these are Maestos Beja and Pluto Briosa. Two very beautiful, highly | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
trained and incredibly pampered horses from the world's most famous | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
riding school. We will be seeing them in action later. Mesmerising. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
They are go to go through reception and onto the news. We will be with | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
you shortly. Looking fabulous. If you are more than a plane person | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
than a pony person, we have the story of a daredevil landing that | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
will send shivers down your spine this evening. We are also going to | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
see how this lot here got on when we asked them to try and land a 737 | :01:00. | :01:05. | |
when they weren't expecting it. No easy feat at all. We will be | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
launching a brand new Children In Need award in the name of the late, | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
great, Sir Terry Wogan. A lot happening tonight. It's packed. To | :01:14. | :01:17. | |
our guest this is evening. The first one doesn't suffer fools gladly. | :01:18. | :01:27. | |
Let's play, The Weakest Link. Which broadcaster and former MP founded | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
the teddy bear museum in Stratford-upon-Avon? I don't know. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
He sounds really dull. Brandreth bran. Which former Blue Peter | :01:39. | :01:46. | |
Strictly Come Dancing dance was named as the male host of the One | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
Show. I know this. It's on the tip of my tongue. It's gone. Sorry. | :01:52. | :01:59. | |
Pathetic. Quizzes just aren't our thing, sorry. Do you think you can | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
do the One Show? I think we would be better at that. I don't think so. | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
How did you manage that? Clever editing. . I'm sure I never saided | :02:10. | :02:27. | |
that to either of you. You never came on. . Questions cut together. | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
You picked the part where I wasn't nice. You have an hour to make up | :02:33. | :02:40. | |
for it. OK. Can you actually give us another question we might know the | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
answer. Yes. No rehearse Al. Which fishie foodie and sport-loving Spice | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Girl are currently waiting in the wings? We know this, don't we? We | :02:50. | :02:59. | |
doo-doo. -- do. It's Rick Stein and Mel C. Hello. Did you see the | :03:00. | :03:09. | |
beautiful health authoritieses on your way in? Yes. We filmed... We | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
didn't film the riding stables in Vienna. At the time we thought - do | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
they have central heating, air conditioning? They were the most | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
fabulous riding stables I have seen anywhere. You are allergic? I am. | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
Sadly, yeah. My little girl is a big fan of horses. I think she is | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
watching, I should say hello. She would be happy to see them. They are | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
gorgeous. Beautiful. Incredible. We were talking about this daredevil | :03:40. | :03:42. | |
landing, we are going on to this topic. It's just the most | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
extraordinary story. When I take off and I'm up above the clouds I wonder | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
if I needed to could I run into the cockpit and land that plane? Do you? | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
Yeah. I don't think so. Well... Not judging by the opening. Carol | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
Vorderman has met a man who had to keep his composure when disaster hit | :04:03. | :04:10. | |
at 1,500 feet. As a trained pilot, I know that flying a plane is about | :04:11. | :04:18. | |
technical skill, confidence and perfecting every manoeuvre. I love | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
flying I have 350 hours of flying experience as a pilot. Imagine that | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
you are a passenger, with no flying experience whatsoever, and the very | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
worst thing happens - your pilot becomes unconscious. You have to | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
land an aeroplane. That's exactly what happened to John Wyeldie. He | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
was forced to take over a flight mid-air when his pilot friend | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
slumped unconscious at the controls. I thought maybe he'd fainted. Then I | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
tried to find a pulse. I couldn't find one. How were you feeling at | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
that point? I was a bit worried. Ice thought - here I am, miles from | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
home. What goes next? Mayday, mayday, mayday. John had never flown | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
a plane, let alone land one. He had been in a cockpit before. He knew | :05:14. | :05:17. | |
how to make contact with Air Traffic Control. These are the actual record | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
prosecution that day. That's everybody's worst nightmare. | :05:21. | :05:34. | |
John was told to change the planned landing spot and head for the larger | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
Humberside Airport which had an illuminated runway to guide him in | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
as night was falling. An RAF helicopter was scrambled to help | :05:44. | :05:51. | |
him. An emergency call was put in to flight instructor, Roy Murray. I was | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
about to sit down for my tea - can you get back to the airport. We have | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
a problem. How serious is it? We can't tell you. Get back here as | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
quickly as possible. Roy was tasked with talking John down safely. | :06:05. | :06:10. | |
Hello, John. How are you? Not in the best of spirits, over. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
For many it would have felt like an impossible job. Flying a plane is | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
incredibly complex and landing one is a huge challenge. I tried keeping | :06:26. | :06:32. | |
calm and keeping myself calm. When you panic it's over. Roy was trying | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
to get John to keep the plane at exactly the right speed and angle | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
otherwise it could stall and fall out of the sky. As the plane | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
approached the runway, Roy's worst fears were realised. When he stalled | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
it, I thought this is not going to go well. The port wing, the left | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
hand side, suddenly dropped. I could see this building go round and round | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
in front of me. I was worried then that I wasn't going to make it at | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
all. Just watch your height a minute John, you are down to 800 feet. We | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
would like you up to 1,000 if Sorry about that possible. . Something | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
went wrong and it dived to the left. Don't worry about it. I'm a bit | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
cheeky. John somehow managed to level the plane. After flying for | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
more than an hour and three unsuccessful atvrments at landing, | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
time was running ought. At 7.27pm John came in for his fourth attempt. | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
-- attempts. I was shaking like a leaf. I couldn't stop myself | :07:41. | :07:48. | |
shaking. My mouth was so dry. I would have given ?1 million for a | :07:49. | :07:53. | |
drink. You have made it. Well done. Thank God he's on the ground. That's | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
what I thought to myself, yep. The paramedics rushed to the scene and | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
