:00:21. > :00:27.with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. Our guest tonight has been on most of

:00:28. > :00:32.the rungs of the social ladder. She has enjoyed high society, blessed

:00:33. > :00:36.with beauty and wealth. But after falling on hard times she ended up

:00:37. > :00:40.living in a crowded shed with a saucepan for a hat. After that, the

:00:41. > :00:45.chance to get back on her feet, even if it was just working in a dodgy

:00:46. > :00:55.pub in the back streets of Manchester. It is Maureen Lipman. We

:00:56. > :01:01.saw you there as the landlady in Corrie. What is it like looking back

:01:02. > :01:07.on that eclectic career? It is like watching your own obituary. You

:01:08. > :01:13.looked stunning in those pictures. Not many people can carry off a

:01:14. > :01:17.saucepan. I have a skill for it. It was the right saucepan for the right

:01:18. > :01:22.face. That was from my late husband's play. Not that I could see

:01:23. > :01:30.it because I have my glasses in my hand. But I recognised the saucepan.

:01:31. > :01:36.And the happiest time? The best time was at the old Vic, 1970, Laurence

:01:37. > :01:42.Olivier's company, playing tiny parts, understudying and learning.

:01:43. > :01:46.The whole thing was the kind of training you can't get any more. You

:01:47. > :01:51.are back on the West End stage very shortly. We will talk about that

:01:52. > :01:58.later. Have a look at this, our World Cup wall chart. It is finally

:01:59. > :02:02.complete. Just in time for tonight's opening game, Brazil

:02:03. > :02:09.against Croatia. Or should we should -- should be say, Luiza and

:02:10. > :02:14.Zdravko, because they are representing the countries on our

:02:15. > :02:18.wall chart. For one third of the nation the tournament is a switch

:02:19. > :02:22.off and many will be getting their television kicks elsewhere. You

:02:23. > :02:26.might be thinking of signing up to an entertainment streaming service,

:02:27. > :02:30.but how good are they? Here is Dan Donnelly.

:02:31. > :02:35.Watching a movie is not as straightforward as it used to be.

:02:36. > :02:39.Nowadays, streaming or downloading films and TV shows straight to our

:02:40. > :02:44.laptops, tablets or phones is fast becoming the way to go. In fact, the

:02:45. > :02:53.amount we are spending on digital services went up by 40% last year,

:02:54. > :02:57.up to ?621 million. And online services have been so successful

:02:58. > :03:01.they are now even commissioning their own exclusive content. But

:03:02. > :03:07.what do the different services offer for your money? We are putting five

:03:08. > :03:15.of them to the test. Netflix, Amazon prime instant video, Blinkbox, Now

:03:16. > :03:21.TV, and iTunes. And here at a cinema near Cardiff, the staff are the

:03:22. > :03:26.perfect volunteers to try them out. I usually love to watch the White

:03:27. > :03:30.Queen, game of thrones and historical dramas. I want something

:03:31. > :03:36.that tells me what to do, press whatever button and I have a film to

:03:37. > :03:40.watch. We have given them access to all five services for one month,

:03:41. > :03:42.plenty of time to get to know them. And we have given them

:03:43. > :03:47.plenty of time to get to know them. And we have given a set of

:03:48. > :03:52.challenges. Challenge number one. Find one of 25 all-time classic

:03:53. > :03:57.films. Branwen is using Tesco's pay-as-you-go service, blank box,

:03:58. > :04:05.with rentals starting at 99p. She is looking for Schindler 's list. Yes,

:04:06. > :04:12.I can access it here. It is ?6 99. You can buy it for that. But it is

:04:13. > :04:17.not available to rent and costs more than a month's subscription to

:04:18. > :04:26.services like Netflix and Now TV. I might check Amazon. Here we are.

:04:27. > :04:34.Schindler 's list. Rent from ?3.49, and you get it on HD as well. Second

:04:35. > :04:38.challenge, tracked down a classic dish TV comedy. Peter has been

:04:39. > :04:44.having a look through iTunes. It may have made its name in music but also

:04:45. > :04:49.offers a huge number of films and TV shows to watch on a pay-as-you-go

:04:50. > :04:56.basis. Today, he is seeing if it has the first series of Blackadder.

