12/07/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Matt Baker.

Tonight's guest is a man whose documentaries feature some of the

world's most dangerous people and places.

But now Ross Kemp has told us he had been dreaming of a dramatic career

change. And you all know how much we love

to make dreams come true So, for one night only,

please welcome the star of... Ross Kemp Gets 12 Hours

Of Undisturbed Sleep. Ross Kemp On A Hammock By The Sea

With The Perfect Amount There you go! We love to make dreams

come true and what a vision it was. Oh but you come!

-- over you come. Nice to see you. All of those ideas came from your

head. Absolutely! I bet those ideas would be way better received by your

family! You get yourself into the most extremely dangerous situations.

That would be a welcome rake. It is called Extreme World, not things are

lovely down our way! I would love to do my favourite hill walks or

restaurants. There is time when you retire. If you want to do a hill

works, you could join us on Country File it is great to have you with

us. Choosing the right estate agent can

make all the difference when you are trying to get the best

price for your home, particularly with the uncertainty

in the property market right now. Online estate agents offer up

a cheaper alternative to traditional high street firms -

but do those savings pay When it comes to finding a new home,

browsing the window of your local estate agent could soon be a thing

of the past. These days 95% of all property searchers actually start on

the Internet and that has led to a surge in online estate agents. With

most of them you might have to show potential buyers around yourself but

there is no doubt their fees are cheap. But traditional agents still

reckon their local knowledge and experience makes them the best deal.

A battle is raging between online and high Street agents but who is

going to land the knockout blow? In the blue corner, Kerry is an

award-winning -- present an award-winning high Street agency in

Bath and in the red corner, Gemma Young is now co-owner of Settled,

one of the UK's cheapest online estate agencies. Round one. What I

think gives the high Street Independent the edge is in-depth

local knowledge. I think the common misconception is that lower price

means a lower level of service. People by people, it is a

recognisable face. The misconception is that if you pay less and do this

online, you get less but it is not the case. You both gave as good as

you got. Round two is going to be a lot tougher. Our contest will be

fought over a three-bedroom flat in the centre of Bath who Deborah has

decided to advertise through Gemma's agency. Initially it was to save

money because it is cheaper but I was also curious to see if we could

do it. We have rigged the flat with secret cameras and three lots of

potential buyers are coming over to look. Deb will show them around

first and then the traditional estate agent and we want to see who

does the best job. To kick things off, Deb shows husband and wife

Sally and keep their bedroom with less than favourable reviews --

teeth. That's it, sell the perks. Do the

shutters all work? Yes, they are very good at keeping the heat in in

the winter. Connect it is the pro-'s turn as he shows the buyers around.

Original fireplace and Alcoa cupboard, gas hob, hood over

electric oven, single glazed Georgian sash windows immigrate to

listed. He is on fire! Another fact, number 19 from the back garden of

which they discovered the planet Uranus from in 1781! The devil is

clearly in the detail but not for Deb. The floorboards? I don't know,

I've never looked. What about noise? Is there much trouble with people in

the evening? It is not one of the noisier parts of town, I would walk

along the upper Bristol Road if I was coming home from the pub. No

noise. I guess at one o'clock in the morning you might get something

going. It is very intermittent. Viewings are done. You don't do this

every day or for a living? It was quite good that I could answer quite

a few of the questions that I think an estate agent might not be able

to. How did you get on? Very well. Which by responded best? If I had to

put money on it, the last couple because they asked the most

searching questions. So who would they choose? It is a win for Deb and

the online agents! The lady owner impressed us with the personal

knowledge, what it was like to live in this building on this road. I

thought I got on better with carry and it seemed easier to ask

questions than with the owner. Although Deb will have to do all the

work by selling with an online agent, but she could save around

?8,000. Judging by today, a lot more people will be going it alone.

