:02:30. > :02:37.the time Foster are we ready? we have a countdown? Gorgeous! Very
:02:37. > :02:44.pretty. First up we're heading to the home town of John Bishop. Paris,
:02:44. > :02:50.Venice and Liverpool. John Bishop a's birthplace is it in the premier
:02:50. > :02:57.league of world heritage, according to UNESCO. Several parts of the
:02:57. > :03:00.waterfront have inherited World Heritage Sites, including the
:03:00. > :03:10.Pierhead. Some fear its World Heritage status could soon become a
:03:10. > :03:15.thing of the past. Why? The future could be this. Liverpool waters, a
:03:15. > :03:20.five and a half -- �5.5 billion development of homes, offices and
:03:20. > :03:27.shops planned for the City Centre docks. At its heart the Shanghai

:03:33. > :03:38.- Tower. UNESCO had just visited the site. Prior to the visit
:03:39. > :03:43.expressed extreme concern about the impact of the new development. They
:03:44. > :03:53.are not alone. It is the scale and mass of the development which is a
:03:54. > :03:54.
:03:54. > :03:59.great concern. We should look to Amsterdam and build humane scale
:03:59. > :04:06.developments around the waterways. I knew someone who is standing in
:04:06. > :04:12.the wake of progress? -- are used someone who is standing in the way?
:04:12. > :04:18.It needs to be done skilfully. It has to be clever. The best thing
:04:18. > :04:23.the people of Liverpool can have is a world heritage site. Why would
:04:23. > :04:31.you put that are at risk? Liverpool was granted equal billing with the
:04:31. > :04:36.Taj Mahal and the pyramids, because of its contribution to trade,
:04:36. > :04:40.Innovation and Technology in the 18th and 19th centuries. The
:04:40. > :04:45.weather might be questionable today but Liverpool has brushed up nicely.
:04:45. > :04:49.Three years ago it was European Capital of Culture. It has a fancy
:04:49. > :04:55.new museum. Even where you catch the ferry across the Mersey has had
:04:55. > :04:59.a makeover. Could the world heritage tag turn the city into a
:04:59. > :05:05.cultural theme park? It is a fate that Liverpool City Council, with
:05:05. > :05:09.poverty and lack of jobs still major issues, are keen to avoid.
:05:10. > :05:16.north Liverpool, it is an area which is in need of regeneration.
:05:16. > :05:20.For many years this dockside has been unused and am working. As the
:05:20. > :05:26.combination of residential and retail shops takes place, it will
:05:26. > :05:29.increase significantly the number of jobs in the area. According to
:05:29. > :05:38.Paul, while the proposals might be new, the controversy surrounding
:05:38. > :05:42.them is not. Even in the original live the building, it was deeply
:05:42. > :05:47.controversial. It created a lot of discussion in the local media. It
:05:47. > :05:51.is not surprising that something on the scale of the redevelopment
:05:51. > :05:55.proposals in the docks is creating some controversy. We are confident
:05:55. > :06:01.we can work with the developer and UNESCO and make sure we can find a
:06:01. > :06:11.common way forward to help the regeneration of the city and the
:06:11. > :06:11.

:06:38. > :06:44.number of years. Anything that brings prospers finances to the
:06:44. > :06:49.city and enables people to work can only be a good thing. Is the loss

:07:04. > :07:09.worried. It worries me. Nowadays, it is hard to get a job. I would
:07:09. > :07:15.prefer a job than status. Is it more important to preserve the past
:07:15. > :07:18.or develop the future? Can Heritage and innovation exist side-by-side?

:08:12. > :08:20.thing around. We really have to call it as we see it. I love you
:08:20. > :08:26.and I love them all. Let's have a reminder of last week. Here is

:08:32. > :08:38.moment. Look at him and go completely wrong. Disaster! Bless
:08:38. > :08:44.him. That was going fantastically well. He could have got 10 from all
:08:44. > :08:51.the judges. He lost the side flick. It did not turn out the way it

:14:19. > :14:24.a girl born in Wrexham who became the first Mr Byers. This Lancashire
:14:24. > :14:30.last wanted to be more than begun next door. She went from factory
:14:30. > :14:35.girl to Beauty Queen - Britain's first Miss World. This is very
:14:35. > :14:41.exciting. I would never have had the opportunity to do this before.
:14:41. > :14:46.It may seem rather shallow today but beating the Americans on the
:14:46. > :14:56.glamour stakes felt like a win worth having. 10 million viewers
:14:56. > :14:57.
