Having your own opinion isn't all that bad even though the things you think and
say might make others get quite mad some people might get angry at the things you
say they just don't see the things you care for in the same way but even if you
disagree let me put your mind at rest to share your thoughts and points of view
really is the best because sometimes it is really good to get these things off
your chest is there something you want to say do
you have something to get off your chest well now is the time to do it because

debenhams do they mind you watching my livestream I'm sure they don't so it is
Sunday it is the 21st of January and can you believe a year ago we were talking
all about Donald Trump in fact it was last January on the 20th of course
it was the day when Donald Trump became the president of the USA so here we are
one year later and there I was last year and that is why my hair looks strange
today fast forward one year and here we are
today life is life can be do you like my Donald Trump hair I think it really does
suit me in fact I might keep it like this all the time because I think it
looks rather nice I look like a teenager so here we go lots of people on the live
chat and of course we can't have the live stream without asking you know
what's coming next what was the view like this morning well let me just tell
you now we had some snow yesterday and also we had some snow this morning look
at that so there it is the view from my window this morning we had some snow yes
more snow can you believe it just a few weeks ago we had lots and lots of snow
and the snow has returned although to be honest the snow is already going it's
already melting so I don't think this particular snow is going to stay for for
very long so there it is the view this morning and we will be going outside
into the snow not live but yesterday mr. Steve and I we both have a lovely
Saturday walk in the snow and you will see that a little bit later on
today so please don't go away stay exactly where you are because there are
lots of things coming today we have questions of course today's
questions do you ever buy a newspaper do you ever buy or read a newspaper and
where do you normally where do normally get your news from so when you
read the news or listen to the news or maybe you do both do you ever buy a
newspaper so many people these days tend to get their news from the internet
sometimes the news is very reliable but sometimes the news is not very reliable
sometimes the news can be inaccurate oh I love that word inaccurate if something
is inaccurate it means it is wrong it is being done mistakenly it is inaccurate
so do you ever read a newspaper it would appear that nowadays because of the
internet fewer and fewer people are reading newspapers so many newspapers
are now suffering because many people are getting their news from this
particular place the Internet would you like to play a very quick game
would you like to play a very very quick game okay it's time now to play spot the
horse can you see the horse can you spot the horse this is a very quick game can
you see the horse oh there it is yes we can all spot the horse so there it was
that was a very quick game the horse is gone now I hope you enjoyed that a very
unusual sight from my window this morning there was a horse running around
on its own of course winter is here at the moment I don't like winter very much
I don't like it when it's wet when it rains I don't mind the snow the snow is
okay but I don't like it when it's cold and raining I hate it so much but there
is some good because in my garden this week I noticed
that there it is the first signs of spring have appeared Oh can you see what
is coming up in my garden yes this week I noticed that the spring flowers are
already coming up so there you can see some daffodils starting to grow in the
garden and I always get very excited when this happens because do you know
why because it means that spring is on the way so because I don't really like
winter very much I don't mind the snow the snow is ok but but but to be honest
with you I always feel very excited when spring starts to arrive and there you
can see some lovely snowdrops can you see the snowdrops very beautiful flowers
so at the moment there are lots of spring flowers beginning to come up so I
feel rather excited about that to be honest and of course one of my most
favorite times of the year is spring however we are still in the throes of
winter sadly winter is still here we had some
snow yesterday and also we had some snow this morning as well but the good news
is that the spring flowers are already they are already starting to emerge oh
there's another nice word emerge if something emerges it starts to appear it
emerges oh lovely some lovely lovely lovely words coming up later on we have
mr. Steve of course thank you very much for all those who said they enjoyed
watching to Steve doing his exercises well for
those who like that for those who enjoyed it here it is again he'll say
mr. Steve coming today and we're doing something a little bit different now I'm
not sure if we are going to actually do this but it's something we have planned
for the final half-hour today now of course there are many people on YouTube
doing all sorts of things there are people talking about movies there are
people who are talking about computer games and there are people who are
talking about makeup when we put when we talk about makeup we mean cosmetics so
cosmetics makeup the way people appear and one of the questions today will be
about the way you look now as we get older it's true as we get older because
we all do we all get older eventually some faster than others I will today
hopefully be having a makeover now this is something that mr. Steve mentioned
the other week not not here but away from the live stream mr. Steve says here
Duncan you know sometimes you appear on camera have you ever thought about Matt
wearing some makeup when you do the live stream now of course these days both men
and women wear makeup especially when they appear on television or in movies
so even men have a little bit of makeup on their face so what do you think
do you think I should have a makeover in the last half-hour
I will let you decide so mr. Steve has offered very kindly I don't know how
well this is going to go I have a feeling it's going to be a big disaster
but mr. Steve wants to give me a makeover today apparently because he
does acting from time to time he likes to appear on the stage and perform he he
sometimes wears a little bit of makeup on his face so he's decided to give me a
makeover would you like to see that later because we are going to do it live
it isn't recorded it will be live during the last half hour of the show so would
you like to see that we're not doing it yet I have to save at least some of my
dignity some of it so today we have questions do you buy a newspaper
apparently fewer and fewer people are buying newspapers and another one
because another question here now this is an interesting question because here
in the UK we are about to decide whether or not we should ban parents smacking
their children so should we be able to hit or smack our children when they are
naughty is it okay for a parent to hit their child now I remember years
ago it was a common sight to see parents especially in supermarkets when the
child was getting very angry in having a tantrum like that and the parent would
slap the child would slap the child so sometimes they would slap them on their
body or if it was a girl or maybe a boy in shorts they would
slap his legs so the child would be punished in the shop in front of
everyone and quite often the child would cry even more so it didn't stop the
child from having a tantrum it carried on doing it so do you think it's a good
idea because I know in some places people still think that the child should
have a little smack now and again I remember when I was in China I remember
I was teaching some some very young children in kindergarten and the parents
were there and one of the the young children
couldn't remember something that I'd said to them they couldn't remember the
words and the parent I still can't believe this the parent went over to the
child and hitter hit the child so hard and then the child started crying and it
was horrible and bear in mind please bear in mind that the child was only
around four years old and I felt terrible because I felt responsible
so because the child couldn't recite the things hide I'd said to her the parent
got very angry and started to beat the child I felt really really upset and
it's something I always remember very very strongly when I think about my time
especially teaching very young children because sometimes the parents were very
impatient and this is something you might be aware of in China some Chinese
parents they really do force their children to learn things almost
aggressively so yes I did feel I did feel very sad about that lots of other
things coming today we're going to have a lesson about news where do you get
your news from do you ever buy a newspaper one or two people are already
talking on the live chat let's have another look at
the live chat shall we here we go Eugene thinks hitting children is a type of
cruelty people should talk to their children and explain a situation to them
just like normal humans Bella thinks that is so sad
Oh what what what is sad do you mean my story about when I was in China yes I
think so so some people think that smacking or punishing your child by
hitting them is is wrong Belarusian says my mother buys the
newspaper every day and when I visit her I always like to read the headlines of
course headlines are the main stories so normally on the front of a newspaper you
will see the headlines the main stories hamster predictions says we are reading
news on the Internet and I think maybe you are not unusual
there because a lot of people now do that many people now tend to get their
news from the internet of course the danger of that is that sometimes the
news that is reported over the Internet can be inaccurate in accurate rule Maria
says oh I love the way you speak English mr. Duncan thank you very much I've been
practicing all my life to speak English so I hope it is okay Tetsu yeah Tetsu
yeah is here I think that beating a child will have the opposite effect in
the end yes I think so so so maybe if you punish the child too harshly it can
actually have the opposite effect why is your hair brown oh if your hair was
Brown it would look better do you think so this is my this is my Donald Trump
hair because of course it's one year since Donald Trump became the president
and there I am there I am one year ago doing my special livestream way back one
year ago yesterday yes true and I stayed on for three hours
I remember that very well and here we are one year later and we are all still
here hooray to that we have the mystery idioms we also have the mystery object
today I have something here in a plastic bag but what is it so the mystery object
if I remember I will show you the mystery object later on also we have the
mystery idioms as well would you like to see today's mystery idioms now they are
a little different today because they aren't pictures they are actually video
clips it's something a little different so today we are we are going to show
some video clips as part of our mystery idioms and here they come right now so
here is the first mystery idiom Bert what is it what is the mystery idiom
here is the second mystery idiom so there they are - mystery idioms but what
are they and of course they are a little different today because they are video
clips normally they are pictures and here is the first one again so there
they are the mystery idioms Bert the question is what are they don't
worry I will give you the answers towards the end of today's live stream
don't forget I am with you until four o'clock
UK time in the first hour we have lots of different things and in the second
hour after three o'clock of course it's mr. Steve and today we
will be talking about something very dramatic something very dramatic
happened to mr. Steve during the week we will be talking all about that and
showing you some photographs relating to the very dramatic thing that happened to
mr. Steve during the week all I'm going to say is that it involves his car
that's all I'm saying for now now yesterday we went out for a lovely walk
would you like to see mr. Steve and myself and this is something we did
yesterday during the the heavy snow lots of things yesterday going on but mr.
