Halo and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones.

:00:13.:00:15.

And halo to you too, Matt Baker!

:00:16.:00:18.

Tonight, in honour of one of our guests we are handing out the halos.

:00:19.:00:22.

We're giving one to a singer with a heavenly voice.

:00:23.:00:29.

It's Lianne La Havas, who'll be chatting and singing live

:00:30.:00:32.

She will be talking about her friend Prince.

:00:33.:00:40.

of the smallest and most intricate art you'll ever see.

:00:41.:00:46.

In fact, some of it is so small you can only view it

:00:47.:00:49.

All that to come - plus elephants, Einstein

:00:50.:00:52.

But, Matt - the guest who has inspired all

:00:53.:00:57.

this halo business - where is he?

:00:58.:01:00.

Don't worry, Al - he's on his way and is even giving a lift

:01:01.:01:03.

In the driving seat - it's the suave, sophisticated star

:01:04.:01:24.

of the classic 70s series Return of the Saint.

:01:25.:01:28.

And with him, the documentary maker who has met both saints and sinners

:01:29.:01:32.

in his quest to bring us the best stories from around the globe.

:01:33.:01:36.

Welcome, chaps. Welcome to the One Show. Have a seat. There you are.

:01:37.:01:58.

You were just driving in, you didn't realise that we have actually given

:01:59.:02:05.

notes and halos already this evening. You can see yours, it is

:02:06.:02:12.

behind you. You are wearing it beautifully. We might leave that on

:02:13.:02:18.

for the whole show. We Robert Lee won't. I think somebody's arm will

:02:19.:02:27.

get sore! You came in the original car from Return of the Saint. You

:02:28.:02:29.

have had problems with it this afternoon? My friend Michael

:02:30.:02:35.

discovered it in a barn in the Shetland Islands and has done a

:02:36.:02:38.

complete restoration. He said he drove it too fast and has done

:02:39.:02:41.

something terrible to it so it is no longer working, but it will again.

:02:42.:02:46.

Thy goodness we have a wonderful special effect steam, you would

:02:47.:02:53.

never have known! -- thank goodness we have a wonderful special effects

:02:54.:03:05.

team. There you go! Well done! You were a fan of the Saint? Eight is

:03:06.:03:11.

wonderful, my 70s childhood dream has been fulfilled. Now you will

:03:12.:03:15.

tell me that you were three! Five! We want you to nominate your own

:03:16.:03:21.

personal saints tonight. Someone who has gone

:03:22.:03:23.

above and beyond to help Send in your photos -

:03:24.:03:25.

tell us why they're a saint and we'll hand out some

:03:26.:03:31.

more halos later. We have got tonnes of them! You

:03:32.:03:40.

might well be one of those heading to the ballot box tomorrow to vote

:03:41.:03:44.

in a wealth of elections all over the UK. On the 23rd of June, no

:03:45.:03:50.

doubt you will be back to vote in the EU referendum. The subject has

:03:51.:03:53.

split opinion, in some cases, even within families.

:03:54.:03:59.

Brothers Nigel and Ian Baxter from Nottingham both followed their

:04:00.:04:02.

father into the freight industry and set up firms just across the road

:04:03.:04:07.

from each other. For the past 21 years, the siblings have been united

:04:08.:04:12.

in their approach to business. But now? For the first time, they

:04:13.:04:19.

are butting heads. It is all over the EU referendum and weather we

:04:20.:04:26.

should Leave or Remain. Who better to sorted this family

:04:27.:04:35.

feud? Me, of course! -- to sort out. We need your assistance. That is a

:04:36.:04:43.

big 10/4, what is your 20? I am on my way, put your pedal to the metal!

:04:44.:04:51.

I am doing it, man! Looks like we have a convoy!

:04:52.:04:56.

The brothers have taken over their local truckstop cafe today. They

:04:57.:05:00.

will both try to persuade passing drivers to vote their way in the

:05:01.:05:04.

referendum. I have come along to make sure things do not get messy.

:05:05.:05:09.

Why do you want to stay in? Fundamentally, the EU is a single

:05:10.:05:16.

free market of 500 million people, hugely important for trade. If we

:05:17.:05:20.

Leave, trade will be more difficult and uncertain, it will affect jobs

:05:21.:05:25.

and investment. Why do you want is to get out? We need to take back

:05:26.:05:30.

sovereignty of the UK Government, deal with the reams of legislation

:05:31.:05:35.

that have affected us. We will have the opportunity to trade properly

:05:36.:05:38.

with the rest of the world, take agreements and bring back control to

:05:39.:05:43.

the UK. The passionate pie dish out opposing views to the diners. A key

:05:44.:05:49.

topic for both its free trade in the single market. Ian's freight company

:05:50.:05:53.

manages the movement of goods across the EU. The process of exporting

:05:54.:05:58.

would be made more difficult if we leave. There would be customs

:05:59.:06:03.

clearance, there may be tariffs, documentation. That is difficult for

:06:04.:06:07.

British companies, especially small businesses. But that he would still

:06:08.:06:11.

want to trade with us, we are a massive customer for their goods? --

:06:12.:06:17.

but the EU would? But if it is easier for a car manufacturer to

:06:18.:06:21.

locate it is business inside the single market rather than outside,

:06:22.:06:25.

in the future I think that is the choice they will make. Big Brother

:06:26.:06:31.

Nigel's truck repair and servicing business deals with manufacturers in

:06:32.:06:35.

France, but he believes that trading will not be affected if we've vote

:06:36.:06:40.

Leave. I can't imagine a situation where we can continue to have a

:06:41.:06:43.

sensible trading well Asian ship. It is in that interest to do an

:06:44.:06:52.

arrangement with us. They are selling is virtually double what we

:06:53.:06:58.

export. Why is it better to be Out? We can open up trading agreements to

:06:59.:07:02.

the rest of the world, we have been hamstrung by the EU, which has

:07:03.:07:06.

failed in many cases to make trading agreements. The brothers have

:07:07.:07:09.

failed in many cases to make trading hour to impress, to which side of

:07:10.:07:13.

the table to these people sit on? We should stay on, safety in numbers,

:07:14.:07:17.

if you pull out you are on your own. Out. I could probably work a few

:07:18.:07:23.

more hours each week instead of Europe telling me I can only drive

:07:24.:07:28.

for nine hours of the day. I am. Anyon, it

:07:29.:07:30.

for nine hours of the day. I am. anyway. I think we should come out,

:07:31.:07:34.

people will not be able to anyway. I think we should come out,

:07:35.:07:41.

