05/03/2012 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

And Matt Baker. Tonight's guest has just completed a week of hell.

It started on Monday when he cycled from Paris to Calais, 185 miles!

After just one hour's sleep, he rowed across the English Channel to

Dover. Then he ran three marathons in

three days, finishing in London on Friday evening, and to top it off,

he had to run up some stairs to get to the finishing line!

Bless him! He has already raised over �1.6 million. It is the stand-

up who deserves a sit down, John Bishop!

Still going strong! Absolutely unbelievable!

God! Well done! You look incredible! It is not about me!

Obviously, what is going on? I had a scan before so at the end of the

show, I should be able to get the results. No, what it was, I just

got some pain in my front so it was more of a precaution in case it is

fractured. Probably just a splint. How are you apart from that? I have

to be honest, I spent a week where everything was hurting and

everybody kept asking how it is feeling? What hurts the most?

Everything! Towards the end when I got to do run, all the pain was

focused on my legs of fiercely. The team that was surrounding me was

brilliant. The doctor, a physiotherapist, Greek for trainer,

and at every pit stop they got around me and got me through it.

You know what it is like! You get roped into something like this.

After the first hour your thing, we have had a good time, let's go

home! We will talk more, I am interested in it. You learn quite a

lot about yourself. Relax. OK then! Now we have a One

Show exclusive. When we were given the chance to

get the first look behind the scenes of the most successful film

ever, we did not know who to go, so we let peak sorting had sorted out.

Carrie Grant was the chosen one! How lucky and might! Take a look at

this! I am on Sound Stage J of the Harry Potter Studio tour and this

is the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, from the

actual Harry Potter movie. You may think that Harry Potter is all CGI

but that is not the case. This model is 50 by 50 foot and it was

used in all of the films, and the actors were digitally shrunk and

moved around. The attention to detail is incredible. We have

handles on every door. At the end of the month, they open their doors

to the public. It did in Hertfordshire and ditties a formal

World War II aerodrome. The public will be able to see the Harry

Potter effects for the first time, exciting! Later, we will be giving

you an exclusive tour. That will be given by one of the professors from

Hogwarts. But for now, back to the studio!

In your condition, you won't be queuing up to get in there but are

you a fan of Harry Potter? Well... I am grown up, so... I am sort of a

fan but it seems a little bit odd. My kids love it and my wife and

they dragged me along to it, and I do like it but it is a bit staged.

The phenomenon is fantastic though. Giving a dog covers for the books?

So you can pretend you are not reading a children's book! -- adopt

covers. What would you buy if you had

access to your own NHS budget? Holidays and a trip to the

hairdresser's? Acupuncture, manicures, gym

membership, musical instruments, and even a fridge freezer. What do

all these things have in common? They are all goods and services

that people with long-term health needs are hoping to buy privately

using NHS money. Personal health budgets are individual pots of cash

that let some patients choose how their money is spent on their

health needs. Some choices the patients make are not always what

you would expect. Like a trip to the barbers. Not something you may

think you would find in a traditional NHS care package, but

Martin Harrison pays for his weekly spruce up out of his personal

health budget. I come and I have it washed and they tidy up my bid and

give me a shave. It tends to be once a week. -- my beard. What he

spends his Budget on is up to him, but to insure the funds are spent

appropriately, this is signed off by the Primary Care Trust. We took

a collection of some of the more surprising things that people spend

their NHS money on, like music lessons and holidays, to our One

Show pop up shop. I find that staggering. Surprising. This is

very surprising. Why should Martin be given money to pay for grooming?

He has got motor neurone disease, a condition that progressively

damages the nervous system, causing your muscles to waste away, and he

feels that paying �7 a week to get a hair wash is better value than a

carer. See how you feel when you lose the use of your arms and your

only option is for somebody to come to the house and do it for you. I

have some control over this. I go where and when I want to go and it

gives me an element of control. I say to people, you don't

necessarily want to be in my shoes. Martin is one of 2000 people in

England involved in this. He spent �180 on modifying his bicycle.

is as high as I can get, so having my bicycle altered saved me from

leaning on the handlebars. I just use my hands basically for Stephen.

