:00:21. > :00:28.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Matt Baker.
:00:28. > :00:34.Tonight a woman who sows, makes and bakes. And a man who can knit a
:00:34. > :00:36.bunch of A-listers into a showbiz creation. It's Kirstie Allsopp!
:00:36. > :00:41.Graham Norton. APPLAUSE
:00:41. > :00:45.See what we did there? All afternoon to write that. Good. Time
:00:45. > :00:50.well spent. Very good. As well, well we were rummaging around in
:00:50. > :00:54.the archives as well because we want to show if you had ever met
:00:54. > :01:03.before. We have once. Hold your tongue and have a look at this.
:01:03. > :01:10.It's... Kirstie Allsopp off the television! We hired a video camera
:01:10. > :01:13.to film. We made a topless upside down confession video. We overslept
:01:14. > :01:18.the next day and didn't take the video camera back. Then I
:01:18. > :01:24.remembered the video was in the cam ra. I rang her up and said please,
:01:24. > :01:29.please don't watch that film... She's gone. At least you were
:01:29. > :01:35.wearing tights. Yes. Good news we've made some alterations to our
:01:35. > :01:39.sofa and it could flip at any time. Keep your legs together. Now our
:01:39. > :01:43.history boy Dan and his history dad Peter are also in tonight. If you
:01:43. > :01:49.saw last night's show, Dan, don't worry we're not going to get your
:01:49. > :01:52.dad to do any dancing. We did Strictly dad dancing. It went on
:01:52. > :01:56.and on into the early hours. Brilliant. The reputation of was
:01:56. > :02:00.going on in our banks is still at rock bottom. Reports of money
:02:00. > :02:05.laundering, rate rigging and rogue trading are some of the scandals
:02:05. > :02:08.linger on -- lingering on. Not that we're blaming ordinary bank workers.
:02:08. > :02:12.Please don't write in. My mum being one of this em. All that being said,
:02:12. > :02:17.if you live in a rural community, the chances are you wouldn't want
:02:17. > :02:23.them to disappear completely. Johnathan Maitland wept to find out.
:02:23. > :02:27.-- went to find out. Criccieth a thriving seaside town
:02:27. > :02:31.in North Wales with a butcher, Delly, grossers, everything you'd
:02:31. > :02:37.expect for a town of nearly 2,000 people. What about banks? This
:02:37. > :02:41.place was a bank once, now it's a curry house. This was a bank too
:02:41. > :02:50.until it became a Chinese. This place, however, is still a bank.
:02:50. > :02:56.But not for much longer. Glenys Owen's late husband used to work at
:02:56. > :03:01.the HSBC but now it's going to go. She was paid a final visit and was
:03:01. > :03:04.given a souvenir, his old pen holder. It's very, very sad and
:03:04. > :03:08.very, very inconvenient and we're all going to miss it. You seem
:03:08. > :03:12.quite emotional about it? Yes, I had a good cry this morning, yes.
:03:12. > :03:15.The banks say, look, they're a business, can you bank on the
:03:16. > :03:20.internet now. I don't have the internet sorry. Times have moved on.
:03:20. > :03:23.I know, but we don't all have to move on, do we? The shop keepers
:03:23. > :03:28.are unhappy too because they've relied on the bank's over the
:03:28. > :03:30.counter services to bring people into their town and their shops.
:03:30. > :03:34.They won't come to Criccieth any more and do their shopping here any
:03:34. > :03:39.more. I don't know how it's going to go. Honestly, we don't know.
:03:39. > :03:42.We're all worried that's the thing. We are worried. Customers wanting
:03:42. > :03:49.those bank services will now have to travel to the neighbouring town
:03:49. > :03:54.five miles away. But that's not all. Now when this place closes the 24-
:03:54. > :03:58.hour free cashpoint will disappear as well. There will still be a
:03:58. > :04:05.cashpoint in town, in a local pub, but it will charge a fee for every
:04:05. > :04:09.withdrawal. Criccieth depends entirely on tourism for its living.
:04:09. > :04:13.Tens of thousands of people come here on a daily basis in the summer
:04:13. > :04:18.months. All these people will need access to money so they can spend
:04:18. > :04:22.it in our shops. Banks say, the big banks, look, in this day and age,
:04:22. > :04:27.you can bank online and it's cheaper, so that's better for the
:04:27. > :04:31.customer. I do online banking myself. But there's no access to
:04:31. > :04:36.your cash. You can't get change. Elderly people needing help with
:04:36. > :04:43.filling in forms and pensions, electricity bills, all these things
:04:43. > :04:46.are done in the bank here. I would like to have spoken to HSBC about
:04:46. > :04:50.their closures. They declined an interview. They said they only
:04:50. > :04:53.close branches as a last resort and only happened when customer numbers
:04:53. > :04:58.had fallen off dramatically. They did say they were planning to close
:04:58. > :05:03.ten more by the end of the year. Some banks have pledged not to
:05:03. > :05:09.close a branch if it's the last one in a community. But not HSBC. In
:05:09. > :05:15.the last year, HSBC alone has closed 47 of its branches across
:05:15. > :05:20.the UK and 14 of those were the last bank in town. One of those was
:05:20. > :05:25.in Nevin, 14 miles from Criccieth. The bank here close twod weeks ago.
:05:25. > :05:28.-- closed two weeks ago. The local shop keeper sells his trade is down
:05:28. > :05:32.already, even though he's had a cashpoint installed. He says costs
:05:32. > :05:38.have gone up too. Now he has to employ extra staff while he drives
:05:38. > :05:43.to another town to bank his takings. Now that means I've got to go seven
:05:43. > :05:47.miles away. It takes three quarters of an hour there and back, plus
:05:47. > :05:52.queuing in the bank. It adds up. UK campaign group sells the effects
:05:52. > :05:56.of bank closures can devastate a community. Some retailers,
:05:56. > :06:01.particularly the butcher, baker, the pharmacist and so on, can lose
:06:01. > :06:05.up to 30% of turnover. Many of those do close as a result. That
:06:05. > :06:10.has a devastating effect on the community as a whole, not just
:06:10. > :06:14.those who will be using the bank that closed. Back in Criccieth,
:06:14. > :06:21.workmen are stripping out the branch, signalling the end of local
:06:21. > :06:25.banking in yet another small town. Dave Fishwick is here now. He's a
:06:25. > :06:29.businessman who was so angry with the Big Four banks he decided to
:06:29. > :06:34.set up a people's bank. It's being filmed for a documentary. Welcome.
:06:34. > :06:38.First of all, you heard what HSBC said about being the last bank on
:06:38. > :06:41.the High Street. Are the other banks holding their promise of not
:06:41. > :06:44.closing if they're the last ones? No, that's speeded things up.
