04/07/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker...

And it's day two of our One Show Phone Plan -

thanks to everyone who's been in touch - we've had some great

suggestions to help us cut down on our mobile phone obsession.

We have indeed... Alex, we think you've come up trumps with the best

one so far? I've smashed it today, on the way to work! Your little face

when you came into the office... I'm devastated!

He put this sign up on his living room door to stop his daughter Hope

constantly using her phone - but she doesn't take any notice.

Karen O'Riordan, she takes the Wi-Fi box to work... Drastic! She takes it

with her so her children do the chores. And Stuart says he used to

turn his Wi-Fi off at night but he found out that their daughter,

Hannah, would sit in the bath connected to the neighbour's Wi-Fi

in the middle of the night! I'm not sure what the tip is to get you off

the Internet, maybe a new lock on the bathroom door!

And proof that this isn't just an issue

Nigel sent this photo in of his 88-year-old dad Dennis -

glued to his phone while watching the One Show.

Look at his bookcase, his house is like Dixons! He doesn't just have

one landline, he's got two! Keep those photos going in, we love to

see them. And tonight's guest

is already signed-up... He's actually banned his teenage

daughter from getting APPLAUSE

Hello! It's not exactly all my doing... Her mum was very

instrumental in it, she's the real enforcer. So not so much... Mean by

name... Mean by nature! How long will you hold out? How old is she?

She is 12 years old, not far off... And you are sticking to it? Yeah. My

wife did a lot of research about when the brain is fully formed, and

the microwaves from the phone which can damage young brains, explained

this in graphic detail... To my horrified daughter. She bought into

it. Good! You should have bought your wife with you! We came up with

the idea... in new figures given to us

by Deloitte - 15.5 million people in the UK worry that they use

their smartphones too much. It's affecting family life,

how we interact with people around us and sometimes it's

just downright dangerous. Take this man caught on CCTV

in a hotel in the States... No doubt left with a few bruises -

including his pride. Her phone probably wasn't up

to much after that dunking! The best technique yet to get your

youngsters off mobile phones! Put paddling pools everywhere you go!

It's a familiar sight, on the street, in coffee shops, everywhere!

They even have a name for it. Smartphones zombies! But this

psychologist thinks the new phenomenon and is a real cause for

concern. I'm guilty of looking at something on my phone as I'm walking

one place to the next, I'm trying to save time. Is there any harm?

Absolutely. You not paying attention to your surroundings. You could miss

any number of things going on around you. To prove his point, Lee has

come up with a special the one showed test. We are asking the

smartphone lovers to search the answer to the same random

question... How many golf balls are on the moon, and who put them there?

Text it to their contacts, see who gets the first reply. Ready,

steady... Go! But what they don't know is while they are busy

searching and sending, something out the ordinary will join them. Will

they notice? I have a reply! Well done,

congratulations. Task complete, but did the volunteers spot anything

unusual? Did you see anything? Not a thing. I was busy messaging. You

tuned it is nothing unusual? OK. There was a guy dressed in a gorilla

suit...? In the experiment, only three of the ten mobile users caught

sight of a gorilla, going some way to prove the point that many of us

are easy Lee distracted by our phones. But what kind of effect that

this have on us? What are the consequences of compulsive

behaviour? I think we are just starting to understand those

consequences, so in some research I've done, I've looked into

cognitive failures. You forget people's names, and maybe where you

left your keys, or a big one is people being clumsy.

People bump into random objects and we've all seen examples of it

happening on the street, people walking and texting walking into

lamp posts, someone else... You engage in something quite demanding

and you need to pay a lot of attention. Your attention is devoted

here, so everything else receives less attention. That all sounds a

little too familiar, but surely I'm not the only one with these

symptoms? She's too busy, she's on the phone! Does being on the phone

all the time affect your memory? I think you have a shorter attention

span. You do not exercise your brain muscles as much as you should. You

don't have to retain your information as it's on your phone

constantly. First thing in the morning you pick it up and check

what's happening in the world. Before you know it, 20 minutes have

and you are late! So we admit that we are getting more easily

distracted and forgetful, and this could all be because of our mobile

phones. But this is supposed to make our lives easier! The good news is,

we are not entirely to blame. James Williams is the co-founder of Time

Well Spent, an organisation encouraging people to take control

of their technology. Previously he spent ten years at Google and knows

how hard big technology companies work to keep us glued to our

screens... What tricks do they use to capture our attention? One thing

you see in a lot of different apps is the infinite scrolling news feed.

