1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,320
Speaker 2: Gam Nation Well. The Duchess of York. Sarah Ferguson has

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,480
Speaker 2: co hosted as a one off a television show in

4
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: the UK. This is a show that most of us

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,239
Speaker 2: would never have heard of except for what's gone on

6
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: in that show in the recent years. The show is

7
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 2: called This Morning, hugely popular show hosted by Holly Willoughby

8
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: and Phillip Schofield until recently. Philip Schofield a couple of

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: years ago came out on the show and said I've

10
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 2: been married for twenty five years, I've got grown children,

11
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: but actually I'm gay, and everyone embraced him and said,

12
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: thank you for being honest about your truth. He've got

13
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 2: a lot of support through that.

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: Then Joseph's wife, I think his wife is a bit.

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: Well, isn't that hard? So she's had to go and

16
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 2: say yeah, good on you, and that orders go good on.

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: You, good, good on you.

18
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: What happened then was that he and there were lots

19
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: of rumors about this that he denied and then felt

20
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: he had to come clean that he had what he

21
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: said was an ill advised but legal relationship with a

22
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:05,679
Speaker 2: young man who was working on the show. The dispute

23
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,960
Speaker 2: was how young the man was when he started working

24
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,960
Speaker 2: on the show. Philip said he was completely legal, as

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,040
Speaker 2: he said, probably shouldn't have done it, but there was

26
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 2: no ilegalities there. He left the network. His co host

27
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: Holly Willoughby decided that she would stay on and they

28
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 2: had it. They were great mates. And then that all

29
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: fell apart because she felt she'd been lied to through

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: all of that. Then all there was, I think a

31
00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: kidnapping and murder threat. So she's left the show. So

32
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: this is the show that's called This Morning, And I

33
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: read This Morning an article a review of how Sarah

34
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: Ferguson's hosting had gone. Let's read the review and then

35
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 2: let's play a little bit and see what you think.

36
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: This was in The Guardian. In the English Guardian, to

37
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: say This Morning has had a terrible year would be

38
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 2: a ridiculous understatement. In the space of a few months,

39
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 2: the show managed to lose both of us hosts, one

40
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: to a sex scandal, the other to a full blown

41
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 2: murder plot. Dark mutterings of toxic workplaces and dereliction of

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: care have followed the entire operation ever since, and such

43
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: the show is desperate to get us to talk about

44
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: anything else. This might explain what today's episode was co

45
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: hosted by the Duchess of York is Sarah Ferguson, an

46
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: experienced TV presenter. No, she's not. Does she look as

47
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 2: if she ever watched a single episode of daytime TV

48
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,119
Speaker 2: in her life? Also? No, can she read a full

49
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 2: sentence on the basis of her performance today? It's debatable

50
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: to the whole thing stink of a publicity stunt designed

51
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: to purely drawn out the show's obvious death rattle. God yes,

52
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: it says, after all, if your television programme has already

53
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 2: been tainted by a sex scandal, you may as well

54
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: embrace the darkness and hire a woman with links to

55
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: a dead billionaire pedophial. The show, ostensibly guest edited by

56
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 2: Ferguson herself, seemed to delight in putting the Duchess in

57
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: sticky situations. Early on, the subject of King Charles came on,

58
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 2: to which Ferguson babbled, They're very kind, both of them,

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 2: such nice people. Despite the existence of the mirror headline,

60
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: Prince Andrew feels King Charles will cut off the power

61
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: and force him out of his thirty bedroom home. Just

62
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 2: a few months ago, even the softballs through her. As

63
00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 2: an aside, she was asked what Christmas dinners were like

64
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: Buckingham Palace, she was suddenly gripped by an existential terror.

65
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 2: She blurted out such an abstract, abstract stream of consciousness.

66
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:08,640
Speaker 2: Her co host had to slip in and ease her

67
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: back down to her. But they said how much she

68
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 2: struggled with the auto cure, It says here At one

69
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 2: point she jumped in on one line, early stomping over

70
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: her co host to ask herself a question. During another,

71
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,360
Speaker 2: she got a comma mixed up with a full stop

72
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: and temporarily short circuit of herself. And yet, despite everything,

73
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: despite her utter ineptitude and the horrible weight of grubbiness

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: she dragged along with her, there was something weirdly endearing

75
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: about her stint in front of the camera. She watched

76
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 2: a man cook spaghetti carbonara in the same way that

77
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: people watch David Blaine do magic tricks. She'd never seen

78
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: anyone do it before. When she was asked to spin

79
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 2: the wheel competition, she was in charge of spinning the

80
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: wheel and for a moment looked utterly puzzled. It's the

81
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: first time you've ever spun a wheel, They said it is,

82
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: she said, unable to hide her luck at being given

83
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: such a roll. So anyway, when on and on they

84
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: talked about the chaos, there was a phone in segment

85
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: throughout the they said, ambush lingered heavy in the air

86
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: because two live callers called in for advice. I measure

87
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 2: what they could have said. She spoke to both of

88
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 2: them about wearing sexy underwear, she said. They said, at

89
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 2: the end of it, it was incredible to watch. It

90
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 2: gave you the same sort of thrill that you got

91
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: at school whenever a dog broke through a fence and

92
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: ran a muck on a play.

93
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: That was the question about six year old.

94
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Let's get to that. So at the beginning, have a listen.

95
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 2: Here's Sarah, and as they've said, she's not used to

96
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: an autoque. She's friendly, chatty, charming, a little bit off

97
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: the rails. Here's the introduction to the show.

98
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to a special episode of This Morning.

99
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: I'm Sarah, the Duchess of York. I've appeared on this

100
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: program many times, and as an enormous fan of the show,

101
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: I've always enjoyed myself here Today, though, I'm joining the

102
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: family as co host Brackets Fluff alongside Alison and Dermott,

103
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: and as guest editor for the day, I've been working

104
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: with the brilliant team behind the scenes to bring you

105
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 1: some of the topics I'm most passionate about it. I

106
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: hope you enjoy today's show. All that's left for me

107
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520
Speaker 1: to say is run the type.

108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: Certain the closing titles. The second a version of her, well,

109
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: let's get to the advice thing. The first call, Well,

110
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: both of them are about how she should how people

111
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: should go ahead of their love with their love lives,

112
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: and she gave both the same advice.

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 1: You pop down and get the loveliest saucy underwear department

114
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 1: in your in your chest of drawers, and you really

115
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,840
Speaker 1: make the hair, you know, go drive the hair, and

116
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,239
Speaker 1: then have a lovely and take him out on a treat.

117
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: It needs to be more treats that he's lost for

118
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: words to go. And you could say, Darling, I've booked

119
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: your favorite place to climb. I will just be, you know,

00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: just waiting when you come back. You go climb me

00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: and then we can have a lovely weekend with the

122
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: saucy underwear on.

123
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you can hear the sphinctterest tightening of a co host.

124
00:05:57,600 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: It's like she's a you can just put all the

125
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 2: words together. Yeah, you just do random.

126
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: I'm Sarah that I always enjoyed fluff and as an

127
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: enormous fan of socie underwearon all that's left for me

128
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: to say fluff is that her?

129
00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,279
Speaker 2: Or is that just something we made up?

130
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

131
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 2: I can't tell where she ends and she begins.

132
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: She'll be hosting Chipping.

133
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 2: Point and she do a better job than you. Come.

134
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 2: Come on,
