Jones and Chris Evans. Thank you to the Ronnie Hazlehurst Orchestra, | :00:03. | :00:13. | |
:00:13. | :00:15. | ||
who we are laughing having as our house band this evening. -- we are | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
laughing. Ronnie Hazlehurst wrote over 200 classic TV theme tunes. | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Are You being served, Last Of the Summer Wine, Blankety Blank, the | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Generation Game. I have not -- got time to go through them all. They | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
have had us rocking all afternoon. Tonight's star guest is a musician, | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
comedian and wildlife not who has been described as the Quentin | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
:00:48. | :00:58. | ||
Tarantino of nature. It is Bill Hello. Were you aware of the | :00:58. | :01:04. | |
Quentin Tarantino thing? That is not something I am familiar with. | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
The Quentin Tarantino! That was not me that came out with that. That | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
implies some sort of violence against badgers. Mr Black, Mr White. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Mr Black and White. What do you think of the house band? They are | :01:21. | :01:26. | |
rocking, fantastic! They should be on the main stage at the heroes of | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
metal festival. They are rocking. I would love to go on tour with a | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
band like that. Brilliant! It is a busy night for you because you are | :01:37. | :01:46. | |
also on QI. I liked the way you called me the Bailey. What is going | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
on with the outfit? That is something I wear around the house. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
I think it is a Shakespeare Festival tonight. Something to do | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
with Shakespeare. You know what it is like, most of it is over my head. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
Stephen Fry will explain. He has a brain the size of a planet. We just | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
go along with it. You will have to leave it to him. We will be finding | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
out why he is turning himself into Le Qualmpeddler and what exactly a | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
Qualmpeddler is a little bit later on. And we will be meeting this | :02:22. | :02:29. | |
little lady. She turned a one- bedroom flat into a top Parisian | :02:29. | :02:39. | |
restaurant and also got a TV show out of it. Rachel Khoo. Also coming | :02:39. | :02:49. | |
:02:49. | :02:50. | ||
up,... Let's do that again. Also coming up, but not quite yet... | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:07. | ||
Pick up the instruments. Also A blast of Tom Jones. That must | :03:07. | :03:12. | |
mean that we are visiting The Voice on the eve of the first live show. | :03:12. | :03:17. | |
How exciting. I cannot believe I have been given backstage access to | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
the biggest show on TV right now, The Voice. I will be catching up | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
with two of the coaches and talking to the competing teams. Now all I | :03:27. | :03:34. | |
need is a backstage pass. Thank you very much. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
It has to be one of the biggest studios I have ever seen. This | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
enormous sound stage at Elstree Studios is where they filmed Star | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
Wars. It is 16,000 square feet and it is named the George Lucas stage. | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
I will be interrupting rehearsals later hoping to catch Tom Jones and | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
Stanley and speak to them and find out what is going on in the show on | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
Saturday, and also speaking to Tom's team, who will be up for the | :04:01. | :04:06. | |
public vote. Tension is high and we will get the backstage gossip. | :04:06. | :04:13. | |
is so lucky to have a backstage pass. Everyone is lucky! Our | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
brilliant house band are here this evening, named after one of the | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
greatest composers of theme tunes that TV has ever seen. Carrie Grant | :04:21. | :04:28. | |
picks up the story of the legendary Ronnie Hazlehurst. | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
Music flowed effortlessly from Ronnie Hazlehurst. In meticulous | :04:31. | :04:41. | |
:04:41. | :04:52. | ||
pencil, he wrote some of the most Ronnie Hazlehurst composed, | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
arranged and conducted for radio, TV and film for over 40 years, | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
including a long spell as the BBC's musical director. His TV themes | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
alone topped and tailed dozens of the nation's favourite shows, and | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
he knew exactly what they were supposed to do. Get people out of | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
the kitchen is the first thing, make them aware that the programme | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
is coming on. It does not necessarily have to be loud, but | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
arresting enough and identifying enough with the programme to make | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
them realise what is coming on. was the model of an all-round | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
musician in all but one surprising aspect. He was the original self- | :05:30. | :05:36. | |
made man. He had no musical education? He was self-taught. He | :05:36. | :05:40. | |
left school at 14 and went to work in the cotton mills at will with | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
the family finances. The story goes that he found a trumpet and his | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
brother's bed and that spurred him on. After years of playing in dance | :05:49. | :05:56. | |
bands, he got a coveted BBC job as a musical arranger in radio. And he | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
was spotted from TV. The first thing I remember, he was doing the | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
likely lads when it first started, the original black and white ones. | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
His career coincided with the boom in BBC sitcoms and light | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
entertainment. His talents served it perfectly. When I was a kid, it | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
was one of those names you felt comfortable with, comfortable BBC, | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
and the sound of the music had that feel as well. Probably, you would | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
identify it by the rhythms of the actual words, Blankety Blank, | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
Blankety Blank. Blankety Blank, Blankety Blank. Last of the Summer | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
Wine. Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, which was written from Morse code | :06:42. | :06:52. | |
of the actual words. The Morse code was played by two piccolos. That, | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
