The One Show. Tom is now on page three of the next. Wendy Robbins | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
has the story of five girls who became close childhood friends when | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
they were separated from their families. They're looking forward | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
to a special family reunion. These five young girls were best friends | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
in a Barnardo's care home in Woking in the 1950s. They parted in their | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
early teens and have not seen each other since. They are about to be | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
reunited from a cross the world at the very house they grew up in 50 | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
years ago. -- across. Some of the girls were as young as four when | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
they went into care. Sam and Patsy were living with their mothers. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
Eileen was with her father and grandmother. For all sorts of | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
reasons, poverty, ill-health, the families were and able to cope and | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
put them into the care of Barnardo's, where they formed their | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
friendship. When you are a kid in those environments, you rely on | :03:50. | :03:57. | |
everyone around you. As children came and went, we were always left | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
behind. We were still there. four other girls really were my | :04:05. | :04:11. | |
family. I would just like to think they are my sisters because I have | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
never had any. This was the Barnardo's children's home where | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
the five goals created their own little family. They even called | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
themselves the famous five. In her early teens they had two separate | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
and they have not seen each other since the day they left this has 50 | :04:29. | :04:34. | |
years ago. Thomas Barnardo established his charity to help | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
children living rough on the streets. Barnardo's became home to | :04:38. | :04:43. | |
thousands of children. By the time of our famous five arrived at her | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
home in 1958, they had already been in care for some years. I remember | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
getting on a big bus, sitting at the window with my little teddy | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
bear, watching everything go by, wondering where we were going to go. | :04:59. | :05:04. | |
Do you remember what it felt like being a Barnardo's girl? We just | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
accepted it. We did not really understand much about what was | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
going on. I do not think it even dawned on us that we work in a | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
special place for children. I can remember going to school and I | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
think we were like outcasts. I did not have any close friends at | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
school, only the Barnardo's goals. I do not think we were accepted | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
really well at will. The 5live Together for five years. The strong | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
bond they forged together made up for the last of being apart from | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
their families. You never thought about not having a mother or father. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
Mothers and fathers are part of the life as a child. Do remember when | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
you work in the home of ever having any hugs and kisses from the stuff? | :05:56. | :06:05. | |
I do not recall hugs and kisses. They were strict in their ways. | :06:05. | :06:13. | |
I do not remember hugs. I do not hug now. I do not hug match. I | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
tried to put it is not my thing. their early teens, it is time for | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
them to leave their home in go their separate ways. -- but it is | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
not. We were shown a film about Australia and were asked, who would | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
like to go to Australia? My hand went up. I wrote a letter to my | :06:36. | :06:41. | |
mother asking if I could go to Australia and it came back, mayor. | :06:41. | :06:50. | |
We were devastated but I still went. -- no. I just belt if I made a | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
friend with someone, they are going to be taken away from me. -- that | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
if I made. Sam never came back from Australia. Eileen went to live with | :07:02. | :07:08. | |
her father. Patsy remained under the care of Barnardo's. Pat and Pam | :07:08. | :07:15. | |
of return to their father in America. I can remember standing up | :07:15. | :07:21. | |
on deck, slowly watching the English countryside goodbye. | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
Leading one life and going to another. They have not seen each | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
other since. They have been spread across the globe for 50 years, | :07:31. | :07:39. | |
leading separate lives - until now. I cannot wait to see everyone. It | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
is the only family I have really know. An incredible story. You will | :07:44. | :07:51. | |
have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens. They kite -- Bay | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
finally get to see each other again. You must have loads of people | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
buying for your best friend at the moment. You had two tickets per | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
competition. I have my mother and two brothers as well. It will be | :08:08. | :08:14. | |
hard to choose. I think we have enough tickets now to sort out my | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
