:00:15. > :00:18.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.
:00:19. > :00:28.And the delicious James Martin.
:00:29. > :00:40.She's only saying that because there is now he's on the table. I made
:00:41. > :00:44.these. We had these because we had a really interesting film about sugar.
:00:45. > :00:49.Unfortunately, we had to ditch it because we had something very big to
:00:50. > :00:53.share with you as a world exclusive. On the show, you will see Adele
:00:54. > :00:59.performed for the first time in three years in front of a TV
:01:00. > :01:08.audience. It was especially recorded for the ABC and you will see it
:01:09. > :01:11.first here tonight. Our other guest tonight was an accomplished
:01:12. > :01:16.musician. You probably know him better as the pointless bloke on the
:01:17. > :01:22.television. So happy to be here. Nice to be back on the sofa here
:01:23. > :01:31.with you. First of all, do you want a brownie? Which is the sugary one?
:01:32. > :01:36.You are here because this is your first album. Your first music album.
:01:37. > :01:41.I thought it would be you introduced in your favourite songs somebody
:01:42. > :01:49.else singing. But it is you. Yes, it is me. All my life, I have been a
:01:50. > :01:54.singer. My training, actually was music. I was a chorister when I was
:01:55. > :02:01.very little. I was a choir boy when I was little, a proper chorister
:02:02. > :02:05.when I was seven onwards. I sang all the way up to 22. Then I thought, I
:02:06. > :02:15.don't want to do this professionally. I go into comedy. No
:02:16. > :02:22.one ever asked me to sing. I always had it on my CV. People would say, I
:02:23. > :02:28.see you are trained at singing. You played instruments first? I play a
:02:29. > :02:38.bit of piano but I am properly trained to sing. Semiprofessional. A
:02:39. > :02:41.trained baritone. So we will have you later after Adele. What about
:02:42. > :02:49.that? Adele is my warm up. Plus, James is here because
:02:50. > :02:51.Matt is live in Land's End with Team Rickshaw on the night
:02:52. > :02:54.before their challenge begins. We'll catch up with them all
:02:55. > :02:56.in a bit. Let's not wait a moment longer -
:02:57. > :02:59.It's been three years in the making, and now Adele has finally returned
:03:00. > :03:01.with new music. for the BBC, and The One Show had a
:03:02. > :03:11.front row seat. Adele has come a long way since her
:03:12. > :03:13.TV debut in 2007. She captivated her audience with a stunning vocal
:03:14. > :03:21.performance that captivated the audience. Since then, she has taken
:03:22. > :03:29.the world by storm with two multiplatinum albums and other live
:03:30. > :03:37.performances like this one at the Brits in 2011. Just a piano and that
:03:38. > :03:51.voice. Then there are key stacks of awards, Grammys, Globe and others.
:03:52. > :03:57.I'm delighted to be amongst the privileged few who get to see Adele
:03:58. > :04:02.sing live for the first time on TV in nearly three years. With moments
:04:03. > :04:08.to go before the curtain rises, I tracked down the host. It is amazing
:04:09. > :04:14.for her to be singing the songster night after all her vocal surgery
:04:15. > :04:20.and everything. She broke the Internet. It was more popular than
:04:21. > :04:27.Kim Kardashian's bottom. That is a big thing right there. This ticket
:04:28. > :04:33.is so hot and exclusive that the audience have two handed in their
:04:34. > :04:40.phone before they come in. I was amazed. I've got a ticket! There
:04:41. > :04:47.were tears. I was on repeat, hello, it's me after all these years. I am
:04:48. > :04:57.so amazed. I can't believe I'm here tonight. First, some warm up
:04:58. > :05:02.questions from Graham. Some people thought you were going to leave it
:05:03. > :05:07.after two albums. I was very self-critical. I thought with 21
:05:08. > :05:12.being so successful it might be enough for everyone. I realised it
:05:13. > :05:17.wasn't enough for me, so, sorry. I will make your ears bleed a bit
:05:18. > :05:21.more. I wondered if I wanted to go back to it but obviously I do. I
:05:22. > :05:25.wanted to make sure that everything was in place so I could do it
:05:26. > :05:32.properly. I can't do anything else. This is all that I like doing. It
:05:33. > :05:38.doesn't stop the rumour mill churning. Use this opportunity to
:05:39. > :05:49.set the record straight. We are going to play rumour has it. Rumour
:05:50. > :05:58.has it that you are not allowed access to your own tour account. I'm
:05:59. > :06:09.not a drinker any more but when it first came out, I was always drunk
:06:10. > :06:14.tweeting and nearly put my foot in it a few times. Now, someone else
:06:15. > :06:20.has two sign it off. I write all my own tweets but somebody has to do
:06:21. > :06:39.check it. And this was the moment that everybody was waiting for.
:06:40. > :06:51.# I'm sorry for everything that I've done.
