23/09/2016 The One Show

Now, time for the One Show with tonight's guest presenter. Would you

come on my show sometime? I was thinking Crimewatch, because you're

driving is criminal. Honestly! Hello and welcome to the One Show with

Alex Jones. And Jeremy Vine. Tonight is the night every Strictly --

Strictly fan has been waiting for is the couples take to the dance floor

for the first time and we remember it all too well. The whole time, I

thought, is it my left foot first or not? Every time I asked the

question, I couldn't remember. And all you can hear is your own

heartbeat. Later on, Carrie will be backstage to see how the celebs are

handling the pressure. There she is behind the curtain. I bet everybody

is so nervous. Putting on the last layer of fake tan like a sideboard.

Putting more and more glitter on. Ed Balls there. Also tonight...

AS FEARNE COTTON: Jeremy, I'm sorry, it's Alex and Fearne tonight, not

Alex and Jeremy. You were supposed to be here last night. On the sofa

tonight, the man behind this... # Only know you love

her when you let her go The award-winning Passenger will be

here playing in it to stage version of Anywhere. -- an acoustic version.

Tonight's guest is a woman of a thousand voices. Who can it be? I'd

probably be up with the greatest musicians in the world. If I met my

16-year-old self today I wouldn't say anything to her, I'd just give

her a list of husbands to avoid. It's Morgana Robinson! That

impression of Fearne is amazing! Thank you, it helps because I look a

bit like her. It was Fearne who got you started in impressions. Yes, a

lot of people said I looked like her so I thought I'd have a stab at it.

I fell into it, like cheap suit. You did that prank on Chris Moyles.

She'd put on about two stone. We will hear about your amazing

repertoire later. You do mail impressions as well. I like to make

it hard for myself. In the news, French hitchhiker Cedric

Rault-Verpre waited a staggering four days for a lift and nobody even

so much as slowed down. That was in New Zealand, recently named the

second friendliest country. If you can't get a lift there, where can

you must mark the end of hitchhiking as we know it? We let Kevin Duala by

the site of the M23. You might have tried hitchhiking but

now you ever see -- you never see anybody. Everybody was happy to

catch a lift, from an ordinary working man to the Rolling Stones.

Even if it was for a publicity stunt. It was a time of fun and

freedom that harkens back to a bygone age where the pace of life

was slower and cars could really get the speed limit. Sorry, mate, I know

you're having your coffee. I wanted to ask you about hitchhikers. Have

you seen any lately? Not like you used to. What do you think are the

dangers? You don't know who you let in your car. They could have come

out of... If you were driving along and you saw a hitchhiker, would you

pick them up? No. Why must you mark safety. Where have the hitchhikers

gone? People have become more affluent so they can afford train

fares and also they have become more susceptible to irrational fear. We

couldn't find any statistical evidence that hitchhiking has become

more dangerous for either passenger or driver. Let's see if there are

some good Samaritans out there. Weatherproof each -- clothing, sign,

marker, a good, strong thumb and a lovely smile.

It worked! The winning smile. Have you ever hitchhike? When I broke

down once. What were you thinking, was there in your mind any fear? I'm

not frightened of anyone. Maybe it's not as difficult as I thought.

Brilliant. Excellent. James, thank you for picking me up. I appreciate

that. Back in the day, did you used to hitchhike? When I was a student

it was one of the ways of getting around. Where is the furthest you

went? From Dublin to go away a concert. -- to Galway. When did you

last pick up a hitchhiker? About five years ago. What are your

thoughts on hitchhiking? I did it many moons ago, I hitchhiked to

South Africa. I think it's different now. I'm quite trusting. What makes

you stop? There was a woman who I let in but I was terrified. But what

goes around comes around and I try to be helpful as I can. Two things I

noticed today, two sets of drivers, one not interested, just driving

past, the others you could see that they were slowing down, shall I,

shan't I, unsure, so maybe hitchhiking isn't on its last legs.

Speaking of last legs, I've got to get home. In the meeting, you told

us you had quite a close shave with a hitchhiker. When I was 21 and left

university I was travelling in the States and I was feeling good about

the world and I picked up this guy he was running by the road and he

got in and said, I haven't stopped running for the last five minutes.

