11/02/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker.

Tonight we're joined by a man who knows how to host a party

and make all his guests feel welcome.

Good evening my Lords, Danes, ladies, gentlemen. I know it's been

a very tough year for many of you, what with the shock of both George

Clooney and me being removed from the matrimonial market. Oh, thank

you so much. You've made one married man very happy, and another one

rather jealous. Can I say how deeply hurt I was that you didn't choose to

kiss me earlier, Stephen. Hey! . We are not expecting kisses, don't

worry. You can save that for Sunday night. How are preparations going?

Pretty well. Huber Gooding Junior is going to be here on Sunday as well,

so maybe another kiss. And it is Valentine's Day, so we are preparing

quite a few Valentine's Day themed bits. Cuba is on the show tomorrow.

With these global ceremonies, is it part of the brief to raise the odd

eyebrow when you are putting the script and gags together? For me the

most difficult thing is to relax people and humour is the best way to

relax people. I'm not somebody who is very good at offending people.

Well maybe I am, but not deliberately. As in being rude or

making people grasp, it's not quite my think. My mother always brought

me up to be excessively polite. That makes us feel comfortable. Yes.

After all, you correctly used the word host, although you actually

said hooost. But I am thinking of it like I am a host with a party on

Sunday, I don't want the phone to ring and somebody says they are not

coming. All the major nominees are coming, in some cases 6000 miles

from Los Angeles or 3000 from New York, or around Britain top and only

two cannot make it because they are working elsewhere. That's a great

testament to the BAFTAs, and nothing to do with me, but how the BAFTAs

have become an important fixture in the calendar. We will talk more

about the BAFTAs later. It seems that barely a week goes

by without news of another online scam and there are no lengths

to which the cyber criminals won't go in order to get

their hands on our cash. We sent Dan to meet those fooled

by the latest convincing con. The stock market is no longer just

the playground of city traders. Now all you need is the Internet to

start trading. You can even do it in your own home. There are scores of

websites out there claiming easy profits for one willing to take the

plunge. But there's no such thing as a dead cert, especially if someone

stacks the against you. This former teacher has learnt that, to her

cost. She's no fool, she's been trading successfully online for the

past few years. It was something I could do at home as I was then

coming into retirement, and I didn't have a terrific pension. So I was

looking, really, to earn extra income. A website called the Bridge

method seems to offer just the thing. It says its boss Jason Taylor

designed a software programme that does all the trading for you. The

site even has a live feed of successful traits, and videos by

users who say the software really works. ?482,000 in the first month,

and I'm simply blown away. Convinced, Lindsey paid in ?300 to

begin training on the currencies market. She soon learned Jason

Taylor's profit guarantee was worthless. To say that he is 100%

successful is a light. You are gradually losing more and more and

more. And then you will get the automated mails asking you to top up

against quite what happened when you contacted them, what their response?

You don't get a response. Sadly this is not the only trading software out

there failing to deliver. This site says its ground-breaking's system

has helped 50,000 traders increased their investment tenfold. Its boss

even appeared on an American talk shows. There are a limited number of

positions and we expect the hype to be very high. This senior investment

analysis is unimpressed. He says these websites trading something

called binary options, and each trade is just about. Binary options

trading asks you to bet money on the direction of a very unpredictable

market, either up or down. Depending on whether you get that bet right

money. So it's a really risky way of trading. This site offers a chance

to try before you buy with a free demo version of their trading

software. Any profits or losses are purely virtual, but Laith agrees to

give it a go. Surprise surprise we have won. Our Midas touch holds good

throughout the trial. We've won close to ?1000 and we've only been

sitting here five minutes. This is suggesting you can make profits time

after time after time in a matter of seconds. Using Picard do that on the

trading markets. It's not just the guaranteed profits that are bogus,

this is not a real talk show, and this is not the real boss. His only

real TV appearance was on Dragons then. He told us he had simply taken

an acting role in what he believed was a fictional promotional tool. He

says he's shocked it's been used to mislead investors. Disclaimers have

now been added to the website, but only after we contacted them. And

remember the Brit method? Boss Jason Taylor doesn't exist. This photo

pops up on lots of Taylor doesn't exist. This photo

it's likely the model has no idea how it's being used. And what about

those positive online reviews? Well, Lindsey is in for another shot, he

is actually an actor. I feel angry with myself that I was so taken in.

