Margaret Thatcher. country together after the fall of

No, not him. Him. Music with a message from the Manic Street

Preachers. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE What a show we have. Welcome to The

One Show and welcome of course to Davina McCall and Sir John Major.

Sir John is this your first time on The One Show? It is. We will settle

you down with cricket talk. You nearly didn't make it, you were in a

lift 20 seconds ago. I'm glad it works. A close run thing. Cricket

259-4 against India. Will retain national pride on the sporting

front? Yeah. Sure, it's an extremely good batting wicket. Each of of our

batsmen scored a Test 100. We should be more confident. There we are.

Come on! Come on! This is the first time we have seen you lady since

your amazing beyond breaking point challenge? Is it really? I have seen

you, but on the show for the first time. Looking radiant you have

recovered and all fine? I have. It took a while. Three months before I

could think about sitting on a bicycle, I'm back in the saddle and

very happy about it. A big congratulations. Thank you. We will

talk about why you are back in the saddle shortly. Sir John you have

been at Buckingham Palace. We will talk about that later. We have a

film in Paul Eddington's son. Now, yes Prime Minister, were you a fan

back in the day? I was a fanst fan. Everybody was. I can recall meetings

that stopped because we wished to go out and watch the show. You are

kidding me? Absolutely not! Absolutely not! Wow. The You will

enjoy this film we have. Get the tissues at the ready. Davina will be

telling us about the brand new series of Long Lost Family. The Matt

has been in bits this afternoon. I have. I have just recovered in time

for this evening's With the programme. Boom in the private

rental sector, more and more people are finding themselves living in

squalor and having to pay for the privilege. Tony Livesey's been to

Oxford to join an inspection team who are fighting an increasing

problem, dodgy landlords. This is Adrian Chowns he works on Oxford's

City Council's front-line in its battle with bad landlords. Across

England and Wales, landlords need a license before they can let a

property, room by room to five or more people. In Oxford, they have

tightened the rules, you need a license if you're letting it to more

than two. I'm from the council. I spoke to you the other As well day.

As making sure landlords have licenses, it's Adrian's job to make

sure they are not exploiting tenants. He and his colleagues

inspected 350 properties last year, and prosecuted 12 landlords. There

has been a report of a pest infestation at this property, Adrian

also suspects the landlord is unlicensed. There are cockroaches

everywhere. They have gone under there. Living under the tiles. Look

at them running away now. There is a cockroach on the fridge there on the

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

cleaning. Professional cleaners are required here. When you are a

landlord you have a basic responsibility. Even though a tenant

might be responsible for attracting cockroaches in the first place it's

up to land Lords to get rid of them. One of the tenants here, who doesn't

want to be identified, shows me the room she rents and shares with her

baby. Can I get that for you? Yes. She and her baby aren't just sharing

with the cockroaches, there are bed bugs too. Biting your baby? Yeah,

they are biting my baby. On his cheek? Yes. That's not good at night

if you can't get to Mum says sleep. She lies awake at night removing the

bed dugs from her baby and squashing them. You see that splatter. How

much rent do you play? ?360 a month. It works out at nearly ?4,500 a

year. Adrian finds some of the rooms have more than one paying tenants.

That room has been let to one person. We found three people in

there. It is a case of us speaking to the landlord or the agent and

finding out what the situation is. He has known landlords to rent out

every available space they can. Make sure there is nobody living in the

shed. How typical is that house? We are finding it on a regular basis.

Adrian will contact this landlord to tell them the house is not up to

scratch. If you are a landlord cramming people into your property

what can you make? If they are operating 20 properties unlawfully,

you know, they could be turning over between ?300,000 and half a million

worth in rent a year. What are the penalties if you transgress? You can

be fined up to ?20,000. We find the courts are a little reluctant to

(inaudible). They will issue fines of ?2,000. Our next house has had

four visits from the team. He is hoping to see improvements. Bad

signs here already. Half the wiring is off-the-wall. Up stairs there is

a serious mould problem. Oh, my God! This was like this when we came last

time. The landlord was told to clean it off. Obviously, the stench isn't

pleasant. That is what people can't... It's just - I wouldn't

house my Westies in here. No. Am I over reacting? I don't think so. OK.

