:00:00. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And Alex Jones.

:00:26. > :00:29.Tonight, we will be talking about this satirical newspaper which was

:00:30. > :00:32.written and produced in harrowing conditions on the front line during

:00:32. > :00:37.World War I. And talking about it with us will be the editor of this

:00:37. > :00:40.satirical newspaper, which is written in a cosy London office just

:00:40. > :00:51.around the corner from a Tesco Metro. It is Ian Hislop! Yeah, they

:00:51. > :00:54.did have tougher conditions than us. Some interesting things have

:00:54. > :00:59.been coming out in the news recently. Have you decided on the

:00:59. > :01:05.cover of next week's Private Eye? It looks like a number of BBC figures

:01:05. > :01:13.in suits, possibly with the headline, the great British payoff.

:01:13. > :01:18.Now, you have written a comedy drama about the Wipers Times, which we

:01:18. > :01:22.will talk about later. But first, ADHD is a common childhood disorder.

:01:22. > :01:27.Symptoms include finding it hard to stay focused and pay attention, and

:01:27. > :01:32.difficulty controlling sometimes violent behaviour. In the last five

:01:33. > :01:38.years, there has been a 50% increase in the number of prescriptions being

:01:39. > :01:43.given to children with ADHD. That is over 657,000 prescriptions a year.

:01:43. > :01:51.So what is it like for the children on those drugs? These are

:01:51. > :01:56.16-year-old Terry Ray and 14-year-old Luke's stories, in their

:01:56. > :02:03.own words. I was not a happy child. I was very angry. I used to smash up

:02:03. > :02:08.things all the time. I used to get into fights, pushing my dad,

:02:08. > :02:12.punching my dad, biting my dad. At the age of six, my mum took me to

:02:12. > :02:20.the doctor about it and then I got diagnosed with ADHD. I was not a bad

:02:20. > :02:21.child, I was just misunderstood. Memory and concentration were the

:02:21. > :02:26.child, I was just misunderstood. main issues. I would always want to

:02:26. > :02:31.do what I was told, I just got distracted. By the age of six, there

:02:31. > :02:37.was no denying it. Everybody knew I was different, but I didn't know

:02:37. > :02:42.why. I was diagnosed with ADHD. It didn't feel any different, until I

:02:42. > :02:48.started taking the tablets. Last year, doctors wrote 657,000

:02:48. > :02:55.prescriptions for ADHD drugs, a 50% rise over the past six years. It is

:02:55. > :03:01.hard to talk about it. It is hard to tell people you have got ADHD,

:03:01. > :03:10.because a lot of people label you naughty, when I am not. I am not

:03:10. > :03:17.nasty or horrible. My medication makes me a different person. It is

:03:17. > :03:23.almost robotic. I am not my bubbly self. I feel boring. But it works so

:03:23. > :03:30.although it has some side effects that I may not be so happy about, it

:03:30. > :03:37.is going to benefit me, completely. If I am on the drugs, personally, I

:03:37. > :03:42.don't feel me. It makes me very emotional. It makes me cry a lot

:03:42. > :03:49.when I get angry Tom because the medication kicks in and I am trying

:03:49. > :03:55.not to cry. If I did not have the medication, I would not cry. Every

:03:55. > :03:59.morning, Chloe Ramus decide when to take her medication. She can only

:03:59. > :04:04.take one pill a day, and the effects only last for eight hours. She must

:04:04. > :04:10.choose which lessons she needs to focus on most, so she can take the

:04:10. > :04:15.pill at the right time. My medication only lasts for six

:04:15. > :04:20.lessons. I find are read to be quite an easy subject, because I enjoyed

:04:20. > :04:24.it -- religious education. So I don't need my tablet as much as I

:04:24. > :04:31.would for, say, music, which is the last lesson. The first lesson and

:04:31. > :04:34.last lessons are the main important ones, because I either take it for

:04:34. > :04:41.the first lesson and miss out the last, or take it for the last and

:04:41. > :04:46.miss out the first. Education, in my life, is the most important thing.

