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

:00:19.:00:22.

Tonight we have got a show full of epic adventurers.

:00:22.:00:27.

We are going to meet the man who has just run, rowed and cycled

:00:27.:00:30.

across America despite having Parkinson's disease.

:00:30.:00:35.

We have got the brave Brit about to start a new epic job in the only

:00:35.:00:45.
:00:45.:00:51.

post office in Antarctica. Shock, horror. Find out who will be

:00:51.:00:58.

taking on this year's epic Rickshaw Challenge for Children in Need.

:00:58.:01:04.

It is not the bear. Who better to join us than a man

:01:04.:01:06.

who has travelled around the world in 80 days?

:01:06.:01:13.

And a man who has travelled around 420 metres to be here are, because

:01:13.:01:21.

he is around the corner. Michael Palin and Alexander Armstrong!

:01:21.:01:25.

So nice to have you here. Michael, it has been five years

:01:25.:01:29.

since the last travel series. I was going to give up travelling.

:01:29.:01:38.

I was going to give up after around the world in 80 days. I nearly 70

:01:38.:01:44.

now. My have got to stay at home and get the is in the frame out. --

:01:44.:01:50.

in the is enough frame. Brazil suddenly became the talk about

:01:50.:01:55.

country. Not just the economics, but the World Cup, the real

:01:55.:02:02.

Olympics. I had to go and see it. And you're not the only one who has

:02:02.:02:06.

been travelling, Michael. Xander has been somewhere exotic.

:02:06.:02:14.

I have been to a mysterious Iden location. -- island location. It

:02:14.:02:22.

was a tropical island. Why? It was for ITV.

:02:22.:02:32.
:02:32.:02:45.

It was enormous fun. And you got a great tan. Yes, you see. It is only

:02:45.:02:50.

his hands. The rest of his body is alabaster white.

:02:50.:02:55.

More from Michael and Xander throughout the show. Let's continue

:02:55.:02:59.

with our next epic adventurer. Last night we saw the first part of Alex

:03:00.:03:03.

Flynn's journey to America. He suffers from Parkinson's and

:03:03.:03:07.

wanted to raise awareness by running, cycling and rowing across

:03:07.:03:17.
:03:17.:03:20.

the US. Eventually, it promised to This is it. I am in Santa Monica.

:03:20.:03:25.

This is the start of 3,500 miles to New York. Talk about biting off

:03:25.:03:29.

more than you can sue! His route takes in straight into

:03:29.:03:35.

the desert. As well as the heat, the roads are presenting some

:03:35.:03:42.

unexpected challenges already. It is quite scary. They come really

:03:42.:03:49.

close. The wind sucks you off the bike. I'm a bit scared at the

:03:49.:03:52.

moment. He needs to keep going to stay on

:03:52.:03:56.

schedule. He has given himself just two days to cover the 200 miles to

:03:56.:04:01.

Mount Whitney. The conditions are taking their toll.

:04:01.:04:10.

This is a lot to take on. The wind is against you. Every time I try to

:04:10.:04:20.

The next morning, Alex need something to pick up his spirits.

:04:20.:04:28.

He gets a call from his wife. How is the baby? He wants his

:04:28.:04:38.
:04:38.:04:41.

daddy? Give him a big kiss from me. Tell him his daddy loves him. I

:04:41.:04:47.

have been waiting for that all day. Since yesterday morning. I am a

:04:47.:04:52.

happy man. It is just what he needed. Over the

:04:52.:04:59.

next four hours, he manages 65 miles to the bottom of the mountain.

:04:59.:05:05.

I am exhausted. I have got off the bike and I am walking up. I have

:05:06.:05:15.
:05:16.:05:21.

got the mountain tomorrow. That is The time is for 50 5:00am. -- for

:05:21.:05:31.
:05:31.:05:33.

Half I'm feeling the altitude. My breeding is laboured. Walking along

:05:33.:05:40.

the ledges, with hundreds of feet below you, you are like taking a

:05:40.:05:46.

gamble on the stones below you not moving. I have never been so scared

:05:47.:05:55.

in my life. Exhausted. I have drunk all my water. We are on top of the

:05:55.:06:04.

mountain. Truly fantastic. I did things today

:06:04.:06:12.

that I never even thought I would be able to do.

:06:12.:06:17.

From there, he is running 130 miles through Death Valley. Three hours

:06:17.:06:24.

in, he has only covered 12. A part of me wants to go home. But

:06:24.:06:29.

part is not going to be listened to. This is one of the hottest places

:06:29.:06:33.

on earth. To make up for lost time, he has to walk through the night.

:06:33.:06:41.

But that has its own dangers. Behind me is a huge thunderstorm.

:06:42.:06:47.

Frankly, that scares the pants off of May. We are on flat plains, and

:06:47.:06:52.

we are the tallest things around. There's a long way to go before I

:06:52.:07:01.

get to bed. This is the worst part. My feet are knackered. The plan is,

:07:01.:07:04.

we will go until we can't go any further.

:07:04.:07:10.

Over the course of the night, he makes up an astonishing 31 miles,

:07:10.:07:20.
:07:20.:07:27.

I'm shaking. And stiff. I hate it. I wake up every day with that. I

:07:27.:07:34.

want it to go away. Last night, I ran for miles. I had pain going up

:07:35.:07:44.

there. I just seemed to switch off. I ran and I ran and I ran, and it

:07:44.:07:52.

was just so good. Incredibly happy. Alex pushes on to the end of Death

:07:52.:07:57.

