06/11/2013 The One Show

Hello, welcome to the Wednesday episode of the one show. Our guest

includes one of our most renowned broadcasters. He has provided

commentary for some Britain's biggest news event. From the funeral

of the Princess of Wales to his extensive election coverage over

more than 30 years, but it was during the election of 1987 when he

was eating that chocolate snack which helps you work, rest and play

when he got stuck for something to say.

I will come back to you in a moment. I am in the middle of eating a Mars

bar! We just want to get the result in Sheffield! David Blunkett's

result. You have to seize your moment! You

get no chance to eat. Robin Day always talked behind legs off a

donkey. How long into the broadcast where you? It was at about 2am. I

thought the next day, the people who make the thing that helps you work,

rest and play would send me an enormous box, for the inadvertent

advertising. I have given up on them! What is the longest broadcast

you did? In 2010, that was heavy. That was the longest. That was 18

hours. I got a break of an hour at 6am. What are the secrets? There is

no secret, the story is so strong. Last time, it was so unexpected,

there would not be a government, it went on for three or four days. The

excitement of it, if you are a football fanatic, you watch football

for hours. The adrenaline. You get it here. You are only going for an

hour! You want to see the food that is stashed behind here! Are you

planning to cover the election in 2015? It is up to the BBC. If they

ask me, I would love to. It will be a great election. This one has said

the cat among the pigeons, and it is all to play for four all three main

parties and UKIP. I am ready, willing and able. I shall eat lots

of Mars bars! We will find out about another side to date it, his passion

for the seat, which has led to a new TV series. Also, a crack squad of

cruisers, the Eggheads, and Dermot Murnaghan. Plus, we will hear the

story of five girls who were picked from over 1000 to record a special

song for the Poppy appeal. They will be singing for us later. But first,

can tablet computers be used to improve learning? This is something

Bristol University will start researching. Dan has been to visit a

family in Cardiff to see how the new range of wooded busting tablets

compared with their more expensive competitors.

It is estimated that half of us now own a touch-screen tablet computer

and sales are still on the up. Industry analysts expect more than 4

million tablets to be sold between now and Christmas. The iPad and the

Samsung Galaxy S4 expected to continue dominating the family

market. Now, they are facing stiff competition from some of the UK's

biggest retailers. Argos, Amazon and Tesco have all brought out their own

tablet. At less than half the price, they are massively

undercutting the big sellers, like the iPod mini. These cheaper

versions any good? We are putting five budget tablets to the test, the

most expensive is this one, ?129 99. Tesco and Amazon's cost ?119. The

Argos one costs ?99 99. The other one is the cheapest, ?99. We have

enlisted a whole family of viewers to help us out. Let's meet them.

This family all love their technology, for different reasons.

But Tony, Erin, granny, Miriam, Martha and David all have one thing

in common. We switched across from PCs to Apple. That is all we ever

used these days. I am expecting them to be slower, clunkier, because they

are cheaper, but we will have to wait and see. They have agreed to

give up their own devices for two days and get to know the new

tablets. They have got seven inch screens, but each offer different

levels of memory, features, apps and battery life. The Amazon and Argos

ones only have eight gigabytes memory is, the others have 16

gigabytes. We ask the family to record video diaries on those that

have a camera. For Evan, the speed of the operating systems for the

first thing he noticed. Some of them, such as the Argos one, it was

a bit slow and clunky, but I was generally impressed. The most

expensive tablet instantly stood out for the younger family members

because of the polity of the entertainment system. It has videos

and games to choose from. It has got loudspeakers and a good camera. It

came out on top for the preloaded apps. For battery life, the Tesco

Hudl impressed, while the Argos one was a disappointment. If you days

later, I am back to see how the family got on. I was surprised, you

could do a lot of stuff on these things, I did not think they could

do so well. The Tesco Hudl, I like the screen, very high quality,

everybody liked it. In terms of the Amazon one, I liked the sound. When

you played YouTube videos, there was depth behind it. How are the

parental locks? They all have the standard level of control, one thing

that was really good, one of them had profiles, so you could set

different profiles for different members of the family. There was a

decent camera on one of them, but the others either did not have one

or it was unusual -- unusable. The size of the screen, I preferred my

iPad, which has got a bigger screen, I can view everything a bit easier.

The ask them to vote for their favourite without telling the rest

of the family. Which tablet that you prefer? For votes for the Tesco

Hudl. What's that you? Yes. The Tesco Hudl stood out for the screen

quality, battery life and its overall look.