:04:46. > :04:49.Without my tablet, I would not be anywhere. After eight years on

:04:49. > :04:52.Without my tablet, I would not be medication, Luke is on his third

:04:52. > :04:57.type, and although it controls his behaviour, he does not always take

:04:57. > :05:01.his tablet. If I say to my mum and dad that I have taken them, I will

:05:01. > :05:05.need have put them down the sink or say I have taken them when I

:05:05. > :05:12.haven't. Or I will keep them in my mouth and spit them in the toilet.

:05:12. > :05:18.Luke's know that missing his tablet can have serious consequences. Why

:05:18. > :05:26.haven't you taken it? I have been taking it, but not properly. Then

:05:26. > :05:28.you go all moody with me, and start hitting and lashing out because you

:05:28. > :05:32.you go all moody with me, and start have not taken it. When I say, why

:05:32. > :05:38.haven't you taken it, you say, you have. But I know you haven't. It is

:05:38. > :05:45.hard when you don't take it, because we have do pick up the pieces. You

:05:45. > :05:50.are the one who has to deal with it. People ask me all the time, do you

:05:50. > :05:55.grow out of it? You are born with it and you die with it. You can't get

:05:55. > :06:03.rid of it. You can stop it for a few hours with the tablet, but it will

:06:03. > :06:10.always be who you are. If people have got ADHD, it is really

:06:10. > :06:16.important to be active. Ice skating is really good, because I can go all

:06:16. > :06:20.the time. Instead of breaking stuff, I can just ask my mum and dad if I

:06:20. > :06:25.can go skating. It makes me feel free on the ice. It makes me feel

:06:25. > :06:31.like I can fly away, because when I am on the ice, I am me, with or

:06:31. > :06:37.without medication. You really feel for them, watching

:06:37. > :06:41.that. Thank you to Chloe-Rae and Luke for

:06:41. > :06:46.sharing their stories. Doctor Sarah Jarvis is here now. There might be

:06:46. > :06:51.some people out there the same age as Luke and Chloe-Rae who may think

:06:51. > :06:54.they have ADHD, or parents who are concerned. If a parent brought a

:06:54. > :07:00.child into the surgery to see you, how would you determine whether they

:07:00. > :07:05.had ADHD? There are several different kinds of ADHD. Chloe-Rae

:07:05. > :07:10.described herself as a dreamer. That is the inattention kind. Boys often

:07:10. > :07:15.have the more hyperactive, impulsive kind. They are the ones who throw

:07:15. > :07:18.themselves off high walls and don't understand. The difference between a

:07:18. > :07:23.child with ADHD and a child who is badly behaved is that a child with

:07:23. > :07:27.ADHD can't behave well. A badly behaved child, with enough of an

:07:27. > :07:31.incentive, can make themselves behave properly. A child with ADHD

:07:31. > :07:36.may desperately want to, but they can't. But to have a diagnosis, you

:07:36. > :07:41.need to have had at least six of the symptoms for six months, such as not

:07:41. > :07:46.being able to concentrate, losing things, being disorganised, finding

:07:46. > :07:49.it difficult to motivate yourself, blurting out questions, that sort of

:07:49. > :07:54.thing, and it has got to be different from other kids, in at

:07:54. > :08:00.least two settings, at home or at school. Bowie said from the age of

:08:00. > :08:05.six, she was different. In the process goes further than just going

:08:05. > :08:11.to see a GP. A GP can start the process, but ADP should never give a

:08:11. > :08:15.diagnosis. Once you are off school age, if you are moderately

:08:15. > :08:20.effective, you should get to a specialist. At an early stage, we

:08:20. > :08:25.can try early things, but a GP should never put you on these drugs.

:08:25. > :08:29.They are not for us to start. We saw in that film how Luke was so upset,

:08:29. > :08:36.having had to take these drugs and trying to hide them from his family.

