:00:21. > :00:51.I do not think we have ever had a better opener. That was live.
:00:52. > :00:55.Tonight we are joined by the man who has brought the hit film
:00:56. > :01:06.School Of Rock to the London stage - Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber!!
:01:07. > :01:14.What a talented bunch you have brought tonight. We have got three
:01:15. > :01:20.talented bunches and they play live every night, not recorded. They have
:01:21. > :01:26.blown our socks off, but if it was not for your wife, this may never
:01:27. > :01:30.have happened. She saw it to ten years ago with my kids and they
:01:31. > :01:39.loved the movie and she thought it would be great to produce in the
:01:40. > :01:46.theatre. She suggested I produced it and she went to Paramount in LA and
:01:47. > :01:51.she got the rights. She managed it. I will let you into a secret. The
:01:52. > :01:58.producer over there who let her have the right. She was the producer of
:01:59. > :02:04.Les Miserables. Why? She went with the flow and I got the rights and
:02:05. > :02:12.there were not so many songs in the movie as I thought, so I ended up
:02:13. > :02:16.doing the score. It gets you deep in your soul. The young band we have
:02:17. > :02:21.got in here tonight obviously enjoy rocking. We are listening to the
:02:22. > :02:28.theme tune again because it is so good. We would like to see footage
:02:29. > :02:33.of you guys rocking out at home. This is what we are looking for.
:02:34. > :02:41.This is Jack Black doing his thing in the movie. I love Jack Black. A
:02:42. > :02:47.bit of air guitar. Send your clip to our e-mail address or put it on our
:02:48. > :02:49.Facebook page and we will show you the best ones later on. I cannot
:02:50. > :02:54.We've all rocked out a little too much at a wedding disco
:02:55. > :03:07.Well, what is supposed to be the biggest day for any couple
:03:08. > :03:09.could for some turn out to be a lot pricier than expected
:03:10. > :03:20.There is doubt about it, weddings are big business. The average cost
:03:21. > :03:27.is now set to be around ?30,000. But do newlyweds risk being exploited
:03:28. > :03:33.and paying over the odds for their big day? As soon as you say the word
:03:34. > :03:41.wedding, do you feel that prices go up for venues? 100%, ridiculously
:03:42. > :03:45.so. Wedding venue hire was more expensive than event hire. Do not
:03:46. > :03:51.mention the word wedding, because as soon as they hear it, the price goes
:03:52. > :03:56.up. In fact, a wedding reception could set you back two thirds more
:03:57. > :04:03.than a party in the same venue on the same date. It is enough to give
:04:04. > :04:08.you cold feet. But not for Pete and Angie from Cornwall. They got
:04:09. > :04:13.engaged last month and this is the moment Pete got down on one knee to
:04:14. > :04:18.propose to Angie. They are determined to have the wedding of
:04:19. > :04:22.their dreams, but at what cost? We are not at that stage in our lives
:04:23. > :04:28.when we have got a lot of money. We did not realise how expensive a
:04:29. > :04:33.wedding would be. So, with their help, we are putting wedding venues
:04:34. > :04:38.across the UK to the test. First, and she asks for quotes for a
:04:39. > :04:44.no-frills wedding reception. There are 100 of us, a three course meal
:04:45. > :04:49.from 5pm onwards with a DJ. I have asked Peter to get quotes for a
:04:50. > :04:53.special birthday celebration. He is having 100 guests, a three course
:04:54. > :05:01.meal and a DJ. That includes room hire as well? As soon as venue
:05:02. > :05:09.managers hear the word wedding, it is different. It is 595 for the
:05:10. > :05:18.wedding and for the party it is 395, so quite a difference. That is ?1600
:05:19. > :05:23.difference. ?39 per head for a party and ?59 per head for a wedding
:05:24. > :05:28.reception. Of the dozen venues we contacted, all but one charged more
:05:29. > :05:33.for a wedding reception over a birthday party. One venue wanted
:05:34. > :05:38.double the money compared to a big party on the same date, an extra
:05:39. > :05:47.?5,450 on the bill for the wedding booking. Our business is effectively
:05:48. > :05:51.applying a secret wedding tax? Alex Butler is the event manager at
:05:52. > :05:56.Manchester's National wedding show. She insists any mark-up is
:05:57. > :06:03.justified. Is there a hidden tax when people say the W word?
