Hello and welcome to the One Show with rogue catcher Matt Allwright.

:00:14.:00:17.

have hot-footed it to Herefordshire to get ready

:00:18.:00:32.

for tomorrow's special show from the wonderful village of Weobley.

:00:33.:00:34.

We'll speak to Alex a bit later about how it's shaping up.

:00:35.:00:37.

Yes, we're in charge tonight, and are they going to be sad

:00:38.:00:41.

they missed tonight's guest, a bone-fide British film star!

:00:42.:00:48.

People are all a little wobbly, I am not going to live.

:00:49.:00:52.

And Weobley might be one of the only places he hasn't been to.

:00:53.:00:55.

He's run through the streets of Edinburgh.

:00:56.:00:57.

He's even traversed the deserts of Tattooine...

:00:58.:01:05.

MUSIC: "Lust for Life" by Iggy Pop.

:01:06.:01:15.

All right? Wow! Thank you very much. Good, and today? 25 of my closest

:01:16.:01:27.

friends. We mentioned some of the many

:01:28.:01:31.

places you've been, and you're just back

:01:32.:01:33.

from a trip to Iraq for Unicef, But we need to clear up a rumour

:01:34.:01:45.

that has been doing the rounds, spread by a certain Mr Noel

:01:46.:01:49.

Gallagher. How do you say it? He claims that your first light sabre

:01:50.:01:56.

fight as Obi-Wan Kenobi was not with anyone from the dark side, it was

:01:57.:02:01.

with him, can you confirm this rumour? Yeah, it is true! I found

:02:02.:02:06.

out that I had got the part of Obi-Wan Kenobi and I went to a party

:02:07.:02:14.

at his house, down the road from me in Belsize park at the time. It was

:02:15.:02:23.

in the 1990s, so at eighth and next morning we were having a light sabre

:02:24.:02:28.

fight in his garden. Using what exactly? He had light sabres there.

:02:29.:02:34.

I didn't come with my own at that time! The noises and everything? He

:02:35.:02:40.

didn't go easy with me. I bet he puts up a pretty good fight. Lovely

:02:41.:02:46.

to have you with us. Great to have you with us.

:02:47.:02:49.

On an August night in 2011, cities across the UK experienced rioting

:02:50.:02:52.

and violence which escalated very quicky, some blamed social media.

:02:53.:02:55.

But that same social media also gave a voice

:02:56.:02:57.

to those who wanted to put things right.

:02:58.:03:01.

Anita has returned to catch up with those who were swept up in events.

:03:02.:03:09.

Five years ago, Britain was shattered by the worst riots in

:03:10.:03:18.

decades. For a few hours last night, and icky came to the streets of

:03:19.:03:23.

London... The rights broke out after 29-year-old Mark Duggan was shot and

:03:24.:03:27.

killed by police in Tottenham, north London. I live in East London, and

:03:28.:03:32.

the riots were happening on my doorstep, so the following morning I

:03:33.:03:35.

went to film a piece for the One Show the aftermath.

:03:36.:03:40.

I have lived in this area for eight years, and as soon as I saw that

:03:41.:03:43.

riots were taking place in Hackney, I had to come down to see what the

:03:44.:03:47.

situation was. But what I saw was a complete

:03:48.:03:52.

contrast to the madness of the night before, images like this became an

:03:53.:03:56.

icon of determination, people wanting to clean up their street and

:03:57.:04:00.

bring communities together. They were called the broom armies, and

:04:01.:04:09.

their mission was to clean up the mess. I am trying to track down the

:04:10.:04:14.

people who swept up the horrors of the looting. Many of those on the

:04:15.:04:18.

rampage were teenagers, but 116-year-old had a different idea. I

:04:19.:04:24.

was a bit shocked, but I headed to Twitter, which was quite popular for

:04:25.:04:27.

news, and I saw the hashtag which had started, and then me and a

:04:28.:04:34.

friend Patrick built this website to show people where they could turn up

:04:35.:04:38.

to help clean up the streets. That is amazing, so as a 16-year-old

:04:39.:04:44.

watching the news, you were driven to get involved? It was on the news,

:04:45.:04:50.

it was being portrayed as youths were starting the riots, setting

:04:51.:04:53.

fire to things, and I wanted to change how young people were viewed

:04:54.:04:59.

in that way. So you have got the story there, then you talk about

:05:00.:05:02.

what people can do to get involved. Did you get a sense that people

:05:03.:05:07.

wanted to get involved? So overnight the hashtag amassed nearly 100,000

:05:08.:05:12.

people following it, in Clapham 5000 people turned up with brooms and bin

:05:13.:05:19.

bags, people with bands collecting donations. Peckham saw some of the

:05:20.:05:24.

worst violence. Sally was working in her cafe that night. The first thing

:05:25.:05:28.

