:00:00. > :00:15.Welcome to the final day of The One Show Music Festival. This week, we
:00:16. > :00:35.have witnessed live pop... Classical... Contemporary... Soul...
:00:36. > :00:40.And tonight we top it all off with the legend that is Robert Plant! We
:00:41. > :00:46.could not be more excited, only because he is a true rock god... Not
:00:47. > :00:52.only because his album has received rave reviews... But also because the
:00:53. > :00:57.man plays fiddle with only one string!
:00:58. > :01:28.Hello and welcome to The One Show. What is wrong? Let's see your boots.
:01:29. > :01:34.Come on! They are from Mexico. Tell me they are snakeskin! No, they are
:01:35. > :01:40.rubber boots. Tonight we have Robert Plant and also this week, the great
:01:41. > :01:47.North run and even gnarly of the One Show Music Festival. It is a big day
:01:48. > :01:53.for you, Robert. Your new album has been reviewed. The Guardian has
:01:54. > :02:01.given it four stars! Yes! Four stars! But we have reviewed it here
:02:02. > :02:06.and would like to exclusively reveal to you live on BBC One... Pretty
:02:07. > :02:12.good, I know you are happy with the four stars. How many are we going to
:02:13. > :02:17.give it? Put them up! I never thought I would see this in all my
:02:18. > :02:24.life as a singer! I used to sing to about three people at the back of a
:02:25. > :02:29.labour club in Birmingham. It looks like these people have been
:02:30. > :02:34.strategically placed behind me! Not at all! And the reason they are in
:02:35. > :02:38.colours of the rainbow is because you are going to be performing your
:02:39. > :02:47.song, Rainbow, at the end of the show. We had a chat downstairs and
:02:48. > :02:53.you said it could be your last album. Is that the case? It was just
:02:54. > :02:57.a bad day! My companions and I come we made great music together for a
:02:58. > :03:02.long time on and off, and we made this great collection of songs, and
:03:03. > :03:06.then you have to start becoming a hooker and telling everybody what it
:03:07. > :03:11.is all about, so I just thought, I can't do this any more. I don't want
:03:12. > :03:15.to do this any more! I want to play sing-a-long stuff in the back of
:03:16. > :03:18.Birmingham again. So I got a bit tired of it for a bit but not tired
:03:19. > :03:26.of the music. Just of the concept of hooking it. But now you are having a
:03:27. > :03:32.good day. Today is Friday and I want side! OK! Is it true you are driving
:03:33. > :03:42.straight off after the show? And you have time to your first pint of
:03:43. > :03:47.cider for round 9:45pm? Yes. If we told there was a way -- told you
:03:48. > :03:53.there was a way you could eat all of this and not put on weight, we
:03:54. > :03:57.suspected you might be interested. I am! There has been assigned to
:03:58. > :04:02.victory through and we have been to a lab to look at whether a forgotten
:04:03. > :04:05.food plentiful on British shores could be the answer.
:04:06. > :04:12.In the UK today nearly 25% of adults are classed as a base and by 2025 it
:04:13. > :04:19.is expected this figure will have risen to 40%. -- OBE. Wouldn't it be
:04:20. > :04:23.great if people could eat something that will control their weight?
:04:24. > :04:28.Scientists think they have found a wonderful substance that, if added
:04:29. > :04:33.to our food, could help us in the battle against a bee city. It is
:04:34. > :04:37.something that can be found on all the beaches around our coast.
:04:38. > :04:42.Seaweed! There are many different righties of seaweed but this one,
:04:43. > :04:46.kelp, contains high levels of a fibre called alginate which is all
:04:47. > :04:50.ready used in trace amounts in foods as a thickener and stabiliser. But
:04:51. > :04:54.there is another amazing property of this which has got scientists really
:04:55. > :04:59.interested. Its ability to reduce the amount of that we absorb from
:05:00. > :05:02.our food. Doctor Matthew Wilcox of Newcastle University is studying the
:05:03. > :05:08.fact and absorption properties of alginate. Is it all seaweed that
:05:09. > :05:20.have this? No, we are specifically interested in this, alginate. So it
:05:21. > :05:24.is in the extracts of brown seaweed. Matt produces this powder of
:05:25. > :05:30.alginate after putting the seaweed into a formula. What is it that it
:05:31. > :05:34.does? We're showing that by adding just a small amount of alginate,
:05:35. > :05:45.this can reduce the amount of that absorbed by the body. So it can
:05:46. > :05:50.reduce the number of enzymes that break down the fat by up to 80%.
