Hello when welcome to the One Show, with Alex Jones and Chris Evans. | :00:20. | :00:29. | |
And just look at the smile on his face. Congratulations! Thank you. | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
Obviously, my wife did some of the work. She is watching in hospital. | :00:34. | :00:39. | |
Good evening. Just to her right hand side, hopefully, as I left her, | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:50. | ||
little Eli, �7.13 ounces. And his big brother, Noah. There are other | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
Jubilee babies around, so send a photo of you to our usual address. | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
What a weekend we have ahead of us. Jubilee street parties across the | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
country, 1000 boats following the Queen up the Thames in a flotilla, | :01:03. | :01:08. | |
and on Monday, the concert to end concerts, Gary Barlow, Elton John, | :01:08. | :01:18. | |
:01:18. | :01:48. | ||
Paul McCartney to name a few, and The winners of Africa's got talent! | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
They are the African Children's Choir that Gary Barlow went and | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
found and put on his official Jubilee song. We are honoured that | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
they are using us to warm up for the big day on Monday. Tonight's | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
guests make a lovely couple. One of them is a world famous jockey who | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
is so friendly with the Queen that he once snubbed her in public just | :02:08. | :02:13. | |
to give J-Lo a peck on the cheek. The other is a self-confessed nerd | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
who has become Hollywood's Goto geek and star of Star Trek, Mission | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
Impossible, Shaun Of The Dead and many more. Please welcome Frankie | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:33. | ||
Dettori and Simon Pegg. Let's go to trouble first. Frankie, | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
good evening. Believe it or not, I was riding a race an hour-and-a- | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
half to deserve it is amazing that I made it here. How did you do? | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
very well. Let's move on. This week, there has been lots of talk about | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
you retiring. Set the record straight. For some reason, people | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
are picking on me because I am not raising in the Derby tomorrow. I am | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
racing tomorrow at Haydock. Unfortunately for the British | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
people, I did not have a horse for the Derby. But maybe next year. | :03:08. | :03:12. | |
how come Frankie Dettori does not get a horse for the Derby? Because | :03:12. | :03:16. | |
it is a classic and is his only for three-year-olds. Every year you get | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
a new crop of horses and the crop in my stable were not good enough | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
for the Derby. There are only nine runners this year in the Derby and | :03:25. | :03:31. | |
unfortunately I am left out. you are going to Paris. Yes, on | :03:31. | :03:38. | |
Sunday. I am working this Jubilee weekend. And so are you. Well, you | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
call it work, but we have three tickets to the best concert ever. | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
Simon, you have just finished working on Star Trek a month ago, | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
on a closed set, very secretive. Yes, we finished on the eighth of | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
May and then I did something else do, and then I came home on Sunday. | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
So I have been there for six months and now I am back in the lovely UK. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
I came home especially for the Queen. She is thrilled. She has | :04:06. | :04:14. | |
told us. We had a lovely picture of you in your Star Trek costume. The | :04:14. | :04:22. | |
I took that myself! There was on the first film. I have a better one | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
on my phone. I took that myself and I was worried they would arrest me. | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
It is very secretive. JJ Abrams is very strict about secrets not | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
leaking. Nobody knew what the uniform looked like. Luckily, that | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
was in 2009. Did you get a rap on the knuckles for that? No. I stole | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
my badge this time. It was more relaxed. There is a weekend of | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
Jubilee fun ahead. Tomorrow, the Queen is at the Derby. Frankie is | :04:56. | :05:04. | |
not. I am not going now. On Sunday, the river pageant, where she will | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
be in the Royal barge with 1000 boats on the Thames. And on Monday, | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
the huge concert, before Her Royal Highness lights the National Beacon. | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
On Tuesday, she will be at St Paul's Cathedral before heading | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
back to Buckingham Palace to watch the fly past. On Wednesday, she | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
will be absolutely knackered. You can watch every sparkle of the | :05:28. | :05:33. | |
Diamond Jubilee right here on the BBC. No doubt, one party favourites | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
will be weighing down every trestle table in the land for the duration | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
of the celebration. Jay has been searching for what makes the | :05:41. | :05:49. | |
perfect great British sandwich. While things like sandwiches have | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
been eaten since biblical times, it was not until the 18th century that | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
the British really took them to heart. It is said to have got its | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
name when the 4th Earl of Sandwich asked a servant to make him one of | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
these to get through a long gambling session. Others then asked | :06:04. | :06:10. | |
for the same, and the name stuck. On average, we spend �96 a year | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
each on packeted sandwiches. In total, the UK consumes 8 million | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
sandwiches each day. I am on a quest to find what makes a hit a | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
sandwich. Where better to come and hear in Worksop, which they say is | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
the biggest sandwich factory in the world. 160,000 square feet | :06:30. | :06:39. | |
