03/01/2017 The One Show

You might feel a bit queasy. Come on. You sure are? I really think we

need to do our research. Get under the skin of our guests from Silent

Witness tonight. If you are feeling weird and you want to get out of

here, just let me know. Are you ready? Lightweight!

Hello and welcome to the The One Show. I am all right. With us

tonight are the stars of the long-running crime drama who are

bang in the middle of a gripping story which concludes tonight. There

is nothing that this pair do not know about a corpse. From Silent

witness it is Emilia Fox and Liz Carr.

APPLAUSE. -- Silent Witness. Are you all right? Part of the chair has

come loose! I am fine, but my footplate just flew off. It is the

excitement. Hopefully you're not planning on moving. We have got this

very serious cast shot of you all on set in the science lab. It all looks

very serious but we understand that things get livened up, Liz, with the

use of a dobber. Or a dib. There are different views on what it is

called. This is a thing. IPod it would be quite something to take

Emilia Fox and the rest of the cast to the Gala bingo. Have you won

anything? I was quite competitive. Very serious. She was really really

good. We were talking in between and you don't do that. They were strict

rules. In between it, Emilia was on the table games. The other bingo

that you took me to... That was wild bingo! We have also been to gay

bingo! Have you got your own dippers or dabblers? I kept mine! We will be

inundated with viewers. We know that many elderly people will be feeling

the effects of the cold weather at this time of year and it is

predicted to be around -6 in some parts of the UK tonight. We were

surprised to discover that you can suffer from the effects of the cold

at higher temperatures than that and as Nick reports, it has had serious

repercussions in the Army leading to lots of compensation claims. This is

former soldier Wayne Hodgkinson, he has an invisible but permanent

injury. I cannot feel my hands or feet. He has something called norm

freezing cold injury, the most well-known is strange that. They

feel dead. Dead. Like they are not part of me any more. It means he has

constant pain and almost no feeling in his hands and feet. Basically I

wake up in the morning, pins and needles, throughout the day.

Night-time, it does not change. He was on a training exercise in 2009

with his regiment. For five days they slept outdoors, exposed to sub

zero temperatures and wet conditions. The Army later admitted

it had not followed its own rules on protecting soldiers in the cold. And

when's cases not one-off. Between 2010 and 2015, more 400 arms

services personnel were discharged because of this injury. When did

things are getting really bad? The first day we got out there, day one

was probably the best day out of all of them. It was just know and there

was ice forming. Then came days of rain and driving winds. Crucially,

Army regulations that state soldiers must be issued with the right

clothing but the conditions, were ignored. Everyone's kit was wringing

wet, people were saying, my feet are in a bad way, my hands are in a bad

way. They were getting fobbed off. I took of my gloves and my skin

started to come off. My hands were grey and models. I spoke to the

Sergeant in charge and his reaction was, stop being a girl. Go away, we

are not interested. He stuck it out until the end of the exercise, but

then needed emergency treatment. I was rushed to the Institute of Naval

medicine where I saw Doctor Oakley and he said there and then, this is

not right, you doubt that we have a non-freezing cold injury, he

diagnosed me there and then. This professor is an expert on the nerve

damage that can be caused by cold. It was commonly seen in soldiers in

the First World War and also in the Falklands. Frostbite is well-known,

non-freezing cold injuries are not really understood but it is a much

bigger problem. You get chronic pain that pain cannot be treated. At his

laboratory, they are trying to learn more about diagnosing and treating

it. It is a condition that you can get better from but by the same

token, it is also a condition that can stay with you for the rest of

your life and it depends on the severity of the injury. Lawyer Ahmed

Al-Nahhas has acted for Wayne and those suffering from other injuries.

There have been hundreds of cases and that tells me that something is

not being addressed here. Why is it that lessons are not being learned?

If you're going out in dangerous conditions, have the right kit and

make sure that your men are wearing the right kit. Absolutely. There is

detailed guidance that the Ministry of Defence has developed with some

specialist medical experts in this field. The problem is, no one is

reading it. I think that the Ministry of Defence has a blind spot

to which these regulations and it can result in some very devastating

serious injuries. Since 2010, the MoD has paid out around ?3 million

in compensation to service people with non-freezing cold injuries. In

a statement, the MoD told us they are the most common injuries seen on

land operations and exercises and can affect even the most resilient.

Commanders are reminded that soldiers should be issued with kit

for the task and that increased awareness meant cases are now

properly managed. When's injuries meant he was ultimately discharge

from the Army on medical grounds and the Ministry of Defence said of his

claim for negligence without admitting liability. Because I am

medically discharged, I can never go back and they do miss it. I really

do miss it. Of course we wish him all the best. It does seem bizarre.

