Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.

:00:18.:00:21.

Now, on tonight's show, we will be meeting a group of people who have

:00:22.:00:25.

all decided to change their careers in later life. If you have ever

:00:26.:00:30.

thought about giving it all up and trying something new, we will find

:00:31.:00:34.

out just how easy it can be. We will have a chemist turned comedian,

:00:35.:00:42.

Julie. Hello. Hello. We have a joiner, turned pole climber. Evening

:00:43.:00:47.

George. Evening. Nice to see you. We have a Hollywood star turned metal

:00:48.:00:52.

detectorist. Mackenzie Crook is here. His words, not ours. He is

:00:53.:00:59.

picking something up. That will be the sequence. We have a tennis

:01:00.:01:05.

coach, turned ballroom dancer, Judy Murray. Plus a comedian turned

:01:06.:01:13.

musical impresario. David Baddiel. Welcome all. Lovely to have you with

:01:14.:01:22.

us. What David the child have thought about David the adult

:01:23.:01:25.

writing a musical? I tried hard to be a punk rocker when I was 20.

:01:26.:01:31.

Really? Is I wassen good at it, I didn't know how to backcomb my hair.

:01:32.:01:36.

It fell down. I would have thought that was a massive sell-out when I

:01:37.:01:41.

was 20. Now I'm really keen on it. I bet you are! Loving the jazz hands.

:01:42.:01:45.

Of course you are. We will find out more later on. Tonight we want to

:01:46.:01:50.

celebrate everyone who has changed direction later in life and tried

:01:51.:01:54.

something completely new. Please send in your pictures. We will show

:01:55.:02:02.

some later on. You know the address. Our Facebook page is open for

:02:03.:02:06.

friends - we need some more. On The One Show we are only too happy to

:02:07.:02:11.

help when viewers contact us and ask for assistance. Jasmine Harman has

:02:12.:02:17.

the story of Ruth Buckley. And this little photo. Last year, Roy grant

:02:18.:02:26.

died at the age of 91. He had lived a full life, but sadly he went to

:02:27.:02:31.

the grave with an unanswered question. Roy was buried with a very

:02:32.:02:38.

precious photograph. One he had carried with him for most of his

:02:39.:02:43.

life. This is a copy of it. It's a picture of him, stood next to his

:02:44.:02:47.

little brother, Victor. A brother he hadn't seen for 75 years. Since his

:02:48.:02:55.

death, the photos has become important to Roy's daughter, Ruth.

:02:56.:02:59.

This is Victor, my dad's younger brother. This is my dad, aged about

:03:00.:03:04.

10. It's outside the orphanage in Bristol. Shortly after they became

:03:05.:03:09.

orphans. They did have a brief time that they lived rough for a little

:03:10.:03:14.

while as well. Really And - As little kids like that? Yeah. It was

:03:15.:03:21.

1932. Nobody had any money. Do you know what happened? How did they

:03:22.:03:27.

become separated? As far as I'm aware dad left and became a boy

:03:28.:03:32.

soldier. Other than that, apart from the story of Victor being evacuated

:03:33.:03:37.

to Petersfield because of the war. That is when dad saw him last. When,

:03:38.:03:41.

where, how, dad couldn't remember. But he knew that is when he last saw

:03:42.:03:47.

him alive. Two weeks before my dad died, he made the comment, "I would

:03:48.:03:51.

have loved to have known what happened to Victor" because we tried

:03:52.:03:54.

before then to find out what happened. And then, he had an

:03:55.:04:01.

accident. We lost him. So, as far as I'm concerned, I'm trying to fulfill

:04:02.:04:04.

the last thing my dad asked me to do. Are you OK? Yeah. I know it's

:04:05.:04:10.

really hard. It is. He was such a wonderful man. He really was. Ruth

:04:11.:04:19.

asked The One Show if we could help solve the mystery. People finding

:04:20.:04:26.

expert, whiteway got re Kat Searching. She found Victor had died

:04:27.:04:32.

16 years ago. Was there anybody else who could answer Ruth's questions.

:04:33.:04:37.

Ruth confirmed that Victor was the youngest of five children. That was

:04:38.:04:40.

all she knew. Didn't have many more details. I ordered a copy of his

:04:41.:04:45.

birth certificate. That arrived and confirmed that his middle name was

:04:46.:04:50.

Thompson. I found a marriage certificate, which crucially it

:04:51.:04:55.

gives us an address. It says, "victor Thompson Grant was married

:04:56.:05:01.

in Bury St Edmunds. I contacted Suffolk county archives who were

:05:02.:05:05.

able to do a search of their old electoral registers. It confirmed

:05:06.:05:11.

that there was also a Sharon L Grant living at that address. I can see

:05:12.:05:15.

that was their daughter. Incredible. That is what I had been looking for.

:05:16.:05:20.

What Ruth has been looking for. Ruth doesn't know anything will Sharon.

:05:21.:05:24.

She has a cousin she knows nothing about. It's tragic that the boys

:05:25.:05:28.

lost both their parents and then each other. But maybe Roy's last

:05:29.:05:33.

wish to find out what became of his little brother is about to come

:05:34.:05:44.

true. Ruth, unfortunately, we have found out that Victor died. However,

:05:45.:05:51.

Victor had a daughter. , called Sharon. OK. She is your cousin. She

:05:52.:06:01.

is very keen to meet you. That's just amazing. We're going to see her

:06:02.:06:06.

right now. He did have somebody to love. I didn't want him to be on his

:06:07.:06:12.

own. That's what dad didn't want. I think that's what dad wanted to

:06:13.:06:16.

know, that he had family. That he had somebody to love. Are you OK?

:06:17.:06:25.