:08:36. > :08:40.Are there other options to medication? Medication should never

:08:40. > :08:43.be used on its own. For mild cases and preschool children, we don't

:08:43. > :08:46.recommend it at all. But for severely affected kids, their lives

:08:46. > :08:52.are completely blighted by the condition, so the NICE guidance is

:08:52. > :08:57.that they must first get help for their parents. That is not to say

:08:57. > :09:02.their parents are useless. These kids don't have the same rules.

:09:03. > :09:05.Cognitive behavioural therapy, social skills training, helping them

:09:05. > :09:12.understand what their condition is doing. There is a link on our

:09:12. > :09:17.website if you want more information about ADHD. Now, nearly 100 years

:09:17. > :09:22.ago, a satirical magazine was produced from an unlikely place, the

:09:22. > :09:26.trenches of World War I. It was packed with jokes about

:09:26. > :09:30.bombing raids, the British Army and the evil hand. Ian is so passionate

:09:30. > :09:35.about the magazine that he has written a new comedy about it for

:09:35. > :09:44.BBC Two, and more importantly, he made this film for us.

:09:44. > :09:52.In 1916, the First World War was dragging on. With no end in sight,

:09:52. > :09:57.morale was in short supply. On a miserable January morning, the men

:09:57. > :10:01.of 12 Sherwood Foresters were patrolling the streets of Ypres in

:10:01. > :10:05.Belgium, insert of materials with which to repair the war-torn

:10:05. > :10:09.trenches. Their commanding officer was one Captain Fred Roberts. He and

:10:09. > :10:13.his men came across something unexpected, something which would

:10:13. > :10:24.not mend their trenches, but which would help shore up their spirits. A

:10:24. > :10:30.printing press. Blimey. Can you make this work? It has not been used for

:10:30. > :10:37.a while. But given a bit of time, yes Thomas. During World War I,

:10:37. > :10:43.there were various trench newspapers, but none were produced

:10:43. > :10:49.under such testing conditions in the battlefield as the wipers time. The

:10:49. > :10:53.paper took its name from the inability of the soldiers to

:10:53. > :10:59.pronounce the name Ypres correctly. They pronounced it wipers. It is

:10:59. > :11:05.genuinely funny. All the latest in barbed wire etc. I am such a fan

:11:05. > :11:10.that I recently co-wrote a drama about it for the BBC. Soldiers from

:11:10. > :11:14.all ranks contributed to the newspaper. And they did so in

:11:14. > :11:18.snatched moments of free time. The pages of the Wipers Times are filled

:11:18. > :11:23.with fake advertisements, because the ads were at the front, an

:11:23. > :11:28.editorial, letters from readers, poems. It is all black comedy about

:11:28. > :11:32.daily life in the trenches. Clearly, comedy is a way of coping with the

:11:32. > :11:37.horrors of war. This is an advert for a music hall show that they are

:11:37. > :11:41.going to put on, a screamingly funny farce. They say of the Cloth Hall,

:11:41. > :11:46.it is the best ventilated war in the town. In fact, it was a building

:11:46. > :11:50.that had been bombed to bits. You could not put on anything there. It

:11:50. > :11:54.would be dangerous just to be in it. German shelling meant constant

:11:54. > :12:00.disruptions to production of the paper. The number of printing blocks

:12:00. > :12:04.was always limited. The unique tone of the paper was largely influenced

:12:04. > :12:08.by its editor, captain Fred Roberts. A man of considerable

:12:08. > :12:13.literary talent and a sharp sense of humour, he is a fascinating

:12:13. > :12:17.character. He died in 1964, but his wartime exploits are well known

:12:17. > :12:22.amongst his grandchildren. It is an odd thing to reduce a newspaper in

:12:22. > :12:28.the middle of the war. What were his qualities that made him want to do

:12:28. > :12:32.that? He was a rebel. And a risk taker. This was why he enjoyed

:12:32. > :12:37.taking the Mickey out of the sensors, basically cocking a snook

:12:37. > :12:42.at authority. Not only is this quality writing, but the

:12:42. > :12:46.circumstances under which it was produced or extraordinary. It is

:12:46. > :12:47.incredible. I don't know how he had the time to both write a war and

:12:47. > :12:54.incredible. I don't know how he had write a trench magazine, but he

:12:54. > :12:59.did, and he did it well. My mother was immensely proud of him. She

:13:00. > :13:05.often referred to how brave he was. And they had technical problems?

