Tonight, we will be celebrating success with the estate agent who | :00:07. | :00:14. | |
went the extra mile to shift a house that could not be sold and the | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
school that built a swimming pool because its children could not swim. | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
And we will laugh in the face of failure with the Top Gear star whose | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
new show is about the science of stupidity. There will be football | :00:28. | :00:31. | |
tricks from these boys. They could go either way. | :00:32. | :00:45. | |
Hello, welcome to the One Show. Tonight we welcome back to favourite | :00:46. | :00:58. | |
guests who recognise that success is not final, failure is not fatal, and | :00:59. | :01:10. | |
it is the courage to continue the accounts. It is nice and | :01:11. | :01:20. | |
comfortable. We are all right. Celia has had a massively successful | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
career. Is there a failure that haunts you? When I was seven I | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
entered a piano competition. I thought that I knew the piece so | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
well, I marched up onto the stage with no music and sat there. I had | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
no idea. It was embarrassing. The time went on and I sat by the piano | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
pinching myself because I thought I was dreaming. My teacher came up | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
with the music. I put my hands there. It might as well have been | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Arabic. Nothing happened. I had to go off the stage. I think that is | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
why I became an actress. It was so embarrassing. I was seven and I have | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
never got over it. The science of stupid, were you delighted or | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
slightly offended when they wanted you to present it? I am the logical | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
choice. I could think of somebody else. It chimes so well. They came | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
to me first. I said I will do it. Good news as far as Top Gear is | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
concerned. In North Korea, Kim Jung-un, the leader, wants to put it | :02:37. | :02:44. | |
out in North Korea. I think it is Teletubbies, as well. There are two | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
of those in our show, as well! That is international. We are celebrating | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
success and laughing in the face of failure. We want photographs of your | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
own epic fails. Such as a bad hair day, a fashion faux pas, send them | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
to the usual address and we will look at them later. A report by the | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
Public Affairs Select Committee was published today looking at the | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
manipulation of police crime statistics. | :03:21. | :03:27. | |
Part of the report plays to the -- praised the honesty of an officer | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
who spoke out against this. Lucy went to meet the man to find out | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
whether he had any regrets on blowing the whistle. | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
This is James Patrick, a serving police officer until two weeks ago. | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
In 2012 he went public with concerns he had about the way crime was | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
recorded. As many as 300 burglaries would disappear in a two-week | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
period. There had been management intervention and the burglaries | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
effectively disappeared. Becoming a whistle-blower is a big decision. | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
You might see it as standing up for principles, but other people might | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
call you a traitor. James worked in a special unit, processing data, | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
when he discovered inconsistencies in how some crimes were reported and | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
recorded. He told a Parliamentary committee it was a deliberate | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
attempt to manipulate statistics. Robberies were being reported. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
Within a day, they would be downgraded to theft, or theft | :04:35. | :04:40. | |
snatchers. It was intentional because it looked bad on the book | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
not being given the correct investigations. What was the worst | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
example you came across? One that sticks in my mind was a young girl | :04:52. | :04:56. | |
who was a victim of a sexual offence. Effectively, she had | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
pressure put on her to withdraw the allegation. It is not right. If a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
victim tells you this has happened to me, a crime is a crime. After | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
trying to raise concerns internally, James felt he had no choice but to | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
go public, despite the risk of facing disciplinary action. How did | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
your colleagues respond? I got the reaction I expected with 50% | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
respecting what I did and the other 50%, saying you are having a go at | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
the Metropolitan Police. People are scared of the consequences of | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
speaking out. James has not worked in over a year and although he has | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
been paid, the uncertainty of what would happen to him has been a | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
strain for his family. I have seen the impact on Laura, she does not | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
sleep and worries at the level I do, worrying about the future. My | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
family has been put in this situation. Is it something you | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
cannot get away from, it is always on your mind? It is always on my | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
mind. Not so much when I have the children around because I focus on | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
them. How would you describe the last 12 months? It is like a tornado | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
that hits you and destroys everything in five seconds. But the | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
five seconds became six months, ten months, 18 months. Do you ever | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