:06:04. > :06:07.Absolutely not. These suppliers are dealing with couples who want the
:06:08. > :06:11.most perfect day of their lives. Some people might think they will be
:06:12. > :06:14.able to organise a wedding blindfolded, but when you get into
:06:15. > :06:21.the detail, there is so much to think about. The venue managers
:06:22. > :06:26.themselves say no matter how big or small, wedding receptions are always
:06:27. > :06:30.hard work. It is about the emotional support for a bride and groom that
:06:31. > :06:35.you do not need to get for a party celebration. People do not consider
:06:36. > :06:43.that a lot of people get married at 11am and we have to have the venue
:06:44. > :06:48.staffed from then on and all day. How can you stop your dream wedding
:06:49. > :06:53.reception becoming a financial burden? Kat Williams is editor of
:06:54. > :07:01.the magazine and blog Rock And Roll Bride. A lot of people I feature
:07:02. > :07:06.will go to a pub or hire a village hall or hire a field and put a tent
:07:07. > :07:12.in it. That brings the price down because you do not have those extra
:07:13. > :07:18.services. The wedding packages. You can avoid the packages, but you have
:07:19. > :07:24.to do everything yourself. Given our research found an average of mark-up
:07:25. > :07:28.of ?2195 for a wedding reception compared to a party, they be doing
:07:29. > :07:35.it yourself is a price worth paying. Pete and Angie are more keen on the
:07:36. > :07:40.party option and whatever they choose, it will be special. We want
:07:41. > :07:46.a big party with our friends and celebrate the fact we are committing
:07:47. > :07:52.the rest of our lives to each other. Never ever say the W word. Speaking
:07:53. > :07:56.of words, watchdog is back on our screens tomorrow night and they are
:07:57. > :08:03.taking up residence in the Piazza. They have got a lovely tent. Why all
:08:04. > :08:08.the crates? We start tomorrow night about a supermarket home delivery
:08:09. > :08:14.service. Nowadays because of the plastic bag charge, people do not
:08:15. > :08:20.have food delivered, in bags, but in crates. We have heard from customers
:08:21. > :08:22.from one supermarket who were so concerned about the state of the
:08:23. > :08:31.crates that they have been in touch with us. As in dirty? Yes, and we
:08:32. > :08:35.have gone undercover and the results are stomach turning. One expert told
:08:36. > :08:40.us it was like having your food delivered in the lid of a dustbin.
:08:41. > :08:45.We will tell you more tomorrow night and which supermarket we are talking
:08:46. > :08:51.about. I always go to the shops. Matt Baker is with the other match.
:08:52. > :08:57.And you say you have watchdog running through your body like a
:08:58. > :09:02.stick of rock. Yes and we are carrying on with Rogue Traders. Do
:09:03. > :09:11.you like the new place? This is quite something. What are you going
:09:12. > :09:20.to call it? It is the watch or. You are quick. Look at the watchdog
:09:21. > :09:25.family. And family is something that is important. I am very chuffed to
:09:26. > :09:30.have joined the team and I get to travel around the country and lead
:09:31. > :09:35.team watchdog, hundreds of families who volunteered across the UK to
:09:36. > :09:40.help us solve problems. This week we are looking at nuisance calls, and
:09:41. > :09:48.they are a nightmare. We help a family where they get a lot of them.
:09:49. > :09:51.They get 42 called in two weeks. One in 20 people will change their
:09:52. > :09:56.number because they are sick of nuisance calls and that is what we
:09:57. > :10:04.are looking at this week. If people want to join, they can still join us
:10:05. > :10:07.on the website. Get in contact. And as far as Rogue Traders are
:10:08. > :10:14.concerned? They should get in contact as well. We go into salesmen
:10:15. > :10:20.in a big way and we have got a good one tomorrow night, people who
:10:21. > :10:27.pressurise the elderly. This is the new look watchdog, next door to us.
:10:28. > :10:32.This will be weekly. Yes, it is. And there is heating and everything in
:10:33. > :10:37.here. It starts tomorrow at eight o'clock on BBC One.