It seems the drivers are as divided as the brothers. Can Ian and Nigel

:07:42.:07:45.

see eye to eye on any of the issues surrounding the EU?

:07:46.:07:49.

see eye to eye on any of the issues membership of the EU is good value

:07:50.:07:54.

for money? Certainly not, we sent ?350 million a week to Brussels and

:07:55.:07:58.

we get roughly half of that back, we could have much better distribution

:07:59.:08:02.

of that money while saving ourselves. At Norway and Switzerland

:08:03.:08:09.

paid more in per capita than the UK does for full membership when they

:08:10.:08:15.

only have partial. They don't get a say over the rules. The cost is out

:08:16.:08:20.

of control, it is escalating, if we vote to Remain we can look forward

:08:21.:08:26.

to further escalation. We will have to contribute, even if we Leave, as

:08:27.:08:30.

part of negotiations around trade, so we will enter with a similar

:08:31.:08:34.

bill. With the diner drivers as split as the brothers on which

:08:35.:08:38.

bill. With the diner drivers as the referendum should go on June 23,

:08:39.:08:40.

bill. With the diner drivers as I reckon there was only

:08:41.:08:45.

bill. With the diner drivers as settle this. A good, armed -- good,

:08:46.:08:47.

old-fashioned arm wrestle! It is too host to call.

:08:48.:08:55.

-- too close. They are still going. You have to sort this out by the

:08:56.:09:01.

23rd of June, but we will leave you to it for now! Competitive.

:09:02.:09:06.

Epicentre of the studio is our very own Mr Referendum, Chris Mason. --

:09:07.:09:13.

at the centre of the studio. A month or so ago you

:09:14.:09:17.

at the centre of the studio. A month referendum out of it, how will you

:09:18.:09:19.

display your impartiality this evening? Starting with the socks, on

:09:20.:09:26.

the left but we have a union flag, strict BBC impartiality, so on the

:09:27.:09:32.

other is an EU flag. Then there is mai tai, 12 stars, normally on the

:09:33.:09:37.

EU flag, so we've have five hole once in two halves, six. But the new

:09:38.:09:45.

addition to the wardrobe, no halo for me, but a bowler hat. Strict BBC

:09:46.:09:51.

impartiality, the paint has just about dried! ABI should wear this on

:09:52.:09:59.

the news as well! We look forward to the next edition. -- maybe I should

:10:00.:10:04.

wear this. How do you think the brothers put forward their

:10:05.:10:08.

arguments? They were quite strong? Bye-bye strongly held views, it is

:10:09.:10:11.

an insight into the conversations people are having -- really strongly

:10:12.:10:19.

held views, it is an insight into the conversations people are having

:10:20.:10:22.

when they are thinking about it. I cannot work out whether to keep this

:10:23.:10:26.

on or take it off. I believe it for now. Part of it is the business

:10:27.:10:31.

around facts. Most people come to me and say what I want is facts, juicy,

:10:32.:10:37.

hard facts to make up my mind. Then you go the website of the two

:10:38.:10:44.

campaigns, in the bin campaign it says 3 million jobs are connected

:10:45.:10:47.

with trade with the EU. That could be quite a powerful argument. Then

:10:48.:10:52.

in the Out campaign they say, if we leave, we will be able to trade, it

:10:53.:10:58.

is fine. Neither of those are facts, they are both predictions. Nobody

:10:59.:11:02.

has ever left the EU before, it is changing hugely if we stayed in, so

:11:03.:11:09.

it is guessing. So are you saying go with your heart and guts? That will

:11:10.:11:15.

be a big part. All the statistics are being flung at as in leaflets

:11:16.:11:18.

through the door and people like me droning on in the news, from the

:11:19.:11:22.

campaigns, more and more, we will see the heart. The In campaign sake

:11:23.:11:28.

we would leave Europe, as if the EU would start drifting into the

:11:29.:11:32.

Atlantic, we would still be in Europe but outside of the club. The

:11:33.:11:38.

Out site say that we are a proud, independent nation and we are

:11:39.:11:43.

shackled to this beast called the EU and we can get rid of it. Both of

:11:44.:11:47.

those appeals to our hearts, people trying to get us to think about who

:11:48.:11:52.

we are as a country rather than statistical stuff which can feel

:11:53.:11:56.

scrappy and, let's whisper it, a goal nil-nil drawl. -- a dull,

:11:57.:12:06.

nil-nil. Nobody has ever left the EU, so how would the changes come

:12:07.:12:12.

about? Nobody has ever left, it is only expanded, so you have all these

:12:13.:12:17.

facts, in inverted commas, which are just predictions. If we vote to

:12:18.:12:21.

Leave, the next morning we will wake up and we will still be In, so it

:12:22.:12:27.

takes a while. This is a prediction. Some people say it takes ten years,

:12:28.:12:31.

some people say two. Nobody is certain because it has never

:12:32.:12:35.

happened. All sorts of questions would be asked if we were to Leave.

:12:36.:12:40.

But others say it is a massive decision to stay in, because the

:12:41.:12:42.

club is changing beyond all recognition. The danger is those

:12:43.:12:49.

that do not vote, some people are passionate about In and Out, and the

:12:50.:12:55.

floaters. When was the last time you ever saw a demonstration where

:12:56.:13:00.

people were saying, what do we want? The same! When do we wanted? Now!

:13:01.:13:05.

Some would argue that it is not the same to stay in, that some people on

:13:06.:13:11.

the In campaign are slightly fearful that very few people are passionate

:13:12.:13:15.

about the EU. Even if you're going to vote to stay in, people do not go

:13:16.:13:24.

round kissing their ties, they do not get that passionate. But if you

:13:25.:13:28.

are keen to Leave you would probably really get out there. It is another

:13:29.:13:33.

factor. We will see you again soon, thank you. I will keep working on

:13:34.:13:36.

the wardrobe, thank you for having me. No facts, just links, on the

:13:37.:13:42.

website to help you make up your mind on the EU vote.

