16/05/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show. With Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. An

hour or so ago, an open topped bus left Jubilee Square in Leicester

carrying the Premier League champions look on a victory parade

through the town. It's all kicking off up in Leicester but the party

hasn't really stopped since that night at Jamie Vardy's house two

weeks ago. It's like as if we were there. Live to Victoria Park later

where Joe is with fans preparing the home coming. Tonight's guest is a

hero, a super hero. His character in the latest X-Men film has awesome

telekinetic and telepathic powers so we'll see if we can tell who the

guest is. Concentrate now. Anything there? Coming through? Did

you get it? For nigh mere mortals out there who didn't get it, it's

James McAvoy! APPLAUSE.

Great to see you. Thanks for having me. We were only watching you today

as Professor X and we find out in the movie why the character

Professor X is bald. Yes. Obviously played by Patrick Stewart in former

films. But there is a moment because you shave your own head don't you,

you are proper bald here? I'm proper bald, I go full-blown bald. There is

no half measures really. Look, I've been waiting for six years to go for

the full-blown bald so I was really glad that they let me do it. We've

got the clip. Talk us through as you are shaving here. Is Patrick Stewart

on the line while you are doing this? I thought you were going to

say is he on the loo? He's on the line. Yes, we managed to face time

him when we did this. That's my favourite bit. Then he gives you a

close shave afterwards, after that bit? Patrick? No. Felix shaved me

with the white stuff and all of that. We heard Patrick Stewart kept

a lock of your hair. I mean that's a bit weird isn't it? He's annoyed at

me for taking over so he wants a voodoo doll. He wanted me to send

him the hair so he could make it into a wig. It never happened but

the director's got it in a bag in his safe. In his house. Why? Which

is a little bit weird. And sometimes it wakes me up at night in cold

sweats. That is strange. 20 years down the line though it might be

worth a fortune. That is true. Strange. We have got a few fans in

the audience. We might introduce them later.

First, to a crime that cost ?400 million a year, it's caused fires,

explosions and even deaths. Nick Wallace has joined enforcement

authorities as they shine a light on the dark and dangerous world of

energy theft. Meet Joel and Piers, they are energy

theft investigators and tour the country tracking down people who

tamper with their gas or electricity supply to avoid paying what is due.

Fiddling a metre may sound harmless enough but when it's a gas supply

that is being tampered with, lives are in danger. Today they are in

Liverpool and the first stop of the day is a convenience store which

hasn't paid for any electricity for some time. Morning, Sir. British

Gas, just come to inspect the metre...

Joel and Piers soon work out the metre has been tampered with. They

collect the evidence and call in an engineer. Yes, got it. Now it's

switch off time. But something is up. They can still hear the hum of

electricity. So they head down to the basement. We've now disconnected

the supply to the whole of the shop and lo and behold everything town

here is still on. I can't believe how many freezers they've got. But

they are still switched on. We've got one here, one here, three along

the line there and in the other room, there are about three more at

least in one line. I don't think I've ever seen so many chiller

cabinets or freezers in one shop. It's a case now of finding out where

this metre is. This building it seems isn't just home to a

convenience store, there's also a butchers, a pool hall and a bar

above the shop and all are apparently getting their power from

the same illegal supply. Two hours in and they've still not found it.

Then Joel spots a possible source. But it's well hidden. OK. Yes, back

on. And the sockets. That's taken this lot out. The team cut the fuse

box for this completely unmeetered electricity supply and just as they

think their work is done, the boys make another dangerous discovery in

a chicken shop in the same complex. Not only have we spotted a

commercial gas metre there, it's illegal and the metre is in reverse.

The view on this gas metre is crystal clear. It's a ticking

timebomb. It's waiting to go wrong. And go wrong they do. In May 2013, a

home in Sheffield was destroyed and two more damaged in a gas explosion

on a residential street. Although any evidence of what caused the

explosion disappeared in the blast, when police and inspectors visited

other homes in the street, they found eight instances of energy

theft. The energy companies reckon around ?400 million worth of gas and

electricity are being stolen every year, adding about ?20 to our annual

household bills which means me and you are forking out for this. This.?

Back in Liverpool, Joel and Piers are trying to find the supply. It

seems someone's dug out pipes in the pavement, it's theft on an

industrial scale. They are going to dig outside and see where it's being

connected to the mains. The boys have one more job to do, work out

just how much electricity is being stolen and present the shopkeeper

with the bill and a warning. Very, very dangerous. That could easily

have started a fire and caused the whole lot to go up in smoke.