Steve and myself we went into town we had something to eat and then on the way
back home we decided to play a little game and the game is called what's
inside mr. Steve's bag
doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo it's a Saturday afternoon and I cannot
see a thing oh my goodness look how misty it is and can you see it has been
snowing and of course it isn't just me here at the moment it is also mr. Steve
but where is he where is mr. Steve there is mr. Steve hi
Steve are you are you okay I'm very well thank you mr. Duncan apart from it being
a little misty and it's been snowing quite heavily hasn't it but it's as you
can see but it's gone now it's just we're left with low clouds
mist low cloud so it's very atmospheric as they say yes the the view the view is
incredible I mean look how misty and murky everything looks it looks like
something from a horror movie it looks like something from from a very creepy
film like I keep expecting something to come out of the Mist and and jump on us
mr. Steve was just doing a very creepy face let's have a look oh my goodness
it's it's it's it's horrible kill it with fire we've just we've just had a
Saturday meal haven't wicken today we're full up and we were going to go straight
home because it was so cold mr. Duncan wanted to do some filming but it was so
cold he said there are gonna go straight back home but then we stopped here it's
very calm very still and we thought we'd show you what we'd bought in town yes
we're going to play a new game called what's in mr. Steve's bag so there is
the bag can you see the bag there it is mr. Steve has it firmly grasped in his
hand he's going to show is now what is in the bag because we have something
very lovely to show you so come on mr. Steve please tell us what is in your bag
well last week of course it was the bread this which is in the rucksack
there so this is something we can eat later on in the week look at that it's a
frozen pizza a pizza in this case four cheese with a stuffed crust and three
pounds that cost as you can see so we'll get that in the freezer when we get back
home and then we will have it with some baked beans as a quick meal a quick meal
one of these days during next week of course there is one thing that everyone
is going to say they are all going to say mr. Duncan mr. Steve that is a very
unhealthy meal because it contains lots of fat in bad things let's have a look
at the fat content per half a pizza 26 grams that's not bad actually that's not
bad for a pizza it's
a healthy one this one but delicious we will have that in the week with some
baked beans and I should put some curry flavor in the beans because I like curry
flavored beans and when I'm going out that'll be a 10 minute meal in the oven
on the table and I'm out so that's the pizza I must I must admit this is a very
surreal moment of time because we're standing here on a very very cold and
dismal day it was snowing this morning we actually had quite a lot of snow and
I must admit I'm quite surprised by the amount of snow that's fallen and now
look you can see that it is very misty very murky today so it's Saturday at the
moment so this particular section you are watching now isn't live but don't
worry we will be going live to the studio in a few moments but mr. Steve
has something else in the bag Oh so what do you have now mr. Steve we've
just had we've just had unhealthy pizza and now we've got unhealthy chocolate
pizza with chocolate for dessert there we go so we're carrying on the
healthy theme for one day this week actually there's another one in here so
there's three bars of chocolate in here but all is not lost that's very bad for
your teeth so I've bought some toothpaste as well just to clean my
teeth afterwards and this is a snip at only a pound for this excellent
toothpaste so so that's a tube of toothpaste show it us again so we have
we have the unhealthy food we have the chocolate and then afterwards we can
clean all of the all of the junk food from between our teeth with this tube of
toothpaste so how much was how much was that Steve I think I just said it was a
pound there we go just one pound that's very true
that's amazing that that's so cheap so is there anything else in there if we're
here for much longer oh this pizzas frozen I'm gonna have to put it in the
snow to keep it cold I have a have a strange feeling that the the pizza is
not going to thaw out but look at the view isn't that beautiful it feels so
it's it's almost it's almost slightly sinister because it's murky it's very
very damp and of course we had lots of snow this morning I must admit I was
slightly surprised just as Steve was weren't you you were very surprised this
morning when you opened the curtains and you saw all of the snow falling yes I
hope it doesn't last because had a bit of a drama this week which we will
reveal yes we're going to talk about mr. Steve's very dramatic moment this week
something quite terrible happened whilst mr. Steve was driving during the week
can you believe it so it did actually happen and it happened to mr. Steve and
he will be recalling the story the whole story of his dramatic moment on the road
a little bit later on but now I think we will go back to the studio because I
don't know about you Steve but I am absolutely freezing cold so am i but I'm
not as cold as I would be because I've got long johns on under my trousers long
johns of long johns are very useful because you can wear them under your
trousers I think mr. Steve is going to show us there we go oh my calves I've
got big calves there my Long John underneath my trousers so there's this
Steve showing off about his sexy legs again but yes mr. Steve is wearing an
extra layer of material under his trousers and we call them long johns
they can't hear you Steve right wait there a minute I have to
point the microphone toward you here we go
mr. mr. Duncan hasn't got his long johns on so he's cold
yes I'm freezing I'm actually freezing cold because I only have my jeans on but
nothing underneath absolutely boiling hot I don't need to take some layers off
so so now Steve is just showing off so we'll go back to the studio now we'll
join mr. Duncan and a little bit later on you will be live as well about you
Steve I will be yes live as life can be as live as you can be which is as live
as anyone really and that is pretty live so we'll see you in a bit mr. Steve
don't forget mr. Steve will be live today at 3 o'clock so now we will rejoin
mr. Duncan that's me in the studio
Dibby Dibby Dibby doo-doo-doo yeah we are live once again on a Sunday
afternoon it is me mr. Duncan and coming up at 3 o'clock don't forget mr. Steve
will be here live he was there just recorded yesterday and of course mr.
