27/11/2013 The One Show

I'm great, how are you? I am excited, who else is on? We have

Miranda Hart. She always tries to kiss me.

Don't worry, we have the situation under control. She can't come back

tomorrow? Let me out! He follows me everywhere! Backoff, Gary!

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. We

are joined by two of the nicest people in showbiz. They are both

here tonight, Moran do Hart and Gary Barlow!

APPLAUSE -- Miranda Hart.

How are you? You are happy to be sitting closely? You have known each

other for ages. We love each other, we really do. There is a bit of

history, because you have been there, so to speak. Steady on. You

can't play that! This is when Miranda snogged Gary. Mr Gary

Barlow... I lingered! Were you expecting that?

You never mention the long bit. I said I would have to kiss you but I

didn't explain I needed to linger! What we would like you to do, in X

Factor style, is to judge Gary's snogged ability. I thought you gave

110%. And you can come to my snogged boot camp.

Gary, you are not here to just chat. You are going to be treated to a

beautiful performance of this man, Petr Spatina.

HE PLAYS The One Show THEME. He has got something very special.

That was incredible. I love that. Firstly, the Battle for Britain's

streets. The death of six cyclists in two weeks has raised the

question, how safe is it to pedal through our busy cities. Justin

Rowlatt has been to see what happens when lorry drivers and cyclists see

the road through each other's eyes. This is the subject of The One Show

vote tonight. Cycling can be a very quick way to

get around a city but it can also be dangerous.

14 cyclists have been killed in London this year. Six of the deaths

have been in the past few weeks. Many cyclists have taken to the

street, calling for the roads to be made safer. Earlier this month

Claire Pepper was cycling home when her bike was in a collision with a

car, which had to be lifted off her by passers-by. I don't fully

remember what happened. The CCTV apparently shows I went on of the

car and ended up underneath it. -- I went onto the bonnet of the car. I

have been told there was an off-duty trauma nurse who luckily happen to

be passing, and he said at that point I didn't have a pulse. Will

you get back on a bike? Yes, I will, in my high viz, I will definitely be

wearing a new helmet. Clare's collision was with a car but of the

14 deaths in London this year, nine involve HGVs, prompting calls for

law is to be banned in the city centre during rush hour, as they

already are in Paris. Lorries often hit bikes when they are turning

left. Drivers pulled to the right to give themselves room to turn, the

cyclist goes along the inside, and the turning lorry hits the cyclist

before the driver has even seen them. If you are a driver, you will

know how much you can miss even when you are looking carefully. It is

much worse for lorry drivers. The vehicle is bigger, and so is the

blind spot. How are you doing? It is nice and high rpm.

Andy has been driving HGVs for four years and says some cyclists have a

lot to answer for. I have seen some crazy cyclists on the road. Jumping

red lights, earphones in. Popping to music as they are riding along. The

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, is trembling recycling budget over the

next three years, to ?400 million -- trebling the cycling budget. He told

one radio programme, if cyclists don't follow the rules then no

amount of traffic engineering can save lives. Cyclists argue that the

road network is badly designed and cycle lanes often run out without

warning, leaving them and their bikes amongst the rest of the

traffic. Julie is a regular London cyclist. EU have an issue with HGV

drivers? -- do you have an issue? They need to be aware that there

could be cyclists on the inside and look really carefully. Julie and

Andy are going to swap places, Julie is getting the lorry and Andy is

going on the bike. I have had times when I have caught cyclists holding

onto the back of the lorry. You are kidding. It is bonkers. Madness. Is

there any part of that side of the lorry that you consequence to --

that you can't see? I can't see down here. It is often where cyclists

wait at traffic lights. What is he going to do? Where has he got to go?

