:00:15. > :00:16.Hello, and welcome to The One Show with Michelle Ackerley.

:00:17. > :00:21.And Matt Baker, who is very excited because later on we'll be

:00:22. > :00:27.talking to his mate, gymnastic superstar, Max Whitlock.

:00:28. > :00:38.But first, if talking was an Olympic sport,

:00:39. > :00:41.tonight's guest would be top of the podium every time,

:00:42. > :00:46.and to be honest, we'll be lucky to get a word in edgeways tonight.

:00:47. > :00:49.Please welcome the broadcasting legend and professional

:00:50. > :01:02.motor mouth that is - Danny Baker.

:01:03. > :01:07.I look so bald on television. People remembered when I used to have a

:01:08. > :01:09.full head of hair. Making you feel old isn't it.

:01:10. > :01:14.We're going to be talking to you later about your new stage show -

:01:15. > :01:22.I have become a baggy pants comic. It is right the show is meant to be

:01:23. > :01:28.90 minutes but people are having trouble shutting you up. Shocking.

:01:29. > :01:36.You could say the public can't get enough. There you go. I The first

:01:37. > :01:40.half of the show in Leeds is longer than 0 minutes it runs three hours

:01:41. > :01:45.without the interval but I have to say, people come out and they say,

:01:46. > :01:50.man alive it is like being lashed to the front of an old tea clipper

:01:51. > :01:55.going through a storm. I have been doing it 41 years, and if you can't

:01:56. > :02:00.get an evening, getting people rocking and rolling, you haven't

:02:01. > :02:09.been paying attention. That is very true. We will chat to you later on.

:02:10. > :02:12.Can you remember a time when you couldn't use the internet

:02:13. > :02:15.at home if someone in the house was on the phone -

:02:16. > :02:17.and when it took half a day to do something simple

:02:18. > :02:21.Well, believe it or not, some places in the UK

:02:22. > :02:38.Welcome to the village in North Wales. It has everything you would

:02:39. > :02:44.expect of a small coastal community, but, there is a problem. Recent

:02:45. > :02:49.Government figures have hone this maul rural village has the worst

:02:50. > :02:56.broadband speeds in Britain. Connection here in the shadow of

:02:57. > :03:02.Snowdonia isn't much better than at base camp at Mount Everest. Ofcom

:03:03. > :03:08.recommends the minimum speed is 10 megabits per second but here the

:03:09. > :03:12.speed of simple internet task was recorded at round 2 megabits per

:03:13. > :03:16.second. Five times slower than that that minimum. What impact is that

:03:17. > :03:22.having on the community. My first port of call is parents at the local

:03:23. > :03:25.school. How bad is broadband? It is like watching paint dry. You watch

:03:26. > :03:30.it going round. It similar possible you can't work with it. Things that

:03:31. > :03:33.people take for granted, who have got mobile phone signal, you can't

:03:34. > :03:37.do in this village. Trying to do anything with a smart TV, forget it,

:03:38. > :03:41.you have no chance. It isn't fast enough.

:03:42. > :03:49.Hello everybody. School itself is connected to

:03:50. > :03:53.superfast fibre optic broadband but sluggish broadband at home is

:03:54. > :03:56.preventing some pupils from completing their homework. Give us a

:03:57. > :04:03.noise that expressing how you feel about it? The internet is rubbish,

:04:04. > :04:08.we can't research stuff. It comes up with unable to connect. Then the

:04:09. > :04:15.circle goes round and round. Then it stops completely. And says it can't

:04:16. > :04:18.open, no Wi-Fi connected. How long does it take to do you homework?

:04:19. > :04:23.Hours and hours. But it is not just a problem in the

:04:24. > :04:27.village. The recent House of Commons report reveals that seven out of the

:04:28. > :04:33.top ten worst speeds were recorded right here in Wales.

:04:34. > :04:36.Thank you for coming. This businessman lives in the

:04:37. > :04:41.neighbouring village where he runs a website marketing holiday homes like

:04:42. > :04:47.this one. So what broadband speed can holiday-makers expect here?

