:00:00. > :00:11.Tonight on the One Show we give you something completely different.
:00:12. > :00:14.We've got one of the most famous TV theme tunes ever.
:00:15. > :00:17.We're very well equipped with large quantities of tinned meat.
:00:18. > :00:20.And an exotic bird which, by the looks of it,
:00:21. > :00:38.is well past its sell-by date. What can it all mean?
:00:39. > :00:41.Welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker.
:00:42. > :00:44.And Alex Jones. And yes, Monty Python are back
:00:45. > :00:45.and performing live to tens of thousands of adoring fans.
:00:46. > :01:02.Mind you, not everyone's impressed. A bunch of wrinkly old men trying to
:01:03. > :01:08.relive their youth. Back in the 1970s it was fantastic.
:01:09. > :01:19.We have seen it all before. Please welcome Michael Palin and
:01:20. > :01:29.Terry Jones. Welcome. We saw Mick Jagger there. In your opinion who is
:01:30. > :01:37.the most rock and roll, the Rolling Stones or Monte Python? It has to be
:01:38. > :01:45.the Rolling Stones. But performing at the O2 feels like comedy rock and
:01:46. > :01:53.roll. You do sketches about arguments and with the lights and
:01:54. > :01:59.the crowds are you break into sound. You have all come back together to
:02:00. > :02:09.do this. How rock and roll do you get after the show, what is the
:02:10. > :02:18.after show party like? Nothing! Straight back to the care home! Do
:02:19. > :02:28.you have some drinks? We have some peanuts. One glass of white wine. I
:02:29. > :02:35.have about three. It is friendly, lots of friends, long. Eddie Isard
:02:36. > :02:47.has come about three times. We do have celebrity guest. People like
:02:48. > :02:51.Matt Lucas. So it is sociable. You have done five out of the ten
:02:52. > :02:57.shows. You have proved that you can get up there and do the whole thing.
:02:58. > :03:09.All the senior moments you have had, do you have one that stands out?
:03:10. > :03:17.John forgot the lines. Yes. He came up with a strange line about a
:03:18. > :03:24.hard-boiled twig. And then he dried up and looked around desperately and
:03:25. > :03:34.nobody knew what to say. Then we all got the next bit wrong. The audience
:03:35. > :03:39.loved that! I bet they love this bit, this is a fantastic senior
:03:40. > :03:45.moment. We watched to see photographs of the
:03:46. > :03:51.more experienced One Show viewers doing things that maybe they should
:03:52. > :03:55.not be doing at their age. Send them into the usual address and we will
:03:56. > :04:05.show them later in the show. Keep them clean! Well we know that
:04:06. > :04:10.Pythons also appreciate the floral arts. Three months ago we launched a
:04:11. > :04:16.competition for amateur gardeners with a special prize. The chance to
:04:17. > :04:24.design a garden at the Hampton Court flower show. Angelica can tell us
:04:25. > :04:30.more. Welcome to the largest annual flower show in the world. I'm here
:04:31. > :04:35.at Hampton Court in West London, the former home of King Henry VIII.
:04:36. > :04:38.Today an explosion of colour and imagination. You can come along and
:04:39. > :04:45.see some wonderful gardens designed by some of the best professional
:04:46. > :04:51.gardeners. But I'm joined by the brilliant amateur Alexandra Noble.
:04:52. > :04:55.She went through the gruelling process to win the garden design
:04:56. > :05:01.competition with this design, inspired by the city of Bath. This
:05:02. > :05:09.image has been transformed into a reality.
:05:10. > :05:16.I cannot wait to see it. All to be revealed later. Now onto the acute
:05:17. > :05:22.shortage of nurses in many UK hospitals. Many trusts say they are
:05:23. > :05:25.forced to recruit from abroad. What is it like for a foreign nurse
:05:26. > :05:34.coming into the NHS and for the patients they looked after?
:05:35. > :05:43.Good afternoon. Welcome to Leicester. It may be your typical
:05:44. > :05:50.English weather but this is not your typical city tour and these are not
:05:51. > :05:58.typical sightseers. I hope it will be better in the
:05:59. > :06:01.summer. These are nurses who have just
:06:02. > :06:06.arrived from Spain, Portugal and Ireland on a very rainy tour of
:06:07. > :06:11.Leicester, their new home for the foreseeable future.
:06:12. > :06:16.Why are they here? There is a national nursing shortage. This
:06:17. > :06:21.recruitment drive is happening not just in Leicester. At least one
:06:22. > :06:25.third of hospital trusts in England struggle to keep the wards
:06:26. > :06:31.adequately staffed. In 2009 the NHS had to make cutbacks of 20 Berlin
:06:32. > :06:37.pounds. That means England is short of 20,000 nurses and with jobs hard
:06:38. > :06:45.to come by at home these 15 nurses at only too pleased to be here.
