10/07/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

We've got some impressive guests tonight.

Seven years ago we met this chap, Kieron Williamson, who had just

Now he's 14 and selling paintings for over ?50,000.

And on our sofa is a man who has also dabbled in fine art,

As well as starring in Our Friends In The North,

Doctor Who and the A-Word, he's done a stint of nude modelling.

It's - thankfully fully clothed - Christopher Eccleston.

Obviously because viewers would expect it, we did intense research

to see if we could find one of the pictures. But unfortunately, it was

a fail. It was at the Slade School of fine art.

If anyone at home can help us please feel free to send one along

to our usual address, we'd love to show it.

What are your memories of those times? Cold! That would be the first

memory! Liberating? It was, slightly. Also could be quite hard

on the ego because artists can be quite critical about the physical

form. They would say things like see how he is fat and thin there. So

ritual humiliation. I used to go straight to the pub once I'd got the

money. Well we will see what we get in, it could be gold.

Last time you were here, Chris, we spoke about your mum selling

pastries in the stands at Old Trafford.

That's right, she used to sell pies and T in the 50s when the Busby

Babes were there. So we hope she's

watching this next film. Kev Duala has been back to Liverpool

to see how match day pies are helping to solve

an affordable housing crisis. In the shadow of Liverpool football

ground rov derelict terraced houses and at the end of thriving bakery

run by and for the community. Home-baked, the a match day fixture.

I never really ate pies before but we found this place and I was sold.

I like the idea that helping the community. The staff are lovely and

you get to know a lot of people who come in regularly. Seven years ago

this bakery was scheduled for demolition and was shut down. But it

flickered back into life by the skin of its teeth through the

stubbornness and resilience of local people. Bridget is co-funder. I have

to try one of these. Go for it. It is lovely. This is a story of brick

and determination. Where did it start? There was a lot of demolition

happening in our area and as a group of residents we came together and

decided to open the bakery as a community business and managed to

save it from demolition. How did you get the council to give you that

reprieve? Baby by showing that it could be a viable business.

Originally supported by grants, it now thrives on its products and

wants to convince the council that it can expand. We have a flat above

the bakery and were now refurbishing that. With affordable housing in

short supply across the UK this business wants to turn the terrorist

into shops and plans for the community for that they've already

secured ?140,000 of lottery money to create a home out of this. My

goodness! You have your work cut out. And the refurbishment will be a

training project for three local apprentices, men poured by Paul. As

you can see there is a lot to do, roofs, ceilings, floors, plumbing

and electricity, everything. And once more after apprentices Dave,

Bradley and Leanne, will have the option of renting a room. It is

their own version of social housing. We've been learning from the

builders and then we may be get to put that into practice. How

important is it for you to be involved? Very much, because I would

like to live here and it is giving back to the community. It does not

stop there, they're also transforming a patch of land at the

end of the terraced into a public square, building their own joinery

classroom and greenhouse to grow food for local people. But it is

affordable homes that the heart of this, only 28,000 funded by the

government were completed last year. Down by half from 2011. With the

huge housing crisis across the UK, what you're doing could be of help?

I think it can. Over there we have houses just like those next to the

bakery and they had been pulled down and what has been built now at the

profit goes to private developers. We are offering to build houses by

people and for people and the profit stays within the organisation and is

reinvested in the neighbourhood. The benefits to the residents are plain

to see. Sue Humphreys helped to set up the project. Her family have

lived here for 100 years and she is seen first-hand the fabric of the

community decline. It is sad to see the property is boarded up and left,

something had to be done. Could this be a turning point to rejuvenate

this community spirit? Yes, we're somewhere where the community can be

together and rebuild that community. Make friends with your neighbours.

