12/09/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker. And as Alex is a

way for a couple of days, please welcome Michelle Ackerley! Her first

time on the One Show. It is happening and we are alive. Thank

you very much, guys! I feel at home. Tonight's guest is British

entertainer royalty and chooses these days I would much prefer

staying on her West Sussex country farm bank building 28 ShowBiz party

-- she would much rather stay on her West Sussex farm bank go to a

showbiz party. A woman after my own heart! It is Julie Walters! What do

you know about my rural farm. What jobs have you been doing? On the

farm? I have been selling my television show National Treasure,

Channel 49 o'clock next Tuesday. Soap farming is not for you? I love

living there. It is quiet and peaceful. I love the wildlife. I

love everything about it but I don't do any of it. What you have on the

farm? We have Sussex cattle, about 40. How many sheep have we got? 200

or 300. It is a lot of sheep! It is. 700 chickens and several pigs. And I

am not talking about the family, stop it! I am forever drafting

guests for Countryfile so you should come in. Have a chat. I could trot

out and feed an orphaned lamb or something. Collect an egg or two! We

will move on from that. Tomorrow would be Roald Dahl's 100 birthday

so schools across the land are celebrating. So few are desperately

using your imagination to make a costume, you might be wrestling with

a Oompa-Loompa or trying to sell your six-year-old into a giant

Peach, put down your costume and send us a photo whether it is good

or bad. And we will also have our very own Dahl treat. We will have a

hit performance from the musical Matilda later Ron. Before that,

Justice Secretary Liz Truss has refused to confirm whether the

government will go ahead with the prison reforms announced in the

Queen's Speech last year. Well, former prisoner turned reporter

Raphael Rowe has been behind bars to find out how one prison is starting

its own education revolution. This prison is where I spent three

months as a young man. It is currently home to 1100 prisoners.

And 35 of them are being offered an opportunity that was unheard of when

I was here. A lot of people break in prisons unless they have something

to hold onto. I could be in a cell watching TV. Here there is an

ambition to change how education is taught in prison. They hope by

inspiring prisoners to learn in a more positive environment it will

empower them and stop them reoffending. With almost half of all

prisoners in England and Wales reoffending within a year of getting

out, there is clearly room for improvement when it comes to

rehabilitating offenders. So here, they are redeveloping the present's

a wing to reincorporate a prison education activity. Addie is one

person determined to make the most of the new prison facilities. Once I

am out for myself, and I can make my way down to the study area. You live

on the same wing that you study on? That is the best part for me. You

spend more time studying. Addie was jailed for drug importation

offences. Now he is studying for accountancy. This is the education

area. The onus is on you? This programme is the first of its kind

in the UK. Prisoners can choose to take GCSE is right up to Masters.

The environment they have set up here is very different from anything

I experienced when I was in prison. They did not have the resources to

educate yourself. But the most impressive thing is it is run by

prisoners for prisoners and that is very different. Three prisoners are

in charge of running the academy and are on hand to provide support for

their fellow inmates. Anton is the lead coordinator. The prison

authorities have asked us not to show his face. Prisoners learn from

prisoners much more. Is that key? 100%. As soon as you tell people

they should do something, 100%, their guard goes up. It takes them

back to being in a classroom when they were told they had to do this

and had to do that. Today, Anton is running at study session. It is

really an usual to see a group of prisoners studying together without

a member of staff. There is no one supervising what they are doing. It

gives them huge responsibility. Another student is more long. He is

studying business management. It was as a prize that I was so interested.

It gave me some things hold onto and something to better myself. What are

you studying? It is business management. That course spoke to me

because I was in for drugs. What do you mean? How people drug deal

carries similar characteristics, marketing, distribution, sales

pitch, it you can use that model to do something legit with. What about

the future? I am not worried about the future because I am not going

back. Traditional prison education is generally available for two

sessions a week with no access to learning facilities outside that

time. Here, the Academy is always open. The man behind this

alternative approach is Swale side's head of learning Malcolm Whitelaw.

Would you like to see this method replicated in other prisons?

