:00:17. > :00:24.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with the smashing Matt Baker.
:00:25. > :00:36.I wonder what the theme of the show it.
:00:37. > :00:38.Well, a film she wrote and starred in, smashed...
:00:39. > :00:41.Movie box office records and became the most successful rom-com
:00:42. > :00:45.It was "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and this is the moment
:00:46. > :00:47.when her husband to be, took her breath away.
:00:48. > :01:16.Hi. Hi. Did you want to see some brochures? Please welcome Nia
:01:17. > :01:20.Vardalos. Have you seen the plates? It was good fun. It relieves any
:01:21. > :01:25.hostility or tension in your body. Smash a plate. We have to talk of
:01:26. > :01:30.smashing, we have to talk about the clip. How many times did you have to
:01:31. > :01:39.do that? Was there a crash mat under? Yes, my mum had just come to
:01:40. > :01:45.the set that night and she didn't know they had put a mattress behind
:01:46. > :01:48.me. She was like, she was going to get hurt.
:01:49. > :01:51.Well tonight, as we have the star of a big Greek wedding,
:01:52. > :01:53.we want to find the biggest wedding picture we can,
:01:54. > :01:56.and by that we mean, the most amount of guests
:01:57. > :02:03.Importantly, let us know - roughly - how many guests are in the picture
:02:04. > :02:06.to save us counting each one, and send them via the usual methods
:02:07. > :02:17.And we'll talk about Nia's eagerly awaited sequel,
:02:18. > :02:23.'My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2' later in the show.
:02:24. > :02:25.Now, Nia's character Toula has a father, Gus,
:02:26. > :02:27.who is adamant that every word we use today hails
:02:28. > :02:39.Take the word "medeoron", meaning phenomenon in the sky.
:02:40. > :02:46.Highland skies earlier this week. for a "meteoron" that lit up
:02:47. > :02:58.The peace and quiet of the Highlands was shattered by a series of loud
:02:59. > :03:03.sonic booms and bright lights. This event was caught on car cameras and
:03:04. > :03:15.CCTV. It left motorists struggling to make sense of it. To find out
:03:16. > :03:22.what went on, I have come to Mills observatory in Dundee. What happened
:03:23. > :03:25.the other night? We had a big meteor comes from space, travelling at
:03:26. > :03:32.thousands of miles an hour. You saw it and then it exploded about 20
:03:33. > :03:37.mile up. Are they trackable. If two people observed it at a distance
:03:38. > :03:41.they could do sums and pin point to a certain degree. But it is
:03:42. > :03:47.difficult. How likely it is that it will be found? It is very difficult.
:03:48. > :03:54.It might be found or not. It depends, it could have come down in
:03:55. > :03:59.the sea. I don't know. Meteorites are difficult to track down, but I'm
:04:00. > :04:04.told a local man knowles where to find -- knows where to find them.
:04:05. > :04:13.Rob makes it living from searching out meet teorites and selling them.
:04:14. > :04:18.How do you track one down? Once I see reports on the news and a big
:04:19. > :04:23.fireball, I will make a decision, will I go or will I wait until a
:04:24. > :04:27.member of the public finds something. Sometimes I will offer a
:04:28. > :04:31.reward and get people out looking for me. I ups this one has --
:04:32. > :04:38.understand this has an international flavour. Yes that is a piece of a
:04:39. > :04:44.Russian meteorite that fell and shattered window and people were
:04:45. > :04:55.injured. How much are meteorites worth. A pristine one could be $150
:04:56. > :05:00.a gram. I sell to the researchers and the public. They all want a
:05:01. > :05:08.piece of space. For this piece, how much is that worth? If somebody
:05:09. > :05:17.offered me $30,000, ?20,000. For the right person. Have you managed to
:05:18. > :05:21.earn a living from this? Yes. As for the latest meteorite, Rob is biding
:05:22. > :05:27.his time until he has more information. So I can see him in
:05:28. > :05:37.action, he has agreed to take me to one search location. What do we need
:05:38. > :05:44.1234? We have metal detector and a meteor cane. That look like an old
:05:45. > :05:51.golf club. It is. The meteorite will stick to it. This lodge got hit in
:05:52. > :05:56.1917. A meteorite came through roof. So it is a good starting point.
