:00:15. > :00:26.MUSIC # Here comes your man #.
:00:27. > :00:32.Night-time for The One Show with Alex Jones and tonight's guest
:00:33. > :00:36.presenter... It's Dermot O'Leary. There's no need to shout! Give over.
:00:37. > :00:48.Come on. Well, hello and welcome to The One
:00:49. > :00:53.Show with Alex Jones. And my co-host, Dermot O'Leary.
:00:54. > :00:59.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE We are very excited, we are. Get out
:01:00. > :01:04.of town! I have a slight bone to pick. Last time I saw you was that
:01:05. > :01:07.the National Television Awards and I thought we'd talked about fixing the
:01:08. > :01:11.whole thing so we could win. That was going to happen and you didn't
:01:12. > :01:14.turn up on time. This is what happened, we got there just in time
:01:15. > :01:18.to see the clips of The One Show on the big screen and as we walked into
:01:19. > :01:25.the auditorium, Phil and Harley came out and we backed back down to the
:01:26. > :01:31.gallery. I thought he'd hit the bar early doors, and then you were gone.
:01:32. > :01:37.I did, soon after that. Tonight's show looks like a winner. First, we
:01:38. > :01:39.will meet this lad who plays the piano beautifully and is now
:01:40. > :01:45.mastering a new skill to help him find his way in the world. Birdy
:01:46. > :01:49.will be singing later. Here she is, in bed. And with Valentine's Day on
:01:50. > :01:56.Sunday we are talking first dates with the team from the hip Channel 4
:01:57. > :02:01.show. There they are. Very excited, our guest is full of love, well, it
:02:02. > :02:06.couldn't be stopped. I just want to... Here we go, the studio, I love
:02:07. > :02:10.you, and Cameron Crowe, and John Crew -- Tom Cruise, I love you,
:02:11. > :02:18.brother, I love you, man! Keith Butler, Regina King, I love you! You
:02:19. > :02:24.did a great job when we made the movie everybody involved with the
:02:25. > :02:29.movie, I love you! It's Cuba Gooding, Jr.
:02:30. > :02:36.CHEERING AND APPLAUSE I love you! What we love is the fact
:02:37. > :02:41.when you start playing the music which is normally the queue to go,
:02:42. > :02:45.OK, you just carried on. The true story is the producer said he
:02:46. > :02:53.thought I said he was a music now, because I have a lot of people do
:02:54. > :02:56.thanks. You would say that? Did you forget anyone? There was a few
:02:57. > :02:59.people I probably forgot, or when I was saying their names as I was
:03:00. > :03:06.jumping around the mike didn't catch! A lovely moment. Dermott
:03:07. > :03:14.hosts a lot of award shows. Would you have said, Cuba, it's time...
:03:15. > :03:22.It's an exciting moment, I would feel awkward and I would get a slap
:03:23. > :03:25.as well. May be hoped. You are here all show, we are pleased to have
:03:26. > :03:29.you. Let's meet ten-year-old pianist Ethan Loch from Bonnybridge in
:03:30. > :03:34.Falkirk. Being able to master the piano be tight -- despite being
:03:35. > :03:41.blind isn't the only reason he is very special. Take a look.
:03:42. > :03:45.Ten-year-old Ethan from Bonnybridge in Scotland contacted bacterial
:03:46. > :03:50.manager writers when he was ten weeks old. At six months old doctors
:03:51. > :03:54.told his mother his illness had taken his side. They couldn't tell
:03:55. > :04:03.me what was wrong with him and what had caused it, we just got on with
:04:04. > :04:09.it. I remember leaving, we could hardly drive the car home. I
:04:10. > :04:17.couldn't see the road because of tears, just feeling quite
:04:18. > :04:22.distressed. His mother believes Ethan's blindness has contributed to
:04:23. > :04:28.him being musically gifted. He would stand at the piano for hours,
:04:29. > :04:35.really. About 16 months, 18 months, just stand and push keys. So I think
:04:36. > :04:39.when other toddlers would have been running around and jumping off the
:04:40. > :04:46.couch and things like that, Ethan wasn't doing those things. He would
:04:47. > :04:49.be standing at the piano. With Ethan's language in the earlier
:04:50. > :04:54.years, he really spoke through the piano. He couldn't answer yes, or
:04:55. > :04:58.no, to questions. I would say, tell mummy you love me and he would play
:04:59. > :05:03.twinkle twinkle Little Star to me. He has never been away from me since
:05:04. > :05:08.the day he was born. But that is all about to change. Ethan has secured a
:05:09. > :05:10.place at Saint Mary's music Academy in Edinburgh. He needs to be
:05:11. > :05:16.independent but the problem is he has a lack of spatial awareness and
:05:17. > :05:20.struggles with unfamiliar environment. But help is at hand.
