And she's never seen the skirt She framed the shoes. Good evening.

Welcome to the One Direction with Alex Jones. And Chris Evans. Happy

St David's Day. APPLAUSE

And Wales, by the way, leads our musical challenge this evening.

Cerys Matthews has made a smashing film for us with Sir Tom Jones.

We'll also be revealing why these four guys have had nearly 200

million hits on Youtube. million hits? And our superstar

guest has made a film about himself, which is a good thing, because it

stops him from doing things like LAUGHTER

It's Gary Barlow. It is Gary Barlow. # So come on

# Get it on # Don't know what you're waiting

# Your time is coming # Don't be late #

APPLAUSE Oh, I love a walk-on. Do you? A big

crowd for you tonight. Normally nobody stays on a Friday. They're

normally all in the pub. Is that right? That's true. Let's get back

to Miranda. That was lovely. What was going on there? It was so minty.

How did it happen? How did it come about? She e-mailed me, I think,

and said, here's a crazy idea. I said absolutely no way on earth!

Then I got an e-mail about three months later saying, no, we're

desperate now. We haven't got anything going on in this episode.

Will you do it? I thought, let's do it. I had no rehearsal whatsoever.

But you're a perfectionist. No way. How many takes? We actually did it

twice just because I wanted to kiss her again. Good. How would you

react if a hungry Jay Rayner stopped you in the street and asked

to rummage around your lunchbox? Well, that's what he did today on

the back of a survey which says we could save �90,000 over a lifetime

if we turned our backs on cafes and delis and made our own sarnies.

Lunch is one of the most important meals of the day, but for too many

people in Britain, it means a soggy sandwich and a piece of fruit. I am

on a mission to improve people's dining options and have a sneak

peek inside the nation's lunchboxes, so clearly, you have a packed lunch

in your hand. May I have a quick look at what's in it? You may.

that it? You've got blueberries - very healthy, blueberries. That's

quite a lot, a packed lunch, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah. You have a yogurt,

some biscuits. It's quite heavy on the carbs, isn't it? It is. It's

got to last all day. Porridge for lunch? Yeah. I am really sad now.

Cheese and Marmite? Are you nine? You cooked this last night? Yes.

You didn't cook this! No. A little bit dry. On the one hand, you're

very, very healthy, aren't you? Yeah. On the other hand, you're a

growing woman. How does this get you through the day?! And for those

I find most unsavoury, I prepared a smart One Direction alternative. So

this is the One Direction packed lunch. We have a mozzarella and

tomato sandwich, aubergine and goat's cheese salad. We have a plum

- would you like to swap? No? Would you like to take that instead?

I'll stick to my own. You're snubbing the One Direction packed

lunch! I do like the box. The box stays with us. OK. Can we do a

swap? Yeah. Brilliant. I don't know. I think that's pineapple. It's

yours. You take that. Thank you. Would you like to take that to get

you through the day? Absolutely. Thank you so much - much better

than I would do. We can't have you Well, that's one satisfied customer.

Lunchboxes - would you like one, Gary? Are you hungry? Takes me back

- ah, look at that - beautiful. We're thinking of knocking a few of

these out, know what I mean? I am sure we had proper ones when we

were in take take originally. course you did. I had a Snoopy one,

a Barbie one and something else as well. Did you have packed lunches

for school Yeah, yeah. My mum used to get up in the morning, frozen

pasties, put it in the oven, put ketchup in, reseal them because

that's what mums do. Oh! Did you have a packed lunch? I used to have

a penguin. I used to have a Penguin, then leave the apple. I used to eat

the Penguin then leave the sandwiches. Gary Barlow Live DVD is

in our office. We went straight to the menu, the extras menu. Isn't

that always the way? Of course. We challenge any DVD this year to have

a better extra than this. # If you stop and close your eyes -

# You'll picture me inside # I'm so cold and all alone #

How on earth - how did you find out that James was capable and singing

and dancing to that standard? it's extremely brave I think

dancing next to an athlete like me to start with. Completely.

funny thing was when he came around to my house to rehearse this

sequence, I was like, this is going to be really funny, isn't it? He

said, "No, I am serious. I have been dying to do this for years.

It's my ambition." He was very serious about it. A lovely voice.

