:00:23. > :00:28.They are already at it. Hello friends, welcome to The One Show.
:00:28. > :00:38.Tonight we will be unveiling one of the big stars of Strictly Come
:00:38. > :00:45.Dancing 2012, Tom Jones. Tom, it's not you. Rob Brydon.
:00:45. > :00:53.no, not me. No, it's not you. But it is the person sat in that
:00:53. > :01:02.glitter ball chair. That is the right shot, we are
:01:02. > :01:09.supposed to be not revealing him. They look like a man's legs to me,
:01:09. > :01:13.so it's definitely a him. haven't been asked to do it, have
:01:13. > :01:21.you? I have been asked to do it, but it is a medical impossibility
:01:21. > :01:30.for me. Have you had the request? Yes. You should do it Rob. You are
:01:30. > :01:40.very Welsh tonight. Tom you should do it as well. Can you dance, Tom?
:01:40. > :01:40.
:01:40. > :01:45.Tom Jones. Well, yes, but I think it's too, it's hard work, isn't it.
:01:45. > :01:49.Tom is a very natural, senseual mover, but when it comes to actual
:01:49. > :01:59.dancing, that is a whole different thing. We can give you another clue
:01:59. > :02:06.to our secret strictly star. He has this many children. We can confirm
:02:06. > :02:12.they had twins and recently had their first day at school. Like
:02:12. > :02:18.these these quauds from China! Their parents shaved their heads so
:02:18. > :02:22.the teachers would know which one is which. That's not on. They look
:02:22. > :02:28.happy happy in the picture. They are unlikely to forget their first
:02:28. > :02:33.day at school. Do you remember yours?
:02:33. > :02:37.My first day at school, it is a long time ago. I remember kicking
:02:37. > :02:45.my teacher because I wanted to go home. New dress, new shoes.
:02:45. > :02:50.smells and the excitement. Fantastic. I remember my first day
:02:50. > :02:55.at school, 1991. I had a new school and a new teacher. She was a very
:02:55. > :02:59.firm, strict lady. My mum wanted to know if she could put my tie on
:02:59. > :03:03.elastic because I couldn't tie a tie, being only seven-years-old.
:03:03. > :03:13.Her answer was no, most certainly not. We are expect the children to
:03:13. > :03:15.
:03:15. > :03:22.be independent here at this school. My first day at school was an
:03:22. > :03:30.unusual one. The time was September 1940, war had been in progress. We
:03:30. > :03:36.are told to assemble outside the St George Monarch's grammar school. We
:03:36. > :03:41.were being evacuated. We went by train to Herefordshire. It was so
:03:41. > :03:44.unusual for us to be in the countryside, having been townies in
:03:44. > :03:54.the East End of London and we found we had a much more freedom than you
:03:54. > :03:55.
:03:55. > :03:59.would have done in town. My first day was in 1968. We had fish at
:03:59. > :04:03.lunch-time, always had school dinners, and I got a bone stuck in
:04:03. > :04:07.my throat. To this day I don't eat fish because of that. The
:04:08. > :04:15.headmistress lived in the house attached to the school, and so she
:04:16. > :04:20.took me round and gave me chocolate cake to make it better. Can you
:04:20. > :04:27.remember yours? Not the first day. I can't remember many of the days.
:04:27. > :04:31.Not surprising. Let's talk about your new album,
:04:31. > :04:38.Spirit In The Room. A mixture of classics, a lot 6 covers but a few
:04:38. > :04:42.originals as well. Yes. We tried to do an album of songs that were
:04:42. > :04:46.written by song writers that I like. You have done so many albums. Do
:04:46. > :04:53.you have to have a meeting with pals or colleagues and say what are
:04:53. > :05:00.we going to do on this one. Yes, it all depends who is producing it.
:05:00. > :05:05.Now it is Ethan Jones, so he did Spirit In The Room. We get together
:05:05. > :05:09.and talk about what songs, but sometimes we take it one at a time.
