:00:23. > :00:30.It's fine, you can't see anything. Hello, and will come to your Friday
:00:30. > :00:34.One Show with Alex Jones. And Chris Evans. It is D-Day for Team
:00:34. > :00:39.Rickshaw. Shortly we will see how our six rickshaw riders hope --
:00:39. > :00:43.coped with the hills of north Wales. We will also be hearing about some
:00:43. > :00:47.of your heroes, with the help of the buglers from the Royal Marines.
:00:47. > :00:52.First, a man who has been lucky enough to meet many of his own
:00:52. > :01:02.personal heroes. And they have been lucky enough to meet him. Sir
:01:02. > :01:05.
:01:05. > :01:15.Michael Parkinson. Good evening, Michael. How are you? Here he is.
:01:15. > :01:17.
:01:17. > :01:21.Nice to see you, Michael. You have obviously interviewed the greats.
:01:21. > :01:25.You are skating on thin ice! You have interviewed all of the greats,
:01:25. > :01:28.but there is a glaring exception. You have not interviewed yourself,
:01:28. > :01:33.so throughout the show tonight, we have some questions that you have
:01:33. > :01:41.asked other people, and we would like you to answer them. Are there
:01:41. > :01:44.any that I asked mega Ryan? No, we lingered on her for a while. The
:01:45. > :01:49.first one is from 1973, interviewing Ingrid Bergman. What
:01:49. > :01:52.is your answer to your question? wonder if you have ever thought
:01:52. > :01:57.about that period in your life when you were so immensely popular and
:01:57. > :02:06.wondered what it was that made you so popular. What was it that made
:02:06. > :02:10.you so popular? Of I really am baffled. It is not easy. Except
:02:10. > :02:13.when you're a beauty and an actress, it must be easier to answer. There
:02:13. > :02:17.must have been a tipping point when you realise you were at the
:02:17. > :02:22.vanguard of what you do for a living. I have always been grateful
:02:22. > :02:25.to be paid to do a job that I love and enjoy it. Who would not enjoy
:02:25. > :02:29.meeting Ingrid Bergman. I fell in love with her in Casablanca when I
:02:29. > :02:35.was about eight, and the thought that I would one day sit next to
:02:35. > :02:43.her and actually flirt with her... Always take advantage. Do you have
:02:43. > :02:50.flirting techniques? Editor of touching knees. You were a big one
:02:50. > :02:55.for touching the is. I get told on Twitter that I am sitting far too
:02:55. > :03:00.close to you. It is comforting. your wife ever give you grief about
:03:00. > :03:07.flirting? Not at all. She is not the jealous type. She is trying to
:03:07. > :03:12.get rid of me! Day one has finally arrived for the One Show's Team
:03:12. > :03:17.Rickshaw and their Children In Need challenge 2012. Lauren, Chiara,
:03:17. > :03:22.James, Darren, Camilla and Jack -- Jamila and Jack set off this
:03:22. > :03:26.morning on the first leg of their 411 mile journey to London. It is
:03:26. > :03:36.not an understatement to say that it has already been hell. Here is
:03:36. > :03:37.
:03:37. > :03:40.At the crack of dawn, Team Rickshaw were ready to set off on their
:03:41. > :03:47.marathon 411 mile journey from North Wales to London. Looking
:03:47. > :03:53.forward to it. It is exciting. The challenge starts today. See you
:03:53. > :04:00.later. Goodbye. It was James from Kent who was first on the pedals.
:04:00. > :04:05.Before you know it, it will be one mile down and only 410 miles to go.
:04:05. > :04:14.Do you know the way? The plan was for them to cycles 51 Prince five
:04:14. > :04:20.miles from land a note to Dolgellau. The -- from Llandudno to Dolgellau.
:04:20. > :04:27.At the first corner, we got a fiver. It is all for you. Already feeling
:04:27. > :04:36.the heat, James attempted to cool down. But then, luckily, a downhill
:04:36. > :04:42.stretch. Look at this. This is a beauty. Lots of people, a lot of
:04:42. > :04:50.support, which is nice. Didn't surprise you? How nice is it when
:04:50. > :04:54.people go past and took their horn. It is nice to know they are there.
