Welcome to all your Friday One Show with Alex Jones. Alex celebrating | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
New Year for last year in Wales tomorrow because you were in New | :00:26. | :00:32. | |
Zealand for New Year last year, this year. And Chris Evans. Can you | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
guess who our guest tonight is from his photo that was taken 40 years | :00:36. | :00:45. | |
ago? Any ideas? Two more clues. He won the nation's hearts in Strictly. | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
He was fired out of a cannon. know who it is. Of course you do. | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
Now he has to deal with a tin man with no heart at all. It's the new | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
:01:06. | :01:18. | ||
Wizard of Oz, Russell Grant He is on fire! Lovely to see you. | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
It is so nice to have you here. didn't even know I had to do a | :01:24. | :01:32. | |
samba. Flavia is watching from her dressing room at the Aldwych. The | :01:32. | :01:39. | |
King And I, Congress Theatre in Eastbourne. I played the Prince. | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
You're almost as Hanson there as you are receiving. And you're | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
looking a bit Wizard of Oz yourself. We'll be talking about the Wizard | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
of Oz later. First, we wanted to clear up some rumours. The Russell | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
rumour mill. You go first. Will you be in Eurovision 2012? If so, for | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
us or for Malta? Now I'm going to be appearing in the Wizard of Oz | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
around the same time, the answer is no to both. But it is true that | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Malta did approached me and Flavia. I said the nearest I got to Malta | :02:16. | :02:26. | |
:02:26. | :02:27. | ||
was eating a lot of Maltese us on The Emerald City tide. I dressed to | :02:27. | :02:33. | |
kill! Are you going to be starring in an opera at the end of the year? | :02:33. | :02:41. | |
Before I took the Wizard of Oz, the very nice people from Raymond Abbey | :02:41. | :02:44. | |
rang me up and offered me this wonderful role as Joseph Porter in | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
HMS pinafore. It is an operetta, Gilbert and Sullivan. It's one of | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
my favourites. I accepted it. The very nice people from Andrew Lloyd | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
Webber's office said, you signed that contract so you can do HMS | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
Pinafore, which I'm doing at the Barnet -- Barbican, Birmingham and | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
Manchester, as well as the Wizard of Oz. Finally, did you use | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
hypnosis to get you through Strictly? No. Well, in a kind of | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
way. You know when my knee went, when we did the samba. For the | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
foxtrots something else went and I nearly had to leave the show. This | :03:27. | :03:33. | |
very nice man rang up and said, what are you worried about? I was | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
worried in the middle of a dance that money was going to go. He was | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
brought in to get my mind focused on the dance and not paranoid that | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
my knee was going to go. And we got through better the devil you know | :03:44. | :03:54. | |
:03:54. | :03:56. | ||
the week after. Kylie herself was We have got another rumour but we | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
will ask later on. You are a big star. With all due respect, not the | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
biggest star on our show tonight. No offence, but this evening we are | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
in the presence of greatness. We are joined by a lady who's been | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
working as an extra in film and TV for 40 years, as have many people, | :04:14. | :04:23. | |
but not still when they are 100 years old, and she is 100 today. | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
don't think she's ever had the credit she really deserves. Lottie | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
Goodwin began her career at the ripe old age of 60. Here she is | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
arriving earlier. We gave her the well deserved red carpet treatment. | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
The paparazzi were out in force, too. Rightly so. She's got our very | :04:42. | :04:49. | |
best a dressing room and props man Dale is at her beck and call. | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
was in their quite some time! is hilarious! We will celebrate | :04:58. | :05:08. | |
:05:08. | :05:10. | ||
Lottie's career and to 100th That has tickled Russell. It is six | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
months until the Olympics, and the much awaited opening ceremony. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Today, artistic director Danny Boyle dropped a few hints as to | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
what we can expect. The theme is Isles of Wonder. Europe's largest | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
bell will be rung in the stadium, and there is a sequence dedicated | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
to the NHS. We sent Alex Riley to try and fill the gaps. Welcome to | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
my Olympics 2012 opening ceremony ideas board. Traditionally the | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
opening ceremony is the host country's way of welcoming the | :05:47. | :05:56. | |
world using its unique mix of music, dance and theatre. How will Danny | :05:56. | :06:03. | |
capture the true essence of Britain? OK, opening ceremony needs | :06:03. | :06:08. | |
to be fun and reflect British culture. What do we like doing? | :06:08. | :06:15. | |
Queueing. OK. I know, it's a knockout. We've got students | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
dressed as kebabs, being chased around the stadium by a giant Simon | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
Cowell. Drinking a cup of tea. He could be drinking a cup of tea! | :06:27. | :06:34. | |
Let's look what we've got. I think it probably needs a bit more work. | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
God Save the Queen! We did learn today that Danny has commissioned | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
the biggest Bell in Europe, which will hang at one end of the stadium | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
and sound at the opening of the Games. I think we've found the man | :06:45. | :06:55. | |
to ring it. Tony, hello. Good morning. How did you manage to get | :06:55. | :07:00. | |
yourself involved in the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
D Anthony, congratulations. We are pleased to inform you that you have | :07:05. | :07:11. | |
been successful in your edition to become the ceremony's volunteer | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
performer. What are you going to be shouting at the opening ceremony? | :07:16. | :07:26. | |
:07:26. | :07:28. | ||
can't tell you that. Willett When I got to the auditions they | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
said, right, drop your bell, we are dancing. Can you show me some of | :07:33. | :07:43. | |