:06:44. > :06:48.They're bailing out faster now. They're not the last ones. I'm with
:06:48. > :06:51.you. We're going to end up in a position where we won't have banks
:06:51. > :06:54.left in the rural communities. We need them. They're the heart of the
:06:54. > :06:58.community. You've come up with a solution. They could have a mobile
:06:58. > :07:03.bank. I've gone round with a cash machine and it links to satellite
:07:03. > :07:06.and we can give to these places and live to a bank. But I can't rescue
:07:06. > :07:13.the country. The ultimate goal would be for people to do the same
:07:13. > :07:19.thing across the country. That's Bob the driver! Does it feel quite
:07:19. > :07:26.secure that? We have fun. There's good decent people left in the
:07:26. > :07:30.country. Do any of the big banks have mobile bank? Have I seen a
:07:30. > :07:33.NatWest one? I'm sure one or two tried it. You have set up shop
:07:33. > :07:41.permanently in Burnley. What was the industry's response to that?
:07:41. > :07:47.don't think they like it. Early '09 my customers were coming to me and
:07:47. > :07:52.they couldn't get loans to buy the buses. So I lent them the money and
:07:52. > :07:57.they paid me back. I thought I'd have a go. We have 97% repayment.
:07:57. > :08:01.It's incredible. Give us an idea of how it works. Say you've just sold
:08:01. > :08:07.a television company or whatever... LAUGHTER
:08:07. > :08:13.If that was me, hypothetically and I came to you, what would you do
:08:13. > :08:18.with the money? Yeah what would you do? I'm waiting for the lever and
:08:18. > :08:21.going back. The thing to do is I help people achieve 5% on their
:08:21. > :08:24.save ings. I lend that money to local people who can't borrow
:08:24. > :08:28.through a High Street bank through no fault of their home. We're
:08:28. > :08:32.rescuing businesses helping local people as well. We take the profit
:08:32. > :08:36.from that, pay the tiny overheads and this is the big one, we give
:08:36. > :08:40.the profits to charity. You don't make anything at all? Enough to pay
:08:40. > :08:49.the overheads, the difference we give away. That's how it works.
:08:49. > :08:54.I'm not getting 5%. This must be very popular? That's the problem.
:08:54. > :09:02.Me and David who run this thing, we've actually got a two-year
:09:02. > :09:12.waiting list to put money in till 2014. You know the big banks have
:09:12. > :09:12.
:09:13. > :09:19.queued -- queues outside to take their money out. How do you do?
:09:19. > :09:22.have a self-perpetuating business. My minibus business is capable of
:09:22. > :09:27.carrying that money at any one time. Any money out of the businesses we
:09:27. > :09:32.put it into the banks. It can't keep growing? It can if we want to
:09:32. > :09:35.put more businesses into it. But the ultimate goal to this is to
:09:35. > :09:42.have a community bank in every town and city across the country
:09:42. > :09:46.benefiting the community run bit community. You've put that to the
:09:46. > :09:51.Tory conference. This morning. There's a guy there called Steve
:09:51. > :09:56.Bakewell, one of the MPs. He's head -- Steve baker, he's one of the MPs.
:09:56. > :10:00.He said get everybody that can do write in to their local MP, he'll
:10:00. > :10:07.get loads of MPs into a meeting and we'll try to change banking in
:10:07. > :10:13.Britain forever. That's powerful stuff. You had a bit after a jibe
:10:13. > :10:17.about mortgages. The thing is a lot of problems were caused by
:10:17. > :10:22.irresponsible lending, but the majority of that lending wasn't to
:10:22. > :10:26.your average British householder. Now, they're saying oh, we're being
:10:26. > :10:31.more careful, but they're being much more careful with people who
:10:31. > :10:34.just want mortgages and anecdotally and Dave knows more than I do about
:10:34. > :10:37.the figures, but I'm finding that people are putting in these
:10:37. > :10:41.mortgage applications and it's eight to ten weeks before it's
:10:41. > :10:45.coming through, which is holding up sales, causing chains to collapse.
:10:45. > :10:49.It doesn't help anybody. You don't need to know your grandmother's
:10:49. > :10:53.shoe size before you lend someone money. That's a very good point.
:10:53. > :10:57.Thank you, Dave, all the very best. Thank you very much. Alex is with
:10:57. > :11:01.some of our guests who have tried to reverse the decline in rural
:11:01. > :11:06.businesses by simply starting up on their own.
:11:06. > :11:10.I'm here with Paul. You and your community have opened a local store
:11:10. > :11:15.completely from scratch. Why and how did you manage to do that?
:11:15. > :11:20.Right, well the last shop in the village had closed 25 years before.
:11:20. > :11:25.It's an 18-mile round trip to the nearest supermarket. There was
:11:25. > :11:31.strong support for a community-led shop which would also act as an
:11:31. > :11:37.output for local food and products. And how due manage to get funding?
:11:37. > :11:42.We got funding from a variety of sources, from grants, from local
:11:42. > :11:47.activities, from shares in the shop itself. And as Alison was telling
:11:47. > :11:52.us, anybody can gets funding like this, so you can be an inspiration.
:11:52. > :11:56.You have 53 volunteers in total and Paul, you're at the top of the tree,
:11:56. > :12:00.Ed I'm sorry, you're the manager and having the post in this local
:12:01. > :12:05.store actually changed your life completely. Yes, it did. In 2009 I
:12:05. > :12:09.had a brain tumour and I lost my job. I couldn't work. I couldn't
:12:09. > :12:15.find a job. It was the first job I actually found. It took two years
:12:15. > :12:20.and it was in retail and ideal for me. It's just saved my life really.
:12:20. > :12:25.It's a fantastic shop. We do a massive range, 40% is local. We do
:12:25. > :12:33.bread, cakes, jams, preserves, meats. It's really good. Including
:12:33. > :12:36.this lovely cake here. Gorgeous! Over here is Julie. You re-opened
:12:36. > :12:40.the Post Office in your village. You wrote in lots and -- roped in
:12:40. > :12:47.lots of volunteers to help you. That's right. Yes, we did. We
:12:47. > :12:55.managed to raise a lot of money to do it. We also sold shares at �10
:12:55. > :12:59.each to raise money. To date, we've got 536 shares. It's provided a
:12:59. > :13:02.much needed facility in the village, which everybody supports.
:13:03. > :13:09.Especially if there's no doubt. Precisely. Here we've got Paul and
:13:10. > :13:15.Debbie. You've re-opened the Norton pub in coals Norton. How important
:13:15. > :13:18.for the community has that been? It's been really important. I mean,
:13:18. > :13:22.it's not just important that we sell alcohol because pubs just
:13:22. > :13:28.can't survive on selling alcohol. You have to be a social centre
:13:28. > :13:32.really. We arrange entertainment for the villagers. We do walks to
:13:32. > :13:35.encourage fitness. We did a takeaway service of food so that
:13:35. > :13:38.you don't just include people who come into the pub. We try to reach
:13:38. > :13:43.everybody in the village. The best thing is they've actually named it
:13:43. > :13:53.after one of our guests, because Paul you have it on your T-shirt
:13:53. > :13:55.
