04/01/2017 The One Show

# Bring out the best in me # Bring out the best in me

# My heart beats to a Hello and welcome to the One Show,

with Alex Jones... They are Britain's most successful

country band ever, the Shires, and they are here to help us

celebrate our first is very much so. Let's get rooted

into night's programme, because all the experts say that this year is

going to be momentous in terms of politics and world events, but what

do they know? Who could have guessed

what would happen last year? So what do the next 12 months really

have in store for all of us? Getting married, getting a house...

Congratulations on all that. Good luck with it. Let's have a word over

here. There's been a lot of anticipation about your story. I

would just like to open my shared house in Camberwell for refugees to

stay. What a wonderful thought. And how about you? Are you friends?

Yeah, but mine is a bit less good. Mine is to learn to ride a bike

finally, properly. We might have a film coming up to help you with

that, so stay tuned. We'll be chewing over the bigger

questions with the help of three voices from the worlds of business,

politics and journalism. Let's say a very warm welcome to

James, James and Julie! APPLAUSE

Because we want to hear from all of you at home tonight as well.

Britain - what are your thoughts, hopes, and predictions

And how will they compare to our panel's predictions?

Let us know by emailing us at [email protected]

Also joining us a comedy star who, when we asked him to describe 2016

in three words said, "could do better"!

So let's find out what the new year holds for him -

Hello! Hello. Four experts on the sofa this evening. The fourth

expert... I'm so pleased that you said you are pregnant because I

would note have that to be fair, we've had some awkward

few moments with guests on wondering. O'Connor you look well...

So, 4th of January today, how is 2017 shaping up so far? Very early

days and so far. It's been an exceptional 2017 so far! I've

started a health kick, joining the gym tonight. Looking good! I'm

jogging home this evening. Good for you. You will not be jogging to your

stand-up tour! But we will talk about that individual while, as we

will also talk about the period drama you will be starring in.

Exciting times. But what other big events do we know

will happen this year? Over to Gyles with his guide

to the first six months of 2017. If you were looking for just one

word to describe 2017, dull would not be it. It's going to be a big

year with some big politics, some big movies, some fond farewells and

some exciting hellos. January sees us say Hail to the new chief as

Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. With

so little expected of him by some on this side of the pond, will he

really turn out to be as bad as they think? His real concern before the

real work begins is, who's going to play at his inauguration? Any

takers? In March we will say goodbye to the old ?1 coin and hello to the

new very difficult to forge 12 sided coin. What will the new pound in

your piggy bank be worth? Why the end of March the dithering over

Article 50 has to stop and that may or may not have a turbulence effect

on sterling. With the two-year exit clock then ticking down to zero,

Theresa May must have a few things up her sleeve is she is to deliver

the best for the nation. Also the final farewell to cigarette

branding. From the 21st, all fag packets will look the same, plane.

And where there's smoke, there is fire. France could be next to

surprise the establishment as Marine Le Pen and her populist party --

right wing party attempt to ride the populist wave. If it sounds like you

to be a series of unfortunate events, the new Netflix blockbuster

is almost here. Expect a cushion of comfort viewing from the TV powers

that be. In cinema, there is the live action version of beauty and

the beast and come Valentine's Day, the new Fifty Shades Of Grey movie

to look forward to. Also lots of wrong! You will be

watching that from the comfort of your sofa, won't you? Exactly, yeah!

Our predictions panel have joined Jack on the sofa.

Businesswoman of the Year winner and construction company boss

Julie White, who says 2016 was "travel, collaboration and Brexit".

Conservative MP James Cleverly, who spent last year campaigning

for Brexit and says 2016 was "Theresa, Brexit and Olympics".

