:00:21. > :00:26.Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones. And Joe Crowley
:00:26. > :00:29.who is giving me a hand because our Matt's in Edinburgh getting ready
:00:29. > :00:32.to start his rickshaw ride all the way to London for Children In Need.
:00:32. > :00:38.He's arrived there safely and he'll be watching so good luck from all
:00:38. > :00:43.of us here. Absolutely! Now, joining us tonight is a man who's
:00:43. > :00:50.used to behaving badly. He won't mind picking a pocket or two for
:00:50. > :00:53.his latest role. It's Neil Morrissey! Nice to see you. You too.
:00:53. > :00:58.Looking lovely in pastel blending in with our sofa. I didn't realise
:00:58. > :01:01.I would blend in so well. Good. Also Larry Lamb is here and with
:01:01. > :01:06.Armistice Day tomorrow and Remembrance Day at the weekend, he
:01:06. > :01:10.wants to honour the military heroes in your family. Send us a picture,
:01:10. > :01:15.tell us about them and we'll show some later in the show. Neil, the
:01:15. > :01:22.papers are doom and gloom with financial headlines. What do you
:01:22. > :01:25.make all of this -- make of all of this, some say we are staring into
:01:26. > :01:30.the abyss? I really don't quite understand the nuts-and-bolts of
:01:30. > :01:36.how it all works, apart from the fact that spaghetti bolognese has
:01:36. > :01:41.gone through the roof price-wise and the running of Italy. I don't
:01:41. > :01:45.understand it fully, so I'm interested to see what happens.
:01:45. > :01:48.are in the right place, we'll have the expert here. It's the day David
:01:48. > :01:52.Cameron said we have to keep the British safe to take it through the
:01:52. > :01:55.storm, meaning preparing for all eventualities. If anyone at the BBC
:01:55. > :01:58.can make head or tail of this crisis, it has to be Robert Peston.
:01:58. > :02:08.But before we speak to him, we've been on the streets of Bolton to
:02:08. > :02:09.
:02:09. > :02:14.see what questions you've got for him. Mr Preston, we don't have the
:02:14. > :02:19.euro, we deal in pounds in this country. Why should we be affected
:02:19. > :02:23.by what's happening in Europe? got a state pension and I've got a
:02:23. > :02:27.private pension. I'm just worried about the euro crisis that you read
:02:27. > :02:30.about every day in the paper. Will it affect my private pension
:02:30. > :02:35.because that's the only income I've got. I'm a first-time buyer looking
:02:35. > :02:39.to buy a property. Should I wait until next year or shall I start
:02:39. > :02:44.looking now to buy? I've seen everything about the euro crisis, I
:02:44. > :02:51.don't know what's going on. We just want answers. My husband and I have
:02:51. > :02:55.a holiday book ford May in Greece and we are very concerned about it.
:02:55. > :02:59.Will Zante still be there? Lots of questions there, Robert. Seems to
:02:59. > :03:02.me lots of people have a sense there's a problem and don't know
:03:02. > :03:08.exactly what it is. Yes. Can you break it down for us. What is the
:03:08. > :03:12.crisis and how did we get to this situation? Look, in the boom years
:03:12. > :03:17.before the crash of 2007 to 2008, lots of us, businesses, banks
:03:17. > :03:22.borrowed way too much and so did countries. Like Italy. The way I
:03:22. > :03:26.think of it is like this. Imagine that you've got a mortgage of
:03:26. > :03:31.�100,000, but you've got a weird repayment system and you've got to
:03:31. > :03:35.pay back a colossal �30,000 next year. But you haven't got the money
:03:35. > :03:39.in savings and you haven't the faintest idea who will lend it to
:03:39. > :03:48.you. In a way, that's the problem facing Italy because it's got to
:03:48. > :03:52.pay back 300 billion euros next year. In normal circumstances, it
:03:52. > :03:55.could borrow that from the well healed investors of the world, but
:03:55. > :03:59.now they're reluctant to lend to Italy. Now, the eurozone's got a
:03:59. > :04:03.bail out fund, but there's not enough money in the Kitty. There's
:04:03. > :04:08.not 300 billion euros in that Kitty to lend to Italy. So somehow, the
:04:08. > :04:12.money's got to be found and if it isn't found, you can't pay your
:04:12. > :04:15.debts, what happens. When Italy sat down with the bank manager and said,
:04:16. > :04:21.we want to borrow 300 billion, didn't someone say, well, how are
:04:21. > :04:25.you going to make these repayments back? I mean, how well do they look
:04:25. > :04:31.into these things, if you allow someone to go into thatch debt,
:04:31. > :04:38.surely you are going to want asset value, they could say OK we'll have
:04:38. > :04:43.Italy then? You know, you've hit the nail on the hetd which is that
:04:43. > :04:48.in the boom years, frankly investors, banks, perhaps in a way
:04:48. > :04:52.all of us took leave of our senses -- the nail on the head. Debt
:04:52. > :04:54.became something that you just had to have and you always thought you
:04:54. > :04:58.could get more when the latest batch of debt became due and it was
:04:58. > :05:01.what was wrong with the system. What about house prices then, the
:05:01. > :05:07.lady there said she's a first f time buyer, wants to buy a house.
