02/02/2017 The One Show

Well, hello, and welcome to The One Show with Angela Scanlon. And Matt

Baker. Can we turn the lights on? We're trying to save money. It's

freezing, where's my cappuccino? It's expensive, there's water in the

tap. Why are you being so stingy, seriously? Well, this is all to do

with tonight's guest. He is playing a money pinching miser on stage.

Does he know we live? I'm hereI'm Chris Rhys Jones.

CHEERING -- Griff Rhys Jones. Wellcome,

Griff. You have a moustache. What do you think? Nothing miserly about my

moustache. Don't break it, that's the most important thing. It's so

big. When it came out, I was surprised myself. This is the genius

of wax bust years ago, I used to grow them when I was in a ie you

like having my own moustache. Nothing more embarrassing than you

gesture and you asked stuck on moustache flies off. Ever since

then, I've grown my own moustache. Getting hold of the right wax was a

problem, but with the hipster beard, everybody, they sell it on every

street corner, moustache wax. We are talking about macro. That's how

stingy are you, on a scale of one to ten? Asked we're talking about The

Miser. I'm stingy as the next man. One-man's miser is another man's

astute saver. Tonight, we want to name and shame and celebrate anybody

you know who is obsessed with saving money. Perhaps you've got a stingy

sister, or penny wise pal, the type of person who makes their own

popcorn and takes into the cinema to take Webber save money. How did you

know I did that? We've heard all your secrets. Send us a photo and

the reason they are such a skinflint and we'll show some of them later

on. Griff, you can judge it, miser of the week. Can I keep this torch?

On a scale of one to ten, we are up there. Any miser out Blair will

enjoy this film, it's all about this, money, specifically the ?1

coin. One in every 30 is actually fake, did you know? In an effort to

combat this the Royal Mint is producing what they claim will be

the most secure coin in the world. We sent Raphael Rowe to find out

more. Next month, our familiar round ?1

coins are being replaced by a new, edgier version. Right now they are

turning out 2000 coins a minute ready to go into circulation in

March. And The One Show has been granted exclusive behind-the-scenes

access to film here, at the Royal Mint. In total, they are producing

over 1.5 billion coins, with each one intricately designed. This

brand-new ?1 coin is being billed as the most secure in the world. But

why don't to all this effort now? Adam Lawrence is CEO at the Royal

Mint. The primary reason we are introducing new ?1 coins is to

tackle counterfeiting. We have over 45 million counterfeit in regulation

and we can't avoid a loss in confidence in the currency, so this

is an issue we must grasp. The chief engraver is responsible for the

features. It's made of two colours. Unlike the previous ?1 coins, it

shapes, it has 12 sides. On the edges we have milling, lines down

one face, and the next phase is plain. We have a hologram, so you

can see a ?1 fine in one direction and the number one in another

direction. The features we are bringing to the table has never been

done before, so I don't think it's going to be possible to counterfeit

this coin. We have a coin for the 20 firsts and it, we are ahead of the

game now. It's an impressive new coin but the changeover will come at

a cost. Some councils say they are forking out as much as ?30,000 of

taxpayers' money to adapt parking and vending machines. If counterfeit

coins are such a problem, how likely are ideal to have one in your

wallet? To find out, we've withdrawn ?1000 worth of ?1 coins from the

bank. In 30 are estimated to be fake, we should get at least 33

coins from this case but not real. We've come here, where they've got a

special machine to test out coins. Andy Brown runs a company where they

test and fix machines designed to accept pound coins. They've already

adapted over 10,000 parking meters to fit the new coin. But today, he's

going to analyse our ?1000 and find out how many are fake. Show me how

this machines works. Let me take some of your coins. What we need to

do is pile them into the top of the hopper. It will spin round. Put the

coins through, and we will see if they are counterfeit or not. And we

don't have to wait for long. There you go. We have a fake. Let me look

at this. So how does this coin differ from this coin? Compare the

designs. On the front, they look identical. If you turn them on the

back and look at the picture of the Queen's head, it's totally

different. This has come from a bank, so a bank could be giving

people... There's another one, another one has come out. I'm really

excited. ?1000 coins came from the bank, so they could beginning an

innocent bystander fake coins. I'm going to let you carry on putting

the rest of these coins in and let's see how many we get. Whilst we wait

for the results, we go to the local cafe. How many others are

unknowingly carrying counterfeit cash? Your money is good. Your first

coin was a fake. How does it make you feel? A bit annoyed, someone has

made them and given them out for nothing. They are so similar. I

understand notes, but how do you make a fake coin? What about our

1000 coins? We have run the coins through the machine. We found 19

fake coins. Even the machine can't spot some of the latest, most

sophisticated fakes. He also gives every coin a close visual

inspection, looking for tell-tale inaccuracies. Two, four, 13, 14...