:06:52. > :06:57.# I'm on the outside, at least I can see that I've changed.
:06:58. > :07:06.# I'm sorry for breaking your heart.
:07:07. > :07:25.# I hope it doesn't take you apart any more. APPLAUSE
:07:26. > :07:41.Absolutely. The. How fantastic is that? I listen to it eight times on
:07:42. > :07:48.Saturday night. And you can watch the full programme on BBC One. She
:07:49. > :08:01.famously had some problems with her voice. Have you had any vocal
:08:02. > :08:08.problems? Yesterday, I was doing my character on Pepa Pig and I started
:08:09. > :08:11.croaking. Steam is the answer. Steam and cayenne pepper. That tends to
:08:12. > :08:18.work. Nothing works better than two nights good sleep but often you
:08:19. > :08:33.don't have time for that. Do you warm up your voice? I do weird
:08:34. > :08:36.warm-ups. It's good. You need to find the right resonances. We are
:08:37. > :08:42.glad that Adele has got hers back. This next film probably needs
:08:43. > :08:44.the biggest safety warning we've Do not try and jump out
:08:45. > :08:51.of a plane with fireworks strapped to your body, unless you are
:08:52. > :09:05.a trained professional and it Daredevils have always attracted an
:09:06. > :09:10.audience, partly because of the danger and bravery on show but what
:09:11. > :09:18.could be left that can capture our imagination? Most people have
:09:19. > :09:23.watched a fireworks display where they launch rockets into the sky.
:09:24. > :09:31.What if we were to turn it around and launch them at the ground
:09:32. > :09:35.instead? How might we go about that? Skydiver Dayne Kenny thinks he has
:09:36. > :09:41.the answer and has spent two days rehearsing with the one show team.
:09:42. > :09:50.He will become our very own human firework. What can possibly go
:09:51. > :09:58.wrong? Quite a lot, actually. Especially when you are going to be
:09:59. > :10:03.skydiving with these expenses. They are pyrotechnics. It is what they
:10:04. > :10:08.use an festival stages and stuff like that. They will be attached to
:10:09. > :10:16.my arms. I am going to have two lots on my arm. These clusters of 12 will
:10:17. > :10:21.go on my boot like that, a cluster on each foot. They will have to go
:10:22. > :10:31.off in a sequence so there is a continuous burn from the time I go
:10:32. > :10:38.out until the time a -- I land. It is important that all the flares go
:10:39. > :10:41.out before I open my canopy. They could damage the lines to the
:10:42. > :10:47.parachute itself and I could be between the devil and the deep sea.
:10:48. > :10:54.He will be setting off his in freefall. To give the best display
:10:55. > :11:04.he wants to set off a second set of flares whilst the parachute is open.
:11:05. > :11:08.His timing must be exact. To document this fact, we have enlisted
:11:09. > :11:20.leak Regine turn our skydiving cameraman. I have filmed
:11:21. > :11:25.pyrotechnics and skydivers before. I have to make sure I don't get in
:11:26. > :11:34.range. A face full of sparks. It will have to be perfect timing. With
:11:35. > :11:43.Jane and Lee attempting such a dangerous shot, timing has to be
:11:44. > :11:46.crucial. The problem is that with weather deteriorating planes are
:11:47. > :11:51.unable to fly preventing any more rehearsals. With the forecast
:11:52. > :11:56.offering a brief window for the scheduled performance, they will
:11:57. > :12:01.make their first and only jump with operational flares in front of an
:12:02. > :12:08.expectant audience. With night falling, the crowds are gathering to
:12:09. > :12:15.watch this one-off performance. I just hope that they haven't got
:12:16. > :12:16.their wires crossed. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the incredible
:12:17. > :12:54.human firework! With the first part of the dive
:12:55. > :12:57.complete, the parachute open, he ignites the flares to perform the
:12:58. > :13:34.finale. APPLAUSE
:13:35. > :13:42.That was pretty good. It was incredible.
:13:43. > :13:44.Please don't strap fireworks to your body tonight and
:13:45. > :13:55.What the scariest thing you have ever done. I once advertised a
:13:56. > :14:03.delicious summary drink and they made me stand 120 feet up a tree. I
:14:04. > :14:08.had a harness and everything. I would have only felt the benefit of
:14:09. > :14:14.the harness if I fell off. There was just a guy at the bottom of the
:14:15. > :14:19.crane. Basically, the only way I know if I am up to this is by
:14:20. > :14:26.falling off. But you are still here to tell the tale. Thankfully. I
:14:27. > :14:46.James the same question. He said this. James Martin! And that was
:14:47. > :14:53.before the days of airbrushing. That was frightening. Never again. It was
:14:54. > :14:59.when the Spice Girls were big at the time. They opened the show. They
:15:00. > :15:05.asked everybody. Who would be stupid enough to do it? Five chefs. One of
:15:06. > :15:09.the Spice Girls asked me where the toilet was. Because I was dressed as
:15:10. > :15:18.a security guard. I walked her to the toilet!
