Hi, this is The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:22.:00:26.

Tonight's guests both started out as aspiring musicians, one, a

:00:26.:00:33.

baritone opera singer, the other a budding pop star who still likes to

:00:33.:00:38.

croon. # Take my hand

:00:38.:00:46.

# Let me take you to love land... # Please welcome Lenny Henry!

:00:46.:00:53.

And Kevin McCloud! What a pair you are! Are you the

:00:53.:01:01.

one top? Really sorry. You did a bit of backing vocals for Kate Bush

:01:01.:01:07.

didn't you? I did, yes, I'm in the Red Shoes album, I'm sure Kate

:01:07.:01:13.

regrets it now. I got some scrambled eggs out of it. It was a

:01:13.:01:17.

lovely afternoon. She was fantastic. We haven't got any footage of your

:01:17.:01:23.

singing, Kevin. What a shame! I burnt it all. But you wanted to be

:01:23.:01:29.

an opera star at one point? I might have wanted to be at one point.

:01:29.:01:34.

heard that you had to be convinced to come back to college. How old

:01:34.:01:44.
:01:44.:01:45.

were you then? 19.You had a voice? I was a crooner, yes. This is you

:01:45.:01:53.

at Cambridge, a super silly smug git - was that the name of your

:01:53.:02:03.
:02:03.:02:04.

band?! Everybody had a brown tie. It was full of scientists. Someone

:02:04.:02:10.

asked me do I remember anyone from that photograph. I remembered

:02:10.:02:14.

nearly everybody. There's at least one cross-dressing judge there,

:02:14.:02:18.

international lawyers and Professors and me and Tom Stewart-

:02:18.:02:21.

Smith, the wonderful garden designer. Of course. Would you like

:02:21.:02:26.

to point out the cross-dressing High Court judge? No. He's at home

:02:26.:02:33.

now going "No!". Just look for the hair, it's already there. It's like

:02:33.:02:38.

the world's maddest boy band. really good hair there. Of course,

:02:38.:02:47.

Kevin, we know you... I've gone all defensive now, look. You are

:02:47.:02:53.

judging shed of the year? This is the most exciting thing for me this

:02:53.:02:57.

year. Why do you love it so much?I took a year to build my own shed,

:02:57.:03:05.

we made a series about it which was epic and great fun. A year to make

:03:05.:03:10.

a shed? A slow shed. Slow food, slow living, slow shed, so it was a

:03:10.:03:15.

slow build project, very slow. Very small shed. OK.And this year we

:03:15.:03:20.

are going to do more. We are taking the shed on holiday this year.

:03:20.:03:24.

We'll find out more about that. We have a shed theme. Very excited.We

:03:24.:03:30.

are looking for shetdz in desperate need to have a Grand Design make-

:03:30.:03:34.

over. -- sheds. Perhaps they are so full you can't shut the door. What

:03:34.:03:40.

is yours like? It's packed, organised chaos, I know where

:03:40.:03:44.

everything is. We'll be talking chimpanzees with the Steven

:03:44.:03:47.

Spielberg of nature. We'll be asking, why did the brides cross

:03:47.:03:55.

the bridge, 5070 of them, -- 500 of them, poised and ready to cross.

:03:55.:04:00.

And we are looking for some carnival Queens. Maybe some were in

:04:00.:04:04.

your school photo there! Anyway, the producers of Grand Designs must

:04:04.:04:10.

secretly keep a special look out for projects that are likely to go

:04:10.:04:15.

wrong. As Angela Rippon discovers, when things don't go as planned,

:04:15.:04:20.

it's no laughing matter. These Housing Association homes in

:04:20.:04:24.

Coventry look really nice and they are supposed to be eco-friendly and

:04:24.:04:27.

affordable. Trouble is that some of the residents I've talked to tell

:04:27.:04:33.

me they've turned out to be anything but. Tell me what you were

:04:33.:04:37.

told about the heating system in the house? They said it would only

:04:37.:04:41.

cost us no more than �30-�35 a month to run the whole system but

:04:41.:04:46.

it hasn't worked out that way. My first ever bill, I'd only been in

:04:46.:04:52.

the house four months and it was for �2,700. It's an absolute

:04:52.:04:56.

nightmare, it really is. I'm never going to be out of debt with it.

:04:57.:05:00.

What would you like to happen ideally? I would like them to rip

:05:00.:05:06.

it out and smash it up. So why are Debra's bills and those of her

:05:06.:05:11.

fellow residents so high? Debra's home, like most on the estate, is

:05:11.:05:15.

fitted with this heating system which is made by the Swedish

:05:15.:05:20.

company, NIBI. Called an exhaust air source heat bump, it works by

:05:20.:05:24.

taking the haets from the waste air leaving your house and then pumping

:05:24.:05:28.

it back into your home to help provide heating and hot water --

:05:28.:05:33.

heat from the waste air. Sounds like a practical solution and when

:05:33.:05:37.

it works properly, it should be energy efficient. Sadly, many on

:05:37.:05:42.

this estate have said that's not the case, that in fact they've been

:05:42.:05:46.

saddled with horrendous electricity bills that have left them in

:05:46.:05:51.

serious debt. I'm now in �1700 worth of debt. At

:05:51.:05:57.

this moment in time, I'm paying �351 a month for my direct debit

:05:57.:06:02.

and during the cold period when we had the snow, my bill was �5 57 for

:06:02.:06:06.

one month's electricity. month?! Yes.

:06:06.:06:12.

Over the past three years, it's increased. Basically, I think it's

:06:12.:06:16.

just under �4,000 now that I owe. One explanation for the homes that

:06:16.:06:20.

have been hit with costly bills is that the system's heat puch simply

:06:20.:06:24.

is not big enough to heat the property, causing the more

:06:24.:06:31.

expensive backup emergs to kick in -- the heat pump -- emergs to kick

:06:31.:06:35.

This is not isolated. We have heard of hundreds of cases where this

:06:35.:06:40.

system's been installed in houses all over the country. An estimated

:06:40.:06:44.

15,000 NIBI systems have been fitted nationwide but dozens of the

:06:44.:06:47.

people whose homes have one have told us that it's done the opposite

:06:47.:06:52.

of what was expected, putting bills up instead of down. We've asked the

:06:52.:06:56.

