:00:20. > :00:28.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones.
:00:28. > :00:34.Tonight we are joined by a terribly interesting fellow. He has won a
:00:34. > :00:42.pile of awards, so he is clearly clever. And as he is the Lord of
:00:42. > :00:51.West Stafford, he is a classy fella. The 80s Julian Fellowes. We got
:00:51. > :00:54.there in the end. Your whole new role has been to adapt
:00:54. > :01:01.Shakespeare's play, Romeo and Juliet, for the big screen. Romeo
:01:01. > :01:04.meets Juliet, he falls in love with her and asks her to marry him
:01:04. > :01:11.within minutes and it is almost like your story. To get it is true
:01:11. > :01:18.I met my wife Emma and I instantly knew she was the one I was going to
:01:18. > :01:25.marry. Why? It is my only psychic moment in my lifetime of being as
:01:25. > :01:31.psychic as a door. A thing went off in my brain and 20 minutes later I
:01:31. > :01:37.did propose. That is only because it took me 90 minutes to get up the
:01:37. > :01:43.nerve. I looked at her and I knew it was her. She did not think I was
:01:43. > :01:49.though one, she thought I was mad. I have been waiting two-and-a-half
:01:49. > :01:54.years! It is recognition at first sight. You recognise your
:01:54. > :02:01.lifetime's partner. If someone is making an equation between us and
:02:01. > :02:07.Romeo and Juliet, you know that we are not identical. How do you ask
:02:07. > :02:13.someone to marry you after just 20 minutes? Did you get down on one
:02:14. > :02:19.knee? I think I said something like, it will you marry me? Just a matter
:02:19. > :02:25.of fact. There is no point in not cut into the chase. She would not
:02:25. > :02:29.even give me her telephone number. Playing hard to get. She wanted to
:02:29. > :02:33.even give me her telephone number. get out of the room. We will be
:02:33. > :02:42.talking to Julian about his new adaptation of Romeo and Juliet
:02:42. > :02:47.later. And Downton Abbey as well. First, Tony Livesey meets a two
:02:47. > :02:51.young adults with autism whose lives have been transformed by
:02:52. > :02:56.having the opportunity to work. It is bright and early on Monday and
:02:56. > :03:00.having the opportunity to work. It 17 year old Zaid is getting ready
:03:00. > :03:04.for work. Getting ready for work in the morning is something many of a
:03:04. > :03:11.struggle with, but Zaid has an added difficulty, he is autistic.
:03:11. > :03:16.It is incredible that he has a job. 700,000 people in the UK have
:03:16. > :03:21.autism and a staggering 85% are out of work. Before he started his job,
:03:21. > :03:27.he had never been out on his own and relied on his parents to take
:03:27. > :03:33.him everywhere. Hello, we are off to work. How are we going to get
:03:33. > :03:42.there? On the bus. What time does it come? It will come around eight.
:03:42. > :03:50.You carry on eating. Before he got this job, how was his life? Is it
:03:50. > :03:58.was quite tough. He feels he can do a lot more than this and socialise
:03:58. > :04:03.as well. It is not only the job, he goes two different clubs now and it
:04:03. > :04:07.has improved his independence. Because Zaid's brain is different
:04:07. > :04:14.he needed help to get to work and was taught to memorise landmarks.
:04:14. > :04:19.The programme is also responsible for finding him his job at
:04:19. > :04:27.Nottingham City Hospital. What have you got on today? First I am going
:04:27. > :04:32.to sort out the files. Is it easy? It is easy, but all the files get
:04:32. > :04:38.mixed up and it is annoying. People do not put them back in order. His
:04:38. > :04:45.condition means he gets frustrated when things are not in order and he
:04:45. > :04:49.likes consistency. He works in the outpatients Administration
:04:49. > :04:54.Department, sorting out the files. Andy is one of the project leaders
:04:54. > :04:59.and he works closely with Zaid during the internship. What issues
:04:59. > :05:06.do you have dealing with somebody like Zaid? It is not particularly
:05:06. > :05:10.his issues, it is more around employers adapting to the needs
:05:10. > :05:16.that he requires in the job. He is very good with figures and numbers.