I knew was that my neighbours of the city came in and said, you might

:05:29.:05:32.

want to put your shutters down. There was something in the air, I

:05:33.:05:38.

cannot really explain it, but it was menacing. What did you say? There

:05:39.:05:46.

were military vehicles in my street, policemen in full riot gear, it had

:05:47.:05:52.

gone from perfectly normal, central city seemed to apocalypse. I was

:05:53.:05:57.

literally standing two yards from rioters hurling things, and they

:05:58.:06:01.

were hurling things at our shutters. Were they saying anything to you?

:06:02.:06:06.

They couldn't see me, I was in the dark behind the shutters, but they

:06:07.:06:12.

seemed quite feral to me. After the violence, crowds of cleaners took to

:06:13.:06:17.

the streets all over the country. Communities banded together to clean

:06:18.:06:20.

up their shattered neighbourhoods. And the uplifted broom became a

:06:21.:06:29.

symbol of solidarity. Five years on, we've brought together a broom army

:06:30.:06:33.

to mark the anniversary of the big clean-up. People like to band

:06:34.:06:37.

together and help each other at, and there was a much stronger sense of

:06:38.:06:40.

community in the area afterwards, and you could feel it. I saw someone

:06:41.:06:46.

on Twitter saying we should clean up. You were the actual person who

:06:47.:06:54.

came up with that hashtag. That is right, yeah. There was something

:06:55.:06:58.

about the hashtag which sparked something. It got picked up by

:06:59.:07:05.

people like Simon Pegg, and it went from there. After the riot, 4000

:07:06.:07:12.

people were posting their reaction, and most of them were saying how

:07:13.:07:15.

much they loved Peckham, or what it meant to them. Five years on, and he

:07:16.:07:22.

we are reminiscing about what happened in the aftermath of the

:07:23.:07:25.

riots. I think the legacy is exactly what everyone has been talking

:07:26.:07:31.

about, unity, solidarity, and above all community. All together now...

:07:32.:07:39.

Broom army! That is lovely, it is really

:07:40.:07:42.

difficult to imagine that was five years ago. It has gone so quickly.

:07:43.:07:49.

I'm glad to say Angellica is here, alongside Lianna, and we will find

:07:50.:07:53.

out about your story in a little while, but the broom army was one

:07:54.:07:56.

example of a story where we have seen social media start something

:07:57.:08:01.

small and grow and make a huge difference to peoples lives. The

:08:02.:08:05.

truth is, whether you love it or loathe it, social media is powerful

:08:06.:08:10.

and real. You might member two years ago the Ice Bucket Challenge, where

:08:11.:08:13.

friends and family would nominate you do have to freezing cold ice

:08:14.:08:19.

water poured over you, you would upload the video to social media and

:08:20.:08:23.

donate money to a motor neurone disease charity. One in six Britons

:08:24.:08:31.

took part in that, including Ewan. I did, yeah! And we raise ?5 million,

:08:32.:08:40.

a pot much bigger than that! Lots of people did it, and a lot of people

:08:41.:08:43.

thought it was just a stunt, a bit annoying, but the amazing news is

:08:44.:08:47.

that last week it was announced that the money raised from this online

:08:48.:08:50.

craze helped with a breakthrough for motor neurone disease. Scientists

:08:51.:08:56.

have discovered a gene which contributes to the kind of motor

:08:57.:08:59.

neurone disease which is passed down through families genetically, and it

:09:00.:09:02.

would be us a better understanding of the disease and could lead to new

:09:03.:09:07.

treatment possibilities. So this is like power people, really. The speed

:09:08.:09:12.

at which it happened as well, and now there is a press up challenge.

:09:13.:09:18.