:05:08. > :05:11.Are the price goesing to go up or down? The economic recovery in the
:05:11. > :05:15.UK is slow. In there is a crisis, that would damage the ability of
:05:15. > :05:19.banks to lend. There's no great reason to rush into the housing
:05:19. > :05:22.market right now. I mean, I've always taken the view, you buy a
:05:23. > :05:27.house if you are lucky enough to be able to borrow the right amount of
:05:27. > :05:31.money and it's something you want to have at that time, not as an
:05:31. > :05:35.investment. No need to rush in. Where do we stand from a pension
:05:35. > :05:39.point of view? Look, if you are receiving a pension, my view is,
:05:39. > :05:42.you are going to be all right. There would have to be absolute
:05:42. > :05:46.Amageddon in the eurozone for pension companies to stop paying
:05:46. > :05:50.what people are currently receiving. My own view is, there's only one
:05:50. > :05:54.country that can solve this problem, it's Germany, the deepest pockets
:05:54. > :05:58.of the eurozone. It's likely, not with any great enthusiasm, to ride
:05:58. > :06:04.to the rescue of Italy and the rest of the eurozone. It may be a
:06:04. > :06:07.painful way of getting there. won't improve their sense of humour
:06:07. > :06:11.will it?! That's almost certainly right. Obviously, if you are saving
:06:11. > :06:14.for a pension, you may have to put away a bit more because of what is
:06:14. > :06:18.going on and it's not great for the value of your pension. Thank you
:06:18. > :06:23.very much. Things are a little clearer now. It's a story we'll be
:06:23. > :06:26.following for the One Show so let us know what you think.
:06:27. > :06:31.With Armistice Day tomorrow and Remembrance Sunday upon us, we'll
:06:31. > :06:36.chat to Larry Lamb about the military heros in your Pamly.
:06:36. > :06:43.Larry's been to France to hear a touching story about a British
:06:43. > :06:47.airman's been honoured there since 1944. This is the Swiss Normand
:06:47. > :06:51.district deep in rural Normandy in France. In this quiet corner of a
:06:51. > :06:58.foreign field, lies a remarkable war grave commemorating a Second
:06:58. > :07:02.World War airman who's celebrated as a local hero. Every year, the
:07:02. > :07:06.residents of the village here gather together to remember his
:07:06. > :07:10.sacrifice. The person they're commemorating isn't from the
:07:10. > :07:16.village or even from this country. In fact, the grave belongs to an
:07:16. > :07:20.RAF pilot from Staffordshire named Earnest George Boucher. Boucher was
:07:20. > :07:23.killed during the Battle of Normandy, one of the most deadly,
:07:23. > :07:29.decisive conflicts of the second World War.
:07:29. > :07:33.Airman Jack Hodges and Frank Wheeler served alongside Boucher
:07:33. > :07:37.flying raitdz over France. For years, they have regularly returned
:07:37. > :07:42.to remember their fallen comrade -- flying raids. He was a quiet chap
:07:42. > :07:46.in actual fact. But he was well liked. He was quite a popular man
:07:46. > :07:50.amongst everybody. Yes, he was fun. How do you think he'd feel about
:07:50. > :07:56.being remembered in this way? think he'd laugh his head off.
