22/03/2012 The One Show

Oh! Well, I don't know about you, Matt, but I think we finally have

the chairs we deserve?! I agree, look, two cup holders and lots of

leg room. Oi! Get out of our chairs! Sorry, Tom, sorry, Dan, I

think we better go now! Right. Hello and welcome to The One Show

with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. Now, in their rightful place, the top

two of the biggest chairs I have ever seen it is Sir Tom Jones and

Danny O'Donoghue. Well, I have to say, this feels

very weird. We normally have a nice little sofa, there but... We are so

excited to have the real coaches' chairs from the The Voice, but I

feel like the Borrowers? Give us an idea of the chairs from the The

Voice, what they do? If you like what you are hearing, the first

part of the One Show are blind auditions, you don't see the people,

you just hear the voice. So you press the button and the chair

turns around and you see them. You didn't spin around?

They have not been wired up correctly! Thank goodness I'm not

plugged in. You would disappear up the roof!

Engineers have been working on the chairs since 7.00am, here they are

and they still don't spin around, but we have them in the studio.

Is that the amount of time it took to sort them out? Yes. Yes! Well,

we are talking more about the most anticipated new TV One Show in ages

a little later on. Saturday night, 7.00pm, BBC One. We are going to

say that a lot tonight! Also with us is one of our biggest Olympic

hopefuls for London 2012 it is Jessica Ennis. It is very important

to warm up, Tom was on that chair for 15 minutes beforehand, but, she

is not the only athlete on the One Show tonight is she, Lucy? No, she

is not. We have athletes of all shapes and sizing. We are in Long

Eaton in Derbyshire. To be honest, I feel like I've had this tune

playing in my head all week. Now, let's stop this, we have serious

work to do, we are not at the finishing line yet. Last night, the

runners brought us through Leeds, to Oldham, Manchester city centre

down to Stockport, into Derbyshire, via the Peak District, into

Nottingham and here we are. Later on I'm speaking to Robin Hood and

we have a special Long Eaton surprise for Sir Tom Jones. See you

then! A Long Eaton surprise? Last night a Leeds Rhino rugby player

had his head shaved, it was patchy at best. Now, there is one group of

visitors ruffling the feathers of the locals at the Lake District.

Anita Rani wades into the debate. These geese are living on bowed

time. They are at the heart of a battle gripping the Lake District.

A battle they this are calling Save the Windermere 200. On one side,

there are the Windermere Geese Management Group proposing to cull

up to 200 of the Canada geese. On the other, is a concerned group who

feel this could be the needless death of these animals. These

fellas are caught in the middle. The Windermere Geese Management

Group is made up of land owners and led by the Lake District National

Park Authority. They say that the Canada geese spoil the land with

their droppings. They say that a cull is the last option left, but a

lot of people in Windermere disagree.

Clive Hartley has spent seven years studying Windermere's Canada goose

population. We have a population on here of

about 350, to 400 birds. They are actually resident here all year

long, but we get an influx, as many as 700 at a time for six weeks in

June and July. It is this migration element, I think, that are causing

the problem. More geese means more droppings. This increases e-coli in

the lake, but the nutrients in the droppings fertilise the algae in

the water. The high numbers of geese nesting

on the islands on the lake have forced indigenous ducks out of

former nesting sites. Are they a pest? Are they damaging

the national ecosystem? Windermere is a large lake.

The Windermere Geese Management Group disputes the numbers saying

that this are 800 resident Canada geese. They are proposing to cull

up to 200 of them on their nests. That could be soon. Of course, we

asked Windermere Geese Management Group for an interview, which they

declined. They said that the cull provoked a strong public reaction,

that they have taken that on board, but it has not stopped the

campaigners from wanting to kill the cull.

There are proven non-lethal ways of reducing the numbers. That is what

we want them to do. They say that they have exhausted

that way and the only way left is to cull them.

They have not brought forward the evidence. Where is it? That is all

we want. I would like a non-lethal manner for this issue, then we can

come to the issue of a cull after that.

The first memory of many of the people here is coming down here to

feed the ducks, the birds, they would be horrified if this

unnecessary cull was going ahead. The campaigners are determined to

stop the cull. This will be a blood battle...

what the tourists and the locals in Windermere, what do they think?