in itself, is really clever. Everybody knows that tune, don't | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
they? David Lowe's work is equally well known today, including BBC | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
News, grand designs and the One Show. But computers have made life | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
easy for a modern composer. In his day, he would have worked | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
everything out with a manuscript paper at his desk and he would not | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
have known what it sounded like until he got into the studio. Now, | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
we have every sound at our disposal on the computer. I can be working | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
on something in the morning and at midnight I can think, I want to add | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
a marimba to that, a tambourine, and I can come and do it later. | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
Ronnie Wood have been working in the studio with the band, getting | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
it all done in one go. It was a different vibe altogether. Ronnie's | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
skills made his job portable, needing paper, pencil and possibly | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
a video of the show he was writing for. At 78, he was even composing | :07:53. | :07:57. | |
in hospital. Matt Baker met in the day before major heart surgery. | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
is a funny place to be working on this. I remember when he was in | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
hospital how he was desperate to be involved. I am doing the Christmas | :08:07. | :08:13. | |
episode of the Last Of the Summer Wine. That show was in his soul. | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
Just one year later, he died, but to keep the music live, his | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
manuscripts were put into the care of a man with a band who could play | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
them. I have half a garage full of them. A massive amount of music. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
Chris Dean worked for Ronnie and he now runs the Sid Lawrence Orchestra. | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
He came up the right time but also had a protective gift. He used a | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
cash register in Are You Being Served. Who writes music free cash | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
register? To the manor born was done like Elgar, a good old British | :08:46. | :08:56. | |
March. He really picked out what was required. The Two Ronnies, that | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
was the first time I came across Ronnie Hazlehurst. And then I found | :08:59. | :09:08. | |
out there were three rallies. -- it was the Three Ronnies. Corbett, | :09:08. | :09:14. | |
Barker and Hazel Hirst. His legend lives on through Chris and the band, | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
but we could not have them on without a blast of Blankety Blank. | :09:19. | :09:29. | |
:09:29. | :09:42. | ||
We have got the Blankety Blank microphone. Shall we have a game? | :09:42. | :09:51. | |
Yes. Rachel, will you guess? Matt Le Blanc was the guest on my | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
radio show this morning and the thing he wanted to talk about most | :09:56. | :10:05. | |
was his "blank". What do you think? I would say probably his up and | :10:05. | :10:15. | |
:10:15. | :10:18. | ||
coming TV show. Which is on in two weeks from tonight. Panther. I | :10:18. | :10:24. | |
don't know. Does he have a weird animal? I am going with a pet. | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
Rachel, what do you think? His hair. You are all wrong. Matt Le Blanc | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
was the guest on my show this morning and the thing he wanted to | :10:34. | :10:39. | |
talk about most, and this is true, was his motor home with a built-in | :10:39. | :10:49. | |
:10:49. | :10:56. | ||
I will have a go. A motor home with a garage bills in. Does that not | :10:56. | :11:00. | |
defeat the object of having a motor home. If you have a motor home, | :11:00. | :11:06. | |
that drives around. So what are you driving into the garage? Is it like | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
a Russian doll. He loves motorcycle racing, so he takes his daughter to | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
the track. They live in the motor home and his mechanics work out of | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
the back of it to get his bikes fast to win the race. That might be | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
all that we have time for. Here we go. I had just moved into a flat | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
with my boyfriend and the only thing that we have argued about so | :11:29. | :11:39. | |
:11:39. | :11:41. | ||
far is a "blank". Another person in the flat? That would be a serious | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
argument. It is not quite that serious. A lava lamp. Rachel, | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
anything sensible? A kettle. Very important. Very important, a cup of | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
tea. Yes, it is the first thing we bought. I have just moved into a | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
flat with my boyfriend and the only thing we have argued about so far | :12:10. | :12:20. | |
:12:20. | :12:28. | ||
Might go, brilliant. I went to the shop today and I've bought a brand | :12:28. | :12:38. | |
:12:38. | :12:39. | ||
new "blank". Unicycle? A bearded dragon. That is not a bad answer. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
Yes, I am going with that. Rachel, what do you think I got in the | :12:44. | :12:52. | |
shop? A rubber duck. Do you want me to tell you? It was a brand new | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
:13:02. | :13:12. | ||
Bill, you know a thing or two about theme tunes. Yes, I do. Before we | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
talk about theme tunes, shall we have a look at you doing the theme | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
tune to Panorama? The longest running current affairs programme | :13:22. | :13:32. | |
:13:32. | :13:36. | ||
in the world, the theme to Panorama. I think, I don't know about you, | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
but I think that would sound the same if you played it backwards. | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :14:08. | ||
Can you play that? Backwards? Give APPLAUSE | :14:08. | :14:17. | |
And you are right, Bill. There's the keyboard! | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
What is your favourite theme tune? I love theme tunes. You can see how | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
versatile they can be. One of my favourites is the Match of the Day | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
theme tune. Very nice. You can play nit a variety of different ways, it | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
lends itself to the classical genre, you know. Lovely. You know, that's | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
very nice. I also personally prefer the lounge version, a much more | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
relaxed version. I don't know whether the band can join in here. | :14:49. | :14:59. | |
:14:59. | :15:32. | ||
Oh, to be talented! Well done! APPLAUSE | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
I have to say, that's not my favourite, my favourite version of | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
