:00:22. > :00:26.Hi, this is The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:26. > :00:33.Tonight's guests both started out as aspiring musicians, one, a
:00:33. > :00:38.baritone opera singer, the other a budding pop star who still likes to
:00:38. > :00:46.croon. # Take my hand
:00:46. > :00:53.# Let me take you to love land... # Please welcome Lenny Henry!
:00:53. > :01:01.And Kevin McCloud! What a pair you are! Are you the
:01:01. > :01:07.one top? Really sorry. You did a bit of backing vocals for Kate Bush
:01:07. > :01:13.didn't you? I did, yes, I'm in the Red Shoes album, I'm sure Kate
:01:13. > :01:17.regrets it now. I got some scrambled eggs out of it. It was a
:01:17. > :01:23.lovely afternoon. She was fantastic. We haven't got any footage of your
:01:23. > :01:29.singing, Kevin. What a shame! I burnt it all. But you wanted to be
:01:29. > :01:34.an opera star at one point? I might have wanted to be at one point.
:01:34. > :01:44.heard that you had to be convinced to come back to college. How old
:01:44. > :01:45.
:01:45. > :01:53.were you then? 19.You had a voice? I was a crooner, yes. This is you
:01:53. > :02:03.at Cambridge, a super silly smug git - was that the name of your
:02:03. > :02:04.
:02:04. > :02:10.band?! Everybody had a brown tie. It was full of scientists. Someone
:02:10. > :02:14.asked me do I remember anyone from that photograph. I remembered
:02:14. > :02:18.nearly everybody. There's at least one cross-dressing judge there,
:02:18. > :02:21.international lawyers and Professors and me and Tom Stewart-
:02:21. > :02:26.Smith, the wonderful garden designer. Of course. Would you like
:02:26. > :02:33.to point out the cross-dressing High Court judge? No. He's at home
:02:33. > :02:38.now going "No!". Just look for the hair, it's already there. It's like
:02:38. > :02:47.the world's maddest boy band. really good hair there. Of course,
:02:47. > :02:53.Kevin, we know you... I've gone all defensive now, look. You are
:02:53. > :02:57.judging shed of the year? This is the most exciting thing for me this
:02:57. > :03:05.year. Why do you love it so much?I took a year to build my own shed,
:03:05. > :03:10.we made a series about it which was epic and great fun. A year to make
:03:10. > :03:15.a shed? A slow shed. Slow food, slow living, slow shed, so it was a
:03:15. > :03:20.slow build project, very slow. Very small shed. OK.And this year we
:03:20. > :03:24.are going to do more. We are taking the shed on holiday this year.
:03:24. > :03:30.We'll find out more about that. We have a shed theme. Very excited.We
:03:30. > :03:34.are looking for shetdz in desperate need to have a Grand Design make-
:03:34. > :03:40.over. -- sheds. Perhaps they are so full you can't shut the door. What
:03:40. > :03:44.is yours like? It's packed, organised chaos, I know where
:03:44. > :03:47.everything is. We'll be talking chimpanzees with the Steven
:03:47. > :03:55.Spielberg of nature. We'll be asking, why did the brides cross
:03:55. > :04:00.the bridge, 5070 of them, -- 500 of them, poised and ready to cross.
:04:00. > :04:04.And we are looking for some carnival Queens. Maybe some were in
:04:04. > :04:10.your school photo there! Anyway, the producers of Grand Designs must
:04:10. > :04:15.secretly keep a special look out for projects that are likely to go
:04:15. > :04:20.wrong. As Angela Rippon discovers, when things don't go as planned,
:04:20. > :04:24.it's no laughing matter. These Housing Association homes in
:04:24. > :04:27.Coventry look really nice and they are supposed to be eco-friendly and
:04:27. > :04:33.affordable. Trouble is that some of the residents I've talked to tell
:04:33. > :04:37.me they've turned out to be anything but. Tell me what you were
:04:37. > :04:41.told about the heating system in the house? They said it would only
:04:41. > :04:46.cost us no more than �30-�35 a month to run the whole system but
:04:46. > :04:52.it hasn't worked out that way. My first ever bill, I'd only been in
:04:52. > :04:56.the house four months and it was for �2,700. It's an absolute
:04:57. > :05:00.nightmare, it really is. I'm never going to be out of debt with it.
:05:00. > :05:06.What would you like to happen ideally? I would like them to rip
:05:06. > :05:11.it out and smash it up. So why are Debra's bills and those of her
:05:11. > :05:15.fellow residents so high? Debra's home, like most on the estate, is
:05:15. > :05:20.fitted with this heating system which is made by the Swedish
:05:20. > :05:24.company, NIBI. Called an exhaust air source heat bump, it works by
:05:24. > :05:28.taking the haets from the waste air leaving your house and then pumping
:05:28. > :05:33.it back into your home to help provide heating and hot water --
:05:33. > :05:37.heat from the waste air. Sounds like a practical solution and when
:05:37. > :05:42.it works properly, it should be energy efficient. Sadly, many on
:05:42. > :05:46.this estate have said that's not the case, that in fact they've been
:05:46. > :05:51.saddled with horrendous electricity bills that have left them in
:05:51. > :05:57.serious debt. I'm now in �1700 worth of debt. At
:05:57. > :06:02.this moment in time, I'm paying �351 a month for my direct debit
:06:02. > :06:06.and during the cold period when we had the snow, my bill was �5 57 for
:06:06. > :06:12.one month's electricity. month?! Yes.
