12/03/2014 The One Show

Hello and Welcome to your Wednesday One Show with Alex Jones... And Matt

Baker. And on the day we celebrate 25 years of the World Wide Web

please welcome, with 172,000 results on Google, Olympic skeleton

champion, Amy Williams. With 551,000, the comedian from County,

Down Patrick Kielty! And proving that "everyone loves a good old

fashioned villain" with pushing 3.5 million hits, its Moriaty himself -

Andrew Scott! a lot of search results. Do you

Google yourself? The Sherlock fan base has a very active imagination,

I try to avoid it. But everybody googles themselves. Do you Google

yourself, Patrick? No, I don't. How have you marked 25 years of the

World Wide Web? I have been working very hard today, it has been Homes

Under The Hammer followed by Loose Women. Have you heard of

bullet-proof Coffey? What? Bullet-proof Coffey, is what you are

supposed to drink. Have you heard of this, Amy? I have never heard of it.

It is what I am drinking now, it is performance coffee. Let's change the

subject. Andrew's new film is called The Stag. It is about a stag do in

Ireland. And to celebrate, we are throwing our very own one here? Yes,

we have invited a stag party along to the programme. Toby, the groom,

give us the way. Are you easily embarrassed? Yes. Enjoy yourself.

What ever happens, it is going to be fun. Robbie is your best man. He

will be looking out the you as we go. You have got a real stag do

plans, but have you organised his outfits yet? No, not at all. Just as

well. It is in the Brecon Beacons, it is an outdoor theme, which is

amazing because it ties in with your film. Tonight, we have a series of

challenges for you. If you do well you can go dressed like me to the

Brecon Beacons. It is practical. Very stylish. But if he fails to

impress, we will dress him up as me! What do you think of that one,

Toby? I am going to win. We wouldn't want to do anything his future wife

didn't approve of, so let's ask now because she watching along at home.

Introduce your friend. This is Charlene, the best man's

girlfriend. Which outfit do you want to see Toby in? Yours. We will catch

up with you later. We want you to get in touch with your photos of

your embarrassed looking stags. Send them to the usual address and we

will look later at night. Jets from a US airbase in Suffolk have formed

NATO's response to the crisis in the Ukraine. It's a reminder that

American military have had a presence here since the Second World

War. But with the US changing its foreign policy and making big cuts

to its air force the future of its bases here is being questioned.

Here's Anita. In a quiet corner of Suffolk, there

is a place that is unexpectedly American. This is RAF Lakenheath. It

is a US air force base in Suffolk which has been here for over 70

years and I have been given a rare opportunity to hang out with the

Americans. RAF Lakenheath is the largest of 12 U.S. Air Force bases

in the UK, housing 4500 military personnel and 80 fighter jets and

helicopters worth up to ?32 million each! American fighter planes based

in England. In 1944, the Americans had 115 aerodromes in East Anglia.

Their presence continued because after the end of World War II, we

entered the Cold War. It was felt we needed the support of the US forces.

As the U.S. Air Force is reducing its global staff by 25,000 members

in the next five years, the future size of the base is up in the air.

Air combat is what makes this base tick, but there is a different side,

with American schools, dollars and traffic rules, it is like a slice of

America in East Anglia. I am meeting the man in charge Colonel Kyle

Robinson. I turned up this morning, jets flying around, why are they in

the air? We need to make sure we are proficient that the missions we have

to do. The training within the UK is a lot wetter than we get in the rest

of Europe. Our ability to fly low at 500 feet to the ground in lots of

different areas free of a lot of constraints, is an advantage. We can

go supersonic and get a lot of high-end training. If you look at

any of the operations that occur in the European theatre, Bosnia and

Kosovo, we are very heavily involved because we are here. To get to the

Middle East, we are a day closer so we can get there very quickly. The

air base is well and truly part of the landscape, changing the lives of

the locals. I came here when I was 19, very nervous about leaving home.

I met Heidi at that time and fell in love. It has been magical ever

since. Lots of the locals mix with the Americans off base and have

become good friends. We are used to it, we see American trucks and cars

driving around here and nobody thinks anything of it. It is normal.