:05:16. > :05:22.If we can understand his skills, we can better place him. Her did you
:05:22. > :05:30.feel when you first started? I felt more responsible. Now I am getting
:05:30. > :05:34.really good at this. A as well as work experience, at the project
:05:34. > :05:40.gives interns lessons in how to cope with their conditions. It is
:05:40. > :05:41.not in Zaid's nature to join in the office chit-chat. It would not
:05:41. > :05:46.occur to his brain to do that. But office chit-chat. It would not
:05:47. > :05:52.with the help of Joanne, that hopefully it will change. Four
:05:52. > :05:56.years ago the Government passed the autism Act. However, there are
:05:56. > :06:00.still only a handful of schemes like this across the country. The
:06:00. > :06:07.project in Nottingham started 18 months ago and one of the success
:06:07. > :06:11.stories is Ryan. He has dyslexia and Asperger's syndrome. After
:06:11. > :06:16.completing his internship, he got a job at the hospital. I never
:06:16. > :06:22.thought I would be fit for this kind of role. I thought I would be
:06:22. > :06:28.back stage IT. But they have put me on frontline support and that
:06:28. > :06:33.shocked me. I had that in me to do it. What is it like having him
:06:33. > :06:40.around in the office? He has got a massive passion for IT. He came in
:06:40. > :06:45.with more understanding of I T than anybody expected. I believe that is
:06:46. > :06:51.the printer. That has helped him get to where he is now. So I was
:06:51. > :06:58.all over the place before the project came in. With Ryan and Zaid
:06:58. > :07:03.both at the hospital they can share their experiences. I make eye
:07:03. > :07:09.contact a lot more that I did at the start. I did it at first in
:07:09. > :07:17.ten-second bursts. As time has gone on, that has got a lot better. What
:07:17. > :07:24.would you say to Zaid? Get to know people and talk to as many people
:07:24. > :07:31.as you can. It is good advice. A It is good advice. His it all going
:07:31. > :07:37.in? It is going in the straight to my memory. I find myself at the
:07:37. > :07:42.centre of a genuine good-news story today. Zaid is getting out and
:07:42. > :07:46.about for the first time in his life, Ryan is interacting with his
:07:46. > :07:50.workmates and they have organised his 18th birthday party. These
:07:50. > :07:55.young people have not just found work, they are finding their places
:07:55. > :08:00.in the world as well. And good luck to Zaid with his new
:08:00. > :08:06.job. We need your help. Do you or your partner run a local shop? It
:08:06. > :08:11.might have been in your family for generations or a business you set
:08:11. > :08:17.up yourself. Are you open all hours like Arkwright and Granville. You
:08:17. > :08:24.did not do the impression. He did in the rehearsals. Go to our e-mail
:08:24. > :08:30.address and let us know. The adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. We
:08:30. > :08:35.so thoroughly enjoyed it. It is very accessible and you have
:08:35. > :08:41.changed a bit. But it is a weight on somebody's shoulders to adapt
:08:41. > :08:46.Shakespeare's work. You cannot think in those terms or you never
:08:46. > :08:51.leave your bed. We had a strong agenda. We wanted to make a new
:08:51. > :08:56.version for this generation that was very romantic and was shot in
:08:56. > :09:05.Italy against wonderful castles and palaces and so on, with wonderful
:09:05. > :09:07.costumes. There have been good versions, particularly Baz
:09:07. > :09:15.Luhrman's 1. That was the Last versions, particularly Baz
:09:15. > :09:22.Romantic one and we felt it was time somebody else did that. Beyond
:09:22. > :09:26.that we wanted it to reach over its the scholar level and bring the
:09:27. > :09:32.story to people who would not necessarily think they would enjoy
:09:32. > :09:37.Shakespeare. They would think it was OK at school, or whatever.
:09:37. > :09:42.There have been people saying, you must not a fiddle with it. But if
:09:42. > :09:46.we had made the fall three-and-a- half hour original play, we would
:09:46. > :09:52.not have got to them and that is what we are trying to do. It is
:09:52. > :09:58.still 80% Shakespeare. We have tried to keep in all the memorable
:09:58. > :10:04.speeches and phrases and exchanges all the way through. Nevertheless,
:10:04. > :10:10.none of it is opaque. Every part of the story is accessible and
:10:10. > :10:15.understandable. It is also quite relentless. We have taken a three-
:10:15. > :10:19.and-a-half hour play and it is in 90 minutes. This young pair of
:10:19. > :10:25.lovers are caught up in this thing and they cannot pull out, they
:10:25. > :10:29.hurtle towards their doom. It is almost as if it is on a stage in
:10:29. > :10:42.parts where you have got people coming on. Let's put your words
:10:42. > :10:52.into pictures. Never was a story more mournful than theirs, of
:10:52. > :10:58.Juliet and Romeo. I never saw a True Beauty Until this night. It is
:10:58. > :11:09.Romeo, the only son of our great enemy. Come battle with me, boy.
