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

:00:20.:00:25.

We are going to be following David Walliams as he begins his 140 mile

:00:25.:00:28.

swim along the Thames as part of the Big Splash initiative.

:00:29.:00:33.

It has been a tough start, but if he makes it to the finish line,

:00:33.:00:39.

well you will be the first to hear. Joining is one of Britain's best

:00:39.:00:42.

loved actors who returned to our screens last night, it is Inspector

:00:42.:00:48.

George Gently, Martin Shaw. You have got to admire David,

:00:49.:00:53.

haven't you, taking on such a gruelling challenge? It is awesome,

:00:53.:00:59.

140 miles? Yes, in eight days. He is doing, what's that a day?

:00:59.:01:04.

is about 22 miles a day. It is quite a few laps of a

:01:04.:01:08.

swimming pool put it that way. One woman who has been waving David

:01:08.:01:11.

on from the river bank is Angela Rippon. Angela, is there any sign

:01:11.:01:17.

of David yet? Any ripples? Not yet. Ripples, yes, but they are being

:01:17.:01:22.

made by swimmers who are not David Walliams. He slipped into the cold

:01:23.:01:27.

waters of the Thames at 8am this morning at Lechlade. If everything

:01:27.:01:32.

goes well a week from today he will have finish the 140 mile marathon

:01:32.:01:36.

swim and be ending up at Westminster Bridge, but let's look

:01:36.:01:40.

at the latest pictures that we have got of him. These were taken

:01:40.:01:44.

earlier today and I have to tell you it looks as if he is swimming

:01:44.:01:49.

really strongly. A great technique, but we know he is at least an hour

:01:49.:01:53.

behind schedule. He is in trouble. He is having difficulties on his

:01:53.:01:57.

first day. I will tell you more about that later. Look at the

:01:57.:02:02.

reception committee, he does love to make an entrance!

:02:02.:02:06.

They will be spurring him on, those Morris dancers.

:02:06.:02:11.

Let's hope he makes it. Has raised �71,000.

:02:12.:02:21.
:02:22.:02:22.

We know you are a technology fob... Fob... Who told you that? Can you

:02:22.:02:28.

have a stab at telling us what an app is? Those nice people called my

:02:28.:02:31.

children tell me I shouldn't bother with it because I wouldn't

:02:32.:02:34.

understand. A good effort.

:02:34.:02:40.

I have seen the apps my kids have on their phone. They look wonderful.

:02:40.:02:46.

My phone doesn't accept them. are computer programmes on your

:02:46.:02:50.

mobile phones that allow you to do things like play games, orderer

:02:50.:02:53.

your groceries. Some claim to monitor everything

:02:53.:03:03.
:03:03.:03:04.

from high blood pressure to 13 million of us have got one of

:03:04.:03:10.

these, a smartphone, music, movies and television, an app for

:03:10.:03:12.

everything and the latest are designed to keep our health in

:03:13.:03:17.

check, but are they good enough to keep the doctor from the door?

:03:17.:03:21.

As our lives get busier and busier, we seem to have less and less time

:03:21.:03:27.

to do the things that keep us well like exercise and take regular

:03:27.:03:32.

health checks, health apps offer instant readings for just about

:03:32.:03:37.

everything from blood pressure to detecting cancerous moles, but how

:03:37.:03:41.

effective are they and are they really safe? We decided to stage

:03:41.:03:48.

our own road test of the three of the most reviewed health apps, a

:03:48.:03:55.

blood pressure monitor, a blood alcohol monitor and and an app to

:03:55.:04:05.

test for cancerous moles. We took took a GP and tested Howard's blood

:04:05.:04:08.

pressure with standard equipment and the new blood pressure app. Are

:04:09.:04:14.

you nice and relaxed? Yes. As much as I can be in your presence.

:04:14.:04:20.

140 over 99. How is that? Probably a bit on the high side.

:04:20.:04:25.

In both tests Howard registered a similar elevated reading. Stuck in

:04:25.:04:29.

the back of the cab with two young ladies could be stressful!

:04:29.:04:33.

What's your verdict? For usage at home and getting an idea of what

:04:33.:04:36.

your blood pressure is doing over a period of time, it is not a bad

:04:36.:04:38.

idea and it is straightforward to use.

:04:38.:04:42.

