07/07/2017 The One Show

How do I turn an ordinary Friday into a really spectacular one? What

I need is a co-presenter. Someone unfunny, maybe Canadian, but not to

Canadian... Oh look there's

Katharine Ryan, get in! Thank you so much Kala Kala,

enjoy Pride this weekend. Welcome to the One Show

with Katharine Ryan. And look who we picked

up round the corner, everyone's favourite; the frequently

misspelled Mel Geidroyc! There we go. We have got three more

sisters with us. Performing for us later ST,

Danielle and Alana Hime! CHEERING

And if you haven't heard Haim before, this is what you can expect

later tonight. # Just know that I want you

# Just know that I want to you... #. How did your sisters treat you?

Extremely bossy! CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

A few men that. Sit down, well,! Listen, first things first, I hope

it's OK, Friday evening, I've got the sliders on, is that OK? Very big

thing these days. Yes, Stormzy. I have a pair, of course I have. They

are bejewelled. We saw an amazing picture of Catherine in a meeting,

it's worth sharing with you, you will love it! A sisters episode and

it turns out I am in the original Haim. It is like children's dynasty.

I don't get how it's weird, biggest hair equals best sister! Did you do

your hat was it like that? My mother forced a lot of things upon us on

this is one example. But it turned out OK, right? Yeah. We have an

update on the One Show mobile phone plan we have spoken about each week.

Yes, a Snapchat message has come in from "DD".

He says, "I chair political discussion programmes on the BBC

but my phone addiction is getting in the way of my work."

There was a fork in the road and we opted for one fork. Now we are all

going down that fork and it's time for bed... LAUGHTER

This is my stopwatch saying it's bedtime! It would have been amazing

if he got up and walked off. Got to respect the alarm. Details of the

phone plan will be revealed next Thursday. Our musical guest Haim are

celebrating their tenth anniversary today.

of our greatest artists, David Hockney, turns 80.

Andy has been to the great man's birthplace of Bradford to find

out how they are going to be celebrating.

In the R word it's the artist to make a difference, the interesting

things happen when they rip up the book. I voice had a bit of an

affinity with those mavericks and here in Bradford there is a local

artists keeping up that fine tradition of breaking all the rules.

These ambitious images are the work of Marcus Levine. Each one has been

made using nothing more than a hammer and nails, but can sell for

upwards of ?40,000. What is the attraction of using nails as a

medium? It just sort of came to me that actually, if I could use the

nails to describe the human body you would have the 11, this wow factor

of suddenly realising it was nails followed by the fact they are hard

and angular but probably soft and sinewy.

This is Al Pacino as Tony Montana in Scarface. Did Al Pacino ever get to

see the original sculpture customer yes, I said, just stand back for a

second, it's all done with nails. He went, that's amazing!

Markers can use up to 50,000 nails to create a single piece, and they

can weigh between 30-40 kg each. It's not for the faint hearted. He

has to wear protective goggles to shield him from any flying nails and

he does it all without gloves. My son, it hurts when I hit. Most of

the time I can just ignore the pain now. This thumb is basically dead to

the sensation. I would have to really smack it to stop working.

Next, Marcus has been commissioned to do a portrait of and closer to

home. I've been keeping it secret for over a year and finally I can

breathe a sigh of relief and say, it's a portrait of David Hockney.

David Hockney is one of the most influential artists alive today.

He's a Bradford boy, born and bred, and in order to celebrate his

upcoming 80th birthday, a local community group has asked Marcus to

create attribute of which the whole city can be proud. I wanted to take

parts of all of these different photos of Hockney to create what

looks like a Polaroid, which is a whole marsh to Hockney's work but

done in nails. The first coloured nail sculpture in the world, a

totally new technique I've created. As part of this new approach, Marcus

spray paints hundreds of nails at a time, to create different colour

effects in the finished work. Go on then, Andy. Am I having a go? Where

do I put it? In that same line there.

How about that? Not bad, not bad at all. You have a job!