We tried an online estate agent a few years ago and it didn't work for

us because you have to invest the time, you have to be there to show

people around but no doubt it is cheaper if you can commit. ?8,000,

yes. You have dabbled a bit in property. Do you prefer that

personal touch? I am all for the personal touch, I have to say. Can

you imagine Ross kept, this is the bathroom... -- Ross Kemp. It

wouldn't work! I think it is important that you build a good

relationship with the estate agent and they will go the extra mile if

you do. That's true. We joked about your dream jobs but this year has

been so full on for you. You have been in Mozambique and Mongolia and

Colombia but you are most proud of the recent documentary which is the

Kurdish fight on Isis. It is the best thing we have made and we have

made a lot of films, 78 documentary in ten or 12 years. I think the

access we got, that is king. We were there at the right time in the terms

of the war turning against Isis. I think the Kurds, particularly in

Syria, and in Iraq, have pushed Isis back on the ground and they are

actually our biggest allies and most people don't even know who they are.

How did you get the access? It is not like a news report where you are

talking about what is going on behind you, you are in there and

when you are watching you understand what is going on. How did you get

that close? We had a really good fixer and we won the trust of the

soldiers on the front line and hopefully that is what we did in

Afghanistan over those five years. They will not take you to the front

line unless they know you could be trusted to do what they want you to

when they tell you otherwise people get hurt. We were the only

Westerners to get over the western banks of the Euphrates. I don't

think anybody has done that since. Sadly, the commander that was with

us has subsequently been killed, so it shows how close it was. You took

the cameras and let's have a look at you approach the front line. The

commander decides to lead us back to hard cover.

We are right in the line of fire. The sniper spots us on the move.

GUNFIRE Down, down, down. Unable to dislodge

the sniper, our route back to safety will lead us dangerously exposed.

You are literally running and bullets are firing. How do you know

who you can trust? What is going through your mind when you are

filming that? You said it was the same team, the cameraman is behind

you, you don't know what is going on and he's very much in the moment.

You never get used to get shot at but we were quite a lot in

Afghanistan. What happened before that, sniper had seen us, we had

heard them over the radio talking that they could see Westerners. They

particularly targeted the cameraman and myself and because he was firing

from below, the rounds were going up and hitting the wall behind me.

Because they are supersonic, with a bullet you normally hear the wiz but

these it is just... The slap of it breaking the sound barrier and then

hitting the wall. In those moments, you are surprised, I don't think you

are scared, you are so in the moment, you are thinking, how safe

am I, am I low enough and how do I get out in one piece? You are also

buried at one with the people you talk to. In the Iraqi police they

are primed to find Isis soldiers -- very at once. You then have the

opportunity to question one of the guys that has been caught, and Isis

soldier and that was quite a different experience to what you

thought. I think that Isis have been brilliant at propaganda and the

image they have presented themselves to us is not exactly the whole story

and why would it be? This man was short and round, a bit like me, not

six foot four and a ninja style chap. He had been a farm labourer,

he could not get work: he joined Al-Qaeda because he got paid some

money and then Isis. He originally believed he wanted the Americans out

of his country but after awhile it became a way earning money. And his

ideology quickly changed when he was in captivity. I didn't realised they

had paid. Who did? It is a real eye-opener, lots of things like that

you had no idea about. Ross Kemp: The Fight Against Isis is on Sky 1

on Thursday night. It is well worth watching.

The average Brit spends more than a year of their life travelling

to and from work and most of us will agree that's more than enough.

If your train is late more often than it's on time,

things might be about to get even worse.

One rail company has a plan to reduce the number of delays.

Britain's biggest rail franchise is removing hundreds of services from

today... It is 6am and I'm travelling to Horsham railway

station in Sussex with regular London commuter Alex. The train to

Clapham Junction has been delayed for the past few months. It is a

peak-time train, it carries over 1500 people and as you can see,

there are eight coaches when it should be 12. As expected, the short

train is full. And it can only get worse over the next hour with more

stops. Apologies for the short formation this morning, no idea why

we have this, it is as much a surprise to us as it is to you.

That is typical. What a nice guy, doing his best but he has not been

told what is going on and he has no idea. In the evening it is a

national or two if you get a train home or not. The service has been so

poor and it is a combination of trained not running, trains stopping

or skipping stations and going to places they weren't supposed to.

