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

Baker. We have action, drama and comedy all covered on the show

tonight. We will be chatting to the stars of Mr Selfridge and The Last

Leg. Tapp tap and Adam Hills are here. We are kicking things off

with one of the biggest movie stars in the world. From Die Hard to Pulp

Fiction, The Fifth Element to The Sixth Sense, he has starred in some

of the most memorable films of the last 25 years. Yes. Please welcome,

Bruce Willis. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

YES! Everybody is very happy to see you here. I'm happy to be here.

have never seen the studio this full. They have piled in for you.

Oh, gosh. Earlier on today, we tried the Die Hard look. You can

have a look, see what you think. Here we are. What do you reckon?

That is so good. Do you mean that. A little more blood. That is

awesome. Over here it's quite the thing the vest look that you

introduced back with the first Die Hard. People really go for that

over here. Yes. If you think at home that you can outBruce, Bruce

in a vest, put it on, strike an action pose and send us a picture.

Action men and action women are more than welcome. Email us at

[email protected] According to our research you have saved the

world about 12 times. There or there abouts. I think about a good

dozen times. Good. The British have said that you and Sigourney Weaver

are the two movie star that is they think are most likely to be able to

actually save the world. The thing is... Have you heard that? It is

good. A week on Friday, this Friday coming, we may need your help.

is going on? Have you not heard about Asteroid 2012 DA14? It's

coming, approximately - Look at the size of that. 20,000 miles close to

the earth. Have you not heard about that? I thought this went...

thought that went past us. February 15th. Almost 50 metres

wide it weighs 130,000 tonnes. are you going to do about it?

going to... I will do a little extra shopping tomorrow. Cool.

make sure... It's a... It's real asteroid? It is a real one. I have

landed on asteroids. How was that? Armageddon? No gravity. No. We were

actually able to walk around on it. Cold and a lot of cearle being

blown at you. -- caerl being blown at you. That is not a real thing.

Proper. What is the date today? Thursday today. A week tomorrow.

Not going to hit us though? could. It could knock some

satellites that are out in that region. We will see. We have to

tell you we had a brilliant morning this morning we saw the new Die

Hard movie. It was like fort knocks. We had to give over our phones.

There is a lot of secrecy about it. It is absolutely incredible. Thank

you. You raised the bar as far as action movies are concerned.

Cloaked in secrecy. What about the title? A good day to die? Are you

confused about it I was. I thought about it and I'm all right with it

now. It's never A Good Day to Die Hard, is it? I don't quite

understand it. It's A Good Day to Die Hard. I'm still working on it.

It's because really... I tell you what. Shall we look at a preview

and then we will talk about it. we take a look? American. Yeah. New

York. Are you a cop? Yeah. Welcome Need a hug? We're not a hugging

family. Damn straight! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It's great to see, even you watchinglet trailer you get excited

about this movie?' Excited. It's exciting. Well, you know, we

certainly blow a lot of things up. Yes. Have good bad guys and a bad

girl in there. Very bad girl. bad, very bad. Yeah, fun. It's full

of all the action-packed stuff, as you would expect, there is a lot of

compassion in there for us girls. The story of father and son is

really nice throughout the film. It's really nice. It is a... These

Die Hard films have always had a little family content in there. A

little conflict and Jai Courtney, he plays my son, it's good. There

he is. A little family drama in there. It has that Die Hard oomph

to it. It definitely does. I love the different styles and the fact

that you don't impress your style on him and suddenly it works out,

you know, it's just leave it to dad. He's a good son. A good kid. Yes.

