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

With us a man who starred in one of the most popular films of all time.

Everything is new # And all I have learned has overturned # I beg of

you # There's something in the air tonight, his stars are brand it's...

Dominic Cooper. You were wincing there, head in hands. It is so out

of tune. You looked great. That is the most important thing. How did

it feel with the singing? I didn't believe I could do it. I had no

confidence in singing, let alone in a musical film. Then I went to see

the show and I thought they have chosen the wrong person. I was

terrified. But it was good fun. was a high note and you hit it.

think Pierce Brosnan was more out of tune. Well he boosted hi

confidence. Dock nick has a film out and he will tell us about that

later. We had a great response from the film on litter in Hyde Park.

Here is what happened when the park stopped picking up litter for two

days. Half a tonne was collected in two days. In a corner of the park.

We're not going to let this go. Litter is a big problem. We looked

for a community in need of help to sort out their streets. We found

one in Blackburn. Didn't we? this is the Wally Range area. They

have been complaining about a terrible litter problem for as long

as they can remember. This is what this street looked like earlier.

Filthy, covered in rubbish, wasn't it? Later you can see how the local

community got together and cleaned this a place up. Great. Dominic

what do you think of litter? Michael Crawford's daughter hate

everyone who drops litter. despice it I once tried to do

something, and learned not, by throwing something back through a

car window that came out of it and six large people got out and I ran

for my life. Did you knock somebody? They were throwing, this

stuff was pouring out, chicken bones and cups. But some people

don't think about the environment and maybe it doesn't affect some

people. But it maybes me feel ill. We will be back later. We make

choice each day, but some choices are life changing. Wendy Robins has

been documenting some of those big choices. We meets a woman who Derby

who at 15 made a choice that would define her forever. I'm Jasvinder

Sanghera, I was born in Britain and went to school in Britain. When I

was 15 I said no the to an arranged marriage. I ran away from home and

that decision affected by life and the lives of my three children

forever. Jasvinder Sanghera grew up in a Sikh family in Derby. Arranged

marriages war common tradition and when she was 14, her parents told

her they had found her a husband from India. Tell me about when you

were shown that photograph of your husband to be? I was a normal kid

who came home from school one day and my mother sat me down and

presented me with a photograph. I said, mum, I don't want to marry

this person. She left it at that and put the photograph on the

mantle Pooh she would say this is your future husband. The pressure

mounted when I was 15 and a half. My mother would say you will go

through with this. That is when I started to say no. And my mother

took me out of school and I was locked in a room at home. The thing

was I had seen it happen to my sisters. They would say you're in a

-- you're no different to us. did you escape. I saw an

opportunity. The door was open and I just ran. She escaped with the

help of her best friend's brother and the two fled to Newcastle. She

h hid -- she hid on the floor of the car until she saw the Tyne

bridge. Over night I had lost everyone I had known and loved. I

would come and walk around and look over the bridge and think, well if

I throw myself in, who will miss me? After months in hiding, a

police officer persuaded her to contact her family. My mother's

response was shocking. It was, you stay where you are. Unless you want

to come home, marry who we say. Otherwise you are now dead in our

eyes. She spent even -- ve seven years as an outcast. Tell me about

your sister. She suffered horrific domestic violence. We used to have

a relationship in secret and she would tell me that she is suffering

violence. I would say tell mum and dad. She did, but they sent her

back and said it is your duty to make this marriage work, because of

our honour. My sister, 24, she had a little boy of five. She set

herself on fire and suffered over 90% burns and died. Jasvinder

Sanghera set up Karma Nirvana, a charity for victims of abused and

forced marriages. Give me an idea of the calls you receive here.

Today we have had a teacher call about a 14-year-old girl. We

rescued a victim of a forced marriage. We receive over 400 calls

a month. The biggest achievement has to be that we're saving lives.

Although Jasvinder Sanghera sent her photographs, they never forgave

her and in their eyes, bringing shame on the family. When my father

died. I went to the house and in the corner of his room on the wall

there was my photograph. And I thought, you know dad, in death,

you say a thousand things to me. But you could never say them when

you're alive. I think what a waste. All these years later, Jasvinder

Sanghera still has no relationship with the family. Her eldest

daughter is getting married soon, but there with no one from at the

wedding from her family. A sad decision of -- a sad consequence of

a decision taken 30 years ago. decision has given her a university

education, independence trgs right to choose who she wants to marry.