You have to accept the fact that things will change but it helps you

to allow things to change at your pace. I am a big one for bench

marks. If I cannot cycle as far as this year as last year, at least I

can still cycle. It is better than doing nothing. Helen, who oversees

one of the pilot schemes, is adamant this is money well spent.

It is about choice, control and improving the quality we provide to

NHS patients. It is about them taking control back of their own

life. Personal health budgets are part of the government's master

plan to transform the NHS and give patients more control but critics

feel it is the wrong approach. De Royal College of Nursing told us

they have serious doubts about the impact of personal health budgets

and feel they could lead to the patients haven't to pay top pubs,

which would erode the key principle of the NHS being free at the point

of delivery -- top ups. The government say they are committed

to an NHS that will remain free. How can the NHS justify paying for

something that the individual could pay? We give them the same amount

of money we were traditionally purchase services for. If you put a

small amount of money into one particularly meat, it has a much

greater benefit right across the NHS because we are less likely to

use resources. So has anyone changed their mind? And laptop will

make them feel better but I don't know if it is the best way to spend

their money! Maybe it is the kind of thing that can improve their

life so it is not necessarily the worst thing in the world. They will

have more of an idea what it will take to get them better.

Department of Health say most people have responded favourably to

the scheme and for Martin at least, taking charge of his own personal

health budget has made a dramatic difference. It helps me focus on

staying as able as long as possible while I am having to suffer from

this condition and if I can last long enough, and one day they might

find the cure. Thank you, Martin. Seems like a good idea. If it is in

the hands of somebody like Martin, he has a sensible head on him, and

it makes sense. It is about wellbeing and not just treating an

ailment. David Walliams won the Thames, Eddie Izzard did 43

marathons. -- swam the Thames. Did you realise that you would have to

do more than tell jokes? I have a second job! Exactly! No. The whole

thing with Sport Relief and Comic Relief as an organisation, it is

not a case that you are trying to compete with other people, it is

that what happens somebody said, will you do this? They have a

fellow who runs this, Kevin Cahill, and a soon as he gets you, that is

it! You can't get away! In all honesty, this wasn't my idea! I

have been a hostage to this! I have been made to do it but I have no

idea why! It is one of those opportunities that so many people

do not go near. You have had the chance to see what you can do

physically. Have you surprised yourself in those dark times?

were a lot of stages on it, as we were saying before, there is a bit

when you start off with enthusiasm and then you think, this is a lot

harder than I thought. What was the point that you realised it was

massive? The hardest bit without a doubt was when I was doing the

rowing. The bike ride was 185 miles and we did not finish until 4 am.

Halfway through I had some lads to a trained with talking to me but

when I get in the boat, it was me, Davina McCall, Denise Lewis and

Freddie Flintoff. The most we had spent in the water was two hours

and we were rowing across the English Channel. We have had one

hour's sleep. I could see double, I was so tired. I was missing the

water when I was rowing! That is when they realised something was

wrong. Denise Lewis was brilliant because she has seen athletes hit

the wall, as it were. She said, you have gone, hang on for a bit, and

then the support boat came with a concoction of medication. I got it

back. It was a great cause. You went to Sierra Leone, didn't you?

Yeah, and that is another thing Sport Relief do well. They take you

to the projects and show you where the money goes. I went to Sierra

Leone and it was one of the most humbling experiences of my life.

You are surrounded by people living in terrible situations. That is an

open sewer right in the middle of a slum. 11,000 people live there.

There are up 18 working toilets. When you come from the West, you

think it is disgusting, but how many days would it be before you

end up using the open sewer? Because you have got no choice.

some did it brilliantly. You said for the price of a cup of coffee...

Yeah. The main thing we pushed for was this thing to protect against

the main five illnesses that killed children under five in the

developing world. It costs �5, it is a cappuccino and a pastry! You

have raised a shed load of cash. will definitely make a difference.

We really need more people in Monmouthshire. Do not let me down!

