11/12/2013 The One Show

?4.1 million worth of fake goods have been seized this week in

Southampton. So will you be getting a fake Christmas present, all will

you be giving one? Welcome to the show. Our two guests

this evening have never met. No, but he loves her. But she doesn't know

who he is. Please welcome a leggy, redheaded singer from Liverpool and

a cheeky comic from the east end. It's Cilla and Micky!

Come and have a sit down. What are your first impressions of each

other? He's gorgeous. I've always liked a younger man. Much younger

than me. Things are going well so far. I will obviously go for the

meal. It might get a bit awkward. But we'll have a lot to talk about.

We have. Because you are a bit gabby on the telly. Yes. I used to watch

you and think, that's how I want to be! So many have. Moving on

slightly, where do you stand on Christmas cards? Have you sent any

yet? Of course I haven't. I've sent all my foreign ones. But I haven't

had one back from the people I've sent them to. Not yet, but they will

come. Does your wife do the Christmas cards? Are you married?

Yeah. Don't worry about that. She does all of that. I wouldn't do it.

I wouldn't send cards. Andrew Lloyd Webber was in the other day and he

said we need a few Christmas cards. He's right. This one, very nice,

good taste, it's from a viewer called Andrew Tait. He says, Merry

Christmas 2013. Thank you for another year of early evening angst

reduction. We are many things to many people. This is from John

Horne, an avid watcher. We will put this up. Send your cards in. Make

sure that we get one. Do put your e-mail address on there. If you send

us a card, we will send you something back. Don't promise! We

like the correspondence. You send New Year 's cards, the ones you have

an send Christmas cards to. Al get ready for the next item. This is a

bit of a moral dilemma. Where do you stand when it comes to buying,

giving or receiving fake goods for Christmas? Put those on. With

millions of pounds worth of counterfeit goods seized at one UK

port this week, our question is, would you own up to giving your

loved ones something you know is counterfeit? Are these real? Yes. In

that container over their Christmas presents with estimated retail value

of ?4 million, but not of them are going to make it under your tree

this year. That's because they are fake and have been seized by the UK

border force. Southampton is Britain's second busiest container

terminal, with around 1 million units passing through the port each

year. Straightaway I recognise this. These would sell for a couple of

thousand for a real one. If that had been an original item it would have

been thousands of pounds. It is very difficult to tell that it is a copy.

We got some trainers here. I can tell, because I've spent my life

around trainers, the stitching isn't quite up to standard. These are a

couple of hundred pounds for a legit pair of those. This looks like an

aircraft carrier toy of some port - Max sought. Open it up and it is

expensive belts. Replica belts. Handbags for women. These, this time

of year, for a little kid, a kid wouldn't know they were real or

not. NEETs the packaging is quality. Unfortunately, it's only

when you use it that it will fall apart or, at worse, a dangerous for

the child. We estimate the crime cost is ?1.3 billion in the UK. That

is lost profits for the trader and lost collection of taxes. Did you

get rid of this? The goods are destroyed. Despite border force's

best efforts, plenty of these fake goods make it onto our streets. It's

then up to us to decide whether it's worth buying to save a few quid.

It's something of counterfeit, would you still buy it? Nope. I probably

would. It looks the same. Would you feel wrong for doing that? Not

really, no. You would rather pay the full price? Yeah. It's not right,

you are ripping off the people who are making the real products. These

glasses, ?150 in the shop, you can get them from the market for ?20.

Would you buy them? I would be tempted. It defeats the object of

Christmas, you want it to be special, real. Can you tell that is

fake? If you had the real and the fake one in your hands, you could

probably tell. If someone gave it to you, you'd struggle to tell whether

it was fake or not. I would buy it for myself. I wouldn't buy it for

someone else. What if you received a present that wasn't real for

Christmas? Would you feel a bit embarrassed to say, thanks for the

present, but you do realise it wasn't real? I'd never say that.

We've been talking about this. Where do you stand? Would you be happy to

wear something that was fake or rather not do it at all? I would

wear a fake thing. You wouldn't, Cilla? No, it's not worth it. It's

like those people who wear... Cubic zirconia. As opposed to a diamond.

