11/06/2014 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones.

Tonight you can forget The Tiger Who Came To Tea

as we meet the British zookeeper who decided to bring two tigers home for

breakfast, dinner and tea to hand rear them like they were his own.

We'll also be exploring why grown men who shoud probably know better

are cleaning out newsagents of footie stickers up and

And meeting a man who is just four short of completing every World Cup

Also more live music from Gregory Porter, who will be joining the rest

Our guests tonight, the man who presents Mock The Week,

It is Dara O'Briain. Nick, is this the time when you usually getting

up. This is normally when I am watching the show. It is the only

time we get to spend together. watching the show. It is the only

time we get to spend He works late nights and you get up early. So it

is perfect. And Nick said his mother would be disappointed because he is

wearing ripped jeans. I should have worn a better outfit. I am really

sorry. She will be furious. And Mock The Week is back. Nobody will watch

it, it crashes with a football match. -- clashes. And you have got

England in the office sweepstakes. I got Mexico. I said you would not be

happy with England at being Irish. Martin McGuinness, the head of Sinn

Fein got it! Far more amusing! But I got Mexico. Nick, you excited about

football? I do not really like sport. I do like Wimbledon.

football? I do not really like sport. I do like I will jump on the

bandwagon. Now, after a Court of Appeal ruling

today, airlines may no longer be able to use 'technical faults' as a

blanket excuse to avoid compensating The decision could open

the floodgates for thousands of passengers who have been delayed

in the past. Tony Livesey's been to meet

the man who took on the airline. Ron from Stockport started legal

action after his flight home from Malaga to Manchester was delayed for

27 hours. He claims the delays were within the control of the airline

and he should be compensated. But, despite winning his case, they

refuse to pay up and appeal to the High Court. Ron, his wife

granddaughter went to Spain on holiday in October 2011. Let's start

at the beginning. Tell us what happens. We turned up at the airport

at 4pm to catch a 6:20pm flight. When the plane landed, we realised

they would not let us board. They told us there was a problem with it.

It got worse and worse. We were taken to hotels. How did you feel

about the way you were treated? We were quite frustrated. There was not

much we could do. We stayed in the airport the next day. We got back to

Manchester after a delay of 27 hours. Current regulations allowed

British passengers to claim compensation of 400 euros per person

if European flight is delayed by more than 24 hours. The exception is

if it is caused by an extraordinary circumstance. It is claimed a wiring

defect was just that and refuse to pay up. After three years fighting

his case, the decision rests with the Court of Appeal. Tomorrow they

will decide if he is entitled to compensation or not. Have you given

much thought of how you will react if you lose tomorrow? After this

length of time and all this effort I would be very upset if I did not win

the case. I would be devastated. It is 6:30am on Wednesday morning and I

am joining Ron as he makes his way to London to hear the verdict. His

solicitor is hopeful of a positive result. This is being looked at in a

Dutch court and at European level. Each of those courts has said it is

not an exceptional circumstance. Airline carriers should have a

system in place to make sure they can deal with it when it happens.

Over 1.8 million passengers are affected by flight delays of three

hours of more -- or more every year. Will the ruling be in his favour?

The airlines could be facing a bill of up to ?6 billion. You are just

moments away from hearing the verdict. How do you feel? Confident

but apprehensive. It is a nervous time. After 30 minutes, Ron comes

out of court and seems to be smiling. It is all over. What

happened? We have the decision we wanted. It is unbelievable. It means

everything. The compensation itself is only a small amount but it is

irrelevant. It was a point of principle. I am glad that the judges

have come down so emphatically on my side.

They say it will have serious implications for the aviation

industry and they are appealing to the Supreme Court. The judgment is

40 pages. It says, if a plane breaks, it is tough luck on the

airline. They have to compensate the passengers. It is said they cannot

appeal to the courts. Up to ?6 billion in compensation for flights

that have occurred since 2008. We can now go back six years. How do

you claim? How do you get the money back? It has to be three hours late

arriving at your destination. You approach the airline and asked if

you can have your money. The airline will probably say, we have two have

information like the boarding pass from your original flight. You can

go back to your lawyer. There are no win, no fee lawyers who will take a

slice of your winnings. You can proceed yourself through the Small

Claims Court online. There could be ?500 for a long haul flight. I kind

of worry about the safety implications of theirs. If it was a

loose wire, they might just risk it. There are figures in aviation who

have been expressing privately that concern. Let's make it clear, UK and

Ireland have absolutely astonishing levels of safety. There is no

question any pilot with the part if there were any issue with it. They

are very professional. You can envisage circumstances, maybe a

small foreign airline and it is a 50/50 call and the pilot may think,

we are not completely happy with it but if you have the office on the

phone saying, unless you get out in five minutes it will be ?100,000 we

have to pay all the passengers, you can envisage a captain perhaps

taking a chance. Aviation is incredibly safe but that is a worry.

