02/12/2015 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker...

We met them 10 weeks ago and later we'll catch up with

the Wrights and find out how much weight they've lost as a family

Also, the fascinating story of the adopted daughter who cared

for her birth mother, but kept her own identity a secret.

Ireland's biggest family band are back - The Corrs are here!

Our very own family member, turned Strictly sensation, Anita Rani

APPLAUSE You give them a bit of music and

they can't stop dancing, can they? And, on the sofa now, a family man

with four sons, who was also He is now starring in a play

about the ego-driven battle between You are leaving here and going

straight on stage, aren't you tonight? Jumping on a taxi bike off

to the Trafalgar studios. Have you a fizz in your body? I will when I

leave here, I'm worried about being later. My cost umm up is a man's

suit much I will do a change of the hair and stuff. It's about family

tonight. We have a lovely picture of you and Martin here, as little boys.

Ah. Look at you there. My hair was wet with sweat, I had been playing

football in t playground I remember. There was an incident where you

tried to make Martin sweeter? When he came home from hospital he was in

a cot, I was jealous. I got a tin of golden syrup in the kitchen and

pouring that on you are face, followed by a bag of sugar. Covered

his face. I remember seeing air bubbles popping up through the

sugar. My mum ran in. Now, it's a yearly condition! He's sweet enough.

That is why he's so good-looking! We will talk as we go through tonight's

programme. You may have seen in the news today

the story of the very brave Lee Their incredible courage has

benefited two other people's lives after she became Britain's

youngest organ donor. To help combat a decline in donors

a new system, which has been successful in Europe, was introduced

in Wales yesterday, in which everyone will have to opt-out or

they're automatically opted in. A big change here in Wales. If you

are over the age of 18 it's assumed you are happy to be an organ donor

unless you've opted out. So what do people here in Cardiff make of the

new law and what have decided to do? I'm hitting the street with a list

of organs people can donate and I have a tablet to sign them up here

and now. Organ donation has changed in Wales. Best thing ever. Why? My

dad had a kidney transplant. The law has changed? Good. Everybody should

do it. Would you be persuaded to do it now, I don't want to pressure

you, only if you feel comfortable? No, that's fine. If I can help

someone live longer it is all right when I'm gone. I don't want to be an

organ donor. My boy is ill. Anyone could save my son's life. Would you

donate all of these organs to somebody? Not really. My kidneys are

my kidneys, my heart is my heart. Everyone is opted in unless they

opt-out? I think it's good. Do you? People won't get off their lazy back

sides. Don't go on Facebook and moan saying we need this and that unless

you do something about it. On most occasions I object to being opted

in. I prefer the choice being mine. In this case I'm fine with it. Are

you signed up? Am I? I don't think so. I don't think so. It takes two

minutes if you would like to opt-in here and now? OK. Is that something

you have been meaning to doo-doo for a while? It is. I never get round to

doing it. Today you have the One Show to thank. Is there anything on

there you wouldn't want to to donate. My skin and bone. I would

give him my kidneys if they have to. He can have everything if it's worth

having. Other than my eyes. I find that too personal. The lot. Kidneys,

bone? Yeah. Lungs? My lungs are shocking, I smoke. No point giving

them them. Only Wales doing this so far, but the organs will go to treat

anyone in the UK? That's not fair, is it? If its saves somebody's life,

we shouldn't look at it that like. If it is Wales it should be

restricted until the same thing is applied across the board. Pull your

finger out, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. That is what I

say. You tell them. Gary, are you in favour of this new opt-out system I

think it's a good idea. I would. I've been lazy enough or not thought

about it and put my name down. If people are concerned they will

opt-out as opposed to opt-in. The rest of the UK and how it will work

with Wales? There is only one organ donor register. It's a UK one. Any

point you can opt-in or out. Anyone can go online or call up the NHS

Blood and Transplant and do it in two minutes. Very easy. If you don't

opt-in and out like Gary. If you live in Wales and you are over the

age of 18 you will be automatically enrolled. That doesn't happen in the

rest of the UK. So in Wales it will be presumed deemed consent will be

presumed that you are happy for your organs to be donated. When you die

your family will be approached on that basis. Those organs do spread

across the UK then it's not just Wales? Yes. As you saw in the film.