:13:43.:13:47.

Louis, we are used to seeing you uncover lots of unusual stories from

:13:48.:13:50.

around the globe, but we think that we have found one that will be new

:13:51.:13:55.

to you. Here is the story of a young lady called Sheila who has packed

:13:56.:13:59.

her trunk and said goodbye to Belfast zoo. Over to Jennie Browne.

:14:00.:14:02.

On the night of the 7th of April 1941, a squadron of Luftwaffe

:14:03.:14:05.

bombers flew across the lough behind me to bring

:14:06.:14:07.

One of the most bombed parts of the city was North Belfast,

:14:08.:14:19.

At the time it was home to a collection of wild

:14:20.:14:24.

and potentially dangerous animals and locals worried what might happen

:14:25.:14:26.

One of the zoo's curators, Alan Cairns, explains.

:14:27.:14:35.

Were people afraid that all the animals would get loose

:14:36.:14:37.

The Ministry of Public Security decided a bomb could hit the zoo

:14:38.:14:44.

and many of the dangerous animals would escape.

:14:45.:14:46.

An order was given by the ministry for 33 animals to be put to sleep,

:14:47.:14:50.

to be shot, and that included wolves and polar bears.

:14:51.:14:56.

But one of the zookeepers, Denise Austin, pleaded for the life

:14:57.:14:58.

There was such a strong bond between Sheila the baby elephant...

:14:59.:15:04.

And Denise made the case at the time that this was just a baby

:15:05.:15:11.

elephant, it wasn't going to cause any problems.

:15:12.:15:17.

Sheila was spared the cull but Denise was still concerned

:15:18.:15:20.

about leaving her alone at night at the zoo amidst the bombing.

:15:21.:15:24.

So every evening, unbeknownst to her employers, she would secretly

:15:25.:15:28.

lead Sheila out of the zoo at Cave Hill, down the city streets,

:15:29.:15:31.

This extraordinary photograph shows Sheila here in her backyard in North

:15:32.:15:51.

I am hoping that Denise's cousin, David Ramsay, can answer a question

:15:52.:16:01.

Where exactly do you keep an elephant at your house?

:16:02.:16:06.

Denise's house, there was a large coach house to one side of it

:16:07.:16:11.

and Denise just found it convenient to park Sheila in that

:16:12.:16:13.

Initially, I think when the first time the elephant was seen outside

:16:14.:16:21.

of the zoo, they were a bit startled.

:16:22.:16:23.

And then they thought, well, that is Denise.

:16:24.:16:25.

And over a period of time, when the elephant was coming out

:16:26.:16:28.

of the zoo every night, they got quite used to it.

:16:29.:16:31.

In fact, some of the small children would have come along

:16:32.:16:34.

and Denise would have set them on the elephant's shoulders.

:16:35.:16:36.

Denise's daily elephant smuggling went well for three months.

:16:37.:16:40.

But then Sheila decided to chase after a neighbourhood dog.

:16:41.:16:45.

Denise thought she had got away with it.

:16:46.:16:46.

All seemed to be well, except a few hours later,

:16:47.:16:49.

some of the householders came up to the head keeper and asked

:16:50.:16:52.

what he was going to do about repairing their fences!

:16:53.:16:54.

The zoo changed the locks to Sheila's enclosure,

:16:55.:17:01.

putting an end to her extracurricular day trips.

:17:02.:17:05.

But the ever-faithful Denise visited the elephant every night

:17:06.:17:07.

during the bombing that spring to comfort her.

:17:08.:17:11.

And did you ever get to meet Sheila?

:17:12.:17:13.

As a small boy, it was one of the treats for me to be taken up

:17:14.:17:22.

to the zoo and then Denise would have called Sheila and Sheila

:17:23.:17:25.

would have spun round very quickly, put her trunk out and then proceeded

:17:26.:17:28.

to hoover Denise all over, just to check it was her.

:17:29.:17:30.

That just shows you that elephants never forget.

:17:31.:17:33.

Sheila saw out her days at Belfast Zoo and lived

:17:34.:17:37.

Today, the zoo is home to three beautiful Asian elephants who live

:17:38.:17:43.

It is kind of a retirement home for older elephants

:17:44.:17:48.

And this caring attitude is a legacy of Denise and the Belfast Blitz.

:17:49.:17:53.

STUDIO: What a lovely story. You don't often deal with an elephant in

:17:54.:18:12.

the garden, Louis, but often there is an elephant in the room in your

:18:13.:18:16.

documentaries. Slightly clunky. How do you approach them? There is

:18:17.:18:21.

always an elephant in the room. There is always something, the

:18:22.:18:30.

reason I'm there, basically. It is either some weird form of behaviour

:18:31.:18:35.

that on the face of it needs explanation, why someone chooses to

:18:36.:18:40.

do this with job, or a source of trauma, sensitive question,

:18:41.:18:45.

do this with job, or a source of is a case of being polite, really.

:18:46.:18:51.

do this with job, or a source of About approaching it sensitively and

:18:52.:18:51.

more often than not, people About approaching it sensitively and

:18:52.:18:56.

talk about whatever it is, the big secret, the trauma in their life. It

:18:57.:19:01.

is gaining their trust and going in there in a way in which they are

:19:02.:19:06.

happy to talk. These documentaries are a great example, one of them has

:19:07.:19:10.

gone out, extreme drinking, which I found, you are in a strange

:19:11.:19:16.

situation where you are doing these strange and heartfelt interviews,

:19:17.:19:21.

interviewing people heavily under the influence of alcohol. Did you

:19:22.:19:25.

find that extraordinary, that situation? I knew what I was going

:19:26.:19:33.

into when I started but what was different, we had a young man called

:19:34.:19:42.

