# I'm in the corner watching you kissing

# And I'm right over here # Why don't you see me?

# And I'm giving it my all # But I'm not the guy you're taking

home # And I keep dancing on my own... #.

APPLAUSE What a voice!

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Gyles Brandreth.

That was Calum Scott, with the song that made him

an overnight star: Dancing On My Own.

He'll be performing his brand new track for us later, pop pickers.

Also tonight, we'll be meeting this time travelling family

who've been Back in Time for Brixton.

And tonight's guest is no stranger to a sing-song.

As well as helping to discover tonight's musical guest,

he's also found a new musical way to celebrate his love of football.

The primadonnas return with their new album - Chance From The

Terraces. # Boring, boring Arsenal... #.

And a tribute to a leading goal-scorer.

Hello, David. That was a bit too realistic. People will be devastated

you are not releasing a CD for Christmas. I look good in that

getup. The three tenors, we have had it with them. We could have you and

two others. Who would they be? The two of you. I can't see it, but we

will chat later! The people of Luton are not looking as chipper as the

people of Hull. The people of Luton -- the town of Luton has been put at

the bottom of the UK's cultural index. We have gone to find out what

is happening. I have come to let the people who

live here have their say. What do you think Luton is famous for?

Unfortunately, it had a negative reputation. But I think we still

have a great heritage, with the history of hat making. We have an

arts centre, various museums. It is multicultural, different cultures

live here. This may not be a traditional heritage railway

station, but it has loads to offer. It has links to Brighton, Bedford,

to Luton airport. And it boasts two cafes. It is not just great sites I

will check in on, I will put up some plucks to the people from Luton who

had made a contribution to the town. You may have noticed it is orange,

and that is in tribute to this lot. Looking good right there. How about

the winner of the art world's most prestigious award. Elizabeth Price,

Wilairot be 2012 Turner Prize. She grew up in Luton and went to the

local high school. That is something to be proud of. What a masterpiece.

The next person from Luton is a local lad. I am assured wherever

leaves his hat... # That's my home... Paul Young

topped the charts with number one singles and albums. Sport can be

cultural too. Springing up next, having made 50 Test match

appearances for England, it is Monty Panesar. These charts and league

tables tell what others think of Luton, but what do the town's people

think about coming bottom. Are you proud to come from Luton? It has

gone downhill. There is nobody happy, nobody smiling. Both of you

are. You could be ambassadors. I have lived here all my life. We have

a good football team, we have one might be cup. What more do you

want?, give us a try. Do you think Luton deserves its reputation? What

can you do as a council to change people's perceptions? We have an

exciting project going on in our cultural quarter which takes the hat

factories and turns them into venues where you can see the history of the

town. So next year you will be off the bottom of the table? I am

hopeful yes. It is clear that heritage is not just about the past.

It is also about a community with an identity they can be proud of. It is

a love of the common people. And everybody knows that one of the

best things to come out of Luton is Nadiya. We have got a film from

Arabic later on. We love Luton and David. I have just seen the first of

your new series, Walliams and Friend. Have you run out of friends?

Just one friend. One friend each week and tonight it is Jack

Whitehall. Tonight at 9:30pm it is Jack Whitehall. We have Hugh

Bonneville, Meera Syal. Proper actors. We know Jack Whitehall as a

comedian, but he turns out to be a wonderful character actor too. Yes,

and we had so much fun working together. He did say at one point, I

used to love Little Britain when I was at school. How old am I? And how

young are you? And then I got to work with one of my heroes, Harry

Enfield, who was a huge influence. We were only with each person per

week, so just at the point where you might be getting sick of them, they

are gone and someone else comes in. Perfect. I love Jack in your posh

Kyle. Let's have a look. So, Gideon, tell us your heartbreaking story.