:14:57. > :15:00.Rosemary was going places. From a machinist at one of Britain's
:15:01. > :15:05.biggest shoemakers to a celebrity. People were thinking, how can
:15:05. > :15:11.somebody who works in the factory get through to the Miss World
:15:11. > :15:17.contest? Did you watch? Yes. I was convinced she would make the last
:15:17. > :15:20.three and when she won it, it was brilliant. For young Rosemary,
:15:20. > :15:25.opportunities were thin on the ground. She was brought up by her
:15:25. > :15:30.grandma in North Wales. Once remarried, her mother brought her
:15:30. > :15:34.back to this Lancaster semi- detached house. Most girls who did
:15:34. > :15:41.not get to go to grammar school did not get any qualifications and they
:15:41. > :15:45.got factory jobs. Her Elizabeth Taylor features were her ticket out
:15:45. > :15:50.of the factory and into Marks & Spencer as a shop assistant. Soon,
:15:50. > :15:55.she was wearing the next big thing, the bikini, in a beauty contest. In
:15:55. > :15:59.fact, she took the plunge and entered several. She became a
:15:59. > :16:07.serial contestant, winning Miss Lancaster, Miss Morecambe, Miss
:16:07. > :16:13.Wales and Miss UK all in one year. Next stop, the world! By now,
:16:13. > :16:19.beauty was big business. As Miss World, she would earn 20 grand in a
:16:19. > :16:25.year. As a shoemaker, just two pounds a week. Another local girl
:16:25. > :16:29.recalls her bringing back the title to Lancaster. Suddenly, I could see
:16:29. > :16:35.this extraordinary girl, and it was Rosemarie Frankland. But she looked
:16:35. > :16:41.like Elizabeth Taylor. You had never seen anything so exotic in
:16:41. > :16:48.your life. She opened her mouth and said, all right, I will see you. We
:16:48. > :16:55.thought, oh, my God. She is like us. But she left Lancaster and headed
:16:55. > :17:00.for Los Angeles. With the comic who crowned her, Bob Hope. Nearly three
:17:00. > :17:04.times her age, but with a Hollywood home, Rosemary was smitten. I would
:17:04. > :17:09.like to be an entertainer. I have had a taste of showbusiness and I
:17:09. > :17:13.would love to be an entertainer. Instead, she got bit parts in the
:17:13. > :17:17.odd movie. Her last Hollywood hope was as Bob Hope's personal
:17:17. > :17:24.assistant before their ten-year affair faded. And Britain's love
:17:24. > :17:29.affair with Miss World fizzled out, too. In 1970, people rained down a
:17:29. > :17:38.new brand of flower power on its old time host, Bob Hope.
:17:38. > :17:44.Proceedings have been temporarily suspended. In the 1970s, feminism
:17:44. > :17:48.suddenly arrived, blowing in from America. And Miss World, inside
:17:48. > :17:54.that kind of modernism, it was just insane. Newspapers stopped writing
:17:54. > :18:04.about it and the whole thing was crumbling. And the great regret of
:18:04. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:10.my life is that I wasn't there myself, chucking stuff at Bob Hope!
:18:10. > :18:15.Eventually, the BBC took Miss World off the air. Even for the showgirl
:18:15. > :18:19.Queen, the competition had lost its shine. She said they were just so
:18:19. > :18:24.some feller could get a quick thrill. They should, she said,
:18:24. > :18:29.shove it in the archives and forget about it. You wake up and realise
:18:29. > :18:33.you are no longer Miss World, how would you feel? It will be a weight
:18:33. > :18:37.off my mind because I no longer have to live up to something. I can
:18:37. > :18:41.just the ordinary Rosemarie Frankland once again. But Los
:18:41. > :18:46.Angeles was not the best place to be playing anyone. In 2000, she
:18:46. > :18:56.died alone in a two bed apartment of a suspected overdose. The girl
:18:56. > :18:57.
:18:57. > :19:03.who had had the world at her feet So, a sad end to war was a sorry
:19:03. > :19:07.tale. A big news story at the time. Years, when she won and when she
:19:07. > :19:14.died. Only five people from the UK have become his world. The first
:19:14. > :19:19.one, a sad end to her tale. The second was in 1964, the beautiful
:19:19. > :19:24.Ann Sydney. A very lovely lady. Here Shias, walking across the
:19:24. > :19:31.podium. She was a very fine ice skater, incidentally. Where is she
:19:31. > :19:38.now? In Los Angeles, 6-7, very happy. In those days, she dated
:19:38. > :19:45.Bruce Forsyth. I asked him about her and he did not say a great deal.