Yeah. How are you feeling about meeting your cousin? I'm so glad she

:06:26.:06:31.

said, yes. I'm so glad she said, yes. Find out what happens later

:06:32.:06:37.

when the cousins meet for the first time EVER! Very emotional journey

:06:38.:06:44.

there for Ruth. As Jasmine said, we will find out how the reunion goes

:06:45.:06:49.

later on. You know what it feels like to discover all sort of things

:06:50.:06:55.

about your family. You did - I did the first series of Who Do You Think

:06:56.:06:59.

You Are? . I bumped into an old cousin. They do lots of research

:07:00.:07:03.

trying to find people. We had run out of stuff because they were

:07:04.:07:07.

trying to contact my family, there is a section of my family who were

:07:08.:07:11.

religious. They were not picking up the phone. We ran out of ideas. I

:07:12.:07:21.

said Let's go to Golder's Green and have some Jewish food. A bloke

:07:22.:07:26.

approached me. Hello. Nice to meet you. It is extraordinary. Who are

:07:27.:07:32.

you? Clive was my dad. You are Clive's son. Does he have any other

:07:33.:07:39.

children? Five brothers and sisters. You are a the David, fantastic.

:07:40.:07:45.

Clive is? He is one of my uncles. People will think - all Jewish

:07:46.:07:50.

people have to go to Golder's Green and meet their family. It doesn't

:07:51.:07:56.

work like that. He came up to me and said, hello, I'm David Baddiel - I

:07:57.:08:01.

thought he was a nut case. It wasn't set up. No-one believes it, but it

:08:02.:08:06.

wasn't. Your mum was adopted. You don't know much about her history,

:08:07.:08:11.

do you? Part of what happened Who Do You Think You Are? , my mum revealed

:08:12.:08:16.

on camera that she was never convinced that her parents who were

:08:17.:08:24.

a refugee from Nazi German are her parents. That is what I was trying

:08:25.:08:27.

to find out. We never really found out the truth. You say there a link

:08:28.:08:36.

between that and the film you wrote, Infidel? . He lived his whole life

:08:37.:08:42.

as a Muslim and discovers in his 40's he was adopted and his parents

:08:43.:08:46.

were actually Jewish. There might be some identity confusion thing that

:08:47.:08:49.

I'm interested in there. Now it's a musical. This is the latest thing.

:08:50.:08:53.

How is it translating into the stage? Someone said once, to have a

:08:54.:08:57.

musical you have to have bits where it makes more sense for the

:08:58.:09:00.

characters to stop talking and burst into song. Have a song. That works

:09:01.:09:06.

when people are confused about their identity about who they are.

:09:07.:09:08.

Sometimes it's better to sing. That is sort of what happens in Fiddler

:09:09.:09:17.

on the Roof or the The Book of Mormon. I think it's that identity

:09:18.:09:24.

confusion that leads to music. When you are watching the rehearsals, you

:09:25.:09:29.

are rehearsing at the moment, are you happy with how it looks on

:09:30.:09:34.

stage? I have enjoyed it. What made it for he me, Erran Baron Cohen, he

:09:35.:09:38.

has done the music. This is a bit of it. Have you seen this? I was there

:09:39.:09:44.

this morning when it was filmed! I haven't seen it on TV before. Aaron

:09:45.:09:49.

is a film producer. He wrote the music for The Infidel the film. When

:09:50.:09:54.

I went to his studio - I wanted proper songs in it. I had written

:09:55.:09:59.

lyrics. I started writing with him. I didn't write it, the music is

:10:00.:10:03.

amazing. What I wanted was proper songs. Sometimes when I watch

:10:04.:10:07.

musicals, I'm not a big musical theatre, I think it's cod opera, I

:10:08.:10:15.

am not that bothered. I want proper songs. They are coming out of his

:10:16.:10:19.

ears. One catchy song out of another. We knew you western a huge

:10:20.:10:26.

musscle theatre fan. How did you become involved and why did it

:10:27.:10:30.

become a musical? The film did all right. It opened in 40 countries.

:10:31.:10:36.

People were asking for a sequel or a stage version. I thought, let's do

:10:37.:10:44.

something different with it. When I met Erran properly, I thought, there

:10:45.:10:47.

is a whole other life to it and energy. That is what is happening.

:10:48.:10:51.

Is it good or bad timing with what is going on in the world at the

:10:52.:10:54.

moment for this? I think it's kind of good timing. The message in is

:10:55.:10:59.

one of total tolerance. That is the message of it. It's about a Muslim

:11:00.:11:04.

who discovers he was born a Jew. When I grew up, Muslim and Jew were

:11:05.:11:08.

not opposites. They have become that in this weird way. That is terrible

:11:09.:11:14.

in many ways. It's a culture clash. I can create a culture clash. It

:11:15.:11:20.

sounds like it is the one consolation of these things. That is

:11:21.:11:25.

not what I'm trying to say. It's a way of exploring it which is perhaps

:11:26.:11:30.

the only way of talking about it. Musicals are often the best way? I

:11:31.:11:37.

think it is. The Infidel is at the Theatre Royal Stratford East from

:11:38.:11:40.

this Saturday. It is. Exciting. Good luck with it. Please come! They are

:11:41.:11:48.

ruining it without me! Tonight, we are celebrating people doing

:11:49.:11:51.

something new a little bit later on in life. We had loads of photos in,

:11:52.:11:59.

we will show them in a bit. This is a photo of MP Douglas Carswell. He

:12:00.:12:07.

is trying something new. His new friend is Nigel. His actions have

:12:08.:12:11.

triggered next week's by-election in Clacton. John Sergeant has been to

:12:12.:12:17.

chew the fact, the bacon and the sausages with a few of the local

:12:18.:12:23.

voters. When you think of the great British seaside, the sand, the

:12:24.:12:27.

seagulls and a grand old pier spring to mind. Here in crack to tonne,

:12:28.:12:33.

there is something else - Clacton, a political rollercoaster has hit

:12:34.:12:38.

town. Next week there is a by-election triggered by Douglas

:12:39.:12:41.