:07:43. | :07:47. | ||
If you ask me, Tony could carry off the whole shebang! In the running | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
to be part of the 15,000 strong cast for the ceremonies, dance | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
teacher Michel car. Nice to me too. Is this actually a rehearsal for | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games? I wish! It's just nice to be | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
involved and the honouring our country. It's the chance of a | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
lifetime. What did you do at the audition? I can't tell you the | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
exact move but I can give you a rough idea and you could have a go | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
at doing a slide, side, lunch. you have to pretend to be throwing | :08:19. | :08:26. | |
a javelin or the Hama? Unfortunately not. We are going to | :08:26. | :08:36. | |
:08:36. | :08:36. | ||
Doing that in front of a billion people would be amazing. Whilst the | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
opening ceremony's spectacular event remains a mystery, we know | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
that a cauldron itself is being let. If you are looking for an idea to | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
top the Chinese, here is that what you are looking for. With just six | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
months to go from today, let us therefore brace ourselves so the | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
:09:09. | :09:23. | ||
world shall see that this Britain So exciting! It might not happen | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
quite like that, though. With the clock ticking, the pressure is | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
mounting for our British hopefuls yet to qualify but Team GB. We have | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
three of them with us this evening. The Lembit Joe Joe -- judo hope all, | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
Colin Oates is here. Does this prospect Lawrence or Kuyt. -- | :09:44. | :09:54. | |

Laurence Okoye. Where is Georgina Come over, Georgina. Trying to kill | :09:59. | :10:06. | |
each at that and then they shake hands. Welcome. Are you in good | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
shape going into the qualifications? Excellent shape. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
The shape of my life. You've come out of retirement after nine years. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
That's right. I was inspired by the fact that London is going to host | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
the Olympics. Having had two children, I couldn't resist picking | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
up my sword and getting back up there. Would you have done it had | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
the Olympics not been in London? don't think so. There is just so | :10:31. | :10:37. | |
much energy since the announcement, it's been amazing. Who are your | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
kids? Lawrence, you were a rugby player. Yes, I played rugby | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
throughout my school career and finished in 2010. You played for | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
London Irish? Yes, Academy rugby for London Irish and before that I | :10:57. | :11:04. | |
played for London Wasps. How did you and the discus meet up? One of | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
my friends through Relief are one year. I asked him how he did it. He | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
gave me his coach's number. I joined up with his coach, and | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
within six weeks of that day I've thrown the second furthest in the | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
world for my age group. We thought it was probably a good idea to keep | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
going. How gutted were all the kids that had been doing it for years? | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
That is so unfair! You should ask my friend, he introduced me to his | :11:31. | :11:37. | |
coach. He was British number one Under 20s. Not your friend any | :11:37. | :11:43. | |
more! And we've got Colin, judo is your sport. Youths built what they | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
call a dojo. I had no idea what that was. Did you get planning | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
permission for it? We did get planning permission to say it was | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
made out of wood. It's basically a shed. We call it the cabin. It does | :11:57. | :12:02. | |
look a bit like a shed. Do you do anything else in your dojo other | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
than judo? No, it's been purpose- built but judo. It's a bit worn now | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
because I travel to Dartford now, but we spend a good five years | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
there, me and my brother. My dad is my coach. We spend a lot of money | :12:21. | :12:27. | |
on the dojo. None of you are in the Olympics as we speak. Out of 10, | :12:27. | :12:35. | |
what are your chances? Maybe seven or eight. I feel pretty good. | :12:35. | :12:44. | |
feel pretty good, too! I'd say 6-7. When no other qualification days? | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
For us, we've got to throw away qualification distance. You've just | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
got to go up to the blokes and say, I'm here for the Olympics. They | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
will say fine, off you go! confirmed date is in April. Good | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
luck to all of you. It is Foody Friday. Jay has been to meet the | :13:08. | :13:14. | |
people who make sure the recipes we rely on to great culinary delights | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
rather than cooking disasters. Let's see how he got on. We bought | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
7.5 million food magazines last year and spent �18 million on | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
cookbooks in December alone. But behind every new dish is a long | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
line of people dedicated to making it work for you, because the | :13:30. | :13:37. | |
starting point for any meal is a cast-iron recipe. And that is | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
something olive magazine's Janine Ratcliffe knows all about. How many | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
times do you have to test a recipe? At least three. I would develop a | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
recipe at home. It then comes into the test kitchen and we give it a | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
run through. Then it goes on to the photo-shoot and gets tested again | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
by the home economists. Getting the recipe right is essential. It is | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
all too easy to be left with egg on your face. A certain Michelin- | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
starred chef, you know who you are, published a recipe for a turkey | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
stuffing which required six kilograms of spinach. A bemused | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
editor subsequently checked it and found it was enough to fill his | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
