0:00:11 > 0:00:17Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. We

0:00:17 > 0:00:22have got a full crew on board tonight. The Cornish sea shanty

0:00:22 > 0:00:27singers Fisherman's Friends are with us! They will be performing

0:00:27 > 0:00:31later in the show and they will be joined by a brand new member.

0:00:31 > 0:00:38Attention on deck for Captain Stephen Fry. Are you in good voice

0:00:38 > 0:00:46this evening? That is the question. I am never in good voice. I have

0:00:46 > 0:00:53fun golf's ear for music. Sadly. I wish. Do be honest, I am not keen

0:00:53 > 0:00:59either. Can we just do some mining? You have had a busy day today. You

0:00:59 > 0:01:03had some dental work done. Yes, crown. The coronation. Are you

0:01:03 > 0:01:07feeling OK? I forget with Twitter that everybody knows what I have

0:01:07 > 0:01:12been doing. You probably know that I have been to the lavatory several

0:01:12 > 0:01:17times as well! Many secrets come out. We will be talking to Stephen

0:01:17 > 0:01:21later about a big return to a role he has not played in several years.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24Gyles Brandreth returns to one of his favourite roles, Detective

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Inspector, on the trail of a father and son team behind the best

0:01:28 > 0:01:33forgeries that the art world has ever seen.

0:01:33 > 0:01:39In the autumn of 1989, an elderly man in Bolton claimed to have found

0:01:39 > 0:01:45this priceless Anglo-Saxon artefact in apart in Preston. Inside it

0:01:45 > 0:01:50contained a tiny piece of Christ's cross. But it was a fake. Forged by

0:01:50 > 0:01:54his son Sean. This would be the start of the 17 year conspiracy

0:01:54 > 0:01:57that became the biggest art and antiquities crime case in Britain.

0:01:57 > 0:02:03A couple in their eighties have admitted defrauding art galleries

0:02:03 > 0:02:07and antique dealers. More than 100 forged works. If real, the works

0:02:07 > 0:02:12would be worth some �4 million. This was their greatest trick. The

0:02:12 > 0:02:20Amarna Princess. The fake Egyptian statue so convincing that it was

0:02:21 > 0:02:25authenticated by the British Museum. For nearly two decades, their son

0:02:25 > 0:02:30created the forgeries in their garden shed, while their father

0:02:30 > 0:02:34George, and the most prestigious art galleries into buying them. --

0:02:34 > 0:02:38trip to the most prestigious art galleries. It changed the way that

0:02:38 > 0:02:45the art world goes about spotting fakes and con-artists. What stunned

0:02:45 > 0:02:50the experts was the range and variety of the cons, a particularly

0:02:50 > 0:02:58because Sean had no formal training whatever. It is amazing that

0:02:58 > 0:03:04somebody could do this in a garage. It is nothing short of genius.

0:03:04 > 0:03:06is their last forgery, an ancient Assyrian relief. It ultimately led

0:03:06 > 0:03:11to the undoing when Auctioneers finally noticed the staggering

0:03:11 > 0:03:16quantity of items attached to the name George Greenhalgh. They came

0:03:16 > 0:03:20in here with the big dossier of all the things which had been offered

0:03:20 > 0:03:26to the auction house by George Greenhalgh. This was not that all

0:03:26 > 0:03:32the picture that I had of this fairly homespun sort of chap up in

0:03:32 > 0:03:40Bolton, who had inherited things from his grandfather. When John

0:03:40 > 0:03:44took a closer look, he spotted a spelling error in the relief and

0:03:44 > 0:03:50this mistake in a harness. The relief was a fake and the family

0:03:50 > 0:03:54were rumbled. Sean was sentenced to four years in prison while his

0:03:54 > 0:03:58father George received a suspended sentence on medical grounds. Over

0:03:58 > 0:04:01100 forgeries were seized by police from museums across the country and

0:04:01 > 0:04:07they are now stored as evidence here at the top secret fine art

0:04:07 > 0:04:11lock-up. How did they get away with it for so long? They were going to

0:04:11 > 0:04:15different departments. The Syrian department, the Roman department.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20They turned up one week with a stone, the next with silver, and