As we have said, the film does explore the father and son

relationship. Here are some One Show viewers who have found ways

connect as dad and their lads. No rocket launchers were involved.

love spending time with you. Good. Sometimes. I'm James. I'm Joe.

cycled 1,146 miles from Land's End to John owe grots. It took us 20

days. We averaged about 55, 60 miles a day. We could have done it

faster, but we wanted to spend more time together, I suppose. No

arguments, apart when you lost your mum's top. She got annoyed about

that. At your age I wouldn't want to do. It I feel privileged you

want to spend time with me. I have learnt you shouldn't take your

parents for granted. Have you? have. Time spent with loved ones is

special. That's heartbreaking. I'm and Andy. I'm Luke. Together we

renovated this 1998Mini. We stripped everything down. Took the

engine out and cleaned it up. We repainted it. Any parent wants to

create memories for their sons and daughters. We will not be here

forever. It's nice to have something they can pass on what

they did with their mum and dad. I'm Peter. I'm Matt we ran my

first... And my 100th marathon together. I have been running

marathons for 17 years. I started when man Matthew was two. When he

was 1 he decided he wanted to run a marathon. I have always seen him

run and always wanted to run alongside him and to hear all his

stories and stuff was quite nice. Shame he slowed me down though.

There was a point when I said he should go on. He said, no, we

started together, so we would finish together. We will have a go

at coast-to-coast. That is eight days together. That is a long time.

Maybe we won't do that. We might fall out by then. I'm Bob. I'm Andy.

Together we have ridden 50,000 miles on our bikes. Wales, all the

Lakes, the Highlands of Scotland, India. Into mock row Coe. It's not

the Des nition, it's the journey there -- nest nation. It's the

journey there and the time I am spending with my dad. Whatever

happens en route, happens. We are spending quality time with each

other making memories that no-one can ever take away from us, no

matter what happens. A lot of my mates are envious this I go on

holiday with my dad and leave my wife and mum at home. Great fun.

You can have mates. You go out drinking with your mates, but this

is life. He's more than my best mate. Eh... No kissing on camera!

Lovely stories there. You have daughters, very busy man? I do.

10 month old as well. Yes Mabel I hope is watching at home. Give her

a wave. Mabel. Cute as can be. Something in the region of six

films last year is it hard for you to keep that close family bond?

my kids like to come and travel and see us. Mabel goes everywhere with

us. Just got to keep them laughing. With earmuffs every time with all

these explosions? They don't come to the set. They are always around.

Have the girls seen the film? I think Rummer saw it. In LA we had

a screening of tsm they will see. It they have to. Yeah. On the theme

of the father and son theme, is it right it was part of your idea to

include this in Die Hard? Yes. It seemed like the right idea. There

is a photograph in the first film that has a picture of my wife Holly

and myself and two little kids and the kids grow up and they are the

kids in the film. Jai Courtney is on his way. That guy is awesome.

Yeah, he is. Let us see John and Jack bonding over a good old

terrorist shootout. You remember the last time we talked was before

you went away? No, you are not going to open up to me right before

we die. That is not your thing, John. What is my thing? Killing bad

guys, that is your thing. You're not going to die today.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE That is when I thought you were

going to say to him, "today is not A Good Day to Die Hard." It was

close. It sounded like he is whining on a couple of those takes.

Yes, it's a difficult title. A Good Day to Die Hard. I suppose it's

because you had kind of a good day, if you would have died, well, so be

it. Is that it? That's right. Have a sandwich and let's go shopping.

That would have been at your choosen... I don't. It makes about

as much sense. Or maybe there is a good day to die hard. The title is

bothering you. It was a good time for car chases. Wow. 78 day it is

took to film? We set a new record. It goes on for 20 minutes, doesn't

it It's disturbing. You are in the car. I'm in the car. Now, I'm on

top of some other cars. Well, you don't see that often. Did you do

most of the driving yourself? half of tsm I have a good stuntman.

He is out of his mind. He was doing the hard stuff. I'm hear to tell

the tale. I will not say you are an old bloke, by any means, but,

Bruce... Well... Saying that to Bruce Willis. I'm not going to say.

It you did get in the car and roll it? Well. That might have been a

I needed a little minute but I'm fine now. You know when you started

the whole Die Hard series 25 years ago, did you ever think you would

get to the fifth instalment? Well, I just didn't think about it.

Do you, you seldom think what's going to happen in 25 years?

that scares me. Or even two years from now. I was so big then. So...

LAUGHTER But watch the other films back before filming this one?

couple of 'em. But not the entire film set. You are still looking

really fit in the movie. You must have worked out for that one.

little. Yeah, just enough. You have to try to keep your bones from

breaking. So I did exercise. Will there be a sixth Die Hard? Yes.

