05/04/2016 The One Show

CHEERING Hello and welcome to the One Show

with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones. Now, when we have a

multiple award-winning Hollywood show on the One Show we like to

celebrate their finest work with a montage. But tonight's guest is not

just any old Hollywood star. He is a Hollywood Don. What are you

thinking? I am thinking a Hollywood "Dontage". That is unacceptable. I

am only going to say this once. Get out.

I am your boss. If you can't fry it, I don't eat it.

I am a god darn American icon. Please welcome Don Cheadle!

APPLAUSE Can I get a clip of that? We will

send you the DVD. We saw you in some great roles in the Oceans 11

trilogy, Hotel Rwanda and Crash. But you are here to talk about Miles

Ahead which is based on the legendary musician Miles Davis. Can

you tell us how you got involved in the film? It is a funny story. It

had been swirling around, the idea of me playing Miles Davis by

different people. It had been mentioned to me over the years. And

then Miles being inducted into the rock 'n' roll Hall of the in 2006.

His nephew said are you guys ever going to do a movie of his life?

They said yes, Don Cheadle will play him. No one told me! Then we started

talking about ways to do the movie, what the tape would be and we

ultimately shook hands and said we would do it. It is lucky you agreed.

He didn't really ask! We will hear more about the new movie which is

your directorial debut as well and we will hear from Steve Pretty who

will be treating us to a Miles Davis inspired performance at the end of

the show. Thank you for the opening. Now, dog owners lend us your ears.

Has your canine had the chip? It has been compulsory Northern Ireland

perform three years. From tomorrow it will be compulsory for all dogs

over eight weeks old to be micro-chipped.

Here is what you need to know. With 9 million dogs nationwide, there is

no doubt we are potty about our pooches. That is a lot of walkies.

But each year, 100,000 dogs end up as strays. Fewer than half of them

can be traced back to their owners. You would hope that someone

somewhere is missing this fella. Finding out where he comes from is a

bit of a Finding out where he comes from is a

he is not micro-chipped. And it is the same story for many of these

strays brought to this pound in Middlesbrough by dog wardens like

Lee Hooker. What is the story with this fella? He was picked up as a

stray in Middlesbrough. We were unable to find an owner because he

had no microchip. No one has come forward for him. It is extremely

sad. If you take on a dog, you take when a responsibility. These

microchips will be compulsory. What difference will it make? We will be

able to check on the owners and contact them as soon as possible. It

will make a huge difference. Before meeting us, Lee picked up another

stray. This one is chipped and a quick scan provides him with the

details he needs to trace the owner. It is the dog warden in

Middlesbrough. Can you see me back on this number immediately please. I

have your dog. This dog should soon be back where he belongs. What is

the story in Northern Ireland where micro-chipping has been compulsory

since 2012? The Northern Ireland executive says it is good news

because it means half of all strays are now reunited with their owners

can head with fewer than one in three before. Following Northern

Ireland's lead, chipping becomes law across the rest of the UK tomorrow.

They are getting a head start on this estate in Middlesbrough. The

UK's guest dog welfare charity the Dogs Trust has been running free

chipping events like this all over the country. It is a big hit today

with owners and dogs forming a rather noisy hue. Are you going to

get your microchip done? Do you think it is a good idea to have it

compulsory? Yes, definitely. The dog is not so sure. As long as the

owners do not have to get it done as well, I do mind! In just a couple of

hours, more than 100 dogs have been shipped and it is Lizzie's turn

next. I will just pop the needle in now. Good girl, Lucy. We will just

scan it and we will find a microchip number so we can see it is reading

correctly. That number is unique to her. If she went missing, the dog

warden of that would be able to scan it, find that number and all the

information you have given, we would be able to trace her back to you.

She went missing before. It will be easy to find her. It is all part of

being a responsible dog owner. These days, it is not just a dog that is

for life, it is the microchip as well. All of these owners can we

rest assured they will not be hit by a ?500 that local authorities can

impose if you do not your dog. But there are those who see a few bad

owners will simply ignore the law and get away with it. We are

concerned it will not be able to be forced properly because local

authorities have had such big cuts in their budgets. It will not solve

all issues like irresponsible dog ownership, dog theft and dog

attacks. If these strays had been chipped, they would probably be back

home by now. Remember this fella Lee found looking lost, he went home the

same day, all thanks to one of these.

