:00:14. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to the One Show with rogue catcher Matt Allwright.
:00:18. > :00:32.have hot-footed it to Herefordshire to get ready
:00:33. > :00:34.for tomorrow's special show from the wonderful village of Weobley.
:00:35. > :00:37.We'll speak to Alex a bit later about how it's shaping up.
:00:38. > :00:41.Yes, we're in charge tonight, and are they going to be sad
:00:42. > :00:48.they missed tonight's guest, a bone-fide British film star!
:00:49. > :00:52.People are all a little wobbly, I am not going to live.
:00:53. > :00:55.And Weobley might be one of the only places he hasn't been to.
:00:56. > :00:57.He's run through the streets of Edinburgh.
:00:58. > :01:05.He's even traversed the deserts of Tattooine...
:01:06. > :01:15.MUSIC: "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop.
:01:16. > :01:27.All right? Wow! Thank you very much. Good, and today? 25 of my closest
:01:28. > :01:31.friends. We mentioned some of the many
:01:32. > :01:33.places you've been, and you're just back
:01:34. > :01:45.from a trip to Iraq for Unicef, But we need to clear up a rumour
:01:46. > :01:49.that has been doing the rounds, spread by a certain Mr Noel
:01:50. > :01:56.Gallagher. How do you say it? He claims that your first light sabre
:01:57. > :02:01.fight as Obi-Wan Kenobi was not with anyone from the dark side, it was
:02:02. > :02:06.with him, can you confirm this rumour? Yeah, it is true! I found
:02:07. > :02:14.out that I had got the part of Obi-Wan Kenobi and I went to a party
:02:15. > :02:23.at his house, down the road from me in Belsize park at the time. It was
:02:24. > :02:28.in the 1990s, so at eighth and next morning we were having a light sabre
:02:29. > :02:34.fight in his garden. Using what exactly? He had light sabres there.
:02:35. > :02:40.I didn't come with my own at that time! The noises and everything? He
:02:41. > :02:46.didn't go easy with me. I bet he puts up a pretty good fight. Lovely
:02:47. > :02:49.to have you with us. Great to have you with us.
:02:50. > :02:52.On an August night in 2011, cities across the UK experienced rioting
:02:53. > :02:55.and violence which escalated very quicky, some blamed social media.
:02:56. > :02:57.But that same social media also gave a voice
:02:58. > :03:01.to those who wanted to put things right.
:03:02. > :03:09.Anita has returned to catch up with those who were swept up in events.
:03:10. > :03:18.Five years ago, Britain was shattered by the worst riots in
:03:19. > :03:23.decades. For a few hours last night, and icky came to the streets of
:03:24. > :03:27.London... The rights broke out after 29-year-old Mark Duggan was shot and
:03:28. > :03:32.killed by police in Tottenham, north London. I live in East London, and
:03:33. > :03:35.the riots were happening on my doorstep, so the following morning I
:03:36. > :03:40.went to film a piece for the One Show the aftermath.
:03:41. > :03:43.I have lived in this area for eight years, and as soon as I saw that
:03:44. > :03:47.riots were taking place in Hackney, I had to come down to see what the
:03:48. > :03:52.situation was. But what I saw was a complete
:03:53. > :03:56.contrast to the madness of the night before, images like this became an
:03:57. > :04:00.icon of determination, people wanting to clean up their street and
:04:01. > :04:09.bring communities together. They were called the broom armies, and
:04:10. > :04:14.their mission was to clean up the mess. I am trying to track down the
:04:15. > :04:18.people who swept up the horrors of the looting. Many of those on the
:04:19. > :04:24.rampage were teenagers, but 116-year-old had a different idea. I
:04:25. > :04:27.was a bit shocked, but I headed to Twitter, which was quite popular for
:04:28. > :04:34.news, and I saw the hashtag which had started, and then me and a
:04:35. > :04:38.friend Patrick built this website to show people where they could turn up
:04:39. > :04:44.to help clean up the streets. That is amazing, so as a 16-year-old
:04:45. > :04:50.watching the news, you were driven to get involved? It was on the news,
:04:51. > :04:53.it was being portrayed as youths were starting the riots, setting
:04:54. > :04:59.fire to things, and I wanted to change how young people were viewed
:05:00. > :05:02.in that way. So you have got the story there, then you talk about
:05:03. > :05:07.what people can do to get involved. Did you get a sense that people
:05:08. > :05:12.wanted to get involved? So overnight the hashtag amassed nearly 100,000
:05:13. > :05:19.people following it, in Clapham 5000 people turned up with brooms and bin
:05:20. > :05:24.bags, people with bands collecting donations. Peckham saw some of the
:05:25. > :05:28.worst violence. Sally was working in her cafe that night. The first thing
:05:29. > :05:32.I knew was that my neighbours of the city came in and said, you might
:05:33. > :05:38.want to put your shutters down. There was something in the air, I
:05:39. > :05:46.cannot really explain it, but it was menacing. What did you say? There
:05:47. > :05:52.were military vehicles in my street, policemen in full riot gear, it had
:05:53. > :05:57.gone from perfectly normal, central city seemed to apocalypse. I was
:05:58. > :06:01.literally standing two yards from rioters hurling things, and they
:06:02. > :06:06.were hurling things at our shutters. Were they saying anything to you?
