Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Tonight's guest was famous as a lady before he was famous as a man. | :00:13. | :00:23. | |
:00:23. | :00:43. | ||
Now he is such a famous man, but we It is, of course, Paul O'Grady. | :00:43. | :00:48. | |
That is a face I haven't seen for while. On that note, you put her to | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
bed. I did. I put her in a convent. Is it right she is coming out of | :00:55. | :01:01. | |
the convent? Yes, this Christmas we are doing Aladdin at the O2. Not in | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
the massive arena. They have built a performance area. This is the | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
last time and then she is back in that convent. Bricked up in a wall! | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
For definite. I did it in Southampton and it was such a | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
lovely cast I was working with. I love Southampton, we had such a | :01:19. | :01:28. | |
great time. I said go on then. It is good fun. You are also doing a | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
stage version of Coronation Street. I am. We will talk about that in a | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
moment. I'm sure that Lily Savage would have used her fair share of | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
hair dye over the years. Most of us don't give a second thought to | :01:40. | :01:49. | |
changing the colour of our hair, It is a story we last reported on | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
in 2009. It wasn't me. I wasn't looking at myself, it was someone | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
different. Severe allergic reactions believed to be linked to | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
a chemical used in the most common hair dyes that you can have that | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
hairdressers or buy in the shops. The majority of people who dye | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
their hair don't have any kind of reaction, but there continues to be | :02:09. | :02:15. | |
stories of people who say they have. In some cases, they are incredibly | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
severe. Last October, Russell's wife Julie ended in a coma after | :02:22. | :02:26. | |
what he believes was an allergic reaction to dyeing her hair. | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
heard her scream and I thought she had seen the spider at first. I | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
rushed to the bottom of the stairs and she was on her knees at the top | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
of the stairs saying she could not breed. She was conscious in the car, | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
but halfway to the hospital, she went unconscious. As I lifted her | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
out of the car, I had a nose -- nurse say her heart had stopped. | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Julie survived but five months later she is still seriously ill in | :02:55. | :02:58. | |
hospital. Her family don't want to show any pictures of her in her | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
current condition as it is too distressing. I don't know if she is | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
aware we are there. She is classed as conscious, but she can't speak. | :03:10. | :03:18. | |
We don't even know if she can see. She never had any problems. Never | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
in a million years expect something to happen like that through dyeing | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
your hair. Her reaction was severe and it could be another month | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
before her family finds out what the future holds. The chemical in | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
question is called PPD and is known to cause severe allergic reactions | :03:33. | :03:38. | |
in some people. It is very common in hair dyes, with the amount used | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
strictly controlled by law. Lawyer Greg has got over 40 cases of | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
suspected allergic reactions to hair dyes for top we might see a | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
ban on PPD in hair dye products, but if it is not banned, we would | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
want a restriction on the sale to under 16 year-olds. We would want | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
greater awareness at the point of sale, in shops and chemists, more | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
information. And potentially behind the counters so people have to get | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
information before they can buy this product. We have spoken to the | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
European Commission who told us they have been researching the | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
risks posed by PPD and that they are particularly worried about the | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
growing number of young people using it and its impact on them. | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
Like the case of 14-year-old Chloe Robins. Last year her mum helped | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
dye her hair for a Hallowe'en party with a non-permanent product. Not | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
advised to be used by those under 16. We did a patch test on Thursday | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
and then waited until Saturday. patch test was fine? Yes. On the | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
Saturday evening I dyed her hair and within a couple of hours the | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
reaction started. It wasn't so much what she looked like, it was how | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
ill she was within herself. I didn't know what was going to come | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
next. Did you feel any responsibility? On the packet it | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
was a not recommended for U16s. course I did as her mother. I put | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
it on her hair. You would think that by now, it is safe. When | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
there's a product that you go and buy that everybody uses, you don't | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
stop to think to yourself, is this safe? Millions of people die their | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
hair every year and for the vast majority they have no side-effects. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
But consultant dermatologist Dr Ian White is interested in those that | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