Housing Association who agreed to install them here to meet some of

:06:56.:07:00.

the disgruntled residents. I've been in court three or four

:07:00.:07:03.

different Wednesday afternoons I've had to take off work to go to court

:07:03.:07:07.

to argue to not get pre-payment metres fitted in my house because

:07:07.:07:12.

if they do, I won't be able to afford to heat my house for my

:07:12.:07:16.

children. Now, how can you stand there and say this is an OK

:07:16.:07:20.

situation? Well, it's not an OK situation, which is exactly the

:07:20.:07:24.

reason... Why hasn't notice been taken of us before? Three years

:07:24.:07:29.

we've been living like this? Well, we've now established a team of

:07:29.:07:33.

people who'll be working with you. We'll meet with everybody on this

:07:33.:07:36.

estate that has a concern of this nature. I know you have been well

:07:36.:07:41.

aware of this problem. What are you going to do for them? One thing we

:07:41.:07:44.

have had to do is talk to technical people who've been looking at the

:07:44.:07:47.

properties and time and again they are saying they are fit for purpose

:07:47.:07:53.

and so on. Clearly, particularly in the larger homes we are not. I can

:07:53.:07:56.

say we'll replace the systems because the evidence from the bills

:07:56.:07:59.

that people are talking about is that they are not performing as

:07:59.:08:03.

they should do. With the Housing Association taking the flak, what

:08:03.:08:07.

do manufacturers NIBE have to say? They insist the systems are

:08:07.:08:12.

suitable and any fail yours are as a result of poor specification or

:08:12.:08:18.

installation or even user error. We've got thousands of these units

:08:18.:08:21.

installed throughout the country from the Highlands of Scotland all

:08:21.:08:26.

the way down to the south coast. The majority of them are running

:08:26.:08:29.

fairly efficiently, very effectively. The Housing

:08:29.:08:34.

Association say they invested on the basis that the system was cost

:08:34.:08:37.

effective but feel it's not delivering what they were expecting.

:08:37.:08:41.

Let me tell you that on this site, the Housing Association feel

:08:41.:08:48.

perhaps that you have missold the boilers. That's their view.They

:08:48.:08:52.

are not up to the job that they need of them? That's contrary to

:08:52.:08:55.

the meetings I've had with the Housing Association. There's been

:08:55.:09:03.

no mention of that at all, you know. That comes as a big surprise.

:09:03.:09:06.

NIBE insist there's nothing wrong with their system and blame the way

:09:06.:09:10.

that it's been installed. But the residents aren't bothered who's to

:09:10.:09:15.

blame, they are just desperate for the situation to be resolved.

:09:15.:09:21.

I feel terribly sorry for Debra. Astronomical bills. We have an June

:09:21.:09:26.

date -- update. A specialist consultant is going to calculate

:09:26.:09:29.

the average heating bill each house should have, they'll review this

:09:30.:09:33.

against the average running cost and have established a hardship

:09:33.:09:36.

fund to assist those with bills that haven't matched up. They say

:09:36.:09:41.

they've made a commitment to replace the NIBE boilers, in the

:09:41.:09:44.

larger four and five bedroomed houses and they are holding

:09:44.:09:47.

surgeries with the tenants who are concerned.

:09:47.:09:51.

Probably quite important to point out that the manufacturers NIBE say

:09:51.:09:53.

thousands of people who have this system installed haven't

:09:53.:09:57.

experienced the same problems that we featured there in the film.

:09:57.:10:02.

Kevin, you are an eco ambassador, what system do you have in your

:10:02.:10:08.

house? Well, I've got a combined hybrid thermal unit with two heat

:10:08.:10:15.

pumps! I'm not joking. And a biomass backup and a ventilation

:10:15.:10:18.

heat recovery system, not the one we are talking about here. The

:10:18.:10:22.

point really is that in the UK, we generally, historically, we have

:10:22.:10:24.

liked our houses to be straightforward and simple and we

:10:24.:10:27.

generally, in order to control the heating turn up the thermostat and

:10:27.:10:33.

control the temperature by opening the window. That's what we do.

:10:33.:10:39.

Whereas these systems are designed for super airtight buildings in

:10:39.:10:43.

places like Scandinavia and Austria where for decades people have been

:10:43.:10:46.

used to treating their homes like machines and people have been

:10:46.:10:51.

building them like machines, whereas we tend to build to poor

:10:51.:10:55.

standards of construction in the UK. Much as it might be simple to point

:10:55.:10:59.

the finger at the technology, I know how ko-smplex the building is

:10:59.:11:05.

and it's the interface between the different technologies which isn't

:11:05.:11:08.

new yet and it's the consumer interface and the standard of

:11:08.:11:11.

building which we have got to improve in the UK. Lenny, very

:11:11.:11:14.

quiet at the moment but you are here. Keeping out of the way. What

:11:14.:11:21.

I do is, it says twice or continuance or once and I just get

:11:21.:11:27.

it so that it's freezing in the morning and hot in the night. Hit

:11:27.:11:35.

it with a haerm. We'll talk to you about acting in a while -- with a

:11:35.:11:39.

hammer. In a story that has many similarities, Angelica has the tale

:11:39.:11:44.

of a man refused a job driving a Bristol bus because of the colour

:11:44.:11:50.

of his skin. These days, Bristol is a vibrant

:11:50.:11:53.

multicultural city. But 50 years ago, it was embroiled in a race row

:11:53.:11:56.

that shook the establishment to its core.

:11:56.:12:00.

This is the story of the Bristol bus boycott.

:12:00.:12:05.

In 1963, a young black youth worker called Paul Stevenson, heard

:12:05.:12:09.

rumours that despite having vacancies, the Bristol omnibus

:12:09.:12:13.

company refused to hire black bus workers. Paul had a job but knew

:12:13.:12:16.

someone who didn't. Because he had an English accent, Paul rang the

:12:16.:12:21.

bus company to set up the interview. The candidate was an 18-year-old

:12:21.:12:26.

guy Bailey who'd arrived from Jamaica. He was well qualified and

:12:26.:12:29.

keen. So what happened when you went to

:12:29.:12:34.

the interview, Guy? Obviously, she said to the manager something to

:12:34.:12:42.

the effect that the appointment is here and he's black. He simply said

:12:42.:12:46.

just tell him all vacancies are full. To be quite honest with you,

:12:46.:12:52.

I felt unwanted. After the incident, you went and saw the manager

:12:52.:13:02.

directly, Paul, didn't you? They said they had an unracist policy. I

:13:02.:13:06.

said we'd take steps to end it and he told me to have my demonstration

:13:06.:13:10.

and said it wouldn't make any difference. Why did you do that?No

:13:10.:13:13.

rights. None whatsoever. Paul and others from the local community

:13:13.:13:18.

sest up the west Indian development council and on the 29th April, 1963,

:13:18.:13:24.

they arranged a press conference where Paul called on Bristolians to

:13:24.:13:29.

boycott the buses. The 3,000-strong community did that, along with many

:13:29.:13:33.

Bristol university student who is arranged a protest march. The

:13:33.:13:38.

company stood firm. We intend to go on engaging white

:13:38.:13:42.

labour, rather than coloured labour. There was a genuine fear that jobs

:13:42.:13:47.

would be at stake if black people came on the buses. We don't want

:13:47.:13:51.

