:00:07. > :00:14.Tonight, we will be celebrating success with the estate agent who
:00:15. > :00:18.went the extra mile to shift a house that could not be sold and the
:00:19. > :00:23.school that built a swimming pool because its children could not swim.
:00:24. > :00:27.And we will laugh in the face of failure with the Top Gear star whose
:00:28. > :00:31.new show is about the science of stupidity. There will be football
:00:32. > :00:45.tricks from these boys. They could go either way.
:00:46. > :00:58.Hello, welcome to the One Show. Tonight we welcome back to favourite
:00:59. > :01:10.guests who recognise that success is not final, failure is not fatal, and
:01:11. > :01:20.it is the courage to continue the accounts. It is nice and
:01:21. > :01:24.comfortable. We are all right. Celia has had a massively successful
:01:25. > :01:30.career. Is there a failure that haunts you? When I was seven I
:01:31. > :01:35.entered a piano competition. I thought that I knew the piece so
:01:36. > :01:41.well, I marched up onto the stage with no music and sat there. I had
:01:42. > :01:46.no idea. It was embarrassing. The time went on and I sat by the piano
:01:47. > :01:52.pinching myself because I thought I was dreaming. My teacher came up
:01:53. > :01:58.with the music. I put my hands there. It might as well have been
:01:59. > :02:04.Arabic. Nothing happened. I had to go off the stage. I think that is
:02:05. > :02:10.why I became an actress. It was so embarrassing. I was seven and I have
:02:11. > :02:13.never got over it. The science of stupid, were you delighted or
:02:14. > :02:21.slightly offended when they wanted you to present it? I am the logical
:02:22. > :02:31.choice. I could think of somebody else. It chimes so well. They came
:02:32. > :02:36.to me first. I said I will do it. Good news as far as Top Gear is
:02:37. > :02:44.concerned. In North Korea, Kim Jung-un, the leader, wants to put it
:02:45. > :02:52.out in North Korea. I think it is Teletubbies, as well. There are two
:02:53. > :03:01.of those in our show, as well! That is international. We are celebrating
:03:02. > :03:07.success and laughing in the face of failure. We want photographs of your
:03:08. > :03:13.own epic fails. Such as a bad hair day, a fashion faux pas, send them
:03:14. > :03:18.to the usual address and we will look at them later. A report by the
:03:19. > :03:20.Public Affairs Select Committee was published today looking at the
:03:21. > :03:27.manipulation of police crime statistics.
:03:28. > :03:31.Part of the report plays to the -- praised the honesty of an officer
:03:32. > :03:38.who spoke out against this. Lucy went to meet the man to find out
:03:39. > :03:42.whether he had any regrets on blowing the whistle.
:03:43. > :03:48.This is James Patrick, a serving police officer until two weeks ago.
:03:49. > :03:54.In 2012 he went public with concerns he had about the way crime was
:03:55. > :04:00.recorded. As many as 300 burglaries would disappear in a two-week
:04:01. > :04:05.period. There had been management intervention and the burglaries
:04:06. > :04:09.effectively disappeared. Becoming a whistle-blower is a big decision.
:04:10. > :04:15.You might see it as standing up for principles, but other people might
:04:16. > :04:20.call you a traitor. James worked in a special unit, processing data,
:04:21. > :04:25.when he discovered inconsistencies in how some crimes were reported and
:04:26. > :04:30.recorded. He told a Parliamentary committee it was a deliberate
:04:31. > :04:34.attempt to manipulate statistics. Robberies were being reported.
:04:35. > :04:40.Within a day, they would be downgraded to theft, or theft
:04:41. > :04:44.snatchers. It was intentional because it looked bad on the book
:04:45. > :04:51.not being given the correct investigations. What was the worst
:04:52. > :04:56.example you came across? One that sticks in my mind was a young girl
:04:57. > :05:01.who was a victim of a sexual offence. Effectively, she had
:05:02. > :05:06.pressure put on her to withdraw the allegation. It is not right. If a
:05:07. > :05:13.victim tells you this has happened to me, a crime is a crime. After
:05:14. > :05:19.trying to raise concerns internally, James felt he had no choice but to
:05:20. > :05:24.go public, despite the risk of facing disciplinary action. How did
:05:25. > :05:28.your colleagues respond? I got the reaction I expected with 50%
:05:29. > :05:35.respecting what I did and the other 50%, saying you are having a go at
:05:36. > :05:42.the Metropolitan Police. People are scared of the consequences of
:05:43. > :05:47.speaking out. James has not worked in over a year and although he has
:05:48. > :05:53.been paid, the uncertainty of what would happen to him has been a
:05:54. > :05:57.strain for his family. I have seen the impact on Laura, she does not
:05:58. > :06:01.sleep and worries at the level I do, worrying about the future. My
:06:02. > :06:07.family has been put in this situation. Is it something you
:06:08. > :06:14.cannot get away from, it is always on your mind? It is always on my
:06:15. > :06:19.mind. Not so much when I have the children around because I focus on
:06:20. > :06:24.them. How would you describe the last 12 months? It is like a tornado
:06:25. > :06:30.that hits you and destroys everything in five seconds. But the
:06:31. > :06:36.five seconds became six months, ten months, 18 months. Do you ever
:06:37. > :06:44.resent James for being a whistle-blower? I admire him. I do
:06:45. > :06:49.not blame him. Because it put us in a situation we are in now.
:06:50. > :06:57.Emotionally, I do not think it was worth it because we are going
:06:58. > :07:00.through hell and this is not over. James has since been disciplined for
:07:01. > :07:07.misconduct and resigned because he felt he had no choice. With no close
:07:08. > :07:16.family nearby, the support of friends is invaluable to the couple.
