0:00:55 > 0:01:01sure if you are familiar with it. If I tell you any more, I might blow
0:01:01 > 0:01:07it. It's behind you, Tompkinson.Let us look at our specials.Looking
0:01:07 > 0:01:08forward to this.
0:01:09 > 0:01:16We will start with this, the Navy's new aircraft carrier. £3 billion
0:01:16 > 0:01:38worth of floating fortress.Is it it called Boaty McBoatface.
0:01:38 > 0:01:41You're a cultured soul, so I'm sure you'll want to hear
0:01:41 > 0:01:44which cities are fighting to become the next UK City of Culture.
0:01:51 > 0:01:56We will be meeting slimmer dog. We crossed out "fat", it's slimmer dog
0:01:56 > 0:02:03of the year.Is this where you are trying to get me so say - now, I've
0:02:03 > 0:02:07seen everything.Are you into your music?A big fan of Queen. I love
0:02:07 > 0:02:13all music. I love Queen most of all or Queen covers bands. If it's Queen
0:02:13 > 0:02:18I'm happy with it. I like music, but Queen mainly.We have pushed the
0:02:18 > 0:02:30boat out tonight. Back with a new album of Ibiza Classic is Pete Tong
0:02:30 > 0:02:36and the Heritage Orchestra.It's not Queen.Definitely not Queen.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43You must be a fan of more came and wise?Absolutely. Like everyone in
0:02:43 > 0:02:52this country I grew up on repeat of Morecambe and Wise Christmas
0:02:52 > 0:02:54specials.Thank you.
0:02:59 > 0:03:02Joining us tonight is Stephen Tompkinson who is about to play the
0:03:02 > 0:03:09man behind the brains of the comedy legends. What do you want to drink?
0:03:09 > 0:03:16Something festive.Like a drink. Do you want a Snowball.Mulled Wine.
0:03:16 > 0:03:23OK.I'm sure you know how to do that.I like the stove they've set
0:03:23 > 0:03:27up for me here.We were talking before you kaum on air you are on
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Aussie time. You have been recently?I've been
0:03:31 > 0:03:34suffering with the cricket, unfortunately. It's not been good.
0:03:34 > 0:03:41It's not been good so far. Joe Root has said he lulled them into a false
0:03:41 > 0:03:45sense of security and they will win the next three and bring the Ashes
0:03:45 > 0:03:51home.We are still in it is the message from there.Yes.
0:03:51 > 0:03:54Well, we're starting with something that's sure to stir-up the British
0:03:54 > 0:03:57bulldog spirit in our friend at the bar, the new aircraft
0:03:57 > 0:03:58carrier HMS Elizabeth.
0:03:58 > 0:04:00Described as "four acres of sovereign territory
0:04:00 > 0:04:04deployable across the globe", the £3 billion mega-ship will be
0:04:04 > 0:04:07formally commissioned into the Royal Navy tomorrow.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10Dan Snow's been given an exclusive look at life on board.
0:04:17 > 0:04:22This is the brand new HMS Queen Elizabeth. The Royal Navy's largest
0:04:22 > 0:04:31ever warship. It cost more than £3 billion and weighs 65,000 tonnes.
0:04:31 > 0:04:35Tomorrow, this vast vessel will be officially handed over to the Royal
0:04:35 > 0:04:40Navy at a ceremony attended by the Queen. But just getting this
0:04:40 > 0:04:44aircraft carrier into its new home, here in Portsmouth, was a major
0:04:44 > 0:04:49task. The channel into the dockyard had to be dredged to allow the huge
0:04:49 > 0:04:56carrier through. Revealing all sorts of unusual objects, including five
0:04:56 > 0:05:00bombs which had to be towed out to sea and detonated. I can't tell you
0:05:00 > 0:05:05how exciting it is for me to come on board this awesome ship. I've been
0:05:05 > 0:05:09following the construction process for around seven years and the way
0:05:09 > 0:05:13they did it, it was quite extraordinary. Constructions was
0:05:13 > 0:05:18split between six separate shipyards across the UK. The sections were
0:05:18 > 0:05:25brought together at Rosyth in Scotland. In 2012 the One Show
0:05:25 > 0:05:29filmed in Portsmouth as they worked on one of the pieces and we met
0:05:29 > 0:05:34Paul, one of 10,000 involved in the build. Five years on, we are
0:05:34 > 0:05:38bringing him back to see the finished product. What does it feel
0:05:38 > 0:05:44like seeing her today?Proud. Very, very proud. She looks so impressive.
0:05:44 > 0:05:51So large. On the third generation of people that worked on building
0:05:51 > 0:05:54ships, my son, the fourth generation, he worked on it for a
0:05:54 > 0:06:00while. It's pride, it's a family pride thing. I think it's fantastic.
0:06:00 > 0:06:07The man in charge of HMS Queen Elizabeth is Commanding Officer
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Captain Gerry Kidd. Have you the best job in the United Kingdom?The
0:06:12 > 0:06:17best job in the Navy, that hes a for sure. The largest warship we have
0:06:17 > 0:06:22ever had and I'm in command but it's a privilege commanding so many
0:06:22 > 0:06:29brilliant men and women. It gives the Government and the military huge
0:06:29 > 0:06:38flexibility and response. We are built up to hold aircraft and
0:06:38 > 0:06:43helicopters as well.How many years service?It will be in service for
0:06:43 > 0:06:49up to 50 years.The ship is powered by two gas turbines and four diesel
0:06:49 > 0:06:58engines, producing enough energy to power a town the size of Swindon. It
0:06:58 > 0:07:01accommodates up to 1600 people. How do you feed that many people on
0:07:01 > 0:07:15board?We have 48 chefs. We hold about 60,000 packets of bins. We can
0:07:15 > 0:07:20go 45 days without resupplying.What about water?The ship can produce
0:07:20 > 0:07:24drinking water from the sea. We can produce thousands of gallons a day.