Steve will be telling you all about his very dramatic moment something so
dramatic happened to mr. Steve in his car it was like something from a movie
let's just say but very dramatic indeed we have the mystery idioms I will show
you them once again very quickly so there is the first one quite a few
people guessing this and one or two getting it right someone said the grass
is always greener on the other side it isn't that but that's a very good guess
and there is the other mystery idiom I think this one is a is very easy by the
way and that the first one once again if you think you know what they are let us
know and the answers of course will be coming later on another question to ask
do you ever feel lonely now the reason why I'm mentioning this is because here
in the UK the government here have just decided to have someone appointed in
charge of loneliness there is actually now a government minister for loneliness
so apparently many people do suffer from loneliness they feel alone they never
see anyone they sit alone all day and sleep alone
they never talk to anyone so apparently loneliness is a very big problem one of
the reasons certainly in this country is because many
people now are living longer and what tends to happen when you get older many
of your friends will will pass away they will die and then you might be left
alone so apparently loneliness is a very big
problem now here in the UK in fact it's such a big problem they have a minister
now in the government who is overseeing the problem of loneliness so do you ever
feel lonely do you ever buy a newspaper that is another question and do you ever
hit your children or do you think it's okay for a parent to hit their child
what do you think I've had a message come through on the live chat because
the live chat is very busy today I must point out and there is a message
from if my camera will show me from Terry on Terry on Marsden says parents
in America are divided on the issue of smacking their child
some say that smacking children is wrong and abusive others say that children
need to be punished for wrongdoing so yes I think this is a very polarizing
topic some people think that you should be very strict with your children you
should punish them when they do something wrong whereas other people
think that maybe just talking to your child so instead of beating the child
you just talk to them you just ask them what the problem is you talk to them as
if they are an adult talking of news we have a lesson coming up in a moment that
I made all about news and then after three o'clock mr. Steve is here we are
talking about lots of things also we have Shakespeare on
Sunday do you remember last week mr. Steve read an extract from Shakespeare
and today we'll be having another one because apparently lots of people like
listening to mr. Steve reciting Shakespeare so we will have another
Shakespeare on Sunday coming up very soon we are talking news of course after
the first year of Donald Trump being in charge
the phrase fake news became very popular indeed and here is a lesson all about
news reporting that I made way back in 2008 this is GNN news your news reader
is dick sharp in today's news famous actress gives birth after sneezing
manning leaves misses his bus and it's 20 minutes late for work online English
teacher mr. Duncan buys himself a new pair of socks
we have exclusive pictures all those stories plus board with trevor has done
much much more right here on dear the news don't go away
hi everybody this is mr. Duncan in England how are you today are you ok I
hope so are you happy I hope so
in this lesson we will look at words and situations related to the world of news
News News the word news relates to any event or information that is reported
within a short time of it happening or information that was previously unknown
the word itself originates from Middle English and is the plural of the word
new there are many words related to news such as announcement bulletin communique
dispatch notice report repla Tosh and statement that's interesting there are
many ways of receiving or finding out news we can read it in a newspaper we
can hear it on the radio we can watch it on the television we can search for it
on the Internet we can receive it on our mobile phones
sometimes another person may tell us it when this happens we describe it as
word-of-mouth sometimes we hear news that may be inaccurate or not true in
this situation we call it gossip rumor speculation oh tittle-tattle
coming up next on DNA entertainment news we have an exclusive interview with up
and coming rappers to see back when we read a newspaper the most important or
newest stories will appear on the front page when we watch the television news
the most important stories will be the first to be read out these are called
the headlines or the top stories when a television or radio news report is given
we normally call this a news bulletin the information about each story is
given in short and easy-to-follow sentences over a period of a few minutes
the average news bulletin takes around 15 minutes to be given a person who
reads the news on TV or radio is called a news anchor news caster news host or
news reader
needless to say news covers many subjects including economics politics
social issues technology entertainment and sport it would be true to say that
not all the new events that occur can be reported and because of this they are
usually chosen depending on their importance and overall effect come on
give us a smile for our readers come on stay there ok one more yeah
thanks a lot the industry that collects and distributes all the news stories
around the world is called the media this word relates to the fact that the
person given the news is in the middle of the process it is also worth noting
that the word media can be used both as a singular and plural noun people who
collect the news are called journalists and if they work for a newspaper they
can also be called a Press reporter
when an event or a news story happens suddenly then we call it breaking news
or developing news this means that not all the details of the story are yet
known a good example of this situation would be the moments following the first
attack on New York's World Trade Center in 2001 when breaking news happens it is
given priority above all other stories until more details are known thanks to
new technology we can now get all the news we need 24 hours a day via
satellite and cable TV stations this type of service is called rolling news
the current events being reported or show is text moving along the bottom of
the screen like this hello mr. cameraman I need my cameraman where is he I need
to make it higher he's gone for a supper oh that's no good okay I'll do it myself
this new way of receiving news means that the different channels must compete
with each other for viewers some people believe that this has caused a change in
the way news is reported they accuse news channels of worrying more about
their ratings than the actual news they are reporting despite this feeling it
seems now more than ever before there is a real need to be kept up-to-date and
informed on what is happening in this ever-changing world vas
there is an expression in English that goes no news is good news this means
that sometimes hearing nothing about a situation it's better than the
possibility of receiving bad news
before I finished my lesson today I would like to say a special hello to my
new friends watching in Brazil Chile Ethiopia Germany Israel Japan Mexico the
Philippines and Puerto Rico this is mr. Duncan in England wishing
you well and signing off to tough it out
and there it was a lesson made can you believe 10 years ago yes I've been on
YouTube for many many years in fact 2018 is my 12th year right here on YouTube
the live chat is very busy today thank you very much so many people getting
involved today let's have a quick look shall we the paparazzi
what is the paparazzi the paparazzi are the reporters that are normally very
hungry for news stories and they tend to follow people around they tend to stalk
people of course the very famous incident involving Princess Diana in -
in 1997 the power peroxy or paparazzi were blamed for that for the death of
Princess Diana I really appreciate what you do for us thank you very much Julie
and also a big thanks to you and mr. Steve all thank you very much Julie
that's very kind lad JAL says smacking children isn't a good thing because it
will leave some side effects on them when they grow up
mental side effects why smacking them why are they smacking them when they
still don't know what they are doing wrong or what they are doing yes I think
that might be a very good point because children of course don't often know the
difference between right and wrong they have to learn over a period of time I
think you're right quite a few people were admiring the pizza from earlier on
did you see the pizza quite a few people have been admiring the pizza we haven't
eaten the pizza yet by the way we haven't eaten it it's still waiting in
the freezer I think we will eat it next week sometime a headline has its own
grammatical rules yes thank you colonel for that yes there are different types
of newspaper in fact we could probably have a look now
so for example there is the tabloid newspaper when we talk about tabloid
newspaper we talk about things that are very large very very bright very
colorful when I say large I actually mean the writing on the front of the
paper tends to be very large very colorful quite often tabloid newspapers
will also have lots of color photographs they are desperately trying to get your
attention now many people don't like the tabloid newspapers whilst other people
love them in fact it might be fair to say that here in the UK tabloid
newspapers are very popular and then you have the broad sheet broad sheet
newspapers now these are seen as being real newspapers these are the ones that
people who are very refined very educated tend to read although nowadays