do for job for longer the exposure to it, the frequency of VAT -- | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
application, the more likely the allergy. In could be after the | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
first encounter or after 20 years, 30 years or never. Using hair dye | :05:42. | :05:50. | |
it is safe? By definition, they are not safe. There's a warning of a | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
package warning that it may cause an allergic reaction and these | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
reactions can be severe. How do people protect themselves again | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
something like this? We have spoken to people who have done the patch | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
test and they were fine. recommended tests are not foolproof. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
One of the problems is the issue of false negative reactions. The | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
industry recommended tests don't actually detect the people who have | :06:14. | :06:18. | |
significant allergy to the chemicals. The industry say the | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
allergy test is effective when carried out as instructed. But that | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
it is not possible to guarantee that a reaction will not to care | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
even if the test has been carried out. -- will not occur. Russell and | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
his family just one Julie back. is difficult. Words can't really | :06:38. | :06:47. | |
describe. We just miss her so much. You can't imagine what it must be | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
like. Unbelievable. We are joined by Michael Douglas. How many people | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
are affected by this? We heard in the film Simon said the vast | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
majority are not. It seemed quite scary, but in the 24 years I've | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
been hairdressing, I've never seen anything like this. There are 100 | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
million applications have, in the UK every year and only 0.1% have a | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
reaction like this. It is really rare. You are more likely to get a | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
reaction from eating peanuts or strawberries or something like that. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
The problem is this chemical called PPD which causes analogy in some | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
people. Why is this in their hair dye? That is literally the hair | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
colour. Most people want to cover cray hair and the PPD gives you | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
that coverage. PPD is in a lot of dark colours and there's less of it | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
in the blonde colours. There is a government law, European law, that | :07:46. | :07:52. | |
states you are only allowed 2% as a maximum amount in any hair dye. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
scary thing is how quickly it comes on. In Julie's case, it was almost | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
instant, but with Chloe as well, a matter of hours. How do you protect | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
yourself? You have to do a skin test. 48 hours before, you have to | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
mix up the stuff you were used, but it on your arm, put it on the back | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
of your leg, leave it for 48 hours. If it rubs off, put more on. You | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
will find out whether you were likely to react or not. It is not | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
foolproof, but it is highly recommended. If you go to a salon | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
for the first time, they will do a skin test. But what you need to do | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
is make sure you have a new one every time you go back to the same | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
salon. Usually they will say if you have had it before, you will be | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
fine. You should have it done each time. Fizzes about hair colouring | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
across the board, in salons and at home. -- this is. They are the same | :08:49. | :08:56. | |
products, they all have PPD in it. What about hairnet? -- a henna? | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
Young people getting these black henna tattoos. This is PPD directly | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
on the skin and its sensitises them. I'm having it done tomorrow as | :09:05. | :09:14. | |
well! This is black henna and it is illegal in Europe. You can get it | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
in various places, but try to avoid it. What about vegetable dyes? | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
you want coverage of grey hair, not that you need it. There's not | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
enough dye going to cover this! Thereof vegetable ones out there | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
that are more natural, but they have some PPD in them. But it is | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
still there. You take that risk if you dye it. Instruction leaflets, | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
call the helpline, follow the instructions. You wouldn't believe | :09:46. | :09:54. | |
it. Thank you. Boxing fans, feast your eyes on this. You will love it, | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
Paul. Henry's belt. One of three belts coming up for auction next | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
month at Bonhams held by one of the greatest fighters this country has | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
ever produced, Sir Henry Cooper. Tonight we hear from his son's as | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
they remember growing up with a man who knocked out Muhammad Ali. | :10:18. | :10:27. | |
we go. The fight of the year. Clay against Cooper. He has heard him! | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
Clay is hanging on. My earliest recollections is of my dad as a | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
fighter, when he fought Cassius Clay. He had that iconic moment | :10:38. | :10:47. | |
when he knocked him down in the ring. Funny, looking at that at | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
work. Two sides of the man. The way he was there and the way he was at | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
home. We never saw any of that at home, he was a very gentleman. The | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