:10:38. > :10:40.Just ten days until Team Rickshaw set off on their latest challenge.
:10:41. > :10:42.Last week, we introduced you to Andy and Ross.
:10:43. > :10:52.Tonight we're off to Bonnyrigg, just outside Edinburgh,
:10:53. > :11:04.You can donate ?5 by texting the word TEAM to 70405.
:11:05. > :11:06.Or to donate ?10 just text the word TEAM to 70410.
:11:07. > :11:10.will cost your donation, plus your standard network message
:11:11. > :11:13.charge and all of your donation will go to BBC Children in Need.
:11:14. > :11:16.You must be 16 or over and please ask the bill payer's permission.
:11:17. > :11:18.For more information and full terms and conditions,
:11:19. > :11:20.please go to bbc.co.uk/Pudsey, where you can also donate
:11:21. > :11:23.online if you want to give a different amount.
:11:24. > :11:26.The lines are open now, so pick up your phone, and start texting!
:11:27. > :11:31.Thanks to you who have donated already, it really is appreciated.
:11:32. > :11:49.Here is why your donations are so important.
:11:50. > :15:00.My name is on for the rickshaw challenge.
:15:01. > :15:04.When we first met Olivia she was quite quiet but since she's been
:15:05. > :15:11.involved she's become more confident. She's taken on more
:15:12. > :15:15.responsibility within the group. It's helped me, changed me, made me
:15:16. > :15:21.happy. She is a fantastic role model. She's
:15:22. > :15:24.never let her deafness hold her back and I think she will make us all
:15:25. > :15:44.proud. I want to prove that I can Olivia is very, very positive about
:15:45. > :15:47.the rickshaw challenge. Everyone taking part is equal. She's looking
:15:48. > :15:59.forward to spreading that awareness so I feel very proud.
:16:00. > :16:03.Olivia is so lovely and so wonderful. She's a lovely outlook.
:16:04. > :16:07.Her dad was there on the selection day and he was the only one that
:16:08. > :16:10.couldn't hear what she was saying but still all day long she signed
:16:11. > :16:13.everything so that dad would be part of the whole experience and know
:16:14. > :16:18.exactly what was happening. She did it in the photo shoot so her mum and
:16:19. > :16:22.dad could understand. It's far more detailed than what she is saying,
:16:23. > :16:26.it's incredible how she combines everything at once. We will get to
:16:27. > :16:31.know her more over the weeks I am sure. For those of you who loved the
:16:32. > :16:37.film School Of Rock which starred Jack Black as a teacher who tenners
:16:38. > :16:42.his pupils into a rock competition -- who enters his pupil into a rock
:16:43. > :16:46.competition, the good news is it's on stage. How faithful is your
:16:47. > :16:49.version to the film? We are very faithful, the one thing perhaps we
:16:50. > :16:53.have done is the film didn't do we go into the back stories of the
:16:54. > :16:58.children a bit. Really, it's about how music empowers kids. Empowers
:16:59. > :17:05.everybody, that's the stream message of the story, how music can change
:17:06. > :17:09.everybody's life for the better. It's a tale. We need to know a bit
:17:10. > :17:15.about the parents and why they feel repressed. It chimes with me. When I
:17:16. > :17:20.was at school, I was about nine years old, I was the school swot and
:17:21. > :17:25.I was academic and learning history and all of this. I kind of played
:17:26. > :17:29.the violin. One day I was supposed to play at the school concert and
:17:30. > :17:34.supposed to play the boring violin and I said, no. There was a piano, I
:17:35. > :17:37.said I am going to play some music about every master in the school. I
:17:38. > :17:42.never told this story really. Is that right? But I did. Suddenly the
:17:43. > :17:48.whole school, they were rock pieces and the school erupted. My life
:17:49. > :17:56.changed. I think that's why I kind of when I saw this movie thought
:17:57. > :18:00.that's what happened to me. Of course I started life School Of Rock
:18:01. > :18:04.is taking me right back to my childhood. Those early feelings.