that isn't always the case because last week the Guardian newspaper decided to
go tabloid style so now the Guardian which in the past was viewed as a broad
sheet a very respectable newspaper has actually now become a tabloid they have
changed their design so you have tabloid newspaper and you have broadsheet
newspaper there is a difference between the two having said that it would appear
that the tabloid newspaper is more popular than the broadsheet how true
that is well I'm sure you will have your own opinion about that so we're live oh
my goodness it's four minutes away from three o'clock
mr. Steve will be here soon we are talking about lots of things today lots
of hot topics do you ever feel lonely because now here in the UK we have a
minister a government minister who has been put in charge of loneliness that
doesn't mean that she makes people feel lonely but what she will do is is talk
about the actual issue the actual problem of loneliness as I said earlier
the population here in the UK is living longer and there are more elderly people
which means I suppose there are more lonely people so I would imagine that
many of the people that suffer from loneliness are also elderly Thank You
jewel my grandfather was a member of the Communist Party and he had and he said
that if the news had been true it would not be so cheap but it was fifty years
ago I love you and that is from erener from Israel Thank You Irena I'm not sure
what you mean by that but some people say that nowadays you should take a lot
of what is reported with a pinch of salt a very interesting expression so if you
take something with a pinch of salt it means you shouldn't necessarily
believe it it might not actually be true you should take it with a pinch of salt
just enough time to show you the mystery object so here it is here is here is the
mystery object now I've made it difficult because it's still inside the
bag so there it is there is the mystery object can you see it so the mystery
object it is it is inside a plastic bag but
what is it any ideas what it could be I will show you later what it actually
is it's something quite interesting and it is connected to my work that's all
I'm saying if I say anything else it will give it away you see we are coming
up to three o'clock Oh what mr. Steve will be here soon is it headphones is
the mystery object headphones no terry on it is not is it a USB connector Alice
says no it isn't let's put the live chat up on the screen headphones no

is not a microphone it is not a memory stick sorry Alice but what is the
mystery object what is it well I will reveal it later on but now we have more
important things to do don't forget in the last half-hour maybe I'm not sure
I'm still I'm still not sure if I want to do it to be honest I haven't made up
my mind I haven't decided but mr. Steve wants to give me a makeover
a makeover a very interesting word makeover a makeover so you make someone
look very attractive by using cosmetics you give them a makeover and apparently
mr. Steve thinks that I should have a makeover can I first of all say before
mr. Steve arrives a big thank you by the way to Catherine fogs can I say thank
you to Catherine Fox who last week sent a lovely donation to help my work
continued via PayPal thank you very much for that so here he comes
it's mr. Steve I know I know you've all been waiting for him to arrive
well don't worry he's on his way
I do doo-doo-doo-doo doo-doo-doo-doo can you believe that we are almost
coming towards the end of January they forget I will be here next week
with mr. Steve Burt can I just say now can I just warn you
that during February there will be some changes to when we are on so during
February there will be some slight changes to when I am on here and when
mr. Steve is on here with me so that coming maybe next week I will
mention that because there are some changes but only during February okay
here he comes it's mr. Steve yes there he is oh hello there oh it's nice to see
that Steve has has got in on the act hi Who am I supposed to be mr. Duncan
you tell me to put this wig on and this red tie and a white shirt so I guess I'm
supposed to be impersonating Donald Trump you certainly are right because
it's why we're doing that today because you I'm notice you've got a wig on as
well well I'm wearing my Donald Trump wig because of course it is a year since
Donald Trump became president and leader don't forget of the free world oh my
goodness and we are all still here so I must admit I do feel very pleased that
we are still here yes it was a year ago in fact let me just show you quickly the
picture so there I am a year ago there is the photograph during last year's
live stream on the day that Donald Trump became the president and I did a special
three-hour livestream and that was a year ago but here we are today live with
mr. Steve so thank you very much for getting dressed up you you really do
look the part in fact I think I think we should just keep these wigs we should
keep them on there have been itchy I'm not keeping mine
for the whole show they look quite good in fact you look so young what do you
mean I look so young I am uh so young mr. Duncan as you well know it's being
on these shows that are aging me now I have to be very careful here because
later on that now mr. Steve wants to give me well there are many things he
wants to give me normally normally involving a punch in the face but mr.
Steve wants to give me a makeover now I'm not sure I think I will leave the
decision to you out there so do you think that mr. Steve should give me a
makeover during the the final half an hour of the show well you said you were
going to talk about plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery so I thought well you
don't need that mr. Duncan is just a a bit of a touch of makeup here and there
could enhance your your fabulous features your cheekbones your lips your
eyebrows could be enhanced in ways other than using the surgeon's knife but but
the thing is Steve wait there a second there at the thing is that nowadays even
men like to take care of their skin and like to take care of their appearance so
so even men nowadays wear makeup did you tell me I'm not sure I might be wrong
here you told me that some of your work colleagues they they put like
moisturizer on and and things like that they are very well-groomed yes men are
becoming very well-groomed in England these days and I think it's
because their women are demanding it so they don't want their men to be smelly
and all the skin or pockmarked and ugly and ugly and they want them to smell
nice in an ever-changing world men are having to adapt in order to to attract a
mate let's put it this way attractive this sounds like you're talking about
this sounds like a National Geographic program actually had something very
interesting today because there's a lot of discussion about women's rights at
the moment and and it was interesting to what one woman was commenting that men
expect their women to be beautiful all through their married life too to keep a
slim figure to can't do the other hair done all the time makeup and yet them
the man can can can become a complete slob have a great big beer guts I love
that word rubber beard I love that word slob and the woman's just supposed to
put up with it well not anymore women aren't putting up with it anymore so so
women and men a women are demanding that their men also look attractive because I
know that women go to a lot of trouble that women women do all sorts of things
to look beautiful they they they take their eyebrows off and then and then
they draw them back on and that sounds very painful having your eyebrows
removed just so just so you can you can paint them back on your face so I think
I think women go to a lot of trouble to to look good for their man and the other
one that I've never tried this but I know that lots of women do it they they
remove the hair from their legs and they use a special method called waxing and
and I've seen it done I've never had it done myself but but oh my goodness
presumably because they're men demand nice smooth legs but it looks so painful
that they melt wax onto the skin and then they pull the wax off and when the
wax comes off it also pulls the hair as well I don't think it's probably I don't
know maybe some women out there watching now have had this waxing done is it
painful I would imagine it's probably not as painful as if if a man had it
under his legs and even men hair is much coarser yes and men of course some men
have their chest waxed so they have a I have
never heard of that what about you Steve no mines mine I'm like a bear under here
are you sure are you sure because and nowadays many men feel very ashamed of
their body hair they don't mind hair on their face because the beard has become
very trendy and very popular but but men don't like body hair I think I think a
lot of men don't like to have hairy chests and they like to they wax the
hair on their chest some do it well I think it all depends on the relationship
you're eating and whether the man is prepared to see a lot of men have the
attitude that whatever happens that's natural I'm gonna change it let's
face it it's a lot of maintenance to keep yourself looking attractive takes a
lot of time a lot of effort most men can't be bothered with that a human body
actually is a very high maintenance machine it's better well it is if you
want to stay looking attractive especially when especially when dare I
say especially when you get older yes needs more and more maintenance just
like an old car or an old house it's got to be well maintained if it's to remain
looking attractive growing old gracefully I think is the is the trick
behind that behind that but of course nowadays you have to dress to impress
image has become a very important thing in fact I made a lesson on my youtube
channel all about image and how important it is to stay looking young or
looking trendy or smart not everyone I don't think I'm a trendy
