0:00:32 > 0:00:37Hello, friends, and thanks for tuning in to your first Friday One
0:00:37 > 0:00:41Show of the year with Louise Minchin. And Chris Evans. Tonight
0:00:41 > 0:00:44we're celebrating a TV phenomenon that ran for over 30 years. It was
0:00:44 > 0:00:49the show that launched the careers of Les Dawson, Little and Large,
0:00:49 > 0:00:51Pam Ayers, and Frank Carson, to name a few. We're talking about
0:00:52 > 0:00:55Opportunity Knocks, folks, and tonight we'll be giving some of the
0:00:55 > 0:00:58show's winners the chance to remind the nation why we fell in love with
0:00:58 > 0:01:08them, all those years ago in what we're calling Opportunity Knocks
0:01:08 > 0:01:13
0:01:13 > 0:01:20Again. Have they still got it? We shall find out presently. Oh, my
0:01:20 > 0:01:27goodness made. It is Martin Freeman and Ray Winstone! How are you?
0:01:27 > 0:01:32evening, gentlemen. You have Louise this evening, is that OK? A bit
0:01:32 > 0:01:39more than OK! Big fan of Opportunity Knocks? I am old enough
0:01:39 > 0:01:45to remember the old ones! It is scary. So can I and I am not that
0:01:45 > 0:01:55old. You are that old. Did you ever those on the postcard? I was too
0:01:55 > 0:01:55
0:01:55 > 0:02:01young. Do you remember Bernie Flint? I remember, I know his hit.
0:02:01 > 0:02:08You are 40, and you? Never you mind, none of your business! You have the
0:02:08 > 0:02:18same birthday as Louise. September? Louise has 43! Thanks,
0:02:18 > 0:02:19
0:02:19 > 0:02:25Chris! Ray is 54! Our director is 63! I am 45. Are you?! You have
0:02:25 > 0:02:31done such a lot. You have worked together before. Yes, briefly.
0:02:31 > 0:02:39Breaking And Entering. Was it any good? I think it was really good.
0:02:39 > 0:02:43Shall we have a look? Why not? I'm just saying, fabulous building,
0:02:43 > 0:02:48I think it is brilliant. Thank you. Did you have these great with the
0:02:48 > 0:02:55villains? I would not say it was a scrape. I was running late for the
0:02:55 > 0:03:00first break in and was not prepared for the second. Did you play a
0:03:00 > 0:03:05villain? BELL RINGS, I was a policeman. The
0:03:05 > 0:03:10beards looked good! Was that a false beard? That was my own,
0:03:10 > 0:03:16three-man's own. I did not think you were able to grow one. I was
0:03:16 > 0:03:18able to from 32 onwards. These in the part all evening, we will be
0:03:18 > 0:03:24getting or Shylock with Martin and talking to Ray about some fantastic
0:03:24 > 0:03:27work he is doing with some men and women from the armed forces.
0:03:27 > 0:03:31Talking of those brethren, a Second World War pilot has hit the
0:03:31 > 0:03:35headlines after he tried and failed to sit in the cockpit of a Spitfire
0:03:35 > 0:03:39for the first time in years after a mix-up at a museum. We couldn't
0:03:39 > 0:03:43allow Eric Carter, who survived battles with the enemy of the
0:03:43 > 0:03:48frozen skies of Russia, to fail in his latest mission. So we sent Wing
0:03:48 > 0:03:58Commander John Sergeant and gave him the Order To Get Carter back in
0:03:58 > 0:04:02
0:04:02 > 0:04:06Eric Carter was trained to fly these aircraft in Wales, and his
0:04:06 > 0:04:16first major assignment was to the northern Russian port of Murmansk,
0:04:16 > 0:04:21
0:04:21 > 0:04:27and that mission is still Why did you go to Russia? It was a
0:04:27 > 0:04:31hard time for Russia. We were sent to keep Murmansk Open at all costs.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36The port of Murmansk allowed a military supplies into Russia, so
0:04:36 > 0:04:40protecting it from germ attack was vital. When you were flying the
0:04:40 > 0:04:44Hurricane, were you frightened? I cannot say I was ever frightened,
0:04:44 > 0:04:48you were so busy looking for Germans on your tail. He did not
0:04:48 > 0:04:53have time to be frightened. And you were young, you thought you were
0:04:53 > 0:04:58immortal. I was 20, I did not know what frightened was. I do not want
0:04:58 > 0:05:02to show off, but these are my medals. Absolutely! What have we
0:05:02 > 0:05:07got here? These are Russian metals. And their work has not been
0:05:07 > 0:05:12forgotten in Russia. The heroic deeds of the British servicemen and
0:05:12 > 0:05:20the help that was delivered to the Red Army during World War II will
0:05:20 > 0:05:24always be remembered, and in our hearts and in our minds. Eric also
0:05:24 > 0:05:31managed to fit in time to sort out his private life. When you're
0:05:31 > 0:05:35training on these Hurricanes, you met your wife, didn't you? I did
0:05:35 > 0:05:41indeed, a very beautiful girl. We were married for 62 years. I gather
0:05:41 > 0:05:48your honeymoon was truncated. gave me 48 hours to get married. My
0:05:48 > 0:05:54honeymoon was at Swindon. The railway shunting yards. I had 24
0:05:54 > 0:05:58hours in a hotel there, that was my honeymoon. After the mission ended,
0:05:58 > 0:06:04Eric was sent back to the UK and was trained to fly a different
0:06:04 > 0:06:08fighter plane, the Spitfire. If you want to fight, I would prefer the
0:06:08 > 0:06:18Spitfire. It is faster, more manoeuvrable. It was a grand
0:06:18 > 0:06:20
0:06:20 > 0:06:24It is more than 60 years since Eric had to be ready to race across an
0:06:24 > 0:06:28airfield and jump into the cockpit of one of these marvellous machines.