0:04:20 > 0:04:23the two department did not talk to each other. Creating the pieces was

0:04:23 > 0:04:27only half the battle. To authenticate an item you need proof

0:04:27 > 0:04:33of its history, provenance. This was one of the items that they used

0:04:33 > 0:04:39as provenance. This looks old. is. The are faking the catalogue as

0:04:40 > 0:04:45well? They catalogue is genuine. It is dated back to 1892. It is a sale

0:04:45 > 0:04:51at Silverton Park in Devon. They purchased this in 1999 for a few

0:04:51 > 0:04:56pounds. There are descriptions of numerous items within it. It might

0:04:56 > 0:05:00say one Egyptian statue, one stone relief. What they did his they

0:05:00 > 0:05:05created an item based on that description. Then they take it to

0:05:05 > 0:05:08an expert and say it has been in the family since 1892, purchased by

0:05:08 > 0:05:13the great grandfather, and this is the catalogue to prove it and this

0:05:13 > 0:05:17is the item. Since this case, police are keen to encourage art

0:05:17 > 0:05:27experts that the ultimate provenance is forensic testing.

0:05:27 > 0:05:34identified the Assyrian relief. That is T which makes it look

0:05:34 > 0:05:44coloured like that. -- a cup of tea. It is thought that there could be

0:05:44 > 0:05:47numerous of fakes -- numerous fakes made by this family still out there.

0:05:47 > 0:05:51Police and experts have now learned to share their concerns about

0:05:51 > 0:05:57potential forgeries. Thanks to this case, lessons have been learned

0:05:58 > 0:06:03that have changed the nature of fraud detection. Bolton's amazing

0:06:03 > 0:06:08fake factory is finally closed for business.

0:06:08 > 0:06:13Thank you. Sean could have been such a good artist in his own right.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16Extraordinary. It seems amazing that with such talent in so many

0:06:16 > 0:06:20directions in painting and sculpture that he put it to

0:06:20 > 0:06:30criminal use and not original use. And it all came up of that garden

0:06:30 > 0:06:31

0:06:31 > 0:06:36shed. That is real art over there. The BAFTA mask. It is probably the

0:06:36 > 0:06:41best-known British award. After the Oscar, which was designed by Cedric

0:06:41 > 0:06:49Gibbons, as you probably know, the great art director. Supposedly it

0:06:49 > 0:06:53looked like his uncle Oscar. That is the theory. And you are

0:06:53 > 0:06:57returning to the role of host. on Sunday at the Royal Opera House.

0:06:57 > 0:07:02It is six years since you have done it and we were reading that you

0:07:02 > 0:07:07said you were so nervous before every performance. How are you

0:07:07 > 0:07:14feeling with three nights to go? am stuttering a little. You just

0:07:14 > 0:07:22don't want the thing to be Eddie or cheesy. Right! Nothing like a

0:07:22 > 0:07:25sandwich that you can buy in a shop, egg, cheese, hammy. You want it to

0:07:25 > 0:07:29glide. People think of award ceremonies as ego massaging,

0:07:29 > 0:07:34putting people on the back, but they are run important part of a

0:07:34 > 0:07:38business that brings in billions to this country and around the world.

0:07:38 > 0:07:41We are celebrating 50 years of James Bond, which is an amazing

0:07:42 > 0:07:45thing. The longest film franchise that there has ever been. We are

0:07:45 > 0:07:49celebrating the end of the most successful film franchise that has

0:07:49 > 0:07:53ever been, which is British, Harry Potter. And an incredible variety

0:07:53 > 0:08:00of films that keeps thousands of people in work. I know it does look

0:08:00 > 0:08:04like a love fest, but I think of it is done well it can be enjoyable

0:08:04 > 0:08:08television and people enjoy movies. I can give you this information

0:08:08 > 0:08:13because it is in the public domain, because this year was the first

0:08:13 > 0:08:16year that over �1 billion was taken in cinema receipts. For all the

0:08:16 > 0:08:21internet and all the illegal downloading, people still love

0:08:21 > 0:08:26going to the cinema. What a year for due to be doing it. It is a

0:08:26 > 0:08:30great year and we have a fantastic collection of stars, from across

