07/03/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Alex Jones.

And Matt Baker.

Loads of guests on the show tonight.

Let's check they're all here.

Lady Wilnelia Forsyth is with us -

she'll be sharing some memories

of her beloved husband Sir Bruce

ahead of a huge tribute

to him on Sunday.

We've got four mums on a mission -

my team-mates Amal, Debbie,

Jodie and Leigh.

Stop You have run training.

Around

Regents Park this afternoon.

I have.

Our guest tonight is not part of

your team.

Right.

You are going too

fast now.

I ain't bovvered! . I

ain't bovvered! .

Slow down, I'm not

joking.

I ain't bovvered! .

Please,

you've got to. No, please.

I ain't

bovvered! !

Please welcome Catherine Tate.

APPLAUSE

Welcome back.

Thank you.

That is

your inspiration.

It has. I'm

channelling that. Does that bear any

resemblance to Catherine Tate in

real-life?

That's a lot better than

I can do. Thats with a stunt double.

Was it?

NO! For goodness sake!

You

didn't do that speed at the end.

I

did.

Tremendous.

It's amazing the

power of my natural athleticism!

You

are not here to talk about your

character.

Sadly.

Serious

documentary on the British bulldog

we will get to it very shortly

snoochl yes.

We will.

It's a dodgy time to be opening

a restaurant with so many big

names including Prezzo,

Byron and Jamie's Italian all

closing branches on the high street.

Kevin's been to meet the staff

behind a venture that is planning

to buck the trend with a very

different way of doing business.

19-year-old Keenan has been out of

work for the last three months.

Job

opportunities are scarce around

here. There's not too many of them.

There's not many places opening up.

Sglm he lives in Solihull where the

unemployment rate is more than

double the national average and is

considered one of the most deprived

communities in the country. Right

now, I just want to get a job, save

up a good bit of money. Get myself a

place.

This could be the moment. His

future is about to go in a very

different direction. In just one

week's time the country's first

community-run traditional chippie

will open its doors. It will not

only give employment for the people

who live here, but all the money

made will be ploughed back into the

local area. Keenan is one of the

nine new who all live locally. Today

he is being trained up in

preparation for the grand opening.

I

was born just down the road from

here. I went to the school across

the road here.

Managing the team is

newly appointed local lad and former

industrial cleaner, Michel. Mitchel?

Has it changed much?

An awful lot.

It was quite run down around here.

They've knocked all the old shops

down and they have rebuilt these

shops.

The area has been part of a

£523 million regeneration plan. What

does it mean to you to be working

here?

It's turned my life around,

brilliantly. I mean, I'm so thankful

for the opportunity. My feet haven't

touched the ground.

I have to ask,

can I try one?

Yes.

They're not bad.

They're not bad. They're lovely. The

chip shop was the brain child of

Reverend Neil Roberts and is one of

social enterprises in the UK.

Someone has to open a fish and chip

shop. You see a national chain will

come in. Set it up and the profits

will go off the area. We thought,

why don't we run it.

The great thing

is that the money goes back into the

community. So what does that money

get spent on?

Pay the staff and pay

them properly. Pay our taxes. And

the profits after that are maybe

community events, support for

families. Opening more businesses

like community own brewery and look

at some housing project as well.

At

the chip shop, the new manager the

job is extra special. He will be

working alongside Emma who is

returning to work after seven years.

It's really important. It's a bit of

a life saver. It's going to help

with my kids growing up. We will be

able to provide for them.

Working

alongside your husband, how is that

going to be?

I don't know.

What

happens at home, stays at home.

Stays at home.

That's the answer.

Storm Emma meets the Beast from the

East and causes chaos across the UK.

The day of the grand opening and the

stormings have arrived.

Morning.

Freezing today, isn't it?

Despite

the snow, Mitchel is optimistic.

Hopefully people will come.

Not only

have people come, there is already a

queue waiting outside.

I can't wait.

Feeling hungry already.

After two

years of hard work, the doors can

finally open.

With all the excitement, Mitchel has

for got one crucial thing.

The

chips. I'm getting stressed.

The

chips are ready eventually and the

customers who have queued for over

an hour in the snow can finally have

their chippie tea.

Would you like

salt and vinegar.

Yes, please.

About

time something like this happened

around here, liven the place up a

bit and get everybody on board.

There is a a lot of people

interested in it. It's fantastic

idea.

It says a lot, doesn't it,

that we are queueing up in the snow

to get chips.

It really has opened

up a lot of doors for me. It's the

start of my employment life and

hopefully a good career. It's given

a few of my mates hope as well. If I

managed to get a job in this area,

anybody can.

All you need is some

curry sauce. Delicious.

You wouldn't

be down with that, would you?