0:06:28 > 0:06:34Now, finally, after all these years, he has got the chance to relive
0:06:34 > 0:06:40that moment. Well, there she is. What do I think, seeing the
0:06:40 > 0:06:49Spitfire? It is absolutely beautiful. Let me help. OK, now
0:06:49 > 0:06:54then, one foot up here. Well done! You are there. Start it up, I will
0:06:54 > 0:07:00be all right! It brings back good memories. It brings back sad
0:07:00 > 0:07:07memories, yes, it does. I lost a good many of my very close friends,
0:07:07 > 0:07:11but it also brings back happy memories when we got the chance to
0:07:11 > 0:07:16do a bit of dog fighting between ourselves. Do you reckon you could
0:07:16 > 0:07:26fly it if I started the engine? reckon it could, if a German was
0:07:26 > 0:07:29
0:07:29 > 0:07:32And Eric is back in our seat! Well done, Mr Eric Carter. Thank you to
0:07:33 > 0:07:38everyone who helped out with the film. Before we talk about your
0:07:38 > 0:07:45friends here, you like old planes, don't you? I do, I have been lucky
0:07:45 > 0:07:49enough to fly a Spitfire. I have got a great mate Bill is one of the
0:07:49 > 0:07:54top aerial photographers in the world. He knows people who know
0:07:54 > 0:08:03people, and that that is very close to where I live, so I got a chance
0:08:03 > 0:08:08to fly in a Spitfire and a Mustangs. Not literally fly them on my own!
0:08:08 > 0:08:13There You are in one. Triumphant on the wing! I just shot three then.
0:08:13 > 0:08:19You are ready for action. pilot! You are working with wounded
0:08:19 > 0:08:23and injured service personnel. have got involved with it, and from
0:08:24 > 0:08:28an a la time, going to Camp Bastion and Selly Oak Hospital, it is the
0:08:28 > 0:08:34mentality of the British hospital. You see these kids will have lost
0:08:34 > 0:08:38their arms and legs through bombs. The doctors always ask, do not ask
0:08:38 > 0:08:42how it happened. But it is the first thing that you want to know.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45It keeps you interested when you meet the families, the bravery of
0:08:45 > 0:08:49the families being confronted with this. Then you go down to where
0:08:49 > 0:08:55they are rehabilitating, someone came up with the idea of putting on
0:08:55 > 0:08:58a show. It is that mentality... There's not a lot of difference
0:08:58 > 0:09:04between discipline in the army and the discipline in the theatre. It
0:09:04 > 0:09:10is more or less the same thing. you have sort of Done It Ain't half
0:09:10 > 0:09:14Hot mum for therapy, haven't you? turned up and saw the skies when we
0:09:14 > 0:09:20were recruiting, to do a play. You can imagine, these hairy asked
0:09:20 > 0:09:26soldiers coming into the theatre. I kind of went along and said, the
0:09:26 > 0:09:31equivalent in a way, working-class boy... Device where? Sorry! We will
0:09:31 > 0:09:35allow it, it is for a good cause. The fear in their eyes. If you have
0:09:35 > 0:09:41been on patrol in Helmand province, I do not think anything else is
0:09:41 > 0:09:47going to scare you as much as that. Ask them about it. You SED change
0:09:48 > 0:09:52in and now, it is fantastic. -- you can see. You play the lead in the
0:09:52 > 0:09:57play, what is it called? It is called The Two Worlds Of Charlie F.
0:09:57 > 0:10:03It is about military service? about injuries, realising you have
0:10:04 > 0:10:11been injured, and then carrying on from there. What happens to you?
0:10:11 > 0:10:15was too close to something which went bang. It took this leg clear
0:10:15 > 0:10:19off, and I have a couple of really good scars which women are
0:10:19 > 0:10:25attracted to! I am impressed because you make it sound like it
0:10:25 > 0:10:32is nothing, but to the rest of us it is a lot more than nothing.
0:10:33 > 0:10:37were in the Royal Marines, of course. Where were you? I was
0:10:37 > 0:10:44winded in Afghanistan as well, which was good fun. And you like to
0:10:44 > 0:10:49chat. It comes from my surname... My mum... You have been through
0:10:49 > 0:10:55enough! I went through enough with my name let alone getting blown up.
0:10:55 > 0:11:00As working with Ray been therapeutic? Absolutely. Well,
0:11:00 > 0:11:05everybody here is in the same boat. You know, you can talk to any of
0:11:05 > 0:11:08them, and it doesn't matter. We have gone through, from the very
0:11:08 > 0:11:13beginning, all the way through two things that we have not told anyone,
0:11:13 > 0:11:16and this is with the writer, Owen Sheers, and we have gone through
0:11:16 > 0:11:22everything, and it is good to get it out. It is good to get it out.
0:11:22 > 0:11:25This is the first time the MoD has used it. Did they call you? Yes,
0:11:26 > 0:11:29they got in touch with me along with the Royal British Legion. They
0:11:29 > 0:11:36explained what their ideas were, and I was only too pleased to get
0:11:36 > 0:11:42involved. But are they any good? can't tell you! Are they through to
0:11:42 > 0:11:46the next round? If I can do it, anyone can! Beyond that, we were
0:11:46 > 0:11:50talking about the therapy of it, the change that to see in these
0:11:50 > 0:11:54boys, the confidence to walk into a room now. When you are hit with
0:11:54 > 0:11:58something like that, I guess your confidence goes off, is that the
0:11:58 > 0:12:02first thing that goes? Getting that back, if you can do that through
0:12:02 > 0:12:06theatre or anything like it, it should be done more. It is going to
0:12:06 > 0:12:11be on in the West End. Can you speak for everybody? Will you be
0:12:11 > 0:12:18nervous? There are a couple of words I was taught not to use to
0:12:18 > 0:12:22describe... On this show! I am scared. I would rather be storming
0:12:22 > 0:12:28compounds! Getting on stage in front of a huge audience and like
0:12:28 > 0:12:35that... Let's hope you storm the West End. A round of applause,
0:12:35 > 0:12:38please. It is on the Haymarket Theatre stage, tickets are
0:12:38 > 0:12:44available, please go along, support the boys, you will have a great
0:12:44 > 0:12:49night, uplifting for all the right reasons. We are going to kick off
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Opportunity Knocks Again. If have we still got it? It sounds like
0:12:53 > 0:12:58they might have! Gyles will be telling us why the programme was
0:12:58 > 0:13:03such a phenomenon. But first Carrie Grant conjures up memories of 1971
0:13:03 > 0:13:07with an act which about the entire country. Neil Reid was only 12...