What would you do in that situation? What do you do? There is a cycle

lane there, it seems to say, come up this side. He has now gone through

the red light. It is a lesson in what not to do as he and Julie get

into the saddle. And even when their ardour dictated

cycle lanes, it doesn't always make life easier. -- when there are

dedicated cycle lanes. The problem is parking in the cycle lanes. There

is a bus coming behind. It is just crazy. He is pulling right back into

the cycle lane. Have they learned anything? We can all be more patient

with cyclists, there are a lot of factors. The wind was pretty strong,

for example. What about the HGVs? They are big, the buses are big. I

will definitely move further forward at traffic lights. Get out of the

blind spot, absolutely. I will never go up on the inside of an HGV, even

if there is a cycle lane there that makes it look safe. Will it change

your behaviour? I think it will. We can learn to be more patient. The

road is for all users and we want to keep it safe for everybody.

Thanks to both for taking part. We are going to talk about this in a

bit of detail tonight. Is it more dangerous these days to cycle on the

roads than it used to be? There have been a spate of deaths in London but

the number of deaths has not risen that much, and a number of people

cycling has risen enormously. If you look at the averages, it has

actually got a lot safer. In 2002 one cyclist was killed for every 19

million miles ridden. In 2012, one cyclist for every 12 million miles.

Car passengers, deaths have fallen 47%, pedestrians have also fallen

47%. One would have hoped that cycle accident would have fallen in the

same proportion. Safety for cyclists is a hot topic. What measures are

being proposed? All sorts of things. Training for motorists and cyclists.

You used to BMX? In my heyday! Miranda, you cycle in London? I

understand occasionally you jump the odd red light. We do our research! I

am a bit of a London cyclist sometimes. You realise now that you

have got to respect the road. One of the things is education, it might

address some of your issues. The problem is, how do you for cyclists

to do it? They are saying maybe cyclists should have a number plate

and that you have to do a bit of cycle training. Cyclists say, we

should not be blamed for these accidents, they are the fault of the

HGVs. Boris says you should not have headphones in. There is a lot of

talk about improving cycle lanes. What ideas have been proposed on the

HGV side? There was a safety summit in London with Chris Boardman, the

Olympic gold medal winning cyclist. For example, blind spot mirrors can

be installed to stop the problem with cyclist being on the left when

you turn, audible warnings for cyclists can be brought in. If you

look at this Thames water vehicle, there are these bars that stop

cyclists going under the wheels. It is quite a simple thing that you can

do to HGVs to make them safer for the Chris Boardman says, why don't

we ban HGVs from city centres at peak times. Stop them going into

cities at peak times, it would solve the problem. But you end up with

more smaller vehicles that still have blind spots. The HGVs have

particulars problems with blind spots. They are bigger and heavier.

The haulage companies say, not a good idea. It is an important

service for Britain. The vessels of the British economy. Let's ask the

viewers. Should heavy goods viewers be banned from British city centres

during rush hour? All will be revealed at 7:40pm when

the vote closes. The viewers will speak and it will be right. Whenever

the viewer speaks, it is always right. Someone, somewhere, is over

the moon at being the new owner of this. It is a complete, 55 foot long

dinosaur skeleton, the first one ever sold in the UK, which was

auctioned a few hours ago. I love an auction. Do you like an auction? I

don't trust myself, I would just get excited and do that! We sent the not

so fearsome Tuffersaurus to find out how you buy a dinosaur.