But if people can't afford it and they also want to feel... I don't

care. If I find a rich fella... There's a way. You can get some good

quality ones, but what effect are they having on the economy? Quite a

big effect. To the tune of ?1.3 billion. When you factor in the

revenue lost, the jobs lost and sales lost. People are incredibly

concerned about this. And the fact it has become normalised to buy a

fake. A lot of people are doing it. It does have an effect. It is not a

victimless crime that people may think it is. This one looks

brilliant. I wouldn't know the difference. But it does smell of

plastic. Does it? Is it illegal? Is not illegal to have it but it is to

sell it. Have they just changed the name? The fact is that these are

successful fakes, because they look quite real. Smelling a woman's

Bagh, I've never done that on TBB for! There are health and safety

applications as well. If you look at toys, if they haven't been through

the relevant checks... And sunglasses, do you know they have

the UV filters and protect your eyes? It depends on the product as

to the dangers. I'd be tempted, that is lovely. The real one would set

you back quite a lot of money. You see, that one is real. It doesn't

look real, look at the stitching! Tonight, we want to hear from you.

With two weeks to go toe Christmas Day, we're asking you this

question. Are counterfeit goods acceptable as Christmas gifts? If

you think they are acceptable, text, show yes. If you think they

are never a gift, then text, showed no. Texts will be charged at your

standard message rates. All you can sign in and vote online.

We've been following the story of our next film over three years, and

it keeps getting more and more shopping. A self-styled church

promising cures for life-threatening conditions including AIDS and

cancer. But the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Three years

ago, the One Show exposed a scam cancer cure called Miracle Mineral

Solution. But it was no magic potion. It was actually a hazardous

chemical as dangerous to humans as drinking industrial strength bleach.

It is banned from sale in the UK. We thought we had seen the last of

it... Until now. This is the genesis to church. It's self-styled

reverends claimed their special cleansing water can cure all manner

of diseases. It all looks frighteningly familiar. Could one of

these products actually be the banned substance? We've discovered

the genesis church has been holding seminars across the UK, teaching

people the secrets of their cleansing water. We sent one of our

team undercover to find out what those secrets are. To get into the

seminar, our producer has told them he is desperate to find help for a

sick relative. But they want to make sure he's a genuine client and

hasn't been sent by the authorities. This is the Reverend Leon Edwards,

and he's in charge of security. Our producer is then welcomed by the

organiser of the seminar, the Reverend Mark Christopher. Remember,

some of the people here have got life-threatening illnesses and the

claims are extraordinary from the reverends.

They show the people attending the course how to make up the miracle

cleansing water for themselves. That is sodium chloride, the dangerous,

bleach like a chemical that was sold as Miracle Mineral Solution. But

they don't like to call it that. They clearly know the authorities

would still be interested in what they are up to today.

They are using M M S as the base for what will eventually be their

cleansing water, a chlorine dioxide solution that is also dangerous for

human consumption. And the students handle sodium chloride without any

safety precautions. What we are making is enough to cure 800 people

of malaria, like that. So what do the experts think? We are showing

our footage to the head of research for a leading cancer charity. What

do you think? It's appalling. The people promoting these treatments

are making false claims, not based on any scientific evidence. They

could be doing patients with severe disease is really serious harm.

These are really potent chemicals. The side-effects are tissue damage,

inflammation, nausea, all of that. It wouldn't have any effect on the

disease. They shouldn't be taken by anyone. And the price of being

granted access to the secrets of the Genesis church... Well, it's not

cheap. That is a compulsory donation. They

insist you hand over, to learn how to make something that won't make

you any better and could actually do you harm. But do these ministers

really stand by their claims? Coming up later, I catch up with one of our

self-styled Reverends to find out. Why do you tell people that drinking

bleach can cure cancer? We will have more from him later, he

is confronting Mark Christopher in an attempt to get to the bottom of

this. Cilla, you are Cilla-brating 50

years in showbiz! CHEERING

You have a Very Best Of album. In that album, there is a DVD which

contains previously unseen footage of your first foray into cabaret.

