Is that the most beautiful start we have ever had? Hello and welcome to

:00:30.:01:01.

prog-macro with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker. We just saw the incredible

:01:02.:01:07.

shadow dances Attraction, and we will have a live performance from

:01:08.:01:12.

them later on. We will also find out why our friend Andy Torbet has been

:01:13.:01:21.

doing this. Andy has been throwing himself out of a plane at 15,000

:01:22.:01:25.

feet and plummeting to the ground. It is all in an attempt to beat the

:01:26.:01:32.

fastest animal on the planet. Will he do it? From one Flying Scotsman

:01:33.:01:37.

to another. The world's most famous train is back on track. We will be

:01:38.:01:43.

seeing the restored Flying Scotsman in all its glory shortly. We have

:01:44.:01:48.

got flying presenters, the Flying Scotsman and our guests tonight are

:01:49.:01:54.

causing the arrows to fly every Sunday on Let's Play Darts For Sport

:01:55.:01:56.

Relief. Shall we give them the proper darts welcome? Yes. Here is

:01:57.:02:03.

Little Richard. This darts player is a proper Bobby Dazzler, a multiple

:02:04.:02:09.

tournament winner and one of the most popular pros ever to play the

:02:10.:02:14.

game. Darting royalty, Bobby "King of Bling" George!

:02:15.:02:20.

MUSIC: WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS BY QUEEN Our next player knows how to get 8

:02:21.:02:41.

Out Of 10 Cats, but can he get three out of three darts on the board? It

:02:42.:02:45.

is Jon "The Lancashire Hot Shot" Richardson!

:02:46.:02:46.

MUSIC: BIG BAD JOHN BY JIMMY DEAN Good to see you, my friends, have a

:02:47.:03:07.

seat. Bobby, I have to say, that code is right up my street. It is

:03:08.:03:14.

quite Shirley Bassey. What is the story behind it? I got it made in

:03:15.:03:18.

India. I saw it in a glass case and I said, I want one of them. You

:03:19.:03:23.

looked like a ruler or raking with it. So I waited five weeks for them

:03:24.:03:30.

to make it and they sent it to me. I thought one arm was going to be

:03:31.:03:33.

shorter than the other. It didn't come out perfect. Very nice. Bobby

:03:34.:03:40.

"King of Bling" George, is that your... Nice jumper, Jon. Reed

:03:41.:03:49.

ridiculous! From Bobby "King of Bling" George to our call out

:03:50.:03:53.

tonight. If you have a great sporting nickname, tell us about it.

:03:54.:04:00.

Here is a photo we couldn't wait to show you. Yesterday, we told you the

:04:01.:04:05.

story of Monty Short from Leicester who was searching high and low for

:04:06.:04:09.

her beloved Yorkshire terrier who was slowly earlier this month.

:04:10.:04:14.

Following our appeal, somebody call the police to say that a dog they

:04:15.:04:17.

recently bought strongly resembled that one. Today, police confirmed it

:04:18.:04:25.

was indeed Gog and she was immediately returned to a delighted

:04:26.:04:29.

mum. The power of television! Happy times ahead. Very sweet. This week,

:04:30.:04:37.

a study into obesity is found shot in just 5% of your body weight can

:04:38.:04:43.

have a huge effect on your health. If you are looking for motivation,

:04:44.:04:48.

how about the only football league in Britain where losing is the

:04:49.:04:49.

ultimate goal? Tonight promises to be a heavyweight

:04:50.:05:01.

clash here, where dyslexia and tied take on their opponents. Top striker

:05:02.:05:09.

Andy Alsop says he will ring -- run rings around the opposition. I will

:05:10.:05:17.

score a hat-trick. The captain is confident his side will put on a

:05:18.:05:21.

belly busting performance. We will lose more weight. You haven't got a

:05:22.:05:27.

chance. This isn't a normal matchup. These guys are part of a unique

:05:28.:05:32.

weight loss programme targeted specifically at men. Come on! In

:05:33.:05:37.

Solihull, 80 men with a body mass index of more than 30 have signed on

:05:38.:05:42.

to play in this football competition designed to help them lose weight.

:05:43.:05:47.

Recent figures show that over 66% of men in the UK are classed as obese

:05:48.:05:55.

or overweight. Paramedic Andy Alsop is currently 23.5 stone. In the

:05:56.:06:00.

past, when he signed up for weight loss programmes, he was the only man

:06:01.:06:04.

among mainly women and he failed to shed the plans -- he failed to shed

:06:05.:06:10.

the pounds. What makes this different? Men inspire men. You get

:06:11.:06:14.

so much more enjoyment with people who are in the same boat. His wife,

:06:15.:06:21.

Cathy, recently gave birth to their first child, Harry, which had a big

:06:22.:06:26.

impact on Andy's motivation. He will be want -- wanting to be running

:06:27.:06:32.

around and playing football. I want to be around for as long as possible

:06:33.:06:36.

to look after this one. It is time now to pull my finger out. Down the

:06:37.:06:44.

road in King sees, 21.5 stone Mark is keen to turn his lifestyle

:06:45.:06:50.

around. He is tired of people reading him about his weight. If you

:06:51.:06:54.

go out to eat, other people are looking at what you are eating. They

:06:55.:06:59.

maybe do it as a joke but it is a problem. How will your personality

:07:00.:07:05.

changed if you lose the weight? It will get me back to the kind of

:07:06.:07:09.

person that I know. I like to socialise, so maybe I will not be so

:07:10.:07:15.

withdrawn. Mark as a five-year-old called Stephan. With another on the

:07:16.:07:19.

way, like Andy, he is determined to lose the weight for them. Tonight,

:07:20.:07:25.

