08/06/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Bones.

Nice coat. I've been groomed especially for the night. I'm not

often allowed on the sofa. Shall we meet the guests? Here he is as Cam

in the brilliant Modern Family. Let's shake out our faces. That's

perfect. One, two, cheese! OK, great! OK, Mitchell, can I see you

over here? What is she doing with her face? I have never seen such a

weird smile. How do I look? Beautiful! Please welcome Eric

Stonestreet. Thank you for having me. We are big fans of Modern

Family. I loved it when you were watching, you were doing the actions

with your jaw! That is one of the treats about seeing yourself

afterwards, you are like, I remember that episode! A lot of people will

know you as Cam but how different are you to him? Quite a bit! I think

people are always surprised when they meet me in person, they seem to

think I'm sick or under the weather because I'm not as vivacious and

passionate as him so people ask me if I'm OK! Is it right that during

the audition you were channelling your mum? I still do that. I have

never played Cam is just a gay man, day is something he happens to be

and it certainly doesn't define him so I had to think of way do that and

keep myself in check. My mum is this funny, vivacious lady, a fun person

to be around so I put a bit of my mum in there. We know that you love

animals is welcome you grew up on a farm which also mirrors Modern

Family but later we would like you to put your voice to some of our

friends who are barking outside. That is a gentleman walking by! You

are happy to do that? Sure. Last night there was an online glitch

which prevented people from registering to vote in the EU

referendum. The deadline has now been extended until midnight

tomorrow. Of course, once you've

registered you've still got to decide which way to vote,

so Alex has been to meet some elite Clacton on Sea on the Essex coast.

Sandy beaches, appear and bowls! This might look like a polite

retirement activity. But today the gloves are off with a match that has

Britain's very few chip in the EU at its core bought stop all in white

and mostly wanting to leave the EU, Clacton's lawn bowls team. No

business! While three are definitely for out, their captain is undecided.

I need persuading that we have to come out. None of the politicians

have done that. In red and yellow from the Costa Blanca, Spain's

national lawn bowls squad, made up of British expats who want us to

remain in the EU although two cannot vote because they have lived abroad

for more than 15 years. Welcome to the Leave or Remain grudge match. It

is time to play bowls. Norman is old enough to remember a time before we

were in the EU. It is time we took back control of our justice system,

our borders and everything we do. We managed before we were in the EU and

we can manage outside. Norman is on fire. But for team Remain, our

expats like Lynn fit a vote to leave could spell the end of their life in

the Sun -- fear about. We have a wonderful lifestyle. The weather

wouldn't change! It would if we had to come back! They are worried that

things like reciprocal health care could disappear. It is an Merhi. I

had really good treatment last year when I had an accident --

Anne-Marie. The level of health care is brilliant. Are you worried that

would change? I would worried that the level of medical assistance we

would get would be greatly reduced. But fears from the NHS are accepted

by Pat from Clacton will be voting to leave. When you are phoning for

an appointment and you are offered three weeks, you think, I might be

dead by then! What is this all about? You should be able to go to

the doctors but because of the influx of people we can't do that.

Nationally, the vote Remain campaign agree a vote to leave could

jeopardise reciprocal health care while vote Leave say it won't. It is

neck and neck in the match. The tension is palpable. And after

health care, our experts fear for the economy, more specifically the

value of the pound in their pension pot. True for the Spain team. I

think that pound will crash, everybody has to agree with that. I

am not sure Felicity does. Being a former firefighter, my pension comes

to Spain and I will be getting less. I think that's not true, we have had

the pound the whole way through, we never went to the euro, it will not

have this huge drop and we will all have no pensions. David may still be

undecided but he is clear about one thing. All the experts, no matter

where you look, saying we will lose out economically if we come out. So

is undecided David edging close it -- a close to remaining? There is

the whole question of immigration and it could be keeping down wages

and everything. We need to put the number of the people we are taking

and you won't do that with the EU because they won't have it. After 20

nail-biting ends, it couldn't be closer, Spain have 15 and Clacton

have 14 and the whole game comes down to this final would.

I can't watch. It falls to the undiscovered skipper. Can he put it

back for team Leave or will team Remain win the day? It's a draw!

