i but i i had a zoom um which was actually rather ghastly i was one of the little squares on an enormous screen it was you know everybody talks at once that's the topic so miriam in your your beautiful voice i'd like you all to shut up please but i speak like no paul i do know you but i haven't seen you for a very long time i know a very long time we worked together on romeo romeo and

thought somebody remembered yeah no it was it was a real thrill but miriam you haven't worked with ron howard no we haven't even met we didn't even really glad to come on this show because you meet important people you were definitely important so i hope you'll use me yes i have you honestly i honestly have okay when had you heard of her harry potter oh yes and i'm working on a project that i can't really talk about but it's an animated project and in all honesty you were referenced as a potential cartoon character uh as a title yeah that's quite flattering yes yes it's a very important character yeah very very i'm thrilled thank you and it's a job well no somebody else has the part i'm looking for a miriam type the the beard is that's a lockdown beard sort of but i i did a a series in in l.a which i just got back from uh and i was playing a real character who had this beard so i thought i'd well known for my my immersion into characters so i grew the beard so i could be like the character wow well it suits you it looks like yeah you better yeah well i remember when you didn't have a beard that's true i do i wasn't born with it when did you start i grew this beard i think maybe eight years ago nine years ago something like that and you decided to keep it [Applause] i think i know where this is going yes miriam i did i like it don't you i do yeah anywho so we're all performers tonight but ron howard you're the only one you were a child star i mean a proper child star well i i started working when i was when i was four years old and i had a it was on a very successful show in america called the andy griffith show and then that followed up with uh with with with happy days yeah but in between i think this is so exciting you also worked with lassie well i did i did do an episode of lassie uh i was 15 when i did it and uh a small break from from school and this opportunity came along and they were made so quickly that you never got a second take at anything i mean it was just do it go fat and you know and lassie and lassie's trainer kind of ruled uh everything i had one really good scene where i was supposed to be very emotional because my horse had died that was my horse and i was holding lassie like this and i was supposed to seeing that my horse had died and i we did the master shot and i sort of did a little fake crying and it wasn't very good you know and i knew that but they were going in for the close-up okay good went and did the close-up we did one take not i wasn't satisfied with that i said sir sir director please uh could could i just know if i could do one more take i'd get it he said no no kid we don't have time let's go ahead okay let's get lassie's close-up well i had my hand was on lassie's collar and i thought okay i blew it when it was on me but maybe i could just emote you know just a little croc a little movement you know a crucial moment so they were rolling the cameras and at a certain point when i was getting supposed to be getting emotional i did that and this director who never did more than one take said cut cut we got to do it again and he walked up to me and he said kid don't you ever [ __ ] try to steal lassie's close-up again [Applause] it's an education it's an education i was on a flight once i was on when i was a kid i was on a flight and lassie was on the flight in first class last he had his own seat i went to i was i went back but uh yeah i did get to meet lassie and i got an autograph it was a paw print hold on i think there were a few lassies might have been lassie number six evelyn you talk about all of your experiences in your book uh the boys a memoir of hollywood and family which is out now and you write this with your brother clint and people will know clint because you use him now in a lot of your films he's been in a lot of my films whenever there's one i i don't just put him in there whenever there's something kind of funny eccentric specific interesting he's a fantastic character actor and it was a blast to reconnect and work on the on together and as charles does i mean you mentioned there you were in the andy griffith show which we did we didn't really get the answer no here he was a sheriff a sheriff was a small town in north carolina and i was his son i was opie and that was andy but uh now in ireland we did get clint's show uh gentle bed ah yeah um which was i love gentle ben um did you do that yeah i loved it well clint did that show for a number of years and at one point andy griffith's show was the number one show in the u.s and gentle ben was the number two show wow that's so great and to give an idea of how young you were you couldn't properly read and write when you became very very famous no i i in all honesty i had i had to learn to write to sign autographs we've got a picture this is from the book of you attempting to sign an autograph you can see it in a lot of pains you couldn't i could