Valley. The next 20 days will see him cycled more than 20,000 miles

:07:57.:08:07.
:08:07.:08:10.

to the shape -- shores of Lake Erie. And after 3,000 miles and 35 days

:08:10.:08:20.
:08:20.:08:27.

of incredible effort, Alex Flynn is Just phenomenal. Stewed

:08:27.:08:30.

congratulations for competing that mammoth challenge. You finally got

:08:30.:08:35.

to New York, where you were finishing. It did not quite go to

:08:35.:08:39.

plan because he wanted to finish at the Statue of Liberty.

:08:39.:08:43.

I wanted to finish at the Statue of Liberty. There were coastguards

:08:43.:08:49.

saying they would hold the shipping lane. The NYPD said it was fine to

:08:49.:08:54.

enter the water off Manhattan island. The US Parks Service said

:08:54.:09:01.

they needed six months' notice. You go onto the island and we will

:09:01.:09:11.
:09:11.:09:12.

arrested for being a terrorist. So you went for the George

:09:12.:09:16.

Washington Bridge. What a moment that must have been. How did you

:09:16.:09:22.

feel when your body knew that it was over?

:09:22.:09:28.

It was numb. I had no feelings of excitement. I had no emotion. It

:09:28.:09:33.

was very strange. I work up this morning and I thought, I actually

:09:33.:09:37.

think I am the only person who has done the traverse of America in

:09:38.:09:43.

four disciplines. How are you feeling, physically?

:09:43.:09:49.

Shattered. An absolutely exhausted. You will be. It is just starting to

:09:49.:09:55.

dawn on you now. What were the best highlights, for you?

:09:55.:10:00.

The Hoover Dam, crossing that. I could not see properly, but it was

:10:00.:10:10.
:10:10.:10:11.

amazing. It is smaller than you think. Las Vegas.

:10:11.:10:21.
:10:21.:10:22.

Did you stop them up before long? I could hear London Calling by the

:10:22.:10:32.
:10:32.:10:35.

clash very loudly. Running with my mate, Mark. That was fantastic.

:10:35.:10:39.

Just remind us why you did this challenge.

:10:39.:10:45.

There were three things. Raise awareness of Parkinson's. Raised �1

:10:45.:10:51.

million. And hopefully inspire others who have chronic

:10:51.:10:55.

neurological diseases or Parkinson's that it is not the end

:10:55.:10:58.

of the world. You can still challenge yourself and you can

:10:58.:11:02.

still push boundaries, no matter what.

:11:02.:11:07.

How are you feeling? How is your body? Your family are worried. But

:11:08.:11:12.

how are you feeling? I feel like going home, to be

:11:12.:11:16.

honest, and seeing my wife and spending some time with the family.

:11:16.:11:20.

Taking stock. Last night we saw your wife as you

:11:20.:11:24.

were preparing. She was incredibly worried. How did she cope when you

:11:24.:11:30.

were away? Brilliantly, I hope. You still

:11:30.:11:39.

haven't seen her? No! I'm seeing her tomorrow. That is the final

:11:39.:11:44.

homecoming? It is going to be fantastic. What I'm more concerned

:11:44.:11:52.

about is what other people do out there. Hopefully they will donate.

:11:52.:11:59.

My dad had Parkinson's. Any stories that show what people can do, it is

:11:59.:12:03.

just brilliant. Those are the kind of positive things that help people

:12:04.:12:08.

a lot. You have done a great job.

:12:08.:12:16.

You can find out more about Parkinson's through links on our

:12:16.:12:21.

website. Now, like many across the country,

:12:21.:12:26.

we were blown away by the volunteer spirit shown during London 2012.

:12:26.:12:30.

For this week's One Show To The Rescue, Lucy has gone to Birmingham

:12:30.:12:40.
:12:40.:12:49.

I am here at Walsall Manor Hospital to meet One Show that you're show

:12:49.:12:56.

off Fraser. She is doing fantastic work getting people in to entertain

:12:56.:12:59.

patience. We look at the most dynamic

:12:59.:13:07.

organisations and we engage with them. So, a student beauticians,

:13:07.:13:10.

people in further education. You may be well cared for here, but for

:13:10.:13:20.
:13:20.:13:28.

some people, the outside world I have to say, that did make me cry

:13:28.:13:33.

a little bit. What does it mean to have these guys come in and sing

:13:33.:13:40.

like that? It breaks the monotony. I'm going to go again. Thank you!

:13:40.:13:44.

Ex-nurse Jill has successfully brought this project to 14 British

:13:44.:13:50.

hospitals and is now hoping to expand into more. I would describe

:13:50.:13:56.

you as a human dynamo. How can I possibly help you? City Hospital in

:13:56.:14:01.

Birmingham have approached you and asked if you would like to work in

:14:01.:14:04.

our hospital. If you could bring all the dynamic organisations into

:14:04.:14:07.

the hospital, that would be fantastic. I have a list of

:14:08.:14:13.

impossible tasks and a big map. I feel like I'm in the Apprentice. I

:14:13.:14:19.

want to make a big splash for Jill and the patients of Birmingham City

:14:19.:14:24.