:05:21. > :05:24.Daniel has come over from America to teach him a special technique. To
:05:25. > :05:31.enable him to see the world around him. Daniel himself has been blind
:05:32. > :05:34.since birth and has two glass eyes but can describe his environment in
:05:35. > :05:40.remarkable detail. When I enter an area I've never been in before, I
:05:41. > :05:43.mean I can tell immediately there is a smallish area because it is
:05:44. > :05:52.bounded by buildings. I can hear the buildings across the road here.
:05:53. > :05:56.Daniel is using echolocation in the same way a Batt-macro navigate. A
:05:57. > :06:02.bit of play equipment here, I cant help it is play equipment because it
:06:03. > :06:06.has got slanting surfaces and it has got open surfaces and it's probably
:06:07. > :06:19.the slide. Yes. Daniel first met Ethan when his
:06:20. > :06:24.family went to Canada. He has kept in touch and regularly meets Daniel
:06:25. > :06:29.to help him improve his echolocation techniques. Today's lesson is one of
:06:30. > :06:32.the biggest yet. Daniel is going to take Ethan on a trip to his new
:06:33. > :06:40.school. It is going to be a lesson of one or two hard knocks. Did I go
:06:41. > :06:44.all the way to platform two? Ethan struggles to navigate particular
:06:45. > :06:50.areas around his school. Even though Daniel is totally blind, he knows
:06:51. > :06:56.exactly where Ethan is at all times. Stop, not there. Ethan doesn't give
:06:57. > :06:58.up. Go ahead and find the corridor, avoiding the open space. Crossed the
:06:59. > :07:06.chamber staying close to the closed space. The clicks are important
:07:07. > :07:12.because if you click, like something was there, you would something
:07:13. > :07:19.coming back to you. And then you know. Closed space, where is the
:07:20. > :07:32.closed space? Good. Finally, success. Exactly, good, Ethan. Easy,
:07:33. > :07:35.easy. The next day it is Ethan's Birthday Honours time for another
:07:36. > :07:42.challenge, a hike in the hills with his family. -- at his birthday.
:07:43. > :07:47.Observing him is the professor who first diagnosed him. Ethan. At
:07:48. > :07:52.obstacles before bumping into them, he knows they are there. His
:07:53. > :07:57.behaviour shows he is echolocating. I don't actually see with my eyes. I
:07:58. > :08:01.just see in a different way, so that's the advantage about being
:08:02. > :08:05.blind. You can read in the dark as well. When you see Daniel do it, for
:08:06. > :08:09.me that makes it believable. It's something to hold onto and its hope
:08:10. > :08:19.and it's something that his whole life benefits from. Happy birthday.