Absolutely. Once someone has decided they are going to change, you need

to nurture that. Malcolm hopes to open the Academy to prison staff as

well which would see them study side-by-side with the prisoners. It

remains to be seen whether the wing Academy will ever become the norm in

our prisons in the long term, but the students I met here say it is

life changing. The reason for reoffending sometimes is that there

is just nothing out there. Now life can change for me because of my

qualification. It is about people turning their life around and doing

something to better themselves when they go out into the community. If

that is not a success story, I don't know what is.

It looks like it is working. Prisoners doing it for themselves.

Julie, you alluded to it early on, you have this new drama on Channel

4, National Treasure. Robbie Coltrane plays a celebrity accused

of historic sex offences. You play his wife who sticks by him. We

will have a look in a moment. The pair of you are talking about the

investigation. It is not going to be cheap. We spend whatever it takes to

get you off, don't we? Doobie? I know I have not treated you well at

times. But you must know I didn't do this. I believe you.

This is a hard-hitting drama. We have seen with recent scandals that

image of a wife sticking by her man. What struck you with this character?

I was just fascinated. When you see those cases, you are immediately

fascinated by them, the partner and what is going on, what is going on

between them, what is going on in her head and it was just very well

written as well by Jack Thorne. And it is very complicated. All the

characters are very multilayered and complicated. She is a catholic, and

she is a good person, and she is strong and she forgives him, when

the show starts, we find out that he has been unfaithful to her

throughout their marriage, but she gets over this by thinking of it as

a weakness. He is just week, a weak man. And she allows it and as long

as he is honest with her and does not try and do anything behind her

back and everything. So really the whole four episodes are as much

about faith and doubt and family. It is family drama that is played out

in front of the public. That is the thing which is incredibly intriguing

about these cases we have seen in the past, as Michelle was saying,

that image of wife and husband going through that. It highlights that

emotional struggle and how it impacts on the family dynamic?

Guess, the first episode, she is in shock. The door opens, a jolly day,

everyone is happy and a policeman is there to arrest him. But it is about

that struggle. Did he, didn't he? Infidelity is one thing but this is

something entirely different. And you are starring in this with Robbie

Coltrane. Did you have much fun onset? We had to expect there are

not many laughs in the show. You kind of worked alongside him in

Harry Potter playing Molly. Over the ten years there were probably two

scenes where for a split second we were in together. Usually it was the

massive had agreed, not Robbie. So I felt like I knew him when we met for

rehearsals. We had the luxury of rehearsals for this. On the

first-day I said, hello! It made me want to do it knowing they had got

him. We heard that Robbie Coltrane got some of the younger actors to

sit down and watch you in Acorn Antiques. I just love that image.

Sit down, watch this! I paid him quite a lot! Well, you can give us

some cash now because we will play a clip to the viewers.

The fact is, my life seems completely great, bleak and

pointless. Well, sometimes, that is God 's way of getting you to enjoy

gardeners world. APPLAUSE

How much fun did you have that day on the set?

We had huge fun. We were always in trouble for laughing. It was not

alive audience for that part of the show so sometimes it would take

forever to get through stuff, laughing and shaking and the

director would come down and tell us. It was really good fun. It is

interesting when you look at your career there and the serious stuff

you do but you must enjoy that mix? Yes, I have been really fortunate to

work with great people, for a start and do great comedy which is fun. I

am really lucky. A fantastic career. National Treasure begins next

Tuesday at nine o'clock on Channel 4.

Now, our Paralympians have been doing a superb job in Rio. So far,

58 medals have been awarded... CHEERING

That puts Britain are on target to do better than London 2012. It is

not only testament to the hard work of the athletes but also the

precision engineering which helps many of them recognise their podium

potential. On Saturday, Andy Lewis took home

Great Britain's 30th gold medal of the Paralympics, as he put in an

incredible performance to win the para triathlon in the event's debut

at the games. While the discipline is new, this is not the first time

that athletes have competed with these carbon fibre replacement legs,

commonly known as blades. Despite losing his leg in a motorbike or --

motorbike accident at 16, Andy has never let his ambition get in the

way. Did it strange when you first put it on. It is very springy, like

wearing a pair of moon boots. Running blades were invented in the

1970s. Their unique design enables them to act like the missing calf

muscle, bending when weight and pressure is applied. The socket is

made of carbon fibre. On the back there is a valve which releases the

air. This is the hydraulic knee cylinder unit. You can also get ones

which come with spikes. I requested have this Union Jack draped over it.