:07:57. > :08:02.Really?! Yes, I'm sure he would. On June 6th, 1944, D-Day, the
:08:02. > :08:07.allies landed in Normandy to fight the occupying German troops in fans.
:08:07. > :08:13.Over the next two months, they moved south. In August 1944, the
:08:13. > :08:17.fight reached the head in the skies above the area. British typhoon
:08:17. > :08:21.fighter planes were sent to make sure that the Germans couldn't
:08:21. > :08:28.regroup. They were trying to escape to the
:08:28. > :08:34.north, 3,000 vehicles of various sorts, tanks, cars, gun carriers et
:08:34. > :08:38.cetera, finished off in six days by typhoons. It was the decisive
:08:38. > :08:42.victory. The tank divisions were decimated, the Germans wuth drew
:08:42. > :08:47.and the way was pave ford the allies to liberate Paris --
:08:47. > :08:51.withdrew. The heavy German defeat came at the cost of 50,000 allied
:08:51. > :09:01.lives, including pilot officer Boucher. His typhoon was shot down
:09:01. > :09:11.on 5th August by German cannons. He bailed out but didn't survive.
:09:11. > :09:34.
:09:34. > :09:39.In a wheel barrow. His mother dressed the coffin and draped it.
:09:39. > :09:48.The flag was needed to disguise the identity of the body. The German
:09:48. > :09:54.occupying forces were still in the village at the time. The Germans
:09:54. > :10:04.tanks and armoured cars were under the trees of the orchards. When
:10:04. > :10:07.they saw us with the French flag, all these people, they stood up to
:10:07. > :10:15.attention and saluted. extraordinary. It was quite
:10:15. > :10:19.exciting, I must say. Ten days after pilot officer
:10:19. > :10:23.Boucher's crash, the area was liberated. The villages continued
:10:23. > :10:26.to tend the grave and asked pilot officer Boucher's family if the
:10:26. > :10:30.body could remain in the village where they could look after it.
:10:30. > :10:37.They still remember him with an annual memorial organised by the
:10:37. > :10:42.Mayor. He represents much more than a single pilot. All the men who
:10:42. > :10:50.died during this battle and during the war, everybody remembers that
:10:50. > :10:55.this casualty means freedom. Almost all of the fallen in France were
:10:55. > :10:59.relocated to 600 specially built cemeteries after the war. It's a
:10:59. > :11:09.mark of profound respect that the industrialage fought so hard to
:11:09. > :11:17.
:11:17. > :11:20.keep his body where they could honour it. -- village fought so
:11:20. > :11:26.hard to keep his body where they could honour it. It's remarkable
:11:26. > :11:30.one of our chaps being brought here, it brought us all together. Let's
:11:30. > :11:33.hope we live long enough to keep coming back. I find it extremely
:11:33. > :11:40.moving the way the villagers remember the sacrifice of this one
:11:40. > :11:45.man and how he's come to symbolise all those who died in World War II.
:11:45. > :11:49.-- World War II. A lovely film. Particularly is here
:11:49. > :11:52.with us. Watching that, I was struck by how difficulties for
:11:52. > :11:56.families whose wartime ancestors are buried abroad. Is there any
:11:56. > :12:00.help for them? Yes, well the problem is, a decision was made by
:12:00. > :12:04.the government to bury everybody where they fell and you can, if you
:12:04. > :12:08.are the wife or the widow or the widower of a serving person who
:12:08. > :12:14.died in those wars get a bursary from the Royal British Legion to
:12:14. > :12:17.help you to get you to visit the grave. There is help available.
:12:17. > :12:21.Financial assistance? Yes, there is financial assistance for you and
:12:21. > :12:26.for a carer if you need it, so provision has been made. The next
:12:26. > :12:31.few days we'll see lots of memorial services happening up and down the
:12:31. > :12:35.country and one certain artist has been doing his bit, hasn't he?
