:02:33. > :02:36.telling us about the brand new series of Long Lost Family. The Matt

:02:37. > :02:41.has been in bits this afternoon. I have. I have just recovered in time

:02:42. > :02:46.for this evening's With the programme. Boom in the private

:02:47. > :02:49.rental sector, more and more people are finding themselves living in

:02:50. > :02:54.squalor and having to pay for the privilege. Tony Livesey's been to

:02:55. > :02:58.Oxford to join an inspection team who are fighting an increasing

:02:59. > :03:03.problem, dodgy landlords. This is Adrian Chowns he works on Oxford's

:03:04. > :03:11.City Council's front-line in its battle with bad landlords. Across

:03:12. > :03:15.England and Wales, landlords need a license before they can let a

:03:16. > :03:19.property, room by room to five or more people. In Oxford, they have

:03:20. > :03:26.tightened the rules, you need a license if you're letting it to more

:03:27. > :03:31.than two. I'm from the council. I spoke to you the other As well day.

:03:32. > :03:34.As making sure landlords have licenses, it's Adrian's job to make

:03:35. > :03:40.sure they are not exploiting tenants. He and his colleagues

:03:41. > :03:44.inspected 350 properties last year, and prosecuted 12 landlords. There

:03:45. > :03:48.has been a report of a pest infestation at this property, Adrian

:03:49. > :03:53.also suspects the landlord is unlicensed. There are cockroaches

:03:54. > :04:00.everywhere. They have gone under there. Living under the tiles. Look

:04:01. > :04:05.at them running away now. There is a cockroach on the fridge there on the

:04:06. > :04:10.front of the door. Oh, my God! There it is. The tenant has to do a bit of

:04:11. > :04:14.cleaning. Professional cleaners are required here. When you are a

:04:15. > :04:19.landlord you have a basic responsibility. Even though a tenant

:04:20. > :04:22.might be responsible for attracting cockroaches in the first place it's

:04:23. > :04:27.up to land Lords to get rid of them. One of the tenants here, who doesn't

:04:28. > :04:33.want to be identified, shows me the room she rents and shares with her

:04:34. > :04:38.baby. Can I get that for you? Yes. She and her baby aren't just sharing

:04:39. > :04:43.with the cockroaches, there are bed bugs too. Biting your baby? Yeah,

:04:44. > :04:50.they are biting my baby. On his cheek? Yes. That's not good at night

:04:51. > :04:55.if you can't get to Mum says sleep. She lies awake at night removing the

:04:56. > :05:02.bed dugs from her baby and squashing them. You see that splatter. How

:05:03. > :05:10.much rent do you play? ?360 a month. It works out at nearly ?4,500 a

:05:11. > :05:14.year. Adrian finds some of the rooms have more than one paying tenants.

:05:15. > :05:18.That room has been let to one person. We found three people in

:05:19. > :05:22.there. It is a case of us speaking to the landlord or the agent and

:05:23. > :05:27.finding out what the situation is. He has known landlords to rent out

:05:28. > :05:33.every available space they can. Make sure there is nobody living in the

:05:34. > :05:37.shed. How typical is that house? We are finding it on a regular basis.

:05:38. > :05:42.Adrian will contact this landlord to tell them the house is not up to

:05:43. > :05:47.scratch. If you are a landlord cramming people into your property

:05:48. > :05:54.what can you make? If they are operating 20 properties unlawfully,

:05:55. > :05:59.you know, they could be turning over between ?300,000 and half a million

:06:00. > :06:04.worth in rent a year. What are the penalties if you transgress? You can

:06:05. > :06:12.be fined up to ?20,000. We find the courts are a little reluctant to

:06:13. > :06:17.(inaudible). They will issue fines of ?2,000. Our next house has had

:06:18. > :06:25.four visits from the team. He is hoping to see improvements. Bad

:06:26. > :06:32.signs here already. Half the wiring is off-the-wall. Up stairs there is

:06:33. > :06:37.a serious mould problem. Oh, my God! This was like this when we came last

:06:38. > :06:44.time. The landlord was told to clean it off. Obviously, the stench isn't

:06:45. > :06:52.pleasant. That is what people can't... It's just - I wouldn't

:06:53. > :06:58.house my Westies in here. No. Am I over reacting? I don't think so. OK.

:06:59. > :07:01.How many people have we got now? Nine. How long have you been here

:07:02. > :07:06.now, how long have you lived here Three years. Three years. No heating

:07:07. > :07:13.at the moment. Yeah. You have no heating. No heating for three years.

:07:14. > :07:19.Three years? Yeah. Nine people live here paying ?1,500 a month, that is

:07:20. > :07:24.?18,000 a year to their landlord. Having failed its inspection, Adrian

:07:25. > :07:27.is considering a management order on the property. His team would manage

:07:28. > :07:33.it until all necessary repairs are done. With 44,000 families in

:07:34. > :07:36.England living in temporary accommodation and waiting list for

:07:37. > :07:40.social housing the demand for private rented properties will not

:07:41. > :07:45.go away any time soon. Tenants have a responsibility, clean up your

:07:46. > :07:48.homes. Having seen some of these properties, Adrian has most powers

:07:49. > :07:52.than most to deal with these landlords. The way I would do it,

:07:53. > :07:56.make them sleep in their own houses for a night. We were shocked

:07:57. > :08:00.watching that, as I'm sure lots of people in Britain would be. Sir John

:08:01. > :08:05.are you surprised that is going on? I grew up in grotty accommodation in

:08:06. > :08:09.Lambert as a boy, in the 1950s I'm familiar with bad properties. Not as

:08:10. > :08:15.bad as that. How did it can compare? Better than that. Very tiny. Five of

:08:16. > :08:21.us in two small rooms and tiny landing. We used to cook on the

:08:22. > :08:25.landing and the wash room was several floors lower. The belief

:08:26. > :08:28.that the problem has gone away is simply not true. Neither is it true

