Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. How | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
do you like the set? Look at it. We have gone all Christmassy. How | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
about that. As a lot of you woke up to fog, we've added some. Now, | :00:35. | :00:39. | |
joining us tonight are two beacons of elegance, diggity and grace for | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:50. | ||
women everywhere. Are you OK? stopped over last night, Alan. He | :00:50. | :00:56. | |
was going to sleep in the spare bedroom but... | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
LAUGHTER I don't know, one thing led to | :00:59. | :01:09. | |
:01:09. | :01:11. | ||
another. And we shared the same bed. OK. It's Anne Reid and Miranda Hart. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
The fog has cleared, so we can see now. Hilarious. What is more | :01:20. | :01:23. | |
embarrassing, getting soaked by a fountain or talking to your mum | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
about your love life? Probably and weirdly the latter. I think so too. | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
I'm with you. I would rather be getting soaked by a fountain than | :01:33. | :01:43. | |
:01:43. | :01:44. | ||
talk to my mum about everything very personal! Speaking of which - | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
there is a survey, but that over 65-year-olds are concerned about | :01:49. | :01:52. | |
what younger members of their family if they strike up a | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
relationship. I'll do what I want to do. I don't think my son would | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
mind at all. I couldn't possibly be bothered, but I... | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
LAUGHTER All that ironing shirts. It's | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
somebody to go out with, but I don't have to cook for somebody or | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
consult somebody every day about are we going to do this. High five | :02:17. | :02:23. | |
me Anne Reid. Don't leave me hanging. Thank you! It was nearly | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
an awkward moment! In one moment we'll be honouring Miranda with | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
some impressions of her. We are. Don't panic. It's all right. But | :02:34. | :02:39. | |
Anne, so you don't feel left out, we have a clip of you with James | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
Bond. We've all done that! first... No, you haven't. No, I | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
haven't. Firstly, we would like to say hello to this person. That's | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
Jessica there. Hello there. Hello. Jessica, before we explain why | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
you're celebrating today. Let us all know why it is such a special | :03:02. | :03:07. | |
date today. Well, it's the 12th day of the 12th more 2012 and it's my | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
birthday. APPLAUSE | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
Hang on, hang on. Jessica, how old are you? I'm 12 today. | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
APPLAUSE Have you had lots of lovely | :03:22. | :03:31. | |
presents, Jessica? Yes. Like what? I've got a mobile phone, toiletries, | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
make-up, clothes and some money. Good. All the girlie essentials. I | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
think your mum has an extra present for you. Is mum around to bring it? | :03:41. | :03:49. | |
Yes. Here he comes. It's a One Show cake. You can't see it very well, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
but there you are. Isn't it lovely. You can blow out the candles and | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
make I wish if you like. APPLAUSE | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
Many happy returns. Have a very, very happy birthday. Lovely. We | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
would like to set ourselves a challenge to find another eleven | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
people who happen to be 12 today on 12th of the 12th of the 12. E-mail | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
us a picture and we'll wish you a happy birthday later on. It's my | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
grandson's birthday. He's only four. That's double. Nearly there. Right, | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
first, there was the mis-selling of endowment mortgages and then dodgy | :04:33. | :04:39. | |
PPI policies and now Miranda, CPP. Now, last time you were on and I | :04:39. | :04:46. | |
quote, you said, "I don't want to let womankind down when people | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
start talking about ISA. I think they're talking about biscuits." So | :04:51. | :04:58. | |
here you are. We have got you some. Enjoy nibbling while you watch the | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
film. You may never have heard of them, | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
but for six years card protection plan limit sold insurance against | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
ID fraud and the loss of bank cards to more than four million of us, | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
making hundreds of millions of pounds in the process. But now, the | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
Financial Services Authority has fined the company �10.5 million. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
The FSA say many of those insurance policies were miss-sold and that | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
card protection plan limited duped people to buy products they didn't | :05:32. | :05:38. | |
want or need. CPP's card protection insurance would set you back around | :05:38. | :05:45. | |
�35 a year. It promised to pay out up to �100,000 if you had money | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
stolen from your bank or storecards, but here's the catch - many | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
customers didn't really need it. your bank card is stolen and there | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
is a fraud you don't have to pay the money bank. It's the bank | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
that's responsible. There was very little chance of anybody claiming. | :06:04. | :06:12. | |
How much money were CPP making? They made �354 million. That's a | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
lot of money from two products that basically they shouldn't have been | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
selling in the first place. In the six years from January 2005, CPP | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
sold and renewed more than 23 million policies. So how did they | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
do it? Well, most of the new policies were sold as a result of | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
partnerships with some of the UK's biggest banks, including Barclays, | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
RBS, Santander and HSBC. When some of the banks sent out new credit | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
