06/03/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Alex Jones...

And Matt Baker.

Thanks to everyone who has

already sent in nominations

for our Health Awards.

We've had about 1000 already.

Fantastic.

We're running it

with The Patients' Association.

We're off to a great start.

It's terrific to see that so many

people want to nominate NHS staff

Almost 1000 since last night when we

mentioned it.

You can go to our website

to see the categories

and all the details of how to enter.

We can't accept letters

so if you are not on the internet

please ask a friend who is to help

you out.

Our guest tonight was born

in New York and made his name in LA,

but he's just as well-known on this

side of the pond.

Yeah, and long before Harry

and Meghan, he was angling

for a trans-Atlantic royal romance

of his own...

Can I say how deeply hurt I was that

you didn't choose to kiss me

earlier, Stephen?

LAUGHTER

Thank you!

That's the first time I've ever

kissed a member of the Royal family!

Pucker up everybody, it's Cuba

Gooding Jr!

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Hello.

He never calls!

Ian Evatt

calls. He is nearly royalty but not

quite, Stephen Fry. What about Harry

and Megan? Everyone is getting

excited here. What is it like on

your side of the pond?

I don't know,

I'm here. I'm sure the

I'm here. I'm sure the buzz...

Everyone in my life is like, can't

wait to get over their and see it.

It's enough to make you want to

quit!

Did you manage to catch the

Oscars?

I did.

Frances McDormand,

the words she wanted everyone to

hear with inclusion riders. Aiming

for equality. That is something that

is being talked a lot about in

Hollywood?

You know, listen... I was

interviewed extensively when they

did the Oscars. People with

different sides of the opinion, but

at the end of the day it is a

conversation that starts change and

that is all we are trying to do,

talk about something, talk about an

issue, and even if it is just a

subtle change, even if it's someone

being more accountable for their

involvement in diversity and what

not, it's a good thing structure

absolutely.

When the fox hunting

ban came into effect

in England and Wales in 2005,

it might have seemed like the debate

on the issue was over.

But 13 years later,

tensions continue.

40,000 people still take part

in trail or drag hunts every year,

saying they are a vital part

of the rural way of life.

And the anti-hunt movement

is still active too,

but their tactics have changed.

Here's Joe.

63-year-old teacher Lesley is used

to keeping a close eye on her pupils

but in her spare time, attention

turns to the activities of those who

hunt with in Cheshire.

We have it on

film, you better called off right

now!

You are getting on my way so I

can't.

And today I am joining her as

she monitors a local trail hunt. And

her colleagues at not Sam Hunt

Summit of the volunteers who follow

various fronts and if there is any

evidence of illegal activity, they

hope to capture it. The hunting ban

has been in place for the last 30

years and prohibits the hunting

foxes with a pack of hounds but the

hounds are allowed to trail hunt,

tracing a scent laid down before the

takes place.

The monitors claim the evidence they

gathered shows that foxes are being

intentionally hunted. The hunt

organisers say foxes are sometimes

killed but it is always by accident

during a trail hunt. We filmed the

organisers laying the trail for

today's comps but Leslie is

sceptical that has any effect.

The

hounds don't show any interest,

never, ever. It is a bruise.

Goes on

the hunt would disagree. What is

your relationship like with the

hunt?

They probably see me as a boil

that needs popping.

Tension and

suspicion is high on both sides.

Everyone seems to be recording what

the other is doing. This group, who

are part of the hunt, are riding

quad bikes and concealing their

faces. Who are the people with

covered faces?

They are terrier men.

If the fox goes to ground in a

badger set or fox earth, the

Terriers are put down the hole to

get the fox up so the hunt can carry

on chasing it.

But speculation is

not enough, monitors have to prove

foxes are being actively pursued or

killed deliberately. Some of their

footage is under review by the CPS

and police say there are two formal

investigations as a direct result of

monitor footage. How hard is it to

gather evidence?

We have do have

what we call the money shot, which

is the fox fleeing. The other is the

hounds chasing the fox and the third

main one is the Huntsman showing in

tents, using voice or horn calls.

tents, using voice or horn calls. We

are all those three elements in one

shot.

You can imagine how difficult that

is. With the hunt in full swing,

Cheshire police arrived to keep an

eye on things. The force is under

review following complaints over the

way alleged hunting crimes are

investigated. They told us

logistically policing a hunt is

extremely difficult and they work

with both sides to minimise any

illegal activity. Three hours into

the hunt on the monitors claim to

have spotted hounds chasing a fox in

a badger sets. They say they often

use the mother place to hide.

All of

these have been filled in.