found John's pilot friend had sadly died from a heart attack. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Remarkably, this terrible other deal didn't put John off flying. Two | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
weeks later he took up lessons. I think I am a lucky person. Being | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
optimistic, that is what it probably is. I'm really optimistic. My glass | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
is always half full. APPLAUSE. | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
Also, Roy, the controller on the ground. I know. How calm was that? | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
Amazing. The chief flying instructor you would expect him to be very | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
calm. Actually, the guy in the plane, he sounded sort of relaxed. | :08:45. | :08:53. | |
He needed a drink. I was so thirsty. You had Spice One. We did. If | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
anything happened in the cockpit. You three were on board. Picture the | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
scene, which one of you would take the controls? I would have a go, I | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
think. I thought you might say that, Anne. You would be OK, Rick? Not | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
really. Do you remember that ad, ten years ago, it ends with, "can | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
anybody fly a plane in." We will take to the skies again because we | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
have challenged these lovely people here not to land a light aircraft | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
but to have a go at landing a 737 passenger jet. It's a simulator, | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
just add that in. It's still really difficulty. That is later. Let us | :09:37. | :09:41. | |
talk about your documents, you have Anne Robinson's Britain coming out. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
You ask four very important questions.s tell us what the | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
questions are and why you choose them? OK. Are you a good enough | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
mother? Are you happily married? What's wrong with being ugly? Body | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
image and what's the point of your pet? It's out there. Heckles. The | :09:58. | :10:06. | |
one tomorrow night is, are you a good enough mother. You need to | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
listen and watch. Most of us think we aren't. It's actually a phrase | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
from a psycho analyst in the 50s who said, all you have to be is a good | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
enough mother so your children trust you. What happened is parenting has | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
become a sort of competitive sport. It has. And so I look at the | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
different methods of six families, I think. How they are doing. We won't | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
really know the results for about 20 years. You have the high-pressure, | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
high-performing family, religious family, home schooling family, the | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
no school until seven years old family. Work before kids. Yeah. We | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
will have a look at Kristina, mum of three who favours the diplomatic | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
approach. Let's look at her in action. Do you want to ask Maxi what | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
happened? I was telling you off because what ever you were doing it | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
wasn't very good. I didn't want that to be on the TV | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
because you might be embarrassed or something. OK. Is that what upset | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
you? OK. Could you have used a different tone of voice? It wasn't a | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
mean tone of voice. Oh, OK. Is all that negotiation necessary? Fine if | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
you are in conflict resolution in Afghanistan, but in Wimbledon, I'm | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
not sure it wouldn't be easier just to shut a few doors and go and pour | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
herself a stiff drink. APPLAUSE You don't hold back then. | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
You never do, do you? With all of these tech niece is there one that | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
really kind of disgraced you or really opened your eyes? I think | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
they... I didn't know you could home school without any supervision. We | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
swapped two sets of parents and one, it's exhausting looking at her, her | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
kids are in the gym at 6.00am. She stays with the other mum, they are | :12:01. | :12:03. | |
11. Every day they walk to the woods. They haven't had any | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
schooling. Every day they go to the woods. They go to the woods every | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
day. To play and learn? Who will go to Oxford or any of them? It matters | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
what your priority is. What it actually should be - are they happy, | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
are they content, I think? The thing is, you are right. You are flooded | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
with advice from the minute you announce you are pregnant everybody | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
has a snip pet they want to share with you. Did you feel pressure Mel | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
before you had your little girl? Yeah, I did. I think there is so | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
much more out there now. So many books that everyone seems to be | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
following as well. I remember reading stuff and things weren't | :12:42. | :12:44. | |
going the way it said it was supposed to go in the books. I was | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
giving myself a hard time. One day I thought - she's happy. I'm high | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
pressury. Why don't we just enjoy it. There was life for mothers | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
before Gina Ford. Rick is younger than me. In my day you had Dr Spock, | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
there is nothing to worry about. If you are worried go to the doctor. | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
That was it. Now there is this... It is so flooded. It's so important. | :13:13. | :13:19. | |
It's almost as if my generation raised the glass ceiling for work | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
and somehow we've smothered women when it comes to motherhood. | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
Absolutely. I don't know if we have time to open the can of worms of the | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
point of your pet. Let's try. Why did you decide to go there? Good | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
question. It's a good question because there is that bit in your | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
stomach. You have tightened your bottom of you will watch it and | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
think - where do I come in this? Is it is an uncomfortable question. I | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
have surrounded myself with animals. I love pets. I just love... You do. | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
Life without an animal aura is a strange thing for me. Don't you | :14:01. | :14:06. | |
think it's inexlickable that people havecrats? -- cats. You come round | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
to rabbits a little bit. Stand by on the email inbox everyone. What can | :14:16. | :14:20. | |
you talk to a fish about? Why would you have fish? You can find out | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
tomorrow. They sing to each other. I love them on a plate. I feel sorry | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
for them. Which bit do you feel sorry? When I look into their eyes. | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
We knew we would need longer on this item, we knew it. Anne Robinson's | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
