13/04/2017 The One Show

Well, hello and welcome to the One Show, with Angela Scanlon... And

Matt Baker. It is hard to believe, but this Easter marks two years

since the notorious Hatton Garden heist. Described as the largest

burglary in English legal history, thieves broke into a bald, stealing

millions in diamonds, gold bars and much more. It was all carried out by

a group of old age pensioners. There they are. It is no surprise it has

been turned into film. Tonight, we are joined by the start of The

Hatton Garden Job, a couple of diamond geezers - it's Phil and

Larry Lamb! Siam there I am - a diamond geezer! We will go into

great detail about the movie later, but what will your initial reaction

is when you saw those headlines? You thought you would get a part. Isil

it and I thought, wow, they will be making a film that. -- I saw it and

I thought, wow. The anniversary is coming up. It took two years, and it

is the anniversary. You know... It is amazing. Everybody realised it

was such a potential one for a film. Someone thought, we had better get

in there quickened David, so they did it. And that is it. The best

stories are always based in reality. Yeah, it was funny for me because my

old friend owns the building that houses the vault. He had the police

round his house that week, asking about whether he had anything to do

with it. We were talking about it on our Sunday morning walk through the

park. 15 months later, I found immense, guess what, Abbot of pay

off the - I got a part in the film about the burglary in your basement.

What did he say? I knew something good would come out of it! Some

great news for all poultry keepers out there, just in time for Easter.

As we reported in February, thousands of free range chickens

have been kept indoors for months after fears of an outbreak of avian

flu. We had a celebrate this morning as our chickens were flapping their

wings all over the place. All mandatory housing restrictions have

been lifted, and we are back in Norfolk, where Carrie has met a very

happy farmer, finally freeing his free range hens.

Two months ago, we visited Alistair on one of his free range egg farms.

At that point, the requirement to keep chickens indoors to protect

them from the risk of catching avian flu from wild birds had been in

place for months. It wasn't an easy time for farmers like Alistair. I am

not happy. It is my birds and my business on the line. Two months

later, their raise -- there is no sign of chickens in these fields.

That is about the change. The requirement to keep chickens indoors

in high risk areas has been lifted. So, today, free range hens will be

let out for the first time in four months. And once again, they will be

free. At the moment, they are still tucked away in doors, completely

unaware of their imminent release. How many birds have you got? Over

16,000 in this shed, and they've got 45 acres of grass to Rome. Why is it

safe now? I don't think it is totally safe. It is safer. We have

had a warm and dry spring, so we are further ahead of where we would be

normally at this time of year, so now is the time. Def wrap have

listened to the industry and decided -- Defra have listened to the

industry and decided to lift the restrictions. The general public

have been understanding about what we had been doing, putting stickers

on boxes and explaining to the media why we're doing this. We are keeping

people safe. How do you think they will react? I honestly don't know,

because chickens don't remember much, and they will have to get

re-acclimatise to the sunshine, the wind, the elements. Shall we have a

look? So, it is curtains up for the chickens. Yeah, the moment of truth.

First one out. What has that been like a scene that today? Quite

rewarding, and surprising as well, how well they have adapted to the

change. They have remembered where they were back in December and they

have taken to it again. What is the likelihood of anything like this

happening again? Quite likely, unfortunately. The virus is

changing, spreading through more and more parts of the world, and a

migratory birds keep coming, so the risk will continue to be there. They

clearly like it out here. It is what I am about as a free range producer.

Thank you for showing me around, Alistair. It was lovely to be part

of this, especially at Easter. Absolutely. What better time of year

to let the birds out? Great news, indeed. We have heard

from Defra, and they have told us that the risk is fallen from high to

medium. Migratory birds have left the UK in majority and the virus

will degrade more quickly with the increased daylight hours. Phil, you

were one of the voices in Chicken Run. That'll must have taken your

back. Quite emotional, really. I wasn't a chicken, I was a rat, and

they remember more than chickens. You are not a rat in your new film.

In tribute to the film in which you break into a bold, we are going to

raid the vaults of Larry and filter night. We're unlocking hidden gems

from the back catalogue $:/STARTFEED.. Unfortunately,

someone has been in and they have taken all the good stuff!