How many people have we got now? Nine. How long have you been here

now, how long have you lived here Three years. Three years. No heating

at the moment. Yeah. You have no heating. No heating for three years.

Three years? Yeah. Nine people live here paying ?1,500 a month, that is

?18,000 a year to their landlord. Having failed its inspection, Adrian

is considering a management order on the property. His team would manage

it until all necessary repairs are done. With 44,000 families in

England living in temporary accommodation and waiting list for

social housing the demand for private rented properties will not

go away any time soon. Tenants have a responsibility, clean up your

homes. Having seen some of these properties, Adrian has most powers

than most to deal with these landlords. The way I would do it,

make them sleep in their own houses for a night. We were shocked

watching that, as I'm sure lots of people in Britain would be. Sir John

are you surprised that is going on? I grew up in grotty accommodation in

Lambert as a boy, in the 1950s I'm familiar with bad properties. Not as

bad as that. How did it can compare? Better than that. Very tiny. Five of

us in two small rooms and tiny landing. We used to cook on the

landing and the wash room was several floors lower. The belief

that the problem has gone away is simply not true. Neither is it true

that the problem is new. One of the first... One of the first rogue

landlords was George Downing who built Downing Street. Downing Street

was a slum. Was it? It was built on marshland outside fashionable

Westminster. It was slum property at first. In very bad condition for a

very long time. What has happened then to the family we saw in the

film, especially the lady with the baby? Disgusting that. Awful. Being

eaten alive by bed bugs. She is in that flat with that baby. The agent

is working towards the essential repairs, that is what we have been

told. The other house, three years without heating. Did you see the

mould, imagine that in winter? Is So bad for your health? Horrific. I

wouldn't house a dog in there. Horrible. The council are,ing with

the agent to get those works done. Adrian said this happens quite often

in Oxfordshire, what is the situation across Britain? The

majority of private landlords are good. We are talking about a

minority here. The notion that we are a land of homeowners is changing

now. The if you go back to 19 91 when Sir John was Prime Minister,

the private rented sector accounted for 9% of households in the UK.

2012-2013 that had doubled, nine million people are renting. A third

of them are families with kids, half are over 35. Big demand. Low stocks

of social housing. A lot of people can't buy their own houses any more.

There is high demand because prices are high, landlords can take

advantage? Yeah. Perfect storm at the moment for tenants. There is low

demand and - sorry, low supply and high demand. They haven't got

bargaining power. Shelter say six out of ten renters complained last

year, pest, gas leaks, a third of these properties had a category one

safety hazard. A direct severe threat to health and safety of

people living there. The demand is bound to grow. There are increasing

numbers of small family units. Couples who divorced. Couples with

no children. People living longer, but living on their own. There is an

increasing demand, particularly for very small units. In the cities they

are very expensive. Often they are not available. That offers the

opportunity for the rogue landlords. The only way for them to get - There

are powers to deal with them. I'm interested to know how many local

authorities use them. What they do some of them is unacceptable. As we

saw there. Thank you, Tony. Now, Davina, you're about to put us

through the emotional wringer again. Like I did with you this afternoon.

I know. Extraordinary. It is the run of -- return of Long Lost Family.

She was Chrissened with your name. -- christened. Wow! That was really

important to her. It's crazy. Father and grandfather. It's crazy.

It's remarkable, powerful television Davina, without giving too much

away. Obviously, we don't want to blow the story. Mitt It's quite

something to watch this? It's really - I don't know... I suppose, it's an

honour that people allow us to film what is an incredibly personal

moment in their life. I suppose, sometimes it's through desperation

because they are so desperate to find someone they are prepared to go

on that journey with us. I hope on series four people trust us to tell

their story in a way that is respectful. Because some of them are

gut wrenchingly difficult, awkward. That story you are watching there.

There is an incredible sort of tricky twist to it where the man has

to front up to something that he did when he was younger. It's - it's

amazing. As a viewer you feel remarkable privilege to be finding

out as they do. You follow the story in real-time? I know. Without the

bravery of our contributors we would be nothing. The Nicky and I are

really, really lucky to be on it, really. As well as the French story

that we saw the clip of there. There is a remarkable woman called Ann,

she was in a tragic situation when she was younger. Give us background?