The psychology of this is the same psychology as slot machines, when

you pull down to refresh the news feed, you pull down on an

informational slot machine, in a sense. You now see autoplay videos,

it grabs your attention more than a static image would. A common

persuasive technique is a notification, you see the red pop-up

of how many messages you have. And what happens to your brain when that

happens? What happens physiologically? It is ultimately

training us to watch the notification for the next red dot,

or the e-mail inbox for the next message or the little noise. It's

turned our lives into a continuous flow of rewards. When computers were

at our desks and we could walk away, it was manageable. Now it is

literally the first thing we look at when we wake up and the last thing

before we sleep. We need to move from a world where technology

maximises time spent with it to Time Well Spent. Only now do we've

realise some of the negative consequences of our mobile phones.

If technology companies get their way, this could just be the tip of

the iceberg... STUDIO: James Williams, the

co-founder of Time Well Spent, as you saw in the film, is with us now.

And if you want to know the answer to the question "how many golf balls

are there on the moon" - it's two!

Yes, it is to! It's easy to blame these companies but, to be honest,

nobody forces everyone to go onto their phones, and in a lot of

respects, they help a lot of people. But do the companies have a sense of

responsibility, that what they are creating is very addictive?

??FORCEDBLUE sure, no person is ultimately to blame for this

situation we are in. The system makes it valuable for companies to

capture as much of our attention as they can, they call it an attention

economy. It is the primary business model of the Internet now. Our

phones are designed to be the most interesting things in our lives. By

no surprise we find ourselves gravitating towards that rather than

deeper human interactions that we value. You are a guru though, how do

we spend less time on our phones. We need tips! I think one way is by

managing the notification is that we get. We all get tonnes of

notifications every day. Not all of them are as valuable as others, what

we recommend in the Time Well Spent campaign, only accept notifications

from people and not machines. If somebody messages or e-mails you, as

opposed to your Twitter, saying, follow this person... Set those

notifications right. Another is hiding apps that distract you

personally. You could put them a fuse swipes away on your phone, give

yourself a nudge to not use them. And search by typing in the text bar

to navigate, you can cut down that way. One problem a lot of people

have with phones is using them late at night. The blue light of the

phone tells our brains that it is daytime. One thing we recommend is

charging your phone in a room other than the bedroom, and get a

stand-alone alarm clock. A stand-alone alarm clock?! I think

they still make them... Do they? What is your personal motivation for

doing this? You seem into technology, to me? My motivation is

when I was working in the USA in the technology industry, I felt there

was more technology in my life than ever, but it was getting harder to

do what I wanted to do. I have been researching these issues on

attention and persuasion over the last few years at Oxford, and I

think it's a big moral and political question. To do anything worthwhile

in life, we need to give attention to what matters but what is

happening is these devices are taking away our ability to give

attention to what matters. I hope we can steer it into the right

direction and align the design with deeper human needs. And I think we

need to put etiquette and manners into our plan. In a social situation

the last thing you want is someone looking down at a phone. It is

manners. You wouldn't put your elbows on the table, why put your

phone? Yes Axel James, thank you. I understood about 10% of what you

said... I'm completely out of the loop with that. The notifications, I

get very few of them. You don't sign up to the apps in the first place,

that is the best thing. What are they for? But some are brilliant.

When we download, do we ask them? The motivation to get out will be

that book called The Circle. It's great. You need to talk to Matt, you

are both on the same page... I think it is important to look at the

important things in life. Good pointers from James.

But we want to hear what works for you.

So do get in touch in the usual ways.

We'll put them altogether into our One Show phone plan and ask

the Farnworth family - who we met last night -

to try them out over the summer and report back to us.

We'll be talking about Colm's new play in a minute -

but away from the West End stage - his CV's littered with

all-action blockbusters like Con Air and Under Siege.

So he knows better than most how important a good

Unfortunately - getting the professionals in doesn't

guarantee things will run smoothly...

I have two main passions in life, motocross and martial arts. That's

pretty much how I got into the film industry. My name is Olivia Jackson

and I've worked as a stunt double for loads of lead actresses, like

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Karen Gillan, and Lizzie Olsen, on Mad

Max: Fury Road, the avengers, and a lot of other films. I worked for

Guardians of the Galaxy in 2013. Me and my husband Dave, he is also a

stunt man. I doubled for a character with a shaved head, she wasn't very

attractive, but they must have liked my personality! We were living the

dream, sharing common interests, working on amazing films. Everything

was perfect, really. After we got married, I took on a film shooting

in South Africa at the time. Resident Evil, it was supposed to be

a really fun job but it ended up changing my life. On the first day

of filming, I had to do a motorbike stunt, where you drive in a straight

line towards an oncoming camera vehicle. It was supposed to lift the

camera up and over me, but it didn't. It did not lift in time, so

it slammed into my head. I was working in Malta at the time on

Assassin's Read, I was out the night before, it was my birthday. It all

changed in an instant. My heart stopped. It's a phone call as a

stunt performer that you never expect. The left-hand side of my

face was completely torn away. My shoulder, on the left-hand side, was

pulled back and all of the nerves were ripped out of my spinal-cord. I

dropped to my knees and was devastated because of what happened

to her. I was in a coma for nearly three weeks, and when I woke up from

it, the first person I saw was Dave. We had only been married four

months, and it was a very intense situation, thinking I was going to

lose her before our lives had even started together. I could not walk,

I can look in The Mirror so I had no idea how my face looked. But what I

could see was my arm, I could not move it. They told me it was

paralysed. The amount of operations she had, the production company's

insurance ran out very quickly. Since then we have had to self fund,

luckily the film community have got behind us. When you don't have the

support committee have people who understand and help along the way.