So they have picked their top tablet. Plenty of children will be

hoping that Santa will bring a new one for them this Christmas. It is

estimated that 4 million of these devices will be bought in the run-up

to Christmas, and they could be making their way into children's

hands. There might be advantages to jump children using it, but lots of

people have concerns. Technology has a time and a place, but that is

important to remember. They can be incredibly anti-social. My son has

worked out my password, and all I hear is, daddy, daddy, daddy, the

constant thing. I say, just calm down, you can have a little go.

Before computers, people had other obsessions. I am on the side of

letting the children have these things. You cannot hold it back.

They are a great tool. You have got to learn. One child has it and

another does not. I think, let rip. Then,

will learn. They will learn how to use them and to monitor them. You

can get books on the tablet. Then, what do you think? I have real

concerns. We encourage our children to interact socially, and if they

are staring at a screen, there is no interaction with the family. How do

you feel? Is he tight? Sometimes! What do you use it for? I play games

and e-mail my friends. Do you talk to your friends as well

as getting on the tablet? Yes!

That is what matters. We would like to know what you make of this. For

our vote, we are asking this question, should a seven-year-old

have their own tablet? That is their own tablet, not using

yours. The vote ends at 7:35pm, we will

reveal the results later. I left my mobile phone outside! I will be

testing other people! As an island nation, our sea has shaped our

history, and David's latest project is about our relationship with the

waters. Nelson's cabin, elegant, painted

pale green, and an oral's colour, but it comes apart when you are

going into battle. The panelling comes off. Taken away, revealing the

timbers of the ship. Partly to write in the weight of the stone, but

also, this all pushes back, and a gun can be brought in. This is a

strange thing, it is a megaphone, which Nelson would not have used

on-board, but it did allow out at chips behind to get back. Get back!

There was an expletive deleted! You do not swear! I saw the unedited

version! I did not pick that up! You have a huge passion for PC and for

sailing, so was this your idea? Yes, many years ago. Six years ago, there

was the baritone Museum doing something, and I suggested it, but

they did not bite them. I have always been passionate. It is about

how the sea has changed and made Britain, it is poignant to see

shipbuilding on the south coast, which has come to an end at

Portsmouth. That was about the English Channel as our defence,

Napoleon and Hitler not being able to cross, and when you do not have a

Navy, you get William the Conqueror comment. It is about the sea as

defence. We did the sea further west as adventure, Francis Drake, Captain

Cook, and the Mayflower setting off from America. It is about the way

that Britain has been changed by being an island. There is one

sequence in a tatty parlour, I thought you were going to have a bit

of inking done. You are very involved. I was intrigued. You will

have to wait and see! I could not make up my mind. I have always had a

secret longing that I might have one done. You do not look the type!