Let's have a look at you Live At The Savoy.

# You are my world. # You are everywhere, I pray.

# If our love ceases to be. # Then it's the end of my world, for

me. CHEERING

It is really interesting, you said you hate watching yourself back. I

hate watching myself on the telly, I hate it. What is ironic, that was

the second-highest watched programme in 1996, after the World Cup, were

you aware of that at the time. Sorry, 1966... Not at the time. But

18 million people are watching! It is not like nobody talks about it!

Produced by Brian Epstein and conducted by George Martin, what do

you remember? I remember coming in wrong in Anyone Who Had A Heart, and

George Martin really kicked off. It was my fault, I came in at the wrong

place. In doing that, it looked as if it was his fault. The artist came

first. Speaking of tracks and songs, what tracks have you chosen to go on

this album? All the early ones are there. All the Italian ones on

there. Where Is Tomorrow, Don't Answer Me, You're My World is on

there. I don't know who did the English lyrics, but they are all on

there. Did show business feel very different to how it does now? You

were desperate to make it in the industry, desperate for that fame,

how would you go for it now if you were a teenager? I would be the

first in line on the X Factor and I would have won it. Oh, yeah. I had

the confidence to win it. You have got to have the confidence. I think

it is 95% confidence. Yes, sure. The Very Best Of Cilla Black is out now.

A great Christmas present. And of course, we can't forget Blind Date

it was a highlight of Saturday night. But Micky is not a fan of

dates, the food type, we are talking about. Why is that? They are not

really a food, they are supposed to be in things, like cakes and mixes.

They have somehow come to the fore and said, what do you reckon? Rather

than people saying, what is that, they have gone, yeah, but then in a

packet and sell them as a treat to people, they will go for it! They

used to be in the long box with the sticker and your Nan would try to

palm you off with them. You would say, you're having a laugh! While

there is quality Street over there, I don't think so! They keep you

regular. It is not my problem, really, they make me irregular. We

will stop that conversation, we are going to try to convert you. Pop on

the blindfold, she says, she can't see it! Is that polar bear a bit

cold? A cold polar bear! What am I doing with this? Here we go, I have

seen these films. This is where it starts, is it? We are going to have

a game of alternative Blind date. Earlier on, we rang your Graham, and

here he is doing the voice-over down the phone. Ladies and gentlemen, it

is Micky's Blind Date, and here is your hosts, Miss Cilla Black! It is

good! Let's hear from date number one, you have got to choose these. I

am a Hadrawi date, ripe and bursting with flavour. Will you have a taste

of this? If I can find it. Guide me. Cilla will feed you, there you go.

Well, I couldn't go out on a date with this one, she is obviously

stoned... Let's move on to... How long before I did that! I am up for

getting double busy... I like the sound of her! Have a taste... Plump.

I like that, it is more sugary. Sweet as... And date number three. I

am the finest. Pick me and we will go out. I don't even need to taste

it... That is the winner. You have tasted all three, which date will

you be taking home? It has got to be three.

APPLAUSE Tune in next week and we will find

out how they get on! Can I spend the rest of the show like this! If you

want to, you might want to keep it on for the next film! Will he be

adding it to his online shopping cart? Apparently it is all the rage.

