:00:37. > :00:47.Valli. APPLAUSE
:00:47. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:54.Why is that song still so popular today? Who really knows why a song
:00:54. > :01:01.stays popular or does become popular. If there was anybody that
:01:01. > :01:07.really knew that, they would be able to... Keep going. Create a
:01:07. > :01:11.record company that had nothing but hits. That's true. True. Of course,
:01:11. > :01:21.today is the fourth of July, American Independence Day.
:01:21. > :01:26.MUSIC: American National Anthem. It's very obviously excitement
:01:26. > :01:30.there. It is amazing. You have Jersey here and Uncle Sam at the
:01:30. > :01:40.same time. We look after our guests. What would you be doing if you were
:01:40. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:22.at home. Some of the best stateside snaps later on. Now one book has
:02:22. > :02:28.recently become the fastest selling paper back of all time. But have
:02:28. > :02:32.you read it? You have admitted to reading a few chapters. I have.
:02:32. > :02:37.sister said she's read it, but don't tell anyone. I won't mention
:02:37. > :02:43.it. It turns out at breakfast that even my brother in law has read it,
:02:43. > :02:46.hey! Here's Anita Rani on the book that's made the nation blush. Don't
:02:46. > :02:56.worry parents, we've given this film a U certificate, suitable for
:02:56. > :03:02.all. Fifty Shades Of Grey is a
:03:02. > :03:07.phenomenon in the book world. It's got over a million British women
:03:08. > :03:13.feverishly turning its pages. Do you know each other? No. No. You've
:03:13. > :03:18.come for which book? Fifty Shades Of Grey. Nearly everybody in my
:03:18. > :03:22.work is reading it. The cabin crew read it a lot. I thought I'd come
:03:22. > :03:29.and get it. You're a stewardess? Yes. People are reading it on
:03:29. > :03:35.flights as well? My boyfriend's mum has bought it as well. She told me.
:03:35. > :03:40.I was flicking through to have a look. She said, no, I have to wait.
:03:40. > :03:43.I have tried everywhere to get it. I thought I'm going to get it and
:03:43. > :03:48.going to buy all three. She's converted me. Now it's back, I'm
:03:48. > :03:54.buying. It Your mum's reading it, your daughter's friends, now you.
:03:54. > :04:04.My step mum has been saying about it. My sister has read it.
:04:04. > :04:23.
:04:23. > :04:28.Though, right, yes! That is my book! The bulk is the first
:04:28. > :04:38.instalment in a trilogy that traces the deepening relationship between
:04:38. > :04:40.
:04:40. > :04:44.Guinness and literature student and Its agor EL James, mother of two
:04:44. > :04:47.from west London describes her books as romantic fantasy stories,
:04:47. > :04:52.which offer women a holiday from their husbands. What's the
:04:52. > :04:57.controversial book that's on millions of women's bedside tables?
:04:57. > :05:01.That's a no. I don't know that. Next. I'll ask Michelle when I get
:05:01. > :05:09.home. Some of the only men getting a look
:05:09. > :05:15.in, are these busy printers. Have you read it? No. Do you know
:05:15. > :05:22.anything about it? Have you flicked through? Yes. I have. What do you
:05:22. > :05:26.think? I can see how the contents are interesting. Very addictive.
:05:26. > :05:31.I've nearly finished the second one now. I will read the third to see
:05:31. > :05:37.what happens. How many are you produegs a day? Several hundred
:05:38. > :05:41.thousand. About 20,000 books an hour. It's not just the printed
:05:41. > :05:49.copy flying off the shelves. It seemed just as many people are
:05:50. > :05:53.downloading it too. How much of a phenomenon has it become? It became
:05:53. > :05:56.a phenomenon of the genre it's in. No-one can see what you're reading
:05:56. > :06:01.if you're in public. This will be a great summer, as they're saying in
:06:01. > :06:05.the book trade. All other publishers are piling in, putting
:06:05. > :06:10.similar type book was similar packaging and releasing nem July.
:06:10. > :06:20.And so, for the blissfully uninitiated here is Fifty Shades Of
:06:20. > :06:27.
