01/07/2011 The One Show

Hello friends. Thanks fortuneing in, if you have to your Friday One Show.

With us tonight. Only the most successful British singing star of

all time. He's seen off the Teddy Boys. The glam rockers of the 70s.

The New Romantics. The indie kids of the 90s. He had a top ten single

in the noughties. After 50 years in show business he's still the

original young one. We can only be Thank you.

Now you have two dinosaurs on the show!

What do you think of the rest of the audience? Fantastic! Jam-packed.

We have to talk about the tennis, haven't we? I know, I wore a big

tartan jacket to watch Nadal and Murray. Of course then I had to

come here. We are terribly sorry about that! Where did you get the

tartan jacket from? It's a ver sar shi -- Versace actually. He's

having a tough time on court. you are watching the repeat you

will know whether he has won or lost. We are on the other channel.

It gets too complicated, let's not talk about it. I spent a couple of

hours there. I had a photo shoot this afternoon, then I came here to

see you guys. Which match did you And Tongo. How often do you go,

every day, every other day? If I get here for the two weeks I like

to have the whole two weeks. As a member I can sit with all the other

members. I really enjoy that. It is fantastic. How did you become a

member of Wimbledon? Somebody has to die.

Oh, no. Who was it in your case? don't know. I didn't ask. I had to

wait for four years. I read an article. Four years doesn't seem

long to me. I read a story in a newspaper. This guy said, he had

been waiting for 60 years, he assumed he would not get it. It can

be a long time before they invite you to join. You are going to see

the girls tomorrow? No, I am at a wedding tomorrow. I will see other

girls. Who is getting married tomorrow? Just a friend of mine and

his daughter. He's an Indian guy. They are having, well their

weddings last like a fortnight. I cannot do any other days. I am

going tomorrow. You are quarter Indian, whole Indian? I'm none

Indian. I was born in Indian. That doesn't make you an Indian, you see.

You were just there for a day. I often wish I did. If you look at

Indian people, the guys have great looking hair. So do you, you are

Indian, that's the thing! Throughout the show, we will pepper

it with questions to you. Here's the first one. Here we go.

Hsh hsh congratulations # And -- # Congratulations

# And jubilations # I want the world to know

# I'm as happy as can be. What's the best birthday present you've

ever had? Oh, my goodness, I don't know.

know, the cake you had from us when you came on last time. That is high

on the list. Other than that though....? Nowadays they are

common. Way back I was given a key ring which had a little torch on it.

You know when you try to find the keyhole at night-time, I thought

that was interesting. There are so many gifts I've had. I cannot pick

one out. That was baby Enza in that VT. What is going on with the baby?

Thanks to Lewisham hospital. sorting that out. If you have been

snapped with Cliff, we have gone from quiz Richard to quiz Richard,

send your questions to us. Last night Dom Littlewood was on the

show doing his usual job, sorting out consumer worries. Not tonight

though. We spent him on one special lady's life to do list.

Many of us will have a list of things we would like to do in life.

Some people might call it a bucket list. On mine there would be taking

part in a coy boy rodeo or doing a -- cowboy rodeo, or doing a

parachute jump or maybe banger racing. Some people's lists are

more down to earth, like Leslie Evans. She has been a school

libraryian all her life. When she turned 60 she put together an

ambitious list of 60 activities to complete this year that she had

dreamt of doing, like drinking Sambuca or doing carry yo ki. Three

activities she has ticked off her list. This is not a bucket list is

it? It implies I am going to die soon.

It says pedicure, watching the king's speech and having a facial.

I have to be honest, some of them are a little bit.... Mundane.

Normal things. Yeah. Why? I thought I don't want anything that's going

to cost me a lot. I don't want anything that I'm not reasonably

going to be able to do. What made you create this list in the first

place? I didn't want to be 0, just to cheer me up -- 60, just to cheer

me up. How many have you left to do? 17. Shall we do some together?

Shall I pick. Go-karting - why do you want to do this? I don't know

why I put it on the list. How are you feeling? Eeriefyed. You don't

need to be! With things like playing a computer game or visiting

the British Library on the list, go-karting is more high octane.