:07:17. > :07:21.It is not an isolated story. It is not like... You hear frequently...
:07:22. > :07:27.It is not a surprise that whistle-blowers are badly treated.
:07:28. > :07:34.It is shameful. These are people looking out for the public interest.
:07:35. > :07:40.They are brave and courageous. I really admire you for what you have
:07:41. > :07:45.done. James is now taking the Metropolitan
:07:46. > :07:50.Police to an employment tribunal but the costs are high and so he is
:07:51. > :07:55.representing himself. I am writing a letter before the tribunal, a
:07:56. > :08:02.notice, I am having to learn the law on-the-fly. This is quite a lot of
:08:03. > :08:07.work to do. It takes hours. James gave evidence to the public
:08:08. > :08:12.administration select committee. Two months later the UK Statistics
:08:13. > :08:17.Authority withdrew its endorsement of police crime statistics because
:08:18. > :08:21.it had lost trust in them. Apart from the employment tribunal, James
:08:22. > :08:26.must now decide what to do with his life. Where does it end? Can you see
:08:27. > :08:32.a future when it is not hanging over you? The psychological impact is so
:08:33. > :08:37.heavy. I have had moments when I thought, you are in over your head,
:08:38. > :08:46.but I have not regretted doing it and I never will.
:08:47. > :08:51.Lucy is with us now. There is a new Parliamentary report out today based
:08:52. > :08:58.on James' evidence. The report by the select committee
:08:59. > :09:02.puts the boot into the police and the way they rely on crime
:09:03. > :09:08.statistics and record them. It does not pull any punches. For example, a
:09:09. > :09:19.delay on Scott -- by Scotland Yard over addressing rape figures. The
:09:20. > :09:23.report describes the incident of a damning indictment of inertia and a
:09:24. > :09:31.lack of leadership. The committee chair has referred to what he calls
:09:32. > :09:37.a target junkie culture. The dependency on the targets to solve
:09:38. > :09:43.crime. The report says it is inappropriate to use those targets.
:09:44. > :09:48.He criticised the Commissioner and the report does not pull any punches
:09:49. > :09:52.from the top brass. The attitude and behaviour that led to the
:09:53. > :09:58.misreporting of crime had become ingrained, including in senior
:09:59. > :10:03.leadership, so incredibly critical, apart from James Patrick. They
:10:04. > :10:06.commend his courage for speaking out and for fulfilling his duties to the
:10:07. > :10:12.highest standard of public service to spy pressure not to. The MPs said
:10:13. > :10:15.they had doubts that the Metropolitan Police have treated
:10:16. > :10:23.James Patrick fairly or with respect and care. What did the police say?
:10:24. > :10:27.On crime statistics they said recording is complicated and it is
:10:28. > :10:32.inevitable they will not always get it right. They are committed to
:10:33. > :10:35.accurate recording of figures and on looking at allegations. They say
:10:36. > :10:42.they have launched an investigation into crime recording. It was an
:10:43. > :10:46.emotional film. You have to admire James the bravery but you can see
:10:47. > :10:52.the impact it had on him and his wife. What is the future for the
:10:53. > :10:55.couple? The misconduct findings from the
:10:56. > :11:04.Metropolitan Police focused on the fact he had published a blog and
:11:05. > :11:10.e-book. Have they mention James, the Metropolitan Police?
:11:11. > :11:16.They have. They said he was issued with a final written warning
:11:17. > :11:22.following the misconduct hearing and they accepted his resignation. In
:11:23. > :11:26.terms of his future, he is taking the Metropolitan Police to the
:11:27. > :11:32.tribunal and seeking damages. The first hearing was yesterday. He is
:11:33. > :11:40.representing himself and so he will be very much wrapped up in this case
:11:41. > :11:50.for the immediate future. Lucy, thanks. As the Easter holiday
:11:51. > :11:55.gets under way, Lord Coe said young people today are the most
:11:56. > :11:59.interactive generation ever. One way of getting children away from
:12:00. > :12:05.screens is to take them swimming. These days many children lose out on
:12:06. > :12:09.the chance to learn. It has led some schools taking extraordinary steps
:12:10. > :12:12.to reverse the trend. This is an Olympic medal winning Keri-Anne
:12:13. > :12:18.Payne with the report. When I grew up I wanted to swim and
:12:19. > :12:23.I was lucky. My dream took me around the world and brought the Olympic
:12:24. > :12:29.and world medals. Swimming changed my life. Children today do not seem
:12:30. > :12:34.to have the same opportunity. What worries me figures released in 2013.
:12:35. > :12:38.Despite the fact the National Curriculum says that all children
:12:39. > :12:44.should be able to swim 25 metres by the time they leave primary school,
:12:45. > :12:49.only a fraction can. In Hackney, that number is 23%. I have come to
:12:50. > :12:54.this primary school to come and find out what is going on. Have you
:12:55. > :12:59.learned how to swim? My younger one is frightened of the water. My
:13:00. > :13:09.daughter used to but not any more. She can do the dog paddling. There
:13:10. > :13:14.are under 650 children here and the majority are not confident swimmers.
