:00:26. > :00:37.Hello. It's the One Show. Matt Baker and Alex Jones. There has been a
:00:38. > :00:44.terrible incident. It's the snowman, he has come to a watery end and we
:00:45. > :00:49.have no idea who has melted him. Listen, we are going to need a top
:00:50. > :00:54.detective to solve this. And we need him now. And he's here, welcome
:00:55. > :01:10.Luther himself, Idris Elba! APPLAUSE Idris, welcome. Hello, how are you?
:01:11. > :01:17.Thanks for doing that. A bit of acting there! Really impressive. I
:01:18. > :01:20.was feeling for the snowman. A big congratulations for your nomination
:01:21. > :01:26.for the Golden Globe. APPLAUSE Thank you. Was it today that you
:01:27. > :01:34.found out? I found out three hours ago. I was in my office. I was on
:01:35. > :01:40.the phone, and somebody tapped me and gave me my phone and said, there
:01:41. > :01:45.were 100 texts saying congratulations. It's a good
:01:46. > :01:49.feeling. I'm sure it is. The Duke of Cambridge today presented 160 Army
:01:50. > :01:56.medics with medals to recognise their work to help fight the deadly
:01:57. > :02:01.Ebola disease in Sierra Leone. We went on to meet some recipients on
:02:02. > :02:08.this significant day in history. When they told me I was going I was
:02:09. > :02:14.nervous as anything. If we get told to go out there we just go out and
:02:15. > :02:17.do it. I was nervous about going over there. It is something totally
:02:18. > :02:24.different to what we are used to as medics. We are trained to use
:02:25. > :02:35.rifles, not dealing with bodies and things like that. People were very
:02:36. > :02:44.nervous. The family were very supportive. There were some
:02:45. > :02:47.questions that I could not answer. The Foreign Office personnel sent
:02:48. > :02:51.their families home and just as they were doing that we were going into
:02:52. > :02:58.the country to face one of the most deadly diseases known to man. We
:02:59. > :03:04.were very well on the bus journey to the location and everybody seemed
:03:05. > :03:13.grateful for us being there. It was slightly tricky, wearing the suit,
:03:14. > :03:21.the cap, goggles, visors and blurbs. It was tough. -- gloves. It made you
:03:22. > :03:28.feel restricted about communicating with people because people can only
:03:29. > :03:33.see your eyes. I was always holding people's hands and trying to
:03:34. > :03:38.reassure them in that way. For those who we could not save, we consoled
:03:39. > :03:43.ourselves with the fact that we offered the best end of life care in
:03:44. > :03:48.Sierra Leone as well. I felt emotional. When I saw the first
:03:49. > :03:52.patient who was Ebola free going out of the facility, I was so happy I
:03:53. > :03:57.could have cried myself. It's a really nice feeling to know that we
:03:58. > :04:01.have possibly help that person. Ever so grateful. I was there for six
:04:02. > :04:06.months and I could see the difference, the changes. When we
:04:07. > :04:11.first went out there, there was a lot of patience, but as we
:04:12. > :04:15.progressed, the numbers went down and down. We had an interpreter from
:04:16. > :04:21.the beginning called Mohammed who developed a dance and we would do a
:04:22. > :04:28.survival dance for everybody who came out of the facility. I'm quite
:04:29. > :04:34.happy that we have done the work and Ebola has gone. We started to get
:04:35. > :04:39.ahead of the disease, it was like watching a City come to life comes
:04:40. > :04:43.you get up early in the morning. But instead it was watching a country
:04:44. > :04:47.come to life. The medals Parade today is a fabulous opportunity to
:04:48. > :04:52.put every individual who we could get hold of in the spotlight to say
:04:53. > :04:55.thank you and also a large number of family and friends travelling to see
:04:56. > :05:01.them receiving medals from the Duke of Cambridge. He kept in touch with
:05:02. > :05:05.the unit throughout the deployment, initially before we went and then
:05:06. > :05:10.sent Christmas messages and regular updates on progress. Not many people