The ?6 billion has to come from somewhere and it will come from

passenger fares, as will the cost of having warplanes on stand-by to

limit the damage if there is delay in the future. Can you cash in? Have

you been delayed? I cannot remember. Will it create an industry like the

PPI industry? The top whack you can get is ?500. There are already, and

you can expect over the next 24, 48 hours, the no-win, no fee industry

to get going. There are also reasons from strikes to air-traffic control

where you will not get anything. It from strikes to air-traffic control

is only a fair bit of from strikes to air-traffic control

broken and the airline has said, it was not our fault. You can now say

it was your fault. Thank you. Now, most people like to have

a say about what's going on in the world around them and now you have

a real chance to make a change. If you like the idea

of being involved in making a decision that could shape

scientific innovation and also allow you to have a say in how ?10 million

is to be spent, then keep watching. Antibiotic resistance, dementia

care, flight emissions, food, paralysis or fresh water. The

question is, which of these six problems most deserves the attention

of Britten 's greatest scientific minds? These are the Caledonian

crashers, a Scottish wheelchair rugby team. Wheelchairs are the

ticket of freedom, mobility and fun. What would it mean if technology

could offer them the chance to stand and walk tall again? Living with a

spinal injury, it is difficult for day-to-day life. This money can be

so well spent on new cutting-edge technologies to help people with

spinal injuries. Why should anybody phone and text? Because it will help

people like me. It will change our lives. Antibiotics play a key part

in our lines. This man learned the importance when his father became

seriously ill. You'll I have seen the power of antibiotics. My own

father had a very serious infection. -- I have seen. He is now 93. He is

as healthy as they come. That is the power of antibiotics. This category

is so important it will not affect just today 's generation but

generations for years to come dashing your children your

grandchildren. It is important that we treat these bacteria with

respect. At this depot in Glasgow, food that would normally go to waste

is rescued and redistributed to people who are malnourished. It is

on peoples doorsteps. The investment would seek a true Matic change, if

not and a redneck -- H Matic change, if not an eradication.

Millions of lives could be transformed in the UK and worldwide.

John and his friends love to socialise and have fun. Winning the

next game of French bowls is not the only thing on their minds. In Ayou

need the support of all the people together. That is important for

dementia. -- you need the support. So many people have got the problem.

And investment of ?10 million will make a dramatic difference. This

water engineer has worked for 40 years on projects as far afield as

Nigeria and Mozambique. He has seen first-hand how important it is to

have access to clean water. I have been working with water all my life.

I have experienced situations throughout the world. One of the

things that desperately needs attention and money could possibly

solve is to identify a simple, cheap way of testing the quality of water.

We need this to convert dirty water into freshwater, soapy water into

freshwater. Ed Hewitt is passionate about the environment and has been

exploring low carbon energy. In years. We are flying in and carbon

emissions have played a great part in my life. I have worked in the low

carbon energy industry and been a really keen traveller. That has

involved taking lots of flights. How do you balance that? We have already

managed to put these flying pieces of metal into the sky. You can keep

them in the sky in a low carbon manner and that will be a fantastic

achievement. Which problem do you choose? To vote, or you need to do

is text... Put your choice at the beginning of the text. Texts will be

charged at a standard rate or you can vote for free on the website.

You will find lots more information including terms and conditions.

Voting closes at 7:10pm on 25th of June. The result will be allowed --

announced live on the programme. How do you choose? It is a tough

decision. You would have to do research and figure out how the

money would be used. I am immediately drawn to water because

that is a basic need. It can affect so many people. It affects everyone.