Home-baked is one of several projects regenerating rundown parts

of Liverpool including selling homes for ?1. And the council is waiting

for it to succeed. This is the deputy mayor. It is not about the

council telling community is what should happen, it is about community

is being fully engaged and their ideas coming forward, there are

initiatives and passion driving these agendas. If the project

flourish as it could be rolled out elsewhere. I'm born and bred in

Liverpool and grew up in a really strong community. But what has been

sad to watch is how the communities have been eroded. But what is great

to see is what this company have done to rekindle that community

spirit. And if they can do it may be other parts of the country can as

well. Financial journalist

Simon Read joins us now. As Kev said at the end of the film,

can this happen elsewhere? Could this help with the housing

crisis is right it is happening all over the country, communities

getting involved to create this kind of projects to bring back affordable

housing to the local community. Great to see Right On The Money back

on our screens this morning. It's hosted by Dom Littlewood

and Denise Lewis. You of course are an expert

on the show, giving us tips What kind of stories do

you come across this series? Well all kinds of people. We have

sisters from London who started up a street food market. They're not

making a lot of money. And one woman... They are too generous. The

portions too big! A woman from Liverpool, the biggest financial

problem is that she's too generous. And we met Nicky who just spends

when she feels like it. And Nicky has lots of things beneath her

stairs. Let's take a look. What is all this? Tea bag. How many,

millions! 1100. Nicky looks like she is going into World War II with all

those supplies underneath the stairs.

Something you look at in the series is the idea of the sharing economy,

where people make money out of renting things they already own.

And we've got some people in the audience tonight

Leticia, this is a picture of your house. It is upside down! What is it

that you are renting? I rent out my drive space. I have three spaces, it

is all done online and it has been a great moneyspinner for me. How much

do you make per month? Roughly ?200. Not to be sniffed at. And Vicky,

let's take a look. Is that your garden? A section of the garden up

in Norfolk and we rent it out for camping. Self-catering accommodation

for up to four people. So how much do you make per month? Around ?1000

in peak season. The summer months. This is a really good game show! And

Daisy at the end, I love this concept. This is shared and

breakfast which we run in Bristol from the garden. It is shared that

we lived in when we were renovating and now we'll run it as a bed and

breakfast. How much to make per month? ?1400! Anyone with a

shared... You have had some thoughts of what to do with your place? Yes,

I heard about this scheme, people making their homes into art

galleries. One of my closest friends is an artist. I keep trying to

convince her to do an exhibition and so I'm going to do it in my house.

It is a great idea. And theatre groups are doing the same thing,

using people's homes. For me it is not really for the money but the

interest, and my children being around art. I'm still thinking about

that bed-and-breakfast, genius! You're going to inspire the nation!

Thank you all for joining us and thank you Simon.

Right on the money is on BBC1 at nine fifteen every morning

It's been a special day at Wimbledon as we've seen all 64

players left in the singles competition play today.

And of course congratulations to Johanna Konta and Andy Murray

who made it through to the next round.

As well as their impeccable racquet-work -

there's another kind of racquet you can hear on court.

Tommy's been to see if grunting equals greatness.

Last year almost 500,000 people came down to Wimbledon and sat mesmerised

by a little yellow ball. Waiting patiently for the winning point.

While today the wait is over. And here they come. And I have something

that they have dubbed a secret weapon. Meet Jordan, research at the

University of Sussex. He says he can predict the winner of a much longer

for the last game. Unsurprisingly it all comes down to grunting. Some say

grunting is a bit annoying. Others say it is part of the passionate

five tennis but it can predict a winner? That is right, we did

research at the University of Sussex and looking at players across

matches that they had won and lost. We found in general the pitch of the

grant is higher when the players lose them when they win. So then

surely with a lower grade you're guaranteed to be a winner? Exactly.

We found this right from the start of the match suggesting it is longer

term factors at play, rankings, these things could affect how

stressed or dominant we're feeling. And that can -- that can affect the

pitch of the voice. Is it like an animal thing? Mail Red Deer war

adage other and use that to assess the size of the other. So we see the

same thing happening with humans. Let's put it to the test. How do you

feel about grunting on court? It is a bit weird. It is a bit disturbing.