:11:09. > :11:23.Take this and drink until the last drop and there will be no sign of
:11:23. > :11:27.life. It is beautifully filmed. You have studied Romeo and Juliet at
:11:27. > :11:34.Cambridge. Did you know exactly what you wanted to do with it? I am
:11:34. > :11:38.thrilled with the movie, but I went through a very good school and I
:11:38. > :11:43.studied literature at Cambridge, but not everyone has done that.
:11:44. > :11:48.There are plenty of intelligent men and women out there who have not
:11:48. > :11:50.been given that equipment. I feel it is a shame to cheat them of the
:11:50. > :11:57.pleasure of Shakespeare's reverse it is a shame to cheat them of the
:11:57. > :12:01.by befuddling them. Lyndsay Johns spoke out in the Conservative Party
:12:01. > :12:05.conference last week and said there was too much dumbing-down of
:12:05. > :12:11.Shakespeare. Is it not better to entice a new audience to understand
:12:11. > :12:15.it? I do not want to sound as if he does not have the right to his
:12:15. > :12:18.opinion, because he does. Shakespeare scholars will be
:12:18. > :12:24.shocked we have tampered with anything. I believe people have a
:12:24. > :12:30.right to see it and enjoy it. The one thing I do not understand his
:12:30. > :13:03.right to see it and enjoy it. The or less since
:13:03. > :13:16.You know the ending, but you are still crying. The whole love of
:13:16. > :13:20.Romeo and the surrogate father role in the lives of the friar is all
:13:20. > :13:23.Shakespeare, but the actor has put that story into it, which makes it
:13:23. > :13:28.Shakespeare, but the actor has put very moving at the end and adds
:13:28. > :13:34.another layer to it. It is in cinemas from next Friday. So some
:13:34. > :13:38.of the world's most distinctive and controversial airports, train
:13:38. > :13:43.stations and skyscrapers have been designed by Lord Richard Rogers.
:13:43. > :13:47.Arthur Smith has been to meet the man who is it in his 85th here and
:13:47. > :13:59.is still coming out with jaw- dropping architecture.
:13:59. > :14:07.Richard Rogers, Lord Rogers, has just had his 80th birthday and he is
:14:07. > :14:10.still hard at work, proving again and again that he is one of the most
:14:10. > :14:13.influential architects in the world. Some iconic work, the millennium
:14:13. > :14:19.Dome, Lloyds in the city, terminal Some iconic work, the millennium
:14:19. > :14:24.five at Heathrow. He is a campaigner, too. Look at this, a
:14:24. > :14:29.low-cost, flat pack house you can put up in 48 hours, an idea for
:14:29. > :14:35.tackling the current housing shortage. And the Royal Academy are
:14:35. > :14:39.putting on a special exhibition to celebrate his birthday. Today he is
:14:39. > :14:45.showing his wife around. She is an award-winning, too, with a Michelin
:14:45. > :14:50.starred restaurant. I don't think one realises what 1's age is. People
:14:50. > :15:00.say, when are you going to retire but I say, I enjoy what I do. There
:15:00. > :15:07.is one thing he says that is more important than designing. Passionate
:15:07. > :15:11.about a large family, 12 grandchildren, five sons and so on.