:05:57. > :06:02.They're falling all the time and it is a question of finding them. Just
:06:03. > :06:15.there. Oh, yeah. I can feel the pull. It is a power cable. I think
:06:16. > :06:21.we had better leave that alone. How long do we have do this? The day is
:06:22. > :06:28.young. We have only started. We have a surprise. When we spoke to you,
:06:29. > :06:34.you said your head would explode if you could touch a meteorite. I would
:06:35. > :06:44.be very excited. You can't unscrew this. It is krypton iet. This is
:06:45. > :06:50.from mars and it is over a billion years old. Like some Hollywood
:06:51. > :06:58.actresses! The thing is experts know it is from Mars, you can see the
:06:59. > :07:01.glass crystals there. The gas ma makes up the crystals is the same
:07:02. > :07:06.one that comes from the Viking mission on Mars. This is is
:07:07. > :07:17.incredible. You can't take that home. We will see. That is
:07:18. > :07:23.incredible. I'm fascinated by that. Was there damage when there was the
:07:24. > :07:30.meetior shower. Not that we know of. He just scoops up rocks and charges
:07:31. > :07:39.$30,000. It is worth it. Can I just hold it for the rest of the show?
:07:40. > :07:46.Yes. My Big Fat Greek Wedding was a meteoric success. The long awaited
:07:47. > :07:53.sequel is in cinemas from 25th March. For those who haven't seen
:07:54. > :07:57.the first one. Your character Toula, 30, still living at home with her
:07:58. > :08:04.Greek family. Her father, Gus, wanted her to find a Greek husband
:08:05. > :08:08.to have children. She meets the man of her dreams and after a clash of
:08:09. > :08:14.culture, they have their My Big Fat Greek Wedding. This time around,
:08:15. > :08:21.where do we find the characters? I decided to write from the point of
:08:22. > :08:26.view of ten years later. So ten years from the time you see them
:08:27. > :08:31.with their six-year-old daughter and then their daughter is in t same
:08:32. > :08:35.position, she wants to form her own identity and get away from the
:08:36. > :08:40.family and she is a teenager and I'm struggling with not wanting to be my
:08:41. > :08:50.dad and not wanting to let her go. So let's have a look at the very
:08:51. > :09:00.large Greek family. If she goes to north western. She will stay in
:09:01. > :09:21.Chicago. Let's go over. No did you invite the family. I told my ma.
:09:22. > :09:27.APPLAUSE. So this, the fist film broke box office records with the
:09:28. > :09:33.highest grossing rom-com. Isn't it strange, I wrote the movie in an
:09:34. > :09:41.attempt to get a job. I worked well. All the producers would be knocking
:09:42. > :09:47.your door down saying write another one and here we are 14 years later.
:09:48. > :09:51.The wait is my fault. I said no, because I had written that Toula was
:09:52. > :09:55.a mom at if end of the movie and I think it was wishful thinking,
:09:56. > :10:00.because I was in a very private struggle to become a mother. I said
:10:01. > :10:09.no, I can't do it. And then happy ending, guess what, I became a mom!
:10:10. > :10:17.And on my daughter's first day of kindergarten, I was crying so loud,
:10:18. > :10:21.it was ethnic sobs and people were like, don't look at that. And
:10:22. > :10:26.another woman in an ef to tort calm me down, said, come on, in 13 years
:10:27. > :10:34.they will go off to college and leave us. My throat closed and I
:10:35. > :10:38.realised in that moment I had Morphed into my own suffocating
:10:39. > :10:43.Greek parents. That is the moment I decided that what is the sequel is
:10:44. > :10:48.about and I started writing. Tom Hanks has a connection with this
:10:49. > :10:58.film. Explain the relationship and how that came about. When I was
:10:59. > :11:05.first in Hollywood, I'm from Canada and moved to loss Ang lease and I
:11:06. > :11:10.was told I was not attractive enough to be a leading lady. I said, you
:11:11. > :11:15.know, I'm going to write my own movie and perhaps play a bridesmaid.