150 million years old, rebuilt by hand, one previous owner. For the

first time ever, here in the UK, a large dinosaur will be going under

the hammer. It goes by the name of Misty. At 17 metres long, five

metres tall and containing almost 100 fossils, Misty is a truly

spectacular diplodocus. She was excavated from a quarry in the USA

by German palaeontologist in 2009. Amazingly it was his children who

found it, while he was digging in a well-known boneyard, they went off

to play nearby. Later that day, they announced they had found a huge

bone. Errol Fuller is curator of the auction that are putting these bones

under the hammer. The man that dug it up is a friend of mine. I rang

him up and said, have you got anything that would be suitable for

the sale for the P said, I have got it diplodocus, do you fancy that? We

spent a whole day putting it back together into the form you see it

now. How does this specimen compare with others, say the one in the

Natural History Museum? The famous one in the Natural History Museum is

a cast, made out of plaster foot of it is not real, a plaster cast of

two different animals. Much of this is original. Not everyone thinks

prehistoric fossils should be sold at auction. When a fossil get sold

at auction, there is the possible to you could end up in a row that

collection. As a scientist, it is quite frustrating. The bones of

diplodocus are quite rare. In this case, 40% of the skeleton has been

excavated, and that makes this a rather important find. In an ideal

world, all of these fossils would be accessible for people to see. For

most auctions, prospective buyers get a chance to look around and see

what they would be bidding on. But who wants to buy this 17 metre

sauropod? What is a sauropod? James Rylands will be the auctioneer.

Every home needs a dip in the course -- a diplodocus but I am prepared to

admit that she won't fit into most laces. What kind of person will buy

this? It will probably go to an institution, or possibly a nice, big

public space like a shopping mall. I would like it to go somewhere where

she will be seen by members of the public, and appreciated. How do you

put a price on a dinosaur? In Europe, no other dinosaur like this

has been sold before. Quite a few years ago there was a Tyrannosaurus

rex, which is the iconic dinosaur that everybody knows. One of those

fetched over $8 million. We are thinking ours is a bit more gentle,

a lot bigger. Give us a number, how much do you reckon she will go for?

Anything over ?400,000. She is 150 million years old, and you think

what is that, 1p a year, that would be nice as well. And, sold! How much

did it sell for? Lets go and see what happened a few

hours ago. Bidders on my left, it is a standing bid at ?400,000. ?400,000

and sold for ?400,000. This thank you. ?400,000? ! It went to an

unnamed public dilution, apparently. Where would you put one? I'm sure

they can spend that on a dinosaur they will have somewhere.

Ridiculous, I say! It is known as a diplodocus. That is the

pronunciation. It it is good to know because I say it all the time! Gary,

Since I Saw You Last, your new album was out on Monday. Is this all new

material? I started the record in January this year. It is all music I

started this year. I am very excited. It has been 14 years since

your last solo album. What went wrong then? It was a funny time for

me. I had all the success with Take That. I had quite a successful solo

record, the second one was not as successful. It sold about in total

nine copies. It was extremely good at that time but nowadays people

look back on it and it is not such a celebration. Eight of them were mine

will stop the other one was my mother. Time is not so good, lost a

lot of confidence, but coming back this time, I have had six years with

Take That and it has helped you get to a place where I feel like I can

write music by myself. Was that the turning point? Definitely was. We

had not been on stage for eight or nine years and to get back on stage

in front of the big crowd, it was incredible. I think I can speak for

Miranda and I that we were delighted when you got back together. Where

were you, Miranda, when they first split up in 1996? There was a melt

down across the country. I would have been... Ten. I was at

university. I think we are the same age. I was quite fanatical about

Take That. It is weird meeting someone and you think you should be

60, that is acceptable for my fanaticism. I was at university and

there was all the hype. Is the title a nod back to all the things which

have happened to you. It is such a story. From beginning to an end, I

thoroughly enjoyed listening to it. I was on tears on the way in

listening to it. Always, as a songwriter I think what you are

trying to do is write what is in your heart and what is in your head.

Trying to write other people's lives as well. If it has happened to me

and I feel it, surely it has happened to someone else out there.

Those connections are Lee important. And you have got a thank you for

Elton as well for sticking by you with Face To Face. He's one of those

people will look up to all stop he has been through the highs and the

lows. He always takes a massive interest in people who are on a bit

of a downturn. He has been a great friend of mine. Luckily for me,

after all these years, we have recorded a duet. It was brilliant.

The day I had with him was incredible. It is one of those days

when you get home you think, did that happen to me? It is the second

single which will be released from the album. This is Face To Face.