I have seen kids with football ogres, Spiderman and Batman --

football logos. It cost ?15,000. They are made by a German

prosthetics company but the process of getting one fitted starts in a UK

consultation centre. Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Keira...

I'm a middle aged house wife, I lost my leg 15 years ago, I want my

children to see it not as a negative thing. These are manufacturered with

the thickness. I used to love running. I want to keep fit so I

would love to be able to do a 5k. People who do 100 metres, they want

fast acceleration, so they want to put energy in quickly and they want

it to flip back quickly. If you are jogging, you are not using the same

mechanics and you want a nice, comfortable run, so it's giving you

energy but not so it's firing you forward all the time. We'll get you

weight and measurements of your leg, things like that. Once a client is

measured, their orders are sent here, a quaint German town that has

been home to prosthetic technology for nearly a hundred years. In 1919,

a man named Otto started engineering artificial limbs for the large

number of injured veterans from World War I. Today, thousands of

amputees have arms, legs, feet, hands, knees, and running feet made

here. Keira's will take eight hours to produce and it begins with this

roll of carbon fibre. The customer's measurements are used to cut the

precise number of fibres needed to produce the required number of

thickness. The mould is wrapped for the kiln which heats it to over 150

degrees for four hours. The heat and pressure, setting the carbon fibre

layers into one strong unit. A machine drills holes into the

spring, allowing the blade to be fitted to the knee. Finally, a

pressure test is conducted where a force of 2,000 Newton metres is

applied to the blade. It's now ready for delivery. Back in

the UK, Keira has been trialing her blade for two weeks. What I'm

looking for is whether your weight is falling in the right place on

your foot, because that will give you the response you are looking

for. More weight on your left than your right, but you are looking in a

good spot at the moment. Lovely. Good. I'm not aspiring to be

anything amazing, I just want to live a full, active life and enjoy

myself to the best that I can. Ideally, I would like to inspire

other normal people like me to try things. You might not be able to do

exactly what you did before and might have to do it slightly

differently, but these thingses are possible. That was three months ago

and Keira is here to give us an update. We saw you trying the blade.

Tell us about the challenges you faced getting used to it?

It's very different from the other leg, it's very springy, also

slightly longer so it readdresses the balance, because when you are

running, you are putting two-and-a-half times the force

through the leg so it's designed to compress so that when you're

running, it feels even, but when you try to walk on it, it's quite

difficult. How far can you go now? I can do about a mile. Can you? ! I

can. But it took a while. The first time I ran, I ran for about five or

six seconds and was actually exhausted. You've got your own

protection package, you were given that when you were first trying out

the leg. Tell us more about that? When I went for the first fitting,

they gave me a pack with wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads. I

thought, really? But actually you are very unstable and if the knee

gives a, you full forward. If you step backwards, you also fall over.

In terms of protecting yourself, your wrists and things, it's

important. So what is the plan from here now Keira? I had this idea in

my mind that I wanted to run a marathon, particularly the London

Marathon. But I didn't really realise how hard it was going to be.

It's not just about the physical energy, but any deviations you have

in your gait when you are walking is magnified when running so you have

to spend a lot of time trying to compensate that. Because you put so

much pressure through and you are using energy, you sweat so you have

to take the leg off and clean the sweat away. Because your weight

burns through soft tissue it can swell so then you can't get the leg

back on. For the first month, it was a mixture of, do I take the leg off,

keep it on or deal with the sweat and see what happens, and you kind

of get pains in different areas, so you might get blisters, then work

out how to deal with those, then you might get rubbing because my socket

comes all the way up to my bone at the bottom, so it's small measures

and making small adaptations all the way until you can get where you want

to go. It's a real process. It's interesting because Julie you have

been involved in the Channel 4 Paralympics classification guide

haven't you? I am. I'm Lexi Babe. What have you learnt? All these

masses of categories, having them explained is important because half

the time you are sitting there thinking, why is this person here

and what is their disability so it explains all that. I was in the

studio quite a long time and T4 is for athletes. In the end it all

became that I didn't know what I was saying, but it's fantastic, yes.

