Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker And Michelle | :00:17. | :00:24. | |
Ackerley. We're on air. It's #457d. Tonight's show can be summed up in | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
the following words - sawing. There is a lumberjack shortage. These guys | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
are looking for new recruits. We will meet them later. We are. And | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
singing... Rising music star, Izzy Bizu will be performing live at the | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
end of the show. Let's move on to spying. Next word. We will be | :00:47. | :00:55. | |
interrogating the stars of a new history, twisting war-time drama. | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Kate Bosworth and Sam Riley will be with us shortly. We have spelling. | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
We have a group of super spellers in our audience who have been | :01:03. | :01:07. | |
contestants on the TV show The Big Spell. They wille spell out who our | :01:08. | :01:13. | |
first guest is. Please welcome - knees up, sir? That's not right. | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
It's not knees up, sir. I thought you were supposed to be good at | :01:19. | :01:24. | |
spelling. Spin them round. Any gois. There we are, Sue Perkins. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
APPLAUSE I've got a cold, don't come too | :01:30. | :01:41. | |
close. I'm all right, come on. Lovely to see you guys. The know the | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
children here, the lovely crew. You are all teamed up again. Magnificent | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
they are. They are so confident? They are confident. They are | :01:51. | :01:53. | |
brilliant. They are extraordinary - get them out of my sight, I can't | :01:54. | :02:00. | |
bear them. No, they are cracking. We had some other anagrams we could | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
have come up with the letters of your name. Go on. We had Spike | :02:04. | :02:13. | |
Nurse? What about this one. Siren Pukes. Siren Pukes! That's great. | :02:14. | :02:25. | |
They are like Roald Dahl characters. Rolls off the tongue. Not mine, | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
sadly. Earlier in the week Peter Capaldi announce. He will not be | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Doctor Who any more. Gutting news. It is. We heard that, you know, | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
earlier on there was some mention of you potentially, you know, being a | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
possibility for a female Doctor? I'm always on a list, Michelle. Never | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
get the job. Always on the list. PM, Top Gear. It could be the Doctor. I | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
think you would be a great female Doctor. It would be great to have a | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
female Doctor, if not this regeneration. You are top are of our | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
list tonight. Anyone who's worked in the service | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
industry will know that they often have to rely on tips | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
to bolster their Lucy has discovered that some staff | :03:13. | :03:14. | |
are not being served a fair deal You go out for a meal. The service | :03:15. | :03:28. | |
is great. So you happily pay the service charge added to your bill. | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
That ends up going to the people serving you - or does it? The world | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
of tips and service charges is a pretty murky one. So who do you | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
think gets the service charge? I think it goes to tips for the | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
employees. I assume it goes to the waiter or whoever is serving me. | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
Certainly the staff who did the serving and the chef as well. | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Certainly, to the people that have been serving you the food. In fact, | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
it's only cash tips that legally have to go to the person they are | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
given to. In the case of service charges added to the bill, | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
restaurants don't have to pass any of this on to their staff. The same | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
thing applies to tips paid by card. So there is a good deal of confusion | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
and a worry that restaurant open owners are exploiting that. The | :04:18. | :04:22. | |
Government has a voluntary code that says staff should get at least 70% | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
of the service charge. But it's option al. Ememployers don't have to | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
follow it and some don't. This woman, who doesn't wish to be | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
identified, worked for a high end food outlet in London. It's very | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
much minimum wage in the hospitality industry, then a company that was | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
keeping the 12.5% service charge. She was told she could take home a | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
portion of the service charge, but only if she accepted a pay cut on | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
her basic wage. The company I was with on a day could take anything | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
between ?500 and ?1,500 in service charges per outlet. That is a whole | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
lot of money that isn't being given or passed on to the staff. Do | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
customers ever ask you where their service charge goes? Yes, we have | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
been told to lie to the customer and say that we get it. I think that's | :05:13. | :05:19. | |
outrageous I personally, morally will not lie to our customers. If I | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
told the customer the truth, I'm breaking company policy, they will | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
take disciplinary action and I will probably lose my job. What happened | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
to cash tips? Cash tips were put into a pot. Part would go to the | :05:33. | :05:35. | |
management and part of it would go to the staff. Industry body, the | :05:36. | :05:41. | |
British Hospitality Association has called on the Government to make it | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
a legal requirement for restaurants to tell customers how tips and | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
service charges are distributed amongst staff. Later in the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
programme, I confront celebrity chef, Michel Roux Jr after his staff | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
spoke out over use of the service charge and how they were paid less | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
than minimum wage. I' made a mistake. It was one hell of a | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
howling mistake. It's a topic that has everyone talking, really? If you | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
work in the restaurant. We want to know about your experiences. Get in | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
touch we will read some of your emails out at the end of the show. | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
It's confusing. Did you know that the service charge didn't go | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
