:00:43. > :00:46.with Alex Jones... They are Britain's most successful
:00:47. > :00:54.country band ever, the Shires, and they are here to help us
:00:55. > :01:05.celebrate our first is very much so. Let's get rooted
:01:06. > :01:08.into night's programme, because all the experts say that this year is
:01:09. > :01:10.going to be momentous in terms of politics and world events, but what
:01:11. > :01:12.do they know? Who could have guessed
:01:13. > :01:14.what would happen last year? So what do the next 12 months really
:01:15. > :01:32.have in store for all of us? Getting married, getting a house...
:01:33. > :01:35.Congratulations on all that. Good luck with it. Let's have a word over
:01:36. > :01:41.here. There's been a lot of anticipation about your story. I
:01:42. > :01:45.would just like to open my shared house in Camberwell for refugees to
:01:46. > :01:51.stay. What a wonderful thought. And how about you? Are you friends?
:01:52. > :01:57.Yeah, but mine is a bit less good. Mine is to learn to ride a bike
:01:58. > :01:58.finally, properly. We might have a film coming up to help you with
:01:59. > :02:01.that, so stay tuned. We'll be chewing over the bigger
:02:02. > :02:03.questions with the help of three voices from the worlds of business,
:02:04. > :02:12.politics and journalism. Let's say a very warm welcome to
:02:13. > :02:18.James, James and Julie! APPLAUSE
:02:19. > :02:21.Because we want to hear from all of you at home tonight as well.
:02:22. > :02:23.Britain - what are your thoughts, hopes, and predictions
:02:24. > :02:31.And how will they compare to our panel's predictions?
:02:32. > :02:33.Let us know by emailing us at theoneshow@bbc.co.uk
:02:34. > :02:43.Also joining us a comedy star who, when we asked him to describe 2016
:02:44. > :02:45.in three words said, "could do better"!
:02:46. > :02:47.So let's find out what the new year holds for him -
:02:48. > :03:01.Hello! Hello. Four experts on the sofa this evening. The fourth
:03:02. > :03:04.expert... I'm so pleased that you said you are pregnant because I
:03:05. > :03:15.would note have that to be fair, we've had some awkward
:03:16. > :03:20.few moments with guests on wondering. O'Connor you look well...
:03:21. > :03:29.So, 4th of January today, how is 2017 shaping up so far? Very early
:03:30. > :03:32.days and so far. It's been an exceptional 2017 so far! I've
:03:33. > :03:38.started a health kick, joining the gym tonight. Looking good! I'm
:03:39. > :03:49.jogging home this evening. Good for you. You will not be jogging to your
:03:50. > :03:55.stand-up tour! But we will talk about that individual while, as we
:03:56. > :03:57.will also talk about the period drama you will be starring in.
:03:58. > :03:59.Exciting times. But what other big events do we know
:04:00. > :04:02.will happen this year? Over to Gyles with his guide
:04:03. > :04:16.to the first six months of 2017. If you were looking for just one
:04:17. > :04:19.word to describe 2017, dull would not be it. It's going to be a big
:04:20. > :04:20.year with some big politics, some big movies, some fond farewells and
:04:21. > :04:38.some exciting hellos. January sees us say Hail to the new chief as
:04:39. > :04:41.Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States. With
:04:42. > :04:44.so little expected of him by some on this side of the pond, will he
:04:45. > :04:47.really turn out to be as bad as they think? His real concern before the
:04:48. > :04:49.real work begins is, who's going to play at his inauguration? Any
:04:50. > :04:52.takers? In March we will say goodbye to the old ?1 coin and hello to the
:04:53. > :04:56.new very difficult to forge 12 sided coin. What will the new pound in
:04:57. > :05:01.your piggy bank be worth? Why the end of March the dithering over
:05:02. > :05:06.Article 50 has to stop and that may or may not have a turbulence effect
:05:07. > :05:09.on sterling. With the two-year exit clock then ticking down to zero,
:05:10. > :05:17.Theresa May must have a few things up her sleeve is she is to deliver
:05:18. > :05:23.the best for the nation. Also the final farewell to cigarette
:05:24. > :05:27.branding. From the 21st, all fag packets will look the same, plane.
:05:28. > :05:32.And where there's smoke, there is fire. France could be next to
:05:33. > :05:41.surprise the establishment as Marine Le Pen and her populist party --
:05:42. > :05:44.right wing party attempt to ride the populist wave. If it sounds like you
:05:45. > :05:50.to be a series of unfortunate events, the new Netflix blockbuster
:05:51. > :05:59.is almost here. Expect a cushion of comfort viewing from the TV powers
:06:00. > :06:01.that be. In cinema, there is the live action version of beauty and
:06:02. > :06:02.the beast and come Valentine's Day, the new Fifty Shades Of Grey movie
:06:03. > :06:10.to look forward to. Also lots of wrong! You will be
:06:11. > :06:15.watching that from the comfort of your sofa, won't you? Exactly, yeah!
:06:16. > :06:20.Our predictions panel have joined Jack on the sofa.
:06:21. > :06:31.Businesswoman of the Year winner and construction company boss
:06:32. > :06:35.Julie White, who says 2016 was "travel, collaboration and Brexit".
:06:36. > :06:45.Conservative MP James Cleverly, who spent last year campaigning
:06:46. > :06:49.for Brexit and says 2016 was "Theresa, Brexit and Olympics".