:13:15. > :13:21.When I went into the swimming pool I was frightened. The first time I
:13:22. > :13:26.pretty much sank into the water. One main problem particularly in cities
:13:27. > :13:30.is the lack of infrastructure. In Hackney there are 52 other schools
:13:31. > :13:36.and 13 secondary schools. In the area, there are only four swimming
:13:37. > :13:42.pools. Schools try, but logistics are a nightmare. You have to be able
:13:43. > :13:45.to get there as well. To go for the swimming lesson you have to leave
:13:46. > :13:49.the school and get to the swimming pool and back again, which can take
:13:50. > :13:54.a morning of your jam-packed timetable. If they cannot get to the
:13:55. > :14:00.swimming pool, why not take it to the kids? A project called make a
:14:01. > :14:09.Splash has built 24 temporary swimming pools in schools around
:14:10. > :14:14.London. This is portable. It has taught thousands of children how to
:14:15. > :14:17.swim. This primary School have it for one term only and have set
:14:18. > :14:27.themselves the challenge to teach pupils to swim in that time. Here is
:14:28. > :14:32.excited to go swimming? This class with a first in and I could tell
:14:33. > :14:38.they were nervous, especially these two, with whom I spent time. We will
:14:39. > :14:47.just practice with noses on top of the water. Like this. That is it,
:14:48. > :14:56.well done. That is amazing. That is what you need to do. Why can you not
:14:57. > :15:01.do it, this is the first time? Seeing how hard it was the grace and
:15:02. > :15:05.Nathan being in the water underlined the huge challenge it will be,
:15:06. > :15:10.especially when you add this into the mix. The Olympics winning pool.
:15:11. > :15:14.In 11 weeks the primary school will go there for a special gala, where
:15:15. > :15:22.the children will attempt to swim 25 metres.
:15:23. > :15:34.Make a splash, try not to bash. Splash, splash, splash. Six weeks
:15:35. > :15:42.have gone by and I'm back to school to see how well the kids are getting
:15:43. > :15:46.on. Most of them have started to complete the 25 metres, but some of
:15:47. > :15:49.them, they don't achieve the 25 metres because some children, they
:15:50. > :15:56.have never been in a swimming pool before. I especially want to catch
:15:57. > :16:04.up with grace and Nathan who were so nervous. Howdy think it's going? I
:16:05. > :16:13.think it's going really well. Have you been practising? Yes. I want to
:16:14. > :16:18.hurry up and get into the water. I just look at the difference that a
:16:19. > :16:26.few weeks can make. The nerves have gone, they are relaxed, it's so
:16:27. > :16:33.lovely to see. That's it. So six weeks ago, I was here with this
:16:34. > :16:36.class, the first class to get in, to see the improvement in six weeks is
:16:37. > :16:41.so great to see. We are four weeks away from the gala, I think they
:16:42. > :16:46.will all be able to swim with the five metres but will they be able to
:16:47. > :16:50.do it unaided? Later in the show we'll be at the
:16:51. > :16:54.Olympic Aquatic Centre to see if those 642 pupils achieve their goal.
:16:55. > :17:02.And from the "school that couldn't swim" to our team of the week who
:17:03. > :17:09.spend their lives in the pool. Please explain! Basically, believe
:17:10. > :17:18.it or not, we are playing underwater rugby. Britain's first and only
:17:19. > :17:24.underwater rugby players! It's extraordinary. I know you are
:17:25. > :17:34.registered with ruptured. How do you play it? It's played with two teams
:17:35. > :17:40.of swimmers. In four 25 metre deep pools, with a basket, with a ball
:17:41. > :17:45.full of soap and water, and the idea is to put it in the basket at the
:17:46. > :17:54.other end. Have you made this up in the pub? As all right because, we do
:17:55. > :17:59.like to go to the pub. But this is a game that started in 60s in Germany,
:18:00. > :18:09.we have: B and, we have finished, we have Kiwis. -- we have Colombians,
:18:10. > :18:15.we have ends. We have Slovakians. If you are the only team, who do you
:18:16. > :18:19.play against? With British sub Aqua's help, we set up, last year,
:18:20. > :18:26.we are training the sunken petitions, we are going to a
:18:27. > :18:29.competition in Florence. In August, we're having a competition at the
:18:30. > :18:39.world alternative games down in Wales. It's quite heavy! The ball is
:18:40. > :18:46.negatively buoyant, it's not allowed to break the surface. You have to
:18:47. > :18:51.hold your breath for an extraordinarily long amount of time,
:18:52. > :18:55.don't you? Yes, it is quite difficult, but as you play the
:18:56. > :19:03.sport, you can time that a bit better. You are waiting for the
:19:04. > :19:12.limit would we believe you! Good luck in Florence, team of the week!
:19:13. > :19:15.Now Richard got some serious stick from his Top Gear colleagues after
:19:16. > :19:18.splashing out on top-of-the-range sports car which was recently
:19:19. > :19:29.recalled after two of the same cars suddenly burst in to flames. This is
:19:30. > :19:33.the thing, though. But they couldn't really call him stupid because he
:19:34. > :19:44.had no idea that would happen, it was just unlucky. He is now, look.
:19:45. > :19:50.It was unexpected. Why did you have to mention that? Because it links
:19:51. > :19:53.nicely into this. But the same can't really be said for some of the
:19:54. > :19:58.people who star in Richard's new show. I like what you have done but
:19:59. > :20:03.not how you have done it! The classic double backflip. Back
:20:04. > :20:09.flipping is clearly best left to train the gymnasts. He is the
:20:10. > :20:14.science behind their success. There are two parts to the perfect
:20:15. > :20:18.backflip. Part one, from a solid base, he jumped straight up coming
:20:19. > :20:25.using legs and arms for maximum height. Part two, the rotation bit.
:20:26. > :20:29.He takes his knees into his chest to accelerate the spin. It is the law
:20:30. > :20:37.of conservation of angular momentum. When you halve your length, you
:20:38. > :20:40.quadruple your spin speed. So you are now looking at the science
:20:41. > :20:48.behind all these bonkers clips that we see. It's a side show. It is a
:20:49. > :20:53.science show, it's series, its educational! On the one hand, you
:20:54. > :21:00.have people falling flat on their faces but on the other, it's a
:21:01. > :21:06.voyage of scientific discovery, it has integrity, sincerity, depth. And
:21:07. > :21:12.it prevents people making the same mistakes! That is a serious point.
