:00:20. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.
:00:26. > :00:29.Tonight find out why Gyles is holding his very own bed-in. It has
:00:29. > :00:34.something to do with John Lennon, two pairs of socks and an orange
:00:34. > :00:37.balloon. And our guest is a British actor whose about to star in the
:00:37. > :00:47.BBC's new Stephen Poliakoff drama. But we think he secretly wants to
:00:47. > :00:47.
:00:47. > :00:57.be a rock star. # I wish I could slay demons, but
:00:57. > :01:06.now that time has passed # Wish I could stay here...
:01:06. > :01:13.# I'm standing in the rain and... It's Anthony Head! You have
:01:13. > :01:18.certainly got the voice for it to be a rock star. That was from Buffy.
:01:18. > :01:22.You were in a band, weren't you? Back in the Eighties and I made a
:01:22. > :01:30.sensible decision to leave that behind me, and just get on with
:01:30. > :01:35.things. I get to sing every now and again. I love singing. But acting,
:01:35. > :01:41.you can get on with acting and just sort of improved and work on it.
:01:41. > :01:48.Your brother, Murray, he's a singer, isn't he? Yes, he is still
:01:48. > :01:53.recording. You do play a 1930s Simon Cowell in his latest drama
:01:54. > :02:00.which we will be talking about later. You don't sing in that?
:02:00. > :02:03.don't but Angel Coulby does. will talk about that later. A
:02:03. > :02:06.measles outbreak has just been declared in the North-East of
:02:06. > :02:09.England, and it's not the only one. The problems are being put down to
:02:09. > :02:12.the difficult choice parents, like Louise Minchin, had to make about
:02:12. > :02:18.the MMR vaccination jab over a decade ago.
:02:18. > :02:28.The vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella has been linked with autism.
:02:28. > :02:28.
:02:28. > :02:32.15 years ago, research linked the MMR to autism. Judgment day for Dr
:02:32. > :02:36.Andrew Wakefield to triggered one of the biggest health scares in a
:02:37. > :02:41.generation. Within six years, the research had been discredited but
:02:41. > :02:45.the doubt in many parents' minds meant by 2004, the take-up rate for
:02:46. > :02:49.the vaccine had dropped 10% which may not sound like a lot but it's
:02:49. > :02:54.now have any serious impact Nationwide. I remember the
:02:54. > :02:58.confusion really well because my daughter was to fire her MMR and no
:02:58. > :03:03.parent wants to put their child at risk. Eventually, after a lot of
:03:03. > :03:08.discussion be decided against it, and she had a single jab for
:03:08. > :03:12.measles, mumps and rubella. 15 years on, and confusion is having
:03:12. > :03:17.serious health consequences with more and more cases of measles been
:03:17. > :03:21.reported every week. On New year's Day this year, Jane became
:03:21. > :03:27.concerned with her 12-year-old son, who started to get sick. We thought
:03:27. > :03:30.he had tonsilitis, which he suffers worth. In the morning, his face and
:03:30. > :03:35.shoulders were completely covered with a rash. That's when I started
:03:35. > :03:42.to think there was something not right. He had measles, highly
:03:42. > :03:46.infectious, a viral illness which can be fatal. He was hallucinating
:03:46. > :03:53.that because of how high his temperature was. He couldn't open
:03:53. > :03:58.his eyes and take sips of water. By a was scared. I slept in bed with
:03:58. > :04:02.him for four days. Jane it was one of the people scared of the MMR
:04:02. > :04:07.vaccine by the controversy. When Jack was born and it came up for
:04:07. > :04:11.him to have his jabs, but was a lot going on in the papers and on TV
:04:11. > :04:16.about the side-effects of autism. And they made the decision for Jack
:04:16. > :04:22.not to have the immunisation. It's a decision I do regret now.
:04:22. > :04:27.Wholeheartedly. Jack recovered after eight days but is part of an
:04:27. > :04:30.outbreak of measles which has affected this area, with 40 cases
:04:30. > :04:35.confirmed so far, more than the whole of Lancashire at both
:04:35. > :04:39.previous year. It's a familiar story across England and Wales were
:04:39. > :04:49.the biggest outbreak in Liverpool with over 600 cases and a
:04:49. > :04:51.
