I grew up with you. I think you're an absolute legend
0:02
And you must be delighted that you finally got your MBE. Well done, sir
0:07
Absolutely, and thank you very much indeed. Yeah, I'm so honoured, you know, to get it
0:11
I could not believe it when I got the letter saying, you know, they were going to honour me with it
0:16
I can't wait to go and collect it now. And, Paul, no doubt when you go and meet His Majesty
0:21
you might have some kind of funny quip to say to him. What are you going to say to me, to your Majesty
0:26
Well, I might say not from you, to me, hopefully. It depends who it is, doesn't it, as well
0:33
You know, I might be shtum. Sometimes I can't say things, but who knows
0:40
I mean, I'm just really looking forward to collecting it. You know, I feel so, so, so honoured
0:46
It's fabulous. And, Paul, of course, as well as services to comedy
0:49
which this wasn't for, though heaven knows it perhaps should have been, this was for services, your recognition of your fundraising
0:57
for Marie Curie for Cancer, of course, because your brother, Barry, sadly passed away of bone cancer
1:04
And since that time you kind of made one of your missions to raise awareness And that is why the King has given you the nod Tell us about your charity work Well both Barry and I were both ambassadors for Marie Curie
1:16
for about six, seven years before Barry passed away. It was just such a fabulous thing
1:22
You know, you know so many people that have been looked after by Marie Curie
1:25
in the later years. That's obviously because of the age we are, getting to that sort of age
1:31
Lots of our friends and family are passing away. and the manicure, just everything
1:36
When my father-in-law passed away, he was on, say, his deathbed, and a manicure nurse sat up with my wife all night long
1:47
You know, she didn't have to, but they sat there for like seven or eight hours with her
1:50
You know, it was just wonderful people. They do a lot more than people realise they do
1:56
And they're all nurses as well, you know, can administer drugs and stuff if they needed to
2:01
and they were so kind with Barry at the end obviously and then I've just carried on
2:08
after Barry passed away, I've carried on doing it all I've got a big one coming up this Daffodil
2:12
Peel, this March we're really looking forward to that one you know
