11/04/2014 The One Show

A host of Morris and miners and Dolly, Britain's eldest barmaid. Are

you looking forward to meeting Paddy McGuinness? I would love one.

Welcome to The One Show. Dolly the delectable barmaid will be back

later on when we find out how she has been doling them over in

Wendover since the Second World War.

While she is here she might as well audition for a new show which

pitches younger contestants against older ones, it is called Amazing

Greys and it is hosted by Paddy McGuinness.

Welcome to the show. Hello, Paddy. Nice to have you back. In the new

place, lovely and very nice. We will talk about your new show later. We

are used to seeing you on Take Me Out with the young girls. Which do

you prefer so far? Amazing Greys. When I do Take Me Out, I just get

Lamborghini thrown at me. So it is nice to have a break from VAT.

Talking of different ages, this Sunday young and old will take part

in the London Marathon - other marathons are available. And tonight

we're challenging you to find one runner from each of the age groups

running this weekend. So we need one runner in their teens. Joanna

Gothard running for the multiple sclerosis trust. We have Paul

Friedman, running for Saint Francis Hospice, he is 89 years old. He has

been running marathons that 69 years. We need to feel -- fill the

gaps. One in their 20s. One in their 30s. One in their 40s. One in their

50s, all the way up to runners in their 80s. Send us a photo and put

your age in the subject line. Now to find out more of our guest of

honour, Dolly. Pouring the perfect pint is an

artform, but it helps if you have a few years experience. In Wendover in

the Chilterns, locals have been enjoying a pint in the old red lion

hotel for over 400 years. For most of the last century, they have been

served by the same barmaid. Dolly has been pulling pints since the

1930s. She is always jolly. She is the life and soul of the pub. There

is only one Dolly. With her 100th birthday just around the corner, I

wanted to celebrate. Dolly, how long have you been working in this pub?

Over 70 years. What is the best thing about working here? Meeting

all of the people, I love it. Over the years, Dolly has shared a joke

with more than just the regulars. Who is this? Sir Stanley Matthews.

That is me sitting next to him. There you go. That is a good-looking

chap. Piers Brosnan 's, he was lovely. James Bond. Since Dolly

started pulling pints, Britain has been through a world war and 14

prime ministers, but Dolly's tastes have not changed. Did you have a

tipple? W and tonic water. Is that your secret to success? To celebrate

her long service, we have arranged to have her portrait painted. This

artist exhibits around the world and paints using surprisingly quids.

This looks like my kind of art. These are the materials I will use

to paint a portrait of Dolly. I paint with alcohol and tea and even

things like that. When did you first get into painting with alcohol? When

I decided on my career, I poured a large glass of brandy and somehow

the brush ended up in the brandy and it ended up on the page. I start off

with a pencil drawing, get a bit of a likeness so hopefully Dolly can

recognise herself. Then I build up in layers. We use calligraphy ink to

pick out areas that will be blurred by the alcohol. Then we can start

adding layers with the alcohol and let it dry. It just gives a bit of

yellow colour. They create this interesting colour effect because

they dry quicker than water as well. You can really see that now. As he

cracks on with Dolly's portrait, the locals are keen to see how he

captures their favourite barmaid. She is lovely. She does not look

99, she looks like she is in her 70s, so I hope the artist captures

that. I hope they capture her pillow and just Dolly. I just hope they get

it spot on. After a few hours, a glass of whiskey and run, it is time

to see if Dolly approves. Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of The One

Show, and in honour of Dolly's 76 years of service here, I would like

to present her with her portrait. There you go, Dolly. What do you

think? I think it is wonderful. All painted in alcohol as well. Whiskey?

A little bit of whiskey in there and a bit of beer in there as well.

