16/08/2012 The One Show

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

Tonight we're joined by some great performers, starting with members

of our medal-winning male gymnastics squad.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Kristian, Dan and Sam. They are all

here with us. Lads, what a crazy time you've had. Sum up the last

week for us. As you said, I think crazy is the best word really.

We've got ushered from event to event, from interview to interview,

chaperoned from one thing to the next. It's literally been non-stop.

Yesterday I had a chance to see my family, my friends and girlfriend.

It is nice to get back to normality, and today I did more media, and

then down to London to do One Show. But I'm enjoying it. And it is a

strange bubble you've been living in. Very strange. We've been away

for a long time - five weeks now. Being part of the whole Olympic

experience, you almost forget the real world. Once you go back into

it, it's strange, like Kristian said, it's great to see your family,

your friends, and try and chill out a little bit. You are going to stay

with us this evening. We've got quite a cool guy will you be

sitting next to. Joining the boys on the sofa is the man who took

this song to the number one spot. # And they call it puppy love

# Oh I guess they'll never know # They'll never know

# How a young heart really feels # And that's why I love her so #

It can only be Donny Osmond! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

That was really cool, guys. How are you? Nice to see you. Hey! Guys!

How are you, man. How you doing? Congratulations, guys. That is so

cool. The first time the gymnasts have won a medal since 1908? I

imagine watching that on television in 1908. It was amazing.

Congratulations guys. What did you think of our choir? Where were you

when I recorded it? They weren't even born! That was beautiful.

Thank you. Urban Voices Collective sang at the closing ceremony. You

must feel their pain, Donny, because you did the opening

ceremony. In 2002 in Salt Lake City. It is nerve-racking. You are

thinking I'm just about to sing and 3 billion people are watching me,

so yeah, you get a little nervous. Did you see any of our Games?

in love with Gaby Douglas. I thought Rowan Atkinson started it

perfectly, and Her Majesty jumping out of a helicopter. It was

actually her doing that, right? was! It is nice to have you with us.

Earlier this week the torch carried by Bradley Wiggins sold at auction

for �13,000. But if you want an Olympic memento without breaking

the bank, Lucy Seigle might have I've come to this unassuming

warehouse in the Docklands of Essex to try to get first dibs on my own

souvenir. I want to remember the Games for as long as possible.

Fortunately this warehouse has been filling up over the last six days

with all sorts of practical bits and pieces from the Olympic Village.

What's in here? Well, you don't get more practical than this. An

Olympic loo brush! Almost every fitting and piece of furniture from

the athletes' village will arrive here to be resold. Clipboards.

Luggage tags. Bolt cutters. Hello, I know you are very busy. I'm on a

limit budget, is there anything you can recommend for me. A couple of

cones over there if you fancy them. I'm going to have a look. A white

folding chair from the stadium, �7. Usain Bolt could have sat in that.

I defy anybody to walk through these warehouses without being

tempted to have a good rummage. Clock. Don't be late for that final.

Traffic wand, �3.95. So Paul, you are in charge here, what exactly is

going on? Before the Games, all the goods came in, and after the Games,

it is all coming back. From the crack of dawn the lorries start

coming in. Everything here is far sale. It's all going to the public

on our website and then we've got a lot of products suitable for the

trade. How jigant sick this project? We've sold -- how jigantic

is this project? We've sold 6,500 beanbags. Is there anything that's

come in and you thought, that is not going to sell? When I saw

filing cabinets and chairs going to the United States and people

screaming on help lines because they want more, I'm not as

concerned as I was. Ceremonial flags and signed shirts are all

very well, but I'm very happy with my �4.95 Olympic loo brush. Every

time I see this I'm going to be reminded of those two fabulous

weeks in the summer of 2012. That is sick and wrong. That toilet

brush? Who would want to buy a toilet brush? It depends on whose

title... I have bought you something from the sale. Alex?

is amazing. It is from the American apartment. I'm scared. It is a bed-

side lamp. Plaus laws -- APPLAUSE Is it guaranteed? Yes. How am I

going to plug that in in the US? And you guarantee this is from the

Olympics? Will I be a Beth athlete? Ask these lads. Do you recognise

any of the things in the film? but I don't think anybody would

want to buy things from our apartment. Were you all together?

