:00:22. > :00:27.Put the tennis back on the monitor! Hello. Welcome to the One Show on
:00:27. > :00:33.BBC Two with Alex Jones and Chris Evans. Tonight's guest is the
:00:33. > :00:38.coolest guy on earth, according to Jay-Z. And he is an inspiration,
:00:38. > :00:48.according to President Barack Obama bar. Here's the start of Luther and
:00:48. > :00:54.
:00:54. > :01:01.Pacific Rim and a former wedding DJ. Idris Elba. How about that?
:01:01. > :01:07.APPLAUSE I love it. Look, Andy Murray, we
:01:07. > :01:17.have Idris on the sofar. How come they all put you in the cool dude
:01:17. > :01:20.
:01:20. > :01:27.club West Jamaat it is what we do White House? Yes. David Cameron was
:01:27. > :01:33.there, too. It was like, let's invite all the cool British people.
:01:33. > :01:40.You got David Cameron in there. Congratulations. They were great. I
:01:40. > :01:48.said to him, what is this about, that you do not like me on The Wire?
:01:48. > :01:54.He said, I love you, but I like Omar. But Luther, that is my show. I
:01:54. > :01:59.was like, you have seen Luther! Idris Elba will be putting on his
:01:59. > :02:06.wedding DJ hat tonight. To explain, Angellica Bell is a mystery
:02:06. > :02:11.location. Good evening. We have to be very quiet because upstairs are a
:02:11. > :02:15.very happy couple, because they have just got married. They are enjoying
:02:15. > :02:21.their reception. After the speeches and food, it is the disco, and this
:02:21. > :02:24.is where Idris comes in. The guests do not know that the bride and groom
:02:24. > :02:30.have invited Mr Elba to be part of their special occasion and make a
:02:30. > :02:34.special appearance. So, Idris, you have to take over the disco and play
:02:34. > :02:39.their first dance. It is a big decision. You are going to choose
:02:39. > :02:49.the song and they have no idea what you will choose. Join us when we
:02:49. > :02:55.surprised the guests. Wait. Really? Seriously, that is a big deal. How
:02:55. > :03:05.long has it been since you wore your DJ hat? I had a party in London for
:03:05. > :03:05.
:03:05. > :03:10.several weeks and I am going to be set to DJ for several weeks. Do you
:03:10. > :03:13.have travel and weather? That is what I have on my DJ show. Tell us
:03:13. > :03:19.what your wedding surprise was and we will have a look at the end of
:03:19. > :03:25.the show. We have cops and robbers now with a great twist. This crime
:03:25. > :03:32.drama is not a whodunnit or a howdunnit, but it is a who done what
:03:32. > :03:35.exactly? In the 1970s, London was on its way
:03:35. > :03:39.to becoming a thriving financial centre and was a magnet for thieves.
:03:39. > :03:46.An armed robbery was committed on average every five days. Among
:03:46. > :03:53.those, one stands out. On September the 13th, 1971, staff at this branch
:03:53. > :03:58.of Lloyds turned up to find that their bank vault had been ransacked.
:03:58. > :04:03.To this day, mystery surrounds the details of the crime. More than �1
:04:03. > :04:06.million in cash and valuables was stolen. Perhaps the most surprising
:04:06. > :04:11.revelation is that the police could have stopped the raid if they had
:04:11. > :04:16.heeded the warning of an amateur radio enthusiast, who just happened
:04:16. > :04:21.to be listening in. One mile away, in Wimpole Street, Robert Rowland
:04:21. > :04:29.was listening to his radio. He stumbled on something unusual, a
:04:29. > :04:33.first in British criminal history. was tuning the radio and I suddenly
:04:33. > :04:38.heard this voice. In fact, I can the member what the man said. He said,
:04:38. > :04:45.we have got about 400,000. We will let you know when we are coming up.
:04:45. > :04:50.I thought it was cigarettes. What did you do? I phoned the police and
:04:50. > :04:54.said to the officer, I think I am listening to a robbery. They did not
:04:54. > :05:04.take me seriously and they said, if you hear any more funny broadcasts,
:05:04. > :05:19.
:05:19. > :05:24.why don't you record them? Which bobbies did nothing. And when
:05:24. > :05:29.detectives from Scotland Yard heard it, they reacted differently.
