jukebox. It is good, isn't it? I bought it on the Internet from

America but I didn't read the small print. These humans will only seeing

if requested to do so by a genuine country and Western legend. I have

the perfect person. It's me and we need a little 925 to get started.

# -- 9 To 5. Welcome to the Friday's One Show

with Alex Jones. And Chris Evans, and the one and only, we will always

love her, country music legend Dolly Parton.

# They just use your mind... # And they never give you credit

# It's enough to drive you... Hang on a minute, you were so

excited that you forgot your lines. Get on back over here! Do you like

the human jukebox? I do, it is a cute idea. We could have used a

little more thing macro, though. They were brilliant in rehearsal.

Gijon mother tally to keep your feet off the table -- didn't your mother?

The reason he has two where the boots is because he has been in the

sea, in Normandy, because of the D-Day commemoration. How was it?

Beautiful, flat, calm sea, the opposite to D-Day. Everybody a bit

tense, you don't want to over celebrate but then you don't want to

under commemorate, it is melancholy, so who was the most relaxed, the

veterans. Here are some of the scenes from today. It was all over

the BBC, it is continuing after we go on the air at 8pm on BBC Two.

President Obama, joining him at the seven tree was the Queen, laying a

huge wreath, quite rightly so. -- Cemetery. We saw President Obama,

the USA bore the brunt of the Allied casualties. How does it make you

feel, seeing these pictures? It makes the feel good. Like you say,

you don't want to overdo it or under do it, it is a precious time, but to

celebrate this is wonderful and to have all of the people around the

world do this and having President Obama here makes it feel a bit

closer to home. It is a wonderful, wonderful thing and I am glad I have

been able to be part of just the conversation. Going out there on the

Eurostar yesterday, we had 12:25pm train and the Queen was on the one

before us, and on the way back, she was on the one after us, trying to

avoid me. President Obama, he slept on his own destroyer, just off the

coast. He is very cool. Our forces sweetheart, Vera Lynn, she has been

in the news this week, 90 years old, she is fantastic and she baked as a

cake on Wednesday. Where is the pecan pie, Dolly Parton? I should

have brought one, had I known! She said this week that in her eyes, you

are very similar in terms of being forces sweetheart. That is so sweet,

how old is she? 97. And I am only 9 To

how old is she? 97. And I am only 5. She is good, isn't she? To good

finisher. We asked you for the family pictures you have of D-Day to

share with us on this special day. Here are a few. This is a picture of

Helene's late father being expected by President Eisenhower, the one

closest to us on the left. Second on the right he is Lucy Shaw's father.

They were ready to jump, the sixth airborne crew. Claire Clemence, her

father James is pictured here, thank you for the picture, having

something pointed out to him probably by his commanding officer.

And the last one, Carol Love sent this one in of the landings, it is

not her dad but her dad did take the picture. He came through D-Day

without injury but was wounded in 1945, two days before his 19th

birthday. Just a few of the 5,000 ships that set sail birthday in the

largest armada ever seen. We are going to forward all of your

pictures to the Imperial War Museum so more people can see them for

years to come. It is not just photographs people have found, one

viewer found a diary that uncovered a secret D-Day mission.

For decades, sheltered underneath a route into freeze, Scotland, lay a

picnic hamper. Its contents remained undisturbed -- in Dumfries. It was

only when the owners died and the attic was cleared that the secret

supper hamper were revealed. It belonged to Cecil Riding. When his

nieces and nephews unpacked it, they were astonished at what they found

inside. A swastika flag, an SAS beret, a silk handkerchief covered

in code, a minute compass and maps. Perhaps most exciting was this

notebook, all written in shorthand, and a transcription written out in

long hand. It turned out to be a diary and it tells in extraordinary

detail two commando operations, a story of who dares wins. On June

six, 1944, the Allies launched operation overlord, which began with

the D-Day landings. Three days later, the special air service

parachuted 12 men into Nazi occupied France. Amongst them, the author of

the diary, Lieutenant Cecil Riding. He had the silk coded handkerchief,

the maps and compass and a carrier pigeon. He wrote, "I don't think the

pigeon enjoyed the trip anymore than I did... However, we fitted the

message in the little container strapped to its late but to our

dismay, the bird flu to a top of a tree and sat there for an hour. But

we heard later it was one of the few that ultimately reached England".

