It' D this M This is the final waterard call for David Morrisy. This is the final morning call for David Morrisy. C David Morrisy, please make your awareness gay. This is the final waterard call for David Morrisy, David Morrisy. Please make awareness gay. The fly is about to take off B off L Look who we've got on board. David Morrisy, how you doing David? I'm very well, very well, very pleased to be here.such a privilege to be with you. Thank you. I noticed you've been looking at my books over there. Yeah. well, it's a wonderfulook read, did you? It's a wonderful book collection. I always think you can se so much about peopleop's bookshelves,? Well they're actually they're just a VHS video. They're like you pull one out and they all come at once. Yeah They're like Come downing with me, Dickinson's real bargain on. No, you've read that one, Store a murder. That's brilliant. ye,, that's wonderful. It' brilliant, how hundred five as well. I love a true crime. Yeah. And also she approaches those subjects which have usually had a male narrative attached to them But she comes at it from the female point of view, like five is all about the five victims of Jack the Ripper, but really goes in depth into their lives and who they were. and she makes them people rather than just numbers in a sort of a crime investigation, you know? Because I think Annie Chapman, you know, you think she's a sex worker and a prostitute, but it shows you back then if you had misfortune like her husband worked for Queen Victoria at Windsor People who fell on hard times. Y. And then he was abusive and drun re beater and she had to there's no social services. Yeahes. I mean, fascinating but I really recommend it. I think it'd be nice to be made into a music.o told you that? It just came to me. No, you said that and I think David said it would make a really good musicical. left field musical. I just think that the five women in it who are so sort of idiosyncratic and wonderful and really and also Victorian London so atmospheric and Swetly Td, look at that musical. That's a really grim subject Well, American Psycho they did recently Yeah brilliant as well. So you know, I don't think we need to shy away from that. I'm a big musical fan so I do think it'll be great. Are you sort of hinting at me being Jack the Ripper in this musical? I wasn't, but you know, it's up for grabs, you know, anything that. ripper Anthing that brings the investment Oh wait there, Hollywood's calling. Yeah. What are you doing? George? you are sweet. snuggling up I snuggling up. what's your favourite musical then? Oh God. I can't see you singing along. Do you ever do like them sound a music? We address as a nun? No, I've not done that.''ve done those interactive ones. I'd love to do that, but I've not done them. estideory I love Westide Story. I love the I didn't love the recent film, the Spielberg film. I I'm a big fan of the original film, which I think is wonderful you know, So that's great. But I mean, cararousel I think is a really weird. I recently went to see Lees Mers and I had never seen it. No. I'd never seen it. So I went about a year ago and I thought, o this story, I know what it's like And I went, I was taken there for my birthday and blown away by it. I thought, Oh my God, I don't know this show. I know the numbers. Yeah I don't know the story. I never I didn't see the film What links all these people together And I thought it was just wonderful. I was blown away by it. So late to the party but really loved it. Well, listen, you're not in a musical, but you are in what sounds like an absolutely amazing thriller on channel four, Tipte, written by Russell T. Davis and ex produced by Nicola Schindler. Yeah. I mean, that's going to be quality, isn't it? Yeah, just that the people involved was the first thing I really wanted to sort of, you know My interest, Russell, I've worked with on Who I did a doctor who years ago, but I've known him and I just adore his work. Nicola I've worked with as well both as an actor and a producer myself and just loved her But also it' starars Alan Cumming, who's been one of my best friends for the last forty years. So it's really amazing to work with them. The material is very dark, it's very difficult to watch, I think. It's also very You know, it's about the divisions in society today and the need to blame others for your own sort of predicament really And it's set in Manchester. Allen plays a guy in Manchester who runs a Cub in Canal Street He's sort of struggling because he's a small businessman really and you know, for all the difficulties that people are facing. He lives next door to me in Manchester and I'm an electrician, but I'm down on hard times. I'm sort of Lost my job, My kids are growing up My marriage is not in a good place and I sort of become radicalized by far right really. and Allan becomes the target of my aggression and my anger really. Because Russell T. Davy says it's his angriest work yet. And he says it's going to be called woke by colossal degree and stuff because The thing is we woke, no one actually knows what it is, but I mean, I think what the original woke was looking out for people, marginalised people and being on their side, I think it's just that word' just been made into something. It's aur, isn't it? Yeah now it's a term to close down argument, I think Yeah, you know, whereereas what Russell is trying to do is bring this to the forefront of our a debate really of saying, look, this is where we're going. If we're not even if we haven't arrived there already, which I think we have in a sense that we're not looking after each other. There's a wonderful bit where Allan confronts me and says you'll believe everything you read on the internet, but you won't believe me. yourour neighbor for the last twelve years, someone who you know, you won't believe what I say in my lived experience, but you'll