:06:50. > :06:57.Of course, the Olympics, good point. So, Brexit will kick off in earnest
:06:58. > :07:02.in March. Over Christmas, did you have arguments around the table
:07:03. > :07:06.about Brexit? Julie, I think you did in your house? I did my own Brexit
:07:07. > :07:16.and left for Christmas! Acres it got so bad? No, but we are quite divided
:07:17. > :07:20.in our family and probably age group divided as well, we have had some
:07:21. > :07:24.very heated conversations. But I think we can all meet. I presume
:07:25. > :07:41.yours is a business family? That's right, I did a management
:07:42. > :07:43.buyout for my family business and we are very different in our views and
:07:44. > :07:46.it's been amazing. It's been amazing to see other business people that I
:07:47. > :07:49.know how they have voted. I thought people would vote the way they did
:07:50. > :07:52.and they have voted completely different. It's been a real
:07:53. > :07:54.eye-opener, Brexit. James Connor what about your Christmas? A lot of
:07:55. > :07:58.talking and broadcasting? I'm not allowed to argue an air -- I'm not
:07:59. > :08:04.allowed to argue there, I'd do it on the radio! Sometimes you can win
:08:05. > :08:09.arguments even if you're wrong because you've got the right
:08:10. > :08:18.tactics! Looking ahead into 2017, are you going to stop Bremoaning?
:08:19. > :08:25.That kind of sums it up, doesn't it? The morning after winning, some of
:08:26. > :08:32.the people who one just tried to think of a rude word for the people
:08:33. > :08:39.who just lost. That sums up the rancorous way of it. Why did the man
:08:40. > :08:46.who was supposed to be leading our entourage into Brussels have to
:08:47. > :08:54.resign because he didn't know what was going on? I then see it as
:08:55. > :08:58.Bremoaning?, I see it as asking pertinent questions, Matt!
:08:59. > :09:00.James Cleverley, the country felt angry
:09:01. > :09:13.You must have felt that in the letters and social media you were
:09:14. > :09:16.reading at the time. How do you think we can put that right and make
:09:17. > :09:19.that better for 2017 and try to have a sense of unity again? I think the
:09:20. > :09:22.big thing in the immediate aftermath of the vote was, first it was a
:09:23. > :09:25.surprise to a lot of people, even the people like myself who had
:09:26. > :09:27.campaigned, and it was very tight and know one knew how it would go
:09:28. > :09:48.right until the end so it was a big surprise. A massive
:09:49. > :09:50.amounts of disappointment and many people campaigned passionately to
:09:51. > :09:53.stay in and I think that manifested itself in both directions in things
:09:54. > :09:56.that were said in haste and I think will be regretted in the long term.
:09:57. > :09:58.But I think we've now started to bed in and there are legitimate
:09:59. > :10:00.questions and James is right but there is a bit less uncertainty
:10:01. > :10:02.everyday. We had a debate about it over Christmas and there were
:10:03. > :10:05.passionate views on both sides during the debate and they are kind
:10:06. > :10:07.of converging a bit. There's definitely a place where however you
:10:08. > :10:10.campaign you can get to and be comfortable. There will be a period
:10:11. > :10:14.of uncertainty as the negotiations go forward. What do you think is the
:10:15. > :10:20.best that business people can hope for in this year when the goalposts
:10:21. > :10:26.will be changing? It would be nice to have some kind of a direction, to
:10:27. > :10:32.even have a timescale. What we can do in business, we can get on with
:10:33. > :10:36.it. It's hard to have a direction, you can have focus and a period of
:10:37. > :10:40.getting there... Is it going to be short, is it going to be long, is it
:10:41. > :10:44.going to be hard, is it going to be soft? We all just don't know. You
:10:45. > :10:49.have to hope that the Prime Minister knows. I just wonder why she's not
:10:50. > :10:57.telling anyone else. Can I just say, I love how serious The One Show has
:10:58. > :11:05.got! You'll have a discussion about garden peas and now it's turned into
:11:06. > :11:13.Question Time! I love it! We've got see mice coming up. Thank God for
:11:14. > :11:18.that, I was getting quite worried! I was like, where am I? More from our
:11:19. > :11:24.panel in a moment and please keep sending us your 2017 predictions.
:11:25. > :11:28.Now Gyles Brandreth is discussing seagulls! Not again, that was last
:11:29. > :11:35.time! One thing for certain about 2017 is
:11:36. > :11:39.that as ever, The One Show will be shining a light on the stories that
:11:40. > :11:46.affect you, from big national issues to those right on your doorstep.
:11:47. > :11:50.That includes the battle from people on a Sheffield Street and their
:11:51. > :11:54.counsel that have caused arrests and many protests including a big one
:11:55. > :12:03.today outside the town hall. Andy went to see how bad it all got.
:12:04. > :12:10.It really is awful what they've done to it. 5am and Sheffield Council
:12:11. > :12:14.contract is called in by police officers arrived to chop down eight
:12:15. > :12:21.trees. The council says they are either diseased or making
:12:22. > :12:25.pavements... Locals have been fighting for well over a year to
:12:26. > :12:31.save them and as contractors moved income of three bleary eyed but
:12:32. > :12:35.furious residents were arrested. To me, the pair of you don't look like
:12:36. > :12:40.vigilantes, but tell us how you came to be arrested. There was a little
:12:41. > :12:48.in closure put around the trunk of the tree, so I stood around that and
:12:49. > :12:54.Frieda joined me. We were kept in separate cells for eight hours,
:12:55. > :12:59.fingerprinted and we had the DNA swabs and then we were interviewed.