Joe and in a sober state he was very well spoken and very nice and

:19:43.:19:46.

intelligent, but when he had been drinking he was just a mess,

:19:47.:19:51.

basically. For various reasons he did not have the support network

:19:52.:19:55.

around him, friends and family had felt they needed to keep their

:19:56.:19:59.

distance when he was drinking and it fell on my shoulders to do some of

:20:00.:20:06.

that emotional stuff. You could see that, you became like a father

:20:07.:20:12.

figure to him. This character Joe really got under people's skins,

:20:13.:20:18.

Ian, because his mother was also a alcoholic, how do you gain their

:20:19.:20:25.

trust but also keep a distance because you could tell that you

:20:26.:20:27.

really felt for joy when you wanted to look after him a bit more than

:20:28.:20:32.

just making the documentary -- for Joe. I don't know if his mother was

:20:33.:20:37.

an alcoholic, actually, but there was drinking in there somewhere. It

:20:38.:20:42.

is about spending time with people, showing them it is more than just

:20:43.:20:47.

making the programme, that there is a juicy of care, that we spend time

:20:48.:20:53.

after the show making sure that everything goes

:20:54.:20:54.

after the show making sure that duty of care. My director was

:20:55.:21:02.

superb, they make sure they kept in touch with Joe and they showed him

:21:03.:21:07.

the show, but emotionally it is not always easy. In the next documentary

:21:08.:21:15.

you deal with brain injuries. A very different and difficult subject.

:21:16.:21:23.

What did you find out yourself from making that documentary? I've always

:21:24.:21:29.

been fascinated by psychology and people whose brains work in

:21:30.:21:33.

different ways. What I discovered, with brain injury, not always but

:21:34.:21:38.

often, there are changes which go along with it, personality changes,

:21:39.:21:42.

and some of those are challenging for the person in question and he's

:21:43.:21:47.

or her family, they can be in polls of Ms, disinhibition. --

:21:48.:21:55.

impulsiveness. If you have got a husband or partner or kids, they are

:21:56.:22:01.

having to adapt and fit around that, as well. You have brought an

:22:02.:22:06.

exclusive clip and we can have a look at you are meeting Amanda and

:22:07.:22:11.

here she is with her husband after she has moved back into the family

:22:12.:22:16.

home. At the risk of asking an intrusive question, you have been

:22:17.:22:19.

together 22 years, were you happy together? Yes. We were a good team.

:22:20.:22:29.

Best buddies. It was good. It still is good, just different, for the

:22:30.:22:33.

time being. We will get there. LAUGHTER

:22:34.:22:41.

That is the plan. Yeah. Stop tapping. I know, drumming,

:22:42.:22:51.

constantly. Stop it. STUDIO: Gosh. Lovely couple, actually. Such raw

:22:52.:22:59.

material, but clearly there are complex, but there is also a lot of

:23:00.:23:03.

love and it is about finding the balance in the story. You must have

:23:04.:23:08.

had psychologists with you at certain times, because you did not

:23:09.:23:13.

want to go too deep. We did much of it under the umbrella of a group

:23:14.:23:16.

called the brain injury rehabilitation trust and actually it

:23:17.:23:22.

is brain injury week this week and it is a good time to talk about

:23:23.:23:30.

these subjects. We made sure that they were involved and we took their

:23:31.:23:38.

advice. Your new documentary, A Different Brain, is on BBC Two at

:23:39.:23:41.

nine o'clock on the 15th of May. Which photos, if any, do you share

:23:42.:23:48.

online? Do you take a picture of your dinner and then post it for

:23:49.:23:57.

everyone? Maybe you feel your timeline with little fluffy kittens.

:23:58.:24:02.

Maybe like Joan Collins, posting pictures of her shoes and then her

:24:03.:24:08.

puddles. Outside her house. Chances and you do not post pictures of

:24:09.:24:13.

piles of rubbish, but one man who wants to do just that is now finding

:24:14.:24:16.

himself in a battle with the social media giant. It is all over a four

:24:17.:24:22.

letter word. Tommy Sandhu explains. Telegram. For me? There is a man in

:24:23.:24:32.

Kent who has created an app called littergram, but he has been

:24:33.:24:37.

contacted by the noise of Facebook who own Instagram because they would

:24:38.:24:44.

like to change the company's name -- contacted by the lawyers. Danny

:24:45.:24:54.

Lucas, the littergram man. How does it work? It is free to download. You

:24:55.:25:00.

take a picture of litter and it knows exactly where you are, you

:25:01.:25:04.

share it and instantly goes to a receiving end for the local

:25:05.:25:09.

authority. They can message you back straightaway to say they will deal

:25:10.:25:12.

with it or they can say when they will deal with it and then notify it

:25:13.:25:17.

is done. We got a little traction towards the end of last year and we

:25:18.:25:21.

got the first UK Council on board and we wanted to protect our logo.

:25:22.:25:26.

When we did that, the lawyers from Facebook said you cannot use the

:25:27.:25:38.

word gram. Come on, Facebook, it is time you smelt up and -- woke up and

:25:39.:25:45.

smell the instant coffee. Before there were any filters and hashtags,

:25:46.:25:50.

the word gram was used for hundred A.D. In the dark ages, that is like

:25:51.:25:56.

1600 years before Instagram was even thought of. The word gram is old.

:25:57.:26:09.

Old like grandma. No more kissagram is, no more stripper grams. The same

:26:10.:26:19.

applies for you. Celebrities give back your Grammys. No more, sorry.

:26:20.:26:30.

Nothing is sacred. Mr parallelogram is now known as Mr rectangle. This

:26:31.:26:36.

means no more gramophones, diagrams, TV programmes, cardio grams,

:26:37.:26:42.

sonogram, mammogram, and potentially no more littergram. I have a copy of

:26:43.:26:52.

the letter. It says, "Our client appreciates the objectives behind

:26:53.:26:59.

littergram but they say using the name is not except a ball and they

:27:00.:27:02.

are giving you a few months to stop using the term gram -- is not accept

:27:03.:27:12.

double. You're not a threat to Instagram, that is celebrities

:27:13.:27:20.

taking selfies. Exactly. It is everyone's right to use social

:27:21.:27:25.

media? We are only using it as a means of getting the attention of

:27:26.:27:28.

the local authorities. We reached out to the team at Facebook and they

:27:29.:27:30.

gave us this comment. What would you like to see happen? I

:27:31.:27:49.

would like to see Facebook almost support what we are doing morally

:27:50.:27:52.

and said this is a great cause, and with their blessing, littergram can

:27:53.:27:58.

continue. You want to keep the gram? Yes. We hope it gets resolved, one

:27:59.:28:07.

way or another very soon. Ian, we can now talk about your book, your

:28:08.:28:11.

memoirs, Once A Saint. You took over from Roger Moore. As the wonderful

:28:12.:28:17.