:19:45. > :19:52.When you asked, did you ask him what we are all thinking you asked
:19:52. > :20:00.him? Yes, and he said, nice to have seen her, to have seen her, nice.
:20:01. > :20:04.The next one was in 1965, Lesley Langley. Here she is. She is now 68
:20:04. > :20:09.and rumoured to be working as a dental receptionist in Weymouth. I
:20:09. > :20:16.hope she will get in touch because I have a difficult tooth. If she is
:20:16. > :20:22.watching, we tried to get in touch. Please contact the show. Next, 1974,
:20:22. > :20:28.Helen Morgan. We have pictures of her moving about the stage. She was
:20:28. > :20:33.so surprised and excited. She had been Miss Wales, and she became a
:20:33. > :20:39.Miss World. But I am afraid her reign only lasted for four days. It
:20:39. > :20:44.was revealed that she had a baby, an 18 month old baby. Although she
:20:44. > :20:50.was still eligible, because it is Miss World and she was not married,
:20:50. > :20:55.not being married was also a problem in 1974. With the child.
:20:55. > :21:04.She was from Barry. She was from Barry end she went back to bury it.
:21:04. > :21:11.Barry, if you are watching, contact the show. Were the happy end to her
:21:11. > :21:17.show. I love the way you said, she was a single mum, she was from Bury.
:21:17. > :21:23.1983, you would have loved this, Sarah Jane-Hutt. There she is. Do
:21:23. > :21:30.you think she is lovely? I think she's lovely, but she was not sure.
:21:30. > :21:34.Don't tell me she is a bloke! lot of the people taking part did
:21:34. > :21:38.not think she was lovely and there was a lot of bad feeling and some
:21:38. > :21:44.contestants refused to go to the coronation ball to accept the prize
:21:44. > :21:52.alongside her. They did not think she was pretty. They hijacked the
:21:52. > :21:58.dinner! That is our famous five, but we have a miss Hammersmith.
:21:58. > :22:01.That is a very attractive look. that you, Gyles Brandreth? There
:22:01. > :22:05.are some great shows across the UK this Christmas but there happens to
:22:05. > :22:15.be a musical production of The Importance Of Being Earnest, Oscar
:22:15. > :22:16.
:22:16. > :22:21.Wilde's classic play. Leads in of the lad from the comprehensive side
:22:21. > :22:26.of the fence - Oscar Wilde's classic play. -- lets involve the
:22:26. > :22:30.lad. I realise I am too old for Hammett and too young for King Lear,
:22:30. > :22:36.but just about right for Lady Bracknell. I have been given this
:22:37. > :22:44.role and I am the grandmother of the present Queen, Queen Mary, that
:22:45. > :22:49.is the look I have got. Thank you, Gyles Brandreth. In a moment, we
:22:49. > :22:57.are going out to chat to our champion figure skaters. Everybody
:22:57. > :23:01.has arrived now. At last! We have been finding out about our love
:23:01. > :23:06.affair with ice skating. The last time that the Thames froze
:23:06. > :23:11.over was 1814, and it is now 10:15am and it does not look like
:23:11. > :23:15.it will be frozen by a quarter past six, does it? Thankfully, there is
:23:15. > :23:19.another way to ice skate down the Thames. This is the Tower of
:23:19. > :23:23.London's seasonal ice rink, my starting-point on a mission to
:23:23. > :23:27.skate the winter ice rinks up river to historic Hampton Court Palace.
:23:27. > :23:32.By the time I get there, I hope to have mastered one of the moves from
:23:32. > :23:38.Torvill and Dean's gold medal- winning performance, with a little
:23:38. > :23:42.help from these two. Hello. That was a nice move. I am nervous about
:23:42. > :23:46.getting out there because I have never been ice skating before. I
:23:46. > :23:53.have always thought I would be really good. How hard is this dance
:23:53. > :23:59.on a scale of 1 to 10? 12. It is more slippery than I thought.
:23:59. > :24:04.are going to do this. No more than that. And hopefully the other way
:24:04. > :24:09.round with an arm movement. This ice skating historian is joining me
:24:09. > :24:15.on a boat up the River Thames. When the river was frozen, what would
:24:15. > :24:21.happen on it? Well, you had typically the great frost fairs.