The huge pieces being installed in the little Germany area of Bradford

and will be officially unveiled ahead of David's birthday this

Sunday. And it's not just a case of mailing it to the wall. With the

panels in place, it's possible to see the whole work come together for

the first time, and I'm not the only one who thinks he's nailed it! It's

very impressive, very impressive. Up until this moment, we didn't realise

it was made from nails. Absolutely brilliant for Bradford, this. But

there's one person just itching to see the finished thing. Are you

nervous? I am. Are you please? I am, best birthday present ever. Is it

your birthday today? Yes. Happy birthday! As you get underneath I

noticed the frame of his spectacles actually stand out. I'm still a bit

in shock, actually. I've never seen them all together. I have still got

goose bumps! That was amazing. Can't believe it,

never seen anything like that. And we should say happy birthday to

Katherine. Happy birthday this Sunday, David, but yes, I was born

once. This year my dad's card to me has kind of gone viral in the United

States, because he crosses out the passage he feels doesn't apply to

me. I love the spirit of you... He's crossed out the grace with which.

This about childhood wonder, not applicable to me. And most of all, a

load of stuff crossed out here about empathy and friendship. I guess it's

pretty clear I love... Almost crossed out everything about me.

Thanks, dad, thanks. Marvellous! I blame the state of parenting. Less

lines crossed out, you can work on it. Now, we have seen you are most

shows on BBC Mel. You and your sliders. Do you have chosen them?

No, but in the autumn I will be wearing these with a sock! Trendy,

Alex and Katherine. Am not sure. You can wear them on your new show

Letter Box because you are behind a podium. I did, every single time we

felt I was in these shoes behind the aforementioned Letter Box. That is

an exclusive here about Letter Box, which starts on the 17th of July on

BBC Two. Good. Tell us about it. It's basically a really fun and

addictive and fiendish. You don't have to be a massive old quiz head

to get involved. It's one of those shows. You have to try and guess

words to crack the aforementioned letterbox, which is an actual box

that has smoke coming out. When you win, smoke comes out and it rises up

like one of those old organs of old... LAUGHTER

Like people playing the piano and you crack the password. How would

you describe it in three words? Crack the password. Very good! I

have four words for you, let's have a look! No idea... Come on, come on,

come on! Can I have a N please? Have we got a letter end? Yes. Now,

Lydia. Two still to go. S, please. Have we got a S in this country? We

haven't. Vicky... Get the air in. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

It didn't tell us the answer! I think it was Jordan. You couldn't

give the answer, that was supposed to be a cliffhanger. You will host

this show! I never know what the words are going to be, they don't

tell me with the earpiece trickery so I can play along, much more fun.

Honestly, it gets so tense. We loved the contestants. Janet and Lydia are

the new Mel and Sue. They met and became firm friends through driving.

One of them was the instructor to the other and they became best

friends. I wouldn't... I wouldn't have made best friends with my

driving instructor, would you? Definitely not! Know. Let's do

favourite words. You have some weird ones. I like jiggery-pokery a lot. A

made up word. Not at all, I think it has a hyphen, under Ward

behaviour... Or if you are cheating. Your favourite letter? V. Mine as

well. Simple but enigmatic. Let's do least favourite word? Tissue. I

don't like it when people pronounce it tiss-oo. I'm having a funny

thing. I don't like moist. A big favour of hated words, an aversion

to words. Moist. Moist. Tiss-oo. A moist tissue. They sell tissues in

those packets. And another word, panites. I think we need to move on,

this is getting weird. Are you competitive by nature? Totally. With

games like Christmas. Sherrard 's, the hacked game and a totally.

That's the game, why a play otherwise? I am not competitive.

Argue not? Well, the question is ladies, thanks for prompting! How

competitive are you? Fancy having a game that playing Letter Box

Witherspoon? This is like we are on the real show! I have to get into

character. Can you serve them does not solve the mystery Word and crack

open the letterbox? Let's see... I Alex Jones you go first. Pick one

letter. If you get it wrong it goes to Katherine. I'll go for A. Have we

got an A here in the secret Letterbox? I'll go for an E, please.