:04:48. > :04:51.About five here at the moment. 5.77. And the Government says 10 is the

:04:52. > :04:56.minimum. Although five megabitings should be enough to browse the

:04:57. > :05:01.internet or send an e-mail he says speeds like this are not nearly

:05:02. > :05:07.enough to meet his business needs. I try to advertise holiday cot tags

:05:08. > :05:12.and we make video, and I stick those up on YouTube if I can. It can take

:05:13. > :05:17.six, seven hours to upload that. I pay for as good a service as we can

:05:18. > :05:23.get. We get about nine megas download. My competitors over the

:05:24. > :05:27.border, they have much better broadband speeds and they maybe able

:05:28. > :05:31.to upload half a dozen in that time. To find out why some residents

:05:32. > :05:37.aren't getting the recommended speeds, I have set up a meeting with

:05:38. > :05:40.alwin William, a director from BT responsible for infrastructure here,

:05:41. > :05:46.we are doing it over the internet. In order to ensure a connection BT

:05:47. > :05:50.have advised us to come to this farmhouse four miles outside of the

:05:51. > :05:55.village which has benefitted with superfast broadband.

:05:56. > :06:00.Can you explain why the people in the village and the surrounding area

:06:01. > :06:06.have such terrible broadband speeds? Well, actually they don't have

:06:07. > :06:10.terrible broadband speeds, they have access to probably the best

:06:11. > :06:14.broadband speeds across the UK, three-quarters of the residents of

:06:15. > :06:18.the village can today order a fibre service. What about those struggling

:06:19. > :06:22.with the standard speeds? We have kids in the school who can't do

:06:23. > :06:27.their homework, because the broadband is so slow. Only 21% of

:06:28. > :06:31.households in the village have taken up the fire brigade service. But

:06:32. > :06:37.they have to pay extra for that, and I mean I don't live in this area, I

:06:38. > :06:42.don't pay extra for mine but I get better speeds. It is up to the

:06:43. > :06:47.service provider what they charge for a broadband service over a fibre

:06:48. > :06:50.network, every household is going to have different needs, in terms of

:06:51. > :06:58.the consumption, what they connect to. It is your choice as a customer.

:06:59. > :07:02.So, BT says the best way to get faster broadband speeds is to

:07:03. > :07:07.upgrade to the fibre network. That is of little consolation to this man

:07:08. > :07:12.who says he is on the best package he can get. I know it is difficult

:07:13. > :07:14.to have broadband to roll it out to everything. It would be nice to be

:07:15. > :07:16.on a level playing field. Thank you. Thanks Alex and we're

:07:17. > :07:19.joined by another Alex - Alex Neill from consumer group

:07:20. > :07:26.Which. As far as worst areas are concerned,

:07:27. > :07:30.we heard seven in the top ten are in Wales, so what about the other

:07:31. > :07:37.three? Where are those? Poor people of Wales, the or three from in

:07:38. > :07:41.England Saffron Walden Ron, deson and Woucestershire. Millions of

:07:42. > :07:44.people said they are struggling with poor connection, drop out and slow

:07:45. > :07:48.speeds, is is a problem for a number of people. Not necessarily rural

:07:49. > :07:54.areas. Not necessarily. It could be urban areas as well. That is one the

:07:55. > :07:59.big issues here, lots of people are struggling with day-to-day activity,

:08:00. > :08:04.when we are being asked to go online more and more, banks are closing, we

:08:05. > :08:10.are forced to do things online more than we used to be. If you can't get

:08:11. > :08:15.online that is frustrating. Why have the government set the target at 10

:08:16. > :08:19.megabits per second? How far are we from that? The Government says

:08:20. > :08:26.everyone has a right to get it. Some places you will get more, with 10

:08:27. > :08:29.megabite, that means you can go online, do browsing, use online

:08:30. > :08:34.banking and stream and download films, the only problem if you have

:08:35. > :08:38.a busy household, lots of teenagers and mum and dad doing things at the