There was an issue in World War I and it is still a problem today.

Emilia, you were saying that your cousin had the same condition. Not

in the forces, with their grills. He got terrible trench foot, we were in

water, day and night and it was really awful what happened. Your

feet become really painful. I remember seeing it. He is OK now.

Over the holidays, without giving any spoilers away, some nasty

surprises in East Enders and in Sherlock... Tonight, conclude of the

2-parter of Silent Witness, going to be more surprises? Last night ended

on the team finding a van abandoned in the woods. And a van full of

flies and... The episode focused on two Syrian teenagers, one living

illegally in London under the radar, vulnerable to exploitation and the

other who was trying to journey from a refugee camp in northern France to

the safety of England and tonight you find out what happens or has

happened. Let's have a look at the standout moment from last night were

you both needed help unlocking a mobile phone. The human body is a

capacitor. Yes and your point is? The finger needs an electric pulse,

to fool the centre. -- sensor. Finger, thumb. Here goes. Bingo!

There is that word again! Well spotted! In all seriousness, because

of what we filmed earlier, it does feeling very dark and it is very

depressing. You fainted! There is no wonder that you did feel the need to

go out afterwards, it must feel so intense when you are filming. I

guess so. I play the character of Clarissa and there is humour there.

Much needed as well. Don't you think that is what life is like in

whatever job you do? People do these difficult and darker jobs and you

have to have a sense of humour, appropriately, hopefully, but that

is what keeps you going. It just reflects real life to have a little

bit of humour and to show that, whether it is off screen but also on

screen, you do need to have those moments. Clarissa, she joined in

2013 but she is a bit like M in Bond! I would like that role, if

anyone is watching! We don't know much about, even though she is ever

present, so have you had the discussion, I wore -- are we going

to know more about Clarissa the series? It has taken five years, I

have been wondering what is her story and I think we do learn a lot

more. It wouldn't be right for the 20 series to really not know very

much about this character who, we all know who she is, but what is her

story? We do, we get to meet someone, we get to meet her husband,

actually. Husband! Listen to the audience! Hole-macro! Oh! You are

definitely sticking around for awhile? I can say that. That is the

joy of the latest series, what can we promise? There have been

surprises in other shows. When you have such a remarkable anniversary,

anything happen. The last episode of this series had me doing things

which I have never done, acting wise and Nicky has never done as a

character. It is stunning. It is stunning, visually. Is it right that

you have a fly wrangler? For last nights episode. There was a buzz. It

was overwhelming. We went and looked for the buzz and there were

bucketloads of flies. Then they just cram them all into the back of the

van and called action. It was horrible! I got a face full of

flies. It was worth it, because of the story. I presume they just

released them? There were extra flies. Lives, we know that you are

real role model for any -- many viewers and Steve Brown has been

looking at how far we have come in representing disability on screen

over the years. The London Paralympics in 2012 was a

watershed moment for me, it brought disability rights into the front

rooms of people and give us the opportunity to view disability and

people with a disability in a whole new light. Though you can go back to

1946 to see a disabled actor on-screen who received the ultimate

accolade. And it was 40 years later before it happened again, with deaf

actress, Marley Maitland. Has been any real standout moments,

times three have said, this is a moment where disability on TV is

changing, when you had Raymond Burr on Arab side. He was the first

disabled hero and provided a wonderful opportunity for people,

but he did not provide an opportunity for a disabled actor. --

Ironside. That trend has continued. Think Daniel Day Lewis and Eddie

Redmayne amongst others. Recent productions have seen a change.

Peter Ding pledge is perhaps the most beloved character in Game Of

Thrones. How would you like to die? In my own bed. At the age of 80. A

belly full of wine. You have a character in Rating Bad. He has

cerebral palsy. Are you seriously kicking me out of my own house? We

are seeing things like don't take my baby, dramas that not only address

disabled issues, but what are our lives actually like. Would be

wonderful to see a lot more disabled actors, playing disabled characters,

doing things that are not related to disability. East Enders doing well

with a character who is getting storylines that are not simply about

her being disabled. Star of new tricks has cerebral palsy. She has

been acting for five years. It's my unique selling point. It's

hard to be an October arrest any way. A 24-year-old girl with red

hair and glasses, I wouldn't have got half as far. I see it as my USP.

