more! # | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
What are you doing? You are not Bridget Jones, you are Alex Jones | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
and you are certainly not alone. There is a whole studio waiting for | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
the show. I'm just waiting for my Mr Right. Nice jumper! Wait until you | :00:55. | :01:00. | |
see my granny pants. What a start. Hello, welcome to The | :01:00. | :01:21. | |
One Show. 119 pounds, 300 calories, zero alcohol units. 182 pounds, | :01:21. | :01:30. | |
eight alcohol units, Matt Baker. Not very good. She was a | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
weight-obsessed, calorie counting thirtysomething who drank too much. | :01:34. | :01:42. | |
She is now a weight-obsessed calorie counting fiftysomething who drank | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
too much. We are joined by the woman that brought her to life, Helen | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
Fielding. I think we have to cut to the chase. All women will be | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
shouting at the television screen, why did you kill off Mark Darcy? I | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
know, I find the reaction quite touching. That people care so much | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
about a fictional character. We loved Mark Darcy. I know, because | :02:09. | :02:17. | |
nobody has actually died. But a piece of us has died. That is very | :02:17. | :02:22. | |
true. We were surprised by the reaction, you were reading endless | :02:22. | :02:28. | |
tweets. I turned on news, was in my pyjamas, and everybody was talking | :02:28. | :02:36. | |
about him being dead. I had to tell Colin, and that was hard. How did he | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
take it? Like the gentleman that he and Mark Darcy are. I had to ask if | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
he was sitting down and had somebody with him. And we were both upset, | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
but we were half laughing because nobody had actually died. It is | :02:52. | :02:57. | |
about Bridget, later in life. Things do happen. It is much better that | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
Mark Darcy should remain as a magnificent memory in the book and | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
that his memory will also always be shiny. But not in a reindeer | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
sweater. We have an hour to get to the bottom of this. You are not | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
alone tonight. Also with those is a man whose early life sounds like it | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
was straight out of Bridget Jones's Diary. Listen to this from his | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
autobiography. Place after placed Diary. Listen to this from his | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
hand-me-down. I don't know what possessed me, but I went into an | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
American dinette on the piazza in Covent Garden 's. I announced in a | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
strange accident that I was Canadian and my name was David Villapando. It | :03:38. | :03:46. | |
is David Villapando himself, Graham Norton is with us tonight. Hello. | :03:46. | :04:01. | |
Hi. Graham, Helen. David Villapando? Did you get the job? I did. It was | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
in the early 80s, in London. Not the best time to have an Irish accent. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
When did you tell them you were not Canadian? I thought I would be a | :04:12. | :04:19. | |
Canadian. I knew an American called David Villapando. I thought they | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
would be softer on the working Visa. I thought, go Canadian, they | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
will never guess. You are back on BBC One on Friday. Very exciting. | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
You said you are a bit rusty on your radio show. Feel free to ask the | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
question is, if you want a warm up. We are happy. Do the legwork for us. | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
Go for your life. Have you got an hour? Tied for the first surprise. | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
We will also be hearing a lot more about this over the next few weeks. | :04:50. | :04:58. | |
This will be making its way around the Commonwealth head of the games | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
in Glasgow next year. Later, Alex Salmond will come in to collect it. | :05:02. | :05:08. | |
I will handed round so you can touch it. There is only one. Is there not | :05:08. | :05:16. | |
a stand-by in case somebody makes it... Steals it? Security was high | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
with the Olympic torches. But, with this one. We are opening the one | :05:20. | :05:32. | |
show voting lines. You have had your say on Royal Mail shares and beauty | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
pageants for children. Tonight we are going to be talking about these. | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
E-cigarettes. They are very much in the news. You know how these work, | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
you use them sometimes. They split into two parts. A capsule of liquid | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
nicotine and a battery that produces the vapour. You put it together and | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
you have your cigarette. But there is no tobacco or tar in them, so it | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
is a move in the right direction. This is like the Olympic torch | :06:01. | :06:08. | |
version of an e-cigarette. The market for e-cigarettes looks like | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
it is about to explode. With adverts cropping up all over the country | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
that look like this one, here are two views for you. One is from the | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
BMA and the other is from smoker Rod Liddle. | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
Proper, nice cigarettes have been banned in most public places, so | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
people are trying to give up smoking. Increasingly, they are | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
turning to these. This is the e-cigarette. It has an exciting blue | :06:35. | :06:49. | |
tip. Everybody has agreed that these things are much less damaging to the | :06:49. | :06:53. | |
person using them than normal cigarettes. They are an invaluable | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
aid to giving up smoking. 1.5 million are trying to do that with | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
them right now. So, why on earth are the doctors of the BMA trying to ban | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
them from public places? I don't understand. Eggs Benedict, please. | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
He seems pretty sure of himself, but determining how safe and effective | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
they are is a problem that countries determining how safe and effective | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
all over the world are wrestling with. While it is legal to buy and | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