:15:11. > :15:15.That keeps me young and I have a very young wife, that keeps me
:15:16. > :15:19.young! Richard did not do well at school, the teachers thought him
:15:19. > :15:25.stupid. Years later he found out the problem was severe dyslexia. Now I
:15:26. > :15:28.had something that I could hang my hat on, it did not make any
:15:28. > :15:34.difference but it was good to know what it was called. It might explain
:15:34. > :15:38.this report, he lacks the equipment to translate feelings into sound
:15:38. > :15:42.building, his designs will continue to suffer while his drawing is so
:15:42. > :15:49.bad. I have a team of people who can do things like Ike -- that I can't
:15:49. > :15:54.do, like spell. Lord Rogers' first landmark was the Pompidou Centre in
:15:54. > :15:58.Paris in the 1970s. It wears its insides, like escalators and pipes,
:15:58. > :16:04.on the outside. It was radical, you love it or you loathe it. When the
:16:04. > :16:08.building was completed, I remember sheltering on a rainy day. A woman
:16:08. > :16:12.said, do you want to come under my umbrella? I said, thank you. She
:16:12. > :16:16.said, what do you think of this building? Stupidly, I said I am the
:16:16. > :16:20.architect and she hit me on the head with the umbrella. Among his regrets
:16:20. > :16:23.architect and she hit me on the head is the number of commissions he lost
:16:23. > :16:29.after the Prince of Wales called them carbuncles. I think all great
:16:29. > :16:36.architecture and all great art is modern in its time. Christopher Wren
:16:36. > :16:42.spent 40 years building Saint Pauls and the buildings kept on being
:16:42. > :16:47.turned down. He got so fed up with the last one and he was in his 70s,
:16:47. > :16:51.he built a fence so that nobody could see it until it was built.
:16:51. > :16:57.This is nothing new and Christopher Wren was modern in his times. How
:16:57. > :17:01.does he keep going? We stop, we are really good at stopping. We both
:17:01. > :17:08.work really hard but we know when to stop. We have been in Italy and
:17:08. > :17:14.France and Greece, we stop and come back and can't wait to start working
:17:14. > :17:16.again. He looks pretty fit. He is really fit, he walks come he swims
:17:16. > :17:21.again. He looks pretty fit. He is comedy bikes to the office every
:17:21. > :17:26.day, he bikes everywhere -- he swims, he bikes. Lord Rogers has
:17:26. > :17:31.made and continues to make his distinctive mark on Britain. This is
:17:31. > :17:36.Lloyds, again hated at first but now at the heart of the city. And listed
:17:36. > :17:43.grade one, an accolade he shares with the works of Christopher Wren.
:17:43. > :17:47.Over the road, Lord Rogers' latest baby, the Leadenhall building. It
:17:47. > :17:52.has already been nicknamed the cheese grater because of its wedge
:17:52. > :17:55.shape. And around it, a hoarding, maybe not unlike the one that
:17:55. > :18:03.Christopher Wren put around Saint polls. 80 years old -- around St
:18:03. > :18:10.Paul's. 80 years old, he remains focused on the bigger picture. As
:18:10. > :18:15.the ancient ode says, I hope to leave the city more beautiful than I
:18:15. > :18:23.arrive. That is at the heart of what I hope to do. Just as well he is
:18:23. > :18:27.still working with 12 grandchildren! It is not just Lord Rogers who has
:18:27. > :18:33.saved negative reviews. -- who has received. Absolutely not, most of
:18:33. > :18:39.our famous buildings have been savagely received. Take the Eiffel
:18:39. > :18:44.Tower, built in 1889 as a celebration, a commemoration of the
:18:45. > :18:49.French Revolution. Above 900 feet, it was the tallest structure in the
:18:49. > :18:53.world. And people reacted with horror. Local residents took out
:18:53. > :18:57.lawsuits against Gustave Eiffel, because they thought it was going to
:18:57. > :19:03.topple over or attract lightning. It has been hit by lightning, to be
:19:03. > :19:09.fair. A whole group of famous musicians got together to announce
:19:09. > :19:15.it a useless and monstrous tower. Arguably he happy last laugh because
:19:15. > :19:20.it attracts over a year. I don't look at it and think it is
:19:20. > :19:28.beautiful. I am impressed by it. I love the Eiffel Tower but you have
:19:28. > :19:32.to remember that the area is entirely dominated by the Eiffel
:19:32. > :19:35.Tower. You can imagine if you lived in Belgrave Square and somebody put
:19:35. > :19:37.the Eiffel Tower in the middle, you would be a bit ratty. What about
:19:37. > :19:45.Barcelona? The Sagrada Familia is would be a bit ratty. What about
:19:45. > :19:51.often called Gaudi's church but he was actually the second architect to
:19:51. > :19:57.work on it. Picasso absolutely hated it. George Ola said it was one of
:19:57. > :20:00.the most hideous buildings in the world and suggested it should have
:20:00. > :20:06.been blown up in the Spanish civil war -- George Orwell said. We should
:20:06. > :20:08.bear in mind it is still not finished, it should be finished in
:20:08. > :20:15.bear in mind it is still not 2026 in time for the Saint Nery of
:20:15. > :20:17.Gaudi's death. I always remember somebody said, lie heavy on him and
:20:17. > :20:22.Gaudi's death. I always remember earth for he laid many a heavy load
:20:22. > :20:28.on the. I don't think anyone gets away scot free. Certainly not the
:20:28. > :20:35.National Theatre watch was built in 1976, which still raises blood
:20:35. > :20:39.pressure. They made a mistake at the time in thinking concrete had life
:20:39. > :20:44.in a building material, it had no life, it doesn't mature into
:20:44. > :20:53.anything. It is built of dirty old concrete. Who would have thought it?
