05/11/2013 The One Show

Hello, welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker... And Alex Jones. See

how long it will take you to try to guess who tonight's guest is.

Someone a bit cheeky. Not Tony Blair. I know that face. It's Frank

Skinner! Good to see you, good to see you.

Fabulous. I wish I could do that. You have this whole new art TV show,

to look for a portrait artist. That is why I'm on? I was sitting here

puzzled! Yes, that's correct. You had a caricatured and of yourself,

but you didn't sit down? They use of celebrities, for the sitters, sadly.

Tonight we are going to shower you with portraits. You will feel like a

North Korean dictator, there will be pictures of you everywhere you look.

Will some missiles go past? We decided to go without the missiles.

There will be some fireworks, though. Three of the 80 competitors

from your show are with us tonight. We have Kevin, Kemi and Pamela. They

are here to paint you. It is Kemi's portrait that we saw at the

beginning. We are also creating an effigy of you for the bonfire

special. That is not so good, is it? I think you will be impressed. Are

you going to burn me? We will see how you behave during the show. And

we have some new viewers tonight. The nation's animals are under

firework curfew. We want to see your pets safe and well and enjoying The

One Show. If you have locked the cat flap, close to the kennel or brought

in your rabbits, send a picture. It is their lucky night tonight,

because later we have a firework display the whole animal kingdom

will be talking about. Look at this, Frank. It is The Sheep Show! I grew

up on a sheep farm and I've never seen anything like it. Aircraft will

be very confused, the landing strip is moving! According to the

insurance industry, November is the worst month for break-ins with a

home being burgled every two minutes. As Larry Lamb has been

finding out, one group is hardest hit of all.

At the beginning of each academic year, 70,000 students descend on

Manchester. Where there are students, sadly, there are burglars.

Students with laptops and mobiles, sometimes with lax attitudes to home

security, are twice as likely as other adults to become victims of

burglary. Whilst the undergraduates are out enjoying themselves, Greater

Manchester Police are out patrolling the student area of Fallowfield.

This time of year, when students are returning and we are getting new

students coming, we are getting quite a big increase in burglaries.

People targeting student properties. They know that students have got

maybe six laptops in the address, six iPhones. A house shared by six

students became eight crime scene when they went to the supermarket.

The lads came back to find their computers, with more than ?4000, had

been stolen. Everybody's laptop had been taken, the iMac have been taken

and the iPad. I kind of feel we had been targeted. Straight in, straight

out, knew what they wanted to get. Feels like an invasion of privacy,

they have gone right into your room, there are personal things in each of

our rooms. It's just a bit shocking. It's never happened to me before.

It is the morning after the night before. The night shift have clocked

off. I am out on patrol in an area of Manchester that accounts for

almost two thirds of all student burglaries. We are going to a crime

scene where a theology student came home and found herself face-to-face

with a burglar who had broken into her shared house. Good morning. OK?

I came back at four o'clock, the door was wide open. It comes out of

my room, and because the light was on and it was dark outside, I could

see a clear shot of him. He could not see me. I was making a lot of

noise, getting people on the street to come out, help us, we are being

burgled. In his rush to escape, he dropped a laptop, leading

potentially incriminating forensic evidence. The crime scene

investigation team are here to dust down the evidence and see if they

can find any fingerprints. We think the laptop was abandoned as

he tried to get out of the back door, which was locked. He ran

upstairs and jumped out of the first-floor window. The investigator

found a fingerprint. But, for the victim, it has been a frightening

episode and she is a long way from home. It makes you feel a bit shaky?

I haven't been able to sleep in my room yet. The image of the man in my

room, I can't get out of my head. I'm going home for a few days,

because I don't really feel safe here any more, to be honest. Greater

Manchester Police say one in ten students in their city will become a

victim of crime. What is so frustrating for the bodies around

here is that it is often the simple things like open windows and

unlocked doors that make burglaries so easy. To remind students to close

windows, the police have come up with a light-hearted solution. This

is a gentle reminder that your window has been left open. We will

put that through the window, the occupants will have a look at it and

it makes them think, how has it got in there? The balloon itself directs

them to our student safety Facebook page. You are looking at the basics,

making sure the front door is locked, the windows are closed. If

you are going out at night, leave some lights on. As long as your

address looks more secure than the one next door, potentially you will

not become a victim of crime. Let's face it, home security is never

going to be a student's top priority. But now, more than ever,

it is really something they can't afford to ignore.