And if you could cry, we would love it. Every year since I was a

toddler, mummy and daddy had taken me on holiday to Val Bizet. Only

this year, they have said they want to go on their own. And how old are

you, little fella? 28th. APPLAUSE

What I love, watching that completely brilliant sketch, was

that next on came his parents, and I realised immediately that the

actress playing Jack's mum is actually his mum. Hillary, yes. Did

he have any idea? Yes, his mum has done a lot of work over the years

and he suggested she might be in the show. It was a part that only she

was really qualified to play. She is very glamorous. And very good. Years

brilliant. He had me laughing the whole time. Which is difficult. Yes,

because when you are a comedian, you are grumpy and you are often

resentful about the people being funny, willing them not to be funny.

We had so much fun. This is your time of year, because I studied a

best seller list of books, hoping I might appear, though I don't seem to

be in it at the moment, because David Walliams is in it week after

week, three weeks running for your latest children's book. What's it

called? The midnight gang, which is about a group of kids who are

yearning for adventure, so they help each other act out these dreams they

have. One kid wants to go to the North Pole, and they recreate it all

in the hospital. You don't get many children's box set in a hospital. I

couldn't think of one. People call you the new Roald Dahl but you seem

much jollier than he was. He was a little alarming. Do you need to get

into a darker side of yourself to write the stories? No, I probably

need to get into a lighter side! Unita look back to when you were a

kid, what would have made you laugh, what would have scared you. I think,

if I were ten or 12, would I enjoy this? I love doing it. You're only

limits are your imagination. There is blank paper and it is up to you

to fill it. What are you doing this we? Our weekends are looking

tedious. You, however, have a glamorous weekend coming up. Who

will you be hanging out with? Just then Shirley Bassey. We have been

rehearsing because we're doing a Christmas special together. -- Dame

Shirley Bassey. I have been working with her for the last couple of

weeks and it will be a big Christmas special, celebrating her career.

Unbelievably, she will be 80 in January. I thought it was brilliant

when you were last with her. We were on the Graham Norton Show together.

The time before that. # Goldfinger... All of the songs,

darling. Thunderball, you didn't do that. You do these things and you

never think you will meet the people one day, and then you hope they

haven't seen it. That was brilliant. That was David and his long-time

collaborator, Matt Lucas, who took their first steps onto the comedy

circuit in the early 90s. Meera Syal, Sanjeev Bhaskar and the

presenter of our necks, Richard Blackwood, all owe their success to

one particular show, The Real McCoy. In May 1991, a new comedy show was

broadcast that would change the face of comedy on British television and

launch the careers of a new generation of actors and comedians,

including me. Kids nowadays are getting away with things that we

could never have. The yellow blazer. Yellow... The Real McCoy was a mix

of sketches and stand up, and it was the first show of its kind to

feature an all black and Asian cast. What exactly do you mean by April

fool? It was an instant hit and turned actors like Meera Syal and

Felix Testa into household names. -- Felix Dexter. 20 years since the

last show was broadcast, how much impact did it have? Driving this

series was a team of talented actors and writers, including cast members

Curtis Walker and Terry Jervis,... That was your catchphrase. That

really turned the tide. We thought, hold on a minute, there is a group

of young, British black people. By bringing together a group of young

comedians on the circuit, The Real McCoy was born, and it quickly

became apparent that the show had a universal appeal. I had white people

telling me it was a funny show. We broke the barriers that Asian comedy

as well, because Goodness Gracious Me and others would never have come.

