Thank you, thank you.
What wonderful voices. We love the Sugababes!
Beautiful new song.
But not unlike... But not unlike a lot of the artists in this room,
they will later be...
They have brought some of their lovely old number ones with them
to share with us. And we've got some other artists with that.
But first of all, I'm going to lunge over here
and chat to the man that sung just a moment ago so ravishingly for us.
It is Sir Rod Stewart!
CHEERING
Have you been making friends with Raye there?
Yeah, Raye, we were talking about music.
Lovely. Not.
Yeah, OK. Very good.
And now, first of all, I've got to ask you, do you make resolutions?
Are you a type of man that does that sort of thing?
No. Good. No.
I'm very weak spirited, so I don't make resolutions. That's right.
An honest man, at last. Yes, of course.
And anything... What are you looking forward to for the next year?
What's your... What sort of things are you looking to do?
Well, making music with you
and going out on tour with our new album.
Peace in the Middle East, maybe, and up the Ukrainians.
APPLAUSE
Peace and love. Peace and love. Yes.
And you're going to be doing some songs from our record
on the show but we'll have more chats about that later.
But I would like to just draw the attention of your...
Cos I think you've... So far, of the gentlemen here,
you've got the best shoes that I've seen.
I'm rather jealous of those shoes.
Are yours Dolce & Gabbana?
No, that one's Dolce, that's Gabbana.
Very lovely to hear from you. Rod Stewart!
We'll be hearing more from him later on.
Now, yes, the boogie-woogie queen is here,
and we've got a little version of a nice old song,
but it is New Year's Eve, so the old songs suit.
And I'd like to dominate this to dear old Fats Domino,
who was my friend.
And I'm delighted to welcome you now to the wonderful Ruby Turner!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
One, two, three, four, five!
# I found my thrill
# On Blueberry Hill
# When I found you
# The moon stood still
# On Blueberry Hill
# And lingered until
# My dreams came true
# The wind in the willow played
# Love's sweet melody
# But all of the vows you made
# Was never to be
# Though we're apart
# You're part of me still
# Cos you were my thrill
# On Blueberry Hill
# Hey
# Ah, ah, ah, ah
# The wind in the willow played
# Love's sweet melody

# And the secret of my mind
# You're the one that I adore
# And still I love in hope to see
# The holy ground once more
# Fine girl, you are
# The girl I do adore
# But still I love in hope to see
# The holy ground once more
# Fine girl, you are
# Oh, well, now, the storm, it is over
# And we are safe in cove
# We will drink one health to the holy ground
# And the one we all adore

# And make the taproom roar
# And when our money is all spent
# We'll go to sea for more
# Fine girl, you are
# The girl I do adore
# And still I love in hope to see
# The holy ground once more
# Fine girl, you are. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Love The Mary Wallopers. What you want on every New Year's Eve.
And later, they're going to be playing a very special tribute
to Shane MacGowan, so we'll look forward to that.
And now...
Look, if you want beautiful examples of humanity in
the contemporary world, look no further because we have
dozens of them here. Look. Ooh, how lovely.
Too modest to applaud themselves, but I think you should.
Hootenanny!
APPLAUSE
Hootenanny! Thank you.
I'm going to lunge into here,
where I have Jo Brand, Nish Kumar and Rose Matafeo.
Welcome to you all.
CHEERING
Lovely to see you.
Lovely to see you, Jo. How are you?
Now, we've got to the end...
Well, we're nearly at the very end of this year now.
Maybe I'll start with you, Nish.
Reflecting on the last year, any highlights?
Erm, personally...
..not many.
That's the spirit.
No, listen, it's a difficult time for humanity
but the important thing is I've had quite a lot of free alcohol
and I'm feeling a lot more positive about things.
Things can only get better.
You're a big music fan, you go to Glastonbury regular.
Yeah, I go to Glastonbury. I went again this year.
Greatest festival in the world.
Oh, it's the best festival in the world.
If you want to see a man weeping, just find me at Glastonbury.
I am... Who would you like to see headlining this year?
I would love to see me headlining. Yes.
Just because I think it's...
