02/11/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker

Tonight we're talking childhood - and asking how things have changed

We're celebrating the bond between young people

And we're discovering ingenious ways of getting them up in the morning!

Let's look at this. Two dogs on the bed, three dogs! So what were our

guests like as children? One of them kept bringing

injured pigeons home Another was called in to

the headmaster's office for laying Well, it's a long story involving

a school trip, a water pistol So who did these strays

and delinquents grow up to be?! Please welcome Sir Chris Hoy MBE,

Dame Esther Rantzen Welcome, one and all. So we've got

someone titles with your names and Cheryl, now you are officially just

Cheryl. It feels like a fresh start. You enjoying life at the moment? I

am great. Yourself? Always happy. Not a lot of changes for us. Do you

still bring home injured pigeons? I would. It was not just pigeons, it

was anything that was suffering. I have had every type of animal in the

house. I could give you my hamster to look after. Around London, there

is busily plenty pigeons. I will go and have a look after this.

Later, someone Cheryl knows all about,

X-Factor star Rebecca Ferguson will be singing her new

I really like that. I was listening to the album earlier. It is

beautiful. Cheryl and Esther have

teamed up for the 30th anniversary of ChildLine,

a cause we are always happy Volunteers say there's been a big

rise in the number of teenage girls contacting them for issues

such as low self-esteem, depression and self-harm

in the last three years. But Trish discovered young people

have other things on their mind too, It's 3:30pm and school is out at

this academy in Leicestershire. A group of pupils from years eight and

ten have agreed to stay on for a bit of an experiment. We want to find

out just what kids worry about today, and if their parents know

what those worries are. As a mother of two teenage boys, this could be

an education from me. Time to get some answers. What do teenagers

worry about? Feeling my GCSEs or A-levels, never getting a job. There

is a lot of stress from teachers and parents. It is like you do not have

a break from it for the next two years. I agree. I finished year six

and I thought your seven was going to be the year when I was not too

bothered about tests and then I have to worry about GCSEs. Already?! You

hear that on the news, there is not enough jobs, and employment and all

of that. It doesn't help. Do you worry at this age? Yes, because I

don't want to be homeless! Do you really believe that if you do not

get the right education, you will end up homeless? That is what the

teachers keep stressing. If you do not get GCSEs, we will find it very

hard. What other things do you worry about? I worry about terrorism

because my dad travels a lot. And I worried that he is going to get

caught up in it. People say it is all just on the news but it is

actually quite real. It happened in France and Belgium. And that is

close. The war in Syria, the tensions between the West and

Russia, it worries you about what will happen in the future. But you

are 12 and you should be just worrying about what is on the Xbox

and PlayStation! The Den signed in technology, you are exposed to a lot

of what is happening in the world. Do you speak to your parents and

guardians about it? I would rather that to my friends than my parents

because they do not want them to worry about me. There are some

things I do not talk to my mum about, rent boys and crushes, that

kind of area. I have told my mum if I had had a crush but not as much

detail as I going into with my friends! Sitting next door, the

parents. What do they think their kids worry about? They probably

worry quite a lot about school and fitting in with their peers. What

group somebody is in, or out. At the age, I think they worry more about

what they look like generally. Keeping up with everybody else. Just

feeling as if they are fitting in. Time to let our mothers and fathers

in on those worries. War is going on in other places around the world.

