IN WELSH: Helo a chroeso i'r One Show gyda Matt Baker a Alex

And fresh from the streets of Cardiff some very excited members

Later on we'll mark the occasion by telling the tale of a Welsh

who became a national hero by not winning a world championship title.

And our guest tonight is an actress who obviously has

a great eye for drama, as she's currently taking over telly

in three of the most popular shows on our screens.

And plays the new detective in the most unsuitably named town

Please welcome the very busy Katherine Kelly!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Hiya Katherine. Happy St David's Day. You

can take a daff home with you. I just taught my little girl to say

daffodil. So here you are in these three very popular shows, but if you

think about how lovely is to work with, put that to one side, as a

viewer which one do you enjoy the most when you are sitting watching

the telly. You've got do choose one. That's not true, but I think on a

Tuesday night I like Happy Valley. On a Friday night I like Mr

Selfridge and on a Sunday night I like The Night Manager. It is lucky

they are not on the same night. If you've ever stood

on your bathroom scales and not believed your eyes, the good news

is it might not be you. The One Show has found the scales

you rely on at home are often wrong from the moment you take

them out of the box. For those of you eating your tea you

might want to look away for the first few seconds. We've all been

there. Standing on the bathroom scales thinking, that can't be

right! Are we just kidding ourselves, or could we really be on

to something? Just how accurate are our bathroom scales? And are these

new fan dangled ones worth the extra money? So we are putting the five

best-selling bathroom scales to the test. A top of the range model, the

cheapest we could find, one of the most recognisable brand names, the

leading supermarket's own model and an old school mechanical scale.

Today's test rehearse all superfit gym bunnies who want an accurate

reading to help them stay in tip top condition. First they are all

weighed on professional medical scales this. One is regularly

checked for accuracy. Sarah is 49.9 kilograms. Jacob is 89en 9, and

Michael is 84. 5 kilograms. Then it is all aboard our scales with The

One Show researcher on hand to keep a close eye on the readings. They

are a bit awkward to read. Open your legs... 90.3, a bit heavier than the

other scales. The results are varied, to say the least. 50.2. You

are getting heavier as we go down the line. On the Tesco scales Sarah

weighed a third of a kilo more than on the medical ones, a and Michael

is 1.5 kilos less on the mechanical scales. You've gone down! I know.

The ones that compared the best to the professional scales were the

cheapest set of scales. So a bit of a surprise there. It is nice to know

you don't have to splash the cash to get a good set of scales. We like

saving money. So this Duronic has beaten its more expensive rivals

when tested by our volunteers. We need to test a weight that doesn't

change, like these, the weights used by Trading Standards officers like

Margaret Statham to test factory scales. None of the scales gives the

same reading, but because the margin of error stays the same you can

check any changes in your weight. You need to know if you've lost or

gained weight. All of them were consistent in that they weighed the

same amount every time you put the same weight on. Nowadays some

bathroom scales do a lot more than just give us our weight. Three of

our scales use special foot pad sensors to work out your body fat

%age. That's supposed to be a much better guide to how much fat you've

lost and how much muscle you've gained. But are our bathroom scales

accurate? This is the Dexa body -- body composition scanner. It gives a

digital breakdown of our volunteers' fat, muscle and bone. But do our

scales come anywhere near this level of precision? Compared to our gold

standard machine unfortunately they are just not showing the same. The

Tanita scales said Michael's body fat was about 14%. The Dexa, almost

21, the Duronic said Sarah was 10.5. The Dexa reading was 18.3. Jacob had

almost 23% on the weight watchers scales compared to 17% on the Dexa.

They are not even close. They are not. But they have their use in this

tracking changes in body composition. So you might as well

buy the cheapest one? To track changes, yes. So at ?9.99 the

Duronic was the winner. Burr remember, none of our scales were

100% accurate. Next time I step on the scales and get a nasty shock, it

really might be those scales. We contacted all the manufacturers

of the scales in our tests and those that responded say that while they

can't match the accuracy of the Dexa body scanner in the film, they aim

to produce quality products for personal use at an affordable price

that help people track their health Let's cheer ourselves up by talking

Happy Valley. All sorts of walks of life, goodness me. We don't want to

give too much away, but tell us about the back story of your

character, Jody. She wasn't in the first series. No, I suppose series 2

is still very much about Sarah Lancashire's character Katherine and

her sister and the family, and Tommy Lee Royce, who is now in prison.