It would be so interesting to see the loveliest crowd
turn immediately violent.
Who would you bring on as your guests?
Well, I've got... To be honest, I'm a little bit annoyed that...
We were actually the fifth Sugababes line-up
but I see you've gone with the originals tonight.
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Well, that could've been very nice.
Rose, how about you? Yeah. Of course, you're...
In New Zealand, do they do things very differently there?
Yes, we don't have New Year's Eve.
We do things very differently down there.
No, I used to watch Hootenanny at New Year's. How?
How? Hootenanny!
Hootenanny! Sorry, yes! Yes! CHEERING
Thank you. Come on.
Paul Whitehouse joining in there.
I appreciate that.
No, we don't play it on New Year's Eve, though.
We play it, you know, whenever we want.
What about resolutions and all that? Do you have those?
I'd love to purchase a lovely cast-iron skillet this year. Yes.
And that's about it, yeah.
I've got low.... I've got low expectations.
Yes. Yeah. Keep 'em low.
And, Jo, are you a resolutionist?
Well, I had someone come up to me this year,
look at my face very closely and go,
"Have you had some work done?"
And I went, "Well, I've had a new boiler put in."
LAUGHTER
So I might do that.
I was also thinking I might ask Rod Stewart
to come and fill in some potholes near my house,
cos he's done it before, hasn't he? Very good idea.
And I'm going to have some more children. Oh, yes?
With anybody in particular?
Rod Stewart. LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
We'll be back later to lunge in to see how you're getting on.
And if anybody's bothering you... Oh, do lunge in. Yes.
..let us know. It's lovely to see you all
and I'll see you in a moment. I'm now going to go over this way
and I actually don't know what's going to happen now,
but I'm going to look this way. Ah, yes. Thank you, Jo Brand.
Thank you, Nish Kumar. Thank you, Rose Matafeo.
Now, a great blues...
A great blues singer, a great blues harmonica player,
but also a man who was once with the Manfreds,
who had various numbers ones singing with his beautiful voice.
I'm delighted to say he's here with us now.
Welcome, Paul Jones.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

APPLAUSE
Thank you very much!
Let's hear it for the wonderful Paul Jones!
APPLAUSE
Wonderful-sounding Paul Jones, a beautiful voice.
All right, so I think it's time you'll want to start
getting your clocks in order.
And if you want to get that little sort of champagne out,
or if you've got a lot of people there,
sort of start wiping them down,
because it's now nearly the moment for us to go into the next year.
Are you ready to make your preparations?
CHEERING
The last preparations you'll make in this year,
as we get ready for the next.
So, I think the first thing we need to do
is to welcome on the pipes and drums
of the First Battalion of the Scots Guards!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
BRASS SECTION PLAYS A FANFARE
Now we welcome into the centre Louise Marshall
to lead us with a special song.
It's very nearly that time. Wherever you are, we wish you the best.
But now we leave the old year behind us, and we go into the new together.
Are you ready?

I just need to get the cue for the timing of this right.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And I think there's only one way that I...

And now only the way I can think...
The best possible way I could want to welcome in the brand-new year
would be with Sir Rod Stewart!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, now we're going to have a quick chat over here,
in this corner here, with Raye and Joss Stone,
who are both there.
Happy New Year to you both. Happy New Year. Thank you.
Happy New Year. Happy New Year. It's lovely to see you.
This is the best... Actually, one of the best New Year's Eve parties
I've ever been to - and I have been to a few!
We have one for every New Year's Eve. This is one of the best ever.
So, let me ask, Joss, first of all,
what sort of things are you looking forward to this year?
I think we need more celebrations for no reason.
No apparent reason. Yes, I like the sound of that. Yeah.
And lots more babies.
Babies... I want to be like that crazy lady with, like, 25 babies.
That's Jo Brand. Yeah.
I want to be Jo Brand, yes!
You are my inspiration.
Jo, how many babies have you got?
47!
She's got 47. 47 babies.
Half of that would do me, I think. Yes. Exactly, yeah. Yeah.
Yeah, and the lovely... And just random...
Random celebrations, I think that's a really lovely way...