Of course, the Olympics, good point. So, Brexit will kick off in earnest

in March. Over Christmas, did you have arguments around the table

about Brexit? Julie, I think you did in your house? I did my own Brexit

and left for Christmas! Acres it got so bad? No, but we are quite divided

in our family and probably age group divided as well, we have had some

very heated conversations. But I think we can all meet. I presume

yours is a business family? That's right, I did a management

buyout for my family business and we are very different in our views and

it's been amazing. It's been amazing to see other business people that I

know how they have voted. I thought people would vote the way they did

and they have voted completely different. It's been a real

eye-opener, Brexit. James Connor what about your Christmas? A lot of

talking and broadcasting? I'm not allowed to argue an air -- I'm not

allowed to argue there, I'd do it on the radio! Sometimes you can win

arguments even if you're wrong because you've got the right

tactics! Looking ahead into 2017, are you going to stop Bremoaning?

That kind of sums it up, doesn't it? The morning after winning, some of

the people who one just tried to think of a rude word for the people

who just lost. That sums up the rancorous way of it. Why did the man

who was supposed to be leading our entourage into Brussels have to

resign because he didn't know what was going on? I then see it as

Bremoaning?, I see it as asking pertinent questions, Matt!

James Cleverley, the country felt angry

You must have felt that in the letters and social media you were

reading at the time. How do you think we can put that right and make

that better for 2017 and try to have a sense of unity again? I think the

big thing in the immediate aftermath of the vote was, first it was a

surprise to a lot of people, even the people like myself who had

campaigned, and it was very tight and know one knew how it would go

right until the end so it was a big surprise. A massive

amounts of disappointment and many people campaigned passionately to

stay in and I think that manifested itself in both directions in things

that were said in haste and I think will be regretted in the long term.

But I think we've now started to bed in and there are legitimate

questions and James is right but there is a bit less uncertainty

everyday. We had a debate about it over Christmas and there were

passionate views on both sides during the debate and they are kind

of converging a bit. There's definitely a place where however you

campaign you can get to and be comfortable. There will be a period

of uncertainty as the negotiations go forward. What do you think is the

best that business people can hope for in this year when the goalposts

will be changing? It would be nice to have some kind of a direction, to

even have a timescale. What we can do in business, we can get on with

it. It's hard to have a direction, you can have focus and a period of

getting there... Is it going to be short, is it going to be long, is it

going to be hard, is it going to be soft? We all just don't know. You

have to hope that the Prime Minister knows. I just wonder why she's not

telling anyone else. Can I just say, I love how serious The One Show has

got! You'll have a discussion about garden peas and now it's turned into

Question Time! I love it! We've got see mice coming up. Thank God for

that, I was getting quite worried! I was like, where am I? More from our

panel in a moment and please keep sending us your 2017 predictions.

Now Gyles Brandreth is discussing seagulls! Not again, that was last

time! One thing for certain about 2017 is

that as ever, The One Show will be shining a light on the stories that

affect you, from big national issues to those right on your doorstep.

That includes the battle from people on a Sheffield Street and their

counsel that have caused arrests and many protests including a big one

today outside the town hall. Andy went to see how bad it all got.

It really is awful what they've done to it. 5am and Sheffield Council

contract is called in by police officers arrived to chop down eight

trees. The council says they are either diseased or making

pavements... Locals have been fighting for well over a year to

save them and as contractors moved income of three bleary eyed but

furious residents were arrested. To me, the pair of you don't look like

vigilantes, but tell us how you came to be arrested. There was a little

in closure put around the trunk of the tree, so I stood around that and

Frieda joined me. We were kept in separate cells for eight hours,

fingerprinted and we had the DNA swabs and then we were interviewed.

