:00:19. > :00:25.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Jeremy Vine, a
:00:26. > :00:29.man so keen to meet a night's guests, well, he has been sending
:00:30. > :00:42.them subliminal messages for years. Music! Never ever have I felt so
:00:43. > :00:47.low. Take me out of this black hole. Never ever have I ever felt so sad.
:00:48. > :00:57.The way I am feeling, you have got me feeling really bad, yeah. I hope
:00:58. > :01:06.you enjoyed it. No, Jeremy! Yes, it is All Saints, everyone!
:01:07. > :01:14.That was brilliant! Somebody took ages to do that. That is impressive!
:01:15. > :01:21.I should say, on Eggheads, you have been a question, All Saints has been
:01:22. > :01:24.a question 11 times. Fantastic. We are so pleased you are back
:01:25. > :01:29.together, this is big news, especially for people of my
:01:30. > :01:33.generation, I guess, but you two live together now, you were saying
:01:34. > :01:41.with your families. How do you split the jaws? Who does the bins? We just
:01:42. > :01:45.watched this and the couch at home, this is what we do every night, we
:01:46. > :01:52.don't do any chores, it is just a mess! And, Natalie, they are like
:01:53. > :01:56.Joey and Chandler? Honestly, they are hilarious, they should have
:01:57. > :02:02.their own show. Tonight could be the night! We have saved your of bother,
:02:03. > :02:08.you can watch from right there. All Saints back together, they will be
:02:09. > :02:11.performing at the end of the show, and hopefully they will agree that
:02:12. > :02:16.singing makes you happier. And doctors have said it makes you
:02:17. > :02:23.healthier too. We sing while we learn, we sing
:02:24. > :02:29.while we celebrate. Now, I do like to sing in private, and when I sing,
:02:30. > :02:33.I do feel happy, so maybe we should not be surprised that it has now
:02:34. > :02:39.been biologically proven that singing makes us feel good. Recent
:02:40. > :02:43.research from the University of London and the Royal College of
:02:44. > :02:49.Music have shown that exercising our tonsils can improve our well-being.
:02:50. > :02:55.Dr Iain Lewers worked on the study. What we have shown for the first
:02:56. > :02:58.time is that it influences the immune system. When we analysed the
:02:59. > :03:03.participants per' samples, we found they had a drop in a hormone called
:03:04. > :03:10.cortisol, which is strongly linked to stress. It also showed a big
:03:11. > :03:14.uplift in a whole range of difficult -- different chemicals which are
:03:15. > :03:18.linked to the immune system. So we can achieve different things from
:03:19. > :03:23.different songs. From the uplifting songs, people are more energised,
:03:24. > :03:27.they are laughing. The more reflective songs, they can be
:03:28. > :03:32.cathartic. We need to be clear, it is beneficial, but it is not a cure.
:03:33. > :03:37.It is not a replacement. Did treatment, but it could be a serious
:03:38. > :03:43.medical intervention for people who have anxiety or depression. -- four
:03:44. > :03:51.conventional treatment. So singing in a group is good for us, but what
:03:52. > :03:57.if you are not very good? # You were working as a waitress in
:03:58. > :04:02.a cocktail bar... # The Tuneless Wire was set up in
:04:03. > :04:09.Nottingham. I have wanted to sing for a number of years, and the music
:04:10. > :04:13.teacher told me, please stop, you are spoiling it for everyone else. I
:04:14. > :04:19.thought they should be somewhere for people like me, all together, to
:04:20. > :04:24.sing. What is different about this choir? It is the group, the
:04:25. > :04:28.community feel that makes it special. I have been in choirs in
:04:29. > :04:34.the past, and you got in trouble if you sign the wrong notes. What have
:04:35. > :04:41.I got in store for tonight? A treat! We are more likely to throw you out
:04:42. > :04:43.if you sing in tune! Merritt sometimes I feel I've got to run
:04:44. > :04:50.away # I've got to get away... #
:04:51. > :04:57.Do you feel that singing in this choir has had a beneficial impact on
:04:58. > :05:00.your health, Jo? Yes, it has. I had cancer, and my throat was really
:05:01. > :05:13.closing up, and I think it is anxiety. What made you start coming
:05:14. > :05:18.to this choir? My daughter persuaded me, and it is the best thing I have
:05:19. > :05:25.done. That is lovely to hear. I do not feel embarrassed. For a tuneless
:05:26. > :05:33.choir, it is not a bad sound! # And I would walk 500 miles and I
:05:34. > :05:36.would walk 500 more... # So base eight you should sing as if
:05:37. > :05:42.no-one else is singing, albeit badly. -- so they say. It may not be
:05:43. > :05:52.great for people listening, but it will still be good for your health.