That

looks fresh.

The monitors believe

the hunt does it on purpose so the

fox has nowhere to hide but they

have no way of proving it was

deliberately filled in and it is

strongly denied by those on the

hunt.

The fox ran from that

direction and then the whole field

came and we tried to protect the

badger set from more damage. We were

saying no, this is a badger set. No,

no one laughing at us.

Filling in a

badger set is a wildlife crime with

a six-month prison sentence and

hefty fine if caught. But with no

evidence on film, the monitors have

no way of knowing who is

responsible. We've been pursuing the

hunt for about four and a half hours

now. Whether you think what's going

on is illegal or not, to observe it

and check what is happening is

tricky, because there are only a

couple of points when you can come

across them and see what they are

actually doing. Today's

event run by the Cheshire Hunt. We

approached them for an interview but

they asked the Countryside Alliance

to speak on their behalf. How

closely did the hunt followed the

law today?

To the letter, it's the

law.

Why do they get masked terrier

men?

They are only masked because

they are on a quad bike and it's to

protect them. They repair the

countryside. They have the equipment

to late trails in their boxes and

mend fences because that is their

job. They can access parts of the

country that you can't get to one

foot.

Was about the allegations of

filling in badger sets?

There's a

lot of CCTV on a number of badger

sets around the country they will

find out who's doing but it is not a

hunt directive at all. It is very

convenient it happened on the date

the cameras are out of the monitors.

Who's to say they didn't do it

themselves?

A suggestion strongly

denied by the monitors. In Cheshire,

the hunt is drawing to a close and

although they didn't capture

evidence of illegal fox hunting for

Leslie it is still a day well spent.

We don't just come out to get of

illegal hunting. In my view, even if

the monitors save one fox in a day,

it is worth it.

Joe Lewis here to

speak about this a bit more.

With these film clips that are

taken, has anyone been arrested or

prosecuted?

There have been a number

of cases where there have been

successful prosecutions on the back

of filming. In Oxfordshire, it was

successfully proved using footage

gathered over several days that

hounds were being encouraged to

pursue foxes. The organisers were

find thousands of pounds. In

Somerset also, and for the first

time last year, a prosecution in

Scotland, where footage was

instrumental in improving illegal

fox hunting was taking place. But,

and there is a big but, there's

always two sides to everything.

Given the amount of hunts going out

and hunting days, there are and have

been very few prosecutions for fox

hunting. The other thing is it is

not just fox hunts who fall foul of

the law. The cyber tours and

monitors have been found guilty in

certain circumstances.

certain circumstances. Sabateurs

were found guilty of trespass.

Another monitor in Wales was found

guilty of assault and intimidating a

hunt member. It is heated and there

is violence and abuse on both sides.

Collusion.

We will leave it there.

Huber, we will talk about Chicago

very shortly.

First, a few hours ago...

This was me.

That's a cold water test.

For cold water swimming. I'm doing a

challenge and they say you have to

do the test before you take part.

Brothers don't like the cold!

It was

freezing.

You looked really calm, it

bodes well.

I was like a swan with

the legs going manic.

Poker face,

bodes well for Loch Ness. At least

you're not doing this alone. This is

the whole point.

We find out about the motivation

driving the mother of all

This year our sport challenge will

be a tough one so I'm relieved I

won't be alone. And with just a few

weeks to go before it begins, it is

time for me to meet my team-mates.

Have you been training?

Yeah...

Yeah, but only for the last five

weeks.

Five weeks?

Prior to that I

was sat on the couch for 50 years!

Why did you choose to do it?

For me

it was the fact my whole life I've

never finished anything. When I saw

this, I was like, this is my thing.

My name is Jodi, I'm 29 and I live

with my partner Ben. I have two

sons. When I first it was quite

dramatic, I lost a lot of blood and

they handed me me this baby and I

didn't know him.

Jodi struggled to

bond with her baby because of this

pressure she and his split up.

I was

in this place where it was very

dark. I was very isolated. I felt so

alone. I just didn't have that

connection. You feel you should

have, as a mother, and that

continued until he was about two

years old and I met Ben.

With the

help of Ben Jodi fought her

postnatal depression and after six

years she fell pregnant again.

I

started becoming obsessed with

getting their baby out. I would

stand at the top of the stairs and

think, if I just fell down the

stairs, they'd have to take me to

hospital. I went in to see the

consultant and she just took one

look at me and went, we need to get

this baby out, now. They gave meet

him and I held him and I loved him.

