12/01/2012 The One Show

Hello and a big welcome to the One Show, with my co-presenter for the

first time, Zoe Ball! Thank you very much. I am a little worried

about tonight's guest. He once took a stash of cash from Mel Smith.

in the next few weeks, he will be coming John Barrowman and pinching

a Picasso. Please welcome Hustle's Adrian Lester. A obviously you are

not Icon man in real life, but you must have picked up a few tricks.

have. We had a close hand card magician coming to show us how to

do those tricks, and a pickpocket artists, if you can call him an

artist, who showed us how to distract people. They are all

things we have used in each episode. We will check our pockets as he

leaves the building next man -- leaves the building! With a long

gone, you show your mark, you get them to part with money, and you

say you're going to give it to them, but of course you don't. And when

they get questionable, and they want to know where it is, you show

them you haven't got it, when in fact you had hold of it all the

time. If you missed that, here it Extraordinary! Magicians up and

down the country will be furious. You will be kicked out of the Magic

Circle for showing that. Plenty of inside information to come on the

last-ever series of Hustle coming up. And Gyles has a few secrets of

his own later on. I certainly do. Welcome to the One Show. I cannot

reveal to you where I am. My location is top secret. I am at an

industrial estate somewhere in the United Kingdom where traditional

boat builders are creating a craft the like of which you have not seen

before in our lifetime. They are building the Royal Rowbarge. This

is the vessel that will lead the pageant along the Thames when the

Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee in June, and we are going

to see that barge here tonight for the first time. It is another One

Show world exclusive. We love a The tragic accident on the M5 last

year claimed the lives of many people. Some of the first emergency

workers on the scene at that night were volunteers. Matt Allwright has

met some of the volunteers who give up their free time to rush to the

aid of accident victims. After a day of work, most couples

want to curl up on the sofa and watch something on telly. But not

dr Steel and her husband Tim Nuttall. They spent many of their

evenings and weekends on call with the Lincolnshire integrated

voluntary emergency service. This is when they booked in as

responders. We have got a call within five minutes. And it is

quite a serious incident by the sound of it. In Lincolnshire alone,

there are over 600 volunteers who don't get paid for their time car,

and are on call. I have heard it is a road traffic collision involving

seven vehicles, two of them articulated lorries. Most

volunteers are from non medical backgrounds, but by day, Tim is a

nurse and Kiki is a GP. We will have a general look over the scene

and assess what is going on first. There is no point in me diving in

and dealing with one person if somebody is more seriously injured

Living near by means they can get accidents on the A1 quickly. The

great thing about Kiki is that she is a GP, so she can probably do

things, she has got expertise and skills she can use that some of the

paramedics have not. That is why they are crowding round her and

asking her questions. What I can't get over his this is her leisure

time. There is another one down there that team is looking at at

the moment. Paramedics asked Kiki to examine 56-year-old Joe. He was

travelling in the passenger seat of the car with his wife and son when

they were hit from behind in the pile up. Is that saw? Know. -- no.

That is! I think you might have a broken rib. I will be gentle. You

have a Clear long on that side. Despite the jokes, Kiki is worried.

This patient who was sitting up and talking, looked all right, but now

it looks as if he will be making a trip to hospital. Whether his

condition has worsened, or whether Kiki is just playing it safe, we

will find out later. Unlike Tim and Kiki, Stephen Hyde

comes from a non- medical background. He used to work in

marketing, but now works for Lives are full time. He volunteers on

emergency call-outs. He could be the person that treats you until

the ambulance arrives. So there is no need to have

previous medical training? We take people out of the community. It

could be the local plumber, an electrician, a student. If they are

over 18, we will take them on board and train them. It is a lot more

than first-aid, isn't it? Yes, it is emergency first person on seen

first day, so things like managing the airway. We can see things as

serious as cardiac arrest, heart attacks, strokes. Back on the A1,

Kiki is concerned that the pain from Joe's injured ribs could be

masking a more serious injury. concerned about whether you have

maybe had a bit of an angina attack. Across the UK, volunteer teams are

dispatched by the ambulance services to incidents. Although the

number and medical expertise of the volunteers can vary depending on

where you live. This begs the question - why is the NHS relying

on volunteers to deliver something so important?