Simon Templar. How did this come about, how did you get the part? My

:28:18.:28:22.

agent called me one day and said a man would like to have lunch with

:28:23.:28:27.

me, this was in the early 70s, and he said he bridges to the Saint with

:28:28.:28:35.

Roger Moore -- he produced. He said he thought I would make a good one,

:28:36.:28:39.

which was very nice of him. His wife had seen me in upstairs downstairs.

:28:40.:28:45.

She fancied you. The character was very weedy, asexual. I wondered how

:28:46.:28:51.

she would make a connection between that character and the Saint, and

:28:52.:28:56.

the answer is because I looked a little bit like Roger Moore, and

:28:57.:29:01.

that is why I got the part. I never did an audition, I just walked

:29:02.:29:05.

straight into it, it could not have been any easier. We can have a look

:29:06.:29:07.

at you in full Saint mode. Look out! Are you all right? Yes,

:29:08.:29:40.

thank you. Mr? Simon Templar. APPLAUSE

:29:41.:29:44.

We have enjoyed watching that this afternoon. Are you surprised at how

:29:45.:29:54.

attitudes have changed since then? It is full of girls in bikinis,

:29:55.:30:00.

draped all over you. Sorry, attitudes have changed? What is

:30:01.:30:05.

wrong with girls in bikinis? Nothing. You are quite right, it has

:30:06.:30:11.

changed completely, and for the better, probably. Maybe less fun, a

:30:12.:30:17.

bit drier, but I don't thing in those days, feelings were very

:30:18.:30:22.

bruised and hurt and it is good that we have stopped it.

:30:23.:30:28.

You had fun with the reunion with the car, but there must have been so

:30:29.:30:33.

many pros and cons to playing the Saint. One of the prose was that she

:30:34.:30:40.

became a household name instantly. You could get a good table in a

:30:41.:30:44.

crowded restaurant instantly, but there was not much else. You two are

:30:45.:30:48.

very famous and you have probably made a lot of money, but I did not

:30:49.:30:54.

make money. It was very poorly paid. There were no foreign sales or

:30:55.:30:59.

residuals. The last money I saw from the Saint was a 1979. Your agent

:31:00.:31:05.

must have been rubbish, they did not negotiate that very well!

:31:06.:31:08.

LAUGHTER Either that or maybe I was too keen

:31:09.:31:18.

to take the part and they said, there is a sucker, here! Always

:31:19.:31:20.

pretend you are not keen! That was the sad thing. It was difficult

:31:21.:31:23.

being very famous or not having much money. Was it difficult for you to

:31:24.:31:30.

move on? It was, ibid. For a while, I did not really work on English

:31:31.:31:34.

television because they said, you are the Saint. I have been

:31:35.:31:37.

television because they said, you America for the past 26 years. The

:31:38.:31:37.

difference between America for the past 26 years. The

:31:38.:31:42.

English is that if they make you famous they think you are worth

:31:43.:31:43.

money and they will famous they think you are worth

:31:44.:31:47.

something else and exploit you. At that time in England, I hate Word

:31:48.:31:50.

typecasting because it that time in England, I hate Word

:31:51.:31:52.

really mean anything, but it meant that time in England, I hate Word

:31:53.:31:55.

that they would say, we can't use you, you are the Saint, that was

:31:56.:31:57.

sad. I did not do a lot after that. That lots of other

:31:58.:31:59.

stories in the book. You did lots of after that. That lots of other

:32:00.:32:07.

other television and theatre. But we were really confused, because this

:32:08.:32:13.

is on the cover. That is me in a play. Here is the thing about the

:32:14.:32:17.

cover of an autobiography, they always look the same, a

:32:18.:32:21.

cover of an autobiography, they black-and-white photograph of the

:32:22.:32:21.

person looking glamorous. I my publisher, I want a photograph

:32:22.:32:22.

that people will go, what the my publisher, I want a photograph

:32:23.:32:31.

is that? We did! If it is on the table with lots of other

:32:32.:32:34.

autobiographies, I want mine to be the one they up. Radiant. Ian's

:32:35.:32:42.

memoir, Once a Saint, is out tomorrow. Get ready to squint, soon

:32:43.:32:48.

we will be hearing at sculptures so tiny they are not visible to the

:32:49.:32:52.

naked eye. The first, Cerys Matthews travels to

:32:53.:32:56.

Liverpool to meet twins who specialise in another type of

:32:57.:33:00.

miniature art that requires the patience of a saint.

:33:01.:33:04.

For over 30 years, the Singh twins have been creating intricate art

:33:05.:33:08.

works using the tradition of Indian miniature painting. An ancient tech

:33:09.:33:12.

recombining very fine brush work with vibrant colour to create images

:33:13.:33:19.

of exquisite detail. And although work is created here in a shed

:33:20.:33:23.

studio in their family home, off this leafy street in Liverpool.

:33:24.:33:30.

Hello. Nice to meet you. Lovely to meet you. I have been calling you

:33:31.:33:35.

the Singh twins, it is not being rude, that is how you like to be

:33:36.:33:39.

referred to? Yes, it very much reflect the fact that we have always

:33:40.:33:43.

worked together and we never have individual ownership of any work.

:33:44.:33:48.

Icon from a bedtime when we have not been scribbling, painting or drawing

:33:49.:33:52.

on walls or books when we were very small. -- I can't remember a time.

:33:53.:33:58.