They can't do that. They are killing part of the lake. I don't

think that culling is a bad thing, but if it can be avoided, that is a

way to go. I believe that they can be a

nuisance in that they destroy a lot of the habitat. In some way it is

is a good thing, but it must be done in the right way.

But the anticull protectors say that there are ways of manage

managing the geese population. Are you anticull? No, I'm a

conservationist, not an animal rights person. If the lake is

carrying the right number of geese for the lake, then all that will

happen if you take away these geese is that others will come in and

occupy the space. So what is the alternative?

have to look at each site to determine what it is that makes the

site attractive to geese. So tackle the food source, using fencing, dee

coys, predators or things that like like them. Control is not about

bird proving a site. What you are trying to do is convince the birds

involved that they would rather be a little further along.

We have received a statement from the Windermere Geese Management

Group they say that they have tried fencing, mechanical skairg, they

are saying that the only option left is a cull.

I think we need a breathing space to appraise the arguments of both

sides and come up with a more balanced way of dealing with the

Lake District's goose problem. Thank you very much. Good news for

the geese, since Anita Rani visited the Lake District, the Windermere

Geese Management Group have said that the cull will be delayed to

explore other options that have emerged.

Now, let's get back to The Voice. Matt and I were lucky enough to see

a 20 minute preview on Monday. We absolutely loved it.

You were playing the game? can't help but do it! People will

be definitely buying swivel chairs, but, Tom, why did you choose, the

The Voice? You must have been had lots of offers before? I saw the

American version, I liked it it is different to hear people sing and

not actually see them. Until, when you do it, you are not

prepared. There is no pre-conceived, what does this person look like?

And saying that, when you do turn, does the singer look completely

different to how you imagined in the head? You are trying not to

imagine anything. Sometimes it sounds like a girl, it is a boy.

That happened a few times. Did it? I turned around and I was

sitting there, I could see that there was this look on my face. I

genuinely thought it was a boy when it was a girl.

So, as you are sat up there, you are in this world, what is it that

you are listening for? Can you sing? Can I sing? He can! I don't

know what to sing? Sing Happy Birthday.

Close your eyes! # Happy birthday to you

# Happy birthday dear Danny... # on! Get in! I went folky there for

some reason. It is not just amateurs, on the One

Show we saw we saw a familiar face, and there is a girl from one of the

Strictly groups? Yes. Let's have a look.

# Papa always has a joke # To make me laugh

# See mama knows best when I feel down... # APPLAUSE

Having heard that, I wish I had gone a little more gravelly with

Happy Birthday. The reason why I said Happy

Birthday, it gives a great opportunity to hear your voice. If

I ask you to sing a popular song, you sing like them.

You didn't turn around? The whole time I was looking at Jessie J. I

was full when it came to that point. I had two spots left, but that just

goes to One Show. That one one of 406789 we all have ten. You can

only have ten each. That is the level of ten on the One Show it is

incredible. It must be hard, the ones that we

have seen are brilliant. There are great singers on it.

You get competitive. If two coaches turn around, the power is in the

singer's hands, isn't it? That is right.

Now, do you get competitive, the four of you? Yes! We try to pitch.

We try to let the person know what we can do.

It is funny, you played the eldest card at one point? I do. This fella

came on playing the guitar. He was really good.

Soy thought I would tell him a story about when I was with Elvis

Presley in Hawaii, playing guitars, saying that he reminded me of him.

Then, I get that in there. Then he talked about working with Michael

Jackson... Then I picked up all the names from the ground. I thought, I

can't compete. I was playing with my mate Brian in the tube station!

It will come down to a public vote later on down the line? Exactly.

Have you got FA to people at home to go with The Voice, instead of

what the person looks like? I think anybody who has knead so far, they

have incredible voices. If they do look good on top of it, this is the

plus. We definitely come from an industry where we have never been a

self-appreciated band, we never put the image on the cover. We always

think then about whether they are fat, skinny, tall. So we think

about the song. I'm daring everybody to play along

with us too. Close your eyes, play along.

We did straight away. Well, may the best voice win. You can see the

first set of hopefuls audition this Saturday on BBC One.

And later on we are live at the Nottingham and Derbyshire borders

to see how our helpers are running for Sport Relief.