Carswel defection to UKIP. To get a taste of the campaign, I'm going to

:12:42.:12:46.

have breakfast with supporters from all the main parties. I know it will

:12:47.:12:51.

be difficult, I'm big enough to take it on -- Carswell. Two doors down

:12:52.:12:59.

from the Conservative campaign office, is the Gossip coffee shop.

:13:00.:13:13.

Will. Douglas Carswell is going for UKIP, what do you think of that? He

:13:14.:13:20.

has been brave to switch to UKIP, giving up 12,000 majority seat.

:13:21.:13:25.

Very, very hard to assess who is going to win this one. I will stick

:13:26.:13:30.

with Conservative, at least until next general election. You are

:13:31.:13:50.

originally from Mauritaus. Food for thought. On to breakfast number two

:13:51.:13:55.

with Laura and Sarah, a mother and daughter who run the Blue Bird Tea

:13:56.:14:00.

roomings, they are far from true blue. Thank you very much. You are

:14:01.:14:05.

welcome. You are a Labour supporter? I am indeed. What do you think about

:14:06.:14:11.

this UKIP business? If I'm honest, I'm quite surprised that UKIP has

:14:12.:14:15.

such a big following. I think, as a new business here, that Labour is

:14:16.:14:20.

for us because they are backing the apprenticeship, which is great for

:14:21.:14:23.

us. I have had a breakfast before this - Oh, you have. I'm enjoying

:14:24.:14:29.

this. It's very nice. This mission is harder than I thought. Still a

:14:30.:14:34.

brisk walk should revive my appetite. At the pier avenue cafe I

:14:35.:14:39.

meet Eddie, a Lib Dem supporter. He is keen to give me breakfast. Would

:14:40.:14:46.

you like a waffle. Thank you. There is syrup. Why not. Why do you think

:14:47.:14:53.

it matters for people to vote Lib Dem Carswell was good as a

:14:54.:14:56.

Conservative, but it would be the same face, different trousers when

:14:57.:15:02.

he's with UKIP. I worry that a place like Clacton, it used to have a

:15:03.:15:07.

Butlins, it used to be a good seaside resort and it has lost its

:15:08.:15:12.

identity. Is it an argument between two sorts of Conservatives? Yeah. I

:15:13.:15:20.

do. Yeah. One Conservative wants to stay in Europe, the others doesn't.

:15:21.:15:23.

Three breakfasts two more to go. They share any surplus with the

:15:24.:15:38.

local community. This is the perfect transport for Dreams. It has been

:15:39.:15:43.

our only transport for the last 21 years. Are people getting the Green

:15:44.:15:49.

message? I think so. The planet seems to be telling us we need to

:15:50.:15:53.

move in that direction reasonably quickly. Yes, but what about our

:15:54.:16:00.

particular concern? You know I am looking for breakfast. I think we

:16:01.:16:04.

might be able to find you something. I will have some tomatoes. That was

:16:05.:16:14.

very tasty. One more to go. My final stop is an American diner. It is run

:16:15.:16:20.

by a former Conservative who has turned to UKIP. Like the with cars

:16:21.:16:27.

well. Our people excited about the by-election I cannot believe the

:16:28.:16:33.

impression it has made on the town. Are you convinced UKIP is going to

:16:34.:16:40.

win? I think there is no doubt about it. Everybody is fed up hearing the

:16:41.:16:43.

same things being said and nothing going forward. I think it will be

:16:44.:16:48.

for the benefit of everyone. Do you fancy breakfast? Do you have a

:16:49.:16:53.

continental breakfast? We don't do that. Something small. I can give

:16:54.:17:03.

you the winner of our competition, it is Sarah with eggs Benedict.

:17:04.:17:14.

Scrumptious. Let's hope he's get lunch. We will see what happens next

:17:15.:17:26.

week. All the information about the elections is on the BBC News

:17:27.:17:30.

website. It is time to talk to someone else doing something

:17:31.:17:33.

completely new in life. Please welcome Judy Murray and Anton Du

:17:34.:17:52.

Beke. Straight from rehearsals. Sit down. How are your legs? My legs are

:17:53.:17:57.

fine. My feet are killing me. Those shoes hurt. I am used to trainers.

:17:58.:18:05.

Killer heels have taken on a whole new meaning. Have you managed to

:18:06.:18:10.

catch any of your sons playing tennis? They had a great week. I did

:18:11.:18:21.

not see any of it. More importantly, their saw me dancing. My

:18:22.:18:25.

daughter-in-law recorded it with her phone off the television and emailed

:18:26.:18:29.

it to them, because of the time difference. Is that the first time

:18:30.:18:34.

you have never watched their matches? I never watch it when it is

:18:35.:18:38.

on television, so if I am not there I don't watch it. In case you missed

:18:39.:18:47.

their debut on Friday, here it is, dancing the waltz. I thought for a

:18:48.:19:03.

very difficult dance you did very well. This is like the maiden flight

:19:04.:19:09.

into an news guy that got hit by turbulence. -- a new sky. Posture is

:19:10.:19:18.

appalling. The head needs to be more to the left. You gave it a go. Well

:19:19.:19:27.

done. You probably would not have heard what Anton said. You had about

:19:28.:19:34.

five seconds of the dance and about five minutes of those idiots

:19:35.:19:38.

