03/06/2014 The One Show

Matt Baker... And Alex Jones. Tonight was 's guest is coming up to

his 30th year on our screens. As you can see, from this, he hasn't

changed since 1985. It's Huw Edwards! That is known as treachery!

I did advise against it, they said it was such a good picture. There

are more cheeks and glasses... Those were of their time. Mid-80s. Please

take it off the screen! For those who enjoyed that, we've got some

moving footage. From the looks of this, you must be glad to be behind

a desk. Where was that? This is actually all in Welsh. They checked

to see you weren't saying anything bad. It was about the snowdrifts. It

was on the A470, from Cardiff to Merthyr Tydfil. There is snow there

in July, let me promise you. They won't like me saying that. Those

glasses were really of the time. They are 1985 vintage, OK? The exact

copy of Dennis Taylor's glasses. Were they? Not those, the other

ones. The moving footage ones? He wore those at the time when he was

winning the World Championship in 1985. He is a hero of mine, so I

bought them. I thought they were special ones, so he could lock up

when he was looking down? They were a different pair. Look, I'm an

expert! Since then, I have had my eyes zapped. . Can I just say, that

is a really nice start to the programme. I am on the Tenneco News

tonight, so I'm off now! And tomorrow you have the State opening

of Parliament. We are going to talk about this as the programme goes on.

Later in the show, we will be meeting Brian Carter, who not only

took part in the D-Day landings, but managed to capture some of the

action on his dad's camera. This is a bit of a long shot, but it got us

thinking, was he the only one with a camera does anybody have any D-Day

photos they have never shared before? If you have some at home,

send them in. Depending on the result of the next general election,

before long we could be voting on whether to stay in the EU. FIFA MPs,

it's not soon enough and they decided to hold their own mock

referendum now. It is Friday, the morning after the

polls closed in the local and European elections. This man and his

team are still handing out leaflets. Has he not got the message? No, he's

not living in a bubble. He is the Tory MP for Willingboro and he wants

out of the EU. David Cameron's promise of a referendum in 2017 is

too far away. Peter Bowen and another local Conservative MP,

Philip Oliver, are holding their own mock referendum now, in

Northamptonshire. They are claiming it is the country's biggest public

vote on our membership of the EU in nearly 40 years. The question is,

should the United Kingdom be a member of the European union, yes

no? 250,000 people are eligible to vote online and by post.

no? 250,000 people are eligible to raised the money through private

donations. They make no bones about the verdict they want from voters.

It is extremely the verdict they want from voters.

undemocratic. In other parts of the world we control immigration and say

who can come in. That is what world we control immigration and say

British people want. They don't world we control immigration and say

to say no to the world we control immigration and say

to be able to control it. Why can't world we control immigration and say

David Cameron has talked about? We world we control immigration and say

House of Commons and made law now. I am Peter Bowen, MP. We are having a

referendum as to to come out or stay in the European

be some renegotiation, hopefully. what it might be.

be some renegotiation, hopefully. Now is the time to decide. It will

give an indicator of what people are thinking. It is more of a mock

referendum, if you like. I'd like to know and read up

referendum, if you like. I'd like to anyway. With his ballot on the way,

the European elections. The issue of the European Union is

the European elections. The issue of important. We knew that, but there

is proof in the ballot box. Is there anything that you like about Europe?

Their food. That's it? They've got a nice bit of history. Italy is quite

nice to go to. Peter wants a big turnout, but how much do his

constituents know about the EU? What is the average salary of an MEP? 28?

?28,000? 40? ?140,000? A heck of a lot more than I do. How many

countries are in the EU? 104. How many MEPs are there? 20. 700. Can

you name a European country that is not in the EU? Turkey? The Norway?

They did all right on the last one. As with any referendum, mock or

otherwise, there are two sides to the argument. Peter Wilding is from

the cross-party pro EU group British Influence. They want the EU to

change, but Britain to stay in. Why should we remain in Europe? Peace.