She has a good start. I'm beginning to wonder if she's done this

before! Yeah! I get past. I spoke too soon, I've spung, leaving her

to take the chequered flag. What about that one? Bring it on!

why did riding a tandem make it on to your list? I have riden an

ordinary bike and I thought I would like to ride a tandem. You are in

charge, you call it and we're off. # You'll look sweet

# Upon the seat of a bicycle made for two # You are enjoying this. Oh,

yes, I think I'll let Lesley do all the work. Hard work.

You can cross that off your list. Now another one. What about that

one? That looks good. On your list you've got fire a gun. Can you

explain yourself. I wanted to know what it felt like. Ready? Pull.

Goodness me! Just over the top, OK!? After a few

misses Leslie finally gets the feel for it. How does that feel? A bit

painful. Was it? Yeah. This is less sedate than others on her list. I

tell you what, you may have got me on some things but I beat you on

the guns, didn't I? Paint my nails black. Do you fancy that? No chance.

Have you had a fun day? A brilliant day. Thank you very much. It's my

pleasure. Where do -- did we leave the tandem? A nice day out there

for Dom. It is always a nice day for Dom.

normally does things serious. lives on the right side of the

tracks. Cli if, f, your to-do-list, is there anything else left?

Another ten or 15 number ones. These are things she had never done

before. But having number ones is always ahead of you. I would like

to catch up with a few more. It gets tougher. What about being in a

Star Trek film? I love Star Trek. I used to have the whole collection

of videos all but about six I couldn't find. Suddenly it become

DVDs, my gardener had grandchildren who wanted to see them, I gave them

to him. The new Star Trek, fantastic. I would love to be in

one of those! If you wonder how they make the amazing creatures for

Star Trek and Dr Who, you have a bloke you have to meet. He's the

ultimate monster-maker. Let's welcome Neill Gorton and some of

his creations. Come on, Neil, who are these -- Neill, who are these

chaps? They are really good! There was a time when monsters on telly,

even in movies looked dodgy! You can see how realistic they are. Who

was the guy who changed all that? It changed in the 80s, when all

these movies took off. There were a lot of people who in Hollywood

particularly, there was a guy I admired called Rick Who did it for

Men In Black. Which movie did it for you? Star Wars. It was the

special effects movie. This was brand new. Are you a Star Wars fan?

I was. I saw them all. I like the new Dr Who as well. You worked on

Doctor Who? Yes. What is your favourite character? Davros. As a

kid in the 70s I watched Davros. When I was little I wondered where

did they find an actor so withered. Then it dawned on me there was

make-up involved. When I got to do him for the new series, it was a

dream come true. You don't have huge multi-million pound budgets

working for the BBC. You did a great job. We have a remote

controlled gorilla. This is a personal project. We are building

all these characters so they can go out and meet the public, basically.

Can Cliff have a go? You have got the mouth. I have the mouth. What's

this one for? His nose! Can you sing one of your songs.

# She's just a devil woman # Brilliant! Where did you learn to

make all this stuff? I was basically self-taught. When I was a

kid, Star Wars came out. I was only about seven. There was not all the

information available today. I found every book and magazine that

I could and learnt what I could and taught myself. Oh.... It's hi

I do a lot of teaching. I run a lot of courses. There are lots of areas

on the net where people can educate themselves. How long does it take

to do one of those shows? normally start six weeks in advance

of the filming. For One Show? But they will have been writing it

before. So I think just for one of them, it is about six months. White

if you had all the money in the world, what would you do? I would

love to build a zoo. When you go, you want to be in the cage and

stroke things. Thank you for being here. Give me a high five. All

right! The BBC is keen to share its expertise, so if you were inspired

by that, visit our website. Now, if you are yet to book your holidays,

National Geographic magazine have some suggestions. They have put

together a list of the best alternative holiday destinations.

Alex Riley could not wait to pack his overnight bag when we asked him

to visit the surprise hit from the top 10.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have been sent on the trip of a lifetime to

one of National Geographic's top 10 holiday destinations of 2011. The

best news is that the One Show have paid for it. The list has a

plethora of beautiful places to choose from. Patagonia in Argentina,

Roatan, Honduras, and the Azores. But I have hit the jackpot. I'm in

Cardiff. Excuse me, can you tell me the way to the beach? Yes, Cardiff.