0:07:24 > 0:07:28What about the big day tomorrow, are you nervous about cooking for the
0:07:28 > 0:07:32Queen?A lot of planning has gone into it. I have a strong team of
0:07:32 > 0:07:43eight chefs. She has salmon for starter. Lamb chop and mixed bean
0:07:43 > 0:07:48and sweet burnt orange tarte.The ship is home for the crew. This is
0:07:48 > 0:07:54where they sleep. How many people would share this deck here?There be
0:07:54 > 0:07:58would be six people in here. That is your little home. The sacred place.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02It's spotless. Does it is have to be spotless?It does have to be or we
0:08:02 > 0:08:06would get into trouble if it wasn't we clean every morning and every day
0:08:06 > 0:08:10after work. People come down to make sure everything is good.I want to
0:08:10 > 0:08:15know about bunks, I'm tall. Are they long enough? No-one is in this one.
0:08:15 > 0:08:23We will find out. Let's sea.Here we go. Oh, yes. It's nice.Just about.
0:08:23 > 0:08:30I've got room to spare up here.Yep. The ship also has its hospital ward,
0:08:30 > 0:08:36operating theatre and five gyms. That temporary blue flag is about to
0:08:36 > 0:08:40come down for the last time. From tomorrow the Queen Elizabeth will be
0:08:40 > 0:08:45flying the white flag of a commissioned Royal Navy ship. It's
0:08:45 > 0:08:48been an aI mazing experience being on board. She's a British
0:08:48 > 0:08:54engineering marvel. What a privilege. If you want to watch that
0:08:54 > 0:08:58ceremony, it will be live on the BBC News Channel at 11.00am tomorrow
0:08:58 > 0:09:10morning. Dan has stowed away. Nick Wallis is here to talk about Big
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Lizzie as she is known by the Royal Navy. She isn't ready for service
0:09:14 > 0:09:19yet?No she is seaworthy. She is an aircraft carrier that doesn't have
0:09:19 > 0:09:23planes yet. The Stealth fighters which the Americans are designing
0:09:23 > 0:09:27and building aren't quite ready yet. They have been running over budget.
0:09:27 > 0:09:33Huge delays in them being ready. They don't test the plane on Big
0:09:33 > 0:09:38Lizzie until next year. Given how much testing, with staff involved,
0:09:38 > 0:09:43she won't be put on deployment until 2021. There are criticisms about the
0:09:43 > 0:09:49cost overrun on this ship and her sister ship the Prince of Wales. Due
0:09:49 > 0:09:56to cost £4 billion, current estimates, £6. 2 billion. That is a
0:09:56 > 0:09:59builder giving you a quote and then saying 50% on top. There are
0:09:59 > 0:10:04concerns it could be vulnerable to attack. The Russians and Chinese are
0:10:04 > 0:10:10developing new antiship missiles. They this ship... There was a quote
0:10:10 > 0:10:14made by the Russians the other day. Stephen likes this. What was it they
0:10:14 > 0:10:21said about the Queen Elizabeth.It's a large convenient naval target.
0:10:21 > 0:10:30Very good.That was Russian!2021 is a long way away. What will they do
0:10:30 > 0:10:35with her in the meantime?The testing. So much training that is
0:10:35 > 0:10:40involved in being able to make these ships work in an operational
0:10:40 > 0:10:45theatre. Especially when the planes, which are new themselves, haven't
0:10:45 > 0:10:48been landed on the craft. There will be war games played before it can be
0:10:48 > 0:10:54used. Four years does seem like a long time.It does.It will be in
0:10:54 > 0:11:00service for half a century. Once it gets going it will be going a while.
0:11:00 > 0:11:08Will is a beer.I have hands on carrier pale ale to celebrate Big
0:11:08 > 0:11:16Lizzie. It is making me feel pretty fighty. It's doing the job. The
0:11:16 > 0:11:25world must crumble when it looks the ship. Who is up for it these days?
0:11:25 > 0:11:32The Russians. I'm worried.It will be served on board and tomorrow.The
0:11:32 > 0:11:36Queen might try it. 5p goes to the Royal Navy and Royal Marine
0:11:36 > 0:11:40charities as well.Nice to see you.
0:11:40 > 0:11:43Now imagine waking up one morning to discover that Donald Trump has
0:11:43 > 0:11:45sent you an angry tweet that was read by something
0:11:45 > 0:11:47like 40 million people.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49That's what happened to Theresa May - Theresa May
0:11:49 > 0:11:50from Bognor Regis that is.
0:11:50 > 0:11:56Here's what happened next.
0:11:56 > 0:12:02Seaside towns and party political conferences are linked. For some
0:12:02 > 0:12:06reason up until now they have completely bypassed Bognor Regis
0:12:06 > 0:12:12here. Today, all that changes. We've got a press conference taking place
0:12:12 > 0:12:19right here. You may have read how Donald Trump tweeted his annoyance
0:12:19 > 0:12:24to the wrong Theresa May at the end of last week, show how there is one
0:12:24 > 0:12:28set of buttons he shouldn't be in charge of. That Theresa May wants
0:12:28 > 0:12:32her say. She is a single mum of three and a qualified teaching
0:12:32 > 0:12:36assistant. Before the conference, I've been given a chance to a
0:12:36 > 0:12:43private audience with the keynote speaker. Theresa May, why have you
0:12:43 > 0:12:49decided to hold a press conference now?I looked at my phone and there
0:12:49 > 0:12:55was loads and loads of friend requests and messages. There was 30
0:12:55 > 0:13:02reporters on my mess injury. Messenger. I'm not Theresa May the
0:13:02 > 0:13:06Prime Minister, I'm Theresa May from Bognor Regis. There is a difference.
0:13:06 > 0:13:12If Donald Trump was sitting where I am right now, what would you say?
0:13:12 > 0:13:19Think before you tweet and look at who you are tweeting.We are very
0:13:19 > 0:13:26close now to the start of the press conference. I've emerged from the
0:13:26 > 0:13:30press scrum that's building. It's building behind us at the moment. A
0:13:30 > 0:13:35lot of questions, a lot of questions people have.