We have not had a world war in Europe for 70 years. Prosperity. We

have a single market, the very thing we signed up for in 1973. 4 million

jobs are linked to the arrangement. Thirdly, power. Britain's influence

in the world is much more amplified as a leading member of the European

Union. The One Show has invited Peter and Peter to hold a street

debate and battle it out over Brussels. We can't accept 200,000

people coming into the country. We can't be on our own in this modern

world. ?41 billion, our membership, we could use part of that to improve

hospitals, schools... When you think of Europe, you think of the jobs

that your kids and grandkids can have. Which Peter did the people

listen to? We should get out. We should get out. Why? Too many people

are coming into the country, not a lift housing. We need to have

English. I am pro-Europe, I would like to stay in Europe. I can't say

one way or another. My heart says leave, my head says probably to

stay. Peter Bowen says there is no deadline for the deadlines to get

their vote in. They'll just stop counting when the votes drying up.

We will go and knock on the door and say, Prime Minister, these are the

results of the ballot. Just two reiterate, that is a mock

referendum. Joe Twyman is here. Did you have a vote as to who to send an

programme aggro? I got 100% of the vote! Was it a mock vote? Legally

binding! If there was a referendum tomorrow, what do you predict the

outcome today? It has changed, if you go back to 2012, 30 9% of people

said they wanted to stay in the EU and the rest wanted to leave. In

2009, it is really close. About 51% of people say they want to stay, 49

say they want to leave. We have had the sovereign debt crisis, the

economy has improved. When you delve down into more detail, it is not

just about staying or leaving, it is about reform of the EU. What people

actually want is reform of the institution, reform of the

organisation. Only 25% of people actually want to leave. It's not

actually on the top of people's priorities. Only about one in seven

people listed in their top three. It is not a pressing concern for a lot

of people. A couple of weeks ago when we have the European

elections, the turnout was 36%. I think for a referendum on Europe we

might get 50%, because it is the first opportunity a lot of people

have had since 1975, and a lot of us were not born of them. Put your foot

right in it! Hold that thought for a second. The complication is that

when we talk about the EU and expansion it has had over the last

few years, actually, it all comes down now, in this debate today, to

the actual process of migration, levels of immigration. When we talk

about reform of the way it works, when we talk about science, budget,

all of these are interesting issues. Out there, when you ask people in

the recent European elections what is exercising them, under the

umbrella of European policy, it is immigration. That is why Nigel

Farage has had such a successful campaign, it has been their main

theme. A lot of these policies have been completed down to this one,

central issue. You have to ask the question, really, when you look

ahead to any kind of referendum, what would that be about? What would

politicians be campaigning on? Would it be on the size of the EU, what it

achieves or what it provides? Or would it be to do with the free

movement of people and the impact that has on different countries?

1975, thanks for that thought! I was 14. With the best classes in the

class! Huw will be in Normandy for the 70th anniversary of D-Day on

Friday. We will be talking about the coverage on the BBC in a moment.

First, Carrie Grant has been to meet 89-year-old Brian Carter Hugh, 70

years ago, took part in the Normandy landings and just happened to take

along his dad's camera. June the 6th, 1944. The D-Day

landings. The biggest land invasion in history. For 20-year-old Royal

Navy sublet tenant Brian, it was a day he would never forget. People

always say, were you frightened? I was frightened of being frightened.

Because I had to set the example. When your ship sailed, what was the

job of your particular ship? To take American tanks. We took two less

than we should have done, because the ship was leaking so badly. There

was a hail of shells and bombs. It was pretty rough. A pretty rough

do. Were you allowed to have your camera with you? No, I don't think

we were. But I never heard anybody tell me that we can't. So, I have

seen photos that have been terribly sparse. I think I got the best. What

camera were you using? Did it look like this? Yes. It would have been.

We have The One Show would love to be able to give this to you as a

gift. That's terribly kind of you. We heard that you've lost your

original. More than kind of you. When you look at these photographs,

all these years later, how do you reflect on the fact that you

actually took them? Well, I suppose I'm always pleased that I did take

them. It was just an experience that came my way, that's all.