Congratulations, you deserve it. The very lovely Dolly is here with

us. Welcome to the studio. Isn't that a lovely picture of you? Yes, I

think so. What are you going to do for your birthday? They are having a

party at the red lion for May, which I think is very good. Do you get the

night off? I don't work on Saturdays. In 76 years you have had

some very famous people at the pub, including Margot Fontaine, what

happened when she came in? When she came in, my boss's wife said, "

Dolly, guess who is in" ? I said, " I don't know". I was cooking at the

time. She told me it was Margaret Fontaine. She told me to take my

whites off, when you have cooked her scampi, you can take it into her. I

thought that was lovely and we had a good chat. You have chatted to lots

of people, the boys from the RAF during the Second World War. How did

you keep those guys at day? They were very, very good. Someone would

come in the saloon bar and they would say, " Dolly, would you like

to make a date with me" ? They asked what day I had off, I told them

Wednesday. He said, " I would like to take you out". I asked where to

meet. He said, I will meet you up by the railway station. That will be

one of the boys. Some of the others would come in and say, " hello,

Dolly, what are you doing on your day off"? I told them I did not

know. And they would ask if they could make a date with me. So I said

yes. So they said, where shall I meet you? I would make the date at a

different road. Then another one would come in and asked to make a

date. And then I would say, meet me by the clock tower. When the time

came, I did not turn up to see any of them. You big tease. Your

favourite drink is a whiskey and tonic. We have a bartender to bring

it over for you. Welcome to Alex. Whiskey and tonic. Three cheers for

Dolly. Cheers Dolly. Hang on, something

wrong here. I will get another one for you. Dolly, what did you used to

say to the customers at the end of the night? I used to say, time,

ladies and gentlemen, please. Now is the time for you all to go home and

to go home to your feather beds. Perfect. Last week, Voice finalists

were in this studio singing their hearts out. But there could only be

one winner - Jermain Jackman. After his win Jermain isn't just hoping to

reach number one he's got his sights set on number ten. Anita has been to

see why he's on the way to being a very political pop star. Jermain

Jackman has an incredible boys but he is not your average talent show

winner. His ambitions lay beyond a sold-out arena tour. He wants to be

the first ever singing black Prime Minister. So I have come to hack me

to find out more about this fascinating young man.

Jermain. Welcome to Hackney. This is where I was brought up. How has your

life changed? It is surreal. I cannot believe it. You are an

aspiring politician, a lot of politicians have been getting in

touch with you? Ed Miliband, Ed Balls and I believe David Cameron

has said my name a couple of times and is interested in meeting up with

me. They are people I grew up with watching on television, and now they

are saying my name. Who are we meeting first? The Reverend and

going to church. Since the riots in 2011, Hackney has struggled to

rebuild its image. Hackney is one of the most diverse boroughs in the

country. This street sums up Hackney the meat. Brand-new apartments going

for a lot of money. And then opposite you have a council estate.

What do you think? As well as pumping money into these high-rise

flats, let's pump some money into the Hackney residents who have lived

here for over 30, 40 years. How important is this church to your

singing career? This place keeps me grounded and humble because I know

my gift came from God. He cares about people, passionate about what

goes on in his community. I have watched him growing up, he wants to

say to younger people, your script does not have to be negative, it can

be positive. My role is to promote positivity. So people looking in on

Hackney thinking they are just rioters, criminals and

troublemakers. No they are not, actually. We can achieve great

things. Islington arts and media school is where he met his mental,

Sonia. Tell me, was he a golden pupil? I was stunned when I heard

him sing will stop I said, do you know the song, I Wish?

