13/05/2016 The One Show

Hello! Welcome to The One Show. Well, it may be Friday 13th but we

are hoping that the guest presenter tonight has had enough bad luck for

one day. Everybody, it is king of The Chase it is Bradley Walsh. Are

you feeling lucky tonight? I am, the fact that I am working with you,

Alex. That's a good start. The right thing

to say. Joining us in the studio, me may have gone deep undercorp for his

new serious but tonight we have the real, Adrian Lester.

Nice to see you. Welcome, Adrian, nice to see you.

You must be pleased after winning the Premiership last weekend...

Sorry, wrong Leicester! I was wondering where you were going with

that? Are you superstitious? No, I am not but many actors are.

You are not allowed to whistle? No, not at all, as the sailors operated

the rigging, fanned you whistled back stage, you may drop something

or hurt an actor. A Scottish plane... Yes, that

instead of Mmmm, yeah. So, you don't do it, over the three

drains, saluting magpie, all of that? Are you superstitious? Yeah, I

am superstitious. I always salute a magpie. It is

easy, just do it. Has one magpie saluted you back? No!

Well, some are more superstitious than others but we all have fingers

crossed that our musician can take on the challenge we have set him.

Please, welcome Beardyman! You know one thing I have noticed about

Beardyman, he does not have a beard. Can we call you Shaving

Jon Platt travelled from the Isle of Wight to London for the hearing. Did

he get permission to go from the school? Who knows? Here's Nick

Wallis. Businessmen Jon Platt is preparing for what could be his most

expensive business trip ever. Find ?120 for taking his seven-year-old

daughter out of school to go on holiday, you refused to pay? And

locked in a legal battle not of my choosing. He's travelling from his

home on the Isle of Wight to the High Court in London to fight it. If

the decision goes against him, he could face court costs of more than

?20,000. If I lose, I will suck it up.

Jon Platt's troubles began when he took a family holiday to Florida in

term time. They will get a great experience.

Have quality family time. Going back to school happy and motivated.

If there is a child out of class, it is unsettling, the child comes back

to the class, talking about the holiday, the parents see it as

unfair? In the last few months, I have been inundated with messages

from teachers and head teachers with a different view. They think it is

valuable for children to go on holidays.

But many disagree. Jon Platt admits he is stubborn. He

is adamant that the law only needs to attend school regularly. Which

his daughter does. The Isle of Wight council doesn't agree and wants the

decision clarified. This decision is important for every

parent in England. It's the morning of the court case.

An hour to go, how are you feeling? Apprehensive. Looking forward to get

in there. Hoping it goes well. Let's go.

This shows how much of a nerve Jon's case touched. 80,000 parents were

fined for pupil absence, including Jackie Turner, who took her

daughter, backpacking for three weeks. Paying ?600 in fines and

court costs. But no-one has gone this far to fight the fines.

There are intense legal arguments going on in there. But it boiling

down to one thing: If Jon wins, thousands of parents in England will

be able to take their children on holiday during term time without

fear of prosecution. Results time, it is victory for Jon

Platt, he should not have been fined.

Absolutely I'm delighted with the outcome of the case, as will

hundreds of thousands of parents across England. We have lived with a

situation where taking a kids on a family holiday, amounted to a

criminal offence across the country. I have to do something with The One

Show... I think that the law is perfect. I think there is nothing

wrong with the law. The law doesn't need to be changed. The law is

clear. If your kids go to school regularly, you can take them on

holiday in term time. The Government is to look at the law

but adds that the attendance at school is nonnegotiable.

Thank you very much to Jon. The ruling only applies in England. In

Northern Ireland, parents are not fined for taking children on holiday

in term time. In Wales they can go on holiday for up to ten days with

the head's permission. In Scotland, term time counterpart

as holidays. It is up to the council to decide on

their sanctions. The lady that took her child

backpacking, you you are able to learn more... Yes, depending on

where the holiday is. There is an argument for it.

If you are travelling around Adrian, you are going to have fun. Adrian,

you have a couple of girls have you taken them out of school to go on

holiday? A couple of times but in primary school. Secary school it is

a different ball game. It is more serious. There was a point where we

took the kids out of school for a week but my eldest attended school

in New York, which is where we were. We were working away from home.

What an experience for her. Yes. Last time you were here,

Adrian, you were about to start in a stage play called Red Velvet,

telling how much you loved being in theatre. So Undercover is an

exception for you? It is. It is the only time I have had the complexity

of role that I normally find on stage, on screen. The character of

Nick, the emotional weight of the piece, my scenes with Sophie and so

on. Whether he is lying or telling the truth, all of that stuff. I

normally only get to play that kind of character on stage.

Well, we have an exclusive look at a clip from the last episode on

Sunday. Let's have a look. You need someone at the heart of the

story on the inside, gathering all of the evidence. You... I am on your

side. I can work for you now. They trust you. All you have to do is...

Trust me. APPLAUSE.

You mentioned Sophie, you work incredible yes well together on this

but you were at college together weren't you? Yes.