:13:00. > :13:08.We were aware it carries a custodial sentence but it's a very daunting
:13:09. > :13:16.prospect. The council had promised no trees would go. The panel said at
:13:17. > :13:20.least five of the eight trees could stay but the council decided all of
:13:21. > :13:28.them should go. So when was the report published? They didn't posted
:13:29. > :13:32.until 30 minutes before they were hammering on my door. Sheffield
:13:33. > :13:38.council has since said sorry and promised that in future no trees
:13:39. > :13:42.will be cut down before 7am. One of the country's leading tree experts
:13:43. > :13:48.has come to Sheffield to check out their troublesome trees. What kind
:13:49. > :13:52.of problems can mature trees along a street like this cause? The main
:13:53. > :13:55.problem will be damage to the surfacing and lifting up the
:13:56. > :14:01.pavement and displacing the kerbstones. What can you do instead
:14:02. > :14:05.of cutting down the tree? There are lots of flexible paving products you
:14:06. > :14:10.can use to build over the roots and allow them to grow and move. This
:14:11. > :14:15.tree was a among the eight to be axed but was saved by the
:14:16. > :14:18.protesters. What is Jeremy Maclin plus expert opinion? Disruption on
:14:19. > :14:27.this side of the pavement but it is minimal. This is all stuff,
:14:28. > :14:31.technical solutions. We do have some curb displacement there but they
:14:32. > :14:34.just take those out and then you've got another ten or 20 years growth
:14:35. > :14:38.for the tree before it even starts to encroach on the highway. The
:14:39. > :14:43.independent tree panel took the same view, yet the council, which had
:14:44. > :14:46.promised to listen to the council's advice, ordered its destruction
:14:47. > :14:51.anyway. As we don't know exactly which trees will be next, Jeremy
:14:52. > :14:55.cast his expert eye over several currently in the council's sites.
:14:56. > :14:59.Are there any trees here you think ought to be removed? None from a
:15:00. > :15:03.health point of view, they are all OK and from a safety point of view
:15:04. > :15:08.they are all fine. We've looked at every tree here and none of them
:15:09. > :15:11.need to come out. This is contrary to government guidance and contrary
:15:12. > :15:14.to the professional guidance set out by the chartered Institute of
:15:15. > :15:17.highways and transport. It's just a shocking affair that really we have
:15:18. > :15:21.to try to make sure doesn't happen anywhere else in the country. Time
:15:22. > :15:25.to meet a counsellor. Bryan Lodge is overseeing the scheme. We've had an
:15:26. > :15:29.internationally were allowed tree expert look at the trees around
:15:30. > :15:33.Sheffield Ammon of the things he said is that these trees by and
:15:34. > :15:35.large have still got an awful lot of life in them yet. What is the
:15:36. > :15:45.necessity to cut those down? Nobody denies they have life in
:15:46. > :15:50.them, nobody is saying they are unhealthy. But they are causing
:15:51. > :15:56.damage to the pavements and highway. Let's look at the case of Rustlings
:15:57. > :16:01.Road. Your independent report said the eight cut down... They were
:16:02. > :16:06.healthy and not causing a problem but they were cut down nevertheless.
:16:07. > :16:10.They caused problems to the pavement and highway. Did your report said
:16:11. > :16:16.those five should be cut down? It didn't? The report suggested we
:16:17. > :16:20.looked at an engineering solution and on the cost basis the council
:16:21. > :16:25.does not have the funding to do these works. The truth of it is that
:16:26. > :16:29.trees are being cut down in their thousands around Sheffield because
:16:30. > :16:35.it is cheaper than maintaining them properly? No, we are replacing trees
:16:36. > :16:40.across the city. There are 34000 Five Hundred St trees. By the end of
:16:41. > :16:47.this contract period we will have moved up to 6000 but we are planting
:16:48. > :16:51.more. Two months on and the unlikely protesters are waiting to hear if
:16:52. > :16:56.they will face prosecution over their bids to keep the leaves
:16:57. > :17:00.rustling on Rustlings Road. Andy saying people are waiting and there
:17:01. > :17:05.is a lot going on in the area and the council have agreed to look
:17:06. > :17:14.again at chopping down 23 trees planted in 1919 to honour the fallen
:17:15. > :17:17.of world war -- World War I. If you bought a house on that beautiful
:17:18. > :17:21.street with those trees, you would be disappointed. You will have to
:17:22. > :17:33.question whether the pathways are that bad. Weirdly, Jack, you are in
:17:34. > :17:39.Sheffield. We are back on! You are in Sheffield on the 15th as part of
:17:40. > :17:44.your At Large tour. This is the eve of the tour tonight, kind of your
:17:45. > :17:50.warm up. This is my warm up and then it starts. Are you excited, nervous?
:17:51. > :17:59.Sheffield, I think that is the arena on an ice rink, which they cover up
:18:00. > :18:04.for the show. They should leave it! Jack Whitehall on ice, that is the
:18:05. > :18:09.dream. Have you been practising in the kitchen? All of that, writing it
:18:10. > :18:16.out and pinning it on the wall like a serial killer and getting it into
:18:17. > :18:19.my head. It is already to go. Tomorrow starts in Northampton and
:18:20. > :18:23.my parents are coming to the first show. Is that nice? It is
:18:24. > :18:31.nerve-racking because there are stuff about them in it. My dad is
:18:32. > :18:40.coming with his friend, Nick, who lives in Northampton, and he bought
:18:41. > :18:44.the tickets and invited my dad. Nick Hewer. You do not want him rolling
:18:45. > :18:50.his eyes and jotting things down like he did on the Apprentice. There
:18:51. > :18:56.are pyrotechnics. Comedy pyrotechnics. Are they different
:18:57. > :19:03.from normal pyrotechnics? There is a big finale for the show 's wedding
:19:04. > :19:06.gets into the reader and I would love to end every show with a
:19:07. > :19:10.musical number and seeing, but I have a terrible voice and people
:19:11. > :19:20.would hate it so I think outside the box and there is a big ending. You
:19:21. > :19:24.arrived on a Segway in the last one. There were health and safety forms I
:19:25. > :19:31.had to fill out to do it. It has not happened yet, but here are thoughts
:19:32. > :19:37.on what you can possibly expect from one of Jack's performances. Some
:19:38. > :19:45.farm in the airport, go to a fancy dress costume shop, hire a pilot's
:19:46. > :19:50.outfit, realistic. Head to your local airport, sit in the bar and
:19:51. > :19:56.get completely wasted. All the people around you losing their
:19:57. > :20:08.minds! Where are you going? That is my one. I know a short cut, don't
:20:09. > :20:14.worry. Very good. You said you have a tendency to over share and you are
:20:15. > :20:18.indiscreet, which might be tricky with Nick and your parents in the
:20:19. > :20:24.front row. Any early apologies you would like to make now? I will start
:20:25. > :20:29.by apologising to everyone in the crowd. I do have a tendency to over
:20:30. > :20:35.share and overstepped the mark, which is why you want to see it
:20:36. > :20:40.live. Can we have an example? I normally over share, mess up if I go
:20:41. > :20:45.off at a tangent, comedy without a safety net. I say something I should
:20:46. > :20:50.not, but that is why it is great to watch people doing it live, because
:20:51. > :20:56.you see mistakes you would not see on a TV show. The lovely idea of a
:20:57. > :21:06.big performance and big crowds fits with this here because this is quite
:21:07. > :21:14.extraordinary. What was this? That is the boys from a League of their
:21:15. > :21:19.own. Jamie Redknapp broke a nail! He had to have an air ambulance and was
:21:20. > :21:23.in intensive care for six weeks. We did a road trip to America this
:21:24. > :21:30.year, sorry last year, it comes out this year later in the year. It was
:21:31. > :21:32.so much fun. Jamie Redknapp, I should apologise to him because
:21:33. > :21:39.there are jokes about him in the show. That is the apology done. The
:21:40. > :21:47.tour At Large will start tomorrow in Northampton before heading around
:21:48. > :21:51.the country. We enjoyed you playing Asterix. Thanks.
