:00:15. > :00:17.Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker.
:00:18. > :00:28.Tonight's guest is a man whose documentaries feature some of the
:00:29. > :00:29.world's most dangerous people and places.
:00:30. > :00:41.But now Ross Kemp has told us he had been dreaming of a dramatic career
:00:42. > :00:45.change. And you all know how much we love
:00:46. > :00:48.to make dreams come true So, for one night only,
:00:49. > :00:51.please welcome the star of... Ross Kemp Gets 12 Hours
:00:52. > :00:54.Of Undisturbed Sleep. Ross Kemp On A Hammock By The Sea
:00:55. > :01:12.With The Perfect Amount There you go! We love to make dreams
:01:13. > :01:17.come true and what a vision it was. Oh but you come!
:01:18. > :01:35.-- over you come. Nice to see you. All of those ideas came from your
:01:36. > :01:40.head. Absolutely! I bet those ideas would be way better received by your
:01:41. > :01:47.family! You get yourself into the most extremely dangerous situations.
:01:48. > :01:51.That would be a welcome rake. It is called Extreme World, not things are
:01:52. > :01:56.lovely down our way! I would love to do my favourite hill walks or
:01:57. > :02:02.restaurants. There is time when you retire. If you want to do a hill
:02:03. > :02:04.works, you could join us on Country File it is great to have you with
:02:05. > :02:06.us. Choosing the right estate agent can
:02:07. > :02:09.make all the difference when you are trying to get the best
:02:10. > :02:11.price for your home, particularly with the uncertainty
:02:12. > :02:14.in the property market right now. Online estate agents offer up
:02:15. > :02:16.a cheaper alternative to traditional high street firms -
:02:17. > :02:29.but do those savings pay When it comes to finding a new home,
:02:30. > :02:35.browsing the window of your local estate agent could soon be a thing
:02:36. > :02:39.of the past. These days 95% of all property searchers actually start on
:02:40. > :02:45.the Internet and that has led to a surge in online estate agents. With
:02:46. > :02:50.most of them you might have to show potential buyers around yourself but
:02:51. > :02:54.there is no doubt their fees are cheap. But traditional agents still
:02:55. > :03:00.reckon their local knowledge and experience makes them the best deal.
:03:01. > :03:06.A battle is raging between online and high Street agents but who is
:03:07. > :03:12.going to land the knockout blow? In the blue corner, Kerry is an
:03:13. > :03:18.award-winning -- present an award-winning high Street agency in
:03:19. > :03:27.Bath and in the red corner, Gemma Young is now co-owner of Settled,
:03:28. > :03:33.one of the UK's cheapest online estate agencies. Round one. What I
:03:34. > :03:39.think gives the high Street Independent the edge is in-depth
:03:40. > :03:44.local knowledge. I think the common misconception is that lower price
:03:45. > :03:49.means a lower level of service. People by people, it is a
:03:50. > :03:53.recognisable face. The misconception is that if you pay less and do this
:03:54. > :04:00.online, you get less but it is not the case. You both gave as good as
:04:01. > :04:07.you got. Round two is going to be a lot tougher. Our contest will be
:04:08. > :04:12.fought over a three-bedroom flat in the centre of Bath who Deborah has
:04:13. > :04:16.decided to advertise through Gemma's agency. Initially it was to save
:04:17. > :04:20.money because it is cheaper but I was also curious to see if we could
:04:21. > :04:24.do it. We have rigged the flat with secret cameras and three lots of
:04:25. > :04:32.potential buyers are coming over to look. Deb will show them around
:04:33. > :04:38.first and then the traditional estate agent and we want to see who
:04:39. > :04:41.does the best job. To kick things off, Deb shows husband and wife
:04:42. > :04:43.Sally and keep their bedroom with less than favourable reviews --
:04:44. > :04:59.teeth. That's it, sell the perks. Do the
:05:00. > :05:06.shutters all work? Yes, they are very good at keeping the heat in in
:05:07. > :05:13.the winter. Connect it is the pro-'s turn as he shows the buyers around.