Shopping list are old-fashioned. We sent Alex Riley to find out how a

click of the mouse gets you your weekly shop. At this time of the

year especially, going to be supermarket can be a bit of a

nightmare. It is little wonder that more and more of us are shopping

online. I have been dispatched to this state of the art online

supermarket warehouse in Hertfordshire, to find out how your

shopping gets from your computer to your home. Not so long ago, all

groceries were sold by someone behind a counter and there was

usually a delivery boy waiting on his bike to take your fruit and veg

to your doorstep. Rosary shopping seems to have come full circle, to

placing your order is with online grocers and having items delivered

to your door. It is just like the good old days, but without the

personal touch. To -- today I am meeting with workers from Ocado who

will take me behind the scenes of the UK's only dedicated online

supermarket. This is our control room where we monitor our machinery,

manage the infantry and measure our customer orders, so we can track the

baskets of the customers on our screen and look for any robins as we

are processing orders. -- any problems. The warehouse covers 1

million square feet and has 25 miles of conveyor belt, which means they

can process 1.5 million items a day. We are now picking your chilled

items for your order. We can see the various different products that one

of our personal shoppers will pick. We will check the date life and

quality of the product for we send it out. That is the last item for

this station. If you press this button, that will go on to its next

destination. Here it is. It says the BBC One show

on it. This is our in-house butcher and fishmonger, we hand prepare

specialist orders for our customers. You try to make it seem less

mechanical? It brings it to life, you have tried to do something

specific, we then tailor it with your name on it and it brings it to

life for the butchers and fishmonger to prepare those items, so they note

that are actually for a real customer not a faceless person on

the of a computer. Ocado delivered straight to your door and with over

18,000 orders a day it is no mean feat. The opportunity to liberate

yourself from the supermarket car park and checkout queue is

increasingly pillar, as Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose and Asda are

about to be joined by Morrisons in offering an online alternative. That

is for Cilla! I have never tried online shopping,

I might give it a go. Are you an online shopper? Oh, please! I have

only just learned how to text. Micky, your wife does it? She loves

it, she moans about it sometime, she said I have all this shopping to

order. She said, you would have been doing it a couple of years ago! You

talk about your wife quite a lot in your new DVD. Does she mind that you

are using this content? Yeah, but I don't really care, to be honest! And

honest answer, she comes to see the show part way through and we sit

down, like the Mafia around the table, negotiating the material. She

says, you can take it a bit back and that and we reach a come from us,

then I go out with the next night! Somebody who does mind is that very

close to me. Alex has made the content of your show... The One Show

the other night. She came out and she said, coming up next... I know,

it is uncanny, isn't it? Your Italian accent is perfect. We heard

that you watch The One Show sometimes before you go on stage, in

a towel. When I get ready in the hotel room, I am mostly in the nude

but when you come on, I have a towel around me. I am always tuning in and

out. I associated with nudity and getting ready, really! I see it as a

benchmark of not taking anything seriously until it has been on your

show! That is what I was saying, the levels of crystal meth addiction in

service stations are so high... That the public don't know about it until

it came on The One Show. If it has been on The One Show, job done. We

will do that story. I think we should. Your career started, as a

stand-up comedian, from watching a similar type of programme a while

back. An early evening show where they did things like Ocado and

that... And where they had... What all this is about, I have no idea.

This John wrote of there was a story about a stand-up

centre where you could do a course and I thought, I would have a go --

a community centre where you could do a stand-up course.

You see a woman a bit chip, you say, what are you so cheerful for? I have

got a new top! You see a woman skipping along the road... She

bought a new top, she wore it to a party and then she took it back,

hooray! Got my money back, not even a credit note! You also talk about

you dabbling in a bit of stealing when you were younger. You've come

clean now. You are from Liverpool, you know all about this. There's not

an honest person in Liverpool! Apart from you. I've been to Liverpool,

they don't stop. How very dare you! How rehearsed was that? Any thing

you want to say to the people of Liverpool who are watching? Keep up

the good work. They are all lovely in Liverpool. Where do you come

from? Bethnal Green. There you go, same. There is an honest bloke in

Bethnal Green. Honest John. The DVD, Back In The Game, is available now.

Not that many people in Liverpool will be buying it. They'll be

stealing it! I'll smash your gob in! They are lovely in Liverpool. It's

one of my favourite cities. You will never be able to go there again.

They will celebrate me if I go back, I'll get a statue. The date

that was going so well has just turned very sour. Let's change the

subject. Can you spot the difference between these pairs of brothers. We

will. With the Jonas Brothers. The Everly Brothers as well. And we've

got the Righteous Brothers. Which ones are the odd ones out? There's

three of one set, so that's a bit... That is right, but it's not

the answer I was looking for. The two guys in the middle, the smaller

one looks like a chimpanzee. They are lovely. The Righteous Brothers

aren't brothers. That's right. It is a pairing that Cilla knows better

than most, and for a very good reason. Bill Medley is the voice

behind some of pop's most successful songs. He first found fame as one

half of the Righteous Brothers, who had a string of hits throughout the

60s. But the duo are best known for this, their signature song.