We were just saying, it brought back some memories for you because you

were broken into at university? Yes, we had four traffic cones stolen!

No, I lived in a place, they kicked the door in and they stole a VHS

recorder, Sony Walkman and two Pogues albums. It was the most 80s

crime. My girlfriend was living with me and she was scared to be in on

her own afterwards. It is, but we did extensive research, we've got

some great news for you. Normally I just lean over the shoulder, but

it's too heavy. We found it. You will notice the video is still in.

Thank God, that is the video I left in. I thought you were going to give

me a shot gun. Can we shoot them now, is that allowed? And you attack

them? I don't think so, I don't know. That's a different film, we

will get Lowry on the case. I thought David Cameron or Kenneth

Clarke said it was OK to defend your property to the death. Don't quote

them on that. At eight o'clock tomorrow night, you should set this,

because your new show is on. It is an hearty show? It is the Portrait

Artist of the Year, and it is to find exactly that. 2000 people

sending entries. They sent in portraits, we have three expert

judges and they narrowed it down to 80 people. We went to Dublin,

Cardiff, Glasgow and London. These people turn up, they painted various

celebrities. We are now currently down to the four semifinalists. I

can honestly say that it is probably the most enjoyable series I have

ever done. Just watching people who turn up with a blank white canvas

and turn it into something beautiful in four hours. Also to see how

differently people do it. The styles are so... We will look at one of the

artists involved. The artists have a chance to size up

the competition. A mother of four boys, she works as a children's book

illustrator. There is a great Friday year. That is a surprise to me. It

was a pleasant surprise seeing the different media Mass, watercolours,

acrylics, oil, they are brilliant, all of them. I know my style is

different to everybody else, as good a chance as anyone. A lot of it is

very detailed, I'm not sure that will fare well in the environment.

People with looser styles, that will suit them all. Varying, not just

professionals? Some people have never sold a painting, they just

paint for love. The age range was 17 to 70. It's amazing how many

different approaches there were two creating a portrait of the same

person? Not just that, you see people, they have four hours to

paint it. You walk around after an hour, you think, that is finished,

that's brilliant. Someone has drawn three pencil lines, you'd think they

have no chance. Two hours later, the people that were doing well have

ruined there is, they have done too much. Then there are five pencil

lines. And 20 minutes before the end, that suddenly grows into... All

of the different methods and styles, I have found it fascinating. There

is a slight elephant in the room. People think about Frank Skinner,

comedy, football, we didn't know you have a passion for art? I'm

co-hosting with Joan , she is the wind beneath my wings. It's nice to

be referred to as the young one for a change. You will like it, you will

see your future stretched out ahead of you. We saw Kevin, he is here

tonight. Turn your portrait around. This is what you have been doing of

Frank. There we go. We pick up on the first episode

about his style. I don't know why he did grey hair. We will have to ask.

I did no, really. Earlier in the afternoon, this is how you started.

You put this grid on first? Then do the outlines to make sure the

proportions are right. Apply a bit of colour, start with the light ones

first, that establishes the background colour. Start the

outlines again, and then the final touches, you know? It's beautiful,

honestly. But you don't make a living from painting, you work in a

call centre. How much painting did you do in your spare time? Every

second I have three, evenings, night times. Boring calls in the call

centre? I'm saying nothing. He's just flown in from his job in

Bombay! Portrait Artist of the Year starts tonight on Sky Arts 1.

Tonight is the biggest night of the year for firemen up and down the

country. One thing that has made their life easier is a British

invention that is almost 300 years old.

A fire can take hold in seconds and spread up a ferocious pace. Overall,

today, there are far fewer catastrophic fires, not least

because of a British invention with a rather surprising history. The

sprinkler. In the 17th and 18th century, Britain's buildings were

extremely vulnerable to fire. Methods. In them were limited. Sir

George Piggott is a fire sprinkler expert. Everything was done with a

naked flame. You cooked with plain, you let your house with flames,

there were timber frame buildings with thatched roofs that burned

extremely easily. Until one man came off with a solution, Ambrose

Godfrey. He was a renowned chemist. In 1723 key part did the first-ever

sprinkler system. Key to his invention was a surprise ingredient.

Gunpowder. It was used for explosion and suffocation. The idea was that

when something caught fire, the flames would ignite a fuse that led

to a small vial of gunpowder. That, in turn, was held inside a container

of liquid. When the gunpowder exploded, it burst the container and

the water would pour out everywhere and, hopefully, put out the fire.