It has economic impact, we probably have $580 million in the local

community, both direct the hand indirectly. We employ a lot of

people, rent from the communities. What is the future? We don't know.

The air force and the United States military is in transition right now.

As we have left Iraq and currently Afghanistan, we will hopefully be

out of their by the end of this year, we will look at our strategic

priorities. When you go back to the US, what will you take back with

you? We like a lot of the things around here. I have to say, your

stag photos have crashed the system, so many coming in at the moment. We

will talk about Sherlock later on, and I know lots of people will want

to hear from you, but let's talk about your film, The Stag. It is

about a reluctant groom? A group of friends which we would describe as

modern, Irish men. Why would they spend their time in exclusively male

company? They go on a walking holiday and their stag is

infiltrated by a kind of mania. A man called The Machine. He takes it

over. Hilarity ensues. This is the groom and you are the best man

trying to avoid getting The Machine on The Stag do. This is the brother?

Yes. No, no, no. We are doomed. We had to call it off. We can't, there

is no exit strategy. The Machine. You have no idea what it is like to

spend five minutes with this man on Christmas Eve, let alone up a

mountain. He is insane and it is all your fault. Why is it your fault --

my fault. You suggested it in the first place. I am at work, I am

about to give a lecture. Wonderfully directed because you think it is so

intimate. It is funny. People were clapping, we have the double

premiere and people were clapping. You have a bit of a cry as well, it

is a lovely film. Is Melissa's brother coming? Do you have The

Machine on board? OK, we will leave it there. Who is The Machine of you

lot? You must be inundated with film offers at the moment, why this one?

I wanted to do something that had a lighter tone to it. I wanted to go

back to Ireland, I have not worked in Ireland for a while, I am from

Dublin. I get to sing a lot. It is a very witty script. Comedy is

undervalued and to find something that is genuinely funny without

being something that we have all seen before, it is difficult to find

a good script like that. It is genuinely, there are characters in

it we recognise. It is one men and women alike. It must have been

freezing because they are naked through a lot of the film. This was

shot in November. How did that go? It was beyond grim. We had a no

moaning policy. Yes. We had a great wardrobe crew and we were given a

onsie to get into after each scene because it was freezing. But then it

became very difficult to put on, so we ended up cutting out holes in

blankets. You ended up in Rome on a stag do by accident? I started a

stag do in Belfast and number of years ago and we ended up winning

7000 on a horse and we woke up in Rome! That sounds like The

Handover? It seemed like a good idea at the time. We woke up in the hotel

room and there is that awful moment when you are lying there and

wondering where you are. And there were two suits hung up with a lack

ties so we had definitely planned that we were going. Amy, you cannot

top that, but you went on your sister's hen night? There wasn't

that much alcohol, but for my sister we organised a cottage in the

country in Devon and surprise llama walking. My sister was blindfolded

in a car and there was alpaca 's and llamas and she had to guess what

they were. So we took them for a walk around the hills and the

countryside. They do that in the Brecon Beacons, lads. The Stag is

out this Friday and it is a good watch. Andrew, you will be filming

about the minor's strike? We have just finished filming it, it is out

later in the year. It is a group of gay and lesbian people who formed an

alliance with a small Welsh village. It is a true story. It is

the power of community and how we help each other. What about the

voices of those who grew up with the dispute?

My name is Ryan. I was ten years old in 1984 when the strike broke out in

March. I remember it quite vividly. One day my dad was going to work as

normal, the next day he wasn't going to work. One of the most striking

things I remember were the food parcels that came from the

distribution centres. They came not only from this country but all

around the world. I remember having these weird sausages from Russia. I

don't know what they were, but they were nice at the time! When I was a

child I used to play in the Street, I had friends in the street. There

was one child in particular, we were friends before the strike. His

father wasn't on strike so that affected our relationship. We

weren't friends during the strike. His house got graffitied with the

word scarp. That gives you some sort of strength of feeling at that time,

even amongst the children in the community. My name is Louise and I

was 11 in 1984. My dad went away to work on the Miners' Strikes with the

police. We would miss him, but he would bring these goody bags backs

of food that he was given. Mars bars and cans of Coke. We would save all

of those up for me and my brother. We would just get excited because we

would get all of those by the end of the week. The only time I worried

was when I watched it on the TV and the news, because you just presume

that your dad is going to be in amongst all the fighting. It was

quite scary. Thinking back to it, my dad was just doing his job really.

