08/11/2013 The One Show

Hello, welcome to The One Show with Fearne Cotton. And Chris Evans. We

will cram in entertainment. We have Beatles exclusives, Beatles reunions

and the Rickshaw Challenge 2013. We have this man, Mr Bryan Adams is

here! Come in, Bryan. Come on over. We will interview on the sofa. Take

a seat. Welcome to The One Show. It is lovely to see you. And you. Happy

birthday for Tuesday. We have got a Beatles themed night and you have

performed with Sir Paul McCartney previously. A long time ago, but

yes. We have a picture, a wonderful moment of many rock stars on stage

together. That was the Princes trust, I thinking 1986. There is

Paul, Mick, David Bowie, and... And some other dude. Mark King. He will

be watching on the Isle of Wight. Hello, everyone. Was that a moment

of all for you question mark Totally, it was brilliant, a great

moment. The crowd could not believe it. Bryan is here for a very special

reason which we will talk about later. As you may have heard on

radio two this morning, we are searching for Beatles fans, not just

any fans, all people the Fab Four personally dedicated songster during

Pop Goes The Beatles, a weekly radio show in 1963. 50 years on, many of

them heard the call and are here today! OK, our Beatles fans. We have

an exclusive treat for you guys today. For all you lovely people and

you at home, a look at a new Beatles video, Words Of Love, specially

commissioned by Paul and Ringo. Do you want a quick tease? Here we go.

That was too much! We don't want to spoil you! Time to catch up with

Team Rickshaw, who had an early alarm clock this morning at the

Giant's Causeway. Where are you now, Matt? Hello, I am on the ferry but

the question is, is the rickshaw? You will have to keep watching to

find out. Children In Need is not just about supporting the children,

it is about supporting the whole family and that is what this year's

challenge is all about because our riders are mainly the parents and

their children. As you said, it started first thing this morning, 60

miles north-west of where I am standing about 15 hours ago. To be

honest with you it feels like last week! This is what the Giant's

Causeway looks like a 4:30am on a Friday and look what I found, Team

Rickshaw. Morning! Let's get going. Three, two, one, yes! Go on, Martin.

It feels good to get going. At 4:30am this picturesque landmark

is, well, not quite visible. We can see that Giant's Causeway is

supposed to be very pretty. It is at the bottom of a massive cliff and

now there is a steep incline. For the next half an hour, for Martin,

it will be tedious. Formed with only one fully formed Lynn, his right

leg, he faces a challenge to ride and steer the rickshaw. Give us an

idea of how you can cycle this? I can control the bike and work the

brakes and gears. The hills are so steep we have to get off our bikes

to help. You have done first-class. How are you feeling? All right.

Awake? Definitely. Get in the van, get warm. Time for Martin's partner

to get in the saddle. Here is my second hill experience on a

rickshaw. This is more steep than the first one. I am turning my legs

and hoping to get to the top at some point soon. Battling against the

terrain we ride until dawn. The support for Team Rickshaw in

Northern Ireland was heart-warming. With the local parish coming out

early doors to give donations. All the children raided their piggy

banks. That is so amazing, thank you so much.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Next up on the rickshaw, the turn of

Daniel and his mum Carol from Derbyshire. Come on, mum. Daniel

suffered from meningitis at 14, spending about a year in a

wheelchair. His mum feared he would never walk again. What are you

thinking, watching him up here? I think he's doing really well. He

will not like the hill, they will have to talk through it. Exactly.

Your life was turned around, when he was 14? You can't believe how your

life can alter overnight and for Daniel to be otherwise he was, it is

just unreal. But we are here and he is doing this and hopefully raise

money for the charities that help other people who are in a mess. You

are still smiling! So please, please, please, text to donate.

Uneventful day, to say the least and these were the scenes just a few

moments ago -- and eventful day. Martin is cycling the rickshaw with

Alex by his side. It started with that pair and it has finished with

them. It has been totally exhausting but Team Rickshaw are on target,

on-time and on this ferry from Northern Ireland to Scotland. Join

us very shortly because I am going to get the riders and rickshaw on

the deck and you will see a very interesting way that we have come up

with of getting across the water because the rickshaw never stops

peddling. Come back and see as soon. Good looks, Matt. More later. The

running total you have raised so far is wonderful, ?154,793! Very good!