Choose a safety deposit box. First of all, Phil... Wing number two. --

number two. You were doing a duet with Carrie Kemp -- Gary Kemp from

Spandau Ballet. # I have been there

# You have been here # We ain't had no time to drink that

the... #. APPLAUSE

We went to a children's's theatre, we were great mates and we used to

play guitars together and sing America songs, and our Rome. Do you

still play a bit? Yes, a bit. Larry, bigger box. Number three. Here is a

scene from 1983's Superman III. Seve can recognise the very crabby miner.

Does your boss own this operation? Tell him he would do well to give

this guy a job. I thought I was going to get a trip

to the United States, but that was filmed at Battersea Power Station!

It was nice to work with those people. Yeah, it's funny you should

play that. That is a funny one. I lived and worked in that part of

America for a long time, and to play an old appellation coalminer, or a

young one, as I was then, it was a treat. It all went seriously wrong.

Still going, still in the movies, Larry. Now, the Hatton Garden Heist

put the historic jeweller redistrict into the spotlight, but Larry has

been keeping the digging deep for us, meeting the people who make

Hatton Garden shine. It is the centre of the UK diamond trade, but

are these old school businesses and trade is under threat?

Our new film tells the story of the notorious Hatton Garden Heist. It is

the biggest theft in history. A gang of criminals, including some very

active pensioners, drilled this whole through the concrete walls of

the vault. They forced open safety deposit boxes containing cash,

jewellery and other valuables. They were estimated at ?25 million in

value. It has been described as the largest burglary in English legal

history. It is a story that caught the public's imagination, so the One

Show has asked me to see what I can find out about the real Hatton

Garden. It is a unique concentration of jewellery shops. I don't think

you will find it anywhere else. Mime. -- my mum got her wedding ring

at Hatton Garden, so it is traditional to come and look.

One-man who has seen the area involved is 94-year-old Robert Holt.

Remarkably, he is still working here today. It is something special,

because people know each other, and many of them have been there nearly

as long as I have. We get together, have a drink, and it is a bit of a

family situation. Today, ie a meeting one of the new kids on the

block. -- I am meeting one of the new kids on the block. 31-year-old

Diamond Mount Alex Tomlinson tells me why, as an aspiring young

jeweller, Hatton Garden is the place to be. If you want to be the best,

at the top, you have to be here. What would you say is the most

important thing about working here? To have everything at my fingertips

is essential. You have a diamond dealer next door, a bullion dealer

down the road. Everything is close, a nice hub. At the centre of that is

the one tonne pub, the ideal place for Alex to introduce me to more me

tomorrow the locals. I have been in Hatton Garden now for nearly 30

years. Patrick is one of Hatton Gardens' many bespoke jewellers. You

felt you were treading in the footsteps of generations and

generations. The quality of work is unsurpassed, the best in the world.

The lifeblood of Hatton Garden is the apprentices. Jewellery designer

Jeff Murray has been working in Hatton Garden for 13 years after

landing work experience there at the age of 19. You have 16-year-old guys

coming out of school, coming to work in a workshop, learning a trade,

learning how it is done and being part of the fabric of Hatton Garden.

I loved it. As I talked to the guys, they are passion for this place and

the jewellery is clear. Sitting between the City of London in the

West End, this is an area of prime real estate, and there is concern

that other businesses will move in and change the face of Hatton Garden

for good. The principal threat is rent. Ours has gone up 65%.

Malcolmers, polishes and setters are leaving. What does that mean for the

talent? Some of the places on offer are very small, in the basement, not

much light. It poses a big problem. Could you envisage going somewhere

else? I don't want to, but it could be a reality. How does that feel?

You are not sure of the future of your business. Their concerns are

also shared by other local businessmen like Gary Williams. He

is working to save Hatton Gardens' future buys starting a business

improvement district. Gary, what is a business improvement area?

Businesses pay a small levy on their rates, and hopefully in five years

we will have an investment of ?2.5 million to spend on improving the

area to support the remaining jewellery trade in Hatton Garden. I

think it is good to keep the trade here. I am worried that if the

workshops will be able to survive. You and I and the rest of the try,

we need to keep educating the developers on what we need at each

stage. When I was filming The Hatton Garden Job, I didn't know much about

the place of the people who work here. I hope the efforts they are

making to hang on to the character of London's gold jewellery Quarter

work out and that Hatton Garden never stops having its sparkle.