Hospital. Where better to start than at this prestigious school of

:14:24.:14:29.

dance? So, what will be the reaction to my

:14:29.:14:32.

plea to bring entertainment and companionship to the wards of

:14:32.:14:36.

Birmingham City Hospital? If you guys say yes, I know that everyone

:14:36.:14:44.

else will follow. Is it a yes or is it a no? Yes! Well, that's one off

:14:44.:14:48.

the wish list. Next cub scouts to sing campfire songs. What's the

:14:48.:14:56.

motto of the Cubs? Be prepared. Were you prepared for this? Um...

:14:56.:15:02.

And that's a yes. These are the people that I need. Students of

:15:02.:15:08.

beauty therapy to provide pampering. Yes? You can't make it. Yes, yes,

:15:08.:15:16.

yes. Come on! That's practically a full house!

:15:16.:15:22.

Am I going in here? Nope. That's not the right door. Here maybe. I

:15:23.:15:29.

need to get the right door first, obviously.

:15:29.:15:36.

# Oh happy day # Oh happy day #

:15:36.:15:41.

. CHEERING That was so good. Thank you. Thank you for letting me

:15:41.:15:48.

interrupt. Birmingham Community Gospel Choir, are you in? Yes or

:15:48.:15:54.

# Yes # . That's the most exciting response

:15:54.:16:01.

I have ever had to a question. And to truly bring the community

:16:02.:16:05.

into City Hospital, a Brummie Bhangra band.

:16:05.:16:15.
:16:15.:16:15.

I've got to make it go with a bang, with a Bhangra bang. Are you in?

:16:15.:16:25.
:16:25.:16:27.

Hoy, hoy, yes! That's an amazing reaction

:16:28.:16:31.

I think we can agree that the people of Birmingham have been

:16:31.:16:35.

outstanding. I have hardly had a no. It is just the start tomorrow night

:16:35.:16:40.

at Birmingham City Hospital, but if everybody turns up, it will be an

:16:40.:16:46.

outstanding start. I'm really excited.

:16:46.:16:51.

What a response from Birmingham. How good were the Bhangra dancers.

:16:51.:16:57.

You must have done a bit of Bhangra in your time Michael? Probably. I

:16:58.:17:02.

have danced in many places in the world. There is always a dance you

:17:02.:17:09.

have to do. I'm not a good dancer but the director always says, "Have

:17:09.:17:17.

a go." And you danced in Brazil. buses they dance. Let's see if

:17:17.:17:19.

Lucy's efforts have paid off. How many of these things have you

:17:19.:17:24.

managed to tick off the list? will see how many people I can tick

:17:24.:17:28.

off the list. It's a chilly night here in Birmingham but it is very

:17:28.:17:33.

exciting. Before I see if I have succeeded in the challenge, let's

:17:33.:17:38.

have a quick word with Jill from Kissing it Better. How are you?

:17:38.:17:44.

very excited thank you. Good. This is not a question of people bowling

:17:44.:17:50.

up to their local hospital and saying, "I want to volunteer" is

:17:50.:17:55.

it? No, we provide the infrastructure to make it totally

:17:55.:18:00.

safe. And we do it quickly too. I've seen this woman in action, she

:18:00.:18:05.

is a human dynamo. It is also not just a question of being a show-off

:18:05.:18:09.

and wanting to perform is it? Absolutely not. We want people to

:18:09.:18:13.

give their time to people who are disadvantaged because they are in

:18:13.:18:18.

hospital. We want them to have that how much touch. When you are

:18:18.:18:21.

hospital you feel that the community have forgotten awe bit.

:18:21.:18:25.

By bringing them in, it makes a huge difference. Shall we see how

:18:25.:18:35.

many people have turned up tonight? First of all, a magician. Chris.

:18:35.:18:43.

# I'm gonna let it shine... # That's magic. Off you go.

:18:43.:18:49.

Birmingham Community Gospel Choir Spectacular voice as always. In you

:18:49.:18:56.

go into the hospital. And the 206 cub pack. They are going to sing

:18:56.:19:06.
:19:06.:19:08.

campfire songs. My beautiful beauty therapists. Highly skilled. And the

:19:08.:19:13.

Brummie Bhangra Band! Slightly overwhelmed by the noise

:19:13.:19:18.

and the amount of people. The whole thing. Absolutely amazing. Jill,

:19:18.:19:23.

have I succeeded in your challenge? More than 100%. Thank you very much.

:19:23.:19:28.

We are going to set our volunteers to work straight away in Birmingham

:19:28.:19:32.

City Hospital. We shall see you later. That is a great sight seeing

:19:32.:19:37.

a Bhangra band and ballet people. Who was the man with the pink

:19:37.:19:43.

turban. Bhangra security. LAUGHTER No question. Xander, you've been

:19:43.:19:50.

hosting Pointless for four series. Brilliant. I think it is more. They

:19:50.:19:57.

now morph. When we first started off we had to finish saying maybe

:19:57.:20:02.

two versions, "See you next series" and the other, "It's been great

:20:02.:20:07.

fun." We were on it. We thought we would do a One Show version of

:20:07.:20:11.

Pointless and you and Michael can play along. It is quite complicated.

:20:11.:20:15.