:08:39. > :08:43.same time, that is when things grind to a halt. So there are real

:08:44. > :08:46.problems with ten potentially, but for some people that would be a

:08:47. > :08:51.welcome addition to what they have got. For sure, and Which? Are

:08:52. > :08:54.campaigning for people who aren't really getting what they pay for, as

:08:55. > :09:01.far as the speed of their broadband is concerned. What tips have you got

:09:02. > :09:05.for those people? For many you are paying a price and not getting what

:09:06. > :09:09.you pay for. You need to check what speed you are getting, so if you go

:09:10. > :09:13.to the Which? Website you can use the tool. Then you seed to see what

:09:14. > :09:17.you were supposed to be getting. There are a few things you can do in

:09:18. > :09:23.your home to make sure you get better speeds. In your home, make

:09:24. > :09:28.sure that you have your Ruther outon show, they have not the most

:09:29. > :09:34.attractive things, but it affects the speed you get. Always keep it

:09:35. > :09:39.on. Your router is the one thing you must have on because that affected

:09:40. > :09:42.speeds down the line. Make sure that you get your broadband provider to

:09:43. > :09:47.give you the latest router, again they are quicker, and with your

:09:48. > :09:50.laptop or PC, have the latest software on there. Otherwise, once

:09:51. > :09:54.you have done that and you keep checking your speed. If you are not

:09:55. > :09:59.getting what you pay for, you need to get in touch with your provider.

:10:00. > :10:04.That woman on there, from, numbingly corporate woman saying it is up to

:10:05. > :10:08.the customer, there is no problem, if their office went off line for

:10:09. > :10:15.ten minutes they would be howling like timber Wolves, this these days

:10:16. > :10:18.a, broadband should be like electricity, imagine someone

:10:19. > :10:24.patronising, your TV goes off at 10.00, you should get a better

:10:25. > :10:28.package, we are hear for know. I wasn't engaged until you see someone

:10:29. > :10:31.saying it is your fault you are not getting good broadband, your lovely

:10:32. > :10:40.internet company, we are here for you. Profits. Profits. She is not

:10:41. > :10:44.here to defend herself. That is my answer. Thank you very much. For

:10:45. > :10:46.more information make sure you head to the website.

:10:47. > :10:49.Having to deal with unreliable broadband when your livelihood

:10:50. > :10:52.depends on it is an issue that would get most of us complaining.

:10:53. > :10:54.And no one likes complaining more than our original grumpy

:10:55. > :10:56.old man Arthur Smith - but he may have just

:10:57. > :11:15.We live in a time when the my nigh shy of life, a forgotten password.

:11:16. > :11:24.Unsolicited phone calls. Hello. Smith. No! Poorly designed

:11:25. > :11:29.biscuits. The phrase first world problems has

:11:30. > :11:32.become a shorthand for all our petty gripes and perhaps you think our

:11:33. > :11:37.generation has a monopoly on moaning. But, you would be wrong,

:11:38. > :11:41.because we have discovered the possible source for this river of

:11:42. > :11:49.modern misery. And this was the growners gospel.

:11:50. > :11:53.I have come to London's oldest coffee house to consult the miseries

:11:54. > :11:59.of human life, by James Beresford. Publish in 1806. I have have my

:12:00. > :12:05.hands on a rare and delicate first edition here. I better be generale.

:12:06. > :12:11.So, what were the trials and tribulations of Georgian society?

:12:12. > :12:16.Being compelled to hear bad grammar, bad emphasis etc from persons who

:12:17. > :12:22.ought to no much better, without the liberty of interfering. It is a

:12:23. > :12:27.first world problem, innet. I am wondering if our gripes have changed

:12:28. > :12:32.all that much. I am sure my friends on social media may have a thing or

:12:33. > :12:38.two to say. I should expect a deluge. ? While I am waiting I want

:12:39. > :12:45.to find out a bit more about James Beresford so I am visiting the

:12:46. > :12:52.city's oldest book shop to meet Professor Brian Maidman. Who was he?