Thank you, thank you if you have donated. Please put your money where

their pedals are on to donate if you can. Bryan, do the honours. Take out

your mobile phone and text the word TEAM to 70705. ?5 will go to

Children In Need. For full terms and conditions and to donate any amount

you like, visit bbc.co.uk/pudsey. Well remembered! Brilliant. In a

moment we will talk to Bryan about special projects which comes to

fruition this Monday. It is Armistice Day and the reason many

others are wearing poppies. What is the story behind the poppy? Here is

Mike. When it comes to War and remembrance

there is just one flower that stands out. The poppy. Every year, millions

of these are sold to remember those lost in battle. During World War I

the poppy was the one flower that grew amongst the devastation.

Inspiring one soldier to write a famous poem. Helen Hill is the head

of remembrance for the Royal British Legion. It all started about 100

years ago when John McCrae, a Canadian Army medic, lost a friend

in battle and sat down the next day rather sadly and wrote a very famous

poem called in Flanders Fields, which begins in Flanders fields to

poppies blow between the crosses row on row. The Royal British Legion was

formed in 1921 and adopted the poppy as a symbol of remembrance and hope.

This is the poppy that everyone recognises today but you have the

most amazing, beautiful poppy, one of the first made? It is from the

early 1920s and botanically it is quite correct. Lovely though it is I

have to say this slightly trumps it for me because this is oppressed

poppy from Flanders and it says, picked on Flanders battlefields,

1917, bike W Pond. That is remarkable. His daughter kindly gave

it to us, it was found in his pocket, when he he was hit by

shrapnel, but he survived the First World War and lived on to become a

father and grandfather. Why do the flowers bloom after all the carnage

and what is the story here in Britain? Famous for its wild

flowers, this farm in Kent is one of the best places to see many of the

species of poppy we have in the UK. They are encouraged to grow by the

manager, Richard, and the time to see them is in the summer. What is

it about poppies and battlefields that always seem inextricably links?

Poppies are great survivors and opportunists and produce vast

amounts of seed, which can live for many decades in the soil 50 or 60

years, until the ground is disturbed which brings the seeds to the

surface, then they will germinate and flour. In battles in the First

World War when you have the tremendous bomb damage, poppies took

advantage of that best base to come up and do what they do. There are

eight species of wild poppy in the UK, two are truly native. Some

arrived in Britain thousands of years ago. The rough, opium, common

poppy we are so familiar with. Most poppies are resilient plants that

have pushed through plants and over competition, but there are also some

tender species that prefer a more solitary existence. This is prickly

poppy and I am chuffed to see it because it is incredibly rare. It is

only found in the south-east of England and chalk and it can't stand

to petition, which is why it is growing on its own. You will also

notice as well there are no petals whatsoever on the plant because it

flowers first thing in the morning and by midday all the petals have

fallen off. Time-lapse cameras were set up to record this morning

event, as this is the only time this flat plants -- as this is the only

time this plant will flower in its short life. It will then spend just

a couple of hundred seeds, unlike the common poppy, which distributes

as many as 60,000. It is hard to imagine any single plant that has

such strong symbolism and imagery associated with it as the common

poppy. But knowing what to do now about what a tough -- but knowing

what I do now about what a tough survivor this is, it is the perfect

choice. A great film and much tougher to

grow than you might imagine, poppies. I have tried, they are

tough, I tell you. Corporal Simon Brown -- Corporal Simon Brown joins

us. Welcome to the show. Bryan, we want to talk about this new, special

project you have got on the go. Tell us about it. Five years ago we

started doing photographs of wounded veterans coming back from Iraq and

Afghanistan with the idea that perhaps it would be an exhibition.

It was brought to me by a journalist called Caroline Frogatt, who is the

co-author of the book, and we didn't really think it was going to be a

book. We didn't know what would happen. It was around the same time

that Help for Heroes was starting off, there was a movement with

helping veterans coming through. Here we are five years later and we

have this book finished, called Wounded: The Legacy Of War and we

have Simon one of the subjects of the book, and he can you about it

but it comes out on Monday, Remembrance Day, the perfect time.