What about seeing your kids and stuff? Sometimes they are in bed and

sometimes I have left when they are in bed so I don't see them. It is

endless. It is also a long time to stand up for. Everybody is being

very tolerant but nobody is enjoying it. Nobody is having fun. Eight

hours later, disgruntled passengers gather at Victoria Station to make

their feelings known. This is what happens when commuters get very

angry, they are protesting. Quite a lot of people joining in. Tonight

they delayed their own to need to be part of this. Is this true? I

resigned on Friday. Because of the service? Every day I have had

delays, I have not been getting home for my son, he has been staying with

his Nan, I have been trying on the train because I had to say good

night to him on the train and I decided after a few weeks that I

couldn't do it any more. Are you a Southerner commuter? I am. How do

you find the service? Absolutely diabolical. I still have my quite

expensive ticket from this morning and with a heavy heart I am going to

do with the return journey because everybody said it is their worst bit

and I have to get the full experience.

This morning at Redhill they are looking for the driver of the train,

they could not find him. What is it like to be consistently

late due to your travel arrangements? It is horrible. The

commute varies from being pretty bad to absolutely horrendous. I honestly

cannot remember the last time I left the office and got home on the train

I was expecting to get. There was a day when the train was packed and we

had to sit in first class. I tweeted southern and said your train is to

thought we are in first class. They said that is up to the discretion of

the conductor. Then someone got on and find us all. Do you think

southern is failing? Sub has failed. They are the worst company in the UK

-- sunburn has failed. That is your next documentary! Is this the worst

railway we are talking about? The national picture is not pretty.

There are 11% of trains running late every day. However, that is GTR

which is Govia Thameslink Railways which runs Southern, Great Northern

and the Gatwick Express have seen a third of their trains coming late so

they are consistently pushing up the national average. Southern in

isolation or owned by GTR. Only 37.6% of their trains were on time

to their final that is the situation. We saw you quite rightly

with a heavy heart buying the ticket but what impact has losing those

trains had on the service? 341 services were cancelled. That is

15%. Southern Railway make the point that it is a temporary timetable and

it has 85% of the normal number of trends. As I say, it is a

complicated huge system they are running and Southern say they have

had a problem with ongoing industrial disputes since they

proposed changes bringing in driver only operated trains. A Southern

spokesman said we know the service level has not been good enough and

we apologise unreservedly. We have a temporary measure while we work out

with the RMT union to end the dispute and bring their members back

to work. They see it as something which will

have a positive affect in the long-term. We will see. You are

driving home instead of getting the train? I think it is there to say

that Trainspotting Live will not be each ring Southern trains!

Something which is worrying for dog owners, a dangerous tick has been

discovered. But you can detect your pets as long as you know what to

look out for -- you can protect your pets.

There is a killer roaming in Harlow, Essex, which has claimed one victims

and others are close to death. The victims are man's best friend. It is

a parasite carried by a rare species of tick which can be fatal in dogs.

Normally found in warmer climates, for the first time in the UK,

experts have discovered an outbreak of this disease. This cocker spaniel

Ollie recently fell victim while this woman's son was dog sitting. My

son said I took him for a walk but his legs are wobbly. He is not

eating or drinking, I am worried about him. Ollie was taken to his

vet and already having treated a number of dogs for this disease, the

vet realised Ollie could have this life threatening condition. The

diseases like malaria. The tick transmits a blood Harris site. If

you can kill the tick quickly on the dog you can reduce the likelihood of

catching the disease. If symptoms are not spotted early enough, it can

be fatal to dogs but how has it got here? Until four years ago, it was a

legal requirement for all dogs entering the country to receive

anti-tick treatment said Clive thinks it is possible that a dog has

brought in this unwelcome visitor. If a dog enters the country with a

tick on it carrying the disease, it has been deposited in Harlow and

lays a few thousand eggs. Anyone else walking through the area, the

dog is picking up the tick and contracting the disease. Harlow

Council have fenced off the offended area but local owners are still

worried. It is definitely something I am worried about. You don't know.

