Initial segment<\/h3>\n

Christine: Hello, welcome to your Friday one show with Adrian Chiles<\/p>\n

Adrian: And Christine Blakely and the comedian turned actor in whose honour I’m wearing these. Pardon me. Let me do a bit of this. (pulls braces)<\/p>\n

Christine: Rock on Chilesy. It’s Bobby Ball.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Fantastic, come on, fantastic (mimes braces)<\/p>\n

Adrian: Where are they?<\/p>\n

Bobby: Well, after 46 years of doing this, this bust is 1 foot bigger than this, right. So I\u2019lve had to stop it, you see<\/p>\n

Adrian: Well, to mark John Terry’s departure from the England football captain’s role and your appearance on The One Show, Bobby, we’ve decided to have a bit of spot the ball fun tonight. OK, spot the Bobby Ball actually.<\/p>\n

Christine: Yeah, here’s a picture of the ex England captain, we’ve hidden Bobby Ball somewhere in this picture. Now this is just for fun. You don’t have to e-mail us or anything else. But we want you to see if you can spot the ball. All the family can take part in this little bit of fun. We’ll give you the answer at the end of the show.<\/p>\n

Adrian: Look closely now. We’ll be speaking to Bobby later about the role in The Fattest Man in Britain. Widely acclaimed.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Yes. It’s not me. I’m not the fattest man in Britain<\/p>\n

Adrian: No, you’re his mate.<\/p>\n

After a feature about old cinemas<\/h3>\n

Christine: It is sad. Bobby isn’t it, those beautiful old picture houses.<\/p>\n

Bobby: I think they\u2019re absolutely gorgeous. We had one in my village called the Pavilion<\/p>\n

Adrian: Where was that?<\/p>\n

Bobby: In Shaw, just outside of Oldham. It were like that, beautiful, and they had double seats where you could sit with your girlfriend? But there were always three of us, me, the girlfriend and the fleas. It was a beautiful place. Yeah. Loved it.<\/p>\n

Adrian: And what happened?<\/p>\n

Bobby: Pulled it down didn\u2019t they<\/p>\n

Adrian: No, no what happened with the girl?<\/p>\n

Bobby: Oh I can\u2019t tell you\u2026 That’s enough now.<\/p>\n

Adrian: Have to use our imagination<\/p>\n

Bobby: I married her actually.<\/p>\n

Foodie Friday and interview<\/h3>\n

Christine: Well, finally this is my favourite part of foodie Friday. Your recommendation for a tasty treat for the weekend. What is it this weekend then?<\/p>\n

Jay: It’s cockles, but not the cockles that we are used to vinegar in a little plastic pot. This is fresh cockles in the shell, which are a marvellous, marvellous thing. I think they’re as good as clams, but they’re half the price. They’re sustainable and we send most of these out to Spain. They are fabulous. Bobby, when you went in the jungle you ate some very strange appendages. You can say no. I won’t be hurt.<\/p>\n

Bobby: I’m saying no.<\/p>\n

Adrian: I’ll have a cockle with you, Jay<\/p>\n

Jay: Thank you very much, Adrian. I’m touched.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Let me have a go<\/p>\n

Jay: They are very, very easy to cook. You just pretty much heat up a pan, throw in an onion, sautee it, then throw these on top, put the lid on. There you go.<\/p>\n

Christine: It’s all about for this weekend. Thank you. Very much, Jay<\/p>\n

Adrian: Well, Bobby’s also here to talk about food, in a manner of speaking. Doesn’t like the cockles. Never mind.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Ohh man<\/p>\n

Jay: Don’t you dare criticise my cockles<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bobby: I’m not saying nothing. Aw man.<\/p>\n

Adrian: Bobby\u2019s performance in the drama, the Fattest Man in Britain, alongside Timothy Spall, earned him some well deserved rave reviews.<\/p>\n

(Clip from The Fattest Man in Britain)<\/p>\n

Christine: Your character is kind of a sidekick, bit of an agent I suppose<\/p>\n

Bobby: I was his manager, yes. He wanted to be the fattest man in Britain, so I fed him up because I was his manager. I looked after him.<\/p>\n

Adrian: It\u2019s the first proper kind of acting role. It’s taken you a long time to get round to it or them a long time to getting around to asking you. You were brilliant.<\/p>\n

Bobby: This year\u2019s me and Tommy, 46 years together, me and Tommy, and it’s a long time and they asked me, they got in touch with my manager and it were Caroline Aherne and said she’d written this part especially for me and would I be interested in doing it. And I met her and Jeff Pope, and read the part I thought was fantastic. So yeah. But I was nervous, I mean, when you get with these people, I was very nervous, but they was wonderful with me, they just helped me out and everything.<\/p>\n

Christine: Timothy Spall, who’s been on the show before, is a great actor. Did he help you then along the way with the hints?<\/p>\n

Bobby:\u00a0 Unbelievable, all the time. All the time. Yeah, just little things he helped, and you know, put me at ease. Bit like today, with Captain Pugwash here, I felt fantastic.<\/p>\n

Adrian: So it’s Spall and Ball<\/p>\n

Bobby: Spall and Ball. Fantastic. Spall and Ball.<\/p>\n

Adrian: So what did you find difficult about acting then? How was it a different kind of craft?<\/p>\n

Bobby: I found, yeah, there was one little part where he says he don’t want to be the fattest man anymore. And I had to get very upset about it and I didn’t know how to do that. So you just spent time, and I thought of something very sad in my life and it made me cry. So it worked. So you\u2019ve just \u00a0gotta think of certain things that suits the mood, you know? So, yeah, it was excellent.<\/p>\n

Adrian: And you like to do more now.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Oh, I want to do more. If anybody’s listening, I want to do more. More acting. Yeah. Yeah. I’m an actor. Thespian.<\/p>\n

Christine: But you haven’t left the comedy behind.<\/p>\n

Bobby: Oh, no, no, I couldn’t leave that behind, no.<\/p>\n

Christine: No, no. How is Tommy?<\/p>\n

Bobby: I’ve gotta keep with him. He keeps having kids. So I’ve gotta keep working. He’s doing alright. He’s a good lad.<\/p>\n

Adrian: The Fattest Man in Britain is is out on DVD now<\/p>\n
