05/03/2018 The One Show

APPLAUSE

Hello and welcome to

The One Show, with Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

With awards season in full swing,

tonight, we are excited to be

launching our own awards.

Recognising and celebrating

all of those staff who go

the extra mile in the NHS.

We'll have all the details on how

you can take part in a moment.

After the uncertainty of travel

plans last week, we wanted a guest

would come no matter what and we had

a good chat.

Yes, and we think we

nailed it!

Put it down!

You chose the wrong family!

She is here, thank goodness!

She is here, thank goodness! Please

welcome the new Lara Croft in Tomb

Raider, Alicia Vikander!

Raider, Alicia Vikander!

We alluded

to the awards season, did you watch

them?

When I grew up, I had a

tradition of setting my alarm clock

and I would go out in the middle of

the night. But I have been any tour

now promoting our film so I had one

night when I slept, I have been so

jet-lagged. But I woke up in the

morning and I did like most people.

You had a look online! You could not

go because you had a hot date at The

One Show tonight. That is the wake

the cocky Proms balls eye! You are

in the Academy, you would win up of

Best Supporting Actress. You have

seen the films. What was your Best

Film?

I was also a very big fan of

The Shape of Water because the

direction was so brilliant. But

Dunkirk was fantastic.

I agree, and

would you agree with Best Actor,

Gary Oldman?

Yes, very happy to see

that award.

His performance as

Churchill who was away!

Might as

well do the best actors!

Yes, it was

very difficult because I thought

that social rolling in one of my

favourite films of the year Ladybird

was fantastic.

And best lighting?!

We would do them more by the rest of

the show!

Last week, during the extreme

weather, we once again saw just how

far NHS staff are prepared to go

to give patients the care they need,

working extra hours and,

in many cases, walking to work

through the snow and ice.

Now, in the year the NHS turns 70,

we're giving you the chance

to say 'thank you'.

We know that in local hospitals,

surgeries and in every corner

of the NHS, there are people who go

beyond the call of duty -

not only saving lives,

but transforming them

with their care and compassion.

So tonight, on your behalf,

we are launching The One Show

NHS Patients' Awards.

Angela is going to be explaining how

you can take part in a moment.

First, she's been to Chester,

to find out what a difference

a 'thank you' can make.

Every 24 hours, more than 1 million

people are seen by some part of the

NHS. From routine checkups, to

critical surgery, it is a system

that we all rely on.

But it is the 1.5 million NHS staff

and hundreds of thousands of

volunteers who day after day provide

the vital backbone to the

organisation. And often leave us

with a lasting impression.

That is why we want to give you the

opportunity to say thank you.

I would like to thank Marie O'Brien

who was my midwife throughout my

pregnancy with ribbon.

I really like Becky, Nikki and Fay,

who are nurses here, because they

have looked after me well and made

sure I was not in too much pain.

I was completely broken, they put me

back together again.

The nurses and doctors are very nice

because they give me toast.

She came and did not say a word, she

put her arms around me and is knew

she totally understood the place I

was in.

So what does a thank you mean to the

staff here?

Thank you really helps. We have a

thank you board and the cards get

displayed. Seeing what people have

written helps you to remember no

matter what the target is all these

other processes, they are human

beings and we are just another human

trying to help them.

You spend a lot of time with the

people in this ward?

Some weeks, you

can be here three long days a week,

12 hour shifts. I go home to my

little boy, I do not see my children

as much as the patients, they are

like family and we become really

close.

When somebody says McCrickard

to, what does that mean?

Everything,

it makes everything worthwhile. --

somebody says thank you. Time is

pressured in the NHS and we never

feel we give enough time so when

they thank us for giving our time,

that means an awful lot to me

personally.

I think that is what professionals

in health care live for, it gives

them the feeling that they doing the

right thing. It gives them

encouragement. So when we put in

different circumstances, I think

those memories are very important.

Thank you for helping me through a

safe delivery, thank you for your

help and care over the past 11

years! Amy Chaumont! Thank you for

the help bringing my baby into this

world.

Times are tough in the NHS

and it is hard work, but when you

get this, you think of this is what

we are doing it for!

I am always -- I have always wanted

to stop a train! You are one of the

unsung heroes in the NHS because you

go about doing stuff that is not

being a nurse or a doctor, do you

think people appreciate what you do?

Certainly, yes. Do the children to

you?

You get comments. Like the fat

controller!

Do they mean that to

you?

Yes!

Thank you.

We came into

the hospital about 2.5 weeks ago it,

very poorly. We will hopefully going

home today but things went, they

took a turn for the worse, and we

have combat abuse winner.

Again who

doing marvellous job. Do we say

thank you often enough to the staff

at the NHS?

No, I don't think we do

and we should do. There is no words,

perfect, wonderful.