Lets see how it worked. Here in Nottingham is one of the UK's fire

testing facilities. We are recreating the principles with a

gunpowder expert. For the container, we are going to use a balloon filled

with water. A vial of gunpowder will be attached to the balloon. This

leads to a fuse. Underneath will be the fire. Right, this is it. The

moment of truth. Will Godfrey's design work?

The water from the exploding balloon should, in theory, extinguish the

fire. That's brilliant! The principle was

good, but it didn't put out all of the flames. However, reports at the

time suggested that the device was successfully implemented in

buildings in London. It became so famous that one

demonstration of it drew a crowd of 20,000 people.

But when Godfrey led, others followed. After a spate of fires at

the Drury Lane Theatre, a manual spindle assistant was installed in

1812, invented by William Congreve. In 1864, Major Stuart Harrison

invented the first ever automatic sprinkler head. Rather than using

exploding files to release the water, it featured a perforated

brass head with a special rubber valve, held in place by string. If

the string burned, it would activate the valve. That became the basis for

the design for all modern sprinklers. I've built one to test

it. It is holding, just about. No water is coming out. Here comes the

fire. It's a blowtorch. We burned through the string. And the

sprinkler starts working. It distinguishes the fire. -- extend

wishes. But how do sprinklers work now? What are modern sprinter

systems like today? Extremely effective and what they do. That is

what people will be used to seeing. A bulb, when heated up, it expands

and allows water to come out. How effective are these things?

Extremely effective. There has not been a fire fatality in a house with

domestic spindle is fitted, ever. Nobody has been killed in a house

with a fire spreads? That is correct. That is amazing, I am

stunned. 100,000 UK homes have a spindle system and this training

video shows how effective they are. The sprinkler activates one minute

and a half after the fire starts, extinguish flames seconds.

We are no longer trying to fight fire with gun powder, but the

principles behind Godfrey's design has not changed. It is a life-saver.

Thank you and we have some breaking Welsh nows, the Welsh Assembly have

announced by 2016 all new homes built in Wales will have a sprinkler

fitted. It is the first country in Europe. Tonight we need your help to

find a hero. Carrie has been to meet a woman whose daughter was saved by

a station. This is Lincolnshire, back on 17th September, it was the

scene of a very serious car accident that could have had a tragic ending,

had it not been for one man. 21 -year-old Beckie leaves with her two

daughters. I was going to college, so I had to drop her off at the

nursy and as I turned the corner there was a van coming up on my side

and I swerved to miss him. As I hit the side of the bank, I lift off

into the air and I rolled back into the dyke and ended up on my roof. So

the car started to fill with water. All the windows had smashed and it

was just splash and full. What were your thoughts? Once I touched

Imogen, I thought she was going to die. Because she wasn't moving. To

me, if you're under water, you're going to kick to get out. What

happened? I bunged her at the first person I could see. She passed

Imogen to the man who gave her CPR. Did you think she had already gone?

Yes, I didn't think she was going to wake up and the look on his face, I

don't think he did. What did he do? He started giving her breaths to the

mouth and giving her chest compressions. This went on for about

two minutes until she made a noise. But he kept going until she was

screaming, full on screaming. How important was CPR in saving her

life. She was unconscious and not breathing, unless somebody acts

straightaway, it is a matter of minutes. An ambulance can get there

quickly, but by standing first aid is essential. How important is it

for members of the pub tloibg do acts like this? -- public to do acts

like this? Up to 140 thousand people die from conditions where first aid

may have given them the chance to live. Imogen was lucky to survive

and possibly wouldn't have without the help of the stranger. Now,

Beckie wants to nominate for a St John ambulance every day hero award.

But she has to find him first. What are the awards. They're annual

awards that we run and what we want is for the public to nominate every

day ordinary people who do extraordinary things, by delivering

first a id when it is -- aid when it is needed most. He was tall, slim to

medium build with blonde hair. He looked eastern European and he was

wearing a black jacket. Without him, I wouldn't have her. Do you know

what I mean? I owe her life to him. Without him, I would be burying my

daughter. It's that simple. Oh, little Imogen, an amazing story. If

you have any information to find him, please get in touch at the

usual address. Now, speaking of heroes, Team Rickshaw will set off

an a 700 mile journey in three days. I love Team rickshaw. If you want to

make a donation, head to our web-site and all the details are

there. Get your donation in now and get it out of the way. And Frank

you're doing a special for Children in Need? We did a Room 101, instead

of celebrities, we had three children on. They were much better.