You've lost that Loving feeling of three minutes and 50 seconds of

solid gold, largely due to the heart-wrenching performance of the

Righteous Brothers, along with the epic sound of legendary producer

Phil Specter. The song reached number one in America in 1964. But

its trip to the top of the UK charts wasn't quite as straightforward.

# Baby, baby, I get down on my knees for you...

Lovely to meet you, do you want to take a seat? I love your hat. You

weren't brothers, were you? Daily know. I remember the first day we

rehearsed, it was always very easy to record with Bobby, great harmony

singer. The duo were not short of funds. Before long, they were

noticed by Phil Specter, who was revolutionising music with his

recording techniques. He knew exactly the song for them. He worked

as pretty hard. He wanted that melody... You never closed your

eyes... He wanted it dead on, right on the beat. I tend to get back on

the beat. It was kind of hard for me to push it up front, but apparently

he was right. He knew a hit when he heard one, but anyone could cover

the song and Beatles producer George Martin wanted it for his protege,

Cilla Black. Cilla's version was released in the UK first, ahead of

the Righteous Brothers. Phil Specter was not amused. Phil sent us over

here immediately. Cilla did it one way, we did it another.

# That Loving feeling... I think it was meant for the

Righteous Brothers to do. By January 1965, the Righteous Brothers were at

Number Ten. Cilla was five places ahead. The race to number one

between -- came a battle between the heavyweights of pop. In one camp

George Martin and the might of Cilla and Beatles manager, Brian Epstein.

In the other, Rolling Stones manager, who placed an advert to

champion Spector's revolutionary sound. It was like a boxing match in

a way. You had a corner where you had the Rolling Stones, Phil Spector

and the Righteous Brothers. And then you've got Cilla Black, George

Martin and the Beatles. It was pretty intense. The Rolling Stones

came to me at the airport. We did Top Of The Pops the next day. The

next day we couldn't walk on the street. Everybody knew who we were.

Within two weeks, Spector's big budget production was at number one

and Cilla's version slipped down the charts. We knew Brian from the

Beatles. He threw a party for us and the Rolling Stones were there and

Cilla. He said, OK, you won this one but the next time you come to town,

just remember I own this town. What did you say to Cilla? Sorry, babe!

The truth is that no one lost out. In almost 50 years of being

performed, the song has grossed over ?20 million. You have to do that

bit. Perfect! We pushed Bill for more of an apology, and this is what

he had to say. I'm sorry I missed you when I was in London, but you

were on my mind when we visited the cavern club. I understand you used

to work there. How cool is that? ! Good luck with the new album. Have a

great Christmas and maybe when I'm over there next time we can have a

little baby. -- a little drink. Well-deserved. I did my best, but I

couldn't beat them. Carrie, welcome. You've been digging about in the

archives and have found lots of songs that originally were meant for

completely different artists. There were some real surprises. The first

one is the Bee Gees in 1967. They went to see Otis Reading in New

York. They were fans of his. They spent some time with him, came away,

wrote a song called To Love Somebody. Unfortunately, Otis

Reading then died three months later, so he didn't release it. The

Bee Gees used it as the second single from their debut album. It

went into the top 20 in the States. It's a real signature tune for them.

I note you will love this one. Bonnie Tyler, Total Eclipse Of The

Heart. Surely that wasn't meant for anyone else! It was meant for Meat

Loaf. Those big, rocky voices. Written by Jim Steinman. He then

fell out with the record company and thought, I'm giving the song away.