:05:11. > :05:14.can say they have gone out and done something like that, people say they
:05:15. > :05:20.want to do something and help the world but I have actually done it
:05:21. > :05:25.now. Idris, we were just talking about what you did during the crisis
:05:26. > :05:29.to raise awareness. I tried as much as I could to raise awareness, and
:05:30. > :05:36.it is interesting because watching the film, ... Our focus on the
:05:37. > :05:39.awareness campaign I did was for the health workers and it was a salute
:05:40. > :05:44.to those guys because it is a thankless job, risking their lives
:05:45. > :05:49.every day. Seeing a lot of people dying as well. I wanted to do
:05:50. > :05:54.something for them to show that at that time when I did the campaign we
:05:55. > :05:59.needed more people. It was a film to encourage people to help. Calling
:06:00. > :06:06.health workers heroes. They are, aren't they? That is where your dad
:06:07. > :06:10.is from? My parents are from Sierra Leone and we still have extended
:06:11. > :06:15.family there, thank God they are safe. Obviously Ebola was close to
:06:16. > :06:19.me and my family. As well as those recognise that the ceremony today it
:06:20. > :06:25.seems only fitting to acknowledge the huge efforts made by the local
:06:26. > :06:30.community. Including great examples. This is George on a Bangoura who
:06:31. > :06:38.visited communities to provide counselling for those affected. --
:06:39. > :06:45.Georgina. And this man had to organise the huge number of burials
:06:46. > :06:49.in Freetown. And finally, this woman volunteered for the Red Cross having
:06:50. > :06:57.been treated for Ebola herself. You know of many cases like that, people
:06:58. > :07:01.who go back in even after they were affected? Once they had caught it
:07:02. > :07:05.people were not scared to go back and help others, that is such a
:07:06. > :07:11.beautiful selfless thing to do. Very brave. Many will not get enough
:07:12. > :07:18.credit. That is true. Thankfully it is now gone. The new series of
:07:19. > :07:23.Luther which we will talk about later is an epic, nail-biting
:07:24. > :07:28.2-parter. First the resolution of our own epic 2-parter. Which we
:07:29. > :07:32.started last night and we will now rejoin one of the world's top
:07:33. > :07:38.climbers Andy Kirkpatrick and his children as they embark on a wintry
:07:39. > :07:43.adventure with a difference. As dawn breaks the weather is looking
:07:44. > :07:47.unsettled. This morning we had an ice storm and it rained and now the
:07:48. > :07:52.temperature is dropping really quickly. We need to clear the ice
:07:53. > :07:58.from everything, skis and tense and everything. It's never dull in the
:07:59. > :08:02.mountains. At this time of year, they have just six hours of
:08:03. > :08:07.daylight. It's really hard to see what you are doing especially when
:08:08. > :08:11.you have huge gloves on. I don't know if he has picked up on this but
:08:12. > :08:15.it's nice when someone does it for you. They cover another eight miles
:08:16. > :08:26.and as they make it to the camp conditions are worsening.
:08:27. > :08:34.During the night the winds hit Gayle Andy has to try to stop the tents
:08:35. > :08:46.from being buried in the snow. -- hit Gail force. About midnight I
:08:47. > :08:50.woke up and the tent was almost completely buried under the snow
:08:51. > :08:55.which could mean that we would suffocate or the tent might break so
:08:56. > :08:59.we had to get up and spend 40 minutes digging the tent out and
:09:00. > :09:03.building a wall to have liked some of the wind. It seems to do the
:09:04. > :09:09.trick. The tent was only one third buried. Being buried alive in a tent
:09:10. > :09:14.is not on top of my list of things to do. Experience is like this are
:09:15. > :09:19.needed to build character. If someone said I was irresponsible for
:09:20. > :09:23.going to the middle of nowhere with my kids I would say that it was
:09:24. > :09:27.irresponsible not to. There is a risk but that is who we are, we are
:09:28. > :09:31.those people and we have to grow into people who can manage risks.
