22/02/2017 The One Show

Angela, the One Show's about to start. We are nowhere near the

studio and we've got to deliver tonight's programme. I'm going as

fast as I can. I've only got baby legs. You have to push a bit harder.

Push, push. I'm pushing as hard as I can. Take plenty of deep breathes. I

can see the titles. The tie reallies coming! -- titles. We arrived and

the titles arrived safely, too. Thank goodness! I enjoy that.

Welcome to One Show with Nurse Matt Baker. You look good in a dress.

Thank you. And Sister Angela Scanlon who looks equally as good in a

dress. We have Call the Midwife and have gone one for who always keeps

calm in a crisis. With your next pain I want you to push with all

your strength. Really show me what you can do. Ah, help me. You're

doing wonderfully. Just keep calm and breathe. It won't be long now.

Well done. I have done this once or twice before Mr Dockerill. Please

welcome the very calming, Helen George.

APPLAUSE Hi. I'm that excited. I love Call

the Midwife a do this lot. Brilliant. Trixie keeps very calm in

a crisis, are you the same? Not at all. I'm the opposite.

I panic I'm a flapper, an absolute flapper. She's very controlled and

in charge of everything. I would be a rubbish midwife. Really? That is

worrying. Storm Doris apparently will be here.

It sounds like a character from Call the Midwife. Batten down the

hatches. That is the message. Before Doris arrives in full force, because

we love the name. Tonight we are are looking for Dorises, windy or

otherwise. Send your pictures into the usual address.

For most of us, the only way to get money out of a cash machine

is with a card and a PIN number, but reckless criminals

are using much more explosive methods to get at the money,

and they don't care who gets hurt in the process.

This is the moment a gang of robbers blow up a cashpoint. Sending debris

flying into the road. This gang caused ten explosions in just one

month across London and the south. Which netted them a total of

?120,000. These cashpoint bombings are happening across the country and

police want it stopped before someone gets killed. Trinia Taylor

knows better than most the attacks pose. This was your place? Yes it

was. My bedroom there. My daughter's above. Last year, she and her two

teenage children were sleeping in their flat over the village Post

Office when they were awoken by an almighty explosion. At one point I

thought it was a gas explosion. It was the like the whole flat, like a

cartoon went - and it went back together. All the cup boards were

flown open. Everything was chucked out, on the floor. Fitted cooker had

jumped out of its socket. The fire went straight up and through the

floorboards. Below the flat and following instructions on a mobile

phone, the robbers had filled the cashpoint with highly flammable gas

before setting it alight. This is the first time Trinia has seen the

CCTV footage of the moment her family's life was put in danger. Oh,

my God. Wow. He's setting a bomb and we are upstairs asleep. When you

think what could have happened, it's scary. This is was the result. The

explosion ripped the front off the Post Office. Morning. A year on,

owner David Andrews, says the damage and loss of business cost nearly

?200,000. That's on top of the ?60,000 in cash stolen by the

robbers. Absolutely horrific. It looks like a terror attack. It does.

We worked eight years to build up the business. The impact of this has

set us back four or five It's a Post years. Office, a service to the

community, isn't it? Absolutely. We were closed for four months. A lot

of the local residents had to go elsewhere and they struggled. It's

not just the money, it's the impact it has on the people as well. These

explosive attacks have been on the rise. Across Europe where the crime

wave began there was an 80% increase last year. With more 70 attacks in

the UK alone. Businesses and banks have lost millions of pounds in

stolen cash and damage. What are police doing to stop this explosive

new breed of hole-in-the-wall gangs? They they are leading a response on

ATM attacks. There is damage caused by these explosiveses. We have been

working with the ATM industry some machines are fitted with suppression

see equipment that stop the explosiveses taking place and

armoured plating to stop the gangs from getting at the cash in the

machines themselves. The new cash machine here is one of thousands

across the UK have now been toughened up to defuse this

explosive crime wave. As for the perpetrators, police say these gangs

should know loppingeninger be treated like robbers, but more like

bombers. That means prosecutors taking a hardline approach using

special powers from the Attorney General to charge the gangs, not

just with burglary and robbery but with the most serious explosive

offences. These offences can lead to life imprisonment. I think that

really recognises the seriousness of the offending and the recklessness

of those offenders. Already this year, a number of gangs have been

sentenced using these powers, including the three men behind the

Longashton attack who were jailed for more than 20 years in total. For

Trinia it's a jail term that befits a gang that cared little for the

consequences of their crime. They were bombing. They were

concentrating on getting the cash with no thought for anybody who

might be living above. They intently endangered my life. Incredible

footage that, isn't it? That's the point, the recklessness of it. Not

thinking of who would be above the cashpoint or anything like that.

