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 | :50:29. | :50:32. | |
knows exactly what he is doing and he can kill with people who park up | :50:33. | :50:39. | |
-- he can cope with people who do not perhaps have the law of dancing. | :50:40. | :50:45. | |
I must be the only contestant who has put on weight during Strictly | :50:46. | :50:59. | |
because of Victoria Sponge. George, do you fancy some? Speaking of the | :51:00. | :51:07. | |
unions, it is time to discover how Jasmine got on. -- reunions. | :51:08. | :51:16. | |
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 | :53:11. | :53:18. | |
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 | :54:49. | :54:57. | |
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, | :55:31. | :55:39. | |
your own has inspired you into writing a children's's book. My son | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
Mack was talking about Harry Potter and said, why doesn't Harry Runaway | :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 | :56:17. | :56:42. | |
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? | :57:02. | :57:26. | |
Enid Blyton. The famous five. I was like, I liked those cowboy boots, | :57:27. | :57:37. | |
picture books -- books. No words, just pictures. The Parent Agency is | :57:38. | :57:54. | |
out next Thursday. Thank you for the pictures you have been sending in. | :57:55. | :58:00. | |
Jennifer was a nurse and is a supporting artists at the London | :58:01. | :58:06. | |
Palladium. After bringing up her five children, Valerie join her | :58:07. | :58:16. | |
local drama group. -- joined. This is Leslie, who took up scuba-diving | :58:17. | :58:41. | |
aged 64. Calling all parents, grandparents, if you sing in a band, | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
contact us and you could be on the show. That is it. Thank you to our | :58:46. | :58:52. | |
guests. Strictly is back on Saturday. Tomorrow we are joined by | :58:53. | :59:02. | |
Sharon. Hello, I'm Sophie Long with | :59:03. | :59:22. | |
your 90-second update. In the last hour, | :59:23. | :59:25. | |
police have confirmed that a body | :59:26. | :59:28. |