:04:57. > :04:59.ITunes is OK. I find it a bit clunky. Sometimes if you conduct a

:05:00. > :05:08.search, you get soundtracks, spin offs. It does clutter up the page a

:05:09. > :05:13.bit. He did find Blackadder for ?1.49 per episode, 40p cheaper than

:05:14. > :05:17.blank box. They have now reached the halfway point, and the volunteers

:05:18. > :05:22.are beginning to settle on their favourite services, but will the

:05:23. > :05:27.next challenge change their mind? Watch one of the new movie releases.

:05:28. > :05:33.Chris has found only a handful of the films he wanted on Netflix. On

:05:34. > :05:39.Amazon prime instant video, which costs ?5.99 per month, he finds some

:05:40. > :05:44.of his choices cost extra, and the layout is unclear. I am going to

:05:45. > :05:49.start shopping, start reading. This is not what I expected. I was hoping

:05:50. > :05:55.I would get into where the films would be. Challenge number four.

:05:56. > :05:59.Pick a hit American TV drama boxed set. Alex is searching for the

:06:00. > :06:05.political drama the West Wing, but he cannot find it on Now TV, which

:06:06. > :06:13.for ?4.99 per month only offers access to sky services. On blank

:06:14. > :06:18.box, cost is an issue. Series one is ?18.99. That goes on to the other

:06:19. > :06:23.series. If I was to get into this, I would have to be prepared to pay

:06:24. > :06:27.quite a lot for it. So it has been one month and we are back at the

:06:28. > :06:38.cinema to find out which service scored highest with the testers.

:06:39. > :06:46.Which one would you go for? Amazon. Definitely Blinkbox. Blinkbox.

:06:47. > :06:50.Blinkbox. Blinkbox. While the pay-as-you-go pricing could quickly

:06:51. > :06:53.add up, the volunteers found the service easy to and were impressed

:06:54. > :07:01.by its range of new and classic films.

:07:02. > :07:10.Boyd Hilton is here now. Is this the future of TV? Partly. It gives a new

:07:11. > :07:14.way of watching TV, a way to find stuff, but I still think people

:07:15. > :07:18.watching TV live, this kind of show, events like the royal wedding,

:07:19. > :07:22.watched by 24 million, Strictly Come Dancing, those shows, that is still

:07:23. > :07:29.the way most people like to watch, and I do not think that will change.

:07:30. > :07:34.We are not out of a job! It is the anticipation of waiting for the next

:07:35. > :07:40.week. There are contrasts. Netflix puts all its episodes in one. They

:07:41. > :07:43.say that is the future. But people like watching serial drama week by

:07:44. > :07:52.week, six or 7 million people watching things on the BBC. We used

:07:53. > :07:52.to be depressed if we got 6 million. But that is

:07:53. > :07:59.to be depressed if we got 6 million. But that many more than are watching

:08:00. > :08:03.on Netflix. You cannot tweet about something if you have watched all 13

:08:04. > :08:04.episodes and you do not know who has watched them. Communal viewing is

:08:05. > :08:11.best. watched them. Communal viewing is

:08:12. > :08:17.And is the single player making a comeback? Sky is doing single plays.

:08:18. > :08:25.They are the only people touching the arts. What about laptops? This

:08:26. > :08:30.is a streaming stick, which you plug into your TV and it turns into a

:08:31. > :08:34.smart TV. You still pay for the services individually but it makes

:08:35. > :08:40.it easy. Anyone can have a TV and watch all of those shows however you

:08:41. > :08:45.want. Do you still pay the subscriptions? Yes. If you click

:08:46. > :08:51.Netflix on your phone this will stream it to your TV but you still

:08:52. > :08:56.have to pay. Thank you. Does it depress you, Maureen? I have three

:08:57. > :09:05.remotes and I don't remotely understand what they do. Don't worry

:09:06. > :09:08.about it. New figures show that one in five people diagnosed with cancer

:09:09. > :09:13.waited over three months before visiting a doctor about their

:09:14. > :09:16.symptoms. But one businessman has come up with an enterprising way of

:09:17. > :09:26.encouraging others like him to get themselves checked out early.