normal dad, not a fighter. The only thing I can remember of Dad being a | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
fighter is one evening he came in, I was four, he gave me a kiss on | :11:07. | :11:13. | |
the cheek and I remember stitches death -- just touching my forehead. | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
Dad was about seven when he started boxing as a kid. With me and Henry, | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
he never pushed us down that line. Dad knew mum never liked fighting. | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
He never encouraged us to get involved. Dad's training started | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
about three months before a fight and he would never be at home, he | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
would go away. It would make him mean in a sense because he wouldn't | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
have any creature comforts. Cooper's left died is in a shocking | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
state. Mum hated boxing. couldn't stand it. She didn't like | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
it at all. She would be upstairs just praying, she did not want to | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
listen to the fight. Eventually somebody would say it was all over | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
and she would come down and then relax. It's all over in round five. | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
:12:10. | :12:12. | ||
She would never tell Dad to retire Dad's favourite pastime. He used to | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
live on the gold -- golf course! Turned out to be good golfer in the | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
end. That's right. He did a load of work for kids charities playing | :12:22. | :12:30. | |
golf. Dad was one of the only boxers ever to be knighted by the | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
Queen. For his charity, but it was more for the boxing. Dad was in the | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
public eye for a good 40 years. He did have a bit of help, though. | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
bit of help from the aftershave! Terrific win. Splash it all over! | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
Lovely way to freshen up. Eyewear writ for a better reason. I like it. | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
That advert was very good for us. Dad used to stack it in the garage, | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
up to the roof. We used to shoot the stuff, the shaving foam we used | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
to get. Mum and dad used to go mad. We would cover the garden in white | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
foam. Dad got annoyed because he didn't have any shaving foam. I | :13:16. | :13:24. | |
used to sell it in school! That was that's first trophy. It was as a | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
schoolboy. He has always kept it. Nothing marked on it. It meant a | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
lot to him. He was very proud of that. Things we would have liked to | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
have kept, like the Lonsdale belts he won through his career for | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
winning the British heavyweight championship, they had to go when | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
the Lloyd's crash happened. He knew they could bring in some money so | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
he put them up for auction. They did not bring in as much as he | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
wanted, but it helped a lot. As Dad said, he had his name on them and | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
nobody could take that off him. As he also said, they were no good for | :13:58. | :14:04. | |
holding up your trousers! The last few years would quite tough on him. | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
Very tough. He was diagnosed with his heart condition. Then mum fell | :14:10. | :14:16. | |
ill the day after. She passed away. We went to the hospital and we saw | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
Dad in the car park crying and saying, your mum is dying. We had | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
never seen him cry before. always thought it would be Dad to | :14:26. | :14:36. | |
It's a special painting. We used to have it in Norway, his eyes used to | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
follow you around the room. We miss him dearly. He was a loving father, | :14:40. | :14:47. | |
he loved my mother dearly and we miss him very much. What a man he | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
was. Paul, your eyes lit up. I met him twice, Henry Cooper. He was | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
lovely. Most boxers are. They are really nice people. You used to be | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
a boxer yourself? I was hardly a threat! You haven't got one of | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
those belts? I used to do a bit of amateur boxing. I was in the Marine | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
Cadets. They sent me off to this as well. I liked the Marines. I didn't | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
mind the boxing. My dad said, you are getting a bit violent. | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
partake? Oh, if anyone starts, that is it! It is still there, it flares | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
up. By love going to watch Amir Khan fight. He's the business. I | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
love the atmosphere in a boxing match. It's just great, it really | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
is. You can't beat a good night out. Kids should do it because it | :15:39. | :15:46. | |
teaches them all sorts. Self control. My dad didn't teach me! | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
I'll teach you later in the car- park. You can give me a good slap. | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
Let's get on to Coronation Street, Street Of Dreams, Coronation Street | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
the musical. How are they transferring it to a musical? | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
are they transferring it? The set is the street. You have a huge set. | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Everything revolves around so you can see inside the houses. There is | :16:12. | :16:17. | |
a brilliant cast. There really is a brilliant cast, playing all of the | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
various characters through the years of Coronation Street. Let's | :16:21. | :16:31. | |
:16:31. | :16:34. | ||
have a look. Hilda and Stan, here # Look at how we've progressed. | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