All the family knew about his war record was that he had been awarded

the Military Cross. When you read the diaries, what

specifically struck you? Just amazed that he seemed to take everything in

his stride, whereas many a person would crack up in that situation. He

was obviously not that kind of person. Their mission was to disrupt

communications by blowing up railway links, preventing the movement of

Nazi troops and supplies. Cecil names all of his SAS colleagues,

including Jimmy Watson. Watson family had the same photo of Jimmy

with a man they knew as Jock Riding. It prompted Jimmy's Sun and his wife

to head to Dumfries Museum to find out more about the hamper. My wife

was reading the diary and said, you need to rediscover your dad is in

the diary. "The Colonel said he would like to speak to Jimmy Watson

and I went to and sort out the redoubtable Watson." It is amazing,

blowing up trains and getting inside. Had dad and Jock being

caught, they would have been executed and some SAS guys were. We

put ?6 charges on the cylinder blocks and blew the engine

sky-high. Michael's father died without

talking about his time in the SAS. All they have is the wartime

letters. It is sent in 1945, saying a plane was shot out of the sky and

I stopped a few of its bullets. The tear in this paper is caused by a

fragment. I had one in the lead, one in the head but I have had worse

cuts in peacetime. Don't worry about it. The diary says something quite

different, doesn't it? "I fell out of a puncture, just at the time a

Fokker wolf aircraft decided to strafe the convoy. Jimmy got

injured, I suppose I caused this by altering the column order." So your

uncle blamed himself for the injury. I am sure he didn't blame Jock, they

were great friends after the war, so they could not have fallen out over

it. The diary was tucked away, rather than hidden. It was kept safe

for the next generation to discover at another time. It was almost like

getting to know him better than when he was alive. It was very, very

special and very emotional. I am incredibly proud of him.

Thank you so much to David and Michael for sharing that with us.

All right, so, new single time, Dolly Parton is back. I am back and

I am glad to be back, it has been three years.

Dolly Parton is back. I am back and I am glad to be back, it has been I

have always got something going on and we have a new album coming out

on Monday, Blue Smoke, and we are on and we have a new album coming out

on Monday, Blue Smoke, and we are a World Tour, called the Blue Smoke

World Tour, travelling all over Europe. Of course, we are doing

England and then on to Germany and Sweden and Switzerland and Lord, I

don't know where, all over Scotland and Ireland. Hold that thought,

let's have a listen to the new single. Home.

# Home, down to the hills with the Bluebell Fields

# Home... Darling, darling, it's a smash. That

is the first single from the new CD and it talks about missing home and

it also talks about by early days, heading out to want to become a star

and when you travel all over the world community home sick, so that

is what the song is about. You are booked to play Glastonbury. Yes, I

have heard about Glastonbury all these years, everybody said I had to

play it, so now I get to play it and we are very excited about that. It

is a fantastic festival. Will you be there again? I am sorry about that,

I will be there. What have you heard about it? I have heard it's a lot of

fun, everybody loves coming from all over, all types of people come and I

have heard about the mud. Here's mud in your eye, mud in your face, I

thought about writing a song called Mode, just in case. But I don't

care, if they can stand in the mud, so can I. I grew up in mud. You can

have a rhinestone wellies. Metallica are playing on the Saturday night,

will you go and see them? I don't know if we will get a chance to see

other things because we are doing so many things, but I am going to see

what I can and I know Robert Plant is going to be there. Blondie are

going to be there. I love Blondie, maybe I will get a chance to see

some of the others. We can show you around. I have just been told that

Blondie was a secret and I shouldn't have said anything. Let's just say I

am Blondie, I and Blondie two. Last time Dolly was on, we showed you the

children who received books from her Imagination Library charity. We have

caught up with them and you will be very pleased with the effect your

books have had. Yes, I am very proud of the programme.

# Working 9 To 5, what a way to make a living... My name is Tommy and I

am nine years old and I love reading and playing the piano. Howdy, Dolly,

since you gave me the books, I wanted to read more and more and now

I have read over 500 books. The types of books I like to read our

fact books, because you learn really a lot of things in them. My

favourite book is ocean ology, about Jules Verne. I like reading,

favourite book is ocean ology, about Jules Verne. I because you can

concentrate more, because like me, I can read for hours and hours --

Oceanology. # Love is like a butterfly...

Hello, I am Megan and I am seven years old.

# My Coat Of Many Colours... My favourite book is the Secret Seven,

because I like the way they solve them. It wasn't that much of a

mystery, but there was a bit of a mystery.

