:00:10. > :00:17.It is day seven of the rickshaw challenge. If you have been watching
:00:18. > :00:23.our magnificent six this week, you will know our trip has been full of
:00:24. > :00:27.ups and downs. Today is no exception so join as at the historic dockyard
:00:28. > :00:36.in Chatham for all the news. Hello and welcome to
:00:37. > :00:40.your Thursday One Show, where Team Rickshaw will
:00:41. > :00:43.arrive aboard HMS Gannet live - and Matt will be there
:00:44. > :00:47.to cheer them on. Now, as Matt will be on a ship
:00:48. > :00:49.in Chatham, I need someone on board
:00:50. > :01:01.here, to help me in the studio. I'm just waiting for a bus. Have you
:01:02. > :01:04.got half an hour to spare? For you, Alex, yes.
:01:05. > :01:09.Frank, the good news is you're in peak interviewing form, aren't you?
:01:10. > :01:17.Yes, I'm doing an exclusive show for BBC I play where I talk to
:01:18. > :01:24.celebrities about what they watch on television. And tomorrow, you and
:01:25. > :01:27.Lee Mack are in bed together for television purposes watching I play.
:01:28. > :01:32.The Lee Mack episode is available tomorrow.
:01:33. > :01:41.Can I tell you? I have had a lot of problems with my son's been planned.
:01:42. > :01:49.He drew this himself but it is a link. Our two guests this evening in
:01:50. > :01:59.combination could help them. Let's hope they can. Please welcome,
:02:00. > :02:14.superstar pianist Lang Lang. And Monty Don. I think that planet is
:02:15. > :02:19.dead rather than dying. I think you could have broken that a bit more
:02:20. > :02:27.gently. When was the last time you wanted it? It looked moist. I
:02:28. > :02:37.thought I was the one that would lower the tone.
:02:38. > :02:44.Monty, do you think music is good for plants?
:02:45. > :02:55.Let's give it a go? # Gardener's World
:02:56. > :03:14.# Gardener's World Theme. APPLAUSE It's a miracle. It's incredible.
:03:15. > :03:17.Actually, the hairs on my legs are half an inch longer. That's amazing.
:03:18. > :03:20.Isn't it just. Monty's new series is a journey
:03:21. > :03:23.through British gardening history - more from him and Lang Lang
:03:24. > :03:28.later in the programme. This week, the World Anti-Doping
:03:29. > :03:30.Agency accused Russian athletics of cheating, and the Russians
:03:31. > :03:35.responded, saying UK drug tests are Iwan once lost gold to
:03:36. > :04:01.a drugs cheat, and so he was keen to As an athlete, I won medals at every
:04:02. > :04:07.major championships and was tested 100s of times, and was always clean.
:04:08. > :04:11.I won silver at the World Championships in Athens. This was
:04:12. > :04:19.upgraded to gold after two of the winning American team confessed to
:04:20. > :04:24.taking performance enhancing drugs. Rumours have never gone away and now
:04:25. > :04:27.athletics is in crisis. A hard-hitting report has called for
:04:28. > :04:33.Russia to be banned from international competition. So is
:04:34. > :04:37.enough done in the UK to keep our sport people clean? I have signed up
:04:38. > :04:44.to see how it works. My name will be added to the doping testing pool.
:04:45. > :04:52.Alex Newman is logging me onto their system. You will need to provide a
:04:53. > :04:59.60 minute time slot every day and need to remain there for the full 60
:05:00. > :05:07.minutes. We can rock up at any time of the day at any time of the year.
:05:08. > :05:12.If you are not available, you have a missed test and three strikes in 12
:05:13. > :05:18.months you get a ban. In my day, it was pen and paper, the odd phone
:05:19. > :05:24.call. Now, there is a computer and an app. There is no excuse for me
:05:25. > :05:31.not to be on top of this. It was a lot to take in. I have got my pack
:05:32. > :05:36.and I have got the app. Being an athlete, competing and training is
:05:37. > :05:42.tough. Filling out your whereabouts is exhausting. It has to be tough.