We were aware it carries a custodial sentence but it's a very daunting

prospect. The council had promised no trees would go. The panel said at

least five of the eight trees could stay but the council decided all of

them should go. So when was the report published? They didn't posted

until 30 minutes before they were hammering on my door. Sheffield

council has since said sorry and promised that in future no trees

will be cut down before 7am. One of the country's leading tree experts

has come to Sheffield to check out their troublesome trees. What kind

of problems can mature trees along a street like this cause? The main

problem will be damage to the surfacing and lifting up the

pavement and displacing the kerbstones. What can you do instead

of cutting down the tree? There are lots of flexible paving products you

can use to build over the roots and allow them to grow and move. This

tree was a among the eight to be axed but was saved by the

protesters. What is Jeremy Maclin plus expert opinion? Disruption on

this side of the pavement but it is minimal. This is all stuff,

technical solutions. We do have some curb displacement there but they

just take those out and then you've got another ten or 20 years growth

for the tree before it even starts to encroach on the highway. The

independent tree panel took the same view, yet the council, which had

promised to listen to the council's advice, ordered its destruction

anyway. As we don't know exactly which trees will be next, Jeremy

cast his expert eye over several currently in the council's sites.

Are there any trees here you think ought to be removed? None from a

health point of view, they are all OK and from a safety point of view

they are all fine. We've looked at every tree here and none of them

need to come out. This is contrary to government guidance and contrary

to the professional guidance set out by the chartered Institute of

highways and transport. It's just a shocking affair that really we have

to try to make sure doesn't happen anywhere else in the country. Time

to meet a counsellor. Bryan Lodge is overseeing the scheme. We've had an

internationally were allowed tree expert look at the trees around

Sheffield Ammon of the things he said is that these trees by and

large have still got an awful lot of life in them yet. What is the

necessity to cut those down? Nobody denies they have life in

them, nobody is saying they are unhealthy. But they are causing

damage to the pavements and highway. Let's look at the case of Rustlings

Road. Your independent report said the eight cut down... They were

healthy and not causing a problem but they were cut down nevertheless.

They caused problems to the pavement and highway. Did your report said

those five should be cut down? It didn't? The report suggested we

looked at an engineering solution and on the cost basis the council

does not have the funding to do these works. The truth of it is that

trees are being cut down in their thousands around Sheffield because

it is cheaper than maintaining them properly? No, we are replacing trees

across the city. There are 34000 Five Hundred St trees. By the end of

this contract period we will have moved up to 6000 but we are planting

more. Two months on and the unlikely protesters are waiting to hear if

they will face prosecution over their bids to keep the leaves

rustling on Rustlings Road. Andy saying people are waiting and there

is a lot going on in the area and the council have agreed to look

again at chopping down 23 trees planted in 1919 to honour the fallen

of world war -- World War I. If you bought a house on that beautiful

street with those trees, you would be disappointed. You will have to

question whether the pathways are that bad. Weirdly, Jack, you are in

Sheffield. We are back on! You are in Sheffield on the 15th as part of

your At Large tour. This is the eve of the tour tonight, kind of your

warm up. This is my warm up and then it starts. Are you excited, nervous?