:11:16. > :11:19.I didn't have an agent, so couldn't get the screen play read by a
:11:20. > :11:25.studio. So I jumped up on stain and started -- stage and started doing
:11:26. > :11:31.it as a one person show and thinking the agents will come. But the agents
:11:32. > :11:39.never came. But Rita Wilson came. She is of Greek descent and sent her
:11:40. > :11:49.husband, Tom Hanks, to the show. All I saw at that show, was I was like,
:11:50. > :11:54.oh my god, Tom Hanks. All I saw was ears. Everyone was looking at him.
:11:55. > :12:00.They said, you had better get married and Tom Hanks laughed and I
:12:01. > :12:05.saw the rest of the audience say, let's watch the girl. The ears
:12:06. > :12:09.turned into faces and then Tom Hanks called and said, we read your screen
:12:10. > :12:14.play and we are going to makure movie and I meant to say, I would
:12:15. > :12:19.like to play a bridesmaid and I don't know what it was in me that
:12:20. > :12:23.said it. But I said, I would like to play the bride. He said, yes, we
:12:24. > :12:28.have talk about it you're going to play the bride. My husband was like,
:12:29. > :12:34.he said, you should have asked for a pony too! I love it. I love your
:12:35. > :12:39.husband. A huge success and fingers crossed the next one will be as big
:12:40. > :12:43.and you can see My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 from March 25th.
:12:44. > :12:46.If you saw yesterday's show you'll know Alex and her shipmates
:12:47. > :12:49.are about to navigate their way around Britain's coastline on a 65
:12:50. > :12:52.foot racing yacht, all for Sport Relief.
:12:53. > :12:58.Weather permitting, we may travel past Dover.
:12:59. > :13:00.Here's Joe Crowley with one historic site, we're hoping,
:13:01. > :13:16.When you look at this building, it is easy to see why we would want to
:13:17. > :13:22.preserve it. But what if a piece of history was out there under water?
:13:23. > :13:30.There are 37 and a half thousand wrecks in English waters from Roman
:13:31. > :13:36.remain 20s warships. Only 49 are protected. There is a wreck of a
:13:37. > :13:40.German U-boat, believed to be the first sunk in British waters and a
:13:41. > :13:48.hundred years later it is to be surveyed to see if it merits protect
:13:49. > :13:56.status. Research has revealed how significant U8 was. In 1915, Germany
:13:57. > :14:05.was sending submarines to wards the Kent coast. U8 was about to show how
:14:06. > :14:11.deadly they could be. In one case she is said to have attacked but not
:14:12. > :14:16.sunk a hospital ship. Everything was fair game? More or less. That was
:14:17. > :14:21.seen as a shocking thing from the British perspective. A hundred years
:14:22. > :14:37.ago submarine defences were primitive. Adapted fishing nets were
:14:38. > :14:43.used and ships patrolled looking for periscopes and U8 was trapped. It
:14:44. > :14:50.was a huge propaganda coup for the British. The work has established
:14:51. > :14:55.U8's importance, but they need evidence of submarine's condition.
