ABOUT. YOU'RE IN LONDON, I KNOW YOU
ATTENDED THE BLACK LIVES MATTER PROTEST IN LONDON THIS WEEKEND. HOW WAS IT? TALK TO ME ABOUT HOW IT FELT
ABOUT PROTESTS IN LONDON THIS WEEKEND. >> WE WENT TO ONE YESTERDAY AT
THE U.S. EMBASSIMENT AND IT WAS MY DAUGHTER MAGGIE, MY 15 YEAR
OLD DAUGHTER, I MEAN WE HAVEN'T, YOU DON'T KNOW WHY WE HAVEN'T
THOUGHT OF GOING. BUT WE SORT OF-- SHE WAS
ABSOLUTELY DETERMINED THAT WE DID AND WE SAID OF OF COURSE AND
WE DID IT WAS BRILLIANT. I'M GLAD WE WENT. >> ALL OF, THE MAJORITY, IT
SEEMED LIKE QUITE A VERY BEAUTIFUL RECALL POSITIVE
EXPERIENCE. FOR LOTS OF PEOPLE. >> PEOPLE FEEL A BIT HOPELESS
AND THINK WHAT CAN I DO. JUST BY GOING THERE, WAS JUST,
THERE WAS A SORT OF AMAZING ATMOSPHERE. IT WAS VERY CALM AND CHARGED AT
THE SAME TIME. >> James: YES. NOW OBVIOUSLY THE LAST THREE
MONTHS FOR EVERYBODY HAS BEEN TOUGH AND CHALLENGING. WITH THIS SHELTER IN PLACE WE'VE
HAD. BUT YOU ARE, YOU ARE THE KIND OF
FAMILY THAT I THOUGHT ABOUT THE MOST. BECAUSE WE HAVE THREE YOUNG
CHILDREN. AND OURS ARE NINE, FIVE AND TWO. AND WE HAVE FOUND OURSELVES
CONSTANTLY SAYING OH, I'M PLEASED WE HAVEN'T GOT THREE
TEENAGERS IN THE HOUSE. BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS-- THAT
IS I THINK REALLY TERRIBLE. AND YOU HAVE THREE TEENAGERS IN
YOUR HOUSE. WHAT HAS IT BEEN LIKE? >> THEY'VE BEEN REALLY COOL. THEY'VE BEEN GREAT, ACTUALLY. I WOULD LOVE TO SAY THAT THEY
HAVE BEEN A NIGHTMARE AND THEY'VE BEEN FIGHTING BUT THEY
ARE JUST, THEY'RE A LITTLE BIT TEENAGERRISH BUT THEY ARE PRETTY
GOOD, REALLY. I TRY, STRAIGHT AT THE BEGINNING
OF LOCKDOWN WE INSTIGATED T WAS MY IDEA, WE INSTIGATED A READING
HOUR, EVERY DAY. AND SO AT 5:00 I INSISTED AND
THERE WAS COMPLAINING AND WE SAT IN THE LIVING ROOM AND READ OUR
BOOKS. AND IT DIDN'T WORK. AND MY I HEARD A PING AND HE HAD
HIS MOBILE BEHIND HIS BOOK. >> OH WOW. >> AND MY DAUGHTER WENT DADDY,
THIS IS CREEPY. >> SO IT DIDN'T WORK. THEY LASTED A DAY AND I SAID
OKAY, YOU HAVE READING HOUR IN THEIR BEDROOM AND THEY WENT. >> YOU CAN CONVINCE YOURSELF
THAT THEY ARE READING SOMEWHERE, SAFE IN THE KNOWLEDGE THAT THEY
ARE ON THEIR PHONES. >> EXACTLY. >> James: NOW I VNLT SEEN YOU
TO-- I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU TO TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE SUCCESSION. I THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST
WRITTEN AND PERFORMED SHOWS ON TELEVISION, CERTAINLY, I THINK
OF THE LAST DECADE. IT IS SO GOOD. DID YOU KNOW WHEN YOU WERE
MAKING THIS SHOW THAT YOU WERE WORKING ON SOMETHING THIS
SPECIAL? >> WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS
LIKE, YOU NEVER KNOW HOW IT'S GOING TO TURN OUT. YOU SORT OF HOPE FOR THE BEST. I THINK WHAT I DID KNOW WAS THAT
YOU YOU ARE WORKING WITH EXTRAORDINARY ACTORS, IT IS LIKE
WORKING WITH AN AMAZING THEATER COMPANY. BUT YOU, THE WRITING, IT IS THE
WRITING. ALWAYS THE WRITING. AND IT IS SO FUNNY AND
INTERESTING AND ST FUNNY. YOU KNOW, SO I, IT WAS LIKE A
SLOW BUILD THE FIRST SERIES AS OPPOSED TO A BIG FANFARE, IT WAS