:05:51. > :05:53.Glyceryl is small enough to pass through the wall of the intestinal
:05:54. > :05:57.into the bloodstream where it is carried away to be used as energy or
:05:58. > :06:01.stored elsewhere as that in the body. To test the remarkable power
:06:02. > :06:07.of alginate in reducing fat absorption, Matt build these -
:06:08. > :06:14.artificial gots. Each of them replicate hours complete with
:06:15. > :06:20.synthetic juices. To one we add ordinary bread and to the other we
:06:21. > :06:23.add bread mixed with the alginate. Each gut now contains the equivalent
:06:24. > :06:28.of a standard slice of buttered bread. Now we let digester run its
:06:29. > :06:32.course. Just like the human digestive process, it takes a few
:06:33. > :06:39.hours to complete. -- digester and run its course. Then we look at the
:06:40. > :06:47.fact produced in both samples. It is looking really good. One is pink and
:06:48. > :06:50.one is not. The presence of the pink shows the detection of glycerol and
:06:51. > :06:58.that is the breaking down of that. We have had lots of digester in fact
:06:59. > :07:05.so I have absorbed lots of fat. Alginate bread means there is less
:07:06. > :07:10.fat. Yes, it just passes out naturally. It stops the enzyme
:07:11. > :07:15.breaking down the fat. If you put alginate in, say, the bread in a
:07:16. > :07:18.bacon sandwich, it will reduce the amount of fat you absorbed from the
:07:19. > :07:24.bacon. But doesn't that mean you then just end up with bread that
:07:25. > :07:35.tastes of seaweed? Well, to test whether it turns the bread to taste
:07:36. > :07:40.like seaweed, I'm going to test them out. We have got alginate bread and
:07:41. > :07:45.ordinary bread. The thing is, will the people of Newcastle be able to
:07:46. > :07:53.tell the difference? Which one of these did you prefer? That one.
:07:54. > :07:59.Yellow plate? Green plate? The bacon on that plate tasted nicer but I
:08:00. > :08:05.like the bread here! The green plate with the seaweed is a clear winner.
:08:06. > :08:14.Previous tests show we prefer the text and firmness of the alginate
:08:15. > :08:18.bread. -- the texture. It also has the advantage of keeping the bread
:08:19. > :08:23.moist for longer. Because alginate is basically a tasteless powder,
:08:24. > :08:27.Matt and his team are trying it out in all sort of things from sausages
:08:28. > :08:33.to your guts. So very soon, you could find alginate-containing
:08:34. > :08:38.products in a supermarket near you. All right, thank you so much, Marty.
:08:39. > :08:45.We are joined by a dietician and nutritionist Azmina Govindji. I hope
:08:46. > :08:50.I said your name properly! You did it well! We're not saying this is
:08:51. > :08:55.kind of miracle cure. No. It is at its very early stages and it is
:08:56. > :09:02.interesting research. If you think about the psychology of it, people
:09:03. > :09:07.tend to eat more if you tell them it will absorb less fat. So we have to
:09:08. > :09:12.be careful. I understand there are manufacturers who are interested in
:09:13. > :09:17.it and in Japan there is a drink which contains it, which is good for
:09:18. > :09:21.the fibre, but currently the European labelling regulations will
:09:22. > :09:25.not allow you to say that alginate helps you lose weight or reduce fat
:09:26. > :09:32.absorption. So we cannot say that until there is a more solid
:09:33. > :09:36.scientific basis. And also, we need fat in our bodies. Yes. For every
:09:37. > :09:42.cell in your body you need this and you need to be able to absorb
:09:43. > :09:48.vitamins by absorbing fat. So we have to let the research developed
:09:49. > :09:54.and look at this. What is out there that could help us naturally to
:09:55. > :10:01.stave off getting too fat? There is a new product and ingredient called
:10:02. > :10:05.glucose manner. It helps you to lose weight if you have a certain amount.