The only thing we can do is keep checking our dogs. It is a great

concern and everyone Harlow is worried about it. At present, it is

believed only dogs in Harlow have been affected. Professor Wall is

carrying out the Big Tick Project. It looks like a spider. It will get

ten times bigger than that. How likely is it that this disease and

tick will spread? It is certainly an issue for major concern. We do not

know what will happen next. If the environmental conditions are

correct, if there are plenty of hosts, they could spread very

rapidly. There are plenty of ways to protect our dogs. Administration

anti-tick treatment and routinely checking your dog over and removing

any ticks found. When they first attach, they are incredibly small

and you need to get between the tick and the skin to lift it off so ever

very fine pair of tweezers. This just slides under the tick against

the skin and they can just be lifted off. But if you grasp the tick and

apply something, you upset it and it is more likely to regurgitate and

transmit a parasite back into the dog. Although inspecting your dog is

a good idea, it could take you a very long time? The best thing is to

treat your dog for ticks? Yes, with a product which will kill them for

24 hours. After his ordeal, how is Ollie doing now? Ollie! He looks the

picture of health. He does now. Fortunately, in Ollie's case, the

disease was diagnosed and treated very quickly. But if your dog starts

to show signs including weakness, pale coloured guns and coffee

coloured you're in, you should get them to the vet straightaway.

We did check today and there have been no more cases reported in

Harlow or anywhere else. Which is good news. We have to have a little

chat about EastEnders. We saw you back as Grant for Peggy's funeral

which was sad, but we hear a rumour you might be back more. When then?

Grant is back. In the surreal year I have had from Mozambique, Colombia,

Iraq, Syria, Mongolia... Albert Square! Why not? If you can do them

both, why not? Three weeks in EastEnders. The episodes I am in our

split over the end of August and September and it is a very strong

Mitchell storyline. It is about the Mitchell 's back together. We look

forward to it. Ross's recent EastEnders Reprise saw

Grant go head-to-head with Mick Carter. Here is Si King with this

story we think he would be very keen on, Get Carter.

My name is Si King and I am best known as one half of the Hairy cat

macro bikers. In a former life I was a locations manager on the Harry pot

of films so I like to think I know a bit about the movies. -- Harry

Potter films. There was one film in particular which really put the

north-east on the map, Get Carter with Michael Caine.

He stars as hard man Jack Carter. He returns to Newcastle to investigate

his brother's mysterious death and gets mixed up in the murky

underworld of the city. It captured the gritty reality of life in the

north. The director Mike Hodges drew one his experience while National

Service when deciding where to shoot the film. I had to go all the way up

the East Coast to Hull, Grimsby, Lowestoft and all the way up to

North Shields. I saw poverty, the likes of which I could not believe.

When I came to make the film, I remembered all these places and you

looked at the city and you knew this was the place Jack Carter could

possibly come from. It justified in part, only in part, Jack's

character. How were you received by people in Newcastle? They welcomed

it. There was a great deal of interest and the joint the whole

process. Except on one occasion and the honey wagon, which was the

portable you rhino was being moved and detached itself and it rolled

down the hill with disastrous results for people at the bottom of

the hill -- the portable you rhino! -- urinal. There were strong but

deprived communities. Most of the city which featured in the Get

Carter film has now been swept away and the banks of the Tyne has been

transformed. It is a shiny new city. But a grittier side can still be

found if you know where to look. 25 Cockburn St was where character Jack

Carter stayed throughout the film. This the Victoria Comet pub found

fame in the film. June Pearce was one of thousands of Geordies who

auditioned. It was a dare with a friend of mine! They were asking for

extras for the film and we had to take a photograph. I have to show

everybody this, she was beautiful, she still is. We do well at North,

don't we? I did not get home until two o'clock in the morning and there

was a note left for me saying I had to be in Coburg Street in Gateshead

at eight o'clock the next morning. I could not sleep! I went there and

they said they decided I looked like Geraldine Moffat. June had to stand

in for Geraldine while she was in Hare and make up. If Michael Caine

was acting, they needed me to be where she was for the lighting so

her up did not melt. There was a bedroom scene. I cannot believe it,

our June in bed with Michael Caine! And the cameraman standing. He asked

what the name was of the local paper. He said, you realise this

will be in the Chronicle tonight! I will catch up with you, Margaret!

The film in 1970 captured a Tyneside transition. It makes me feel quite

nostalgic now. That world may have gone, but Get Carter is a unique

time capsule that captured the spirit and character of an edgier

age. Si King making me Hamsik! That is

all for tonight. Ross Kemp: the Piedt against Isis is on Sky One on

Thursday at nine o'clock -- The Fight Against Isis. Tomorrow we will

have Greg
