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

:00:18.:00:21.

With us tonight is an actor who had a scary beard in Braveheart and an

:00:21.:00:26.

even scarier eye in Harry Potter. But in real life he's a very nice

:00:26.:00:36.
:00:36.:00:41.

With another beard. Nice to see you. They had just finished filming the

:00:41.:00:45.

last Harry Potter. You did say that you originate took the role for

:00:45.:00:53.

your kids. They are grown up now. Who are you doing it for now then?

:00:53.:01:01.

I have actually expired. I met my Waterloo in the last film. The kids

:01:01.:01:08.

were in the car. I got a phone call. I mentioned Mad-Eye Moody and the

:01:08.:01:18.
:01:18.:01:22.

car went ballistic. It had to be done. One of the children was a

:01:22.:01:28.

weaselly. Everyone said that. He was ginger. He went for an audition

:01:28.:01:36.

and became Bail. Brendan will be telling us about his new film, The

:01:36.:01:42.

Guard, later. A week on from the riots, one of the solutions put

:01:42.:01:48.

forward by David Cameron was about school discipline. Could a return

:01:49.:01:58.

for methods of the past be in order? It looks picture-postcard

:01:58.:02:02.

perfect. This area in the heart of Scotland made a mint out of

:02:02.:02:08.

bringing children to tears. This is Lochghelly. It's eye-watering claim

:02:08.:02:17.

to fame was the strap. The leather strap was craft made for one number

:02:17.:02:24.

purpose -- one purpose - discipline. For more than 100 years, the crack

:02:24.:02:28.

of the Lochghelly straps supporting a small industry in the town. More

:02:29.:02:33.

than 70% of straps used across Scotland came very small shop here

:02:33.:02:43.
:02:43.:02:48.

in the High Street. Schoolboys had nicknames for it. Such as the strap

:02:48.:02:54.

and the Lochghelly. The name behind it was John Jade Dick. His

:02:54.:03:00.

craftsmanship brought a local pride to this instrument of punishment.

:03:00.:03:06.

Doug was a mild mannered man. He took a pride in his work. It was

:03:06.:03:12.

the simple thing. It was done to suddenly stared low -- standards.

:03:12.:03:21.

He had two lengths. The heavy two tale was probably the most popular.

:03:21.:03:25.

That is what teachers liked best. They were ordering this in the

:03:25.:03:31.

dozens and hundreds. Each teacher would buy their own. It was a mad

:03:31.:03:37.

rush before term time to get all the orders out. It might sound like

:03:37.:03:42.

a cruel and unusual punishment but this was the weight order was kept

:03:42.:03:48.

in classrooms across Scotland. -- way. This man should know. In his

:03:48.:03:55.

teaching days it was a legitimate method of classroom control. I used

:03:55.:04:01.

it four Times, regretfully every time. Some would use it because

:04:01.:04:08.

there was a question wrong in a Test, others as a method of self-

:04:08.:04:12.

defence. Sometimes the whole class would be belted as a method of

:04:12.:04:19.

proving they could do something. Would you and other teachers carry

:04:19.:04:26.

them around? Yes, over your left shoulder. You would carry it here.

:04:26.:04:32.

Just like that. Under your jacket. It is not a hit and miss thing. It

:04:32.:04:37.

is not something that was done with its serious thinking beforehand. It

:04:37.:04:42.

did become a knee-jerk reaction. You did that so you will get the

:04:42.:04:49.

belt. The Ian Rankin remembers all too well the tickle of the strap.

:04:49.:04:57.