Where would you have it? I am not going to tell you where I would have

it! I am not Cheryl Cole! Was this basically a jolly? Because at the

beginning you're off... Of course it was. To tell the truth, the great

thrill - I sailed the rocket for 30 years, always in the West Country

and she's virtually an open boat, a big boat that goes like a bomb, and

I've sailed her down there, and the thrill of taking her from the Isle

of Wight up to Dover, for instance, and then going up to the Clyde and

actually talking about trade in Scotland but sailing it all and then

going down the east coast and up under Tower Bridge we opened - Tower

Bridge opened for us. Great. I discovered if you have a tall enough

mast you don't have to pay. You ring them up and ask if you can come

under and... ! They're very subtle. They open it just enough to get

through. If it's a warship, right the way open. When we went through

it's - a little bit - I think we can - nightmare. It's obviously a real

love and another love of yours is art as well, and you did a little

bit of charcoal. I did some drawing, but my drawing is just amateur

drawing. I was actually illustrating at one point how all sailors used to

have to learn to draw. That was the thing. You had to learn to draw

because you had to make a record of where you were. Sure. And when

Francis Drake was buried - one of my ambitions is to get his coffin up

from the Gulf of Panama. You were part of that campaign. Yes, there is

a lead coffin with Francis Drake in full uniform. Because it's lead it

may still be there. The Government is very keen to do it. We mounted an

exhibition, I think it was BBC, NBC, we tried to get the expedition

together, too expensive. I thought I would take the Rocket out there. You

must have uncovered all kinds of surprises along the way. Yes, we

did. What were the real surprises? The surprises usually are the people

and funny little things. There was an extraordinary thing we saw in

Falmouth which was a monkey fish - have you ever heard of that? I saw

this. What do they look like? It was brought dak - there was great

mystery of the sea and on the charts they'd say, "Beyond here are

monsters" and they'd draw terrible pictures of ships being swallowed up

and mermaids and all sorts of things. There was a mystery about

the seas. People didn't know what lay beyond their coasts and sailors

used to come back with strange things they'd found and one of the

things they found in the Far East was a monkey's fish which had claws

like that and a monkey's head and we actually found one of these, an

original one. Incredible. And what it turns out is it is a fish's tail.

It's chicken's claws and is a sort of monkey's head made of

papier-mache with eyes... Fooled people? They put it all together and

sold it to gullible sailors, I dug this out of the sea... It. That was

the big surprise to you. One of the surprises to you is you might get a

tattoo, David! I wouldn't hold your breath. They did offer to do one -

they you haved to do one in ink on my arm, but I thought it was a bit

of a wuss having that wussy wussy stuff - just have that little

drawing - you'll find out. David's programme Britain and the Sea starts

a week on Sunday which is the 17th of November, 9.00 on BBC One. But

you'll be able to join David this Sunday from 10 listen 20 on BBC One

as he presents the Remembrance Sunday commemorations from the

cenotaph. Five young girls are also playing their part in this year's

Poppy Appeal. Here's Carrie with the story of the Poppy Girls.

This year's Festival Of Remembrance concert at the Royal Albert Hall

will herald the formation of a new group. They'll perform not only in

front of Her Majesty, the Queen, but to seven million TV viewers. Back in

June the Royal British Region and Decca records launched a new

nationwide search for the stars of the future from families as muching

in the military forces. The team previously helped put together the

Military Wives' choir, who topped the charts back in Christmas 20 Len

with the song Wherever You Are. They raised half a million pounds for

military charities, but this time, it's the military's kids that'll get

the chance to become popstars. They'll be singing the new Poppy

Appeal single, the Call, No Need to Say Goodbye. The competition was

open to all nine to 16-year-olds with a brother, sister or parent

currently serving in the forces. # One step closer #

I'm here at Metropolis Studios in West London. By the end of today,

we're going to find out who has got into the group. They have whittled

it down from over a thousand applicants to over 11. How are you

feeling? A little bit sick. Tell me the countries you've lived in.

Germany, Cyprus, Belgium, England and Wales. That's five countries,

and you're only how old? 12. 12. What's that like having a brother

that is basically putting his life on the line when he goes to work?

You try to blank that out of your head and try not to think about it.

I just think of the bravery and the commitment he's got. Florence. The

youngest amongst the last 11, how are you feeling right now? Really

nervous. I am really excited. Have you been doing lots of practising?

Yes. Have you gotten tired of this song? I go to sleep with this song

in my head and go to bed with it. The panel includes Tom Lewis who

spearheaded the campaign and soprano and huge commercial success Laura

Wright. We're going to try to achieve the following - represent

all three services, try to make sure we have a group that actually look

right together and can do all the things we need them to be able to do

in the song. It's a really tough little combination to get right. Are

you ready? Yeah, I think I am. Let's go.

# Started out as a feeling # Which then grew into a hope

# Which then turned into a quiet thought

# Which then turned into a quiet word #

What judges are looking for are not only great individual singers, but

those that can harmonise well in a group.

So what they're doing now is working out which singers work with each

other. That's actually an important part of putting a group together.

Now this is it. The judges having seen all 11 hopefuls audition have

the incredibly difficult task of deciding who will make the group.

And as you'd expect, they each have a very different opinion on who

should make it and why. These two are doing the same function in the

band, so you either have one of them... She'll blend better than

her. I love this. While the judges have been deliberating, the group

have been bonding, so now they really work together. If it was down

to me, it would be an 11-piece supergroup. She brings the real-ness

to the group She might be the wild card. We've got five here. You

reckon this is it? Are we agreed? I wouldn't like to be in the judges'

shoes right now. These guys have given their all today. You should be

very proud of how far you've got. There were thousands of people who

auditioned. I'm very sorry to say that you

haven't made the group. We're incredibly proud to have

chosen you. For some, it's a sad day, but for Florence, Megan, Alice,

Bethany and Charlotte, it's time to celebrate.