talking. How was your first experience? It was really nerve

:19:39.:19:47.

wracking. I did not think I was nervous until I stepped out. I was

:19:48.:19:52.

hanging onto him for grim death. My goal was to get round without

:19:53.:19:56.

tripping and not to lose the direction of where I was going. You

:19:57.:20:03.

did that really well. That is the sportsperson in you. You have said

:20:04.:20:06.

you are a bad loser. What did it feel like, in Anton's words,

:20:07.:20:14.

appearing those idiots? I was not expecting to do it really well. That

:20:15.:20:19.

is why my goal was not to lose where I was going. Having watched some of

:20:20.:20:25.

the others, Frankie for example, I saw how beautifully she did it, I

:20:26.:20:29.

saw all of the things I did not manage to do. I have never danced

:20:30.:20:34.

before and I am not a performer so I was happy to get through it. You

:20:35.:20:40.

mentioned Frankie. There is a lot of talk that lots of people have had

:20:41.:20:43.

some form of dance training in the past. Do you feel that? Are you at a

:20:44.:20:49.

disadvantage because so many have performed before? We are all in the

:20:50.:20:56.

same boat. It might be is a little bit easier for the guys and the

:20:57.:20:59.

girls who are more used the dances and learning routines. For me it was

:21:00.:21:05.

starting everything from scratch. I partner has been a saint.

:21:06.:21:09.

Highlighted when you say that. The judges said you will improve. I

:21:10.:21:19.

better. What is your aim is time? Survival. What did you get? Don't

:21:20.:21:31.

ask. Not enough. Jamie said, don't worry about the marks, it is

:21:32.:21:35.

important not to peak too early. Over the years we have seen how the

:21:36.:21:40.

Dunblane Tennis Club has got behind Andy as he competes in Wimbledon,

:21:41.:21:45.

but will they be supporting Judy in this year's Strictly? Iwan is there.

:21:46.:21:59.

Are you enjoying the tennis? Yes. This is where Andy learned his

:22:00.:22:05.

trade and Judy cracked the whip. Judy is the pupil. Is Judy going to

:22:06.:22:15.

win? Yes! She is your aunt. Is she going to win? No. Yes. She is going

:22:16.:22:23.

to improve every week. Who is going to be the next Andy Murray? All of

:22:24.:22:31.

you! One person who knows her probably more than anybody is hard

:22:32.:22:35.

childhood friend who she grew up with. Tell me she was good at

:22:36.:22:42.

dancing. I am not sure about dancing, but she was good on the

:22:43.:22:46.

tennis court. What can Anton do to help her relax? A glass of wine and

:22:47.:22:52.

some chocolate. Maybe just one glass. It is buzzing down here.

:22:53.:23:00.

There are kids everywhere. It is brilliant in Dunblane. You have the

:23:01.:23:07.

local golf course as well. This is the place to grow up if you want to

:23:08.:23:14.

get into sport. I am sure you will recognise these scenes that came

:23:15.:23:19.

from here in 2013 when Andy won Wimbledon. It was amazing. It was

:23:20.:23:26.

brilliant. You probably want to know how good he was as a child. Did he

:23:27.:23:35.

win? Nothing. They did not let him play he was so good. They would not

:23:36.:23:40.

let Judy play either, so she took up squash. Was she good? She won it in

:23:41.:23:54.

1988 and 1989. Are there any other Murray champions? That is Judy's mum

:23:55.:24:01.

and she is still here running the tuck shop. She made me a lovely cup

:24:02.:24:10.

of tea only. Normally you watch your grandchildren. Is it scary watching

:24:11.:24:17.

your daughter? Very scary, but if her enthusiasm and commitment to the

:24:18.:24:22.

show is anything to go by she will do well. Was she a good dancer as a

:24:23.:24:29.

child? No, she was not really interested. She went to a few

:24:30.:24:34.

lessons but I was asked to take her away because she was too disruptive.

:24:35.:24:44.

Do we think she can win it? Yes! I have heard all about your

:24:45.:24:48.

shortbread. And I sample some? It looks so nice. Let me try that.

:24:49.:25:07.

Unluckily, and John. -- unlucky, Anton. She never told me she was

:25:08.:25:12.

doing that. She kept that very quiet, which is not like her. You

:25:13.:25:17.

did a bit of dancing. We have a lovely picture of you about seven

:25:18.:25:23.

years old. I think that was in the Dunblane dance school at the local

:25:24.:25:28.

community Hall near the railway station and I was then that until I

:25:29.:25:32.

was about seven and then she was asked to remove me because I was a

:25:33.:25:36.

disruptive influence. She said I was a nightmare. It is extraordinary to

:25:37.:25:43.

see the impact that place has had on your lives. Yes. As soon as you take

:25:44.:25:49.

anything back today and Blaine, everything becomes very emotional,

:25:50.:25:53.

because that is where everything started -- Dunblane. It is where I

:25:54.:26:02.

live. We see the course covered in kids and my mum is still running the

:26:03.:26:07.

tuck shop. She has been doing it for about 50 years. Amazing. Strictly is

:26:08.:26:13.

back on this Saturday at 6:20pm on BBC One. We will be finding out by

:26:14.:26:19.

Mackenzie Crook has dedicated the last two years to metal detecting.

:26:20.:26:26.

Joe Crowley meets a treasure hunter who hit the underground jackpot.

:26:27.:26:35.

Would you believe it? I have a bonus. I could buy the latest

:26:36.:26:41.

threats. I should save it, perhaps for a holiday. With today's saving

:26:42.:26:49.

rates being soul all and those bankers, I don't trust putting my

:26:50.:26:57.

cash in their hands. I will bury it here and remember where it is.