person some of my clothing is so old in fact I can show you something here this
is this is a very old tie now this is a tie that I I wore during the 1990s and
sometimes I still wear it now so there it is there is one of my very old ties I
think this is one of my father's old ties oh that's nice it's by a company
called Hepworth heck was I remember Hepworth
which I think it's been closed for about 40 years
I remember Hepworth Pet Worth's were were like it was a it was a department
store but but the if I remember rightly because it was many years ago they used
to it was like a department store but everything in there was quite quite
cheap was it I thought it was sort of middle of the road oh okay then so it
wasn't too cheap too dear it wasn't too expensive and it wasn't
too cheap okay I think it was a sort of I think it was well reasonably upmarket
you do it anyway I was gonna say with this wig on because I'm dying to take it
off it's very itchy I can't stay for the next three chords an hour with this on
no don't leave it on it looks great so how old do I look now two people think
you know be generous got you are really really taking a risk never ask people
Steve Steve you are really showing how naive you are
yes sir with the wig what age would you say no don't ask people on the Internet
to tell - what to tell you how old you look because it's a big mess
and what about now oh my I take it off a my daughter younger or older I need to
turn the lights down it's it's like everything right in here it's really
reflecting off your head oh you see I have to keep this dome very smooth no
actually so that's it before and after do I look younger wrong apparently
according to Bella Bella says mr. Steve looks like he is thirty thirty with it
on hamster says mr. Steve looks like he is 35 oh dear
that is not well is that with or without so with it on it must be 35 with it on I
could live with that oh here we go dawn I told you not to do
this Don Gardini Oh says you look 666 years
old you see if I could live that long I'd
I'd obviously have the cure for for aging you'll be you'll be older than
Donald Trump did you see last week his his doctor said that Donald Trump will
probably live until he's 200 well he's got the money so has anyone called cure
comes for along for aging he'll have the money to pay for it has anyone ever
lived to 200 years old no don't think so happened no bond no one I think the
oldest person who's ever lived about 115 116 years old something like that
haven't so yeah actually yes yes yes so what do you think should I keep it on
ask people should I keep it on or keep it off just get on or keep it on just
keep the wig on it's very annoying mr. Duncan
look I'm itching here this thing really does itch my head is on fire
it's horrible so so I've got I've got a wig and a hat so imagine what I'm going
through at the moment it's not going to go very well with the Shakespeare speech
later on sir so once someone says you look someone has guessed your age but
they've actually guessed your age and it is your age is that with or without the
wig I think it might be both right it's going back on you're not fooling anyone
there we go Martha says you must keep the wig on ah
all right then now I don't know is that right am I going on right I can't tell
now took me half an hour to put this on earlier actually that looks better and
that looks better you look you look like a like a mad scientist do i oh yeah I
tell you who you look like you look like mo is it mo from the Three Stooges don't
know that one these references that I'm coming out with today are terrible you
know me you you mentioned you mentioned a long since gone clothes store and I've
mentioned a long since gone comedy trio there's no moths on this fly yet so it's
tuned very well there's no moths we're on the phone
there's no moth holes in the in the Oh is when you've had clothes lying
around in cupboards for many years sometimes the moths get at it don't they
and eat away well the larvae of the moth eats away your clothes you know what can
I just say something here I I think moths are not real I think they don't
really do what people say because I've never seen I've never seen clothing that
has been eaten by moths I've got it I've got a coat upstairs it's got this
beautiful coat it costs me a lot of money yeah an overcoat double-breasted
overcoat that goes over your suit very warm
made of pure wool okay cost me about Oliver I would say about 160 pounds many
years ago hardly ever use it and I got it out about a year ago and it's got
it's been eaten by moths on the collar I'm okay so it's ruined you'll have to
show us next week yes because I've never had anything ruined
I won't ever I'm a bit of a moth skeptic oh no they do exist once you've got them
is difficult to get rid of them moths eat while it's not the moths they
lay eggs on your clothes and the larvae hatch out and I think it's the larvae
that ain't your clothes so you know if we're ever stuck here in the snow and
we've got no food in the house obviously there is nutrition in clothes yeah and
we can just sort of eat a hat or something yes that comes out that might
come in handy if you are ever short of food because apparently moths can eat
clothes so so maybe you can just just you know have a little chew on one of
your shoes well there's something we didn't think we talked about or nibble
one of your hats yeah well that's the expression isn't it if you say I'll eat
my hat if give me an example mister don't come so here's a good one here's a
good one that there was a famous MP a famous Member of Parliament who said
that if if people voted to leave Europe if people voted for brexit that he would
eat his hat that's it so people often use that
expression when they are fairly certain that the statement they are making is
true and so there would be no chance of them ever possibly having to carry out
this act are you eating the Hat but people often say that don't sir don't
they so if certain substance such happens I'll eat my hat they're fairly
certain that thing won't happen but sometimes it does and they look foolish
yes and I think also the same thing happened with Donald Trump I think
someone was saying last year if or should I say before the election results
were announced that they said that if Donald Trump became the president he
would eat his hat so it's something that you are saying you would do because you
are so sure that it won't happen yes of course life is life and sometimes
unpredictable things happen oh it's been a crazy of crazy time in fact the
craziness is continuing into 2018 because yesterday of course the United
States have closed all of their government departments down there shut
they're completely closed so so now the United States is completely shut it's
closed down no public services you know visit the zoo you can't visit museum you
can't go to the Statue of Liberty if you if you've planned a lovely day trip to
the Statue of Liberty it is closed closed if you're on holiday now in
America stain your hotels no point in going anywhere Tomic says i will eat my
hat if mr. duncan reads out my post from the comment box well box or well Tomic
that's it you now have to eat your hat I need proof of that please I need to see
I need to see at least one hat with with teeth marks yes you've got to be fair
when you make that expression you've got to be fairly certain virtually a hundred
percent confident that what you're saying
you really believe will never happen you have to be very certain before you
offer to eat your hat anyway mr. Steve s you had some some drama I did I'm taking
this off sorry oh that's better oh I can breathe but in this studio I
think people are used to seeing you without the wig so I don't think there
will be any surprises but during the week you had a very big surprise didn't
use something something very dramatic happened a real-life drama it wasn't
amateur dramatics it was real-life drama I was driving
along the road just not far from home in fact doing about sixty miles an hour
what's that about 75 km/h something like that
I've been along this dual carriageway and suddenly I heard well I felt I
didn't hear it as something happened at the back of the car and suddenly the car
was all over the road there was this loud noise it sounded like the exhauster
dropped off and then all these warning symbols flashed up on the dashboard
saying tire pressure warning so the car was leaning over it was veering around
the road was quite dangerous I had a tire blow hamlets a blowout a blowout is
what we call when the tire instead of sudden instead of slowly deflating it's
rapidly deflates due to a failure in the tire a catastrophic failure in the tire
itself and all the air rushes out and suddenly you get a blowout and it can be
very dangerous but luckily I was only traveling relatively slowly and I was
able to pull over in fact there was a garage half a mile down the road so I
pulled over very slowly but my hazard lights on by the time I got there though
the tire was smoking because it had been completely flat the rubber was was
burning on the rim of the tire the rim of the wheel itself and it's full of
holes so I don't know what happened there I think because and I had to
change the tire before I came home Jack the car up jack and that what does
that mean if you jack something it means you you raise it you raise it up by tire
to get the jack I dunno I've had this car eight years and I haven't had - I've
never had a puncture once that has involved me having to change the tire
they've always been slow punctures like with a nail or a screw in there and it's
only going down over a few days even you can go to a garage and get it repaired
so the tire can go down very slowly a slow deflation that's it that is a
puncture we normally call it a slow puncture that's most car tire issues
like that are slow punctures slows was a blowout which if that happens on this
was on the rear tire which is not so dangerous if it happens on the front