directly to the staff? The clue is in the title. If it's service | :06:24. | :06:31. | |
charge, you think you are paying for the service. Call it - more cash for | :06:32. | :06:35. | |
the Oz boss and I will opt-out. They need to make it clearer. I ask, do | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
you get it, if they do I'm happy to pay it. There are a few more bodies | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
on our sofas right now because the The Big Spell is searching for the | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
country's best speller. We have lovely people... Is it me? We need | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
to ask you. How ruthlesses is this format, how can you split this lot | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
up? They are all amazing. This show you see the top of my head. I spend | :07:01. | :07:06. | |
the whole hour like that. I was constantly in tears or hyper tensive | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
willing them on. What a great thing for me to be intellectually owned by | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
a gang of 9 to 13-year-olds. At that age, that is quite a big age range, | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
isn't it? How does it work with the rounds and week-to-week? I mean, we | :07:23. | :07:28. | |
don't make some words harder for a 13-year-old than a nine-year-old. | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
They are all in that same category. It's the luck of the draw, really. | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
It's well organised so... I think you found that autumn the words were | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
pretty tricky. Yeah. Tam is so cool. It's interesting, I guess you think | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
- spelling competition, not that intense, not that much drama, but | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
there is, isn't there? We have a clip. Let's take a look. Welcome to | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
the top of my head! Correct! I didn't know that. Be | :07:53. | :08:26. | |
honest, did you know what it actually meant? No it was my first | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
time hearing it. Yes. That's impressive. Alex, explain what that | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
moment feels like when you are waiting to receive the word and hear | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
it? It's like, you know, sort of like a hole. You are just waiting. A | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
hole. It's giving me sweaty hands watching it. It must be daunting. I | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
have them now. He has post-traumatic stress. I like the way you do it in | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
groups. A nice round. Where everybody spells together so you | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
don't feel so alone in the world of spelling, which frightens me. You | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
guys really bonded all of you? We noticed that. It seems you are all | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
good friends. Nice for a quiz show you can get on and support each | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
other? We cried a lot. I think I cried more than anybody else. Do you | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
think that is fair to say? Yes, just sobbed. Was that because of MEP risz | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
of what you were like as a child and younger? Memories of all my school | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
days rolling in. All the failures. -- memories. A nice rockery. | :09:32. | :09:40. | |
Beautiful. Yeah, I mean, a lot of camouflage going on there. The | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
rockery was psychedelic, I really blended. The look I was going for. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Good you kept it up there. That is good. ? Just keep it up. Is the | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
parents were on set as well. Did you find that the parents were kind of | :09:58. | :10:02. | |
more or less stressed than you guys? More stressed. More stressed. You | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
could hear them backstage going, "oh, God." Jade, did you your mum | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
get emotion al? Yes, she doesn't talk about the bad things. When I do | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
something good she kind of screams. Did you hear the screams offset? Are | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
you feeling OK. She's doing well today. Doing well today, yeah. Let's | :10:26. | :10:33. | |
look at the emotion in your mum's face. What is your favourite word. | :10:34. | :10:45. | |
What! Which means? The fear of long words. Not surprised. If you want to | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
watch it, The Big Spell is on Sunday at 5.30pm on Sky One and repeated on | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
Wednesday at 8.00pm. Well done. It would petrify me. It's a pleasure | :11:02. | :11:10. | |
today. Red Nose Day baud Richard Curtice and Sir Lenny Henry were on | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
last night. You are are part of it? We are hosting the proceedings. Your | :11:15. | :11:22. | |
celebrities will Donnelly owe tarreds, I can't wait. There will be | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
a One Show team, is this an exclusive? It is an exclusive. Are | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
you on it? I'm not, unfortunately. Here are Team One Show. | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
# I can't stop the feeling # Just dance, dance | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
# I can't stop the feeling # So just dance, dance, dance | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
# I can't stop the feeling # So keep dancing | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
# Come on... # APPLAUSE | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Good luck. Middle-aged men doing breakdancing, do they get extra | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
marks? I was captivated by that. A lot of friction in that shell suit. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
Tam will be giving us some moves. So much talent. You are good at dancing | :12:17. | :12:22. | |
as well. I will give a few lessons. Give us that backflip. Break it out. | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
We will be joined by Sam Riley and Kate Bosworth in a minute. They are | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
the stars of which looks | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
at what would have happened in the UK if Germany had won | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
the Second World War. Before that, Ruth has the true story | :12:46. | :12:47. | |
of the German spy whose execution created an unlikely bond | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
between two families. Daybreak on a late summer morning in | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
1941, a man had been condemned to death. He was marched into the Tower | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
of London by a squad of Military Policemen, in a narrow courtyard a | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
line of soldiers stood, rifles ready. Josef Jakobs was a German | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
caught red-handed spying in Britain. He had been tried and sentenced to | :13:14. | :13:22. | |
death. His execution marked the end of a gruesome centuries old | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
tradition. As it turned out, he was the last person ever to be executed | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
here at the Tower of London. Beheadings ended here almost 270 | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