:13:55. > :14:00.there. It's called the Norton. Perfect! Soon to be renamed the
:14:00. > :14:03.Graham Norton. I'll be there. found a great organisation called
:14:03. > :14:05.The Plunkett Foundation who have helped these projects get off the
:14:05. > :14:10.ground. If you want more information go to our website. All
:14:10. > :14:13.the info is there for you. Now it was a month ago that the
:14:13. > :14:19.Paralympic flame was extinguished. It lit a spark that is still
:14:19. > :14:26.burning. The iconic images of Ellie Simmonds, David Weir and Johnny
:14:26. > :14:29.Peacock winning gold have made a lasting impression on many of us.
:14:29. > :14:33.Inquiries to Paralympic sports clubs have gone through the roof.
:14:33. > :14:39.I'm Kevin Fox and watching the Paralympics has inspired me to take
:14:39. > :14:42.up some throwing events like discus, shot putt and javelin. It is one of
:14:42. > :14:46.the first times I'd seen anyone like me with disabilities doing
:14:47. > :14:52.things that you wouldn't expect them to be able to do. Guys running
:14:52. > :14:56.100m with no legs, it's crazy things. My accident occurred in
:14:56. > :15:01.March 2008. I was driving a motorbike. I crashed straight into
:15:01. > :15:10.the back of a HGV. I lost my left arm. I suffered some terrible head
:15:10. > :15:13.injuries. To make all this happen I rang Milton Keynes athletics club.
:15:13. > :15:18.They spurred me on to train and see what I can do. When I'm throwing
:15:18. > :15:21.it's good. It feels like I've got all my strength back. When you let
:15:21. > :15:25.the ball go and you turn around and see how far it's gone, it's
:15:25. > :15:29.fantastic. Sport will help me get out of the house. I don't just want
:15:29. > :15:39.to sit in the house watching life go by any more. I want to make my
:15:39. > :15:48.
:15:48. > :15:53.kids proud of me. Hopefully I'll be The Paralympics inspired me to take
:15:53. > :15:59.up sport. They were good at what they were doing. I am hearing and
:15:59. > :16:02.visually impaired. I wear two hearing aids all the time and I use
:16:02. > :16:06.a cane and wear glasses. I have never really done any sport because
:16:06. > :16:09.I don't think I had an interest and I never thought it would be
:16:09. > :16:13.accessible to me because of my hearing and vision loss. When I
:16:13. > :16:17.started to think about the Paralympicsks I wanted to start
:16:17. > :16:21.something new and I e-mailed Hannah at Nottingham University asking
:16:22. > :16:26.about it and went along to one of the training sessions and had a go.
:16:26. > :16:30.I think it is a sport that I can take part in and it is a sport that
:16:30. > :16:35.I enjoy. I never had the chance to work as a team in that way way
:16:35. > :16:38.before. I think we have got some kind of vision loss and we're
:16:38. > :16:46.trying. Watching the Paralympics inspired
:16:46. > :16:52.me to take up wheel care basketball. I had been accident 17 years ago
:16:52. > :16:56.and I can walk a little, but yes, I have to use a wheelchair. Since my
:16:56. > :17:03.injury, I have not done no sport, I have been sitting around doing
:17:03. > :17:06.cross word puzzles. I phoned up my local basketball team and for the
:17:06. > :17:10.past four weeks, they took me in. We were welcomed straightaway.
:17:10. > :17:14.People came over and introduced themselves and said, "Here is a
:17:14. > :17:17.wheelchair, come and join us." There is a lot of people out there
:17:17. > :17:21.with disabilities and they won't do anything because they don't feel
:17:21. > :17:26.they are welcome into a group or a team, but they should go out
:17:26. > :17:31.because they would be welcomed. It doesn't matter if it is basketball,
:17:31. > :17:35.tennis, there is something out there for everybody.
:17:35. > :17:41.Graham, you will telling us throughout the Paralympics you just
:17:41. > :17:48.wept? It was all so inspiring. And that closing ceremony was just
:17:48. > :17:50.brilliant. Were you sporty at school then? No. It is inspiring
:17:50. > :17:54.now! LAUGHTER
:17:54. > :17:58.Yes. Yes. We have a great picture here here
:17:58. > :18:05.that we found. What's all that about? Me and my medal. They made
:18:05. > :18:11.me dress up for the Radio Times. Fancy dress, not actual sport! And
:18:11. > :18:17.were your kids inspired, Kirstie because you have got four boys?
:18:17. > :18:22.saw David David Weir win the 1500 meters and what was extraordinary,
:18:22. > :18:27.when he was coming down the track, it was like Batman was coming down
:18:27. > :18:31.the trackment they were screaming, the hole stadium was -- whole
:18:31. > :18:34.stadium was screaming, the energy in the stadium alone must have
:18:34. > :18:41.pushed them across the finishing line.
:18:41. > :18:45.It was Graham crying. You hope that spirit can continue.
:18:45. > :18:52.Shall we talk crafts then? You want to get your own back, don't you, on
:18:52. > :18:59.Graham? The thing is, do you know what this is, Graham?
:18:59. > :19:00.LAUGHTER I can guess!
:19:00. > :19:05.LAUGHTER It is a napkin rose.
:19:05. > :19:12.When would you use that? I see. They are pretty for weddings and
:19:12. > :19:19.things. It is nice table decorations. And
:19:19. > :19:23.Graham is going to make one. Can I use that one? No, that's cheating.
:19:23. > :19:28.There it is, rose napkin in the book. Did you make that bookmark
:19:28. > :19:36.yourself? LAUGHTER
:19:36. > :19:41.That's gorgeous. There it is. You can just busy yourself. Do I have a
:19:41. > :19:47.napkin? That's a ghost napkin. The book accompanies a new series
:19:47. > :19:51.you have got coming to Channel 4, it is called Kirstie's Vintage
:19:51. > :19:54.Homes. It is four years now since I have been doing the craft shows and
:19:54. > :19:59.the first one was about the house I bought and filling it with things
:19:59. > :20:03.that were made and second-hand and revamped and up cycled and it has
:20:03. > :20:07.gone on and on and it is extraordinary because we have done
:20:07. > :20:10.a lot of research which shows a lot of people are unhappy with the way
:20:10. > :20:13.their homes are, but they don't feel they have the confidence to do
:20:13. > :20:19.it, at the moment they don't have the money and one of the brilliant
:20:19. > :20:23.things is you can look around your home and for a tenner or twenty
:20:23. > :20:27.pounds you can revamp something that you actually have and make it
:20:27. > :20:33.look completely different. Chairs, sideboards, tables, one of the
:20:33. > :20:37.things we did was screen printing, a sideboard. It is wire wool and
:20:37. > :20:41.then you design your whatever you want to do, a pattern, you can do
:20:41. > :20:46.lovely things with children's pictures which work very well, you
:20:46. > :20:50.know, into reproduce so you do the screen printing and pop it on and
:20:50. > :20:55.dot pain and you varnish it with a water based varnish and that's it a
:20:55. > :20:59.new piece of furniture. In the first episode you helped
:20:59. > :21:02.Colin and Amber. Here you are. You don't hear people talking about
:21:02. > :21:06.their sideboards much these days, but for generations the sideboard
:21:06. > :21:12.has been a big piece of furniture in the house which said a lot about
:21:12. > :21:14.you and how you led your life. This 1960s sideboard bought by Amber is
:21:14. > :21:20.going to do the same for their house.