'em on there, that's the main reason. You look at it this way,

:13:51.:13:55.

there ain't gonna be enough work for the whites, let 'loan the

:13:55.:14:00.

blacks. As much influential support as possible was gathered, including

:14:00.:14:05.

Tony Benn. The High Commissioner for Trinidad and Tobago brought

:14:05.:14:10.

national attention to this local story and lost his job as a result.

:14:10.:14:13.

What about the West Indies cricketers, do you think they are

:14:13.:14:16.

having any trouble? They are not, but surely they can't be happy

:14:16.:14:20.

playing knowing their countrymen are discriminated against 50 yards

:14:20.:14:26.

from the playing field. He was a rock at the time they were trying

:14:26.:14:32.

to isolate me. He supported us and he lost his job. Over the summer of

:14:32.:14:36.

1963, the campaign took to the streets, but the Bristol company

:14:36.:14:39.

and the local branch of the Transport and General Workers'

:14:39.:14:44.

Union refused to overturn the ban. They didn't understand what the

:14:44.:14:48.

fuss was about, they were comfortable with the status quo so

:14:48.:14:53.

they tried to characterise Paul Stevenson as outrageous and the

:14:53.:14:58.

west Indian development councillors were unreasonable to work with.

:14:58.:15:02.

This he brought a dynamism which to Bristol City Council and the

:15:02.:15:06.

regional union branch by come plait surprise. They'd never seen nip

:15:06.:15:10.

like him -- complete. The sheer force of public national publicity

:15:10.:15:16.

and even international really forced the hand of the bus company.

:15:16.:15:26.
:15:26.:15:37.

On the 28th August, 1963, the antedian will take his job on the

:15:37.:15:42.

bus. I think he will get on with the bus crews and all will be all all

:15:42.:15:46.

right. Weeks later Bristol had its first nonwhite bus conductor. The

:15:46.:15:52.

campaign would lay the foundations for the 19 65 Race Relations Act.

:15:52.:15:58.

The 19 63 Bristol bus boycott campaign lasted four months. It's

:15:58.:16:02.

impact still resonates today. It took the bravery of Paul Stephenson

:16:02.:16:08.

and his friends to stand up to the institutionalised racism and change

:16:08.:16:12.

Britain forever. You were saying there, extraordinary. Unbelievable

:16:12.:16:17.

footage that was in that film there? Extraordinary story. I'm sure people

:16:17.:16:22.

are looking back at that wondering what world we were in when that

:16:22.:16:27.

bridge and discrimination was allowed to go on. My parents were

:16:27.:16:31.

discriminated against when they came to bridge. -- Britain. Prejudice was

:16:31.:16:35.

shown to me every day at school at one point. Until I learnt to come

:16:35.:16:40.

back at bullies with humour, my life was misery for a very long time. I

:16:40.:16:44.

understand what these guys went through. I'm glad I was so young I

:16:44.:16:48.

wouldn't be able to be involved. I would have liked to have carried a

:16:48.:16:52.

plaque card, at least, as a four-year-old child. An

:16:52.:16:55.

extraordinary story. Putting your personal experience into this new

:16:55.:17:05.

play. The story lines ring true? guy in Fences is a binman. In '50s

:17:05.:17:10.

America the black guys lifted the barrels, the white guys drove the

:17:10.:17:16.

truck. Troy challenges his bosses and asks how they don't goat drive.

:17:16.:17:22.

It's a brave thing for him to do. He is kind of fearless. Rosa Parks only

:17:22.:17:27.

sat down at the front of a bus because she is tired and doesn't

:17:28.:17:32.

want to move. There isn't a class ceiling, interest is steel one. It's

:17:32.:17:38.

a difficult time time for this play to take place. The author of the

:17:38.:17:43.

play wrote a play set in a different decade about the African-American

:17:43.:17:47.

struggle trying to get a purchase in the American dream. He has been

:17:47.:17:54.

called the black Shakespeare. His plays are wonderful. He has very

:17:54.:17:58.

deeply flawed protagonists that seem intent on bringing down their

:17:58.:18:03.

family. Troy is like that. An amazing play. I'm honoured to be in

:18:03.:18:10.

it. You are used to hearing laughter on stage. This play invites a

:18:10.:18:16.

different reaction, it is emotional? Yes. Similar to Othello, people

:18:16.:18:20.

would be crying. With this play it's emotional that people want to hug

:18:20.:18:25.

you. They are crying at the end, "it's like my dad, my mum was like

:18:25.:18:29.

that." Incredibly moved. For an African-American play in Britain. We

:18:29.:18:39.
:18:39.:18:42.

went on a tour to Bath, Milton Keynes and Mold there were few black

:18:42.:18:47.

beam say the play. All white people, all weeping, relating to the play as

:18:47.:18:51.

a universal matter. Some greats played your role. You were

:18:51.:18:59.

introduced by James... Yes James Earl Jones introduced me to the

:18:59.:19:04.

play. He told me about it, he say said you won't do this until you are

:19:05.:19:09.

in your '50s. You need few years on the clock. You have been waiting?I

:19:09.:19:15.

thought, OK, let's look at it. I read it and thought it's perfect. A

:19:15.:19:23.

flawed man. Like my dad. Troy makes my dad look like he is sing singing

:19:23.:19:29.

along type of guy. There are references to the N word? It's 19

:19:29.:19:35.

57. There is huge prejudice in America and black people use the N

:19:35.:19:40.

word as a word of saying, if we have Owrenship of this word we can stop

:19:40.:19:45.

other people getting to us and hurting us. Nowaday it is's used in

:19:45.:19:50.

hip-hop records as ownership. It's part of the dialogue. Reginald D

:19:50.:19:56.

Hunter... He was on last week or the week before he uses the word lots?

:19:56.:20:01.

He is known for using this word in his show. It's crazy of those guys

:20:01.:20:05.

to employ him knowing the comedian he was. He is American. Used to

:20:05.:20:11.

using the word all the time. Not like us all here. Relates to the

:20:11.:20:15.

football footballers who got upset when he used the word. You feel they

:20:15.:20:19.

should have known what they were booking? Should have looked at him

:20:19.:20:25.

on YouTube and thought- he does that, does he? Let's get Lee Evans.

:20:25.:20:31.

Back to Fences, there is pressure on the shoulders, you were in the Top

:20:31.:20:39.

10 in Othello? It's scary thing. To have played Othello and do this play

:20:39.:20:46.

that James Earl Jones, Denzel Washington and Laurence Fishburne

:20:46.:20:53.

amazing actors. I could be excused for lying on the floor in a foetal

:20:53.:20:57.

position saying- too much pressure! What the director said to all of us

:20:57.:21:02.

was, never mind all of that, how are we going to tell this story? Lots of

:21:02.:21:06.

hard work went into it. Movement, singing and accent work until on the

:21:06.:21:10.

first night we were ready, we weren't frightened and got on with

:21:10.:21:20.
:21:20.:21:26.

it. You can see Lenny in Fences from 19th June at the Duchess Theatre in

:21:26.:21:34.