What was the set-up? Me and Dan shared a room, and lieu hiss a room

to himself. Fairly cosy but we made it our home for the two weeks.

there a curfew? Did you have to have lights out at a special time?

It was alright, especially after the competition. But before the

competition it was quite strict. Where the beds comfortable? You can

buy the beds and everything. said there are long ones for the

basketball players. Yes, elongated. I could do with a dining table.

There's a desk on there. Is the stadium for sale? It is a home for

all the Osmonds. Lads, going into that team final, lots of people

wouldn't have predicted that you would be in with a shout of a

bronze. How did you feel? Did you go in thinking, we are going to

have a great time and see what comes of it or plan for a medal?

The main aim for us was to go in there. We made the team final and

that was a big success in itself. Of course. Our aim was to go in

there and have fun, tried not to push too much pressure on ourselves.

Just seeing you there Dan. You got round to fourth piece. This was the

last piece. It was you against the lads on rings as well. Incredible

how you managed to hold your composure. Watching it on TV as

well, when I got barks it was so exciting to see. I can't imagine

people watching it live. APPLAUSE We can just hear some of your fans.

Would you like to see me doing due that right now? We would love to.

don't think so! It would be the last thing I ever do. Today is A-

level results day. We hope you all had what you want. Boys, how did

you balance being a gymnast with school life, because gymnasts start

young traditionally. My school were good with me, allowed me to have

time off when I needed it if I had to go abroad for competitions. I

used to train in the morning before school, so would turn up a bit late

new and then. But they were fine with it. They allowed me to catch

up on the work I did miss. I think if you want to get good, be good at

sport. You do know anyone with results today? A couple of mates.

Did they do well? If not, they'll be at the bar. Fingers crossed. You

can relive part of the closing ceremony at the end of the show.

Earlier today the High Court rejected a plea by Tony Nicklinson,

who suffers from locked-in syndrome. Tony is trapped inside his

paralysed body and he wanted a doctor to be able to end his life

without fear of prosecution. There is no chance of Tony getting better,

but some with locked-in syndrome can recover. Dr Sarah Jarvis meets

a man at the start of a very long journey.

Eyes can say a lot. A lock, an expression, eye contact. They are

all vital to the way we express ourselves. But what if your eyes

were the only way you could communicate? On the 9th August 2010,

Mark Ellis became a father. When his wife Amy gave birth to their

daughter, lola. He was 22, newly married, happy, and healthy. But

just two weeks later he had become even more helpless than his newborn

child. Mark suffered a massive stroke. He was alive and his brain

as alert as ever, but he was completely paralysed. Mark had

locked-in syndrome. Trapped in his own body, he was able only to move

his eyes. Locked-in syndrome is a sin droll normally caused bay

stroke, where an area at the base of the brain is damaged. The rest

of the brain, the thinking part of the brain, remains intact. So the

patient is in the terrible situation that they are unable to

move, unable to communicate, but able to think normally and

understand what people are saying to them. I could see in his eyes

that Mark was still there. Amy was right. Mark was fully aware, but

the future looked bleak. Most locked-in syndrome patients will

die. But two years on Mark is out of hospital and at home. He and Amy

realised they had a secret weapon - their daughter, lola. As she

developed, Mark could follow her lead. Lola the baby became Lola the

teacher. A speech therapist suggested that because Lola started

to speak Mark followed the noises to bring on his speech. Did that

help? Did it feel odd making the same noises as Lola? Strange to

hear your own voice. Mark's head, he is still speaking the same.

about their walking? Lola was just toddling. Mark was walking with his

frame, taking small steps. We had a joke, who was going to be first to

walk? Do you see how far you have come? You still look at your life

as before. Neither of us would have done it

without lolla. She's so funny. She is.

Mark and Amy have taken inspiration from the remarkable story of mother

of three Kate Allatt. A stroke left her locked in three years ago. She

was told she would never walk or talk again. It made me come out

fighting. I thought, damn the lot of you, you have written me off.

They established I could understand, one blink for no and two for yes. I

was ecstatic. I mean, I can't describe it. It was like, thank God

you know I'm in here. Kate has gone on to make an astonishing recovery.