:08:29. > :08:33.that the problem is new. One of the first... One of the first rogue

:08:34. > :08:40.landlords was George Downing who built Downing Street. Downing Street

:08:41. > :08:42.was a slum. Was it? It was built on marshland outside fashionable

:08:43. > :08:46.Westminster. It was slum property at first. In very bad condition for a

:08:47. > :08:50.very long time. What has happened then to the family we saw in the

:08:51. > :08:57.film, especially the lady with the baby? Disgusting that. Awful. Being

:08:58. > :09:01.eaten alive by bed bugs. She is in that flat with that baby. The agent

:09:02. > :09:05.is working towards the essential repairs, that is what we have been

:09:06. > :09:09.told. The other house, three years without heating. Did you see the

:09:10. > :09:13.mould, imagine that in winter? Is So bad for your health? Horrific. I

:09:14. > :09:18.wouldn't house a dog in there. Horrible. The council are,ing with

:09:19. > :09:21.the agent to get those works done. Adrian said this happens quite often

:09:22. > :09:25.in Oxfordshire, what is the situation across Britain? The

:09:26. > :09:29.majority of private landlords are good. We are talking about a

:09:30. > :09:33.minority here. The notion that we are a land of homeowners is changing

:09:34. > :09:37.now. The if you go back to 19 91 when Sir John was Prime Minister,

:09:38. > :09:48.the private rented sector accounted for 9% of households in the UK.

:09:49. > :09:52.2012-2013 that had doubled, nine million people are renting. A third

:09:53. > :09:57.of them are families with kids, half are over 35. Big demand. Low stocks

:09:58. > :10:02.of social housing. A lot of people can't buy their own houses any more.

:10:03. > :10:05.There is high demand because prices are high, landlords can take

:10:06. > :10:10.advantage? Yeah. Perfect storm at the moment for tenants. There is low

:10:11. > :10:17.demand and - sorry, low supply and high demand. They haven't got

:10:18. > :10:23.bargaining power. Shelter say six out of ten renters complained last

:10:24. > :10:29.year, pest, gas leaks, a third of these properties had a category one

:10:30. > :10:32.safety hazard. A direct severe threat to health and safety of

:10:33. > :10:38.people living there. The demand is bound to grow. There are increasing

:10:39. > :10:41.numbers of small family units. Couples who divorced. Couples with

:10:42. > :10:45.no children. People living longer, but living on their own. There is an

:10:46. > :10:49.increasing demand, particularly for very small units. In the cities they

:10:50. > :10:51.are very expensive. Often they are not available. That offers the

:10:52. > :10:57.opportunity for the rogue landlords. The only way for them to get - There

:10:58. > :10:59.are powers to deal with them. I'm interested to know how many local

:11:00. > :11:06.authorities use them. What they do some of them is unacceptable. As we

:11:07. > :11:11.saw there. Thank you, Tony. Now, Davina, you're about to put us

:11:12. > :11:18.through the emotional wringer again. Like I did with you this afternoon.

:11:19. > :11:26.I know. Extraordinary. It is the run of -- return of Long Lost Family.

:11:27. > :11:29.She was Chrissened with your name. -- christened. Wow! That was really

:11:30. > :11:56.important to her. It's crazy. Father and grandfather. It's crazy.

:11:57. > :11:59.It's remarkable, powerful television Davina, without giving too much

:12:00. > :12:06.away. Obviously, we don't want to blow the story. Mitt It's quite

:12:07. > :12:15.something to watch this? It's really - I don't know... I suppose, it's an

:12:16. > :12:20.honour that people allow us to film what is an incredibly personal

:12:21. > :12:23.moment in their life. I suppose, sometimes it's through desperation

:12:24. > :12:27.because they are so desperate to find someone they are prepared to go

:12:28. > :12:31.on that journey with us. I hope on series four people trust us to tell

:12:32. > :12:36.their story in a way that is respectful. Because some of them are

:12:37. > :12:41.gut wrenchingly difficult, awkward. That story you are watching there.

:12:42. > :12:44.There is an incredible sort of tricky twist to it where the man has

:12:45. > :12:51.to front up to something that he did when he was younger. It's - it's

:12:52. > :12:55.amazing. As a viewer you feel remarkable privilege to be finding

:12:56. > :13:01.out as they do. You follow the story in real-time? I know. Without the

:13:02. > :13:05.bravery of our contributors we would be nothing. The Nicky and I are

:13:06. > :13:10.really, really lucky to be on it, really. As well as the French story

:13:11. > :13:17.that we saw the clip of there. There is a remarkable woman called Ann,

:13:18. > :13:24.she was in a tragic situation when she was younger. Give us background?

:13:25. > :13:27.Ann, like so many women, you know, they find themselves in difficult

:13:28. > :13:35.situations. We found this time and time again. There is so much shame

:13:36. > :13:39.and guilt, sort of, hanging on women's shoulders in particular from

:13:40. > :13:44.this era. Yes, that is on Monday night. You will see both of those

:13:45. > :13:48.stories on Monday night's show on at How has 9.00pm. It helped you to

:13:49. > :13:52.look at your family situation? Oh, it does make you go home and hug

:13:53. > :13:57.your kids extra hard. Sometimes when you hear what these women have been

:13:58. > :14:02.through trying to either keep their children or going home and not

:14:03. > :14:06.having any support. I mean, I have a very close knit family. I'm very

:14:07. > :14:10.lucky. My mum and dad are hugely supportive of all the messes I've

:14:11. > :14:11.got myself into and I've got myself into a lot!