:21:20. > :21:24.We're going to give it some creative TLC with the help of Zoe
:21:24. > :21:29.Murphy, the princess of screen printing. She specialises in
:21:30. > :21:36.transforming unloved possessions into furniture and she has her eye
:21:36. > :21:45.on one of Amber's cheeky online purchases.
:21:45. > :21:50.It looks great. I wasn't that bothered. That's quite a nice
:21:50. > :21:52.napkin, I would say that. Do that and put a knife and fork on it.
:21:52. > :22:02.That's Entertaining. When you get married, you will want
:22:02. > :22:11.
:22:11. > :22:12.the table to look decorative. OK. There will be some flowers.
:22:12. > :22:15.LAUGHTER There are loads of craft in the
:22:15. > :22:18.book for people to do and it is split into two sections because it
:22:18. > :22:20.is about how to buy great vintage furniture and how to make stuff.
:22:21. > :22:23.how to get furniture off the side of the pavement. People are
:22:23. > :22:25.chucking stuff away all over the country. Local authority dumps, if
:22:25. > :22:30.someone is doing work, often people chuck stuff out. If anyone has died,
:22:30. > :22:32.people go around to a House of A relative and they look at the stuff
:22:32. > :22:36.and they think it is worthless and it is not.
:22:36. > :22:40.It is having the vision of knowing what to do with it. You look at the
:22:40. > :22:44.shape of something and you go, "Put a few little bits on there and it
:22:44. > :22:50.will look perfect. It is the first time you take a chair and you strip
:22:50. > :22:55.the paint off and repain, it is the same feeling you get when you bring
:22:55. > :23:01.something home from school, "I made this.". Are you into anything like
:23:01. > :23:07.this? Do you prefer the clean lines? I will buy junk. There is a
:23:07. > :23:12.lot of of crap in my house. You like to surround yourself with
:23:12. > :23:15.a lot of stuff? Are you minimal? That sounds like I decorated it, it
:23:16. > :23:23.is just mess. It is piles of magazines and dog hair really. It
:23:23. > :23:27.is not - people would be surprised just how dirty my house is.
:23:27. > :23:32.No, don't. You are my idol and if I discovered
:23:32. > :23:37.you had a dirty home, that would disappoint me.
:23:37. > :23:45.Let's say it is grubby. My whole house is distressed.

:24:41. > :24:44.challenge. No, Pam is the person in the know. Hi, Pam. Tell me about
:24:44. > :24:50.the challenge. Well, as part of our jubilee
:24:50. > :24:54.celebration we are planting 60,000 snowdrops in the grounds of the
:24:54. > :24:59.Trinity Centre and they are to create a public snowdrop walk for
:24:59. > :25:03.everybody to remember the jub the jubilee.
:25:03. > :25:07.We need you to get the word out. Anything else? We need to get
:25:07. > :25:11.dibbers. No problem. Man power and dibbers.
:25:11. > :25:14.I'm on it! With the challenge set, we hit the
:25:14. > :25:19.streets to drum up interest the old-fashioned way.
:25:19. > :25:23.We hope to make this historic town a snowdrop town.
:25:23. > :25:28.You look like a man who would help a damson in distress.
:25:28. > :25:33.It is your lucky day because I am a gardener anyway. Look at state of
:25:33. > :25:36.me, does it not tell? You look like a tidy gardener. Because I bet you
:25:36. > :25:41.are brilliant planting stuff? you're on.
:25:41. > :25:46.Exactly. I knew you would be up for it. Things were ticking along
:25:46. > :25:56.nicely, so I take a moment to find out more about this little flower.
:25:56. > :26:01.
:26:01. > :26:05.Ray is chairman of Shaftsbury In Bloom.
:26:05. > :26:11.It is the common British single snowdrop. It is nice to have
:26:11. > :26:14.something that's common throughout the UK.
:26:15. > :26:19.Dairy employs hundreds of people and it should prove a happy hunting
:26:19. > :26:24.ground. Check out these two. I need to get volunteers and I have got my
:26:24. > :26:29.leaflet. Let's do it! Have you got green fingers? I have,
:26:29. > :26:37.yes. Would you mind coming to help us on
:26:37. > :26:44.the One Show To The Rescue? Do I need my gardening gloves? Gardening
:26:44. > :26:53.gloves and tools. She planted snowdrops in her garden already.
:26:53. > :27:02.Are you going to be there? Promise? Don't let me down.
:27:02. > :27:06.OK, lads, down tools. Down tools. I am the boss now. 60,000 snowdrop
:27:07. > :27:11.bulbs need to be planted. Are you in? We're in.
:27:11. > :27:17.And make sure you bring your tools. I I wonder if I could borrow a
:27:17. > :27:23.moment of your time, lads. Are you off duty tomorrow? We are. What do
:27:23. > :27:27.you need us to do? Just come, plant and be happy. We can do that.
:27:27. > :27:35.I had forgotten to get the dippers sorted, but with a tip-off and a
:27:35. > :27:39.lift from the lads we got some. We just made it. I have come to get
:27:39. > :27:48.dibbers. Thank you. I just made it in time and got some dibbers so
:27:48. > :27:54.hopefully tomorrow everyone will will turn out and help with The One
:27:54. > :27:57.Show To The Rescue. How are you getting on? It is
:27:57. > :28:02.heaving. Hello, Matt and Alex. I am down
:28:02. > :28:06.here. Welcome and good evening. Now, we have had a successful day today.
:28:06. > :28:10.Such a successful day which exceeded my expectations. Earlier
:28:10. > :28:18.there, morning I thought maybe one or two people might come up to help,
:28:18. > :28:22.but I was surprised when I saw an army of volunteers come up to the
:28:22. > :28:26.Trinity Centre where we are standing now to plant 60,000
:28:26. > :28:30.snowdrop bulbs and they have been here since 10am, we have had
:28:30. > :28:33.everyone from estate agents, schoolchildren and schoolteachers
:28:33. > :28:36.and the Fire Brigade and the person who made it happen is Pam. You must
:28:36. > :28:41.be so happy at the way the community has come together? I am
:28:42. > :28:48.athrilled to pieces. -- I'm thrilled to pieces. We have had so
:28:48. > :28:55.many people come out and we are grateful to The One Show. It has
:28:55. > :28:58.been a pleasure, but 60,000 was significant, wasn't it? This is our
:28:58. > :29:04.Diamond Jubilee tribute to the Queen. This will be something that
:29:04. > :29:09.we will have as part of our heritage going forward. 60,000
:29:09. > :29:13.snowdrop bulbs for 60 years. We have got 500 bulbs left to
:29:13. > :29:23.plantment make sure you come back and join us to see if we finished
:29:23. > :29:25.They all just waved silently at the beginning, like they were next door
:29:25. > :29:29.it a hospital and they didn't want to wake anyone.
