03/05/2012 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker.

Tonight we celebrate the charming and contradictory world that is

Britain on another damp spring day. In the company of a cat that steals

underwear, people who cannot move around their homes for clutter, and

a singer who has been a one-hit wonder five times over. Not easy to

find a companion who can help us chart a course through all that.

But, cometh the hour, cometh the man. It could only be our Terry.

Welcome to The One Show. Every time I come on this showed, I get the

Floral Dance! Give me a break! will start with something a bit

different. What is going on with the change of image, or should we

say, WagWarn? Welcome to this beautiful island Paradise we called

Jamaica. We have got a caller on the line. WagWarn, Raymond!

Was a tribute to my meagre talents! A whole new career could be opening

up to me. I could make a living in the Caribbean. That is not the only

island-hopping that Terry has been doing. Later on we will be

exploring Ireland and finding out why fishing trips with his dad made

Terry Wogan the man we know today. But first this damaging activities

of the kleptomaniac cat called Dennis! And the story of how he was

busted by the The One Show cameras. It is extraordinary.

This quiet suburb in Luton it is experiencing an unusual crime wave.

One resident is stealing people's things. But it is not any normal

burglar. It is a cat burglar. Dennis is just one year old but he

has been up to no good for almost his entire life.

He has been bringing home unusual items, like at how all, a scandal,

and one of his favourites, some underwear. He brought that home, a

chicken fillet. That is a bit strange. It is unusual. You wonder

what you're going to get today! is high time to reunite these items

with their owners. It sounds like the perfect mystery for asked to

solve. So two weeks ago we week Denis up with this device. It sends

us as signal that can be used to plot his movements on a map. We

also wanted to try to capture footage of him actually getting his

hands on some of the stuff. So we attach this camera to his collar.

This way we will know where he and his getting things, could it be

even from inside people's houses. And finally a camera keeps an eye

on all his comings and goings through the cat-flap. We left

tennis for a week to carry out his the been business. We have now

collected all the results together to see if we can crack where he has

been stealing from, starting with the GPS. We have a clear area of

about half an acre which is his territory. Dennis is an animal that

confuses parade with Tories and going out and catching toys. Cats

often have trouble killing immediately what they catch so by

bringing things back to their homes, they have the upper hand if the

animal escapes. This tells us the possible places that he's more

likely to be going than any other. So weak automatically can say that

these houses are the key suspect area of where he takes things from.

We still need to narrow the search but then we get the crucial

evidence we need whilst the rest of the household is fast asleep,

blissfully unaware of what Dennis is up to. Recapture him brazenly

carrying a sock. This is about 3 o'clock in the morning.

evidence suggests that at least Dennis appears not to have been

breaking and entering. It looks like he has just been taking stuff

from people's back yards. There's a chance that women may be able to

reunite some of these stolen goods with their rightful owners. We will

go knocking on Sam daughters. -- on some doors. At the first few houses

were drawn a blank but then we have some success. This looks familiar.

No luck finding the owner of the white sock. But there are some more

houses still to try. You recognise these? I have been looking for

those. Did you notice that they were missing? Know, they were

outside the back door. At the scene of the crime we see just how far

Denis had to drag home his swag. has to go through at least three

gardens to get to my house. We have banged Dennis the menace to rights.

And returned stolen goods back into their rightful hands. But if you

have any other feline mysteries, do get in touch.

Well we can now go out life by Catt camera to Dennis and his favourite

spot by the radiator. Can you believe it? It is so exciting.

may be too exciting for the viewers. We get right to the heart of it, no

messing about! How have you managed to stay on the air this long?

with content like this! In the last week alone Dennis has brought home

a further 10 items. We have got a giraffes. And a pair of underpants

with cats on them. If you live in the Luton area and you recognise

any of these, of do let us know. And sent us a picture of your cat

and tell us the strangest thing that they have brought home.

Terry Wogan is so pleased he has coming tonight! In Europe new book

you speak about, not your journey, because you hate that word? I do

not hate it, but it is just over used. We will call it at meander

around our land. You made a documentary which went out earlier

this year on the BBC. Here is a clip of you admiring a picturesque

coastal view. This is how the view is so close to look. -- is supposed

to look. But you can hardly see your hand in front of your face.

Come on, nobody comes here for the weather!

That is why people go to Arvind, because of the soft rain and the

fact that it is a help to the complexion. In fairness, the whole

of Britain is looking like that at the minute. As soon as you announce

a hosepipe ban, it is traditional for the heavens to open. Normally

within hours. Going back to the book, this is all the bits that you

could not squeeze into the documentary? It is a finely honed

work of literary art! It is just a description, when you go back to do

a documentary, there are bits of Ireland but I never saw when I was

living there. You go round and use the lovely little places like

Baltimore. You wake up in the morning and there is a little

harbour. Those are things that I did not do when I was living there

but when you're doing a documentary, you do that kind of thing. You have

some superb pictures, breathtaking scenery in the book. But Ireland is

hurting financially, did you get a sense of that we knew were there?