:12:35. > :12:40.this artist, Ted Harrison, he's been putting together over the
:12:40. > :12:44.course of 11 months, up in the Shetlands this extraordinary piece
:12:44. > :12:49.of work that's all based on a picture of three children. It's
:12:49. > :12:54.about pointing out the fact that children are affected and used in
:12:54. > :12:59.wars all over the world and this thing, this extraordinary piece of
:12:59. > :13:03.work is 28-30 feet across and the idea was that it's all put together
:13:03. > :13:07.in 28 sections up there in the Shetland Islands where he's got
:13:07. > :13:10.space and peace and brought down to London, assembled there, this
:13:10. > :13:14.morning at 5 o'clock, and you can go and see this. You can climb up
:13:14. > :13:20.into the whiskering gallery. That is in St Paul's cathedral isn't it?
:13:20. > :13:25.Yes, 5,000 poppys to show you that extraordinary, extraordinary art
:13:25. > :13:31.work. Amazing what he did. photos are coming in thick and fast.
:13:31. > :13:35.Got time for one there? I've got one here, an extraordinary man
:13:35. > :13:41.called Aladdin Delay. He's handsome. He won his wings at the end of the
:13:41. > :13:47.First World War, in July I think it was. It was July 1918 and he was
:13:47. > :13:52.shot down in Bewley two months after he got his wings. That was
:13:52. > :13:57.sent in by Jan Cook and it's her mum's cousin, this man. A great
:13:57. > :14:02.photo. We'll have some more later, Larry. Brilliant.
:14:02. > :14:05.Continuing our series of films, we ask the sons and daughters of
:14:06. > :14:15.famous parents to tell us what it was like growing up with them.
:14:16. > :14:16.
:14:16. > :14:22.Tonight we find out about the lady who created unkl Bulgaria,
:14:22. > :14:32.Tobermory, Orinoco and Madame Cholet. Any idea who we are talking
:14:32. > :14:36.about? The Wombles. My mother had her eureka moment on Wimbledon
:14:36. > :14:44.Common on Boxing Day. We were making too much noise for our
:14:44. > :14:50.grandparents and my sister ran up to my mum and said, isn't it great
:14:50. > :14:54.on Womble don and my mum said, that's it. This is where she wrote
:14:54. > :15:00.many of her Wombles books. We started coming to Orkney for summer
:15:00. > :15:06.holidays in the 1960s when I was six and we came here every year.
:15:06. > :15:09.Mum loved the sheer beauty of it all that she and dad ended up
:15:09. > :15:19.living here and she swam every day every summer until her health
:15:19. > :15:22.failed, she loved it so much. I remember the move very clearly, a
:15:23. > :15:26.Womble-like plane. My dad wanted to live here but mum didn't. She was
:15:26. > :15:32.afraid of being cut off. Funnily enough, he ended up hating the
:15:32. > :15:35.place and she adored every bit of it. Later in life, they divorced.
:15:35. > :15:41.Island life suited her. It's a small community, only three miles
:15:41. > :15:47.long and one mile wide and there are fewer than 2,000 people so she
:15:47. > :15:51.knew everybody. This is our house. Very quiet here.
:15:51. > :15:55.The door will almost certainly be unlocked because nothing is ever
:15:55. > :16:00.unlocked here. This is my mother's writing room, the parlour where she
:16:00. > :16:08.wrote all her books. This is the typewriter she wrote them on,
:16:08. > :16:17.including the Wonlbls. Here we have the rest of my family -- Wombles.
:16:17. > :16:23.Uncle Bulgaria, my grandmother, and Orinoco is based on me, the laziest
:16:23. > :16:28.and fattest which my wife reckons is fitting. There was lots of
:16:28. > :16:31.publicity when the Wombles came out, the film and the pop songs of
:16:31. > :16:35.course. We were involved in a stunt in one film with them. She never
:16:35. > :16:40.missed England at all and certainly never doubted she'd made the right
:16:40. > :16:45.move. I hope that working here, perhaps I shall be able to produce
:16:45. > :16:49.a few more Womble books and we mustn't take it all too seriously
:16:49. > :16:55.which will make people laugh. That's what I want to do, literally
:16:55. > :17:00.go on make people laugh -- making people laugh. The Wombles hardly
:17:00. > :17:10.changed mum at all. She got wrapped up in island life, loved it all and
:17:10. > :17:10.
