:00:26. > :00:30.Hello. We're back from our Holidays, live in The One Show studio. We do
:00:30. > :00:34.hope that you have enjoyed watching some of the best of The One Show
:00:34. > :00:44.over the past few weeks. We are on a bit early tonight, for one night
:00:44. > :00:45.
:00:45. > :00:50.only, with a special extended show. Later on, Dom Littlewood will be
:00:50. > :00:53.helping to build an amazing construction. We will be meeting
:00:53. > :01:03.couples who have made the brave decision to raise their own
:01:03. > :01:09.
:01:09. > :01:14.grandchildren. And our guest tonight, it is Michael Crawford!
:01:14. > :01:22.Lovely to see you, Michael. Thanks for coming in for this extended
:01:22. > :01:27.show. You have got Monday's off, haven't you? Yes, I did, until
:01:27. > :01:36.Friday night, then I heard what I would be coming in for this.
:01:36. > :01:41.you have every Monday off? Yes. What do you do? I cook beef. It is
:01:41. > :01:50.my one day where I cook. I will do it when I get home tonight. So you
:01:50. > :01:57.do your Sunday lunch on a Monday. What cut to you go for? I have got
:01:57. > :02:07.a terrible name for it, but it is called four something. Four seasons.
:02:07. > :02:16.
:02:16. > :02:22.Forelock or something, but it is very, very tender. Forerib! It is
:02:22. > :02:26.going to be a long programme! first, over the weekend, without
:02:26. > :02:36.realising it, thousands of people took part in a giant, secret
:02:36. > :02:38.
:02:38. > :02:42.experiment in one of Britain's Our parks in great cities like
:02:42. > :02:48.Manchester, Glasgow and London are the envy of the world. They lift
:02:48. > :02:52.the spirits and refresh the mind. Here in Hyde Park, celebrities are
:02:52. > :03:01.rubbing shoulders with picnicking families. Meanwhile, billionaires
:03:01. > :03:06.spend a fortune to look out over the green space. So, why do we
:03:07. > :03:09.treat this and other public spaces like a dustbin? Across the country,
:03:09. > :03:17.more than 2 million pieces of rubbish are dropped every single
:03:17. > :03:23.day. One study found that 37% of us think it is OK to drop litter if
:03:23. > :03:29.there are no bins or ashtrays around. Do any of you drop litter?
:03:29. > :03:37.Never, I hate it, it makes me really angry. How do you feel?
:03:37. > :03:45.Upset, annoyed. Do you ever drop litter? I've always drop my chewing
:03:45. > :03:50.gum. Do you think that is a bit wrong? It is, but everyone does it.
:03:50. > :03:58.In the war against the litter, this man is on the front line, he's one
:03:58. > :04:04.of about 20 contractors cleaning up the mess. What kind of things do
:04:04. > :04:13.you see? Some people just come in, literally just walk away and leave
:04:13. > :04:23.the whole lot. Amazing. What do you think they're thinking? They're
:04:23. > :04:26.
:04:26. > :04:31.just too lazy to take it. Cigarette butts, that's tricky... But surely
:04:31. > :04:37.our taxes hand responsibility over to The Royal Parks to provide that
:04:37. > :04:40.service. I do not see it that way. Actually, individuals have
:04:40. > :04:48.responsibility to clean up after themselves. How big a problem is
:04:48. > :04:53.it? It is a major problem, given the tough situation faced by
:04:53. > :04:57.government agencies at the moment. In Hyde Park alone, we spend more
:04:57. > :05:05.than �300,000 a year. If we were not spending it on that, we could
:05:05. > :05:09.spend it on more flowers and other activities in the parks. They're
:05:09. > :05:16.going to be trying to show people the consequences of all of this
:05:16. > :05:21.letter. And I am going to be helping them out. We're sectioning
:05:21. > :05:26.off a huge area in the north-east of the park. The idea is that this
:05:26. > :05:32.area remains unclaimed for the two days of the weekend. A perfect
:05:32. > :05:36.summer weekend is coming, and this area will be packed - so, how will
:05:36. > :05:43.people react to the mess? I will be back, to see how much rubbish they
:05:43. > :05:48.leave behind them. Watch this space. Well, we will be getting the
:05:48. > :05:53.results of that a bit later on. But first of all, give us an idea of
:05:53. > :05:59.the purpose of this. It is an experiment to see just how much
:05:59. > :06:03.litter would build up. Of course, we did not know what would happen.
:06:03. > :06:08.We thought that it would just build up, and more people would be
:06:08. > :06:11.tempted to leave their litter. That was the pessimistic view. On the
:06:12. > :06:21.other hand, people might do the right thing, they might see the
:06:22. > :06:22.
:06:22. > :06:25.litter and pick it up. We had no idea. It was an experiment. As an
:06:25. > :06:31.upstanding member of the community, Matt has told people to pick
:06:31. > :06:37.rubbish up before now. Honestly, I cannot bear it. What about you,
:06:37. > :06:42.Michael? I'm not sure I would do that. I only used to weigh about
:06:42. > :06:47.seven stone, so you don't tell anybody what to do. But I did make
:06:47. > :06:54.sure my children were very diligent about litter and being tidy. And I
:06:54. > :06:58.have created a monster in my eldest daughter, who now, the other day,
:06:58. > :07:03.chased somebody down the street in their car because there dog had
:07:03. > :07:07.made a mess in the street, and she just put her hand on the hooter and
:07:07. > :07:16.said, I'm not taking my hand off this until you go back and claim it
:07:16. > :07:25.up. I can no longer go to Fulham. We are going to have the results of
:07:25. > :07:30.this in a minute. Were you surprised? I was, it was striking.