And how about you, Raye? Been a fantastic year for you last year
because your records have been one of the biggest-selling records
of the year. We're going to do it a bit later,
but in a different styling... We are. ..which is what you wanted
to do, which is very exciting. With little swing vibes.
Yes, exactly. It'll either be great, or... No, no.
It's going to be gorgeous. Fingers crossed. Yes, yes, yes.
And you're celebrating - which we're going to play in a bit -
it's been 20 years since the release... Oh, yeah. 20 years. Yes.
What is going on? Babe, you look so young.
I don't understand. What's the skin care?
You need to drop your skin care. Oh, my gosh.
I have no moisturising cream. No. Really?
I started so young, people are like, "Why's it been going on so long?"
I'm like, "Well, I was a baby."
You started when you were three. That's why you've got to have...
I started when I was three, yes. Well, I'm very pleased you're here.
I'd like to wish you both a very happy New Year.
We'll be looking forward to hearing some marvellous songs
in a little bit. And now we've got somebody really special, actually,
who is one of the great originators of soul music,
who's going to do one of her songs.
And in a bit, she was going to talk about another person we lost
last year, which was Tina Turner, who was a great friend of hers.
But now I think we're... Are you familiar with PP Arnold?
Of course. Of course. Of course.
So, let us welcome, and we're delighted to have her here,
true legend of soul music, it is PP Arnold!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hope you're having a beautiful dance at home.
And if you are having a beautiful dance at home,

# But when I feel that I, I can't go on
# These precious words keep me hanging on

# But I keep on waiting, anticipating for that
# Soft voice to talk to me at night
# For some tender arms to hold me tight
# I keep waiting Ooh
# I keep on waiting Give and take
# But it ain't easy Love don't come easy
# It ain't easy, but mama said
# You can't hurry love
# You just have to wait
# She said, love don't come easy
# It's a game of give and take
# You can't hurry love
# You just have to wait
# You got to trust, give it time
# No matter how long it takes
# You can't hurry love Ooh
# You just have to wait
# You got to trust, give it time
# No matter how long it takes. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I said I'm going to lunge over at the table where these...everybody
here is, as it's New Year's Eve.
They're suitably relaxed and, well, perhaps even off of their nut.
And there's three dear old friends of mine over here at the
moment in the form of Jim Moir, Paul Whitehouse and Lolly Adefope.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome to you all.
Mwah. Happy New Year. Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you all.
Yes, yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right. Have you washed your hands?
Now, I'll start with you, Lolly.
First of all, have they been bothering you?
They have been bothering me, yes. Yeah. Very much so.
Yes, I just thought I'd establish that. Yes. We'll leave that at that.
Our reputations proceed us!
Oh! Now, let me ask you this, Lolly, are you a resolution keeper?
100%.
Oh, really? Yes. And are you a resolution maker?
100% not, no. Oh! I am, I am, I am!
Have you...each year, do you make a resolution? I do, I try to.
This year, I'm going to get big on TikTok. Oh, yeah? OK.
Well, I'll follow you. Yes. What will you do?
Well, first I'll download the app... LAUGHTER
..and then make an account and do all that stuff
and I think after that, it'll just be quite easy.
I mean, I think one of the key things is
you get a cat or something like that and then pat it... Yes.
..and then people love that. Yes, cats, dogs, filters.
Yes. Yeah, it's easy.
Yeah. Really! I'll join you. Great. Thank you.
Thanks very much. And so that's your resolution.
And a dream and a hope for next year?
Erm, world peace.
Yes.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you. What was that? Sorry...that was...
Never you mind, Jim. ..world peace. I thought of that today.
I came up with that phrase. Yes. Trademarked. Yes.
So if you say it, you have to pay me. That's right.
Rod said it earlier, but you... So Rod owes me a lot of money.
Yeah, exactly. Yeah, exactly, yeah.
OK, so, now, Paul. Erm... Hello. You...you did... Paul Whitehouse.
Paul Whitehouse, yes, thank you.
Say his name... Sorry, sorry, Mr Whitehouse, sorry.
Before you came to this show, you did send a message saying that
you wanted editorial control.
Is there anything you want to change so far? Just want to cha...?