:26:58.:27:01.

Beneath our feet lies hundreds of centuries of history. How hard can

:27:02.:27:07.

it be? I have all the gear and big ideas about finding a valuable

:27:08.:27:19.

hoard. Maybe I need some tips. Close to the ground. Listen carefully to

:27:20.:27:29.

the towns. High tones are good. That is mid-range. Generally I is good?

:27:30.:27:45.

High is good. I found a couple of small Roman coins. I dug down about

:27:46.:27:52.

12 inches and it was completely coins. Coins all-round. Amazing. I

:27:53.:28:05.

phoned my wife to try to contact the authorities to tell them I had

:28:06.:28:08.

stumbled upon something special. How did you safeguard it? It is a worry

:28:09.:28:14.

driving away from something potentially fantastic so I decided I

:28:15.:28:22.

would stay there that night in the car. There must be a sense there is

:28:23.:28:28.

money in it. It is not money driven. It is the artefacts and the history.

:28:29.:28:35.

It is fantastic. It is history. It is amazing. The coins are curtly

:28:36.:28:46.

being valued. -- currently. How many coins are here? 1000 coins. The

:28:47.:28:54.

other 21,000 are in the British Museum. How old would these be? From

:28:55.:29:16.

about the hundred and 18 A.D. 318-341 AD. This would have been a

:29:17.:29:23.

year's salary. I think it likely that it was an offers safe, these

:29:24.:29:30.

were used to pay off agricultural workers and for some reason things

:29:31.:29:34.

got tricky and they decided to bury them instead. How significant is

:29:35.:29:41.

this? So few of these found in Europe. This is one of the biggest

:29:42.:29:49.

ever found. I think treasure hunting might require a bit more patience

:29:50.:29:53.

and dedication than I have, but you never know when you might strike it

:29:54.:29:56.

lucky. You never know. I used to be

:29:57.:30:05.

obsessed when I was little. My grandfather had one. We have been

:30:06.:30:11.

joined by Mackenzie. Welcome to the show. You have written and directed

:30:12.:30:21.

a series called The Detectorists. A term you made up. That is what they

:30:22.:30:26.

call themselves. They are not metal detectors, that is the machine. It

:30:27.:30:29.

is a good word. What came first for you, was it the project or an

:30:30.:30:36.

interest you had in it and that is why you wrote it? I have been

:30:37.:30:41.

fascinated by. It an intriguing pass time. I wanted to get a met Osama

:30:42.:30:47.

Bin Laden detector as a kid. I watched an episode of Time Team,

:30:48.:30:57.

there had was a couple of metal detectorists on. -- metal detechor

:30:58.:31:14.

as a kid. I found a Victorian metal sixpence. It was as if someone

:31:15.:31:18.

planted it there to get me interested. Since then nothing!

:31:19.:31:25.

Nothing since? I bought these. They seem to beep at everything, not

:31:26.:31:30.

treasure. Yes. The more you spend on a metal detector they discriminate

:31:31.:31:36.

it between different metals. Judy, does this world appeal to you? Of

:31:37.:31:46.

metal detectisting? No. Yes. Let us have a look. You would be amazed at

:31:47.:31:50.

the things you have missed because you have been locked-in your own

:31:51.:31:56.

little world, staring at the floor. Rubbish.

:31:57.:32:05.

Brilliant. Brilliant. Excellent club. Clip. Sums it up. You had to

:32:06.:32:18.

learn a new language. They have so much jargon you had to put it in the

:32:19.:32:24.

script. I couldn't put too much in for the viewers who don't know about

:32:25.:32:30.

metal detecting. As with any hobby people get obsessed by they make up

:32:31.:32:33.

their own language. There are various terms. Give us examples.

:32:34.:32:40.

Theys are hammies. They are Roman coin. Hammy is a hammered coin. The

:32:41.:32:48.

old fashioned way of producing coins. Then the other Juan is

:32:49.:32:55.

canslaw. What happens in this comedy. It's not a documentary about

:32:56.:33:02.

metal detecting? No it's a story of two middle-aged guys. Their lives

:33:03.:33:07.

set against a background of this hobby they escape to on a weekend.

:33:08.:33:12.

They just enjoy each other's company and talk rubbish in the fields.

:33:13.:33:19.

Sounds good. The detectorists on BBC Four tomorrow night at 10.00pm. You

:33:20.:33:24.

have been sending in pictures of those who have taken a new direction

:33:25.:33:30.

in your life. At the age of 50, Fiona Platt went from head of design

:33:31.:33:36.

to florist. She is loving it. Andy moved outdoors this year after years

:33:37.:33:41.

in an office. Brian was an electrician and has become a brewer

:33:42.:33:46.

at the age of 50. So much more fun as a brewer. Ann, a nurse at the age

:33:47.:33:56.

of 18. This is her as a student nurse in 1972. After four years of

:33:57.:33:59.

nursing she has become a photographer. She does weddings.

:34:00.:34:04.

Speaking of people who have tried something new. We have been joined

:34:05.:34:07.

by 80-year-old Julie who was a chemist and is now a comedian. He is

:34:08.:34:12.

doing stand-up in London pubs. She will give us a quick turn. Take it

:34:13.:34:19.

away. Hello. I really do believe it is never too late to do something

:34:20.:34:26.

new in life. Not only that, but to discover you can do something you

:34:27.:34:32.

never believed you can. For me, it was stand-up comedy at age 77.

:34:33.:34:40.

