08/02/2018 The One Show

Hello and welcome to

The One Show with Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

Tonight's guest isn't

just a great actor, he's

a pretty handy musician too.

He plays the drums, the piano

and even the vibraphone.

But, as they say, everyone's

got their critics.

Why not?

He's still music to our ears,

please welcome Max Beesley.

APPLAUSE

Very nice, much little girl telling

me I'm not very good!

How little is

she?

She is four, she is amazing,

beautiful, diamond in my eyes!

She

does not like your piano playing!

She is big on Mozart.

It was a bit

basic for her?

I bet she loves the

drums.

She does, she is very good.

Whatever she wants to get into, I

will back it.

Your daughter's not the only

woman in charge, Max.

Also joining us tonight

is Lieutenant Colonel Lucy Giles,

the first female commander at

Sandhurst.

And we'll be meeting someone whose

life was transformed by this.

Your daughter might like this. You

can find out how later.

First, to

something

that affects us all -

how to care for loved ones

in later life.

It's a difficult issue,

with reports today of understaffing

in social care services

across the country.

Negotiating this complex system can

be draining and expensive.

We asked broadcaster

Iain Lee, and his mum Linda,

to share their story.

I'm the first to admit that in my

job I have a reputation for being a

bit gobby but one that I have in

common with a lot of people is the

struggle I face trying to sort out

care for a close relative full in my

case, Mike 67-year-old mum Linda.

I'm off to up might mum, she had

been living in this care home for 11

or 12 years and they look after her

really well but recently we were

faced with the issue that because of

funding and money, she might have to

move somewhere else which would have

been a disaster. Say cheese. Mum was

just 14 when she was diagnosed with

MS. Up until then she had been a

sharp-witted, loving mum who looked

after us all her life.

You were so

sweet, what happened?!

Munda does

not qualify for continuing health

care funding is under the social

care system rules, as she owned her

own house and had savings she had

been paying to live in the home. You

are brilliant at saving, you saved

£100,000. You would squirrel it

away.

I know.

Over the past 11 years

she has spent a little under

£350,000 on her care and last

September her savings had gone down

to just under £24,000. We had always

been told that when she crossed that

financial threshold, the council

would step in and take over the

payments and we believed that was

what would happen. I think we were a

bit naive. Look at those. I will

never forget the moment the council

called, telling me they would not be

able to cover the cost of the home

and would look to move mum to

alternative, more affordable

accommodation. I put the phone down

and burst into tears and didn't have

a clue what to do or who to turn to.

I soon found out that the only

person who's going to fight for

month to stay at the home she loved

was me. I basically had to act as

the middleman between the Counsel

and care home. It took a few weeks

but eventually we all came to an

agreement which meant mum could

state. If I had not got involved,

she would automatically have been

moved out so my advice is, don't

take it lying down. I really want to

go and share my story and my

experience with people and who

knows, maybe even help one or two

going through a similar thing. Today

I have invited some experts to

Reading's biggest shopping centre to

help others facing similar

challenges. Before we start I have

some questions of my own. Explain

this threshold and what it means.

There is a financial threshold which

is £23,250 which takes into account

your property any capital savings

you have and any income you have.

When you hit that, the council will

step in and take over responsibility

but there is also an assessment of

need, because if the council

believes that another home can meet

her needs safely for less money,

they will offer to move her pulse if

you live in Northern Ireland the

threshold is the same but in the

Scotland it is for the £6,000 and in

Wales it is £30,000 -- 20 £6,000.

Are they allowed to take in to

account the savings of family

members?

Not at all, it would just

be based on your mother's situation,

her income and savings.

And I are

not the only one with questions.

Martin is worried about his dad.

If

my mother needs care but my father

doesn't, can the house disappear

under father?

They will only be

based her charges on income and

capital savings. If he goes into

care, they will take the house into

account.

As for Katie Bond

grandparents, they went into care

together but after 60 years of

marriage they found themselves

having to live apart when a

grandad's health deteriorated. Was

there any offer, moving the wife in

as well?

Because the other home was

a nursing home and my Nan did not

meet the threshold for that.

I am

sure it was your responsibility, you

put another bed in the room, don't

you?

If you're Nan needed to be with

her husband, if that was something

really important and it's difficult

to imagine it wasn't, that is part

of her care needs, she needed to be

in the same place as him physically

and if that meant there was a bit

more cost involved, it should have

been paid for.