:21:52. > :21:54.A New Year is always a chance for a new you,
:21:55. > :21:57.and three of our One Show viewers have some very special reasons
:21:58. > :22:03.why their lives will be transformed in 2017.
:22:04. > :22:10.2017, my son is getting married. I thought it would be lovely if I
:22:11. > :22:18.could hold onto my husband and dance. About five years ago, I had
:22:19. > :22:23.just recovered from Hodgkin's lymphoma. I noticed things were
:22:24. > :22:30.happening to my legs and I could not walk properly. I basically do not
:22:31. > :22:39.work from the waist down. I learned that I can control the muscles
:22:40. > :22:45.myself, and I got to flicker to and I kept staring at the tail and
:22:46. > :22:51.suddenly it moved. And now I can walk with a walker. But one thing I
:22:52. > :22:59.miss more than anything else is being close to my husband. It is
:23:00. > :23:05.because of the height difference. We are always too busy. He is a man of
:23:06. > :23:10.few words but I could tell by his face he was as emotional about it as
:23:11. > :23:21.I would be and I imagine on the day it will be two people crying. 2017
:23:22. > :23:29.will be huge because I am going to RADA. Ever since a young age, I
:23:30. > :23:36.liked performing. I still do it now. I love entertaining children and
:23:37. > :23:42.seeing them laugh. I wrote to RADA at 11 years old saying can I learn
:23:43. > :23:47.how to act? They wrote back. They said they would be delighted to give
:23:48. > :23:53.me an audition when I was 16 years old. Happy birthday! My father died.
:23:54. > :24:01.My world turned upside down. It never happened. I was approached by
:24:02. > :24:06.an old acquaintance who said about the course in London and within two
:24:07. > :24:14.weeks I was in London at the audition, just like that. I did not
:24:15. > :24:18.get it. I was devastated. I thought, I am not giving up, I will have
:24:19. > :24:24.another go and the second time I went up, I got it. When I got to the
:24:25. > :24:31.steps of RADA, I thought, oh, my goodness. I am actually here after
:24:32. > :24:42.all these years. I am actually going to be living my life to the full. It
:24:43. > :24:47.will be wonderful. Douglas was born profoundly deaf and added to that,
:24:48. > :24:52.if that was not difficult enough, he was diagnosed with a condition that
:24:53. > :24:58.is kind of verbal dyslexia. Things like health and safety, because of
:24:59. > :25:03.his issues, he has not been able to land himself in a position. In 1970
:25:04. > :25:07.I sat on the near Father Christmas who asked what I wanted for
:25:08. > :25:18.Christmas and I said to him that it would be nice to have a new set of
:25:19. > :25:23.ears for my brother because is do not work. Now he has had a cochlear
:25:24. > :25:37.implant, which has opened up amazing things for him. I had my wish and it
:25:38. > :25:40.has come true. I heard the sea. He can start to hear things and
:25:41. > :25:45.hopefully he can progress into the job market and get a role he is
:25:46. > :25:57.happy with it. 2017, I would like a job. Thanks. Remarkable. Thanks you
:25:58. > :26:03.for sending in and sharing stories with us. The panel are back but in
:26:04. > :26:08.the meantime we have had responses from you at home. We heard from
:26:09. > :26:11.Angela in Scotland who predicts Donald Trump will resign before the
:26:12. > :26:17.end of the year and she will put money on it. Mark and Zoe in Lincoln
:26:18. > :26:31.predict the Queen will retire and Charles will take over. And Danny
:26:32. > :26:39.Dyer! Somebody who says interest rates might go up. Mark and Zoe
:26:40. > :26:48.think there will be a significant rise in electric and hybrid cars.