CHEERING Brilliant! People at home will be

so glad to hear that. We won't let on too much what happens but

there's a lovely shot at the end. We won't reveal it. It is a

brilliant film, as we've established, but there's one

problem - the title for you - but the other thing is it is being

released on Valloula and this is a contentious issue, because it will

cause conflict between men and women. Do they see a rom-com or do

they see an action film. Have you thought about that, Bruce? I have

thought about that. I think it's a very good idea to have women in

charge of date night on Valloula. In fact I think women should be

charge of everything. They are so much smarter -- should be in charge

on Valentine's Day. Alex Riley has found out that even the most loving

couples can find themselves bickering over a trip to the

pictures. I'm a tough guy. I'm a man. And I love action movies. A

hot dog and a fizzy drink, please. I'm also an enthusiastic lover, but

I don't want to waste my time watching a chick flick. It is a

problem for red-blooded all over the country when going to the

cinema with their partners. How do you decide what you see? It is

usually me. She usually tells me what we watch. I tend to go for

action films but I'm versatile. Valentine's Day the lady comes

first, so I take a back seat. want to watch that Sex And The City

thing. What wouldn't you force him to is it through? Anything with

Jennifer Aniston in it. Is there anything he's made you see that you

hated? Skyfall. I'm not a James Bond fan. But in tend she really

enjoyed it. No, I fell asleep! my partner falls asleep I know she

isn't enjoying it. Probably something romantic, something funny.

A rom-com? One of them, yes. I like the sound of that. You like the

action films, lots of shooting. Lots of violence. I would really

like to see The Life Of Pi, but we'll probably see Flight. I gave

you the opportunity to see Life Of Pi. He loves you so much he's

prepared to let you see that. Aren't I lucky? APPLAUSE

There you go! I love the guy who said, "I'm very versatile." What

happens in your house? You are married to Emma, who was brought up

in Britain for part of her life. Does she choose the films or you?

She chooses the film. Is she a rom- com or action? She likes explosions

and rom-coms. Rom-coms win. didn't know what that was until a

couple of weeks ago. Bruce Willis, how can you not know what a rom-com

is? I just don't pay enough attention. It's a rom-com I think.

A Good Day To Die Hard. LAUGHTER That's a very good rom-com. It is a

bromance. Good. It is a romance. It is great that you were saying that

women should be in charge of everything. Did she instigate the

tattoo? No, it is just a little souvenir of when we got married. It

is cute. So that's the date of the wedding? Yes. And the premiere is

tomorrow in London for A Good Day To Die Hard. Will Emma be going

with you? I think she will be going with me. There was a little early

warning that a new dress was being acquired today. I think she will be

there. Alright. People will remember you from Moonlighting,

back in the 1980s. It kind of launched you. Let's remind

launched you. Let's remind ourselves. Que sera sera, what will

be will be. Like it or not, it's That's how you throw a real punch.

That's how you throw a real punch. APPLAUSE

Wow! That's another example of women in charge there. Did it hurt?

She was great to work with. No, it didn't hurt at all. She's very

funny. I don't think I would have been half as funny without her.

It's a very funny show and fun to do. Another wonderful female co-

star we'll ski you with is in Red 2, Helen Mirren. The fabulous Helen

Mirren. We understood the only reason she took that film was

because she had a bit of a crush on you. I had a bit of a crush on

Anthony Hopkins. He was also in Red 2. But Mirren, Dame Helen Mirren.

A rom-com. LAUGHTER Another rom-com. You have got four

films out this year, so which one are you most looking forward to? Is

that too difficult a question? which films are you referring to?

Sin City 2. Red 2. Yes. GI Joe and, of course, A Good Day To Die Hard.

I like Red 2. I'm happy to see that. Are you happy with that title, Red

2? Very easy to understand. LAUGHTER Just the second Red.

you still into your music, Bruce? have taken a break from playing

music. Have you? Why is that? I came to the conclusion that it

was time to let the band get on with their lives. And then I

started to have more kids. should sing to them, you should

sing Under the Boardwalk. I will. We have the clip. Would you like us

to play it or is it going to send you off? Here we go.

