:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones.
:00:18. > :00:30.Haven't you picked a good night? It's going to be a ladies night.
:00:31. > :00:32.Our guests tonight are two trailblazing actors
:00:33. > :00:37.One plays the women we'd all love to be, the other has played quite
:00:38. > :00:54.You shall become a poor and pathetic spinster. It's such a terrible pity.
:00:55. > :01:02.Hello? You had me at hello. Yes, we have met twice. The best scene in a
:01:03. > :01:09.film ever. Back together for the third Bridget
:01:10. > :01:20.Jones The best scene in a Renee Zellweger
:01:21. > :01:29.and Sally Phillips! It's hard to believe that it is 12
:01:30. > :01:36.years. Was it lovely to bring her back to the big screen? It's the
:01:37. > :01:42.best. It's such a fun character to play plus it is a family reunion
:01:43. > :01:51.when we all get together. How did this happen? You are very cleverly
:01:52. > :01:59.jest 's -- dressed so that nobody will know. What happened there? I
:02:00. > :02:05.went to the Edinburgh Festival. The last time I went, I was 26. I used
:02:06. > :02:11.to leap around and do handsprings everywhere. I forgot that 19 years
:02:12. > :02:28.had passed. I fell off the stage and broke my foot. It is like a very
:02:29. > :02:41.dark and frightening Honey Monster. They are kind of
:02:42. > :02:52.like S Ugg boots. I'm about disappointed with the premiere
:02:53. > :02:57.because I was going to look like an actual celebrity. I was thinking,
:02:58. > :03:05.should I write "Bridget for Mark" on the side. Or is it Bridget for Jack?
:03:06. > :03:12.Let's not reveal too much. Back to the film. Bridget has had some very
:03:13. > :03:19.good news indeed. She's having a baby. Tonight, we want to hear your
:03:20. > :03:26.good news. Start with Alex. You couldn't have timed the release of
:03:27. > :03:33.this film better. It just so happens that my husband Charlie and I are
:03:34. > :03:40.having a baby. APPLAUSE I was trying to breathe in,
:03:41. > :03:49.eventually, I can breathe out. How are you feeling? Really good. No
:03:50. > :03:56.sickness, no tiredness. It's been lovely so far. We are so thrilled
:03:57. > :04:02.for you. If you have good news, senders a photograph and we will
:04:03. > :04:06.share it with the nation. In recent months, we have kept Esther busy
:04:07. > :04:11.trying to find answers to your dilemmas. This time, the question
:04:12. > :04:17.comes from somebody that you might know quite well. It says, my friends
:04:18. > :04:24.keep telling me I'd make a great mum and should have a baby. I'm 40 and I
:04:25. > :04:31.have no husband or partner. Should I be worried? It comes from Bridget in
:04:32. > :04:38.London. Let's see what the people in Camden think? Would you be worried
:04:39. > :04:42.if you haven't had children by the time you're 40. I'm 50 and I don't
:04:43. > :04:49.have children and I'm not worried at all. Now, we can have babies with no
:04:50. > :04:58.men in our lives. How would you feel about that? What do you do? Science.
:04:59. > :05:05.You have to go there. I know somebody who was born from in vitro
:05:06. > :05:15.fertilisation. So the father was a test tube? How old were you when she
:05:16. > :05:26.was born? 27. Honestly, I think it is better to be young when they are
:05:27. > :05:35.born. So you can get it done. I said to her, is it Gloria? No, it's not.
:05:36. > :05:43.How old is too old to be a mum? It's never too old. I'm a 45 and my child
:05:44. > :05:51.is two. Congratulations. Is there an age when you are to world? Your body
:05:52. > :05:58.gets too old. I had my first when I was 37 and my second one I was 39.
:05:59. > :06:04.My third when I was 41 you've been lucky. Do men have a biological
:06:05. > :06:11.clock? I can only speak for myself. I suspect they might. Ask Mick
:06:12. > :06:20.Jagger that question. He can answer it. He goes on and on and on.
:06:21. > :06:25.There's a lady in her early 40s, everybody says she'd be a wonderful
:06:26. > :06:33.mother but she hasn't found the right man. What she cheat you? --
:06:34. > :06:45.what should she do? She's too hard to read the -- meet the right man.