Was it weird playing husband and wife? It was strange. Sophie was the

year below me at RADA, she was the same year as my wife. I got to know

her at RADA and others in her year, so to work with her all of these

years later is good. Peter Mofatt writes a lot of crime

stuff. Did he use past cases of people going undercover? Oh, yes,

yes. He was fired up to write this drama because of what he had read in

the #234u7 and what he had seen in documentaries. Peter is vocal about

it. It made him angry that the police would take the liberty of

abusing the power that they had by putting people undercover and having

them marry the people that they were spying on. Having children with

people, and not telling them the truth, not tell them who they were.

And then disappear when the assignment came to an end. To invent

a dead or dying relative or mental health problems in order to get

extracted and get away from the situation.

What was your approach to play a character like this? Did you do

research and spend time with people undercover in real life? No, I

didn't spend time with anybody. I did a lot of reading. For the way

that the drama works, I concentrated on Nick as a father. The emotional

weight of what my Charles Kennedy goes through is from the

relationship with his weight and children -- the emotional weight of

what my character does. Have you watched yourself back

having been directed in stuff like this and thought you could have done

it better? All the time! All the time! Well, the wait is finally over

on Sunday when the final episode of Undercover is on BBC One at 9.00pm.

If you missed the series, the DVD is out next week.

Good plug. Beardyman is over there making our

exclusive track using sounds from the show tonight. How are you

getting on? Very well, thank you. I'm good but you have a lot on your

plate? Do you need any more sounds? Whatever you want to give me.

I will count you down. 3, 2, 1, hit it.

MUSIC: BEAT BOX.

Oh, Adrian, hello. That is good. Brilliant. Not as good as him! That

was great. It was better than mine.

Do yours! See... One of the techniques that Beardyman is using

is backmasking. Back scratching is good... No, no,

back masking. Here is Richard Mainwaring to explain.

50 years after being released, Beatles album, Revolve eris as fresh

as ever. The group's 7th album marked a new direction. And the fans

loved it. There were tracks including

favourites like Yellow Submarine, Eleanor Rigby and Taxman. But I'm

interested in some of the songs from the 1966 recording session, the ones

that used back masking. Back masking is the tech technique

of recording an instrument or vocal backwards. It is all over Revolver.

It produces an ethey areal sound. Evident on the vocals at the end of

Rain, recorded in the same session. -- etheral sound.

There is a debate as to who came up with it John Lennon says he took a

tape home, played it a little worse for wear, and played it backwards.

And loved the sound. George Martin, an expert on sound effects said

there was a space there. He thought of flipping the tape over. He put it

in, John Lennon loved it. Was it John, George? We will never know.

But how does it work in the studio? Take I'm Only Sleeping. It has lots

of tracks laid over each other. Then you have to figure out the backwards

melody. You have to capture the other worldly sound that playing

something backwards produces. So you have to put everything you recorded

together, listen to it backwards and try to find the impro-isation to

match. The solo on I'm Only Sleeping, that

is a composed backwards solo. George Harrison, instead of playing

randomly, and saying it sounds nice, he chose it in a line but backwards.

That is a difficult process. That is a six or a seven-hour session. The

chief engineer said it was a long day. My take is that it is pleased

that George Harrison took the time. We got a beautiful piece of music.

This is what I recorded... AND this is what it sounds like

reversed... # When I'm in the middle of a dream

# Stay in bed... Not bad. The Beatles didn't have the original

idea for this. Thomas Edison, inventor of the phonograph, found

that rotating a cylinder backwards made a still melodious suite and

novel sound. Before that, Mozart is the composer attributed to a mirror

duet where the tee Micha since -- two musicians play the same piece of

music, but one of them plays it upside down and backwards. The light

full. The Beatles popularised this backwards technique, and now there

is a multitude of examples in modern music. Backmasking has been used in

many different ways in the last 50 years since Revolver. The Who, The

Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix. The Stone Roses tried to evoke the

psychedelic feel the Beatles presented. We happy song Waterfall,

and then Don't Stop, which is Waterfall flipped over. US rock band

Tool has been plagued by censorship with people looking for dark

messages in their lyrics. They pulled a fast one on the song

Intention. They used backmasking and it sounded quite demotic. It says,

work hard, stay in school. It's something that isn't exactly what

the sensors would be looking for. As with so much of modern music, you

have to go backwards to the greats before you can go forwards. Thank

you to Mozart, Edison and the Beatles. STUDIO: And thank you

Richard. Lucy is with us now for some backchat these so-called

subliminal messages, they have caused a storm in the past.

Goodness, yes. Through the 70s, progressive rock and the heavy metal

era, right into the 90s, it kind of caused a moral panic in parts of the

US. And social groups, particularly the Christian right were looking for

subliminal messaging especially in heavy-metal albums. Some states came

quite close to legislating against it. Albums would have had to have

stickers on the front cover is saying it contains subliminal

messaging. In Arkansas and California. And in Arkansas it

almost became law. Until one senator refused. It was Bill Clinton.