:05:10. > :05:17.We can record a couple and then think about what is going to be
:05:17. > :05:27.three and try things out. Still fun, always fun? Always. All the reviews
:05:27. > :05:31.are positive. Yes. Don't sound so surprised. You know what I mean,
:05:32. > :05:36.Tom. We are going to ask Rob whether you could review the album.
:05:36. > :05:45.Five stars. I am a massive fan of Tom's. I love this. It is all
:05:45. > :05:50.stripped back. It is softer. There is a Paul McCartney song called I
:05:50. > :05:55.Want To go Home. He sings it softly. It is fantastic. I am not just
:05:55. > :06:02.saying that because he is here. are going to play a bit of the
:06:02. > :06:06.Leonard Cohen song. I like Leonard Cohen so there was, we listened to
:06:06. > :06:13.what he had written and when I really listened to that, I thought
:06:13. > :06:18.this song could be about me. Because it opens up, my friends are
:06:18. > :06:23.gone and my hair is grey. Your friends are still here. It talks
:06:23. > :06:29.about having the gift of a voice. Yes, a line is I was born like this,
:06:29. > :06:34.a born with a gift of a golden voice. He's talked the clip we are
:06:34. > :06:37.going to play. # I was born like this, I had no
:06:37. > :06:45.choice # I was born with a gift of a
:06:45. > :06:51.golden voice # And 27 angels from the great
:06:51. > :07:01.beyond # They tied me to the stage right
:07:01. > :07:01.
:07:01. > :07:10.here in the Tower of Song. Very stark. Is that why you chose
:07:10. > :07:19.that stark set? Exactly, we tried to do the video that would go with
:07:19. > :07:23.the song. To try and capture it as best we could. It's beautiful.
:07:23. > :07:28.think it looks good. It sounds great to start with and I think it
:07:28. > :07:34.looks great as well. Rob, you are not here as Tom's side kick. We
:07:34. > :07:42.will talk about your play later on. But you do do an impression of Tom.
:07:42. > :07:50.All based on the cough. I don't don't like to do it. Oh, please.
:07:50. > :07:58.It's basically, the cough and also just the way he talks, because he
:07:58. > :08:07.always pauses and he puts an odd stress on on words. Where there is
:08:07. > :08:14.no need. There is always an need. It's phrasing. That's right. What
:08:14. > :08:21.we thought we would do, we would see whether the secret Strictly
:08:21. > :08:27.star, he's still here, are you sure that is the right camera shot.
:08:27. > :08:37.We thought whether he he could guess which someone the real Tom
:08:37. > :08:39.
:08:39. > :08:48.Jones. Purely from the cough. Are you ready secret Strictly star.
:08:48. > :08:58.Number one, we will have your cough first And number 2. (They cough.
:08:58. > :09:03.
:09:03. > :09:10.Is it number or one or two? One. -- 2.
:09:10. > :09:14.I hope his dancing is better than his cough impression.
:09:14. > :09:21.His cough recognition was very disappointing. You could be a
:09:21. > :09:29.double act. Here is a bit of special online
:09:29. > :09:38.promo. There is a Spirit In The Room. Does
:09:38. > :09:44.the letter G -- forget that, the letter H, no, J, the letter J
:09:44. > :09:48.Jessie J She is still alive Tom. A white suit, sideburns, dark hair,
:09:48. > :09:54.big collar, shaky leg. Elvis Presley, we were big friends, we
:09:54. > :09:58.used to sing together, gospel songs, we used to do amazing grace.
:09:58. > :10:02.Let me stop you there, he doesn't want you to sing, he has two
:10:02. > :10:12.messages. He says, stop the name dropping, and take something for
:10:12. > :10:18.
:10:18. > :10:22.What did you think of Tom's comic acting? Fantastic. You have done
:10:22. > :10:27.stuff, it is silly to say what you think about t you have done stuff
:10:27. > :10:37.with Peter sell ask, Bob Hope, you have worked with everybody. In all
:10:37. > :10:37.
:10:37. > :10:40.sorts of sketches. Yes, exactly. Are you doing it on purpose?
:10:40. > :10:50.When did you start with the clearing of the throat.
