:00:20. > :00:25.Hello, and welcome to your very first One Show of 2012 with Matt
:00:25. > :00:30.Baker... And here whilst Alex is on holiday, it is Anita Rani. Happily
:00:30. > :00:37.new year to everybody. If you have missed the best deals in the
:00:37. > :00:42.January sales, today we have our very own bargain offer - two great
:00:42. > :00:46.guests for the price of one! Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were
:00:46. > :00:53.at the premiere of War Horse. looked gorgeous. Michael Morpurgo
:00:53. > :00:57.will be joining us later to tell us how it feels to see his story
:00:57. > :01:02.brought to the big screen. Before that, it is the woman all about
:01:03. > :01:07.dropping the pounds - whether it is the Million Pound Drop or the
:01:07. > :01:11.Biggest Loser. Please welcome Davina McCall. Nice to have you
:01:11. > :01:16.back! I'm a massive fan of the Million Pound Drop. You experienced
:01:16. > :01:20.that tension first-hand with your dad for charity? It made the way
:01:20. > :01:23.that I am going to deal with the contestants on the show completely
:01:23. > :01:33.different, I think. Now I understand what it feels like to be
:01:33. > :01:40.on the other side. I will know a bit more... How much did you lose?
:01:40. > :01:45.I think it was �50,000. Right. was - we had battled so hard to get
:01:45. > :01:49.there. We had some really tough questions and we battled so hard
:01:49. > :01:53.that it was ultimately disappointing. We talked about it
:01:53. > :01:57.quite a lot afterwards. And both of us decided that if we hadn't been
:01:57. > :02:01.with the other we would have both gone for that answer. There was
:02:01. > :02:05.nothing - it wasn't like, "I would have gone for that one!" We are
:02:05. > :02:09.back on this weekend. OK. Friday and Saturday. We will talk more
:02:09. > :02:13.about that in a minute. Big advice for those who enjoy a drink - rest
:02:13. > :02:19.that arm for a couple of days a week. Dr Sarah Jarvis will be here
:02:19. > :02:24.to tell us why. January is a month when a lot of people vow to abstain,
:02:24. > :02:31.including me! LAUGHTER Our wildlife man did it the hard way. He gave up
:02:31. > :02:36.booze from December 1st to the minute Big Ben struck New Year.
:02:36. > :02:42.Many of us enjoy a drink, myself included. Especially over the
:02:42. > :02:47.Christmas period. Things were a little different this year for me.
:02:47. > :02:51.As well as reporting on the One Show I also pop up on the BBC's
:02:51. > :02:55.Inside Out series. Each region decided to set one of their
:02:55. > :02:59.presenters the ultimate challenge. After a couple of pints, I learned
:02:59. > :03:05.that I had drawn the short straw for my patch. It is November 30th
:03:05. > :03:10.and I am just about to start a dry December, not a drop of alcohol
:03:10. > :03:16.will touch my lips throughout the whole month. It could be a really
:03:16. > :03:23.interesting experiment because this is my last drink. Cheers. Maybe a
:03:23. > :03:26.few more before I jump on the wagon! I have never had a month
:03:26. > :03:32.without alcohol. For some motivations, a forensic artist
:03:32. > :03:38.joined us to show me the damage ten years of continued boozing could do
:03:38. > :03:44.to my face. I also look about 15 stone! Which is a lot more than I
:03:44. > :03:50.am now for the record! Yes, alcohol accelerates the ageing process.
:03:50. > :03:56.Everything will drop a lot quicker than it would do if you weren't
:03:56. > :04:01.drinking so much. You would also have some weight gain. After being
:04:01. > :04:10.scared half to death, I decided the next morning to visit the doctor
:04:10. > :04:14.for a full MoT. We have you on 30 units of alcohol a week. The doctor
:04:14. > :04:21.will monitor my health at the beginning and the end of my month
:04:21. > :04:28.of abstinence. A few days in, the party season is in full swing. For
:04:28. > :04:33.everyone else that is! 6th December, I have come back after my first
:04:33. > :04:43.Christmas party. I drank juice or water all night. Now I'm at home,
:04:43. > :04:43.
:04:43. > :04:49.once again, I feel like I want a large glass of red wine. It's 12th
:04:49. > :04:54.December, my 12th day. It's been a real task staying off the sauce and
:04:54. > :05:01.also seeing all my friends for what they really are, which is probably
:05:02. > :05:06.quite drunk! It is Christmas Eve. There's the tree. That is a glass
:05:06. > :05:11.of wine. It's not mine! It is my partner's. Lots of Christmas
:05:12. > :05:18.wrapping to do tonight for tomorrow. I have to say I'm absolutely
:05:18. > :05:23.gagging for a glass of wine. It's 30th December, 30 days without
:05:23. > :05:27.booze. Frankly, I have had enough now. I want to start drinking. I
:05:27. > :05:33.don't know if I feel any healthier. Back to the doctors to find out.
