07/05/2013 The One Show

Our guest has a power. It turns out, he used to go by the nickname Mopsy.

Aaahhh. What a sweetie. Please, welcome Lord Alan Sugar. You were

such a cuty. My eldest sister gave me that name. I don't know why. I'll

take it up with her. Does she still call you Mopsy? She might do now

you've brought it up. Sorry about that. Sorry about that. It was the

mop of hair. Of course. Mum and dad in those days must have thought this

was quite a fashionable statement, with a mop of hair. I would agree

with them. You are very cute. A new reporter gets to make his first film

for us. Hugh Lawrie, on a man who changed the face of British music.

For the One Show? I know, things must have dried up! We'll talk about

that later on. First, Alan, you are a big fan of cycling and we know you

are paranoid about getting your bike stolen, so we think you're going to

like this next piece. Martin Bayfiled joins Bristol police force,

who are going above and beyond the call of duty to track down bike

thieves. It's estimated that one bike is stolen every minute in

England and Wales. With more and more of us choosing to cycle, bike

theft is a crime on the up. Here in Bristol, police have dramatically

reduced the number of bike thefts since they introduced the scheme to

catch the thieves red-handed. This is their secret weapon - a bait

bike. The police don't want to reveal too much, except it looks

like any other bike, but with one crucial difference, a GPS tracking

device attached, so if it's stolen the police can follow it. Bikes are

locked up in racks around the city and if simian does take the bait,

police will be watching and -- someone does take the bait, police

will be watching and filming. The police have used bait cars for

years, but now the technology has got smaller, they're using it for

bike theft. We need to identify the possible offenders for cycle thefts.

Today, I've come to join Avon and Somerset Police on one of their bait

bike operations, and after a quick briefing we activate the tracking

device on the bike. We can track it to a house, car park or any

building. It's put into position and locked by plain-clothes officers.

Then Mike and I go to the CCTV control room, where the team will be

keeping a close eye on the bike. Right behind us we have the scenes

and yourselves and the security, all working well together, is it work it

for a few bikes? I think it's definitely worth it. Bristol is a

cycling city. We need to serve the public and try to make them

reassured they can bring their bikes in and lock them up and be safe in

the knowledge they'll be there when they return. They won't fail to

notice this area is surrounded by cameras and yet they still have a

go. Does that sometimes amaze you? It amazes me, because it's well

known in this area there are cameras, but the people still take

the opportunity to steal bikes. They literally can't resist it. It might

scoundrelively trivial, but the bait bikes can lead police to serious

offenders, for whom bike theft is just one element. It's led to some

of the most prolific offenders, connected to burglaries and

robberies and sometimes cycle theft can be the tip of the iceberg that

sends them back to prison. We watch and wait in the CCTV control room.

It's not long before they spot someone acting suspiciously around

the bike rack. This is the beauty of this system. The guys are watching

and using all the cameras and keeping an eye on the suspect. He's

acting very specially. -- suspiciously. There's another team

of police officers on standby in a nearby car. We've had a call from

one of my colleagues about the bait bike and he's watched someone who

has paid a bit of attention to the bike and the way it's locked up, so

he's asked us to get in the area, because he has a feeling they might

be coming back. Finally, he makes his move. Here he goes. He has

snapped the lock right off and taken the bike and now he has got to be

tracked down, but they'll find him. The guards are hot on his heels, but

the thief is starting to get away. Going to us. He abandons the bike

and trying to escape on foot, but with the rest of the team waiting

ready in their positions, there's no hiding place for this bike thief.

you understand why you've been arrested? He's arrested and taken

back to the station for questioning. He dumped the bike, but you were

still able to track him down. had got away we would have been able

to track the bike if he didn't dumped it. He did, so we recovered

that anyway. We got images of him on CCT -- CCTV. The police may be

watching you and filming you wherever you go, so beware. I do

hope that wasn't Martin's bike. Matt said, you are very keen to

bike, aren't you? Yes.You go to extreme lengths to make sure nobody

manages to steal your bike. I have done. In America there's a

particular road that I ride on in Florida and sometimes one has to go

and have a bathroom break, as the Americans call it and this

particular place has a sign that says you cannot bring your bikes in.

I do. I bring it into the loo with me and one day the sheriff - isn't

Isn't it a bit tight in there? sheriff caught me and asked me if I

couldn't read. I said, " You have to understand this bike of mine is

worth quite a lot of money and if I left it outside it would be gone."

