:00:16. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to your May Day One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:19. > :00:22.As it's a Bank Holiday we've supersized the show
:00:23. > :00:27.One is a Super Vet, the real life Dr Doolittle
:00:28. > :00:31.who saves animals using pioneering surgery.
:00:32. > :00:34.The other is a superstar who's gone from pulling beers in Cheers
:00:35. > :00:37.to playing Hunger Games before ending up Lost in London
:00:38. > :00:58.CHEERING It is nice to see you. Hello, how
:00:59. > :01:01.are you? Have a seat. Sit down. It is nice to see you both, what a
:01:02. > :01:07.treat for a bank holiday. It is great to see you. Noel is over the
:01:08. > :01:16.moon because he is a big fan. Yes, big fan. This is great. Beside one
:01:17. > :01:26.of my heroes. Thank you. Larry Flynn, you were amazing. Amazing.
:01:27. > :01:33.Thank you. Andrew Detective. -- and true Detective full stop did you
:01:34. > :01:38.enjoy that? Yes, that was fun. It was extraordinary, really good. We
:01:39. > :01:42.are going to have a trip down memory lane, and also talking about your
:01:43. > :01:48.new film Lost In London, this issue out in Cambridge, punting. -- this
:01:49. > :01:55.is you. How did you get on with this? I'm a natural. How far did you
:01:56. > :02:01.get? That is a wild little sport they've got going. You can get the
:02:02. > :02:07.boat going the wrong direction. Pretty much in the balance, there.
:02:08. > :02:13.The big news of the weekend, the boxing, and you were there? Yes, I
:02:14. > :02:21.was. Seven rows from the front? Who do you know? Somebody, I'm not going
:02:22. > :02:27.to tell you. They came out, both the machines, and what was
:02:28. > :02:35.extraordinary, and they were in front of 90,000 people. They were
:02:36. > :02:42.machines. A great advert for kids, and inspiration. It was mind blowing
:02:43. > :02:47.in the fifth round. They came out. Joshua was doing amazing. You
:02:48. > :02:52.thought the fight was over, and then Klitschko turns it around in the
:02:53. > :02:55.same round. Amazing. When he went down in the sixth round, he was
:02:56. > :03:01.standing up again, and that will be the making of him. It is still is
:03:02. > :03:07.humility and perspective, you get down and you go up again. You played
:03:08. > :03:14.a boxer in Play It To The Bone? Yes, I did. You were hitting each other?
:03:15. > :03:22.We did a bit of actual hitting each other. Oh! LAUGHTER
:03:23. > :03:30.Look at that! Is that really me? So weird. I remember, the first time I
:03:31. > :03:33.actually did some boxing, the guy who was teaching me said, we are
:03:34. > :03:41.going to do a couple of rounds of boxing. This was after training a
:03:42. > :03:44.while. The adrenaline and everything, the cardio after, I
:03:45. > :03:48.remember at one point, there was someone who has the time and they
:03:49. > :03:54.said, one minute. Meaning we had only been at it one minute. And I
:03:55. > :03:58.wanted to hit the person who said that, I was freaking out because I
:03:59. > :04:02.was so exhausted at one minute. It doesn't bear thinking about. What
:04:03. > :04:07.they do, the level of fitness. Extraordinary. We are going to talk
:04:08. > :04:11.about your film, and you have a lovely hat. Lost In London. Yes, I'm
:04:12. > :04:15.promoting it. It's only 15 years from now but man
:04:16. > :04:21.has been replaced by machine - Sounds like the script of Woody's
:04:22. > :04:28.next film but according to Top Gear presenter and technology expert
:04:29. > :04:38.Rory Reid, science fiction Robots are capable of carrying out
:04:39. > :04:43.increasingly sophisticated tasks. But it's claimed that by 2030 up to
:04:44. > :04:46.a third of jobs could be automated. And we are not just talking about
:04:47. > :04:52.jobs that involve lifting and moving things. It is thought robots could
:04:53. > :04:57.one day replace more skilled workers, possibly even chefs and
:04:58. > :05:03.surgeons. But how realistic is this? The government is certainly behind
:05:04. > :05:06.the idea, they announced ?17 million of funding to review the development
:05:07. > :05:11.of artificial intelligence for the UK in February and in a periodical
:05:12. > :05:16.which London they are already putting this into practice. This
:05:17. > :05:24.doctor introduces me to a robot. Nice to meet you. So, what is so
:05:25. > :05:29.special about this robot? He is learning to carry out tasks by trial
:05:30. > :05:34.and error. You have equipped it with a hockey stick. Yes, we are trying
:05:35. > :05:40.to learn how to strike a hockey puck and get this to a target position.