:04:51. > :04:53.And because they are so concerned about this outbreak, the NHS and
:04:53. > :04:56.health protection agency have organised a series of sessions in
:04:56. > :05:01.schools like this one to immunise children who did not get the MMR
:05:01. > :05:06.when they were younger. According to our records, you need to have
:05:07. > :05:10.this done. The World Health Organisation target is for 95%
:05:10. > :05:14.coverage of the MMR vaccine. This would help protect the whole
:05:14. > :05:20.country against any measles outbreak as it would make it almost
:05:21. > :05:26.impossible for it to spread. By 2004, uptake of the vaccine had
:05:26. > :05:31.declined from 92% to below 80% meaning it's now much easier for
:05:31. > :05:36.outbreaks to occur. Before we have the vaccine, we saw 100 deaths each
:05:36. > :05:42.year. Because of vaccination, it's very rare. It's definitely not a
:05:43. > :05:46.mild disease. People still ask whether MMR is safe. Is it? Very
:05:46. > :05:51.safe. One of the most intensively researched vaccines we have,
:05:51. > :05:55.probably, and study after study, children have shown this is safe
:05:55. > :06:01.and effective. You seem to have pockets of outbreaks so why are you
:06:01. > :06:04.targeting those areas particularly? Unfortunate, it can spread from a
:06:04. > :06:08.teenage group into the young group, under one, who are too young to
:06:08. > :06:14.have received their MMR are but are at risk of the worst complications
:06:14. > :06:19.of measles. It's never too late to get the vaccine. They should visit
:06:19. > :06:23.their GP. One of those getting vaccinated today is Jack, although
:06:23. > :06:30.he's already had measles and couldn't catch it again, Jane is
:06:30. > :06:36.anxious his cupboard for mumps and rubella. But he is covered. I can
:06:36. > :06:40.understand why parents decide against the MMR at the time but the
:06:40. > :06:44.focus now is to contain this outbreak and stop measles becoming
:06:44. > :06:49.a nationwide problem again. wasn't that bad. It did not really
:06:49. > :06:53.hurt. If I had got him immunised, this wouldn't have happened. I
:06:53. > :06:58.would say, while its readily available now, if you haven't had
:06:58. > :07:06.your children vaccinated before, get them done. Dr Mark Porter is
:07:06. > :07:13.here. You would second that, would you? Yes, for people who are
:07:13. > :07:17.probably 25 and below, who have not been exposed to the virus, I was, I
:07:17. > :07:22.had all those disease as a child, don't just walk in the force of you
:07:22. > :07:26.need to arrange beforehand. Yes, get the appointment. They spoke
:07:26. > :07:31.about the north-west but where else are these outbreaks happening?
:07:31. > :07:39.There were 1,400 cases, the North West, 700. The south-east, another
:07:39. > :07:44.spot. That was 330 in London. And then the north-east, 50 cases up
:07:44. > :07:49.there and North Wales, 30 cases. Not a huge figures, but they are
:07:49. > :07:55.still there for some in the bad old days, there were 8,000 cases a year.
:07:55. > :08:00.Why are we seeing some areas more effective than others? It were ever
:08:00. > :08:04.a virus gets a foothold. There is a group of people who are not
:08:04. > :08:08.immunised, like Jack, and it's a hangover from the autism scare. A
:08:08. > :08:13.group of children, often older, in their early teens were not
:08:13. > :08:18.immunised and has enough for the virus to spread. 95% of the
:08:18. > :08:24.population was covered, the virus can spread. It is a two jab course.
:08:24. > :08:30.A Yes, the first four community and the second is to pick up a 10% who
:08:30. > :08:38.don't respond to the first. Children who does Tad one jab are
:08:38. > :08:44.there OK? We can't guarantee it. What about rubella and mumps?
:08:44. > :08:52.is the most common of them all. We had 50,000 cases in at 2005.
:08:52. > :08:57.Rubella is very rare. My sister and mother had it in their pregnancy.
:08:57. > :09:07.Caroline was born profoundly deaf. Measles, it's normally a self-
:09:07. > :09:08.