Ann, like so many women, you know, they find themselves in difficult

situations. We found this time and time again. There is so much shame

and guilt, sort of, hanging on women's shoulders in particular from

this era. Yes, that is on Monday night. You will see both of those

stories on Monday night's show on at How has 9.00pm. It helped you to

look at your family situation? Oh, it does make you go home and hug

your kids extra hard. Sometimes when you hear what these women have been

through trying to either keep their children or going home and not

having any support. I mean, I have a very close knit family. I'm very

lucky. My mum and dad are hugely supportive of all the messes I've

got myself into and I've got myself into a lot!

got myself into and I've got myself into a You know, they've always been

there for me. When you hear of people left on their own. It does,

it makes you feel very lucky and blessed. It makes you realise in

redemption and forgiveness and that something that you've carried around

with you for years and years, as your deepest, darkest, most filthy

secret, actually when you speak of it in the cold light of day,

suddenly, it doesn't sound so bad. Or you share it with someone. It's

like... It's a relief. We all can relate to that on some level. That

is why it doesn't matter if you haven't been through this story

yourself or that particular example. We can relate to the people that

share their stories with us, all of us can. I bet the team is inundated

with people who want help for the next series. It's a fantastic

service as well to reunite families isn't it? It's on Monday night, ITV

at 9.00pm. well footed people. Time for our

latest report. I am in Texel, the largest of the Friesian barrier

islands off the coast of Holland. I have already used scuppered -- I

have already discovered that an amazing two tonnes of flotsam and

jetsam wash up here every day. And the beachcombers Alney Island love

to hold what they find and put it in museums. Among the life belts and

rope on display, there are items here with a more personal tale to

tell. I am talking about messages in bottles. During the past 40 years,

more than 200 messages have washed up on Texel, many of them from the

UK. Like this letter, washed up in 2008. To the finder of this canister

- these are the ashes of our dead. We thought he deserved one last

trip. If you find him, please write and let us know where and when, then

throw him back into continue his last big adventure. John was from

Weymouth and had travelled the world as a Staff Sergeant. He even served

Winston Churchill. When he passed away in 2007, his family sent him on

his final journey, facing his ashes in a photo film canister like this

one. They put the canister in a bottle, along with their message,

and threw it off the Dover ferry. The local beach, who found John did

as he was requested, and cast him back into the sea. He has not been

heard of since, but who knows? A message can take as little as one

week to get from the east coast of Britain to Texel, but the sender may

have to wait a while for an answer. Hello, my name is Leisha, I am eight

years old. I bet you are shocked to find this letter. Well, I wanted a

pen pal. I do not mind if you are a boy or a girl. Where do you live?

Have you heard of The Spice Girls? It was in 1998 that Leisha decided

to send a message in a bottle to try to find a pen pal. When you are that

age, you get upset when you do not get a reply. What she did not know

was that her message had travelled more than 200 miles from her home in

sheerness in Kent and washed up here in Texel. It was found by a boy

called Joriam Jubbega. How exciting. Although sadly, he was not a fan of

The Spice Girls. I was 11 years old when I found the letter. I saw this

bottle on the ground and I saw there was a letter in it, so I took it out

and I saw that it had been written by a little girl from England.

Unfortunately, water had damaged the address on the letter, so Joriam

could not reply. I always kept it in my bedroom as some kind of trophy.