:14:56. > :15:00.Any decay threatens its chances of protected status. Today the wreck
:15:01. > :15:07.will be surveyed for the first time. In charge are Wessex archaeology
:15:08. > :15:16.with a hi-tech piece of kit. We have a torpedo to find a sub. This is an
:15:17. > :15:22.underwater vehicle. It has a an array of sensors and we hope to get
:15:23. > :15:25.clear images. Is this cutting edge? We think it is one of the first
:15:26. > :15:29.times it has been used for archaeology in the UK. So we are
:15:30. > :15:35.combieted to see what what -- excited to see what the results will
:15:36. > :15:36.be. The skipper is one of the view who has dived submarine wreck and
:15:37. > :15:48.was the first to discover U8. It's a wonderful feeling when you
:15:49. > :15:52.see it laid out in its glory, you could be the first person seeing at
:15:53. > :15:59.400 years. It is all intact, like the day it went down. But wrecks are
:16:00. > :16:04.vulnerable to looting and U8 has ordered being looted. When we dived
:16:05. > :16:09.at a couple of ears ago, the propellers were missing. Dave's
:16:10. > :16:15.knowledge helps prove a case for protection, but diving is perilous
:16:16. > :16:21.and visibility Limited. It is hoped sonar will show the whole vessel for
:16:22. > :16:27.the first time allowing the whole vessel to be mapped. The team ended
:16:28. > :16:30.up with so much data it has taken a while to analyse but historic
:16:31. > :16:36.England now have the results. I am meeting with the Project manager to
:16:37. > :16:43.see if U8's place in history is finally secure. This is our first
:16:44. > :16:47.look at the 3-D scans we collected several weeks ago. We can see the
:16:48. > :16:51.whole thing in it since I wrote it. As if the sea water has been taken
:16:52. > :16:57.away. This is a single beam image, in the middle, the tower. It has
:16:58. > :17:01.three periscopes, showing us this submarine is in incredibly unique
:17:02. > :17:06.condition having been on the sea bed for 100 years. The final decision to
:17:07. > :17:10.protect U8 will be made by the government, but this evidence means
:17:11. > :17:16.there is a very strong case. If it is protected in the future, what
:17:17. > :17:20.will it mean for U8? It means it becomes a criminal offence to
:17:21. > :17:26.deliberately damage it. Would there ever be a scenario where you would
:17:27. > :17:30.have to raise it from the sea bed? I don't think that is wholly
:17:31. > :17:37.practical. The best thing is to manage it in situ. Alex is about to
:17:38. > :17:42.take on a wet, windy and wild challenge which will take a lot of
:17:43. > :17:46.skill, a lot of determination and a whole lot of teamwork. All to raise
:17:47. > :17:53.money for Sport Relief. Tell us the plan. The plan is we are leaving
:17:54. > :17:58.from Belfast on Monday morning and either going this way, have a look,
:17:59. > :18:02.up the top and around Scotland and down the east coast, before coming
:18:03. > :18:08.back into London. All the other way, landing something near Newcastle. It
:18:09. > :18:13.is weather dependent and we will be back on the 11th of March. Tonight
:18:14. > :18:18.we thought we would offer you a bit of extra for on the seasickness
:18:19. > :18:22.front in the form of Doctor Spike Briggs. He is a doctor and a marine
:18:23. > :18:27.medicine expert and a seasoned sailor. And also my new best friend.
:18:28. > :18:33.You will be part of the medical team. Yes. Let's talk a bit about
:18:34. > :18:38.seasickness because even some of the most famous sailors have suffered
:18:39. > :18:42.badly? They have. Ever since humans have been going to see they have
:18:43. > :18:49.been sick. Ancient Greek times, people like Hippocrates and Cicero.
:18:50. > :18:58.Go on! Actually nausea comes from the Greek word Naus, for ocean. They
:18:59. > :19:04.told me! LAUGHTER Great researchers working on the
:19:05. > :19:08.show. Also people like Columbus and his crew had problems with
:19:09. > :19:14.seasickness. Lord Nelson was famously seasick a lot of the time
:19:15. > :19:17.and Charles Stalin. But it is very debilitating. That is what they have
:19:18. > :19:23.been telling us on the training courses. But it is caused by an
:19:24. > :19:30.imbalance in the inner ear? Yes, you have conflicted information coming
:19:31. > :19:36.to your brain. Your motion sensors, your eyes and all the nerves in your
:19:37. > :19:41.joints and around your body. You have this conflict, basically these
:19:42. > :19:46.signals go to an area of your brain called the vomiting centre, quite
:19:47. > :19:50.nicely! Very aptly named. When the signals get to great they send a
:19:51. > :19:57.signal to your stomach to empty itself. Right. Perfect. That is when
:19:58. > :20:02.you have the feeling of nausea and are Bencic. Is there anything you
:20:03. > :20:08.can do to be at one with the rhythm of the sea? A good point. Some
:20:09. > :20:14.people are good at certain types of motion but not others. A lot of
:20:15. > :20:16.people are sick on cross-channel ferries, that gentle rolling thing
:20:17. > :20:22.sometimes makes people very sick. Other people are sick on normal
:20:23. > :20:28.yachts. People in life rafts and rowing boats, that can make them...