:06:46. > :06:51.She's trying too hard. Find a man from a different country. West
:06:52. > :06:55.Africa, that's all I'm saying. If you stop looking for the perfect
:06:56. > :07:05.person, it will come along and knock her for six. Esther Ranson! All
:07:06. > :07:11.about babies tonight. Let's talk about the new film. We last saw
:07:12. > :07:17.Bridget in The Edge Of Reason. Now she's celebrating her 43rd birthday.
:07:18. > :07:23.We thought it was all good and she was with Mark Darcy. But the fairy
:07:24. > :07:27.tale has fallen apart. It is a little different than we might have
:07:28. > :07:32.expected. She is back on the couch for her birthday by herself. Life
:07:33. > :07:36.has moved on and she is doing all right. She's professionally more
:07:37. > :07:45.accomplished. She is producing a news show. Not always successfully,
:07:46. > :07:53.just to add. That's a good point. She has to worry about the wretched
:07:54. > :07:59.presenter. They are a nightmare. We are a law unto ourselves. There is a
:08:00. > :08:04.bit of a quandary in the film. Mark and Jack are keen to be involved in
:08:05. > :08:15.the baby's life. It leads to confusion. I'm Bridget. This is
:08:16. > :08:24.Jack. And... This is Mark. Oh, lovely. You're our second that
:08:25. > :08:34.same-sex couple today. No, actually... Absolutely. We need the
:08:35. > :08:41.gift of a baby to make is complete. You must be the surrogates. Just
:08:42. > :08:54.making this lovely couple's dream come true. It's all new isn't it? So
:08:55. > :09:00.many laugh out loud moments. We were upset by the ending. No, I was
:09:01. > :09:06.pleased. We wanted different endings. Is it sure that they shot
:09:07. > :09:11.different endings? They actually never wrote the ending down so it is
:09:12. > :09:21.a mystery because we didn't want to give it away. I think they picked
:09:22. > :09:26.the best one. Sally, you play Shazza, Bridget's best friend. Is it
:09:27. > :09:35.a bit weird when you are playing the lady who is in charge. Sharon told
:09:36. > :09:42.me that it isn't her. She said it was someone called Tracy who wasn't
:09:43. > :09:48.there. I never thought it was based on Sharon. Everyone else thinks that
:09:49. > :09:54.I am playing Sharon. I turn up on the set wearing the same clothes as
:09:55. > :09:59.Sharon Maguire. I was just saying, Sharon Maguire just embodies the
:10:00. > :10:05.world of Bridget. If you ever get lost, distracted, you just need to
:10:06. > :10:14.ask her and you get straight back in. She is Bridget, she is Bridget
:10:15. > :10:21.and Mark and Jude and everyone. Tell as a bit about Shazza's story.
:10:22. > :10:28.Shazza had to fight for space in this story with all the a lest
:10:29. > :10:33.acting going down. She is married. I was hoping it would turn out well
:10:34. > :10:42.for her. She married Julian, which is wonderful. She did really well!
:10:43. > :10:48.He plays a folk singer called Fergus who was successful but now isn't so
:10:49. > :10:55.they are struggling for money. So they tour... None of this is in the
:10:56. > :10:59.film! LAUGHTER It's so important to me. It's a bit
:11:00. > :11:05.of a shock but nobody else cared about our back story. They were
:11:06. > :11:13.going to tour the Shetland Islands. They have too badly behaved children
:11:14. > :11:21.who wear Ojo clothes. It was a kid 's story. Never mind. It will be on
:11:22. > :11:26.the DVD extras. Renee, you mentioned that Bridget was a television
:11:27. > :11:31.producer. You did some in-depth research for the role. No messing
:11:32. > :11:38.about. You were in proper gallery situations. We went down to good
:11:39. > :11:45.morning, Britain and shadowed the people in the control room. It was
:11:46. > :11:51.as if you were here. Shambolic! You thought, hang on a minute! Does it
:11:52. > :11:59.change the way you feel when you see a live TV studio? Edge unbelievable.