Bridge, as well as the garden shed. The end result was six foot of | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
stuffing that weighed more than the turkey. To avoid this misdemeanour, | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
cook books and good magazine's test their recipes in advance. This | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
kitchen tests 2000 recipes a year. It is the job of this lady, a | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
professional Testa, to make sure that everything goes right. We are | :14:39. | :14:43. | |
testing a recipe for our butterscotch loaf. We've decided we | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
wanted to change the dimensions slightly and make it into smaller | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
low farce. Can I have a go? I'm not known as much of a baker. It seemed | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
simple enough. All I've got to do is follow the recipe without making | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
any schoolboy errors. I just reach for my wooden-spoon. While I was | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
doing that, I immediately noticed that Cassie was reaching for her | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
whisk. Maybe the recipe should mention that. How did you get into | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
this? I decided to do a cookery course and trained as a chef. Then | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
I got a job working as a tester for the magazine. Does anything ever go | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
wrong? We haven't had any major disasters so far. We will see about | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
that! Time to spoon out the mixture. How many cakes is this recipe | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
supposed to make? Cassie appears to have been a better to fill twirled | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
cake tins, whereas I am the have enough for 11. Oh, dear. Straight | :15:43. | :15:53. | |
:15:53. | :15:56. | ||
With them in the oven, it is time to prepare the toffee sauce. | :15:56. | :16:04. | |
have not burnt it? No! Just checking. It looks like the timings | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
are not quite right. So it is back in the oven a bit longer, which | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
gives me a chance to ask her expert opinion about a recipe I have | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
developed. Straight off, I would include a preparation time and | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
cooking time at the top. The ingredients, I would put them in | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
order of how you are going to use them. Have you done that? Good | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
question. I have no idea. It helps if you can work down the list then | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
pick them up as you go. basically, my recipe is not up to | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
standard and you would not have it in the magazine. Absolutely not. | :16:41. | :16:46. | |
Thank you very much! Well, the low tsar finally done, seven minutes | :16:46. | :16:51. | |
more than in the original recipe. All this is left is a bit of | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
drizzling before the tasting. The question is, our mind as good as | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
Cassie's? I think yours is a lighter sponge. That is what I am | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
meant to think. Of course. A lot of people think cooking can be | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
complicated and it can be, but if you have a good recipe tested by a | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
really good professionals, success is almost guaranteed. I rather like | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
these. We all rather like them, and your kids loved them. I did not | :17:26. | :17:30. | |
make these, but I had to make some last weekend for my 12-year-old | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
because I brought some back from the shoot and he loved them so much | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
he said, make more. It is a cross between a fairy cake and a Mars bar. | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
And a chocolate Eclair. These are a big hit. You have some very old | :17:46. | :17:56. | |
:17:56. | :17:56. | ||
recipes. This is from a book dating from the 14th century. It was | :17:56. | :18:00. | |
written at the end of the 14th century by the master cooks for | :18:00. | :18:08. | |
Richard II. It was written on an old scroll in very old English. We | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
have made up some of these recipes. Mrs Salmon with the crackers. You | :18:15. | :18:25. | |
:18:25. | :18:30. | ||
have a recipe. Do you want to read it out? Gone! Recipe one, take | :18:30. | :18:40. | |
almonds, UN blanched, takes salmon and sea dipped in water. Do you get | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
the idea? Take out the bones and grind it in a small thing. They | :18:46. | :18:52. | |
were very loose on quantities. quantities at all. You poached the | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
salmon in water, you put in ground almonds and spices, a mixture of | :19:00. | :19:06. | |
Mace... I don't know if I could eat that! It is very sweet. Very | :19:06. | :19:12. | |
peppery. It is a robust taste, medieval. A little later than that, | :19:12. | :19:21. | |
but anyway. It has that tang. actually really nice. The other one | :19:21. | :19:29. | |
is on toast, a reduction of white wine, honey and various spices. | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
might as well have a go. You have given us sweet, savoury and BECTU | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
suite with a bit of savoury. Sugar was a mark of wealth. If you were | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
rich, and he wanted to prove it, you gave your guests loads of sugar | :19:43. | :19:47. | |
because you could afford it. The Chris Evans of their day would have | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
been throwing sugar at their guests. I would be applying to the bank | :19:51. | :19:56. | |
manager for more sugar. This was by royal appointment. There is more | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
royal food news on the horizon. What a link! The Duchess of | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
Cornwall, Camilla, has been going around the country and has | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
announced a competition for schools to come up with a menu to celebrate | :20:13. | :20:18. | |
the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in June. They want schools, kids between 10 | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
and 15, to come up with recipes which can then be cooked as canapes. | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
They want particularly ingredients local to the school, so celebrating | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
local food. The Queen is a Taurus, so what food would she enjoy? | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
:20:46. | :20:48. | ||
have a better of salmon and almond in my throat. -- a bit. I am in the | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
dojo with the munchkin so! The Queen will eat anything. That is | :20:56. | :21:02. | |
astrology. Thank you for being here, Jay. Last spring, we set Jamie | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