years ago, but executions went on well into the last century. Josef | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
Jakobs grandfather spoke to us. He was a dentist before the war. Then | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
he became a spy. What his mission? He was sent to England on the | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
evening of January 31st 1941, he was dropped out of the aircraft with a | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
parachute, which he'd never done before. He injured his ankle upon | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
leaving the air craft he lay all night in agony with a broken ankle. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
The next morning he saw farmers coming and he shot off his pistol to | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
attract attention. That is how they found him. Doesn't sound like a | :14:14. | :14:21. | |
dwood spy to me. He lasted less than 24-hours before being captured. He | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
had no chance to do anything. He was charged under the 1940 Treachery | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Act. The legislation said that if you did anything with intent to spy | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
that was enough to warrant the death penalty. In the weeks leading up to | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
his death, he was held in Wandsworth Prison. His guard was Military | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
Policeman, Bill. He died in 2013, his daughter remembers his fater's | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
accounts of the imprisonment and execution. The women have never met | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
before. Are bringing them together for the first time -- father. How | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
did this relationship develop? My father was accompanying Jakobs Jake | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
to the Tower. He chatted to him. He wanted to make him feel as if | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
somebody cared about him. Bill came here with Josef on the day he was | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
executed. Is this where the rifle range was? Yes. It's eerie, really. | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
I'm walking in the steps of my grandfather. As he walked to his | :15:31. | :15:31. | |
death. Shortly before his execution, Joao | :15:32. | :15:41. | |
Silva wrote to his wife back home. The letters set on delivered in | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
files of MI5 for decades. His wife never got to read what her husband | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
wrote to her on the night of his execution. It's quite neat and | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
legible. By the time it gets to the third page, it gets more and more | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
emotional, I guess. But this circle at the end, in German it says, my | :16:06. | :16:16. | |
last kiss. Just after 7am on the 15th of August, 1941, Josef Jakobs | :16:17. | :16:22. | |
and Bill arrived at this spot. Unable to stand because of his | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
injured leg, he was tied to a wooden chair. And now I want to take my | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
leave from you, my dear, dear wife, for you -- from you and your | :16:35. | :16:40. | |
children. His last words were, shoot straight, Tommies. Soon after his | :16:41. | :16:53. | |
death, the government decided to move the execution of spies to other | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
prisons in other parts of London. So his was the last execution here. And | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
because of that, his name and his story are important not just to a | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
few family members, but have become part of our national story. | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
It is incredibly sad, but quite heart-warming the families managed | :17:18. | :17:18. | |
to come together in the end. Away from real wartime drama, | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
coming up soon on the BBC you'll be able to see an alternative World War | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
II, one in which Germany Please welcome the stars of SS-GB, | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
Kate Bosworth and Sam Riley. APPLAUSE. | :17:27. | :17:46. | |
Good evening. Welcome. Let's talk about SS-GB. We have got in Nazi | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
occupied London. And it's all about what would have happened if Germany | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
had won the Battle of Britain. It is 1941. What was life like Ben? Go on, | :17:59. | :18:09. | |
Kate! For us to be on set and to have huge swastika banners in the | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
middle of London was undeserving. Why -- Must've been quite sobering. | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
Siam -- We did try to be careful with what we had outside. With | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
interior sets we could hang a few more things. But in the streets, a | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
lot of it is CGI so as not to offend anybody. And a lot of the soldiers | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
in between takes hat to wear ponchos and take their Hamids off. What | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
characters do you play? Go on! IPlayer detective, Superintendent | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
Douglas Archer, a celebrated detective before the war. He is | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
still working as a detective but now under the authority of the SS. It | :19:04. | :19:09. | |
begins with a murder investigation of what seems like a black | :19:10. | :19:13. | |
marketeer. It's all about the resistance and intrigue. It's | :19:14. | :19:18. | |
interesting because a lot of his neighbours and things are wondering | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
if he is a collaborator or not. I think that's part of the mystery. | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
You don't really know which side of the line anyone stands. It's a | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
psychological thriller. I play a journalist who has come over from | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
America and is covering the story of what is happening in the UK. She is | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
mysterious and a bit of a found hotel. -- femme fatale. We will have | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
a little look at the moment when you first meet. | :19:56. | :20:04. | |
Do you come here often? I'm Chief superintendent Douglas Archer. And | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
you are, Madame? Miss. I'd rather not be mistaken for a madam. And | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
from the New York Times. Have you been in London long? I arrived ten | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
days ago. You must be important. Smoking! | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
It's a really interesting concept, this type of genre, which is about | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
what could have happened if... It's very different. Amazingly, in 1942, | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
in the middle of the war, they made a movie about Nazi paratroopers | :20:45. | :20:51. | |
arriving in a village in the south of England. Even during the war | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
itself, these what if scenarios were about. I guess it gives you a | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
perspective of, if things had gone the other way, what would be going | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
on? I'm a father now of a three-year-old boy. One likes to | :21:08. | :21:14. | |