:13:05. > :13:10.They had problems with a lack of type. For instance, they were short

:13:10. > :13:13.of the letter in the, the letter S and the letter I. It depended what

:13:13. > :13:21.particular press he had at the time as to whether he could publish the

:13:21. > :13:24.magazine. I felt the work he did during World War I to produce this

:13:24. > :13:28.trench magazine and all its humour did a massive amount to improve the

:13:28. > :13:33.morale of the troops who read it. I don't think that was ever

:13:33. > :13:36.acknowledged at the end of the First World War. Such is the demand for

:13:36. > :13:41.First World War memorabilia that original copies of the paper now

:13:41. > :13:46.sell for hundreds of pounds at auction. Looking back almost 100

:13:46. > :13:49.years, the Wipers Times emerges not just as a first-hand account of

:13:49. > :13:57.authentic voices from the trenches, but also as a classic example of the

:13:57. > :14:02.British comic tradition at its best. Ian, what kind of situation are we

:14:02. > :14:06.talking about for this newspaper? The first one had just 100 copies,

:14:07. > :14:10.but it got past hand to hand, and a printed more and then they printed

:14:10. > :14:14.1000, and it started getting right around the western front and then

:14:14. > :14:18.going home. People at home were picking it up, thinking, that is

:14:18. > :14:22.funny. The further the war went on, the more popular it became. And now,

:14:22. > :14:27.funny. The further the war went on, when you pick it up, because it was

:14:27. > :14:32.hand-printed, it is a beautiful thing. Yes, I have one original copy

:14:32. > :14:36.which a lady discovered in her attic and sent to me. It has got mud on

:14:36. > :14:42.the back and it is yellowed with age. It is the authentic voice of

:14:42. > :14:46.the time. That one is from 1916. And there was a motto connected to this

:14:46. > :14:52.paper that came from a comment made by one of the senior chiefs? Yes,

:14:52. > :14:56.the commanding inspector would check the troops and say, are you being

:14:56. > :15:01.offensive enough? They were worried about the troops doing nothing. So

:15:01. > :15:07.Roberts thought, yeah, we are being offensive! And he used it as a joke.

:15:07. > :15:13.He would say, are you being offensive enough? In the film, it

:15:13. > :15:17.looks like you are having a bit of a pop at one of the national

:15:17. > :15:27.newspapers. Everything in the film is real. That is not you?No. There

:15:27. > :15:33.is a pop at the Daily Mail, which obviously, I approve of. But the war

:15:33. > :15:38.correspondents hated them, because they were sitting there saying, I am

:15:38. > :15:47.here at the front line, and Roberts thought, no, you are not. Never seen

:15:47. > :15:51.any of you. And they road fake dispatches. One of them wrote

:15:51. > :16:03.dispatches about how he was in an airship. It was rubbish.

:16:03. > :16:07.dispatches about how he was in an Humour was a way of getting through

:16:07. > :16:09.it, wasn't it? They obviously did it to keep themselves sane, but they

:16:09. > :16:15.found it was keeping other people sane too. Literally just laughing at

:16:15. > :16:20.the awful things that were going on. Cleverly written as well, it's

:16:20. > :16:28.clever satire? Is It's contribution yuetions from all ranks and it's

:16:28. > :16:32.jokes, poems, Limericks, the lot -- contributions. You showed some

:16:32. > :16:37.adverts of what happened in the film. After years of working in the

:16:37. > :16:41.Private Eye, are there articles that you are particularly surprised at?