:09:08. > :09:11.limiting childhood illness. 1,500 cases in 2000, 100 children were
:09:11. > :09:19.admitted and of three died. Bear in mind, it's not always a minor
:09:19. > :09:22.disease. Thanks, Mark. With the space shuttle era over, the race is
:09:22. > :09:25.on to find the spacecraft of the future. And Britain has a chance of
:09:25. > :09:35.winning. Dr Maggie Aderin Pocock meets the Oxfordshire team who
:09:35. > :09:42.
:09:42. > :09:52.5, 4, 3, 2, one... Zero. Lift off! Up until now, this is what blasting
:09:52. > :09:58.
:09:58. > :10:03.But, in the future, blast-off may look a lot more like taking off.
:10:03. > :10:10.This is a space programme dreamt up by British engineers have. Hoping
:10:10. > :10:16.to revolutionise the way we get into orbit. This project has lofty
:10:16. > :10:21.ambitions. The idea behind it is to build a reusable spacecraft which
:10:21. > :10:27.can take off and land at a conventional runway. But to make
:10:27. > :10:29.this a reality, depends on the success of its engines. Most
:10:30. > :10:35.shuttles and rockets used a different fuel for commercial
:10:35. > :10:42.aircraft. It gives them the thrust to get into space. Rocket engines
:10:42. > :10:52.are usually fuelled by burning two elements, hydrogen and oxygen. They
:10:52. > :10:53.
:10:53. > :11:01.help rockets take-off with a bang. Hydrogen in the balloon is ignited
:11:01. > :11:06.with oxygen. This explosive combination make a thrust. The fuel
:11:06. > :11:10.required is heavy. Liquid oxygen makes up 80% of the weight of a
:11:10. > :11:17.spacecraft. If it was to take off from a runway, it needs to lighten
:11:17. > :11:22.the load. This engineer's solution is to design a space engine which
:11:22. > :11:26.can use oxygen from the atmosphere, just like a jet engine. The thing
:11:26. > :11:33.which is unique about this going into space, this engine, like a jet
:11:33. > :11:36.engine, breeds air. It uses the atmosphere to get to up to about
:11:36. > :11:43.five times the speed of sound. big complication over commercial
:11:43. > :11:48.jet is the spacecraft will be travelling much faster. There will
:11:48. > :11:58.enter the engine at enormous speed and needs to be slowed down. That
:11:58. > :11:58.
:11:58. > :12:02.Things in motion had energy -- heat. All that energy turns into heat and
:12:02. > :12:06.the temperature goes up to 1,000 degrees centigrade. It would get so
:12:06. > :12:12.hot it would melt the components. The key to making this work is to
:12:12. > :12:20.cool down the air. Absolutely. on earth do you do that from 1,000
:12:20. > :12:25.degrees? You use what is called a heat exchanger. I can show you the
:12:25. > :12:30.principle of how it works with this contraption. My hair dryer is
:12:30. > :12:35.blowing hot air at 70 degrees. To cool it down I'm passing it through
:12:35. > :12:39.a motorbike radiator filled with ice-cold water. As the air passes
:12:39. > :12:48.through the radiator, heat energy is transferred to the cold water.
:12:48. > :12:55.The cold water heats up and the air cools down. And it has worked. The
:12:55. > :12:59.radiator has cooled down the air from 17 to 20 degrees. Simple. The
:12:59. > :13:05.engine used to cool the air from 1,000 degrees Celsius to -140
:13:05. > :13:08.degrees, in 100ths of a second. It calls for a revolutionary heat
:13:08. > :13:14.exchanger. They don't want their competitors to know what they're
:13:14. > :13:18.doing, so they are running tests behind closed doors. Alan is
:13:18. > :13:23.letting us in on a few secrets. There's a huge amount of technology
:13:23. > :13:28.in a very, very small space. The it is forced over thousands of tiny
:13:28. > :13:36.tubes filled with a very cold gas. The mortar tubes, the greater the
:13:36. > :13:40.surface area created and it's all incredibly lightweight. This
:13:40. > :13:44.technology has the potential to radically change the space industry.
:13:44. > :13:49.All of a sudden it will be no more typical getting into orbit than it
:13:49. > :13:52.would be going to New York, for example, so that's really where the
:13:52. > :13:57.big change comes. Of course, if you can get into all but Wrigley,
:13:57. > :14:02.cheaply, reliably, that's the stepping-stone to go into the
:14:02. > :14:12.universe. I can't wait. The wait may not take long. The aim is to
:14:12. > :14:20.