You might have thought that would be that, but 15 years later, social

media gave Joriam his chance to try to track Leisha down. You do not

know me and I do not know you, but several years ago... Just now I

walked past the letter and I wondered, maybe I could find this

girl. I just wondered if this letter could really have travelled that

far. When I saw it, I could not believe it. It was the best thing

that I was so excited just since then we have been messaging each

other. Will you go to meet her, do you think? I do not know, we will

see. Time will tell. It would be lovely to meet up one day, to get to

know him a bit more. It is like a fairy tale story. How strange and

how beautiful but a message just bobbing in the sea can bring

together two and connected lives. So, next time you are wandering

along the beach and you see a bottle, take a look inside. There

just might be a message for you. It is like the best story ever! And

here is Leisha, from the film. Where did you expect the bottle to end

up? Probably about ten minutes up the coast, or back to where I threw

it. I do not know. Now, your man did not believe you, many people did

not, when you got this message from Joriam. So, we have got your letter,

and you did say you would like to meet him at some point. Are you

ready? Yes. Joriam, come on in! Nice to meet you. What is it like seeing

each other in the flesh? It is weird, it is really strange. It is

surreal, definitely. It is kind of like film, this, but how do you

think this film might end? Already?! Do you see where we are

going? I do. We will probably have a dog named Dave. It is perfect! While

you get to know each other, we can go back to Matt. It is like speed

dating with bottles! Arthur, you are here with yet more stuff. Let's

start with this one. The most terrifying first date you could ever

be on, on live TV! Good to see you again. Yes, well, messages in

bottles... This is, according to the Guinness book of records, the bottle

which survived longest in the sea with a message in it. Nearly 98

years. It was thrown off a boat in 1914 as part of a scientific

experiment and was picked up 98 years later, during which time it

had managed to get about nine miles. It is a slow-moving bottle, although

of course it may have been around the world several times. It was a

letter relating to a scientific experiment? That is it, they were

interested in currents at the bottom of the sea. This champagne bottle

dates from 1944. There were nine soldiers going off to D-Day, and not

unsurprisingly, they decided to have a big drink before they left and

through this in the sea, saying, could it be returned up to Carlisle

after the war? In fact, it was found a month later, and the nine soldiers

all survived the landings, and all bar one survived the war. And this

is in the museum in Carlisle Castle, in Cumbria. And there is one more?

Yes, there was about which was boarded by pirates -- a boat -- and

they did not know what to do, the people on board. Communication was

cut off. But they threw a bottle with a message in it, this was only

a few years ago, overboard, and it was found by a NATO boat nearby, and

the message said it was safe to hoard the thing. So they did, and

saved the lives of the people on board. -- to board. So, these

messages can start to love affairs and save lives and do anything! And

of course, Sting can always write something about them! There are many

moments when I could have used a good message in a bottle. Very good!

Actor Paul Eddington only spent two years as Prime Minister, but it was

his most famous role. As his son reveals, there was much more to him

than the bumbling character he played.

My father was Paul Eddington, the actor who found worldwide fame in

Yes Minister and Yes, Prime Minister.

Humphrey, I have been thinking. Good. But it was playing Jerry

Leadbetter in The Good Life which provided him with his first really

big television break. It gave audiences of more than 20 million

their first opportunity to see what he could do when he was being funny.

I was just telephoning to find out whether I could have my car today.

Oh, Tuesday. What do you mean, choose day...? My father was in his

late 20s when I was born, in 1954. He had been an actor since he was

17. Earlier on he had managed to find work, but there were some very

hard patches indeed. Luck, I can explain. I had to have money. I

certainly know there were hard times. There is the story of my

father getting onto an underground train and chancing to meet the late

Alan McCabe autumn. And Alan asked him how things work, and he said, I

am at my wits end. Alan drew from his pocket a quite substantial sum

of money, and my father said, I cannot possibly take it. And what

Alan said was, in fact, you can. Apparently it was quite a while

before that song was paid back. He was a very hands-on father. And on

in Bull Sundays we were all brought here to this house just to play. And

he was almost always very funny. What goes 99 punk? A centipede with

a wooden leg, that was one of his. I am an actor myself, and when I told

my father I was going to be won, he was aghast. He described himself as

innately unsuited to being an actor because of the insecurity for which

the profession is renowned. Recognition came late for him. And

then came the role for which he will always be remembered, Jim Hacker,

yes Minister. Bernard, which way am I supposed to be voting? No, it is

the second reading... I do not want to know what it is about, I just

want to go through the right door! Sir Humphrey knows everything. In

fact, my father was the most politically aware person you could

meet. Thank you, Minister. My father found it quite amusing that some

people actually seemed to think that he was part of the British political

establishment. Humphrey is not God, OK? Will you tell him, or shall I.