tire where you've got your steering control and you're doing a high speed on
the motorway it can be very very dangerous but I was very lucky so I
changed a tire and I've had it replaced with a new one but interestingly a feast
this shouldn't happen so I think because we've had such so much bad weather and a
lot of frost and snow as we've been talking about over several weeks the
roads are now full of these deep potholes so the the tarmac has been
eroded away so we've got big potholes what sorry potholes that the tarmac has
been eroded eroded by the frost and so now you're travelling along and suddenly
bang your car goes into this big pothole and that damages the tire it doesn't
always go down straightaway this it's probably damaged it but then it's not
quite enough for it to to puncture and then you suddenly you're driving along
then one day bang it just goes we're just actually looking Steve we're
looking at some photographs now of the actual tire yes so look at that I mean
look at that is so dramatic the tire has actually exploded see a lot of that
damage there would have been one of those hole
would have been the the original blowout but the others were caused by the damage
when I was had to drive for nearly a mile with it completely flat and that of
course means it rubs against the wheel of the tire itself and it has caused all
that extra damage look at that I was very lucky don't tell my mother she'll
be she'll be worried about me going out on the road no don't don't anyone please
don't tell mr. Steve's mother I've never had that ever happened before but I I
went into it I've been crashed over a lot of bad potholes recently and because
they haven't been repaired by the local authorities because they've all appeared
so quickly yes of course of course a pothole is is a large hole that forms in
the road and at the moment we have a big problem here in the UK with potholes we
do because the council's are running out of money and they can't afford to repair
them but of course if you drive over it with your car that the the wheel or the
tire can be very badly damaged now one or two people are asking was it was it
scary what did you feel afraid Steve well I didn't at the time you sort of
when that when something like that happens you sort of certain sort of
things take over and you automatically do thing I was aware that there were
lots of cars around me and it was very wet and I thought the car seems to be
not responding very well and then I heard this noise and then all these
warning lights flashed up on the dashboard so it's you know I thought the
exhaust had dropped off anyway safe and sound if it felt been on the motorway
doing a higher speed I think it would have been a lot more worrying because
I'd have had to pull over onto the hard shoulder of the motorway the hard
shoulder where where we where we pull over if we've broken down the safe area
but of course it's not that safe because lots of people get killed on the hard
shoulder of the motorway every year by lorries plowing into the back of them so
so that the hard shoulder is normally on the side of the motorway so that's where
you get refuge if you get into difficulty if
your car breaks down if you have a mechanical problem you can go to the
side of the motorway aside the motivates a lane where the traffic it is not
allowed to normally travel in but it's a very dangerous place to be so I don't
think I'd you supposed to get out of your car now they advise you never to
stay in your car no on the hard shoulder because if you sit in the car or stand
by the car and another car hits the parked car the person standing nearby or
in the car will will obviously be badly injured or killed yes advice now do not
stay in your car if you break down on the hard shoulder look it that way look
we're just looking again that that is very dramatic that the tire has actually
split and and you can see what's happened here so because the tire has
exploded mr. Steve of course was driving the car at the time but the weight of
the car has actually destroyed the tire even more so yeah Toyota the tire burst
and then mr. Steve was still driving the car and and the tire has just been
completely destroyed look at that that is so I must admit when I first saw when
I saw what had happened to that tire I was quite upset I was genuinely upset
when I saw it because I I couldn't believe it
could have been a lot worse so I was lucky you see that in movies you always
see that in movies if someone is trying to stop a car they will they will fire
fire a gun Wow at the tire and then the tire will
explode and then
yes so I was I was lucky as I've said so check e Carter I did go over a really
bad pot all about three weeks ago that was a brand-new tire by the way because
I had two new tires put on on the back of the car before Christmas so it was a
new tire so there's nothing wrong with it so it must have got damaged in a
pothole or one of these sleeping policeman that we've got lots of those
now what's a sleeping policeman it's it's a speeding it's it's a design to
stop people speeding along certain roads which could be dangerous too might be
schools nearby or residential area and it's a probably a nice straight road and
it might be in a town well they'll always they're always in a town or a 30
mile an hour limit but people commonly go much faster than that so the the the
residents complain yes and they put these big humps in the road but of
course they damage your tires as well so part of the road is raised slightly
raised and that back then encourages the cars to slow down it does typically near
schools or residential areas usually if somebody's been injured or killed
they'll put them in on that road then but of course they're everywhere now
they're everywhere even you sometimes complain mr. Steve
you complain about these you say ah I'm I hate going through these small
villages because many of them now have little humps little bumps and some
people call them sleeping policeman which is a very interesting phrase
indeed I'm sure a lot of people have heard that today for the first time I
bet they've never heard that before sleeping policeman yes and yes I agree
that traffic is a traffic calming method yes as it's called but but if the speed
limits 30 you can't go 30 over them because your
car would take off yeah so you you you you you're actually forced to reduce
your speed down to about 10 or 15 miles an hour yes and of course you'll damage
the car yes you damage the car and you damage the CII went over some bad
potholes recently but I checked the tires at the front of the car not
realizing that probably the one at the back had been damaged so I checked all
around looked on the inside for bulges on the sidewalls of the tire
mmm but there weren't any but I didn't check the back one so obviously that was
oh dami so the tire that exploded was actually one of the rear tires at the
back yes okay so so there is something to to make sure if you go over a pothole
or a big obstacle in the road always check your tires afterwards to make sure
that they there is no damage but you've got it repaired now no I've got a new
tire on there now you can't repair that well you know you know I that's what not
I thought maybe you can sew those holes back up that's not what I meant
I didn't think they could repair the tire I'm goodness sake but what what how
would they do it would they would they get a needle and thread and in Ch it
stitch it back together yes so I think you've got it all
repaired so your car is ok back to normal no permanent damage no damage
done I was about an hour late getting home but luckily I was only I was quite
anyway that we're going on this story must be getting very boring
no it'sit's it's fastened at all pleased to see that you survived I did okay so
am i everyone is shocked oh I've never had one in I probably drive you've well
well over 30 years I've never had that happen and I do a lot of mileage I do
about 25,000 miles a year so I've never had anything like that happen before so
there you go first time for everything as they say I'm going to say something
now well first of all we have the mystery object here it is what is this I
know what it is does anyone know no you know because in fact that was quite
strange because I pick this up and said oh what's that mr. Duncan I didn't know
and I said oh it's me I said it's a mystery object and then you said oh
thank you mr. Steve I'll have that as my mystery object in today's live English
so so Steve helped me to plan today's livestream and mr. Steve wants to give
me a makeover I think we'll do that in a little while
but now to be or not to be that is the question
Shakespeare on Sunday of course are you ready mr. Steve I'm ready Shakespeare on
Sunday with mr. Steve right let's see how this one goes
this one is from the Shakespeare play Julius Caesar which is a play about
historical events that occurred in the Roman Empire but Shakespeare wrote a few
plays were based on historical facts well probably some of it was facts the
action but we don't know the exact words of course it was said but obviously they
weren't recorded but based on historical events he wrote plays and this one was
about the famous Roman Emperor Julius Caesar who of course as we all know
comes to a sticky end he's stabbed to death by fellow
politicians and that you would say who are some of which are plotting his
demise his death because they think he's going to become a dictator and cause bad
things to happen but his friend in in this particular play his friend Mark
Antony finds a Caesars body and his furious and wants revenge on the
plotters who killed him and so he he makes a little soliloquy a little speech
designed to talk about his feelings about how he wants to incite the the
people of Italy to rise up against these plotters and take revenge against the
people who who who killed Caesar so this is what he says this isn't all of the
speech it's just some of it domestic fury and civil strife shall