:06:07. > :06:12.They couldn't see me, I was in the dark behind the shutters, but they
:06:13. > :06:17.seemed quite feral to me. After the violence, crowds of cleaners took to
:06:18. > :06:20.the streets all over the country. Communities banded together to clean
:06:21. > :06:29.up their shattered neighbourhoods. And the uplifted broom became a
:06:30. > :06:33.symbol of solidarity. Five years on, we've brought together a broom army
:06:34. > :06:37.to mark the anniversary of the big clean-up. People like to band
:06:38. > :06:40.together and help each other at, and there was a much stronger sense of
:06:41. > :06:46.community in the area afterwards, and you could feel it. I saw someone
:06:47. > :06:54.on Twitter saying we should clean up. You were the actual person who
:06:55. > :06:58.came up with that hashtag. That is right, yeah. There was something
:06:59. > :07:05.about the hashtag which sparked something. It got picked up by
:07:06. > :07:12.people like Simon Pegg, and it went from there. After the riot, 4000
:07:13. > :07:15.people were posting their reaction, and most of them were saying how
:07:16. > :07:22.much they loved Peckham, or what it meant to them. Five years on, and he
:07:23. > :07:25.we are reminiscing about what happened in the aftermath of the
:07:26. > :07:31.riots. I think the legacy is exactly what everyone has been talking
:07:32. > :07:39.about, unity, solidarity, and above all community. All together now...
:07:40. > :07:42.Broom army! That is lovely, it is really
:07:43. > :07:49.difficult to imagine that was five years ago. It has gone so quickly.
:07:50. > :07:53.I'm glad to say Angellica is here, alongside Lianna, and we will find
:07:54. > :07:56.out about your story in a little while, but the broom army was one
:07:57. > :08:01.example of a story where we have seen social media start something
:08:02. > :08:05.small and grow and make a huge difference to peoples lives. The
:08:06. > :08:10.truth is, whether you love it or loathe it, social media is powerful
:08:11. > :08:13.and real. You might member two years ago the Ice Bucket Challenge, where
:08:14. > :08:19.friends and family would nominate you do have to freezing cold ice
:08:20. > :08:23.water poured over you, you would upload the video to social media and
:08:24. > :08:31.donate money to a motor neurone disease charity. One in six Britons
:08:32. > :08:40.took part in that, including Ewan. I did, yeah! And we raise ?5 million,
:08:41. > :08:43.a pot much bigger than that! Lots of people did it, and a lot of people
:08:44. > :08:47.thought it was just a stunt, a bit annoying, but the amazing news is
:08:48. > :08:50.that last week it was announced that the money raised from this online
:08:51. > :08:56.craze helped with a breakthrough for motor neurone disease. Scientists
:08:57. > :08:59.have discovered a gene which contributes to the kind of motor
:09:00. > :09:02.neurone disease which is passed down through families genetically, and it
:09:03. > :09:07.would be us a better understanding of the disease and could lead to new
:09:08. > :09:12.treatment possibilities. So this is like power people, really. The speed
:09:13. > :09:18.at which it happened as well, and now there is a press up challenge.