Mark's team will take on Andy's in their third game of the season. Is

:07:26.:07:29.

it important to have support from other guys in the same situation?

:07:30.:07:35.

This scheme is great because we are all looking out for each other. It

:07:36.:07:39.

is the social aspect as well. You don't want to come here and put on

:07:40.:07:43.

weight because you think you have left the team down. Isn't nice to be

:07:44.:07:48.

an all-male group. The banter is different. The teams are chomping at

:07:49.:07:53.

the bit. Time for kick-off. Maybe best team win. -- made the best team

:07:54.:08:02.

win. Solihull council are trying a number of male targeted weight loss

:08:03.:08:06.

schemes over the next two years at a cost of over ?100,000. This football

:08:07.:08:12.

league lasts 14 weeks with eight teams of ten playing for 30 minutes

:08:13.:08:17.

every Monday night. Public Health England and Martin Todd from the

:08:18.:08:21.

men's health Forum are calling on all local councils to recognise the

:08:22.:08:25.

need for weight loss programmes aimed at men. The figures are clear.

:08:26.:08:30.

Even though men suffer more from the bad consequences of being overweight

:08:31.:08:34.

and women, the programmes that are in place are reaching out to them

:08:35.:08:40.

less effectively. Mark's team have won the match 1-0 but there is more

:08:41.:08:45.

scoring to come. Over to the scales. For every two players that lose

:08:46.:08:49.

weight, their team get an extra goal on top of the result. Good luck. So,

:08:50.:08:55.

with a one goal margin, there is all to play for. After three weeks of

:08:56.:09:01.

playing, Andy and Mark have both scored, with Andy losing nearly a

:09:02.:09:05.

stone and Mark shedding half a stone. Tonight, mark's team are the

:09:06.:09:10.

winners with a combined weight loss of nearly five stone.

:09:11.:09:18.

The founder and poster boy, Andrew Shanahan, is in the studio. Let's

:09:19.:09:22.

have a look at a photo of him. This is a couple of years ago. Here is

:09:23.:09:28.

Andrew in the studio now. Andrew! What a difference! When you see a

:09:29.:09:37.

photo like that, how does it feel? Fantastic. What I want to do is to

:09:38.:09:41.

help other guys to do the same thing, to move from a BMI of 30,

:09:42.:09:45.

obese, back to healthy and get happier. Obviously more people

:09:46.:09:50.

across the country as well, which is the ultimate goal for this. Yes,

:09:51.:09:55.

this started in Solihull and we are looking to branch out all over the

:09:56.:10:01.

country and beyond. Good luck. How does the run-up to the match

:10:02.:10:05.

hang-out? Are you all on the same diet? We get given a programme at

:10:06.:10:10.

the start of the course to follow. We get dieticians and forums on the

:10:11.:10:17.

website. We are all sort of following our own and what works for

:10:18.:10:20.

us. Over 90% of the guys losing weight and it is clearly that you

:10:21.:10:27.

adapt it to your needs. The match at the end of the week, have you

:10:28.:10:33.

noticed a difference in your fitness level, Mark? We have gone from guys

:10:34.:10:39.

crawling off the pitch. Now, we are having to drag people off. In all

:10:40.:10:43.

seriousness, conditions like sleep apnoea, clothes getting better,

:10:44.:10:49.

everybody is noticing it. You can feel the excitement around you. We

:10:50.:10:54.

have got a result for you. We have totalled up the amount you have lost

:10:55.:10:58.

in the last six weeks. We are going to do it in sporting fashion. Little

:10:59.:11:07.

Richard... The total now lost is 13 stone and five pounds! Fantastic!

:11:08.:11:21.

What about that?! That is like one Matt Baker, can you believe it? Nick

:11:22.:11:25.

Wallis is here now with more on a story which got a huge reaction from

:11:26.:11:30.

prog-macro viewers. It was the second week in January. Remind us.

:11:31.:11:38.

What did you find out? It was hospital parking, specifically the

:11:39.:11:42.

lack of it for carers. We have since discovered this is a much bigger

:11:43.:11:46.

issue from the response we got from viewers of the one show. During the

:11:47.:11:51.

investigation, we said that the health authorities in Northern

:11:52.:11:54.

Ireland, Scotland and Wales didn't charge for carers to park at their

:11:55.:11:57.

car parks. This has been blown out of the water in the response we get,

:11:58.:12:03.

who said, I am sorry, that isn't my experience. To give you one example,

:12:04.:12:08.

Grace got in touch to say her daughter was having a baby at the

:12:09.:12:12.

maternity unit at her local hospital in Edinburgh. Not only was her

:12:13.:12:16.

daughter's husband charged for parking there but, when they

:12:17.:12:19.

overstate, because the baby was late, they got a fine. Watts what is

:12:20.:12:25.

going on? We went back to the NHS and said, what is going on? They

:12:26.:12:32.

said, most people who do visit car parks don't pay if it is an NHS car

:12:33.:12:35.

park but, if the car park is operated privately, people will pay,

:12:36.:12:42.

or if the hospital was built under the PFI initiative, under the

:12:43.:12:45.

current contract, people will pay for parking. PFI hospitals tend to

:12:46.:12:51.

be larger, so more people have an experience of paying for parking. In

:12:52.:12:56.