have just done what lassie did to put your hands and writing this book it must have been strange or maybe you don't really realize what your father had to go through because he wanted to be a star but then he watched these little boys become star well i mean he and my mother jean were that you know they were the outliers they were the ones that she left a tiny little town in oklahoma and my dad was a dirt farmer but with this dream they had no right to believe they could possibly do it and and they did and throughout it all even though you know he did this remarkable thing of of of really teaching us you know how to cope with this thing not only to learn to act and really learn to act not just to perform but also to guide us through the process but he never stopped writing himself and working a good deal but he had this very earthy direct approach not only to learning how to be in a scene how to listen how to pay attention and and how to succeed really you know but how not to fear failure and that confidence is the thing i'm most grateful for confident because in america they're all frightened of failure yes especially in hollywood nuts about it yeah yeah they're frightened of two things fat and failure that's raps but then it's interesting though because you know your father's career his star was outshone by his children and then you got happy days you that was your big starring part but then your star got taken well it was a really interesting kind of paradoxical situation because the show began and the richie cunningham character was the undeniable lead of the show and i actually left film school because i already had the dream of being a filmmaker to to be in the show because i just felt like well this is a great opportunity it's a great job i've got to do it now henry from the very first episode henry winkler playing the fonz just with a few lines just had this remarkable character now it was amazing to be around it and we immediately bonded and became great friends we were a fantastic ensemble we all got along great but slowly but surely as they started to write for him and i mean it became like sort of like beatlemania for a a while i mean when we would go out on the road to promote the show it was just insane focused on fonzie clearly that was very exciting except the executives studio heads network heads they you know they started really treating me with a lot of disrespect from a business standpoint just in terms of interaction and and the press kept saying what's it like or do you feel you know like you you that you become a second-class citizen on your own show and these kinds of things which i didn't feel within the workspace and i certainly didn't feel it within our our friendship which endures to this day i mean he's the godfather of all all four of my kids bryce has been on the show yeah and that's bryce's godfather right there but it was a test and more than anything he did two things first i'd been in this rarefied world as this kind of kid actor who was a star i did recognize this is a business and it's a tough business and it's a competitive one and you have to understand it from all perspectives and more than anything it reminded me that i needed to even though i was on the show i had a responsibility to the show what i really owed it to myself was to pursue my real dream which was to be in charge of my own productions the stories i wanted to tell and be the filmmaker and i'm not sure i would have taken that initiative to the level i needed to to finally get to do it so uh the boys by ron howard and clintoward and it is out now thank you very much paul rudd brings us the latest installment in the ghostbusters saga this is ghostbusters afterlife it's in cinemas from the 18th of november so tell us paul what is happening as this film begins who are you well i play a guy named uh gary gruberson jewish yeah and uh and we and oh god i have three different jokes formulating all of them i'm going to skip so but it's it's set in the midwest this family kind of discovers this single mom and her two kids they're broke they discover that her estranged father has passed away and they've inherited this house and they go out to oklahoma and there's something very weird about this house and about this town and i play a guy who is a substitute teacher um who's really not interested in teaching uh but is really interested in seismology and uh and there's been a lot of activity in this town the ground shakes and it doesn't make any sense and actually you like all that stuff don't you like all the sciency bit in life or in the movie it went in life yeah science is great listen up kids have they have they inherited the toys the you know the the ones that put out that plasma and you mustn't cross the streams right right the uh the the prototype yeah they start to yeah things start showing up in this house okay well this is a clip and this is you and two of your students are basically trying to start up a ghost trap fire it up i've always wanted to do this so yes should probably get out of here you're an adult yeah and libel you know what this means right your grandfather was a ghostbuster obviously you knew all the you know the significance of all these things like the proton packs and the ghost right did the kids like did