:10:06. > :10:11.There is also an interesting plant from Brazil and it is a
:10:12. > :10:15.sweet-tasting plant, so that is a useful sugar substitute. And there
:10:16. > :10:19.is seaweed, which I think will come into the headlines a lot more. The
:10:20. > :10:22.benefits are exaggerated but it is rich in iodine and some of us do
:10:23. > :10:30.need more of that, so I think that will come onto the shelves earlier.
:10:31. > :10:34.And relative to sugar? Yes. We should be weaning ourselves on
:10:35. > :10:40.having too many sweet foods. Even though these are sweet tasting.
:10:41. > :10:43.Sugar is sugar cane as well. So it is about eating everything you enjoy
:10:44. > :10:48.in the right amounts, have a lot of righty, lots of natural colours on
:10:49. > :10:57.your plate and enjoy what you eat. -- lots of variety. Well, over to
:10:58. > :11:03.you. Having a bath in seaweed over there! I tell you what! I did not
:11:04. > :11:07.think the day would end like this! Duly is in the bath with me. We were
:11:08. > :11:17.just having a conversation about where we from Wales. -- Julia. What
:11:18. > :11:21.is it about this stuff? Well, three or skin, you can absorb all the
:11:22. > :11:28.goodness from it and all the minerals and so on, it is fantastic.
:11:29. > :11:36.-- through your skin. How many times a week do you do this? Probably
:11:37. > :11:40.three times. So you bathe in it and then you use the seaweed afterwards.
:11:41. > :11:45.Do you use it in the garden? I use it in the compost and in my cooking,
:11:46. > :11:52.so in cakes, biscuits, quiche, soups, cereal. I have to say, you
:11:53. > :11:59.are looking fantastic on it! Tell everybody the name of your new
:12:00. > :12:10.puppy. Seaweed! Here he comes. He wants a bit of the action! Burger
:12:11. > :12:23.with your seaweed? Back off, Evans! It is the seaweed, isn't it? Nice
:12:24. > :12:31.smell(!) Well, the great North run is the first race which will see the
:12:32. > :12:38.line. We sent Angellica Bell off to see what puts the word great in
:12:39. > :12:43.Great North Run. This will be the first race to see 1
:12:44. > :12:47.million people finish it. Even the marathons of London, New York and
:12:48. > :12:51.Boston haven't managed this feat. Not bad for a local fun run. It was
:12:52. > :12:58.all-star to by Brendan Foster, who decided to start a run in the
:12:59. > :13:03.north-east. -- all started by. If you go to the oven pics and the
:13:04. > :13:12.Championships, athletics and running is about extraordinary talent. -- if
:13:13. > :13:16.you go to the Olympics. Ordinary people doing extraordinary things,
:13:17. > :13:22.that is what it is about for me. It is about the people, really.
:13:23. > :13:29.Britain's biggest half marathon started and has grown over -- to
:13:30. > :13:33.over 57,000 participants, putting it among the world's biggest races. And
:13:34. > :13:43.this man knows the race like few others. 33 done, 34 coming up. I've
:13:44. > :13:50.never missed one. What is it that you love so much? It has become so
:13:51. > :13:54.much part of the fabric of the community. Every year, so many
:13:55. > :14:01.people turn out. I hope to run another 34 at least! I will be 100
:14:02. > :14:08.then! I will be there with you! I can see it! What does it take to put
:14:09. > :14:14.on an event of this scale? 270,000 bottles of water will be consumed on
:14:15. > :14:18.Sunday. 18,000 plates of pasta will be eaten the night before at the
:14:19. > :14:25.pasta party for all those running. Then there is the sugar rush. Over a
:14:26. > :14:34.tonne of jelly babies was handed out to runners on route in 2011. 228,000
:14:35. > :14:38.safety pins will be needed to pin the numbers on all the runners. Then
:14:39. > :14:45.there will be 28 miles of river needed for the finishing medals.