:17:10. > :17:14.much to my amusement, she became the station mistress. It is the
:17:14. > :17:16.most eccentric of railway lines, there are two coaches on the
:17:16. > :17:21.Northern Line operating on the island. Trains are always part of
:17:21. > :17:24.the life mum and I shared together. As a child, she'd take me to her
:17:24. > :17:27.Central Office of information outside Waterloo where she was a
:17:27. > :17:32.journalist and I used to watch the massive steam engines going in and
:17:32. > :17:35.out to Bournemouth and Exeter and places. It was very exciting and I
:17:35. > :17:42.became an enthusiast. Even before the Wombles she had a lot of
:17:42. > :17:48.success and wrote a TV series about an old branch line in Kent that
:17:48. > :17:52.would be closed. I maizingly, she dedicated it to Marcus, the Boy on
:17:52. > :17:57.the train, it's a hell of a thing to have as a souvenir. I had no
:17:57. > :18:02.idea at the time that that is what I'd do, run steam trains around
:18:02. > :18:07.Britain. The boy on the train, the boy on his own trains, and mum
:18:07. > :18:11.really loved that. Mum was an ardent rider. She was so
:18:11. > :18:15.excited when she was appointed an MBE and we went with her to get it
:18:15. > :18:17.at Buckingham Palace and hear it is. You can see, when she and the Queen
:18:17. > :18:22.were chatting, they were very animate and clearly the Queen knew
:18:22. > :18:27.a lot about the Wombles and mum said afterwards she was clearly a
:18:27. > :18:31.fan, asking questions about Uncle Bulgaria. Everyone else seemed to
:18:31. > :18:38.get a few second on the chat and mum was so chuffed that the Queen
:18:38. > :18:42.loved it. Mum wanted to make people laugh ultimately and I think she
:18:42. > :18:52.did. She's still making people laugh and will go on making people
:18:52. > :18:53.
:18:53. > :18:58.laugh. Thanks to Elisabeth's son for making that film for us.
:18:58. > :19:05.Now Neil, fresh from rehearsals of Oliver. Yes. You are playing Fagin,
:19:05. > :19:10.how is it all going? Brilliantly. It's a whole new cast. It's the
:19:10. > :19:14.production that was in London and when I get the opportunity to watch
:19:14. > :19:20.sit back and watch the work other people have done, it's magic.
:19:20. > :19:25.Playing Fagin is I think one of THE best parts ever in a British
:19:25. > :19:29.musical and he's a fantastic part to play. He's a scene-stealer.
:19:29. > :19:34.real character. I can see you revel in that completely. It's brilliant
:19:34. > :19:38.fun. I get all my scenes with the boys as well and they're all great.
:19:38. > :19:42.The only problem is I've got three different Olivers and three
:19:42. > :19:45.different Dodgers because the kids of the age group are not allowed to
:19:45. > :19:50.work and can't do consecutive shows so they're different Olivers so.
:19:50. > :19:56.When I run through picket pocket, I do it three times with different
:19:56. > :20:00.sets of boy, hence why the thighs are burning. That will keep you on
:20:00. > :20:04.your toes. 11 venues, Leeds, Bristol, you are starting in
:20:04. > :20:08.Cardiff. Are you ready for months of living out of a suitcase?
:20:08. > :20:12.won't be that much because I don't like doing hotels or guest houses
:20:12. > :20:16.and there will be six weeks Cardiff, six weeks Manchester and four weeks
:20:16. > :20:21.Birmingham so I pack the car up with my own pots and pans and
:20:21. > :20:25.knives... Really, a travelling home? And we take the house down
:20:25. > :20:32.there, the dog, the beloved, we all go fpltz Fagin is a great character
:20:32. > :20:38.to play, but he will require a lot of transforming, because he's quite
:20:38. > :20:42.a dark character? Yes, slightly bent and ratty. Do you enjoy the
:20:42. > :20:46.transformation process? Every actor loves it. The whole idea of being
:20:46. > :20:54.the ka immediate-on is fantastic. The process will take an hour-and-
:20:54. > :20:59.a-half every night because I have a bald wig and a wig. There he is! --
:20:59. > :21:03.chameleon. It's a seven piece beard and there is so much stuff going on.