0:13:39 > 0:13:46Good afternoon everybody and thank you for coming. President Trump sent
0:13:46 > 0:13:51me a tweet. I'm not the Prime Minister, I am Theresa May from
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Bognor Regis. I would like Donald Trump to
0:13:54 > 0:13:59acknowledge that he made a mistake. He needs to clarify which Theresa
0:13:59 > 0:14:03May is which to his Twitter followers so that I can now get on
0:14:03 > 0:14:07with my life. Thank you everyone. I will not be taking any more
0:14:07 > 0:14:12questions.That is how you do a press conference. Deliver your
0:14:12 > 0:14:17message, get out. In the Bognor Regis Post will you be demanding
0:14:17 > 0:14:22answers from Donald Trump and apology from him?I will quote
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Theresa May if she's demanding answers.That is what she wants.
0:14:25 > 0:14:29What is your deadline today?It's not today. It's a weekly paper.A
0:14:29 > 0:14:37weekly?Yeah.What's next for Bognor Regis' most important woman?My
0:14:37 > 0:14:40number one priority are my children. Next year will be my year. It will
0:14:40 > 0:14:45be the year that I get the job in the school.Big year.That's my
0:14:45 > 0:14:52year.Listen it's been an absolute pleasure.And you. Lovely meeting
0:14:52 > 0:14:58you.My favourite press conference ever.Ah, thank you.What a good
0:14:58 > 0:15:03sport she was. We have tweeted her statement to Donald Trump. We are
0:15:03 > 0:15:06still awaiting a response. You never know, we have three quarters of an
0:15:06 > 0:15:11hour left. You quite like that?I thought it was fantastic to see her
0:15:11 > 0:15:17sticking it back to him. Good girl. Stephen, we will talk about your
0:15:17 > 0:15:20latest project which we were lucky enough to catch this afternoon. We
0:15:20 > 0:15:28saw it. It's about the kind of the world of the writer of more came and
0:15:28 > 0:15:32Wise, this Eddie Braben. What a character he was.Yes.A biopic
0:15:32 > 0:15:33about him and his life?
0:15:42 > 0:15:56It starts in 1969 after Eric had suffered his first heart attack and
0:15:56 > 0:16:01the writers have moved to America. Eddie had just finished a 15 year
0:16:01 > 0:16:05relationship with Ken Dodd so he was available. A producer at the BBC was
0:16:05 > 0:16:08trying to put the maverick together which Eddie was not too keen on
0:16:08 > 0:16:11because he saw Morecambe and wise as two men who delivered their material
0:16:11 > 0:16:14and there wasn't much of a relationship but when you met them,
0:16:14 > 0:16:16he said they were closer than any brothers, and he said he wanted to
0:16:16 > 0:16:19work on the character of Eric and Ernie, and introduced them at home,
0:16:19 > 0:16:21even to them being in bed together, which emulated their comedy heroes,
0:16:21 > 0:16:28Laurel and Hardy.It was that really intense relationship and
0:16:28 > 0:16:33conversational style that was almost born from him.Absolutely. He felt
0:16:33 > 0:16:38that Ernie didn't really have a great character before then. So he
0:16:38 > 0:16:43introduced the frustrated playwright and the fact that Eric was the only
0:16:43 > 0:16:48one allowed to sort of criticise him and if anyone else did, Eric leapt
0:16:48 > 0:16:52to his defence, and that is what the nation took to their hearts, that
0:16:52 > 0:17:01they were like two favourite uncles. Every year, their followers got
0:17:01 > 0:17:06larger and larger.But the strain told on Eddie himself.This must be
0:17:06 > 0:17:13a dream come true for you because you were a huge fan.I couldn't
0:17:13 > 0:17:17believe my luck, really. I was one of those kids that was so devoted to
0:17:17 > 0:17:23them, I would learn all the people that went in the credits, so Eddie
0:17:23 > 0:17:27Braben was someone very familiar. Let's just have a look at the moment
0:17:27 > 0:17:30where you are trying to convince Eric and Ernie to try something a
0:17:30 > 0:17:37little bit different.Talking to that bloke there, not reach the back
0:17:37 > 0:17:45wall of the Glasgow Empire. Lose the performance, is what I'm saying.
0:17:45 > 0:17:51Because if we lose that then we get to you two, you see, and there's a
0:17:51 > 0:17:55magic between you two. I didn't see it before, but I do now. If you can
0:17:55 > 0:18:00show that magic to the world, and if he stays upright, I don't see what
0:18:00 > 0:18:04can stop you lads. I don't see what can stop you.
0:18:04 > 0:18:12APPLAUSE Unfortunately Eddie passed away in
0:18:12 > 0:18:252013, but you met his wife.And it was her idea, wasn't it?Yes, Dee
0:18:25 > 0:18:29Braben owned Eddie's state and our producer went down and delivered the
0:18:29 > 0:18:34script to him. I spent a nervous two hour was walking round North Wales
0:18:34 > 0:18:39while she read it unfortunately she gave it her blessing.It is very
0:18:39 > 0:18:46much about their lives, and that working-class background.He worked
0:18:46 > 0:18:50at a fruit and veg stall in St John's market in Liverpool and
0:18:50 > 0:18:54started writing jokes on paper bags in between serving customers and try
0:18:54 > 0:18:59to sell them to variety artists in Liverpool.You think of them has
0:18:59 > 0:19:02been successful the whole time. Did it come as a surprise to you when
0:19:02 > 0:19:10there was a time that they were not quite so famous?They were
0:19:10 > 0:19:13successful music hall act but it never translated to television. They
0:19:13 > 0:19:18described it as the box that buried Morecambe and wise. Until Eddie came
0:19:18 > 0:19:24along and develop this intimacy between them.He did so much work
0:19:24 > 0:19:29with them. He had so much pressure as their popularity grew, so he he
0:19:29 > 0:19:32had the right best route is more and more, and it did take its toll Lane
0:19:32 > 0:19:42end.It did. He was less all right. He would take the night train, back
0:19:42 > 0:19:47to Liverpool, the sleeper. And Eric said that it was the worst job in
0:19:47 > 0:19:51the world, staring at a blank sheet of paper every day and come up with
0:19:51 > 0:19:56those shows, and then as the shows got successful, having to try and
0:19:56 > 0:20:01better them every year, and we take it up to the 1977 Christmas special,
0:20:01 > 0:20:07the last one that they did for the BBC, which got 28 million viewers!