family - most of them. You are hoping you will get to the final | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
but you need to go through the preliminaries. The Synchro is a | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
straight final. We did the qualifications at an Olympic test | :08:28. | :08:36. | |
event earlier this year. We hope you get all the way to the end. We | :08:36. | :08:41. | |
want your family and friends to see you doing it. You're new book is | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
out next Thursday. It is brilliant. The idea was that it was going to | :08:47. | :08:53. | |
be a picture book, wasn't it? love photography. I thought it | :08:53. | :08:58. | |
would be a good idea to do that. The more we thought about it and | :08:58. | :09:05. | |
looked into it, the more I realised what a story I had to tell. My | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
social life and what I have had to go through in the last year. Things | :09:09. | :09:15. | |
like that. It is incredibly gripping. You pick it up, you read | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
it and go from tattered to chapter. Let's remind ourselves of some of | :09:21. | :09:29. | |
the extraordinary dies you have done. This is from Beijing. -- | :09:29. | :09:39. | |
:09:39. | :09:42. | ||
dives. The World Championships a year later. You look so young! | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
remarkable. The incredible thing about the book is how you are able | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
to write. How nervous you are when you take every single dive. I was | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
shocked to hear you are nervous every single time. You have a | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
special way of dealing with the nerves. The height of 10 metres is | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
the height of two double-decker buses and half a car. You have to | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
not think about the height. You have to think about the process of | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
the dive. It distracts you. document a lot of your life and the | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
difficulties you have been through in the last year - using your dad. | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Was it quite cathartic for you? Definitely. I felt strongly about | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
including it in the Berg. It has been really tough in the last year, | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
losing my dad. Seeing the ball a memories we had together. You look | :10:42. | :10:49. | |
back on it and laugh. -- all the memories. It helped me get over it. | :10:49. | :10:56. | |
Already you have done your A-levels, which is massive. How do you fit it | :10:56. | :11:05. | |
all in? It is tough. From a young age I am quite a perfectionist. I | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
want to do everything to the best of my ability. With school and | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
stuff, I set myself timetables for when I need to do schoolwork and | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
when I need to do training. At school, I had to my training in the | :11:20. | :11:27. | |
morning, go to school, back to training, back to school work. I | :11:28. | :11:37. | |
had to be dedicated to it. How did you Spanish oral go? It was the | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
Tuesday I left for the Europeans. I get the results three days after my | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
competition at the Olympics are. is all go! A busy boy. To find out | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
how different Olympic diving is to date the last time it was in London, | :11:56. | :12:05. | |
Ade Adepitan has made -- matter with a team-mate of Tom -- met up | :12:05. | :12:12. | |
with a team-mate of Tom. Pete Waterfield is a -- and experienced | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Olympic diver. He has a great chance of winning a medal in London | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
2012. His partner in Athens was Leon Taylor. Eight years on, Tom | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
Daley will be his diving partner and his family will not have to | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
catch a plane - they will need to hop onto a bus to get to the | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
aquatics centre in East London. dad will get on the 158 bus from | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:52. | ||
outside my house, which I was born in. Aetna is 89. The One Show has | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
brought two Olympians together at the training centre in Southampton. | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
She is just as delighted as Pete that the games is being held in | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
East London. I hope everyone gets as much out of it as they can. Most | :13:07. | :13:13. | |
of it is within walking distance. Otherwise, the bus pass will help | :13:13. | :13:22. | |
us? Almost everything else is different. Aetna trained and the | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
conditions that modern athletes would find it extraordinary. You | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
mainly used to drive out doors. What was that like? Awkward, | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
especially if it was bad weather. Most of the time I was training was | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
in public time, which was awkward. You have a beautiful facility, just | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
to yourself. Can you imagine it? public time, you would get people | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
running of the boards and doing bombs and stuff. Trying to train | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
for a competition must be really tough. The training is intense and | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
the statistics are remarkable. trained up to six days a week, six | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
hours a day. We hit the water nearly 40 miles an hour of the ten- | :14:15. | :14:20. | |
metre. For the modern Olympian, the rich rewards of professionalism | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