He gave it to Bonnie Tyler, it reached number one in a whole load

of countries. She became the first Welsh singer to hit the top of the

Billboard 100. Look at Micky's face, he's lost in that. It's the

1980s again! It's too much for me! We've got 1985, the writer producer

Keith foresee wrote a song called don't you forget about me. He

offered it to Bryan Ferry, passed on, Billy Idol, passed on. Simple

Minds covered it, it became number seven here, number one in the States

and also featured in a film. That's incredible. Our vote tonight on

counterfeit goods is now closed. Please do not vote because you may

still be charged. I will have to put on my postman had to read out this

important bulletin. Is that what it is? Privatisation one? I've got

important message. It matches your shirt. If you are sending Christmas

cards or presents by airmail, the Royal Mail recommend sending them by

this Friday coming. Inside the UK, you've got until next Wednesday.

Cilla is already on it. Foreign. Before we had such a reliable

service, sending Christmas cards clogged up the system. In the early

1900, up to 12 million letters and parcels will be in transit across

London every day. At Christmas, this load increased dramatically. By the

turn of the 20th century, the capital's congested streets meant

that mail was becoming severely delayed. A new system of transport

was needed to swiftly move this huge volume of mail. The solution was

this. A miniature underground railway. Work started on tunnels to

house the Post Office Railway in 1914. The six and a half mile line,

entirely separated from the Tube network, was hand up and cost nearly

?1 million. The first parcel travelled along the line just in

time for Christmas 1927. Chris is head of collections at the British

Postal Museum and archive. Was this a very innovative system? It was the

first of its kind. The first electrified railway in the world.

There were other variants on underground railway is being

developed, but nothing of the scale of what the Post Office were

developing. Travelling at 35 mph, it served eight stations from

Whitechapel in east London to Paddington in the west of the city.

Trains could cover the entire network in just 26 minutes. Despite

being automated, a community of 250 sub to rainy and Postal staff kept

the trains on course. Brian Folkes worked on the railway, he hasn't

been back since it closed a decade ago. Christmas was our real busy

period. Every train was full. We were just working flat out six days

a week, 22 hours a day. As one of the station managers, Brian was keen

to reward his team's hard work. And the opportunity to do that came

about when the railway was used as a film set for the Bruce Willis film,

Hudson Hawk. Money donated by the film company enabled the team to

create the most incredible Christmas parties. The idea was to reward the

staff are working hard at Christmas. We had a staff party for the

children. And they really went to town, decorating the platforms with

snow machines and lights, and painting the 12 days of Christmas on

the tunnel walls. Even Father Christmas was waiting for the

children at the end of the platform. The enjoyment in their face coming

away from Father Christmas clutching at present, it gave you a good

feeling. Today, we've been given special permission to get the trains

running again. And Brian's grandsons, Callum and Josh, just

like their parents did, are joining him for one last go on the Christmas

express. Everyone ready? Let's go! And, amazingly, the paintings done

by the workers over 20 years ago are still on the tunnel walls, starting

with a partridge in a pear tree. And there is a surprise waiting for

the boys at the other end of the tunnel.

How old are you, Josh? Three. It's nice to see these disused tunnels

ringing again with a bit of Christmas cheer, harking back to a

time when, way beneath the feet of the busy shoppers stressed out from

their Christmas shopping, these tunnels were the scene of festive

fun for children, enjoying themselves on one of the most unique

railways anywhere in the world. Let's see his little face once again

as he sees Father Christmas. His eyes light up! You will be faced

with that very expression on Christmas morning. I certainly will

be. I have that expression on Christmas morning. Me too! How much?

We are still celebrating 50 years of Cilla tonight. You have a lovely

book of memoirs out. Back To Black. It is full of great pictures that

span whole career. 50 years is a long time. This is the cover. That's

lovely. Why did you choose that one for the front cover? I didn't choose

it, because I'm rubbish at choosing my own photographs. I do remember

the frock, designed by John Bates. Before I had my nose done,

obviously. There's another great picture of you in different outfits

from different era is. Can we see it? You've got them all in the loft

apparently. I keep everything in the loft. I don't know what state they

are in. If I'm asked to go up there for a certain outfit, I've got loads

of Biba stuff. You don't see me for three days. I'm like Miss Haversham.