Fitting the sentences are more severe now for sure. Yeah. Helen,

Call the Midwife Christmas special was a hit, NTA under your belt. It

has gone from strength to strength. Last week's episode was a real tear

jerker. I still haven't seen it. We don't get to see them as they are

filmed. That is what I missed. I have to catch up. I will watch it.

Sglm very emotion al stuff. Some tweets, people online saying they

were devoid of moisture, they were weeping uncontrollably. Lovely

Cynthia was back as well. This whole storyline is amazing. I know. How

down do things get on set when you are filming situations like that? On

those days when you are going in, are the whole cast down? Everybody

is good about it. There has been some really emotion al scenes, as we

all know. Sometimes it gets you. One particular moment when Pam Ferris,

when her sister died. They brought out her coffinw her shoes on top. It

floored me, all of us. So, yeah, it is really sad at some points. On the

flip side we spend a lot of time giggling and getting into trouble.

There is a fair balance. You deal with quite hard subjects in every

episode, not just last week's episode. Is that tough emotionally

and gruelling as an October orror to immerse yourself in it every day It

is because a lot of the storylines aren't that long ago. You realise

how far we have come on for a lot of them and how much further we have to

come. You are documenting these cases. You take your dog with you?

It's true. We have a picture. Apparently there are more dogs on

set than people at times? Than babies, most of the time. Most of

the regular characters have dogs. We bring them on to the set. We sit

around at lunch with our dogs having a lovely tea party. That cuts

through the emotion al vibe on set? Yeah, sometimes. When my dog walks

on to set and barks and makes a smell or something. It's always a

bit awkward. Does that happen often It does! It is happening for your

character, Trixie, in the last episode, that you haven't seen yet,

you met a dentist. Your character. I did. There is a ate date about to

happen. Let's have a look at how it goes. If the world is about to be

blown up you have to be shone a good time. Londonside your oyster, you

can do anyone you want, dine, dance... I think I'd quite like to

sit here, with you, doing not much at all. Just see what happens.

APPLAUSE Wow! See what happens. I mean, can

you give us any idea what happens? Does he kiss me, doesn't he kiss me?

You tell us. That scene, there is a beautiful car that we used for most

of his scenes. He has this gorge ghouls pale blue sports car. He is 6

foot 4 the car is a Lego car. He was like this for the whole time for all

of her scenes. Trixie has been hurt before. She is unsure about entering

into the relationship even though he is quite a dish. He's all right. I

think she's very vulnerable because of her alcoholism in the past. She's

nervous about letting anybody in. So, it's not a romance that sails

swimmingly. There are bumps along the way. The Christmas special, how

much of a highlight was it to go out to South Africia and what did the

locals make of it all They couldn't believe it when they said we were

going to South Africia. We thought they were joking. An amazing

experience to spend a month in the country. You get a sense of it and

how it works and how the politics, work in the country and how it is.

How off the beaten track were you? We filmed in town ships. The set

designers had to do little to change them as if they were 62. That's

quite troubling, still. It was a real eye opener. South Africia is

the most beautiful country. The sunsets were golden. There are quite

a few of them in the Christmas special. The light is so magical,

stunning. Your character, Trixie, per a Caesarean section quite a jump

up for her. Is that her entering into a more medical role, is that

part of her conjectory? I hope so, that's for the writers to decide.

What I like about the character is, she's gone from being very much like

the bubbly blonde who, you know, was having a laugh about boys most of

the time. She's come through to six years later, performing a caesarean.

It's exciting to be with a character for so long and see where that will

take her in the future. You mentioned her alcohol problem, is

that something you would like to explore within the character as an

actor it's probably a gift? It owes the storyline that. It's something

that never leaves people. It's a constant battle. That can't be

forgotten about. It's engaging for a lot of viewers. There are people who

would like to thank you tonight. You will be amazing. I have the Frinton

and Walton Gazette here. I will read you this headline "sister helps

deliver baby Dolcie by the A120 using tips from the TV show Call the

Midwife. We have Dolcie here tonight. Looking beautiful. Oh, my

word. It was 11 months ago then. Yes. What was happening? What was

the situation, go on? Aunty Sam. We were sent home from the hospital.

She wasn't in labour. Go home. We got to my house shech was in so.