My father discovered that he was definitely going to die of skin

cancer while he was in Australia. He kept it quiet as long as he could,

but of course, he was hounded by the media and eventually had to talk

about it. He was incredibly stoic about it. He used to say, one is

perfectly entitled to say, why me, as long as you bear in mind that you

might just as well say, why not me know Paul Eddington has died at the

age of 68 from a rare form of skin cancer. I was on stage here myself

when he finally died and I was told about it when the curtain came down.

He would not have had it any other way. The show must go on. But I was

not there. When he died. The epitaph he chose for himself was - he did

very little wrong. And nobody ever spoke truer word.

Sir John, what do you feel like when you see the door to Number Ten and

shots like that? It obviously brings back a lot of memories. In many

ways, it seems rather like a different life. I am not completely

cut off from politics, but I am out of politics, I am not involved in it

on a day-to-day basis, but one remembers things. You cannot see

that door without remembering walking through it, and you remember

the good times and the bad times and what you found when you got through

it. From number 10 Downing Street to Buckingham Palace you were there

today, launching this brand-new initiative with Prince William and

Prince Harry, so what can you is about it? Well, we had a wonderful

day. The background is that we have set up a charity the Queen Elizabeth

Diamond Jubilee Charity, to celebrate the Queen's60 years as

head of the Commonwealth. We propose to spend money on ending avoidable

blindness across the Commonwealth, and secondly, the scheme we were

launching this afternoon, which was to find reward and honour,

inspirational young people from all of the 54 countries in the

Commonwealth over the next 50 years. And we launched that today with

Prince William and Prince Harry, well, they launched it. And it was

an astonishing afternoon. I come from the quill pen age. This

afternoon, I visited Google hang-outs, Twitter mirrors, and so

did the princes. They sat there and they were talking live to young

people in Australia, South Africa, India and Jamaica, and it was an

astonishing fact that huge numbers of people were being reached

absolutely immediately. And then Malta but of that with people

commenting afterwards. You are looking for 240 leaders. Will you

join in on the tweeting front, Sir John? Are you on Twitter? I'm not. I

had every opportunity. Sir John, best Twitter address EVER! I had

every opportunity to express my views years ago, no, I won't. I will

leave it to other people. We want to find these inspirational young

people. For lots of reasons. It's fashionable these days. You can't

pick up a newspaper or watch television without seeing some

damning story about young people. I think they ought to meet some of the

young people I have met. Some of the inspirational young men and women

who were there today. Tell me, tell me about one? Two boys who lost both

their parents. Both their parents in the tsunami in Sri Lanka a few years

ago. They have set up a business to help orphans all around the world.

There is a young lady who set up a charity to help people who have

suffered from human trafficking. These are the sort of things they

are doing. Another young man who has taken coffee mess, ground coffee

thrown away and used and is turning it into biomass. That is three

examples of 50 amongst young people who were there today. That was just

the UK. There will be people like that right across the Commonwealth.

We want to identify them and honour them. Encouraging whoever they are

from whatever background they are from? Yes. You said, "in every

single fear sphere of British influence, the upper echelons of

power in 2013 are held overwhelmingly by the privately

educated or the affluent middle-class. To me, from my

background, I find that truly shocking? " I do. When you think how

rich the Commonwealth countries are, including us, you see some of the

Commonwealth countries that are very poor indeed. The scraps from our

table are the largest on their table. You begin to realise how much

we can help. Is that putting people off, from your view, from becoming

laefrd leaders if you aren't from that privileged background? Most of

the young people we spoke to didn't come from privileged backgrounds.

They came from straight-forward backgrounds. Their drive led them to

do something extraordinary. We need to open up the avenues so people can

do that. Yes. Like yourself, Sir John. Sometimes people who have been

helped want to help others. Through Comic Relief and Sport Relief, have

helped others through that. We are lucky, in this country, we have so

many real icons. I'm not talking about politics, I'm talking about

icons in business who came from know where, I cons -- icons in sport who

set a good example. It would be a great help to everybody if we

focussed on the other side of If you life. Are interested you can find

out more about the scheme on our website, [email protected]. Thank

you very much, Sir John. We know that you are off now to another

engagement. It has been lovely to have your company. Is My pleasure.