It is not something he'd necessarily want to go and do, but because he

was getting paid to do it he just went to go and deal with the

strikes. I'm quite proud of him, what he has done now, looking back

at the situation. I was about eight during the miners' strike. My dad

worked for the NUM, the National union of Mineworkers. Things changed

a lot in my house, they got a lot more chaotic and busy. It was an

exciting time, there were people arriving and leaving, men with gruff

voices, very seriously organising the next activity that they were

going to embark on. It seemed like a really exciting time as a child

anyway. Leading up to Christmas, my mum had to explain to me that we

probably wouldn't be able to have a great deal of presence because she

didn't have much money. So I still had only one present on my Christmas

list, which was a My Little Pony stable. When I opened it on

Christmas Day I was really over the moon. It was the best Christmas

ever, considering what was going on at the time. The only time I

remember when things changed, it was more tense, was at the end of the

strike where we went on the last March for the men to go back to

work. It was a really disappointing atmosphere, a sense of failure and

that things really changed them. -- then.

We were having a chat about it earlier. A week on Friday is the big

Sport Relief night. Things have changed up a little bit this year,

it's happening down at the Olympic Park. You are a big part of it,

Clash of the Titans. Explain to us what this is and who is taking part.

Basically, two teams. My team has Seb Coe as the captain, then Greg

James, Richard Bacon, Sally Phillips and me and Olly Murs. We have

basically all been given different challenges. That's a good team!

Different challenges from synchronised swimming, gymnastics,

on the Velodrome cycling in the pursuit A what else are we doing?

Swimming. Greg James looks like a young Louis Walsh in that picture.

That is our team. John Bishop, Freddie Flintoff, Nicola Adams.

Nicola is there just for the fight at the end. Nick Grimshaw, Helen

Skelton and some slightly chubby man at the end. The idea is this is all

happening on the night, the competitions will take place during

the live broadcast. Guess. We will be doing the race live on Friday

night at the velodrome. It's going to be the first time. This is

evidence, this is what the Olympic venues were made for. Was this the

first time round? Yes. It's scary, the wall just comes to hit you and

you've think you are going to slide off. I was shaking, having to talk

to myself going around the corners because I thought the bike was going

to slide. I love the little bit Alex is giving us now. You can ride the

track on a bike, loves. I'm climbing a mountain! I wouldn't fancy the

velodrome. That used to be no brakes on them. I was used to ice. This is

wood, you get splinters stuck in you. You've come down a mountain on

a tea tray, what are you worried about? ! Where did you get this?

I've seen Sally Phillips train, she is training really hard. I've seen

Olly Murs train, he was having a lot of chafing. Is this warming up? This

is my warm up for the synchronised swimming on land. You've got the

five girls around me. When they dive in, they stay completely

synchronised. The last scene of Titanic, you know where Leonardo

DiCaprio slips off into the sea, that's me in the middle, just

looking slightly pitiful! In all seriousness, how competitive are you

going to be and how messing around are you going to be? My team will

beat his team. We are rubbish, but we're better them. I don't know

about that. Seb Coe is a crock. John Bishop is a man of iron. He is a

past Sport Relief hero. Your team is pretty strong. Richard Bacon was

practising yesterday and the times were pretty good. How are you, Amy?

You packed in skeleton because of injury, so how are you finding this?

My knees have been struggling to walk today. Yeah, I must say it was

hard, cycling was hard on the body generally. Today I'm suffering. My

poorer knees are, what are you doing to me? ! We've got another ten

days, we could probably work this up into a shambles if we get a shot.