:16:41. > :16:46.Yes, there is a fake agony column and someone's written in it "don't

:16:46. > :16:50.worry, shooting a senior officer is always excusable" and I'm thinking,

:16:50. > :16:54.they are talking about shooting a senior officer in 1916, you know,

:16:54. > :16:58.it's very black and there's an advert for a duck board, so that

:16:58. > :17:04.when your commanding officer comes down, you jump on one end and it

:17:04. > :17:07.flips him into no-man's-land and they are running this as an ad. We

:17:07. > :17:13.can see now how you turn the magazine into the comedy. The Wipers

:17:13. > :17:21.Times is on at BBC Two tomorrow night at 9 o'clock. This is Michael

:17:21. > :17:28.Palin as General Mitford. I'm referring to this response.

:17:28. > :17:32."Dear Sir, no, the death penalty is not enforced in the cause of

:17:32. > :17:39.murdering a senior officer, as you will always be able to claim ex-ten

:17:39. > :17:43.waiting circumstances". LAUGHTER That's a joke? It's an

:17:43. > :17:49.incitement to mutiny, I'll have him shot. Not if he shoots you first.

:17:49. > :17:53.You watch it and think to yourself, is it all right to laugh at this.

:17:53. > :17:58.There are a lot of moments like that. We have classic Palin moments

:17:58. > :18:00.later on when we reveal the two nominees for the People's Portrait

:18:00. > :18:02.later on when we reveal the two when you get to vote for Great

:18:02. > :18:07.later on when we reveal the two Britain to have their picture hang

:18:07. > :18:11.in the National Portrait Gallery. First, a survey found 62% of people

:18:11. > :18:17.have lied about reading classic novels to make themselves appear

:18:17. > :18:22.more intelligent. Never! Lewis wondered if she could find anybody

:18:22. > :18:24.who'd claim to have read this, entirely fictitious novel by a very

:18:24. > :18:30.unlukely author. It's not out in entirely fictitious novel by a very

:18:30. > :18:36.hard back yet. It's very good! To be quite honest, I often lie

:18:36. > :18:40.about books and films that I say I've read and seen but I haven't.

:18:40. > :18:46.Can I get others to admit they do the same?

:18:46. > :18:52.You have not read it yet? No.Do you intend to read it? I haven't... No,

:18:52. > :18:59.I don't know anything about it. Alex Jones. A new writer to me. Thug read

:18:59. > :19:04.The Valleys yet? No.It's on your list? Yes.Do you think she'll be up

:19:04. > :19:09.there with the literary greats, like Dickens, toll city? Yes.This is her

:19:09. > :19:14.third book, how many of her books have you read? I just read the first

:19:14. > :19:23.one. You have read the first one. Did you enjoy it? Yeah. Her writing

:19:23. > :19:28.is, you know, quite classic. Do you feel she speaks to you as a woman?

:19:28. > :19:33.Oh, yes, you know, she's very good and you get the feel of her

:19:33. > :19:39.characters in everything that she's doing. Why did some of the people I

:19:39. > :19:44.spoke to feel the need to lie? I think it's all about ego, isn't it,

:19:44. > :19:48.you know? We all want to be what we are not or we all want to be better

:19:48. > :19:53.than we are or better than we are perceived. Sometimes I do feel a

:19:53. > :20:00.bit, you know, you don't want to keep saying, sorry, I haven't read

:20:00. > :20:06.that. Why do we do it? I suppose we don't want to appear to be not very

:20:06. > :20:13.erudite, I suppose, we want to appear very knowledgeable and know

:20:13. > :20:18.about our literature. I talk about books that I skimmed or

:20:19. > :20:22.glanced at or read a review of and then I have probably allowed people

:20:22. > :20:25.to get the impression that I had read it.

:20:25. > :20:29.What do you think the reasons are that people pretend to have read a

:20:29. > :20:33.book when they haven't? We live in a world where we are constantly

:20:33. > :20:37.worried, perhaps far too much, about what other people are thinking about

:20:37. > :20:43.us. There is such a per crepion that books are things that we should read

:20:43. > :20:53.-- perception. If you find a cultured, sophisticated person, you

:20:53. > :20:59.think you need to read books. . I've got to put her out of her misery. I

:20:59. > :21:06.just made her up. No! You rat bag. You've done what I do all the time.