And to recover that in the book. Ireland had 800 years of

deprivation, emigration. And then came the Celtic Tiger. And it all

became a wonderful. People were buying houses, taking out loans and

getting into debt. And then as happened all over Europe, it all

collapsed and the Celtic Tiger went back into its cage and make things

extremely tough for the Irish. Above all the countries that have

been affected by this, I think Ireland will recover because they

are fighting back. It has been through so much in the years, this

is just a small hiccup. He also touch on personal stories and

revealed quite a lot about your father and especially his holiday

attire. He favoured wearing a beret during the holidays. He would not

have dared to wear it in Limerick! He used to take me on the

handlebars, the actual crossbar of his bicycle. He made a little seat

and he is to take me out cycling for miles through Limerick and out

to the river. He would sit there fly-fishing, and he would only

start to fish as the sun was going down. So we did not catch much. It

was instrumental in shaping the because he was tremendously

meticulous. And for that reason I have no capacity to prepare

throughout my life. I make everything up as I go along and it

has been pretty disastrous! Look where I am now! The book is out on

10th May. It is that common character trait that can get out of

hand and but if you have difficulty throwing things away, you have seen

nothing yet. Television presenter Jasmine Harman revealed that she

had grown up as the daughter of a series the compulsive hoarder.

mother, Vasoulla, filled every spare inch of the family home with

clutter, leaving scarcely any room to move. Space was so limited that

her young brother was forced to move out. In a new documentary on

BBC One, Jasmine visits some other orders while she tries to help her

mother with her behaviour. Absolutely Fabulous. I do not want

to remove too many because of this slides the whole lot will go down.

At the moment we cannot use any single room properly. The

possessions completely filled the dining room. I have not been in the

living room for perhaps two years since he blocked up the doorway.

lived with it for a long time with my mother but I have never been to

another house where someone is hoarding so I do not know what to

Hello Jasmine. Really nice to meet you. Through for having me round.

It's not easy to get in. Don't worry. Whose are all these old

VHSs? They are Alans. Did you watch them? The trouble is we can't get

into the room where the video might be. Where does he get stuff from?

Walking around, skips are good. Charity shops. Anything anybody's

thrown out would come back here. Has he been like this ever since

you've known him? It wasn't really showing itself until he got two

redundancies, one following another. I think that's a trigger. It's like

his possession took the place of his family and friends. And it

makes you anxious. Which part of it? The embarrassment of it I spoes.

Do you understand? I know you do. I knew that you would. That's amazing,

because for years you think you're the only one that it's happening to.

You think nobody else livers like this. Would be amazed how many

people do. That was very emotional clearly for you and Marion. We'll

talk about Marion and Alan in a second. What was it like for you

Jasmine growing up? It was messy. When I was a kid or a teenager we

thought the problem was just mess. We didn't realise it was hoarding.

It was embarrassing, hugely shameful. Could never bring friends

back. Did your mum's habits pass on to you as you've grown up? When you

are a teenager ush write rebellious, so I was the opposite. I've become

minimalist. What about Marion and Alan. The problem with him is he

doesn't really recognise that it is a hoarding problem. He thinks he's

just disorganised doesn't he? think it is common for hoarders to

say, I have not got too much stuff, I haven't got enough storage, or I

haven't got time to sort things out. Look at the garden! Terry, are awe

hoarder? No, but my wife has tend sis in that direction. A slight

magpie tendsy. Incidentally, that cat... The hoarding cat! How about

your mum? Does she acknowledge that he has a problem or does she laugh

about it? She does laugh about it, otherwise you would cry, which is

what I did throughout the entire documentary. She is unusual in that

she has a high level of awareness. Most hoarders are in denial, to be

honest with you. And she has managed to clear some of the stuff

hasn't she? She half. We took everything everything to an

enormous warehouse. She managed to get rid of about 50 % of her stuff.

There is still a fair bit left. did she react to that when you were

getting rid of it? She had input into the decisions about what we

got rid of. She let loads of books go without checking what was in the

boxes, which was a huge break- through. A big step forward. Thank

you so much Jasmine for coming in. If you want information on

compulsive hoarding jus jus has set up a website. There's a link from

ours. So dad, log on! The full documentary is on Tuesday at 9.00

pm on BBC One. Here's Joe Crowley on an unusual

form of herk insurance which sounds far-fetched but could be a life-

saver. In this space aged facility state

of the art storage unit is stocked with what for jeers was scrred

clinical waste. These contain the blood of over 50,000 umbilical

cords. The blood is full of stem cells, which are unique in their

ability to replace and regenerate diseased or damaged cells

throughout our life. By storing your child's you can ensure they

have a perfect match should they need them in future. Leon's mum

Alex heard about cord blood storage when she gave birth. She hoped that

it might one day be able to treat illnesss that he or her family

might develop. My family is really important to me, so if I can look

after them and protect them and guard against health issues they

might have in future by doing this, I will do it. Some people may think

that it is a lot of money, that it is potentially something I wouldn't

use, but you don't know. You can't turn back time. If I haven't got it,

obviously I can't use it. We are in the cry o preservation room. This

is where we store all of our samples. In these huge tanks?

these large tanks. Roger Deity is hugely excited about it's endless

possibility that stem cells already have and may have in the future.