:20:29. > :20:32.Because of the randomness of the motion. What can we do? We know
:20:33. > :20:37.about keep looking at the horizon if you can, but you have to go below
:20:38. > :20:42.deck at some point. This is true of people going on overnight crossings
:20:43. > :20:45.on ferries. What are the top tips? There are some behavioural things
:20:46. > :20:53.you can do. Staying on deck and giving people to do something. So
:20:54. > :21:01.helming, looking at the horizon, resolve that conflict in your brain.
:21:02. > :21:05.Stay on the deck and take up knitting! That's it, you will be
:21:06. > :21:07.fine. Thank you so much, thank you very much.
:21:08. > :21:10.The reason I am doing all of this to raise money for Sport Relief.
:21:11. > :21:13.Recently I visited Bangladesh for a series of films we'll be
:21:14. > :21:16.Here's when I met two boys called Sho-hag and Belal,
:21:17. > :21:36.It is that salute you shocking, it is like the dirtiest place in the
:21:37. > :21:40.world. All these flies, and these poor children are having to make a
:21:41. > :21:46.living by climbing on top of all this. -- absolutely shocking. It is
:21:47. > :21:51.terrible. You can see the rest of that next
:21:52. > :21:52.week. So you can see how important
:21:53. > :21:54.your donations are. If you would like to support Alex
:21:55. > :21:57.and her shipmates on the Hell on High Seas challenge
:21:58. > :22:04.and donate to Sport Relief - To donate ?5, text

:22:33. > :22:39.messages here! Or to donate ?10, text the word
:22:40. > :22:43.HELP to 70010. Text messages will cost your
:22:44. > :22:46.donation plus your standard network message charge and all your donation
:22:47. > :22:48.will go to Sport Relief. You must be 16 or over and please
:22:49. > :22:51.ask the bill payer's permission. For full terms and conditions,
:22:52. > :22:59.or to donate any amount you want, You will know that number by the
:23:00. > :23:07.time you have sailed around! Another big theme in Nia's new movie is
:23:08. > :23:14.going to university. As Lucy knows, if you have dreams of a top-class
:23:15. > :23:18.education, never say never. In Cambridge students make up a
:23:19. > :23:22.fifth of the population, the city is dominated by the University and its
:23:23. > :23:28.31 colleges, seen by many as a Bastian of tradition and privilege.
:23:29. > :23:33.Obviously not all students here are posh public school blokes, but the
:23:34. > :23:37.facts are clear, applicants from fee-paying schools are five times
:23:38. > :23:42.more likely to get a place here or at Oxford than applicants from a
:23:43. > :23:46.state school. While nearly half of Cambridge
:23:47. > :23:50.students are women, almost five out of six professors here are men.
:23:51. > :23:56.Something Ph.D. Student and former equality and diversity Officer here
:23:57. > :23:59.would like to see change. I have conversation with friends where they
:24:00. > :24:05.say, it looks like a really nice place to go and visit but I would
:24:06. > :24:10.never go to study there. Is patriarchal, the great-grandfather
:24:11. > :24:16.figures of learning and excellence. Yes, a white old man with a big
:24:17. > :24:20.beard, pontificating, sitting on his armchair, probably drinking sherry.
:24:21. > :24:23.It still has those people, which is not necessarily bad in itself but I
:24:24. > :24:26.think they are missing out on getting people from diverse
:24:27. > :24:31.backgrounds while sending out that imagery of that team upon a person
:24:32. > :24:35.they are looking for. With the university says it is making
:24:36. > :24:39.progress. Just two years ago women were significantly less likely to
:24:40. > :24:43.get a first than men but figures now show they are getting more first Raw
:24:44. > :24:52.than men. One of the less known Cambridge
:24:53. > :24:57.colleges want to change that. This is an all-female college and only
:24:58. > :25:05.accepts students 21 or over, not the typical Cambridge stereotype.