:07:30. > :07:36.Today, a nurse has been appearing in court relating to the deaths at
:07:36. > :07:39.Stepping Hill hospital. The issue only came to light after another
:07:40. > :07:42.nurse reported concerns about blood-sugar levels. Deciding to
:07:42. > :07:48.blow the whistle is not a straightforward decision for
:07:48. > :07:53.medical staff. Those who do so could be ignored or ostracised. But
:07:53. > :08:03.all of that might be about to change. This report now from Lucy
:08:03. > :08:07.What would you do if you saw this at work? Would you have the courage
:08:07. > :08:11.to stand up and speak out? It is very rare when there is a scandal
:08:11. > :08:15.like this where only one person knows what is going wrong. It
:08:15. > :08:24.raises the question, why don't more British carers blow the whistle
:08:24. > :08:30.when they witness such activities at work? This doctor put a 25-year
:08:30. > :08:33.career on the line to expose serious failings in Haringey.
:08:33. > :08:38.workload was very heavy, and we felt that children were being put
:08:38. > :08:43.at risk. Once I had gone to the health authority, the trust were
:08:43. > :08:47.informed that there was going to be an investigation into my concerns.
:08:47. > :08:52.Essentially after that, I was kept at a distance by my senior
:08:52. > :08:57.management within the hospital. And then, when I went public, it was as
:08:57. > :09:02.if I was tolerated but they didn't really want to have a discussion
:09:02. > :09:08.with me. Her fears came true in August 2007, more than a year after
:09:08. > :09:12.she decided to raise her concerns. Signs of physical abuse were missed
:09:12. > :09:18.in the case of Baby Peter, who was treated at the clinic just days
:09:18. > :09:23.before he died. It was six years ago when this nurse went undercover
:09:23. > :09:33.for Panorama to expose appalling conditions at Royal Sussex County
:09:33. > :09:39.
:09:40. > :09:44.There was blood splattered over the curtains. Everywhere was untidy on
:09:44. > :09:48.the ward. There was an awful smell. Some of the patients were actually
:09:48. > :09:52.crying out in pain. I decided that I needed to get the evidence of
:09:52. > :09:59.what was going on, because I don't think anybody would have believed
:09:59. > :10:03.it. I think people are afraid to report their concerns for fear of
:10:03. > :10:08.reprisals or may be not being believed. Rather than rewarding
:10:08. > :10:12.Margaret for exposing bad practice, she was struck off by the nursing
:10:12. > :10:17.and midwifery Council, and then sacked. What upset me more than
:10:17. > :10:21.anything was that the nurses and the carers who were on the film,
:10:21. > :10:26.who abused their patients, they're still carrying on working. And yet
:10:26. > :10:31.me, who tried to do something about it, suddenly could not work any
:10:31. > :10:35.more. After a national outcry, she finally got her nursing
:10:35. > :10:39.registration pack. The hospital has now produced new guidelines to
:10:39. > :10:43.address the basic care issues. Currently, the Public Interest
:10:43. > :10:49.disclosure Act gives limited protection to whistleblowers who
:10:49. > :10:53.fear being sacked and passed over for promotion. But now, one group
:10:53. > :10:57.of MPs wants to take things further third stop they want whistle-
:10:57. > :11:00.blowing to become the norm, rather than the exception. The idea is
:11:00. > :11:04.that if you work in a care environment and you know things are
:11:04. > :11:08.going wrong, but you do not draw attention to it, then you could be
:11:08. > :11:15.punished for keeping quiet. These recommendations could not have come
:11:15. > :11:21.quick enough for this lady. She set up a campaign group after her
:11:21. > :11:27.mother died in Stafford hospital in 2007. Poor care conditions at the
:11:27. > :11:30.hospital are said to have caused hundreds of avoidable deaths.
:11:30. > :11:35.There was just a total lack of basic care. People were not being
:11:35. > :11:40.fed, they were not being given fluids. They were not being washed,
:11:40. > :11:43.they were just basically left to their own devices. The inquiry into
:11:43. > :11:49.Stafford hospital has heard allegations of how medical staff
:11:49. > :11:55.who tried to warn about fatal failings were silenced by managers.