:05:29. > :05:34.Eventually, they searched 750 angst in the Greater London area, although
:05:34. > :05:38.I had advised them it was probably only one or two miles away because
:05:38. > :05:44.the radios, in a built-up area, did not work much further than two
:05:44. > :05:49.miles. How did the gang do it? First, they leased a shop two doors
:05:49. > :05:53.down from the bank. Over the course of three weekends they built a long
:05:53. > :05:59.tunnel from the shop, below the neighbouring restaurant, to the base
:05:59. > :06:02.of the bank vault. High up on the building opposite the bank, a fourth
:06:02. > :06:08.member of the gang kept watch on the keeping in touch with a
:06:08. > :06:14.walkie-talkie. They came up against three feet of reinforced concrete
:06:14. > :06:19.covering the floor. Given the all clear, they blew a 15 inch hole in
:06:19. > :06:23.the floor and squeezed through. Eventually, the gang got away with a
:06:23. > :06:29.vast hall of cash and valuables. All of the newspapers in Fleet Street
:06:29. > :06:33.boast with the story the next morning. It was a three-day wonder.
:06:33. > :06:39.But on the fourth day, the strangest thing happened. The story just
:06:39. > :06:49.arrayed. Jeff Edwards was a crime reporter at the time. -- the story
:06:49. > :06:52.died. Fleet Street was left floundering, really. Why?There were
:06:52. > :06:56.all sorts of fantasies about secrets of the royal family being in some of
:06:56. > :07:04.the security boxes, compromising secrets about prime ministers and
:07:04. > :07:10.politicians. These rumours only recently surfaced in print. There is
:07:10. > :07:14.an embargo on any information being released until 2054. Again, that
:07:14. > :07:19.indicates there must have been something that was considered at the
:07:19. > :07:22.time really supersensitive. Despite the information blackout, Benjamin
:07:22. > :07:26.Wolff, Thomas Stephen, Reginald Tucker and Anthony Gavin were
:07:26. > :07:34.eventually convince did two years later for a combined total of 44
:07:34. > :07:40.years. -- eventually convicted. Of the hall, just 231,000 was ever
:07:40. > :07:46.recovered. The mastermind was never identified, and those files have yet
:07:46. > :07:50.to be opened, so it is no wonder rumours abound. For such a long
:07:50. > :08:00.embargo to be placed, it would have to be a matter of national is it to.
:08:00. > :08:02.
:08:02. > :08:05.It has to be something as serious as that. -- nationals or at. In one
:08:05. > :08:09.final move, the gang thought it would be funny to goad their
:08:09. > :08:18.pursuers. A message on the Wall said, let Sherlock Holmes tried to
:08:18. > :08:22.solve this. I love John Sergeant. Only 41 years
:08:22. > :08:28.until we know what those thieves stole. If you can hang on, Idris,
:08:28. > :08:36.you should buy the rights for the movie. Yes.That is what it said on
:08:36. > :08:40.the autocue. Luther is back. It is the scariest thing on TV this year.
:08:40. > :08:47.I checked the front door three times after the first episode. Proper
:08:47. > :08:55.scary. Why does it seem to be more gritty than the other two bastion
:08:55. > :08:59.Mark we had such a long hiatus. The first season, we were finding
:08:59. > :09:05.ourselves, second season, getting to know. We thought, if we are going to
:09:05. > :09:08.make people wait for so long, we had better come out with a bang. It is
:09:08. > :09:17.darker than it usually is, but it is still good, gripping. Gripping
:09:17. > :09:25.stuff. There is a lot of controversy about your car, the Volvo. It is
:09:25. > :09:29.just because it is a bit of a rubbish car. That is not the
:09:29. > :09:39.controversy, that is just a fact. The controversy is what model of
:09:39. > :09:41.
:09:41. > :09:46.Volvo is it? It is a Volvo 740, I believe. It is a very sensible car.
:09:46. > :09:53.I love it, it is gorgeous. The first car that I showed up in in the first
:09:53. > :09:59.episode was a Granada Scorpio. That is classy. I cannot wait to see what
:09:59. > :10:03.is coming next. Talking of cars, Luther is huge in America, and the
:10:03. > :10:09.Americans have fallen in love with it. You are the third biggest BBC
:10:09. > :10:17.export behind two other shows. Can you guess which ones they are?
