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.

: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

someone hold your hand emotionally. Tom, is he a good mentor? Brilliant.

: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.

: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.
:58:32.:58:43.

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.