MORE SORT OF HAVE YOU SEEN THE SHOW. AND FELT LIKE A SLOW BURN WHICH
WAS GOOD. AND SO AT THE END OF IT YOU ARE
SORT OF AWARE THAT IT WAS GATHERING MOMENTUM A LITTLE BIT. >> WHAT WERE THE MOMENTS THAT
MADE YOU THINK OH WOW, THIS SHOW HAS JUMPED FROM GOOD SHOW ON
TELEVISION TO SHOW THAT EVERYBODY IS TALKERRING ABOUT. >> I DON'T KNOW. I THINK, I WAS AT AN
AWARD-- AFTER THE FIRST SEASON AND I GOT TAPPED ON THE SHOULDER
BY BEN STILL ARE AND I WAS REALLY THRILLED WITH THAT. >> HE WAS LIKE, I LOVE IT. >> James: STILLER WAS THE
BENCH MARK. YOU ARE RIGHT, THE CAST IN THE
SHOW ARE SO INCREDIBLE. LIKE THERE IS NOT A WEAK LINK
ANYWHERE ACROSS THE ENTIRE SHOW. WHEN YOU WERE AT YOUR FIRST READ
THRU OF THE SHOW AND SIT DOWN AND READ THE SCRIPT, WAS THERE A
MOMENT WHEN YOU ARE THINKING OH, GOSH, EVERYONE IS AMAZING. BECAUSE I FIND THAT QUITE
TERRIFYING. I'M QUITE HAPPY IF SOMEONE IS
NOT THAT GREAT BECAUSE THEN YOU START THINKING IT MIGHT BE ME. >> YEAH, THE WORST IN THE ACTING
DEPARTMENT. I WAS DOUBLABLY SCARED. NOT ONLY THAT BECAUSE I WAS HAD
AN AMERICAN ACCENT. >> James: YOUR ACCENT IS SO
GOOD. >> WELL, THANK YOU, THAT IS VERY
KIND. BUT I WAS REALLY SCARED. I HADN'T DONE IT BEFORE. I HAD DONE IT ONCE ON AGE
IN-- STAGE IN LONDON BUT IT'S HARD. >> James: YEAH. >> IT HELPS THAT EVERYONE IS
AROUND YOU, BUT I'M ALSO NOT ONE OF THOSE ACTORS, I PROBABLY
SHOULD BE. I DON'T TALK IN THE ACCENT ALL
THE TIME, SOME ACTORS DO. >> James: YEAH, I THINK THAT
WOULD BE A BIT SILLY. >> YEAH, BIZARRE. >> James: BUT THAT'S NOT
ENOUGH, SUCCESSION IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SHOWS ON TV. YOU ALSO HAVE YOUR BRIL YNT NEW
SHOW, "QUIZ" WHICH HAS ALREADY BEEN ON AT HOME. AND HAS BEEN ONE OF THE BIGGEST
SUCCESSES OF THE YEAR. IT IS NOW ON IN AMERICA. FOR ANYONE THAT DOESN'T KNOW,
TELL THEM ABOUT QUIZ AND WHO YOU PLAY. >> SO QUIZ IS THE STORY OF THIS
COUPLE WHO GO ON-- AT THAT TIME WAS THE MOST, THE BIGGEST GAME
SHOW ON THE PLANET. SCWIL ONS OF PEOPLE WATCHED IT,
AND ITS WITH A BIG DEEM, I THINK IT STARTED IN LATE 90S HEE,
EARLY 2,000. AND THEY GO ON THE SHOW AND ARE
VERY SORT OF MIDDLE CLASS, SRN TYPE OF ENGLISH COUPLE. AND THEY GO ON AND THEY WIN THE
MILLION. OVER TWO NIGHTS. AND THEY TURN TURNS OUT THAT THE
PRODUCTION COMPANY WHO MADE THE SHOW SMELL A RAT. AND THEY DECIDE TO YOU WILL KA
THE POLICE. THEY THINK THEY CHEATED BECAUSE
HIS BEHAVIOR ON THE SECOND NIGHT IS SORT OF ERRATIC AND ODD AND
THEY DON'T LIKE IT AND THINK SOMETHING IS UP. THE POLICE GET INVOLVED AND THEY
ARE ARRESTED AND IT GOES TO TRIAL. AND AND THAT IS THE STORY. AND IT IS VERY CLEVERLY DONE BY
THE DIRECT ARE, AND JAMES GRAHAM, THE WRITER. VERY SORT OF REALLY, IN A VERY
BRILLIANT NUANCED WAY BECAUSE YOU SEE THE IRNG RAMS AND
PRODUCERS OF THE SHORT AND IT IS THE COURT ROOM DRAMA IT IS GOOD
FUN. >> James: IT IS A BRILLIANT
SHOW. AND I REMEMBER THAT TIME THE
HOME SO VIVIDLY. NOW YOU ACTUALLY GOT TO MEET
CHARLES INGRAM, THE CHARACTER YOU PLAY IN THE SHOW. WHAT WAS IT LIKE WHEN YOU MET
HIM? DO YOU THINK HE IS CAPABLE OF
CHEATING? WELL, WE MET THEM VERY BRIEFLY