It was a control method and it did work. Fiat was a big part of it. It

:04:57.:05:02.

would quieten down the rest of the class. If you made an example of

:05:02.:05:07.

someone, the rest of the class was quiet. I can remember getting the

:05:07.:05:13.

belt for talking in class - being destructive. In secondary school,

:05:13.:05:22.

the sting can stay for the whole evening. What was typical? Two and

:05:22.:05:29.

four were average. I think I only got six once. Give me some idea of

:05:29.:05:35.

the. Could be used. If you wanted it not to her very much, you could

:05:35.:05:41.

hold a halfway down and flip it. You could hold it the full length

:05:41.:05:47.

and give it a really good go. you want a shot? Just hold your

:05:47.:05:55.

hand out like that. As far from your body as you could go. And

:05:55.:06:05.

then... It does Sting, doesn't it? That was not full strength by any

:06:05.:06:10.

means. Corporal punishment was banned in schools by 1987. It made

:06:10.:06:15.

such an impression on the young Scots but you will not find this

:06:15.:06:23.

written outside of history any time soon. We would like to hear your

:06:23.:06:28.

thoughts on this. The address is below. You were a teacher before

:06:28.:06:35.

you became an actor. Did you use corporal punishment? The year I

:06:35.:06:39.

started teaching was the final year that corporal punishment was

:06:39.:06:44.

allowed. A certain amount of bluff goes on in a classroom. You can

:06:44.:06:49.

shout at people and pretend that something awful is going to befall

:06:49.:06:53.

them. I did think boroughs growing up Borough prefer to get a slap and

:06:53.:06:59.

get it over with them have my parents contacted. It was

:06:59.:07:05.

completely obvious that you cannot trust people who went on power

:07:05.:07:11.

trips. It is wrong. It is communication between parents and

:07:11.:07:17.

teachers and children. That is how it works. That is the way you

:07:17.:07:24.

discipline people. The days of the leather is over. You had four

:07:24.:07:29.

children when you left teaching. Her I was 34 and a did not say I

:07:29.:07:35.

would turn round at 35 and regret anything. I had been acting but not

:07:35.:07:45.
:07:45.:07:50.

as the Duke of doing it as a way of life. -- as a few. We became more

:07:50.:08:00.
:08:00.:08:02.

professional. Let's go on to your new found -- film. He does not

:08:02.:08:08.

sweat the Small Stuff. He has a different take on the law. He is a

:08:08.:08:14.

lonely individual. He is very abrasive and very aggressive. He

:08:14.:08:20.

does not want to be bothered by it anything. He is hoping for a high

:08:20.:08:26.

noon to happen. It is such an endearing character that you play.

:08:26.:08:33.

Let's see what your FBI Palmer things. I have had enough of your

:08:33.:08:38.

wise cracks. You can consider yourself under suspension if you

:08:38.:08:43.

continue. If we were back in Atlanta, you would be giving out

:08:43.:08:53.
:08:53.:08:55.

tickets for jaywalking. You can The whole thing was filmed in

:08:55.:09:01.

Galway. What did he make of it? It looked pretty dreary at times.

:09:01.:09:06.

did not think we could film it at that time of year. We went for it

:09:06.:09:12.

when we had a chance. It was November, December on the west

:09:12.:09:21.

coast of Ireland. We went through blue/purple lips way you could not

:09:21.:09:25.

-- where you could not get the words out. They brought me over to

:09:26.:09:35.

the Irish Sea. In December I had to come in and do my Halle Berry

:09:35.:09:40.

moment. The weather adds to the character of Beatham. There is a

:09:40.:09:48.

constant trudging and heavy clouds. -- per film. It was a bit hostile

:09:48.:09:53.

and remarkably beautiful at the same time. Don had a good time when

:09:53.:10:01.

he went over. I met him in LA. I knew we were going to hit it off.

:10:01.:10:07.

He was a great actor. I could not wait for him to get out there. His

:10:07.:10:14.

eyes were on sticks. He could not believe we were doing it. He went

:10:14.:10:22.

on the golf course every day he had off. How about the police? How have

:10:22.:10:28.

they taken it? Pretty well so far. They did screen the film for about

:10:28.:10:38.