:21:13. > :21:22.Throughout the series, there are... ! When you noticed my motion is
:21:23. > :21:27.coming up, it's painful! The point is commented about prevention. I was
:21:28. > :21:31.nervous about that. Essentially, the show is made up of you watch people
:21:32. > :21:38.doing stupid things, and then it goes horribly wrong and I pop up and
:21:39. > :21:46.explain it. You see exactly what has gone wrong. So it's very credible,
:21:47. > :21:50.but I felt exactly that, what if people see it and do it, I would
:21:51. > :21:56.feel bad. You know what, the last thing you will want to do is do any
:21:57. > :21:59.of these things. It is awful, because there is something in all of
:22:00. > :22:08.us that laughs when people hurt themselves. Do you like these shows,
:22:09. > :22:18.Celia? I can't believe you laugh! I get cross when someone laughs. But I
:22:19. > :22:24.do. It's human. We are glad it's not us. It's relief, isn't it? And it's
:22:25. > :22:30.awkward. I am finding it awkward! If somebody else falls over, it's an
:22:31. > :22:37.explosion of energy because it's not us, basically. Do you say whether
:22:38. > :22:47.people hurt themselves? Some of them do, a bit. Not massively! You look
:22:48. > :22:51.at weightlifters... It is scientifically, rigourously
:22:52. > :22:57.explained. National Geographic or very strict and everything has to be
:22:58. > :23:00.checked. An insider told us there is an international market where they
:23:01. > :23:02.buy these funny clips. And we wondered how much we would get for
:23:03. > :23:31.this one. That's me! You should see the mess.
:23:32. > :23:38.I was going to show you how to do a backflip, but I can't because of
:23:39. > :23:44.this hip. I can't move from this position, seriously. In your mind,
:23:45. > :23:49.it was going to work. That moment when you thought, it's going to look
:23:50. > :23:58.like this, that's the bit I love. It's the build-up! There it is. We
:23:59. > :24:04.have some more. You at home have been bravely sending in your own
:24:05. > :24:14.bails for us to show. Here's Ricky English from Hornchurch in Essex.
:24:15. > :24:24.Classic. Balance and momentum there. We have got another one here. This
:24:25. > :24:33.is a ten-year-old. This was sent in by her mum, Samantha. That's a
:24:34. > :24:44.classic. We love our view is! Hope she is OK. I wonder if she has gone
:24:45. > :24:51.ice-skating since? You can see Science of Stupid on the National
:24:52. > :24:54.Geographic channel, tonight at 10pm. Now will Celia and Richard fail or
:24:55. > :25:00.succeed in the little artistic challenge we're about to set them.
:25:01. > :25:06.You mentioned my embarrassing car, what are you going to do now? If you
:25:07. > :25:18.could make your way into our art area. As you can see, ready and
:25:19. > :25:25.posed is our life shoring model. During our next film... Richard has
:25:26. > :25:35.plenty of experience! It's just a quick sketch! Just get on with it!
:25:36. > :25:39.Here's a film about how working as a life model can boost your
:25:40. > :25:46.confidence. Are you both ready? I have started!
:25:47. > :25:51.Modelling is often thought to be a young girl 's game but does greying
:25:52. > :25:57.hair, a few wrinkles and the inescapable effect of gravity really
:25:58. > :26:00.spell the end of a woman's beauty? Angela, Susanna and Susie have all

:26:06. > :26:09.empowering themselves. When these women entered the ring, trust me,
:26:10. > :26:17.everybody is going to be paying attention. -- enter the room. I hear
:26:18. > :26:27.you have an interesting job. Indeed I have. I am an actor and life
:26:28. > :26:37.model. Which means? I take my clothes off for my work! The
:26:38. > :26:40.opportunity fell into my lap after reading an article, I was just
:26:41. > :26:45.inspired and I thought, I am going to go for it. I haven't looked back
:26:46. > :26:54.since. How long have you been modelling? About three weeks! This
:26:55. > :26:57.is actually my second job. When you tell people you take your clothes
:26:58. > :27:04.off for your work, how do they react? I didn't tell them! I did
:27:05. > :27:08.this for me. It makes me feel alive and happy and it makes me feel like
:27:09. > :27:16.I'm making a valuable contribution to society. What makes you decide it
:27:17. > :27:20.is for you? After looking after small children and not feeling
:27:21. > :27:25.employ a book I felt my life had reached a standstill, I find it
:27:26. > :27:29.difficult to move forward. Was there a point when you felt low
:27:30. > :27:34.self-esteem in your life? Definitely. Before my daughter was
:27:35. > :27:42.born and sometime afterwards, my own self esteem was on the back burner.
:27:43. > :27:49.I think that was debilitating. I felt old and stressed, I lost part
:27:50. > :27:54.of the real me. It was like being trapped in this body that I didn't
:27:55. > :28:00.recognise as being mine. Because in my head, I'm still 18. So I had to
:28:01. > :28:06.break out, basically, and reinvent myself, find myself again. But
:28:07. > :28:11.Angela's decision to bare all came as a surprise to husband David. I
:28:12. > :28:16.was concerned, I probably didn't want her to do it. I suppose it's
:28:17. > :28:23.about being seen by other people, I guess. Being seen naked. Because
:28:24. > :28:31.obviously, she had only been naked in front of you for 42 years. As far
:28:32. > :28:36.as I am aware! But there is a lot of pride in it now, and I really do
:28:37. > :28:42.like the artistic side of it. What changes have you seen in her? She is
:28:43. > :28:48.much more confident and a lot happier. And if she is happier...
:28:49. > :28:54.Then you are happy! Do you think that older women can feel beautiful?