An organ donation register for the UK not just Wales. How much

difference is that going to make to organ donor numbers The law changed

yesterday. Up until that point 34% of people in Wales had opted in. 3%

of people had opted out. That left 63% who had done neither. OK. Those

people are effectively now on the register. If you look at it in those

terms, 97% of people are theoretically on the register in

Wales. I would say the most important thing in all of this is,

not just to make a decision, but talk to your family you don't have

to be on the register. If you are not on the Regster your family will

be asked what your wishes were. In this case you might be for it, but

if you haven't spokenen to your family and you ask them, or they are

asked in the event of your death what you wanted - They might be

precious about it? They might. In situations where people can donate

43% of families say no because they didn't know the wishes of their

loved ones. Talk to your family and make them aware. The run-up to that

potential donor is key. That is why you need to have people on the

register. They have to find a potential match in the last few

days? There are teams of special lists in every hospital working hard

and doctors and nurses who will work with the families. Families are

consulted on the decision. In terms of those families making the right

decision, ones they are happy with, make it easy for them. Tell your

family what you want. It's the best way of making sure your wishes -

It's better to be on the list? If you are in Wales and automatically

enrolled and die in England you are not on the register. The Welsh law

doesn't apply in Scotland or England. -- apply. The UK is lagging

am we are not one of the best in Europe at this. Spain is leading the

way. We have a lot to do. It will be interesting if this makes a

difference. Joe thank you very much. For more information

on organ donation head to Ed Roller Derby is gaining momentum

over here. We have skaters outside the studio tonight. They are padded

up. Angellica is with them. Right now the North Cheshire Victory

Rollers are playing against Rainy City Roller Girls Bet Lynch Mob.

Courtney, are responsible for (loss of sound)... I certainly am, yes.

Right now the North Cheshire Victory Rollers are playing against the

Rainy City Roller Girls Bet Lynch Mob. I'm joined by Courtney. You are

responsible for bringing the game over to the UK. Tell us what it is

about in a nutshell? The game is a full contact sport played on roller

skates. There are two teams on the track. Watch out. One girl from each

team is the jammers much they will try to score as many points as they

can. It's a full contact sport with body slams and action and jumps.

Everyone is getting involved. Why is it so popular? It's a unique sport.

Where can ladies get their aggression out and play full contact

sport. It has a cheeky fun attitude to it. I like it. Join us later to

find out what the score is. This is interesting. It's a way to get

aggression out. Does this appeal to you? No. About 20 years agricultural

my son I took to buy rollerblades. I thought I will be a cool dad and get

a pair too. That evening he had to sit with me in Accident Emergency.

I came off and broke a wrist! I'm off of those. Fail. As we said you

are heading off to the theatre tonight because you are in Harold

Pinter's Homecoming. It's one of his most popular plays, it's about a

struggle within a family. Give it to us in a nutshell. 1965, the mother

died a few years before. It's an old man, the dad, Max, and Lenny, one of

the sons, and Joey Andreas uncle Sam. They bicker the whole time. In

a funny way. Hysterical way. I come home after six years. I have gone to

America. I'm an academic trying to get beyond this family. I bring back

this amazing looking woman, Ruth, who is my wife. They don't know

about her. She ends up running the house by the end, pretty much in an

extraordinary way. I don't think that is giving too much away. It's

quite a cast you are on stage with. Quite a cast. Lovely photos. Gemma

Chan is my wife, Ruth. Beautiful girl. Amazing, great actor. Ron Cook

is the old man. That is me at the back. John Simm, we know John. And

Keith Allen who is... John Macmillan. You feel a real

connection with Harold Pinter and his past? I loved Pinter growing up.

I loved his dialogue and making working-class languaged and

heightened it and got the rhythms in it and the humour of it. I tried to

put it on, actually. A friend of mine, when I was 18, we borrowed

this set from the Young Vic we set up in a church hall. How old were

you? 18. Very driven. There is a dumb waiter who played the dumb

waiter. It has to be operated by someone. Steve Norman, who is from

Spandau Ballet. He would operate the dumb waiter. It was warm in there.

He fell asleep in there. It didn't deliver the food. We had to kick it.