0:08:30 > 0:08:36the Atlantic and home-grown. You stand on stage, and your eye has

0:08:36 > 0:08:46got to arrest someone. We can see what you will be seeing. -- rest

0:08:46 > 0:08:48

0:08:48 > 0:08:54some place. That is an artist's impression! Meryl Streep, Martin

0:08:54 > 0:08:59Scorsese. That is quite something. John Hurt is getting a special

0:08:59 > 0:09:02award. And quite rightly, too. He has spent decades being one of our

0:09:02 > 0:09:09finest actors. He goes under the radar because people forget how

0:09:09 > 0:09:11marvellous he is. If I had only done two films, one with an alien

0:09:11 > 0:09:19bursting out of my chest and another as the Elephant man, that

0:09:19 > 0:09:27would be a proud career on its own. Another great star is Miss Piggy

0:09:27 > 0:09:31and she will be on the red carpet with you. I know how. She has

0:09:31 > 0:09:35battered her eyelashes at me. I think you can see love in her eyes.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39It is marvellous to have the Muppets back. I don't know if you

0:09:39 > 0:09:44have seen the film. It is a wonderful idea behind that film. I

0:09:44 > 0:09:52will not spoil it but it is well worth seeing it. It is directed by

0:09:52 > 0:09:57a British man, who created flight of the Concordes and helped and --

0:09:57 > 0:10:02other people, too. An unknown British talent, probably because he

0:10:02 > 0:10:06works behind the scenes, but a brilliant talent. What will your

0:10:06 > 0:10:13tack it be? Jonathan Ross has hosted and Ricky Gervais did the

0:10:13 > 0:10:20Golden Globes. -- your tactic. Will there be controversy? Will it be

0:10:20 > 0:10:24polite? Would it be controversial to do it naked? Some people might

0:10:24 > 0:10:29find that controversial. Completely acceptable! I think it is

0:10:29 > 0:10:39reasonable. There is Elek turned so that is above nipple height. --

0:10:39 > 0:10:41

0:10:41 > 0:10:46Elek luck turned. Well, you may get some awards later but we will not

0:10:46 > 0:10:54give anything away. The winner of Best Sound could go to a concrete

0:10:54 > 0:11:00wall in Kent. Marty Jopson learnt sounds off about the amazing sound

0:11:00 > 0:11:04mirrors of Denge. In Kent stand these concrete structures, looking

0:11:04 > 0:11:08more like abstract sculpture. At one time they were the top secret

0:11:08 > 0:11:17front line of Britain's defence. In World War One, all our military had

0:11:17 > 0:11:21to anticipate an enemy attack worthies. -- was this. Then the

0:11:21 > 0:11:25sound Trumpet extended the range of human hearing on the battlefield.

0:11:25 > 0:11:28The listener could hear the sound of guns from far away and using

0:11:29 > 0:11:34some clever calculations they could work out exactly how far away and

0:11:34 > 0:11:39what direction. Vital information when you need to strike your enemy

0:11:39 > 0:11:42before they strike you. Between the First and Second World Wars, the

0:11:42 > 0:11:46distant aircraft that fly increased and British shores were no longer

0:11:46 > 0:11:50so. Could someone develop the equivalent of the sound trumpet to

0:11:51 > 0:11:55detect incoming aircraft? These are the sound mirrors of Denge and they

0:11:55 > 0:12:03are enormous. The largest one is 200 ft long. As the name suggests,

0:12:03 > 0:12:10they do not reflect light, but sound. Instructed by Major William

0:12:10 > 0:12:14Tucker between 1928 and 1930, the secret is in their curved shape. It

0:12:14 > 0:12:20concentrates and amplifies the sand, reflecting it on to a series of

0:12:20 > 0:12:24microphones. -- the sound. The listener can tell if an aircraft is

0:12:24 > 0:12:29coming and crucially what direction it is coming from. Let me show you

0:12:29 > 0:12:34how it works. This is a mirror and I can use it to focus, just like

0:12:34 > 0:12:44the sound era focuses sound, but this time I will focus the heat of

0:12:44 > 0:12:49

0:12:49 > 0:12:55There we go. Look at that. That is what happens if you focus the heat

0:12:55 > 0:13:01of the Sun. Of course this is exactly what the sound mirrors are

0:13:01 > 0:13:06doing. How effective were they? Each one had a range of 20 miles.