Match Of The Day is the Jewish fock song version of Match Of The Day, | :15:41. | :15:49. | |
if you transpose it into a minor key, you get this -- Jewish folk | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
:15:59. | :16:11. | ||
Oi! Excellent. It doesn't sound like a football programme. Exactly. | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
I suppose one of my favourites would be Ski Sunday. Oh, yes. | :16:18. | :16:28. | |
:16:28. | :16:28. | ||
It's an absolute corking classic. It's brilliant. It's a beautiful | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
piece of music, written in the '70s, written as a paradiof Bach and it | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
:16:45. | :16:55. | ||
was actually, the BBC used it for Ski Sunday and it is modelled on | :16:55. | :17:05. | |
:17:05. | :17:10. | ||
This is virtually the siem in a minor key. If you play Ski Sunday | :17:10. | :17:16. | |
in a minor key, you get Bach. -- the same. Ladies and gentlemen, | :17:16. | :17:25. | |
come on! APPLAUSE Would you fancy | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
collaborating with the band later on? Thank you very much for that, | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
fantastic. Do you want to play us out with the band collaborating? | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
Yes. Not now. We have got half an hour left. Could the 1p copper coin | :17:40. | :17:46. | |
be on the way out? Some shopkeepers want that. Can you even spend 1p | :17:46. | :17:55. | |
these days. Alex Riley's adding his two pennet worth to the debate. | :17:55. | :18:02. | |
Chances are, the one pences are stuck in the back of a settee or | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
are stuck in the cack juem cleaner. There is a debate, isn't it about | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
time we abolished the penny? It's been 4 1 years since the penny came | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
into the world in its present decimal form. The pound will be | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
divided into 100 new pence. didn't immediately catch on with | :18:21. | :18:26. | |
everyone. I certainly don't want to start with this new coinage to me | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
now, I can't get through with it. Due to inflation, the buying power | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
of the penny is less than a 12th of what it was in 1971, so how easy is | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
it for me to "spend a penny". Nothing for a penny in there. Used | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
to be just pennies. Now it's just pounds. | :18:46. | :18:55. | |
This is more like it. Oh. Only takes 2 pences. How much are flying | :18:55. | :19:05. | |
:19:05. | :19:05. | ||
saucers? One penny. I'll have 1,000 please. Last month Canada got rid | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
of their equivalent of the penny, as have New Zealand and Australia. | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
Isn't it time we followed suit? It's been around for years and it | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
was the only coin in surklaition for this country for years. -- | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
circulation. What is a penny made of? Up until 1992, they were made | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
of bronze, that's 1971, the earliest one you will find in | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
circulation, would have been made of bronze. The later one is made of | :19:34. | :19:40. | |
copper plated steel and it's magnetic. That one there isn't. | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
does the old adage that if you look after the pennies, the pounds will | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
look after themselves still hold true? Just seeing if anybody picks | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
it up. If you saw a penny on the floor, would you pick it up? | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
would. No. You would, you fibber. 2p I would. Bending down in public | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
isn't very good. I would pass it on to somebody. 10p perhaps, but, you | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
know, I'm a man of means. Can't go the toilet now for a penny can you, | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
like you used to. It's 20p and 30p in railway stations. It is. | :20:21. | :20:28. | |
Royal Mint calculates that about 6.5 billion pennies have been lost | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
in circulation, lost or stashed away. Your organisation represents | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
200,000 small businesses, do you members think the penny's spent? | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
Opinion will be Dwighted. People will say it's a good thing, some | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
will say it gets in the way. My gut feeling is that most people will | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
say it's time to accept the penny's not worth much. The biggest | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
challenge to anybody that works with cash is having to keep a float | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
of cash in the tills. They have to count and process it and take to it | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
the bank. When you pay money in, cash into a bank, often it costs. | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
More people pay by card and small value items in particular are | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
increasingly being purchased by plastic, rather than copper in your | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
pocket. With an increasing number of people | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
asking for it to be withdrawn from circulation, is it just a matter of | :21:17. | :21:24. | |
time before the penny's dropped? There are 6.5 billion pennies | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
missing, so let's find them, shall we? Let's find them now. We want | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
you to stick your hand down the back of your sofa, take a picture | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
of you with whatever you find and send it in. Nothing down here! | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
don't know, let's have a feel. We have a '70s theme going on here. | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
The new penny was born in 1971, Ronnie Hazlehurst' band with are us | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
and we are joined by Dominic Sandbrook. Your new series is | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
called The Seventies? Does what it sent on the till, a Ronseal kind of | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
programme. Do you have to wait until they are vintage or have you | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
pitched this idea before? It's 30 or 40 years since the 706z, so you | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
can look back now and see the beginning of things like consumer | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
borrowing and feminism and these things. They've laid the | :22:19. | :22:23. | |
foundations for the world we live in right now. You say feminism. One | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
thing that shocked me was the way attitudes have changed towards | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
women. In your show, you show a clip of Parkie and I'll never look | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