It was a great thing to do. I loved being part of that that play and

this language that he has. It's wonderful. Listening to the audience

enjoying it every night is fantastic. It seems inevitable

really that you have had this part because years agricultural, back in

the 90s, is it right that Gary Oldman suggested that you and him

should both be in this play My ex-of wife was working with Gary on

Dracula. He suggested it would be a good role for him as the Lenny part

and me as Teddy. I never thought anything of it, it never happened.

25 years later here I am playing Teddy. You think of you being on

stage with you being up for being an actor at 18. Was was music get in

the way? I started off as child actor, I worked with Phil Daniels,

and Cathy Burke. Then I got into music. There was a conscious moment

when I left that and went into music. I wanted to go back there. I

got the Kras and the Bodyguard. I don't prefer one to the other, but I

do prefer performance. I think being on stage, whether it is as an actor

or musician is the best part of both jobs. I'm lucky to have have done

both. You can feed off the audience Every night it's fresh, different

story every night. Let us hope tonight goes well. If you would like

to go and see Harold Pinter's Homecoming it's at the Trafalgar

Studios until February next year. It is.

Time now for the incredible story of a woman who spent 25 years looking

for her birth mother and then a further 24 years looking after her.

All the while keeping her true identity a secret from her.

when she was left at an orphanage. She was told nothing about her

mother and was later adopted by a local Catholic family. What was life

like with your adoptive parents? They were kind but I never fitted

in. There was lots of secrecy around the adoption and I was told both my

parents died of TB. I was only young and I had to believe what they said.

In her mid-20s, a trained nurse and with children of her own, she set

out on a journey to find her mother and had a breakthrough after months

of detective work. Suddenly after having nothing I had her name and

address and she was alive. Her birth mother Bridget Mary Larkin was not

only alive but living in the same City. There was something else, her

long lost mother was a chronic alcoholic, a troublemaker well known

to the police. Locals called vertebrae Mary Mary. None of this

put Phyllis of meeting her but she decided to go in her nurses uniform

as if she were a professional rather than her daughter. -- Tipperary

Mary. When you were about to meet your mother for the first time how

were you feeling? Extremely anxious, it was surreal. Did it feel

different being in your nurses uniform? I felt as though I was

protected being in my uniform and it helped me to hide behind that.

Phyllis was finally going to come face-to-face with the mother who had

given her away as a baby. That is where I first met my mother. Here?

Yes, each step she was taking I thought, my gosh, my mother is

getting closer. The door flung open and there she was. What did she say?

She did not seem to care who I was, just wanted to talk to someone.

Within minutes she mentioned Phyllis, the little girls she had

given away. I felt moved I was so important to her. Why didn't you

tell her the truth about who you were then? I wanted to tell her so I

could take the pain away. It was one of the hardest moments, not to tell

her. I had a family I had to consider. I was torn between them.

For the next eight years she visited as a nurse, never quite finding the

right moment to tell her the truth. I added it to my rounds and

officially and cared for her. Due to the alcoholism, she could not cope.

Bridget would often ramble about the baby daughter she had given up. She

said she always intended to come back for me but it was never going

to happen. How did you manage not to tell her that you were her daughter?

The alcohol affected her behaviour. As much as I wanted to tell her, I

was conscious that I couldn't have it disrupt my life. She was too

damaged? That is a good way of putting it, sadly she was. That is

the awkward part. I could only have her in my life on my terms. With her

mother 's mental state deteriorating Phyllis made the decision to reveal

her chew identity -- true identity. I sat her and I held her hand and I

said, I'm Phyllis, the daughter you gave away. I thought, she does not

seem to be taking it in and I realised, mentally, the alcohol had

taken its toll to the point where she had got dementia. I should have

told her sooner and it was sad I left it so long. Soon after

Phyllis's mother was taken to a nursing home suffering from severe

dementia. Phyllis continued to visit her for 13 years until her mother

died, never realising that her loving nurse was really her long

lost daughter. Thank you, Wendy and Phyllis is with us now to talk about

this more. What a remarkable story, adventure that you went on. Going

through those trips and meetings with your mum. You must have learned

so much about yourself and discovered so much about your past.

Certainly. It was a very special relationship that we developed.

