:00:23. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones.
:00:27. > :00:32.Tonight's guest shot to fame when humiliated Mackenzie Crook in The
:00:32. > :00:34.Office, went on to humiliate Mark - - George Michael and thought
:00:34. > :00:38.nothing insulting half a Hollywood at the Golden Globes, but the
:00:38. > :00:45.starts keep coming back for more. The you have any idea who the
:00:45. > :00:49.leading lady is? In the Tim Burton film? Helena Bonham Carter? How did
:00:49. > :00:55.you know? They stand in the dark. She thinks you're an idiot. Have I
:00:55. > :01:05.done something to offend you? trashing me in front of 200 million
:01:05. > :01:11.
:01:11. > :01:17.people at the Golden Globes? It's Have I done something to offend
:01:17. > :01:21.you? Do you ever worry you are defending those people. No, because
:01:21. > :01:25.I know that I am -- defending. It is guaranteed I will offend someone.
:01:25. > :01:30.But because you are offended does not mean you are right. It goes to
:01:30. > :01:35.show he was not offended. That is part of the reason I got him in it
:01:35. > :01:41.because everyone was saying, Johnny Depp was so offended. No he wasn't!
:01:41. > :01:46.I called him out and it was funny. I get this once a week. Someone
:01:46. > :01:50.saying that I've offended someone else, usually. It is always someone
:01:50. > :01:55.offended on somebody else's behalf. It is ridiculous. Of course he is
:01:55. > :01:59.not offended. He is the richest and most handsome man in the world. Why
:01:59. > :02:03.will he care about a little man from Reading and not liking of the
:02:03. > :02:09.Tourist? We will talk more about the new show and the big stars any
:02:09. > :02:11.later. The first, Simon Boazman is in a sleepy town in country -- in
:02:11. > :02:21.Cumbria where the residents are waking up to take charge of their
:02:21. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:27.Beautiful, rolling hills, cobbled streets, and you might think that
:02:27. > :02:34.this place was a picturesque step back in time. But actually, it's at
:02:34. > :02:38.the forefront of a brand new way of thinking. Co-operatives may be as
:02:38. > :02:44.old as the hills that make this the highest market town in England, but
:02:44. > :02:48.what is going on here is something the rest of the UK can learn from
:02:48. > :02:54.because Alston more in Cumbria is somewhere that pulls together.
:02:54. > :02:59.there on the left we have Alston home foods come up and on the right
:02:59. > :03:05.-- writers abroad than transmitter. Batty's run by a local -- that is
:03:05. > :03:10.run by local social area company. What makes this so special is that
:03:10. > :03:18.there are 15 social enterprises for a relatively small population of
:03:18. > :03:20.about 2,500 people. Social enterprises, defined as a non
:03:21. > :03:24.profit businesses and services, owned and run by the local
:03:24. > :03:33.community members provide 90 jobs here and have a combined annual
:03:33. > :03:39.turnover of around �2.5 million. The Moody Baker is one of them. How
:03:39. > :03:44.does it work on a daily basis? it is like having a boss with four
:03:44. > :03:49.or five brains, or however many directors and employees you have,
:03:49. > :03:54.because it is like we all have an equal say. Since the start of the
:03:54. > :03:59.credit crunch in 2008, nationally, the co-operative sector has grown
:03:59. > :04:04.by 25 %, massively outperforming the wider British economy. When
:04:04. > :04:09.times are hard we do throttle back on the wages but only for the
:04:09. > :04:15.directors. The workers will be paid in the usual manner. We do not work
:04:16. > :04:21.for anyone, we work with each other to achieve an end. And it just
:04:21. > :04:24.seems to work. Next stop, the Alston cottage hospital. It was
:04:24. > :04:28.recently threatened with closure, but locals run a successful
:04:28. > :04:34.campaign to keep it op -- Open. Eleanor is in the middle of a
:04:34. > :04:40.consultation. It is my left hand. Her doctor is 25 miles away in
:04:40. > :04:44.Penrith. So there is inflammation of the tendons. Though the initial
:04:44. > :04:50.funding was provided by the Department of Health, this initial
:04:50. > :04:56.of a video link was only made possible by the enterprise. We went
:04:56. > :05:00.out and resourced the equipment and trained the staff and worked out
:05:00. > :05:04.the different red tape, and sorted out all of those issues and got the
:05:04. > :05:09.equipment in there, up and running and used. In the winter, Alston can
:05:09. > :05:12.be completely cut off and getting patients to and from the nearest
:05:12. > :05:16.hospital is difficult. But there are some more traditional solutions
:05:16. > :05:21.to the problems caused by bad weather, like this home-made snow
:05:21. > :05:26.plough. We get a lot of snow in the winter, and the last couple have
:05:26. > :05:31.been serious. Saying you don't know what to do doesn't get the road
:05:31. > :05:35.clear, does it? If you ring the county council and say your road is
:05:35. > :05:40.blocked, they say we are very sorry, our priority roads are the main
:05:40. > :05:43.roads and we are struggling to keep them open, which you can understand.
