Doreen took in an evacuee, a little girl, also called Doreen, | :00:02. | :00:09. | |
fromealing in London. It was a big day for us, was it, having somebody | :00:09. | :00:15. | |
new in the house, but it was a sad day because of the war. She had to | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
leave her mother behind. Was she a nice little girl? Was she a good | :00:19. | :00:26. | |
girl? Oh, yes, she was. Little Doreen Hambridge 20 two | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
years in Carmarthen away from the horrors that were unfolding in | :00:32. | :00:33. | |
London. She must have become part of the | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
family. Yes, yes. What was it like having a little six-year-old girl | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
living with you? I was quite happy. My husband Fred was out in India in | :00:41. | :00:48. | |
the war, you see. I see. OK. So you had company. Yes. But after the war | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
ended, little Doreen returned home, and over the years, the to women | :00:51. | :00:55. | |
lost contact. So what became of the little girl? Well, Doreen and her | :00:55. | :00:59. | |
family have wondered for years, so we thought The One Show could help | :00:59. | :01:04. | |
solve this problem. Cat Whiteaway is a professional | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
people finder, and I've enlisted her help in tracing the whereabouts | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
of Doreen Hambridge. It's like being a detective, and what I'm | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
trying to do is trace people and reunite them with people they've | :01:17. | :01:22. | |
lost touch with. Cat has been given a few facts to get going, but the | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
details are sketchy. With Doreen, we know how old she was when she | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
came here. We also know she has a brother called Fred. Her first job | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
is to look at entries in the birth index. That's the record of | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
everyone born in the UK. I found one birth entry for a Doreen | :01:38. | :01:44. | |
Hambridge born in 1938. There is also a Fredrick Hambridge born two | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
years earlier, 1936, both born in Brentford, both with the same | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
mother's name. So we found her on the birth | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
register. That's good news as it's the first step in our search. Next, | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
it's the marriage index, and after a bit of digging, she's there too. | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
But the most important question - is Doreen still alive? She'd be 73 | :02:04. | :02:09. | |
years old now. Cat comes across an amazing bit of information. | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
Doreen's daughter Barbara has posted her family's details on an | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
ancestry website. Nervously, Cat gets in touch, and after a few days, | :02:18. | :02:21. | |
bingo, some good news. I have had an e-mail from Barbara to say she | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
is Doreen's daughter, which is great news, and she says that her | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
mum is alive and well, living in London, so that's where I need to | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
go next. Cat is told that she'll find Doreen | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
at one of her regular haunts, Southall Market. | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
Doreen is that you? Yeah. Hi. I'm Cat, Cat Whiteaway. Pleased to meet | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
you. I'm so glad to meet you. Doreen Hambridge is now Doreen | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
Smith. And she's delighted that nearly 70 years on the other Doreen | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
in West Wales wants to find out what happened to her. Is it nice to | :02:56. | :02:59. | |
know someone is looking for you? Yeah, it is. It's lovely. I am | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
thrilled to bits. And what do you remember about the village? Good | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
memories. She was good, a good woman, and... What did you call | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
her? Mum. I called her mum. And what would it mean to you to go | :03:14. | :03:20. | |
back to Wales? I don't know. I couldn't tell you. I'd be too | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
overwhelmed. SOBBING | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
Later on, we'll have the moment when the two Doreens are reunited, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
so hankies at the ready, folks. There is going to be tears! We have | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
already seen there are tears. It's Louis Theroux and Jessica Hynes, | :03:41. | :03:41. | |
everyone. APPLAUSE | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
Good evening. Welcome to the programme. | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
Aren't they looking really smart? You look like a couple. You do. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
Would you be happy or unhappy with that? Only time will tell, Chris, | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
as you know. If you owned a restaurant, you wouldn't mind these | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
two coming in, would you? You would think we haven't a couple of | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
runners in here. These two would pay the bill. If you were to go to | :04:07. | :04:16. | |
a restaurant, where would you go? Oh, Pizza Express. But I always | :04:16. | :04:23. | |
have Salad Nicois, and I always have that. But it's not Pizza | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
Express. It's not the same dressing. Pizza Express is no longer allowed | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
to be... I still go there all the time, and I love it. Is that OK? | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
We'll be on to your agent immediately. You saw the first part | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
there with the evacuees being reunited. Have you done Who Do You | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
Think You Are? Or anything like that? My grandparents met in China | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
before the Second World War, so I did actually go to China to try to | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
find out where they met, so to do a little bit of research like that | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
when I was in my early 20s. What were you doing in China? My grandpa | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
was on his way over to Russia - his family left there at the beginning | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
of the century. Some of their family went to China, and some of | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
them went to San Francisco, so yeah, he was there. He was a naturalised | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
Chineseman when he was there. He grew up there and spoke Chinese. He | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
grew up there and she came from West Wales. Sorry to gesture. | :05:20. | :05:24. | |
no. Not here! She was a governess. She wanted to be a teacher and left | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
home and went to China and was a teacher, and they met. So if the | :05:29. | :05:32. | |
producers of Who Do You Think You Are? Are watching, you have done | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