:28:55. > :28:59.I definitely feel they can, but that doesn't come from cosmetic surgery
:29:00. > :29:05.or airbrushing magazines, it has to come from self-confident and feeling
:29:06. > :29:08.happy within yourself and at peace. I am still early days with this but
:29:09. > :29:14.it feels good to do this. It definitely is empowering. It is
:29:15. > :29:19.about doing anything you want to do, try and go for it, not necessarily
:29:20. > :29:27.what I am doing, but do it, if you want to reinvent yourself, give it a
:29:28. > :29:36.go! Thanks to everyone who took part in
:29:37. > :29:40.the film and to our life model Suzy! Richard is very modest and he is
:29:41. > :29:49.brilliant at sketching. You are making it worse! Are you ready to
:29:50. > :29:57.show us? No! You have to, because we are alive. Therefore
:29:58. > :30:09.You pleased with that? I do. Lots of potential. Celia, you have had
:30:10. > :30:17.experience in Calendar Girls are doing this. It is daring. I applaud
:30:18. > :30:23.the girls who have done it in a room by themselves. We had each other,
:30:24. > :30:31.and we also had Helen Mirren, she was helping us. Moral support. You
:30:32. > :30:38.had champagne and twiglets afterwards. Of course. On the day,
:30:39. > :30:43.you have to get on with it. You could not say I do not want to do
:30:44. > :30:49.this bit. You had to do it because it was the whole point of the film.
:30:50. > :30:53.In this scene from your new film, The Love Punch, it looks like you
:30:54. > :31:03.are getting ready to join the underwater rugby players. Do you
:31:04. > :31:32.swim? How about climbing? I was in the Australian Parachute Regiment.
:31:33. > :31:42.7.28. Let's do this. Oh, yes. This will be exciting. It is a great
:31:43. > :31:51.film. Very cosy, quite farcical, fantastic. I do not understand why
:31:52. > :31:55.it is called The Love Punch. It is about Pierce Brosnan, who runs his
:31:56. > :32:00.firm, he hits the day of retirement. He has encouraged
:32:01. > :32:04.workers to take out pensions, he gets to the firm and realises the
:32:05. > :32:10.money has gone, the pension has gone, taken by the new owner.
:32:11. > :32:18.Instead of just lying back, he thinks I am not going to have that
:32:19. > :32:25.lying down, I will go after this man who's spent all of the pension on a
:32:26. > :32:32.revolting, huge diamond ring for his girlfriend. He thinks I will get it
:32:33. > :32:39.back. We set out on this caper. Where do you come into it? I am one
:32:40. > :32:44.of the best friends of the glamorous couple, Emma Thompson and Pierce
:32:45. > :32:51.Brosnan. Timothy Spall and I'd, you saw us in the back, making faces. I
:32:52. > :32:59.could not work the flippers. Work them? I noticed, you were walking
:33:00. > :33:03.backwards. When you see me going into the sea, I fall into quickly,
:33:04. > :33:10.but I got a laugh, because I did it wrong. I suppose it is about the
:33:11. > :33:16.relationship between you and your husband and Emma Thompson and Pierce
:33:17. > :33:20.Brosnan. They have been married, divorced and separated, but I am a
:33:21. > :33:26.great romantic and I want to get them back together. Will they? In
:33:27. > :33:36.January, you were in India, to make the 2nd... Best exotic marigold H.
:33:37. > :33:46.Will the second live up to the first? -- Best Exotic Marigold
:33:47. > :33:50.Hotel. The writer wants to call it the second Best Exotic Marigold
:33:51. > :33:57.Hotel, but the Americans are not keen about that. They are the money.
:33:58. > :34:07.But it has been fantastic to be back there. Two years later. Wonderful.
:34:08. > :34:17.The 18th of April, The Love Punch is out. Talking of marigolds, I don't
:34:18. > :34:20.know how many featured in the entries to this year's One Show
:34:21. > :34:24.garden design competition, but now that entry has closed, Christine and
:34:25. > :34:27.our other judges have the difficult task of selecting the best three.
:34:28. > :34:33.Designing a garden is not an easy task but it did not deter you. You
:34:34. > :34:39.sent in entries by the sackful. Look at this. Today, I need to pick three
:34:40. > :34:46.finalists with the help of fellow judges, Adam frost, garden designer,
:34:47. > :34:52.and Dave Green, who runs the Hampton Court Flower Show, where the winning
:34:53. > :34:56.design will be installed. It was a competition to design a garden to
:34:57. > :35:03.celebrate your community. We had over 100 entries from all over the
:35:04. > :35:07.UK. The quality is fantastic. They are as good as some of the gardens
:35:08. > :35:11.from professionals. It will be a challenge to come up with a short
:35:12. > :35:18.list. The winning design must be a show stopper. There is a sense of
:35:19. > :35:22.theatre. We need something to turn heads and make visitors stop and
:35:23. > :35:30.look. That will be the key to the winner. How we will agree, it will
:35:31. > :35:35.be interesting. I would like the -- I like this design that tells the
:35:36. > :35:42.story of chemical contamination in Wakefield. Adam thought it had too
:35:43. > :35:48.much going on. 20 ideas, two or three strong ideas in one space, it
:35:49. > :36:00.ends up making a great garden. This garden from Stockport, we felt the
:36:01. > :36:05.ambitious design would go over the ?45,000 budget and two-week built
:36:06. > :36:12.period. A half finished showed garden is the worst thing in the
:36:13. > :36:17.world. After hours of debate, we picked the 12 strongest entries. The
:36:18. > :36:20.next stage is to choose three finalists. We might not speak to
:36:21. > :36:27.each other after this. We have three for the final short list and I think
:36:28. > :36:34.sparks will fly. If that went to Hampton Court, very few people would
:36:35. > :36:41.say Bath, or, Roman. People would get it. This is what is wrong with
:36:42. > :36:49.design. Every design seems to divide us. To me, you instantly can see
:36:50. > :36:54.what it is about. You are right. There is a lot of copper and
:36:55. > :37:02.waterfalls and a ruined mine. I get the story, I am not convinced. That
:37:03. > :37:07.scares me. I like this, therefore, it is staying, whether you to like
:37:08. > :37:17.it or not! Eventually, we have a verdict. Time to give the finalists
:37:18. > :37:21.the good news. That is very excited Alexander Noble, the Roman Bath
:37:22. > :37:27.inspired garden even won over in the end. Joining her will be Helen Reid
:37:28. > :37:34.and Holly Crosby with designs inspired by silk weavers of
:37:35. > :37:43.Spitalfields in London. And John Kane and his design. Now the amateur
:37:44. > :37:52.gardeners will pitch their design to us face-to-face. This weekend, we
:37:53. > :37:57.will decide which one of them will have their gardens brought to life
:37:58. > :38:01.at Hampton Court. And a big thank you to everybody who
:38:02. > :38:07.entered. In the next couple of weeks, the three finalists will be
:38:08. > :38:12.in the studio as we announce who will see their design at Hampton
:38:13. > :38:18.Court Flower Show. And the best of luck to the finalists. In a moment
:38:19. > :38:24.we will chat to these boys, who are known as F2, two of the best
:38:25. > :38:27.freestyle foot wall is in the world. Before that, we will see how they
:38:28. > :39:05.kept the crowds entertained this afternoon.