:21:06. > :21:10.If somebody's enthusiastic about an author, I will play along with them.

:21:10. > :21:14.Most people that we have spoken to today have admitted that they have

:21:14. > :21:21.lied about their cultural consumption at some point to fit in.

:21:21. > :21:22.So, just bear in mind the next time you are having a literary

:21:22. > :21:22.So, just bear in mind the next time conversation with someone, you may

:21:22. > :21:23.So, just bear in mind the next time not be telling you the whole story,

:21:23. > :21:38.or even half of it. The rat bag is here, Lucy! Can't

:21:38. > :21:42.believe that. I'm so ashamed.She'll enjoy my book when it finally comes

:21:42. > :21:46.out! The Man Booker Prize short list is out today, Lucy. Yes.At the

:21:46. > :21:49.start of the film you said you don't read the books so you obviously

:21:49. > :21:54.haven't read any of them? Not yet. What is on the list? It's very

:21:54. > :22:04.strong, some critics called it the strongest short list ever. We have

:22:04. > :22:11.the Testament of Mary, We Need More Names, Harvest, The Lowland and A

:22:11. > :22:19.Tale for the Time Being, a very strong list. Have you read any, Ian?

:22:19. > :22:25.No. I have done the opposite and pretended I've never read a Jeffrey

:22:25. > :22:27.Archer when I did! LAUGHTER

:22:27. > :22:32.Was it good? No. If you are drawn into conversation

:22:33. > :22:37.about these books on the list, this is the bluffer's guide. From someone

:22:37. > :22:48.that's never read 'em, come on. I have read A book, I would like to

:22:48. > :22:56.clear that up. The Lowland author is already a Pulitzer prize novelist.

:22:56. > :23:00.This is an extraordinary novel. Why? Sa I'm going to tell you. It charts

:23:01. > :23:04.two brothers' journeys. One goes to the US and one stays in east Bengal

:23:05. > :23:10.and gets involved in politics. What the author is able to do is to get

:23:10. > :23:15.that emotional resonance so she conjures from the chaos of human

:23:15. > :23:25.life, she's able to conjure... Really? All right, Lucy... This is a

:23:25. > :23:29.completely different vibe. This is the Wexford author, known as the

:23:29. > :23:36.Master, and in fact that was one of the titles of his novels. This time

:23:36. > :23:41.the protag nast is Mary Mother of God. In 101 pages, we find Mary as a

:23:41. > :23:46.solitary older woman looking back at the life of her son and the

:23:46. > :23:53.foundations of Christianity. It's so powerful. What I find interesting

:23:53. > :23:56.about The Testament of Mary is how they recount Lazarus. Does that

:23:56. > :24:01.reflect what we are talking ability now? Yes, you have done that

:24:01. > :24:07.straight back at me! We don't like to get specific about pages. Keep it

:24:07. > :24:13.general. They gave me that line to throw at you. You wouldn't last five

:24:13. > :24:17.minutes at a dinner party. It was a good guide, thank you ever so much.

:24:17. > :24:22.Now time to say goodbye to viewers in Scotland. But, you will have to

:24:22. > :24:27.catch up within this next bit on the iPlayer because we need you to vote

:24:27. > :24:33.on the People's Portrait on Friday. Good luck in the football. See you.

:24:33. > :24:38.For everyone else, here are today's nominees for the People's Portrait.

:24:38. > :24:46.One of which could end up in the National Portrait Gallery.

:24:47. > :25:00.Michael Palin, comedy legend, actor, writer and modern day fill yas Fire

:25:00. > :25:06.Brigade. -- Phileas Fogg. I want you to imagine a world without Michael

:25:06. > :25:13.Palin's contribution to comedy. I want to register a complaint. What

:25:13. > :25:22.is wrong with it? It's dead. And there was the subtle comedy of a

:25:22. > :25:30.Fish Called Wanda. He has this sort of ability. He's

:25:30. > :25:35.the best of British. Michael Palin's not only brought a unique unorthodox

:25:35. > :25:39.form of comedy into British homes for almost 50 years. His travel

:25:39. > :25:43.adventures have introduced millions of us to cultures and characters

:25:43. > :25:49.across the globe. What you see on screen on travel

:25:49. > :25:55.documentaries is him, very genuinely him. He's a national treasure, yes.

