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

:00:21.:00:25.

We are joined by two guests who enjoy getting out and about.

:00:25.:00:29.

He spent the last years travelling across the great expanse of time

:00:29.:00:33.

and space. She has spent years walking across

:00:33.:00:36.

the great British countryside. They are laughing already. It is

:00:36.:00:42.

John Barrowman and Julia Bradbury. I think it was the look that we

:00:42.:00:46.

gave each other. We were both like... Getting out and about.

:00:46.:00:52.

You two are going to be trouble. Good news, there is snow on the

:00:52.:00:59.

hills? It is fantastic. You and I will be out there bracing the

:00:59.:01:01.

weather and building snow men for Countryfile

:01:01.:01:08.

Do you embrace the weather or sit inside? I like to sit inside with a

:01:08.:01:13.

duvet, but I like to snowboard. Getting all wet and sledging and

:01:13.:01:16.

everything, I'm driving up to Glasgow so I will be driving

:01:16.:01:18.

through all of it. Be careful.

:01:18.:01:24.

Stay safe. This wintry weather will be be getting Sir Ranulph Fiennes

:01:25.:01:31.

in the mood. He will attempt the most dangerous ever. He has a great

:01:31.:01:35.

support team in place, but if he needs help, well we know just the

:01:35.:01:42.

gang. They are hard-working, loyal, grumpy, and good at keep up morale.

:01:42.:01:50.

Brilliant. That could only mean one, the panto season is nearly upon us

:01:50.:01:53.

and Priscilla Presley will be telling us how she is she is

:01:53.:01:58.

finding her panto experience. . It is estimated the average child

:01:58.:02:05.

will receive �13 2 worth of presents this year with new figures

:02:05.:02:09.

show over two million households are struggling to pay the bills,

:02:09.:02:12.

some children will receive none at all.

:02:12.:02:15.

There are charities making sure that doesn't happen and Lucy went

:02:15.:02:25.
:02:25.:02:30.

Hello Sophie. What are you doing? am putting tree tags on this tree.

:02:30.:02:35.

How does this work? Well, how it works. We as an organisation

:02:35.:02:38.

collect the names and ages of children from across the north-east

:02:38.:02:42.

who wouldn't get much of a gift at Christmas time. We put the names

:02:42.:02:45.

and the ages of a child on a gift tag. Members of the public take a

:02:45.:02:49.

gift tag and look at the name and the age of the child on the tag and

:02:49.:02:53.

buy a gift. We make sure all the childrens names we have have at

:02:53.:02:56.

least one gift to open on Christmas morning.

:02:56.:03:00.

I am guessing you want to take these? That's your challenge to

:03:00.:03:05.

make sure you get enough gifts for I like a challenge so I will take

:03:05.:03:08.

these as well. Have you heard of the giving tree?

:03:08.:03:10.

I have. These are tickets for the giving

:03:10.:03:15.

tree. This is a boy aged 13. He needs a gift. There is Jack, he

:03:15.:03:21.

is seven and Natalie 12. It can be anything you think is appropriate.

:03:21.:03:24.

That was quick. Yes.

:03:24.:03:28.

Oh my goodness, that's cute. I have written on the card, it is just

:03:28.:03:32.

from me and my family. Lots of businesses across Aberdeen

:03:32.:03:37.

have been collecting presents and there is a company with a huge pile

:03:37.:03:40.

of gifts. Hello, excuse me. Health owe.

:03:40.:03:42.

-- hello. I'm Lucy.

:03:43.:03:47.

I'm Bob. I believe you have been doing some

:03:47.:03:50.

collecting, some gift buying? Indeed, we have.

:03:50.:03:53.

I hear there is a big pile of presents somewhere here? Yeah, let

:03:53.:03:56.

me show you. Had is what I like.

:03:56.:04:03.

-- this is what I like. This is very good Bob and they are

:04:03.:04:08.

all beautifully wrapped as well. You can take that one and take that

:04:08.:04:14.

that one as well. I know how the elves feel. I caught up with Donna

:04:14.:04:17.

whose daughter has received a gift through this scheme for the past

:04:17.:04:22.

six years. So Donna, tell me about the giving tree and what it means

:04:22.:04:27.

to you? I am on a low income. I am a single parent so it gives me that

:04:27.:04:30.

little bit of support. How does this take the pressure off

:04:30.:04:35.

you a bit? It takes a lot of pressure off me because the build-

:04:35.:04:38.

up to Christmas you start getting worried and have I got this and got

:04:38.:04:42.

that and everything, it takes a little bit of work off me knowing

:04:42.:04:48.

that I have got that little bit extra there if I haven't got enough.

:04:48.:04:56.

Next, I took a short drive out of Aberdeen to meet more generous

:04:56.:05:02.

Scots where they have their own elves factory. I know where to find

:05:02.:05:09.

some willing volume volunteers in the elves factory. Do you think

:05:10.:05:13.

that you guys would be able to match some of these kids with a

:05:13.:05:18.

gift and bring them along for me? think we could do that. Do you

:05:18.:05:22.

think so guys? Yes. This is good. This is good. OK, I'm

:05:22.:05:27.

going to hand these out. That was really good. I got rid of seven or

:05:27.:05:31.

eight cards in there. That's brilliant. The people of Aberdeen

:05:31.:05:36.

have been so generous. However, I still do have a lot of cards to get

:05:36.:05:46.
:05:46.:05:48.

rid of and I can't rest until every How wonderful is it to be

:05:49.:05:53.

surrounded by the Christmas spirit and Lucy is up in Aberdeen. Lucy,

:05:53.:05:57.

how are things up there at the moment? Well, we don't need fake

:05:57.:06:01.

snow because we have the real thing. It is proper wintry up here. We

:06:01.:06:05.

have fake snow as well because we have created the giving grottoe.

:06:05.:06:09.

You may recognise the staff particularly the boss over there.

:06:09.:06:14.

Now, here we have Chris on loan from Drum Castle. Are you feeling

:06:14.:06:17.

the pressure? Yeah, the pressure is really on.

:06:17.:06:22.

Yes, yes keep wrapping. We have been giving out the gift

:06:22.:06:25.

tags everywhere and we have been running over the city, but we can

:06:25.:06:30.

take more presents, can't we Sophie? We can. And you are from

:06:30.:06:34.

the giving tree. Now you are really experienced at this. Why did you

:06:34.:06:40.

come to us this year? We have an unprecedented number of children

:06:40.:06:46.

coming to use this year. We had 6,000 on the list and we had

:06:46.:06:51.

additional 200. We needed to get you the extra 00.