0:20:07 > 0:20:14That is like half the population.I was 12 at the time in my grandma 's
0:20:14 > 0:20:18house in Stockton on Tees and were 20 people crammed round the
0:20:18 > 0:20:21television set so you could double those figures.That was the
0:20:21 > 0:20:26pressure. There was a moment when we are all sitting here, now, entertain
0:20:26 > 0:20:33us.Yes, it sort of lifts the lid. Anything that seems effortless
0:20:33 > 0:20:39seldom isn't.It is a beautiful piece of television.It makes you
0:20:39 > 0:20:43proud to be British, it really does.
0:20:43 > 0:20:53Eric, Ernie and Me" is on BBC Four at 9pm on 29th.
0:20:54 > 0:20:57As the governor will tell you, no pub is complete without a dog
0:20:57 > 0:21:00slobbering over a bag of crisps in the corner, but what might be
0:21:00 > 0:21:02entertaining for the punters, isn't necessarily best for the pets.
0:21:02 > 0:21:04Earlier in the year, Miranda met some animals
0:21:04 > 0:21:06so overweight they'd been enrolled in a fit club.
0:21:06 > 0:21:13But has it done the trick?
0:21:13 > 0:21:18One third of all dogs and a quarter of all cats are overweight. Six
0:21:18 > 0:21:22months ago, The One Show met some of the UK but Matt fatness pets at the
0:21:22 > 0:21:26photo shoot in Derby for the PDSA annual slimming competition. Today
0:21:26 > 0:21:30I'm back in Derby to catch up with three of the pets whose growing
0:21:30 > 0:21:34waistlines cause their owners to take action. It is time to find out
0:21:34 > 0:21:42exactly how they got on and which one will be crowned the winner of
0:21:42 > 0:21:46the Pet Fit Club. Lola the rabbit was eating a bag of carrots a day as
0:21:46 > 0:21:50well as a rabbit food and was 36% overweight. Barnaby the cat was
0:21:50 > 0:21:55rescued with an age of leg and had been spoiled with Greece ever since.
0:21:55 > 0:22:00He was 65% over his ideal weight. And Alfie the beagle love chips and
0:22:00 > 0:22:06hated exercise which led him to become 67% overweight. The even met
0:22:06 > 0:22:12Nicola Adams and David Walliams before starting his journey. They
0:22:12 > 0:22:15have shown some of the most dramatic weight loss in a competition but now
0:22:15 > 0:22:23that time for the final weigh in is almost upon us. Lola is a
0:22:23 > 0:22:28continental giant rabbit, and her ideal weight is 5.5 kilograms.We
0:22:28 > 0:22:36have the results. 5.6 kilograms. What will see before?7.4 kilograms
0:22:36 > 0:22:46to start with.That is a weight loss of a quarter of her body weight,
0:22:46 > 0:22:494lbs.We feel that when we are feeding them we are feeding them
0:22:49 > 0:22:53with love, so we're overfeeding them, we are overfeeding them with
0:22:53 > 0:22:59not just pet food but human food. We are looking at the equivalent of two
0:22:59 > 0:23:05cheeseburgers for a person. So, treats should be treats, something
0:23:05 > 0:23:11given once a month as a treat. Carrots are no longer on the menu
0:23:11 > 0:23:20for Lola. She has lost more weight than any rabbit before her at Pet
0:23:20 > 0:23:24Fit Club.She runs around the garden doing bunny hops now, and the bond
0:23:24 > 0:23:29between us has got better. Would you agree?And a great result for
0:23:29 > 0:23:34Barnaby the cat. He has lost 17 centimetres from his waistline with
0:23:34 > 0:23:43a weight loss of 1lb 7oz. His owners no longer share their dinner with
0:23:43 > 0:23:48him and creep into lots of playing and cuddles instead.We are really
0:23:48 > 0:23:52proud of Barnaby, not just for him but for ourselves. There are other
0:23:52 > 0:23:57ways of showing love, other than food. Now there is just no going
0:23:57 > 0:24:04back. He is a happier, healthier contented cat.At the start of the
0:24:04 > 0:24:08competition Alfie the beagle weighed an incredible 30 kilograms. What do
0:24:08 > 0:24:16the scale say now?19.7 kilograms. That is a loss of ten kilograms,
0:24:16 > 0:24:22more than 1.5 stone.Well done you for putting in order that legwork.
0:24:22 > 0:24:29It must have been really tough with those big beagle eyes. Alfie was
0:24:29 > 0:24:32transformed from becoming out of breath after walking five metres to
0:24:32 > 0:24:38enjoying five mile hikes with owner Emily.More is more active, more
0:24:38 > 0:24:43playful, he wants to play all the time. It is all about just changing
0:24:43 > 0:24:48our behaviour as well as changing his lifestyle.The winner of the
0:24:48 > 0:24:51PDSA Pet Fit Club competition is the pet that has lost the highest
0:24:51 > 0:24:57percentage of their body weight. Of Barnaby, Alfie and Lola, which will
0:24:57 > 0:25:07be crowned the biggest loser? Drum roll... The winner of PDSA Pet Fit
0:25:07 > 0:25:20Club 2017 is... It's Alfie! Well done, amazing! Pet Fit Club is all
0:25:20 > 0:25:24about getting owners to realise that truly loving your pet means not
0:25:24 > 0:25:30feeding it take away is all too many trees. So that they stay fit and
0:25:30 > 0:25:34healthy to lead along a happy life, we need to make sure that our pets
0:25:34 > 0:25:43do as well. Let's welcome the PDSA Slimmer of the Year, it is Alfie the
0:25:43 > 0:25:53beagle! Look at the before and after. It is brilliant. Are you all
0:25:53 > 0:25:57right? He looks like a different dog. And we have got Stef, his
0:25:57 > 0:26:02owner, here, well. It is just his eyes and his nose, and wagging his
0:26:02 > 0:26:07tail away. Just a beautiful, big dog. Was this quite a challenge for
0:26:07 > 0:26:14you?Not so much for Alfie because he would do whatever we want him to
0:26:14 > 0:26:20do. But for us it was difficult to adapt our lifestyle to walking more
0:26:20 > 0:26:24and feeding more. But the support we have had from the PDSA and friends
0:26:24 > 0:26:28and family has been second to none. We couldn't have done it without
0:26:28 > 0:26:32them, and this is the outcome. I just want to encourage people to do
0:26:32 > 0:26:36something about it. It has nothing to be ashamed of. If you think
0:26:36 > 0:26:43there's a problem then take your pet to the vets.Could go some way
0:26:43 > 0:26:47towards increasing people's awareness, a film like that, but it
0:26:47 > 0:26:52is a huge problem that people don't really know about.It is an
0:26:52 > 0:26:58ever-increasing problem, sadly. Obesity in pets is one of the top
0:26:58 > 0:27:01three animal welfare concerns. We have an estimated 40% of pets that
0:27:01 > 0:27:10are overweight at the moment. And, alongside that we have 1.6 million
0:27:10 > 0:27:13dogs and around 100,000 cats that are not getting any exercise --
0:27:13 > 0:27:20enough exercise.Do people not have a concept of how much they should be
0:27:20 > 0:27:24feeding their dogs in 24 hours, they give them dog food or cat food, then
0:27:24 > 0:27:30they treat them on top of that, so it all piles up.Absolutely right.