40 cars, 40 policemen. They loved their heads off. The Macro guard

:10:38.:10:43.

will be out this Friday in cinemas. We will be meeting the fastest

:10:43.:10:51.

family in Britain as they tried to carry out the tradition set by

:10:51.:10:59.

their relative. Finding a good deal is becoming harder and harder.

:10:59.:11:05.

Yours has gone up by �74. They are out there, all these deals and Dom

:11:05.:11:09.

Littlewood went to Manchester to help two viewers in their search.

:11:09.:11:19.

If you live in Manchester, car insurance does not come cheap. The

:11:19.:11:26.

inner-city M13 postcode tops the league. Premiums are up 40%.

:11:26.:11:31.

Comprehensive cover is nearly �900. You will need to be savvy to get

:11:31.:11:41.
:11:41.:11:43.

your premium down. Meet at one show viewers, Juliet and Allen. Juliet

:11:43.:11:49.

was paying �684 a year to insure her Fiesta with a bank. This year

:11:49.:11:56.

she has been quoted over �1500. renewal quote was more than 100%

:11:56.:12:04.

increase on my current premiums. It was �900 a year extra. I have to be

:12:04.:12:10.

honest, your car is probably not worth it. Probably a grand if I am

:12:10.:12:16.

lucky. I go on comparison websites. That does not sound like you are

:12:16.:12:20.

shopping around enough. If you allow me some time I can get that

:12:21.:12:30.

right down for you. Go for it! million of us are navigating away

:12:30.:12:35.

through comparison sites. Not all of the insurers are on those.

:12:35.:12:41.

Beware, they do make assumptions when quoting. You can haggle and

:12:41.:12:46.

seek out deals. If you do not ask, you will never know. Alternatively

:12:46.:12:50.

there are brokers. They are independent and cover the whole

:12:50.:12:54.

market. They will have lots of discounts. Perhaps you work in the

:12:54.:12:59.

police or had a Maurice Minor, whatever the circumstance, they

:12:59.:13:04.

will have something that is suitable for you. Brokers have to

:13:04.:13:12.

earn their money, how do they get it? A few of them will charge a fee,

:13:12.:13:16.

some earn commission. I think we have found you a lower quote. Here

:13:16.:13:25.

we go. I will take that and the credit for it. Allen is worried

:13:25.:13:32.

about a 40% increase on his premium. He is paying �530 for his cover.

:13:32.:13:39.

His wife is on the policy, which helps, but so is his son, who is 27.

:13:39.:13:45.

That does not. We have taken your details and shopped around. If you

:13:45.:13:52.

insure it, with just you, without your boy, �430. If you put your

:13:53.:14:01.

wife on it it goes down to �380. That is a hell of a lot of

:14:01.:14:11.

difference to �530. It is. The can do better. His son only visits

:14:11.:14:16.

occasionally. That will cost him �25 a week. It is not just

:14:16.:14:20.

additional drivers, it is additional cars as well. If you had

:14:20.:14:24.

two vehicles in your household, you could put them both under one

:14:24.:14:34.
:14:34.:14:36.

Time to review -- reveal how much we have saved Juliet on the quote.

:14:36.:14:46.
:14:46.:14:46.

Have a guess. What has it gone down to? �1,000? Not likely, � 579.

:14:46.:14:56.
:14:56.:14:59.

Owe oh, my God! Do you know how much saving that is a year? Nearly

:14:59.:15:04.

�500. That is ridiculous! Are you happy with that? Yes.

:15:04.:15:08.

Are you going to shop around in the future? Yes.

:15:08.:15:13.

Lesson learned. Dom is here of course. So, big

:15:13.:15:19.

savings to be made, but go about them in an honest way? Yes, it is

:15:19.:15:24.

definitely the best way. Let me tell you something, the

:15:24.:15:29.

insurance companies are not idiots. If you start telling them you do

:15:29.:15:35.

5,000 meal mielings a year, you do ten, they check up on your MOT

:15:35.:15:41.

certificate. If there is an accident.

:15:41.:15:46.