# I like the sound of the kaur ow sell. -- carousel

# You can almost taste the hot dogs and French frys they sell

# Under the boardwalk down by the sea yeah

# On a blanket with my baby is where I'll be #

CHEERING Smooth, Bruce! You were having fun

there. I was definitely having fun. Yes, it was a lot of fun. That was

a Temptations song. That was very, very nice. We've got a little

something for you. A little birdie tells us... Give us a blast if you

want to. Would you like Bruce to play that? CHEERING He did it!

Mabel! That's very nice. There's a little fuzz. But have this in your

pocket? No, it was behind the sofa. Just blow it and get it out. There

it is. CHEERING Beautiful. Earlier on we asked you

at home to send in any Die Hard pictures that you. We've had a few

pictures that you. We've had a few in already. What do you think to

ten-year-old Sariq, looking good with his water pistol. This is

Jessica and Amelia, Brucing it up, they said. Goodness me, look at

Phil! Look at that Bruce. He said, "Bruce? Who are ya!" Jonathan

Simpson in his vest. There you go! I'm a bit scared of Jonathan.

should phone in and get him into Die Hard 6. He looks just like me.

Very similar actually. He's like that big Russian. Don't give it

away! There's a little something else for you. We've given you a

harmonica and now here's a little vest. APPLAUSE Try it on for size.

It says, "I went on The One Show and all I got with a this vest."

Thank you so much for coming on. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE And this is

where Bruce will be leaving us. Something to do with an asteroid

but there you are. All the very best with A Good Day To Die Hard. I

hope that title does grow on you. It is out on February 4th --

February 14th tomorrow night in Leicester Square.

Coming up we'll be seeing the stars of The Last Leg. Before that,

today's shocking report into the Mid Staffordshire Health Trust

highlighted a lack of compassion and basic care by nurses. Although

there were serious management failures as well, it says there

needs to be major changes to the way nurses are recurited and

trained. And that's long overdue, according to journalist and

Patterson. My name ace Paterson pafplt I've had breast cancer twice

and had six operations in the last ten years. Like most people I

thought when you were seriously ill or recovering from a painful

operation the nursing staff would be competent or kind. I was wrong.

The nurses told me they were too busy to answer my buzzer or clean

me up, even when I couldn't move. I was made to feel a nuisance. I felt

abandoned by the people who were supposed to care. It is not easy to

complain about a much-loved institution, but when I wrote about

my experiences I had hundreds of e- mails from people with terrible

stories of their own. They still refuse to take in water... Most of

the nursing staff totally unhelpful... Nurses clearly

regarded her as a nuisance. I'm not the only one with a bad experience

at the hands of the NHS. Labour MP Ann Clwyd became emotional in the

Commons when speak out about the care her husband received before he

died. There are increasing complaints about nurses who fail to

show care and compassion to their patients. What exactly will the

Prime Minister do about that? claims she was repeatedly ignored

by the nursing staff when she tried to get their attention for her

husband. I hardly ever saw anybody in the times I really wanted to ask

the questions. I stopped somebody in the corridor, a nurse, one of

the few nurses I saw in almost 18 hours that I sat there. And I asked

why my you had wasn't in intensive care. Her answer was, "Oh, there

are lots of people worse than he is." And walked on. How did that

make you feel? Well, ignored. Absolutely ignored, as though I

didn't exist. And as though he didn't exist. My husband died like

a battery hen and I don't want anybody to be in those conditions

ever again. A spokesperson for the hospital

said it took Ms Clue it's concerns extremely seriously and a full

investigation into the case was under way. Like me, people have

written to Anne with similar experiences. They talk about fairly

simple things, for instance making sure a patient has water to drink

when they need it, that they are helped to eat their food. If they

can't manage it, things that you would expect from everybody calling

themselves a nurse. Last year the Government asked the chief nurse to

come up with a strategy to make nursing more compassionate. Her

three-year plan was published in September but here at Manchester

royal in whichry they've been focusing on care and compassion for

the last five years ago. I think most people would assume that

people in nursing were compassionate. Can you teach it?

