02/11/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

Tonight's guest is a chef and seasoned campaigner who's proving

he's not afraid to get his hands dirty in his new war on waste.

Please welcome Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall.

We have had a sculpture made of him entirely of waste material!

APPLAUSE Come on over! What do you reckon, do

you like that? Isn't that lovely? Nice to see you.

Have a seat. My twin, unbelievable. We have to

say thank you to artist Michelle Reader who made that especially for

this evening. He looks angry. He's issuing a war on waste. This is the

thing, because it encompasses food and all sorts, but what springs to

mind obviously is the weekend, Halloween. There must have been a

lot of waste pumpkin going around? We throw away thousands of tonnes of

pumpkins which is insane. It's a very obvious form of waste. But

actually, we are also throwing away hundreds of thousands of tonnes of

vegetables every year and that's a hidden waste. That's in the

supermarkets supply chains. Incredible shots of parsnips that

we'll be showing later on. We'll talk about your war on waste more

later. But first, gardeners of Britain,

imagine your hard work being Nick's been to meet the Huddersfield

homeowners involved in a turf war This is a special place. How long

have you been working on it? 20 years. It's an Oasis isn't it? It's

paradise to me. When it comes to planning applications, most any more

byes are against housing developments. In Huddersfield lies a

tasty piece of land, the sort of place the Government had in mind

when it told councils to develop areas for housing development.

Trouble is, a big slice is gardens belonging to these houses, or rather

leased to them by the council. The council want to sell the land

off and put 39, 40 houses on the land. How much does this garden mean

to you? It means everything. It means peace, security. Some people

have lived here 40 years. It's a tale of woe repeated up and down the

street. I'll be really disappointed if the

council take our garden. We love to play in it, the kids love it, the

rabbits love it, it would be such a terrible shame.

This is where the houses would be. Some have invested thousands

converting out buildings. This has all just been carpeted. These are

breeding fish tanks. We've got fish, tad poles, chicken, for all that to

be taken away, it would be devil stating.

Andrew Cooper is the local Green Party councillor. There is a

desperate need f houses in this area. Why can't these sites be used?

Well, there's plenty of alternatives, brown field sites,

there's one not very far from here, an old mill site which has been

granted planning permission but has been left undeveloped since 2009.

But brown field sites are often contaminated, making them expensive

to develop. There is no question the council has

the right to end the leases but the truth is, they've got a fight on

their hands and they know it. Six years ago, the residents fought off

a similar attempted land grab. With Kirklees Council needing to

find space for 20,000 new homes, the land's back in the planning mix,

though nothing has yet been decided. I think people are concerned. The

stage we are at at the moment, we are putting ideas out to consulation

and they have a right to object and the council will decide next summer.

I believe there would be enormous psychological problems taking away

things that people have had for 40 years in some cases. It's really

important that all the residents put in their individual letters, and

from the children who tell their own story, as to why they think we

shouldn't be using this land. That's all we are talking about at the

moment, zoning the land. The public consultation starts next week.

Mother nature at its best... They're tasty.

It's all I've done since I were a kid, pigeons. They told us nine

years ago that we could go ahead with the buildings and everything,

and we paid for planning permission and everything. Nine years down the

road, they tell you you've got to get rid. Near the bottom of the row,

a horse sanctuary. The kids would be lost without these animals. They

feed them. Councils all over the country are

under pressure to earmark land so if you lease a garden from the council,

you might want to check the small print.

Domino... He'd be lost without this land. Where would he go? Once this

has gone, that's their home gone because they just return here, they

won't go anywhere else, they'll just come here all the time.