Crawford the task of taking screen savers for every season for you to | :21:06. | :21:16. | |
download at home. Spring, summer, autumn... Almost as if we had read | :21:16. | :21:25. | |
the weather forecast, it is Winter offers one of the most | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
spectacular but challenging photographic opportunities of the | :21:28. | :21:35. | |
year. This has been, so far, one of the mildest winters in years. If | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
you are determined to find some snow, there is really only one | :21:39. | :21:44. | |
place to go, the stunning Cairngorms national park. Winter in | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
Britain's most northerly national park in north-east Scotland means | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
gorgeous snow-capped mountains, reflective lakes, and the chance to | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
get close to nature. One thing to remember if you are photographing | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
snow is the settings on your camera will struggle to deal with it | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
sometimes because it is so bright. They will turn down the brightness | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
of the photograph and you end up with something grey and boring. The | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
answer is to turn your camera to manual and increase the exposure | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
settings. You need to over expose slightly, to bring back the bright | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
white snow. This abstract, wind carved detail of the snow and ice | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
is fantastic, but the big, pale winter sky with the cold setting | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
sun really feels like winter to me. It is my first screensaver | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
nomination. For my next shot, I am going to meet some unusual athletes | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
who thrive in cold weather. They love the snow, but it is thin on | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
the ground this year, so we are swapping the sledge for a cart. | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
Anything over 10 degrees centigrade is too warm for huskies to race. | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
They will overheat. The mercury is at zero today so they are raring to | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
go. I only have one chance to photograph these dogs, so I will | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
:23:10. | :23:16. | ||
use a high shutter speed to freeze And we are back! That is officially | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
the most exciting form of transport I think I have ever been on. I am | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
in Scotland, so I have to find a ruined castle. To get the best shot | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
of this one, I need a boat. Being on the water means I can manoeuvre | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
more easily to frame this scenic ruin. How old is his castle? About | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
700 years old. That is a lovely shot, but in a Scottish winter the | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
weather can change fast, bringing flat light and a landscape devoid | :23:50. | :23:54. | |
of colour. When the weather is like this, it is a good idea to pay | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
special attention to the composition of your photo. If you | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
really use the surroundings and, for example, put these boats in the | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
foreground of the photograph, it will make for a much more | :24:04. | :24:10. | |
interesting composition. A handy piece of kit to having your camera | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
bag is a polarising filter which, just like a pair of polarised | :24:13. | :24:18. | |
sunglasses, reduces glare. This can help to get extra depth to your | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
pictures. I like the boats, looking out hopefully into the cold lock, | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
but the ancient castle with the bare winter trees and the icy blue | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
skies gets my vote as the next screensaver nomination. For my | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
final shot, I am looking to use the wintry conditions to their best | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
advantage. Peter Romsey wildlife photography business here in the | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
Cairngorms. -- he runs a wildlife photography business. I am hoping | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
for some stunning close-up photos. At this time of year, animals and | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
birds have to look harder for food. Put some nuts on there, it also in | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
this tin. Leaving out some titbits can entice them to our lenses. | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
Birds and animals are famously nervous and hard to shoot, so you | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
need to be as unobtrusive as possible. Use a telephoto lens, if | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
you have one, to get a shot which fills the frame whilst keeping as | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
far away as possible from your subject. The lenses are unwieldy | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
and heavy and subject to camera shake, so a sturdy base to keep | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
them rock-solid. We are using beanbags, but the quality tripod | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:49. | ||
would do the job. Then, it is just This cheeky squirrel gathering food | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
is practically posing for me, but this classic shot of a crested tit | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
on a frosty brunch is just irresistible. It joins the big | :25:58. | :26:04. | |
winter sky and the ruined castle as my three winter screen savers. | :26:04. | :26:08. | |
You do not really live on the other side of the world, but those were | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
making you homesick still. goodness! One of the big problems, | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
and there are not many problems with a role like the Wizard of Oz, | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
but I am not at home. I am Dorothy, not just a friend of hers! Finally, | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
you get to work with Dorothy. want to go home to Snowdonia. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
and everybody at home can download the pictures as screen savers from | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
the website. I will have to do it. You are taking over as the Wizard | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
of Oz, when? On February 14th. I am actually on from February 7th, but | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
that is previews. February 14th onwards. I have 10 days to learn | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
this amazing roll. This is in the West End in London, a five-star | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
Review Show. It is the London Palladium, the greatest theatre in | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