Do you ever ask, this should be the work of the NHS, why are the taxes

paid? If you look at the size of Lincolnshire, the ambulance service

would have to be three-star -- three times the size it is in

Lincolnshire to cover the same ground in the time that we can get

to patients. The geography of Lincolnshire means that we have got

to have people still. You would have to have an ambulance on every

street corner to match the times that we do. As for Kiki and Tim,

they cannot imagine anything better to do with their time.

Thank you to Matt, and you'll be pleased to hear that Joe in the

film is doing fine. We are now joined by two volunteer medics who

attended the scene at the M5 last year. You were both there within

minutes of the accident happening, James Hickman and Andy Smith. I am

surprised that so many volunteers were involved in something so

intense. Why do you do this in your spare time? It is incredible.

hard to say why we do it. We have a passion to help people in that

critical phase between being injured or becoming suddenly ill

and getting to hospital. There is a critical time there. It can be

sometimes scary, it can be exhilarating. Sometimes it is

heartbreaking. But it is immensely rewarding when you can make a

difference. I think that is why most of us do it. And for teamwork

along with the the ambulance service and colleagues. Andy, in

the film there we saw about a different kind of volunteer, a

first responder who can fill in before the arrival of the ambulance.

If people are interested in becoming involved, how would they

do that? They don't need any prior medical qualifications. They just

need to be over 18, have a degree of common sense and a desire to

help the ambulance service save lives. They will be taken through a

programme of initial training, and then given equipment such as the

vital shock defibrillator box. They will be supported and monitored.

The types of jobs they will be sent on our people collapsing with chest

pains, possibly heart attack, and people having seizures. By getting

their quirky, they can take -- help the ambulance service save lives.

How long does the training take? Typically three days, but there is

ongoing support, they are not alone. You can find all about becoming the

first respond and the like on our website. But while all the

technology they use may be new, a sense of compassion certainly isn't.

With Goodman is at the sight of a hospital that was built to provide

a special group of sick people who would normally have found

themselves cast out of society. Winchester. Until the 12th century,

the ancient capital of England. The seat of learning that gave us the

Anglo-Saxon chronicles and the Domesday Book. And now, one mile

outside the city, another aspect of Winchester's and lightened history

is being revealed. 1,000 years ago, this field was the home of some of

the county's most desperate outcasts. They came from all walks

of life, but one thing they had in common was a truly terrible disease

that disfigured their bodies and made them exile's for life. They

were lepers. The 12th century Domesday book describes this field

as the place of the lepers on the hill. Four years ago, archaeologist

started digging the sight of this and Mary Magdalen leper hospital,

and now these excavations are revealing just what this hospital

was really like. Where are we at the moment? We are by the medieval

chapel. We have a series of buildings, the Master's Lodge, the

latrine, the alms houses. On the far side of the trench, you can see

the foundations of the Infirmary. So that is the medical care it?

think so, yes. That is where they would have eaten and slept. Leprosy

is a chronic infectious disease. It causes aggressive lesions on the

skin, nerve endings to turn Naamah and limbs to grow deformed. It is

gruesome, and in the 12th century, it was becoming a major problem.

The disease is affecting a lot of people, and they are being pushed

out into specialist spaces. That's right, they are out here on the

boundaries of urban civilisation, if you like. The common belief was

that lepers were made outcasts from society, but the size of a hospital

uncovered here suggests that, in Winchester at least, lepers were

offered much more respect than previously thought. As we can see,

we have decent buildings here. That challenges the view of them being

outcasts, being segregated. They are separate, but not treated like

filth? Exactly. The respect given to lepers can also be seen in the

way the skeletons are buried. Far from being carelessly flung into a

pit, these bodies have been carefully laid out in individual

graves. So this person has been respectfully buried? There are well

done, nice graves. For all of the individuals. Everyone has had a

nice head Nish and a rectangular out a cut. It shows that the people

of Winchester were the first people in Britain to build their hospital

to look after lepers. But new research suggests that this

hospital was even more ahead of its time. The evidence that they are

piecing together here seems to suggest that this could be one of

the earliest Hospitals, maybe even the earliest hospital in Britain.