:04:54. > :05:03.At the first changeover, Jamila was away, but it became an uphill
:05:03. > :05:10.struggle. It is a bit hard. Try to relax and just keep going. There is
:05:10. > :05:17.a bit of pain in my right knee. It is sort of in my joint. She was in
:05:17. > :05:23.trouble but persisted in completing her leg of the round. Pedal to me.
:05:24. > :05:33.Yes! We are at the top. You have done it. Superb. Seem rickshaw. Are
:05:34. > :05:34.
:05:34. > :05:38.we ready for this? Here we go. He is off. Cieron, who suffers from
:05:38. > :05:46.cerebral palsy, surprised everyone by going a fastest. I am surprised
:05:46. > :05:51.at the pace. Am I going too fast? Because of Darren Dods no
:05:51. > :05:57.difficulty with his sight, I am in front with this high-visibility
:05:57. > :06:03.jacket so that he can see me. fluorescent Pudsey in front of me.
:06:03. > :06:09.But then the rain and the wind set in, but they did not deter Lauren
:06:09. > :06:15.in any way. I am trying to get some pace going. They are cheering for
:06:15. > :06:19.you. Everything is amazing, just being with the team. Despite the
:06:19. > :06:25.weather, Jack battled on, with James returning to cycle in what
:06:25. > :06:29.was soon apparent were worsening conditions. This is so unfair. The
:06:29. > :06:34.weather is just ridiculous. The wind in his face, the rain is
:06:34. > :06:38.coming down. But you know what, he has done it. If you want to show
:06:38. > :06:48.your support, you don't even have to get on a bike. Although you have
:06:48. > :06:48.
:06:48. > :06:52.to do is to text. There was real rain and wind. Please text. We will
:06:52. > :06:58.go live to see them cross the finish line later. They have
:06:58. > :07:03.arrived, which is good. This is the latest progress report.
:07:04. > :07:09.We have been travelling at an average pace of about 4.5 mph. We
:07:09. > :07:13.have 15 miles to go and exactly three hours to do it in, so you can
:07:13. > :07:17.work out for yourselves how tight this is going to be if we want to
:07:17. > :07:24.get there for 7 o'clock. But Team Rickshaw are digging deep and we
:07:24. > :07:29.will do everything we can to get there. Come on, Jamila.
:07:29. > :07:35.We have blown that because we have already said they had arrived.
:07:35. > :07:39.know! I got the script for the wrong way round. It happens.
:07:39. > :07:43.the time. Of course, they are only putting themselves through this for
:07:43. > :07:47.your donations so that others can benefit from Children in Need Choir
:07:47. > :07:57.like they have in the past. Let's see the total you have raised so
:07:57. > :07:59.
:07:59. > :08:03.More of that to come. Brilliant. Thank you so much for your
:08:03. > :08:09.donations. Let's try and get over the quarter million mark tonight.
:08:09. > :08:19.Would you mind telling the viewers how to donate? To show your
:08:19. > :08:38.
:08:38. > :08:48.Carry on! Get some music on! can also donate any amount by
:08:48. > :08:54.
:08:54. > :09:00.That is all we have time for tonight... Not really. Michael, you
:09:00. > :09:05.are back with another interview show. Did you ask them? They asked
:09:05. > :09:09.me. They wanted an interview show. I have wanted for a long time to do
:09:09. > :09:14.something called Masterclass, with people who are very good at what
:09:14. > :09:18.they do. Oscar Peterson was on my show in 19 some degree, a jazz
:09:18. > :09:24.pianist. There was a break in transmission and I sat down next to
:09:24. > :09:27.him and he started playing a piano, and 20 minutes later I had the most
:09:27. > :09:31.wonderful exposition, playing and talking about what piano jazz was
:09:31. > :09:35.about. I came off and I said, one day I will do a show called
:09:35. > :09:40.Masterclass, talking to people like him, who are maybe the best at what
:09:40. > :09:47.they do, talking and demonstrating why they are so good. It takes its
:09:47. > :09:51.time, it is a gentle programme, one hour. Exactly, so we can explore a
:09:51. > :09:56.Jamie Cullum playing piano, as well as talking to him. I can explore a
:09:56. > :10:03.portrait painter painting me and talking at the same time. We do a
:10:03. > :10:05.similar job, portrait painters and me. And also, a couple of people I
:10:05. > :10:09.have interviewed, like Carlos Acosta, the great Cuban Ballet
:10:09. > :10:13.dancer and Lang Lang, the Chinese pianist, they have come from the
:10:13. > :10:18.kind of background, the kind of poverty that we cannot even imagine
:10:18. > :10:23.in this country. So they are inspiring stories. There was a
:10:23. > :10:28.great story Carlos Acosta told you about the food that he used to eat.