imagine one would be part of the resistance. But if you are a parent, | :21:15. | :21:23. | |
you become very vulnerable. And my wife dies during the invasion. So | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
these sorts of regimes using these fear tactics and bullying, that's | :21:29. | :21:34. | |
how they were so successful. It's pretty morally ambiguous. Do you | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
like that concept? I love alternate reality. We are all currently living | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
alternate reality! It is a great starting point for a drama, the what | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
if questions. You never obviously have a solid answer. There is so | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
much to play with. I loved that clip. Actually, it's got real style. | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
Did you look back at 1940s filming? You do feel it is of the time. The | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
way that Philip, our director, he is so brilliant. He had a particular | :22:11. | :22:17. | |
take on how he wanted to shoot it. He is German as well. He has a great | :22:18. | :22:26. | |
handle on things feeling very real. It is a different take of what we | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
have seen about this time. It almost feels like documentary. It's at the | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
ground level of what happens in these people's lives. It feels very | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
intimate. It allows the audience to imagine what would happen if they | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
were there. The Germans role played by German actors, and some of the | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
best in the business. Although it is not real, it has authenticity. This | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
is your first live TV appearance, Sam. We know your mummy 's guide to | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
be watching. You did it! You are doing very well. | :23:00. | :23:10. | |
Can I go now?! My dad will be laughing. He will be expecting a | :23:11. | :23:20. | |
spelling test. That is all to come very soon. Title-macro will be on | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
BBC later this month. You are staying with us? Absolutely. | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
After days of speeches and demonstrations against | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
President Donald Trump, we know how strongly | :23:33. | :23:34. | |
those taking part feel about his policies, | :23:35. | :23:36. | |
particularly his controversial immigration ban. | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
We wanted to find out if those views are reflected in other parts of the | :23:42. | :23:53. | |
UK. So Joe has been to Sunderland. I'm here in Sunderland, just down | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
the road from Washington, ancestral home of the first president of the | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
United States, George Washington. What do people here make of Trump's | :24:03. | :24:09. | |
policies? And is it any of our business? People of Sunderland, we | :24:10. | :24:20. | |
want to hear your views. Take up the The One Show challenge. We have to | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
say something because it is terrible. They have got the most | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
stringent Visa policy to get into the States to start with. They are | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
discriminating against American citizens. American -- America is | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
made up of immigrants. I would be annoyed if they were constantly | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
sticking their noses in our politics. The Americans have been | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
taking note of what is happening in Europe with all these terror | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
incidents. They are trying to find a balance of national security. I | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
totally disagree. I think it is our right. If we don't say anything, it | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
will carry on and get worse. You have a voice and you have free | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
choice. If you don't exert your voice, you will not have an impact. | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
It may have an impact at all countries come together. It is none | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
our business. Yes, it doesn't affect's. That's my wife, so we have | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
different opinions! I don't think we should bother ourselves about what | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
is happening in other countries. The UN should come together and discuss | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
what he is doing. Is he making life more difficult for Britain? Genuine | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
refugees need to go somewhere. It does have an impact on places | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
abroad. We can't say we are England and we deal with ourselves. It is a | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
big global marketplace. Everything every country does impact on someone | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
else. Trump has to think about what he's doing. America should be | :25:51. | :25:57. | |
allowed to do what they do. Well said. To be honest, I think Britain | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
should be the same. Should we be protesting against Trump? Should our | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
government be intervening in the affairs of a sovereign nation? No. | :26:09. | :26:14. | |
But we should be encouraged to stand against Trump and Islamophobia. Did | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
any of you stand -- sign a petition? America is America. They are the | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
biggest country in the world. They can do what they want. | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
Some interesting views. Kate, we were just talking through that, the | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
fact that you are not really that surprised that the word is talking | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
about this in the way they are? Yes, it is definitely a polarising time. | :26:43. | :26:49. | |
We were discussing that here. The more dialogue we can have and | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
articulation of views is crucial at a time like this. I think to have | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
that kind of dialogue and really listen to one another is important. | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
But I see a lot of optimism in people speaking out and sharing | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
their views. And being heard. I don't know if we have all been heard | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
in a while. I think it is important. People are certainly talking. It is | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
a time of change. Every day we are seeing more events unfolding. Are | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
you surprised at how quickly things are going and actually how quickly | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
he is implementing what he said he would? He has an opinion every | :27:30. | :27:40. | |
minute. On Twitter. It is interesting. People are coming out, | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
sometimes together and sometimes in reaction. People find extraordinary | :27:49. | :27:53. | |
union with one another. One has to be positive. And find positivity in | :27:54. | :27:59. | |