at him in the same light again. Women were routinely portrayed as | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
sexual play things. One of our rising stars of the theatre and | :22:41. | :22:50. | |
asks she's especially telling with slutish eroticism, Helen Mirren". | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
You are a serious actress, but do you find that what could be best | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
described as your equipment hinders you in that pursuit? I would like | :23:00. | :23:07. | |
you to explain what you mean?Y your physical attributes? You mean my | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
fingers? No, I meant your... Naughty Parkie skham | :23:13. | :23:19. | |
Oh! When did all that stop, was it Mary Whitehouse? It was shifting in | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
the late '70s, early '80s. It's astonishing when you look back at | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
this footage, it's easy to look back and be appalled. There was a | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
great car ad in the '70s and the tagline said if this car was a | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
woman it would get its bottom pinched and underneath somebody | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
spray painted, if this woman was a car, she'd run you down. Really?! I | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
wonder who spray painted that! Punk a came along. How was that born? | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
think as a great explosion of energy really in the art schools in | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
the mid '70s and everyone remembers the Malcolm McLaren impresario who | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
created the Sex Pistols. Older people, as we show in the series, | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
were horrified. They saw it as a barbaric challenge to everything | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
that Britain stood for. Some Welsh people were properly scared. Church | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
goers gathered outside the Castle Cinema, led by a local pastor. | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
do protest that it's come to Caerphilly. Terrible. Disgusting. | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
Lowering the standard of our people in Caerphilly. But what was it that | :24:31. | :24:40. | |
had the good people of kaerfil in such a advertisey? -- Caerphilly | :24:40. | :24:47. | |
The cult is called punk, the music is punk rock. Raw, outrageous and | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
crude. In the Vanguard, the Sex Pistols. Do you think the whole | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
explosion of punk was a full stop the decade that preceded it, to the | :25:00. | :25:05. | |
second half of the 60, did we need it to end to give us closure? | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
think so, they were the anti- Beatles, priding themselves on that. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
The person that founded Malcolm McLaren, he dreamt of creating The | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
Beatles. The beat lgs started off squeaky clean and they evolved, but | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
the Sex Pistols were the opposite - - Beatles. They went out to shock | :25:25. | :25:31. | |
Middle England. I suppose they do punctuate pop culture. Before Sex | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
Pistols, before punk and after punk. Even though punk's musical legacy, | :25:37. | :25:44. | |
we don't live in a punk musical universe any more... You had the | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
Bay City Rollers then punk, how mad is that? I thought it was very much | :25:48. | :25:53. | |
about the era of do it yourself, you know, sort of these bands very | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
proficient bands who were very good musicians and very good technically | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
and it was almost like being at a board meeting of the band, you know, | :26:03. | :26:12. | |
very, very... Sort of bands like Emmerson and Palmer. You didn't | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
necessarily have to play that well. Do you think it was getting too | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
fancy and people wanted to kill off? It was getting airy-fairy? | :26:21. | :26:28. | |
good way of describing it. Airy- fairy and then punk. The seventies | :26:28. | :26:33. | |
continued on Monday. Back to Angelica, the voice studio and | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
she's collared Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue. All very exciting here. | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
I'm joined by two of the coaches, Danny and Tom. Woo! | :26:42. | :26:49. | |
So excited to meet you both. Very nice to meet you too. Welcome. | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
Welcome to the Voice. This is the first look we have had at the set, | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
the BBC have done themselves proud, it's amazing. When you are here, | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
you are swaying and that's looking like you want to get on stage? | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
unnatural part is that we have to coach the other singers. What tips | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
have you been giving your team? relax more than anything else, not | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
to get uptight. It's hard to say it, but they have to feel that, | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
especially now going live. Exactly. How are you going to feel having to | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
say goodbye to is somebody? That's the hardest part, that's been the | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
hardest part since we started. really hard. Everyone we have seen | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
day in day out, week in week out giving their all for the show and | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
it's really hard to kind of then decide after the UK has voted for, | :27:44. | :27:49. | |
let's say the top three, then Tom's going to have to decide between two | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
people that he fought for to have on his team. I suppose that's the | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
process to find The Voice? Quite right. If it was easy, everyone | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
would be doing it. I would be auditioning. Your team and Jessie | :28:02. | :28:07. | |
J's team are doing a special performance, correct? We'll watch | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
Sir Tom and Will Duke it out on Saturday. To remind everybody, the | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
real team's out there, me and Jessie have put our team through | :28:15. | :28:20. | |
their paces and they'll be doing a special group performance. Can you | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
tell us what song? I can't, sorry, you will have to tune in, no | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
exclusives here. Any rivalry coming in? No, we want the best for our | :28:27. | :28:36. | |
teams, for the singers, so whoever wins, whose ever team wins, I don't | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
think it's as important as coaching them, coaching the people properly | :28:39. | :28:46. | |
and trying to get the best from them. Definitely. Who do you think | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