Now an author, she deadcates herself to inspiring and helping

others in similar situations, and campaigning for better

rehabilitation care for strokes patients. This very notion that

patients plateau or don't make any more progress is in my opinion not

true, because plateau means the money runs out to help you get

before. Doctors should absolutely spell out, this is the worst-case

scenario, however, I'm an example. I know around the world hundreds of

examples of people who've survived. It is changing people's attitudes,

because we are still the same inside.

Back in Derbyshire Mark and Amy's secret weapon, Lola, continues to

inspire her dad. But the family realities they still have a long,

difficult road ahead. Every day is a struggle. Every day is a battle.

You've just got to take every day as it comes, as hard as it is.

Never give up. Never think, "I can't do it." Because you can do it,

What a story. That lady is such an inspiration to be able to overcome

such adversity, what inspiration. Thank you for a player that.

Sometimes we take things for granted, quite a bit we take things

for granted. Just the fact we can sit here and talk. People cannot do

that with locked in syndrome, they blink. So speaking of health, you

are looking good. Raring to go for your new tour? Before we talk about

that, I have been looking forward to doing the show. I tweeted about

this a couple of hours ago. Did you see it? This is what I said.

Looking forward to being on the show with Miss Alex Jones and Matt

Baker. We go live at 7pm at the BBC One show. This is what I got back

from Maggie Benabbad. Matt does not have a Twitter account any more.

Maybe you can persuade him to open a new one. He is an ADF will start

a while, there we go. I put the idiot part in their. -- he is an

idiot.. It is 2012. Let's talk about the tour. We are opening up

at the O2 Arena. It will be the first time I have performed in

London for a long time. We are bringing our Las Vegas show and a

whole lot more to the UK. I can hardly wait. There is definitely a

bars. Is it a scaled-down version of Las Vegas? You have won best

performer, you beat Celine Dion. Yes, it was awarded the best show

in Las Vegas for 2012. What we Abba winning here is not a scaled-down

version, it is an upscale version, we are bringing the lot. You did

the show in Las Vegas for four years. Six shows a week. Where does

the stamina come from? I have no idea. I wonder how I get through it

every night because I'd rip with sweat, all the dancing. We do not

just get up there and sing songs in front of a microphone. We leave it

all on the stage. You have been doing this since a young age. Has

your inspiration and energy changed throughout your life? Mike outlook

on the business has changed. At first I was a five-year-old kid

having a good time and I had no idea how many people were watching

on television. Then I did Puppy Love and I loved the screaming.

Then reinventing myself and coming back later on. Now it is all about

picking and choosing the fun things because I am celebrating 50 years

in the business. It is not like I want to keep climbing that ladder

because I have to climb the ladder, I want to do things that are fun.

We are going to do this because it is going to be so much fun. I work

hard, but I love it. It is great view and Marie are back together,

but is there a chance the whole family will come back? No. Why do

you say that? A lot of them cannot perform any more so the 2008-we did

hear was the last one. That was the last one. You have just become a

grandfather for the 4th time. We saw that on Twitter as well. Yes.

Matt doesn't know this stuff. He is not connected. Get with it, Matt.

Follow me on Twitter, gets an account. I have been there and done

that. What kind of grandfather are you. I guess I am a fan grandfather.

I act like one of the kids. My wife and I have had five children, but

she has raised six because I act like a kid around the house. It is

hard for me to see that I'm a grandfather. I act like I am in my

twenties on stage. Interestingly, you did not push your children in

the way that your dad pushed you. Well, I will not say my dad pushed

me. When I was 12, 13, I made a conscious effort, this is what I

want to do. Up until then it was dance in front of the Mirror, make

it better. But I did say I wanted to do that for the rest of my life.

It is incredible you decided to do that at that age. When you have got

lots of girls screaming, it is an easy decision. My family from Wales

have come to see you, we have got people outside who have come to see

you. I have got some of the most loyal fans. Straight after lunch

today they were out there. But the demographics have changed so much.