:06:12. > :06:16.Over the past three years, it's increased. Basically, I think it's
:06:16. > :06:20.just under �4,000 now that I owe. One explanation for the homes that
:06:20. > :06:24.have been hit with costly bills is that the system's heat puch simply
:06:24. > :06:31.is not big enough to heat the property, causing the more
:06:31. > :06:35.expensive backup emergs to kick in -- the heat pump -- emergs to kick
:06:35. > :06:40.This is not isolated. We have heard of hundreds of cases where this
:06:40. > :06:44.system's been installed in houses all over the country. An estimated
:06:44. > :06:47.15,000 NIBI systems have been fitted nationwide but dozens of the
:06:47. > :06:52.people whose homes have one have told us that it's done the opposite
:06:52. > :06:56.of what was expected, putting bills up instead of down. We've asked the
:06:56. > :07:00.Housing Association who agreed to install them here to meet some of
:07:00. > :07:03.the disgruntled residents. I've been in court three or four
:07:03. > :07:07.different Wednesday afternoons I've had to take off work to go to court
:07:07. > :07:12.to argue to not get pre-payment metres fitted in my house because
:07:12. > :07:16.if they do, I won't be able to afford to heat my house for my
:07:16. > :07:20.children. Now, how can you stand there and say this is an OK
:07:20. > :07:24.situation? Well, it's not an OK situation, which is exactly the
:07:24. > :07:29.reason... Why hasn't notice been taken of us before? Three years
:07:29. > :07:33.we've been living like this? Well, we've now established a team of
:07:33. > :07:36.people who'll be working with you. We'll meet with everybody on this
:07:36. > :07:41.estate that has a concern of this nature. I know you have been well
:07:41. > :07:44.aware of this problem. What are you going to do for them? One thing we
:07:44. > :07:47.have had to do is talk to technical people who've been looking at the
:07:47. > :07:53.properties and time and again they are saying they are fit for purpose
:07:53. > :07:56.and so on. Clearly, particularly in the larger homes we are not. I can
:07:56. > :07:59.say we'll replace the systems because the evidence from the bills
:07:59. > :08:03.that people are talking about is that they are not performing as
:08:03. > :08:07.they should do. With the Housing Association taking the flak, what
:08:07. > :08:12.do manufacturers NIBE have to say? They insist the systems are
:08:12. > :08:18.suitable and any fail yours are as a result of poor specification or
:08:18. > :08:21.installation or even user error. We've got thousands of these units
:08:21. > :08:26.installed throughout the country from the Highlands of Scotland all
:08:26. > :08:29.the way down to the south coast. The majority of them are running
:08:29. > :08:34.fairly efficiently, very effectively. The Housing
:08:34. > :08:37.Association say they invested on the basis that the system was cost
:08:37. > :08:41.effective but feel it's not delivering what they were expecting.
:08:41. > :08:48.Let me tell you that on this site, the Housing Association feel
:08:48. > :08:52.perhaps that you have missold the boilers. That's their view.They
:08:52. > :08:55.are not up to the job that they need of them? That's contrary to
:08:55. > :09:03.the meetings I've had with the Housing Association. There's been
:09:03. > :09:06.no mention of that at all, you know. That comes as a big surprise.
:09:06. > :09:10.NIBE insist there's nothing wrong with their system and blame the way
:09:10. > :09:15.that it's been installed. But the residents aren't bothered who's to
:09:15. > :09:21.blame, they are just desperate for the situation to be resolved.
:09:21. > :09:26.I feel terribly sorry for Debra. Astronomical bills. We have an June
:09:26. > :09:29.date -- update. A specialist consultant is going to calculate
:09:30. > :09:33.the average heating bill each house should have, they'll review this
:09:33. > :09:36.against the average running cost and have established a hardship
:09:36. > :09:41.fund to assist those with bills that haven't matched up. They say
:09:41. > :09:44.they've made a commitment to replace the NIBE boilers, in the
:09:44. > :09:47.larger four and five bedroomed houses and they are holding
:09:47. > :09:51.surgeries with the tenants who are concerned.
:09:51. > :09:53.Probably quite important to point out that the manufacturers NIBE say
:09:53. > :09:57.thousands of people who have this system installed haven't
:09:57. > :10:02.experienced the same problems that we featured there in the film.
:10:02. > :10:08.Kevin, you are an eco ambassador, what system do you have in your
:10:08. > :10:15.house? Well, I've got a combined hybrid thermal unit with two heat
:10:15. > :10:18.pumps! I'm not joking. And a biomass backup and a ventilation
:10:18. > :10:22.heat recovery system, not the one we are talking about here. The
:10:22. > :10:24.point really is that in the UK, we generally, historically, we have
:10:24. > :10:27.liked our houses to be straightforward and simple and we
:10:27. > :10:33.generally, in order to control the heating turn up the thermostat and
:10:33. > :10:39.control the temperature by opening the window. That's what we do.
:10:39. > :10:43.Whereas these systems are designed for super airtight buildings in
:10:43. > :10:46.places like Scandinavia and Austria where for decades people have been
:10:46. > :10:51.used to treating their homes like machines and people have been
:10:51. > :10:55.building them like machines, whereas we tend to build to poor
:10:55. > :10:59.standards of construction in the UK. Much as it might be simple to point
:10:59. > :11:05.the finger at the technology, I know how ko-smplex the building is
:11:05. > :11:08.and it's the interface between the different technologies which isn't
:11:08. > :11:11.new yet and it's the consumer interface and the standard of
:11:11. > :11:14.building which we have got to improve in the UK. Lenny, very
:11:14. > :11:21.quiet at the moment but you are here. Keeping out of the way. What
:11:21. > :11:27.I do is, it says twice or continuance or once and I just get
:11:27. > :11:35.it so that it's freezing in the morning and hot in the night. Hit
:11:35. > :11:39.it with a haerm. We'll talk to you about acting in a while -- with a
:11:39. > :11:44.hammer. In a story that has many similarities, Angelica has the tale
:11:44. > :11:50.of a man refused a job driving a Bristol bus because of the colour
:11:50. > :11:53.of his skin. These days, Bristol is a vibrant
:11:53. > :11:56.multicultural city. But 50 years ago, it was embroiled in a race row
:11:56. > :12:00.that shook the establishment to its core.
:12:00. > :12:05.This is the story of the Bristol bus boycott.
:12:05. > :12:09.In 1963, a young black youth worker called Paul Stevenson, heard
:12:09. > :12:13.rumours that despite having vacancies, the Bristol omnibus
:12:13. > :12:16.company refused to hire black bus workers. Paul had a job but knew
:12:16. > :12:21.someone who didn't. Because he had an English accent, Paul rang the
:12:21. > :12:26.bus company to set up the interview. The candidate was an 18-year-old
:12:26. > :12:29.guy Bailey who'd arrived from Jamaica. He was well qualified and
:12:29. > :12:34.keen. So what happened when you went to
:12:34. > :12:42.the interview, Guy? Obviously, she said to the manager something to
:12:42. > :12:46.the effect that the appointment is here and he's black. He simply said
:12:46. > :12:52.just tell him all vacancies are full. To be quite honest with you,
:12:52. > :13:02.I felt unwanted. After the incident, you went and saw the manager
:13:02. > :13:06.directly, Paul, didn't you? They said they had an unracist policy. I
:13:06. > :13:10.said we'd take steps to end it and he told me to have my demonstration
:13:10. > :13:13.and said it wouldn't make any difference. Why did you do that?No
:13:13. > :13:18.rights. None whatsoever. Paul and others from the local community
:13:18. > :13:24.sest up the west Indian development council and on the 29th April, 1963,
:13:24. > :13:29.they arranged a press conference where Paul called on Bristolians to
:13:29. > :13:33.boycott the buses. The 3,000-strong community did that, along with many
:13:33. > :13:38.Bristol university student who is arranged a protest march. The
:13:38. > :13:42.company stood firm. We intend to go on engaging white
:13:42. > :13:47.labour, rather than coloured labour. There was a genuine fear that jobs
:13:47. > :13:51.would be at stake if black people came on the buses. We don't want
:13:51. > :13:55.'em on there, that's the main reason. You look at it this way,
:13:55. > :14:00.there ain't gonna be enough work for the whites, let 'loan the
:14:00. > :14:05.blacks. As much influential support as possible was gathered, including
:14:05. > :14:10.Tony Benn. The High Commissioner for Trinidad and Tobago brought
:14:10. > :14:13.national attention to this local story and lost his job as a result.