:24:21. > :24:26.There was bear-baiting, archery, wrestling, even horse-racing. We
:24:26. > :24:32.are coming to Blackfriars Bridge. In the last Frost Fair of 1814, as
:24:32. > :24:38.a publicity stunt, an elephant was walked from one side to the other.
:24:38. > :24:43.People were really skating in the 17th century? James the second even
:24:43. > :24:48.gave public skating displays. Looking at conditions today, I
:24:48. > :24:51.would say we were some way off a mini ice age. According to the Met
:24:51. > :24:56.Office, nine out of the last 10 years have been the warmest on
:24:56. > :25:01.record. So it is just as well that the world now benefits from the
:25:01. > :25:05.great advances that have been made in high-tech ice rink technology.
:25:05. > :25:08.Most portable ice rink systems are effectively paddling pools, and
:25:08. > :25:14.underneath the water there are pipes filled with an anti-freeze
:25:14. > :25:20.solution. Once the mixture circulates, it is turned down to
:25:20. > :25:28.miners 15 degrees, and after 12 hours, hey presto, we have ice. Now,
:25:28. > :25:33.I wonder if I can get some help with my moves. Excuse me. I have
:25:33. > :25:38.got a move that I need to do from the Torvill and Dean Classic and it
:25:38. > :25:47.involves a flourish with an arm, like that, at the same time
:25:47. > :25:50.pivoting around the outside leg. so one of these? That is exactly
:25:50. > :25:58.the right move. I would probably give it a little bit more of a
:25:58. > :26:03.flourish with my arm. I think I am starting to get the hang of it.
:26:03. > :26:07.Nearly. Hand. Do you think I will have it by the time I get to
:26:07. > :26:12.Hampton Court? You should do, if you keep your focus and keep
:26:12. > :26:17.practising and remember what I taught you. You should have it.
:26:18. > :26:21.Well, here we are at Hampton Court, the final rink in my skate down the
:26:21. > :26:31.Thames and it is time to deliver the goods and to see if I have
:26:31. > :26:44.
:26:44. > :26:50.truly got the Torvill and Dean Wow! Who would have thought that?
:26:50. > :26:58.He is very good, isn't he? You didn't think it was me, did you?
:26:58. > :27:06.Just a bit of fun! There you are. Get out and enjoy the ice rinks in
:27:06. > :27:09.your area. Let's have a quick look around. There is a lovely one in
:27:09. > :27:14.the Eden Project in Cornwall. Every year they have a different theme
:27:15. > :27:20.and this year it is a palatial theme. Where could we go and skate?
:27:20. > :27:23.You could go to Glasgow, because I was told that. I like the idea that
:27:23. > :27:27.the council think that none of us have skated for 11 months of the
:27:27. > :27:31.year, so we will put an ice rink in the middle of the city. Surely
:27:31. > :27:36.there will not be an accident. is good fun for the kids. It is a
:27:36. > :27:43.winter Wonderland. But if you have an accident, don't forget to call
:27:43. > :27:47.this number! There is a lovely one in North Wales called Nadolig
:27:47. > :27:51.Betws-y-Coed, and the village is very pretty. It is in Snowdonia
:27:51. > :27:55.National Park. It has a rink in the centre of the village, plus a
:27:55. > :28:04.lantern parade and real reindeer. Can you prove that the lanterns are
:28:04. > :28:12.real? 11-year-old Lucy Burton is here. This is John Bishop. How are
:28:12. > :28:19.you. You look freezing. Quite cold. How long have you been skating?
:28:19. > :28:23.Three years. You take it seriously. Why? When I started, I did it as a
:28:23. > :28:27.hobby but as I did more, I decided I had a passion for it, so I
:28:27. > :28:34.decided to take it more seriously. I started going to London for
:28:34. > :28:39.lessons. You are very good. We have footage here. Did you find that it
:28:39. > :28:44.came naturally? Yes. This is so impressive. You cannot do this on
:28:44. > :28:51.this silly ice rink here. For the people who produced it, it is very
:28:51. > :28:57.good! Thank you for giving it to us this evening. You are looking for
:28:57. > :29:03.your own Christopher Dean. Have you auditioned anybody? No. You are
:29:03. > :29:07.willing to put in the practice with a new partner. All of the
:29:07. > :29:17.controversy around the One Show and now we are blind dating for 11-
:29:17. > :29:21.
:29:21. > :29:30.year-old girls! She might need you. Congratulations after last weekend.
:29:30. > :29:33.You have been skating together for six years now. Proudest moments?
:29:33. > :29:43.The British Championships this weekend. Going to the Olympic Games
:29:43. > :29:44.