Britain starts tomorrow at 8.00pm on BBC One. | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
We've discussed parenthood and there's one issue | :14:47. | :14:47. | |
that plays on the minds of all new mums - breastfeeding. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
We're always told that breast is best, but Britain has lower rates | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
of breastfeeding than anywhere else in the world. | :14:54. | :14:55. | |
Lisa and Vicky are brand-new mums. And are keeping video diaries of | :14:56. | :15:08. | |
their first weeks breast-feeding their babies. Here goes. Finally got | :15:09. | :15:15. | |
her to latch. She is now fairly happy about it. So why the interest | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
in mums doing what mums do? Well it seems here in the UK, they don't. | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
Only one in every 200 children here in the UK is breast fed to the age | :15:28. | :15:32. | |
of one. Maybe Vicky and Lisa's experiences can help us understand | :15:33. | :15:38. | |
why. Back in February, at a prenatal | :15:39. | :15:41. | |
class both were keen to breast-feed. I would like to be able to | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
breast-feed for between four to six months ideally. How I don't know if | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
this is going to be possible. I would like to breast food for six to | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
eight month, preferably, but I am not going to put myself under | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
pleasure if it is not possible to do so. How will really match up to the | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
theory? It is May and Lisa has just given birth to a baby boy. Arthur | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
James is two-and-a-half days old. He is doing well. He didn't though what | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
to do, it was a learning process for both of us. Her days and nights | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
revolve round breast-feeding Arthur every couple of hours. It is 7.30 at | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
night. I have been up since 6.30 in the morning and through the night. | :16:25. | :16:29. | |
My days are merging into one. Arthur's three weeks old today so we | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
have managed to do it. I am happy. Like most new mums lice is a's life | :16:37. | :16:42. | |
is tears and tiredness It is emotional today. Today. Hormones are | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
everywhere. Tutting Vicky gives birth to Olivia. This is her first | :16:48. | :16:56. | |
feed, at just over 11 hours old. But after three days at home, a worrying | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
development for Vicky and Olivia. Had a few complications in relation | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
to Olivia's weight. She dropped quite a lot of weight after being | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
born, and has not had enough breast fed milk, which has meant we are | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
back in, back in hospital. I caught up with Lisa and Arthur, | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
who is now 15 weeks old. So Lisa, it has been a rocky road for you, when | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
it has come to breast-feeding? Yes. We thought it was going to be he | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
would though what to do and I would. We didn't think it would be lots of | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
trial and errors. One day we are up and doing well then something | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
changes and we go back down again. Five weeks on from their early scare | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
I meet up with Olivia and Vicky. We were readmitted to hospital because | :17:54. | :17:59. | |
she lost 14% of birth weight. Describe what that is like to not be | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
able to breast-feed your own baby. You can feel you are not bonding. I | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
understand how some mothers go through postnatal depression, they | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
can't provide the milk. I must be understand that is traumatising and | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
it was for me a bit. Former midwife turned baby feeding specialist Clare | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
Byam-Cook isn't surprised by our low breast-feeding rates and think the | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
expert advice hasn't been entirely helpful. I think in recent years we | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
have concentrated too much on telling mothers why they should | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
breast-feed, and not nearly enough on examining why they are finding it | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
so difficult. They all know it is best and it is best, but only if it | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
is working well. It real I will do the babies no harm to be given | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
formula. They will still grow up healthy and happy. Have their | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
experiences changed our mum's plans to carry on breast-feeding. Are you | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
considering breast-feeding after a year? No I want my life back. I | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
understand the nutritional value but it is more the fact that I don't | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
know if I want to. I don't know. I can't think beyond the few months we | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
are doing now. I think I want to get myself back. I know my work | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
pressures when I go back mean I may not be home in time to do that. | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
Views echoed by working mums at the local breast-feeding support group | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
It is hard for women to express, running a household, going back to | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
work. It wasn't easy to get him on a bottle. When I go back to worker | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
needs to take milk from someone else. There is one thing all new | :19:39. | :19:45. | |
mums agree on: I love being a mummy but it is hard, the hardest job I | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
have ever done. And the expert from the film Clare Byam-Cook joins us | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
now. Welcome clear, we know that we are -- women find it hard to feed | :19:56. | :20:00. | |
but that problem is universal. Why are less women here in the UK doing | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
it than in any other country? I think, my real view is they are not | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
as well prepared. So, at the moment, I feel there is far too much | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
emphasis on why mothers should be breast-feed and not nearly enough on | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
teaching them how. Everyone glosses over the potential problems, now, my | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
daughter has just had a baby in Singapore, she got given a great big | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
booklet about breast-feeding and to my amazingment many pages was | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
devoted to common breast-feeding problems and listing all the common | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
problems and what do if it happened. We don't do that here we don't like | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
to mention any potential problems in case it frightens mothers. What if | :20:45. | :20:50. | |
you can't breast-feed? You are left feeling really rough about it. | :20:51. | :20:53. | |
Absolutely right. Funnily enough what the title of my book is and | :20:54. | :20:59. | |
What If You Can't because I think lots of mothers can't, and that is | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
why there is so much pressure saying you must do it. If the mother is | :21:04. | :21:08. | |
failing, she is made the feel a failure rather than the experts | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
recognising they are teaching her the wrong thing, which is why she | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
can't do it, or she can't, in which case stop making her feel a failure. | :21:18. | :21:24. | |
What would be a profile, I am taking over... Do I I have to answer this | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
