08/11/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to One Show with

Matt Baker.

And Alex Jones.

Astronaut Tim Peake will be here

later. He's just deploying his

landing gear. Let's hope it's not a

hard landing. Our service is quite

delicate. Look out!

Do you think

he's OK?

I think he's fine. Get

yourself cleaned up, Tim. We'll see

you in a little while and tonight

Tim will be hijacking the One Show

social media accounts and he will be

live tweeting and Facebooking. If

you have a question, use the hashtag

AskAnAstronaut and Tim will reply to

as many as possible.

He will sign it

off TP so you know it's from him.

That's what it means!

And I had

booked a really great actor for

tonight.

Have you? I've booked an

actor as well with an amazing CV.

Mine has a fantastic CV. Right, mine

starred in Grange Hill, Bergerac,

Burnside... My guy has been in

Jonathan Creek, Life On Mars, Harry

Potter And The Prisoner Of Askaban

and Inspector George Gently.

I'll

give you New Tricks, EastEnders and

Benidorm.

What about Soldier

Soldier, The Bill, Dalziel And

Pascoe? George Gently?

I love George

Gently. Shall we let them fight it

out between them? Let's get them on.

Please welcome Shane Richie and Lee

Ingleby.

APPLAUSE

Good to see you. How are you?

Impressive CV, look at that.

I'm

impressed with yours!

Excellent, to

be fair.

Did you ever call bingo at

a holiday camp?

No. Where next?

Matt

mentioned that you were in Harry

Potter, a huge franchise. Is that

the thing you get asked about the

most?

Quite a lot but weirdly, the

first thing we shot in that film was

the exterior, because I was in the

Knight Bus and about seven months

later I came back and did the

interiors on a blue screen. A bit of

a gap.

Your accent in George Gently

is brilliant.

He genuinely said that

earlier.

We are not really talking

to you tonight that acting, Shane,

because you are here as a singer.

Yes, the new album is out on and I'm

really honoured that I get to play

out the show at the end with one of

the tracks from it.

We can't wait to

hear it.

It's really weird. I've had

the honour of stepping in for you

when you have been off, and it's

nice to see you again after the

baby.

Thanks, Shane!

Did you look

like me? Good.

That's another one.

But it's a great honour, so thank

you for letting me and my band play.

We are looking forward to it. Lee,

the popular series The A Word is

back on BBC One, starting last

night, and later we will be joined

by your co-star, Max, and we will

hear the excuses. There he is,

looking forward to meeting you

later.

And we are delighted that Tim

Peake is here. He learned all about

space in year one, he was telling us

earlier. Ahead of

tomorrow on the show, we will be

hearing the story about our final

rickshaw ride, Luke.

Before that, we

will be heading to an area that

Shane should know well, the east

end.

In a cheeky cockney!

The London

borough of Newham was named by

Shelter today as having the highest

rate of homelessness in the capital,

one in 25 people.

But many with a

roof over their heads also find

themselves living in dangerous

conditions and Raphael Rowe has been

to see how bad it can get.

It's 7am and in joining housing

officers from the London borough of

Newham as they go on the hunt for

landlords they believe are breaking

the law. Good morning.

'S Newham

council with the police, can you

open the door?

Russell and his team

are investigating concerns about

some landlords in the area renting

properties to tenants in conditions

so poor they are not fit for human

habitation.

We are concerned that

this property.

Every room is

occupied. There should be proper

fire doors in every room. There was

no fire detector at the top of the

stairwell.

Officers find for

families living in this house, one

in each bedroom.

Electrical devices

all running off a single PowerPoint,

so your heaters, microwave, or that

sort of thing. It's a fire risk.

They could all die here so it's

important that we step in and say we

are not having it. They've got a

downstairs toilet, which pretty much

might as well be outside. That's not

a problem. It's like, let's get the

maximum number of people in the

property and charge them £500 a

month.

In the last ten years, this

council has seen a massive fall in

people living in properties they

own, about half what it used to be,

and a corresponding sharp rise in

properties which are privately

rented, many of them houses of

multiple occupation or HMOs.

We

found another house in multiple

occupation on the same road. I'd be

surprised if half the properties on

this road are not HMOs.

Out the back

of his property the officers find

something serious concern.

This is a

shed made of old doors, the cheapest

lump of people can find, bolted

together. This isn't even a good

shed. -- the cheapest lump of timber

that people can find. But open the

door and there are two adults in

there in a bed.

Good morning how you

doing? So how many in this room,

three, four of you? Mum, dad and

children.

This is not a home, it's a

shed.