:14:13. > :14:16.What about the West Indies cricketers, do you think they are
:14:16. > :14:20.having any trouble? They are not, but surely they can't be happy
:14:20. > :14:26.playing knowing their countrymen are discriminated against 50 yards
:14:26. > :14:32.from the playing field. He was a rock at the time they were trying
:14:32. > :14:36.to isolate me. He supported us and he lost his job. Over the summer of
:14:36. > :14:39.1963, the campaign took to the streets, but the Bristol company
:14:39. > :14:44.and the local branch of the Transport and General Workers'
:14:44. > :14:48.Union refused to overturn the ban. They didn't understand what the
:14:48. > :14:53.fuss was about, they were comfortable with the status quo so
:14:53. > :14:58.they tried to characterise Paul Stevenson as outrageous and the
:14:58. > :15:02.west Indian development councillors were unreasonable to work with.
:15:02. > :15:06.This he brought a dynamism which to Bristol City Council and the
:15:06. > :15:10.regional union branch by come plait surprise. They'd never seen nip
:15:10. > :15:16.like him -- complete. The sheer force of public national publicity
:15:16. > :15:26.and even international really forced the hand of the bus company.
:15:26. > :15:37.
:15:37. > :15:42.On the 28th August, 1963, the antedian will take his job on the
:15:42. > :15:46.bus. I think he will get on with the bus crews and all will be all all
:15:46. > :15:52.right. Weeks later Bristol had its first nonwhite bus conductor. The
:15:52. > :15:58.campaign would lay the foundations for the 19 65 Race Relations Act.
:15:58. > :16:02.The 19 63 Bristol bus boycott campaign lasted four months. It's
:16:02. > :16:08.impact still resonates today. It took the bravery of Paul Stephenson
:16:08. > :16:12.and his friends to stand up to the institutionalised racism and change
:16:12. > :16:17.Britain forever. You were saying there, extraordinary. Unbelievable
:16:17. > :16:22.footage that was in that film there? Extraordinary story. I'm sure people
:16:22. > :16:27.are looking back at that wondering what world we were in when that
:16:27. > :16:31.bridge and discrimination was allowed to go on. My parents were
:16:31. > :16:35.discriminated against when they came to bridge. -- Britain. Prejudice was
:16:35. > :16:40.shown to me every day at school at one point. Until I learnt to come
:16:40. > :16:44.back at bullies with humour, my life was misery for a very long time. I
:16:44. > :16:48.understand what these guys went through. I'm glad I was so young I
:16:48. > :16:52.wouldn't be able to be involved. I would have liked to have carried a
:16:52. > :16:55.plaque card, at least, as a four-year-old child. An
:16:55. > :17:05.extraordinary story. Putting your personal experience into this new
:17:05. > :17:10.play. The story lines ring true? guy in Fences is a binman. In '50s
:17:10. > :17:16.America the black guys lifted the barrels, the white guys drove the
:17:16. > :17:22.truck. Troy challenges his bosses and asks how they don't goat drive.
:17:22. > :17:27.It's a brave thing for him to do. He is kind of fearless. Rosa Parks only
:17:28. > :17:32.sat down at the front of a bus because she is tired and doesn't
:17:32. > :17:38.want to move. There isn't a class ceiling, interest is steel one. It's
:17:38. > :17:43.a difficult time time for this play to take place. The author of the
:17:43. > :17:47.play wrote a play set in a different decade about the African-American
:17:47. > :17:54.struggle trying to get a purchase in the American dream. He has been
:17:54. > :17:58.called the black Shakespeare. His plays are wonderful. He has very
:17:58. > :18:03.deeply flawed protagonists that seem intent on bringing down their
:18:03. > :18:10.family. Troy is like that. An amazing play. I'm honoured to be in
:18:10. > :18:16.it. You are used to hearing laughter on stage. This play invites a
:18:16. > :18:20.different reaction, it is emotional? Yes. Similar to Othello, people
:18:20. > :18:25.would be crying. With this play it's emotional that people want to hug
:18:25. > :18:29.you. They are crying at the end, "it's like my dad, my mum was like
:18:29. > :18:39.that." Incredibly moved. For an African-American play in Britain. We
:18:39. > :18:42.
:18:42. > :18:47.went on a tour to Bath, Milton Keynes and Mold there were few black
:18:47. > :18:51.beam say the play. All white people, all weeping, relating to the play as
:18:51. > :18:59.a universal matter. Some greats played your role. You were
:18:59. > :19:04.introduced by James... Yes James Earl Jones introduced me to the
:19:05. > :19:09.play. He told me about it, he say said you won't do this until you are
:19:09. > :19:15.in your '50s. You need few years on the clock. You have been waiting?I
:19:15. > :19:23.thought, OK, let's look at it. I read it and thought it's perfect. A
:19:23. > :19:29.flawed man. Like my dad. Troy makes my dad look like he is sing singing
:19:29. > :19:35.along type of guy. There are references to the N word? It's 19
:19:35. > :19:40.57. There is huge prejudice in America and black people use the N
:19:40. > :19:45.word as a word of saying, if we have Owrenship of this word we can stop
:19:45. > :19:50.other people getting to us and hurting us. Nowaday it is's used in
:19:50. > :19:56.hip-hop records as ownership. It's part of the dialogue. Reginald D
:19:56. > :20:01.Hunter... He was on last week or the week before he uses the word lots?
:20:01. > :20:05.He is known for using this word in his show. It's crazy of those guys
:20:05. > :20:11.to employ him knowing the comedian he was. He is American. Used to
:20:11. > :20:15.using the word all the time. Not like us all here. Relates to the
:20:15. > :20:19.football footballers who got upset when he used the word. You feel they
:20:19. > :20:25.should have known what they were booking? Should have looked at him
:20:25. > :20:31.on YouTube and thought- he does that, does he? Let's get Lee Evans.