:05:14. > :05:18.Original fireplace and Alcoa cupboard, gas hob, hood over
:05:19. > :05:23.electric oven, single glazed Georgian sash windows immigrate to
:05:24. > :05:28.listed. He is on fire! Another fact, number 19 from the back garden of
:05:29. > :05:35.which they discovered the planet Uranus from in 1781! The devil is
:05:36. > :05:44.clearly in the detail but not for Deb. The floorboards? I don't know,
:05:45. > :05:51.I've never looked. What about noise? Is there much trouble with people in
:05:52. > :05:55.the evening? It is not one of the noisier parts of town, I would walk
:05:56. > :06:03.along the upper Bristol Road if I was coming home from the pub. No
:06:04. > :06:10.noise. I guess at one o'clock in the morning you might get something
:06:11. > :06:17.going. It is very intermittent. Viewings are done. You don't do this
:06:18. > :06:21.every day or for a living? It was quite good that I could answer quite
:06:22. > :06:28.a few of the questions that I think an estate agent might not be able
:06:29. > :06:33.to. How did you get on? Very well. Which by responded best? If I had to
:06:34. > :06:37.put money on it, the last couple because they asked the most
:06:38. > :06:46.searching questions. So who would they choose? It is a win for Deb and
:06:47. > :06:49.the online agents! The lady owner impressed us with the personal
:06:50. > :06:54.knowledge, what it was like to live in this building on this road. I
:06:55. > :06:58.thought I got on better with carry and it seemed easier to ask
:06:59. > :07:01.questions than with the owner. Although Deb will have to do all the
:07:02. > :07:07.work by selling with an online agent, but she could save around
:07:08. > :07:13.?8,000. Judging by today, a lot more people will be going it alone.
:07:14. > :07:18.We tried an online estate agent a few years ago and it didn't work for
:07:19. > :07:22.us because you have to invest the time, you have to be there to show
:07:23. > :07:27.people around but no doubt it is cheaper if you can commit. ?8,000,
:07:28. > :07:34.yes. You have dabbled a bit in property. Do you prefer that
:07:35. > :07:41.personal touch? I am all for the personal touch, I have to say. Can
:07:42. > :07:48.you imagine Ross kept, this is the bathroom... -- Ross Kemp. It
:07:49. > :07:52.wouldn't work! I think it is important that you build a good
:07:53. > :07:58.relationship with the estate agent and they will go the extra mile if
:07:59. > :08:03.you do. That's true. We joked about your dream jobs but this year has
:08:04. > :08:07.been so full on for you. You have been in Mozambique and Mongolia and
:08:08. > :08:12.Colombia but you are most proud of the recent documentary which is the
:08:13. > :08:19.Kurdish fight on Isis. It is the best thing we have made and we have
:08:20. > :08:24.made a lot of films, 78 documentary in ten or 12 years. I think the
:08:25. > :08:33.access we got, that is king. We were there at the right time in the terms
:08:34. > :08:37.of the war turning against Isis. I think the Kurds, particularly in
:08:38. > :08:40.Syria, and in Iraq, have pushed Isis back on the ground and they are
:08:41. > :08:45.actually our biggest allies and most people don't even know who they are.
:08:46. > :08:49.How did you get the access? It is not like a news report where you are
:08:50. > :08:52.talking about what is going on behind you, you are in there and
:08:53. > :08:58.when you are watching you understand what is going on. How did you get
:08:59. > :09:01.that close? We had a really good fixer and we won the trust of the
:09:02. > :09:05.soldiers on the front line and hopefully that is what we did in
:09:06. > :09:09.Afghanistan over those five years. They will not take you to the front
:09:10. > :09:13.line unless they know you could be trusted to do what they want you to
:09:14. > :09:18.when they tell you otherwise people get hurt. We were the only
:09:19. > :09:22.Westerners to get over the western banks of the Euphrates. I don't
:09:23. > :09:27.think anybody has done that since. Sadly, the commander that was with
:09:28. > :09:33.us has subsequently been killed, so it shows how close it was. You took
:09:34. > :09:37.the cameras and let's have a look at you approach the front line. The
:09:38. > :09:43.commander decides to lead us back to hard cover.
:09:44. > :09:54.We are right in the line of fire. The sniper spots us on the move.
:09:55. > :10:02.GUNFIRE Down, down, down. Unable to dislodge
:10:03. > :10:09.the sniper, our route back to safety will lead us dangerously exposed.