:05:33. > :05:37.The news is not what I expected. In a month, slightly lower blood
:05:37. > :05:43.pressure, which is good and ever so slight increase in weight, which is
:05:43. > :05:49.not so good. It was Christmas? was. In terms of my alcohol
:05:49. > :05:53.consumption, what advice would you give me? Instead of reaching for
:05:53. > :05:59.that glass, find a displacement activity - it might be a computer
:05:59. > :06:06.game for an apple! A month off did make me feel much better. I will be
:06:06. > :06:11.thinking a lot more about what I drink in the future. Viewers in
:06:11. > :06:14.England can see more of Mike and other BBC colleagues taking the Dry
:06:14. > :06:18.December Challenge on Inside Out straight after us on BBC One.
:06:18. > :06:23.Sarah Jarvis is here now. It is a good idea to assess how much you
:06:23. > :06:28.drink and cut it back if you can. A couple of days a week rest at
:06:28. > :06:32.least? Absolutely. About 20 years ago, we introduced this daily limit,
:06:32. > :06:35.the idea of three or four units a day for men, two or three for women.
:06:35. > :06:39.The problem is, you drink that much, you are drinking more than the old
:06:39. > :06:43.weekly limits and what this advice is saying - you need to take a
:06:43. > :06:48.couple of days offer, give your liver a bit of a break. You like
:06:48. > :06:52.this idea? It is achievable. My husband tried to do a month off -
:06:52. > :06:57.he lasted five days! He could do two days a week. What about this
:06:57. > :07:03.month off? Does it work? It is not going to do you harm. The anxiety
:07:03. > :07:08.would be if you took your month off, use it as an excuse, and now I can
:07:08. > :07:11.drink what I like! It wouldn't do you any harm. People do
:07:11. > :07:15.underestimate quite how much good they can do themselves by taking a
:07:15. > :07:20.couple of days off. They also underestimate how much alcohol is
:07:20. > :07:24.in things. That is a small glass of wine. If you go into a wine bar,
:07:24. > :07:34.they have these big glasses... is enough for me! That's a woman's
:07:34. > :07:38.daily alcohol allowance. Daily? Oh! LAUGHTER With your two days off
:07:38. > :07:42.a week! People do underestimate it. One of the great things about
:07:42. > :07:46.drinking longer drinks, you can water them down, that might make a
:07:47. > :07:52.difference. What about a pint? is two units of normal strength
:07:52. > :07:56.beer. Some of these strong beers are four units. It is all - they
:07:56. > :08:01.have got stronger over the years. Thank you very much. Now, Davina
:08:01. > :08:06.has become one of the UK's best- known fitness queens. She is not
:08:06. > :08:11.the first to tackle the nation's waistlines. Gyles Brandreth has
:08:12. > :08:15.taken a power jog around the Pathe's archives to see how Britons
:08:15. > :08:23.fought the bulge. Long before the days of television British Pathe
:08:23. > :08:28.was filming news reports for the cinema. One of the weightier issues
:08:29. > :08:36.is weight loss. A nationwide survey carried out in 1951 found the
:08:36. > :08:44.average waist size to be 70cm. When the same test was conducted in 2004,
:08:44. > :08:50.that figure had risen by 16cm. Almost 25%. Experts have placed the
:08:50. > :08:54.blame on convenience foods and our lifestyles. After 100 years of
:08:54. > :08:58.covering the latest slimming fads, can Pathe teach us anything about
:08:58. > :09:03.how to regain our 1950s figures? One thing is for sure, when it
:09:03. > :09:07.comes to personal appearance, society's expectations 60 years ago
:09:07. > :09:17.was as demanding as they are today. NEWSREEL: Wherever you go, the
:09:17. > :09:23.
:09:24. > :09:28.accent is on weight. 15 stone 6 pound. NEWSREEL: To be slim again,
:09:28. > :09:32.women are dieting, exercising and worrying. Every paper and magazine
:09:32. > :09:37.tells you how to do it! We British have been searching for a miracle
:09:37. > :09:42.cure, a quick-fix to this age-old problem, since newsreels began.