Yeah, he wants to be called Mr Paul Whitehouse. Mr, please.
Yes, all of it. Can we go...?
And I sounded a bit like you, there, didn't I? Sorry about that.
What a treat, ladies and gentlemen.
Do you want to come in... Don't! I've done it before! I know.
I know, rather successfully.
No, I don't want to change anything, it's one big rough and tumble.
What year are we in? I'm...
No, don't ask me.
Lolly, what year are we in?
1981. 20...04?
Yeah, OK, thank you. There we go.
I've got some lucky numbers for you for next year. Yes, what are they?
Er, six. Yes.
Eight. Yes.
111.
LAUGHTER
What should me and the viewers do with those...?
They're only for you, only for you.
So they won't work for anybody else? No, they won't work for anyone else.
And would I use them in...? I don't know. Do the lottery, or...?
Yeah, that sort of thing, yes. Six, eight... Yeah.
..and 111. Don't tell everyone!
Oh, sorry. So I'll put them... LAUGHTER
Jim Moir, Mr Jim Moir... Yes. ..if I can call you that. Great artist.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah. Lord.
Yes, Sir. Earl.
Now, you've done a lovely programme of painting with birds,
with some of the most beautiful paintings I've ever seen.
Thank you.
Have you got a resolution that relates to that?
A resolution?
Say that, resolution that relates to that.
Er, longer chins.
Longer chins for everybody? Longer chins for everyone.
And if you can't do it naturally, get it done.
You heard it here first!
Before the Covid pandemic, nobody knew Covid was coming,
it was that - whatever that New Year's Eve was - he was on the show,
what's his prediction? Stock up on loo rolls. Yeah.
So he's saying longer chins now and we're all laughing.
I tell you what, it's going to happen. Yes.
People will be doing it. Yes.
They've done the lips, they're going to do the chins.
LAUGHTER

# Oh
# Here I am from Paddy's land,
CHEERING
# The land of high renown
# I've broke the hearts of all the girls
# For miles around Dundalk town
# And when they hear that I'm awa'
# They'll raise a hullabaloo
# When they hear about the handsome lad that they call O'Donoghue
# For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
# I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
# I'll court her like an Irishman
# With me brogue and blarney too is my plan
# With the rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan bold O'Donoghue
# I wish my love was a red, red rose, growing on yon garden wall
# And I can be the dew drop and upon her brow I'd fall
# Perhaps now she might think on me as a rather heavy dew
# No more she'd love the handsome lad that they call O'Donoghue
# For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
# I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
# I'll court her like an Irishman
# With me brogue and blarney too is my plan
# With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan bold O'Donoghue
# I hear the Queen of England has a daughter fine and grand
# Perhaps she'd take it into her head for to marry an Irishman
# If I could only get the chance to have a word or two
# I'm sure she'd take a notion in the bold O'Donoghue
# For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
# I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
# I'll court her like an Irishman
# With me brogue and blarney too is my plan
# With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan bold O'Donoghue
# For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her

# With my rolligan, swalligan
# Holligan, wolligan bold O'Donoghue. #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you!
A fantastic way to have a beautiful knees-up,
The Mary Wallopers!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Absolutely beautiful.
OK, so I'm going to go
and chat over here now to one of the originators of soul music.
I'm delighted to welcome, in this corner, PP Arnold!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Lovely to see you.
Now, with The Mary Wallopers, in a little bit,
they're going to be playing a tribute to Shane McGowan,
who's somebody we sadly lost just last year.
But also, the other person we lost was the dear friend of yours,
earlier in the year, Tina Turner.
So let's have a round of applause for Tina, I think we should, yes!
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
So, she was a good friend of yours
and she was quite a mentor to you, wasn't she?
Yes, she was.
She actually turned my life around
and introduced me to the music industry.
I had never planned on being in the industry.
And, yeah, she was my mentor, and...
And when did she do that?
When did she get you into the music business?
Well, that was WAY back in 1964.
Wow. Many moons ago.
APPLAUSE
Not only was she simply the best... CHEERS
..R&B, rock and roll, soul female artist of our time.