We have been joined now by a wonderful bunch. This is Angellica,

by the way. This is Paula Boyden, a vet from the Dogs Trust. And look at

little Ivy who vet from the Dogs Trust. And look at

out more about microchip in shortly. Don, we

out more about microchip in shortly. with man's best friend because you

starred in the dog hotel. Let's remind ourselves. Georgia and

Lenny. They are the first two residents in this hotel, the Hotel

For Dogs. Dislike a reunion! Yes, many of these dogs were starring in

that film! It is like a reunion. How did that work with so many dogs? A

little Hollywood did that work with so many dogs? A

There is no way they could have so many that were all well-behaved.

This is live right now. We are doing what Hollywood cannot do right now.

LAUGHTER Come on, back here! Sit here. We

LAUGHTER heard in the film there could be

fines of up to ?500 if your dog is not micro-chipped. How will this

work? Within the legislation, if your dog is found not to be

work? Within the legislation, if you will be issued with an

improvement notice. You will have 21 days to get your dog implanted. At

that point, if you don't comply, the fine will kick in. So there is some

leeway. How will they regulate this? It is all based on welfare and

trying to measure of a dog is lost it gets back to its owner as soon as

possible. It will be a passive enforcement. If somebody is found to

have a dog which is misbehaving, there is an opportunity to scan the

dog. What kind of response have you been getting? We have had a massive

response. Just today we have had over 1000 calls from people wanting

to get their dogs implanted. That is a good sign. If we want to chip our

children, how does that work?! Did you chip your dogs? We did. It was

not mandatory, I just thought it would be fun. There is a vet who has

raised concerns saying eight weeks old for some breeds is too young for

some dogs. Is that something people should be concerned about? The

benefits of microchip in our huge. The chances of an adverse event are

very low. But what I would say is rather than just ignore the

situation, go and speak to your vet. There is room in the legislation for

vets to issue an exemption certificate if they feel that

implanted at a particular time it would have an adverse effect. Are

you all right? I am fine! The crew is getting involved. It is lovely.

It is feel-good to have dogs around. And let's show a picture of your

dogs, Don. Have we got it? There is candy and Sasha. Brilliant. Thank

you, Paula. Just a reminder it all starts from tomorrow. Don 'snew film

is based upon the life of music legend Miles Davis. Before we hear

more about the movie, let's have a listen.

APPLAUSE Well, Don, we have heard the story

of kind of how it happened, you said you got in contact with the family

and the whole thing has snowballed from there. We have seen the film.

It was so intense, your performance. How did you manage to capture that

persona? Did you talk to the family a lot about what he was like as a

man? Yes, and there is tonnes of research and footage of miles. His

nephew who toured with him and his son, Aaron, I spent a lot of time

with them and Francis as well who is depicted in the film. They opened

their lives up to me and gave me the opportunity to ask anything I

wanted. I saw old movies and clips and footage and heard tapes. And you

were already a fan so you knew quite a lot about it before you started on

the project? As a man, he is not the man you would expect to play that

kind of music, because the music was so beautiful and lovely and yet the

man himself, he was quite a full on man. I think we all everything, we

are going be honest. If you played a tape of all of it, there are

probably places where we can see ourselves spiking and dipping. There

is sort of the mystique about who ears and -- who he is and the

publicity about who he is. There is a big beating heart in there and a

sensitivity. There is that sort of enigma which makes him fascinating

as well. Let's have a look at you not just acting like Miles Davis but

performing like him as well. Hold that. And that group, we should

get them back in. One, two, one, two.

APPLAUSE Were you playing that there? I am

actually playing but we will use Miles Davis sound. I learned the

solos and I started taking trumpet about eight years ago when I knew

this would be a thing. How often do you play the trumpet now? I play a

lot. I play every day. If I do not have it, I would miss it. I did not

expect to walk away from the movie still having an affinity but I miss

it if I don't play every day. It is a nice thing for you to take away

from it I suppose. He had such a colourful life as a musician yet the

film focuses on five specific years in the late 70s. Why did you choose

that period of his life? It focuses on the very back part of that time.