:10:50. > :10:54.#Colour#Blue It is my chest. Being a fan I would watch interviews and
:10:54. > :10:59.stuff and we are both from South Wales, but I would always notice
:10:59. > :11:05.the cough. Did you notice it before he pointed it out to the whole
:11:06. > :11:14.world? Not really! It is very important to clear your
:11:14. > :11:24.throat, to cough, because if you don't, you wreck your vocal chords.
:11:24. > :11:26.
:11:26. > :11:30.Someone told me that. You never do what you do. It's worked for you.
:11:30. > :11:33.We're all right. With two days to go the British
:11:34. > :11:43.Paralympians have smashed their medal targets. Let's have a round
:11:43. > :11:50.of applause for that. Joe Crowley met one young man who
:11:50. > :11:54.had had enough. 16-year-old Joel Connor-Saunders
:11:54. > :11:58.has cerebral palsy. Despite wanting to be involved in sport he found
:11:58. > :12:05.himself sidelined from most PE activities at school. I went to the
:12:05. > :12:10.first basketball lesson of the year and the teacher said, no, we can't
:12:10. > :12:15.have you, you can't run round with the able-bodied kids. Not only are
:12:15. > :12:25.you at risk, but they are at risk because you are in a wheelchair.
:12:25. > :12:26.
:12:26. > :12:31.Joel's PE teacher is Toby. There wasn't an inclusion policy. We are
:12:31. > :12:36.very much isolated from PE because of health and safety reasons, can't
:12:36. > :12:41.have a chair in a sports hall when we have 30 students there. I used
:12:41. > :12:48.to get upset about it. I really wanted to join in and I wanted to
:12:48. > :12:54.teach sport when I am olding and get into sport. Frustrated by the
:12:54. > :12:58.lack of access at school, Joel attend add scheme called Playground
:12:58. > :13:03.to Podium, set up after Britain was awarded the Olympics to enable
:13:03. > :13:07.disabled people to try out sports and identify future stars. Joel was
:13:07. > :13:10.immediately identified as being a natural in wheelchair basketball.
:13:10. > :13:15.We have been lucky to have great children come through in the last
:13:15. > :13:18.three years. Joel, to name one, but right at the start we saw Amy
:13:18. > :13:23.Conroy and Jessica apple gate and they are doing well at the
:13:23. > :13:29.Paralympics. Joel plays at Norwich low riders who practise here at
:13:29. > :13:33.eastern college. Although he was playing and coaching through
:13:33. > :13:39.Playground to Podium, in school he was still on the side lines. He was
:13:39. > :13:45.determined to use his new skils to teachers that there were ways to
:13:45. > :13:49.get involved in sport in school. sat down with the head of PE and
:13:49. > :13:52.head of the school, told them how I felt and told them that it wasn't
:13:52. > :13:56.really good enough. One thing which Joel learned from his coach
:13:56. > :14:02.something that there is a way for wheelchair users and able-bodied
:14:02. > :14:08.people to play together, inclusive zone basketball. Two separate
:14:08. > :14:12.playing zones on the court, so both groups integrate but never clash.
:14:12. > :14:15.Joel is at the forefront and he has better better knowledge than all of
:14:15. > :14:19.us. We are big enough to say let's use his knowledge and try things
:14:19. > :14:26.out. Some things have been brilliant, some things haven't
:14:26. > :14:32.worked very well. We are far from perfect. But we are getting there.