question correctly. The profile of somebody who would give up with and | :21:31. | :21:36. | |
don't try any more.. The two main problems that can't always be sorted | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
is mothers not having enough milk, so lots don't even though they are | :21:42. | :21:45. | |
doing everything right and some babies can't suck properly, and | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
people say that breast-feeding is natural, so everyone can do it, | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
well, if you ask any farmer why he bottle-feeds some lambs it is | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
because they can't breast-feed. And when you speak to a darely | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
farmer he will tell you that not all his cows produce the same amount of | :22:05. | :22:07. | |
milk. Some o prize dairy cows and others aren't. This is what I find | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
with mothers and babies. One of the problems is as well, as a desperate | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
mum is looking on internet sand seeing forums and kind of self | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
diagnosing as well, which is, it can be a real issue. The forums can be | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
helpful as support but in many cases they are dangerous, because you get | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
these mothers, you know, like the other day I saw a mother had posted | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
her baby had lost loads of weight and she was under a lot of pressure | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
from the health professionals to give formula, and up pops a replay | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
saying no, whatever you do don't give formula, that is the wrong | :22:44. | :22:47. | |
thing, when my supply is low I ate a bit more. You think, how can you | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
give this medical advice? Because your milk supply improved when you | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
ate more, doesn't mean every mother in the world's world improve. Somes | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
advice puts pressure and is dangerous. It comes at you from | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
every angle from the off. And conflicting advice, if you ask any | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
mother, one of the fist things they say is they didn't expect it to be | :23:12. | :23:16. | |
as hard as it is. They feel a failure if they can't get past | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
square one, which is getting the baby to latch on and they get | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
conflicting advice. We will have to leave it there. Thank you. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
Last week as we covered here on The One Show the friends and family of | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
Sir Terry Wogan came together at Westminster Abbey to celebrate the | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
life of a remarkable man. The tonight we have the privilege of | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
launching an award in his nape. The Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of the | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Year Award. Recognising those who have in their own way fund-raised | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
for BBC Children In Need. And inspired others do the same. More on | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
that in a second. A word from Sir Terry himself first. | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
Tonight we can all make it count. Really count for the children. The | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
late Sir Terry Wogan was a tireless fund-raiser. For over 30 years he | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
inspired thousands to donate their time and energy, to raising money | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
for Children In Need. That wasn't worth a donation, I will | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
fall down again! Fund-raisers have found drive, bold, | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
and some might say plain silly ways to raise cash. What is going to | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
happen? How much is coming off. Everything. Two people raised money | :24:27. | :24:39. | |
by sitting in a bath of jelly. From the weird to the wacky. You mad | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
demented fools. Dedoesn't do it without you. Every penny has helped | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
to change a young life. Raising over ?840 million to date. | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
And just when we think we have seen it all... The ideas just keep on | :25:01. | :25:01. | |
coming. I am thunder struck, astounded and | :25:02. | :25:20. | |
just astonished at the generosity of the British public. | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE We do know that lots of you are | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
already busy planning what you are going to do for Children In Need, so | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
if you know of a person or a group that has shown creativity, | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
commitment and inspiration while raising money for BBC Children In | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
Need this year, do nominate them for the Sir Terry Wogan Fundraiser of | :25:43. | :25:45. | |
the Year Award. You can nominate yourself. It is all about how you | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
raised the money. So you can pick up a nomination form at your local post | :25:51. | :25:58. | |
office branch and nominations close at midnight on 19th October. | :25:59. | :26:07. | |
For full terms and conditions, they can be found on the Children In Need | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
website. We have had a message from Sir Terry's son Mark. | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
We hope this award continues to encourage the great work of the | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
public and they do on behalf of Children In Need. We would like to | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
thank, Matt Baker, for coming up with the idea, and help to create a | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
real legacy of which we as a family are proud. Well that is very nice to | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
here. -- hear. APPLAUSE | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
It is a way of keeping his legacy going. Let us talk about long | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
weekend. We have loved looking through this book, we have planned a | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
weekend from start to finish. Friday to Sunday. So it's a television | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
series and a book that cones sizing together. Yes, when I started it I | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
was thinking this is a bit difficult to make that book, right. It went on | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
to fantastic Bordeaux, you name it, places of fabulous food and you | :27:15. | :27:23. | |
think, well, I am going to get some unbelievably good recipes, which of | :27:24. | :27:25. | |
course, but they are making it into a book that people want to buy, what | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
is that? Then I suddenly started thinking about my youth, right, when | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
I was in my 20s and 30s we had the restaurant in Padstow, we shut in | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
the, at the end of September, and we didn't open again, my and my first | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
wife Gill, till March. Every winter, we would go away, we would go way to | :27:47. | :27:51. | |
places like Australia and India and all that, but also, we would invite | :27:52. | :27:56. | |
friends down for a long weekend. We would start, I would cook and it was | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
a good opportunity for me to practise things I didn't, that | :28:01. | :28:04. | |
weren't fish, really. We used to start cooking on a Friday fight and | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
they would come down, they would be a bit frazzled because they had been | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
driving down Cornwall from London, so I would make something quick and | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