I'm proud of my mum for making that decision and doing that and being

the person that she is now. only a big choice but a huge

sacrifice. She is here us with. We can see from the film, 30 years on,

it is still hard to come to terms with what your decision. How often

do you think about that moment? You say that open door and you ran

through it. The decision I made when I was 15 is a decision that

stays with me every day of my life. It impacts on me, my children. They

also disowned. I see my family who physically cross the road and

ignore me. So it never leaves you. Are you in contact with any members

of your family? Only one member of my family talks to me. My new book

took me on a journey to find my sister. Who I had never met. In

India. It was a new door and I have a sister born and raised in India

that accepts me for who and what I stand for. Yet, those born here in

the UK don't. What about your own children, do they keep in contact

with your children? No, my children, my daughter is getting married and

no member of my family will be there. Bar the one person that

speaks to me. You still feel you made the right decision? Yes. One

thing I didn't know when I was 15 when I was making that decision I

was making it for my children in the future. There are successful

arranged mairns. Re-- Successful arranged marriages. But if people

are forced, what advice would you give them. There is help available

and there is no reason for anyone born here to go through with a

forced marriage. It is difficult, because this is your family doing

it to you. I understand that. But I am proof you can do it. Call the

help line, in confidence and find out. Tell somebody you trust.

much of a problem is this in Britain? What the Government tell

us is that we're dealing with the tip of the iceberg, but there are

hundreds of people at risk. Thank you. And for that lovely film as

well. Miranda Krestovnikoff is used to working with bald men on this

show. There are our fine fellas. she was at home caring for this

patients at Tiggywinkles Animal Rescue Centre in Buckinghamshire.

The aim of rescue centres is to get animals back in the wild. But

sometimes that just isn't possible. Some patients will never leave

Tiggywinkles's doors. Including a special ledge hog that we featured

a couple of years ago. -- hedgehog. There he is. You can see why he has

the name Spud. Hedgehogs usually have thousands of hairs. But Spud

only has 20. He is so retracted. When we first met him they thought

they may have found a solution. But he is still as bald as can. After

his five minutes of fail fame, there were suggestion. People send

us in wigs made of cactus, they wanted us to rub tomatoes. Somebody

said to urinate on him. But we didn't try that. We have just made

him as comfortable as possible. Butless not alone. He has a couple

of -- but he is not alone. He has a couple of housemates with a similar

problem. We have a naked squirrel. If he has not got hair growth,

there might be problems with hair and nails. We have to keep a check

on him. To do that, we have got to catch him. Squirrels have double

jointed hind legs and sharp claws. He may be bald, but there is

We have got him. You get bald people, so you get bald anything.

His skin is in good condition. He is not itching or sore. You can see

his teeth. They're huge. But they all even. The teeth grow all the

time. His teeth and nails are fine. Yes I'm happy. I will leave him

with you. He doesn't want to let go of your finger. One, two, three. It

doesn't mat Fer they are bald they welcome here. As they can't protect

themselves from the cold, they will live out their days here. But most

other animals can be released. With some help. A lot of young animals

get separated from their mothers a t this time of year. But there is

help at hand with specially trained foster parents here. Jack's -- jack

is one of them. She has been looking after a couple of baby hare

is. They are born fully furred and mum usually just comes to see them

once a day. So they have to fend for themselves from the start. They

are hiding. In the wild they don't have a nest. Just a hollow in the

ground. He has disappeared! Warm up his milk. In the wild they put into

separate forps by the mother to to avoid the entire litter being lost.

Although they are independent after birth, it takes up to five weeks to

be fully weaned. That is his last feed. Yes. Are two hares are eight

week ole and are ready to go. The first one can't wait. There he goes.

Brilliant. That is superb. It is really nice. The second is more

reluctant, but he soon gets his bearings. I thought he may have a

good look around. First. Great. is happy. He will make a new home

for himself. Let's go. Let's go to the pub I think. Well deserved.