It just shows they're putting in an effort. I play tennis and I do not

grant. Not even a little noise when you're giving it everything? Let's

do a family effort! That for me is a winning round. Do you grant in any

situation? Only when Federer loses the point. Time to put the theory to

the test. Here at the third round of the women's singles. Hill is going

to win? -- who was going to win. If I had to pick someone it would be

Diaz. Based on the grunting. The louder that your grunting and the

deeper, the more likely you are to win. Let's hear it from you. That is

more like it. She just lost the point. She did. So

does grunting serve up the aces question mark is match point back on

court 18. He did not get it right this time, but if you're listening,

Andy, probably worth a shot! Now we're going to know which tennis

players have watched this show because all the Test matches, the

pitch is going to get lower. Chris, we've been watching some

of your stuff, and you too can be Yes, but the question is,

can you guess your grunt? We've got three grunts to listen

to and one of them is yours. The other two belong

to tennis players, you have My right to say that you have

enhanced my grunt? No. It is definitely not number three.

It's number two. He goes straight for it. Let's have a go. Number two?

You say that that is you? Let's have a look. It was number two!

APPLAUSE I would recognise my grunt anywhere!

That leads us nicely to The Leftovers. You grunt them because

your character is attacked. Series three is out now

on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV - to take us back to the beginning,

it's about on life on earth Phil us in for those people who have

not seen the first and second series. It's originally from a

novel, and it put forward the idea that I think, 2%, I've forgotten, 2%

of the population of the world disappear on the same day. Some

people claim it is the Rapture, as proper sized in the Bible and some

people including my character, a man of God who feels he has not been

chosen by God, deny that. That is why my character gets beaten so much

because he is trying to discredit people who have apparently been

chosen. So it is about faith but also is a character driven comedy

drama. It is about something that we all experience, loss. It is about

grief. The novelist wrote it, he was playing tennis one day with his son,

the phone rang and he got the news that one of his parents had died. It

was a beautiful summer day, she was happy, there had been a road

accident, I know this sounds grim but three years later he found

himself writing this novel, three years later he realised he was

writing The Leftovers about his own experiences. He spent a lot of time

with characters trying to make sense of life. The character you play in

the novel was relatively small but you have played some part in

developing him. I was tipped off that HBO were going to adapt the

novel. I had read it and there was this character, a man of God, who

isn't "Chosen". I thought that was a fantastic character for a drama. The

writer, who wrote Lost, he also wrote The Leftovers. He heard I was

interested and we met in London. He said, I wasn't going to put this

character in this series, why do you want to play him. And he put him in

the show. And it has really worked, in a way for me. Open some doors in

America for me. Let's see a moment from the first

episode of the new series where your character

is delivering a sermon. I get a feeling in this place

sometimes, the same feeling I got when my wife awoke from a

three-year, the day that I brought her here. Mary. The same feeling I

had after being told by countless doctors that Mary could not bear a

child. But she did bear one here. Noah is a little shy, like his dad.

My friends, I've got that feeling again so if something happens on

October 14, you have all come to the right place.

APPLAUSE We will leave it there as a teaser

for everyone to enjoy because you have been incredibly busy. You have

finished filming another series of The A-Word which is a passion of

yours. BBC One show. It is brilliant, when is it back on. We

think it will broadcast in October, we wrapped on Saturday and everyone

is still hungover from the party. It is incredibly emotive. Yes, the

central idea is communication, autism being a problem, the writer

has made it a reality, as is dementia, those two things are real

for families and families get on with it. They do not break down,

they get stronger because of problems like the ones experienced

by the boy in The A-Word. It is beautiful, I am so glad it is back.

Shortly we're going to meet Kieron Williamson, the 14-year-old

artist from Norfolk who has already become a millionaire by painting

Before that Miranda's been to see a rare view,

one that's so unique it can only be seen once every quarter century.