England, there are guidelines, which are voluntary. My question is, why

:12:57.:13:01.

are they voluntary and why doesn't every car park adhere to the same

:13:02.:13:08.

guidelines? You are right, they are guidelines and there is no penalty

:13:09.:13:11.

for noncompliance. Have a look at this graphic, which we put together

:13:12.:13:15.

using information from viewers after our last broadcast. If you know

:13:16.:13:21.

better, get in touch. Look at the differentials in rates between

:13:22.:13:25.

parking around the country. Chelsea and Westminster will charge you ?40

:13:26.:13:30.

if you keep your car in for ten hours. The disparity is just... It

:13:31.:13:38.

is hard to take it in, but it is all there. The temptation would be to

:13:39.:13:42.

say, why don't we clear it all down and make it free so there would not

:13:43.:13:47.

be a postcode lottery? The argument is that the car parks have to be

:13:48.:13:50.

maintained and they maintained by parking fees. If you get rid of

:13:51.:13:54.

them, you have to make a decision about putting money into car park

:13:55.:13:58.

maintenance which could go into life-saving operations, which is a

:13:59.:14:02.

tough decision. The government think that should be down to local trusts

:14:03.:14:06.

to make the best decisions which suit their sites. Now for an epic

:14:07.:14:14.

battle of the skies. In one corner, a sleek, powerful, skilled hunter

:14:15.:14:18.

who can swoop faster than anything on earth. In the other, a bloke

:14:19.:14:27.

called Andy. Over the last few years I've clocked up nearly 300

:14:28.:14:31.

skydivers. The fastest I've ever been free falling to Earth is over

:14:32.:14:37.

150 mph. But now I'm preparing for my biggest challenge yet.

:14:38.:14:46.

The peregrine falcon in hunting mode is one of the more formidable sites

:14:47.:14:54.

in our skies. The can reach speeds of more than 200 mph, making them

:14:55.:14:58.

the fastest animal on the planet. And I want to see if I can go as

:14:59.:15:02.

fast as this bird of prey in the sky. The Falcon's incredible speed

:15:03.:15:10.

is its primary weapon to catch prey. It can reach top velocity went

:15:11.:15:15.

plummeting from the sky in a near vertical dive called a steep. But to

:15:16.:15:20.

reach these speeds safely, it has some amazing adaptations. It has

:15:21.:15:26.

little cones of bone in its nostril, and it's believed that slows down

:15:27.:15:29.

the FO to prevent its lungs from bursting. It has a third eyelid that

:15:30.:15:37.

comes down to protect and moist in the eye in flight. It's see-through,

:15:38.:15:41.

so they don't lose vision at 200 mph. To protect myself, I will have

:15:42.:15:49.

a full face mask and helmet. The Falcon also has a powerful and

:15:50.:15:53.

teardrop shaped body and wings they can wrap around themselves to give

:15:54.:15:56.

them the ability to move rapidly through the air. At the moment I'm

:15:57.:16:02.

50 mph short, so I need to adapt I skydiving position to go faster. To

:16:03.:16:06.

make myself more aerodynamic I'm going to need some help. This Doctor

:16:07.:16:16.

is a lecturer of Aeronautics and advanced propulsion. Also a winged

:16:17.:16:20.

suit base jumper, leading the research in the UK in that area.

:16:21.:16:25.

What we need to do is look at the way we can make you more like that

:16:26.:16:29.

bird. We need to focus on how the airflow moves around your body, and

:16:30.:16:33.

therefore try to maximise your aerodynamic efficiency and velocity

:16:34.:16:38.

so we can try to achieve speeds in excess of 200 mph in a head down

:16:39.:16:43.

dive. I've been attached to a specially adapted chest rig in the

:16:44.:16:50.

wind tunnel allowing him to analyse the airflow in a range of body

:16:51.:16:55.

positions. We are now at 30 metres per second. Going to the body

:16:56.:16:57.

position. With wind speeds up to 70 mph, he

:16:58.:17:09.

can test exactly how much drag I'm producing. Using smoke and tassles

:17:10.:17:13.

it allows him to visualise how BM moves around my body, aching small

:17:14.:17:19.

but adjustments to increase my potential speed. -- how BM moves. A

:17:20.:17:24.

more downward looking position was better. -- how the air moves. Keep

:17:25.:17:31.

the shoulders in and legs close together. After 30 minutes of

:17:32.:17:36.

testing, Angeloni calculates my terminal velocity. We predict that

:17:37.:17:43.

based on the configurations you are in, you would hit a top speed of

:17:44.:17:48.

just under 190 mph. How does that sound? Doesn't sound good, actually.

:17:49.:17:56.

Puts me ten mph short of the magic 200. It might be short, but the

:17:57.:18:00.

thing to factor in is that this test was conducted at sea level

:18:01.:18:05.

conditions. When you jump at 15,000 feet the atmosphere will be more

:18:06.:18:09.

thin, so the air density will be lower. Because of the thinner air I

:18:10.:18:15.

should be able to go 20 or 30 mph quicker. It's time to put what I

:18:16.:18:20.

learned in the wind tunnel into practice. But getting the correct

:18:21.:18:24.

position in a controlled environment is one thing. It will be totally

:18:25.:18:27.

different up here because there is so much more to think about.

:18:28.:18:39.