resent James for being a whistle-blower? I admire him. I do | :06:37. | :06:44. | |
not blame him. Because it put us in a situation we are in now. | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Emotionally, I do not think it was worth it because we are going | :06:50. | :06:57. | |
through hell and this is not over. James has since been disciplined for | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
misconduct and resigned because he felt he had no choice. With no close | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
family nearby, the support of friends is invaluable to the couple. | :07:08. | :07:16. | |
It is not an isolated story. It is not like... You hear frequently... | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
It is not a surprise that whistle-blowers are badly treated. | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
It is shameful. These are people looking out for the public interest. | :07:28. | :07:34. | |
They are brave and courageous. I really admire you for what you have | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
done. James is now taking the Metropolitan | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
Police to an employment tribunal but the costs are high and so he is | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
representing himself. I am writing a letter before the tribunal, a | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
notice, I am having to learn the law on-the-fly. This is quite a lot of | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
work to do. It takes hours. James gave evidence to the public | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
administration select committee. Two months later the UK Statistics | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
Authority withdrew its endorsement of police crime statistics because | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
it had lost trust in them. Apart from the employment tribunal, James | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
must now decide what to do with his life. Where does it end? Can you see | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
a future when it is not hanging over you? The psychological impact is so | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
heavy. I have had moments when I thought, you are in over your head, | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
but I have not regretted doing it and I never will. | :08:38. | :08:46. | |
Lucy is with us now. There is a new Parliamentary report out today based | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
on James' evidence. The report by the select committee | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
puts the boot into the police and the way they rely on crime | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
statistics and record them. It does not pull any punches. For example, a | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
delay on Scott -- by Scotland Yard over addressing rape figures. The | :09:09. | :09:19. | |
report describes the incident of a damning indictment of inertia and a | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
lack of leadership. The committee chair has referred to what he calls | :09:24. | :09:31. | |
a target junkie culture. The dependency on the targets to solve | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
crime. The report says it is inappropriate to use those targets. | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
He criticised the Commissioner and the report does not pull any punches | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
from the top brass. The attitude and behaviour that led to the | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
misreporting of crime had become ingrained, including in senior | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
leadership, so incredibly critical, apart from James Patrick. They | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
commend his courage for speaking out and for fulfilling his duties to the | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
highest standard of public service to spy pressure not to. The MPs said | :10:07. | :10:12. | |
they had doubts that the Metropolitan Police have treated | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
James Patrick fairly or with respect and care. What did the police say? | :10:16. | :10:23. | |
On crime statistics they said recording is complicated and it is | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
inevitable they will not always get it right. They are committed to | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
accurate recording of figures and on looking at allegations. They say | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
they have launched an investigation into crime recording. It was an | :10:36. | :10:42. | |
emotional film. You have to admire James the bravery but you can see | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
the impact it had on him and his wife. What is the future for the | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
couple? The misconduct findings from the | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
Metropolitan Police focused on the fact he had published a blog and | :10:56. | :11:04. | |
e-book. Have they mention James, the Metropolitan Police? | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
They have. They said he was issued with a final written warning | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
following the misconduct hearing and they accepted his resignation. In | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
terms of his future, he is taking the Metropolitan Police to the | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
tribunal and seeking damages. The first hearing was yesterday. He is | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
representing himself and so he will be very much wrapped up in this case | :11:33. | :11:40. | |
for the immediate future. Lucy, thanks. As the Easter holiday | :11:41. | :11:50. | |
gets under way, Lord Coe said young people today are the most | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
interactive generation ever. One way of getting children away from | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
screens is to take them swimming. These days many children lose out on | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
the chance to learn. It has led some schools taking extraordinary steps | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
to reverse the trend. This is an Olympic medal winning Keri-Anne | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
Payne with the report. When I grew up I wanted to swim and | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
I was lucky. My dream took me around the world and brought the Olympic | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
and world medals. Swimming changed my life. Children today do not seem | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
to have the same opportunity. What worries me figures released in 2013. | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
Despite the fact the National Curriculum says that all children | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
should be able to swim 25 metres by the time they leave primary school, | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
only a fraction can. In Hackney, that number is 23%. I have come to | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