:10:17. > :10:27.One Show? There is a clue in the last subject. Top Gear. And Doctor
:10:27. > :10:31.
:10:31. > :10:35.Who. And now Luther? No way? think so. So it is not the One Show?
:10:35. > :10:42.For those who missed the first episode, let's have a clip. Here you
:10:42. > :10:48.are, making me feel dizzy. He was killed because he could connect the
:10:48. > :10:51.murders to the death of Emily Hammond, Danny Lane and Craig Lane.
:10:51. > :11:00.He was bludgeoned to death in his home, so if he knew the killer for
:11:00. > :11:06.what he was. We know he was fixated with the creeper murders. You don't
:11:06. > :11:11.think he didn't keep tabs on his suspect. I need you to trawl through
:11:11. > :11:21.his browser history, phone records. If you get the feeling something is
:11:21. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:29.not quite right but you are not sure what it is, look for that. You on
:11:29. > :11:36.our producer of the show. You must have a handle on whether it
:11:36. > :11:41.will be the last series? I have a sense of whether I want to do more.
:11:41. > :11:47.The situation is that we want to take it bigger and make it into a
:11:47. > :11:51.film. We might do a TV special here and there. But we know we have done
:11:51. > :12:01.three good seasons, so it is best to take it bigger. I think the audience
:12:01. > :12:04.would like it. But Luther is not going anywhere. Long live Luther!
:12:04. > :12:10.The second episode of Luther is on next Tuesday at nine o'clock on BBC
:12:10. > :12:16.One, and we will talk about your big film, Pacific Rim, later. What do
:12:16. > :12:19.you mean, Murray is out? Only joking, the tennis is still going.
:12:19. > :12:25.How about a Foodie Friday without Jay Rayner? We did not let him in
:12:25. > :12:29.today because we thought he might be whiffy after making this film.
:12:29. > :12:34.During the 1940s, no one particularly enjoyed the restrictive
:12:34. > :12:37.wartime diet. This pub on the Isle of Wight at a particular problem.
:12:37. > :12:42.The pub catered for French sailors stationed here to hunt enemy
:12:42. > :12:47.submarines, and those Frenchmen craved an absent taste of home -
:12:47. > :12:55.garlic. Garlic was virtually unknown in Britain, so the pub landlord
:12:55. > :12:59.turned to an RAF friend who owned land in occupied France. Could he
:12:59. > :13:03.liberate a few bulbs? Indeed he could. The story goes that he flew
:13:03. > :13:09.back one night with a sack full of morale boosting garlic with which to
:13:09. > :13:14.charm the French sailors stationed here in cows. -- cows macro. From
:13:14. > :13:19.those few bulbs, mighty things have grown. They harvest up to 200 tonnes
:13:19. > :13:27.of it every year. That is 2 million bulbs of garlic. You can almost
:13:27. > :13:31.smell it from up here. Over 30 acres, there are 15 varieties,
:13:31. > :13:40.including the very one smuggled from Frantz. But the mightiest is in this
:13:40. > :13:45.field. So what exactly is this huge thing? This is elephant garlic. It
:13:45. > :13:53.has a six inch diameter. Is it as strong as the garlic we have at home
:13:53. > :13:58.in the kitchen? It has a garlic aroma to it, but not the heat.
:13:58. > :14:03.does garlic grow on the Isle of Wight so long? -- so well? We have
:14:03. > :14:09.strong light and an extended summer. There have been extravagant health
:14:09. > :14:12.claims made the garlic, said to be beneficial for blood, lowering
:14:12. > :14:16.cholesterol and even curing athletes foot. As for the story that garlic
:14:17. > :14:26.wards off vampires, it appears to be true. There are no vampires here
:14:27. > :14:27.