the world. And you are taking over from Michael Crawford. A legend in | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
his own right. There are two shows of his that I remember - Hello | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
Dolly, with Barbra Streisand, and Phantom Of the Opera. He did Barnum | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
as well. He is absolutely amazing a decent meal lovely note today | :27:25. | :27:33. | |
congratulating me. How do you approach taking over from somebody? | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
Do you try to make it different, or do you emulate what he did? | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
have to be you. I am not Michael Crawford. I am only there, as you | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
know, because Strictly Come Dancing brought me to the fore, thanks to | :27:49. | :27:58. | |
:27:59. | :28:03. | ||
the great British public. Anyway, she brought me to the fore and I | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
would not be there but for Strictly. So you have to make your own. | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
Arlene Phillips, another legend, is doing the choreography. You will | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
find, for those who went to see the Wizard of Oz, you are now going to | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
find little bits of Strictly, a touch of samba, a touch of this, a | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
touch of that, and American smooth. Book your tickets, is what we are | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
saying. Arlene Phillips in the paper today, there have been secret | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
talks, apparently, with the BBC about her coming back as a judge | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
because Alesha Dixon has gone to the dark side. You must have talked | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
about this with her. She has not talked about it, but I did a show | :28:45. | :28:49. | |
last week on the dark side. They actually said to me, is it true | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
that you have been approached. No, but a betting firm made me two-to- | :28:54. | :28:57. | |
one favourite to take over. Technically, I could never do that. | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
When it comes to performance, you kind of know what is right and | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
wrong. I said, you know Arlene Phillips would be ideal. You love | :29:06. | :29:12. | |
to gossip. You must have talked about it. You know about this. | :29:12. | :29:20. | |
have not, Chris. We will get it out of him. We know that you can dance, | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
but people might be wondering, what is his singing voice like. We can | :29:25. | :29:30. | |
answer that. Hang on. Let's see the clip. | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
# I don't care about the rising some | :29:36. | :29:40. | |
# Or lino is that when your hands touch mine, you move me on | :29:41. | :29:50. | |
:29:51. | :29:57. | ||
# Yes, you are Do you still have the top? My voice | :29:57. | :30:02. | |
has been getting stronger but it's a bit tired today because I've done | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
four and a half days non-stop singing and talking and scripting | :30:06. | :30:13. | |
and everything else. But I have got up to an "F-off", might top note | :30:13. | :30:21. | |
originally when I was doing it was BG. I meant the sparkly top. Oh, I | :30:21. | :30:27. | |
didn't realise. No, I gave that to a charity. Mike Dilger has been in | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
captivity all week at Tiggywinkles animal rescue centre in | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
Buckinghamshire. We thought it was time to release him back into the | :30:36. | :30:44. | |
wild. He is not the only one almost ready for freedom. The majority of | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
animals that survive after being brought into this rescue centre are | :30:47. | :30:53. | |
released back into the wild. Part of the healing process is to get | :30:53. | :31:02. | |
them back to full fitness. Look at that bouncing away. This bird was | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
brought in four weeks ago, having been found lying on the ground. He | :31:06. | :31:11. | |
needs to get fit and strong to be able to migrate to Africa. First, | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
it's back to basics. He's swimming twice a day just to get his | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
strength up and get his legs working. Common terns spend their | :31:19. | :31:23. | |
lives around water, so he will need a few more swimming lessons before | :31:23. | :31:28. | |
he gets released. For some animals being in a cage means their natural | :31:28. | :31:33. | |
every day grooming just doesn't happen. Because they are in | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
hospital they are not getting a lot of exercise. In the wild they would | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
be digging up their food and walking two or three miles and | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
night. Unfortunately, they can't do that here. We just have to keep an | :31:46. | :31:56. | |
:31:56. | :31:56. | ||
eye on them and trim them if they needed. -- need it. Early in the | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
week we rescued a fallow deer caught in a fence. But there was | :31:59. | :32:04. | |
concern about the wound to his leg. What is worrying me is his foot | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
feels cold. What might end up happening within is the foot ends | :32:07. | :32:11. | |
up dying off and falling off. If that happens we will have to | :32:11. | :32:14. | |
amputate the whole leg. After a number of days there is still no | :32:14. | :32:20. | |
blood circulation to his foot. So it is damaged beyond repair. But | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
luckily, deer can survive really well with only three legs. There is | :32:24. | :32:28. | |
a local estate which takes them in, where he will be able to lead a | :32:28. | :32:34. | |
relatively normal life. This rescue centre is close to the children | :32:34. | :32:40. | |
Hills, one of the best places in England to see red kites. Many pass | :32:40. | :32:46. | |
through the doors here and they are young juveniles. In a nest is | :32:46. | :32:49. | |
common for larger ones to attract younger siblings for food. The | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
weaker ones end appear. These are the third one in the nest. The | :32:54. | :32:59. | |
juveniles come in at the end of the summer, a couple of weeks when they | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
all are leaving the nest, these guys can't make it. Now that they | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
are big and strong enough, it is time for release. First we need to | :33:06. | :33:16. | |
:33:16. | :33:26. | ||
catch them to be tagged and renewed. I will let Sharon do the difficult | :33:26. | :33:32. | |
bit. As well as the red kites Barrar a couple of buzzards that | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
are ready to be released as well. But one needs some feathers | :33:37. | :33:44. | |
repaired on its wing. We've got some old feathers here from another | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
buzzard. We can join it on to there and make a nice, new feather. I've | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
just got to measure it up with that one. Cut them both the same length. | :33:54. | :34:02. | |