There are problems like water and food which are fundamental and then

specific problems. There is an interesting baked to be had about

all of this. -- debate. There is a history and science of prizes being

awarded. The is also a huge nautical issue of where we are on the planet

and that was solved by a clockmaker and basically we still use his

technology today in wristwatches. My dream was also invented as part of

rise. Napoleon looked for a cheap alternative to butter to feed the

armies and feed the poor. Commercial space flight, there is another prize

for that. So this tradition goes back centuries, offering this prize

and throwing it out there. And people then using the prize as a

catalyst for the ideas. We have shown six basic areas and people can

vote on that. It is a straightforward citizens science

thing. We know that millions of people get involved. And we will

have the results on this show. And then the organisers, those who look

after the money, they will look at the field chosen and find a specific

problem. Some of them are already specific. Carbon emissions for

example. The ones with food and water would need to be nailed down

more in terms of a specific problem. But you define the issues and then

work towards a solution. If someone is watching and think they could

have a solution, what would they do? They would contact the

government body who look after these kind of things. Nesta. That is the

government body. When the show came on I worked on twitter and a lot of

people started to argue. There is a lot of discussion going on. Some of

these problems are solved sometimes with a very cheap solution. One of

the most life-saving things is a check list for surgery. A system was

brought in when all surgeons must pause before they put in the life.

And that has basically allowed an elimination of simple human error

that can accumulate in a high-pressure environment and it

costs nothing. So sometimes it can be the most simple idea. Just a

reminder for people to wash their hands to stop the spread of bugs in

hospital. It can be just a simple idea that can have an enormously

beneficial effect. And of course you can vote for the issue you think is

the most important. All the can vote for the issue you think is

information on how to do that is on the website. Viewers have been

getting in touch and demonstrating why they should represent different

countries on the World Cup wall chart! It is beautiful. Here we are.

This is Dave Jackson. He would like to represent Spain. He says no one

This is Dave Jackson. He would like expects the Spanish Inquisition!

This is Maggie Williams who is supporting Ghana. She lived there

for several years. Supporting female education. And sticking with the

World Cup theme, here you go. You can swap these before you open them,

that is the exciting thing. Alex Jones! Who do you play for? I was

shocked, Ben. Myself! Some Italian brothers had a fantastic idea to put

World Cup football players on stickers. That sparked a craze that

would see schoolchildren all over the world buying and trading in a

desperate attempt to fill up their sticker albums.

Got that. Need that. That is the sound of the hard core football

sticker fanatic. But not just kids are doing it. The Italian company

Panini are doing it. The Italian company

stickers since the 1960s and the first World Cup album was brought

out in 1970. They are now sold in over 100 countries around the world.

I'm heading to a bar in east London to find out what drives grown men to

get stuck on stickers. It is not a midnight prices. It is revelling in

everything to do with the World Cup. -- not a midlife crisis. We

have the Mexico sticker album up in the loft along with grandad's war

medals. Do you think that adults spending a lot of money and going on

the Internet to swap cards? A think they need to get out more. What do

yours wouldn't make of this? You are a teacher. When you get older it

becomes cool again. Andrew Parker is an avid traitor of stickers and has

encouraged his nine-year-old son to do the same. It is an early lesson

in the power of the market. Someone who has a sticker anyone wants

understands the power of limited supply. The last time I did this was

1982. What has changed? People can now use the Internet to connect with

each other. Do they may be print not many of Wayne Rooney but a lot of

other players? It turns out the market is not very and the cards are

produced evenly and randomly distributed. Do you feel you are

learning some important business lessons doing this? Kind of because

my dad is always telling me what to do. I would most like to find Lionel

Messi. I have got one. There you go. Put that in your book. I could see

myself really getting into this. But I would only by two packets per day,

or maybe three. Let us face it, I am addicted. Has anyone got Wayne

Rooney? It is really addictive. I used to have one. Smash hits. Well

we are about to cross live to Joe Crowley in the presence of 4000 of

some of the greatest football players ever to grace the pages of

the sticker album. Absolutely. They're all here. This is a very

unusual portrait exhibition at the Proud Archivist, a gallery in

London. We looking at here? We have two exhibitions. The first is a

photographic one. People who scored a goal in World Cup finals. And

these are all the stickers. We had to think of something equally

these are all the stickers. We had to go alongside this. So the idea of

Panini came about. And then we tried to have every single World Cup

sticker that they ever produced from the 1970 Mexico World Cup right

through to Brazil. This is the altar of nostalgia. Panini is now bigger

than ever. And for us it is the art of football and we have got it all

here. This is the kind of social history of haircuts. Mexico 1986.