We have Fiona Phillips with us now to talk about a subject close to

her heart. Many illnesses in old age cause

depression, loneliness and depression.

Rita supported her husband until he died in 2008. Since then, she has

been living alone. When you have been together a long

time and never been on your own it is hard to cope. I'm a happy person,

I don't like being sad and lonely. Sport Relief funds many projects

around the country which help over55s with a variety of issues.

Bristol Rovers runs one of the Extra Time clubs that provides

fiscal activities, social interaction and social days out,

such as trips to the zoo. Rita goes to the Extra Time club

once a week. The minute I walked in, they made

me feel welcome straight away. When the others rieved it was as though

I had been going forever. Extra Time clubs are supported by

Premier League and football league clubs to provide activities for

over 55s, who suffer with illnesses and challenges later on in life.

It is a lifeline for them. It gives them a chance to take part in

activities that they have stopped doing or lost the ability to do.

Both my parents suffered for years with Alzheimer's it broke my heart

to see them fade in front of me. So I know how hard it can be for

suffers and their families. Frank was diagnosed with dementia

in 2010. Since then, his wife, Iris has been his primary carer.

Frank, do you enjoy going to the Extra Time club? Yes. Oh, yes. It

is... It is good to chat about our friendship.

Old times? Yes! So at this stage that Frank is at, what are the main

problems with Frank? It is definitely his memory. Even his

sister came in one day, he could not remember her.

I can't go through the night as he is getting out of bed. So I'm awake,

it is like having a baby. Do you feel isolated sometimes?

can't do the things that I would love to do. I can't visit anyone. I

don't go swimming. I take Frank to the gym, he has a heart problem. So

he needs to go out. I'm grateful for Extra Time because

it's my anchor. If I have had a bad morning with Frank, I know I can go

along and there is always people there with open arms and it is just

phenomenal. It is better when there is someone to talk to and laugh

with. The money you give through Sport

Relief will continue to help projects like the Extra Time

projects and many others here and abroad. Your donations can really

help to change people's lives. You can support Sport Relief by

Your money really does make a difference. Back to The Voice. We

have said it, but we will see it again. Your job as the coachs is to

judge the voice without seeing the person? To start with.

We have two voices, here we go. Let's see what you think of tease

two. # When I'm with you

# I'm so sedated... # A good voice? Would you turn your chairs?

Absolutely. Well, that is... Lady Gaga.

She is 19 in this club. I saw her do a small acoustic when it was

just her and a piano. I have never been more blown away by a voice.

You take off the make-up. There is a very incredible talent. It would

have been embarrassing if I had not picked her. Track number two, Danny,

here you go... # And I've gone out my front door #

That is lovely. That sounds young. I would guess that is a famous

singer. Give them lots of that. It is just as well you said that.

Here is that little girl singing, can you guess who she is? It is

Jessie J! I was thinking it sounds a little bit like Jessie J.

A very good voice for her age. So, Danny, what is the outcome?

What is the winner of the The Voice to get? They get a recording

contract with universal. That is an incredible thing. Every musician,

anybody I know would cut their left arm to get a deal like that. They

get an opportunity to present their talents in the best way shape and

form on TV, in front of millions of people week after week, but the

record deal, that is what everyone is fighting for.

You have said it to us, the standard... That was one person,

you have seen it. Tremendous. So, The Voice debuts on Saturday

night. It will then be less than a day for our One Show One Show 1,000

relay runners. Lucy, have they reached you yet?

In a word. We are behind. We have had a lot of difficult terrain, but

we will still get to the Mall on Sunday on time. Helping us, we have

a couple of runners waiting to go. Shannon, why did you decide to run

the mile for us? I used to watch the world pass my by. I wore a size

30, I lost the weight, now it is time to start running.

Brilliant, thank you very much. Jonathan, Shannon is handing over

to you, did you want to do the mile just to dress as Captain America?

It has the benefits. I heard you were short of numbers

for the Sport Relief 1,000. I thought I could help you out, that

Captain America would turn up and save the day.

Yes! Great. Our excellent runners in the last 24 hours, here is what

they have been up to. Dave Kelly, registered blind,

finished the mile that he began on last night owes -- last night's One

Show. In order to complete the 1,000 relay by Sunday, the runners

are still going through the night. By morning, the runners arrive in

the hills of the Peak District. Some are finding the going fouing.