You are either compassionate or not. I encourage staff, put yourself in

the patient's place. How would you like to be addressed, what

assistance would you like? All the old-fashioned things. Sometimes are

They use patients feed back to shape their nursing practice.

check you are all right and you don't need anything. I'm helping

out with the new ward round. Every system -- patient is checked every

few hours. They are very friendly the staff. Very helpful. They are

treating you like a person and not just like a patient on a bed?

Just like a person. Yeah, they were lovely. Treating patients like

people should be the easest thing in the world. Today's report into

the Stafford Hospital scandal calls for improved support for

compassionate, caring nursing. How does a nurse who goes into the

profession wanting to make people's lives better end up in a situation

where they cannot care? How does that happen? It's unacceptable no

matter what the pressures are. There are occasions when nurses do

get so tired and so worn down with the lack of resource, with the lack

of supervision, with the lack of role modelling. Every day they are

unable to do the work that they know they want to do. Looking after

someone who is ill is one of the most important things anyone can do.

Many nurses are doing it brilliant lism I will never forget the nurses

who were kind to me. It's challenging work. You have to want

to do it. If you don't want to do it, or don't think you can do it

well, then, please, for the sake of all of us do something else. What

has the report said about the level of compassion in the NHS? They said

they need to establish the focus once again, not just for nurses,

right across the NHS. Say, that is our focus. Looking after people,

being compassionate and looking after them. There are ways they

want to make that happen. Talking about an aptitude test when people

are recruited to the NHS to make sure they have the correct values,

attitudes and behaviours and the ability and motivation, this is

quoting directly, to put the welfare of others above their own

interests. Once they have got the right people, that is what they are

talking about, making sure those people have the support that they

need to be compassionate. To do the job well. I suppose that the people

went into the job doing that. What have the nurses said? The Royal

College of Nurseing their Chief Executive said nursing hasn't gone

bad. They are looking at a toxic culture which affects even good

people and their ability to do the job. He talks about cases where

there are large wards and maybe two nurses to deal with 28 patients who

have high levels of need. He is saying, under those circumstances,

you just cannot provide the level of care that you would naturally

hope to. Also, that those nurses haven't been listened to when they

have pointed out that the care that is being given isn't good enough.

We hope these recommendation ks help everybody on all sides. I'm

sure they will -- recommendations can help everybody on all siels.

Time to introduce two guestes who are currently bringing both glmor

and giggles to our weekend telly. One is a sultry star of the hit

Sunday night drama Mr Selfridge. The other is an Aussie comic who

has Friday night audiences laughing all the way to The Last Leg. Let's

see them doing their thing. Miss Love will you sign your photograph

for me, please? Of course I will, dear. And now, could one of you

direct me to Mr Selfridge's office. Of course, Miss, love should you

like to take the stairs or the lift? The lift I should think.

week in which Iran put a monkey into space and Britain put Prince

Charles on to the Tube. One was a lot more confused than the other!

It's Tapp tap and Adam Hills. The first thing you said when you sat

down was, "Bruce Willis"? I know. Bruce Willis has sat here. You are

on his space. I wish I was even half as cool. We were discussing

how cool would it be to come on a set and just leave pauses.

doesn't even have to say anything. You picked a brilliant night to

come. Favourite films, Bruce's films not your own. Every episode

of Moonlighting. David Adison was right here. He got it on with Maddy

Hayes. Before your day? I remember the first Die Hard and watching it

with my brother. You watched it at Christmas and loved every minute of

it. In a vest and PJ bottoms, or maybe that was just me. Has the

audience thinned out? Yes. You have movie friends, but yours are more

furry? Yes. I had the most amazing experience. I submitted my act.

Which was mainly about the Swedish chef. I tend to have jokes about

him. On the night they said there is one joke that is dark for the

Muppets, would you mind dropping it? I thought, no, should Isaac

raifies my art. I tweeted asking what to do. Dara said, "comedy is

truth, but a great way to meet the frog." I walked on after the

Swedish Chef. I did my act. As I went to walk off stage the Swedish

chef took the spoon from me, smacked me with it and went, "oh,

OK." he then gave it back. Ah. All the comics went to the bar and

drank with all the comedians and I sat with the guyes who look after

the Muppets. They are filming in London. Two-days ago I went on set

with them. Kermit is as cool as Bruce. Kermit is good. Have you

nothing Willis. You are starring in Mr Selfridge on Sunday night on ITV.