Yes, well, he said he'd been swimming in a river. That's a worry.

As he surfaced, he was staring into the face of a crocodile. He started

running and I picked him up. Then he said, where are we going to get some

beer? I realised I was in trouble. How far? 120 miles. There aren't a

lot of places to stop in the States. I haven't picked up one since. That

was the end of it. Morgana Robinson, your new show, The Agency, starting

on Monday. It's based on a celebrity agency. One of the client is

Miranda. Let's have a look. AS MIRANDA HART: Well, hello there.

What a veritable thrill it is to see you again. Oh! Miranda is just a

character I played in that show whose name shall not be mentioned

and night I've moved on from playing Miranda in that show, I can unveil

the real Miranda. I find, I do not do that any more. Excellent! I love

the mechanics of how you build that impression. Do you sit and watch

pictures of Miranda for a day? Until my eyes bleed. That's what I do. I

watched them a lot. Any teeth in there? The good thing about it, it's

not just a sketch show, it was like their stories developing through the

series. Give us some examples. Danny Dyer is in there. Oh, yes. He's

going into children's literature. Of course, that's the next step,

obviously. And we've got Natalie Cassidy, she wants to be an the One

Show. She want your job. Does she? In the New Year, she might be able

to. I mentioned earlier impressions of men, and I can't remember male

impressionists doing females ever. There was a guy who did Thatcher but

apart from that... It's unusual. I have to strap the girls down. They

don't behave. I went to a girls school so I was tall and I was

always playing blokes. I was conditioned at a young age. Can we

see Danny Dyer? AS DANNY DYER: My greatest

achievement is my Magnum Opus, a kids book. I'm not finished, I

haven't got an ending, but I'm so close. The main character, Danny the

bear, I want to play the geezer when they make a movie out of it. I put

my heart and soul into it. I need you to get me a gig on CDB 's

bedtime, get this out there. Crack on! -- CBBC bedtime. One of the

trickiest pairings in the show is Mel and Sue. Which one was the

biggest challenge? Soon, because it came after lunchtime, so after

pudding, and I'd start sneezing and I'd get a food coma and forget all

of my lines. By the end of the day, I didn't know who I was. The two of

them were in the same shot. Yes, I'm greedy. We'd have to make a line on

the sofa and I wasn't allowed to cross it. You have to learn it like

a song, because the timing has to be right. It was full on. It was all

about an agency. Does it reflect your career? The agent is loosely

based on my agent. LAUGHTER

He's very close to my heart. I love him very much. There is a lot of

character in the roles in the agent. Morgana Robinson's The Agency start

on Monday at 10pm on BBC Two. Do you let a few seconds on the floor get

in the wake of a tasty treat? Surely you've got at least five seconds

before a dirty doughnut is dangerous. The so-called five

several dozen sound scientific so we sent Alex Riley to put it under the

microscope. -- so-called five second rule. Have you ever bought yourself

a mount -- mouthwatering snack and dropped it on the floor? I'm not

wasting it and it me ?2 80. So you pick up and eat it anyway. It hasn't

been there too long. It is known to some as five second rule. The theory

is, if food is picked up quickly enough, it's safe to eat. Some

people live by the role and others think it's a definite no-no and all

food that goes on the floor should go straight in the bin. How many

seconds would you leave it? Five seconds. Ten. What's the point when

it's on the floor? If you do it quick enough the bacteria doesn't

have time. 15 second rule. View full of bravado! We thought we'd put it

to the test, so how many actually eat food that's been dropped on the

floor? Today I'm working in a cafe in Bristol where I'll be trying to

give away some of these delicious chocolate brownies. We rigged the

cafe with hidden cameras and hopefully the customers won't

recognise this new wobbly waiter. Let's see how they react. Can I

interest you in a free chocolate brownie? That's a silly question.

Sorry. It was only on the floor for a couple of seconds. Not that one.