:14:12. > :14:14.got myself into and I've got myself into a You know, they've always been

:14:15. > :14:19.there for me. When you hear of people left on their own. It does,

:14:20. > :14:26.it makes you feel very lucky and blessed. It makes you realise in

:14:27. > :14:30.redemption and forgiveness and that something that you've carried around

:14:31. > :14:34.with you for years and years, as your deepest, darkest, most filthy

:14:35. > :14:39.secret, actually when you speak of it in the cold light of day,

:14:40. > :14:45.suddenly, it doesn't sound so bad. Or you share it with someone. It's

:14:46. > :14:48.like... It's a relief. We all can relate to that on some level. That

:14:49. > :14:52.is why it doesn't matter if you haven't been through this story

:14:53. > :14:55.yourself or that particular example. We can relate to the people that

:14:56. > :15:00.share their stories with us, all of us can. I bet the team is inundated

:15:01. > :15:08.with people who want help for the next series. It's a fantastic

:15:09. > :15:12.service as well to reunite families isn't it? It's on Monday night, ITV

:15:13. > :15:34.at 9.00pm. well footed people. Time for our

:15:35. > :15:38.latest report. I am in Texel, the largest of the Friesian barrier

:15:39. > :15:46.islands off the coast of Holland. I have already used scuppered -- I

:15:47. > :15:51.have already discovered that an amazing two tonnes of flotsam and

:15:52. > :15:57.jetsam wash up here every day. And the beachcombers Alney Island love

:15:58. > :16:04.to hold what they find and put it in museums. Among the life belts and

:16:05. > :16:09.rope on display, there are items here with a more personal tale to

:16:10. > :16:20.tell. I am talking about messages in bottles. During the past 40 years,

:16:21. > :16:25.more than 200 messages have washed up on Texel, many of them from the

:16:26. > :16:33.UK. Like this letter, washed up in 2008. To the finder of this canister

:16:34. > :16:37.- these are the ashes of our dead. We thought he deserved one last

:16:38. > :16:42.trip. If you find him, please write and let us know where and when, then

:16:43. > :16:48.throw him back into continue his last big adventure. John was from

:16:49. > :16:53.Weymouth and had travelled the world as a Staff Sergeant. He even served

:16:54. > :16:58.Winston Churchill. When he passed away in 2007, his family sent him on

:16:59. > :17:02.his final journey, facing his ashes in a photo film canister like this

:17:03. > :17:06.one. They put the canister in a bottle, along with their message,

:17:07. > :17:12.and threw it off the Dover ferry. The local beach, who found John did

:17:13. > :17:23.as he was requested, and cast him back into the sea. He has not been

:17:24. > :17:27.heard of since, but who knows? A message can take as little as one

:17:28. > :17:34.week to get from the east coast of Britain to Texel, but the sender may

:17:35. > :17:40.have to wait a while for an answer. Hello, my name is Leisha, I am eight

:17:41. > :17:45.years old. I bet you are shocked to find this letter. Well, I wanted a

:17:46. > :17:52.pen pal. I do not mind if you are a boy or a girl. Where do you live?

:17:53. > :17:55.Have you heard of The Spice Girls? It was in 1998 that Leisha decided

:17:56. > :18:01.to send a message in a bottle to try to find a pen pal. When you are that

:18:02. > :18:07.age, you get upset when you do not get a reply. What she did not know

:18:08. > :18:12.was that her message had travelled more than 200 miles from her home in

:18:13. > :18:18.sheerness in Kent and washed up here in Texel. It was found by a boy

:18:19. > :18:24.called Joriam Jubbega. How exciting. Although sadly, he was not a fan of

:18:25. > :18:28.The Spice Girls. I was 11 years old when I found the letter. I saw this

:18:29. > :18:33.bottle on the ground and I saw there was a letter in it, so I took it out

:18:34. > :18:38.and I saw that it had been written by a little girl from England.

:18:39. > :18:47.Unfortunately, water had damaged the address on the letter, so Joriam

:18:48. > :18:52.could not reply. I always kept it in my bedroom as some kind of trophy.

:18:53. > :18:56.You might have thought that would be that, but 15 years later, social

:18:57. > :19:03.media gave Joriam his chance to try to track Leisha down. You do not

:19:04. > :19:11.know me and I do not know you, but several years ago... Just now I

:19:12. > :19:16.walked past the letter and I wondered, maybe I could find this

:19:17. > :19:21.girl. I just wondered if this letter could really have travelled that

:19:22. > :19:27.far. When I saw it, I could not believe it. It was the best thing

:19:28. > :19:32.that I was so excited just since then we have been messaging each

:19:33. > :19:38.other. Will you go to meet her, do you think? I do not know, we will

:19:39. > :19:42.see. Time will tell. It would be lovely to meet up one day, to get to

:19:43. > :19:48.know him a bit more. It is like a fairy tale story. How strange and

:19:49. > :19:52.how beautiful but a message just bobbing in the sea can bring

:19:53. > :19:57.together two and connected lives. So, next time you are wandering

:19:58. > :19:58.along the beach and you see a bottle, take a look inside. There

:19:59. > :20:12.just might be a message for you. It is like the best story ever! And

:20:13. > :20:21.here is Leisha, from the film. Where did you expect the bottle to end

:20:22. > :20:28.up? Probably about ten minutes up the coast, or back to where I threw

:20:29. > :20:33.it. I do not know. Now, your man did not believe you, many people did

:20:34. > :20:37.not, when you got this message from Joriam. So, we have got your letter,

:20:38. > :20:49.and you did say you would like to meet him at some point. Are you

:20:50. > :20:58.ready? Yes. Joriam, come on in! Nice to meet you. What is it like seeing

:20:59. > :21:04.each other in the flesh? It is weird, it is really strange. It is

:21:05. > :21:09.surreal, definitely. It is kind of like film, this, but how do you

:21:10. > :21:19.think this film might end? Already?! Do you see where we are

:21:20. > :21:28.going? I do. We will probably have a dog named Dave. It is perfect! While

:21:29. > :21:33.you get to know each other, we can go back to Matt. It is like speed

:21:34. > :21:41.dating with bottles! Arthur, you are here with yet more stuff. Let's

:21:42. > :21:46.start with this one. The most terrifying first date you could ever

:21:47. > :21:54.be on, on live TV! Good to see you again. Yes, well, messages in

:21:55. > :21:58.bottles... This is, according to the Guinness book of records, the bottle

:21:59. > :22:07.which survived longest in the sea with a message in it. Nearly 98

:22:08. > :22:10.years. It was thrown off a boat in 1914 as part of a scientific

:22:11. > :22:17.experiment and was picked up 98 years later, during which time it

:22:31. > :22:35.interested in currents at the bottom of the sea. This champagne bottle

:22:42. > :22:46.unsurprisingly, they decided to have a big drink before they left and

:22:47. > :22:50.through this in the sea, saying, could it be returned up to Carlisle

:22:51. > :22:55.after the war? In fact, it was found a month later, and the nine soldiers

:22:56. > :23:01.all survived the landings, and all bar one survived the war. And this

:23:02. > :23:09.is in the museum in Carlisle Castle, in Cumbria. And there is one more?