Larry, let's pick up on that thought. What a shame that these

places are under threat. I know, and the thing is, you get the sense when

you talk to people that despite the fact that there is this huge

invasion every day of of people coming in and coming through, there

is still this community there will stop it has changed over the years

but it has paid there, and people do feel this thing. This thing of it

all being interconnected, they relied on little work spaces in the

building where the vault is. You go at there, and it is full of little

businesses. The rents go up and up, and you are sitting there right in

the middle, the West End one side, the city on the other, and their

writ is right in the middle, prime for development. This is the case

all over the UK. You get these pockets that are renowned for

something and should be protected. They are doing their best, but it is

very difficult because, you know, the march of time and of money, it

just grabs everything and takes it on.

Well, Crossrail as well and Soho is being battered by Crossrail. You

guys got to spend a long time in Hatton Garden whilst filming this.

For guys, the characters, with the average age of 70. They tied it up,

about 400 years altogether, I think. Nice to be part of that, our careers

have finally paid off. Do you think that was part of the appeal? I can

remember when, the story, it was like somebody was writing it. Over

the course of a bank holiday weekend, this happened. Then you

find out that this has gone on, then you'd find that it hasn't gone to

India, it isn't in the Middle East or the near East. Then it turns out

it was a bunch of pensioners who had done it and one of them looks just

like him. We saw all the aces at the start. I'm the only one who isn't a

pensioner, by the way. Tell us about your character. I play Danny Jones,

who is sort of a fixer, really. He is a fitness fanatic, does a bit of

running, likes to do a bit of Army training. But I didn't have time to

dye my hair grey. He's quite an eccentric trap as well? Yes. He

liked to wear a fez. You wore one, didn't you? I did wear a fez but

it's not in the film any more. Larry, you're the leader of the

pack? Yes, I am the old experienced bank burglar, the bank robber. They

are from different branches of the criminal world and they say this is

the guy who knows the way to get you into that bolts. The young guy will

get you into the building, you as a group of older guys have the

experience to get into the vault and do the job. Let's have a look at

when you get into the gang together. Muscle. Terry Perkins. Pulled up the

biggest cash blag in British history. Spent most of the 90s on

the run. You say on the run, he was living back on his mum 's house. The

police would have found him if he'd -- if they don their digging. He

couldn't do with her nagging in the end, so he handed himself in. I

happen to know that he is itching to get back in the game. I mean, you

forget that it's based on a true story and that there were real

victims in this. People say that you shouldn't do this because it

glorifies crime, but they are all serving a minimum of six years each.

They got away with the crime but then they all got caught

subsequently because somebody made a bit of a mistake. There's no

glorification when you see they are all in the slammer. Is there one guy

on the loose? The young guy, the middleman, he is still on the lease

and nobody knows who he is. There is still a bit of money on the lease as

well? Still quite a bit of wedge. The iconic shot of those holes that

they drilled and you did this for real, didn't you? We have been

signed -- behind-the-scenes footage. Is it right that you drilled the

equivalent of what they did? We attempted to. We got the drill and

dried. It was imported from the director's point of view that you

tried to do it properly? We had a concrete wall that we drilled

through. We did some of it and expert drillers did it as well. We

stood around and pretended. Very butch. Oh, I just drilled through

two feet of concrete. That is TV! Listen, we are going to have one

last look in our vault here. Larry, we couldn't resist playing this from

an 80s soap set aboard a North Sea ferry. Oh, you know where we going.

Well, we seem to be trying to prove that the inevitable can be postponed

indefinitely. And why would we want to do that? I don't know. Well! What

a line. How did you keep a straight face? The trouble is, it all went

time later -- went off later on when she said, darling, you are on

television and we don't do tongues. That was Kate O'Mara. I tried it on

with her, she was a happily married woman and she was having none of it!

She was just lovely. We had a terrible situation and it kept going

wrong. I was opposed to dive into a swimming pool whilst she was

swimming and I was supposed to pop up alongside her, romantic, like in

a James Bond film, but as I did, the entire contents of my brain fell

through my nose and it also told went down my face, like that, and

just thereby went to kiss her, she went... Cut. Let's do that again.