Not

because it's curry. It's sauce.

Sauce has ingredients in it.

Catherine doesn't like anything with

ingredients!

What?

What are you

talking about? I like to look at

food and go that is a carrot I know

what is in that. A jug of sauce.

Could be anything!

Things that have

been mixed up and broken and poured.

Not for me!

That could be...

An

apple. I know what's in that.

Fair

enough.

You are here Catherine to

talk about saving the

BIG You have been

BIG You have been BROTHER:

BIG BROTHER: How much did you know

about the health issues before you

started this?

I didn't know. I am a

massive animal lover. I'm passionate

about animal welfare. I didn't know

the particular struggles and

challenges that some of the bulldogs

have. I didn't know. I was quite

shocked when I saw exactly what a

lot of them are going through.

Yes.

Breathing difficulties, joint

difficulties we are talking about.

Yeah. I certainly didn't know. I

think a lot of people don't know.

Really we did the programme to just

raise awareness. Just about how you

can be more responsible about where

you get your dog. Yeah, they do, a

lot of them suffer. It's because

over the years because of human

intervention we have shortened the

muzzle. So they have that squashed

up face that we really love and

think is really cute. But a lot of

the dogs struggle with that. A lot

of the time bulldogs, it has got a

lot better in recent years, but

bulldogs used to say when they were

at Crufts or dog shows you could

hear the bulldogs before you saw

them because of the breathing

difficulties. That has been mainly

eliminated out now because people

are more aware and breeders are much

more responsible.

The awareness is a

lot better.

The awareness is a lot

better. We are just trying to say

there is a long way to go.

Still a

long way to go. The lifespan of a

bulldog is about eight years whereas

average dogs it's about 12 in the

UK. People are spending a lot of

money trying it fix the problem? Are

they moving on. Is there a solution

to this in

There are things in

place, absolutely things in place to

help. One of them is to bring in...

To health test the dogs. It's not

compulsory, but it's really, really

useful because there are breeders

out there who health test the dogs.

The problem they have is the gene

pool is getting gradually so much

smaller to eliminate the problems.

It's such a tricky thing.

Looking

back to what the breed standard used

to be like when they were working

dogs. They had to be athletic. If

you think hundreds of years ago what

the dogs look like?

That is far

removed from the bulldog we know

now.

Definitely.

Over the years we

have made them what we feel is

cuter. The physical attributes we

look for dogs that make them cute,

the bulldogs, in some dogs that can

cause them problems. It's a real eye

opener. You have professionals in

this documentary who are saying,

it's like a call to arms. A lot of

professionals saying if we are not

careful this breed will not be fit

for life. It's a hard thing to hear.

It's a tricky thing because you meet

bulldog owners and they are... I

mean, every animal owner is devoted

to their dog. Bulldog owners love

their dogs so much.

Nobody is saying

they don't.

Never, this is not to

vilify. This is not to vilify people

in anyway. A lot of the time it's

admirable. A lot of the dog owners

they really have an undertaking to

take care of these dogs. They have

medicine cabinets. It's a ritual to

- for Bulger dog owners it's a

ritual to get them out-and-out in

the morning, like a baby.

You can see Catherine's programme

Saving the British Bulldog on 14th

of March at 9pm on BBC One

and at 10.45pm if you're

watching in Scotland.

How do you celebrate the life of one

of the UK's best loved entertainers?

With a spectacular

all-singing, all-dancing

variety show, that's how.

Carrie was backstage the night

the stars came out to pay

tribute to our friend,

the great Sir Bruce Forsyth And

didn't they do well.

Tonight at the London Palladium on

the eve of what would have been his

90th birthday, we remember one of

our favourites -- Brucie.

Mr

Saturday night television. Watching

the rest of the family laughing and

watching him. So you are enjoying

his programmes and also enjoying the

atmosphere that he created.

The

truth of the matter is the British

public were his audience. When he

came out they went Our era was wild.

Real showbusiness and we we went

into it because we wanted to

perform, not to be famous. There's a

difference. That's what Bruce loved.

He was a good friend to he m. He was

so kind. I met him, he's a huge

legend of showbusiness, I'm nobody.

He took me under his wing and

generous with with his time,

knowledge and wisdom.

He embodied

variety. A Jack of all trades,

master of all trades. He had a

remarkable ability to be very rude

to people and they didn't mind.

I

always loved that. We had a similar

jaw line. So you know.

You have the

chin.

For all I know he was relate

toed to me. Late -- related to me.

He was such a good friend.

I will

miss him. It's his birthday

tomorrow. Happy birthday Brucie.

I'm

backstage where preparations are

under way for tonight's performance.