It was like this just lifted off my

head. I came home and Taylor was

made to be a Big Brother. I suddenly

felt like a mother. It helps me. It

gave me a chance to try and, what I

felt, fixed some of the damage I'd

done, and that was

All of our mums

taking part have experienced some

difficulty on their journey of

motherhood. I think a group of

mothers are the most capable because

we deal with so much on a daily

basis.

I think more than anything, I

just felt like I wanted to do

something for me. I had IVF and

nobody would talk about it or they

would back off as if it was a bit of

a taboo. I was like, let's talk

about it.

Leigh from Glasgow had a

normal pregnancy with her first son

Ross and after meeting her new

husband Colin found they had

problems conceiving.

To find out

that you can't get pregnant

naturally, it's quite devastating.

One of the options available to us

was IVF treatment. So when I went

along and had my scan, the doctor

was looking at the monitor, she

wasn't seeing what she would expect

to see at that stage. Unfortunately

it was a miscarriage. I was

devastated. I couldn't stop crying.

It was like grief. To be honest, it

was like a child dying, I can't

describe it as anything else. Once I

was able to talk about it, I talked

about it until I was raw and I

didn't think anyone would listen

because that is my form of therapy.

I was like, let's go again. And it

worked. I had twins, Freya and

Ethan.

Our mums want to help raise

as much money for Sport Relief as

they can, and I am going to help

them. But it is not going to be

easy, as part of their training

ready for Loch Ness they first had

to face the chilly temperatures of

this lake.

It is incredibly tough

even for seasoned open water

swimmers. It is absolute purgatory.

I couldn't get a breath.

As soon as

the waves came, I was panicking.

I

got through it, and to see the other

girls just going for it I was like,

I'm not getting left behind!

I'm

more worried about this one than any

other Sport Relief challenge. I just

hope the girls and I will become a

team.

I love being part of a group.

Can't believe how cold it was!

I

think as a team we will be really

strong together.

We might have

struggled to be the mothers we

thought we were going to be. It

doesn't matter. You can do

absolutely anything. Failure is not

an option.

Strong words to finish on.

As you

can see, these girls are very

motivated. Thank you to them for

talking about subjects that are very

difficult, especially being so

honest about it.

And while we're talking mothers,

congratulations to Angela who has

just given birth to a daughter -

Ruby.

If you are watching, Angela,

congratulations and lots of love.

I'm very nervous about this

challenge. The question is, how are

you feeling, Cuba Gooding Jr near,

about this?

Oh, yes. In three weeks'

time, that would be you, sir. It's

like we're in rehearsals. This is

something else.

Yesterday was the first day of

rehearsals.

Yesterday was the first

day. Horrifying! It's just

terrifying because everybody is

nervous. OK, what's he going to do?

Can he sing. We know he can dance

and has energy but can he sing? And

I'm, do they think I can sing? You

just go and you create a character

and you meet people who all want you

to win and you want to win for them

and the family is created and we

bring a little soul to it.

A lot of

people have played Billy Flynn, a

real smoothie.

Not like this!

We've

had John Barrowman, David

Hasselhoff, Richard Gere. The King

of smooth.

Amateurs!

We know that

Richard Gere can't really sing and

dance but are you bringing some soul

to it?

We've got a lot of love down

there. We're moving. I guess there

were a couple of touring companies

around the UK and we have taken the

best of the best and surrounded by

these wonderful men and women. It's

like one fluid, vocal... You know.

Thing.

You did grow up in a very

musical family. Both of your parents

were singers.

I did. The main

ingredient, Cuba Gooding Jr senior.

My mother, her opening act was a

little group called Diana Ross and

the Supremes. Their group, the

sweethearts disbanded when they got

pregnant and they were replaced by a

Diana Ross and the Supremes.

We know

you are an incredible break dancer.

This is the kind of stuff that

potentially Cuba will be bringing to

the West End.

APPLAUSE

You're obviously going to have some

kind of Lycra put into your taxi

dough.

Billy Flynn is cool. He

doesn't flip on the floor.

So how

are you going to bring your moves to

Billy Flynn?

He knows how to

manipulate people to want to be

around him. All the ladies in the

show, they want Billy! And then he

walks out. Then he does his thing.

You know. So...

You are in the zone

and you have only had one day in

rehearsals.

Just finished the

second. I'm really excited. You

don't understand, American actors

worship anything that is on the West

End. We look over there, we go, wow,

Shakespeare, son Laurence Olivier,

we did it. When I got the

opportunity to come over here, they

ask me to audition. I said, of

course. You get emotional. It's a

real feather in the cap.

You are

going to be an excellent Billy.