Because of the situation, I was a nurse and I was able to care for her

and I learned to love her as my mother in a way I would never have

been able to had I not been a district nurse at the time. We heard

that she struggled with alcoholism but were their qualities, lovely

qualities that you thought, I can see myself in her now. She really

was likeable. I took to her straightaway. A very lively and

eccentric character. Very loud. She liked talking a lot and I'm quite a

chatterbox. Are you? ! We made that connection very quickly. Possibly

because I was a nurse I had that understanding of her vulnerability

and I was able to pick on that and really warmed to her that way. I

really just wanted to help her and make a difference to her life

because she had had such a hard life. It made me realise how hard it

was for her and what she had done, leaving me in an orphanage when I

was eight months old because she felt it would give me a better life

because she knew that she was addicted to alcohol. She must have

realised she had a dysfunctional life and she was struggling to bring

me up so she felt the best way would be to put me somewhere I would be

safe. She did her best. She did have my interests at heart but she was

torn because she wanted to keep me. Thinking back before you actually

went up to the house and the reasons you wanted to do it and what you are

letting yourself in for and your family as well. They would be

affected by it. Was it the right decision and would you do it again?

It was the only decision because of the condition she was in, any other

way, I would never have had chance to meet her because the relationship

would have broken down because of the problem is that she had and

because I had a family at the time that were young, obviously my

husband, I had to put their welfare first. Her dysfunctional life would

have caused problems. The relationship would not have worked.

I feel that that would have been hard for her to accept. Phyllis,

thanks so much for sharing this with us and it has been wonderful to meet

you. Phyllis has turned her story into a

book, Finding Tipperary Mary, that Word has it that you have been

approached about making the story into a movie. There is certainly

interest there, so that is quite exciting. Ridley Scott, potentially.

He is just one of them! We will have you back next year to talk about

that. It will be great. Moving away from families, we have a film about

wildlife now. When it comes to small, well, it is the best at

capturing its prey. The title of the most effective hunter in the animal

kingdom does not go to a shark, bird of prey or even a big cat. Twice as

effective as the most celebrated apex predator there is one animal

that hunts with a staggering 95% success rate. The dragonfly.

Dragonflies are evolution three marbles, capable of performing

almost any aerial manoeuvre. Hovering, gliding, somersaulting,

and flying close to 40 mph, their prey does not stand a chance.

Analysing a dragonfly in-flight is an alien possible with the naked eye

so I am hoping to film one in super slow motion. First I want to

understand what makes them so much faster than their prey. Simon Walker

is an expert in aerodynamics. The problem with wings, like on a

helicopter, aeroplane or insect, beyond a certain speed vibration

causes the aeroplane or insect to fall from the sky. The obvious

solution is to slow down but then you would not catch your prey. What

is interesting is that dragonflies have their own way of solving this,

a concentration of mass at the front of their wing, near the wing tip.

Without this they would not be able to fly as fast and obviously for

dragonflies that is important because they are aerial predators.

To film a dragonfly we first need to catch one and it's no wonder they

are hard to catch, they have been perfecting their skills for 300

million years. That is true, they were a lot larger back then. But to

60 centimetres across. I'm not sure this would be good enough! We are

going to need a bigger net. Soon we have locked eyes with our target. He

is thinking about landing. Did you get it? Yes! Good catch. Good

skills. Well, this is a southern water dragonfly and it is one that

hunts its prey in the air. It is time we got this back to the lab.

Dragonflies don't survive for long in captivity so most of these are

conducted on wild dragonflies, this one will be returned after filming.

The animal flight group at Oxford University Works with cutting-edge

cameras to better understand flight in the natural world. Adrian

Thomas, a professor of biomechanics will help to analyse the wing beats

in super slow motion. How does this help us? These cameras are recording

4000 frames per second will stop slowing everything down 160 times.

If it works I should be able to see the flight of a dragonfly. For the

cameras it needs to take off in a specific direction. But that's

easier said than done. Then on the fifth attempt...

Each wing has an individual set of muscles which pull it down and up

and twisting and changing, the curve of the wing. They have total

control. It's flapping its wings out of phase. And then they start

flapping at the same time. It switches into that mode. They can

switch from one to another and that is why they are so agile. They are

unpredictable in the sense they can change what they are doing within a

wing beat butterfly, when you see them in your living room, they don't

go in smooth circles but circles with corners but dragonflies, you

can predict how it will turn and it will cut the corner. They are not

evolved to the peak of performance in terms of catching prey but in air

to air combat over territory. That's the secret, over engineering allows

the dragonfly to almost always catch prey, but then again it has had more

than 300 million years to perfect its deadly aerial agility. You

cannot beat footage like that! Wasn't the summer lovely? I can't

even remember now, it seems like ages ago.