There are singers, actors,

entertainers. Everything Bruce would

have held dear. Michael are you in

the bathroom? Good luck. Break a

leg. That is what you say in

showbusiness, isn't it

Michael Ball,

up you go. No warm-up. These die

guys, professionals!

guys, professionals!

Guided to the

right place. It's here.

Break a leg.

We are about to start. They are just

doing their last bit of tapping. I'm

off to watch from the wings.

STRICTLY THEME TUNE

As the night goes on the heart felt

tributes keep coming.

# You'll be there

# Between each line of pain and

glory. #

Good for you.

Yeah.

# You make me feel so young

# You make me feel there are songs

to be sung

# As to be wrong and a wonderful

thing... #

How was it?

What a lovely

atmosphere.

What is it like out

there?

It's great.

You look down and seeing loads of

familiar faces out there. Everyone

coming to do the same thing. This is

the stage to do it, London

Palladium, Brucie's second home.

The

fact they are asleep takes the

pressure off a little bit.

For the

grand finale, performing a song that

Brucie just loved, Dame Shirley

Bassey

You'll be able to see the full

show on Sunday night.

Sir Bruce: A Celebration

is on at 9pm on BBC One.

We are joined by Sir Bruce's wife,

Lady Wilnelia Forsyth.

A warm welcome to the show.

Thank you.

That must have been

bittersweet in a way, a lovely

sensation to see all those people in

that room speaking so fondly about

Sir Bruce.

It was an incredible

night and as you can imagine very

emotional for us as a family, but it

is something we will treasure for

ever. There was so much love and

affection there. We had not only the

family, but our closest friends and

a lot of fans. The atmosphere was

incredible and I hope if people

watch the show on Sunday they get

that kind of atmosphere as well.

What is it like for you when you

hear the stories of people saying

how he touched their lives and how

he made them feel?

I have always

been extremely proud of him. Not

only because of his professional

achievement, but personally he was

an incredible husband and father.

One example I can give you, we have

so many letters from so many people

and one of the letters was this lady

who mentioned she lost her mother at

the beginning of the year and then

her father had Alzheimer's. But

somehow he did not remember her, but

somehow he remembered Bruce. All the

time the doctors used to come into

his room he used to make them say,

nice to see you, to see you nice. It

shows you that somehow he made

people laugh, like you. So glad you

are here.

I have an amazing memory

of Bruce and I was due to do a show

with him that he could not be there

in the end. I was really nervous

because I was doing a tribute to

Victoria Wood and Bruce sent his own

personal pianist to my home to

practice with me.

Really?

Yes he

did.

We used to love it, it was

always a highlight. We ended up

going through his routine at one

point. He was showing us what he did

in bed before breakfast. You were

married 34 years. What are your

memories of when you first met Sarah

Bruce?

What was your first

impression? I met him in 1980. I was

living in Paris and I was invited to

be on the Miss world competition as

a judge five years before I was Miss

world. We met and he was one of the

judges as well. I thought it was

very kind of him. He was making the

girls so relaxed and at ease, and he

asked one of them, what do you eat

at Christmas? It was a silly

question, but then I could see he

was so wonderful. After the

competition finished they had the

gala and we danced and we danced all

night and it took a bit of time for

him to ask me to dance. I had a

friend of mine, he thought it was my

boyfriend, and then after that he

asked me for a dance and I never

went back. One of the things that

were special that he told me when

the evening was finished coming he

kissed my hand and said goodbye and

said, by the way, I have got five

daughters. I thought, why is he

telling me that? Maybe he does not

want to see me again. But these

girls have been amazing in my life

and I want to wish them a wonderful

mother's day and to all the mothers

in England. They have been

incredible and they have been my

rock. It has been a difficult time

for all of us. But somehow we are

strongly together and I am so glad

to have them as part of my life.

Thank you so much for coming in and

we will watch on Sunday night.

Thank

you, and can I say quickly for the

people who are donating, thank you

for the donations and for married

fury and you can go to the website

and Puerto Rico is still struggling

in many ways and I know Bruce will

thank you as well.

Thank you for

coming in. We look forward to the

Sunday night celebration.

We look forward to the Sunday

night celebration.

Just four days until Alex sets off

on The Mother Of All Challenges -

a week of swimming, climbing,

cycling, caving and running

all to raise awareness for maternal

health and much needed money

for Sport Relief.

Thankfully I'm not alone -

time to meet my next

two "mothers in arms",

Amal And Debbie.

The mothers and I are facing a

difficult week of challengers, but I

know that together we can do it.

There is something really nice about

a team of people doing something as

opposed to an individual. They have

been training hard for the past few

weeks and today it is time for me to

acclimatise myself and braved the

cold waters. The challenge certainly

feels real now and I think anxiety

is building.