:08:20. > :08:25.Love you. That last bit got me! If you want to hear Ethan's story, tune
:08:26. > :08:30.into Radio Four this Sunday at 1:30pm. The People V OJ Simpson
:08:31. > :08:34.starts next week on BBC Two, you are playing the lead role. The original
:08:35. > :08:37.case was one of the most high profile cases of the 90s, millions
:08:38. > :08:43.of people watched it, streamed live, but what do you remember, Cuba, of
:08:44. > :08:47.the case back then? I will never forget the image of that Bronco and
:08:48. > :08:54.that slow speed chase going down the freeway. You know, we were watching
:08:55. > :08:57.a finals game at the bottom of the screen, the image of the Bronco
:08:58. > :09:00.breaks in and they announced OJ Simpson was in the back seat with a
:09:01. > :09:04.gun to his head. I remembered thinking that at any moment they
:09:05. > :09:12.were going to pull his lifeless body from the Bronco. 100 million people
:09:13. > :09:16.watched. Incredible, in the pre-Internet age, the first kind of
:09:17. > :09:21.worldwide thing like that. For those of you don't remember, OJ Simpson
:09:22. > :09:27.was a footballer turned American actor, accused of the murder of his
:09:28. > :09:34.ex-wife and it amounted to the trial of the Centre full -- the trial of
:09:35. > :09:37.the century. Let's take a look. Is impolite to ask? I don't... ! That's
:09:38. > :09:42.what I'm saying! Now it's all over TV! Why did you left him get
:09:43. > :09:51.interviewed? What have I got to hide? Why in the hell were you in
:09:52. > :09:57.the room? I don't know, man, I don't... These are good questions. I
:09:58. > :10:02.hope we're not giving too much away, it's not a plot spoiler here, OJ was
:10:03. > :10:07.acquitted of the crime, he is now in prison on another charge. Did you
:10:08. > :10:11.get a chance to meet him? I didn't want to meet him. I didn't play him
:10:12. > :10:16.as a broken man that had been incarcerated for years in his 60s. I
:10:17. > :10:22.played him at the height of his popularity. There is this budding
:10:23. > :10:27.nature of the athletes that I had to possess -- bragging nature. I
:10:28. > :10:32.watched a lot of video of him at the time and studied the footage and red
:10:33. > :10:35.documentaries on how the people around him on the support team were
:10:36. > :10:39.and that is what fuelled my psyche. 8.3, a staggering amount of people
:10:40. > :10:43.watched the opening episode, 8.3 million in the States. You haven't
:10:44. > :10:49.seen a single episode, have you? This was the hardest character I had
:10:50. > :10:54.to inhabit for the longest character, we shot this in six
:10:55. > :10:59.months and it was one of those things where I hear actors talk
:11:00. > :11:03.about when Heath Ledger talked about playing the Joker, it was a dark
:11:04. > :11:11.character, and I would laugh, but it really does permeate your soul. It's
:11:12. > :11:15.like when you see an image on the news, somebody getting shot, how it
:11:16. > :11:20.affect you for the rest of the day. It's that, for months at a time.
:11:21. > :11:25.When do you think you will be able to watch it? Maybe when I step away
:11:26. > :11:29.from this time period in my life. What did you learn about him that
:11:30. > :11:33.you didn't know before? So much, so much, like an example was when we
:11:34. > :11:39.shot the scene where he wrote the suicide note, and I was pacing back
:11:40. > :11:43.and forth in the mindset. I looked down at the paper I said somebody
:11:44. > :11:50.give me the suicide note, I mean the real one, it's a smiley face and he
:11:51. > :11:56.goes, he wrote a smiley face in the Bow of his signature. It showed me
:11:57. > :12:01.the psychosis he was in. It was like he was in a bubble, a huge
:12:02. > :12:05.celebrity, the pomp, a case of hubris as well. Did you like him?
:12:06. > :12:12.Because obviously you got under his skin. When? We know so much more
:12:13. > :12:19.about it now, do you like him? Well, it's a hard question because you can
:12:20. > :12:26.never judge your character you play, so if I think of him that way I will
:12:27. > :12:31.lose on the moment signed vice versa, playing the villain, you want
:12:32. > :12:36.just keep that blank mindset on him and it's the director's job to give
:12:37. > :12:39.you directions in which ever take then the director goes into the
:12:40. > :12:45.editing and strings your performance together. A great performance, Cuba.