dedicated to bread and fillings. The sliced bread is buttered by | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
machine and filled by hand. Yes, 83% of the gigantic output needs | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
good old-fashioned human effort. The most popular filling in the UK | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
is currently chicken and bacon, followed by old favourites like | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
bacon, lettuce and tomato and aid and cress. Brown bread is more | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
popular than white and accounts for 70% of the sandwiches made here. To | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
keep pace with the market, a constant stream of new sandwiches | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
had to be invented by the development team. How many | :07:09. | :07:12. | |
different kinds of sandwich have you come up with working in this | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
job? Possibly in the thousands. For every 10 that we do for a customer, | :07:19. | :07:24. | |
one or two might go forwards. One Show has challenged me to come | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
up with a sandwich so good that the factory will put it into production. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
The first stop for inspiration is the public. What is the weirdest | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
thing you have ever had in a sandwich? I don't know. Cat food. | :07:38. | :07:46. | |
Up in a sandwich? Yes, but it was not very nice. Jam and cheese. Out | :07:46. | :07:55. | |
of my dad's garden. Pork scratchings. In a sandwich? Sliced | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
chocolate bars with cream cheese. Not convinced that any of those is | :07:59. | :08:05. | |
a winner, I have my own ideas. Smoked mackerel, horseradish sauce, | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
a killer sandwich. Creamed horseradish with mustard. But the | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
kind of sandwich I would make at home does not cut the mustard as a | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
commercial product. My tendency to overfill would increase the cost | :08:18. | :08:27. | |
and would slice deep into profits. I think that is a work of genius, | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
personally. It is OK. There is too much sauce. It takes away from the | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
mackerel, which is the hero ingredient. It needs some colour. | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
Because if it does not look nice... They will not buy it. He put Dexit | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
by creaming the filling and boosting the colour with spinach. - | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
- he perfects it. And now my sandwich is destined for the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
production line. It is a limited run of 100 but it is still a proud | :08:55. | :09:04. | |
moment. Time to get to work. I am on the production line. Our task is | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
to distribute the mackerel filling evenly and fast. This is getting | :09:09. | :09:17. | |
away from me. Have they speeded up? It has, hasn't it? This thing is | :09:18. | :09:25. | |
moving past me and it feels like it is going backwards. You are looking | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
at the belt, not the product. looking at the belt, not the | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
product, she tells me. Like that? Yes. And there it is, in all its | :09:35. | :09:42. | |
glory. These prototypes and judges will be served to staff here later. | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
-- these prototype Standbridge us. I think my Sandridge could sell | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
millions, but after a day of making them, I could not face another one | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
for lunch. That is a first, him not being able | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
to eat a sandwich. He was just asking what we are doing next and I | :10:01. | :10:07. | |
have no idea! This looks nice. Smoked mackerel and horseradish. | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
Before anybody accuses me of having stolen the idea, I did stealer of a | :10:12. | :10:21. | |
chef called Jeremy Lee, who did a sandwich with smoked eel. They are | :10:22. | :10:29. | |
not commercially available. We have got some here. Yes and the choir | :10:29. | :10:36. | |
have also got some. Have a bite and tell us what you think. Be kind! | :10:36. | :10:46. | |
truthful. Thumbs-up, thumbs down It is a bit better than Eurovision. | :10:46. | :10:54. | |
You like it? It is all right. It is my finest work. It is Jubilee | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
weekend. The supermarkets have been rolling out the marketing machine, | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
which means basically putting a ham and cheese sandwich in a box with a | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Union Jack on it. We have gone in search of some of the more exciting | :11:07. | :11:11. | |
Jubilee sandwiches. Simon, we have Tesco's roast beef and Yorkshire | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
pudding wrapper. What about offering him a plate? It is falling | :11:18. | :11:23. | |
apart. Prince Charles is waiting to come on with a film about his | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
mother. Prince Charles is on this channel at 8pm with a film about | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:39. | ||
his mum. He is the BBC's newest Oh, no! I have always wanted to do | :11:39. | :11:49. | |
:11:49. | :11:52. | ||
that on live TV. I will not be able to eat that because I will not be | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
able to get on a horse. These are genuinely available. There is a | :11:57. | :12:03. | |
smoked salmon with a Bucks Fizz mayonnaise sandwich. Bucks Fizz | :12:03. | :12:11. | |
mayonnaise?! Yes, ridiculous ideas. Chris, you have got coronation | :12:11. | :12:18. | |
chicken. Don't you love for the coronation chicken? What does the | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
Queen eat? There is a former chef who says that what she eats are jam | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
pennie is. They are the shape of the old English penny and they are | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
cut out in little circles, because that is what you can get people to | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
do when you are the Queen. There is not much carbohydrate in their. You | :12:39. | :12:49. | |
:12:49. | :12:50. | ||
can just stare at it. I will try one. Frankie, how careful do you | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
have to be? You have to be a certain weight every day, so we | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
tried to avoid carbohydrates. We train every day. Like everybody | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
else, everybody looks after their figure, they try to eat healthy. | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