use them here, some restaurants ban them. The BMA wants to take that | :07:25. | :07:32. | |
even further. We think the smoke-free legislation should be | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
extended to cover e-cigarettes for a number of reasons. The current ban | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
in public places has been extremely effective. It has meant it is | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
considered unacceptable to be seen smoking in restaurants and bars. The | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
use of e-cigarettes, where they do look like normal cigarettes and they | :07:49. | :07:54. | |
are used to mimic the effects of normal cigarettes, it may allow | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
smoking behaviour to be considered normal again. They say that these | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
undermine existing legislation, but normal again. They say that these | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
that is an absurdity. The existing legislation is there to stop some | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
people breeding in my second-hand smoke. These produce no smoke. -- | :08:11. | :08:19. | |
breathing. They do produce a vapour. We know it contains, amongst other | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
things, nicotine. It can be harmful to people that are exposed to it. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
E-cigarette vapour also contains a number of other compounds. What we | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
do not know is how safe these compounds are. Tobacco companies | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
have muscled in on the e-cigarettes as well. Many have launched their | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
own ranges or have bought up companies that sell them. Do you | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
want to know what the BMA is worried about? It is worried that these | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
might make smoking glamorous. Have you ever seen anything less | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
glamorous than this? Some studies from America have shown | :08:52. | :09:03. | |
there is a greater awareness of e-cigarettes amongst high school | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
students and greater use. Our concern is that it is creating a | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
market amongst teenagers and other lessons which, potentially, could | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
act as a gateway into developing a tobacco habit in later years. I can | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
see the glamour of proper cigarettes. It suggests say certain | :09:21. | :09:27. | |
devil may care recklessness and that sort of thing. But e-cigarettes? It | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
just tells people you are an addict, a loser who needs this ludicrous | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
contraption to wander around with its glowing blue tip. Anything that | :09:36. | :09:44. | |
can help reduce the impact that smoking has on our public is to be | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
welcomed. I know that smoking is very bad for you and it leads to | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
horrible diseases and I should give it up. My best chance of giving it | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
up is using one of these. Far better than patches or chewing gum. Why on | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
earth would the BMA want to dissuade me from doing that? We do need more | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
research and data to show that they are both safe and effective as a way | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
of getting people to stop smoking. At the moment there are no laws to | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
cover where you can smoke e-cigarettes. Although there are | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
some local bands, for instance on trains. Our vote is this. Should | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
smoking e-cigarettes be banned in public places? | :10:29. | :10:42. | |
Alternatively, you can vote online. The vote ends at 7:35 sharp. What do | :10:42. | :11:00. | |
you two reckon? As somebody who has occasionally used them, do you think | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
you two reckon? As somebody who has they should be banned in public | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
places? I am not sure how you would enforce it. Do you think it sets a | :11:07. | :11:16. | |
good example? You would have to check closely to see if it was a | :11:16. | :11:22. | |
pen. Day to light up. A lot of peering policeman would be going | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
around looking at what people are doing. Well, if some was in a | :11:25. | :11:34. | |
restaurant, then you would know... The thing that confuses me is why | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
they are banned in toilets on aeroplanes. You cannot smoke them on | :11:40. | :11:52. | |
a plane? Why? It is a stupid idea to ban them, then. I have never smoked | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
in my life. But Rod Liddle is such a great advert for smoking that I | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
might take it up. That is your opinion, Graham! Do you think it | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
confuses people? If you don't smoke, you are in a restaurant and somebody | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
starts using one of these e-cigarettes, does it turn into | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
anti-social behaviour? That does not smell, make a noise, it is not | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
anti-social behaviour. It is very elegant. I do wonder what I should | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
feel about this, I see people with vapour pouring out of them. Is it | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
good or bad? You should not care. I try not to, it makes me feel weird. | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
Put it in your smoking balloon and let it go. You may remember last | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
week that we introduced you to the staff of a recruitment firm called | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
Total Jobs. Yes, and their mums. This is a light-hearted experiment | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
to see if mums can improve their child's's performance at work. A | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
very scary thought for many of us. We tried it last week and I was a | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
bag of nerves. Tonight, we get to the nitty-gritty. | :13:06. | :13:16. | |
On any given day in Britain, 29 million people go to work. But not | :13:16. | :13:23. | |
many would take their mums with them. Boss John Salt has decided | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
that mum sends might make perfect business sense for his company, | :13:30. | :13:36. | |
Total Jobs. I am really excited to see if mums know best. Three of his | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
employees are going to have their three mums with them at work for a | :13:41. | :13:47. | |
week. It is morning, and while everyone else is eating breakfast at | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