:14:32. > :14:38.Joel has also come up with ways to adapt badminton, table tennis and
:14:38. > :14:42.volley ball into the lessons. What do these first time players of
:14:42. > :14:45.inclusive zone basketball make of it Everyone gets the ball, it works
:14:45. > :14:50.perfectly. #Colour#Blue It is my first time playing it, and I
:14:50. > :14:53.preferred it, everyone seemed like they enjoyed it. The play ground to
:14:53. > :14:59.podium scheme was only planned to last four years and this is its
:14:59. > :15:04.final year. How can we be sure we still have world class Paralympians
:15:04. > :15:07.in 2016. It is going to be a lot harder for people who want to be
:15:07. > :15:12.involved in sport. All the doors that were opened for me aren't
:15:13. > :15:17.going to be there for people coming through at that age now. Peter
:15:17. > :15:21.White the BBC correspondent says if the legacy is to last the
:15:21. > :15:24.government must put its money where its mouth is. It takes money, there
:15:24. > :15:28.is no way round that. There are some extra costs with disability,
:15:28. > :15:34.but I don't think they are that great. I think really what the
:15:34. > :15:36.Government has to do is to create the interest and you also need the
:15:36. > :15:40.support if it is going to be in schools, of teachers who are
:15:41. > :15:45.prepared to give their time and you need people who have the knowledge
:15:45. > :15:48.to give the support, although this has been a hugely successful
:15:48. > :15:52.Paralympics, I would be sceptical about how much effect you would see
:15:52. > :15:58.in a year's time. Regardless of funding, Joel is
:15:58. > :16:01.confident about his ambitions. would like to go on and play at
:16:01. > :16:08.high level, maybe in a Paralympics one day. Eventually what I really
:16:08. > :16:12.want to do is coach my own club and let kids experience what I
:16:12. > :16:16.experienced, because I know the feeling of it, and I want to pass
:16:16. > :16:21.that on. Top boy. Good luck to Joel. You've
:16:21. > :16:27.got to be proud of him. Rob, you are about to make your
:16:28. > :16:32.West End debut in the Harold pinter theatre. Yes, this is news to me!
:16:32. > :16:41.The play is a classic, chorus of disapproval. Can you summarise the
:16:41. > :16:49.plot for us. Yes, I can Alex. It is a comedy, about an amateur op ratic
:16:49. > :16:54.society, putting on a from duction of the beggars opera. I play the
:16:54. > :17:01.director,, he is a Welsh guy, very highly strung and passionate and
:17:01. > :17:05.angry. Then this new chap comes and joins the society, and he works his
:17:05. > :17:09.way up the parts, to bigger parts and ends up having relationships
:17:09. > :17:15.with almost all the women in the cast, including my wife, played by
:17:15. > :17:19.the lovely Ashley Jensen, and it is funny but there is a lot of heart
:17:19. > :17:24.and anguish in there. It is a brilliant play. I would say that
:17:24. > :17:29.wouldn't I, but it really is. are a mad character, which must ab
:17:29. > :17:34.lot of fun to play. It is fun but you have to go, here we g because
:17:34. > :17:41.it is spwens. He gets angry, loses his temper and gets emotional and
:17:41. > :17:47.he is crying. I was saying to Tom, I sing this Welsh song, all through
:17:47. > :17:51.the nights, so I have had to learn it in Welsh. I don't speak Welsh.
:17:51. > :17:59.To an English person it sounds like you probably will speak Welsh.
:17:59. > :18:07.lot of us don't. I am aware of that. Because I am obviously stupid,...
:18:07. > :18:11.You are not stupid, you are slow, there is a difference. I would say
:18:11. > :18:20.from your staunchness, I would say he is from the valleys, that boy
:18:20. > :18:25.would speak Welsh. You were saying earlier, so much speech in it and
:18:25. > :18:35.so much anger, it's affecting you. I have a bit of a throat, so I have
:18:35. > :18:37.
:18:37. > :18:41.to be careful. Think I better dance now!
:18:41. > :18:46.You have to be careful and up to rest it. We were going to ask this
:18:46. > :18:54.question about the fact, it is a professional production, it is in
:18:54. > :19:00.the West End, about an am dram production, it must be fun or is it
:19:00. > :19:09.easier to - but you are not part of the acting in the am dram. Yes but
:19:09. > :19:19.he has been an actor. He says "I was in the business for some years,
:19:19. > :19:19.
:19:19. > :19:23.acting in those days. And a bit of stage management"
:19:23. > :19:26."He says all over, a lot of it in Minehead ". He is a frustrated
:19:26. > :19:30.actor and gets cross with the actors on the stage if they are not
:19:30. > :19:37.giving it enough. It is a lovely role to play. Is the beard for the
:19:37. > :19:45.role? Yes, I wanted to look a bit different, so when people came,
:19:45. > :19:51.they didn't feel they were looking at uncle Britain or the -- uncle
:19:51. > :19:55.Bryn. I thought it was quite artistic. Trevor is directing it,
:19:56. > :20:01.he has a beautiful beard. I thought it would be nice for the part.