That becomes Sarah's character's home life story. Back at the police

station, we quickly found out in the first episode it looks like there's

a serial killer on the loose, so some detectives are brought in

ectives are brought in to crack the case - myself, Vincent and Kevin

Doyle. From tonight's episode, Kevin Doyle's character isn't everything

you think he is. He isn't the legitimate detective that my

character Jody is. OK. We have got here the first scene that you and

Sarah Lancashire filmed. What I need you to do is to go away and look at

your smartphone, your diary, your pocket book, look at your work

roster, check your calendar at home and get back to us with an accurate

account, a chronological account of what you were doing on Saturday 23rd

July to Saturday 26th August. You are not a suspect.

APPLAUSE. Wow! A nice little bang on the Welsh drum there. We understand

you watched the first series on the other side of the world, in

Australia. Yes. And here you are in a series that's so close to home for

you. Yes. It's bizarre. I was over in Australia, for my maternity

leave, for ten months. Very good friends of Steve Pemberton. He was

in the series and I'm a big fan of Sally wane rights. So we sat there

with baby Orla and I thought I have to get the DVD of Happy Valley, as

everybody was talking about it. We pretty much watched it back to back,

we were hooked. When I came back we met up with Sally, and she said

there's a part in series 2 I really would like you to play. I couldn't

believe it. They literally film a 10 minutes drive from where my mum and

dad live. What's it like to be working so close to home for you?

It's great. It wasn't great timing in that I was still filming Mr

Selfridge, so I couldn't enjoy the fact I could go back home as much,

but I was really sat on trains from London to Yorkshire. But I really

enjoyed it. It's a beautiful part of the world and there's so much

filming up there now. It's fantastic. We were nearby a few

weeks ago in Hebden Bridge. It's been really praised for how accurate

it is to a real police force. A lot of policemen say that's the only

thing they can watch and not cringe. Sally Wainwright insisted on that.

How much shadowing and the rest of it did you do to get into your

character? We had CID training, the three of us that play the

detectives, up at hall facts and figures we even got to go to the pub

with them. Them. We wanted the full experience. But there's always

police supervisors on set, Sam and Lisa. They are constantly...

Literally everything, a scene, probably one of the few times you

see Jody not behind the desk, when they've got to get out fast. Even in

a case of but what would you pick up? What would you take? She is car

keys. Absolutely the car keys. They are so on it all the time. The

police officers that we did our CID training with said it's one of the

few police programmes that they can watch this they don't burst out

laughing and go, as if you've had do that! They think

What did you take from them on the day you were observing them and how

different would your performance be if you hadn't been with them? Loads

of things. I could fill the show with the things I learnt that day.

It was one of the most amazing days. This thing about detectives like

coming in and cracking a case doesn't exist. It is all about the

team. I think what I took from it is Jody's character, her background is

all that she did a law degree first and went to be a police officer.

She's the one who can do, you will see tonight and in future episodes,

she does the interviews, as she can get them to say the right things to

get a conviction and into court. You need a team, as it is all about

getting that conviction all day. Fascinating. We look forward to

seeing how the story unfolds. Also on Friday nights, as we've pointed

out, Mr Selfridge. You've been doing them back to back. It must have been

tough in terms of scheduling. I was so happy that we could make it work,

as it doesn't always. It is the goodwill of production companies to

share you a bit. It was nice to play opposite characters and to be a part

of both of them. Mr Selfridge, two more episodes to go and that's it.

It is the end of the character. Do you take the props home? A lot of it

is hired. But they gave me a beautiful dressing gown that she

wears and a little tea set. This was the big moment that went out on

Friday. The kiss. It's been building up for a long time. You've been in

so many big, big things in your career. We've actually got we think

your first television appearance, correct us if we are wrong. Last of

the Summer Wine. Quite a while ago. It says in this book one of the

major weapons in the armoury of the perfect home make ser a gift for

flower arranging. Charlene, it's not flower arranging.

APPLAUSE. Was it? I filmed that in Holmfirth as well. Did you? It is

like full circle. What are your memories of Last of the Summer Wine?

It was bizarre. They hadn't even locked down a supermarket. It was

supermarket I used to go to with my friends who lived up the road. So

many people were like, Kate! We had to do it so many times. It was the

most bizarre thing. I still don't know what I'm talking about - flower

arranging? Happy Valley is on tonight, continues at 9 o'clock on

BBC One. Joining us tonight is Andrew

who nearly one year ago underwent ground breaking surgery to solve

decades of debilitating knee pain. That experiment is still growing

inside Andy as we speak and before we find out the results,

here's Michael Mosley 45-year-old father of two, Andrew,

is about to undergo surgery. He has badly damaged the cartilage in his

knee and it has become so painful it is affecting his quality of life.