this primary school to come and find out what is going on. Have you | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
learned how to swim? My younger one is frightened of the water. My | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
daughter used to but not any more. She can do the dog paddling. There | :13:00. | :13:09. | |
are under 650 children here and the majority are not confident swimmers. | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
When I went into the swimming pool I was frightened. The first time I | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
pretty much sank into the water. One main problem particularly in cities | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
is the lack of infrastructure. In Hackney there are 52 other schools | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
and 13 secondary schools. In the area, there are only four swimming | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
pools. Schools try, but logistics are a nightmare. You have to be able | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
to get there as well. To go for the swimming lesson you have to leave | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
the school and get to the swimming pool and back again, which can take | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
a morning of your jam-packed timetable. If they cannot get to the | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
swimming pool, why not take it to the kids? A project called make a | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
Splash has built 24 temporary swimming pools in schools around | :14:01. | :14:09. | |
London. This is portable. It has taught thousands of children how to | :14:10. | :14:14. | |
swim. This primary School have it for one term only and have set | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
themselves the challenge to teach pupils to swim in that time. Here is | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
excited to go swimming? This class with a first in and I could tell | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
they were nervous, especially these two, with whom I spent time. We will | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
just practice with noses on top of the water. Like this. That is it, | :14:39. | :14:47. | |
well done. That is amazing. That is what you need to do. Why can you not | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
do it, this is the first time? Seeing how hard it was the grace and | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
Nathan being in the water underlined the huge challenge it will be, | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
especially when you add this into the mix. The Olympics winning pool. | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
In 11 weeks the primary school will go there for a special gala, where | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
the children will attempt to swim 25 metres. | :15:15. | :15:22. | |
Make a splash, try not to bash. Splash, splash, splash. Six weeks | :15:23. | :15:34. | |
have gone by and I'm back to school to see how well the kids are getting | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
on. Most of them have started to complete the 25 metres, but some of | :15:43. | :15:46. | |
them, they don't achieve the 25 metres because some children, they | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
have never been in a swimming pool before. I especially want to catch | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
up with grace and Nathan who were so nervous. Howdy think it's going? I | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
think it's going really well. Have you been practising? Yes. I want to | :16:05. | :16:13. | |
hurry up and get into the water. I just look at the difference that a | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
few weeks can make. The nerves have gone, they are relaxed, it's so | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
lovely to see. That's it. So six weeks ago, I was here with this | :16:27. | :16:33. | |
class, the first class to get in, to see the improvement in six weeks is | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
so great to see. We are four weeks away from the gala, I think they | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
will all be able to swim with the five metres but will they be able to | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
do it unaided? Later in the show we'll be at the | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
Olympic Aquatic Centre to see if those 642 pupils achieve their goal. | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
And from the "school that couldn't swim" to our team of the week who | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
spend their lives in the pool. Please explain! Basically, believe | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
it or not, we are playing underwater rugby. Britain's first and only | :17:10. | :17:18. | |
underwater rugby players! It's extraordinary. I know you are | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
registered with ruptured. How do you play it? It's played with two teams | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
of swimmers. In four 25 metre deep pools, with a basket, with a ball | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
full of soap and water, and the idea is to put it in the basket at the | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
other end. Have you made this up in the pub? As all right because, we do | :17:46. | :17:54. | |
like to go to the pub. But this is a game that started in 60s in Germany, | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
we have: B and, we have finished, we have Kiwis. -- we have Colombians, | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
we have ends. We have Slovakians. If you are the only team, who do you | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
play against? With British sub Aqua's help, we set up, last year, | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
we are training the sunken petitions, we are going to a | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
competition in Florence. In August, we're having a competition at the | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
world alternative games down in Wales. It's quite heavy! The ball is | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
negatively buoyant, it's not allowed to break the surface. You have to | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
hold your breath for an extraordinarily long amount of time, | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
don't you? Yes, it is quite difficult, but as you play the | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
sport, you can time that a bit better. You are waiting for the | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
limit would we believe you! Good luck in Florence, team of the week! | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
Now Richard got some serious stick from his Top Gear colleagues after | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
splashing out on top-of-the-range sports car which was recently | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
recalled after two of the same cars suddenly burst in to flames. This is | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