Simon, tell us about your story. I became a candidate in Iraq in 2006,

I went in to rescue six colleagues, got them out and sniper picks me off

on the way out. A bullet went in my left cheek and came out my right

cheek and ruined my Wednesday ExCo back -- and ruined my ex -- and

ruined my Wednesday! I did not realise how badly injured I was. I

woke up in Birmingham three weeks later to the news I have lost my

left eye completely. I was only having 20% vision in my right eye,

so a dark time. Of course. How did you get involved with Bryan and the

book? They got in touch with me. My name came up. The next thing I know

I am sat in the kitchen with Bryan Adams stood behind me, doing some

pictures. How good is that? ! To turn injuries like this on their

head almost, because in the past certain people and organisations

have tried to keep this kind of thing quiet. You have done the

opposite, haven't you? On Remembrance Day we bow our heads to

the fallen but I think we need to pay attention to the people who are

alive and that is the object of this book, to give more awareness to the

wounded soldiers. How was it looking through the book afterwards, after

you saw the project is completed? It was amazing, we have been treated

with respect by Bryan which made us more comfortable during the

photography and you look at every picture. It tells a story that you

don't really see. It is graphic. There are serious injuries and

scars. With the way the pictures are taken, with the sidelines, you

realise these are people. We where the scars, they don't wear us. I am

proud to be part of the project. I am hopeful about what it will open

up to the rest of the country and the world. Bryan, what did you learn

from the whole project? Every time someone came in, it was someone who

couldn't speak or couldn't walk or couldn't see. That youngster right

there, he is only 19 years old, lost both his legs and one arm. You learn

to deal with people that have serious disability, and that only

happens from actually having the experience. In some ways, I look at

the book now and I wish I had had that experience before going into

it, but how would you ever? Working with these guys was fantastic. Aside

from the serious nature of the book, there was a lot of humour and these

guys have great camaraderie. The other thing about most of these

chaps, when they come back, they have to deal with another battle,

which is dealing with their new lives as wounded soldiers, and we

must remember, and that is a big part of why the book is here.

Remember the wounded. Round of applause!

APPLAUSE Thank you so much for sharing your

story. Wounded: The Legacy Of War will be

released on Armistice Day, and the proceeds will be shared between five

charities. Now, it is Jay time, with an awesome treat. Marshmallows!

Roasted over a fire or put into hot chocolate, the marshmallow is a

sweet that goes with a roaring log fire and a mug of cocoa. Genevieve

Taylor is the Queen of marshmallows. She says we have been missing out on

the home-made version for far too long. Mass produced marshmallows,

anything wrong with them? No, I love them and my kids love them. I just

find the flavour a bit 1-dimensional. Somebody might look

at this and think, I can't make this at home. Visit complicated? It is

dead simple. It is egg white, gelatine and boiling sugar syrup.

The water and sugar are boiled in a pan until it becomes hot and syrupy.

In a separate bowl, egg whites are whisked up until stiff. The mixture

is whipped at high speed, and when it is smooth, we add some softened

gelatine. The marshmallow mix goes into a team to set, but I can't wait

that long, and grab some she made yesterday. Immediately, you can see

the texture is different. It's much lighter. It is almost a puff of air

in your mouth. Marshmallows are not a modern invention. The ancient

Egyptians used that the treat wounds and soothe sore throats.

Marshmallows were made using the sap of this plant, the marshmallow

plant. It still grows naturally in parts of the UK today. In the 19th

century, French confectioners gradually replaced the fiddly

marshmallow plant with more convenient and cheaper ingredients,

making more similar sweets to the ones we know today. But now people

like Genevieve are pushing marshmallow flavours even further. I

have done them with fruit, some with some alcohol. Is there a limit to

what you can do flavour wise? Bacon flavour? Identity while that

wouldn't work. We could give it a try. Do your best! We added finely

chopped the of bacon to sugary marshmallow mix. How will it taste?

Bacon marshmallow. Now, I think that is something the world has been

waiting for. Nice. You can definitely take the bacon. It is

that combination of salt and sweet that works quite well. You thought

it was going to be horrible, didn't you? I thought it would be odd. So

convinced am I buy my gastronomic invention, I am trying it out on the

real connoisseurs, some Bristol Scouts. It is believed the tradition

of toasting marshmallows over a campfire started with the Scouts in

America, but they have never had bacon flavoured ones. That is really

nice, actually. It is quite savoury but sweet. How would you describe

the taste? Strange. A bit weird. I'm not so sure, but thank you to Jane

and to Oonagh. Derry hungry Beatles fans here as well. I have made

old-fashioned marshmallow teacakes. They have maple syrup in and dark

chocolate. And Oonagh, what have we got here? Bryan Adams inspired

summer of 69 marshmallows. Can I take those home? Hopefully, Fearne

will bring those home. Don't miss Children in Need Rocks next Friday

at 8pm. We need to raise as much money for Pudsey's piggybank is

possible. This is vegan, and it is for you, Bryan. We know who is going

to be at Children in Need Rocks, because we are lucky enough to be

presenting on the night. Sir Tom Jones, Madness, Nicole Scherzinger,

Robbie Williams, and secret guests we can't mention. Pain of death!