Andrew is one of 10,000 people in the UK who suffer from serious

cartilage damage. Cartilage plays a crucial role, protecting the knee

from everyday wear and tear. This is a model of the knee with the muscle

on top and you can see there is a little rubber disc between the two

bones. That is the cartilage and their job is to act as shock

absorbers and protect the join. Cartilage takes a lot of punishment

which means it can be easily damaged whatever your age and activity.

Unlike normal tissue it does not have its own blood supply, so when

it gets damaged it is extremely poor on going back or healing. The

current treatment is an operation to encourage the growth of scar tissue.

An orthopaedic surgeon explains. You make some holes in the bone and they

stimulate leading and form a clot over the joint surface defect. Over

time that clot changes into scarred tissue and that protects the exposed

bone. But there are problems with this treatment. The short-term

results are pretty good, but long-term we know the strength of

that scar tissue is not strong and it breaks down and patients get the

symptoms again. Which can lead to more surgery. So they are testing an

extraordinary procedure, to grow new cartilage within the knee. It is the

first clinical trial of its kind in the UK and Andrew is one of the

first patients to be operated on. What they are about to do is very

new and very experimental. He is going to inject into the knee joint

some stem cells. Stem cells can become many different types of cell.

This gives them the ability to divide and regenerate into tissue

cells damaged by injury or disease. They are part of the body's built in

repair kit. It is this unique power they are hoping to harness in this

trial. The bone is perforated, but instead of leaving it at that, they

take a further step. He extracts bone marrow from Andrew's pelvis,

which is particularly rich in stem cells. These are mixed with a

special gel that allows them to stick to the bone and stimulates

growth. This is the stem cell mixture in it in a syringe. We

squirt it into that area rather like putting Polyfilla on a wall and over

time that transforms into normal cartilage. It will be months before

they know if the stem cells have successfully developed into new

cartilage. I expect to see improvements within six months. Then

we follow them up annually after that because the proof of the

pudding is how well do these people do over a period of time? And have

they had a marked improvement in their quality of life? Andrew and

Gorav are here with us. What was it like looking inside your own knee?

It was quite good actually. Something nobody else ever gets to

see. That was in March, last year, how is your knee feeling now and

what can you do now that you could not do? Walk around without paying

basically, a lot of freedom and movement to do things I could not do

before like going shopping, going out for a walk with the dogs. No

pain. No pain at all? Very little pain. That is pretty amazing. After

an hour I would start getting pain before. I have got to the limit

where I do not feel pain unless it is after 12 hours or something.

Gorav, tell us about the trial. It is great to see he has got such a

resolution of his symptoms and no pain. It is called the Abacus trial

and is based in Southampton. One group of patients get the standard

treatment with perforations in the bone and bleeding and the scar

tissue to protect the bone. Andrew's group, we get the stem cells from

the pelvis and we Polyfilla over the defect and what we are hoping for is

that it grows cartilage, rather like growing a long way you put damaged

seeds on the area of the damage long and it repairs. You have not been

able to look inside your knee to see whether or not it is successful.

Gorav, you have brought some scans with you. Let's look at the picture

before the operation. This is the side view of an MRI scan. The knee

cap is visible and the white is the joint fluid. Immediately behind it

there is a crater. What you should see is a thin, grey membrane which

is the cartilage. In that picture there is no cartilage. And then we

have the picture of the knee after the operation. Here we go, tell us

what is different. This is about a year after. You can see you have

still got the fluid, but behind that you can see a thin layer of grey

lining coating the bone. That is cartilage, or a cartilage type

substance which is protecting the bone and allowing him to have less

symptoms. So it is working, do you expect this to continue? How long

will the trial go on? It is ongoing and we will monitor patients five

years down the line because that will tell as if it is successful.

What we do not want is the cartilage to break down and leave exposed

bone. If we have lack of symptoms at five years, we will have success.

Could this be a solution for arthritis sufferers? People get

arthritis in two different ways. One is general underpinning of the

joints, a long that goes barren through lack of grass and grows

Brown. This is for treatment of people with arthritis and to start

with a defect. Thank you very much. Being Saint David's day, it is only

fitting we take time to celebrate another legendary Welsh man. Who

have you gone for? Jim Driscoll, because he is one boxer's uncrowned

kings the ring who missed his date with destiny for a very good reason.