cards there was often a sticker on the front with a telephone number | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
on it for the card to be activated. But, if you rang the number you | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
were put through to a CPP salesman who would try to sell you an | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
insurance policy for something you were already covered for by your | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
bank. And, if you took out a policy, the bank got a commission. Back in | :07:04. | :07:09. | |
2002, Gemma, from Wakefield, was called by CPP offering her | :07:09. | :07:17. | |
insurance to cover her bank and stores can cards. -- storcards. | :07:17. | :07:24. | |
They immediate -- storecards and they made it seem easy. In 2005, | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
she was called again by CPP, this time trying to sell her what he | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
called an ID protection policy, offering a fraud detection service | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
and insurance to cover legal fees and loss of earnings. It wasn't | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
something I needed. I didn't think it would happen to me, then he | :07:40. | :07:43. | |
started with the thing, what happens if you were a victim and | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
what would I do. I couldn't say anything, because I really hadn't a | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
clue what would I do. Gemma, did you not feel you could just say no? | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
No. He was very, very persistent. In the end I caved if just to get | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
him off the phone. -- in just to get him off the phone. Hello. | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
Financial Services Authority found customers like Gemma were quoted | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
some dubious statistics. CPP staff were told to say that one in five | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
of us will be a victim of ID crime by the end of the year and one | :08:15. | :08:21. | |
sales agent referred to a 40% increase in identity theft. I feel | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
like I've paid for something which I didn't want and had to pay for | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
the exact same thing again. I feel it's a bit tough. Gemma paid CPP | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
close to �440 for the two policies and now he wants to know if she's | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
one of the millions of people that the FSA believes are victims of | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
mis-selling. The Financial Services Authority said, not to put foo fine | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
a point on it, that the sales people lied and misused statistics, | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
they misdescribed the product and exaggerated the benefits and they | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
told people they were much more likely to suffer from ID theft than | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
they were. As well as being handed that hefty fine, CPP is now banned | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
from selling any more of those insurance products. Although, they | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
can invite customers to renew existing policies. CPP told the One | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Show it recognised that it had a great deal to do to rebuild its | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
reputation and to regain the trust of the customers. It said it was | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
deeply sorry for what happened and the mistakes that were made. Well, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
Jonathan is here now. Welcome to what we are calling our snofa. | :09:29. | :09:37. | |
Lovely. I like that. Anne was just saying there that she has credit | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
card protection. What should people do if they have ID protection or | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
that insurance with CPP? Well, it may well be a case of belt and | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
braces, because what CPP have done with a lot of people is effectively | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
sold them a very expensive pair of braces when they are already | :09:54. | :09:59. | |
wearing a belt. The fact is that they have miss-sold an awful lot of | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
policies and if you have been miss- sold a policy you will get a -- an | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
e-mail in January. If something happens you will get one saying you | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
can claim and then it could be a few hundred quid or even more. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
You'll find out soon. If people like Anne, people are dropping | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
things over there, think they have been miss-sold ID protection and | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
insurance, how can they prove it? It's very difficult, but there are | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
three things. Try to remember in the phone call. If you were put | :10:31. | :10:35. | |
under pressure or quoted things like, ", one in five people have | :10:35. | :10:42. | |
been the victim of ID fraud." That's a mazive exaggeration, so -- | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
massive exaggeration, so that is a clue. Crucially, if you put in a | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
claim and it's turned down by CPP you can say to them, "I want a | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
recording of that phone call." It may cost you between �5 or �10. You | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
may have a case. There you are Anne. I'm not sure it's the same thing. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Wait for January. It's worth checking. If people are shopping | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
around for insurance, what should they keep their eyes open for? | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
it's interesting this thing about being already covered. I recently | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
wanted to take out holiday insurance. I checked on my bank | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
statements and realised I already had holiday insurance as a bolt-on | :11:19. | :11:25. | |
to the bank statements, so I didn't need it. Also, there are the family | :11:25. | :11:30. | |
heirloom things and are really paying attention? Yes. Where people | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
say, "Should I pay a grand to have my grandmother's jewellery | :11:36. | :11:45. | |
insured?" it's probably irreplaceable any way. So why spend | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
the money? Always shop around. I was quoted �1,000 for house | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
insurance. Went online and got a quote for �200. The difference can | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
