08/08/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of One Show's Big Causeway

CHEERING It is absolutely beautiful. We got

in the car and we have been on some road trip, I tell you. California

eat your heart out. This is the very edge of Northern Ireland. Beautiful

colours on the left-hand side. Some of the best scenery we have seen. If

you want to book a holiday for next summer, this is it. We drove to this

gorgeous village in the heart of the nine Glens in Antrim. Today we are

in Cushendall. We have the organisers of a

wonderful festival. We are in The Heart of the Glens Festival. Thank

you for having us. It is a fantastic village you have got going on here.

The festival runs over eight days and it is very much rooted in the

community, Kieran? Very much so. This is one of the best community

festivals in the country. People are very proud of who they are. The

festival is a celebration of who we are. One of the lovely things about

the festival as it brings people together. Especially people from

this area throughout the world, they always come home to festivals. We

have never seen a festival so full. And you also squeeze some lorries

here. Indeed, 100 lorries and they raise money for the Macmillan

charity. We had a community parade which was every organisation here in

the community, a big colour, big noise, fantastic. We have great

children's events. Last night we had our sports events. What did you do?

I just watched! They are people, people, people and we will put them

to use right now. We have some fantastic guests on the show and we

will let the people of Cushendall introduce you. They are banned from

Dublin. The lead singer is called Danny. Bay have had five records.

They have a song called Superheroes! # You've been working every day and

night, superhuman... It is Danny from The Script, Mark

from The Script and Glenn from The Script! Welcome! You have never been

here before? We had never been here before and when we got the

invitation we said we had to come. We came across the Glens and it was

incredible. The most scenic drive you can get in the UK. Have you

tasted any of the food? There are some brilliant food stalls. Have.

And I had a jam sandwich. The bread was so delicious. It is soda bread.

It is called the Glens food Festival and Glenn is our drummer! You said

it is a fairy tale? Yes, looking at the mountains and the cheap, it is

like a fairy tale. You would never know this village was here. It is so

colourful and beautiful. It is like a massive rainbow.

CHEERING Actually, Danny, just down there is

a great butchers. It is called Fleshers and it is owned by this

colourful chap called Zippy. There he is. I tell you what, I have some

news for Zippy because apparently the sausage has lost its sizzle. So

Ricky went to test the UK's best sausages.

Banners frying in a pan is music to a cup's years. In fact, it is a

sizzling symphony. But according to one expert, it is a culinary

overture we are hearing less and less salt. It could be the secret to

how the diet. Tell me about this research. Sausages, the sizzle is

dying out. Why is this? If you go into the shops today, and you look

on the back of the packet, it will tell you the amount of meat in it.

They tend to be 70%, 80 or 90% meat. In the past, meat was very hard to

come by so they would have been 40 or 50% meat and the rest would have

been sellers and loads of moisture. So today our sausages have less

moisture in so they are less loud when you put them in the pan. So you

are saying the modern sausage, what we have done to it by making it

healthier has taken the sizzle out of it? That is right. Today we have

less of the bank and the moisture but it is healthier for us. -- less

of the bang. The loudest sausage is called the Kentish. It has a high

water content and it was from 1945. We have recreated it. That is 78

decibel or thereabouts. That is about as loud as a washing machine

and even louder than a vacuum cleaner? How loud is a backing

cleaner? About 60. The news that the sausage is losing its sizzle may not

go down well in Northern Ireland because they have always promoted

their bangers with proud. How do shoppers feel about getting less

bang for their buck and have they noticed? They do not bang any more.

They are probably healthier now. You are always conscious about what is

healthier. It is nice to hear that noise. They taste lovely. You want

the bang in your bank! Definitely, yes! I want to know where the

quietest sausages come from so the One Show was conducting an

experiment in an appropriate location. Welcome to a place called

Silent Valley in the heart of County Down. It is so-called because it is

incredibly quiet. The perfect place to fry up some sausages to see which

one will be crowned the quietest sausage in Britain. As you can see I

have some stoves, pans and sausages from all over the UK. It is time to

find out how much sizzle the sausages have got. In contention is

the pork and Apple, pork and leak and a sausage from Scotland. And one

of Northern Ireland's sausage supremos James Cunningham. James,

people tell me you are the man to see about sausages? We were

established in 1919 by my great grandfather so we hope we know about

sausages. You have an award winning sausage? Guest, this is our pork

sausage. We will find out Britain's quietest sausage. James and I are

busy on the pounds. Doctor Stewart takes the decibel readings and plots

the results. The results are written. In third place it is the

West country's pork and Apple. Second place is the Scottish one and

in third place, take it away Doctor Stewart. The quietest one and this

is not a fix at all, is one of your sausages, the pork, Chile and tomato

sausage. It is 69.7 decibel and that is because there is not a lot of

moisture in there. It is a lean sausage. Excellent, thank you very

much. A pleasure. You get to eat them now!