Pain we had to take her back. We got into the car. By the time we got to

the end of of my road they's head was delivered. Danielle were you in

the back. I was laying out in the back. Samantha was in the front and

my husband was driving. You went for it then. Who were you channelling

which character? Trixie! In the programme Trixie is so calm so

collected. I just thought - try to act like her. Everyone was breathing

altogether. So the head was born. Then by the time we got to the A120

I delivered the baby, wrapped her up, had a little look at the time

and... The sex we didn't if it was going to be a girl or boy. Handed

her to mummy. No gas or air. What do you remember? Not a lot. You think -

anything could have happened. If it wasn't for Call the Midwife and my

sister I don't know what I would have done. Incredible. What did they

say when you got back to hospital, you turned round and went straight

back. This They say, oh, dear, rushed us in quickly. Cut the chord

in the car. Got baby in. She is Dolcie Samantha after me. Let us

give you a quiet little round of applause. It's lovely to see you.

What about that, Helen, how inspiring you are?

That is amazing. Have you had stories like that before? I haven't

heard that, but I am always asked if I could deliver a baby for real. I

always say that I think most people could, if they were under pressure.

I couldn't, probably, let's be honest. But well done. Amazing, what

a cute baby. Call the Midwife continues on Sunday, eight o'clock

on BBC One. We will be talking about Helen's new play, Love in Idleness,

later. I wouldn't bother coming back to us! Stay on Dolcie. Listen up,

Dolcie. We've given two Shetlanders,

who've never been back to islands of their ancestors,

the chance to do just that as part Well, you'll find out

when you meet Albert and Ernie. My name is Emma Massingale, and I

train horses using a gentle and unobtrusive approach, without

restraints. Last year, I spent a month on a remote island to see if I

could train some wild ponies so they could join the ones I already have

back-up my farm in Devon. I work with many different types of breeds.

Two of my favourites are the Shetlands, Albert and Ernie. But if

they are short on height, their temperament is superb for riding and

working, and I always wanted to find out more about the breed. I have

decided to take them back to their roots, the Shetland Isles, to find

out how they have evolved into this unique animal. It is the most

northerly point of the UK, with 100 islands in the group, only 15 of

which are inhabited. I'm so excited, we are nearly at the Shetland

Islands. To delve into their history, we are going to explore the

land and roam amongst some of the native ponies, which is going to be

a challenge for them and me. For over 2000 years, they have been used

for domestic use. But although Shetland ponies grow no taller than

42 inches, for their size they are the strongest of all breeds. They

form the backbone of one of the Shetland's most important ways of

life, crofting. This family has farmed here for generations. They

were vital, going back to the years when you had to use them for

ploughing, for transport, for taking fuel back to the croft house. They

were essential, really. The fact they are so small, as well. It meant

they didn't eat so much grass. Over the centuries, they have evolved to

become hardy animals able to withstand the harsh winters the

islands have to endure. The coats are perfect for the extreme weather,

Finance LP in summer months, and doubling up for extra insulation in

the winter. In the colder months, the lack of grazing makes it harder,

so they have been known to snack on seaweed. They have just tried it,

I'm not convinced they think it is very tasty. They were also used to

collect seaweed, which is put on the land as fertiliser. I had a go with

Albert, using the old, traditional method. These baskets, you have one

each side. That keeps it balanced. Then we put the seaweed in. It

wasn't just their strength that made them useful. Fishermen would use

their tail hairs and twine them together to attach fishing line to

the hook. Let's see if we can catch a fish. Albert and Ernie Waite on

the shore for my return. Unfortunately, it is not good news.

No Joy fishing whatsoever. Noodles all round. It would be easier if I

just ate grass. You don't want noodles. He says, what is this? You

won't like them. That's gross! After a busy day, it is time to settle

down for the night. Believe it or not, these two Akim campers. We have

camped on the moors before, but nowhere as stunning as this.

Although they like their home comforts, like their blankets... I'm

not sure this is giving them a true experience. Tomorrow, the adventure

continues. Bernie gets stubborn when I try to get him on the boat.

Tempers frayed when I tried to introduce them to a herd of native

Shetland ponies. We will find out how they get on in

about 30 minutes. Last June, in the midst

of the Brexit debate, we were all shocked by the news that

in Batley, West Yorkshire, local MP, Jo Cox, was murdered

by a man with links A wife and mother, as well as an MP,

Jo's death led to some amazing Jo's husband, Brendan,

has been campaigning ever since to turn the tragedy of Jo's

murder into a force for good It has been a long day of big

announcements. First, eight months on, how are you and the family

coping? It still feels very early. I think when something... You know,

anybody who has lost anybody, the first few weeks are a whirlwind.

Particularly when it is something like this, so sudden and violent, it

takes a long time to take it in. A lot of the time it still feels like

I am living in shock. And then there are moments when it sinks in and the

reality of the situation, the permanence of it. It is one of the

few things in my life that I have not been able to do anything about.

There is no fixing it, you just have to deal with it as best you can.