:09:32. > :09:36.Are you happy to go skiing on the ice? Yes. If anybody goes in, just
:09:37. > :10:01.pretend you are Bear Grylls! We have rock-hard, frozen salami and
:10:02. > :10:04.tomatoes. Is that good? No. In a four day loop the Kirkpatrick family
:10:05. > :10:08.are back on the edge of the plateau and only a day away from their
:10:09. > :10:16.starting point. The former Nazis atomic plant. Where are we going? We
:10:17. > :10:20.will go that way. This time there is no handy cable car to get them back
:10:21. > :10:25.to the valley but there is no handy route at all. I am not enjoying
:10:26. > :10:32.myself at all. This is great! Imagine walking in mud up to your
:10:33. > :10:37.knees. You think your foot is on solid ground and then you fall
:10:38. > :10:43.straight down to your thighs. Instead of taking five minutes it
:10:44. > :10:47.will take 15. I was really proud of you today, when everything was going
:10:48. > :10:50.fine you were horrible to me and complaining and whingeing and when
:10:51. > :10:58.things get difficult you suddenly snap into gear. Despite his
:10:59. > :11:04.challenges he can look back with a sense of achievement. These things
:11:05. > :11:10.will help me in future life. It is going to be windy so this has to be
:11:11. > :11:16.secure. In my day to day life I am not averse to risks, let's just
:11:17. > :11:20.experience it for what it is. After 22 miles and four days in freezing
:11:21. > :11:25.subzero temperatures they are finally making it to the former
:11:26. > :11:30.Nazis atomic plant. We are almost at the factory and we will try to sneak
:11:31. > :11:34.in like the saboteurs. Where is the door? It is just over there. The
:11:35. > :11:46.disabled access! Although getting inside is slightly
:11:47. > :11:55.easier now than it was for the heroes of Telemark. Straight into
:11:56. > :12:00.the gift shop! Absolutely. Well done to the Kirkpatrick family, I think
:12:01. > :12:05.it will stand them in good stead in the future. He is a great bloke but
:12:06. > :12:11.he's take them somewhere hot and sunny! Two and a half years since we
:12:12. > :12:17.saw Luther, DCI John Luther, and he was in a bad place at the end of
:12:18. > :12:24.series three. A little bit down. Is he happy now? Has he regained his
:12:25. > :12:29.lust for life? Is Luther happy?! We did want to show that he is a human
:12:30. > :12:33.being. Without spoiling it, at the start of this season we actually see
:12:34. > :12:37.the effects of what has happened over the last season. We find him in
:12:38. > :12:45.a place where he has too absorbed some rest time and chill out. He has
:12:46. > :12:49.had a lot of bad luck. Is the 2-parter a good thing? It was really
:12:50. > :12:53.good because we didn't have much time and we wanted to give the fans
:12:54. > :12:57.something else having left it in a bad place. You know, I have been
:12:58. > :13:02.saying in the press that I would love to see a film version and the
:13:03. > :13:07.BBC have been saying we should do a two our special. It is really one
:13:08. > :13:11.massive story and it's great. Here is a taste of what we can expect
:13:12. > :13:18.next week and despite the iconic code not being new, you have a
:13:19. > :13:23.Parker this time, it is still the same, really.
:13:24. > :13:31.Good afternoon, I would like to speak to George Cornelius please.
:13:32. > :13:41.I'm sorry, he's not in. Yes, he is. Hurry up.
:13:42. > :13:56.You rang, my lord? George Cornelius? You know I am. Come with me, please.
:13:57. > :14:06.Who are you again? Police. Which police? The police. It is as full on
:14:07. > :14:10.as ever and you watch trailers at the moment and they are graphic.
:14:11. > :14:17.When you are on set and when you see it cut together, does it even
:14:18. > :14:21.surprise you? Is it intends on set? It is intense, shooting in London
:14:22. > :14:28.and its very real on the street. When I see it back I am fascinated.
:14:29. > :14:31.Where did we shoot that? All of these buildings in London look
:14:32. > :14:36.amazing and that's what I love about it. It does surprise me. It's
:14:37. > :14:40.petrifying. I will watch this at home but I have to prepare myself
:14:41. > :14:42.because it is scary and I have to know when to drink my wine normally.
:14:43. > :14:52.Is it scary? Nation it is over two nights, the
:14:53. > :14:53.first night, and then the second night.