We

really can't wait to see it. It

opens in the West End at the Phoenix

Theatre on March 26.

We can all make wild

claims sometimes -

Cuba once said he had too much sex

appeal to play James Bond.

But possibly the most outrageous

claim we've ever heard is from a man

Did I say that?

But possibly the most outrageous

claim we've ever heard is from a man

whose family got in touch to say

he's 'faster than Google'

at recalling facts.

Alex Riley's been

putting him to the test.

If you have voice actor to

technology at home, you might want

to cover its ears now.

They are the

must have home gadget, web connected

virtual assistants. They have exotic

names. They can tell you the latest

news and weather, play music,

control gadgets around your home

like eating and lightning, they can

even answer questions. Who is Alex

Riley?

He is an American

professional wrestler and

commentator.

It's estimated that 3

million households have a smart

speaker.

I have three kids so they

spend a lot of time trying to speak

to it.

If you pronounce a Welsh

place name slightly wrong, it will

get it completely wrong.

It tells

you jokes.

Funny jokes?

No.

But can

the leading smart speaker 's beat

our human Google? On which day did

Concorde Mate it's fastest

transatlantic flight? Humphrey, also

known as Gary Kemp has agreed to

take on the smart speaker is in a

fact off. Man will vie with machine

to answer correctly in the quickest

possible time. Remember, the order

of the questions and the speakers

have been chosen at random. Who

cares? It's only a bit of fun.

Humphrey, in this first round, you

will be taking on Alexa.

I don't

know that one.

Time starts now. What

year did Henry third become the king

of England.

He was king of the

Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth from

1573-75.

He became king of England

in 1516.

Both incorrect. 1216. Which

jockey won the Grand National horse

race in 1971.

Don't know who the

jockey was.

When did the Titanic set

off?

Wednesday the 10th of May 1912.

Correct. The score is 2.2 Humphrey

and zero to Alexa.

Sorry, I'm not

sure.

I am. Zero points. Next,

Humphrey is up against Google home.

Sorry, I'm not sure how to help.

When did William Shakespeare die?

The 23rd of April 16 16.

Correct.

Humphrey just pipped Google home by

being quicker with the right answer.

Humphrey, use good four points.

Google, use you scored zero points.

But I'm learning every day.

But I'm learning every day.

Siri,

how are you feeling?

Let's talk

about you not me.

How many colours

on the flag of the United States.

Three colours, red, white and blue.

When was the Battle of Waterloo?

18th of June 18 15. Humphrey just

sneaked that one. Humphrey has just

got the edge but the speaker is not

quitting. When was the first

Wimbledon tennis tournament?

1887.

Roger Federer decimated Thomas

Berdych.

He wasn't even born. Stop!

Siri, stop! Age are to Kent to the

final round of questions. The

overall scores are in. It is one

point to the speakers while Humphrey

scored 12 points. Congratulations,

you have won the One Show fact. The

smartest speaker was Google home.

Apple with three and Amazon Eco got

zero points. You need a wild

Humphrey on the table. We've got one

on the sofa. Goodness me. What was

the question you got wrong?

It was

about the Titanic. I couldn't think

of Kate Winslet's name. That was the

only one.

That test was clearly too

easy for you.

We are going to push

you now.

We want to know, does Humphrey know

Cuba Gooding Jr better

than Cuba Gooding Jr

knows Cuba Gooding Jr?

We are going to ask questions about

you. Just go straight in. If you

know the answer... Here we go. A

bottle of razzle-dazzle in the

background.

Why is July 12th 1991

significant to Cuba?

Date Boyz In The Hood was released.

Correct, it was.

Let's move on.

Was

that July 12? You're good, man!

Great day!

Name all the high-schools

attended by Cuba...

I know there is four.

North Hollywood High School,

Tustin High School,

Apple Valley High

School,

and John F Kennedy High School.

Very nice.

How was Cuba credited in his first

film appearance in 1988?

If you know it, shouted.

I know it.

I was in a barber chair.

"Boy getting haircut"

in Coming To America.

Look at that, with the Afro.

In what year did Cuba get a star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

2002.

Cuba, come on!

The year of the Snow

dog.

Name any five of the ten

films that Cuba appeared

in before Jerry Maguire.

Boyz In The hood

Lightning Jack

Coming To America

There we go. We are done. Cuba, you

were a rodeo champion, were you not?

I competed in competitions. We used

to do all of the rodeos in Burbank

California. In the early 90s.

It's

been great to meet you. Thank you

for coming along. Thanks to Humphrey

and of course to Cuba.

Chicago opens at the Phoenix

Theatre, London, on March 26th.