:09:19. > :09:21.Yes, 22 Pushup Challenge, US charity has called on people to film
:09:22. > :09:26.themselves doing press up to raise awareness of veterans suffering from
:09:27. > :09:34.mental illness, and it has come over here, 10,000 servicemen have been
:09:35. > :09:39.doing it. Dogs! And even dogs, yes. It is amazing how quickly it can
:09:40. > :09:43.turn around, and you are a perfect example of someone who started with
:09:44. > :09:47.something small and possibly cannot believe what you have done. We
:09:48. > :09:52.started last summer as a group of friends, we set out to raise ?1000
:09:53. > :09:56.and collect clothes and goods to take to Calais, and we started
:09:57. > :10:01.A-level hashtag and got on social media, and within a week we had
:10:02. > :10:06.?56,000, 7000 packages arriving a day in our storage. We thought we
:10:07. > :10:11.had to check they could receive these goods, we found there were no
:10:12. > :10:15.major charities there, so we hired a warehouse, got networks going, a
:10:16. > :10:20.volunteer programme, and it really grew from there. You have no idea,
:10:21. > :10:25.you have to manage the success of what you have done, but you are kind
:10:26. > :10:29.of responsible for making it work. None of us had any experience in the
:10:30. > :10:33.charity sector, we had no intentions of doing this, it was an accident,
:10:34. > :10:37.but a testament to the compassionate nature of the British public as
:10:38. > :10:43.well, because we found so many people saying, how can we help? We
:10:44. > :10:50.acted like a conduit, really. Best of luck with whatever happens next.
:10:51. > :10:54.Angellica, thanks for coming in. Ewan, you have just come back from
:10:55. > :10:59.visiting a refugee camp in Iraq, part of your role as a Unicef
:11:00. > :11:04.ambassador, tell as about Mirna. Mirna is a lovely bubbly little girl
:11:05. > :11:13.who fled with her family from a village near Mosul in northern Iraq
:11:14. > :11:16.two years ago. And when Isis took over the village, they had to leave
:11:17. > :11:20.with nothing, she left with 1200 other families from that village,
:11:21. > :11:30.and they fled to a town where we were staying, called Irbil. So money
:11:31. > :11:34.people were living in the streets, so many people were leaving their
:11:35. > :11:38.villages, there was no infrastructure, no clean water, no
:11:39. > :11:43.sanitation. And this village was allowed to use a half built shopping
:11:44. > :11:48.mall, and they live there for... It was a desperate place, but they live
:11:49. > :11:52.there for 18 months, and Unicef and other NGOs were really quick in
:11:53. > :11:55.moving around, finding out where people work, because people would
:11:56. > :11:59.suddenly appear, hundreds of people who had left their homes with
:12:00. > :12:05.Nottingham. They worked very hard to get them water, get them some form
:12:06. > :12:08.of sanitation, protection, ultimately help set up camps,
:12:09. > :12:10.refugee camps and displacement camps. We have got a little message
:12:11. > :12:23.from Mirna for you. TRANSLATION: I did not know him, but
:12:24. > :12:32.when I got to know him, I was very happy. When Ewan came here, we
:12:33. > :12:39.started to play and take pictures. And it was very, very nice. That is
:12:40. > :12:44.a big smile! She's a sweet out, she really is. It is the extraordinary
:12:45. > :12:49.thing, of course, we are sort of getting used to seeing images of
:12:50. > :12:53.camps and refugees, and we hear about them all the time, and then
:12:54. > :12:58.you go and see with your own eyes, and that is my job, as an ambassador
:12:59. > :13:02.for Unicef, but a face to all those statistics, and that little girl was
:13:03. > :13:09.going to school, now she is living in a camp. People in this company
:13:10. > :13:14.becoming more or less? You get a feeling for that? I think we are
:13:15. > :13:18.sympathetic in Britain, and we are caring. Politicians have used
:13:19. > :13:23.refugees as a means to play their games to their ends, and they are
:13:24. > :13:27.playing politics with people's lives, like that little girl. I went
:13:28. > :13:31.to see how they are living in that situation, and it is bleak, and they
:13:32. > :13:36.should be ashamed of themselves, the politicians who are using them as
:13:37. > :13:41.statistics in that way. There is a lot of bleakness, is it your job to
:13:42. > :13:48.go and try and inject a little bit of fun into it? You are a dad of
:13:49. > :13:52.four... Well, they... Give them some semblance of a childhood? I do not
:13:53. > :13:55.think it is my job to try and do that, but that is what ends up
:13:56. > :14:00.happening, because the children want to play and have fun, regardless of
:14:01. > :14:06.what situation they are in. And Unicef have these brilliant child
:14:07. > :14:10.friendly areas, or in some instances actual schools in refugee camps and
:14:11. > :14:17.displacement camps, and kids want to be kids, they just want to play. It
:14:18. > :14:21.was 45 degrees, and we saw, in one camp, four Big ten switch were child
:14:22. > :14:26.friendly spaces, and in one there was a level cartoon screen, in
:14:27. > :14:31.another one there was crafts, others were running around, and they talked
:14:32. > :14:35.about the children coming at nine in the morning, they would just appear.