:29:29. > :29:36.LAUGHTER Very well behaved. Angellica had
:29:36. > :29:43.briefed them. I like the idea of eating candy flas. Someone's got to
:29:44. > :29:48.get hold of that. So Graham, the 12th series. Yes, that's on BBC.
:29:48. > :29:55.There was all the one with Channel 4. But it's a lot of people and a
:29:55. > :29:58.lot of shows. It's back next Friday. The line up for Friday is brilliant.
:29:58. > :30:06.You've got Arnie. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Miranda Hart and
:30:06. > :30:09.little Ronnie Corbett. Don't forget Usher. And usher. That is great.
:30:09. > :30:14.Did you start with Ronnie Corbett or Arnold Schwarzenegger and then
:30:14. > :30:18.go to the opposite end? I think Arnie came on board first. The
:30:18. > :30:23.thing is, the couch, you want to put lots of thought into the couch.
:30:23. > :30:29.So you want to go who would go with who. But you know what it's like,
:30:29. > :30:35.often, come Wednesday night, you're like anyone, anyone, chuck them on!
:30:35. > :30:40.This is what we have tonight. dud lot tonight. Ronnie's not going
:30:40. > :30:45.to sit on Arnie's knee is he? That's what I thought. I don't
:30:45. > :30:49.think Ronnie does size jokes. not sure that would be right. In
:30:49. > :30:54.fact, the temptation would be to put Ronnie in the middle I think,
:30:54. > :30:58.which would be visually funny. But one of our rules is we should put
:30:58. > :31:02.the lady in the middle so it's boy girl boy, so Ronnie will probably
:31:02. > :31:06.be at the end. You never really know what's going to happen. They
:31:06. > :31:12.just sit down here, similar to what we do, I guess. It is, but except
:31:12. > :31:16.we can cut some bits out. Yeah, yeah. But you didn't cut out the
:31:16. > :31:26.bit where there was interesting mating behaviour between Cameron
:31:26. > :31:26.
:31:27. > :31:32.Diaz and Sir David Attenborough. Let's have a look. Studying human
:31:32. > :31:38.animals, as an actor that's what I do, I study lots of human behaviour.
:31:38. > :31:41.Lots of discoverries? Yes. Big Sur prizes? I have so many more
:31:41. > :31:45.surprises when I watch your shows. You should see the outtakes. I
:31:45. > :31:52.would love to see the outtakes. Maybe we can arrange a viewing. Any
:31:52. > :32:00.time! Brilliant. What were you think whing that was
:32:00. > :32:08.going on? Life under duvet. I like Kathy Burke at the end going "get a
:32:08. > :32:12.room". If Graham invited you onto the show say... We have You have
:32:12. > :32:16.not. I say that to everyone. I'm sure we v. I would run so fast to
:32:16. > :32:20.be on Graham's show. I love Graham's show. I miss it...
:32:20. > :32:27.would you like to be on with? That's a tricky one. I don't know.
:32:27. > :32:32.At the moment I'm so on a kind of down ton Homeland thing, it would
:32:32. > :32:37.probably be damian Lewis Dan Stevens. Nice you could be in the
:32:37. > :32:42.middle. I could see that. That is quite a posh sofya. -- sofa. That's
:32:42. > :32:46.a lot of nice talking. understand that this is a nightmare
:32:46. > :32:53.line up for you. We have this picture here. Is this correct?
:32:53. > :32:57.You've got Harvey Kitel. fairness Janice I didn't mind, but
:32:57. > :33:01.it was an awkward interview but we were told we weren't allowed to
:33:01. > :33:05.talk about her brother. It seemed rude frankly, since he had just
:33:05. > :33:10.died. It seemed really odd that his name wouldn't come up. The other
:33:10. > :33:20.two not my favourite guests of all time. Who is the one in the middle?
:33:20. > :33:20.
:33:21. > :33:24.The butter man. John Lyden. That's his legacy. He came on here, Johnny
:33:24. > :33:28.rotten. Did you enjoy it. It was interesting. You don't know what to
:33:28. > :33:32.expect. You go for it and it was good. We've had David Cassidy, I
:33:32. > :33:38.just said that outloud and he's quite tricky. How do you deal with
:33:38. > :33:45.it? He was such a hero of mine, I worshipped him growing up. And then
:33:45. > :33:50.I met him. Oh, it was disappointing. Did he have the same hair. He
:33:50. > :33:56.looked like a dog that had rolled in paint. He didn't stop talking.
:33:56. > :34:00.We had this alpaca on and we had more sense from that by the end.
:34:00. > :34:06.Shall we move on now? Who have you tried toe get that you would really
:34:06. > :34:10.like? This question used to be easy, because it was always Madonna. Now
:34:10. > :34:16.we've had Madonna. I've had to think again. The only kind of big
:34:16. > :34:21.Hollywood ones we haven't had is George Clooney. We haven't had Brad
:34:21. > :34:25.and Angelina. That would be nice. That would be an event. That's a
:34:25. > :34:33.waste to have them all on One Show. We should spread them out. Is that
:34:33. > :34:40.true that we have George next week? Yeah. They're playing with us!
:34:40. > :34:44.am, I will be calling my booker "The One Show have George!"
:34:44. > :34:48.Graham Norton Show is back Friday the 19th October on BBC One at
:34:48. > :34:53.10.35pm. Well it would be very bold of a TV executive to put one man on
:34:53. > :34:57.his own on stage for 30 minutes straight down the barrel just
:34:57. > :35:01.talking about history. Nothing else. It's a very long way from the BBC's
:35:01. > :35:04.current blockbuster series Andrew Marr's History of the World which
:35:04. > :35:08.has drawn criticism for its reliance on expensive drama
:35:08. > :35:16.reconstructions and CGI effects. But it did happen. Over to Dan and
:35:16. > :35:20.his dad. In the early days of TV, in the
:35:20. > :35:28.1950s, technology was basic and so too were the television shows. When
:35:28. > :35:32.it came to history, the biggest name was Oxford don AJP Taylor.
:35:32. > :35:37.Good evening. The whole Russian empire, you can see this on the map,
:35:37. > :35:46.depended on railways. He simply gave straight half-hour lectures to
:35:46. > :35:49.the cam ra. He hooked the viewers in their millions. In today's
:35:50. > :35:55.multimedia world, a visual feast is just as important as a dry resital
:35:55. > :35:59.of the facts. TV has made history come alive. Hang on, 60 years ago
:35:59. > :36:04.in the days of Taylor, my early days too, history didn't have the
:36:04. > :36:10.benefit of virtual reality. There were no fancy graphics and ear
:36:10. > :36:16.pieces and autocue. Britain's first TV historian just talked live to
:36:16. > :36:21.camera for 30 minutes non-stop. And the viewers were no less Spelbound.
:36:21. > :36:26.The strain which broke down Russia was the strain of sending fodder to
:36:26. > :36:31.the millions of army horses. son of hard line socialist parents,
:36:31. > :36:37.he learned the power of debate at home around the dinner table. But
:36:37. > :36:42.it was at Oxford where he honed his skills as a public Speaker and
:36:42. > :36:47.lecturer in 1938. Most lectures didn't start till ten. But Taylor
:36:47. > :36:52.had them at 9am. He was such a pool that students, it wasn't unknown
:36:52. > :36:56.for students to show up in their pajamas so they didn't miss the
:36:56. > :37:00.lectures. What was the secret of his success? He knew his history.