:12:53. > :12:56.He was the re-rend Beresford. He worked for 20 odd years, he was a

:12:57. > :13:02.writer and parody is one of his big things. Did the book reflect its

:13:03. > :13:08.time as well. ? Yes, two ways of looking at London. Theatrical

:13:09. > :13:13.spectacle or nightmare dangerous haunt of thieves. One minute you are

:13:14. > :13:16.walking happily and next minute you have bumped into a scavenger. This

:13:17. > :13:21.is a classic example of misery, this is where a bull has got loose on the

:13:22. > :13:26.street. That notion where the streets can suddenly turn into

:13:27. > :13:32.somewhere dangerous. The misery is a work of Muir, very dry humour.

:13:33. > :13:37.Sitting on a chair on which you discover that honey has been spilled

:13:38. > :13:44.until, as rising to make your bow, you carry away the cushion.

:13:45. > :13:49.The miseries was a sensation, published in two languages with 11

:13:50. > :13:53.editions over a 20 year period. But there is something very modern and

:13:54. > :13:58.familiar about all this. They look a bit like tweets now, almost. They

:13:59. > :14:02.do, almost. In fact some of them fit within the 140 characters, I have

:14:03. > :14:07.noticed. I never thought of that. The torrent of social media comments

:14:08. > :14:12.streaming in with their untold first world misery could be from any page

:14:13. > :14:18.of Beresford's book. Getting caught in the rain and my hair looking like

:14:19. > :14:22.I have put my finger in a socket. As Beresford says losing your way on

:14:23. > :14:25.foot at night in a storm of wind and rain and this after leaving a merry

:14:26. > :14:30.fire side. But, tonight, I am going to put

:14:31. > :14:34.Beresford to the ultimate test, in the modern day bear baiting pit,

:14:35. > :14:39.that is stand up comedy. On entering the room to join an

:14:40. > :14:43.evening party composed of remarkably grave strict and precise persons,

:14:44. > :14:48.suddenly finding out you are drunk. And what is worse, still, that the

:14:49. > :14:52.company is shared with you in this discovery.

:14:53. > :14:57.It might be 200 year old material but it still gets a laugh Going out

:14:58. > :15:04.of London, your carriage met and blockaded on the road by gangs of

:15:05. > :15:09.the carrion and Alf of the human species, swarming home, in savage

:15:10. > :15:19.jollity from a bull baiting boxing match, or an execution.

:15:20. > :15:25.Well, James Beresford has taught me that times change, clothes change,

:15:26. > :15:30.culture changes, but, human beings never really tire of moaning about

:15:31. > :15:39.stuff. And frankly, I've had enough now, that's your lot. Good night.

:15:40. > :15:47.That broadband speed thing has got people talking. Lots of people

:15:48. > :15:51.saying they get less than two. If you do have problems, get in touch

:15:52. > :15:56.with your provider. That is always a joy! That will only take you two

:15:57. > :16:03.days for you to get through to someone who will say it is your

:16:04. > :16:08.fault. What else gets your goat? I am a Pollyanna. I think everything

:16:09. > :16:15.is for the best. I mean it. I am not like that. I don't like the phrase,

:16:16. > :16:20.ahead of their time. That is the arrogance of chronology. If you

:16:21. > :16:25.watch an old film, and people say it was such ahead of its time, that

:16:26. > :16:29.this just to flatter us now. In fact, a lot of those old films would

:16:30. > :16:33.not get released today but I hate that phrase. It means we are clever

:16:34. > :16:42.enough to get it now but back in the past they were not. That is

:16:43. > :16:48.interesting. Your life story was turned into the show Cradle To The

:16:49. > :16:54.Grave but now you are during a stage show, you have described as radio

:16:55. > :16:58.without the radio. I had no idea what this was going to be. People

:16:59. > :17:05.made up their minds about me a long time ago. If I was run over by a

:17:06. > :17:10.steam roller, people would say, Daz man dies. I have been a writer a

:17:11. > :17:15.long time, I have been doing this 41 times. If you cannot get a show out