:10:28. > :10:32.He said basically he came home one day and he had a sniff and said,
:10:32. > :10:42.What is that wonderful smell? And she said, have cooked your pet
:10:42. > :10:49.rabbit. It has become folklore. I was Philip Schofield, I would
:10:49. > :10:54.tweet a picture now. This is on Sky Arts. On Tuesday, a brand new
:10:54. > :10:58.series. You have so many varied guests on the show, what was the
:10:58. > :11:02.criteria when putting the list together? People who are very good
:11:02. > :11:06.at what they do and who might be able to demonstrate. Carlos Acosta
:11:06. > :11:11.dancers on the show. He is like a beautiful animal, extraordinary,
:11:11. > :11:15.the fitness. Lang Lang and Jamie Cullum playing piano. And also, I
:11:15. > :11:19.did somebody I have known for a long time, Don McCullen, a war
:11:19. > :11:27.photographer. Having covered wars myself and being very frightened
:11:27. > :11:31.when I have done it, I have all of a sudden -- I have always admired
:11:31. > :11:34.those people who choose to go to war. But when you look at the
:11:35. > :11:39.images that he has taken, and you think of the time he spent getting
:11:39. > :11:43.that picture and the risk he took, you begin to imagine what kind of
:11:43. > :11:49.life he must have, the memories that haunt him and live with him.
:11:49. > :11:53.It is a kind of powerful piece, that. It really is. But overall
:11:53. > :11:57.what it does, it actually shows to young people watching, to anybody
:11:57. > :12:03.watching, that there is no easy way to success and greatness. No matter
:12:03. > :12:06.how talented you are, you have to work hard. Nowadays, a lot of young
:12:06. > :12:10.people are persuaded by television particularly that the way to the
:12:10. > :12:14.golden pot is by walking up the back of the stairs on a TV reality
:12:14. > :12:19.show and coming down the other side, and they have made it. It is not
:12:19. > :12:24.like that at all. I think they are realising that now. It has taken a
:12:24. > :12:31.few years. Parkinson: Masterclass starts on Tuesday at 9pm on Sky
:12:31. > :12:35.Arts. Time for another question to Parkinson from Parkinson. This one
:12:35. > :12:41.is you from 1970 for asking questions to David Frost. What is
:12:41. > :12:51.your answer to the question? What are the areas that you would care
:12:51. > :12:56.not to be asked about? Straight on to that. Sex, drugs and rock'n'roll.
:12:56. > :13:04.Would that be it? I don't like talking about myself, basically.
:13:04. > :13:10.noticed that on the first question. I get slightly embarrassed by it. I
:13:10. > :13:14.am better at asking questions. will take any tips this evening.
:13:14. > :13:17.Every year, up an army of volunteers give away thousands of
:13:17. > :13:21.books to try to get people to fall in love with literature, and from
:13:21. > :13:31.today you can put your name down to be one of those. We asked Angellica
:13:31. > :13:32.
:13:32. > :13:39.Edinburgh, UNESCO City of Literature. And for one day only,
:13:39. > :13:42.home to me. I am here to launch World Book Night 2013. They need
:13:42. > :13:46.20,000 volunteers to give away half a million books. There are 20
:13:46. > :13:50.titles on this year's list, and I have 100 books to give away. I
:13:50. > :13:55.think I will need some help. Who better than a man who has written
:13:55. > :13:59.extensively about Edinburgh, Alexander McCall Smith? Alexander
:13:59. > :14:04.is also the author of the number- one Ladies' Detective Agency, a
:14:04. > :14:13.series of books that have been translated into 46 languages and
:14:13. > :14:17.made into a TV series. What was taken? Sure news. Three issues?