No-one believed I had a funny bone - me either! I had to learn a new

:34:41.:34:53.

language. I did. For stand-up comedy. The first stand-up my

:34:54.:35:00.

daughter called me all the way from America - mummy, you cannot speak

:35:01.:35:07.

like that. You cannot use four letter words. Not you! But she's not

:35:08.:35:15.

here! APPLAUSE

:35:16.:35:18.

There we are. Thank you. Very good. Julie was saying she is single and

:35:19.:35:26.

ready to mingle! Hello, thank you. Goodbye. Judy, when you signed upped

:35:27.:35:33.

for strictly did you read all of the small-print? Did you know how much

:35:34.:35:37.

you would be sweating through the routines? I read most of it and

:35:38.:35:42.

asked someone else to read it for me so they with understand it better. I

:35:43.:35:46.

knew I was getting myself into a lot of hours of training and obligations

:35:47.:35:51.

out with the training. No way did I sign up for sore feet. Not many

:35:52.:35:59.

people read the small-print. Lots of people miss small-print. Sarah Mack

:36:00.:36:04.

has hit the streets of Glasgow to see if people will literally sign

:36:05.:36:07.

their life away on one of our contracts. Car insurance, credit

:36:08.:36:16.

cards, loan applications. Most of us have to fill in a form at some

:36:17.:36:20.

stage. How often do we overlook the small-print? In fact, a recent

:36:21.:36:27.

survey carried out on 3,000 adults by the Moneyadvice Service,

:36:28.:36:32.

suggested 84% of people didn't read the tiny terms and conditions before

:36:33.:36:36.

signing on the dotted line. Of those who did read them, only 17%

:36:37.:36:42.

understood them. So, we thought we would put those results to the test.

:36:43.:36:46.

Here on the streets of Glasgow we have decided to ask unassuming

:36:47.:36:50.

members of the public if they would like free drinks, in exchange for

:36:51.:36:57.

signing an agreement. But, will they really read The One Show T's and C's

:36:58.:37:06.

before hand? Free tea, free coffee. Could I introduce you in a tea or

:37:07.:37:11.

coffee. Sure. Do you take milk? Milk. Will you fill in the consent

:37:12.:37:21.

form. Mrs Moore. Moore. Not Muir! You don't want me to read out all

:37:22.:37:24.

the conditions and things like that? No. Have a sip - enjoy. Where are

:37:25.:37:31.

the keys much we will take them now. Keys, what keys. For your house? If

:37:32.:37:36.

you want to read the small-print. That is a lot of small-print. Where

:37:37.:37:40.

is your car? My car? You handed over the keys to your car? Really? You

:37:41.:37:48.

swines! Where would you like to strip off, we need your underwear.

:37:49.:37:53.

Nobody told me. You signed the form saying you would go down the street

:37:54.:37:58.

dressed as a penguin. Did you not read the small-print on these terms

:37:59.:38:02.

and conditions. You are willing for The One Show to shave your head. I

:38:03.:38:08.

did like a new hairdo. Do you normally read the small-print?

:38:09.:38:12.

No-one reads the small-print. I don't often read it. Adults failing

:38:13.:38:19.

to understand financial jargon costs ?428 per person in the past year.

:38:20.:38:24.

Nationally, this would equate to ?21 billion. Read the small-print - very

:38:25.:38:30.

important, OK! Thank you for your time. It would be nice if they

:38:31.:38:34.

highlighted the crucial bits and say the crucial elements are, one, two,

:38:35.:38:38.

three, four and five. Keep your underwear on. That is no problem. We

:38:39.:38:44.

have been joined by people's consumer Champion, Angela Rippon.

:38:45.:38:47.

Lovely to see you, as always. If like those people you get caught out

:38:48.:38:51.

by the small-print, have to give your pants to Sarah Mack or run down

:38:52.:38:57.

the street as a penguin what you can you do? There is a white knight in

:38:58.:39:02.

shining armour called the Financial Ombudsman. They are there to help if

:39:03.:39:08.

you feel you have been caught out by a contract where the terms and

:39:09.:39:13.

conditions were so long, 30,000 words, the equivalent of a small

:39:14.:39:17.

novel, so many of them, the important bits were not highlighted

:39:18.:39:20.

and pointed out to you when you signed the contract. Nine times out

:39:21.:39:25.

of ten, because the Financial Ombudsman Service are fed up, I

:39:26.:39:29.

think, with the number of companies, telly communication companies,

:39:30.:39:33.

mobile phone companies, grms. We talked about that earlier. Insurance

:39:34.:39:37.

companies. All sorts of people who hideaway the most important parts of

:39:38.:39:42.

a contract, tucked away in - it is small-print. You have to get it up

:39:43.:39:47.

to here or get a microscope out to read it. So fed up up with it, nine

:39:48.:39:54.

times out of ten they will vote in your if you make a complaint to the

:39:55.:39:59.

Financial What have people Ombudsman. Missed that cause the

:40:00.:40:03.

biggest problems? Because they haven't seen them, we don't know

:40:04.:40:08.

what it is they haves missed. For instance, we have looked at

:40:09.:40:10.

instances where someone wanted to finish a mortgage. He had enough

:40:11.:40:15.

money he wanted to pay it off. Common. He discovered on page five,

:40:16.:40:21.

clause 24 of the terms and conditions of the mortgage company,

:40:22.:40:24.

he would have to pay an enormous extra amount of money for finishing

:40:25.:40:29.

that contract early. There are an awful lot of things that are Ied

:40:30.:40:33.

hadden in the small-print. So what - someone else with a mobile

:40:34.:40:36.

telephone, for instance, he looked on the schedule that came with his

:40:37.:40:40.

mobile phone. If he lost it ?25 excess. In the contract, it said it

:40:41.:40:45.

was ?50. Why would you look at the contract and expect it to say

:40:46.:40:49.

different if you had read the schedule. The advice we give on Rip

:40:50.:40:54.