0:13:07 > 0:13:10Record always need a bit of luck to become hits, but the story of this
0:13:10 > 0:13:20song involved a very fortunate combination of time, television and
0:13:20 > 0:13:24talent. This is your Opportunity Knocks winners show! Long before
0:13:24 > 0:13:28the X-Factor came along, one of the first talent shows in the UK to use
0:13:28 > 0:13:35the power of the audience vote was Opportunity Knocks. You voted for
0:13:35 > 0:13:41him, from Bonnie Scotland, Neil Reid! Aged 12, Neil Reid was only a
0:13:41 > 0:13:45Vettel star, singing in northern clubs, when opportunity knocked was
0:13:45 > 0:13:50every act's ambition. I wrote away and waited for two and a half years
0:13:50 > 0:13:56before I got an answer. I did the audition, and on the audition they
0:13:56 > 0:14:00said, you on the show, this is the date. Neil won the vote to return
0:14:00 > 0:14:04on a show week after week. He was a phenomenon, but his biggest
0:14:04 > 0:14:12opportunity came out of the blue thanks to Bill Parkinson, the
0:14:12 > 0:14:17guitarist for Tom Jones. He sang a song, do you know it? Afterwards,
0:14:18 > 0:14:25it struck me that if I wrote a song about my mother, maybe Tom Woods in
0:14:25 > 0:14:32that. It said everything I want to do about my mother. Mother of mine,
0:14:32 > 0:14:36you gave to me all of my life to do as I please. I'll everything to you.
0:14:36 > 0:14:41Fantastic song. I cannot mean fantastic for me, but fantastic for
0:14:41 > 0:14:46me to be able to say that to mother. His mother love the song and she
0:14:46 > 0:14:55was not alone. It also reached the ears of Neil Reid's manager,
0:14:55 > 0:14:59perfect for the little boy on I sang it in week four and the
0:14:59 > 0:15:05single was released that week. shot up the charts, selling 2.5
0:15:05 > 0:15:14million copies worldwide. Describe life after Opportunity Knocks.
0:15:14 > 0:15:17could not go out in public because people knew, instantly, who I was.
0:15:17 > 0:15:24And after the hit single came an album which made him the youngest
0:15:24 > 0:15:30artist ever to top the UK album charts. What I hated was people
0:15:30 > 0:15:34trying to keep me 12. That is what I hated. When I was 20 it did not
0:15:34 > 0:15:40work. I remember at one point I was doing the summer season and I
0:15:40 > 0:15:48thought, this is nuts. I don't want to do this. I am going to get out
0:15:48 > 0:15:52before it throws me out. He is now a business consultant. Mother of
0:15:52 > 0:15:56mind composer, Bill, is still writing and composing music. And
0:15:56 > 0:16:05this is the first time that two of them have met since the song was a
0:16:05 > 0:16:14hit. # Mother of mind, you gave to make
0:16:14 > 0:16:24# Wall of my life # To do as I pleased
0:16:24 > 0:16:31
0:16:31 > 0:16:37It took me under one hour to write it. It took me four minutes to sing
0:16:37 > 0:16:43it, OK. Because we did it in one take. That first one was what went
0:16:43 > 0:16:49out. Absolutely great. That is why it has that genuine, authentic feel,
0:16:49 > 0:16:55because it is sung from the heart. Looking back, it was just perfect
0:16:55 > 0:17:03for the moment. It was just right, the voice, the song, it was a
0:17:03 > 0:17:13Christmas and thumb. I also think it was something to last. Even the
0:17:13 > 0:17:25
0:17:25 > 0:17:30hardest of hard men loved their Let's hear it for Neil Reid.
0:17:30 > 0:17:34Welcome to Opportunity Knocks again. Have they still got it? Bringing
0:17:34 > 0:17:39back the stars who found fame on the show to prove to Martin and Ray
0:17:39 > 0:17:46Winstone that they still have what it takes to be a star. Louise is
0:17:46 > 0:17:52backstage getting them ready, but first, Gyles Brandreth. Why was
0:17:52 > 0:17:57this show is so huge? This was Britain's got talent, 1956 style.
0:17:57 > 0:18:0320 million people a week tuned in, hosted for 22 years on ITV by
0:18:03 > 0:18:06Hughie Green. He was Canadian and he came to this country and
0:18:06 > 0:18:10conquered the entertainment industry and he had this show. It
0:18:10 > 0:18:17then moved to the BBC in the late 1980s when it was first hosted by
0:18:17 > 0:18:19Bob Monkhouse and then finally by Les Dawson, who had been one of the
0:18:19 > 0:18:24great Opportunity Knocks discoveries. What happened was this
0:18:24 > 0:18:29- he went along and you had a sponsor. I sponsored somebody in
0:18:29 > 0:18:331972. She is not appearing here tonight. You sponsored somebody and
0:18:33 > 0:18:40then the Act came on. If the audience liked it, they clapped.
0:18:40 > 0:18:45There was a clapometer. No judges. Just real people clapping and a man
0:18:45 > 0:18:51in the background fiddling with the knob. You mean it was not real?
0:18:51 > 0:18:54was like the Wizard of Oz behind a curtain. But what was for real,
0:18:54 > 0:18:58because Hughie Green always said the clapometer is just for fun,
0:18:58 > 0:19:04what was for real was that they had to send in a postcard in their own
0:19:04 > 0:19:07handwriting. You could not get anybody else to do it. You sent in
0:19:07 > 0:19:15a postcard and the person who got the most votes came back the next
0:19:15 > 0:19:20week. Some of these people became huge stars. Sit down and be another
0:19:20 > 0:19:24bad guests of honour, Gyles Brandreth. OK, it is time to meet
0:19:24 > 0:19:30our first contender, an impressionist from Manchester,
0:19:30 > 0:19:38Maxton Beesley, now 66. Let's look at him in 1971. The other day I

0:19:48 > 0:19:48
0:19:48 > 0:19:53the milkman. Two pipes, or not two pints, that is the question.