Standing side-by-side, but the past behind us, I can't take your place

when we are face-to-face... APPLAUSE That was a real video. Nowadays

people record duets and they do not even meet. But we were recording the

video and doing the vocals at the same time. Another great friend of

yours, Robbie, is releasing his album. He said he hates you sell a

million but he would like to sell a million and one. It is good to have

that rivalry but you play each other's albums to each other?

Definitely, we are always sending each other our music. You wrote a

track on my record and I wrote a track on his. We are still very

competitive, let me set that straight. It comes from a place of

love. But it is healthy. And there are plans for 2014 for Take That?

Definitely, we will get back into the studio next year and hopefully

an album for next Christmas. Hurry up! Will Robbie be part of the

line-up? I hope so. We will sit down in January and see how we feel. I

really enjoyed the album. There are hundreds of selfless

animal lovers working in wildlife sanctuaries and visitor centres

across the UK. But as a shocking case recently proved, one charlatan

can destroy decades of hard work. Here is our Miranda with the story.

The International Cente for Birds of Prey in Neuadd, Gloucestershire,

houses some of Europe's rarest and most exotic birds in captivity. This

is the epicentre of conservation for birds of prey in Britain. 65 species

from all over the world have been successfully bred here. Five years

ago, things changed dramatically for the birds which were housed here.

Jemima Parry Jones runs the centre like her father did. He and my

mother said let's start a place where we can teach people about

birds of prey and learn about them and also learn how to do falconry

without doing birds any sort of damage. Falconry here at Newent is

in Jemima's blood. In 2004 when she was asked to run a birds of prey

Centre in the US, it was a difficult decision for her to sell up. But she

took a leap and sold the family business. She sold it to successful

businessman Keith Bevan. What did it feel like to hand it over to someone

else? It was huge. It was an enormous decision to take. I had

lived in the house since I was 17. But for years later, homesick she

returned to the UK and found the centre up for sale. She bought it

back from Bevan but what she discovered shocked. To be honest, I

had not really looked around when I bought it back. Then I started to

look around the following day. I heart sank and I thought, good lord,

there is so much work to do here. Bevan had let the centre go to ruin

with the aviaries in Delap rated condition dashmack dilapidated

condition. He had put the name of the Centre at risk by trading

illegally in birds of prey. Andy McWilliam from the National wildlife

crime unit first came whereof Bevan in 2010. We were alerted to some

black kites up in Durham. The paperwork was issued to Keith Bevan.

The discovery was enough to prompt an investigation. The black kites

were the first birds Bevan had sold illegally with the centre's

paperwork. For decades, the centre had been loaned birds on trust from

zoos all over the world for conservation and education. Devon

realised these birds were a commodity he could sell. -- Bevan

realised. He realised he could sell. Fire macro they are working

towards conservation of the species and all of a sudden, Keith Bevan was

in the middle of this community. Making a quick buck? Absolutely,

total betrayal of their trust. Over the course of the next two years the

investigation into Keith Bevan stretched across eight countries and

involved a paper trail from dozens of zoos right across the world,

ultimately leading to the uncovering of one of the most serious cases in

the UK of trade of birds of prey. Not only was he illegally selling

birds of prey when he owned the centre, he continued the activity

even after Jemima had bought the centre back. Two hawk owls came from

the Czech Republic on loan. Those birds arrived in the UK. He

collected them from Heathrow. The following day he sold them. A couple

of days later he e-mailed and said how well the birds have settled down

here at you went. In June 2011, Gloucestershire Police executed a

search warrant at Bevan's address where e-mails and paperwork were

retrieved. He was arrested on suspicion of prohibited sale of red

birds and fraud. -- their birds. He was given an 18 month sentence and

?60,000 fine. To work in a place like this, you have got to have

passion. You have to really love it. I do not think Keith Bevan ever had

that passion. By choosing to be used the trust of the bird of prey

community, he not only cheated people who care about conservation

but he put the future of these beautiful birds in peril. Thank you,

Miranda and we wish Jemima all the luck in the world with the newly

restored national centre birds of prey.