:06:27. > :06:33.Enjoying that Matt? Enough now. Hang on. You can have it back after
:06:33. > :06:36.the show. Thanks. Frankie, you've been in the UK touring, last show
:06:36. > :06:40.tomorrow in Epsom, it's gone incredibly well though, with the
:06:40. > :06:44.Four Seasons. It's not the original Four Seasons, is it? How many
:06:44. > :06:51.seasons have there been all together? There have been many
:06:51. > :06:57.seasons. Every time you turn around there's a new season. You've heard
:06:57. > :07:03.that saying before - seasons come and seasons go. There have been
:07:03. > :07:09.many seasons. The original guys all decided that they just didn't want
:07:09. > :07:12.to travel any more. You'd wonder though. The hits kept coming and
:07:12. > :07:17.coming. Surely you'd think that everybody would want to stay
:07:17. > :07:21.together. I wish I knew how that happened. I would recreate the same
:07:21. > :07:26.thing for someone else if I knew exactly how to do that. Ever since
:07:26. > :07:31.we knew you were coming on, we've had the CDs, playing them endlessly.
:07:31. > :07:35.Every track that comes up, you know it. Goodness me, did you have that
:07:35. > :07:38.one or that one. We've had a lot of hits. You guys here have been
:07:38. > :07:46.terrific with supporting the records that we've put out over the
:07:46. > :07:56.years. You're probably our number one fans. Really? I'm serious.
:07:56. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:07.Let's remind ourselves of some of # Walk like a man #
:08:07. > :08:14.# Greece is the word, # It's the word that you heard
:08:14. > :08:24.# It's got groove, it's got meaning # Big girls don't cry
:08:24. > :08:25.
:08:25. > :08:27.# They don't cry # Big girls, don't cry
:08:27. > :08:37.# It's just an alibi # APPLAUSE
:08:37. > :08:37.
:08:37. > :08:42.Oh, yes! Who was that guy with the moustache? You haven't changed a
:08:42. > :08:46.bit. Looked like Groucho Marx. voice is so distinctive. In your
:08:46. > :08:54.70s is it hard to hit the high notes and bring that sound you're
:08:54. > :09:00.so well known for? Or do you find it no problem? It was fun doing in
:09:00. > :09:06.the beginning, but that's why I chose to go after a solo career
:09:06. > :09:14.also. I've enjoyed every hit that we've ever had and enjoyed every
:09:14. > :09:18.song that was written specifically for the group. There's a little bit
:09:18. > :09:25.more to a singer than just singing in one range all the time. Back in
:09:25. > :09:29.the time, in the early 60s, your falsetto was very much for backing
:09:29. > :09:33.singers. Specially during the early 60s when we started to have hits,
:09:33. > :09:38.establishing a sound was very important. In the back of my mind,
:09:38. > :09:43.I always wanted to have a solo career also, something where I
:09:43. > :09:47.didn't sing falsetto. The good news is you're back in the UK. So it's
:09:47. > :09:52.the last one tomorrow, but then you're back next year. And it's
:09:52. > :09:55.been great, it really has been great. We've had a terrific time
:09:55. > :09:59.and some of the new people that are with me are really having a lot of
:09:59. > :10:02.fun. I am looking forward to coming back again next year. All the
:10:02. > :10:08.people obviously that you've met throughout your career and Frank
:10:08. > :10:17.Sinatra as well was a life-long friend. How due meet him? --
:10:17. > :10:21.you meet him? I met with Frank Sinatra for the very first time in
:10:21. > :10:27.a saloon in New York City, that he used to hang out at. Didn't he help
:10:27. > :10:34.you when you had some voice trouble, though? Actually, I had a polyp on
:10:34. > :10:43.one of my vocal chords. He sent me to a doctor that was a specialist
:10:43. > :10:48.and taken care of people who had throat problems. He cured me. Frank
:10:48. > :10:52.Sinatra, when I got better, he gave me a singing lesson, which was
:10:53. > :10:57.really nice. How was that. Really, how long did it last, that lesson?