:23:10. > :23:17.Yes, there was about which was boarded by pirates -- a boat -- and

:23:18. > :23:20.they did not know what to do, the people on board. Communication was

:23:21. > :23:26.cut off. But they threw a bottle with a message in it, this was only

:23:27. > :23:31.a few years ago, overboard, and it was found by a NATO boat nearby, and

:23:32. > :23:35.the message said it was safe to hoard the thing. So they did, and

:23:36. > :23:42.saved the lives of the people on board. -- to board. So, these

:23:43. > :23:47.messages can start to love affairs and save lives and do anything! And

:23:48. > :23:52.of course, Sting can always write something about them! There are many

:23:53. > :24:01.moments when I could have used a good message in a bottle. Very good!

:24:02. > :24:05.Actor Paul Eddington only spent two years as Prime Minister, but it was

:24:06. > :24:11.his most famous role. As his son reveals, there was much more to him

:24:12. > :24:18.than the bumbling character he played.

:24:19. > :24:21.My father was Paul Eddington, the actor who found worldwide fame in

:24:22. > :24:25.Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister.

:24:26. > :24:37.Humphrey, I have been thinking. Good. But it was playing Jerry

:24:38. > :24:42.Leadbetter in The Good Life which provided him with his first really

:24:43. > :24:46.big television break. It gave audiences of more than 20 million

:24:47. > :24:51.their first opportunity to see what he could do when he was being funny.

:24:52. > :24:57.I was just telephoning to find out whether I could have my car today.

:24:58. > :25:05.Oh, Tuesday. What do you mean, choose day...? My father was in his

:25:06. > :25:10.late 20s when I was born, in 1954. He had been an actor since he was

:25:11. > :25:16.17. Earlier on he had managed to find work, but there were some very

:25:17. > :25:24.hard patches indeed. Luck, I can explain. I had to have money. I

:25:25. > :25:29.certainly know there were hard times. There is the story of my

:25:30. > :25:36.father getting onto an underground train and chancing to meet the late

:25:37. > :25:41.Alan McCabe autumn. And Alan asked him how things work, and he said, I

:25:42. > :25:45.am at my wits end. Alan drew from his pocket a quite substantial sum

:25:46. > :25:54.of money, and my father said, I cannot possibly take it. And what

:25:55. > :25:57.Alan said was, in fact, you can. Apparently it was quite a while

:25:58. > :26:08.before that song was paid back. He was a very hands-on father. And on

:26:09. > :26:16.in Bull Sundays we were all brought here to this house just to play. And

:26:17. > :26:26.he was almost always very funny. What goes 99 punk? A centipede with

:26:27. > :26:29.a wooden leg, that was one of his. I am an actor myself, and when I told

:26:30. > :26:36.my father I was going to be won, he was aghast. He described himself as

:26:37. > :26:43.innately unsuited to being an actor because of the insecurity for which

:26:44. > :26:50.the profession is renowned. Recognition came late for him. And

:26:51. > :26:54.then came the role for which he will always be remembered, Jim Hacker,

:26:55. > :27:02.yes Minister. Bernard, which way am I supposed to be voting? No, it is

:27:03. > :27:07.the second reading... I do not want to know what it is about, I just

:27:08. > :27:12.want to go through the right door! Sir Humphrey knows everything. In

:27:13. > :27:19.fact, my father was the most politically aware person you could

:27:20. > :27:23.meet. Thank you, Minister. My father found it quite amusing that some

:27:24. > :27:31.people actually seemed to think that he was part of the British political

:27:32. > :27:38.establishment. Humphrey is not God, OK? Will you tell him, or shall I.

:27:39. > :27:41.My father discovered that he was definitely going to die of skin

:27:42. > :27:46.cancer while he was in Australia. He kept it quiet as long as he could,

:27:47. > :27:49.but of course, he was hounded by the media and eventually had to talk

:27:50. > :27:57.about it. He was incredibly stoic about it. He used to say, one is

:27:58. > :28:02.perfectly entitled to say, why me, as long as you bear in mind that you

:28:03. > :28:06.might just as well say, why not me know Paul Eddington has died at the

:28:07. > :28:11.age of 68 from a rare form of skin cancer. I was on stage here myself

:28:12. > :28:17.when he finally died and I was told about it when the curtain came down.

:28:18. > :28:30.He would not have had it any other way. The show must go on. But I was

:28:31. > :28:39.not there. When he died. The epitaph he chose for himself was - he did

:28:40. > :28:44.very little wrong. And nobody ever spoke truer word.