:05:41. > :05:45.That is not bad. This is a robot that learns by itself? Yes, but we
:05:46. > :05:51.still have to supervise it, but over time it should be able to learn new
:05:52. > :05:55.skills on its own. Oh! It will learn to anticipate the needs of their
:05:56. > :05:59.human co-worker and they will pass the right tool just before the human
:06:00. > :06:07.needs it. They will get better and better until they can do it fully
:06:08. > :06:10.autonomously. That is perfect. The ability of a robot to learn and
:06:11. > :06:14.develop through its own experience is called reinforcement learning but
:06:15. > :06:18.the ability of robots to imitate human behaviour is already being
:06:19. > :06:25.applied to Comdex tasks like cooking. Which is why I have come
:06:26. > :06:35.here to meet a fully automated chef. Robo chef. The inventor is Mark. He
:06:36. > :06:40.can cook on the same kitchen like this and Robo chef can copy this
:06:41. > :06:42.movement. The robot is looking at the physical movements of a human
:06:43. > :06:49.and doing the same thing? Absolutely. It is time to see this
:06:50. > :06:54.in action. There it goes. This is freaky. Although Robo chef has been
:06:55. > :07:01.fully trained it seems it still needs a helping human hand now and
:07:02. > :07:06.again. It is sticking. Masterchef winner Tim Anderson was amongst
:07:07. > :07:10.those who helped with the training. Because it uses hands it can do,
:07:11. > :07:13.eventually, everything a human can do because these are the most
:07:14. > :07:17.effective tools we have for cooking and a lot of things. But how does
:07:18. > :07:25.the cooking stand up against that of Tim Anderson? We have set our very
:07:26. > :07:30.own One Show test. Robo chef and Tim Anderson will cook and we will put
:07:31. > :07:38.them to the test later. Robots and gentlemen, let's cook. Tiny bit of
:07:39. > :07:41.adjustment to make. Whilst I have my doubts that advanced robots taking
:07:42. > :07:46.skilled jobs will become a reality any time soon, there are those that
:07:47. > :07:51.view this would concern. According to a recent report by the global
:07:52. > :07:54.employment Institute, governments might need to consider into juicing
:07:55. > :07:59.human quotas for companies to protect jobs in the future. --
:08:00. > :08:04.introducing. This woman that the report. If we think many jobs are
:08:05. > :08:07.eliminated we have got to think, what we do with these people and so
:08:08. > :08:12.we have got to think about retraining and another solution
:08:13. > :08:16.could be to find different social security systems so that people
:08:17. > :08:21.don't have to work and can do other creative jobs, but governments need
:08:22. > :08:25.to think about it now and not we have mass dismissals. But for now it
:08:26. > :08:31.is time to find out what is happening in our One Show test of
:08:32. > :08:36.man versus robot. That should do it. Robo chef and Tim Anderson have both
:08:37. > :08:39.made their soups so it is time to take them out to the streets of
:08:40. > :08:46.London to see which one the public prefers. It smells nice. That's
:08:47. > :08:51.really good. This one was made by Masterchef winner Tim Anderson. I
:08:52. > :08:59.prefer this one. That was actually made by a robot. LAUGHTER
:09:00. > :09:06.A robot. Masterchef Tim Anderson. By a robot. The robot. It is getting
:09:07. > :09:13.tight. Masterchef winner Tim Anderson. So that is it, 5-4 in
:09:14. > :09:19.favour of Tim Anderson that so the results are in. Who would have
:09:20. > :09:23.thought? Well, he's good but he's not taking my job, and who would've
:09:24. > :09:29.thought a robot could almost match the skills our Masterchef winner.