:09:27. > :09:30.If you take your car to the garage, you expect a full and thorough

:09:31. > :09:33.checkup, but you do not expect the mechanic to tell you to get a

:09:34. > :09:39.checkup as well. I am about to meet a man who tells people to do just

:09:40. > :09:43.that. Errol has run a Garrard in Hoxton for over 25 years, and since

:09:44. > :09:50.2010 he has been urging his customers to get checked out the

:09:51. > :09:55.cancer, and for good reason. Talk me through where the journey started.

:09:56. > :09:59.My wife was complaining about my snoring. I said, make an appointment

:10:00. > :10:05.with the doctor and I will go. I sat in reception. While I was sitting

:10:06. > :10:11.there, something prodded me to get up and pick up a leaflet. The

:10:12. > :10:15.leaflet asked a question - have you spoken to your GP about prostate

:10:16. > :10:20.cancer? I asked how long the test would take and she said ten minutes

:10:21. > :10:26.and they could do it now. It saved his life, as a further test revealed

:10:27. > :10:30.he had advanced prostate cancer. He said, your prostate is covered in

:10:31. > :10:34.cancer, you could be dead in six months. How did your wife respond?

:10:35. > :10:37.She let me cry and then she turned months. How did your wife respond?

:10:38. > :10:40.She let me cry and then around and said, you have never quit anything

:10:41. > :10:46.in your life, so what are you going to do now? That was when I made the

:10:47. > :10:50.decision to turn this negative into a positive. Having survived a major

:10:51. > :10:55.operation in three months of radiation, he finally got the all

:10:56. > :11:00.clear in 2012. He now encourages customers to get tested for the

:11:01. > :11:04.disease. What do you say to your customers? When was the last time

:11:05. > :11:09.your job prostate check? You brought in your car for me to check because

:11:10. > :11:14.there is a problem. Do you know what is going on on your inside? And then

:11:15. > :11:18.I say, I am offering a 20% discount if you get yourself checked and you

:11:19. > :11:24.show me proof that you have done that. I talk to men of all ages,

:11:25. > :11:29.women, because they get the message across. I preach this every day. 26

:11:30. > :11:35.people that have come into this place of business have been

:11:36. > :11:43.diagnosed with prostate cancer. Of those 26 two have unfortunately lost

:11:44. > :11:47.their lives. It is silent killer. One day, I went past and he

:11:48. > :11:53.mentioned prostate to me. I did not think anything of it. I decided to

:11:54. > :12:00.pop to my doctor. He told me that my thing had slightly swollen up. Your

:12:01. > :12:06.prostate. Yes. He had a look and gave me something to sort it out. Do

:12:07. > :12:08.you think it saved your life? Definitely. If it was not for Errol,

:12:09. > :12:22.I would never have known. What impact did Errol being ill have

:12:23. > :12:27.on you? It frightened me, because I have known him for so long, to see

:12:28. > :12:33.him going down so quickly. And to see him in the hospital shocked me

:12:34. > :12:39.into doing it. Have you told other people to have tests? Loads of them,

:12:40. > :12:47.everyone who comes in. I think it is brilliant what you guys are doing.

:12:48. > :12:52.Brilliant. If you get your husband to get his

:12:53. > :13:00.prostate checked, you will get a 20% discount. That is a good deal. Thank

:13:01. > :13:04.you. What a brilliant man. He has

:13:05. > :13:09.effectively saved 24 people. The world needs more people like Errol.

:13:10. > :13:15.There is a link to Prostate Cancer UK on our website. We were just

:13:16. > :13:20.saying that you lost your husband to cancer ten years ago. It is not one

:13:21. > :13:24.of the ones that you can get a test for because it presents itself in

:13:25. > :13:29.very different ways. But this guy is doing something. This is real

:13:30. > :13:32.empathy. It is funny that you have to go through it in order to

:13:33. > :13:39.empathise in the way that he has. Nobel prize -- Nobel Peace Prize,

:13:40. > :13:42.Errol. Mind you, if a woman goes in and he says, have you had your

:13:43. > :13:53.prostate tested, slightly less effective! Let's talk about your new

:13:54. > :13:56.play. If you must. You are back in the West End, starring in Daytona.