easy, on Saturday nobody got up particularly early so I would make a | :28:17. | :28:21. | |
brunchy thing, then we might have a bit of lunch but the thing that | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
mattered was Saturday night. That was the big one. And in the book I | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
wrote Saturday night's all right for fighting, right? But it wasn't, and | :28:31. | :28:38. | |
I put, about Friday night, the easy beats, Monday got Friday on my mind, | :28:39. | :28:45. | |
so, what I meant was that Saturday night you are so bowled up, it is | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
like a restaurant, it is about doing something big. Sunday, you are | :28:50. | :28:54. | |
starting to run down a bit, Sunday lunch is a family thing so all the | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
recipe in the books are all for family things you share as a family, | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
then Saturday, Sunday night, is comfort, it is food you make, | :29:07. | :29:12. | |
because you have week ahead and you don't want to think about it. You | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
want something nice, plus I think people tend to cook more and cook | :29:18. | :29:21. | |
more elaborate things at the weekend because they have time to I got the | :29:22. | :29:26. | |
idea from when I was little, in my house in the holiday house we had in | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
Cornwall, they had a book called The Weekend Book, and it was, it was... | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
It was your mum's book. Yes, it was what you did before there was TV, it | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
was full of puzzles and singalong songs and recipes, and that is the | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
sort of idea in my mind, it is the weekend, it is special. | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
It's a travelogue as well. Yes. You have taken the recipes from all over | :29:51. | :29:59. | |
the place, off the beaten track? The thing about the programme, it's not | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
just about the food, it's about enjoying where you are. Food is the | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
way into it. Local food, that's in any particular area, it's a good way | :30:09. | :30:11. | |
of understanding what people are all about. We will have a look at how | :30:12. | :30:17. | |
much you enjoyed Iceland. Iceland! What! I will summon up courage as | :30:18. | :30:27. | |
the smell coming off it is actually revolting. OK, here we go. Crikey! | :30:28. | :30:35. | |
You have tasted it before? No I haven't. Relaxed your face. Enjoy | :30:36. | :30:40. | |
it. Breathe in. I can't breathe in, it's coming out of my nose. It's the | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
most disgusting thing I've ever tasted. What was that then, Rick? | :30:46. | :30:55. | |
Nice sweater. Very nice jumper. I love the range of emotions you go | :30:56. | :31:00. | |
through in 15 seconds. It's fun doing it. It's only ammonia. You | :31:01. | :31:14. | |
know... Shark, what was that? Skate. The member of a shark family. What | :31:15. | :31:19. | |
was great, I said to the crew, right, anything I taste, you've got | :31:20. | :31:24. | |
to taste. We set it up a bit. The next shot is them sort of... Come | :31:25. | :31:31. | |
on. There you go! They can't get out quick enough. That's the bit I love. | :31:32. | :31:42. | |
Pete really tripped up. I know him. You know he's a bit clumsy. He | :31:43. | :31:47. | |
tripped up on the wire. It wasn't set up. That is your perfect | :31:48. | :31:54. | |
Saturday night dish then. Rick Stein's Long Weekends comes out | :31:55. | :31:58. | |
tomorrow and the series, you saw the footage there, continues on BBC Two | :31:59. | :32:06. | |
later this autumn. It's almost time to join the magnificent horses of | :32:07. | :32:10. | |
Vienna. They're the royalty of the riding | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
world and they each travel Before that we sent our own grooming | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
guru, Michael Douglas, to a very different kind | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
of equestrian event. Welcome to the Stow Horse Fair | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
here in the heart of the Cotswolds. For Romany gypsies this 540-year-old | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
event is a regular It's a mud-spattered world of horse | :32:27. | :32:28. | |
trading, deals, bridles and whips. Just like a normal day | :32:29. | :32:37. | |
in the salon for me. But it's not just horses that need | :32:38. | :32:40. | |
grooming round here. The fair is a huge social gathering | :32:41. | :32:42. | |
where old friends meet and everybody First up is Ryalla Duffy, | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
who's been coming here for 30 years. I wash it once a week, | :32:46. | :32:53. | |
usually with horse I was brought up in a bowtop wagon, | :32:54. | :33:02. | |
very much like this. Mum and dad would sleep in a bed | :33:03. | :33:14. | |
at the back and the younger children And then the older boys would sleep | :33:15. | :33:21. | |
underneath the wagon, again on a bed of straw, | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
with the sheep round. They were very hardy | :33:25. | :33:27. | |
people in those days. Bad weather aside, another element | :33:28. | :33:31. | |
that the Romany Gypsies can Shops close, businesses | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
close, pubs close. I think they feel that we are | :33:35. | :33:41. | |
invading their little It's sad because the people that | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
grew up on the land and that lived with the land and worked | :33:44. | :33:52. | |
with the land, they have moved off and gone and we have sort of got | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
the yuppies and guppies here now. And they are the ones | :33:57. | :33:59. | |
that complain, bitterly. Let me take this off and I'll show | :34:00. | :34:02. | |
you the goods. Over the four days of the fair, | :34:03. | :34:04. | |
horses are bought, sold So next up is horse | :34:05. | :34:14. | |
trader, John Doe. What kind of things are people | :34:15. | :34:18. | |
looking for when they A good horse man will be able to age | :34:19. | :34:20. | |
a horse by his teeth and What is this horse going | :34:21. | :34:25. | |
by here, this is a beauty. That would be a heavy | :34:26. | :34:32. | |
hunter-cum-wagon horse. All these horses seem to look very | :34:33. | :34:33. | |
similar to me. They are all kind | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
of black and white. They would be your standard | :34:37. | :34:38. | |
gypsy cobs. Designed for pulling | :34:39. | :34:39. | |
wagons in new trolleys. Whereabouts do you live, | :34:40. | :34:44. | |
John? So you travel around | :34:45. | :34:45. | |
with a horse-drawn caravan? All right, so it's like | :34:46. | :34:50. | |
proper old school? I mean, this now would be | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
like your full transit or your 7.5 This is the equivalent | :34:55. | :35:04. | |
of a transit van? As much as the people, | :35:05. | :35:07. | |
it's important that the horses Aaron Nicklin is a horse trader, | :35:08. | :35:18. | |
too, and knows every Baby oil, that we put | :35:19. | :35:28. | |
through there. Stow Horse Fair used to stand out | :35:29. | :35:35. | |
from the rest, too, There's a lot of sales, | :35:36. | :35:44. | |
you can advertise online, so you don't have to | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
come to these places. People actually come out | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
to your own home, try the horse. So you don't have all | :35:50. | :35:52. | |
the travelling or anything. So what is the future for you, | :35:53. | :35:54. | |
if that is the case? I think we just have to go | :35:55. | :35:57. | |
along with it, really. And if it is the case if we have | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
to advertise on the internet, It would be a shame to see this | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
fair, this glance back But the Romany Gypsies have been | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
adapting for over 500 years. And as Aaron attests, | :36:09. | :36:14. | |
they will continue to do so. Give it to me straight | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
from the horse's Did you hear that lady's secret to | :36:18. | :36:38. | |
her hair? Horsham piano. I'm going to try it. I got you some. Mane and | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
tail. Let me have a smell. It's lovely. There you are. Have a sniff. | :36:45. | :36:51. | |
It's nice, isn't it. Very nice. These are the horses of the span | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