I feel a fool, a nutter. Quite the actor told us he had no idea his

testimonial was being used to scam anyone.

We contacted them but we've had no response. In the meantime if you are

thinking of becoming a DIY trader, take a tip from a pro-. If you come

across a website offering you profits without any risk, be very,

very, very cautious because that just doesn't exist.

That phrase is all too common isn't it - if it's too good to be true

If you want to check whether a trading company

is legitimate there are links on our website with advice.

This Sunday you'll be hosting the BAFTAs.

You've seen pretty much all of the films. Do you know any of the

winners? Absolutely not, they are all in sealed envelopes, controlled

by these auditing and accounting companies, all very serious, under

lock and key. In the late afternoon as the event comes, you see these

huge burly guards standing next to the table where the envelopes are

put out for the presenters to open and read the winner. Fantastic. When

you are presenting you still don't know. It is a complete surprise. Two

films have nine nominations, could one of them sweep the board? It is

unlikely, but you never know. Most bookies are offering very short odds

indeed on Leonardo DiCaprio for best actor. Very much the hot favourite.

And Dame Maggie Smith could make history, she has five already, do

you think she could go one better? If she does she will be the most

decorated BAFTA winner of all time of either gender, which would be

quite something. Awards ceremonies have been making headlines,

particularly the Oscars, for kind of the wrong reasons to do with

diversity. What do you make of that? It's an immensely thorny business.

Films, of all art forms, really do reflect the totality of human

experience. Fantasy, of course, and superheroes, as well as the dark

lives of many. And I think most of us would recognise that things have

got better, but that also then maybe haven't got as good as they should

be. As it happens with the BAFTAs, we are giving the Fellowship this

year to Sidney Poitier. That was decided last year. Nothing to do

with the current sort of frenzy over diversity. And he is a black

American actor who has forged a fantastic position for himself and

for other black actors with immense strength and dignity and passion and

power. So we are very proud to be doing that. And it's a coincidence

that this whole issue has arisen. But I think the most important thing

is that BAFTA does an enormous amount of work men touring young

people to make films, rights groups, winning them together with

established film makers. Because it will be the new generation making

stories about their lives, and we need to make sure that they can then

become BAFTA members. Because if BAFTA members are predominantly

white and middle-class it is because they have been the film-makers of

yesteryear. You can't actually expect BAFTA to go into the middle

of the cities and say, you can be in an academy member... You have to be

a film-maker to be an academy member. But the young people will

change it. A huge amount of work goes into the film-making and what

have you, but the event itself, things can take a turn for the

worse, all sorts of wonderful moments. As far as those vivid

memories of... Hang on a minute... What is the one for you? They tend

to be slips, and it is either me falling over which is always

embarrassing. Don't get me wrong but I've always found the female

obsession with heels peculiar. They are uncomfortable and to me they

look preposterous. Certainly I don't know any men who are interested in

them, only other women look at them, look at her heels... What? You might

as well wear something coming out of your ears, peculiar. When someone in

extravagant heels falls over, pardon me, but I do feel joy. We thought we

would help you get ready for the unpredictable BAFTAs.

We will bring in the audience can change the lighting, it's almost

like we are there. Hello, hello. There could be technicalities on the

night, so you just have to read the words on the screen, and there might

be some left out, so just fill in the blanks. Please welcome your host

tonight, Mr Stephen Fry. Thank you very much.

Good evening and welcome to the 69th British Academy Film Awards.

What a pleasure to be back hosting yet again.

I bet you're wondering how many times I've now hosted.

What a year for cinema it's been with huge blockbusters,

such as Jurassic World - in which the iconic

And 'Tyrannosaurus', of course, is Ancient Greek for king.