Back over here, please! It is all part of Children in Need week, so

let's go back to the Rickshaw Challenge.

Hopefully the guests will include all of this lot here, because they

are on the ferry! We are on the ferry. Will we be there by Friday?

It is anyone's guess. The proud parent badge today has to go to

Amanda. You were leaning out of the car window taking photos. Texting

your husband. I am filling up now. I never thought for one minute that

Bethany would ever do anything like this, and she doesn't even like

noise, and she was hammering down a dual carriageway with cars going

past at 50 mph, and it didn't faze at all. She was amazing. And we

won't mention your incident with the wheelie bin. I thought nobody had

noticed! Don't worry. Jeff, we we saw your very emotional story last

night. You are the keeper of the pride now, so how do you sum up the

last 15 hours? It has been a great experience. To see him on the

rickshaw doing his bit for Team Rickshaw was amazing. And Alex, how

are these guys? -- five is? We have had such a welcome in Northern

Ireland, but just when we thought that we were allowed to go to the

canteen on the ferry, they said, you have to paddle. We have got to

paddle all the way to Scotland. And how will we do that? Matt, show

them. The rickshaw is on rollers here. It is basically the ultimate

exercise bike. So we haven't got any props, so I have just chopped and

end of one of the flags, and we are going to see who will pick the short

flag. To see who pedals all the way to Scotland. Bethany, you go first.

Just pick one, anyone. Good girl, a long one. Oh, it is Martin! It is

Martin. I tell you what, we will help you out, Martin. You can tell

it is not rigged. If you want to follow the progress of the Rickshaw

Challenge, you can. We will see you Monday. Follow us on the website.

And here is Bryan Adams! Love him. Do cheer them on if they are passing

year, but if you can't get to them, please do give what you can. Text

messages will cost ?5 plus a standard network charge.

Chris, I have got to dash. I will see you in a sex. Back in 1963, . --

in a sec. Back in 1960 3,000 of people rang in to Pop Goes The

Beatles to request songs by the Beatles, and we have been trying to

track down those fans ahead of the BBC live volume two on Monday. It

features that is ever unreleased performances and lots of studio

banter from the radio broadcasts. And Fearne is now joined by some of

the lovely people who answered our call. You requested PS I love you

back in 1963. Have you seen each other since? No, it is 36 years

since we have seen each other, although we have always done

birthday and Christmas cards. And we have this picture of you guys back

in the day. We were 14 years old. Did you ever get to meet the Fab

four? We didn't, but we did see them, we sat outside the studios.

And we saw them live on several occasions. Lovely to meet you.

Chris, who have you got over there? Steve and Jane Mansfield, brother

and sister. Stephen had broken his leg, so I thought I would send in a

request to brighten his time in hospital. It certainly cheered me

up. And what about these lovely ladies cheering you up? I was

delivering rabbits for my elder brother, I was taking them round

shop is and things, and this lady here, two weeks later, she became

Louth carnival queen, and my mother very kindly wrote to her and asked

if they would visit me in hospital. You lucky boy! Who have you got

next? Pete and Mike, tell us about your request. We didn't actually

send the request ourselves. We had 1 cent for us by our girlfriends, and

we haven't seen them since. Or one another. This whole incident got me

in a bit of trouble with my wife, actually, because it brought a few

skeletons out of the cupboard. I don't think we should say any more.

So you don't know where your ex-girlfriend is? Unfortunately, no,

but if she is out there... Easy, Tiger! Five people here now from

Blackburne House Girls School. Maureen, Val, Jill, Pat, Heather. We

got it right! You were just over the road from the school that George and

ball went to. And in between was the art college where John went to. Did

you know them? Unfortunately, no. No kissing over the school friends? It

was an all girls school, so that wasn't allowed, but we did wave.

Sylvie and Ronnie, you have brought something special. I have got a

harmonica belonging to John Lennon. I think that is worth a bit now,

keep hold of it! Thank you everyone for coming down today. We have got

something rather special for you, come along, Bryan. These are prints

of the album front cover. And another marshmallow if you are

lucky. Thank you for coming in today, guys. They are rather lovely.

And try and stick together with your current partners, that would be

amazing. Thank you, Bryan. Wounded: The Legacy Of War is out on Monday.

And here is that exclusive trait that we promised you. This is Words

Of Love.