:06:46. > :06:54.I feel very happy. It is a great opportunity. So far I like it and I
:06:55. > :07:00.am excited to start work. To have permanent work is unbelievable.
:07:01. > :07:05.Chief nurse Rachel is responsible for around 4000 nurses across three
:07:06. > :07:12.hospitals in Leicester where they are spending ?6 million on hiring
:07:13. > :07:16.300 nurses from abroad. Thank you for meeting with me.
:07:17. > :07:22.Either minimum requirements that the nurses must have in terms of
:07:23. > :07:28.training and experience? The nursing qualification is broadly the same as
:07:29. > :07:31.ours. These nurses are just about to start two months of training to help
:07:32. > :07:39.them understand British nursing practices and adapt to cultural
:07:40. > :07:46.differences. It is my first job, I am newly graduated. I feel nervous,
:07:47. > :07:55.it is another language. It is difficult.
:07:56. > :07:59.I had to leave my country for another culture and another way of
:08:00. > :08:14.working. It is an opportunity to grow as a person.
:08:15. > :08:27.I decided to come here. I was doing research about Leicester and I think
:08:28. > :08:31.it is really good. It is good to travel and stuff. 150 nurses from
:08:32. > :08:37.Spain, Portugal, Greece and the Irish Republic have already joined
:08:38. > :08:43.Leicester 's hospitals since the of the year with plans for 200 more
:08:44. > :08:48.next year. Portuguese nurses have been working on the acute medical
:08:49. > :08:55.ward since February. How are you getting on with Mac OK.
:08:56. > :09:03.What brought you here? The opportunity of work. The situation
:09:04. > :09:11.back in Portugal is not as good as here in England. And the pay is very
:09:12. > :09:17.much better than Portugal. Three times what I was earning. What is
:09:18. > :09:28.the most difficult thing about coming here as an overseas nurse?
:09:29. > :09:32.The weather! I do not need to say I'm not English because they all
:09:33. > :09:41.know. But they're quite receptive of us. And it is an icebreaker.
:09:42. > :09:45.Culturally some of the English language colloquialisms, it is
:09:46. > :09:50.important to help with that. One nurse did not understand pins and
:09:51. > :09:55.needles. So there is always a British national nurse working
:09:56. > :10:01.closely with them. How do the patients feel about the new
:10:02. > :10:09.interns? One of the nurses looking after due is from Portugal. It is
:10:10. > :10:17.great. He speaks very good English. He has come for job opportunities.
:10:18. > :10:26.We get on fine. If you need anything, call me. Take care.
:10:27. > :10:29.The Department of Health said there is an increase in nurses on the
:10:30. > :10:36.wards and while British nurses are being trained up to fill both posts,
:10:37. > :10:41.NHS trusts can recruit from abroad. Python fans will be delighted to
:10:42. > :10:55.hear that there is still a chance to see the final hurrah. We still have
:10:56. > :11:04.some tickets available. You're quite sketchy on the details! The local
:11:05. > :11:08.corner shop! We here at the have been some extra tickets. There are
:11:09. > :11:15.still some available for the last five shows.
:11:16. > :11:24.Looking at the arena feeling, can it still be quite intimate? Yes. We go
:11:25. > :11:37.out on the stage and there is a huge roar from the audience. There is a
:11:38. > :11:41.lot of dancing and lots going on. The quieter sketches, I was
:11:42. > :11:49.concerned that they would be overwhelmed. But the audience to
:11:50. > :11:57.listen, they are terrific. You can invent a line and hear the reaction.
:11:58. > :12:04.Which we do quite a lot! And the good news is that fans can see the
:12:05. > :12:10.whole performance in the cinema. All over the world, apparently. There is
:12:11. > :12:17.even at cinema in Yemen. That is the one my family will be going to! That
:12:18. > :12:23.could help you out a little later on, is something that we have got
:12:24. > :12:29.planned. We went to meet some very naughty boys.
:12:30. > :12:36.What is it about Monty Python that makes grown men lose the plot? I
:12:37. > :12:43.have come to their show to find out. Michael Palin is the best of them
:12:44. > :12:50.all. You're slightly menacing!
:12:51. > :13:07.It has to be John Cleese. Say no more!
:13:08. > :13:14.Are you a brain surgeon? Yes, I am! You have got yourself a job! People
:13:15. > :13:24.are really getting into the spirit. Is this a family? It is. Two of our
:13:25. > :13:40.sons. I feel slightly sorry for you!
:13:41. > :13:47.Imagine someone from outer space coming to this wonderful land and
:13:48. > :13:54.seeing that! Such a compliment. We thought we would do a quickfire
:13:55. > :14:00.round to get the inside track. Which Monte Pythons most likely to...