:14:46. > :14:49.Thousands of volunteers will be here on the day helping out and to top it
:14:50. > :14:58.all off, 42 double-decker buses will be transporting stuff to the
:14:59. > :15:02.finishing line. I am keen to speak to a couple of local lads to find
:15:03. > :15:11.out what this race really means to them. Are you tired? Yes! Why is it
:15:12. > :15:16.so important to Newcastle? It is just a world-famous race. People
:15:17. > :15:21.know about the city because of that run. It is a fantastic thing, a real
:15:22. > :15:26.positive endeavour. It is the people running trying to do good for
:15:27. > :15:33.others. You can't beat that. Jimmy, you have run it already. Sting, you
:15:34. > :15:40.haven't. Any tips? I have a 1 word tip - it is gasoline! I can't stay
:15:41. > :15:44.and talk. I've got to keep running. The event organisers are keeping
:15:45. > :15:48.very tight-lipped about which position crossing the line will be
:15:49. > :15:52.the 1,000,000th finisher, but seeing as I am running on Sunday, there is
:15:53. > :16:03.a good chance it could be me, so I had better keep running!
:16:04. > :16:12.Good luck to everybody. So many great causes are being supported.
:16:13. > :16:15.Robert Plant is with us this morning. Come on, a round of
:16:16. > :16:21.applause! Robert is here to perform, on our
:16:22. > :16:26.final day of The One Show Music Festival - he'll kick off Rainbow.
:16:27. > :16:30.On the red button, you can watch the rest of the set. We will try and get
:16:31. > :16:36.him to play two or three hours, no more than that! It is what we are
:16:37. > :16:41.used to. Your band are by the name of the Sensational Space Shifters.
:16:42. > :16:45.You describe them as the Dad's Army of rock'n'roll, don't you? Highly
:16:46. > :16:50.unlikely. I am talking about the road crew.
:16:51. > :16:54.Anybody who was here earlier when we ran through the numbers, it is just
:16:55. > :17:04.rock'n'roll, a crew, magnificent people. I mean the band and the
:17:05. > :17:05.crew, with rea kind of communion. The band
:17:06. > :17:10.crew, with rea kind of communion. crew are Dad's Army.
:17:11. > :17:12.crew, with rea kind of communion. realise it was the
:17:13. > :17:16.crew, with rea kind of communion. it was the band. Here she is!
:17:17. > :17:24.Freshly bathed. it was the band. Here she is!
:17:25. > :17:28.I do love your natural seaweed smell. It was not the band, it is
:17:29. > :17:34.the crew that are Dad's Army. We got that one wrong! It is rippling
:17:35. > :17:39.muscle and sensational sounds from another planet. Is it hard to get
:17:40. > :17:47.them together? No, not difficult at all. You offer catering. Brockley,
:17:48. > :17:51.all that stuff! We are great souls and we have
:17:52. > :17:55.all that stuff! a great time together. This project
:17:56. > :17:59.started about two years ago and it wasn't until about seven or eight
:18:00. > :18:03.months ago that we realised we have no new songs. We were trying to get
:18:04. > :18:09.a record deal with no new music at all. And we were playing far away
:18:10. > :18:13.and a guy I respect who runs a record company in New York, he came
:18:14. > :18:20.to see us playing and he said, this is amazing, but... I said, but!
:18:21. > :18:26.There are no buts! He said, where are the songs? So, we started
:18:27. > :18:31.writing. For him. Fancy that. We would have recorded songs we already
:18:32. > :18:36.knew. So, we worked together. It is great fun. It is very relaxed and
:18:37. > :18:40.everybody contributes very strongly. They pushed me forward because I
:18:41. > :18:45.have got a name on the tin, but, you know... You don't make great music
:18:46. > :18:52.if you don't work with great people! What is the biggest joy for you, as
:18:53. > :18:58.having written this album full of songs that you with perform whatever
:18:59. > :19:03.you want. The biggest joy is to get it right. It is like a weave because
:19:04. > :19:08.it's not the kind of what people would expect. I have made a lot of
:19:09. > :19:16.music in Nashville and I have worked a lot with modified my singing style
:19:17. > :19:20.quite a lot to fit in with another process, so, the music, I have made
:19:21. > :19:26.it was more reflective and when I came back to the UK recently, I just
:19:27. > :19:31.missed these guys and the way that they, they come from great places,
:19:32. > :19:37.from Massive Attack and from Cast, you know. It is strong, urban
:19:38. > :19:42.British music. It is exciting to hear you talking about it. It is
:19:43. > :19:46.good fun. Where it goes, it goes. Right now it will go around here,
:19:47. > :19:54.hopefully. Hopefully. It is a good place to play with all these
:19:55. > :19:59.buildings. It echoes a bit. . Well, Lully biand the ceaseless Roar is
:20:00. > :20:07.out on Monday. Only on The One Show would you find the lead singer of
:20:08. > :20:16.led Zeppelin sitting down to watch who inspired their names. The waters
:20:17. > :20:20.of lake Konstanz lap the shores A century ago the peace and quiet was
:20:21. > :20:24.broken. This German town was the birthplace of one of the world's
:20:25. > :20:33.most terrifying weapons of mass destruction.