He said to me, " I'll look after it." Fair enough, I thought and the

next time I want to do a wee I'll make sure in you're around - yeah,

you have to be conscious because of a high-valued bike, but normally I'm

out with someone else so if we have to stop they look after it. Somebody

who is conscious of it is Alice here from Bike Works. We saw there in the

filming the trackers, but people can buy them. Yeah. There is this one

here, which is hidden in a bike light. That's about �100. It works

via a SIM card. You can see where it has gone. We tracked this bike

coming to the studio today. That's the route? Yep. Very good. Do you

fancy one of them? That's very, very interesting. They are good. Apart

from a GPS tracker or a sheriff that Lord Sugar has standing by, what

else can we all do to make sure the bikes are as safe as possible?

really important to take a photo to record and register your bike, so

you know what it is. It is also very important to lock it on to something

very secure and then most importantly, it's very important to

get a very, very good lock. We'll talk about the D locks, because you

have a small one, so it's not easy to get something many to prise it

off, but you put it somewhere specifically? You want to make sure

it's in the back triangle of the frame and you want to fill the air

as much as possible, so there's no possibility of anyone sticking a

pole in and popping it and also where possible, you want to secure

the front of the bike or the front wheel, or if you have a high-end

frame you want to make sure you have secured all the components. Thank

you. Now, we are not used to hearing stories of stockbrokers saving

lives, but in the 1930s, one man swapped trading commodities for

doing just that. Dan Snow has the amaze amazing story of Winton's

children. A moving story of Oskar Schindler, a German who saved

hundreds of Jews from the Nazi camps was made famous by the film,

Schindler's List, but here in Britain we have our own man. He is a

hero none the less and in fact he's right up here at Maidenhead station.

This is Nicholas Winton. In 1938, he was a 29-year-old London

stockbroker. But he became an organiser of kinder transport,

trains crossing Europe on the eve of war, carrying thousands of mainly

Jewish children, escaping the anti-Semitism sweeping through

Europe. A year before war broke out, Nicholas Winton took a trip to

Prague and realised that the Jews of Europe faced a terrible future. He

knew he had to act. The German Government permitted some children

to travel. Working from a hotel room in Prague and paying his own costs,

he secured the agreements he needed to bring children to Britain. By

March 1939 his first trains were ready to roll. A young Peter boarded

one of the first trains. This is an approved German pass. Did your

parents come to see you off at the station? They didn't weep. They

simply showed me off and they were cheerful. They made me believe that

I was going on a holiday to England. Two fellow passengers remember both

hostility and kindness on the journey. When we stopped in

nurnberg, the people who knew this was a train-load of mainly Jewish

children, I remember them shaking their fists at us. They couldn't get

at us. When we got to the Dutch border, on to the platform, came

women and children and the women were carrying big jugs of Coco. It

was wonderful. Tagged with numbers like their luggage, the children

arrived at Liverpool Street Station in London. Each one met by Nicholas

Winton. In all, 669 children were rescued and lived with British

families. Most of their parents perished in the death camps. But for

almost 50 years, Winton's achievement went unrecognised. Until

his wife stumbled across a scrapbook in the loft. It contained details of

every kinder transport child her husband had helped. The secret was

out and led to some very public reunions. Is there anyone in the

audience tonight who owes their life to Nicholas Winton? If so, could you

stand up, please? Excitingly, at grand, old age of 103, Nicholas is

still alive and well and Peter and I are off to see him now. We are now

meeting Sir Nicholas Winton. Hello. Do you enjoy meeting up with the

children people whose lives you changed so much? Yes, I'm still in

touch with a lot of them, which keeps me alive too. What were the

biggest problems to getting these people out? Getting permission from

the British government to accept children into this country. They had

no friends or grannors, so we had to guarantee that the children we

brought over had somebody who would temporarily adopt them. I and my

mother met them all. We were there at every train arrival. That must

have made all the bureaucracy and organisation worth well? Well, this

is -- worthwhile? Well, this is what makes it all worthwhile. Some of

great-great-grandparents. It was all a matter of luck, being in the right

place at the right time. How much a an impact did he have? My father was

killed on arrival in orb wits, so I was grateful to Sir Nicholas for my

existence and my survival. Does it give you satisfaction looking back

after all the years on what you achieved? Yes, it has. Yes. Thralls

satisfaction to look back on something that's good. That was an

enormous privilege to meet him and witness that conversation. He has

this incredible ability to make his heroism sound almost must be

mundane, but one things shines through and that's the huge

affection with which he's regarded Here is an angel. The fact there he

did not shout about it. It is unbelievable! Your search for a new

apprentice starts tonight and the candidates are having to be up

front about their business plans. Do you have much of a say in those

businesses? Obviously, the audition process starts off with thousands

of people applying. You can imagine. The production company Whittle's

them down to 100 or so. Then I would have a look through the CVs

on paper of some of the people. Sometimes they show you clips of

them. The most important thing is that I don't have an opinion about

the business these people want to go into. They are going to run the

business. I am not going to do it. I am going to be there as a mentor.

I do not have particular... It is them you are interested in.

their business plan. Of the 16 of them, I would have reviewed their

business plan in a miniscule manner. Certain businesses I would not want

to be involved in and they would not get in the process. What types

of business would they be? this.com rubbish. It did catch up

on but it will not catch on any more. People inspiring to be

another Lord gates and so on. I have a quick look at the plans. I

do not dive into them until we get later into the process. They were

arguing that match from the start. It is all right. I need to speak to

them. I said it seven times. are you shouting? Ring them back.

