00:00I've been getting some advice on fatherhood from Michael.
00:03How's that gone?
00:04I would say, yeah, mixed results.
00:06To be honest, Jack, you're asking the wrong parent.
00:09As you know, I worked as a postnatal dealer for ten years.
00:12I don't think you have any idea what is coming down the tracks at you.
00:17As Daddy found out, you get chucked in at the deep end
00:20and it's sink or swim.
00:21Not a great analogy for Michael, obviously.
00:24Cos he can't swim. Cos he can't swim.
00:26I only couldn't swim because of the monks.
00:28Because of the monks who taught swimming at my school,
00:33they were all wearing habits.
00:35Live and learn, Jack.
00:36But they were not allowed to take their clothes off
00:38and jump in the swimming pool.
00:40Every day when I go to swimming pools, I think, if only I could swim.
00:45Why are you going to swimming pools every day?
00:47I often go and hang around the swimming pools.
00:50It's not something I would admit to on camera.