:26:49. > :26:52.2016 was the year of the controversial boss such as Sir
:26:53. > :26:59.Philip Green and Mike Ashley, how can employers be better in 2017? It
:27:00. > :27:04.will be a difficult year. The uncertainty makes it difficult. We
:27:05. > :27:10.can employ. I do not know how you feel about the media, they class
:27:11. > :27:14.business is one, bonuses, the scandal with the banks, retail, but
:27:15. > :27:18.small businesses, the majority are employed by small and medium
:27:19. > :27:24.businesses and we have the technology, we invest, we have the
:27:25. > :27:34.whole package. The media should be out there talking about us. SMEs. We
:27:35. > :27:39.can really move the economy on. James, as far as talking to
:27:40. > :27:47.politicians. I feel self-conscious. I want to make Jack's smile. This
:27:48. > :27:53.might do. I am doing my serious face! You will like this. What do
:27:54. > :28:01.you think politicians can do better? I think they should be more critical
:28:02. > :28:06.of people within their own party. One of the developments in the last
:28:07. > :28:10.12 months was Sarah Wollaston, chair of the Health Committee, a former
:28:11. > :28:14.GP, is starting to criticise the government health policy which in
:28:15. > :28:19.the absence of a powerful opposition, perhaps, the government
:28:20. > :28:22.needs to be scrutinised. And Conservative MPs doing it
:28:23. > :28:26.themselves. It would be nice to see less tribalism. The Labour Party
:28:27. > :28:33.have gone the other way, criticising each other. Are you happy with that?
:28:34. > :28:39.I think that the traditional party boundaries are blurring. You see
:28:40. > :28:46.critical voices within parties and the Labour Party are taking that to
:28:47. > :28:55.somewhere between total loyalty and Labour Party. Apart from us inviting
:28:56. > :29:03.you onto the One Show more, what can the media do? That was it. Doing
:29:04. > :29:08.films with Gyles Brandreth. The big danger with the media is drifting
:29:09. > :29:14.towards groupthink. You need outlying voices and people who will
:29:15. > :29:20.prod the establishment and status quo. I'm not saying it because James
:29:21. > :29:26.is here, but his thing is to be one of those prod in the ribs voices.
:29:27. > :29:31.The opposition's job, really? It should be, but that does not seem as
:29:32. > :29:37.if it will happen. It will sound like we planned it that journalists
:29:38. > :29:40.should be nicer to politicians. Not all politicians, goodness knows, I
:29:41. > :29:45.do not want to talk myself out of a job but there is no point in drawing
:29:46. > :29:49.blood when you could be shedding light on an issue when so many of us
:29:50. > :29:54.are obsessed with landing the knockout blow. This is nice, for
:29:55. > :30:02.2017, this is lovely. Are you enjoying this, Jack? Yes. It doesn't
:30:03. > :30:10.get you anywhere screaming at each other. It is nice to see the love.
:30:11. > :30:12.There are lots of big awards ceremonies coming up
:30:13. > :30:19.But surely none are as important to our day to day lives
:30:20. > :30:22.than the awards Arthur Smith attended, which help to flush out
:30:23. > :30:42.Yeah, yeah, you've got your showbiz awards with their glittery dresses
:30:43. > :30:53.and paparazzi and whatnot, but I would rather be here, the British
:30:54. > :30:57.Loo Awards! By my not brag about it but lesser-known industries have
:30:58. > :31:00.their own galas. Today in Solihull the best toilets in the country are
:31:01. > :31:05.being honoured and everyone here has the urge to win. How desperate are
:31:06. > :31:12.you? They're spread! We are always desperate! The categories range from
:31:13. > :31:18.best baby changing facilities to the most eco-friendly. We all breathe,
:31:19. > :31:21.we all drink, we all also need to go to the toilet. When we want to go,
:31:22. > :31:28.we want to go and we want somewhere nice and hygienic to go. I sneaked
:31:29. > :31:32.in to have a quick look at the so-called Toilet Oscars. Look at
:31:33. > :31:40.this one, this is the overall winner, the loo of the year award.
:31:41. > :31:45.Wow! That would look great on your mantelpiece, wouldn't it? What makes
:31:46. > :31:48.a winner? We went to see an inspector at work. Anthony is going
:31:49. > :31:54.to the hippodrome Theatre in Birmingham. And it is a serious
:31:55. > :32:00.business. Cubicle doors must be 70 centimetres wide, for larger people.
:32:01. > :32:07.The quality of the flush, the amount of loo roll, hot water temperature,
:32:08. > :32:13.soap dispensers, hit from dryers. There are 100 tick boxes and the
:32:14. > :32:17.ticks are coming. But Anthony has been disappointed too often. There
:32:18. > :32:20.are some really shocking toilet provisions, some for example don't
:32:21. > :32:25.have any toilet paper and you can't lock the doors, there is a terrible
:32:26. > :32:31.odour. Only a feud row fees from the 1300 entrants -- only a feud
:32:32. > :32:36.trophies for the 1300 entrants. This is a really prestigious prize, not
:32:37. > :32:42.for the people who make the toilets but the people who look after them.
:32:43. > :32:49.Last year's attendant was this man, who works for the contractor who
:32:50. > :32:59.look after the Hippodrome washrooms. Commitment is his middle name. I
:33:00. > :33:05.start work and I finish at eight o'clock -- I start work at eight
:33:06. > :33:10.o'clock and I finish at -- I start at 5am and I finish at eight
:33:11. > :33:19.o'clock. 15 hours! But I love doing it. The moment is coming. First it
:33:20. > :33:29.is certificates. Lots of winners. And I'm sure I saw Baba, he can't be
:33:30. > :33:34.expecting another win? Flushed with success, he did it again! But what
:33:35. > :33:42.he really wants back in his living room is the UK Trophy. Before the
:33:43. > :33:47.big prizes, a sort of toilet break. What's going on here? You guess the
:33:48. > :33:55.weight of the toilet rolls. I'm going to write down my guess. Thanks
:33:56. > :33:59.very much, hope you win! We've got a couple who are having a toilet
:34:00. > :34:04.themed wedding and even having a toilet themed cake. So many people
:34:05. > :34:09.are in or, that is a lovely toilet and it has been a pleasure to come
:34:10. > :34:13.to your retail Park. Back to business, Baba might have won the
:34:14. > :34:15.England award but now it's the big one, the trophy all attendance aim
:34:16. > :34:25.for. Who would have thought in the
:34:26. > :34:33.history of the Loo Awards, no one has ever won it twice. Then the
:34:34. > :34:40.award that everyone goes for. Poor old Heathrow sitting at the back.