:06:51.:06:56.

-- 200. We want the gifts tonight because we want to get them ready

:06:56.:07:00.

so this fellow can do his work? That's correct. We need to get them

:07:00.:07:06.

back out in time for the kids to get them for Christmas. You do the

:07:06.:07:09.

gift tags and people bring the presents.

:07:09.:07:13.

They buy a gift, bring it back to us and we sort it out and ensure

:07:13.:07:18.

every child has one. It is a simple thing and we have been out there

:07:18.:07:22.

running around. There is a little queue, I am getting excited because

:07:22.:07:27.

people are really responding to this. I know the weather is bad,

:07:28.:07:32.

please put your snowshoes on and come over to Union Square. We need

:07:32.:07:35.

as many presents as possible. Everyone else, we will see you back

:07:35.:07:40.

in the giving grottoe and you can fin out how we got on later on.

:07:40.:07:45.

Stay warm, Lucy. Is it right we we couldn't get a director up there

:07:45.:07:54.

because it has been so snowy? She can't hear.

:07:54.:08:01.

LAUGHTER Good for you, girl. Keep smiling.

:08:01.:08:03.

LAUGHTER We saw there the giving tree, it is

:08:03.:08:06.

a brilliant charity. And this weekend, you will be honouring some

:08:06.:08:09.

other British charities who have done great stuff over the last

:08:09.:08:14.

year? Yes, that's right, the Lottery awards are this Saturday,

:08:14.:08:18.

8.40pm on BBC One. If I am correct on the time? You are.

:08:18.:08:25.

It is celebrating the orgz r the organisations have been nominated.

:08:25.:08:29.

�30 million per week are raised by people playing the Lottery and the

:08:29.:08:34.

money goes into different funds that is given to all the winners to

:08:34.:08:38.

help their causes and help their organisations. So it is money going

:08:38.:08:42.

back into the community they win. Tas great cause. It is great to see

:08:42.:08:46.

some of these organisations. There is a huge range. You have

:08:46.:08:52.

everything from education, sport, you know, heritage stuff, there is

:08:52.:08:57.

many more categories. But the thing that, there is places like for

:08:57.:09:02.

instance, there is an organisation that helps homeless men in the New

:09:02.:09:11.

Forest. There is also in Teesside, it is a... Getting Guys back into

:09:11.:09:17.

fitness? A nature reserve. So it is, you have got a vast, a diverse

:09:17.:09:19.

group of people that are being helped.

:09:19.:09:25.

And you are hosting? I'm going to bling it up and for the people who

:09:25.:09:27.

have been nominated and will get the awards, they don't know they

:09:27.:09:33.

are going to win yet, it is their night out. They will bling

:09:33.:09:37.

themselves up. We have some great acts, we have McFly and Chris Hoy

:09:37.:09:41.

and Leona Lewis will be singing. It will be a great night of

:09:41.:09:47.

entertainment. Chris Hoy is one of the onesI went

:09:47.:09:50.

to surprise. I don't know what he is doing

:09:50.:09:57.

playing netball. I think he should stick to cycling. He is hopeless.

:09:57.:10:03.

Only real men wear pink! I stood next to John at the

:10:03.:10:07.

National Lottery awards a couple of years ago, and he had more diamonds

:10:07.:10:13.

on than I did! I kissed you and I leaned over and

:10:13.:10:18.

went to shake Matt's hands and he leaned in and we ended up kissing

:10:18.:10:21.

each other! LAUGHTER

:10:21.:10:24.

It was a Baker special. It worked.

:10:24.:10:29.

You are a busy man. You have panto, but you are in a new drama called

:10:29.:10:33.

Arrow and you play a Well Dressed Man? Well, that's the name of the

:10:33.:10:36.

character because they didn't want to reveal who he was and they are

:10:36.:10:40.

building him throughout the series. My name, I have been revealed on

:10:40.:10:45.

Monday night, it plays on another channel in the UK and it is, I'm

:10:45.:10:51.

known as Malcolm merlin and I'm the villain of the group.

:10:51.:10:58.

As far as the baddy is concern, you like that, you played a baddy in

:10:58.:11:02.

Desperate Housewives? I have got such diversity in my career. In

:11:02.:11:07.

Jack and the bean stalk, I am the hero and in Torchwood, I was the

:11:07.:11:12.

hero and now I get get play the bad guy and do nasty things.

:11:13.:11:19.

Well, let's see how bad you get. And terminal laziness has lost its

:11:19.:11:23.

humour. You are wondering why now? The

:11:23.:11:31.

better question is why not sooner? It is my trust fund. Which is

:11:31.:11:41.
:11:41.:11:46.

comprised of my money. Oh, excuse me. Was come priced -- comprised.

:11:46.:11:49.

APPLAUSE I love that. I just said, "That's

:11:49.:11:59.
:11:59.:11:59.

my son in the show." And Matt goes, "In real life?" Thank you very much.

:11:59.:12:00.

LAUGHTER That's filmed in Vancouver. You are

:12:00.:12:07.

zipping around all over the place? Commuting between Vancouver and LA

:12:07.:12:12.

and after I get the pantomime over, I will go back to the the States

:12:13.:12:20.

and I will commute from Pam Springs. How does it compare to British

:12:20.:12:25.

British television? In America they field you more. They have vast

:12:25.:12:30.

amounts of food on the table and none of the actresses eat it. All

:12:30.:12:34.

the boys are like, "Yeah, chicken wings." I keep putting on weight

:12:34.:12:43.

and the girls get thinner. still look good.

:12:43.:12:47.

Now, this year, we have been on a mission to help The One Show

:12:47.:12:50.

viewers find people they have been searching For Non Stop years.

:12:50.:12:59.

So far, we have renited an 81-year- old woman with a sister she never

:12:59.:13:04.

met. Tonight, we are searching for a

:13:04.:13:07.

long lost friend. The 1960s and in the clubs of the

:13:07.:13:13.

West Midlands, a band band called Silver Jade were trying to hit the

:13:13.:13:19.

big time. They answered an ad in the Coventry Telegraph. All that

:13:20.:13:23.

remains of Silver Jade now is one photograph. The band split up and

:13:23.:13:27.

the band members went their separate ways.