Only for five second on the floor. Sorry. Sorry. I don't want food

poisoning. The five second rule. Don't eat it. I can't let you eat

it. At that one instead. It's not been on the floor. So, in our

unscientific experiment, a third of the people we filmed were willing to

eat food off the floor, but we certainly didn't recommend it. So

what we've learned so far is that everyone has an opinion on whether

the five second rule is valid but what does a science say? Doctor Ron

Cutler is a senior lecturer at Queen Mary 's university of London and has

actually studied the five second rule in the laboratory, but he's

done an experiment for us in a family kitchen to see what actually

lurking the floor. We've got four pieces of toast. We had them

battered on one side, we dropped them on the floor on the buttered

side and picked them up after one seconds, three seconds, five seconds

and ten seconds and we saw with the toast was affected by how long it

was lying on the floor. ... You took samples from each piece and cultured

them in the laboratory. Can you show us the amount of bacteria on each

piece of toast? At one seconds, it's heavily contaminated. That's one

second! If you extend that to three seconds and then five seconds and

ten seconds, equally badly contaminated. So what is on the

floor in the kitchen? A mixture of organisms from outside, bugs from

faeces from the dogs or cats, anything you brought in on your

feet, it is endless. Under the microscope, B samples from the toast

are in bacteria. You can see different types of dots,

representing bacteria. Some of these are little round blobs. They could

be streptococci. Could make of it all? It could give you a sore tummy.

To be clear, how valid is the five second rule? It doesn't work. After

one second, you get as many bacteria after five or ten seconds. According

to this scientist if you drop it on the floor you shouldn't eat it but

ultimately the choice is yours. So, armed with this knowledge, the

family the family that live here have given me an important job to

do. That has put me right off. Five

second rule? If it is your own dirt. If it is your kitchen and you know

what is on the floor. And if you know the last time you hoovered.

That was an unusually dirty kitchen floor.

MUSIC: Theme from Strictly Come Dancing

Hang on, that was the Strictly klaxon, which means it is time to go

to Elstree as Carrie takes us behind the curtain. Less than two hours to

go, what is happening in Elstree? I have got gossip for you! I saw two

performances in rehearsal this afternoon, one for a dancer with a

celebrity and I could not tell who was the dancer. Then there will be a

top also coming off tonight. We have got Pasha and Naga here. You have

been teaching Naga with metaphors, so do a couple of those for me. What

does the head on the pillow look like? And what happens when you go

from that too is if you are stalking me? You guys are going to go far!

All the best for the next couple of days, guys. We are really going

behind the scenes to the bowels of Strictly Come Dancing. And who

better to meet Dan Ed Balls and Katya? I hear you have been taking

advice from Jeremy Vine. Is this advisable, considering that he was

described as a stork being struck by lightning by the judges? Jeremy told

me he had the most fabulous time. He said, you just have to commit to it.

He said, have the spray tan. He said, I went completely naked and it

was the most exciting thing I have ever done. I can't quite join him in

that yet, but I am thinking about it. We need to see that! All the

best for the next couple of days. We are in the honeymoon period at the

moment, because no one has gone out yet. So there are no tears or

tantrums, it is all lovey-dovey. Oh, a Marilyn moment. We are going

through to the Clauditorium with Anastasia and Brandon. Brendan has

done every series. Does that put pressure on you? No. I like to be

taken care of by the master. She is doing great. But we need to do more

work, because we are having too much fun. I have donned my sequins, only

to find all the girls in dressing gowns. Vicky, you are the costume

designer. You have worked on 14 series. What does it entail? A lot.

How many rhinestones? Too many to mention, but maybe 10,000 on each

dress. I have got Laura's dress here. She is very small. She is, and

we use lots of colour and loads of these. I am loving this. It is on at

nine o'clock tonight, 6:30pm tomorrow night on BBC One. Back to

Jeremy and Alex in the studio! And the fake tan story was slightly

embarrassing. That was a joke played on me by Aljaz. He said everybody

does the fake tan naked. When I walked in wearing nothing, I could

see the lady thinking, this has never happened before. But at least

you had no unsightly lines. That is true. Behind the scenes at Strictly,

everything is manic. Behind the scenes in The One Show office,

things have been a little unusual. AS JOANNA LUMLEY: it is Joanna

Lumley. I am stuck in the car park, can you help? Yes, are you at

Broadcasting House? I am in the BBC car park, darling. The lady who said

she would be here is not here. I called the switchboard and they put

me through to you. It is Joanna Lumley! I have just had a fab lunch,

mainly liquid, with Jennifer Saunders. But I need to get my sweet

cheeks down to the BBC. You sent the office into a frenzy this afternoon.