:05:43. > :05:48.While it will run under contract from the local authority, the
:05:48. > :05:51.snowplough belongs to Tony and his fellow villagers. We are on the end
:05:51. > :05:55.of the line as far as most of the services concerned. You cannot rely
:05:55. > :06:02.on the government to provide basic care for people and all this sort
:06:02. > :06:06.of thing. It is just an extended family. But are these community-
:06:06. > :06:09.based innovations born from necessity, as many have been,
:06:09. > :06:14.really ones that could work elsewhere in the UK? Could you put
:06:14. > :06:18.this model down in any town or city? Yes, one of the big things we
:06:18. > :06:22.do is bring people into Alston, show them a different social
:06:22. > :06:30.enterprises and say, this is how it works. We try to fire up their
:06:31. > :06:36.imagination so they can go back and Aren't you going past Colston?
:06:36. > :06:44.won my rickshaw, I am. If good luck with that. You will be all right.
:06:44. > :06:48.It will be higher up. Thank you, Simon. Simon. Ricky, are you into
:06:48. > :06:52.community spirit? Yes, as long as they leave me alone. They can't get
:06:52. > :06:56.past the gates and the lasers and the dogs. I got shutters on the
:06:56. > :07:01.windows. I often hide and pretend I am out if someone comes to the door.
:07:01. > :07:05.But I say yes, get on with it. Brilliant. Good luck, everyone.
:07:05. > :07:10.have an image of you in waders cleaning out the local pond. That
:07:10. > :07:15.won't happen. I will do anything to do with nature. I do love stuff to
:07:15. > :07:22.do with wildlife and nature. It's just talking to anyone else that I
:07:23. > :07:26.don't like. I love animals, it's the people that annoy me. Earlier
:07:26. > :07:33.on we saw a clip of Johnny Depp in your new series, Life's Too Short.
:07:33. > :07:38.Tell us about it. It is a return to the fake documentary format like
:07:38. > :07:42.The Office. I suppose The Office reflected those quaint documentary
:07:42. > :07:46.soaps of the 1990s with normal people being famous. But modern
:07:46. > :07:53.documentaries and reality shows are much more about the list
:07:53. > :07:55.celebrities living there life like an open wound. It is more like that.
:07:55. > :08:00.It is the fictional Warwick Davis, and it is a complete character,
:08:00. > :08:05.nothing like the real Warwick Davis. He is a great actor, brilliant,
:08:05. > :08:09.lovely, so rounded. I've never heard him complain. He is great. In
:08:09. > :08:16.this, he is manipulative, with a chip on his shoulder. It is not
:08:16. > :08:21.half an hour of gags about height, it is more that he has a small man
:08:21. > :08:26.complex. So it is about him being angry with the world. He exploits
:08:26. > :08:30.other dwarfs. He runs an agency and takes all the good acting jobs for
:08:30. > :08:34.himself, but rents bows out as bowling balls and things. It is
:08:34. > :08:38.about that, think -- really. have a moment from the first
:08:38. > :08:41.episode when he comes to see you and Stephen Merchant, and it is
:08:41. > :08:48.lovely. He has to charm a member of the public because he cannot reach
:08:48. > :08:56.the intercom. I have never seen you, mate. What have you been in?
:08:56. > :09:03.you seen Return Of the Jedi? Then he what? A Little Bear? Have you
:09:03. > :09:07.seen Willow? Just press the button please. Look at that,, the legends,
:09:07. > :09:12.Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. All mates, always popping round for
:09:12. > :09:22.a chat. You are always popping round. I thought we made the buzz
:09:22. > :09:25.