Here are two more movers, shaking up the competition on this

Please welcome quarterfinalists Anita and Gleb. You obviously look

very happy, are you satisfied with a quarterfinal place? I can't believe

we have come so far, when I started obviously I thought it would be

great, let's learn to dance, but I did not appreciate how hard it would

be and everyone is so good. We want to go as far as the British public

wants us to go. How far! I feel as though we have this wave of public

support and they have got behind us. The girl from Countryfile is doing

what? ! You had never danced before? Yes, this is totally new and it's

thanks to this guy. I have to say it is difficult sitting between these

two! I feel sorry for Alex! Carreon! Let's have a look at the

competition. You, Helen George, Jay, Katie Derham, Georgia and Kellie.

Out of them, who is your stiffest competition? All of them are

brilliant. You are not going to get anything out of me. I am my own

stiffest competition. As a choreographer, Gleb, you are be

asleep trying to create routines that the public will love. You have

done Strictly all over the world, how does Britain compared? It's the

best. This programme is broadcast all over the world! Carreon. It is

the same concept in every country but little things are different, the

production is different. For example in America we are allowed to do

lists in pretty much every single dance. -- lifts. You have to learn

the technique and the steps. Don't give away our tips! We just ring up

the pluses and cover up the minuses and that's what we do every week. He

brings out the best in me is what he is trying to say. It is hard because

people who have trained have ways of focusing on a point in the room and

I have none of that. What is the thing that you struggled with and

overcome? The dancing, period! It is hard to learn from scratch every

week and it's a different dance every week, where to place your

feet. If you don't know how to point, turn, spot turn coming you

just have too, whatever Gleb teaches me and I do on Saturday. This is

your highest score? Yes, you get into character very well and that is

the most important thing on the show. I imagine you would be good at

the paso doble, Gary! I don't think it would suit me, actually!

Somehow I found this, I love getting into the character. I notice that.

Your face is so powerful in everything you do. It's important.

We learn the technique. Oh, yeah, look at that. So dramatic. What a

finish. Spectacular. What about this week then? It's musical week, isn't

it this week? What are you doing Talk about character, we are doing

Chicago and cell block Tango. It's the Argentine Tango. That will be

done beautifully. Look how full of life she is because of this show.

There is rumours of a Spandau Ballet musical, is there not People have

been muting the idea. It's about the story. You have to find a good

story. The songs are, I'm sure they will work. People will sing-a-long.

Unless you string them along with a good tale they don't really work.

Maybe our viewers could help. Email in your thoughts. It's interesting

because I have this calendar it's telling me it's the Chris office

party season. While we have Gleb here. We will get thoughts on how to

style it out on the dance floor. It might feel awkward. We will put

music on to help out. Don't take your shirt off. You are welcome to

get up and show us. Well, just be cool. Put one hand in the pocket.

Just feel the music. Feel the music. Pretend. If you don't know how to

dance, pretend you know how to dance. He looks like Tony Hadley.

And the look. Give a look. There's the camera. YEAH! We hope that helps

to all the people at the office party. The chances are Gleb won't

stop doing this. I think everybody enjoyed that little egg meant there.

Gary you are due on stage in 30 minutes. Lovely having you here

tonight with us. Thank you. Good luck with the play tonight. See you

soon. Is -- segment. Anita, we are about to play the first of two your

two films you made with us. As if dancing isn't enough, you have made

programmes for the One Show as well. Will you do the honours.

On average, ?377 billion is transferred around the globe each

year via money transfer facilities, here are just a few stories

It's another busy day of trading. We send money all over the world.