:11:55. > :11:59.I don't know why nobody spoke out. What we do know is that the system
:11:59. > :12:05.persecutes them, so that could be one reason why. If people have
:12:05. > :12:08.concerns, they need to come forward and speak out. But to do that, they
:12:08. > :12:12.need to feel safe, and that's where the Government needs to do
:12:12. > :12:16.something. The General Medical Council supports the new proposals
:12:17. > :12:22.and says his is committed to doing more in this area. There is a
:12:22. > :12:26.recognition that good medical practice is accepted by doctors,
:12:26. > :12:30.most doctors are aware of it, but it needs to be embedded more, it
:12:30. > :12:37.needs to be something that doctors live and breathe, but there's still
:12:37. > :12:40.some way to go to create real openness throughout the NHS. After
:12:40. > :12:46.four years on enforced leave, this doctor is going back to work this
:12:46. > :12:50.week. Within the Health Service, we need a culture which is supportive
:12:50. > :12:55.and encourages us to speak out, so that we are not fearful that there
:12:55. > :12:59.will be some kind of backlash. are joined by Dr Phil Hammond, who
:12:59. > :13:02.has written extensively about this subject. Lots of people watching
:13:02. > :13:08.will think it is ludicrous that whistleblowers are being treated
:13:08. > :13:12.like this - why do you think that is? It is partly the feel of the
:13:12. > :13:16.hospitals, they have to hit targets, they have to balance the books,
:13:16. > :13:20.sometimes that agenda gets in the way of patients. My dream is that
:13:20. > :13:25.whenever you go into hospital, there is a sign saying, please
:13:25. > :13:29.speak up if you have any concern. Anybody can take it to a member of
:13:29. > :13:33.management. Because healthcare is unique in that it damages a lot of
:13:33. > :13:37.people as well as helping them. About one in 10 people are harmed
:13:37. > :13:42.going into hospital. The only way be can reduce that is if everybody
:13:42. > :13:45.is working in the same direction. So, if you're in hospital and they
:13:45. > :13:50.try to give you the little blue pills instead of the long white
:13:50. > :13:54.ones, you can say, excuse me, I normally have the other ones. Some
:13:54. > :14:00.of them are getting it right. Those are the ones with the managers
:14:00. > :14:04.going into the wards, taking an interest in the front line. In
:14:04. > :14:08.others, they're more concerned with balancing the books, and the
:14:08. > :14:13.political agenda, and those are the ones that need to be called to
:14:13. > :14:23.account. There is going to be a House of Commons inquiry into this
:14:23. > :14:25.
:14:25. > :14:31.- what do you hope will come out of Well there is going to be, but
:14:31. > :14:35.there needs to a -- to be another part of the jigsaw, to look at the
:14:35. > :14:38.management. In the cases that I have followed
:14:38. > :14:45.there were senior doctors and nurses, the real people that we
:14:45. > :14:50.need in the NHS to make it better, who have sookifiesed their careers,
:14:50. > :14:53.hundreds of thousands has been spent keeping -- keeping them quiet.
:14:53. > :15:02.If there is anyone out there, patients, families, that are
:15:02. > :15:07.concern fpld -- concerned. What is the best practise? If it is really
:15:07. > :15:12.serious go to the regulator, the care quality mission and the
:15:12. > :15:18.Patient Association, come to my show at Edinburgh, I am teaching
:15:18. > :15:24.people how to be whistle blors by wearing T-shirts, one that says
:15:24. > :15:30.doesn't touch me, the other saying please don't kill me today.
:15:30. > :15:36.Stkpw if you don't want to wear a T-shirt, we will put a link on our
:15:36. > :15:39.website. Now we are chatting about grandparents next. You are a
:15:39. > :15:46.grandparent Michael to five grandchildren? How old are they
:15:46. > :15:51.now? They are from nine to 13. That must be tiring? Yes, but it is
:15:51. > :15:54.so Mitch more an interesting age to be when they become of 13 and 14,
:15:54. > :16:00.you have conversations, you hear their feelings, they have an
:16:00. > :16:04.opinion about something. They read a lot which is very necessary, I
:16:04. > :16:10.think. Well for many grandparents in the
:16:10. > :16:14.UK that are not just grandparents, but acting as parents to their
:16:14. > :16:19.grandkids, as we have found out, taking on that responsibility is
:16:19. > :16:27.not always child's play. Eight-year-old Ellie and her
:16:27. > :16:33.grandparents, Georgia and Brian. It is a typical family screen, but
:16:33. > :16:40.Ellie will not be going home at the end of the day. Her mother had a
:16:40. > :16:46.severe drug problem, so had to admit she could not care for Ellie.
:16:46. > :16:49.Brian's health is not so good. It got to a stage where we went to
:16:49. > :16:56.social services and plead for help. We were crying at time.
:16:57. > :17:02.It was at a stage where she was still in bad tempers. Still not
:17:02. > :17:07.come plying and the money was running away with itself.
:17:07. > :17:14.The temptation is there to leave her. I resisted it though because I
:17:14. > :17:21.love her so much. Brian and Georgia were granted a
:17:21. > :17:26.resident's order. It made themelie's parents. Some are not so
:17:26. > :17:31.lucky. Although grandparents save the state the cost of care, they
:17:31. > :17:36.don't always get the help that foster parents do. They are
:17:36. > :17:42.desperate for respite and guidance. With your fiscal fitness being the
:17:43. > :17:48.way that it is, what it is like having a vibrant and lively eight-
:17:48. > :17:53.year-old around? Quite liely. tiring at times.
:17:53. > :17:58.Whether you know you have to take her to tennis, skating. All of
:17:58. > :18:03.these things you don't plan for in old age.
:18:03. > :18:08.Brian and Georgia are not alone. The charity Grandparents Plus
:18:08. > :18:12.estimate that there are about00,000 children in Britain raised by
:18:12. > :18:16.relatives. In many cases, the parental responsibility is met by
:18:16. > :18:20.the grandparents. If we get the funding, when we get
:18:20. > :18:24.it we can talk about where you can go. You may want to get your nails
:18:24. > :18:29.done. This is one of many volunteer
:18:29. > :18:33.support groups that are springing up, allowing grandparents and
:18:34. > :18:38.carers to come together to offer each other advice and support.
:18:38. > :18:43.I've been coming here for 15 years, but a lot of the time as a
:18:43. > :18:49.therapist. I know that the ladies are coming up now, they are like
:18:49. > :18:54.70s and taking on twins. If I didn't have Sanctuary to go to, I
:18:54. > :18:57.would feel lost and on me own if you know what I mean with no-one to
:18:57. > :19:02.turn to. I've been caring for my grandson
:19:02. > :19:07.and he is two. He is 15 this year. We are all pensioners. At our age
:19:07. > :19:12.we fell we have started all over again being a mum, basically.