:13:27.:13:31.

Tony was the guitarist and he has fond memories of his time with

:13:31.:13:34.

Silver Jade. Were you any good? Yeah, we were

:13:34.:13:39.

brilliant. So if you were to go and see Silver Jade you were out for a

:13:39.:13:44.

proper night? Yeah, a good night.. Some laughs? And the bingo in

:13:44.:13:50.

between. The bingo in between!

:13:50.:13:51.

LAUGHTER Tony has asked The One Show for

:13:51.:13:59.

help. He would love to be reunited with one of his band mates, Diane.

:13:59.:14:07.

She was a great friend. She really was. She was closer than a sister.

:14:07.:14:10.

I hope she carried on singing because she was brilliant. She had

:14:10.:14:14.

a lovely voice and it would be nice to catch up.

:14:14.:14:19.

Despite his efforts, Tony had no luck tracking Diane down, but we

:14:19.:14:23.

love a challenge so to find the long lost Diane, I have enlisted

:14:23.:14:30.

the help of Kat. If they have moved house or changed

:14:30.:14:34.

their surname and moved away, that's what I do. I track them down.

:14:34.:14:40.

So, we have got Diane's name, a few details from Tony and that rather

:14:40.:14:45.

bad photograph. It looks like Kat has her work cut out.

:14:45.:14:52.

. We not certain how to spell Diane's surname. But we do know

:14:52.:14:56.

that she had parents and we also know that she had a brother called

:14:57.:15:06.
:15:07.:15:07.

Her first job is to look at the online birth index, but she cannot

:15:07.:15:11.

find a Diane, because of the unknown spelling of her surname.

:15:11.:15:19.

But any address, however old, is always useful. Tony remembers a

:15:19.:15:24.

house in Coventry. So the next stop is the 1972 electoral roll. Then

:15:24.:15:31.

some we go. That's why we can't find them, it is spelt differently.

:15:31.:15:36.

So that's them. She then goes to the current electoral roll to try

:15:36.:15:41.

to find where she lives now. But she cannot find her there. But she

:15:41.:15:46.

does find her mother. When we get in touch with her, she tells us

:15:46.:15:56.
:15:56.:15:56.

that Dyer and is working in Malta. So, Cat by jumps on a plane to

:15:56.:16:03.

track her down. Catt is getting ready for a big night out. In the

:16:03.:16:10.

town's main square, the tribute band ABBA UK is on stage, but we

:16:10.:16:17.

have spotted Tony's long-lost band member. The singer is now on other

:16:17.:16:25.

than Diane. We have found her! Backstage, and Diane is delighted

:16:25.:16:30.

to hear that Tony is looking for her. Tony was not only did it a

:16:30.:16:36.

miss in the band, he actually became part of the family. -- not

:16:36.:16:40.

only the guitarist in the band. He became like an older brother to me..

:16:40.:16:47.

Would you like to see a photograph of him? I would love to. That Tony!

:16:47.:16:56.

A little bit more podgy! He will not mind you saying that. Would you

:16:56.:17:00.

like to rekindle your friendship? That would be lovely. I wonder how

:17:01.:17:05.

we will get on now, after so long. The second part of that is coming

:17:05.:17:10.

up at the end of the show.. It is certainly worth watching. We were

:17:10.:17:15.

just talking about long-lost friends. Yes, we had a really good

:17:15.:17:20.

group of friends in Sheffield, where I went to school. My best

:17:20.:17:27.

friend lived next door. I lost touch with all of the group. They

:17:27.:17:34.

are all out there. Hello, guys. is so easily don't. Yes, and even

:17:34.:17:38.

when you reconnect with people, you lose the number, or something

:17:38.:17:44.

happens. Life gets in the way. People change, people are different,

:17:44.:17:49.

people grow closer, or they grow apart. I left Glasgow when I was

:17:49.:17:53.

eight. There was one person and I never knew what happened to him.

:17:53.:18:00.

His name was Scot Donald. I wonder where he is. There were few others,

:18:00.:18:04.

but I have not kept in touch with most of the kids I grew up with,

:18:04.:18:10.

because I was only eight. I remember Scott, he was younger than

:18:10.:18:16.

me, but I remember him as being blonde, with curly hair. We will

:18:16.:18:25.

see what happens by the end of the show. Across the country, there are

:18:25.:18:30.

people all in final rehearsals for the opening night of panto. Alex

:18:30.:18:35.

managed to get behind the scenes of Snow White in Wimbledon, to see how

:18:36.:18:42.

the panto is put together. It is important not to forget the real

:18:42.:18:48.

meaning of Christmas - panto! Now, where is this the it to? It is

:18:48.:18:56.

behind you! All right, we're not having any of that. Panto is a huge

:18:57.:19:01.

theatrical undertaking. Filling 1,600 seats like these takes a crew

:19:01.:19:06.

of at least the team working about the clock. With a cast of 20,

:19:06.:19:09.

delivering 67 performances over the next five weeks, they have got

:19:09.:19:15.

their work cut out. Essential to any pantomime is the making and

:19:15.:19:19.

setting of the many bold and outlandish props. You are in charge

:19:19.:19:23.

of the props - what are the challenges? Just keeping them

:19:23.:19:27.

together, making sure every cars number has got what they need at

:19:27.:19:31.

the right time. One the production is going on, you have got people

:19:31.:19:36.

going backwards and forwards - how do you keep a sense of order?

:19:36.:19:42.

speak to people in rehearsal, we had a two-week rehearsal period,

:19:42.:19:49.

getting everything put in the right place. This is the apple. I would

:19:49.:19:57.

not bite it. Is it deadly poisonous? It is. Every panto

:19:57.:20:04.

character must stand out from the crowd. Nicola, you of a wardrobe

:20:04.:20:09.

assistant - how many costumes have you got? It must be about 80,

:20:09.:20:14.

probably more than that, actually. Which ones are the most difficult

:20:14.:20:21.

to get on and off? Probably the ensemble ones, because they have

:20:21.:20:28.

the quickest changes, and they have a lot of accessories. Some of the

:20:28.:20:31.

biggest names in film and television have given panto ago.

:20:31.:20:37.