:05:43. > :05:51.According to Nicole who leads the anti-doping agency. What we can do
:05:52. > :05:54.is demonstrate to people out there that the majority of athletes from
:05:55. > :06:01.the majority of sports are competing cleanly. I always felt that the
:06:02. > :06:05.testers in the UK were the best and strictest in the world. I would like
:06:06. > :06:11.to think that we are up there with the top anti-doping agencies. We
:06:12. > :06:16.constantly push for a level playing field around the world, making sure
:06:17. > :06:21.that our international counterparts are doing the same sort of things
:06:22. > :06:26.that we are. The system I'm using was developed by the world
:06:27. > :06:30.anti-dumping agency. It is also used by the Russians but according to the
:06:31. > :06:41.agency, those overseeing it won't trustworthy. At this athletics club,
:06:42. > :06:45.the athletes are training. It is tough to keep on top of where you
:06:46. > :06:51.have said you are going to be. If you're going to compete, you have
:06:52. > :06:56.too expected. It is part of the package. What comes with it. The
:06:57. > :07:04.system requires me to constantly update my schedule. It is my first
:07:05. > :07:09.day of being on the register. I feel panicky like I should be hoovering
:07:10. > :07:16.the house or something in case somebody comes around. At 7:30am 13
:07:17. > :07:22.days after I signed up, there was a knock on the door. I had a weird
:07:23. > :07:30.feeling that you would come today. You have been selected for a Euro
:07:31. > :07:36.and best -- a you're in test. I'm going to have to do start jinking
:07:37. > :07:41.fluids. I literally went to the toilet just before you came. As I
:07:42. > :07:50.don't need to use the toilet right away, we are going to have to wait.
:07:51. > :08:05.You are not coming in for this bit. The testing officer is. He is right
:08:06. > :08:13.beside me, checking that it is definitely my urine in the part.
:08:14. > :08:19.Only I am allowed to touch the part. Cheers for that. If I were a
:08:20. > :08:28.competing athlete, my sample would be taken to the lab for testing. I
:08:29. > :08:34.had forgotten how intrusive it is. Someone standing over you watching,
:08:35. > :08:43.and so many forms to fill out. It is the only way to keep sport clean. If
:08:44. > :08:50.I'm honest, I prefer my new life, no more filling out forms. Just the
:08:51. > :08:55.sofa. Isn't it strange, you have got exactly the same wallpaper in your
:08:56. > :09:04.living room. He will never be an Through The Keyhole what about his
:09:05. > :09:09.tattoos. When he answered the door, I thought his cardigan had shrunk!
:09:10. > :09:11.It turns out that there were antidoping tests at the
:09:12. > :09:14.Entrants into the giant tomato competition were
:09:15. > :09:17.DNA-tested to make sure they hadn't cheated by creating hybrid plants.
:09:18. > :09:29.It is actually a cold sore. You never know if these giant things
:09:30. > :09:31.taste good. Who knows what they are filled with. Mainly water, I
:09:32. > :09:38.suspect. I watched your new "The Secret History of the British
:09:39. > :09:55.Garden" series you were talking about the
:09:56. > :10:02.hybrid plans. People thought it was almost an act of blasphemy. There
:10:03. > :10:07.was a hybrid made of a carnation and a sweet William. This man made this
:10:08. > :10:13.hybrid and people thought it was blasphemous. Only God could create
:10:14. > :10:16.plants. To create a new plant that had never existed before was going
:10:17. > :10:26.against the law of God and by extension nation -- nature. He gave
:10:27. > :10:37.a sermon on the great works of God to save his soul. There is a garden
:10:38. > :10:44.at Lifton, new build. It is almost like something from the da Vinci
:10:45. > :10:50.code. This photograph was taken by the Luftwaffe in the war. They found
:10:51. > :10:55.letters referring to a garden that no one knew where it was. They saw
:10:56. > :11:02.that picture and looked for it and discovered it. In 2008 they found
:11:03. > :11:09.the picture, really recently. It was a catholic garden, in code. A secret
:11:10. > :11:14.garden for religious workers of the Catholic faith. At the time, a
:11:15. > :11:22.proscribed religion. It was made by a nephew of a man in the gunpowder
:11:23. > :11:28.plot. He was a Catholic. It was wiped away. For 400 years it laid
:11:29. > :11:36.hidden. Have you ever had cause on this programme to thank the
:11:37. > :11:43.Luftwaffe before? I don't think we have. You have looked at gardens
:11:44. > :11:50.over the centuries. Which one stood out for you? Was it Thomas Paxton?
