05/09/2016 The One Show

Hello, and welcome to a special week on the One Show with Alex Jones...

And Matt Baker, and there's so much to celebrate tonight.

There's a One show baby on the way - congratulations to you and Charlie -

and we're choosing this week to celebrate the programme's

The family are dropping in across the week.

Uncle John, Sensible Sarah and Sister Angellica

Well we go way back with him as well.

Dude! You took the words right out of my mouth. You said you are fan of

religion, how does that work? That is the strangest question ever. I

have absolutely no idea why they think I'm a phoney. It is Meat Loaf!

You have been on the One Show more times than we have! Have I been here

before? I just thought it was the first time. I mean, what I just saw

was, like, that guy is crazy. Hopefully this will be the most

memorable time yet. What? It is going to be great. The night is

young. Dude! Ten years ago tonight

The One Show was live They were three weeks

into their pilot run. And as John and Angellica have been

finding out that's not all that has changed in Britain

in the last decade. Ten years ago, nobody would have

known what a selfie was. John, are you ready? Smile! Or words like

Brexit, Facebook, Netflix, they cough, Instagram, troll, people

didn't start a sentence with the word so. So much has changed, the

way we shop... The way we date. And even play. We used to look up to the

heavens for inspiration. Now it's place where we start our selfies and

pictures. In 2007 we started getting rid of books, now we moved onto them

on this. There is some evidence books are making a come back, and

too. And attitudes are changing too. Same-sex relationships are becoming

mainstream. Now we have a woman Prime Minister and women leading the

Government in Northern Ireland and Scotland. After America's first

black president, will a woman be next? Mine is a dope smoking was

banned pubs -- pubs. Ten years ago, we were still searching for a male

Wimbledon champion. The waiting is over! And the stars from the London

Olympics were yet to shine. It is gold! And some things haven't

changed. A decade ago we appointed a new England football manager and we

were waiting for a brand-new James Bond. And the One Show are still on

BBC One. We have got to go. I hope you haven't tempted fate, still on!

So much has changed. What do you think is the best improvement? The

fact I don't have to drive to Birmingham to do the show. Good!

Sarah? Online banking, you can find out how overdrawn you are any time,

day or night. The fact you have a phone and can capture images

immediately. Being able to press the machine and up it comes in English.

This is like watching tomorrow's world. Over the years we have loved

it when you got yourselves involved, every time we ask you something you

are brilliant at getting back to us. Everything from where you store your

plastic bags to where you like to spend your retirement. Here is

Malcolm waving from 27,000 feet. How have things changed for you since

2006? We will have a look at them between now and Friday. I bet you

will see people gain weight. Do you think? I'm different, I have gone

the other way. I was about to say how slim you are looking. Almost

thin! Let us listen to your new stuff.

# Say a prayer to all the gods # Someone near and someone far

# Say a prayer to all the gods... #. I don't know where to start. That

song is called... What is it called? Going All The Way Is Never Enough,

and I sing that part of the song with Ellen Foley, who icing with on

that out of hell, and she was also my girlfriend, so going all the way

is never enough. So that was kind of my inside joke. So Colin who was on

tour with us is also on this record -- Carla. And it is almost 12

minutes long. It is an epic song. We have an edit for the radio, we lie

about the time. We say it is for minutes 40 but it is not. You have

now collaborated with Jim Steinman, who you have done a lot of those

wonderful songs with. You know, it is funny. I was doing and interview

right before I came on here, and I discovered something. I discovered

that I... Those songs become me. I don't feel the song, I am the song,

I become that song. All of this album is sung in character as a

19-year-old. Really difficult at times. And I was talking to the

reporter, and I said, so all the songs I have written, and I realise,

wait a second, I didn't write the songs, Jim did, but because they are

so much a part of me that I have written them, even though he has. I

don't know if that makes sense or not, I'm a little tired and crazy.

So anyway, Jim thinks this record is better than Bat Out Of Hell. And I

have to agree with him. I didn't want to make this record into

tracks, I wanted it to be a symphony, like you put on Mozart.