0:19:53 > 0:19:59Fantastic hair back then. It was great. I got to tour the world all
0:19:59 > 0:20:06over the place, including Australia. I used to be very big Down Under!
0:20:06 > 0:20:12Also America, I did Vegas. Not on stage, at Pizza Hut! It was
0:20:12 > 0:20:19exciting and I am just back from LA. We are going to ask you to perform,
0:20:19 > 0:20:27but you look a lot like Max Beesley. Do you know him? I do know him and
0:20:27 > 0:20:32I am working with him in Cape Town. He is your actual son. He is my son.
0:20:32 > 0:20:40We are ready. Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, Opportunity Knocks Again
0:20:40 > 0:20:46for Maxton G Beesley, but does he still have it? Thank you very much.

0:21:36 > 0:21:43Bronson. Hey, you. And the last one, Richard Burton in one word.
0:21:43 > 0:21:53Elizabeth. And you can't go away without doing this one. Maxton

0:21:57 > 0:22:07Lady Zenden Common. Time for our second contender, an opera singer,
0:22:07 > 0:22:09

0:22:19 > 0:22:22
0:22:22 > 0:22:27# Oh, Danny Boy, the pipes, the You were on twice. Yes, I think I
0:22:27 > 0:22:34was the only person who was on twice. 1972 was the first time and

0:22:44 > 0:22:54have to give you a note. Good luck. This is on, excellent. Tonight,

0:23:56 > 0:24:02Gentlemen, does she still have it? She has got it in bundles. More
0:24:02 > 0:24:07later. But now, Louise is back on the sofa with a story. This is a
0:24:07 > 0:24:10story that Dr Watson might find interesting. A real life crime that
0:24:11 > 0:24:15could have come out of Sherlock Holmes's' casebook. Ruth Goodman
0:24:15 > 0:24:19has been delving into the dastardly deeds of an infamous Victorian
0:24:20 > 0:24:26poison a. Victorian Britain had an unhealthy
0:24:26 > 0:24:30obsession with murder. In the mid- 1800s the newspapers were full of
0:24:30 > 0:24:37tales about women murdering their husbands. But ironically, the
0:24:37 > 0:24:40impetus for this murderous killing spree was a financial service. Life
0:24:40 > 0:24:46insurance policies were becoming widespread and for the first time,
0:24:46 > 0:24:51death could mean a big payout. They were designed to keep middle class
0:24:51 > 0:24:56families secured if the wage earner died. This historian has studied
0:24:56 > 0:25:01the effects the new policies had. Life insurance is considered to be
0:25:01 > 0:25:05one of the crowning achievements of Victorian civilisation. There is an
0:25:05 > 0:25:08aggressive expansion of the market. As far as life insurance is
0:25:08 > 0:25:13concerned, the typical payout would be thousands, even tens of
0:25:13 > 0:25:17thousands. The financial incentive for a husband's death proved too
0:25:17 > 0:25:21tempting to women who became known as Black Widows. Committing the
0:25:21 > 0:25:26perfect murder in Victorian Britain was not that difficult. Deadly
0:25:26 > 0:25:30poisons like arsenic were easily available. It was in the curtains,
0:25:30 > 0:25:36the candles in the home, the toys that children played with. There
0:25:36 > 0:25:39was an estimation that there were 100 million square miles of arsenic
0:25:39 > 0:25:44green wallpaper covering the nation's walls. It was everywhere
0:25:44 > 0:25:49and very easy to buy it. Also, its symptoms mimic some of the classic
0:25:49 > 0:25:54filth disease's symptoms which were commonplace, gastric conditions,
0:25:54 > 0:25:58diarrhoea and the like. Victorian graveyards began to fill with
0:25:58 > 0:26:03victims of the black widows and arsenic earned the nickname -
0:26:03 > 0:26:10inheritance powder. One woman in County Durham was the poster child
0:26:10 > 0:26:15for this lethal cocktail of money and murder. Her name was Mary Ann
0:26:15 > 0:26:19Cotton. For over 100 years she has been the Tories as the ultimate
0:26:19 > 0:26:23black widow life-insurance killer. She claimed payouts on the deaths
0:26:23 > 0:26:29of hunt -- husbands and children. This church was where her murderous
0:26:30 > 0:26:34trail finally came unstuck. In early 1872, her stepson, Charles,
0:26:34 > 0:26:39was exhumed from this graveyard. Five days before his death he had
0:26:39 > 0:26:45been turned away from the workhouse, seemingly fit and healthy. And in
0:26:45 > 0:26:51frustration, Mary-Ann Cotton had said to the overseer, he won't be
0:26:51 > 0:26:54troubling me long, he will go the way of all the others. Charles was
0:26:54 > 0:26:59the 12th of her children to die, as well as three husbands, a lover and
0:26:59 > 0:27:03her mother. Before even making burial arrangements, her first port
0:27:03 > 0:27:10of call was the insurance office. Like at least 11 of her dead
0:27:10 > 0:27:14relatives, Charles' death was insured. Dr Price is from Durham
0:27:14 > 0:27:17University and knows the story. How did she get caught? One of the
0:27:17 > 0:27:21doctors thought it was gastric fever but saved some of the
0:27:21 > 0:27:24internal organs to test. Eventually, he came to the conclusion that
0:27:24 > 0:27:27Charles had been poisoned by arsenic. This prompted the
0:27:27 > 0:27:33exhumation of some of the other bodies and they found evidence of
0:27:33 > 0:27:38arsenic poisoning. Mary Ann Cotton was put on trial, found guilty and
0:27:38 > 0:27:41hanged at Durham jail in 1873. After her death, parishioners
0:27:41 > 0:27:45raised the money for his stained glass window to recognise the
0:27:45 > 0:27:51doctor whose diligence ended her murderous career. How did she get
0:27:51 > 0:27:54away with it for so long? Infant mortality rates were high. It also
0:27:54 > 0:28:00helped that she moved around so there was no history of suspicion.
0:28:00 > 0:28:05She also did a lot of nursing and who would suspect a nurse? Life
0:28:05 > 0:28:08insurance was designed to protect bereaved families. In many cases,
0:28:08 > 0:28:14however, and spectacularly in this one, it achieved the opposite.