Yes, 22 Pushup Challenge, US charity has called on people to film

:09:19.:09:21.

themselves doing press up to raise awareness of veterans suffering from

:09:22.:09:26.

mental illness, and it has come over here, 10,000 servicemen have been

:09:27.:09:34.

doing it. Dogs! And even dogs, yes. It is amazing how quickly it can

:09:35.:09:39.

turn around, and you are a perfect example of someone who started with

:09:40.:09:43.

something small and possibly cannot believe what you have done. We

:09:44.:09:47.

started last summer as a group of friends, we set out to raise ?1000

:09:48.:09:52.

and collect clothes and goods to take to Calais, and we started

:09:53.:09:56.

A-level hashtag and got on social media, and within a week we had

:09:57.:10:01.

?56,000, 7000 packages arriving a day in our storage. We thought we

:10:02.:10:06.

had to check they could receive these goods, we found there were no

:10:07.:10:11.

major charities there, so we hired a warehouse, got networks going, a

:10:12.:10:15.

volunteer programme, and it really grew from there. You have no idea,

:10:16.:10:20.

you have to manage the success of what you have done, but you are kind

:10:21.:10:25.

of responsible for making it work. None of us had any experience in the

:10:26.:10:29.

charity sector, we had no intentions of doing this, it was an accident,

:10:30.:10:33.

but a testament to the compassionate nature of the British public as

:10:34.:10:37.

well, because we found so many people saying, how can we help? We

:10:38.:10:43.

acted like a conduit, really. Best of luck with whatever happens next.

:10:44.:10:50.

Angellica, thanks for coming in. Ewan, you have just come back from

:10:51.:10:54.

visiting a refugee camp in Iraq, part of your role as a Unicef

:10:55.:10:59.

ambassador, tell as about Mirna. Mirna is a lovely bubbly little girl

:11:00.:11:04.

who fled with her family from a village near Mosul in northern Iraq

:11:05.:11:13.

two years ago. And when Isis took over the village, they had to leave

:11:14.:11:16.

with nothing, she left with 1200 other families from that village,

:11:17.:11:20.

and they fled to a town where we were staying, called Irbil. So money

:11:21.:11:30.

people were living in the streets, so many people were leaving their

:11:31.:11:34.

villages, there was no infrastructure, no clean water, no

:11:35.:11:38.

sanitation. And this village was allowed to use a half built shopping

:11:39.:11:43.

mall, and they live there for... It was a desperate place, but they live

:11:44.:11:48.

there for 18 months, and Unicef and other NGOs were really quick in

:11:49.:11:52.

moving around, finding out where people work, because people would

:11:53.:11:55.

suddenly appear, hundreds of people who had left their homes with

:11:56.:11:59.

Nottingham. They worked very hard to get them water, get them some form

:12:00.:12:05.

of sanitation, protection, ultimately help set up camps,

:12:06.:12:08.

refugee camps and displacement camps. We have got a little message

:12:09.:12:10.

from Mirna for you. TRANSLATION: I did not know him, but

:12:11.:12:23.

when I got to know him, I was very happy. When Ewan came here, we

:12:24.:12:32.

started to play and take pictures. And it was very, very nice. That is

:12:33.:12:39.

a big smile! She's a sweet out, she really is. It is the extraordinary

:12:40.:12:44.

thing, of course, we are sort of getting used to seeing images of

:12:45.:12:49.

camps and refugees, and we hear about them all the time, and then

:12:50.:12:53.

you go and see with your own eyes, and that is my job, as an ambassador

:12:54.:12:58.

for Unicef, but a face to all those statistics, and that little girl was

:12:59.:13:02.

going to school, now she is living in a camp. People in this company

:13:03.:13:09.

becoming more or less? You get a feeling for that? I think we are

:13:10.:13:14.

sympathetic in Britain, and we are caring. Politicians have used

:13:15.:13:18.

refugees as a means to play their games to their ends, and they are

:13:19.:13:23.

playing politics with people's lives, like that little girl. I went

:13:24.:13:27.

to see how they are living in that situation, and it is bleak, and they

:13:28.:13:31.

should be ashamed of themselves, the politicians who are using them as

:13:32.:13:36.

statistics in that way. There is a lot of bleakness, is it your job to

:13:37.:13:41.