could win this competition? We have winners amongst our ranks and | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
whoever performs on the day may just walk away with it, everyone | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
has really strong singers, even at this level now. I wouldn't want to | :28:57. | :29:01. | |
put my money on any one person to be honest with you. Thank you so | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
much for talking to us. We'll be chatting to the teams later today. | :29:06. | :29:10. | |
Thank you. Big night for Tom's team and Danny's team tomorrow. And it's | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
live! For the first time on BBC One! Now friends, we have a game | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
for you to play at home and it's called, very simply, Name the Theme | :29:19. | :29:29. | |
:29:29. | :29:30. | ||
Starring the Ronnie Hazlehurst Orchestra. They are about to play | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
three top TV tunes. If you can name them, send us an e-mail and we will | :29:34. | :29:40. | |
not give a prize to anyone because we're not allowed to any more. | :29:40. | :29:50. | |
:29:50. | :30:26. | ||
That is great. Have you got all three answers? Everyone. Have you? | :30:26. | :30:30. | |
Sometimes we get letters from showbiz pals asking to make their | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
dreams come true, like a celebrity Jim'll Fix It. Often they want | :30:34. | :30:37. | |
something ordinary like a fly-on- the-wall documentary series or a | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
centre plate -- centre page spread in Hello magazine. Sometimes they | :30:43. | :30:46. | |
ask for something a little bit special. | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
John Barrowman is famous for his performances on stage and TV, | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
especially as captain Jack in torch would. But as a dog lover, he has a | :30:55. | :31:03. | |
pretty wild ambition, to get up close to a wolf. Why? Having grown | :31:03. | :31:08. | |
up in Scotland and started my life journey there, the fact that Wolves | :31:08. | :31:12. | |
no longer exist in northern Scotland, I think it is something I | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
would like to see maybe them brought back. I have only seen them | :31:16. | :31:22. | |
in films and the Hollywood portrayal. It is not good. I hope | :31:22. | :31:27. | |
to dispel that myth today a little bit. And to come back with all of | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
your limbs intact. I have a plan for that, because if you are with | :31:31. | :31:37. | |
me, I'm throwing you into their jaws and running! By the 18th | :31:37. | :31:41. | |
century, British balls had been hunted to extinction, but today | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
there are some in private collections, rehoused from zoos and | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
wildlife parks. Near the Welsh border, Tony runs Wolf Watch UK, a | :31:50. | :31:55. | |
charity that saves walls which might otherwise have been destroyed. | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
It all started about 30 years ago when myself and a friend visited a | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
zoo in south Warwickshire which was being closed by the local authority. | :32:04. | :32:08. | |
The zoo keeper showed us around and ask what he was doing with the | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
wolves. He said they were not worth anything so they would be put down, | :32:12. | :32:20. | |
and that was how it started. So you saved them? I suppose so. Speaking | :32:20. | :32:25. | |
of them... Although Wolves are part of a canine family, the strength of | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
their bite is reckoned to be twice that of a German shepherd. Listen | :32:30. | :32:40. | |
to that. Some animals, you see them stripping the meat off the bone, | :32:40. | :32:45. | |
but he just chewed right through it. They will eat the whole carcass. | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
Wolves hunt in packs with a strict hierarchy and they will strive for | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
dominance, even in captivity. Tony has Five walls, and it could be too | :32:54. | :32:59. | |
dangerous for us to go into the enclosures with most of them. But | :32:59. | :33:04. | |
one Wolff, Maddy, raised from a PUP, is much more approachable. When you | :33:04. | :33:08. | |
are close, you realise how big they are. From a distance, you think it | :33:08. | :33:14. | |
is like an Alsatian. When you are disclose, the Big ears and the long | :33:14. | :33:19. | |
snout and the big, thick neck. thought I would be more nervous, | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
really. But what about John's desire to see Wolves back in | :33:24. | :33:30. | |
Scotland? It is a topic of much debate. They were natural predator | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
for deer in northern Scotland and they are thinking of reintroducing | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
them into the wild. I like to think it is better to have a natural | :33:37. | :33:41. | |
predator than to have men hunting them all the time. Is that a good | :33:41. | :33:47. | |
thing, or a bad thing for them to be re-released? It is a lovely idea, | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
but if you look at why the animal became extinct and look at what has | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
happened since extinction, and look at what the likely environmental | :33:54. | :33:58. | |
impact would be if you reintroduced it, the idea of putting several | :33:58. | :34:02. | |
packs into an area such as Scotland where there are a lot of sheep and | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
livestock, I do not think it would go down very well. But there is one | :34:07. | :34:10. | |
loud element of their behaviour that John has yet to encounter, | :34:10. | :34:16. | |
which I think is best to experience at night. There are lots of fables | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
about these animals blowing down pigs houses, eating grandmothers, | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
howling at a full moon. They do how all regularly to communicate, and | :34:25. | :34:30. | |
if we are lucky, we might get to do it with them. They do it to warn | :34:30. | :34:35. | |
other packs of their territory, but also to bond with in their group. | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
And it needs one to kick it off. And you, tonight, John, can be that | :34:40. | :34:50. | |
:34:50. | :35:15. | ||
Wolff. Clear your throat. Here we Andrew Lloyd Webber, you need to | :35:15. | :35:22. | |
write a musical for the two of us. That is amazing. What a night. | :35:22. | :35:28. | |
Creepy, magical. The perfect icing on a cake for the perfect day. | :35:28. | :35:38. | |
:35:38. | :35:41. | ||
That musical could become a bit tiresome after 10 minutes. There is | :35:41. | :35:48. | |
not a theme tune there. Bill Bailey, is it true that you went to China | :35:48. | :35:53. | |
to savour owls? Well, I did not go there with the intention of saving | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
owls, that was not the plan. But it happened by accident, really. We | :35:58. | :36:03. | |
were travelling around and we were in Guangdong province in the south, | :36:03. | :36:08. | |
an industrial region, and we wanted to take some pictures. I wanted to | :36:08. | :36:13. | |
show my son about recycling. It is a place where they recycled all of | :36:13. | :36:18. | |
the electronic waste of the world. We got taken to a restaurant. In | :36:18. | :36:22. | |