APPLAUSE Oh! Well, Bethany, Amanda, Daniel,

Carol and Martin are with us tonight. Let's hear their brand new

single called The Call. Girls, it's over to you.

# It started out as a feeling # Which then grew into a hope

# Which then turned into a quiet thought

# Which then turned into a quiet word

# And then that word grew Laudruper and Laudruper

# Till it was a battle cry # I'll come back when you -

# Call me # No need to say goodbye.

# Just because everything's changing doesn't mean it's never been a -

# Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. # All you can do is try

# And know who your friends are # As you head off to the war

# Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah # Pick a star on the dark horizon

# And follow it # You'll come back

# When it's over # No need to say goodbye

# You'll come back # When they call you

# No need to say goodbye. # You'll come back

# When they call you # No need to say goodbye. #

APPLAUSE Brilliant. You all sounded gorgeous.

Congratulations on getting into the Poppy Appeal. We all have the same

poppy. We're all matching. Now, you have a busy Saturday night planned,

a very important gig. Tell us what you're doing? We're going to be

performing for the Queen at the Royal Albert Hall, and we're going

to be performing our single called The Call. Which we just heard there,

of course. Lots of famous people are going to be lucky enough to share

the bill with you, like who? James Blunt, Katie Melou, so many massive

names. Wow. Good luck, girls. You sound

brilliant. The Poppy Girls' single The Call is released Sunday. The

Festival of Remembrance is on Sunday, BBC One at a quarter past

9.00pm. I tell - it's no mean feat, that, singing live - girls, that was

wonderful. It really was! And isn't it wonderful, of course, to see -

obviously, the next generation come through remember remembering - in

their own way. They're so cool too, just standing there and singing it.

The Royal Albert Hall - terrifying. We can all tune in on Saturday and

see how the girls do. Exactly. It's not a whole lot, just you? Just us.

We don't need anymore than that! We were talking earlier about your sea

tales... It's so great, the British Legion, still, the biggest of all

the charities for servicemen. 40-50p per download is going to that very

cause. And the cenotaph on Sunday is all organised by them. The March

past the cenotaph is arranged - people don't realise - the 10,000

people going past, it's all the British Legion that does that. We'll

be talking about your connection in a little while. This sounds random,

off the point... I do random. Have you had any large fish encounters?

Large fish - encounters at sea? I told you it was random. A slight

change of subject there. Yes, I caught a large fish once. Go on. In

Cornwall, from Looe, I caught a shark many years ago. What shark was

it? It was a kind of - I rather felt rather sorry for this shark. It was

quite - it was like sand paper. It was a kind of grey kind of shark.

OK. I don't know what we did with it. You didn't take a photo of it

because this picture here - this was taken off the coast of Cornwall in

August. It shows a blue shark that was apparently attacked by a great

white. No, great white? That's bigger than my shark. That's as big

as his head, that shark. Huge eyes. I was just about to say. Are they

all very lovable or are they dangerous? You're about to find that

out because even looking at those pictures there, it didn't put

Miranda off. Here she is It may surprise you to know that UK

waters are home to 31 species of shark, some of whom are resident,

some are visitors. They come in a range of sizes and forms from some

of the largest like the basking shark and the fastest like the Mako

to the downright strange, the angel shark. The waters around South Wales

are a shark stronghold where many species of UK shark can be found.

It's a great place to dive with sharks and understand more about

these often misunderstood creatures, but even the commonest ones can be

hard to find. This is one of my favourite habitats

underwater. It's also the perfect habitat of a group of Sharks called

cat sharks. It's not long before I find signs they're around. This is a

mermaid's curse. Some sharks lay these little egg cases. If I shine

my torch through that, you can just see something inside, and that's the

embryo of the developing shark. I have seen these things in aquariums,

but I've never seen one in the wild. That is truly special.

Here it is! That is amazing! Look at you! Absolute beauty. Hunting among

the rocks are kelp, catch sharks are the ones you are most likely to see

at the seaside, one teenager had a very unusual shark encounter on her

local beach, which she called on her mobile phone in August 2012. We were

coming back in. My cousin jumped in the water and there was a huge

shadow next to him. I have never seen him jump out so fast! It

managed to come right past. To see how shockingly blew it was, then

it's one back out. Would you scared? It did not seem aggressive

at all, it was calm, docile. What had your opinion beam of them? I had

been terrified, but it has changed my view a bit. What she saw was a

juvenile blue shark. Seeing one swimming close to shore is very

unusual. They are normally deep ocean predators, reaching over three

and a half metres in length. But for me to have a diving encounter with

one, I am heading out to deep waters with Ian Ferguson. J wring the

summer, we find a northerly movement of blue sharks out of warm waters.