:10:10. > :10:13.You are literally running and bullets are firing. How do you know
:10:14. > :10:17.who you can trust? What is going through your mind when you are
:10:18. > :10:21.filming that? You said it was the same team, the cameraman is behind
:10:22. > :10:28.you, you don't know what is going on and he's very much in the moment.
:10:29. > :10:35.You never get used to get shot at but we were quite a lot in
:10:36. > :10:39.Afghanistan. What happened before that, sniper had seen us, we had
:10:40. > :10:45.heard them over the radio talking that they could see Westerners. They
:10:46. > :10:49.particularly targeted the cameraman and myself and because he was firing
:10:50. > :10:54.from below, the rounds were going up and hitting the wall behind me.
:10:55. > :11:00.Because they are supersonic, with a bullet you normally hear the wiz but
:11:01. > :11:05.these it is just... The slap of it breaking the sound barrier and then
:11:06. > :11:08.hitting the wall. In those moments, you are surprised, I don't think you
:11:09. > :11:14.are scared, you are so in the moment, you are thinking, how safe
:11:15. > :11:19.am I, am I low enough and how do I get out in one piece? You are also
:11:20. > :11:28.buried at one with the people you talk to. In the Iraqi police they
:11:29. > :11:32.are primed to find Isis soldiers -- very at once. You then have the
:11:33. > :11:36.opportunity to question one of the guys that has been caught, and Isis
:11:37. > :11:42.soldier and that was quite a different experience to what you
:11:43. > :11:46.thought. I think that Isis have been brilliant at propaganda and the
:11:47. > :11:53.image they have presented themselves to us is not exactly the whole story
:11:54. > :11:57.and why would it be? This man was short and round, a bit like me, not
:11:58. > :12:04.six foot four and a ninja style chap. He had been a farm labourer,
:12:05. > :12:09.he could not get work: he joined Al-Qaeda because he got paid some
:12:10. > :12:12.money and then Isis. He originally believed he wanted the Americans out
:12:13. > :12:20.of his country but after awhile it became a way earning money. And his
:12:21. > :12:25.ideology quickly changed when he was in captivity. I didn't realised they
:12:26. > :12:31.had paid. Who did? It is a real eye-opener, lots of things like that
:12:32. > :12:36.you had no idea about. Ross Kemp: The Fight Against Isis is on Sky 1
:12:37. > :12:39.on Thursday night. It is well worth watching.
:12:40. > :12:42.The average Brit spends more than a year of their life travelling
:12:43. > :12:45.to and from work and most of us will agree that's more than enough.
:12:46. > :12:48.If your train is late more often than it's on time,
:12:49. > :12:53.things might be about to get even worse.
:12:54. > :12:56.One rail company has a plan to reduce the number of delays.
:12:57. > :13:08.Britain's biggest rail franchise is removing hundreds of services from
:13:09. > :13:11.today... It is 6am and I'm travelling to Horsham railway
:13:12. > :13:17.station in Sussex with regular London commuter Alex. The train to
:13:18. > :13:25.Clapham Junction has been delayed for the past few months. It is a
:13:26. > :13:30.peak-time train, it carries over 1500 people and as you can see,
:13:31. > :13:35.there are eight coaches when it should be 12. As expected, the short
:13:36. > :13:40.train is full. And it can only get worse over the next hour with more
:13:41. > :13:47.stops. Apologies for the short formation this morning, no idea why
:13:48. > :13:53.we have this, it is as much a surprise to us as it is to you.
:13:54. > :14:01.That is typical. What a nice guy, doing his best but he has not been
:14:02. > :14:04.told what is going on and he has no idea. In the evening it is a
:14:05. > :14:09.national or two if you get a train home or not. The service has been so
:14:10. > :14:12.poor and it is a combination of trained not running, trains stopping
:14:13. > :14:18.or skipping stations and going to places they weren't supposed to.