:15:19. > :15:29.You are here because of your first album? Yes, thank you. What is its
:15:30. > :15:36.name? A Year Of Songs and it comes out tomorrow. There are some famous
:15:37. > :15:43.songs. I put it on a CD player thinking Matt Monroe, the first one,
:15:44. > :15:50.and it is using it. Yes, it is. There is an nice mixture on there.
:15:51. > :15:55.There is a classical stuff and nice and popular classic songs like
:15:56. > :16:04.Summertime. You have got an orchestra. Yes, and a key piece
:16:05. > :16:09.orchestra and it is glorious. The producer has a very cinematic
:16:10. > :16:16.palette. You get wonderful shades of bright and dark. It is wonderful.
:16:17. > :16:22.Not only does it sound pretty good, but you have nailed the crooner
:16:23. > :16:27.look. We have done research into this. There are three key points
:16:28. > :16:33.that you have pulled off, and first of all it is the smart outfit. You
:16:34. > :16:40.have the wistful look in your eye. And keep it all you have the
:16:41. > :16:48.crooner's Li Na. And you are in good company because we have also done
:16:49. > :16:55.some research. Leaning on a staircase. Barry Manilow. The
:16:56. > :17:03.ultimate Welsh crooner. Leaning on a tree. How high up that tree is he?
:17:04. > :17:11.And then we have got the other Welsh icon stuck in a cupboard. I went
:17:12. > :17:18.slightly overboard on the leaning and they have photo shopped me into
:17:19. > :17:24.a cupboard. But it was not only me who had a go because James Martin,
:17:25. > :17:31.you pull it off quite well. That issue on the cover of one of your
:17:32. > :17:42.books. Is that the magazine? A magazine for what? Slow cooking. It
:17:43. > :17:50.is genuine. Music was in your blood as well all through your childhood.
:17:51. > :17:54.You were a scholar. I finished up as a choral scholar. Classical music is
:17:55. > :17:59.the only training I have. I have done it all the way through and I
:18:00. > :18:03.have kept it up. Your lovely friend Andrew has been teaching me for some
:18:04. > :18:10.years. I keep up with music lessons to keep the technique ticking over.
:18:11. > :18:16.Finally, Tim Rice asked me if I would think in a concept. I saw you
:18:17. > :18:19.do it and you were fantastic. Thank you, that went on telly last
:18:20. > :18:31.Christmas and from there somebody said, you really saying. We cannot
:18:32. > :18:38.put down things like horse riding or sword fighting on your CD, it came
:18:39. > :18:45.from that. We went and spoke to your housemaster at Durham college. This
:18:46. > :18:49.is what he said. We had an inter-house music competition that
:18:50. > :18:54.Alex was supposed to be prepared for and he announced to 500 people that
:18:55. > :18:59.the Moroccan folk song that he would sing in Arabic was genuine. It was
:19:00. > :19:05.not. It was a concoction of weird noises that sounded like Arabic and
:19:06. > :19:13.they had been very briefly rehearsed. Pure unadulterated
:19:14. > :19:27.bluffing. But well done. Can we have a blast of that funny Arabic? I was
:19:28. > :19:35.half joking. I remember it even to this day. Some of your classmates
:19:36. > :19:40.are musicians as well. Five musicians, one pilot and two please
:19:41. > :19:44.men. If you had gone down the route of music earlier, what would have
:19:45. > :19:50.happened? I would not have been sitting here. Having done comedy I
:19:51. > :19:55.was given privileged access in a slightly unfair way. Comedy was an
:19:56. > :20:01.excuse to do music as well because we write songs for our show. I kind
:20:02. > :20:09.of kept it going. I don't know where I would be. I would be a middle
:20:10. > :20:13.ranking, not doing averagely well, performing in Dusseldorf. Do not
:20:14. > :20:15.sell yourself short, it is a good album. A Year Of Songs is out
:20:16. > :20:19.Children in Need night is nearly here, which means it's time to begin
:20:20. > :20:23.There will be plenty of laughter, tears and money raised
:20:24. > :20:26.along the way, and Matt will be with them for every mile of it.
:20:27. > :20:36.Did you get there safely? It is all good so far, but we have not started
:20:37. > :20:41.yet. The mist has now blown in here and I am underneath the famous sign
:20:42. > :20:52.which displays how far the team has to go. The East End, 47 miles. I
:20:53. > :21:00.wish, 477. Let me remind you how big total up. We head off to Padstow and
:21:01. > :21:05.then Okehampton, Taunton, Bristol, Winchester, Brighton, Chatham and
:21:06. > :21:14.hopefully arriving in the studio on Friday. I am not standing here alone
:21:15. > :21:26.because I am joined by Team Rickshaw. In general, how are we
:21:27. > :21:32.feeling? Fired up. Ten hours to go, final thoughts. Really excited, I
:21:33. > :21:37.want to get going. Area I said last night you were not feeling so well.