She was an inspiration to women everywhere.
CHEERING
And for people everywhere,
on turning adversity into a positive thing
and manifesting your wildest dreams.
When she first had her comeback and started to create the new her,
she came in fact on The Tube and she did Let's Stay Together,
which she did with Heaven 17,
and that was her way of launching back into her new self.
So you're going to be doing that song for us tonight.
Yeah, I am. And, you know, that song is very special
because not only had she manifested her wildest dreams -
she had manifested true love in her life. Yeah.
And so that song Let's Stay Together
is quite an emotional one for Tina, you know,
to have found true love, and her version is a lot more emotional...
Well, Al Green, hey!
Bad, bad, bad. Yeah, yeah. But Tina's version is quite
emotional and wonderful. And so's yours.
We're looking forward to it. Happy New Year!
Oh, happy New Year. PP Arnold.
The lovely PP Arnold!
So, our next artist we are very pleased to have here.
She came on the series of Later, she's had a huge number one,
one of the biggest-selling records of this year.
She's written for Beyonce.
One of the biggest selling artists of 2023.
I'm so pleased that we have in this room now with us Raye!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Happy New Year!
Raye!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Like I said, I think this is one of the best rooms
we've had in here this evening, with the best lot of people I've seen...
And we've still got Sir Rod Stewart and Ruby Turner sitting here!
Now, you've been having a chat with Ruby. Been getting on?
Yeah, we have.
It's been a very successful evening, I think, so far.
What do you think, crowd?
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Very good so far.
So, first of all, Ruby,
have you got any dreams or hopes for the coming twelvemonth?
Oh, well, to continue in the same vein of, you know, positive
and hopeful and... Yeah.
Just keep going, really.
I think that's what we're all going to be doing.
Now, for our model railways, will you be building a new city for '24?
No, all my cities are done. It's sort of...
The audience don't know what we're talking about!
LAUGHTER
But we're both model railway fanatics
and that's why we got together, Jools and I.
CHEERING
It's a hobby that we love and we're very, very proud of.
You may laugh, if you wish, but we love it.
Exactly, we do. Now, what's the next...?
You've been doing some of these great swing songs
and you're a great swingist,
and they've been playing it on the radio.
What drew you, first of all, to the swing business?
Ah, I think it's all part of growing up, listening to
where rock and roll came from, where the blues came from.
And there's that transition period where, you know, it's swing
and all of a sudden it goes into rock and roll - they're connected.
They're connected. Absolutely, yeah. It's all the same, yeah.
Thank you, Joss. Yes. Thank you, darling.
Anyway, I'd like to invite you now over to the microphone.
Would you now please come and join us? I'd love to do that, Jools!
Come this way. It's going to be beautiful.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The marvellous Rod Stewart!
Come on now!
# What a day this has been
# What a rare mood I'm in
# Why, it's almost like being in love
# There's a smile on my face
# For the whole human race
# Why, it's almost like being in love
# All the music of life seems to be
# Like a bell that is ringing for me, nobody but me!
# And from the way that I feel

# Oh, yeah, I was falling
# Oh, baby, I think I'm falling in love

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Happy New Year!
JOOLS: Happy New Year.
Thank you, my brother.
The wonderful voice and amazing harmonica of Paul Jones!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Manfred Mann's first number one, a hit from 1964.
Now, over in this direction, we've got some more people, I think.
Let's just see who we've got at the table here.
Is Paul Whitehouse there?
I see Jim Moir's there,
and I see Bob Harris and Eddie Kadi,
and Jo Brand!
Happy New Year. Happy New Year to you. Happy New Year.
And happy New Year. Happy New Year.
Happy New Year. Lovely to see you.
And have you had to give up your seats for these people?
I was happy to do it.
OK, just checking. We don't want to force anybody into anything!
So, first of all, Bob,
have you got any dreams for this new year we're in now?
Well, I'm with Ruby, really.
Keep going. But I'm touring as well.
I've got this great tour coming up, pretty much half the year,
called The Songs The Beatles Gave Away.
And there were nearly 30 songs that were written by one or other
member of The Beatles that the group itself never recorded.