:12:46. > :12:50.Briefly, I want to start playing music when you answer this question,
:12:51. > :12:55.but if we have to wrap you up, its awards season now, you are doing the
:12:56. > :13:02.BAFTAs and the Oscars, there are talks about boycotts. What is your
:13:03. > :13:06.take on it? The director of the revenant said it best, all awards
:13:07. > :13:09.shows are the end of the chain. If you are going to talk diversity you
:13:10. > :13:15.have to start in the executive decision-making process, when they
:13:16. > :13:19.decide to do a film telling a story that is of one nationality, of one
:13:20. > :13:23.strict thing, then you are going to have an end result that doesn't give
:13:24. > :13:29.you a lot of options. That is where diversity has to start. Great, thank
:13:30. > :13:40.you. The People V OJ Simpson: American Crime Story starts on
:13:41. > :13:43.Sunday. Why later in Wales? One of the most celebrated actors in this
:13:44. > :13:48.country is Simon Callow, he has done everything from Shakespeare to Four
:13:49. > :13:51.Weddings and a Funeral, so when he said he wanted to make a film for as
:13:52. > :13:55.we were honoured. We were, although we hear he made some pretty big
:13:56. > :14:01.demands when it came to costume and make-up. In east London Sunday
:14:02. > :14:06.service at all Saints Church is a little more colourful than usual.
:14:07. > :14:09.Clowns come from all over the British Isles to celebrate the
:14:10. > :14:17.greatest clown of them all. The one, the only... Joe Grimaldi. Born in
:14:18. > :14:20.London, Grimaldi was a 19th-century performer who took the figure of the
:14:21. > :14:28.clown and turned him from a small stage role into a popular main act.
:14:29. > :14:32.He is a hero to many. If it wasn't for Grimaldi, we wouldn't be here.
:14:33. > :14:36.Faxed him, we are doing what we are doing now. I've always been
:14:37. > :14:44.fascinated by clowns. Maybe part of it because Mike great-grandfather
:14:45. > :14:47.was a clown in Denmark, great -- -- my great-grandmother was a bareback
:14:48. > :14:52.horse rider, but I have wanted to delve into the tradition to find out
:14:53. > :14:57.more about them, and Joe Grimaldi. He put clowns in the spotlight. The
:14:58. > :15:03.nearby clown museum is run by clowns and Grimaldi enthusiasts Matty. What
:15:04. > :15:10.was so extraordinary about him? He started changing the way the clown
:15:11. > :15:15.of the day was featured. He perfected the whiteface, and his
:15:16. > :15:18.mouth, a dash of red, this make-up, became the standard make-up for
:15:19. > :15:28.clowns. Grimaldi really invented the British Crown. And also invented the
:15:29. > :15:30.first megastar, in a way. The great Grimaldi's energetic and surreal
:15:31. > :15:34.slapstick enthralled audiences around the country. He was so
:15:35. > :15:40.successful figurines of him were sold in theatres wherever he
:15:41. > :15:46.performed. They did merchandising in the 19th century. In small sizes.
:15:47. > :15:48.His red and white make-up was his trademark. Today, clowns record
:15:49. > :15:58.their unique look on pottery eggs. These are some of our eggs from
:15:59. > :16:07.history. These are present oceans of the clown's character. Will you show
:16:08. > :16:13.me one? It is scary, I would not like to run into one on a dark
:16:14. > :16:17.night. Grimaldi dominated theatres until years of slapstick ruined his
:16:18. > :16:23.health and forced him to leave the stage. His legacy lives on in the
:16:24. > :16:27.annual clown circus established in his honour. This year, with a little
:16:28. > :16:41.help, I am delivering the Grimaldi address.
:16:42. > :16:47.That is it. We are off! We come together today for the desire of
:16:48. > :16:51.many clowns, once a year, for encouragement and worship. We also
:16:52. > :16:56.respect the memory of the most famous of all British clowns, Joey
:16:57. > :17:01.Grimaldi. We are immensely privileged to have with us today
:17:02. > :17:05.Simon Callow. Ladies and gentlemen, there never
:17:06. > :17:12.was a clown again after Grimaldi. Dickens said that. He made a very
:17:13. > :17:15.touching speech that this year I have the privilege of reading it.