:05:53. > :05:58.Thanks, Lucy, we did say it sing in private for us both. I am not great,
:05:59. > :06:03.I wish I could. It breaks my heart when I try to hit a note, I have got
:06:04. > :06:07.about three. It has been 19 years since your last number one, and you
:06:08. > :06:11.are back with your new album, Red Flag, which we are very excited
:06:12. > :06:17.about. Do you agree that singing makes you happy? Definitely, it
:06:18. > :06:22.makes you euphoric, and I know it also connects you with the people
:06:23. > :06:29.you are singing with, it creates a bonding, and it is definitely a
:06:30. > :06:38.euphoric feeling. Even karaoke... I love karaoke! What is your karaoke
:06:39. > :06:44.song, Mel? I don't know, maybe Abba, I am usually drunk by that point. If
:06:45. > :06:52.you were in a karaoke bar, and an All Saints song came on... We have
:06:53. > :06:57.done it, we have sung along. So I guess everyone knows there was a bit
:06:58. > :07:03.of disharmony that led to you parting initially, water under the
:07:04. > :07:10.bridge! That was an accident! That has all gone now, who made the first
:07:11. > :07:17.call to get you back together? I think Shaz made the call, didn't
:07:18. > :07:22.you? I think somebody called me up and asked if we would be interested
:07:23. > :07:27.in supporting the Backstreet Boys, that was two years ago, which we
:07:28. > :07:30.did. We jumped at it, because performing was one of the things we
:07:31. > :07:36.did the least throughout our careers. We spent so much time doing
:07:37. > :07:43.promo that we didn't really get to tour. To do the job, yeah. The
:07:44. > :07:48.thought of doing it with no record to sell or any pressure was amazing,
:07:49. > :07:55.we were just able to rock out and do shows over ten dates or something
:07:56. > :08:01.like that. It was amazing. Did you will agree instantly, or were some
:08:02. > :08:08.of you not sure? I think we all had to take a moment. Nicole, I am
:08:09. > :08:15.looking at you! That is what I was going to say! Because we live
:08:16. > :08:20.together, we think the same. No, we all had to, like, it was an easy
:08:21. > :08:26.decision, that one, it was harder to decide whether we were going to do
:08:27. > :08:30.the album, only because we had the love back for it after the tour. And
:08:31. > :08:36.we kind of just wanted to carry on hanging out. We had such a good time
:08:37. > :08:41.on tour, we wanted it to carry on, and the next step was an album, but
:08:42. > :08:45.that was quite scary at first. You wrote nearly all the songs on the
:08:46. > :08:51.album, Shaz, with a all in your head for ten years, or did you just have
:08:52. > :08:54.a fortnight to write them? I spent a year or so writing, there were a
:08:55. > :09:00.couple that I kept hold of, that always sounded like us. The amazing
:09:01. > :09:09.thing was, getting ready downstairs, I could hear you all warming up, it
:09:10. > :09:13.is All Saints! Badly! Not at all! But is it daunting, coming back
:09:14. > :09:17.after 20 years? It must be no cracking with a live performance
:09:18. > :09:23.coming up, how do you feel? It is like we're having an out of body
:09:24. > :09:29.experience, it feels so weird. Very overwhelming. We not expect the
:09:30. > :09:35.album, to be having an album, and we never end is it this. Being on the
:09:36. > :09:39.One Show, that was never in our plan! You were practising earlier,
:09:40. > :09:44.and I came out and watched in the crowd, I put my phone up to take a
:09:45. > :09:48.picture, and I thought, I am one of them now. It is a different
:09:49. > :09:52.situation, you have got kids, and some of them are in their 20s. Have
:09:53. > :09:57.you had feedback from them? You did a big comeback gig on Monday which
:09:58. > :10:04.had rave reviews, but what was their reviews, the kids? They loved it.