:20:31. > :20:39.Back to Fences, there is pressure on the shoulders, you were in the Top
:20:39. > :20:46.10 in Othello? It's scary thing. To have played Othello and do this play
:20:46. > :20:53.that James Earl Jones, Denzel Washington and Laurence Fishburne
:20:53. > :20:57.amazing actors. I could be excused for lying on the floor in a foetal
:20:57. > :21:02.position saying- too much pressure! What the director said to all of us
:21:02. > :21:06.was, never mind all of that, how are we going to tell this story? Lots of
:21:06. > :21:10.hard work went into it. Movement, singing and accent work until on the
:21:10. > :21:20.first night we were ready, we weren't frightened and got on with
:21:20. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:34.it. You can see Lenny in Fences from 19th June at the Duchess Theatre in
:21:34. > :21:38.London. Scouts has never been more popular, so much so that 35,000
:21:38. > :21:46.children are waiting to join groups due to a shortage of adult
:21:46. > :21:53.volunteers. Thanks to a couple of Scout leaders in Hampshire that one
:21:53. > :21:59.group has -- was saved from disaster. In 2006 in Hampshire an
:21:59. > :22:05.arn attack on a scout hut left it damaged beyond repair. We were
:22:05. > :22:09.watching the telly. The phone rang. Your Scout building is on fire. We
:22:09. > :22:15.ran. I cried and cried. I cried a river. Not only the building went,
:22:15. > :22:23.everything went. It was like losing your home really. Just absolutely
:22:23. > :22:28.devastating. Over the 27 years that Chris and Barry have run the Scouts,
:22:28. > :22:31.500 kids have been involved. When the hut burnt down, they knew they
:22:31. > :22:36.needed to raise thousands towards building a new one. It's been six
:22:36. > :22:40.years of hard work for Chris and Barry. I'm glad they pulled it off.
:22:40. > :22:43.After all those duck races and fundraising events, it's time for us
:22:43. > :22:49.to recognise their achievements. It's Saturday, Chris and Barry are
:22:49. > :22:53.away on a Scouting training course. They won't be back until 4. 00pm
:22:53. > :22:58.when the One Show has a surprise in store for them. As a thank you, we
:22:58. > :23:03.are arranging a big camp fire cookup. They know nothing about it.
:23:03. > :23:11.Today, I'm not allowed to cook anything. It's all down to the
:23:11. > :23:16.Beavers, Cubs Scouts, they will do it all, maybe with help from me. We
:23:16. > :23:22.have a plan! In my day when we needed to raise money there was
:23:22. > :23:29.always Bob a Job Week. I'm trying to get local food producers and
:23:29. > :23:34.suppliers to give us food in exchange for hard craft. We want to
:23:34. > :23:42.feed 100 hungry mouths tonight. First stop the local bakers to clean
:23:42. > :23:47.their ovens. How is it going, guys? Perfect! Good.I'm going to give you
:23:47. > :23:54.all the long rolls and baps there. Thank you very very much. Have bread
:23:54. > :24:00.rolls. All over theville wage are doing odd-jobs. At the butchers it's
:24:00. > :24:06.weeding. I'm used to getting my hands dirty, not like this. One tray
:24:06. > :24:11.of burgers for you and sausages for you. At the supermarket it's helping
:24:11. > :24:15.to pack bags. Would you like us to pack your shopping? I would love you
:24:15. > :24:19.to. Thank you very much. The team stack fruit and vegetables in
:24:19. > :24:24.another shop. Chris and Barry would be proud. They are an inspiration,
:24:24. > :24:31.no other word for it. If I grow up to be half a man that Barry is I
:24:31. > :24:38.will consider myself lucky. For all that craft we are giving a load of
:24:38. > :24:44.veg g. -- veg eg. Time is ticking on. Our last chance is the farm shop
:24:44. > :24:51.where they are fans of Chris and Barry. They do so much for the
:24:51. > :25:01.community. We are pleased to have them in our village. You were a boy
:25:01. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:11.cub or a Sc Owl -- Scout. I was.He wants us to clean this tracter.
:25:11. > :25:16.People say showbiz is glamorous. Is it a mucky job? Yeah.It is. It is a
:25:16. > :25:21.job worth doing. We get more sausages and burgers. All great
:25:21. > :25:25.additions to our camp fire cookup. It's 2. 00pm and the food is coming
:25:25. > :25:29.in thick and fast. Local primary head teacher has opened up the
:25:29. > :25:33.school kitchens for us. There is so much to do before we surprise Chris
:25:33. > :25:39.and Barry who arrive in two hours' time. I'm getting seriously
:25:39. > :25:44.stressed. Move in quickly, please, guys. Thank you. Barry and Chris
:25:44. > :25:51.still have no idea what is going on. With the whole village in on the
:25:51. > :25:57.act, let us hope we can keep it a secret. Part two is on its way later
:25:57. > :26:07.on. You never see me and Ainsley in the same room! I'm not saying
:26:07. > :26:09.
:26:09. > :26:16.anything. You were a Scout?I was a cub. So he was. He got my plasticine
:26:16. > :26:23.badge. I got my pimping badge. you gate design badge? Bob a Job
:26:23. > :26:27.Week. Great.You couldn't do that now. You couldn't do Bob a Job there
:26:27. > :26:32.would be health and safety issues. You haven't got time. You are
:26:32. > :26:37.constantly filming? Too busy to be a cub now, yes. Grand Designs is more
:26:37. > :26:42.than a television programme now it's an exhibition? We are on at Excel
:26:42. > :26:46.this Saturday for 10 days. What is on offer? We have 100,000 people
:26:47. > :26:52.turn up. We have exhibitors and we have our home of the future,
:26:52. > :27:00.eco-home of the future. Electric cars. All kinds of homes on show.
:27:00. > :27:03.Some small and large. We are launching National Self- Neck week.
:27:03. > :27:12.I could talk for hours on that. You were saying this afternoon, you are
:27:12. > :27:16.looking for a new place? I'm looking for a house. I might build one. Matt
:27:16. > :27:24.went... You are building one from a kit? I thought I might get one of
:27:24. > :27:30.those that come in a flat-pack and you build it. With a giant Allen
:27:30. > :27:40.key. You could walk in with your plans. They walked in... A lot of
:27:40. > :27:42.
:27:42. > :27:52.money to spend. Came up with this. Is this there? Have we a picture of
:27:52. > :27:56.it. There it is. It looks like the Edden Project. Like a melted
:27:56. > :28:01.training shoe. Do you like this, honestly? It's big and expensive.
:28:01. > :28:09.There they are, hand and hand walking up the drive. They
:28:09. > :28:13.disappear. Huge.There is a lot of these blobby buildings. Section 55
:28:13. > :28:19.say that is if you have a lot of money and you want to involve an
:28:19. > :28:24.expensive architect and build a super eco hope and -- home a can do
:28:24. > :28:29.so in open countryside. We are opposed to building anything in open
:28:29. > :28:34.countryside they are designing houses that look like the country
:28:34. > :28:38.side, blobby things that disappear. Some say that is a good thing. Some
:28:38. > :28:41.people say we should be more assertive with what we do. That
:28:42. > :28:47.house doesn't despair into the country side. It doesn't when viewed
:28:47. > :28:53.from space. It will look from a hill from three or four miles away.