:17:16. > :17:25.Except, ladies and gentlemen, my warmest and most grateful thanks,
:17:26. > :17:30.and leave that one and all, Joseph Grimaldi takes a double leave.
:17:31. > :17:30.Farewell on his lips and 80 in his eye.
:17:31. > :17:42.APPLAUSE eye.
:17:43. > :17:46.it? It put a smile on people's faces eye.
:17:47. > :17:54.great genius of eye.
:17:55. > :18:01.the end of it remains to be eye.
:18:02. > :18:11.I am a bit scared of clowns. I love how random this show is. Clown film
:18:12. > :18:23.means clown item? No! Sorry, not tonight! Sorry, Dave! But it is
:18:24. > :18:26.because we want to talk about love. First Dates returns to Channel 4
:18:27. > :18:30.tonight for a Valentine's Day special. The show sets up singletons
:18:31. > :18:37.in a restaurant staffed by these guys here. We have Merlin, Cici and
:18:38. > :18:44.Sam. Nice to see you. There is something about this, it feels nice
:18:45. > :18:56.but we need some music to set the mood. Cuba, can you tell us who this
:18:57. > :19:01.is? That is my father! Perfect! Cuba's dad is getting
:19:02. > :19:06.is? That is my father! Perfect! mood! Now then, Merlin, we will kick
:19:07. > :19:09.off with you. You are at the bar in First Dates, you must see very
:19:10. > :19:14.quickly if they date is going well or not. What are the signs you are
:19:15. > :19:18.looking out for? When the other person comes in, because I have
:19:19. > :19:29.already served the drinks to the first person, when they meet, you
:19:30. > :19:37.see them engage, the eyes log on -- knock on. What are the faux pas is
:19:38. > :19:42.when you're eavesdropping? Early doors is introduction is surely. Is
:19:43. > :19:50.it like the two kiss? What do you think is the best way? I
:19:51. > :19:58.and a hug. It would be awkward because I am a simple Kiss, Kiss
:19:59. > :20:03.will stop and then it is awkward. Let's have a look at one of the
:20:04. > :20:12.dates you can see on tonight's show. Do you know what you look like? A
:20:13. > :20:23.man. I am. I don't know what I expected. A sexy dude? I did not
:20:24. > :20:31.expect a sexy dude. You didn't? I didn't and bingo! Likewise.
:20:32. > :20:36.Goodness! Here in the restaurant we have some of the show's success
:20:37. > :20:41.stories including Jo and Naomi behind us who we love. And here we
:20:42. > :20:47.have Adam and down. You two, I was gripped. You had been single for 8.5
:20:48. > :20:54.years, and then, bang, bring us up to speed. What happened? We had a
:20:55. > :20:58.great first date and then by some fluke I had to work near where Adam
:20:59. > :21:08.Lyth in Ipswich so we had four dates in the first week. And now... We are
:21:09. > :21:12.engaged! He put a Ring on it! A summer or winter wedding? Probably
:21:13. > :21:19.winter around Christmas time. I can completely say that is the best time
:21:20. > :21:22.of year to do it. Now, over here, Arunima and Louis. You did not date
:21:23. > :21:28.each other but the show did fill you with confidence, it has been
:21:29. > :21:33.brilliant for you? For me, it was a wonderful experience. My main worry
:21:34. > :21:37.was going on the show, it being a blind date and then not knowing
:21:38. > :21:41.about the wheelchair. The whole process instilled me with
:21:42. > :21:47.confidence. I will go out there and be single and be proud to be who I
:21:48. > :21:49.am. We have run out of time and I am so upset, because Louis, I
:21:50. > :21:54.am. We have run out of time and I am tell you, my mother really likes
:21:55. > :21:58.you. Not in that way, she thinks you are lovely boy. You can watch First
:21:59. > :22:07.Dates tonight at nine o'clock on Channel 4.
:22:08. > :22:14.From Cuba's our to nature's harpoon. Here is Patrick Aryee.