:10:05. > :10:11.Loved it, absolutely loved it. I don't think we would be doing it if
:10:12. > :10:15.they were not proud. But they are looking forward to going onto a
:10:16. > :10:23.macro with us, we are going on tour in October. One of the review said
:10:24. > :10:28.it was the coolest comeback gig of the week or something. Do the kids
:10:29. > :10:40.say, yeah, that was cruel? They are still our kids, kids! Mummy! Shall
:10:41. > :10:44.we do the fashion question? How do we raise this? Well, I mean, a lot
:10:45. > :10:51.of people will be a member you for the combat trousers and crop tops,
:10:52. > :10:56.including myself. So All Saints fans, if you rocked that look back
:10:57. > :11:04.in the day, please send us a picture, you are in good company,
:11:05. > :11:13.look at the crew. Look at that! Amazing! Oh, that is amazing. You
:11:14. > :11:20.have to bring them on tour. That is... Who is who? David is even
:11:21. > :11:27.doing Nicole's face! He has been practising for several days. The new
:11:28. > :11:31.album, Red Flag, is out today, and All Saints will be touring in
:11:32. > :11:36.October, and later they will be performing their brand-new track,
:11:37. > :11:39.One Woman Man. Can't wait for that. On an evening with four
:11:40. > :11:43.exceptionally stylish guest on the sofa, let's meet a man who was a
:11:44. > :11:47.trendsetter of a rather different type.
:11:48. > :11:52.Three years ago, James Young was involved in a train accident which
:11:53. > :11:56.would change is life for ever. As the train was arriving, I was
:11:57. > :12:02.walking alongside it, and then I just fell between two carriages. No
:12:03. > :12:07.idea how it happened. Thanks to the quick action of a fellow passenger
:12:08. > :12:15.and the emergency services, James' life was saved, but in the process
:12:16. > :12:18.he lost his left arm and leg. He was in a coma for 12 days after the
:12:19. > :12:24.accident, leaving his family to watch and wait. They probably coped
:12:25. > :12:29.as well as parents could if you got that kind of news. My mum started a
:12:30. > :12:35.diary immediately, which is typical of my mum. Is that the diary here?
:12:36. > :12:40.It is a hard read. Feeling so hopeful that he will pull through.
:12:41. > :12:46.The limbs are only a nuisance, not life-threatening, and to be able to
:12:47. > :12:51.with anything... Are you all right? No, sorry, yeah. How do you function
:12:52. > :12:56.with your prosthesis? Not that well, to be honest. I cannot really open
:12:57. > :13:02.its wide enough. That would be all over you in a splash. I cannot
:13:03. > :13:06.accept it as me, because it is not good enough. But that is all about
:13:07. > :13:14.to change. Today James is being fitted with a new and rather unique
:13:15. > :13:20.arm, created by a designer who is revolutionising our perception of
:13:21. > :13:25.disability. Sophie de Oliveira Barata turns prosthetic limbs into
:13:26. > :13:30.art. She began by making realistic limbs for amputees before starting
:13:31. > :13:34.to experiment with more unique creations. One guy nailed it for me,
:13:35. > :13:39.he said, people stop and stare, I would like to give them something
:13:40. > :13:44.good to stare at. What do people ask for? One was a performing artist,
:13:45. > :13:48.and she had a leg covered in crystals. This guy is ex military,
:13:49. > :13:54.and he wanted something to trick the eye, so we mixed a realistic but
:13:55. > :13:58.with these muscles. James is into gaming and technology, so Sophie has
:13:59. > :14:06.teamed up with a games company for her biggest challenge yet. With the
:14:07. > :14:08.help of Formula One engineers and 3D designers, they have created a
:14:09. > :14:12.personalised arm reflecting his interests. We decided to put our
:14:13. > :14:18.research and energies into alternative functions, so a torch, a
:14:19. > :14:22.laser, a USB connection. James has a quadrocopter that he can attach to
:14:23. > :14:29.the arm. I am so excited about seeing what his reaction will be to
:14:30. > :14:34.this. I am not! No, I am, I am very excited! It looks incredible, but it
:14:35. > :14:36.is up to James to decide whether this new limb has got style and
:14:37. > :14:51.substance. Oh, my God! Watched you think? My
:14:52. > :14:59.word! It is, like so robotic and bionic! That is what you wanted,
:15:00. > :15:05.right? It is so cool! As well as lights and gadgets, the new harm as
:15:06. > :15:08.a new trick up its sleeve - a fully functioning hand controlled by
:15:09. > :15:09.sensors on his shoulders, and with a few tweaks it starts to come to
:15:10. > :15:18.life. That's really strong. This is the
:15:19. > :15:23.power grid, for picking up normal stuff. It's quite fun! It's working
:15:24. > :15:27.really well. I can grab things, I can pinch things, I can point at
:15:28. > :15:34.things. It looks awesome. It's fantastic. Are you ready for this?