:20:53. > :21:00.Thank you. Next night, Mike Dilger is on the hunt for Britain's biggest
:21:00. > :21:07.fish. Instead of packing his fishing rod and tackle, he packs one of
:21:07. > :21:10.these and a pan scourer. The Isle of Man is a hotspot for the
:21:10. > :21:20.largest fish to visit British waters. Weighing up to eight tonnes
:21:20. > :21:26.and as much as ten metres in length, the basking shark can reach the size
:21:26. > :21:29.and weight of a double-decker bus. Armed with its window cleaning --
:21:29. > :21:36.this window cleaning pole and a pan scourer, I am going to be helping
:21:36. > :21:40.marine biologists with their research work into this endangered
:21:40. > :21:46.and often misunderstood shark. I am off out onto the Irish Sea with
:21:47. > :21:51.members of the Manx basking shark watch. Basking sharks have been in
:21:51. > :21:56.long-term decline so finding out population levels is essential. Our
:21:56. > :22:01.best guess, looking at genetic data, is that there are between 6000 and
:22:01. > :22:05.8000 left worldwide and that is all. We are trying to find out as much as
:22:05. > :22:08.we can scientifically about the animal. If you don't know what you
:22:08. > :22:13.have got, you don't know what you will lose, you don't know how
:22:13. > :22:17.precious this is. We are tagging them, doing individual passports for
:22:17. > :22:23.individual animals. Basking shark passports, that sounds intriguing.
:22:23. > :22:29.It is so we can identify the individual animal again. They start
:22:29. > :22:33.by taking photographs of dorsal fins to recognise individual animals, but
:22:33. > :22:40.they are also collecting DNA samples. They do that in a bizarre
:22:40. > :22:45.way. Remember the window cleaning pole and pan scourer? This is a
:22:45. > :22:49.vital tool for the next stage of the basking shark's passport. You are
:22:49. > :22:55.going to have to explain. Some years ago, a colleague in Ireland was
:22:55. > :22:58.close to a basking shark and the tail caught the boat. He noticed
:22:58. > :23:04.this black slime on one of the ropes. Being a clever guy coming he
:23:04. > :23:10.scraped it hampered it in a jar and sent it to the University. Sometime
:23:10. > :23:17.later they discover that this had DNA in it. The boat is allowed to
:23:17. > :23:21.pass close to the sharks as part of a scientific license. Even though
:23:21. > :23:25.the sharks travel at three miles an hour, getting alongside them is
:23:25. > :23:29.tricky as they are constantly feeding on the moving plankton, so
:23:29. > :23:37.it is anyone's guess where they will appear. There it goes, 200 metres
:23:37. > :23:43.away. Oh! There are two there, look at the size of that!
:23:43. > :23:45.Just seeing one basking shark is marvellous but two together is
:23:45. > :23:55.Just seeing one basking shark is pretty amazing. Look at that! Oh!