Sheffield, I think that is the arena on an ice rink, which they cover up

for the show. They should leave it! Jack Whitehall on ice, that is the

dream. Have you been practising in the kitchen? All of that, writing it

out and pinning it on the wall like a serial killer and getting it into

my head. It is already to go. Tomorrow starts in Northampton and

my parents are coming to the first show. Is that nice? It is

nerve-racking because there are stuff about them in it. My dad is

coming with his friend, Nick, who lives in Northampton, and he bought

the tickets and invited my dad. Nick Hewer. You do not want him rolling

his eyes and jotting things down like he did on the Apprentice. There

are pyrotechnics. Comedy pyrotechnics. Are they different

from normal pyrotechnics? There is a big finale for the show 's wedding

gets into the reader and I would love to end every show with a

musical number and seeing, but I have a terrible voice and people

would hate it so I think outside the box and there is a big ending. You

arrived on a Segway in the last one. There were health and safety forms I

had to fill out to do it. It has not happened yet, but here are thoughts

on what you can possibly expect from one of Jack's performances. Some

farm in the airport, go to a fancy dress costume shop, hire a pilot's

outfit, realistic. Head to your local airport, sit in the bar and

get completely wasted. All the people around you losing their

minds! Where are you going? That is my one. I know a short cut, don't

worry. Very good. You said you have a tendency to over share and you are

indiscreet, which might be tricky with Nick and your parents in the

front row. Any early apologies you would like to make now? I will start

by apologising to everyone in the crowd. I do have a tendency to over

share and overstepped the mark, which is why you want to see it

live. Can we have an example? I normally over share, mess up if I go

off at a tangent, comedy without a safety net. I say something I should

not, but that is why it is great to watch people doing it live, because

you see mistakes you would not see on a TV show. The lovely idea of a

big performance and big crowds fits with this here because this is quite

extraordinary. What was this? That is the boys from a League of their

own. Jamie Redknapp broke a nail! He had to have an air ambulance and was

in intensive care for six weeks. We did a road trip to America this

year, sorry last year, it comes out this year later in the year. It was

so much fun. Jamie Redknapp, I should apologise to him because

there are jokes about him in the show. That is the apology done. The

tour At Large will start tomorrow in Northampton before heading around

the country. We enjoyed you playing Asterix. Thanks.

A New Year is always a chance for a new you,

and three of our One Show viewers have some very special reasons

why their lives will be transformed in 2017.

2017, my son is getting married. I thought it would be lovely if I

could hold onto my husband and dance. About five years ago, I had

just recovered from Hodgkin's lymphoma. I noticed things were

happening to my legs and I could not walk properly. I basically do not

work from the waist down. I learned that I can control the muscles

myself, and I got to flicker to and I kept staring at the tail and

suddenly it moved. And now I can walk with a walker. But one thing I

miss more than anything else is being close to my husband. It is

because of the height difference. We are always too busy. He is a man of

few words but I could tell by his face he was as emotional about it as

I would be and I imagine on the day it will be two people crying. 2017

will be huge because I am going to RADA. Ever since a young age, I

liked performing. I still do it now. I love entertaining children and

seeing them laugh. I wrote to RADA at 11 years old saying can I learn

how to act? They wrote back. They said they would be delighted to give

me an audition when I was 16 years old. Happy birthday! My father died.

My world turned upside down. It never happened. I was approached by

an old acquaintance who said about the course in London and within two

weeks I was in London at the audition, just like that. I did not

get it. I was devastated. I thought, I am not giving up, I will have

another go and the second time I went up, I got it. When I got to the

steps of RADA, I thought, oh, my goodness. I am actually here after

all these years. I am actually going to be living my life to the full. It

will be wonderful. Douglas was born profoundly deaf and added to that,

if that was not difficult enough, he was diagnosed with a condition that

is kind of verbal dyslexia. Things like health and safety, because of

his issues, he has not been able to land himself in a position. In 1970

I sat on the near Father Christmas who asked what I wanted for

Christmas and I said to him that it would be nice to have a new set of

ears for my brother because is do not work. Now he has had a cochlear

implant, which has opened up amazing things for him. I had my wish and it

has come true. I heard the sea. He can start to hear things and

hopefully he can progress into the job market and get a role he is

happy with it. 2017, I would like a job. Thanks. Remarkable. Thanks you

for sending in and sharing stories with us. The panel are back but in

the meantime we have had responses from you at home. We heard from

Angela in Scotland who predicts Donald Trump will resign before the

end of the year and she will put money on it. Mark and Zoe in Lincoln

predict the Queen will retire and Charles will take over. And Danny

Dyer! Somebody who says interest rates might go up. Mark and Zoe

think there will be a significant rise in electric and hybrid cars.