My apologies for not staying to the end of the show. You will miss some

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

that toast. It seems odd that the phrase "run like a girl" is still

used as a form of insult. A new campaign is trying to change that,

Lucy has been discovering. The worst insult I had is the assumption I

cannot break up a heavy box because it might break a nail. Mine is,

girls can't run. Women are not strong. On the 1st July the BBC's

Mark Laurenson caused outrage when he said this about a Swiss player.

What was that? His comment which the BBC apologised for, brought an old

debate back into focus. Show me what it means to "run like a

girl"? They were given the man to "run like a girl". It touched a

strong nerve. It's got something right. It is talking to us on some

level. I think there is a lot to be said about the language we use and

the way we instinctively reject and diminish women and girls

particularly. Is like a girl a good thing? I don't know what it really,

if it's a bad thing or a good thing. It sounds like a bad thing. Sounds

like you are trying to humiliate someone. How did such negative

stereo typing become part of every day speech? When do young minds

become affected by phrases such as "run like a girl"? It's Sportsday

for this high school. We repeated the experiment giving these

11-13-year-olds the simple invitation to - run like a girl. I

ran in a comedy vibe. I don't know. It comes naturally really. Not all

the girls and boys follow the stereotype. When you asked me to run

like a girl, I ran normally, there is nothing really different about

how girls and boys When you run. Asked me to run like a girl, I ran

like how I normally do. That is who I am. It's the exact same as anybody

else. I don't see the difference between running like a girl and

running normally. It has a direct impact on the way that young people

feel about themselves. If they are getting the sense they are being put

into a particular box, then it means there is no wriggle room for them.

People are saying - this is how I see you. You must see yourself like

that. At what age does this particularly begin to affect people?

We know that development really has a rush of energy during ed

adolescence. If you have negativester Yeo typed phrases

coming at you, that is the time when I would be very worried. Sometimes I

get a negative reaction because I play football. Some people think

it's a sport for boys. They try to psych me out before saying, you are

not strong enough, you are not fast enough because you are a girl,

things like that. How do you react? I get angry a bit. I try and beat

them more. Will this generation of girls finally be the ones to cast

off the negative gender stereo typing and breakthrough? Go on

girls! Well, my four-year-old girl is developing her running technique

at the moment. It's fantastic. When is the Sportsday? Friday. When they

do that with their arms. Committed. Committed. Speaking of everything

athletic. You are back in the saddle, not beyond breaking point

this time. No! For fun! Yes. And health! This summer, Sky are doing

these amazing bicycle rides around the UK. Bicycle rides can sometimes

be offputing you think of blokes in lycra and they will be cutting up

and a peloton. Not with this. It's family fun. It's for everyone. It's

free. There is lots of big cities around the UK you can go to

Skyride.com. What is it raising money for? Not for anything. To get

Britain on their bikes. It's free! With British cycling it's a no

brainer. Really good fun. Easy rides. I'm doing one in Liverpool in

September. Le it will be my first official ride since the challenge.

I'm so - I feel quite emotional about it. I'm looking forward to. I

will be there. They cleared the streets. If you are nervous about

riding with cars and traffic, it's safe, it's fun. It's brilliant. They

have a million more people on bikes, British cycling and Sky through

doing this. It's a brilliant, brilliant thing. No brainer. Get on

your bike. If you want to get involved, in sky ride, you can find

more details on our website, [email protected]. Stand by

everybody, in a moment we have got this. The world's longest toaster!

Stop it! Look at that. Look at that - that's AMAZING! I need that in my

life. Epic music for an epic toaster. Get out of town! You will

be out there shortly? Good. A few weeks ago we asked you to come up

with the ultimate home baked bread recipe. As always, you rose to the

challenge. Who was top seed? Here is Jay to reveal the results. Sliced

bread used to be the best thing in the world. With sales dropping,

we've seen the resurgence of the home-baked loaf. It's fair to say

our love affair with baking is back. While we be having a go, whose bread

is best? We asked you to send us your recipes for the perfect

homemade loaf. Who made it through to the final three? Alan from mad

lock in Derbyshire with his six seed bread. Fee Owen ya from York with

her ploughman's lunch loaf. And the country loaf. All of our contestants

will have to impress me and my fellow judge, chef Angela Grey. What

are we looking for from our breads today? A good crust, fabulous crumb,

a good rice in the -- rise in the bread as well. Is there anything

that makes it different to other cookoffs we have done. It is hot

today. That might move the pace quicker for them. First into the

kitchen is Chris. He started his bread last night by making a starter

of flour, water and yeast that sends the night in the fridge fermenting.