We get a front developing in the sea, think rise to nutrients in the

sea, and so a lot of planktonic animals, fish feeding on that, and

the predators follow suit. Understanding their movements is

critical to their conservation, which is why our mission is joined

by Andy Truelove and Lloyd Jones. It will take us 30 miles south-west. In

an area called the deep. That is where you will find most of the

sharks. As we travel, the crew prepares a smelly mixture of mashed

up fish. Lovely! It should attract the sharks to our boat. With the

weather and conditions on our side, we go through the safety checks.

Finally, I take the plunge, 30 miles from shore in waters over 100 metres

deep. Here we are, it is a big say. Somewhere, there is a shark. I feel

like I am being watched. This is the strangest feeling I have ever had on

a dive. I do not know what I am going to see or where it is going to

come from. After hanging in the water for 30 minutes, is my luck

about to change? The jeopardy! Strachey and for part

two to see whether those blue sharks do show up. Time to welcome the

ultimate quiz team, although they might be some of the brainiest

people in Britain, we all know there is no beating the one show!

Pastor shares its name with the Italian name for corkscrew. I do not

know. We will go for the third one. You have one!

We are still celebrating! They join us now, along with Dermot Murnaghan.

Thank you for coming in. You have not invited us back. They took the

money away! Daphne was wincing, she went, no, not again! You and Kevin

have been on since the very beginning. Back in 2003. Yes. Do you

ever have an off day when you think, I cannot think today? It

happens. How much does that make you? Might very competitive, but it

does not make me mad it is bound to happen. I was reading that you are

planning on leaving? Yes, I am sorry! Have you and that every

single question? No, I am nearly 75, I was finding the recording is a bit

too much. I started to retire when I was at the top. Exactly. Dave, I

love the fact that you were banned from all of the pubs in your area

because you clean out the quiz machines. It was quite a few years

ago. Three prime ministers have been since then, but yes, landlords did

not like me coming in and taking the profits. What does it take to make a

good egghead? You have got to keep up with everything, knowledge is

ever expanding, you look at a subject like science, we took about

the tablets there, technology is moving, you have got to be on top of

it. You have got to pick up and note things to memory. Our tablets good

for seven-year-olds, should they have their own tablet? It is good

for the -- it is up to the parent individually. My daughter is ten, I

hope she is off the tablet now, she has had an hour on it! Part of it is

the parental control, listening to the point is the parental control,

listening to the points that were made earlier, parents need to good

troll content and time. But they have got some use, applications to

help children learn, and I do not see any harm. I would say it is up

to the individual payment, as long as it is being used in the right

way. The results of the vote will be through shortly. Gun to the head,

who is the best that you have? They all have... Google does not actually

exist, what happens, when you Google something, one of them is behind it,

that is how good they are! Have you heard about the test that is coming

up later? We will test the Eggheads tonight. The list of the Dream Toys

For Christmas 2013 was revealed. The ones that retailers predict will

feature most prominently, and -- most prominently. We will challenge

the Eggheads to take on the Poppy Girls in the challenge. Good luck

with that! You have agreed to present this! As long as I am not

playing! We have a new quiz book out, and there is all of the

questions we got wrong, so if anybody thinks they are better than

us, have a look! He has got it all going on! We did not expect that!

You have got the full set of badges, but nothing more valuable than an

Eggheads nametag. That is very kind of you. Wonderful. These are wrongs

you got wrong? It is a book of pain for us! With Armistice Day

approaching, we have taken to the skies near Shaftesbury to have a

look at a rather special mark of remembrance.

This spot in Wiltshire was once the site of Favre and army camp. Built

during the First World War, it transformed a small village into a

bustling temporary town with a cinema and even a railway station.