0:28:14 > 0:28:18Instead of protecting families, they were destroyed.
0:28:18 > 0:28:23We were all gripped by that. Ray Winstone particularly. You are
0:28:23 > 0:28:31aware of that lady. I saw that on the Discovery Channel, there was a
0:28:31 > 0:28:38story about it. Nasty woman! If you think she's nasty, she must be.
0:28:38 > 0:28:48am a saint. Martin, Sherlock, brilliant, back on the BBC. How
0:28:48 > 0:28:52
0:28:52 > 0:28:57would you describe their relationship? Their relationship,
0:28:57 > 0:29:01as has been said a lot, it is kind of a love story. It is two men who
0:29:01 > 0:29:04love each other and need each other and don't even necessarily want to
0:29:04 > 0:29:10need each other. They drive each other up a wall sometimes but they
0:29:10 > 0:29:16are absolutely two halves. Sunday, it took him a while, but he
0:29:16 > 0:29:20declared you were his only friend. He is a -- he is a lonely man. John
0:29:20 > 0:29:25Watson is back from Afghanistan, as in the original books. He comes
0:29:25 > 0:29:29back and finds himself with nothing and nobody. And Sherlock is a loner.
0:29:29 > 0:29:33They find each other in the middle of this city and they complement
0:29:33 > 0:29:38each other very well. They each bring something to the relationship.
0:29:38 > 0:29:45How do you get on with Benedict Cumberbatch? What is that
0:29:45 > 0:29:49relationship like? It is not great! No, it is good, thank God. Very
0:29:49 > 0:29:54good. It was clear from the moment we met and started reading together.
0:29:54 > 0:29:59It was good, easy. It is good luck. It is luck whether you have a
0:29:59 > 0:30:04chemistry with someone. You can work at it, but it will never be
0:30:04 > 0:30:11the way that it is if you have chemistry. Last week was the Hound
0:30:11 > 0:30:21Of the Baskervilles. This week? Reichenbach Fall. Moriarty comes
0:30:21 > 0:30:22
0:30:22 > 0:30:27back into the story. Their peers. - - there he is. He is even more
0:30:27 > 0:30:37brilliant in this episode than he has been so far. We are going to
0:30:37 > 0:30:37
0:30:37 > 0:30:47show a clip. Is this the bit where they have an argument? OK. You give
0:30:47 > 0:30:48
0:30:48 > 0:30:52This is not a deerstalker, this is a Sherlock Holmes hat. You are is
0:30:52 > 0:30:59far from famous! The press will turn, they always turn. They will
0:30:59 > 0:31:06turn on you. It really bothers you, what people say about me. Why was
0:31:06 > 0:31:16that upset you? Just try to keep a low profile, find yourself a little
0:31:16 > 0:31:16
0:31:16 > 0:31:20case this week. Stay out of the Will there be a third series? They
0:31:20 > 0:31:24have only been three. There was three last time and three this time.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28At the moment, I don't know. We will have to wait and see what
0:31:28 > 0:31:33happens. The hope for me was that there would be, but as you will see,
0:31:33 > 0:31:39it is not so clear cut. Would you like somebody to tell you as soon
0:31:39 > 0:31:47as they know? Yes. They should be. It is a class these. How would you
0:31:47 > 0:31:50play Watson? I couldn't! Not like that. To me, that was fantastic. It
0:31:50 > 0:31:56has actually come alive, this show. When it started, it took me a while
0:31:56 > 0:32:01to get into it. But I am really into it now. Double acts are great
0:32:01 > 0:32:05fun. Two great actors. You are about to be in the Sweeney. I
0:32:05 > 0:32:11finished that just before Christmas. So you are the Sherlock in a way.
0:32:11 > 0:32:16think it might be the other way around! He is class, is good.
0:32:16 > 0:32:20play Jack Regan, don't you? It is difficult, because it is such an
0:32:20 > 0:32:24iconic show. I had my reservations about doing it in the first place,
0:32:24 > 0:32:30and it has taken a few years to get it together. We just have to start
0:32:30 > 0:32:35again and make it our own. Hats off for Great Expectations, absolutely
0:32:35 > 0:32:40fantastic. A class bit of work, the BBC does that better than anyone.
0:32:40 > 0:32:47This man is already in the biggest film of Christmas 2012, the Hobbit.
0:32:47 > 0:32:55Yes, I am! I am the hobbit. With Benedict again. Did you pull a few
0:32:55 > 0:33:01strings? How did I get it?! How did he get it? Did he get you into the
0:33:01 > 0:33:06hobbit? The idea that he got me in the Hobbit makes me want to kill
0:33:06 > 0:33:11everybody in this room! I got me in the Hobbit, and he got himself in
0:33:11 > 0:33:15the Hobbit because he is brilliant. You are Bilbo Baggins, we are all
0:33:15 > 0:33:21going to go and see it. Happy Christmas, everyone! Is that the
0:33:21 > 0:33:26little geezer? I am talking here! Shellac is back on Sunday, the last
0:33:26 > 0:33:30one for a while, don't miss it. -- Sherlock. Many names spring to mind
0:33:30 > 0:33:36from the 60s, the beetles, JFK, Marilyn Monroe, Martin Luther King,
0:33:36 > 0:33:43Edward Craven Walker. Who? He will have heard of the genie of the
0:33:43 > 0:33:51lamp? He is the genie are the... Sorry! What is he? He is the genius
0:33:51 > 0:33:55In the late 1940s, after serving as a pilot in the war, Edward Craven
0:33:55 > 0:33:59Walker went on to have a colourful career, not because he was a
0:33:59 > 0:34:03pioneering nudist, but because he invented an object which would
0:34:03 > 0:34:09capture the imagination of millions. It came to symbolise one of
0:34:09 > 0:34:15Britain's most colourful decades. So what was this object? The lava
0:34:16 > 0:34:20lamp. This was the culmination of a 12 year obsession that first began
0:34:20 > 0:34:24in 1948 following a chance visit to the Queen's Head in Poole in Dorset.