Today is the first time

we get to take a look at Alex and

make sure she is in the right

condition and the right place to

take on this monumental challenge.

It is difficult to swim because you

are breathless before you start. You

know it will be called, but it is

another level.

The one thing I know

is psychologically she is tough,

which is a great thing on a

challenge like this. Alex is quite a

bit behind the others. They started

a bit before her and they have been

absolutely tenacious.

absolutely tenacious.

We are going

to keep it light and fun. I hope no

one falls off. My name is Amal, I am

31 and I live with my husband and my

baby boy. John and I wanted a baby,

so getting pregnant was not a

surprise. What was surprising was

the degree to which it affected me

physically and then later mentally.

I felt like a different person. I

really expected that to lift at some

point during the pregnancy. But it

did not.

Amal's mood was affected by

her lack of energy in the pregnancy

and due to the position of the baby

she had to have an emergency forceps

delivery and this caused a long-term

injury.

Household tasks were

difficult for me. I found it

difficult picking him up. I realised

he was not happy, what I did not

realise was I had postnatal

depression. I was irritable, I was

not enjoying being a mother, I was

just doing it.

With the help of her

husband and family, Amal began to

feel more like herself and was able

to bond with her son.

I started with

a personal trainer, I met with the

women's health physiotherapist and

together they helped guide me. I

focused on getting back to exercise

and I think that is when I started

turning a corner in my

understanding.

Having lived with

that experience it inspired Amal to

volunteer herself for the challenge.

For me it marks that gap between a

relatively difficult period in my

life and a new hopeful, more able

era.

That is brilliant. What about

you, Debbie, why did you think this

is for you?

I am menopausal, what

can I say? You do random. But for me

it is almost like the end to my

recovery. My first two pregnancies

were fine and with baby number three

I suffered a placenta eruption. I

was rushed to the hospital,

emergency Caesarean, and she came

out and she was basically dead.

There was no heartbeat, she was not

breathing and she was like that for

19 minutes. But they managed to get

her going. I asked if there would be

quality of life? I was told there

would be some quality of life. She

is absolutely perfect. She is so

lucky.

I am so lucky. After a

difficult start with Ellie, a year

later Debbie had her fourth daughter

and it was a few months after this

birth that she found herself unable

to cope.

Everything seemed very dark

and they did not seem to be an end

to the darkness. I had a meltdown

and I knew I had to go see someone.

I was able to realise that where I

had been so super strong when Ellie

was born, you cannot carry on being

that strong for ever. Part of the

reason I want to do this challenge

is to raise awareness. So many

mothers out there are struggling. It

is OK to say, I am struggling. It is

going to be fun. 50 for goodness'

sake.

sake.

I just want to relish the fact

I have a healthy body, a healthy

mind.

I think together we are a

strong team. We have given birth, so

this is going to be a walk in the

park.

We are doing it!

Now, the team. Welcome back.

Before

we start I have to say thank you so

much for sharing the story is so

honestly. It will resonate with so

many mothers out there which is the

point. You have already done a lot

in terms of that. But, yes, the

challenge still does lie ahead.

Let's recap. What are we doing? Open

water swimming in Loch Ness. We will

be cycling through the Lake

District.

Earlier on you said when you first

heard about it you thought it was a

nice day out.

I did.

That is what

comes from not reading the small

print. How are we feeling? We missed

a week of training because of the

snow and, Amal, you are ill.

How are

you now? I am fine now, but I would

not have been if I trained. I am

glad I had a few days off. I was hit

with a cold, it was bad.

You are not

taking your families with you and it

is tough because mother's day is

coming.

Yes, because we start on

mother's day. Physicality aside,

that is my biggest worry. Six days

is a long time to be away from

little Ted and your children as

well. Jodie, that is something that

worries you.

Yes, mother's day is a

nice event. I wake up and have

pancakes and coffee.

They make you

pancakes?

Yes, it is so nice. It is

a big deal for me and it is the

longest time I have been away from

my youngest. The oldest one is old

enough to have a conversation with

and they know about it, but the

youngest one does not. It will be

mentally really challenging.

We do

the swim on a Sunday. Your faces say

it all. Is that what you are most

worried about, Leigh?

Yes, it is

horrific for me. I have got out a

couple of times swimming in Loch

Lomond.

You are brave.

Stupid is

maybe a better word for it. Some

ladies do it for fun and swim in

their bathing costumes at this time

of the year. But I had the wet suit

on and it is still awful.

I will see

you on Saturday.

Sir Bruce: A Celebration

is on Sunday on BBC One and you can

see Catherine's programme Saving

the British Bulldog

on BBC One next Wednesday.

Tomorrow we'll be joined

by Hollywood star Susan Sarandon.

She is our third Oscar winner