If you would like to explain the rules, it will be lovely. Every

:20:15.:20:20.

question has been asked to 100 people. They've been given 100

:20:20.:20:28.

seconds to name as many for example James Bond films. If you pick Dr No,

:20:28.:20:33.

it is going to be high scoring. Never Say Never Again I imagine

:20:34.:20:39.

would be low scoring. You have to think of the most obscure answer in

:20:39.:20:45.

that category but which is still correct. On that note... We asked

:20:45.:20:51.

100 people to name the members of Monty Python.

:20:51.:20:57.

Xander, you can start. Which correct answer did the least amount

:20:57.:21:02.

of people say? This is controversial. This is going to be

:21:02.:21:07.

difficult. If it is me I'm going to suffer terrible depression. Because

:21:07.:21:12.

he's gone on into academia, I'm going to say Terry Jones. You say

:21:12.:21:22.

going to say Terry Jones. You say Terry Jones. Have a look.

:21:22.:21:30.

Ten! Very good. That means? Only ten people knew that. Michael, we

:21:30.:21:35.

need you now to give us one correct answer now. Hopefully less people

:21:35.:21:45.
:21:45.:21:50.

will have said that answer. Oh, sorry. That was proper...

:21:50.:21:53.

Xander said Terry Jones. Now you have to come up with a member. Who

:21:53.:22:00.

do you think the least amount of people mentioned? Carol Cleveland?

:22:00.:22:10.
:22:10.:22:20.

She's not on the list. There's six of you. Graham Chapman.

:22:20.:22:30.
:22:30.:22:30.

APPLAUSE John cheese was number one and you were number two. He's dead

:22:30.:22:36.

unfortunately. Now you've got the hang of it, would you like to do

:22:36.:22:46.
:22:46.:22:46.

another one? Don't patronise ME! asked 100 people to name as many of

:22:46.:22:50.

Michael Palin's travel series. you say you've done seven no-one

:22:50.:22:55.

Eight including Brazil. I'm going to go with the Himalayas.

:22:55.:23:05.
:23:05.:23:13.

Seven. Really? Yes. I worked hard on that. You have to find lower

:23:13.:23:23.
:23:23.:23:30.

CHEERING There you go! OK. Nobody mentioned that. 73 people said

:23:30.:23:38.

Michael Palin Around the World, pole pole, Sahara, Himalaya, Full

:23:38.:23:45.

Circle, and Hemingway Adventure, and they were Pointless. Not

:23:45.:23:51.

literally pointless. Are you surprised by that? The first one is

:23:51.:23:54.

the one everybody knows. Most of the people haven't been born by the

:23:54.:24:00.

time we made that, so I'm quite surprised. Speaking of Pointless,

:24:01.:24:06.

you've written a book that's completely pointless. I have.

:24:06.:24:13.

Richard Osman and I have penned a book called did 100 Most Pointless

:24:13.:24:20.

Things in the World. It has lots of quizzes and fun things. Very

:24:20.:24:23.

interactive. Thank you Michael. That's exactly what it is. It is

:24:23.:24:28.

also full of nonsense. Lots of banter stuff that we find pointless.

:24:28.:24:33.

Can you give us some example? great many examples. You mentioned

:24:33.:24:41.

a panda as well at one stage. Richard thinks pandas are pointless.

:24:41.:24:44.

Richard thinks pandas are pointless. I don't. Their digestive system is

:24:44.:24:48.

good to be able to eat meat and yet they just eat wood. It is

:24:48.:24:53.

essentially a construction material. We could talk about this

:24:53.:24:58.

photographer. Novelty songs. number 77 we hear. Exactly. We have

:24:58.:25:04.

a quiz of novelty songs. My favourite, inappropriate caravan

:25:04.:25:12.

names. Marauder? LAUGHTER Fire Storm? This is a wet fortnight in

:25:12.:25:19.

Dungeness we are talking about. That leads us to our next... Feel

:25:19.:25:25.

free to have a chat. We will moven to another epic journey, to

:25:25.:25:29.

Antarctica. 1,900 years since Captain Scott's famous attempt to

:25:29.:25:33.

reach the South Pole. Less well known is the letter he wrote in his

:25:33.:25:40.

final days. It has created a legacy which the current generation of

:25:40.:25:46.

Scott s continue to talk about. Antarctica is one of the most

:25:46.:25:51.

hostile place on earth, where temperatures can drop to 70 degrees

:25:51.:25:55.

below freezing. British hero Captain Scott met his match here in

:25:55.:26:00.

1912 when he made his fateful journey to the South Pole. Hit by

:26:00.:26:02.

some the worst weather ever recorded on the Continent and

:26:02.:26:07.

running out of supplies, he knew he wouldn't make it home. He wrote a

:26:07.:26:12.

poignant letter, a letter that had some extraordinary consequences.

:26:12.:26:18.

It has clearly been written over several days and it starts off, "To

:26:18.:26:24.

my widow." It says that he hasn't suffered any pain and that he's

:26:24.:26:30.

loved her. Here it refers to their son, who was almost three. It says,

:26:30.:26:34.

"Make the boy interested this natural history if you can. It is

:26:34.:26:40.

better than games." That boy was Peter Scott, and interested in

:26:40.:26:45.

natural history turned out to be a bit of an understatement. The late

:26:45.:26:50.

Sir Peter Scott went on to be one of the giants of conservation and

:26:50.:26:56.

the first to be knighted for it. He founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands

:26:56.:27:00.