Have you got proper stairs that go up into your loft? Proper stairs,

electricity and everything. Have you kept every single thing? Not

everything. But most of the gear, yes. I've got all the 80s, shoulder

pads. I've got all that. You should have a little sale. No. You were in

the Royal Variety performance twice, first of all in 1964. There you are,

looking quite reserved. What is quite remarkable is the confidence

you have gained throughout your career. This is you in 2001, in a

very different outfit. Those lights did not work all day and I went into

Paul O'Grady's dressing room, and he taught me how to bump and grind, is

it? It sounds disgusting! In case the lights didn't work, and I was at

the Palace two days after that. And the Queen said to me, I see you are

wearing rather a lot more to night. I felt terrible. There is an

anecdote in the book that says about you talking the Queen's ear of the

first time you met her. I asked for advice and Millie Martin said, she

won't know who you are. I said, my photograph is out front. I was with

Frankie Vaughan doing a season that lasted for nine months. I said, my

photograph is 20 foot high outside. What do you mean? She won't know who

I am. And, well, she only said to me... And I chewed that you find a

rabbit it on and I'd told her everything about myself and all she

said was, good evening. And she moved on to Tommy Cooper. The story

about Tommy Cooper is famous. Cilla's photo book, back-to-back,

and her album are out now. We were going to play this yesterday but

June Brown had so many anecdotes, we ran out of time. On Monday, we

followed Mike Dilger as he travelled to Iceland to meet the species of

bird battling -- baffling experts. In October I travelled to Iceland

where I saw hundreds of Whooper swans repairing to migrate. Since

then, over 20,000 have made it to the British Isles. Travelling

thousands of miles with no food and virtually no stops requires a

physiology unmatched in the natural world. The secret to how they do

that lies in their heart, their lungs and their fat reserves. Doctor

Stephen Portugal is an expert in bird physiology. We know that when

birds migrate, they are working really hard. It is very demanding.

Birds have two types of fuel, high bride is -- carbohydrates and fats.

They use them in different ways. Stephen has put me on an exercise

bike, pedalling at a moderate effort. People think when they

hopped on a next size by Clay instantly burn fat but

unfortunately, you are not -- when you hop on an exercise bike. You are

currently burning carbohydrates and not fats. Carbohydrates are not

great for duration exercise as they run out quickly. You can only store

enough to last for about two hours of intensive exercise. Birds burn

fat during migration. One gram of fat holds twice as much energy as

one gram of carbohydrates, giving the bird double the power. After an

hour's hard slog, it is time to stop. I have done one hour. And they

do 24, 36, 48, 72... Whilst I call off, Stephen takes a look at the

rest of the data. This column is your oxygen consumption and you were

taking in about 26 millilitres per kilogram. When the birds are

migrating, you could be taking in an amazing 200 millilitres per

kilogram. It is almost ten times my rate. The physiology gives them the

sustained energy they need from the marshlands to the wetland Centre in

Lancashire. Today is way in day but first we have to catch them. We want

to way some of the swans to get an idea of how their bodies are

physically affected. The good news is we have caught quite a few

Whoopers. Look at those. They weigh an average of ten kilos but during

their flight over they can lose 15% of their body weight, so once they

are here, they need to put the weight back on. I can barely get my

arm around him. This bird was one of the first to arrive about a month

ago. I think that is about 10.3 kilograms. That is a pretty good

weight. He is back to full condition. He is set for the rest of

the winter. The next bird has only just arrived and he is a whole kilo

lighter. 9.2 kilograms. Much lighter. He is not unduly liked but

he's still in process of putting on the body fat post-migration. He will

regain condition nicely over the next few weeks and be said for the

winter. -- be set. These guys will be here until March, where there

will be time to head back on -- when it will be time to head back on

another epic migration, back to Iceland to breed.