Ernst is covering a shared love of miniature art as teenagers, they

:33:59.:34:01.

have painted together every day, often working for hours on the same

:34:02.:34:07.

tiny piece. It can take 50 hours to 1000 hours. You often have to hold

:34:08.:34:13.

your breath to make sure the lines are straight. You are siblings, do

:34:14.:34:18.

you never disagree? I don't think we would be normal if you did not

:34:19.:34:25.

argue, that we are very much in chewed with each other. Indian

:34:26.:34:27.

miniature paintings have appeared in manuscript since the 14th century,

:34:28.:34:34.

where they were used to decorate religious texts and mythological

:34:35.:34:38.

epics. By the 18th-century they were India's dominant art form. The

:34:39.:34:44.

twins' worker updates the tradition to reflect modern tradition. Their

:34:45.:34:48.

Indian miniature is included Princess Diana, the beckons and even

:34:49.:34:53.

Liverpool footballers. -- Liverpool football supporters. Their work is

:34:54.:34:58.

owned by galleries worldwide and they were recently awarded an MBE by

:34:59.:35:03.

the Queen. They are bravely allowing me to put the finishing touches to a

:35:04.:35:08.

brand-new painting we are creating for a future Liverpool gallery

:35:09.:35:12.

exhibition. You can do a small bit of the top of this figure. You see

:35:13.:35:17.

the flowers on her top, we have left a few of them incomplete. That is

:35:18.:35:23.

it. You are there. This is so exquisite. It is fine. No, I am

:35:24.:35:30.

doing rubbish. That was absolutely terrifying. Luckily for me, this is

:35:31.:35:37.

just one part of this many layered artwork, inspired by the twins'

:35:38.:35:41.

personal fascination with the history of the Indigo dyed trade

:35:42.:35:46.

between India and Britain. Hidden in the painting are a multitude of

:35:47.:35:49.

objects and art from local Devoto museums. Her husband is the one who

:35:50.:35:58.

put a monopoly on indigo in India at that time. She is associated with

:35:59.:36:04.

the city where the Taj Mahal is. It was built as a mausoleum. Where does

:36:05.:36:11.

Queen Elizabeth come in? She ran a commission for the English merchants

:36:12.:36:15.

to trade with India, she is woven into the carpet design at the bottom

:36:16.:36:19.

of the painting. Quite often you incorporate your home city of

:36:20.:36:23.

Liverpool into your work, and we have a pair of Liverpool genes.

:36:24.:36:30.

Flemings was the first company to manufacture denim in the Liverpool

:36:31.:36:37.

area. Denim originates in India. Fascinating, we can't look at denim

:36:38.:36:41.

in the same way. All of these objects can together in the final

:36:42.:36:45.

artwork, for which the twins are mixing tradition with technology is

:36:46.:36:51.

gunning in each individual miniature painting to create a digital

:36:52.:36:56.

masterpiece. -- by scanning in. We have scanned it in and we are

:36:57.:37:00.

dragging it across to the final image, where we put in the final

:37:01.:37:04.

piece of the jigsaw. Absolutely stunning. I love how your eye is

:37:05.:37:10.

just drawn to this indigo blue world. It is all the more beautiful

:37:11.:37:14.

knowing the amount of work at the weeks of preparation that have gone

:37:15.:37:18.

into it. The Singh twins' paintings might be miniature, but their

:37:19.:37:24.

artistic ambition, combining Indian history and modern day Britain, is

:37:25.:37:29.

truly giant. The Singh twins, making beautiful

:37:30.:37:32.

art. We have another miniature artist with us, John Good. Welcome.

:37:33.:37:40.

You have a steady hand! I hope so. This is mesmerising. When and why

:37:41.:37:47.

did you decide to start drawing so intricately? This is all pencil,

:37:48.:37:52.

coloured and lead pencil? I have always painted, but they were mostly

:37:53.:37:57.

on a large scale. My style of painting has always been to have

:37:58.:38:02.

detail. A number of years ago, when I saw the Royal miniature Society

:38:03.:38:06.

asking artists to submit work for the exhibition, I thought that it

:38:07.:38:10.

sounds like me when I looked at the work that was on offer in the

:38:11.:38:15.

exhibition. Trying to get detail into a small area, that appeal to

:38:16.:38:21.

me. There is an amazing amount of detail. How long would it take to

:38:22.:38:26.

complete one of these and how wrong is it to go wrong? For me, they

:38:27.:38:31.

generally take longer than a big painting because of the effort

:38:32.:38:35.

involved in it. It can take, for one of these, 30 or 40 hours, maybe.

:38:36.:38:41.

Yes, things can go wrong. With painting, it is not too bad, but

:38:42.:38:45.

with pencil work you really do not have a second chance, if you make a

:38:46.:38:53.

mistake it is too hard to rub out. When we rehearsed this section you

:38:54.:38:57.

were telling me that you sharpen your pencil with sandpaper? That's

:38:58.:39:02.

right, literally a couple of lines at a time, re-sounding. The irony is

:39:03.:39:08.

that the smaller it is, the more you look at it. From miniature art to

:39:09.:39:13.

microscopic arts, made by MBE Willard Wigan. Willard, thank you.

:39:14.:39:21.

Remarkable. You are doing art in the eye of a needle? Correct. This blew

:39:22.:39:26.

our minds this afternoon. I can't get my head around this. You are

:39:27.:39:34.

looking at a standard sewing needle. Show it to the camera, if you would?

:39:35.:39:41.

There is a standard sewing needle. In the eye of the needle, you will

:39:42.:39:48.

see William Shakespeare. Now! Yes. Look at that.

:39:49.:39:55.

With the words to see or not to see? How do you go about creating

:39:56.:40:04.

something like this? What is he made of and what tools do you use? This

:40:05.:40:09.

type of work requires excessive skill. You have to have this

:40:10.:40:16.

obsessive type of skill. It is almost like trying to put a pin

:40:17.:40:20.

through a bubble, I had to train my heart rate to do it. I work at

:40:21.:40:25.

night. It is something I have done since I was five, it started when I

:40:26.:40:31.

used to build houses as a kid. -- houses for an is as a kid. A dog

:40:32.:40:38.

destroyed the ads' nests, so I felt sorry for the ants and I started

:40:39.:40:41.

making houses and furniture for them. My mother told me that if I

:40:42.:40:46.

went smaller, my name would get bigger. That is what I have done. I

:40:47.:40:51.

have done the smallest man made sculptures in the world, handmade.