0:27:30 > 0:27:36First of all is to know your pet. To know how much it should way. And
0:27:36 > 0:27:40then to look at packaging food guidelines and look at giving
0:27:40 > 0:27:44something correctly. But treats are the easiest things. This is what is
0:27:44 > 0:27:48happening with this increasing obesity problem. A treats should be
0:27:48 > 0:27:53a treat that is given once abdomen -- once a month, once every couple
0:27:53 > 0:27:57of months. But what things to happen is, and I hear it from many owners,
0:27:57 > 0:28:02treats are given every day, sometimes every hour, every day.
0:28:02 > 0:28:07Then it is not a treat but part of the daily intake. We have many
0:28:07 > 0:28:12comparisons you saw before with human food and animal is being fed
0:28:12 > 0:28:19inappropriate diets as well. Three cubes of cheese, if you give that to
0:28:19 > 0:28:26your cat, and cats and dogs do love cheese... Three cubes of cheese for
0:28:26 > 0:28:34a cat is equivalent to meet eating two cheeseburgers.You couldn't do
0:28:34 > 0:28:39that everyday!If you are dog, same thing, two big pieces of chocolate.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43The big problem with obesity, though, is the problem we have with
0:28:43 > 0:28:48health care. At leads to diabetes and heart problems. And we have got
0:28:48 > 0:28:54to stop this.The best treats you can give our things to promote
0:28:54 > 0:28:59exercise. Alfie will be delighted with this. All of the King
0:28:59 > 0:29:04graduation should go to Emily fall of the hard work you put in. -- all
0:29:04 > 0:29:11of the congratulation should go to Emily.Thank you.
0:29:11 > 0:29:15We're going back to life on the ocean waves now in a slightly
0:29:15 > 0:29:16smaller ship than HMS Elizabeth.
0:29:16 > 0:29:17No comfy bunks and no fitted kitchens.
0:29:17 > 0:29:20Right up there with the most physical and financially demanding
0:29:20 > 0:29:25jobs, sea fishing is not for the faint-hearted.
0:29:25 > 0:29:33The training reflects that, as Lucy's found out.
0:29:33 > 0:29:35It's 7:30am, 23-year-old Kieran Gilmour from Manchester is heading
0:29:35 > 0:29:47out on his daily lobster catch. And under has experienced skipper he is
0:29:47 > 0:29:50training to become one of the next generation of British fishermen,
0:29:50 > 0:29:57swapping life in the city for one on the ocean. Kieran has picked an
0:29:57 > 0:30:01interesting time for a career change. The UK fishing industry is
0:30:01 > 0:30:05in decline, but the number of fishermen on UK vessels about half
0:30:05 > 0:30:11of what it was in the 1980s.As it stands today we haven't got a trauma
0:30:11 > 0:30:16working out of the port where is 20 years ago we had 24.According to
0:30:16 > 0:30:21one man at least, there could be a boom on the way.When we bit when we
0:30:21 > 0:30:25leave the EU will become an independent coastal state and we can
0:30:25 > 0:30:30then extend control of our waters up to 200 miles.That makes finding a
0:30:30 > 0:30:37new wave of recruits even more important. The fishing industry is
0:30:37 > 0:30:41very much looking for a return to his heyday, if you like, so I'm keen
0:30:41 > 0:30:51to find out how they feel about the changes that Brexit could bring.
0:30:51 > 0:30:55What on earth has made you forge a career in this industry? It is hard,
0:30:55 > 0:31:02it is called.Demanding, yes.A little bit breezy, I have to admit.
0:31:02 > 0:31:09Can you tell me about how it is, day to day?You work for 36 hours at a
0:31:09 > 0:31:16time.Some people would say...Bit too much.Does your family worry
0:31:16 > 0:31:26about you?Yes, my Nan worries about me.That she? That is very sweet.
0:31:26 > 0:31:31How many have you caught?Eight lobsters.Are we happy?Yeah, it's
0:31:31 > 0:31:37good.How do you feel about it, are you looking forward to it?
0:31:37 > 0:31:45Definitely. They took 100 trawlers off this coast.Who has?Brussels.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48You don't believe they have your best interests at all?Not all. We
0:31:48 > 0:31:53are a nation of sea Fayers and fishermen. We know what we're doing.