:14:36. > :14:39.The camps are so enormous, you cannot imagine the scale of these
:14:40. > :14:43.camps. And the children arrive in the spaces, and they get to be kids
:14:44. > :14:48.during the day, they get to play and have fun. To put myself in your
:14:49. > :14:52.shoes, this extreme environment, you are going back to another extreme
:14:53. > :14:58.environment, your life in LA with your family, do you feel guilty? Do
:14:59. > :15:04.you feel that life is absurd? You are always remembering that their
:15:05. > :15:07.life is carrying on like that, and that is what spurs me to continue to
:15:08. > :15:12.want to do the best thing I can with Unicef. My life is my life, and I
:15:13. > :15:16.have a family, and I am lucky my children are safe and go to school,
:15:17. > :15:20.they are protected by me and my wife, but by going out with Unicef
:15:21. > :15:24.and doing these trips, I am reminded it is not the case for all the
:15:25. > :15:29.children in the world, and my job is to go and see children in situations
:15:30. > :15:33.like this, come back and talk about it, try and encourage people to keep
:15:34. > :15:37.supporting the work of Unicef. Because the work they do is release
:15:38. > :15:42.of the most important work in the I think. If you would like to find out
:15:43. > :15:47.more about the trip to Iraq and Unicef's work, go to their website
:15:48. > :15:51.for more information. It is only three days to go until the real
:15:52. > :15:57.Olympics. I cannot believe it has come around so quickly! We all know
:15:58. > :16:04.the names from Team GB, the big medal contenders, but there are
:16:05. > :16:07.plenty more hopefuls going out to try to win for Britain.
:16:08. > :16:11.And here are three of those hoping to perch on a podium in the next
:16:12. > :16:19.couple of weeks, all being given the big up by family and friends.
:16:20. > :16:28.I am Sharon, her mother, and I am her auntie.
:16:29. > :16:34.Asha did a different things everyday, her cousins would not run.
:16:35. > :16:44.They said she would beat them. We did not know. The race that made me
:16:45. > :16:50.most proud was her first senior race, she was on the line with the
:16:51. > :16:54.big names, she'd made that transition from a junior to senior.
:16:55. > :17:00.When she broke her leg, and she was at university, she worked very hard,
:17:01. > :17:06.we had to regroup and rethink. She still wanted to run. She knew she
:17:07. > :17:09.was coming back from that. She knew how important family was. At the end
:17:10. > :17:20.of the day, she knew she could not do it on her own. We encouraged her.
:17:21. > :17:29.We would get her to eat had food, to put strength in her body. We just
:17:30. > :17:41.need to get to Rio de Janiero, she thought. I'm telling you, that is
:17:42. > :17:47.for us. I have been here for 16 years. I've seen thousands of kids
:17:48. > :17:51.come through the door, this guy walked through, stocky, climbed up
:17:52. > :17:56.the stack of chairs, sat with his arms and legs crossed. You could
:17:57. > :18:03.tell he was going to be amazing. Everything I asked him to do, he
:18:04. > :18:12.could do. A handstand. He's one of the only gymnasts I know that has
:18:13. > :18:16.won every single group. His dad was always his rock, was always there.
:18:17. > :18:27.Before his dad passed away, he wanted him to get to the Olympics
:18:28. > :18:30.and he promised he would do that. He had a freak accident, he snapped
:18:31. > :18:33.both the bones in the bottom of his legs. To come back to that and
:18:34. > :18:41.compete in the Olympics is unheard of. He promised he would get to the
:18:42. > :18:48.Olympics to his dad. Let's hope he gets medals coming back from this.