Avoid junk food. What is the biggest culprit? Processed food, | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
right? Absolutely. All of this stuff, basically. This kind of | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
bread turns into sugar on your tongue. We are sorry about that. | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
Jay, you have a search for the perfect British burger. We found | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
someone online who believes he has reconstructed the In-N-Out Burger | :13:39. | :13:48. | |
relish. Because we love you so much, we have recreated a the burger. | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
rest Tron is very famous in America, and Simon spends a lot of time | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
there. -- the In-N-Out Burger. can have it in a protein style, | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
where they just wrap it in letters without the bread. What are we | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
looking for in the British burger? No! No! | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
We are on the hunt for the nation's best home-made barbecue burger. We | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
are interested in everything, the burger, the Toppings, amazing | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
relish, or a barbecue technique the likes of which we have never seen. | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Whatever it is, if using yours could be the best in the UK, we | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
want to hear from you. -- if you think. To enter, send us an e-mail. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
The closing date is 9pm on Wednesday night, 6th June. You need | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
to send details of the recipe and a photo of you and your burgers. Good | :14:45. | :14:55. | |
:14:55. | :14:55. | ||
You could read emus, it would be three minutes long! Simon has | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
played a few technology buffs, but here is a bit of 1920s gadgetry | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
that he may be interested in. While we put that on his wrist, this is | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
how it works. With summer finally on its way, it | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
is the perfect time to get out into the garden and... Excuse me, it is | :15:14. | :15:21. | |
my agent. Pro-celebrity golf? Me? Not busy! Don't worry, I will find | :15:21. | :15:30. | |
it, cheers. Car, golf clubs, sat nav, 0,! Hang on a minute, I know | :15:30. | :15:36. | |
just the man. You are the gadget man. I need to get to this pro- | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
celebrity golf tournament, have you got anything to help me? I have got | :15:40. | :15:48. | |
just the thing, it is a risk route indicator from the 1920s. Each | :15:48. | :15:53. | |
route is in a scroll inserted into the watch. There you are, London, | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
Charing Cross, you keep moving, and to arrive at Blackheath, where I | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
believe you are playing. It also doubles as a scorer for golf. The | :16:03. | :16:08. | |
same thing, you end said this into the watch. It is quite fiddly, you | :16:08. | :16:13. | |
have a score chart. What kind of person would have worn his inner | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
1920s? I would have thought somebody middle or upper-class, | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
those who played golf, who could afford the fees. Like Bertie | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
Wooster, a man of leisure. Absolutely, a man like yourself. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
you're going to do something, you might as well do it properly, so I | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
have got my route indicator and I think it is time to take me to the | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
golf course. Nearly 1.5 million sat navs was sold in the UK last year. | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
Only a handful of these were ever made. I had better not break it! | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
Can you believe there was an automatic version made around the | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
same time? It was connected to the speed, to control the rate that the | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
map scrolled. OK, from Charing Cross, we need to get onto the A | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
two. Yes, follow the sign, that is good. If this is right, this should | :17:09. | :17:15. | |
take us all the way to Blackheath. Panic over, I have arrived? Where | :17:15. | :17:25. | |
:17:25. | :17:26. | ||
do I need to go? You are down that It is not exactly what I had in | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
mind, but it is just nice to be involved. Brucie, is this one of | :17:31. | :17:38. | |
yours? How many more times?! Thank you very much, what you think? You | :17:38. | :17:42. | |
have had a little play. He is good, it is like a sat nav without the | :17:42. | :17:52. | |
:17:52. | :17:53. | ||
Sat. Or any navigation, really! have to go in a straight line. | :17:53. | :18:00. | |
is good, it is ingenious and fun. It twists, God bless the old people. | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
How about this, how about human beings that did not exist | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
yesterday? How about those? Jubilee babies! This is Jonathan and Elijah | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
from Brighton. How cute! Annabel was bought at 8 o'clock this | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
morning at home. This is from Emma, I do not know if this little thing | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
has been named yet for what, but this is a new human! The mother is | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
Emma McCormack, congratulations. are big fans, send us more. We are | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
loving the Jubilee babies. Simon, shall we talk about Star Trek? | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
cannot really say anything about Star Trek. It will be the shortest | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
interview in the world! If you cannot say anything about Star Trek, | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
what about A Fantastic Fear Of Everything? That is what I am here | :18:51. | :18:56. | |
to talk about! They said, have a look at is there, I do not think it | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
is representative. It is great, but it does not tell you much. I am | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
sorry, this is a non-smoking restaurant, thank you. Are you | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
ready to order, Madam? To you know what you are having? I think I will | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
just have a beer. This is my treat, darling. Well then, I will have the | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