Remember, we would love to see your unseen photos of D-Day, if you've

got any at home, send them in before the end of the show. Huw, the

anniversary, it happens on Friday, from 9:15 on BBC One. You have the

morning, the afternoon and highlights in the evening. What can

we expect to see? More of that remarkable generation. We talk to

others with equally impressive stories to tell. Really, to reflect

on what was achieved 70 years ago. It's easy for us to take it for

granted. Just to go through the scale of the operation, the ambition

of it, the planning, which took months and months. The most

ambitious military operation of its kind ever seen. Actually, lots of

the odds were stacked against them. What they were trying to do was

incredibly difficult, it had never been done before. To go through some

of the detail of that, talking to some of those people involved will

stop them, you are quite right, around these big events. On Friday

morning, there will be a service in the cemetery. There will also be a

service at the cathedral. In the afternoon you will have lots of

world leaders at the international event, as it is known. The Queen,

the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales. Later on, at the centre of

the British commemoration, the end of the day, you will have the

Normandy veterans, for the last time. They are disbanding, later

this year, having their last formal parade. And you will have the Duke

and Duchess of Cambridge there. I think it will be a very memorable

day. There are fewer veterans than ten years ago, I was there, it was

very moving. Is that what struck you? Yes, you are struck by the fact

that lots of these gentlemen, and some ladies too, are in the late 80s

and 90s, and there are far fewer of them than ten years ago, it stands

to reason. For that reason, they are having more difficulty making the

journey, it is an owner is task, so they have decided in November this

year, the association will disband formally, and they will have a

special service at Saint Margaret's in Westminster. That adds poignancy

to what we will see on Friday. I am looking forward to it, I think it

will be very moving. You were just telling us your dad was a prisoner

of war. Your grandfather, during the landings, which saved him, in a way,

potentially. He was in the merchant navy, and on D-Day they played a big

role, taking all the troops over, lots of supplies, food, all the rest

of it. But he had been taken prisoner because his own ship had

been sunk in 1941, so we was a prisoner for over three years. He

missed D-Day, but I remember him saying several times, had I been

free, you know, he would have been playing as part, and I am sure lots

of people will reflect on that. The programme starts at 9:15 on BBC One,

with highlights on BBC Two at eight o'clock

one family in Cornwall had and an expected guests during the storms

earlier this year. He proved to be a slippery character, and it was an

emotional moment when he said goodbye. Mike Dilger was there to

see it. Earlier this year, this village to

quite a battering in the storms, and it was not just the locals heading

for cover. John and Val woke up to find people in their garden,

standing guard over a very distressed eight-week-old baby grey

seal. So come on, where was this seal? Just here, underneath the

pampas grass, it was much bigger. How was it looking? It looked as if

it had had enough, its eyes looked so sad. You live about 20 metres

from the harbour, but it had to come up the slipway, over the road and

onto your lawn to hide. Do you know how he's doing at the moment? He is

coming on well, growing quite quickly. He is about to be released,

are you up for seeing him being released? Love to see him go.

Battered and bruised, exhausted Rover was rescued by Dan Jarvis from

the Cornish seal sanctuary. How was he when you first receive Tim? He

was completely exhausted from the stormy weather. He had been bashed

about on the rocks, I think, and he had a few injuries, scrapes and

scratches. He had a swollen flipper, that was our main concern,

it turned out it was not broken luckily. He is doing really well, he

is a big bruiser, just over 40 kilograms a couple of days ago,

doing really well, and now it is time for him to go. You have been

feeding them for weeks, will you miss them? It is an emotional moment

to see them go, you do get attached to them, especially the worst cases

when they come in. But it is the best bit of the job to see them go.

You tell me what to do, let's get them to the beach. Brilliant, let's

go. Well done, guys, brilliant!

Fantastic! They are heavy! This is Rover. The first step of his

journey. Having spent the last four months building up his strength at

the sanctuary, today he is due to be released back into the sea on a

beach near Hale. Ready to go, John and Val are here, the seals are

ready. They are, and Val are here, the seals are

go! There they go! Leading the way! A loss larger than last time you saw

him. Yes, twice the size. There egos, look, fantastic! -- there the

goes. It is his first wave! Wonderful! That is great. He will

enjoy himself now. Fabulous. You cannot get better than that, what a

result! Quite a result. Uplifting but sad to

see him go. Like many of you at home, we have our very own World Cup

wall chart. Now, here it is, admittedly a little

bit bigger than most, and we need you at home to help us fill it. As

Huw pointed out, no Wales, we should just have a picture of Gareth Bale!

You are meant to be one in the show, where is Wales?! Sadly, Gareth

Bale is not playing for England, that is sad. Not at all, actually!