all the work for them. I would love to do it. And they'd have a great | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
trip as well. Louis, you're here. Yes, I am. Nice to be here. We're | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
going to talk about Jimmy Saville. OK. I thought that might come up. | :05:46. | :05:51. | |
To get him out of the way, I know you two are referenced. This is the | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
first time you have been on telly since he passed. Yes, that's true. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
So what would you like to know. noticed that was somewhat of a | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
closed question, so here goes - is it true you have a little bit of a | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
regret because you didn't keep in touch as much as you would have | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
liked to? Yes, I saw him after the programme. I travelled with my | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
director. We'd always bring a camera with no film in it. We'd | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
pretend to film as we went out and about around Leeds. Jimmy always | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
liked the sense of occasion that having a camera brings. Later on I | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
lost touch. You have to stop there. People may not have thought they | :06:32. | :06:37. | |
heard correctly. You used to pretend to film with no film | :06:37. | :06:41. | |
because he liked that. Yes, he liked to document his every moment | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
but didn't mind whether or not we were actually filming. | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
LAUGHTER You describe him as the most | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
unstarry and showbiz person you have ever met. That's odd. He was a | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
very down-to-earth bloke. During the documentary, he actually broke | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
his ankle and said, "Well, we can carry on filming. That's fine. Or | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
we can go to hospital. It's up to you." In other words, he was happy | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
to hobble through the rest of the documentary. That was the kind of | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
bloke he was. Because he lived in Jimmy world. Hell a rely did. | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
of the others you met, he must be straight in the top five with the | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
eccentrics. Ann Widdecombe, have you kept up with her? I have not | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
kept up with her so much. Chris you bank I have been following because | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
his son has also launched his career as a boxer, so I thought | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
maybe there was a follow-up there because Chris Senior is so used to | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
being in the spotlight. The idea of seeing him in this backstage role | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
mentoring his son through the boxing... Would you do that? | :07:45. | :07:51. | |
haven't approached him, but I would do that. Sons of - Louis Theroux' | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Sons Of... Nice. Think about it! personally have to ask you - lots | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
of people will be thinking the same. Now, your cousin, is it, is dating | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
Jennifer Aniston... You love to talk about this, don't you? I am | :08:06. | :08:11. | |
happy to. And she's a lovely person. Is her hair really glossy in real | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
life? Her hair is thick and lustrous and very charming and just | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
like you and me, normal. Have you melt her? I have. Does she have a | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
beard? Does she! Whose house does she - has he stayed in your house? | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
No, she lives in Los Angeles with my cousin Justin, a different world | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
I am occasionally allowed to peep inside. Thank you very much for | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
being with us. I'm going to be on telly more! Enough of the silliness. | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
We'll be asking you serious questions later about your new | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
documentary, which starts next week, doesn't it? It's called Extreme | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
Love. Now, in tribute to Louis Theroux, Sir Jimmy Saville - there | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
he is again, tonight we're going to make a little boy's dream come true. | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
We say little, but he's taller than Chris and is 44. | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
"Dear Chris and Alex, I have always loved horses, and as it's Grand | :09:07. | :09:11. | |
National weekend, please, please fix it for me to be a racing | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
commentator. Sorry about the spelling mistakes, lots and lots of | :09:16. | :09:23. | |
love, Alex Riley, aged 44 years and one month." Tears, everyone. Seeing | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
as we had a crew near Aintree, how could we say no? | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
The Grand National, a race made of dreams and legends, if ultimate | :09:37. | :09:43. | |
test of horse and jockey! Getting over these fences isn't the only | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
challenge. Can you imagine just how difficult it is with a commentator | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
trying to keep track of it all? Synchronised followed by | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
Ballabriggs. Followed by Who's Who? Can I hand over to the next | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
commentator, please? Treacle, still a little bit stickty at the last. | :10:03. | :10:09. | |
Did you get that? He's just fell at the fence. With Shakalakaboomboom! | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Ballabriggs - he is the winner of the Grand National 2012! When | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
you're watching racing, a good commentator is almost like hearing | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
music that builds up and builds up and here we go - it's like a gallop | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
themselves building up to the peak when they cross the line. Tucked | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
away on the inside of One in the Dark. | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
So just how hard is it to deliver the kind of galloping commentary we | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
have come to expect?! Jim, this is your 20th year commentating on the | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Grand National. How on earth to you manage to remember up to 40 runners | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
and riders? Every one of those horses has an owner, and every | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
owner has a set of colours. You'll say, Synchronised is owned by JP | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
McManus. His colours are green and yellow hoops with a white cap, and | :10:57. | :11:02. | |
that's like his brand, if you like, yeah? There are complications, and | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