they know anything about gospels they did they knew a lot they uh mckenna grace who plays that character she had dressed up as a ghostbuster i think for halloween years before she was ever involved in this and um finn wolfhard is in the film he dressed i think as a ghostbuster in the show stranger things so they they were very aware but big franchises these big franchises is it true ron you were going to do a harry potter no no no no i wasn't going there there was a a moment when there was a kind of a you know a list of of candidates and they they reached out to me at that point to talk about it and i read the books and the books were fantastic but in all honesty i i have just finished doing the grinch with jim carrey and that was a fun fascinating but unbelievably challenging and difficult production and i just sort of said i don't think i want to be in fantasy world again for another few years and and i did i wanted to do a beautiful mind which was a great opportunity and a different kind of a story but uh but then i mean it became harry potter i knew it was good and uh but uh you know maybe that would have been our our opportunity i mean you know but you missed professor sprout i did yes i did honestly it's not the most important moment in my life no tell you in lockdown did you finally get to watch it no it's not my kind of thing you know i'm not interested in in fantasy i did it as i do everything for the money that's true and steven obviously you did all the audio books but you're not in it were you not offered a cameo well no i mean i felt that i'd be in all the characters because from the first when the first book came out i did it as an audiobook brilliantly brilliant one of the most brilliant pieces of audio work ever you were a darling it really is you're very kind it was such an extraordinary ride because it was the only book she'd written and uh i tell the story it's very much against myself i fear um i don't come out of it well but when i finished it i said to her this is a jolly good book i've had a really good time reading it she said well as a matter of fact i've i've written a second one and i said good for you [Laughter] [Applause] now here's the thing uh paul in ghostbusters there are lots of very impressive special effects and visual effects but you yourself using a camera phone you can create a visual effect i can yes where it appears that people are seeing something they're not that's right okay can you demonstrate it sure good [Applause] um can i just say you are all going to be trying this yeah this is uh i can try it on i knew that okay okay okay what do i need to do just sit there okay this should be fine all right i think we can do you know what he's doing yes i do you win in a miracle it should be synced to uh yeah i think it's sync now so here's the picture that you just took so [Applause] it does look like a bum i know it looks really confused what happened oh yes do miriam there we go are you doing it with your fingers yeah beautiful what is that it does look like a bottom yes yes i happen to have really sausage looking fingers that make a really nice tush and you can frame you you can frame it frame the camera so it looks like you're just basically just i just got to know how you discovered this uni i know that's what i want of yours there's an even more sophisticated version yeah okay there's there's you can do i mean well let's see if i can i don't know if it's if sophisticated is the right word but uh [Music] [Applause] very good fantastic and uh very quickly paul i wanted to talk about another project you've got uh the shrink next door with yourself and will ferrell uh based on the podcast i listen to the book i can't wait to see this what's your kind of one-line description of uh the shrink next door uh it's about a guy that will plays named marty that goes to see a therapist and it really changes his life uh maybe not in the best way over the course of many years and it's honestly it's a true story it's unbelievable it's on uh it starts streaming next week on apple tv plus it's i can't wait to see it oh great okay good thank you paul ryan you're just a dirty boy does that look like a you know yeah there's other i have other things that i can do that are really very truly disgusting looking that i didn't just didn't seem right for tv we'll see you after we'll see yeah i'll show you all all you know ladies and gentlemen mary margulies has written a book yes she has yeah this much is true it's your memoir and i congratulate you it's selling like hotcakes miri margulies i'm glad to say it is i didn't expect it to but of course it really is yes it is and uh and high praise mr stephen fry is on the cover there is no one on earth quite so wonderful yeah did i say but i mentioned earlier you've turned turned 80. why did you wait so long were you waiting for people to die before you wrote this book what was the the spur as i told you earlier was that i was paid an enormous amount of money and that's why i wrote it i'm not a writer i'm not a writer i'm i'm i'm an actress and i i was i don't know because of your show people know who i am it's because of being on graham norton and i've said some rude things you may not have seen them in america but but um and that's you know people said i could write