:14:20. > :14:25.2020 does not seem that far away, does it? I was worried about the
:14:25. > :14:34.monkey that was sent up a little while back. He looked petrified,
:14:34. > :14:41.the little thing. Do we have to send monkeys up? But, Bruce willies
:14:41. > :14:45.is coming out? He is coming on the show on Monday night.$$NEWLINE,
:14:45. > :14:50.big night coming up, Dancing On The Edge, Anthony.
:14:50. > :14:58.We are all singing it. All aboard. So, give us an idea of
:14:59. > :15:02.what it is all about? It is a drama by Stephen Poliakoff. Set in the
:15:02. > :15:06.1930s, at a time of great excitement when they come out of
:15:06. > :15:13.the First World War, there was new entertainment, new writing, new
:15:13. > :15:23.music. Everything was exciting. Then they went into the Second
:15:23. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:29.World War. It is an extraordinary tumult yues -- tumult us time in
:15:29. > :15:39.our history it is about a black band leader. About his rise to fame
:15:39. > :15:39.
:15:39. > :15:45.it is based on Duke Eling tonne playing at the London Palladium. He
:15:45. > :15:50.was feted by high society. The British ar stock rasy and monarchy
:15:50. > :15:53.loved him. He was taken to great heights. This was the idea of what
:15:53. > :15:59.would happen if something went wrong and then how does society
:15:59. > :16:05.treat the person that they have made a star of. My character,
:16:05. > :16:11.Donaldson is like Simon Cowell in as much as he loves discovering new
:16:11. > :16:16.talent, raw talent, young talent. He helps the band. He help's
:16:16. > :16:21.Matthew's Good's character. He is a music writer. He discovered the
:16:21. > :16:26.band. He helps to introduce him to the right people and then gets his
:16:26. > :16:32.name in lights. It is all very polished. It is so well shot. Let's
:16:32. > :16:37.have a look. It is stunning.
:16:37. > :16:42.Six. That is out of the question. Three months or I find another band
:16:42. > :16:46.to take your place. Six months. will not do business like this.
:16:46. > :16:53.Come here to meet you, as I have. Something I rarely do. Three months
:16:53. > :16:59.is a.final offer. It is a very good offer. My advice is it consider it.
:16:59. > :17:06.Six months or we go to the Savoy. They will not take you, I tell you
:17:06. > :17:12.that now! How wonderful to see Mel Smith there? It is a great cast.
:17:12. > :17:17.They have John Goodman, they have Matthew Good and Angel Coulby.
:17:17. > :17:26.Yes, Guinevere. Who knew she could sing like that? I say to the band
:17:26. > :17:33.to get a singer, they got Angel. She has a beautiful voice.
:17:33. > :17:39.And Jack lien Bisset. A star cast. -- Jaqueline. Where are you
:17:39. > :17:44.watching this? I am going back to my hotel, but actually, my youngest
:17:44. > :17:50.daughter, Daisy is here. So she can come with me to watch it.
:17:50. > :17:55.Have you seen it? Well, a little. It can be an unnerving experience,
:17:55. > :18:00.but it is such a good watch. The first show is tonight for 90
:18:00. > :18:04.minutes, the second show is on tomorrow night for an hour. Then
:18:04. > :18:11.every Monday night, but it is a page-Turner, as they say.
:18:11. > :18:18.A super job. Right, we will watch it. Now, in the.winter of 1969 a
:18:18. > :18:22.very strange thing happened in a Suffolk village.
:18:22. > :18:26.It did. A very talked about councille arrived and it was a
:18:26. > :18:32.flying visit in many more ways than one.