Imagine what it would be like

in winter. It must get really cold

in here in the winter, right? You

are already wrapped up. I mean, it's

shocking. Every landlord in Newham

must purchase a license to let their

property and it's one of just five

councils permitted to read like

this. This policy has enabled them

deposited 331 landlords in the last

year, more than any other council in

the UK. -- enabled them to

prosecute. Why is the scheme

important?

They are charging big

rents, not paying council tax or

income tax, so they are people

trying to avoid being part of

regulations. People are at risk and

they want to maximise their profits

and they don't care what conditions

people live in. That's not right.

The government is threatening to

revoke this blanket licensing in

favour of a more targeted approach

to avoid penalising good landlords.

The council disagrees, arguing that

bad ones would just pop into the

non-licensed areas. What money does

the council make from this scheme?

Some would argue that you are

generating income.

No, we make

nothing out of it. We are doing it

because we want to protect and

defend our residents.

Another

property and another serious

standards failure.

There cockroaches

everywhere in her room full

oh,

gosh, on the table. Is this your

room?

Yeah.

Two of you living here?

And you have cockroaches in here?

Everybody has them.

Everybody, in

all of the rooms. Have you ever met

your landlord? Are they a good

person? No, you don't want any

problems?

Yes.

I kind of understand

what you're saying.

At least 19

people living here, at least seven

children and a baby under the age of

one in the back room, and collecting

about four brand in rent per month,

so this is a property that should be

licensed for a maximum of seven

people. Just got maximum

exploitation. -- massive

exploitation.

These tenants are

victims and they are not prepared to

speak for themselves because they

are desperate people living in

desperate times, so if part of the

cost of policing bad landlords comes

out of the pockets of the good ones,

maybe that's a small price to pay?

Goodness, some shocking sight there.

That wasn't even the worst of it.

I've never seen anything like it.

Last week, they found a guy living

in a gas meter cupboard and a bed in

a cupboard. But that was horrendous.

Never seen anything like it.

Picking

up on those licenses, the blanket

licenses, they are working on

catching rogue landlords, but why

are the government thinking of

abandoning them?

They think local

authorities have enough power as it

with selective licenses that they

can use to punish rogue landlords,

and they think that is enough. They

will not introduce borough wide

licenses because they think they can

do the job as they are.

Are they

finding these landlords thousands of

pounds? Where does the money go to?

Is ring-fenced and the licence fee

goes back into police and sing --

policing the licences. People didn't

want to talk on camera but if they

need help they go to the citizens

advice bureau, who can help. They

are not prepared to say it us,

that's because the landlord will

evict them.

And that is the case if

anybody expect anything like that

where they are living.

They should

report it and if they do something

will be done, landlords will be held

to account and they have to include

the conditions and, if they have to

move tenants to better accommodation

what will happen in those situations

that we saw in the film?

They will

be fined, it could be a significant

amount, and they will have to

improve the conditions before they

put any tenants back in. Most people

I met lived in those conditions

whilst the landlords are improving

them. That's how bad it is.

Can you

believe it? It's been two years

since one of the most beautiful

dramas in recent years, The A Word,

a family drama about a little boy

with autism.

It returned last week

and we have a look at next week's

episode, where Joe arrives at his

new school for the first time.

Put

your arms out. Spin it round, Joe.

Not the whole thing. All right.

Just

calm down.

I am calm. There we go.

Arms through.

Hello. Oh, hello, Joe.

Sorry we are a bit late.

That's

fine. You ready to come through,

Joe?

And Max Vento, who plays Joe,

also joins us now.

APPLAUSE

. You were at school first thing

this morning and you got the

afternoon off to travel down from

Leeds, so thank you for coming in.

It's great to see you.

I feel

starstruck because I love the

programme so much.

Joe is seven, who

you play. How old are you?

I am

eight.

Some people, Lee, will not

have seen the first series, so bring

us up to speed on where we find the

family.

We start the first episode

where Joe gets diagnosed with

autism. It's about them coming to

terms with that and how they deal

with it and the difficulties of what

that entails, I suppose.

The effect

it has on the family, I suppose.

Max, you don't have autism but you

have played this character in the

first series, so you must have been

about five or six.

I was six.

What

did you know about the character you

were playing? What do you remember?

All I remember is knowing that I was

autistic, that's all that I knew.

Did that mean anything to you?

No,

not really.

We talked about it a

lot, didn't we? We talked about how

Joe would be with his parents, and

his connection with his music.

Do

you like music in real life? In the

series, you always have headphones

on.

He isn't so keen on listening.

Yeah, I love music cost of

it is

rock music in the series, and you

are keen on that?

No.

Tell everybody

what you told us, your top three

jobs when you grow up.

I'd like to

be an actor, a singer and a dancer.

He's brilliant.