It is an opportunity to create a narrative around when he came out of

that quiet period, and back onto the stage and back into his rightful

place as a musician. So it is also very met Miles to play what is not

there. The space between the notes, he was very big about that. So we

wanted to create a story that in a way external lies to this internal

journey, and had the unreliable storyteller himself turn his -- tell

his own story and put the horn to his lips and play the movie. Does

not 100% strictly accurate? It is 100% truthful, wall-to-wall. Tonnes

of facts. It is like any biopic. We have this image which is just

extraordinary. This is a scene you include. He is basically covered in

blood. He has been refused entry to his own gig. He walked out onto the

sidewalk to smoke a cigarette and was assaulted by a police officer, a

couple of police officers. You directed this, you co-wrote it

and what have you. Andy Rose some of the music. What was it like for you

to direct it? We know that you got in touch with a friend of yours,

George Clooney. George said to stay healthy, do push-ups and drink

water. His tip was to do push-ups! Get sleep, it is really an injury

and test. You can't go down, there was no sick day that I could take.

You really have to know you are going to put your shoulder to the

wheel and push through. We had the script, we had a great cast and crew

but I was wearing a lot of hats. It is some piece of work. Thank you.

You do a lot of push-ups, so you would be all right! You can see

Miles Ahead in cinemas from April the 22nd. Another feature of the

film is that it was part of the crowd funded, relying on donations

from the public to make it possible. Many churches rely on donations and

we hear 100 are using a mobile phone app to boost income, so is it the

end for the collection plate? Sara Mack is near Aberdeen to find out.

We have all been there, no change for a tip, no money for parking or a

pound for the shopping trolley but perhaps the most difficult thing of

all is when it comes to a church donation and the possible

embarrassment of not having any money when the donation plate comes

around. The excuse or shame of having no cash to give may be on its

way out because the church has gone high-tech. You can now donate using

an app on your mobile phone. Tony Stephen is the Minister at the

Banchory West Parish Church. Where does the money go? We invest in

people, we try and spend very little on it on things like the building

and heating, we keep it to a minimum. 110 households give

regularly, by a standing order, envelopes you can sign up to, which

is asked to budget and beyond that we have an offering all that goes

round. It is symbolic when it is passed around, do you think people

feel guilty if they pass it on? It is free will, if you are giving

another way or you are a visitor and you aren't comfortable, just let it

pass you by. What do you think about the new app? Any way of using

technology that gets people interested can only be a good thing.

They say that you should never talk about religion, politics or money

but what about the politics of talking money with religious

congregations? Here goes! Did you give money to the plate? No, I

didn't, because I give quarterly through the bank. Yes, I did today.

How much? ?2. 120 a month. I don't feel guilty for not giving because I

am giving time. Have you heard about the app which means you can get

am giving time. Have you heard about think it would be more

with you all of the time. I might be tempted to forget, whereas a

standing order would happen regardless of circumstances. If you

used the app, would you also put money in the all? I think I would.

Is that just to be seen to be doing it? As the plate went

Is that just to be seen to be doing thought, I don't have any money. I

had nothing to put in the plate, is that OK? I had to borrow some

had nothing to put in the plate, is from the sound man! Quite a

surprise, how many people didn't put money in the plate but it is good to

surprise, how many people didn't put see that despite this technology

coming online, the tradition of passing around the plate still

exists. Unsurprisingly they had invited her back because donations

doubled on the day. Amazing what happens when you bring a camera

crew, especially the generous sound man. Matthew mentions that your film

was crowd funded. Was it a quick process or was it a long one to get

the money? It is interesting because it goes in a wave and they told us

to expect that at the beginning we would have a lot of activity and

then it would plateau and we feel like we aren't going to make the

number and then, before the campaign is going to close, we will probably

exceed what we are asking. People want to be part of something that

pushes it over the top, they are watching, they want to see the red

line going. We know that, I'm sure that you have sat in many hotel

rooms and you have had many questions about this movie where

ever you go so we thought we would do something different for you to

mix it up. We are going to mix it up and let the audience choose, the

canine members of the audience! This system, you put the information onto

the database, the microchips, so we have put some questions on the

microchips. Excellent. We haven't really, I'm just saying it for

production! Paula, can you choose a dog that you like the look of?