Westgreen Road is an area of huge ethnic dies versety. Like many of

our cities across the UK, alongside the pound stores and betting shops

money transfer agents are bringing up on high streets. People with

families overseas turn to them. Every transaction tells a story. I

send money to my mum back in Hungary. This is the equivalent of

what they earn in one month. The money is to support the funeral. The

money will go to my grandmother's medication. Money sent in this way

is known as remittances. The number of transactions we do yearly I would

say is over 50,000. We transfer over ?5 millionberg year. Today's rate is

180.55. We click on send and within a matter of minutes the money is on

the other side of the world. Sometimes the receiver will be at

the location in the queue, that is how quick it is. The amounts sent

home vary. Some may send home ?400 to ?500 a month. Other tran actions

are smaller. I had somebody who wanted to send ?6 money for lunch or

bus fare. Despite the small scale of transactions in 2014, an estimated

?377 billion worth of remittances were sent globally. ?16 billion sent

from the UK. Britain is the fourth largest sender after the US, Saudi

Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Two men who use this shop regularly

are Daniel and Arden. Daniel left with the intention of sending money

home to Romania. He does a variety of labouring and maintenance jobs.

Whafrp he can find. We joined him working as a removal man. Loft

conversions, plumbing, electric, tiles, plastering, painting.

Building work. Everything that involves the hands and the brain, I

do everything. London it OK. A nice city. It's green, trees, parks. They

have to work to pay their rent and bills. He manages to sent home ?2 in

every ?3 he earns. In contrast to Daniel, three years agricultural

Arden moved to the UK from den Kenya with his English wife. They live

here in the leafy suburbs of North London with their two children. He's

three-and-a-half. He was born in Kenya. And his brother is 18 days

old. He was born in Whiting don Hospital in London. Arden workses as

a programme manager. He held a similar job back in Kenya. This is a

picture of the town where I was born. There is a lot of poverty.

Very poor. Despite the demands of a newborn baby he sends a quarter of

his monthly salary to his family all of whom are still living in Kenya.

My brother, the money that I send to him is essentially to support his

university fees, ?400 per semester. I have to support the people without

the means. Instead of spending his wages on nights out life for Daniel

is spent watching TV and relaxing before another hard day labouring. I

miss my family, country and friends. I haven't seen my son in

four-and-a-half years. He is growing up without his father and he doesn't

know me. When I go home I'm scared he doesn't recognise me. It's the

last Friday of the months. The busiest period for the money

transfer shop. As local workers receive their pay and come in

straightaway to send some home. Daniel and Arden are transferring

money much-needed by their siblings. I'm sending a message to send him

the code number so he can collect it tomorrow from the branch in Nairobi.

Sent. I'm happy. Why? I help my sister. I feel good I'm sending him

the money. It's for my family, not for somebody else. Do stay tuned to

see how far that money goes. Fascinating. We follow it back to

Daniel's and Arden's home countries. Angellica is out there with the

ladies outside. What is the score so far? The score is that the North

Cheshire Victory Rollers, in yellow, and the Bet Lynch Mob have 53. It's

fast and furious and there is all to play for. We will give you the final

score at the end of the show. I would go Bet Lynch Mob. What a great

name that is. Massive earrings. The animal print.

But don't worry, in just a moment we've got Ireland's

most sucessful family band, The Corrs, gracing our sofa.

But now, a family who we met 10 weeks ago.

The Wright family from Wolverhampton.

They opted to take part in a council-funded scheme to lose

With 70% of people in Wolverhampton either overweight or obese, the City

Council decided enough was enough and launched a healthy living

programme targeting entire families. Yes. It's an apple. Is it a thumbs

up. The Wrights were signed up to the five-star family scheme after

twins were flagged as technically obese by their school nurse. It's a

big opportunity to make life a lot healthier. Ten weeks on I'm here to

find out how they have got on and whether the council's gamble in this

time of austerity has been money well spent. How are you? Fine, thank

you. Look at you. I don't need to ask if it's working? It's working

very well. Thank you. You have lost a lot of weight? Over three stone.

Fantastic. You must be really pleased? I am very pleased, thank

you. Let us see what is happening tonight? Let's go. Come on then. Why

it's a welcome side affect weight loss isn't the be all of the course.