:09:25. > :09:29.of higher. You made a passer-by do Some would see it as a bit UN PC,
:09:29. > :09:33.especially the hilarious bit where he falls out of the car. How do you
:09:33. > :09:37.keep it on the right side of this? People are already saying that and
:09:37. > :09:40.they haven't seen it. They straightaway assume that it will be
:09:40. > :09:45.offensive because there is a dwarf involved, but that is their problem
:09:45. > :09:53.and prejudice. They assume it will be equal. Nothing could be further
:09:53. > :09:56.them from the truth. I don't know, there is no harm coming from
:09:56. > :10:02.discussing a taboo subject. That is why there is a problem, they are
:10:02. > :10:06.tableaux. If you talk about stuff intelligently, the problem is, some
:10:06. > :10:10.people confuse the target of a joke with the subject of a joke. You can
:10:10. > :10:16.talk about anything, you can talk about race, disability, as long as
:10:16. > :10:21.you know what you're doing with it. People will always be offended.
:10:21. > :10:27.There is nothing you can do about it. On that point, you recently
:10:27. > :10:31.offended quite a few people with disabilities. Recently? Always! I
:10:31. > :10:36.offend somebody once a week. You have to just carry on with what
:10:36. > :10:39.you're doing. I look at it in a Darwinian framework, you do what
:10:39. > :10:44.you do and you survive or you don't. If you keep trying to please
:10:44. > :10:47.everyone, you won't do anything. Nothing will be said. Some people
:10:48. > :10:54.are offended by equality or abortion. No I am not, I'm offended
:10:54. > :10:58.by those people, what are you going to do? The least Watchet, First!
:10:58. > :11:03.And if you don't like it, don't watch it again. Don't write me a
:11:03. > :11:08.letter, because no one's listening! You are not afraid of laughing at
:11:08. > :11:13.yourself. But very often I am the butt of the joke. It is my
:11:13. > :11:18.stupidity, getting stuff wrong. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a good
:11:18. > :11:23.example of that. Of course. You only deal in excruciating social
:11:23. > :11:27.faux pas, and that is what is funny, it is about middle-class angst. It
:11:27. > :11:31.is about our fear. When Warwick talks to people, he knows they are
:11:31. > :11:36.trying to avoid using the word little or Smalling conversation and
:11:36. > :11:41.he finds it hilarious. He wants them to chill-out. It is all right.
:11:41. > :11:46.Let's have a look at you inaction in that clip, this is you with
:11:46. > :11:51.Larry David. Thank you so much for coming. Oh my God! I can't believe
:11:51. > :11:56.it. It is signed. The funniest show in the history of television. I
:11:56. > :12:01.love the show. I wouldn't call it the funniest show in the history of
:12:01. > :12:10.television. This show was hilarious. Seinfeld, lovely show. The thank
:12:10. > :12:14.you, that was good. I love broad comedy. I will let the laugh track
:12:14. > :12:21.remind you when to laugh. We didn't do that. The it is a funny show,
:12:21. > :12:26.but it is odd to show up with your own DVD. I have never body --
:12:26. > :12:32.anybody showing up with something they were in, that is an odd thing.
:12:32. > :12:38.Trying to turn the tables there. All of it ad-libbed. You just go
:12:38. > :12:41.with it and you feel that a few times. Not only is he a bit of a
:12:41. > :12:47.hero of mine, possibly the most important person working in comedy
:12:47. > :12:51.today, but he ruins as many takes as I do. We were both laughing.
:12:51. > :12:56.Honestly, it was great. One of the highlights of my career. Such a
:12:56. > :12:59.pleasure. And when you go out for dinner with Larry David, it is like
:12:59. > :13:03.a two hour episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. It is great. I cannot
:13:03. > :13:07.get enough of him. Many people may not have heard of Slough until
:13:07. > :13:11.Ricky put it on the map, but 60 years ago this week Berkshire and
:13:11. > :13:15.it strikes when it became home to the very first zebra crossing.
:13:15. > :13:21.what was life like before the nation's roads were transformed by
:13:21. > :13:27.Alec of paint and some Belisha beacon? -- a lick of paint. John
:13:27. > :13:31.Sargent went to find out. Let me introduce you to Mr A. He acts
:13:31. > :13:40.normally, with a fried egg for breakfast, when it is opening time,
:13:40. > :13:49.but when it comes to the everyday Hurt, Altman? Never mind. It would
:13:49. > :13:54.be perfectly simple if it wasn't After the war, the number of cars
:13:54. > :13:57.was on the rise. By 1951, there were 4 million on the road.