the thing, though. But they couldn't really call him stupid because he | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
had no idea that would happen, it was just unlucky. He is now, look. | :19:34. | :19:44. | |
It was unexpected. Why did you have to mention that? Because it links | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
nicely into this. But the same can't really be said for some of the | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
people who star in Richard's new show. I like what you have done but | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
not how you have done it! The classic double backflip. Back | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
flipping is clearly best left to train the gymnasts. He is the | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
science behind their success. There are two parts to the perfect | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
backflip. Part one, from a solid base, he jumped straight up coming | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
using legs and arms for maximum height. Part two, the rotation bit. | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
He takes his knees into his chest to accelerate the spin. It is the law | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
of conservation of angular momentum. When you halve your length, you | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
quadruple your spin speed. So you are now looking at the science | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
behind all these bonkers clips that we see. It's a side show. It is a | :20:41. | :20:48. | |
science show, it's series, its educational! On the one hand, you | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
have people falling flat on their faces but on the other, it's a | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
voyage of scientific discovery, it has integrity, sincerity, depth. And | :21:01. | :21:06. | |
it prevents people making the same mistakes! That is a serious point. | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
Throughout the series, there are... ! When you noticed my motion is | :21:13. | :21:22. | |
coming up, it's painful! The point is commented about prevention. I was | :21:23. | :21:27. | |
nervous about that. Essentially, the show is made up of you watch people | :21:28. | :21:31. | |
doing stupid things, and then it goes horribly wrong and I pop up and | :21:32. | :21:38. | |
explain it. You see exactly what has gone wrong. So it's very credible, | :21:39. | :21:46. | |
but I felt exactly that, what if people see it and do it, I would | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
feel bad. You know what, the last thing you will want to do is do any | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
of these things. It is awful, because there is something in all of | :21:57. | :21:59. | |
us that laughs when people hurt themselves. Do you like these shows, | :22:00. | :22:08. | |
Celia? I can't believe you laugh! I get cross when someone laughs. But I | :22:09. | :22:18. | |
do. It's human. We are glad it's not us. It's relief, isn't it? And it's | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
awkward. I am finding it awkward! If somebody else falls over, it's an | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
explosion of energy because it's not us, basically. Do you say whether | :22:31. | :22:37. | |
people hurt themselves? Some of them do, a bit. Not massively! You look | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
at weightlifters... It is scientifically, rigourously | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
explained. National Geographic or very strict and everything has to be | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
checked. An insider told us there is an international market where they | :22:58. | :23:00. | |
buy these funny clips. And we wondered how much we would get for | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
this one. That's me! You should see the mess. | :23:03. | :23:31. | |
I was going to show you how to do a backflip, but I can't because of | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
this hip. I can't move from this position, seriously. In your mind, | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
it was going to work. That moment when you thought, it's going to look | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
like this, that's the bit I love. It's the build-up! There it is. We | :23:50. | :23:58. | |
have some more. You at home have been bravely sending in your own | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
bails for us to show. Here's Ricky English from Hornchurch in Essex. | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
Classic. Balance and momentum there. We have got another one here. This | :24:15. | :24:24. | |
is a ten-year-old. This was sent in by her mum, Samantha. That's a | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
classic. We love our view is! Hope she is OK. I wonder if she has gone | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
ice-skating since? You can see Science of Stupid on the National | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
Geographic channel, tonight at 10pm. Now will Celia and Richard fail or | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
succeed in the little artistic challenge we're about to set them. | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
You mentioned my embarrassing car, what are you going to do now? If you | :25:01. | :25:06. | |
could make your way into our art area. As you can see, ready and | :25:07. | :25:18. | |
posed is our life shoring model. During our next film... Richard has | :25:19. | :25:25. | |
plenty of experience! It's just a quick sketch! Just get on with it! | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
Here's a film about how working as a life model can boost your | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
confidence. Are you both ready? I have started! | :25:40. | :25:46. | |
Modelling is often thought to be a young girl 's game but does greying | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
hair, a few wrinkles and the inescapable effect of gravity really | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
spell the end of a woman's beauty? Angela, Susanna and Susie have all | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
had issues with confidence in the past but have found a unique way of | :26:01. | :26:05. | |
empowering themselves. When these women entered the ring, trust me, | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
everybody is going to be paying attention. -- enter the room. I hear | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
you have an interesting job. Indeed I have. I am an actor and life | :26:18. | :26:27. | |
model. Which means? I take my clothes off for my work! The | :26:28. | :26:37. | |
opportunity fell into my lap after reading an article, I was just | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
inspired and I thought, I am going to go for it. I haven't looked back | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
since. How long have you been modelling? About three weeks! This | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
is actually my second job. When you tell people you take your clothes | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
off for your work, how do they react? I didn't tell them! I did | :26:58. | :27:04. | |