The app is free, but the blood pressure cuff that goes with it

:04:42.:04:48.

costs under �200. The manufacturers advice users to consult a doctor if

:04:48.:04:50.

they have they have concerns about blood pressure.

:04:50.:04:54.

After a day at work, there is nothing nicer than a drink to help

:04:54.:04:57.

you relax, but doctors are always telling us to limit the amount we

:04:58.:05:03.

consume. How about an app app that plays the part of the cautionary

:05:03.:05:09.

voice telling you how much alcohol there is in your blood stream. You

:05:09.:05:15.

can download the blood alcohol content reader for free. It uses a

:05:15.:05:19.

simple questionnaire to calculate your blood alcohol levels as

:05:19.:05:23.

opposed to a chemically based police standard standard breath

:05:23.:05:30.

test. The number of drinks you have consumed? Two two shots of vodka.

:05:30.:05:34.

Two glasses of rose. Hours spent drinking? Two hours.

:05:34.:05:39.

It is saying find a taxi. Oh right. I wouldn't be comfortable with

:05:40.:05:44.

driving. I am going to breathalyze you. Keep

:05:44.:05:50.

going and stop. OK. Let's see just how drunk you

:05:50.:05:54.

are. 83. You are well over the limit. The legal limit for a breath

:05:54.:06:00.

test is 35 micro grams. People would use this in the wrong

:06:00.:06:05.

way and use it as a guidance as to whether they should drink and drive.

:06:05.:06:09.

It has a disclaimer, I think it might get misused.

:06:09.:06:16.

We contacted the developer and they said it is for entertainment

:06:16.:06:19.

purposes only. It is one thing to use technology as a way to monitor

:06:19.:06:24.

your drinking, but some medical professionals are growing concerned

:06:24.:06:28.

about apps that offer self diagnosis like SpotMole, a product

:06:28.:06:38.

that claims to detect cancerous melanoma. Let's see because this we

:06:38.:06:44.

know is a harmless mole and let's see what it says about a known

:06:44.:06:49.

harmless mole. We try the app seven times and only once did it give the

:06:49.:06:54.

correct diagnosis as being harmless. The rest stated the mole as

:06:54.:06:57.

problematic. This is per perting to make a

:06:58.:07:04.

diagnosis. The dangerous form of skin cancer called the melanoma can

:07:04.:07:09.

be fatal if it is not diagnosed early enough and it would be tragic

:07:09.:07:17.

if someone relied on a programme like this for something that is a

:07:17.:07:20.

potentially fatal condition. Health professionals think some of

:07:20.:07:27.

the apps can be useful, but they express concern about those

:07:27.:07:30.

involving self diagnosis because playing at doctors and nurses can

:07:30.:07:39.

do us more harm than good. The company behind the Blood

:07:39.:07:48.

Alcohol Content Calculator claims their app encourage responsible

:07:48.:07:58.
:07:58.:08:01.

driving by giving numbers for local taxi drivers.

:08:01.:08:07.

Dr Mark Porter is here. Dr Mark, do you think there is a place for

:08:07.:08:11.

these apps? They are simply computer programmes. Just because

:08:12.:08:15.

they are on your mobile doesn't make them magic. The blood pressure

:08:15.:08:20.

app, the machine I use every day a proper NHS machine is half the

:08:20.:08:23.

price of that app. Why would you buy it other than to be a gadget?

:08:23.:08:32.

This is my phone. I was looking at the apps and I have got something

:08:32.:08:38.

for testing colour-blindness. You have a body mass app. The most

:08:38.:08:45.

useful app is a first aid app. I have St John Ambulance's if someone

:08:45.:08:49.

is choking, you press choking and it takes you through dig grams of

:08:50.:08:56.

what to do, including telling you to to dial 999. I would urge

:08:56.:09:01.

everybody, if you can have one medical app, it is what to do in a

:09:01.:09:05.

crisis. The number of compressions? Tells

:09:05.:09:11.

you what to do. We were talking about you

:09:11.:09:15.

collapsing on stage last year, I don't suppose an app helped you

:09:15.:09:19.

then? I was ill over the weekend. I had a bad chest infection, but we

:09:19.:09:23.

have got this thing in the entertainment industry, you don't

:09:23.:09:27.

stop. I know it is crazy, but I drove, we were on the tour at the

:09:27.:09:32.

the time. I drove to the tour venue. Felt lousy, did the show, did the

:09:32.:09:41.

next one and my cue came and I collapsed.