ON THE LAST DAY OF SHOOTING. IT IS SO ODD, SO BUT THEY WERE
LOVELY. THEY WERE REALLY SWEET, SO THAT
THAT WAS SORT OF FINEMENT BUT I'M SORT OFFING AS NO TUCK. I DON'T KNOW, I REALLY DON'T
KNOW WHAT THEY DID IT. AND I SORT OF DON'T MIND NOT
KNOWING. OR I DON'T MIND IF THEY DID OR
THEY DIDN'T. DO YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN. WHAT I FOUND REALLY FASCINATINGS
WITH NAIR RELATIONSHIP THROUGHOUT IT BECAUSE THEIR LIES
WERE TOTALLY EYE-- THEY SORT-OF, I MEAN I THINK IT IS FAIR TO SAY
THEY PROBABLY SUFFERED DISPROPORTIONATELY TO THE CRIME
THEY WERE ACCUSED OF. THEY WERE REALLY VILIFIED IN THE
PRESS SWRZ FOR SURE, THERE WAS A REAL MOMENT OF TIME WHERE THEY
WERE THE MOST FAMOUS COUPLE IN THE COUNTRY. I HAVE HEARD FROM SOME PEOPLE
THAT THEY THINK THEY CHEATED BUT NOT IN THE WAY THAT THEY WERE
ACCUSED OF. THE SHOW IS BRILLIANT. YOU AS ALWAYS ARE FANTASTIC IN
IT. IT SAY REALLY GREAT WATCH. LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT A CLIP FROM
QUIZ, THE FINAL EPISODE AIRS THIS SUNDAY AT 9:00 ON A M.C. >> I HAVEN'T, NO, I NEVER HEARD
OF A SCHOOL GULL. >> THAT IS NOT THE ANSWER. >> KU GOOGLE. >> YEAH, I MEAN I ACTUALLY THINK
IT ST A GOOGLE BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT A GOOGLE IS. >> James: IT IS SO GOOD. STICK AROUND, MORE WITH MATTHEW
WHEN WE COME BACK. HAVE BEEN DOING THIS THING WHILE
WE ARE LOCKED DOWN IN THE "LATE, LATE SHOW" AND TELL, WE ASK OUR
GUESTS IF THEY WOULD SHARE SOMETHING FROM THEIR HOME WITH
US THAT WE MAY OTHERWISE NEVER GET TO SEE. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU WOULD
LIKE TO SHARE WITH US TONIGHT? >> WELL, I DO. NOW THAT YOU ASK. I HAVE TWO THINGS. I'VE GOT TWO THINGS. JUST ONE VERY QUICKLY, THIS IS
FROM NICK WHO PLAYS COUSIN GREG, GAVE EVERYBODY A MUG. FROM SEE-- SEASON ONE. >> James: LOOK AT THAT. >> SO THAT IS IN HONOR OF NICK. >> James: IS HE SO BRILLIANT. >> YEAH, HE'S VERY TALL. >> James: HE SAY TALL MAN,
THERE IS NO DENYING IT. >> AND IN THIS BLUE BOX MY, OUR
MAKEUP LADY ON QUIZ, OUR MAKEUP DESIGNER DREW KENDRICK WHO IS AN
ABSOLUTE GENIUS, DEAD EYE MIND TRICKED ME INTO GETTING THESE
MADE, AND I WAS QUITE RESISTANT IN THE BEGINNING. BUT I'M SO GLAD I DID, BECAUSE
AS AN ACTOR YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE WHEN YOU PUT ON A CERTAIN
CLOTHING OR SOMETHING AND SOMETHING UNLOCKEDS. THESE SORT OF DID IT FOR ME. >> James: LOOK AT THAT, THERE
HE IS. THERE IS CHARLES INGRAM. >> YEAH. AND CAN I SAVE THEM FOR MY
CREEPY VICAR. >> James: I WAS JUST ABOUT TO
SAY YOU LACK LIKE IN A SKETCH SHOW A CREEPY PRIEST, WELL,
THANK YOU FOR SHARING, THAT'S AMAZING. REFNLGIE, DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION
FOR ANY OF OUR GUESTS THIS EVENING. >> Reggie: I DO. TONIGHT'S QUESTION GOES TO,

EVER WALKED DOWN A ROAD OF IMPOSSIBILITY AND REALIZED THAT
IF YOU ARE WALKING ON THAT ROAD, THEN NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE? >> YES, EVERY DAY, AS MY
ATHLEISUREWARE GETS TIGHTER AND TIGHTER. >> James: REGGIE? >> Reggie: THAT'S CORRECT. >> James: IT'S ABSOLUTELY