:14:27. > :14:35.whatsoever. Colin has a restaurant, and the chef dreams up new garlic
:14:35. > :14:40.recipes every week. Today's is no surprise, elephant garlic soup. But
:14:40. > :14:45.is it better to crush or to slice? What is the best way to break up
:14:45. > :14:52.your garlic? We find that if we pure ray or crushed, you get more heat
:14:52. > :14:58.from that. Then if we slice or chop, it becomes less pungent. And if we
:14:58. > :15:03.rushed, it becomes milder and more caramelised. Don't take this
:15:03. > :15:07.personally. Do you always smell of garlic 's I wreak of garlic. I go
:15:07. > :15:14.home and my wife tells me to shower straightaway. You have made
:15:14. > :15:20.sacrifices for this job. Colin, this is an amazing display. What have we
:15:20. > :15:26.got? This is the flowering of the elephant garlic in batter. We have
:15:26. > :15:32.tickled garlic cloves, roasted garlic, which you just squeeze and
:15:32. > :15:41.the bureau comes out. And we have a pea hummus. With garlic?With
:15:41. > :15:46.garlic. I have to try some garlic soup. Wow. That has aid the flavour.
:15:46. > :15:51.There is a lot going on there. like to think so. Of course, there
:15:51. > :15:55.is one lingering effect of garlic, a sulphuric chemical that produces the
:15:55. > :16:00.delicious taste also produces a powerful gas that paints the very
:16:00. > :16:03.air in your lungs. So you can drink milk or brush your teeth or chew on
:16:03. > :16:13.some parsley, but the only real way to deal with the smell is not to eat
:16:13. > :16:15.
:16:15. > :16:25.it at all. That is a lousy idea. Oh, just in. I love garlic. Don't
:16:25. > :16:25.
:16:25. > :16:30.you? Yes? I do like garlic, but it has a strong smell. Because we are
:16:30. > :16:35.on the eve of a heatwave in Great Britain, sorry, Scotland, hopefully
:16:35. > :16:43.you will get nice weather, to. It will be scorching in various parts
:16:43. > :16:52.of the country. Idris, you love garlic? Sort of.We were told you
:16:52. > :16:56.do. And ice cream? I love ice cream. And you love garlic. OK, I love
:16:56. > :17:06.garlic and ice cream. So here are some garlic ice cream. I use
:17:06. > :17:08.
:17:08. > :17:15.serious? -- are you serious? It really smells. It is not great, is
:17:15. > :17:23.it? I can see the slogan - have a lick of my garlic. That is not
:17:23. > :17:25.working. None of the show is working! Never stopped us before.
:17:25. > :17:32.saw a preview of your new film, the big summer rock buster, Pacific
:17:32. > :17:36.Rim. There are lots of themes running through it, such as
:17:36. > :17:42.brotherly Love, a father protecting his daughter. But to summarise it, I
:17:42. > :17:52.think it is giant robots fighting giants the aliens. That is it in a
:17:52. > :17:52.
:17:52. > :17:55.nutshell. OK, yes, it is. But there is a human story. And there is a
:17:55. > :18:05.theme about human beings destroying our world, but then coming together
:18:05. > :18:12.again to save it. I enjoyed it. But you are up against the big boys. Who
:18:12. > :18:17.are you up against? I think the Lone Ranger comes out soon. The summer
:18:17. > :18:27.blockbusters calendar this year has been massive. But I saw Pacific Rim
:18:27. > :18:32.
:18:32. > :18:37.yesterday. We had the Premier. Basham Premier. Here is the moment
:18:37. > :18:42.when you put one of your pilot in his place. What out of your pilot in
:18:42. > :18:48.his place. What about the finger acting. I am not about to tell you
:18:48. > :18:55.my life story. All I need to be to you is a fixed point, the last man
:18:55. > :18:59.standing. I do not need your sympathy or your admiration. All I
:18:59. > :19:05.need is your compliance and you're fighting skills. If I can't get
:19:05. > :19:15.that, you can go back to the wall that I found you crawling on. Do I
:19:15. > :19:22.
:19:22. > :19:26.make myself clear? Yes, sir.Good. You are such a cuddly guy in real
:19:26. > :19:36.life, though. You were wondering how to get the girls to watch that
:19:36. > :19:42.film, but there are two reasons. Yes. You are very watchable.