:11:51. > :11:56.He was a Victorian powerhouse who could make anything. Out of steel,
:11:57. > :12:01.out of glass. The man I Love is William Kent. He was a drunkard. He
:12:02. > :12:11.would design your garden, sleep with your wife and drink your seller! Is
:12:12. > :12:16.this why he is your hero? He made a garden that has been untouched since
:12:17. > :12:21.the 1730s. It was the first garden that took the idea of landscape
:12:22. > :12:29.gardening. He was hopeless, all over the shop but he made this work of
:12:30. > :12:37.genius. Every time I go, I think it is poetry. So pretty. I had never
:12:38. > :12:46.thought about the lawn becoming popular. In 1675. A lawn, you have
:12:47. > :12:51.to cut it short. They only had a side. I made one for this programme
:12:52. > :13:01.and it was a struggle. It is not easy to do. The lawn mower was
:13:02. > :13:06.originally developed to cut wall. I learned that the development of the
:13:07. > :13:10.motor mower was as a result of the First World War when they developed
:13:11. > :13:16.the ball bearing. Presumably for guns. That meant that they could
:13:17. > :13:22.take a motor and apply it to the blades efficiently. Hence motor
:13:23. > :13:25.mowers. Then everybody got a lawn. Frank and I have learned a lot this
:13:26. > :13:33.afternoon. It is fascinating. The Secret History of The British
:13:34. > :13:35.Garden This year's Rickshaw Challenge has
:13:36. > :13:40.had more support from you at home That support has helped
:13:41. > :13:42.Team Rickshaw through some difficult moments
:13:43. > :13:51.and today has been no different. As we waved goodbye to Brighton.
:13:52. > :13:59.Elliott who has had trouble with his knee has to put it to the test. And
:14:00. > :14:04.we've his way through the 827. One of the busiest a roads in the
:14:05. > :14:12.country. The noise and the speed and the traffic zipping around you is
:14:13. > :14:18.quite daunting. Keep a nice pace. Nice and calm. Nearly there. From an
:14:19. > :14:24.outsider's perspective, it is lovely to see you as a group and what you
:14:25. > :14:35.have managed to achieve. It is more a family than 18 now. We are also
:14:36. > :14:39.close. It is really close. As we arrived into Lewes, Lucy is on
:14:40. > :14:46.familiar territory. What are you going to do with the weekend? I are
:14:47. > :14:54.staying here in Lewes. My mum and dad live here. Are they going to be
:14:55. > :14:58.out this morning? I don't know. My mum might be very ill. Little does
:14:59. > :15:03.she know, there is a big surprise waiting for her.
:15:04. > :15:16.Hello! Well done. Did you think your granddaughter would be such a big
:15:17. > :15:23.hit with Team Rickshaw? Yes! I cannot believe you are here. Last
:15:24. > :15:28.night, Amira was back in the arms of her family. She is riding the
:15:29. > :15:34.rickshaw for her older sister, who suffered a sudden brain haemorrhage
:15:35. > :15:43.two years ago. How much medication is she on? She still has about 15
:15:44. > :15:47.different medications a day. I cannot imagine what it must feel
:15:48. > :15:54.like to have something like that happen to your whole family. Yes, I
:15:55. > :16:01.guess it is what everyone says. You do not think something like that
:16:02. > :16:09.will happen. This time morning, for Amira, it is all too much. We will
:16:10. > :16:13.pull in here. Everybody here is there for you and you are doing this
:16:14. > :16:22.together. You know what, this is tough. But
:16:23. > :16:31.this is the reality of what Children In Need is about. They are doing
:16:32. > :16:39.this because they have faced the biggest challenges you could imagine
:16:40. > :16:48.in their lives. Do you feel strong enough to step in and help out? Yes.