0:13:06 > 0:13:14How much notice did that give you? That gave the guys about a three-

0:13:14 > 0:13:22minute warning. We are going to but is nearer to the test. Our invader

0:13:22 > 0:13:27over -- we are going to put the mirror to the test. Our invader is

0:13:27 > 0:13:31over the channel and we are going to detect them using our ears, but

0:13:31 > 0:13:36I am going to use the sound wall. That will focus the sand on to the

0:13:36 > 0:13:46microphone. Hopefully I will be able to detect the aeroplane first.

0:13:46 > 0:13:48

0:13:48 > 0:13:58And it is not long before the mirror comes up trumps. I can hear

0:13:58 > 0:13:59

0:13:59 > 0:14:09it. It fades in and out but I can hear it. That is really clear. With

0:14:09 > 0:14:10

0:14:10 > 0:14:15the Mirror picking up the sound, though in his left waiting. -- he

0:14:15 > 0:14:20is left waiting. Only now does he hear it. That worked a treat. I

0:14:20 > 0:14:30could hear the oncoming aeroplane two-and-a-half minutes before him.

0:14:30 > 0:14:37

0:14:37 > 0:14:41That is all thanks to this amazing By the mid30s, new technology and

0:14:41 > 0:14:47everyincreasing aircraft speeds meant that Major William Tucker's

0:14:47 > 0:14:52sound mirrors became less effective. Radar spelled the end of the

0:14:52 > 0:14:56usefulness of sound mirrors, but after 80 years, they stand as a

0:14:56 > 0:15:01monument to Major William Tucker and British ingenuity.

0:15:01 > 0:15:05Brilliant technology, but it begs the question, how good is Owen's

0:15:05 > 0:15:12hearing! Stephen, to ensure you don't feel out of place for the

0:15:12 > 0:15:16awards, we have entered your own categories in the Stephen Awards.

0:15:17 > 0:15:23Fingers crossed, you will win some of these.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27Alex Jones, the first category? first category is... Most

0:15:27 > 0:15:36Persistent Attempt To Remake a Film. The winner is... It's Stephen Fry!

0:15:36 > 0:15:40Of course, it is Fry, now, here we are. This alludes to the re-make of

0:15:40 > 0:15:45Dam Busters. Yes, it is. It is a loaning time

0:15:45 > 0:15:50ago, but that was with Peter Jackson, who I am currently making

0:15:50 > 0:15:55the Hobbit with. There is so much more that we know

0:15:55 > 0:15:59now that we could not show in the 1954 film, we would not take

0:15:59 > 0:16:02anything away from it, but Peter is passionate about it. So am I. Thank

0:16:02 > 0:16:07you for that. Congratulations for the first award.

0:16:07 > 0:16:12Let's move on to the second category.

0:16:12 > 0:16:18This could get repetitive, by the way. It is Best Celebrity Airplane

0:16:18 > 0:16:23Pilot. The winner is... Have you guessed it? Yes, it's Stephen Fry!

0:16:23 > 0:16:32Congratulations. On the topic of by-planes? I have not kept in the

0:16:32 > 0:16:38hours to get a pilot licence. We know that Ewan McGregor's

0:16:39 > 0:16:43brother is a fine pilot, but I have had two planes in my time, a Tiger

0:16:43 > 0:16:49Moth and an Eagle. They are tail draggers with the tails at the back,

0:16:49 > 0:16:56rather than in the front. Which is rather sexy, I think.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59Indeed. Well, let's go on to the third and the final award. OK, the

0:16:59 > 0:17:06final award is Best Spotter of New Musical Talent. Now, I have no idea

0:17:06 > 0:17:12who the winner could be. Feel the tension. Here we go. It is...

0:17:12 > 0:17:20Stephen Fry! Congratulations, sir! Thank you! Thank you! This is for

0:17:20 > 0:17:25the review you gave Leeds singer Jon Gomm. It was a short critic?

