07/10/2013 The One Show

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

Keeping us company is the Bolton boy who went from Phoenix Nights to

become Mr Saturday night. As he might say, let the guest see this so

far. It is Paddy McGuinness! I am not very good at accents. Sit

down, sit down. You don't have to stand. This is what the BBC look

like. It is nice and cosy. I it. Your cameraman is the cameraman of

taking me out. -- I like it. Let's get him on there. There he is! Give

us a wave! When he started, he had black hair. That is what the show

has done for him. You are known for your catchphrases.

There are loads of them on the show that I. -- that I like. When I came

up with those ideas, they came off the cuff. It sort of stark. -- it

sort of stuck. The guy I write with, we will decide what we can use. We

have a whiteboard in the studio. The audience right and down when we are

going out. 90% of them you can't use. The ones you can, we keep them.

Well, clean ones tonight only. That is a given.

You are taking Take Me Out out of the studio. We will talk about that

later. First, with money being so tight in the NHS, if it's right for

your hospital to gamble tens of tight in the NHS, if it's right for

thousands of pounds by going into the beauty business? -- is it right.

Alex Riley has been investigating. Paddy, lavender?

In a place like this, you are going to hope you will feel better. In

this hospital, there is a chance you might look better, too. It is the

first hospital to develop and sell brew tea products on the open

market. -- beauty products. 25 years ago, the hospital developed a cream

for burns and scars. The moisturiser attracted fans including the staff,

who loved it so much they suggested attracted fans including the staff,

turning it into a moneymaking brand. After numerous prototypes,

the cream was born this year. The trust has already invested £80,000

in the product. Was it money well spent? At a factory in Hampshire,

the cream is rolling off the production line. How many staff were

involved? We have had 65 product testing staff. They are trying it

out on themselves. They are happy to do it. They are doing it in their

own time. They are filling in questionnaires. They are sending

them back to me. We are proud this has come from Salisbury Hospital. So

who is looking after the patient's? They are being looked after by the

many nurses who are doing a great job. So it is never that somebody is

laying on a bed feeling terrible and the doctor has to go to a focus

group? Know, everybody is doing it in their own time! They think it is

fantastic. The trust's finance director is also at the factory

today. He is going to deliver the first products to a local supplier.

Is this a gamble with public money? We don't believe so. We are careful

about how we use public money, and clearly we have responsibilities

with that. We take this seriously. We would invest in any initiative of

this type unless we could see clearly that it was going to make a

good return. We have already sold over 10,000 of the tubes. We know

that when we get to 20,000, we are well into profit. So far you have

invested £80,000. How money operations could you do for

£80,000? Converting it into hip operations,

you could say that is 11 operations. NHS England say the trust is one of

the most innovative in the country, and it certainly seems that is the

case. Today knowledge, no other hospital as ever developed, produced

and sold a non-medical product purely to make money. -- to their

knowledge. The cream is already being stocked into two other

hospitals and a local business. This is the first one with the

dispenser. Let's see what it looks like.

But the UK's largest trade union, Unison, is concerned about the

impact on patient care and public funds.

There is a different between the type of products that have come out

of medical need. That is different from investing public money in

trying to market ties a moisturising cream. What next? Her fume peels --

perfume? Tablets? It is diverging staff time away from what should be

their primary function, which is patient care.

We would never put the hospital at risk. We would never jeopardise our

prime function, to treat patients and treat them well. We are all

struggling. We have a savings target of 5% this year. That means, for us

can we have to save about £9 million. What the sales of sunflower

cream will do is that it will support areas that might otherwise

be subject to more cuts. If the product is successful, it

could be on sale in shops and hospitals all over the country. It

will pave the way for other trusts to create their own commercial

brands. But we will have to wait and see if others will follow their

lead. Paddy, how do you feel about this?

If the money is going back to the NHS, it can only be a good thing. It

is when companies, they will go, 70% is going to such a thing... If the

profits are reinvested, you can't go wrong. All right! He is keen! He

would like to put it on my back. In the supermarket, the only thing is,

you are going down, it is expensive products and then the NHS. Go on.

Oh, look at this! Women will know that the moisturising field is a

minefield. You can spend a bomb, up to £135. Or you can spend £2. Is

there any difference? At the end of the day, no. They have oil and

water, which traps moisture in your skin. It gets rid of wrinkles. Then

you have something like this role, which holds the cream onto the skin.

-- like an agent. Strangers in the night, exchanging glances... !

Scientifically, there is very little evidence. But it is nice when

somebody rubs it into your skin. He has got to give us some facts

here! We got some health news today. You will be interested in this. Look

at those guns. These old things? Walking can save people's lives.

Research has shown that if everybody did 20 minutes of exercise a day,

and that is walking, it could be gardening, whatever, it would cut

the numbers of deaths by 37,000, which is a big figure. I did an

experiment where I ate a full fat in this breakfast. A couple of hours

later, they drag out my blood. You could see the lay-off at. -- delay

of fat. The next day I did it again and there was a third of the fact.

of fat. The next day I did it again -- the fact. I used to work in a

gym. People don't realise that. They think they have got to do exercise,

go for a run. If you walk every day come it does you a world of good.