Well, we have got the winning sausage here and the man who created

it James Cunningham. Congratulations. But you have got

another accolade as well? We are currently the UK butchers shop of

the year. We were honoured to bring this very prestigious award back to

home in Northern Ireland. Would you like to try some award-winning

sausages? Absolutely. We thought because it is the quietest sausage

we would get the loudest person in our audience to taste it. So,

audience, what I am going to do is ask you to shout sausage at the top

of your voices. After three, one, two, three... SAUSAGE!

You were quite loud, well done. You were very loud. But to be honest

with you, nobody was ever really going to win over this person here,

because we are in the presence of greatness. Annalisa, tell everybody

at home what title you hold all stopped I am in the Guinness book of

records for the loudest shout in the world. What is the secret? The

secret is to have a twin sister who did it first and I was determined I

was going to beat her. Sibling rivalry? Firemen absolutely. You are

a teacher so that must come in handy. Yes but I would never shout

at the children! What would be your chosen catchphrase? It is funny but

the word I won it with was quiet. Thinking of children and getting

them to settle down. Stand-by in the sound department. Brace yourself and

shout the word quiet for us. QUIET! Wow, that was impressive. Very good!

Well, Northern Ireland is not just famous for its quite sausages, but

also for many other delicacies. We have a celebrity chef here. And

Danny said early on he had a jam sandwich. This is one of our

indigenous breads. We make them on an old riddle over a fire. This is

buttermilk and baking soda and flour. This is our potato bread.

Everybody said you have got to try some of Paul McIntyre's Rob and here

we are. This is eel. I will have to try some. It has a hand rolled

butter and Ross Bridge early. And we have the salmon from up the road. It

is a blaze. There is boiled up Albert flour cider. -- elderflower

cider. Why he is the butter on there as well. Because we are being

decadent. It is not every day the One Show comes! They are all

absolutely delicious. I was a bit scared of eel, to be honest. It is a

just a natural food. It is a bit like mackerel. It comes here. I will

try a little bit. Just down from here, there is a beautiful little

place with a gorgeous harbour and a very intriguing hotel. We are on a

tight schedule. We could not stop but Angela, Joe

and the DeLorean did. I am on a mission to explore some hidden spots

along the causeway Coast Road. And we are doing it in an appropriate

form of transport, the legendary DeLorean. Where are we off to today?

This is the island coast road and this is one of the most beautiful

stretches of highway in the entire lot world. Is it straight? Guest,

just put your foot down and along we go. Wings down and map in hand, it

is time to hit the road in style. Great Scott! It is a bolt of

lightning! Such a beautiful day. Look at the colour of that water.

Isn't it incredible? I love this part of the world. Angela. Would you

like to hear some facts about the Coast Road? You know I love some

facts. It goes from Larne right round to the dried's Causeway. There

are towns nestled at the foot of the majestic Antrim -- the Giants

Causeway. Back in 1861 a Scottish engineer wanted to connect all the

points. Until that point the nearest neighbour was Scotland. They went

along the coast and blasted through rocks to create tunnels so the roads

could link each little town. It cost ?37,000. By today's standards if

they did it now, it would cost ?370 million. You have got to love the

Victorians. I want to stop somewhere. I want a deep tour. I

know the very place. So we headed to the pretty fishing village of

Carnlough with its fascinating past. This hotel changed the course of the

Second World War. That sounds a bit far-fetched, even for Joe, but I'm

hoping the owner of the hotel, Denise O'Neill, can give us some

answers. The hotel was built by the Marchioness of Londonderry and in

1921, Winston Churchill inherited the Hotel from his second cousin.

Shortly after he sold the estate of which the hotel was a part and used

the proceeds of the sale of the estate to purchase charge well.

That's where he and his wife Clementine lived for the next 40

years -- purchase Chartwell. I guess that means he could have ended up as

Basil Fawlty rather than one of the greatest Brits ever. That is cause

for celebration, too early for champagne? The champagne has caught

my eye, what's the story? Churchill was born the same year that

champagne was created and he was an enormous fan. Every year he was sent

a case of champagne for his birthday and over his lifetime some 500 cases

of champagne and adopting the -- ended up with the Churchills. I'm

afraid there's no champagne. He also enjoyed champagne with a cigar and

I've brought one, we could post the big guy. Brilliant idea. But not for

you because you're pregnant! So, no bubbly for me and time to get back

on the coastal road. Toot toot! Thank you, Angela and Joe. You would

never believe those shots were from the UK. I know, we have been very

lucky with the weather. We have. There is the story of another

wartime hero from the Glens, in the shape of a pigeon. Paddy the Pigeon.