:20:34. > :20:47.This was the home town of one of the most important pioneers of the
:20:48. > :20:54.history of aviation. His name Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin. He spent his
:20:55. > :21:00.year in the Army. He became a respected General. He was
:21:01. > :21:06.engineering genius and his dream was to invent a new kind of flying
:21:07. > :21:09.machine. After he retired in the 1890s the Count was able to turn his
:21:10. > :21:21.dream into a reality. His invention would open a new
:21:22. > :21:27.window on the world. And not being a modest sort of
:21:28. > :21:40.fellow, the Count indulgently named it after himself.
:21:41. > :21:57.On 2nd July, 1900, three years before the Wright broshts took
:21:58. > :22:02.flight, the -- brothers took flight, the Count and four of his crew took
:22:03. > :22:09.to the air. Early Zeppelins were up to 450 feet long and nearly 40 feet
:22:10. > :22:14.wide. Their frames were covered in fabric and covered with bags of
:22:15. > :22:19.hydroagain. They became known as "flying cigars." So was the Zeppelin
:22:20. > :22:23.imimmediately popular with the public? There are many people who
:22:24. > :22:28.are fascinated about these huge airships. It was a possibility to go
:22:29. > :22:34.to the air - that was very new during this time and not everybody
:22:35. > :22:42.can do this - only balloons and the Zeppelin was a clever marketing man.
:22:43. > :22:46.By early 1914, Zeppelins had flown hundreds of luxurious flights to
:22:47. > :22:54.destinations across Germany. This was the world's first airline.
:22:55. > :22:59.Wow! This is the way to fly! What strikes you is it feels like you are
:23:00. > :23:06.floating on air. But as the storm clouds of the First
:23:07. > :23:10.World War gathered over Europe, the Count found a more sinister use.
:23:11. > :23:17.This is also the possibility to use it as a weapon and that he can give
:23:18. > :23:25.his country, his nation, a place between the other great nations. In
:23:26. > :23:28.January 1915, Britain lacked a properly developed antiaircraft
:23:29. > :23:36.system. The Zeppelins began to raid the country at will.
:23:37. > :23:42.The bombing was indiscriminate. During 50 raids over three years,
:23:43. > :23:47.557 men, women and children lost their lives.
:23:48. > :23:53.The Zeppelin had brought death and destruction to a new arena of modern
:23:54. > :24:00.warfare - the home front. The Count's flying cigar had a new name,
:24:01. > :24:06."The baby killer." Britain strengthened its air defence with
:24:07. > :24:10.search lights, observation posts and antiaircraft guns T battle for
:24:11. > :24:18.supremacy in the air turned against the Zeppelins. Within months, 30 of
:24:19. > :24:22.Germany's 34 Zeppelins had been shot down.
:24:23. > :24:25.The Zeppelin proved not to be the invincible weapon the Count had
:24:26. > :24:30.dreamed of. After he died, in March 1917,
:24:31. > :24:36.Britain overcame the Zeppelin threat.
:24:37. > :24:37.And today, the Zeppelin is a peaceful pleasure cruiser once
:24:38. > :24:49.again. Rob continue telling that story on
:24:50. > :24:52.the air. In the golden days led Zeppelin played in Denmark. We could
:24:53. > :24:58.not use the name Zeppelin because we would bring the name of the family
:24:59. > :25:04.into disrepute, so we called ourselves, the Nobs!