Amazing voice. He nailed it. Definitely. You could see him

chomping to stay on for another. could have done half an hour,

definitely. It was a lot of fun on the night. How many rehearsals for

that? You were at your house We did a Sunday morning at my house. This

is the worrying thing - he sort of knew it already. It was like he'd

done it through his teenaged years. He does love it. It took us the

morning, then two or three times on the night. It was great. Maybe

you'd have to - who knows if everybody is going to be available

for Take That. Now we have someone we could slot in so easily.

else secretly could do it you know about? Who can knock a tune out?

Who can knock a tune out? Comedian- wise? People you would expect not

to be able to do that? Who has been around your house singing on the

piano? You put me on the spot. I can't think of anybody. What we're

doing in Take That is we're training all our kids up for when

we can't do it any longer, then they can just take over. Like a

pension. That's it. It's about time they were doing something! Nicola

popped along as well? Yeah, we had lots of guests on that night. It

was in Manchester, a hometown gig. We had Nicole on, Mark Owen on,

James on, Peter Kai on. It was just a brilliant night. What a night.

Which song did Peter Kay do? We did a medley of TV themes. I see!

he's obsessed with. When we originally came up with the list of

songs, honestly, he came up with about 60. We had to pick four.

does that! He overdelivers all the time, which is why he's so good.

When Take That split up the first time, you went out solo, and it

sort of didn't work. What are you trying to say? You know what I mean.

That's a what happened. This time has gone gangbusters. What's the

difference, do you think? I have to be honest - this time around in

general, everything I have done I have really enjoyed it. That's

because I appreciate it. I was basically out of work for five

years the first time around, and this time I enjoy every moment.

comes across. People know, don't they? I think so. I love it, and

especially with this tour I did last year. I think the amazing bit

about it was I didn't need to. I had nothing to promote. I hadn't

toured for 13 years. I just felt like doing some gigs. Good for you.

That was the reason. I just wanted to have some fun and play live.

X Factor one of the things you enjoy doing? Last year - I felt it

was a lot of fun last year, and ultimately when I look at any of

these shows, you know, did we find talent? We really did. James Arthur

was an incredible winner. I think he sold more singers than any other

X Factor winner, so we did find a star, and that's the idea of the

show, so I really enjoyed last year. I have to ask you this, the one-

year feud with Simon Cowell... There is no feud. Oh, OK. Brilliant.

Here's our next question - any of the front-page stories, the soap

opera stories - any of them about X Factor true? All true! Apart from

that one obviously! OK. We've got three facts. We don't expect you to

answer. We just want to look at your face. Camera four. Going to

read. Has Tulisa quit or has she been pushed. Just look. OK. I think

I've got that one, don't you? think so. Is it true that Robbie is

going to guest judge on the next series?

LAUGHTER Nailed that one. Will Mel B be

making the tea on the next series? That's a definite. The Gary Barlow

Live DVD is out on Monday. I am a good guest, aren't I? I don't say

anything. You say it all through the eyes. Chris here and to New

York recently, but you didn't know. Not a clue. He joined these teens

from Priestlands School in Bournemouth on this school trip.

Here he is ice skating, then on the Statue of Liberty. Thank you.

even took him into the cockpit of the plane. Ah! That's the best I

have ever looked. So Jill, you're the teacher. You're leading the

charge here. The question is why? Well, we're all huge Chris Evans

fans. He makes us smile on the radio every morning and of course

on the One Direction on Friday, and we're huge funs of the One

Direction, so we got ourselves a knitted Chris and decided it was

time the take The One Direction stateside and introduce Chris to

New York which we did. A knitted Chris is the way forward - a full-

sized knitted me - evening, sweet har. That wasn't all. Jill and her

gang went on to plug the show on the big board in Times Square.

did. Their efforts got us thinking, so new for 2013, we'd like you to

take the One Direction wherever you go in the world and send us the

proof. Please do. What a greater song to celebrate than Green, Green

Grass of Home? Sadly, Sir Tom wasn't available to comment because

he has been busy appearing in Cardiff's St David's Day Parade.

Obviously, that's not the real Tom. But Cerys Matthews is here tonight

to put us straight on the meaning of one of Tom's favourite Welsh

anthems. In 1966 a fresh-faced lad from the

valley released a quirky song which went on to become a number one hit

all over the world. Called Green, Green Grass of Home, people

naturally assumed it was about his hometown in Pontypridd.