Turns out it has made number six on National Geographic's list of

tourist hot spots. What is going The tourist board reckon this place

is amazing to visit, but what do the locals reckon? It is really

nice because you have got the sea front and they do boat trips.

Cardiff. The it has beaten Stockholm, Honduras. It has beaten

London? London is nowhere near! is historic, not just for

youngsters. What does Honduras have that Cardiff has not got? Nice

beaches, blue sea, beautiful weather. OK. It is Colin Jackson.

Hello. How are you keeping? You are from Cardiff. Yes, born-and-bred.

It is number six on the list of top destinations for 2011.

surprised it is only six. I think if you go round and take your time

and invest your time in the city, you would be surprised what gems

you could muster. You have been everywhere else on the top 10.

Cardiff, or one of those destinations. Which would it be?

would come back here. I am sorry, Croatia, but Cardiff wins. I am

almost in tears. It is your job to promote Cardiff. Were you not a bit

surprised when you got to number six in the list of global tourist

I was pleased, but not surprised. We have this thing about the best

always being overseas and that is not the case. Last year we had over

18 million visitors, so we are obviously doing something right. We

have the Wales Millennium Centre, the Millennium Stadium, which hosts

the opening competitive matches of the Olympics. We have the largest

collection of Impressionist paintings outside of Paris at the

National Museum. What about the weather? It does rain quite a bit

in Cardiff. That is a myth. I have heard, and I believe sincerely,

that we have more hours of sunshine here than in Milan. Do you think

the weather is a real draw for visitors to the area? Of course.

Who would not want to spend time here. It rains everywhere, not just

in Cardiff. Looking down the list of the top 10, if you had to pick

one place to go, which would it be? If the sun is out, it would have to

Croatia, then? I think so. I will be honest, when they told me I was

going to one of the top 10 holiday destinations in the world and I

ended up in Cardiff a was a little bit disappointed. But actually, it

is a really nice place and well worth a visit. Hang on, we have not

had a male voice choir. That is Cardiff, in the top 10. You have

done it again. Cardiff is really it nowadays. Have you been there?

recently, but it is one of those changed cities, like Birmingham and

Newcastle. These places have really changed. You have not had a little

walk around. Just to point out, you just pointed at Cliff Richard.

sorry. Any time. Another question from one of the One Show viewers.

# We are all going on a summer holiday

# No more working for a week or two # Fun and laughter on a summer

holiday # No more worries for me or you've

# For a week or two. # It's nice to have a holiday romance.

No, but it looks as though I might. There is a stack of CDs. Surely

they cannot all be by the same person. Oh, yes, they are all by

Sir Cliff Richard. Incredible! is incredible because I have only

been singing for 100 years! 88 CDs is most of that time. The new one,

Soulicious, is not in the pile. Just about finished now. There is a

tour which is going to be in Nottingham, Manchester, Newcastle,

Liverpool, Birmingham and London. Cardiff? Cardiff? Never too late to

add Cardiff to the bill. I will try to sort something out. This album

that I have done, I am singing with some icons, you would know them.

The temptations, Roberta Flack,... Who sorts all of that out? David

Gest gave me a phone call and he said, I think you should try

singing some soul. I said, if you can put it together I will have

died and gone to heaven, and now I am in heaven! How does Gloria

Hunniford know David Gest? How does anybody know David Gest? I don't

know. I guess they have met a couple of times. Gloria likes to do

the scene. She likes to play the room. She would certainly meet a

lot more people than I ever would because I tend to stay home a lot.

Lots of these albums can be done with one person on Planet Earth and

the other one on Mars. But this issue at work with one of the big

stars. Which one? # I Am Your puppet

# Make me do right, or make me do wrong

# I Am Your puppet. # Very nice. That was you and Percy

Sledge. How long were you there in Memphis? Three weeks. I spent a

couple of weeks in New York. The other man there, he and his partner

wrote 50 for Motown hits. When I came to New York, I work with

Ashford and Simpson. Percy Sledge was funny. Such a gentleman. They

were so nice to me. He said, I know the song. When it came to the bit

that he had to do, when it goes, I am your Hoye... He said, I do not

know that bit. So I sat down, just before we practised. Me And Percy,

we are like that now. I taught him that bit. But you are not like that

with Elvis. You had an invitation to go to Graceland but you said No.