You can see Patrick and Amy battle it out for Team Bishop and Team Coe

next Friday night at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, live on

Sport Relief. It is Clash of the Titans! Let's go outside. Our

Stargate is saddled up and Andrew is out there ready to start our very

own cycling challenge. This is a high-speed bike race and the stakes

are massively high. Toby, are you all right? If you impress as here,

you will be one step closer to wearing this as opposed to this.

Mind you, it would match the wig. He's standing up! He's not messing

around at all. He's got the lead. Patrick is hot on his heels but this

is a tight corner. He's blasting all the way! Kielty is down. Poor Emma!

Come on, Amy. Congratulations. My word! Patrick! The power you put

into those pedals. Melissa, you must be very proud of your man. She is

lost for words. Have you done enough to avoid wearing this lovely pink

dress? We will tell you later on. Still a few more challenges to go,

Toby. Relax for now because we are going to change the subject

slightly. Here is Ann Widdecombe visiting a women's centre in

Gloucester where convicted criminals are free to come and go. The people

who run the centre claim it's a better solution to locking women up

in prison, but will Ann be convinced? There are almost 4000

women in prison in Britain today. Prison Reform Trust say most of them

haven't committed a violent offence and therefore they shouldn't be

behind bars at all. Well, I'm a former Prisons Minister and that is

not my view. But I'm here today to listen to the argument from the

other side. This is the Isis women Centre in Gloucester, where women

who have committed offences such as fraud or shoplifting can be sent to

instead of to prison. It's called community sentencing. The Prison

Reform Trust says this is the most effective and innovative crime

cutting schemes in England and Wales. It certainly doesn't look

like a penal institution, does it? The front door is unlocked. Tours.

The reception has the air of an office, with comfortable seating and

a friendly receptionist. Offenders don't even have to stay here. It is

a day centre, so every night they go home and sleep in their own beds. It

is not like a prison at all. Coming to defend it is Frances Crook, the

chief executive of the Howard League for Penal Reform. She is also an old

sparring partner of mine, and I think we're about to have another

argument. So some lucky woman doesn't get sent to prison, she gets

sent here instead. What will she do? It depends on her issues. They can

get help to get off drugs, get a job, write a CV. Everything they

need to make them responsible citizens and to not commit further

crimes, which is what we all want. The statistics are impressive. More

than half of women reoffend within a year of leaving prison, whereas only

9% reoffend after leaving a place like this. And most of the women

here today have finished serving their sentence and have chosen to

come back and use the place as a day centre. But there are only 51 of

these places across the country, so not every woman gets this as an

option. It's a postcode lottery and it's not fair. Some areas have a

women's centre, so the courts have that option, and some areas don't.

Why just women? NEETs men as well, men do this as well. At the moment

thereon. Women are imaginative and creative, we've set up the schemes,

women have done it themselves. Don't destroy something that works. Who is

proposing destroying it? Every scheme I ever saw worked much better

because it was tailored to an individual. You've got 87,000 people

in prison and you can't tailor schemes to every single individual.

Given that that is so, you are going to have a proportion of people, most

of them, going to prison rather than on schemes like this. I don't think

you can extrapolate from that that it's the women uniquely who should

be going to them. It is walking in and they are my friends, I've done

really well and done a lot of courses. I was a mess coming out of

prison, I didn't really get over it and was a complete and utter mess.

Isis is run by a very uncompromising lady called Rose. Behind us today is

an art class going on. What is the to these ladies? It's a self-esteem

course. People are making car large as that are about what enhances

their self-esteem and what diminishes their self-esteem. That

sounds wonderful except I've been watching the art class and they've

all just been having huge fun. If you are rape victim of crime, don't

you think dash back if you are a victim of crime, don't you think you

might want something a little bit more exemplary? Greene what victims

want something done so it's not going to happen again, to them or to

someone else. OK, so we've had to be debate, what is my conclusion? I've

seen nothing to make me change my mind. I think men and women should

be treated equally before the justice system, and that justice

should be meted out blindfold. I think her stance is quite naive. It

can cost up to ?56,000 per annum to keep a woman in prison. There is a

robust community sentence such as ours can cost somewhere up to ?3000.