London. Scouts has never been more popular, so much so that 35,000

:21:34.:21:38.

children are waiting to join groups due to a shortage of adult

:21:38.:21:46.

volunteers. Thanks to a couple of Scout leaders in Hampshire that one

:21:46.:21:53.

group has -- was saved from disaster. In 2006 in Hampshire an

:21:53.:21:59.

arn attack on a scout hut left it damaged beyond repair. We were

:21:59.:22:05.

watching the telly. The phone rang. Your Scout building is on fire. We

:22:05.:22:09.

ran. I cried and cried. I cried a river. Not only the building went,

:22:09.:22:15.

everything went. It was like losing your home really. Just absolutely

:22:15.:22:23.

devastating. Over the 27 years that Chris and Barry have run the Scouts,

:22:23.:22:28.

500 kids have been involved. When the hut burnt down, they knew they

:22:28.:22:31.

needed to raise thousands towards building a new one. It's been six

:22:31.:22:36.

years of hard work for Chris and Barry. I'm glad they pulled it off.

:22:36.:22:40.

After all those duck races and fundraising events, it's time for us

:22:40.:22:43.

to recognise their achievements. It's Saturday, Chris and Barry are

:22:43.:22:49.

away on a Scouting training course. They won't be back until 4. 00pm

:22:49.:22:53.

when the One Show has a surprise in store for them. As a thank you, we

:22:53.:22:58.

are arranging a big camp fire cookup. They know nothing about it.

:22:58.:23:03.

Today, I'm not allowed to cook anything. It's all down to the

:23:03.:23:11.

Beavers, Cubs Scouts, they will do it all, maybe with help from me. We

:23:11.:23:16.

have a plan! In my day when we needed to raise money there was

:23:16.:23:22.

always Bob a Job Week. I'm trying to get local food producers and

:23:22.:23:29.

suppliers to give us food in exchange for hard craft. We want to

:23:29.:23:34.

feed 100 hungry mouths tonight. First stop the local bakers to clean

:23:34.:23:42.

their ovens. How is it going, guys? Perfect! Good.I'm going to give you

:23:42.:23:47.

all the long rolls and baps there. Thank you very very much. Have bread

:23:47.:23:54.

rolls. All over theville wage are doing odd-jobs. At the butchers it's

:23:54.:24:00.

weeding. I'm used to getting my hands dirty, not like this. One tray

:24:00.:24:06.

of burgers for you and sausages for you. At the supermarket it's helping

:24:06.:24:11.

to pack bags. Would you like us to pack your shopping? I would love you

:24:11.:24:15.

to. Thank you very much. The team stack fruit and vegetables in

:24:15.:24:19.

another shop. Chris and Barry would be proud. They are an inspiration,

:24:19.:24:24.

no other word for it. If I grow up to be half a man that Barry is I

:24:24.:24:31.

will consider myself lucky. For all that craft we are giving a load of

:24:31.:24:38.

veg g. -- veg eg. Time is ticking on. Our last chance is the farm shop

:24:38.:24:44.

where they are fans of Chris and Barry. They do so much for the

:24:44.:24:51.

community. We are pleased to have them in our village. You were a boy

:24:51.:25:01.
:25:01.:25:05.

cub or a Sc Owl -- Scout. I was.He wants us to clean this tracter.

:25:05.:25:11.

People say showbiz is glamorous. Is it a mucky job? Yeah.It is. It is a

:25:11.:25:16.

job worth doing. We get more sausages and burgers. All great

:25:16.:25:21.

additions to our camp fire cookup. It's 2. 00pm and the food is coming

:25:21.:25:25.

in thick and fast. Local primary head teacher has opened up the

:25:25.:25:29.

school kitchens for us. There is so much to do before we surprise Chris

:25:29.:25:33.

and Barry who arrive in two hours' time. I'm getting seriously

:25:33.:25:39.

stressed. Move in quickly, please, guys. Thank you. Barry and Chris

:25:39.:25:44.

still have no idea what is going on. With the whole village in on the

:25:44.:25:51.

act, let us hope we can keep it a secret. Part two is on its way later

:25:51.:25:57.

on. You never see me and Ainsley in the same room! I'm not saying

:25:57.:26:07.
:26:07.:26:09.

anything. You were a Scout?I was a cub. So he was. He got my plasticine

:26:09.:26:16.

badge. I got my pimping badge. you gate design badge? Bob a Job

:26:16.:26:23.

Week. Great.You couldn't do that now. You couldn't do Bob a Job there

:26:23.:26:27.

would be health and safety issues. You haven't got time. You are

:26:27.:26:32.

constantly filming? Too busy to be a cub now, yes. Grand Designs is more

:26:32.:26:37.

than a television programme now it's an exhibition? We are on at Excel

:26:37.:26:42.

this Saturday for 10 days. What is on offer? We have 100,000 people

:26:42.:26:46.

turn up. We have exhibitors and we have our home of the future,

:26:47.:26:52.

eco-home of the future. Electric cars. All kinds of homes on show.

:26:52.:27:00.

Some small and large. We are launching National Self- Neck week.

:27:00.:27:03.

I could talk for hours on that. You were saying this afternoon, you are

:27:03.:27:12.

looking for a new place? I'm looking for a house. I might build one. Matt

:27:12.:27:16.

went... You are building one from a kit? I thought I might get one of

:27:16.:27:24.

those that come in a flat-pack and you build it. With a giant Allen

:27:24.:27:30.

key. You could walk in with your plans. They walked in... A lot of

:27:30.:27:40.
:27:40.:27:42.

money to spend. Came up with this. Is this there? Have we a picture of

:27:42.:27:52.

it. There it is. It looks like the Edden Project. Like a melted

:27:52.:27:56.

training shoe. Do you like this, honestly? It's big and expensive.

:27:56.:28:01.

There they are, hand and hand walking up the drive. They

:28:01.:28:09.

disappear. Huge.There is a lot of these blobby buildings. Section 55

:28:09.:28:13.

say that is if you have a lot of money and you want to involve an

:28:13.:28:19.

expensive architect and build a super eco hope and -- home a can do

:28:19.:28:24.

so in open countryside. We are opposed to building anything in open

:28:24.:28:29.

countryside they are designing houses that look like the country

:28:29.:28:34.

side, blobby things that disappear. Some say that is a good thing. Some

:28:34.:28:38.

people say we should be more assertive with what we do. That

:28:38.:28:41.

house doesn't despair into the country side. It doesn't when viewed

:28:42.:28:47.

from space. It will look from a hill from three or four miles away.