On my first attempt, the techniques I've learned in the wind tunnel go

:18:40.:18:44.

completely out of the window and I do make a big mistake. Doesn't sound

:18:45.:18:55.

great, out of the aeroplane and making a huge mistake. Thank

:18:56.:18:58.

goodness it's a two Pata! We'll see if Andy beats

:18:59.:19:01.

the record later. Bobby, this is your second year

:19:02.:19:03.

of Let's Play Darts Jon, were you up for this? I was

:19:04.:19:15.

well up for it. If you're in a plane, and then you out of it,

:19:16.:19:19.

you've already made your mistake! I was well up for it. How do this lot

:19:20.:19:28.

compare to the last lot last year? They are all really competitive and

:19:29.:19:32.

really up for it. We have Greg Davies, Robbie Savage. I don't know

:19:33.:19:37.

how he got that name is about boy. He's such a gentle soul. I hope you

:19:38.:19:42.

are watching. He might beat me up next time he sees me. Let's talk

:19:43.:19:48.

about Jon's darts pedigree. Did you play a lot when you were young? I

:19:49.:19:53.

turned pro briefly between the ages of six and seven. But then the

:19:54.:19:58.

comedy took over. Did you have the Velcro board? Yeah, with the plastic

:19:59.:20:04.

tips. And I had proper board from when I was a big boy a couple of

:20:05.:20:11.

years ago. Getting that darts board in a garage and practising, that's

:20:12.:20:15.

what you should do, but has that been your world for the last couple

:20:16.:20:18.

of weeks? It would have been, but you've got too much work going on.

:20:19.:20:22.

You have to be in a position to clear your diary. I did a bit of

:20:23.:20:27.

practice. The more you take it seriously, the more disappointed you

:20:28.:20:32.

will be when, in my experience, your hopes are crushed. The thing to do

:20:33.:20:37.

is be relaxed and not have any dreams, and that's great advice for

:20:38.:20:45.

life. He did get nervous. I'm sure. He tells jokes in front of small

:20:46.:20:49.

audiences, and he doesn't get nervous, but he says when he plays

:20:50.:20:54.

darts gets very nervous. That's because you don't see the audience,

:20:55.:20:58.

what just play the dartboard in front of you. You must have got

:20:59.:21:02.

nervous back in the day. I'm nervous tonight. The more times you do it

:21:03.:21:07.

Romeu get used to it and you don't get nervous. The tournaments, the

:21:08.:21:10.

first round you might get butterflies, but when you start

:21:11.:21:15.

playing they go. You get used to doing it after so many years and you

:21:16.:21:20.

don't get nervous. Funny you telling me I was nervous because I face the

:21:21.:21:26.

audience usually, and I have my back to them that darts, but I seem to

:21:27.:21:29.

remember you said it was because I hadn't had enough to drink. You were

:21:30.:21:34.

nervous because you hadn't brought me a drink! Here's Jon at the end of

:21:35.:21:42.

the oche. Another thing I quite like about John, he likes to set himself

:21:43.:21:46.

goals while playing darts at home. Such as, I won't let myself go to

:21:47.:21:51.

the toilet until I hit treble 20. That's the reason I never played

:21:52.:21:58.

darts with Jon Richardson. APPLAUSE STUDIO: You use to play with your

:21:59.:22:04.

dad when you were younger, so you saw him do it and you use to have

:22:05.:22:08.

competitions. Yet, but we didn't used to film it. Great to see the

:22:09.:22:14.

first bit of footage ready camera has to zoom out to see where the

:22:15.:22:17.

dart went. A unique piece of humiliation. My dad was a very good

:22:18.:22:23.

player, and he had a rule where he wouldn't let me win, so if I beat

:22:24.:22:27.

him I would know I earned it. Did you beat him? No. Took a gamble on

:22:28.:22:36.

myself the steam, that I might never win. -- on myself a steam. I picked

:22:37.:22:44.

a set of darts up, didn't turn professional until the age of 30,

:22:45.:22:48.

and I went fishing to Ireland. Couldn't go fishing because the

:22:49.:22:52.

water was all rocky. Started playing in the pub with this blog. He asked

:22:53.:23:01.

me, how come you keep doing that? I said, what, and he said keep hitting

:23:02.:23:05.

the bull's-eye! He pushed me to play darts and I haven't looked back.

:23:06.:23:10.

Everybody has got some sort of talent, it's just finding it. Isn't

:23:11.:23:18.

it, Jon? I hope so! LAUGHTER APPLAUSE

:23:19.:23:25.

I tell you what, we are going to have a game of darts later. The

:23:26.:23:37.

three amateurs will throw and see how we do.

:23:38.:23:40.

The amatuers, myself, Matt and Jon - versus a blindfolded Bobby.

:23:41.:23:42.

Ring it's bad enough being able to see a dartboard, we'll see how I on

:23:43.:23:49.

later. One thing you need to be a great

:23:50.:23:50.

darts player is an aptitude for mental arithmetic -

:23:51.:23:53.

and having a great maths teacher So Iwan went to meet the British

:23:54.:23:56.

teacher who has just been nominated as one of the best in the world

:23:57.:24:00.

to get some extra lessons. When I was at school I was way more

:24:01.:24:09.

interested in track and field than trigonometry and fractions.

:24:10.:24:13.

Everybody thinks their teacher is the best or worst. Today I'm eating

:24:14.:24:18.

a teacher called Colin Hegarty, or Sir, as I should call him, who is

:24:19.:24:21.

really regarded as one of the best in the world. He's made the short

:24:22.:24:26.

list of a global teacher prize. It's kind of like the Nobel Prize, but

:24:27.:24:31.

for teachers. You're like the Justin Bieber of the maths world. You had

:24:32.:24:35.

more than 5.5 million hits on your YouTube videos on how to teach

:24:36.:24:39.

people maths, so you must be doing something right. Videos are useful

:24:40.:24:42.

for students who want to learn at home. It's great support for them.

:24:43.:24:47.