:21:03. > :21:08.You made a documentary about your time in care as a child. That
:21:08. > :21:10.sparked it as a ten-year-old when you were caught stealing. There are
:21:10. > :21:14.some Oliver Twist echoes here aren't there? There are. We have
:21:14. > :21:17.talked about it with the kids because they're normal kid and
:21:17. > :21:21.trying to instil in them what the attitude would have been towards
:21:21. > :21:24.them and the stigmas would be attached to street children in the
:21:25. > :21:30.Dickensian era. Dickens himself was a great social reformer so the
:21:30. > :21:33.whole idea of putting this as a serialised as most of his books
:21:33. > :21:38.were, in serialised newspapers to give people an idea of what was
:21:38. > :21:42.going on in the streets of London, it's been useful. I want to no know
:21:42. > :21:49.about your singing. Sometimes you see musicals and people have a good
:21:49. > :21:54.voice when they're singing and then when they are acting. I have had
:21:54. > :22:01.three number ones. Give us a blast. I've been rehearsing all day though.
:22:01. > :22:05.I know what you feel like! Like being behind a piano, dance, monkey,
:22:05. > :22:09.dance! Oliver starts in Cardiff from 10th December, I might hop
:22:09. > :22:13.down and see you actually. Eight days until Children In Need when
:22:13. > :22:18.Matt will hopefully finish his rickshaw challenge. Big challenge
:22:18. > :22:22.it is too. Tomorrow we'll join him live as he finishes the first stage
:22:22. > :22:28.of his journey from Edinburgh to London. If you can, please donate
:22:28. > :22:38.by texting the word Matt to 70705. Messages cost �5 plus your network
:22:38. > :22:40.
:22:40. > :22:44.charge and �5 does go to Children In Need. If Matt ever needed a
:22:44. > :22:47.reminder of why all the pedalling will be worth it, here is Jono
:22:47. > :22:53.Lancaster on a charity that's very close to his heart. How would you
:22:53. > :22:59.feel if everywhere you went, people just stared at you. All of the
:22:59. > :23:02.time? This has been a reality for me if all my life. But I'm not
:23:03. > :23:07.alone. Half a million people in the UK have some facial disfigurement
:23:07. > :23:12.of some kind. 15-year-old Lucas was born with a syndrome which affects
:23:12. > :23:17.him in a number of ways. One of which is a formation of the bone
:23:17. > :23:21.structure in his face. When was the first time you realised that you
:23:21. > :23:24.looked different to everybody else? Probably the first day that I went
:23:24. > :23:29.to primary school. There was one girl who asked me, what's wrong
:23:29. > :23:35.with your face. Did you have any friend at primary school? I did
:23:35. > :23:43.have some, but they, some of them, sort of turned on me, they just
:23:43. > :23:46.suddenly became bullies as well. It was probably about a week after
:23:47. > :23:50.joining school, he came home with broken glasses, they'd been knocked
:23:50. > :23:55.off. He'd tell us that he'd been caught in the corridor and
:23:55. > :24:02.surrounded by older children who wanted to know what was wrong with
:24:02. > :24:06.him. I was punched, kicked, spat on, taunted with nasty names. How bad
:24:06. > :24:12.did it get? There was one time when I was nine and I had years of it
:24:12. > :24:21.and I just felt so distressed and upset about it that I just left and
:24:21. > :24:26.I never really went back. The bullying affected Lucas so
:24:26. > :24:30.badly that he was at home for the next nine months. His only friend
:24:30. > :24:35.was his brother Morgan, who was seven at the time. That's a feeling
:24:35. > :24:39.I can identify with, being cut off. Due to my condition, the way I look,
:24:39. > :24:43.I do stand out from the crowd and, you know, there's been times when I
:24:43. > :24:49.have been an easy target for bullies that's left me feeling
:24:49. > :24:54.isolated and almost like it's me against the world. As I've got
:24:54. > :25:02.older, I've learned to be proud of the way I look and I love looking
:25:03. > :25:07.the way I do and I love being me. It took me 20 years to be confident
:25:07. > :25:11.in myself. But Lucas was only at the start of that journey when his
:25:11. > :25:15.family contacted Changing Faces, a charity that offers counselling and
:25:15. > :25:19.support to help adults and children come to terms with face and body
:25:19. > :25:24.disfigurement. They treated the whole thing as a
:25:24. > :25:29.family problem, as a family event. They supported Lucas and they
:25:29. > :25:32.supported us. Changing Faces persuaded Lucas and
:25:32. > :25:39.his family that with their help it was possible to make a fresh start
:25:39. > :25:42.at a new school which had a zero tolerance to bullying.