It was the final staging post for over 20,000 soldiers heading to

France. The place to which the lucky ones first returned. When the war

ended, the camp closed and was soon dismantled. Little remains of the

great camp, these are the steps leading to one of the main

buildings. But there is a more impressive lasting landmark from the

days of the camp. Get a clear view of it, I will need to get up high,

in the balloon. I will be joined by David Tovey. This is a bit more

open. And more exciting! His father was stationed here before he went

off to war. He did three months training here to prepare him for the

trench warfare. Did he talk a lot about the war? The thing that he

spoke about mainly was going over the top. The always used to imitate

his captain by blowing an imaginary whistle, waving his arm and saying,

OK, lads, now you can take them over the top. It must have been dreadful,

he was 19, he was conscripted. Ordered to come down? Yes. He was in

the London Irish rifles, one of many regiments stationed here. Some of

them left their mark on the hill. Here, the regimental badges,

trenches filled with chalk, some about the size of half a football

pitch. They serve as a reminder of the men who never came home from

battle. They are amazing. The time and effort that must have gone into

carving goes out of the hillside is absolutely amazing. What do you

think about being able to see this from up here? It XP feel very

proud. I feel it's a mark of remembrance to him. To me, he is my

hero. I think this is marvellous, to have some recognition for him. 100

years has gone by since men like Ken passed through and created these

badges. They have stood the test of time, but these unique landmarks

were nearly lost forever. Tony Phillips is a member of the Fovant

Badges Society. What happened after the First World War? There was some

maintenance, but by the Second World War, there were only about eight of

them left. There wasn't -- there was an order that there should be no

restoration, in case it was a navigation aid to the Germans. So

they were allowed to rot? Yes, they were decaying so fast, it was

realised that they would have to be restored in a major way. Ten years

ago, using similar to leaks, the society move hundreds of tonnes of

chalk onto the hill. Restore would-be badges to their former

glory. We think it is important to commemorate those soldiers and what

they did. We also want to make a beacon for the future. The

society's hard work paid off, these emblems have been officially

recognised as ancient monuments. It means their future is safe for

generations to come. These badges make a very special war memorial.

They were not put up after the fighting was over, they were dug in

at the time by the men themselves. They wanted to make their mark and

to remember all their comrades who would never pick coming back.

They are beautiful. The night's vote has now closed, so please stop

voting. Well done to all of the members of the Fauves and badges

society, they are doing a great job. You will be busy, preparing for your

work on Sunday, for the service, you have got to do an enormous amount of

research, but what kind of system do you have? You have to set the scene

as soon as we see the pictures, but you cannot rehearse. The first thing

to say about the Cenotaph, it is a privilege and honour to do it. In a

funny way, I do not like talking about it too much, but the same

principle applies to all commentary, you mentioned Diana's funeral, the

secret is, you have to know as much as you can about everything, because

you never know what will happen. When you stop the broadcast, you

have to speak as little as possible. It is television, and silence is

very powerful. At the heart of the Cenotaph is the silence itself, but

just watching the faces, seeing the things happen. I remember with

Diana's funeral, it is irritating to talk about it in this way, but it is

a job, so I suppose I can, and the most powerful moments was when I did

not speak, almost for the entire time that her coffin went from

Kensington palace to Buckingham Palace, because the pictures told

everything. There was a moment when the windscreen wipers were wiping

the flowers that people had thrown off. I did not speak. The key to

commentary, you need to absorb a great deal, all of which I forget

immediately afterwards, but then used little bits, as though I were

sitting next to you. Just nudging you and saying, that is the Scots

Guards. Less is more. Of all the kinds of broadcasting, I love making

these films, but live broadcasting is the most exciting. You are making

it as it happened. You are creating get. This is incredible because in

two days' time Team Rickshaw will be hitting the road on the epic journey

from the Giant's Causeway all the way down to London. Yes, it's quite

far, David. Tonight another one of our team wants to tell you why the

children around the country need your support. Your donations are

very important, and the details will be on the screen during the film.

I'm Eleanor. This is my dad Keith. We are father and daughter and

currently in training for Team Rickshaw 2013. I live in Essex with

my dad, my mum, my little sister Amy and my little brother Michael. Amy,

Michael, quick, come on! Breakfast. Right. Quick! Quick. It's time to

go. It is very hectic in the morning. It's just nonstop. It will

get my endurance, I think, of going on a bike for hours. The rickshaw

challenge is going to mean so much to me, especially after everything

we have been through. Eleanor was born with a bilateral cleft lip. You

expect a perfect baby, and you don't ever go into it thinking there might

be something wrong. Mer first surgery came when she was three

months. 11 weeks. 11 weeks old. It's one of the hardest feelings taking

your daughter into theatre and they put her out, and she's limp as a rag

doll in my hand. That was very difficult. As a little girl,

sheftion happy. She was very well loved by everybody that we knew, a

real little character. Primary school was amazing. It wasn't until

I started senior school that I kind of felt different and alone.