This includes Sir Ian McKellen, David Hasselhoff, Pamela Anderson

:20:37.:20:45.

and Sue Pollard. Joining this list are two more big screen stars.

:20:45.:20:49.

Priscilla, how much did you know about pantomime before you agreed

:20:49.:20:54.

to do this may then I honestly did not know anything about it. It is

:20:54.:20:59.

new to me. I am a new kid on the block. It is a lot of work. I have

:20:59.:21:07.

been having a really good time. 67 performances! I know, it is going

:21:07.:21:16.

to be gruelling. Also, Warwick Davies. Doing films and TV all year

:21:16.:21:21.

is fantastic, but you cannot beat standing up in front of the crowd.

:21:21.:21:24.

The adrenalin and the discipline, because there is no chance of doing

:21:24.:21:29.

it again. You have to get it right first time. If you are not on song,

:21:29.:21:35.

you know about it, because the audience let you know. Are you

:21:36.:21:41.

ready for the booing and hissing? Well, I do not know if I am. I know

:21:41.:21:46.

it is a part of it. I think the challenge for me to Finney to keep

:21:46.:21:50.

in the scene without getting thrown out of character. Because you want

:21:50.:21:57.

to ban tobacco. I know that you're going to go curtain-up on Friday.

:21:57.:22:05.

Priscilla banter back. Do you think I could get a part? Just looking at

:22:05.:22:09.

you, I think you could play a simpleton of some sort. I am

:22:09.:22:12.

surrounded by a group of people who know exactly what they're going

:22:12.:22:22.
:22:22.:22:22.

through, it is cast members from panto in Epsom, Tunbridge Wells and

:22:22.:22:28.

Southsea. What is it like to play the baddie? It is so much fun, you

:22:28.:22:36.

get to be mean to everyone. A baddy with great false eyelashes! We are

:22:36.:22:43.

going to have a cackle competition. Would you like to go first? I do

:22:43.:22:53.
:22:53.:22:55.

not want to do mine now. That's awful. John? I think Leanne was the

:22:55.:23:02.

best. We have also got Jenny and Charlotte, Snow Whites in Epsom and

:23:02.:23:08.

Tunbridge Wells. The question is, well, it is awkward, actually,

:23:08.:23:13.

because I was going to say, how hot is your Prince Charming, but he is

:23:13.:23:18.

standing behind you. He is a pretty good catch, isn't he? He is all

:23:18.:23:22.

right. Is he a good kisser? We do not know yet, we have not got to

:23:22.:23:28.

that part. The key thing for your character is the ability to swoon,

:23:28.:23:33.

of course. So we're going to have a little competition, with Julia.

:23:33.:23:43.
:23:43.:23:43.

Starting with Charlotte... Oh, lovely. Jenny? Julia, some stiff

:23:43.:23:53.
:23:53.:23:57.

competition, go for it... Darling, I can't! Over here, we have got

:23:57.:24:06.

Karen and Max. You play the dwarves, in Portsmouth, and the Evil Queen

:24:06.:24:12.

in your panto is Lisa Riley. How have rehearsals been? It is pretty

:24:12.:24:16.

crazy, but we are managing it. Hopefully, she will be returning

:24:16.:24:23.

soon from Strictly. We were Cheryl the best. She is amazing. What we

:24:23.:24:29.

want to know is, will she bring her dancing skills to the panto?

:24:29.:24:34.

don't know if we can give that away. I think there will be a bit of

:24:34.:24:40.

dancing in there somewhere. John is also in panto, but is it in

:24:40.:24:50.
:24:50.:24:51.

Glasgow? Yes, it is. I do all of it, baby. I even do a little rumba!

:24:51.:24:58.

would love to see that! You are jack in Jack And The Beanstalk.

:24:58.:25:06.

Correct. We have I think the biggest Binstock in the country. --

:25:06.:25:11.

Beanstalk. Put it this way, it has all been done for the theatre,

:25:11.:25:18.

which seats 3,000 people. It is a vast theatre, so it has to be big.

:25:18.:25:26.

How are you rehearsals going? going really well. I am rehearsing

:25:26.:25:31.

at the moment with The Krankies. We have two weeks of rehearsal, and

:25:31.:25:36.

that's it. Ours is not so much the traditional pantomime, more of a

:25:36.:25:41.

big musical spectacle. Is it hard to get everybody together, is that

:25:41.:25:46.

why it is just two weeks? Basically, that is all the time you want to

:25:46.:25:52.

spend in rehearsals to get it going. It evolves, doesn't it? It starts

:25:52.:25:57.

off at about two hours, and by the end of the run, it is about two

:25:57.:26:04.

hours, 45. It is so much on. It is the best tonic over Christmas, and

:26:05.:26:08.

with everything that is going on with the recession, if you have got

:26:08.:26:14.

a local pantomime, try to save the pennies if you can and go and see

:26:14.:26:19.

it. It is a great night. Maybe that could be your Christmas present.

:26:19.:26:27.

is a really good introduction for kids to the theatre as well. Ours

:26:27.:26:35.

is 16 months, we will take him next year. I would love to be a wicked

:26:35.:26:41.

Queen. Why not get down and support your local theatre production?

:26:41.:26:45.

Jamie has been trying to take a photograph worthy of a One Show

:26:45.:26:54.

Christmas card. Whether it is mist, snow or hit the rain, water has

:26:54.:26:59.

great potential for photography, and him in the Pennines, I am

:26:59.:27:06.

starting my quest to take a watery One Show Christmas card. A rushing

:27:06.:27:10.

river like these can make for really dramatic photographs. If you

:27:10.:27:14.

take control of the shutter speed and really slow it down, it gives a

:27:14.:27:18.

fantastic sense of movement in the photograph. But to do that, you

:27:18.:27:24.

will need a tripod. This photograph was exposed for five seconds, and

:27:24.:27:28.

although it is not bad, I think my Christmas card should be altogether

:27:28.:27:38.
:27:38.:27:38.

more frosty. To do that, I will need some help. This climatologist

:27:38.:27:44.

can make all sorts of refects on demand. And he knows the truth

:27:44.:27:49.

about how, why and when water freezes. Tap water freezes at zero

:27:49.:27:54.

degrees, but pure water only freezes at minus 36. Tap water has

:27:54.:28:00.

got moats of minerals and chemicals in it. The reason tap water freezes

:28:00.:28:05.

at a warmer temperature is because it sticks to the impurities,

:28:05.:28:09.

allowing the first ice crystal to form. And when one goes, the others

:28:09.:28:14.

follow, like dominoes. We can demonstrate this freezing domino

:28:14.:28:19.

effect by taking this bottle of water. This is just some pure water.