:28:47.:28:53.

grass on their roof and set into the landscape? That is it. We are almost

:28:53.:28:59.

unique in Europe in adopting this style of semi visible Telly Tubby

:28:59.:29:04.

architecture. It's a way to go. delighted you are on here. I watch

:29:04.:29:08.

you on television more than anybody else. I'm over the moon of this new

:29:08.:29:14.

series coming out. Who is in it? What sort of houses have you?

:29:14.:29:18.

have amazing houses. A conversion of a cinema in Doncaster. We thought

:29:18.:29:21.

this might be exciting? Beautiful with Polish concrete walls and

:29:21.:29:25.

floors. The couple wanted to live in a cottage. Their architect persuaded

:29:26.:29:35.

them not to do this. Live in a cinema instead? We have an ex-

:29:35.:29:39.

Marine who in Afghanistan lost three limbs and with one arm is

:29:39.:29:44.

self-building his house. Extraordinary story. What about this

:29:44.:29:49.

floating house? We have a floating house next to the Thames. Sounds

:29:49.:29:54.

risky, admittedly. Is this happening? It pops up-and-down, it

:29:54.:29:59.

slides up-and-down in its own container. As the Thames floats, it

:29:59.:30:04.

does flood here. It comes in and out, water level rises. The house

:30:04.:30:08.

floats up-and-down. It is that simple. Like a boat, but it is

:30:08.:30:14.

house-shaped and in a dry dock. There was one a few years ago,

:30:14.:30:19.

massive house that was an eyesore. That was one of my favourites.

:30:19.:30:25.

is in the middle of the North Sea now. N'Diaye live runs from the

:30:25.:30:32.

4th-12 May at London's Excel Centre. Soft drinks fans beware. Researchers

:30:32.:30:36.

at Imperial College have found drinking one can a day can increase

:30:36.:30:40.

the risk of type 2 diabetes. We took a specially modified vending machine

:30:40.:30:46.

out on the streets to reveal how sugar coated our lives really are.

:30:46.:30:53.

Fizzy drinks were developed back until 18 00. Our thirst for them has

:30:53.:30:56.

been growing since then. Ish British Soft Drinks Association claims that

:30:56.:31:01.

the average person now consumes more than twice the amount of soft drinks

:31:01.:31:09.

that they did in 19 85. So that is up from 105 litres to 235 litres per

:31:09.:31:17.

person, per year. Just how much sugar do we think is contained in

:31:17.:31:23.

our favourite soft drinks? WhatWhat is your soft drink tipple? Cola. All

:31:23.:31:30.

the time. Every day. Really?I love it so much. Sometimes I drink the

:31:30.:31:36.

sugar-free one, normally. Cola. many cans of cola would you drink in

:31:36.:31:41.

a day? Just one.Do you know how much sugar is in it? I don't have a

:31:41.:31:47.

clue. Pour how much sugar you would imagine is in that. This is a wild

:31:47.:31:57.
:31:57.:32:13.

about those we think are harmless or good for us. How much sugar do

:32:13.:32:19.

you think is in a smoothie? teaspoon. One serving like that?

:32:19.:32:24.

I'm going to go for another. Another. Surprise you? I think I'll

:32:24.:32:29.

do another one. In this?You are a bit surprised? Yes, because it's

:32:29.:32:34.

fruit, I just thought fruit and that was it. How many flavoured

:32:34.:32:40.

waters would you drink? Maybe four a week. I think we should have a

:32:40.:32:43.

look at your flavoured water consumption over the course of a

:32:43.:32:51.

year. Press this button on the vending machine. Look, partly

:32:51.:32:55.

mesmerized, partly horrified. Gentlemen, I present you with

:32:55.:33:00.

flavoured water. I thought I had a sweet tooth but not this sweet!

:33:00.:33:06.

So what effect does all this sugar have on our body? I've met with

:33:06.:33:10.

Anne Ashworth from the British dietetic association to help me

:33:10.:33:14.

understand what is in soft drinks and how much is too much. There's

:33:14.:33:17.

lots of different drinks here that people will recognise. Do they have

:33:18.:33:22.

the same sugar in them? Yes they have got sugar in them but

:33:22.:33:25.

different types. Tell me about this group first? This group is the

:33:25.:33:29.

energy drinks and they've got a lot of glucose in. This is great for

:33:29.:33:34.

athletes who need the glucose when doing endurance sport but not so

:33:34.:33:38.

good if people are sitting down and not burning calories, they are not

:33:38.:33:43.

likely to gain weight. Then we have grouped the fruit-based drinks.

:33:43.:33:48.

They contain infrastructure toes, a naturally occuring sugar. They

:33:48.:33:53.

still contain the same amount of glucose as the other drinks. This

:33:53.:33:58.

last crowd? Added suck rose which is absorbed very quickly into the

:33:58.:34:03.

blood stream, causing us to produce a lot of insulin so the blood sugar

:34:03.:34:08.

goes down -- Sucrose. We drink them and feel hungry after these.

:34:08.:34:13.

people don't want to drink water, which is the next best thing?

:34:13.:34:17.

fruit juice or a smoothie because here we are getting extra vitamins,

:34:17.:34:22.

in the smoothie we are getting fruit and fibre which none of the

:34:22.:34:25.

the other drinks contain. At the end of the day, all these sugars

:34:26.:34:30.

contain the same amount of energy or calories per gram. Stpwstpw

:34:31.:34:36.

we drink too much of any of them, we are going to gain weight.

:34:36.:34:39.

Dr Nita Forouhi from the medical research council is one of the co-

:34:39.:34:44.

authors of the report. Welcome to The One Show. Thank you, great to

:34:44.:34:47.

be here. What is it about this survey that everyone's up in arms

:34:47.:34:51.

about? What's grabbed the attention? Two things - firstly

:34:52.:34:55.

it's the first large scale study across Europe, including the UK and

:34:55.:35:00.

it's got eight countries of Europe and it's a large study called the

:35:00.:35:04.

Interact project. The second thing is, so in the past we only had

:35:04.:35:07.

studies largely from America so this gives credibility that the

:35:07.:35:10.

findings are real for our population. Secondly, type 2

:35:10.:35:16.

diabetes, as many of us know, is really on the rise. There are

:35:16.:35:18.

already three million people in this country alone with that and

:35:18.:35:23.

it's a serious medical condition. We are looking for solutions. What

:35:23.:35:28.

is exciting about this research is that could there be a simple

:35:28.:35:31.

solution that is part of the solution by dropping the amount of

:35:31.:35:36.

sugar laden drinks we drink. contacted the British Soft Drinks

:35:36.:35:40.