:14:19. > :14:22.What about seeing your kids and stuff? Sometimes they are in bed and
:14:23. > :14:27.sometimes I have left when they are in bed so I don't see them. It is
:14:28. > :14:32.endless. It is also a long time to stand up for. Everybody is being
:14:33. > :14:37.very tolerant but nobody is enjoying it. Nobody is having fun. Eight
:14:38. > :14:44.hours later, disgruntled passengers gather at Victoria Station to make
:14:45. > :14:48.their feelings known. This is what happens when commuters get very
:14:49. > :14:52.angry, they are protesting. Quite a lot of people joining in. Tonight
:14:53. > :15:00.they delayed their own to need to be part of this. Is this true? I
:15:01. > :15:05.resigned on Friday. Because of the service? Every day I have had
:15:06. > :15:10.delays, I have not been getting home for my son, he has been staying with
:15:11. > :15:13.his Nan, I have been trying on the train because I had to say good
:15:14. > :15:18.night to him on the train and I decided after a few weeks that I
:15:19. > :15:24.couldn't do it any more. Are you a Southerner commuter? I am. How do
:15:25. > :15:30.you find the service? Absolutely diabolical. I still have my quite
:15:31. > :15:33.expensive ticket from this morning and with a heavy heart I am going to
:15:34. > :15:36.do with the return journey because everybody said it is their worst bit
:15:37. > :15:49.and I have to get the full experience.
:15:50. > :15:55.This morning at Redhill they are looking for the driver of the train,
:15:56. > :15:59.they could not find him. What is it like to be consistently
:16:00. > :16:05.late due to your travel arrangements? It is horrible. The
:16:06. > :16:09.commute varies from being pretty bad to absolutely horrendous. I honestly
:16:10. > :16:14.cannot remember the last time I left the office and got home on the train
:16:15. > :16:21.I was expecting to get. There was a day when the train was packed and we
:16:22. > :16:24.had to sit in first class. I tweeted southern and said your train is to
:16:25. > :16:29.thought we are in first class. They said that is up to the discretion of
:16:30. > :16:35.the conductor. Then someone got on and find us all. Do you think
:16:36. > :16:49.southern is failing? Sub has failed. They are the worst company in the UK
:16:50. > :17:00.-- sunburn has failed. That is your next documentary! Is this the worst
:17:01. > :17:06.railway we are talking about? The national picture is not pretty.
:17:07. > :17:11.There are 11% of trains running late every day. However, that is GTR
:17:12. > :17:19.which is Govia Thameslink Railways which runs Southern, Great Northern
:17:20. > :17:23.and the Gatwick Express have seen a third of their trains coming late so
:17:24. > :17:32.they are consistently pushing up the national average. Southern in
:17:33. > :17:36.isolation or owned by GTR. Only 37.6% of their trains were on time
:17:37. > :17:42.to their final that is the situation. We saw you quite rightly
:17:43. > :17:50.with a heavy heart buying the ticket but what impact has losing those
:17:51. > :17:58.trains had on the service? 341 services were cancelled. That is
:17:59. > :18:03.15%. Southern Railway make the point that it is a temporary timetable and
:18:04. > :18:08.it has 85% of the normal number of trends. As I say, it is a
:18:09. > :18:15.complicated huge system they are running and Southern say they have
:18:16. > :18:17.had a problem with ongoing industrial disputes since they
:18:18. > :18:23.proposed changes bringing in driver only operated trains. A Southern
:18:24. > :18:36.spokesman said we know the service level has not been good enough and
:18:37. > :18:40.we apologise unreservedly. We have a temporary measure while we work out
:18:41. > :18:44.with the RMT union to end the dispute and bring their members back
:18:45. > :18:48.to work. They see it as something which will
:18:49. > :18:54.have a positive affect in the long-term. We will see. You are
:18:55. > :18:58.driving home instead of getting the train? I think it is there to say
:18:59. > :19:05.that Trainspotting Live will not be each ring Southern trains!
:19:06. > :19:12.Something which is worrying for dog owners, a dangerous tick has been
:19:13. > :19:18.discovered. But you can detect your pets as long as you know what to
:19:19. > :19:24.look out for -- you can protect your pets.
:19:25. > :19:30.There is a killer roaming in Harlow, Essex, which has claimed one victims
:19:31. > :19:36.and others are close to death. The victims are man's best friend. It is
:19:37. > :19:41.a parasite carried by a rare species of tick which can be fatal in dogs.