What I like about meeting you, you are passionate, but your classroom

:24:48.:24:51.

simplifies it and you have inspirational people on the wall. I

:24:52.:24:59.

always start lessons, before we talk about maths, we talk about

:25:00.:25:01.

confidence. Confidence is crucial for anything. If you don't believe

:25:02.:25:04.

you can do something you will stop trying to do it. Maths wasn't my

:25:05.:25:09.

favourite subject at school. It killed my family when I failed first

:25:10.:25:14.

time with a day because my mum was a maths teacher. No matter how

:25:15.:25:17.

difficult you think subbing is, you got to believe and you have to have

:25:18.:25:22.

that first belief it's worth trying. Would you know how to work out three

:25:23.:25:28.

fifths of a number? It's 27, so what's the number? I would say 27

:25:29.:25:35.

divided by three. Nine. Under pressure now. We want to divide it

:25:36.:25:44.

into five. Three of those is 27. One fifth is nine. Exactly, so how much

:25:45.:25:54.

is the whole number? Five nines, 45. I get a gold badge! Colin believes

:25:55.:25:59.

that maths makes you more employable, gets you better wages

:26:00.:26:03.

and keeps your mind agile. It's relevant everyone and everything,

:26:04.:26:07.

and not just in the classroom. At a restaurant with your friends when

:26:08.:26:10.

you are splitting the bill, the best way to do it is roughly do it in

:26:11.:26:16.

your head, that's the kind of things you need maths for, quick cents

:26:17.:26:20.

check decision is to inform everyday life. Does your brain work

:26:21.:26:24.

differently, do you see numbers everywhere? Sometimes the structure

:26:25.:26:28.

of something, like the playground features there, built in and

:26:29.:26:32.

elliptical shape, and that's because it's a strong shape to hold subbing

:26:33.:26:38.

up. You are an engineer as well? Maths is the mother of all is I

:26:39.:26:42.

insist, the language of computing and engineering and everything. I

:26:43.:26:47.

wouldn't look at it like that. I think we are slightly different. If

:26:48.:26:51.

I run an average of 18 mph, and I do 400 metres in 44 seconds, and you

:26:52.:26:55.

take a minute and a half... What is your fraction? I'd like to break 60

:26:56.:27:02.

seconds! Race Kuster I never thought I would ever say this. I've fallen

:27:03.:27:05.

in love with maths. -- race? Not fractions. Remember those? It

:27:06.:27:20.

was quite intimidating sitting and watching that because our guests

:27:21.:27:23.

were doing the sums all the way through.

:27:24.:27:38.

Bobby has gone into a few schools to try to teach them. If you can't

:27:39.:27:45.

enjoy it, there's no point. If you know what Shanghai is on a

:27:46.:27:49.

dartboard, single, treble, double, so if you have single one, treble

:27:50.:27:54.

one, 11, that would be sex. Then onto the twos -- that would be six.

:27:55.:28:04.

Then moving on, it's just your six times table. So they can play the

:28:05.:28:13.

game of darts... They can do their seven times table, two trebles and a

:28:14.:28:22.

single. Seven, 14, 21 and so on. I teach them the easy way, the

:28:23.:28:26.

beginning of maths. It's like telling the time. That's the hardest

:28:27.:28:30.

thing you can learn when you are a kid, telling the time. Especially

:28:31.:28:39.

American, like ten. 45... Quarter to ten? It's different. Time is maths,

:28:40.:28:47.

getting to work at nine o'clock, if you're not there you don't get paid.

:28:48.:28:55.

Unless you work on the one show and then it is PM. Get on maths, and get

:28:56.:29:01.

them grasping it and then they get interested. The caller was a young

:29:02.:29:10.

boy who came to me. Now he does it for a living. On eight out of ten

:29:11.:29:17.

Cats does countdown, I'm always impressed with Jon, that bit where

:29:18.:29:21.

you pick the numbers and Rachel presses the button, you're pretty

:29:22.:29:26.

good at that. How would you rate your maths? We edit that, I actually

:29:27.:29:35.

get three hours to do it. But I do like maths, did it at A-level and

:29:36.:29:38.

enjoyed it. One of the few things you do in life when you know when

:29:39.:29:42.

you are right or wrong. I did Spanish and French and it was all

:29:43.:29:48.

opinions and things, relationships are complex, and sometimes it's nice

:29:49.:29:52.

to say, it's exactly 17, well done, clever boy. Perfect sense. We were

:29:53.:30:01.

talking about your lovely coat early on, Bobby, a bobby-dazzler of a

:30:02.:30:07.

coat, and you say you spotted it in India. It was part of the The Real

:30:08.:30:12.

Marigold Hotel. A great documentary. Let's remind ourselves of your time

:30:13.:30:13.

out there. Can you see the cows? Amazing. How

:30:14.:30:28.

have you been coping without me? Taking your tablets? Yes. Bobby and

:30:29.:30:34.

Marie are staying on in India to look at property. I can't believe I

:30:35.:30:40.

am here. Are you going to miss it? I will eclipse, yeah. You stayed on,

:30:41.:30:49.

it then? I stayed for ten days afterwards. I was there for over a

:30:50.:30:55.

month. I really enjoyed it. Was the plan... I looked for property but I

:30:56.:31:00.

found that you can't buy hoppity in India. You have have an Indian on

:31:01.:31:05.

your deeds. -- you have to buy property. We are captain of our

:31:06.:31:10.

ownership in this country. But you can rent a place quite reasonably so

:31:11.:31:16.

you could live there on a pension. You can't live the style, if you

:31:17.:31:21.

want to live high style, if you like. You could live like the

:31:22.:31:28.

Indians on ?20 a month, probably. Normal living, 150, ?200 a month,

:31:29.:31:34.

you could do it. A lovely country. Honestly, don't ever run this

:31:35.:31:38.

country down. You go to India and the poor are poor. The rich are

:31:39.:31:43.

rich. There is nothing in between. And the animals are marvellous.