believe all this nonsense that you get amplified on the internet. and that's true of my character. E every sort of conspiracy theory has or sort of strange notion, he goes on the internet and it's amplified in his head you know, sort of, he he gets verification for it on the internet and then he lives with that sort of certainty, even though the evidence in front of him is not that The trouble with conspiracy theories is they go too far, I feel. because there was a man who came, I don't want to be too specific but did some work at the house and he's a bit of a conspiracy theories. And it starts off all right. And then he started saying that there is people who live in the South Pole twelve feet tall and a master race and I was like, oh here we go. But I bet if you looked at that up on the internet, there'll be loads of people saying yes, you're right.'ve se I'm doing an interview with one of them after this. So findem on be podcast. Anything you want confirm will be on there. Yeah It's weird, isn't it crazy. what Tell us a conspiracy theory you believe. You believe the world's flat No, I don't believe the world's flat. And I do believe that we went to the moon. I mean, I think some people don't. I mean, clever people, you go. Yeah. Well there's a great bit Buzz Aldrom where he this guy confronts him And just keeps going up to him saying, you know you never went to the moon. Nobody's ever been to the moon. And then at one point he says to Buz Aldrren, you sir are a liar. And Buzz Aldrren just turns around and punches him right the face. And you're so pleased. It's br. So you know, because it's also insulting at the bottom of the day. You're calling someone a liar who's done it. put all that training out of the moon. I think conspiracy theories have always been with us, but the idea now of social media and X or whatever is they get amplified to the and degree. and that's the difficulty is the fact that everything you want, you can start any rumour. You know, it's always that thing of bad news will be around the world before the truth has got his boots on. you know, that'sue with the internet, that's even more true, you know, So it's very. Have you heard that thing that I'm married to a woman, Ive got four kids? No, no, but I've seen that. I have seen them in your house this morning. Yeahah, I'm darling Darling Joanna's popped out.et some laingerie for tonight, Victoria's Secrets. wasas it Steak and BJ Night? When is that you remember that used to be? Oh, I don't remember that. I call my fit. How do I know about it? I don't know Oh God. Aake. Steak and a be J night. That was something. Was it something word? What is this? Joanne. My wife loves it. She says she wishes it was everyday. My Dy cow This you won't believe this. someomeone sent me a screen grab. My feet is on a celebrity what's it called footfish. gotot four point one five out of five. That's not bad. They've taken a screen grab of me on a one of those inflatable machine table of the people who are above and below. No, no, no. I don't really want it on my research engine my history. Qion my mum said, I J just want to book some train tickets dirty feet ye. Look your nail Oh, Alan, look at the state of your Vveruca. I've booked you into a podiatry Soelissa, we've got to talk about travel Now Listen, we all some of us can't afford to go all over the place, these fancy places. Let's start at the beginning, because you love Liverpool, don't you? Tell us a hidden gem or some of that people must do in Liverpool. I love Liverpool. and whenever I'm up there touring, I' always got a formbe Yeah, Thornby iss lovely. I mean, that coastline actually from Liverpool to Southport and there's a place called Freshfields up there and Fomby Beach and all that it's really a wonderful coastline And also Liverpool itself now. I mean, when I grew up, the city council really hadn't sort of twigged to the fact that they had one of the greatest tourist attractions in the world, which was the Beatles. They literally didn't do anything, you know And then they suddenly in the eighties and nineties, they suddenly thought, Ohh we can monetorize this. So suddenly there was a Beatles Museum, places like John and Paul's house became national Tust places. Th there was this magical mystery tour of Liverpool and stuff. And now they're really sort of selling it quite right. Is there a hotel called the Ea sububmarine? There's a hotel called the Beatles hotel. and instead of saying, you know where you put your saying do not disturb. they say let it be, you know I see what That's clever. And on the breakfast five stars trip advisor. It know sex is my feet, but the breakfast menu you can get instead of you can get a day kipper and stuff. So yeah, there's lots of things like that all over the place. But you're very easily pleased. I love a pond tpe. But the city itself is great and it's always got the river And I think it's a place where the town developments, the inner city developments have been really well done on the most part. And I think it's a beautiful, that's U again growing up The whole dockside was just derelict really. t up there now And now this t's Liverpool Museum, but all along there. Part of the start of that, really was this morning. So when Richard and Judy were Oh yeah, and they were on the dock side And that sort of rejuvenated that started making that dockside area a little bit more sort of tourists would go, people would recognize it, they would seek it out, and then the tate happened and then other things. But the city itself affected it really? Yeah, it really is. And you know, if you build it, they will come. But also people are looked after that. I think it's you know, Noriously a very friendly city, but it is a great place to go as a destination And is it you you're in that Beetles biopic I am it's not about it's a it's a Four Beatles films, Sam Menis is