He was the quickest pigeon to carry messages back from the Normandy

beaches during the Second World War, so he received the Gherkin medal

which is the equivalent of the Victoria Cross for animals. Let's

watch the pigeon being awarded with his medal. Look at this footage,

back in the day! The most clever animal in Ireland, north and south,

to get the medal. The owner of the medal is here, in human form, not

pigeon for! This is Kevin Spring who I'm sure has never had a welcome

like that before. You are a pigeon fancier with a military past and you

have the medal here. The only medal ever awarded. Cabbie ever seen that

film footage? No, I'm delighted. Here it is. Why did you have this

medal? It came up for auction in Dublin. It is the only medal that

has been awarded in Ireland and the Australians and the USA wanted to

buy it. Very important for it to stay in Ireland and I was lucky

enough to go to the auction and bid the highest price. Adulation is an

thanks for bringing it in. We love Kevin! -- congratulations, thanks

for bringing it in. The Script, your fifth album, Freedom Child, the song

is called Rain. # Baby, when you're gone

# Rain, rain, rain down on me # Please drop this rain, rain.

# It's such a shame # Because baby, when you're gone all

it does is rain # CHEERING

They love it! It is a hit here. Which one of you wants to tell me

about the new album? The sound for us, Rain came last on the McCord. It

was a different sound for us. We wanted to flip The Script a little

bit and give something a little bit different. Did you say rip up The

Script? Flip The Script! We wanted to come back. People feel it is

totally different but if you listen to the words we are still talking

about heartbreak. We have this new album, Freedom Child, out on the 1st

of September. You can pre-order it now. Little plug! We've been off for

two years. What have you been doing? Just chilling at home. Making tea!

Doing DIY. I bought a house, so I got stuck in at home. Things you

never get the chance to do when you're on the road. We are

constantly touring and moving around so we never get to do normal things.

Just decided to do a little bit. How do you fit music around that? Do you

keep in touch over the break or is it better to stay apart? We took a

year. It going to be six months and we took a bit of an extended break.

I went through vocal surgery last January. Are you all right now? It

was very frightening to go through, being a singer but the more research

I did, I realised that acts like a Dell, Justin Timberlake. -- Adele.

All of the greats. Has it changed at all? I had to give up smoking. I was

stupidly smoking cigarettes while I was singing. Now my voice is clear

and the falsetto is even higher than it was before, hence the falsetto in

the song Rain. It is difficult to sing at 730 in the morning! Last

time we saw Danny it was on the Voice. Are you glad that he stopped

doing that and now you can focus on The Script or are you thinking it

was nice that he was out of your head for a bit? It was great for him

to do that but it is great to have him back and to be in the band.

Great to be back on stage. It was great seeing him but now, let's get

back to business. You're going to be on tour as well. Yes, for another

ten years! Are you? Kicking off next month, we're going to be trying to

do things backwards because the last show would have been Croke Park,

75,000 people in Dublin. This time we wanted to start more slowly,

doing some intimate events. On our website you can see where we are

playing locally. There aren't many tickets left. There will be even

less after tonight! The Women's World Cup of Rugby kicks off in

Dublin before moving to Belfast and England will be defending their

title along with 11 other countries including Wales and Ireland. Getting

the sport of women's rugby over the line has been a tough game in

itself. I am Maggie Alphonsi and I play in

the endless women's rugby team. We won the Six Nations a

record-breaking seven times. COMMENTATOR: It is Maggie Alphonsi,

Waterman! But no doubt the highlight for me

was winning the World Cup in 2014. England, the world champions. I've

come to Cardiff where just over 25 years ago the first ever women's

Rugby World Cup kicked off. I've since retired for the game but

it's fair to say that if it wasn't for these two women were about to

meet, the profile of women's rugby wouldn't be where it is today.

Players and rugby fanatic Sue Durrington and Debs Griffin put

their lives on hold to organise the first ever rugby women's rugby World

Cup. We had meetings after work, we would meet at the weekend. The whole

infrastructure was around volunteering but no matter how many

doors we knocked on, you know, we weren't coming up with the money we

needed to run the tournament. My money and no support from the rugby

authorities. We were summoned to the International Rugby board and I

didn't like the fact that we were holding a World Cup because the

men's World Cup was later that year and they didn't want us to go ahead.