Like parents everywhere, they are both proud and surprised by their

offspring. Not you, necessarily, just in general. I was surprised

that you were worried about being homeless. Don't ever worry about

that! I would like to say how proud I am. You do not need to worry about

your GCSEs. You know you can always be to your parents if you have any

concerns. That is a good feeling that you confirm that. It has been a

real eye-opener today. The first thing I'm going to do when I get all

this find out what my boys are worried about and give them a big

soppy case. I'm sure a lot of parents are killing exactly the

same. -- big soppy kiss. Esther - you have three children,

going back 20 years, Did you have a lot of open

discussion? We had that old-fashioned bit of furniture, a

kitchen table and we used to have meals together. People don't do that

much now. At that time, everyone could talk about their worries, what

had happened to them during the day but even so, it was not until well

after, when my son had left school, that he reveals to me that he had

been bullied for two years. And I never knew about it at the time. So

I think we really do have to work really hard to make sure our kids

talk to us. You find that a lot, that kids just don't have the

courage to talk to somebody. That is why ChildLine is absolutely amazing

because it is completely confidential. You do not even have

to speak to someone on the phone, you can have a chat online, like

texting a friend. If there are more comfortable ways on the website,

whatever your problem is, then just reach out. That is the thing,

because social media and the rest of it, those kids were saying it is

because they hear so much about the news, they worry about terrorism,

Ian homeless at the do not do well in their exams. It is unavoidable,

really. But when we were kids, that was not really the case. Childhood

was much more of a bubble in my view. It was all of my house, and of

course the rich stuff going on at school, but these days the world

comes in and so often it is bad news. If I can imagine a children's

newspaper called first news, something that puts the news into

context in a factual and reassuring way. It is very good. Chris, what

were your worries? Were they about sport? It was interesting, listening

to that piece, I would say that exams were the biggest stress. That

hasn't changed but obviously technology has created a different

dimension to the stress that children experience. They do not

have that protection of coming home... And being able to talk it

out with their parents. And you had a big family, Cheryl. What were your

worries when you look back to being 13 or 14? I was just a general

worrier. It is just in my nature. I would worry about the world. I would

be worried sick if I saw something on the news. And I was actually

quite depressed as a teenager, to be honest. I didn't enjoy my teenage

years at all. I found them really tough. Why was that? Just the

stress, the pressure of going home and your parents want you to do

well. You go to school in the school want you to do well and you feel

like you're going to be a failure if you don't. It is just a lot of stuff

that goes on. Even chemically, we were talking about that earlier,

your hormones play a huge part in teenage years, in how you feel. It

is really hard being a teenager. I would not going to -- I would not go

back to my teenage years for love nor money. And you have done loads

to campaign and help young people. You set up this foundation. Tell us

about this? Because I completely relate to Newcastle, it is my heart

and where I am from. I would like to spread it out eventually but really

I just want to help young people. The next generation, to have hope,

to have opportunity. I have a centre that hopefully will help 4000 people

a year. I think seeing and hearing you talk about it so frankly and

honestly, it makes a huge difference. It is why she is such a

wonderful ambassador for young people, because people think she has

got everything, she is rich and famous, beautiful, the red carpet,

and she knows everybody and travels everywhere, and yet... It is the

honesty that cuts through that. You have had those opportunities but you

have sampled the life where it has not been so privileged. Absolutely.

I grew up with nothing. Aside from that, I think it is important that

young people recognise that life is not perfect. Life is not an

Instagram photo, or what they say on social media. You are going to have

hardship on hard times, and having support, somebody to turn to, that

is important. But to be honest, it is hard when you have all that going

on. What is your key message? Thinking back to yourself, what

would you have told yourself back then? Not to worry so much. To try

to relax, and talk more, but how I'm feeling. And I need to stress to

people but whatever it is you are going through, you come through it.

You get through it. You have to do that. It seems worse when you are

that age. It all comes out in the wash. But you have got a 2-year-old,

Chris, so as a dad, you are thinking ahead and there are so many issues

for children. Maybe more stress than when we were young. How are you

approaching at and what worries you? It was not worrying until you

mentioned it! At the moment it is just one step at a time but there is

worry. You do not realise you have these things to worry about until

you become a parent. I was at the pride of Britain awards the other

night, seeing these incredibly emotional stories about children and

it hits you right there. Before you become a parent, you do not realise

how much more you feel. It is not the same connection, I suppose. I

have no doubt that there will be huge worries and stress but also a

lot of fun times. And your perspective on life, how that

changes, moving from that structured life, 11 times World Champion, six

time Olympian, and now dad. It is a very selfish lifestyle. By nature,

you have to focus on yourself. To become a parent, it is a wonderful

thing, you get perspective and a new outlook on life. In many ways, I

wonder, to be a parent when you are competing must be a nice thing

because it is all pretty irrelevant, how stressed you get about your

sport. And you have to do it all with half an hour's sleep! Even more

impressive. ChildLine has helped 4 million

people in its many years, but as Esther Rantzen has pointed out,

there is one group who unfortunately did not ask for help. I am on my way

to Rotherham where the system failed hundreds of abused children for 16

years. We informed the police over 2000 times. And what happened?

Nothing. Reports condemned not only the police but the local authority.