There you go!

What

reaction, Lee, have you had after

the first series? I'm getting lots

of parents with children with autism

approached you and have something to

say.

It was a lovely response. A lot

of people identified with the story.

At the end of the day, it's just one

family's story, and one boy with

autism. Every story is different,

and this is just one story for them

it was a lot of people got in touch

and shared their stories. It was

brilliant.

Quite a precious project

for you. We talked about your CV and

all the different things, but this

drama, it is rooted in the Lake

District and the landscape is in the

background, but it really gives it

an extra feel full stop

everything

was so special about it. The venue,

where we filmed... All the people in

it, and the crew... A lot of them

came back because they were so in

love with the story. It's

brilliantly written and so

heartfelt. It's one of those that

you are proud to play. It's good,

isn't it?

Is he a good on-screen

dad? Does he help you with your

lines and things?

He doesn't help me

with my lines but he is a good

on-screen dad.

My daughter is eight

and she does a lot of poems that

this sort of thing at school but how

do you learn your lines?

Your dad is

quite good at that.

What do your

friends make of the fact that you

are on this big BBC drama?

My

friends... They

advert of you last night and, like,

one of my friends was a background

in it.

Oh, an extra?

Yeah. And he

was from my school.

That's nice, to

have some companies

yeah, and that

was in series one.

Are you allowed

to stay up to watch this go out?

Yeah cost of

you are allowed! If

your teacher is watching, let him

have the morning off because he's

got to get back to Leeds tonight.

Good to see you.

Thank you.

We were talking about Tim Peake -

have you got a question for him?

Yeah.

What is it?

What is it like to

be floating in space?

Good one, we

will put that to him. Stick around,

don't go just yet.

The A Word

continues this evening on BBC One at

9pm.

After the -- over the last seven

years, the One Show rickshaw has

covered a staggering 2985 miles.

I

can believe that. Tomorrow, we are

off again, and this time it is the

right to the Clyde. We are going 500

miles from here in the one show

studio, going north to Glasgow. Drop

what you're doing and come and see

is if you can if you live on that

red line.

We have met five of the

incredible individuals taking part,

so let's complete the team. This is

Luke's story.

I am Luke, and I live with my mum,

my dad and my twin brother. Today,

we have got my Nan and grandad to

play a major part in my life. How

does a Welsh person ate cheese?

Caerphilly. We are twins, but I

first thought, we're -- I am better

looking than him.

He is probably a

bit more confident than me.

Because

they were born prematurely by 14

weeks, and then required oxygen help

for probably 18 months of their

lives, it was difficult for us all

as a family. We didn't know any

different, so we just got on. When

they told us that Luke had cerebral

palsy, it just floored us, really.

It was hard.

My cerebral palsy

affects my legs predominantly. I

can't balance, can't stand still,

which means I am either always on

crutches or in a wheelchair. It also

affects my hands. A year ago, I

couldn't tie shoelaces. Now, it

means I can get ready faster and not

need the help. At 11 years old, I

had to have a major operation. It

was in order to correct my feet so

that they were in the right

position, in the hope that I could

stand up straight.

Seeing blue in

pain... -- ceiling Luke. It was hard

for me as a mum and hard for us as a

family.

They broke some of my hip

bone and inserted screws into my

hip. After the operation, I

completely lost mobility and

physically couldn't do anything.

Altogether, it took 12 months of

physiotherapy and Luke's

determination to get him back to

some kind of independence.

I just

wanted to get moving again, so I

felt a bit trapped and so unhappy. I

lost confidence. I have learned how

to cope with a disability and how to

adapt to different situations

through going to stick in step.

We

provide help and support for

children as they grow up and

develop. Every child is affected

differently by cerebral palsy, so

each child has different goals. It

can be sitting independently, to

stand and walk, key skills to enable

them to be independent in the wider

world.

Luke learned to start taking

steps on his own, to tie his

shoelaces, to feed himself

independently. That's it. The most

important part, I think, is his

confidence, that he believes in

himself. I would like to believe

that we played an important part in

making in the charismatic young man

he has become.

The services are free

of charge, which means that without

funding from things like Children In

Need we wouldn't be able to offer

the service.

The Rickshaw Challenge

will be exciting for Luke, and he

has put so much time and effort into

training.

I didn't think I would be

able to do a challenge like this

because balance is one of the main

issues with cerebral palsy. I've

never been able to ride a bike, so

to ride the rickshaw is such

achievement.

His biggest fear was

following -- falling off. When he

never and he went round the track,

it was so amazing for him.

In the

Rickshaw Challenge, early start will

be a nightmare, because he loves is

late. There is no one wants

I want to show that people with

cerebral palsy can do incredible

things. Please, everybody, get

behind us and donate what you can.