Long before Joe Calzaghe, south Wales has had a passion for boxing,

never more so when fighters first laced up their gloves more than a

century ago. One Cardiff boxer, Jim Driscoll, inspired such devotion

that 100,000 mourners lined the streets for his funeral. So how did

a boxer who never actually became world champion gained such affection

that the public demanded a send off fit for a Royal? It is the nearest

thing we have ever had in Wales to a state funeral. I think Jim was one

of these people who actually transcended his spot. He was born in

abject poverty just a few yards from this very stature. He was the son of

Irish parents and he cared deeply about the people in his community.

Through his achievements in the boxing ring and charitable work, he

was able to unite the whole community. Jim Driscoll progressed

from the fairground boxing booths of south Wales to British and Empire

titles. He took America by storm with a winning run against the best

featherweight of the early 1900th. In 1909, he was rewarded with a

fight against the formidable world featherweight champion. He was so

skilful, he gave him a boxing lesson. He clearly won seven of the

ten rounds. The unfortunate thing was you were in the era of no

decision contests in America. Unlike this match Jim Ford in Britain, the

American fight was under American no decision rules were champions could

keep their titles as long as they were not knocked out. Although

ringside journalists made Jim Driscoll the clear points winner,

his opponents stayed on his feet and did not give up the championship. He

was not world champion in name, but he got the better of him on that

particular night. There was talk of an immediate rematch. But the

rematch date clashed with a promised Jim Driscoll had made to attend a

fundraiser. Incredibly he chose to turn down the biggest fight of his

career to return home and support an orphanage. If that happened today,

people would have had a completely different reaction. You may get

people who would say the boxer in question had got licked, but we

cannot understand at this distance the kind of poverty people were

experiencing in this area of Cardiff. He was prepared to

sacrifice the ultimate achievement in the boxing ring for the people

who were dependent to a large extent on his efforts on their behalf. The

intervention of World War I and poor health meant that Jim Driscoll had

missed his last shot at the title. That is an incredible decision, to

forfeit a chance at going for a world title because he had made this

promise. We need to remember how things started out for Jim Driscoll.

His father died when he was a few months old. His mother had to take

on work in the docks. He would have seen the sacrifices that his mother

had to make and growing up in that poverty he thought, if I can do

something about this, I sure am going to. Jim Driscoll died of new

mania aged just 44. At his funeral procession thousands upon thousands

of men, women and children paid their respects on the streets of

Cardiff. Jim Driscoll's fundraising helped the orphanage survived and in

return they did him a posthumous favour. The orphanage paid for Jim

Driscoll's gravestone and decided to rewrite a little bit of boxing

history. Peerless Jim was never officially world champion, but on

his gravestone that is how the orphans wanted Tim remembered. And

this is the irony because David, not Saint David, just David, your

grandfather, great-grandfather, played a part in the reason why Jim

Driscoll never became champion. Well, my grandfather fought him in

an exhibition fight in Cardiff and everybody reckoned he beat him. My

grandfather was champion of Wales at the time, but you could not have

somebody who was potentially a world champion beating the Welsh champion,

could you? Absolutely not. My grandfather always said that he beat

him. Foxes are generally fair. That is not the reason why you are here.

No, I was fascinated with Jim Driscoll. You have all just come

from Cardiff and there are so many outfits to talk about. Let's have a

look at yours. This is the same David's cloth. You can see the

colours of the flag and that is the Harada symbol of Saint David, the

cross of Saint David. And this is the Welsh sporran. I can see why you

went for that, it matches your moustache. No, I grew that after. A

lot of people will say, that is associated with the Scots, but the

Welsh court in just before. A long time before. All the Celts used to

wear one piece of weaving. Killed were warned by the Celts and we know

that for a fact because there are many graves in Wales where the Welsh

men were buried in the effigy is in a kilt. This was way back before

Victorian times when Scottish kilts took off. You wear it well. Let's

have a word with you. Why are you wearing this? I am the shape

shifting goddess. I am partly human and sometimes I change into a crow

and I carry people off the field into the back of the other world.

Let's move aside so that we can see everybody. Thank you so much for

making the journey from Cardiff. Happy Saint David's day. Let's have

a bit of piping, that is all we have got time for tonight. A big thank

you to Katherine. Happy Valley continues tonight at nine o'clock on

BBC One.