:28:45. > :28:54.Sir John, what do you feel like when you see the door to Number Ten and

:28:55. > :29:01.shots like that? It obviously brings back a lot of memories. In many

:29:02. > :29:05.ways, it seems rather like a different life. I am not completely

:29:06. > :29:10.cut off from politics, but I am out of politics, I am not involved in it

:29:11. > :29:13.on a day-to-day basis, but one remembers things. You cannot see

:29:14. > :29:17.that door without remembering walking through it, and you remember

:29:18. > :29:23.the good times and the bad times and what you found when you got through

:29:24. > :29:27.it. From number 10 Downing Street to Buckingham Palace you were there

:29:28. > :29:30.today, launching this brand-new initiative with Prince William and

:29:31. > :29:34.Prince Harry, so what can you is about it? Well, we had a wonderful

:29:35. > :29:42.day. The background is that we have set up a charity the Queen Elizabeth

:29:43. > :29:46.Diamond Jubilee Charity, to celebrate the Queen's60 years as

:29:47. > :29:51.head of the Commonwealth. We propose to spend money on ending avoidable

:29:52. > :29:57.blindness across the Commonwealth, and secondly, the scheme we were

:29:58. > :30:02.launching this afternoon, which was to find reward and honour,

:30:03. > :30:06.inspirational young people from all of the 54 countries in the

:30:07. > :30:10.Commonwealth over the next 50 years. And we launched that today with

:30:11. > :30:17.Prince William and Prince Harry, well, they launched it. And it was

:30:18. > :30:22.an astonishing afternoon. I come from the quill pen age. This

:30:23. > :30:30.afternoon, I visited Google hang-outs, Twitter mirrors, and so

:30:31. > :30:34.did the princes. They sat there and they were talking live to young

:30:35. > :30:39.people in Australia, South Africa, India and Jamaica, and it was an

:30:40. > :30:43.astonishing fact that huge numbers of people were being reached

:30:44. > :30:51.absolutely immediately. And then Malta but of that with people

:30:52. > :30:55.commenting afterwards. You are looking for 240 leaders. Will you

:30:56. > :31:02.join in on the tweeting front, Sir John? Are you on Twitter? I'm not. I

:31:03. > :31:09.had every opportunity. Sir John, best Twitter address EVER! I had

:31:10. > :31:14.every opportunity to express my views years ago, no, I won't. I will

:31:15. > :31:17.leave it to other people. We want to find these inspirational young

:31:18. > :31:20.people. For lots of reasons. It's fashionable these days. You can't

:31:21. > :31:24.pick up a newspaper or watch television without seeing some

:31:25. > :31:29.damning story about young people. I think they ought to meet some of the

:31:30. > :31:33.young people I have met. Some of the inspirational young men and women

:31:34. > :31:40.who were there today. Tell me, tell me about one? Two boys who lost both

:31:41. > :31:43.their parents. Both their parents in the tsunami in Sri Lanka a few years

:31:44. > :31:51.ago. They have set up a business to help orphans all around the world.

:31:52. > :31:54.There is a young lady who set up a charity to help people who have

:31:55. > :32:01.suffered from human trafficking. These are the sort of things they

:32:02. > :32:08.are doing. Another young man who has taken coffee mess, ground coffee

:32:09. > :32:13.thrown away and used and is turning it into biomass. That is three

:32:14. > :32:19.examples of 50 amongst young people who were there today. That was just

:32:20. > :32:22.the UK. There will be people like that right across the Commonwealth.

:32:23. > :32:26.We want to identify them and honour them. Encouraging whoever they are

:32:27. > :32:31.from whatever background they are from? Yes. You said, "in every

:32:32. > :32:37.single fear sphere of British influence, the upper echelons of

:32:38. > :32:42.power in 2013 are held overwhelmingly by the privately

:32:43. > :32:47.educated or the affluent middle-class. To me, from my

:32:48. > :32:52.background, I find that truly shocking? " I do. When you think how

:32:53. > :32:55.rich the Commonwealth countries are, including us, you see some of the

:32:56. > :32:59.Commonwealth countries that are very poor indeed. The scraps from our

:33:00. > :33:05.table are the largest on their table. You begin to realise how much

:33:06. > :33:11.we can help. Is that putting people off, from your view, from becoming

:33:12. > :33:16.laefrd leaders if you aren't from that privileged background? Most of

:33:17. > :33:21.the young people we spoke to didn't come from privileged backgrounds.

:33:22. > :33:25.They came from straight-forward backgrounds. Their drive led them to

:33:26. > :33:29.do something extraordinary. We need to open up the avenues so people can

:33:30. > :33:36.do that. Yes. Like yourself, Sir John. Sometimes people who have been

:33:37. > :33:43.helped want to help others. Through Comic Relief and Sport Relief, have

:33:44. > :33:49.helped others through that. We are lucky, in this country, we have so

:33:50. > :33:55.many real icons. I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about

:33:56. > :34:04.icons in business who came from know where, I cons -- icons in sport who

:34:05. > :34:08.set a good example. It would be a great help to everybody if we

:34:09. > :34:13.focussed on the other side of If you life. Are interested you can find

:34:14. > :34:16.out more about the scheme on our website, theoneshow@bbc.co.uk. Thank

:34:17. > :34:19.you very much, Sir John. We know that you are off now to another

:34:20. > :34:26.engagement. It has been lovely to have your company. Is My pleasure.

:34:27. > :34:33.My apologies for not staying to the end of the show. You will miss some

:34:34. > :34:43.nice toast. You You are. Believe me after the day I've had I would love

:34:44. > :34:47.that toast. It seems odd that the phrase "run like a girl" is still

:34:48. > :34:53.used as a form of insult. A new campaign is trying to change that,

:34:54. > :34:57.Lucy has been discovering. The worst insult I had is the assumption I

:34:58. > :35:03.cannot break up a heavy box because it might break a nail. Mine is,

:35:04. > :35:08.girls can't run. Women are not strong. On the 1st July the BBC's

:35:09. > :35:19.Mark Laurenson caused outrage when he said this about a Swiss player.