It was a fix! It is interesting, we call people who leave expats but

from the Spanish perspective they are immigrants. That's true. Our EU

guru Chris Mason is here with some snazzy glasses. We heard Lynn saying

she was worried that her health care would deteriorate in Spain if we

came out. And if we are travelling to Europe and need emergency care,

would that be effected? There is the European health insurance card, it

used to be the even 111 and that meant that you would get emergency

health care. The deal is that someone from Spain or France coming

here would get the same deal. The question is if that would survive if

we came out. There are some countries who are signed up to that

deal who are not even part of the EU and also the UK has deals with other

countries beyond Europe like Australia and Israel where that deal

applies even though it is beyond Europe. It doesn't necessarily mean

it would go if we left. Another interesting area is the free flight

space around Europe and whether flights would go up. For a huge

number of people, Europe meet a cheap flight, which have not been

around for ever, there has been a huge increase and prices have gone

down by 40% in the last 20 years. To give you a sense of how complicated

this is, you think that the person to ask is the boss of an airline.

The boss of Ryanair in February said he did not think it would make any

difference if we came out and last month he thought it might do. It is

not unreasonable to be a bit uncertain because it can depend on

the deal struck after we leave. One of the recent flights are cheap is

because you can get on an Irish airline like Ryanair and flight from

East Midlands to Rome because competition has driven down prices

but some say there is every likelihood that could continue if we

came out. Thank you very much. As Eric has found

with Modern Family, sitcoms don't just make us laugh -

often they also address One woman who knew that all too

well was ground-breaking comedy writer Carla Lane

who passed away last week. So, ahead of her funeral tomorrow,

we sent one of the Liver Birds back From the 70s to the 90s, young

women, trapped housewives and working-class families were given

voice by one incredible woman, Carla Lane. We didn't realise what we were

doing was different. And yet I go back to this funny little room and I

wrote. Liver Birds was quite unusual because girls had played

girlfriends, wives, sisters, but never two girls as Leeds. Carla

always said we were two halves of her, the feisty, working-class fun

one and the rather prim, repressive one, that was me! -- leads. You

think I will tell you how we went to the art galleries and cathedrals and

the park and having got that out of me you think I will tell you how he

has asked me to spend the night with him. Spend the night? I knew you

would drag it out of me somehow! One of the clever ways that Carla

wrote was to talk about things in the way that didn't offend. She

would say definite, strong things, and she used to come to every

rehearsal and be very strong about what she was saying but in a very

gentle way. We're not quite the same, are we? The way we speak for a

start. I do it with my mouth, I don't know about you! Her next big

success was Butterflies. In that, Ria, played by Wendy Craig, thick

trapped housewife. She had a wonderful and kind husband, two

sons, seemingly everything she wanted but she was not happy. She

wanted to get out. I'm Leonard. I'm Ria, Mrs Ria Parkinson. The first

sentence I wrote, I knew they must never go to bed, not ever. It was

very much Carla and whereas Ria sadly didn't achieve the freedom she

wanted, Carla did. I believed that most women felt trapped the way I

did. Carla left suburbia with Ria in Butterflies and came back to

Liverpool. And now we have the hugely successful and controversial

series Bread. The family had to get bye bye any means and this was

hugely controversial but also hugely successful. You have got to

transport that huge lump into the big world, only women can do that,

and couldn't give birth to a jelly baby! I don't think there is a

moment when you realise you are a writer, you just do it and you have

to do it. Carla was one-of-a-kind, strong and yet gentle and she wrote

beautiful, right, funny scripts. I was so privileged to be in the Liver

Birds and I will miss her. As a youngster come you don't know

anything about scripts or anything but you'll hear words and these

scenes and they effect your life. To this day, we have a chicken on our

table, like my mum and that have. Our pot one. Her work redefined how

women were portrayed on screen in the UK and Modern Family has done

the same for the three families in the series, especially with Cam and

Mitchell. Was that the plan from the beginning? I think when Steve and

Chris started to concede the show bidded not think they could create a

family show and not have a gay couple of some kind because it was

so much coming and had been for a while. Mitch and Cam were named for

a couple of their friends who I don't think were together but they

were both named for friends who both happens to be gay. It is an awesome

opportunity that we have and I've said from the beginning, all of us,

that our objective is to make people laugh. And you do. And what comes

with that is opening people's hearts and minds to new experiences and we

gladly accept that and take it seriously.