one of them is that JP has a lot of horses, and he might have maybe | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
five runners in the race, so he has a different coloured cap on each | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
one. Just the cap? A different - different cap. Makes life difficult. | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
It does, yeah. Can I have a go at commentating. I'm going to set you | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
a little task. Memorise every one of those 20 runners. Are therefully | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
tricks of the trade? Imagine going to a party, and I say "What was the | :11:34. | :11:41. | |
guy with the pink bow tie?" You say, Alex. I apply those here. I can | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
imagine someone posting that into a letter box - the postmaster. I'm | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
time for a master class from the professionals. Here's how it should | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
be done. Seven and Across the Bay on the far side leads to it from | :11:56. | :12:04. | |
Big Buck's as they get over number seven in good style. (He's spotting | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
things that Jim might have missed and feeding it to Jim through the | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
headphones. In the) One left to jump, Big Buck's comes towards the | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
last. He's over it in immaculate style. | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
So could I cut it as a commentator? Or will I fall at the first hurdle? | :12:24. | :12:32. | |
They're off. They're off. Shakalakaboomboom from Synchronised. | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
Pu-State of Play from Synchronised - Synchronised, and Ballabriggs is | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
coming back. He's coming back in, and then Shakalakaboomboom. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Shakalakaboomboom - winner! No. It's Synchronised wins the National | :12:46. | :12:53. | |
- 2012 - the Jubilee year. I thought that was an exceptionally | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
good performance. There was one little hesitation in the middle, | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
but a very good effort. If I get tonsillitis overnight, you might be | :13:01. | :13:11. | |
| :13:11. | :13:16. | ||
the man. I'm there, Jim. I live We will be putting Alex to the test | :13:16. | :13:21. | |
later in our Friday Grand National at the end of the show! He is ready | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
to go, the boy! Some Grand National footage and we are talking about | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
racing. I remember going to racing evenings when I was little at my | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
sister's secondary school, it would be pre-recorded, we would have fish | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
and chips and we would put bets on, and I met a taxi driver who said | :13:42. | :13:48. | |
that is how his gambling problem started. He remembers at 87 going | :13:48. | :13:52. | |
to a bracing evening just like that, winning all five Betts and that was | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
it -- racing evening. Have you ever wanted to infiltrate the world of | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
racing? No. My girlfriend introduced me to the pleasure of | :14:03. | :14:08. | |
betting on the horses but until I put money on, I found I could not | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
get interested, until I was financially involved. I read about | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
these billionaires who used to bet on games of golf and they could not | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
get turned on by the money because it meant nothing, so then they | :14:22. | :14:28. | |
played for a boat, and then they played for a punch and that focused | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
them. I thought you were going to say they played for their wives. | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
can see where your mind is going! It is Friday night and Jessica is | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
he at! Jessica, you are involved in another sporting event, Twenty | :14:43. | :14:50. | |
Twelve, and documentary. Set it up for us. It is a mock documentary. | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
The writer has created a fictional, comedy deliverance Commission for | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
the Olympics, 2012. There are heads of departments having lots of | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
endless meetings and conversations with lots of jargon and business- | :15:08. | :15:13. | |
speak about the Olympics and how it is for them at least, very often | :15:13. | :15:20. | |
going horribly wrong. That is basically it. You play Siobhan, the | :15:20. | :15:24. | |
brand manager who knows nothing. Yes, she doesn't know what she is | :15:24. | :15:29. | |
talking about but she likes to think she does. She has a glassy- | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
eyed confidence. You steal the show! Tell her she steals the show! | :15:35. | :15:45. | |
| :15:45. | :15:46. | ||
We know she steals the show! I thought I would ask you to come | :15:46. | :15:53. | |
and talk about the sort of opportunities... Shaw... An idea it | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
would throw up for us in branding terms. It is a very cool idea, sure. | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
And how that might... No, yeah, the thing with that is, the thing with | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
that is that it is not every year you get the Diamond Jubilee. It is | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
like, once every 50 years. 60 years. Sure. They have a big national | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
thing coming up. That is like the Jubilee. We have a big event, which | :16:24. | :16:30. | |
is, like, the Olympics, so as I say, we hitched their wagon to that | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
train all the way from here to Mount Olympus! Yes, a think that is | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
pretty much what I have just said to you. | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
APPLAUSE. You are obviously a fantastic | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
actress. He steal the show it! But when you know, be candid, when you | :16:53. | :16:57. | |
know you are so much better than another actor, not Hugh Bonneville, | :16:57. | :17:03. | |
do you have to back off from stealing the show? Only if you are | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
told to. I don't even think about it like that. I always feel like I | :17:08. | :17:15. | |
am catching up. That is my mentality. Humble. It works that | :17:15. | :17:20. | |
way. You are just trying to keep up with what is going on around you. | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
That is pretty much it. It is incredibly popular because you are | :17:25. | :17:29. | |
filming some specials that will go out just before the Olympics. | :17:29. | :17:39. | |
| :17:39. | :17:41. | ||
we? That's great. I am happy about that! That is great news. Louis, | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
are you excited about the Olympics? Yes, Offiah and the only person who | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
has got every ticket that I went four -- I am the only person. Have | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
I got weightlifting, 200 metres semi-final, ping-pong, all of the | :17:57. | :18:07. | |
| :18:07. | :18:08. | ||
good stuff. It is the Fix! Are you making this up? Ping-pong quick -- | :18:08. | :18:16. | |