make hours in the gym worthwhile. When Ed now was preparing to train | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
for the Games, she was rewarded for hitting certain targets in her | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
training Schedule. In keeping with the austere times. When you went, | :14:37. | :14:46. | |
you got two clean towels. She has kept some mementoes from the 1948 | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
games and the training she did to compete. The only footage that | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
remains is of medal winners, so she has never seen herself on film in | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
her sporting prime. We managed to find a rare piece of archive films | :15:01. | :15:08. | |
after the Games. Where did you get that? I cannot tell you. Are you | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
ready to look at this? Are you sure that is me? Glamorous, look at | :15:17. | :15:27. | |
:15:27. | :15:32. | ||
that! A bit over. Even now you are I would love a copy of that one. | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
I think we can arrange it! But the divers at 2012 don't have to wait | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
60 years to see them on film. Pete uses a state-of-the-art system to | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
give him instant feedback. I can literally do the dive off the | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
board and come and watch me and what I have just done. | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
But it is not just the use of video that means that the divers can be | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
more ambitious, it is also improved safety. | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
A machine that generates thousands of bubbles was invented in the | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
1970s, it allows the divers to experiment with the dives reducing | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
the risk of the landing that called cause injury. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
I am glad you have decent stuff on which to work and I wish you all | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
the good luck. I know you have all of the people behind you. | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
Thank you very much, Edna. That is brilliant. | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
It will not just be us in the East End wishing Pete and his partner, | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
Tom Daley, well. One local girl made good in 1948, now wouldn't it | :16:37. | :16:44. | |
be great if a local lad could do the same in 2012?! Thank you very | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
much, Ade Adepitan. Pete Waterfield is going to partner you, well, | :16:47. | :16:52. | |
hopefully, the team is to be announced later. He has had a neck | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
injury, is he OK? He has had the injury, that is why we did not | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
compete together in the championships, but he has had a | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
couple of injections and he is recovering. | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
In the Olympics you are going for a four-and-a-half? A four-and-a-half | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
tuck. You had a go at this in the | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
European Championships, but obviously the distance you have got | :17:14. | :17:18. | |
does not increase, but you have to get an extra rotation. How do you | :17:18. | :17:25. | |
do it? It is the most difficult dive that I do, in that one, I | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
scored nine-and-a-half, so that is one of the better ones I have done. | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
So I run down the end of the board, throw myself as hard as I can, and | :17:34. | :17:40. | |
I literally clutch the knees to my chest and squeeze as hard as I can | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
for four-and-a-half somersaults and literally punching to the water as | :17:43. | :17:47. | |
fast as I can. The bit from the tuck to the straight is literally | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
seconds that I have to do it as quick as I can. | :17:51. | :17:56. | |
Are you aiming to get another somersault in on the way up? I have | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
been having a good look! I find it easier to do in competition, in | :18:00. | :18:06. | |
training it is hard to do it. You need the extra adrenaline to get it | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
up higher in the end, the extra sharpness and spin. It is a really | :18:10. | :18:14. | |
tough dive to do. It looks beautiful. Since Beijing | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
you have grown five inches, in your book you talk about how difficult | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
it is to deal with growth spurts, how are you dealing with this now? | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
For the diving I am one of the tallest divers in the world. Most | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
divers are short. It is something that I have had to deal with | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
growing up. I have had to do strength work to ensure that the | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
height-to-strength ratio is good. So that I can jump high and still | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
perform the dives without getting weak. I have gotten taller and | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
stronger. Beautiful lines. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Each week we have been following the Falklands War as it happened 30 | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
years ago. The last time we ended with a stage set for a British | :18:58. | :19:08. | |
:19:08. | :19:09. | ||
military invasion. Here is what happened in the next seven days. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
It may not have been anything like the scale of a D-day type landing, | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
but it has been a big one. These are the most marvellous fighting | :19:18. | :19:23. | |