:37:00. > :37:03.He knew how to do it straightforwardly. He was
:37:03. > :37:07.charismatic. He was self-kofd and also very good. The fact this he
:37:07. > :37:13.didn't use notes, of course, he's famous for this. He was a thing of
:37:13. > :37:19.wonder. At the star lecturer set his sights beyond Oxford. In 1950
:37:20. > :37:26.he became a regular on radio and TV depait shows. Often fiery, he once
:37:26. > :37:33.refused to speak during a whole live programme. He was dubbed the
:37:33. > :37:37.sulky don and dropped by the BBC. ATV presents an experiment.
:37:37. > :37:43.resurrected his career on the first commercial TV channel. Huge
:37:43. > :37:50.audyebss -- audiences tuned into his lectures. Alan Taylor...
:37:50. > :37:55.camera in 1961, AJP would once again court controversy with a
:37:55. > :37:59.radical new interpretation of the Nazis. Most of us have always
:37:59. > :38:02.believed that Hitler planned the Second World War as part of a
:38:02. > :38:06.general scheme of world conquest. This view has been challenged in a
:38:06. > :38:10.most provocative way in a recently published book the origins of the
:38:10. > :38:17.Second World War. AJP said that Hitler hadn't bb the only person
:38:17. > :38:23.who caused the war. This caused a moral fire storm. He was attacked,
:38:23. > :38:26.many places, and not least in Oxford. He was a special lecturer,
:38:26. > :38:30.which was supposed to be for five years. It could have been renewed
:38:30. > :38:35.he thought. It wasn't. He took this as being against him and against
:38:35. > :38:40.his politics and he more or less stomped out of Oxford. AJP soon
:38:41. > :38:47.disappeared off our screens, but in 1977, after ten years in the
:38:47. > :38:54.wilderness, producer Eddie Murzov wooed him back to the BBC for a new
:38:54. > :38:59.series. He was delightfully enigmatic po work with. He would
:38:59. > :39:03.not tell you anything other than a one-word description of what he was
:39:03. > :39:07.going to say. As a producer one would sit there tearing one's hair.
:39:07. > :39:12.In fact, you knew he was going to do it. Churchill said after the
:39:12. > :39:20.battle of almain in October 1942, "This may not be the beginning of
:39:20. > :39:25.the end, but it is the end of the beginning." One man, one studio and
:39:25. > :39:30.one camera and a stop watch to keep him to the 30 minutes for the
:39:30. > :39:35.viewers. TV programmes evolved, but AJP Taylor's brand of history
:39:35. > :39:39.faithfully remained the same. He died in 1990, but AJP has etched
:39:39. > :39:45.his own name in history and to this day, he's still one of the most
:39:45. > :39:48.talked about British historians. Dan and Peter are with us now. It
:39:48. > :39:52.sends a shiver down our spines thinking about staring at the
:39:52. > :39:57.camera for 30 minutes delivering a lecture. Peter, would you be up for
:39:57. > :40:02.that? Thrilled to do it, yes. you?! Nothing like communicating
:40:02. > :40:07.your enthusiasm for history and the lessons of history to a viewer. But
:40:07. > :40:11.I will just say this. Good for AJP Taylor, how on earth he did it,
:40:11. > :40:15.brilliant, but this is television. I remember the old days working
:40:15. > :40:19.with at least I worked with graphics. We had cardboard graphics.
:40:19. > :40:24.But now we have these magical things, these computer graphics,
:40:24. > :40:29.maps and all the wonderful things in film and reenactment and so on.
:40:29. > :40:34.That's what one should be doing. A mix is essential. It is television
:40:34. > :40:37.that's the key. Dan, last year on BBC Two they had a series called
:40:37. > :40:42.the Normans and that completely really went back to basics. Do you
:40:42. > :40:47.think that worked? It was a great series. They still had Viking ships
:40:47. > :40:50.in it and re-enactment. They showed pictures of castles when talking
:40:50. > :40:55.about castles. That Taylor, it was extraordinarily and a black studio
:40:55. > :41:02.for half an hour. Talking of making things work, you have incredible
:41:02. > :41:07.archive coming in a series. imperial war museum has a copy of
:41:07. > :41:11.one of the biggest movies of all time in Britain, 20 million people
:41:11. > :41:15.went to watch it in Britain and Ireland in 1917. They've restored
:41:15. > :41:20.it beautifully. It's one of the first documentaries in history. You
:41:20. > :41:25.see the faces of the men from the bat. Some. You see people being
:41:25. > :41:28.killed in the battle. Everybody's using Twitter and you can have a
:41:28. > :41:33.conversation with everybody watching it. Do you think, Peter,
:41:33. > :41:36.with social media, that our history now will be told in much more of an
:41:36. > :41:40.accurate way maybe because of everything that's online? I've been
:41:40. > :41:45.writing about the Duke of Wellington and the crucial thing is
:41:45. > :41:49.to have these letters and diaries and eyewitness material that you
:41:49. > :41:53.can use, primary sources to tell the story. Now we have this great
:41:53. > :41:59.wellth of stuff. I love reading Dan's tweets, and blogs and
:41:59. > :42:04.goodness knows what else. That is a wealth of material. The only worry
:42:04. > :42:09.is is it going to be preserved. How is a historian going to get hold of
:42:09. > :42:13.those tweets. I don't know. Don't ask me. I don't know. None of us
:42:13. > :42:17.know. We'll make a film about it maybe. Are you planning on doing
:42:17. > :42:21.anything else together? It's lovely to see you both on screen?
:42:21. > :42:25.Unfortunately Andrew Marr has pinched the History of the World
:42:26. > :42:27.hist in five minutes. Dad and I did this together, it was great fun.
:42:27. > :42:35.That marked 50 years of television for dad.
:42:36. > :42:39.APPLAUSE What about that! That's great. It
:42:39. > :42:44.started a while back, the connection, the love of history
:42:44. > :42:48.from your dad. A great picture of you there, young Dan. The old bowl
:42:48. > :42:55.cut. It's a beauty. It's a bit like Boris Johnson. That's the par they
:42:55. > :43:01.none in Greece. All my friends were going to football clubs, we went to
:43:01. > :43:05.see ancient Greece. Wild stuff. were a wonderful listener. Graham,
:43:05. > :43:11.we have a lovely picture of you and your dad. You dedicated your first
:43:11. > :43:17.BAFTA to your dad. I did. It's weird that thing that you would do
:43:17. > :43:21.that with your dad. If my dad had suggested that on principle I
:43:21. > :43:25.wouldn't have gone because he wanted me to go. Good son. That was
:43:25. > :43:30.before my rebellious phase. great to be working to the and sat
:43:30. > :43:34.here. It's a treat. Thank you both for coming on. It's inspired a game.