Community centres are of vital importance which is why Jermain

volunteers at this one. He has been coming here for about five or six

years. He will come and play the drums and dance. Showing the

children it is possible to get to where you want to be. Why are places

like this important? It is the future of our community. We get to

know one another and grow up to be friends. Is that number one on the

agenda, bring back youth clubs? Definitely, people can learn

socially and learn what life is really like, being in touch with the

community. Coming back to Hackney, has everything changed? No, it is

the same Hackney and I am still Jermaine Jackman. People might

recognise me, but it is the same place. They were all brilliant. You

can now apply to audition for the next series of The Voice via their

website. And if you fancy auditioning as a judge as well,

because they are Kylie down, please go ahead. Very sad news. I have got

the answer - only. Get her on, get the gold hot pants on her, it would

be fantastic. Calm down, Paddy! Go on, Dolly! Now, your Amazing Greys,

which Jolly good audition for, starts on Saturday at 8:30pm. You

are pitting the young generation against the older generation, is it

like The Generation Game? No. I don't know where that has come

from. We do play big games on set and what have you, but the Amazing

Greys are made up of people like Sir Geoff Hurst, the only player in

history to score in the World Cup final. Then we have got a

67-year-old, five foot tall power lifter. She weighs about eight

stone. When she comes on, the young contestants think it will be easy,

and then they realise. It is a mixture of people. It is just a lot

of fun, but it will surprise people. Let's have a taster. What about

weightlifting challenge between 26-year-old and a -year-old? Are you

still feeling good? Yeah, I am roughly a third of his age. I would

like to think my strength outdoes his. He has clearly got the

experience and I respect that, but I am younger. I am more pumped for it

and I am going to take him down. Has he got you worried? He is a big must

wrong boy. He certainly is. -- a big, strong boy. Terrific

determination, but will that be enough to take on this man? It is

all about the speed as much as anything else.

It is a cliffhanger! We will leave it there. Watch the show if you want

to know. What was your challenge about working with the older

generation? It was not so much a challenge, but when I first met

them, they did not have a clue who I was, so it was about trying to gain

their trust. But like I say, we have got gold medal winners and world

champions, and they are so humble. They will be sweetness and light in

the corner of the studio. The young people come on, follow bravado. The

older people are very difficult to beat. It is about finding someone

who can take them on and win. We had one lad in a bike challenge should,

and he was 23 years old and he took on a blog called Derek who was 70.

There he is. -- a bloke called Derek. And he just beat Derek by one

metre after having a 50 metre head start. And when we finished

recording, we had to take a break because the lad on the bike, the

young lad was killing over and he needed gas and air -- he was keeling

over. Whereas Derek just jumped off. You gave away who won! Oh, yeah! We

also saw our very own amazing grey, Angela Rippon. She is your co-host.

She is. It is mad working with her, because when I was growing up, I

used to watch her on the telly and the news. Whenever you are in her

company and she is talking to you, you are just thinking, it is Angela

Rippon. You don't even listen. You just think, I'm working with Angela

Rippon. She is fantastic. She is like the team captain for the grace.

We have challenged you to find London Marathon runners from every

age group to fill in between our teen runner Georgina and our

89-year-old runner Paul. Let's put some faces on the board. The

presenting the 30s, we have got that covered with Debbie Hampton, 37. She

is running in aid of charity that supports families affected by the

loss of a baby. Representing the 40s age bracket, we have John Gray Shaw,

49. He is running for the NSPCC. We are still missing everybody else.

The reason is because our printer has broken. That is the truth of the

matter. Send them anyway. Now, Arthur Smith has been at it again,

having a sleepover in someone else's house. Tonight, he is

ruffling the feathers bed sheets of a British motoring legend.

This car gives a clue to the man whose house I am staying in tonight.

He was one of the richest people in the world and one of the most

parsimonious. Most of his fortune, he gave away. His name was William

Morris, and he kick-started Britain's motor industry 100 years

ago. He lived here in Oxfordshire 30 years until his death in 1963. It is

in the parish of Nuffield, and he called the house Nuffield Place. So

when he was given a peerage, he naturally chose to be Lord Nuffield.

He and his wife Elizabeth lived a quiet and comfortable life. Despite

his huge wealth, he was not given the spending much money on himself.

Look at his pantry. It is like a time capsule for the 1930s. He could

have built himself a palace, but this is the sort of home a country

doctor might have had. During his life, he gave away over 30 million.

Around 700 million today. He endowed Nuffield College in Oxford. He gave

a lot of money to Oxford University generally, to things like hospitals

as well. He was interested in medicine, education. Why did he do

that? He was just a nice bloke. I am guessing he was a punctual man. He

certainly liked a grandfather clock. In this hallway, there are four

grandfather clocks. This is Lord Nuffield's bedroom. And look under

here. The carpet is made from stitched together fragments of

Morris Minor car carpets. Morris's origins were humble. He left school

at 14. With capital of ?4, he sold bicycles from his mother's parlour,

but he had cars in mind, and in 1913 built his first, the Oxford Morris.