In our society still coming to terms with multiculturalism, the tumour

was sometimes close to the bone, with one scene causing particular

controversy. When she turned around and the baby was black... And they

say, that's a good name for it will stop that was our reality - the

National front, the BNP, Teddy boys. What do you want? We want to join

the BNP. Five seasons and then that was it. Yellow --, in Britain, the

black British experience and black British culture hasn't had that

journey that other cultures have had. It is so important. When I look

back about my experience on The Real McCoy all those years back, to give

people of colour, black and Asian, the underrated, a vehicle to be seen

and to come through was so influential and important, and very

much needed. With this in mind, the one show has arranged for students

from the National youth Theatre to re-enact a sketch that shows The

Real McCoy at its best, satirising and celebrating the diversity of

British culture. Him's round the corner. Tell him to

come in. Stop messing us about. You said nothing about eating in. I said

that to the sister. She is not your sister, you are talking to a bigger

man. I don't think there is enough of comedy sketches that represent

ethnic community like The Real McCoy. I loved performing that. So

after 20 year since the last episode of The Real McCoy was aired on

British TV. The question is have we progressed, and my answer

unfortunately is no. We are black, British, we were born here, it is

time now we are viewed as British, black humour is humour, black

entertainers are entertainers, until we see that we have a long way to

go. Thank you Richard. It is time for to

us go back in time ourselves because we are joined by the Irwin family.

APPLAUSE Look, we have a whole new set. Look,

there is crochet to o go behind you. Doesn't that look good? These guys

are the stars of a wonderful series, going Back in Time For Brixton, the

idea is they literally go back in time to the 50, and they live it,

they eat it, they dress as it, they sleep it, they work it, and then

gradually, they move through time. We follow you and it is completely

charm, it is dark at times, from literally the late 40s. It starteds

like that, it is the beginning it is 1948 and one of the first Caribbean

immigrants landed on British shore, how did gloum and dad find that and

what was the most shocking thing, you had read about it, you are the

first generation to settle here, but what did you find most surprising

maybe about that time I think for me, and for the entire family, was

learning that upon invitation we would then set down into a hole,

bunker, to live in, that was shocking. And horrendous, so, for

me, out of the entire experience, that was like a wow. Your dad was a

bus conductor, wasn't he, in the '50s, I remember the '50s, lots of

Caribbean bus conducts fors and my sister was a nurse, lots of

Caribbean nurse, did you remember that period? Absolutely, one of the

things my father would do was take me on the bus when he was doing his

Ruth. Another shocking thing was one of the first black bus conductorers

he said when he was giving back change people would just, put it

beside him. So they didn't want to touch him, but, people like himself

made it easier for my father when he came in the 60, so I applaud Donald

and the contributions he made. Absolutely. Lots of difficult

revelations for you in the first episode, but then things spark up a

bit in the second episode. You move into the late 70s and the 80s and

you four look to be having a ball, didn't you, what was the best thing

maybe Tiana that you discovered, what was the most fun thing? I think

that the best thing was the party, actually, we had a few parties

during the '70s and 80s and they were really having everyone

together, being with my family and things like that, it was a great

experience. Yes, and speaking of music, it was funny, to see you

struggling with a bit of 80s technology. Have a look at this.

This way. That is the wrong way. Done it. Shall I just press record

then? Right. That's not it. I don't know how do this. You are supposed

to use... Shall we call mummy. Mum, none of us know how to get it to

record. It is in the wrong way. Take it off.

# I've been wanting you wanting you... #

APPLAUSE It is how you used to tape the top

40 back in the day, did you used to do that. My sister did that. I don't

know what she did with it. That is when I picked up that phrase pop

pickers. I still listen to my cassettings. As it should be. I

would have thought the children remember most the revelation of what

their dad was up to in the '90s, because I remember him, he was a

role model for people like me, what was it? The first gladiator

champion. Oh look at you! That is fantastic. I bet you had loads of

fun looking up the footage of that. You can see the final episode of

Back in Time For Brixton on Monday 9.00 on BBC Two. Romane we gave you

a copy of David's book midnight gang. You have read a bit. In three

words, how would you sum it up for us. Here we go. No pressure.

Couldn't put it down. Couldn't put it down. Four words! You can't get

better than that. We promised you we would hear from Luton's finest, here

she is, it is Nadiya. Incredible spice man Cyrus is one of

Britain's leading chefs. His dishes are inspired by the cuisine of his

ancestors Parses. They have always had a bit of fruit in their flavour,

they like fresh flavour, they don't like heavy rich deep flavours.

