Hello and welcome to The One Show with Alex Jones and Matt Baker. | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
Tonight we're firing the starting gun on the hunt for the UK's | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
The phone, the jet engine, even - get this - concrete. | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
Television is one of the seven brilliant innovations that will be | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
champion on the show this week and without television, tonight 's | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
guests might find themselves in a spot of trouble. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
They're the stars of a big new TV drama called Riviera; she's usually | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
found spying for Jason Bourne, and he's Britain's | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
favourite Hustler - it's Julia Stiles and Adrian Lester. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
The full list is: TV, mobile phone, jet engine, | :00:53. | :01:03. | |
steam engine, anti-biotics, concrete and the fridge - | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
You reminded us, if we did not have televisions, we would not have jobs! | :01:10. | :01:18. | |
Without concrete, no homes! To be fair, there are a lot of homes not | :01:19. | :01:25. | |
built with concrete. All right, country file! General building | :01:26. | :01:26. | |
knowledge. French Riviera adventure, | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
more on that later. We're all used to delays | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
on the railways, but 45 years That's how long Swanage to Wareham | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
line passengers have been waiting for a train, | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
but tomorrow night, I am nostalgic for an era of train | :01:42. | :02:01. | |
travel that I barely remember. It was in an age of corridors and | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
compartments in which older passengers looked like Celia Johnson | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
and Trevor Howard and we were all off to the seaside with sandwiches. | :02:13. | :02:18. | |
On a day trip to Dorset perhaps, taking in the beautiful countryside | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
from Swanage up to Wareham which was something you could not do up until | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the early 1970s, but then, claiming the route was losing money, British | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
Rail close down the service and ripped up the track, sleepers and | :02:33. | :02:39. | |
all. The last passenger train to Wareham ran in 1972. Former | :02:40. | :02:41. | |
signalman Bob Richards was on chip that day. -- shift. This is your old | :02:42. | :02:50. | |
signal box? Yes. This was the box that I worked on. Who is this | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
long-haired youth? That is me. That was taken about one week before a | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
close. But we have here? This is the last train register. Signs off duty | :03:03. | :03:09. | |
and I put gone but not forgotten. So you did! At the bottom. Swanage was | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
now cut off from the national rail network. The tracks were left | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
abandoned. Mark is from the local railway society. The railway had | :03:20. | :03:27. | |
been very popular, particularly with the tourists and holiday-makers and | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
that was all gone. Coastal towns like Swanage depend on seasonal | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
business and they had lost a vital link to the outside world. This | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
really news is that it's all about to change and that change has come | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
about because of the hard work, the dedication and the sheer passion of | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
a group of local enthusiasts. Nice to meet you. Pete Cross is a | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
lifelong rail fanatic and spent his youth riding up and down the Swanage | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
line. It was a sad time when the railway close but this was my | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
passion. Pete and a group of volunteers vowed to reopen the line | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
and set up the Swanage Railway Society and in 1976, with permission | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
from the council, they began clearing the disused line and laying | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
new tracks by hand. We got together, but of friends and we were going to | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
put some more tracked down. Here we go. We had to learn all of the | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
actual jobs to do, with building, engineering, mechanical engineering. | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
The line slowly grew and by 1995, the group, now working as a charity, | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
had laid enough track to offer heritage train rides. But Pete | :04:46. | :04:53. | |
always had a bigger drain. Our ambition was to reconnect the | :04:54. | :05:00. | |
Swanage Railway to the network. Bring us back to civilisation. And | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
that is exactly what is about to happen. This stretch of track, | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
completed just a few months ago is the missing link back to the | :05:11. | :05:16. | |
national railway line of Wareham. We had to put 3000 tonnes of ballast | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
down here, it is three quarters of a mile of rail which costs about | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
?300,000. In total, it costs ?5.5 million just to complete this part | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
of the track. With most of the money coming from the local council and | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
grants. This was not always the way. When we started rebuilding this | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
project, we actually put our hands into our pockets to buy materials. | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
People were very generous to supply funding in all sorts of ways. The | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
full ten mile track is now ready to run its first diesel passenger | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