:39:06. > :39:23.Oh, yes! F2. Billy Wingrove and Jeremy Lynch. Welcome. How did this
:39:24. > :39:27.start? It was a hobby from a child, practising in spare time, and it
:39:28. > :39:30.involved into this job will stop two years ago we decided to start the
:39:31. > :39:36.double act and since then we have gone from strength to strength,
:39:37. > :39:43.making videos and a new TV show at London live. And you are massive.
:39:44. > :39:47.You are professionals, going around the world. How good does it feel
:39:48. > :39:54.when it goes in after kicking it from the top? It is a great feeling.
:39:55. > :39:59.You will spend hours trying to get a shot and sometimes it happens first
:40:00. > :40:06.time. There is a level you can go to, how do you come up with new
:40:07. > :40:11.tricks? He has a creative mind. We both have. Sometimes we will have a
:40:12. > :40:19.brainstorming session to think of fresh things. You use cars and all
:40:20. > :40:23.sorts. With freestyle, it is 90% practice, but it is the 10% of
:40:24. > :40:30.creativity that matters and sets you apart. With this show, it emphasises
:40:31. > :40:34.asked doing challenges. We have been lucky enough, things we have thought
:40:35. > :40:38.of which we did not have the facilities to do before, giving it
:40:39. > :40:45.to the production team, they have made it happen. Do you play
:40:46. > :40:52.football? We used to more, it is difficult now, because if we get
:40:53. > :40:57.injured, no more F2. We go on the football pitch and we are targets,
:40:58. > :41:04.we do one skill and the main thing is, chop them. It is all about world
:41:05. > :41:10.records these days. Later, you are going to have a go. Wearing
:41:11. > :41:18.stilettos. That is a record in itself. You will have to play in
:41:19. > :41:22.high heels from now on. I hope I do not mess it up. Viewers in London
:41:23. > :41:29.can see F2 on the New London channel. And now Sarah has a story
:41:30. > :41:32.about the opening of the major sports event this summer that is
:41:33. > :41:40.making some Glasgow residents see red.
:41:41. > :41:44.Iconic, aspirational, sublime. It is how the eight blocks that once made
:41:45. > :41:51.up the Red Road flats were once described. The housing scheme holds
:41:52. > :41:58.a firm place in city Heritage and the thousands of people it was a
:41:59. > :42:06.place they called home. For many, flats cast a shadow of neglect over
:42:07. > :42:11.the city and many have been Derek -- derelict for years. They will be
:42:12. > :42:16.demolished as part of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony
:42:17. > :42:23.in front of a TV audience. At the event has sparked a fierce debate.
:42:24. > :42:29.Since the announcement there has been a public outcry, with 11,000
:42:30. > :42:35.people signing a petition opposing the demolition. Many called it ill
:42:36. > :42:40.timed, callous and insensitive. What do the people of Glasgow think of
:42:41. > :42:45.the idea? I thought it was unusual. I do not see why an event like that
:42:46. > :42:52.is appropriate for the opening ceremony. I thought it was a great
:42:53. > :42:57.message. The common wealth games is a wonderful thing to be happening in
:42:58. > :43:01.Glasgow but to decide to blow up something that has so much history,
:43:02. > :43:05.to tie in with the common wealth games, when they could have had
:43:06. > :43:10.fireworks, maybe a parade in the city centre, it is thoughtless. It
:43:11. > :43:15.is an interesting idea and different. The idea was conceived by
:43:16. > :43:23.the creative minds behind Glasgow 2014. Mark O'Neal thinks that people
:43:24. > :43:31.should embrace the idea. Is this in bad taste? Is it right to do it in
:43:32. > :43:36.front of a worldwide audience? A criticism of big events is that they
:43:37. > :43:43.gloss over social problems. I think the director is saying that Glasgow
:43:44. > :43:50.is not glossing over anything. That we have learned from that. If you
:43:51. > :43:52.want to say Glasgow is a city that is fighting and looking for a
:43:53. > :44:01.future, it is giving the right message. When the demolition takes
:44:02. > :44:06.place, an exclusion zone will see hundreds of people evacuated from
:44:07. > :44:14.the surrounding area. One of the blocks will be kept, to house
:44:15. > :44:19.hundreds of asylum seekers. The woman who set up the petition is
:44:20. > :44:24.opposed to the idea. I cannot imagine the organisers of the
:44:25. > :44:30.ceremony plan to diss unite the country at the opening ceremony. I
:44:31. > :44:35.would have hoped for a celebration that united people. I think the
:44:36. > :44:41.effort at the London Olympics one people over. There was negativity,
:44:42. > :44:45.but not about him celebrating the NHS by blowing up a hospital. I do
:44:46. > :44:53.not think that would have been considered appropriate. Organisers
:44:54. > :44:57.must have known the decision was going to be controversial. Let's
:44:58. > :45:02.hope that when the dust settles, Glasgow's role in the common wealth
:45:03. > :45:11.games will be truly memorable. -- Commonwealth Games. The organisers
:45:12. > :45:16.have agreed to meet protesters next week to discuss the planned
:45:17. > :45:20.demolition. If they were not due to be knocked down, they would be a
:45:21. > :45:24.hard sell for the two people we are about to meet, the stars of the
:45:25. > :45:32.documentary series about our obsession with property. whatever
:45:33. > :45:40.your opinion of estate agents, the job is to sell.