# Down the road I look - # He says "And there comes Mary" - it

might be a coincidence, but my wife's name was Mary.

# Old oak tree # The tree and the fork in the road

was there. That's more or less where he came up with Green, Green

Grass of Home. # The green, green grass... The

definitive pop song about Wales? Not quite. Home of course depends

on where the heart is the song was actually written in Nashville,

Tennessee by Claude Curly Pepman and has been covered by over a

hundred artists. To explain the song's worldwide popularity, I've

got a date with a musical legend. Come and have a seat.

It was a smash hit for Tom Jones, but I am taking him back in time to

a version which inspired him to record the song in the first place.

So I bought this album. Right. I'm going to play you this song on

it, and you're going to recognise it. I hope so.

# They'll all come to meet me # Arms a-reaching

# Smiling sweetly # It's good to touch the green,

green grass... So where were you when you first heard that song?

New York. I was doing the Ed Sullivan show in 1965. I went into

the Colony Record Shop. It was a famous record shop. I asked them

did they have anything new by Jerry Lee Lewis because I have always

been a fan ever since Whole Lot of Shaking. They said he made a

country album. Which figures because here from Louisiana in the

I bought it and I took it back to the hotel. I played that and I

thought wow! A lot of the songs I knew. When Green Green Grass of

Home came up, I had never heard that song before. What a great song.

It was different and new. different? What made it different?

A lot of songs they say the names of cities, but the Green Green

Grass of Home doesn't. What a great idea because we all have a Green

Green Grass of Home. # A green, green grass of home. #

When you listen to it, you think he is singing about the Green Green

Grass of Home, then in the middle section, "Then I awake and look

around me and at the four grey walls that surround me." I used to

have a 30-minute TV show. I did it on there inside the jail. There I

# Arm in arm we'll walk at daybreak... #

It had a big effect. People were asking, "What was that song?"

People identify with it, like the soldiers in Vietnam loved it. Elvis

loved it? Elvis loved it. He was kicking himself he didn't pick up

on it earlier. Thank God it became my song.

# Down the road I look and there runs Maryliness #

When you are in the same room as the voice and a guitar, you have

got to, really. # Yes, they'll all come to meet me

# Arms reaching, smiling sweetly # It's good to touch the green,

That's lovely. APPLAUSE Very good. Angry scenes at the filming

location. What happened? It was a special day for a young lady. It

was her birthday. We had been running late because there was a

certain Arsenal v Bayern Munich match on. We were on her table so

while we were filming so we thought it would be nice to sing happy

birthday to let her know it was her day. She booked the room? You

encroached on her birthday? We were on her table. We pushed over all

the straws. She came up in the end. Happy birthday, Polly.

# Happy birthday to you # Happy birthday dear policy

# Happy birthday to you. # It all ended happily ever after.

were recording for The Voice there. Hopefully, she is a fan of that.

think she came off well. She was all right. We stayed for the

blancmange. Back to the film. There are other examples of songs that

they are not about what we think they are about? Some people think

it is a song sung by a man on death row. There are other examples.

we go! Hopefully, you will recognise it.

# Every breath you take # Every move you make

# I'll be watching you. # The Police.

# Every bond you break # Every step you take

# I'll be watching you. # Some people love that song. They

think it is a great love song. It is a bit more sinister. He wrote it

during his divorce. It is big Big Brother, "I'm going to keep an eye

on you." We will never play that one again then! What next? Another

one. # Born in the USA

# I was born in the USA # Born in the USA... #

Proud to be American! Patriotic song, or is it? No. Ronald Reagan

wanted it as his campaign song. It was written about the Vietnam War.

It is an anti-war song. Is it? Americans are getting that wrong?

They think it is a Nationalist tick song. There are other songs that

are not so - they don't have such hidden meanings. My favourite

country song is this one. # You're the reason our kids are so

ugly # The looks ain't everything

# Money isn't everything # But I love you just the same. #

What a title. Round of applause. APPLAUSE We have a minute left with

you, Cerys. Tell us about the random green carpet, sort of green

carpet next to you? I thought I would bring this along. This is -

talk about Green Green Grass of Home - this is the Green, Green

Carpet of Home. This was apparently the carpet in Tom Jones' flat when

he was living in Shepperton Studios. He bought that to celebrate the hit.