Backwards, that's Notlinc. Tell us about Judas Priest. In 1985 two men

entered into a suicide pact. One of them shot himself, and the other

into a coma but recovered. They said that they had been influenced by

Judas Priest album. The family brought a lawsuit against Judas

Priest and in 1990 we had a bizarre and surreal situation where Judas

Priest went to court in Nevada wearing suits rather than their

customary black leather, and expert witnesses and the judge literally

listened to their back catalogue forward and backward. At one point

Rob Halford had to sing a cappella in the dock. The band wanted to show

how ridiculous it was and an expert witness said he could see subliminal

messaging in everything from the Sistine Chapel to Ritz crackers. If

somebody tells you you can hear something in music played backwards,

you usually can. This one is from the B-52s. We can play forward

first. MUSIC: Detour Through

Your Mind by The B52's. And we play it backwards.

# Playing your rapid backwards, watch out. You might ruin your

needle. This was deliberate. It was intentional and a joke, a take off

of the whole subliminal messaging thing that is quite ridiculous. You

might ruin your needle, for younger viewers, that means on your record

player. Thank you! Now, what would a dog go

to watch at the flicks? We've been coming up with dog

film puns all afternoon. There is a dog cinema in Barking!

Nice. I like this one. MUSIC: Misirlou by Dick

Dale and The Deltones. MUSIC: Jurassic Park

Theme by John Williams. MUSIC: Love Me Like You Do

by Ellie Goulding. My personal favourite, 50 Shades of

Greyhound. A sad. In his flat with no furniture.

The reason we've been doing this is because Alex Riley has been

to a very unusual cinema, that's opening its doors

One adult and one dog these. A dog taking the leading role in a film is

nothing new, Lassie, Snoopy and Beethoven are major stars in a own

right. What is new to London's west end is a cinema showing films for

dogs and their humans. Let's get some biscuits. OK Barley, let's see

what the fuss is about. Daniel Andree is the cinema manager, he's

on the left. What have you got planned? We have more than 50 dogs

coming to watch a movie. What happens when 50 dogs get together,

when two dogs come together they start biting and jumping on each

other. We allocate an hour for the dogs to introduce themselves to each

other. My dog can get very excited but as soon as she smells their

bottom, she is fine. This is a scary bit, you might want to look away.

DRAMATIC MUSIC We know dogs are great but they have

a tendency to go to the toilet where ever they are. We have the seat

covers, and the cleaning team are ready, and after the screening the

screen is completely cleaned and flea treated. We have a person

giving a massage to the dogs. How long can a dog concentrate on a film

for? My dog will sleep through them, she is only interested for ten

minutes will stop unless there are other dogs on screen. This popcorn

is delicious. I'm going to get some more. See you in a minute.

He loves the cinema! He can't have been before. She likes animal films,

Lassie. What happens when Lassie comes on the screen? She goes up to

the screen and has a look. This is the cinema, I'm not sure they would

be happy with that. It's great for him to come to the cinema and be

with me. If Barley was a serial Barker then I wouldn't even think

about winning into an event like this. It's something you can do

together as a family. Exactly. Enjoy the show. This dog friendly

screening of Laurie Anderson's Heart of a Dog is part of a series of

films celebrating the relationship people have with their four-legged

friends. It's a film constructed as a car large of you sick and

animation. Hope these dogs like it. I don't believe it, I've seen this

one before! They seem to love it. I would love

to take my Jack Russell. The time is nearly come for Beardyman's one The

One Show remix. What are you doing in Edinburgh this year? It's Friday

the 13th. BEATBOXING. CREEPY LAUGHING. That's amazing. Wow. Does

it have time to go wrong? It never goes wrong! Where did your name

Beardyman come from? I used to have a beard. I wish it was more exciting

than that. You have this equipment here, it's the... Beardytron. It's

what everyone who saw me called it. Nobody has ever done this on live

television before. It's madness. If it doesn't work, blame me, blame the

technology. And it's Friday the 13th. No superstitions it, you will

be fine. We can have a listen. Take it away.

# Nearly 50 years after it was first released, the Beatles album revolver

tastes as fresh... As ever. Fresh. But I'm interested in... Dogs.

BEATBOXING. WHAT ABOUT THIS ONE THEN... SECTIONS

OF THE ONE SHOW THEME JUNE. Let's go Barley, let's get some

biscuits! APPLAUSE

Beardyman, everyone. Sensational. You look properly impressed. I want

it all at home to play with. He might give you a go, who knows.

Now, before we go - yesterday we showed some

photos of unidentified First World War British soldiers

and your response so far has been fantastic -

the entire catalogue of almost 1500 pictures are now

identify anyone please go to our website for details.

That's all we've got time for tonight.

Thank you to Adrian for joining us, and remember the final explosive

episode of Undercover is on BBC One at 9pm on Sunday.

Thanks to Bradley - I'll be back with Matt on Monday

when X-Man James McAvoy will be here - see you then.