2016 was the year of the controversial boss such as Sir

Philip Green and Mike Ashley, how can employers be better in 2017? It

will be a difficult year. The uncertainty makes it difficult. We

can employ. I do not know how you feel about the media, they class

business is one, bonuses, the scandal with the banks, retail, but

small businesses, the majority are employed by small and medium

businesses and we have the technology, we invest, we have the

whole package. The media should be out there talking about us. SMEs. We

can really move the economy on. James, as far as talking to

politicians. I feel self-conscious. I want to make Jack's smile. This

might do. I am doing my serious face! You will like this. What do

you think politicians can do better? I think they should be more critical

of people within their own party. One of the developments in the last

12 months was Sarah Wollaston, chair of the Health Committee, a former

GP, is starting to criticise the government health policy which in

the absence of a powerful opposition, perhaps, the government

needs to be scrutinised. And Conservative MPs doing it

themselves. It would be nice to see less tribalism. The Labour Party

have gone the other way, criticising each other. Are you happy with that?

I think that the traditional party boundaries are blurring. You see

critical voices within parties and the Labour Party are taking that to

somewhere between total loyalty and Labour Party. Apart from us inviting

you onto the One Show more, what can the media do? That was it. Doing

films with Gyles Brandreth. The big danger with the media is drifting

towards groupthink. You need outlying voices and people who will

prod the establishment and status quo. I'm not saying it because James

is here, but his thing is to be one of those prod in the ribs voices.

The opposition's job, really? It should be, but that does not seem as

if it will happen. It will sound like we planned it that journalists

should be nicer to politicians. Not all politicians, goodness knows, I

do not want to talk myself out of a job but there is no point in drawing

blood when you could be shedding light on an issue when so many of us

are obsessed with landing the knockout blow. This is nice, for

2017, this is lovely. Are you enjoying this, Jack? Yes. It doesn't

get you anywhere screaming at each other. It is nice to see the love.

There are lots of big awards ceremonies coming up

But surely none are as important to our day to day lives

than the awards Arthur Smith attended, which help to flush out

Yeah, yeah, you've got your showbiz awards with their glittery dresses

and paparazzi and whatnot, but I would rather be here, the British

Loo Awards! By my not brag about it but lesser-known industries have

their own galas. Today in Solihull the best toilets in the country are

being honoured and everyone here has the urge to win. How desperate are

you? They're spread! We are always desperate! The categories range from

best baby changing facilities to the most eco-friendly. We all breathe,

we all drink, we all also need to go to the toilet. When we want to go,

we want to go and we want somewhere nice and hygienic to go. I sneaked

in to have a quick look at the so-called Toilet Oscars. Look at

this one, this is the overall winner, the loo of the year award.

Wow! That would look great on your mantelpiece, wouldn't it? What makes

a winner? We went to see an inspector at work. Anthony is going

to the hippodrome Theatre in Birmingham. And it is a serious

business. Cubicle doors must be 70 centimetres wide, for larger people.

The quality of the flush, the amount of loo roll, hot water temperature,

soap dispensers, hit from dryers. There are 100 tick boxes and the

ticks are coming. But Anthony has been disappointed too often. There

are some really shocking toilet provisions, some for example don't

have any toilet paper and you can't lock the doors, there is a terrible

odour. Only a feud row fees from the 1300 entrants -- only a feud

trophies for the 1300 entrants. This is a really prestigious prize, not

for the people who make the toilets but the people who look after them.

Last year's attendant was this man, who works for the contractor who

look after the Hippodrome washrooms. Commitment is his middle name. I

start work and I finish at eight o'clock -- I start work at eight

o'clock and I finish at -- I start at 5am and I finish at eight

o'clock. 15 hours! But I love doing it. The moment is coming. First it

is certificates. Lots of winners. And I'm sure I saw Baba, he can't be

expecting another win? Flushed with success, he did it again! But what

he really wants back in his living room is the UK Trophy. Before the

big prizes, a sort of toilet break. What's going on here? You guess the

weight of the toilet rolls. I'm going to write down my guess. Thanks

very much, hope you win! We've got a couple who are having a toilet

themed wedding and even having a toilet themed cake. So many people

are in or, that is a lovely toilet and it has been a pleasure to come

to your retail Park. Back to business, Baba might have won the

England award but now it's the big one, the trophy all attendance aim

for. Who would have thought in the

history of the Loo Awards, no one has ever won it twice. Then the

award that everyone goes for. Poor old Heathrow sitting at the back.