I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to convince Ann that centres like

this can really change lives and should be a real alternative to

custody, so we don't send so many women to prison. 's we are joint by

Ann and Vicky Pryce, who has had recent experience in jails, after

taking her husband's Chris Huhne's speeding points. Vicky, you and your

ex-husband both received the same sentence, but you feel women are

treated more harshly, so what evidence do you have to support

this? If you look at the film you have just seen, it is much more

about whether alternative to prison work or not and maybe we should look

at women differently in terms of what we do in sentencing them. What

struck me looking that that is Ann's admission that it cuts

offending rates substantially. If you just want to -- reduce

reoffending, those things work very well. You did say over 50% reoffend,

but going through that system, 9% reoffended? I did say I had seen

numerous schemes like that during my time as prison minister. Any

offender, given a tailored scheme, then it will work. We have 87,000

plus prisoners, you cannot give them all tailored schemes, so why

uniquely must it be the women? Is it worth having sentences like that for

men? I would like to have tailored schemes for most of the individuals

in prison. It is not feasible on that sort of scale. I have never

denied individual, tailored schemes and will probably work in most

cases, but why do we say uniquely it is women. We don't actually say

that. There has been some funding for those centres because there was

a report which said women go in for very trivial offences and when they

come out they reoffend because nothing is done about the cause of

their crime, if you like. Very often they were victims before they went

to prison. They have a higher reoffending rate than men? They do

after they have had a number of offences, then it is very high, it

goes up to 90%. But the issue of women, they tend to have more drug

problems than men. They tend to have been more sexually abused when they

were children, suffered from domestic fire and is, they tend to

be suffering from alcohol abuse and have poor parenting skills. The

moment you send them to prison, instead of doing something about the

issues, you separate them from their children, and putting them in prison

costs so much more without any real input at the end than looking at

alternatives. You see the special pleading, women have drug use,

alcohol use. I was very quiet while you are speaking. This is special

pleading. Men, overwhelmingly in prisons, men have come in with a

drug act ground, a lot of them are in prison because they have done

things under the influence of alcohol. It is not unique for women.

You cannot do tailored schemes for everybody, you can do them for some,

don't pick out a women and said they are especially deserving. Justice

must be impartial. We saw the centre and the statistics say it works, but

they were having an arts and crafts session, is there room to feel for

the big aims of crime in this instance? I think victims want two

things, they want to feel they will be safe in the future so the

reoffending rates are important. But victims want to feel their plight

has been taken seriously. I think some victims looking and that will

think it is an insult. It is a difficult balance. It depends on the

victims, we're talking about women who have committed trivial act, like

shoplifting. The reality is, you can do it for loads of people but not

everyone. I don't think the idea of taking everyone out of prison and

putting them in centres like that is the answer. There is no such thing

as a victimless crime, we all pay the shoplifting, including the very

poor. Thank you, Ann. I know you do take some of Vicky's points. Does

she take any of mine? There is a hidden list looking at how many

home-grown businesses are faring. 5 million pairs of shared -- shoes and

boots are made here and John Sargent has been to see how a brand has come

back from the dead. This is Northamptonshire and they

have been making shoes in this part of Middle England for centuries. But

tradition does not guarantee success. I am visiting a factory

that not so long ago was on the brink of closure, now thanks to the

vision of one man, it is prospering again. This is in Wollaston and the

company was founded in 1881 when five men formed a cooperative called

the Northamptonshire and society. The company went from strength to

strength and its success contributed to its joint ownership by local

people. I started here when I was 16. The factory was in the village

and I lived in the village making around 5000 pairs of shoes a week.