As the day draws to a

close, what should we all be

thinking about? Any tips?

I would

say to plan and it's never too early

to start.

I would seek advice, go to

special adviser and make an informed

decision.

Talking to someone and

planning ahead, advice I wish I had

followed when mum first became ill,

things that would have saved us a

lot of heartache. Can you drive me

into a pub?

Thank you to Iain and Linda.

We're keen to hear your stories too,

so please get in touch

if this issue affects you.

The Department of Health

and Social Care has told us

they're investing

more money and the government

will soon propose changes to social

care "to ensure it is

sustainable for the future".

Permaul information that is help on

our website -- for more information.

It is something you have talked

about?

It should be spoken about,

morbid as it might sound, but

funeral plans.

Your will, all of

that.

We do think we're in fallible

but were not, as we have seen. We

speak about it, I speak about it and

make sure the children are looked

after and what I would like to

happen to me if I passed away.

It is

important... Conversation is key.

Proactive.

On a slightly lighter

note you're back and you could talk

about the second series of James

Down starting tomorrow on Sky One.

And it's a double -- Jamestown.

Bring us up to speed.

Basically it is 1607 and it covers

the story of the first settlers in

Jamestown Virginia who came over

from England, having led a pretty

drab life in England and wanting a

new experience in Jamestown but what

they were faced with were horrific

times, starvation and disease and

illness and death. Half of the

people that came over on the boats

initially in 16 is died for that. --

in 1607.

Even played a hard-working

character with an interesting side.

You have a big scar on your face.

In

the first season, I go up the

Mounties to find gold because that

is my ideal -- the Mount-Evans.

There was tobacco on the plantations

and that was the gold but he is

convinced there is gold up there and

I go with my brother who has an

interest in my wife, which I had

paid for, and that they love

connection there and I fall asleep

smoking a pipe with gunpowder and

had blown up and he leaves me to

die. He is a lovely brother!

Here is

a clip of you speaking in a way we

have probably not heard you speaking

before.

If you refuse, there are more

investment is it our favour and

kindness.

Do as the King wishes.

APPLAUSE

That was not Welsh as somebody in

our production meeting said! It was

Native American. How did you go

about teaching yourself such a

complex language?

The production

company Carnival make top end drama

and they have put everything into

Jamestown and Bill Gallagher is a

phenomenal writer and they have the

best historians and dialect coaches,

costume and make-up and everything.

All you need to do is spend time

with these guys because they are at

the top of their business and put

the time in. But with that, that was

one of the hardest things. It is not

like French or Italian with male and

female and sounds similar to

English, it has not been spoken for

a hundred years, there was a

specialist who worked with us every

day and we worked out we put in

about a hundred manner into a Depor

two or three page seemed -- a

hundred man hours into a scene. You

have to write all of it, listen to

the other actors as well it is a

challenge but watching it, I was

quite impressed!

You did all right!

You have been working very hard at

an actor but also as a musician,

working on a new album.

Yes, it used

to be a profession for me as a

youngster but it is a hobby now.

October I thought I would put some

tunes together. I had a list of

people I wanted to work with, that I

had worked with or aspired to work

with. Eight out of the ten said yes

which was wonderful and very

blessed.

How high profile are we

going?

Top notch. Robbie kindly

agreed to do the album. Paul Weller,

he sang one of the most important

tunes, for my daughter.

Did she like

it?

She is four and she knows all

the lyrics! It is amazing. Paul did

a great vocal, he is one of our best

singers. Lisa Stansfield who I love.

When is it out?

Where finding a home

for it right now so we will see and

then get it out.

Best of luck with

it all.

This week we've already met women

who have blazed a trail

in business and science.

Tonight, the army.

Soon we'll meet Lieutenant

Colonel Lucy Giles.

But first, here are

the women who influenced

the presenter of Woman's Hour.

In Barnsley.

I Jenny Macklin and my life began

here, I lived it with my and my dad,

with an electrician, she had to give

up work because they did not have

married women in those days. I was

an only child so I was completely

the focus of attention. She loved me

but she didn't always entirely

approve of me. I was not the pretty,

polite, charming little girl that my

mother had hoped I might be so I

suppose all my life I was rebelling

against the woman who ran this

house, and at the same time

desperately trying to please her. My

mother's determination to mould me

went as far as elocution lessons

from the age of five. No risk of a

Yorkshire accent. I did please her

when I passed the 11 plus and went

to her secondary school, Barnsley

high school for girls. There I met

another formidable influence, my

French teacher. It was a thrill to

meet her again some 50 years later.