# In my Coat Of Many Colours my momma made for me. My name is Ruby

and I am eight and my favourite book is Operation Bunny. It is about a

girl called Emily and there is a witch and she tries to save all of

the people from the pink bunny rabbits. When you read your book, it

makes your imagination go, you imagine loads of pictures. I have

written this book for you, Dolly, called Strawberry Lane. It is about

Anjali robbery. It was a brilliant plan, but there was one problem. --

a jelly. He didn't have enough people and if he did, how would he

carry all of the jelly? I just want to say thank you for all of the

books and I really like your songs. # Crazy if you let it

# 9 To 5! She's asked tows give it to you.

That -- us to give it to you. That makes it all worthwhile, knowing

little children love to read. We were happy with the whole programme.

Love you very much. Thanks for putting that together for me. It

touches my heart. If you do it again in three year, we'll do it all

again. It has touched their lives in that way.ly treasure this. Thank

you! Those kids will be eternally

grateful to you. As a child yourself growing up there were no books n

fact there was nothing. You were one of 12 in a two bedroomed house, a

very poor family. It didn't stop you from having a lot of ambition. The

kids would eat the pages and tear them up. We had the Bible in the

house. My mother used to read it us. I used to love at school and I loved

all the fairytales. A lot of my relatives didn't get a chance to

have an education in the mountains. It started out as a personal thing.

Started in the United States, Canada and now we are spreading out all

over the world. We have given out 70 million books since we started.

Let's see this little kid in action. How about that! Where did you get

that? Weven the sound on it. That was you. You were about 10 years

old. What do you remember that? I was less than that in that

particular show. I remember loving the music. My mother's people were

all very musical. I showed early signs of wanting to do more with it.

My Uncle Bill used to take me around to those little shows. My mum used

to make me little things to wear like. That and so, it started out

very early. I started singing on radio and TV when I was ten. I moved

to Nashville when I was 18. I used to make trips between

to Nashville when I was 18. I used get somebody to listen to

to Nashville when I was 18. I used It was 200 miles from my home. We

used to sleep in the car, packed our sandwiches and lived in the car.

After I graduated, in 1964, I moved to Nashville and stayed.

Back in the early days though, you had a bit of difficulty getting a

record contract. What do you think the reason for that was then?

Actually I was luckier than a lot of the people in being a country girl

and just being a girl in general. I actually got lucky with my song

writing and I got on a small salary when I moved to Nashville. I had

better luck than a lot do. It was my dream. I walked up and down the

streets, knocking on doors, trying to get recorded. Finally I got a

deal with Monument Records. They owned a publishing company. I got a

little salary and they worked with me on getting the records done. So,

it is a long climb. You go hungry and lonely a lot. You work until you

get it done if you have a dream. Let's look at the next one. That's

you and Porter there. Let's see you in action on the same

show. She had a hit called Dumb Blond. She

ain't no dumb blond though. Dolly Parton.

# Don't try and cry # Your way out of this

# Don't try and lie # Or I'll get you...

APPLAUSE That eye make-up and that hair!

What is extraordinary is you have a massive voice. It is

What is extraordinary is you have a isn't it? Well, it sounds small, but

I do have a lot of power. It looks effortless. Is that because you sang

from being so young? I guess! Music was always part of my family. My

mother was a great singer. My sisters, all my family can sing.

That was just a gift. I just love to sing. What is it like when the

Partons get together? Is there a warning because it is so loud! We

are so loud. A loud bunch of people. We love to sing. What a day that

would be! Have you ever done a TV show with the whole family? Yes. I

whatted a variety show back -- I had a variety show back home. I would

have my sisters and my brothers. Actually a lot of my sisters and

brothers work at Dollywood. We have a lot of music back at my theme park

back there. The family, a lot travel around a little bit and try and

sing. So, music is a big part of all of us. We could hear your stories

all night. We hear Dolly is about to embark on her new show. For big

crowds, the crowd normally turns up hours in advance. When the curtain

comes down, they all want to leave at the same time. You are at a

concert or a football match. You are stuck in a massive crowd. You are

all relentlessly travelling in the same direction.

Crowds can feel claustrophobic and overwhelming. Has skinss got a

solution to the seeming -- science got a solution to the bottle-neck?

Football, more than any other sport, has been affected by the dangers of

crowd safety. Keith Still is a professor of crowd

science, improving crowd safety at venues all over the world, including

here in Manchester. If the crowd has not been designed,

the crowds don't move sufficiently through the space. It can jam in

places. Crowds move differently from individual pedestrians. We have

created a crowd from seven people and a ring of string. The denser the

crowd, the less freedom of movement and the more you are carried along

with it. One person here ends up going side ways. You know tlis is a

drop. Five, a significant drop in flow.