beish riding school of Vienna. They travel with a full-time groomer. | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
Thank you for bringing the horses and joining us this evening. Lovely | :37:00. | :37:03. | |
to see you. The school has been going for an incredible 450 years, | :37:04. | :37:08. | |
hasn't it? Why is the school so famous and so important in the | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
riding world? It's the only school that correct the classical art of | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
riding alive for these 450 years that you just said. This dates back | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
the classical art of riding before Christ. We still train the horses | :37:24. | :37:32. | |
after their principles. You have hopped off your horse for us. The | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
important thing is the breed, this is lipizzaner. Yp are they well | :37:38. | :37:41. | |
suited to this riding you talk about? The breed that comes out of | :37:42. | :37:51. | |
Spanish blood lines is so good for the Spanish... Oh, yes. He wants you | :37:52. | :37:58. | |
back. No, it's because it suits the whole performance, the jumps, the | :37:59. | :38:04. | |
drills. Some horses have enough gaits for solo performance and | :38:05. | :38:09. | |
movement. The whole performance we have with the Spanish Riding School | :38:10. | :38:12. | |
we can do with these horses. You absolutely adore the job. You have | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
been there since you were 15 riding, haven't you? Yes. How do you travel | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
the horses? You tour all over the world. You are very careful of them. | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
What does the process involve when you take them from one country to | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
another. We take care with who transport the horses and the grooms. | :38:31. | :38:33. | |
The grooms who come with the horses know them already. We have to take | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
care of them. Are they divas? Some of them. I thought they might be. | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
This is a first for you, isn't it, to be in a situation with this floor | :38:45. | :38:48. | |
and everything and arena. It's wonderful you have done this. It's a | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
real treat. It took the horses some minutes to warm-up and get used to | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
the environment here. Which is so unusual. We are located in the | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
middle of Vienna, the Spanish Riding School. This is still different. | :39:01. | :39:07. | |
Absolutely. They are fine. She's broken the mould, hasn't she. | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
Explain why? In 2008 we changed the rules, the traditions of the | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
Spanishish riding school. It used to be a boys club. Since 2008 we take | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
on women riders. Only since 2008. Come on, really? We tried to do it | :39:22. | :39:25. | |
earlier. It took some time. Absolutely. Everybody loves to see a | :39:26. | :39:32. | |
photograph of a foal. The interesting thing is about the foals | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
of the lipizzaner is they are born black? They change twice a year | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
their coat. Every time they change a little bit more, white hairs in. | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
Eventually they look like that. Very nice. Can you explain some of the | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
moves. Is Hannah doing anything specific. She is going for it. Can | :39:51. | :39:55. | |
you explain. That is the most collected exercise on the schools on | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
the ground. The horse needs to take more weight on the behind end, carry | :40:00. | :40:05. | |
itself. Has to be very balanced. So this is a very high-level exercise | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
that she just does. It's beautiful. It's so Majestic the way they move. | :40:11. | :40:14. | |
Wonderful. A big thank you to Hannah. Do you want to give a name | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
check to your horses. I would hate to get them wrong. They are Maestos | :40:19. | :40:24. | |
Beja and Pluto Briosa. Thank you to all from the Spanish Riding School | :40:25. | :40:28. | |
of Vienna for making it happen. You will be performing live, going | :40:29. | :40:31. | |
on a tour, London and Birmingham next month. Thanks for stopping by. | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
Much appreciated. You're very welcome. | :40:38. | :40:40. | |
Earlier we saw John Wyeldie successfully take the reigns | :40:41. | :40:43. | |
of a light aircraft when its pilot collapsed. | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
Now it's time to take to the skies once more. | :40:46. | :40:47. | |
Carol Vorderman has set four non-pilots an even bigger challenge. | :40:48. | :40:57. | |
John Wyeldie showed extraordinary courage when his pilot fell ill and | :40:58. | :41:03. | |
had to land a light aircraft having never flown before in his life Co a | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
person with no piloting experience go a step further and land a | :41:08. | :41:12. | |
passenger jet? To find out I've brought four unsuspecting members of | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
the public to this state-of-the-art aviation facility. These hi-tech | :41:17. | :41:22. | |
simulators cost around about ?10 million each. Once you are inside | :41:23. | :41:27. | |
they emulate an airliner in almost every single way. Our volunteers | :41:28. | :41:33. | |
think they are here for a One Show science test, but they have no idea | :41:34. | :41:39. | |
what that will be. In a few moments they will be thirst into the pilot | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
seat of of a passenger jet in a mid-air emergency as if they have | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
been summoned economy to land the plane. No pressure. No pressure, | :41:48. | :41:51. | |
darling. How are you feeling right now? Terrified. Are you? To become | :41:52. | :42:01. | |
an airline pilot takes years of intensive training. Our novices have | :42:02. | :42:04. | |
minutes to get to grips with the controls. No pressure. The man | :42:05. | :42:09. | |
talking them down is mergs instruct -- instructor. This | :42:10. | :42:28. | |
is Joe. This is Andy. Who am I talking to. Joe. I will help you | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
land this aircraft safely. With an arare of dials and controls, clear | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
instructions from Andy will be vital. Lower the yoke. Which one, | :42:39. | :42:49. | |
the steering wheel? Yes. Stressful. The yoke controls up, down, left and | :42:50. | :42:55. | |
right and the throttle is the power. Both are critical to keeping the | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
plane airborne and need careful handling. Emily, who has a fear of | :43:00. | :43:08. | |
flying, struggles to keep control. If the plane tilts too far it could | :43:09. | :43:17. | |
lose lift and plummet to the ground. She is banking hard. Look out of the | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
window and roll the aeroplane level. Push forward on the stick. Keep | :43:22. | :43:27. | |
pushing forward. Excellent. Well done. You are back in controlled and | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
you're climbing. It could have gone badly wrong at that point. We were | :43:32. | :43:35. | |
close to either stalling or spinning as well. Incredibly, all our pilots | :43:36. | :43:41. | |
managed to keep the plane airborne. Flying is the easy bit. It's the | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
landing that's the real challenge. Can you see lights in front of you? | :43:47. | :43:55. | |
Yeah. Yeah. That's the airfield. The key to a good landing is getting the | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
speed an approach angle right. Jess makes her first attempt. Hold | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
everything as it is. You're doing really, really well. Nothing bad is | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
going to happen here. Jess is coming in much too low. This is good. If | :44:12. | :44:22. | |
you can just increase your pitch. Ah That's a crash. Yes. It's all over | :44:23. | :44:29. | |
for Jess. Can operations manager, John, do any better? Aim at the | :44:30. | :44:35. | |
runway. That's it. This is going to be quite steep. Flippin heck. Turn | :44:36. | :44:44. | |
left. Oh, oh, oh... OK. Pitch up. Right, put full power on the engines | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