Luke is raring to go.

When I first

met him, there was never a doubt

whether or not he would make the

team.

Hearing his mum thought, it

reminds you how tough it is for the

parents as well.

That is the great

thing about Children In Need, they

help the family with respite care

and support. You can donate by

sending a simple text message. Shane

and Lee, you are going to help us

out.

You candidate £5 by taking the

word seemed to 70405.

To donate £10,

text the word team to 70410.

And to

donate £20, text the word team

270420.

For full terms and

conditions, go to BBC .co .uk/

Pudsey. You can sign up for a

virtual rickshaw on the website and

use your own pedal power to raise

money for Team Rickshaw and Children

In Need. Get involved.

Lots of

people have. I think we have raised

about 12,000.

Shane, you've done

your fair share for Children In

Need.

Blimey! How long has it been?

It has been a long time. He was a

trip down memory lane for you. This

did really well in 2003. It got to

number... ?

Lets say number one.

It

was a hit.

The amount of time and effort that

goes into it, the cast and crew

get-together, rehearsing, all the

time, as well as filming EastEnders.

And it comes around the Christmas

story lines as well.

The last

appearance on Children In Need

resulted in this country album,

didn't it?

I had been funding this

album myself for about three years,

and a track I was going to do was

this song, and Tony Hadley is an old

friend, and I said, do you want to

comment duet with me? He said,

great, and from that, it escalated

and there was more interest from

wreck accompanied. And what has

happened today. After I did I'm Your

Man, because I was offered a deal by

Simon Cowell, I couldn't do it

because of my EastEnders contract,

so it has come full circle.

It is

not a new thing, this singing? You

have had albums out, some in the

West End?

And I have always sung

with bands. My dad used to work in

working men's clubs in London, so

why was always getting up and

singing with Irish bands, country

stuff, so we had country music in

the house as well, so it seems like

a natural progression to do it with

their band.

Let's have a listen. He

resume enjoying a bit of John Pardee

-- Jon Pardi.

# She was a heartache

on the dance floor

# Yeah, she's moving through my mind

# I gotta know her name

and I gotta see her again

# She's got me wondering

Yeah, I'm just wondering

# Where she at, where she at,

where she at tonight?

# Oh, yeah

where she at tonight?

#.

where she at tonight?

#.

APPLAUSE

That is a good old Christmas dumper!

Talking about the different styles,

white country, and why do you feel

so happy in that genre?

It is kind

of new country. When I talk about

doing a country album, people were

like, Stetsons, and one of the

record labels were talking about me

and Jesse giving Islands In The

Stream, and I was like, you're

missing the point. Certainly in the

last 7-10 years, in the States,

where it is massive, but a lot of

the young artists, their references

are R&B and Soul, so Sam Hunt and

Keith Gergen, who has had a big hit,

he has Nile Rodgers producing him,

Pinball rapping on it.

Nicole

Kidman's...

Yeah, they are throwing

the old guard away and making it a

bit more R&B and Soul, and I have

been loving doing that in the last

two years.

You have some original

songs and some covers. You have

chosen the covers because they have

a personal connection?

One in

particular... We did a cover of

Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me, by

Nik Kershaw, who sung at my wedding.

I try to get him on the album. I was

a fan of the Pogues, the Dubliners,

the fewer reason bands like this,

and I wanted to get this song and

take out the 80s electro- pop

guitar, and we got a guy called

Bobby Valentino, who played the

fiddle on Young At Heart, and he

took over the guitar part, played

that fiddle part, and we can have a

gate -- we have a great version of

it live.

And you have been involved

in the writing?

Yes, the producer

and writer, and also with my son

Jake. We have collaborated.

Was that

a weird experience?

Yeah, and I'll

tell you what was really weird. In

July, it was my tenth wedding

anniversary. If you're watching,

darling, I did forget and I'm sorry!

We were on holiday, and Jake has a

house, and he said, do you mind if

the band come and stay in the house?

And I was like... They set up in my

kitchen, with drums, keyboards, and

I was like, what is happening to my

house? Kristina put something on

social media about our anniversary,

and I was like, I forgot! I rang her

and said, I'm so sorry, I forgot,

but what are you doing with someone

like me? And she said, shut up, all

I want is you. And Jake went, that

would make a great song. I said, you

can shut up and feed the dogs. So we

wrote about my insecurities about

putting on weight, going grey, and

Jake put a dance feel on it with

Danny from Rixton. It was

interesting writing with him. I

would say, if you do it like this,

and he would be like, I get that.

The album has come out when the CNAs

are on, the biggest awards.