:17:16. > :17:19.of that... I am trying to scale things down and we began in Leeds in

:17:20. > :17:25.February and I thought, after 41 years, I am one of the few people I

:17:26. > :17:29.think, apart from Griff Rhys-Jones who has worked with different,

:17:30. > :18:01.whether it is Kenneth Williams, Tommy

:18:02. > :18:05.Cooper, Frankie Howard, Spike Milligan, then through the punk rock

:18:06. > :18:07.years, and was working with the Clash... You have some amazing

:18:08. > :18:10.stories. The plan was to leap through things and the one thing I

:18:11. > :18:12.hear, we did not know it was going to be live, it is a whirlwind.

:18:13. > :18:16.Instead of it being about the books and the TV series, at the end of the

:18:17. > :18:19.night, it is a three hour show. It is powerful. At the end, I have not

:18:20. > :18:22.even left school yet! There are other things in it. Already they are

:18:23. > :18:25.booking next year. That is fine, but the plan was, that this was going to

:18:26. > :18:28.be a few dates to say farewell. I am 60 in June. You are showing no signs

:18:29. > :18:34.of stopping. If my wife was watching, yes it is! This show has

:18:35. > :18:42.come as the biggest surprise, because we started in Leeds, going

:18:43. > :18:46.back to Yorkshire, I think people need a warm up. It surprised me and

:18:47. > :18:50.surprised everyone else, because having done everything from adverts

:18:51. > :18:54.to talk shows, to writing, I have written for every comedian out

:18:55. > :19:00.there, when I walked out in Leeds, I did not know what I was going to.

:19:01. > :19:04.Most of the show is very different, because on the night, I have a

:19:05. > :19:11.licence to go wherever I like. It is an intimate experience. A lot of

:19:12. > :19:15.comedians have come to see it and say, why do not save some of that

:19:16. > :19:20.stuff? You cannot help it, it is whether I am telling stories about

:19:21. > :19:25.my father or Spike Milligan or Peter Kay, they just, and I hope, all I

:19:26. > :19:29.want to do is make people go out there and not learnt a damping.

:19:30. > :19:38.There is no message, you come out and get on with our real thing. Are

:19:39. > :19:43.you knackered? I do for days on and three days of, by the end, my voice

:19:44. > :19:48.is gone. You are entitled to, too many people, and you know, seeing

:19:49. > :19:56.people on the sofa, they think their duty is to appear, not work. It is

:19:57. > :20:00.not enough, we know who you are, do something! Me and the audience enter

:20:01. > :20:06.a packed, I will keep going. It is not like Ken Dodd. Limmy put it

:20:07. > :20:11.another way, it is like Ken Dodd. I am having more fun than I am

:20:12. > :20:20.entitled to and a Swiss Army knife of a career, these dates have been

:20:21. > :20:24.added. It has sold out. Every night, it is great. I am not a stand-up and

:20:25. > :20:29.it is not quite stand-up, but neither is it reminiscing. We have

:20:30. > :20:36.not recorded any of it yet, it is relentlessly upbeat. I know you have

:20:37. > :20:41.got to move on, it started from one thought. Being 41 years and having

:20:42. > :20:46.been through every kind of show business, I have done this before,

:20:47. > :20:56.but ask me if I have met Madonna? I don't know, I think so. Ask me if I

:20:57. > :20:59.have met Kenny West? I think so. Have you met Max Whitlock? He is

:21:00. > :21:07.coming on very shortly and hopefully we will have time to speak to him!

:21:08. > :21:09.Going around the UK until the end of the month, Cradle To The Stage.

:21:10. > :21:11.Danny's sitcom is called Cradle to the Grave,

:21:12. > :21:14.but thankfully he hasn't made it to the grave just yet.

:21:15. > :21:16.Unlike our One Show wildlife photographer Richard Taylor Jones -

:21:17. > :21:21.but don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.