I suffer from as -- going tough. Suffer from Asma. It is -- a stma.

I have my inhaler. For Susan, this is it a special run.

I just finished my chemo. This helps to give something back and

help other people. Susan's mum and son, Daniel, have

turned out to give her support. Think that my mum is brilliant.

Susan completes her mile, lifted by her family.

Moving forward, I know that I can achieve things. Get my treatment

out of the way, the only way is up. That's what it is all about. There

is so much support here at Long Eaton for our runners. Amazing. We

have the local knights... We have the local archery team... And we

have the community here from the Long Eaton schools. Fantastic. Now

let's have a chat to people doing their bit for Sport Relief. Martin,

your challenge is epic, it starts in May, what is it? I'm powering my

boycott from Land's End to grotsgrots.

That is great. Now, we promised you Robin Hood, here he is. You are

just over the border from Derbyshire, does that make your

nearbyous? No, I am feeling good, these are friendly people.

What are you doing for Sport Relief? We go down to Nottingham

embankment to start off the Sport Relief mile.

We are hoping to start off lots of people. Thank you. Thank you. Thank

you. Now, Michelle, you have raised a lot of money.

Yes, I have, just over �1,000. That is fantastic. OK, brilliant.

Brilliant. There is still a lot to do. Our One Show One Show 1,000 are

to take in Worcestershire, Salisbury, Bath, but they will

arrive at the Mall on Sunday. The best of luck to them. Please,

donate. It is impressive what they are doing. We have not forgotten

Sir Tom Jones, we have a special Long Eaton surprise for you.

Nottingham's premiere Tom Jones impersonator, take it away, sir!

# My, my, my, deLila # I said why, why, why, deLila

# And so, before as they come to break down my door

# Please forgive me, delielafter # I just couldn't take anymore --

please forgive me, deLila # I just couldn't take anymore #

How does it feel when you hear people imitating you N- -- you?

feels good. Well, 2012 will be an amazing year

for sport in this country. An amazing year for a woman who is one

of our biggest medallist hopefuls. COMMENTATOR: Following the foot

steps of Sally Gunnell, Paula Radcliffe, and Fatima Whitbread, we

have another world champion! The girl from the city of steel came to

Berlin, hunting for gold and she's done it! APPLAUSE

Wearing the Stella McCartney- designed British Olympic kit it is

Jessica Ennis. Here we are, all in a bit of a kit for the Olympics

team. This is what you will be wearing? Yes, this is the track and

field competition kit. There is nothing of it? I know it

is skimpy, but it is practical. It will be great.

What are your first impressions of the kit? Do you like it? I think it

is gorgeous. It is great that the way the flag is the main focus it

makes us feel like a team. It is a great kit.

Is it important to feel the part when you are performing? Definitely.

You have it feel comfortable. Adida have been great working with us.

They work closely with the athletes and high-tech equipment and to feel

good as well, stella has gotten involved and she brings the fashion

side of it. You are on posters, on lots of

party campaigns, how do you ensure that it does not take away from the

performance on the track? You have to be organised and structured with

the time to ensure that the training, nothing takes away from

that, that you fit everything else in around it. You have to make the

most of this great opportunity, but first and foremost is to train hard

and win medals. The pressure, how are you coping?

It must be hard? It is a lot of pressure. A lot of people have put

that Gold Medal around my neck, but it is great support. Everyone is

behind us. Just go out enjoy it, then relax

and do stuff. It is a once tpwh a lifetime

opportunity. -- once in a lifetime opportunity.

You have to enjoy it. Do you have tickets? I hope so.

I have my medals! If I had to do what they are doing, I would be

scared! What wouldn't would you like to be involved in, Tom? All of

them! How is the training going? It is varied with the heptathlon, so

many different events each day? is lots of training. I am preparing

as best I can before the Games. It has come round quickly? It has.

It seemed like years away, but now it is here.

And sometimes you sing in your head when you train, would you like to

give the boy as quick blast? No! No, I do always have a song in

my head it takes away from the pain, but that's in my head, not out loud.

What is the song? All sorts. A bit of everything, whatever is in my

head! Thank you very much to Jessica, Tom and Danny. The The