:19:12. > :19:17.Grandparents who take on the financial burden of looking after
:19:17. > :19:22.their grandchildren say that they save the state a substantial amount
:19:22. > :19:27.of money in fostering and care costs and they need help in return
:19:27. > :19:33.with care costs, but is anything likely to change? If it does it
:19:33. > :19:40.comes at a cost. There are currently 25,000 grandparents over
:19:40. > :19:43.the age of 65 looking after their grandchildren. To pay the same to
:19:43. > :19:47.foster parents, the bill would be over �1 billion.
:19:47. > :19:50.A lot of grandparents are not getting practical support, legal
:19:50. > :19:56.advice, financial support. They are expected to pick up the pieces and
:19:56. > :19:59.get on with it. We would like to see more support available and all
:19:59. > :20:04.grandparents raising grandchildren entitled to a financial allowance.
:20:04. > :20:08.But grandparents are family, they are blood. Should it be the state's
:20:08. > :20:12.responsibility? It is a false economy not to provide support for
:20:12. > :20:15.the carers, otherwise children will end up in care. If they are not
:20:15. > :20:22.provided with support, then that will cost the state a lot more
:20:22. > :20:25.money. Go! For Brian and Georgia, it is an
:20:25. > :20:29.uphill struggle at a time in their life when they plan to be
:20:29. > :20:37.comfortable and content. The future is what is worrying me
:20:37. > :20:44.now, not the past. It is difficult as Ellie is intell jeent. She is
:20:44. > :20:48.going to go to university -- intelligent. She is going to go to
:20:48. > :20:52.university, but we have nothing to finances us. I don't want to let
:20:52. > :20:57.her down. I feel that the state should help in that situation. Not
:20:57. > :21:01.having to go in with a begging bowl or going to a charity as we are the
:21:01. > :21:05.forgotten few. Ellie is lucky girl to have
:21:05. > :21:08.grandparents like that there are links on the website about that
:21:08. > :21:14.issue too. Michael, you were telling us that
:21:14. > :21:18.your nan had a big part in your upbringing? I think if we are lucky
:21:18. > :21:22.enough to have great grandparents they always have impact on our
:21:22. > :21:27.lives. There is a wisdom that comes with it I have a children's charity
:21:27. > :21:32.that deals with some cases like that where the children are not
:21:32. > :21:37.able to have parents for one reason or another and the grandparents as
:21:37. > :21:40.they age they can't carry these children or lift them or help them
:21:41. > :21:46.up the stairs. So we supply equipment for them to help them out,
:21:46. > :21:50.but it is no answer is it? It is not a good situation.
:21:50. > :21:53.But love, they could not wish for more love.
:21:53. > :21:59.And speaking of grandchildren and grandparents you say that one of
:21:59. > :22:03.the reasons you took the role of the Wizard in the The Wizard of Oz
:22:03. > :22:09.at the Palladium is for your grandchildren? It was the main
:22:09. > :22:13.reason. I was on holiday for the first time. I had been living in
:22:13. > :22:20.New Zealand. The first time that we had been together was last year. We
:22:20. > :22:22.shared a vil war for ten days. They had never seen me work or doing
:22:23. > :22:27.anything. -- villa.
:22:27. > :22:34.I was doing somersault noose the pool, as the grandparents do! Of
:22:34. > :22:39.course, showing off! Saying how good I was, how clever I was. They
:22:39. > :22:45.were all wide-eyed at this. I felt enthused. I had not really wanted
:22:45. > :22:49.to work much again. Then suddenly the Wizard came up. I
:22:49. > :22:54.thought that this would be the perfect thing. The part is not too
:22:54. > :22:59.big, it is not too fiscal, but it is a wise man in the middle of all
:22:59. > :23:04.of this fun. But you have three roles though?
:23:05. > :23:10.do. I play an old man who is a guard. I designed this costume
:23:10. > :23:16.which I was allowed to do with a crutch that comes below my knees.
:23:16. > :23:21.It is funny. Nobody knows who the heck I am. That is a waste of time!
:23:21. > :23:27.Then I come on as the guard about two seconds later after the quick
:23:27. > :23:32.changes and then I come on as this tour guide that shows them around
:23:32. > :23:39.the Emerald City. That is a really wonderful, uplifting number and I
:23:39. > :23:46.start off as Professor Marvel at the beginning.
:23:46. > :23:52.Let's have a look at you as the Wizard in the Emrarald City.
:23:52. > :24:00.Here you are. -- Emerald City.
:24:00. > :24:04.# That's how we laugh the day away in the merry old land of Oz. #
:24:04. > :24:09.APPLAUSE. It's a great show. We loved it,
:24:09. > :24:13.didn't we? Really loved it! But, of course, a massive part of your
:24:13. > :24:18.career has been the Phantom of the Opera it came about by, I want to
:24:18. > :24:23.say pure coincidence, but tell us the story of you and the singing
:24:23. > :24:27.lessons? I had a wonderful singing teacher called Ian Adam who passed
:24:27. > :24:33.away a couple of years ago. He was the first singing teacher that I
:24:33. > :24:39.had at the age of 30 when I was going to do a musical called Billy.
:24:40. > :24:45.I went to him for 30 years. He, one day I'm there, he is teaching me to
:24:45. > :24:55.sing classically, rather than point numbers as I do in Wizard. So I am
:24:55. > :24:55.