So, what

we did, we took your album to

Nashville to find out what they

thought. Here is a country radio

presenter.

Hello, Shane. I love

Alfie Moon, he is such a geezer. I

am in Nashville, Tennessee, the home

of country music, and I'm going to

be breaking Shane Richie's debut

album, a country cell, in the United

States, taking it ran Nashville to

see what people think. Do you think

he looks like a country star?

Looks

like Conway Twitty.

Adorable.

He was

my first crush when I was ten years

old, so I support everything that

Shane Richie does.

What about his

name - Shane Richie?

Yeah.

Should it

be Chennai Richie?

No.

It's got a

little bit of hip-hop.

It is like

Johnny Cash meets Bustard.

It's like

that pop - country kind of...

1-10,

how do you rate it?

Eight.

Five will

stop

seven.

Eight.

The Germans love

you! Obviously a country music

superstar Sunni have you heard his

debut country album?

I have heard

about it and read about it. I was

waiting for you to send me a copy.

I'm sure he'll send you a copy,

because he covered Wagon Wheel. Have

you heard it yet? We'll play it for

you.

He has a raspy, van Morrison sort of

thing. I like it! Next time, I'll

come and see your record, Shane.

APPLAUSE

How cool was that?

Before the show,

in make up, I was like, oh, Cat is

turning up. But while! From the

bottom of my heart, but of me wants

to cry.

There you go, it's been

heard in Nashville.

Bless you, thank

you. I was a big fan of beauty and

blowfish back in the day and I've

got to meet my man crush, and he is

an incredible singer songwriter and

one of the loveliest men you could

meet.

It's nice that he is genuinely

chuffed. Shane's album, A Country

Soul, is out on Friday.

This

Saturday there is coverage from the

country music awards on Radio 2 and

highlights on BBC Four.

I can't

speak now!

Shortly, astronaut Tim

Peake will be joining us. So you can

have a break.

First, a young World

War II RAF pilot whose invention

allowed him to fly faster than ever

before and he has since inspired

generations of inventors.

Including

that bagless vacuum bloke.

Underneath this clock is an

80-year-old creation that changed

the world -- this cloth. It's the

prized possession of one Briton's

most successful entrepreneurs, James

Dyson, bought inspire his teams of

inventors. Today, they've come to

see him fire it up especially for

the One Show.

Hello.

Lovely to meet

you. I don't wish to alarm you but

it seems quite a good proportion of

your employees have abandoned their

desks.

Yes, we'd better get it over

quickly!

Bail or staring at this.

What is it?

Here it is, the precise

language of the engineer, it's

called a jackpot gas turbine. To you

and me, it is a jet engine.

It's the

first example and the oldest running

jet engine in the world. Its

simplicity is breathtaking but it's

how is enormous.

This game changing

invention was the brainchild of Sir

James's idol, who was just 22 when

he first dreamt of jet propelled

flight. Sir Frank Whittle.

He is my

favourite inventor of all time. In

fact, a lot of our inventions are

based on this, so we've got a bit of

our vacuum cleaner and hairdryer

derived from Frank Whittle.

A daring

RAF pilot, Frank Whittle came up

with the idea after becoming

frustrated with the limited power of

propeller planes and piston engines.

He wanted to fly faster, further and

higher.

The only way you could

combine high speed and long range

was by flying very high. They

propeller wouldn't because the thin

air affected the power such an

extent, and at 40 files and feed a

wouldn't do it.

But there was too

little air pressure at high

altitudes to create enough threat

that good enough thrust. So Frank

Whittle came up with a new idea,

building within the engine itself.

Can you talk us through what's

happening inside?

The air is

attracted in the front, there and

there, and right there you've got

what's called a centrifugal

impeller, which looks like that.

The

centrifugal impeller is a fan which

sucks air in. The blades spin at

high speed, compressing the air in a

high pressure chamber.

And the fuel

is injected here, and the compressor

causes the fuel to explode and make

a fireball.

Generating 650 generates

degrees Celsius and around 3000

horsepower, it gives 23 times more

thrust than the propellers that had

gone before. Whittle had solved his

problem and today be centrifugal

impeller is used in everything from

nuclear submarines to Dyson's vacuum

cleaners. It was way ahead of its

time.

Nobody believed it. The

government didn't believe him, the

Air Ministry didn't believe him. In

fact, the Air Ministry refused to

pay the £5 renewal fee on the patent

for the jet engine.

Did you

encounter similar resistance in your

early stages of being an inventor?

Of course. People in the vacuum

cleaner industry were not

interested. I'm rather pleased that

they won't, because I now own it.

Whittle also refused to give up and

eventually he did win the RAF over.