Trust here in the Slimbridge ins Gloucestershire. He came one the

:27:00.:27:03.

Red List, which keeps track of endangered wildlife around the

:27:03.:27:07.

world. And he started the World Wide Fund for Nature, which

:27:07.:27:12.

protects those threatened species and habitats. He even designed its

:27:12.:27:16.

famous panda logo. Peter was just a toddler when the letter was written,

:27:16.:27:22.

so it was mother, Kathleen, who sparked his passion for wildlife,

:27:22.:27:26.

as his daughter knows. certainly took the introduction in

:27:26.:27:30.

the letter to make the boy interested in natural history

:27:30.:27:33.

seriously. She of thought her husband was amazing and what he had

:27:33.:27:37.

done was amazing. I think she felt this was a good way to honour him,

:27:37.:27:43.

so she introduced my father to all sorts of people who would show him

:27:43.:27:49.

animals. She would have introduced him to nature in a big way. Wild

:27:49.:27:54.

geese and swans we are his first love. He described himself as being

:27:54.:28:00.

totally adigited to their magic. In his mid 30s he founded the site to

:28:00.:28:07.

enabling his first ground-breaking conservation project. He saw

:28:07.:28:14.

Slimbridge as a place to bring threatened species back into the

:28:14.:28:19.

wild. These Hawaiian geese were on the brink of extinction in 1952,

:28:19.:28:25.

with just 30 left. But Peter Scott managed to get them to breed.

:28:25.:28:30.

Thanks to his work there's now over 800 in the world in Hawaii and

:28:30.:28:34.

thousands in breeding programmes around the world. Thousands of

:28:34.:28:38.

birds naturally overwintering at Slimbridge he was also able to

:28:38.:28:44.

pioneer new research techniques. In the 1960s, Bewick San swans started

:28:44.:28:47.

arriving and Peter noticed that each one had a unique pattern on

:28:47.:28:57.
:28:57.:29:09.

De to have favourites that to look out for? -- de due. My best time

:29:09.:29:18.

Louise and Stella had not come. I went out in the morning. When I

:29:18.:29:28.

came back, there worthies swans circling around. The Peter Scott's

:29:28.:29:33.

vision was not only to preserve wildlife, but to promote other

:29:33.:29:38.

people doing it, too. Today, over a million people visit

:29:38.:29:46.

his nine wet land centres every year. It can all be traced back to

:29:46.:29:49.

one inspirational letter. At the end of it, Captain Scott refers

:29:49.:29:54.

again to the young son he will never see grow up. He ought to have

:29:54.:29:59.

a fine career, he writes, and do something in the world. Sir Peter

:29:59.:30:05.

Scott certainly did. I think it is amazing. What a

:30:05.:30:15.
:30:15.:30:16.

legacy, finding these organisations. His message is amazing. Wonderful.

:30:16.:30:22.

What a story. And it is so important that his

:30:22.:30:25.

story is told. But we think we have found the most inaccurate telling

:30:25.:30:35.
:30:35.:31:01.

That was a classic. I had to wrestle with this lion. It was just

:31:01.:31:05.

a dummy. He must have been boiling in that

:31:05.:31:11.

big jacket. -- you must. I had to smoke a cigar at the same time.

:31:11.:31:21.
:31:21.:31:22.

Thank you for showing that. Miranda is here as well. Scott's

:31:22.:31:26.

letters are about to inspire a whole new generation.

:31:26.:31:31.

You can imagine how his words have run in Peter Scott's hears how he

:31:31.:31:41.
:31:41.:31:44.

was doing -- Rana in Peter Scott's The Wildlife and wetlands Trust

:31:44.:31:48.

asking the public to write similarly inspirational letters.

:31:48.:31:54.

They can be written to a politician, a celebrity, to a teacher, to your

:31:54.:31:58.

granny, to inspire people to go out and enjoy the natural world. But

:31:58.:32:03.

also to do something to help it. Who knows, Peter Scott changed

:32:03.:32:13.
:32:13.:32:14.

history. There's a link on the One Show website. There's a lovely one

:32:14.:32:22.

to a celebrity, Seine, give up your worldly items and go and live on an

:32:22.:32:28.

island. There's a few weeks left of the competition. After that, all

:32:28.:32:32.

the letters are going to be read and judged. I am lucky to be one of

:32:32.:32:39.

the judges. In the top 100 letters, they are going to be taken to the

:32:39.:32:44.

most southerly postbox in the world. They will be sent there with

:32:44.:32:50.

special stamps. I have a special Antarctic postmark on them. They

:32:50.:32:54.

will be sent to their recipients. They will follow the route that

:32:54.:32:59.

Scott's letter to all those years ago. Basically, this is going to be

:32:59.:33:06.

part of an inspirational campaign. We are asking people to send in

:33:06.:33:13.

their letters. This year's four volunteers it had

:33:13.:33:19.

just heard they are going to be out there Manning the Post Office. They

:33:19.:33:26.

include Flo Barrow. Come and see us! Good to see you.

:33:26.:33:32.

Congratulations on being chosen. What inspired you to get involved?

:33:32.:33:40.

I went to visit a centre in Dundee. I saw the cabin of my great, great

:33:40.:33:47.

uncle. He was a geologist. I was inspired by the work of the

:33:47.:33:51.