# He or drowning in champagne. Let me come and kiss you. | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:51. | ||
# I'm not sure blooming sister, I'm The songs are wonderful. They took | :16:51. | :16:59. | |
the original dialogue from the shows and made it into a song. The | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
first number is even a sharp fall. It's just glorious. All of the | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
songs are so clever. What are you doing? I'm going on a journey | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
through the street. Katy Cavanagh, who plays Julie Clark, she is the | :17:19. | :17:25. | |
Angel. We've got a double act going. She's great to work with. We are on | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
the same wavelength, with the script. She'll come up with | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
something, I will come up with something and we get excited. I'm | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
really looking forward to getting on stage. You've been rehearsing | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
today and you've done a bit of a dance? I always panic we dance | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
routines. It's OK for you two. You see me in the front room, trying to | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
remember. When I get out there, straight out of my head. Don't | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
worry about it, it will come. it will not! Been there, done it | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
and got the T-shirt. When I was in the Annie, it took me five weeks to | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
learn easy street. I got it in the end. I could get up and do it now, | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
if you like. Once learned, never forgotten. Also starring his Julie | :18:10. | :18:18. | |
Goodyear, famous for playing Bet Lynch. Away from the drama of the | :18:18. | :18:24. | |
street, what stories have the real barmaids of Manchester? We pulled | :18:24. | :18:34. | |
Sometimes I feel like a mother to 200 people. Look after everybody | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
and make sure everybody has a good time. You have to be a psychologist, | :18:38. | :18:45. | |
a good listener. You've even got to be a doctor. They all want to come | :18:45. | :18:50. | |
in and tell you, what do you think this is? Most customers think you | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
want to go out with them because you are being friendly and want to | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
talk to them. The more beer they have, the more they think you like | :18:56. | :19:04. | |
them. I've seen men arguing over an ugly woman. They would not argue | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
the day after, when they went drunk. They come in separately and they | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
leave separately, they said their holding hands and we have to | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
pretend we haven't seen them, get the glasses and leave them to it. | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
I've definitely seen the ghost. I'm not sure if people believe me or | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
not and I really don't care. We've had glasses flying from the bar for | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
no apparent reason. They put it down to the Friendly Ghost. It's | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
not a scary ghost. Apparently it's a sailor following me around | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
smoking their pipe. At least I've got company on my own, which is | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
great. We had the Coronation Street cast not long ago. Do you remember | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
the Scottish guy that was doing the murders? We had Dick and Dom. We | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
didn't know which one. I think that Paul O'Grady has been here. I've | :20:02. | :20:08. | |
had people who have been thrown out of one door, they'd come into a | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
different door, thinking it's a different pub. I say, I've told you | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
that you're not getting a drink. They say, it's might win! I've seen | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
people coming in in disguise, saying it was their brother! I say, | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
get out of my pup! I don't want to hear about it, that is it, you are | :20:29. | :20:38. | |
barred! Don't you dare come back, Briton's Protection, you remember | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
it well? There are not a lot of public houses I remember. I have a | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
blackout when I come in and then I am carried out. My favourite pub in | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
Manchester is The Grapes, I love that pub. It kills me that they are | :20:57. | :21:02. | |
all on the decline And All Closing. After try to support them. | :21:02. | :21:11. | |
might have been celebrating, you had a birth. We have a picture of | :21:11. | :21:20. | |
the baby. Hand delivered, by May! How did that happen? We don't know | :21:20. | :21:29. | |
how she got pregnant, we don't have a round! -- a male one. Don't start | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
this, I know why sleepwalker, but... About feeding the pigs, my ally is | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
pregnant as well, it's all go, we are very fertile. I heard the sheep | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
kicking off. There was a leg hanging out of the back. At the | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
time I had a nice cashmere sweater. So I had to take that off, I'm | :21:51. | :21:59. | |
topless. Front or back like? Back. I had to put my hand in. I | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
apologise if you are having your teeth. I had to turn it around. | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
Before I knew it, it was on my lap. I gave it a good wash. That's | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
amazing. From one farmer, to another. It was just the most | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
wonderful experience. I could have cried. You called it Raphael? | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
mother is called a Angel, nothing to do with celestial beings, it's | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
that vampire from the telly. I ran out of names, so I had to go down | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
the biblical route. I never miss Countryfile. I can see me in there, | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
as they are popping out. You know what it is like. It's just the most | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