Creating characters that people believe in, and you have added parts

of your childhood? Because of this clown. Your character in the sitcom

plays him. This is part of your life, or was? A bloke I wanted to be

a clone in the circus as a child, I did not know I wanted to be an

actor. That is how I synthesised I wanted to be a performer. I am glad

my parents did not think I was a weird kid. Why would they think

that?! It was probably very confusing for my dad, I grew up on a

farm with pigs and cows, played football, did track and field, at

the age of nine I wanted to put on clown make-up, what is wrong with

that? I ride around the farmyard and the unicycle. Let's move on to The

Secret Life of Pets, the big animation film, it is all about what

pets do when the owners go to work. And you play a character called

Duke. Duke is homeless, unloved, then what happens? He comes into

Max's perfect little life, Max is a little Jack Russell terrier make

played by Louis CK. He has a great life going on, I don't blame him, I

would not want me coming in and messing up the happy home either!

Would I come in and there is unrest at the home. Let's see what happens

when Max frames Duke wrecking the apartment. What I doing?! Nothing. I

am accused little doggie, Katie knows I would not do anything like

this... -- I am a cute little doggie. This could only be the work

of a dangerous stray who has not laid down a foundation of trust. You

are the new dog. Duke, what did you go and do this for?

APPLAUSE It is a lovely film.

You can't help but smile. Did they show you a picture of that dog? That

is the first thing I saw, a picture of Duke. I didn't know they were

offering me the job. I had a really long, nice meeting with the person

who heads Illumination. He said, what do you think Western Mark I

said, sounds like a great idea, I can't believe nobody has done that.

He said, no, do you want to be in the movie? Of course! He told me all

about it, I thought I would hear later if they were interested. It

must be reared, thinking, are you just listening to my boys as I am

talking? -- it must be weird. It is a great company, people will love

the movie, it will make you want to go home and squeeze your pets and

tell them how much you love them. No body has ever said that before on

the One Show! We have a game with dogs coming up. It's going to be

great. LAUGHTER

It is! It is! The Secret Life of Pets opens in cinemas on June the

24th. At helping to put hundreds of

criminals behind bars, written's oldest policeman retired last week.

What happened?! Despite having already walked 50,000 miles on the

beat, Anita persuaded him to go round the block one more time. It

was his choice, don't worry! Back on the day, it was notorious.

Shooting, prostitution, drugs. It was easy to get caught up in it if

you were a resident. In the 1990s, the Hill Field area of Coventry had

a reputation for crime, and one man was in the middle. Who runs the

Empire now? I decided to become a police officer

to make a difference, I apply to join the West Midlands Police, they

foolishly accepted me. Until last week, he was Britain's oldest

serving policeman. Now he has retired. Barney joined the police

force at a time is of the mistress between the police in different

communities. It was a turbulent time? Yes. How did you feel, working

in a predominantly white police force? You can change from the

outside. You had to be in it to raise your voice. After 26 years of

walking the streets, I can safely assure you that Barney knows almost

everyone. Hello! This is the best sort of policing

you can get. How are you doing? Are you still

living in the same road? Engagement, communication, talking

to people. These to meet you, Barney Barnes. Community leader Paul has no

body for over a decade. What has he contributed? Here's a police

officer, that he has an affinity with talking to people in the way of

reach notes can -- reaching out to communities, especially those who

are sceptical. You had to be firm but fair. They will jump on any

weakness. Leave them in no uncertain terms that if they break the law,

they will be in trouble. This is one of the safest places in Coventry

today. Exactly. How does it feel that you

are lovingly known as the Sheriff of Hill Field? Somebody asked if I wish

the Sheriff, that is it. Tell me about Barney? Everybody knows him,

grew up with him. Have you had run-ins? He fancies my mum! He has

always kept me out of trouble, Tilbury to stay out of trouble. I

stayed on the straight and narrow, when I had slipped off the path he

has put me back on it. Good bloke, he is.

