16/02/2016 The One Show

EastEnders in half an hour, but now on BBC One -

The One Show, with the very handsome, Greg Davies.

You must watch this episode of The One Show just to stare

at his outstanding beauty, the new beautiful face

And Greg Davies is funny, the funniest comic actor

A man with soft hands, and man I would like to hold me for

eternity... O Connor hello and welcome to the

One Show with Angellica Bell. And a cut. Today is a momentous day in the

history of the BBC. We had the birth of BBC One in the 1930s. And then

BBC Two in 1964 followed closely by colour television in 1966. And in

the 90s and naughties, the digital revolution came, including iPlayer.

Bet now on February 16 2016, BBC Three has become the only channel to

go completely online. We have two of its biggest stars with us tonight.

The first, a big comedy star whose job actually was as a TV announcer.

And now he has announced himself so we will move on. Also a documentary

maker for BBC Three. What began as a peaceful demonstration quickly

turned violent. I ran into a hotel before security shutters came down.

It is chaos! Please welcome Stacey Dooley and Greg Davies!

APPLAUSE You're both here to tell us about

this big move BBC Three online. It is online now I think. We are doing

the official launch. You are here because you will be cutting this

ribbon. Am I? Did you not know? We will get you to cut it. As well as

all of that, later we will be giving you all the information you need to

the big switch online with the boss of the whole channel. Yes, the big

cheese is in. Before that, how happy are you with

the rail service? Dom is over With delays and overcrowding

making the headlines, A new survey says our experience

of riding the rails . We. -- we will have to. We are. I

pick the children up from nursery, I have been late for that. I don't

think anyone is happy with the service. When they are bad, they are

really bad. Road-macro you can't even breathe properly. How much do

you pay? About five grand. Any other service you would not pay this money

for. With long delays, packed carriages and expensive prices. In a

survey, Which found that rang true. Another survey found customer

satisfaction had risen for the first time since 2012. Head of policy at

Transport Focus said it depends on which passengers you ask. With

leisure travellers you have 86% of the section but with commuters it

drops to 76%. If you break that down, with hard-core commuter

groups, it goes even lower. The bad experiences stay in people's minds.

No one remembers when the trains turn up on time, everyone remembers

when it is awful. One service to do well is the First Hull service from

London. Sarah has been a train manager for several years. What is a

difference between this train and the commuter trains? I think it is

hard for them because the commuter services are not as long as our

journeys. We have a two-hour service so we have the rapport with

passengers. Would you fancy working on some of the commuter trains? No!

Seems like roots like this are getting it right, but there is no

doubt about it, these trains do not have the sheer numbers of passengers

to cope with as the commuter train I took from

Brighton this morning. So, having experienced the morning rush-hour

and a leisurely lunch time service, it is time to brave the evening

commute between Manchester and Cardiff. Passengers on this busy

route regularly squeezed into just two or three carriages. Sorry. Once

or twice if you have to stand up, you don't mind. When you are doing

it five times a week and you have still paid ?25 for your ticket, you

think, hold on a minute. It is always round, round. Sardines. The

One Show contacted Southern trains and a Riva trains. Southern say

their network is one of the busiest in the country that they do

everything in their power to provide passengers with a better service.

Arriva declined to comment about the train operators said they are

working hard to improve satisfaction. Outside the rush-hour,

passenger satisfaction is on the up when it comes to getting us to and

from work. Which's survey said the train companies still have some way

to go. An interesting report from Dan. You

have got to move! I really going for it! Do I have to keep doing this?!