:13:57. > :14:07.Pedestrian crossings and the Belisha beacon had been introduced,
:14:07. > :14:11.but they weren't doing much to cut The fact is, we have 4,500 people
:14:11. > :14:14.killed every year on the roads and at huge proportion of people just
:14:14. > :14:17.simply trying to cross. The crossings available there were
:14:17. > :14:21.studs and beacons and not the standardisation needed. Basically
:14:21. > :14:28.drivers were not respecting them. They were not stopping and driving
:14:28. > :14:35.through and pedestrians did not use Jim Callaghan took his campaign on
:14:35. > :14:38.the road. This week we are having a pedestrian crossing. Why? An awful
:14:38. > :14:41.lot of young people have grown up since we were using crossings
:14:41. > :14:47.before the war. I think a lot of people have forgotten about them
:14:47. > :14:50.since the war. The government's Road Research Laboratory had been
:14:50. > :14:55.experimenting. They developed something Mr Callaghan nicknamed
:14:55. > :15:00.the zebra. Tests confirmed it would make a real difference to motorists
:15:00. > :15:06.and pedestrians and they chose slayer -- Slough high street for
:15:06. > :15:09.the first permanent zebra crossing. Joan Jones remembers it well. This
:15:09. > :15:15.was where the first the bridge crossing was. It was. It was the
:15:15. > :15:22.main crossing to the main Post Office. This was the main road?
:15:22. > :15:26.London to Bath Road. It was a busy road. Drivers were very much more
:15:26. > :15:32.aware that it was a pedestrian crossing because of the black and
:15:32. > :15:35.white stripes. He in October 1951, regulations came into force
:15:35. > :15:43.requiring all and controlled pedestrian crossings to have zebra
:15:43. > :15:51.markings. Soon casualties were down by 7%. Slough continued to pioneer
:15:51. > :15:56.road safety with a big budget of �200,000. They experimented on road
:15:56. > :16:00.designs and on ways to make people more safety conscious. It worked.
:16:00. > :16:07.While national road for utilities continued to rise, in Slough they
:16:07. > :16:10.fell. By 10%. What is really important about this road is it is
:16:10. > :16:19.where my predecessors started experimenting with traffic lights.
:16:19. > :16:25.You stick to the speed limit,... This became known as the Greenway.
:16:25. > :16:34.What a safety campaign really need it was a personality. This looks
:16:34. > :16:40.dangerous. Will they see that car? I think I had better have a word. I
:16:40. > :16:44.was the Green Cross Code man for 14 years from 1976 to 1990. Road
:16:44. > :16:48.accident figures were 40,000 a year when we started. When we finished
:16:48. > :16:52.the campaign, they were down to 20,000 accident. A fantastic
:16:52. > :16:55.campaign. If you had been looking and listening all the way across,
:16:55. > :17:00.that wouldn't have happened. country's first ever zebra crossing
:17:00. > :17:05.has long gone, but plenty of black and white stripes can still be seen
:17:05. > :17:09.in Slough. We pour hot material and to this machine and that creates
:17:09. > :17:15.the marking on the road. Your father started his business. He did,
:17:15. > :17:22.60 years ago. He started his business, marking zebra crossings.
:17:22. > :17:29.He did the first one in Slough. is happy 60th birthday to the first
:17:29. > :17:39.zebra crossing in the country. John! Remember, stop, look, listen
:17:39. > :17:43.
:17:43. > :17:50.John is in the studio. Wearyingly, zebra crossings could become
:17:50. > :17:55.extinct. -- worrying me. mustn't worry too much. It is up to
:17:55. > :18:00.reach local authority. They tend to go in the country areas, but in the
:18:00. > :18:03.towns and cities, they will tend to stay. It all depends. Some people
:18:03. > :18:09.find, when they are crossing them, they are not sure whether they
:18:09. > :18:15.should be crossing. It can be tricky. That moment when you are
:18:15. > :18:20.wondering... I have been worrying about this for quite a while. They
:18:20. > :18:26.are going to still be around? of them will be around, but not so
:18:26. > :18:33.much in the country. You must relax. I can carry on -- carry on worrying
:18:33. > :18:37.about the panda! What is the future of valour crossings. The one in
:18:37. > :18:41.Oxford Circus, they are terribly proud of, because it has a cross
:18:41. > :18:46.and you don't cross just across, you go diagonally. That was brought
:18:46. > :18:50.in two years ago and that is regarded as very successful. More
:18:50. > :18:55.of those can be expected. You will bump into each other! You are
:18:55. > :18:59.walking. In Japan they don't because they are really alike. We
:18:59. > :19:06.just say get out the way! We are all extremely well behaved, you
:19:06. > :19:10.haven't been out much. I don't go out. And agreed to listing. That is
:19:10. > :19:15.the most famous zebra crossing in the world and that is in Abbey Road.