:43:34. > :43:39.It has. As we've established Dan and Peter are father and son,
:43:40. > :43:47.Kirsty, your cousin is home furnishing Queen, Cath Kidston. On
:43:47. > :43:51.that theme... Due know that? Amazing. Discounts? Your banking
:43:51. > :43:59.sorted while year here and discounts. On that theme we're
:43:59. > :44:02.playing The One Show's rellies on the telly.
:44:02. > :44:06.In principle, it's quite a simple game. Basically all you have to do
:44:06. > :44:12.is try to match up those along the bottom that are related to those at
:44:12. > :44:16.the top. Someone's related to a clock. Well, yeah. It's actually
:44:16. > :44:21.the speaking clock. Kirsty is on the speaking clock. Kirsty is on
:44:21. > :44:31.the top and then Cath Kidston. You pair them on. Holly Valance or
:44:31. > :44:36.
:44:36. > :44:46.. I would say Terry Thomas because I'm sure he toured Australia.
:44:46. > :44:49.It is a good guess, Terry Thomas. Will you agree? I am looking for a
:44:49. > :44:58.similarity. Let's try for Benny Hill.
:44:58. > :45:08.Let's try for Benny Hill. Holly will love that! Holly on her
:45:08. > :45:08.
:45:08. > :45:14.honeymoon going "just checking in.". Second cousin twice removed. Can we
:45:14. > :45:24.move on. Skeleton that is is dug up in a car
:45:24. > :45:26.
:45:26. > :45:33.park. That skeleton has scolarsis which
:45:34. > :45:40.is what they thought he. The voice of the speaking clock.
:45:40. > :45:50.Which is probably Chris Huhne's mum. Chris Huhne is the son of the
:45:50. > :45:55.speaking clock. It explains so much!
:45:55. > :46:05.Richard Briers is related to Terry Thomas. It is a great game. Very
:46:05. > :46:05.
:46:05. > :46:14.good. I like the one, who is the new one in Down ton, do you know
:46:14. > :46:18.who her brother is? Warren Beatty. And Gary Oldman and
:46:18. > :46:21.Mo off EastEnders, that's who I couldn't believe! A change in
:46:21. > :46:25.direction. Yes.
:46:25. > :46:28.Changing a career can be a bold, but nerve-wracking experience.
:46:28. > :46:32.new Government scheme is giving people to try out their dream job
:46:32. > :46:37.before they take the plunge. Simon Boazman went back to school to find
:46:37. > :46:42.Boazman went back to school to find out more.
:46:42. > :46:46.23-year-old Joe and 42 plumber Damien are fed up with serving
:46:46. > :46:49.pizzas and plumbing sinks. They have decided they want to change
:46:49. > :46:54.change their careers and are considering becoming primary school
:46:54. > :46:57.teachers. Working in a pizza restaurant is great, but I'm more
:46:57. > :47:01.passionate about teaching. It is time for another career
:47:01. > :47:06.change and I thought why not go back to what I wanted to do
:47:06. > :47:11.originally which was teaching. My name is Mr Robson.
:47:11. > :47:16.Male teachers are few and far between. Within primary schools in
:47:16. > :47:21.England, only 13% of teachers are men and one in four primary schools
:47:21. > :47:24.have no male teachers at all. Many people believe without positive
:47:24. > :47:28.male role models, schoolchildren are missing out so the Government
:47:28. > :47:32.have set-up a new scheme to encourage men into the profession.
:47:32. > :47:37.And to show them that being a primary school teacher can be a
:47:37. > :47:42.rewarding career. Joe and Damien are attending this
:47:42. > :47:47.school in Nottingham to take part in the primary experience programme.
:47:47. > :47:50.Today's lesson, we are going to be looking at different countries.
:47:50. > :47:55.The scheme is aimed at men who declared an interest in a teaching
:47:56. > :47:59.career. It gives graduates the chance to sample life in the
:47:59. > :48:04.classroom before committing to teacher training.
:48:04. > :48:08.I think it is really good if we can have positive male role models who
:48:08. > :48:10.are making a difference in just the same way as their female teachers
:48:10. > :48:15.are. Why do you think we have a
:48:15. > :48:19.situation now where there are so few male teachers? Men didn't see
:48:19. > :48:23.it as an exciting career option. More than anything, they are going
:48:23. > :48:25.to see that schools are exciting places to be. That they can make a
:48:25. > :48:28.difference. Joe and Damien will spend their
:48:28. > :48:32.time at the school talking to children and teachers and observing
:48:32. > :48:36.classes. It is not bad that. Not bad.
:48:36. > :48:40.Before the week is up, they will be given the opportunity to take a
:48:40. > :48:44.class on their own. We have asked them to record how they get on.
:48:44. > :48:46.A bit frantic this morning, finding my way around, but I have settled
:48:46. > :48:50.into it. I met a lot more of the children
:48:50. > :48:57.today. I did a lot of activities and yeah, it is getting better as
:48:57. > :49:02.the week goes on. Just a week ago, Damien was
:49:02. > :49:06.plumbing in showers and Joe topping pizzas and today we have return to
:49:06. > :49:10.see them take a class of primary school children for the first time.
:49:10. > :49:15.You are about to go in, how do you feel? Pretty nervous.
:49:15. > :49:18.Really? It will be OK, I have done plenty of prep work.
:49:18. > :49:23.We are going to make a school calendar.
:49:23. > :49:28.We filmed them teaching so the head can watch them at work and assess
:49:28. > :49:32.their skills. So if you were to to give him tomorrow tips, what would
:49:32. > :49:35.they be? Slow down. Give the kids more time to answer the questions
:49:35. > :49:39.and use the chair that's there for you.
:49:39. > :49:42.So what happens in January, weather wise? It snows. Brilliant, well
:49:42. > :49:46.done. Confident. Lots of use of his hands.
:49:46. > :49:51.This looks like a professional teacher. With a bit of training, he
:49:51. > :49:55.could be a good lad. Draw on there what you think Frosty
:49:55. > :49:58.needs to make him a finished snowman.
:49:58. > :50:01.If you were going to give him marks out of ten, what would you give
:50:01. > :50:06.him? Ten. Ten. Eight-and-a-half.
:50:06. > :50:11.Do you think he has a bit to learn? He has got two more things to learn,
:50:11. > :50:14.two-and-a-half. So an A minus for Damien, what
:50:15. > :50:19.about Joe? There are two pyramids on the board. Choose whichever one
:50:19. > :50:25.you want. When you are nervous, you tend to
:50:25. > :50:28.repeat the same word over and over again and we have got an "OK"
:50:28. > :50:32.coming out. That's a teaching stance, I am the teacher, you are
:50:32. > :50:41.the class, I am at the board, he needs to move into the kids from
:50:41. > :50:44.time to time. He is doing it now. Good. Good. Well done. Looking at
:50:44. > :50:48.how they got on this week, do you think they are cut out for teaching
:50:48. > :50:52.careers? Without a doubt. To want to take a
:50:52. > :50:55.lesson and also have it filmed, it is a credit to them. More than
:50:55. > :51:02.anything, they have just settled into school and been part of the
:51:02. > :51:05.team. Well, Damien and Joe are here. That
:51:05. > :51:08.looked brilliant. It looked like a positive experience. How was it?