One person very

keen to say thank you today is

Maggie, her partner Bill spent seven

months as an inpatient here but

there was one day in particular that

was very memorable.

Bill suddenly

asked me to marry him after 20 odd

years of being together. After he

had been seriously ill and we still

did not know which way things would

go. The ward Sister manager Julie

arranged everything in a matter of

days. We had a room decorated.

Wedding cake, food supplied.

How

special was that day for you?

Very

special. Bill is now being treated

at another hospital but Maggie wants

to say thank you to Julie in person

for going that extra mile for both

of them.

Hello, Maggie. All right?

There is

not enough words to describe how

much I would like to thank you.

Bless you! Give her a hug!

Julie has

had me cry on her shoulder more than

once!

I know. For the staff here,

The One Show NHS Patients' Awards

could really make a difference.

It

is an acknowledgement of the hard

work the NHS does and it is a real

boost to morale. It is a wonderful

idea.

Thank you for everyone who

took care of her of the NHS. Are you

trying to say thank you?

Any opportunity to say thank you!

People are e-mailing him already and

I'm sure that will be here with

details of how to nominate. I am

here to find out some incredible

stories. Lincolnshire was incredibly

snowy and you three or went above

and beyond.

and beyond. Amy, you could see the

snow and you could not get your car

round?

What happened next was a lot

of my team had already made it into

work, I work with adult inpatients.

I thought, I need to put my wellies

on and take a work -- a walk into

work and make sure patients get

cared for and have the teamwork

approach. How far away do you live?

About eight miles.

You walked that?

We're looking at the footage, how

long did it take?

About three hours

on my first day.

To walk into work.

Amy, that is incredible. When you

got there, there was a team to help

you and carry on with the care, but

what happens then, you did not go

straight home?

No, myself and most

of my team stayed all night. We did

kind of a 24-hour shift. We walked

home the next day.

Another eight

miles. It is absolutely remarkable,

it is.

Applause.

Applause.

Helen and Zoe? One of our

young people needed to go to a

funeral quite a distance away. We

took that person, we took that young

person.

This was an important part

of their treatment?

Yes, they really

wanted to attend and we wanted to

make that possible, even though it

was a bit scary, well vary scary.

The journey should have been a

couple of hours. To get there was

about three hours, just over, and a

return, about five hours.

Very

scary. Zoe, I can imagine the

family, they were just unfounded you

were there?

It was not enough banks

from the family. Every opportunity

they could. Not only was it Helen

and I's job, it was a team

collaboration. We, myself, I sat

with the patient all the way through

and my job was to make sure they

were calm and safe, make sure Helen

was OK, I was constantly calling

back to the base to make sure

everyone was happy with the

conditions. If at any point it was

dangerous, we would have turned

round. Clinical and nonclinical,

everybody has been supporting each

other, the wards. It is not just the

ward you are on and you do your

shift, everything has gone out of

the window, everybody comes together

and works together as an amazing

team. I am proud to be part of

Lancashire partnership foundation

trust.

Thank you to everybody for

what you did last week. But this

goes way beyond last week. It is

time to find out now how you can

nominate these wonderful people for

our NHS Patients' Awards.

It is a coincidence we are launching

those awards. But it is high time

these angels are recognised.

She has

personal experience. I had a

situation a couple of years ago when

a very close family member of mine

had to go to hospital in London and

we stayed there for a couple of

days. I met some absolute angels. On

those days. I am so happy to hear

you now have this award and thank

you so much over there! And your

father is a Doctor? Yes, so I know,

I had been in hospital since I was

very young and I see what people put

in.

Listening to this, those three

wonderful women, it they all made

the headlines and so many others

like them this weekend. At what we

forget very often, what they

represent is the ethos, the attitude

that everybody working in the NHS

has, to not just a job but their

vocation. And as members of the

public, it was lovely to see on the

notice boards in the hospital, and

they must be replicated all over the

country, those cards saying thank

you. But this is our opportunity on

the The One Show with these awards

with the entire nation to say to NHS

staff, thank you, because you do

that kind of thing and you have that

attitude. Right the way through the

year, three and 65 days a week.

So

we have five categories, talk us

through each one.

The five

categories, the important thing

about each of them, this is an

opportunity for people to say thank

you for something very special. It

may be a triple heart bypass, the

paediatric ward that saved your

baby, and orderly, a nurse, a

volunteer who sat with somebody at

their bedside at a very important

emotional time in somebody's life.