The oldest hospitals were thought to have been built by invading

Normans in the late 11th century, but radiocarbon dating of skeletons

found here shows that this hospital could have been built an entire

century before that, making this the oldest hospital of any kind in

Britain. What sort of dating evidence have you been getting?

earliest date we had was 740 AD. That is very early, but it does

suggest that leprous individuals were being brought together to be

buried here much longer ago than we thought. The interesting thing

about this site is not only do we have these very interesting burials,

we have the buildings to go with it. We can compare and contrast these

two different forms of data, and showed that they were treated well

in death and in life despite their horrible disease, comforts were

provided in terms of well-appointed buildings. It is extraordinary to

think that this might be the very first hospital in Britain, and that

over 1,000 years ago, lepers, outcasts from society, could seek

comfort and care from the people of Remarkable.

Amazing. Now, then, Adrian, I'm genuinely

upset, I really am. Because, the final series starts tomorrow of

Hustle?! It is the eighth one, it has been phenomenal. You play

Hakkinen, the head of a group of grifters. Two questions, why Bricks,

and secondly, for all of those you don't know, what is a grifter?

grifter is a conman. That is a name given to them. Bricks is because

his name is Michael Stone. So his nickname became Micky Bricks.

Also he is tough? Yes, he is hard, very hard. I try to give him some

of that hardness when I play the part.

He is a superfan. All day I've been learning the names of cons like the

flop, and the rag? Yes. I have also learned as we are going

to see from a clip from tomorrow night's show, that the mark, the

victim, I've been paying attention. This week it is brilliant. A dodgy

gold dealer called Dexter. We have not fought our way across

half of Africa, carrying 100 kilos of gold bars into the UK, so that

some smart individual can rip us off. Do you get me?! Back off,

corporal! Yes, sir! LAUGHTER. How much? I can get you half a

million, transferred to any account, anywhere in the world in 20 seconds.

I would rather shoot him where he stands! Come on.

I do like the fact that as a gang you are like modern-day Robin

Hoods? They are always badies, the victims, they get their just

deserts? The show has to keep an element of entertainment and fun.

That is a rule that we stick to that the marks have to be nasty

people. You can't worry about them. You can't care for them. You have

to feel like that when we get them. That was the first episode, the

secondow directed yourself. Obviously it is not easy to act and

direct at the same time, but the job was made slightly easier by the

conditions you were in? Yes. Tony Jordan, one of the executive

producers on Hustle, he thought that the best way for me to do this

was to ensure that Micky did not have so much screen time. So the

concept of that is around Micky. So I've been taken way, gagged and put

in the boot of a car. Where did you direct the episodes?

I had to direct those scenes. On the set, when you start acting, the

person who says cut is always the director. So I'm in the back of a

car, they have shut the lid, I've been gagged... Everything goes

quiet. I'm in there in the darkness thinking we should cut nowened no-

one says anything. MUMBLES I HEAR SILENCE. THEN GIGGLING, THEN THEY

LET ME OUT. HUSTLE STARTS TOMORROW AT 9.00PM ON

BBC ONE. IN A MOMENT, GYLES IS TO REVEAL THE BOAT THAT IS TO LEAD THE

QUEEN'S DIAMOND JUBILEE At the start, along the river.

The history of the Thames goes back 500 years with King Richard III in

1483, but in 1487, king Henry VII welcomed his new queen including a

floating fire-breathing dragon, but the greatest Royal pageant came in

1662, when Charles che second gave his Portuguese wife, a state

welcome that no-one would ever forget. According to Samuel

Pepys10,000 vessels crowded the River Thames. Was he exaggerating?

There has been nothing to rival the pageants staged by the Actuallors

and the Stuart, but we are going to give it a try this year. However,

with the last royal barge retired in 1970, where on earth are we to

find a boat fit for a Queen? And it was the luxury cruiser, the Spirit

of Chartwell that was selected for the job.

I'm in the Queen's seat at this moment. By a happy chance, he is

called Philip! Someone involved in the pageant was walking past and

decided that this was what they were looking for. This was built

for celebration. So what a greater celebration could we have than to

celebrate the Queen? The idea is that on the great day, the Queen

will be up on board here? On the top deck? That's correct.

And the Queen, I know most purposely wants to be seen.

splendid as the boat here is, it still does not meet the organiser's

ambition of rivalling the grandeur of the 1770 pageants. So a team of

designers is to take the ship on a radical makeover. The

transformation of the ship into the Royal Barge is to aim to recapture

the splendour of a by-gone age. I think that Her Majesty will be

happy on that boat. Gyles, where exactly are you? I really am not

able to reveal where I am, but I have shown you the Queen's ship, so

the pressure is on for those who are creating the Royal Rowbarge.