Tomorrow the bird caught up in netting gets a taste of freedom and

That heron, because of that heron we have been talking about

haemorrhoids. I didn't hear the end. It's on the wing. Not the bags

under the eyes, that's what I use it for. You have a brand new film

Devil's Double. You play the son of Saddam Hussein and Lateef who is

forced to become his body double. Look, look. Look at me. We could be

twins, no? You are taller. much? This much? Didn't they used

to say that you looked like Uday Hussein? I want you. I want you to

be my double. I want you to be my brother.

APPLAUSE You are very convincing as both

characters. For the majority of the film you are acting alongside

yourself weirdly. How difficult was that and how did they achieve it,

because it's so realistic? Various methods, but ultimately without

wanting to glaze over and get bored, but it was about getting - I was

Uday and then the camera would make a move and I would run off and step

into the Lateef outfit and run back on with an ear piece listening to

the scene of me, so I was reacting and responding to no-one in the

physical space and also have to second guess the performance of

Lateef while I was place Uday, not knowing what I would do in the

scene. It wasn't about staying in one crack fer for long periods of

time, because of the lack of time that we had. Jumping between the

two and trying to get into the head space of two ultimately

extraordinarily different men. saw it quite early in the morning,

which was - it is graphic and violent. But it's based completely

on a true story. It is. We have for the benefit of an audience,

manipulated it in a certain way and used elements of the story and also

taken out some, because it's from a book by Lateef, who escaped from

the regime and managed to get away, but also for my benefit it was very

helpful to take an essence and learn about them and make two very,

very different characters, so an audience hopefully is aware of who

they are watching at any given moment, otherwise it becomes very

complicated. Was he on set, Lateef? He was. He came occasionally and I

spoke to him at length in the beginning, but once I realised we

weren't making a descriptive account of the situation, I found

it quite difficult or daunting him being there. I bet. I wondered if I

was getting it right or how involved he is in it. It's recent,

if you think about it. Didn't he say that you got 95% of the

character spot on and there's the missing 5%? I'm not sure what that

is! Essentially it didn't matter a great deal, because it was the

creation of two characters rather than impersonating those those

people were. Your mum came along? She did. I was worried about her

seeing the scenes of vitence or me being brutal to myself. The story

is completely cap vaiting. When I heard read about it and knowing so

little and having that part of the world be so present in my life

growing up, I felt quite guilty not knowing nearly enough about it or

the people within it or that regime. It is a superb film. Quickly, going

back to Mamma Mia. Millions of people love it. Could there be

another? Will you sing better? don't know. Possibly worse. I do

always ask. Anything for a holiday in Greece. I've heard nothing, but

maybe they have and I haven't. That would be even worse! Thank you. The

film is out on 12th August. The number of times you come across

floral tributes is a reminder of how many lose their lives to

traffic accidents, but many councils are now clearing them away

against family wishes, saying they are a distraction to drivers.

Between between We meet a mum from Manchester determined to keep her

daughter's memory alive. Are you offended by this? Do you find the

flowers a dangerous distraction when you are driving? Is this road-

side rubbish or a poignant reminder that a life has been lost? Whatever

your thoughts, these home-made memorials are becoming more and

more common. Nothing wrong with that, but many would disagree. Many

councils have dranded -- branded them a hazard. Authorities are

clamping down, setting time limits and removing them completely, even

against the wishes of grieving relatives. Six years ago Marie's

daughter was killed when the car she was travelling in collided with

a taxi mini bus. The tribute that appeared hours later has always

given her family comfort. All my friends and everything had left

flowers. It was covered. There were light and candles. There were holy

pictures. Everything here. Beautiful. What was that like when

you saw it? It gave me great comfort. It did give me a bit of

comfort at the time. After a few weeks when the flowers died and

everything was shifted, then we just set up the tree.

Manchester City Council, in common with others across the UK, has a

policy of removing memorials. council a long time before shifted

it one night at 4.30am. How did that make you feel? It felt like

that they had just ripped my heart out. I said to the council, what

kind of men that it took three men to come and shift something like

this? Have they got no hearts? They must have known that it meant

something to somebody. How could they do it? What was the explain

that they gave you? Why did they say it had to be moved? They said

it was a distraction and at the time there was a big advertisement

up on the railing behind us and I said that's a bigger distraction.