But the good times did not last. China flooded the market with lower

quality but cheaper for wear. And then bad luck. We had two major

contracts and one went bust and one drop does. The company that drop

them was Doc Martens. The sales slumped and the cooperative was

plunged into crisis. Its business model in ruins and losing money hand

over fist. The future looked hopeless. Over 100 years of

industrial history was about to end. It was active that so many years and

then thinking all of the work would be lost, it was awful. We just

didn't think we would reworking in the industry again. The factory was

about to be sold to a property developer, when at the 11th hour, a

knight in armour arrived with a rescue plan. This man used to earn

his living selling shoemakers, he had sold his business but wasn't

ready to hang up his boots. I had heard they were in trouble and I

thought it was a shame for it to go. 1881, a lot of skill here as

well. He wrote to the staff offering to buy the business and gave a

guarantee of a year's work and expressed confidence in the

heritage. I said I won't pay you what a property developer will, but

I will pay you a fair price. They said, in three weeks time you could

say, in three weeks it isn't working and close it and then sell it to a

property developer and make more money. I said, you have to believe

me that I won't do that. His offer was accepted, helped by the fact he

lived in Wollaston. We knew him from the village, knew what he was like.

So we gave him a go. The company changed its business model, no more

churning out thousands of the same pair of shoes or boots. Instead, an

emphasis on templates which could be customised to suit individual

retailers. It different colour, something as simple as the laces,

the detail around here. There is a lot of leather types and colours

that you can choose. We made 12 players to try the market and if it

grows, you can scale up accordingly. The made in Britain is the biggest

draw and combined with the flexibility and the minimum order

quantity, it is a massive advantage. The people here never regretted

allowing the man to take over the company and end over a century of

being run as a cooperative. At the time we had a share of the profits,

and we don't get that any more, but we would rather have a job. This

company has thrived from mass production to the top end of the

market. It shows it can survive in Britain again to optimism, hard work

and a fair deal of luck. Loads of pictures of your stag parties have

come in. We will show you a few now. This is

James, he went on the Bristol zombie walk.

This is William Taylor, snow white. He is trying to get the seven dwarfs

through customs. Amy, look at that for an outfit.

Fit for the skeleton. Dale Simons on his way to his stag party in Prague.

Let's go onto Sherlock. With Moriarty, there is a picture of

you with the suit on. Your fans could name where every piece of

clothing came from. Shirt from Spencer Hart. Very good. People are

obsessed. That is the shocking thing? Yes, they get involved. Have

you been surprised at how impressive -- obsessive some of these fans are?

I do avoid those, I don't go anywhere near that stuff because it

is terrifying, some of it. There is a great ownership of the show.

People have great affection for it from the beginning. It is unusual

for a show to have, sometimes it takes a few seasons for it to get

going, but people latched onto it very quickly. They know the Sherlock

Holmes name anyway. You are the ultimate, modern villain, but

sitting with you now, you are very amicable. He looks so nice. As

mariachi, what are you channelling because it is so dark and deep? You

are going to have to tell them you are an actor! It is a funny question

because I did not want to look at any other billion -- villains. I

tried to find what ever was dark in me. We all have a bit of a dark

side. Let C Moriarty and Sherlock in a battle of wits. This is from the

second series of Sherlock. It is going to start very soon, Sherlock.

The fall. Don't be scared, falling is just like flying except there is

a more permanent destination. Never liked riddles. Learn to, because I

go you a fall, Sherlock. I owe you! Andrew, what do you feel and think

when you watch that? You just ring, guard! I don't find it very easy to

watch that. I don't think many actors do like doing that. There is

talk about a complicated bring back of Moriarty, how would you like to

see him being brought back Ashton Mark that was very well put! I had

not thought about that. Yes you have, Andrew. There are endless

possibilities how he can keep dropping in and out? He is not

allowed to talk about it. If I were to reveal anything to people, they

would be bitterly disappointed. People think they want to know, but

they don't. Those who create it have thought long and hard? They have

been thinking about it for years. Some plots, it is the very beginning

of the show. OK. RU still enjoying yourself, mate? He looks petrified.

This is the second challenge. Amy would like to ask you a question.

OK, if you are going to take me out on a nice romantic meal, what would

you bring with you, where words we go and what would you do with me?

And that question to number one, please! Let's see how romantic you

are. Landowners. Wednesday night snakebite, and watch some football.