That feels horrible. So The Great Get Together is your attempt to turn

something so horrible and seronegative into a positive? -- and

so negative. You can see from some of those pictures. Jo have this

amazing energy. She was a ball of enthusiasm. She loved life. We

didn't want the anniversary to be a solemn thing where everybody was

depressed about life. We wanted it to be something that represented

her. She loved to party, she liked getting together with neighbours.

The reason this was done was to try to divide amenities. We couldn't

think of anything better than to show how United we are. On the

weekend, people getting together, sharing food with their neighbours.

Celebrating the things that we have in common. You had a high-profile

launch. The Duchess of Cornwall. Jamie Oliver as well. You have just

been getting us out there. People that want to be able to show their

support, how can they get involved? It has been an incredible engagement

already. We have been working with The Big Lunch, organisations from

the Premier League, Help For Heroes, the trade unions, faith groups, huge

positivity. The RSPB. I think we are tapping into something. People are

sick of the nastiness, the tone of politics, whichever way you voted in

the referendum, which ever way you vote in elections, that is not what

defines you. I think people are crying out for those moments, to

bring ourselves back together. Being British, we need an excuse to do

that. We are not great at reaching out to neighbours. We hope that

people will take part. We would love you to go to The Great Get Together

website, if you want to put on a street party, if you go on the

website, we will give you the details of how to get involved and

whether local events are going to be. Today, you were doing cupcakes

barbecues, picnics, basically any event, however small. Sadly, it is

just an excuse to get together. Often, when you live in a community,

he wanted to and you are looking for the excuse to start the

conversation. We were making cupcakes, the Duchess of Cornwall

was on the case. Did she do one of these? You might be able to guess.

Are you saying it is good or bad? Think this was hers. She had a very

freestyle approach! Jamie Oliver had a more practised arm. I did not do

one. Is there a significance to the butterfly? Not that I am aware of,

you can eat them. They are edible paper. I am worried they might get

stuck in my teeth when talking to the Duchess. I haven't spent much

time with royalty. I am sure it has been an emotional day, you must be

shattered. I am going to put the kids to bed and hope they don't wake

me up at 4am. Thank you for joining us.

If you're a fan of American art - or pitchforks -

you might want to get down to the Royal Academy

That's because a new exhibition is opening and the star of the show

is a famous painting that has never left the US before.

Anita has been for an exclusive preview. It is recognisable to

people around the world, many who hardly know its name or even that it

is from a painting. Here it is, in the flesh, American Gothic, painted

by Grant Wood in 1930. It is hanging in the Royal Academy as part of a

brand-new exhibition. It is the first time it has ever been in the

UK. Give me a bit of history, for somebody that doesn't know anything

about it. Grant Wood, from Iowa, he took a photograph of a house when he

was driving through a town. He posed to his dentist and younger sister in

front of it. He had the dentist hold this pitchfork and produce an

amazing double portrait. They could be anybody. These communities were

being left behind. Are they representing ordinary people in

America at the time? Sort of like guardians of the past. What does it

say to us in Britain? Tells us about a Time in America when things were

very uncertain, the future was unknown. What is relevant is that we

are kind of confronting that again. What do you think they are thinking?

He's looking to you as if he is saying, I dare you to come any

closer. She is feeling unsettled by this. The charm of the painting for

me is that it represents ordinary people, with everyday thoughts and

desires, and elevates them to icons. So, what are ordinary people

thinking about today? I have enlisted some help us to find out.

If he would step into my studio. No expense spared. We are going to give

you that. What is on your mind? I have a nice lunch, I would like to

find somewhere to sit down. Whether I am going to be able to find the

dress I need for my daughter's 40th. Work, I am going to be late.

Starting a new job. What are you thinking about? I was thinking it

was wonderful for her to ring me to London for my birthday. I am having

a very mellow day, really mellow. We are celebrating my husband's

birthday. I'm looking forward to the show and my dinner. And how amazing

your wife is? Yes, you are reading my mind. I'm hungry, contemplating

whether to go home or not. I'm really stressed, I started

accounting and I am contemplating how I will learn all of this. Were

to hit the shops, the children I left behind. She is the only one

prepared to come shopping with me. What is going on in your mind?

You don't want to know what has just been going on.

Am I going to break for you? We 14? I was upset with the money that you

gave Fergal. You wouldn't apologise or admit that you had done anything

wrong. It's a tough time. There is a lot of... Brexit! You know? Your new

President. Don't put that on me! I'm just saying it is a tough time.