:24:55. > :25:00.singing and I'm murdering it! And downstairs, unbeknownst to me
:25:00. > :25:05.Andrew Lloyd Webber has arrived with his then bride, Sarah
:25:05. > :25:13.brightman for her lesson. I have finished. The sweat is pouring off
:25:13. > :25:21.me. He closes the window, I leave and up comes Andrew, he is asking,
:25:21. > :25:26."Who was that singing now?" He was saying he was so sorry if it was
:25:26. > :25:32.upsetting him, that it was Micahel Crawford. That I was coming on very
:25:32. > :25:37.well. He said, "I think we may have found
:25:37. > :25:42.our Phantom" That is how I got the part. I think he was going to cast
:25:42. > :25:49.me as the stage door keeper, but then I had the good fortune for
:25:49. > :25:53.this part that changed my life. Indeed. Your musical career went on
:25:53. > :25:58.and on and you extended the run now? Yes, until February. We are
:25:58. > :26:03.doing very well. It is an amazing cast.
:26:03. > :26:08.An uplifting evening. You don't mind being upstaged by a
:26:08. > :26:14.dog? I don't! With this it is very
:26:14. > :26:19.different. Toto, apart from Dorothy, Danielle Hope, Toto is the star of
:26:19. > :26:24.the show. He gets more applause than any of us. I way thinking of
:26:25. > :26:29.growing two more legs! Well, it is definitely worth seeing. Now, in a
:26:29. > :26:34.field in Northumbria, the angel of the north is getting a huge,
:26:34. > :26:38.massive sister. She is an enormous culture, a naked
:26:38. > :26:42.female figure, that is nearing completion, set to become the
:26:42. > :26:48.largest replica of a female body in the world. To meet Britain's
:26:48. > :26:55.biggest woman we fent -- sent in a fine example of a human form, Dom,
:26:55. > :27:00.tell us about your new girlfriend? Hello, guys. You will not believe
:27:00. > :27:07.our luck. It was beautiful before, now the skies are pouring down. Now,
:27:07. > :27:13.I have met a lady or two in my time, but none like this one. This is a
:27:13. > :27:20.sculpture on an epic scale. She cost �2.5 million to make to get an
:27:20. > :27:27.idea of her proper portions, look at this. Behind my shoulder that is
:27:27. > :27:37.her nostrils, shoulders and lips and cheeks. She is taller than the
:27:37. > :27:40.
:27:40. > :27:48.Angel of the North herself. She is being called Nor th landia?
:27:48. > :27:53.What do you think of it? If you have better ideas call us or are
:27:53. > :28:00.write in to the website. Have you any thoughts of a name for
:28:00. > :28:10.this, Michael? I'm sure that I knew her? No! How can you think of a
:28:10. > :28:12.
:28:12. > :28:17.name. I thought Northumbelina! Big Bev!
:28:18. > :28:25.Now, gardening. In our latest visit to the home of Paddy Ashdown and
:28:25. > :28:30.his wife, Jane we have discovered that they don't just dis -- divide
:28:30. > :28:37.the duties, they divide the garden. This cottage garden has been the
:28:37. > :28:42.home to the Ashdown family for 40 years. Paddy and Jane have created
:28:42. > :28:52.a haven that is personal to them. We are married 50 years, would you
:28:52. > :28:56.
:28:56. > :29:00.believe it. We have gardened all of I have to say, you would need the
:29:00. > :29:04.United Nations peacekeeping troops to do anything to the delineation.
:29:04. > :29:13.I do the vegetables, she does the flowers. But there is no greater
:29:14. > :29:23.pleasure, it is a great comfort. The garden is full of variety. The
:29:23. > :29:27.pear tree saves on space and needs less pruning, up against the wall.
:29:27. > :29:33.And this is another significant wall. On that side is the original
:29:33. > :29:37.garden, and on this side, the other one. This is the post-leadership
:29:37. > :29:44.garden, which was developed after Paddy stood down from the
:29:44. > :29:53.leadership of the Lib Dems. This is your patch, that is herb patch,
:29:53. > :29:58.what is all that about? I have got to have somewhere where IXL.
:29:58. > :30:03.condescend to let her do the work. Excuse me, who does the digging?
:30:03. > :30:12.Whenever she needs help, ago and help her, it is perfectly Co
:30:12. > :30:19.operative. You didn't see, we have barbed-wire on top of there. Razor
:30:19. > :30:23.wire, I can imagine! As well as the extension to the garden, Paddy
:30:23. > :30:28.worked hard to get the stress of frontline politics out of his
:30:28. > :30:33.system. He spent three weeks building this. To be honest, I
:30:33. > :30:37.didn't know what to do. Everybody was surprised when I stood down,
:30:37. > :30:42.because I stood down because I thought I had done my best work. I
:30:42. > :30:49.wanted a real bit of hard labour to get politics out of my system. So I
:30:49. > :30:55.built this. This has got a good deal of my blood on it, but thank
:30:55. > :30:59.God, it is not cricket. The garden reflects their life. It has
:30:59. > :31:06.witnessed hundreds of family parties, as well as the highs and
:31:06. > :31:16.lows of a career in politics. British ambassador in Bosnia, when
:31:16. > :31:18.
:31:18. > :31:23.I left, he said, I will give you a Bosnian pear. So I stuck it in the
:31:23. > :31:30.ground, and it has gone totally mad. You have made so many mistakes with
:31:30. > :31:35.it. You never, ever do it like that. You tie it to the front. That tie
:31:35. > :31:39.is too tight. And also, vertical growth produces wood. You want to
:31:39. > :31:49.bring these arms down as far as possible. And then all of these
:31:49. > :31:51.