Thanks! Well, you were great. They were kids and they said anything.

There was one person moaned about her parents trying to be cool. I

tried to demonstrate dad dancing. So I did a bit of that. This

seven-year-old said, stop that now, or I'll call Childline! They were

properly funny and interesting and great. And we have a bone to pick

with you. Last year, was it last year, Sheila Hancock put fireworks

into Room 101. Do you have a problem with tonight's activities. It is a

not a great time for Catholics, it is a celebration for burning

Catholics. I actually like, fireworks in general, not connected

to tonight, I always laugh at fireworks. I was at a party and

Bryan Ferry was there and they had fireworks and he looked at me with

distress, because I was laughing each time there was a bang and he

looked afraid. So, yes, I have always found them funny. Do they

still have penny for the guy? I haven't seen one. They Thorpe m norm

-- they normally have one. It has been replaced by trick or treat. I

would like to call for the end of trick and treat and the reburn of --

return of penny for the guy. We promised you a firework display for

animals at home. Here is Stanley. He is behind that cushion, because he

can't bear firework. For Stanley and the others, here is our sheep

extravaganza. There is something special about the bornd between --

bond between the shepherd, his flock and his dog. That relationship is at

the heart of hill farms like this. I want to see if it is a skill I can

turn into something special. Our challenge is to take 60 sheep, two

sheepdogs and a shepherd and create a fireworks display. Gerald has been

farming this land in Wales for over 20 years and works each day with

Flash and his herd of 7 hundred sheep. But he realised with the help

of some computer wizardry, he could create something special. Let me

explain the idea is this. When darkness falls, we will put fairy

light jackets on the sheep and get Gerald and the dogs to herd them

into precise formations that we will film and when we piece it together

we should have something spectacular. Can you tell me how

this came about? This is one of most unusual thing we have done. A local

approached me wanting to make an advert and he knew that I was

interested in competing and working sheepdogs. He asked me to help. It

has gone from there and we have done several programmes for different

TVs, German and American. What do you get out of it? It is just the

thrill of working on my own with the sheepdog and I don't class them as

work, because I class him as a friend. Because he is working for

me. Lovely, Flash. Oh, he is beautiful. And so obedient. We will

see about that later on! He tends to do his own thing. But he is good.

But before we even start lighting up the sheep, Gerald needs to know

Flash is on his game. One stray movement from them could ruin the

effect. But herding isn't as easy as it looks. That will do! Away to me.

Away to me. I can't do it in a Welsh accent! Try a right hand whistle.

What was that? There you go. Stand. Stand! Brilliant. It is all a bit

random. As the sun goes down in Wales, it is time for us to get

ready. Wales, it is time for us to get

costume. Around 3,000 light bulbs and 40 jackets later, everything is

in place. I have seen some things in my life, but this is just beautiful.

Gerald will herd the sheep in specific formation and we will later

runs on top of each other to create a final display. And Flash is raring

to go. Flash! Flash! You have got people every where

herding the sheep. It is all slightly chaotic.

Wow. That is like sheep ballet going on. What about that, that was

extraordinary. On many levels. It made me feel very sleepy! Brilliant.

I shouldn't have started counting. All the animals are glued to it.

This is Ebb Nice -- Ebony who is watching. And you have to say they

have the same video recorder. Hang on, a is that my PoguesCD? This is

Penny. And what about Freddy. Look at Freddy in Birmingham. He is nice

and safe and warm. And one more. Here is Pepsi, tucked up and safe in

bed. That is a bit weird. Now the final portraits. Pamela has been

busy as well. Pamela, reveal your artwork. And look at that, Frank!

Let's have a look at see how you did it. Talk us through. You start with

a red background. Yes, and then I use that to make the colours more

vibrant and then get the pallet knife out and decide, we will work

from the outside and work towards the details of the face. The amazing

thing, Pamela has only been doing this since May. That incredible.

They are all brilliant. We have one more. We said about this effigy. We

have been lighting these tea lights and look. We have set up a camera

outside. Off you go, Phil. You will see... Burning beautifully... Thanks

to everyone for coming on the show. Portrait Artist of the Year starts

tonight. I thought they were sheep! We are back tomorrow with David

Dimbleby and the Eggheads. See you at 7. Good