:09:30. > :09:33.And why I do think -- and while I think robots are a long way from
:09:34. > :09:41.taking the jobs of chefs in kitchens, this has given me food for
:09:42. > :09:45.thought. Do you think we can ever get to a point where robots are
:09:46. > :09:51.going to take over? I'm not going to be out of a job any time soon. I
:09:52. > :09:54.think they can do a lot, it is remarkable what they can do and they
:09:55. > :10:02.are quite clever, but they are only clever... Not intuitive, but it is a
:10:03. > :10:07.cognitive thing, and I don't think they would ever have the skill set
:10:08. > :10:11.of him as an actor or me as a surgeon because they can't make
:10:12. > :10:16.those judgments. Dogs are smarter than humans, just think about it.
:10:17. > :10:22.They understand a lot of our words but we haven't got any of their
:10:23. > :10:26.words. Correct. I've said that recently, they speak a language but
:10:27. > :10:32.we have chosen not to understand. Because we think we are all that.
:10:33. > :10:39.You must have come across that in your movie with the apes? The apes
:10:40. > :10:43.do a lot of things with sign language and they understand a
:10:44. > :10:49.massive amount of words. They can communicate. With your lifestyle,
:10:50. > :10:54.you lead a very eco-friendly existence. You live in off grade and
:10:55. > :11:03.all of that, and I guess you prefer a lack of technology? I just want to
:11:04. > :11:07.have a soft footprint on the earth. I feel like a lot of what we do in
:11:08. > :11:13.terms of you look at our waste on a regular basis, just personally. How
:11:14. > :11:23.much we throw away, plastic, paper. I tried to do as little of that as
:11:24. > :11:33.possible. And my cars are either be -- bio diesel or Electric. You have
:11:34. > :11:41.five varieties of avocado. Why is that? That is my favourite fruit?
:11:42. > :11:44.Ten use ago no one knew what it was, -- ten use ago no one knew what it
:11:45. > :11:53.was and they thought it was just a dodgy colour for a bathroom. OK.
:11:54. > :12:00.Let's talk about this cat and your film Lost In London. -- cap. It was
:12:01. > :12:04.shot in January in one take from start to finish and it was beamed
:12:05. > :12:11.live to cinemas for the audience. Where did the idea come from? I
:12:12. > :12:14.always have this concept, of merging theatre and film and I thought it
:12:15. > :12:22.would be cool because if you can it something in real time, this is long
:12:23. > :12:25.before other films try to do that. It was not technologically possible
:12:26. > :12:32.at the time I have the idea because it was just film. You could not have
:12:33. > :12:37.shot that long. Since I'm pretty slow from the germination of an idea
:12:38. > :12:43.to its conclusion, technology caught up with the idea. And I thought this
:12:44. > :12:46.would be great, this would be merging theatre and film to shoot
:12:47. > :12:52.this in real time, in this case 99 minutes. In fact, that is not true,
:12:53. > :12:57.you need an audience for this to be theatre, and then I thought, maybe
:12:58. > :13:01.you could live stream it as you shoot it, if you are going to shoot
:13:02. > :13:07.it in real time, anyway. Yes, why not. You have got the sound cues and
:13:08. > :13:12.the music cues, but it seems like it would be possible. I didn't realise
:13:13. > :13:17.what an undertaking it would be otherwise I would have bailed on
:13:18. > :13:20.that idea. LAUGHTER It is based on a drunken night out
:13:21. > :13:25.in London and at the beginning of the film it says too much of this
:13:26. > :13:33.true, so how much of it is true? Too much. But how much is too much?
:13:34. > :13:39.Let's keep it ambiguous. We showed it yesterday twice, at the picture
:13:40. > :13:44.house, because they are our bodies, and it was great, the response.
:13:45. > :13:49.People wanted to know that and I thought, I've already got enough...
:13:50. > :13:54.You can hate me enough for what you see on that screen, and if I tell
:13:55. > :13:59.you how much is true, that could be a problem. We have a clip. This is
:14:00. > :14:01.Owen Wilson who is playing himself and he is trying to tell you how to
:14:02. > :14:16.avoid a media scandal. You didn't pay? I tried to
:14:17. > :14:28.negotiate. You cannot negotiate with Marty. But he is a lawyer, they
:14:29. > :14:40.negotiate. You know who did not negotiate, the little people.