:35:20. > :35:22.What was that? His comment which the BBC apologised for, brought an old

:35:23. > :35:38.debate back into focus. Show me what it means to "run like a

:35:39. > :35:42.girl"? They were given the man to "run like a girl". It touched a

:35:43. > :35:46.strong nerve. It's got something right. It is talking to us on some

:35:47. > :35:50.level. I think there is a lot to be said about the language we use and

:35:51. > :35:54.the way we instinctively reject and diminish women and girls

:35:55. > :35:58.particularly. Is like a girl a good thing? I don't know what it really,

:35:59. > :36:02.if it's a bad thing or a good thing. It sounds like a bad thing. Sounds

:36:03. > :36:08.like you are trying to humiliate someone. How did such negative

:36:09. > :36:14.stereo typing become part of every day speech? When do young minds

:36:15. > :36:20.become affected by phrases such as "run like a girl"? It's Sportsday

:36:21. > :36:27.for this high school. We repeated the experiment giving these

:36:28. > :36:33.11-13-year-olds the simple invitation to - run like a girl. I

:36:34. > :36:38.ran in a comedy vibe. I don't know. It comes naturally really. Not all

:36:39. > :36:44.the girls and boys follow the stereotype. When you asked me to run

:36:45. > :36:48.like a girl, I ran normally, there is nothing really different about

:36:49. > :36:52.how girls and boys When you run. Asked me to run like a girl, I ran

:36:53. > :36:55.like how I normally do. That is who I am. It's the exact same as anybody

:36:56. > :37:01.else. I don't see the difference between running like a girl and

:37:02. > :37:06.running normally. It has a direct impact on the way that young people

:37:07. > :37:10.feel about themselves. If they are getting the sense they are being put

:37:11. > :37:14.into a particular box, then it means there is no wriggle room for them.

:37:15. > :37:20.People are saying - this is how I see you. You must see yourself like

:37:21. > :37:25.that. At what age does this particularly begin to affect people?

:37:26. > :37:32.We know that development really has a rush of energy during ed

:37:33. > :37:35.adolescence. If you have negativester Yeo typed phrases

:37:36. > :37:39.coming at you, that is the time when I would be very worried. Sometimes I

:37:40. > :37:44.get a negative reaction because I play football. Some people think

:37:45. > :37:48.it's a sport for boys. They try to psych me out before saying, you are

:37:49. > :37:52.not strong enough, you are not fast enough because you are a girl,

:37:53. > :38:00.things like that. How do you react? I get angry a bit. I try and beat

:38:01. > :38:04.them more. Will this generation of girls finally be the ones to cast

:38:05. > :38:12.off the negative gender stereo typing and breakthrough? Go on

:38:13. > :38:17.girls! Well, my four-year-old girl is developing her running technique

:38:18. > :38:22.at the moment. It's fantastic. When is the Sportsday? Friday. When they

:38:23. > :38:27.do that with their arms. Committed. Committed. Speaking of everything

:38:28. > :38:33.athletic. You are back in the saddle, not beyond breaking point

:38:34. > :38:40.this time. No! For fun! Yes. And health! This summer, Sky are doing

:38:41. > :38:45.these amazing bicycle rides around the UK. Bicycle rides can sometimes

:38:46. > :38:49.be offputing you think of blokes in lycra and they will be cutting up

:38:50. > :38:54.and a peloton. Not with this. It's family fun. It's for everyone. It's

:38:55. > :39:01.free. There is lots of big cities around the UK you can go to

:39:02. > :39:06.Skyride.com. What is it raising money for? Not for anything. To get

:39:07. > :39:09.Britain on their bikes. It's free! With British cycling it's a no

:39:10. > :39:14.brainer. Really good fun. Easy rides. I'm doing one in Liverpool in

:39:15. > :39:20.September. Le it will be my first official ride since the challenge.

:39:21. > :39:24.I'm so - I feel quite emotional about it. I'm looking forward to. I

:39:25. > :39:29.will be there. They cleared the streets. If you are nervous about

:39:30. > :39:35.riding with cars and traffic, it's safe, it's fun. It's brilliant. They

:39:36. > :39:39.have a million more people on bikes, British cycling and Sky through

:39:40. > :39:43.doing this. It's a brilliant, brilliant thing. No brainer. Get on

:39:44. > :39:48.your bike. If you want to get involved, in sky ride, you can find

:39:49. > :39:50.more details on our website, theoneshow@bbc.co.uk. Stand by

:39:51. > :39:58.everybody, in a moment we have got this. The world's longest toaster!

:39:59. > :40:06.Stop it! Look at that. Look at that - that's AMAZING! I need that in my

:40:07. > :40:12.life. Epic music for an epic toaster. Get out of town! You will

:40:13. > :40:16.be out there shortly? Good. A few weeks ago we asked you to come up

:40:17. > :40:25.with the ultimate home baked bread recipe. As always, you rose to the

:40:26. > :40:30.challenge. Who was top seed? Here is Jay to reveal the results. Sliced

:40:31. > :40:36.bread used to be the best thing in the world. With sales dropping,

:40:37. > :40:42.we've seen the resurgence of the home-baked loaf. It's fair to say

:40:43. > :40:48.our love affair with baking is back. While we be having a go, whose bread

:40:49. > :40:51.is best? We asked you to send us your recipes for the perfect

:40:52. > :40:57.homemade loaf. Who made it through to the final three? Alan from mad

:40:58. > :41:06.lock in Derbyshire with his six seed bread. Fee Owen ya from York with

:41:07. > :41:11.her ploughman's lunch loaf. And the country loaf. All of our contestants

:41:12. > :41:14.will have to impress me and my fellow judge, chef Angela Grey. What

:41:15. > :41:22.are we looking for from our breads today? A good crust, fabulous crumb,

:41:23. > :41:31.a good rice in the -- rise in the bread as well. Is there anything

:41:32. > :41:37.that makes it different to other cookoffs we have done. It is hot

:41:38. > :41:40.today. That might move the pace quicker for them. First into the

:41:41. > :41:45.kitchen is Chris. He started his bread last night by making a starter

:41:46. > :41:50.of flour, water and yeast that sends the night in the fridge fermenting.