their desks, the mums are having a mother 's meeting. They are shown | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
evidence of what their offspring are really like at work. For Maggie, | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
Ryan's moment, all is not well. Because he is so hands-on, he likes | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
everything being done in a particular way. I saw that you have | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
requested more holiday? You are hard particular way. I saw that you have | :14:11. | :14:20. | |
work, you are. He can get a bit hot-headed, throw his toys out of | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
the pram. Bbc.co.uk/queensbatonrelay you can wait for someone else to do | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
it for you, or do it. But hold on, he's only 27 and living at home. He | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
is so professional and driven that he wants everybody else to be like | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
that as well. But not everybody is. He can be quite blunt. He can be | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
quite brush. As a new manager, it is something he needs to work on. | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
Maggie is not just a moment, she's something he needs to work on. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
had teaching assistant at a school for with additional needs. For that | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
role you need to be calm, unique to be nonjudgemental. These attributes | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
that I feel I could share with Ryan, which could help him in his role. | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
So, how will Maggie play it? Parenting skill, at or tender? | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
Dashed tough or tender? How are you? Not bad, you? Not bad. We had a | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
meeting, and I saw some interesting footage. Do you remember being | :15:26. | :15:33. | |
filmed in the office? What you might have got up to? No. I thought there | :15:33. | :15:41. | |
were certain things you could improve on. That would be how you | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
interact with staff. improve on. That would be how you | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
times, when you speak to them, you do not think before you speak. Just | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
think about your tone. Quiet, slow, nice and relaxed. Rather than sort | :15:54. | :16:00. | |
of... Barking at them? Which maybe you do at times. It is not just | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
tough talk. She has a plan to make a better manager. With a blindfold | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
on, you learn how to depend on other people. This team-building exercise | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
is to do with trust and taking instruction. Trust is essential to | :16:18. | :16:27. | |
being a good Li -- good leader. You are walking at a funny angle. You | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
have to be clearer with instructions. Everybody is saying he | :16:32. | :16:37. | |
is so slow, so you have to trust her. I don't trust her. That is the | :16:37. | :16:45. | |
problem so you need to take a deep breath and listen to Gwen. In some | :16:45. | :16:51. | |
ways I do still see Ryan as being a bit of a child. Particularly if he | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
doesn't want to do something, if he is upset. At times like that I see | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
him as the little boy he once was. It is time mummy's little boy gave | :17:02. | :17:07. | |
the directions. Keep walking in a straight line, forward. That's it. | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
Nice, calm, gentle tones. Ryan was actually quite bossy and bullish and | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
his instructions were not as clear. It was like, move over. I have a | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
feeling she can bring some stuff to the areas I am struggling in, to | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
have trust in my team and hopefully earning their trust as a leader. | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
Thanks, mum. Coming up, customer care director Jill gets candy coated | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
feedback on a presentation from her mum, Sheila. It is OK having a joke | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
with the people you work with but it could be senior management. You need | :17:49. | :17:55. | |
to know your audience. Sorry. It is funny, having that voice in | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
the back of your head the whole time, but she is actually there. It | :17:58. | :18:03. | |
was strange lastly, we had all mothers here. Was quite off-putting. | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
Mary looking at me daggers! Parts two of that coming up. Graham's show | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
is back on Friday, can we reveal the guests? Yes, because we have done | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
it, they have all showed up. I guests? Yes, because we have done | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
checked last night, I am sure they are all there. Harrison Ford, | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
Benedict Cumberbatch, Jack Whitehall. It was quite scary | :18:32. | :18:38. | |
because Benedict Cumberbatch was finishing filming and he was on his | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
way to the studio. At the other end, Harrison Ford had a plane he | :18:42. | :18:47. | |
had to catch. The show was getting shorter and shorter! Where is this | :18:47. | :18:53. | |
going to meet? We got there in the end, and it all happened. Harrison | :18:53. | :18:59. | |
Ford, he is not known as God 's gift to chat and actually he was charming | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
and lovely and nice. Benedict Cumberbatch was on the last Cirrus, | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
he is brilliant, he did a very good impression of you -- last series. He | :19:13. | :19:23. | |
does the laugh. I can't do it, you will recognise it. If you said | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
something funny, Alex... Quick, put it on. | :19:29. | :19:41. | |
HE IMPERSONATES GRAHAM. It is so good! Jonathan Ross was | :19:41. | :19:54. | |
complaining he could not get the guests because you manage to get | :19:54. | :19:58. | |
them all. He is being disingenuous because if there was only one chat | :19:58. | :20:03. | |
show in the world, you would still struggle to get guests. You're | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
looking for very rich, famous people and why would they leave the house? | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
They have a very nice life, flatscreen televisions, room | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
service, probably! It is kind of swings and roundabouts. If we get | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
the best guests this week, you will get the best ones next week. Is it | :20:19. | :20:27. | |
hard to fit them into the schedule? It is tough because you think, so | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
and so is in town but you can't get the studio that night. Someone has | :20:30. | :20:36. | |