:28:19.:28:28.

We have called it down below Fredy -- below zero, and you can simulate

:28:28.:28:33.

the equivalent effect of impurities in the side it by giving it a shake.

:28:33.:28:43.
:28:43.:28:45.

It should freeze. But then you go. That is amazing. That's the domino

:28:45.:28:55.
:28:55.:28:56.

effect. Wow! So, each one just knocks the next one on. This is

:28:56.:29:00.

pure H 2 O, which has been made under laboratory conditions. But

:29:00.:29:06.

what about the frost former One Show Christmas card? What I am

:29:06.:29:10.

after is war frost, the most common one we see in the garden. So, how

:29:10.:29:19.

was it formed? This is a very cold metal bar, minus 80. All the water

:29:19.:29:24.

molecules in the environment have deposited directly onto the surface.

:29:24.:29:32.

You can see them growing. Yes, the frost is starting to develop.

:29:32.:29:37.

makes the really is, crunchy frost? You need two things, Brittney

:29:37.:29:41.

increased amount of water vapour, and also, the longer you leave it.

:29:41.:29:47.

The longer we leave this, the frost gets much quicker. Sped up, it is

:29:47.:29:52.

easy to see the frost grow. For my card, I want to create an all-over

:29:52.:29:57.

dusting of frost on some first of objects. In these minus 80 degree

:29:57.:30:04.

freezer, I have put some festive props. The thing to remember is

:30:04.:30:10.

that once you'd take it out of the freezer, these objects will melt

:30:11.:30:20.
:30:21.:30:22.

quite quickly. So, you have got to be fast. And frost is actually

:30:22.:30:32.
:30:32.:30:33.

The snowflake is not bad. But the sign is a bit disappointing.

:30:33.:30:37.

Clearly, choosing the right objects is key.

:30:37.:30:42.

Ah, but the berries, now that's more like it. Frosting as I look at

:30:42.:30:47.

them. This will work with a home freezer though as it is not so cold,

:30:47.:30:53.

the frost will be thinner, but it is worth a a go.

:30:53.:30:58.

Now that one is a winner, happy Nice, but it might have been easier

:30:58.:31:07.

to wait for a frosty morning. Have you made home-made Christmas

:31:07.:31:16.

made cards? We are going to try and make cards with myself and Scott

:31:16.:31:20.

and the dog. You told me a story about printing

:31:20.:31:27.

the cards? My mum got one and went, "John, what's this? A printed

:31:27.:31:36.

Christmas card. I'm your mother." I mother." I said, "You're lucky you

:31:36.:31:45.

got one.". This family built a Lego statue. That's out of Lego. That's

:31:45.:31:52.

a lot of time on your hands! Exactly. But it is really good.

:31:52.:32:00.

If you ever posed for a family Christmas card, we would love to

:32:00.:32:05.

know. We will show some of the best later. Have you seen Matt or Julia?

:32:05.:32:10.

They always go off somewhere and walk about. What are they doing?

:32:10.:32:15.

yeah, we are just taking a little walk through Julia's new book. This

:32:15.:32:22.

is lovely. Where are we at the moment? Right there, is the very

:32:22.:32:32.
:32:32.:32:33.

beautiful picturesque Crassle C -- castle Cragg. A baby gem of a walk.

:32:33.:32:39.

Well, Alfred, he came up with 214 walks? Well, he didn't come up with

:32:39.:32:45.

them, they existed already. Alfred Wainwright was a fan who was

:32:45.:32:49.

in love with the Lake District. He fell in love and orchestrated his

:32:49.:32:52.

whole life to end up living in the Lake District and dedicated 13

:32:52.:33:01.

years of his life to writing these books, the wane Wright Walks -- the

:33:01.:33:07.

the Wainwright Walks. We are so high up, we have probably escaped

:33:07.:33:16.

the snow. Oh, another puddle! you have chosen ten. A beautiful

:33:16.:33:22.

mountain range. A big, wide mountain edge. A proper challenge.

:33:22.:33:30.

A real proper walk. I'm pleased I put the layers on.

:33:30.:33:33.

Me too. It is coming up to Christmas, why

:33:33.:33:38.

would you not go out and get Wainwright's? I thought you would

:33:38.:33:43.

ask that question. Obviously, you are going to buy mine. If you are a

:33:43.:33:47.

proper Wainwright fan, you have already got Wainwright's because

:33:47.:33:50.

Alfred Wainwright has been around for a long time. This is a new

:33:50.:33:55.

fresh approach and I tell you about making television programmes and

:33:55.:34:00.

all the tricks of the trade. And all the good places to stop off.

:34:00.:34:08.

Which places have jukeboxes? not jukeboxes, it is not that kind

:34:08.:34:11.

of a guide. People come up to you and say, do

:34:11.:34:17.

you do the walks? Do you go all the way up to the top? They think that

:34:17.:34:23.

you and are on different parts of the country. We can reveal this is

:34:23.:34:33.
:34:33.:34:33.

how your series is shot. This is how we do so much these

:34:33.:34:40.

days. Can we stop then? We can stop. Where is Grumpy? Stay where you are,

:34:40.:34:45.

because the pair of you travel around the British countryside, we

:34:45.:34:47.

thought we would test your knowledge in a game that we like to

:34:47.:34:57.

call... Ah, great. It is called what? Where Am I?

:34:57.:35:03.

Now, basically you will have 45 seconds each to guess what landmark

:35:03.:35:09.

you are walking in front of. Right. John and I will give you clues and

:35:09.:35:15.

the winner will win a beautiful golden flask as modelled by Josh.

:35:15.:35:22.

Very nice, Josh. Nicely done. Julia, you are up first. John, take it

:35:22.:35:28.

away? Dame ver lin sang about they are during World War II. They are

:35:28.:35:32.

made up of billions of crushed shells of tiny sea creatures.

:35:32.:35:37.

They are white. They are white. The white hills.

:35:37.:35:43.

Some people are hoping for some of this at Christmas... Snow.

:35:43.:35:49.