Obviously, paralysis of the arm and intense pain that she is in...

Living with the armour, the dead weight, it's really hard. I had a

really big decision to make. I was so badly injured that I decided to

amputate the arm. She has an incredible attitude. If it's not

going to work, I don't want it. So I have to cut all the sleeves off

all my tops off, even my jackets, I have had to cut the sleeves off. I

have had to learn to do things in a new, inventive way. One day Dave

came home and I was trying to cook. I asked her to make sure she

actually cleaned her feet, that was all! I haven't really had time to be

angry or too depressed about it, I have been focussed on trying to get

better. Everything's changed. We had dreams of riding our motorbikes, but

we do cruise driving. My car has been adapted to drive with one arm,

it gives me independence and confidence. So I have been able to

go back and to martial arts. The hardest part was to make my brain

work together with my body again. On this bit of paper is an invite to a

martial arts tournament. We are going to enter you into that

tournament. Against able-bodied people, I think it will be fantastic

for to you do. Despite obviously the challenges that she faces every day,

she attacks it the same as she attacked everything before.

Ultimately, it's about creating our new future together, I am sure

whatever it is it will be amazing. So, we will get through it.

Really inspiring attitude there. Olivia went into hospital today for

another operation on her collar bone. We wish her all the best with

her continued recovery. Colm, with the world you work in stunt

performers are there all the time and make films look so great. What

are your experiences with stunt doubles or performers or risky

moments on set? Yeah, you are reliant on a really good stunt

co-ordinator to say what the level of risk is. Some things are beyond,

you know, I mean the danger level is so high that you shouldn't be doing

it. That's happened on a number of occasions. Anything other than a

walk across the room to me is a stunt. Absolutely. No, no, I am not

one of these guys who does, I do my own stunts, you know. Not at all. I

am always happy to bring the stunt person in. But I do remember one -

it wasn't considered a stunt but on the film Con Air, with John Cusack,

we were in the helicopter with two marine pilots, and we were doing

this, at Salt Lake City airport, doing this take-off and going very

close to a building. Oh! And then, I remember, I said to the pilot at one

stage, are we going close to the building? He said, yeah, actually,

yeah, I am glad my flight instructor is not here to see that because he

would not allow that at all. LAUGHTER

Why are you doing it? And I mean... Sure, yeah. But directors will want

to get... They push it. Get closer into that and we actually when we

got back down to the ground, we said we are not going that close ever

again ever. No stunts in Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. It's at the Apollo