Your son has fury dice hanging from the rear view mirror, they will

:15:46.:15:52.

realise it is not your dad's care. They have a claim underwriting

:15:52.:15:55.

exchange. If they find out something, that you have not told

:15:55.:15:59.

them, they will not pay out. They have the right to do so.

:15:59.:16:06.

On the junt of brokers, how-do you ensure you get a good one? Many

:16:06.:16:10.

people don't know what a broker is. Brokers, I love them.

:16:10.:16:15.

But if you give them the details, let them do the hard work. Most of

:16:15.:16:20.

the time they earn commission from the insurance companies. Some of

:16:20.:16:26.

them charge a little bit on top. It is maximum 10%. A Domy tip here

:16:26.:16:30.

about the sites, put your information in. If you get a good

:16:30.:16:36.

quote, don't take it. Sign off. The companies often ring you up and

:16:36.:16:41.

then start offering you. If you think it expensive, they will drop

:16:41.:16:46.

it down in price. Now, someone who does lots of miles,

:16:46.:16:49.

following the England cricket team around the country, have is, of

:16:49.:16:54.

course, Phil Tufnell. When he is on the road we ask him to keep an eye

:16:54.:17:00.

out for a story for us. Tonight, he is in Grimsby. Grimsby

:17:00.:17:05.

does not have the most glamorous of reputations, it is an old dock town

:17:05.:17:12.

famous for its fishing fleet, not its architecture, but I'm told

:17:12.:17:15.

somewhere around here, there is is a huge tower that looks like it

:17:15.:17:20.

could be part of an Italian renaissance. It seems unlikely to

:17:20.:17:30.
:17:30.:17:33.

# Your love is lifting me highers # Core, blimey, it's a whopper! The

:17:33.:17:39.

Grimsby Dock Tower dates back to 1882. It is tefd was a money earner,

:17:39.:17:43.

buildings like that did not come cheap. I always thought that

:17:43.:17:51.

Grimsby was a fishing port, but it is very handily situated for trade.

:17:51.:17:54.

Grimsby nationally and internationally is well placed.

:17:54.:17:58.

There if is slap on the side of the North Sea with Europe on its

:17:58.:18:02.

doorstep. It was the industrial rev luegs

:18:02.:18:08.

that give impetus to the port. There was the need for importing

:18:08.:18:11.

timber and exporting coal and manufacturing goods.

:18:11.:18:16.

The there was a railway company that seeing the flat land, no

:18:16.:18:20.

problem for laying the railway lines it ran up to the edge of the

:18:20.:18:24.

river. With it came the wherewithal to build the dock.

:18:24.:18:28.

The dock was a state-of-the-art facility, with the tower at the

:18:28.:18:33.

heart of it. Srb sitting in the morning sun

:18:33.:18:41.

# I'll be sitting in the evening come... # The tower dominates the

:18:41.:18:48.

Grimsby skyline. It is 390 feet, it used to be the tallest brick-built

:18:48.:18:52.

structure in the entire country. About what was it for? I'm off to

:18:52.:18:57.

meet a man who knows all about it. Garry Crossland has helped to

:18:57.:19:04.

manage the -- manage the docks and has written about a book about them.

:19:04.:19:11.

Why did they need a tower such as this? Here in Grimsby there were 15

:19:11.:19:17.

hydraulic cranes and the lock gates. They needed the tower, to power a

:19:17.:19:20.

constant supply of water. Why does it look like it comes from

:19:20.:19:30.
:19:30.:19:31.

Italy? It was based on the tower of the Palaca Publico in veena.

:19:31.:19:35.

The architect, James William Wild was influenced by his foreign

:19:35.:19:39.

travels and the dock tower is his masterpiece. It is said to be made

:19:40.:19:46.

of 1 million bricks. In the grade one listed buildings is a vastly

:19:46.:19:49.

empty space. The machinery is long gone.

:19:49.:19:54.

