I know someone who will love a bit of
social distance dancing it's Tom Allen
hello Tom I'm good thank you
you love the show you look like you're
in a jungle well I thought I'd make it
more sort of and more like a set so I
just sort of stir some mother's house
plants and doing I'm still choking on
ferns at the moment isn't very good and
Tom how are you finding things because I
don't know if you're like me where when
you go out and you kind of you know
you're panicking about people being
close to you and what to do and what the
etiquette is how are you finding it and
what I do step is I go out later in the
evening so just as it's getting dark
when it's a bit quieter on the pavement
and I do that because that's when people
have the lights on in the front room and
I can have a good nose well I've got a
suggestion for trying to keep people
away as well so have a look and tell me
what you think about it Tom all right
a giant hula hoop and look at this bit
as a jogger starts coming out to them
they have to move brilliant that's a
great idea good to wear one of them so
much it's a bit like wearing a big sort
of Victorian crinoline dress isn't it
maybe they'll make a comeback I hope so
but it is funny isn't it because
obviously we're all adapting to this new
world now and all of these rules and and
I understand that your mom had a bit of
bother on her walk out Oh mother
Steff mother's been in trouble with the
Popo yes with that with the feds and
with the five-o
yes she went out for a walk yesterday
with dad and she was just looking in the
window of an estate agents and and then
she got told off because she stopped and
the police a police officer came over
and said you're not supposed to be
looking in the window it's not a time
for mooching it's actually a time for
it's it's actually a time for for
exercise only and she was very upset
because she's never been in trouble with
with the pets before
oh that's mad isn't it but I suppose you
know the police of China doing their job
as well but well they arrested her and
she's in prison now
[Laughter]
I must pop down and get and do the bail
maybe later but it's so difficult to get
out of a house I want to explain about
Linda in a sec but I just want to ask
you first you you know if you ever do
Verde do you still do it in your suit I
don't have a duvet day because I'm
always working sense and I don't believe
in time off so I mean I guess I'm just
I'm just unusual I love it you mister
starched pajamas don't worry I you
pajamas I bet you do tell me oh yeah
tell me about you're sure with Linda cuz
you too you're my main competition of
the minute I'm here with Steph you
flatter me calling it show basically I
was bored during the lockdown and so I
decided that create a show and you can't
always you know it sometimes nice to
have a co-host in these matters so I
decided to get Linda involved yeah and
what I realized is doing during the the
Smackdown as I like to call it you can
you can just invent friends got you you
can invent a world of your own creation
and and you can have all the fun you
like so we created a sort of idea for a
magazine share with you will not as not
as refined as your Steph I don't have a
bomb ket in my kitchen for example is
that so that you've got in front of the
that's why I was gonna ask you about
that it was that your was that your own
creation or did the kitchen designer
that's in as if I had a kitchen designer
I just walked and then it looked like
this deaf don't put yourself down
get yourself designer do you know what
though I am starting to copy you because
look this is say everybody can have
friends look it looks like your friend
is a little bit paler than mine i she's
some I don't have she needs a a bit more
a little bit of iron in our diet yeah
she's out as well because it's inside
you know we're going through this
together aren't we and I thought what if
you can't try and have a laugh with it
what can you do you know laughing is
sometimes a good way of coping
yeah I totally agree with you that's why
I wanted to do this show just so we
could all get together having a bit of a
laugh but what are you doing exercise
wise are you might be
barely anything but no I have been doing
i I do boxing lessons with the trainer
and I do that over the FaceTime which
has been unusual I mean when I say that
I realize have to explain I don't just
bash up my laptop when I have a boxing
lesson over FaceTime because I'd be I'd
be great I definitely win every round if
it was just me against the laptop but no
he's got me shadow boxing whichever have
you done it you sort of after like yeah
yeah look like a right idiot but you do
feel tired afterwards and that's a good
thing isn't it and then once I've done
that and then I feel I actually put a
lot better after exercise I have to say
I feel a lot more a lot less kind of
stressed about everything so I do
recommend it anyway I think it's
anything really do it online Zumba class
you know that they can't get you know
once you know they can't they can't
because they're concentrating on how
they look on the video call and exactly
I haven't looked at you once doing this
I've been looking at myself in the
corner of my screen give you the chance
to look at yourself even more because we
want to show a clip of you're sure with
Lindsey let's have a look at this oh
welcome to another locked in with me Tom
Allen it's the magazine show no one
really cares about and today I thought
I'd talk to you about homeschooling I
know a lot of people having very
stressful times what do you mean you
finished your work already that's
supposed to last you all week choice me
show it to me
what would mrs. King say I'm gonna I'm
gonna get his company how do you get
about that sit down sit down
she's gonna come I know she's in
isolation but you can get on facebook on
she looking watching it back it is
somebody just having a breakdown isn't
it step but um I sort of think
everybody's probably having a breakdown
one way or another so we may as well it
like I say may as well all just do it at
the same time I know exactly I mean I
I'm started talking to the sound man
bingo when he's not even a you know just
because I'm so used to talking in this
room to myself oh that's that maybe you
could get like a cut out on like a
railway yeah on a railway track outside
wave wave at you like in home alone I
love it he's got a lovely house
everybody's saying it nothing half that
Scott corner sofa you can't go wrong can
you honestly