Unsurprisingly it's a heavy sum and they calculate the shop owes ?11,500

for the last three months. The next day, the owner pays up in full. The

UK revenue protection association says in 2014, around 150,000 cases

of suspected metre tampering were reported but only around 1,600

people a year are successfully prosecuted for it in the courts.

Mark Andrews is the team's head of revenue proshe cannion. --

protection. Who is doing this? Most people get a bill for gas and

electricity that they have used and a fine. Is that enough of a

disincentive for them? If we find you stealing, you lose your supply

until it's sorted. You get a bill for the energy stolen, then of

course these matters are reported to the police and there is a maximum

five years in prison for stealing energy.

Meanwhile, Piers and Joel are back on the road searching out more of

the 10,000 tampered supplies British Gas expects to find this year. If

you suspect anything of a neighbour or anything like that, you can

report anonymously to Crimestoppers. Time to talk about X-Men Apocalypse.

Let's start with a clip. What is it? Oh, God, he can control

all of us. Charles! The world needs the X-Men. That's why I'm here. To

fight. Not all of us can control our powers. Then don't. This is war.

Everything they've built... Will fall. And from the ashes of their

world, we'll build a better one. I've never felt power like this

before. Wow! When I'm saying that I've never

felt power like this before it's because I'm stealing it from all my

neighbours. Not even a titter from the audience. We appreciated that.

To be fair, you are in contact with those mutants, that's the whole

point of that scene. Tell us, how has this kind of, I mean it's an

incredible chain of films, this is the ninth film now, so how is the

story moving on? Electrically and ever more brilliantly. We are not

just doing the same thing the whole time, promise. Nine films haven't

run out of stories. To be honest, it's about we go from the innocence

of bumbling along X-Men into the type of people that maybe Eric is

who leads armies and into the type of person Charles is, a social

worker, teacher Professor by day and by night he's got a paramilitary

organisation in his basement. That's what this movie turns us into

really. It's still part of the origin-type stories a little bit

where it's still building towards the people you've seen in the

movies. We are still on a journey towards becoming Patrick Stewart.

You talk about the origins and where the characters have come from and

you are Mr X, Professor X in this one. I know. How much pressure do

you feel to know the back stories of the other characters because it's

really complex isn't it? Matt's got the encyclopedia. But where are you

on this? You must feel under pressure to know that when you meet

fans like we have in tonight. I forgot the name of angel, the real

angel. He's called? Warren Worthington III. There you go!

Raven, do you know your second name? No. Dark Horn. Carry on. Give got

the encyclopedia. Do you trawl the Internet for memorabilia, do you

carry stuff of your own character? I have collected a few things. When

you have Professor X you don't get involved a lot in the fight scenes

or a lot of the posters where people are flying in with fists and stuff

like that. Anything that's got Professor X on it, I'm always like,

I'm having that. I wore a T-shirt with my own character on. That is

not cool at all. At least you don't collect other people's hair yet. I

should wear a T-shirt with James McAvoy on it. This film is, the

majority of actors are British aren't they, so does it feel like a

British production? It did to begin with when we were first shooting the

X-Men first class, we shot in Pinewood and it was a British

director and it all felt very sort of home-grown and then the second

and third we did in Montreal with an American director and brought more

actors in who were British. It was devastating... No, it really just

feels like, rather than being concerned about being British or

American or Canadian or Australian, because big Hugh, he's Australian, I

don't know, we've all got a really good vibe on set and a really good

way of working with each other and it's not like once in a career time

or once in a lifetime, it's only happened to me two or three times in

my career, you get a group of people that get on that well. So apart from

the fact that the audience enjoy it, we have a lovely time together which

doesn't really mat tore the audience. It's a similar vibe to The

One Show. Exactly. We enjoy it! The film X-Men Apocalypse is released

this Wednesday and thank you to James! -- doesn't really matter to

the audience. One of James first major roles was

in Shameless about the adventures of the per poach chillily skint

Gallagher family. Shameless owes a debt of gratitude to a play first

performed 60 years ago. -- perpetually. Think of all the

dramas you love, happy valley, Coronation Street and Shameless all

portraying working class characters from the north with fire in their

bellies. But it wasn't always that way. A playwrighten in this room in

Derby 60 years ago changed the game and did so by making for the first

time a hero of a working class character. Written by John Osborne

in 1955, look back in anger centred around a very ordinary

claustrophobic bedsit. Its lead character, a young working class man

was expressing bitterness at a Britain ruled by a hypocritical

establishment and he mocks his middle class wife Alison. Out of my

sight. When it premiered in 1956, here at the Royal Court Theatre in

London, it was nothing short of revolutionary.