:09:42. > :09:47.NEWSREEL: The rack used to be an instrument of torture. Now, known
:09:48. > :09:57.as the traction rhythmic couch, it still looks like it. It stretches
:09:58. > :10:01.
:10:01. > :10:06.the body, tones the muscles and makes a girl feel marvellous.
:10:06. > :10:11.NEWSREEL: Just a few electric shocks. While today's buzzword is
:10:11. > :10:15.detox, the diets of Pathe's day were more questionable. NEWSREEL:
:10:15. > :10:20.What is the answer to the fat man's problem. NEWSREEL: In a day when we
:10:20. > :10:25.had no agriculture and there was no starch in our food, everybody had
:10:25. > :10:30.to live by hunting on meat and fat. I believe they were all slim in
:10:30. > :10:36.those days. Now, if we stop eating these new foods, then we will get
:10:36. > :10:39.our weight down. These fads really began to take off after the war as
:10:39. > :10:43.rationing ended and the country began to pile on the pounds,
:10:43. > :10:47.leading to a slimming and fitness industry and an institution which
:10:47. > :10:57.would supposedly do it all for you - the fat farm. NEWSREEL: A few
:10:57. > :11:02.
:11:02. > :11:07.years ago, physical jacks were practised by a few. The fat farm
:11:07. > :11:10.offered a gruelling exercise routine ideal for combating those
:11:10. > :11:16.post-Christmas bulges. Back then, the fat farm was such a novelty it
:11:16. > :11:22.made the headlines. Today, the health spa is much more commonplace.
:11:22. > :11:27.As well as exercise routines, the fat farm offered a range of beauty
:11:27. > :11:33.therapies and slimming diets to pamper clients in between their
:11:33. > :11:38.strenuous workouts. NEWSREEL: is a cocktail bar, too! The
:11:38. > :11:48.cocktails are prepared from Ru bash, apple, grapes and carrot. They feel
:11:48. > :11:50.
:11:50. > :11:54.better and probably look better -- rhubarb. Fortunately, these days
:11:54. > :11:59.visiting a health spa is about relaxation rather than rigorous
:11:59. > :12:03.exercise. Over the years, countless fads have come and gone, but a few
:12:04. > :12:08.simple truths remain unchanged. NEWSREEL: Slimming is better
:12:08. > :12:11.tackled before you get enormous. Don't eat more than you use up in
:12:11. > :12:16.energy. So much as we would like to fool ourselves that there is a
:12:16. > :12:21.miracle cure or a magic massage waiting over the horizon, the truth
:12:21. > :12:27.is as it's always been, the way to health and fitness is a balanced
:12:27. > :12:36.diet and regular exercise. Still, it can't hurt to try some of the
:12:36. > :12:42.new techniques, can it? Mmm! LAUGHTER Absolute class! How much
:12:42. > :12:51.do you love the fitness archive?! like the cycling. Does that appear
:12:51. > :12:57.in the new DVD, your eighth DVD? but there's a lot of pointy toes.
:12:57. > :13:02.Eight DVDs. You are a fitness goddess! How is this one different?
:13:02. > :13:11.It's called a Target Workout. You have two workouts which will last
:13:11. > :13:19.45-minutes. If you want to do - say - may weak point are my legs and my
:13:19. > :13:22.bottom. My upper half is OK. So, I'm always doing extra squats. We
:13:22. > :13:29.have bikini bottom exercises and they target extra bits which you
:13:29. > :13:34.can tack on to your workout. We have tricep workouts, abs. This Is
:13:34. > :13:42.Your Life style. You do this, you stay fit. Will there ever be a
:13:42. > :13:46.point where you think, "I've had enough, let the bingo wings out"?
:13:46. > :13:52.No, I tell Yo for why. My husband married me when I was looking quite
:13:52. > :14:01.nice and I feel like I kind of owe it to him to stay looking all right.
:14:01. > :14:09.The other thing is, I get so much out of it myself. Fitness isn't all
:14:09. > :14:14.about looking nice on the outside, it is about what it does to your
:14:14. > :14:20.Indigo side. If I get my blood pressure taken, the doctor will go,
:14:20. > :14:26."You work out, don't you?" That makes me feel good. You know what I
:14:26. > :14:33.do to my husband, I do that! I prod him. Is he lovely? He is amazing.
:14:33. > :14:43.He is the love of my life! What is wrong with your tummy?! LAUGHTER
:14:43. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :15:03.Can you work out what these are? know exactly what that is. That has
:15:03. > :15:04.
:15:04. > :15:14.got to be something like that. you get it going... Will, I see.