I like that. At the same time, I would like to be in an equal casting

playing field. Does it make you angry when you see able-bodied

people playing a disabled role? It does and it doesn't. We don't have

an equal playing field. I am aware of the need of the commercial

industry. What could you do to change the status quo? I think there

needs to be a shift in producing, writing, casting. I think we need to

not be scared of disability. We need to not be scared of having awkward

conversations. We are doctors, teachers, actors. We do ordinary

jobs. There's plenty of us in the world, don't be scared of us. Use

our talent. Did you have role models when you

were growing up? I really had so few. Or the stories that were out

there in the very few representations, they weren't that

popular. Or that positive. Even to this day, I think, you see somebody

like me on TV and it's usually we want to be shipped to Switzerland.

It's that kind of thing. It's dark. It's that your life must be awful

and terrible. Actually, that's not the case. Our lives are varied and

mixed and good and bad like everybody's lives. That's what we

try and show in Silent Witness. She's just there. It's nothing to do

with it. She's doing her job But it doesn't ignore it. You can't ignore

it. You can't use a wheelchair and be disabled and have it not be

relevant. You need it to be relevant but not focussing on it too much.

Awe gree with Storm on where the change is going to come from. That's

it. There are disabled actors out there. Producers need to take risks,

casting people and cast us in things. You know, what the key to

doing it and getting it right, just do. It don't be frayed. Put us in --

don't be afraid. Put us in there. Otherwise we have to do our own

work. I'm working for Assisted Suicide the musical. Can you get

tickets online! Wow, that worked. But that's what we do too to make

sure we're out there and getting the jobs and work. Now we need producers

and companies to take that risk. Well, very shortly Mike will be

here. He will. Before that, Yorkshire is famous for many things.

Cricket, the Bronte sisters, the world's first football club. Pudsey

Bear, the chocolate orange, Yorkshire puddings and they're so

modest with it. Now according to Mike, they there are whales! For the

last five years, the One Show has been attempting to film the minke

whale. Despite being elusive, they're most frequently seen off the

coast of Scotland. Following up on a tip-off, I'm off to another part of

the coast where they've been spotted recently. During late summer and

Autumn, herring come to this Yorkshire coastline to spawn. This

intense concentration of fish is proving irresistible to all sorts of

wildlife coming to feed on them. That includes minke whales.

Ironically, this part of Yorkshire played a big part in the British

whaling industry. Wit by has a long Whitby has a long and bloody history

with the whale. Over 55 boats sailed from here responsible for the

harvesting of over 2,500 whales and these huge jaw bones are testable to

the town's whaling past. After a succession of unsuccessful trips by

the early 19th century whaling had stopped. However nowadays local

fishermen have found a far better way making a living from whales,

like Sean, who takes people out to whale spot when he's not fishing. On

a day like today, this is knot a bad office you've got here. -- not a bad

office you've got here in the North Sea. What are our chances, if you

were a betting man? It is a lot of luck. It is a needle in a hay stack.

It's not a big sea compared with some, but we're a tiny needle

hunting around. We should have a good chance as Robin runs the Sea

Watch Foundation has increasingly recorded increasing numbers off the

North Yorkshire coast. Don't take offence, but I wouldn't associate

the North Sea off Yorkshire with whales. Most people don't. It is a

well kept secret, despite the best efforts of everybody round here to

let people know. Why is it so good? For generations herring have moved

down from Scotland originally, down into the English coast. The whales

are coming here with them. How is the whale population doing,

particularly minke? We estimate something between 8,000 and 12,000

in the North Sea all together. As we continue to head out, the

anticipation of seeing one of these magnificent animals increases. After

an hour of searching, Tom Marshal, our spotter from the Yorkshire

Wildlife Trust, sees something. It was 12 o'clock. It could come up

some the sun. Could come up in this darker area. Looks for that large,

slate grey back. There it is! There it is! ! About 30 metres away. Minke

whale. Just saw a huge tore alfin. There it is. Lovely. Big, long back.

Well spotted Tom. As it is quite far away, we only manage to get the

briefest of shots. Just anyone's guess where it will pop up next.

It's just seeing that big hooked fin and that huge back as it surfaces

before it disappears under the water. We've definitely got more

than a glimpse. It felt to me like the whale was moving very quickly.

It was really coming with purpose. It was moving at speed that onement

sometimes we see them moving laysily. It was either chasing feed

or it's on its way somewhere. And the next few minutes will tell.

Unfortunately, it never re-appeared. As the weather took a turn for the

worse, we had to head back to shore. Robin has frequently been out on the

water with Whitby whale watching this year and has seen them a lot

closer. There he is again. Who would have thought less than 200 years

after the whaling industry died out in Yorkshire, a new business would

have sprung up centring once more around the whales themselves, that

of going out on a boat, but this time watching the whales peacefully

in their natural habitat. I'm a big fan of Whitby. Our first magic Mike

moment of the year. Which is also a film and very different to that.

