Ray Winstone reveals plans to be the new Jack Regan on this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross
Indiana Jones star Ray Winstone talks to Jonathan Ross this Friday about his role in Indiana Jones And The Kingdom Of The Crystal Skull.

And he reveals that he is to star in a movie remake of Seventies TV cop classic The Sweeney, reprising the role of Jack Regan created by the late John Thaw.

On this week's Friday Night With Jonathan Ross on 大象传媒 One, Ray says: "I loved John Thaw... I was in the original Sweeney as an extra [as a 17-year-old], just straight after drama college. It was a big show."

He adds: "[The new film] has the feel about it that the show had, it's really well-written. If it all works out I'd love to do it."

Winstone says he accepted his Indiana Jones role before seeing the script. He tells Jonathan:
"It's weird because you don't get to see the script. In a way I quite like not knowing too much."

And he's full of admiration for Harrison Ford:
"He's unbelievable, as fit as a butcher's dog. He's down to earth... he'd do as many [stunts] as he could, he obviously got himself in shape for the film."

Jonathan also chats with the Osmonds in their first British TV appearance for 25 years, and there's classic music from the legendary Neil Diamond performing live in the studio.
