29/10/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones. And Angellica Bell.

We are joined by the actress who married a king and became the Queen

of grazed. Please welcome Priscilla Presley. -- Queen of Graceland.

Great to see you again. You are back in the UK, doing panto. It is a

great chance for you to see your daughter and grandchildren is. Yes,

if they come! They are still in the States. They are excited that I am

doing panto, it is Aladdin this time. They came to see me when I was

doing snow-white and the 7 dwarfs. They came four times. They have been

begging to come and see me. They are trying to work it out. We will see.

This is a random question. But... Is there any room in grey slant for a

little piece of pottery? Well, we will make some room. We will make a

room for rate. Not a room, but some room. We have got a picture of a

room in Graceland here. We were thinking maybe on the mantelpiece?

Or on the dresser behind? The cream one? That will be nice. Let's take a

look first. Don't want to speak too soon. Luckily, Sara Cox is here to

tell us about her new show, The Great British Pottery Throw Down. We

have got Adam, Pip and Stuart in from the studio. Welcome to The One

Show. Are you going to make a fabulous creation? Something

special. Welcomer your pottery will be union Graceland. That pottery

looks very familiar from something I think I was in... We have got the

clip! Why did I have a feeling... They are going to make something fit

for Graceland. They have got 20 minutes. So, potters, it... One for

the money, two for the show, three to get ready... And they are off.

Hopefully they will come up with something nice. I hope so. I'll keep

my fingers crossed. We like to think of the UK as green and pleasant but

the truth is it looks like we are going to run out of trees. Trish

Adudu went to Scotland to investigate a growing problem. In

the UK, trees are being harvested at a record rate with 12 million tonnes

of timber being cut down last year. It is a site that many might feel is

an environmental disaster. Did you know that these trees were planted

to be chopped down, and it was all part of a plan in the 60s to boost

the British wood industry. Realising that we were going to run out of

timber, the government gave tax breaks to landowners if they planted

trees for harvesting. Now more than 50 years later, and production is at

an all-time high. Here in Lockerbie, the timber is used in anything from

building homes to sandwich packaging. Stuart Goodall from the

Confederation of forest industries shows me round. I'm blown away, just

how big the operation is. The logs are being turned into planks. How

does this end up as a sandwich wrapper? Nothing is wasted. Every

log is scanned and the technology identifies the maximum number of

pieces of sawn timber we can get from that log. The bits which are

not used will end up producing anything like a sandwich wrapper

that you have. Even though UK timber is booming, Stuart says that demand

is outstripping supply. We are still only providing 20% of the wood

products that the UK consumed. 80% is imported. How it to protect the

80%? It is vital. The sector supports 40,000 jobs and contributes

?20 million to the economy. Forestry Commission forecasts show that,

although the action will rise in the next ten years, it will be in

decline in 15. Mills like this are huge local employers and they will

be repeating for a diminishing supply of timber, so it is vital

that we plant new forests. In 2009, the government signed up to increase

the amount of trees planted, yet today the country has an average of

just 13% of woodland cover, less than half the global average. Stuart

takes me to see a freshly planted woodland. Andrew born is the

district forest manager. Trees as far as the eye can see. There are

1.2 million trees on the site over 480 hectares, so it is big. You

might think that planting trees would be simple. Far from it. These

days, woods are not just planted but designed. The problem is getting

permission to plant them. It takes an awful long time to do that. We

have had a case where it took two years and we went through 19

different versions of the design. The landowner was frustrated. In the

60s, they planted these trees and we are benefiting. Why can't we have an

easy process now? In the 60s, you applied for permission on a side of

a 4 paper. Now, it is a 100,000 word report, consulting with 20 or 50

different organisations. It is out of hand. Forestry Commission told us

they spent ?71.8 million last year helping people to plant, manage and

improve forests in England and Scotland, but Stuart and Andy say

that is not enough. They need to get the system working smarter, get

round the table and agree things. At the moment, it takes far too long.

We had to plant new forests now, because it takes 35-40 years to grow

them. Clearly, this isn't a fast turnaround industry but, today, we

are going to do our bit for the future. It is exciting, we've got 50

trees and we are going to prompt -- plant our very own forest for The

One Show. They may not look much at the moment, but given time they will

grow into soaring Scottish spruces. How long will the forest take to

harvest, guys? 40 years. 40 years! I wonder if we will be on air... Good

luck! wonder if we will be on air... Good

Come on, Trish. 2055, we will be back to let everyone know how the

forest is doing. They will wheel me out on a mobility scooter. I will

look the same. Oh, you will. Priscilla, you are here because you

helped create this album, Elvis, If I Can Dream. Elvis would have been

80. Yes. Coincidentally, it is the 80th birthday year and we have been

working on this album for two years. The producer approached me two years

ago when I was here, doing panto. We became friends. One afternoon, we

were having tea and he said, can I ask you a question? I want to run an

idea by you. I was thinking, oh, boy! So many people say they have

ideas. I was kind of hoping it would be good. Anyway, he said he would

like to do an album of Elvis with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra.