:10:57. > :11:00.He told me not to drink or smoke or do substances and all he did was
:11:00. > :11:06.drink and smoke! LAUGHTER
:11:06. > :11:10.I tell you what, it kind of worked for you, the hits just kept coming
:11:10. > :11:14.and coming. Working My Way Back To You is out now, all of those greats
:11:14. > :11:17.songs are on there. From New Jersey to Old Jersey and as we've all read
:11:17. > :11:21.recently, it's not unusual for people to want to hide their money
:11:21. > :11:27.away on the Channel Islands. it's been going on a lot longer
:11:27. > :11:30.than you might think, as Matt Allwright found out.
:11:30. > :11:40.Jersey, a tranquil holiday island where the pace of life has always
:11:40. > :11:41.
:11:41. > :11:48.been gentle. Until now. Richard and Reg have, after 30 years, laid
:11:48. > :11:51.their hands on a haul of Celtic coins so significant, its location
:11:51. > :11:54.is being kept under wraps. Describe to me the moment when you knew you
:11:54. > :11:59.had something extraordinary on your hands. We arrived on site on the
:11:59. > :12:06.day. We hadn't been there more than about 20 minutes, when Reg called
:12:06. > :12:09.to me that he'd found, we had a large signal, and felt it needed
:12:09. > :12:14.further investigation. As we dug down, about three foot down, when
:12:14. > :12:18.we heard that clink of metal, spade against metal, we realised we'd
:12:18. > :12:25.found something special and out at the end of that spade were four
:12:25. > :12:29.Iron Ageed coins stuck to it. Richard shouted out "Oh!" In fact
:12:29. > :12:36.three quarters of a ton of Celtic treasure was pulled from the ground
:12:36. > :12:40.and Neil has the job of taking it apart. That is incredible. It's so
:12:40. > :12:50.exciting, because you're seeing it for the first time since someone
:12:50. > :12:53.buried it there, "right third tree from the left.". We thought it was
:12:53. > :12:56.a football-sized mass. But we started to dig it out and it went
:12:56. > :13:00.wider and wider. We couldn't believe it. Nothing like this has
:13:00. > :13:05.been found before. You say it's just coins, but I'm seeing here
:13:05. > :13:09.there's a little bit of like a ring, some silver jewellery. This is
:13:09. > :13:12.really exciting. Within the first hour, we saw this first piece of
:13:12. > :13:17.silver jewellery here. We thought that's great. Suddenly we know we
:13:17. > :13:21.have a mixed horde. It really is treasure, whatever they had that
:13:21. > :13:26.was worth something was thrown in. Coming down further, we found this
:13:26. > :13:30.gold object, which we hadn't expected at all. With knowing that
:13:30. > :13:38.we we had those two pieces six inches apart, we have no idea what
:13:38. > :13:46.else is in there now. It literally is as they fell into a hole 2,050
:13:46. > :13:51.years ago. It's just preserved. Ahead lie years of work, removing
:13:51. > :13:57.each coin, bathing them in diluted acid, before a final scale and
:13:57. > :14:05.polish. At the end of the process, this is what they should look like,
:14:05. > :14:11.this is the first batch. Look at that! Celtic change. There is a
:14:11. > :14:17.whole lot more of that to come. or 60,000, perhaps. Who would
:14:17. > :14:25.choose to hide their money on Jersey? These coins belonged to a
:14:25. > :14:31.try but which were based around Saint Malo. It -- it takes to the
:14:31. > :14:35.year 50 BC. Julius Caesar's army was advancing through France and
:14:35. > :14:39.drive in the tribal communities to the coast. This tribe decided to
:14:39. > :14:47.make their way to jersey as a safe refuge and bring their wealth with
:14:47. > :14:52.them. When Sue found the biggest Celtic Ward, what do you do, just
:14:52. > :14:57.retire? The search goes on, there is always something else to find,
:14:57. > :15:03.to study. There is financial reward attached to it, but at the moment,
:15:03. > :15:08.it is so far away, we are just enjoying this amazing, once in a
:15:08. > :15:16.lifetime find. I am sure they are. They will even
:15:16. > :15:21.more shortly. I think I recognised a few of those coins! It is all
:15:21. > :15:25.happening now! Put a claim on it! The Jersey Boys is still successful
:15:25. > :15:31.on stage around the world. There are rumours there will be a film,
:15:31. > :15:37.is there any truth? It is not a room there, there will be a film.