Off Britain, any consumer programme is - if you don't have time to read

:40:55.:40:58.

the terms and conditions, we don't, none of us will sit for five hours

:40:59.:41:03.

and read that tiny, tiny print, it's important when you are signing a

:41:04.:41:06.

contract or buy any kind of goods or service that you go through the

:41:07.:41:10.

terms of the contract, face-to-face, with whoever is trying to sell it to

:41:11.:41:14.

you. Either one-to-one or on the telephone. Say out right. Are there

:41:15.:41:17.

things in the contract that are likely to catch me out in the

:41:18.:41:22.

future? If so, what are they? Take notes. Get them to send the

:41:23.:41:25.

important points of that contract to you in a separate letter and then if

:41:26.:41:28.

you do get caught out by anything you can go to the Financial

:41:29.:41:31.

Ombudsman. There is the proof thchl is what they told me. I have been

:41:32.:41:35.

caught out by something they did not highlight for me. Thank you very

:41:36.:41:39.

much. I was given something to sign before I came on here. I signed it.

:41:40.:41:43.

I didn't read anything on it. You didn't read it. Oh, mistake, big

:41:44.:41:48.

mistake! You will have to give your underwear. You will see him running

:41:49.:41:52.

down the street in a minute with a free coffee. In a minute we will

:41:53.:41:59.

speak to George, who likes to climb up wooden poles. Let me explain more

:42:00.:42:04.

in a minute. Looks like he is ready for it. Andy Torbet climbs the

:42:05.:42:12.

largest living pole in Britain. From the highest mountain in the UK to

:42:13.:42:16.

the biggest lake in Britain, Scotland is no stranger to

:42:17.:42:20.

record-breaking natural wonders. There is a new Champion on the scene

:42:21.:42:24.

- once again, he can be found right here in the highlands. For the first

:42:25.:42:31.

time, I will be climb that champion to find out how tall it really is.

:42:32.:42:40.

Reelig Glen is home to wide range of tree species including fir, spruce.

:42:41.:42:45.

Many of the trees were planted in 18 00's by a state owner and are the

:42:46.:42:49.

result of plant hunting trips to far-flung destinations. There must

:42:50.:42:53.

be something special about this glen. More than 120 years later,

:42:54.:43:01.

many of those trees introduced have grown to champion proportions. Giles

:43:02.:43:12.

Brockman manages the glen. This is the tallest common lyme in the UK.

:43:13.:43:19.

It measures 46 meters in height. This is the tallest Norway spruce in

:43:20.:43:23.

the UK. Shall measuring out at 47 meters. Just look over your

:43:24.:43:29.

shoulder. There is the UK's tallest European larch tree. Topping out at

:43:30.:43:34.

slightly over 48 meters. What is it about this area that make it is a

:43:35.:43:38.

breeding ground for champions? There is a couple of factors. The fact it

:43:39.:43:43.

is a valley. Valleys, because they of their steep sided nature, the

:43:44.:43:47.

trees compete for light. That competition draws them up. The

:43:48.:43:51.

second thing, they are sheltered and protected from the winds blasting

:43:52.:43:54.

across the top of the hills here. That again is allowing them to

:43:55.:43:59.

maximise their height growth. In the competitive world of the tallest

:44:00.:44:02.

tree what factors can make the difference? A fat pigeon that lands

:44:03.:44:08.

on the top of a growing point and snaps it out much you have lost 30

:44:09.:44:14.

centimetres in the blink of an eye. Being amongst these giants is awe

:44:15.:44:18.

inspiring. It makes you feel small. I haven't seen the biggest one.

:44:19.:44:22.

There is a tree that is THE tallest in Britain. Who better to introduce

:44:23.:44:27.

me to the real record breaker than John Miller. John measures and

:44:28.:44:35.

records trees for the National Tree Database. Planted in 1881. How would

:44:36.:44:44.

you measure something that was this high? I use this. It uses the

:44:45.:44:55.

principles of trinom tri. It's not the most accurate and you can never

:44:56.:44:59.

be sure you have seen the top of the tree. The best way is climbing the

:45:00.:45:05.

tree of course. Long thought to be Britain's tallest tree, this will be

:45:06.:45:09.

the first time we will get the definitive answer as I try to get

:45:10.:45:13.

the most accurate reading possible. That means climbing this 200 plus

:45:14.:45:17.

conifer on my own, armed with what is possibly the world's largest tape

:45:18.:45:24.

measure. This pole will measure the top section.

:45:25.:45:30.

It is quite a challenge. This tree is the height of 15 double-decker

:45:31.:45:40.

buses stacked on top of each other and I am starting to feel the

:45:41.:45:46.

strain. I am about half way. That is where I have come from and that is

:45:47.:45:52.

where I am going to. As I approached the top, the heavens opened and it

:45:53.:46:02.

starts to poorer with rain. -- pour. This is as far as I can climb. Any

:46:03.:46:08.

higher and I am going to break the top of the tree, which I do not want

:46:09.:46:20.

to do with Britain's tallest tree. I will use my ridiculously large tape

:46:21.:46:23.

measure. I have finished the measurements. The tallies are in...

:46:24.:46:33.

It is still Britain's tallest tree at 65 metres. This is a spectacular

:46:34.:46:39.

place. Nature is arriving on a gigantic scale and hopefully our

:46:40.:46:43.

giant will maintain top spot for a few more years.

:46:44.:46:54.