:14:01. > :14:09.Quiz-mac ready? The first, which is most likely to spend his part of the
:14:10. > :14:15.money made on the show first? John Cleese.
:14:16. > :14:26.To need oxygen at the end of the 10th performance? John Cleese. Storm
:14:27. > :14:37.off in a huff? John Cleese. For more trip? That is me. Mess up a costume
:14:38. > :14:44.change? That could be me again. With the Spanish Inquisition, I only just
:14:45. > :14:54.made it. To purchase their own merchandise? I do not think any of
:14:55. > :14:58.us would do that. Terry, perhaps because he designed a lot of it.
:14:59. > :15:15.Which will have the most successful next chapter? Graham. He is a real
:15:16. > :15:27.presence on the show. And read John Cleese?s autobiography? John
:15:28. > :15:34.Cleese! We will go back to Angellica at Hampton Court to see are one show
:15:35. > :15:39.-- to see the the One Show Garden design in all its glory.
:15:40. > :15:44.The challenge was to design a garden which reflected the character offer
:15:45. > :15:48.you live in UK all for the Hampton Court Flower Show. It is only days
:15:49. > :15:53.away and the exhibits are working really hard to make sure that the
:15:54. > :16:01.gardens are looking spectacular. The real question is, will the the One
:16:02. > :16:06.Show Garden be ready on time? Alexandra Noble is from Bath and her
:16:07. > :16:14.winning design has a Roman Bath theme. I wasn't convinced that the
:16:15. > :16:22.design was truly representative of Bath. I think a couple of Roman
:16:23. > :16:30.columns would help. I am not convinced. It is meant to be more
:16:31. > :16:36.abstract than that. I still have concerns but I will just have to
:16:37. > :16:40.wait until I see it. Before any planting could start, a lot of
:16:41. > :16:43.building work had to be done. With just three weeks before the start of
:16:44. > :16:49.the world's largest annual flower show, work started on transforming
:16:50. > :16:53.this patch of land into Alexandra's garden. Her mental was on hand when
:16:54. > :17:03.she saw the plot for the first time. -- her mentors. It looks so good,
:17:04. > :17:08.incredible. So nice. You are gobsmacked. I feel quite lost for
:17:09. > :17:13.words. Her design will use an array of grasses and plans bursting out
:17:14. > :17:17.from Roman style square pools and past. There is one thing the
:17:18. > :17:25.landscapers have done she is not happy with - the paint. Is it to
:17:26. > :17:32.paint? I was hoping for a charcoal grey. Do you remember the effort we
:17:33. > :17:43.went to with the colour charts? Unbelievable!
:17:44. > :17:47.Just days before the flower festival opens, the grounds of Hampton Court
:17:48. > :18:00.Palace are buzzing with teams of gardeners. Time for me to find
:18:01. > :18:04.Alexandra and take my first look at the One Show Garden. How is it
:18:05. > :18:08.going? Really well. Love the pastel colours. We are putting in
:18:09. > :18:14.continuation plans at the moment and then we have some little features to
:18:15. > :18:20.go in last, which will provide the highlights at the end. With this
:18:21. > :18:24.competition, I have had this one shot and it needs to be perfect.
:18:25. > :18:30.There is still a lot of work to do but it is getting there. The walls
:18:31. > :18:39.were terracotta at one point, that was an issue. It tells it in and the
:18:40. > :18:53.gravel comes in and brings it together. You will be thinking about
:18:54. > :18:57.a bath. I hope so. What a fantastic achievement for Alexander. This
:18:58. > :19:03.novice or have her garden is seen by thousands of shoe was a truth at
:19:04. > :19:09.Hampton Court. Any nerves? A little bit, just to see how people will
:19:10. > :19:18.react. I do not know what to expect. I am keen to get feedback from
:19:19. > :19:24.experts like you. You will get that. Keep up the good work, I think you
:19:25. > :19:30.are onto a winner. Preparation time is over for Alexandra. It is time
:19:31. > :19:35.for the One Show Garden to be revealed in all its glory.