Visually found. So 33, out of 1000, so it kind of hits the mark of one

in every 30, in circulation, is fake. Yes. Amazing. I didn't know

lots of vending machines and parking meters have those counterfeit

checkers in them. It answers that query off when you put coins in and

they come out the other end. Griff, would you pick a coin Flores, follow

your instincts, don't worry about using too much, we will find out if

you have picked a fake one. Any coin, I will say that one is the

fakes. You want the real one. You want the real one. Spend it later. A

present for you later, hopefully, assuming you've picked the right

one. Oh, I see, we're not going to find out? Later on! Let's get down

to business. Do you want to find out now? I'm just... I'm kissing it as

well! You are like me, with a parking meter, trying to make it

work! What are the important dates? The first date is the 28th of March,

that's when the new snazzy 12 sided coin comes out. It will be

officially in circulation and will be used as legal tender. LB a

six-month coast regulation period, where it runs alongside the old

coins and on October 16, the old coin will no longer be accepted in

shops -- there will be a six-month regulation period where both can be

used. Was about the ?5? There's an easy date to remember, the five of

the five, the old fivers won't be no more. If you hide all fivers kicking

around, you can take them to the bank or post office. In the roll-out

of currency, we are used to it running smoothly, but it doesn't

always go that way. It has to be controlled. We covered this, in

India last year, in November, they said overnight, the Prime Minister

announced, no more 501,000 rupee notes. He took them out over one

day. Everyone panics. -- no more 500 rupee or 1000 rupee notes. There was

1 billion people trying to get their notes changed into smaller notes.

That's not been done very well. Subsequently, about one third of

those notes have been replaced with smaller notes, but they are still

missing so many notes and there's not enough notes in circulation in

India because of that. It's a nightmare. But we are doing it

properly here, nicely. It's a moment of truth. It's happening right now.

This is it. Did you pick the real one, or the fake one? Drop it in.

Just there. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

There is showing this! There is showing this! My huge collection of

nearly 100 of them... Add it to the jar. If you want any advice on how

to spot a fake coin, we will put some tips on the Royal Mint on our

website. While Griff Distin -- decides what he will spend his shiny

new ?1 on, it's time for Anita Rani to introduce you to a remarkable

woman in Belfast, helping to change lives, down to the wonder Ross wig.

Hair matters. For men, a full head of hair is seen as a sign of

virility, and for women, many see it as an intrinsic part of femininity.

That's why for millions of people in the UK facing unwanted hair loss can

be a very traumatic experience. Far from being an exclusively male

problem, it may come as a surprise that according to the NHS, an

estimated 8 million women in Britain are affected by hair loss. It was

this high demand and lack of supply that inspired to raise Hughes to get

into the wig business. She owns the longest running boutique of its kind

in Northern Ireland and over the years she's become a familiar face

to countless families. So how do you go from having hairdressing salon to

them being this, the Queen of wigs? Women were coming in with thin hair,

so thin you couldn't blow dry it and I thought, this needs to be

addressed. It's something I can do, I can make a difference. She has

travelled the globe learning her craft in order to suit the needs of

any client. Her dedication has earned her an MBE. . Clients come

with a variety of needs and desires. 19-year-old Jordan has alopecia. It

comes and goes. It's not for me. How do you feel when you haven't got the

wig on? This is me, I have my outside me, the social me, they are

two different things. What's the experience like? Coming into a sweet

shop, you see everything you like and pick your favourite one. It's a

happy experience, one that makes you feel normal. She's like your fairy

hairy godmother! Many of Terese's clients are going through

chemotherapy, like 22-year-old Jess, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin's

lymphoma. The side-effects of treatment means she would lose hair.

Hair is everything. I would always get my friends to let me do their

hair, dying cover cutting, everything, and I would always do my

own hair, so many different colours. It's always been something I played

about with an something that my friends have seen me for. Can I see?