service in more than 45 years. These are the engines you will be using? | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
Absolutely. Tomorrow morning, passengers will once again be able | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
to hop on board a train service between Swanage and Wareham. Now | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
operated by West Coast Railways on the half of the charity's business | :06:13. | :06:21. | |
arm. Here we go! It is all thanks to Pete and his pals. For me, when that | :06:22. | :06:27. | |
train goes out of Swanage tomorrow morning, it will be the culmination | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
of tens of thousands of hours of work and I never thought we would do | :06:31. | :06:37. | |
it. Wow! We have made it! He is happy. You cannot imagine how that | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
must feel. It is a brilliant story. I often am on the line run? It will | :06:40. | :06:53. | |
be four services a day each way. It will be all year round and they will | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
guarantee for years. They will see how it goes. We heard Andy saying it | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
was happening around the UK, so which other communities are trying | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
to turn back the clock? It is pretty difficult to build your own railway! | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
For volunteers to do it is incredible. With that in mind, there | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
is an intriguing project happening on the banks of the River Severn. It | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
is the bane of Berkeley -- Vale of Berkeley railway. It is going to be | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
a heritage railway and they will run steam services. There is really not | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
attract air, they are having to lay the track and recover bits of old | :07:37. | :07:41. | |
track as well. This is that the early 1960s, that was Berkeley | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
station and it was demolished in 1984. They are digging down and they | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
want to rebuild it exactly. They are digging into the foundations and | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
build it in the same proportions. That is some old track. They are | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
going through someone's garden. Huge amount of work, 330 volunteers the | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
surrounding area. These are people who are retired, perhaps engineers | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
or project managers and they channel their energy into this. How long do | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
they think it will take? They hope to have a running by 2020. I imagine | :08:16. | :08:22. | |
they will be inspired by the project and Swanage because when it is | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
completed, it will be linked to the mainline. There could be passenger | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
services. Julia, can you imagine communities doing that? Do think the | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
people of Swanage to come to Newark city? There is a subway line that is | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
not doing so well. I'm sure they will be watching. That is amazing. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
There is some government money available for government projects | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
like this. It seems like the Wii are undoing the cuts made by the | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Beeching Report. In the last 20 years, the number of passenger | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
journeys has doubled and there are some really important projects. | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
About 200 proposals for a new line across England and Wales. Couple of | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
years ago, the Borders Railway opened, that was from Edinburgh to | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Carlisle and part of it opened, as far as tweed bank and it has been | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
incredibly successful and they thought maybe 650,000 people would | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
use it in the first year but it was 1 million. One day, there are quite | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
a few people out there who would like to see it completed and sent it | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
go all the way to Carlisle because until it opened, the borders of | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
Scotland had been without a railway since 1969. Thank you. I hope | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
everyone in Swanage and Wareham have a great day. | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
We all know the importance of giving blood but if we are honest most | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
of us probably donate less than we could despite the constant | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
As NHS Blood week gets underway, Scarlette Douglas has a very | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
Blood. Each of us has around nine pints of it but back in 2001, nearly | :09:52. | :10:04. | |
?50 of other people's blood was needed to save the life of my | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
brother if he was stabbed by a burglar. Emergency services worked | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
tirelessly through the night to save Andrew's like that they were not the | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
only heroes. 48 strangers donated their blood and that was not for | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
them, my brother would not be here today. The NHS in England alone need | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
6000 pints of blood every day yet only 4% of us regularly | :10:23. | :10:37. | |
donate our own. I am ashamed to say, despite the experience of my family, | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
this will be the first time I have given blood, but better late than | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
never. Giving blood is just the start of a huge operation. Once | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
donated, the blood has to be used within 35 days and with the clock | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
ticking, mine is immediately bagged up for the next part of its journey | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
and I am following where it goes next. Only a few hours later it | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