The Scotland squad. Look at that moustache. The England team coming

back to 1982. A lot of hair on that side. And Northern Ireland, a very

freshfaced Martin O'Neill. And the man who recognises all those players

because he has been collecting them all this time is John. You have been

collecting since 1970. Somehow I never got round to stopping and now

it has become a World Cup ritual. And it is now more social media? Yes

for Brazil I completed that through my daughter. A friend of hers said

it down to me. That happened through twitter. You are missing five. I

think four of them I have already sourced. Alan Ball is the key one

that is missing. It is always the English that go missing in a World

Cup! If the collection was complete, Mark Stacey, how much would that be

worth? Around ?4000 for the entire collection. So he just needs one

more sticker. Alan Ball is missing. If you have a 1970s sticker of Alan

Ball please get in touch. What about your smash hits album? I wonder what

that is worth. We have been inviting people down to see if they can bend

it like Beckham all week. Phil Tuffnell, he wants to take the next

kick. He has been practising and kicked it over the fence earlier

on! There you go. Oh that would have gone in and stop I'm aiming for

Paxman, his face. Just kidding! Not great. That is perhaps the third

time I have ever kicked a football. That is good! The guests get so

excited about just having a go. But it is possible to do. Someone

managed to this afternoon. Brilliant. I was over the moon.

Bringing home a stray cat from a shelter can be a challenge even for

the biggest fan. But British-born Giles Clark ended up bringing home

to newborn tiger cubs to live with him and his family. Giles works with

tigers and there are critically endangered. They are the most

amazing creature that I think has ever walked the earth. I have

contact with my cats because I truly believe it gives them the best

quality of lifestyle they can have in captivity. It is 9am and Caitlin

's contractions have started. It is close, really close. It is imminent.

Good girl. Well done! Good girl. It is two males. Caitlin is allowing

Giles to share in the moment. Absolutely amazing. Despite their

good health, life for young tigers is precarious. Globally over a third

of captive born Sumatran cubs will not make it to adulthood. So, Giles

has made a difficult decision to safeguard the Cubs future. You're

going to pass with flying colours. He will hand raise them in South at

home so he can give them 24-hour care. Yashin -- raise them himself.

Caitlin will come back off her walk and come to the realisation that her

cubs are no longer there. Then she will get on with life. That is what

they would do in the wild. OK. Hang on in there for a while.

We already had one or two hissy fits when it comes to potentially

sharing. Oh, that is so cute! Doesn't look like it would hurt a

fly. They are very vocal. They let you know when they are not happy,

don't you? Not very happy, are they? Over the

next week, they go from strength to strength. Now a hefty six kilos each

in weight, in the wild they will be starting to explore the outside

world. At the moment they are not even five weeks of age. You can see

how rapidly they are growing back how much more they are endangered in

the environment around them. Is he sucking your belly fat? It is not

just mouth that are developing. They are following things with their

eyes. Eyesight is getting better and better. Not quite so cute in a

couple of months' time. They are growing fast. They will get naughty.

Everybody in the whole studio loves them. Giles is here. They became an

integral part of the family. They were. How could they not be? How did

you persuade your wife? How did the conversation go? I hope you don't

mind, I am going to bring two Tigers home. She was in it for this -- from

the start. They are bigger than most big dogs, 65 kilos. Do you still

have that kind of connection with them? They are still interacting

everyday. They are interacting with all the bigger Tigers. The bond will

continue throughout their lives. How long were they with you in the

house? We had them for four months. They would come to work in the zoo

joined the day. In the evening is when I would bring them home. They

were getting pretty big and naughty at four months. Why thank you little

boy must have been devastated. He was the most. Why are Sumatran

tigers critically endangered? We have less than 500 of them remaining

in the wild. It is due to habitat destruction, they are poached and

hunted for burns and body parts which are used in traditional

medicines. Less habitat and more people, they come into conflict with

local people. They do not usually come out on top. They are helping to

raise money. They are ambassadors for wild counterparts. They have

helped to generate tens of thousands of dollars we are pumping back into

supporting Tiger conservation in the wild and trying to keep them where

they should be, which is in the forests of a share. You are doing a

fantastic job. How did you end up in Australia as a cat man? Cat Man! I

have been really lucky and had several opportunities throughout my

career. I started in England 20 years ago. I have chased tigers

around the world. I have been in Australia for 15 years. I have been

incredibly lucky and fortunate to be in the right place at the right

time. It is all in the documentary. You can catch the first full episode

on BBC Two next Monday the 16th of June at eight p.m..

You can catch the first full episode of Tigers About The House on BBC 2

And Dara's back with a new series of Mock The Week starting tomorrow.