:25:06. > :25:09.This 53 you old political and social science student is in her first
:25:10. > :25:15.year. Hello. Come in, come into my home. I have a library. This is my
:25:16. > :25:23.luxury bathroom with Dulux facilities. People would say they
:25:24. > :25:26.get to an age in life when they didn't expect to be sleeping in a
:25:27. > :25:33.single bed against a spare wall. Yes!
:25:34. > :25:36.I'm from a working class family, I knew no one who had gone to
:25:37. > :25:41.university when I was at school. I went to work at 17. It never
:25:42. > :25:46.featured in my mind as something that was for people like me. How did
:25:47. > :25:50.this happen? I was made redundant from my last
:25:51. > :25:55.job as a teaching assistant, as the same time my youngest child were
:25:56. > :25:59.going to university. My kids looked at this empty house behind the NZ,
:26:00. > :26:03.what are you going to do? You have no one to look after and no job to
:26:04. > :26:10.do. What you should do is go off to university.
:26:11. > :26:14.The college still harks to some traditions, like the weekly formal
:26:15. > :26:18.dinner, where students, former students and their teachers eat
:26:19. > :26:23.together. Back tonight is recent graduate and mum of four Nicky.
:26:24. > :26:28.This time seven years ago I had no real career prospects at all. I was
:26:29. > :26:33.a single mother to four children and now I am a doctor and an officer in
:26:34. > :26:37.the RAF. I do owe that to the college, I think. They just gave me
:26:38. > :26:41.a chance and that not only changed my life, but the lives of my
:26:42. > :26:48.children as well. Also at the dinner is Marcia, a
:26:49. > :26:53.former keyboard player in the band the Fall. She graduated 19 years ago
:26:54. > :26:58.with a degree in medicine. You have to have some real safe belief or be
:26:59. > :27:01.facing life as a petrol station attendant to motivate you to get you
:27:02. > :27:05.through that process. There has to be some fire in you, particularly if
:27:06. > :27:12.you're not from that background. Marcia is now a senior lecturer.
:27:13. > :27:17.Giving women from across society educational opportunity at the right
:27:18. > :27:20.time for them is what Lucy Cavendish is all about, according to its
:27:21. > :27:25.president. Can you really change anything from
:27:26. > :27:30.a woman's college? I think you can. I think it is far too slow, I would
:27:31. > :27:34.like to see more women in top positions in the university. I would
:27:35. > :27:36.like to see more people from underprivileged backgrounds coming
:27:37. > :27:41.to Oxford and Cambridge. I would like to see an end to this idea it
:27:42. > :27:45.is a very elitist place, because actually it isn't. If you have the
:27:46. > :27:51.brains to come and do the work, it is for everybody, there is no social
:27:52. > :27:55.segregation. Don't be fooled by the council and formality of the dinner
:27:56. > :27:59.taking place behind me because the women who study here are from all
:28:00. > :28:03.walks of life. This might not be the richest or the most famous of the
:28:04. > :28:07.Cambridge colleges, but for my money it is the one doing the most to
:28:08. > :28:18.challenge elitism head on. Thank you, Lucy.
:28:19. > :28:22.Earlier on in a hot marched to My Big Fat Greek Wedding we asked you
:28:23. > :28:30.for big wedding group shots. This is one from Antonio. And now this,
:28:31. > :28:44.Laura's big fat Stanstead wedding with 310 guests. But we think the
:28:45. > :28:48.winner is... With 500 guests, Naomi's big fat Cumbrian wedding.
:28:49. > :28:54.Thank you, it has been lovely to have you. Tomorrow Vernon Kay will
:28:55. > :28:59.join me along with Nigel Havers and I will be getting some much-needed
:29:00. > :29:01.tips from sailing legend Sir Ben Ainslie. Good night!