be that much. You worry with the computers that you are thinking | :11:58. | :12:00. | |
someone is telling you there is ID fraud and you will have the | :12:00. | :12:08. | |
insurance for that. It's very easy to go along. This company, CPP, in | :12:08. | :12:12. | |
the report, they made �354 million gross profit selling these | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
insurance policies and as I say, a lot of people already had the belt, | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
so didn't need the braces. Have we got time? What do you do about the | :12:20. | :12:26. | |
people who ring you up all the time and ask if you've had an accident | :12:26. | :12:36. | |
and I think which one? I'm fine, goodbye. Whatever you do, do not | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
reply, because what happens is if you reply then they will sell your | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
details on to someone often for up to �7.50 a time and you'll carry on | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
getting the calls. If you reply they will know you're live. I get | :12:49. | :12:54. | |
them all the time. Thank you. Good advice. Thank you very much indeed. | :12:55. | :13:03. | |
Miranda, we know you're an expert is physical comedy. -- on is | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
physical comedy. You have turned falling into a bit of an artform. | :13:08. | :13:18. | |
:13:18. | :13:19. | ||
as a smooth operator. LAUGHTER | :13:19. | :13:28. | |
I wish the ground would swallow me LAUGHTER | :13:28. | :13:29. | |
Hello! APPLAUSE | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
APPLAUSE We | :13:35. | :13:35. | |
We have | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
We have established | :13:36. | :13:36. | |
We have established that | :13:36. | :13:39. | |
We have established that you're a bit of an expert faller overer, if | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
there's such a thing. What we were wondering is whether your skills | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
can be passed on to the next generation of actors. Standing by | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
are three students from the very same drama school that you trained | :13:53. | :13:59. | |
at and each will attempt to recreate a Miranda fall from a past | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
episode. First up, we have Ben. Hello. Now then, this is your | :14:03. | :14:09. | |
Miranda fall. Look at this. doesn't mean I can't be feminine. | :14:09. | :14:19. | |
:14:19. | :14:24. | ||
Look at that. Working it. It's all about the recovery, isn't it? | :14:24. | :14:26. | |
APPLAUSE It's all about the recovery. This | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
is Ben. Obviously because of health and safety he's got a helmet and he | :14:32. | :14:41. | |
has a boiler suit. Good luck with this. Thank you. There's the first | :14:41. | :14:47. | |
bit. All all about the recovery, isn't it? Here it comes. | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
APPLAUSE We can have another look at that | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
now, while you give a critique over it. Here we are. There he goes. | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
Lovely. It's quite male model to start with. I like the squishing of | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
the coat. Because I can see, I can tell the viewers that I can see a | :15:09. | :15:18. | |
crash mat. I didn't have one, thank you! I'm meant to be critiquing him, | :15:18. | :15:23. | |
not showing off. Now, back to me. More later on. Well done, Ben. | :15:23. | :15:33. | |
:15:33. | :15:34. | ||
We had to learn to fall down in classes, with Miss Phillips. I can | :15:34. | :15:42. | |
still do it. Not now. No, but in a Victoria Wood show, Mr Wright, the | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
very first one I ever did, somebody pulled a chair out and I had to | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
fall on the floor and it was the editing which made it so funny and | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
it still makes me laugh. I have had to fall down in a play at the | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
National Theatre. Not too long ago, I can't remember how long, maybe | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
two years, I was in Shameless and I had to have a fight with somebody | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
and I had to fall down on the floor and I said I did not need a stunt | :16:12. | :16:21. | |
woman, I do my own fall it! She knocked me over and I fell down and | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
nearly knocked myself out! I thought, I think we are too old to | :16:26. | :16:33. | |
do this now! We might find a spare helmet, Anne! I can't believe you | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
had classes in falling over at Rada us. That is the scoot. You have to | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
relax. You are a natural. You must have | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
done much falling over in the lead- up to Christmas because you on TV a | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
lot. You're right there on Christmas Day in Call the Midwife | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
and series three of Miranda on Boxing Day. Do you feel nervous? | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Very nervous actually. You have spent seven months writing it and | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
then we perform it and we do it in front of a live audience so we get | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
some feedback, but it is still letting go of your baby. You don't | :17:12. | :17:19. | |
want it to be on almost. Will you watch it? Or will you play a board | :17:19. | :17:24. | |
game or something? I am not very good at sitting watching myself. It | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
is a privilege to be on the TV at Christmas. It is a dream come true. | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
But it has slightly ruined Christmas telly for me! Seeing as | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
you can't watch it, the whole episode, have a look at a little | :17:39. | :17:49. | |
:17:49. | :17:55. | ||
That his sexual, I am not doing that. When in Rome. Hello, I am | :17:55. | :18:04. | |
gymnastics level two. What else can we look forward to it | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
in a new series? I think she is wonderful. That means a lot coming | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
from you. Ask my friends, I am a huge fan. Stop it! Give us an idea | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
of what Anne can look forward to. There is some kissing. I am not | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
saying anything more than that. There is a couple of celebrity | :18:29. | :18:35. | |
cameos, that is exciting. The can you give us a clue? We were trying | :18:35. | :18:44. | |
to keep it secret but it got out. Gary Barlow. Lucky you! Said | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
Miranda has a new gallery in her life? I had not thought of it like | :18:48. | :18:58. | |
:18:58. | :19:00. | ||
that. And Raymond Blanc was in it. Is he working in the pub? No. | :19:00. | :19:05. | |