Up until then, theatre was a genteel middle class affair. Lords and

Ladies, RP act isn'ts, drawing rooms and gowns an gallons and gallons of

tea. One of those nice cucumber sandwiches you promised me.

Osborne's play wrestled gentility to the ground and gave it a good

kicking. I wonder if you might become a young recognisable human

being but I doubt it. The critics went wild. Kenneth Tynan did.

Serenely glowing, surrounded by middle aged faces. Gary Raymond

there for the first run and who later played Jimmy Porter's flat

mate remembers the controversy at the time. What was the reaction of

the audience around you? Cross, some of them thought, why

doesn't he get a proper job? Is it true that Look Back In Anger made

possible much of what followed? It created a road, people thought they

could write about these kind of people. And that led to the silver

screen, and Look Back In Anger was made into a film starring Richard

Burton and Gary played Cliff. What did Richard Burton bring to the

character of Jimmy Porter? Tremendous panache, he was tanned

and he glowed. Try washing your socks. And soon television was

getting in on the working class act. It was the dawning of a new era in

which culture and the gritty realism of ordinary life was told in

regional accents. Now, angry young men and women were ringing the

changes, and although John Osborne is credited with creating a working

class cultural Revolution, a lot of his own life on which the play was

based was a little more complex. He was from the affluent London

suburbs, attended public school and enjoyed the finer things in life.

Which he found here in the wine bars of posh Sloane Square. But he said

his middle-class upbringing had been suffocating and that has to be a

recipe for anger. Actor Peter Egan was John Osborne's friend in his

later years. Was he anything like Jimmy Porter? He was like an exposed

nerve. Did he come down with advancing years? He was more

completely what he was, vitriolic voice box. And he was not modest. I

think that why that particular play of mine worked was because it was

very well written. John Osborne wrote his last play in 1994, sequel

to Look Back In Anger. It sees Jimmy Porter living in a big country house

and Peter Egan played the angry, older man. I got to love the play

very much. Did you love Jimmy? Yes, I did. I admired John Osborne, he

was a hero of mine and I wanted to pay tribute to him. John Osborne

died in 1994, having been awarded the MBE. Part of the establishment

after all. # Don't look back in anger, I hear

you say... STUDIO: You have said you are worried about acting as a

profession becoming elitist, and you have set up an amazing scholarship

fund. What are you hoping to achieve? Helping young kids in

Scotland? That is it, helping people that want to try things out but

don't have the money to do it. I don't mind if acting is full of posh

actors, even though it will be healthier for it, but I don't really

mind, but I do care about the country which has a government which

does not allow everyone across the border have access to an education

which also includes art -- across the board. I think our can help ECB

and your limitations, it stops you going thinking you are only good

enough for that -- I think art can help and expand your limitations.

The eases way to keep society static is to get rid of art. Art in

education is at an all-time low, and that is why, I don't thing acting is

elitist, but the only fresh meat that the acting industry is getting

is from private schools. Because the other schools do not have any time

or any money to spend on art, it is a funding thing and government

prioritising the expansion... It sounds touchy-feely, but if you want

social mobility and you want your kid to have a better life than you,

art is very important, I think. You will like this next bit, we will get

the biggest story to come out of the shepherding world this week. I'm

ready. It is time for the headlines. A border collie called Cap has been

sold for nearly ?15,000, becoming the most expensive sheepdog in

Britain. The question is, is he going to be redundant but for the

receipt has been printed? Not if I have anything to do with it. We have

been looking at a technological rival looking to become the next

herding hero. Special operative in place. Recovery commencing. Device

being deployed. DRAMATIC MUSIC could technology be changing one of our

oldest traditions? Despite man's best friend having served well over

the years, it appears there might be a new contender to bring sheep

farming into the 21st-century. A video of a remote-controlled drone

herding sheep in Carlow Ireland went viral, for bringing captured the

footage. It is the sound of the drone that they should respond to,

it is quite noisy. If you go right, they will go left, and vice versa,

so you steer them in that way. You don't think the Shepherd will be out

of work? I cannot see a sheepdog with a Pienaar Colaba just yet, no.