and pitchup. That's it. Hold everything there. Level the wings. | :44:49. | :44:54. | |
Oh, bloody hell, sorry. It's clear he is not going to make a safe | :44:55. | :45:00. | |
landing. He has to aport. Emily makes her fine Al approach. Hold | :45:01. | :45:02. | |
everything there. Hold everything there. And, so just keep it straight | :45:03. | :45:10. | |
in the centre line. Excellent. You're down. Ha-ha. Yeah! Go girl! | :45:11. | :45:18. | |
That was brilliant. Very well done, Emily. You did it. | :45:19. | :45:24. | |
It turns out it isn't that easy to land an airliner, it shows why | :45:25. | :45:32. | |
airline pilots go through years of training. | :45:33. | :45:34. | |
APPLAUSE Joining us now we have | :45:35. | :45:37. | |
simulator instructor, Andy Grunwell, and volunteers Joe, | :45:38. | :45:39. | |
Jono and Jessica. Flipping heck! We had to beep a lot | :45:40. | :45:48. | |
06 what you said? I know, I'm embarrassed! In all fairness, that | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
was a big challenge, how realise tick was that in comparison to what | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
the pilots go through? It is huge, it is equivalent to me taking Mel | :45:59. | :46:03. | |
C's bit in the wannabe video. It is a good chance it might not turn out | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
as well as it might have. For guys coming in off the streets like they | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
did, to absorb that amount of information, startle factor in raw | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
flying, was huge. My expectations would be we would be lucky to keep | :46:19. | :46:23. | |
it in the air. In a normal situation how many instruments aid with that | :46:24. | :46:28. | |
landing they won't have had there? The instruments are the same. It is | :46:29. | :46:33. | |
the lack of automatics, the automatic pilots, which is how we | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
fly, and again, to have them do that, stick rudder and throttle raw, | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
it was immense. You said to me when we were watching that, there was so | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
many buttons and controls, I mean, if fingers crossed, it shouldn't | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
happen again, if that, the situation did occur would you be happy? If | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
there was no other pilots I would maybe go up there and try and get | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
everyone safe. And Jessica, I mean, I don't know about the landing but | :47:05. | :47:09. | |
you are good at parking. Landing in that car park was something. What | :47:10. | :47:13. | |
did it feel like to have the power of that? It was daunting. I felt so | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
responsible for everybody on my plane. It was scary knowing I had | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
that power. The interesting thing is you work at an airport. Yes I have | :47:23. | :47:27. | |
interacted with flight deck, so it was great to be in their seat, and | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
thanks for helping me it was a great experience. One more time, well | :47:33. | :47:36. | |
done. Super effort. APPLAUSE | :47:37. | :47:44. | |
All Matt has been saying was how much he would like toe have a go, so | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
for his next birthday we know what to get him. A boy is is a boy. Mel, | :47:49. | :47:55. | |
your new album. It is out on the 2 #1st. It is called Version of Me | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
your single has had loads of radio play. Let us have a listen | :48:01. | :48:05. | |
# It's not working # I hear the music | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
# But I can't dance # I should be moving but I'm stuck | :48:11. | :48:14. | |
# And I need to fight this feeling # So I stay here on the floor | :48:15. | :48:20. | |
# I'm not supposed to love you # Not supposed to love you any more. | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
# APPLAUSE | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
It is your first album in five years, isn't it I know, it is amaze, | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
this is the biggest gap I have had between albums and I think it has | :48:38. | :48:40. | |
been a good thing. It has helped to make a stronger record. So much has | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
happened, there has been loss of inspiration. E, is that what has | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
driven the new album? Yes, partly, I think everything that happens to me, | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
it kind of comes out through you know my music and lyric, it is a | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
nice way to express yourself, as a performer it is nice when you have | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
written your own words and you have the true emotion. It makes it more | :49:07. | :49:10. | |
satisfying. Is there one song in particular that is very special to | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
you? Do you know, I have to say I have been ruthless with this record | :49:15. | :49:18. | |
for and taking my time, I was like there is not going, because | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
sometimes you might have a song that slips on an words and you have the | :49:23. | :49:25. | |
true emotion. It makes it more satisfying. Is there one song in | :49:26. | :49:27. | |
particular that is very special to you? Do you know, I have to say I | :49:28. | :49:30. | |
have been ruthless with this record for and taking my time, I was like | :49:31. | :49:33. | |
there is not going, because sometimes you might have a song that | :49:34. | :49:36. | |
slips on an album and words and you have the true emotion. It makes it | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
more satisfying. Is there one song in particular that is very special | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
to you? Do you know, I have to say I have been ruthless with this record | :49:43. | :49:45. | |
for and taking my time, I was like there is not going, because | :49:46. | :49:47. | |
sometimes you might have a song that slips on an album and you are like | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
"I'm not sure about that one" or the record company like it. This one I | :49:51. | :49:53. | |
have gone, no, if it is not good enough, it is not going on, so every | :49:54. | :49:57. | |
song means a lot to me.? There is no instruments at all. On this album. | :49:58. | :49:59. | |
There is. There is but electronically. It is a very | :50:00. | :50:01. | |
different sound. In the past I have been lucky, I experimented with lots | :50:02. | :50:04. | |
of different genre, I always being pop but this time I wanted to go | :50:05. | :50:06. | |
more electronic, and it coincided really well with what is happening, | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
there is lots of younger artists and you know, mainstream sounds, pop mew | :50:10. | :50:11. | |
circumstances, EDM, there is lots of electronic stuff happening. Is it | :50:12. | :50:14. | |
right that vibe came do you in a yoga class? Yes. As it does. It does | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
sound as pop star as it is. I was in LA in a yoga class, I was a bit | :50:20. | :50:23. | |
lost, didn't really foe what direction I wanted to go in, I knew | :50:24. | :50:29. | |
I wanted to make a record and I was becoming a bit frustrated, because | :50:30. | :50:32. | |
often in music, in pop music, people try to put you in a direction of | :50:33. | :50:37. | |
what is popular at the time, and you know, I am a more mature artist now, | :50:38. | :50:43. | |
I can't compete with artists that I love like arena or Katy Perry, or | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
the younger girls out there, and I just thing lyrically I have to be | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
different, and I was getting frustrated with people maybe | :50:53. | :50:54. | |
thinking that is the way I should go, and I just thought, I have | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
wanted do this, why don't I just do it. I have nothing to lose. Yeah. We | :50:59. | :51:04. | |
have to talk about the Spice Girl reunion. Do we? Yes. You don't want | :51:05. | :51:14. | |
to know any more. Three of them have said yes, we will go for it. | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
Victoria and yourself have said no. So big, hard decision or for you was | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
it something in you went absolutely not right for me now. It was really | :51:23. | :51:29. | |
difficult. After the Olympics in 2012, closing ceremony. Wonderful | :51:30. | :51:33. | |