Well, they may have recorded them but they never released them.
So we're looking into those songs, who recorded them,
the story of those songs. What a fascinating thing to hear.
We'll hear all those songs that people hadn't heard.
That's a great thing, I'm looking forward to that.
So that's quite a busy new year you've got ahead of you.
Do you make resolutions?
Not really. Just to keep going.
I mean, I'm delighted to actually have made 2024,
to be absolutely honest.
We're delighted you're here.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
It's very nice to have you.
Eddie, how about you?
Are you a resolutionist, or are you...
I'm not. It's done on my behalf, to be fair, yeah. On your behalf?
Somebody does it for you? Someone does it for me, yeah.
You've employed someone?
No. It's just my mother. Oh.
She'll say, "Eddie, get a real job this year", you know? Yeah.
She's still not convinced by comedy, Jools. No, exactly.
Hey, Mum, look, he's here - what could be better? Exactly!
I was hoping this would be the change, you know?
I'm hoping Mum and Dad will see this and say,
"You know, this is a good career, yeah, with Jools Holland." Yes.
"This is good." Great, exactly.
Well, I hope they're watching.
That's such a nice thing, and lovely that Mum...
I feel we should all do that, don't you?
I mean, it'd be much easier if Mum and Dad,
if they're around, can make the resolutions for you because -
let's face it - they're going to be much better than
our own ones because they know best. They know best. Yes.
They tuck you up, your mum and dad - that's what I always say.
I wouldn't go that far!
LAUGHTER
I wouldn't go that far.
Anyway, so any other things you're looking forward to
in the coming 12 months?
You know what, yeah, I'm a big fan of Afrobeat,
it's been a great year for Afrobeat, so I'm looking
forward to more events, stadiums being sold out. Yes.
You know, there's a great artist, Fally Ipupa, who's Congolese,
where I'm from, and I want the world to discover that.
I'm a great fan of Congolese rumba music so...
CHEERING
I love a bit of rumba
and I love a bit of Congolese, so I'd be delighted to hear it.
Yeah! I'm always ready to learn something new, so I'd like to
put those two together. Listen, it's all about the hips.
We shake our hips nonstop. Our hips don't lie, they tell the truth,
nothing but the truth. Yeah! Yeah, that's right.
Did your mum tell you that?
Absolutely. Yes, exactly!
LAUGHTER
I got my script from my mum. Jo, you're back with us here.
How has everybody been behaving themselves over in this corner?
That table over there have been behaving impeccably.
Is that the table with Mr Moir and Mrs Moir and the..
Oh, no, not them! God, no.
LAUGHTER
Now you've seen all this,
what are you looking forward to next year, really?
I'm looking forward to being too old to work.
LAUGHTER
And I'm also looking forward to being able...
I am, though.
CHEERING
47 children and too old to work!
It's going to take a while, Jo, it's going to take a while.
And also secretly wetting myself without anyone noticing.
LAUGHTER Thank you for the great advice.
I know a lot of the audience
are identifying very much with that right now.
I wasn't going to come in here, but can I just get behind you, Mrs Moir?
Yeah, yeah. You're looking lovely in your red dress.
But you're both still here.
I'm quite surprised that security haven't taken a view or anything.
Surprising, yeah! What are you going to say...
What are you going to say?
I'm going to... I don't want to put him on the spot.
His last prediction was so great about the extended chins
for this year... Yeah.
I mean, I don't think it can be topped, but is there anything
else that you think that we might be needing this year?
I mean... You've just totally contradicted yourself. How?
Well, you just went, "I don't think I should ask him
"about anything now he's predicted chins," and then you did.
No, I was just going to show him. I was just showing him
on the telly - I wasn't going to ask him. What, you want more?
I was just showing him, a picture of him, saying,
"That's what he looks like - he was the bloke who said it."
When we're in the edit suite, I'm cutting all this.
LAUGHTER It's marvellous to have you here.
Thank you very much. It's marvellous to have you all here.
You've all been absolutely ravishing and beautiful with
your lovely suggestions, lovely tour, which we're looking out for.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The sensational and amazing Joss Stone!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, now I am going to go over there, I'm going to see Shaun Keaveny,
I'm going to see Vinette Robinson, I hope.