ping-pong?? Will you take Jennifer Aniston? When you have any | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
aftermath Olympic programmes? is potential because the characters | :18:21. | :18:25. | |
are what the comedy is about so obviously there will be an | :18:25. | :18:33. | |
aftermath. I would be happy to continue. Jennifer is lovely. | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
Jennifer? I'm Jessica Moore. Sorry, I was thinking about Jennifer | :18:41. | :18:50. | |
Aniston! My name is Jessica! You can call me Jennifer -- Jennifer | :18:50. | :18:57. | |
Aniston if you want! You can see Jessica or on the next episode of | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
Twenty Twelve! My co-host has been on the radio | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
for a few years now. But now there is a new pair of kids on the block | :19:07. | :19:11. | |
and they mean business, Beryl and Betty. | :19:11. | :19:15. | |
The Sony awards recognise the finest radio talent across the | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
nation and the previous winners is a veritable Who's Who of showbiz on | :19:20. | :19:23. | |
the airwaves, but those guys need to step aside because in the | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
running this year are Beryl and Betty. BBC Radio Humberside's | :19:30. | :19:40. | |
sensations. This is the Beryl and Betty Show! Hello Beryl and Betty! | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
Six years ago, Beryl and Betty kicked off their radio careers | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
having been spotted by presented David Reeves while taking a tour of | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
the BBC studios. Nick name to the ladies that listen, the unique | :19:52. | :19:58. | |
brand of celebrity chat, quirky items coupled with their unhealthy | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
obsession with Michael Buble have made them a smash hit with | :20:02. | :20:10. | |
listeners of all ages. Do you Mike Michael Buble? We like Michael | :20:10. | :20:17. | |
Buble on a Saturday night! Hello! Ladies, what is your favourite part | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
about doing the show? David. Do you think you show has been hijacked? | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
Yes, from the beginning. I knew I had something special with these | :20:29. | :20:36. | |
two. It is now Beryl and Betty with David in very small print! We are | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
experienced in an lot of different things, you know what I mean? You | :20:40. | :20:47. | |
grow to know how to do things properly, don't you, Betty? Yes. | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
can pass on knowledge to people who want it. I have won a couple of | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
awards in my time so I am used to the red carpet, so I thought I | :20:57. | :21:04. | |
would take cue for some pampering before your night out. -- Take You. | :21:04. | :21:14. | |
| :21:14. | :21:23. | ||
I hope they like this. Look at Isn't that posh? That is lovely. | :21:23. | :21:28. | |
Already I think these two are stars and it seems that I am not alone. | :21:28. | :21:33. | |
Can we have your autograph? listen to you all the time on the | :21:33. | :21:40. | |
radio. Now it is all about feeling fabulous. How long ago since you | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
had your nails painted? I have never had them painted, Beryl. | :21:44. | :21:54. | |
Never? No. Could you get used to this? I sure could. Hasn't she done | :21:54. | :22:04. | |
| :22:04. | :22:05. | ||
it beautifully? That is beautiful. I might get some feel -- I might | :22:05. | :22:10. | |
get Afellay. What would I do with him? What wouldn't I do with him? - | :22:10. | :22:20. | |
| :22:20. | :22:21. | ||
- I might get a fella. Do you ever feel you are too old for this? | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
are never too old. If they were to say, this is the end of the show, I | :22:26. | :22:36. | |
| :22:36. | :22:39. | ||
would be broken hearted. Welcome to the One Show, Beryl and | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
Betty! Thank you. It is your first time in London. What do you think? | :22:45. | :22:52. | |
It is lovely. Where have you been? Know where. How did you get | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
together? We used to belong to a neighbour's club in Hull, and | :23:01. | :23:10. | |
anyway, David... Sorry, we asked if we could go around the BBC in Hull | :23:10. | :23:16. | |
and David let us do that. And then apparently David, our David, that | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
does our programme for us, he saw us and he wanted to make for people | :23:20. | :23:27. | |
to help him to do a programme. We put our main stand and he came to | :23:27. | :23:33. | |
see us. OK. He let us know -- we put our names down. We were | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
interviewed quickly. That was OK. Three weeks after, it was 10th May, | :23:40. | :23:46. | |
six years ago, when we did the first show, and we have been with | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
Betty... I beg your pardon, we have been with David ever since! It is | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
so confusing. It is working well because now you are up for an | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
award! Yes. And you are against Frank Skinner. What do you think | :24:04. | :24:13. | |
your chances are? We will hit him! I would not like to comment. Good | :24:13. | :24:19. | |
luck to whoever it is. I think so. Secretly buried you are hoping that | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
he misses his bus! -- secretly though it. You have a feature | :24:25. | :24:33. | |
called chicken dinner. How does it work? Chicken dinner!! It is a | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
programme on David's show. How does it work? Shall we play it now? | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
You get your chicken and you have your dinner with it. Or a chicken | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
dinner. Frank Skinner or a chicken dinner? Chicken dinner. The Grand | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
National or chicken dinner. Grand National! The Olympics or | :25:01. | :25:09. | |
chicken dinner. Chicken dinner. What about, beef or a chicken | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
dinner. Chicken dinner. Michael Buble or a chicken dinner. Ask her | :25:15. | :25:24. | |
up! You might know Michael. She swims every him. I love him. He is | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
lovely. He has got a lovely voice, his music is beautifully arranged. | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
Every week, you have to guess what it actually is by Michael Buble, he | :25:39. | :25:44. | |
plays a couple of notes and we have to guess what it is before he plays | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
it through. Name that Michael Buble Q. What is your favourite? I like | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
them all! That is the right answer so you win an autograph of Michael | :25:57. | :26:07. | |
| :26:07. | :26:07. | ||
Buble! APPLAUSE. He heard about you coming | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
on the show. He is somewhere between Sweden and Germany so he | :26:11. | :26:16. | |
could not be on the phone. On the night of the awards, he may well be | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
playing live. Really? Good luck. Thank you. Beryl and Betty, | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
| :26:34. | :26:38. | ||
These two are an amazing double act, another great Radio Twosome they're | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
up against - true - are Adam and Joe who used to be friends with | :26:44. | :26:54. | |
| :26:54. | :26:55. | ||
Louis Theroux - we say "used to" because they made him do this. | :26:55. | :27:02. | |