:23:55. > :24:00.Now it is down to me to see if I can get a DNA sample from at least one
:24:00. > :24:06.of them. Just missed. If the huge tail flips
:24:06. > :24:20.out of the water, I could be swept off the boat. Don't go down, don't
:24:20. > :24:30.go down. I think I have got a swab. I got DNA! Thank you very much! Not
:24:30. > :24:34.a huge amount, but I got some! See that slime on there, that is DNA
:24:34. > :24:41.from a basking shark which I have just managed to get. Absolutely
:24:41. > :24:44.chuffed to bits. These hard-won samples are sent to
:24:44. > :24:47.the University of Aberdeen for analysis, in the hope it is going to
:24:47. > :24:52.give Jackie further information about these individuals. We are
:24:52. > :24:56.hoping to find out whether our sharks that we have got here are the
:24:57. > :25:03.same as the ones in north-west Scotland and Ireland and France, or
:25:03. > :25:07.whether they are slightly different. Early results back are showing that
:25:07. > :25:11.it looks like these basking sharks are distinctly different to others
:25:11. > :25:17.found around the Irish Sea, and they could be returning to this spot year
:25:17. > :25:21.after year. I never knew that taking DNA samples of basking sharks could
:25:21. > :25:26.be so exciting. Let's hope these passports continue to ensure that
:25:26. > :25:31.these gentle giants graced the seas around the Isle of Man the
:25:32. > :25:36.generations to come. I would have loved to have done
:25:36. > :25:44.that. It was fantastic, congratulations. Onto Downton...
:25:44. > :25:47.People were up in arms on Sunday because one of the most favourite
:25:47. > :25:54.characters, Anna, was assaulted. Quite a dark storyline. Of course it
:25:54. > :25:59.is dark and it is very serious. It is more reflective when you love the
:25:59. > :26:03.character who is attacked. I feel it is legitimate within the Downton
:26:03. > :26:07.way, you don't see much but what we examine are the results of this
:26:07. > :26:15.attack and that is an's story for the rest of the series. A great cast
:26:15. > :26:24.and a great choice. A very attractive, nice man. I wasn't going
:26:24. > :26:28.to say that at it does help. It makes the danger clearer. You think
:26:28. > :26:33.you are going to be able to identify someone who will attack you, but of
:26:33. > :26:36.course you are not. The show is a global success, especially in the US
:26:36. > :26:41.where they are eagerly awaiting the next series. Did you know there is
:26:41. > :26:46.actually a whole course that you can do at a college in America, all
:26:46. > :26:52.about Downton Abbey? Are you serious? Camden County College in
:26:52. > :26:57.New Jersey has launched a new course, it is called Downton Abbey:
:26:57. > :27:04.Life In A Country House. Why haven't I been given an honorary degree? You
:27:04. > :27:07.can ask that question because the course director, Professor Ellen
:27:08. > :27:12.Hernandez says they have such a good response with approximately 60
:27:12. > :27:17.people signing up, it is more successful than ever, she joins us
:27:17. > :27:22.live from New Jersey. I am so excited. We know that the course has
:27:22. > :27:28.gone incredibly well but there are a few questions that your students
:27:28. > :27:33.need answered. Yes, hello. Hello, Julien. I am here with some of my
:27:33. > :27:38.students. The class is going great. We had some questions that came up
:27:38. > :27:45.and I would like to pose them. I would like to ask, within a house
:27:45. > :27:52.like Downton Abbey, what would be the difference between a cook and a
:27:52. > :27:57.chef, and why different titles? A chef would be male in those days.
:27:57. > :28:04.Some houses did have chefs, but not all of them. Some houses had chefs
:28:04. > :28:07.and under chefs. When you are writing a show like Downton Abbey,
:28:07. > :28:11.you have to limit the number of people you are trying to service in
:28:11. > :28:15.a narrative sense. There would have been six or eight footmen but we
:28:15. > :28:22.couldn't find stuff for eight, so we have limited it to two and we have
:28:22. > :28:28.one cook. Let us squeeze in one more question, please. We wanted to know
:28:28. > :28:35.if it was purposeful for you to make the two conniving servants, Thomas
:28:35. > :28:41.and O'Brien, smokers? No, I think they made them smokers. I just made
:28:41. > :28:46.them nasty. There is no link between conniving and smoking? We will have
:28:46. > :28:48.to leave the transatlantic lecture. All the best, thanks for joining us.
:28:48. > :28:56.Thank you to Julien Fellowes, Romeo All the best, thanks for joining us.
:28:56. > :29:02.and Juliet is out on Friday. Tomorrow, Helen Fielding joins us
:29:02. > :29:02.along with Graham Norton. CU just before 7:00pm.