:18:05. > :18:08.We saw at the beginning of the show, the children that you have got in
:18:09. > :18:12.this production are phenomenal. That's some of the cast because
:18:13. > :18:17.there are 39 members altogether. Three sets of children, yes. Now,
:18:18. > :18:20.how easy was it to cast these children, because they are the heart
:18:21. > :18:25.and soul of the show. They've a lot to do in it. We started in America
:18:26. > :18:30.because we opened on Broadway now for about a year. I got it all wrong
:18:31. > :18:33.I am afraid. I thought it was going to be more difficult to find kids in
:18:34. > :18:39.Britain than we did because rock is in the American DNA in a way and
:18:40. > :18:42.playing live is, or so I thought. But last summer when we started to
:18:43. > :18:45.audition we found the kids so much quicker that we brought the opening
:18:46. > :18:49.of the show forward from next April to two weeks' time. That quicker?
:18:50. > :18:54.Which was fantastic. We were kind of ready to go. You must be delighted
:18:55. > :19:00.because really at its heart, your foundation where you are trying to
:19:01. > :19:03.get as many children as possible playing musical instruments, this
:19:04. > :19:07.ties in. We have seen ludicrous Government cuts in the arts in
:19:08. > :19:14.schools and particularly in music. Music is central to the school
:19:15. > :19:18.curriculum. It's the most empowering force, it liberates schools. One
:19:19. > :19:21.school that inspired me is in Islington, it was a school in
:19:22. > :19:25.special needs, the head mistress decided they were going to make
:19:26. > :19:28.music a central part of the curriculum and very shortly after
:19:29. > :19:33.that, the basic idea is that the kids get a free violin when they
:19:34. > :19:37.arrive. Every child. Then learns music from that point onwards, not
:19:38. > :19:41.to turn them into musicians, but to turn them into complete people. In a
:19:42. > :19:45.school like that where I believe 46 different languages are spoken, it's
:19:46. > :19:49.extraordinary what it does. A few years later they got their first
:19:50. > :19:52.entry into Oxford, and my foundation is coat-tailing on the brilliant
:19:53. > :19:58.idea they had there. We are now involved with six schools t will be
:19:59. > :20:02.eight next year. 4,000 children are now receiving free music lessons.
:20:03. > :20:07.What I promise you is that every penny you spend on music and the
:20:08. > :20:10.arts comes back, if the Chancellor is listening, to the Government ten
:20:11. > :20:15.times over. I promise you. Fantastic.
:20:16. > :20:20.We have to say quickly a big congratulations on 30 years of
:20:21. > :20:24.Phantom of the Opera. Yes, the old boy goes!
:20:25. > :20:28.But, amazing. 30 years. I tell you what, here is to 30 years of the
:20:29. > :20:35.School Of Rock, as well. Thank you very much. That is currently on at
:20:36. > :20:38.the New London Theatre. And a little treat, the cast will be performing a
:20:39. > :20:41.number from the show at the end of the programme.
:20:42. > :20:44.The subject of our next film should be just up your street, Andrew.
:20:45. > :20:47.It's about the classical composer Mendelssohn.
:20:48. > :20:48.Queen Victoria called him the greatest musical
:20:49. > :21:00.But what did she know - she never even wrote a musical!
:21:01. > :21:06.Well, you never know, do you! He is the fella behind the song that
:21:07. > :21:13.millions around the world have walked down the aisle to.
:21:14. > :21:18.Felix Mendelssohn was one of the most respected composers of the
:21:19. > :21:21.romantic era but in 1829 this German composer found inspiration for one
:21:22. > :21:29.of his best-loved pieces of music somewhere rather unexpected.
:21:30. > :21:35.At the age of just 20, Mendelssohn was already hailed as a musical
:21:36. > :21:42.prodigy and decided to embark on a grand European Tour beginning here
:21:43. > :21:46.in Edinburgh. Steven carpenter has closely studied Mendelssohn's
:21:47. > :21:50.journey. So, why Scotland? Mendelssohn's parents had read all
:21:51. > :21:54.the novels of Sir Walter Scott in English and the whole of Europe was
:21:55. > :21:58.overtaken by Scott-mania at this time. They wanted to send their son
:21:59. > :22:03.to Scotland to soak up the atmosphere. What do we know about
:22:04. > :22:09.his trip? We know a huge amount, actually. Because Mendelssohn as
:22:10. > :22:13.well as his musical talents was an accomplished artist and he sketched
:22:14. > :22:21.everywhere he went. You can recreate exactly the route that he took.