Who else did you do? Bit of Natalie Cassidy.

AS NATALIE CASSIDY: as some would say, I can't remember now what I

said. Something about, I didn't pick the phone up because I was hanging

washing out. It was lovely. Amazing. More of the pranks you pulled are on

Facebook if you want to see them. One of the big events in the fashion

calendar, London Fashion Week, has now drawn to a close. But if not for

one unsung British hero, the world of fashion could have been very

different indeed. Who better to tell the story than a model who has seen

fashions come and go, the very beautiful Daphne Selfe?

The fashion industry has been my home for the last 65 years. In that

time, I have seen it all. In 1949, at the age of 20, I posed for the

cover of a local magazine and began a modelling career that has

stretched well into my 80s. Nowadays, people call me the world's

oldest working supermodel. But I prefer not to focus on the old. Even

though my whole life has been shaped by fashion, I didn't realise that

the man who invented life modelling was born only a few hours away from

my village. That village was in Lincolnshire, and that man was

Charles Frederick Worth. Born in 1825, he paved the way for the

fashion industry as we know it. But I am willing to bet that today's

fashionistas have never heard of him. Do you know who this gentleman

is? No idea. Not a clue. Very dashing, but I'm not sure who he is.

Though little recognised today, Worth began his career working here

in the capital, before moving to Paris to set up a fashion house that

would become legendary. Dress historian Amy has closely studied

his designs. Worth was above all famous for the absolute luxury of

his garments. In layers and layers of exquisite, luxurious fabrics.

These are evening wraps that women would wear to make an incredible

entrance from her carriage to the ball and then take off and show her

ball gown. That was like having a passion Meena, wasn't it? But with's

biggest impact was on the very business of fashion itself. Before

Worth, when a wealthy woman went to order a dress, she would buy all her

fabrics first. She would then take them to the dressmaker, whereas

worth, in an unprecedented way, dictated to his clients what he

thought they should wear. He was also the first designer to put his

name on a garment. He put his name on the label that went on the inside

of the waistband. He was also the first person to develop seasonal

collections. Wasn't he the first person to have live models? Yes,

when he had been working in the fabric shop in Paris, he met his

future wife, Marie. He started dressing her and people came in and

admired the clothes she was wearing. Thereafter, she continued to model

his clothes, but he also employed women to wear the clothes. That was

an innovation at the time. Worth almost single-handedly created the

global industry to which I owe my career. So, in his honour, The One

Show has arranged a unique photo shoot, and I have invited a rather

special guest. Portrait photographer Rankin is an icon in the fashion

world. He has taken snaps of everyone who is anyone, from a list

celebrities to Her Majesty herself. He will be shooting me in a Charles

Worth inspired outfits, and it is a first for both of us. It is very

big. You could knock people out with it. I thought we might do our shoot

in the window. Can we get you in there? We might, just. That is

great. Surrounded by luxury designer brands in one of London's top ashen

boutiques, I am replacing mannequins with life modelling, just as Charles

did. Gorgeous. We have a lot to choose from. But I want a fun image

that captures Rankin's style as well -- a final image. An eye-catching

picture to celebrate a true British trailblazer. Perfect. A very

eye-catching picture. That was a stunning photo. We are here with

Passenger, because his new album Young As The Morning, Old As The Sea

is out today. He will be playing for us shortly. First, just time to

thank Morgana. Morgana Robinson's The Agency starts on Monday at ten

o'clock BBC Two. Matt and Alex will be back next week with Lord Alan

Sugar, Dara O Briain and Barry Gibb. Here is Passenger with his new

single, Anywhere. # Darling, that's when I'm

# Oh, darling I swear I'll go anywhere with you