:31:51. > :31:55.will start producing fruit. This soil is wonderful, but it is helped
:31:55. > :32:05.by the fact that this garden was once farmland. The topsoil is so
:32:05. > :32:06.
:32:06. > :32:15.deep. What is all of this straight line lark? Look, you save space
:32:15. > :32:21.this way! Get off with you, stick to politics, mate. Why not have
:32:21. > :32:27.semi-circles? Then, what goes in between the circles? Other plants,
:32:27. > :32:37.you see, you have not touched your creative side. This is not creative,
:32:37. > :32:40.
:32:40. > :32:44.this is regimental. Now, sergeant- major! There are four reasons why I
:32:44. > :32:50.am sane. My wife is one of them, my music is another. The fact that I
:32:50. > :33:00.am busy is a third, and I have absolutely no doubt, my garden is
:33:00. > :33:02.
:33:02. > :33:07.the fourth. And probably not in Michael, you have got houses in the
:33:07. > :33:12.UK, Los Angeles, New Zealand, and we understand you get your garden
:33:12. > :33:19.in skills from your grandmother. It is amazing. And she was in her 90s
:33:19. > :33:25.there. She was 96, then, yes, and there was a swimming pool just here.
:33:25. > :33:31.I was determined to get a photo of her on that before she left us.
:33:32. > :33:39.was out there, she wouldn't hold back? Yes. And she was registered
:33:39. > :33:44.blind. It gave me a lot of ideas for comedy, actually. How were the
:33:44. > :33:54.lines, then? She followed the edge of the pool, and as long as I did
:33:54. > :33:57.
:33:57. > :34:04.not hear any splash, I knew she was fine. Earlier, we saw Justin in the
:34:04. > :34:11.middle of Hyde Park. It is a summer afternoon, boiling hot, and just
:34:11. > :34:16.afternoon, boiling hot, and just look at this. And on the grass,
:34:16. > :34:22.islands of litter had been left over from picnics. The One Show is
:34:23. > :34:27.going to do an autopsy on this pile of rubbish. Somebody has had a
:34:27. > :34:32.pizza, with a bit of curry. They have backed it up but just left it
:34:32. > :34:40.here, obviously in the expectation that somebody else will clean it
:34:40. > :34:47.away for them. We need to clean it up? This was from yesterday. This
:34:47. > :34:52.is your rubbish? Yes, we had it all in bags. The attitude of younger
:34:52. > :34:57.people today is appalling. We came back this morning and we were like,
:34:57. > :35:02.wow!, they must have had a strike or something. Excuse me, you just
:35:02. > :35:07.put some rubbish on there, I wonder why you thought it was OK to do
:35:07. > :35:12.that? It was a pile of rubbish. The two bits I put don't really make
:35:12. > :35:16.much of a difference. I have seen some incredible things, people
:35:16. > :35:24.booting rubbish all round the park, and we have got 14 hours left, so
:35:24. > :35:30.who knows what it will look like then? This is how Hyde Park looked
:35:30. > :35:34.at 6am this morning. What a mess. If you ever wondered what would
:35:34. > :35:44.happen if Britain's army of litter pickers stopped cleaning up after
:35:44. > :35:48.
:35:48. > :35:58.you, well, here's a taste. Stepping in to help the staff clean-up, Keep
:35:58. > :35:59.
:35:59. > :36:02.Britain Tidy. So, Phil, could this Britain Tidy. So, Phil, could this
:36:02. > :36:07.be anywhere in Britain? I think you would find something very similar
:36:07. > :36:12.in cities and towns around the country. We have a culture where a
:36:12. > :36:16.lot of people expect somebody else to do it for them. That personal
:36:16. > :36:22.responsibility is something we need to focus on. What would stop people
:36:23. > :36:27.doing this? A lot of people would be put off by fines, but we feel
:36:27. > :36:35.that education and information must be a big part of the solution.
:36:35. > :36:39.successful has this experiment been? Clearly it has demonstrated
:36:39. > :36:43.how quickly littered builds up, and we hope it will make people think
:36:43. > :36:47.about the implications of what they're doing. If they simply leave
:36:47. > :36:52.litter around the place, it costs a fortune for people to be paid to
:36:52. > :36:56.pick it up. It is much easier to take it home and recycle it there.
:36:56. > :37:01.It has taken more than 20 of us more than to hours to get this park
:37:01. > :37:05.looking pristine again. And remember, this is just one tiny
:37:05. > :37:12.corner of the park, and just two days' worth of rubbish. But the
:37:12. > :37:19.experiment is not over yet. This truckies going off to get weighed.
:37:19. > :37:24.Now, that's amazing, really. Let's get the result - how much rubbish
:37:24. > :37:30.was collected? That's the big question. You saw what we were
:37:30. > :37:36.doing. We sent that struck off, down to the rubbish centre, to be
:37:36. > :37:40.weighed. This is how much it weighed, with the truck. You can
:37:40. > :37:48.see the 109 bags of rubbish that we collected, and this is what it Wade,
:37:48. > :37:53.more than half a tonne of rubbish, in just two days. And we're talking
:37:53. > :38:01.about bits of paper here. Yes, wrapping from fast food, it weighs
:38:01. > :38:10.nothing. It is embarrassing. It is, what it says about us. But it is
:38:10. > :38:15.more than that, if you leave areas to degrade, to get dirty, like that,
:38:15. > :38:20.studies have shown that it leads to more anti-social behaviour and even
:38:20. > :38:27.higher levels of crime. So it is a serious issue for communities.