Checking that small print is the key because apparently the residents are

on different lease lengths and what have you but the council can end it

at any time they want. They put a huge amount of effort in there

though? Absolutely. Those places are extensions of their home, living

space. What you can say is you wouldn't want that to happen to you

or anyone you care about. The latest campaign starts, War on Waste

tonight. Who is the enemy this time? I think the enemy is waste itself

and it's something that we see in so many forms but perhaps the most

pernicious kind of waste of all is food waste. This is stuff farmers

grow and we nurture to feed us to make us healthy and strong and if we

are chucking loads of it away, that's got to be wrong. There's

waste of all different stages. We have some incredible shots of these

parsnips, I mean just mountains of them. Where is this? This is in

Norfolk. This is a Norfolk family farm, the Hammonds, they have been

growing parsnips for Morrisons for 30 years, three generations. So

those trolley loads are not going to the supermarket? No, that is the

waste. One weeks' waste. We got 28 trolleys on the other hand was 10%

of one week and the huge pile behind was the rest. 20,000 tonnes of

parsnips wasted in the course of a week. Is that because it's ugly veg,

it's not the right length or doesn't work for the shelf? Ugly is a strong

word. It's not the kind of three-legged wonky parsnips here,

it's almost the perfect ones. You or I could not tell there was anything

wrong with it. It might be five mill metres too thick at the fat end and

these farmers asked Morrisons to relax the standards so they could

sell more produce, the irony being they had had a good harvest and the

parsnips were bigger than usual but they wouldn't do it. As long as they

taste like parsnips, to we mind? We have to let the supermarkets know we

don't mind because they put the blame back on us. They say it's our

fault for not buying this stuff so we have set up a website whereby we

can tell the supermarkets we will accept this food that will be

thrifty with our own waste too and we want them to do something about

theirs. A lot of the supermarkets have plevenlinged their unsold food

will help community projects and Morrisons over the weekend is the

latest, so what do you think of their proposals. It's quite a

coincidence isn't it? It seems like a coincidence, 48-hours beforehand,

they decide to give their surplus food to the needy. Let's give them

credit, I'm very interested in this word "all" it's a small but very big

word, are they really going to go back to the farm and make sure none

of this produce is wasted, are they just talking about the stuff that

has the best before date in the supermarket? If they are going to go

back in the supply chain, back to the dope pose and farms, rescue all

that food and redistribute it, that would be fantastic.

Talking about potential waste and use by dates and what have you, you

go round, start digging around people's bins in Prestwich, let's

have a look at you in bin action. Thank you so much!

What is it? Bacon. That's got another two weeks to go. I know but

it's been opened. How long? About three days. Do you know what that

smells like to me. Good bacon. There is a lot that we could do at

home. Surely we are getting better? We are getting better. In the last

ten years we have cut our food waste at home by about 20%, but there is a

long way to go, because half of that waste we are talking about is us at

home so we can really step up and if we are going to ask the supermarkets

to change, we have to be ready to make our own efforts so being nifty

with your leftovers and being relaxed with the best-before dates,

it's only a guide, you know, it's not going to kill you. How relaxed?

Very. You have to trust your own judgment. The dates are

conservative, based on the fact that the shopping might send hours in the

back of the car and the fridge might not work so you are the judge as to

whether you can eat that staff, not the date on the packet. Smell it.

I'm the judge when it comes to milk. I know that you have a passion for

marine life. We were in California together. What a great time. Miranda

has been to tackle a deep sea death trap off the Cornish coast.

Off our coasts, there's danger lurking beneath the waves. Lost or

abandoned fishing equipment can cause massive damage to marine life

and wildlife habitats. It's also a danger to fishermen and divers who

come across it, like these guys who discover add huge net here in

Cornwall. The Rocky pinnacles are a marine conservation zone, home to

some of our most beautiful aquatic species. A lost net can cause huge

damage here, so local dive operator mark Millburn is leading an

operation to remove it. We are over the reef at the moment. Where is the

net? The mouth of the net is probably ten, 15 metres widend then

the length of the whole trawl is at least 20 metres long probably. It's

vast? It's a big, big net, yes. It's already smashed off the pink hard

corals which are a rare species, any life that was underneath them,

because it stretched across it. This will be a complex operation

requiring experienced divers. The water is murky and tidal cur rents

are strong so there is only a short time win debetween the tides and the

base of the net is deep so dives must be short because of the risk of

decompression sickness. Swimming towards the net at the

moment. Here it is. It's absolutely vast!

It's standing like a tower in front of me. And it's a huge piece of net,

it's absolutely vast. Look at that! You can see the buoys that would

have kept it afloat. It's clear that this would be here

for a very long time if the divers didn't take it away.

It's not biodegradeable. It's made of strong materials, some sort of

plastic. It's going to be here for a long time.