On the 15th of May 1951, the first

of his engines took flight. The jet

age had begun. What message can we

take away from Frank Whittle's

invention?

To me at all of us, he is

undoubtedly our greatest engineering

a row. Inventions like this changed

the world and it shows that the

impossible is in fact possible in

engineering.

The vacuum chat that

has been happening in this studio!

Can you imagine?

Making the

impossible possible is something our

next guest tries to do on a daily

basis and he gets asked a lot of

questions, which have been compiled

into a new book, Ask An Astronaut.

Please welcome Tim Peake!

APPLAUSE

Everybody loves Tim Peake. A proper

spacemen! He is one of the guardians

of the galaxy!

We saw who James

Dyson's hero is. Who is yours?

One

of them is a Nasa astronaut called

Bruce McCandless, who did the first

untethered spacewalk out of the back

of a space shuttle. From a test

pilot point of view, to get in this

man manoeuvring unit and go if you

are good metres away from the

shuttle with no cables must have

been incredible.

On that vacuuming

topic, while we were chatting about

it, that used to be your job, didn't

it, on the space station, doing the

vacuuming?

Yes, there is nobody else

to clean, so we'd get the hoover out

and plug it in and vacuum

everything. Dust won't settle on the

space station, it just floats, so

the airflow get all of the dust and

everything that you lose, you will

find it funny return great, and we'd

have to go and clean up with a

vacuum cleaner every Saturday. --

you will find it on a return great.

Your last science book was the most

popular science book ever, but this

one, Ask An Astronaut, we've got

some people here who have ask you

questions. Here we go.

My first

question is, how can I become an

astronaut?

Great question. A hard

one to answer, but the good news is

that you can become an astronaut

from so many different avenues. Some

of my colleagues around the world

have been schoolteachers, some are

engineers, some scientists, some

pilots like myself. What I tell

people is that the most important

thing is not thinking about becoming

an astronaut but what are you going

to do beforehand? That's what you

have to focus on. You have to be as

good as you can be. If you can work

out what you are passionate about,

that will help.

You wanted to be an

astronaut Lily?

I think everybody

wanted to be an astronaut! I didn't

fly. -- in Ostrow, Lee. I was upset

with space travel. I think most kids

are.

It's getting closer and closer

as far as space travel is concerned.

Let's go to another page. Who have

we got?

Hi, mine is a daft question,

maybe, but when I watched you

running the London Marathon, I

wondered what happened to the sweat

that you produced? I'm assuming you

would sweat normally, so did float

around in droplets or stay stuck on

you and make you hotter instead of

pulling you down?

I think Caroline

needs to cool down!

A cardboard

cutout of you!

So what happens?

It

interesting, because I thought the

sweat would form droplets and stay

on your skin, which it does on your

arms and legs, but around your head

it floats to the top of your hair

and you end up with a pool of water.

After 20 minutes running, you can

feel it wobbling around in your hair

and you have to reach for a towel.

You don't really want your sweat

going everywhere around the space

station. You try and keep it clean.

Amazing to have thought of that

question! Let's have a look at this

one.

Which is more beautiful from

space, daytime birth or night-time

birth?

That's a hard one to answer,

they are both stunning. -- daytime

or night-time birth. At night, you

often see the Aurora, especially in

winter. It's amazing, and they can

sometimes get so high that the space

station flies through this eerie

green fog, which is remarkable.

Thunderstorms, storm front lighting

up the planet, its magnificent by

night. But, if I had to choose, I

would say it is more beautiful by

daytime. I think you are seeing this

wonderful blue oasis, this lovely

planet that we have, and all of the

geological features. You don't see

man-made features but just the

geology of planet Earth and how it

was formed.

How long is it a day and

night for?

About 45 minutes of each.

We see 16 sunrises and 16 sunsets

per day.

Goodness!

It takes a while

to get used to. The light constantly

coming, light and dark. It might be

11am, you have a coffee break, you

look at and it's night-time over

China. The worst thing is, before

you go to bed, of the hatch if it is

daytime, because you get an influx

of beauty and you can't sleep.

Let's

get a question from Max.

How is it

like when you are floating in the

air?

Floating in the air is

brilliant fun. You can do all sorts

of things, you can do some assault

and move yourself around easily, you

can turn upside down. -- you can do

somersaults. But your body adopts a

different shape. Our shoulders on

earth are being talked down by

gravity but in space you get quite

hunched up, because they adopt their

natural posture. Every single muscle

relaxes, and it's a really

comfortable feeling. It's the most

comfortable you have been all day

long.

Does it affect you when you

come back?

It does. We have to work

out for about two hours every day to

stop any effects. When you get back,

it takes a couple of months before

your body gets into the right shape.