:21:38. > :21:43.You were checked out and what is the verdict? A chest infection, but I
:21:44. > :21:50.will be fine because I am always fine. Just get on with it. On the
:21:51. > :21:57.training side of things we know you had a few rough and tumble moment,
:21:58. > :22:01.Lucy, but, George, how many laps of Richmond Park did you squeeze in
:22:02. > :22:13.before you got on the train today? I did 14. That is 40 miles. I went
:22:14. > :22:19.there and all the way back home to ham. You are cycling a bit further
:22:20. > :22:26.than that on this trip. It is not just the trip, they have to do a
:22:27. > :22:39.speech in front of an enormous crowd. We sent Elliott of 21 big
:22:40. > :22:44.night at Wembley. Elliott, make sure you look at the
:22:45. > :22:52.audience and imagine they all love you. That is important. Two minutes.
:22:53. > :22:59.We have somebody very special and his name is Elliott. Two years ago
:23:00. > :23:04.my life was turned totally upside down. I had not been feeling very
:23:05. > :23:10.well. After some tests they told me I had Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of
:23:11. > :23:14.cancer. That was a real shock. I had never been ill and now I had
:23:15. > :23:20.something that could possibly kill me. I had chemotherapy which made me
:23:21. > :23:26.feel ill for days. I also took pills which would make me gain a lot of
:23:27. > :23:30.weight. I would wake up in the morning feeling really bad and in a
:23:31. > :23:39.horrible mood. It was such a relief to find teams unite, a charity that
:23:40. > :23:43.has pulled together teenagers with cancer and they understand what I am
:23:44. > :23:53.going through. My cancer is in remission, but it has not completely
:23:54. > :24:07.gone away. Please donate if you can. Your money could help people like me
:24:08. > :24:13.and many others. Thank you. Elliott, what was it like to feel
:24:14. > :24:18.that support at Wembley? It was absolutely amazing. I did not expect
:24:19. > :24:22.them to support me as well as they did, it was a once-in-a-lifetime
:24:23. > :24:28.opportunity and I was glad to get it. You just wait, team, until you
:24:29. > :24:32.hear the support of Great Britain, they will be right behind you all
:24:33. > :24:39.the way. Now we need the rickshaw and here it comes. Courtesy of the
:24:40. > :24:44.Royal Navy air Station of cold rows. What an arrival. From here on it is
:24:45. > :24:50.all about you and you will be powering it. Who is going to be the
:24:51. > :24:57.first one up? Before we remind everybody of the route we are taking
:24:58. > :25:07.tomorrow, 60.21 miles, the first rider up at 5am will be... Lucy, it
:25:08. > :25:15.is you. You will have to get a good night's sleep. If you do not mind,
:25:16. > :25:19.Alex and James, would you remind everybody from your nice one studio
:25:20. > :25:22.have everybody can follow this very adventurous trip.
:25:23. > :25:24.Thanks, Matt, and you can track Team Rickshaw's
:25:25. > :25:30.progress throughout their challenge online, the link's on our website.

:26:19. > :26:24.get nervous? Yes, really nervous. Well, it is time. Thank you very
:26:25. > :26:30.much, it has been lovely to see you. Looking forward to it.

:26:34. > :26:36.photo so we can say a proper thank you, so watch out during Xander's
:26:37. > :26:47.Thank you for your company, James. Can I have a brownie now?
:26:48. > :26:50.Tomorrow Matt will be live in Padstow to greet Team Rickshaw,
:26:51. > :26:53.and here to help me cheer them in are David Walliams and British
:26:54. > :26:56.We'll leave you with the dulcet tones of Alexander
:26:57. > :27:05.Armstrong from his new album A Year of Songs, it's On Days Like These.
:27:06. > :27:13.# On days like these when skies are blue and fields are green
:27:14. > :27:23.# I look around and think about what might have been
:27:24. > :27:33.# And then I hear sweet music float around my head
:27:34. > :27:44.# As I recall the many things we left unsaid
:27:45. > :27:53.# It's on days like these that I remember
:27:54. > :28:04.# While your eyes played games with mine
:28:05. > :28:14.# On days like these I wonder what became of you
:28:15. > :28:24.# Maybe today you are singing songs with someone new
:28:25. > :28:34.# I'd like to think you're walking by those willow trees
:28:35. > :28:46.# Remembering the love we knew on days like these
:28:47. > :28:53.# It's on days like these that I remember
:28:54. > :29:05.# While your eyes played games with mine
:29:06. > :29:19.# On days like these I wonder what became of you