:18:32. > :18:37.Here you may expect a Morris dancer in this traditional village. So
:18:37. > :18:44.imagine the surprise, when one of the world's most famous pop stars
:18:44. > :18:49.and his new Japanese wife pitched up here n on a cold day in December,
:18:49. > :18:52.1969. That pop star was John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono. At the time
:18:52. > :18:58.of the visit, the The Beatles had recorded their final tracks
:18:58. > :19:01.together. # Come together... # The released
:19:01. > :19:07.album, Abbey Road was at the top of the album charts, but John was
:19:07. > :19:13.entering a new era in his life. He had married Yoko Ono nine months
:19:13. > :19:18.earlier. Together they were embarking on an exciting journey of
:19:18. > :19:22.artistic experimentation. As two of the most famous people on
:19:23. > :19:31.the planet, their every move was documented. In this case by the BBC.
:19:31. > :19:36.In was on December the 5th, 1969 that the couple took to the snowy
:19:36. > :19:46.roads in a white Rolls-Royce. Eight months before, John and yokow had
:19:46. > :19:46.
:19:46. > :19:52.been involved in the infamous Amsterdam bed in for peace.
:19:52. > :20:02.In this very hotel room they stayed. They were filmed, once again,
:20:02. > :20:09.together in bed! Fortunately, I'm in love with you! Unfortunately,
:20:09. > :20:16.I'm in love with you, too! But in the end, I think you will agree.
:20:16. > :20:22.John and Yoko were in the area to make a short film, but few of the
:20:22. > :20:27.surprised villagers did not know what to make of their arrival,
:20:27. > :20:32.especially when they started to inflate a large balloon in the
:20:32. > :20:38.market square. There was a gas balloon taking off
:20:38. > :20:42.in the square over there. Then I noticed a limousine car
:20:42. > :20:45.coming into the square. People started getting out. One other
:20:45. > :20:47.person turned around and came towards me.
:20:47. > :20:55.I thought, he looks like John Lennon.
:20:55. > :21:02.Did you meet him? He happened to be Saturday Kitchen astic, so I did
:21:02. > :21:08.not speak to him. Then he walked to this window and then came out of a
:21:08. > :21:14.shop with two pairs of socks. He greeted me then walked back to
:21:14. > :21:17.the car. Then, I was talking to the local
:21:17. > :21:21.journalist. I was planning John what they were
:21:21. > :21:25.planning to be doing. He said not very much, but that they managed to
:21:25. > :21:28.flood the bathroom recently in the hotel it was like something from
:21:28. > :21:35.another planet when they were here and about it take off and disappear
:21:35. > :21:45.into the air. They were making a film featuring
:21:45. > :21:47.
:21:47. > :21:51.and directed by the couple. The film, and its message, were the
:21:51. > :21:56.details that have stuck in the minds of the local.
:21:56. > :22:06.Roger diabetican worked in a local barn.
:22:06. > :22:06.
:22:06. > :22:11.We had some scaffold up. John and Yoko was lifted in and out.
:22:11. > :22:16.But John and Yoko were not to take to the air. Although they were keen
:22:16. > :22:20.to make a film from a hot-air balloon. It seems that the
:22:20. > :22:26.experimental couple were not so keen to enjoy the flight.
:22:26. > :22:31.There were fire engines and police and a tanker full of hydrogen which
:22:31. > :22:41.we thought could blow up the village, but we did think that they
:22:41. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:54.were going up but they did not. The film received a limited release.
:22:54. > :22:56.
:22:56. > :23:04.It was a permanent record in a very unusual day in a very traditional
:23:04. > :23:11.English village, Lav, nham. -- Lavenham.
:23:11. > :23:16.We cannot convince you to come out of there, can we? No, I have been
:23:16. > :23:20.here at least a week. Loving it. John and Yoko were huge stars.
:23:20. > :23:25.Before the age of Twitter and Facebook, wherever they went this
:23:25. > :23:30.did not need to send messages out. People came to them. They were
:23:30. > :23:36.peaceniks, they believed in peace. John said if he had to abclone for
:23:36. > :23:41.peace he would be. -- be a clown.
:23:41. > :23:47.They planted acorns at Coventry Cathedral for peace. They planted
:23:47. > :23:55.the acorns and left a bench there. The acorns were stolen so John sent
:23:55. > :24:00.the shuefr around to collect the bench. -- choufr.
:24:00. > :24:05.They were into this. At -- the acorns were a big thing for them.