Everything has to settle down. Your

spine compresses and you grow about

two inches.

Thank you for the

question.

That book, Ask An

Astronaut, is out right now with the

going to the Prince's Trust.

Time

now to welcome somebody else who

like him as what it takes to be an

astronaut. Here's why.

Hands on your head, go!

0.24...

We

really want to put the best people

onto the rocket ship.

Our first

choice is Susie.

CHEERING

A big welcome to the show to Suzie

and congratulations on having what

it takes. I think she should have a

round of applause.

APPLAUSE

Those challenges, I mean, they

looked really hard call. I'm sure

Tim is thinking, yes, I've been

through those. Russian group

hard-core. What was the hardest

thing?

One of the most intimidating

things was we were in a capsule

strapped in and it was dropped into

the water and water came over our

heads and the capsule began turning

over and we had to escape. It was

fine, but I was nervous about it

because I'd never done anything like

it before, so quite an intimidating

idea.

We were talking about the

dream of becoming an astronaut but

was it something for you that was

kind of a reality?

I was always

interested in being astronaut but

growing up I wanted to be an

Antarctic explorer. I had read about

Scott and his expeditions.

So you

have to wait until they ask for more

astronauts so, at the minute, what

do you do the job?

I'm a professor

at the university of Leicester so I

have that job full-time at the

moment. Also looking forward to

maybe in the future applying to be a

real astronaut.

Talk us through what you've got.

This is fascinating.

Yes, this is

something that a team at the

University of Leicester have been

building, part of an instrument that

is going to go on the next mission,

to Mercury. I study Mercury, its

dynamics and so on. This will be

launched in October 2018, called

BepiColombo, it's a European Space

Agency and Japanese space agency

mission. This is one piece of it, or

a replica. It is part of what is

called an x-ray spectrometer, which

will tell us what the composition of

Mercury is, what its surface

composition is. We will get

resolution down to nearly one

kilometre and find out what it is

made of.

It is the most information

anyone will have gathered about

McKimmie?

Yes.

What happens to the

information?

It comes back to the

university, we will analyse it and

make it available to scientists

around the world.

How detailed is

the information we have about

Mercury at the moment?

We have a

good idea about some of it, but

there are areas that we have never

been able to see, and this is what

will give us unprecedented

resolution of those areas.

Seven

years to get there?

Yes, so it

launches in October 2018, and it

will get there in 2025.

2025? !

It's

like the M25!

We were talking

earlier about space tourism. What do

you think, in the next ten or 20

years it will be a reality? Where do

you stand on it, Tim?

I think it

will be less time than that. We have

had tourists going to the

International space Station, paying

an awful lot of money, but in the

next couple of years, we will see

space tourism in terms of companies

like Version Galactic and others

offering suborbital flights, a hop

up to just over 100 kilometres, and

then fall back down with four five

minutes of weightlessness.

To open

it out, we are written an

interesting place in our history,

aren't we?

The next 10-15 years will

be fascinating, with space tourism

and the commercialisation of low

Earth orbit. We have emotional

crafts applying the ISS, and soon,

commercial companies. Building their

own space stations on to the ISS,

which allows the National space

agency is to look at the NextTech,

which is using the Moon as a

stepping stone to Mars.

It blows

your mind. And every something

amazing happening in ten days?

Sentinel 5p, the European Space

Agency's latest Earth observation

satellite will start sending back

its data. -- Sentinel 5P. It will

give us climate information that

will allow us to monitor air

pollution in cities. They will run a

series of test, then the information

will start flooding in.

And it is

the same with what you are working

on as well? As soon as it gets there

in seven years' time, you will get

the information.

The information

will come back fast and we will

process it as fast as we can get it

out there.

It is mad talking to two.

When Tim walked in, you were like,

oh!

My boy has followed your stuff

on telly. He wants to know, have you

spotted strange things, like a UFO?

Why are you laughing? I still

believe there could be life on other

planets. And I'm not talking about

amoebas and water and that.

One

morning was very funny, because in

daytime, Sun is black, because the

sun and the earth so bright, you

don't see any stars. One time, I was

looking out and I saw three bright

white light flying in formation, and

I thought, that's unusual. I had

been there for five months and had

never seen anything like it. I

called over my crewmate, Jeff, and

said, what do you think of that? We

thought we were looking at bright

lights far-away, but we realised

they were very close and it was

small droplets dropping out of a

vehicle, a resupply vehicle, which

was leaking and it was liquid that

was crystallising and reflecting

sunlight.

You could have said there

were UFOs!

I guess you want to

believe there is something out

there.