:15:37. > :15:43.Who will play you? They are just starting to cast, I have no idea.
:15:43. > :15:52.Are you involved? On a different level. I am not actually picking
:15:52. > :15:59.anybody. We will act as consultants. We will co-produce in the
:15:59. > :16:02.background. Really in the background! All the best with it.
:16:03. > :16:06.The common view of World War II is that the whole nation, without
:16:06. > :16:15.question, came together to fight the Nazis. But some British
:16:15. > :16:19.families have discovered their relatives actually switched sides.
:16:19. > :16:25.On VE Day, crowds flocked onto the streets of Britain to celebrate
:16:25. > :16:34.victory in a life-or-death struggle against Adolf Hitler and his armies.
:16:34. > :16:38.Today, we give thanks to God, for the Great deliverance. But not
:16:38. > :16:42.everybody was rejoicing. A few dozen service they changed sides
:16:42. > :16:48.and became members of the British Free Corps, part of the SS. They
:16:48. > :16:53.now feared they would be revealed as traitors. The original idea for
:16:53. > :16:57.the unit was devised by John Amery, a fascist sympathiser and son of a
:16:57. > :17:01.Cabinet minister. His idea to recruit a unit of men willing to
:17:01. > :17:05.betray their country was put to Hitler in a memo sent via the
:17:05. > :17:08.German foreign ministry. Hitler approve the plans, it could be a
:17:08. > :17:12.great propaganda coup. A substantial number of British
:17:12. > :17:15.traitors could suggest Europe was united in his fight against
:17:15. > :17:21.communism and might help undermine the morale of the Allies. The
:17:21. > :17:25.Germans had captured thousands of British soldiers, and the job of
:17:25. > :17:29.tent indented Richard Reid was passed to the SS. Within each
:17:29. > :17:34.German peer did you camp, there was the security and intelligence
:17:34. > :17:38.branch, staffed by German two spoke good English, who mingled with the
:17:38. > :17:43.prisoners and sounded them out. It was true that that they were able
:17:43. > :17:48.to identify a small Bickley us of sympathisers. Once they had
:17:48. > :17:52.identified them, how did they proceed? One strand of the process
:17:52. > :17:56.was the creation of holiday camps for prisoners of war. For the men
:17:56. > :18:01.selected, this was a break from the rigours of four. They could take a
:18:01. > :18:04.few weeks, get better food, not have to work, they had a football
:18:04. > :18:09.pitch, a canteen, which had beer, they used that as a cover to
:18:09. > :18:13.concentrate the nucleus of sympathisers, just to the south of
:18:13. > :18:17.Berlin. Having been softened up, they were tempted into treachery
:18:17. > :18:21.and asked to join what was called the British Free Corps. It was made
:18:21. > :18:25.clear just two the enemy was. of the pledges, they would never
:18:25. > :18:30.have to fight against Britain or the Western allies, they were just
:18:31. > :18:34.for use against communism. One man who went there and signed was a
:18:34. > :18:38.captured sailor called Alfred mentioned. His granddaughter has
:18:38. > :18:45.researched his story. They were promised to be treated better, be
:18:45. > :18:52.fed better, entertainment, more freedom. What state was he in?
:18:52. > :18:57.health was not good. That influence that. After joining, they went to
:18:57. > :19:02.train. His own postal account reveals the astonishing life he led,
:19:02. > :19:07.compared to the hardships he left behind in the prisoner of war camps.