Wow! That is absolutely huge. What used to go on up there? Well, there

:19:54.:19:59.

was a tank that contained 33,000 gallons of water used for the

:19:59.:20:02.

hydraulics. How did the water get up there?

:20:02.:20:06.

came from a well about half a mile away. It was not in service for

:20:06.:20:11.

very long, 40 years, then it was replaced with a tower a few yards

:20:11.:20:15.

away. Then they put the mechanism out of here including the lift.

:20:15.:20:19.

How many steps to the top? About 450.

:20:19.:20:26.

Are you coming up? You must be joking I did it in 1980, never

:20:26.:20:34.

again! So, I'm on my own!? You're on your own! One, two, three, four,

:20:34.:20:39.

five... I'm not great with heights, I must confess. The best thing to

:20:39.:20:49.
:20:49.:20:50.

do was to concentrate on the counting! 399, 400! Blimey, nearly

:20:50.:20:58.

there. This is one big, scary building. 350! -- 450. Wow, what a

:20:58.:21:03.

view that is. Well, it was scary getting up here, but the view is

:21:03.:21:08.

fantastic. What a brilliant building, a marvel of Victorian

:21:08.:21:12.

engineering. Now, I've had enough, I want to get down. It really is

:21:12.:21:19.

quite high up here! Phil! You looked a little bit out of breath

:21:19.:21:22.

there. That was scary going up that scare

:21:22.:21:26.

case. The fella did not want to go up there either.

:21:26.:21:31.

It was amazing, wobbling as you were going up.

:21:31.:21:38.

It's been there since 1700! That tower used to hold the biggest

:21:38.:21:42.

tower record but not anymore? the Battersea Power Station is now.

:21:42.:21:50.

That is now a listed building. It was obviously a power station up

:21:50.:21:53.

until 1983, 61 million bricks involved in that.

:21:53.:21:59.

That is in the UK, what about in the world? This is in Sri Lanka. It

:21:59.:22:02.

took 27 years to build, have a guess.

:22:02.:22:11.

Brendan, you have a guess. 61 million was Battersea...? Higher...

:22:11.:22:16.

93 million bricks! That's a lot of bricks! Can you imagine the order

:22:16.:22:22.

for that. That was built in the 3rd century

:22:23.:22:28.

AD. 400 feet high that is. This is the bad boy coming up. This is not

:22:28.:22:34.

a brick-built structures, this is Kingdom tower in Jeddah, this is

:22:34.:22:39.

the highest building, or it will be when it is built, that is one

:22:39.:22:45.

kilometre high. That is half a mile high! Do they have a lift, Phil?

:22:45.:22:49.

hope so! It will have the biggest observation platform.

:22:49.:22:56.

You are walking the staircase of that, fill! I'm not going up that!

:22:56.:22:59.

Super job. Thank you very much. Brendan, this is where we are going

:22:59.:23:04.

to leave you, we are going outside to the coals now, but thank you

:23:04.:23:10.

very much cor coming in. Now, in the 20s and the 30s, Sir

:23:10.:23:18.

Malcolm Campbell set nine land records.

:23:18.:23:22.

His son lost his life. Now, we have another member of the

:23:22.:23:26.

family setting a record. This is one of the longest

:23:26.:23:30.

stretches of the beach in the UK, Pendine Sands. It is the British

:23:30.:23:34.

home of the land speed record. Meet Don and Joe Wales, a father and son

:23:34.:23:39.

from a family with a long tradition of breaking land speed records.

:23:39.:23:44.

Today they are hoping to set a new one in an electric car.

:23:44.:23:50.

Why Pendine Sands? It is the bit place of the land speeding record-

:23:50.:23:55.

breaking in the country. So for us to come here it really is special.

:23:55.:24:02.