cumber all the parts of Italy blood and destruction shall be so in use and
dreadful objects so familiar that mothers shall but smile when they behold
their infants quartered with the hands of war all of pity choked with custom of
fell deeds and sees a spirit ranging for revenge with Arta by his side
come hot from hell shall in these confines with a monarchs voice cry havoc
and let slip the dogs of war that this foul deed shall smell above the earth
with carrion men groaning for burial ah
wow I'm all overcome with emotion I wasn't sure I wasn't sure if you're
going to have a stroke then oh oh I was getting a bit carried away there I'm all
hot and bothered do what loosen a clip while I recover
you want to loosen your tie yes I'm glad you have that wig on oh
well there we go that's it goodness Mayhew words in there I'm a bit
I'm a bit shaken myself shall we start with havoc there's a good word right
there a sec so today's Shakespeare on Sunday what was the play again Julius
Caesar Julius Caesar famous Roman Emperor as I said he was killed
murdered by plot by fellow politicians at the time and
his friend Mark Antony was very upset about it and wanted to incite the populace to rise up
and take revenge which I believe they did that's it yes there's the famous
scene where everyone stabs they stab Caesar in the back
the famous carry on film is that a knife I see a dagger a dagger yes
see that Mister Steve corrected me then oh I thought that the best one is the
'carry on' film with... oh no Steve Steve please don't make references to things
that no one watching at the moment will understand because then we have to spend
20 minutes explaining the reference site and then by the time we've got that the
reference explained it's time to go so let's not talk about that right away
let's leave all of that that that let's put it over there let's put a pin in
that and talk about something else which of course is something we've been
talking about today newspapers do you ever read the newspaper Steve there you
want to talk about some of the interesting words that crop up in this
in this particular speech okay then one or two no problem how
about havoc havoc havoc widespread destruction devastation disaster
confusion lack of order havoc hirate the hurricane ripped through Florida and
caused havoc hmm there's so much the snow on the motorway caused havoc for
drivers so that means yes everything is not as it should be order has gone and
that's what this speech is about really havoc so and what can happen when war
starts you can cause havoc you can cause havoc I could come in here and and knock
over all your tripods that you know that's what you normally do isn't it
because there are so many in here it's a it's a trip hazard from hell and I could
walk through here or I could knock all the tripods over that the lights would
go over the cameras would go everywhere and I would cause havoc in what is
usually a very well ordered studio yes yes I like to keep everything very well
organised in here and then when Steve walks in walks into
the studio everything starts falling over because he just he lumbers around
and knocks things over and I have to say Steve for goodness sake be careful be
careful don't break my studio equipment please anyone wants to me to explain
anything in that speech please that please let us know and and I real can
I've recovered oh I know I'm still reeling I'm reeling from from mr.
Steve's misciagna microphone that wasn't good I
think you might have blown it but I'm not sure fortunately we have very
professional compression on the microphone so I think we should be
alright and also I was I was turning the the microphone volume down just to make
sure that we didn't blow people's ears off because some people listen to us
with headphones so I hope I hope that you haven't made too many people deaf
today interesting if I was reading about the play Julius Caesar on it and a lot
of the theme of it is about which is an interesting thought that many of us have
showing how how Shakespeare often talks about the many varied human emotions and
human behavior is what is that yeah are we when we go through our lives is
it fate that decides what happens or do we have control over our own lives that
the decisions that we make and that largely is about what that plays a
central theme to that play because Caesar gets lots of warnings all the
time about what might happen to him but he ignores them all and and and ends up
being murdered there is of course the famous line beware the Ides of March
that's it so obviously these aren't real they're sort of fictitious sort of not
really believable signs but and and and the whole play comes to the conclusion
really that well the central theme is that read it's a bit of a balance in
life about about fate because there are some things that are
see we cannot control and we have no control over so it's a balance between
that and the things that we do have control over and can make decisions
about which I think it's very interesting because some people go
through that I know people who were fatalists fatalists they caught that's
what they call themselves they just saw what will happen what will be will be so
they think everything's predetermined and and their lives will pan out
according to a particular pattern no matter what they do so even if they even
if they try to change things they believe that if bad things are going to
happen they will happen anyway yes some people think that when you know some
people think if you had a car crash if you spilt some milk if you fell off your
chair if anything happened that was meant to happen some people actually
believe that whereas other people take the opinion that that they can control
everything that's the other extreme I think we all have control over our
destiny but sometimes things do occur yes that actually steer our life in a
certain direction but the the actual outcome isn't decided so it's actually
up to you what happens so the circumstance comes along and how
you react to it is actually what changes your destiny interesting to see what
people think of this concept the fate versus can your own control over your
destiny I mean things like the weather you can't control the weather nobody can
control the weather but if you didn't listen to the weather forecasts you
might end up being stuck outside in a hurricane mm-hmm
so you have control over where you'd be banned that thing happened well
sometimes you're driving along I'm in a car accidents a classic thing you might
be just driving along that's suddenly out of the blue someone could hit you
yes all no control over that oh or one of your tires bursts yes of
course you could choose and a lot of people do to drive around at a giant
great 4x4 so it doesn't matter what hits them
always be safe I can see what I've done here I've made the mistake I've made the
mistake of talking to Steve about cars because it would appear that that almost
60% of what we've talked about in this hour has been car related so if you have
no interest in cars I do apologize but in a moment we are going to do something
very different and very special because I can see Steve getting excited already
we are going to do a live makeover mr. Steve is going to make me look beautiful
of course my many years expertise in the amateur dramatics society I know how to
make somebody look attractive Steve well we'll see we'll see so here comes a
lesson it is one of my full English lessons and during that lesson we will
prepare for the live makeover yes mr. Steve is going to give me a makeover so
my makeup down there we'll see you in a few moments okay
can you see what I have here this is a plug it forms part of many electrical
devices and safely allows electricity to travel from the mains outlet to the
device in question you plug this into the mains outlet or socket the verb for
this action is also plug you plug it in I forgot to plug the TV in you need to
plug it in before it will work to take the plug out is unplug you unplug
something don't forget to unplug the TV before you come to bed you will have to
unplug the washing machine before moving it to plug is to connect and to unplug
is to disconnect the word plug can also be something used to block a hole it can
be a noun or verb I'm going to plug the hole the word plug can also mean to
informally mention something as a way of advertising it to others I will be on
the radio today to plug my new book could you plug my new song on your show
in these sentences the word plug means to casually mention something so as to
promote it
do you want to know what I'm doing here I am about to change a light bulb the
bulb inside this light fitting has blown it has burned itself out it has come to
the end of its life it is no longer working the bulb has gone in this sense
the word gone means expired the bulb is dead so I will now replace the blown one
with one that works first I need to make sure that the electricity is turned off
so I don't electrocute myself because that would really spoil my day and make
this lesson very short have you noticed how many types of light fittings there
are nowadays some push in some screwin and as for their shapes symbols are
spherical symbols are curly and some are straight and long we measure the light
output of bulbs in watts this particular bulb is 40 watts it is a 40 watt bulb ok
it's time to change that light bulb I must unscrew the bulb carefully so is
not to break it
that's strange somebody's turn the power supply to the
lights off first I need to make sure that the
electricity is turned on the electricity is turned on okay so I don't electrocute
myself it will execute myself electrocute myself I think I will turn
that back on and you thought you were having a bad day what's that it sounds
like mr. Jenkins and Trimble I'm coming mr. Duncan
The Mummy read me a bedtime story you promised me yourself you would you
promised me if I was good read me a story
mr. Denton are you alright wait a minute when I was standing up there I had