0:31:53 > 0:32:00We don't want anybody from Brussels telling us what to do. The EU's
0:32:00 > 0:32:06Common Fisheries Policy allocates strict quotas on it's designed to
0:32:06 > 0:32:09keep fish stocks at sustainable levels. One report found that 60% of
0:32:09 > 0:32:12fish caught in British waters was landed by trawlers from outside the
0:32:12 > 0:32:18UK.Veteran trawlermen like Arnold Locker think Britain should be
0:32:18 > 0:32:23taking a bigger share of the pot. Sglm if you sweep away this
0:32:23 > 0:32:28regulation through the EU, isn't it putting the sustainability gains,
0:32:28 > 0:32:31the bounceback with cod, isn't it putting that at risk because you are
0:32:31 > 0:32:35sweeping away this regulation?We have to be responsible for the fish
0:32:35 > 0:32:40that is in our waters. I want to get back to where it was. I want a
0:32:40 > 0:32:46fishing community. I want guys to be rewarded for the hard work. We will
0:32:46 > 0:32:56be somebody again. We will be a fishing town again.That's why with
0:32:56 > 0:33:00assistance from Government funding Arnold helped to set up the Fishing
0:33:00 > 0:33:04School. Kieran and 20 other young recruits have been training for the
0:33:04 > 0:33:09last 12 months.There is a distinct lack of young people coming into the
0:33:09 > 0:33:14industry. We wanted them to have the trying here in Whitby. The guys have
0:33:14 > 0:33:20a very, very bright future, but it's up to them.What happened there? The
0:33:20 > 0:33:26school's future could be in doubt after it was told it no longer
0:33:26 > 0:33:32qualifies an official apprenticeship schemele, cutting off funding?All
0:33:32 > 0:33:37apprenticeships US must be applaud. Ours are classed as non-employed
0:33:37 > 0:33:41apprentices. We have had our apprenticeship qualification taken
0:33:41 > 0:33:48away. So now we are delivering the qualification under the heading of
0:33:48 > 0:33:54diploma.When the Government is keen to expand the industry, why are they
0:33:54 > 0:33:57you cutting back on money available for training? It's a question we put
0:33:57 > 0:34:03to Michael Gove, he wouldn't come on the boat.Brexit will be good for
0:34:03 > 0:34:07our coast al communities and fishing industry overall. I'm committed to
0:34:07 > 0:34:10making sure the resources there in order to guarantee that the next
0:34:10 > 0:34:14generation of those who want to go to sea are supported to do so.As
0:34:14 > 0:34:19for life at sea, despite the choppy political waters, Kieran and Mike
0:34:19 > 0:34:24are happy with their catch.12 lobsters. Not a bad day.I think
0:34:24 > 0:34:27it's fair to say that Michael Gove didn't really answer the question
0:34:27 > 0:34:32there.Not really.We have been told by the authorities it's working with
0:34:32 > 0:34:37the school to put long-term funding in place beyond next year which is
0:34:37 > 0:34:40when the current funding runs out. Let's hope they can offer the case
0:34:40 > 0:34:44for many more years to come.Good luck to all the trainees in Whitby.
0:34:44 > 0:34:48They were going to come in tonight they have exams tomorrow. Good luck.
0:34:48 > 0:34:53We were talking about Whitby, both from that area.Yes.You must have
0:34:53 > 0:34:58gone there loads as a kid? Definitely. For enormous fish and
0:34:58 > 0:35:06chips.That is what it's about the fish and chips. Heartening to see
0:35:06 > 0:35:12effort being put into the British industry. No self respecting cod
0:35:12 > 0:35:21wants to end up in France when it could be in British fish and chips.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24You have a special Christmas special. You are making Christmas
0:35:24 > 0:35:30special?You can't say Christmas any more these days, can you? You can't
0:35:30 > 0:35:34even say Christmas, can you, Stephen? You can't even say
0:35:34 > 0:35:39Christmas any more. I'm doing my bit to put Christmas back into Christmas
0:35:39 > 0:35:45and make Christmas great again.OK. We have aened woerful little moment
0:35:45 > 0:35:48from the show. Let's look at you talking about Christmas trees.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Christmas trees are a beautiful British tradition. Who else in the
0:35:51 > 0:35:56world would cut down a perfectly healthy tree and watch it slowly die
0:35:56 > 0:36:06in your louge! They don't do that in Belgium. Santa, Santa, he's British.
0:36:06 > 0:36:11Of course he is. Speaks for himself. He drives the sleigh on the left
0:36:11 > 0:36:16hand side of the sky. Classic British workers. Works the bear
0:36:16 > 0:36:19minimum - one day a year. That's right. It takes someone to point
0:36:19 > 0:36:26this stuff out.You can't argue with logic like that, can you?You have
0:36:26 > 0:36:33some celebrity friends on the night. Yes. It's - who is that of British
0:36:33 > 0:36:40light entertainment. I have all sorts of people of star, screen and
0:36:40 > 0:36:44people you only see in a magazine. Myleene is a top name?That is the
0:36:44 > 0:36:50top. We have everything. We have Love Island people, nice for people
0:36:50 > 0:36:54over the age of 23 who don't know what they look like.This comes from
0:36:54 > 0:37:00a deep-rooted passion of yours. When you were a young landlord what was
0:37:00 > 0:37:07the best thing you got from Santa? Keys my own pub when I was 18 years
0:37:07 > 0:37:12old, I pulled my first pint and they called me Golf nor. Beautiful
0:37:12 > 0:37:15moment.You have strong opinions as well on Christmas lunch, don't you?
0:37:15 > 0:37:19Trimmings. You have to have all the trimmings, haven't you? You can't
0:37:19 > 0:37:25have some, you have to have them all. Turkey, pigs in blankets, roast
0:37:25 > 0:37:30spuds, cranberry sauce. You have to have sprouts. Are you a sprouts
0:37:30 > 0:37:38person?I love a sprout.I knew you would be. Are you?Yes.This country
0:37:38 > 0:37:45didn't get great by eating sprouts that people like.You know they are
0:37:45 > 0:37:50called "Brussels."They are just sprouts now.That is the big
0:37:50 > 0:37:54difference after wreck Brexit.Any vegetable that is best served
0:37:54 > 0:37:58heavily boiled and gives you wind is a perfect example of the British
0:37:58 > 0:38:01tough spirit and the Dunkirk spirit and the bulldog spirit that made
0:38:01 > 0:38:06this country great. You can't argue with that, can you?Stephen what are
0:38:06 > 0:38:14you doing this Christmas?I'm going to be away.Where?Yeah. You know...