I was the only Pernice that I knew in my school that had a cleft, and

that just felt terrible. You're thinking, I really am the black

sheep here. I did get a lot of remarks. I think the one that sticks

in my mind the most was "scar face" that dug deep. I would say up until

Eleanor was 13 or 14, she'd always told us absolutely everything, and

it was that change that I noticed she stopped talking to us and she

was a bit more withdrawn, and we knew that something was wrong. I

self-harmed. I cut my arms, yeah. It was weird because I felt like I

should have regretted it. But I didn't. I felt like it was the only

way I could cope. And initially, she tried to pass it off as having had a

fall, but obviously, I knew it couldn't have been that. It was a

real mixture of emotions because I was devastated that she felt that

bad about herself to do that. And then CLAPA helped because they got

me a counsellor. I suddenly just had all of these people who knew exactly

what I was feeling and what I was going through. When she first came

to the counselling she didn't know any other children with a cleft. I

think it meant a lot to her to meet other children with a cleft. It's

helped her with her confidence to be able to mentor some of the younger

members of the kouns council and she can see how they look up to her.

Children or young people can be able to contact us with anything they

want. We're hoping it's going to really take off so we do help as

many people as we can. Without the funding from BBC Children In Need we

basically couldn't run any of our children and young people service.

We're really proud of Eleanor and Keith and absolutely know they're

going to do it. It's amazing to now truly be able to give something back

for all the support they've provided us as parents. I'm happy now. If

people aren't happy with me, then, you know, that's their problem. I

couldn't think of a better charity to be doing the Rickshaw Challenge

for because they have been there for me every step of the way, and it's

just great to be able to give something back to them.

Ah, what a team they are. Aren't they just. Keith is a troublemaker,

though. Be watching you. Thanks to everybody who has done it already.

We appreciate it. If you haven't gotten around to donating, here's

what you can, do if you wouldn't mind, David... Text "team" - not

teem, but Team to: Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Nicely done. Now, we're on the hunt for the UK's best homemade chocolate

brownies, aren't we? Yes, all the details are on our website. If you

think yours knock spots off the competition, send it to our website

with a picture of you and your brownies to:

before 5.00pm this Friday. Let's go back to Dermot, shall we for

Eggheads versus the Poppy Girls in the Dream Toy Challenge. Thank you

very much. Tonight a very special team are taking on the rarely beaten

Eggheads but they're taking them on at something they could do quite

well in, it's the Dream Toys for Christmas. On my right are two of

the Poppy Girls, Florrie and Megan. Hello there, Florrie and Megan.

APPLAUSE On my left, the Eggheads, Barry and

Dave. Boo! So two rounds, a different dream toy for each. The

first challenge is the Chasin' Cheeky challenge, if I can say it.

Here's Cheeky. Megan from the Poppy Girls will take this one, and she'll

play against our Egghead, Barry. Players, would you please take your

positions in the games area. Follow me. The aim of the challenge is

simple. You each have three coloured rings. Yours are yellow, yours are

green. Cheeky, the monkey will, run around his pen. You'll have 30

seconds to try to ring as many rings as you can over monkey's tail. If

you have hooked them all, you can take the banana out of his mouth and

you have won the game. Ready? Yes. Understand it, Barry? Yes.

Yes! Oh! Fantastic! Look at that. Get the Cheeky Monkey here. Come

back, Megan. Whoa! Fantastic. Well, after the first challenge, thank you

very much indeed - got the banana back as well!

LAUGHTER Poppy Girls have won that, 1-0 to

the Poppy Girls. APPLAUSE

Right. Our second head-to-head challenge is using the Nerf Gun

Rapid Strike. And Florrie from the Poppy Girls is taking on Dave from

the Eggheads. Players, would you please take your positions in the

games area? OK. The aim of this challenge is simple. You each have a

gun and a target. The smaller the hole, the bigger the score. I'm not

sure about your accuracy, so here we go! At the sound of the Klaxon, you

have 30 seconds to score as many points as possible. Are you ready?

Three, two, one, fire. Well done. I ain't got anymore.

Don't hit me! Oh, my. Well done! Players, please rejoin your teams.