:51:08. > :51:13.loved it. The school was great. The staff were brilliant. The class
:51:13. > :51:15.that I had were amazing and the teacher I was with, he was really
:51:16. > :51:19.helpful. It was a really good experience.
:51:19. > :51:26.Joe, you went in there not knowing whether you wanted to be a teacher
:51:26. > :51:33.or not. What's the outcome? Are you leaving pizzas? I can't really say
:51:33. > :51:41.that because my manager is watching!
:51:41. > :51:43.LAUGHTER What could happen?
:51:43. > :51:48.LAUGHTER It was lucky you did that scheme
:51:48. > :51:53.now! If somebody like yourself was going to leave pizzaland and what
:51:53. > :51:57.would you do? What's the process? signed up with the teaching agency.
:51:57. > :52:03.You can do that online and they rang me. They got in touch with me
:52:03. > :52:10.and put me on the primary experience programme, but to get
:52:10. > :52:14.into a career in teaching, you have to do the GTP, it is the graduate
:52:14. > :52:20.teaching programme which is where you get experience whilst you work
:52:20. > :52:24.and there is another way into it called the PGCE which is a primary
:52:24. > :52:28.post-grad watt certificate of education post-graduate certificate
:52:28. > :52:32.of education. That involves doing an actual course and stuff.
:52:33. > :52:38.What do you think Kirstie, because you have got two young boys who are
:52:38. > :52:42.primary age? Do you think male teachers are a plus or would you be
:52:42. > :52:47.happy for an all female staff? There is an amazing guy called Gary
:52:47. > :52:51.Wilson who does talks on helping boys achieve and boys need
:52:51. > :52:55.different things from girls and men are good at recognising what boys
:52:55. > :53:01.need and helping them with that. And we have a real, real problem
:53:01. > :53:06.with boys achievement. Girls are coming up and up and in all the
:53:06. > :53:16.GCSE topics, bar one, girls do better than boys. As a mother of
:53:16. > :53:21.boys, that can't do -- that can go Graham. There has always been more
:53:21. > :53:27.female teachers. But it is getting worse.
:53:27. > :53:32.What do you mean "getting worse?" There is no sisterhood when you
:53:32. > :53:38.have boys. All you want is for the boys to do well.
:53:38. > :53:42.Those women do an amazing job. All those age ranges in one room and a
:53:42. > :53:45.great teacher, a bit like the historian we were looking at
:53:45. > :53:49.earlier, that force of a personality can transform your
:53:49. > :53:57.interest in a subject. Let's hear from one little pupil
:53:57. > :54:04.that was in Damien's class. We can go live via Skype to Josh. Nice to
:54:04. > :54:07.see you. Nice to see you. APPLAUSE
:54:07. > :54:16.How was Mr Grant, Josh? You have a different name for him, don't you?
:54:16. > :54:21.Yes, Mr Great. And what did you most like about
:54:21. > :54:24.him then, Josh? Everything. Was there anything he didn't do
:54:24. > :54:29.very well? No, he did everything perfect.
:54:29. > :54:34.Do you think he should leave pizzas and come and work at your school?
:54:34. > :54:44.Yes. No question about it. Josh, thank you very much indeed for
:54:44. > :54:45.
:54:45. > :54:48.joining us. APPLAUSE
:54:48. > :54:49.Can we have another little look at Josh's room there because there is
:54:49. > :54:51.a lovely bit of disdressing on the door, Kirstie.
:54:51. > :54:54.And floral wallpaper. I am a big fan.
:54:54. > :54:57.If you would like more experience about the primary experience
:54:57. > :55:02.programme, we have put a link up on our website.
:55:02. > :55:09.Time now to see if Angellica succeeded in getting the last of
:55:09. > :55:13.the 60,000 snowdrop bullks planted -- bulbs planted. They had 500
:55:13. > :55:21.earlier, didn't they? How is the planting going in the dark? Have
:55:21. > :55:25.you done it Angellica? Hello and welcome back. Yes, hello, Graham,
:55:26. > :55:32.indeed. That was just for you Mr Norton! We have nearly planted the
:55:32. > :55:38.last of the 60,000 snowdrop bulbs, before we do that, I want to have a
:55:38. > :55:43.world with Ray Humphreys MBE, how do you think Her Majesty the Queen
:55:43. > :55:49.will feel today? She would be overjoyed and it will be a picture
:55:49. > :55:54.of colour. January to April next year, watch this space. 60,000
:55:54. > :56:01.bulbs, carpets and carpets of white. Who would realise that people would
:56:01. > :56:07.be sell blatting -- celebrating the Queen's jubilee in October? Down
:56:07. > :56:10.here, Pam, how are we getting on? Wonderfully. I have one last fat
:56:10. > :56:17.snowdrop bulb to pop in the ground and we're done. In it goes and
:56:17. > :56:22.that's it. That's it, everyone. We've done it
:56:22. > :56:27.It has been brilliant. There is one last thing we need to do. If you
:56:27. > :56:37.could pass me that. Ray, if you you could do the honours. We have a
:56:37. > :56:47.plaque here. This is from The One Show to the community of
:56:47. > :56:49.
:56:49. > :56:56.Shaftesbury. That's it from us. Goodbye, everyone.
:56:56. > :57:03.Planting and fertiliser. We have a present. This is
:57:03. > :57:07.brilliant stuff. It is bat dung pert liser -- fertiliser. I have a
:57:07. > :57:11.lot of this at home. It is in the ceiling above my bathroom. I have a
:57:11. > :57:15.house in Ireland I time share with bats. I get there and I thought,
:57:15. > :57:23.the bathroom really smells ammoniaish and I thought I really
:57:23. > :57:28.must clean this, do you see, I'm filthy. I realised it it wasn't me.
:57:28. > :57:36.I don't know what bats eat. It is all over the ceiling. You need to
:57:36. > :57:44.get Kirstie over to do a bit of decorating. I have bats too. You
:57:44. > :57:48.can't get rid of bats. Gosh. They go in your hair.
:57:48. > :57:55.If you have bats doing stuff on the ceiling, don't leave the lights on
:57:55. > :58:03.in your bathroom because that cooks it. As bad as it smelt before, it
:58:04. > :58:09.smells a lot worse afterwards. Graham, you have got a big birthday
:58:09. > :58:16.coming up. Can we mention that? have got bats. I'm 50.
:58:16. > :58:21.Will you be with the bats in Cork? What you don't want to do is, "Save
:58:21. > :58:24.the week." No one cares. It is your birthday, you get one day and it
:58:24. > :58:28.should be near somewhere you live. People shouldn't have to travel to
:58:28. > :58:38.your birthday party. It will be something in London.
:58:38. > :58:40.
:58:40. > :58:47.That's nice. And Kirstie... How old are you,y?
:58:47. > :58:51.- How old are you Kirstie? I am nowhere near 50!