:29:44. > :29:48.in Vancouver was fantastic. What about the Winter Olympics in 2018?
:29:48. > :29:58.It made us all the more hungry. The European Championships are in
:29:58. > :30:00.
:30:00. > :30:10.England at the beginning of January next year. We'd be like Torvill and
:30:10. > :30:17.Dean? I would like to be. Are you a cup of -- a couple of the ice?
:30:17. > :30:26.are very lucky to be able to spend as much time together as we do. Yes,
:30:26. > :30:32.we act together. We are talking about winter Wonderland around the
:30:32. > :30:38.country. Any tips? Try and relax. Keep your feet together and bend
:30:38. > :30:48.your knees. We you perform a little routine with the military wives
:30:48. > :30:53.
:30:53. > :31:00.singing behind to? -- will you These days, vegetables tend to be
:31:00. > :31:05.all the same - same shape, same colour, same taste. They are mass
:31:05. > :31:10.produced, making harvesting and packaging easier. There was a time
:31:10. > :31:16.when vegetables had more variety. A cauliflower like this would not
:31:16. > :31:23.have seemed so at odds. The vegetable kingdom used to be
:31:23. > :31:29.diverse. Then, in 1973, the EC decided it was time to regulate. In
:31:29. > :31:34.order to guarantee the quality of seats, European authorities
:31:34. > :31:39.introduced a list. If they were not on the list, it was illegal to sell
:31:39. > :31:42.them. Only the most commercially viable went on the list. Less
:31:42. > :31:48.commercially viable were never registered because they did not
:31:48. > :31:53.think it was worth it. Illegal and unloved, many obscure varieties
:31:53. > :31:59.would have vanished had it not have been for the Heritage seed Library.
:31:59. > :32:03.They are being kept from extinction by amateur growers who plant them
:32:03. > :32:08.and return the seats they produced to the library. We are not allowed
:32:08. > :32:15.to sell them, so we keep them and give them away to people who
:32:15. > :32:20.support us. They are participating in a conservation effort. What
:32:20. > :32:27.would have happened if you had not done it? A lot of varieties would
:32:27. > :32:36.have disappeared. How far back it is that one? It goes back to the
:32:36. > :32:42.13th century. Can I hold a 13th century been? Is this just a museum
:32:42. > :32:50.piece or does it have a value to us today? You must conserve as much as
:32:50. > :32:56.you can. Genes might be valuable in the future. If our current crop
:32:56. > :33:01.suffered a blight, the solution might lie with this? It might.
:33:01. > :33:07.Selling the vegetables they produce is not illegal. You can get them
:33:07. > :33:13.from farmers' markets and some supermarkets. We grow a wide range
:33:13. > :33:19.of different crops - including various different heritage
:33:19. > :33:24.varieties. A lot of London chefs are asking for them. I see someone
:33:24. > :33:31.has dumped a whole bunch of your crops. This is rainbow Chard and
:33:32. > :33:37.Swiss Chard. It was used in the olden days instead of spinach. This
:33:37. > :33:43.beetroot has beautiful, concentric circles of pink and white. If you
:33:43. > :33:50.put that on your plate, you would know about it. This is a golden
:33:50. > :33:55.beetroot - another heritage variety. This has beautiful flesh. I think
:33:55. > :34:01.people are looking for these heritage varieties. The earlier
:34:01. > :34:11.this year, Europe agreed to relax the law on seed selling. Good news
:34:11. > :34:11.
:34:11. > :34:18.for this chef at the Dog and Pheasant. We had root vegetables
:34:18. > :34:24.with Parma ham. Delight cooking with these heritage vegetables?
:34:24. > :34:31.Absolutely. My lunch looks good on the plate but will it taste good?
:34:31. > :34:37.They taste amazing. It is a delight that people are working really hard
:34:37. > :34:41.to keep these historic vegetables alive. The least I can do to
:34:41. > :34:51.celebrate that is eat them. It was about time we had hysterics
:34:51. > :34:54.
:34:54. > :35:01.vegetables on the show. -- historic. A guy had four acres at Kew Gardens
:35:01. > :35:09.that he sold it for there. It was freezing outside and we have come
:35:09. > :35:16.back in. You have some lovely soup for us. We have our own favourite
:35:16. > :35:26.suits. I like carrot and coriander. It just used to be carried when I
:35:26. > :35:26.