Let's have a look at Florrie's target. My goodness, me, Florrie,

100 points! APPLAUSE

Dave, a big, fat zero. So well done, Poppy Girls. After the second

challenge, it's 2-0 to the Poppy Girls.

APPLAUSE so the One Show Dream Toys for

Christmas dream Trophy goes to not you lot - you, Florrie and Megan.

Congratulations. Well done. You've beaten the Eggheads! Thank you all.

Thank you all. Now to part two of Miranda's

underwater adventure off the coast of South Wales. If you remember, we

left her dangling like shark bait. Will she be snapped up?

After hanging in the depths for over half an hour, the animal that does

take me by surprise, sadly, isn't a shark. Oh, I could hear the clicks

of the dolphins. Oh, yes! Wow! That's such a beautiful sight to see

in the water and to be in the water with them as well. Unfortunately,

that's not a good sign because there are lots of dolphins in the area.

That could scare the sharks away, so that's not really great news. It's

lovely to see dolphins in the water, but that decreases our chances of

seeing sharks. As group hunters, these common

dolphins often outcompete the more solitary sharks, and unfortunately,

after my encounter, the sea becomes rougher, and sadly, makes diving too

risky, so it's time for Andy and his tagging team to get to work to try

to capture and tag a shark. Their work is vital in helping to

understand the blue sharks' movements. Blues can travel an

incredible 1,800 miles on their complex migration around the North

Atlantic. Just one of the many important discoveries made possible

by tagging programmes worldwide. On our expedition, the chum does the

trick and attracts a blue shark close to the boat. Got one on now.

Shark on. Ooh! Can see the shark now. See the shark? Yes, yes, yeah,

brilliant. Thatting loose like a blue. Yes, yes. You can see the blue

in the water. That's fabulous! Look at that. Look at the beautiful

cobalt blue. Look at that. A beautiful, beautiful shark. I am so

ready. OK? All right. Back up. Everything you're going to do now is

to minimise stress to the shark. I know you really only want to keep

them onboard for just the shortest amount of time. I've got the task of

recording our shark's vital statistics, which will be sent to

analysis for the UK Shark Tagging Programme at Southampton University.

What have you got? 1 metre, 90. Then come the actual tagging. Information

on the tag, then you have the address, then UK Shark Tagging

Programme and the website and the tag reference number as well. We're

actually relying on this shark being caught again to get that tag back

and to get the information about it. Really, if it wasn't for the work of

anglers doing this baseline stuff, a lot of what we know about the

movement of these and their age and population would be a complete

unknown, so yeah, some good work, guys. Presumably, that's like a

little needle prick? A tiny one. What a simple procedure. That's

incredible. She didn't even flinch, which is nice to see, when you think

the animal probably didn't even feel it.

The whole process is over in just a couple of minutes and with the tag

firmly in place, it's time to return our shark unharmed back to the

ocean. Oh, lovely girl! Beauty, beauty!

I may not have swum with them, but I have had a very close encounter, and

one which will provide valuable scientific information to help

conserve these incredible animals. That blue shark is actually quite

cute, isn't it? Thanks again to the very brave Miranda. Back to that

burning issue of tonight's One Show vote. Yes, we asked you, should a

seven-year-old have their own tablet computer? We had opinions both for

and against in the studio, and you have had your say too. So Matt,

reveal the results, please. Here we go - yes, they should have their

own, 19% - yes. No, 81% - shouldn't, David. They're just thinking of what

it costs. LAUGHTER

Well, actually, this basically sums it up beautifully - this is from

Laura. "I don't think children should get tablets for Chris mast

mass. They have too many screens in their lives anyway. When I was

seven, I asked for a toaster for Christmas. It gave me years of

toasted happiness!" No, from my mum. While we were looking at your

e-mails we received a small number from viewers who felt that the film

on zombies last week was a bit too scary. We should have given you more

warning. Sorry about that thanks to our guests tonight, David Tovey,

thanks ever so much for coming in. Of course, to the Eggheads as well

and the Poppy Girls. Wish you all the very best. And to Dermot as

well. Now, that's it from our studios for awhile because from

tomorrow, we'll be on the road with Team Rickshaw. Yes, Chris and Fearne

will be sitting where we are now. They will. But if you can come and

support us along the way, then you can follow our progress by going to

our website. We're all to pack our thermals. See you on Sunday in

Bolton. Bye. Hello, I'm Ellie Crisell with your

90 second update. The end of centuries of ship-building