(Playing Love is in the Heart) # The chills that you spill | :27:02. | :27:06. | |

When we're done # I couldn't dance for another | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
# Your groove # OK. What's the scoop there, Louis? | :27:19. | :27:26. | |
I can still move like that, but I only do it for Jennifer Aniston. | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
How come that? Everyone was doing it in the early '90s. You don't | :27:30. | :27:37. | |
remember? Exactly that? I think a few beverages. We were feeling | :27:37. | :27:43. | |
quite relaxed. I think Adam Buckston was there. I don't know. | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
One thing led to another. You know how it is. Good. The thing you're | :27:47. | :27:53. | |
doing at the moment couldn't be more light-hearted - autism. Dell | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
us about this. It's called Extreme Love. The second part is about | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
dementia, but the first part is about autism and families dealing | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
with a kid who has autism. It's a tricky subject to talk about in | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
some ways. I don't have any personal, peerps of autism in my | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
own family, so it was a big challenge for me, but I'd always | :28:15. | :28:17. | |
been fascinated by neurological conditions, and it seemed like a | :28:17. | :28:23. | |
good one to try and tackle. meet lots of youngsters and their | :28:23. | :28:28. | |
families in the episode. Here you are with Brian. Let's have a look. | :28:28. | :28:34. | |
Are you ready to push? Yeah. push. Good. Was that fun? Yeah. | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
thought so. OK. I'm going to do the whole lot. | :28:38. | :28:44. | |
Will you help? Yeah. You want to build one? Uh-huh. OK. You don't | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
have to. OK. I'm building another one. | :28:49. | :28:57. | |
Some of the situations must have been really hard because there's a | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
guy similar to Brian called Joey, wasn't there? That's right. They're | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
nearly adults by this stage, and their parents have a lot of trouble, | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
don't they, sort of controlling them? And Brian did, one you have | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
just seen in the clip, he was no longer living at home. He'd burnt | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
his parents house down and had repeatedly assaulted his mum, so | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
his mum felt she could no longer cope with him at home. He lived in | :29:23. | :29:26. | |
a group home and would come home during the day at the weekend. I | :29:26. | :29:31. | |
spent a Saturday, and we were hanging out. To be honest, I was a | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
bit nervous because I heard he had this history of having physical | :29:36. | :29:39. | |
tantrums which in the world of autism isn't that uncommon. As you | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
can see, actually, in that clip he wasn't really enjoying the dominoes | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
that much, but we did hit it off during the course of the time we | :29:46. | :29:51. | |
spent together and actually ended up enjoying ourselves in this sort | :29:51. | :29:55. | |
of slight I had different way in a non-verbal way for the rest of the | :29:56. | :29:59. | |
afternoon. But you have to have an art, don't you, with your | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
documentaries? You have to sort of have an intention of where you're | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
going. Whether you get there is another thing. Is it always the | :30:06. | :30:11. | |
same whether it's Jimmy Saville or a prison where a guy is on death | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
row? What is your ethos? Where are you trying to get to? Is it just a | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
journey of discovery? It's about human connection and about finding | :30:20. | :30:25. | |
stories which on the surface seem strangely alien, to me, then going | :30:25. | :30:29. | |
to place of familiarity and connection, so whether it is a | :30:29. | :30:34. | |
prison or a family dealing with a kid who is autistic, it's about | :30:34. | :30:36. | |
trying to learn the language and make that contact with the person. | :30:36. | :30:41. | |
In some ways this was the hardest one I've done because I rely so | :30:41. | :30:45. | |
much on rapport, building rapport through speech, and a lot of these | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
kids don't really speak. interesting thing as well is you | :30:48. | :30:50. | |
choose to film a lot of these documentaries in the States, | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
whereas there are so many kids here who suffer from autism, and maybe | :30:54. | :30:58. | |
people could have learned by seeing - because you go to the development | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
centre, don't you, and see how they work with the children there. Lots | :31:01. | :31:06. | |
of people who watch it here could have learned a lot from a | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
documentary. Why do it there? have gotten into the habit of | :31:09. | :31:14. | |
making programmes in America. In this case it seemed to work because | :31:14. | :31:17. | |
actually rates of autism are so high there, and in the state we | :31:17. | :31:22. | |
film it in, New Jersey, one in 29 boys is diagnosed with autism - if | :31:22. | :31:25. | |
you can get your head around that - I mean, one in every classroom, in | :31:25. | :31:29. | |
effect. The school we spent a lot of time in was extraordinary. | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
They've lavished money and resources on this school, so it was | :31:32. | :31:36. | |
actually - I wanted it to be a positive story, and what you see in | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
the way of intervention and the treatments they offer I think is | :31:40. | :31:44. | |
very impressive. It was. Extreme Love starts on BBC Two next | :31:44. | :31:48. | |
Thursday, 9.00pm with Louis. Over the years our resident foodie, | :31:48. | :31:53. | |
Jay Rayner, has gotten his chops around many different types of grub. | :31:53. | :31:56. | |
That's true. Tonight it's the week for all things titanic. He's gone | :31:56. | :32:00. | |
for an 11-course journey back to 1912. | :32:00. | :32:08. | |
I'm in Belfast where the Titanic was built and from where she set | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
sail 100 years ago. This, believe it or not, is the actual captain's | :32:12. | :32:17. | |
table built for the Titanic by local cabinet maker Gilbert Logan. | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
You would probably think it's in pretty good nick for something | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
found at the bolt of the Atlantic. That's because it wasn't finished | :32:25. | :32:32. | |
in time and stayed here in Belfast. After the captain, Charles Procter | :32:32. | :32:38. | |
was the highest paid member of state. The excess found its | :32:38. | :32:42. | |
ultimate expression in the food served in the first-class cabin. | :32:42. | :32:47. | |
Contrary to popular belief, all passengers on the Titanic enjoyed | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
good food, but first class included some of the wealthiest people of | :32:50. | :32:55. | |
the day, so for them, nothing less than haute cuisine would do. Copies | :32:55. | :33:02. | |
of the first-classmen you still survive, and Colin McLellan is | :33:02. | :33:08. | |
going to serve for me theene menu for the night Titanic sank. There | :33:08. | :33:15. | |