Some would say it's Downton Abbey on Oxford Street. I'm not sure.

People are obsessed with the comparison between Downton. I don't

know. I think with Downtown it's about reserve and upper classes

verses lower classes and stiff upper lip. Mr Selfridge is more

lavish. How would you describe your character, is she a goodie or a

baddie? I don't know. I think she, she is a showgirl. She is a career

girl. Doing her own thing. This guy turns up in her life and turns

everything upside down. She is a girl of two sides. He has a facade

of glitz and glamour and a darker side. She started off in control

then she let Mr Sem fridge astray a little bit maybe. -- Mr Selfridge a

stray a little bit maybe? It led to her downfall. Is Miss Love a

character? She is based on a French singer. There she is. You have a

wit bit of a look? I have period face, I have been told. I don't

know what that means! It was based a little bit on her and a -- his

own imagination. Do they use the real Exeteror of Selfridges?

They have a mockup and they CGI some of it as well. It's a very

strange experience. You drive in and it's all about bit dusty and

smelly and you go through the doors and you are in that period. How do

you get through the doors with some of the hats you wear. We have some

here. Um. The hats caused me a few problems. You can pick? This is a

step up from what I normally get, which is a hat with corks on it.

That is very fetching. I love it. I'm assuming I look more like Bruce

Willis now. I imagine him going, "I wonder who guy will end up on my

seat." And he's like, "oh, man." works. I'm pulling the chicks.

TV presenter Jasmine Harman has spent years helping her mum cope

with her compulsive hoarding. When we last spoke her mother was having

therapy to take control of her condition. They about to see how

far she has come by tackling a garage full of family history. My

mum is a compulsive hoarder. 9 house I -- the house I grew up was

busting with things that had accumulated over 0 years and and

filled the entire house. The first room we come to is the... Not

living room. In the past two years I have made two documentaries

searching for answers to this condition which affects 5% of

people in the UK. You are not keeping all of these action figure

dolls. I'm keeping those. If that isn't with your agreement, then we

have to fallout. OK. It hasn't been easy, with the help of therapy and

family support, my mum has managed to clear a lot of her things. There

is one more challenge left, my mum's own mother had hoarding

tendencies too. When she pasta way four years ago many of her

possessions were locked into this garage which today needs to be

sorted out. Emptying the garage is really important for lots of

different reasons. I think the biggest one is for closure. For my

mum, especially, who is a hoarder, it's an important step towards

recovery. There is still a fridge in here. There is so much stuff.

When you guys look at this, you probably just see a whole load of

trash. When I look at it, I see potential in things. I suppose, my

mum was like that, a lot. She saw potential in all these chairs that

are in here. The broken ones and the fixed ones. When I was growing

up it was so claustrophobic. I didn't want to invite friends over.

I couldn't understand why she was hoarding and not giving things away

or using them. I'm going to start you a pile over there of things

that are going to go in your van. This is all recycling. I would like

to take the dinner service. Home. Home. When you buy a bare lamp

shade to make one, how expensive they are? No, I don't. I would like

to take that home, please. What is it? Why? To make the air smell nice

in the house. What about things like that sofa bed there, not very

useful or comfortable. Yes, it is. Feel how springy it is. Oh. It's

not comfortable at all. This is what hoarders do. They save things

for the future. What do you think was the trigger for your hoarding?

Nearly all hoarders experience a loss. I also have, like the loss of

my father when I was young. The loss of my toys from moving from

one country to another. I think loss has a big part to play in it.

Why do you want to give to charity? I need it for home. I have been

without it for so many years. Let's just check if it works. Whenever I

come into this sort of situation I can't function. Would it be an idea

to just say, OK, these are the things I want, the rest of it I

will let a company come in and clear it? I know it's scary?