Immediately, I thought, oh, my God, this would be something Elvis would

love to do. I didn't want to seem too excited and I told him to check

out that he knew how to work with the orchestra. Some of the artists

he had worked with. I googled him and I loved all the work he did, so

I called him up and said, I really like it, I would like to take it to

Sony and see what they think and tell them how important this would

be for Elvis's legacy, to keep him current. He would have loved to have

done this, especially with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. You can't

get any better than that. That is how it started. I loved the idea. We

spent two years in the making and here we are, and I'm very proud of

it. As well as the orchestra, you roped in Michael Buble, a favourite

of ours. It's lovely to hear his voice and

Michael's together. He was saying the lovely thing about this album,

it is the song that Elvis loved singing. He did like these songs

very much. Michael is singing Fever at one of his concerts and somebody

asked if I would like to go and I said, sure, never realising he sang

that. We were in the midst of doing the album and I thought, oh,, boy,

that would be great. Elvis loved singing that. I saw him when he was

18 singing it. He loved Dean Martin, the crooning voice and Michael Buble

has that same crooning, sexy voice. I ran it by the producer and he

said, that is a great idea. Let's get hold of him. I knew Michael's

manager, Bruce Allen, and we run it by them, and Michael did an amazing

job. It just looked like Jew guys having a conversation. -- two guys

having a conversation about Captain Hook and the contest. It was just

great. Their voices sound great together. What about you? What songs

do you particularly like? I like all of them. I have two favourites, one

is Bridge Over Troubled Water, the other is An American Trilogy, An

American Trilogy really because I brought it to him. I heard the song

on the radio and thought, oh, my God, this is everything Elvis

believed in, beloved of his country, the love the south, and the

love of his maker. So I bought the song and went back to the house and

I said, I heard this song, you might want to listen to it. Never said,

you should do it, because you didn't do that with him. But you suggested

it. I said, listen, and see what you think. He was listening and taking

all in, nodding, and the next thing I knew, he recording it. It is a

great album. It feels like Elvis is really here right now with us. Great

validation, I thought, was from Elvis's orchestra leader, who he

worked with in Las Vegas at the International Hotel. He came up to

me two years ago and said, I have an idea. I said, what? You said, Elvis

with an orchestra. I said, we already doing it. He said, he would

have loved that. It was a great validation. I have eyewitnesses. I

wanted people to know the diversity of Elvis and the fact that he wasn't

just rock and roll. We all love rock and roll, but it wasn't just that.

Is diversity injuries of music was varied. -- his diversity in John

Roos. There is such a variety. For fans and new fans of Elvis. Keeping

him current. We have to keep his legacy going, and this is something

that definitely does. If I Can Dream is out tomorrow. Many things can be

said to have had a profound effect on the world. Elvis's music is one

and roof protest -- Ruth Goodwin has another. Meet the humble Irish

lumper potato. It is a bit knobbly but it changed history. Without it,

this might never have happened. The great-grandfather of this president

left Wexford in Ireland for the United States in 1848. I am landing

a man on the moon and returning him to Earth. JFK's legacy is out of

this world. One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. He is

not the only one who helped shape the modern world. Henry Ford was the

father of the motor car but his father left Cork in 1887. What has

this got to do with a potato? The failure of the lumper, which began

in 1845, heralded the start of the Irish potato famine, leading to the

greatest wave of immigration Ireland had ever seen. This year, the

official commemoration of the famine is here, in Newry, County Down, its

first time in Northern Ireland. As a Humphreys is the Irish Minister for

heritage. It had a huge impact on the famine. 1 million of the

population emigrated, 1 million died. Those effects still live on

today. If the famine has a central place in Irish history, does it also

has a central place in world history? This is probably one of the

reasons we have a huge Irish Dyas broke across the world. When you go

to America, Canada, Australia, you hear the stories of people who

emigrated because of it. The famine was caused by crop failure but

ironically it happened because the lumper was too successful. This man

is an expert in life here in the 19th-century. Very nutritious, a

couple of stone of potatoes a day with buttermilk catered for all of

your vitamin needs. Two fifths of the population relied totally on

potatoes. In 1845, a fungal disease, potato blight, hit this crop.

Potatoes were blackening in the fields. The phrase used by the

popular press was that they had turned into a mass of putrefaction.

If one potato was affected, the whole field was affected. For 170

years, the lumper was the potato nobody wanted to grow, until now. I

am here to meet Michael McKillop. He believes the dreaded blight is a

thing of the past and he has big plans for this potato. Growing them

slowly, increasing them the year-on-year, because of the number

of seeds coming forward. It can take ten years to build up your seed

stocks. To go commercial. Is this potato from the 19th century

any good to eat? A bit of butter. It smells nice. That is a good potato,

isn't it? That is what I will be eating now for the rest of the

season. It is great to have a bit of history. Despite its troubled past,

the humble lump of potato has gained one last chance to redeem itself. It

may be coming to a dinner table near you -- lumper potato.

My grandad said you could get everything you needed from the

potato. My favourite is the roast. Chips, Chris...