:41:51. > :41:57.It's the way of making the process easier when you come to doing the

:41:58. > :42:00.loaf. The mixture has fermented. The yeast fermented with the flour and

:42:01. > :42:06.the water. It rises more quickly. What is the purpose of this kind of

:42:07. > :42:12.working of the dough? To get the air in. You are stretching it to get the

:42:13. > :42:18.gluten developed. Trapping the air in every time you fold it over. It

:42:19. > :42:25.improves the flavour. Next up is Fiona, her loaf has inbuilt layers

:42:26. > :42:30.of Parma ham, pesto and red onion chutney. A lot to put in a loaf of

:42:31. > :42:34.bread? It is a big ask. It's fun, you know. Are you nervous about the

:42:35. > :42:38.conditions today being different to those when you first tried making

:42:39. > :42:42.it? You have to treat it like a baby. Keep your eye on it and bear

:42:43. > :42:56.in mind how it will behave. Finally, Alan, who adds pumpkin, sunflower,

:42:57. > :43:06.to his mixture then he has a cup of tea. Where does the baking going?

:43:07. > :43:10.Ing go on? In the bread maker. Do you think the quality of the bread

:43:11. > :43:16.from a bread machine stands up to that made by hand? Yeah, I think it

:43:17. > :43:20.does. The changes that I've made to the ingredients that were originally

:43:21. > :43:26.inspired by a six-seeded loaf just make the difference. Chris's loaf is

:43:27. > :43:30.left to prove, reshape, left to prove, reshaped, cut a bit and

:43:31. > :43:35.popped into the often for 30 minutes. After half an hour baking,

:43:36. > :43:39.Fiona's baby is topped with more extras. After three hours of doing

:43:40. > :43:53.nothing, Alan takes his loaf out of the bread maker. All three now face

:43:54. > :43:57.judgment. First it's Alan's six-seed bread maker loaf. By cutting it, it

:43:58. > :44:03.feels spongy at the top here. I love the flavour with all the seeds in

:44:04. > :44:08.it. He has good flavour. Next up it's Fiona's layered loaf? Novelty

:44:09. > :44:13.bread. It would be lovely to share with people. A lot going for it. It

:44:14. > :44:19.is missing a nice crust. I think the bread itself doesn't quite match the

:44:20. > :44:25.idea. Lastly, it's Chris's classic country loaf. There is a loose crumb

:44:26. > :44:30.to it. The way it should be and springy. Let us have a taste. There

:44:31. > :44:38.is a lot of craft that went into that loaf. It's results time. Thank

:44:39. > :44:41.you for a brilliant day's baking. They were terrific loaves today.

:44:42. > :44:48.There has to be a winner. The winner of the one show Bread Cook-off is...

:44:49. > :44:54.Alan. Texture and appearance were important. In the end it came down

:44:55. > :44:59.to which tasted best. We both agreed Alan's crunchy six-seeded bread,

:45:00. > :45:03.made in his bread maker, really did provide the nicest slice.

:45:04. > :45:06.APPLAUSE Huge congratulations to Alan. I

:45:07. > :45:15.can't believe a bread machine won, can you? No. I have spent five hours

:45:16. > :45:18.watching two people make artisan bread, bosh, bosh, press and I still

:45:19. > :45:30.won! I tell you what. FANFARE. You have to hang it up on

:45:31. > :45:42.the wall. Something nice to keep. Congratulations again.

:45:43. > :45:54.bread, and now, we are going to move onto toast. We have the biggest we

:45:55. > :46:05.can supply the whole of the BBC. 34 slices. Ready, steady... I just want

:46:06. > :46:10.to get the butter on. If it gets too cold, it is not going to taste good.

:46:11. > :46:20.And raisins, I have got the raisins! It is all about the butter,

:46:21. > :46:26.that is the important thing. It is all about the butter. That is the

:46:27. > :46:33.Hovis. You asked me to find really good bread for toast. Davina has

:46:34. > :46:42.gone for this one, which is a St John bakery raisin bread. When you

:46:43. > :46:50.toast raisins, it is a lovely thing. Is it a bit like a teacake? It is

:46:51. > :46:56.quite sour, but the raisins give it the sweetness. I cannot stand really

:46:57. > :47:03.sweet bread. It is a serious loaf of bread. You know the price of a loaf

:47:04. > :47:13.of bread, well done, Matt, you are so real! Not all of these loaves of

:47:14. > :47:21.bread are that expensive. This one is known as a Seed Sensation. I know

:47:22. > :47:26.a lot of artisan bread makers will be furious with me, because it is

:47:27. > :47:33.made using the Chorleywood system. I am going to like this one, it is a

:47:34. > :47:42.posh one. This is sourdough, it is a piece of history. And this costs ?9

:47:43. > :47:51.per loaf. That is expensive! But can I say, this ways to kilos. That is

:47:52. > :47:57.going to last you... Can I just say something? It is amazing. My

:47:58. > :48:03.favourite so far. If you think, two kilos, so actually it is about ?2 30

:48:04. > :48:13.per pound, so it is not all that expensive. What's more, it lasts for

:48:14. > :48:19.two weeks. And also, the flavour changes, it grows and develops and

:48:20. > :48:28.becomes really interesting. ?9, but it is the winner. Now, in a moment

:48:29. > :48:35.we will be speaking to James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire from the

:48:36. > :48:39.Manic Street Preachers. But first, Carrie went to find out why they

:48:40. > :48:43.chose a title longer than this toaster for their first number one

:48:44. > :48:47.single. Back in the 1930s, more than 100

:48:48. > :48:52.Welsh miners put their lives on the line to fight against fascists in

:48:53. > :48:56.the Spanish civil war. 60 years later, it inspired an unlikely

:48:57. > :48:59.number one hit for a band who had never forgotten their Welsh roots.

:49:00. > :49:03.The manically preachers were formed from a bunch of right minded,

:49:04. > :49:08.politically conscious school friends who grew up here in Blackwood, a

:49:09. > :49:12.small mining town, 18 miles from Cardiff. It was the history of his

:49:13. > :49:16.mining community which led the Manics to write one of their biggest

:49:17. > :49:23.hits - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.