arrives here, this is the blood and transport centre in Bristol. One of | :10:58. | :11:00. | |
five centres in the UK and it is the largest of its kind in the world. 11 | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
and a half thousand blood donations come here every week to be | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
processed. It is huge. Mine enters the system immediately. There is one | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
of them some there. The centre manager make sure that every drop | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
gets to where it is most needed. This machine is separating my blood | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
into different components. Red cells are the most common product, they | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
for anaemia are post-operative surgery. My blood is split into | :11:30. | :11:34. | |
three parts. Red blood cells, plasma and platelets. It allows it to go | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
further as some people only need one component. Next the blood is green | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
for infections and diseases and the blood group identified. Like most of | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
us, I have no idea what mine is. Your sample is right here. My plasma | :11:48. | :11:57. | |
and red blood cells. It is exciting. There are four main blood groups, A, | :11:58. | :12:05. | |
B, a B and O. Each group is either rhesus positive or negative, which | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
is determined by the presence of a protein on the surface of a sale. It | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
is vital that we receive the blood that matches our own as each type | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
has a different, nation of antigens and antibodies. One hour later, my | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
results are in. You are all positive but part of that positive is a | :12:25. | :12:31. | |
phenotype which is really rare, so about 1000 donors have that type. | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
You will go straight into special stop. That is, really emotional. For | :12:38. | :12:44. | |
all these years, I have not actually given blood and I have a really rare | :12:45. | :12:52. | |
blood type. We will definitely be getting you back into donate again. | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
It turns out that people with Jamaican heritage like me are ten | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
times more likely to have a rare blood type, but they are one of the | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
communities who donate the least. My rare blood is still in demand that | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
it will only stay here for a few days before being picked and taken | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
to where it is needed. From here blood can be delivered in minutes | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
using helicopters and motorbikes, but not all blood transfusions are | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
emergencies. I have come to this centre in Bristol to follow the last | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
eight of the journey for this blood. Aaron has sickle cell anaemia, a | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
genetic disorder that affects the shape of his blood cells and | :13:30. | :13:31. | |
requires regular blood transfusions. My blood was clotting and block the | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
artery. You think you have your whole life ahead of you and then... | :13:42. | :13:49. | |
To stop Aaron suffering further strokes, he has been relying on | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
other blood for a decade. I am extremely thankful, because without | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
them I would not be here today. What would you say to those people who | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
are not giving blood? Just try and pluck up the courage to donate. Even | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
if it is just once, one unit can help three people. Seeing this whole | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
process today has been such a humbling experience. Donating blood | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
is an astonishing feat of medicine, science and logistics are not only | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
that, it is an act of humanity. If you'd like to become a blood | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
donor, all the information you need is on the NHS's | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
donation website, blood.co.uk. I had to transfusions at the | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
beginning of the year and I was glad because I have got a rare blood type | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
and I was so grateful. It is a big thing. We do not donate enough. | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
Excuse me, I am going to go. Give us ten minutes. So your new series, | :14:51. | :14:57. | |
what first attracted you to a series that was filming on the French | :14:58. | :14:59. | |
Riviera for seven months? LAUGHTER. Adrian was working on it. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
I owe you money, that is a good Julia, the plot kinds of revolves | :15:06. | :15:17. | |
around you. What you want to tell people about it? Without giving too | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
much away, it starts off with a bang. Or an explosion. My character | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
is the only American in the show, and it is the world of very wealthy | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
Europeans living in the south of France, focused a lot on the | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
business of the art world. My character is buying and selling art | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
for her billionaire husband. She comes back from New York to the | :15:42. | :15:47. | |
Riviera to discover that he is dead. She suspects foul play, and | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
discovers that not only there was a murder, but a lot of deceit in the | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
marriage, and even worse than affairs, he was forging a lot of the | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
paintings. Things that she didn't know. Wed as your character come | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
into it, Adrian? I'm someone who trained with Julia's character. We | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