:14:17. > :14:23.Alexander, tell us what World Book Night is about. It is a wonderful
:14:23. > :14:27.occasion in which a lot of people give away a great many books.
:14:27. > :14:31.The general idea is to focus on people who otherwise may not have
:14:31. > :14:36.many books in their lives, but who would appreciate them. Reading is
:14:36. > :14:45.tremendously important, because it encourages the growth of moral
:14:45. > :14:55.imagination. It enlivens the world. Good morning. We have a book for
:14:55. > :15:00.you. Philippa Gregory is a novelist. It is a free book. "my father had a
:15:00. > :15:07.face that could stop a clock". don't you like reading? It is
:15:07. > :15:14.boring. Here is a book that I wrote. Listen to the first sentence. "she
:15:14. > :15:18.had a detective agency in Africa". Are you gripped?
:15:18. > :15:24.This is the lady with pearl earrings. Are you selling lots of
:15:24. > :15:28.April earrings? Let me read. Only my mother would know from the
:15:28. > :15:33.tightening of my jaw on the widening of my eyes. How is that
:15:33. > :15:39.for a beginning? Every day at 1 o'clock precisely, a cannon is
:15:39. > :15:43.fired from Edinburgh Castle. It has been going since 1861, and Ali is
:15:43. > :15:48.the first woman ever to hold the post. Since you are a serving
:15:48. > :15:55.soldier, we have a book here from Andy McNabb. I have read a lot of
:15:55. > :16:00.his books and I enjoyed them. I know many people Mike Sergeant
:16:00. > :16:04.Mackenzie. One of the reasons for World Book Night is the getting
:16:04. > :16:09.literature into communities with little access to it. My last trip
:16:09. > :16:15.is to meet Kevin and Gary, part of the city's homeless community. How
:16:15. > :16:21.do you feel when you read? I just get engrossed. It is escapism.
:16:21. > :16:25.do you think would be good? don't you take three? A little
:16:25. > :16:35.birdie tells me that you love reading. By do, yes. I have read a
:16:35. > :16:36.
:16:36. > :16:40.lot of Jackie Collins' books. how about Ian Fleming? James Bond.
:16:40. > :16:45.If you want to get your hands on some three books to give out in
:16:45. > :16:49.your community, log on to The One Show website for all the
:16:49. > :16:54.information on how to volunteer for World Book Night 2013.
:16:54. > :17:00.We have all got more books than we need it. Do you have a library,
:17:00. > :17:05.Michael? I sense you have a library at home. He has got a library!
:17:05. > :17:15.was reared on books. DVD libraries are a feature in people's lives now.
:17:15. > :17:19.And you have a new DVD out? I do indeed. It is the people who have
:17:19. > :17:25.been on the show at most times, like Spike Milligan. We have picked
:17:25. > :17:31.20 people who were a constant on the show. We have given them 20
:17:31. > :17:36.minutes each. Let's get on to more of those questions. The last
:17:36. > :17:44.question from Michael to Michael. This is one You asked Michael Caine
:17:44. > :17:49.in 2003. Are you are older and wiser? Blew the two go together?
:17:49. > :17:56.I could talk at length about this. Yes, I am older and sillier. I must
:17:56. > :18:01.be daft to keep working at my age. Do you feel wiser? Yes. I feel a
:18:01. > :18:05.lot more certain in many areas. I was always very shy, which sounds
:18:05. > :18:09.strange to say. For the first five years of doing the talk show, I
:18:10. > :18:13.could barely walk down the stairs. I would have liked to have walked
:18:13. > :18:18.down backwards. But I have grown into myself through doing
:18:18. > :18:25.television and getting used to being in public. It is not a wise
:18:25. > :18:29.thing, but a satisfying thing. have accepted yourself. E is in
:18:29. > :18:37.your own skin. Parky's Picks, the DVD, is out on 26th November.
