00:00Obviously, you're back for a second time around now.
00:04Tell me a little bit about what we can expect this time around.
00:08Well, the boss tells me.
00:10No, no, to be fair, first things, first things, first things.
00:14I know it's not true, but I like saying it.
00:16I'm allowed to say that.
00:18I mean, there's so much to say.
00:20I mean, our biggest problem is actually has always been what do we what do we try and put into these these moments that we have when we're on television
00:29or when we're we're on tour.
00:31And I think we you know, we did nine series.
00:34And if you think about sometimes a 47 minute television show could take 18 months to film.
00:41OK, so there's there's so much stuff to always share.
00:44And we know we get lots of questions.
00:46So we kind of, you know, we know the things that people would like to see here.
00:50But our first tour, which, oh, my gosh, we love Australia.
00:55We did love it. Yeah.
00:56I mean, Dorothy, especially what came back, wanted to turn the chateau into a kangaroo sanctuary when she grows up.
01:04It's hard to explain that when you haven't got the real need for a kangaroo sanctuary in deepest France.
01:09But that was the impact that we had.
01:13And our first tour, our Dare to Do It tour, was really kind of explaining the background of who we were, how we came together.
01:21And really, it took everyone up until the point that we found the chateau.
01:27But you can imagine in the last 10 years, we've had 10 years of filming, 10 years of renovation.
01:33And this show is is as a few highlights from the first show, because that is really important.
01:38If someone is coming for the first time, we don't want to go straight into here.
01:42We're Dick and Angel.
01:43We bought a chateau. But it but it really explains more the how we did it and the stories attached with that.
01:51From the television years and all the times we did things, there's a lot of stories there.
01:56And that was really hard.
01:58But so what we've done is we've actually we tell the story about us and how we got together, how we end up in a chateau.
02:03So then we talk we tell the story about, you know, sort of things that have happened on our journey and, you know, how much it's cost and what we've done and why we've done it.
02:11And then we have we have fun in the second half.
02:13We'll come back to that in a moment.
02:14But we have about a quarter of the show allows people to ask us questions.
02:18And that has been that's been really, really interesting because everywhere we've gone, the questions have been different.
02:24And it really challenges us because we will talk about anything.
02:28But it's interesting to see when people sort of ask you about what's really affected you.
02:32And so it gives people a chance to sort of ask from their perspective what they want to know.
02:37It's really I mean, the whole show is really been interactive.
02:41We've you know, we really enjoy that side of it anyway.
02:44But as Dick said, there's something that happens in the second half and it's called the jack of all trades.
02:51And it's really sort of stemmed from the mentality of, you know, we we have our skill sets.
02:58Dick's an engineer.
02:59You know, I do accountancy, business design.
03:03But actually, we have done so many different things over the years.
03:07It's always you know, if you've got that candor mentality, we believe anyone can do anything.
03:12So we we kind of challenge the audience.
03:14So in the first half, while we're telling our story, we throw to the audience lots of different questions and essentially win their place on stage.
03:23And in the second half, there's four contestants that come up and they basically say, yeah, we challenge them with different tasks.
03:33Prove that they can do it.
03:37They can do it.
03:38And it's wonderful because we have people who sort of end up coming up there and I get to choose people as well.
03:43And we get to choose somebody as well.
03:44Random to come up.
03:45The wild card.
03:45Yeah, the wild card.
03:46But when they come up, they have a go.
03:48And it's a lot of fun.
03:49Arthur and Dorothy are on the stage at that time.
03:51And they're interviewing them and talking to them.
03:53And, you know, we just have fun.
03:55And so what can they expect to find out more about us?
03:58We will actually sort of explain who we are, why we do it, how we do it.
04:02And by the end of it, do you know, means when we go into the after the show, meet and greet and meet people, they know us.
04:08And you've seen us on telly, but they actually know us by the time we get to that.
04:11It really does.
04:12It's a really intimate show.
04:14And as Dick said, it's not just me and Dick, it's the children.
04:19And, you know, they, we often just have people come up to us after, they steal the show.
04:25And rightly so, they're gorgeous.
04:27And what's really...
04:28Mummy, mummy, mummy.
04:29Pray mummy, pray mummy.
04:30But actually, it's quite funny because the children came on the whole of the UK tour with us.
04:36And so Campbell will have, and Newcastle, all the towns, the places that we are visiting,
04:42they all get a special sort of prize at the end.
04:47But people take this really seriously, rightly so.
04:51And there can sometimes be lots of concentration.
04:56So the children will be there, excited to have mics and asking them questions.
05:00People were like, you know, I'm making a wreath for the first time in my life.
05:04Or whatever, you know, whatever we decide.
05:05Because obviously, you know, we're travelling, so it, on planes a lot, so it is different.
05:09And Arthur and Dorothy, it was hilarious.
05:16Arthur will just be a stand-up comedian.
05:19Why everyone is just, you know, they, the children have embraced...
05:22You're very gushy.
05:23No, what I'm saying is...
05:24You're very gushy, mummy.
05:25They have embraced the show.
05:27They love it.
05:28It's the whole family having a bit of fun with the audience.
05:31There you go.
05:32You asked the first question.
05:33How was that aiming for an answer?
05:35Yeah.
05:39What do you think, if you can listen to this little activity or anything else?
05:45OK.
05:46So, these are the audios and diagnostics that you can see.
05:48And to the extent of that, please.
05:49It is because of charisma trying to come.
05:52And there's...
05:55знает how much energy like.
05:57In the sense of the family.
05:59That'sEEP chasing you.
06:00It's appreciate that...
06:01漏津.
06:02Why are you feeling like it?
06:04Me your mind is concerned in the sense of growth.
06:06OK.