And quickly, Michael, you are back on TV on Thursday, covering a whole

range of issues. Give us a flavour. on TV on Thursday, covering a whole

We did a random survey on the street and down horrible things on the

hands of the British public. We looked at things like aspirin. We

know that it cuts the risk of heart disease and some cancers. So who

should be doing it and when? How much water should you drink every

day? Also, an interesting one... And this link thing. Yes, we did a study

where we cut down people's sleep and it had to Matic Fx on their health.

-- pneumatic impact on the health. Trust Me I'm a Doctor starts on

Thursday at 8pm. This week the Royal Mills will

produce a special 50p piece. -- Royal Mint. Here it is. This is an

early collectors' addition. It Royal Mint. Here it is. This is an

features I previously unreleased design. Angelica has been to find

out more. She met the woman we have had in our pockets for years.

The campaign to get more women on our currency celebrated the Bank of

England's decision this year to put Jane Austin on the £10 note. 40

years ago, a very secret mission of curd to get the original woman onto

our currency. -- curd. In the 60s, Britain was facing a monetary

revolution. Decimalisation would mean the end of shillings and

farthings, and inward come newly designed five, ten and 50p pieces.

Until the policy was announced, any new designs were shrouded in

secrecy. While gossiping surrounded the new

coins, the Royal Mint was charged with getting them designed. Graham

Dyer was an office assistant at the Royal Mint went decimalisation was

first mooted. It was a great time to be around. You thought it was part

of something important. It was such a huge change to the British

coinage, changing 1000 years of history overnight. It seemed better

to proceed on a confidential basis. While the public remain oblivious,

SC could competition was held to design the new decimal coins. -- a

SC could competition was held to secret competition. Critical

Ironside, an artist who previously designed modern -- medals for the

Mint, was one of the entrance. If anybody came to the house,

everything had to be covered up. We had people for dinner once. We went

to make copy, and suddenly we had a shriek. You are designing the

decimals! He said, you mustn't say a word to anybody.

After months of subterfuge, Christopher was told in 1953 that is

designed had one. This is the original series. This is a familiar

figure of battalion. This is St George. -- Britannia. But these

coins would never be used by the public. When the government

announced the move to decimalisation, James Callaghan

scrapped Christopher's coins and called for a second design

competition. This time it was open to the public.

He received a telephone call and was asked to come in. The deputy master

sat him down in a chair and porting the most enormous gin and tonic. He

said, I am sorry but I'm afraid you haven't won after all. It must have

been disappointing. It was, it was quite a knock. Within 24 hours, he

decided that he would enter the open competition, and he said I am going

to do even better. He entered the public competition

anonymously. His first design was Britannia. There was one job

Christopher could not do himself. To get the perfect design, he

needed a model to play the role of Britannia. Jean Ironside was about

to play a pivotal role. She was to be Britannia. This is where

Christopher would say, could you spare a minute, I am working on a

new design for Britannia? I would sit down. He would find a ruler,

something for me to hold as the Trident. He would say hold out your

left hand. He would -- he would put paper into my hand and say turn

your head, sometimes lean backwards, sometimes lean forwards. In 1968 a

nightmare came to an end for Christopher when, six years after

starting the design, he was announced the winner of the decimal

design competition for the second time. I can see one of 50 pence

piece. You could be Britannia. I was!

I recognise there now. We will not leave Jean there. She is at the

Royal Mint. They are going to produce one of the original designs

by Christopher for the 50 pence piece. Live on the show, Jean will

receive the first coin to come off the press. We will join her later.

Let's talk about taking Take Me Out out. You have a live version. We

are doing four nights at the Birmingham NEC. It is like on

television with 30 goals. A guy comes down -- women. We are

bringing back 15 women from the past series. On the day, they can

come with friends, to audition to past series. On the day, they can

come on the stage that night with me. Everybody in the audience will

have a light. When it gets to the last two, he picks one of them live,

and I will say all, you can pick somebody from the audience and take

and I will say all, you can pick a chance. We have made a massive

club in the arena. There will be a big party. It is a Christmas show.

For groups to come down and have a laugh.