go and try and inject a little bit of fun into it? You are a dad of

:13:42.:13:48.

four... Well, they... Give them some semblance of a childhood? I do not

:13:49.:13:52.

think it is my job to try and do that, but that is what ends up

:13:53.:13:55.

happening, because the children want to play and have fun, regardless of

:13:56.:14:00.

what situation they are in. And Unicef have these brilliant child

:14:01.:14:06.

friendly areas, or in some instances actual schools in refugee camps and

:14:07.:14:10.

displacement camps, and kids want to be kids, they just want to play. It

:14:11.:14:17.

was 45 degrees, and we saw, in one camp, four Big ten switch were child

:14:18.:14:21.

friendly spaces, and in one there was a level cartoon screen, in

:14:22.:14:26.

another one there was crafts, others were running around, and they talked

:14:27.:14:31.

about the children coming at nine in the morning, they would just appear.

:14:32.:14:35.

The camps are so enormous, you cannot imagine the scale of these

:14:36.:14:39.

camps. And the children arrive in the spaces, and they get to be kids

:14:40.:14:43.

during the day, they get to play and have fun. To put myself in your

:14:44.:14:48.

shoes, this extreme environment, you are going back to another extreme

:14:49.:14:52.

environment, your life in LA with your family, do you feel guilty? Do

:14:53.:14:58.

you feel that life is absurd? You are always remembering that their

:14:59.:15:04.

life is carrying on like that, and that is what spurs me to continue to

:15:05.:15:07.

want to do the best thing I can with Unicef. My life is my life, and I

:15:08.:15:12.

have a family, and I am lucky my children are safe and go to school,

:15:13.:15:16.

they are protected by me and my wife, but by going out with Unicef

:15:17.:15:20.

and doing these trips, I am reminded it is not the case for all the

:15:21.:15:24.

children in the world, and my job is to go and see children in situations

:15:25.:15:29.

like this, come back and talk about it, try and encourage people to keep

:15:30.:15:33.

supporting the work of Unicef. Because the work they do is release

:15:34.:15:37.

of the most important work in the I think. If you would like to find out

:15:38.:15:42.

more about the trip to Iraq and Unicef's work, go to their website

:15:43.:15:47.

for more information. It is only three days to go until the real

:15:48.:15:51.

Olympics. I cannot believe it has come around so quickly! We all know

:15:52.:15:57.

the names from Team GB, the big medal contenders, but there are

:15:58.:16:04.

plenty more hopefuls going out to try to win for Britain.

:16:05.:16:07.

And here are three of those hoping to perch on a podium in the next

:16:08.:16:11.

couple of weeks, all being given the big up by family and friends.

:16:12.:16:19.

I am Sharon, her mother, and I am her auntie.

:16:20.:16:28.

Asha did a different things everyday, her cousins would not run.

:16:29.:16:34.

They said she would beat them. We did not know. The race that made me

:16:35.:16:44.

most proud was her first senior race, she was on the line with the

:16:45.:16:50.

big names, she'd made that transition from a junior to senior.

:16:51.:16:54.

When she broke her leg, and she was at university, she worked very hard,

:16:55.:17:00.

we had to regroup and rethink. She still wanted to run. She knew she

:17:01.:17:06.

was coming back from that. She knew how important family was. At the end

:17:07.:17:09.

of the day, she knew she could not do it on her own. We encouraged her.

:17:10.:17:20.

We would get her to eat had food, to put strength in her body. We just

:17:21.:17:29.

need to get to Rio de Janiero, she thought. I'm telling you, that is

:17:30.:17:41.

for us. I have been here for 16 years. I've seen thousands of kids

:17:42.:17:47.

come through the door, this guy walked through, stocky, climbed up

:17:48.:17:51.

the stack of chairs, sat with his arms and legs crossed. You could

:17:52.:17:56.

tell he was going to be amazing. Everything I asked him to do, he

:17:57.:18:03.

could do. A handstand. He's one of the only gymnasts I know that has

:18:04.:18:12.

won every single group. His dad was always his rock, was always there.

:18:13.:18:16.

Before his dad passed away, he wanted him to get to the Olympics

:18:17.:18:27.

and he promised he would do that. He had a freak accident, he snapped

:18:28.:18:30.

both the bones in the bottom of his legs. To come back to that and

:18:31.:18:33.

compete in the Olympics is unheard of. He promised he would get to the

:18:34.:18:41.