got to talk to them. But it won't be me. It is very seat of your pants | :20:36. | :20:46. | |
stuff, it can be last-minute, something is concerned, you have | :20:46. | :20:47. | |
kept the studio and it is all hands something is concerned, you have | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
on deck. You always manage to get your guests up off the sofa, we have | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
things planned for you later by the way. There is that laugh again! A | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
really good example was Will Smith, you did a little dance with him and | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
Carlton and Jade on. Did you rehearse this? I had seen them do it | :21:12. | :21:17. | |
but you could tell I had not rehearse this? I had seen them do it | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
rehearsed it. I am older and whiter! It is so bad. Did it get 5 million | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
hits? I think it is now over 20 million. It was all down to Will | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
Smith. He had been on with Gary Barlow and they did the fresh Prince | :21:37. | :21:46. | |
wrap Addicott about 78 -- and it got about 7 million hits. He thought, I | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
can do well with this show, get it out there. He dreamt all that up. He | :21:50. | :21:56. | |
flew in Carlton, it wasn't down to us. He gave us this gift. It was so | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
exciting. The audience went hysterical. I felt like Oprah | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
Winfrey saying, you get a car, you get a car! Really exciting. Have you | :22:05. | :22:14. | |
got the red chair? It is back, it is not in the first show. It will be in | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
the second show, don't worry. Do you watch the show? Sometimes... | :22:21. | :22:30. | |
And I have read bits of your book! Piers Morgan controversially said he | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
is the best in the business. Graham is much better than Piers Morgan. He | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
said that for effect but if you read what he actually said, he said we do | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
different jobs. He sits there for an hour and he really picks apart | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
someone's life. Would you like to do that? If their life was interesting | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
enough. There are not many people who warrants that, I don't think. In | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
a way I think, this is a waste, there are loads of stories we are | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
not getting. But that is someone else's job. I really like the job | :23:14. | :23:20. | |
that I do and sometimes I don't get to do that. You do it brilliantly | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
and it is the dynamics between your guests that works so well. You can | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
keep inviting the guests back, this is your fourth time on The One Show! | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
You can see the Graham Norton show on BBC One this Friday. Much as we | :23:39. | :23:47. | |
admire and sometimes envy your roster of celebrities, we have | :23:47. | :23:49. | |
something that your team can only dream of. Guests may open their | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
hearts are you but are Christine go straight for their potting shed. | :23:55. | :24:00. | |
Now, this is the way to arrive at a celebrity's garden, courtesy of | :24:00. | :24:09. | |
their own transport. You are going celebrity's garden, courtesy of | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
to like this garden. Not a lot, but you are going to like it. That was | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
very good, but go up when you say not a lot. You were close. Yes, of | :24:19. | :24:28. | |
course. The catchphrase and the garden along to the magical couple, | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee. They have lived here on the Thames for 15 | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
years. It is a fabulous spot, a garden full of established trees and | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
natural colour. But it can be prone to the odd British flood. This part | :24:45. | :24:51. | |
of the garden, sometimes in the winter, gets covered in river water. | :24:51. | :24:56. | |
I would quite like to pebble this lot. But it would get full of silt. | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
It would look a right mess. And it is not in keeping with the | :25:03. | :25:04. | |
surroundings. This is a thug, do you know about | :25:04. | :25:19. | |
this? This seeds itself down and you will have it absolutely everywhere. | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
Thereof are a few plants I take against but this is a real pain in | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
the posterior. -- there are very few plants. You like that effect, you | :25:29. | :25:39. | |
like a Grossi thing. There is another plant which is very magical. | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
Why don't you just call them Fred or Mary? If we put it in we will call | :25:45. | :25:53. | |
it Christine. There is animal magic in the household, too. This nesting | :25:53. | :26:00. | |
swan returns every year. Over time the two weeks have turned into | :26:00. | :26:08. | |
trees. -- over time the two weeks -- twigs have turned into trees. There | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
used to be rabbits in the act but they retired this year. This is | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
hopper, named after the Beckham baby come born at the same time as Harper | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
seven so I called her hopper seven. I love roses and for my birthday | :26:21. | :26:34. | |
about five years ago, Mum and dad came over and planted all these | :26:34. | :26:40. | |
roses. This is heaven for me. My dad has always been a keen gardener, a | :26:40. | :26:47. | |
surprise chrysanthemum grower. I suppose he got my interest going. | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
Every year he has planted in pots and the hanging baskets. A | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
phenomenal undertaking. It is not just a case of here you are, have a | :26:55. | :27:03. | |
pot plant. He is pretty fit, my dad. With Paul, it was a very different | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
story in his childhood. I come from the most polluted town in the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
country at one time, a place called South bank near Middlesbrough. A | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
great community but no gardens at all. I never saw a tree until I was | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
about 11. There were not any. It was just rows of terraced houses, toilet | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
about 11. There were not any. It was down the backyard. Do you consider | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
yourself lucky to be able to afford something like this? I have worked | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
like hell for it, why should I be lucky question for a long time I | :27:36. | :27:40. | |
only slept four hours a night, writing, thinking, inventing, | :27:40. | :27:45. | |