Where have they gone? Ah, there they are.
I've got a lovely chair next to them and some more lovely guests
I'm going to be meeting over there in a moment.
It's nice to see you've put a tie on this evening.
So, first of all, Vinette, tell us, do you make resolutions?
No. No. Well, getting through the day with this guy,
but, you know, I like to keep the bar low. Yeah. Thanks very much.
It's nice and must be nice being part of a resolution, Shaun?
It is, it's nice for somebody to make the decision for me,
to be honest. Yes. I've got to get my cholesterol down in 2024. Yes.
My GP has told me very distinctly it has to be 2024.
Is anybody else doing that, getting their cholesterol down for 2024?
CHEERING
Yes, OK, well done. Statins. Yeah.
How very New Year's Eve-y of you.
And between the two of you,
you must have some great dream you have for '24?
Well, I don't know, really.
Honestly, that performance just then has brought me to tears.
She's amazing, isn't she? It's one of the most incredible things.
I think one of my great ambitions for 2024 is to see
this performance live in a massive arena.
I think that would be a wonderful thing. She's fantastic, I know,
she's really... Muireann, you're absolutely marvellous.
Really amazing. Out of interest, where did you get that one from?
The Candy Man, where did you first hear it?
I heard, like, my dad used to listen to it so much when I was growing up.
Well done, Dad. Yeah. Thank you. It's great. There you go.
So, anybody who's listening, when you're playing records,
people are listening.
I'm just going to move over to these people here for a moment,
and I'm delighted to say I've got
Nicola Coughlan and Maggie Aderin-Pocock, who was here...
CHEERING
..last year with predictions and her predictions were
there were going to be meteorites.
Meteor showers, yes. Meteor showers. And there were.
Yeah, that's a pretty reliable prediction.
They come every year, so. Yes, yeah, exactly.
I think I ought to make a new prediction. Yes, would it be?
I think we're going to discover alien life next year.
CHEERING
That's a big prediction.
I'm doing this because I'm bound to get it wrong
and then you have to invite me back to make fun of me.
To humiliate you, yeah, let's play that back!
So, listen, everybody, you heard it here first, at the very
beginning of the year, these nascent moments of 2024 -
alien life will appear on planet Earth.
I think alien life is definitely out there. Yes.
But I'm very excited also about going back to the moon, because it's
been over 50 years since we've been to the moon,
it's been 12 white guys that have been to the moon
and we're sending a woman at last. So...
CHEERING
Anybody we know? Actually, I met her, I met the woman.
I don't think she's going to go this year but I think in
the next few years, there will be a lot of focus on the moon.
What a great thing.
Now, Nicola, would you have thought about at all going?
If somebody asks you, would you go to the moon?
I'd be, like, no, get out. Yes. Please! Send me somewhere nice!
If you're like, would you like to go to a ski chalet?
I'd be like, lovely. The moon, I'd be terrified.
I'd go, Jesus, this is too far.
Yeah. I would get an existential crisis.
No nice restaurants, horrid hotel. Oh, please, I'd go on, like,
oh, it's a bit like cheese. It's too much! Hear, hear. Yeah.
Well, it is made of cheese, that's well-known. I'm allergic to cheese.
I think, God bless everyone that goes there,
but it's too much for me. Yes.
Yeah, I mightn't be the person on Earth to send there.
So that's very good to know, that's not going to be your ambition
or your hope for '24. Yes. What would they be? Oh, gosh, well,
I filmed a bunch of stuff that's finally coming out in 2024.
Bridgerton, Big Mood...
CHEERING
..and Doctor Who. Doctor Who, great. Yeah!
You also, I should say, because you were in Barbie. Whoa! I was, yes.
CHEERING
I know.
Did you get a Barbie of yourself?
There was a very, very special thing, like,
also meeting Ryan Gosling was almost too much.
I walked into the set, and they were, like, do you want to meet him?
I went, I know my limits, and no, because he had no top on,
it was too... He was...he was...
Hang on, they tried to push you into a room
with a half-naked Ryan Gosling?