It is hard to describe the appalling nature of the abuse that the child

victims suffered. They feel is to get action or even acknowledge it

was happening. They were too scared or afraid. Help could have been a

phone call away. All these young people, they were victims of

terrible crimes, and yet not one of them had thought of reaching out to

ChildLine. It would have been the only safe way that they could get

comfort and protection. And we could rescue them. Helping me try to

figure out why ChildLine didn't occur to them as a source of help is

youth worker, Jane Senior. How are you? Jane was one of the original

whistle-blowers that exposed what happened in Rotherham. With the help

of survivors of abuse and some of their parents, we are working

together to develop a smartphone app that we hope will connect with young

people. Tell your story. I was 14 and I met a woman who helped me in

her flat for ten weeks. It was a clear case of child sexual

exportation. What really distresses me is that you didn't get in touch

with ChildLine. Can you explain why that was? It was at that age when

you are going stuff like that and you do not see herself as a child.

So I would not have picked up the phone and rang ChildLine. You

thought of yourself as a woman? So therefore you did not think the

ChildLine was for you? No. Many of the Rotherham survivors are now in

their 20s but the message is the same with dozens of young people I

have spoken to. If I said to you ChildLine, what do you think it is

for? For children who are in need of help because they might be getting

beat up by their mum or dad or they might be getting abused. Do you

think that you are child? Not really because I am nearly 13, nearly a

teenager. So you are 12 now. And 12 is not really a child. No. OK.

The app is some way off but the children are helping us develop it.

Do you think it would be easier to use an app than phone ChildLine?

Yes. On ChildLine you have to ring up and your parents could hear you.

One of the ideas is to get through to this service on Snapchat or

Instagram. This is my idea, that we create an app that people can get

hold of via their phone and it will be called Is It Ok? Because that's

the question I'm told they are themselves when they get home,

realising they are out of depth, under pressure, and they say, is it

OK? What's Jane's advice for connecting with today's kids? We

need to understand people on the phone understand grooming, to think

of things kids might not be telling us, to understand they might be

frightened, what role their parents might play, and I think it's some

celebrities involved as well, in selling this as an app because then

young people will want it. What today has shown me is that so

much has changed in the last 30 years. ChildLine now has to do even

more if we are to protect children like the ones who suffered so badly

here. You've fronted a new

campaign advert. You have become a campaign,

fantastic news for the charity. As a youngster you echoed the sentiments

of the young people in that film and felt really that ChildLine was the

children, very young children, didn't you? Yes, actually up until

recently, you do have that perception. ChildLine... Even my

nephews now, eight and nine, their big boys now. You call them at your

door a little boy and they say I'm not, I'm a big boy now. At 11 or 12

you don't want to be called a child. Because it is for people up to 19.

Yes, exactly 19. Language has changed, when we launched it child

didn't mean under 12. When that 12-year-old boy said he was in a

child it came as a bit of a shock to me. Did it make you think you might

want to change the name of it? We have a ChildLine app which will be

launched under the name of ChildLine because that brand is known up and

down the country, known for 30 years. But we are also planning to

try and create one that hasn't got the word Child in it. That's why

we're thinking, Is It Ok? Survivors of Rotherham and other places said

that was a question they all asked themselves. What you have to

remember is, some of the things that happen to those young people, a

child who close had been doused in petrol, a man standing over her with

a lit match saying, if you ever ask for help, this is what will happen

to you and your family... You have to reach out to them in a new way.

That's why I'm so grateful Cheryl is being our campaigner for ChildLine,

because I think so many young people will instinctively relate to you,

would know you wouldn't judge them, just as ChildLine doesn't judge them

and to know it is a safe way to ask for help. Cheryl, youth front of

this new advert, this campaign. It is very hard-hitting. Let's take a

look at part of it. I've been cutting since I was 13. I'm so tired

of it, but I just... I don't know how to stop.

I'm worried my dad will leave if I tell him I'm gay.

I sent this boys some pictures because he kept asking me and asking

me, now he wants more. If I don't, he will show everyone. That is so

powerful, that campaign. You touch on three very sensitive but sadly

very common problems. On my social feeds I speak to people who are

dealing with these problems daily, self harm, sexting is a massive

problem. Coming out if you are gay is still a big deal, and fortunate.

I have spoken to a lot of people and helps them through situations like

that. What you get from fat? It breaks my heart to think you're in

that much pain, that you turn to harming yourself as a release. It's

obviously something I've never suffered with, so it's hard to

understand, but it's a massive, massive problem. If you think of how

much pain they must be dealing with inside to turn to that extreme.