I went this time when I was in Memphis, but I went there when he

was still alive, even though he was not there. He heard that I was

coming and he went to Las Vegas. that true? He was in Las Vegas.

did you not hook up with him? never got the chance, except when

Devil woman was a hit in America. This journalist said, I am a friend

of Elvis and I believe you are inspired by him. I can arrange the

meeting. I thought, OK. And then I thought, Elvis is really fat. He

had put on a lot of weight. I would rather have a photograph on my wall

of me with the Elvis that inspired me. At least you are honest about

it. Now, I think I was really stupid. General hindsight never won

the war. It is Friday and that means food. How much do you like

curry? We love a curry. I have curry from five different countries.

The bad news is that our beloved Although it has its roots in the

expansion of the British Empire, our love affair with food from the

East boomed in the post-war period when Indian, Bangladeshi and

Pakistani immigrants established the erasure of curry houses that we

know today. -- established the array of curry houses. But Asian

restaurants are facing a crisis like never before. People may find

their favourite dishes are no longer on the menu. The reason,

there may no longer be anybody left to cook them. International

restaurants across the country are warning that they cannot get enough

quality cooks in the kitchen. Struggling with just one head chef

to cover the whole week, Enam Ali believes the situation could cause

restaurants like is to close. How hard is it to find chefs to work in

your kitchens? Very difficult to find a chef in this country. It is

not available, basically. Most of them are in India, Pakistan or

Bangladesh, not available here. Nothing home-grown in this country.

So why is there a drought of head chefs? Recently, the Government

changed the immigration rules for those outside the EU. The British

hospitality Association says these changes disbarred skilled chefs

from the sub-continent. You have to be willing to pay them �28,000 a

year. What would that do to the cost of a meal in your restaurant?

Chicken tandoori would cost �30 per portion. The diners are not willing

to pay for this. After 24 years, I have to say, I cannot do it any

more. Part of the solution may be offered by places like this,

because British colleges are coming to the rescue of our favourite

dishes. We could soon see Eastern dishes cooked by people from very

different backgrounds. Dipna Anand's family owns a Northern

Indian restaurant. She is teaching at the University of West London.

The Indian restaurant sector as a very big problem of where to find

the right chefs. A course like this is fabulous. It will give them the

skills and knowledge required for them to use in the industry. We are

learning so many different techniques that are so different to

other cuisine. So many different spices that you would not

necessarily using other food. first it was quite hard but it gets

easier because you start to get involved and no more about it.

Those schools differ enormously to traditional European cooking. Even

learning to get the balance of spices in the masalas right can

take months. And as they can be so many dishes in a meal, it is a

lifetime of education. It is not the easiest cuisine. I go to

Italian restaurants and an order spaghetti Carbonari and I'm given

it on a plate. With Indian cooking, you order your chicken tikka,

chickpeas, then your rice, lots of different things put together.

Aspirations are high. These students are being trained to work

in the best restaurants but it will be years before they become head

chef. I have just finished a placement. None of your rubbish! A

very good Indian restaurant in Mayfair.

The proof is in the eating. Let's see if this one has the makings of

an Asian chef. Not ridiculously spicy, just lots of flavour.

It seems absurd that we bring all our cooks in when we have large

communities here who have It is currently -- is curry only an

England thing? Everything will be marked for you.

Of course it is marked with flags. Looking at this, thinking, OK....

That's the Indian one. Where do you think this dish has come from?

Can we all taste? Birmingham. That makes it easy, doesn't it! It

is a balti and the balti was invented in this country for a

migrant coming over. They needed canteens to eat it. There were

ballty in one language, in Indian, do you know what it means?

Bucket. It is cooked in a sort of bucket

thing. That is the ballty. Over here, Japanese. Curry flavours,

curry sauce was introduced to Japan by the British. I feel like I'm

trying to lecture people in the middle of a picture.