forces in the world. They are courageous, and dedicated, fighting | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
a just cause. The landing was carried out by | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
stealth rather than force. The ships moved in and dropped anchor. | :19:31. | :19:36. | |
I'm on the beach. We are going ashore with the paratroopers | :19:36. | :19:45. | |
heavily lain with missiles and guns. We are back on the Falklands. | :19:45. | :19:51. | |
The Harriers ably supported gave the Argentinians a pretty bloody | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
nose. The British Forces have established | :19:53. | :20:01. | |
a firm bridgehead on the Falklands. Royal Marine Commandos and the | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
Parachute Regiment are now assure in substantial numbers The general | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
had admitted that the British had landed on the Falklands and said | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
that the battle was continuing. The President predicted it would be | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
difficult for Britain to recover the Falklands after what he called | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
the enormous losss in British lives and equipment. | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
In London several thousand demonstrators took to the streets | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
in a march for peace in the fiebgdz. -- Falklands. | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
The police mounted an assault on the rooftops and put a summary end | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
to the counterdemonstration. Only eight weeks ago, Margaret Thatcher | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
was happy to sell the general arps and ammunitions... The ship was not | :20:49. | :20:57. | |
sunk by missiles but by missiles supplied by France. | :20:57. | :21:07. | |
:21:07. | :21:08. | ||
Argentine Ricky Villal was left out of the Spurs top -- final. | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
Another ship lost with 20 crew missing... Last night, hours after | :21:13. | :21:21. | |
being hit she sank with her ship's company of 175 officers and men, 30 | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
are injured and 20 are assumed dead. Do you have something to say? | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
forces have been magnificent, as you expect. | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
What is your feeling to the loss of the Argent? The figuriate HMS | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Antelope was bombed by Argentine aircraft on Sunday in the Falkland | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
Sound. The crew struggled to put out a series of fires. Suddenly, an | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
:21:59. | :22:03. | ||
unexploded bomb went off. HMS Coventry came under erepeated | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
air attack yesterday evening and later sank. One of our merchant | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
ships, the Atlantic Conveyor, was also damaged and had to be | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
abandoned. But despite the grievous losses, neither our resolve nor our | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
confidence is weakened. APPLAUSE | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
She was rallying everybody. She really is a man, probably a weaker | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
man would have given in. I think that she gave the | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
leadership that we have been seeking. We should go back and say | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
what a wonderful person Margaret Thatcher is. | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
Recently still photographs of the fighting in the South Atlantic were | :22:49. | :22:52. | |
received. They were the first television pictures we have had | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
today. The missile had been spotted seconds before it struck. The | :22:56. | :23:02. | |
captain of the Sheffield was Sam Short. | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
I am sure that every captain would say that their ship's company was | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
the best afloated, but I certainly believe that mine was. | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
After a ten-hour journey from the ascension islands, the sure viefrs | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
from HMS Sheffield were led down with their captain, Sam Salt. | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
And John Sergeant is here. Nice to see you. You were a Political | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Correspondent at the time. We saw in the film that there was dissent | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
at home, but is it right to say that match Margaret Thatcher was | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
fighting her own war in Parliament? She was. It seems odd looking back | :23:43. | :23:51. | |
on it, but people thought could she as a woman be a war lady. There was | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
Enoch Powell who would say that the Russians thought she was the iron | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
lady, and in the next few weeks we would see what she was made of. So | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
it what a test as to whether or not she was up to the job. | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
She got through it well. Margaret Thatcher was not pleased | :24:08. | :24:11. | |
with the terms that the BBC reporters were using at the time? | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
No, she was not. I think that the news people were OK. That is people | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
like me, but she was cross about the current affairs people, the | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
Newsnight people in particular. They would say things, there was a | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
famous occasion when it was said that, "If we believe the British." | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
So trying to be equal between comments made by one person and the | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