are old friends. I am not connected to the family. My only connection to | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
what happens to the family and with the police is through Julia's | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
character. He is not necessarily on the right side of the law. He forges | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
paintings, he knows a lot of shady people, breaking and entering | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
Riviera style. He knows how to do that. He is someone to go to in an | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
hour of need. Right, and they met at an Institute, through the art world, | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
but they had kind of lost touch when she got married. She is usually mad | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
at him for discovering she is involved in some of the crimes, but | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
then leans on him to commit some crimes when she needs help. Let's | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
have a look at the moment when you discover for the first time that art | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
forgery was the case. I want to know what shady dealer and in what shady | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
country. I can't believe you would do this to me! George. Wait. I | :17:14. | :17:28. | |
didn't. I didn't do it to you. Your husband did it to you. | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
I'm hoping that's not too much of a spoiler. I've got no idea how the | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
plot unfolds. A lot of mystery. It goes on. And you directed a couple | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
of the episodes. How does that work when you are also one of the main | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
characters? It's hard, because you are doing two jobs. I directed | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
episode seven and eight, and I was heavy in episode seven. We had a lot | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
together in that episode. It is hard for the other actor working with | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
you, because you are doing is seen with them, then you shout, cut, and | :18:11. | :18:21. | |
then you give them some notes. The person watching whether you do it | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
right is right in front of you. So it is not easy. We had a whole | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
sequence in a gallery involving the police and an escape, and I had to | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
shoot all of that while I was in it. Then there is a thing with a | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
hand-held monitor, so if Adrian was in the scene also, we would shoot | :18:38. | :18:42. | |
the take, then he would yell, cut, and then he would have to watch the | :18:43. | :18:50. | |
whole thing back again. And directing himself as well. In the | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
edit, if I see a shot of my face, I'm like, who did that? That looks | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
terrible? What kind of a life did you have for the seven months you | :18:59. | :19:03. | |
were there. Where were you staying? What was the vibe of the shoot? It | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
was such a great experience being there. A great experience to live in | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
the south of France, not just in the summer but through the fall as well. | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
The food was amazing. It was such a gift. Every day you go to work in | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
these amazing locations, like luxurious villas and private yachts. | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
You'd be looking at the Mediterranean Sea, going, this is my | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
office. Sounds horrible! People would think you would live that kind | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
of life anyway, being Hollywood stars anyway. It was more special, | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
because people were speaking French. An hour to the east was Italy, so... | :19:47. | :19:52. | |
I can't wait to see it. While it is all a bit gloomy here, this is | :19:53. | :20:00. | |
perfect. All ten episodes of Riviera are available from Thursday on the | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
Skye Atlantic and Now TV. Now after last week we know you may | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
be sick and tired of voting, but on Thursday we need you to turn | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
out one more time, to help crown Seven well known faces will be live | :20:12. | :20:14. | |

decade of our lives watching it, whether from the comfort of our | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
sofas, or increasingly, on the move. Right now, you are under its spell. | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
It is, of course, television. The unique power of television and its | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
ability to bring the world to us. I remember watching Neil Armstrong | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
taking his first steps on the moon. It was amazing that we had gone to | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
another part of the universe, and that I was able to sit in my home in | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Trinidad and watch those pictures live. My invention can create | :21:25. | :21:34. | |
governments, and toppled them. It can remake whole industries, | :21:35. | :21:41. | |
conjuring a $60 billion company like cab firm Uber from nothing. And it | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
has changed how our entire species communicate. This is the mobile | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
phone, an invention so successful it outnumbers humans on planet Earth. | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
Put simply, the mobile phone is the most desired invention of our | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
lifetime, and without it, we'd be completely lost. I am, of course, | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
talking about the mobile in its latest and greatest incarnation, the | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
smartphone, a miraculous device now deeply embedded in our lives. Its | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
owners swipe and pinch them hundreds of times a day, and use them to | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
replace a number of other devices. Landmines, cameras, clocks, maps, | :22:28. | :22:33. | |