:21:22. > :21:32.It is quite spectacular. Ask my wife and she will tell you I have dug my

:21:33. > :21:37.own grave more times than I care to mention, but today, I am digging a

:21:38. > :21:43.grave with a very specific purpose in mind. To film one of winter's

:21:44. > :21:47.most fabulous wildlife spectacles. On the wash pastry in Norfolk you

:21:48. > :21:54.can find a wading bird that spends winters here. Few sites can equal

:21:55. > :21:59.this as thousands of them fly together, but one enormous creature

:22:00. > :22:02.in the air. As impressive as it can be, watching those birds out there,

:22:03. > :22:07.it is not all I'm here to see, because when there is a really high

:22:08. > :22:15.tide, they do something rather special. Jim Scott is from the RSPB

:22:16. > :22:20.based here. All these wading birds are using the mudflats to feed on.

:22:21. > :22:23.As you get to the high side, it covers the ground is forcing the

:22:24. > :22:28.birds to leave those areas, the flats are completely covered. They

:22:29. > :22:33.come, over our heads and sometimes there are thousands behind us. It is

:22:34. > :22:38.here, in this gravel pit and on these islands were the knot will

:22:39. > :22:42.stay until the tide turned. It is not very big for the tens of

:22:43. > :22:46.thousands of bird you're talking about. The knot in particular love

:22:47. > :22:52.to pack in these dense flocks and this one eyelid can hold up to

:22:53. > :22:56.20,000 birds. An amazing spectacle. To capture the spectacle, I want to

:22:57. > :23:00.get as low as I can so I am on the same level of them. I will need to

:23:01. > :23:06.be hidden, so as not to spook them, which is why I am digging. Luckily

:23:07. > :23:11.for me, the RSPB already have a grave here in situ and all I need to

:23:12. > :23:15.do is add some finishing touches. High tide occurs just after dawn

:23:16. > :23:23.tomorrow, so in order to catch the birds, I have got an early start. It

:23:24. > :23:27.is about five o'clock in the morning and the knot are out there on the as

:23:28. > :23:31.tree seeding which means that I can go and get myself into position

:23:32. > :23:36.without disturbing them. I am going on. I will see you tomorrow. Once I

:23:37. > :23:40.am in my grave, I just have a cold and dark and wait for the birds to

:23:41. > :23:44.start coming in. Wheels have a second camera further away which can

:23:45. > :23:49.pinpoint my position. At the moment, it is difficult to see anything. I

:23:50. > :23:56.can definitely hear that. I think the birds are coming into land now.

:23:57. > :24:04.As the sun rises, I see the mass of knot arriving, being pushed here by

:24:05. > :24:10.the high tide. I am blown away. There are tens of thousands of

:24:11. > :24:20.birds, just metres away from me. They are also on top and around my

:24:21. > :24:26.grave. Despite the island in front of me looking completely filled, the

:24:27. > :24:30.knot continue to arrive, packing themselves in in large groups as a

:24:31. > :24:34.way of protection from predators. From my position, this gives me a

:24:35. > :24:40.glimpse into that world. It just takes one bird to suddenly lift up

:24:41. > :24:48.its head in fright and the others, all react, it is like a wave passing

:24:49. > :24:52.through the flock and then some of them set off, left, others set off

:24:53. > :24:57.right and some state stationary in the middle. It is a mesmerising

:24:58. > :25:01.thing to watch. Once they've finished jostling for position, it

:25:02. > :25:04.is time for them to grab some sleep before the opportunity to feed

:25:05. > :25:10.again, but the spectacle is not over yet, because as the tide turns...