:15:35. > :15:36.Oh, my sweet lord. After months of anticipation it's finally time for
:15:37. > :15:43.James to show off his futuristic arm anticipation it's finally time for
:15:44. > :15:46.in all its glory. Is pretty cool. Sophie has created a limb that
:15:47. > :15:55.couldn't be more individual. It reflects James' identity and it's
:15:56. > :15:59.changed the way that I is a doctor. And by creating these works of art,
:16:00. > :16:05.hopefully more people will begin to see what is there, instead of what
:16:06. > :16:14.isn't. Thank you very much to Doctor
:16:15. > :16:19.Salayah Alsan, and James and Sophie, your baby is three weeks old and
:16:20. > :16:24.downstairs. Yes. James Connolly you have had your arm for a month, it's
:16:25. > :16:28.really changed the way you view your future, hasn't it? It made me think
:16:29. > :16:32.about the future of what my body will be like in the future and kind
:16:33. > :16:36.of what the limitations are in current prosthetic technology and
:16:37. > :16:41.it's made me kind of explore stuff like titanium implants that I'm
:16:42. > :16:45.fund-raising for, to try to get the forefront, get the most awesome
:16:46. > :16:48.stuff basically into my body. The most awesome stuff. This is pretty
:16:49. > :16:54.conjugated, but you have got to grips with it so to speak. Right.
:16:55. > :17:00.You went to the supermarket, decided to buy some cider, as you do. What
:17:01. > :17:04.happened? Yes, essentially I was going around Sainsbury's with my
:17:05. > :17:08.basket shopping and loaded up two bottles, not too many, but
:17:09. > :17:13.unfortunately the middle finger snapped. Does Sophie want to hear
:17:14. > :17:18.this? I didn't really know the limits at the time, but basically it
:17:19. > :17:23.meant that when I did a hand close everything closed except the middle
:17:24. > :17:27.finger, which kind of leads to... Exactly. But you have got to grips
:17:28. > :17:32.with it but you say you can't wear it all the time, because when you go
:17:33. > :17:36.out it really does attract quite a lot of attention? Right, yes, it's
:17:37. > :17:43.like in the street I usually get attention due to my applications.
:17:44. > :17:47.And this phase, James! And the face but essentially people are really
:17:48. > :17:51.intrigues and they have a childlike curiosity about how they address me
:17:52. > :17:55.now and people are trying to take pictures and take selfies and stuff
:17:56. > :17:59.with me. It's incredible. Sometimes I don't really want to wear the arm
:18:00. > :18:04.because it's just too much and it requires a lot of energy. It's an
:18:05. > :18:08.expensive bit of kit and you need funding from a gaming company to get
:18:09. > :18:11.it made. Sophie, you have had experiences which have led you
:18:12. > :18:16.towards designing this kind of thing and there's a particular young girl
:18:17. > :18:21.called Pollyanna? She was instrumental in this. Yes, a really
:18:22. > :18:24.lovely little girl and I saw her every year, I would make her a
:18:25. > :18:29.realistic limb and she wanted something a bit different. She did a
:18:30. > :18:36.beautiful drawing for me once of little jewels in her leg. We can see
:18:37. > :18:39.it, she would have had store things inside her leg? Stored things, I
:18:40. > :18:43.think it was inspirational and there must be loads of other people out
:18:44. > :18:46.there, grown-ups with the child within, that want to express
:18:47. > :18:50.themselves and do something different. Some of the ones you have
:18:51. > :18:55.made have been remarkable. We have photos of different legs you have
:18:56. > :19:02.designed. This one here is bejewelled, isn't it? Yes, this
:19:03. > :19:06.lovely lady, Louis, she wanted the leg to kind of... She has all these
:19:07. > :19:12.little stories she wanted to have hidden in the leg. There is a shark
:19:13. > :19:16.on one side, which was a story about having her legs taken off by a
:19:17. > :19:23.shark. It's a way for people to express themselves, both of you,
:19:24. > :19:27.thank you so much for joining us. It was a brilliant film, thank you. All
:19:28. > :19:30.Saints are live in just a moment but first, the EU referendum is only 11
:19:31. > :19:36.weeks away and Jeremy will tell you all you need to know to make up your
:19:37. > :19:38.mind on his Radio Two show. I'll be trying, but another argument has
:19:39. > :19:47.been raging for years and for that we need Arthur Smith.