0:17:25 > 0:17:30was it is three letters, wow! I saw this guy playing a guitar in the

0:17:30 > 0:17:36way I had never seen it before. He is an all-round genius. I thought

0:17:36 > 0:17:39that people should share the talent. He using the guitar in a really

0:17:39 > 0:17:43interesting way? It is wonderful to watch. Over 2 million people have

0:17:43 > 0:17:46watched it now. I am proud and happy. One the advantages much

0:17:46 > 0:17:49Twitter, to promote talent if you see it.

0:17:49 > 0:17:56Well, congratulations. Thank you.

0:17:56 > 0:18:02They will go on my award's shelf, or wing! They are a bit flimsy.

0:18:02 > 0:18:06No, and they do look a little bit like Michael Caine.

0:18:06 > 0:18:12Thank you! Well, there are many stars hoping for success as Stephen

0:18:12 > 0:18:17has had. You can see on BBC One on Sunday at 9.00pm. Now, Welsh

0:18:17 > 0:18:21composer Paul Mealor had great success at the last Christmas with

0:18:21 > 0:18:26the Military Wives Choir, but he has set himself a difficult project.

0:18:27 > 0:18:32He needs a voice with the almost impossible low E. Britain's low E

0:18:32 > 0:18:41cupboard is pretty bare. So we have sent Alex Riley to Aberdeen to see

0:18:41 > 0:18:46if he can help. # One... One! # When it comes to

0:18:46 > 0:18:50singing I think that I like to take it to the limit. One of Britain's

0:18:50 > 0:19:00most successful composers is looking out for singing that pushes

0:19:00 > 0:19:01

0:19:01 > 0:19:06the boundaries of what is humanly attainable! Better-known for

0:19:06 > 0:19:11composing the choral music for last year's Royal Wedding and the

0:19:11 > 0:19:15Military Wives Choir smash hit Christmas number one, composer Paul

0:19:15 > 0:19:21Mealor is now on a global hunt for a singer, capable of hitting a note

0:19:21 > 0:19:26so low, that it is thought never to have been sung before.

0:19:26 > 0:19:36At the top of the vocal range is the soprano who sings from C down

0:19:36 > 0:19:36

0:19:36 > 0:19:46to middle C. Somewhere in the middle is the alto,

0:19:46 > 0:19:47

0:19:47 > 0:19:54who takes us down to the E below middle C.

0:19:54 > 0:20:04And the bass has the lowest vocal range of all. Going down as low as

0:20:04 > 0:20:06

0:20:06 > 0:20:11two OK saves below middle C. Low, but still some way off what

0:20:11 > 0:20:17Paul has in mind. Paul, what is this incredibly low note that you

0:20:17 > 0:20:22want somebody to be able to sing? Well, it is the very low E, down

0:20:22 > 0:20:27here... That is low. Is it physically possible for somebody to

0:20:27 > 0:20:31actually sing that note? I think it is beyond the capabilities of the

0:20:32 > 0:20:36majority, but I think there are many out there, after a party and a

0:20:36 > 0:20:43couple of pints can get down there, Barry White style.

0:20:43 > 0:20:50I'm sure with a bit of training I could hit the elusive low E myself.

0:20:50 > 0:20:56Sing that one. No, an octave lower. Not quite!

0:20:56 > 0:21:00With the deepest bass singers in the country auditioning with little

0:21:01 > 0:21:05success, perhaps it is time to go out on the streets, to find out if

0:21:05 > 0:21:15there is undiscovered vocal talent out there. How low can people go.

0:21:15 > 0:21:27

0:21:27 > 0:21:30That was quite low. LAUGHTER Low! They were low, but

0:21:30 > 0:21:36nowhere near low enough. The search continues.

0:21:36 > 0:21:41No luck in Aberdeen. Stephen, could you be Paul's save your?

0:21:41 > 0:21:51I think there is something there, I really do! To be honest, you were

0:21:51 > 0:21:52

0:21:52 > 0:22:02better a time 20 years ago. Here we Oh, hello!

0:22:02 > 0:22:21

0:22:21 > 0:22:26Hey Jude. The terrors of the modern world.