:09:41.:09:47.

It was a slow and dignified bend forward and my son was in the wings

:09:47.:09:51.

and he brought the curtain down as it happened.

:09:51.:09:56.

Thank you. When David Walliams was on the show

:09:56.:09:59.

last week, we spoke about the wildlife he might see along the

:09:59.:10:06.

Thames. It sounds like he has too much on his mind to take it in.

:10:06.:10:11.

Jamie Crawford is devoting time to help you take better snaps.

:10:11.:10:15.

I am in the north Downs in Surrey on a mission to photograph one of

:10:15.:10:20.

the most acrobatic animals in the UK, the grey squirrel. It is

:10:20.:10:24.

thought these flexible rodents can jump ten times their own body

:10:24.:10:30.

length, about three meters. It is that amazing leaping ability that I

:10:30.:10:36.

want to photograph. Oh, missed it! Technically, I have got a

:10:36.:10:44.

photograph of a leaping squirrel. Is it any good? No, it is rubbish!

:10:44.:10:48.

That greyish brown blur is a squirrel, I promise!

:10:48.:10:53.

Jamie, hello. Kim Taylor has has taken truly

:10:53.:10:59.

breath taking wildlife shots. He has devised a very clever way to

:10:59.:11:03.

steer squirrels in my direction. A feeding station with only one route

:11:03.:11:09.

on to it. So So actually this is an ingenious design, they can climb up

:11:09.:11:16.

the pole, but can't reach the food. You have a prickly pile, therefore

:11:16.:11:21.

the only route is a mid-air jump. From the launch to the glide, to

:11:21.:11:26.

the touch down, I want a shot that reflects the squirrel's jumping

:11:26.:11:33.

ability. Kim's system can capture three images of the squirrel's jump

:11:33.:11:39.

in one photo, but to achieve it takes a lot of ingenuity.

:11:39.:11:44.

The camera shutter is is going to be open for the full-time of the

:11:44.:11:48.

squirrel's jump. There will be three flashes which will give you

:11:48.:11:52.

three images of the of the squirrel. The flashes are triggered by the

:11:53.:11:56.

camera shutter opening, but because the squirrels are fast, my

:11:56.:12:00.

reactions won't be quick enough. Naturally Kim has thought of that,

:12:00.:12:05.

a squirrel launchpad. The the weight of the squirrel is

:12:05.:12:09.

not enough to trigger it. When the squirrel jumps it kicks off and

:12:09.:12:13.

triggers it. I just need to wait and prime the

:12:13.:12:20.

camera when I see a squirrel on the pad, but will it work?

:12:20.:12:25.

Squirrels are most active at first light and I've let Kim stay in bed

:12:25.:12:35.

rather bravely. When it comes to doing it I'm terrified.

:12:35.:12:42.

I have seen my first squirrel. He is teasing me. He is not going near

:12:42.:12:45.

the jump. Although the hide has been here for weeks, they know

:12:45.:12:54.

something is up. Plenty of activity, but not just the kind I need.

:12:54.:13:04.
:13:04.:13:13.

Finally they start building up I wonder if they would be jumping

:13:13.:13:19.

in I wasn't here? My my only hope is they can't resist the smell of

:13:19.:13:29.
:13:29.:13:46.

Wow. It works and it looks amazing. Now the confidence amongst the

:13:46.:13:56.
:13:56.:14:01.

I can't sit round here any longer. The first one is a classic jump.

:14:01.:14:06.

The second one you can see using his tail to balance midair.

:14:06.:14:11.

I have to say thank you so much for this, because it's your ingenious

:14:11.:14:15.

flash system. It was you who pressed the button. There's too

:14:15.:14:20.

much back patting going on here. Wow some shot that. You liked that,

:14:20.:14:26.

dpbtdsnu I loved that. He was very chuffed with himself. We know

:14:26.:14:32.

you're a big fan of wildlife. Is it a bear charity you're patron of?

:14:32.:14:37.

it's not. Do you know why we say that? Because we found this picture.

:14:37.:14:44.

Oh, my gosh. That was such fun. The bigger of the two bares was Daley.

:14:44.:14:49.