Our jaws dropped when we heard you are releasing a fitness video of all

things. Where did this idea come from? Came from series three of my

sitcom when the Miranda character decided that if she was going to do

fitness it would be maracas. And then we thought, seriously, this is

quite a fun idea. I hate the notion that we all feel like we have to go

to the gym or go jogging and look a certain way. It is best to move

about so why not have fun. Look at me, I could not be happier. It is

called Maracattack, which is a brilliant title and you have devised

signature moves to go on your first work-out DVD. Let's have a look at

the crazy crap. That is a classic. There we go. -- crazy crap but.

We will ease into the Hawaiian. I did this this morning but I did the

high impact version and I am feeling it. This is the beginning of the

cardio. And then we move on. This is another classic.

In all seriousness, because you are using the maracas, it does raise

your heart rate so it is a proper work-out. Had you got maracas in

your house? Yes. I had to use a tin of beans. Eight years on Blue Petr

you have all sorts of things. You can do the high impact or the low

impact. Do you do it every morning? Not every morning. After I filmed it

I thought I would not do it again. I got fed up with it. But then I came

back in and I started doing it. 20 minutes goes really quickly and you

have done a work-out and had some fun. Gary, Maracattack, yes or no? I

am into it. You have got a whole repertoire there. Actually, that

Face To Face would be good with maracas. Two double product. You may

have heard the kerfuffle downstairs because we have decided that your

DVD to the test and we have gathered a motley crew of maraca maniacs and

Lucy is doing it right now. We are going great guns down here. We have

the DVD on screen. We have every type of fitness fanatic you could

want. We had cheerleaders, wrestlers, hockey players and

footballers. Who are you? I am if Louise will stop would you'd

normally do this exercise? This morning I was at the gym working

out. Who are you? I am a professional wrestler. Is this

helping you? When I am in the ring I will shake someone's throat like

frackers. That is scary! Do you have to be physically fit if you are a

bar work her? Yes. Carry on because Gary and Miranda will judge the best

in show and when we come back later they will be presenting the Golden

Maracas! Good effort, Lucy, we look forward to seeing more Barack is

-- look forward to seeing more maracas action later. We will see

quite a lot on television and Christmas over the New Year. There

is a live concert on New Year's Eve. Absolutely, on BBC One, right across

midnight. You are playing until midnight and a bit afterwards to

ease us into 2014. It actually reminds me of my social club days. I

used to work on Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve, they were opportunities

for shows. When I was asked to get involved in something over the New

Year, I thought, this is great. An hour of live music across New Year's

Eve. Sadness that there is no Miranda Christmas special. Not this

year. But good news, there is a programmatic special. And Chummy is

a new mummy. How is that going? It is good, she is a sweet mum. It is

hard acting with the babies. Is it right that you filmed this Christmas

stuff during the summer? During one of our hottest summers. Tweeds and

tights. Perfect! You are doing the David Walliams Christmas special,

Gangsta Granny. I play Linda and I am wife to David, who plays Mike.

That is our mother-in-law, Julie McKenzie, and our son. She sort of

henpecked Staveley. Why we haven't played husband and wife yet, I will

never know -- sort of Pentax David. --

this is then settling down to a night in front of Strictly.

Please rip the cellophane off. With pleasure. Saturday night has begun!

Mum. Sheesh, it has started. It is only the titles. Well, there is a

teaser. Isn't it wonderful? Not only have you had a little kiss with Gary

but you get used Robbie Williams in this one. What is going on? -- he

gets to snog. I don't know if I can say what he is playing. I can? He is

playing Flavia, one of the Strictly presenters who I am slightly

obsessed with. I hope you are not upset. I was just the rehearsal,

clearly. We will change the subject. There is still a few minutes left to

take part in our vote on cycling safety.