They are a great bunch. Some really strong characters in at. They

create the tension. -- in there. A lot of people say, is it really

business? You must understand there is a to London �50,000 pot of gold

at the end of this. -- to lead and �50,000. Make sure they sat in the

running. You have been dragged through the courts by Stella

English. Do you ever think to yourself, I need to keep my head

down and not get involved? That is a separate issue. I do not agree

with this claim culture and I was going to stand up to it. I am sick

and tired of people who tried to abuse the system in attacking a

high-profile individual - especially the ambulance-chasing

lawyers they employed who believe there is a big payout at the end

because the person is not going to go to court. They did not think I

would go to court. She is a one-off. 160 people have come into my

boardroom over the last eight years. You always get one bad apple, I

suppose. It does not put the off at all. The Apprentice starts tonight

on BBC One at 9pm and the second episode is on tomorrow night at the

same time. It's been a glorious bank holiday for most of us but,

for three budding entrepreneurs, it has been a nervous one. In honour

of The Apprentice, we followed two start up businesses as they tried

to make the most of the weekend trade. Shamin Bangi and Tony had

just given up their 9-5 jobs to sell bucket loads of jerk chicken.

-- Sharlene. We wanted to create an experience. 23-year-old Cesar

already has a failed business behind him but now he is trying

Again by making and selling his own gourmet ice lollies. My last

experience was at Easter and it was snowing. I sold tend lollies and

people were laughing. It was tough. We are following them as they tried

to make the most of the promised good weather over the bank holiday

weekend. We're up a bit behind time. Because of the weather, I would

anticipate the football would be lower. -- suit for. Plenty. But no

takers. I always feel slightly nervous at the start. This is for

real. Thankfully, both the chicken and lollies are soon in demand.

Everybody came at once. We were not really expecting it. We're trying

to catch up. I feel like I need an extra pair of hands. We have sold

more in half an hour and we sold the whole of the Easter weekend in

March. By mid- afternoon, it is clear it will be a good day. It was

nice. Very good value. I really enjoy debt. Really nice.I did want

the ginger one and he had sold out that... Do they have enough stock

to satisfy demand? I feel like we should have brought more stock. If

we sell out, that is good but we lose out on money. I am thinking of

calling my mum to censor more down in the cab. I think I could sell

out about an hour before. The cab will be there in five minutes. Send

four of each. They have taken the risk of a betting more stock later

in the day but Sharlene has sold her last lunch. The delivery I

received added on an extra 100 quid profit. I do regret not making the

court earlier. I have not completely sold out but I am happy

with what I have sold. We could have had a few more hours trading.

That is disappointing. Next time we will come with double the amount

and make double the money. It is just like the Apprentice. Very

tense! Dave, could you send in the entrepreneurs, please? OK. Lord

Good evening. It was quite a successful bank holiday. It is time

to see how they got on over the bank holiday weekend. Shall I

start? Sharlene and Tony - takings of �256. That is a profit of �178.

Buried it. And Cesar, takings 1495. -- ferry pitbull stub a profit of

�900. -- very good. I understand that yours was the ice lollies.

You'll think was the chicken stuff. -- your thing. Do not be

demoralised. I think he had a bit of luck because it was a sunny day.

You have more of longevity in the opera that. You both have very good

ideas. I have been working on some alcoholic recipes that I hope will

be seen in nightclubs all year round, hopefully. You have to

accept it is very seasonal. That is all we have got time for. Well

done! By day, he's a Golden Globe winning actor but, by night, he

likes nothing more than bringing down the house, singing music from

America's Deep South. He is our new member of The One Show family. Hugh

Laurie meets the man who first introduced Britain to the Blues.

For the last 30 years, I have supported myself by pretending to

be other people. English toffs, thanks, clowns, other English toffs.

All that time, I have been nurturing a secret which I confess

to you now. My name is Hugh Laurie and I love the blues. Back in the

1950s, very few people in this country had heard of blues music.

One Englishman knew what we were missing and decided to change that.

In so doing, he changed my life and probably yours as well. He changed

the course of popular music. He is a real hero of mine and I'm lucky

enough to have the chance to meet him at Abbey Road studios for the

one share. I am about to meet the trombone legend, Chris Barber. Your

father was a violinist. He bought me a fiddle - a child sized one

when I was seven. I had violin lessons at school. You got your

first trombone much later. I had heard some jazz on the radio. I

began to be interested. One day I saw a sign in at a record shop - a

poster saying there would be a jazz concert. I never thought that what

I read and heard that anyone would play it. It was across the ocean.

Or Mars! I walked down the aisle to get this thing and there was this

music. Chris Barber introduced a wave of American blues performers

to this country who had a massive influence on those lucky enough to

see them. When you brought over these extraordinary legends, what

was the reaction of the audience? They left it. I was surprised. The

strength of acceptance. There was a love for it immediately. The sound

was amazing. We were determined to do all we could to get the music

accepted at all in the first place. To get it understood and loved by

more people. Basically, it inspired a generation of British bands who

would go on to conquer the world. The music I play on my own records,

yes, I had to get that in summer, has been directly influenced by

Chris Barber and the artists he brought this country. -- to this

You are in this extraordinary position of brokering these talents

going backwards and forwards across the Atlantic. Did you feel like a

man on a mission? It was about taking the music seriously and

How about that! Thanks to Hugh and the legendary Chris Barber. I