chicory salad with asparagus croutons and a poached egg. To | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
start. Followed by the salmon fishcakes with mushy peas, chips | :19:26. | :19:33. | |
and chive cream, thank you. I have not seen the film, but it is a good | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
clip, I am enjoying it! It was just me ordering food! Your character is | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
not normal, and he appears pretty normal there. That is as normal as | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
you see him in the entire film. thought this one was better, have a | :19:49. | :19:59. | |
:19:59. | :20:25. | ||
All right, OK. On behalf of everyone who has not seen the film, | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
Frankie, myself, most of Great Britain, what is it about?! It is | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
about a writer called Jack who is beset by all these awful paranoias | :20:36. | :20:41. | |
and fears. He gets the chance to meet a Hollywood executive, but it | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
necessitates in going to the launderette because his clothes are | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
dirty, but his greatest the on earth is the lawn that. And it is a | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
wonderfully mad film, directed by Crispin Mills, the son of Hayley | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
Mills, grandson of John Mills, part of the fabric of British cinema. It | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
was an enormously fund a film to make. It is brilliant, but I did | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
notice that you must have a very small wardrobe budget. I'm glad | :21:07. | :21:14. | |
that is what you said! Yeah, I knew you go to talk about my pants, that | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
makes me nervous. You have got a very small wardrobe as well! | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
Absolutely nothing. I spent most of my time in a pair of slightly | :21:22. | :21:27. | |
grubby Y-fronts and a mustard cashmere jumper. Which is a delight, | :21:27. | :21:32. | |
we could all sit here in our pants, it is a lovely thing. I am up for | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
it if you are! That is what you want to do when you are at home, | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
and that is what I did for a large part of the film. To be honest, I | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
do not want to sit in my pants at home. I'm not wearing any, that is | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
why. I have got to get my figure back after having that baby! | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
film is out on the 8th June. Yes, and I'm very excited about it, it | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
is a little different to anything I have done before, but it is a route, | :21:59. | :22:03. | |
to say the least. Underwear, sitting at home in your underwear, | :22:03. | :22:07. | |
Hot Fuzz, you have got a follow. are going to do another film in | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
that series, we did Shaun Of The Dead, Hot Fuzz, and were going to | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
do The World's End. Edgar Wright and I wanted to make a thematic | :22:16. | :22:21. | |
trilogy, so they are kind of sequels in a way, and it will tie | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
the three together as a delightful box-set that Tucano in five years. | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
That is QVC! Time now for another in our series of films where you | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
can look at what it can be like to be a charge of the rich and famous. | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
You would have thought that the son of Diana Dors, she was so famous, | :22:38. | :22:42. | |
would have had an idyllic child growing up in Berkshire, and he did | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
:22:52. | :22:57. | ||
My mother was Diana Dors, she was a movie star, a British icon. She was | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
only 21 when she had a Rolls-Royce, she would spare no expense on | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
lavish decorations. This is one of the few things have got left from | :23:05. | :23:15. | |
:23:15. | :23:16. | ||
When I was young, my mother used to tell me a story about when she was | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
eight years old, how she used to close her eyes and wish that she | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
had a cream telephone, a big mansion and a swimming pool. | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
Eventually, she got that, so I used to do the same thing when I was | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
eight years old, I used to close my eyes, but I had everything, a | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
swimming pool, go-karts, motorbikes. What I wanted was to live next to | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
the sea, I used to close my eyes and picked myself living next to | :23:40. | :23:45. | |
the state, and I guess I got what I wanted. Dark and stormy it is, a | :23:45. | :23:54. | |
bit like Maya life in a way. -- my life. My father was Adam Lake, who | :23:54. | :24:00. | |
was an actor, a very theatrical man, he used to like a drink, and we | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
still have lots of guests coming round to used to like drinks, | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
Richard Harris, Oliver Reed. We would see them under morning, still | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
up from the night before. Jason, come here, fancy a drink? My mother | :24:13. | :24:22. | |
would say, Jason, time for school! I was exposed to a lot of things at | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
a very young age, but I never felt anything except pure low from both | :24:27. | :24:34. | |
my parents. -- love. My first appearance on television was on a | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
show called Who's Baby, and my first acting role was in Just | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
William when I was seven. Later on, I sang live on the Russell Harty | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
:24:52. | :24:57. | ||
I can see my parents as they were, because of all these films and | :24:57. | :25:01. | |
television programmes that they made, and I find a lot of | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
similarities in myself when I am looking at them, their body | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
language, the way they present themselves. My dad's | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
mischievousness and my mother's care for, methodical softness. For | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
me, growing up was very normal to have photographers and television | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
cameras and parties and all these wild things going on all the time, | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