the lobby there were lots of animals, creatures. You see them in | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
Chinese restaurants - prawns and lobsters. There were other more | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
exotic creatures. Live animals. There was a live Salamander, a | :36:31. | :36:37. | |
giant lizard. There were other various things. There was half a | :36:37. | :36:43. | |
weasel, or something. Various different things, legs and arms. | :36:43. | :36:51. | |
There was a live cormorant, to eat. And live mammals. And an owl. A | :36:51. | :36:57. | |
giant eagle owl in a cage that you could choose to eat. All of those | :36:57. | :37:02. | |
things were on the menu. This is not a joke? It is not a joke. We | :37:02. | :37:09. | |
said, we would like to buy the owl. We thought, we cannot leave it here | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
and we have to set it free. We said we would pay for it. They went, | :37:15. | :37:19. | |
right. I actually think they thought we wanted to have it to | :37:19. | :37:26. | |
take away. "They do not want to eat it here, they want to take it away". | :37:26. | :37:30. | |
So they wrapped it in Sellotape and put it into a box. We took it into | :37:30. | :37:36. | |
the woods and let it go. Were you tempted to pick up anything else? | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
If I could have poured everything, I would have done. How much did it | :37:40. | :37:50. | |
:37:50. | :37:51. | ||
cost? It was 4500 in the Chinese currency, about four on it and �50. | :37:51. | :37:58. | |
We had to do something. -- �450. If you are ever in China and you see | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
an owl, buy it and set it free. to fund a things like this, you | :38:04. | :38:12. | |
have gone on tour. I have. It is called Qualmpeddler. What is a | :38:12. | :38:20. | |
Qualmpeddler? Well, I love the word. It is a fantastic word, qualm. You | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
only ever hear it in plural. You never have one qualm. It is a | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
fantastic word. My grandmother used to use it all the time about | :38:30. | :38:35. | |
everything. She would say, I have qualms about this flam. Or she | :38:35. | :38:42. | |
would say, have qualms about nuclear power. Nervousness, jitters, | :38:43. | :38:49. | |
anxiety. So you are the Qualmpeddler. Yes, indeed. I have | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
favourites, things that you worry about, and then big ones, what is | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
the nature of the universe. And what of those things that you press | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
down and they bounce back up? What are they called. Last night was | :39:02. | :39:06. | |
your first gig of the tour in London. What did you learn from it | :39:06. | :39:12. | |
and what are you leaving Int or taking out? Looks of it seemed to | :39:12. | :39:17. | |
go well. I used a lot of music in the show. I did a bit of the theme | :39:17. | :39:21. | |
tune thing. I did a reggae version of Downton Abbey. That went down | :39:21. | :39:30. | |
well. I did not think it would work, but people seemed to know about it. | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
I talked a little bit about some interesting ideas, cognitive | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
dissonance. Seemingly, people seemed to know what it was. There | :39:39. | :39:44. | |
was a good response. I was surprised, actually. Last summer, | :39:44. | :39:48. | |
you played at Knebworth in front of 66,000 people but you are scaling | :39:48. | :39:53. | |
back. Yes, I am playing venues in the Highlands and Islands of | :39:53. | :39:58. | |
Scotland which added a couple of years ago and it was fantastic. -- | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
I did a couple of years ago. The venues are not on the main touring | :40:03. | :40:06. | |
schedule, so people are very pleased that you are coming. They | :40:06. | :40:12. | |
are really up for it, so it is a good place to try stuff out. | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
Qualmpeddler continues in a sold- out Lancaster, but there are | :40:15. | :40:21. | |
tickets for Carlisle the next day and beyond. What do you call Foodie | :40:21. | :40:31. | |
:40:31. | :40:35. | ||
Friday without Jay? Foodie Friday Almost all of our home-grown | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
asparagus is harder stood between 23rd April and 21st June. The rest | :40:40. | :40:45. | |
of the year, we rely on imports. -- it is harvested. This field is just | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
starting to show signs of life, but rather than waiting for him to wake | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
up, farmers in recent years have developed a way of cheating the | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
seasons. The falling British asparagus plants into growing | :40:58. | :41:04. | |
earlier in poly tunnels like these. Tricking asparagus plants. I have | :41:04. | :41:09. | |
come to this farm of Stephen and David. We planted some crops with | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
heating pipes underneath which warms the soil around the ground | :41:13. | :41:18. | |
early on and gets it going about two weeks earlier than it would do | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
without the heating. Those two weeks are so productive that they | :41:22. | :41:27. | |
provide half of the farm's total asparagus. Extending the season can | :41:27. | :41:31. | |
only be done by starting early. For the good of the plants, the harvest | :41:31. | :41:36. | |
cannot finish late. In June, you have to stop. We have to be careful | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
that we do not cut everything, but that we leave some to grow up and | :41:41. | :41:47. | |
feed the plant the following year. That gives us this date of around | :41:47. | :41:53. | |
Midsummer's day in June, when we stop harvesting. A single bunch of | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
British asparagus can cost �3, but the cost reflects the effort to | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
grow it. It takes around three years to mature. When it eventually | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
produces a crop, the asparagus spears grows so fast that the same | :42:06. | :42:13. | |
plants can be harvested twice a day. It is labour intensive. It is hand | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
harvested and it has to be done carefully so that you do not damage | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
newly emerging Spears when you harvest one. You cannot eat them | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
like that, can you? You can. It is like a sweet pea, so fresh and | :42:26. | :42:36. | |
sweet. Cheers. The first of many. Now it is time to cook the first of | :42:36. | :42:43. | |
this year's crop. North of the farm, chef Paul Gilmour of its my | :42:43. | :42:50. | |
delivery. I come bearing gifts. Wonderful gifts. Are you the right | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
chef to have brought English asparagus for? I would like to say | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
so. I will not cook foreign asparagus. I like them to keep | :43:00. | :43:05. | |
their seasons, and I keep my seasons. But can I taste the | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
difference between imported asparagus and the local crop once | :43:08. | :43:14. | |
they have been cooked? It is the blindfold test. This is the second | :43:14. | :43:24. | |
:43:24. | :43:27. | ||
OK, I know immediately. I think I know. This is the one from the farm. | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