:25:11. > :25:14.There they go, as soon as one bird decided it was time to be off, the

:25:15. > :25:19.others just seem to follow in a domino effect and with a rush of

:25:20. > :25:25.bodies and feathers, pretty much all the knot have disappeared back off

:25:26. > :25:31.out into the history. For such a small bird, the knot certainly have

:25:32. > :25:35.to put on a magnificent display. I can comfortably or should I say I'm

:25:36. > :25:40.comfortably say that that is one of the most incredible things I have

:25:41. > :25:44.ever done. Being that close, to that many birds, I have near -- never

:25:45. > :25:48.experienced anything like it. From a spectacular flock of birds

:25:49. > :26:04.to a man who was flying high CHEERING AND APPLAUSE. Good to see

:26:05. > :26:07.you. How are things? I am good. Let's just remind everyone what you

:26:08. > :26:12.got up to in Brazil and if you turn right, we will make our way over to

:26:13. > :26:19.the sofa. Applause -- APPLAUSE. . He just needs to land this one. Up

:26:20. > :26:21.high. Good twisting. Fabulous landing. He floated his way through

:26:22. > :26:38.that routine. We now have a double Olympic

:26:39. > :26:50.champion in gymnastics. APPLAUSE. And now, seeing stars. In

:26:51. > :26:53.a while. Max, always good to see you, I will never forget that double

:26:54. > :27:01.Olympic gold, it happened within about two hours of each other. It

:27:02. > :27:07.was crazy. I still feel surreal. It is a weird feeling, to feel it is

:27:08. > :27:11.done is crazy. And an MBA as well? That was in February. Yes. We have a

:27:12. > :27:20.picture of you meeting the Queen, what was that like? She said to me,

:27:21. > :27:23.I love gymnastics, everything you do looks impossible, which I thought

:27:24. > :27:32.was pretty cool. And then she spoke about the rise of gymnastics. It was

:27:33. > :27:36.nice. A nerve-wracking day. Brilliant. You are taking a break at

:27:37. > :27:39.the moment, we know that you are working on some new routines but you

:27:40. > :27:44.are taking part in the National Lottery Awards, tell us a little bit

:27:45. > :27:48.more? It is celebrating the unsung heroes, the people who do not get

:27:49. > :27:53.recognised, who really deserve our recognition, sometimes working

:27:54. > :27:55.behind-the-scenes and it is basically urging people to nominate

:27:56. > :27:58.now. They have got until midnight on Friday to nominate for the awards

:27:59. > :28:06.for their favourite project in the UK. How can people get involved?

:28:07. > :28:10.They can go online. They can do it by phone, on Twitter, they have got

:28:11. > :28:15.to nominate their favourite UK project to be of a chance to win.

:28:16. > :28:18.There was a wonderful example of the special achievement award last year.

:28:19. > :28:23.Glenn and Yvonne, I have the moment were you give them their award, tell

:28:24. > :28:28.us about them. There is a gymnastic connection. What they have created

:28:29. > :28:30.is incredible and there is a gymnastic connection. What they have

:28:31. > :28:33.created is incredible and their story was what was unbelievable

:28:34. > :28:37.about it. They sold their house to keep the local gym going. They lived

:28:38. > :28:41.in the gym to keep it going. The National Lottery jumped on board,

:28:42. > :28:44.help them out and now it is a gym with thousands of members. It must

:28:45. > :28:47.have been amazing for you to go there and completely surprised them.

:28:48. > :28:55.They had no idea you were coming. It was a good day, a good surprise and

:28:56. > :28:58.an honour for me to do it. They are into night.

:28:59. > :29:05.APPLAUSE. What did it mean to you guys? It was special. As Mark said,

:29:06. > :29:10.each year after we had been in the gym, we had been there since 2012,

:29:11. > :29:14.the lottery asked of it would be OK to come and do some filming and I

:29:15. > :29:18.thought they were just doing filming and the day rolled on and at one

:29:19. > :29:22.stage, I turned to Yvonne and said what is the time and he said was

:29:23. > :29:25.half past five. Most of the gymnasts go at half past four and I wonder

:29:26. > :29:28.what the kids were still doing there and the moment I said that, in walks

:29:29. > :29:36.Max Robbie Ward. APPLAUSE. You have got until

:29:37. > :29:40.midnight this Friday to nominate a foreigner -- lottery fund a project.

:29:41. > :29:45.You can catch Danny's Cradle to the Stage tour until

:29:46. > :29:51.Anne Reid, Chris Packham and Rylan Clarke will be joining us

:29:52. > :29:55.on the sofa and we have music from Imelda May.
