08/01/2016 The One Show

Zbli am so looking forward to meeting Dermot O'Leary. I've not

seen him since we left the X Factor. Lees a fine fellow of a plan. He

stood in for me on Children in Need. Now time for the One Show with Alex

Jones and tonight's guest presenter. Gosh, how many people on the back of

this bike? Just the one. Let's do it.

Welcome to the One Show with me Alex Jones and Terry Wogan, Louis Walsh,

Ant and Dec, we can even have the Prime Minister tonight. As David

Cameron: No, I don't accept that. We've had a reshuffle and Matt's

gone. He'll be back on Monday, that's the good news. All we want

this Friday night is the lovely Rory Bremner.

APPLAUSE I'm working on the voice. You're not the only one on tonight's

show with a talent for impersonations. Our guest has been

exploring his wild, romantic side. It's Dermot Poldark O'Leary. It's

time to face the South Atlantic. I need to keep the tin mine open.

That's part of the publicity for the National Television Awards. We will

talk more about them later on and I will be bribing you. Yeah, sure.

We're nominated! On Children in Need you had to step in. Terry Wogan was

ill on the day. Terry was sick. I was - I was filming this new show in

South Africa. I was back for a week. I was leaving in 48 hours, I had all

my business done for the week, great, just I've got the night

offment then I got the call. Then they went, "How do you fancy doing

Children in Need with 12 hours' notice? The script is full of

Terry-isms. "There's enough tomfoolery to shake a stick at.

Don't do voices tonight! We had to rewrite a lot of it. You go back a

long way. Yeah Radio 2 is just over there. He was there, lovely to me

when I first started, so sweet. When we did the dance-a-thon, he came

down and did two thirds of the floral dance and then put down his

microphone and went, "You know the rest." Where are you going?

Brilliant. You've got a new show. You were in South Africa doing it,

it's called The Getaway Car. You put people up for driving challenges.

Right, so, it's a very fun hour of television. It's, if I pitched it as

Total Wipeout behind the wheel of a car meets Gogglebox. When you watch

Gogglebox you see how people are in their front room. The last battion

of I'll behave how I want is behind the wheeled of a car. You get people

who supposedly love each other, but behind the wheel of a car and they

speak to each other in the most intolerable way possible S then four

rounds of challenges. Then at the end you get a chance of ?10,000. We

thought to pit you against myself, obviously being the One Show, we

don't have the budget. Later we're going head to head in... The bumper

car. Nice. Are you up for it? Yeah, can I have the green one? We thought

so. Joining us later is our favourite foodie, it's Nadiya from

Bake Off. You can't keep calling her that. I know! For a bit of

television history. Do you recognise this couple? 30 years ago they

looked different. You may have been one of the 40 million people would

tuned in to watch them live out the highs and lows of their first year

of marriage in a ground breaking documentary. What happened to the

couple who made reality TV history? Lucy's been to find out.

The 1980s, a time of big phones, big strikes and big changes on our

telly. Reality TV was in its infancy. Yet one couple from Wales

was enticed into answering a newspaper ad to appear in the first

major fly on the wall documentary The Marriage.

# We're starting together # We're taking a chance on what we

feel... # These days reality TV romances seem

to fade before the credits roll, but 30 years after the original

programme aired, Mr and Mrs Adams-Jones are still going strong.

So congratulations on still being married. That's such an odd thing to

say. Do people say that to you? Yes. Lots of people say, oh, "Oh, my God,

it's you, are you still married? And I'm surprised that we are. She was

20. She was gorgeous. Well now she's 50... She still is! She's 52... 51!

I don't want your first argument over this. We didn't know it was

going to be a documentary about one couple. We didn't know that even

when we were offered it. The programme followed the first year of

the couple's married life and gave the audience unprecedented Royistic

-- voyeuristic opportunities to watch them. Wasn't it overwhelming?