:28:53. > :28:59.grass on their roof and set into the landscape? That is it. We are almost
:28:59. > :29:04.unique in Europe in adopting this style of semi visible Telly Tubby
:29:04. > :29:08.architecture. It's a way to go. delighted you are on here. I watch
:29:08. > :29:14.you on television more than anybody else. I'm over the moon of this new
:29:14. > :29:18.series coming out. Who is in it? What sort of houses have you?
:29:18. > :29:21.have amazing houses. A conversion of a cinema in Doncaster. We thought
:29:21. > :29:25.this might be exciting? Beautiful with Polish concrete walls and
:29:26. > :29:35.floors. The couple wanted to live in a cottage. Their architect persuaded
:29:35. > :29:39.them not to do this. Live in a cinema instead? We have an ex-
:29:39. > :29:44.Marine who in Afghanistan lost three limbs and with one arm is
:29:44. > :29:49.self-building his house. Extraordinary story. What about this
:29:49. > :29:54.floating house? We have a floating house next to the Thames. Sounds
:29:54. > :29:59.risky, admittedly. Is this happening? It pops up-and-down, it
:29:59. > :30:04.slides up-and-down in its own container. As the Thames floats, it
:30:04. > :30:08.does flood here. It comes in and out, water level rises. The house
:30:08. > :30:14.floats up-and-down. It is that simple. Like a boat, but it is
:30:14. > :30:19.house-shaped and in a dry dock. There was one a few years ago,
:30:19. > :30:25.massive house that was an eyesore. That was one of my favourites.
:30:25. > :30:32.is in the middle of the North Sea now. N'Diaye live runs from the
:30:32. > :30:36.4th-12 May at London's Excel Centre. Soft drinks fans beware. Researchers
:30:36. > :30:40.at Imperial College have found drinking one can a day can increase
:30:40. > :30:46.the risk of type 2 diabetes. We took a specially modified vending machine
:30:46. > :30:53.out on the streets to reveal how sugar coated our lives really are.
:30:53. > :30:56.Fizzy drinks were developed back until 18 00. Our thirst for them has
:30:56. > :31:01.been growing since then. Ish British Soft Drinks Association claims that
:31:01. > :31:09.the average person now consumes more than twice the amount of soft drinks
:31:09. > :31:17.that they did in 19 85. So that is up from 105 litres to 235 litres per
:31:17. > :31:23.person, per year. Just how much sugar do we think is contained in
:31:23. > :31:30.our favourite soft drinks? WhatWhat is your soft drink tipple? Cola. All
:31:30. > :31:36.the time. Every day. Really?I love it so much. Sometimes I drink the
:31:36. > :31:41.sugar-free one, normally. Cola. many cans of cola would you drink in
:31:41. > :31:47.a day? Just one.Do you know how much sugar is in it? I don't have a
:31:47. > :31:57.clue. Pour how much sugar you would imagine is in that. This is a wild
:31:57. > :32:13.
:32:13. > :32:19.about those we think are harmless or good for us. How much sugar do
:32:19. > :32:24.you think is in a smoothie? teaspoon. One serving like that?
:32:24. > :32:29.I'm going to go for another. Another. Surprise you? I think I'll
:32:29. > :32:34.do another one. In this?You are a bit surprised? Yes, because it's
:32:34. > :32:40.fruit, I just thought fruit and that was it. How many flavoured
:32:40. > :32:43.waters would you drink? Maybe four a week. I think we should have a
:32:43. > :32:51.look at your flavoured water consumption over the course of a
:32:51. > :32:55.year. Press this button on the vending machine. Look, partly
:32:55. > :33:00.mesmerized, partly horrified. Gentlemen, I present you with
:33:00. > :33:06.flavoured water. I thought I had a sweet tooth but not this sweet!
:33:06. > :33:10.So what effect does all this sugar have on our body? I've met with
:33:10. > :33:14.Anne Ashworth from the British dietetic association to help me
:33:14. > :33:17.understand what is in soft drinks and how much is too much. There's
:33:18. > :33:22.lots of different drinks here that people will recognise. Do they have
:33:22. > :33:25.the same sugar in them? Yes they have got sugar in them but
:33:25. > :33:29.different types. Tell me about this group first? This group is the
:33:29. > :33:34.energy drinks and they've got a lot of glucose in. This is great for
:33:34. > :33:38.athletes who need the glucose when doing endurance sport but not so
:33:38. > :33:43.good if people are sitting down and not burning calories, they are not
:33:43. > :33:48.likely to gain weight. Then we have grouped the fruit-based drinks.
:33:48. > :33:53.They contain infrastructure toes, a naturally occuring sugar. They
:33:53. > :33:58.still contain the same amount of glucose as the other drinks. This
:33:58. > :34:03.last crowd? Added suck rose which is absorbed very quickly into the
:34:03. > :34:08.blood stream, causing us to produce a lot of insulin so the blood sugar
:34:08. > :34:13.goes down -- Sucrose. We drink them and feel hungry after these.
:34:13. > :34:17.people don't want to drink water, which is the next best thing?
:34:17. > :34:22.fruit juice or a smoothie because here we are getting extra vitamins,
:34:22. > :34:25.in the smoothie we are getting fruit and fibre which none of the
:34:26. > :34:30.the other drinks contain. At the end of the day, all these sugars
:34:31. > :34:36.contain the same amount of energy or calories per gram. Stpwstpw
:34:36. > :34:39.we drink too much of any of them, we are going to gain weight.
:34:39. > :34:44.Dr Nita Forouhi from the medical research council is one of the co-
:34:44. > :34:47.authors of the report. Welcome to The One Show. Thank you, great to
:34:47. > :34:51.be here. What is it about this survey that everyone's up in arms
:34:52. > :34:55.about? What's grabbed the attention? Two things - firstly
:34:55. > :35:00.it's the first large scale study across Europe, including the UK and
:35:00. > :35:04.it's got eight countries of Europe and it's a large study called the
:35:04. > :35:07.Interact project. The second thing is, so in the past we only had
:35:07. > :35:10.studies largely from America so this gives credibility that the
:35:10. > :35:16.findings are real for our population. Secondly, type 2
:35:16. > :35:18.diabetes, as many of us know, is really on the rise. There are
:35:18. > :35:23.already three million people in this country alone with that and
:35:23. > :35:28.it's a serious medical condition. We are looking for solutions. What
:35:28. > :35:31.is exciting about this research is that could there be a simple
:35:31. > :35:36.solution that is part of the solution by dropping the amount of
:35:36. > :35:40.sugar laden drinks we drink. contacted the British Soft Drinks
:35:40. > :35:46.Association who said this study was flawed because it wasn't designed
:35:46. > :35:52.to measure whether diabetes was caused by the diet of these
:35:52. > :35:56.basically, so do the drinks cause type 2 diabetes. The study is
:35:57. > :36:01.absolutely not flawed. It's credible because of the size, there
:36:01. > :36:04.are 28,000 people in the study. Secondly, it looks at people who
:36:04. > :36:07.were without diabetes from the start and who developed diabetes
:36:08. > :36:11.forward in time and what's really important is that it's adding to
:36:11. > :36:17.the growing and mounting evidence from other countries as well, so
:36:17. > :36:21.one of the things we use in the research field to judge whether
:36:21. > :36:24.something is causily related, meaning one causes the other, is to
:36:25. > :36:30.look for consistency of the links that are found across different
:36:30. > :36:34.countries and even the size of the effect that is found. Remarkably,
:36:34. > :36:38.it's near identical in every study that's been done. Plus, the study
:36:38. > :36:41.really was very careful to account for loads of other factors that can
:36:41. > :36:44.distort the findings, things like whether people are physically
:36:44. > :36:49.active or not, whether they are drinking alcohol, whether they are
:36:49. > :36:53.educated enough, and a whole host of factors. Thank you. A lot of
:36:53. > :36:57.sugar in some soft drinks. There are lots on the market. A test for
:36:57. > :37:05.you two now, Lenny and Kevin. are going to get into trouble now.