:24:05. > :24:10.They sent acorns to world leaders. Buckingham Palace replied. The
:24:10. > :24:16.Prime Minister of Canada, invited them to Ottawa to Canada for peace
:24:16. > :24:21.talks. The Prime Minister is the one
:24:21. > :24:26.without the hair. Speaking of hair, they shaved their
:24:26. > :24:32.hair off? The rumour was that they wanted a few days of peace to be
:24:32. > :24:37.themselves, unrecognisable, therefore unmolested, but what they
:24:37. > :24:42.did was to swap it with the bloodied shorts of Mohammed Ali,
:24:42. > :24:46.the world-famous boxer. He gave them their shorts, they gave him
:24:46. > :24:53.their hair it was all to be auctioned for peace. What were they
:24:53. > :24:58.going to do with it? It was to be auctioned for peace. As I am
:24:58. > :25:04.myself! That's four minutes you have been lying there like that but
:25:04. > :25:09.that is good? This is what Lennon did to huge effect. Of course, he
:25:10. > :25:17.had Yoko Ono at his side. Anthony seems to have abandoned me. What
:25:17. > :25:25.can you do?! OK. You can relax. It is very comfortable.
:25:25. > :25:29.Go and have a lie down, Anthony. Well the salmon fishing season is
:25:29. > :25:36.in full swing on the River Tay in Scotland, but as Martell Maxwell
:25:36. > :25:40.finds out, some of them may as well give up now trying to fish there.
:25:40. > :25:44.Angling is one of the UK's most popular past-times, but what may
:25:44. > :25:52.surprise you, some of the biggest salmon ever caught were caught by
:25:52. > :25:57.women. So I have come to one of the world's famous fishing vifrs in the
:25:57. > :26:02.-- rivers in the world. I have my rod and wellies.
:26:02. > :26:09.Today I have come to the official opening of the River Tay for the
:26:09. > :26:15.official opening of the salmon fishing season. There is where
:26:15. > :26:19.Georgina Ballentine landed the largest line-caught salmon in 1932.
:26:19. > :26:26.Women hold the records for catching the biggest salmon, why do you
:26:26. > :26:30.think that is? I think that women have the certain level of patience.
:26:30. > :26:39.Men exexpect to be good straight away. Women are willing to be
:26:39. > :26:47.taught and I think that they have great in due -- ininstitution.
:26:47. > :26:52.Wright is an ang er -- angler awarded an MBE for her services to
:26:52. > :26:57.fishing. Who better to get a tip from? Most big salmon caught are
:26:57. > :27:02.male or cock fish. Some stay is the smell of a woman's pheromones that
:27:02. > :27:07.attract them. This theory about the pheromones it was not made up by a
:27:07. > :27:10.fisherman making excuses for women being good it was by a scientist?
:27:10. > :27:16.It was, a professor much neurology in Glasgow.
:27:16. > :27:22.Have you heard the tales of men tying the flies with hair wife's
:27:22. > :27:26.hair? I have heard of it. I believe it works. I believe that ginger
:27:26. > :27:29.ones work best. We're in luck! I love it. Believe
:27:29. > :27:33.me, when that theory came out, people were trying everything.
:27:33. > :27:38.I have tried peing in rivers. That does not work.
:27:38. > :27:43.You have tried peing in rivers? have no idea what they have tried.
:27:43. > :27:50.So, clearly men are going to be doing this seriously if they are
:27:50. > :27:55.willing to tie a woman's hair to the end of their rod? They would.
:27:55. > :28:00.Maybe my fen mowns were having an off day but one person has had a
:28:00. > :28:06.good time today. I have not caught a fish but I am
:28:06. > :28:15.hooked! How many fishermen will take their wives fishing after that
:28:15. > :28:20.film? Look at this, 64 was the biggest salmon ever caught. This
:28:20. > :28:24.was the equivalent in weight in potatoes. Try to pick that up. This
:28:25. > :28:31.lady had that fish on there for nearly two hours.
:28:31. > :28:36.I should have had spinach for breakfast. I can just pick it up.
:28:36. > :28:40.Any way, how are the donkeys? donkeys are fine. I muck them out
:28:40. > :28:43.every morning. Good lad.
:28:43. > :28:47.We will leave it there. Anthony Head, thank you very much. Dancing
:28:47. > :28:57.On The Edge is on tonight, 9.00pm on BBC twofplt