It's the Raj bringing food over from India to Japan. It is

estimated, one survey that every Japanese person eats 125 servings

of that a year. I have got the taste now. Have you got the taste?

I can see it has the Malaysian flag. Fish head curry. That is probably

an acquired taste. We have Burmese curries, we have duck and potato

curry. I have to get my fork into that one. Is this a Thai green one

here? You put this food in front of me.

What's going to happen? He's gone! We have a massaman curry, which is

a really rich, coconut curry. They sometimes make it with lamb. That

is spicy. Have we got any water? Here you are.

Cliff you look after yourself. You say, even though you don't have

enough curries nowadays, if you had one more meal on the planet it

would be a curry. I go for Indian.... They are not just so hot.

Curries don't have to be hot. The chilli makes it hot. It is a bunch

of spices and herbs. I know a restaurant you go to, let's say it

is over there, down the stairs. Let's leave it. Some foodie news

please. We did a film a couple of months ago about the growing of

meat in laboratories and would this be a solution for environmental

problems? The Dutch say they are one year away from the laboratory-

grown Hamburger. Now.... It comes up as a Hamburger?

It is laboratory grown meat. Protein culture, you can grow it.

It is a cow in a room and they chop its head off? If it meant that that

would not just be a Hamburger, but an entire cow.

You are talking about Angela Rippon, Angela Lippon! Angela Rippon's Brit.

And these are tonight's headlines. Back garden last stop for the train

of the future. Welsh worm charmers and help find missing ruby. Most

blokes might come back from the sales with new golf clubs. Spare a

thought for the wife of Andy Jones who decided to buy a five tonne

airport transporter. Andy from Kenilworth bid �100 for the high

tech transporter that used to whisk passengers and their luggage around

Birmingham airport. After an ear bashing, Andy is going to be

allowed to place the transporter on the family field, on the condition

that he turns it into a summer house.

If he's not still in the dog house he would have to live in it.

Kathy Margerison made an advertising discovery while sorting

through donations. As she rummaged through the brick abrabg, she found

a book by the domestic good des of the 1800s Arabella Plumtree. It

includes popular debates such as roast eel with lemon juice, cow

udder pie, washed down with a cup of beef tea. Staff are planning to

auction it and hope it will raise hundreds of pounds for Oxfam.

It doesn't look an pitiezing! No wonder that didn't catch oio an

tiezing. No wonder that didn't catch on. The owners of a missing

dog have gone to extraordinary lengths to find her. Ruby has been

missing since mid-May when she was stolen from the home of Pat and Ray

Baxter. They have set up a website. They have created a Facebook

campaign and even made a Find Ruby appeal video. They say the pup was

like a member of the family. She is worried sick. If you have any

information, please do get in touch. Now, Britain has new world

champions, but forget cycling, sailing and ballroom dancing, worm

wrangling is where it's at. The worm charming championships have

been won by Dave and Sam Ashman, from Pontywaun. They bash the

ground with a fork. They won with a total of 265 worms. They still

haven't come down to earth from all the excitement! Can I charm you,

Angela? No. Take that and wriggle off yourself. I'm Angela Rippon.

You've been watching Rippon's Britain. Goodbye.

Thank you, Angela. Now then, did you know that there's a rose called

Cliff Richard? Have a sniff of that!

I did know. Have you had loads of roses named after you? No, there is

one called Summer Holiday, after the film. There's something wrong

with this one! We will move on. That begins the theme of the next

item. Continuing our season, celebrities who invite Christine

Walkden to sniff around their garden. Tonight is the turn of

A nice cup of tea, bird song and a garden full of roses. How very

British. I wasn't expecting this from the lady who has travelled the

world. It's the pride and joy of Judith

Chalmers who spent 30 years introducing us to far away places

on Wish You Were Here. You are so well travelled, I expected a red

hot, to reflect the carnivals of the world. Why is it so subtle?

love English gardens. As much as I admire those bold red wonderful

things abroad, I just love the sort of softness of an English garden.