:14:54. > :15:01.We returned to form, the DNA which makes Luther a thriller, it is
:15:02. > :15:04.scary, all of the bad guys ask airy, you will be happy that there is no
:15:05. > :15:10.one sleeping under your bed this time! I cannot bear it! Now you can
:15:11. > :15:13.make the comparison between working here in Britain and also in the
:15:14. > :15:18.United States, because your career, it is going incredibly well over
:15:19. > :15:24.there, with movies, how do you find the two compare? This is home, you
:15:25. > :15:28.always feel a sense of... I don't know... You get a deeper sense of
:15:29. > :15:42.satisfaction when you come home and you have done well. America, they
:15:43. > :15:47.are so celebratory, the real winner. Where is here it is more like, hello
:15:48. > :15:51.mate! LAUGHTER You have got Finding Dory, you have
:15:52. > :15:57.got Star Trek, Finding Dory is the follow-up to finding Nemo, and you
:15:58. > :16:00.have Jungle book, that is a coup to be a part of that. Is there one of
:16:01. > :16:05.those you are particularly excited about? -- Finding Nemo. The Jungle
:16:06. > :16:16.Book, definitely. You are playing the Tiger! It is Jon Favreau, he did
:16:17. > :16:21.the first iron man film, and the second, he has done a new iteration
:16:22. > :16:25.of The Jungle Book, and he is a good director and a great actor as well
:16:26. > :16:32.stop what you have got to get your character across through your voice.
:16:33. > :16:38.They always say, Idris, come on. When you are playing a Tiger... And
:16:39. > :16:43.I'm crawling about, and they say, we cannot record you if your head is
:16:44. > :16:48.moving too much! LAUGHTER I loved it, and I wanted to do it
:16:49. > :16:51.because I have kids, my kids cannot see all of my films, so something
:16:52. > :16:55.like Finding Dory, The Jungle Book, they can see that. And judging from
:16:56. > :17:02.the past films, those characters will live on! Concealers on the 15th
:17:03. > :17:06.of December, 9pm, BBC One, second part, the following week. -- you can
:17:07. > :17:13.see Luther on the 15th of December, 9pm. As a fan of speed, we hope that
:17:14. > :17:17.you will like this next film, Marty is going to meet somebody who is
:17:18. > :17:21.hoping to go faster than anybody else on two wheels. VOICEOVER: Back
:17:22. > :17:25.in 1999, Richard Brown of Britain came near to the Bonneville salt
:17:26. > :17:31.flats in the United States to break the world record for the fastest
:17:32. > :17:40.thing on two wheels. He smashed it, travelling at almost 333 mph. To
:17:41. > :17:47.qualify as a record, he had to do it twice! There was a problem... We
:17:48. > :17:51.have blown the rear tire... On the second pass, disaster struck, with
:17:52. > :17:59.the rear tyre blown, his record attempt was shattered. As they say,
:18:00. > :18:04.that's all, folks. In September 2010, an American team raised the
:18:05. > :18:12.bar, and set the record at 376 point 363 mph. Now, after 16 years, he is
:18:13. > :18:17.back to try again. I believe that this record should be held by a
:18:18. > :18:23.Brit, it is a perfect great British endeavour, we have got to do it! --
:18:24. > :18:28.376.363 mph! The new bike is lighter, and it has an extra
:18:29. > :18:31.stabilising wheel, and tougher tyres, but it is what lies under the
:18:32. > :18:37.bonnet that makes this bike a potential record-breaker. Most
:18:38. > :18:41.motorcycles use, you know, a motor, to drive the back wheel. There is
:18:42. > :18:49.another way to propel something forward... Richard's bike uses a jet
:18:50. > :18:53.engine, similar to those found in commercial airliners, to give it
:18:54. > :18:58.more power, it has something called an afterburner. An afterburner
:18:59. > :19:05.injects extra fuel into the hot exhaust fumes, this fuel ignites, to
:19:06. > :19:10.create an explosive force, that will more than triple the engine's
:19:11. > :19:15.thrust. How do you feel about being strapped into a missile? And
:19:16. > :19:20.launched down a track! Reggie Dem nervous! But it is part of the job.