a book and i did and you did write a book and and i'll talk about how beautiful is in a moment but i just wondered now that you told those stories and you tell stories about you know people in your past people at university have any of them cropped up now that they're in new york you know amazingly um i've i have occasionally um been unfaithful not often not often and a long time ago but one of those ladies turned up actually two nights ago in yeovil goodness in in somerset do you know it i know somerset and um [Music] and it was quite alarming and lovely in a way you know but but sort of there she was and did you write about her in the book yes and kindly of course of course so she was happy yes i think she was i think she was but i i want to say very strongly that adultery is stupid and you mustn't do it don't do it that is that is really true it's gambling with your happiness and it'll catch up with you in yeovil [Applause] and you talk about you know you talk about being on the show and telling your your stories and and those stories are in here but but i've i've said to you this already that it is beautifully written and i think it's a different side of you that actually there's a very thoughtful miriam in here a very sensitive i hope so because i don't want to just be a mouth you know that that sucks people often do silly things [Music] it's confusing isn't it wrong it's confusing there's a lot going on with it i'm a serious person i'm a thinking person and i i care about the world and the the people in it and i wanted that to be in the book too and i think it is so you get the whole person which is what you should get in it in an autobiography and like i say lots of the stories you've told on the on the show are already here i was particularly pleased that the first story you ever told on the show about 20 years ago is in the book it's the one where uh you'd park on a double yellow line for a few moments do you know this oh yes yes well that that had its repercussions of course because well i i mean i parked on a double yellow line in shaftesbury avenue it was um the day of the state opening of parliament and i rushed up to give a take a tape and audio tape because you know i do audio tapes to my agent and i came downstairs there was a policeman pasting um a parking ticket on my windscreen and i was just furious because i'd only been there for a minute and so you know i tore it off the windscreen and i said you've got a dick that small because i thought the best thing is to insult him as quickly as possible of course and he took umbrage didn't like it and he arrested me for a breach of the peace and uh parking on a double yellow line and um then he called for help from other policemen and there were lots about because it was the state opening of parliament and you know they're mingling around and so um i was taken in a in a police car to beau street police station uh and um there i was arraigned and um they said uh empty your handbag and i had a few things in my handbag and one of them was a packet of peppermints but they're wrapped in silver paper you see and that the detective in charge thought that it was drugs and he said um you know what have we got here then that's interesting and i said it's just a packet of peppermints officer and he said no i think we better check you out matron and he got the um the matron to come and uh put me in a room privately and i knew i knew because i was sharp that she was going to give me an internal examination i just knew that nothing had been said but i knew it so when she locked the door she went out for a bit i took all my clothes off immediately when you would you know you know you're going to be examined and she came back in and she said you've been here before [Laughter] i said i have not been here before she said yes you have how did you know to take your clothes off and i said well i know you're going to examine me aren't you they called you matron so i knew something was afoot so um she said anyway bend down or lie on the couch or something and she examined me my front body and my back and of course they thought i wouldn't like it [Applause] but you know i i'm gay i have to tell you that of course it was as if all my christmases [Applause] okay [Music] now time to meet our remote guest tonight she's the oscar winning star of monstrous ball x-men and die another day it's halle berry everybody [Applause] [Music] hello hello hey i i don't know if you know any stephen fry's here ron howard mayor margulies paul rudd halle berry there you go hello hi hi guys hey good to see you hey hi ron hi nice where are you halle berry i'm in new york city oh okay at the whitby hotel good plug reduced rates um all right we've been talking about directing tonight and you are now a film director as well you star in and direct bruised which is out on the 24th of november on netflix so uh tell us about the movie well it's a classic fight film a la the genre of the very first rocky and maybe the wrestler you know it was a low budget film and hollywood standards but it has a lot of grit and a lot of heart like the original rocky and the wrestler but it's the story of a um disgraced mma fighter not a boxer but an mma fighter who is fighting for the right to get her career back but also because it's