:34:41. > :34:48.Next time I go to Gatwick I shall make a point of going into one of
:34:49. > :34:54.the loos and enjoying it! Please do! Well, no gold for me alas, but great
:34:55. > :35:00.news. Baba won again. Back to work for me.
:35:01. > :35:19.And guess what, everyone? He is with us tonight! So please welcome the
:35:20. > :35:31.winner, Baba Seckan! Baba! I mean, what is the secret? Well, apart from
:35:32. > :35:37.the training, the training I received, and in the right materials
:35:38. > :35:50.provided, it is the genuine passion and desire to provide the best
:35:51. > :35:54.high-quality clean and hygiene. We saw them there on the film,
:35:55. > :36:00.absolutely beautiful. Congratulations, Baba. And I love my
:36:01. > :36:07.job and I'm proud of it! Brilliant. APPLAUSE
:36:08. > :36:15.Thank you for coming. We love Baba, don't we? We love Baba! Have we --
:36:16. > :36:19.have you ever been asked to host Aranguiz that? I have actually heard
:36:20. > :36:25.of that awards and that is the holy Grail, that is the one we all want.
:36:26. > :36:31.I was asked to host the panel beater of the year. Halford 's as well when
:36:32. > :36:37.they present you with a drill at the end. Always handy! We have three
:36:38. > :36:52.other audience members over there who have won three prestigious
:36:53. > :36:54.industry awards. We want you to guess which award they won! Can we
:36:55. > :37:10.have the third contender please? We certainly can. Please welcome to
:37:11. > :37:17.the stage Kerry Beavis. Please get on with a ten second mime. OK, is it
:37:18. > :37:26.to do with food? No. Is it to do with anatomy? Yes! Mass large!
:37:27. > :37:31.Masses of the year? Well, a little bit more. Mass large of people of
:37:32. > :37:36.the year. Facial woman of the year! Wax of the
:37:37. > :37:59.year? , yes! -- the beauty therapist of
:38:00. > :38:03.the year. So, what do you do best and why are you better than everyone
:38:04. > :38:07.else? I tend to do a lot of mass argent facials and I just love what
:38:08. > :38:11.I do, I've got such a passion for it and I love it and I think that
:38:12. > :38:17.showed from the judges. I couldn't agree more. Ladies and gentlemen,
:38:18. > :38:23.Kerry Beavis! Are you ready for the next one, Jack? Yes, ready. Here we
:38:24. > :38:26.go. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dennis Hollingworth.
:38:27. > :38:32.APPLAUSE OK, Dennis. Ten second mime, stand
:38:33. > :38:45.by. Cigarette lighter? Whoa! Is that a
:38:46. > :38:54.mass large parlour again? No, it... It's quite hard, this one. It's
:38:55. > :38:58.domestic? Yes. Stubble doing that! Leaves, find another mime!
:38:59. > :39:06.Something to do with your house. Something that you do in your house.
:39:07. > :39:08.Ask him a question. Is it to do with heating? Is it the heating
:39:09. > :39:19.installer? CHEERING
:39:20. > :39:22.Yes! Heating installer of the year! Oh, Dennis. Tell me, is this all
:39:23. > :39:29.about the number that you put into a home?
:39:30. > :39:39.I'm sure business will be booming in 2017, congratulations.
:39:40. > :39:48.I am trying so hard to behave but you're making it really hard for me!
:39:49. > :39:57.Let's have the next mime. Are you ready to go? If you are, please
:39:58. > :40:10.welcome onto the stage David! OK, David. Whenever you're ready. Oh!
:40:11. > :40:23.He's... Do you do it outside? Yes. Is it gardening? No. Is it in a
:40:24. > :40:31.churchyard? Yes! It's Grave-digger of the Year!
:40:32. > :40:38.CHEERING Grave-digger of the Year! David,
:40:39. > :40:43.congratulations. Thank you. Is it all about how well you've dug the
:40:44. > :40:47.grave and how beautifully presented? You want to make sure it's big
:40:48. > :40:53.enough to start with! But no, it's just making sure that it is
:40:54. > :40:56.someone's final resting place and you've got to dress it nicely and
:40:57. > :41:03.generally try and do the best job you can. Wonderful. How many graves
:41:04. > :41:10.did you dig last year? About 320. I've got my mum here! Hello, mum.
:41:11. > :41:21.Good to see you! Seeded about 300! LAUGHTER
:41:22. > :41:30.APPLAUSE You take the trophy. There you are.
:41:31. > :41:42.Well done, everyone. LAUGHTER
:41:43. > :41:53.I did enjoy that! Oh! Now, in about 20 minutes, British country music
:41:54. > :41:59.band The Shires will be live outside. There they are, staying
:42:00. > :42:02.warm by the heater. Here we go, ladies and gentlemen. Let's all calm
:42:03. > :42:10.down and carry on. The second part of our one show guide to the year
:42:11. > :42:13.goes a little further into the future. This is the best One Show
:42:14. > :42:31.ever! So, what do you make of 2017 so far?
:42:32. > :42:37.Is it a B, a C or an A star? I'll take it from here, Gyles. The answer
:42:38. > :42:45.is none of the above, if you're taking your GCSEs in August, they
:42:46. > :42:50.will be graded between zero and nine -- between one and nine, replacing
:42:51. > :42:56.the old system. One star you won't want to miss is Usain Bolt, expected
:42:57. > :42:59.to run his final race at the IAAF Championships at the London Stadium.