Yummy. Nice? The food is lighter, so 1400 years now, the cooking

definitely takes in more Indian roots.

Cyrus has bon an lifelong mission to spread these Parsee flavours and not

only as a TV chef. Still hands on in his restaurants he

has been awarded an MBE and an OBE for his services to the industry, in

educating the next generation of cook, so what fuels his relentless

schedule? Hopefully I will find out what a breakfast a superchef goes to

work on. Cyrus won't be cooking this morning. It is his wife and business

partner. Most of the males we -- meals we eat are breakfast. Like to

cook, he is simple to please. What is absolutely like a ritual in the

house is breakfast, we have a typical scrambled egg we do. It is

awesome. Let's get cracking. My mum does French toast. Similar to

what you are doing, mixed in with the eggs and dips her bread in She

prepared the chilli, coriander and garlic. If even says garlic for

breakfast is wrong, they need to be here and smell it. That is a lovely

smell. I don't know how somebody cannot eat garlic. Eggs? Unlike my

scrambled eggs these take a lot of stirring giving a creamier texture,

this is unusual. It is like if you were making a sauce, how you would

stir a sauce, I have never cooked eggs like this. I will never move

from here, once it starts setting it is difficult. This is the last

thing. The last thing that come, if they are not on the dining table I

scream. Fortunately Cyrus and her son are

ready and waiting at the table. There you go. The eggs are served up

with thin baked buttery toast. I have never eaten scrambled eggs like

this. I yearn for it. It tasted better when she cooks, I will not

cook them. You can taste the garlic, the chilli and you can taste the

coriander and it is not overwhelming, it is a perfect

breakfast. Sir ruse's cuisine can come as a surprise to many fans of

Indian food. Even to those from India. India is so vast, they

themselves forget there is is a lot more to Indian than their particular

cuisine. 20 economy sins in one country, somebody from the north

will not like the food from the south. His dishes have won over

diners in very high places, though cooking for VIPs brings its own

complications. If you are cook foger a US President, you will have 50

people hanging round you, you are so scared because you are walking under

constant surveillance, the one plate of food, took ten minutes to

dispense. Despite the prestige down the year,

Cyrus still works long hours in his restaurants. So what keeps him

motivated Happy customer, that is the greatest reward. That may bes

you happy. The moment you walk into a restaurant and you see these faces

you know for so many years, gives you the sense we have achieved

something. You can't beat that. Now that dish looked lovely. For me it

would have to be a brunch. Garlic for breakfast now. Ooh. Is it? Just

a moment, Callum Scott will play his brand-new single for us. Amazing

voice David. I am so proud, because the first time I met Callum was on

Britain's Got Talent. I said at the time I thought he would be a future

star because he was so much a cut above everyone else and it is

fantastic to see him. You are a genuine pop picker, is that a burden

to be sitting in judgment? To, well... To be judging others. It is

to judge people on things you are no good at. I can't sing or dance, I

look to Sir moon who has no discernible talent and he can pass

judgment on others so anyone can. Quite right!

That's all for tonight - thanks so much to David.

Walliams and Friend starts tonight, at 9.30pm on BBC One.

Here next week we've got Busted, Nicole Scherzinger, Tim Peake,

Rufus Sewell, Paul O'Grady and Victoria Coren-Mitchell.

Playing us out with his new song Rhythm Inside -

which is out today - it's Calum Scott!

# I'm static and I can't move my feet

# From the moment that you stood next to me

# Feeling manic, I forgot how to speak

# And there's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

# In this moment in time, no, I won't stop now

# It feels like I can be the one for your love

# It feels like I can be the one for your love

# Feels like magic, I don't know if this is real

# And my feet don't even wanna touch the ground

# I feel the panic of my world turned upside down

# There's a rhythm inside that I can't slow down

# In this moment in time, no, I won't stop now

# It feels like I can be the one for your love

# It feels like I can be the one for your love

# Oh, come, show me what you're feeling

# APPLAUSE