0:38:14 > 0:38:19I'm going to be in San Francisco. How come, why?I fancied a change.
0:38:19 > 0:38:23Holiday.I haven't had one for two years.Nice. We weren't expecting
0:38:23 > 0:38:28that answer.Do they have Christmas there?I'm not sure.Check the
0:38:28 > 0:38:37potatoes. Roast potatoes. I'm not sure about that.Is the pub open?My
0:38:37 > 0:38:42gaff is always open. For people to get away from their families. 5.00pm
0:38:42 > 0:38:49it fills up with people desperate to escape their children. Or looking
0:38:49 > 0:38:53for batteries.Classic.The worst thing ever is when you get a present
0:38:53 > 0:38:58with no batteries.What's the point? Exactly, what is the point. I don't
0:38:58 > 0:39:03know if we have the answer for that. That's philosophical for the One
0:39:03 > 0:39:06Show. What is the point, ladies and gentlemen.Are you hoping for
0:39:06 > 0:39:12anything in particular?Peace, goodwill to all men. A foot spa.
0:39:12 > 0:39:16Have you done that thing...You are on your feet a lot.Have you done
0:39:16 > 0:39:20the thing with the fish.No.You have, haven't you?The thing with
0:39:20 > 0:39:27the fish.The fish nibble your feet. I can't think of anything worse.Oh,
0:39:27 > 0:39:35my God.We did it a couple of years ago.No.You have these items you
0:39:35 > 0:39:39forget them. You will have forgotten about that dog in six weeks time.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43Another dog in here who has done something else amazing.You can see
0:39:43 > 0:39:57the governor make Christmas great again on ITV, 9.00pm, December 22nd.
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Following hot on the heels of Derry/Londonderry and Hull,
0:39:59 > 0:40:02the UK's new City of Culture will be announced tomorrow
0:40:02 > 0:40:03live on The One Show.
0:40:03 > 0:40:06It's a title that's awarded every four years with the winning city
0:40:06 > 0:40:07taking up the crown in 2021.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09And, as you'll imagine, the competition is pretty tough.
0:40:09 > 0:40:12Home to the second oldest football club in the world, Stoke-on-Trent
0:40:12 > 0:40:18could run circles around the opposition. Created from six smaller
0:40:18 > 0:40:25towns back in 1910 it punches above its weight as the world capital of
0:40:25 > 0:40:33ceramics. Swansea was beaten by Hull in the battle for the 2017 crown,
0:40:33 > 0:40:39described by Thomas as its ugly town. It can still play girt dirty.
0:40:39 > 0:40:47Coventry is the birth place of Saint George and the dragon slayer. It has
0:40:47 > 0:40:51realifier power. None as Britain's Motor City the rest will have to go
0:40:51 > 0:40:56full-throttle to catch it. Step up Sunderland. Once celebrate withed as
0:40:56 > 0:41:01the largest shipbuilding down in the world and the inspiration behind
0:41:01 > 0:41:05Lewis Carroll's Wonder land. It's home of the electrical lightbulb.
0:41:05 > 0:41:11They don't make them like that any more. As the birthplace of the
0:41:11 > 0:41:15Scottish hero William Wallis, Paisley leads the charge north of
0:41:15 > 0:41:20the border. Fay mouse for its threads mills, it's not technically
0:41:20 > 0:41:25a city, try tell to that Braefheart.
0:41:25 > 0:41:27We'll be revealing the winner at about 7.20pm tomorrow,
0:41:27 > 0:41:30but what better way to get the rivalry going than with
0:41:30 > 0:41:32a contest of our own right now?
0:41:32 > 0:41:42We have a publican from each of the towns.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48From Swansea, it's Allan, landlord of the Brunswick Arms.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51Flying the flag for Sunderland, it's Bob, landlord of the Wolsey.
0:41:51 > 0:41:54All the way from Paisley, it's Lisa, landlady of the Wee Howff.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56And on behalf of Stoke-on-Trent, it's Paul, landlord
0:41:56 > 0:42:02of the Holy Inadequate.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Welcome all. APPLAUSE.

0:46:33 > 0:46:35We're off to a city now that's not on the shortlist,
0:46:35 > 0:46:37but definitely isn't lacking on the culture front.
0:46:37 > 0:46:40A reputation that was helped by a certain author and a rather
0:46:40 > 0:46:41cunning publicity stunt.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44Over to Cerys.
0:46:44 > 0:46:51In 1981 book was published that painted the city of Glasgow in a new
0:46:51 > 0:46:54and intriguing light. It is now regarded as one of the most
0:46:54 > 0:46:58important Scottish novels of the 20th-century. Not bad for a writer
0:46:58 > 0:47:08who was pretty much pronounced dead 17 years before its publication.