a female story she's also fighting for the right to be a mother she squandered away her right to mother her child when the child was born and now the child automatic you know all of a sudden gets dumped back at her doorstep and now she has to fight for her life and fight for the life of this child and originally i think it was just a project for you to star in how did you end up in the director's chair yeah originally when i read the script it was written for a 25 year old white catholic irish catholic woman i thought well that's not me but i got a chance to reimagine it and make it for a middle-aged black woman and so finally um i decided you know what i think i have to go tell these producers probably the silliest thing they've ever heard which was hey guys i think i should direct this i know it's crazy but i do have this story in my head and i think i'm ready to do it and to my surprise they said yes wow well listen we've got a clip hallie this is you speaking to your mother about custody of your young son is he here he's sleeping yeah mama mama wait he was sitting outside the movie theater at 11 p.m some woman saw him and brought in here boy had my napkin in his pocket i'm taking custody now wait wait wait what you homeless and you ain't fit yeah but i'm his mother manny you know i didn't mean that that that was a mistake you really need to get it together mama i'm trying to do that i'm a fighter well your inner mullah that's for certain oh so obviously it's a very emotional story but as you mentioned it's it's a fight movie and the fight scenes are spectacular i mean they look incredibly realistic how much physical contact was there all physical you know one of the things i learned from this director i work with chad celeski on john wick was if the real performers the real actors are doing it for real and you can put the camera anywhere you want you don't have to create shots to hide that you don't have the real actors in the shot right so learning all the disciplines were key to me and also key to me was getting the current flyweight ufc flyweight champion valentina chavchenko she was my opponent so i got to really fight her so i had to really train i trained for about two and a half years and up my game and really be prepared for for this moment but fighting a real fighter was she able to kind of hold back sometimes yes sometimes no day two of the fight it was a five day fight sequence and of course we shot that at the beginning because we had now trained we were all ready we knew our choreo and day two into the five-day fight she uh kicked me and broke two ribs and uh she was fired but what did that shut down production or anything or no it threatened to but i knew that if i told anyone and told the insurance that i had broken two ribs they would have shut me down and i knew that i might never get back to this movie again and i put too much into it i'd worked too hard i'd come too far i'd fought too hard so the funny thing happened because i'd been training to be a fighter for two and a half years i think the fighter side of my training took over and as all fighters when you're in the ring if you get injured stopping isn't an option you just keep going you just have to keep going so i made the decision to not tell anybody keep going and once we finish the fight then i told everybody oh [ __ ] i think i broke something i have to go to the hospital wow talking about your your training uh i think there's an architecture paul rudd you worked out with halle berry didn't you well no not really and this is embarrassing you wouldn't even remember this but i one time i was in a hotel gym and uh you were working out and you and i were the only people there but i didn't say anything to you because why i'm not not gonna talk to you why i don't wanna bother you you were doing like crunches you were scared man oh my god so can i say one thing to ron did you mention this is my directorial debut ron i have to tell you i watched your master class preparing to direct my film and i learned so much from you wow you assuage so much of my fears following you through what it takes to be a director and what your process is and how you set up a scene like i i so appreciated that so thank you thank you very much i'm so happy i got to tell you yeah and uh and i and i will say that the word around is it's a wonderful film and halley's done a spectacular job so that's what that's the that's the buzz that i pick up on oh thank you that's right here well that's because of you i watched your class uh hallie lovely lovely lovely to meet you bruce is available from the 24th of november halle berry everybody thank you thank you everybody good night uh ladies and gentlemen stephen fry stephen fry also has a new book it's called fry's time what's it about stephen such a silly idea but it all came about um nearly two years ago now when the lockdown began like everybody i was at home and i did the usual things like baking banana bread and sourdough and all that sort of thing then i was ferreting around trying to clear up lots of things that i hadn't cleared up for for years and i found these drawers full of ties and everywhere i go i buy a tie when you know i reward myself if i come out of a voiceover i think i'll buy a tie and if i'm in a foreign country