life. Victoria said this is amazing but I think that is it for me. We | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
totally respect that, and the other four, we had a great time, we were, | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
let's leave the door open, let us stay in touch and talk about it in | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
the future, and as time went on and it got closer to the anniversary and | :51:50. | :51:54. | |
we were having meetings, I was feeling a bit uneasy about it. And, | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
it took me a long time to come to the decision and it was really | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
really hard, because I love the girls dearly, and you know, of | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
course, you know the girls are going to go on and do something, I know | :52:05. | :52:10. | |
they would like to have me there and makes life more difficult, so, I | :52:11. | :52:13. | |
felt like I was letting them down, and it is still an incredible fan | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
base and I felt terrible for letting them down but I had to make the | :52:20. | :52:25. | |
decision based on what I felt? Why didn't you do it? There is a number | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
of reasons, I don't want to go into too much detail, no, when we did the | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
Olympics, there was five of us, when we reunited in 2007 there was five | :52:37. | :52:41. | |
of us, it felt like it was such a celebration of everything we | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
achieved in the '90s, I think to go out as a four piece, for me, I | :52:46. | :52:50. | |
didn't feel like it was, you know, I didn't feel like it was doing | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
justice to the band for the fans. Do you think your voices are the same | :52:56. | :52:59. | |
now? Do you think singing together... Singing wise. I don't | :53:00. | :53:06. | |
know. I have continued to sing. But the others haven't. Everybody sang, | :53:07. | :53:11. | |
in varying degree, they have done different thing, but yes, you know | :53:12. | :53:14. | |
when we got together in 2007 it was like the old days. If you have been | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
there and done it and felt what it feels like to be that big, do you | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
want to go there again, do you need to go there again? It is | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
complicated. It puts you in a different place, you know, in the | :53:29. | :53:31. | |
media, in the spotlight, there is a lot o consider. Sometimes bands can | :53:32. | :53:36. | |
be be remembered as the fantastic bands they were, you don't have to | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
keep doing it. I have to be careful, because the girls have respected my | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
decision to go on and continue with my solo career and I respect their | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
decision to continue, so I don't want to say anything derogatory | :53:51. | :53:52. | |
because I wish them all the luck in the world. The good news is they | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
will be looking for two new members. Members. That's it. We are in! Good | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
luck with the new album it is brilliant. We spoke about it for a | :54:04. | :54:09. | |
while. We were talking about Rick's long weekend, Mike has been on the | :54:10. | :54:12. | |
hunt for a bird that decided to take a break of its own. | :54:13. | :54:21. | |
Very exciting wildlife new, we have had tantalising reports of a bird | :54:22. | :54:25. | |
that has never been seen in Britain before. It goes by the wonderful | :54:26. | :54:30. | |
title of western purple swamphen. This is normally a bird that should | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
be sunbathing in the Mediterranean. It first turned up a couple of weeks | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
ago in Suffolk at RSPB Minsmere and just as we were about to go for it, | :54:41. | :54:48. | |
it disappeared. Now, it has reappeared so we thought fortune | :54:49. | :54:50. | |
favours the brave. We are going to go for it. We are on a One Show | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
twitch. I have come to Lincolnshire, to meet | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
one of the first people to Spotlight the bird here. The purple swamphen, | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
have you seen it this morning? No. Right. So far, not great news. But | :55:06. | :55:12. | |
it has been very elusive over the last four day, it has been in the | :55:13. | :55:19. | |
area of water in front of us there. That rectangle, it's a very very | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
long way away. Presuming if this bird has left it will have left at | :55:25. | :55:27. | |
night, that is when they tend to move. So, do you think it is still | :55:28. | :55:31. | |
here? I think it will be. I think it was not a very good day yesterday, a | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
lot of rain, windy and wet last night. So I doubt if it has left. I | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
have to stay positive as it might just have gone into the reeds. | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
It is a mystery why the purple swamphen has ventured so far from | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
home. But it could be down to weather patterns. | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
There has been a severe drought in parts of Spain and France. So maybe | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
it flew north, and kept going all the way to the UK. | :55:58. | :56:05. | |
The flats is gorgeous and there are amazing birds here, like spoon | :56:06. | :56:10. | |
bills. And black tailed birds from Iceland. | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
Sadly, though, no sign of a purple swamphen. | :56:15. | :56:21. | |
But eventually, and after weeks of chasing around the country, a | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
strange shape appears in the reeds. Hang on. I see a purple Bluebird | :56:27. | :56:38. | |
coming out of the reed bed. It is immediately identifiable. | :56:39. | :56:44. | |
Particularly with a colour that is a purple, green, bluey sheen all over | :56:45. | :56:49. | |
the plumage, it is the size that is the most revealing thing of all. | :56:50. | :56:55. | |
This is a big robust bird. It is like a moor hen on steroids. | :56:56. | :57:01. | |
The reed at the back is this plant that grows by the rhizomes. I think | :57:02. | :57:07. | |
it is eating then. It is grabbing the food with its big red feet. | :57:08. | :57:13. | |
That is nice, there is a little green that has just gone right up to | :57:14. | :57:19. | |
it, and doesn't really like the swamphen being there. It looks tiny | :57:20. | :57:28. | |
in comparison. There is a bit of a territorial dispute. Can't believe | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
we have got it. That is really good news. The word is out and before | :57:32. | :57:37. | |
long, I am joined by a whole host of expectant twitchers from all over | :57:38. | :57:41. | |
the country. So what do they make of this peculiar bird? It is a cracking | :57:42. | :57:46. | |
bird, to see one here, it is a delight. We made this attempt to see | :57:47. | :57:52. | |
it earlier, at Minsmere in Suffolk and failed by one day. That has to | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
be the youngest bird here today. And worth a journey? Yes. It is an | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
astonishing fact this is only western known purple swamphen in the | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
British Isles. It has chosen a great place to stay. There is plenty of | :58:10. | :58:14. | |
food here and safe locations to roost f. If it decides to hang round | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
who knows it may be joined by one or two more if. It the fly back to the | :58:20. | :58:26. | |
Mediterranean then bon voyage and thank you for stopping by. Wonderful | :58:27. | :58:34. | |
turn out for a purple swamphen. Staying on the animal theme. We have | :58:35. | :58:42. | |
had an e-mail. -Mail. Anne has missed the point, people don't keep | :58:43. | :58:45. | |
cat, cats keep people. Very good. That is all for tonight, | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
thank you to Anne, to Rick and to Mel. Mel's new album Version of Me | :58:51. | :59:01. | |
is released on 23 October. Anne Robinson's Britain starts tomorrow | :59:02. | :59:05. | |
on BBC One. We will be back tomorrow. I should have kept this | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
shirt! See you tomorrow. Hello, I'm Tina Daheley | :59:10. | :59:21. | |