:19:48. > :19:52.I five or one metre 80? Is this half a pound of butter, or 200 grams?
:19:53. > :20:01.Five litres of petrol, or a gallon? Are you imperial, or are you metric?
:20:02. > :20:10.Do you know how tall you are? Five foot, three and a half. Kilos or
:20:11. > :20:17.pounds? Kilos. How far away do you live? A couple of miles. Not three
:20:18. > :20:21.kilometres? I always going miles. In Britain, height, weight and distance
:20:22. > :20:25.are a mash up of metric and imperial. But one thing most of us
:20:26. > :20:32.agree on is that road signs are in miles. Or are they? Well, we are
:20:33. > :20:39.going along the M25 here and signs at the side of the road say
:20:40. > :20:43.something like M25, A, and then a number, 83.9 or something. They are
:20:44. > :20:50.in kilometres. Road signs in kilometres? ! Do
:20:51. > :21:00.people know about this? 133.8... Metres, Miles. Metres, Miles?
:21:01. > :21:06.Kilometres or miles? Kilometres. Really? These signs are introduced
:21:07. > :21:12.-- were introduced in 2003 and are on motorways, but a recent survey
:21:13. > :21:17.showed 76% of motorists don't know what they're for. It's a driver
:21:18. > :21:21.location sign, it tells you what motorway you are on because people
:21:22. > :21:25.do get that wrong when they are in a panic, it tells you which
:21:26. > :21:29.carriageway you are on, as it happens B is the anticlockwise
:21:30. > :21:32.carriageway on the M25, and that tells you where you are on the
:21:33. > :21:38.length of the motorway, in kilometres and metres. What a mess,
:21:39. > :21:42.but when and why did it all gets so complicated? I think there is no
:21:43. > :21:46.doubt the world is going metric. Parliament debated introducing the
:21:47. > :21:49.metric system throughout the 19th century. Scientists and
:21:50. > :21:54.industrialists wanted the change to help trade with metric countries. In
:21:55. > :22:00.1968, the government finally decided we should change. Start metrication
:22:01. > :22:05.now. But it wasn't plain sailing. To investigate, I have come to the
:22:06. > :22:12.obvious place, Imperial Guard, where pleasingly they have a nightclub
:22:13. > :22:17.called Metric. When we joined the European Union, us Brits were given
:22:18. > :22:21.special Wash special dispensation to mix imperial and metric, beer from
:22:22. > :22:30.the tap has to be served in pints, but bottles must be in Millilitres.