And I had a meeting with the head of iTunes, whom I have been to before,

and it's like going to hit the land, and he said to me, if you are going

to put it on iTunes U have got to make tracks. You know if you are an

actor from if you want to finalise a scene you bring it down, so at the

end of the tracks I brought it up. That is lovely for people to know,

if you are going to listen to it in the entirety. The last song, people

think it is about a guy trying to find a girl, but it's not, it's

about a 19-year-old trying to find himself, trying to find out who he

is. And I ended three lines to the end of it - I don't know who I am, I

don't know who I am, I don't know who I am. The cover was inspired by

North By Northwest by Alfred Hitchcock. That is Jim Steinman from

1976, that is me from now, ?30-macro lighter, and the four horsemen are

the crop-duster, after Cary Grant. But actually the horsemen represent

the music industry. The first guy is the head of all of the companies,

the guy with the scales, there is a guy who pays you, and if you notice

there is nothing in the scales. It is good to have that insight. It is

so obvious why you are still going because you are so passionate about

what you are talking about. Yes, I can't... The object of life in

general is to learn, and I continue to study constantly. When I was

doing my last tour in Australia, on every day of, I had done two

Shakespeare plays and only read one other one, I decided I would read

all of Shakespeare. So I got through all of Shakespeare except for his

sonnets. It was very interesting. Two gentleman in Verona actually

made me laugh, I understood it and I was shocked. Hopefully you feel Matt

and I have been courteous tonight, but John on the end, is interviewing

technique can be a little bit different. We are talking about when

Ricky Gervais was on the sofa. I had to be. Let's remind ourselves. On

Sunday you have this enormous retrospective of the first series of

The Office. Is it going to be a treat or is it going to be awful?

You got fired from one show, don't do it again... We haven't got time

for a question from John, don't worry, Meat! Meat Loaf's new album,

Braver Than We Are, is available on Friday. Please go and buy it. You

will really like it, I promise. I will come to your house. You are on

the One Show, they will hold you to that.

Each night this week we'll be updating a story that made a big

What have you got for us tonight, Sarah?

Five years ago, my colleague Dr Mark Porter introduced us

to a boy who was born without his right ear just as he was

Ethan and his family really touched our hearts so we thought

We were quite excited about Ethan and this pregnancy, and when he was

born, that's when we realised there was a problem. He had all of his

fingers and toes, and we noticed instantly he hadn't got an ear.

Ethan's condition affects one in three and a half thousand babies. He

has got a hairline where his ear should be. Ethan finds it hard to

fit in. He does find it difficult sometimes, especially at school, I

don't know that is his own personality. Because if he's

aggrieved to what's happened to him. Can you remember why you want a new

year? To be like you. In two weeks, he's having pioneering surgery to

build a new year from cartilage taken from his ribs. Hopefully it

will build his confidence, he will feel like he fits in more. It is the

day of the operation, and it is an anxious wait for the family. Scared

and nervous. I am frightened for him because he is just a little boy at

the end of the day. Just seeing your child have an operation is not going

to be very nice at all. I cannot wait till it is done, I'm not

looking forward to it. Eaton will be in the hands of

plastic surgeons. To make a new year for Ethan, the

surgeon has to create a pocket. It is delicate surgery. Meanwhile, Mr

Road to mix the first incision to take out Ethan's rib. It will make a

new ear. He is operating within millimetres of Ethan's long. --

lung. It is now time for the surgeons to carve the rib cartilage

into the shape of an ear. With no spare cartilage, the surgeons only

have one chance to get it right. It is five hours in and Ethan's new

ear is almost finished. But the thin layer of skin may not survive being

stretched over the framework. The cartilage ear has been inserted.

Everything has been stitched in and then we will put the suction on. You

can see... Good. It is six years later and we are catching up with

14-year-old Ethan and his family to see how life has changed. I was

amazed. People did not spare, point and ask me silly questions. I was

astonished at what it looks like. Ethan's older brother Lee and Sister

Harley have seen him blossom. As soon is he had his operation,

everything changed. He became a great big outgoing kid. He is a

little star now. I love my brother very much and I am very proud of

him. Since having his plastic surgery, Ethan has also had a

hearing aid fitted. I have been trying things I wasn't able to do

before like playing guitar with my guitar teacher. After what Ethan has

been through, he is now helping other children. They look up to me

as a role model because I can tell them what it will be like and know I

have been through that and they can go through it as well. It helps them

a lot. He is one of the bravest kids I know. What he has had to go

through and what he will go through later in life, I am really proud of

my son. It is nice to catch up with the

family. A super family. And Sarah, that is one of many examples of One

Show viewers we have followed. One of my favourites was a lady back in

2012 who at the time had what was thought to be the most technically

difficult heart operation in the world. She was as close to dead as

she could be. They took her off heart-lung bypass. She had no signs

of life when they operated on her and they put back on. We have seen

some pioneering stuff. You have been on the show since 2007. Can you pick

three top things which have inspired you as a GP? I cannot believe it is

ten years since we had the HPV vaccine which is protecting young

people against cervical cancer. Last year we had a new IVF taste which

can double the chance of it being successful -- and IVF test. And we

have done so many amazing things on organ donation. December last year,

you should be very proud, Alex, Wales introduced an opt out system

for organ donation. And the number of lives that have been saved have

been the -- increased by 24%. I have a question for you. You say you have

done incredible things, how do I get rid of a pinched nerve in my back?