It's the way of making the process easier when you come to doing the

loaf. The mixture has fermented. The yeast fermented with the flour and

the water. It rises more quickly. What is the purpose of this kind of

working of the dough? To get the air in. You are stretching it to get the

gluten developed. Trapping the air in every time you fold it over. It

improves the flavour. Next up is Fiona, her loaf has inbuilt layers

of Parma ham, pesto and red onion chutney. A lot to put in a loaf of

bread? It is a big ask. It's fun, you know. Are you nervous about the

conditions today being different to those when you first tried making

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

in mind how it will behave. Finally, Alan, who adds pumpkin, sunflower,

to his mixture then he has a cup of tea. Where does the baking going?

Ing go on? In the bread maker. Do you think the quality of the bread

from a bread machine stands up to that made by hand? Yeah, I think it

does. The changes that I've made to the ingredients that were originally

inspired by a six-seeded loaf just make the difference. Chris's loaf is

left to prove, reshape, left to prove, reshaped, cut a bit and

popped into the often for 30 minutes. After half an hour baking,

Fiona's baby is topped with more extras. After three hours of doing

nothing, Alan takes his loaf out of the bread maker. All three now face

judgment. First it's Alan's six-seed bread maker loaf. By cutting it, it

feels spongy at the top here. I love the flavour with all the seeds in

it. He has good flavour. Next up it's Fiona's layered loaf? Novelty

bread. It would be lovely to share with people. A lot going for it. It

is missing a nice crust. I think the bread itself doesn't quite match the

idea. Lastly, it's Chris's classic country loaf. There is a loose crumb

to it. The way it should be and springy. Let us have a taste. There

is a lot of craft that went into that loaf. It's results time. Thank

you for a brilliant day's baking. They were terrific loaves today.

There has to be a winner. The winner of the one show Bread Cook-off is...

Alan. Texture and appearance were important. In the end it came down

to which tasted best. We both agreed Alan's crunchy six-seeded bread,

made in his bread maker, really did provide the nicest slice.

APPLAUSE Huge congratulations to Alan. I

can't believe a bread machine won, can you? No. I have spent five hours

watching two people make artisan bread, bosh, bosh, press and I still

won! I tell you what. FANFARE. You have to hang it up on

the wall. Something nice to keep. Congratulations again.

bread, and now, we are going to move onto toast. We have the biggest we

can supply the whole of the BBC. 34 slices. Ready, steady... I just want

to get the butter on. If it gets too cold, it is not going to taste good.

And raisins, I have got the raisins! It is all about the butter,

that is the important thing. It is all about the butter. That is the

Hovis. You asked me to find really good bread for toast. Davina has

gone for this one, which is a St John bakery raisin bread. When you

toast raisins, it is a lovely thing. Is it a bit like a teacake? It is

quite sour, but the raisins give it the sweetness. I cannot stand really

sweet bread. It is a serious loaf of bread. You know the price of a loaf

of bread, well done, Matt, you are so real! Not all of these loaves of

bread are that expensive. This one is known as a Seed Sensation. I know

a lot of artisan bread makers will be furious with me, because it is

made using the Chorleywood system. I am going to like this one, it is a

posh one. This is sourdough, it is a piece of history. And this costs ?9

per loaf. That is expensive! But can I say, this ways to kilos. That is

going to last you... Can I just say something? It is amazing. My

favourite so far. If you think, two kilos, so actually it is about ?2 30

per pound, so it is not all that expensive. What's more, it lasts for

two weeks. And also, the flavour changes, it grows and develops and

becomes really interesting. ?9, but it is the winner. Now, in a moment

we will be speaking to James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire from the

Manic Street Preachers. But first, Carrie went to find out why they

chose a title longer than this toaster for their first number one

single. Back in the 1930s, more than 100

Welsh miners put their lives on the line to fight against fascists in

the Spanish civil war. 60 years later, it inspired an unlikely

number one hit for a band who had never forgotten their Welsh roots.