:18:49. > :19:00.My name is Lesley, I'm an instructor. I first met Bianca when
:19:01. > :19:04.she was 11 or 12, she joined in. You could see there was something there.
:19:05. > :19:11.She would come straight from school. She would miss nights out. You could
:19:12. > :19:20.see she was going to go all the way. She went straight in. I remember
:19:21. > :19:25.thinking, sorry, don't say sorry until after. Another kick in the
:19:26. > :19:34.face and she said sorry. She had that good human nature to her as
:19:35. > :19:40.well. She was fighting at the time. I stopped sparring when she got to
:19:41. > :19:47.toll. I was coming away with cuts and bruises and I thought I did not
:19:48. > :19:53.need that at my age! In 20 tell she was out. If she gets gold, I don't
:19:54. > :19:59.even know what to think. Bianca has never forgot her roots. Even if she
:20:00. > :20:07.wins a medal I will get her to come and see the kids. It is really hard
:20:08. > :20:09.not to get swept up in it even if you don't know the sports. Every
:20:10. > :20:13.time I think I will be interested. Ewan, you come from
:20:14. > :20:29.quite a sporty family. Yes, they called him Wee Jim. He was
:20:30. > :20:34.not very small! He was smaller than the other teachers. Was he teaching
:20:35. > :20:37.you? They tried that not happen. When you're at the school where your
:20:38. > :20:43.father teachers they try to make sure they don't. But if the other
:20:44. > :20:48.one was sick I would be in my dad's class, I always like that. Were you
:20:49. > :20:53.good? Did you bunk off a lot? I was not very good at sport. I let him
:20:54. > :20:57.down in that respect. You've done all right for yourself. Was he
:20:58. > :21:01.disappointed you are not off to the Olympics? My brother was very
:21:02. > :21:06.sporty, that probably made up for it. I was not very good rugby and
:21:07. > :21:10.terrible at cricket. May be the key was when running you were not being
:21:11. > :21:14.chased by businessmen and a policeman through the streets of
:21:15. > :21:27.Edinburgh. Look, you Olympic standard! Macae steady the headers.
:21:28. > :21:35.Look at that. Eye of the Tiger. That is coming round again. Did you
:21:36. > :21:40.expect this? I did not. The sequel came out ten years after
:21:41. > :21:44.Trainspotting and came and went and no script came out of it. Only last
:21:45. > :21:51.year that we suddenly get copies sent to us from Danny Boyle and John
:21:52. > :21:56.Hodge who wrote the original screenplay wrote a blinder. He
:21:57. > :22:01.really managed to make the sequel we were waiting for. Was there a
:22:02. > :22:07.conversation with Danny worldview in from the start? It has been a slow
:22:08. > :22:12.burn with Danny over the last five years. We've mentioned it here and
:22:13. > :22:15.there. I was always a bit reluctant to make a sequel to Trainspotting
:22:16. > :22:19.because I did not want to damage the reputation of the original film and
:22:20. > :22:24.I did not want to make a sequel that was not as good. When I read the
:22:25. > :22:32.script I went, this is not what we are doing. I was in. It's been busy.
:22:33. > :22:38.You've made your directorial debut. American Pastoral. How did that come
:22:39. > :22:44.about? I was attached, it is funny seeing bits of it there. Is that the
:22:45. > :22:49.first time? It is the first experience I've had of living with a
:22:50. > :22:54.film for 16 months. My job as an actor is coming on board for a few
:22:55. > :23:03.months. Then I walk away. This film I've lived with from the beginning,
:23:04. > :23:09.for 16 months. It was an amazing experience, I love that very much. I
:23:10. > :23:13.was lucky I got to do it. I've been attached to act on it for three
:23:14. > :23:18.years. A bit like the drummer in spinal tap we kept losing the
:23:19. > :23:24.director. I don't think any of them died! One of them, maybe. I finally
:23:25. > :23:29.suggested myself because I had wanted to direct for a long time and
:23:30. > :23:33.I thought maybe I could have a crack at it. I enjoyed it and I worked
:23:34. > :23:38.with some billion people. Very best of luck with that.