were oysters, cream of barley soup, salmon, lamb with mint sauce and | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
lots of accompaniments. There was peaches and shar truce jelly, lots | :33:19. | :33:24. | |
of things besides. It's an awful lot of food, even for a big chef | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
like me. The actual recipes, of course, were lost with the ship, | :33:28. | :33:34. | |
but this was fine dining in 1912. That meant a large influence of the | :33:34. | :33:42. | |
chef from the Savoy Hotel and the godfather of modern cuisine. This | :33:42. | :33:46. | |
was food! They gathered around 7.00pm in the evening to have | :33:46. | :33:53. | |
canapes and champagne, went through into the dining room. They were | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
there Through the duration. Well, if I want my lunch, I'd better | :33:56. | :34:03. | |
leave you to get on with it. Excellent. Onboard the ship were | :34:03. | :34:08. | |
three galas with a staff preparing hundreds of meals a day. The menu | :34:08. | :34:11. | |
changed every single night. The massive refrigerators on G deck | :34:12. | :34:17. | |
were the height of modernity at the time and carried tonnes of meat and | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
fish. While no wine list was ever recovered, one report suggested | :34:22. | :34:31. | |
that the ship carried 70 different types of champagne. | :34:31. | :34:36. | |
Oysters ala rocu he. Thank you very much. Back in this period the soup | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
course was something you had to do. A barley broth may sound very | :34:40. | :34:47. | |
humble, but this one has a serious slug of whiskey in it. I could get | :34:47. | :34:55. | |
drunk on this soup! Now we're getting into serious | :34:55. | :34:59. | |
Edwardian largess. What they loved back then was a lot of meat and a | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
lot of stuff on the plate. That's what you have here. A big beef | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
fillet. There is butter-rich potatoes underneath and a sauce | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
that would have taken days to reduce. Because beef isn't enough, | :35:11. | :35:17. | |
here comes the lamb. MUSIC | :35:17. | :35:23. | |
Now you're going to serve us this wood pigeon here at the table. | :35:23. | :35:33. | |
| :35:33. | :35:36. | ||
have this marinated with garlic and garden herbs and a little maderi au | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
jus Curiously asparagus came late in the meal and was served with | :35:40. | :35:46. | |
saffron, the world's most expensive spice. The Sure Start ruse jelly | :35:46. | :35:52. | |
they would have used much more widely than in our cooking now. I | :35:52. | :35:57. | |
must admit, this meal is a gastronomic heavy weight into a | :35:57. | :36:02. | |
bygone era, but it's also a glimpse into how the upper classes dined | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
nearly a century ago. The last of 11 courses, and for | :36:05. | :36:10. | |
many of the first-class passengers onboard Titanic on the night of | :36:10. | :36:17. | |
April the 14th, the last thing they'd ever eat. Titanic slipped | :36:17. | :36:24. | |
under the seas, claiming among them captain Smith, Chef Charles Procter | :36:24. | :36:29. | |
and most of the restaurant staff. Gosh, they wouldn't have swam much | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
with all of that. At least they it a well. They did eat well. You | :36:34. | :36:41. | |
seemed to enjoy it. The other classes didn't eat quite as well, | :36:41. | :36:49. | |
but it was all right. If you fly economy and you get fed dreck, up | :36:49. | :36:54. | |
in upper class it's all swan and braised otter - it actually wasn't | :36:54. | :37:02. | |
too bad. We had the last meal from the Titanic. In second class there | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
was baked haddock, chicken curry, even in third class you have roast | :37:07. | :37:14. | |
beef with gravy and a plum sauce. Very nice. Like today, there wasn't | :37:14. | :37:19. | |
much to do other than eat and - of course, drown as the ship went down. | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
Was that tasteless? A little bit. Going back to the first class food | :37:23. | :37:30. | |
- all of that was... We have put it through an app from one of the | :37:30. | :37:37. | |
weight loss groups which was 4,000 calories, roughly a grown man's | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
intake for two days. I didn't mean to tell you all of this. It's | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
ruining it for you. You know in Master Chef you have three or four | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
contestants, then you nibble a little bit, then you get the rest | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
of the crew, then they like you. I share and share! I believe Chris | :37:55. | :37:59. | |
over there has found someone that can top that. He eats 5,000 | :37:59. | :38:06. | |
calories a day. Who is it, Mr Evans? He's more than an app. He's | :38:06. | :38:12. | |
an England rugby player. Chris is here! When are you playing next? | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
Twickenham at the beginning of May. The thing is you can't have it all | :38:15. | :38:20. | |
- you can't be handsome as well. Dear me! OK. This is what you eat | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
every day? Pretty much. Take us through it and why? We have | :38:26. | :38:34. | |
breakfast, salmon and eggs, bagels. We're speed endurance athletes so | :38:34. | :38:39. | |
we need to make sure we replenish our stores through the day. Lunch | :38:39. | :38:46. | |
here, sweet potatoes, high in carbohydrates, chicken, the main | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
thing there, the protein to replenish the stores again. We have | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
the snack here - How is there an in between? In between would be around | :38:53. | :38:59. | |
training, so, you know, breakfast, train, lunch, train again, you | :38:59. | :39:03. | |
knows we train between three and four times a day, so we need to | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
make sure we have plenty of energy... Every day through your | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
whole career? Yeah. Then when you retire, you retain the appetite, | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
that can be a problem? A little bit of a problem. You might put in some | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
excess weight. Here we have Carl Llewellyn, who won the Grand | :39:19. | :39:21. | |
National twice, ladies and gentlemen, twice, an absolute top | :39:21. | :39:30. | |
man. OK. Spot the difference day as a jockey when you were still | :39:30. | :39:34. | |
riding. You would have toast for breakfast, maybe some cereal, then | :39:34. | :39:39. | |
throughout the day, some Wine Gums, maybe some fruit, then evening meal | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
- chicken, veg. You say evening meal - you often eat before 5.00pm | :39:43. | :39:48. | |
as a jockey? Yeses, before 6.00pm at the latest. Now, National Hunt | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
racing is so tough. You have to retain your strength. How can you | :39:52. | :39:56. | |
possibly keep it up eating this sort of stuff? It's what you get | :39:56. | :40:03. | |
used to. Jockeys seem to keep strong. How can muscle definition | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
come from that? Plenty of carbohydrate. There have been | :40:07. | :40:11. | |
plenty of diet DVDs out by celebrity. No jockey has ever | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
brought a diet DVD out. You would make millions. Definitely do well. | :40:15. | :40:19. | |
You should do it. We have a picture of you winning in 1998. What's the | :40:19. | :40:23. | |