The manically preachers were formed from a bunch of right minded,

politically conscious school friends who grew up here in Blackwood, a

small mining town, 18 miles from Cardiff. It was the history of his

mining community which led the Manics to write one of their biggest

hits - If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next.

# And if you tolerate this, then your children will be next... #

It was really edgy, with the miners strike, there was great bitterness

and rancour, but there was also a kind of intellectual stimulation.

The tightly knit mining community had a tradition of standing up for

its beliefs, not least in joining the fight against fascism in the

1930s. The song takes its title from a Republican poster from the time of

the Spanish civil war. In your town, growing up, they would have been

aware of the miners doing this? Yes, up and down the valley ease, there

are monuments and stuff. I just thought this amazing thing of going

to another country to fight for a cause, without any compulsion to go,

other than believing in something. I compared it to my lame idea of

myself, and I thought, I would never do that. Was it may be shame of

being so young and so vain? Acres that was the idea, that much that I

liked thinking about the Spanish civil war, and reading about it, I

doubt that I would have hopped on a boat and taken up arms. So, do you

ever sit in a room and write? Together? Oh, God forbid. Why do you

say that? We have just been around each other since we were five years

old. Same school! Enough has been revealed between all of us. To have

to stare each other in the eyes again, and say, you know, I wrote

this... If you look at the lyrics, there is a name and colic pause in

the song. -- melancholic. And it just came really quickly. And they

tend not to have many chords in them. A minor, he minor, F and C,

and that is it. So, you had no idea that this would

travel the So, you had no idea that way it

did? No, because it was deeply politically charged, and we just

thought... But then our manager just straightaways said, that is going to

be big. It would be their first number one, topping the charts for

an incredible 11 weeks. It is in the Guinness Book of World Records,

isn't it? Yes, we were a nightmare for MTV presenters at the time. It

is not going to fly in America, you know! That it is still playing, 16

years later. When we play the song now, there is a sense of relief.

There is a small on clay at the bar, and it is like, they love this one,

that is enough for me! Just about everybody connects with it.

That song will be in everybody's head all night. And now you have

given the chords to all the guitarists in Britain. It is only

five chords. I am partly Welsh, but we are not going to go there. You

have experimented with so many different sounds over the years, it

has been, what, 16 years now? Longer than that. We wrote our first song

when we were in school, at 16. How would you describe the tracks on

your new album, Futurology? Post-punk, disco rock. Something for

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

did you do that? We have got a lot of German reference points in the

songs. Just stuff from when we were young. It seemed natural. A lot of

German music from the 1970s was influencing our songs. There is a

guy from Cardiff who we worked with on the third album, he lives and

works over there as well. So it was really good. It was in Berlin. One

of the songs on the album is Walk Me To The Bridge...

# Walk me to the bridge. # Walk me to the bridge #

Is it right that this song came as quite a difficult time for you?

I have a lot of difficult times as a rule, since I turned 40! It was just

a moment of exhaustion, really. You look back and you are kind of

weighed down a bit, because I am the band's biggest fan. I was looking

back and thinking, can we be that good again? I was driving over the

bridge to in Sweden and Denmark, and as usual, I had a note book with

me. The lyrics are started, and I was thinking, I cannot do this any

more. But we get to Copenhagen, and everything is fine again. Thank you

very much. You are going to perform for us now, one of off you go. --

one of your classic tracks. Off you go. Thank you very much, Davina, as

well. I always feel very sad when it is over with you guys. An hour and a

half, it would not be enough, ever. Do come and see us again. And next

time, we will be joined by Matt's dad, John Craven. But for now, we

leave you with the Manic Street Preachers, with one of their earlier

hits, You Stole The Sun From My Heart.

# Drinking. # I love you all the same

# You don't have to believe me # I love you all the same

# But you stole the sun from my heart

# # You stole the sun from my heart

# You stole the sun from # You have broken through my armour

# And I don't have an answer # I love you all the same.

# I paint the things I want to see # But it don't come easy

# I love you all the same. # But you stole the sun from my

heart. # You stole the sun from my heart.

# Used older son -- you stole the sun from my heart.