:40:52.:40:58.

What tools do you use? As you can see, the tools are made

:40:59.:41:02.

individually. There is a little hook, a blade, they are individually

:41:03.:41:09.

made. It is not the type of thing you can make easily, the tools

:41:10.:41:14.

themselves can be a work of art. It is a punishing process. As you work

:41:15.:41:17.

on it you are not enjoying it, but you enjoy it when you finish. It is

:41:18.:41:21.

the slowing up the heart beat and making sure you do not make a

:41:22.:41:27.

mistake, if you do, it is all over. You have inhaled your art before?

:41:28.:41:34.

Yes, I have. He would be devastated! I was working on the Alice in

:41:35.:41:37.

Wonderland story and I inhaled Alice. I managed to make another

:41:38.:41:44.

Alice which was better than the one I inhaled. That was the right wrong

:41:45.:41:51.

thing, it was a lot better. It is utterly mesmerising to look at. This

:41:52.:41:56.

one here is my brother, I brought him down to size a little bit. Such

:41:57.:42:05.

lovely detail, thank you so much. One more for luck. This is a

:42:06.:42:10.

pinhead, incredible. I have made our house. And a forest.

:42:11.:42:14.

Look that bad. APPLAUSE

:42:15.:42:20.

. Thank you, we'll art. -- look at that. You can see John 's work, and

:42:21.:42:30.

will's work is being exhibited at the Central Library of Manchester.

:42:31.:42:39.

Here is Esther with another dilemma. Dear Esther, my ex-husband sent me a

:42:40.:42:45.

photo of this together on a beach from a holiday we went on in happier

:42:46.:42:48.

times. But we have been divorced four years. Is this a good thing of

:42:49.:42:55.

a bad thing? Should I just ignore it? We will get advice from the

:42:56.:43:01.

people of Portsmouth. She should just ignore rich. Or tell

:43:02.:43:05.

him to stop sending her those kind of pictures. I would probably reply

:43:06.:43:09.

him to stop sending her those kind with a nice message and hope that

:43:10.:43:13.

they are OK. I think I would just walk away. Throw it in the bin. The

:43:14.:43:17.

God I would evaluate it, see what the problem is, see if it is

:43:18.:43:21.

solvable. Do you want to have problems or want to be in love? I

:43:22.:43:26.

would rather be in love. He is adorable, but he has not grasped the

:43:27.:43:31.

point, has he? If he is doing bad, he's not worth bothering about. Just

:43:32.:43:37.

getting on with your life and enjoying it. Maybe give it another

:43:38.:43:43.

go and relive the holiday. What do you think? I agree, because I am

:43:44.:43:47.

going along with the wife. Have you no mind of your run? I just agree

:43:48.:43:53.

and do my own thing. Did you know he was doing that?

:43:54.:43:54.

LAUGHTER was doing that?

:43:55.:44:02.

She does now. Why have you sent this photograph,

:44:03.:44:06.

how would you explain yourself? I am trying to make a jealous, show her

:44:07.:44:10.

how much of a good time I am without her. Oh, the photo is with her?

:44:11.:44:18.

how much of a good time I am without is getting there! Aston we split up,

:44:19.:44:21.

you send that to me. May be a reminder to say how much I still

:44:22.:44:28.

love her. He is sweet. I know how you would respond. You would go

:44:29.:44:31.

crazy? I would rip it up and sent it you would respond. You would go

:44:32.:44:37.

back to him. I just ripped everything up and put it in the bin.

:44:38.:44:43.

Thrown anything out of the window? Plenty of times, lumps and all

:44:44.:44:53.

sorts. Lumps. He is reaching out to her, he should probably get back

:44:54.:44:56.

into her chair and CSA could spark at the old flame. You are much nicer

:44:57.:45:01.

about this than the women I have spoken to. They are all tough. You

:45:02.:45:07.

could say I am a romantic at heart. She should not be absurd. She can

:45:08.:45:13.

either take that as a sign from him, or she can just think, actually, I

:45:14.:45:17.

will not think anything of it, I will just think about that every

:45:18.:45:21.

time we hadn't forget about it -- she should not be upset. He must

:45:22.:45:27.

want her back. Sending a reminder of what you are missing. I suppose it

:45:28.:45:32.

depends why they split up. If he did something wrong, just ignore it

:45:33.:45:35.

because he is not worth the time of day. Here's something I never knew,

:45:36.:45:40.

women are much tougher than men. Funny, that. There you are, I have

:45:41.:45:46.

only been around for 75 years and I had no idea!

:45:47.:45:50.

STUDIO: That is a dilemma, it depends on the exes, I suppose. You

:45:51.:46:04.

probably have more. LAUGHTER I'm just saying it! If you have a

:46:05.:46:11.

dilemma and you would like to take to the streets of Britain, get in

:46:12.:46:17.

touch through the usual ways, and we will get Esther Rantzen on the case.

:46:18.:46:21.

Sorry, I've lost my mind, I feel very bad. We can now talk to Lianne

:46:22.:46:32.

La Havas. You are a guest on Coldplay's world tour, very

:46:33.:46:40.

exciting. How is that? Amazing. It has been so... I've never played in

:46:41.:46:48.

stadiums before, and it is absolutely amazing. We got back from

:46:49.:46:55.