It is so good to see you.

The school is now flats but inside

there are a few reminders of the old

days. If only the walls could talk.

What do you remember of me?

For you

I remembered somebody who was

extremely clever, more mature than

most of the others and if you could

detect some kind of appreciation in

my comment on your work, that was

something you enjoy it.

I wanted to

be patted on the head!

Is a discreet

way. As if we could exchange a wink

and say, all right, but the others

have said is fairly traditional and

pedestrians but what I have said is

a bit shocking and personal! And you

enjoyed that.

Another strong woman

like my mother who inspired

rebellion who I was also desperate

to impress. Maybe a pattern was

emerging here.

Haberman

at 18 I combined my

interest in drama and French when I

went to study at the University of

Hull,

it was there that I started to

forge my own identity. I walked into

the radio studio and I felt

completely at home and I knew then

that is what I wanted to do, it was

not as sophisticated as it is now,

of course. It is amazing that it

started here, really, here I am, 67,

still doing it. My career has taken

me from BBC local radio to Newsnight

and back to my beloved radio as

presenter of woman's hour, and

eventually I even went to Buckingham

Palace to be made a Dame by the

Queen. My mother died in 2006 would

have been proud as punch. Enough

talk of the past, let's talk about

the future. I hope I can give some

advice to the next generation of

budding broadcasters with my One

Show lecture at my old stomping

ground. I will stick to the

headlines. It is important to be

persistent, it is important to be

competent, don't let people put you

down -- confident. Be willing and be

the one who says, I can do that. And

don't be afraid to start at the

bottom. But be very bad at what the

bottom requires a view. The

impressive -- requires of you. And

keep on keeping on. LAUGHTER

STUDIO: Very wise words.

Thank you, Jenni.

We're joined now by someone

who has served in Iraq,

Afghanistan, Bosnia,

Sierra Leone and Northern Ireland

and is the first ever female college

commander at Sandhurst -

Left-tenant-Colonel Lucy Giles.

APPLAUSE

Lovely to see you.

You have no

military background, your parents

were not from the military?

I was

from Somerset and went to my local

comprehensive school and went to

university and had a retrospective

gap year which meant I did know what

I wanted to do. My experience at the

University training Corps sowed

seeds and my friend Alison said,

just get on and join the Army, and

because it is the challenge and the

travel which sounds quite cliched

but it was the people actually that

drew me to the service and it has

been great ever since.

26 years now,

how has the perception of women

changed and the treatment of women

changed?

I have seen a lot of

change. When I first joined you had

to leave if you were pregnant and if

you were gay you had to leave, you

were disciplined, in fact, if you

were gay, and we have got on with

that and got rid of it. Maternity

and paternity arrangements are now

fantastic and we are a stone wall

100 company and are part of an

organisation which has just got a

triple Ofsted, so very proud to be

part of that.

We have seen how

inclusive the adverts have come, but

maybe the young girls they still

associated with something that is

ruled by men, what would you say to

young women who are scared of

applying?

They just need to go for

it. I've got a daughter and if she

wanted to be in the Army I would

say, apply, there are so many

different things and there is a good

five, if that makes sense. -- a good

fibre. Very positive role models out

there and we had six mating ladies

who just cross Antarctica -- six

amazing ladies. How amazing is that?

If anyone feels a bit fearful about

joining, I'm going to Chinese then,

if they are keen to come, I will

host them at Sandhurst -- I'm going

to challenge them. Just e-mail me

and it will get there and we will

show you what we do.

EU are,

training offices -- Hee Young

-- here you are, training new

offices, why has it taken so long?

The important thing it is

practically bare, and we need to get

the physical standards so that we

are not inadvertently breaking

anybody, but here we are, I'm

confident we will have women serving

in the infantry next year -- the

important thing, it is practically

here.

We could speak to you all

night.

It is lovely being here, and

I want to say hello to my son and

daughter, Alex and yes. -- Jess.

We

are very pleased to have you here.

And for everything you do.

Thank you Lucy - undoubtedly

a pioneer in your own right,

but there have been many pioneers

throughout British history.

Joe's been looking back

at 400 years of British

imagination and invention.