What has been your proudest moment? It must be being awarded the MBE. I

felt humbled inasmuch as praises not what I was looking for. Making

people's lives better. It is clear that Barney has had a huge impact on

Hill Field, that what has the area done for him? It has given me a

sense of purpose, it has made me proud. I wake up in the morning and

I want to come to work. But you have retired! I still wake up wanting to

come to work! He will be back volunteering! I

can't see anything with my blindfold.

Chaos is about to enter you. I am sure you can hear dogs barking.

Eric, we know you are a fine actor with a love of animals and comedy

improvisation genius. -- chaos is about to Duke. We think we have four

dogs in the studio, the production team have given three of the jobs

dogs during the day today. We will show one of the dogs, you will do

the boys and then Matt and I will try to guess which dog you are

voicing. We don't know... Basically, you will find a monitor somewhere,

do a voice, we will take the blindfold of fancy a free can match

the voice to the animal. Let's have the first one. -- and see if we can

match. Pay attention, we have a big day to day! You don't drink on the

job, I don't! What are you looking at? Moniker! Look at me! What the

heck is this over yet?! Oh, that feels good! Let's look at the dog

parade. Well... I know! Bull mastiff or Beagle? Will mastiff. I am going

Beagle. It was the Beagle. Yes! Trying to trick you. It sounded like

he was on a mission, like a little Sergeant. Let's have the second one.

Always, everyone. Let's just see what we have going on today. This is

a bit of editing. There is my monitor, this will be great.

Wonderful. Who has moved to... Who moved my keyboard? OK. I am going

the little husky. We have a terrier on the end. Jack Russell. Husky.

Husky. Yes! We have time for one more. We can't

see anything. OK everybody. Action! Very nice. That's a wrap, everyone.

I'm going bull mastiff. Love it! That is as much fun as I have had in

a long time. Brilliant game! Thank you to our friends, the dogs.

These dogs are currently being cared for by Dogs Trust and Battersea

Dogs' Home, if you are interested there is information on the website.

Things got pretty noisy in Yorkshire last month when sonic booms caused

by RAF aircraft left locals and homes truly shaken. It is not the

first and sonic rooms have been heard in Britain, and it won't be

the last. On the 29th of October 2014, the

usually quiet Kent countryside experienced a mysterious sound. It

was caused by two RAF jets on an emergency mission. They were flying

so fast that they broke the sound barrier, producing a centrist noise

called a sonic boom. But what happens to create such an

ear-splitting noise? I can demonstrate with a tub, some water

and a little boat. Something travels through the air, sound waves radiate

out from it in all directions, just like the water waves radiating out

from my little boat in my pond. As the speed increases, the waves at

the front gradually bunch up. Eventually you get one big super

wave, or wake. The same happens in the hour, when a jet travels faster

than the speed of sound. Just over 760 mph. The sound waves bunch up

behind the plane, forming a wake. When that passes over you... It hits

you with force. And that is a sonic boom.

This high-energy wave of sound slams through the air, creating the

enormous noise we hear on the ground. To show just how it does

this, I need some expert help. From the wild west of Wales, Peter

Gamble. He is not a fighter pilot, but a wizard with a whip. There is

message -- method to my madness, because the very tip of his whip can

travel at over 800 miles an hour. That is well over the speed of

sound. And that whip cracking sound you hear, that is a sonic boom. But

I don't want to just hear the sonic boom, I want to see it. That is

where this fancy piece of kit comes into action. It is a camera back and

pick up the slightest and sea movements are there. This man is a

specialist in using the camera to study sonic booms. It allows him to

take a picture and visualise -- visually show what this phenomena

looks like. Time to put it to the test. The camera is ready, the

computer is ready, where you go, Peter. Pete has Steve Beaton

millimetre precise so that the camera can capture its very tight --

very fine tip. What was that? I think we got something. That is the

tip of the whip, that is the shock wave. So this is the sonic boom? It

is. We got it, fantastic. By visualising the whip cracking at

such incredibly so -- slows beads, it is possible to show the force

exerted on the air. And this creates the classic loud bang of a sonic

boom. Thank you, Marty. There you are,

Eric, that was the One Show in a nutshell. I loved it! You covered so

much. We don't mess about, we are like the web, we crack on. Sonic

booms to politics to big oaks like me! Thank you to Eric for joining

us! The Secret Life of Pets opens in cinemas on the 24th of June. We will

see you tomorrow, have a lovely evening.