changing. Will you ever retire and have time to enjoy this and time | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
with Debbie? We are two lucky people in that we work together. We have | :27:50. | :27:56. | |
been together 33, 34 years, married to 25 we are very relaxed and | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
happy. It upsets some journalists but that's OK, I don't care. I will | :28:02. | :28:10. | |
retire when the work stops. Probably one day they will put me in my box. | :28:10. | :28:16. | |
Make you disappear? No, I will escape! | :28:16. | :28:22. | |
Apparently, a certain somebody has been in that garden, Graham? Here is | :28:22. | :28:31. | |
the hurly-burly of my showbiz life. I know I have been in that garden, I | :28:31. | :28:37. | |
have no recollection why. I was in it and I met Debbie and Paul and | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
they brought me tea. It will shortly after some flooding had taken place. | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
Can you confirm or deny if this is you. It was more after the flooding | :28:47. | :28:57. | |
than that! You have no clue as to why? I don't really know. It is a | :28:57. | :29:05. | |
lovely place. Finding your card earns money. We ask you this | :29:05. | :29:15. | |
question, should smoking e-cigarettes be banned in public | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
places? Here is what smoker Rod Liddle has to say about them. | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
Everybody agrees that these are much less damaging than normal cigarettes | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
and an invaluable way to give up smoking. 1.5 million of us are | :29:29. | :29:33. | |
trying to do that with them right now. So why are the doctors of the | :29:33. | :29:37. | |
BMA trying to ban them from public places? | :29:37. | :29:40. | |
And this is Doctor representative Ram Moorthy. They do produce a | :29:40. | :29:49. | |
vapour, which contains, amongst other things, nicotine. We need more | :29:49. | :29:53. | |
data to show that they are both safe and effective as a way of getting | :29:53. | :29:59. | |
people to stop smoking. We want to know what you think. The question | :29:59. | :30:04. | |
is, should smoking e-cigarettes be banned in public places? We are | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
getting a lot of response on this. You still have some time and we will | :30:06. | :30:33. | |
reveal the results later. In about ten minutes. Onto Bridget Jones. She | :30:33. | :30:37. | |
was a poster girl for a generation of women growing up in the 90s, | :30:37. | :30:41. | |
including me. Her cooking skills are no better than mine. And the celery, | :30:41. | :30:51. | |
mix together and strain. Straining, strain, strain... Perfect. Slice the | :30:51. | :30:58. | |
oranges and great the zest. That was Renee Zellweger, playing | :30:58. | :31:12. | |
Bridget Jones. 14 years on, what has become of you? Real-life Bridgets, | :31:12. | :31:20. | |
did you finally find your Mr Darcy? My name is Chloe and I am a | :31:20. | :31:26. | |
real-life Bridget is. I am Lindsey and I was a real-life Bridget Joe | :31:26. | :31:32. | |
is. Jones was my maiden name and I was a real-life Bridget Jones. | :31:32. | :31:42. | |
People said I looked just like her. There is a certain face I can poll | :31:42. | :31:49. | |
where I look a lot like her. Do you know where the toilets are? She is a | :31:49. | :31:59. | |
very down-to-earth person, very real. When I first realised I had | :31:59. | :32:03. | |
the same birthday, that really made me feel like I had a strong link | :32:03. | :32:08. | |
with her. My friends used to refer to me as Bridget Jones, because of | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
my initials and personal circumstances. Resolution number | :32:12. | :32:21. | |
one. Lose 20 pounds. Number two, always put the pants in the laundry | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
basket. Equally important, find nice, sensible boyfriend to go out | :32:25. | :32:30. | |
with. I would do a lot of diet, and I would write down what I had eaten | :32:30. | :32:35. | |
every day. I think all women approach scales with a sense of fear | :32:35. | :32:43. | |
and loathing. I created my own diet, where you can eat anything that is | :32:43. | :32:45. | |
and loathing. I created my own diet, white or see-through. I scream, | :32:45. | :32:51. | |
vodka, gin. You don't put any weight on. Della why are so many women in | :32:51. | :32:58. | |
their 30s not married, Bridget? When your friends have husbands and | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
boyfriends, as the only single person, you feel alone. When you see | :33:02. | :33:10. | |
it on screen it it must be a common theme. My grandmother would keep | :33:10. | :33:20. | |
asking, are you courting? No. The chances of reaching a crucial moment | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
greatly increase by wearing these. Reid I've had these since 1990. You | :33:24. | :33:32. | |
always go for the big knickers. You need to suck it in or you will not | :33:32. | :33:36. | |
attract them in the first place. I think all women have problems with | :33:36. | :33:41. | |
what they are going to wear, going through 1 million outfits before you | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
what they are going to wear, going can go out. Eventually, I gave up | :33:42. | :33:51. | |
hope. I was convinced I would be a spinster for the rest of my life. | :33:51. | :34:02. | |
One particular ex-boyfriend, he was very much like that, a bad boy, he | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
cheated on me and I would always go back to him, in the same way that | :34:06. | :34:12. | |
Bridget always goes back to Daniel. You have to meet a feud Daniels to | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
know when a Mr Darcy comes along, you have to have something to | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
compare it to. I would like to kiss you goodbye. Do you mind? I do have | :34:22. | :34:29. | |
a Mr Darcy. I feel like he is my prize for being on the Bridget | :34:29. | :34:34. | |
mentoring scheme for so long. My Mr Darcy is Stuart, and we have two | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
boys. My husband is a Royal Marine, he is also ten years younger than | :34:39. | :34:44. | |
me. Bridget Jones did good. It just goes to show that waiting for the | :34:44. | :34:49. | |
right man to come along, it is worth it. | :34:49. | :34:56. | |
A massive thank you to the three girls who took part. And thank you | :34:56. | :35:01. | |
to everybody that wrote in. It really makes us happy to hear your | :35:01. | :35:08. | |
stories. I like the sound of the white diet. The detail, the way that | :35:08. | :35:12. | |
girl squeezed herself into those pants, it was quite remarkable. I | :35:12. | :35:17. | |
find it really moving, watching that. It is so funny. I just started | :35:17. | :35:23. | |
writing Bridget because I was broke, and a newspaper offered me a column | :35:23. | :35:30. | |
as a dating girl in London. Because I am quite private, I thought, I'll | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
make somebody up. I thought they would stop it for being too silly. | :35:33. | :35:39. | |
You must be massively surprised that Bridget has become this phenomenon. | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
She made us feel, girls of a certain age that were single, that we | :35:44. | :35:49. | |
weren't on our own. When I was writing that, I wrote it anonymously | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
because I thought, this is just me that is like this. To satisfy you? | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