It is more of a general story, it feels a bit different, there is | :19:05. | :19:10. | |
more characters, a couple of new characters, yeah. The first two | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
episodes set it up quite slowly. is quite monumental because it will | :19:16. | :19:26. | |
:19:26. | :19:28. | ||
be the last sitcom to be filmed in studio 8 or TC8. Yes, it is the | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
famous sitcom studio and I had a little weep actually when it | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
stopped. In it is true! It was my dream to get into comedy since I | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
could remember so I could not believe I was in that studio, all | :19:42. | :19:48. | |
of my heroes, absolutely fabulous, Blackadder, Morecambe and Wise, all | :19:48. | :19:55. | |
of the greats. But you were not on your own weeping. I spent a lot of | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
time in there myself with Blue Peter and last night I was | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
wandering around. I was there for eight years. I just wandered around | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
last night and thought, it is gone. The Philip Schofield wants to steal | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
the signs from studious six so if you want to come and join us... -- | :20:15. | :20:25. | |
:20:25. | :20:26. | ||
studio six. Anyway! Also, your book. This is my wife's copy actually. It | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
is basically on our bedside table. You hit a woman in the face with a | :20:34. | :20:42. | |
prawn, yes? Yes, but by accident. I didn't just think, she looked annoy | :20:42. | :20:52. | |
you. Prawn admin is difficult, and it went into the next door lady's | :20:52. | :21:01. | |
face. Like Julia Roberts! Miranda claims that she hugged a post box | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
thinking it was your boyfriend. had had a little bit of wind. But | :21:07. | :21:15. | |
my boyfriend had a red jumper on. Careful! It was Matt Baker! | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
thought rapper Kanye West was a tube stop. You stood up in a job | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
interview only to find you weren't wearing a skirt. | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
No, wait! I was wearing something! Mile long skirt got caught under | :21:33. | :21:38. | |
the wheels of the chair and as I stood up, my skirt went down. I was | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
wearing tights at least. With spotty pants. We use sign it for my | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
wife? The yes. -- will you sign it? Miranda's book is written as a sort | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
of letter to her 18-year-old self. So we asked our friends and family | :21:57. | :22:03. | |
here at the One Show what they'd say to themselves, aged 18. The one | :22:03. | :22:10. | |
piece of advice I would give my 18- year-old person is that it is great | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
to be individual, it does not matter if you are in the cool group. | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
Life is not a race, it is a stroll. If you make a mistake, pick | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
yourself up and don't beat yourself up. What would surprise me at 18 is | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
the fact I have three daughters and one son, and I think I would have | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:45. | ||
If I met my 18-year-old self I would say to him, you will never | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
believe this but one day you will be a grandfather, and a grandfather | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
five times over! You will have five grandchildren and you will love | :22:55. | :23:05. | |
:23:05. | :23:07. | ||
I would tell my 18-year-old self, don't panic, you will be all right. | :23:07. | :23:17. | |
:23:17. | :23:19. | ||
In four years you will get an Please do not worry any more | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
because within a decade, something will have been invented which will | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
increase your quality of life by 80% and allow you to blend into | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
normal society. Within ten years, hair straight and as we have been | :23:32. | :23:41. | |
invented. -- straight in there! Will have been invented. It would | :23:41. | :23:44. | |
have shocked me to think I would have four at children and be | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
married for 18 years to one man! The thing that I would be most | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
amazed by it is the fact I have travelled around the world, too | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
weird and wonderful and wild places, where bandits have been after me, | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
and I have seen the most fantastic plants, and I would not have | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
believed that was possible. I would not have believed I could find a | :24:14. | :24:18. | |
job where come Sunday evening, I would be excited about going to | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
work. One piece of advice I would give to myself is, don't stress | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
about mathematics at school! Don't worry about over-achieving! Spend | :24:30. | :24:35. | |
more time outside climbing trees. The problem is that my 18-year-old | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
self would not be listening to me. He would say, you haven't got | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
anything to tell me, Altman. Maybe if I had had that advice I would | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
not have made so many mistakes. And boy, there is a lot! Mike Dilger | :24:50. | :25:00. | |
:25:00. | :25:06. | ||
looked like Harry from the McFly! Anne, what would you say? I wrote a | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
chapter, a page of the book we were asked to do about four years ago, | :25:12. | :25:17. | |
something Elton John was involved in for a charity, I think it was | :25:17. | :25:22. | |
Aids, and I said you have got to believe in yourself and you have | :25:22. | :25:28. | |
got to lose weight, advice I never took! I can't remember now. I took | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
I said you have got to go for things and not be afraid. And she | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
lived by that. Not at the time but I do now! But that came quite late. | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
You're in The Last Tango in Halifax. Everyone's talking about it but for | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
those few people who haven't tuned in... It is based on a true story? | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
Yes. Sally Wainwright's mother, fell in love with somebody she knew | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
at school in later life. She had this idea for this series. | :26:06. | :26:13. | |
really is wonderful to. I love it. Derek Jacobi and died get to do | :26:13. | :26:22. | |
some jiving. -- And I. He is the most wonderful dancer! Wonderful. | :26:23. | :26:32. | |