this for me. It makes me feel alive and happy and it makes me feel like | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
I'm making a valuable contribution to society. What makes you decide it | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
is for you? After looking after small children and not feeling | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
employ a book I felt my life had reached a standstill, I find it | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
difficult to move forward. Was there a point when you felt low | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
self-esteem in your life? Definitely. Before my daughter was | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
born and sometime afterwards, my own self esteem was on the back burner. | :27:35. | :27:42. | |
I think that was debilitating. I felt old and stressed, I lost part | :27:43. | :27:49. | |
of the real me. It was like being trapped in this body that I didn't | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
recognise as being mine. Because in my head, I'm still 18. So I had to | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
break out, basically, and reinvent myself, find myself again. But | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
Angela's decision to bare all came as a surprise to husband David. I | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
was concerned, I probably didn't want her to do it. I suppose it's | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
about being seen by other people, I guess. Being seen naked. Because | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
obviously, she had only been naked in front of you for 42 years. As far | :28:24. | :28:31. | |
as I am aware! But there is a lot of pride in it now, and I really do | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
like the artistic side of it. What changes have you seen in her? She is | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
much more confident and a lot happier. And if she is happier... | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
Then you are happy! Do you think that older women can feel beautiful? | :28:49. | :28:54. | |
I definitely feel they can, but that doesn't come from cosmetic surgery | :28:55. | :28:59. | |
or airbrushing magazines, it has to come from self-confident and feeling | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
happy within yourself and at peace. I am still early days with this but | :29:06. | :29:08. | |
it feels good to do this. It definitely is empowering. It is | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
about doing anything you want to do, try and go for it, not necessarily | :29:15. | :29:19. | |
what I am doing, but do it, if you want to reinvent yourself, give it a | :29:20. | :29:27. | |
go! Thanks to everyone who took part in | :29:28. | :29:36. | |
the film and to our life model Suzy! Richard is very modest and he is | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
brilliant at sketching. You are making it worse! Are you ready to | :29:41. | :29:49. | |
show us? No! You have to, because we are alive. Therefore | :29:50. | :29:57. | |
You pleased with that? I do. Lots of potential. Celia, you have had | :29:58. | :30:09. | |
experience in Calendar Girls are doing this. It is daring. I applaud | :30:10. | :30:17. | |
the girls who have done it in a room by themselves. We had each other, | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
and we also had Helen Mirren, she was helping us. Moral support. You | :30:24. | :30:31. | |
had champagne and twiglets afterwards. Of course. On the day, | :30:32. | :30:38. | |
you have to get on with it. You could not say I do not want to do | :30:39. | :30:43. | |
this bit. You had to do it because it was the whole point of the film. | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
In this scene from your new film, The Love Punch, it looks like you | :30:50. | :30:53. | |
are getting ready to join the underwater rugby players. Do you | :30:54. | :31:03. | |
swim? How about climbing? I was in the Australian Parachute Regiment. | :31:04. | :31:32. | |
7.28. Let's do this. Oh, yes. This will be exciting. It is a great | :31:33. | :31:42. | |
film. Very cosy, quite farcical, fantastic. I do not understand why | :31:43. | :31:51. | |
it is called The Love Punch. It is about Pierce Brosnan, who runs his | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
firm, he hits the day of retirement. He has encouraged | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
workers to take out pensions, he gets to the firm and realises the | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
money has gone, the pension has gone, taken by the new owner. | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
Instead of just lying back, he thinks I am not going to have that | :32:11. | :32:18. | |
lying down, I will go after this man who's spent all of the pension on a | :32:19. | :32:25. | |
revolting, huge diamond ring for his girlfriend. He thinks I will get it | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
back. We set out on this caper. Where do you come into it? I am one | :32:33. | :32:39. | |
of the best friends of the glamorous couple, Emma Thompson and Pierce | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
Brosnan. Timothy Spall and I'd, you saw us in the back, making faces. I | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
could not work the flippers. Work them? I noticed, you were walking | :32:52. | :32:59. | |
backwards. When you see me going into the sea, I fall into quickly, | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
but I got a laugh, because I did it wrong. I suppose it is about the | :33:04. | :33:10. | |
relationship between you and your husband and Emma Thompson and Pierce | :33:11. | :33:16. | |
Brosnan. They have been married, divorced and separated, but I am a | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
great romantic and I want to get them back together. Will they? In | :33:21. | :33:26. | |
January, you were in India, to make the 2nd... Best exotic marigold H. | :33:27. | :33:36. | |
Will the second live up to the first? -- Best Exotic Marigold | :33:37. | :33:46. | |
Hotel. The writer wants to call it the second Best Exotic Marigold | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
Hotel, but the Americans are not keen about that. They are the money. | :33:51. | :33:57. | |
But it has been fantastic to be back there. Two years later. Wonderful. | :33:58. | :34:07. | |
The 18th of April, The Love Punch is out. Talking of marigolds, I don't | :34:08. | :34:17. | |
know how many featured in the entries to this year's One Show | :34:18. | :34:20. | |
garden design competition, but now that entry has closed, Christine and | :34:21. | :34:24. | |
our other judges have the difficult task of selecting the best three. | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
Designing a garden is not an easy task but it did not deter you. You | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
sent in entries by the sackful. Look at this. Today, I need to pick three | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
finalists with the help of fellow judges, Adam frost, garden designer, | :34:40. | :34:46. | |
and Dave Green, who runs the Hampton Court Flower Show, where the winning | :34:47. | :34:52. | |
design will be installed. It was a competition to design a garden to | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