Latin America. I'd never been there. I'd never played music there before,

:46:56.:47:04.

it was unbelievable. We have shots of you in Mexico. You have this

:47:05.:47:16.

incredibly soulful and relaxing worldly voice, where does that come

:47:17.:47:27.

from? I don't know. Your dad is Greek. Yes, my parents parents were

:47:28.:47:36.

from Greece and Jamaica. Grease on my father's side and Jamaica on my

:47:37.:47:43.

mother's side -- Greece. And they made me! I like to think my style

:47:44.:47:51.

and music is very eclectic and I think I owe that to my parents and

:47:52.:47:54.

grandparents, for the eclectic taste. Prince was very impressed

:47:55.:48:01.

with your style, and you worked with him and you became friends, how did

:48:02.:48:11.

that come about? He basically phoned me. Out of the blue. He said, I,

:48:12.:48:22.

this is Prince? Yes. He had seen you somewhere? I think he heard my music

:48:23.:48:31.

when I released my first EP in 2011. One day I got a message from my

:48:32.:48:37.

management saying that Prince would like to have a phone call with me,

:48:38.:48:40.

we did not know when it would happen. I just had to have my phone

:48:41.:48:47.

on me. How did you feel at that point when it was him on the other

:48:48.:48:54.

end? Completely ridiculous. The most surreal phone call I've ever had. It

:48:55.:49:00.

gets weirder, he ended up in your flat, performing. Right at the

:49:01.:49:06.

beginning was the phone call, and after we spoke, we stayed in touch

:49:07.:49:17.

ever since. We became friends. He basically e-mailed me one day and

:49:18.:49:21.

said, I've got this idea and I want to do a press conference in your

:49:22.:49:28.

living room. What did you said your flatmate? LAUGHTER

:49:29.:49:36.

I said, so, Prince is coming round tonight. It was just amazing. Any

:49:37.:49:46.

time that I spent with him was amazing. He had his way of making it

:49:47.:49:51.

feel like it was your birthday or the time. We are very sorry you have

:49:52.:49:59.

lost a dear friend. You must be very jealous, you are a big fan? It would

:50:00.:50:05.

have been amazing, what was he like? Was he quite normal? He seems so

:50:06.:50:13.

otherworldly. He was otherworldly and he seems to maintain that even

:50:14.:50:18.

when we just hanging out. -- he seemed. He was absolutely lovely.

:50:19.:50:24.

Where was your flat? I'm trying to visualise it. It was a terraced

:50:25.:50:37.

house and it was in Leighton. -- Leyton. Did you make him tea or

:50:38.:50:48.

coffee? We made him build a's T. -- builders do. You will be back in the

:50:49.:50:56.

UK, performing? We will be back on the road from the 24th of May.

:50:57.:51:03.

Lovely. Lianne will be performing for us shortly. Albert Einstein

:51:04.:51:09.

pointed out in 1905 that time is relative. It is so true. If you are

:51:10.:51:14.

ever struggling to understand the theory of relativity we have one

:51:15.:51:19.

scientist with crazy white hair to explain the theories of another. We

:51:20.:51:24.

are all familiar with the regular tick and talk of a clock, as it

:51:25.:51:30.

measures out time. But what if time was not regular? Suppose it could go

:51:31.:51:37.

faster or slower. What sort of world would that be? The idea that time

:51:38.:51:46.

can speed up and slow down came out of the most important science idea

:51:47.:51:51.

of the 20th century, the theory of relativity, invented by the great

:51:52.:51:56.

Albert Einstein. I will explain it using a tennis ball, torch and a

:51:57.:52:09.

train. I'm throwing this ball around ten mph and the ball is travelling

:52:10.:52:14.

at that speed. Right? Not so, says Einstein. Imagine there is somebody

:52:15.:52:21.

watching from outside the train. Here comes the train. I told the

:52:22.:52:28.

driver to go at ten mph. I'm looking for some bloke playing catch. There

:52:29.:52:38.

he is. Right. The ball went past me at 20 mph and that makes sense,

:52:39.:52:46.

because the speed of the ball was ten mph plus the speed of the train

:52:47.:52:53.

itself. For me, on the platform, the ball was moving at 20 miles an hour.

:52:54.:52:59.

But for me on the train, the ball is travelling at ten miles an hour and

:53:00.:53:04.

that is relativity. The ball does not have just one speed, only a

:53:05.:53:08.

speed relative to where you measure it from. But now things get really

:53:09.:53:14.

weird. Einstein was interested in the speed of light, is mathematical

:53:15.:53:18.

calculation is leading to a startling conclusion. The speed of

:53:19.:53:22.

light is always the same, no matter where you measure it. Let me show

:53:23.:53:31.

you why this is weird. This time I have got a beam of light. The speed

:53:32.:53:38.

of light measured on this train is about 186,000 miles a second, what

:53:39.:53:44.

happens if I shine a light out of the window, though? You might think

:53:45.:53:51.

that it would be the same as with a tennis ball, the speed of light plus

:53:52.:53:56.

the speed of the train. But if you measure the speed of the light beam

:53:57.:54:00.

from the platform it is exactly the same speed as the light beam on the

:54:01.:54:06.

train. No matter how fast the train goes, the speed of light is always

:54:07.:54:13.

constant. Cup of tea, please. Light is constant and speed is relative,

:54:14.:54:17.

but what about time? Einstein proved that time, just like speed, was

:54:18.:54:23.

relative, anchored speed up and slow down depending on how fast you were

:54:24.:54:29.

travelling -- and code. This meant a clock on a fast moving train runs

:54:30.:54:34.

very slightly slower than the one left behind at the station. This is

:54:35.:54:42.

the National physical laboratory in Teddington, their atomic clocks are

:54:43.:54:47.

some of the most accurate in the world, accurate to one second in 150

:54:48.:54:54.

million years. With clocks this accurate, Einstein's weird ideas

:54:55.:55:00.

about time can be tested. In 1971. The Joseph from Saint Louis but

:55:01.:55:05.

three seats on an aeroplane, one for him and two from Mr Clarke, Mr

:55:06.:55:11.

Clarke was an atomic clock and they also left an identical clock at

:55:12.:55:17.

home. Mr clock food wise around the world, East first of all like this,

:55:18.:55:24.

and then all the way West bash flew twice around the world. They then

:55:25.:55:29.

compared the clocks and the times were different. It was only a

:55:30.:55:35.

minuscule difference, but they exactly matched Einstein's

:55:36.:55:39.

predictions. Einstein's genius was to take a simple idea and to run

:55:40.:55:43.

with it, and it took him some strange places. But he changed the

:55:44.:55:50.

way we think about time for ever. STUDIO: Thank you. We have time for