:26:33. | :26:33. | ||
So I said, please can we jive and Salim wrote it in. | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
The relationship between yours and Derek Jacobi's characters is very | :26:35. | :26:45. | |
:26:45. | :26:53. | ||
We escaped. We did! We keep having adventures. We do! I did not have | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
any adventures until I met you! is you that gets us into these | :26:58. | :27:08. | |
:27:08. | :27:14. | ||
It is so tender. All sorts going on around you. It is so well written. | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
I love that the family, it is all about family. I have known several | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
Lancashire since she was little and I knew her father so that was nice | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
when I got to play her mother, and Nicola Walker is wonderful. It is a | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
really good cast. It is a joy. Thank you, who would is looking | :27:35. | :27:43. | |
after my career, thank you very much -- whoever up there. Derek | :27:43. | :27:50. | |
Jacobi does not asked me to call him sir! But he has not been the | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
only man you have had a tangle with! Let's see the moment she | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
kissed Daniel Craig. I like being with you so much. | :28:01. | :28:11. | |
:28:11. | :28:14. | ||
I have got you! I am not used to You went in for a second one there! | :28:14. | :28:22. | |
No, I didn't! All of the ladies at home, including myself and Miranda, | :28:22. | :28:30. | |
of wondering what he was like to kiss. Awful! LAST de. He is | :28:30. | :28:40. | |
:28:40. | :28:42. | ||
gorgeous! -- LAUGHTER. Did you have to do several takes? No. I did not | :28:42. | :28:46. | |
know who he was when I heard he was going to play the part because I | :28:46. | :28:50. | |
had not seen a friends and the North, and then I phoned a friend | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
of mine and I said have you heard of an actor called Daniel Craig, | :28:55. | :29:00. | |
and I heard a faint at the end of the phone and I realised her 60 he | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
was! He was lovely to work with, very, very nice -- I realised how | :29:05. | :29:11. | |
cautious he was! There was a quote that Angelina Jolie said that | :29:11. | :29:16. | |
Daniel was the best kisser of any actor she had ever experienced, | :29:16. | :29:24. | |
apart from Brad Pitt I am sure. am bored of this, can we moved on? | :29:24. | :29:32. | |
Let's move on! As we said, it is the 12th of the 12th of the 12th | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
and there you we spoke to Jessica. We wanted to fight another 11 | :29:35. | :29:45. | |
:29:45. | :29:47. | ||
people having their 12th birthday That's Emma Mitchell. Happy | :29:47. | :29:54. | |
birthday. Ben jam main is 12 today. Lovely from nanny and grandad. -- | :29:54. | :30:03. | |
Benjamin is 12 today. Love from nanny and grandad. There is Sarah | :30:03. | :30:08. | |
Maguire. This is Tristram Simpson. Lauren. Happy birthday. From caim | :30:08. | :30:15. | |
bridgeshire. -- Cambridgeshire. There's not long to go until | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
Christmas Eve, so children, if you haven't already, you should write a | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
note to Santa and post it to the North Pole. If you've been good he | :30:23. | :30:31. | |
might just write back. I never got a letter from Father Christmas, but | :30:31. | :30:34. | |
this is the tale of some lucky children who did. All the way from | :30:34. | :30:44. | |
:30:44. | :30:46. | ||
the North Pole. A fabulous land. The antics of Father Christmas's | :30:46. | :30:51. | |
accident-prone assistant, the north polar bear. They were forwarded | :30:51. | :30:57. | |
from Father Christmas by one of the great story tellers of the 20th | :30:57. | :31:01. | |
century. JRR Tolkien. He sent the first to his three-year-old son, | :31:01. | :31:09. | |
John, in 1920. Fresh letters kept coming year after year to Michael | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
and Christopher and Priscilla. give you a snapshot of everything | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
that Tolkien really became fame -- famous for later on. The children | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
adored the letters, even when they were much older and the delightful | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
thing about them was that over the course of 20-something years, you | :31:27. | :31:32. | |
got a whole series of stories and characters that children got to | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
love and they would look forward to Christmas, because they would want | :31:35. | :31:41. | |
to know what antics they'd been up to. Tolkien was professor of Anglo | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
Saxon in Oxford. His students couldn't believe where he held some | :31:44. | :31:50. | |
of his lessons. This was the local not only of Tolkien, but of his | :31:50. | :31:56. | |
good friend, CS Lewis. The creators of Middle Earth and Narnia would | :31:56. | :32:04. | |
meet here every Tuesday for a point. -- pint. They called themselves the | :32:04. | :32:09. | |
Inklings. They talked about feology and literature. Sometimes Tolkien | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
would read from a new book he was writing, called the Lord of the | :32:13. | :32:17. | |
Rings. If you had been in the pub one day in 1944 you might have seen | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
him teaching a group of undergraduates, including one who | :32:21. | :32:26. | |
would go on to achieve celebrity, the actor Robert Hardy. What was he | :32:26. | :32:35. | |
like, professor Tolkien? Lovely. He was gentle and funny. He had a | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
rugged face, rather Scandinavian I used to think. Very much a family | :32:39. | :32:45. | |
man. Would you say he was eccentric? I wouldn't say that. He | :32:45. | :32:52. | |
wasn't like most other dons, but the best of the Dons weren't like | :32:52. | :32:57. | |
the run. They was gentle and he lined up beer for us all. That was | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
part of the lesson. We weren't asked to pay. What do you do with | :33:02. | :33:09. | |
historic letters from father Chris imagine? -- father Chris imagine? | :33:09. | :33:12. | |
The family donated them to the library here. There are 11 million | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
books and documents, so you can understand why the letters are not | :33:16. | :33:24. | |
on display, but you and I have been offered a special Christmas viewing. | :33:24. | :33:29. | |
For 23 years, the Christmases in the Tolkien household were made | :33:29. | :33:33. | |
very special, unique in fact. There's always the slapstick | :33:33. | :33:37. | |
element to the stories that get told. Tolkien loved fireworks and | :33:37. | :33:46. | |
he often took the children to see displays In one letter Father | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
Christmas said he had a bonfire to please the polar bear and celebrate | :33:50. | :33:57. | |
the coming in of winter. Snow elves let off all the rockets together. | :33:57. | :34:05. | |