celebrate your community. We had over 100 entries from all over the | :34:57. | :35:03. | |
UK. The quality is fantastic. They are as good as some of the gardens | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
from professionals. It will be a challenge to come up with a short | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
list. The winning design must be a show stopper. There is a sense of | :35:12. | :35:18. | |
theatre. We need something to turn heads and make visitors stop and | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
look. That will be the key to the winner. How we will agree, it will | :35:23. | :35:30. | |
be interesting. I would like the -- I like this design that tells the | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
story of chemical contamination in Wakefield. Adam thought it had too | :35:36. | :35:42. | |
much going on. 20 ideas, two or three strong ideas in one space, it | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
ends up making a great garden. This garden from Stockport, we felt the | :35:49. | :36:00. | |
ambitious design would go over the ?45,000 budget and two-week built | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
period. A half finished showed garden is the worst thing in the | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
world. After hours of debate, we picked the 12 strongest entries. The | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
next stage is to choose three finalists. We might not speak to | :36:18. | :36:20. | |
each other after this. We have three for the final short list and I think | :36:21. | :36:27. | |
sparks will fly. If that went to Hampton Court, very few people would | :36:28. | :36:34. | |
say Bath, or, Roman. People would get it. This is what is wrong with | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
design. Every design seems to divide us. To me, you instantly can see | :36:42. | :36:49. | |
what it is about. You are right. There is a lot of copper and | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
waterfalls and a ruined mine. I get the story, I am not convinced. That | :36:55. | :37:02. | |
scares me. I like this, therefore, it is staying, whether you to like | :37:03. | :37:07. | |
it or not! Eventually, we have a verdict. Time to give the finalists | :37:08. | :37:17. | |
the good news. That is very excited Alexander Noble, the Roman Bath | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
inspired garden even won over in the end. Joining her will be Helen Reid | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
and Holly Crosby with designs inspired by silk weavers of | :37:28. | :37:34. | |
Spitalfields in London. And John Kane and his design. Now the amateur | :37:35. | :37:43. | |
gardeners will pitch their design to us face-to-face. This weekend, we | :37:44. | :37:52. | |
will decide which one of them will have their gardens brought to life | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
at Hampton Court. And a big thank you to everybody who | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
entered. In the next couple of weeks, the three finalists will be | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
in the studio as we announce who will see their design at Hampton | :38:08. | :38:12. | |
Court Flower Show. And the best of luck to the finalists. In a moment | :38:13. | :38:18. | |
we will chat to these boys, who are known as F2, two of the best | :38:19. | :38:24. | |
freestyle foot wall is in the world. Before that, we will see how they | :38:25. | :38:27. | |
kept the crowds entertained this afternoon. | :38:28. | :39:05. | |
Oh, yes! F2. Billy Wingrove and Jeremy Lynch. Welcome. How did this | :39:06. | :39:23. | |
start? It was a hobby from a child, practising in spare time, and it | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
involved into this job will stop two years ago we decided to start the | :39:28. | :39:30. | |
double act and since then we have gone from strength to strength, | :39:31. | :39:36. | |
making videos and a new TV show at London live. And you are massive. | :39:37. | :39:43. | |
You are professionals, going around the world. How good does it feel | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
when it goes in after kicking it from the top? It is a great feeling. | :39:48. | :39:54. | |
You will spend hours trying to get a shot and sometimes it happens first | :39:55. | :39:59. | |
time. There is a level you can go to, how do you come up with new | :40:00. | :40:06. | |
tricks? He has a creative mind. We both have. Sometimes we will have a | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
brainstorming session to think of fresh things. You use cars and all | :40:12. | :40:19. | |
sorts. With freestyle, it is 90% practice, but it is the 10% of | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
creativity that matters and sets you apart. With this show, it emphasises | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
asked doing challenges. We have been lucky enough, things we have thought | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
of which we did not have the facilities to do before, giving it | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
to the production team, they have made it happen. Do you play | :40:39. | :40:45. | |
football? We used to more, it is difficult now, because if we get | :40:46. | :40:52. | |
injured, no more F2. We go on the football pitch and we are targets, | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
we do one skill and the main thing is, chop them. It is all about world | :40:58. | :41:04. | |
records these days. Later, you are going to have a go. Wearing | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
stilettos. That is a record in itself. You will have to play in | :41:11. | :41:18. | |
high heels from now on. I hope I do not mess it up. Viewers in London | :41:19. | :41:22. | |
can see F2 on the New London channel. And now Sarah has a story | :41:23. | :41:29. | |
about the opening of the major sports event this summer that is | :41:30. | :41:32. | |
making some Glasgow residents see red. | :41:33. | :41:40. | |
Iconic, aspirational, sublime. It is how the eight blocks that once made | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
up the Red Road flats were once described. The housing scheme holds | :41:45. | :41:51. | |
a firm place in city Heritage and the thousands of people it was a | :41:52. | :41:58. | |
place they called home. For many, flats cast a shadow of neglect over | :41:59. | :42:06. | |
the city and many have been Derek -- derelict for years. They will be | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
demolished as part of the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
in front of a TV audience. At the event has sparked a fierce debate. | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
Since the announcement there has been a public outcry, with 11,000 | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
people signing a petition opposing the demolition. Many called it ill | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
timed, callous and insensitive. What do the people of Glasgow think of | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
the idea? I thought it was unusual. I do not see why an event like that | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
is appropriate for the opening ceremony. I thought it was a great | :42:46. | :42:52. | |