:37:05. > :37:12.We are not allowed to drink all of them. We'd like you to put them in
:37:12. > :37:21.order as to which contains the most sugar. That's pretty high. That's a
:37:21. > :37:28.diet one, the least sugar. We shall see. Smaubury smoothie. Lots of
:37:28. > :37:35.sugar in that -- strawberry. That's a flavoured water one. That's going
:37:35. > :37:41.to be less. This is a power drink. That's going to go over here
:37:41. > :37:45.somewhere. That's got a lot of sugar in! Put them in order.I
:37:45. > :37:50.don't know, juice has a lot of sugar in, this is ofrpbg and mango
:37:50. > :37:58.juice drink, so maybe about there, I don't know -- orange and mango.
:37:58. > :38:05.What is that? Ribena. What flavour?, blackcurrant. That will be in the
:38:05. > :38:10.middle. Do you know the answer?Of course I do. You would be surprised.
:38:10. > :38:14.You have got one of them right. That's the one right at the end
:38:14. > :38:19.which is the sugar substitute option, OK. So that's got
:38:20. > :38:24.artificial sweeteners in it. Let's rearrange these, shall we. A few
:38:24. > :38:31.surprises in there. Oh, my days. That wants to go there and that
:38:31. > :38:37.wants to go there. Then we are going to get that there. The
:38:37. > :38:45.smoothie goes top. That is it.My children have been poisoned! This
:38:45. > :38:51.is sugar content, isn't it? So the highest sugar in each drink?
:38:51. > :38:55.that's surely good sugar?! Well dodgy. There are a lot of
:38:55. > :38:59.misconceptions out there. There are different types of sugar, there's
:38:59. > :39:03.infrastructure toes, sucrose and glucose. Those that have added
:39:03. > :39:07.sugars are the ones that are nutritionally otherwise empty, so
:39:07. > :39:12.they are what we call empty calories, so you are not getting
:39:12. > :39:16.any health benefits. And proportion is key, keep it low? Absolutely.
:39:16. > :39:21.With fruit smoothies, they have goodness because they've got
:39:21. > :39:28.natural fruit in them. Eat the fruit if you can. That's better. If
:39:28. > :39:34.you are going to drink smoothies, portion control because the five-a-
:39:34. > :39:39.day message, they allow smoothies in a portion, this is half a litre,
:39:39. > :39:43.150ml is a portion. Eat fruit and drink water. Get some council pop
:39:44. > :39:49.down you, it's lovely! Thank you very much. Today is officially the
:39:49. > :39:53.first day of summer! APPLAUSE
:39:53. > :39:57.What happened to spring?! Anyway, for many towns, preparations for
:39:57. > :40:02.May Day carnivals are under way. For the town of Soham in Cambridge,
:40:02. > :40:06.this year's carnival is a pretty special one, isn't it? It's their
:40:06. > :40:12.Diamond Jubilee and they've got big plans. So let me come over here.
:40:12. > :40:16.What is happening, Kate? We decided the committee and the chair decided
:40:16. > :40:20.it would be good fun to find as many of our 60 carnival Princesses
:40:20. > :40:26.as we could. How many have you found and how many do you need?
:40:26. > :40:30.Found a lot and we are missing 22 and have a gap between 1975 and
:40:30. > :40:39.1989. You brought some of your favourites tonight. So let's have a
:40:39. > :40:45.look at Miss 1953. Come on in! Jean, it was a special year, wasn't
:40:45. > :40:48.it? Obviously the Coronation and celebrations and everything, yes.
:40:48. > :40:56.Lots of street parties. It was great fun. Did you meet your
:40:56. > :41:04.husband in this year? Yes, I was 15 at the time. How old were you when
:41:04. > :41:09.you got married? But he'd been to a scout jamboree
:41:09. > :41:15.at Sandringham and he'd come back so we've been together ever since.
:41:15. > :41:23.Do you socialise with Miss 1968? Yes. We'll bring her in. Come in,
:41:23. > :41:27.Eunice. Welcome, welcome. What was your story then? In 1968, I was
:41:27. > :41:32.saying with a friend who wanted to enter the competition but not alone
:41:32. > :41:37.so she talked me into joining her for moral support and the rest is
:41:37. > :41:42.history. Oh, you were crowned and there you are! I was, I was.Don't
:41:42. > :41:49.you look beautiful. Fantastic. won the next year. Very good of you
:41:49. > :41:54.because you didn't enter that year. On we go then to Miss 1990. Come on
:41:54. > :41:59.in, Emma. It was all a bit of a surprise for
:41:59. > :42:05.you and your mum, the crowning? my nana went and put my picture in
:42:05. > :42:09.the paper without telling us. seemed shy about that. Were you
:42:09. > :42:14.embarrassed in the day? A bit embarrassed. There you are, look.
:42:14. > :42:18.How old were you? Seven.Isn't that lovely. Surely you were a carnival
:42:18. > :42:24.Queen or Princess, Alex? I would have given my right arm. I wasn't.
:42:24. > :42:29.I hope that neither of you two were, either, by the way. No, no.
:42:29. > :42:32.Never been carnival Queens. Were you ever asked to judge a carnival
:42:32. > :42:39.Queen competition? Only been asked to judge shed of the year, that's
:42:39. > :42:45.all. Not quite the same. You done anything? No, we did a strange
:42:45. > :42:49.beauty Queen judging in Blackpool when I was 17. Hello to the
:42:49. > :42:54.carnival Queen in Suffolk where I turned on the lights or the one
:42:54. > :42:58.light! It was a really lovely day. You might be able to help Kate out
:42:58. > :43:03.organising this. You haven't just brought the carnival Queens but
:43:03. > :43:08.some lovely old footage. Talk us through these? A fabulous gentleman
:43:09. > :43:13.in the town has a good collection of cine films, so we have some
:43:13. > :43:17.great footage of the floats. We are hoping to put the Princesses on
:43:17. > :43:21.floats again. If you are one of them, we've put a link on the
:43:21. > :43:26.website and they can get in contact with you? There will be a link to
:43:26. > :43:31.the website. Lovely to see you all. Thank you all ever so much.