:35:26. > :35:36.was a kid but now they but coriander in. -- carrot. Are we
:35:36. > :35:42.having shots? Could the show gets any more bizarre? Happy Friday to
:35:42. > :35:52.you. I am a big fan of soup will stop it is a strange thing to be a
:35:52. > :35:55.
:35:55. > :36:05.fan of. Let's go again. We are in for some night. How is your ox
:36:05. > :36:06.
:36:06. > :36:16.tail? It is lumpy. The difference between soup, a stew, consomme or
:36:16. > :36:23.
:36:23. > :36:33.brass? Consomme is a clear liquid. It uses a quite to remove mustiness.
:36:33. > :36:42.DUP think I'm stupid? It is a classic dish. -- do you think?
:36:42. > :36:46.have been a vegetarian for 20 years? 25 years. I was almost a
:36:47. > :36:56.chef. I was running a hamburger shop, which is a complicated thing
:36:57. > :36:58.
:36:58. > :37:05.to do. It was in Guernsey. The shop was called Chicken George. I walked
:37:05. > :37:11.into the wrong room to collect the meet at the wrong time. I worked as
:37:11. > :37:18.a butcher's boy in a butcher's shop. Maybe it takes different
:37:18. > :37:28.personalities. Did it not put you off? I thought, a no, that was it!
:37:28. > :37:30.
:37:30. > :37:37.Healthy eating came into it. It is your silver anniversary. It is. If
:37:37. > :37:41.I was younger I would kill my dog. Do not say that. He does not mean
:37:41. > :37:48.it. Sometimes when people say things on the show they do not mean,
:37:48. > :37:53.it does not make any difference. Could you retract that now? There
:37:53. > :37:57.will be loads of people going to Battersea Dogs Home for a barbecue
:37:57. > :38:04.right now! Many of you at home will be put in at your Christmas lights
:38:04. > :38:09.and decorations. Some folk always take things a little too far. Lucy
:38:09. > :38:15.Siegle is live with one such gentlemen in Bradford. This is
:38:15. > :38:24.brilliant. Hello, Chris. I am on the outskirts of Bradford. I wanted
:38:24. > :38:30.to check this out. Isn't that beautiful?! Absolutely amazing.
:38:30. > :38:36.Last Friday night I was in the company of a fire-engine obsessive,
:38:36. > :38:42.this Friday I am with a Christmas lights obsessive. I lost my dad
:38:42. > :38:48.five years ago through can serve. I raise money for the hospice.
:38:48. > :38:55.have really developed a passion for these bolts, haven't you? Each year
:38:55. > :39:01.it gets bigger and better. It will be visible from space! I hope so.
:39:01. > :39:10.Please can you pick a favourite thing? I know that is like asking
:39:10. > :39:16.you to pick a favourite child. on! It would have to be the polar
:39:16. > :39:24.bear. There are two. There are two of everything. People come from far
:39:24. > :39:30.and wide to see your lights. As far as Scotland. Some people see it by
:39:30. > :39:36.mistake. If you are on an aeroplane from Leeds-Bradford airport, you
:39:36. > :39:41.can see it. You would have to be it on the left-hand side of the plane.
:39:41. > :39:47.You are a twisted genius when it comes to Christmas lights. A lot of
:39:47. > :39:55.people have it inflicted on him. This is inflicted on his neighbours.
:39:55. > :40:05.How did they feel? Does it ever get too much? No, not at all. As soon
:40:05. > :40:15.as you see the lights, we love it. That is a dangerous thing to say!
:40:15. > :40:19.
:40:19. > :40:23.love them. Isabel, do you love the lights? Why? It is nearly Christmas.
:40:23. > :40:29.Good lights? We get involved at every year. It is very cold but we
:40:29. > :40:37.are keeping warm with the Christmas spirit. We're up tripping the light
:40:37. > :40:44.fantastic. What you want to wish everybody? Happy Christmas! Are you
:40:44. > :40:50.a fan of Christmas lights like that? I think it is brilliant.
:40:50. > :40:56.about the rules in your household? When does it go up? Ask my wife.
:40:56. > :41:02.She makes the whole house like Santa's grotto. Are you doing it
:41:02. > :41:12.this weekend? She started on Friday. She put the few vines up the stairs.
:41:12. > :41:20.
:41:20. > :41:30.I do not know what they are! Gardens! Well done! -- garlands!
:41:30. > :41:31.
:41:31. > :41:35.She waited three of birth date to be finished. -- for your birthday.