Yes, snow... Snowdonia, Wales. This Is described as the eighth

:35:49.:35:55.

wonderful world. Scientists say it is formed by cooling malt and lava.

:35:55.:36:04.

It is on an island. It is big. Giant's cause causeway.

:36:04.:36:14.

These can be found on chalk slopes... Time's up.

:36:14.:36:17.

Stonehenge. Well Well done, Julia.

:36:17.:36:22.

Matt's turn. Are you ready? . I need a drink.

:36:22.:36:29.

Matt, this castle was once owned by madam tu sards? A raging fire swept

:36:29.:36:35.

through the castle castle it is a tourist attraction.

:36:35.:36:40.

Warwick Castle You can lull by the shores of this

:36:40.:36:50.
:36:50.:36:51.

natural wonder formed 10,000 years ago? Is it... Your baby. It It

:36:51.:36:57.

rhymes with... Pass. It is Lulworth Cove.

:36:57.:37:01.

It is a Welsh name. It is the fallest waterfall in in Wales. It

:37:01.:37:11.
:37:11.:37:13.

is known as the Brewed Druid's Bowl... Ah, that's given half of

:37:13.:37:20.

the answer. And the score is? Julia three,

:37:20.:37:25.

would you please deliver the golden flask?

:37:25.:37:31.

Sorry, it is a bit tacky. It has just been painted. Is that safe for

:37:31.:37:37.

us to use on Thursday and Friday? When it dries.

:37:37.:37:41.

It smells a bit gold. It might smell, but it is lovely.

:37:41.:37:49.

They will be trying to melt it down. Most of us are generating a huge

:37:49.:37:53.

amount of data just by going about our daily business. Tim Harford

:37:53.:38:03.
:38:03.:38:04.

tries to work out if the numbers Astronomy is at the cutting edge of

:38:04.:38:10.

the biggest information revolution in the history of mankind.

:38:10.:38:14.

The next generation radio telescopes will generate about 20

:38:14.:38:17.

terabytes of data every second. To give you an idea of the scale,

:38:17.:38:23.

that's like filling up the university library in Oxford twice

:38:23.:38:31.

every second. It is called Big Da to to -- data

:38:31.:38:37.

to ke to describe the the information we harvest.

:38:37.:38:41.

Today, we can use the electronic devices to capture, store and

:38:41.:38:46.

analyse for data about the way we live than ever before.

:38:46.:38:51.

Sadie is professor of scibber security -- cyber security at

:38:51.:38:58.

Oxford University. Any device device you that use, for

:38:58.:39:03.

buying stuff, for work work purposes from your home, the

:39:03.:39:07.

surfing of your internet television, from your phone, all of these

:39:07.:39:11.

devices are capturing information about what you are doing. There are

:39:11.:39:15.

even wheelie bins that will track inside what is inside your thrash.

:39:15.:39:21.

We are talk being smart grids monitoring your power consumption,

:39:21.:39:28.

billing you more intelligently, but knowing what you are doing, what

:39:28.:39:30.

you are using, are you using your kettle? How many people are in your

:39:31.:39:35.

house at any one time? Big data, big brother, that's the worry. On

:39:35.:39:40.

the positive side, big data is information that can transform our

:39:40.:39:50.
:39:50.:39:51.

lives. IBM is working with a city Government, local councils, a whole

:39:51.:39:57.

bunch of areas are helping improve the efficiency of the city.

:39:57.:40:00.

It might be sensors in the road that detect where the traffic is

:40:00.:40:04.

and in the morning and at rush hour in the evenings, they can optimise

:40:04.:40:09.

the traffic light sequencing so traffic can keep flowing.

:40:09.:40:14.

In healthcare, the amount of data, it is huge, doctors can't keep up

:40:14.:40:20.

with it, but by using computers to find out if something he is seeing

:40:20.:40:24.

with a patient is something which has been hinted at by other people

:40:24.:40:28.

and starting to become an epidemic or a problem which nobody has seen

:40:29.:40:32.

before. What about personally, how is it

:40:32.:40:37.

going to help me? One example in my house, I have a lot of sensors to

:40:37.:40:43.

know how much power different appliances are using and and if the

:40:43.:40:46.

windows and the doors have been left open. I have got this

:40:46.:40:50.

application on my phone which allows me to see what is happening

:40:50.:40:53.

in the house. We can turn on the outside light. If I click that and

:40:54.:41:01.

turn it on, it sends a signal from my phone to my house and we can see

:41:01.:41:06.

the outside lights are on. Andy talks to his house and his house

:41:06.:41:10.

tweets back to him. He invented a barcode that let's his dinner

:41:10.:41:13.

decide how to cook itself. It is a temperature sensitive

:41:13.:41:16.

barcode. This is for a microwave of the future which doesn't have

:41:17.:41:20.

buttons to programme it, you just barcode and scan the thing you want

:41:20.:41:23.

to cook. It goes to the internet and looks up the cooking

:41:23.:41:27.

instructions and programmes itself. The clever bit there, if the pizza

:41:27.:41:31.

is frozen, you get a different barcode scanned and if it is

:41:31.:41:36.

defrosted so the cooking times will be differentful your dinner will be

:41:36.:41:40.

cooked and ready for you. It is exciting, but scary. Do we really

:41:40.:41:47.

want our personal information stored on a distant computer we

:41:47.:41:50.

can't access? It is about understanding the risks to which

:41:50.:41:54.

you are exposed. In physical space, you lock your front door, you lock

:41:54.:41:57.

your car door, we need to understand how to do that in

:41:57.:42:02.

cyberspace and it is not easy m when it comes to personal data, you

:42:02.:42:05.

need to make sure you are sharing it with people that you fully

:42:05.:42:10.

understand who they are and I would recommend you only ever share it

:42:10.:42:13.

with people knowingly and consciously, don't tick the little

:42:13.:42:17.

box that says, "Yes, you can share this with any third party that we

:42:17.:42:22.

want to share it with." I am not suggesting we don't engage with

:42:22.:42:25.

this, I think we do, but we have to do so responsibly.

:42:25.:42:28.

We can't reverse the information revolution, but if we want it to

:42:28.:42:38.
:42:38.:42:42.

make our lives better, we need to Six months, 2,000 miles, minus 90

:42:42.:42:47.

centigrade, that's the winter journey across Antarctica a team of

:42:47.:42:54.

British explorers are about to endure, and the team are here.