Basset hound, Labrador. Basset hound. Up to you. There we are. Who

was the first role you ever played when you were a puppy? It is great,

it is a cross breed answer because the first role I played was a rat,

in Charlotte's Web, and I crossed it! -- crushed it. Another breed of

dog. What about the other basset hound? OK. Here we are, here is her

question. If you could scratch one film from your CV, which one would

it be? Tricky question, the one that you elegantly just showed, the Hotel

For Dogs! We loved it! Whatever! Any reason for it? No, the flea thing...

You have the bulldog or the Labrador. The Labrador. She has

actually got puppies at home. If you were a regular, do you go for the

tummy or behind the ear -- tickler. I don't feel I should have to pick

that! Fair enough. We will go for the bulldog, the only one left.

Ready for the question? She is! Her question is, what makes you really

grumpy? When my owner doesn't give me breakfast soon enough. Yeah, I'm

right with you. Thank you, Don. Over the last couple of years,

transgender people have featured in many films and TV shows like

EastEnders and the Voice leading to a better understanding of the

issues. A Home Office found funded study now estimates there could be

as many as half a million transgender people in the UK and

here are some of their stories. If someone finds out that I'm trans,

people ask if I've had the surgery, they want to know about my genitals.

I can feel people looking at my hands and my feet. The first time I

told someone I was trans, I was deathly afraid. Britain in 2016,

eight diverse place with tolerance defended as a national value but

what is life like for the estimated 300,000 transgender people in the

UK? This is Monro Berghdahl, 28 and a modern trans icon. Confident,

beautiful and glamorous but it has been a long journey for her to get

this far. This is me when I am three or four. I had about 50 My Little

Ponies. I had a great childhood before anybody told me who I was

meant to be. Unhappiness was around the corner. Aged 11, the free spirit

arrived at an all boys school that was known for its rugby. High school

was the first six levels of hell. I was bullied because maybe I wasn't

aware of how a boy should act, how a girl should act and I think I didn't

register certain things about gender. I feel really emotional.

Growing up in quiet suburbia with the social media age a few years

ago, Monroe struggled to understand why she didn't fit in at school and

didn't feel at ease within her body. Looking back in hindsight, all of

the signs were obviously pointing towards being trans but I didn't

know what it was, I had no idea. Growing up, there wasn't bad

visibility. Now, media representation is getting better. If

I was to grow up now, I could discover what I was sooner. For many

years, Monroe suffered from a psychological mismatch between the

gender she was given at birth and how she felt inside. I knew from

when I was literally two years old that I was in the wrong body. I was

miserable, I hated how I looked. Looking in the mirror and suddenly

going... I made my family cover up the mirrors in the house. I did not

want to grow old, being a man, I couldn't envisage that but I could

envisage being a woman. In her early twenties, Monroe lived in Brighton,

meeting trans people for the first time and she knew what was possible

and within a couple of years she began her physical transition from

male to female. It is a process and it takes time. The conscious

decision to start my transition was the conscious decision for me to be

happy. These are my hormones, I have been taking them for five years.

When I first started I was frustrated that the changes weren't

happening. I wanted things to be bigger but it takes time. To receive

medical treatment like hormone therapy, Monroe had to boot of a

psychiatrist that she was indeed trans. You have to have a

confirmation from your employer that you are dressing and living as your

identity. Essentially you have to be living as a woman for two years

before they give you hormone tablets. Personally, my transition

has been the hardest thing. I was worried about how people would

react, how I've been received by people. It is a whole new world and

it is terrifying. I found it difficult to go to the supermarket.

I was afraid to have my curtains open. I have a constant fear of

being attacked. It is even more difficult being trans and not

transitioning. No matter what I faced it is worth it. Going to the

shop and having somebody at the counter going, all right, mate, it

costs this much, it feels my heart with joy. When I look in the mirror

I feel the most at peace I have ever felt as an adult. You need to own

everything about yourself. I'm happy, every day is exciting. I feel

honest, living the life I want and who I am. I wouldn't change it for

the world. I have found a place that makes me the most happy and that is

being Rhiannon, a trans woman in 2016. Thank you so much to Monroe

and the people who made the film possible. That is almost it for

tonight, tomorrow, Paul O'Grady and Ian Hislop will be here. Don it has

been a budget to have you here. Where are you going next? We are

going to the States, we are going to screen the film in New Jersey at a

jazz festival and then I'm back in London in a couple of weeks with

Marble. Thanks. In -- marble Dyer Marvel. Now it is Steve Pretty with

the Theme.