Without going through it first? Oh. It's up to you. It may not look

like it, but actually the change in my mum has been huge. OK, it's not

perfect, but she's worked so hard and, in May of this year, hoarding

disorder will be officially recognised. Hopefully, now what

will happen is people will be able to get more support. I think, with

Jasmine's help, I've decided that I can't really keep everything. I'm

just going to let her sell it to That's it, well done. And Jasmine

and Vasoulla are here now. Well done, Vasoulla! APPLAUSE How did

you feel watching that? It was quite traumatising. It is still

difficult to get rid of things. I haven't seen that before, so...

Obviously quite emotional. How much did you actually keep in the end?

kept just a car-bootful. How big was the car, Vasoulla? He's caught

you! A people carrier. With the seats down. Quite a large boot. But

a massive step in the right direction, Jasmine? A massive step.

For mum to be able to let go of things that belonged to her mum was

hard. We still miss her but those things don't bring that person back.

She's still in our memories, in our hearts. And you've learned from

your mum that your gran was a hoarder as well? I didn't realise

that when mum was younger she was quite embarrassed about her house,

much as I was as a teenager. My mum's home was full of stuff in

every corner. It was all tidy and covered up, but there was no space

to move. Vasoulla, how did it feel hearing Jasmine say she felt

embarrassed to bring people home from school to the house? I wasn't

conscious of how embarrassed my children felt, because it seemed

normal to me. Did you feel embarrassed when your mum did it?

did, but I didn't realise I was going down the same road, how

embarrassing it was for Jasmine at the time or my other children.

having said, that but have a lovely breakthrough this Christmas? We did.

We had Christmas at mum's house for the first time in ten years, which

was absolutely fantastic. There was space for us all, 11 of us, and

four dogs, to get in the house. you feel lifted now? Emptying that

garage has made me feel a weight off my mind. Has it really? Yes. It

was difficult getting rid of the stuff but you can't keep everything

for forever. Jas gentleman, you've got a request from our viewers?

think a lot of people out there are not necessarily compulsive hoarders

but have got garages full of sentimental items and possessions

they no longer use. If this sounds like you and you would like some

help to let go, we would love to hear your stories and see your

pictures. Get in touch at [email protected]. Thank you

both and thank you for sharing your story with us. Much appreciated.

There are links on our website. During the Paralympics Adam's show

The Last Leg brought humour to disability issues. The Games may be

over but the show goes on. It is back live on Friday nights on

Channel 4. Is it OK to ask if Josh Widdecombe sat on one leg

throughout last week's show because he's a bit embarrassed to have two?