Just because I had been offered a column, I was trying to write | :35:58. | :36:02. | |
another novel and I was broke. I just thought it was me being asked, | :36:02. | :36:08. | |
why are you not married, how is your love life, thinking I was a tragic | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
spinster that was going to end up being eaten by a dog. All of those | :36:11. | :36:18. | |
agonising things that you go through. Taking your watch off to | :36:18. | :36:27. | |
get weighed. Silly things. To find out that other people felt the same | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
way, it is quite moving. How scary out that other people felt the same | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
was it, 14 years later, dipping, right, it is time to bring her back? | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
Were you surprised yourself that you put pen to paper? I was, it wasn't | :36:39. | :36:48. | |
actually a pen, it was a computer. What triggered it? I always keep a | :36:48. | :36:52. | |
diary on my computer. I still have the note from 18 months ago, I | :36:52. | :36:56. | |
wonder if I could write a story about so and so? I kind of lost my | :36:56. | :37:02. | |
voice after the success of Bridget. I started writing it without telling | :37:02. | :37:04. | |
voice after the success of Bridget. anyone. I just wrote it secretly. | :37:04. | :37:10. | |
With the first one, if I had known so many people would read it, I | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
wouldn't have dared write it. With this one, I would not dare write it | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
if I thought it was going to be a big thing. So I just wrote it in the | :37:17. | :37:21. | |
armchair I usually write in, and just expressed what I wanted to | :37:21. | :37:27. | |
express. I had been collecting stuff. The world has moved on a | :37:28. | :37:35. | |
lot. My daughter was born by see section. I did a group e-mail saying | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
when she was going to be born, what her name was. And then I sent it to | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
everybody. I have to send another her name was. And then I sent it to | :37:43. | :37:49. | |
e-mail saying, I haven't really had the baby, I'm sorry. So then I | :37:49. | :37:55. | |
couldn't say, actually, I have had the baby now. I started to think | :37:55. | :38:03. | |
that technology, kids, I just collected little files on my laptop. | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
A very honest representation, when he wrote this down. Were you | :38:07. | :38:12. | |
bothered about what the critics, viewers, anybody like that would | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
say, or are you just thinking that is how it is, I am putting it out | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
there? You have to right from the inside out. A lot of people have | :38:20. | :38:24. | |
said the classic tales should be left, happy ending, leave it there? | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
The thing about a happy ending, as you know, it depends on when you | :38:29. | :38:35. | |
stop. As we know, life moves through waves. No, I really wanted, you | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
know, the people that were the fans of registered were in their 30s when | :38:40. | :38:45. | |
they read it. And now they have grown older. People do grow older. A | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
lovely thing is that Bridget's voice still sounds the same. Somebody that | :38:51. | :38:55. | |
may or may not read this weekend is Richard Curtis. He has a message for | :38:55. | :38:58. | |
may or may not read this weekend is you. I remember you writing the | :38:58. | :39:02. | |
first Richard Jones article. Who would have thought 18 years later it | :39:02. | :39:03. | |
would get you on The One Show? I would have thought 18 years later it | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
remember you meeting Colin Firth for the first time. Who would have | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
thought, 18 years later, you would kill him? I'm trying to decide what | :39:12. | :39:16. | |
classic novel to pick up and read this weekend. I think I'll go for | :39:16. | :39:20. | |
this one. Of course. Of course. Used to do a show called this is | :39:21. | :39:35. | |
your life, with all sorts of unexpected people. Who will come | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
next? We have to ask, because he did the first two films, will there be a | :39:40. | :39:45. | |
third for this one? One of the most thrilling moments was the one day I | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
went to the set come in because I am quite frightened of film sets. I | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
remember seeing Colin Firth who, in my mind, remains completely mixed up | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
with Mr Darcy. I cannot distinguish my mind, remains completely mixed up | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
between them. He was saying, my lines that I have written, for the | :40:02. | :40:10. | |
hybrid mixture of the three men, it was a thrilling and confusing moment | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
at the same time. There are new love interest. There is? There is a | :40:13. | :40:19. | |
younger man. And there is a new hero, and I read somewhere the other | :40:19. | :40:35. | |
day, somebody said no English surname is not improved by putting | :40:35. | :40:39. | |
the word Spanker in front of it. So, I thought I would like to take | :40:39. | :40:50. | |
them, see them take life. We hope to see a third film. Lines are closed | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
for the vote. We give you the results shortly. Don't vote, because | :40:54. | :41:03. | |
you may still be charged. We saw Alex at the beginning of the | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
programme, Bridget Jones's Diary, in her PJs. If you are watching us in | :41:07. | :41:12. | |
your pyjamas, do let us know. We want to see the evidence. Send your | :41:12. | :41:17. | |
picture to the usual address. Why are you laughing, Graham? We will be | :41:17. | :41:23. | |
inundated, you watch. Here is our next instalment of the Mums At Work. | :41:23. | :41:31. | |
Website boss John Salt has brought in the mothers of three employees in | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
an effort to help give them a fresh perspective on their work. It would | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
also give him a new insight into the business. John invited each of them | :41:40. | :41:46. | |
in for what seems very like a school parents evening. For Sheila, it was | :41:46. | :41:51. | |
the first time she had been given her daughter Jill's report card. She | :41:51. | :41:57. | |
is customer care director. When I think about Jill, I have worked with | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
her for a long time, the words I would come off with our open, | :42:00. | :42:06. | |
honest, down-to-earth. That comes from me, I am totally open. What you | :42:06. | :42:12. | |
see is what you get. Less confident communicating to her peer group, | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
people on the same level as her or above her. Managing upwards, you | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
often have to to manage the people you work for. She will learn that. | :42:19. | :42:24. | |
The more experience you get of managing upwards, the easier it | :42:24. | :42:30. | |