:16:49. > :16:54.Yes. I know the team this year has really
:16:55. > :16:59.connected with you at home. The team camaraderie and the way they have
:17:00. > :17:03.helped each other and created a strong bond, over just seven days,
:17:04. > :17:11.it is testament to what they have been through in their lives. In my
:17:12. > :17:18.eyes, there should not be children who are in need. The fact is, there
:17:19. > :17:23.are. This is Lucy, who has been dealt difficult cards. And yet
:17:24. > :17:29.somehow she is managing to get through life with the biggest smile
:17:30. > :17:33.on her face. To have that positivity is hugely inspiring. All of these
:17:34. > :17:37.riders, they have got to where they are because of the support and help
:17:38. > :17:44.they have been given from Children In Need. The only way children like
:17:45. > :18:02.these here can get that is through your donations.
:18:03. > :18:06.Well, Amira, I know it was difficult, the conversation we had
:18:07. > :18:15.earlier and this afternoon you got back on the rickshaw and you rode an
:18:16. > :18:20.impressive six miles. You feeling? I feel better. I had a chat with the
:18:21. > :18:23.team and they made me feel better. If you want to text and show your
:18:24. > :18:27.support, George has the job of telling you how. If you want to give
:18:28. > :18:35.money to us... That is to give ?5. If you feel more
:18:36. > :18:50.generous, to give ?10... Texts will cost your donation,
:18:51. > :18:54.plus your standard network message All of your donation will
:18:55. > :18:58.go to Children in Need. You must be 16 or over - and please
:18:59. > :19:02.ask for the bill payer's permission. For more information
:19:03. > :19:23.and full terms and conditions go to Please donate now.
:19:24. > :19:29.As well as riding the rickshaw, they also have to do a speech. So many
:19:30. > :19:34.people have said there is no way they could stand up in front of so
:19:35. > :19:38.many people and deliver a speech with the content, the kind of stuff
:19:39. > :19:47.they are talking about, but it is remarkable, you have been to concert
:19:48. > :19:50.halls, the Strictly dancing floor. When it came to Lucy, we wondered
:19:51. > :20:04.where to take her. The corner shop, of course!
:20:05. > :20:10.I am at the shop and I am about to give my speech for Children In Need.
:20:11. > :20:14.I am nervous. I would like to introduce you to someone rather
:20:15. > :20:20.remarkable. Lucy, you are on! APPLAUSE.
:20:21. > :20:32.I have cerebral palsy, which affects my legs. And by hands and feet. I
:20:33. > :20:40.have sight problems and I am deaf. The doctors told my mum I would
:20:41. > :20:50.probably never talk! But look at me now.
:20:51. > :20:55.I go to a project. Children In Need have part funded this work. They
:20:56. > :21:05.make sure everyone achieves their goals.
:21:06. > :21:11.Children In Need have made a huge difference to people'slives. Please
:21:12. > :21:22.donate. Your money could help support people like me. Thank you.
:21:23. > :21:25.APPLAUSE. Well done. There are words written above our
:21:26. > :21:35.heads and it says deeds, not words. I think as long as rickshaw are
:21:36. > :21:40.concerned, the lengths they are going to our remarkable. You are a
:21:41. > :21:45.super team. We are one short because Elliot, your son, will be riding
:21:46. > :21:49.over the finishing line tonight. Elliot was diagnosed with cancer two
:21:50. > :21:55.years ago. He is in remission now. You said before he came on air he
:21:56. > :22:00.said things during this challenge that you did not even knowing.
:22:01. > :22:07.How did it feel to hear that he was being strong for you? It sums it up.