:19:42. > :19:44.Normally found in warmer climates, for the first time in the UK,
:19:45. > :19:52.experts have discovered an outbreak of this disease. This cocker spaniel
:19:53. > :19:58.Ollie recently fell victim while this woman's son was dog sitting. My
:19:59. > :20:04.son said I took him for a walk but his legs are wobbly. He is not
:20:05. > :20:09.eating or drinking, I am worried about him. Ollie was taken to his
:20:10. > :20:15.vet and already having treated a number of dogs for this disease, the
:20:16. > :20:19.vet realised Ollie could have this life threatening condition. The
:20:20. > :20:26.diseases like malaria. The tick transmits a blood Harris site. If
:20:27. > :20:33.you can kill the tick quickly on the dog you can reduce the likelihood of
:20:34. > :20:38.catching the disease. If symptoms are not spotted early enough, it can
:20:39. > :20:43.be fatal to dogs but how has it got here? Until four years ago, it was a
:20:44. > :20:46.legal requirement for all dogs entering the country to receive
:20:47. > :20:54.anti-tick treatment said Clive thinks it is possible that a dog has
:20:55. > :20:57.brought in this unwelcome visitor. If a dog enters the country with a
:20:58. > :21:01.tick on it carrying the disease, it has been deposited in Harlow and
:21:02. > :21:07.lays a few thousand eggs. Anyone else walking through the area, the
:21:08. > :21:12.dog is picking up the tick and contracting the disease. Harlow
:21:13. > :21:16.Council have fenced off the offended area but local owners are still
:21:17. > :21:21.worried. It is definitely something I am worried about. You don't know.
:21:22. > :21:26.The only thing we can do is keep checking our dogs. It is a great
:21:27. > :21:31.concern and everyone Harlow is worried about it. At present, it is
:21:32. > :21:43.believed only dogs in Harlow have been affected. Professor Wall is
:21:44. > :21:48.carrying out the Big Tick Project. It looks like a spider. It will get
:21:49. > :21:55.ten times bigger than that. How likely is it that this disease and
:21:56. > :21:59.tick will spread? It is certainly an issue for major concern. We do not
:22:00. > :22:04.know what will happen next. If the environmental conditions are
:22:05. > :22:09.correct, if there are plenty of hosts, they could spread very
:22:10. > :22:12.rapidly. There are plenty of ways to protect our dogs. Administration
:22:13. > :22:19.anti-tick treatment and routinely checking your dog over and removing
:22:20. > :22:23.any ticks found. When they first attach, they are incredibly small
:22:24. > :22:29.and you need to get between the tick and the skin to lift it off so ever
:22:30. > :22:34.very fine pair of tweezers. This just slides under the tick against
:22:35. > :22:41.the skin and they can just be lifted off. But if you grasp the tick and
:22:42. > :22:45.apply something, you upset it and it is more likely to regurgitate and
:22:46. > :22:53.transmit a parasite back into the dog. Although inspecting your dog is
:22:54. > :22:56.a good idea, it could take you a very long time? The best thing is to
:22:57. > :23:02.treat your dog for ticks? Yes, with a product which will kill them for
:23:03. > :23:13.24 hours. After his ordeal, how is Ollie doing now? Ollie! He looks the
:23:14. > :23:17.picture of health. He does now. Fortunately, in Ollie's case, the
:23:18. > :23:22.disease was diagnosed and treated very quickly. But if your dog starts
:23:23. > :23:25.to show signs including weakness, pale coloured guns and coffee
:23:26. > :23:32.coloured you're in, you should get them to the vet straightaway.
:23:33. > :23:37.We did check today and there have been no more cases reported in
:23:38. > :23:42.Harlow or anywhere else. Which is good news. We have to have a little
:23:43. > :23:47.chat about EastEnders. We saw you back as Grant for Peggy's funeral
:23:48. > :23:58.which was sad, but we hear a rumour you might be back more. When then?
:23:59. > :24:03.Grant is back. In the surreal year I have had from Mozambique, Colombia,
:24:04. > :24:08.Iraq, Syria, Mongolia... Albert Square! Why not? If you can do them
:24:09. > :24:15.both, why not? Three weeks in EastEnders. The episodes I am in our
:24:16. > :24:18.split over the end of August and September and it is a very strong
:24:19. > :24:22.Mitchell storyline. It is about the Mitchell 's back together. We look
:24:23. > :24:29.forward to it. Ross's recent EastEnders Reprise saw
:24:30. > :24:36.Grant go head-to-head with Mick Carter. Here is Si King with this
:24:37. > :24:45.story we think he would be very keen on, Get Carter.