On behalf of the Irish, we were quite irritated because we had done

a good job of nicking those jobs in the 50s and you arrived riding,

waving spices and whatnot. We had no response to that. You will find the

spices in the east and the Irish cuisine have gone together to form

the potato wedge. I suppose it is all about the interaction and

dynamics of you guys on the panel. Somebody says an initial thing. The

joke rolls and roles. Those are the ones you really like. How do you go

about that? Catherine Ryan is in the series. We have had her on a few

times. She is very good. She has a distinct comedy world you have to go

into. It is a really lovely. The casting of any show is a bit like a

sitcom. People full cill different roles. There is the cheeky one, the

informed one. -- fulfilled. They are listening out for someone else's

jokes. Times were when it could be like rat tat tat. The better ones

are, funny you should say that, that leads me to this. I go on to that. I

end up being the glue that joins ideas together. The stuff people

remember are the stupid jokes that ran. I keep hearing them back over

and over. You want people who listen. You do not often talk about

what it is like with Chris Moyle 's as the host. Sign up someone said it

would take two years to settle in. I thought, two years! In the last few

months, it does feel... Chris was such a huge personality. It will

take a bit of time to make the transition happen. I really love it.

I really enjoy it. You are appealing to a younger demographic, 16 to

24-year-olds. That is your target, isn't it? Our age! What goes into

making those three hours really good people at that age? I am obsessive

about popular culture. It comes naturally to me to be assessed with

music videos and nonsense on Twitter.

naturally to me to be assessed with music videos You have not got to

pretend you are a 16-year-old because that would be a terrible

radio show. If I pretend I would like to skateboard in. You have just

got to be... I am genuinely interested in pop culture and youth

culture so good is natural. It is really not planning, it is not like

the television. Sometimes it is like a bit of a shambles show. Sometimes

it is slicker than ever. I guess it is hard to marry the two. That

culture happened that night. You have to get up early and do this

show. To keep it all going... It is an amazing job. It is what I have

wanted to do since I was a kid. When your alarm goes off, it is nice. I'd

attributed exciting. 16-year-olds are not in clubs. -- it is exciting.

It is about ringing the culture to them. I do not know why I am not on

Radio 1 more often? You are helping to get talented young artists

involved in the summer art competition. Last year, Lucy

submitted this picture. There is a lovely, gentle style about her work.

This year we have two categories, 13-17 and the 18 years and over. We

will meet the six finalists. Before that, let's hear from Phil. In

April, for the second year running, we launched The One Show summer art

competition and the response was amazing. Over 1100 of you sent in

your work for consideration and the chance to have your picture hanging

here, at the wheel Academy of arts, in London, in our The One Show

summer art exhibition. This year we just asked for original drawings and

paintings on any subject from an attack artists in two age groups,

13-17 -year-olds and 18 and over. You sent in paintings and drawings

of parks, parents and even pets in all manner of mediums. The One Show

competition team whittled these entries down to a short list of 24,

12 in each category. They are on display here in the famous Reynolds

room. The next stage is to take three entries through to the final

in each category. I have my favourites but it is not my

decision. That is the job of our three judges. It is so endearing.

Edith cure rates the boil Academy exhibition. -- the Royal Academy.

She is helped by an artist who has exhibited all over the world. It is

a really fantastic drawing. Our third judge is Maureen Lipman. She

knows what she likes and is not afraid to tell us. Sign it feels

cheeky. The judges have 12 works in each category to consider. -- it

feels cheeky. I did not know what to expect. There is a great Friday

which is really good to see. What did you think? Vibrant, really

good. I feel rather strange picking this one. It is so draughtsman like.

It is so impressive. This is done in by row and it is beautifully

realised. He is 17 and he is going places. What do you like about this

one? It is painted in oil. All these details of how the further twists in

different directions round the collar has been beautifully done,

very subtly done. Could this be contender? It grabs you. It is very

clever. This section here, to put the turquoise and pink, it is very

inventive. 24 great works but they cannot all go through to the final.

This is in the 18 and over category. What a strong phase! Beautiful

texture. She is beautiful. I think the judges are finding it harder

than they thought. I think they have achieved that brilliantly. It is

quite a complicated work. These two funny faces are set within the

trees. There is one up here I noticed and another one down here.

You can see the two eyes and mouth. It is really well done. Very well

done. The shadow is made up of words. Maybe we should change our

minds. Well, they have reached their decision. Who will go through to the

final? And we are going to bring out the final six. Please introduce the

first finalist. We have Georgia and mirror image. Congratulations. How

did the picture come about? Last year I started using by Rob and

doing portraits as well. My art teacher suggested putting a twist on

the portrait that I was doing. The detail is incredible.

Congratulations. And the first in the over 18 category. Andrew Larson.