It's quite poignant to see here in 1943 the lovely letter for | :34:05. | :34:10. | |
Priscilla who is 14 years old. Father Christmas writes in the | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
shaky hand, "A very happy Christmas and I suppose you'll be hanging up | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
your stocking just once more. I hope so because I still have a few | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
little things for you and after this I will have to say goodbye | :34:21. | :34:27. | |
more or less. I mean, I shall not forget you." That is touching. | :34:27. | :34:32. | |
Really touching. He must have felt a little pang as he wrote that. | :34:32. | :34:37. | |
Four very lucky children to have had Father Christmas write to them | :34:37. | :34:42. | |
in person. As for me, still nothing. Come on, Santa, you know, an e-mail | :34:42. | :34:50. | |
maybe, a text, a tweet, Facebook, anything! Well, Arthur is with us | :34:50. | :34:55. | |
now. Tonight, it's the premiere of the Hobbit. We are not there. | :34:55. | :35:00. | |
can't believe it's on tonight. Very inconvenient. There we are. We can | :35:00. | :35:04. | |
see some people there. It's happening. There is Martin Freeman. | :35:04. | :35:11. | |
And Cate Blanchett there. Stop there. Tolkien spent lots of time | :35:11. | :35:14. | |
posting the letters from Santa back to his children. Lots of people say | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
that he wrote the Hobbit especially for his children, but it was a bit | :35:18. | :35:21. | |
more than that? He did write it with the children in mind and they | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
used to love it as well and he discussed Middle Earth with them, | :35:25. | :35:28. | |
but he put a lot of time in. He wanted to get it published and | :35:28. | :35:34. | |
spent years writing it and brought all the academic rigour that he had, | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
because he was a very important academic to the writing of it. He | :35:38. | :35:42. | |
was mad keen to get it published. I think he was pretty pleased when he | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
did. The children were quite involved in the process? He used to | :35:46. | :35:50. | |
discuss it with them. The child, Christopher, the youngest, when he | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
was in hospital, Tolkien gave him a penny for every mistake he could | :35:54. | :36:00. | |
see in the proof, which was rather sweet. Good way of making cash. How | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
wrapped up in it was Taliban kin? He was completely consumed. He was | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
a very hard worker. He was works as an academic and teaching Medieval | :36:10. | :36:14. | |
English and discussing myths and things, but if he had an idea about | :36:15. | :36:17. | |
the Hobbit he would write it down on anything he came across, which | :36:17. | :36:23. | |
meant sometimes he wrote it on people's exam papers. It would be | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
great to have now. It would be worth money now. It's not a massive | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
book, so how on earth has Peter Jackson managed to make three, | :36:32. | :36:37. | |
three-hour films? You better ask him. He's done well. He used the | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
appendix right at the end as the main part of one and he may yet do | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
more, because there's still more of Tolkien's works that are | :36:47. | :36:51. | |
unpublished. There's the book that he wrote between the Hobbit and | :36:51. | :36:55. | |
Lord of the Rings, so who knows. There may be hundreds of films | :36:55. | :37:02. | |
of people out there will be hoping he does. Now, Miranda was in a sci- | :37:02. | :37:10. | |
fi series called Hyperdrive. There you are. You do look very Hobbit- | :37:10. | :37:15. | |
like. Obviously quite tall. Very long. If they put the shoes on your | :37:15. | :37:18. | |
knees you could be in the Hobbit. What do you make of that? Thank | :37:19. | :37:28. | |
:37:29. | :37:32. | ||
you! Sorry! Do come on our show, you look like a Hobbit, by the way! | :37:32. | :37:41. | |
Look! OK. London might be crawlling with Hollywood stars waiting to | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
watch the premiere, but what about the fans? Well, yes, we are joined | :37:47. | :37:52. | |
by three superfans tonight. Whoever can convince Arthur that they are | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
truly in love with the Hobbit they will win themselves a prize. | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
Incredible. Arthur, you will give the winner this. Tell us what it is. | :38:03. | :38:07. | |
Well, this is the entire Hobbit written down on a very large piece | :38:07. | :38:15. | |
of paper. It's a bit bigger than an iPad. It's a good reaction from | :38:15. | :38:25. | |
:38:25. | :38:28. | ||
them. They are very excited about that. First up we have Maddy. It's | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
time to start Tolkien. When my twin boys were a year old I took a | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
college course in childcare. One of the modules we had to do was make a | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
toy. I designed and built an entire replica of the Bag End which they | :38:44. | :38:49. | |
lived in. I built everything from the frame out of wood and all the | :38:49. | :38:55. | |
furniture and the food. It took me 11 months. It now tours around in | :38:55. | :39:01. | |
Australia with the Proudfoot Foundation who support children's | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
literacy. I'm a huge Tolkien fan and I'm a superfan. It's a very | :39:04. | :39:10. | |
good pitch. You worked so hard there. I have to hear the other two, | :39:11. | :39:17. | |
come on. Jacob is next. So, when I was 12 I was a massive fan of the | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
Hobbit and I fancied this girl in my class, so I thought I would | :39:22. | :39:28. | |
learn some Elvish and ask her out and recite this poem. Don't tell us | :39:28. | :39:38. | |
:39:38. | :39:42. | ||
you have this here? I do. (He speaks in Elvish ) Could the girl | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
speak it as well? Unfortunately she didn't. I had to explain the poem | :39:47. | :39:54. | |
to her after. Did she fall in love with you? Unfortunately, she said | :39:54. | :40:03. | |
no. Do you still love her? I don't any more. It's a hard way to find | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
out that girls are not impressed by learning it. Maddy might have more | :40:07. | :40:15. | |
of an idea. What about Jamie now? I've been inspired by all the | :40:15. | :40:22. | |
armour and weapons from the films, so I've made this chainmail. There | :40:22. | :40:29. | |
are 22,000 metal rings. You made every single ring? No, I bought | :40:29. | :40:39. | |
:40:39. | :40:39. | ||
them and connected them up with wires. I used to plier -- plyers. | :40:39. | :40:45. | |
Does it fit you? Yeah. You have Hobbit parties, don't you? We had | :40:45. | :40:51. | |
one last Monday. Any plans to make the trousers? Maybe. So we have | :40:51. | :40:56. | |
Jamie who made the outfit and Jacob who learnt Elvish and Maddy who | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