It is just over one mile. Get on the website. All the details are

there! If they get to run it, you can do it on a space hopper? Run at

the Mile, do it anyway. Make it interesting! Breaking news. Not all

swans are owned by the Queen. Those that aren't have to be separated

from those who are. We went to meet The mute swan.

A bird entwined with our monarchy and its history. In medieval

Britain, they were priced for their meat. So the Crown claimed oip of

all of them and kept them -- -- ownership of all much them and kept

them safe. Abots by is the home of the last

place where they are owned, here they are not owned by the Crown.

There are exceptions to the Crown owning the swans, there are a few

cases where the swans are privately owned.

This is one such herd, with numbers of about 500 birds. The problem is

that every year, swans owned by the Crown set up home here too. So

David has to ensure that some birds are not his.

Fortunately, the swans sort out their flight feathers, they are

grounded and unable to fly. It allows David to take the

opportunity to have a round-up. The idea was to ring as many swans

all in one go. That is valuable for research too?

Absolutely. We are gaining a lot of information where we have tracked

them. The swans can be spread out on this

seven-mile lagoon. The idea is to drive them all to the end. So the

local canoe club can be very handy indeed.

Fantastic! Once there, a swan-proof barrier keeps them in for the night.

I have not got a wet suit, so look. All of this effort is the tip of

the iceberg, tomorrow at dawn is where the real work begins.

It's the big day. It's very early in the morning. As is traditional

all of the locals have turned up to help.

It's beautiful. All of these wonderful people and

myself are going to join hands and gently move the swans who, at the

moment want to go that way, hopefully we will make them go that

way. The aim is for the waders to converge. Going in! Funneling the

And finally, they're all in. I'm surprised how calm the swans

are. As soon as they got in there! Yes. They will just sit and wait,

but we want to get moving quickly. We don't want them in the heat of

the day in there. After a quick instruction, the swan

censors kick -- Census kicks off. The first job is to sort the

Abbotsbury swans from the Crown swans. Most have a small metal ring,

but to make identification more simple, something more showy is

required. Yellow for Her Majesty, white for the swannery.

That swan is for the Queen, it must have a yellow ring on it.

Oh, I have Queen's swan, I better look after him.

It is a prime opportunity for the vets to give them the once over.

Are you giving him a -- him a health check? Yes, making sure that

his ice and nose are clear. -- eyes and nose are clear.

771 swans later, the last is released vaifl back on to the

lagoon. -- safely back on to the lagoon.

It's been a long day for everyone, but it's great to know that all of

the hard work is helping to keep alive Britain's only medieval

swannery. A great display of community spirit.

Wading out waist deep to get the swans in. It sounds basic and

obvious, but you cannot go out and hug swans.

You have to say! You would only get that on the One Show. You better

tell them not to do that at all. You will get people next week going

on to Swan Lake to give them a hug! John gave us a full briefing.

I know! But I don't know if you heard it, don't go near a swan or

they will break your arm! I have never heard of anyone getting a

broken arm from a swan. Let's go back to Carrie. Hello,

Carrie, any swans there? Well, no swans but there are lots of odd-

looking things. Over 200 creatures were made for the Harry Potter

films. Out of the hundreds, there was one obsessed with this place.

You may know him as Grip Hook, but we know him as Professor Flitwick.

Here is Warwick Davis. This is light slightly odd to be

seeing this? I am normally glued in this.

Do you think that this is hard for people to imagine, we are so used

to seeing CGI? I know. It is very unreal, but these things actually

exist. You are the perfect person to give

us a tour. Working on the Harry Potter films

really allowed me to indulge my inner geek.

When inbetween filming I would spend hours exploring the special

effect workshops and the incredible sets. Such as this, Professor

Dumbledore's office. Hagrid's hut! Snape's Potion Class.

And of course, Hogwarts Great Hall. All of this created by a dedicated

team of British design and crafts people. They spent a decade

bringing the Harry Potter world to life.

It was the production designer that was involved in many of the sets

and the costumes that me and my fellow actors got towork with.