You know how this feels. I have done it. Have you got it? We

could not afford it. You could not afford God's gift! I know times are

hard at the BBC! I was a Life Guard and in the staff room, I was 20

years old. Lifeguards were wanted for the television show. Eight of

us went down. Only I got on. At the time, I was going yes, now, I am

like this. I had black silk boxer shorts and spiral curly hair. Every

girl's dream. That is the beauty. Now we are doing Take Me Out. When

the guy is nervous. I say trust me, silk boxer shorts, I have been

there. It is mad I am doing the show now. The beauty of the show

for me is the ad-lib side of it. 80%. When I am doing it live in

Birmingham, that is going to be tricky. Sometimes I come out with

something that will not make Saturday-night television. I will

have to be on my toes. It is a certain age range. In the past, we

have had men of 60 years old. And ladies in their Sixties. I like

that. We are talking about doing a special for pensioners. Our viewers,

not that you are all old... Back pedalling! There will be older

single people wanting to have a go. You even have lavender all the

show! Wether's! With doing a special for elderly

people, I think they have a bad press. People think they have

always been old but they have had a life and been around the world and

had amazing arrears and done more than we have done. It is great to

get them on. They are still looking for love. The entertainment at the

end will be brilliant. I am looking forward to doing that. I used to

like to watch Blind Date back in the day. They would do the OAP

special. What we will have to do is to put a stair lift on for when

they come down. Take it too far. I have gone too far. Take Me Out live

is at Birmingham NEC from 6th December until 9th December. In has

produced two engagements and a baby, but there are stranger places to

meet the love of your life than a TV show. We are asked you to tell

us about how you met your partner. -- we asked you. Here are some of

the couples who have found love in a hopeless place. A I and Nicola. I

am Richard. 12 years ago we found love by sending an incorrect test -

- text message. We exchanged numbers. I sent a text message.

There was a reply saying, text somebody who gives a damn. The

numbers were identical. Except the last two with the other way round.

I sent a text message back and we were back and forth all afternoon.

He described himself... Tall and blonde! At the time, he was. I

looked forward to hearing the beeping on the mobile phone. It was

nice. It would make my heart jump. We arranged to meet. I borrowed my

Rebecca -- I borrowed my mother's car. I

felt comfortable with him. We went for a drink and that was it. And

now these years later, beautiful children. I am Susan. I

unexpectedly found love with my husband 41 years ago. The night I

met my husband my sister and I went to a tennis club dance. She paid to

go in and went to the ladies' lavatory to open the windows so I

could climb in and save on the ticket price. Unfortunately, they

had bouncers on the door that evening and my husband was one of

them. A couple of us went to the car park to make sure nothing was

going on. We asked her to come back out through the window. We

suggested that she left. Fortunately, two weeks later, we

went to the local pub and there he was. He offered to buy a drink. By

the end of the evening I gave you was. He offered to buy a drink. By

my telephone number and you offered to take me to the dance legitimate

Lee. I am Nicky. I am magic Martin. We found love unexpectedly. When

magic Martin put a spell on me. I was doing a magic show. A woman was

batting in and organising the children. I went to see if he was

appropriate to have at the Brownie pack. He was friendly. And good

looks. Of course. My wit and personality. When I finished, I put

the rabbit in her lap which meant she had to stay around. The first

date, we were taking the rabbit for a walk. It was a bizarre first date.

Soon after that, Nicky became my glamorous assistant. We got married

and ten years later the magic is still in our relationship. We asked

for extraordinary circumstances. How did you propose to Christine?

It was Christmas Eve. We open our presents. I said open the car last.

She opened the card and it said, to my fiancee. She said I am not your

fiancee. I said you are now, you my fiancee. She said I am not your

lucky creature! It was brilliant. It was so nice. We had the fire and

the Christmas tree and the family came on Christmas Day and the --

and we told them. It was fantastic. Earlier, we met Britannia, also

known as Jean Ironside. She is at the Royal Mint. She is waiting for

the presses to print her late husband's design for the 50 pence

piece. Are you ready to make money? We are going to make lots of money.

This is made in Cardiff at the Royal Mint. We are almost ready to

press a new 50 pence piece to commemorate Christopher, really,

and how are you feeling? It is wonderful. Christopher would be

amazed. I wish he was here to see what was going on. What would he

have said? I do not know. He always felt that when the job was done,

that was the end of it and nothing else would happen in that direction,

but he would be so bad. This is a big moment for you, and emotional.

You work at the Royal Mint. What happens? This is the press room.

This is where we put the head and tail on the coin. You make coins

for all over the world? About 65 countries. How many 50 pence pieces

will we press? 5 million. When will it go into circulation? We have in

the next few weeks. -- within. You have a special coin being printed

tomorrow. It is the christening of Prince George. It will be revealed

this week. The Queen and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge love the

design. One of the coins is were -- is worth £5,000 because it is made

from gold. And now, you are going to see the first 50 pence piece

press. Wonderful, wonderful. This is a special day because it is your

birthday. You will have that coin. We also have this for you. Oh, no!

That is because you are the original Britannia. And this is

your coin. Make sure you look out for the new 50 pence piece. It will

be their very soon. We have for the new 50 pence piece. It will

4,999,999 left press. We will handover. Ready.

That is wonderful. Paddy, so that you do not feel left out. We

pressed this. Are we done? We are nearly done. It has been nice. Good

luck with everything happening with Take Me Out live. Only the one side,

typical BBC! Tomorrow, Downton Abbey writer Julian Fellowes will

be hair.