A lost net like this can become a death trap for marine life.

Once caught, animals will drown, starve or be eaten by other

wildlife. Mark gets to work, he attaches

inflatable bags to make sure the net will rise straight up once freed

rather than drifting away. Now, he and his buddy are ready to

start to cut. The net is trapped around 30 metres below the surface.

They won't have much time to identify which bits of the net to

cut in the dark and murky water. That is my cue to get out of the

water now. Mark's just about to cut the net. We have knell idea how

quickly it will rise to the surface. I need to get out of here. 28 metres

down, the net is grinding against the fragile reef.

Mark has about 20 minutes to cut the net free.

If he doesn't complete the task and only weakens, the net, it may break

free and drift off to wreak havoc elsewhere.

But, as he perseveres, the net starts to shift.

Mark hits a problem. One of the ropes holding the net is made from

wire and it's beginning to blunt his knife. He has to quickly cut around

the wire to free the rest of the net. A few final swipes and at last

the net is released. Here we go, all the buoys are coming

to the surface. Look at that. That's the net coming to the surface of the

water. A successful mission. Now, all we have to do is to tow the

net back to shore, careful to avoid it snagging on any of the submerged

rocks. On a nearby beach, the local in shore fisheries and conservation

authority are ready and waiting to take it away.

It is incredible what goes on in the waters. Fishermen are checking and

lack of task and cleaning up the sea and Sarah is life as in Peterhead to

tell us more about that. Good evening! -- is live in Peterhead.

Welcome, this is Europe's premier fishing port. All the boats are out

of the harbour, they are busy, but an astounding 2000 tonnes of fish

landed here each week but fishermen are being encouraged to land a

different sort of catch, it is called Fishing for Litter and Bertie

Armstrong is Chief Executive of Scottish fishermen 's Federation and

James Stevens is a skipper. How does this work? It used to be that

fishermen bringing back the debris from the sea bed would have to pay

for disposal but that does not work and under the new scheme they can

fill the bags provided and bring it back and it is disposed of for

nothing so everybody wins. How long have you been a skipper? 35 years.

What problems does that cause? It can be a hazard to the safety of the

ship and it can damage the trolls and we lose time repairing them and

that can be a problem. You take these bags out to sea, how

satisfying is to fill this bag and landed onshore? Satisfying because

we're moving the debris from the sea and that means healthy stock. Other

things you have picked up? Washing machines, a tumble dryer! There you

go, a huge amount of litter is picked up in the sea and before me

is a vast collection of rubbish and to talk me through this is Graham

Humphries. You have an umpire of rubbish. Talk me through this. This

is part of the catch, this is metal from this depth charge chasing,

casing, nets, right down to this plastic bottle from a bathroom. How

damaging is this? Hugely damaging, to wildlife in general, mammals can

get caught up in this and suffer from horrific injuries and died and

that plastic bottle will break down into smaller pieces and will get

eaten by sea birds and 96% of the Northern Fulmer has this much

plastic in its stomach, but would we half a pound so you can imagine how

that would make you feel. It seems that the message from Fishing for

Litter is no matter the size of your boat, every piece of litter taken

from the sea will help. Back to the studio. Thank you.

And we're going to be harbourside on Friday night when Team Rickshaw

arrive in Padstow, our first port of call.

This year we've got two Georges in Team Rickshaw, and we're about

to hear why the music loving George G is riding with Matt and the team.

Before we do, here's a little message from another TV food lover.

The very best of luck to Team Rickshaw, I know just how hard

everyone has been training for the challenge so here is to raising a

lot of money for Children in Need! My name is George, I am 16 years

old, I am a musician and this is my musical lair. This is a poster of

mine, I saw Billy Elliot... These are all of my DVDs. One of my

favourites, this is Annie. I like conducting musicals. We got married

and we knew that we wanted at least one child and I went to the doctor

and I remember this very young nurse and she said, I have your results

and your baby is trisomy 21, the medical term for Down's syndrome.