He was about 6'3". We got to know each other so well, he would take a

:14:49.:14:54.

polo mints from my lips, with this enormous gob coming at you.

:14:54.:14:58.

have to have a huge amount of respect for animals like that.

:14:58.:15:01.

had a huge amount of respect for the trainer and he told us how to

:15:01.:15:08.

behave around the bear. Had ewas a very gentle soul. It's still a wild

:15:08.:15:15.

bear. Lars Halvor Jensen came back to the screens last night --

:15:15.:15:19.

Inspector George Gently came back to our screens last night. Lots of

:15:19.:15:29.
:15:29.:15:29.

detective daum yaz on screen at the moment. What makes Gently so like

:15:29.:15:35.

likeable? If I knew, I would be a rich and successful producer. I'm

:15:35.:15:40.

just grateful they do like it. We have an award-winning writer. We

:15:40.:15:44.

have the beautiful city of Durham, your home down. Yes! That really

:15:44.:15:48.

adds a tremendous amount to the programme. To me, in particular,

:15:48.:15:52.

you have got this wonderful cathedral looking down over

:15:52.:15:55.

everything. It's a presence that's always there for you. There's a

:15:55.:15:59.

lovely moment in the second film where you say, this is slowly

:15:59.:16:03.

becoming my favourite view, as you're stood on the steps.

:16:03.:16:08.

totally understand that. We get hardly any time off when we're

:16:08.:16:12.

filming. We do two one-and-a-half hour movies in eight weeks. Those

:16:12.:16:16.

times I did have off I head for the cathedral. There's something

:16:16.:16:22.

extraordinary about a place known 900 years of continuous worship.

:16:22.:16:25.

It's interesting that it's shot there. The books were written in

:16:25.:16:32.

Norfolk. I could have walked to work. That would have been quite

:16:32.:16:37.

nice! I can see why they cholz Durham. It's, forgive me East

:16:37.:16:41.

Anglia, it's a more interesting landscape. You know all the right

:16:41.:16:48.

things to say when you're sat next to Matt. The films are set in the

:16:48.:16:52.

1960s. We talked about you being a bit of a technophobe. Here you are

:16:52.:16:56.

with your side kick, grappling with another new innovation.

:16:56.:17:06.

Look at this, tea, milk, no sugar. Tea, sugar, no milk. Tea, no milk,

:17:06.:17:16.
:17:16.:17:34.

What's it taste like? Warm water, cold milk, no tea.

:17:34.:17:39.

I have to disagree, those machines are the best 15p you can spend.

:17:39.:17:44.

Interesting your relationship with Sergeant Bacchus has developed into

:17:44.:17:47.

a father/son. Absolutely. It started almost instantly. He's not

:17:47.:17:51.

only a very, very good actor. He's the nicest person you can work with.

:17:52.:17:55.

He's very funny and mischievious. Did you take inspiration from any

:17:55.:17:59.

other kind of df detectives? Because we've created what we think

:17:59.:18:04.

is the ultimate detective. You have to guess who this is made up from.

:18:04.:18:13.

If you can get four, I'll be amazed. Top down. Miss Marple. Then John

:18:13.:18:20.

Thaw. Doing well. I can see my old mate David Suchet in there as

:18:20.:18:26.

Poirot. What about the chin or nose? If you get the nose I'll be

:18:26.:18:33.

amazed. It's not a male, that nose is not male. It's female. OK.

:18:33.:18:41.

have to rush you. Shall we reveal all. Go on.

:18:41.:18:47.

Helen Mirren and luether of course. The next episode is on Sunday night,

:18:47.:18:52.

looking forward to that. Next film I should say actually. You're in

:18:52.:18:57.

pretty good shape, what are you a 34 waste? No, actually 32! I feel

:18:57.:19:05.

terrible now. Now that's back fired! You came out earlier and

:19:05.:19:11.

said "I think he's a 36". Only kidding. It makes buying jeans very

:19:11.:19:17.

easy, 32, 32. I'm the same. On we go. It seems men are telling

:19:17.:19:20.

porkies about expanding bellies and some shops haven't helped by

:19:20.:19:23.

labelling trousers, can you believe, this a size smaller than they

:19:23.:19:29.

actually are. We decided to arm Gyles Brandreth with tracky bottoms

:19:29.:19:33.

and a tape measure. In Britain we're all getting bigger. It's

:19:33.:19:37.

official. Even the statues are putting on weight. We fool

:19:37.:19:40.

ourselves that we're slimmer than we actually are.