Younger kids are starting to realise who I am. On Strictly Come

Dancing this little kid came to Las Vegas to see us perform. He was in

the queue waiting to meet me and his excitement was growing. He

wanted to shake the champion's hand. I grabbed his hand and he looked at

me and he said, I did not know you could sing as well! You can see

Doney and very on tour in the UK from January. Another group who

defined the 70s, the Rolling Stones are up there with the Olympics of

having one of the most recognisable logos around. How did one of the

world's biggest bans become one of the world's biggest brands? Carrie

Grant has the story. Music is big business. Today's

artists need talent, but almost as important a need a whole team of

accountants and merchandising experts. If they get to the very

top, that is when they transform into something truly gigantic. When

bans have become brands, there is only one that can claim to have

become the first and the biggest. This logo has been with us for more

than 40 years. Since 1971, it has appeared on every single album

artwork and it is so simple and distinctive and it has become one

of the most recognisable brand images in the world. I thought the

logo was based on that mouth and those lips, but there is more to

the story than that. John is the man who designed it. He was still

at art college when he was given the opportunity to work with the

Rolling Stones. They phoned the college and asked them to send a

student around to talk to Mick Jagger about their European tour

poster. I went into a meeting room and there was Mick Jagger. Were you

nervous? Very. Mick Jagger loved the poster design and he was so

impressed he asked him to look at another smaller project. I was

invited back about the logo which was going to be small, it may be

used for a letter heads. It was not a huge deal at the time. Mick

Jagger showed me a picture of an Indian goddess and said, I like

this. She is the goddess of time and change and you only have to

look at her for a few seconds to see where he got his inspiration

from. I thought this was Mick Jagger. That is part of it, but the

main reason I chose this is because it was the symbol for protest and

anti- authority. I thought it would work for the Rolling Stones.

logo became part of popular culture almost immediately. Was it a fluke,

or is it really that brilliant a design? John had just graduated

from the Royal College of Art when he designed the logo and the tutors

here are still the experts. What is it about this that makes it work?

It is a sharp piece of graphic design which means you can use it

anywhere. But it also says something about the kind of

lifestyle and the image. Were the Rolling Stones the first band to

brand themselves? Even the Beatles had a distinctive way of

typesetting their name, but what the Rolling Stones did his they

understood a long time ago that merchandise, the stuff you sell in

the stadiums, make as much money, if not more money, than the records.

Merchandising has sent the low go global. It is not just the Rolling

Stones to have flaunted the tongue and the lips, it is just as well.

But the original letter John got confirming that they were hiring

him, gave no hint of how huge it would become. We have asked you to

create a logo or symbol which may be used on notepaper or on an arm

uncover or a cover for the Press book. What was your feet? It was 50

Guineas. But John has recently managed to earn a tidy sum or by

selling the original artwork to the Victoria and Albert Museum. He is

also able to make five or original pieces baked on the label. This is

just as fresh today as it was in 1971 and it captures everything

people of about the Rolling Stones. If you want an example of the

perfect logo, look no further than this. That story was not accurate.

Why? The way they came up with the logo with the tongue as if it was

going up, they were listening to a Marie Osmond album! Behave yourself.

It was either that are a Donny Osmond album. Look at all this.

This is original merchandise from the 70s. I never knew some of this

existed. This is great. It is a little karaoke machine. You say you

did not realise a lot of this existed, but did any of it go

through you as a family were you said, I do not like this, do not do

this. No, somebody made a lot of money out of the brand. It was not

until eBay came out that I realised how much was out there. What do you

feel about it? Do you have any of this at home? It is OK now, but

there was a time in my life when I thought it was damaging a brand.

grand daughter would love that. do not think so. Talking of

damaging the brand, in the late 80s, even Michael Jackson said that your

name was poison. That is right, I asked him. I asked him how I got

back onto the tracks. He had gone into superstardom. I said, how do

you do it? He said, changing your name. He was quite right. When I

came out with a song under a different label, nobody knew it was

me. Some stations did not want to admit they were playing Donny

Osmond music because it was seen as goody goody. So I had to reinvent

myself with the Soldier of Love. And you have gone back to that nice

image now. I am who I am. I enjoy my career, I love my life, I love

what I do. I have been doing it for 50 years. That tour that is coming

up, I can hardly wait to launch this tour because it is going to be

so much fan. I cannot wait until January. We want to remind you that

at 8 o'clock this evening on BBC One you can see our award handed

out at the first ever BBC 999 Awards. Hours celebrates members of

the public's quick-thinking in emergency situations and it is part

of a larger celebration of the servicemen and women who risk their

lives every day. Dad used so much. And Matt is going to get a Twitter

account and follow me. We promised you a bit more of the closing

ceremony. Here are the urban voice is collected with the song they