:19:21. > :19:25.Today, Richard and his team are about to test whether or not the
:19:26. > :19:33.afterburner works. When they tried it last time, it failed to fire, so
:19:34. > :19:37.the pressure is on today. It is a tense moment, if Richard's new jet
:19:38. > :19:41.reaction bike is to break the current speed record, the
:19:42. > :19:48.afterburner absolutely has to work. It all hinges on this. This is it,
:19:49. > :19:56.the moment of truth! Will be afterburner work? Only one way to
:19:57. > :20:15.find out. -- will the afterburner work? Only one way to find out!
:20:16. > :20:41.Richard! Well done! How was that? Absolutely fantastic! I am no expert
:20:42. > :20:48.but it looked like you got some afterburner! Yes, really really did
:20:49. > :20:51.it! It is fast before the afterburner, you go to the
:20:52. > :20:58.afterburner, it is warp drive! Today's test was successful, the
:20:59. > :21:03.afterburner worked, the bike reached 118 mph, but Richard will need to
:21:04. > :21:11.top 376 to break the record in the USA! If he does, he will be the
:21:12. > :21:17.first Briton to do so since 1937. -- 180 mph. STUDIO: Good luck! Good
:21:18. > :21:22.luck indeed. What we always try to match films with guests, we have got
:21:23. > :21:29.some which matched personally. This is the flying mile... This is the
:21:30. > :21:33.seven mile Beach, basically, I tried to make a record that Sir Malcolm
:21:34. > :21:41.Campbell owned for a long time, this is in Pendine Beach. It is doing a
:21:42. > :21:51.measured mile, one way that way, he did it 172 mph, I did it at 183 mph.
:21:52. > :21:56.The Bentley, that is like a bungalow on wheels! It is a bit boxy. I did
:21:57. > :22:02.not know they could go that fast. It is a very fast car, we were going at
:22:03. > :22:05.110 mph, and that is when it begins to hydroplane, echoes of the water
:22:06. > :22:12.on the beach, it is literally flying, but I went 180 mph! We had
:22:13. > :22:15.one shot, a helicopter, his downwind was pushing my car!
:22:16. > :22:24.LAUGHTER If I had known you were down there,
:22:25. > :22:27.I would have come to wave the flag! As Luther hits our screens, you have
:22:28. > :22:32.a character album out as well, you did this before, when you played
:22:33. > :22:39.Nelson Mandela, but a lot of people will not know what a character album
:22:40. > :22:46.is. It is a love letter from me, the actor, to the character, and then
:22:47. > :22:51.written in music. Well! It is also, my love affair with music, very
:22:52. > :22:56.public, and I was trying to find ways that I could do good work as an
:22:57. > :23:01.actor and as a musician, this is it, writing songs about John Luther,
:23:02. > :23:03.writing about the experience of being a murder detective, writing
:23:04. > :23:09.about the aesthetic of the show, writing a show about Alice. I met a
:23:10. > :23:15.producer, Fred Cox, talented producer, and we visualised Luther.
:23:16. > :23:20.We made it into... Not visualise, sorry we turned it to music. We got
:23:21. > :23:28.a very interesting eight track album. As a guest on The One Show,
:23:29. > :23:35.would you be able to music ... Could you put us to music, could you
:23:36. > :23:43."musicalise" The One Show? You would have songs about sofas... A bit of
:23:44. > :23:51.Elaine Paige musicals... Definitely! Neil Diamond. Soft rock, power
:23:52. > :23:57.ballads. Dad rock, and some food, because you cook every now and
:23:58. > :24:02.again. We should work on that, next time, work on that and next time
:24:03. > :24:09.coming and we will have a listen! Speaking of music. We sent Gyles on
:24:10. > :24:11.the hunt for some Christmas mood music and guess what, he ended up in
:24:12. > :24:23.the park! SINGING. VOICEOVER: While shepherds
:24:24. > :24:26.watched, one of the best-known carols, but near Sheffield, here,
:24:27. > :24:33.they sing it a little differently, and not in a church... The sportsman
:24:34. > :24:46.Inn, licence to sell an uncommon brand of Christmas spirit!
:24:47. > :24:58.This is a Sheffield Carroll in full swing. You will recognise the words
:24:59. > :25:05.from while shepherds watched, but the tune is totally different. --