Or tyrant, as we would say. So it means kinking. Because Rex is also

King. And who could forget

the new Star Wars film? I enjoyed it so much,

as soon as I got home from the cinema, I watched all six

of the previous Star Wars films. I don't know one, two and three,

they were so awful. Four is of course the death Star one, the

original. Five is the best of them all.

Now, let's thank the first filmmakers in history,

the Lumiere brothers from France, whose first names

with the shock of Zayn leaving One Direction.

I do know that one. There will always be Harry.

Now, an obvious outrage is that The One Show inexplicably

Marvellous, a primary coloured beauty. Thank you all very much

indeed. Wonderful. Brilliant, thank you so much for doing that.

The BAFTAs will be broadcast on BBC One on Sunday night.

I'm sure it will be Thank you. While Stephen

I'm sure it will be revealing the big BAFTA winners on

Sunday night, one guaranteed recipient of one of

Sunday night, one guaranteed actually have one, it has just come

in. It is quite heavy. It will actually have one, it has just come

with their costumes including this rather fetching outfit.

We have sent Angela Scanlon to look through the country's biggest

dressing up box. Maybe it is a little number for Abigail's Party.

Or perhaps something from a galaxy far, far away. It is all here under

one roof. Started in eight team 13 as a second-hand closing store,

Angels is now the world's largest costume house. How did it all start?

My great, great, great grandfather set the business up in 1840. Act as

were responsible for their own clothes in those days. One day, one

actor said to them, I would like to borrow my costume, not by it. So we

started hiring. How many pieces are there in the warehouse?

Approximately about a million, give or take. This happens to be one of

my favourites, and also one of the oldest. Roughly about 150 years old.

And this is BAFTA-nominated Lady In The Van, I am guessing? This one was

not made for her. It was broken down to make her look like a tramp. The

shoes were my mother-in-law's. So she is very happy because she can

tell her friends that Maggie Smith wore her shoes. And these...?

Actually Del Boy and Rodney, which was an iconic piece of television.

It feels like these should be in a museum. You can walk around and find

bits of film or television history hanging on the rails. Really what we

are is the custodians of film heritage and television heritage

over the last 100 years. A highly skilled team run things behind the

scenes. The creative manager is Tim's son Jeremy. Eight miles of

costume, it is tidier than my bedroom, but is there a system?

Everything is chronological, from Edwardian all the way through. And

then colour and gender. Searching through these incredible creations

got me thinking about just how much skill is involved in making them.

They are all made-to-measure, so we have to incorporate people's

different shapes and sizes. We are currently working on a show about

when Victoria. We are doing some diplomatic tail coats and tunics. We

have got an original one here but the fabric is so old, it is what. We

are taking the old gold off and remaking the coats. The cost of

these now, if we did it from scratch, would be about 10,000.

There is a good sense of pride, when things are finished and they go out

on time. A year and a half later you see them on screen or at a party,

and you think, we made that. I could spend days just walking around here.

I do! So, how does it feel to have that contribution recognised by

BAFTA? It is amazing. We are really over the moon about it. Normally we

are always the bridesmaid, never the bride, and we never get recognition.