Welcome. So, you guys get pregnant after a quick... You know? A casual

fling. You decide to get hitched pretty early. Where did the idea

come from? Our lives. In real life, we have 23 kids between the two of

us. Separate marriages. When you have kids, a large portion of your

life ends. That is all you think about. We are coming up to the third

series. Can you bring everybody up-to-date with what happened, why

you are where you are? Yes, they have a fling, they get married. The

first series is about them getting to know each other while being

pregnant and having lots of terrible things happening to them, including

having a baby. The second series is about them staying in love while

having children. There is a big-time jump between one and two. Two and a

half years pass. The third series is more of the same. Now they have

decided they are together and that is it. No matter what terrible thing

happens to them, they will deal with it. Were they reluctantly wallowing

in the fact they can't go anywhere? Still in love. Series one was a lust

story, if two was an endurance test, three is a love story. How well did

you know each other? This is incredibly personal. Drawing on your

own experiences? Series one, we would say, don't hate me, but a few

years ago, I... Series three, I already know you hate me, listen. In

the beginning we were tentatively be, here is an idea. Shocked at each

other! We know pretty terrible things about each other and it all

goes into the show. Can you say the child's name? I can

say it. That wasn't great. That was one of the MEP memorable moments

from the first series was naming the baby with the name that was close to

your heart, but a little tricky. It doesn't run off the tongue. Sharon

grew up in a strange land, far off land, far beyond the mists called

Ire-land, people talk funny there. I can say that. You are out numbered.

I wanted to call her a name my husband couldn't pronounce. I

started crying. He thought I was going to push the issue that he

would spend his life not being able to pronounce his daughter's name. We

thought that would be a funny thing. It took you a while. Now you are

perfect with it. Got it. What about chucking the sheets out the window.

Was that based on anything? My mum did that. My mum was pregnant. I was

outside of her body and vomiting in her bed. I vomited on the other hand

it. She balled everything up and threw it out the window. My dad came

home from work and was like, oh, God, again! He wasn't bagging up a

dead dog at the time. We used our imagination as well. It's a mix of

the two. As an Irish woman watching it there are points when I go - what

is your mum thinking, awkward conversations afterwards? No, my mum

loves it. I mean, my mum and dad are both in their 70s and they love it.

I don't think... I'm worried about them seeing the first episode of

Series 1, it's a bit rude, I guess. It's all rude. No, they're fine.

They are OK. Good. Carrie Fisher played your mum. She sure did. How

did that come about? We wrote a postcard to Hollywood. We didn't

know anybody I who knew her. There was no back channel negotiation. We

wrote her, we sent all the scripts for the first series to her agent

and the pilot and said - maybe show this to her. We figured they would

throw it in the trash, rubbish, in British English. She decided to do

the show. Which is shocking. It's still shocking. We were surprised

when she turned up on set. We knew we had booked her. Until she was on

set we thought she would pull out. It was wonderful to her in the show.

Wonderful getting to know her. You saw her just before hand before she

died. She filmed up to a few days before. She left to go home. We were

all hanging out with her. As we dpot to know her, we were afraid to

really use her. We put her in little bits. Didn't know she would come

back for Series 2. ? In seer Series 3 she is a bill part. Hill lir

lairious, wonderful and poignant. Writing and starring in it a touch

of control freakness on set with Carrie... You had to let her do her

own thing. Other characters would be, can we improvise? She doesn't

ask. It's better than we wrote. She starts singing a song. Watching your

face while you look at the lips you were doing all the lines and timing

right. I don't know if you were, but you were. I hope you're joking.

That's intense. The new series of Catastrophe starts next Tuesday at

10.00pm on Channel 4. We have lots of Dorises sent in. Let's go. This

is Julie's chicken, Doris who lives with the whole family in

Bedfordshire. This is Doris who lives in a nursing home in Essex. 87

today! Very good this is the Doris in Paul's lives. This because Storm

Doris is on the way. It was on the news earlier on, Rob, there you go.

With all this talk of delivering and working with children,

we thought we'd honour a true unsung hero.

Here's Michael Moseley on how one man's eureka moment has helped

If you visit a neonatal intensive-care unit, there's one

condition you will see more than any other. It affects eight out of ten

premature babies. This is baby Clara. She was born premature. After

she was born she developed a yellow contigency to her skin, a sign her

liver was struggling to clean her blood. It's known as jaundice. It's

common. Two of my kids had jaundice in severe cases it can be

life-threatening. These days it can be cured by nothing more than blue

light. The simple but ingenious treatment is thanks to the

pioneering work of a doctor called, Dick Cremer. When he was a junior

doctor in the 1950s the treatment was much more extreme for jaundice.