:25:42. > :25:46.The figures show that something like nine out of ten people that
:25:46. > :25:49.contact our service are being bullied and of them, about a fifth
:25:49. > :25:53.are not being schooled in school. It's really important that we get
:25:53. > :25:58.in early to help the school to help the individual and to help the
:25:59. > :26:01.family. The work of the school, alongside the charities and
:26:01. > :26:05.councils has certainly paid off. So you are feeling a lot more
:26:05. > :26:10.confident in yourself? Definitely now I'm at a school that has zero
:26:10. > :26:20.tolerance and I have a great group of friends who're supportive of me
:26:20. > :26:22.
:26:22. > :26:27.and I've got a great social life. Over the recent few months or even
:26:27. > :26:31.the past year, have you noticed a change in Lucas? He's become a lot
:26:31. > :26:35.more confident. If somebody was to ask you if you could change your
:26:35. > :26:39.appearance, what would you say to them? No, I'm fine with the way
:26:39. > :26:43.that I look because that's mostly down the changing face who is've
:26:43. > :26:47.really helped me through all the bullying. Thanks to your donations
:26:47. > :26:53.for Children In Need, projects like these can offer counselling and
:26:53. > :26:59.support to make life better for children like Lucas. That's why
:26:59. > :27:05.Mike's riding a lick Shaw 480 miles from Edinburgh to London in just
:27:05. > :27:09.eight days -- Matt. -- rickshaw. Please do give what you can.
:27:09. > :27:17.Matt will be starting at 6am tomorrow morning outside Edinburgh
:27:17. > :27:23.Castle then making his way over the Moorfoot Hills through Innerleithen
:27:23. > :27:27.and then arriving in Hawick. Matt wants you to support him, give him
:27:27. > :27:32.a flap jack or something. These times on the map are only a rough
:27:32. > :27:37.guide, as we have no ideas what challenges he'll face on the way.
:27:37. > :27:41.For up-to-the-minute GPS detail of where he is, you can go to
:27:41. > :27:45.www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey. Earlier, we asked for photos of the military
:27:45. > :27:49.heros in your family and Larry Lamb has picked a few to honour this
:27:49. > :27:52.evening. What have you got for us? It's extraordinary. The e-mails
:27:52. > :27:56.have been coming in thick and fast. Look, these are three here that
:27:56. > :28:00.really sort of struck me as being ones that stand out. This is a
:28:00. > :28:04.picture of great grandad John Samuel Davids from South Wales who
:28:04. > :28:09.fought with the Royal Artillery, the 77th heavy artillery I believe.
:28:09. > :28:19.He was capture bid the Japanese and killed while being transported
:28:19. > :28:20.
:28:20. > :28:28.aboard the PoW ship. Danny Davies sent that in. Here, we have John
:28:28. > :28:33.Henry Venables, a leading stoker on HMS Indomitable and he was killed
:28:33. > :28:36.as part of HMS Pedestal to relieve the blockade of Malta. It was
:28:36. > :28:39.bombed twice and survived until health service scrapped. I think we
:28:39. > :28:44.are going to have to leave it there because we are running out of time.
:28:44. > :28:48.Thanks so much. That's all for tonight. Neil will be touring the