Association who said this study was flawed because it wasn't designed

:35:40.:35:46.

to measure whether diabetes was caused by the diet of these

:35:46.:35:52.

basically, so do the drinks cause type 2 diabetes. The study is

:35:52.:35:56.

absolutely not flawed. It's credible because of the size, there

:35:57.:36:01.

are 28,000 people in the study. Secondly, it looks at people who

:36:01.:36:04.

were without diabetes from the start and who developed diabetes

:36:04.:36:07.

forward in time and what's really important is that it's adding to

:36:08.:36:11.

the growing and mounting evidence from other countries as well, so

:36:11.:36:17.

one of the things we use in the research field to judge whether

:36:17.:36:21.

something is causily related, meaning one causes the other, is to

:36:21.:36:24.

look for consistency of the links that are found across different

:36:25.:36:30.

countries and even the size of the effect that is found. Remarkably,

:36:30.:36:34.

it's near identical in every study that's been done. Plus, the study

:36:34.:36:38.

really was very careful to account for loads of other factors that can

:36:38.:36:41.

distort the findings, things like whether people are physically

:36:41.:36:44.

active or not, whether they are drinking alcohol, whether they are

:36:44.:36:49.

educated enough, and a whole host of factors. Thank you. A lot of

:36:49.:36:53.

sugar in some soft drinks. There are lots on the market. A test for

:36:53.:36:57.

you two now, Lenny and Kevin. are going to get into trouble now.

:36:57.:37:05.

We are not allowed to drink all of them. We'd like you to put them in

:37:05.:37:12.

order as to which contains the most sugar. That's pretty high. That's a

:37:12.:37:21.

diet one, the least sugar. We shall see. Smaubury smoothie. Lots of

:37:21.:37:28.

sugar in that -- strawberry. That's a flavoured water one. That's going

:37:28.:37:35.

to be less. This is a power drink. That's going to go over here

:37:35.:37:41.

somewhere. That's got a lot of sugar in! Put them in order.I

:37:41.:37:45.

don't know, juice has a lot of sugar in, this is ofrpbg and mango

:37:45.:37:50.

juice drink, so maybe about there, I don't know -- orange and mango.

:37:50.:37:58.

What is that? Ribena. What flavour?, blackcurrant. That will be in the

:37:58.:38:05.

middle. Do you know the answer?Of course I do. You would be surprised.

:38:05.:38:10.

You have got one of them right. That's the one right at the end

:38:10.:38:14.

which is the sugar substitute option, OK. So that's got

:38:14.:38:19.

artificial sweeteners in it. Let's rearrange these, shall we. A few

:38:20.:38:24.

surprises in there. Oh, my days. That wants to go there and that

:38:24.:38:31.

wants to go there. Then we are going to get that there. The

:38:31.:38:37.

smoothie goes top. That is it.My children have been poisoned! This

:38:37.:38:45.

is sugar content, isn't it? So the highest sugar in each drink?

:38:45.:38:51.

that's surely good sugar?! Well dodgy. There are a lot of

:38:51.:38:55.

misconceptions out there. There are different types of sugar, there's

:38:55.:38:59.

infrastructure toes, sucrose and glucose. Those that have added

:38:59.:39:03.

sugars are the ones that are nutritionally otherwise empty, so

:39:03.:39:07.

they are what we call empty calories, so you are not getting

:39:07.:39:12.

any health benefits. And proportion is key, keep it low? Absolutely.

:39:12.:39:16.

With fruit smoothies, they have goodness because they've got

:39:16.:39:21.

natural fruit in them. Eat the fruit if you can. That's better. If

:39:21.:39:28.

you are going to drink smoothies, portion control because the five-a-

:39:28.:39:34.

day message, they allow smoothies in a portion, this is half a litre,

:39:34.:39:39.

150ml is a portion. Eat fruit and drink water. Get some council pop

:39:39.:39:43.

down you, it's lovely! Thank you very much. Today is officially the

:39:44.:39:49.

first day of summer! APPLAUSE

:39:49.:39:53.

What happened to spring?! Anyway, for many towns, preparations for

:39:53.:39:57.

May Day carnivals are under way. For the town of Soham in Cambridge,

:39:57.:40:02.

this year's carnival is a pretty special one, isn't it? It's their

:40:02.:40:06.

Diamond Jubilee and they've got big plans. So let me come over here.

:40:06.:40:12.

What is happening, Kate? We decided the committee and the chair decided

:40:12.:40:16.

it would be good fun to find as many of our 60 carnival Princesses

:40:16.:40:20.

as we could. How many have you found and how many do you need?

:40:20.:40:26.

Found a lot and we are missing 22 and have a gap between 1975 and

:40:26.:40:30.

1989. You brought some of your favourites tonight. So let's have a

:40:30.:40:39.

look at Miss 1953. Come on in! Jean, it was a special year, wasn't

:40:39.:40:45.

it? Obviously the Coronation and celebrations and everything, yes.

:40:45.:40:48.

Lots of street parties. It was great fun. Did you meet your

:40:48.:40:56.

husband in this year? Yes, I was 15 at the time. How old were you when

:40:56.:41:04.

you got married? But he'd been to a scout jamboree

:41:04.:41:09.

at Sandringham and he'd come back so we've been together ever since.

:41:09.:41:15.

Do you socialise with Miss 1968? Yes. We'll bring her in. Come in,

:41:15.:41:23.

Eunice. Welcome, welcome. What was your story then? In 1968, I was

:41:23.:41:27.

saying with a friend who wanted to enter the competition but not alone

:41:27.:41:32.

so she talked me into joining her for moral support and the rest is

:41:32.:41:37.

history. Oh, you were crowned and there you are! I was, I was.Don't

:41:37.:41:42.

you look beautiful. Fantastic. won the next year. Very good of you

:41:42.:41:49.

because you didn't enter that year. On we go then to Miss 1990. Come on

:41:49.:41:54.

in, Emma. It was all a bit of a surprise for

:41:54.:41:59.

you and your mum, the crowning? my nana went and put my picture in

:41:59.:42:05.

the paper without telling us. seemed shy about that. Were you

:42:05.:42:09.

embarrassed in the day? A bit embarrassed. There you are, look.

:42:09.:42:14.

How old were you? Seven.Isn't that lovely. Surely you were a carnival

:42:14.:42:18.

Queen or Princess, Alex? I would have given my right arm. I wasn't.

:42:18.:42:24.

I hope that neither of you two were, either, by the way. No, no.

:42:24.:42:29.

Never been carnival Queens. Were you ever asked to judge a carnival

:42:29.:42:32.

Queen competition? Only been asked to judge shed of the year, that's

:42:32.:42:39.

all. Not quite the same. You done anything? No, we did a strange

:42:39.:42:45.

beauty Queen judging in Blackpool when I was 17. Hello to the

:42:45.:42:49.

carnival Queen in Suffolk where I turned on the lights or the one

:42:49.:42:54.

light! It was a really lovely day. You might be able to help Kate out

:42:54.:42:58.

organising this. You haven't just brought the carnival Queens but

:42:58.:43:03.

some lovely old footage. Talk us through these? A fabulous gentleman

:43:03.:43:08.

in the town has a good collection of cine films, so we have some

:43:09.:43:13.

great footage of the floats. We are hoping to put the Princesses on

:43:13.:43:17.

floats again. If you are one of them, we've put a link on the

website and they can get in contact with you? There will be a link to

:43:21.:43:26.

the website. Lovely to see you all. Thank you all ever so much.