:19:40.:19:47.

What size is your waste? 34 I think. If I'm being generous, 37.5 Sir.

:19:47.:19:53.

You would be pleased if in the shop you saw 34.

:19:53.:19:58.

Why say you're a 38, I can get into a 36. Even though it's crushing you

:19:58.:20:03.

to death. What am I measuring? on with it.

:20:03.:20:07.

Shop woz say they're trying to make people feel more comfortable about

:20:07.:20:12.

themselves. No, they're trying to sell stuff. The point is you would

:20:12.:20:17.

like to see 34. Do you think it's pandering to the vanity of people?

:20:17.:20:24.

He's very vain, aren't you? No! the old Dales I looked up to men

:20:24.:20:33.

because they were men, they had a certain ah... Manlyness. What I do

:20:33.:20:39.

is wear elastic waist band, that's the trick. I loved that. That's

:20:39.:20:45.

great. More measuring on The One Show. Gyles Brandreth 34 inch, if

:20:45.:20:49.

you're wondering. We've heard of people changing their name. I've

:20:49.:20:54.

always like Nelly myself. Have you? No. But it's not just people. One

:20:54.:20:58.

village decided to change what it called itself as a thank you to

:20:58.:21:01.

Egypt. Michael Douglas has the story and that is his real name, by

:21:01.:21:05.

the way. This Hampshire village has two very

:21:05.:21:09.

proud claims to fame. The first one is its name, which sounds more

:21:09.:21:14.

Sahara desert than thatched cottage and the second is the story behind

:21:14.:21:19.

the name. Enham Alamein was created aiz a unique home for war heroes

:21:19.:21:24.

over 90 years ago. In the First World War, two million

:21:24.:21:27.

British servicemen were injured. Three quarters of a million were

:21:27.:21:33.

permanently disabled. Many, mentally and physically

:21:34.:21:39.

traumatised, were brautd to Enham to help them recover. Small

:21:39.:21:41.

military pensions meant they couldn't look after themselves.

:21:41.:21:46.

They were given homes and their children grew up here.

:21:46.:21:51.

Doug was born in Enham. His father Walter came here in 1919, suffering

:21:51.:21:55.

from shell shock. Walter and his wife and children were only the

:21:55.:21:59.

second family to move in. Doug is the one in white.

:21:59.:22:04.

What was it like growing up here? It was different, because it was

:22:04.:22:08.

only the latter years you realised how different it was. You were so

:22:08.:22:11.

used to men walking about with one arm, one leg, nearly everybody had

:22:11.:22:18.

a walking stick. You just thought that was the thing until you got a

:22:18.:22:22.

bit older. Enham gave work to all of them. Walter became a cobler and

:22:22.:22:30.

they provided a home to his family. A lot of men would have been on the

:22:30.:22:35.

scrap heap, if it hadn't been for a like like Enham. My dad, it made

:22:35.:22:39.

his life. The village was just called Enham in those days. Then

:22:39.:22:43.

came the Second World War and the crucial battle of Alamein in Egypt,

:22:43.:22:49.

when the alies repelled Rommel's forces. Hundreds more disabled

:22:49.:22:53.

soldiers were brought here. As a gesture of thanks for Britain's

the village responded. With their new name, Enham Alamein

:23:04.:23:07.

thrived. Today it's still going strongly. What's it like round here,

:23:07.:23:11.

it strikes me as a very friendly place, is that right? Yes, it is.

:23:11.:23:15.

There are lovely people here, very young, community minded. I'm told

:23:16.:23:20.

there's something rather amusing back here. Wow! A barber's shop. My

spiritual home. How are you doing? Fine, thanks. For what it's worth,

:23:26.:23:30.

you're doing an excellent job. kind of you. Thank you very much.

In peacetime, the demand from ex- servicemen diminished, so Enham

:24:01.:24:05.

So what's Enham brought to you here? Fplgts it's brought whole new

:24:05.:24:10.

life for me and opened up a new load of doors and opportunities for

:24:10.:24:14.

me. Enham has always provided employment to give disabled

:24:14.:24:18.

servicemen a new start. Today, it's as busy as ever. Here they're

packing up products for well known companies. We look at cape yablgts,

encouragement, a purpose and value here. What do you feel that working

here has brought you? Confidence, self-esteem, despite my disability.