:45:41. > :45:49.I have been an estate agent for just over two years. Lewis Rossiter is
:45:50. > :45:57.the 30-year-old manager of an estate agents in Exeter.
:45:58. > :46:07.I am the guy that at the wedding, I make a fool of myself. I am sick in
:46:08. > :46:14.the U rhino. This lady is another branch manager of estate agents in
:46:15. > :46:20.the north-east. People's perception of estate agents is that they've
:46:21. > :46:25.tell lies, and they are stereotyped. I don't cheat people, I don't tell
:46:26. > :46:34.lies, I try to be honest, truthful, helpful and try and do a good job
:46:35. > :46:38.for them. That was a clip from Under Offer Estate Agents on the Job,
:46:39. > :46:41.which starts tonight on BBC Two and we're joined now by Lewis Rossiter
:46:42. > :46:44.an estate agent from Exeter in Devon and Lynne Blaney who works as an
:46:45. > :46:50.estate agent in Spennymoor, County Durham welcome both. As Matt said,
:46:51. > :46:54.you work in different parts of the country, where the property markets
:46:55. > :47:04.can be different. Lynne, what is it like in your area? Lots of free
:47:05. > :47:07.possessions. Lots of cheap houses. Let's not forget that we deal with
:47:08. > :47:12.the lower end of the spectrum as well as what we class as the higher
:47:13. > :47:21.end, you can get a lot for your money. You like to make a fool of
:47:22. > :47:26.yourself at weddings? Many times. My parents are proud of me. Yes, Exeter
:47:27. > :47:30.is not as crazy as London but it's very busy, the city has gone through
:47:31. > :47:36.a big change in the last few years and properties move very quickly.
:47:37. > :47:42.There is something very lean mers about you. A woman who was buying a
:47:43. > :47:52.house maybe take a photograph with her kids. Just so she could tell
:47:53. > :47:57.everyone her kids have met Olly Murs. I didn't even get the
:47:58. > :48:04.instruction. Tell every body what we are looking at here? That's me, as
:48:05. > :48:13.you can see! Driving a three wheeler, with no power steering.
:48:14. > :48:18.George has a number of classic cars, and we thought, try and get this
:48:19. > :48:21.property in our area, get a bit of attention, we displayed it in the
:48:22. > :48:27.window and put it in the car park of the local supermarket. No one is
:48:28. > :48:34.going to claim you're taking too much commission! That's true,
:48:35. > :48:42.because we're not. Has it worked? No. Lewis, we see you in the series,
:48:43. > :48:47.arranging what they call an open day. This is creating a buzz around
:48:48. > :48:52.a certain house, it gets everybody into a massive frenzy, everybody is
:48:53. > :48:59.fighting, what advice would you have two people who are in the position,
:49:00. > :49:05.potential buyers on an open day? Don't panic buy. Pay what you think
:49:06. > :49:09.it's worth, don't get caught up, if you liked the property, offer but
:49:10. > :49:18.open houses, they work the same as any other house. There is lots of
:49:19. > :49:22.competition. Try not to overpay. How do you think the high-flying
:49:23. > :49:28.property types in London would succeed up North? I think they would
:49:29. > :49:36.be able to buy the whole of Spennymoor stop do you have to
:49:37. > :49:43.employ some tricks to help shift a property? Yes, we're not in a very
:49:44. > :49:47.cash rich area, there is a lot of unemployment and people on low
:49:48. > :49:50.salaries. When you get a lot of people looking for a house, and all
:49:51. > :49:59.they can afford is maybe 40 or 50 grand, sometimes you think, it's sad
:50:00. > :50:02.but... It's nice to try and find them something, because you know
:50:03. > :50:07.that when you do, it's their first home and they are really grateful.
:50:08. > :50:21.We have our little game, do you want to play? Yes! Can you switch seats?
:50:22. > :50:29.So we have too-macro teams and an answer each, if you please. This is
:50:30. > :50:32.the first question. Which of these three cities has the highest average
:50:33. > :50:36.cost of residential property per square foot? Bournemouth, Swansea or
:50:37. > :50:51.Aberdeen? We will have to hurry you for an
:50:52. > :50:53.answer. Bournemouth. Bournemouth. Well, the answer is... It's
:50:54. > :51:09.Aberdeen! You want a car question? Kind of
:51:10. > :51:12.tenuous, but what is the highest advertised asking price, and
:51:13. > :51:18.underground car parking space in a 24 hour residential building or this
:51:19. > :51:24.rather grander six bedroom house in Cumbria? It boasts a Seaview and an
:51:25. > :51:34.open plan ground floor. We will have too pushy. Car park. It is in fact
:51:35. > :51:44.the said bedroom and house, by five grand! -- six bedroomed house. This
:51:45. > :51:49.is a ridiculous game. It is difficult, being an estate agent!