:18:37. > :18:41.And now, let's go to Matt in Dolgellau. How are you? Yes, we are
:18:42. > :18:47.here. We made it, and that is the main thing. What an incredible day
:18:47. > :18:54.we have had. There are so many stories. It has been a phenomenal
:18:54. > :18:59.effort from all of Team Rickshaw! We are going to have a chat with
:18:59. > :19:04.Jamila first. You don't spend an enormous time in the countryside,
:19:04. > :19:09.do you? No, I don't. I live in London, so you don't get much
:19:09. > :19:16.country said. Talk me through those views from the top. You didn't see
:19:16. > :19:22.much of them? No. I was at the top of a hill, and I don't like heights,
:19:22. > :19:26.so it was frightening. You did incredibly well. We were lagging
:19:26. > :19:35.behind a bit earlier, until the rickshaw rocket known as Jack comes
:19:35. > :19:41.on board. He was clocked going down a hill from 1200 ft above sea level
:19:41. > :19:47.and 27 miles an hour! How did you manage that? I have no idea. It was
:19:47. > :19:51.that sheer rush of adrenalin. Just stick my head down, get going.
:19:51. > :19:56.Talking of pushing to the end, from the beginning, it was the story of
:19:56. > :20:01.James. We have to give him a cheer, because he is coming up the hill
:20:02. > :20:10.now. This lad has just blown everybody away. His sheer
:20:10. > :20:14.determination. He set off first thing this morning. Going up the
:20:14. > :20:23.Crimean pass was something that even took me by surprise. It was
:20:23. > :20:28.unbelievable. How does it feel? is pretty good. It is nice to have
:20:28. > :20:34.all the support. You got up that Crimean pass. What technique did
:20:34. > :20:40.you use? I just thought, keep moving. Keep my legs pedalling. I
:20:40. > :20:47.just set myself little targets. I will get there, then I will get
:20:47. > :20:52.there. Kept going up. It was mightily impressive. Jamila, have
:20:52. > :21:02.you got the present Andy? You are going to love this, James. You have
:21:02. > :21:03.
:21:03. > :21:06.to wear it all tomorrow. Team Rickshaw! Gather round, because
:21:06. > :21:11.this is what is happening tomorrow. Because you three have done
:21:11. > :21:21.brilliantly, you will have a lie-in. First on the ritual tomorrow is
:21:21. > :21:22.
:21:22. > :21:29.Cieron. Then it is Lauren. Pleased with that? Yeah. Finally, Darren,
:21:29. > :21:36.you will do two hours tomorrow. This is the route. It is 58 miles
:21:36. > :21:42.on Saturday. Sunday is 53 miles, and Monday, 51 miles. How many did
:21:42. > :21:46.we did today? Today you did 52. That is it from Dolgellau. Tomorrow,
:21:46. > :21:51.we are heading to Lamberto! De One Show will be coming live
:21:51. > :21:56.from the route next week. As well as Cardiff Castle on Monday, if you
:21:56. > :21:59.can get to Milsom Street in Bath on Tuesday, Salisbury Martyr Square on
:21:59. > :22:03.Wednesday and the Oracle shopping centre in Reading on Thursday,
:22:03. > :22:11.please get down there. Details of on the web site. If you do come
:22:11. > :22:14.along and take photos anywhere along the ridge, send them in to us.
:22:14. > :22:18.This Sunday is of course Remembrance Day, and after the
:22:18. > :22:21.country has observed the two-minute silence, the Royal Marines will
:22:21. > :22:31.play The Last Post. Joe Crowley has unearthed the
:22:31. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:52.history behind this haunting tune, When you hear The Last Post, that
:22:52. > :22:55.moment of the first note, you begin to summon all the souls back to the
:22:56. > :23:05.Cenotaph, and we feel all of their deeds and we honour them at one
:23:05. > :23:15.moment. You think of all the lads that have been before, and a
:23:15. > :23:22.