:42:54.:42:59.

Thanks for joining us on the eve of this big expedition. Can you

:42:59.:43:08.

explain sir Ranulph what the expedition entails? The Antarctic

:43:08.:43:14.

con Antarctic Antarctic couldn't nant is huge. Nobody has cross it

:43:14.:43:19.

had during the polar winner. The Russians -- winter. You do not get

:43:19.:43:23.

permission to go down there at all from your Foreign Office whatever

:43:23.:43:28.

country you come come from. There are no rescue facilities.

:43:28.:43:33.

Why are you doing it? Because nobody has done it before and if we

:43:33.:43:40.

don't it, some people will do and our Captain Scott died in 1912, we

:43:40.:43:44.

reckon we can raise over $10 million for Seeing Is Believing

:43:44.:43:48.

which will treat avoidable blindness over the world and that

:43:48.:43:52.

will buy a lot of �9 spectacles and change people's lives from cataract

:43:52.:43:56.

operations. It is an easier way than having a jumble sale to raise

:43:56.:44:00.

large sums of money. Is that what persuaded them to

:44:00.:44:10.

It has taken me four years to persuade the Foreign Office. You

:44:10.:44:15.

cannot be rescued, because there are no rescue facilities, down

:44:15.:44:20.

there. No aeroplanes for 10,000 miles. If you run into trouble, you

:44:20.:44:24.

become embarrassing, because you are dead, to your government, and

:44:24.:44:31.

so, sensibly, they will not give permits. Ian, you're the man in

:44:31.:44:36.

charge of keeping this expedition on track - what are the unique

:44:36.:44:44.

challenges? We do not actually know how the equipment is going to

:44:44.:44:49.

handle minus 90 degrees Centigrade. There is no cold chamber which we

:44:49.:44:53.

can test the stuff in. It is just a case of making sure we are doing

:44:53.:45:00.

everything right every day, trying to get our vehicles and land

:45:00.:45:06.

drains... How are you getting there? We will have a vehicle land

:45:06.:45:10.

train behind us, telling the equipment. And we have got a living

:45:10.:45:16.

container, which has a kitchen, toilet and shower. It is not

:45:16.:45:23.

roughing it too bad. We have got some of the kit here. A absolutely

:45:23.:45:31.

huge pair of boots. Yes, these are some of the lightweight expeditions

:45:31.:45:41.
:45:41.:45:43.

boots, rated down to about minus 100 Centigrade. You can have a look.

:45:43.:45:49.

Put them on and get on the treadmill! This is a skiddier

:45:49.:45:54.

helmet, it has got a heated visor. We will have a battery pack system,

:45:54.:46:01.

which we can link to heated gloves, heated insoles, visor, and also

:46:01.:46:05.

power our torch as well. It is going to be pitch black, so we will

:46:05.:46:09.

be able to see where we are going. Can you give us a run-down, when we

:46:10.:46:13.

look at this map, of what you will look at this map, of what you will

:46:13.:46:20.

be doing. Basically, we will be arriving at the point at the top in

:46:20.:46:25.

the middle of January, to set up and test the equipment. 21st March

:46:26.:46:29.

is the official start date, the official start of winter in

:46:29.:46:36.

Antarctica, because it has got to be a winter crossing. Sir Ranulph

:46:36.:46:40.

will be skiing every day, and one of us will take turns skiing with

:46:40.:46:47.

Sir Ranulph to cross the continent. And Tim, you're staying right here

:46:47.:46:52.

in the UK. You will be analysing the readings and the findings. What

:46:52.:47:01.

is it that you expect to find? very happy that I will be staying

:47:01.:47:06.

in the UK. It is a golden opportunity for scientists to go on

:47:06.:47:11.

this 2000 mile trek to gain data from an area in which there is not

:47:11.:47:15.

much data in existence. It is getting them on board, and making

:47:15.:47:19.

sure they get the data analysed at the end of it. We have got several

:47:19.:47:25.

projects. For example, we will have a GPS travelling over with the

:47:25.:47:32.

train, the expedition, to go all over the continent. And then, we

:47:32.:47:36.

will be collecting samples of bacteria, because this might be of

:47:36.:47:44.

interest for conservation, that sort of thing. Sir Ranulph, 68

:47:44.:47:48.

years old, you're going to be skiing every day - mentally, how do

:47:48.:47:53.

you prepare for this, knowing that nobody has ever done this before?

:47:53.:47:58.

Yes, but we have been doing what nobody has done before for about 40

:47:58.:48:04.

years. Nobody has ever paid a penny, and what comes out of it is the

:48:04.:48:11.

charity. We have got a website for 20,000 state schools. They will be

:48:11.:48:15.

able to speak to us in Antarctica. We have got the science, the

:48:15.:48:21.

charity, many different aims of the expedition. But also, there is the

:48:21.:48:24.

competition with certain other groups who might want to do it

:48:24.:48:28.

first. It seems like an understatement to say that we wish

:48:28.:48:33.

you all the very best. Stay safe. You will be able to follow the

:48:33.:48:37.

progress of the expedition on the progress of the expedition on the

:48:37.:48:47.
:48:47.:48:48.

Internet. Details can be found on our website. You have been sending

:48:48.:48:53.

in your family Christmas cards, and in your family Christmas cards, and

:48:53.:49:03.
:49:03.:49:15.

we have had quite a few in already. This one is from Steve and Julie,

:49:15.:49:25.
:49:25.:49:29.

in Shropshire. And this one, from Surrey. Just keep them coming in.

:49:29.:49:39.
:49:39.:49:40.

We will show some more later on if we have got time. Earlier, Anita

:49:40.:49:48.

Rani was trying to reunite two long-lost friends. The couple were

:49:48.:49:53.

long-lost friends. The couple were in a band together in the 1960s.

:49:53.:49:57.

Silver Jade covered the chart- topping hits of the 1960s every

:49:57.:50:02.

weekend in clubs like this one, but sadly, Tony has just one a faded

:50:02.:50:09.

photograph of the band performing. Great days? Oh, yes, that's Diane,

:50:09.:50:15.

and that's me. She was a good laugh. There is certain friends in life

:50:15.:50:19.

that you wish you kept in contact with, and she was one of them.

:50:19.:50:22.

not going to keep him in the dark any longer. Guess what, I'm going

:50:22.:50:32.

to show you some footage. Do you recognise either of those ladies?