It wasn't until the launch of the programme that we realised what we

had let ourselves into. It was already too late because we'd

finished by then. The series ended ominously when Mark wept on a rugby

tour with an ex-girlfriend. No-one expected the marriage to last. Why

would he do that, why would he take it while he was being filmed. He

knew I was going to find out. If I was going to go away and have an

elicit affair, I'm certainly not going to take a film crew and

somebody to say, "Can you do that again. We didn't get it on the first

take." These are bachelor albums aren't they? I never thought of it

that way. This is relent of pictures with half naked ladies wrapped round

you. You were quite a ram, to put not too fine a point on it. We were

close with the crew. For the first year of our marriage, we weren't

really on our own. We didn't really experience life on our own till the

crew went away. People were so passionate about this programme and

followed your every move. We weren't prepared for it. There Spitting

Image puppets of you. How was it for you, love. Nice, love. How about

you? Fairly good. Can we do it again? Over the years, I've been

recogniseds. I got rid of my Village People moustache. Would we do it

again? Yeah, probably. We went into it for a unique experience and we

certainly got that. 30 years on, it's still here.

# Starting together... # Thank you so much to Marc and

Karen. And still together. Well... One of the biggest tests of any

couple is getting behind the wheel of a car. As you were explaining,

this is what happens in your new show. It's testing people to their

limit because driving together rarely a good idea. So mean. That's

the gem behind it. It's a lovely hour of telly that doesn't take

itself too seriously. We hope that when people watch it, they'd want to

be on it. People turn into different people when they're behind the

wheel. Completely. It must have been such fun. Have you got favourites

moments from the show? It's always how you see the couples progress.

There's three rounds. The first round is this enormous cometic

obstacle -- cometic obstacle course. So you put on the blind fold. Oh, my

goodness. That's great. It's couple's graveyard. I don't know

left from right. You'd be surprised how many people don't know left from

right and how many people finish their sentences with the word

"right". Did anyone get divorced during the show? There's been a

couple of very close calls in terms of people falling out,

behind-the-scenes. You'd hear, "How's so-and-so, oh, they... "

Let's look at one couple in a lovely pink car who come close to having a

bit of an accident. Team pink are about to cross the bridge of doom.

Hang on, what's happening here. Why are the windscreen wipers on?

Interesting question. We can't answer that for you. You put them

on. Oh, my gosh. Oh, my God. Slow, slow, slow. That's it. That's, it

right. This one? Yeah, go on then. That's it. Lovely dismount.

APPLAUSE We loved them. What was their

relationship? They started fiance. I kept saying, "How's it going? Yeah,

of course, it is, he said. We're not sure, she said. It makes Mr and Mrs

Look a bit tame. Yes meets Total Wipeout. It was a laugh to do. The

third round, the first two rounds go like that. The third round is

brilliant because it's, you're in a small mini or something. At the end

of the lane there are two answers to one question in the shape of big

walls. You drive through the wall, which is a lot of fun, what you

think is the right answer. The two other couples are next to you doing

exactly the same thick, you want to be -- thing, you want to be fast and

right. We have a great moment where the question was: The most common

spoken language in the world is Mandarin or English. Three, two,

one, go. A Chinese flag and UK flag. There's a great Indian couple and

she is this little like fire brand. All the way she's going, "It's

Chinese. It's Chinese. Go through the Chinese flag." He doesn't say a

word, ignores her, goes through the UK flag and gets it wrong. The

clue's in the wall, isn't it. What about whether you and your wife get

in the car? Disaster. Is it? No, we don't argue a lot, but our only

arguments are directional. We both think we have a better sense of

direction and I've got a better sense of direction. You just leave

her and marry the sat nav. That's easier. You're into vehicles from a

young age? Yeah, I'm certainly no petrol head but I'm an enthusiast.

You like machinery? There you are. I mean, I think it's very good. I was

overwhelmed by heavy military wear. The only way to do this is to be

quite camp. Where was that? Tiananmen Square? Very brave. Due

pass your test first time? I did. I passed my car test first time bike

test second time. Did you pass first time? Ahem... No. But to be fair

somebody who robbed a Post Office taught me the first time. You should

have been fast then. Then I had somebody who was very good. That's a

big bone of contention that you just brought up is who on the show ends

up driving. Because halfway through the first round we always have

someone in the passenger seat saying I should have driven, this is a

disaster. Then they start resenting the person they love most in the

world because they're driving. It sounds brilliant. The Getaway kan

car January 16, 6. 50pm on BBC One. The series was filmed in Cape Town

and we know how much you enjoy the local cuisine. You will love this.

It's not just South Africa where you find great food. There's a continent

of flavours to explore and it's coming here.