How easy is it to make music with just a wine glass? We have two

wineglasses here. Miranda, Wood July to give it a go? -- would you like

to give it a go? Nothing. Gary has gone for different water, that could

be it. Oh! Gary! That is incredible, and coincidently, we are going to be

hearing from glass maestro Petr Spatina. He is playing at the same

time, remarkable. Before that, composer Richard Mainwaring trying

to create his own glassical Orchestra.

If you have ever run your fingers around the edge of a glass to

produce a musical note, you are not alone. You will know it is not as

easy as it looks, but one man has made a living out of it.

World-renowned glass played Jamie Turner. In the 1980s this was

prime-time entertainment. 20 years later, can I revive a dying art?

There is something appealing from making music from everyday objects

and glass has the ability to produce a sound which is almost celestial. I

want to turn this into something grander, I want to create a piece of

glassical music. I want to understand the instrument which

means meeting a scientist in a bathroom with my violin. As I move

my finger around the rim of the glass, it is alternately slipping

and sticking. It is creating vibrations. If you create a note on

your violin, it is acting the same principle. It is alternately

sticking and slip to the string. How do I get that sound out of a glass?

The vibrations created by your finger vibrate the glass and they

build up to create the tone which creates sound waves that travel to

your ear. Time do have a go. What about heart of Glass by Blondie?

That is a bit fast. Let's try water music by Handel.

No, it's too compensated. How about something more dramatic like the

theme from Jaws -- a bit too complicated.

Not quite. I think I have found the perfect piece and the perfect venue

in which to play glassical music. A wine merchants. Home to not just

wine bottles but glasses, and a group of wine enthusiasts. This

seller will provide the perfect acoustic. My volunteers are more

used to drinking out of glasses but do they have the skills to play

them? Are you musical? I am not very musical. You will be fine, you only

need to play one note. You are almost there. Someone is getting it.

I have just three hours to whip them into shape. The whining easy acids

are arranged into three tables and each has a note to perfect -- the

wine infused the assets -- enthusiasts are arranged.

Fantastic! A very good effort. A very good

effort from the wine bar Orchestra. My jaw feels a bit weird! We saw

Jamie Turner in the film but it is time to meet another class act, this

is Petr Spatina. I can't shake his hand. Peter has

flown in from Vienna for tonight's performance and you have prepared

something very special for Gary Barlow. I will give you some room.

Gary, come and have a look at this. HE PLAYS "RULE THE WORLD" BY TAKE

THAT. APPLAUSE

A room full of sadness. Wow, amazing. You must be a musician

to be able to play this. Yes, he definitely is a musician. He plays

piano and accordion. He said to me earlier, if there was ever a song

written for this, it was that. I was thinking about it as we wrote that

song! You may be interested to know that Petr has recorded an album,

Goodwater Classics, which is out now. Thank you so much. How good was

that? Just to let you know, the vote is now closed, don't text because

you may be charged. This is Dan Snow with a story of a submarine disaster

which took place just weeks before the start of the Second World War.

This is Birkenhead, the proud centre of a long shipbuilding tradition. In

1939, a submarine left the shipyards for a series of tests. But the sea

trials ended in tragedy and it became the worst submarine disaster

in the history of the Royal Navy. Professor Eric Grove is a naval

historian. This was a big occasion. There were senior officers from the

submarine service, there were even two caterers who had come to do the

celebratory buffalo. There were 103 men on board. -- but -- buffet. A

standard method for submarines to do this was to let water into the

torpedo tubes. What went wrong? When they tried to dive the submarine she

would not go down and attention was placed on the forward torpedo tubes.

Lieutenant Woods went to investigate. The usual way of doing

this was to open up a pipe connected to the torpedo tube. If water ran

out, the tube was flooded. He opens the little pipe, nothing comes out.