i see a thai shop i think that's nice and it reminds me of yeah where i've been and so on and so i photographed this particular tie and put it on instagram with a hashtag fry's ties and told the story of the fashion house that made it was a fasonable tie which was quite interesting because carrie grant had really made their name back in the 50s and so i talked a bit about that and the next day i did another and then another and then another and he was building up this enormous audience and everyone said you must do a book of these because they're so interesting because ties i know they're symbols of you know being throttled when you're a school child you just think they're conventional they're annoying you can't wait to take them off i bet you never wear ties and you've got a lovely paul smith by the look of it and that's suspended but most people don't don't like them and and they can't wait to get rid of them they associate them with authority and convention and of course there are club ties and regimental ties and and and work ties all kinds and ron you're not wearing a tight shirt would you ever wear tie sure i know i i have a couple and i will wear them you know my dad was a bolo tie you know and and i so i i have i have a few of his and once in a while i'll i'll break out the bolo tie i can't imagine steven having a bolo tie not really i think i have got one somewhere with with a little silver thing to tighten it up yeah i quite like the way you know steve mcqueen and paul newman's wore them ties went so out in you know there was the um there was the kippertai for a while you know the big fat one but you know i had one tie that was a bit available six is really wanky but but i was a there was a dining club at cambridge called the cherubs and and i was initiated into the cherubs and it had a special tie and at the initiation ceremony you had to say what you were going to do with it to to bring glory to the cherubs and i said i'm going to wear it on television and in fact i did oddly enough only about three weeks later because i i wore it on university challenge and and so but there was a guy i've been on that yeah i know and there was a guy though who was also being initiated and when he was asked what he was going to do with his tie he said i will i will be a real cherub and i would take it to the heavens and we thought what's he talking about and i discovered that he was in this in the vacations he was taking fast jet lessons with the raf and that he was learning russian and that he was doing a postgraduate degree in astrophysics he was preparing to be an astronaut and his name is mike foale and in fact he has the british record for the number of days in space 373 days i think it is on the mere space station and the international space station so he took his cherub's tie there so that's an amazing title i'm getting a tie right after this show i need time you do you're beautiful tonight and but are you interested in fashion oh go on you're very put together tonight well i want it to look nice because i'm selling the book i mean normally i come on and i just talk dirty but but tonight i wanted to look smart the wrong book no i'm not interested in fashion at all but now when you uh worked with great martin scorsese uh your fashion tense didn't cheer up the crew but you did cheer up the crew well this is a story it's a true story you know martin scorsese of course well i i was in a film that he was directing called the age of innocence a very good movie by the way you thought you're all right and um before it started you have to go in a sort of costume parade and everybody looks at you to see if the costume fits the character and all that and i was the very last person to be seen that day it was a big cast loads of people you know dan day lewis and michelle five you know really important people then there was you know that shoplifter winona ryder i didn't i didn't like her i really didn't and there were lots of other people um she didn't like her richard grant was adorable and um and you know a lot of a lot of people sean phillips and and uh hundreds of people and i was the very last person and when i got in the room i could see they were just exhausted the whole crew they were slumped they were tired they were fed up and i thought i've got to do something to cheer them up because when you see people in that state and you know you're going to be working with them and i thought i know what i can do and so i stood up there and i just lifted up my top and tore off my bra and my bosoms which are large and and and friendly and i i just gave them to them and it made them happy brilliant it was worth doing about i've seen them i've seen them because [Applause] yes do you remember when we were when we were shooting cold comfort farm um the john schlesinger movie um you got stung on one of them by a bee when we were doing that scene outside do you remember that yeah and you just took them out and said look and and um and i said to john celestine because i said did you see miriam just took her breasts out he said no but i heard them hit the ground [Applause] very good right it is time for music this double grammy award winner is one of the biggest names in modern jazz and soul here performing revival it is gregory porter [Applause]