What evidence is there to say tributes are dangerous? Well, Road

Peace the charity for victims says there isn't any and we have only

been able to find one incidence in 2007 when a driver overtaking on

the wrong side of a road ploughed into a group who were looking at a

memorial. Surely a billboard like that is more distracting?

Manchester City Council says not only are the tributes distracting,

but they can be upsetting. That view is shared in nearby Bolton.

have had quite a lot of feedback from our residents and individual

members of the public, saying that these tributes actually are

upsetting them, because they do a number of things. Some families see

them tied to their fences for years and years and they actually wither

and die and then the family comes back again. The - we were

responding to what the public wanted. Some councils, including

Bolton and Manchester, have put up permanent memorials, but do people

agree with the removal of personal tributes? They are not doing any

harm. It's not hurting anyone. I think they should be allowed to

have them there as long as they want. They are perfectly acceptable

and probably help the people who are grieving, but I don't like to

see them if there are there a long time. There should be a limit

liement. It's a tribute to people - - limit -- time limit. It's a

tribute to the people. If the flowers are there rotting it looks

a mess. I think they are appropriate and they are OK.

There's not a problem. Back at the memorial, I met an academic who has

been studying the tributes for over two decades. When did road-side

memorials become common in country? -- in this country? The last 25

years. What has happened is they've become so open now and everyone

sees them and it's becoming part of the mourning culture. We don't have

structured practises about how to mourn, so no-one comes to tell you,

"I want to dress in black and wear an armband." We don't get that any

more. You are left to do your own mourning. This is from the people.

You know what you want to do and you can do it immediately and

because of all the meaning and the emotional ownership that you gain

by doing this action, that is the important thing. It's led by the

people and anyone can do it. You don't have to be rich or famous.

Anyone can do it. I find those tributes incredibly sobering and

they are better than speed cameras. You drive along and you think this

is obviously a hotspot? I agree. They always make me slow down and

think twice about how unbelievably dangerous the vehicles are and I

totally agree with that lady there about the mourning process that we

have. It's a local space and it's for the public. Exactly. Well, it's

time to go back to the Whalley Range area of Blackburn, where the

locals have been hard at work cleaning up the streets and Anita

has been getting her hands dirty. I've been getting them dirty. The

sight was depressing, but cleaning it all up, the bag here, was

uplifting. The entire community came out. Here's how the One Show

Litter Army got on. This is the Whalley Range area of Blackburn.

The people have been mistaking it for a rubbish bin. It's got so bad

with some locals even spotting rodents, but things are about to

change, because I've been armed with a megaphone and the Litter

Army. You've got the T-shirts and bag and gloves. Are you ready to

clean your filthy streets? Then disperse! Well done, everybody. You

are doing a great job. People have take-aways and they are stopping

the car and pulling over and throwing it away. This is an issue

and problem and we need to collectively sort it out and today

has shown that we can sort it if we All this litter, which you can see

in front of me, has come out of the bushes, which have been cut back

and it doesn't belong on the streets, so let's get it cleaned up.

Guys. Well, the place now looks spotless and I know it's Ramadan,

so extra special that people took the time to come out whilst

everyone is fasting, but you live here. Why have you allowed it to

get so mucky? General attitudes and people have been lazy. We should

really wake up and start cleaning our own areas and take the

responsibility. Absolutely. I hope we have started that. Are you going

to throw litter from now on, guys? Right answer. Waive trained them

well. Look. This is how much litter we have been picking up. Three

trucks. The last bag going in. There it goes. Two very important

people to speak to before we wrap this whole thing up. We have Jean

who is from the Housing Association. You have responsible for a couple

of streets which are really filthy. How are you going to keep on top of

this? We intend to continue to work with the communities and young

people and with the agencies to combat what is a national problem.

Councillor, the people are cleaning their streets and they pay their

council tax. Isn't it the council's responsibility to do something as

well? The council are doing their bit. I think collectively we need

to work together, just like today, the community has shown the spirit

and the community and the organisations all working together.

It's all happening. They are all coming together. It's time to get

you out of the way so we are going to get rid of this rubbish. It's

going to the dump! Brilliant stuff. We have had loads of responses.

Loads of them in. Little Eddie there. Aged nine. He's been picking