Next time I go to Gatwick I shall make a point of going into one of

the loos and enjoying it! Please do! Well, no gold for me alas, but great

news. Baba won again. Back to work for me.

And guess what, everyone? He is with us tonight! So please welcome the

winner, Baba Seckan! Baba! I mean, what is the secret? Well, apart from

the training, the training I received, and in the right materials

provided, it is the genuine passion and desire to provide the best

high-quality clean and hygiene. We saw them there on the film,

absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, Baba. And I love my

job and I'm proud of it! Brilliant. APPLAUSE

Thank you for coming. We love Baba, don't we? We love Baba! Have we --

have you ever been asked to host Aranguiz that? I have actually heard

of that awards and that is the holy Grail, that is the one we all want.

I was asked to host the panel beater of the year. Halford 's as well when

they present you with a drill at the end. Always handy! We have three

other audience members over there who have won three prestigious

industry awards. We want you to guess which award they won! Can we

have the third contender please? We certainly can. Please welcome to

the stage Kerry Beavis. Please get on with a ten second mime. OK, is it

to do with food? No. Is it to do with anatomy? Yes! Mass large!

Masses of the year? Well, a little bit more. Mass large of people of

the year. Facial woman of the year! Wax of the

year? , yes! -- the beauty therapist of

the year. So, what do you do best and why are you better than everyone

else? I tend to do a lot of mass argent facials and I just love what

I do, I've got such a passion for it and I love it and I think that

showed from the judges. I couldn't agree more. Ladies and gentlemen,

Kerry Beavis! Are you ready for the next one, Jack? Yes, ready. Here we

go. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dennis Hollingworth.

APPLAUSE OK, Dennis. Ten second mime, stand

by. Cigarette lighter? Whoa! Is that a

mass large parlour again? No, it... It's quite hard, this one. It's

domestic? Yes. Stubble doing that! Leaves, find another mime!

Something to do with your house. Something that you do in your house.

Ask him a question. Is it to do with heating? Is it the heating

installer? CHEERING

Yes! Heating installer of the year! Oh, Dennis. Tell me, is this all

about the number that you put into a home?

I'm sure business will be booming in 2017, congratulations.

I am trying so hard to behave but you're making it really hard for me!

Let's have the next mime. Are you ready to go? If you are, please

welcome onto the stage David! OK, David. Whenever you're ready. Oh!

He's... Do you do it outside? Yes. Is it gardening? No. Is it in a

churchyard? Yes! It's Grave-digger of the Year!

CHEERING Grave-digger of the Year! David,

congratulations. Thank you. Is it all about how well you've dug the

grave and how beautifully presented? You want to make sure it's big

enough to start with! But no, it's just making sure that it is

someone's final resting place and you've got to dress it nicely and

generally try and do the best job you can. Wonderful. How many graves

did you dig last year? About 320. I've got my mum here! Hello, mum.

Good to see you! Seeded about 300! LAUGHTER

APPLAUSE You take the trophy. There you are.

Well done, everyone. LAUGHTER

I did enjoy that! Oh! Now, in about 20 minutes, British country music

band The Shires will be live outside. There they are, staying

warm by the heater. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Let's all calm

down and carry on. The second part of our one show guide to the year

goes a little further into the future. This is the best One Show

ever! So, what do you make of 2017 so far?

Is it a B, a C or an A star? I'll take it from here, Gyles. The answer

is none of the above, if you're taking your GCSEs in August, they

will be graded between zero and nine -- between one and nine, replacing

the old system. One star you won't want to miss is Usain Bolt, expected

to run his final race at the IAAF Championships at the London Stadium.