Yes. So still have their, but it's not my hair -- there is still hair

there. How long was it? What are you looking for? You're blonde wig is

gorgeous. Something different, just to switch it up. And in Terese's wig

shop, you can become whoever you want to be. Honestly, you look

amazing. What do you think? I'm sold. It's amazing what hair can do.

I think this is the one. I'm excited to play about with it. I'm

concentrating on the people who need me and the people who need me, need

me. It's such an important thing, your hair. Externally, we are all

external. It's what we see on the outside. That's the bit people see.

It's important for them. Terese is working on one of the most loyal

customers, who has a very different reason for needing a wig. It's still

you, you look like you. How hard has it been for the moment you came out

as trams? You don't know what to leave the house, you don't know if

you can get a pint of milk or something -- you came out as trans.

You stand on your door, you get to the door and run all the way to the

house and by the third time you have the confidence to go in and do it

because if you don't, you will never have the confidence to do it.

Putting on a wig, does it boosts your confidence? It does, it's like

getting ready for battle. You can face the world. How do you feel?

Beautiful, I'm a fussy woman! Aren't we all!

I was really happy that Jess picked the red wig. And Griff, you are no

stranger to a wig. We have some pictures here. Also the Fagan wig in

Oliver, another spectacular one. You shake your head for this one. And I

will shave my head for this one. We are wig plastic all the way through,

and it starts with mere using my son -- we are wig =tastic all the way

through. I thought I do not want to wear a bald wig and then another

one. When will you shave it? As late as possible, surprise myself. What

we are talking about is Moliere's The Miser, classic French farce,

ludicrously complex. It's sort of like the Marx Brothers meets air

plane. Whatever we were expecting about this was just not that it

would be such an hilarious play. It has every conceivable form of

slapstick, of low jokes, it is real crude comedy. It's tradition

stretches back into pantomime. It has been hilarious to do, and great

to do it with comedians. We're doing it with Matt and Lee. You are right

there, and Lee is discovering jokes all the time. Every time your thing,

surely this is the bit, because the miser has money on string which he

keeps paying to people, and as they go out the door committee polls the

strength and pulls the money back. -- they go out the door, he pulls

the strings and pulls the money back. You say it is very relevant to

today, that it first started out in 1668. Yes, but the whole story is

really about our family split up because dad is extremely rich and

has buried his money in the greenhouse under the tomatoes, and

the rest of the family are trying to get hold of it, is it is a family

comedy. He spends his time Rowling with his son about the money. I felt

for the man. When they sent it to me, they said, Griff, it will be

difficult to play because he is a really terrible character, this man,

and the audience will find it difficult. I read it going, no, I

sympathise with him. I see is point of view. The bank is losing his

money, he feels that everybody is just trying to get hold of his cash

and so he needs to look after it, as we all go. How have rehearsals been

with the? Does it feel like chaos? We have had him -- with Lee. We have

had them on the show. It is like strictly come dancing. You have to

get the moves and get them on cue. Only yesterday, there was a moment

where I had fallen over backwards, then we were rehearsing a fight and

he opens the door, and I'm running in, and we go like that... I fall in

the fire. I leap up and bang into the wall, and a ball's head falls

off the wall on my head, then I fall forward, put my hand up to support

myself and crash. They said, have you hurt yourself? I said yes, and

they said, good. The Miser starts at the Garrick Theatre in London's West

End shortly. Our next guest is an expert in

capturing Sunrises. He can take those spectacular snaps on his way

home from work, he has such a great job.

I am a train driver at the depot for a living, and at night, I am a

landscape photographer. Last train of the night, Kevin, what is the

plan? We will take it through the wash. Ready to proceed? We do an

important job here, and to know that a train is leaving in the morning

and people will be able to travel safely and -- travel safely and get

to their destination on time is a big satisfaction. The hardest part

of the job is probably the long-term effect that shift work has on you. I

am taking the train through the wash at the moment, ready to go back into

service is nice and clean. When the trains come to the depot after being

in service, ARN tea and quiet, and it's much like when I am out taking

photos on my own. You just hear the slight hum of the air conditioning

units, and it is a bit like being out in the wild. The oh -- over

time, my colleagues have seen my photos and been impressed, and that

spurs me on, in our way. -- in a way. This job allows me to live my

life in a more flexible way and to do photography alongside it. With

the Sunrise being just after seven, there should be plenty of time. I

will have the camera all set up ready for the sunrise this morning.