:51:50. > :51:53.Which profession do One Show viewers think is the most trustworthy?
:51:54. > :52:02.Bankers, politicians or estate agent? Trustworthy. This is
:52:03. > :52:08.potentially quite awkward. Must be estate agents, absolutely. I
:52:09. > :52:15.wouldn't say any of them, but anyway! Most people said none of
:52:16. > :52:27.them but what are you going to give us as an answer? If you had to?
:52:28. > :52:37.Let's have a look. There you are! Thank you very much. You can see the
:52:38. > :52:46.first episode of Under Offer Estate Agents on the Job... We won't be
:52:47. > :52:50.home in time! It's time to find out whether Kerri-Anne Payne's attempt
:52:51. > :52:53.to get a whole school swimming by building them a pool in their
:52:54. > :52:59.playground will be a success or an epic fail. Since the beginning of
:53:00. > :53:02.the year I have been following the progress of this primary School.
:53:03. > :53:07.Three months ago a temporary pool was built in their playground. Their
:53:08. > :53:13.mission was to teach all of their pupils to swim in one term. When I
:53:14. > :53:23.first went into the pool, I was frightened, but now I swim as
:53:24. > :53:28.graceful as a swan! Here we are, in 11 weeks later, the final stage of
:53:29. > :53:33.that journey. All 642 children are about to get the chance to swim in
:53:34. > :53:43.the most famous pool in England. Are you excited or nervous? A little bit
:53:44. > :53:50.nervous. Why? Because I'm afraid I'm going to drown. Make a splash is
:53:51. > :53:53.hoping to stop the alarming downward spiral in the amount of children who
:53:54. > :54:01.leave school unable to swim. This gala is a chance to show the pupils
:54:02. > :54:05.how far they have come in 11 weeks. We have a crisis in this country,
:54:06. > :54:09.make no bones about it, hundreds of thousands of kids leaving school
:54:10. > :54:14.unable to swim. So we thought, let's give them an environment in which
:54:15. > :54:20.they can learn. All that effort, all those weeks of lessons, it has paid
:54:21. > :54:25.off. The kids are swimming in the Olympic pool. And they are doing it
:54:26. > :54:33.all on their own. When you touch it at the end of the line, it's like, I
:54:34. > :54:36.can't believe I did that! Not the best day of my life, that is when I
:54:37. > :54:43.was born, this is the second best day. Once the older kids had
:54:44. > :54:48.finished, it was the turn of the younger ones. I don't think anybody
:54:49. > :54:52.expected the youngsters to swim 25 metres without any help. With this
:54:53. > :54:56.project, the scale of the achievement is relative to each
:54:57. > :54:58.child so for someone like Nathan, who was so scared in 11 weeks ago,
:54:59. > :55:26.to even be here, that is success. Well done, Nathan! How was it? I
:55:27. > :55:34.felt like I was a champion. You are a champion. How was it in this pool?
:55:35. > :55:40.It felt a bit cold but I didn't give up. It is now the turn of grace.
:55:41. > :55:44.They were at a similar place when they first learnt how to swim. I
:55:45. > :55:53.think it might be something similar, but I'm amazed she is here. If she
:55:54. > :56:03.gets her face when will be so proud of her. That's it, Grace! Keep
:56:04. > :56:12.going! That it! Blowing bubbles! Go on, Grace, you can do it! Well done,
:56:13. > :56:19.Grace! You have such a big smile on your face, did you enjoy it? What
:56:20. > :56:30.was the best bit? Trying hard as I can. Do you think they will carry on
:56:31. > :56:33.swimming? Yes. Many of the children are infused and want to carry on.
:56:34. > :56:42.One of them said to me, they want to be proper swimmers. Temporary
:56:43. > :56:46.swimming pools have their place, but parents need to get more involved,
:56:47. > :56:49.it's not just about temporary swimming pools, we need to be
:56:50. > :57:02.conscious of the fact that half the kids in swimming primary schools
:57:03. > :57:06.can't swim. Today's project has been brilliant. This primary school is
:57:07. > :57:18.just one school, drop in the ocean. Now we need to give every child a
:57:19. > :57:23.chance to learn how to swim. If you want your child to learn how to swim
:57:24. > :57:26.- and your school doesn't have a pool - then you can find a host of
:57:27. > :57:28.information on the BBC's Get Inspired website - that's
:57:29. > :57:36.bbc.co.uk/GetInspired." Earlier we asked for photos of your epic fails.
:57:37. > :57:50.This is the first attempt at microwave porridge! And this attempt
:57:51. > :57:54.at Mountain biking! OK, it's time. We will see whether our free styling
:57:55. > :58:01.footballers Billy and Jeremy can do something remarkable. A quick
:58:02. > :58:08.explanation. What's going to be happening? We are the F2
:58:09. > :58:14.freestylers. This move is in F2 freestylers trademark. Only will
:58:15. > :58:18.lift me on his back, I will do juggles, the plan is, you had to
:58:19. > :58:30.smash the ball into the back of the net! How are you feeling? Absolutely
:58:31. > :58:31.confident. Look at this but where she is wearing! Goldman stilettos.
:58:32. > :58:38.Here we go. Three, two, one. She needs to finish
:58:39. > :58:53.it! Yes! What better way to finish the
:58:54. > :59:01.programme! That's all we have time for tonight. A big thanks to our
:59:02. > :59:15.guests. We will see you tomorrow night. Alan Titchmarsh is here.