We just saw the black-and-white photograph there. What is it about

the 1960s? Elvis, have you been to the Jung -- Jungle room? Have you

got any hidden rooms? I need to get deeper.

There must be one Take That lyric that means something different?

Nothing. Nice try, but nothing. They do what they say on the tin.

Paddling pool, not the deep end! Go on. Cerys, welcome to The One Show

family. You will be doing some more stuff for us as well. That is very

interesting, that stuff. That is the first of 100 films you will do

for us? Thanks for inviting me along. I will be going around the

country looking at the landscape and seeing how they have influenced

literature, books and meeting people. Keep your guitar with you.

It is nice to have a fellow Welshy on the programme! Thank you to who

e-mailed in saying, "Where's your daffs?" We are going to continue

the St David's Day theme - it is whales with an "h". Sorry! This

huge fin whale stranded on a Hebridean island made big headlines

in 2011. Such sad events have always fascinated us. Going back to

1885 another fin whale that washed up beside the Bristol Channel

caused quite a stir. Sightseers were charged sixpence to see it.

These events are not as rare as you might think. Every year, 600 whales,

dolphins and porpoises are stranded on our beaches. Some times they are

still alive and great efforts are made to save them. When a northern

bottlenose whale took a wrong turn and got stuck in the Thames in 2006

there was a massive rescue attempt. Emma Webb says it can be

heartbreaking work. It could be sometimes 12 or 15 hours that our

medics are out here in the water with the animal trying to help it.

It is often very cold, very windy conditions. They do get upset when

the animals don't make it. They know at least they have tried.

survive and it is usually up to councils to dispose of the bodies.

Whatever happens, it's not the end of the story as it is important to

establish why the animal stranded in the first place. The DEFRA

Funded investigation programme has carried out 3,000 postmortems over

the last 20 years. This is a rarely-seen beaked whale which has

ended up in Yorkshire. Rob and Matt are taking measurements and

photographing the body. Just taking some routine samples now. As well

as what we do, to try and establish a cause of death, it gives us an

opportunity to learn more about the species. Rob and Matt are working

against the clock, the tide is rising and they will be surrounded

by water any minute. They have had a few short hours to gather as much

information about this creature as they possibly can. The examination

revealed that this whale had had a brain infection. It might have

become disorientated and lost its way which might explain why it

ended up here in shallow water. As soon as the team finish, there is

another stranding to investigate. I join them as they head south to

Suffolk. This is a fin whale that died after becoming stranded on the

shingle as the tide went out. There are many reasons why they become

stranded including collisions with ships, entanglement with fishing

gear and illness due to pollution. I'm more used to seeing a whale

like this out at sea. It is tragic to see it lying here on the beach.

Rob is keen to gather clues as to what happened. You have pulled that

from the mouth area. This is what they are using in feeding? All the

food particles get trapped on here. They use the tongue, scrape them

off and swallowed. Fin whales are the largest creatures seen in

British waters passing through on migration routes. An adult can

weigh 80 tonnes so at 8 tonnes this one might be as heavy as a double-

decker bus, but it is just a youngster. Taking tissue samples

from stranded animals is useful for other reasons. There are thicks you

cannot learn -- there are things you cannot learn other than from

postmortem work. They are good indicators on how contaminated our

seas are becoming. Previous autopsy work has led to a ban on certain

toxic chemicals. This has had a positive effect on the environment.

Tragic as it may seem to see one of these magnificent creatures washed

up, the information gathered will deepen our understanding about

these animals and help to keep our seas healthy.

Shall we have an aw for the whales? ALL: Aww! Thank you to Gary and

Cerys. Round of applause for our guests this evening. APPLAUSE

Gary's Live DVD is out on Monday. With the best extras ever.

teased you with The Piano Guys who have become a worldwide internet

sensation after getting nearly two million hits on YouTube. How come

you do what you do? We are five dads from Utah and we started

hanging out and now we are known for putting pianos in crazy places.

All right. You are called The Piano Guys. What is your album called?

The Piano Guys. I like that(!) All right, want to hear them? ALL: Yes!