Dr Fox is a consultant. She would have had invasive treatment called

an exchange blood tran fusion. -- transfusion. Cremer knew they were

traumatic for the babies and parents. Katherine is Cremer's

daughter. He was a neo register for the first time. Part of his role was

to do exchange transfusion in very tiny babies and he was apprehensive

about that. One of the reasons he was keen be to avoid transfusions

was because there were deaths of babies that they couldn't explain.

Cremer was determined to find a better treatment. Jaundice in babies

is caused by the build-up of waste product in blood called bilirubin.

Inspiration for a different way to remove this toxic build-up came from

a senior nurse Cremer worked with. Nurse Ward was a believer in fresh

air and sunshine. She took babies out of their incubators and into the

garden. After one particular walk in the sunshine with a jaundice baby,

Nurse Ward showed Cremer and the other doctors something remarkable.

Where the baby's skin was exposed to the sun light the signs of jaundice

were fading. No-one knew if the blood itself was affected. The

crucial breakthrough came when the blood sample from a jaundice baby

was left on a sunny window sill. There was a surprising change in the

serum, the watery component of blood. Sally Brady is a clinical

biochemist. For a baby with jaundice, bilirubin is orange, their

serum will look orange like this sample. The sample left on the

window sill, when they analysed it the serum was green. That is

different. The sunshine converted bilirubin to this pigment. It isn't

dangerous to babies. Cremer had cracked the chemistry. Now he needed

to turn this discovery into a treatment. He knew he couldn't rely

on the British sunshine. He started looking for an alternative. Cremer

and colleagues tested all sorts of lightbulbs. In the end it was blue

fluorescent light that proved to be best at breaking down the toxic

bilirubin. Cremer's team designed a light machine to treat jaundice and

it revolutionised treatment of this condition. He was so modest, I think

it didn't occur to him it was something that would end up in

hospitals all over the world affecting quite so many millions of

babies as it subsequently did. I assume you are quietly proud? I'm

loudly proud. Little Clara is responding well to her treatment,

it's remarkable that a simple light can cure such a serious condition.

Michael is here now. How is baby Clara doing? Really well. One of

three triplets. There she is, looking cheerful. A team of

triplets. We are doing research for you tonight, Helen. Doing my job for

me. How do you do your research as far as midwife is concerned? We have

a brilliant midwifery adviser on set to talk through everything with us,

really. Then when we did the caesarean I was offered to watch

one. Because I'm squemish I couldn't I watched YouTube videos. That's it

really. You might be able to help out more now. You will go through

the history of how various inventions came about in the world?

The great ones. The incubator. Premature babies. That was invented

in France. British and American doctors didn't see any point in them

in keeping babies alive who were young, let them go was kind of the

view. Martin Couney, entrepreneur, he decided he would build and use

them. That is him there as an older guy. He is holding the babies up

like puppets. He was quite a character. Those are very small.

Quite a character! The thing was, babies cost quite a lot to keep

going $15. The best way to do it was to exhibit them. You can go and see

the Living Babies. Get a candy floss. That is how he raised money?

Absolutely. He dressed them up in big clothes so they looked tiny.

It's controversial. This was very popular, as you can imagine.s since

the medical profession was largely ignoring him he estimates he saved

around 7,000 to 10,000 as a result of this technique. He came to Earl's

Court, did an exhibition here. How that is doing healthcare now. Have

you to go to a carnival and film it! He did it for 40 years. Really? What

is the story with baby monitors? Charles Lindbergh, 19 30s. That is

the man. His older son is kidnapped from the house and this obviously

created anger throughout the States. He is concerned and denines and gets

his staff to build a baby monitor. That is not Charles. That is the man

who wanted to - An early baby monitor. Can you imagine using that.

Radio Nurse. It did not take off. It Costello $2,000 back then. Here we

had the Baby Nurse. He fed it through the electrical system as

well. It would take another 40 years before anyone took it seriously.

That was where the stuff comes from. It evolved quite a lot now. He kept

picking up other conversations. That was a major flaw. You would get the

radio and the traffic report from the cops. It wasn't perfect. You

used to listen in to what babies were doing. Now you can see what

they are up to. There are some very - We are not sure whether or not

this is real. Have you seen this. The core strength on this baby is

remarkable. I'm sure it's not real. That looks more comedy than reality.

I remember those days! You have a new series on the science of food.

That is right. You have been sampling breast milk? I have. It's

been a long time since I sampled breast milk. Finger in. Producer's

friend donated it. Down it goes. What did you find out? Really that

it's a lot sweeter than cows milk. I break it down there. It contains

four grams of fat to eight grams of sugar. Would you give it a go, your

face says might not. These are breast milk cocktails you brought

for us! One for everyone in the audience. It's delicious. It's

different. Have you drank it? My breast milk is delicious. What is

interesting about this is the fact that if you look at that ratio two

to one of sugar to fat. We don't love sugar in the sense we don't get

a bowl full. If you mix them together in that race owe you get

ice-cream, chocolate, chocolate biscuits and cake. They have the

ration owe of two units of carbs to one of fat. My God. I could have

made all of those things! There you are. And shared it out. The things

you learn on the One Show. Thank you, Michael. The Secrets of Your

Food starts Friday 9.00pm on BBC Two.

