to the Bad Apple?
24:56The Big Apple.
24:57Is that New York?
24:58That's New York, then.
24:59Jill and Johnny are in the car, so aren't you?
25:00Oh, God, I don't care.
25:01So, brace yourself.
25:02Oh, my God, I don't think I'm ready for them.
25:09You're quiet in the back.
25:11Yeah, yeah.
25:12Fatigued.
25:12Close.
25:14Please stop.
25:15You're in good mood, though, yeah?
25:17It's nice to see each other, is it?
25:20Yeah.
25:21I'm actually desperate for a pee.
25:24Ah.
25:24Yeah.
25:25Sorry.
25:26We're about 40 minutes away.
25:27Can you hold it for 40 minutes?
25:29Not really.
25:32Just going to reverse him.
25:33Do you need it badly enough?
25:34I just prefer to reverse it, and then I can get out easily.
25:40Look, this is a little bit awkward, but it needed me.
25:45What are you going to do?
25:46Basically, that has turned into that.
25:55Yeah.
25:57Johnny's asked me to marry him, and I've said yes.
26:00You are jerking.
26:01No.
26:03Oh, my God.
26:04Do you need to tell me anything else?
26:06Well, I'm not pregnant, obviously.
26:13Can I smoke?
26:14No.
26:15This has gone too far now.
26:17I don't mind a bit of Christmas romance.
26:21You're watching a very slow motion car crash now.
26:25Somebody needs to step in, get a stinger out, burst the tyres.
26:30Before somebody gets badly hurt.
26:31They're in a whirlwind romance.
26:33That's what happens.
26:34I'm just happy for him.
26:35If my mum's happy, I'm happy.
26:37And, you know, he's a Casanova.
26:39Casa Diablo.
26:40Look me in the eye and say, I, Lucy Beaumont, knowing my mother
26:44and all the things that have happened between us in the years,
26:48firmly believe that the solution to a lot of my mum's problems is Johnny Vegas.
26:53Can I smoke?
26:54No.
26:55Whoa!
26:56What?
27:00That's me.
27:03Stop me for a selfie.
27:04Who's put that there?
27:06You know what? This is the first time in my life
27:09that I've ever properly gone and got him and got one up on him.
27:12Fuck you, Richardson.
27:13Next time on Meet the Richardsons,
27:15John has to organise Johnny Vegas's stag do.
27:18Okay, so the next process is to get that liquid.
27:20Can we have some?
27:21Not yet.
27:22This is the copper.
27:23So we drink it from here?
27:26Not yet.
27:26Lucy takes her mum wedding dress shopping.
27:29Do you know what it is?
27:30What?
27:31I'm not a virgin, am I?
27:33And John agrees to appear on Celebrity Bullseye with me.
27:36Please welcome your host.
27:38It's Alan Carr.
27:59I want a tail.
28:01I won't run amok when the females chuck confetti in my ears.
28:06And cross my heart, love, I'll keep up the pace.