:31:44.:31:47.

There are no rubbish men. They dump their rubbish on the corner every

:31:48.:31:52.

morning. Out come the cows, they learn to open plastic bags and take

:31:53.:31:57.

what they want. Then can be pigs, then the wild dogs, then the kids

:31:58.:32:05.

take the plastic and begins out. By 11:30am, because all gone! They

:32:06.:32:12.

don't waste anything. Use throw it away, somebody will make something

:32:13.:32:16.

of it. And it doesn't smell, don't believe that India smells. I was

:32:17.:32:20.

there for over a month and it's not normal to me. You have to go there.

:32:21.:32:29.

Best it smelt normal to me. If you missed it, The Real Marigold Hotel

:32:30.:32:36.

is still available to look at on the eye player. Tomorrow sees the

:32:37.:32:40.

official return to the rails of one of the most legendary trains ever.

:32:41.:32:44.

In its heyday, the Flying Scotsman... It has been a difficult

:32:45.:32:52.

route back from neglect, but now Joe Crowley is pleased to report that

:32:53.:32:57.

the Scotsman is back in business. The Flying Scotsman, simple words

:32:58.:33:02.

that, for so many people, evoke the romance of rail from the steam age.

:33:03.:33:06.

This mighty engine was once the epitome of British engineering

:33:07.:33:12.

excellence. During the 1920s and 30s, locomotive for 472 became a

:33:13.:33:17.

pin-up of the steam age was given the name Flying Scotsman after the

:33:18.:33:22.

service it ran between London and Edinburgh. This engine became both

:33:23.:33:26.

the first run the route nonstop and the first to officially get 100 mph.

:33:27.:33:34.

After 40 years up and down the coast mainline, the Flying Scotsman came

:33:35.:33:39.

out of regular service in 1963. Since then, the locomotive has

:33:40.:33:43.

travelled the world and it has had a number of owners. Skip forward to

:33:44.:33:47.

2004 and at the National Railway Museum in York they had a campaign

:33:48.:33:51.

to restore it to its former glory. Now, after a decade of work, this

:33:52.:33:57.

powerful locomotive is ready to roll back the years and returned to

:33:58.:34:03.

Britain's mainlines. This man has worked on the locomotive's

:34:04.:34:07.

restoration. Ten years, millions of pounds, what have you done to it? We

:34:08.:34:13.

have done major jobs, including renewing the complete front end of

:34:14.:34:16.

the engine. We have done work on the wheels, the ball has been

:34:17.:34:22.

overhauled. -- the boiler. What is captured your engineering -- your

:34:23.:34:29.

imagination? To be involved in something going along at 75 mph,

:34:30.:34:33.

that is incredible with a steam engine. Can it still claim to be the

:34:34.:34:40.

Flying Scotsman? The main part of the engine, the frames, is the part

:34:41.:34:45.

which keeps the loco's identity. So it is still the Flying Scotsman.

:34:46.:34:49.

Lots of people don't see the behind-the-scenes things which

:34:50.:34:53.

happen with these. A lot of hard graft has gone on to getting this

:34:54.:34:58.

thing ready. Even now, we are up at daft o'clock in the morning to get

:34:59.:35:02.

it ready, to light the fire, to scrape the ash out from underneath.

:35:03.:35:08.

It is a filthy job. Tomorrow, the Flying Scotsman will return to the

:35:09.:35:11.

and run a one-off service from London to York. Ron Kennedy worked

:35:12.:35:18.

on the railways for nearly 50 years. Ron, you have done every job there

:35:19.:35:23.

is going, right? Yes, I started off as a cleaner then I went on to a

:35:24.:35:28.

fireman and then I drove it. We knew it as 60,000 103. Was it just a job,

:35:29.:35:37.

you were busy, or did you enjoy it and realise how special it was? I

:35:38.:35:43.

enjoyed it, all the enthusiasm used to come up. People would take it off

:35:44.:35:48.

in their books. Are you surprised by the interest still shown in it? No,

:35:49.:35:55.

I'm pleased because it is our history. Do you remember that engine

:35:56.:36:00.

in particular and have affection for it? Yes, especially when it was nice

:36:01.:36:06.

and clean. When you were a fireman, how hard was that? On a run to

:36:07.:36:11.

Newcastle, you could shuffle from between six tonnes to eight tonnes

:36:12.:36:17.

of coal and use a hell of a lot of water. Thirsty work! Tomorrow, when

:36:18.:36:26.

you have a chance to write on that train, to be part of the Flying

:36:27.:36:30.

Scotsman again, what will it be like? It will be fantastic, a dream

:36:31.:36:36.

come true. I will be going back again on a steam engine and I write

:36:37.:36:45.

to York. -- on a right to York. To catch them read born Flying Scotsman

:36:46.:36:49.

on its first journey tomorrow, here is where it is due to go. It leaves

:36:50.:36:54.

tin crossed -- King's Cross at 10:30am before arriving in York at

:36:55.:36:59.

lunchtime. The public can have a look at it at the National Railway

:37:00.:37:03.

Museum later on. Remember, stay behind the barriers, not on the

:37:04.:37:09.

tracks. Good advice. It is time for the darts match of the century. It

:37:10.:37:18.

is between a blindfolded, yes, blindfolded Bobby George, myself,

:37:19.:37:24.