It must be difficult to get heard as an angry, upset commuter, can you

give us some tips? What I would say is if you have got a complaint, and

sadly only one out of every five people do actually campaign, of

those, only one in eight ask for compensation. If you ask someone to

complain, make a note of the train time and destination. It is such a

palaver. Use the bright into London route that was featured in that

film. Are you an unhappy commuter? I am so unhappy it hurts. I will moan,

moan, moan but I never do anything about it. I need to. There is a

system in place called Delay We Pay. If your train is delayed by 30

minutes you can claim back. It is in vouchers, not cash. You will get

your money back in vouchers. When it reaches the destination, not when it

leaves. I think I might be overcooking the movement! I am a

trained actor. Can I just chip in? As far as I am concerned, train

delays are an excuse to eat more crisps. I thought we were on the

quiet carriage! It is not all bad news? A lot of people say we have

the highest fares in Europe but only 15% higher than Europe. That will

come as a surprise to viewers. Surprises me because I think they

are extortionate inexpensive. Britain has very aggressive in their

strategy. They target the fares that the business and commuters use. As

far as leisure travel goes, if you get online and book in advance you

can go all around the UK for peanuts. 85% is similar to Europe or

cheaper. It is the 15% that will get you. Book in advance if you can

then. What are you doing? Get with it, grandad, I am watching TV

online! The way we watch TV now has all changed.

Stacy has been investigating. I'm Stacey Dooley and I have been handed

a mission by the One Show to find out how people are watching telly

these days. I grew up, like most of us, watching television on an actual

television. But the ability to download and stream programmes mean

people can watch TV out and about on their portable devices, on their

smartphones and even on their tablets on the move. Watching TV on

the move could be the future. Henry mounts from the Financial Times

certainly thinks so. We really live in a smartphone world now. People

have access to a device that plays video. Now you have 70% of adults in

the UK saying they catch up on programmes. This stream them online

or they go to a certain website like the iPlayer. That means the schedule

is much less important. You still have some moments like a Sunday

night when the channel controllers can put on a drama and expect

millions of people who gather round but there will be some people who

missed it and they can watch it the following night. We are watching in

a much more consumerist world where people say, I am in control, I will

decide what I want to watch and when I want to watch it. I never watch TV

any more. If I'm out at work, I will watch something on my device. We

will catch up on the tablet. I love TV on my phone. That is basically

where I watch it. I watch everything on my iPad. I am big boxing fan, you

can watch the replay is on your phone. I watch programmes at home on

my laptop. The pure traditional TV is not really there for me any more.

To reflect the changing viewing habits, BBC Three is moving online.

See you somewhere soon on a portable device.

A big thank you, Stacey, for conducting that investigation. Today

is the big online launch of BBC Three, the first TV channel to move

solely online. The control of the channel Damian Kavanagh was here to

answer some of your questions. But first, let's cut the ribbon. Greg,

you are poised and ready. As it is a digital channel, we have a digital

ribbon. We have gone on to school with the scissors. Let's have a

countdown, three, two, one! CHEERING

Damian, you are the boss of the whole thing, why have you decided to

make this move? It was borne out of financial

necessity but I think it was a firm strategic choice behind that. I

think people noticed the way viewers were behaving. 50% of the video

viewing time for youngsters, 16 to 24-year-olds is non-live TV now.

Something is happening quite fast. We felt with BBC Three when we moved

it online we would be able to learn quickly. I understand what you're

saying that we need to move with the times, but isn't there an element of

sadness with the fact the channel has gone. There was a massive

campaign to save the channel which must have been good for you to know

about? Of course. You can switch it around but there should be a massive

feeling of pride which has been achieved. If you think of Gavin and

Stacey and Stacey's shows, I will leave somebody out now and defend

Sunday, but and Cuckoo! LAUGHTER What is your favourite, Cuckoo or

Stacey? I love them all. It is difficult to

know all of the content which is there. There is no schedule so how

will this work? We will be in the press. The

newspapers have been talking about Cuckoo, Life After Death Row, all

coming back. We have built a platform. It will show you what

shows are coming out on a daily, weekly basis. And we have a social

media team. We are working differently. I looked at iPlayer

earlier, Cuckoo waltz number five, the fifth most watched. How did

people find out about that? Because of our social media team, marketing

team, we are all doing an excellent job. -- was number five. It is

exciting because it will be online all the time. What have you put in

place to make sure there is a watershed? We take that seriously.