:12:00. > :12:05.I will never be verbose again on live TV. Notice, I am keeping it
:12:06. > :12:18.short. I know what it means when you lose the time. That is exactly what
:12:19. > :12:25.is happening now. Move on! It out on Friday 16 September. We loved it.
:12:26. > :12:31.Roller-coaster 's are in the news with passengers from Alton Towers
:12:32. > :12:35.stranded mid-ride. They have two stops somewhere and we've been
:12:36. > :12:43.looking at the simple science for how they put the brakes on. For more
:12:44. > :12:52.than 100 years we've been flocking to theme parks to loop, catapult
:12:53. > :12:57.ourselves into every direction. Have you ever considered on a ride like
:12:58. > :13:07.this that goes up to 50 mph, how they are going to make it stop?
:13:08. > :13:14.That's what's on my mind. Right now! The problem is, you don't have much
:13:15. > :13:21.time to go from 50 mph 20 mph. You need to ensure that the carriages
:13:22. > :13:26.stop nice smoothly. The way this roller-coaster stops might not be
:13:27. > :13:31.quite the way you expect. To show me how it does work, is part technical
:13:32. > :13:39.director Alex Payne. These are the brakes, are they? They are not like
:13:40. > :13:44.the normal brakes on a car or bicycle. There is no contact or
:13:45. > :13:50.friction. I will give you a clue on how they work. A magnet. It's not as
:13:51. > :13:56.simple as a magnet on its own pulling the train to a stop. On the
:13:57. > :14:05.underside of every carriage is a number -- and aluminium fin. It is
:14:06. > :14:11.not magnetic. So how does it slowdown? Here is Doctor Hugh Hunt
:14:12. > :14:19.from Cambridge University to explain. Under a roller-coaster you
:14:20. > :14:24.have a magnet and aluminium metal. I have a tube here. You've got a
:14:25. > :14:29.plastic tube. Neither the aluminium or the plastic are magnetic. We are
:14:30. > :14:34.going to have a race dropping these magnets through the tubes. We will
:14:35. > :14:42.see who's gets to the bottom first. Go! Yours has dropped through in no
:14:43. > :14:51.time. Mine is still going. That's amazing! To show that there is no
:14:52. > :14:57.trick lets swap tubes. When you move a magnet near aluminium it generates
:14:58. > :15:03.a resisted force and that is how roller-coaster brakes work. What's
:15:04. > :15:09.causing the resistance is as the magnet passes the metal it generates
:15:10. > :15:14.an electric warrant. That in turn creates its own magnetic field
:15:15. > :15:17.temporarily turning the chewed into an electromagnet. The two magnetic
:15:18. > :15:22.fields work against each other slowing down the falling magnet.
:15:23. > :15:27.That is what is happening in our roller-coaster brake.
:15:28. > :15:34.I've got my own little version, a piece of aluminium swinging on a
:15:35. > :15:39.pendant and imagine that this is a roller-coaster car, if I take my
:15:40. > :15:48.magnet and stick it in the middle, it brings it to a gentle stop. With
:15:49. > :15:52.notepads to wear out or no reliance on electricity, magnetic braking
:15:53. > :16:00.systems are super reliable, as well as super long-lasting and all
:16:01. > :16:08.because of a magnet. If only I could think of some way to make it less
:16:09. > :16:12.terrifying! Lovely, thank you Marty. There is nothing better than a theme
:16:13. > :16:21.park twinned with a safari park but if you're Sally, that can cause a
:16:22. > :16:27.nightmare, potentially... Of course you were attracted to this bit of
:16:28. > :16:33.information. At theme park without a safari park is what I need because
:16:34. > :16:37.my husband is allergic to Lions! We went to a theme park twinned with a
:16:38. > :16:41.safari park and as we went twice and both times, as we drove through the
:16:42. > :16:48.lion enclosure, he started to sneeze and come up in lumps and have
:16:49. > :16:54.difficulty breathing. Does it extend to pumas and leopards? I expect so.
:16:55. > :17:03.He does not need to find out. That is brilliant. We like information
:17:04. > :17:07.like that. Coming back to the film, your British accent is amazing and
:17:08. > :17:15.if you close your eyes, or you would not know that you are American. I am
:17:16. > :17:21.surprised that you are American! It always throws me. She speaks in
:17:22. > :17:25.English. All the time that we have spent together, I have been English.