:22:31. > :22:37.Fuel consumption is on a gallon but we buy in litres. Highway codes and
:22:38. > :22:41.speeds four miles per hour, and groceries have to be sold in kilos
:22:42. > :22:47.but you can display towels as long as it's less prominent. In the
:22:48. > :22:51.2000th some people objected to any use of telegrams and got prosecuted
:22:52. > :22:54.as metric martyrs. Even two of the great sports invented by the British
:22:55. > :23:00.seem to have gone their different ways. Now, young footballer fellow,
:23:01. > :23:08.what's this? The six box. This is the 18 yard box. Rugby chat? The ten
:23:09. > :23:14.metre line, the 22 metre line. How did this confusion between metric
:23:15. > :23:17.and imperial arise? Compulsive metrication started by Edward Heath,
:23:18. > :23:22.abolished by Margaret Thatcher and we are in a halfway house. Would it
:23:23. > :23:28.matter if we lost our traditional units? We lose a living link to our
:23:29. > :23:33.past. Shakespeare, the pound of flesh, Chaucer. And the kilo of
:23:34. > :23:38.flesh doesn't scan as well. 0.454 kilo of flesh! That certainly would
:23:39. > :23:45.take the edge off the performance. The journey to making Britain metric
:23:46. > :23:50.has taken over 100 years. 100 years, is that metric or imperial? But we
:23:51. > :23:55.are still neither one nor the other. It's a bit of a mess, but it's our
:23:56. > :23:59.mess. Cheers, Arthur, I'm declaring The
:24:00. > :24:06.One Show imperial. I think its users. That's right. It's a bit
:24:07. > :24:12.random. Gyles, another super fun. Its historic, babies -- every baby
:24:13. > :24:17.is born in pounds. What are the facts do you have? I have facts,
:24:18. > :24:21.they create problems. In 1999, in the heyday of All Saints, a terrible
:24:22. > :24:28.thing happened at Nasa. They send a mission to Mars that all went wrong
:24:29. > :24:33.and cost, wait for it, $328 million. No! Why? Because the orbiter
:24:34. > :24:35.engineering of this mission, that team used imperial measurements,
:24:36. > :24:42.where the Nasa team were using metric measurements, so they overdid
:24:43. > :24:48.the impact and all that money went up in smoke. So basic. It went on
:24:49. > :24:53.for a long time. I take you back to the 1628, when the good ship Vasa, a
:24:54. > :25:00.Swedish man of war, set sail and some on its maiden voyage. 30 people
:25:01. > :25:04.drowned, 64 amazing Golden Kamensk sunk to the bottom of the sea. Why?
:25:05. > :25:08.We discovered in 1961, when the ship was brought up again port side
:25:09. > :25:14.rather heavier than starboard side. The reason being, asymmetrical, one
:25:15. > :25:19.team building it, the Swedes, wait using one ruler, whereas the Dutch,
:25:20. > :25:22.who also making the ship were using another ruler and the Swedish foot
:25:23. > :25:29.contains 12 inches, whereas the Dutch one has only 11 inches. Had a
:25:30. > :25:36.lean on it? It and the lean on it, it went down, all hands on deck.
:25:37. > :25:41.Remember 1492? Not personally. I do. Columbus ended up in the Bahamas. He
:25:42. > :25:47.thought he was going to India but unfortunately he was using Roman
:25:48. > :25:52.nautical miles instead of nautical nautical miles. Even Sir Christopher
:25:53. > :25:58.Columbus made a mistake. Exactly, you have to get it right. Gyles,
:25:59. > :26:02.thank you. You can now enjoy our All Saints performance which you are
:26:03. > :26:07.very excited about. Rat N'Diaye will be back on Monday, when Twiggy will
:26:08. > :26:12.be here. -- Matt and I. From this very imperial programme what better
:26:13. > :26:15.way to kick off Mark Rowley or weekend with a performance from All
:26:16. > :26:22.Saints, here they are with one-woman man. Goodbye.
:26:23. > :26:32.# This is getting crazy, tired of your playing
:26:33. > :26:43.# These lies are heavy, someone's gonna regret it
:26:44. > :26:50.# But I'm still waiting, back against the wall
:26:51. > :27:10.# Yeah you got me in the palm of your hands
:27:11. > :27:16.# You decide with your heart not your head
:27:17. > :27:22.# I know you can make her understand
:27:23. > :27:27.# Tell me are you ever gonna be a one woman man?
:27:28. > :27:33.# Few that shan't accept it, no doubt unintended
:27:34. > :27:48.# Two women committed, stupidly admitted
:27:49. > :27:51.# It's time you end it and just let her know
:27:52. > :28:11.# Yeah you got me in the palm of your hands
:28:12. > :28:22.# Tell me are you ever gonna be a one woman man?
:28:23. > :28:25.# Soaked with rotten beliefs # Filling with loveless seeds
:28:26. > :28:28.# Hitting with crashing waves # Tell her that it's too late
:28:29. > :28:33.# Cause I'm never walking away # My love is here to stay
:28:34. > :28:42.# Oh, didn't she hear me say # I ain't going no where
:28:43. > :28:48.# Yeah you got me in the palm of your hands