:20:01. > :20:09.is a great excuse to grow a beard, which is fun. I am getting a lot of
:20:09. > :20:19.abuse about it on twitter. You can say it is for the part. It's lovely
:20:19. > :20:29.to be able to say, it's not me. you happy with the way your beard
:20:29. > :20:30.
:20:30. > :20:33.turned out. I love feeling it. you learned how to trim?
:20:33. > :20:38.growing it and growing it and before we open we will see what we
:20:39. > :20:46.are going to do with it. It is much more wiry than I was expecting here.
:20:46. > :20:52.Here is lovely and soft. Could be a submariners beard. Shall we leave
:20:53. > :21:02.berds and move on. Shall we have another hint at the
:21:03. > :21:25.
:21:26. > :21:33.Can I have a guess? Is it Jimmy Somerville? I didn't think toffs.
:21:33. > :21:43.You know who it is. Of course I do. Tom, clear your throat please.
:21:43. > :21:44.
:21:44. > :21:50.Can you finish this line. You sing it. You sang it in rehearsal.
:21:50. > :21:59.# Wherever I Lay My Hat... Is my home.
:21:59. > :22:09.That didn't go quite to plan. Of sno I don't want to be pedantic.
:22:09. > :22:10.
:22:10. > :22:19.That wasn't career. It's Wherever I Lay My Hat that's my home. I only
:22:19. > :22:29.know Paul young. It was a huge hit for him. Paul doesn't sing like
:22:29. > :22:36.
:22:36. > :22:39.that. He does sing like that. Wherever I Lay My Hat was recorded
:22:40. > :22:44.by Marvin Gaye in the '60s. It was only ever released as a B side in
:22:44. > :22:48.the UK and was never a hit. But it was the version more than 20 years
:22:48. > :22:58.later by Paul young that really captured people's hearts and stayed
:22:58. > :23:00.
:23:00. > :23:07.# Wherever I Lay My Hat that's my home. Paul young had just been
:23:07. > :23:17.signed as a solo performer. Hirst first two singles were released
:23:17. > :23:17.
:23:17. > :23:26.without success. This major hit broke him as a star.
:23:26. > :23:36.This iconic bass line was recorded by the guitarist Pino. He started
:23:36. > :23:46.playing electric guitar at the age of 14. Talk to me about the Paul
:23:46. > :23:49.
:23:49. > :23:54.young sessions. Did they say to you... It was just something I
:23:54. > :24:04.heard in my head, when they suggested something for the intro
:24:04. > :24:05.
:24:06. > :24:14.and I had an idea to play this mellow di. -- Melody. That's the
:24:14. > :24:22.sound of that song. I left the studio and wondered if I would hear
:24:22. > :24:31.it on the album or if it would make it on the album. The next stage of
:24:31. > :24:35.mixing and mastering was done by Laurie Latham It's quite emotive to
:24:35. > :24:42.hear it again, it is like a duet between the bass and the voice I
:24:43. > :24:50.think. I love the way it works together, those held notes. Just
:24:50. > :25:00.single notes, so much beauty and sustain to them. He starts replying
:25:00. > :25:07.
:25:07. > :25:11.# Wherever I Lay My Hat, that's my home
:25:11. > :25:15.I was never totally convinced it was a single, this track. We didn't
:25:15. > :25:21.know what to do with it and then Pino arrived and that all changed
:25:21. > :25:26.really. Once you find that magical ingredient and the way it evolved,
:25:26. > :25:32.it turned out to be the bass. next time I heard it was on the
:25:32. > :25:36.radio. I heard that intro and I felt really embarrassed. Because it
:25:36. > :25:41.was out there in the front and I thought it sounds out of tune. All
:25:41. > :25:46.musicians are the same, we all think we are rubbish. So self-