:13:57. > :14:02.Tell us about the play and the character. I will just tell you that

:14:03. > :14:08.I did not think this play would come in. We played it at a theatre for

:14:09. > :14:12.six weeks, we toured with it for seven weeks. We got great notices,

:14:13. > :14:18.and then it suddenly went, there is no theatre. I thought of putting it

:14:19. > :14:23.on in my living room, but the dog and the rabbit and everything, it is

:14:24. > :14:28.a bit tricky. Suddenly, this gap at the Haymarket came up. I can't tell

:14:29. > :14:33.you what it means to me. My kids always say to me, are you sad that

:14:34. > :14:42.Oklahoma has finished. I always say, it has gone on. But with this

:14:43. > :14:45.one... Why? I couldn't get it out of my mind. I would brush my teeth and

:14:46. > :14:50.think about the character brushing her teeth. It is really in my soul.

:14:51. > :14:55.I found the play because Oliver Cotton, the actor who wrote it, I

:14:56. > :14:59.was directing him in something else. He said, I have this play. I read it

:15:00. > :15:05.and I showed it to someone at the Park Theatre. He said, I will do it

:15:06. > :15:09.if you are in it. I never thought of myself in it because it is a sort of

:15:10. > :15:14.tug of love between two brothers and one woman. It is difficult to tell

:15:15. > :15:18.you what it is about, but without giving too much away, because it is

:15:19. > :15:24.a thriller as well as a love story, my husband and I are practising for

:15:25. > :15:29.a ballroom dancing in New York. And I go out to get my dress, and the

:15:30. > :15:37.brother comes back, he has been on the run, he has been missing for 30

:15:38. > :15:43.years, and he was very close to me. So he has not only done something

:15:44. > :15:47.very dangerous and suspicious, but he just opens up our lives in a way

:15:48. > :15:53.we have managed to close it and compress it. It does not sound

:15:54. > :16:00.funny, but it is. It is Harry Shearer. Mr Burns, from The

:16:01. > :16:05.Simpsons. It was John Bob, who is wonderful, but he is with the Royal

:16:06. > :16:15.Shakespeare Company now. But we have the author, Oliver Cotton, playing

:16:16. > :16:20.the part he wrote. He is all right! When you ask me, that is all I have

:16:21. > :16:25.got to say about it, except to say I have never been in anything which

:16:26. > :16:29.has given me more joy. And that includes Oklahoma. I found this

:16:30. > :16:36.fascinating, I know the area where you are from, your name could have

:16:37. > :16:40.been very different. I was going to call myself Beverley Westwood at one

:16:41. > :16:45.time. Outside Hull there is a strip of land called Beverley Westwood. I

:16:46. > :16:53.was going to change my name to Beverley Westwood. I could not find

:16:54. > :16:57.anything I really liked. And in case you're wondering, what

:16:58. > :17:03.Beverley Westwood looks like, here it is there you go! Does that take

:17:04. > :17:11.you back? Can you believe how I got myself together is that I did not

:17:12. > :17:17.try at all. Did I look like Amy Wine house? Are you glad you didn't go

:17:18. > :17:23.for Beverley now? I am really glad you showed me that clip. Next time I

:17:24. > :17:29.will be more hung out. A nice little surprise for you. And you can see

:17:30. > :17:34.Maureen in Daytona at London's Theatre Royal. Coming up later, can

:17:35. > :17:40.Maureen Bend It Like Beckham and get the ball into our net? We will see.

:17:41. > :17:45.First of all, Tony Livesey has been to meet a man with a very tough job.

:17:46. > :17:50.He has been trying to bring some closure to families whose relatives

:17:51. > :17:57.went missing more than 30 years ago. It is hard to believe what happened.

:17:58. > :17:59.The thought that you might be walking over the exact spot where

:18:00. > :18:09.his remains are, it is very difficult. Kieron and Shane's

:18:10. > :18:14.brother went missing in 1978. Over 30 years later, he has still not

:18:15. > :18:20.been found. He is one of the so-called disappeared. 16 men and

:18:21. > :18:25.women who were accused of being informants and then murdered and

:18:26. > :18:31.buried at secret locations by republican paramilitaries during the

:18:32. > :18:34.Troubles. This is an ex-police officer who now has the task of

:18:35. > :18:39.trying to find the bodies of those still missing. Today he is meeting

:18:40. > :18:51.with some of the families to update them on some of the developments.