0:34:24 > 0:34:29After he had been propped up the bar for a few minutes, he noticed a
0:34:29 > 0:34:32curious contraption. It looked something like this, a clear flask
0:34:32 > 0:34:36filled with two very different liquids. After he had been looking
0:34:36 > 0:34:41at it for a while, the landlord walked past and 10 daylight on
0:34:41 > 0:34:44underneath. As he drank his pint, he became mesmerised by the
0:34:45 > 0:34:49swirling drops of liquid. The landlord explained that he got it
0:34:49 > 0:34:54from an inventor called Alfred done it. It was supposed to be some kind
0:34:54 > 0:34:59of egg-timer, but the landlord was just using it as a curiosity. All
0:34:59 > 0:35:03it consisted of was two liquids, oil and water, and no matter how
0:35:03 > 0:35:10much you stir them together, they do not mix, but you do get these
0:35:10 > 0:35:14amazing blobs and swirls forming. This was still the 1940s, and
0:35:14 > 0:35:18novelty lamps were all but unheard of, but Craven Walker realised that
0:35:18 > 0:35:22a lamp did not need to simply be a source of light. It could also be a
0:35:22 > 0:35:30source of art in its own right, something to stare at and be
0:35:30 > 0:35:34admired. And that was his eureka His next problem was to make the
0:35:34 > 0:35:39two liquids interact by themselves, and this would be the beginning of
0:35:39 > 0:35:44a 12 year obsession. He immediately went home and began experimenting
0:35:44 > 0:35:49with all sorts of liquids and bottles and oils and waxes to try
0:35:49 > 0:35:52to work out what the perfect combination was. He died in the
0:35:52 > 0:35:57year 2000, but I am meeting up with his wife Susan to try to find out
0:35:57 > 0:36:02how he came to create such an iconic object. Was he a very
0:36:02 > 0:36:10meticulous man? Most of his life he spent trying to perfect it, testing
0:36:10 > 0:36:16it and re-testing it. It drove me nuts! And was it an immediate
0:36:16 > 0:36:20success? It went straight to the top, straight to the West End. The
0:36:20 > 0:36:26lady came in and said, take that beastly thing away, get it out of
0:36:26 > 0:36:31here! Every step of the way, he was known to arcane against a brick
0:36:31 > 0:36:36wall, but he kept going. -- he was snubbed or came up against a brick
0:36:36 > 0:36:41wall. But he was years ahead of his time, and his invention was soon to
0:36:41 > 0:36:47strike a chord with the psychedelic revolution of the 1960s. For him,
0:36:47 > 0:36:53what was the perfect Al-Alam like? The perfect lava lamp was won with
0:36:53 > 0:37:02a serpentine shape. Anyone can make that man, but the perfect shape was
0:37:02 > 0:37:04Serpentine. -- glammed. 50 years on, its popularity still endures. They
0:37:04 > 0:37:12are pattern Tidd and are still produced here in the UK at this
0:37:12 > 0:37:18factory run by Cressida Granger. -- patented. As it rises, there is
0:37:18 > 0:37:25less volume of liquid, so it cools more quickly. What is inside?
0:37:25 > 0:37:30it is secret. Secret! You can tell me, there is no one watching.
0:37:30 > 0:37:38mainly wax, water and other secret things. Every lava lamp produced
0:37:38 > 0:37:42here in Britain is still made by Craven Walker's invention helped to
0:37:42 > 0:37:45define one of Britain's most colourful decades, and today the
0:37:45 > 0:37:52lava lamp is still as intriguing as ever.
0:37:52 > 0:37:58Yes! Let's hear it for the lava lamp! Vote now for the lava lamp!
0:37:58 > 0:38:03Here we are at Opportunity Knocks Again. Before we meet our next
0:38:03 > 0:38:09contender, Sally Carr from Glasgow, aged 66, and Ken Andrew from
0:38:09 > 0:38:19Edinburgh, 69, let's have a look at them back in 1971 with a song that
0:38:19 > 0:38:25
0:38:25 > 0:38:31Oh, that is fantastic, you sold millions of those records, didn't
0:38:31 > 0:38:36you? Millions and millions. that is not what you won
0:38:36 > 0:38:40Opportunity Knocks with. It did not change our lives, but it changed
0:38:40 > 0:38:45our name, as you can see, we went into pop-music, so we were nervous
0:38:45 > 0:38:50about whether we could do this again. We are going to drive.
0:38:50 > 0:39:00be nervous, I think they are ready for you! Tonight Opportunity Knocks

0:39:53 > 0:40:00still got it? They have still got it! Have they got it in bundles?
0:40:00 > 0:40:05Bundles! Officially, it is another bundle! Time for our 4th contender,
0:40:05 > 0:40:10comedian Frankie Allen from Liverpool. Here he is back in 1987.
0:40:10 > 0:40:20Imagine having a bevvy with the incredible hulk and he knocked his
0:40:20 > 0:40:22
0:40:22 > 0:40:28pint over. All right, keep your Looking fantastic, are you still
0:40:28 > 0:40:33performing? Yeah, I am working all over the time, all over Europe, a
0:40:33 > 0:40:37lot for the forces. Did it give you lots of opportunities?
0:40:37 > 0:40:41Monkhouse gave me some great advice, it was fantastic, events in my life,
0:40:41 > 0:40:46and I have not stopped, I have been working everywhere, busy, met some
0:40:46 > 0:40:51marvellous people all over the world, great. You are here to work

0:41:09 > 0:41:15saw a house with balloons outside. Birthday cards on the door. He said
0:41:15 > 0:41:25Happy birthday, Becky, 18 today. Underneath, it said the world's
0:41:25 > 0:41:28
0:41:28 > 0:41:35Boughton advent calendar been Liverpool. All the windows were
0:41:35 > 0:41:42boarded up. Thank you very much! Has he still got it? Still got it,

0:42:02 > 0:42:08meet another contender, one-man- band Bruce Thompson from Newcastle.
0:42:08 > 0:42:14This is him back in 1971. Fantastic! Look at that hair as
0:42:14 > 0:42:19well. Thank you. I have still got it. How many instruments? At the
0:42:19 > 0:42:23minute, five. And a voice! You have to practise this last night.