There's about 85 diseases which are recorded as treatable with stem

cells. I think you will see more and more that there is a tribal

coming out with cerebral palsy, with interesting positive results.

And type one diabetes, another area which is being attacked by stem

cells. Why do people wants to freeze their own scored blooded?

it is stored with a private bank there's a perfect match for the

baby and a very, very high probability it will match for any

other siblings and indeed the parents and possibly the grand

parents. How much does this process cost? In round figures it is �15 00.

That includes the skhrection, all of the tests -- collection, all of

the tests and storage for 25 years. In another five years we will

probably offer 35 years insurance. It is a biomedical insurance?

better to have a sample and not need it than to need it and not

have it. It could be big business. But what if you don't have the �15

00 needed to store the blood from your umbilical cord? Leicester is

one of a small group of NHS hospitals that have recently

started collecting cord blood. It is one of ten public banks where

cords from new mothers are collected and stored anonymously to

help strangers in des prats need of stem cells. This midwife is keen

that these public banks are filled to help people who need help now.

Up to now the core blood stocks in this country have been quite small.

At the moment 80% of cord blood transplants come from abroad. Our

aim is to collect enough is that we are providing at least 80% of

what's needed. The numbers done aiding are quite small, but growing

all the time. Mother-to-be Tina is due today and has agreed do donate

her baby's um bill I canal cord to the programme. I didn't think they

-- Umbilical chord to the programme. It's been an easy decision. It is

so simple to do and it will help somebody out there. For people with

illnesses like leukaemia stem cells from umbilical cords can offer the

last help. Sorrell was diagnosed with leukaemia at 7 months. After

chemotherapy failed her doctors searched for cord blood to try to

regenerate her cells and cure her, but they couldn't find suitable

donations in the UK or Europe. Eventually they found a match in

Japan. I was so glad that we had found a donor. I actually felt I

wanted to find that mother and hug her. Umbilical cord blood usually

thrown away might offer the best insurance for your own or someone

else's family when you need it most. Thanks Joe. Things are looking good

for Sorrell last time we heard from the family.

Carrie has a question for us. you remember this?

# Love goes where my Rosemary goes? My baby loves love-in #

What do all these records have in common? They all feature the

singing talents of the same man. Tony Burrows might not be a

household man but when it comes to chart success, he's record-breaking.

He holds the rare and paradoxical distinction of being a one-hit

wonder five times. Tony's career started here in Bristol back in the

'50s. He sang with several bands, toured with the beatles and

provided back-up for artists like Billie Fury. But in 1970 just at

the point when he decided life on the road was no longer for him, his

ceesh took a remarkable turn. career took a remarkable turn.

The band was put together in a recording studio and the single

provided Tony Burrows with his first hit as a lead vocalist.

never had a number one and I didn't know what the experience was going

to be. It was so immediate. Ridiculous figures. I didn't have

time to think about it. I really didn't have time to sit down and

think, golly, this is wonderful. But this wasn't Tony's first hit.

Back in 1967 he had sung as part of vocal harmony group The Flower Pot

Men. Their hit Let's Go to San Francisco went to the top of the

charts.? 18970s Tony would achieve something unique in British chart

history. It's Top Of The Pops! 28th February two new records

entered the top ten. United We Stand by the brotherhood of Man,

and My Baby Loves Love-in. Both bands feeched vocal that is Tony

had recorded in studio sessionings. He now had three records in the top

ten with three different bands. They were all released at the same

time, which is really strange. must have been a total panic for

you? Yes. It was. It was a little bit. Because I was trying to split

myself in so many different directions. But I wasn't

complaining. But it didn't stop there. At the end of March Tony had

another hit under another name. Gimme That Ding reached number six.

Did the public know you were on that song? I don't think. So people

didn't know. Tony still had one more hit up his sleeve. Package

holiday obsessed Brits loved Beach Baby in 1974.

Earning Tony his fifth one-hit wonder.

How lucrative has being a session singer been for you? We were too

busy making a good living to stand back and earn a fortune. That's

basically how I feel, but I've been very comfortable. You've been

described as the man of a thousand voices and the man of '70s pop. How

do you feel about that? I've been a one-hit wonder five times! Is that

alright with you? Yes. I've had a wonderful time. I really have.

Well, Terry has just told me a brilliant alternative name for that

song. Lover grows up my Rosemary's nose! LAUGHTER We asked you for

pictures of your cats that have brought you gifts. My mum's cat

brought you gifts. My mum's cat likes to steal children's dummies.

One of these cats is Ginger. He brought in a frog and hid it under

the bed. We saw Carrie talking about Tony Burrows. We have to

mention it. You've been a one hit wonder. You know what's coming next.

The Floral Dance. As the night following the day, I know what's

coming next. To help you relive The Floral Dance here are the Fulham

brass band and fellow Irishman of yours, Mr Zachary Stevenson. Take