built Middle Earth in her livingroom. Well, I like Jamie's | :41:00. | :41:06. | |
effort, but I think it will go rusty and I think Elvish Presley | :41:06. | :41:13. | |
there in the middle, he wasn't doing it out of love for Tolkien, | :41:13. | :41:23. | |
:41:23. | :41:26. | ||
but I'm giving it to Maddy. APPLAUSE | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
Brilliant. Now, freezing fog has been sweeping the country today. | :41:33. | :41:43. | |
Cue fog. Making even the smallest journey pretty miserable. During | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
the Second World War, thousands of troops had to travel in much worse | :41:47. | :41:51. | |
conditions over much longer distances. John Sergeant has been | :41:51. | :42:00. | |
finding out about the Arctic convoy. Asthma! All around the shores of | :42:01. | :42:05. | |
loch Ewe in the far north-west of Scotland lie a series of decaying | :42:05. | :42:12. | |
concrete gunning placements. These are now the focus of a campaign to | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
commemorate one of the most brutal missions of the Second World War. | :42:17. | :42:26. | |
It's so quiet and peaceful, but 70 years ago this loch was busy with | :42:26. | :42:33. | |
military activity. This was the secret base for the Arctic convoys. | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
The allies could only get vital supplies into the northern Russian | :42:37. | :42:43. | |
ports by sea. This loch was where the convoys assembled. Jackie | :42:43. | :42:50. | |
brooks is leading the campaign for a dedicated Arctic convoy museum. | :42:50. | :42:56. | |
Why did they choose this area? was just out of the flying range of | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
the germ non-aircraft and they thought the ships would go on this | :42:59. | :43:04. | |
route over to Russia. The merchant ships would assemble. Perhaps as | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
many as 50 and wait here for the escorts. Then they would leave to | :43:09. | :43:14. | |
go on what Churchill called the worst journey in the world. | :43:14. | :43:22. | |
Continues were atrocious. With towering seas and howling winds. | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
Freezing spray would accumulate as thick ice on the ship's rails and | :43:25. | :43:33. | |
decks. This rare colour film, shot by one of the ship's commanders, | :43:33. | :43:40. | |
Captain John Litchfield, shows the extreme conditions endured by the | :43:40. | :43:50. | |
:43:50. | :43:59. | ||
men who were on the ships and the As if battling the element wasn't | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
enough, the ships remained vulnerable to enany attack. If a | :44:05. | :44:13. | |
vest le -- vessel was torpedoed, how many minutes? Two minutes in | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
the water, that's as long as they could survive. The convoy ships | :44:17. | :44:20. | |
couldn't stop. They had to keep moving, so they couldn't pick | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
people up. Many of them perished in those waters in those circumstances. | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
What were the casualties? There were over 3,000 men who lost their | :44:29. | :44:36. | |
lives and over 100 ships that went down. At the mouth of the loch a | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
memorial stands to the behave sailors who lost their lives. It's | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
a sobering plays but for John and Donald, who were children when the | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
convoys gathered, the memories are of an exciting time. Some people | :44:49. | :44:55. | |
used to say that you thought you could walk across the loch to the | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
other side just over the ships. There were so many? That was not | :44:59. | :45:09. | |
:45:09. | :45:15. | ||
strictly true. There was probably Recently, this child's drawing of | :45:15. | :45:21. | |
the convoys came to light. It was made by John's cousin, Simon. How | :45:21. | :45:30. | |
all was he when he drew this? Four. It is a child's view of war. | :45:30. | :45:36. | |
Exactly. It was like a game for him. He did not realise. It wasn't | :45:36. | :45:42. | |
frightening, it was exciting. Absolutely. I knew about the | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
convoys but I did not know what they were all about. And how | :45:46. | :45:52. | |
important this area was in the war. Indeed. As well as a campaign for | :45:52. | :45:57. | |
an Arctic convoys museum here, there are also calls for a special | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
medal to be issued. In all for a handful of cases, the metal would | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
be awarded posthumously. -- the medals. | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
A wonderful pictures. As we mentioned earlier, call the | :46:13. | :46:20. | |
midnight... Call The Midwife! is called Call The Midwife! Yes! It | :46:20. | :46:26. | |
is on on Christmas Day. Here you are wet whipping the nativity play | :46:26. | :46:36. | |
:46:36. | :46:37. | ||
Where is your tea-towel? And my dad could not find it. Sheikh. Angels. | :46:37. | :46:47. | |
:46:47. | :46:51. | ||
I do not want any angels flapping their wings -- she sheep. Mess, | :46:51. | :46:58. | |
play. None of that until you get to the neighbour. Garry Schofield! I | :46:59. | :47:08. | |
:47:09. | :47:09. | ||
will demote you to a book! Wonderful. Did you think it would | :47:09. | :47:16. | |
be such a hit? No. You don't think about it going on air when you are | :47:16. | :47:22. | |
filming it. We all had a great time and the script was amazing and the | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
book and characters what existed before, so we knew it was brilliant | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
but you never know what is given to happen. What we could not believe | :47:31. | :47:36. | |
is that Anne, you narrated the audiobook? That is a strange | :47:36. | :47:43. | |
coincidence. The yes. Was there a character that you thought...? | :47:43. | :47:51. | |
There was one called Joe and I am playing this 80-year-old man, a | :47:51. | :47:56. | |
cockney man, doing an impersonation of his recruiting sergeant! | :47:56. | :48:06. | |
:48:06. | :48:08. | ||
Brilliant. Can you give us a burst? No! Anne! I can't remember any! | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
Miranda, I suppose you do not have the pressure of having to make | :48:11. | :48:16. | |
people laugh in Call The Midwife but doing a serious role must bring | :48:16. | :48:22. | |
its own challenges. Definitely. It was nice to do something different, | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
from in front of the audience to do something more vulnerable and | :48:26. | :48:32. | |
serious. It is very concentrated. It is nice not having the pressure | :48:32. | :48:38. | |
to get a laugh. Talking of that, you have an announcement to make. | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
You tell us. I am excited and nervous but I have decided I am | :48:44. | :48:53. | |
going to do a stand-up tour off. Very good. When! It starts on 20th | :48:53. | :48:58. | |
January 1920 14, so in one year. When Ken people buy tickets? From | :48:58. | :49:05. | |
Monday morning. -- When can people buy tickets. It starts on 20th | :49:05. | :49:12. | |