0:22:26 > 0:22:31Now, it is time for some singing sea shanty style. Whilst we

0:22:31 > 0:22:35procedure for song from the Fisher. Carrie Grant has been to the other

0:22:35 > 0:22:39end of the British Isles to meet one of the last remaining voices of

0:22:39 > 0:22:44the her her. I'm as near to John O'Groats in the top of mainland

0:22:44 > 0:22:49Britain as I have ever been. This is Fraserburgh. It is in North East

0:22:49 > 0:22:54Scotland. It is one of the last fishing ports left in Britain. It

0:22:54 > 0:22:59is also one of the ports visited by an amazing group of women, known as

0:22:59 > 0:23:03the her her. At their peak there were over 6,000 of them. They were

0:23:03 > 0:23:11experts at gutting and curing fish. While they worked, they loved to

0:23:11 > 0:23:16sing. # In Stornoway and shields... #

0:23:16 > 0:23:20From the 1800s up to 1940, the Herring Lassies followed the North

0:23:20 > 0:23:27Sea fishing boats down Britain's east coastment while the men

0:23:27 > 0:23:32trawled and landed the fish, the women processed them.

0:23:32 > 0:23:36Historian Rosemary Sanderson is the author of a book on Herring Lassies.

0:23:36 > 0:23:43How many fish would a Herring Lassies gut within a minute? About

0:23:43 > 0:23:5160! Time was money it was peace work, they had to be fast it looks

0:23:51 > 0:23:56yet it is all done. What do you know about the songs? They had a

0:23:57 > 0:24:02chanting lyrics, that went well with fiscal labour.

0:24:02 > 0:24:06The her her were usually unmarried, they followed the fleet, staying in

0:24:06 > 0:24:11seaside boarding houses, carrying a trunk with all of their possessions.

0:24:11 > 0:24:16If they were lucky, they would persuade the fishermen to take it

0:24:16 > 0:24:21by boat. Fraserburgh fisherman, William

0:24:21 > 0:24:28White's mum was a her her. What was life like for the Herring Lassies?

0:24:28 > 0:24:34I could hear mum saying it was very, very hard. Stood in oil skins with

0:24:34 > 0:24:41the fingers wrapped in twine, but it was a very, very hard day.

0:24:41 > 0:24:46But they kept singing. Bunty Davidson is one of the few

0:24:46 > 0:24:50remaining her her. It is a forgotten time, a forgotten

0:24:50 > 0:24:55skill. You just gut the herring and take

0:24:55 > 0:25:02it out over there. This is disgusting, they did this

0:25:02 > 0:25:07all day? All day. From 6.00am to 1.00pm in the afternoon.

0:25:07 > 0:25:13The songs kept the spirit up, for heaven's sake.

0:25:13 > 0:25:21Your time as a Herring Lassies, do you look back at that fondly?

0:25:21 > 0:25:27It was awfy dirty. Well, I learn the how to get fish

0:25:27 > 0:25:35Bunty. Now I want to know more about the music. I have come to

0:25:35 > 0:25:42meet Irene Watt. IRA yeen collects and preserves the

0:25:43 > 0:25:49songs of the her her. That is beautiful. These songs seem to have

0:25:49 > 0:25:57a Cornish feel to them? Yes, they That song is four, four, time.

0:25:57 > 0:26:03You pick up the herring, you slit it and throw it. So it is

0:26:03 > 0:26:08# Fiddle Dee with the herring today. # So it works with the herring work.

0:26:08 > 0:26:13Can you teach me? Absolutely. OK, we don't need the harp. Let's

0:26:13 > 0:26:23do outside. Let's try the whole thing.

0:27:05 > 0:27:10We own left it three hours ago! this is all about the sea and fish

0:27:11 > 0:27:17shanty songs. Obviously these are taken to the boats and to the sea.

0:27:17 > 0:27:27Why did you do this? The shanties were designed to help the Saylors

0:27:27 > 0:27:27

0:27:27 > 0:27:36with their work. # Heavow way... # They would all

0:27:36 > 0:27:40sing together and do the work together. It made it more efficient.

0:28:26 > 0:28:32took the body out, the marines that escorted the body, took a drop of

0:28:32 > 0:28:35the brandy. Known as Nelson's blood. We are putting the words on the

0:28:36 > 0:28:39screen. Take it away. # Oh, a drop of Nelson's blood