Families learn about exercise, nutrition and portion control. Have

you been surprised at how relatively easy you have found it? Very. I

didn't think it would be as easy as it is. I was sceptical when I first

started much I thought I would struggle, especially getting the

children to change their habits much I didn't manage I could do it, but

they have done well. Helen helped to develop the scheme. Having someone

who really wanted to do it but presumably not every family is like

that? No, it is really, really difficult much they need to do - to

want that themselves. If they feel a change in themselves they feel

healthier, happier, they will want to do it. How difficult is it for

people when theyth programme stops and then they are out there and they

have to motivate themselves? That's when the real work starts. There is

no doubt about it. But we are up for it in Wolverhampton. The course

costs the council ?139 for each family. Ten weeks agricultural seven

other families were lined up alongside the Wrights, two have

since dropped out. Even so, it's money well spent, according to

Wolverhampton's Cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing, Sandra

Sammuals much we can't crack it on our own as a local authority. We

need schools and workplaces to encourage individuals. We have to

make some impact. We will do. We will do. The course has made an

impact on the Wright family's daily life. They now walk to school and

have yoga sessions led by big sister. A major change, learned on

the course, is mum Heather's simple way to ensure he is not overloading

the family's plates at meal times. These are the children's hands. Each

centre of these is a portion size. That portion size, did that come as

a bit of a surprise to you? Yeah. It did. Having this now as a guide is

easier than just piling it on and thinking - that looks right, when

it's not. Even dad, Stuart, has seen an improvement. I think I've lost

about a stone since I've been doing it. Can you see a difference in the

children? Yeah. They seem to be more lively. A little bit more energy.

They enjoy it. Go for it. That's it. How confident are you that you can

keep it going into the future? I'm very confident, it's working. I need

to keep it going for them really, for their health, their future. The

schemes have been a success. 50 new groups are being started in January.

Good luck to everybody who takes part.

Now from 1990 to 2005 one group of Irish siblings were regularly

topping the charts with some of the most beuatiful,

# Leave me breathless # I have run away, yeah, yeah

# Because we are so young now # We are so young, so young now

# And when tomorrow comes we can do it all again... #

We are singing every word. It takes us back.

I am so delighted that you are back together. Thank you! A ten year

break, who instigated the restart? That was me. I personally wanted to

do some music again together and I called everyone up and planted the

seed. Everyone was enthusiastic. Were you sensing that it was going

to happen all were use a prized? It felt right, when Caroline made the

call it felt like the right time. For us, you know, we had an amazing

career. We wanted to have children, and we have done that and we have

eight gorgeous kids between us at this stage. That took up the

intervening ten years. There is something very organic about music

and being family and what we do. It felt like the right time. It is

lovely. Really great. When you listen to the new album you

instantly know it's the Corrs. It is taking us back again. You were

worried that the spark may have diffused? Did it happen naturally

again or did it come easily, or was it tougher? Fortunately it did flow

from the beginning but I suppose there was a bit of anxiety because

you never know. Writing is mysterious. In that you don't know

if you will be inspired, between you, will you still have the magic?

Fortunately we realised pretty quickly that we did. Was the writing

process like it used to be or did you find others were coming up with

different ideas, you never used to come up with ideas, what's going on?

! Well, we just brought ideas that we had to the table and started

working on them. We were inspired pretty much straightaway. Including

Ellis Island. We have a good working relationship and we all work on the

songs at the end of the day. It's been great fun. Very relaxed this

time. That was important. There is a lovely dedication to your parents on

the back of the album, they have sadly passed away now. How

influential were they and how hands-on were they ten years ago?