Completely different. It is completely different. I am not just | :43:32. | :43:40. | |
saying that. It is not a patch on the English one. This is just sweet. | :43:40. | :43:46. | |
And he has a tip for me. Cook it for up to two minutes and then stop | :43:46. | :43:52. | |
the cooking process in iced water. Then keep it in a fridge, chilled, | :43:52. | :43:57. | |
dried for up to two days. When you want to repeat it, reheated on a | :43:57. | :44:01. | |
griddle, on a barbecue, even in a little pan of water, if you want. | :44:01. | :44:07. | |
That means it will be perfect all the time. He served me and | :44:07. | :44:13. | |
asparagus extravaganza. Buttered asparagus. Simple, perfect. | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
Asparagus and broad bean risotto with white truffle oil. I think I | :44:17. | :44:22. | |
am having a love affair with asparagus. Grilled trout with | :44:22. | :44:30. | |
asparagus. Delicious. Roast asparagus with beef. You would | :44:30. | :44:32. | |
think the beef would be overpowering, but the asparagus | :44:32. | :44:40. | |
stands up. And finally, poached asparagus with lavender ice-cream. | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
There is an English summer garden party going on in my mouth right | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
now. British asparagus might be available a little longer than we | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
are used to at the minute but you can still only get it in those few | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
months. I think there is something quite appealing about this home- | :44:57. | :45:07. | |
:45:07. | :45:10. | ||
grown wonder not being available Shall we release Rachel? Let's do | :45:10. | :45:16. | |
it. Come on in, Rachel. Thank you. What do you have for us tonight? | :45:16. | :45:21. | |
Well, I have the Battle of The asparagus here, French and English | :45:21. | :45:28. | |
asparagus on the same plate. Anita loved the English one and could | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
tell the difference straightaway. Are you fighting for the French | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
here or English? English. How have you prepared these? Just boiled | :45:37. | :45:43. | |
them and then I've made a little lemon vinaigrette with mint and a | :45:43. | :45:52. | |
French goat's cheese. Shall we pile in? Yes. That's the French one. The | :45:52. | :45:58. | |
white one is French. You'd better just bite into it. I like the | :45:59. | :46:06. | |
French. No problem with the foreign.. It's more delicate in the | :46:06. | :46:13. | |
flavour. It's not too cheeky is it. It's a bit sea cucumber-ish. I have | :46:13. | :46:19. | |
that most nights, love it. released one of those into the wild | :46:19. | :46:24. | |
actually! We have got to talk about your show, | :46:24. | :46:27. | |
Little Paris Kitchen. You have a lovely story about how it came | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
about. What were you doing in Paris? Six years ago I had enough | :46:32. | :46:39. | |
of London, moved to Paris to learn how to bake cakes, studied at Le | :46:39. | :46:46. | |
Cor don Bleu, met some people in the cookery book store where I was | :46:46. | :46:51. | |
working, got a book deal and then an English book deal. Pimp my cook | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
cake is a course. What was that?! Sounds amazing. Parisians didn't | :46:56. | :47:01. | |
know what cup cakes were. Did they know what pimping was? No, either, | :47:01. | :47:05. | |
so it was like do something fun and we are going to take a cup cake and | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
pimp it and people would create these crazy Towers and they don't | :47:09. | :47:14. | |
have icing in Paris and hundreds of thousands, so they went a bit mad. | :47:14. | :47:19. | |
You allow people to eat in your kitchen, that was the whole thing, | :47:19. | :47:29. | |
:47:29. | :47:29. | ||
a one-bedroomed place you lived in. Not even a bedroom. A table for two. | :47:29. | :47:38. | |
People would send me e-mails like, it's my dad's birthday or my | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
honeymoon. Andest test out your recipes on these people. Did you | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
film everything in your own kitchen? Everything, it was insane. | :47:46. | :47:56. | |
:47:56. | :48:03. | ||
Your kitchen was your living room, bedroom, kitchen? Yes. You had to | :48:03. | :48:09. | |
get rid of them to go to bed? get the Hoover out, that would | :48:09. | :48:14. | |
always work. The rehearsals of the biggest show on television - that's | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
official - we are talking about the Voice and she's with ten nervous | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
contestants at Elstree right now. Rehearsals are over and, as | :48:23. | :48:27. | |
promised, I'm with Tom and Will's team! | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
Excellent. You have just been rehearsing, how are you feeling? | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
Really scared, but excited. It's just really good to get out here. | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
It's going to be the live show. Do you think that will have a | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
different feel for you? Yes, it may be a little bit different. We have | :48:43. | :48:46. | |
done it before so you have got to take a little bit of something from | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
that and carry on as best you can reallyment You haven't had a public | :48:51. | :48:56. | |
live vote before have you? Let's be honest, it must raise the stakes a | :48:56. | :49:01. | |
lot, come on? Of course, but you have to stay focused and do what | :49:01. | :49:08. | |
you do. It's very gad to do that, so let's do that. You two are | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
performing together so does it give you an edge? It's good to have | :49:12. | :49:18. | |
someone hold your hand emotionally. Tom, is he a good mentor? Brilliant. | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
He's really good. He has a really Calming Influence on you and pushes | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
you to do well. You guys seem to be gelling but it's getting | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
competitive now, this is Will's team. Are you a bit sad that some | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
people have gone or are you pleased that it's getting smaller? I think | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
it's going to be sad but bitter sweet, we are all here for one | :49:39. | :49:43. | |
thing. Sad it will be but it will be amazing if we can get through | :49:43. | :49:49. | |
the live shows. Has Will given you any top tips? He's good at telling | :49:49. | :49:54. | |
you to be yourself, he's a great mentor, we couldn't ask for more. | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
big yes here? He says stay focused, be yourself and go for it. What do | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
you think you've got that will make you possibly win? I think we love | :50:04. | :50:08. | |
music, you know, we've got the soul, we are ready for this, we just Juan | :50:08. | :50:18. | |
:50:18. | :50:21. | ||
that do Will I am proud. Just wanna do will i am proud. We are all here | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
because we love music and we are all about The Voice and hopefully | :50:25. | :50:28. | |
we can pull out some amazing performances. I'm sure you will. We | :50:28. | :50:34. | |
are all rooting for you and good luck. Make sure you watch The Voice | :50:34. | :50:43. | |
tomorrow on BBC One, 7pm. Go, guys! I'll be there with my swivel chair. | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