I thought that was what everybody did, right? Clearly, it was not the | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
way, as I found out later. Diana Dors was buried this afternoon. She | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
died in hospital last week after a long battle against cancer. When I | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
was 14, my mother died. I didn't know she was ill at all until the | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
last week of her life. The little church was filled with her friends, | :25:46. | :25:52. | |
not just those from showbusiness... My father just wasted away. He lost | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
loads of weight, he became like a mask of his former self, and then | :25:56. | :26:05. | |
he finally shot himself in my And if he had not done that, I | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
think he would have died of a broken heart anyway. For ages, I | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
wondered why he did it in my bedroom, but suddenly it dawned on | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
me that was where the gun was kept. Why you would keep a repeating | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
shotgun in a 14 year-old's bedroom, God knows, but that was just | :26:23. | :26:30. | |
ordered manner all-over, really. I was in shock. It went beyond tears. | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
It was a completely numb experience, and I went to live with my half- | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
brother, Kerry, in America, so I went from living in a mansion in | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
Sunningdale to a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles. So it was | :26:43. | :26:50. | |
a bit of an eye opener for me. The house was sold, the taxman took his | :26:50. | :27:00. | |
:27:00. | :27:01. | ||
cut, and the rest of the money just I mean, my life has been quite a | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
roller-coaster. It has been full of ups and downs, joy and pain, a bit | :27:06. | :27:09. | |
like when I wrote a song called roller-coaster blues, it has been | :27:09. | :27:19. | |
:27:19. | :27:21. | ||
What can you do? Onwards and upwards is the only way. Frankie, | :27:21. | :27:26. | |
tell us about your dad, he was very instrumental in your career, but I | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
did not know this, a lot of it was to do with when your sister left | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
home. My parents were divorced, and my mother did not live very far | :27:33. | :27:39. | |
away, but we were brought up by my father and my stepmother. You know, | :27:39. | :27:47. | |
obviously, I was a small child, it affected my sister more than me | :27:47. | :27:56. | |
them home from school. My father was afraid that I would follow suit | :27:56. | :28:01. | |
and basically picked me up from school with a great horse box, he | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
took me to a field with three beautiful ponies there and asked me | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
which one I wanted to have. Obviously, I picked the best | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
looking one, a palomino pony, and my career really started there, out | :28:15. | :28:19. | |
of an accident, with my sister running away from home. My father, | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
to reward me, brought a pony and my love for also start. That first | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
pony nearly put your off being a jockey, didn't it? Ponies are very | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
clever, they take advantage of a young kid, and when I was nine | :28:37. | :28:45. | |
years old, my pony went underneath this metal railing, it broke and I | :28:45. | :28:50. | |
landed on my chest. I didn't have much protection, so it put the off | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
for two years, I did not ride again for two years, I was afraid of it, | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
and then the love of horses came back and the love of race writing, | :29:00. | :29:10. | |
so it is funny how your life can What about your mum, who is here | :29:10. | :29:19. | |
this evening? Is she a big influence on your career? | :29:19. | :29:24. | |
Absolutely. When I was growing up, she was into amateur dramatics. | :29:24. | :29:30. | |
Look at her, she is lovely, isn't she? I spent a lot of time hanging | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
around the theatre and theatrical people, which engendered my | :29:34. | :29:38. | |
interest in acting and totally fired my ambition to do what I do | :29:38. | :29:48. | |
:29:48. | :29:48. | ||
today. It is all thanks to that lovely lady over there. Did you | :29:48. | :29:55. | |
have a cast him in a production? Absolutely. He is pretty good. | :29:55. | :30:02. | |
was the first thing he was part of? Music man, I think. He played one | :30:02. | :30:08. | |
of the snow children. That was carousel. Just checking. Your dad | :30:08. | :30:16. | |
is still in showbiz. He plays in a band, plays the keyboards and is a | :30:16. | :30:22. | |
brilliant jazz-blues musician. has the talent rub off on his son? | :30:22. | :30:28. | |
He tried to teach me the piano and I was too lazy. Well, let's see | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
about that. What we have here is a classic piece of Castillo equipment. | :30:34. | :30:39. | |
We understand you were a big fan of this at the time and you can play | :30:39. | :30:49. | |
the hook from Axel F. In 1983, yes! You have four minutes to try to | :30:49. | :30:56. | |
remember! In the meantime, Carrie Grant explores the long-forgotten | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
the calculator and keyboard. The 1980s, the decade when | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
everything was big, their hair, the shoulder pads, and of course, the | :31:05. | :31:10. | |
mobile phones. But some good things actually came in tiny packages, and | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
one of them, a long-forgotten musical instrument, seemed to | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
herald a revolution. This is it. It is small, portable, and if you | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
believe what the advert said, you had a band in the palm of your hand. | :31:24. | :31:33. | |
And what a band it was! And to cap it all, if you needed to do your | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
maths homework, you also had a built-in calculator. Now that is | :31:38. | :31:42. | |
rock and roll! This cute little thing has been played on many | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
records, including one that was a hit across the world and got to | :31:46. | :31:52. | |
number two in the UK. So how bigger breakthrough was the little | :31:52. | :31:58. | |
instrument that featured? Dr James from the University of Leeds is an | :31:58. | :32:04. | |
expert on music technology. It has five different sounds. This, panic, | :32:04. | :32:13. | |
is a violin. -- apparently. It does not really sound like a violin. | :32:13. | :32:18. | |