:41:35. > :41:39.Is this a question that is decent and worth asking? Did you get
:41:39. > :41:47.married and have children just so you had something to talk about in
:41:47. > :41:53.your comedy act? No, I was not a comedian. I do not think I would
:41:53. > :41:59.have a comic actor if I was not married with children. A lot of it
:41:59. > :42:07.was about your relationship with your wife. I'll tell you what it is.
:42:07. > :42:13.I did not go into comedy thinking I would be a comedian. I fell into it.
:42:13. > :42:22.I have to go on stage and talk like I am talking to my mates. When I
:42:22. > :42:28.started comedy, I was split up. Talking about the last show, the
:42:28. > :42:38.sunshine top, I have three teenage boys. Anyone with three teenagers
:42:38. > :42:39.
:42:39. > :42:45.has a lot to moan about. I moan about my life and make people laugh.
:42:45. > :42:52.Not knowing what wages up coming in, I cannot guarantee you are going to
:42:52. > :42:59.get the presence you are used to getting at Christmas. They went,
:42:59. > :43:06.why, Dad? I said because I have left my job. What are you going to
:43:06. > :43:15.do? I said I am going to be a comedian. They went, you are not
:43:15. > :43:22.funny! That is it. They are allowed to set up because they are your
:43:22. > :43:27.pockets. Your first DVD sold 750,000 copies. How do you feel
:43:27. > :43:34.about the second one? It is not a case you look at numbers, I feel
:43:34. > :43:40.very lucky to be doing the job. There are up 10,000 people. To be
:43:40. > :43:44.on your own in front of 10,000 people, says something at the end
:43:44. > :43:50.and they all laugh, it is the brilliant feeling. You finished
:43:50. > :43:56.your tour in the summer. You have a new one next year. It is called
:43:56. > :44:06.roller-coaster. I was sitting round and I needed a name. One of my sons
:44:06. > :44:10.
:44:10. > :44:15.came up with the name. The other said, My Dad Going To Work. That is
:44:15. > :44:25.next year. It is at the Renos starting next September. It will be
:44:25. > :44:26.
:44:26. > :44:30.based on what goes on between now and then. Let's hope lots goes on.
:44:30. > :44:40.You have a Christmas special. Do you come there's been a height of
:44:40. > :44:42.
:44:42. > :44:47.summer? We filmed it in Salford in July. -- film bears. I was wearing
:44:47. > :44:55.a Christmas jumper. All these people were in vests and sandals.
:44:55. > :45:04.They were saying, this is ridiculous. We have an exclusive
:45:04. > :45:13.club. You get a present and she will wrap it up and it is as if it
:45:13. > :45:18.is going on the back of a yak for three weeks. A bloke crapping
:45:18. > :45:28.something up basically means putting it in a different bag. --
:45:28. > :45:34.
:45:34. > :45:39.wrapping. That is on Boxing Day, Are you staying for the rest of the
:45:39. > :45:45.show? I do not know what is going on. It is like having a chat with
:45:45. > :45:50.my nan. I hope you love this. We have some extraordinary ladies here
:45:50. > :45:55.tonight, who are 20 out of 100 reasons why they could well be this
:45:55. > :46:01.year's Christmas number one. They are the Military Wives Choir,
:46:01. > :46:04.brought together for the BBC Two series The Choir with Gareth Malone.
:46:05. > :46:08.Their story has touched the nation. While their husbands and partners
:46:08. > :46:18.are fighting in Afghanistan, they hold of the thing together back
:46:18. > :46:44.

:47:54. > :48:04.# I will keep you safe along the dark way
:48:04. > :48:04.
:48:04. > :48:14.# Wherever I am # I will pray each day it feels
:48:14. > :48:18.safe return # Light up the darkness, my world

:49:11. > :49:17.Was that OK? Gareth, tell us the story. Who are these women and
:49:17. > :49:20.where did you get them? These women are all from Devon, they are placed
:49:20. > :49:24.in Devon while their husbands are in Afghanistan. I went and worked
:49:24. > :49:29.with them and created this wonderful choir. What was the
:49:29. > :49:33.point? To give them a voice, to get them heard, to make people
:49:33. > :49:37.understand what they go through and how they support the troops. It has
:49:37. > :49:42.become more than that because it is now about raising money for
:49:42. > :49:51.wonderful military charities. song will be out when? You can
:49:51. > :49:56.order it now and it is out on... If you order it now, it will count
:49:56. > :50:01.towards the Christmas number one sales. It is not about beating the
:50:01. > :50:04.X Factor, is it? No, it is not about beating anyone. It is about
:50:04. > :50:08.the charities who do so much fantastic work with military
:50:08. > :50:11.families all over the country. This is a really important thing. It is
:50:11. > :50:15.not the competition, it is about doing something really supportive
:50:15. > :50:23.for these women and for thousands like them all over the country.