These are from the Great British Pottery Throw Down. It is very tense

from the word go. Matthew has got three over here. Jim is overtaking

Tom. Making everything very economical. He is on seven, you are

on six. I have got one! Exciting times! Sara, meet

on six. I have got one! Priscilla, Priscilla, meet Sara. We

have been chatting. I Priscilla, Priscilla, meet Sara. We

work in Snow White. You went to panto? She said, oh no you didn't!

They are billing this as the new Bake Off but with clay. What are the

similarities and differences? Don't try and eat anything they make, that

is the top tip. Making is the new baking. I hope everyone loves it and

embraces the show as much as they did with take-off. It is made by the

same production team. The similarities are we have taken

people who are passionate about this hobby they have got, they might do

it in their garage on the wheel or they might do night classes, they

are completely passionate about it. What we have done is taken

are completely passionate about it. What we have done is taken hobby

they love and probably do to relax and we have put them against the

clock set challenges and filled it. There is a lot of passion and

excitement and creativity in there. What is different to Bake Off as it

takes five days to make their main make. You cannot pop it in the oven

for an hour. It has to go through two firings and so much can go

wrong. There are getting fired up to 1000 Celsius. Thousands of years ago

man was cloying a bit of earth art and chucking it in the fire and

seeing what they could make. It is really instinctive. It is quite

earthy? Literally, it is an exciting. Will we get as emotional

as we do about cakes? We do get a bit giddy about baking. It is

emotional. A lot of the emotion comes from one of the judges. He is

crying every five minutes! He is one of the best potters in the UK. He

makes gorgeous kitchenware. We also have Kate Maloney. She makes

incredible pots. Keith get so emotional. He sees all these

incredible people from all walks of life. Uses them when they do well

and he starts crying. I was saying, maybe they should get an for when

they make Keith Crier? Go and try and squeeze it here out of Keith.

They are really passionate. I think everyone will love the judges

because they are quite potty. They are big personalities. We know you

can't Potter, is that even a phrase? I potter around my kitchen! I do a

bit of pottering. But Priscilla, as you mentioned, you are an expert.

Let's have a look at the clip. MUSIC: Unchained Melody.

Oh, my God, so messy! We were literally filled with clay and the

next day my hot water went out at my home so I went home to take a shower

and I had no hot water and I had to stay in freezing water and it was

stuck to my whole body. It was so hard to get off so I don't have very

good memories of that! Well, though the The Great British

Pottery Throw Down begins next Tuesday at nine o'clock on BBC Two.

On Monday the One Show met people who lost thousands of pounds through

a talk to updated reach. They have been the target of scammers.

Tonight you will hear from someone who was using their personal details

to get into our computer. What they did not know is we set up a computer

for them to hack with an expert attached. The results are little bit

scary but also quite funny. My computer is going to crash! You are

doing things on my computer here. You are deleting things from my

desktop at the moment. We're also looking at the Vauxhall

Zaf8ira. They have been catching fire with little or no warning. We

took a burnt out Zaf8ira back to their own HQ, our own recall.

Halloween is two days away. We are keeping up the pressure to keep

costumes safe on Saturday night. All of that and Rogue Traders as well

straight after the One Show. Thank you, Matt. We like a puzzle to

solve on the One Show and Marty has found a case which even Sherlock

Holmes would struggle with. We are calling it the machine gun mystery.

In the early 1880s, William Cantona announced to his family he had

perfected a new invention, a rapid firing gun which he believed would

revolutionise warfare. Then the Victorian engineer packed his bags

and was never seen again. Could he have travelled to the United States

and assumed a new identity. Soon afterwards a man called Hiram Maxim

patents a new gun. It is believed the two men could be one and the

same. But why. William Cantelow was a pub landlord with a passion for

inventing things. He kept the details of his work closely guarded

secret. He worked in the underground tunnels underneath his pub.

Neighbours reported hearing strange sounds coming from the cellar. Rapid

gunfire was often heard that never seen. All this fell silent ones

Cantelow disappeared. Only his family knew of his new gun, but this

was the weapon which would revolutionise warfare, Hiram

Maxim's automatic machine gun. The leap forward in the 1880s as far

as we know was to exploit the energy stored in the cartridge, not just to

push the bullet out of the barrel, but to drive the working parts of

the gun back and forwards again, picking up another round, pushing it

into the chamber and firing it for as long as you hold down the

trigger. Is there a chance that Cantelow could have invented the

same sort of gun at exactly the same time? The mystery of his

disappearance has perplexed his family for more than 130 years. A

large sum of money is believed to have been transferred out of his

bank account. No one knows where it went. Shortly after Maxim arrives in

London, Cantelow's Sun sees a picture of him in the newspaper but

are convinced it is their father. After an encounter at Waterloo

Station, the family believes the two men are one and the same. It is a

story which has become part of family history. One which is

great-great-grandson Barry has spent more than 40 years researching. The

boys saw the man who they are dressed as father who said, come

home. Sadly, it was the point of departure for the train. The man

said, hello, boys, but the train was leaving, so he hopped on the train

and away he went. This was obviously disturbing for the boys. They

reported seeing the man who they would happily identify as their

father. The only difference would happily identify as their

Mark Nixon who is a pioneer in face recognition technology. Clearly

there is some similarity. The hairline might be in the same place.