:23:39. > :23:48.Matt and Alex are in Webley getting ready for the special tomorrow.
:23:49. > :23:54.Argue settling in? We are! It is lovely. I'm here, the trucks are
:23:55. > :23:58.here, Matt is doing some last minute prep for the Olympics but is on the
:23:59. > :24:03.way. It was lovely when we arrived, all these posters up to welcome us,
:24:04. > :24:09.everybody looking forward to the show. We will include as many
:24:10. > :24:12.residents as possible. Alan Jones made a lovely film about the summer
:24:13. > :24:27.affect that happened here last June. Look. Can you hear that? Tell me.
:24:28. > :24:37.Cakes and T. Flowers and games. Put them together and you've got the
:24:38. > :24:44.village set. I've lived here for 30 years and I love it. We are
:24:45. > :24:49.celebrating the 900th birthday of the church and Pat has been
:24:50. > :24:56.arranging the flowers. We thought we would ask the organisations if
:24:57. > :25:09.they'd like to be involved. We have a new vicar and we are fairly
:25:10. > :25:19.elderly. We are the labourers, we put the bunting up. Anything else
:25:20. > :25:27.but we are instructed to do. The church needs a lot of money. We are
:25:28. > :25:36.putting on the finishing touches before the grand opening. We've
:25:37. > :25:38.asked Julius to move it. Now the formalities are over, the fund can
:25:39. > :25:50.begin. This is the ladder game which we've
:25:51. > :26:05.done every year for at least 20 years. Completely compulsive. It is
:26:06. > :26:09.a heartbreaker but it makes money. This comes naturally now because
:26:10. > :26:17.I've done it a lot. I love doing it, even when my children were small I
:26:18. > :26:27.did this. Usually I would make fruitcakes. It is half price today.
:26:28. > :26:32.I've made this because I was married here 40 years ago. This is me and
:26:33. > :26:41.this is my husband. We were very nervous, and we live in the house
:26:42. > :26:52.that is being converted from where we had a reception.
:26:53. > :27:01.They don't make too big a thing of this. One thing we wanted to do was
:27:02. > :27:07.better at some of the games. So far they've cost me quite a lot of money
:27:08. > :27:11.without winning anything. I don't think many of them had had a shot at
:27:12. > :27:20.the horses, they have got used to it now. The children like it, it brings
:27:21. > :27:24.the community together. I hope this will continue and always be
:27:25. > :27:28.remembered for going out with a bang.
:27:29. > :27:42.As the church clock strikes to, it is bang on. It is going to go. Stand
:27:43. > :28:05.back. That was good. Over here! Perfect.
:28:06. > :28:12.Muscles holding up? Brilliant. Thank you very much. Really. Thanks to
:28:13. > :28:19.Alan. No wonder that film was good because we found out today that he
:28:20. > :28:23.was the film editor on the movie Pink Panther. Lots of talented
:28:24. > :28:28.people in Weobley. They've come out to see us and they will be the stars
:28:29. > :28:35.of the show. We are looking at the problems that face villagers in a
:28:36. > :28:39.city like -- in a village like this. The locals rallied together to bring
:28:40. > :28:51.it back and this is going from strength to strength. We are meeting
:28:52. > :28:54.and, who is in her 90s and is putting off retirement. And this is
:28:55. > :28:59.very familiar to people living in villages like this. The history of
:29:00. > :29:06.the place is not all chocolate boxes. There was a workhouse here
:29:07. > :29:10.and it is luckily closed. The grand finale will be squeeze playing in
:29:11. > :29:25.the bus stop. I'm going to head to my digs. An early night for us. We
:29:26. > :29:32.are done. Goodbye. I don't know how she can sleep! You got your own
:29:33. > :29:37.gathering of the MacGregor clan later! It is the Crieff Highland
:29:38. > :29:43.gathering, which is a great Highland games. All across Scotland they
:29:44. > :29:51.happen at different weekends and there is a heavyweight competition.
:29:52. > :29:58.It is a wonderful day out. It brings the community together. Thank you
:29:59. > :30:10.for your company. For more information head to the websites.
:30:11. > :30:25.Absolute pleasure sharing the so far, don't forget to tune in.
:30:26. > :30:28.nothing says Rio de Janeiro quite like it.