:19:15. > :19:20.I hope you know where that is from. Indeed, and it has a webcam. You
:19:21. > :19:28.can view it online. If you want to see people crossing the road.
:19:28. > :19:35.you have no life! Well, earlier on... Up let's do that. I've got a
:19:36. > :19:45.webcam. Save you time, have a look. They have a message for you, Ricky.
:19:46. > :19:53.
:19:53. > :19:57.Big fans of your work. We love Thank you, brilliant. This year for
:19:57. > :20:03.Children In Need, Matt will peddle a rickshaw from Edinburgh to London
:20:03. > :20:13.in just eight days. I did have a little go myself just to see how
:20:13. > :20:28.
:20:28. > :20:37.difficult it was and it is not as Just ruined the rickshaw. I feel
:20:37. > :20:40.awful. Let's get out and move it. Great! Thank you. I was doing
:20:40. > :20:44.training today in Richmond Park and the wheel was buckled, I had to
:20:44. > :20:50.repair it. It I wasn't going to say anything, I didn't know they would
:20:50. > :20:57.show that. How was training today in Richmond? Hills are not getting
:20:58. > :21:04.any better. That woman is walking alongside me. That was to give me
:21:04. > :21:11.some money. She caught up easily. You need all the help you can get,
:21:11. > :21:19.it looks like you're on a pedalo. Eight days! Downhill is great for
:21:19. > :21:24.top is this actually going out on television? Yes. Wow! All of this
:21:24. > :21:28.effort will be nothing if people don't donate to Children In Need.
:21:28. > :21:32.It will get even better in the second. We want you to do the
:21:32. > :21:35.honours and let people know how they can donate. Pudsey has been
:21:35. > :21:41.learning the David Brent dance from The Office. The sooner you give out
:21:41. > :21:51.the details, the better. Has he still got a bad I? National Health
:21:51. > :21:52.
:21:52. > :22:02.Service, get that sorted out. off and running. Read it, Ricky.
:22:02. > :22:19.
:22:19. > :22:23.you want to donate, text there were If you can donate, please do. And
:22:24. > :22:33.you, Ricky! There is a bloke in that there wanted to play Chekhov
:22:34. > :22:35.
:22:35. > :22:42.at the National. Anyway, yes. sit down. Back to your old show.
:22:42. > :22:49.Let's have a look at Liam Neeson popping in. I am here because I am

:22:57. > :23:04.comedy, live comedy. OK. Tring. are closed. Her a thing the shop
:23:04. > :23:08.has to be opened for the sketch. -- I think. Tring. Yes? I'd like to
:23:08. > :23:13.make a complaint. I bought some fruit yesterday and when I got home
:23:14. > :23:19.some of it was rotten. That's not my fault. It's your shop and it was
:23:19. > :23:29.sold on your premises. I wasn't here. Doesn't matter. I was at the
:23:29. > :23:29.
:23:29. > :23:34.doctor's. That's really good. You Liam Neeson asking you for some
:23:34. > :23:43.career advice. And he says the most horrendous things which you have to
:23:43. > :23:46.cut out. Not a problem! I've been censored. We found some people in
:23:46. > :23:52.the paper's today who we thought might need a bit of advice. Here we
:23:52. > :23:56.go. First of all it has been a difficult few weeks for the Greek
:23:56. > :24:04.prime minister. Greece might run out of money in two weeks' time.
:24:05. > :24:10.The solution is? Up get a catalogue, h-t catalogue. Everything is 28
:24:10. > :24:14.weeks at 38p. Get it from that. shop has apologised after
:24:14. > :24:18.apparently refusing to sell a 92- year-old woman, Diane Taylor, a
:24:18. > :24:28.bottle of whisky because she couldn't prove her age. That is
:24:28. > :24:29.