Olympics to his dad. Let's hope he gets medals coming back from this.

:18:42.:18:48.

My name is Lesley, I'm an instructor. I first met Bianca when

:18:49.:19:00.

she was 11 or 12, she joined in. You could see there was something there.

:19:01.:19:04.

She would come straight from school. She would miss nights out. You could

:19:05.:19:11.

see she was going to go all the way. She went straight in. I remember

:19:12.:19:20.

thinking, sorry, don't say sorry until after. Another kick in the

:19:21.:19:25.

face and she said sorry. She had that good human nature to her as

:19:26.:19:34.

well. She was fighting at the time. I stopped sparring when she got to

:19:35.:19:40.

toll. I was coming away with cuts and bruises and I thought I did not

:19:41.:19:47.

need that at my age! In 20 tell she was out. If she gets gold, I don't

:19:48.:19:53.

even know what to think. Bianca has never forgot her roots. Even if she

:19:54.:19:59.

wins a medal I will get her to come and see the kids. It is really hard

:20:00.:20:07.

not to get swept up in it even if you don't know the sports. Every

:20:08.:20:09.

time I think I will be interested. Ewan, you come from

:20:10.:20:13.

quite a sporty family. Yes, they called him Wee Jim. He was

:20:14.:20:29.

not very small! He was smaller than the other teachers. Was he teaching

:20:30.:20:34.

you? They tried that not happen. When you're at the school where your

:20:35.:20:37.

father teachers they try to make sure they don't. But if the other

:20:38.:20:43.

one was sick I would be in my dad's class, I always like that. Were you

:20:44.:20:48.

good? Did you bunk off a lot? I was not very good at sport. I let him

:20:49.:20:53.

down in that respect. You've done all right for yourself. Was he

:20:54.:20:57.

disappointed you are not off to the Olympics? My brother was very

:20:58.:21:01.

sporty, that probably made up for it. I was not very good rugby and

:21:02.:21:06.

terrible at cricket. May be the key was when running you were not being

:21:07.:21:10.

chased by businessmen and a policeman through the streets of

:21:11.:21:14.

Edinburgh. Look, you Olympic standard! Macae steady the headers.

:21:15.:21:27.

Look at that. Eye of the Tiger. That is coming round again. Did you

:21:28.:21:35.

expect this? I did not. The sequel came out ten years after

:21:36.:21:40.

Trainspotting and came and went and no script came out of it. Only last

:21:41.:21:44.

year that we suddenly get copies sent to us from Danny Boyle and John

:21:45.:21:51.

Hodge who wrote the original screenplay wrote a blinder. He

:21:52.:21:56.

really managed to make the sequel we were waiting for. Was there a

:21:57.:22:01.

conversation with Danny worldview in from the start? It has been a slow

:22:02.:22:07.

burn with Danny over the last five years. We've mentioned it here and

:22:08.:22:12.

there. I was always a bit reluctant to make a sequel to Trainspotting

:22:13.:22:15.

because I did not want to damage the reputation of the original film and

:22:16.:22:19.

I did not want to make a sequel that was not as good. When I read the

:22:20.:22:24.

script I went, this is not what we are doing. I was in. It's been busy.

:22:25.:22:32.

You've made your directorial debut. American Pastoral. How did that come

:22:33.:22:38.

about? I was attached, it is funny seeing bits of it there. Is that the

:22:39.:22:44.

first time? It is the first experience I've had of living with a

:22:45.:22:49.

film for 16 months. My job as an actor is coming on board for a few

:22:50.:22:54.

months. Then I walk away. This film I've lived with from the beginning,

:22:55.:23:03.

for 16 months. It was an amazing experience, I love that very much. I

:23:04.:23:09.

was lucky I got to do it. I've been attached to act on it for three

:23:10.:23:13.

years. A bit like the drummer in spinal tap we kept losing the

:23:14.:23:18.

director. I don't think any of them died! One of them, maybe. I finally

:23:19.:23:24.

suggested myself because I had wanted to direct for a long time and

:23:25.:23:29.

I thought maybe I could have a crack at it. I enjoyed it and I worked

:23:30.:23:33.

with some billion people. Very best of luck with that.