:43:00. > :43:06.Also running this summer, German Chancellor Angela Merkel trying for
:43:07. > :43:11.her fourth term in charge of Europe's largest economy. Her
:43:12. > :43:16.popularity has suffered and she could be on shaky ground, as we
:43:17. > :43:20.might be if the controversial process of shale gas extraction also
:43:21. > :43:24.known as fracking goes ahead in Lancashire. While some say it could
:43:25. > :43:28.provide a vital boost to our post-Brexit economy, campaigners say
:43:29. > :43:34.it is unsafe, a case they will make at a public inquiry into fracking in
:43:35. > :43:42.Scotland. For the conspiracy theorists out there, 2017 sees the
:43:43. > :43:47.release of the JFK files, giving us all the information we need about
:43:48. > :43:50.who really shot the president in 1963. On the 1st of June it won't be
:43:51. > :43:54.20 years ago today but 50 years since the Beatles released their
:43:55. > :43:59.incredible Sergeant Pepper 's lonely hearts club band album. August 31
:44:00. > :44:06.will mark 20 years since Princess Diana died in Paris. The year ends
:44:07. > :44:12.on a scientific milestone. In Italy, the first ever full human head
:44:13. > :44:17.transplant, which, if you think about it, is also the world's first
:44:18. > :44:24.ever full human body transplant. 50 years after the first human heart
:44:25. > :44:28.transplant. Wherever Will science take us next? Possibly to a galaxy
:44:29. > :44:32.far, far away. The end of the year sees the release of Star Wars
:44:33. > :44:36.episode eight, with Carrie Fisher reprising her role as Princess Leia
:44:37. > :44:46.for the very last time. Before the show we asked you to come
:44:47. > :44:51.up with a headline you would like to see in a newspaper this year. James
:44:52. > :45:05.Cleverly. We will start with you. This is what you went for. That has
:45:06. > :45:17.taken the fun out of the room. Do mine! A slight change of gear. You
:45:18. > :45:24.think that will happen? I genuinely hope not but it worries me. You see
:45:25. > :45:29.headlines coming from across the Channel, some of the terrorist
:45:30. > :45:33.atrocities, and the way people react to situations like that can be
:45:34. > :45:40.unpredictable. We have the French elections and Marie Le Pen for the
:45:41. > :45:43.National Front is doing better than people expected. I do not think it
:45:44. > :45:50.will happen but there is a credible chance. How do you feel when people
:45:51. > :45:55.say if that happens, it will be a process that started with Brexit? I
:45:56. > :45:58.do not think it did, Brexit showed there was a disconnect between
:45:59. > :46:03.people like me in the political establishment and a lot of people
:46:04. > :46:07.and now we recognise that, we can do something about it. It always
:46:08. > :46:18.existed, we did not see it. This is yours. Do you hope that, or think
:46:19. > :46:23.that will happen? He's used to living in Trump Towers, maybe the
:46:24. > :46:32.White House will not be good enough. I am sure he will kick it out and
:46:33. > :46:39.make it look like Spearmint rhino. How will he be once he is in? Will
:46:40. > :46:47.he Halkett? We have seen him before, during, after it, now. Not many days
:46:48. > :46:53.to go. -- can he Halkett. He cannot get anybody to sing at the
:46:54. > :47:01.inauguration. Even Colonel Gaddafi had people singing at his birthday.
:47:02. > :47:05.And James, this is yours. After James' colleague Michael Gove
:47:06. > :47:12.decided the country had had enough of experts, but if you are going for
:47:13. > :47:22.an operation, pilots on aeroplanes, I think we are fond of experts.
:47:23. > :47:27.Experts did not predict the 2008 situation, they did not predict the
:47:28. > :47:31.election. Pollsters ask people what they will do and if they lied to
:47:32. > :47:37.them there is nothing the pollster can do about it. But they got close
:47:38. > :47:44.to Brexit and Trump, but everybody casts themselves as underdogs. This
:47:45. > :47:49.goes back to the point James was saying before the awards section, if
:47:50. > :47:56.people get into the habit of vilifying experts, you should not be
:47:57. > :48:01.surprised when people say they will not take these people'sviews. Our
:48:02. > :48:11.last experts. Mine are less serious. That's all right. Wouldn't we love
:48:12. > :48:19.to see that? Absolutely. Did everybody get his album for
:48:20. > :48:25.Christmas? With Alfie? Could he be a special guest on yours? I love
:48:26. > :48:31.Michael Ball. I have sung with him. A couple will take their camper van
:48:32. > :48:36.on their first holiday in six years. Charlie from Glasgow has a new Year
:48:37. > :48:42.resolution to become world champion of the world drug-free powerlifting
:48:43. > :48:48.association. Does that mean there is one that allows drugs? I think that
:48:49. > :48:54.was just to clarify. We need to talk about your period drama, Jack.
:48:55. > :49:00.Decline And Fall. You did this as a student and have read it before. Can
:49:01. > :49:07.you give us a summary. Of the book? It is the most complicated plot. It
:49:08. > :49:12.is amazing. It is a comedy period drama, definitely funny and anarchic
:49:13. > :49:26.and it has even on gorier, David Suchet. -- Eva Long
:49:27. > :49:36.-- Eva Longoria. What did you learn from David Suchet? He is amazing.
:49:37. > :49:41.One of my first jobs was as a runner for him, making tea and coffee. Did
:49:42. > :49:46.he remember? He did, he is an amazing man and great to see him
:49:47. > :49:52.doing something where he is funny because people associate him with
:49:53. > :50:00.Poirot and heavy plays, but he is wonderful in this. And Eva Longoria.
:50:01. > :50:03.Say no more. Beautiful. Radiant. Tonight, are you going to
:50:04. > :50:09.Northampton, ready for the show tomorrow? Are you running? Yes,
:50:10. > :50:17.running to Northampton! I will have a night out on the town with the
:50:18. > :50:25.lavatory attendant of the year. Baba. And everyone, we will have
:50:26. > :50:28.fun. Tomorrow I will go to Northampton. And the man who did the
:50:29. > :50:30.heating. And the grave-digger and his mother.
:50:31. > :50:34.A new year is always a chance to have a bit of a clear out
:50:35. > :50:36.and get rid of the clutter around your house.