:43:26.:43:31.

Carnival Queens! APPLAUSE

:43:31.:43:34.

Thanks, ladies. Nice to have you in the studio. For most women, their

:43:34.:43:38.

wedding is their chance to be a Queen for the day and wearing a

:43:38.:43:41.

wedding dress is a once in a lifetime affair. In Londonderry on

:43:41.:43:44.

Saturday, hundreds of women were given the chance to put them on

:43:44.:43:48.

again, only this time they were crossing a bridge, not the

:43:48.:43:55.

threshold. Almost a year ago, my uncle died

:43:55.:44:00.

and he received really good care from the hospice. We really wanted

:44:00.:44:05.

to do something to say thank you. I had remembered that a few friends

:44:05.:44:09.

of mine had got together and all tried on their old wedding dresses

:44:09.:44:14.

and they raised money and I thought, maybe we could do something along

:44:15.:44:21.

those lines, but bigger. I'm Sharon Doherty. I was married

:44:21.:44:28.

25 years ago this year, 1988. wold you feel 25 years on wearing

:44:28.:44:32.

your most special dress that you have ever bought in your life --

:44:32.:44:38.

how would you feel? Horrendous when it doesn't fit. Every woman wants

:44:38.:44:44.

to hold on to their wedding dress, the special one. It's the only

:44:44.:44:48.

dress where you don't feel guilty about spending the money. I have

:44:48.:44:52.

two daughters and they said, get yours and try it on. I got it out,

:44:52.:44:59.

got it on and they said "Mummy, what were you thinking?" they were

:44:59.:45:06.

horrified. I'm Gill, I got married eight years

:45:06.:45:09.

ago and I'm here today in my wedding dress.

:45:09.:45:13.

The reason I chose this dress was basically my mum, whenever I tried

:45:13.:45:17.

it on, it brought a tear to my mum's eye, so that was how it was

:45:17.:45:21.

decided. Great to be back in my wedding dress again today, great to

:45:21.:45:23.

get the attention of everybody looking at you, to feel just like

:45:23.:45:31.

you did on your wedding day. I've had kids and fit in my dress and

:45:31.:45:41.
:45:41.:45:54.

day. This was not it. It meant a lot of me to put it on today as I was

:45:54.:45:59.

doing the walk in memory of my sister. All my children, when they

:45:59.:46:02.

saw me parading around the house in a big white dress they were laughing

:46:02.:46:12.
:46:12.:46:19.

at me. They gave me the thumbs up on the side. They thought it was OK.

:46:20.:46:25.

have secondary cancer, I'm on chemothearpy and hoping that I will

:46:25.:46:32.

be able to go on for another wee while. I feel good. Since the

:46:32.:46:37.

hairdresser dyed my hair pink, I feel quite funky. We are here, all

:46:37.:46:42.

of the work has come to this. We are really excited. There is a great

:46:42.:46:47.

turn out. The buzz around town is amazing. We will walk across the

:46:47.:46:57.
:46:57.:47:27.

girls in their dresses. Tarzan will be remembered for his sidekick-

:47:27.:47:34.

on how can you jump from wedding dress to Tarzan? There is a

:47:34.:47:42.

potential new star in the chimpanzees world he will be on

:47:42.:47:48.

screen on Friday. How does this show work. I don't know! It has to be the

:47:48.:47:58.
:47:58.:47:59.

nut. Hold on. They are using rocks! No-one said anything about rocks. Mr

:47:59.:48:09.
:48:09.:48:16.

Rock. Come to Papa. Yes, OK. That's one. A h. We are joined by two of

:48:16.:48:21.

the British directors behind chimpanzees, Alistair Fothergill and

:48:21.:48:26.

Mark Linfield. It is an extraordinary watch. Do put it as a

:48:26.:48:32.

documentary or a drama? Is it a movie. It is the lot? It's. It's not

:48:32.:48:38.

a drama. It's true to nature it happened out there in the wild. It's

:48:38.:48:42.

not a documentary. It's a movie. We wanted to make a wildlife movie for

:48:42.:48:47.

the big screen. That means fantastic story and great characters. If you

:48:47.:48:52.

want animal stars of the big screen you can't get better than

:48:52.:48:58.

chimpanzees. How difficult was it to film and how much patience did it

:48:58.:49:05.

require? Patience, 700 days over three years. That is patience. Why,

:49:06.:49:09.

it was actually about the hardest thing we have ever done, to be

:49:09.:49:15.

honest. Why do you say that?It's dark in the rainforest. There is a

:49:15.:49:19.

canopy over head. Chimpanzees are black and live in the shadows. If's

:49:19.:49:25.

wet. It's the rainforest, rainforest have wet seasons. The chimpanzees

:49:25.:49:28.

did most of the interesting things in the wettest time of the year.

:49:28.:49:34.

They travel great distances. Maybe 15 kilometers a day. We had to keep

:49:34.:49:39.

up with them with rucksacks on our back. Half of the time you lose

:49:39.:49:43.

them. It being Disney you have to sign it off with so many people.

:49:43.:49:47.

This is the story, this is what we will film. You went in there and

:49:47.:49:50.

everything changed. The whole thing evolved? We wanted to follow the

:49:50.:49:55.

first two or three years in the life of a baby chimpanzee because they

:49:55.:50:00.

are dead cute when they are young. 50% of newborn chimpanzees die in

:50:00.:50:04.

the first five years. It would be a great story there. A lot of the

:50:04.:50:08.

things we expected to happen did happen. Some complete surprises

:50:08.:50:12.

happened. We ended up with a story Bert than we could have written

:50:12.:50:17.

ourselves. We don't want to spoil it. We will not spoil. It following

:50:17.:50:23.

Oscar's story is lovely. The end is superb. We won't spoil it. Will it

:50:23.:50:29.

be in the movies or television? Movies. It is a great cause you are

:50:29.:50:33.

helping a lot of money goes from ticketing? Yeah. Very important

:50:33.:50:38.

thing is that chimpanzees are doing badly in the wild. In the last 20

:50:38.:50:43.

years the populations have gone down by 90%. We are working closely with

:50:43.:50:47.

the Whiled Chip Foundation. Fantastic charity working to

:50:47.:50:52.

preserve chimpanzees. There are details on the website. Both used to

:50:52.:50:55.

working with David Attenborough, Tim Allen's voice sounds superb over

:50:56.:51:03.

this film. How was he to work with? Fantastic. Because this film is,

:51:03.:51:07.

it's almost like a human reality show with lots of comedy, you can't

:51:07.:51:12.

help it with chimpanzees, we wanted a comic voice. Tim was great. He had

:51:12.:51:18.

fantastic timing. The real surprise was he would keep going off piste

:51:18.:51:22.

and ad-libbing some of the favourite lines in the movie we didn't write

:51:22.:51:32.

them, he came out with them. He had us in stitches. Thank you very much.

