, no, but you see, that's actor Michael Sheen trying to be Chris Tarrant, so that's my casino time, yes, but he is being Christian for 20 years. They haven't been nice for years, Damon, you see, you might need to call a friend, but this is definitely Michael Sheen playing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire host Chris Tarrant, the 50-year-old Welsh actor who went blonde for his role in the upcoming ITV drama competition. recreates Terrance's arrival at court to give evidence in a trial against knife cheating contestants this was 2001 this is Charles Ingram this is the cough major or whatever just remind me if that show ever actually aired not because we stopped it we stopped the control and You stopped the program if you had seen it because it was in a documentary.

I feel like I'm just hoping, I mean, I'm Michael Sheen at Pride of Britain. Now this guy has been watching tapes of me for weeks and suddenly there's something big. lump hits him on the shoulder forever yes, it's very strange, do you force him? You know? I didn't force him to do it. I just hope, I mean, I'm excited that he's doing it. He's probably an actor. I just hope he doesn't do this kind of thing. Rory Bremner, do you know that stuff? I do not think you know it. He is a very good actor. He has done it.

He has done it for all the defrosters in Bangkok. Tony Blair alone, but yes, Christo, yes, yes, well, people are a bit strange, since you have all the doorknobs. I became a little eccentric. He was younger. I mean, I just hope because I saw the original play in Chester. I just hope they don't give too much importance to the fact that the major could be innocent. I've been sitting so many hours with the police and the main show tapes fraud team is so guilty it's like what he locked himself into it's like he forgot about it yeah and they ended him for an insurance scam in court a few weeks after that, okay and when it was actually happening. you send that back - no, no, because you know there were a lot of things, especially guys who won a million pounds, yeah, this is huge, you know, people roar, people scream, people cough like that, everyone coughs in the studio because They are like locked up, well, I didn't have one. idea that they showed that Martin Bashir documentary and removed all the sound, yeah, except me, the eldest and the chest, aha, now if you see that you think it's completely stupid, I mean, it wasn't like that.

They, they, put the producer together and I came up with something fantastic, what an incredible man. I mean, God knows what he was doing. I mean, what an amazing contestant, but you know, he's crazy, but the Braves, who I shout out to, crash and burn, crash and burn and everything. This, if so, you've done this with me a couple of times, if you ask the five hundred thousand plan question, you're playing for a million. I'm telling you, Eamonn Holmes, you've got £500,000 if you go for the next one and get it. true, true, in the movie, but if you're wrong, you lose 450,000, yes, everyone else and that, during these ten years, you see that money, except they only thought about this months later in the main word, yes, okay , let's play because he.

I knew I was going to act and I knew I was going to do well, I knew I was going to make millions of pounds, well look, it's the drama you'll see on ITV next year, meanwhile, on Monday 25 November, a new series and you're figuring out, these are at an amazing rate extreme real forms real forms of the Western Front so this is about the first world war, you know, we did the big war in the Holocaust last year, yeah, which is quite gloomy, we don't want about the world war, the railways alone in 1914 there were huge railway networks all over Europe and the UK so what it was basically was a constant conveyor belt of men for sacrifice and when you actually go through the First War World, it was just horrible, this waste of luck, you wouldn't send your son away from war no, you see, now we know everything about war, see how many movies we know, whatever you do, 14 he said, oh, let's go out to fight the hum, they have never been abroad, they had no idea what. they kept walking, I've had it in a way and I think you're very good at this and I think history would back you up on this that we knew what World War II was about, yes, and why we had to leave, but anyone to be.

I have no idea that I spent half this year researching the First World War, reading, writing and filming, and I don't realize that that's what 16 million died, most of them under 20, blown to pieces and I have no idea why, well, the trenches, yeah, they're horrible, but you had to do it, I mean, I'm a big guy. I'd like to keep my head like this because if you vote yes, that's how they'll shoot you. We filmed a sequence with what was then 4,000 young miners in Northumberland working now, they've never been overseas, most of these guys never went through all the 17, 18, 19, they've never been overseas and they left there very excited the first day they saw more than 4,000 young miners in Northumberland, two thousand five hundred died, incredible.

They estimate that there are still three hundred thousand unfound bodies under the sole waste of lives well, what a waste of like and I learned an interesting thing and I forgot why not all railway lines are the same size and I saw a documentary recently it was probably yours and He explained it to me yes, you can tell me that this had to do with the bite for an hour and a half and what the Romans were, that's exactly how wide the Romans were on all the roads in Europe and Britain. and then the real waste took hold and they made them the size of a Roman cart, but therefore the Romans were not in America, so the Americans made their trains of different gauges.

I still have Netflix in heaven. I knew it, obviously, and the heavens watch game shows, baby. what I did about 700 and watch myself twice, I still intend to watch Jeremy, whatever, but I was in a tent when you know because I sleep outside fishing, all those things can do that, you just sleep out in the open and I can eat things and testify that I should do it right now I don't know how the phrase is definitely a name one would understand this I can't stand people I don't know I just say be nice I couldn't stop it's nice see you on Monday between channel five at nine thanks it's good to see you