It is very, very settled and quiet. There is that calming influence in

the garden. You wake up in the morning, Neil and I come out and

have a mug of coffee and a bowl of cereal. You start the day, as many

do throughout Britain, I am sure, with that feeling of "skop oh,

isn't it good to -- "Oh, isn't it good to be here?" Judith has been

married for 47 years to Neil Durden-Smith. I hope those roses

will grow up and cover that trellis at the end of the garden in those

white or even pink, or even yellow. No, no yellow. Purple then.

Rambling roses. I would love to see that covered.

Judith designed the garden herself. All that was here when they moved

in were a few of the roses. What was your master plan? Did you have

a plan for the garden? Christine, no. I am not very good

at that. I see what I like. I think, oh, I've got to find a place for

that. That is what has happened with that. Last year we had these

two at the end here. Then I went back again and bought four more. I

love them. It is interesting, you say you have done that because it

is one of the basic rules of design, repetition and repetition in

strength. You look how strong that is and how your eye is drawn around

that corner. You have picked up on one of the principals of design.

mistake. It doesn't matter how you come to it. The fact of the matter

is you have. You might guess that colour is very important to Judith.

She loves pink and especially one particular pink flower. I was being

interviewed at Hampton Court one year. We were asked what we have in

our gardens, I said I love bizy Lizzies. She said, how common!

I use it not in the derogatory sense. It can be lovely and elegant.

You think of another bedding plant used in this country that can give

you basically six months of interesting cover and inexpensively.

The latest edition is this the Balloon flower. I couldn't resist

it. I love the shape and colour. When you get your grandchildren

here, get them all, you can't do it too often. See! I never thought you

could do that to a plant. The children will revel in that!

Absolutely! Despite her travels or perhaps

because of them, Judith has always maintained very close links with

her family. She still likes nothing better than coming home to them and

her garden. I had a lovely job for 30 years

involved with Wish You Were Here. It was always good to get home, put

the key in the door and then straight to the kitchen window to

look out.... Why? I would want to see what the garden had done,

whether it had behaved itself or whether it had been naughty, what

the weather had done to it. And it's our little oasis. It's the

place you love being. I couldn't live without a garden.

Lovely garden, Judith. Well done. Christine loves to go to

celebrity's gardens. She would love to go to yours in Barbados, please.

Yes. How big is your garden there? Just under three acres. A lot of it

is a hill you can't use. doesn't want to see that bit.

an acre. There we are. We asked at the

beginning of the show for some pictures of people who had met you.

We've had loads in. We have a question first from a viewer.

question from the viewer. pictures go into the picture thing.

You remember! Here's another Quiz Richard.

# The young ones # We're the young ones

# And young ones # I would like to ask you, is there anything you wish

you'd done when you were a young one?

Well, do you know, I always wished I would be a singer and I got that.

I wished I would have a gold album and I got that. I ran out of them

early. Remember I was a child star. I was wishing for those things as a

child. I got them. When I think back, my lifes has been too nice.

There's nothing, I cannot think of anything that could improve it.

is what you deserve. I love Barbados. I always wished for a

place like that and I have got it. You put the hours in. You have to

put the hours in. When you get what you want it takes more hours to

keep it going. To be as good au've got to be better.

-- you've got to be better. We have click Richard. We asked for your

pictures of you and Cliff Richard. This is 1964. This is cool 60s.

Ready for this? Look at that! Cathy was in a magazine as Girl of

the Year competition. That is not me standing next to here. It is

true, is it? What was I doing? It must be a movie set. She must have

won a visit to a movie set. This is Irene Stuart and Cliff in

Glasgow. Which one is Cliff. Nice shirt. That is up my street there.

Donna from clabg on sea with Cliff in 1990. Look at that! Look at that

hair. You look tanned. I think I should grow it out more. It will

stop it coming out.... More! have time for more if you want to

send them to us. Our wildlife photographer heads to the sleepy

village of somewhere in Norfolk. Ashwellthorpe. Some noisy peacocks

are offering more than a few Back gardens are a good place to

hone your photography techniques. Normally, I would use a telephoto

lens and lots of patience, but today the situation is anything but

normal. Instead, I have to stay out of sight and use a camera trap.