gets. I agree. With his comments ringing in her years, today, Sheila | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
gets. I agree. With his comments is sitting in on a presentation by | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
Jill to her team. Can she resist giving her daughter advice? Work out | :42:37. | :42:44. | |
how to use my computer. Contra member my password. How do I move it | :42:44. | :42:49. | |
forward is? -- cannot remember my password. A public speaker on her | :42:49. | :42:54. | |
own right, her 67-year-old mother has managed large teams through her | :42:54. | :43:00. | |
career. I started on the factory floor. I worked my way up to being a | :43:00. | :43:07. | |
shift supervisor. My present role is monitoring and measuring performance | :43:07. | :43:08. | |
for my department. Today, she is monitoring and measuring performance | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
doing her best not to interfere too obviously. Over the next couple of | :43:13. | :43:18. | |
weeks it will make it easier for you as well. Any questions? Have you got | :43:18. | :43:26. | |
any questions, Man? When you first started, I can't remember my | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
password, these lot do not need to know that. It's OK having a little | :43:29. | :43:33. | |
joke with the people you work with. But it could be senior management. | :43:33. | :43:37. | |
And you need to know your audience. It doesn't work every time. Sorry, | :43:37. | :43:45. | |
Man. Reid how long did you have to prepare for this? About five | :43:45. | :43:53. | |
minutes. Would you not know a week before, so why did you not practice | :43:53. | :43:59. | |
it bastion Mark I did write it myself. Sorry. Tough love? Well, | :43:59. | :44:08. | |
here comes the nice bit. When is your next presentation? Tomorrow. | :44:08. | :44:15. | |
Who with? The big bosses. Tonight, we will do a bit of training. We | :44:15. | :44:27. | |
will get it spot on. Thanks, Mum. It is the end of the working day. But | :44:27. | :44:32. | |
not for Jill. With hours to go before her presentation, it is back | :44:32. | :44:39. | |
for home work with Mum. Thanks for coming to the presentation today. I | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
just wanted to talk to you about a project we will be undertaking in | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
October. You look a bit more confident because you are stirred | :44:47. | :44:56. | |
up. It is body language. I am conscious of my arms. If you don't | :44:56. | :45:02. | |
know what to do, hold them together. Looking in error, I am surprised I | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
looked quite confident when I was doing it. I'll try it with a brush, | :45:06. | :45:08. | |
looked quite confident when I was next time. Next week, Jill faces up | :45:08. | :45:14. | |
to the bosses. John reveals home truths about Tory to her mum, | :45:14. | :45:21. | |
Jackie. Can him and get her back on track? And the mums introduce a | :45:21. | :45:28. | |
radical new policy to kick-start the day at work. | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
It seems to work. Have you ever thought about including your mum | :45:33. | :45:45. | |
around The Graham Norton Show? I think it is a good idea because | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
mothers know a lot, they have run households and brought up children. | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
When I am cooking in front of my households and brought up children. | :45:51. | :45:56. | |
mother, she will be quiet, quiet, and then say, is that how you | :45:56. | :46:05. | |
chopped tomatoes? Yes, it is! Maybe it would be easier to take to Radio | :46:05. | :46:11. | |
2. I don't think she would be that keen, she is not showbiz struck at | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
all. I say that now, she will be on the phone! You have just never | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
asked! According to a new report, young people in England and Northern | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
Ireland have some of the worst reading, writing and maths | :46:25. | :46:32. | |
skills... LAUGHTER | :46:32. | :47:11. | |
Queen 's English. If you had walked into a school in the 1960s you might | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
have been utterly baffled by what you saw up on the wall. Somewhat | :47:13. | :47:20. | |
completely unrecognisable. That is because children were being taught | :47:20. | :47:28. | |
ITA, the initial teaching alphabet. Retired school teacher Sue Lloyd | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
used to teach ITA. Every time they Retired school teacher Sue Lloyd | :47:30. | :47:40. | |
see that, this is an oo sound, and this is an a sound. This one looks a | :47:40. | :47:48. | |
bit strange. The N and the GR put together. -- and the G are put | :47:48. | :47:58. | |
together. Every word is made up of the 44 sounds. Devised by Sir James | :47:58. | :48:05. | |
Pitman, the ITA alphabet had 44 symbols covering every sound in the | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
English-language. Jordan would learn to read and write using this | :48:09. | :48:12. | |
alphabet and then move over to our standard alphabet when they were | :48:12. | :48:17. | |
older. This attempt to simplify our complex language also meant | :48:17. | :48:24. | |
eliminating capital letters. The A looks like a tent whereas the lower | :48:24. | :48:30. | |
case character looks like a snake and the bond which the teacher | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
writes on the ward and -- on the board and expects the child to write | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
looks different again. Children quickly took to reading and writing | :48:39. | :48:45. | |
in ITA and outperformed their peers using the conventional of the bed. | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
By 1966, more than a thousand schools were teaching ITA to 100,000 | :48:50. | :48:55. | |
children. One ITA pupil still has his school books. Written in | :48:55. | :49:05. | |
excellent ITA. Here is a house and a rainbow and a racing car track. | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
Rainbow, that is a difficult one. More, good boy. The teacher always | :49:09. | :49:17. | |
wrote back in ITA so you could read the comments. Outside the classroom, | :49:17. | :49:23. | |
ITA remained unfamiliar. Parents struggled with children's schoolwork | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
and only a few book publishers caught on. How would adults there | :49:28. | :49:32. | |
today? We took to Barking to find out. There was a table set out under | :49:32. | :49:38. | |
a tree in front of the house and the March Hare and the hats were having | :49:38. | :49:45. | |
tea at it. A dormouse was sitting between them fast asleep. And the | :49:45. | :49:54. | |
other two were using it as a... Using it as a cushion, resting their | :49:54. | :50:03. | |
elbows on it. And talking over its head. Very uncomfortable for the | :50:03. | :50:11. | |
dormouse, that. For Matt, life after ITA was not easy. The problem came | :50:11. | :50:18. | |
with the transition to actual language and you had a bit of an | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
uphill struggle learning for a second time. I always have problems | :50:24. | :50:30. | |
with words and it has knocked us back by learning a system that | :50:30. | :50:35. | |
wasn't English. The system fell out of favour with teachers and people's | :50:35. | :50:45. | |
alike. -- and pupils alike. We realised that it was perhaps the | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