Many more of those to come Mr Baker. There it is. Happy new year. Now

2016 a good year in terms of unusual spottings. I'm hoping 2017 will be

even better. But 2016 was exceptional. I have an exclusive. I

can't give too much away. A few weeks ago we filmed this astonishing

bird, red footed booby. Normally found in grand Caiman in the

Caribbean, turned up in Sussex. Heaven only knows why.

Unfortunately, it was taken to the RSPCA and just before Christmas

flown back and we have the story coming up in a couple of weeks.

Lovely. Then another first for Britain, an Olive Ridley turtle.

This is a she turtle, found on Anglesey, the Menai straits, by a

chap walking his dog in November. It was hype thermic, dehydrated. It was

very poorly. Fortunately it was stranded next to Anglesey sea zoo.

The team are looking after her wonderfully. It might go back to

Gabon in west Africa. More One Show wildlife moments. The Robin. This

was spotted in a nursery school in Cornwall and rapidly moving on to a

Chinese water deer, this was photographed on a Christmas walk on

Yaxley. That's the female. The males have the tusks. Thank you, Mike.

More magic moments. There it is! New years is traditionally to a time to

ask whether you're spending or saving your money. Our friend Martin

Lewis has made his fortune from making people to make better

financial decisions. We sent him back to his own uni to pass on some

of his wisdom to the new intake. My name is Martin Lewis. My job - to

try and help millions of people be savier with their money. Pay two

quid get a year's two for one movies. For some people it's more.

If I had to give you my aim in a nutshell, it would be cutting your

bills and fighting financial injustice. So, how did I get this

role? Well I made it up. And today, I'm going to share some of my life

lessons with high flyers of the future at my old university, the

London school eeconomics. I think I was always destined to come here. My

uncle Tony had been here and spoke highly about it. He was the person I

used to play maths games with as a kid. I think by numbers. Coming here

was sort of, it fit. It wasn't just about having fun. It was here I

discovered I had an inbuilt responsibility chip. So I ran for

the position of General Secretary, Akin to president of the students

union. My friend Justin helped run my thankfully successful election

campaign. Did you think I'd win? Honestly... I wasn't entirely

confident. What surprised me on the day of the vote was the number of

people that you'd made connections with and how they came out and voted

for you. I'd come to London, big, bright eyes. This place is 60%

overseas students from all over the world. Ways fasz Nated with that.

While -- I was fascinated with that. My time in charge of the union

taught me that adversarial party politics wasn't for me. My first job

was in financial PR in the City. It didn't give me the buzz I wanted. So

I spent my nights doing stand-up at clubbeds like these. My -- clubs

like these. My act may have been a bit silly at times. A major life

lesson for me was if you're not happy with your work, don't be

afraid to change. So at 25, I quit. I went to Cardiff University to

study broadcast journalism. After a few years I found a job that played

to my strengths on a TV channel talking about money matters. A used

a dab of comedy to get the message across. The main stay was hard core.

It was here I honed my money-saving methodology. Companies spend

billions on advertising, marketing and teaching staff to sell.

Consumers don't get training. I wanted to change that. In 2003, I

took my passion to the web with a site aimed to provide answers where

they hadn't existed before. Money saving expert.com was born and

campaigning has been a big part of it.

# Fight the power# Is this a day to celebrate for the

consumer It is a day to cheer and whoop and jump up and down for joy.

I have spent a lot of time outside the courts. Bank charges was the

first one. PPI was the next. It was about showing people how to get

their rights. Some this afternoon is showing people how to do it. The

site has been mind blowingly successful. I sold it in 2012. But

I'm there as executive chairman day to day, guaranteeing it still puts

consumers first. Today I'm back at the LSE to share what I've learned

with the talent there. What is needed to be successful? Four

things. Number one, talent. Number two, hard work. Number three, focus,

zone, the narrower the field and the better you are at it, the more your

chance. Number four, luck. Some of you will do all of that and you will

fail. Others will do all of that and you will succeed. The only

difference is one of luck. I was swamped with questions from curious

students. Did you have a save the world mentality or making money

mentality when you started? I've never had a making money mentality

and I still don't. I get to choose where I get out of bed in the

morning. Next time I see something where there's a problem that

nobody's dealing with, like money and mental health, I go, right, I'm

going to fix that. That is a joy. That's happiness. If you have the

money, remember, you're the fortunate one. Give back. I give it

back because it made me. And I owe it.

APPLAUSE There you are. If you want more

Martin his Moneyy Show is back on ITV next week. You only have to wait

until 9pm for Silent Witness here on BBC One tonight. A big thank you to

Liz and Emilia. We're back tomorrow with Jack Whitehall, the shires and

our guide to 2017. See you then. Goodbye.