Also running this summer, German Chancellor Angela Merkel trying for

her fourth term in charge of Europe's largest economy. Her

popularity has suffered and she could be on shaky ground, as we

might be if the controversial process of shale gas extraction also

known as fracking goes ahead in Lancashire. While some say it could

provide a vital boost to our post-Brexit economy, campaigners say

it is unsafe, a case they will make at a public inquiry into fracking in

Scotland. For the conspiracy theorists out there, 2017 sees the

release of the JFK files, giving us all the information we need about

who really shot the president in 1963. On the 1st of June it won't be

20 years ago today but 50 years since the Beatles released their

incredible Sergeant Pepper 's lonely hearts club band album. August 31

will mark 20 years since Princess Diana died in Paris. The year ends

on a scientific milestone. In Italy, the first ever full human head

transplant, which, if you think about it, is also the world's first

ever full human body transplant. 50 years after the first human heart

transplant. Wherever Will science take us next? Possibly to a galaxy

far, far away. The end of the year sees the release of Star Wars

episode eight, with Carrie Fisher reprising her role as Princess Leia

for the very last time. Before the show we asked you to come

up with a headline you would like to see in a newspaper this year. James

Cleverly. We will start with you. This is what you went for. That has

taken the fun out of the room. Do mine! A slight change of gear. You

think that will happen? I genuinely hope not but it worries me. You see

headlines coming from across the Channel, some of the terrorist

atrocities, and the way people react to situations like that can be

unpredictable. We have the French elections and Marie Le Pen for the

National Front is doing better than people expected. I do not think it

will happen but there is a credible chance. How do you feel when people

say if that happens, it will be a process that started with Brexit? I

do not think it did, Brexit showed there was a disconnect between

people like me in the political establishment and a lot of people

and now we recognise that, we can do something about it. It always

existed, we did not see it. This is yours. Do you hope that, or think

that will happen? He's used to living in Trump Towers, maybe the

White House will not be good enough. I am sure he will kick it out and

make it look like Spearmint rhino. How will he be once he is in? Will

he Halkett? We have seen him before, during, after it, now. Not many days

to go. -- can he Halkett. He cannot get anybody to sing at the

inauguration. Even Colonel Gaddafi had people singing at his birthday.

And James, this is yours. After James' colleague Michael Gove

decided the country had had enough of experts, but if you are going for

an operation, pilots on aeroplanes, I think we are fond of experts.

Experts did not predict the 2008 situation, they did not predict the

election. Pollsters ask people what they will do and if they lied to

them there is nothing the pollster can do about it. But they got close

to Brexit and Trump, but everybody casts themselves as underdogs. This

goes back to the point James was saying before the awards section, if

people get into the habit of vilifying experts, you should not be

surprised when people say they will not take these people'sviews. Our

last experts. Mine are less serious. That's all right. Wouldn't we love

to see that? Absolutely. Did everybody get his album for

Christmas? With Alfie? Could he be a special guest on yours? I love

Michael Ball. I have sung with him. A couple will take their camper van

on their first holiday in six years. Charlie from Glasgow has a new Year

resolution to become world champion of the world drug-free powerlifting

association. Does that mean there is one that allows drugs? I think that

was just to clarify. We need to talk about your period drama, Jack.

Decline And Fall. You did this as a student and have read it before. Can

you give us a summary. Of the book? It is the most complicated plot. It

is amazing. It is a comedy period drama, definitely funny and anarchic

and it has even on gorier, David Suchet. -- Eva Long

-- Eva Longoria. What did you learn from David Suchet? He is amazing.

One of my first jobs was as a runner for him, making tea and coffee. Did

he remember? He did, he is an amazing man and great to see him

doing something where he is funny because people associate him with

Poirot and heavy plays, but he is wonderful in this. And Eva Longoria.

Say no more. Beautiful. Radiant. Tonight, are you going to

Northampton, ready for the show tomorrow? Are you running? Yes,

running to Northampton! I will have a night out on the town with the

lavatory attendant of the year. Baba. And everyone, we will have

fun. Tomorrow I will go to Northampton. And the man who did the

heating. And the grave-digger and his mother.