this. Otherwise, what is the point? We are moving on. There is nothing | :28:00. | :28:13. | |
in this country that we can't roll. If you can't rollback -- roll it, | :28:14. | :28:18. | |
you can bowl it. In the UK there's nothing | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
we can't roll, bowl or hurl into a specialist sport - | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
cheese, haggis, black pudding... So when we heard about cannon balls | :28:26. | :28:27. | |
on Irish country lanes, When you say the sport bowls, the | :28:28. | :28:40. | |
first thing that comes to your mind is a very graceful sport, a social | :28:41. | :28:46. | |
gathering played on beautifully cut lawns. In certain parts of Ireland, | :28:47. | :28:50. | |
bowls means something entirely different. We are talking a very | :28:51. | :28:56. | |
strenuous sport, not for the faint-hearted, which involves a | :28:57. | :28:58. | |
cannonball being launched down country lanes. This is a passionate | :28:59. | :29:02. | |
sport passed down from generation to generation. I'm in County Armagh in | :29:03. | :29:09. | |
Northern Ireland. For the first time ever the all Ireland finals are | :29:10. | :29:14. | |
being held. Two and a half miles of country lanes will become the | :29:15. | :29:21. | |
course. And the winner of the magical score is who can propel the | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
Iron bowl with the least amount of throws. I'm going head-to-head with | :29:25. | :29:31. | |
a champion of the sport. It will be a cracking weekend. But first, I | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
want to find out more about the history of the sport. How did this | :29:38. | :29:45. | |
sport, about? There are two theories. One suggests that it may | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
have come with Dutch soldiers when William Of Orange came to Ireland. | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
That was in 1689. Another is that it came with the weavers in the linen | :29:56. | :30:02. | |
industry. Who are the great legends? Lots of them. It goes back to grade | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
legends like Joe McVeigh. He did it in 22 shots. | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
It has stood the test of time. Tomorrow, I'm up against the current | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
All-Ireland Senior men's champion. Something is telling me I better get | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
some practice in. Brian organised for me to train with his nephew, | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
Michael, a 10-time champion. When you throw it, your feet is off the | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
ground. Is that the technique? Feet off the ground. The bullet is | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
supposed to be away, out of your hand, before you hit the ground. Oh, | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
my God, you hit the camera. Any last-minute advice? No. Get the | :30:46. | :30:50. | |
bullet where it's comfortable in your hand. Have your unare and point | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
the bullet towards the corner. You make it sound easy! Low and hard. Go | :30:54. | :31:02. | |
on, son, get up there. That's probably my best. Best doesn't mean | :31:03. | :31:10. | |
good though. It's the big day. After a good night's sleep, I'm gearing up | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
for my throw against the reigning champion. This is heavy. Is it a | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
safe sport for the competitors and the public? I wouldn't say it would | :31:20. | :31:25. | |
be a safe sport because in 2005 I was a spectator and I got hit, it | :31:26. | :31:32. | |
broke my leg in two. You came out to watch and went home in an ambulance? | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
Yes, Easter Sunday. I will have a go. We will tell people to keep | :31:38. | :31:47. | |
back, give you plenty of room. Keep it low. I don't think you lot are | :31:48. | :31:50. | |
safe. You had better... Seriously... It's still going and still going. | :31:51. | :32:13. | |
And it's still going! Fair play. That is why you are the champion and | :32:14. | :32:19. | |
I'm not. I had no chance against Thomas, really, but the atmosphere | :32:20. | :32:22. | |
for the fine al is building. Right, folks! It's good. How many people | :32:23. | :32:29. | |
will be here in total? Thousands? Hundreds. Time for the real contest | :32:30. | :32:31. | |
to begin. That's good, isn't it? I'm not | :32:32. | :32:39. | |
telling you, if you got over the... I've got to confess, before today | :32:40. | :32:55. | |
I'd never heard of this sport. This is the best Sunday I've in ages. | :32:56. | :33:02. | |
Without a doubt, it's got a new fan. Something amazing is about to | :33:03. | :33:05. | |
happen, let me tell you. We are moving to a sport which needs more | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
people to take part in. We are talking the timber sport, Lumberjack | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
Championships. Scott, you are here to find recruits. What is the plan? | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
We have three training camps, spread over March. We have one in | :33:22. | :33:26. | |
Edinburgh, one in Surrey and Shropshire. OK. The aim is to try | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
and find lumberjacks for the British team? Yes. To take part in the | :33:32. | :33:37. | |
British Team. We have blokes here. Is this open to women as well? Yes. | :33:38. | :33:42. | |
It's also open to women. There is a women division. Women can take part | :33:43. | :33:46. | |
as well. Without putting words in your mouth. You are looking for | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
applicants to apply. When does everybody have to get their names in | :33:51. | :33:53. | |
by? The closing date is this Sunday. OK. You can apply online. We will | :33:54. | :33:59. | |
put the details on our website as well. It will be helpful for you. | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
Glen and Elgan will give us a demonstration. I will invite you to | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
get into position. Let's have a chat with Bart, you referee all over the | :34:10. | :34:13. | |
world. How do you compete as a lumberjack? What events do you do? | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
It's all about technique and a lot of power. OK. And patience. That's | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
obviously what you are looking for. It's not necessarily the speed at | :34:23. | :34:25. | |
which, because you will go over and you will assess the different cuts | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
that the athletes make? A little mistake you would be disqualified. | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
We will get the old ear defenders on. This is about to happen. We are | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
putting the ear defenders on. Before we go, show your socks there as well | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
because you can see the chain mail socks which come in helpful when the | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
lads jump on to that log in the end. Bart, we will hand over to you. | :34:50. | :34:52. | |
Watch this. It's absolutely incredible. Here we go. OK, players | :34:53. | :35:02. | |
ready, contestants ready. 15 seconds to warm up your saw. | :35:03. | :35:23. | |
We can now talk. Basically, they were cutting a cookie off there. The | :35:24. | :35:36. | |
idea was to get a nice neat cut and straight on to this log. Yes. Both | :35:37. | :35:43. | |
are doing good. No false starts. He is leading a little bit by two or | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
three seconds. He's leading one second. I'm looking for the safety. | :35:47. | :35:54. | |
The foot holes. OK. They are aiming to chap all the way through this | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