Would people accept our baby? That was overwhelming, terrifying. We

were told that George might not walk or talk. That creates a lot of

exciting as parents. Some people had said to me, it is going to be so

disappointing when you first told him. I looked at him and I loved

him, he was perfect. -- hold. He feels things deeply so if he is

happy he is really happy and if he is sound, he is desolate. It is a

struggle for him to give up but if people appreciate that his

processing is a little bit slower, he is very keen to be included. It

is quite hard for me having Down's syndrome, when everybody talks to

fast, I cannot keep up and whenever they laugh or talk to loudly, I do

not really like it. I love music. It rings me joy. Music is my thing. He

was interested in the violin from the age of seven or eight. It is

very difficult. Violin, that is George. I will be doing that! It did

sound absolutely awful for about five years! If I am honest... ! I

just did my grade two and I had a distinction. He went to Pro Corda

and fell in love with the place. It is a music school and we go for

skills onstage translate into everyday life and social skills and

it has been magical to see George over the past couple of years

developing. Whenever George Groves look Pro Corda, you can see him

coming back more independent. -- George goes to. He is going to the

gym every day. I feel that it is going to be hard to start with. We

cycle around Richmond Park, we do it at night with the dear! It might be

hard because of the rain. And sucking at night. He my eating salad

Artsnight! Salad! I think that George will be a quiet leader, he is

incredibly funny so he will make the team laugh a lot. I do not like

waking up very early in the morning! No way! I am very proud of him. He

realises that through the money that he raises, lots of other children

will benefit from the same opportunities he has had. Everybody

who knows me and does not know me, please give your money to Children

in Need! And start donating right now! Wells said! He is such a Jim!

A question that every adult needs to ask themselves... At what point do

you grow up and put away childhood obsessions? If you remember the

Nottingham hip-hop scene in 1983, the answer is never! These

Nottingham fathers have been following their dancing dream ever

since they were teenagers. They have! Before the show was their

moves, here is what happened whenever Iwan went to meet them! My

proudest moment on strictly, I was break dancing my way out of the

competition! Today, the sequence might be gone but the trainers are

back on because I am eating a bunch of men who are the ultimate dad

dancers. The Rock city nightclub, a mecca for UK break dancing in the

1980s. Today, it is home once again for some ageing fans of that scene.

Celebrated in a film about the city due out next year called NG83. The

brainchild of Claude. It is something I felt very passionately

about, the hip-hop and break dancing scene, it broke down racial

barriers, there was lots of racism at that time and with this new

culture, I got into the crew and that is what it is about. What have

you gone on to do? I and the postman. When you deliver the post,

do you do some break dancing? Whenever any chewing gums on the

office, I might give a little bit of a wave! I am a mental or in the

school. I will do shows, workshops, weddings. Dance. I am a civil

servant. I was a kid on the north side of Nottingham and I had a very

cheap stereo and you would switch it on and suddenly you're legs would

take on a very different way of walking. -- your legs. I had a

stroke in 2009. In 1980 60 went to Beirut to teach break dancing for

six weeks and I met Terry Waite and Muhammad Ali. I will get a lot of

applause whenever they see me in that room! I know feel part of that

crew so I have joined the hundreds who have turned up today. The

highlight of the afternoon is the over 40s competition, which

immediately call a dance off, and not before I get a chance to show my

own moves! Being here really brings home what the boys have told me

about this scene, being a way of life for them and their families.

All they have ever known is their dad dancing, my grandson dances as

well, he is a local B-Boy. You have passed down those skills? Yes. Once

they get optimisers, they will be clearing out my wardrobe so that I

can have more space! This fashion has come around again so I can bring

the old wardrobe backfired! I work crops at home! To top the day off,

Jay wins the competition. If you had one memory of the B-Boy days, what

would that we? Friendship, that is still here today, having all these

friends through hip-hop. That is my lasting memory, friendship.

You can see War on Waste at 9pm on BBC One at 11pm on BBC One Scotland.

Tomorrow, the hypnotic Derren Brown will be here.

But before that, we'll leave you with some dance

Take it away, lads - or should I say dads?

This is Scooby. And here is the postman. Father of two. Making way

for Nasty Nice. He is single, so if you're interested... ! And this is

Craze, 47, still going strong. And here it is Millsy, he has got B-Boy

children, 47 years old! Oh! This is outstanding stuff! And wrapping

things