0:47:08 > 0:47:14Your macro that was Alasdair Gray, painter and writer. In 1964 the BBC
0:47:14 > 0:47:18had what appeared to be an obituary for one of Scotland's then leading
0:47:18 > 0:47:23artists but more than 50 years later this painter and author is very much
0:47:23 > 0:47:30alive, so what was going on?It was the director's idea. It was not well
0:47:30 > 0:47:40known. And why I was dead? Because people are interested in dead
0:47:40 > 0:47:46artists, Bordeaux.It was all the big hoax, and it tells you something
0:47:46 > 0:47:49about Alasdair Gray's surreal and playful character that just when
0:47:49 > 0:47:53many people thought he was dead, this unusual author was beginning
0:47:53 > 0:47:57work on a novel that would reinvent his career and change the face of
0:47:57 > 0:48:02Scottish literature. It is a weird and wonderful book, a classic
0:48:02 > 0:48:08coming-of-age tale but with a twist. It tells the tale of a young
0:48:08 > 0:48:16Glaswegian artist, Duncan Thaw, and his alter ego, Lanark, who suffers
0:48:16 > 0:48:20from a mysterious disease and lives in the imagine city of Unthank. It
0:48:20 > 0:48:26is a deeply unsettling place.When I looked at them I saw the faces did
0:48:26 > 0:48:32not fit. The skin on their skulls crawled and twitched, like potatoes
0:48:32 > 0:48:36with calling services punctured by holes which opened and shut,
0:48:36 > 0:48:44secreting sort, wax and is not.It is a nightmarish world, but also
0:48:44 > 0:48:50strangely familiar. Many other locations in the imaginary city of
0:48:50 > 0:48:55Unthank are lifted directly from real-life Glasgow, from the
0:48:55 > 0:48:58spaghetti like tangle of motorways piling through the city centre, do
0:48:58 > 0:49:03this, the necropolis, were the final apocalyptic scene of the novel is
0:49:03 > 0:49:09played out. But this sweeping and ambitious story was not easy for
0:49:09 > 0:49:16Alasdair Gray to write.I used to hammer it out, I realised that I was
0:49:16 > 0:49:24wanting to write an epic, that would be to Scotland what Moby Dick was to
0:49:24 > 0:49:29the USA.In the book was released in the 80s, Glasgow was in a depressed
0:49:29 > 0:49:35state socially and economically, but Alasdair Gray's reimagining of the
0:49:35 > 0:49:39city created a cultural flowering and paved the way for later Scottish
0:49:39 > 0:49:49writers like Irving Welsh and Iain Banks. Doctor Emma Lister has
0:49:49 > 0:49:53studied the implications of this ground breaking novel.Id generated
0:49:53 > 0:49:56an interest in Scottish writing and Scottish fiction. We can see the
0:49:56 > 0:50:04effect of that flourish.This is what Alasdair Gray is trying to do,
0:50:04 > 0:50:07fire up the imagination of a city that had been sleeping to this
0:50:07 > 0:50:12point.And what he wants from his readers is for them to engage,
0:50:12 > 0:50:19construct and create a new possible imaginative Glasgow.Over three
0:50:19 > 0:50:28decades after Gray's reinvention of Glasgow, Lanark has the power to
0:50:28 > 0:50:31unsettle and inspire, a lasting testimony to the imaginative powers
0:50:31 > 0:50:36of its author, who are still painting and writing, well into his
0:50:36 > 0:50:4280s.My aim in writing the book was to entertain people. I don't think
0:50:42 > 0:50:47people are entertained unless they are stimulated into thought. I did
0:50:47 > 0:50:55not know time as to land. Events drift continually down over
0:50:55 > 0:51:01landmarks, raising the level, like snow. I have grown up. My maps are
0:51:01 > 0:51:14out of date. Land lies over me now. I cannot move. It is time to go.We
0:51:14 > 0:51:20are now here with Pete Tong, everybody.
0:51:20 > 0:51:26He is preparing to play us out with the Heritage Orchestra.
0:51:26 > 0:51:30This is an interesting concept that started back at the BBC Proms in
0:51:30 > 0:51:362015.What happened? We got this crazy idea, that I want to correct a
0:51:36 > 0:51:42prom, put one together, and I got introduced to George, here, and he
0:51:42 > 0:51:46luckily me about this, and we got together and worked on it for a few
0:51:46 > 0:51:51months, then we got to do this show. Then after the show got backstage
0:51:51 > 0:51:56and everyone was going crazy about it, like, what was that? One of the
0:51:56 > 0:52:00craziest things we'd ever done. Social media snowballed. There was a
0:52:00 > 0:52:06lot of demand to get out and do it again. In the end it was sold out,
0:52:06 > 0:52:09the Manchester Arena, the O2, Birmingham, and we put an album out
0:52:09 > 0:52:13and it got to number one. And here we are two years later.You have
0:52:13 > 0:52:17toured around the world.This yet was about pushing further, we took
0:52:17 > 0:52:27it back to Ibiza for the first time. It was the 50th birthday of
0:52:27 > 0:52:35marketing. We play to 6000 people in Ibiza town, so it was spectacular.
0:52:35 > 0:52:39We got to Australia at the beginning of the month, we played Melbourne
0:52:39 > 0:52:42and Sydney and finally, the Hollywood bowl, which is where I
0:52:42 > 0:52:47live now, so it was a home gig in Los Angeles. It was where The
0:52:47 > 0:52:53Beatles play, Jimi Hendrix, it was crazy.And now this new album, how
0:52:53 > 0:52:59would you describe it? You've done so much in your career. What impact
0:52:59 > 0:53:02does it have on those people who are listening to it, and what is it
0:53:02 > 0:53:08doing to them?Celebrating the Helen -- the heritage of the music and
0:53:08 > 0:53:12adding a bit of glamour to the songs that were the soundtracks of peoples
0:53:12 > 0:53:16lives, that have been going to club since the late 80s. That meant a lot
0:53:16 > 0:53:23to me to kind of big up how important those were, those artists.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26When I was making this album it reached out to a few of the axe,
0:53:26 > 0:53:36almost, like to get their permission, to the likes of McVitie.
0:53:36 > 0:53:40They were super supportive. It will never be better than the original
0:53:40 > 0:53:44but I wanted to create versions that can complement and stand alongside
0:53:44 > 0:53:48the original and that actually is what happened with classical visit,
0:53:48 > 0:53:52there are millions of versions of the same composition and we have a
0:53:52 > 0:53:59little bit of the spirit of that in these songs.We will let you get
0:53:59 > 0:54:12ready. Thank you so much. They have the Brute FLute, as it is known in
0:54:12 > 0:54:20the orchestra.And I have been going back to the role of Iwan in art
0:54:20 > 0:54:25along with Dennis Waterman and Nigel Davies for the next 16 weeks.

0:54:30 > 0:54:36Talking about 16 weeks, aren't you trying to try to break the record
0:54:36 > 0:54:39what has become the longest-running...? 78 weeks, I
0:54:39 > 0:54:47think, yes.Is it painting? What do you do?We discuss a painting, three
0:54:47 > 0:54:55friends. They are Frenchmen, what you expect?French blokes discussing
0:54:55 > 0:55:02a painting for an hour and a half?! You're coming to see at?!Thank you