In the UK we can enjoy food from all corners of the globe. Take a stroll

along Britain's high streets and you can do a tour of the world through

its restaurants but there's one continent that is severely

underrepresented and it's not Antarctica. While some of us might

stretch to a tajine, with around 50 African countries there's much more

to explore. The young cooks of the groundnut supper club are on a

mission to bring African tastes to the great British public. There are

three of us with different heritages across parts of Africa. That helps

us to call upon a wide variety of dishes. Jacob crew up in southern

and east Africa. Yemi has Nigerian heritage and runs African music

events. Duvall is an artist and designer with family hailing from

Sierra Leone. We decided to do a restaurant together. That

represented into the idea of a pop-up supper club. The supper club

format of regular events in different locations avoids the

expensive overheads that come with a new restaurants. It means an ever

changing mix of customers. Tonight is part of a season of events at the

18th century hall near London's Tower Bridge where they hosted their

first ever supper club. The format works really well with African food

because it is about sharing. There are, particularly West African

restaurants around old Kent roads. They're largely serving their own

community of people. We're trying to broaden the outreach of African

foods. What's on the menu? We've got groundnut soup, classic of ours.

Made with peanuts as well. It's used across the continent. A spinach,

sage, lime, green chilli, fried mackerel, smoked carrot and mackerel

pate, pop granite, green mango and sesame. A lot of the recipes are as

you'd eat it if you travelled to Africa. What are the differences

between the east and west? The East Coast has a lot of influences from

the Arab region and Indian regions. The West Coast is South America and

southern American states and Caribbean and the coast is a lot of

fish. Tonight's crowd are a mixture of those trying African food for the

first time and some who really know their onions. It was my birthday and

I said let's all go. What do you think of the footed? It's -- Food?

Amazing. The mackerel is phenomenal, Strong flavours, colours as well.

I've eaten southern African food as well, often it's heavy but this is

light and bright, fried mackerel, fresh. Carrot and smoked fish.

There's a brilliant green, zingy relish, which is gorgeous. Do you

think it's a shame that people haven't discovered food from Africa

I think so. I hope this will highlight African food. As the final

courses come out, I catch up with our hosts. It seems like a room full

of happy people. Are you happy with how it's gone? Very content. It's

been smooth. Really enjoyed it so far.

We have always been very willing to adopt and adapt dishes. I think

there is time for some African dishes to find their way into the

British repertoire. Talking of food, as if by magic, Nadiya is here.

Lovely to see you. Happy New Year. You are a fan of that food. They are

fab. I have got the book. They love it. What is different? They have got

lots of recipes, some easy and some difficult, which is perfect for my

brother, if he is feeling lazy, or if he wants to take time, a bit of

everything. Even your brother can do it. Is he watching? We have seen

lots of Asian and Mediterranean food at still the favourite is Indian and

Chinese. Bangladeshi food is very different in Bangladesh. I cannot

understand it, you go to an Indian restaurant, it says Bangladeshi

cuisine, you go in, it does not taste like what I have learned to

cook. A lot of cream, a lot of tomato. There is a lot of space

cooking and then adding of proteins. It tastes quite similar and

Anglicised. It is not what I was used to. You have brought a dish in.

Bangladeshi dish. We will have a taste. You've made this for us. It

is fish. Yes, you serve it with rice. You are not normally a fish

person. I am not. I like tinned fish. What is wrong with that? I

like a tuna sandwich. It is nice? I am going to be out for five minutes.

Me too. What New World flavours are going to be big in 2016? There is

always a trend, whether it sticks, we do not know. This is in a stone

ball, with rice, seasonal veg and a fried egg on top. It looks very raw.

Do they do a lot of raw food or pickled food? Yes, a lot of spices.

This is a Norwegian dish, a couple of types of white fish with potato

flour. My wife is Norwegian so we've had this a couple of times. There

she is. They have a speciality, and I really like the pudding. They do

another thing, I'm not sure how they make it, it is dried fish which they

re-hydrate. The texture is quite gel applied. It is not just the food but

the way we cook it. What techniques will there be? 2015 was all about

spiralling. I just spiral my finger. It is great if you have a juicer but

charring is in this year. It is about burning vegetables, burning

cucumbers. If you can call that cooking... Great. Doughnuts, that is

what we are interested in. They will be in this year. Unusually flavoured

doughnuts. I've made some doughnuts with Parma violet filling. Do you

like Parma violet? I've never had it in a doughnut. You have not just who

loads of sweets in their, have you? It is a doughnut with Parma violet.