Remember this is going to lead 1,000 ships along the Thames. Boats

big and small, tug boats, rowing boats, sailing boats of all kinds.

Crafts from all over the country of England, Wales, Scotland and

Northern Ireland. Including perhaps from people who have a scaffold

from Port Soy. They have applied and from the Second World War, a

torpedo boat from Norfolk, they hope to be there, but leading the

pageant is the Queen's row boat. Here she is. Look at the grandure

of that. Look at the craft of the people on board. Let's meet two of

the men behind the project. Mark Edwards, you are the Master Builder,

what was the inspiration of the Royal Rowbarge? There is a lot of

history on the Thames. There were boats used on the river, enormous

fleets. Sost there is a real history of using the river for

transport and celebrations. We hope that continues in the future.

Have you had to reinvent ancient skills to make this craft?

Hopefully a lot of the skills are still alive small numbers. We hope

to continue that. This project has brought 15 boat builders from the

Thames and southern England. What will the boat look like? Superb.

The whole shape is classic, very fine. A fast row boat. Lord

sterling you commissioned that boat. What is the legacy going to be? The

3rd of June, we see it on the Thames, what is the lasting legacy?

It has been built as a legacy in the Silver Jubilee and the Golden

juep lee, we hope that the magnificent vessel, built by some

of the most talented people will be something very special in this

country. A boat fit for the Queen? Not just,

but also very important on the historical background it is

reminding families and children of the strength of what the country

stands for and for its future and we hope that is a real lasting

legacy and finally it is a thank you to the Queen for the years of

service she has given to this country.

And thank you, Lord sterling. You saw it first on The One Show.

Thank you. As Gyles has said, joining the Royal Rowbarge are

boatsmen across the country, including some that have served our

nation in the wartime. Now, introducing the name of our

wonderful wildlife presenter... can do it, Zoe, come on. Miranda

Krestovnikov. Now, we have her here talking about

a home that is under the water. The waters around the UK are home

to 60,000 shipwrecks, more than anywhere else in the world. Today

the wrecks don't just provide a playground for archaeologists and

divers, once a wreck has hit the sea floor it creates an artificial

reef, which is a magnet nor life, providing homes for a dazzling

array of sea creatures. Not far off the coast of Falmouth, are the

remains of a vessel that's been at the bottom of the ocean for nearly

as long as the Titanic. Beneath me lies the wreck of the

First World War ship the Volmey. Bringing ammunition back from

Canada when she hit a mine and sank right here. Once we have located

the Volmey, and put a marker buoy above it, we have to be made aware

of havoc around the wreck. There is iron down there, a boiler

down there. The moment that anyone does not feel happy, you are out of

there. As I descend, 4,000 tonnes of metal

loom out of the plankton-rich water. It is almost quite ghostly when you

think of the wreck sits, what happened to it.

-- the wreck itself, and what happened to it. This is the boiler

section it is huge! The structure here is covered in marine life,

this is exactly what I wanted to see.

Wrecks are fantastic places for fish. There is lots to eat. A great

place to hide. We have so much down here. Look at

him! Lovely colours! The unusual thing about these species of fish

is that they can change sex. They start off as female and when they

are about eight years old they can change to become males. It is

amazing. Not one inch of the wreck is wasted here. Every nook and

cranny is inhabited in the underwater metropolis.

Now, let's try to get close to this beautiful pink sea fan here. This

is a colony of creatures. It is not one single creature. These sea fans

are quite rare and they are protected species. They only grow

in areas that aren't being trawled and fished. They are incredibly

fragile. So a wreck like this is a perfect place for this to grow.

It is a filter feeder. So it grows at right-angles to the

tide and current. It filters out all of this lovely plankton in the

water. What a beautiful find that is absolutely spectacular. As I

circle around the hold, I stumble upon the only other member of the

sea horse family... It is a pipe fish! Look here! Beautifully

camouflaged, but very stripy! He's exactly the same colour as the

brown sea wood that is covering the wreck.

Stkpw -- if you can see the long snouty nose, it is the same as that

of the sea horse. What a beauty.

It's an interesting thought that when a ship like this was afloat it

offers us protection, and now in different state of its life, it is

again offering protection, but this time to this array of fantastic