directing them and it's all about each one has taken the life of one of the Beatles. Wow. Would you playing it? Can you tell me? Yes, I can. I play Paul McCartney's dad, Jim. Oh Yeah yeah. That's all I can tell you. Yeah of course. Have you read that amazing book? Is it four three two one? I have read that. I wasn't wild about that boy. Why not? I just thought it was allright. I thought it was anecdotal. The book I really love is John and Paul which is the one that's just come out, which is about the relationship between the two of them, which is fantastic But yeah, I like Craig Brown. I think he's great. But that book in the end though was a bit like Do I really want to know about everybody else who was on, you know sort of the Dd Sullivan S showow when the Beatles were on it? Not really. Beause I watched that documentary on Apple Getack. Yeah, that's brilliant. Oh my god, that is. I mean I've watched that about three times. when they're trying out, they've got to songs haven't they for in a fortnight's time they're going to play it live and Paul McCartney is going D no no Let's get back. but he hes he just starts picking out. you know, Iess Just seeing how they worked. I mean, what they would do is just one of them would start a riff and the other one would join in and that could go on for ages and justust that I thought was wonderful. Ringo just looks bored at the back, didn't it? Yeah, but he's the glue isn't he?s the person who brings them all together. He's always the first one into the rehearsal room, which is weird. But he's also always there there's a really heartbreaking bit when Ringo and Paul are sitting there waiting for John and George and Paul just says And then there was two And you're like, oh my God, And there is only two of them now. You know, that was really weird. But yeah, I lo that documentary and watched it endlessly. ye. So listen, let's talk about travel What's your first holiday memory So yeah, Liverpool obviously be, you know, where we would go is the Wales really, we would always go over to Wales. Southport was a day trip. We would go to South Port and be on the arcades and stuff. the great thing about South Port is the The sea never comes in. so you've got this beach that goes on for miles pool was sort of of a place of, you know, maybe a day trip and sort of a lovely sort of treat But a holiday staying away from home Proably go somewhere like Rill or Pthelly or somewhere like that that North Wales coast We might get a chalet there or a caravan or something like that. and we'd be there And I have fond memories of that. Also Land Dudno we went to Land Dudno once and I'm very I'm like The youngest of four So when we went on holiday, my sister might have come with us, but usually it was just my mom and dad and me And my brothers were gone by then. they were sort of a college or whatever. And yeah, I have really fond memories of that. That was very, you know, North Wales was the coastline for us. That's not my IBS, by the way They're building a bloody flipping was s it cold Yeah maybe. they're building a swimming pool, are they? No Someone in this road has got a swimming ple. Really?

He has this thing called Club Coming, which is amazing. and he's been doing that since he did cabaret So when he did Cabaret, which he did for I mean For For decades, I think he did it for, you know, on and off in his dressing room t the end, he had so many people who would come and see the show. He'd open up his dressing room and that became this thing called Club Coming. and it got it grew from there. and now it has a few I think it has one permanent venue, but it's sort of a floating sort of night as well. Yeah ye. And it's so brilliant and You know, the show was fantastic, but the experience afterwards was brilliant. So yeah, he is a bit of an entrepreneur. But when I visited him in New York Yeah, there's it's always party central. Does he always wear those clothes? Is he always has he ever worn tracky bees or ever seen him? Yeah he he works Yeah, he does dress down, but he likes his clothes and he does all that. I mean I remember I think he looks fabulous. Yeah. I remember going to his celebrity. I remember going to his wedding And I was sitting on a table and Monica Lewinsky sat next to me. Oh have. And that was great. really. And she was so wonderful and funny and great. And that was a good time But yeah Alan is very plugged in with celebrity you know, he knows a lot of celebrities as good friends, you know, so that's funny, know what're saying because going back to what we're saying about Tiptoe and stuff. you know, I watched that documentary of Monica Lewinsky. She got put through the ringer. No she And it does take two to t Isn't it and she? Yeah, but she was a young I mean, she was a young. Yes an intern wasn't she? Just really. She got so much stick, all the jokes and everything and that poor young girl. Well there was a American crime story did a drama about it and you do think God this person was just Le right and center people just let her down, let her down. know She had great friends who just betrayed her and you know, and this this man obviously, you know, a man in such power sort takaking such advantage of her. No, she is. But again, she also has a podcast which is brilliant, which is about sort of people who have taken on the world and rediscovered themselves and sort of fought it and she's brilliant. So check. Oh my God, that's amazing. Yeah. She's a wonderful, wonderful. That was weird. That woman saying pop the dress in the freezer with the You know what on it. That's disgusting because I don't like it when I've got jacket potatoes in the m. I don't know where we're going with this Okay. I can have a I can say a sentence without a rude word in it Okay Forg sake. Well I mean I just it's like Alam Bingo here. I think. How many How can we go without a? Please, this is insulting.