We work with editorial policy and compliance. We want to make sure

unsuitable content isn't being watched by young people. All of the

shows will also play on iPlayer. Exact same guidelines. Parents can

put in settings. And we will have warnings for programmes which might

be unsuitable. Really good to know. The plan is to...

Well, BBC Three's plan is to "Make You Think",

"Give you a Voice" and "Make you Laugh".

My wife is about to give birth. 20 minutes? We can hold on. I would

like a prawn jalfrezi, bhuna... Tandoor with special for four. Well

done. What, the baby is late, spicy food induces labour! I love that. I

had very spicy curries towards the end of my pregnancy. I could eat

them, but nothing happened. That was a clip from Greg's comedy Cuckoo.

Bring us up to speed for those who have not seen it. It is so

complicated. CHUCKLES

My character, Ken, I am playing against type, fat middle-aged guy

with a family. CHUCKLES

But that is acting for you. His daughter in series one had an

unsuitable hit the boyfriend whom I fairly set in his ways character

disapproved of, and lots of parents watching also disapproved of,

because a lot of them wrote to me and said, why don't you punch him?

Then he disappeared under mysterious circumstances. We don't know if he

is alive or not. Then his son, via a teenage bling, he comes to the

house, I welcomed him into the family, he then got involved with my

daughter. Right... And that is Taylor Lautner. Yeah, my body

double. Hollywood star. Are you really enjoying your acting at the

moment? We know that you write, as well, how does that fit, and

stand-up, where all you, really, at the moment? I spend a lot of time

crying. Alone. In my flat. At night. At the moment I am lucky enough to

be acting in two shows, I host another show. Had you put stand up

to one side for the moment? I have had to, unfortunately. Because I

love stand-up. I would love to do a tour next year if I can squeeze it

in. I I miss it. Stand-up with petrify me. I cannot think of

anything I would least rather do. What about being chased by a bear?

LAUGHTER Maybe. I know one thing you cannot

handle, lifts. I know excavation market is not rock 'n' roll. I can

go to all of these hostile environments, I'm OK, but I get to

the BBC, and I cannot get into my left! -- I know! It is not rock 'n'

roll. You can see episode one of Cuckoo

on BBC Three online from today. We love a tenuous link

on the One Show, and we've Greg's just been talking

about his sitcom, 'Cuckoo' and our next film celebrates a glam

rock pop star, of the 70s and 80s My Coo Ca Choo. With the song isn't

called Cuckoo. Tenuous link, I said. LAUGHTER

It is now time for Shaun, his son, to talk about it.

Morning assembly has finished. We are going back to Reigate Grammar

School where I am headmaster, very different career to my father. He

was Alvin Stardust. Despite his dark and brooding image, he would have

been much more at home here at school. He was born Bernard Drury.

He didn't have a difficult background. In fact, he was a

boarder at a school at it like this. Like some of our pupils, he started

his career as a chorister. He also occasionally would sing in a group.

Then the BBC got in touch. They said we would like you to come and play.

They had a first few hits. By that point he left Bernard Drury behind

and became Shane Fenton. My mum, she was a dancer, they got together and

started a double act working as Shane Fenton and Iris. In the early

1970s, record company had a song called Coo Ca Choo, but they did not

have an artist. My dad turned up all in black and they went with it. It

was due to be on top of the Pops that week. He died his hair black. I

woke up in the morning, all of these blue streaks running down my face. I

said, excuse me, do you do side burns ready-made? Stuck them on and

I turned up at the BBC centre and I did Top Of The Pops. Suddenly Alvin

Stardust was a massive star. I don't how much of it is genuine

stagecraft, and how much of it was in dealing with head I all over his

face. There is a lot of him looking moody. If you look at me with him in

photographs, I didn't smile, because I did not want to let my dad down.