It may seem obvious, but this wasn't a principle considered when stadia

were first designed. Exit routes and buildings for use by

crowds have been designed based on the assumption that people flow like

of grains of sand in an egg timer. The fastest moving down through the

middle. The professor discovered this is flawed T realisation came

when he thought he was off duty. 22 years ago, standing in a queue at

Wembley for the Freddie Murkry concert. We were in the middle. In

this environment, the crowd were moving faster around the edge, it

was the opposite di nap Turkey what we expected T more I dug --. The

opposite dynamic. The more I dug into it, I saw a different episode.

He had to think how we get people in and out of stadiums. The solution

came up with something something in the way of the exits. Keith's

research is based on the research of anti-chaos theory, where a chaotic

system can become more ordered by small changes. If, for example, we

have a door way, and we are trying to get people through the doorway,

they will all get jammed up. Whereas, if we put a barrier in the

way of the doorway, like that, we reduce the interactions between

people. They will filter through more easily and they won't get

jammed up. Now, what I need is some volunteers.

Oh, hello! Hello!

We are at Birchfield's Primary, in Manchester. We have randomly given

half the children brightly coloured hats. Follow the green dots from

above and you can see which bits of the crowd are flowing freely.

You have a stopwatch, you the crowd are flowing freely.

control it. I have crowd control in hand. Are you ready? ALL: Yes!

Away you go! Just like Keith's experience at

Wembley, the children in the middle are getting jammed. Those on the

outside are getting through more easily.

Nearly! And through!

About one minute. Time to do it again. This time with what appears

to be an obstacle in the way. Here we go, guys!

Away you go! Now, you see immediately the

difference in movement. It would seem that the proof of the

pudding is in the time. Exactly! The last few people through you go and

through! last few people through you go and

58. That was about 10 seconds faster. That is more than 10%. For a

small crowd of 100 well-behaved children. Multiply that by 80,000 in

a stadium rum and you can understand hue -- stadium and you can

understand how this is a significant result. Crowd safety is serious,

especially if you are somebody who designs or builds the venues that

we, the public, attend. Thanks to scientist, Freddie Murkry and an egg

time -- mur curry and an egg timer you -- Murcury, you can rest assure

in a crowd. The boss of London 2012 - Sebastian

Coe is here. APPLAUSE Hello.

So nice to see you. Hello. Lord Coe. And of course this is the

Commonwealth Games baton - it is the Queen's Baton. I have been working

on that all day! How is it working? Looks good! You did very good.

So, the Commonwealth Games, what are you doing with the baton? What have

you done with it yourself? I have walked across the floor from your

live audience, put it perfectly in the stand and I am here to celebrate

it. It is a fantastic event the Commonwealth giants. I have an

abject set of performances - missed the first one, and ran like a sewer

on the next two. I am here on fraudulent reasons. It is an

unbelievable event. The guys have done an unbelievable job. Have they

phoned you up for advice? All events help each other. There are a lot of

the guys and girls working on London who have helped up in Scotland. It

has been a fantastic event up there. It reminds me of the torch relay.

The baton relay has started to galvanise communities. It is on the

Olympic Park on Sunday, to showcase 30 different sports and you know,

the opportunity for kids to pick up those sports, so it will be

fantastic. Another great summer! You are always a golden boy. I had

my day in Los Angeles. The question is this - we know you are here to

talk about the baton, which is great. We love the baton on the

show. This is always a worrying! Are you

going to join the BBC? I am here, aren't I? Are you going to be our

new big cheese? It is a very flattering thought. I have been

slated for all jobs at the moment. I am thinking about it. At the moment

I am really enjoying what I am doing. It has to be fitted... I have

other commitments. The British Olympic Association and carrying the

torch across the floor. Across the floor. It is not a no!

You could just drop the application form in there. On the way home! OK,

making tea or something! You have to start somewhere. Thanks to all of

our guests. Thanks to Lord Coe and especially to Dolly Parton.

And Dolly's tour starts on Sunday. OK, we have time for one more human

jukebox track. What would you like to hear, Dolly? Islands in the

stream. # Islands in the stream

# That is what we are # No-one inbetween

# How can we be wrong # Sail away with me to another world

# And we rely on each other # Ah-ha

# Ah-ha 'I'm going on an adventure.'

Wow. That is a long way.

Quite a bit of it is on bikes.