other. She would have thought why not say "our forces." | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
We can see her reaction to a Panorama programme. | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
The leader of the opposition, said that he was shower that the people | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
of the BBC were trying to do their duty in difficult circumstances and | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
contrasted that with hysterical bloodlust of some Fleet Street | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
newspaperss, the Prime Minister replied that the media were free to | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
publish what they wish, but equally that they were free to say what | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
they think about it. Clearly John Sergeant, not John | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
Bishop! You have not changed a bit. What was the mood like at this time | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
30 years ago. Did it change a lot? It was surprising, when the | :25:23. | :25:31. | |
taskforce was sent, of 0% of the people recorded an opinion poll had | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
supported her stand, but as the weeks went by the strength of her | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
position grew to well over 80%. Then the Conservatives improved | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
their position and she then went on to win the election in the follows | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
year. It had an enormous effect on our political history because of | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
the way that people thought, right ifow can win a war like that, what | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
else might she be able to do. And it meant that her relationship with | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
Ronald Reagan grew more important and people look back on it. That | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
was not just a test, but the beginning of something very | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
different. Yes, it was indeed. Thank you very | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
much, John. On Friday we get closer to the events and hear the story of | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
somebody on board the HMS Coventry when it was hit. On Friday we | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
welcomed the Olympic Flame to Britain on a special live show from | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Cornwall. A huge thank you to everyone who helped to make it | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
happen, especially the crew at RNAS Culdrose who made us feel very much | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
at home. There is the torch burning beautifully. David Beckham! Today | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
the torch went out for the first time whilst going through great | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Torrington in Devon, apatch -- attached to the side of David | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
Follett's wheelchair, he was going too fast, but a replacement torch | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
was re-lit from the mother flame that travels with the relay at all | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
times it is words like the "mother flame" that reminds us there is | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
something we did not have time to show you on a previous programme. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
So here is Ian Fletcher with his words of encouragement. | :27:08. | :27:15. | |
Sorry I could not make it to Land's End, but we are tied up with Danny | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
Boyle-related issues. So yes, it is here, it is arrived finally, it is | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
too late to turn back. What a brilliant news that is. What a | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
journey it has been. I know it was a shock for all of us when we got | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
the Games, I remember the look on Kelly Holmes' face. We have dug | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
deep in the course of the aquatics centre. The great news there is | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
that the leak is controllable. So that is a big positive, we move on. | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
It is not over yet. Now that the flame is here a new journey begins. | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
As you know we have worked hard to ensure that in the next 70 days it | :27:57. | :28:03. | |
will come within an hour of inspiring 90% of the population. | :28:04. | :28:11. | |
Given that we were not sure what that originally meant, that is very | :28:11. | :28:14. | |
satisfying. So, basically, it is all good. | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
And it is too late to turn back now. A big thank you to Hugh Bonneville | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
and John Moreton for sorting that out there are three special | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
episodes of 2012 coming to your screens in July. | :28:27. | :28:34. | |
And look who has joined us, Tom and Debbie are on the sofa. Let's get | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
Tom his first legal drink. What did you order? Well, I thought I would | :28:39. | :28:49. | |
:28:49. | :28:51. | ||
order a DietCoke because it is my mum's favourite drink! I'm a creep, | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
aren't I?! Was it just the Coke? There is vodka in there too? Lovely. | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
We have something for you, Tom. It is embroidered, it is good quality! | :29:04. | :29:12. | |
There is a towell in there. Look at that, The One Show! There | :29:12. | :29:18. | |
is even a verucca sock! And another surprise, row didn't know that they | :29:18. | :29:26. | |
were here today, please, welcome your brothers, Ben and William, and | :29:26. | :29:35. | |
your grandparents! And from a grandparent's point of view, any | :29:35. | :29:40. | |
advice to the 18-year-old? What advice can I give him? All I want | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
to say is you stay the way you are, Tom, don't change. When you are | :29:46. | :29:52. |