Seamy later! What will we be talking about on the 20th anniversary?

Alzheimer's, we have a new drug which might reverse Alzheimer's and

a blood test which can pick it up before you even get the symptoms and

then a universal cancer vaccine may be the next big thing. We all need

her card. We do. She is wonderful. Now, from a

reunion to a riddle. It is a good one. Here is David Olosuga with the

story, in fact, he has half the story.

This is the story of a secret code to unlock hidden fortune and a 30

year mission to find a lost inheritance. The missing millions

belonged to one of the 20th century's most glamorous actresses.

Diana Dawes, written's blonde bombshell of the 1950s. Beneath the

shiny playful surface led a fractured private life. Diana Dawes

led a dramatic life. Her will was worth quarter of ?1 million which

was not a fortune for a movie star. After she died there were reports

that Diana Dors had hidden away her real fortune. In her will she

provided for her third husband and shared the rest of the wealth

between her two sons Jason and Gary. But there was a mystery. Her eldest

son Mark Dawson was missing. Why had Diana left out her first-born child?

Mark and Diana were not close. The sun you had not seen... But they

were reunited on the biographical TV show this is your life. Two years

before her death she gave Mark a large brown envelope. Mark now lives

in Los Angeles. It is a code to wear all of the money is and this is her

exact words, somewhere in the neighbourhood of ?2 million. This is

the letter from your mother? This is the actual envelope it was in and

edit was this. It has kind of gotten old and I don't know if you can see

the writing, I will hold it up to you. It looks on a piece of graph

paper and in pencil. What did you think when you opened the envelope?

I thought, it is all Greek to me! I would not even know where to begin.

Four years, Mark struggled with the code in secret, afraid to ask for

help in case someone stole the money. Then he called in a

professional. The first thing which struck me is the main bulk of it is

letters. Vince is a demon code cracker. I knew that narrowed down

the range of ciphers it could be. You try one, it doesn't work, you

discard it and then try another. So it is trial and error? What is one

word which is the key to breaking the code? After three days, Vince

nailed it, the key word was a shortened version of Diana's real

name. This was the key to unlock the code. We can see Bowen,

Stoke-on-Trent, Richards, at Leeds and other places. The other words

seem to be places and names. The other names probably indicate bank

account information but there was another level to Mark's game. She

told mark his letter was only half the code and she had given the other

half to her husband Alan Lake. He died five months later and his side

of the puzzle was never found but Mark is still determined to find his

mother's fortune. I get e-mails from people, try this, try that. Some of

them are absurd. One said meet me by your mother's headstone at midnight

on this date and I can tell you where it is. I did not go. Diana's

millions are still missing. Her elaborate game of hide and seek may

mean Mark may never find them. This may not be what she had in mind. It

seems this is the last tragedy in the act of Diana Dors.

If you go to our website you can find more information on wills as

well. Now Angellica, you have been on the

One Show since 2006. It has been ten years. How hard is it to choose a

favourite moment? I have met so many amazing people. I love working on

this show. One story which does stand out as a film I made this year

which was a goose bump moment for me. I went to County Down and a

lovely man called Roy Moorehead. As a young boy, he nearly drowned. He

went on holiday with his brothers. An amazing woman saved him. We

managed to find this woman with research and we reunited them. He

had this urge that he wanted to meet this woman and say thank you. That

was a lovely film, I remember that. And I liked also when you

gate-crashed a wedding. We had Idris Elba here. I was on a live outside

broadcast and Idris Elba was in the studio. He is a bit of a DJ and the

bride and groom loved him. I walk in and said, hi, everybody! I was

heavily pregnant as well and I thought I was going to give birth!

Then Idriss played their first song. Melody, it you look absolutely

gorgeous. We have a big tune to help you in the bedroom! That was good!

They were so shocked. So shocked. I had a good time that night.

Add John, the last time we saw you was in Weobley doing bedstead

racing. This is a man, ladies and gentlemen, who this month is having

50 years in broadcasting and this is it. Of that 50 years, how does your

work on the One Show compare? It has been terrific fun, particularly the

funny bits because I have spent most of my time being serious at

Westminster and all of it. But to be able to have this last bit of my

career with a lot of fooling about has been absolutely wonderful. And

he loves to full about! I have really enjoyed that will stop if you

are on a political story, you cannot say silly things. You could try! All

the politicians are saying the silly things. We will just show you a

quick shot of you with the Red Arrows which was a lovely moment.

That was brilliant. It has been lovely to have the three of you join

us this evening to reminisce. More of our favourite moments coming up

but first, thanks to Meat Loaf as well.

APPLAUSE And tomorrow we will be here with

the Pub landlord Al Murray. Goodbye! Enjoyed this moment!