The tube must be empty. He should have double checked, used something

like this to push it through, to see if the pipe was blocked. In the

event, it was blocked. They painted it and part of it had covered the

other end of the pipe. This is a flooding torpedo tube at the torpedo

officer does not know it. He opens the torpedo tube and in Rush is a

mass of water. Part of the submarine fills up and the submarine dies to

the bottom, uncontrollably. Rescue by the Navy was only a final resort.

Among the men faced with this prospect was Stoker Walter Arnold.

They were so deep that they could not get out of the depth. They had

to spend the night trying to get some rest and trying to conserve the

limited oxygen they had left. By the morning, part of the submarine had

risen to the surface, because the men had worked overnight and managed

to pump fuel out, making the stern lighter. Rescue boats and newsreel

crews conveyed on the scene. Boats hope to pick up survivors as they

rise through the water. On board, the crews' condition was

deteriorating. The carbon dioxide made them sleepy, lethargic, ill.

Two men managed to escape but four died. Walter Arnold was next in line

together with one of the civilians on board. He was facing a dilemma,

either stay and be dead in the next hour or try and go and be dead in

the next five minutes. If he was going to die he wanted to die

fighting it. They made an escape. They were the last ones to come out.

The Navy had already alerted the families of the crew. They could not

understand why the rescuers did not cut the men free from the submarine.

Do you boreholes is that there has been some controversy. Some people

said they should have done that immediately but we know from

documents that was a last resort. After all, it is 1939, there is a

crisis with Germany, do you want to ruin one of your newest submarines?

Perhaps not. As the tide rose, the submarine sank again. 99 men

perished. The decision not to send for cutting gear is being questioned

still today. But the enquiry cleared the rescue mission of any blame. If

they had been the normal ship 's company on board there would have

been sufficient time for a decision to be taken to do with oxyacetylene

cutters or something. It looks bad in retrospect but it was

understandable at the time. Because the disaster happened just before

the outbreak of the Second World War, the British public soon forgot

about the loss of the Thetis. But for the people around here, the

family and friends, they never forgot the series of errors which

led to the death of the 99 men will stop.

I cannot imagine what it would have been like to be down there.

Miranda, your dad was a commanding officer in the Royal Navy. He was

the captain of a ship which went down in the Falklands. You were only

about ten. What are you remember about that time? Not very much. My

mum shielded most of it from us. Look, there is a picture. A 70s

haircut there. And Gary, speaking of military stuff, you have spent some

time in Afghanistan at Camp Bastion. That is for a new

documentary, is it? Yes, it is on the 14th. I went out there for a few

days. The idea of the show was to give them an hour off to enjoy

themselves, sing some songs and I make a band. I made a band out of

the soldiers. How was it? They were amazing! We featured each of the

people throughout the show. We were there for about an hour. We had a

ball. We read you were really nervous but what was it like when

you were there? Was it a safer environment? I felt very safe.

Everyone could not do enough for us. Like I say, the show itself, it was

well worth the wait. We tried to do it over two nights but it kept

getting cancelled. We had a sandstorm one night, then a security

alert. It felt like it would never happen but on the final night we got

on stage and it all worked. There are some real moments in the

documentary. You are chatting and then an emergency alarm goes off.

Are gradually moving that wasteful stop -- we are gradually moving that

way. There is an emergency somewhere out

on the field. Clearly, someone needs help somewhere. We are at war. It is

that moment when obviously you are therefore music and creating this

band but at the drop of a hat the lads are there for a reason. And

there were little reminders like that throughout the trip. We were

taking a bit of fun there but they are working and obviously doing a

very serious job. It was an amazing experience. There are some

incredible people out there who will stay with me for life. We can see

that on the 14th of December. We are nudging towards the X factor final.