:24:40.:24:43.

It's given me a good looking life It's given me a good looking life

now. In the early days horticulture was one of the favourite jobs. For

:24:47.:24:50.

the men who came here from the horrors of war, the tranquillity

:24:51.:24:54.

must have been like paradise. As productive now as ever, veg and

:24:54.:24:59.

flowers are growing right through the year. It's very good therapy.

:24:59.:25:05.

You get everything from seed to plate. Everyone benefits enormously

:25:05.:25:10.

from the therapeutic side of things. Can I take some home with me?

:25:10.:25:17.

you can indeed. 25,000 -- 250,000 people have come to find help here

:25:17.:25:21.

over the years. The charity has been helping the services again

recently, servicemen from Afghanistan and Iraq to get jobs on

civvy street. Enham Alamein, now if that isn't a name to -- with a

:25:36.:25:40.

claim to fame, I'll eat my hair brush. Nice to see Michael without

:25:40.:25:44.

the clippers for a change. He did mention them twice. Time now to

:25:45.:25:47.

return to the Thames to see how David Walliams is doing. Angela,

:25:47.:25:54.

any sign of him yet? Absolutely no sign at all, I'm afraid, so far. In

:25:54.:25:59.

fact, where you've joined me is at Bablock Hythe in Oxfordshire. This

:25:59.:26:03.

is where David is hoping to come ashore at the end of his first day

:26:03.:26:08.

of this eight-day marathon, which started at 8am, when he slipped

:26:08.:26:12.

into the icy cold waters of the Thames at Lechlade.

:26:12.:26:16.

Feeling quite nervous, because it's very cold this morning. We were

:26:16.:26:20.

hoping that the temperature was going to be 20 degrees in the water.

:26:20.:26:23.

But it's 15. It's nice though, loads of people have come out to

:26:23.:26:31.

see me this morning, which is fantastic.

:26:32.:26:34.

APPLAUSE I got that thing where I really

:26:34.:26:38.

want to get started now. I feel like, come on let's get on with it.

:26:38.:26:43.

I keep on saying I'm going to do it, but I haven't done it yet. Ahead of

:26:43.:26:47.

him he's got 140 miles swimming for an average of eight hours a day for

:26:47.:26:53.

eight days. But only 15 minutes in and David had to negotiate the

:26:54.:26:58.

first of 46 locks. Then it was straight back in the water and it's

:26:58.:27:04.

great to see that David is being cheered on by public support.

:27:04.:27:08.

You saw there that David went into the water in his swimming trunks. I

:27:08.:27:11.

can tell you he hadn't been in the water very long when he hit trouble.

:27:11.:27:15.

Look at the latest film. He looks as if he's swimming really strongly,

:27:15.:27:19.

but now he's in a wetsuit. His trainer, who was swim ago longside

:27:19.:27:23.

him in the film noticed that he was going blue around the neck. That

:27:23.:27:26.

was an indication that he was beginning to suffer from

:27:26.:27:32.

hypothermia. Now that is really very serious this early in his swim.

:27:32.:27:35.

Instead of being able to complete the 21 miles today, which is what

:27:35.:27:39.

he was hoping for, what I can tell everybody here now, because I've

:27:39.:27:44.

just heard, he's actually only made 17 miles. He's at Northmoor lock

:27:44.:27:48.

and they're taking him out of the water because he is beginning to

:27:48.:27:50.

struggle and they don't want him to get into any more difficulties. But

:27:51.:27:54.

they're going to put him in a boat, bring him down here, so that all of

:27:54.:27:57.

you will be able to see him. CHEERING

:27:57.:28:01.

So David, come on down, because there's a great reception committee

:28:01.:28:06.

for you. We can't start the party without you. Incredible. I think

:28:06.:28:09.

it's important to note, that it doesn't matter how long it takes

:28:09.:28:13.

him to do. He has to keep going. Thank you very much. We catch up

:28:13.:28:17.

with David on the next leg of his swim tomorrow. Don't be tempted to

:28:17.:28:20.

jump into the Thames because of course it is dangerous. If you have