People do that at home don't they, people turn round at home, it's | :50:47. | :50:51. | |
amazing. We can vote tomorrow. have some more breaking news. | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
said the repeat of little Paris kitchen is on on Saturday but this | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
week it's a Sunday, so there you are, it's all on iPlayer anyway. | :51:00. | :51:05. | |
Earlier we asked if you could name some classical TV tunes played by | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
our boys here this evening. Here they are again. | :51:09. | :51:19. | |
:51:19. | :51:47. | ||
APPLAUSE Fantastic. All the tunes composed | :51:47. | :51:54. | |
by Ronnie Hazlehurst and his orchestra is there, led by Chris | :51:54. | :52:01. | |
Dean. So the answers to those, Bill, please? Oh, right, I see. Well, | :52:01. | :52:07. | |
Chris, the first one has got to be Generation Game. The second one I | :52:07. | :52:13. | |
thought I knew what it was but then I slightly thought hang on, I got | :52:13. | :52:23. | |
:52:23. | :52:25. | ||
this wrong. Thought it was Reggie Perrin. To the Manor Born. And the | :52:25. | :52:32. | |
Two Ronnies. Billy the Kid, Dave have Darlington, Mark from | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
Sheffield, Bonnie and Malcolm. You all win nothing cos we can't give | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
away anything any more and thank you for joining in. We have a | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
warning for viewers of a nervous disposition. You are about to see | :52:45. | :52:48. | |
the resident hairdresser Michael Douglas in some very fetching and | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
rather tight swimwear, but you know what, he looks all right, gets away | :52:53. | :53:01. | |
with it. For a long time, synchronised swimming was a | :53:01. | :53:04. | |
Cinderella sport, the ballroom dancing of the aquatics world. Back | :53:04. | :53:08. | |
in 1984, that all changed when it became an Olympic sport for the | :53:09. | :53:14. | |
very first time. This is the City of Leeds synchronised swimming club. | :53:14. | :53:22. | |
One of the best young teams in the country. They've recently won | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
silver and bronze medals in the British Championships, so I reckon | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
they are a good set of swimmers to teach me all about the sport. If | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
I'm going to get many the pool with these later, I'd better do some | :53:33. | :53:43. | |
:53:43. | :53:47. | ||
warming up, which is what they are I've only done that for a minute | :53:47. | :53:53. | |
and I'm exhausted. This is Fiona, the coach here at Leeds | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
synchronised swi-sming club. We'll treat you to straight hair today, | :53:56. | :54:02. | |
yes? Started at seven, went through to the age of 20, but then got into | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
the judging side. Judging other people, I like that. And I'm one of | :54:06. | :54:14. | |
the Great Britain judges. Where are the men swimmers? It's very female | :54:14. | :54:19. | |
dominated, but there are a few. It's one sport where men can't | :54:19. | :54:24. | |
compete in the Olympics. Is there a move when they come out and spit | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
water out? No, the highest girls are training with us 17 hours a | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
week. They are dedicated then aren't they? Yes, it's what you | :54:31. | :54:38. | |
need. One, two, three, take a look. Wow! Is that a real wow or ooh, are | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
you happy? Yeah, no, very happy. She's happy! | :54:42. | :54:49. | |
Can I go swimming now? Come on. Can't wait. All I need is some | :54:49. | :54:59. | |
:54:59. | :55:11. | ||
goggles, a nose clip, earplugs, oh, That sit. Extend your legs out. | :55:11. | :55:18. | |
So, this is Jessica. Jessica is one of the team captains of the | :55:19. | :55:26. | |
synchronised club. Why did you do it? I was constantly swimming so I | :55:26. | :55:32. | |
was told to go for it. Smile. Teach me that. How long can you hold your | :55:32. | :55:36. | |
breath for? A minute and a half. tried to hold my breath yesterday, | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
27 seconds was all I could do, it felt like a year. One, two, three. | :55:40. | :55:45. | |
Oh, wow, yeah, really different. Really happy, thank you. She's | :55:45. | :55:55. | |
:55:55. | :55:59. | ||
It's pretty impressive on the water, but there's an awful lot going on | :55:59. | :56:08. | |
underneath. This is the lovely Megan, a fellow | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
synchronised swimmer. I can say that now because I've had a go, you | :56:12. | :56:17. | |
know, Superman wears trunk, Batman wears trunks, the Hairman wears | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
trunks, we are all superheroes fighting crimes of some description, | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
mine are just against hair. How much time do you spend in the water | :56:23. | :56:28. | |
a week? 20 hours. Does that have any adverse effect? It dries your | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
skin out and you get chlorine burn. I've got a bit on my cheek. | :56:32. | :56:35. | |
thought you were just blushing because I was in my trunks. Take a | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
look. Oh, wow. You like it? Yes, thank you. It's a pleasure, my | :56:40. | :56:44. | |
darling. I honestly thought this would be easy, it's one of the most | :56:44. | :56:49. | |
exhausting things I've ever done. It's like walking through treacle | :56:49. | :56:57. | |
or something. Thanks, Michael. Good luck girls. Earlier on, we asked | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
you to stick your hand down your sofa and send us a picture of what | :57:01. | :57:07. | |
you found. This is Ben aged eight with his sister. He found his | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
sister's necklace down the back of the sofa and it was a special gift | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
for her as she'd had heart surgery last year so we are really glad. | :57:14. | :57:18. | |
Thought she lost it and because of the One Show she found it. From | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
Nick and Susan, must be mum and dad. A ball of hair found by Sam aged | :57:24. | :57:30. | |
eight from Hemel Hempstead half an hour ago sent in by Alison. This is | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
from Richard. This is Phoebe Vaughan with our sofa content. So, | :57:34. | :57:38. | |
it's a penny and a pen. Quite useful. This is poppy aged five | :57:39. | :57:44. | |
with a little penny she found. have another penny here, my dad was | :57:44. | :57:52. | |
happy with his find from Nena. Seven-year-old, from Karen, Alfie | :57:52. | :57:58. | |
found this down the arm chair. That's a result. Looking for a | :57:58. | :58:05. | |
penny, already up on the deal finding 20p. Keep it. Thanks to our | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
guests. You can find Bill's tour coming up soon, he's off for a meal | :58:09. | :58:13. | |
with the family tonight. See you on Monday when Matt Le blank joins us | :58:13. | :58:22. | |
in the studio. Take it away, boys - - Matt Le Blanc. | :58:22. | :58:32. | |

A huge manhunt's taking place in North East England for a suspected | :58:43. | :58:47. | |
double killer. James Allen knew one of the victims. Both died from head | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
injuries. Police have urged him to give himself up. | :58:49. | :58:53. |