:18:52. > :18:57.How would you go about finding people? We totally rely on

:18:58. > :19:05.information we receive. Are there any advances in the searchers?

:19:06. > :19:17.Sadly, we have not got anything of substance that we could hang our hat

:19:18. > :19:22.on in terms of the search. This is Ann. Her brother was

:19:23. > :19:28.teaching when he was taken by the INLA. When they tried to find her

:19:29. > :19:32.brother, they were threatened. In a room in Belfast. And INLA man

:19:33. > :19:37.pointed to me and said, if you go to Paris, you are dead, and all your

:19:38. > :19:46.family are under threat. So from 1985, we had to be silent. We could

:19:47. > :19:50.not ask about him. For 14 years that threat was there with us. I used to

:19:51. > :19:56.look underneath my car in the mornings, just in case when I put my

:19:57. > :20:01.two children in the car. We need to find our brother. We need to bring

:20:02. > :20:09.him back. Do you speak to Seamus? Everyday I talk to him. I say I am

:20:10. > :20:16.still working for you. And I will work for him. I will keep this

:20:17. > :20:22.campaign going as long as I can. Philomena's brother was just 16 when

:20:23. > :20:26.he disappeared in 1972. The first thought in my head was did they

:20:27. > :20:30.torture him? Did they let him die before they put him down a hole. I

:20:31. > :20:36.torture myself thinking about these things. Why were these people

:20:37. > :20:40.disappeared? Some of these people were accused of being informants, in

:20:41. > :20:45.cahoots with the security forces. Some of them, we do not know. People

:20:46. > :20:50.with information about the disappeared can come forward to the

:20:51. > :20:58.commission for the victims remains without fear of persecution. Seven

:20:59. > :21:04.people are still missing. Last year -- last month, Gerry Adams was

:21:05. > :21:08.arrested in connection with one of the disappeared, Jean McConville. He

:21:09. > :21:12.was released without charge. The fear is that now such a high-profile

:21:13. > :21:18.arrest may put people off from coming forward with information.

:21:19. > :21:26.Ciaran's brother Brendan was 22 years old when he disappeared in

:21:27. > :21:32.1978. His body is believed to be buried in a bog across the border at

:21:33. > :21:37.in the Republic. It is an hour and a half's drive from Belfast. What kind

:21:38. > :21:46.of area is it? It is a fairly remote bogland. It is a vast area.

:21:47. > :21:52.Meeting us here today is Jeff and also Brendan's other brother Shane.

:21:53. > :21:56.He is pretty certain Brendan's body is buried here but after three

:21:57. > :22:02.diggs, still nothing. What are you thinking now when you stand here?

:22:03. > :22:06.The fact that he was brought here. I am sure he was alive and he knew

:22:07. > :22:11.what was going to happen. It is hard to believe what happened to him.

:22:12. > :22:19.Sometimes you want to come down and dig yourself. You are relying on

:22:20. > :22:25.people's memories in all these cases and as you can see, that would have

:22:26. > :22:30.changed enormously over time. Over 30 years on, there are still seven

:22:31. > :22:35.bodies buried in places like this. The pain for the families is only

:22:36. > :22:38.imaginable. If you have any information whatsoever about the

:22:39. > :22:51.disappeared, please call this number.

:22:52. > :22:56.Thanks, Tony. Now, all week, people have been having a go at bending it

:22:57. > :23:04.like Beckham. Somebody not far from me did pretty well. Let's have a

:23:05. > :23:11.look. Yes! I was over the moon! Maureen

:23:12. > :23:15.had a goal earlier. We will show you the effort in slow motion towards

:23:16. > :23:24.the end of the programme. This is more like Bend it Sepp Blatter.

:23:25. > :23:30.Actually, this afternoon, Jeremy Vine turned up. Here he goes. He is

:23:31. > :23:39.in his suit. Credit where credit is due. Does he do it? No! He got

:23:40. > :23:43.Graham Norton. However tricky that challenges, we gave Mike Dilger an

:23:44. > :23:49.even bigger one. We said, go and find us a golden pheasant.