?1 50 a pint. I will come. I think we need clarification from Melissa.

Is he a real softy at heart? No, he doesn't know what the word romantic

is! Later, will he be wearing a Matt Baker inspired outfit to go on his

walking stag do? Or will it be a dress similar to mine? The fabric, I

can't imagine that on the Brecon Beacons! Here is a man who wasn't

afraid of dressing up. It's Elton John, talking about the album and

the costumes that made him famous. Elton John and Bernie Taupin have

one of the most successful songwriting partnerships in the

history of pop. Their seventh album, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, is

regarded as their best and has sold over 31 million copies worldwide. We

could have taken so many singles off the Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

album. The record company phoned up and said Benny and the Jets should

be the single in America. I told them I wanted Candle in the Wind. I

fought them so many times. For me, a white boy from Pinner who had grown

up loving black B6, I'd played the blues and R all my life. I let

them have their way. It shows you that as an artist sometimes you know

nothing. The 17 songs on the double album

were all written and recorded in May 1973, in just over two weeks. It is

impressive for me to look back at it and think it was recorded and

composed in such a short time. The band based themselves at a studio

outside Paris. It literally was like a mini creative factory. I would

write in the mornings. When the band were having breakfast, there was a

piano in there, I would come down and grab a cup of coffee and give

Elton a couple of lyrics I've been working on that morning. I would

write at breakfast at the table, the band would join in and by the time

breakfast was over we'd written and rehearsed two songs and gone into

the studio and recorded them. We were young, we wanted to conquer the

world. It was, like, wow! The man responsible for the album's sound

was record producer Gus Dudgeon. He was the fifth member of the band.

The sound of everything on the record was extraordinary. That was

down to him. Like the Beatles had George Martin, we had him. When Gus

Dudgeon was killed in a car accident in 2002, the songwriter 's lost a

friend and great talent. The guy to this day is still one of the

untapped geniuses of that particular era. I don't think he ever gets the

credit he deserves. You just have to listen to those records. Sonically,

there's nothing to touch them. Of all the tracks on the album, it is

side one track two that is the most famous. When it was performed at

Princess Diana's funeral, it became the soundtrack for a nation. I'm not

sure if I've ever said this, but the song, about the gulags, it's a

fantastic title. I had to come up with something that would work with

that title. # It seems to me you live your life

like a candle in the wind. It's an incredible marriage of

melody and lyrics. In 1973 it was at the top of the album charts on both

sides of the Atlantic. Elton became an international superstar, and his

onstage flamboyance reached new heights. I was a piano player, and a

piano is a nine foot plank that doesn't do very much. So I had to

draw attention to myself by having fun with the costumes and doing

whatever I could use the piano as prop. It was the album that really

established me in the charts. It was an incredible time in my life. That

makes me feel emotional because... Not sad, but incredibly happy. Thank

you, Cerys. The 40th anniversary release of Elton's Goodbye Yellow

Brick Road is out on the 25th of March. Haven't they done well so

far? Are you ready for the final challenge? Yes! We know that you and

a lot of the members of your stag party love a bit of American

football, with the Bournemouth Bobcats. Tonight, we have got the

ultimate American football team for you to have a go with. To show off

your physical prowess. Let's see the game the face. This is it. Are you

ready, Toby? Here we go. Meet the London cheerleaders.

MUSIC: "Gonna Fly Now (Theme From Rocky)" by Bill Conti.

Basically, Toby is going to join the squad. Quick tips but Toby for being

a good cheerleader. He has to be really enthusiastic, really flexible

and really athletic. He is going to couple with one of the girls,

Daniela. They will run through it. Get into position and put some music

on. Here we go. It starts with a little bit of a shimmy.

The chest comes into it, three little head flicks, one... There is

the second and finally... Bring in the hips. Walk around. Good, just

enjoy yourself for a moment. Here comes the high cake. Focus on the

high cake. And then you just get yourself into an end position to

strike a pose. You are going to be great. Get into

position. This is it. Remember, it's Matt's clothes or the dress. It

rides on this. Melissa, can you believe that your husband to be is

about to be a cheerleader live on the One Show?