different clothes on I was wearing a grey tank top over a purple shirt now
I'm wearing a black jumper I know what happened there has been some bad
continuity the clothes I wore in the previous shots do not match the ones I'm
wearing now they have changed this is bad continuity the flow of this sequence
has been broken by this mistake if you sometimes see bad continuity in TV shows
and movies this is mainly caused by the fact that each shot is done at different
times or in completely different places so sometimes it is possible for them not
to match continuity errors can be seen in all types of productions from the
low-budget movie right up to the multi-million dollar blockbuster
doot-doot oh it's finished oh my goodness we were so we were so
distracted there oh my goodness so there it was full English 21 lots of useful
things in there and of course mr. Lomax electrocuted me can you believe it
thank you Steve for noticing that the full english lesson had finished I
haven't had the makeover yet for those who are wondering but I'm going to have
it right now so here we go here we here he comes mr. Steve the beauty expert
apparently beauty expert so I'm now going to go over to where mr. Steve is
standing in the hot seat and prepare to be made beautiful or or there abouts so
here we go I now have to go across to the chair and mr. Steve is going to give
me a makeover Oh what have I done
hurry up mr. Duncan we've only got five minutes before the end of the show okay
I'm coming I'm coming so here we go so this is this is mr. Duncan before and
now let's just sign you round and I have my palette of makeup and wonderment
shall I take that from you I'm taking my glasses off right and I just put those
there that's just you please wants to do it all himself right let's get going
because we haven't got long let me get to project a bit right let's
start with a bit of this yes I of course have many years of expertise in the
makeup you know you don't have to stoop down well I do because I can't reach
your face otherwise my arms aren't that long there we go so a little bit of
foundation just to take out all the aged creases of course I need more than usual
on this particular subject because of the sun damage that is evident from what
I'm looking at here right I've never idea what you're talking
about right so no we need something to brighten up your your cheeks here yes
that looks a little better you need some color anything to take
away the age that is apparent everywhere I've never been so close to you is this
it's a it's quite obvious that I I don't know whether I can actually fix what I'm
seeing all I'm thinking all I'm thinking what
the hell are you doing okay mouth on lipstick now whether it all helps to
just enhance your natural beauty mr. Duncan which is apparent so long while
since I've been this close to yeah I've got to say right now the eyes they need
something they're drastically needs something I don't think anyone can hear
you by the way yeah well ever having they can
right where are we going now with this we're going for a bit of something to
enhance the the eyebrows yes because they're they're dulled with time the
grayness are set in and therefore we need to enhance these particular parts
of your face right now I shadow is vitally important for anyone
trying to look good on a stage or even in real life you need lots of nice eye
makeup as we all know I'm looks like I'm not taking much care here but of course
I'm taking a lot more care and imagine you yo-yo you've got to be on stage
you're in between scenes and you're onon in five minutes so we've got to do a
quick rapid makeover of you here now the eyes need a little bit more but I think
you're nearly ready now for the great reveal which is to show your audience
the level of professionalism which I have managed to acquire over many years
just open your eyes a minute yes well
right well I think I'll just I'll just go to another part of the country I'm
gonna get in the car show it off no one could tell could hear
what you're saying cuz you know we're near the microphone I think they can
hear me I'm projecting are we ready are we ready to see the makeover no you need
to talking - there it is mr. Duncan if I can write assess that isn't the
microphone microphone that's the microphone they can hear those card hear
you right are you ready Mario could be be glasses oh you're
useless this bed on this better look good it does are we ready so here we go
I've had my makeover five four three two one
Lala oh my what have you done to me you're beautiful
you look wonderful mr. Dundee what what have you done to me what I've charged 20
pounds an hour you know for this kind of work you nobody can see you from the
stage what what why have you done - I look ridiculous
yeah but when the lights are on you from a distance
everyone will think you look perfectly all right so you mean so you mean when I
go back over there I will look okay oh absolutely yes over you go mr. Duncan
back to your chair wrap up the show and well look to see if there's any comments
or even if anyone's been able to hear anything we've been saying for the last
five minutes I have a strange feeling no one could hear anything we did there
what what have you done to me nothing just a little bit of enhancement
a few touch-ups here and there just to make you look more presentable to your
viewers mr. Duncan that's all I've done you asked me to do it and this is what
you're what you get oh no wait still on I'm not sure what what have you done to
me this this can't be right I don't think the lights are helping really I
think we need to switch the lights off
no this isn't right I look dreadful any comments come through yet I'm
looking for bookings I don't I don't think I look better I'm looking for
bookings anyone want me to give them a makeover well some of the comments uh-oh
you look like a clown hmm I'm not I'm not sure that that was what I was
looking for you look astonishing you look like a clown that's very funny
it's not supposed to be funny it's supposed to be a makeover it's supposed
to look make me look sexy and lovely while you'll just have to go
for plastic surgery cosmetic surgery mr. Duncan I think so I just love the way
Steve's still not speaking into the microphone well it's all the way up here
now OOP study I'll have to shout yes maybe
maybe you will I think we can hear you now oh oh I still can't get over this
I'm very sorry if you've just tuned in it's okay it's okay please don't adjust
your computers because you're not qualified oh by the way we have we have
our mystery object our mystery object apparently I look more like Donald Trump
than I did before thank you very much for that as that's
very kind of you so let's open the mystery object what
was in the mystery object bag now this I love the way Steve is actually playing
with the microphone while it's working you do realize that that that may have
been the worst sound ever oh my goodness Oh mister don't you worry too much about
I'm going to have to give mr. Steve a course in in how to behave in a live
studio so here it is this is the actual mystery idiom does anyone know what it
is now this is something that you use when you are working inside a computer
so you mean you can get inside use a big computer you've got mr. Duncan if you're
working inside looking yes you can work inside a computer not not physically I
don't I don't shrink to a very small size and then go inside the computer but
but you have to have this on your wrist and then you have to connect this to an
earth point to stop the static electricity from damaging your computer
that's the reason why we do it so I'm trying to put it on me but I haven't
actually used it yet yeah sure shall I plug it in for you mr.
dink I'm sure you would love to plug it in I'll plug it into the the live socket
I'm sure you will I think mr. Steve is trying to
electrocute myself just like mr. Lomax did in that full English lesson so that
is to stop the static electricity from damaging your computer now the reason
why I've bought this is because my computer is not feeling very well at the
moment my poor computer has some problems so at the moment I I'm in the
process of thinking about what to do with my computer because it does have
some problems unfortunately it's not very nice really so that's the mystery
object it is a static wristband it stops static electricity from damaging your
computer when you are working on the inside of it oh yes of course we have
the mystery idioms very quickly here are the mystery idioms the first mystery
idiom a lot of people got this right sit on the fence that it means to avoid
making a decision or choice for example to remain ambiguous and refused to make
a particular or take a particular side you do not wish to give an opinion you
avoid making a choice you decide to sit on the fence and the second mystery
idiom many people got this right so well done
the second mystery idiom talking to a brick wall
talking to a brick wall this means to use this is used to express the feeling
of not being listened to you feel as if you are wasting your time talking to
someone you might say that you feel as if you are talking to a brick wall so
there they are today's mystery idioms I have a strange
feeling that I won't be having any makeup on my face next week I will be
back by the way mr. Steve will also be back won't you Steve I will indeed
assuming that we can get that makeup off you and you're not angry at me for
making you look pretty stupid because of course I'm sure people realized I was
going to do that all along I think people people have thought that
yes I'm anything but an expert in makeup well you can say that I found out the
hard way there's another expression what a way to is it time for me to go now mr.
Duncan what a way to end the livestream what time is it it is now five minutes
just after five minutes we've run over past four yes we've gone
over time as usual I will see you next week mr. Steve bye-bye all and good luck