Alex and Jon. Basically, we have three darts each and the highest

:37:25.:37:28.

total wins. It is over to the voice of the darts, Little Richard! It is

:37:29.:37:34.

time for our darts challenge here on The One Show. First up to the oche

:37:35.:37:51.

is Alex "The Arrow" Jones! How do you warm up for darts? I don't know.

:37:52.:37:59.

It is Alex to throw first. Game on. I am nervous. Come on. 24 is your

:38:00.:38:15.

total. Next up to the oche is Matt "Bullseye" Baker! Isn't it weird! 24

:38:16.:38:36.

is the score to beat. Hang on, let me concentrate. 20. In the lead by a

:38:37.:38:44.

point, it is Alex. Our third player to the board is the Lancashire

:38:45.:38:56.

hotshot, Jon Richardson! A bit high, this board. Five, one, and five. Our

:38:57.:39:15.

final player is Bobby "King of Bling" George! You have one shot to

:39:16.:39:24.

get your eye in and then we are going to blindfold you. I will be

:39:25.:39:31.

glad to hit the board! I don't have to move. You just want to go for it

:39:32.:39:41.

now? What is the score to beat? It is yours, Alex, 24.

:39:42.:39:53.

The winner is Bobby "King of Bling" George! Look what he has won! Bobby,

:39:54.:40:18.

you have won a speedboat. Brilliant. You have got to love that. You can

:40:19.:40:25.

see the next round of Let's Play Darts For Sport Relief this Sunday

:40:26.:40:30.

at 9pm on BBC Two. Now, when we last saw Andy, he was plummeting towards

:40:31.:40:34.

the ground while telling us he had made a huge mistake. Is the attempt

:40:35.:40:39.

to go faster than the fastest animal on the planet doomed?

:40:40.:40:44.

I am going to see if I can go as fast as a peregrine falcon. When

:40:45.:40:51.

chasing prey, they can reach over 200 mph. The maximum speed I have

:40:52.:40:55.

never reached while skydiving is just over 150. I have been to a wind

:40:56.:41:02.

tunnel to work out how to be more aerodynamic and now I have tried to

:41:03.:41:06.

put everything into practice, but my first attempt has proven to be more

:41:07.:41:10.

challenging than I thought. It didn't go quite to plan. The problem

:41:11.:41:15.

is that it is really unstable. You need your legs out quite far and

:41:16.:41:18.

your arms out quite far to get stability. I tried to do it like in

:41:19.:41:24.

a wind tunnel, but it is like trying to balance a pencil on its tip. You

:41:25.:41:30.

want to fall over all the time. When skydiving, I have a device attached

:41:31.:41:33.

which measures my velocity and altitude showing the speed of my

:41:34.:41:41.

descent. Michael is the current British skydiving champion who has

:41:42.:41:46.

been looking back at my data. Your initial acceleration is nice and

:41:47.:41:51.

smooth, and that is just natural acceleration from gravity. You have

:41:52.:41:55.

picked up a bit of speed and then started to struggle. Your top speed,

:41:56.:42:01.

you are approaching 180 mph. In the wind tunnel, we found that perfect

:42:02.:42:06.

position, tucked in and streamlined, but it just wasn't working in

:42:07.:42:11.

reality. A bit of drag is helpful for keeping you stable, like a

:42:12.:42:15.

shuttlecock. A shuttlecock can go very fast and it has got feathers on

:42:16.:42:20.

it to keep it stable. Your centre of gravity is somewhere around here and

:42:21.:42:23.

your legs will be like the feathers of a shuttlecock. Think about taking

:42:24.:42:30.

your legs a bit wider to start. As soon as I jump from 15,000 feet, I

:42:31.:42:36.

have got just ten seconds to get my body into a streamlined position and

:42:37.:42:39.

a further 20 seconds to get to maximum speed before I have to slow

:42:40.:42:44.

down to Paul reshoot. If I am going to pass, the parachute will not open

:42:45.:42:51.

properly and I will be in trouble. -- to pull the shoot. Over the next

:42:52.:42:58.

few hours, I'd try a few more jobs but I am yet to reach the

:42:59.:43:06.

peregrine's speed of 200 mph. You definitely have an improvement. A

:43:07.:43:10.

bit of trouble at the beginning, but you have a nice acceleration here,

:43:11.:43:14.

taking you above 300 miles per hour,. Just short of the 200 mark.

:43:15.:43:23.

To eke out that extra ten mph, Mike helps me with some more tips. On

:43:24.:43:28.

attempt number 18, it feels like it is all coming together.

:43:29.:43:41.

But have I done enough to reach the magic 200? Much, much better. It

:43:42.:43:52.

felt so much more stable. I managed to hold my head down all the way

:43:53.:43:57.

from exiting the plane at 15,000 feet down to putting the brakes on

:43:58.:44:00.

at 5000 feet. Let's find out how fast I was. Really nice

:44:01.:44:06.

acceleration. You get it nice and even all the way up to just under

:44:07.:44:12.

350 kilometres per hour, so we are looking at about 215 mph. Well done.

:44:13.:44:20.

Get in! It puts you up there with the fastest animal on the planet.

:44:21.:44:25.

When I started, I wanted to go as fast as a peregrine falcon and,

:44:26.:44:29.

thanks to experts, technology and a bit of help from gravity, I have

:44:30.:44:33.

managed to be up there with one of nature's marvels. Well done, 18

:44:34.:44:43.

attempts and he did it. Speaking of danger, we just want to point out,

:44:44.:44:46.

it's not a good idea to play blindfolded darts. It's not a good

:44:47.:44:53.

idea to play without the blindfold! This is yours, Jon. Fastest on

:44:54.:44:58.

water! Well done Andy - and Mike Dilger

:44:59.:45:00.

is here with some more examples of how humans have used physical

:45:01.:45:03.

enhancements to try and beat animals We will start with the strongest

:45:04.:45:12.

land mammal, the elephant. The African elephant, it's all down to

:45:13.:45:15.

that amazing trunk, a unique appendage in the animal world, no

:45:16.:45:20.

bones or cartilage, and it's calculated they can lift 350 kilos.