:22:22. > :22:26.There is a sketch here we have actually of the Edinburgh skyline.
:22:27. > :22:32.You can see Edinburgh Castle. Giles cathedral. But it was his trip here
:22:33. > :22:37.to the ruined Abbey of the Palace of Holyrood which first got
:22:38. > :22:43.Mendelssohn's musical cogs wearing. On his last night in Edinburgh
:22:44. > :22:46.Mendelssohn came here to Holyrood Abbey.
:22:47. > :22:52.And he famously wrote in a letter home that, I believe I found in that
:22:53. > :22:57.old ruined chapel the beginning of my Scottish symphony.
:22:58. > :23:01.So it is feasible that he wrote the opening bars actually here? More
:23:02. > :23:04.than feasible, absolutely probable that he did. How do you think the
:23:05. > :23:08.atmosphere of this place affected him? I think it wasn't just the
:23:09. > :23:15.chapel here, but it was the Palace next door which was the home of Mary
:23:16. > :23:20.Queen of Scots where Mary lived and loved as he put it. I think he found
:23:21. > :23:24.her a tragic figure and a lot of that is recreated, not just in the
:23:25. > :23:30.opening but a lot of the rest of the Scottish Symphony. Mendelssohn would
:23:31. > :23:34.take another 13 years to finish his owed to Scotland, symphony number
:23:35. > :23:38.three in A minor. By the time he had done he had written a masterpiece,
:23:39. > :23:43.each carrying clues of a different part of his journey.
:23:44. > :23:45.When I first came across this symphony I wasn't convinced it's
:23:46. > :23:50.that Scottish, is it? I think probably one of the main moments in
:23:51. > :24:02.the symphony that you really can feel a Scottishness is the beginning
:24:03. > :24:15.of the second movement. MUSIC There is a feeling played on a
:24:16. > :24:20.black note of the piano or the sound bagpipes make. He wrote home to say
:24:21. > :24:24.that he was listening to drunken songs of servants in the room below
:24:25. > :24:28.where he was staying, so he was certainly exposed to local culture.
:24:29. > :24:35.That's given me an idea. What if we were to take his melody and
:24:36. > :24:42.reimagine it in a mar traditional Scottish style? I found a group
:24:43. > :24:46.ready for the challenge. The Edinburgh Highland Reelland
:24:47. > :24:49.society is the oldest of its kind in Scotland and they've arranged
:24:50. > :24:52.Mendelssohn's music especially for the One Show to perform at the top
:24:53. > :25:06.of the iconic Carlton Hill. Who knows what Mel den son would
:25:07. > :25:11.have thought of today's performance but it captured the essence of a
:25:12. > :25:20.journey he swore he would never forget as long as he lived.
:25:21. > :25:24.I think if he could hear our tribute today he would fall in love with the
:25:25. > :25:27.city all over again. Well, from classical now we are
:25:28. > :25:32.going to go rock again. In a moment we will enjoy a firmance
:25:33. > :25:37.from Andrew's new show and lots of you at home have been inspired by
:25:38. > :25:41.what you saw earlier. We asked and this is what we have seen. This is
:25:42. > :25:46.10-year-old Moses from Cheltenham rocking out!
:25:47. > :25:53.And we have got Josh here from Hampshire playing a bit of air
:25:54. > :25:59.guitar there. Andrew, thank you so much for joining us this evening.
:26:00. > :26:04.Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber everybody! Good luck with the School Of Rock.
:26:05. > :26:09.We have a packed show tomorrow - Esther Rantzen, Sir Chris Hoy,
:26:10. > :26:11.and, gracing our sofa for the very first time,
:26:12. > :26:13.Plus, a performance from Rebecca Ferguson.
:26:14. > :26:16.That's it for tonight, playing us out with Teacher's Pet
:26:17. > :26:25.is the amazing cast of The School of Rock!
:26:26. > :26:28.We are the School of Rock and this song was written by our lead
:26:29. > :26:38.# Don't take too much to memorise your lies.
:26:39. > :26:44.# And then that magic man, he came to town.