Bird feathers are hollow, so they can be connected by inserting a | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
steal used by falconers. Then you've got the feather which | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
matches in with that one. Now he will be able to fly. Next year when | :34:12. | :34:15. | |
the bird moulds it will drop back further and replace it with a fresh | :34:15. | :34:25. | |
:34:25. | :34:29. | ||
one. But first it needs a test You've done a pretty good job. As | :34:29. | :34:32. | |
well as the buzz words, the team are also ready to release the red | :34:32. | :34:42. | |
:34:42. | :34:46. | ||
kites. For some, this will be their Red kites have a wingspan of nearly | :34:46. | :34:54. | |
two metres. Due to their small body weight, they are incredibly agile. | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
Once in the sky, they can glide for hours with hardly a beta of their | :34:58. | :35:07. | |
wings. That is brilliant. Aren't they the most wonderful bird in the | :35:07. | :35:17. | |
world? That is a very nice end to The latest on our deer, he has had | :35:17. | :35:27. | |

his leg removed. He is managing on We saw how in planting a new | :35:28. | :35:32. | |
feather helped a bird fly again, but surely a cat that has had its | :35:32. | :35:37. | |
back legs chopped off by a combine harvester is beyond repair. Well, | :35:37. | :35:47. | |

to see you. How is Oscar? He is doing great. Running outside now. | :36:01. | :36:06. | |
I've brought one of his feet to show you. He is running on blades | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
now. He runs around like a normal cat outdoors. It is almost like he | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
is here. A lot of people don't believe it is possible or it's not | :36:15. | :36:22. | |
right, but he's having a great life. You've got they've and Mitzi. | :36:22. | :36:26. | |

point her only options were chop the leg off or alternatively, Save | :36:30. | :36:37. | |
the leg or put it to sleep. She was bleeding a lot. We put this | :36:37. | :36:47. | |

on very well with one of your other patients, unfortunately. If Mitzi | :36:58. | :37:08. | |
:37:08. | :37:10. | ||
would like to leave and then we What is the difference between a | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
prosthetic and a bionic? Bionics are devices that replace body | :37:15. | :37:20. | |
organs or other parts mechanically. There are at bands to bionic s, | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
like in Mitzi. She has a piece of metal into her ankle bone. The | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
revolution was that very clever people at University College London | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
designed an implant that was like a deer and Le, and the skin could | :37:34. | :37:39. | |
grow into it. But more simple prosthetics would be this, a total | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
hip replacement in a pussycat. Imagine him planting that. This is | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
routine stuff. But the stuff that The Ritzy has and Charlie has, that | :37:49. | :37:53. | |
is advanced bionics. There is an artificial bridge between two real | :37:53. | :37:58. | |
bits. Charlie was diagnosed with cancer. The cancer was eating away | :37:58. | :38:05. | |
his forearm. Now he has, between his elbow and his foot, he has a | :38:05. | :38:13. | |
real food, a real elbow, but everything in between his mettle. - | :38:13. | :38:23. | |
:38:23. | :38:23. | ||
- metal. He is two years out now. People think this isn't possible. | :38:23. | :38:32. | |
That dog is a happy dog! And I'm very happy owner. You do believe in | :38:32. | :38:35. | |
one medicine, animals helping humans, humans helping animals. | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
What could be the advantages if you adopted some of these ideas on | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
human beings? That is entirely metal between here and there. The | :38:43. | :38:52. | |
bone grows into it like a honey comb. I believe the future is the | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
Corporation of human doctors and Betton very doctors. I do believe | :38:57. | :39:01. | |
this animal should be saved. If we cannot save this animal and it | :39:01. | :39:06. | |
helps a human child that has bone cancer, why would we not do that? | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
Or an injured soldier. Indeed. There are people losing legs all of | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
the time for various reasons. I strongly believe that the two | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
professions have diverged, that doesn't need to happen. If we save | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
a life in a dog or cat and a human benefits from that, why would we | :39:23. | :39:33. | |
:39:33. | :39:40. | ||
Thank you so much. Let's check in with our birthday girl, Lottie | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
Goodwin. She is 100 years old today and is Britain's oldest TV extra. | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
We've given her the A-list treatment that she deserves. She is | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
getting some final touches down in make-up. It looks like she has got | :39:54. | :39:59. | |
Dave in the palm of her hand yet again. We will meet her in person | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
later. Remember, keep trying to spot her being an extra in our | :40:02. | :40:08. | |
films. That might include this next one. It's time to go back to school | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
for Saira Khan. We're here at a community school in | :40:14. | :40:21. | |
Long Eaton, Derbyshire. I was here from 1981-1988. I didn't know how I | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
would feel coming back to my old school. Now that I'm here, I feel | :40:26. | :40:35. | |
quite emotional. Standing along this corridor, it just fills me | :40:35. | :40:41. | |
with lots of happiness. I've got so many amazing, lovely memories of | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
this school. At home I lead a very sheltered life because my parents | :40:45. | :40:50. | |
were immigrants to this country. My father came over in 1965. I've got | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
two brothers and a sister. We grew up in a two-up, two-down in Long | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
Eaton. My parents were Muslims, so I was brought up in a Muslim | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
culture. I didn't eat the same food as my friends, so my mum would cook | :41:02. | :41:08. | |
me an Asian Dist -- dish every night. I would wear the traditional | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
Pakistani clothes every day. As soon as I came back from school I | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
would be wearing those. Home life for me felt a little bit like a | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
caged for me. I used school as a way to really express myself and be | :41:21. | :41:30. | |
connected with the rest of the world. The school hall. Our school | :41:30. | :41:33. | |
dramas and school productions happened here. The drama has meant | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
a lot to me because it was the one subject where I could really | :41:36. | :41:42. | |
express myself. I really enjoyed showing off and acting, because I | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
couldn't do that at home. I couldn't express myself like that. | :41:45. | :41:50. | |
I always wanted to study drama but my father said there was no way. I | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