:24:46. > :24:51.My name is Si King and I am best known as one half of the Hairy cat
:24:52. > :24:59.macro bikers. In a former life I was a locations manager on the Harry pot
:25:00. > :25:02.of films so I like to think I know a bit about the movies. -- Harry
:25:03. > :25:08.Potter films. There was one film in particular which really put the
:25:09. > :25:15.north-east on the map, Get Carter with Michael Caine.
:25:16. > :25:19.He stars as hard man Jack Carter. He returns to Newcastle to investigate
:25:20. > :25:24.his brother's mysterious death and gets mixed up in the murky
:25:25. > :25:29.underworld of the city. It captured the gritty reality of life in the
:25:30. > :25:32.north. The director Mike Hodges drew one his experience while National
:25:33. > :25:39.Service when deciding where to shoot the film. I had to go all the way up
:25:40. > :25:43.the East Coast to Hull, Grimsby, Lowestoft and all the way up to
:25:44. > :25:47.North Shields. I saw poverty, the likes of which I could not believe.
:25:48. > :25:51.When I came to make the film, I remembered all these places and you
:25:52. > :25:55.looked at the city and you knew this was the place Jack Carter could
:25:56. > :26:02.possibly come from. It justified in part, only in part, Jack's
:26:03. > :26:07.character. How were you received by people in Newcastle? They welcomed
:26:08. > :26:11.it. There was a great deal of interest and the joint the whole
:26:12. > :26:18.process. Except on one occasion and the honey wagon, which was the
:26:19. > :26:22.portable you rhino was being moved and detached itself and it rolled
:26:23. > :26:32.down the hill with disastrous results for people at the bottom of
:26:33. > :26:40.the hill -- the portable you rhino! -- urinal. There were strong but
:26:41. > :26:43.deprived communities. Most of the city which featured in the Get
:26:44. > :26:52.Carter film has now been swept away and the banks of the Tyne has been
:26:53. > :27:02.transformed. It is a shiny new city. But a grittier side can still be
:27:03. > :27:10.found if you know where to look. 25 Cockburn St was where character Jack
:27:11. > :27:19.Carter stayed throughout the film. This the Victoria Comet pub found
:27:20. > :27:26.fame in the film. June Pearce was one of thousands of Geordies who
:27:27. > :27:30.auditioned. It was a dare with a friend of mine! They were asking for
:27:31. > :27:37.extras for the film and we had to take a photograph. I have to show
:27:38. > :27:44.everybody this, she was beautiful, she still is. We do well at North,
:27:45. > :27:49.don't we? I did not get home until two o'clock in the morning and there
:27:50. > :27:54.was a note left for me saying I had to be in Coburg Street in Gateshead
:27:55. > :28:03.at eight o'clock the next morning. I could not sleep! I went there and
:28:04. > :28:08.they said they decided I looked like Geraldine Moffat. June had to stand
:28:09. > :28:13.in for Geraldine while she was in Hare and make up. If Michael Caine
:28:14. > :28:20.was acting, they needed me to be where she was for the lighting so
:28:21. > :28:25.her up did not melt. There was a bedroom scene. I cannot believe it,
:28:26. > :28:33.our June in bed with Michael Caine! And the cameraman standing. He asked
:28:34. > :28:44.what the name was of the local paper. He said, you realise this
:28:45. > :28:52.will be in the Chronicle tonight! I will catch up with you, Margaret!
:28:53. > :28:58.The film in 1970 captured a Tyneside transition. It makes me feel quite
:28:59. > :29:06.nostalgic now. That world may have gone, but Get Carter is a unique
:29:07. > :29:12.time capsule that captured the spirit and character of an edgier
:29:13. > :29:17.age. Si King making me Hamsik! That is
:29:18. > :29:26.all for tonight. Ross Kemp: the Piedt against Isis is on Sky One on
:29:27. > :29:28.Thursday at nine o'clock -- The Fight Against Isis. Tomorrow we will