It is the first one and that makes it even more special. What will you

wear?! You will not be stuck for choice, with more than a million

pieces?! I think I might wear black. Understated! Well-deserved of their

BAFTA award which they will be getting on Sunday night. Now, many

of you will remember that Stephen made a ground-breaking documentary

about mental health, and his personal struggle with it. Ten years

on he is making a follow-up programme for the BBC's

mental-health season. Let's have a look at the moment you spend with

your psychiatrist. I have a dim memory of arriving here... You

arrived, let me remind you, sorry that you were still alive, and

wanting to die. And feeling that you should have died. From two years

ago, when we first met, just by being very depressed, you were also

extremely manic in your speech. You talked and talked and talked about

the purposeless of your life, your talents were meaningless and your

future seemed hopeless. So it was valuable to put you on to that

medication and to get rid of the alcohol at that point and look at

your mood state. And I can remember that, that I WAS in pain, but I

cannot recreate it. But I remember thinking it, and I meant it. How

difficult was it for you to invite the cameras into that situation? It

was not easy. The film-maker Russell Wilson, with whom I made the first

film, we called it The Not So Secret Life Of The Manic Depressive because

we wanted people to understand. Phrase manic depression was what

people would understand. Now, we use the phrase bipolar, and it is more

commonly understood. But I trusted Ross, is the point. We made the

first film and he was very keen, and the controller of BBC One was very,

very keen that the BBC should actively engage in helping spread,

you know, the word about the truth about what mental health is, as a

threat to people and families and to the country generally. I suppose, if

you are lucky enough, as I have been, to have had some success in

the world, and you have this problem that you have lived with, it seems a

small thing to share it. But it is a painful one, obviously. It is like

looking at a dark side of yourself. Even watching myself then, I could

see that I was less happy than I am now. It is a mixture of that

wonderful psychiatrist who I can honestly say saved my life, and of

course, the love of my life, my Husband, who has also saved my life,

I think, and medication, finding the right medication for me. What I

always want to say about mental health is, on the one hand, you have

to establish how serious a problem it is, if you have a condition like

bipolar, which I have, mine is bipolar one, or indeed bipolar two,

or any other kind, it can lead to death. It can lead to self harm,

suicide, but also any reliance on drugs, alcohol, things to take you

out of this terrible mood you are in, to numb your mind, which can

provide a slippery slope to more ill health and destruction of family

connections and so on. So you want to emphasise how serious it is.

Another part of me wants to shout out how you can live a full and

fulfilling life, which is in every respect a proper life, full of love

and hope and connection and all the other things. Two are not mutually

exclusive. But you have to recognise the first, the seriousness, and...

So it helps to be diagnosed? Exactly, it does. You do an

inspiring thing by talking about it, for so many people. Have things

changed over the last ten years, do you think? I think they have changed

enormously. It has entered what people like to call the national

conversation. People in schools... Just take self harm. I wanted to do

a programme entirely about that. When I was at school, I had never

heard the phrase. It had no meaning. I did not have any school friends

who cut themselves, for example. I have been to schools to give talks

or whatever, and I mention self harm, and kids, afterwards and

say... And that is not just in schools in the inner cities, where

you might expect some children to have difficult lives, whose parents

might be from split families, parents might have drug is used or

whatever. But quite literally the most famous public school in the

country, the most exclusive. I was giving a talk about one thing and

just mentioned are self harm, someone came up and said, yes,

actually, it is a real epidemic here. It is a real problem. What is

going on?! Can you imagine, you are a parent, you can see a child of

yours mutilating themselves? Something desperately wrong. Thank

you and it is really inspiring to watch. The Not So Secret Life Of The

Manic Depressive: 10 Years On is on on Monday at nine o'clock on BBC

One. There is a real joy in sitting and listening to a wonderful voice

tell a story. I have spent countless hours going up and down the M1 with

my children listening to your dulcet tones, with Harry Potter. So, once

upon a time, I cannot do it quite like you, but we sent Cerys to

publisher Rex Collins. Rex Collins said, I like your story and I would

like to publish it. I thought, crikey! From there on, the book has

never been out of print. One avid reader who fell under the spell of

the book during her childhood was our very own Miranda. I brought you

here to the real-life Watership Down. And it is a real place as

well. I was really surprised to find out! How old were you when you first

read it? I think I was about nine or ten. You read it on the fantasy

rabbit level. And then I came back to it as a teenager. Then you just

yet whole other level. You do not realise it you are learning a huge

amount about rabbit society and behaviour. The twitchers, the nose

and the ears, the scratching and the thumping. What is the legacy of a

book like this? If you look around here, I can imagine the rabbits in

this landscape. That is what the book does, it connects you not just

with rabbit society, but with the natural world in general. The book

has been unexpectedly successful, beyond my wildest dreams. I

sometimes wake up wondering if it is real. I did not plan it that way, I

just planned it for them. Richard Adams' masterpiece went on to

capture the Hearts and minds of millions of readers around the

globe. And to think it began as a story a father told for his two

daughters in the back of a car. Wonderful! Thank you for joining us