LAUGHTER I'm not trying to trick you. I'm

not hoping to get a Blue Badge. Next week I'm going to turn up with

shoes on my knees like a Hobbit. Adam, for those who don't know, you

were born without a right foot? my right foot is missing. My mum,

when I was a kid I would grow out of my foot every 18 months and had

to get a new one, so she had a wardrobe full of my old artificial

feet, which went up in size for 15- 20 years ago. Eventually she

realised you can't keep a wardrobe full of prosthetic legs, so she

took them to in a trailer. Is it OK to find that funny? Of course. This

is the whole point. You do feel it gives you more licence to make fun

of those with a disability because you have one yourself? And how do

you keep on the right side? I would hate to think we ever made fun of

people with a disability, but there are jokes to be had. I was in

Beijing in 2008 and I saw the great sense of humour. Paralympians are

as curious about each other as able-bodied people. We knew we had

questions that we weren't sure to ask. Is it OK to ask why some

people are competing, because they don't look disabled? Yes, that was

OK, because some people had mild cerebral palsy. We said if you are

not sure, tweet us. And then a question, is it OK to ask a man

with no arms how he gets out of the pool? And that tweet came from the

Captain of the US wheelchair rugby team. They were watching and

wondering how does a guy with no arms get out of the pool? Once you

get past those, you start watching the Paralympics and you realise how

amazing it is. The Paralympics were a huge success. One of the things

everybody kept talking about was the legacy it would leave. Do you

think that legacy has continued? a degree I think it has. I was

talking to Hannah Cockcroft who won two gold medals at the Paralympics

and she said she feels when she's out and about in a wheelchair

people don't look at her with pity but as wow, that person can really

achieve something. Two weeks after the Paralympics the people giving

out gold medals consider cutting disability benefits. I hope that

legacy does continue. There seems to be a fascination with

prosthetics. I was psycheling other day and a -- I was cycling the

other day and a guy came up to me. There's a fascination. Alex Brooker,

who co-hosts with me. He has no right foot. When we were kids you

would never see a cool prosthetic. I would try and cover it up and

during the Paralympics Jody Cundy from Great Britain had a proper

Paralympics GB, the Union Flag on it. We had a bet and I lost the bet,

so I had to get mine painted. so I had to get mine painted.

look? Of course you can. And with my name on the side in

case I lose it. But Alex was jealous, he said I

wish I lost the bet, as that's the coolest prosthetic I've ever seen.

A rock climber out there said he wouldn't go back if he had the

choice, as he can put so many attachments on, it is better.

and I said if you had the choice of a foot or hand transplant, would

you? And both of us said no way. I'm happy with my life, so why

would I want to change that? Last slast on Friday at 9.30pm on

Channel 4 -- last last. -- The Last Leg. Now, Bruce Willis

isn't the only action man we've got for you tonight. Soon we'll be

meeting two Shaolin kung fu masters who'll be showing us their

incredible skills. Seriously, they're fast as lightning. In fact

Sometime as hit record can take everyone by surprise, not least the

people who made it. So how does a track supposed to be a B side where

the vocal took just ten minutes to record which set karate chops to a

disco beat become one of the biggest-selling singles, beating

the beat approximatelys at their best? There is no doubt that in the

summer of 1974 everyone was kung fu fighting. The time was almost

perfect, with all the films coming, with Bruce Lee, club started

springing up. All the kids wanted to learn this style of fighting. It

it was timing. Karl Douglas was a keen sportsman and martial arts fan

himself. He was on crutches recovering from a footballing

injury. One night I went to Ronnie Scott's to watch the great Oscar

Pietersen. He kept playing these notes and I said to a friend of

mine who was a very good guitarist, what was that? What do you call

that? He said,I said could it be classed as oriental? I said yes.

What are you up to? I said there's something going around in my head.

I don't know what it is yet but I'm getting these ideas. I came into

Wardour Street on my crutches and I saw these kids doing this kicking

and dancing. And I said to a friend, "You know what? Everybody is kung

fu fighting." It was an inspiration I had. At the time Karl was working

with a music producer, one of the pioneers of disco music. They were

looking for a B side. I said, "I've been working on something.

Something about kung fu fighting. ""we decided to go into the studio

with a great - God rest his soul - arranger and musician. He also

worked with Shakatak. He wanted to know this thing I had. I said you

might think it is crazy but there's this little hook which goes... And

then these string sounds like a stream of locusts. And then there's

going to be soock "hoo" and "hah!" like the sound of the gang working

on the chain. And you were literally sing every part of the

song to the arranger? Yes and he transformed it into music. I said,

"Please tell me if it works. Fit doesn't, let me know. This is

driving me crazy." I had been sing it four months and I knew it inside

out. I thought yes, it is sounding just like it was doing in my head.

But the track was still destined for B side obscurity until a sharp

record company executive spotted its potential. The head of A and R

wanted to hear it. He said, when he heard the ho-ho-hos" the chairs on

the back of his neck stood up. He said it was going to be a monster.

And a monster it was. Number one around the world and it became one

of the best-selling singles of all time. Still rerecorded and played

nearly 40 years later. Including this version for the award-winning

animated feature film Kung If you Up and down daft. I'm proud. It is

my trademark. It sounds like it was recorded only yesterday and it

transsends all the different ages. Many people tell me it will be

going long after I've passed away. In every country they can relate to

I can't believe he was on crutches when they did. That is everybody

ready for a bit of kung fu fighting. We're joined by two masters of

Shaolin kung fu - Shi Fu Hung Wei and Shi Fu Hung Shen, and some of

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 72 seconds

Oh yes! Well done. Trem doubts. Wasn't that something?

Many thanks to our Shaolin masters, Zoe Tapper, Adam Hills and, of