:14:41. > :14:44.How far in to the movie was that roughly and how much did you have to
:14:45. > :14:52.rehearse to do this, so many questions! We had two months of
:14:53. > :14:59.rehearsal. It was very intense. A lot of rehearsal for where the
:15:00. > :15:03.camera would be. And you know, the production design had to allow for
:15:04. > :15:08.the camera to look in every direction at any point. So the
:15:09. > :15:13.writing itself as well. But for you as an actor, because you want to be
:15:14. > :15:17.in the moment as much as you can but where you're just thinking ahead for
:15:18. > :15:24.the whole time? That was a problem and in fact that was going on all
:15:25. > :15:29.the time. I was doing a pretty horrific job as an actor until
:15:30. > :15:33.finally it was the night of the shoot and Nigel Willoughby told me
:15:34. > :15:41.forget the directing, you are just the actor. And I thought yeah, that
:15:42. > :15:46.is true. And hopefully being my bread and butter I was able to pull
:15:47. > :15:50.that off. You said yourself it was quite a gamble. This show is a
:15:51. > :15:59.gamble every night and it is just 30 minutes. Were you happy with the end
:16:00. > :16:05.result? There are some mistakes, there is one quite large mistake.
:16:06. > :16:10.Where an actor did not come into his scene when he was supposed to. But
:16:11. > :16:16.showing it to people, it is like a diamond with flaws. You're not going
:16:17. > :16:23.to pay as much as you would for a non-flawed diamond. But I've shown
:16:24. > :16:29.it to people and they do not know where the problem is. They do not
:16:30. > :16:33.see it. I saw it, it was pretty obvious. Maybe the beauty is in that
:16:34. > :16:39.the floor. But it almost didn't happen because of something that
:16:40. > :16:45.happened on Westminster Bridge? Yes, Waterloo Bridge. That was a
:16:46. > :16:52.significant occasion for us and then that night they found a World War II
:16:53. > :17:00.unexploded bomb close to the bridge. They left this thing 70 years ago!
:17:01. > :17:07.People had survived. It was the first time I ever had a personal
:17:08. > :17:15.beef with Hitler. I never much liked and before that! Lost in London is
:17:16. > :17:17.now at selected cinemas. Go and see it for yourself.
:17:18. > :17:20.As Noel's here we thought we'd show a fascinating film about an animal
:17:21. > :17:24.And it just so happens, Woody, that it's a woodpecker.
:17:25. > :17:45.The nature reserve in Bedfordshire is home to one of the most peculiar
:17:46. > :17:49.birds. This is a creature whose anatomy allows it to bang its head
:17:50. > :17:53.into a tree trunk hundreds of times a day and still come back for more
:17:54. > :17:59.the very next day. It is the woodpecker. The drumming of the
:18:00. > :18:05.great spotted woodpecker is a sign that the breeding season is upon us.
:18:06. > :18:10.Woodpecker is drawn to attract a mate automata -- to mark out
:18:11. > :18:14.territory. But how do they help create our Spring soundtrack without
:18:15. > :18:21.sustaining serious head injuries? I'm hoping to show you. Despite the
:18:22. > :18:24.noise that woodpeckers make spotting one of these avian head-bangers is
:18:25. > :18:28.not always as easy as you might imagine. To track the woodpecker
:18:29. > :18:34.down I need some local knowledge. Lizzie Bruce is the RSPB warden
:18:35. > :18:40.here. This site is amazing, great spotted woodpecker, the occasional
:18:41. > :18:45.lesser spotted woodpecker, the green woodpecker. Where is the best place
:18:46. > :18:49.amongst these trees to track them down? They tend to use the whole
:18:50. > :18:55.area but generally we look for areas of Deadwood, standing Deadwood would
:18:56. > :18:59.tell you where they favour because when they drawn into that it
:19:00. > :19:02.resonates better. The most likely way we're going to find the
:19:03. > :19:08.woodpecker is by using our ears, listening them. I have quite big
:19:09. > :19:16.ears but they're not as big as Gregory, the wildlife sound
:19:17. > :19:19.recorders, and his electronic year. I have a parabolic reflector and it
:19:20. > :19:24.travels through the air and bounces off curved walls and is focused to
:19:25. > :19:28.the central point where the microphone sits. To help locate the
:19:29. > :19:32.woodpecker Gregory just needs to scan the landscape and listen for
:19:33. > :19:37.the sound of the drumming. But you have a lot of landscape to scan. We
:19:38. > :19:46.will be here sometime. After a lot of searching... That is one. There
:19:47. > :19:53.is another. About ten, 15 metres in that direction. I cannot see it for
:19:54. > :20:04.love nor money. Then finally... There it is. Even I can hear that. A