:23:34.:23:38.

Matt and Alex are in Webley getting ready for the special tomorrow.

:23:39.:23:48.

Argue settling in? We are! It is lovely. I'm here, the trucks are

:23:49.:23:54.

here, Matt is doing some last minute prep for the Olympics but is on the

:23:55.:23:58.

way. It was lovely when we arrived, all these posters up to welcome us,

:23:59.:24:03.

everybody looking forward to the show. We will include as many

:24:04.:24:09.

residents as possible. Alan Jones made a lovely film about the summer

:24:10.:24:12.

affect that happened here last June. Look. Can you hear that? Tell me.

:24:13.:24:27.

Cakes and T. Flowers and games. Put them together and you've got the

:24:28.:24:37.

village set. I've lived here for 30 years and I love it. We are

:24:38.:24:44.

celebrating the 900th birthday of the church and Pat has been

:24:45.:24:49.

arranging the flowers. We thought we would ask the organisations if

:24:50.:24:56.

they'd like to be involved. We have a new vicar and we are fairly

:24:57.:25:09.

elderly. We are the labourers, we put the bunting up. Anything else

:25:10.:25:19.

but we are instructed to do. The church needs a lot of money. We are

:25:20.:25:27.

putting on the finishing touches before the grand opening. We've

:25:28.:25:36.

asked Julius to move it. Now the formalities are over, the fund can

:25:37.:25:38.

begin. This is the ladder game which we've

:25:39.:25:50.

done every year for at least 20 years. Completely compulsive. It is

:25:51.:26:05.

a heartbreaker but it makes money. This comes naturally now because

:26:06.:26:09.

I've done it a lot. I love doing it, even when my children were small I

:26:10.:26:17.

did this. Usually I would make fruitcakes. It is half price today.

:26:18.:26:27.

I've made this because I was married here 40 years ago. This is me and

:26:28.:26:32.

this is my husband. We were very nervous, and we live in the house

:26:33.:26:41.

that is being converted from where we had a reception.

:26:42.:26:52.

They don't make too big a thing of this. One thing we wanted to do was

:26:53.:27:01.

better at some of the games. So far they've cost me quite a lot of money

:27:02.:27:07.

without winning anything. I don't think many of them had had a shot at

:27:08.:27:11.

the horses, they have got used to it now. The children like it, it brings

:27:12.:27:20.

the community together. I hope this will continue and always be

:27:21.:27:24.

remembered for going out with a bang.

:27:25.:27:28.

As the church clock strikes to, it is bang on. It is going to go. Stand

:27:29.:27:42.

back. That was good. Over here! Perfect.

:27:43.:28:05.

Muscles holding up? Brilliant. Thank you very much. Really. Thanks to

:28:06.:28:12.

Alan. No wonder that film was good because we found out today that he

:28:13.:28:19.

was the film editor on the movie Pink Panther. Lots of talented

:28:20.:28:23.

people in Weobley. They've come out to see us and they will be the stars

:28:24.:28:28.

of the show. We are looking at the problems that face villagers in a

:28:29.:28:35.

city like -- in a village like this. The locals rallied together to bring

:28:36.:28:39.

it back and this is going from strength to strength. We are meeting

:28:40.:28:51.

and, who is in her 90s and is putting off retirement. And this is

:28:52.:28:54.

very familiar to people living in villages like this. The history of

:28:55.:28:59.

the place is not all chocolate boxes. There was a workhouse here

:29:00.:29:06.

and it is luckily closed. The grand finale will be squeeze playing in

:29:07.:29:10.

the bus stop. I'm going to head to my digs. An early night for us. We

:29:11.:29:25.

are done. Goodbye. I don't know how she can sleep! You got your own

:29:26.:29:32.

gathering of the MacGregor clan later! It is the Crieff Highland

:29:33.:29:37.

gathering, which is a great Highland games. All across Scotland they

:29:38.:29:43.

happen at different weekends and there is a heavyweight competition.

:29:44.:29:51.

It is a wonderful day out. It brings the community together. Thank you

:29:52.:29:58.

for your company. For more information head to the websites.

:29:59.:30:10.

Absolute pleasure sharing the so far, don't forget to tune in.

nothing says Rio de Janeiro quite like it.