feeling like? Try and describe it. It's the best feeling in the world. | :40:23. | :40:28. | |
It's all your dreams come true. You can't believe - the adrenaline is | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
fantastic and the feeling is superb. The nerves will kick in from today? | :40:32. | :40:37. | |
Yeah, the night before, then all morning. Hard to sleep? I was OK | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
sleeping yesterday. OK. You need to bring out a diet DVD and a sleep | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
DVD. You would be the man for that. You have to give some tips before | :40:44. | :40:50. | |
you go before tomorrow? My personal fancy is West End Rocker. $ladies | :40:50. | :40:58. | |
riding tomorrow. They could win. Yeah, Nina Carberry and Ms Walsh - | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
they could be the first-time winners. | :41:01. | :41:09. | |
Our very own Olympic eating champ Jay will be competing in the Grand | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
National at the end of the show, but now get your tissues at the | :41:13. | :41:16. | |
ready. It's time to catch up with the two Doreens. | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
At the age of just four, Doreen Smith was bused more than 200 miles | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
from her home in Ealing, London, as an evacuee to a small, rural | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
village in West Wales. Now 70 uses on, the woman who took little | :41:30. | :41:36. | |
Doreen in wants to find out what happened to her. | :41:36. | :41:38. | |
Professional people-finder Cat Whiteaway has found Doreen and | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
tracked her down at one of her usual haunts, Southall Market in | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
London. I remember going to school down there and the chapel and the | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
mountains. And were they happy times for you? Oh, yeah, definitely | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
for me. She was good for me, and I called her mum. Were you shocked to | :41:54. | :41:59. | |
find out they were looking for you? I was delighted because I didn't | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
know how to go about - I never dreamt about the computers and that | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
to look for them. And are you going to come back with me to Wales to | :42:07. | :42:12. | |
meet the family again? Yes, I would love to come back with Wales with | :42:12. | :42:19. | |
you. I would love to see her. woman who took her away from the | :42:19. | :42:23. | |
dropping bombs is also called Doreen. | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
So did you go to the chapel? Yes. So you took her as well. Did she | :42:28. | :42:34. | |
enjoy it? Oh, yeah, she must be enjoying it, as children seem to. | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
Little does Doreen know that the little girl she took in all of | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
those years ago is on her way back to Wales. It's been so long, and | :42:42. | :42:47. | |
it's really lovely that she never forgot me, the same as I didn't | :42:47. | :42:55. | |
forget her. It makes me feel like I'm coming | :42:55. | :43:05. | |
| :43:05. | :43:06. | ||
back to something that is very good Doreen has arrived in Wales but the | :43:06. | :43:11. | |
family still have no idea she is on her way to meet them. It is time to | :43:11. | :43:19. | |
reveal what we have discovered. We have been doing some research | :43:19. | :43:24. | |
into the little girl who came to stay with you all those years ago. | :43:24. | :43:29. | |
You asked us to try to find Doreen. I have done some research and I was | :43:29. | :43:36. | |
able to find her and she is still alive. Still alive. Yes. Sue was | :43:36. | :43:44. | |
married and she had four children. Four?! She is a grand mother now. | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
Good gosh. We have one more surprise for you because Doreen, | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
the little girl that you took him, isn't in London, she is here! | :43:56. | :44:03. | |
God! We had brought her here to see you. She has come to see you after | :44:03. | :44:11. | |
17 years. Can we bring her in? course. -- 70 years. Do you | :44:11. | :44:19. | |
remember me? You are looking well, aren't you? Bless you. Do you | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
remember when you were here? Yes. Good gosh. I never thought I would | :44:26. | :44:36. | |
see you again. Did you? No. It is an lovely surprise. And Doreen, who | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
spent just two years here, still remembers a Welsh him she learnt as | :44:40. | :44:50. | |
| :44:50. | :45:05. | ||
a child. THINGS IN WELSH. -- THING What an amazing moment to be part | :45:05. | :45:11. | |
of. The two Doreens who formed that incredible bond 70 years ago during | :45:11. | :45:15. | |
the war, finally brought back together. It really is lovely and | :45:15. | :45:22. | |
they have got a lot of catching up to do. | :45:22. | :45:30. | |
That is lovely! You know the words to that song, Don't you? Yes! | :45:30. | :45:34. | |
at is the first time I have seen that. You must be used to this type | :45:34. | :45:39. | |
of thing. A lot of people do not have access to research like you | :45:39. | :45:48. | |
did so have you got any tips for people? Having the right name, who | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
their parents were, if they have a middle name, did they go to school | :45:53. | :45:57. | |
with you, did they have brothers and sisters, can you remember their | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
parents' names, anything like that. Little clues, pieces of the jigsaw | :46:02. | :46:09. | |
will help. How did you get this job? It is a long story but I | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
started a business whereby a trace the beneficiaries of people who | :46:13. | :46:17. | |
have died without leaving a will and when I started to do that to | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
give them money people would say, you must be able to find my brother, | :46:22. | :46:29. | |
my cousin, you know, it has got from there. It all sound so lovely. | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
There are down sides because sometimes when I find somebody, | :46:32. | :46:39. | |
they have died. At least you can provide closure. Occasionally you | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
get people who do not want to know and sometimes some people have | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
disappeared for a reason and you have to respect that. Many people | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
might not have access to the internet. Anything else they can | :46:51. | :46:58. | |
do? A move out of their caves is what they can do. Chris! Write an | :46:58. | :47:04. | |
article, ring your local radio, send it off to your local newspaper, | :47:04. | :47:11. | |
parish newsletter, things like that. Everybody has got access to the | :47:11. | :47:18. | |
internet somewhere, surely. Yes, go to the library. Louis, you met | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
before at a night out, you and Jessica. How come? I actually can't | :47:26. | :47:31. | |
really remember the occasion. We were in the back of a taxi. You | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
fill out the story. We were at the BBC event at the Tate Gallery and | :47:35. | :47:43. | |
we all went into town. You were sharing a taxi to keep costs down | :47:43. | :47:49. | |
obviously? Yes. And that is the last thing I can remember. I was | :47:49. | :47:56. | |
dancing. You had long hair. Happy days. You would not appearing on | :47:56. | :48:00. | |
come dine with me without knowing? That may have happened later in the | :48:00. | :48:07. | |