:20:05. > :20:11.couple of e-mails are vying for the same territory. Normally this time
:20:12. > :20:16.of year is all about the males scrapping for territory but we have
:20:17. > :20:23.e-mails, all happening right above our head this female is clearly
:20:24. > :20:29.trying to make their presence known. From slowing down the footage, I
:20:30. > :20:36.calculate that this bird is drumming about 17 times per second. So how
:20:37. > :20:41.does it avoid head injury? Recent research has come up with some
:20:42. > :20:46.revelations. First there are microscopic spongy bones in the
:20:47. > :20:50.skull that soften the impact. Next the woodpecker has an incredibly
:20:51. > :20:56.long bone, an extension of its tongue. It acts like a seat belt,
:20:57. > :21:01.restraining the violent recoil of its head. And lastly, unlike humans,
:21:02. > :21:06.where the brain is more likely to rattle around on impact, the brain
:21:07. > :21:11.of the woodpecker is packed tightly into the skull to reduce that
:21:12. > :21:15.rattling. These are all fascinating discoveries. But they could also
:21:16. > :21:20.have an important use. Scientists all over the world are looking at
:21:21. > :21:26.the woodpecker to see how they can improve head protection technology.
:21:27. > :21:29.One inventor in India came up with this cycle helmet which has a
:21:30. > :21:35.lattice of cardboard inside that is meant to mimic the spongy bone of a
:21:36. > :21:45.woodpecker skull. Not of course that I'm planning on going banging my
:21:46. > :21:51.head against any trees. That was a nice first for you, Noel,
:21:52. > :21:56.you have never operated on a woodpecker. I love operating on wild
:21:57. > :22:03.animals. I was just watching that and I felt the fight on Saturday
:22:04. > :22:06.night, the brain wobbling around, they could learn something from the
:22:07. > :22:18.woodpecker. But with much to learn from animals and we choose not to do
:22:19. > :22:24.it. Well Noel is probably the most famous vet in this country. Just
:22:25. > :22:31.explain a bit about what you do. We save broken animals. What we do is,
:22:32. > :22:38.we try and move technology forward to give animals hope. So stem cell
:22:39. > :22:42.work, rebuilding body parts, trying to repair damaged tissue. But not
:22:43. > :22:47.that any expense, just if it is morally the right thing to do. We
:22:48. > :22:52.were talking a bit about when it is right to do something where is that
:22:53. > :22:57.line. And this is something that we explore a lot in the show, in this
:22:58. > :23:03.series, there is a lot of failure. And in fact this week is the most
:23:04. > :23:09.difficult I have ever had it. You're talking about Bella the Boxer dog.
:23:10. > :23:14.We have a case this week alongside the hedgehog, who all remarkably had
:23:15. > :23:18.broken their left back leg, the mustard in crossing, you have a go
:23:19. > :23:24.at it! They all broke their left back leg. But in that same show, we
:23:25. > :23:31.have the single greatest failure I have ever been through on the
:23:32. > :23:37.television show. It was not really about my pain even though that was
:23:38. > :23:41.intense because you store all the cemetery of your fingers in your
:23:42. > :23:44.heart. But it is about the beautiful human beings that allowed us to go
:23:45. > :23:48.through that journey with them as a message of hope for those who have
:23:49. > :23:52.no hope. Even though we failed, there was some kind of redemption in
:23:53. > :23:57.the failure, a sense of peace that you'd done the right thing to your
:23:58. > :24:00.friend. And that is what the show is about, the centrepiece that you've
:24:01. > :24:04.done the right thing for your friend, who is a member of your
:24:05. > :24:09.family and for humanity as well because animals put the human in
:24:10. > :24:12.humanity. And I guess the difficulty for you is you are pioneering the
:24:13. > :24:16.stuff and you have got to try it out in some way, shape or form and you
:24:17. > :24:21.are learning as you go along. And you have this goal by the time you
:24:22. > :24:27.reach 50, to be lying on the floor of a hospital. My goal when I was
:24:28. > :24:33.11, I watched wolverine, I was a big fan of the avengers and I thought
:24:34. > :24:37.what if we could rebuild them. I was friends with all the animals, very
:24:38. > :24:43.few human friends, still to this day! So I lead a relatively
:24:44. > :24:48.reclusive life and the animals were my friends. I thought, we can
:24:49. > :24:53.rebuild them. I just build this new hospital, opening next year and my
:24:54. > :24:58.ambition for my 50th birthday was to sleep on the floor in this hospital.