:19:07. > :19:13.He says, I used to go out to cafes, restaurants and cinemas in Berlin,
:19:13. > :19:17.and I had Entertainment paid for by the Germans. It is amazing. The men
:19:17. > :19:21.paraded around in their uniforms, Standard RSS issue, but with a
:19:21. > :19:28.couple of differences. There were echoes of that world British
:19:28. > :19:32.Standard on the lapel and a Union Jack on the arm. This is him in
:19:32. > :19:38.uniform? How do you feel, seeing that? Strange, seemed an English
:19:38. > :19:43.person in that type of uniform. It is not right. The Germans
:19:43. > :19:49.recruitment drive had little effect. At its peak, the unit had just 27
:19:49. > :19:53.members. This tiny unit was of little or no military use at all. A
:19:53. > :19:58.few men did serve on the eastern front alongside the Germans, but
:19:58. > :20:02.many saw no service. Some estate, some served in work gangs, some
:20:02. > :20:08.were returned to the camps. British intelligence had infiltrated and
:20:08. > :20:11.they knew exactly who they were. When the war finished, some, like
:20:11. > :20:18.Alfred, served prison sentences, but others were let off with a
:20:18. > :20:22.warning. They were weak men who were led astray and who have
:20:22. > :20:25.regretted it later. A lot of criminals regret crimes after they
:20:25. > :20:30.have been committed. The men and their families have to live with
:20:31. > :20:37.the shame of their treachery. Your grandmother reacted strongly.
:20:37. > :20:42.she divorced him. She told my father that he had died during the
:20:42. > :20:47.war, rather than telling the truth, she was so ashamed. My father
:20:47. > :20:52.thought that he had died. Did you see him as a traitor? That is what
:20:52. > :20:57.he did, technically, but I do not like to judge him, because I have
:20:57. > :21:07.never experienced anything near to what he and many others when three.
:21:07. > :21:07.
:21:07. > :21:12.I am not in a place to judge. You said in the film that John
:21:12. > :21:17.Amery came up with the idea, he was quite a character? He seems normal,
:21:17. > :21:22.he came from an established British family, his father was Secretary of
:21:22. > :21:27.State, but he is awed, peculiar, eccentric, he is in trouble from a
:21:27. > :21:35.younger age, his teachers regard him as abnormal, he runs away, and
:21:35. > :21:40.he leads a wildlife. Funded by dodgy dealings, fraud, begging
:21:40. > :21:46.money from his father, he even claimed to have tuberculosis. He is
:21:46. > :21:51.extremely eccentric, he carries around a teddy bear, he uses it to
:21:51. > :21:57.reserve seats at restaurants and theatres, he has severed before
:21:57. > :22:03.driving offences against his name, -- 70 for driving offences against
:22:03. > :22:07.his name, peculiar guy. What happened? It did not we workout. At
:22:08. > :22:16.the end of the war, he is in northern Italy, he is captured by
:22:16. > :22:22.the Communists, and they hand him over to captain Alan Whicker! He is
:22:22. > :22:28.relieved at this point, he thinks, thank goodness. He gets taken back
:22:28. > :22:33.to Britain. He is put on trial for treason. His family tried to argue
:22:33. > :22:37.he was mentally ill, but ultimately, on the first day of the trial, he
:22:37. > :22:47.pleads guilty, the trial lasts eight minutes, and he is hanged by
:22:47. > :22:51.the neck. 1945, aged just 33. everything you said, he was
:22:51. > :22:58.troubled. With all of the things that went on in his life before any
:22:58. > :23:02.of this. He may have needed help, somebody could have come along and
:23:02. > :23:06.help him. It is very easy to look at the circumstances that somebody
:23:06. > :23:16.else is going through and make a judgment on something even though
:23:16. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:25.the figure about. That is true. is really important, does it mean,
:23:25. > :23:31.for every sin that we commit, that is the end? One-man who served his
:23:31. > :23:36.country for a fully and went on to make us laugh for decades
:23:36. > :23:41.afterwards, Eric Sykes, who died today. In 20th October 10, his
:23:41. > :23:45.daughter made a film for us about growing up with him as her father -
:23:45. > :23:53.- in October 2010. The 80s again as a tribute to a British comedy
:23:53. > :23:56.legend. -- here it is again. I have a family. I have always kept