:17:26. > :17:31.You keep it up even when the cameras are rolling? I am lazy, I do not
:17:32. > :17:37.want to start over. I would say that makes you very conscientious. You
:17:38. > :17:46.used to wander around holding two giant Toblerone six she was so
:17:47. > :17:54.English. You could not tell! She did not even have a passport as far as I
:17:55. > :18:03.was concerned. When you are doing VEEP, you play the Finnish Prime
:18:04. > :18:06.Minister, do you do the same? I have stayed American the whole time and
:18:07. > :18:11.driven everyone wild with annoyance, like the American in all the breaks
:18:12. > :18:16.and then there have been mistakes, when I have heard it back, the one
:18:17. > :18:22.word where I sounded English on was when they were filming. Is Finnish
:18:23. > :18:27.difficult? It is. I got heckled on Twitter this morning by someone from
:18:28. > :18:32.Finland. They said, your Finnish accent is the most ridiculous thing
:18:33. > :18:39.I have ever heard. I said, I know it is Swedish, but do not tell anyone!
:18:40. > :18:43.It is more Swedish, but they said the Swedish we speak in Finland is
:18:44. > :18:48.different from that in Sweden. My whole accident needs a whole rethink
:18:49. > :18:53.apparently. I need to listen to lots of Formula 1 drivers! Let us put it
:18:54. > :19:08.to the test. Here is the next film, we would like you to do a English
:19:09. > :19:15.accent. Bridget and Minna. Are you going first? All week long, we have
:19:16. > :19:19.been following Andy Torbet's pioneering churning along the UK's
:19:20. > :19:32.very first long-distance coast to coast a new trail. Last night it was
:19:33. > :19:38.100 buyers in, but this is the final leg, will he make it all the way to
:19:39. > :19:42.Goole? I am just over two thirds into my journey, I have been
:19:43. > :19:47.paddling for five days on a 162 macro route to the east coast of
:19:48. > :19:52.England. I have paddled along the Yorkshire Dales and have just gone
:19:53. > :19:56.through Skipton. I have passed some amazing feats of engineering,
:19:57. > :20:01.pioneering in no time, but I'm approaching something now that was
:20:02. > :20:08.so magnificent when it was built that it grew crowds of almost 30,000
:20:09. > :20:13.people, to celebrate its opening in 1774. The Bingley five rise locks is
:20:14. > :20:17.a spectacular piece of hydraulic engineering that lifts the boat up
:20:18. > :20:22.nearly 60 feet using a unique staircase that opens directly from
:20:23. > :20:29.one block to another and is the steepest flight of locks in the UK.
:20:30. > :20:32.Because it is such a dangerous system to navigate, there is always
:20:33. > :20:40.at least one full-time lock keeper here. The great thing about health,
:20:41. > :20:49.they work in both directions. On busy days, there is more than one
:20:50. > :20:54.lock keeper on duty and today, John and Nick are on shift. What is your
:20:55. > :21:01.job entail? People would not know who was going next if this was not
:21:02. > :21:05.here. It seems that there are quite a few things that could go wrong if
:21:06. > :21:10.it is not done properly. What sort of danger is involved? It can be
:21:11. > :21:14.very hazardous. There are lots of things to look out for. Firstly
:21:15. > :21:18.there is the force of the water which is huge, probably the fiercest
:21:19. > :21:30.lock that I have seen around the network. Because it is so old, there
:21:31. > :21:33.are overhangs, boats are ascending and descending. I am now heading
:21:34. > :21:36.into Leeds where I get to the end of the leads to Liverpool Canal. A
:21:37. > :21:41.river and canal system here named after the two rivers. With every
:21:42. > :21:47.stroke I get a little bit closer to the finish line. I'm getting quite
:21:48. > :21:53.tired now. I should not complain, but the last four or five days have
:21:54. > :21:59.been really hot and humid and that takes it out of you even more when
:22:00. > :22:04.you are in the sun 12 hours a day. As with the rest of the canal
:22:05. > :22:09.system, this route has been a Tour of Britain's industrious past and I
:22:10. > :22:13.am about to pass a huge Lauren Mark which is a sign of changing times.