:43:31. > :43:34.Carnival Queens! APPLAUSE
:43:34. > :43:38.Thanks, ladies. Nice to have you in the studio. For most women, their
:43:38. > :43:41.wedding is their chance to be a Queen for the day and wearing a
:43:41. > :43:44.wedding dress is a once in a lifetime affair. In Londonderry on
:43:44. > :43:48.Saturday, hundreds of women were given the chance to put them on
:43:48. > :43:55.again, only this time they were crossing a bridge, not the
:43:55. > :44:00.threshold. Almost a year ago, my uncle died
:44:00. > :44:05.and he received really good care from the hospice. We really wanted
:44:05. > :44:09.to do something to say thank you. I had remembered that a few friends
:44:09. > :44:14.of mine had got together and all tried on their old wedding dresses
:44:15. > :44:21.and they raised money and I thought, maybe we could do something along
:44:21. > :44:28.those lines, but bigger. I'm Sharon Doherty. I was married
:44:28. > :44:32.25 years ago this year, 1988. wold you feel 25 years on wearing
:44:32. > :44:38.your most special dress that you have ever bought in your life --
:44:38. > :44:44.how would you feel? Horrendous when it doesn't fit. Every woman wants
:44:44. > :44:48.to hold on to their wedding dress, the special one. It's the only
:44:48. > :44:52.dress where you don't feel guilty about spending the money. I have
:44:52. > :44:59.two daughters and they said, get yours and try it on. I got it out,
:44:59. > :45:06.got it on and they said "Mummy, what were you thinking?" they were
:45:06. > :45:09.horrified. I'm Gill, I got married eight years
:45:09. > :45:13.ago and I'm here today in my wedding dress.
:45:13. > :45:17.The reason I chose this dress was basically my mum, whenever I tried
:45:17. > :45:21.it on, it brought a tear to my mum's eye, so that was how it was
:45:21. > :45:23.decided. Great to be back in my wedding dress again today, great to
:45:23. > :45:31.get the attention of everybody looking at you, to feel just like
:45:31. > :45:41.you did on your wedding day. I've had kids and fit in my dress and
:45:41. > :45:54.
:45:54. > :45:59.day. This was not it. It meant a lot of me to put it on today as I was
:45:59. > :46:02.doing the walk in memory of my sister. All my children, when they
:46:02. > :46:12.saw me parading around the house in a big white dress they were laughing
:46:12. > :46:19.
:46:20. > :46:25.at me. They gave me the thumbs up on the side. They thought it was OK.
:46:25. > :46:32.have secondary cancer, I'm on chemothearpy and hoping that I will
:46:32. > :46:37.be able to go on for another wee while. I feel good. Since the
:46:37. > :46:42.hairdresser dyed my hair pink, I feel quite funky. We are here, all
:46:42. > :46:47.of the work has come to this. We are really excited. There is a great
:46:47. > :46:57.turn out. The buzz around town is amazing. We will walk across the
:46:57. > :47:27.
:47:27. > :47:34.girls in their dresses. Tarzan will be remembered for his sidekick-
:47:34. > :47:42.on how can you jump from wedding dress to Tarzan? There is a
:47:42. > :47:48.potential new star in the chimpanzees world he will be on
:47:48. > :47:58.screen on Friday. How does this show work. I don't know! It has to be the
:47:58. > :47:59.
:47:59. > :48:09.nut. Hold on. They are using rocks! No-one said anything about rocks. Mr
:48:09. > :48:16.
:48:16. > :48:21.Rock. Come to Papa. Yes, OK. That's one. A h. We are joined by two of
:48:21. > :48:26.the British directors behind chimpanzees, Alistair Fothergill and
:48:26. > :48:32.Mark Linfield. It is an extraordinary watch. Do put it as a
:48:32. > :48:38.documentary or a drama? Is it a movie. It is the lot? It's. It's not
:48:38. > :48:42.a drama. It's true to nature it happened out there in the wild. It's
:48:42. > :48:47.not a documentary. It's a movie. We wanted to make a wildlife movie for
:48:47. > :48:52.the big screen. That means fantastic story and great characters. If you
:48:52. > :48:58.want animal stars of the big screen you can't get better than
:48:58. > :49:05.chimpanzees. How difficult was it to film and how much patience did it
:49:06. > :49:09.require? Patience, 700 days over three years. That is patience. Why,
:49:09. > :49:15.it was actually about the hardest thing we have ever done, to be
:49:15. > :49:19.honest. Why do you say that?It's dark in the rainforest. There is a
:49:19. > :49:25.canopy over head. Chimpanzees are black and live in the shadows. If's
:49:25. > :49:28.wet. It's the rainforest, rainforest have wet seasons. The chimpanzees
:49:28. > :49:34.did most of the interesting things in the wettest time of the year.
:49:34. > :49:39.They travel great distances. Maybe 15 kilometers a day. We had to keep
:49:39. > :49:43.up with them with rucksacks on our back. Half of the time you lose
:49:43. > :49:47.them. It being Disney you have to sign it off with so many people.
:49:47. > :49:50.This is the story, this is what we will film. You went in there and
:49:50. > :49:55.everything changed. The whole thing evolved? We wanted to follow the
:49:55. > :50:00.first two or three years in the life of a baby chimpanzee because they
:50:00. > :50:04.are dead cute when they are young. 50% of newborn chimpanzees die in
:50:04. > :50:08.the first five years. It would be a great story there. A lot of the
:50:08. > :50:12.things we expected to happen did happen. Some complete surprises
:50:12. > :50:17.happened. We ended up with a story Bert than we could have written
:50:17. > :50:23.ourselves. We don't want to spoil it. We will not spoil. It following
:50:23. > :50:29.Oscar's story is lovely. The end is superb. We won't spoil it. Will it
:50:29. > :50:33.be in the movies or television? Movies. It is a great cause you are
:50:33. > :50:38.helping a lot of money goes from ticketing? Yeah. Very important
:50:38. > :50:43.thing is that chimpanzees are doing badly in the wild. In the last 20
:50:43. > :50:47.years the populations have gone down by 90%. We are working closely with
:50:47. > :50:52.the Whiled Chip Foundation. Fantastic charity working to
:50:52. > :50:55.preserve chimpanzees. There are details on the website. Both used to
:50:56. > :51:03.working with David Attenborough, Tim Allen's voice sounds superb over
:51:03. > :51:07.this film. How was he to work with? Fantastic. Because this film is,
:51:07. > :51:12.it's almost like a human reality show with lots of comedy, you can't
:51:12. > :51:18.help it with chimpanzees, we wanted a comic voice. Tim was great. He had
:51:18. > :51:22.fantastic timing. The real surprise was he would keep going off piste
:51:22. > :51:32.and ad-libbing some of the favourite lines in the movie we didn't write
:51:32. > :51:42.them, he came out with them. He had us in stitches. Thank you very much.