These are the things we want to hear

about, the stories which really,

really touched people and made a

difference in your life. As a

patient. Because someone in the NHS

did something way beyond the normal

and did something absolutely

exceptional. Our five categories, we

start with children and young

people's are award. Anybody under 18

from a newborn to a toddler, a

teenager and usually the paediatric

word -- Ward is where they do

wonderful work and a lot of people,

we will be inundated with fabulous

things. And young people themselves

who want to say thank you. Well,

they can, but say it through their

parents. I will tell you about the

voting later. Healthcare Award is

the broadest award and this is a

category in which patients and

families can award doctors,

consultants, a anaesthetist, a GP,

anybody working in the area and

chests who does something above and

beyond which touches you and makes a

difference to your life. The Nursing

Award, what it says, nurses,

district nurses, midwives, all of

them have done something absolutely

outstanding to really make a

difference to your life and

impressed upon you just really what

it means to be in the care of the

NHS where people are prepared to do

something different.

It is not just patients and families

that can nominate people for this,

but also colleagues within the NHS.

The NHS is full of people who have

given a lifetime of service. They

may be medical or non-medical, but

they have gone the extra mile. They

have been there through thick and

thin. They may have retired, but a

lifetime achievement award is for

people who think that these are

special individuals who get

something to the NHS and to the

patients. Our final award is the

unsung

hero award. You saw my friend

Geoffrey on the Thomas the Tank

Engine train. He is indicative of

thousands of people who work in the

NHS. They are the porters, the

cooks, the orderlies, the cleaners,

people on reception, the volunteers.

They all support the medical staff

as well as the patients. It is an

opportunity for the public to say

thank you to them.

How do people

nominate? This is important, because

it is the story and impact it has

had on a person and their family.

Very much so. It is very easy, just

go to The one website and click on

The One Show NHS patients award logo

and up will come all the terms and

conditions, which I am not going to

go through because there are so

many. But right at the bottom, there

is a box you take and that will

bring up the page on which you can

make your nomination. Just tell us

the name of the person, and why you

want that person nominated. You

don't need to go into intricate

medical details. We want to know the

story, the emotion, the moment that

said to you, that person is special

and I want to nominate them because

they might be the winner. It will be

easy for some people still say, I

want to nominate the entire cancer

ward. We want the individual. If you

can't run under an individual's

name, go back to the hospital and

ask -- if you can't remember an

individual. Just ask, who was that

nurse or doctor or orderly? If you

are under 18 and you want to

nominate someone, you must do it

with your parent. The other thing is

that if you want to nominate on

behalf of a patient, it is important

that you get that patient's

permission to make that nomination.

All the details are online. We are

going to be inundated. We will have

a big awards ceremony night.

The

important thing is the closing date,

midnight on April the 5th. So we

want all those nominations in.

I

will make my nomination.

Come and

give an award out!

Now, from action scenes in the snow

to action on the big screen,

Tomb Raider has been rebooted

for a new generation -

so let's see Lara Croft,

doing what she does best.

Do you really want to do this,

little girl? Let's just go home.

That looks incredible. We saw it

this afternoon, Alicia, and we were

shattered just watching you in

action. You never stop moving.

She

needed some help patching up!

When

you see yourself doing stuff like

that, does it take your breath away

that that is you?

Well, it reminds

me that I trained a lot to be able

to do the physical stuff that Lara

does in this film. Maybe I ought to

go back to the gym.

But this is a

role that you have wanted to play

since you were a little isn't to be

honest, that was like another

universe.

I used to play a lot of

games. And I loved adventure movies

like Indiana Jones and the mummy

films growing up. So when I had the

call asking me if I want to be part

of a film like this, and when they

said it was a rebooted version on

that felt like it was something new.

But it is so full on and I am sure

there are not many more roles that

are more forlorn than this.

Well, I

hope we are moving into times where

we will be surprised firstly at

female characters in these films,

which is definitely a big change.

You did a lot of your own stunts as

well.

That was one of my favourite

things about being part of a film

like this. I have always been

curious about the detailed work out

how you put together these stunts

and action. I used to dance before I

started to act, so due to that, the

physical aspect really intrigued me.

We were watching you and I thought,

I have never seen arms like that on

a girl before.

a girl before.

It goes away so fast!

What was the regime like? How did

you get into a state to do those

stunts?

I actually looked to a lot

of female athletes. I also met a lot

of stunned women in the industry

over the past few years. I was not

able to do a poll up or live my own

weight, and that is part of who Lara

is, the fact that she climbs all

these walls and jumps.

It is like

the Olympics. You should try the

heptathlon!

Plus a bit of film

magic, but I did about four months

of training in boxing, rock

climbing, swimming, archery.

We

don't want to give too much away,

but give us the rough story of this.

It starts in the UK?

It does. She is

a very British character, as we

know.

know. I played the games as a child,

but I wasn't aware of the rebooted

games that this film is based on. At

the beginning of the film, we need

her not at her manner, but she has

decided her dad has disappeared the

seven years and she's trying to come

to terms with what happened to him,

but also not take the easy path and

follow his steps. She wants to

figure out her own footing in the

world like young people do. And she

wants to fight for her own destiny.