0:42:23 > 0:42:28song that I did in 1971, I have not signed it since, and you will see
0:42:28 > 0:42:34why in a minute. I had to download it last night and learned again.

0:43:24 > 0:43:32has still got it, thank you so much. Our next guest is a bit of a
0:43:32 > 0:43:40special one. He is a beginner, it is Jay Rayner! Ladies and gentlemen,
0:43:40 > 0:43:44tonight I give you a Lancashire Beautiful Lancashire, the perfect
0:43:44 > 0:43:48place to come to celebrate the renaissance of a great traditional
0:43:48 > 0:43:51British dish. When it is usually cold and damp outside, you need a
0:43:51 > 0:43:56meal that is going to warn you to the tips of your toes, and that is
0:43:56 > 0:44:04where Lancashire hot pot comes in, hot, steaming loveliness, layers of
0:44:04 > 0:44:07lamb, potato, I could really do with something like that now!
0:44:07 > 0:44:11Traditionally, it was a dish of necessity made it the cheapest and
0:44:11 > 0:44:14most readily available ingredients. A few hundred years ago, workers
0:44:14 > 0:44:18would leave the hot part in the baker's bread oven during the day,
0:44:18 > 0:44:23and by the time they came home, the mutton would be beautifully tender.
0:44:23 > 0:44:27The first time the hotpot got a literary mention is in the novel
0:44:27 > 0:44:31north and south. Victorian writer Elizabeth Gaskell described how the
0:44:31 > 0:44:38mill owner dined on hotpot with his workers, saying, I have never made
0:44:38 > 0:44:42a better dinner in my life. Two Art Part, coming up! Nigel is
0:44:42 > 0:44:52Lancashire born and bred. He says it deserves its place and the menu
0:44:52 > 0:44:52
0:44:52 > 0:44:58You'll love Lancashire hotpot. is my favourite dish. We always had
0:44:58 > 0:45:03it as a family. It is a very simple dish, slow-cooked, beautiful,
0:45:03 > 0:45:07something a family can enjoy and celebrate together. Are there are
0:45:07 > 0:45:13regional differences? There have been rumours of black pudding going
0:45:13 > 0:45:16into a hot pot, and kidneys. For me, carrots, kidneys, black pudding,
0:45:16 > 0:45:20that is a no-no. Time to start cooking and I am being allowed to
0:45:20 > 0:45:25help. I feel an immense responsibility. It all depends on
0:45:25 > 0:45:31me. Nigel is using traditional cheap cuts of lamb but sneaking in
0:45:31 > 0:45:35some expensive ones. And there is a surprise ingredient. Oysters in a
0:45:36 > 0:45:40hot pot? They are a natural thing in hot pot. In Lancashire, they
0:45:40 > 0:45:44were a cheap commodity 100 years ago and used as protein. When meat
0:45:44 > 0:45:50was out of season or expensive, they would use oysters. What does
0:45:50 > 0:45:56it give to the dish? An extra bit of luxury and richness, and it is
0:45:56 > 0:46:00just interesting and different. It is a form of surf and turf. Onions
0:46:00 > 0:46:10next, with lamb chops adding drama to the dish. With the bone pointing
0:46:10 > 0:46:15out? Yes, push them right down like that. Beautiful. OK, I have got the
0:46:15 > 0:46:21potatoes. That is looking good. for the potatoey lid. No, we have
0:46:21 > 0:46:25not forgotten the stock. Nigel's of court does not have any. You have
0:46:25 > 0:46:29plenty of liquid in the potatoes and onions and the lamb releases
0:46:29 > 0:46:34juices. You have the oysters as well. We are trying to get a hot
0:46:34 > 0:46:38pot that is a hot pot, not a broth. It all comes together as one.
0:46:38 > 0:46:48Poppet in the oven for three hours and you should have a beautiful,
0:46:48 > 0:46:57
0:46:57 > 0:47:01It smells fantastic, but how does it taste? The bit of oyster. I have
0:47:01 > 0:47:06had Lancashire hot pot before, but this has an added dimension. There
0:47:06 > 0:47:13is a richness to the oyster. It is not fishy. It is sweet and dense.
0:47:13 > 0:47:18It is lovely and it is all mine. But not for long. I have come to
0:47:18 > 0:47:26see how modern-day Lancastrians feel about the oysters that their
0:47:26 > 0:47:30forefathers loved. That is very good. I would not opt for that.
0:47:30 > 0:47:35am going down to the seaside to get the oysters. Looking at the remains,
0:47:35 > 0:47:41it is clear that this has been a hit. No real surprise, it is a
0:47:41 > 0:47:45classic. But throw in some oysters and it is even better than that.
0:47:45 > 0:47:49My favourite dish in the world, literally, in the world. I am not
0:47:49 > 0:47:54sure my mum would approve of the oysters. Cornish pasty is have to
0:47:54 > 0:48:01come from Cornwall. What about a hotpot and Lancashire. You cannot
0:48:01 > 0:48:04put a product of designated origin on a recipe. Only products. We had
0:48:04 > 0:48:09won their, cheese from Lancashire. We have loads of products from
0:48:09 > 0:48:19Lancashire, because it is good stuff. You have to drive this. This
0:48:19 > 0:48:25
0:48:25 > 0:48:30is called the Lancashire bomb. -- It is really powerful. Wow! It is a
0:48:30 > 0:48:40sheep's cheese, made by the same family for four generations. Cy M
0:48:40 > 0:48:44that is all right. I would have Then we have better pies. They came
0:48:44 > 0:48:53about because the Catholics did not want to eat meat on Fridays. --
0:48:53 > 0:48:59butter. Potato, Leek, butter, basically carbohydrates squared.
0:48:59 > 0:49:04Very good for your festive figure. Can you feel your arteries
0:49:04 > 0:49:09hardening? Yes, but I don't care because it is so nice. We have
0:49:09 > 0:49:16Chorley cake, which is like Eccles cake but less sweet. There is lots
0:49:16 > 0:49:26of very good stuff. How good is this? That is very good, I like
0:49:26 > 0:49:29that. Shall I have some of that? The show is over! We are on the
0:49:29 > 0:49:35hunt for the One Show spaghetti bolognese. We want special twists
0:49:35 > 0:49:45and ingredients that make yours the best. Ray Winstone thinks the law
0:49:45 > 0:49:49
0:49:50 > 0:49:59is the clue. -- he thinks you need Grated plain chocolate.