:25:55. > :26:00.So, if ever you'd been on or dreamt of going on an adventurous holiday,

:26:01. > :26:06.the probably down to Michael Palin. Mount Everest. Forbidding, aloof,

:26:06. > :26:16.terrifying. No, I'm sorry, we don't go there. No. If you are filled with

:26:16. > :26:23.pride, that's thanks to the work of Michael Palin. I have every single

:26:23. > :26:29.tape of Monty Tie on this. I've been in a sketch with you once -- Monty

:26:30. > :26:43.Python. He's not the that sire, just a very lovely man.

:26:43. > :26:47.-- the messiah. Mr Clifford. The idea of protecting

:26:47. > :26:52.the rights of the innocent. When it comes to the idea of protecting the

:26:52. > :26:56.rights of those who've been detained for onth or convicted of extreme

:26:56. > :27:03.crimes like terrorism or murder, that requires a special dedication

:27:03. > :27:07.of quite high moral code. As a boy, Clive Stafford Smith wrote a history

:27:08. > :27:12.essay of capital punishment and later discovered it's still

:27:12. > :27:16.happening across the world. Clive vowed to make a difference.

:27:16. > :27:20.And he has. Known for taking on cases for free

:27:20. > :27:25.for those who cannot afford a lawyer, he's represented over 300

:27:25. > :27:29.death row prisoners and increedibly, prevented the death penalty in all

:27:29. > :27:32.but six cases. But to Clive, any loss of life is

:27:32. > :27:38.unacceptable. When the family ask me why, all I

:27:38. > :27:48.can say is it's a sick world, it's a sick world.

:27:48. > :27:56.We treat people with standards by which we'll be judged. When history

:27:56. > :28:00.will be written, his life will be seen as huge importance. He's put

:28:00. > :28:05.himself under hunger strike out of solidarity for the last detainee in

:28:05. > :28:11.Guantanamo Bay. During the course of his career, he's been called a

:28:11. > :28:16.traitor, all simply for fighting for basic human rights. Working in the

:28:16. > :28:22.field that Clive has for 30 years and to keep going has got to be

:28:22. > :28:27.really, really applauded. Clive Stafford Smith is brave, passionate

:28:27. > :28:31.and an authentic British humanitarian.

:28:31. > :28:35.There are 12 candidates in all. It's a difficult question to choose a TV

:28:35. > :28:41.legend or human rights lawyer, but who would you go for there, Michael

:28:41. > :28:45.or Clive? Michael Palin's just agreed to star in my film so it

:28:45. > :28:51.would be incredibly ungrateful if I didn't pick him, so I'll go for

:28:51. > :28:53.Clive. Excellent.A very important an extraordinary man and less sung

:28:53. > :28:57.than Michael. There'll be more People's Portrait

:28:57. > :29:01.nominees later this week and you can vote for your favourite when the

:29:01. > :29:06.lines open on Friday. If you want to see them all now, go to the website.

:29:06. > :29:10.Also this week, we will be saluting the summer of 2013 and saying thank

:29:10. > :29:15.you so much for all that brilliant sunshine we've had. So we'd like you

:29:15. > :29:18.to send us your stories, pictures and videos of the best thing you got

:29:18. > :29:23.up to this summer. We want to see the highlights,

:29:23. > :29:24.looking forward to that one of you celebrating at Wimbledon. Thanks for

:29:24. > :29:26.looking forward to that one of you the ones you have sent in so far.

:29:26. > :29:31.E-mail us your videos, links or the ones you have sent in so far.

:29:31. > :29:38.however you want to do it. All the details are on the website. You can
