It is time to find out who will be tonight's
Unexpected Star of the show!
For the past three series, we have been surprising unsuspecting
members of the public and making their dreams come true
on this very stage.
We've had so many wonderful surprises, this was Ciara,
Sanjna, Christmas sliding onto the stage, Stella -
amazing performances.
They had, like, an hour to turn this around to perform for you.
Little Anush was amazing,
Andy our fireman, so many spectacular moments.
And it's never gone wrong, which makes me incredibly tense
every time we do it again!
So let's find out who is going be tonight's Unexpected Star.
This is David Owen.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING He is from Beaconsfield,
he will hopefully tonight, if everything goes to plan,
become our oldest Unexpected Star of the show by some distance.
He's 91 years old.
So, David thinks he's coming to London this evening to buy
a new walking frame...
..at a shop around the corner to this theatre.
But it is not a real shop, we altered it slightly.
This was it earlier today, and here it is now.
We Frame U! See what we've done there!
We're kind of framing him and framing him.
So, David was nominated by his son, Chris, who is coming to the shop
with him, and I think we can go live now,
hopefully, to the shop, and they should be in there.
All right, this is going on right now. There is David.
He's in his shades, he's looking super-cool
and he is in for quite a night.
That's his son with him, Chris, he's got other children
in the audience, and I'm going to have a chat with them now.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's Wendy and Tim. Sorry...
I'm so sorry!
I used the word children...
I'm so sorry that I did that!
It's Wendy and Tim!
The kids! The kids.
The kids are out tonight.
So tell us all about David.
Tell us about his singing.
Well, he's always loved to sing,
he's got a fantastic voice still now, at this age.
He goes to old people's home, he likes to put shows on himself...
Amazing. He always sings, he goes karaoke.
What's his karaoke classic? what does he sing?
My Way, really. Oh, yeah.
Well, with a bit of luck, he might be singing that tonight.
And do you think he'll appreciate this?
He loves it cos he'd love to give his voice to the whole world.
I'm a bit nervous to ask you this, but has he got...
..do you think he's got any idea who I am?
Does he watch the show?
If he's got his glasses on, he might know who you are, yes.
Well, he's got his shades on. Are they prescription? No chance!
No chance! OK, thank you so, so much.
Thank you, Wendy. Thank you, Michael.
Thank you so much.
All right, brilliant, so...
Let's see how this goes.
He's in our shop, We Frame U.
We have an actor in there, Donna, and I'm going
to communicate with her.
Donna, if you can hear me, spread your arms and say,
"It's Zimmer time!"
Right, it's Zimmer time!
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Let's go. What have we got?
OK, this is the Zimmatron XP5000.
This is the Zimmatron XP5000.
It comes with speedometer and sat nav.
So you can programme the sat nav.
Well, you can programme the sat nav to take you
to your favourite destinations.
Post office. Like the post office...
Bus stop. Bus stop... Living room. Living room.
Just walk.
You pop your destination in, and you just follow the arrow.
Yeah, just get a taxi. It's only had one lady owner.
It's had one lady owner. For seven years.
For seven years. And it's done 0.8 miles.
And it's done 0.8 miles.
This might tempt you, actually.
With every purchase over £50...
..you get a free carriage clock. And then show him the clock.
And demonstrate it, like a game show host.
APPLAUSE
All right, well, if you're not interested in that one...
Well, if you're not interested in that one...
..may I interest you in the Walking Stick Mega-cane Turbo XL?
..may I interest you in the Walking Stick Mega-cane XL?
This one comes with a hooter. This one comes with a hooter.
OK, it does come with a Werther's detector.
It does come with a Werther's detector, though.
FAST BEEPING
APPLAUSE
Yeah?
Let's get back to the frames. Let's get back to the frames.
So, outside, ladies and gentlemen, we have Lionel Blair.
Lionel, can you enter the shop now and say,
"Hi, I'm Lionel Blair, I'm 89."
Hi, I'm Lionel Blair, and I'm 89.
And I'm here to buy your BlingZimm. Do you have one?
Yes, I think you're talking about this.
Oh, it goes with my jacket at home!
# Maria, Maria, I've just seen a chap called Maria! #
And I'm 91.
APPLAUSE
Lionel, go over and say hello to David.
Hello, David!
Oh... Oh!
How did you know I was David?
I just know. GROANING
I remember you. How do you do?
All right, yes. Do you remember me?
Of course I do. Oh, that's wonderful.
Oh, thank you.
Now, I'll tell you what I'd like to do... Yes?
..is road-test, test-walk.
Can I do that? Yes.
Would you look after my coat for me? Oh, yeah, of course, not a problem.
Thank you very much.
# The world is alive with the sound of music! #
Look at that! OK, take it for a walk.
How did he know I was David? You must have met him. Yeah.
It's got a lovely movement. He said, "David!"
Could I borrow your stage and try out my BlingZimm?
Yeah, of course. Right...
Have a little dance.
# There's no business like show business... #
Lionel, start tap dancing. Keep going.
# Everything about it is appealing... #
OK, say, "I'll take it, I'll take it."
I'll take it! I'm going to take it.
OK. "How did you know I was called David?"
I can't believe he's walked in and gone, "Hello, David!"
I mean, that didn't get past David at all, did it?!