They felt that we were the -- demeaning the World Cup. Rugby was

seen as a man's game. As a journalist it wasn't so much low-key

as subterranean, you know, it just wasn't on anybody's radar. Yes,

women playing 5-a-side football, but rugby was something else entirely.

Denied help by the rugby authorities in Englund, Scotland and Ireland,

the Welsh Rugby union threw them a lifeline. They offered to put on a

welcome ceremony, hosting a final dinner for us. The help they were

offering made all the difference which is why we came to Wales. 12

teams from all over the world eventually rocked up to rugby venues

across South Wales and the organisers were not the only ones

facing financial difficulties. The Russian team arrived without any

money. They brought a lot of vodka and started selling it on the steps

of the town hall. I was grabbing one of the few hours of sleep I got that

week and Customs and Excise knocked on the door to tell me that I had to

go and do something about it! Luckily the local business community

came to the rescue. They donated clothes, they donated money, they

donated food and they were able to take care of the Russians when they

were here. Incredible. From small beginnings in 1991, women's rugby

has made huge strides with over 2 million women and girls playing

worldwide. Wales' women's head coach knows that the game knows a huge

debt to the organisers. From those huge small macro -- from those small

elements of Hope we owe a lot to the pioneers who started this. But

organising and playing in the tournament took its toll. I had my

daughter in the November before the tournament, she was born with a

disability, which was tough. But I don't think I dealt with it at the

time, I just sort of parked it and got on with sending more faxes and

talking to people to get the World Cup working. That was tough and I

don't think I dealt with it until afterwards. I did go down and I

didn't really see anybody for six months, I didn't go out, I was

hiding away. How about you, Sue? Did it affect you? It did, actually. The

timing, I was training, training with England, it took a big toll on

my marriage. I was training for the women's Rugby World Cup, the first

ever and that was all in my sites and it took a toll on my

relationship and marriage and sadly it ended after the World Cup. It

would have been very easy for Sue and Deborah and those people to say

that it isn't going to work, we're going to lose money, forget about it

but to their credit, they stuck at it and it has gone from strength to

strength ever since. So, now then, England are playing Spain at TPM and

then we have Wales against New Zealand, 2:45pm, that's going to be

tough! -- at 2pm. And hosts Ireland taking on Australia at 7pm. Good

luck to all the teams. Especially Ireland! Trying to be diplomatic! We

all pretty much represented here. Sticking with sport, there are many

sports that are rooted in the landscape around here and next week

is the start of the Lurig Run. We have last year's winner here. This

is a mad race, tell us what happens here because it's unbelievable. We

run up the side of the mountain. As you do! Yes, because it's so steep,

men of the -- many of the runners go down it. It is 3.8 miles, you start

off in the village here and then we run up the lane and up the side of

the mountain. How long did it take you to run it and win it? Last year

I did just under 35 minutes. 35 minutes to do nearly four miles! Up

a hill. Superwoman! Thank you. And so are you prepared for next weekend

and how are you feeling? We'll see how it goes. I love it, it's such a

great race. Are you going to slide down bearing in mind what happened

last year? Go on, very quickly! A slight short malfunction on the way.

I didn't realise. It's a good story, Gillian. A dip in the sea to cool

off? As always, yes. Straight in the Dublin C. Good luck next weekend.

Now, then, this week we are going to give away souvenirs to our guests to

remember Big Causeway Crawl. All of them have been created by fine

northern ear -ish -- Northern Irish crafts folk. Dawn is going to be

creating your gift. The process begins with heating blocks of oil

until they are completely melted. The oils are extremely acidic and I

must add in some corrosive solution and it undergoes a process called

tracing, and the mixture will become safe for contact with the skin. I

add in some sea salt and split the mixture in half, adding seaweed

powder to the other half before mixing again and leaving for 24

hours. Now it has cooled, all that is left to do is cut its two size

and leave it on Iraq for a month to allow the excess oils to dry out --

leave it on a rack. A little bit of County Antrim for you. Here is the

finished product, soap, it is called Rain, which is perfect! You can

choose which one you fancy. Shall I take this as a hint? No, no! Thank

you very much. Share them out, not all for you! That is all for

tonight. We have to say a huge thank you to the people of Cushendall. And

thank you all as well, lads. And please remember, keep sending your

pictures and videos of what you're doing over the summer holidays. The

address is down there for you and we will show some of the best on

Friday. Ready to hit the road again? This is the map, this is where we're

going. From here where going to Ballycastle, the beautiful coastal

town. We will live the final word tonight for the loudest woman in the

world. Say goodbye! GOODBYE!