Quite a few strong singers this year like Sam Bailey. Everyone is talking

about Sam. Rough Copy is a strong contender. How much chance do you

think there is for them to get to the final? At this stage of the

competition anyone could get to the final. It changes week on week. We

have got to get it right every weekend but fingers crossed for the

boys. They are lovely guys and we hope they will do well. And with you

mentoring them you cannot go wrong. On Saturday morning it must be like,

here we go everyone! I always say we get a Saturday night out every week

and I am in the chair that everyone wants to sit in. But for the last

year because you have said you are moving on after this year. Three

years is plenty! Who would you like to sit in your seat after you? I

don't know. Everyone is guessing that Simon is coming back. I think

it would be great for the show full lock we have got Mrs Owen on Friday.

You will have a ball. Time to host our own talent competition

downstairs with our maraca fanatics. We will change the music.

Miranda, if you reach behind the sofa, you will see some headphones.

Put them on and you are in control of the One Show cameras. I cannot

hear anything! We need you to pick a winner. Go searching with the

camera. Just shout the best when you see it. Lucy, if you are ready, it

get her attacking. We are calling this the maraca factor.

OK, Miranda, where do you want to go? I like her. And pink wig. Very

good. I like it. I need more movement. Keep going, round YouGov.

Where is the rest lead, he is good. That is brilliant. Mr Orange

maracas, go! I like his maracas, if you will pardon the expression. Mr

Orange maracas is the winner. There is your sash, it has been emotional,

back to you. Thank you to Lucy and Mr maracas

2013. That is good. Now, Gary, you will be singing for us at the end of

the shows so you go and get ready. That is nearly it for this evening.

Earlier, we were talking about cycling safety and asked you to vote

on whether heavy goods vehicles should be banned from city centres

during rush hour. Justin is here with the results will stop what have

they said, yes or no? Very close. 49% yes and 51% said no. So leave

them as they are, just. We have got some e-mails. We will just read some

e-mails and be right with you! One man says I cycle with a high

visibility jacket and lights but I have still been hit. Everyone says

cyclists are to blame but there are bad drivers. Dan says I'm a cyclist

but learning my Job -- HGV test at the moment. One thing that is

drummed into us is cyclists, cyclists, cyclists. Before we go, we

would like to talk to you about your tour, Miranda. You announced you

would be touring in 2014. I am doing some secret warm up gigs at the

moment. Tickets are still available for next spring. The tour starts at

the end of February. What is the feel of it. It is hilarious! Are you

taking your maracas with you. I might do. It is stand-up. There

might be some dancing, who knows? It will be a camp riot. Do you think

you will be more nervous than doing the sitcom or Call The Midwife? We

do the sitcom in front of an audience so there is less pressure

because you are not doing a TV show. And people pay to see you! Gary, are

you ready? Stand-by. Miranda, good luck. Tomorrow we will be joined by

the fastest hamster on for years, Richard Hammond from Top Gear. But

now here is Gary singing an acoustic version of Let Me Go.

# A room full of sadness. # A broken heart.

# And only me to blame. # For every single part.

# No Science or Religion. # Could make this whole.

# To be loved, but never loved. # To have, but never hold.

# It's a life alone, and a desperate need.

# To be held to be loved so. # This is gonna take a bit of getting used

to, but I know what's right for you. # Fly high and Let Me Go. # That sky

will save your soul. # When you pass by then you'll know.

# That this gonna take a bit of getting used to but I know what's

right for you. # Let Me Go.

# A head full of madness. # And no where safe.

# When tears aren't big enough, and love turns into hate.

# It's a life alone, and a desperate need.

# To be held to be loved so. # That this gonna take a bit of

getting used to but I know what's right for you. # Fly high and Let Me

Go. # That sky will save your soul. #

When you pass by then you'll know. # That this is gonna take a bit of

getting used to, but I know what's right for you.

# So Let Me Go, life will get better.

# Find the love I never gave ya. # I know you lie there waiting all night

long, so find where you belong. # Fly high and Let Me Go.

# That sky will save your soul. # Fly high and Let Me Go. # That sky

will save your soul. # But this is gonna take a bit of

getting used to but I know what's right for you Let Me Go.