By the 30s, he was selling cars for as little as ?100. And he introduced

a cost cutter he had seen in America, the production line. Is

this doomed. -- is Nice boomed. I like to sleep on the houses of my

subject, because it gives me a certain communality with them. This

is the sun room, where Lord Nuffield used to sleep in the summer. And it

is where I am sleeping tonight. Good night. I have woken up in the middle

of the night to have a bit of a poke around to see if I can find what

makes this man tick stop and look what I have found in his wardrobe, a

whole workshop in miniature, with source, little players, hammers.

There is even a device for mending shoes. Anyway, I am going back to

bed. I don't think I would have been suited to Lord Nuffield's slippers.

I am not very good at saving and I don't even drive. I sailed through

my driving test. That is why I failed it. Lord Nuffield have a

favourite pastime, and every morning, he would pursue it. He

would nip round to the local golf course for a quick round. And not

just any golf course, James Bond told Goldfinger that he was a member

here. What a journey. From mending bicycles to becoming one of the

richest men in the world. It strikes me, if you have got a lot of money,

there are three things you can do. You could build a big palace and

have parties for your friend. Or you could park it in some foreign bank.

Or you could use it to help other people. And it strikes me that more

field made the best of those choices.

Lord Nuffield would be proud, because we have got some might live

isn't Morris Minor is together with some marvellous Morris Minor owners

-- some magnificent Morris Minor is. Bring in the first car. This is a

former postal and Telegraph worker, Paul Wood. He is 75 and his Morris

Minor Royal Mail van is here, with his former colleague Brian in the

back-seat. When did you get your Morris? 1992. Your wife was not

happy, was she? What the heck have you bought now, she said. She can't

stay out of it now. We have been down to Gibraltar, France, Germany,

Luxembourg. Next, we have Morris mad mum and

daughter Gail and Rohan Battison! How cool is this? Wow. Evening,

ladies. How Morris mad are your family? Mildly obsessed. Our loft

had about 20 gearboxes in it. And when did you start working on them?

My dad handed me an angle grinder when I was about eight. This is a

fantastic Kafir festivals. -- a fantastic Kafir festivals.

Onto the next one. Thanks, girls! Coming up next, we have the rally

Morris which opened the show in the spectacular title sequence filmed in

London this afternoon. Alan Smith has this. Where has the car been? It

spent 40 years in Jersey, trundling around. Then the owner decided to go

on a journey of a lifetime, from Peking to Paris. And where have you

been? I have been to the Monte Carlo rally three times in this car. And

car number four? It belongs to Claire Edgecombe and her husband

David. They don't have an engine, so Paddy is kindly pushing it in. Go

on, Paddy! Excellent job. Typical! Claire, you lost this, but you got

her back. Yes, my husband found her for me again after 30 years and I

bought her for my 50th birthday. And the engine was not even in it until

recently? It was working fine and I took it out on Saturday and then you

guys rang me on the Tuesday. Thank you for bringing her along. Well, no

cars left, so Paul and Georgina, let's have our marathon board.

Hopefully, we have got all the representatives of the decades.

Representing the 20s, we have Mary Moore. For the 30s, we have Debbie.

40s, John. 60s, we have got Ian Wood. And of course you, Paul,

representing the 80s. 70s, we still have a gap, unfortunately. Are you

all right, Paul? Which one do you fancy? None of them! Oh, good!

Paddy, thanks for being on the programme. Thank you to Dave

Comolli, and Kelly, who have been training me at Oulton Wanderers for

the match which is in June. And are you working with Peter Kay again?

Absolutely, but not immediately after. Amazing Greys is on Saturday

at 8:30pm on ITV. I will be back on Monday with Fern Britton. See you

then. Bye!