Listen, we want each of the 32 teams to be represented by viewers, and

here are the first four. We had a right laugh trying to find all the

different countries. You will help me! Completely unrehearsed, banging

the drum for Brazil, it is Luiza McConnell. Her mum always makes

dress up like this, presumably that is not her mum in the picture. We

did this last night, you will remember. It is quite high up.

Ready? Oh! I have to move on to France, OK? Supporting Les Bleus,

this is Mark Botwright. He reckons he should be the face of France

because he is a garlic farmer. He is going to do well with his garlic

sales. Good. The national anthem is playing as well, lots of layers to

this game. This is the sound of Costa Rica, here we are, Rebecca

Taylor sent us this picture of her boyfriend, Jorge Jimenez. He lived

in Costa Rica for 12 years, and his family have since lots of Costa Rica

nibbles to watch the matches with. I think they are in the same group as

England, down here, I believe. My football knowledge has come on!

Flying the flag for Greece, this is the relay gets Keri, nominated by

the Mason family. -- this is the relayed -- three legged kitten. Keep

your photos coming! We are looking for a few more, and we? We are still

looking for viewers to represent 28 more countries, and tomorrow we will

choose another four. Send us a photograph and why you want to

represent one of the countries at the usual address. The whole point

of a World Cup song is to help inspire your team to victory, and

only one has managed to do it for England, World Cup Willie. It was

sung by Lonnie Donegan, and his sons could not be prouder of their dad's

achievements. Even as youngsters we realised that

Lonnie Donegan, our dad, was a great start. He rose to fame in the 1950s

and inspired generations. He performed right here at the 100 Club

in London. Dad was definitely the first pop

Idol. He was the first person that everyone went crazy for. Time to

introduce the king of skiffle himself, Lonnie Donegan!

He started off the rock and roll scene. He did enjoy it legendary

status. So many people say they are inspired by my dad, like Eric

Clapton, The Beatles. He was very Victorian in his attitudes, he

didn't understand kids. He would give you the, what are you going to

do with the rest of your life?! I was seven! It was to be the best

that we could be in everything, that is what he wanted for as, to really

make it in life. We are half-brothers, I was born in 1967,

and mum and dad separated when I was quite small. As I got into my 30s,

our relationship built. My mum was the third and last marriage. We grew

up between California and Spain. There I was, sitting on his knee,

playing this for me. # My older man is a Dustman.

# The ways a Dustman's hat... Whereas, in fact, grandad was a

violinist. This is where he used to base themselves on DDR you can see

why, gorgeous. -- on tour. Hello! Sorry to bother you, I used

to live here! You did? I grew up here. This is my older brother,

Anthony. He used to visit. Donegan. That is a name... Lonnie Donegan? It

is quite emotional, coming back here. I have not been here for so

long. Things coming flooding back into my mind. Originally, we were

thinking, I cannot member this, what did we do? Now I remember. Dad was

very honoured to get the MBE. He was puzzled why it didn't come earlier

in his career, he had had a slight resurgence in the 1990s, but why not

when he was massive in the 1950s? This is where we came after he got

his MBA at Buckingham Palace, a celebratory dinner. -- MBE. The

smell! Must be hungry. It hasn't changed one bit. We had the long

table down the middle here. Mum was over by the bar, Ronnie Wood was

over here. Have a good evening and walked off! He had a great day,

didn't he? The last two was called, this could be the last time, and

ironically it was. -- tour. A few weeks later, he passed away through

heart problems. It was the last time I saw dad, on the day we performed

together. He was immensely proud, because we were both on stage with

him, and Ireland are saying, this is it, this is what I really wanted. --

and I remember him saying. What a great way, to see you're that for

the last time. That is nearly it for tonight. We

look forward to seeing all the live D-Day coverage starting at 9:15 on

Friday on BBC One. Tomorrow we have an exclusive interview with Chris

Froome, but we will eat you with Lonnie Donegan Junior, the only

World Cup song to help England to victory.

# Dressed in red, white and blue, he's World Cup Willie

# We all love him too, World Cup Willie

# He's tough as a lion and never will give up

# That's why Willie is favourite for the Cup

# He's everybody's favourrite for the Cup

# He's everybody's favourrite for the Cup