:24:59. > :25:02.It is called the Fitzpatrick Institute for the restoration of
:25:03. > :25:06.skeletal tissue. I'm going to sleep on the floor on the first night and
:25:07. > :25:11.in that room I intend to die standing up operating with my
:25:12. > :25:15.kneecaps locked like a horse. They can preserve me to look down and
:25:16. > :25:23.give them instructions in future years. That is my goal. And the
:25:24. > :25:30.children who write into the show gives me hope even in spite of the
:25:31. > :25:35.failure is. We get letters from kids in war-torn regions, letters from
:25:36. > :25:39.kids in a world gone mad. And they find hope in the journeys of those
:25:40. > :25:43.animals and that is important. All those kids watching at home will
:25:44. > :25:53.want to see it a clip and we have the perfect one. The hedgehog.
:25:54. > :25:56.Hedgehog time. First one goes to x-ray, goes out, get the tables
:25:57. > :26:05.lined up and we will run them through. Look at his face! I do not
:26:06. > :26:10.even know what is the front end. We do not usually get little creatures
:26:11. > :26:17.in, normally just cats and dogs, so it is exciting and everyone gets
:26:18. > :26:22.involved. Telephone the outcome is? This
:26:23. > :26:26.weekend in London at Excel I will give the outcome to all the kids
:26:27. > :26:29.because I'm teaching them about taking care of hedgehogs. I'm
:26:30. > :26:38.excited about interacting with them but I will tell you, am I allowed to
:26:39. > :26:42.do that? Let's just say it was a hedgehog battle. It is on on
:26:43. > :26:47.Thursday at eight o'clock on Channel 4. We found out doing some digging
:26:48. > :26:57.that Noel did try his hand originally at acting. Oh, no! And in
:26:58. > :27:04.the archives we found this. I cannot believe you wanted him to die. Stop
:27:05. > :27:08.it! You are only making things worse for him. The longer he is alive, the
:27:09. > :27:19.longer these sufferers. You mean the Longueuil that you suffer. -- the
:27:20. > :27:22.longer. We will crying and Imogen Stubbs
:27:23. > :27:34.cried at the right minute. I could not. Almost as if you are waiting
:27:35. > :27:40.for the new Stormers -- star wars movie, the suspense! How is the
:27:41. > :27:51.shooting going? It is going great, terrific directors, the actors are
:27:52. > :27:54.great. Brilliant script. Amazing. There is a lot of secrecy
:27:55. > :28:01.surrounding these films. What can you tell us about your character?
:28:02. > :28:10.I'm a man tour and also a criminal. -- mentor. What a world to be part
:28:11. > :28:13.of. Everyone these days get so excited about it. And for you guys
:28:14. > :28:18.to be in there actually creating these memories for young people. I
:28:19. > :28:22.guess that is why you do what you do. Absolutely. That is why I'm
:28:23. > :28:27.heading in there at six o'clock tomorrow, to create memories! Do you
:28:28. > :28:34.think about your legacy for the kids and things like that? You know, I
:28:35. > :28:40.guess. I think it is cool, a lot of the movies I did, the kids can't go
:28:41. > :28:45.to watch them so it is nice when they can. There's a lot of movies I
:28:46. > :28:52.wished I had done that my kids could have watched. But, you know. They
:28:53. > :28:57.have it, thank you so much for your company Noel.
:28:58. > :29:01.We're back tomorrow with Keith Lemon and Paddy McGuinness - who knows