:49:24. > :49:31.# And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next... #

:49:32. > :49:37.It was really edgy, with the miners strike, there was great bitterness

:49:38. > :49:41.and rancour, but there was also a kind of intellectual stimulation.

:49:42. > :49:45.The tightly knit mining community had a tradition of standing up for

:49:46. > :49:50.its beliefs, not least in joining the fight against fascism in the

:49:51. > :49:55.1930s. The song takes its title from a Republican poster from the time of

:49:56. > :50:00.the Spanish civil war. In your town, growing up, they would have been

:50:01. > :50:05.aware of the miners doing this? Yes, up and down the valley ease, there

:50:06. > :50:08.are monuments and stuff. I just thought this amazing thing of going

:50:09. > :50:17.to another country to fight for a cause, without any compulsion to go,

:50:18. > :50:20.other than believing in something. I compared it to my lame idea of

:50:21. > :50:35.myself, and I thought, I would never do that. Was it may be shame of

:50:36. > :50:41.being so young and so vain? Acres that was the idea, that much that I

:50:42. > :50:45.liked thinking about the Spanish civil war, and reading about it, I

:50:46. > :50:53.doubt that I would have hopped on a boat and taken up arms. So, do you

:50:54. > :51:02.ever sit in a room and write? Together? Oh, God forbid. Why do you

:51:03. > :51:09.say that? We have just been around each other since we were five years

:51:10. > :51:13.old. Same school! Enough has been revealed between all of us. To have

:51:14. > :51:19.to stare each other in the eyes again, and say, you know, I wrote

:51:20. > :51:31.this... If you look at the lyrics, there is a name and colic pause in

:51:32. > :51:36.the song. -- melancholic. And it just came really quickly. And they

:51:37. > :51:50.tend not to have many chords in them. A minor, he minor, F and C,

:51:51. > :51:56.and that is it. So, you had no idea that this would

:51:57. > :52:04.travel the So, you had no idea that way it

:52:05. > :52:09.did? No, because it was deeply politically charged, and we just

:52:10. > :52:17.thought... But then our manager just straightaways said, that is going to

:52:18. > :52:24.be big. It would be their first number one, topping the charts for

:52:25. > :52:30.an incredible 11 weeks. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records,

:52:31. > :52:36.isn't it? Yes, we were a nightmare for MTV presenters at the time. It

:52:37. > :52:45.is not going to fly in America, you know! That it is still playing, 16

:52:46. > :52:53.years later. When we play the song now, there is a sense of relief.

:52:54. > :53:00.There is a small on clay at the bar, and it is like, they love this one,

:53:01. > :53:08.that is enough for me! Just about everybody connects with it.

:53:09. > :53:14.That song will be in everybody's head all night. And now you have

:53:15. > :53:24.given the chords to all the guitarists in Britain. It is only

:53:25. > :53:29.five chords. I am partly Welsh, but we are not going to go there. You

:53:30. > :53:34.have experimented with so many different sounds over the years, it

:53:35. > :53:39.has been, what, 16 years now? Longer than that. We wrote our first song

:53:40. > :53:44.when we were in school, at 16. How would you describe the tracks on

:53:45. > :53:52.your new album, Futurology? Post-punk, disco rock. Something for

:53:53. > :53:57.all of us! A walking tag line. You went to Germany to record it, why

:53:58. > :54:04.did you do that? We have got a lot of German reference points in the

:54:05. > :54:10.songs. Just stuff from when we were young. It seemed natural. A lot of

:54:11. > :54:19.German music from the 1970s was influencing our songs. There is a

:54:20. > :54:23.guy from Cardiff who we worked with on the third album, he lives and

:54:24. > :54:38.works over there as well. So it was really good. It was in Berlin. One

:54:39. > :54:56.of the songs on the album is Walk Me To The Bridge...

:54:57. > :55:12.# Walk me to the bridge. # Walk me to the bridge #

:55:13. > :55:19.Is it right that this song came as quite a difficult time for you?

:55:20. > :55:24.I have a lot of difficult times as a rule, since I turned 40! It was just

:55:25. > :55:29.a moment of exhaustion, really. You look back and you are kind of

:55:30. > :55:32.weighed down a bit, because I am the band's biggest fan. I was looking

:55:33. > :55:37.back and thinking, can we be that good again? I was driving over the

:55:38. > :55:42.bridge to in Sweden and Denmark, and as usual, I had a note book with

:55:43. > :55:47.me. The lyrics are started, and I was thinking, I cannot do this any

:55:48. > :55:55.more. But we get to Copenhagen, and everything is fine again. Thank you

:55:56. > :56:05.very much. You are going to perform for us now, one of off you go. --

:56:06. > :56:16.one of your classic tracks. Off you go. Thank you very much, Davina, as

:56:17. > :56:22.well. I always feel very sad when it is over with you guys. An hour and a

:56:23. > :56:29.half, it would not be enough, ever. Do come and see us again. And next

:56:30. > :56:33.time, we will be joined by Matt's dad, John Craven. But for now, we

:56:34. > :56:37.leave you with the Manic Street Preachers, with one of their earlier

:56:38. > :56:47.hits, You Stole The Sun From My Heart.

:56:48. > :57:11.# Drinking. # I love you all the same

:57:12. > :57:22.# You don't have to believe me # I love you all the same

:57:23. > :57:25.# But you stole the sun from my heart

:57:26. > :57:54.# # You stole the sun from my heart

:57:55. > :58:04.# You stole the sun from # You have broken through my armour

:58:05. > :58:21.# And I don't have an answer # I love you all the same.

:58:22. > :58:29.# I paint the things I want to see # But it don't come easy

:58:30. > :58:38.# I love you all the same. # But you stole the sun from my

:58:39. > :58:58.heart. # You stole the sun from my heart.

:58:59. > :59:18.# Used older son -- you stole the sun from my heart.