Antarctic Heritage Trust. I went on their website and found a job that

:33:51.:33:56.

would take me there. At this is a first job after

:33:56.:34:02.

graduating? Yes. The exams did not matter.

:34:02.:34:09.

What are you going to do there? there's a huge variety. There's a

:34:10.:34:14.

museum, Post Office, gift shop. Also, a study to monitor the

:34:14.:34:18.

penguins. You will need to keep warm, so we

:34:18.:34:24.

have got to a One Show hat. Have fun. Send us a postcard!

:34:24.:34:27.

For years, green campaigners have been persuading us to use fewer

:34:27.:34:31.

plastic bags. In the past year, nobody has been more successful

:34:32.:34:38.

than the Welsh. What is that down to, Alex? We are environmentally

:34:38.:34:45.

aware, Matthew. Anita Rani has her own ideas.

:34:45.:34:49.

Back in the 1970s, there was a revolution in supermarket shopping.

:34:49.:34:54.

Out went the cardboard boxes left by the checkouts, and in came a new

:34:54.:35:02.

era of free plastic bags. We have been using them ever since.

:35:02.:35:09.

But here in Wales, things are a bit different. Would you like a carrier

:35:09.:35:12.

bag? I would. If you want one of these,

:35:12.:35:18.

you have got to cough up and pay for it. A year ago, the Welsh

:35:18.:35:22.

government introduced a 5p charge on most carrier bags. The policy

:35:22.:35:27.

was designed to cut use of plastic bags. And it worked.

:35:27.:35:32.

In the first six months of the ban, food shops saw a 96% drop in the

:35:32.:35:36.

number of bags being given out to customers.

:35:36.:35:40.

What do you think of having to pay for the bags in Wales?

:35:40.:35:47.

We do in South Africa, so it is not a barber for me. It has certainly

:35:47.:35:53.

clear up our country. I resent paying 5p for bags. It is

:35:53.:35:57.

good for the environment but it is ridiculous when you can go a couple

:35:57.:36:01.

of miles down the road and get as many as you want.

:36:01.:36:05.

I don't see why the rest of the country doesn't follow.

:36:05.:36:08.

The carrier bag charge has been good news for charities in Wales.

:36:08.:36:12.

The profits from the sale has all gone to good causes. It is a

:36:12.:36:18.

windfall of more than �1 million in the first year.

:36:18.:36:23.

It has also meant fewer plastic bags ending up in places like this.

:36:23.:36:27.

Organisations, including Keep Britain tidy, now want to see the

:36:27.:36:31.

rest of the UK follow suit. What is the problem with carrier

:36:31.:36:36.

bags? Why shouldn't we cut done -- down?

:36:36.:36:45.

At the moment, we take 250 more carrier bags per-second from shops.

:36:45.:36:49.

They end up in landfill or blowing down the streets as litter.

:36:49.:36:57.

Ultimately, they are not good. There's and environmental cost.

:36:57.:37:03.

This is one small step towards changing people's behaviour.

:37:03.:37:08.

In England, some shops do already charge customers for carrier bags.

:37:08.:37:12.

But the government has no plans to make it compulsory at the moment.

:37:12.:37:16.

In Northern Ireland, shoppers will be charged or carrier bags from

:37:16.:37:21.

April next year. In Scotland, the government has just completed a

:37:21.:37:24.

consultation to see it charges should be introduced there.

:37:24.:37:29.

Plastic bags have gained a reputation as the bad boys of

:37:29.:37:32.

packaging. They have come to represent everything that is wrong

:37:32.:37:39.

about our throwaway lifestyle. But not everybody shares that opinion.

:37:39.:37:44.

Here, they make bags for everybody. If you are a shopping in Wales, you

:37:44.:37:48.

have to pay for them. Paul is the chairman of the carrier

:37:48.:37:52.

bag consortium. He says if shoppers are pushed into using hessian or

:37:52.:37:57.

cotton bags, it will not help the environment.

:37:57.:38:02.

You would have to use a cotton bag 173 times to equal the carbon-

:38:02.:38:09.

dioxide use of a supermarket carrier. You would have to use it

:38:09.:38:13.

every week for three years. What is not in dispute is that a

:38:13.:38:19.

year on, the behaviour of shoppers in Wales has changed dramatically.

:38:19.:38:25.

It is a really good idea. It would save so many plastic bags. People

:38:25.:38:29.

would really think about whether they wanted one.

:38:29.:38:35.

I feel better with a cotton bag, don't you? Yeah. I bet you have got

:38:35.:38:41.

loads of those in your car. yeah.

:38:41.:38:46.

I just collects cotton bags! Is that what you are saying?

:38:46.:38:50.

At the beginning of the show, we spoke about your new series and

:38:50.:38:57.

book based in Brazil. Here is a clip of you meeting the Yanomami

:38:57.:39:07.
:39:07.:39:10.

Unlike us, the Yanomami live community. This House must be at

:39:10.:39:16.

least 400 metres in circumference. There's no privacy whatsoever. They

:39:16.:39:21.

are less fierce than I expected. They regard me as a source of

:39:21.:39:28.

entertainment. Good to be here. I have never been

:39:28.:39:33.

in this part of the world before. I did not expect to be doing comedy

:39:33.:39:39.

on my first day in the Amazon. Was it the grey hair he was looking

:39:39.:39:46.

at? What was he saying? I don't know. He was just

:39:46.:39:52.

interested. They touch you in that rather unselfconscious way, which

:39:52.:39:56.

is fun. As fascinated with your hair as the

:39:56.:40:01.

technology. I take a little notebook and I

:40:01.:40:07.

scribble things down when I'm not on camera. They were fascinated by

:40:07.:40:12.

that, and my tape-recorder. The children love to hear their voices.