:50:23. > :50:27.Where did the lyrics come from? of the words have come from women's
:50:27. > :50:32.letters, and men's letters, from Afghanistan. They donated their
:50:32. > :50:36.letters and a wonderful composer has created this beautiful piece.
:50:36. > :50:41.It has got their heart in it. When they sing it, I think you can hear
:50:41. > :50:47.how much feeling and emotion there is. And for how long the feeling
:50:47. > :50:54.has been pent up. I arrived, and they were reluctant to sing with
:50:54. > :50:58.emotion, stiff upper lip, British singing. And now it is like some
:50:58. > :51:02.gushing American outpouring. Incredibly emotional video. We
:51:02. > :51:07.noticed you were one of the soloists. Did you have to audition?
:51:07. > :51:13.Yes. Do you have a musical background? Did you know each other
:51:13. > :51:17.before? Have you just made friends through the video with Gareth?
:51:17. > :51:21.me, I have not been in the area that long so why did not know many
:51:21. > :51:25.people. Doing this was a great way to make friends and get myself out
:51:25. > :51:30.there and get more confidence. it comforting to share your
:51:30. > :51:34.experience with the other girls? Absolutely. Everybody supports each
:51:34. > :51:38.other. All of the girls know what the other girls are going through.
:51:38. > :51:42.So it makes it easier for us to be able to cope with the situation.
:51:42. > :51:48.But what the choir has done is just incredible. We never expected any
:51:48. > :51:51.of this. And all that we want to do now is to raise as much funds as we
:51:51. > :51:55.can for these two wonderful charities, the Royal British Legion
:51:55. > :52:01.and the other charity, whose support not just the soldiers, but
:52:01. > :52:05.support the soldiers' families, extended families. They need funds,
:52:05. > :52:10.and without us raising the funds, they can struggle at times. So the
:52:10. > :52:13.thing is, we need to get out there, sell as many... It is not about
:52:13. > :52:18.getting to number one, it is about selling as many copies as possible
:52:18. > :52:23.to raise as much funds as we can for these wonderful charities.
:52:23. > :52:29.very much deserve it. Hello to the other 80 girls who are at home. We
:52:29. > :52:32.are thinking about you. Earlier this year, we featured the story
:52:32. > :52:36.about a brave nine-year-old boy called Ethan who was born without
:52:36. > :52:44.an here. Here is a reminder of what happened and how his story gave
:52:44. > :52:48.hope to another young man. When he was born, we realise there

:52:53. > :52:59.instantly that he did not have an easier. Nine-year-old Ethan was
:52:59. > :53:06.born with a syndrome which meant he did not have one of his ears.

:53:29. > :53:32.and nervous. He is perfect to me, and to me he does not need it doing.
:53:32. > :53:38.But I understand how he feels and what he needs, and that is what I
:53:38. > :53:48.have to think. Seeing your child have an operation is not going to

:55:21. > :55:29.confident. He has joined the choir at school, he is taking part in
:55:29. > :55:38.sport a lot more. He seems to be socialising and speaking a bit more.
:55:38. > :55:48.It was one of the things I was always hoping for. That is the

:56:11. > :56:18.born with the same syndrome. Wow! Did you see that? Look at that.
:56:18. > :56:24.Magic! We watched the One Show and it was like, wow! Did you see that?

:56:46. > :56:51.said, he looks like I want to be, normal. Byron's family had
:56:51. > :57:00.travelled to Sheffield to meet Ethan. That is the first time they
:57:01. > :57:10.will see him. That looks fantastic. Byron, it feels brilliant. That is
:57:11. > :57:16.
:57:16. > :57:26.amazing! It is so soft. It is just like a normal here. I am quite
:57:26. > :57:26.
:57:26. > :57:31.amazed. I really want to have one. Before, had no confidence. After
:57:31. > :57:35.all mine operations, I have been more confident, meeting new people
:57:35. > :57:38.and talking to them and saying hello.
:57:38. > :57:42.Byron is waiting for the all-clear before he can be eligible for an
:57:43. > :57:47.operation like Ethan's. That is almost all for tonight. Thank you
:57:47. > :57:53.to John for joining us. There is DVD is out now. And thank you,