:38:27. > :38:37.it sticks around for a long time. Michael, we have a quiz for you.
:38:37. > :38:37.
:38:37. > :38:42.How long do you think a banana-skin would last for? Three months?
:38:42. > :38:51.more than that, two years. That's how long it takes to degrade. What
:38:51. > :38:58.about a cigarette butt? A year-and- a-half? Much more than that. Three
:38:58. > :39:05.years. 500 years, it takes, for a cigarette butt. And wait for this,
:39:05. > :39:10.chewing gum... A lifetime, 40 years... Much more than that.
:39:10. > :39:20.Apparently, and I find this hard to believe, it will take a million
:39:20. > :39:24.
:39:24. > :39:30.years to degrade. How does anyone I will be back, we will do a film
:39:30. > :39:36.about that. But in the meantime, go out and look at your area. Name and
:39:36. > :39:42.shame. Beaches, motorways, shopping centres, take a photograph, tell us
:39:42. > :39:46.about it. On Wednesday, we will be back on litter patrol, helping to
:39:46. > :39:49.clean up one of the messiest estates in the country. Dominic
:39:50. > :39:53.Littlewood is still up in Northumberland, on the site of the
:39:53. > :40:00.biggest female sculpture in the world. It has taken you to new
:40:00. > :40:04.heights. It certainly has. I'm up on a cherry picker, and guess what,
:40:04. > :40:12.I don't like heights. But I have come up here because it is exactly
:40:12. > :40:18.the same height as Northumberlandia herself. I have had an interesting
:40:18. > :40:22.day today. I took part in constructing her left breast, and I
:40:22. > :40:29.can say that I single-handedly helped make her bra size 40 tons
:40:29. > :40:37.bigger. How many blokes have got that on their CV? Joining me, Mark
:40:37. > :40:41.from the Banks Group - who is writing the cheques, and why?
:40:41. > :40:47.Northumberlandia is completely privately-funded by the Banks Group
:40:47. > :40:53.And by the landowners here. Give us an idea of what she will look like.
:40:53. > :40:56.She will be a beautiful female land form in the landscape. The lines on
:40:57. > :41:02.the earthworks will be footpaths, more than 16 kilometres of
:41:02. > :41:04.footpaths. There will be lots of wonderful terraces and waves in the
:41:05. > :41:11.land form, and there will be reflections of the surrounding
:41:11. > :41:16.lakes. The sculpture is a really talented local landscape artist.
:41:16. > :41:21.When she's finished, are you likely to get complaints that she's a bit
:41:21. > :41:25.raunchy? Any work of art creates lots of opinion, and we welcome
:41:25. > :41:29.those views. We have had lots of positive views. Some people don't
:41:29. > :41:34.like her, and we respect that. But most people think it will be
:41:34. > :41:37.wonderful to attract people to the north-east. We have asked our
:41:37. > :41:44.viewers for their suggestions, so we're going to go back to the
:41:44. > :41:54.studio now to find out what suggestions have been sent in...
:41:54. > :42:08.
:42:08. > :42:15.Here we go, then, the Northumber- lass. Large Marge. Big Bird. What A
:42:15. > :42:20.Waste Of Money. We have got some more questions for you now, Michael.
:42:20. > :42:26.We went out on the streets, and we think we came up with a perfect
:42:26. > :42:34.combination. Here they are. they have got a question for you.
:42:34. > :42:39.You just have to choose the question. I will go with the Line.
:42:39. > :42:46.I am a really cowardly lion. Did you ever get really scared doing
:42:46. > :42:51.some of those stunts for Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em? No, we were
:42:51. > :42:55.not as silly as we looked. We did rehearse, it was all stuff I had
:42:55. > :43:00.done as a child, really, and got into trouble for, and this where I
:43:00. > :43:08.was getting paid for it. It was perfect, roller-skating underneath
:43:08. > :43:13.a lorry. Also, I got a motorcycle courier, and I used to help write
:43:13. > :43:23.the stories, I used to feed in with things I love to do. We have got
:43:23. > :43:48.
:43:48. > :43:53.Argh! APPLAUSE. Oh, my word! Did you hurt yourself?
:43:54. > :43:59.No, not really. No. I had good padding on underneath that. I
:43:59. > :44:04.always wore gloves. If you see the series r again I was always wearing
:44:04. > :44:07.gloves when I did the stunts. That was my fear that you didn't hurt
:44:07. > :44:12.your hands, to save yourself with the grip.
:44:12. > :44:17.We have time for one more question. Dorothy? I believe there is no
:44:17. > :44:21.place like home, but what was it like sharing a house with John
:44:21. > :44:28.Lennon during the height of Beatlemania? It was extraordinary!
:44:28. > :44:38.I was making a film called How I Won The War with Richard Leicester
:44:38. > :44:39.
:44:39. > :44:44.who did all of the Beatles films. John and I, who was then married to
:44:44. > :44:53.Cynthia, the four of us stayed in this house. It was surreal. You
:44:53. > :45:00.knee he was a Beatle, so you were ails asking him, "Cup of tea, John
:45:00. > :45:09.qoductionqoduction I would annoy him greatly.
:45:09. > :45:12.--, "Cup of tea, John qogsqogs. --?".
:45:12. > :45:16.I would say that is coming on very well.
:45:16. > :45:21.Remarkable. It was extraordinary.