:51:42. > :51:49.
:51:49. > :51:54.Well worth a peak. It's in cinemas from Friday. Earlier we saw Ainsley
:51:54. > :52:01.preparing a surprise camp fire feast for devoted scout leaders Chris and
:52:01. > :52:06.Barry. Can former cub Ainsley remember how to light a fire. Thank
:52:06. > :52:10.you for all the amazing work we have done, we are putting on a camp fire
:52:10. > :52:15.feast. The response is amazing. The head teacher at the school has lent
:52:15. > :52:21.us the kitchen and lent all the facilities here. I have to say, the
:52:21. > :52:29.community of Wickham have come together for Chris and Barry. Top.
:52:29. > :52:36.We have got lots to do. The scants need to make potato salad with
:52:36. > :52:42.gherkins. Mix it together. Some delicious dishes. For the
:52:42. > :52:49.vegetarians some spicy bean burgers. All that for 100 people. I'm only
:52:49. > :52:55.allowed to supervise. The time is just after 3. 20pm. This is a little
:52:55. > :52:59.bit stressful. Everyone is taking it casual. Some people are making
:52:59. > :53:03.burgers, they would think they were playing with play doe or something.
:53:03. > :53:09.My worries are unfounded. They pull out all the stops in the final
:53:09. > :53:14.half-hour. The feast is starting to come together. The Scouts expertly
:53:14. > :53:19.light the camp fire and the barbecues will soon be ready for the
:53:19. > :53:22.burgers. All we need now is our guests of honour. Are they here?
:53:23. > :53:27.Barry and Chris have been told to turn up for an interview with the
:53:27. > :53:34.local news about their fundraising success. They have no idea about the
:53:34. > :53:40.surprise party. Who have we got here then? Hello.How are you? Hello
:53:40. > :53:44.Chris, how are you darling. How are you? I'm really good. Have you had a
:53:44. > :53:49.good day? If they are puzzled now, wait until they see what is in
:53:49. > :53:53.store. I got together this morning and sent out a message to a few
:53:53. > :54:03.people saying, I want to do a celebration for you. All I have to
:54:03. > :54:19.
:54:19. > :54:23.going on. We have hundreds of burgers and sausages. Look at the
:54:23. > :54:28.salads. How does it make you feel, thinking that people respond like
:54:28. > :54:35.that? Very proud. Very, very proud. I'm proud of everyone. With the
:54:35. > :54:39.burgers on the Barbie Kew our forest feast gets underway. You have the
:54:39. > :54:45.onions looking good there. What are you going to have? A burger on top
:54:45. > :54:49.of that. A local burger or a veggie burger? Chris and Barry are great. I
:54:49. > :54:53.have known them 10 years in Scouts. Chris has been there the whole time,
:54:53. > :54:57.always organising stuff. She has been part of every single level of
:54:57. > :55:04.Scouting I have been in. She put everything into everything when they
:55:04. > :55:10.do it. They do so much for everyone. For the community. They think of
:55:10. > :55:14.other people before actually themselves. Yeah.It's really kind.
:55:14. > :55:21.With everyone served it's time to catch up with our two community
:55:21. > :55:27.heroes. What do you think of the food? Fantastic.I've had a great
:55:27. > :55:32.deal. The community of Wickham have really pulled it off. If you are a
:55:32. > :55:36.fan of manmade homes like Kevin will you love this. Feast your eyes on
:55:36. > :55:45.how spacious. Lenny is a big lad. You have loads of room. Stretch your
:55:45. > :55:52.legs out. A whole heap of room.When we go outside. Look we are in a tiny
:55:52. > :56:00.house. It's unbelievable. It has wheels, you can move the thing. It
:56:00. > :56:06.has an upstairs. Hello. What year were you Carnival Queen. 2012.Back
:56:06. > :56:10.inside. Now then, let's look at the facilities. We have a whole kitchen.
:56:10. > :56:16.You can make your dinner, a sink, somewhere to put your wine. We have
:56:16. > :56:21.the living room area, complete with fire and telly for you to watch the
:56:21. > :56:26.One Show. In the bathroom, look. You can be on the toilet, how lady-like,
:56:26. > :56:31.have a shower at the same time. Perfect. I don't think you are
:56:31. > :56:34.supposed to have a shower at the same time. There is room for three
:56:34. > :56:39.Carnival Queens. Above the front door there is another bed. How does
:56:39. > :56:44.this compare to yours? My shed is darker. It is a lot dirtier. It has
:56:44. > :56:49.an earth floor. Instead of a fryer, a wood burner made out of an old
:56:49. > :56:54.safe. This is a kind of cleaner, slicker, more beautiful. It's
:56:54. > :56:59.lovely. When did you finish this? Last night? Last night, quite late.
:56:59. > :57:03.How popular are these? Very popular in the States. People have been
:57:03. > :57:09.living in them for 10 years or so. It is starting to catch on over
:57:09. > :57:14.here. Starting to work. Are we talking for one of these? Start,
:57:14. > :57:20.depending on what you want, �10,000, it could be an office or a play
:57:20. > :57:25.room. It could go up to anything you want, �18,000. I love it. It's
:57:25. > :57:34.really cute. You can move it, have accommodation on the road. There is
:57:34. > :57:37.more room here than in a Premier Nn room. How dare you!Come outside.
:57:37. > :57:43.There are eco-friendly things you can have. The bird table caught my
:57:43. > :57:49.attention. You know about the man who knead chair? I do.Lenny, would
:57:49. > :57:56.you put this outside? This is beautiful. A little pool.More space
:57:56. > :58:03.here than in there. That is true. This is going into my exhibition
:58:03. > :58:09.within the exhibition at Grand Designs Live, it's made out of
:58:09. > :58:13.sprungs and leather. It's amazingly comfortable as you would expect from
:58:13. > :58:19.something made from springs. It's strangely comfortable. It's made by
:58:19. > :58:27.one couple from 26 years worth of drinking. It's the em embodiment of
:58:27. > :58:33.memory. It's the embodiment of alcohol. Alex is in this hammock.
:58:33. > :58:43.This is lovely. It's made from seatbelts. These are the wonderful
:58:43. > :58:43.
:58:43. > :58:48.sheds we asked for. Duncan Thomas. The door is falling off. This is
:58:48. > :58:57.hilarious. Lots and lots of sheds. Thank you so much to Kevin and
:58:57. > :59:01.Lenny. Grand Designs Live is on at Excel Centre. You can see Lenny in