Built in the nearly 19th-century for 200 years the Regents Canal has

played a big part in linking London to the major industrial cities of

the law. In its heyday the canal was strictly for business use but any

one can enjoy these days and that means keeping the system in tiptop

order. I am on my way to St Pancras Blocked just behind the railway

station by a massive operation is underway. -- lock. Thousands of

gallons of water are currently being pumped out. For the first time in 25

years this part of the canal is being drained, in order to replace

its enormous gates. This is no easy task and each gateway is three and a

half tonnes. It needs the lock to be dry before they can be removed. The

1500 locks to maintain the canal and River trust are kept constantly

busy. Sarah Burns works for the trust. Welcome to St Pancras lockers

you have never seen it before. It is beautiful, all this Victorian

brickwork. This is the original brickwork put him in 1819 when the

lock was built and it has been under water for 200 years, which has acted

as a good preservative. Overtime water destroys the timber on the

gates which is why every 25 years they need replacing. Each is

made-to-measure as doing the initial construction there were no standard

dimensions for canals and locks. They are on that boat and they will

be put in once these have been taken out. Before this happens they must

remove any debris collected over the years. What sort of things do you

normally find? We always find lots of mobile phones and cameras and

things like that but sometimes you find some unusual items. Previous

clean-up operations have included saves, guns and even wartime

explosives so there is no way of knowing what is in here until it is

examined thoroughly. Do we literally just go through and get our hands

dirty and see what we can find? All right. Joined by a team of engineers

we surged to the right to see if they wouldn't find is. Gold, silver

at least! So far all I have recovered is rubbish. Sarah however

seems to be having more luck. The milk bottle or something? Beautiful.

Very thick. United States. United dairies was formed during the First

World War when the several smaller companies merged, supplying bottled

milk to the doorsteps of London. And if you look hard enough there are

other treasures found. Graham Smith is the site manager. What is that? A

British rail button from and to Nick. Polished up that would be

stunning. -- from a tunic. It probably dates back to the 1950s

when British Railways as it was known then had been nationalised

after World War II. An old Victorian coiner. 8099, brilliant. So there's

a bit of treasure out there. Absolutely. Once the lock is cleared

only one thing left to do, attach the new gates. A large crane is used

to remove the old ones and with the new ones into position. -- move the

new ones into position. And when the water level is restored the canal is

back to being operational once more. Despite not uncovering any gold or

silver today we have unearthed some treasures, we had access to this

incredible piece of history which has stood the test of time and I

hope it will be in use for another 200 years to come. A nice bath after

that, I think. Definitely. Before we meet our next guest,

let's remind ourselves of when Carrie Grant

met him back in 2010 when he was just eight years old.

when did you start getting into art. When I was five years old. I like

painting boats, harbours, landscapes, water. How do you do

this so quickly? I know what I'm doing! I do know what that he does

know what he's doing. This is Kieron with his mum, Michelle.

What did you think when you saw yourself just then! We have been

astounded by some of your pieces. You were saying, Matt, cows... Cows

and horses and dogs are incredibly difficult. I enjoy painting myself

that it is just beautiful the way... The light and the tone you've got in

these pictures. That one is beautiful. Thank you. Can you

believe, Christopher, that this one in the middle, Kieron painted

that... When I was five, I think. Five years old. Incredible.

Impressionist. When you look at that which you did when you were five how

do you feel about that work. You've got to give yourself credit at five,

surely. No! OK. Parents will be thinking look at what their

five-year-old draws in school and they love it that this is different.

This has become a family affair. You and your husband are committed to

working with Kieron and with your daughter. How does it work as a

family. It is a full time job. Kieron's artwork dictates family

life. Kieron will decide what he does from day-to-day, we plan our

year around the exhibition, we spend as much time as we can in Cornwall.

Kieron comes first. He has been in the driving seat since he was five.

Coders school fit into this. I'm home-schooled, a retired head

teacher teaches me for four hours every week, and I work on what she

says during the week. Is that a bit of a break. Some days I look forward

to getting stuck into homework! We said on the way that you have made

an incredible amount of money doing this, what happens with all of that

because you are only 14. How does that work, Michelle. We run as a

limited company with a team of solicitors and accountants that

support us. Keith and I can invest Kieron's money into things he wants

to invest in so he has property and his own art collection. With the

money you get to your Art Dubai and other art... It is a big passion.

Which one of these is your favourite. The one in the middle. As

Christopher said, the light on that is beautiful. A beach scene in

Cornwall. Well if, like Kieron and his family,

you have a favourite British beach Yes please, send us photos of

you enjoying your favourite beach - with the family, with your pets,

to the usual address and we'll show some on Wednesday,

when we'll be live from Perranporth Thank you to all our guests

for joining us tonight. The Leftovers is out to watch now

on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV and Kieron's documentary,

Mini Monet Millionaire, Tomorrow Angela and I will be joined

by Sir Mark Rylance and Jack Lowden to talk about their new film,

the hugely anticipated summer