Have we got an E... ? The hint is a strong title. Stays with Katherine.

An S, please. SFOR sugar. Yes. Yes! An R for Ronald.

She's on... F for flowers. No F. Back to you...

H! A tricky little letter. Yes. Well done!

Our house. Congratulations. Like Lydia and Janet. I didn't think

I was competitive, but I am. You have cracked open the Letterbox.

What's the prize? You can have a Slider! Victory and a Slider. They

don't suit my feet! Speaking of our house, our next film is about a make

over. If you have a scruffy neighbour in

your road, you will like this. Stunning end of bed property,

located in black heath, close to local amenities. I am sure this is

the street, but I can't seem to find it! Phil, over here, mate! Oh! So

this is the house I've come to see. All right! I knew it needed a little

bit of attention, but this is beyond a joke. You can't even see it. There

are overgrown trees, hedges and Ivy everywhere. I've got the keys. Let's

go and look. Here we are! Blimey! There's the kitchen. Crikey! It's

everywhere! There's the bathroom. It is even covering the windows and

it's coming inside. Here's the living room and there's the garden.

Or should I say "jungle! " This will be some job to clear thaul foliage.

So, Max, where do you start this sort of job? I am starting from the

ground and working my way up. A lot of growth in the brick work. Get the

growth out of the front taken away and work our way out of this. Does

overgrowth ruin a house? It does. It rips into the guttering and it can

cause serious damage. Ivy on brick walls in moderation can look

beautiful. It also has many other beneficial factors. It is a very

good insulating lawyer to keep the -- layer to keep the heat in. You

have to be careful and keep an eye on it. If you don't, the ivy reaches

the wooden parts of the house, be alert. So, Chris, you live next door

to the house, you must be delighted with the work going on. . It would

be nice to see sunshine for the first time in five years. How has it

affected your house and garden? It has been a problem with the ivy

taking over. Constantly clearing up leaves and the branches that fall

down. Did you know the previous owner? Yeah, I did. He was a bit of

a recluse, but sadly after Christmas he died. And now you are an estate

agent. Does it matter the state it is in, or is it all about location,

location, location? It is about what they have to spend on that to make

it liveable. It will be a lot of money.

Now, that looks like it's been there for years. You can see the damage

it's caused in the guttering at the top and into the lead roof over

there. Hopefully after pricing it away a bit it will start to go away

a bit. And hopefully the front of the house won't come down! Hopefully

not. The rest of the street have seen the cutting and trimming and

have taken an interest. What did you think of that lot? We didn't realise

it was a house when we first moved in. I am happy. It was getting

dangerous, branches would hit you in the face. This is it before the ivy

took over. Was it spooky when you walked past at night? Especially if

I was walking home at night-time. 20-plus years it has been like it.

We are all happy now. When I turned thup morning I knew it would be a

big job. Max and the boys have cracked on and it is amazing to see

the house coming back to live from under all that foliage.

Anded they den't get all -- and they didn't get all the ivy because there

were birdies in it. My daughter's favourite show is

Pitch Battle. What can we expect from this Saturday? This Saturday

will be intensely good. We have Seal! The artist? Is he

keeping it Seal! He is so Seal. What does that mean? I like to tell

people I am keeping it Seal! His hashtag is hashtagrealtalk. He is a

very, very good judge. It is on BBC One, Saturday, 7. 30pm, as always.

Let's see what we can look forward to.

# I never knew she could dance like this

# Speaks Spanish # Bonita

# Shakira # Shakira

# My head don't lie # Baby, let's go

# Real slow # Because baby this is per can

fecto! What's the favourite moment of the

series for you at the moment? Goodness! So many. Probably seeing

chukka chan coming on in the latter half of the show in a pair of

amazing, look at the E wok boots. Massive fur boots. Like half fancy

dress. I have never seen a boot as wide as that. Literally full fur,

sort of this wide. She came on... She can do it. She can pull it off.