0:50:00 > 0:50:06
0:50:06 > 0:50:10Controversial, but interesting. Beautiful. He is vegetarian. Lie-
0:50:10 > 0:50:14detector tests have been in the news this week and Hertfordshire
0:50:14 > 0:50:20police have been carrying out a trial to determine whether they are
0:50:20 > 0:50:26a useful way of bringing about securing convictions. But is there
0:50:26 > 0:50:30any truth in lie-detectors? Joe Crowley has been to find out.
0:50:30 > 0:50:35The added dimension of the polygraph focuses attention during
0:50:35 > 0:50:40tense scenes in cop drama interrogations. But do we really
0:50:40 > 0:50:45need the polygraph machine, the lie detector? I do not lie, but
0:50:45 > 0:50:54sometimes not telling the truth is good. Would you consider yourself
0:50:54 > 0:50:57an honest person? Yes. Do you ever lied to people? Yes. If you had to
0:50:58 > 0:51:03go on a lie-detector test, a polygraph, do you think you would
0:51:04 > 0:51:09pass? No. So how reliable is a polygraph at finding the truth?
0:51:09 > 0:51:12This is my better half. Bruce is here so I cannot tell you her name.
0:51:12 > 0:51:17I am going to try to conceal it from him and he is going to try to
0:51:17 > 0:51:23find it out using a polygraph. would like you to write down eight
0:51:23 > 0:51:28names and I will go through them and say, is this your girl from's
0:51:28 > 0:51:31name for? I want you to sate No each time. -- your girlfriend. A
0:51:31 > 0:51:35normal test would be to find out if you had committed a certain deed
0:51:35 > 0:51:45but in this instance we are just going to get some information from
0:51:45 > 0:51:49
0:51:49 > 0:51:52you. Is your girlfriend's name Emma? No. Hanna?
0:51:52 > 0:51:58I am not sure how good I was at concealing the truth, but we will
0:51:58 > 0:52:02find out later. The polygraph is not admissible in British courts,
0:52:02 > 0:52:06but it is slightly different in the States. Sadly, the BBC budget does
0:52:06 > 0:52:12not take me to America, but through the wonders of modern technology I
0:52:12 > 0:52:16can speak to Professor Ronald Sullivan at Harvard Law School. So,
0:52:16 > 0:52:21Professor, can you hear me? Thank you for joining me. How do
0:52:21 > 0:52:28polygraphs work in American courts? Some states permit the use of
0:52:28 > 0:52:31polygraph evidence. New Mexico is one interesting example. New Mexico
0:52:32 > 0:52:35basically treats jurors as grown- ups and says, we are going to
0:52:35 > 0:52:40present you with evidence and some of this evidence may be polygraph
0:52:40 > 0:52:43evidence. You will hear both sides. You will hear the proponent of the
0:52:43 > 0:52:48evidence says it is reliable. You will hear the opponent of the
0:52:48 > 0:52:53evidence say it is unreliable. And you make the decision whether you
0:52:53 > 0:52:58use it. But Professor Sullivan admits that large sections of the
0:52:58 > 0:53:02US scientific community regarded as a pseudo-science. Back with Bruce,
0:53:02 > 0:53:11the Test is over, he has analysed the data and it is time for the
0:53:11 > 0:53:21results. The most likely name of your girlfriend would be heaven. Is
0:53:21 > 0:53:21
0:53:21 > 0:53:25it? Yes. -- Helen. You can see this peak here. These are the other
0:53:25 > 0:53:29names and he reacted to some of them, but when it came to Helen,
0:53:29 > 0:53:32you get a nice reaction and it died away afterwards. I am still
0:53:33 > 0:53:38sceptical about it but you can reassure my lovely other half that
0:53:38 > 0:53:42she has nothing to fear from any of those other seven names. I don't
0:53:42 > 0:53:46think she has anything to fear from the other seven names. Because you
0:53:46 > 0:53:50reacted so strongly, it is probably something important with her.
0:53:50 > 0:53:55Possibly you are going to dump her, or possibly you are very much in
0:53:55 > 0:53:59love and looking forward to going home. I cannot tell that. And that
0:53:59 > 0:54:07was all true, Ladies and Gentlemen. Time for another star from
0:54:07 > 0:54:11Opportunity Knocks Again. Have they still got it? Accordion player
0:54:11 > 0:54:21Steve originally appeared on Opportunity Knocks in 1978. Here he
0:54:21 > 0:54:27
0:54:27 > 0:54:36Fantastic, Steve. I am loving the outfit. Can we have a look?
0:54:36 > 0:54:41Gorgeous legs! I have had them for a long time. Did Opportunity Knocks
0:54:41 > 0:54:46change your life? It did. I get lots of work on my website and
0:54:46 > 0:54:51contracts everywhere. Your wife was in the audience then and she is
0:54:51 > 0:54:57here tonight as well. She has always travelled with me. All the
0:54:57 > 0:55:05time. They are ready for you. I gather you have to put on your
0:55:05 > 0:55:15instrument. Yes. Good luck. So far, all that acts have got what it

0:56:09 > 0:56:16takes, but has Steve? He is ready? Standing ovation, look at that! The
0:56:16 > 0:56:25first standing ovation of the night. Now, our last performance, ladies
0:56:25 > 0:56:35and gentlemen. Make the most of it. Chris Morris from Bodmin, now 54.
0:56:35 > 0:56:52
0:56:52 > 0:56:56That was the Royal Variety Performance. We had a song which
0:56:56 > 0:57:01was number one after doing that programme, and then we did the
0:57:01 > 0:57:07Royal Variety performance as well. It was fantastic. You are still
0:57:07 > 0:57:12working. Yes, I have a recording studio and I record new artists.
0:57:12 > 0:57:17And I also work with a 70s band. don't want to make you nervous, but
0:57:17 > 0:57:27they are ready. Good luck. He has to still have it. Opportunity