:24:29. > :24:38.unbelievable! It is the law. No yd. What if it turns out she was just a
:24:38. > :24:42.really stressed her nine-year-old? Quite right. No ID, no whisky.
:24:42. > :24:46.Sir a Arthur Conan Doyle created Sherlock Holmes, he made him a
:24:46. > :24:51.virtuoso on the violin. Following the recent anniversary of his birth,
:24:51. > :24:54.we sent Anita Rani to his home town of Edinburgh to find out how his
:24:54. > :25:04.favourite childhood garden has become a memorial to the great
:25:04. > :25:05.
:25:05. > :25:10.The legend has it that whilst Arthur Conan Doyle Klein sycamore
:25:10. > :25:16.trees here, the seeds were sown for arguably the world's greatest
:25:16. > :25:21.fictional detective. What is the relevance of this garden in the
:25:21. > :25:24.life of Arthur Conan Doyle? When he was about four, his family's life
:25:24. > :25:28.had more or less disintegrated. This was where he played, a
:25:28. > :25:32.sanctuary. He would have played with his elder sister and it would
:25:32. > :25:41.have been the kind of place that would give rise to his own stories.
:25:41. > :25:46.He had had plenty of stories from his parents. A few years later, now
:25:46. > :25:51.a physician, he mixed his medical knowledge with his own instinct for
:25:51. > :25:55.storytelling, creating Sherlock Holmes. This house is now home to a
:25:55. > :26:00.school and when the 200 year-old Sycamore recently had been chopped
:26:00. > :26:03.down due to disease, they ensured what was left behind was a fitting
:26:03. > :26:09.memorial to the classic case of the Hound Of the Baskervilles. But the
:26:09. > :26:14.school didn't stop there. They enlisted local master craftsman
:26:14. > :26:20.Steve to brief be unique new life into the husk of the sick sycamore.
:26:20. > :26:25.Violins? That's right. This is where I do my violin making.
:26:25. > :26:29.did you get involved? They thought wouldn't it be great if we had a
:26:29. > :26:34.violin made from the St? I thought it was fantastic. Is that the
:26:34. > :26:39.actual tri? This is part of the tree. It is a piece of art on its
:26:39. > :26:45.own. Goodwood. Was there to challenge? It certainly was. I had
:26:45. > :26:51.been doing a lot of exercises and experiments with the method I used
:26:51. > :26:55.for sheer luck. Is this the sort of violent Sherlock Holmes might play?
:26:55. > :27:01.He played a Stradivarius. This violin is modelled on something
:27:01. > :27:06.else. In the world you have two main makers and some makers go for
:27:06. > :27:09.strut are various. The other one is quite masculine. It has been
:27:09. > :27:19.Italian spirit that would have helped Sherlock Holmes solve his
:27:19. > :27:24.
:27:24. > :27:28.But Steve didn't just stop there. He went on to create an entire
:27:28. > :27:32.string quartet from the service -- very same sycamore and where better
:27:32. > :27:39.to hear it played for the first time than in the Read Hall at
:27:39. > :27:44.Edinburgh University? Quite rightly, the quartet are playing Mensa, one
:27:44. > :27:48.of homes's favourites. -- Mendelssohn. The violin's role
:27:48. > :27:52.plays a larger -- larger part in our possession but so it --
:27:52. > :27:58.Sherlock Holmes. Why did he put a violin in the hands of Sherlock
:27:58. > :28:04.Holmes? Fenham Brooke was a place of music. -- Edinburgh. In order to
:28:04. > :28:09.keep Sherlock Holmes you run, he gets a violin. Music talks to us in
:28:09. > :28:14.a language much more profound and saying much more serious and
:28:14. > :28:22.beautiful things to ask than words can ever do. Conan Doyle, as a
:28:22. > :28:32.great wordsmith, realised that. News it takes on that quality. --
:28:32. > :28:35.
:28:35. > :28:39.Thank you. Ricky, you have some grand plans for Poppy Day. Yes, I
:28:39. > :28:44.am doing a big charity concert for wounded soldiers with Bruce
:28:44. > :28:53.Springsteen. Amazing. I did it last year, it is a cause close to my
:28:54. > :29:00.heart. What a bonus, with Bruce. Her good luck. Thing gee macro for
:29:00. > :29:06.coming in. Life's Too Short starts next Thursday at 9:30pm on BBC Two.
