34:00

Mo Salah is very keen on chess, he says he plays

34:02

every day. Harry Kane says

34:04

he's about 1200 on chess.com, which

34:06

is actually a pretty decent player. And

34:08

we know a few other footballers have

34:10

been playing online. I think they probably play

34:12

between each other. And I reckon we should

34:14

have a competition between them, find the best

34:17

football in the premiership. That would be

34:19

fantastic. What a lovely idea. And you say no if any

34:21

of the royal family actually play, cause I can imagine if

34:23

you are a king and you're playing

34:25

a king, you know, you move

34:27

around the house very slowly or? It's

34:30

interesting that. I did meet Princess Anna

34:32

nice to her if she played and

34:34

she didn't. And also, but

34:36

we think, I mean, we think that Diana taught

34:39

the boys how to play. All right. So

34:41

I think that they have some sort of knowledge

34:43

of chess. Princess then gravitates when she's the knight,

34:45

wouldn't she? Exactly. Exactly. It's the

34:47

only part you're interested in probably moving. So

34:49

it sounds good. Fantastic. Fantastic.

34:53

People couldn't, yeah, just turn up. Do they own the

34:55

day? Just turn up from 11 o'clock on Sunday at

34:57

Trafalgar Square and it will all be happening. You'll see

34:59

the giant chess sets for a long way off and

35:01

we're having a transatlantic match. Madonna's gonna play one

35:03

of the American prodigies. That'll be on the big screen.

35:06

On the screen, okay. And there's another chess fest going

35:08

on in Hull. So we're gonna be playing some other

35:10

kids from Hull. We're gonna play some kids from London.

35:14

Usually we play Liverpool, but theirs is in a couple of

35:16

weeks time. We usually lose to them, but you know. Oh,

35:18

right. And Chess in Schools, is

35:20

that a charity that's set up? That's it,

35:22

yeah. chessinschools.co.uk, it's a charity, it's set up

35:25

in 2010 to put chess in state schools.

35:27

Because it was always, Chessin's always been in

35:29

private schools. That's just normal, but I discovered

35:31

it more or less disappeared in state schools.

35:33

So we set up this charity and we've

35:35

taught over a quarter million children out play.

35:37

Fantastic. We're currently in like 300 schools every

35:39

week, teaching children this great game. Brilliant, fantastic.

35:41

Malcolm, lovely to see you. Malcolm, thank you

35:43

so much. It goes well. And so Madonna's

35:45

a good game. That's quite a story as

35:47

35:52

35:54

you say. Remember the name, that's right. The

35:56

37:57

there's been other stories Charlie. They've not really been

38:00

making getting

38:02

much traction with everything going on. If

38:05

only I can find her, I've got a note here. It's the

38:07

world's oldest woman and he is obsessed

38:09

at certainly in his advancing years and finding out

38:11

what the oldest people in the world put it

38:13

down to the people who live 210. They normally

38:16

they're normally interviewed in the UK if they've made it

38:19

200 and they go well nice.

38:22

They either go I eat fresh

38:24

vegetables and drink water and stretch or they go

38:26

oh I have 50 fags

38:28

a day. Yeah. Whiskey's been a whiskey. Quite a

38:30

lot of them say they have a little fish

38:32

and chips twice a week. Okay

38:36

this is so if we take notice

38:38

of these people that live to a

38:40

right old age. This is Amentina dos

38:43

Santos. Oh yeah. She's known as Donna

38:45

Julia. She lives in Argentina.

38:47

No she lives in Parana in Brazil. Well

38:50

in Parana. Parana. Oh okay.

38:53

A woman who is believed to be the oldest

38:55

person in the world has just turned 124 and she puts

38:57

it down to boiled

39:02

eggs and cake. So

39:05

if you can stand that if you're sort of

39:07

approaching 70 or whatever and you're thinking I can

39:09

stand a diet of boiled eggs and cake. You

39:11

will be here for you know quite

39:13

a long time. You'll get another 60 years almost out

39:16

of it. I often think it's just luck Paul if

39:18

I'm honest. Yeah I think it is. I think it's

39:20

luck if you can live a relatively stress-free life enjoy

39:22

yourself. You know I don't want to get too

39:24

old. Do you want to get too old? No. This

39:26

is it. It's good to talk nihilism. Do

39:31

you want to get 0371? I don't want to get too

39:33

old. Do

39:36

you want to get too old? I think.

39:38

Now if you've got a bad case

39:40

of the swollen hurlocks. Don't do don't

39:42

do Paul for the

39:44

Russian and diamonds. You've gone absolutely route

39:46

one and it almost isn't ambiguous

39:49