remember being deeply disappointed that it was one subject that I | :41:54. | :42:04. | |
:42:04. | :42:04. | ||
We are in the chemistry labs. I have to say, my father really | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
wanted me to do well in chemistry in order to become a doctor. I | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
really let my father down because it was the one subject he wanted me | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
to do well in, and it was the one subject that no matter how many | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
times I retook it, I just couldn't pass it. There was a lot of | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
parental pressure in my life. My parents came to this country for | :42:23. | :42:27. | |
one reason. That was for their children to do better than they did. | :42:27. | :42:35. | |
And not to be good at his subject was a big deal. I felt I let my | :42:35. | :42:41. | |
family down. I didn't want to let them down. I faint at the sight of | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
blood. There was no way I was going to be a doctor - it is just | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
ridiculous! Later on, as I got a job and by first company car, all | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
of those things pleased him so he wasn't too bad. The teacher I | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
remembered the most is my form teacher, Mr Maxwell. He also taught | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
me French. He's a lovely guy. Mr Maxwell, this is weird. How do you | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
remember me? I remember you as you wear when you left school. What | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
does that picture say? It says a smartly turned-out young lady, a | :43:14. | :43:19. | |
smiling young lady. I did smile a lot because I enjoyed school. I was | :43:19. | :43:26. | |
the only person in a school uniform. In the 80s, uniforms went as | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
fashionable in schools in this area as they become now. It was such a | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
stigma. Everybody else in the 80s were wearing trendy clothes and I | :43:34. | :43:38. | |
was in the school uniform. My parents were just so... They just | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
wanted me to wear a school uniform. I was a little bit more to fight | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
because nobody else was wearing one. Perhaps and putting words in your | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
mouth a but I felt I was one of your favourites. I felt that myself. | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
I don't be it's a coincidence that I still have a copy of that photo. | :43:57. | :44:00. | |
My inner drive obviously comes from my parents but there is also one | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
other person that when I met her for the very first time, I realised | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
there is another way to live. That was a girl called Joanna Steed. | :44:11. | :44:16. | |
Coming back here, we could go back into a lesson not. Go and have a | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
Cornish pasty and beans then off to a lesson. She was one of the very | :44:19. | :44:22. | |
few rich kids in the school. That was the first time Mike Ker into | :44:22. | :44:27. | |
close contact with how the other half lived. I remember when I was | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
young thinking, when I grow older I want to be like Joanna, I want to | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
live how she does. Meeting her at school and the fact that she is | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
still my best friend says a lot. Yes! | :44:38. | :44:44. | |
It says a lot, but who was the rather elderly lady in shot there? | :44:44. | :44:50. | |
It is Friday night Lottie! We've held back until now but we've got | :44:50. | :45:00. | |
:45:00. | :45:18. | ||
to talk about Strictly. Yes. Let's It's like a therapy session here. | :45:18. | :45:24. | |
He is about to burst into tears. Does it seem like another life? | :45:24. | :45:30. | |
does. I have just seen fluffier. We text every day and we talk to each | :45:31. | :45:37. | |
other all the time. She is so special to me. She is my family. | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
Are you missing it? Why don't you enter again this year? If it was a | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
loud, I would. We could have a small one, just you and me, and | :45:48. | :45:55. | |
then we could win. I will be the judge. Talking of small ones, look | :45:55. | :46:02. | |
at Russell at school. There is so much joy and hope in that face. | :46:02. | :46:08. | |
That is a beautiful photograph. was at junior school in Middlesex, | :46:08. | :46:13. | |
and I had a lovely school life. It was the village school. I went back | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
to the church, the beautiful St Mary's church where I was head | :46:17. | :46:27. | |

choirboy, just on Sunday. He is full of it tonight. Very cool | :46:28. | :46:34. | |
tonight. It is because I am in the Wizard of Oz. Everything is green, | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
even the sofa. You said one of the reasons you did Strictly was | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
because you wanted to entertain. You are back in musical theatre, | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
but you have held onto your astrology. For a while you were | :46:46. | :46:53. | |
thinking, I don't want to know about that. What is going on there? | :46:53. | :46:57. | |
I am not doing interviews about astrology. The only astrology I am | :46:57. | :46:59. | |
doing, because Steve Wright threatened to kill me if I did not | :46:59. | :47:05. | |
carry on. He is a Virgo and he would die sector me bit by bit. I | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
am still doing radioed to every so often for him, but no more | :47:10. | :47:16. | |
astrology interviews. It is on the website and in the papers. It | :47:16. | :47:21. | |
hijacked my career 40 years ago, let me get back to the music. | :47:21. | :47:25. | |
Showbiz rocks. What is the invisible toilet chain that you | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
keep pulling? I am doing children of Eden, back in the West End for | :47:30. | :47:35. | |
the first time on Sunday, and my last... I am playing the snake and | :47:35. | :47:42. | |
I'm doing a rumba. Went even eats the Apple I go, yes. So I am | :47:42. | :47:48. | |
rehearsing with the toilet chain. - - when even eats the apple. We have | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
someone who thinks the world of you and we have a message from her. | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
Hello, Russell, I am in my dressing room at the Aldwych Theatre. I had | :47:58. | :48:02. | |
to send a message to Cwmgwrach -- to congratulate you on your role in | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
the Wizard of Oz. Amazing. If things do not work out, I would | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
love to have you on stage with me. I think Vincent could do with a | :48:11. | :48:21. | |
:48:21. | :48:26. | ||
night off. Call me, Russell. He is going again! This is the | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
aftermath of Strictly. This is the most wonderful message. Thank you | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
for arranging that. Lottie is 100 years old. We have another big | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