method of teaching that was not giving the desired results. Sue | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
Lloyd abandoned the unusual symbols but continued to teach children the | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
sounds of the letters, going on to devise Jolly phonics. Now phonics is | :50:56. | :51:01. | |
a key part of the national curriculum. The ITA story with its | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
halfling symbols and letters didn't have a happy ever after ending but | :51:06. | :51:12. | |
the idea of introducing English through sounds wasn't quite as crazy | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
as it looked. It is quite similar to the way we learn the boss alphabet. | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
Did you struggle with that transition? We saw that early on, | :51:24. | :51:36. | |
let's not go back. Lucy is here with the results of the vote. The results | :51:36. | :51:42. | |
are now in and I am pleased to confirm that 57% of you said yes, | :51:42. | :51:46. | |
e-cigarettes should be banned from public places. People thought that | :51:46. | :51:54. | |
e-cigarettes could be a gateway into conventional smoking and that they | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
normalise smoking. We have become quite successful at becoming | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
smoke-free in places. The figures in England were showing that smoking in | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
England was at its lowest level since smoking began, so why fix | :52:06. | :52:16. | |
something that is not broken? Some people felt that e-cigarettes are an | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
regulated and untested so they were not too sure, but it was a very | :52:19. | :52:21. | |
narrow victory. 43% thought they not too sure, but it was a very | :52:21. | :52:29. | |
were harmless and a good substitute for smoking, could help people stop | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
smoking and ultimately save lives. Regardless of what we think, some | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
companies have a ready banned them. Wetherspoon 's, Starbucks and | :52:38. | :52:46. | |
several airlines have said no to vaping, it already has its own verb. | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
Some people will say that if people vaping, it already has its own verb. | :52:49. | :52:55. | |
switched to e-cigarettes, surely the NHS will save billions because there | :52:55. | :53:02. | |
is no tobacco and tar in them. Cancer research say they are almost | :53:02. | :53:07. | |
certainly the safest way to consume nicotine and we have 100,000 people | :53:07. | :53:12. | |
in the UK a year dying from smoking-related illness, so there is | :53:12. | :53:17. | |
a good oddments. But do they need more testing -- there is a good | :53:17. | :53:25. | |
argument? Do we know what they do in the long term? The Commonwealth | :53:25. | :53:30. | |
Games baton has been at Buckingham Palace today. It is about to travel | :53:30. | :53:39. | |
to Glasgow via Heathrow to start its 118,000 mile journey around the | :53:39. | :53:44. | |
Commonwealth. Scotland's first Minister Alex Salmond has kindly | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
agreed to drop in on his way to terminal five. Welcome. I have | :53:47. | :53:57. | |
passed the baton over, good to see you, welcome back. First of all, | :53:57. | :54:03. | |
before we get onto the baton, we have to ask the question on | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
everybody's lips, whether you live in Scotland or not. Should Helen | :54:07. | :54:13. | |
have killed off Mr Darcy? I didn't kill him! Initially I thought, | :54:14. | :54:19. | |
great, and opening for me. Then I thought I cannot compete with Colin | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
Firth. I think, how could you kill of Darcy? We have already asked her. | :54:24. | :54:36. | |
What about your fans? He would never leave so now his memory will live on | :54:36. | :54:44. | |
untarnished. It is about to go on this epic journey. 100,000 miles, 70 | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
countries, setting off from Glasgow tomorrow and doesn't get active | :54:51. | :54:55. | |
Scotland until next June. Mark Beaumont will be guarding it as it | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
goes. There is only one, there is no back-up. It is like Thailand, there | :55:00. | :55:13. | |
is only one -- it is like Highlander. | :55:13. | :55:20. | |
That is the granite you were talking about. It is fabulous. When you | :55:20. | :55:29. | |
watch the golf at Turnberry, every curling stone in the world is made | :55:29. | :55:38. | |
their and the granite gem on top of the Commonwealth baton. And the | :55:38. | :55:48. | |
Queen 's message lit up? You can actually see it. If you hold it to a | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
mirror, you could probably make it out but you're not allowed to until | :55:52. | :55:57. | |
the Queen reads it out next July in Glasgow. Do you know the scene? I | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
think she will say something about opening the games! Is it a message | :56:03. | :56:18. | |
to you? It says, dear Graham. Let's move on, Glasgow will be home to 70 | :56:18. | :56:22. | |
nations and territories. We are sure they are going to be brushing up on | :56:22. | :56:28. | |
Scottish history and additions. What we -- traditions. We want to know, | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
what do you know of the Commonwealth? How deep is your | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
knowledge? I have a Commonwealth knowledge badge. We have gold, | :56:36. | :56:42. | |
silver and bronze questions, gold is the hardest, bronze is the easiest, | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
the answer is always a Commonwealth country. Alex, first. We will go for | :56:46. | :56:57. | |
gold. Your question is this. This country's highest mountain, standing | :56:57. | :57:03. | |
at 8,598 metres is Kanchenjunga. What is the bronze question? It is | :57:03. | :57:11. | |
the Himalayas, it is India. You have got it right, he has got a gold! | :57:11. | :57:19. | |
There you are, congratulations. Your turn, Graham, gold, silver or | :57:19. | :57:27. | |
bronze. Ireland is not in the Commonwealth. I will go with bronze. | :57:27. | :57:41. | |
Which country has a 12 pointed star on its flag and is said to represent | :57:41. | :57:49. | |
the Republic's original plans. It is very small. If you get this, I will | :57:49. | :57:56. | |
be amazed. Why is this a bronze question? You have been slightly | :57:56. | :58:07. | |
stitched, it is Nauru. You have ruined Christmas! | :58:07. | :58:19. | |
Which country has a national Rugby side known as New Zealand. New | :58:19. | :58:27. | |
Zealand, I knew that! I was going to say New Zealand whatever the | :58:27. | :58:34. | |
question was! That was my plan. I was going to give you another option | :58:34. | :58:38. | |
but we haven't got time. We asked you to send us photos... Thank you | :58:38. | :58:43. | |
for coming in. Watching the show in pyjamas. | :58:43. | :58:50. | |
This one with a glass of wine, very Bridget Jones! This one is Tom. This | :58:50. | :59:03. | |
is Margaret from Dundee. Thank you to our guests, lovely to have you, | :59:03. | :59:07. | |
thank you for taking part in The One Show vote. All of our very best with | :59:07. | :59:12. | |
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and Graham is back on Friday night. We | :59:12. | :59:18. | |
will be back doing it all again tomorrow joined by Brendan O | :59:18. | :59:21. |