I love photography and I love being able to go out after work and catch

the sunrise. I am willing to walk miles to get to the location I want.

The foreground is as important as the sky. This castle doesn't

disappoint. You have to have a lot of patients to be able to set up

your short ready for sunrise. I find it cathartic and it is like my

nirvana, being in the wild. The landscape is a blank canvas and it

is down to you how you choose to capture it. There is a bank of cloud

which is slowly disappearing. I am hopeful the sun will burst through

that. It is never the same Sunrise or the same sky. Often, you are the

only one to see it. -- sunrise. All the effort to get here, I can go

home now. So humble, isn't he? And ever so talented. Which is your

favourite? The one where he has got the steam rising off the sea and all

those stars, like the Milky Way. I feel for him because I have recently

gone on Instagram. Everyone who is on there, we have all become

photographers in a way that we want before. That is a real achievement

because I know how difficult it is to make a good photograph. I will

give you his number and you can call him for tips. Now, if you are not a

big fan of mice, bear with us because in our next film, Ben, our

biologist, promises to make you see them in a whole new light.

Have you ever wondered what makes house mice so elusive? Having

managed to squeeze through impossible gaps that are seemingly

smaller than the mice themselves. -- how they manage. It is like me being

able to fit my entire body through this frisbee. The secret is its

unique anatomy. I am meeting with an old colleague of mine, a mammal

expert, Doctor Nick. We will see if a house mouse can squeeze through a

gap of just one centimetre. Hello, Nick. Who do we have here? Well,

this is Ben, the mouse, who will be helping us out today. In this is the

challenge you have set him? Yaw yes, this is the apparatus. We will start

Ben on one side, leave a little tasty treat on the other and we will

see if he can sneak through this gap we have set up. Now, it is a waiting

game. He tested it with his head to see if

it could fit through. Is it too small? He has got his head through,

and just squeezing the rest of his body through. Wow! Let's look at

that in slow motion. To start with, he seems so much bigger than the

whole. But that won't stop him. When the head goes under, his whole body

just seems to squash. Key squeeze through. It is incredible. How does

Benji know he won't get stuck? Benji was using his whiskers. Unlike us,

his eyesight is quite poor, so they rely a lot on the sense of patch.

The amount of their brain that is concerned with receiving signals

from their whiskers is actually bigger than the amount concerned

with receiving signals from their paws. Which makes sense if you are

getting into the world knows first. How does he actually squeeze

through? To understand the secret, we need to look inside his body to

see how this guy works. Incredibly, that is now possible with this, a

flora scope. We have all seen x-ray photographs, but this machine

captures x-rays as moving images. You can see here, the head is the

biggest part of the anatomy, and when it has squeezed through, the

rest goes through seamlessly. Unlike us with our big shoulders and

smaller heads, a mouse had their head as the widest part. The

shoulder and everything else is narrower, and that is the secret

that allows it to squeeze through such tiny gaps. How will the mouse

cope with an obstacle course in a confined space. This will really

test is agility? No problem. He made it look easy. What's really clear

from this video x-ray is the snakelike flexibility of the little

mouth's spine Rostock and this is very different from our spines work.

-- the little mouse's spine. He has interconnecting vertebrae that allow

this movement. It is amazing with this technology to see how the

inside of a mouse works. It is not hard to imagine how these animals

can find their way into every knock and cranny inside our homes. --

every now and cranny dart-mac we have a little set of stairs coming

up to our kitchen. I looked over, and there was a mouse coming up. It

just walked across the kitchen casually like this. But the amazing

thing was, it came up the stairs. Everything has got to live. That's

what your mum says! It is! Julia says a relation of hers only uses

the toilet at worked as a paper. John 's wife Boyle is a kettle in

the morning and fills a glass with water to keep her in it for the rest

of the day. That's all we've got time for tonight. A big thank you to

Griff Rhys Jones. The Miser opens on March 1st

at the Garrick Theatre in London. I'm back tomorrow at seven

with John Richardson. Tracey Ullman is on the sofa,

and we have a very special To break someone physically...

MAN YELLS But we will see how

you are strong psychologically.