Well, mum and dad... Man has been gone longer than that now, but we

grew up with music and mum and dad had a band together. It was their

passion, music was their passion. Their band was called the Sound A

Fair, like a love affair. We grow up with month taping songs from the

radio that they used to sing at the weekend around the local clubs. We

were in the bin this without thinking it was different. Dad

taught us piano and we went on to different instruments. -- we were

surrounded by this without thinking it was different. Musically they did

tell us to chase our dreams. Am I right in saying that you first

perform together at your dad 's funeral? Obviously that was an

incredibly emotional time. We felt we needed to do it for him and

certain songs that we wanted to play. And we did it for him. There

is a song on the album called Gerry's Real. It has a lot of Irish

rhythm. Is that how you put it together? It kind of has his

personality but you react in different ways to loss. One of our

big reactions was defiance, in a certain way. You know, rather than

being melancholy, the record obviously has had a huge impact on

the songs that we have written. The record on the whole is really life

affirming actually. In the face of the loss of... Grab it while you

can, kind of thing. Gerry's Real does have that. The new album White

Light is out now and the Corrs will be performing at the end of the

show. Now, as we have

a world famous family right in front of us let's meet family number two

on The One Show Advent Calendar. The calendar will be made up of

One Show viewers, expecting an Andrea, please can you introduce

who's behind door number two? Joshua's proud parents,

James and Suzanne from Nottingham, say he is the best early Christmas

present ever because he wasn't due He's one week old today

and is still in an incubator Despite being nine weeks premature,

James and Suzanne say he is doing Although he may not be home

in time for Christmas, it will still be a very special time

for all the family. So a very happy One Show Christmas

to the Hayden-Harle family! If you've got a reason why Christmas

is going to be particularly special email us at the usual address

and you could make up this year's Are you going to get some

roller-skates for Christmas after seeing what's going on outside? They

are still battling out there in the roller derby, it is a full contact

sport which is growing rapidly. Surely the carnage is now coming to

an end. Come on over, girls, let's find out the final score. North

Cheshire Victory Rollers 78, the Bet Lynch Mob 95. Well done! Tell me why

you love playing this sport. It is empowering for women to play an

aggressive game and you can take your kids along. It's really

inclusive and you have people of different ages and sporting

abilities and it's really good fun. It's not just for women but men as

well. Men are starting to get in on the action but women are still

dominating the sport. We hope we have inspired you and if you would

like to find out there is a documentary currently on BBC iPlayer

and tell the 19th of December. Well done everybody and thanks for being

here! That is brilliant. There you are, next time they get together I

will be there! Earlier we met Romanian-born Daniel

and Kenyan born Arden who both work in the UK and send their hard-earned

money back to their home countries From north London to the teeming

City of Nairobi in Kenya. And to a tiny village in northern Romania. We

are following remittance payments from sender to receiver. London

office worker Arden has sent ?320 to his brother in Kenya, it is to pay

his university tuition fees three times a year. And Romanian handyman

Daniel has sent a regular monthly transfer to his sister from London

to a small grocery store near her home. TRANSLATION: To be honest it

breaks my heart because I know my brother works hard for this money

but I really need the money because I have three kids, two are in

school. It's important. Ibrahimovic is in the busy district of Eastleigh

in Nairobi, the $500 sent from London is a lot of money so security

measures have to be put in place. If you put it in your wallet the money

will be detected by gangs and you could be robbed. Any time I pick up

money, this is what I do. I just keep watching for any suspicious

person, they could come from any side. I just act as though I'm not

carrying anything. An estimated ?900 million was sent to Kenya in

remittances, 30% from the UK. These transfers are crucial to people's

livelihoods here and across the continent. Millions of pounds was

transferred to sub Saharan Africa, millions more -- 20% more than

overseas aid. It keeps him in school. There is a lot of investment

to start businesses and it will help people to be independent in the

future. Back in Rome any of the first thing Karina does with the

money that Daniel sent from the UK is to make sure there is enough food

on the table to feed her family. Food prices in remain your are not

much cheaper than the UK so spending ?30 today will not last very long. I

bought meat, chicken livers, cereal for the children. It should last

three days. Food is the first priority but Karina spends the

majority of the money builders merchant. Today she is buying three

bags of cement. And this is why. Seven years ago Karina and her

husband started building their own home bit by bit with the cash sent

from the UK. We are very poor. For us, a house is something wholly.

It's not just Karina that shares that view, everywhere you look in

this small village there are houses being built with cash sent from

abroad. Everyone invests in houses. They all build their houses

according to their budget, some people build big houses and some

smaller, some are just one room. At Kenya university it is Ibrahimovic

's' final year of his business IT degree. -- Ibrahim's final year. As

a fee-paying student he thinks his brother paying his these is giving

him the best start. It is better to concentrate on your studies and

after you finish you can concentrate on getting a job and I am very lucky

because I'm getting this education. I can at least make a difference in

Kenya. While remittance payments are creating great opportunities the

other side of the tale is the heartache which comes with not

seeing loved ones for years or decades. We showed Karina and her

family footage of Daniel in London and they broke down. They have not

seen him for seven years. We get money and can afford a better life

but the negative side is the fact that there are many families that

break-up, children are abandoned by their parents. Now we see them as

desperate people trying to make a future for their children. A big

thank you to Daniel and Arden is gave families for letting us follow

their stories. That's nearly it. Good luck the quarterfinals.

Strictly is on on Saturday. Tomorrow we will have Josh Grogan and

Florence and the Machine. But now from their new album