:19:36. > :19:40.Here it is, and what a beautiful sight. You must feel so proud? I am
:19:41. > :19:48.so pleased with how it has turned out. It is all I envisaged, and
:19:49. > :19:52.more. What do you love best? I love the reflections. Because we have
:19:53. > :19:59.tainted the water Black, we have got the striking silhouette reflected in
:20:00. > :20:03.the water. There are some sections where you can see steam. You would
:20:04. > :20:09.not normally see that in the garden, why did you put that in? It is to
:20:10. > :20:13.add a little bit of drama to the show garden, to draw visitors in and
:20:14. > :20:19.heighten the feeling of excitement as we go around. Is there anything
:20:20. > :20:24.that you wish you had not done? Not really with this garden. If I had
:20:25. > :20:30.the chance to do another I would experiment a little bit more, adding
:20:31. > :20:35.some seating, putting in some shade so there was more of a difference as
:20:36. > :20:39.you go around. You were the judge, you have been mentoring her, what
:20:40. > :20:45.has been the hardest thing? It has been quite easy. The initial bit,
:20:46. > :20:50.from changing it from the beautiful design into the show garden, they
:20:51. > :20:55.are a different thing, so we introduced some gravel and played
:20:56. > :21:00.with the plant list to adjust it to suit the time of year. Has it been
:21:01. > :21:04.difficult working with an amateur because you are used to
:21:05. > :21:08.professionals? She is quite a knowledgeable amateur. The best that
:21:09. > :21:14.has been taking her on a journey with the plans. That is where you
:21:15. > :21:21.have started to get the plans, that has been, wow. Is this your new
:21:22. > :21:27.calling? I have had the time of my life over the past two weeks.
:21:28. > :21:30.Congratulations. The Hampton Court Flower Show is open to everyone from
:21:31. > :21:36.tomorrow. Well done, Alexandra. It is lovely,
:21:37. > :21:45.isn't it? Really nice flowers. And it is going to Bath, apparently. The
:21:46. > :21:49.Pythons comedy has gone all over the world and in Germany in 1971, a TV
:21:50. > :22:03.company asked them to make a version in German.
:22:04. > :22:11.SPEAKS GERMAN. Impressive! Your German adventurers
:22:12. > :22:16.have inspired our next item. We are going to show you a few extracts
:22:17. > :22:22.from classic Python sketches, but they are not in English. The idea is
:22:23. > :22:30.you have got to guess the sketch and then guess what language it is. I am
:22:31. > :23:13.very excited. Ready? It is like being at school. Can we have the
:23:14. > :23:22.first sketch, please. SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
:23:23. > :23:27.Lets see if you are right. Have you got anything without spam
:23:28. > :23:37.in it? I do not want any spam. Why can't she have egg, Bacon, spam and
:23:38. > :23:58.sausage? It was Spam. You went for finish for
:23:59. > :24:06.the language. -- Finnish. We respect Cornish. -- we were speaking
:24:07. > :24:19.Cornish. Lets have the second sketch.
:24:20. > :24:38.SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE. Not Cornish. What sketch? Quite
:24:39. > :24:47.difficult. Could be anything. A fierce argument, does that help?
:24:48. > :24:52.Let's see which one it was. I will wake it up. Hello, Polly, I have got
:24:53. > :25:00.a nice cuttlefish for you when you wake up, Polly parrot. He moved.
:25:01. > :25:14.That was you pushing the cage. Hello, Polly!
:25:15. > :25:27.What will you go with? Mandarin. It was Taiwanese. I want to learn that
:25:28. > :25:44.later because I can confuse John onstage. You can take the cage away
:25:45. > :26:15.and we will have the next sketch. SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE.
:26:16. > :26:28.APPLAUSE. I have seen it three times and I
:26:29. > :26:39.still have no idea. There was a word that might lead you? No, can't think
:26:40. > :26:45.of it. Let's see what sketch it was. What on earth does that mean? I did
:26:46. > :26:56.not expect that kind of Spanish Inquisition. Nobody expects the
:26:57. > :27:11.Spanish Inquisition! Well done. And the language? Xhosa.
:27:12. > :27:21.Michael, you have spoken in this language. In South Africa I was
:27:22. > :27:27.given a traditional Xhosa welcome. Cheers, guys, thank you very much.
:27:28. > :27:35.It was almost like watching the real thing. They do it much better than
:27:36. > :27:40.we do. Thank you to everyone who sent in a picture of the more mature
:27:41. > :27:49.programmatic viewer getting up to things they should not be doing. It
:27:50. > :27:53.sounds like the Royal British Legion Band and Corps of Drums have some
:27:54. > :28:01.suitable music for us. You can go first, Michael. Grandma Sandy from
:28:02. > :28:16.Kent Pole dance thing for her 71st birthday. -- thing. This is amazing.
:28:17. > :28:24.This is Ruth enjoying a tray of tequila shot at her 90th birthday
:28:25. > :28:31.party. This is Alan Jones, not my dad, from Shropshire. He is enjoying
:28:32. > :28:36.a night out at the Rocky Horror Show. Finally, Mary from Matlock
:28:37. > :28:41.says, should I be doing this at 56? You can find out tomorrow because
:28:42. > :28:45.that is all we have got time for this evening. Thank you, Michael and
:28:46. > :28:49.Terry. You can see the Pythons at the O2 from 15th July two 20th July
:28:50. > :28:53.and the final show is being broadcast live at cinemas across the
:28:54. > :28:59.country. If you want more of Angellica she is back on BBC One in
:29:00. > :29:02.a couple of minutes with How Safe Is Your House?