What record are you trying to set? The outright UK record. That is 137

:24:02.:24:06.

miles over the measured mile. There is also a quarter mile and the 500

:24:06.:24:10.

metre. They are records that I hold, but Joseph might take them away

:24:11.:24:14.

from me today. So, you could take a record from

:24:14.:24:18.

your dad, can you cope with that? can easily cope with it. I would

:24:18.:24:25.

love to have a couple of your records! Would you like to meet

:24:25.:24:33.

Bluebird? Here she is. She is providing 200 kilowatts in

:24:34.:24:39.

peak power and 1100 metres in talk. She is very low, very sleek and

:24:39.:24:43.

very blue! And it was not long before Joe got his first attempt to

:24:43.:24:50.

beat his dad's rorbd. -- record. And he's gone. He is now

:24:50.:24:53.

rolling. So, you need both runs, the forward

:24:53.:24:57.

and the back run together and the average of those, that is the

:24:58.:25:02.

record attempt? Absolutely. It is the average of two runs. They

:25:02.:25:08.

have tb -- to be done within an hour. There he goes, he is past us

:25:08.:25:15.

now. He's looking good. That was a quick run.

:25:15.:25:21.

The little swine has gone faster than me! But only in one direction?

:25:21.:25:27.

If we are lucky, we will get one Morecambeing back. Joe's first run

:25:27.:25:32.

out of the two has been a success, but has he got enough battery juice

:25:32.:25:38.

to make it all the way. He has either run out of juice or

:25:38.:25:44.

he is trying to conserve it. He has probably run out of juice.

:25:44.:25:48.

So, what is happening now is that because of the limited amount of

:25:48.:25:53.

juice in the batteries I'm afraid the law of physics has beaten us.

:25:53.:25:59.

Not being able to make the return run cost Joe the record, so it

:25:59.:26:02.

still rests with his dad, but something tells me this will not be

:26:02.:26:07.

the end of it. Well, Don and Joe join us here,

:26:07.:26:10.

welcome to the show. That was Saturday we saw on the film. Tell

:26:10.:26:15.

us what happened on Sunday. That did not go quite to plan either?

:26:15.:26:18.

had a beautiful day, but the sunshine acted against us. The

:26:19.:26:24.

visibility on the day was not good. Mirajs on the track. Joe just lost

:26:25.:26:28.

his way a little bit. What is it like to be in there

:26:28.:26:33.

going that speed? It is a lot of fun. The back end slides a lot. It

:26:33.:26:38.

is different from driving on the road. The steering is sluggish, you

:26:38.:26:44.

start to aquaplane a little bit, but it is a lot of fun when you are

:26:44.:26:48.

flying over potholes. As far as the future, thinking back

:26:48.:26:53.

to your grandfather, you are carrying on this family tradition,

:26:53.:26:58.

how does it feel to be in this incredible dynasty? It is a real

:26:58.:27:04.

privilege. Watching dad as a kid having him go up and down the beach

:27:04.:27:07.

at Pendine Sands. It must have been horrific for you

:27:07.:27:13.

as a dad to see what happened on Sunday? Terrible! Is it true by

:27:13.:27:18.

2013, Joe, you hope to break the record and go 500 miles per hour?

:27:18.:27:24.

That is the next step. Going for the world record, which is

:27:24.:27:30.

currently 370 miles per hour. Is that electric? Yes, powered by

:27:30.:27:35.

batteries. 300 miles an hour is a defendant possibility. The design

:27:35.:27:44.

of the car to do 500 is a possibility. We need money to raise

:27:44.:27:48.

-- to be raised to do that. Well, all the best of luck.

:27:48.:27:52.

Earlier on we were talking about corporal punishment. There are

:27:52.:27:56.

loads of e-mails on this. Hill airy had the strap but respected the

:27:56.:28:02.

teemp. Ashley Sherwood said he would have

:28:02.:28:09.

been better behaved at school had the school used corporal punishment.

:28:09.:28:13.

And Fiona, said she was given the strap and thought it nothing more

:28:13.:28:16.

than short of assault. Keep your views coming in.

:28:16.:28:22.