Back to the Shetland Islands, where Albert and Ernie are trying

And, I'm afraid, they're having a bit of mare.

I've brought Albert and Ernie on a trip to the island of their

ancestors, the Shetland Islands, to discover the history of this hardy

breed. They feel very at home, they are grooming each other. Is it my

turn? Good boy! During the 19th century, the increased popularity of

Shetland ponies as pets and the numbers needed to work down coal

mines led to a reduction of quality stallions left on the islands. The

Shetland ponies society was formed to protect their purity. Bernie has

a passport show that he is pure bred. Steve Rendell has been looking

into his ancestry. He traces right the way back through to the very

beginning of the studbook. He goes right back to Jack, that was is that

the Lord Londonderry stood in Shetland. It was from the 1870s

onwards. Probably the most prolific stallion in the breed. We can say

that his ancestors come from Shetland? Even know he wasn't born

here, he is certainly part of the rich heritage of the island. We are

going to a small island to the west on the mainland. We are going to

meet some of his distant cousins. In order to get there, we need to

travel by boat, not something they are used to. Good boy. It seems

Ernie is not completely on board with the plan.

He says, I'm scared. Good lad. Crofters would regularly squeeze

them onto boats to transport them from island to island. Good to go.

Because I like a challenge, we are all going to spend the night out

here, giving Albert and Ernie H Anstey and integrate with the

Shetland ponies that live freely on the island. The herds take three

weeks to form, so I'm not expecting them to be best buddies by the

morning. Hopefully they will get to experience a bit of what life would

have been like in the Shetlands. After the initial family welcome,

one of them is not so keen on the new arrivals and tempers fray. The

one that keeps seeing them off, it is her job to make the decisions for

the hook. At the moment, they are being pushed away. Hopefully they

will be able to get closer and she will not be so desperate to push

them away. My priority is to find somewhere to sleep. My sleeping

quarters don't look much. I've just got a bag with my sleeping bag

inside. It's really nice, I've got the ponies over there. Shetland

ponies, like all horses, only need a couple of hours of sleep a day, and

they tend to power nap for 15 minutes at a time. It's going to be

a restless night. That is the lead mare. That is what

it was like for the rest of the evening. I had an incredible night

last night. It was really windy. All I could hear was the ponies making

lots of squeaking, socialising. It's been incredible seeing Albert and

Ernie out in the wild, with their friends. Although they have bonded

with some of the herd, it is time to say farewell. It has been absolutely

amazing, seeing them here, in their native land, where they are supposed

to be, in the Shetland Islands. It is certainly a tough and rugged

place to live. You can see why they have adapted so well to their

environment. As for Albert and Ernie, they know a different life.

That life is back home in Devon with me.

Quite a journey home. Looks like they had a lovely time. They picked

up some souvenirs? According to the holiday snaps, these lovely jumpers.

It's more of a cardigan, you can see the nice buttons down the front.

That should be illegal. How much dog is in those ponies? What percentage?