:50:37. > :50:39.I think we have done 14 trips to the tip already.
:50:40. > :50:41.It's one of the busiest times of the year for recycling
:50:42. > :50:43.centres and in Belfast, Michael Douglas found
:50:44. > :50:49.people struggling to part with some very fond memories.
:50:50. > :50:59.Not the actor. Britain recycles almost half of its household waste,
:51:00. > :51:04.over 12 million tonnes per year, a lot of which goes to recycling
:51:05. > :51:09.centres like this one in Belfast. There is a human story behind
:51:10. > :51:12.everything we throw out. Stuart Bingham knows all too well the
:51:13. > :51:21.technology of tomorrow can be the junk of today. That is a fax machine
:51:22. > :51:27.that went out of favour in the dark ages! I bought this when I was
:51:28. > :51:34.running an insurance company 30 years ago. The fax machine is
:51:35. > :51:41.obsolete. A lot of people who used it have also become obsolete, become
:51:42. > :51:49.worthless. They have been replaced by computers. The amount of
:51:50. > :51:56.high-tech gear is dwarfed by the deluge of kids' stuff. I am bringing
:51:57. > :52:00.down old toys of my daughter. She is 14 going on 18 at the moment so this
:52:01. > :52:09.is not cool any more. We have brought down this car. My grandson
:52:10. > :52:13.played with it. We will have to get the new toys. I had a cry this
:52:14. > :52:20.morning, clearing out all the toys. New toys for old may please the
:52:21. > :52:26.kids, but what about parents like these? My baby boys have grown up.
:52:27. > :52:33.Those days are gone. They have moved to the stage where there are no ties
:52:34. > :52:39.any more. It is Xbox. Football. For their boys, it can be difficult
:52:40. > :52:45.giving up old playthings. But tough decisions have to be made. Shirts
:52:46. > :52:52.they have grown out of, but in good condition. Are we keeping this? Yes.
:52:53. > :53:05.We got this for Lucas, his first Christmas. But there is an emotional
:53:06. > :53:12.price to pay. Something seemingly straightforward as a clear out can
:53:13. > :53:21.stop make -- start making use think this way. Not everything is going.
:53:22. > :53:24.This is the boys' cot. We had a charity shop come and take some
:53:25. > :53:29.things but we could not let them take this. We do not expect another
:53:30. > :53:33.to come along but it has so many memories. We have got rid of
:53:34. > :53:39.everything else, this is something we have not been able to get rid off
:53:40. > :53:44.yet. Throwing away things from the past does not necessarily mean you
:53:45. > :53:48.are discarding the memories. Just making room for more. For me, those
:53:49. > :53:58.were the best days, they really were. But we have great days ahead.
:53:59. > :54:05.Yes, good memories, but making more, making more today and tomorrow.
:54:06. > :54:13.Another person recycling to make more for tomorrow is born-again
:54:14. > :54:18.Christian Gary Clark. What I am bringing down is from the church. I
:54:19. > :54:32.gave my life to Jesus Christ nine years ago and have never looked
:54:33. > :54:38.back. I recycle stuff. I was a painter and decorator -- I am. I saw
:54:39. > :54:43.something today I thought, that needs to go to the dump and on my
:54:44. > :54:47.way home I dropped it off. For Gary, there is a higher purpose to
:54:48. > :54:54.recycling. I think the Lord gave us the earth to look after. He does not
:54:55. > :54:59.want us to waste off and cause pollution. It is right that we get
:55:00. > :55:07.rid of rubbish properly. Christ has given me a purpose to my life. There
:55:08. > :55:20.are many reasons to recycle and many people from all walks of life can be
:55:21. > :55:25.found here, filling the skips. It is quite sad to see the skips
:55:26. > :55:29.filled with toys. We need to keep in mind a lot of people would be
:55:30. > :55:36.grateful for them. And those bikes. That is where you get a bike from.
:55:37. > :55:39.We will go down the panel with things he would not throw away. Baba
:55:40. > :55:47.will not throw away the trophy. James? I have a teddy bear that is a
:55:48. > :55:53.month older than me, currently my child's bedroom and will never be
:55:54. > :55:56.thrown away. I have a picture of my grandfather in his christening
:55:57. > :56:00.outfit which makes him look like the little girl in a dress. My
:56:01. > :56:04.grandmother gave me a panda bear and I put it into a yellow polo necked
:56:05. > :56:16.jumper and I will never throw it away. Jack? Waistcoat. -- this coat.
:56:17. > :56:19.I would never throw it away. Thanks to our guests.
:56:20. > :56:22.And Jack, whose new UK tour At Large starts tomorrow.
:56:23. > :56:24.Tomorrow the Hairy Bikers will be here.
:56:25. > :56:26.Now from their latest album My Universe, it's the Shires
:56:27. > :56:34.# I've been foolish I've been mistaken
:56:35. > :56:40.# I've been blinded, I've felt my heart breaking
:56:41. > :56:43.# I've seen lonely I've seen leaving
:56:44. > :56:50.# Felt like the only one believing in love
:56:51. > :56:53.# Yeah, I've tried, Love
:56:54. > :56:57.# I sang a thousand Hallelujahs
:56:58. > :57:05.# Told a million angels I was walking on water
:57:06. > :57:09.# They left heaven open So I walked through that door
:57:10. > :57:19.# The moment I saw you my heart sang Hallelujah,
:57:20. > :57:36.# I remember how your sweet smile
:57:37. > :57:42.# And how it drove me wild
:57:43. > :57:45.# I've found faith, a new religion
:57:46. > :57:52.# Meaning in living for your love
:57:53. > :57:57.# That's why, my love That's why
:57:58. > :58:02.# I sang a thousand Hallelujahs The moment I saw you
:58:03. > :58:06.# Told a million angels I was walking on water