:15:14. > :15:16.
:15:16. > :15:26.Try and touch my arm with that. have got it ex mark! We shall move
:15:26. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:38.on to this one, then. Try this one. You do that one. You must know what
:15:38. > :15:42.
:15:42. > :15:51.that one is. It is a luncher. It is not too embarrassing. Oh! Try this
:15:51. > :16:01.one. I don't even really want to pick it up for fear I may offend
:16:01. > :16:06.
:16:06. > :16:10.someone. It will probably end up in the attic! Oh, I see. Have you seen
:16:10. > :16:20.the one where the ball would Tates and you have to go like that to
:16:20. > :16:21.
:16:21. > :16:30.keep it going? I just used bales of hay! You are so rare that! Now to
:16:30. > :16:34.the story of War Horse. The film will be released on Friday. Before
:16:34. > :16:41.we talk to the opera, we have found out how he has tried to please his
:16:41. > :16:44.most dedicated of fans by turning fiction into fact.
:16:44. > :16:50.In the old school they used now for the village hall, below the clock
:16:50. > :16:58.that has always stood at 10 am, hangs a small dusty painting of a
:16:58. > :17:03.horse. The opening words to the book, War Horse. That passage has
:17:03. > :17:08.sent fans imaginations ablaze. Many of them have headed here, to the
:17:08. > :17:13.Devon village to catch a glimpse of that romantically described
:17:13. > :17:20.portrait of the novel's heroic horse. When the story was inspired
:17:20. > :17:28.by real tales of first-world-war heroism and friendship, and why it
:17:28. > :17:31.refers to her real village, the painting itself - it wasn't real.
:17:32. > :17:35.War Horse tells the tale of his journey from a Devon farm to the
:17:35. > :17:39.battlefields of France in the First World War and his close
:17:39. > :17:45.relationship with the boy who grew up alongside him. As the popularity
:17:45. > :17:49.has grown, so has the number of visitors which has given visitors -
:17:49. > :17:53.- locals a headache. How many people have come to this door to
:17:53. > :17:59.ask to see the picture? I don't think I could recount them all but
:17:59. > :18:04.it has been quite a lot. village all his next door, what you
:18:04. > :18:10.tell them? As the years went on, I had to make up a little stories to
:18:10. > :18:14.say it has been taken away and it will be coming back. For some, the
:18:14. > :18:21.story still has a very personal resonance. This Lady's husband
:18:21. > :18:24.shared his war experiences with the all that. Woolford was a huge
:18:24. > :18:33.inspiration for the book and now this major film, how does that make
:18:33. > :18:39.you feel? Very, very proud. I feel that he deserves to mentioned.
:18:39. > :18:49.Hopefully it will go down generations to realise what these
:18:49. > :18:51.men really did. A solution had to be found. It has ended up being
:18:52. > :18:57.this come a specially commissioned artwork which has recently been
:18:57. > :19:01.unveiled and hung up in the village hall. A splendid read bay with a
:19:01. > :19:05.remarkable cross blazoned on his forehead and with for a perfectly
:19:05. > :19:13.matched white socks. The next time people come Colin... And will bring
:19:13. > :19:18.them in here. Blurring between fiction and reality, it is nothing
:19:19. > :19:22.new. I produced two pieces of artwork, one to go into the village
:19:22. > :19:28.of permanently and the other was for the National Army Museum. For
:19:28. > :19:32.me, the pressure was to produce the painting Michael had in his head.
:19:32. > :19:39.Quite a lot of research went on to make sure it was right. In the
:19:39. > :19:43.burger, the painting is signed by James Nichols sold the painting in
:19:43. > :19:48.the village hall has that name painted on it. A that love people
:19:48. > :19:54.to wonder if it Israel or not. been the of the's real words, the
:19:54. > :20:01.black line has become a white one. There hangs a small, dusty painting
:20:01. > :20:09.of a horse. It now sits proudly above the clock but what a little
:20:09. > :20:12.artistic licence between friends? Michael, you were at the premiere
:20:12. > :20:18.of the film last night and you promised to send the Duchess Of
:20:18. > :20:25.Cambridge a copy of the book, had done so? I posted it this morning.
:20:26. > :20:30.That is a lie, I sent it on a motorbike at some will stop it was
:20:30. > :20:36.first published in 1932. Would you ever have imagined it would have
:20:36. > :20:42.been so popular? It sat on people's shelves and it didn't sell in
:20:42. > :20:48.bookshelves. I think it sold 2000 copies maximum a year. I think it
:20:48. > :20:54.was out of its time. It merely wants a price but didn't. The judge
:20:54. > :20:58.on there was Roald Dahl, who you might have heard of. He said that
:20:58. > :21:03.this is not a book for children because it is about war and history.