There was no reference of dog, I can say that with good authority, we

have one on our farm. There he is, with his winter coat. Helen, let's

talk about your new play. It is called Love in Idleness. Trevor Nunn

is directing it. You have come from rehearsals. A quick change. It is a

take on Hamlet? There is a rough theme of that through the play. It

is set at the end of the Second World War. It's about a brilliant,

young, handsome man called Michael, who is 18. He comes back from being

evacuated to Canada. He comes back home to see father has died, his

mother is living with a war cabinet minister, a Tory. Michael is a

strong socialist. There is a strong political theme that is probably

quite relevant. I play Sir John Fletcher's younger wife, a bit of a

money grasping naughty lady, Lady Diana Fletcher. She gets intertwined

in the, the comedy of it all. Trixie, delivering babies and being

fabulous, and then this character of a minx? She is bit of a one. Lovely

cast. Great cast, Anthony head, good old Trevor directing. It

interesting, the fact that you like to keep that stage side of things

going, as well as TV drama. Is that the same with you, Sharon? You have

done some onstage as well. How do you think they relate? Well, I have

only done a little tiny bit of stage. I like that, I liked the

immediacy of it. It is nice to get a response from an audience that is

right there. Also, it is a pain. Isn't it? Every night, the same

thing. It is nice when you do short runs, this is a six week run. When

it is six years, obviously... You are looking like piggy in the

middle. You do more stand-up? If I am on a stage, I like to be saying

things that I thought in this terrible, sick mind of mine. That is

very important, and I have to do that or I die. You won't be doing a

turn on the West End? No. All the best with the rehearsals. I know you

are at the stage where it is all... But I am sure it will be OK. Two

weeks, it will be fine. Our next film is about

a very serious subject. In 2012, the Supreme Court ruled

that people convicted of sexual offences and placed on the sex

offenders' register for life had As a result, 15 years

after being released from prison, sex offenders in England and Wales

can now apply to be And for many, that is

extremely worrying. I am on my way to meet two amazing

young women, both survivors of abuse, who have bravely waved their

anonymity to speak to The One Show. The nice and 87, when they were just

five and six years old, Kate Taylor and Ceri Jones were reviews that

their school in the north of England. Going to court on

prosecuting him didn't really help us. But getting him put on the sex

offenders register for life meant we were protecting other children. At

least we knew he could not do it to somebody else. But a chance phone

call to the police led to cater finding out that her abuser had

applied to appeal. I said, he can't, the judge put him on the sex

offenders register for the rest of his life. That is when they told me

that in 2012 the law had changed. It knocked me off my feet, completely.

It was not what I was expecting to hear. He took away our human rights

at six years old. He is being given human rights to come of this

register. He should stay on for the rest of his life. Finding out the

abuser had applied to be removed from the register was hard enough.

For Kate the news was made more disturbing by the fact the victims

may have never known about the appeal. They said they had not been

able to locate us. South Yorkshire Police said they had been in the

process of identifying victims when they were contacted by Kate and that

they always seek to obtain victim views when an application like this

is made. But it is not mandatory. The Home Office guidelines say that

the decision to contact victims should be made on a case-by-case

basis. Then Kate contacted the other victims. He got in touch with them

all and they were interviewed by the police? The result was? The police

came to see me and said that he was not going to be allowed off. Is that

now for life? No, in eight years he gets to apply again. Kate and Kerry

are angry that the abuser has the right to appeal to be taken off the

register, and they are dismayed that victims are not automatically

notified of any appeal. Both decisions are taken by a local

police force. Michelle from the council for the management of sexual

and violent offenders explains how it works. The rationale as to if

they come off the register is whether or not they pose a risk of

harm to the community. If they don't, they will probably be allowed

to come off registration. According to latest figures, there are 52,770

sex offenders on the register. Just over 1200 have applied come off it.

687 of those were approved. Michelle agrees that too few victims have

been contacted. We have recognised there are lot victims that were not

involved in the process and we want to improve that. The police say they

are now introducing a new system. We have revamped the process and it is

about to be launched, where the victim can come in at any time to

the police force with express wishes of whether they want to be

contacted. For Kate and Kerry, it is a step in the right direction. But

they want the public to be made aware of the change in the law and a

legal requirement for the police force to contact victims when an

appeal is made. They are also backing a campaign to encourage more

discussion of this issue in schools. Sex abuses such a taboo subject, two

in three children never say anything. But we are talking now.

Very brave to waive their anonymity. Why was the offender not named? In

this case, there happens to be another teacher with the same name.

We do not want them wrongly accused, so we chose not to name the

offender. Since this has been come in, hundreds of people have been

taken off the register. What does that mean? When you are on the

register, you have to register details with the local police force

within three days of your conviction, or being released from

prison. That means you have to give your name, date of birth, address,

but also whether you live with a child, in the same building as a

child, things like your bank account details, passport. Plus, if you are

going to be away for more than seven days you have to notify the police.

You have to tell them if you are going abroad and giving details of

travel plans. When you come off the register, you don't have to do any

of that, you don't have to furnish them with that information. But you

still have a criminal record, so if a sex offender came off the register

but applied for a job in a position of trust, a teacher, working with

vulnerable people, that conviction would still be flagged up. What is

the criteria of coming off the list? Who decides? The local police force

will make the review decision. They will look back at the original

offence, how serious it was, the age of the victim, the difference in age

between the offender and the victim. There will also take very careful

notice of any evidence that came with the case in the first place.

They will talk to local authorities, parole officers, people with

day-to-day contact with the offender now. They will take the decision

very seriously. It is a rigorous review, conducted by people high up

in the police. Ultimately, it rests with the Chief Constable. You will

be back tomorrow? People will have heard of the Independent Inquiry

Into Child Sexual Abuse. It has been beset with problems. Tomorrow we

have an exclusive interview with the chair of the inquiry. If you have

been affected by any of the issues we have been talking about tonight,

there is more information on the website.