requires a little imagination! it does the drums. Yes, a number of | :32:18. | :32:24. | |
different options for drums. You can change the tempo. And you can | :32:24. | :32:30. | |
programme the tune. Yes, you can record a little melody. And then | :32:30. | :32:36. | |
you can play it back. Why do you think they took off? You do not | :32:36. | :32:40. | |
need to know any music theory. You can just press the buttons and | :32:40. | :32:48. | |
something will happen. That has a certain appeal to it. Thousands of | :32:48. | :32:54. | |
bedroom musicians drooled over this thing. Especially here in Sheffield. | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
Pioneers of electronic music formed the Human League and then the 1980s | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
legend, Heaven 17. I'm reunited him with the object of his youthful | :33:05. | :33:13. | |
affections. -- I have reunited him. Genius. In the pound shop there are | :33:13. | :33:18. | |
rollers they can do this now. I used to have won and I loved it. It | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
was one of the first Japanese toys that came in. However, I never | :33:22. | :33:26. | |
found a valid use for it. We were trying to convince people that | :33:26. | :33:29. | |
electronic music was a tool for creating a new form of popular | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
music. We actually wanted it to sound good, as opposed to like a | :33:33. | :33:41. | |
gimmick. And the idea of it being a calculator is ridiculous. It is | :33:41. | :33:46. | |
made by Casio, so they had to put a calculator on it. If it was made by | :33:46. | :33:53. | |
Nokia, would it have a phone? is it for? In the Japanese | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
marketing meetings they probably went, maybe we can pull in all of | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
the home organ enthusiasts, people who just want to play music for fun | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
at home, and if we put a calculator on it we would get the schoolkids. | :34:04. | :34:08. | |
It is completely insane. Even at the time it was ridiculous but I | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
still bought one because it was beautiful. In fact, can I have it? | :34:13. | :34:17. | |
So, the revolution never quite happened and the machines were soon | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
collecting dust, unwanted and on the shelf. But what do the next | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
generation of music makers, students at a school in Sheffield, | :34:25. | :34:32. | |
think of it? It sounds like a doorbell. It sounds like a doorbell | :34:32. | :34:39. | |
but we are missing rhythm. This sounds are dated and weird sounding. | :34:39. | :34:45. | |
It does not mean it is not good. It is quite funky. And within a few | :34:45. | :34:55. | |
:34:55. | :34:57. | ||
minutes, they have learned how it could still be of use. Yeah! Very | :34:57. | :35:04. | |
good! I can see why people fell in love with this. It is small, cute | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
and in its day it was very clever, until you turned it on. It has been | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
great to see it after all these years but if I never have to hear | :35:12. | :35:18. | |
one of these again it will be too soon! | :35:18. | :35:22. | |
Before Simon picks up the challenge, can I welcome the north-west of | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
England. Welcome back to the north- west of England, who had opted out | :35:26. | :35:32. | |
regionally to follow the torch. They are now back with us. Hello. | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
How are you? The battery went on that earlier. I love it when the | :35:38. | :35:46. | |
batteries starts to go. It Wales. It is like a cry for help. You have | :35:46. | :35:56. | |
:35:56. | :36:10. | ||
That was OK. Have you ever had experience of this before? I have | :36:10. | :36:20. | |
:36:20. | :36:30. | ||
had millions. You have to guess the Did you get it? Very impressive. | :36:30. | :36:35. | |
man of many talents. Shall we talk about racing? It is the Epsom Derby | :36:35. | :36:43. | |
tomorrow. You have won it once. It took 15 years. Who is going to | :36:43. | :36:51. | |
win tomorrow? The favourite should definitely win. And Bonfire is my | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
tip to finish second. And it is the start of the Jubilee. The Queen | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
will be there, a massive occasion, 100,000 people. Come and watch. Not | :37:00. | :37:07. | |
me, because I am not there, but... Do you think Camelot can be beaten? | :37:07. | :37:17. | |
:37:17. | :37:18. | ||
No, I do not. The Derby as part of the British champion series? Yes. | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
Can you explain, because we could not understand it in the office | :37:22. | :37:29. | |
earlier? Tomorrow, the Derby as part of the Champions series. It is | :37:29. | :37:33. | |
35 races throughout the season. All of the best races, with the best | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
jockeys. The grand finale is at Ascot, middle of October. Basically, | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
it promotes the best horses and gives the chance to the public | :37:44. | :37:48. | |
because it is easy to follow and get in touch with a horse, for | :37:48. | :37:55. | |
example Camelot tomorrow. Just to give a wider picture to the | :37:55. | :38:04. | |
audience. And a jockey will become the champion. Yes. So it is a bit | :38:04. | :38:11. | |
like Formula One. Yes, last year I was second. I had five wins and | :38:11. | :38:17. | |
somebody else had six. So who is currently the Alonso? Tomorrow, it | :38:17. | :38:24. | |
is Camelot. In terms of the riders? We have just started. It is wide | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
open. We have until October to fight our way through. You have | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
told us you have no plans to retire. How many years have you got left? | :38:34. | :38:42. | |
Well, even Lester Piggott stopped and 56, but in this day and age, | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
the diet is good and the bodies are better than they were 50 years ago, | :38:46. | :38:51. | |
so you can go until 50 no problem. You do not have to work out so much | :38:51. | :38:58. | |
because you have five children. am the chauffeur, picking them up | :38:58. | :39:06. | |
from school. Your five kids came within six years. Can I say hello | :39:06. | :39:14. | |
to my children watching at home? I miss you. Five is enough? Are you | :39:14. | :39:21. | |
sure? Absolutely, definitely. You have got three yourself. I am not | :39:21. | :39:27. | |
finished, because I had my orders. Do you think it is up to me? | :39:27. | :39:35. | |
Frankie, can you explain to everybody? Simon, you have a | :39:35. | :39:44. | |
daughter. Yes, hello, Matilda. Speaking of babies, the photos are | :39:44. | :39:52. | |
coming in thick and fast. Shall we show them now? Have one each. | :39:52. | :40:02. | |
:40:02. | :40:09. | ||
are brand new human beings on the I have alliss. And I have Henry. | :40:09. | :40:13. | |