Because someone else here is trying to capture them, too, and my

presence might scare them away. This village has been invaded by

peacocks. Native to India and south-east Asia, these exotic birds

once graced the lawns of British stately homes. Some escaped, some

were released, and these hardy animals have formed feral breeding

populations around the UK. And from the camera tracked footage we can

see that they are at home among the residents. So what is the problem

with having a beautiful bird like this on your doorstep? Starting

round about 2am and repeating every five minutes calling until about 11

o'clock at night. They will also attack cars if they see their

reflection in it. They were on the flat roof to begin with and it was

like thunder, really very loud. Because no one officially owns them,

no one can be held accountable for their behaviour, no matter how many

letters of complaint residents right to the council. Last week,

the situation came to a head when Roy finally called in the RSPCA.

Not because of the nuisance, but because he was concerned for their

safety. You will not kill them with an air rifle, only damage them. I

saw one that had a wing that was dropping down. Injured. Yes, and I

decided if I could catch it and give it to the RSPCA they could

take it to the vet. You have not got a problem with them. No problem.

You only hear them a couple of months of the year and that is only

once or twice every day. What is the plan with this cage? I'm going

to leave it there for a few days and see if we manage to catch it.

If we catch the injured one, we will get it to the RSPCA. That was

him. Right on cue, three of the peacocks turn up on a neighbour's

roof, but they are wary of the cage. I have been on the lookout for them

all day. There are supposed to be five in the village and I have only

seen three. We are missing the injured bird that Roy talked about

and also the largest male of the group. It shows how habitue today

are. You can walk within a couple of metres of them and they are not

bothered. Sometimes, they even pose for photographs. The RSPCA does not

normally intervene in disputes, unless there is concern over animal

welfare. So if you are having Peacock problems, what can you do?

People are more and more feeding wild birds and squirrels, so there

is Graner around. If you cut off the food source, I would imagine

most of the time the peacocks will find someone else to go. With

tension running high, the RSPCA have called in a local Peacock

breeder to co-ordinate the capture and possible rehome ing of the

injured bird. So this is what the fuss is about. He would not believe

it. This is probably one of the most beautiful birds in the world.

When you see them close up, you see this incredible complexity of

feathers. Quinten specialises in the white form of the species and

he seems immune to their display calls. It is not all year round.

You have from April through to August when the mating season is on.

But in August, the tales drop out, which is natural, and then they

will stop calling and you have eight months of silence. When you

look at the news and you see the disasters and trauma that some

people are living under in war-torn countries, I think a lot of those

people would be quite happy to have as their only problem A Peacock

walking around in their garden. So I think we have to get it into

Feral peacocks are definitely on the increase, and yes, that might

mean they squawk outside a window, or they might pick up your plants

and occasionally scratch your car. But perhaps that is a price worth

paying for living with such a spectacular bird.

They are stunning. That white one was amazing. You are the peacock of

British television! Don't you think she is beautiful? There you go.

I want to know what satisfy his your soul?

Can we have this audience every week? I think, if you are racing up,

the thing that is satisfying is when you do something on stage and

you get that fantastic response from an audience. If you have done

it right, you get double the response. Singing satisfy his my

soul. And singing with other singers - I have never had the

opportunity to do that the way that I have on my new album. They are

also all singers and it was fantastic. That is the perfect

answer. Time for another film from the Barber of one shows Street,

starring Michael Douglas. Tonight, he muscles up with some of the

brazen men north of the border. He is at the Helensburgh and Lomond

I'm excited because I have been Hello, gentlemen. What is he

saying? What have you been doing? Dancing. Let's have a look. What

tartan have you got on? Douglas. This is the strongest man I have

ever touched, probably. What do you do? I throw things around. This is

one of the most ancient tests of strength in Scotland. And we throw

a weight, which is behind you. And we also toss the caber. Are you a

strong man, a weightlifter? I am currently the British weightlifting

champion. They have Highland Games in Iceland, Germany, Holland,

France, Spain. A couple of days ago I was in Indonesia.