January, 2014. So please come and see me! And I have started doing | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
cabaret. I have just done it for the first time and I loved it. | :49:16. | :49:22. | |
Really! You are more excited about poorer than I am because you are in | :49:22. | :49:32. | |
:49:32. | :49:35. | ||
it. Yes! -- Poirot. I could not get his name out right. I told him, I | :49:36. | :49:42. | |
said I feel like a woman who has won a competition! Is it the last | :49:42. | :49:50. | |
ever? You S. And I have watched them for years, over and over again. | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
I thought, I should not be sitting here. Tremendous. We cannot wait to | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
see that. Time for our second slapstick student to try their | :49:59. | :50:09. | |
:50:09. | :50:13. | ||
hands at some creative falling over. Hamas. -- Hannah. You have to | :50:13. | :50:19. | |
recreate this falling over from this clip so watch closely. | :50:19. | :50:29. | |
:50:29. | :50:44. | ||
Is it is a tricky dismount. All the That was excellent. I have worked | :50:44. | :50:48. | |
out a variety of ways of falling off a chair and that is my | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
favourite, trying to stop yourself like a dog swimming. Did you have a | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
crash mat? Yes because the restaurant has wooden floors. I | :50:57. | :51:04. | |
thought that was excellent. She is winning so far. There is one more | :51:04. | :51:13. | |
to go! The pressure is on! Sister Wendy is now giving Phil | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
Tufnell another arts master class. I am not sure his strange animal | :51:18. | :51:21. | |
impressions path through are entirely appropriate but you can | :51:21. | :51:30. | |
judge that yourself. Normally, Sister Wendy shows me | :51:30. | :51:34. | |
great paintings but today she is showing me something different. | :51:34. | :51:39. | |
Stained glass became important in the 12th century when the windows | :51:39. | :51:43. | |
were meant to relate the stories of the lives of the saint's. Check | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
this winter in Christchurch Cathedral in Oxford depicting the | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
story of St Martin. People would have known that because of the | :51:50. | :51:55. | |
cloak, the sort and the beggar representing Christ. The medieval | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
congregation would have got it straight away. Today many of us | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
have lost the ability to read the symbols but I know somebody who | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
still can. I am meeting Sister Wendy at St Mary's Church in if | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
lead to explain the meanings in some more modern examples of | :52:12. | :52:22. | |
:52:22. | :52:23. | ||
This is the Don Piper windows. People may know him from that great | :52:23. | :52:29. | |
cascade of glowing glass, but this is his most beautiful window. It is | :52:29. | :52:33. | |
called the Nativity window. It is all based upon the tree of life, | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
can you see it? It does not look like a nativity scene. There is a | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
wonderful ought legend that on Christmas night, the animals can | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
You can understand why that is alleged and because they made such | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
a difference to the world. Everything changed. Right up at the | :52:53. | :53:03. | |
:53:03. | :53:07. | ||
top you have got the Cockle, saying, in Latin. And that means "Christ is | :53:07. | :53:17. | |
:53:17. | :53:20. | ||
born". And then the goose says "when? When?". I cannot do the | :53:20. | :53:30. | |
:53:30. | :53:32. | ||
noises. And then, the Raven says "on this night". That is very good! | :53:32. | :53:42. | |
:53:42. | :53:42. | ||
And then the owl says "where?". And that is answered by the sheep that | :53:42. | :53:52. | |
:53:52. | :53:53. | ||
says "Bethlehem". So they are all having a conversation. Yes, and | :53:53. | :53:59. | |
they are announcing it to the world. They Cockle is having a good time | :53:59. | :54:07. | |
at the top. The because he has got the big message. Christ is born. | :54:07. | :54:17. | |
:54:17. | :54:21. | ||
Sister Wendy's next choice is the This is the death of Christ, when | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
the tree of life came to its fullest flowering because you can | :54:25. | :54:34. | |
They used to call the crossed the tree, but it is literally a tree, | :54:34. | :54:40. | |
that has burst into beautiful blossom, and so it is Jesus dying | :54:40. | :54:45. | |
for us and giving us life and also rising because this is full of joy, | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
it is not a picture of suffering. It is almost like it is bursting | :54:49. | :54:55. | |
into life. Yes, it is a good thing. And underneath the sheep, they | :54:55. | :55:00. | |
represent us. And then the great river of life love and very | :55:00. | :55:06. | |
strongly from the tree. The it feels alive. It is. That is why | :55:07. | :55:13. | |
light is the symbol of God. It comes through and shows us clearly | :55:13. | :55:21. | |
no meaning and the beauty of creation and redemption. It all | :55:21. | :55:28. | |
speak so strongly of living, living a life, as I do, a life that wants | :55:28. | :55:36. | |
to be close to Christ. It overwhelms me. Words really aren't | :55:36. | :55:46. | |
:55:46. | :55:51. | ||
There you have it. All the animal noises from Phil Tufnell. Our final | :55:51. | :55:56. | |
slapstick student is Alex. By overweight, Miranda, your website | :55:56. | :56:03. | |
has just crashed -- by the way, Miranda. Are you serious? That is | :56:03. | :56:10. | |
both bad and good! They have until 2014, no rush! Alex, here is your | :56:10. | :56:20. | |
:56:20. | :56:28. | ||
APPLAUSE That is the ultimate fall. Any words of advice for Alex? | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
would say this is the hardest but it is all about the flip back | :56:32. | :56:42. | |
:56:42. | :56:51. | ||
Very good. He did the fall would panic, you need to go back and then | :56:51. | :57:01. | |
:57:01. | :57:05. | ||
You need to lean back and then go. Miranda, it is time to crown the | :57:05. | :57:10. | |
winner. A our falling winner is, I was going to say it misses the | :57:10. | :57:20. | |
:57:20. | :57:26. | ||
chair but that sums wrong! Do we have 12 12-year-olds? Hannah Stool! | :57:26. | :57:36. | |
:57:36. | :57:37. | ||
At the beginning of the programme we said, is it possible to get 12, | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
12-year-olds on the 12th of the 12th? Hopefully we have. I think we | :57:40. | :57:50. | |
:57:50. | :58:03. | ||
Marco Siilva! Abigail MacArthur! Caitlin Bugg! Daisy May Allen! Two | :58:03. | :58:13. | |
:58:13. | :58:15. | ||
more? This is brilliant, we needed two and we have got twins! No! | :58:15. | :58:23. | |
and Mauvin. This was sent in by mum and this was by grand mal. That | :58:23. | :58:27. | |
could be cheating and that could be the same girl. Happy birthday to | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
everybody who was 12 today and we have had lots of them in. | :58:31. | :58:38. | |