has got his arm up like that and it stays like that for a while. The | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
position in which they come out, they stay like that until they | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
realise that they can move. Also, Henry Thomas was the name of the | :40:21. | :40:31. | |
:40:31. | :40:40. | ||
This is Amy with her new baby cousin. She gave birth to her | :40:40. | :40:47. | |
cousin?! Send us some more and we will put them in before the end of | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
the show. The now, the African Children's Choir are a well- | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
travelled a bunch but this is their first trip to the UK. We hijacked | :40:55. | :41:01. | |
them, to show them something quintessentially British. | :41:01. | :41:11. | |
:41:11. | :41:14. | ||
# I just killed a man # Put a gun against his head | :41:14. | :41:22. | |
# Pulled the trigger, now he's dead # Life has just begun | :41:22. | :41:32. | |
:41:32. | :41:44. | ||
# And now I've gone and thrown it There was not the African choir, | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
clearly. By the way, I have to tell you that it took the gallery a | :41:49. | :41:58. | |
while to realise! That is our biggest show Oh! They are great, | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
this African choir. It is not what I imagine, I have to be honest. OK, | :42:03. | :42:13. | |
:42:13. | :42:15. | ||
Gary Barlow's jubilees song has fast become the rallying call for | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
this weekend's royal celebrations, not least because of the | :42:20. | :42:26. | |
performance of some very special singers. The African Children's | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
Choir hails from Uganda and Kenya and their incredible talent has | :42:30. | :42:40. | |
:42:40. | :42:41. | ||
given them the chance to travel the world performing. And now the 12 | :42:41. | :42:44. | |
Ugandan members are in London town to sing at the Queen's Jubilee | :42:44. | :42:54. | |
concert. London is a nice place. am lucky to do this. The UK as a | :42:54. | :42:57. | |
world famous musical pedigree, from Elgar to Elton John, but there is | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
one home-grown sound that these guys might not have heard before. | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
Only a few streets away from the pageantry and splendour of the | :43:05. | :43:08. | |
River Thames, if you listen carefully you can hear the sound of | :43:08. | :43:18. | |
:43:18. | :43:21. | ||
Male Welsh boys' choirs are not just found near the Severn Bridge. | :43:21. | :43:28. | |
-- Welsh voice. They can be heard at chapels like this one in London. | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
These amazing kids are not afraid of any musical challenge and could | :43:32. | :43:42. | |
:43:42. | :43:46. | ||
not help joining in. I would like to be a singer and a pilot and fly | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
to replace and sing. You have been practising, so are you ready to | :43:51. | :44:00. | |
:44:01. | :44:06. | ||
have a go in the chapel? Yes! a wonderful place. People are so | :44:06. | :44:13. | |
friendly. It was fantastic. They have so much energy and they learnt | :44:13. | :44:23. | |
:44:23. | :44:24. | ||
the words really well. I thought it was so beautiful to hear their | :44:24. | :44:34. | |
:44:34. | :44:47. | ||
The harmonies were so nice. I'd get a lot of joy, like I am so happy | :44:47. | :44:57. | |

have you here. Lydia, you were the soloists, how did you get the job? | :45:24. | :45:30. | |
What did you do for Gary when you first met him? When I first met him, | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
he was so interesting. I greeted him, then when they asked me to | :45:36. | :45:41. | |
first try it, I signed my best, and I was chosen. Everybody got to have | :45:41. | :45:49. | |
a go, what is your name? Joshua. Can you sing the opening line? | :45:49. | :45:58. | |
You'll have a go at this? # Some words they can't be spoken, | :45:58. | :46:02. | |
only son. So the competition was tough, | :46:02. | :46:12. | |
wasn't it?! What is your name? Julius. Give us your version. | :46:12. | :46:16. | |
# Are some words they can't be spoken, only son of. | :46:16. | :46:26. | |

the Diamond Jubilee is not the big gig this weekend, it is the final | :48:04. | :48:08. | |
of The Voice, and they are with us live now from the rehearsals. Good | :48:09. | :48:16. | |
evening! Good evening. Now then, a big night for you tomorrow night, | :48:16. | :48:19. | |
you have been very consistent throughout the competition, but can | :48:19. | :48:24. | |
you reveal if you are going to do another ballot tomorrow night? Will | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
Tom let you do something more up- tempo? I think I am doing something | :48:28. | :48:33. | |
a little bit different tomorrow, it is not just a ballot, so it is | :48:33. | :48:36. | |
going to be something a little bit different, show a different side to | :48:36. | :48:44. | |
me. Do you think that is risky, Tom? Risky? NEET? With a voice like | :48:44. | :48:50. | |
this, nothing is risky. Believe me! No. I completely agree with you. | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
She is going to do great, and we are going to do a duet which is up- | :48:54. | :49:02. | |
tempo, we are going to cover all the bases. Congratulations! Thank | :49:02. | :49:12. | |
:49:12. | :49:12. | ||
you. It is not unusual! Dani, are you there? Are you there? Shall | :49:12. | :49:20. | |
we...? We will go to will.i.am. Hello, guys. I saw you on Tuesday | :49:20. | :49:25. | |
night. I did tell you that you're my favourite. You said you were | :49:25. | :49:31. | |
doing a duet as well tomorrow night. How has the practising been going? | :49:31. | :49:37. | |
It is cool, I do not want to give away too much, but in true Black | :49:37. | :49:42. | |
Eyed Peas fashion, we will be taking it to new heights. Elevated! | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
Have you got every confidence in him? The thing he can win the | :49:46. | :49:53. | |
competition? -- do you think? believe in Tyler, I know that he is | :49:53. | :49:58. | |
the guy that the world needs, and because of what he stands for, his | :49:58. | :50:04. | |
ability, and a whole lot of people that can use in RNLI. OK, and even | :50:04. | :50:14. | |
though we wish him all the best, can you tell us about Jaz? Yes, I | :50:14. | :50:19. | |
worked with in two days ago, we started recording two days ago, and | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
right after this, I just want to keep working, I cannot wait to keep | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
working with everyone and make music, that is what I love doing, | :50:27. | :50:31. | |
and that is what they love doing. Good luck to you both for tomorrow | :50:31. | :50:41. | |
:50:41. | :50:43. | ||
night. Hi, Chris, how are you doing? Yesterday you said that the | :50:43. | :50:51. | |
The Voice is more about the soul, shall we remain the programme? | :50:51. | :50:59. | |
call it the soul? He go! No, you know, the reason I said that he is | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