ChildLine hears from so many calls from children harming themselves.

It's no good telling a kid you have to stop it now, you've got to

empathise... Emphasising how they're feeling is so important. Letting

them know we understand what they're going through and we value them they

are valued and they have somewhere to turn to. Over the last 30 years,

Esther, ChildLine has literally helped millions of children and

youngsters who are going through terrible times, but have the

problems changed, or is it the same common themes? How different is this

time we are in now compared to 30 years ago? In some ways it's the

same. Sexual abuse and bullying are still very common problem is that

the kids who get in touch with us, all kinds of abuse. But there are

new things as well. As you said, self harm, eating disorders,

suicidal thoughts. And the way they get in touch with us is quite

different, not just mobile phones but online, live chat e-mails,

through the message boards and website. It is much easier sometimes

for them to communicate with ChildLine in the way they used to,

through all the digital media. But what amazes me is even then, you

walk into a ChildLine counselling room and is silent because people

aren't talking, they're just relating via e-mails or online chat.

The words they use, the language they use is a thank you for

listening to me, what do you want to talk about... It's a real

conversation, still. Talking about those people having those

conversations, we have some volunteers into night. Always lovely

to see you. Chris, just a quick word, you have done a lot of work

with child welfare, a very inspirational manuals. It is sad

that in this country where it feels like there is so much opportunity,

there are still children in need this help. Yes, but as long as they

know there is a place to turn to, that is the key thing. What's the

number? I just asked you that! It's still the same. The only number next

to 999 that has stayed the same. A little jingle. I thought you were

going to tell everyone what the number was. If you don't want to

bring, there are other ways and all of that stuff is on our website.

All week we've been talking about getting youngsters out of bed.

Cheryl, do you want to start this off, you said you were a shocker?

Yes, when I hit 1314I didn't want to get up the bed. I was nice and warm,

snuggling and then mum would come in and say it's time to to get up. Ten

minutes later she used to pull the cover off. What did I say? What we

were like, a big lump lying in bed? Exactly the same. I couldn't have

done that in the summers, I would have to train. Imagine if your

parents went all Gordon Ramsay. This is his technique. This is worse than

snatching the duvet off. I don't know what's happening, but this is

apparently the technique he uses to get his daughter up out of bed.

There was another version. He won't mind are saying but... It's a bit

weird! LAUGHTER Looks like a nightmare. It got us

thinking about what technique for Romagna you use to get the younger

generation out of bed. So we came into your homes to see what tricks

you had up your sleeves. The weavers, the can is on the right

family have the problem of getting the kids up sorted. Nothing is left

to chance. I woke already, but they are still

in bed. Now she has it sorted, pancake power. This morning I'm

going to make their favourite breakfast. Over at the weavers and

even more creative solution for those dark winter mornings. Pet

pester power. Now it is seven o'clock and we need to start to get

ready for school. I've called her a couple of times, and if she won't

wake up then we release the hound. It seems it's the only way to get

Darcy up these days. And the bonus is she actually likes it.

But when you don't have dogs around, what can you do? I've tried to wake

my boys up and they're not waking up for school, as it's the first day

back after half-time. Surely nobody would resort to using a water

pistol. Sarah does, and Louis and Tyler are in her sights this

morning. I've called them already once they've ignored me, so let's go

and have a bit of fun! And for commuter, the smell of pancakes does

the trick again. Which means, thankfully, her children won't be

late for school. They have their breakfast, they enjoyed it, they

gave me the thumbs up. Ready, sorted, and ready for school. And

back at the can as it's all-out warfare.

Morning. Are you getting up? Looks like mamma is enjoying this a lot

more than everyone else, but it seems to be having the desired

effect. It's a nicer way to wake them up and shouting, which I've

done previously. The boys are happily off to school and don't miss

the chance to get their mum macro back. There are some tips for you,

folks, let us know how you get on tomorrow.

We were just saying bacon is the key. A bacon sandwich in the

morning, I'd get up for that! At least you have no worries on this

front, Chris, two years old, very keen to get up. Yes, the very

opposite. The thought of the full night's sleep would be amazing. She

is two but he hasn't slept through yet. Cheryl gave me a tip, lavender

oil and a humidifier. Yes, lavender helps you to sleep, and a nice

aroma. Esther, let's talk about your dreams and ambitions as a young

child. What did you want to be? Look at you there, a little bit later

than that... When I was that age I probably wasn't walking, because...