message. The common wealth games is a wonderful thing to be happening in | :42:53. | :42:57. | |
Glasgow but to decide to blow up something that has so much history, | :42:58. | :43:01. | |
to tie in with the common wealth games, when they could have had | :43:02. | :43:05. | |
fireworks, maybe a parade in the city centre, it is thoughtless. It | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
is an interesting idea and different. The idea was conceived by | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
the creative minds behind Glasgow 2014. Mark O'Neal thinks that people | :43:16. | :43:23. | |
should embrace the idea. Is this in bad taste? Is it right to do it in | :43:24. | :43:31. | |
front of a worldwide audience? A criticism of big events is that they | :43:32. | :43:36. | |
gloss over social problems. I think the director is saying that Glasgow | :43:37. | :43:43. | |
is not glossing over anything. That we have learned from that. If you | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
want to say Glasgow is a city that is fighting and looking for a | :43:51. | :43:52. | |
future, it is giving the right message. When the demolition takes | :43:53. | :44:01. | |
place, an exclusion zone will see hundreds of people evacuated from | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
the surrounding area. One of the blocks will be kept, to house | :44:07. | :44:14. | |
hundreds of asylum seekers. The woman who set up the petition is | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
opposed to the idea. I cannot imagine the organisers of the | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
ceremony plan to diss unite the country at the opening ceremony. I | :44:25. | :44:30. | |
would have hoped for a celebration that united people. I think the | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
effort at the London Olympics one people over. There was negativity, | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
but not about him celebrating the NHS by blowing up a hospital. I do | :44:42. | :44:45. | |
not think that would have been considered appropriate. Organisers | :44:46. | :44:53. | |
must have known the decision was going to be controversial. Let's | :44:54. | :44:57. | |
hope that when the dust settles, Glasgow's role in the common wealth | :44:58. | :45:02. | |
games will be truly memorable. -- Commonwealth Games. The organisers | :45:03. | :45:11. | |
have agreed to meet protesters next week to discuss the planned | :45:12. | :45:16. | |
demolition. If they were not due to be knocked down, they would be a | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
hard sell for the two people we are about to meet, the stars of the | :45:21. | :45:24. | |
documentary series about our obsession with property. whatever | :45:25. | :45:32. | |
your opinion of estate agents, the job is to sell. | :45:33. | :45:40. | |
I have been an estate agent for just over two years. Lewis Rossiter is | :45:41. | :45:49. | |
the 30-year-old manager of an estate agents in Exeter. | :45:50. | :45:57. | |
I am the guy that at the wedding, I make a fool of myself. I am sick in | :45:58. | :46:07. | |
the U rhino. This lady is another branch manager of estate agents in | :46:08. | :46:14. | |
the north-east. People's perception of estate agents is that they've | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
tell lies, and they are stereotyped. I don't cheat people, I don't tell | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
lies, I try to be honest, truthful, helpful and try and do a good job | :46:26. | :46:34. | |
for them. That was a clip from Under Offer Estate Agents on the Job, | :46:35. | :46:38. | |
which starts tonight on BBC Two and we're joined now by Lewis Rossiter | :46:39. | :46:41. | |
an estate agent from Exeter in Devon and Lynne Blaney who works as an | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
estate agent in Spennymoor, County Durham welcome both. As Matt said, | :46:45. | :46:50. | |
you work in different parts of the country, where the property markets | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
can be different. Lynne, what is it like in your area? Lots of free | :46:55. | :47:04. | |
possessions. Lots of cheap houses. Let's not forget that we deal with | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
the lower end of the spectrum as well as what we class as the higher | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
end, you can get a lot for your money. You like to make a fool of | :47:13. | :47:21. | |
yourself at weddings? Many times. My parents are proud of me. Yes, Exeter | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
is not as crazy as London but it's very busy, the city has gone through | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
a big change in the last few years and properties move very quickly. | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
There is something very lean mers about you. A woman who was buying a | :47:37. | :47:42. | |
house maybe take a photograph with her kids. Just so she could tell | :47:43. | :47:52. | |
everyone her kids have met Olly Murs. I didn't even get the | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
instruction. Tell every body what we are looking at here? That's me, as | :47:58. | :48:04. | |
you can see! Driving a three wheeler, with no power steering. | :48:05. | :48:13. | |
George has a number of classic cars, and we thought, try and get this | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
property in our area, get a bit of attention, we displayed it in the | :48:19. | :48:21. | |
window and put it in the car park of the local supermarket. No one is | :48:22. | :48:27. | |
going to claim you're taking too much commission! That's true, | :48:28. | :48:34. | |
because we're not. Has it worked? No. Lewis, we see you in the series, | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
arranging what they call an open day. This is creating a buzz around | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
a certain house, it gets everybody into a massive frenzy, everybody is | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
fighting, what advice would you have two people who are in the position, | :48:53. | :48:59. | |
potential buyers on an open day? Don't panic buy. Pay what you think | :49:00. | :49:05. | |
it's worth, don't get caught up, if you liked the property, offer but | :49:06. | :49:09. | |
open houses, they work the same as any other house. There is lots of | :49:10. | :49:18. | |
competition. Try not to overpay. How do you think the high-flying | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
property types in London would succeed up North? I think they would | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
be able to buy the whole of Spennymoor stop do you have to | :49:29. | :49:36. | |
employ some tricks to help shift a property? Yes, we're not in a very | :49:37. | :49:43. | |
cash rich area, there is a lot of unemployment and people on low | :49:44. | :49:47. | |
salaries. When you get a lot of people looking for a house, and all | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
they can afford is maybe 40 or 50 grand, sometimes you think, it's sad | :49:51. | :49:59. | |
but... It's nice to try and find them something, because you know | :50:00. | :50:02. | |
that when you do, it's their first home and they are really grateful. | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