that Bo is an incredible vocalist, she really sings from the heart, | :51:03. | :51:09. | |
and there are not a lot of women... A lot of women cannot really relate, | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
she has got a lot going on in her life, but she can still get up and | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
perform. A lot going on at home, with family, but to get up and | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
perform under those circumstances, to go to work, to mind their | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
children, she is a true inspiration, and that is why I think she will | :51:25. | :51:34. | |
win tomorrow night. Jessie Jay is there. There she is! Hello. A trick | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
question... Good evening. It says that you are going to pare down | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
your trademark look, is that true? I think I have, yeah, definitely | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
grown up a lot, and there are moments that I looked a bit too | :51:51. | :51:57. | |
cartoonish, but there is always room to grow and change and adapt. | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
Do you know what? We wish you all the best, good luck to all the | :52:02. | :52:10. | |
finalists, we cannot wait to see the final. Thank you very much. | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
Voice final starts tomorrow night at 7:20pm on BBC One. Have we got | :52:15. | :52:21. | |
time for some baby pictures? think we have. What about that? | :52:21. | :52:27. | |
That is little Joanna Wilson, a beautiful baby Lucy. This is a B | :52:27. | :52:34. | |
McAllister, born on the 1st June, very close to you. This is one for | :52:34. | :52:37. | |
those of you looking forward to flying off on your summer holidays | :52:37. | :52:40. | |
but not looking forward to the mad rush for the best seat on the plane. | :52:40. | :52:45. | |
It is terrible when you are in a rush. Marty Jopson has taken a more | :52:45. | :52:54. | |
scientific approach to boarding an Long queues are one our top airport | :52:54. | :53:00. | |
gripes, so how best to reduce the weight? Not least the want of | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
getting onto the plane. We all know what it is like, the gate opens and | :53:03. | :53:11. | |
there is a man to surge forward. You end up stuck in a queue. Jason, | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
an American astrophysicist, was so fed up with delays that he tried to | :53:14. | :53:20. | |
solve the problem. He came up with a clever plan that he claims will | :53:20. | :53:25. | |
speed everything up. So is he right? Has he stopped the great | :53:25. | :53:31. | |
boarding challenge? -- solved. We are going to pit his matted against | :53:31. | :53:36. | |
ways of boarding that we are more familiar with. We are commandeering | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
a mock-up blame at Cranfield University and at 60 volunteer | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
passengers ready to check in. We will time how long it takes them to | :53:44. | :53:49. | |
board using three different methods to see which is fastest. I will | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
observe proceedings alongside air transport management expert Richard. | :53:55. | :53:58. | |
Anything that makes the process quicker as a passenger has got to | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
be good news. First up, the block boarding method, used by many major | :54:02. | :54:09. | |
airlines. Ladies and gentlemen, the flight is now boarding. Passengers | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
board the planes in sections, back, middle and then frowned. Let's see | :54:14. | :54:22. | |
how it goes. That woman in the red there... She is going and using the | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
lock and no-one can get by. It is making me feel impatient just | :54:26. | :54:36. | |
:54:36. | :54:36. | ||
The last person takes their seat and the clock is stopped at five | :54:36. | :54:46. | |
:54:46. | :54:47. | ||
Next up, random boarding, the method used by no-frills airlines. | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
The passengers have no allocated seats and board on a first-come, | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
first-served basis. It is always a bit of a scrum, but will it be the | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
fastest? Immediately, everyone is piling in at the first seat. | :55:02. | :55:06. | |
first available seats and lockers. The theory is that the rush to sit | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
next to a low of one speeds things up. One reason why low-cost | :55:11. | :55:17. | |
airlines have adopted it. I like an aisle seat, are not fast by the | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
window. That is it, they are in. Random boarding comes in at five | :55:22. | :55:32. | |
minutes exactly, nearly one minute So what about the new method? | :55:32. | :55:37. | |
Cannot find a way to beat that? The first thing to do is give every | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
passenger a boarding number, and then we start by boarding them from | :55:42. | :55:50. | |
the back, window seats on one site, odd Rose. Then we start on the same | :55:50. | :55:57. | |
pattern with the middle, then the aisle. The theory is that by | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
boarding first odd then even number of rows, you give people space to | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
put their backs in a lockers, and by boarding first the window, then | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
the middle, then the aisle, people do not have to get up and then sits | :56:09. | :56:15. | |
down again when a new person comes along. It is more complicated. | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
Everyone has to be in the right order back at the date, but will it | :56:19. | :56:25. | |
be faster to board? Already we start to see people spreading out | :56:25. | :56:34. | |
into the plane, avoiding blockages. 1, 2, three people. Straight in. | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
That is it! That seemed much quicker. It did, it did seem | :56:38. | :56:46. | |
quicker. Did it do any better? How did we do? Four minutes and six | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
seconds. I am not surprised that a method was the quickest. It is the | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
most logical way of warding if you can get people to line up that way. | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
It is great in theory, but my concern is how it would work in a | :56:59. | :57:04. | |
real-life airport. At about one minute faster than random boarding | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
at two minutes faster than block, the results are impressive, but | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
will it be coming to a plane in the AU? We contacted major airlines | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
with our results, but none of them have plans to change to it any time | :57:16. | :57:22. | |
soon. I wish we could speed our film Up! Thank you so much, Martin. | :57:22. | :57:32. | |