It was been in cupoard more longer than the paprika in the back. It looked like soil, admitted. it didn't soil. And I was so embarrassed. It had one of those shoplifting stickers on it. So you think I've just nicked it. Definitely. Well, I'm not drinking it, I'm gonna nick it. Why should I pay for it? Somebody had gifted it to you when you said you were opening a spa I Coffee shop.

Charles Dickens is a big fan, Sent me that. What's been your most extravagant holiday So I did go to u The Maldives. Oh I'd been working really hard and I was quite stressed And I don't know why I did it in that b. We're allowed to our own act. We're not allowed to say stress We're not allowed to say stress so we have to put a little bit But yeah it was real You can't say first world problems anymore because the world has gone very dark now. You feel like if you moan with I can only tell certain people about my castle getting a free hot tub. Yeah someome people like, I can't believe. what am I supposed to have a hot tub in my castle? The probably Alan, you sound like a dick. Yeah. The problems of your neighbor building a swimming pool next door. Oh God, am I just am I not relatable anymore? No We've lost it. I've lost it. honestly. I'm just like so deluded. swap Mean Markle. Anyway. Yeah, so I booked the Maldives. I very much last minute booked the Maldives and that was quite extravagant. And the only thing about it was it was a lovely holiday apart from the fact that the whole time I was there I was thinking, I can't believe how much this is cost I couldn't enjoy it. I kept thinking, Ohh my go, I've got to get some work after this. What's going happen? Oh my go. How much is this how much is that? You know sort sort of skimping on things and stuff. And it was just really weird Yeah, I didn't love it. I didn't love the fact that something had cost me so much money I did feel uncomfortable. You get guilt, I suppose. You do get a bit of guilt. got guilt and I just felt that it was a bit too Yeah tri. Yeah, yeah. You do a lot of travel with UNHR on noNHCR, which is with the tax people HMRC. I do I don't tell them I you doing a lot of traveling. I knew this bloody because it's for the United Nations. Yeah It's not catchy, is it the acronym UNHCI. So I've been with them for a long time. Good will ambassador for them. I yes, and I've been You know, what's happening at the moment really distressing for many reasons, but I've been in Lebanon a lot. I've spent a lot of time in Lebanon and have some great great friends. How' do you feel when you see the news? It's heartbrok Re heartbrok and just, you know, sort of I've been in touch with a few my friends, but couple of them haven't got back to me yet. so all about really. God. So that's been really stressful. And also then went to Jordan with UNHCR to refugee camps there And yeah, I've done a lot of work for them. And then I was in a place called Qata, which is in the border it it's in Pakistan on the border of Afghanistan And there's a place there where they're educating. they've got these universities which are holding places for Afghan girls, women and girls to come and complete their education because of course they weren't allowed They weren allowed to have they weren'towed to their education. So that's what they're providing there as well as, you know, just the basics for living, you know, for your making ends meet and sort of eating and drinking and shelter and stuff. There's education programs that are happening there as well. So they do amazing work. but as you say, the world is such a scary place at the moment. I haven't done a trip like that for a while U but it's it's is, you know, it's work that constantly needs we need to be doing and here as well and you know, sort of, looking at the goes back to tiptoe, doesn't it misinformation? misinformation about refugees and stuff Yeah and also people who are the worst of people. Yeah, and being fed this lies, you know, and sort of it is sort of baiting and sort of, you know, it's sort of Getting people to sort of believe the worst of other people in order to attack them and sort of then create power backacu for you, you know I mean, doing this with the UN and stuff, has there ever been a moment where actually something amazing has happened because I mean, it must be so stressful, it must be heartbreaking, but as anything Is there a moment where you went o I'm just trying to find some. So many so many so many stories that you hear of people who have got to safety, what they've done, how they've You know, rescue their families, what they've been through. that has been amazing You know, I was in Egypt and sort of the stories of how people are sort of surviving refugees they're taking people in there, you know, and thoseose stories were amazing. And then there you are with the pyramids and round So yeah, I mean, I do I think it's really important to step out of our world, our comfort world and sort of see what people are going through in a very real sense I mean, the other two charities I work for is I work for a refuge which is a domestic abuse charity, you know, sort of violence against women and girls. here in the UK and what they're doing, they're building these safe houses. What you forget is that, you know If you're partarticularly after COVID, you know, being confined space where people we love was bad enough. You know, imagine being in confined space with your abuser You know, suddenly that was ratcheted up and safe spaces for women to escape to But ifve got if you've got a pet or you've got a teenage son then you can't really get away. So it's creating domestic spaces for them, safe refuges for people who, you know don't have a ready means to escape. you know, they've got to find different ways to escape.