Yes, roll on a few years. I didn't long to walk -- learn to walk until

I was 18 months old, so the wrong candidate for Strictly Come Dancing.

No surprise I only lasted three weeks. What I wanted to be when I

was about ten or 11 was a nightclub singer. Did you? I would never have

guessed that. You have never heard me sing, if you had heard me sing

you would never have guessed that. Brilliant idea for The One Show

Vitae. Chris, we know you were always fixated on your love of

bikes. You said from a young age she wanted to be an Olympian. That is

punchy, isn't it? You made it, but was there a plan B, A fallback? I

never thought I would be, that was my dream. I was never that great at

cycling when I was a kid, so it was just a pipe dream. I had to get my

education, that was the golden rule, you could do the spore and the

staff... Did you say you want any good, you are surrounded by trophies

and awards. A lot of second and third places. I had to work at it,

it didn't come naturally, I had to keep practising and training to get

any success. When you went to do work experience, what did you end up

doing? My first work experience... What was I doing? I did a lot of

part-time jobs. Work expense, I worked in a bike shop. Same theme! I

worked in a book shop. Lottery tickets, I sold them when the

lottery started. I worked in a service station selling them, all

kinds of things. A paperboy for a while. We have some lovely photos of

you, Cheryl. You always dreamt of being a pop star, didn't you? Yes.

Look at the ballet there. Your parents, where they supported from

the word go or did they say you needed to get an education and then

you could go off and dance and model? A bit of both, actually. My

mother was convinced I knew what I wanted to do from birth. She was

like, you came into the world knowing what you wanted to do. She

was very supportive of everything. I was kind of bossy as a kid, I want

to go to dance school, tap school, I was the one driving it. But my dad

was like, get an education, get your head out of the clouds. He always

said that. Every teenager wants to be a pop star. It's nice... Yes,

look as stuff. What did he say in 2002 when it kicked off? I'll tell

you what he said, in 2010 when I went up Mount Kilimanjaro, the phone

signal would come in and out of the mountain. I called my dad when my

head was in the clouds! I swear, and I said dad, you're not going to

believe this, my head is officially in the clouds! LAUGHTER

Who were your role models growing up? Just grown women around. We

never really had social media or any of that. The magazines weren't like

they are now. I just loved... I always loved older women, watching

them put on their make-up, how they dressed. After Pop stars in 2002, I

loved watching that, things changed so dramatically. Even though that's

what you always wanted, was the reality more scary? Was it as

fantastic as you imagined? A bit of both. The reality is it is

hard work. You see the glamour, the red carpet, you do not see the feet

after words. All the glamour and glitz, you do not see the hardship

or the personal stuff you are going through. And there is a lot of

pressure on you. A lot of false reporting, too. If you look through

the window, to me, that is lovely people waving but 1 million lenses.

I don't look at them. They may be fascinated by me but I think,

please, you don't have to laugh quite so loudly! This is really a

persecution, isn't it? Did you feel like you are hunted? I did. It was a

period of time where I was going through hard personal stuff and

being chased around at the same time by seven strangers in seven cars

every day. Relentlessly. I found that extremely difficult to deal

with. Then you have the scrutiny, the lies, the self on social media.

That is how I can relate to kids because I have experienced the

bullying, the judgment. The letters. But chin up, I have a stick thing

now. Come at me, bro. It is like, whatever. You get to an age you were

like, you have got through it and grown from those experiences and

learn. You are culpable in your skin and you just think, Galway. I could

not give our... We know what saying. And you think of all those

youngsters, that you talked to tonight then the camera, they will

take strength from that that you have been there and done that and

got where you are. And I am not ashamed that I had been through hard

times or make mistakes because light happens like that and it is

important that people don't expect to live a perfect life because it

does not exist. And as an adult, you continue to make mistakes. And you

want to have a life of your own. You want to have a private life and

enjoy life for you. In my position, I need it for myself. Well, we're

going to say goodbye to you now because we thoroughly enjoyed your

company, and thanks for stopping by. Call ChildLine if you have any

problem, any problems, any age. Up to 19. Can you go and stand over

there so those photographers take a photo of you as Cheryl leaves? In

that blouse, they will definitely want to. I feel that I should say

this is not my blouse. This is Alex's blouse. Share and share

alike. Would also have an acoustic live performance from Rebecca

Ferguson later on from her new album which is absolutely brilliant.