evening. I think I might have been asked to do something like that. I | :48:07. | :48:13. | |
do not get asked to do the real one, I get asked to do the one on telly, | :48:13. | :48:23. | |
| :48:23. | :48:24. | ||
which is not quite as... I would rather do come dine with me... It | :48:24. | :48:30. | |
is the most what? We have to move on because we are rubbish. When it | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
was the last time Jamie Crawford took a snap on the One Show? Last | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
week when he was nearly beaten by a peregrine falcon. Let's send him | :48:40. | :48:44. | |
closer to space, where he is a far. Aerial photographs provide a unique | :48:45. | :48:50. | |
view of the world and I have provided pretty good shots from | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
aeroplanes and balloons but today I want to get even higher. The aim is | :48:54. | :49:00. | |
to take a satellite photograph of Britain. A picture taken from so | :49:00. | :49:04. | |
high that you can even see the curvature of the Earth. To do that, | :49:04. | :49:10. | |
I need help, in the form of an extreme aerial photographer. How | :49:10. | :49:17. | |
high will be sent the balloon? balloon will get to 100,000 feet. | :49:17. | :49:25. | |
That is a round about 19 miles. way beyond passenger aircraft? | :49:25. | :49:32. | |
About twice or three times higher We need to go that high up to | :49:32. | :49:36. | |
guarantee we will see the actual curve of the Earth. We will be in | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
the midst of the stratosphere. But despite the sky-high ambition, the | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
wicket is simple. A lot of helium, a balloon, a parachute, a box. This | :49:47. | :49:54. | |
is where the magic happens. This input polystyrene box. Inside I | :49:54. | :49:58. | |
have a point and shoot camera, which is set up to take photographs | :49:58. | :50:03. | |
every couple of minutes. I had four a video cameras which we will set | :50:03. | :50:09. | |
into the sides of the box so we can film what is happening. So how does | :50:09. | :50:16. | |
it get so 90 miles up and back down safely? It goes up with 4.5 cubic | :50:16. | :50:21. | |
metres of helium packed into this huge balloon. But then, when it | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
reaches the stratosphere, at the air pressure get so low that the | :50:25. | :50:30. | |
balloon expands to run four times the wit and bursts, leaving the box | :50:30. | :50:37. | |
to parachute back down. That is where the simplicity ends and the | :50:37. | :50:42. | |
permissions begins. We have clearance from the Civil | :50:42. | :50:46. | |
Aviation Authority and Steve is on the phone to air traffic control. | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
This is a serious space mission. We have warned the police, the | :50:50. | :50:55. | |
Highways Agency and the boxers GPS, so we can track its progress and | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
even predict where it will land but to get it to launch, we need to run. | :51:00. | :51:10. | |
| :51:10. | :51:14. | ||
For some reason, I was expecting it to rise slowly. It has gone off | :51:14. | :51:24. | |
| :51:24. | :51:24. | ||
like a rocket. And we need to get after it. By car. The balloon has | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
had a bit of a head start on us but fortunately, because of their | :51:28. | :51:33. | |
laptop, we can track exactly where it is going. We are just outside | :51:33. | :51:38. | |
Worcester and the balloon has flown beyond Milton Keynes and is heading | :51:38. | :51:44. | |
towards Cambridgeshire and Suffolk. It is heading East because as it | :51:44. | :51:50. | |
climbs, it is passing through jet streams, blowing East at up to 100 | :51:50. | :51:57. | |
mph. And after 93 minutes, as our balloon reaches nearly 19 a miles | :51:57. | :52:04. | |
up, it gives into the pressure and bursts. And starts coming down much, | :52:04. | :52:10. | |
much faster, with the Parachute deployed. | :52:10. | :52:15. | |
We are now officially descending. How quickly will this be coming out | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
of the sky? When it first starts to drop away, it will be doing | :52:19. | :52:26. | |
something like 400 mph. Really quite fast. That is because the air | :52:26. | :52:32. | |
is so thin. There is nothing for the parachute to hold onto. As it | :52:32. | :52:38. | |
gets into the low atmosphere, it slows up a lot. It should land at | :52:38. | :52:46. | |
about 10 mph and that is predicted in 42 minutes time, in Essex. And | :52:46. | :52:56. | |
| :52:56. | :53:01. | ||
spot on schedule with our team A computer forecast tells us that | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
the Parachute has touched down in Essex. They have potentially gone | :53:07. | :53:13. | |
down into a field, it is perfectly safe. Or maybe not. In the vast | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
open fields, our precious cargo has managed to land on a power cable. | :53:18. | :53:23. | |
As it is dangerous, our second team on the ground has had to call in | :53:23. | :53:27. | |
the local electricity man to turn of the power before he can rescue | :53:27. | :53:32. | |
our delicate box of gadgets. But having landed on so much | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
electricity, the question is, which have swept the images from the | :53:37. | :53:45. | |
camera. There it is! The box has been through almost as much | :53:45. | :53:55. | |
| :53:55. | :53:56. | ||
This is the moment of truth. I am rather hoping we will have some | :53:56. | :54:06. | |
| :54:06. | :54:09. | ||
This is absolutely miles above the clouds, perfectly blue clear sky! | :54:09. | :54:17. | |
My God! That is as in space as you are going to get. That shot is out | :54:17. | :54:27. | |
| :54:27. | :54:28. | ||
That was impressive. Very impressive. The One Show Grand | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
National is about to start. We could not be more excited or feel | :54:33. | :54:39. | |
more stupid. How does this compare to the real thing? Better. We are | :54:39. | :54:44. | |
nearly ready. All we need is a commentator, which it lucky because | :54:44. | :54:52. | |
Mr Alex Riley is standing by. ready. OK. Under starter's orders. | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
Get into positions. Ladies and Gentlemen, and they are off! It is | :54:57. | :55:07. | |
| :55:07. | :55:07. | ||
Jessica Heinz showing that she is not just a fantastic actress! Jay | :55:07. | :55:14. | |
Rayner is coming up on the rail! He is there! He is absolutely flying | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
despite his 11 Korsten that! We have Beryl and Betty, we have a | :55:19. | :55:26. | |
youth and experience! Carl Llewellyn is showing his class. Jay | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
Rayner, will anybody catch him? Can we get a woman to win this or will | :55:30. | :55:37. | |
it be Jay Rayner? Jay Rayner! The winner of the One Show Grand | :55:37. | :55:44. | |
National is Jay Rayner! What can I say? Here is your trophy. | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
Fortunately we have got a whole minute to interview you! I am | :55:49. | :55:54. | |
beside myself! I feel that this is possibly the highlight of my | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
achievements in a lifetime of mediocrity. Is it your first time | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
out? I have been out many times but this is the first time a horse was | :56:03. | :56:09. | |
involved. I think all those calories on the Titanic helped you. | :56:09. | :56:16. | |
She is a genius. Thank you so much to Jessica Ennis and Louis. Twenty | :56:16. | :56:21. | |
Twelve continues tonight at 10pm, and Extreme Love starts next | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
Thursday at 9pm on BBC Two. Have the great Grand National and enjoy | :56:26. | :56:32. |