:50:32.:50:42.

Yes, I do, that one. Who is it? looks like Diane. Don't tell me it

:50:42.:50:49.

is. Did she know a was looking for her? I want you to turn around.

:50:49.:50:58.

Don't tell me she is behind me! That's wonderful! Absolutely

:50:58.:51:08.
:51:08.:51:11.

wonderful! All these years! haven't changed. Don't say that.

:51:11.:51:18.

You haven't! The two friends are back together, after 40 years. They

:51:18.:51:23.

have got a lot of catching up to do. You were not believe what you have

:51:23.:51:27.

just done for me, really. I could not believe it. Are you going to

:51:27.:51:37.
:51:37.:51:37.

stay in touch? Oh, yes, definitely. Tony had no idea whatsoever. That

:51:37.:51:42.

was a brilliant way union. I don't think they will stop talking for

:51:42.:51:47.

another 40 years, and who knows, maybe Silver Jade will get back on

:51:47.:51:57.
:51:57.:52:07.

the road again. # All I have to do is dream...

:52:07.:52:15.

A cash and look who is here! That was brilliant. Lovely to see you.

:52:15.:52:19.

We are so pleased that you found each other again. Tony, a lot of

:52:19.:52:26.

people will be thinking the same as me, I'm sure - did you hold a torch

:52:26.:52:35.

for Diane, back in the day? really, no. To tell you the truth,

:52:35.:52:40.

yes, I did. But it was a long time ago. But we were like brother and

:52:40.:52:46.

sister. We had a great time playing together. Are you still back in the

:52:47.:52:52.

old routine? I still play, but mainly at home now. Diane still

:52:52.:53:02.

sings, which is brilliant. Any ABBA songs? No, I do a few Beatles.

:53:02.:53:10.

you lost a bit of weight? certainly have. Not bad for 69.

:53:10.:53:14.

Diane, what have you been doing since you got reunited? Have you

:53:14.:53:19.

been hanging out? Yes, we have been for a meal together. We have been

:53:19.:53:29.

keeping in touch. Is it the same? Oh, yes, it never changes. We are

:53:29.:53:36.

still the same. It is lovely. come you lost touch in the first

:53:36.:53:40.

place? Basically, the last time we met was when I was in Wales,

:53:40.:53:46.

working in a hospital there, in theatres, and Diane and her mother

:53:46.:53:51.

came around, they were going to see a show, and Diane did not want to

:53:51.:53:56.

do the solo on her own, so she asked me, would I do it, and I said

:53:56.:54:01.

yes. It was 2.5 years after the band broke up. What about the other

:54:01.:54:09.

members? We have not seen them. can find them! We are trying to

:54:09.:54:16.

unite more people like these two, so if you need our help, get in

:54:16.:54:22.

touch with us. We are happy to help! Now, throughout the show,

:54:22.:54:25.

Lucy has been working hard with Father Christmas to get as many

:54:25.:54:30.

prisons as possible for the young people of Aberdeen. How many have

:54:30.:54:39.

you got I think we are doing really well. Welcome back to Aberdeen, and

:54:39.:54:44.

welcome back to the grotto. Santa is over there. These are people

:54:44.:54:50.

queuing up to give good tonight. This looks fantastic, Sophie - have

:54:50.:54:55.

you been eating something blue? Yes, you have. You can pass that to our

:54:55.:55:00.

elves. I just want a quick word with you - you spent your own

:55:00.:55:04.

pocket money to buy this - why did you do that? I felt that everyone

:55:04.:55:10.

should have a gift at Christmas. And what a lovely gift you have

:55:10.:55:14.

brought. You should be very proud of him. Mary, why is it so

:55:14.:55:20.

important? It is a charity very close to my heart. I was looked

:55:20.:55:24.

after in foster care, and I feel that every child deserves a present

:55:25.:55:30.

at Christmas. That's for somebody who is four, they will love that. I

:55:30.:55:34.

interrupted your lunch the other day, and they gave you this ticket

:55:34.:55:44.
:55:44.:55:46.

- who was it for? It is a boy, aged 14. Amazing. That's the kind of

:55:46.:55:51.

Christmas cheer we have got in Aberdeen tonight. And look at this.

:55:51.:55:56.

Father Christmas and the elves. Look at that. This is just some of

:55:57.:56:02.

the gifts that have come in for this charity. And charities up and

:56:02.:56:05.

down the country are doing the same thing, collecting gifts for

:56:05.:56:10.

children who live below the poverty line. It is amazing. Sophie, go

:56:10.:56:14.

into the grotto, please, because you got us into this in the first

:56:14.:56:20.

place. Elves, could you start giving Sophie some of the gifts?

:56:20.:56:29.

Lovely. Do you think you have achieved your target? What was it?

:56:29.:56:34.

6,000 gifts, and I have no doubt that we have achieved the target.

:56:34.:56:39.

Under we have done our part as well. Thank you so much to everybody from

:56:39.:56:45.

Aberdeen for being so generous. It is a lovely day here at the grotto.

:56:45.:56:54.

Back to you. That's wonderful. Christmas presents that you always

:56:54.:57:01.

wanted... I always wanted a puppy. My godmother, aunty Vanessa,

:57:01.:57:06.

definitely would have got me one, but my parents were, no way. But I

:57:06.:57:13.

did get a stuffed dog, who I still have to this day. An aeroplane, and

:57:13.:57:20.

I never got one as a kid, but I did buy one for myself as an adult. It

:57:20.:57:29.

was a model aeroplane, and it crashed! A one Tidd something from

:57:29.:57:34.

the a team, and my parents did not get it for me, but would you

:57:34.:57:44.
:57:44.:57:45.

believe it, Father Christmas brought one for me! I think dogs

:57:45.:57:55.
:57:55.:57:58.

are always good value. This one is from Christine in Somerset. Santa

:57:59.:58:08.
:58:09.:58:19.

and his reindeer, and this one This one looks cosy, doesn't it?

:58:19.:58:23.

And a little Lyon, ready for his first Christmas, he is only four

:58:23.:58:33.
:58:33.:58:34.

months old. And this family all have personalised Christmas jumpers.

:58:34.:58:43.

That's from Kent. And this one, finally, from Stockton-on-Tees.

:58:43.:58:49.

Thanks our Snow Whites. John will be hosting the National Lottery