:45:21.:45:25.

With brute force they can use their trunk to do that. It's also so

:45:26.:45:30.

dextrous and deft they can use their trunk to pick up a pencil. Compare

:45:31.:45:34.

that to the human world record in weightlifting. A Russian in 2015 did

:45:35.:45:44.

the old clean and jerk, and he managed 246 kilos, pretty

:45:45.:45:49.

impressive. But the Americans have been developing an exoskeleton with

:45:50.:45:55.

the military, and you look like Robocop when you wear it and it

:45:56.:45:58.

inordinately increases your strength. If our Russian friend must

:45:59.:46:05.

aware that exoskeleton he could lift the equivalent of 4888 kilos. That's

:46:06.:46:15.

effectively like if you are lifting one kilo, it's the equivalent of

:46:16.:46:22.

lifting 17. Moving arm. -- moving on. We will move on to the kangaroo.

:46:23.:46:39.

This one is Australia 's straightforward record leap of 1.8

:46:40.:46:45.

metres. Down to these massive Achilles tendon is, like springy

:46:46.:46:53.

pogo sticks. In 2013 a gentleman was wearing bionic stilts, like the ones

:46:54.:46:58.

used in the Paralympics, and they provided an enormous amount of

:46:59.:47:04.

height. 2.76 metres, straight over. They work like spring levers. As he

:47:05.:47:10.

jumps down they store the energy as he goes up and it releases in terms

:47:11.:47:14.

of power to enable him to go higher, way higher than the red kangaroo.

:47:15.:47:20.

Alex isn't listening to a word I'm saying! Back to darts, which animal

:47:21.:47:30.

would be great on a darts team? I would choose the leopard slug. They

:47:31.:47:40.

have an amazing mating ceremony. They can fire love darts to each

:47:41.:47:45.

other when mating. Where do you get them from? It's part of the mating

:47:46.:47:53.

ritual, and they are pretty accurate. They would be in the

:47:54.:47:58.

bull's-eye, 180. Better than bull's-eye Baker, that's the shore.

:47:59.:48:04.

It wasn't meant to go like that. -- that's for sure. Talking nicknames

:48:05.:48:12.

tonight, we asked for sporting nicknames. Bobby, do you have a

:48:13.:48:16.

favourite darts nickname of all the competitors out there? Mine. That

This is a woman! Is that you? No, it's not. She's a junior bowling

makes when she bowls. Do you have one in real life, Jon? I have quite

On Friday night, on BBC 4, you - the great British public -

:50:03.:50:05.

will be given the responsibility of choosing a song that hopefully

:50:06.:50:08.

will win this year's Eurovision Song Contest for the UK.

:50:09.:50:11.

Hopefully all the performers can take some inspiration from our first

:50:12.:50:16.

winner - Sandie Shaw in 1967 - who went from humble beginnings

:50:17.:50:26.

We got there in the end. # I wonder if one day that

:50:27.:50:40.

# You will say that you care # If you say that you love me madly

:50:41.:50:45.

# Arrow gladly be their # Like a Puppet On A String #.

:50:46.:50:54.

That's not my house! Wow, look at the front bit. My mum would have

:50:55.:51:00.

loved that. She always wanted a porch. It's been 50 years since I've

:51:01.:51:09.

been in this place. And it's a bit nerve wracking. My stomach is

:51:10.:51:17.

churning a bit. Here is the front room. Oh, yes, cosy and warm. Moving

:51:18.:51:27.

into this house was a big deal for my parents. They had saved up for so

:51:28.:51:34.

long to buy it. My dad had worked as a welder and my mum always worked in

an office. The gramophone was here and I used to sit here every Sunday

afternoon listening to Alan Freeman. The guy next door used to wear

:51:50.:51:54.

leathers and had a motorbike. He was a lot older than me and he had big

:51:55.:52:00.

blue eyes and his hair slicked back. He used to let me go in and listen

:52:01.:52:04.

to his rock and roll records, like Gene Vincent. This is the room where

:52:05.:52:17.

I went on strike. I decided in my early teens to put away all the

:52:18.:52:22.

girly things, painted everything white, nothing pink or frilly, and

:52:23.:52:30.

that started me off thinking, girls can do something different. Why are

:52:31.:52:38.

we being limited? Why are there only boybands and why aren't any girls

:52:39.:52:44.

singing? It was the germ of an idea. Down at the dance hall I would ask

:52:45.:52:48.

the bands if I could sing with them and that's where I trained. This is

my wonderful old school, Robert Clack. This is my maths class. I

will go in there now. Hello. Long time no see. Yes, I remember you

really well. I wonder if you remember my class. You were in class

One time there was a talent contest here and I came second. However, a

:54:03.:54:07.

guy said, my uncle is in show business. You should go up to London

:54:08.:54:13.

to meet him. My mum and dad didn't know until I suddenly announced I

had been discovered. They were totally shocked at Alessandro Nesta.

-- at our sander. -- our Sandra. It was because I knew

:54:20.:54:35.

where I came from, and it was a reminder of the rags to riches,

:54:36.:54:41.

Cinderella story. I don't think I have essentially changed that much.

:54:42.:54:45.

I still come from the same place and singing from the same hymn book.

That's what I've learned from this journey.