That is when she's kicked off on

this adventure.

We loved it. The

only thing I was disappointed in was

that you were this brilliant men

lead and then everybody else apart

from two minor roles were men again.

I did get to work with Kristin Scott

Thomas.

She is phenomenal.

But I

agree. It was like I was on this

island without enough women. I was

running around, looking for them.

But it doesn't take away from how

brilliant the film is. I can't wait

until my daughter is old enough to

watch. Tomb Raider is in cinemas

from March the 15th. Now, Alicia's

home country of Sweden is one of the

best places to see the aurora

borealis, but it is visible from the

UK as well. The question is, how do

those incredible colours light up

the dark sky? I am sure you know.

You know, I actually went hunting to

see them myself. I went to the ice

hotel. It has been on my bucket list

for my own home country for years

growing up. I tell everyone, it is

one of the most extraordinary things

I have done. In April, it will all

downbeat in the river again.

downbeat in the river again. I slept

at minus eight degrees. It was

fantastic, but no, I did not see the

lights.

Well, our science man Marty

Jopson will be your new best friend.

You may not know it, but we are

constantly under siege from a gain

deadly particles racing towards

Earth at over 1 million mph. This

onslaught comes hurtling towards us

straight from our own star, the Sun.

This all sounds pretty apocalyptic,

but why can't we feel this solar

wind and how do we survive such

lethal force? Luckily for us, Earth

has an invisible force field that

deflects most of the dangerous

particles. This shield is called the

magneto sphere. It's the area around

Earth controlled by the planet's

magnetic field. And whilst it

shelters us, it also creates one of

the most impressive phenomenon

Earth, the Northern Lights. I have

come to the university of Leicester

to witness how this collision in

space results in such a spectacular

natural wonder down here on Earth.

This is a planet Roller. It

compresses 93 million miles into

about 20 centimetres. The large ball

on this site represents the sun and

the smaller one is the Earth. In

fact, there is a strong magnet that

gives us the earth's magnetic field.

We then put a large voltage between

the two and that gives us a solar

wind. If you get the Earth, you can

see, at the Poles, there is a

purplish glow. In my miniature solar

system here, I have recreated the

northern and southern lights, the

Aurora. When the deadly solar winds

reach other's magnetosphere, some of

the charged particles get trapped

and are propelled down the other's

magnetic field lines straight

towards the Poles. And when they

reach Earth, they strike atoms and

molecules in our atmosphere,

releasing energy in the form of

light. And all this takes place over

100 miles above our heads. To see

the Aurora simulated in the lab is

fascinating, but nothing can beat

the real thing. This cameraman lives

in Caithness, right at the northern

tip of Scotland, the best place in

the UK to see the Northern Lights.

And we have set him the mission to

film the spectacle. By using a long

exposure and a sensitive camera, he

can capture them in all their

majesty. The colour of the Aurora

depends on which gas in the

atmosphere is being hit by the

energy funnelled down from space.

Oxygen produces an array of yellows,

greens and reds, whilst nitrogen

gives off blues, purples and ribald

edges. This awe-inspiring light show

is a reminder that we are connected

electrically to the sun. And the

beauty has inspired artists, writers

and poets. A few lines from the

ballad of the Northern Lights by

poet Robert William service gives us

an idea of that drama and splendour.

"And The skies of night were alive

with light, with a throbbing,

thrilling flame. Amber and Rose and

violent, Opel and gold it came.

Therein or, we crouched and sold

with our wild, uplifted eyes, charge

and retire, the hosts of fire in the

battlefield of the skies".

So now you have seen it from a TV

studio, Alicia. That is almost it

for tonight. A big thank you to

Alicia. Tomb Raider is in cinemas

from the 15th of March. Tomorrow,

Cuba Gooding Jr will be here. Before

we go, we have been talking about

our One Show NHS Patients Awards and

going the extra mile. Someone who

not only went the extra mile but

broke records doing it is Sir Roger

Bannister, who passed away at the

weekend. We will leave you with Sir

Roger, narrating his own world

first, with words from people he

inspired along the way.

As the gun

fired, Chris went into the lead and

I slipped in effortlessly behind

him. My legs seemed to meet no

resistance at all.

Such a historical

event. What an absolute gent and a

legend.

I was relaxing so much that

my mind seemed almost detached from

my body.

He was one of the cleverest

people I have ever met. And he was,

in equal measure, modest as well.

He created an iconic moment in

history and inspired me as a medical

student to pursue my dream of

becoming an athlete.

I felt that the

moment of a had come.

In four

minutes, he changed the world of

sport. Anything became possible.

COMMENTATOR: And Bannister has done

it, the mile in three minutes 59.4

seconds.

My effort was over and I

collapsed almost unconscious with an

arm on either side.