A new year is always a chance to have a bit of a clear out

and get rid of the clutter around your house.

I think we have done 14 trips to the tip already.

It's one of the busiest times of the year for recycling

centres and in Belfast, Michael Douglas found

people struggling to part with some very fond memories.

Not the actor. Britain recycles almost half of its household waste,

over 12 million tonnes per year, a lot of which goes to recycling

centres like this one in Belfast. There is a human story behind

everything we throw out. Stuart Bingham knows all too well the

technology of tomorrow can be the junk of today. That is a fax machine

that went out of favour in the dark ages! I bought this when I was

running an insurance company 30 years ago. The fax machine is

obsolete. A lot of people who used it have also become obsolete, become

worthless. They have been replaced by computers. The amount of

high-tech gear is dwarfed by the deluge of kids' stuff. I am bringing

down old toys of my daughter. She is 14 going on 18 at the moment so this

is not cool any more. We have brought down this car. My grandson

played with it. We will have to get the new toys. I had a cry this

morning, clearing out all the toys. New toys for old may please the

kids, but what about parents like these? My baby boys have grown up.

Those days are gone. They have moved to the stage where there are no ties

any more. It is Xbox. Football. For their boys, it can be difficult

giving up old playthings. But tough decisions have to be made. Shirts

they have grown out of, but in good condition. Are we keeping this? Yes.

We got this for Lucas, his first Christmas. But there is an emotional

price to pay. Something seemingly straightforward as a clear out can

stop make -- start making use think this way. Not everything is going.

This is the boys' cot. We had a charity shop come and take some

things but we could not let them take this. We do not expect another

to come along but it has so many memories. We have got rid of

everything else, this is something we have not been able to get rid off

yet. Throwing away things from the past does not necessarily mean you

are discarding the memories. Just making room for more. For me, those

were the best days, they really were. But we have great days ahead.

Yes, good memories, but making more, making more today and tomorrow.

Another person recycling to make more for tomorrow is born-again

Christian Gary Clark. What I am bringing down is from the church. I

gave my life to Jesus Christ nine years ago and have never looked

back. I recycle stuff. I was a painter and decorator -- I am. I saw

something today I thought, that needs to go to the dump and on my

way home I dropped it off. For Gary, there is a higher purpose to

recycling. I think the Lord gave us the earth to look after. He does not

want us to waste off and cause pollution. It is right that we get

rid of rubbish properly. Christ has given me a purpose to my life. There

are many reasons to recycle and many people from all walks of life can be

found here, filling the skips. It is quite sad to see the skips

filled with toys. We need to keep in mind a lot of people would be

grateful for them. And those bikes. That is where you get a bike from.

We will go down the panel with things he would not throw away. Baba

will not throw away the trophy. James? I have a teddy bear that is a

month older than me, currently my child's bedroom and will never be

thrown away. I have a picture of my grandfather in his christening

outfit which makes him look like the little girl in a dress. My

grandmother gave me a panda bear and I put it into a yellow polo necked

jumper and I will never throw it away. Jack? Waistcoat. -- this coat.

I would never throw it away. Thanks to our guests.

And Jack, whose new UK tour At Large starts tomorrow.

Tomorrow the Hairy Bikers will be here.

Now from their latest album My Universe, it's the Shires

# I've been foolish I've been mistaken

# I've been blinded, I've felt my heart breaking

# I've seen lonely I've seen leaving

# Felt like the only one believing in love

# Yeah, I've tried, Love

# I sang a thousand Hallelujahs

# Told a million angels I was walking on water

# They left heaven open So I walked through that door

# The moment I saw you my heart sang Hallelujah,

# I remember how your sweet smile

# And how it drove me wild

# I've found faith, a new religion

# Meaning in living for your love

# That's why, my love That's why

# I sang a thousand Hallelujahs The moment I saw you

# Told a million angels I was walking on water

# They left heaven open So I walked through that door

# The moment I saw you my heart sang Hallelujah,