:23:50. > :23:55.In a Church in Suffolk is a stained-glass window. It depicts

:23:56. > :23:59.Saint Francis, the patron saint of animals with birds found in the

:24:00. > :24:02.surrounding area. In amongst the British wildlife is a decidedly

:24:03. > :24:06.exotic bird at the bottom of the pain here, which has been living in

:24:07. > :24:13.the woods close to this church for well over 100 years. It is the

:24:14. > :24:19.golden pheasant. Native to China, golden pheasants were introduced to

:24:20. > :24:22.the UK for shooting in the 1700s. In the 1800s, an Indian prince brought

:24:23. > :24:33.them to his Norfolk estate. These birds could be the ancestors of 1's

:24:34. > :24:36.alive today. Pretty much all we know about golden pheasants is from

:24:37. > :24:42.captivity and that is not a lot. In the wild there has been one study.

:24:43. > :24:48.From Paul's records, he knows the population is seriously dwindling.

:24:49. > :24:53.In China, it has lost 70% of its habitat, the bamboo forest. The

:24:54. > :25:10.population is declining. Here in the UK there are probably we will have

:25:11. > :25:16.to work for it. These are extremely shy birds. Three weeks ago Paul left

:25:17. > :25:20.motion triggered cameras in the hope of learning more about these elusive

:25:21. > :25:25.birds. Our whole variety of birds are captured but not the one we are

:25:26. > :25:30.after which just goes to show how difficult it will be to track one

:25:31. > :25:33.down. Golden pheasants are most active at dawn. We decided to

:25:34. > :25:40.convene at first light the next morning. 6am, we are up early. It is

:25:41. > :25:47.hard to see in this night but after 30 minutes of searching we get our

:25:48. > :25:54.first lead. I just heard it, the first golden pheasant call. The

:25:55. > :25:59.deeper we going to the forest, the more difficult it becomes to see.

:26:00. > :26:04.With the birds roost in 25 feet up, we have to rely purely on our

:26:05. > :26:17.hearing to locate them. They are chirping away like no one's. -- no

:26:18. > :26:22.one's business. It wants other pheasants in the area to know it is

:26:23. > :26:28.here and more importantly other females. As the sun comes up, I get

:26:29. > :26:35.to see how truly stunning this bird is. It has beautiful red feathers.

:26:36. > :26:45.Copper is all around the back of the neck. An orange crested mohawk. And

:26:46. > :26:49.the tail. This shy bird spends a lot of time in the safety of the trees

:26:50. > :26:56.but it's food of bugs and grubs is found on the forest floor. It is

:26:57. > :27:07.coming down. Here it comes, climbing its way down. On the ground. Lovely,

:27:08. > :27:11.look at that! The bird seems comfortable enough in our presence

:27:12. > :27:16.to come down onto the ground but it soon heads off to forage. It doesn't

:27:17. > :27:24.get better than that. It has been here 100 years. Let's hope it is

:27:25. > :27:30.here for another hundred years. He is an animal magnet, wherever he

:27:31. > :27:34.goes he sees what he is looking for! Brazil will be kicking off the World

:27:35. > :27:39.Cup in Sao Paulo at nine o'clock tonight. A few Brazilian fans have

:27:40. > :27:46.been warming up by having a lovely go at our challenge. Lots of folk

:27:47. > :27:52.have been turning up. Look who is here, Simon Mayo has turned up! I

:27:53. > :27:57.should never have agreed to this. I have not kicked a ball in 40 years.

:27:58. > :28:19.Simon will have a go. That was a very good at that! I

:28:20. > :28:24.thought it would go on the roof! Earlier on... We have got one!

:28:25. > :28:25.Earlier on, Maureen rose to the challenge and this is how she got

:28:26. > :28:49.on. Absolutely a member sex Mac a good

:28:50. > :28:56.effort. The beautiful game. -- absolutely true menders.

:28:57. > :29:07.You can see Maureen in Daytona at London's Haymarket from June the

:29:08. > :29:11.26th. It is World Cup fever! When we are back we have a live Glastonbury

:29:12. > :29:18.special. If you have got a story about your tent, get in touch and we

:29:19. > :29:20.will see one a week