First we catch up with Martyn Ashton - a cyclist like Chris -

who has entertained us on The One Show with his

Now he's back with a very different story to tell.

My name is Martin Ashton and this is me in one of my YouTube videos. In

my long career as a professional mountain bike rider, I have been

both British and World Champion. But three years ago, performing live

stunt show, I made a mistake. And the resulting accident broke my back

and, crucially, damaged my spinal-cord. It left me paralysed

from the waist down. But I was determined to get back in the saddle

as soon as I could. This was my first proper attempt, strapped onto

a specially adapted bike. I often returned to the spinal unit in

Shropshire where I made my recovery. I know how hard it was to rebuild my

life, so I am eating 26-year-old Francesca, who is preparing to go

home in a wheelchair after a serious fall. Your shoulders are now so

important. I was with friends, and it was a bank holiday. I was having

a good time, having a laugh. I cannot remember anything about my

accident. I fell from an eight foot drop, fractured my skull with a

bleed on the brain, and I broke my back. I do not remember any pain

from my back, I just member pain from my hero extensions getting

ripped out of my head. I thought to myself, OK, I cannot feel my legs

but it didn't register with me. I didn't think I would not be able to

walk again. When the doctor told me, I did have a bit of a cry but then

that is the only time I have cried about it, really, because it's over

and done with. They do say that you realise who your true friends are

when something like this happens to you. They have been there for me. I

could not ask for better friends. When did it hit home that your life

had changed and offer what? I accepted it straightaway, to be

honest. It was when I first came to video, I did not realise I have to

sit up again, because I was wobbling everywhere. You do not have the

strength to keep you operate. I was learning how to move from one thing

to another. It is like starting from the beginning again. I thought I was

going to fall down the toilet. It is like being a baby. The toilets can

be so scary, who knew? Do you think you have found something in you that

you did not have before. Definitely, I never knew I could be so strong. I

have surprised myself because I have coped. Today is a massive day for

Francesca. She is leaving hospital after three months to go back home

to Wales and I am going with her. The first challenges gravel. The

ramp is ready. How does it feel to know you are home? It feels good. I

am excited. I'm going to have to work on my turning. I just great to

the side. This will be my room. It is my dad's all study. I have always

wanted it. But I just had to break my back to get it! It is a great

space. What is the plan for adapting it? We are hoping to be able to get

a wet room attached, and that will give me more independence. Busy, you

are 26. What are you thinking about? Boys, going out and getting back to

a normal life. I don't want people to see me any differently to what I

was before. I'm still the same person and I still have the same

personality and I definitely do not want people to feel sorry for me.

There are going to be challengers, obviously, but I am up for some

challengers now and again. But now, I am excited and happy. Raring to

go. Yes. Good luck to Francesca. She is so positive. Absolutely. Real

energy. And you know Martyn, don't you? Yes, an amazing man. He

inspired summary people to take up mountain biking, and now he is

inspiring a whole different type of person, coming to terms with a

horrendous change in their life. His positivity is incredible, the way he

has bounced back. I don't know of anyone has seen the video at home

but if you go one YouTube, for the first time he has been back on the

bike after his accident. Absolutely, we saw that little clip. The joy on

his face was incredible. He just keeps pushing forward and never

looked back. When will you last on a bike? Last weekend. Just for

recreation? No time now, you are typing away, a bestselling author!

You are, for children. But we found a bit of your own work from years

ago. This is what young Chris Hoy was writing about. This was half

term. Went to England. I had my passport with me. I used to just

write about my bike and BMX. And you won. Will you quite into English as

a kid? I was not the kind of person who picked up a book and was

desperate to read. My sister was really into it but I had to have a

bit more encouragement. Fact books were good, which is exactly what you

have created. My son is all over this. He is nine, nearly ten, and

this is just perfect for him. Lots of guides of where to go, but bike

to get. It is an instructional guide, illustrated. I tried to

answer questions about cycling for kids. This is a how-to guide about

fixing punctures, mending things on your bike, there are tips on treks.

And how to get into a cycling club? There are interactive bits to fill

in as well, questions. And that is a very nice picture of Chris. Look.