We are all searching for

signs of life. We have a curiosity

rover on Mars searching for signs of

life, and there are future robotic

missions to Mars with exactly that

objective. I think we're close to

finding signs of microbial life

forms, very small ones, either

passed or maybe even present, who

knows, beneath the surface of Mars.

One of the things we all asked for

from you was a photo from your

phone. We will start with yours,

Tim, if we can.

They were all

related to sausages.

I guess so.

This is a campfire at home?

It is.

When I was on board the space

station, of course, you miss friends

and family the most. I thing I love

to do with the family up in Scotland

is go for a sausage sizzle, down by

the river. That was the first one.

Here comes Lee's.

That is your

rescue cat?

It is. We rescued him,

and we thought he was a kitten

because he was so undernourished. We

took him in and now he's all right.

Fat! What might we will finish on a

banger, because here is Shane's.

You have got to go and get yourself

ready, and whilst you do, we will

meet the Priest family.

Every year,

they visit the same place to make a

unique family album.

The best thing about the Yorkshire

sculpture Park is that every time

you come there is a different scene.

Hi, I'm Chloe, and this is my

family. Believe it or not, we'd been

coming here every year since 1980.

He's wearing clothes there!

That's

me, aged five, in the blue coat.

Here I am again, aged 27 was stop

these days, you are not really meant

to lie on the sculptures. -- aged

27. Our family has gone from five to

15 over that time. This year is the

40th anniversary of the sculpture

park being open, and we've come

today to look at some of the new

exhibits. Wow! Look at all the

detail!

I think they're fantastic,

very realistic. I think the artist's

trying to create what doing -

identifying which year you were born

in in the Chinese calendar and

giving and standing by to get your

photo taken.

It is always a surprise

coming to the sculpture park because

you never know what you're going to

see their wrists touch a variety of

styles, you are bound to like

something and dislike something

else.

Surrender.

Yeah, I think it's

surrender.

It is not often that we

are outnumbered by the up.

Is it

saying, stay away, or is it saying,

welcome? That is the mystery of it.

I'm not keen.

How many out of ten?

Two.

We first started coming here in

1980, when my dad got a job at the

college in the grounds of the park.

We've definitely come every year.

Our parents encouraged us to have an

interest in art and encourage us to

see beyond the obvious, and

hopefully, we've taught our children

to do the same.

It has gone all

rainy.

He reminds me a lot of my

brother. He likes to look at his

phone quite a lot.

It is very well

done and very accurate. I don't get

a lot of... A lot of emotion out of

it, but maybe that's the point, that

he's not feeling anything.

It's

probably focused on my generation

more, really, telling us to get off

our phones and look at what's around

us.

I think this face is gorgeous,

it's powerful, sensitive. It doesn't

seem solid. It seems like a

projection of a face. From this

angle, you would hardly know it was

a face.

This one is a hit with

everyone because there is such an

element of surprise. You don't

expect it to look that way when you

walk all the way around it, and she

also looks peaceful, which makes you

feel calm.

It's wonderful to bring

kids, because it's much better than

presenting a child with a piece of

art and saying, look, this is

important. You got to understand it.

In this setting, they just accept it

as being a normal thing. -- you've

got to understand it.

The collection

of sculptures by Barbara Hepworth,

she was world-famous and she is from

around here, and it is special to us

because we have been coming here for

nearly 40 years, and the family in

this piece has always been there

when we have come. I think they call

it art without Walls, which is a

perfect description.

Can everyone

see?

Smile!

Thank you to all 15

members of the Priest family.

Shane's almost ready to do his

country thing.

He is poised.

Just

time to thank all of our

Thanks to The A thanks to Lee and

co-star max. And thanks to Tim

Thanks to The A thanks to Lee and

co-star max. And thanks to Tim,

whose book, Ask An Astronaut, is out

now.

Tomorrow, we will have Stephen

Fry here. And we will set out on the

2017 Rickshaw Challenge. To play us

out, here is Shane with a track from

his new album, A Country Soul - this

is Wave On Wave.

# Mile upon mile got no direction

# We're all playing the same game

# We're all looking for redemption

# Just afraid to say the name

# So caught up in not pretending

# What we are seeking is the truth

# I'm just looking

for a happy ending

# All I'm looking for is you

for a happy ending

# It came upon me wave on wave

# You're the reason I'm still here

# Am I the one you

were sent to save?

# It came upon me Wave On Wave

# Wave On Wave

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like

to introduce to you, the finest, the

greatest, the big gospel choir!

# And it came upon me wave on wave

# You're the reason I'm still here

# Am I the one you

were sent to save?

# And it came upon me

wave on wave...#.

# And it came upon me wave on wave

# You're the reason I'm still here

# Am I the one you

were sent to save?