log. You can see the speed at which they are doing it. The you poker | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
they are ut ping into it. Glen is through already. They are neck and | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
neck. Now on to the last discipline. Yes. Glen is leading a little bit. | :36:08. | :36:15. | |
Elgan is a champion. It's very, very close. There you go. Won by one or | :36:16. | :36:22. | |
two seconds. Well done. APPLAUSE | :36:23. | :36:25. | |
To begin with we were talking about this being a sport, you can see, | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
Elgan, double British Champion. The speed at which you sliced through | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
that at the end. I'm harsh because I will ask you to talk now, you put | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
yourself through that. Can you assess for us what your body feels | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
like having gone through that task? It's a work out and a half. You are | :36:44. | :36:49. | |
using all your body, really. Sure. It's good. I enjoy it. I'm sure you | :36:50. | :36:57. | |
do. You have a young prodigy? Tell us about your son? He is 11 years | :36:58. | :37:03. | |
old. He just starting on the axing now. He is enjoying it. He is a hope | :37:04. | :37:06. | |
for the future. In the meantime you are looking, as we keep saying, for | :37:07. | :37:10. | |
athletes to be part of this British team. As far as the training is | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
concerned, Glen, give us an idea of what people have to put themselves | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
through to get to that level? A bit of gym work helps, keep fit and | :37:19. | :37:24. | |
active. The main thing is doing the sawing and chopping. It keeps you | :37:25. | :37:28. | |
training and fit as well. Very quickly, who are the best in the | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
world at this, Bart? New Zealand and Australia. Are they? They are still | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
leading a bit. Get your applicants in. This Sunday. The deadline. We | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
will put the details on our website you might end up on the British | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
team. That was super. Thank you so much. What did you make of this? | :37:45. | :37:51. | |
Those guy are made of strong stuff, what did you think? A health and | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
safety nightmare! Why not chop that. What did you reckon? Is Sam does | :37:58. | :38:04. | |
that all the time. I bet! You are a lumberjack, you chopped wood before? | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
I had to chop wood for a film. I was taught by a 90-year-old farmer. He | :38:10. | :38:16. | |
was amazing at it. Did he have the guns? No. He sort of fell backwards. | :38:17. | :38:27. | |
They are amazing. Are you good at it? You can blag it, all you need to | :38:28. | :38:33. | |
do is two good takes and crack on. How do you think the guys compare to | :38:34. | :38:41. | |
America. You spend time in Montana? There is wood chopping in Montana. | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
Yeah... The feet thing. Do you they chop like that? That's mad. They | :38:47. | :38:53. | |
usually chop at the wood. The sideways action. You would have to | :38:54. | :38:58. | |
spend a long time on your own none a forest to think that is a good idea. | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
From power tools to something far more precise - | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
here's Michael Mosley celebrating the work | :39:07. | :39:07. | |
Melanie is suffering from gallstones, The stones have been | :39:08. | :39:18. | |
giving her persistent intense pain for months. Today she is having | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
keyhole surgery to get them removed. But this sort of operation would not | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
be possible without the ability to d that, to actually look inside a | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
patient while you are operating. That became possible thanks to the | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
pioneering work of an unassuming physicist called Harold Hopkins. | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
Born in Leicester in 1918, Harold Hopkins was the youngest of six | :39:41. | :39:46. | |
children. By the time he was 30, he was a leading specialist in optics | :39:47. | :39:58. | |
and ref Lewesised BBC broadcasts with a lens as his son remembers. It | :39:59. | :40:05. | |
was the zoom lens. He cracked it for the first time. He loved solving | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
problems and he liked to challenge. He was an gifted man in many ways. | :40:10. | :40:14. | |
He said, I'm a simple chap who works very hard. He used to think hard | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
work made life worthwhile. In 1957 he was presented with a challenge he | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
couldn't resist - it came from a most unlikely source, a Liverpool | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
bladder surgeon. It was to change the course of Hopkins' work and | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
transform surgery. It was a man called Jim Gow who said, we have | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
this scope that looks inside people, but the optics are terrible. Can you | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
do something about it. The problem was that the images were of such | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
poor quality the surgeons were groping around in the dark. Retired | :40:51. | :41:01. | |
surgeon, Mr Tom Den explains? The sister scopes, pre-Hopkins, a relay | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
lens system, there are up to 30 tiny glass lens. You look through the end | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
here. You have something that is blurry and faint, isn't it? The | :41:13. | :41:15. | |
clarity of the image produced depends on light and when you have a | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
lot of lens in a row, the power of the light decreases as it goes | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
through one lens after another. It will lose between 4% and 6% of the | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
light. With the system of 30 lenses much light would be lost en route. | :41:34. | :41:37. | |
The breakthrough was to elraise it wasn't just the lenses to blame, but | :41:38. | :41:42. | |
the gaps between them. He understood that as the light passed through the | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
gaps it hit the air inside. This caused some of the light to get | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
deflected and scatter are, instead of reaching the next lens. What | :41:52. | :41:57. | |
Hopkins did, he turned the Oscar Pistorius particulars upside down. | :41:58. | :42:02. | |
Instead of having a lot of small lenses, he made long, glass rod | :42:03. | :42:06. | |
lenses with a very small air gap between them. These rod lenses led | :42:07. | :42:14. | |
to a dramatic improvement. Ultimately, the light transmission | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
improved, not by 80%, but by 80-fold. No longer was there a | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
misty, foggy view, there was a certain amount of Lucas to what he | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
saw, but almost crystal clear imagery. With more light it produced | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
images with definition, detail and a quality that had never been seen | :42:35. | :42:37. | |
before, allowing surgeons to carry out operations which were not | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
possible with the old system. Hopkins worked on the rod lens was | :42:44. | :42:51. | |
revolutionary. It has enabled really all modern keyhole surgery to take | :42:52. | :42:59. | |