:22:14. > :22:18.After nearly 90 years of producing coal powered electricity,
:22:19. > :22:23.Ferrybridge power station shut down earlier this year -- landmark. In
:22:24. > :22:26.its heyday, it produced enough power for nearly 2 million people. It
:22:27. > :22:32.first started producing electricity in the 1920s and the site was chosen
:22:33. > :22:37.as it had excellent river transport links. Narrow boats already brought
:22:38. > :22:42.in coal from local collieries. With huge losses predicted and growing
:22:43. > :22:47.pressure to move towards more renewable energy sources,
:22:48. > :22:54.Ferrybridge came to a quiet end. And after a week of paddling, I have
:22:55. > :22:57.nearly reached the end as well. Goole is ideally situated to make
:22:58. > :23:03.best use of the British transport infrastructure. Big ships still pass
:23:04. > :23:06.through here and after the tranquillity of the canal, the
:23:07. > :23:14.hustle and bustle, the big and busy port is a bit of a shock. It is
:23:15. > :23:28.quite a welcome one. With a welcome reception... To your arms they? Yes
:23:29. > :23:32.they do. It is not that bad, it is a bit like walking, you are not
:23:33. > :23:40.breathing hard, you just move along at a nice pace, not as much effort
:23:41. > :23:45.to think. And after 162 miles of hard paddling, I have finished. With
:23:46. > :23:50.the North Sea in front of me and the Irish Sea 162 macro is behind me,
:23:51. > :23:54.this represents the end of a remarkable journey. We have passed
:23:55. > :23:59.through some interesting history and every person I have met has been as
:24:00. > :24:04.interesting as I could hope for. Once this route officially becomes
:24:05. > :24:09.England's first long-distance canoe Trail, it will breathe new life into
:24:10. > :24:17.what has to be one of Britain's man made -- greatest man-made wonders.
:24:18. > :24:25.The trilogy concludes. Sally, your biography is full of random facts.
:24:26. > :24:32.Canals, why do you love them? This is the hardest chat show I have been
:24:33. > :24:36.an! I do like canals. I love them in London, because they are the hidden
:24:37. > :24:42.side of London. Primrose hill, beautiful houses and then in the
:24:43. > :24:49.back, it is like they are undressed, all the gardens subside... Not good
:24:50. > :24:53.for insurance! I am intrigued by the fact that there is a problem with
:24:54. > :24:59.water squatters, people squatting on the canals and I want to know about
:25:00. > :25:06.them. There is a union for the women's canal boats. You should make
:25:07. > :25:09.a whole series. There is a speed limit of four miles per hour that
:25:10. > :25:20.the water police have to stick to as well. I amuse myself by imagining a
:25:21. > :25:31.police chase! You're going for a jog and overtaking them! We should do a
:25:32. > :25:40.film with you in it. I want to spend a week and do a canal boat holidays.
:25:41. > :25:43.Speak to Andy. In Bridget Jones' Baby, Richard is in a quandary
:25:44. > :25:51.because she does not know who the father of the child is, luckily I do
:25:52. > :25:56.not have that problem! Allegedly they say that every newborn looks
:25:57. > :26:02.like it father, which is true of my children. We have got a game and we
:26:03. > :26:07.felt we would take some of your co-stars and you have to guess who
:26:08. > :26:20.they are by the pictures of their father. It is quite hard but let us
:26:21. > :26:25.play Who's The Daddy! This first one is for you Renee, this is the father
:26:26. > :26:31.of another one of your Bridget Jones co-stars, so whose father is that do
:26:32. > :26:36.you reckon? I am cheating now. I think I know this man, I am pretty
:26:37. > :26:41.sure he is a golfer and I am pretty sure that his son went to a
:26:42. > :26:49.prestigious university. That is Hugh's dad. It is Hugh Grant's dad!
:26:50. > :26:56.Hugh once tried to give you an award but failed miserably, so why would
:26:57. > :27:02.that be? I was in the blue! The programme was a little bit out of
:27:03. > :27:07.order at the Golden Globes and I felt so awkward -- toilet. I had
:27:08. > :27:14.never been to the Golden Globes, I want to take a break and go for a