There is the head flicks. There's two, and a third. Yes! Oh, he's lost

his antlers. Oh, yes! Get ready for picking. Here it comes.

Girls, wonderful stuff. Toby, well done. How did that feel? Terrifying.

I think you did a great job, but was it enough to get out of wearing a

dress like mine? We are going inside to have a bit of a conflab. From

bobcats to polecats and are very excited Miranda. For centuries, the

polecat was public enemy number one, because of its taste for chickens,

thousands were killed as gamekeepers and farmers hunted them to the point

of extinction in England. By the 1950s, only 5000 were left in the

UK, with the bulk of that population squeezed into remote parts of mid

Wales. You might expect these timid and rather elusive creatures to be

found in very rural settings, woodland, forest, maybe even wild

meadows. But polecats are starting to make their homes in some rather

unlikely places. Today there are approximately 55,000 polecats in

Britain. But despite that, sightings of them are extremely rare. However,

I've had a tip-off about a female polecat discovered rearing a litter

of young. I've been sent some amateur footage of the polecats, and

we want to see if we can capture this rare creature on camera

ourselves, in what turns out to be a surprisingly urban location. We've

already set up special night vision HD cameras, and now I'm hoping to

see these urban polecats for myself. The owners of the house want to

protect them and don't want to be filmed. But, as night descends, all

the house lights are switched off. I've been joined by polecat exposed

Henry Scofield, of the Vincent Wildlife Trust. These animals were

born in late May, early June. They will have been with the mother in

this garage since then, for the last two or three months. Usually during

July and early August they will stop to come out with the mother on

hunting trips. And when we view the amateur footage that has been shot,

hunting of a very urban nature seems to be exactly what these polecats

are up to. Quite frenetic activity. It is, it's lovely, though. It puts

a smile on your face. It is so unique. I've never seen this sort of

footage. It looks like a piece of chicken she has collected somewhere

locally. She's really struggling. It will go! She can't even get it

through the hole into the garage. Coming back and grabbing that. It's

spectacular. Tell me why they are called polecats. It's from a French

word. It means chicken cat. It's because they like chicken. But have

we been lucky enough to catch the hungry polecats on the prowl with

our own polecat camera station? This is probably the last of the

kittens. The mother has gone and this is the last kitten that's left.

They are so beautiful. When you catch sight of their face, they are

so appealing. They are very inquisitive looking animals. If I

had one of those in my garden I would be jumping for joy. This is a

close-up. That little hole under the garage door. Isn't that

spectacular? Look at those big claws as well. You can see how sinuous

they are. It's just such an unusual place to see them. You keep

reminding yourself this is right out there, it's incredible. So it took a

long time but our suburban nature hide did allow us to capture some

really magical footage of polecats. Reviewing that footage shot a few

days ago of these charming creatures, that was truly magical.

Creatures with such an extraordinarily survival instinct

that they choose to live cheek by jowl with us, the oldest enemies.

Anyway, it is very late now and I'm off to bed with a big smile on my

face! Wouldn't it be nice to have a

polecat on the show? Beautiful. This is brilliant. Dressed as wonder

woman last weekend on his stag. -year-old Tristan spent his whole

stag weekend in Paris dressed up as a giant fish. Go on, Patrick. That's

a particularly ropey one. This is Robert Seymour, a little worse for

wear. Is that Gavin, or is he dressed as they red, leather sofa?

This is en route to Bratislava, where I'm sure he may have fitted in

quite well. The moment has come to reveal Toby in his stag do outfit.

Are we ready? Melissa, are you ready? Put your thumbs up if you are

ready to see your husband. What is he wearing?

MUSIC "Dude Looks Like Lady" by Aerosmith.

Melissa, do you still want to marry him? Yeah. Thank you to all of our

guests tonight. Patrick and Amy will be battling it out in Clash of the

Titans next Friday night. We will be here tomorrow with Terry Gilliam.