He was just sort of there and I was, like, oh, gosh.
And he's sort of a comic genius and he had no top on.
I went, oh, God, no, please, no.
But then I've met him since and he's an absolute delight.
He's wonderful. Oh good.
Yeah. It's really... I've got a Barbie doll. You have, of you? Yes.
Oh, that is great. They made a Barbie doll of me.
I wish they'd make a... Oh! She's a real-life Barbie.
That's really impressive.
Do you know what, I've always wanted to make a Ken of me,
you know, Ken's mate, Jools. Oh, you're just Ken and you're enough.
You're great at doing stuff.
Oh, thanks very much, that's really nice of you to say.
We've got to move along. Thank you, lovely to see you
both, thanks for your predictions. Thank you for having us.
Thank you to all of our guests. CHEERING
Here. And there. Thank you, everything all right there still?
You're all looking very well, still, surprisingly.
Marvellous. Now, all well over there still?
Great, good. Yes, good, excellent.
So, now, I'm going over to our next artist,
and she had a wonderful hit with this record this year -
no, not this year, last year -
and we're going to be hearing loads and loads more from her.
It is the superb Olivia Dean.

# Last night, as I slept

ROD: Now, let me take over the show now and give a special
round of applause to one of the most loveliest men I've ever met.
The one and only Jools Holland, please. Come on now.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you very much.
Thank you, thank you for appearing on the show.
Marvellous to have the fantastic Rod Stewart here this evening.
We love you madly, Rod. We shall see you very soon.
And now I'm going to go over here for a quick chat,
over in this direction, with Olivia Dean and Paul Jones.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, first of all, Paul, have you got...? Do you keep resolutions
or do you just barge from one year to the next?
I don't do resolutions because I always break them,
but if you don't do resolutions, you can actually make progress.
That's good, that's a good way forward.
Anything you're looking for... Any dreams or hopes for next year?
Erm, yes, I'm looking forward to hearing lots more
from your fabulous orchestra.
Well, thank you, that was the correct response. I agree.
Here are the hundred guineas. It was sounding fantastic,
but you played...
Because you're the greatest harmonica player on Earth, one.
Two - blues harmonica player on Earth - two, you played
two number-one records there, and the Manfreds, I think,
it's a big anniversary for them now.
Absolutely, we've been celebrating 60 years,
because that's actually how long the band's been in existence.
It actually began at the end of '62,
so it's 61 years, really,
but the actual hit, I mean, Do Wah Diddy, for instance,
that won't be 60 until May. March!
May, May. Oh, hang on then, we'll edit it out then! Yeah!
But it's very nice have to have you here.
Now, Olivia, it's been a huge year for you.
You've been on tour in America, people... It's all been going mad.
So, presumably, you're hoping for more of that sort of thing.
What are your hopes and dreams for next year?
Pfft. I'd like to learn how to drive.
AUDIENCE WHOOP That's a very practical... Yes!
APPLAUSE
Why not? Smart, smart. Why not?
And where would you...would you start by getting a car?
I think I start with the theory test.
Yes, start with the theory test.
Not very optimistic then? Well, yeah, I don't know.
I've got a car if you need to buy it. What kind of car you got?
A reasonable one, I'll come to that in a minute.
Oh, right, OK. I'll have a look.
Now, that's very good, I think it's a very good idea to
learn to drive, and that's a very good resolution.
Yeah, I think it's simple. I mean, it's not going to be simple,
but could happen. Yeah, exactly.
And I think, and any other hopes for the coming year?
Because you got a new record coming out, you're going to be recording.
Yeah, just more of the same, really, another album,
some more tours, more bums in seats and more music. Yeah.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Yeah, exactly, I think that's all we can ask for.
And the wonderful Raye here, are you a fan of Raye's?
I am the biggest fan of Raye, she's fantastic. No, you're not, I am!
Anyway, I'm going to stop you there, we're going to...
Thank you very much, Paul, thank you, Olivia, let's hear it for them.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Now, 2023 marked 50 years since the death of the great Noel Coward,
so a great fan of his has decided to do a tribute to him this evening.
We welcome back Raye!