That's lovely. Apologies if you are having your teeth. That's what I

said to have. Let's see if we can follow that with George McGavin he

has also been hunting for treasures. But his prize is of the feathered

variety. The Scottish Highlands, a land of extremes. I am on the Trail

of something great and something very small. And it's brought me to

the field centre here. It's home to some of the biggest trees in

Britain, like the Sequoia, and also one of its smallest birds, the tree

creeper. These little birds love Bach. It provides them with insects

to hunt and crevices to nest and hide in. But the bark of Sequoia is

extra special. This ancient species is relatively new to Britain. They

were brought here as seeds in the 1800s from their native California,

where they can grade two 60m and lived for over 3000 years. If you

look at the bark of the Sequoia is here, you will sometimes see a

little hollow like this. It has been made by a tree creeper. The fibrous

nature of the Sequoia bark makes it an incredibly good thermal

insulator. When the tree creepers hunker down in there, it's got a

blanket against the cold and this has got to be the warmest place in

the whole forest. Because the birds are so tiny, it's something that's

really tiny to actually see. So I'm meeting up with wildlife

photographer legend, Laurie Campbell, who has been following the

tree creepers here for over three years. The one thing I have do ask

you is you have a particular fascination with this bird. Why?

They are really specialised bird. Their behaviour and their roosting

at the bark of Sequoia trees. As a photographer, you always try to do

something different. His recent mission has been to try to capture

an image which shows a dramatic difference in scale. The tiny tree

creeper in the giant Sequoia against the vast universe behind, but all in

one shot and with no manipulation. We wait until dark and then head out

in the hope that I can see a tree creeper and Laurie can get his

ultimate photo. First up, the main tree where he's seen them roosting

over the past two winters. So, that's a bit of a blow. It's not

there. It's not there? We have another five trees to check though.

Shall we. I am still quietly optimistic. There are some nice

hollows there. There is one. It's there. Oh my God, it is! The last

tree. It is kind of fluffed out. Then you have got these two tail

feathers bracing itself. To think that such a tiny bird is using this

enormous great tree in this way. Wow. But, there's a problem. Laurie

doesn't know this bird or how it will react and getting close could

frighten it off. I've no idea how steady this bird is. I'd be

reluctant to have a go at it for the sake of the bird. On a cold winter's

night like this, it would have to use energy which it doesn't have do.

It would sap its reserves. A disappointment for Laurie, but after

several chilly nights trying, he did at last managed to get that shot

with a different bird. You remember the first tree be looked at, this

shot was taken there. That's the shot that I really wanted. Oh my

goodness, that is amazing. You have got everything. The tree bark, the

tree creeper in its hollow and the tree and universe. That is a picture

to be proud of. You only need the one and that's it.

A big thank you to them up in the Scottish Highlands. Now, joining us,

he may not be part of the Hatton Garden gang, but he is the brains

behind our operation. It's Gyles. Do you know, there is none so thick as

this. I have been doing -- none so thick as thieves. I have been

researching the top three gaffes. Larry, this might ring true with you

because it's about the Great Train Robbery, a mail train running from

Glasgow to London and 2.6 million was robbed. They seemed to get away

with it. They disappeared. They found themselves on a farm,

somewhere near Buckinghamshire, and they were there and they escaped.

They were going to get away with it except that while they were there

waiting, sorting through the money, they decided to play Monopoly. They

had a monopoly sat there and they played Monopoly using all the money,

then they scarpered taking all the money with them but leaving behind

the Monopoly board, covered in their fingerprints, and so all of them

were caught, including the ringleader, Bruce Reynolds, which

you played in the film of the Great Train Robbery, I believe is I did,

and that was it. Just a silly mistake. Someone left their gloves

off just for a view minutes. Yes, bus that was busted. The next one I

have got, I am calling this, Always Cheque Your Work. This goes back to

2007 when a robber called Forest Kelly Bissonette of Colorado decided

to rob the local bank. He went into the back with a note demanding

$5,000. He passed the note to the cashier, demanded the money, but

unfortunately what he was using to write his note was actually one of

his own checks, and on the other side was his name, his own bank etc.

He had tried to scrub it out but it was still visibly -- still visible,

so he was caught easily. And you have another one? This is my

favourite, the great Colombian heist. Rum, oil, Rice. Cans of tuna

were stolen. Can you get away what the getaway vehicle was? What

vehicle would you have chosen? It was a donkey! Can we point out for

legal reasons that this is not the actual donkey. The wait was so great

on the donkey that he began braying, the noise alerted the police and

soon the braying was matched with the sirens of the police cars and

the robbers were caught. They had to give back their sardines? There will

be a movie in due course. Thank you for your research but we think the

sirens are here, aren't they? You'd better run. Scapa. Listen, we went

their word. Larry, Phil, thank you very much. The Hatton Garden Job is

in tomorrow. I will be back tomorrow with Al Murray and we will be

talking to Rhod Gilbert and James are the bands, take note. He