place. Hopkins rod lens endoscope remains the gold standard for | :43:00. | :43:04. | |
keyhole surgical procedures today. Thanks to his breakthrough, | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
Melanie's operation was a success. A far cry from the days when her | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
operation would have involved major surgery. Right. We will get you off | :43:12. | :43:19. | |
and out later on. Despite his success, Hopkins never pursued | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
money. He turned down lots of lucrative opportunities. Instead, he | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
remained a true, British unsung hero. Breaking news for you. We are | :43:28. | :43:38. | |
back on. Sorry. Breaking news. MPs have voted to give Theresa May the | :43:39. | :43:45. | |
power to begin the Brexit process the votes are 498 to 114. It will be | :43:46. | :43:49. | |
happening. We will talk about some people who are doing their very best | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
to avoid hospitals at all costs. They are taking part in the Fixing | :43:54. | :43:58. | |
Dad programme that we featured on the show back in 2015. Many of you | :43:59. | :44:06. | |
will remember Ian and Anthony Whitington who fixed their dad, | :44:07. | :44:11. | |
Geoff, when they discovered he had Type 2 diabetes by getting him | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
active again, overhauling his diet and lifestyle. | :44:16. | :44:20. | |
They are fixed dad and they will do it again. Geoff, you are still | :44:21. | :44:24. | |
glowing. You are still incredibly active? Absolutely. Totally | :44:25. | :44:28. | |
different person. My life has totally changed. I do everything | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
that I never used to do. I can get out. I En I myself. It's incredible. | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
Is it a hassle? Is that you? This is one of the things they put me | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
through. They pushed you out of the a plane, Geoff? Yes. They tried | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
everything. I'm still here. His sons fixed him. A euphemism for - let's | :44:47. | :44:58. | |
splat dad. You are moving on from your dads? We want to help people. | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
Looking at the person next to you, do they need help. We want to take | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
pressure off the NHS. Just work together to improve lifestyle | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
diseases especially. Having spent the day with these guys today, | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
it's... We are wondering what we have taken on. It's scary. Yes. | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
Shall we have a quick word with them and find out their fears. Geoff, | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
what will be the worst thing? What will be the worst thing? The | :45:27. | :45:34. | |
hardest? On that bike. Just getting started. They will do the 100 | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
Prudential Ride London. They have something to really look forward to, | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
believe me. Let's see if they are smiling now. | :45:46. | :45:51. | |
Tell me about your reasons for getting involved. You are looking | :45:52. | :46:00. | |
for a long-term fix? Yes. I've tried every diet going. Unfortunately, my | :46:01. | :46:05. | |
weight is still going up. I need something long term that will see me | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
into the future. Craig, you are saying that your lifestyle in the | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
past has been similar to what Geoff's was. Is that why you are | :46:15. | :46:19. | |
getting involved? Yes. When I saw Geoff do the bicycle ride, I went | :46:20. | :46:25. | |
for it and thought, I'm going to do this. I only told Rachel, my wife, | :46:26. | :46:32. | |
last week that I'd actually done all this and gone for it. She's quite | :46:33. | :46:37. | |
surprised. The main thing is I've got a massive amount in common with | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
Geoff. I started losing feeling in my feet, my blood sugar is all over | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
the place. I need to be reprogrammed, really. The guys have | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
been brilliant today. Absolutely fantastic. A real inspiration. | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
Adrian, you were saying that Fixing Dad was an inspiration? Completely, | :46:59. | :47:05. | |
absolutely. Plus the fact we all want to jump out of a plane! It was | :47:06. | :47:10. | |
absolutely amazing. The thing is you get the scare tactics from doctors, | :47:11. | :47:15. | |
which has never worked. Yet we watched that film and the | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
inspiration was amazing. The whole thing is now to inspire everybody | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
else. That is what we want. You have got your work cut out for you. I | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
think you can do it. It's all good! Can you actually believe this is | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
happening because of what he went through? I can never believe that I | :47:35. | :47:39. | |
could inspire anybody. I was just a fat man. It has been absolutely | :47:40. | :47:42. | |
unbelievable. These guys are brilliant. Summary people have come | :47:43. | :47:49. | |
to me and said they have done the same thing. -- so many people. It is | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
doable. Anybody can do this. We will be supporting them all the way with | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
the resources we have developed. We have learned a lot. It is your | :48:00. | :48:09. | |
family and they know your best. Good luck to each and everyone of you. We | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
will be following your progress. For all those people out there who want | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
to get help and advice, we know you have done able can as well. There is | :48:18. | :48:19. | |
help out there. Back to a topic we discussed earlier | :48:20. | :48:20. | |
- how some restaurants siphon off the service charge that most diners | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
think goes to their serving staff. As Lucy found out, it can even | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
happen in the most high class places How would you feel of the service | :48:27. | :48:42. | |
charge you paid in a restaurant wasn't going to staff? It isn't | :48:43. | :48:48. | |
going to them, why should that not be included in the price of the | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
food? It would stop me going back to somewhere if I thought the company | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
was taking the money. Michel Roux Junior recency hit the headlines | :49:00. | :49:06. | |
over his use of the service charge. With a taster menu of ?212, he was | :49:07. | :49:11. | |
adding a discretionary service charge of 13%. But it was revealed | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
none of his staff were getting any of it on top of their basic wages. | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
He has agreed to explain himself to The One Show. Because the customer | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
is thinking the service charge is going to the staff, they haven't | :49:24. | :49:26. | |
been leaving a tip on top of that. In effect what has happened is that | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
the waiting staff have not been getting their tips. That is just | :49:33. | :49:38. | |
indefensible on summary levels, isn't it? It is down to the | :49:39. | :49:46. | |
interpretation of tips. The harsh reality of the service charge is | :49:47. | :49:51. | |