:45:21. > :45:28.Dorothy, your little dog will love this next film. It is time to kick
:45:28. > :45:35.off tor a week of animal drama. Day one and Miranda went to meet
:45:35. > :45:45.some very small spiky survivors. Things here never stop. The staff
:45:45. > :45:45.
:45:45. > :45:51.are on hand 24/7 to deal with new admissions and emergencis. The baby
:45:51. > :45:55.animals with bursting out all over. It is a lot of work. The centre has
:45:55. > :46:01.pioneered revolution air techniques in treating wildlife, but they
:46:01. > :46:09.always need a spare pair of hands, that is why I'm here. Most animals
:46:09. > :46:14.brought in are orphaned or injured but one animal promptly gave birth,
:46:14. > :46:17.a hedgehog. I'm allowed to look in, but we have to be quiet not to
:46:17. > :46:22.disturb her. When th when they born, this
:46:22. > :46:26.morning? Yes. But there is a problem. Hedgehogs
:46:26. > :46:28.are fickle mothers and she has abandoned one, but it's in the
:46:28. > :46:33.right place to stand a fighting chance.
:46:33. > :46:38.I have to ask the question, when they give birth, does it hurt?
:46:38. > :46:44.happens as they are born, the spines are covered up. So Assange
:46:44. > :46:49.soon as they are born, they dry out and the spines come through.
:46:49. > :46:54.If you had not found that little baby, how long would it have had
:46:54. > :46:58.before it died? It would have had about half an hour, or an hour. It
:46:58. > :47:04.would have been on its back legs, cold as anything.
:47:04. > :47:10.So, it is essential to look after them? Absolutely.
:47:10. > :47:17.In the wild this little one would not leave the nest until it is five
:47:17. > :47:21.or six weeks' old. It takes a lot of dedication to ensure that this
:47:21. > :47:24.little abandoned baby will survive. Go on, you have a go.
:47:24. > :47:30.I need to get this into his mouth first.
:47:30. > :47:36.That is frightening. When you pick up little baby mammals you expect
:47:36. > :47:39.them to be nice and warm. He is licking that. Look at that! That is
:47:39. > :47:45.enough for the moment. There we go.
:47:45. > :47:49.A couple of hours' old hedgehog. Really tiny, defenceless and a
:47:49. > :47:54.little bit cold, but a little fighter, I think. It is not only
:47:54. > :47:58.the hedgehog ward that is threatening to overflow, the
:47:58. > :48:05.hospital caters for every different wildlife animal in Britain. You
:48:05. > :48:11.don't get more different than Kasper, a rare white fox, brought
:48:11. > :48:17.in a few weeks ago close to death. I have never seen a white fox
:48:17. > :48:21.before? I never have, I had only heard of one before, it was in the
:48:21. > :48:26.newspapers, they shot it. Stuffed it. That is what happens if you are
:48:26. > :48:32.a white fox. His colouring is due to a genetic twist, and probably
:48:32. > :48:41.why he was abandoned. He is not albino. Sadly, he has lost the use
:48:41. > :48:46.of his back legs. We took him to a centre for animals they gave him an
:48:46. > :48:51.MRI scan. They could not find a damage to the spine, so they think
:48:51. > :48:58.it is bruising. So every day he gets pain killers, physiotherapy
:48:58. > :49:01.and a bath every day. He is grad ual -- so he is gradually getting
:49:01. > :49:06.better. In the wild his mother would help
:49:06. > :49:11.him with cleaning, so it is up to us to give him a bath.
:49:11. > :49:17.You have had babies? Yes. Shall I hold him.
:49:17. > :49:22.Yes, he knows you. He is a great personality.
:49:22. > :49:29.Isn't he? He has tonnes of fight. He is just a fox! Although he is
:49:29. > :49:35.likely to recover, being white Kasper is too white to predators,
:49:35. > :49:41.so he will stay at the centre. I can say to the nurses that they
:49:41. > :49:47.can get to know him. Unlike wildlife foxes who have a
:49:47. > :49:51.life expectancy of a couple of years, he could live up to 15 years
:49:51. > :49:56.in captivity. It is amazing, he is a wild animal
:49:56. > :50:02.and he is behaving like a puppy. I have melted completely. We will
:50:02. > :50:07.catch up with how he is doing later in the week. Tomorrow I meet
:50:07. > :50:12.smaller babies and find out how a heron got more than he bargained
:50:12. > :50:16.for. And there is more from Miranda and
:50:16. > :50:23.the Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital when we find out how they help that
:50:23. > :50:29.heron. They help him with haemorrhoid
:50:29. > :50:36.cream! You will like that, Michael! Here, we have an extreme slow
:50:36. > :50:45.motion camera that shoots footage at 1,000 rounds a second.
:50:45. > :50:51.Such a boy! It is great. We would like to see if our guests can show
:50:51. > :50:56.off with this, so, here is our very first celebrity slo-mo.
:50:56. > :51:02.There it is in slo-mo. Look at that! What do you reckon to
:51:02. > :51:06.that? It is looking amazing! Even the eyes, blinking in slo-mo. What
:51:06. > :51:12.do you think of that, Michael? a coward, I look.
:51:12. > :51:15.That tough bloke doing all of that motorbiking stuff. That is
:51:15. > :51:22.unbelievable! There will be more celebrity slo-mo with Justin
:51:22. > :51:25.Rowlatt tomorrow night. And with celebrity Justin Lee
:51:25. > :51:31.Collins tomorrow knight. Tomorrow we are back at the usual
:51:31. > :51:36.time of 7.00pm. As we said with Justin Lee Collins and, wait for it,