Back at home, he was playing football with us in the back garden,

just being my dad. All of that success came at a cost. Mum and dad

split up. That was devastating for all of us, really. I missed my dad.

Into the 80s I have started at my senior school. That was the time

when he felt most like my dad. He came to watch me playing rugby. He

and Paris to me, cheering, but it meant a lot he was there. -- he came

along to watch me, cheering. He had lots of hits. Very different image.

No more black leather and big question. He started to be more

himself. -- big quiff. Our relationship was at its best when I

became a headmaster. And when I had my children. We were able to talk as

two women, two fathers. He was diagnosed with cancer when he was

about 70. He never stopped working. He would say, I need you to listen

to this track, hopeful it would be a big album for him. He died at 7am.

It was on the radio, every channel, it seemed. That was one of those

times when I felt he wasn't my dad he was somebody I shared with

everybody else. He was certainly my hero. I looked up to him.

Of course, in teaching the pupils are the stars.

And they did -- they are good, aren't they? What do you make of it?

I like it, I have seen the video on YouTube. My mum used to sing with

Alvin Stardust. Really? Small world. Yeah!

Thanks for doing that film for us, Shaun.

We are talking about BBC Three this evening. Part of the ethos is to

find new talent and nurture it. Now Stacey, you are known

for your hard-hitting documentaries You have been to some of the worst

places in the world for women to go. Before we talk about your next

project, just explain how you came I fell into it. Very organic. I

started as a contributor nine years ago. As part of a documentary? Yes,

and they took me to India. It was about fast consumerism. You were

excellent. I don't know, I cannot watch myself in it now. From that

the boss called me in and said, you were inquisitive, you had empathy,

what do you reckon, do you fancy your own series? I was working at

Luton airport at the time selling purview.

LAUGHTER -- perfume. Can I get back to you?

No. We will now show a clip of you in Turkey where women's lives have

been ruined by Isis. Do you believe the Isis fighters are religious man?

You get access to some volatile situations and circumstances. Do you

ever get concerned for your safety? Sometimes. It wouldn't be natural if

you were not a bit cautious, apprehensive, but the channel are

spot on. They look after us. We have a local with us all the time. But

these are important stories. BBC Three does do that, I genuinely

believe they do brilliant documentaries. They are current

affairs issues, but they are not stuffy, they are not about

statistics... Real people. Exactly, and I think that is necessary. Do

you just rely on your own instinct, going in there, able to ask the

right questions, how'd you like to work as a documentary maker? I have

found my feet as I have gone along. The producers and directors are

brilliant. They put hours in beforehand. But you take them as

girls, as people, you try and find out what their lives are like and

how they feel. I think you can have preconceived ideas of what women

far-away are like. You do an excellent job. Thank you.

Now, to a hard-hitting documentary that will appear

The first episode of a second series of BAFTA award winning series,

"Life After Death Row". Here's an exclusive look...

Lieutenant Stuart Alexander died. He was killed by a suspect fleeing in

an SUV. When they finally let me see him in the hospital he asked me, did

I kill a police officer? I said yes, he died. Tears ran down his eyes. He

said I couldn't see. How could he have done it on purpose? He was

trying to get to me. He is a 21-year-old. He has police cars

chasing him. The silence, the chaos. Police say he was in the grass,

laying out a spike strip which stopped cars being pursued. --

police say the lieutenant was. He avoided it. He moved to the right

and he struck the officer. I want everybody to understand we will do

everything possible to make sure somebody like this is sent away

forever. I would have never tried -- had I never tried fleeing, nobody

would have died. It is partly my fault. I will accept my punishment.

I am ready, right? Gripping. It is online from 8pm

tonight. On a day where BBC Three feels

different. What a monument to stay. Remember, BBC Three is online now

and you can watch any of its content including

Greg's "Cuckoo", by Tomorrow, Britain's best close-up

magician who'll be making Adam Hills Goodbye.

Good night.