that it goes through the books and props up wages. With due respect | :49:52. | :49:57. | |
though, I think that what customers actually feel is that this was a | :49:58. | :50:01. | |
deception. They are intending it as a tip. So what were you doing taking | :50:02. | :50:11. | |
that money? If... This is a very important point, actually. If a | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
restaurant or a hotel pays their staff the market price, and then | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
distributes the whole of the service charge without removing any of it, | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
that restaurant or Hotel would be bussed in three months. It is as | :50:26. | :50:31. | |
simple as that. Restaurants need that income. And it goes through the | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
books. It doesn't matter how you dress it up. Its revenue. If it goes | :50:36. | :50:42. | |
through the books, it is revenue. We asked the five biggest restaurant | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
chains in the UK how it operates. Those that do have a service charge | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
give it all to their staff on top of their wages. Michel Roux says there | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
is another reason he used his service charge as he did. I will | :50:54. | :50:59. | |
tell you the truth. The figure that you use to advertise yourself is | :51:00. | :51:04. | |
without service charge. And this is a very competitive world. Even in | :51:05. | :51:09. | |
the high and industry that I have. So my lunch menu at ?54 looks good. | :51:10. | :51:18. | |
Add another 13% on top of that and it pushes me up a bit. But it does | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
make that difference. A huge difference. I have to sell myself, I | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
have to be competitive. Admitting that the service charge can be | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
confusing, he is making a change. He is now incorporating the service | :51:34. | :51:37. | |
charge into his menu prices. So the confusion is cleared up. Maybe not. | :51:38. | :51:43. | |
From now on, written on both the menu and the bill will be, service | :51:44. | :51:49. | |
is included and no more payments or gratuity are necessary. Are they | :51:50. | :51:52. | |
going to get their gratuities? Because we are going to be written | :51:53. | :51:59. | |
clearly on the menu, service included, that means the price the | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
customer pays, everything is included in that. Any tips that will | :52:03. | :52:09. | |
be left on top of that, they will be distributed. That doesn't sound like | :52:10. | :52:13. | |
much of a solution to me. Who is going to leave an extra tip when the | :52:14. | :52:18. | |
bill says service is included, and no further gratuity is necessary? In | :52:19. | :52:22. | |
December it was also revealed that his staff had been getting less than | :52:23. | :52:26. | |
minimum wage, after working such long hours. Michel Roux said he had | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
been unaware of that issue and later paid them the money they world. What | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
you surprised to be in so much hot water about that? Or did you think | :52:36. | :52:42. | |
you deserve the flak you got? Absolutely, I deserved the flak. To | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
progress in life you have to face up two mistakes. I made a mistake. It | :52:47. | :52:53. | |
was one hell of a howling mistake. A genuine mistake. I'm passionate | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
about staff welfare, which made it even worse. It is so important for | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
me to remedy this, get it right and to move forward and learn from | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
mistakes. You can't go back in time and on do things. But you can affect | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
the future. Michel Roux Junior seemed to be very | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
honest with his perspective. Just to clarify, service charge is | :53:13. | :53:24. | |
not a tip? Exactly. Service charge added to the bill, a percentage of | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
the bill, and it will either normally say discretionary or | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
optional. If it doesn't say those things, you have to pay it because | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
it is perceived to be mandatory. That is a service charge. Gratuity | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
or a tip is supposed to be a spontaneous gesture. It's supposed | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
to have a gift element to it. It's because you want to reward the | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
servers or the staff because they have the neighbourly good job. You | :53:53. | :53:55. | |
can kind of do that if you are paying cash because it is going to | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
them and technically they are due that money. This is really silly... | :54:02. | :54:09. | |
I haven't even started yet! This is where if you pay on a credit card, | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
that technically goes into the business. The business owns that | :54:14. | :54:19. | |
money. Can I take notes? You need to! That is distributed often buy | :54:20. | :54:32. | |
this thing goal -- called the trunk, collection costs. That is a way of | :54:33. | :54:35. | |
distributing, pulling the money. You have a manager who pulls it between | :54:36. | :54:41. | |
the staff and the kitchen staff. Are you still with me? That can be a | :54:42. | :54:44. | |
fair way of doing it but there are problems within that as well. This | :54:45. | :54:52. | |
is the thing to remember. There is no legal requirement for the | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
management to pass on this money to the staff. That is where I've come | :54:58. | :55:04. | |
unstuck. Is the law likely to change? We saw that the workers | :55:05. | :55:10. | |
can't stop the restaurant from taking all of the service charge. | :55:11. | :55:14. | |
That is eerily good question. Because of all of the people | :55:15. | :55:18. | |
affected, about 2 million workers have tips as a result of their | :55:19. | :55:22. | |
working life. We have seen some high-profile demonstrations lately | :55:23. | :55:27. | |
where unions have joined in. Unions and restaurant staff haven't worked | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
together in the past. It is unlikely to disappear. The government is | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
bringing out consultation. We don't know what will be in that. They | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
didn't want that if the hospitality industry didn't get its act | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
together, legislation might happen. So I think we need to watch this | :55:45. | :55:48. | |
space. At the moment there is a voluntary code of conduct, best | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
described as toothless. Have you got e-mails from viewers? So many. This | :55:54. | :56:02. | |
is from Sue, who works in a small restaurant. I don't think it's me! | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
The tips are not given to them in the restaurant. She saves them up | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
for nights out. We have run out of time. We have to ask for the bill! | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
So many. Sue's programme, The Big Spell, | :56:20. | :56:20. | |

with your 90-second update. It's an important vote, and one that | :58:48. | :59:35. | |
brings Brexit a little closer. Tonight MPs have voted | :59:36. | :59:38. | |
in favour of the Brexit Bill. It means Theresa May now has | :59:39. | :59:40. | |
the power to trigger Article 50 - | :59:41. | :59:42. |