On a Saturday night, do people challenge you to a fight? Arm-

wrestling all the time. Have you ever lost? No. Is this important to

you as a Scotsman? Yes, the most ancient form of sport. Magic!

you got underwear on? How embarrassing. Nice hair. I like

that where it is! This is Mrs Phillips. She is a teacher so I

have to call her Mrs Phillips. You say that you are a fan of the 80s.

Yes. So you like big hair? What do you teach? Music. We have a girl

from Shanghai, and one from Dusseldorf. I think we have created

the 1980s. Take a look. Lovely! Fabulous! Instead of the pupils

saying, your hair! They can say, wow, your hair! I think he was

aiming for him. I use some kind of hair magician? That is brilliant. I

have been looking for a natural redhead. Is this all yours? Sort of.

I lost the bet. What was it? worth this. I have never felt so

vulnerable. Look at all of this lovely hair. And you don't like it

any more. Music to my ears. I have just stood in a cowpat! What are

you up to here? We are going to have a race, which you are welcome

to join. Any adult that wants to join in. They will - for 60 metres.

I am like Usain Bolt in a kilt. Are you ready? Should I start to worry?

Yes. It is the no going back stage. I believe anybody can run. We run a

programme every year that trains people to run 10 kilometres in 10

weeks. The best bit is watching the faces of people who finish their

first race. You have a big sock and you can stick your knife down them.

For health and safety reasons, it is plastic. You have a natural

flick. It is the bits that you leave that make it look good. How

Take a look. That is really nice. Thank you so much. I am exhausted.

Thank you, Michael. If you fancy some Highland Games action, there

are four events this weekend in Gairloch, Glengarry, Luss and Cupar.

We have to admit, Andy Murray is no longer in Wimbledon., no! Let's

talk about the ladies. How about Gyles Brandreth giving us a special

It is 1969 and across the country everyone is gearing up for the

sporting event of the summer. The BBC is following colourful young

American Billie Jean King for the documentary. She has enjoyed three

successive victories here and is gearing up for a 4th title, much to

the dismay of these British fans, hoping for that elusive home

victory. I hope it is not Billie Jean King again. She has had enough

success. I know we are out to win, but she does not like losing.

was for nice the first year that she won. The second year was not so

hot. They seem to be implying Billie Jean is a bit of a bad loser.

Some early inspiration for McEnroe. In England, it means a lot if you

are a good sport. An English person will come off the court and say, it

was a good fight. At home, they don't care. If you lose, you are a

loser. Don't get your knickers in a twist. At least you are allowed to

play. If your husband had his way, you would be home serving cakes

instead of aces. I would be happy to have her home as a housewife but

she has but 14 years into her career. I cannot tell her to stop

her career because she is married. Very generous! Let's hear what

former British player Bobby Volz and had to say. The game is

possibly not quite so attractive today with the emphasis on some of

the girls, Billie Jean King, who charges around the court very much

like a man. Ouch! Imagine what he would make of the grunting these

days. It did not matter to Billie Jean, whose salary was bringing in

around �43,000 a year, the same as President Nixon was getting. But

what was really important to her was to finish in first place, and

she did not shirk on her preparation. To stay on top takes

two or three times the work that it never took to get there. Every year,

she would go and sit in the stands before the crowds arrive to steal

the nerves. There is a tip for you, Murray. And it has worked a treat.

Yet again, she is in the final against British number two,

Birmingham's finest, and Haydon Jones. She has a wonderful record

here. She loves playing at Wimbledon and is trying to win it

for the 4th time which must put pressure on her. But she has won

the championships, and I have not. Silence, please. These two went

head-to-head in the final, where Billie Jean won in straight sets.

Billie Jean is one set up and it must feel like deja-vu for Anne.

But she has fought back and it is one set all. All eyes on the ball,

if they can see from behind those glasses. Match point for Han,

Billie Jean to serve. A chance for the British player. It is a double

fault, and the trophy is back in British hands. At least, in this

film! Well, it is a sad ending for Billie Jean in this documentary,

but she will be back to win another three trophies here. If only you

could look into the future. Defeat lasts a lifetime, victory and lasts

for a fleeting moment, at least for me. I will never get over it. You

could ask me 20 years from now and I would still get the same painful