Keira, we know you have brought your children along tonight. You have

picked a great day to come to The One Show studio, because in a moment

Matilda, the cast of Matilda, will be performing for us. We have a

picture of you Julie, around their age, age ten. Was this your acting

debut. Tell us about this, what was happening here? Where did you get

that photo? ! Found nit the bush outside your... Yeah, yeah! It was a

mid summer night's dream at Holly Lodge Gram more School for girls

1961, something like that, I was 11. It was the only play they did, they

wouldn't have me after that. I played Moth. Good role. Strong role

they told me, yes. I had three lines! Julie Walters as Moth!

Good news everybody, this Friday, yet another new iPhone is being

released. Hurray. Thank goodness for that. Of course, there's bound to be

huge queues of people outside stores anxious to get one first. And we

know this because it was the same in 2015, 2014, 2013, you are getting

the picture and so on and so on. I'm sure we all know somebody who knows

all about that. For Tommy Sandhu, enough is enough, if your head is

spinning around for the upgrades like his, this is for you.

Do I look annoyed? ! I am. These people have only gone and announced

a new brand-new phone and me being me, I feel like I've got to have it

but why, what's wrong with this one? I've had it a couple of years, it

does what I want it to do, but now I can't wait to get the new one. Who

is in control of me? Me? Or them? It's the megaturbo nutter super

pixel double camera splash resistant iPhone 7! I for one just can't help

myself. But the top-of-the-range 250

gigabyte model will set you back a whopping ?919. Last year, two thirds

of UK adults bought a smartphone and ownership in the 55-64-year-old age

group's more than doubled since 2012. Do we really need any more?

When did it suddenly get to, you need more, you must have a phone

that does more things? The game changer is this device, the iPhone,

the first one, it changed the mobile landscape for ever. Why is the

iPhone 7 going to hand out? I call it the Hotel California of

smartphones, once you are in, it's hard to leave. If your mates have an

iPhone, they'll get the next and the next. Apple have this uncanny

ability to bring in new features sothe new one is waterproof, dust

proof, it's got a dual camera on the high end so you can do zoom. Lots of

things going on, little things like the black finish. That's what gets

people queueing up, it's the phone they've grown to love, it does

everything they want and Apple have this emotional engagement with their

customers which keeps drawing them to the devices. Who is calling the

shots here, Apple or us? Apple. Apple are telling us what we need?

Yes. I'm not big on phones, I get what is cheapest and works. They are

getting expensive. Doing pretty much the same as they were a few years

ago, only a few minor upgrades. I'm not particularly interested in the

iPhone 7. Why are you not interested? I have a phone that's

not an iPhone that's great and meets all my needs. I'm one of those that

gets the new one as soon as it comes out. I like new things. Over the

last ten years, there's been plenty of reasons to upgrade. When you

consider once we needed all these things to get through our day, now

all we need is this! If there's going to be an iPhone 8,

it better be revolutionary. If it could teleport me, that would be

good because I do go on Southern. Bad railway? Yes. Weather charging

would be great so there are no cables. I want something discreet in

my ear. Never run out of battery. Never ending battery? Yes, that

would be cool. I'm going to have to break the news to my iPhone 6. It's

over. Yes, look, we have had a good couple of years, great memories and

great times together but I think it's time to move on. And it's not

you, it's really not you, there's nothing wrong with you, and it's not

me either. It's Apple. Now, earlier we asked you to send in your Dahl

Day costumes and you haven't disappointed. Check this out. This

is Charlie wearing George's marvellous medicine bottle and

spoon. This is Erin from Northern Ireland

as Mrs Twist. And we asked for a giant peach and here it is in the

shape of Georgia covered in paper mache. Well done. Julie, thank you

so much for coming on the show. National Treasure begins next

Tuesday at 9 on Channel 4. We are joined by Nick Knowles and Shakin'

Stevens tomorrow. Now to celebrate Roald Dahl's centenary, it's Matilda

the musical, which you can see in London's children. In this world,

there are small and shrivelled children, small and weak and smelly.

BBC Four and looks back at 60 years of the genre...

It was a kind of feeling that you just don't get