You are obsessed with footwear, we have to say! I loved the episode

where you were beatboxing. I think you nailed it. Oh, dear! Oh, no!

Embarrassing! You said you fancied joining a Rock Choir. Will we see

you sing any time soon? I love the idea of being in a massive choir. I

love the idea of having a T-shirt that says the name of the choir. I

love that idea of belonging somewhere, with some people! I

genuinely do. I love being... Belonging! I love to be in a gang.

We hear you love Howard Jones. Ho-JO! A one-man band with spiky

hair supported by a crazy dancer wearing chains and not much else.

It sounds like a gimmick, performance art turned pop song, but

it took Howard Jones into the top ten and led to an international

career, with hits like What is Love. And like to get To Know You Well. If

he had taken his music teacher's criticism to heart here in High

Wycombe, it could have all turned out differently. They didn't want me

to music A level. I had long hair. I was a bit of a rebel. I didn't

really fit in. I did sciences instead. The great thing with that

is it made me more determined with my music. Despite the lack of

encouragement Howard studied music at college and started to perform

locally, funding it by working days in a factory. That's the factory I

worked in. I was rolling clingfilm every day into sheets. I was coming

home, recording all through the night. All the letters and demos I

sent out to people, I was getting rejections, hundreds. You keep

going. Did you tell your fellow workers what you were up to? I said

one day I will walk out of here and I will do my music and they kind of

humoured me and said, of course you will, Howard. One day, I did.

Finally getting record company interest, Howard started work on

what was to become New Song, inspired by his own struggles. I

used to come to the hill to reflect because it gave me perspective on

life. I am sure I was just about to get somewhere, you know. I wanted to

pour all that into the lyrics and say, I've been waiting for so long.

That is my sorry. That is my history. You know, I have been in

bands since I was 14. Got signed at 28. It all fits. I remember playing

it for the first time and my lovely, brilliant supporters they went

mental. I thought, this is going to be an important song for me. One of

Howard's supporters at the time, Jed, was instrumental in helping his

performances attract attention. Jed would dance in the audience,

amazingly. I couldn't keep my eyes off him. I had my own way of

interpreting what he was singing. People noticed it. That was the

point. I thought, this man belongs here with me. Let's do it. I loved

having Jed on stage with me. It was like a performance art thing. The

stage was covered with TV monitors, mannequins, which had names. It was

unpredictable, like, what's going to happen now? And what are those

chains about? What were they about He was imprisoned in his own mental

prison. And it really worked with the New Song lyrics. That was

brought into the video. The video very much was telling the story of

my journey, it started in the factory and then we went to a

school. I was on top of the desks, singing to the kids. Question what's

going on in your world. Think for yourself. When New Song was released

it was rocketed into the top ten following an appearance by Howard

and Jed on Top of the Pops. Jed worked with Howard for seven years

before they finally retired the costumes and the chains. Today,

Howard is back at his old school. He's come to perform for the pupils

and offer them advice. I used to attend this school. I then went on

to music college up in Manchester. When I came back to High Wycombe I

wanted to do my own music, so I came up with this idea for a song that

was about saying to people, don't be afraid to have a go.

# Coming now to sing this song. It may be a difficult journey and

you may have ups and downs on your way, but if you have something in

your heart unique to you, you have to go for it.

# Don't back up # See the sites

# Drive off your mental chains # Oh-oh-oh!

If that has whetted your appetite for music from Howard, like it has

Mel, a combination of his best hits will be released on 28th July. You

love Jed, chain man. Jed is the chain man. A whole education for us

on Howard Jones. You had never heard of Ho-JO! A big thank you to

Katherine for this evening. It has been lovely to have you. Have you

enjoyed? I always love The One Show. Back any day. Thank you to Mel.

Pitch Battle is on tomorrow at 7. 30pm on BBC One.

But now, with one taken from their album, Something To Tell You, out

today, it is the all-girl One Show and it is Hime.