:19:42. > :19:48.what about the other guy? You said, he is hot. I didn't realise he is
:19:48. > :19:54.British as well. Yes, Charlie. He was in queer as folk, back in the
:19:54. > :19:59.day. And he was in a film called Green Street blues, played a
:19:59. > :20:04.hooligan. He is a good fella. Pacific Rim is out next Friday, 12th
:20:04. > :20:09.of July. Now but that mystery location. Angellica, can you reveal
:20:09. > :20:15.where you are? Yes, I am at Adlington Hall in Macclesfield, at
:20:15. > :20:21.the wedding of Ben and Melody. They know we are here, but their guest
:20:21. > :20:26.don't, so we are about to surprise everyone. Good evening! I am
:20:26. > :20:33.Angellica Bell from The One Show. You are live on the BBC, so mind
:20:33. > :20:37.your peas and cues. Obviously, we have the bride and groom over here.
:20:37. > :20:47.Let me scoot over here. Melody, you look or just. Is this your lovely
:20:47. > :20:49.
:20:49. > :20:55.fella? Nice to meet you. How has the day been? Fantastic. Average!
:20:55. > :21:01.you have your family here. Is this your mother? This is my mum. How
:21:01. > :21:09.were the speeches? Keen enough for you? Yes! She had to do one as
:21:09. > :21:11.well. We have some presence here from The One Show. We did not want
:21:11. > :21:21.to come empty-handed. We have got some flowers. And this is from
:21:21. > :21:26.
:21:26. > :21:31.Chris. Everybody, we have to be quick. We are here because Ben and
:21:31. > :21:37.Melody are massive fans of Luther. Did you watch it? Idris Elba is the
:21:37. > :21:41.guest in our studio in London, and he used to be a wedding DJ, DJ
:21:41. > :21:47.Driis. He will be choosing their first dance. He is taking over the
:21:47. > :21:57.disco. So we want to give him an idea of what you are like. Is Ben
:21:57. > :21:58.
:21:58. > :22:08.romantic? Um...Yes is the answer! Is he a good dance? No. He is a bit
:22:08. > :22:14.slow. So I. Well, Idris is choosing, so you just have to dance to it. We
:22:14. > :22:24.will set up the room and be ready to rock 'n' roll in five minutes time.
:22:24. > :22:31.I have got a great song. But have we got the great song that you want?
:22:31. > :22:41.What about I love big butts? That is a great song! Is that not going to
:22:41. > :22:41.
:22:41. > :22:48.work 's are we still on? You have permission to change that decision.
:22:48. > :22:52.I have a great song for them. This is Britain's biggest selling
:22:52. > :22:55.back recording artist. He is a Grammy winner, has a MOBO lifetime
:22:55. > :23:03.achievement award and an honorary doctorate. His name is Leslie
:23:03. > :23:06.Charles, but you probably know him as early ocean. He is sometimes
:23:06. > :23:11.mistaken for an American singer, and although his first hit was the
:23:11. > :23:18.Motown influenced Love Really Hurts, it definitely started in the
:23:18. > :23:26.East End of London. Born in Trinidad is Leslie Sebastian Charles, he came
:23:26. > :23:30.to England at the age of ten. What does this area mean for you?
:23:30. > :23:38.Everything. It is the area of my growing up, the area of my youth,
:23:38. > :23:43.the area of my writing my first hit song. My parents brought us to this
:23:43. > :23:50.country full of ambition to give us the opportunities we would never
:23:50. > :23:56.have had in the Caribbean. How big a part did music play in your life
:23:56. > :24:00.back then? Always played a big part. Before I was able to talk,
:24:00. > :24:06.literally, mum used to sing while she was ironing, so I used to sing
:24:06. > :24:11.with her. Did your parents accent you wanting to be a musician?
:24:11. > :24:15.don't know what they expected me to do. There were not many options
:24:15. > :24:19.after school, because I was not qualified for much. But I was not
:24:19. > :24:22.lazy, and I got a job in the rag trade in the East End. In those
:24:22. > :24:29.days, the East End was full of factories, so I was never out of
:24:29. > :24:33.work. Cutting cloth in a tailoring business by day as Leslie Charles
:24:33. > :24:38.paid the bills, but at night he was learning his trade as a musician and
:24:38. > :24:46.trying out a variety of stage names. I had the name piggybank. I had the
:24:46. > :24:56.name Joshua. I don't think many people have had as many names. Sam