Obviously digital skills have become more important as we go on,

but old crafts were kept alive too. What set or design are you the most

proud of here? Dumbledore's office. I like the three little towers that

are hanging one off the other. I like the fact that it is bordering

on complete fantasy. It is almost defying gravity, and the books, the

props, they are actually Yellow Pages with a fake vellum cover. I

like those little tricks and deseats.

One of the things that is real is this beautiful stone floor. Tell us

about this? This is a real York stone floor. It is one of my

favourite piece, it is beautiful. John Richardson led the special

effects team for the Harry Potter films. We are stood here by a door,

this is one of your creations, it is for the Chamber of Secrets. Does

this move? Well, it almost does, let me show you.

Why is that you created the effects for real, as opposed to within a

computer? They look real if they are real. It gives the director

more flexibility when he is shooting as he can move around this

and do all sorts of shots and angles without restrictions at all.

I have never known a film series to have so much detail in every movie.

It is exceptional. Can you make me a front door?

price! That is brilliant. Now we are in Diagon Alley, how

important has this been, this is the Wand Shop, how importants that

been for you? Eit is very important. I always loved holding these.

Is there a special way of doing this, using it? Absolutely, there

is what we called the Dance of the Wand.

Now, there are all kinds of paraphernalia, the prices go up and

up. I have found out earlier that the tour around here does not come

cheap. I have four children, we are

talking up to �300 to bring them here, there are no rides, so that

is a lot of money? We are taking everyone to a completely different

side of Harry Potter that has not been experienced before. Bringing

the sets to life from the Harry Potter films. We think it is really,

really good valuable for money and really exciting. People will be

amazed at the detail in the sets. The Hogwarts model alone, if one

person would have built it, it would have taken 74 years.

For me it feels so real, to you, it has been a part of your life for

ten years. It is weird coming back, but

everything I see here is as we used it when we were make the films.

The public are not getting a plastic experience, they are

getting the real thing? This is it. What is great about this, it is a

chance for the behind the scenes technicians to show off their work.

Well, we got it exclusively, weren't we lucky, it is a great

place to bring the family when it hopes up in a month.

Start saving now! Now, in a brand new series for BBC Two, our very

own John Sergeant has been travelling the country following

this dandy looking man, Francis Frith. It was in the 1860s, that

Francis Frith embarked using a newly invented piece of technology,

a camera. He wanted to photograph every town and community in the

land. I'm tracing the foot steps of this remarkable man and their team

of photographers. Using his guide, I'm travelling the length and the

breadth of the country, finding out what has altered and what has

remained the same. John is back from his travels.

A similar lifestyle? Mine was a little tougher! You started off in

Chelsea. We have a lovely shot here. What has changed when we look at

your photograph? Well, when you look at it, you think that the one

on the left has all of these oak leaves, but they are surrounding

the statue. So there is the statue, which was there at the time and

there are the Chelesa Pensioners, exactly the same, but in the middle

there is Dorothy Hughes, the first woman Chelesa Pensioners --

pensioner. She is a delightful character.

We liked the one in Whitby as well. There is the shot.

You look at some pictures and think what is the story? Here are a sea-

faring family, it is back in 1881, how do you connect these people to

today, but look at the girl on the second from the right. She is

called Guinea Peart. She lived to the age of 92. This on the right is

her granddaughter. Same hair style! Although, Susan

looks happier than Guinea! She does. They were still in the Whitby areas,

this family. They are still connected with the fishing industry

and there is my picture -- Ginny. There is my picture, you can

compare or contrast it, or you can say, aren't I a fantastic

photographer! You are handy! cameras were brilliant. Mine was a

very expensive one. You could look at the back, change the exposure,

decide what the picture would look like before you decide on anything.

It was a fabulous piece of equipment.

One of the other places, John you may recognise it, do you recognise

where this picture was taken? If it is in Liverpool, that statue,

I think is at the back of the Town Hall? There it is! Well done, John.

I would give you a free copy of my book if I had one. Thank you, I

will give you my other shoe if I can find it! That area, I once had

a job and I used to sit and eat my sandwich on that statue. I don't

remember the building. These are cotton traders. This is