:22:08. > :22:12.He is a fantastic boy. He tries to protect us all the time. We are
:22:13. > :22:16.incredibly proud of him. Listening to some of the things he was saying
:22:17. > :22:22.on the challenge has opened my eyes as to what he was going through. I
:22:23. > :22:29.will have a big chat with him when he gets home. I am sure you are.
:22:30. > :22:34.David, what a week to watch this from home? It has been. I have
:22:35. > :22:41.missed him terribly. The house has been empty and quiet. That is not a
:22:42. > :22:53.good thing. We have now, who is in bits, as always and a very special
:22:54. > :22:57.person, -- nan. And we have one of Elliot's best friends. But listen
:22:58. > :23:03.now as he comes to the dockyard. These scenes of your son bringing
:23:04. > :23:09.the rickshaw home on the penultimate day. Here he comes. Up onto HMS
:23:10. > :23:16.Gannet is. Elliot, your family is here. We have your best friend.
:23:17. > :23:24.Aaron is here. Have those hugs and kisses. What a wonderful moment
:23:25. > :23:29.basis. Elliot, can I take you away for one moment and just explain to
:23:30. > :23:35.us... Just introduce us to your friend and tell us how you met. This
:23:36. > :23:42.is Aaron, he is one of my closest mates. That is in Teens Unite. He
:23:43. > :23:48.has been there since the beginning, the first Christmas party I went to.
:23:49. > :23:56.It has been inspiring to meet Aaron. To learn about his story. It is
:23:57. > :24:00.great I am such a close mate now. We are doing this for donations so
:24:01. > :24:02.other children can get the support that you and the likes of Team
:24:03. > :24:06.Rickshaw have had. I know you are excited about the total. It
:24:07. > :24:27.will be revealed. Let's reveal the total... Last night
:24:28. > :24:39.it was 1,266,000. Tonight it is an enormous... 1,000,590. It is huge.
:24:40. > :24:47.Another day to go. This is where we are headed tomorrow. This is the
:24:48. > :24:55.final leg. The finishing line. The children in need studio is not far
:24:56. > :25:01.away. They will have completed 477 miles. The dream is to raise 1.2
:25:02. > :25:05.million so that we can take the Rickshaw Challenge over the ?10
:25:06. > :25:12.million mark over the years. I know we can do it and I know they deserve
:25:13. > :25:15.it. Let's hear it one more time for Team Rickshaw, and let's see if we
:25:16. > :25:22.can get to that magical figure. Back to you.
:25:23. > :25:27.It has been humbling watching those six youngsters. And Matt has been a
:25:28. > :25:31.terrific support. In a moment...
:25:32. > :25:32.Lang Lang will perform Tchaikovsky's June
:25:33. > :25:47.That is extremely exciting. The more exciting news, for people who cannot
:25:48. > :25:51.play. Is that you have developed an app. How easy is it to use and can
:25:52. > :25:59.you go from zero to being able to play? That is our hope. We would
:26:00. > :26:06.like to create something and you can just open it and learn different
:26:07. > :26:11.techniques, different feelings and emotions and also click on me and I
:26:12. > :26:16.will show you various aspects of the technique. It is like having you in
:26:17. > :26:23.the living room as a tutor. It is cheaper! We are excited about
:26:24. > :26:25.hearing you played. If you make your way over to the piano that will be
:26:26. > :26:30.lovely. A pleasure. The Secret History Of The British
:26:31. > :26:34.Garden starts on Sunday, at 9pm, Thank you,
:26:35. > :26:39.Frank for being my cohost tonight. Have you enjoyed it? You were the
:26:40. > :26:45.wind beneath my wings. You can see Frank's new show,
:26:46. > :26:47.called On Demand, exclusively And you can see Alex tomorrow,
:26:48. > :26:51.live from the Queen Vic with Ellie Goulding, Peter Andre
:26:52. > :26:56.and a bulldog called Lady Di. Let's get Team Rickshaw to two --
:26:57. > :27:06.2.1. And now, here's the incredible
:27:07. > :27:10.Lang Lang with Tchaikovsky's June.