Can I borrow the book and minutes? I will sign you a copy. You have these

same characters as in your Fergus series. Daisy is here. The same

illustrations. A lot of the characters from the Flying Fergus

series come through to continue that theme, and hopefully encourage the

kids to get engaged with their bike and answer questions. And do you

know the answer, that is the point? Let's have a little look. It won't

be too difficult. What trick do you need to perfect before you try a

bunny hop? A wheelie. And you also do little videos, don't you? You

show people how to do the perfect wheelie. That sounds ace. It is

about doing it in a safe environment, making sure that you

are not encouraging kids to do anything where they might hurt

themselves. It is just fun stuff. I am so passionate about cycling and I

have had an amazing life from riding a bike. It is an amazing thing. And

it is not just kids, hopefully just inspiring them to get out on two

fields. And his first bike cost a fiver, they did it up and it went on

to win all those medals, and for him to have those thighs. Do you like

cycling? What happened to me, when I was a student I used to cycle

everywhere, and the Lloris play bicycles and which. They came either

side of me and it was so frightening. Very recently there was

a real tragedy for cyclists, a cyclist went under a lorry, and I

was very near at that time, and I think it is just so dangerous in

cities now, it is so dangerous. It is dangerous, but a lot is being

done and there was a lot of pressure on the government and the councils

to improve the roads and make it safer for cyclists, to encourage

people. That is the biggest barrier for people taking upcycling. We did

a film about that just recently and it is a real talking point.

But now, time to take to the skies now to see how one man's childhood

hobby has not only carried on through adult life

but has seen him rope in his own son and grandson.

Put it on. My name is Dave Johnson and what started out as a hobby has

now taken over my life. I have four workshops, completely full of model

aircraft. My wife, Pam, has got used to it over a period of time. My

daytime job is a washing machine and fridge in. I could do with the hobby

in the evenings. The last few years, it has been a full-time hobby and

washing machines are just a few hours a day. The ones I like flying

are large models. The Vulcan bomber is my favourite and it is the

largest model, weight wise and bulk wise. Vulcan aircraft have been the

love of my life since the early days of air shows. I have built three

over the years and the latest I absolutely love. I could not see

myself leaving it out here. If I crashed it, I would be devastated.

This model aircraft show is truly international. Every year, you get

people from all over Europe, the USA. They attend because we get

larger aircraft there than any other show in the country. At the large

model shows, there is a fantastic variety of aircraft. We have the

wind walkers, and they are highly detailed, even down to the girls on

the top doing acrobatics. And we also do pyrotechnics. We have an

imitation bombing run with World War I aircraft. 23 as the record at the

moment, 23 in the ear together. -- in the air together. When I first

started off I was by myself but my eldest son, Andrew, soon started

coming around to help me. His son, my grandson, he is probably one of

the best young flyers around the country at the moment. I feel great

when I fly a plane. It is a hobby that not a lot of kids my age do. It

is very easy in video games, you can push the stick one way and it will

go, but you have all the weather conditions and complications.

I suppose the star of the show will be the Vulcan, they're getting it

fuelled up now. They commissioned the real one, so if you want to see

a Vulcan fly you have to go to a model show and see a model, which is

not a lot smaller than the real thing. The Vulcan is such a

spectacular plane, one of the biggest you'll ever see. The noise

of a four jet engine is fantastic, you get a real buzz.

It's exactly the same as when the real one used to fly, the crowd goes

quiet, you don't get anyone walking about when the Vulcan's in the air.

It's a British icon, the one that everybody loves. Give her a round of

applause, ladies and gentlemen. You can see why I enjoy flying it

now, can't you? Well, I didn't think model

aeroplanes could be so emotional, Cheryl will be gutted that she left

when she did! Loved that! Absolutely. 13-year-old Shaan has

joined us now. We met this legend last year during children in need.

How you feeling now? Fine, thanks. You are now going to go head-to-head

with Esther, representing your younger generation in our childhood

themed show. Esther, you can guess the rest. Pop yourself here, Esther,

on the crack. Right. Each of you will take it in turns to sit here,

pictures will come on the screen relating to your childhood and the

other person has to describe the picture. It's who can guess the most

right, basically, in 45 seconds. We have some great prizes, do you want

to hear some good prizes? Shaan what about this? An England cricket team

signed bat by all the team. And Esther, we have a nice basket full

of lovely things here. It's a granny basket. This were a bit of

motivation, smell the soap. I'd actually really like this basket,

everything about it is lovely. It is The One Show branding! There we go.