birthday on Sunday. 70 years of Desert Island Discs. Regular | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
listeners have been given the chance to choose their own castaway | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
classics. No matter where you are, or what | :48:49. | :48:54. | |
you're doing, one thing is for certain, when you hear this music | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
you will be transported to a time and place that is cherished. Over | :48:59. | :49:05. | |
to a 1800 castaways, from political heavyweights to British royalty | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
have share their memories. But what if the loyal band of listeners were | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
castaways themselves, what would they choose to take on their desert | :49:12. | :49:21. | |
island? My name is Kate, and if I was cast away on a desert island I | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
would choose let it be me, by Bob Dylan. My little girl was born to | :49:26. | :49:32. | |
the song, basically. I pushed, the head came out, and then let it be | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
me came on. When we brought her home the next day, we came in and | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
they put on the song and had some flowers, and she sat. I am tearful | :49:41. | :49:46. | |
just thinking about it. She sat in her car seat and we just looked at | :49:46. | :49:56. | |
:49:56. | :49:57. | ||
her, really. Before I was a castaway, I would pick one | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
particular track by an Italian tenor. How does it make you feel | :50:02. | :50:07. | |
when you hear it? Extremely emotional. It reminds me so much of | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
what my father went through during the war, his escape from Poland, | :50:11. | :50:16. | |
internment in Switzerland, my own childhood, my relationship with my | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
father. Being a young boy, these things did not mean much. When you | :50:20. | :50:25. | |
get older, you begin to understand your family history. All that I was | :50:25. | :50:29. | |
aware of was sitting at home in the front room, listening to my dad | :50:29. | :50:39. | |
trying to sing in pidgin Italian with a Polish accent. If we were | :50:39. | :50:47. | |
castaways, our Desert Island Disc would be by Stevie Wonder. We | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
started as pen pals 18 years ago. Tatiana was in Russia and I was in | :50:52. | :50:57. | |
Manchester. It was like a prince on a white horse for me. I knew that | :50:57. | :51:02. | |
it was this man I fall in love. And after that, we just could not live | :51:02. | :51:09. | |
apart. I plucked up the courage one Sunday afternoon and I said, I've | :51:09. | :51:17. | |
got something to ask, Tatyana. I said, are you sat down? Yes. Will | :51:17. | :51:22. | |
you marry me? When he said, will you marry me, my neighbour said, | :51:22. | :51:29. | |
what, what happened? He asked me to marry him. And? I said yes. I could | :51:29. | :51:34. | |
not breathe. If I were cast away there is one record I would have to | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
have and that is Roberta Flack's first time ever I Saw Your face. It | :51:38. | :51:42. | |
reminds me of falling in love with my husband 25 years ago and that is | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
why does it Island Discs is so successful, because it reminds us | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
of the things that are important in life. -- Desert Island Discs. How | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
do you think you will be feeling about this song in 20 years? | :51:58. | :52:03. | |
depends what kind of teenager she is like, I guess. We shall see. I | :52:03. | :52:09. | |
am sure it will always have a place in my heart. It becomes a piece of | :52:09. | :52:14. | |
family treasure, heritage to be passed down the line. Makes a lump | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
in the throat, the heart skip a little. 18 years further on, it is | :52:19. | :52:29. | |
:52:29. | :52:34. | ||
still doing the same thing. Still, Why is everybody crying? It is an | :52:34. | :52:39. | |
emotional show. What can we say? Dr Catrina Morrison, welcome to the | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
show. You have done lots of research and you think that music | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
is the serum for memory. This is what is fantastic about Desert | :52:49. | :52:52. | |
Island Discs. They put music and memory together and got people to | :52:52. | :52:56. | |
open up in ways that they otherwise would not. What we have is a very | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
personal account of someone's life. Narratives of lives. Not always | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
positive, sometimes memories of negative things as well. That is | :53:06. | :53:10. | |
the richness and the beauty of it. You feel you get to know somebody | :53:10. | :53:13. | |
in a way that you would not otherwise. It is the music that is | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
important. You escape into the record and it gives you a release. | :53:18. | :53:24. | |
You did a study using the Beatles. We discover that the Beatles, a | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
global music phenomenon, everybody had some kind of memory. We were | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
able to unlock seams of memory that had not been touched for decades. | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
We found that the Beatles were this global musical phenomenon that | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
really played an important part in people's lives and emphasised how | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
important music is in your life, your perception of yourself, your | :53:44. | :53:52. | |
understanding of who you are and your place in the world. What is on | :53:52. | :54:00. | |
your car stereo? Rock ballads. score to the Wizard of Oz. Kismet | :54:00. | :54:10. | |
to the musical, the Kismet Overture. The Beatles. What about you? Doris | :54:10. | :54:20. | |
:54:20. | :54:21. | ||
Day. Thank you to Dr Catrina. You can hear more listeners sharing | :54:21. | :54:26. | |
their Desert Island Discs on BBC local radio stations this Sunday. | :54:26. | :54:35. | |
At 11:15am on Sunday morning, David Attenborough or with Kirsty Young. | :54:35. | :54:38. | |

show. Happy birthday, Lottie. Ladies and gentlemen, I am 100 | :55:40. | :55:49. | |
years old today. For heaven's sake, sit down. You deserve it. 40 years | :55:49. | :55:55. | |
ago you started this. You were a big singer. I used to sing and then | :55:55. | :56:00. | |
I decided I must do television. And at the age of 60, I started doing | :56:01. | :56:09. | |
television. And for 38-40 years. The oldest extra now in England. I | :56:09. | :56:17. | |
am still at it. I hurt my leg or I would be working. Thank heavens you | :56:17. | :56:22. | |

Pretty good. You have famously been in Emmerdale and Coronation Street. | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
You name a programme, in the years, everything. You were getting | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
recognised so much in both that Emmerdale and Coronation Street | :57:15. | :57:22. | |
said, only one of us can have her. Who did you go for? Well, I stopped | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
driving. This girl did Coronation Street, but I wanted to do | :57:26. | :57:36. | |
:57:36. | :57:37. | ||
Emmerdale. I had one or two friends, so why did Emmerdale instead. | :57:37. | :57:41. | |