Theatre in London. You have been rehearsing and today you did the

second run-through. How is it shaping up? Well, you know, usually

you have four to six weeks rehearsal before you open a show, this is a

big play. It's a classic. Tennessee Williams at his best. And we are -

this is our 4th week of rehearsal, going into the 5th. We are at that

terrifying point where you are just off the book, you think you know the

lines and you start running the play. It's sort of just it really

is, they're nerve-racking moments, you suddenly think, because you have

been rehearsing the play in pieces for weeks, you know, this five pages

there and whatever. Now you take a deep breath and do the whole thing,

which is like 70-odd pages. It's terrifying. We had our second

run-through today. Did it go well? Yesterday, the first run-through was

terrific. Today was, for me, particularly, was a bit more... A

bit rocky. Because I had to come to see you guys, I got out of the

rehearsal room quick, I haven't spoke to the director yet, I am sure

I will get notes in the morning. The role that you are playing, it kind

of revolves around you. You are playing Big Daddy. How does he

compare to the other characters that you played? Hollywood, gangster,

comedy, you have done the lot. Yeah, I haven't done a play for ten years

either, by the way, which is a long time not to do a play. There is a

sort of a tradition in the theatre, if you go seven years, you never do

a play again. Right. Are you entering into this with tredpidation

then? What seems to happen is every ten years or so, because you get

offered a few place, but a play comes along that you can't resist,

you know. It's like the last one was with Kevin Spacey at the Old Vic, it

was a classic of the American theatre. This comes along, you know,

you can't dodge it. To play Big Daddy is probably every character

actor's ambition in his career. It's an offer I couldn't refuse. Some

people won't know the story, it's set in the deep south in the 1950s

but it's got really up to date themes. Very much so. People may be

familiar, older audiences, with the original with Paul Newman and

Elizabeth Taylor and then there's been many TV versions made. Loads of

adaptations. And over the years, but the play itself, it's always, I

think, been a bit sort of muted when it's been brought to the screen. The

play is very, very raw. When it was written in the early 50s, I mean, it

was way ahead of its time. It deals with this, I play the character Big

Daddy and Jack oh conplays my son who is drinking his life away

because of some disappointment we can't quite get at and his wife is

trying to get him off the bottle and trying to get him to have a kid. And

his wife is played by Sienna Miller and their relationship is the

central relationship of the play really. But to find out why is this

guy drinking himself to death, what is going on here, it's really, the

play wades into that. It's to do with his friendship with his college

friend and it's to do with the fact that some people thought it was

maybe a homosexual relationship. All that is the suppression of all of

that. That may seem to make the play dated but despite the fact that we

have gay marriage and equality, there's still a lot of people who

repress. This is about, not just sexual repression, but repression of

so many levels and dysfunctional families. It's a brilliant play. It

really is. It's at the Apollo Theatre, it's only on for 12 weeks,

get your tickets quick. If you had to pick out a leading

actor from the natural world - you'd probably choose the great ape

or maybe the brown bear - which hopefully you'll be coming

face to face with this summer, But if it's depth and range you're

after, there's no better character Here is the proof.

Dartmoor in Devon. 368 quash smiles of rolling hills. Wooded valleys and

rugged Moorland. This dramatic landscape is also home

to a true master of disguise. Hidden somewhere in this picturesque meadow

is a species that manages to hide in an ingeneral outside way. It's

evolved to look like something else and John Walters has been studying

it for the last 21 years. To film this elusive insect the cameraman is

using specialist camera equipment. At first glance, the insect we are

after looks like a bee but don't be fooled. It's a moth. A narrow

boreded bee hawk-moth to be precise. It's having a rest. It's warm at the

moment. It's actually too warm for them, they often sit around for a

while and as it cools they'll start to feed again.

Unlike most moths, this species only flies in the daytime. They're able

to beat their wings 100 times a second, twice as fast as some

hummingbirds. Our footage has been slowed down by

more than 50 times to show the wing beats. These moths are able to hover

whilst feeding so they can make a hasty retreat from predators and the

nectar they feed on is particularly important. They have a high octane

lifestyle, they need a lot of energy. It's a fat body there and

they have to power that body around the meadow. Not only do bee

hawk-moth bear a striking resemblance to their namesake but

they even fly quickly like a bee making their less vulnerable to

predators whilst on the wing. And they're so convincing, even the most

experienced naturalist can become confused. This is perfected, so much

so, that people watch this moth for 21 years, I still get fooled by it.

The open grass land here peppered with flowers is the perfect habitat

for these nectar hungry bee impersonators. For the few weeks

they're active they'll scour the meadow for most of the day. In the

spring the males will be looking for a mate. They can pick up the scent

of a female from around 50 metres away.

They'll make a beeline straight for her, and once located, they'll mate

for around 30 minutes, which isn't unusual for a moth.

In a few days' time, the female will lay her eggs. Her work is now done.

She makes way for the next generation of bumblebee imitators.

In a few weeks' time the eggs will hatch, the caterpillars emerge, and

the whole thing will have come full sieshgle. -- circle.

Thank you, Miranda. Many surprising facts in that. What are you

referring to? Something different. Let's have a word on The Journey.

You are playing Martin McGuinness with Timothy Spall playing Ian

Paisley. The likeness is incredible with you and Martin McGuinness.

Yeah. The film is out at the moment, it was an extraordinary experience.

Often you don't get a family am where you have two actors just

basically in a car talking to each other for quite a large chunk of the

film. Working with Tim, he is a brilliant actor and we are very

proud of the film. It's not so very - it's also funny. There is a lot of

humour. These two guys became known as The Chuckle Brothers. There is

actually a lot of and I was relieved when I read the script there was a

lot of humour. To lighten it a bit. It's set at the time when McGuinness

made his move into politics and it's based around a fictional car journey

where they begrudgingly took together. Let's look at a clip.

OK. I do know your face. Who are you really? This is Dr Ian Paisley.

Leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, founder and moderator of the

Free Presbyterian Church. Cool. And you, Sir? This is Martin McGuinness,

former Chief of Staff of the Irish Republican Army. Allegedly. There is

an interesting story about the earpiece. Yeah, the earpiece,

Freddie playing the driver, he is actually an MI5 plant in the story.

He is driving us to the airport and they also have video surveillance on

us, as well. They've sort of set this up hoping that we will talk to

each other. Back at base you have Tony Blair and the Irish Prime

Minister Bertie Ahern and MI5's top man played by John Hurt. That's

where we will leave it. It's out now.

Tomorrow Angela and I will be joined by Sarah Millican and Joanna Lumley.