But drones are the future, make no mistake. In Australia day use

helicopters to herd cattle, said that the days of traditional sheep

farming in the UK be numbered? -- so could the days. There is one man who

will not switch without a fight. Joe completed our One Show challenge to

form the show's logo with sheep, but what does he make of the debate? I

doubt we know, I've never seen a drone. My sheep are used to dogs and

only dogs and it would be interesting to see how they react to

this piece of technology. What advantages will a sheepdog has? It

will be interesting to see a drone tackling a sheep which has lambs.

This dog will do everything I ask him to do, the Malaysia should

becomes a bit strained, but I could not farm without these dogs -- the

relationship becomes a bit strained. Can you prove that his dogs are

still the top dogs? We have provided three challenges to test his herding

abilities. Paul will be working with our UK licensed drone operator on

how best to herd the flock of sheep. Now it is time to see which is

better, drone or dog. Is Gary ready? He is. He is off like a rocket. The

competitors have to get the five sheep around three posts and into

the pen. Very impressive. Only three minutes and 30 seconds. And now it

is time for the drone. And we are off. Go forwards. That is it.

Drop-down. With the drone struggling to complete the cause, it is a win

for the dog. For the second challenge, we are increasing numbers

to 50 and our competitors have got to herd the sheep from one field to

the next. The dog manages it in three minutes and 47 seconds, and

now it is the turn of the drone. They win with a timer two minutes

and 20 seconds, making it a tie. -- time of two minutes. And now the

deciding round. Much more complex. We will get a sheep driven down,

hopefully through one set of gates and then across the field through

the other set of gates and then hopefully through the opening at the

bottom. First up, the drone. Go back to the corner, quick, quick. Seven

minutes and 30 and now we can see how the dog gets on. And that is it.

Three minutes and 57, the dog definitely beats drone, what a

performance, well done Joe, and well done Gary. Top job. STUDIO: I could

have told you the outcome of that film. Goodness me. Jazz shake a bag

of feed and you will see the sheep come running. You can join me for

Shameless in September. Two weeks ago -- for One Man And His Drone in

September. Two weeks ago Leicester City were the winners of the Premier

League at odds of 5000-1 and we can see their open top bus parade. How

is it going? What is happening, the team have been going through the

city centre, the city has put on an incredible show, banners and

bunting, and we just saw the team bus go back round the back of this

stage we are expecting them to come on stage any minute. There are

thousands and thousands of people, I've been trying to get a sense of

what it means and I've been trying to speak to a few of the people. It

is opposed to be the foxes, but he was dressed as a tiger. I have been

speaking to people about what this means to them. One couple, foster

carers in Leicester, they said, finally people are getting the name

right. Finally, people are saying Leicester City. Another lady with a

wonderful electric blue headscarf, she says, she hates football, but

this is about unity and people coming together, and the spring in

best that, the underdog in Leicester -- the spring in their step. I want

to introduce you to the Mururajani family. We watched the game against

Manchester United a few weeks ago at their home. It was a nerve wracking

game. It has been incredible, it has not sunk in yet, but this is a

massive relief, that we have finally got over the line, but this is

beyond description. What is it like to be here? The most amazing

experience and the atmosphere is just amazing, lots of cheering,

Leicester City have made us proud today. And what a party. I did not

expect it to be, so many people, and all of the flags and these scarves

and the balloons, it made me happy, that I was here and that Leicester

City have won the league. You were a bit miserable when he did not beat

Manchester United? I'm happier now, but I did not know it would be like

this. I didn't know it would be all screaming, it is amazing, amazing to

see. Thank you very much, enjoy the party. Back to the studio. STUDIO:

Wonderful, can we have a round of applause? APPLAUSE

Hollywood have been in contact, they want to make a film Jamie Vardy's

life. We found a football of view playing football and we have put the

two together. -- of you. Uncanny. I'm a shoo-in for next year's

Oscars. You would like to do it? Are you kidding? I would love it. Jamie

Vardy's party, bringing it to Hollywood? Yes! Thank you very much,

James. X-Men Apocalypse is out in a few days. Tomorrow we will be in

Albert Square, saying goodbye to the East End's most famous landlady,

Peggy Mitchell. Until then, goodbye.