The holograms used on our bank cards

on the first computer memory, what

do they have in common? They are

protected by British patents. To

celebrate 400 years of British

patents a series of photographs has

been taken to highlight the

ingenuity of the vengeance. -- of

the inventions. What is the point of

a patented?

To protect someone's

unique idea, really, if you have an

idea and it will be of value to you

and the community, you want to

protect it.

400 years ago we had the

first one, what was it for?

A method

of engraving and printing maps, but

we can't show you a map where they

have used this process.

What are the

valuable ones?

Pfizer made £109

billion.

109 billion! If I want my

invention to remain secret, can I do

that?

Every single pate and that is

filed today goes by the Ministry of

Defence -- every single patents but

the if they think it is a danger to

the country, it may not be published

for 20, 30 years.

Incredible. These

days thousands of patents are

granted every year, everything from

this children's the folds on this

water bottle.

water bottle. The national media and

science museum in Bradford is home

to one of the most controversial

inventions, the Seattle gaffe.

inventions, the Seattle gaffe.

It

was invented by Robert Paul and it

can be considered to be the

beginnings of the cinema industry

within Britain at this point.

But

Paul wasn't the first to project

moving pictures in Britain, and his

old business partner Bert acres has

beaten him to it with his device.

The pair had previously worked

together to design a film camera but

the partnership had only lasted six

weeks.

Acres paintings in the

camera, a similar one, in his own

name, cutting Paul out of the work

they had done together -- patented.

Even though acres got there first,

Paul had the last laugh. With films

like this of the 1896 apps and the,

Paul's see films became a big

success -- 1896 apps and the.

Others show the first beta blockers

and artificial silk and Portland

cement, all of which have had

British patents.

We are trying to

create a body of work which

demonstrates the imagination behind

invention and then we tried a

visualise this into a interesting

image and bring it to life or people

all over the world to

all over the world to understand --

for people.

The caption being

photographed here is the grip on

rugby balls.

rugby balls. Ted wants to capture

the way a game of rugby flows

smoothly as a result of this

invention.

That is looking very

nice.

The images they have created

will be circulating across the

world, it is a imaginative and

distinctive way of showcasing the

incredible innovation that has come

out of Britain over the last 400

years. STUDIO: That will be a great

display.

And one of Britain's

ingenious inventors joins us

now - Mandy Haberman.

The Female Inventor of the Year.

Because of these cup designs. Added

these come to be? -- how did.

I've

done a number of inventions, in what

turned me from being a graphic

designer and a mother to being an

inventor was having children. I can

thank my kids for this. Our youngest

daughter was born with problems and

she was fed with achievement which

went up her nose and she had that

for about four months -- she was fed

with a

with a tube. Miss assesses

assessor team was the mother of

invention, if you like. Mashed

necessity was the mother.

If I had not got into the renting

thing, I got the bug, and I realised

I was the

-- if I had not got into the

inventing thing, I got the bug, and

I realised I was looking at other

children and they needed that cup.

It was the anyway up cup and it was

a big success.

When you designed the

cups, you went to many David and

Goliath court cases with the big

boys and managed to win.

Yes. The

way the market works, if you have a

technology which disrupts the status

quo and technology changes the

market, and we had a 40% share

quo and technology changes the

market, and we had a 40% share, and

so the existing companies thing, who

is this, -- think, who is this

question not they challenge the

patented and come up with the

infringements and then it is down to

the paint and owner -- patent owner

to see if they will force their

rights and it was a difficult

decision. You can lose everything.

But I did it because I felt I

couldn't live with myself if I'd do

something about it. It all turned

out wonderfully.

Here you are to

tell the tale. Max, you are an

immense? -- inventor.

Of course will

I did have an idea once. Instead of

having a tanning bed... Stand-up

tanning beds. You are in there, but

check this out, at every resort,

instead of it being tubes, it is 30

factor, with all the jets coming

out, how annoying is it putting all

your cream on? You close the door

and say, number 30 please, and in

the dryer drives you and then you

put on your pants and you go out.

I

don't know what to say.

How was

that?

They already out there.

That's your lot for tonight -

thanks to Mandy, Lucy and Max -

Jamestown returns tomorrow,

9pm, Sky One.

Tomorrow Jeremy Vine

and I will be joined by John Simm

and the stars of new Marvel

film, Black Panther.

See you tomorrow!

Good night.