Another festive item we have is the humble calendar. Cilla, you have got

a calendar. Next to theirs, it is dead humble. Cilla is not the only

hot redhead with a calendar, look at these boys, already heads and they

have a lovely calendar out. Thomas Knights is the mastermind, tell us

about the original idea. It is an exhibition I am doing at the red

church treat Gallery in London, about rebranding the ginger male

stereotype. With women we have lots of amazing role models, but we don't

have very many for guys. That was the inspiration. We have got it

here. Greg Rutherford. Yes, Olympic gold medallist for the long jump. We

have Tom Brady who is in Team GB as a canoeist. Where have they found

all of these amazing looking redheads, which one do you fancy? I

quite like him. Come on through. All the proceeds are going to a very

good cause. It is all for anti-bullying, we have various

anti-bullying charities we are affiliated with. Micky has got his

own? We didn't really have time for it! We very quickly put it together.

This is April, you as a bunny. That is... You are going to love summer.

And wrapping up for winter. Anyway... It is time to wrap up the

big question tonight. We asked you if counterfeit goods are acceptable

as Christmas gifts. We can reveal: You have been commenting on this.

Jeffrey says, you have no need to buy counterfeit goods, just go

shopping at the charity shops where you can buy the real thing at a

quarter of the price. Martin in Doncaster, can I ask why the

counterfeit goods are not passed on to charities for the homeless, poor

and needy? And Lucy says, counterfeit is a good way of getting

someone a present that is way out of your price range, as long as the

receiver is not fooled into thinking it is real. There we are. Dan

Donnelly investigated a scam targeting vulnerable and ill people

desperate for a miracle cure. Here is what happened next.

I am on a stakeout, looking for the reverend from the genesis two

church. They claimed drinking their secret cleansing water will cure all

manner of serious illnesses. I treated one gentleman with skin

cancer... The medical experts are in no doubt that their secret water

won't do you any good at all and risks doing you serious harm. They

are selling false hope. Not only will they not treat cancer, they

could cause serious side effects. It is frankly appalling and immoral. In

the face of all evidence to the contrary, do the reverend still

stand by what they say. We asked the teacher, Lyon Edwards, for an

interview. He claimed to have successfully treated people with the

secret water that is actually industrial bleach, in a phone

conversation he denied he had ever made such claims. We haven't heard

from him since. But what about a man who was happy to take hundreds of

pounds in donations. We asked the organiser 4-iron interview on

camera. He has refused to even respond -- for an interview. We have

tracked him down to this east London address. It is a long wait and when

he does finally appear, he could not look less like the confident healing

minister he claims to be. Has he still got all the answers? Why do

you tell people that drinking bleach can cure cancer? It does. It does

not cure cancer. I don't know what you're talking about. You have no

evidence that drinking bleach will cure cancer. I am talking about

Miracle Mineral Solution. Sorry? I have no idea what you're talking

about. Mr Christopher... You are exploiting people who are sick and

selling them false hope, aren't you? Come out and answer our questions.

Serious allegations, these are. Well, it looks like the so-called

Reverend Christopher doesn't want to talk about his miracle solution,

when he knows the cameras on him. There we are. Hopefully it will draw

some kind of line under things. We have also discovered Miracle Mineral

Solution is still available to buy online. We contacted the

self-professed inventor and one of his colleagues sent us to a link a

website called water pressure -- Water Purification Supplies. We are

passing the information onto the Food Standards Agency. Rainer Hersch

is ready to play us out. He and his Orchestra will be performing

Christmas number one singalong at the Southbank Centre on December 14.

There is just enough time to say thank you to your bow. Micky's DVD,

Back In The Game, is available now. The Very Best Of Cilla Black and her

photo memoirs, Back To Black, are also out now. Ie going to go into

your loft and find the outfit with the flashing lights on? -- are you

going to go? I have got that, it is downstairs. Do you wanted? I am

probing, sorry. -- do you want it? Are you a Chelsea fan? No, I am not.

Hasn't been good's career gone downhill? I ask because tomorrow we

are joined by one of England's finest, Frank Lampard.

# Are you hanging up a stocking on your wall?

# It's the time that every Santa has a ball.

# Does he ride a red nosed reindeer? # Does a 'ton up' on his sleigh.

# Do the fairies keep him sober for a day?

# So here it is merry Christmas. # Everybody's having fun.

# Look to the future now. # It's only just begun.

# Are you waiting for the family to arrive?

# Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