That brings back memories. You could have done that. I could have done

:46:55.:47:00.

that. We are joined by another person who changed what you might

:47:01.:47:04.

bid later in life. George, tell us what you use to do and what your new

:47:05.:47:16.

hobby is. A joiner. My new hobby is pole climbing. For anyone who has

:47:17.:47:20.

not seen it, we are going to shop a little clip of you in action. --

:47:21.:47:27.

show. This was that the weekend. You are 81. How long does it take you to

:47:28.:47:34.

get to the top of that? I think about 27 seconds.

:47:35.:47:42.

APPLAUSE This started when you were 65. Why

:47:43.:47:46.

did you want to start climbing wooden poles? A friend took me out

:47:47.:47:59.

and I asked if I could have a go. It took me 26 seconds for the first

:48:00.:48:05.

climb. Unbelievable. To prove how good he is, you went up against an

:48:06.:48:10.

ex-Commonwealth athlete, and this is what happened.

:48:11.:48:23.

You can see Iwan is considerably slower than you. What do you think

:48:24.:48:30.

of his technique? Not bad. You have made your own kit. There is a spike

:48:31.:48:42.

on the front with a cycle shoe. Yes. This is bent the opposite way. This

:48:43.:48:55.

is part of the spine... Like a cycle? No, a chair lift. What would

:48:56.:49:10.

you say to anybody approaching their 80s who thinks it is crazy? Have a

:49:11.:49:18.

go. If you are watching, maybe it is not a good idea to go outside and

:49:19.:49:22.

climb. It is not the easiest thing to do. George would disagree. And

:49:23.:49:37.

time -- Anton, you have danced with some older partners, Judy aside, is

:49:38.:49:45.

aged a barrier? To dance is a great thing, mentally and physically, and

:49:46.:49:53.

as you get much older often people become lonely and stay indoors, so

:49:54.:49:58.

to go out and dance socially is a great thing for people. Absolutely.

:49:59.:50:04.

If you were going to not be a dancer, what would you do? I would

:50:05.:50:11.

be a pole climber. Probably a different sort of pole. We have a

:50:12.:50:20.

message from one of Anton's former pupils. I am very envious of you

:50:21.:50:28.

this year. First of all, listen to everything he tells you because he

I must be the only contestant who has put on weight during Strictly

Rory lost touch with his brother when he was evacuated during the

:51:17.:51:20.

war. He never stop wondering what happened to him, but died before the

:51:21.:51:25.

mystery could be solved. Today, their daughters will meet for the

:51:26.:51:30.

first time ever to symbolically reunite their fathers after 75 years

:51:31.:51:37.

apart. The location we have chosen is city of Bristol College, which

:51:38.:51:42.

was once their father's orphanage. How are you feeling? It is hard to

:51:43.:51:53.

say. Nerves. Victor's daughter Sharon has come to the orphanage.

:51:54.:51:57.

Until we contacted her, she knew nothing about her father's brother

:51:58.:52:03.

or race. How are you feeling about meeting your cousin? -- Ruth. This

:52:04.:52:17.

is your cousin. Hello. Hello. How are you? Fine. I am so pleased you

:52:18.:52:31.

have agreed to this. It is amazing. All this time I have wanted to say,

:52:32.:52:36.

my dad never forgot your dad. He carried him with him all his life.

:52:37.:52:48.

It is amazing. You must feel shell-shocked. Completely. My dad

:52:49.:52:57.

very rarely talked about family. I do not know whether things were

:52:58.:53:01.

traumatic and he chose to forget it. It was not until he died that I

:53:02.:53:04.

realised I did not know much about him. Shall we look at these

:53:05.:53:10.

photographs? This is my wedding day and this is my mum and dad. This is

sector. He was quite solitary -- Victor. Dad buried himself in books.

:53:19.:53:28.

My dad loved books. He talked about nature. My dad loved nature. Like

:53:29.:53:43.

two peas in a pod in some ways. . Researchers have analysed this and

:53:44.:53:48.

found the exact spot. That is amazing. Nearby, a charitable trust

:53:49.:54:01.

holds documents relating to the orphanage, documents the cousins

:54:02.:54:07.

have never seen. These are the photographs from the same sort of

:54:08.:54:12.

time, day trips and playing. The children look happy. It is nice to

:54:13.:54:20.

keep something like this. It is probably nicer than I imagined it

:54:21.:54:23.

would be. Somebody cared enough to give them a chance. We would not be

:54:24.:54:32.

here otherwise. This is a reporter, intelligent and attentive, eg

:54:33.:54:48.

readers -- a cheery disposition. I am very sorry to leave my smaller

brother. You're grateful orphan. There are lots of documents relating

:54:58.:55:01.

to the brothers. We may not have found out why they lost touch but be

:55:02.:55:06.

filled in some of the blanks. I have gone from knowing my dad to really

:55:07.:55:11.

knowing my dad. We have both made each other and I hope in the future

:55:12.:55:23.

your families will remain in touch. We owe it to them. We hope so. If

:55:24.:55:30.

you have a story that is similar, get in touch. Speaking of families,

your own has inspired you into writing a children's's book. My son

:55:45.:55:52.

from the family that doesn't treat him well and tried to find some

:55:53.:55:58.

parents? I said, I don't know. But that gave me an idea. My book is

:55:59.:56:06.

about a child who is fed up with his parents, they are dull, whatever,

:56:07.:56:11.

and he wishes he has better parents and she goes into a world where my

:56:12.:56:16.

kids are allowed to choose their own parents. One of the things... Did

you go and read bets? -- bits. I thought, I have two kids on tap.

:56:43.:56:52.

What kind of books did Andy like? I remember his favourite was about

:56:53.:56:56.

this monkey who lost his confidence and he looked everywhere and he

:56:57.:57:01.

found it inside himself. He loved that. Anton, when you were younger?