:22:15. > :22:21.Great Britain's dramatic coastline covers thousands of miles of rock
:22:22. > :22:27.and sand. Rocky shores like this have predators hiding here with an
:22:28. > :22:30.array of secret weapons. Dog whelks are synonymous with the British
:22:31. > :22:36.online that these predators are easily passed by at low tide.
:22:37. > :22:41.However, once the sea returns, these unassuming creatures turn into
:22:42. > :22:47.assassins of the shallows. The common dog whelk is found along the
:22:48. > :22:53.UK's coast. Using their modified mouthparts they boring to muscles
:22:54. > :22:57.and limpets. A paralysing chemical and digestive enzyme turns the
:22:58. > :23:01.victims into a soup like consistency, and allowing the dog
:23:02. > :23:05.whelk to suck out its prey. As predators they are incredibly
:23:06. > :23:12.effective but as assassins, they are snail paced. Each attack takes up to
:23:13. > :23:16.four days. Fast Althea assassins do look in our waters. Cuttlefish will
:23:17. > :23:20.eye on colour change to help conceal themselves. They will even form
:23:21. > :23:25.weird shapes allowing them to drift on the current and prevent
:23:26. > :23:28.disturbing the water around pro. But their ultimate weapons are not
:23:29. > :23:32.always on display. To see them up close, I have come to the Marine
:23:33. > :23:37.Biological Association. What makes cuttlefish such
:23:38. > :23:41.successful predators? Aside from things like they're great vision,
:23:42. > :23:46.intelligence and camouflage, they also have these tentacles. As well
:23:47. > :23:50.as the eight tentacles you can see, they have tentacles which are hidden
:23:51. > :23:55.which are longer. On the end are soccer plates which are perfectly
:23:56. > :23:59.adapted for grasping and pulling in their prey. A piece of fish should
:24:00. > :24:10.hopefully reveal their hidden weapons.
:24:11. > :24:16.Striking with lightning fast speed, and using stealth makes them one of
:24:17. > :24:20.the deadliest assassins of our waters. But cuttlefish are not the
:24:21. > :24:26.only predators using tentacles to catch prey. Jellyfish and CNN ease
:24:27. > :24:34.don't appear to be high-speed hunters, but looks can be deceiving
:24:35. > :24:42.-- see an enemys. They look quite different, but they
:24:43. > :24:49.are actually related? That is right, they are in the same body of
:24:50. > :24:53.animals. Their bodies made up of thin layer sandwiched between layers
:24:54. > :24:58.of skin and they have tiny stinging capsules they used to attack their
:24:59. > :25:04.prey. They fire a harpoon at high speed and that injects a strong
:25:05. > :25:08.neurotoxin and that paralyse is the prey. To understand how these
:25:09. > :25:14.microscopic harpoons work, we need to place a tiny bit of tentacle
:25:15. > :25:18.under the microscope. We have taken the tip of a tentacle but they have
:25:19. > :25:23.really impressive powers of regeneration so we will not have
:25:24. > :25:26.damaged it. Vinegar alters the chemical composition inside the
:25:27. > :25:33.tentacle, stimulating the harpoons to fire. Look. Before I could see a
:25:34. > :25:37.few hairs or filament but as soon as that vinegar was put on it, it is
:25:38. > :25:43.covered on those tiny filaments. It is like fur all around the sea
:25:44. > :25:47.anemone. Some deliver the toxin and others grab onto the prey by
:25:48. > :25:53.lassoing around tiny little structures on their outer surface.
:25:54. > :25:58.Looked at and the Anna O microscope, these harpoons are revealed. By
:25:59. > :26:06.triggering thousands of these threads, it jellyfish and sea
:26:07. > :26:12.anemones can engulf their prey. They have evolved into some of the best
:26:13. > :26:21.super assassins of the sea. Now getting ready to perform is the
:26:22. > :26:25.incredible Birdy! Chairing macro -- CHEERING
:26:26. > :26:31.Thank you to Cuba Gooding Junior, the new series starts at nine
:26:32. > :26:39.o'clock on Monday. Dummett, it has been an absolute