torches, the radio, money, and the computer. Mobile is now outsell PCs | :22:34. | :22:38. | |
by four to one, and drive the majority of global Internet traffic. | :22:39. | :22:49. | |
So Tommy is here with more reasons to back these first two inventions. | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
How are you? Very good. The mobile phone, that would not be in | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
existence without us Brits. Yes, when you look at the components of | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
the smartphone, very British. Alexander Graham Bell invented the | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
phone. Tim Berners-Lee was behind the World Wide Web, key to a mobile | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
phone. And then, of course, Charles Babbage, who invented the computer, | :23:19. | :23:25. | |
also in the smartphone. It took Sophie Wilson, an unsung hero, who | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
created the microchip in 98% of mobile phones, to bring all of that | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
together. So the smartphone is very British indeed. Where would we be | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
without our smartphones right now? You couldn't take pictures like this | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
without one. Let's have a look, Matt. Where is it? That is a monkey | :23:45. | :24:00. | |
in a bag. We showed this to Matt earlier. That is a real monkey in a | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
bag. That is my bag and that is a real monkey. How did you end up with | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
that? That is the one armed monkey. In London zoo, in the rainforest | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
section, that little monkey bandit climbed into my bag, and as we went | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
to leave the zoo, I've found the monkey in my changing bag! And it | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
took the zookeeper to try and entice it out with a bit of fruit. But he | :24:30. | :24:36. | |
wanted to come home! He I then got home and washed everything in the | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
changing bag, and watched Teddy's medical book. The whole thing has | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
gone. What was he searching for in your bag? Did you have bananas in | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
there? Nothing fun. Nappies, milk. Nothing for monkeys. Have we got | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
time to talk about Trevor McDonald's TV? There is a TV show in this! | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
Trevor McDonald is backing the television, as part of the Britain's | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
Greatest Invention, and who are we to argue with him? John Logie Baird | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
is the man behind the television, and the way in which he invented it | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
is so British. In his workshop, he cobbles together a load of really | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
random ingredients, and old hatbox, some darning needles, bicycle light | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
lenses, a used tea chest, sealing wax and some glue. That made the | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
first TV ever made. We are going to be introducing the rest of the | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
nominations, which you will have to vote for as well. | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
Tomorrow it's Len Goodman and David Harewood's turn. | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Now, the rise of "manspreading" around the world has got so bad that | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
You'll know it when you see it, and trust me, you see it a lot. | :25:53. | :26:01. | |
If like me, and like that chap there, you are a bit of a fan of the | :26:02. | :26:20. | |
manspread... I am mainly calling out males, but is this fair, and is it a | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
real problem? Manspreading, a practice where someone adopts a | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
seated position that encroaches on others. Have you ever witnessed | :26:31. | :26:40. | |
this? Yes, definitely, especially on the train. I think it is quite | :26:41. | :26:43. | |
invasive, actually. It makes them bigger. You have to make yourself | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
slightly smaller. It is uncomfortable. It is definitely in | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
proportion to the height. You look like you were manspreading a little | :26:54. | :27:00. | |
bit? I was just relaxing. If you don't know the person sitting next | :27:01. | :27:07. | |
to you, or you are sitting next to somebody, that is manspreading. | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
Manspreading is a typical piece of territorial behaviour, so when you | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
feel your space is being compromised, you tend to spread out | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
and make sure you have as much room as possible. So you sit in that | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
dominating, posturing way that some people find quite threatening. | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
Nobody stops you from doing it was green know. If I sat like that... I | :27:32. | :27:40. | |
would say I feel like you are invading MySpace. New York | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
encouraged men to reduce it in 2014 with their campaign, dude, stop the | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
spread. And now Madrid has banned it. How would you find the person? | :27:52. | :27:59. | |
Would you take a picture of them? So how far should you spread? I'm not | :28:00. | :28:05. | |
in your way if I sat like that, am I? What about now. That is too far. | :28:06. | :28:13. | |
It is not just our guys who are guilty. Women have their own | :28:14. | :28:20. | |
version, called she backing. I am guilty of that! | :28:21. | :28:31. | |
# Sit down. Would you say something to me? I would. I would say, tighten | :28:32. | :28:39. | |
up a bit. To be fair, when there is a suitcase involved, it is a | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
minefield... Clearly, she backing was invented to stop manspreading, | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
and the perfect solution to stop manspreading is to carry a monkey in | :28:52. | :29:02. | |
a bag! A big thank you to Julian and Adrian tonight. | :29:03. | :29:04. | |
Riviera is available from Thursday on Now TV and Sky Atlantic. | :29:05. | :29:07. | |