We have our little game, do you want to play? Yes! Can you switch seats? | :50:08. | :50:21. | |
So we have too-macro teams and an answer each, if you please. This is | :50:22. | :50:29. | |
the first question. Which of these three cities has the highest average | :50:30. | :50:32. | |
cost of residential property per square foot? Bournemouth, Swansea or | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
Aberdeen? We will have to hurry you for an | :50:37. | :50:51. | |
answer. Bournemouth. Bournemouth. Well, the answer is... It's | :50:52. | :50:53. | |
Aberdeen! You want a car question? Kind of | :50:54. | :51:09. | |
tenuous, but what is the highest advertised asking price, and | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
underground car parking space in a 24 hour residential building or this | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
rather grander six bedroom house in Cumbria? It boasts a Seaview and an | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
open plan ground floor. We will have too pushy. Car park. It is in fact | :51:25. | :51:34. | |
the said bedroom and house, by five grand! -- six bedroomed house. This | :51:35. | :51:44. | |
is a ridiculous game. It is difficult, being an estate agent! | :51:45. | :51:49. | |
Which profession do One Show viewers think is the most trustworthy? | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
Bankers, politicians or estate agent? Trustworthy. This is | :51:54. | :52:02. | |
potentially quite awkward. Must be estate agents, absolutely. I | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
wouldn't say any of them, but anyway! Most people said none of | :52:09. | :52:15. | |
them but what are you going to give us as an answer? If you had to? | :52:16. | :52:27. | |
Let's have a look. There you are! Thank you very much. You can see the | :52:28. | :52:37. | |
first episode of Under Offer Estate Agents on the Job... We won't be | :52:38. | :52:46. | |
home in time! It's time to find out whether Kerri-Anne Payne's attempt | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
to get a whole school swimming by building them a pool in their | :52:51. | :52:53. | |
playground will be a success or an epic fail. Since the beginning of | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
the year I have been following the progress of this primary School. | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
Three months ago a temporary pool was built in their playground. Their | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
mission was to teach all of their pupils to swim in one term. When I | :53:08. | :53:13. | |
first went into the pool, I was frightened, but now I swim as | :53:14. | :53:23. | |
graceful as a swan! Here we are, in 11 weeks later, the final stage of | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
that journey. All 642 children are about to get the chance to swim in | :53:29. | :53:33. | |
the most famous pool in England. Are you excited or nervous? A little bit | :53:34. | :53:43. | |
nervous. Why? Because I'm afraid I'm going to drown. Make a splash is | :53:44. | :53:50. | |
hoping to stop the alarming downward spiral in the amount of children who | :53:51. | :53:53. | |
leave school unable to swim. This gala is a chance to show the pupils | :53:54. | :54:01. | |
how far they have come in 11 weeks. We have a crisis in this country, | :54:02. | :54:05. | |
make no bones about it, hundreds of thousands of kids leaving school | :54:06. | :54:09. | |
unable to swim. So we thought, let's give them an environment in which | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
they can learn. All that effort, all those weeks of lessons, it has paid | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
off. The kids are swimming in the Olympic pool. And they are doing it | :54:21. | :54:25. | |
all on their own. When you touch it at the end of the line, it's like, I | :54:26. | :54:33. | |
can't believe I did that! Not the best day of my life, that is when I | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
was born, this is the second best day. Once the older kids had | :54:37. | :54:43. | |
finished, it was the turn of the younger ones. I don't think anybody | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
expected the youngsters to swim 25 metres without any help. With this | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
project, the scale of the achievement is relative to each | :54:53. | :54:56. | |
child so for someone like Nathan, who was so scared in 11 weeks ago, | :54:57. | :54:58. | |
to even be here, that is success. Well done, Nathan! How was it? I | :54:59. | :55:26. | |
felt like I was a champion. You are a champion. How was it in this pool? | :55:27. | :55:34. | |
It felt a bit cold but I didn't give up. It is now the turn of grace. | :55:35. | :55:40. | |
They were at a similar place when they first learnt how to swim. I | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
think it might be something similar, but I'm amazed she is here. If she | :55:45. | :55:53. | |
gets her face when will be so proud of her. That's it, Grace! Keep | :55:54. | :56:03. | |
going! That it! Blowing bubbles! Go on, Grace, you can do it! Well done, | :56:04. | :56:12. | |
Grace! You have such a big smile on your face, did you enjoy it? What | :56:13. | :56:19. | |
was the best bit? Trying hard as I can. Do you think they will carry on | :56:20. | :56:30. | |
swimming? Yes. Many of the children are infused and want to carry on. | :56:31. | :56:33. | |
One of them said to me, they want to be proper swimmers. Temporary | :56:34. | :56:42. | |
swimming pools have their place, but parents need to get more involved, | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
it's not just about temporary swimming pools, we need to be | :56:47. | :56:49. | |
conscious of the fact that half the kids in swimming primary schools | :56:50. | :57:02. | |
can't swim. Today's project has been brilliant. This primary school is | :57:03. | :57:06. | |
just one school, drop in the ocean. Now we need to give every child a | :57:07. | :57:18. | |
chance to learn how to swim. If you want your child to learn how to swim | :57:19. | :57:23. | |
- and your school doesn't have a pool - then you can find a host of | :57:24. | :57:26. | |
information on the BBC's Get Inspired website - that's | :57:27. | :57:28. | |
bbc.co.uk/GetInspired." Earlier we asked for photos of your epic fails. | :57:29. | :57:36. | |
This is the first attempt at microwave porridge! And this attempt | :57:37. | :57:50. | |
at Mountain biking! OK, it's time. We will see whether our free styling | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
footballers Billy and Jeremy can do something remarkable. A quick | :57:55. | :58:01. | |
explanation. What's going to be happening? We are the F2 | :58:02. | :58:08. | |
freestylers. This move is in F2 freestylers trademark. Only will | :58:09. | :58:14. | |
lift me on his back, I will do juggles, the plan is, you had to | :58:15. | :58:18. | |
smash the ball into the back of the net! How are you feeling? Absolutely | :58:19. | :58:30. | |
confident. Look at this but where she is wearing! Goldman stilettos. | :58:31. | :58:31. | |
Here we go. Three, two, one. She needs to finish | :58:32. | :58:38. | |
it! Yes! What better way to finish the | :58:39. | :58:53. | |
programme! That's all we have time for tonight. A big thanks to our | :58:54. | :59:01. | |
guests. We will see you tomorrow night. Alan Titchmarsh is here. | :59:02. | :59:15. | |