Let's play, time starts now. Here we go. First picture. You type on it

type rider. Correct. You can do to a coin. Spin, top. You listen to music

on it. Gramophone. You don't know what a gramophone is. It's what you

put on a gramophone. Records. Yes. Who was Prime Minister in the

wartime? Churchill. Very good, what a team. What is that? It says string

thing. A puppet. Oh, it's a puppet. It's a puppet with... Whatsapp

animal? A horse. Muffin your! APPLAUSE

That is brilliant. That was great, well done. Very good, swap over.

Great effort. Are you ready to do is getting? Yorked time starts now.

Here we go. A phone with a picture on and a bird on it, I think, and a

red thing at the bottom of it. It's an app. Should I not say that? You

go and looks for things. It's Pokemon! LAUGHTER

I will get the hang of this. It's harder this, than your round. A

round ball looking thing in space... BBL eight. Yes. These are little

yellow faces that looks sad or happy or astonished to stick their tongues

out and you put them on a text. Emojis. Anything you play games with

probably... Time is up. Who knows what the score is, but you've

definitely got bat. APPLAUSE And you can have this, my dear. This

is what I've always wanted, thank you so much. I think it's a really

good prize, that. Thank you Shaan, lovely to see you again. Chris is

starting out as a children's writer and sensibly started with a subject

he knows all about. Cerys has the story of one of our best loved

children's authors who turned to a friend to get inspiration for one of

his classics. The Chiltern Hills, Woodlands filled with plump

pheasants. This sets the scene for one of Roald Dahl 's most achieve

mysterious adventures. Locke sees a father seek revenge on a bullying

father when they pull off the greatest pheasant heist ever. It's a

caper that has captured our imaginations and it was written in

1975. If only I could find a way of knocking off a couple of hundred

birds all in one go, then Mr Hazell's party would be the biggest

wash-out in history. 200 I said, that's impossible. But Roald Dahl

made it possible. Rachel White is the archivist of the Roald Dahl

Museum. What do you like about this book? I love it because it has the

first needy peak of the BFG. The BFG can be seen in this chapter, one of

the bedtime stories Danny is told by his father. Have you ever seen the

big friendly giant? Once, my father said, only once. Proper goose bumps

stuff. It also introduced the act of poaching, which got some critics in

a froth. Some believed it would lead to children delinquency, I don't

think children would poach presence. For me it's looking at the

relationship between father and son and a love story for the

Buckinghamshire countryside. This inspired many of the book's

locations, from the red pump garage which became Danny's father's

workplace to the Woodlands wordy poaching begins, using sleeping

powder painstakingly filled into 200 raisins. My father through a second

raisin into the clearing, then a third and fourth, and a fifth.

Estates like this are where Roald Dahl was rumoured to have tried

poaching himself. His friend and suppose it accomplice was the local

butcher Claude Taylor. Sue is his daughter. They were very, very

different. Roald with public educated, private school, and by far

the left school at 12. He was really fun and always slightly rebellious.

What did he make of the film? Not at -- not a lot at first, he swore a

lot. I remember they said, you must know more adjectives that, you're a

writer. Did they go poaching together? They didn't go poaching a

bad thing, but a lot of the ideas they used were my dad's, the

sleeping potion in the raisins. Upcoming trick that allowed Danny

and his father to swipe over pheasants from the woods. Mr

Hazell's skin when from Scarlet purple, his eyes and cheeks were

bulging so much with rage it looks like someone was blowing at his face

with a pump. He glared at my father, then he glared at the dopey

pheasants. What's the matter with them, shouted? What have you done to

them? Well, it's a great story and has

that thing against authority which children love. We see Danny and his

dad socket to the big guy, Victor Hazell. That's right, and then the

pheasants get to fly away. And you did it, Danny, the whole thing with

your idea in the first place. I didn't do it dad. Oh yes you did,

and you know what that makes you, my dear boy. It makes you champion of

the world. Do you know what, the dad in Danny

the Champion of the World is one of my favourite Roald Dahl characters.

It's a lovely story. Shall we have a bit of live music? Let's, Rebecca

Ferguson is here, about to thing Superwoman. We have had people on

Twitter are saying very hour in Birmingham and waiting for you. Not

to worry, I'm getting a helicopter to Birmingham. I feel like James

Bond right now! You get yourselves set. A very big thank you to Esther,

Cheryl and Chris. His book is out now. We leave you now with the

lovely Rebecca singing an acoustic version of Superwoman. See you