:21:03. > :21:07.I think in a way, he was proved right at the time. Or at that time,
:21:07. > :21:11.it was the cold war and people wanted to forget the war should
:21:11. > :21:16.there had been and I think there but it was nostalgic, maybe not
:21:16. > :21:21.appropriate for children. The sad truth of it is that we do war again
:21:21. > :21:25.in the last 15 years with Iraq and Afghanistan, sadly we have coffins
:21:25. > :21:31.coming home and the whole awareness of war and what it does to young
:21:31. > :21:37.men and women are too often forget for the families who live with that
:21:37. > :21:43.for ever afterwards, all this has come home to roost. I think the
:21:43. > :21:47.pity of war as well, is something which Omagh recognise again. It is
:21:47. > :21:53.something that so important that young children learn about the pity
:21:54. > :21:59.of war. We have to know where we come from. Steven Spielbergs then
:21:59. > :22:07.got his hands on it, what was it like working with him? Have you
:22:07. > :22:12.seen the film yet? It was brilliant. Then I can say I made the entire
:22:12. > :22:16.song, Steven Spielberg had nothing to do with it!. The man was
:22:16. > :22:22.wonderful. He consulted, he talked, we had meetings were his passion
:22:22. > :22:25.for the story really come across. I felt I was in the presence, not
:22:25. > :22:30.have a great Hollywood man but somebody he just loved telling
:22:30. > :22:36.stories. He was the man he made the tea and Schindler's List. If you
:22:36. > :22:43.can make those films in one lifetime, I thought, this man can
:22:43. > :22:48.do War Horse. You were happy from of a's perspective? In the end, you
:22:48. > :22:52.have to trust the person you hand it to. You cannot stand over the
:22:52. > :22:56.shoulder of someone up like Steven Spielberg and pretend you can make
:22:56. > :23:01.a movie. The great thing is to choose the right person. It is a
:23:01. > :23:06.brilliant watch and it is out on Friday. George McGavin has a
:23:06. > :23:16.brilliant idea for a new movie, a high-tech tale of an insect
:23:16. > :23:21.counter-terrorism unit. Yes, after War Horse comes... Security Bee.
:23:21. > :23:25.Bees are one of the most important insects on earth, providing us with
:23:25. > :23:34.their honey and bonnet are for it and vegetables and now they are set
:23:34. > :23:38.to revolutionise our national security. Here in Hertfordshire,

:24:55. > :25:01.this. It is not hurting her. The spring holds her gently in place.

:25:18. > :25:26.it on and allow her a few seconds to recognise the smell and then I
:25:26. > :25:32.will feed her. How many times what you have to do that to train at the
:25:32. > :25:41.be? As you see, often they will have already learned it. If I try
:25:41. > :25:45.it again... Look, she is responding. That is just amazing. Or just one
:25:45. > :25:52.trial, she has realised that the smell of this stuff means that she
:25:52. > :25:57.gets it. That is right. This incredible memory this makes these
:25:57. > :26:01.such expert at detecting food. Went out for a gin, if they like the
:26:01. > :26:05.nectar of a flower, they instantly remember the smell and location.

:26:20. > :26:29.extraordinary memory. It is this natural ability that is

:26:48. > :26:53.The question is, can these are find them? If the substance is detected,
:26:53. > :27:02.the these extended tongue will trigger a sensor which shows up as
:27:02. > :27:09.a red light. Oh, that is very, very Clear! Five of these bees have
:27:09. > :27:19.responded and these are the ones that were trained. So, that bide
:27:19. > :27:22.
:27:22. > :27:26.contained explosives? We will have a closer look at that. Now, my bag.
:27:26. > :27:36.Yes, we have quite a strong response here for the bees that

:27:42. > :27:46.bottle, I placed at the scent of cocaine and the bees have picked

:28:06. > :28:14.Unbelievable! It was a fantastic film. We will have these presenting
:28:14. > :28:18.next. You are presenting a new series of Got To Dance. �250,000,
:28:18. > :28:28.the prize? The dancers this year are ridiculously good, better than
:28:28. > :28:36.ever. This guy at the front was unbelievable, he is little rascals
:28:36. > :28:42.but he had such attitude. I cannot tell you if they're on the
:28:42. > :28:50.shortlist or not, you have to watch and see. That is all for tonight,