The other thing we've got in common is we are both nominated for an NTA

this year. You are hosting. You're trying to say that I am not

nominated. And and debt are -- Ant Dec are nailed on. You open the door

and they are all staring at me, you don't have one of these. We are

nominated so we would really like you to Ford for us. It would be

brilliant. It is a bit soon for the trophy

cabinet. Sorry. The NTA awards are on the 20th of January. Shortly we

are going outside, to go head to head. You're going to lose. Nobody

knows more about losing than Nick Leeson. He wants to warn others not

to make the mistakes he did. The Chancellor has ordered an enquiry

into the collapse of Britain's oldest merchant bank. It is a

specific incident centred on one rogue trader in Singapore. I am Nick

Leeson and 20 years ago I was headline news. I spent 4.5 years in

prison and the movie was made of my life. I love Asia, anyone can make

it. My irresponsible actions brought down Barings bank and I will forever

be known as the rogue trader. Today I live in Galway in the West of

Ireland and I am giving my life lecture to a group of finance and

economics students at the university year. First, I'm going back to win

it all began. This is Watford high Street. I was born and raised here.

My mother was a nursing assistant. She was the motivation for me to

better myself in life. With her encouragement I got a job at the

Queen's bank. I was 18 when I arrived here, fresh from Watford. It

is strange coming back to this area. It harks back to a time when I was

embarking on a career that I wanted to succeed at. The biggest lesson I

learned in the city was there was lots of opportunity. That combined

with this exalted opinion of what success actually with Blake was a

cocktail that was going to go out of control. -- success actually looked

like. I was restless. This is the former home of Barings bank, the

230-year-old institution that I brought to its knees. My job was to

gamble on the ups and downs of the stock market and I was good at it. I

got the success and opportunities I had been striving for when I was

made manager of the Singapore office of Barings bank at 25. It is

competitive, exciting, the market are always moving, you're always at

your wit's and trying to work out what happen next. It was on one of

these occasions that I realised we had a discrepancy and needed to do

something about it. I had a loss of ?10,000 but did not tell my bosses

in London. Instead I tried to get the money back the only way I knew

how, gambling on the stock market. I was not coping particularly well.

Towards the end of 1994 it dawned on me that it was a fairly forlorn

attempt to rectify the situation, but I could not tell anybody what

was going on. By 1995 the loss had become ?862 million. When I left

Singapore it was fight or flight. Three days later, Barings bank

ceased trading. I was charged with 11 counts of cheating and one of

forgery. The whole period is my lowest point. It will always be the

most embarrassing period of my life because it is the complete opposite

of what I wanted. I will always be remembered for my biggest failure.

That was 20 years ago, but today I want to tell the students here are

biggest lessons I learned from the mistakes I made. You cannot exist in

an environment where people are scared of making mistakes because

when you're scared of making mistakes what happens is people

conceal them. When I was confronted with something I could not cope with

I did not do the most simple thing, ask for help. For me, it was a sign

of weakness when I was 25. You should not look at it like that. It

is a sign of wanting to do things correctly. All of you will make

mistakes and I hope they are small ones, I only ever think you are

confronted by what you have the ability to cope with. I cannot tell

you where to find it but it is in there somewhere. Thank you very

much. We've not exactly broken the bank with our game show prize.

You're trying to collect as many doughnuts as you can in 45 seconds.

The person with the most doughnuts by the time this klaxon goes... She

is off. Dermot O'Leary is letting himself

down. She has got three, she has got four. Count the calories.

My granny could do better in her mobility scooter. What a disaster.

It is stuck. That is stuck. He's going to the empty plates. It is a

bit of a mess. Time is up. Well done, guys. I'm

going to count these. How many have we got? Dermot has four. I have got

four. It is a draw. Well done. Very well done. Thank you. Hasn't it been

great? I will be back on Monday and we will be doing the FA Cup fourth

round draw live on the show. Have a fantastic weekend. Goodbye.