Farmhouse, Dominican Republic. It is a place that I'd visited on holiday

and did just screamed to be painted. Congratulations. The next one, no

relation, Spencer Grimshaw. Seriously! Well done. Have you ever

met this man before? No! Domino, this one is called. What is the

story behind it? I painted it for my dad is a present last Christmas. It

is a painting of his dog. What did your dad say when you sent it in? I

did not tell him until the last minute. Congratulations. And the

next finalist. Charlotte Bradley. Fred's wife. It is beautiful. How do

you get the tone? I tried to resist using black paint. A friend said

never use black. An old couple let me take their photograph. And then I

painted this one. Congratulations. Brilliant. And the last one. Lydia

who is 15. Spring is the title of this one. Do you always draw

animals? It was inspired by matrix Potter. She is a big inspiration for

me. -- Beatrix for. The colours are lovely. And you normally draw

people? I love doing animals and people. Whatever I'd take a fancy to

on the day. How does it feel to have it hanging in the Royal Academy? It

is a big deal. Kurt Buckley now from Southampton. They loved the way you

achieved the stubble. It is all pencil but the really quite parts

are paint. -- white. How did you develop your style? I think everyone

progresses over time. It just comes to you. This is someone I met in

Portsmouth. I just asked to take a photograph. Now time to find out

what the next and final challenge is. The final challenge for all of

you is to do a canvas. Whatever you want, there are no rules. Then on

the 16th of July we will see that on the One Show. Any thoughts so far?

No! Look at this, nine-month old baby often. Supporting Italy.

Dressed as a Vatican priest! A wonderful piece of work. We will put

that on the wall chart. This one comes from Dale from Colchester. He

would like to represent Argentina. Because he looks like an Argentinian

player, he reckons. Congratulations, you're up on the wall chart.

Tomorrow we choose who represents Bosnia Herzegovina, Portugal and

Switzerland. So if you want to represent any of those sides do send

in your photographs and tell us why. Regular viewers will probably

recognise this space as Michael Douglas. The

recognise this space as Michael street barber. But did you know that

he used to be a street dancer, and a champion one at that! In the early

1980s a champion one at that! In the early

to the UK from America. With champion one at that! In the early

looked at the reactions of the crowd to certain tunes and they went into

a frenzy at a certain point where the drum break was. He extended

those drum brakes. He extended them manually.

Second to none. They are still dancing and they are going to remind

Second to none. They are still me of some of the basics. You can

put other stuff into this. There is this footwork. And then from there

you go into a whole list of moves. The helicopter, the windmill. It is

the basic foundation. How long have you been doing this? 30 years. Today

break dancing is as popular as ever. It features on talent shows and

across the Internet. Soul Mavericks are one of the top acts in the

country. It is still really popular. You have got a lot of kids getting

into it. There are talent shows on TV. Do you know anything about this

crew we are about to take on? They have been doing that a lot longer

than we have. They're still in shape. I'm going to take to the

floor alongside Soul Mavericks. I'm not often nervous but I am scared,

to say the least. Traditionally the winner of contests

like these was decided by the reaction of the crowd. Today we made

it about even. I think I was the best for my age! If only he was here

now because it is time to welcome a man responsible for the most played

record of the year so far on Radio 2. Mr Gregory Porter! Were thrilled

to have you here. Looking absolutely dapper as well. You are going to

play Liquid Spirit four hours later at the end of the show. This is my

fine band. I have been with them for seven years. Chip Crawford on piano.

Erin James on base. Emanuel Herold on the drums. Mr Saito on saxophone.

And initially you did not really want to be a singer. He wanted to

play as an American footballer? I went to college on a footballing

scholarship. But I injured my shoulder and in a way last night

identity as an athlete and found myself gravitating towards music.

Well we cannot wait to hear the song, Liquid Spirit. It has been

played so much on the radio. We will let you get into position. That is

all we have got time for. A big thank you to Dara O'Briain and Nick

Grimshaw. And tomorrow we will be joined by Maureen Lipman. But now

let the spirit, Gregory Porter. -- Liquid Spirit.

# There's some people down the way that's thirsty.

# Watch what happens when the people catch wind.

# When the water hits the banks of that hard dry land.

# It might strike like the final flood.

# The people haven't drank in so long.

# Grab the roots of the tree down by the river.

# Fill your cup when your spirit's low, clap your hands now.

# There's some people down the way that's thirsty.

# Watch what happens when the people catch wind.

# When the water hits the banks of that hard dry land.