:23:22. > :23:25.I have come here to the Royal Military School of Music, where the
:23:25. > :23:29.British Army trained their musicians to find out more about
:23:29. > :23:36.the origins of this amusing -- moving memorial and the role it
:23:36. > :23:39.played in the history of the armed forces. It comes from a series of
:23:39. > :23:44.calls that signify different points in the daytime in camp, so soldiers
:23:44. > :23:49.knew what to do throughout the day. It started off with the valley, we
:23:49. > :23:54.got out of bed, and finished with The Last Post. Before people had
:23:54. > :23:58.watches, it formatted their day. At the end of the day, the officer
:23:58. > :24:02.would do with the first post. He would go round them all, and by the
:24:02. > :24:06.time he got to The Last Post, that was when The Last Post would be
:24:06. > :24:11.sounded. It meant nothing else would happened that night. There
:24:11. > :24:14.are records of pupils being played at military funerals in the 1880s
:24:14. > :24:19.to signify the end of a life. It is believed that The Last Post was
:24:19. > :24:23.played for the first time at the Cenotaph in 1920, at the internment
:24:23. > :24:27.of the Unknown soldier. Maurice Green's grandfather Daniel played
:24:27. > :24:33.bugle in the army, and served in the eighth Battalion York and
:24:33. > :24:40.Lancaster Regiment. My grandfather got killed on the first day of the
:24:40. > :24:44.Battle of the Somme, 1916. 703 men went over, 68 came back. While
:24:44. > :24:50.searching for military memorabilia in a local market, Maurice found
:24:50. > :24:56.something that brought him much closer to his grandfather. At a
:24:56. > :25:00.stall in Rotherham, they sold army badges and metals, stuff like that.
:25:00. > :25:06.There was this old pupil, and I reached over and pick it up. And
:25:06. > :25:12.immediately, I felt queer. So you took this bugle home and started
:25:12. > :25:18.cleaning it up. What did you discover? I saw what I thought were
:25:18. > :25:27.my grandfather's first degree army numbers. Lo and behold, that number
:25:27. > :25:36.was on my grandad's medals. When you matched those up, how did that
:25:36. > :25:46.feel? Like a miracle. I feel as though I want to cry a bit. The
:25:46. > :25:49.
:25:49. > :25:53.bugle has been found, but he hasn't. No other piece of music means so
:25:53. > :25:57.much to so many people, and carries with it such emotional significance.
:25:57. > :26:02.When those notes punctuate the air, it really makes the hairs on the
:26:02. > :26:06.back of the neck stand. And when it is played, it means we can never
:26:06. > :26:16.forget those, like Maurice's grandfather, who have given their
:26:16. > :26:24.
:26:24. > :26:29.And soon, we will hear The Last Post again, this time exactly as it
:26:29. > :26:36.will be played on Remembrance Sunday by the 12 buglers of the
:26:36. > :26:40.band of her Majesty's Royal Marines, Portsmouth.
:26:40. > :26:45.Earlier in the week, we asked for your family's war heroes, and we
:26:45. > :26:51.had an amazing response. Here are a few of the thousands we received.
:26:51. > :26:57.All of them poignant, all touching. We have highlighted three lovely
:26:57. > :27:02.pictures and stories here. Tony and Sandra Lewis sent in this photo of
:27:02. > :27:05.their son, Conrad James Lewis, killed in action in Afghanistan
:27:05. > :27:12.last February, serving with the third Battalion Parachute Regiment.
:27:12. > :27:17.He was awarded a posthumous Medal for his periphery. They say they
:27:17. > :27:23.miss him every day, but a proud and humbled by his bravery and
:27:23. > :27:27.dedication. We have got another one here. Andrew sent this in. It is
:27:27. > :27:31.his father, Eric, of the sixth Airborne Division of the Parachute
:27:31. > :27:36.Regiment, receiving a military medal from no other person than
:27:36. > :27:38.Monty himself for bravery in the field. He won it when he was 19
:27:38. > :27:46.after being caught behind enemy lines in Belgium and fighting his
:27:46. > :27:51.way back to his unit. This is from George Walsh, a photo of his father,
:27:51. > :27:56.also called George. He was on an Atlantic convoy with nothing more
:27:56. > :28:01.than a duffel coat and a balaclava. Hats off to all those guys and
:28:01. > :28:06.girls. Remember a Remembrance Day this weekend. Thanks to Michael
:28:06. > :28:10.Parkinson for being here. Parkinson: Masterclass starts at