:40:12.:40:16.

You can play it back to them, and it is a great way of getting into

:40:16.:40:20.

contact with them. That is important. You have got a short

:40:20.:40:24.

amount of time to bridge that gap between your world and their world.

:40:24.:40:30.

The book is in the form of a diary. We found some amazing pictures.

:40:30.:40:35.

This is a tribesman operating a camera. That is actually their own

:40:35.:40:41.

equipment. This was a tried further south.

:40:41.:40:44.

They were in the middle of the rainforest. They had a number of

:40:45.:40:49.

people visiting them with cameras. What they want now is to learn to

:40:49.:40:52.

use cameras themselves. They are extremely good at it. In the old

:40:52.:40:56.

days, when people bought them a gift of guns or clothes, now you

:40:56.:41:04.

have got to bring them an editing kit. They are really clued up. They

:41:04.:41:10.

are interested in recording their own tribe. This is the thing that

:41:10.:41:16.

will help them to survive. They are threatened by all sorts of things,

:41:16.:41:19.

industry, reservoirs and all that. But they just want to make sure

:41:19.:41:23.

that they keep their culture. They are doing it themselves, which is

:41:23.:41:30.

fantastic. You did it so many places, -- you

:41:30.:41:36.

visit so many places, but you saw one that was made by Henry Ford.

:41:36.:41:40.

He decided to grow rubber for his cars in the middle of Brazil. He

:41:40.:41:50.

chose this place, and it did not work. There was leaf blight. It is

:41:50.:41:59.

a ghost town and the bill of the jungle. -- the middle. It looks

:41:59.:42:06.

like Midwestern America. It was built in the 1920s and 1930s for

:42:06.:42:11.

what he thought would be a revolution in the Amazon. Now it is

:42:11.:42:15.

just a wonderfully atmospheric ghost town. A fascinating series

:42:15.:42:18.

and book. You have done eight series

:42:18.:42:23.

altogether. We are going to hand you a globe. Where is it?

:42:23.:42:33.

It Bobby easier to point out where you have not been. -- it is

:42:33.:42:37.

probably easier. I have been to Lincolnshire. I have not been to

:42:37.:42:43.

Argentina. I have not been too much of the Middle East. All of this

:42:43.:42:47.

area, southern Russia, Mongolia. Would you like to go to the Middle

:42:47.:42:55.

East? I would love to. All those countries that have conflict have

:42:55.:42:59.

the oldest civilisations in the world. Syria, Iran, Iraq, I would

:42:59.:43:05.

love to go there. The book about his letter adventure

:43:05.:43:08.

in Brazil is out now. The television series starts next

:43:08.:43:12.

Wednesday. Moving on to a Jenny closer to home,

:43:12.:43:18.

it is time for the return of the One Show's Rickshaw Challenge.

:43:18.:43:26.

Last year, you raised �1.9 million supporting the journey, which

:43:26.:43:32.

finished on Children in Need night. That was emotional. I can't

:43:32.:43:38.

remember that happening. This year, the challenge is not mine. But I am

:43:38.:43:42.

going to be mentoring a team from the UK who have to overcome more

:43:42.:43:52.
:43:52.:44:10.

It is a bit weird me doing a bike challenge on a rickshaw, but I've

:44:11.:44:17.

got the best sight in my family. My mum, my dad, my brother and my

:44:17.:44:26.

sister are all registered blind. have cerebral palsy and that

:44:26.:44:34.

affects my walking, my balance and my speech mainly. I'm really

:44:34.:44:39.

looking forward to doing the challenge with other young people.

:44:39.:44:44.

I come from an area where young people turn towards gang crime and

:44:44.:44:48.

stuff like that. I didn't want that for myself. I've been given a lot

:44:48.:44:54.

by Children In Need, so I want to be able to give back. I look after

:44:54.:45:00.

my brother and my sister and my mum. I want to be involve in the

:45:00.:45:04.

Rickshaw Challenge to promote young carers, as they are not looked upon

:45:04.:45:12.

very much and they are ignored quite a lot. I had a kidney

:45:13.:45:18.

(Inaudible) and in 2006 I competed in the British Transplant Games. It

:45:18.:45:21.

is funded by Children In Need. The Rickshaw Challenge is important

:45:21.:45:25.

because people can support it and make other people's lives different

:45:25.:45:35.
:45:35.:45:36.

and for the better. When I was 11 I was knocked down by a car and

:45:36.:45:43.

suffered from a brain injury. The doctors said I should be grateful

:45:43.:45:51.

for anything above breathing, but now I'm cycling a rickshaw from

:45:51.:45:58.

Wales to London! I think this is going to be quite a challenge, 500

:45:58.:46:04.

miles on a rickshaw, a challenge for most people I think. I'm so

:46:04.:46:09.

excited. Obviously it is like a big '. If we can raise the money and

:46:09.:46:12.

the awareness as well, that will be really good. I'm looking forward to

:46:12.:46:22.
:46:22.:46:28.