wonderful experience. Still my favourite time of year. I love them, | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
Will tend to think of Cool Britannia has been something from | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
the 90s, with Blur, Oasis, Damien Hirst and the Spice girls are | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
leading the way. But Britain was cool long before that, as we found | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
out when we sent our style guru 200 years back in time. | :23:13. | :23:20. | |
Puffed-up, powdered and pampered, the fashionable male of the 18th | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
century or flamboyant clothes, a wig and make-up and rarely washed. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
Vincenti 99, a gentleman arrived to change the way that men dressed | :23:29. | :23:39. | |
forever. -- in 1899. Beau Brummell was one of the most famous men in | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
England. His passion for clothes made him the ultimate dandy. Today, | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
we think of a dandy as somebody he was flamboyant, overdressed and | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
elaborate. Absolutely not, the exact opposite. He projected a sort | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
of urban cool, a very masculine image, elegant and simple. The | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
opposite of the Peacock. Do you think I might have the makings of a | :24:03. | :24:10. | |
Beau Brummell? Not quite like that, but we will see what we can do. | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
vision was that a gentleman should be elegant, sophisticated and, most | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
importantly, clean. A nice clean shave. What was the Beau Brummell | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
routine? It was revolutionary. He was fastidious against -- about | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
hygiene, bathing and shaving. The Crown and Glory was his hair, which | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
he war without a wig, and powdered, a natural head of hair, a new | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
fashion for new men. Groomed to perfection. Am I ready for my | :24:41. | :24:51. | |
transformation? Almost! He was a regular at a wine merchants in St | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
James's. 200 years on, it is still here. I rather hoped that you had | :24:58. | :25:03. | |
brought me here to sample the fine wine. Instead you have placed me on | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
this Swain. Why am I here? He cared about his figure, his famously | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
athletic figure. With his finely cut clothes, he wanted to stay at | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
the same weight. He came with the likes of Lord Byron to be weighed. | :25:16. | :25:21. | |
It's one of the few places you could get weighed. Originally they | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
were coffee scales, but they were brought in as a marketing thing, to | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
tempt people into by wind and to get weighed. I'm ready for action? | :25:29. | :25:37. | |
Not quite, you will need these. Bubbles? Cheers! Beau Brummell was | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
so particular about his appearance that he would clean his boots with | :25:41. | :25:51. | |
:25:51. | :25:52. | ||
champagne. This man had style. What do you think? Dandy! Come on. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
transformation will take place at his very own tailors, Jonathan | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
their work with him to revolutionise the way men dressed, | :26:02. | :26:10. | |
signalling the beginnings of the suit. They are still in business | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
:26:20. | :26:20. | ||
Look at you. I'm getting at? Absolutely. A few key items before | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
you buy a proper Beau Brummell dandy. The topping off ceremony, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
the cravat, the origins of the collar and tie that we wear to this | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
day. You'll have to take a deep breath. Look up. How are you | :26:31. | :26:39. | |
feeling? It forces one's head up a bit. It is a neck caused it. With | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
his tailor, he took inspiration from military attire for the jacket | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
and, for the first time, encouragement to swap breeches for | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
trousers. Everybody copied his radical, understated look. He's one | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
of our unsung heroes. You can't understate his impact on fashion at | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
the time. But this has gone global, the suit is around the world to | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
this day and it has its origins in this city, in our culture. I think | :27:08. | :27:12. | |
I'm ready to hit the town. The question is, is the town ready for | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
me? Sadly, his own life fell short of his ideals of good taste and | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
elegance. He fell out with the Prince Regent, squandered his | :27:20. | :27:27. | |
wealth and died of syphilis. 200 years ago, he said to be truly | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
elegant one should not be noticed. But he was. As a consequence, he | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
changed the whole world of fashion. It's raised our hats to the creator | :27:37. | :27:44. | |
I would raise my hat if I had one. It's surprising what you can do in | :27:44. | :27:50. | |
a suit. Here you are at Crufts. That was wonderful. Agility, in a | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
suit. Frank, he took off like a bullet. Of course, I am going | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
behind him, jumping over the jumps myself. I got confused. We did it | :28:01. | :28:08. | |
in 23 seconds. He won. It was the most glorious day. I'd rather go to | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
Crufts than the Oscars, put it that way. They were waiting for you to | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
cross the line, after him? It's really nice that a Battersea dog | :28:18. | :28:24. | |
won. It's such a good place, the Dogs Home. I've made a series there | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
and I just love it. By going the gate and blind in my element. Would | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
you hand reared these puppies? could talk to you all night long, | :28:33. | :28:39. |