He keeps turning to his son, going, "How does he know I'm David?!"
So I think what I should do, I'm going to go round there now,
and I'm going to talk to David, who's now saying,
"How do you know me?!"
The next time you see me, I'm going to be with David
on this stage, and please give him an amazing welcome.
He already seems brilliant and hopefully, he's going
to be a sensational Unexpected Star!
I don't know what they're talking about! I'll see you in a minute.
OK, you wait here, I'll be back with David.
DAVID SINGS
I'm going to be 90 in December.
90? Yes.
All right, yes. Well, I'm 92.
Well... Still singing.
And still dancing. Yeah.
No, no, not quite dancing.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Lionel. My dear sir, you're amazing too.
I'm doing a show next to you.
You're not! I was popping in to see how the shop was doing.
You're not! Yes, I've just bought,
because I'm doing a show on tour, I've just bought the Bling.
We've sold a BlingZimm? The BlingZimm.
Well, cos I'm the brand ambassador here
for the walking frames.
They're basically trying to break in to the youth market,
and they thought I would be good for that.
# Maria, Maria! #
Oh!
How are you? How are you? Nice to see you.
Michael. Yes. What a wonderful voice you have.
Well, I sent in an application hoping to get on to your show.
Really?! # Maria, Maria! #
As a singing star?
# A girl named Maria! #
I mean, this series we've got everybody,
but you should apply for next series, we can sort that out.
Yes, yes. Amazing. I sent in an application, but...
Right. ..I wasn't lucky.
Such a shame.
Yes, such a shame you weren't fortunate.
If I could tell you a little secret.
Yes. There's a reason why Lionel knew you were called David.
We ALL know who you are, David, because of course
I got your application from your son to be on my show.
We're filming you right now, David.
Look, there's a camera right here, and right in there,
and there's actually a man with a camera in here,
filming you, for the TV show Michael McIntyre's Big Show!
No!
And your family are waiting, Wendy and your other son, Tim.
Oh! They're sitting there watching you right now in the theatre
and I'm going to take you across. Yeah.
And you're going to sing for the theatre and for the millions
watching at home, My Way, if you would agree, David.
I would agree. Will you be our Unexpected Star of the show?
Wave to the audience who are watching.
Let's get you over there. That was brilliant.
Your voice is wonderful. Fantastic.
And it's been a pleasure to meet you.
Pleasure to meet you as well.
Really fantastic. One day we'll do a show together.
Why not? Why not?
This is very exciting. All right.
Good luck, David. Bye!
So this, David, is your carriage, and I'm going to drive you straight
on to the stage of the theatre next door.
You get the door.
So you're going to get on the back here, is that all right? Yes, fine.
All right, we're on. Brilliant. Hold on tight.
All right, let me know when you're in.
I'm OK. OK.
Wave to the camera, we're setting off,
let's do this, Dave.
Buckle up!
MICHAEL HUMS FORMULA 1 THEME
We're nearly there, don't worry. Oh, right.
This is actually the Theatre Royal, you see it there, see the sign?
Oh, Theatre Royal, yes.
This is going to be a sensational night,
if I can find the brake.
Here we go.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
Ladies and gentlemen, it's our Unexpected Star of the show -
it's David!
Oh, wow... David, as you can see, over there is your daughter, Wendy,
and your son, Tim. Hi.
Hi, Dad. Hi, Dad. There they are. We've been waiting in here for you.
Yes. David, how are you feeling about this enormous surprise?
Well, I'm overwhelmed!
AUDIENCE: Aww!
It's very overwhelming. Overwhelmed, yes, yes.
I think that, well, it's...it's unexpected!
Over 2,000 people here, they're all rooting
for you massively, aren't we? CHEERING
Yes, we are, David!
So we're going to take you backstage, we've got an amazing
outfit for you, costume, you're going to look the part
and you are going to nail this song later.
Well, I hope so.
As I say, it's an absolute privilege to be here,
at my age - I'm 92 next year, next month.
92 next month! Extraordinary.
My voice is all right, but the rest of me's falling apart.
All right, well, it's the voice that we will enjoy later on
if you'll agree, David,
to be tonight's Unexpected Star of the show.
Delighted. Absolutely delighted.
Ladies and gentlemen, it's David!
Our Unexpected Star of the show!
We'll see him later on.
See you, David.
Ladies and gentlemen, singing his favourite song, My Way,
it's our 91-year-old Unexpected Star of the show,
David Owen.
APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
# And now the end is near
# And so I face the final curtain
# My friend, I'll state it clear
# I'll state my case of which I'm certain
# I've lived a life that's full
# I've travelled each and every highway
# And more, much more than this
# I did it my way
# Yes, there were times I'm sure you knew
# When I bit off more than I could chew
# But through it all when there was doubt
# I ate it up and spat it out
# I faced it all and I stood tall
# And did it my way
# I've loved, I've laughed and cried
# I've had my fill My share of losing
# But now as tears subside
# I find it all so amusing
# To think I did all that
# And may I say not in a shy way
# Oh, no No, no, not me
AUDIENCE: # I did it my way
# For what is a man? What has he got?
# If not himself, then he has naught
# To say the things he truly feels
# And not the words of one who kneels
# I faced it all and I stood tall
# And did it my way. #
SUSTAINED APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