Kieran, Jamila, Darren, James, Jack... Bye! APPLAUSE

:46:28.:46:32.

They are an inspirational bunch. Apologies for the bad sound in that.

:46:32.:46:38.

The route. That's what we need to know. Day one they go from

:46:38.:46:48.
:46:48.:46:49.

Llandudno to Dollgellau and then: They come back to Television Centre

:46:49.:46:55.

on the Friday. That's the plan. Last year the amount of money One

:46:55.:47:00.

Show viewers donated was incredible, but this year we are hoping for

:47:00.:47:05.

even more. All we can ask is you get behind us. It was brilliant for

:47:05.:47:09.

your support. Thanks to them and fingers crossed for this year.

:47:09.:47:15.

Michael and zapdzer, read out how people can support this.

full terms and conditions visit bbc.co.uk/theoneshow. Have you ever

:47:35.:47:40.

travelled in a rickshaw Michael? Through Soho mainly. I thought it

:47:40.:47:48.

would be a lot hor exotic than that. I've been in a few rickshaws. I'm

:47:48.:47:55.

incredibly impressed how people, in India, they take you uphill and

:47:55.:48:04.

walk. But they are very tough guys. And we've got something for you now.

:48:04.:48:14.

These are for you. I'm going to examine you. At the Leeds

:48:14.:48:17.

Championship dog show no expense is spared by the owners to get their

:48:17.:48:22.

dog looking its best. But when Michael Douglas went the visit, he

:48:22.:48:29.

found that the humans could do with some grooming themselves. Man's

:48:29.:48:36.

best friend. Our loyal canine companionens, Lassie. Scooby Doo.

:48:36.:48:42.

What could be better by your side than a dog? Me, I'm not dead sure

:48:42.:48:47.

about this whole dog thing. My wife and kids would love a dog, but my

:48:47.:48:52.

dad had one once and it ate a hammer! But I'm prepared to give

:48:52.:48:57.

them the benefit of the doubt, so I have brought my box of finest

:48:57.:49:02.

treats to the Leeds Championship dog show. Treats for the owners.

:49:02.:49:07.

There are 2,000 dog clubs in the UK and they host a staggering 5 ,000

:49:07.:49:12.

dog-related events every year. That looks like the fluffiest little

:49:12.:49:17.

Munchkin I've seen. What's he called? This is iceman. This is

:49:17.:49:21.

Michael and he's a professional dog hander, is that correct? That's

:49:21.:49:26.

correct. People send their dogs to us and we groom and train them.

:49:26.:49:30.

What's the most successful dog you had? Probably the Kerry Blue. He

:49:30.:49:33.

went to America and became the number one dog in America. A top

:49:33.:49:38.

dog. Is there any type of dog you don't

:49:38.:49:43.

like? I don't dislike any dogs. A couple of people. You look almost

:49:43.:49:51.

the same, but a bit better. Take a look. That's good. Is that alright?

:49:51.:49:58.

Perfect. Look at the size of them as well!

:49:58.:50:04.

Brilliant. They put a whole fringe in one snip. What dogs are you

:50:04.:50:13.

showing today. Big ones? Chihuahuas. So this is the lovely Karen. She is

:50:13.:50:16.

a canine beautician. What's the biggest challenge of your job, is

:50:16.:50:21.

it getting them to stand still? especially puppies. It is probably

:50:21.:50:28.

a bit like doing a child's haircut. What do you use to distract them?

:50:28.:50:36.

Noises.Er a licking noise. Take a look. Wow! That's lovely. Thank you.

:50:36.:50:43.

Fantastic. You had nothing to worry about. There's a theme going on

:50:43.:50:49.

with your clothes, was that planned? No, it is a psychic link.

:50:49.:50:55.

Look at that. Maybe I do want a dog after all. So well behaved aren't

:50:55.:51:03.

they? And to teach me some dog control tips I have an experts Mick

:51:03.:51:09.

challenge today with the help of Heidi from Absolutely Animals, tell

:54:32.:54:39.

us what you have been doing? This is Mary, a lovely little rescue dog

:54:39.:54:43.

from Battersea Dogs' Home. We tried to find her a new owner. It is

:54:43.:54:49.

pretty much like cutting people's hair. You use clippers, scissors

:54:49.:54:54.

and comb. Heidi brought me a picture of a dog and said, as long

:54:54.:54:59.

as you cut it in the shape of a dog it will look like a dog. How was

:54:59.:55:05.

he? A natural. Did a really good job. It is really important that

:55:06.:55:09.

people take their dogs to their local grouping salon and find out

:55:09.:55:14.

how to groom their own dog and what tools they need and what techniques

:55:14.:55:20.

to keep their dog clean. Shall we see Mary post make-over?

:55:20.:55:29.

see Mary post make-over? Bring her in. She's gorgeous.

:55:29.:55:35.

She has got a little bit of a wedge on the side Michael. I couldn't not

:55:35.:55:42.

do it. Delightful. I don't think I can go home without it now. My wife

:55:42.:55:46.

is texting me saying, you've got to bring that dog home. If you would

:55:46.:55:52.

like to give Mary a home, you can find details on Battersea's website.

:55:52.:55:59.

We are hoping she would be The One Show dog. She is delightful.