:51:32.:51:42.
:51:42.:51:49.

Well worth a peak. It's in cinemas from Friday. Earlier we saw Ainsley

:51:49.:51:54.

preparing a surprise camp fire feast for devoted scout leaders Chris and

:51:54.:52:01.

Barry. Can former cub Ainsley remember how to light a fire. Thank

:52:01.:52:06.

you for all the amazing work we have done, we are putting on a camp fire

:52:06.:52:10.

feast. The response is amazing. The head teacher at the school has lent

:52:10.:52:15.

us the kitchen and lent all the facilities here. I have to say, the

:52:15.:52:21.

community of Wickham have come together for Chris and Barry. Top.

:52:21.:52:29.

We have got lots to do. The scants need to make potato salad with

:52:29.:52:36.

gherkins. Mix it together. Some delicious dishes. For the

:52:36.:52:42.

vegetarians some spicy bean burgers. All that for 100 people. I'm only

:52:42.:52:49.

allowed to supervise. The time is just after 3. 20pm. This is a little

:52:49.:52:55.

bit stressful. Everyone is taking it casual. Some people are making

:52:55.:52:59.

burgers, they would think they were playing with play doe or something.

:52:59.:53:03.

My worries are unfounded. They pull out all the stops in the final

:53:03.:53:09.

half-hour. The feast is starting to come together. The Scouts expertly

:53:09.:53:14.

light the camp fire and the barbecues will soon be ready for the

:53:14.:53:19.

burgers. All we need now is our guests of honour. Are they here?

:53:19.:53:22.

Barry and Chris have been told to turn up for an interview with the

:53:23.:53:27.

local news about their fundraising success. They have no idea about the

:53:27.:53:34.

surprise party. Who have we got here then? Hello.How are you? Hello

:53:34.:53:40.

Chris, how are you darling. How are you? I'm really good. Have you had a

:53:40.:53:44.

good day? If they are puzzled now, wait until they see what is in

:53:44.:53:49.

store. I got together this morning and sent out a message to a few

:53:49.:53:53.

people saying, I want to do a celebration for you. All I have to

:53:53.:54:03.
:54:03.:54:19.

going on. We have hundreds of burgers and sausages. Look at the

:54:19.:54:23.

salads. How does it make you feel, thinking that people respond like

:54:23.:54:28.

that? Very proud. Very, very proud. I'm proud of everyone. With the

:54:28.:54:35.

burgers on the Barbie Kew our forest feast gets underway. You have the

:54:35.:54:39.

onions looking good there. What are you going to have? A burger on top

:54:39.:54:45.

of that. A local burger or a veggie burger? Chris and Barry are great. I

:54:45.:54:49.

have known them 10 years in Scouts. Chris has been there the whole time,

:54:49.:54:53.

always organising stuff. She has been part of every single level of

:54:53.:54:57.

Scouting I have been in. She put everything into everything when they

:54:57.:55:04.

do it. They do so much for everyone. For the community. They think of

:55:04.:55:10.

other people before actually themselves. Yeah.It's really kind.

:55:10.:55:14.

With everyone served it's time to catch up with our two community

:55:14.:55:21.

heroes. What do you think of the food? Fantastic.I've had a great

:55:21.:55:27.

deal. The community of Wickham have really pulled it off. If you are a

:55:27.:55:32.

fan of manmade homes like Kevin will you love this. Feast your eyes on

:55:32.:55:36.

how spacious. Lenny is a big lad. You have loads of room. Stretch your

:55:36.:55:45.

legs out. A whole heap of room.When we go outside. Look we are in a tiny

:55:45.:55:52.

house. It's unbelievable. It has wheels, you can move the thing. It

:55:52.:56:00.

has an upstairs. Hello. What year were you Carnival Queen. 2012.Back

:56:00.:56:06.

inside. Now then, let's look at the facilities. We have a whole kitchen.

:56:06.:56:10.

You can make your dinner, a sink, somewhere to put your wine. We have

:56:10.:56:16.

the living room area, complete with fire and telly for you to watch the

:56:16.:56:21.

One Show. In the bathroom, look. You can be on the toilet, how lady-like,

:56:21.:56:26.

have a shower at the same time. Perfect. I don't think you are

:56:26.:56:31.

supposed to have a shower at the same time. There is room for three

:56:31.:56:34.

Carnival Queens. Above the front door there is another bed. How does

:56:34.:56:39.

this compare to yours? My shed is darker. It is a lot dirtier. It has

:56:39.:56:44.

an earth floor. Instead of a fryer, a wood burner made out of an old

:56:44.:56:49.

safe. This is a kind of cleaner, slicker, more beautiful. It's

:56:49.:56:54.

lovely. When did you finish this? Last night? Last night, quite late.

:56:54.:56:59.

How popular are these? Very popular in the States. People have been

:56:59.:57:03.

living in them for 10 years or so. It is starting to catch on over

:57:03.:57:09.

here. Starting to work. Are we talking for one of these? Start,

:57:09.:57:14.

depending on what you want, �10,000, it could be an office or a play

:57:14.:57:20.

room. It could go up to anything you want, �18,000. I love it. It's

:57:20.:57:25.

really cute. You can move it, have accommodation on the road. There is

:57:25.:57:34.

more room here than in a Premier Nn room. How dare you!Come outside.

:57:34.:57:37.

There are eco-friendly things you can have. The bird table caught my

:57:37.:57:43.

attention. You know about the man who knead chair? I do.Lenny, would

:57:43.:57:49.

you put this outside? This is beautiful. A little pool.More space

:57:49.:57:56.

here than in there. That is true. This is going into my exhibition

:57:56.:58:03.

within the exhibition at Grand Designs Live, it's made out of

:58:03.:58:09.

sprungs and leather. It's amazingly comfortable as you would expect from

:58:09.:58:13.

something made from springs. It's strangely comfortable. It's made by

:58:13.:58:19.

one couple from 26 years worth of drinking. It's the em embodiment of

:58:19.:58:27.

memory. It's the embodiment of alcohol. Alex is in this hammock.

:58:27.:58:33.

This is lovely. It's made from seatbelts. These are the wonderful

:58:33.:58:43.
:58:43.:58:43.

sheds we asked for. Duncan Thomas. The door is falling off. This is

:58:43.:58:48.

hilarious. Lots and lots of sheds. Thank you so much to Kevin and

:58:48.:58:57.

Lenny. Grand Designs Live is on at Excel Centre. You can see Lenny in

:58:57.:59:01.
