13/06/2011 The One Show

Hello and welcome to The One Show, with Alex Jones... And Matt Baker.

Now, see if you can fill in the blanks with our guest tonight.

radio to television, from Children in Need To Euro vision, for half-a-

century, he has been a complete and utter blank in the entertainment

business. And he has been entertaining the public with his

perky Irish blank. Have you got it yet? It is Sir Terry Blank! We will

come back. How are you? That is a hot war been welcomed. If I could

reach across two sloppy both... -- a heart-warming welcomed. I am

unchanged. And Sir Brucie has now joined due in the night had rung.

If he has. And I am rather resentful. I thought I had

something rather exclusive. I am delighted for him, of course. Who

could deny him. He has been king of Saturday-night television since the

poll of police and war, really! Everybody is thrilled. Back in the

Dark Ages, knights used to joust. We have interesting footage of some

battles here. # Shine your light on me!

# It isn't easy when the sun goes down!

Mercifully, I had forgotten that! Was macro thing I hope you have not

forgotten is that back in 2003, I gave you a very special award. Was

the bold blue Peter badge I gave you more than your night at? -- and

gold Blue Peter badge. No! I'm glad you didn't ask me where it is.

haven't sold it? I have lost my sword from my knighthood as well,

though. We know we have got some highly accomplished he was, so if

you have been mentioned in the honours list or if you are proud of

a member of your family who has, we want to know who you are. Yes, it

could be an OBE, MBE or even a night at. Get them out! Send a

message to arrive email address or to our Facebook page and we what --

we will read some out at the end of the show. We are now going to take

a little peek -- later on we are going to take a peek behind the

scenes of your new shows. If you find out your child is taking drugs,

it is a terrifying thing. We speak to a mother who carried out a

desperate act to save her daughter. Tabitha has always had a loving

relationship with her mother, Julia. She has always been a very clever

trialled. She always had her arms around me and was 8 mum's belt. A

very lovely child and a very cuddly teenager. We were close, me and my

mum. We were like friends as well as mother and daughter. But that

Bond was pushed to breaking point by Julia's discovery that Tabitha

had developed an 80 pound a day addiction to heroin. I thought I

could lose her at any moment. She could take that fatal dose... It

was total grief. Total devastating grief. We literally cried and cried

and cried. It made me more dishonest. Because obviously, I was

looking for things to pay my way and I didn't really came where it

came from. -- I didn't care. Money, jewellery, electric things.

Everything, really. Everything. veins are collapsing or have been

seriously damaged by her injecting this filthy, evil drug into herself.

But she is still my baby and I will do anything for her and I will do

anything to defend her and protector. The family home became a

battleground. Tabitha's addiction to heroin ultimately proved too

much for Julia to take. Was that sense of helplessness and

desperation what was going to turn Julia from being an everyday

working mum in to somebody about to break the law? Tabard there was

planning a visit to a local drug dealer but her mother and her ex-

boyfriend resorted to extraordinary measures to keeper at home.

Basically, he was telling me, you cannot let her go out again, she is

going to kill herself. We need to keep her in. I Sellotaped her legs

together to stop her going out of the house, just beneath her knees

and above her ankles, simply because I wanted to stop her from

running. On reflection, it sounds a bit extreme but it was a spur-of-

the-moment thing. I thought, you cannot keep me in forever. One way

or another, I am going to get out. It didn't seem rational to lock

somebody up because you have to let them go at some point but rebels

stop tide and bound, Tabitha was injured by Christopher Turin that

scuffle. Both her mother and Christopher were arrested. It was

the wrong thing for me to do and I should have let her go and do what

she wanted to do. In the eyes of the law. In the eyes of the law it

is what I should have done. But as a mother? No, of course I would do

the same thing tomorrow, if it meant locking the door. Of course I

would. I had to go one way or the other and I wanted to keep her safe.

Tabitha wrote to the court pleading for her mum to be shown leniency,

but those pleas fell on deaf ears. Julia was found guilty and

sentenced to 12 months in jail. Christopher was also convicted of

false imprisonment as well as being found guilty of actual bodily harm,

and had an 18 month sentence. After three months behind bars, Julia has

been allowed to serve the rest of her time at home in Dover, but that

means having to wear an electronic tag 24 hours a day. Where is it? It

is on my ankle. Are you were allowed out here? I am but not

after 7pm at night and not before 8am in the morning. If it was found

to be absent, I could be arrested. What is it like living like that?

It is not so bad. I am not imprisoned. It is a small price to

pay. It is a bit prohibitive but it is a small price to pay to be at

home and with my family. Tabitha is now using methadone instead of

heroin in a bid to finally bring her addiction to drugs to an end.

have to accept the fact she is going to live as an adult and make

lots of decisions I won't agree with all stop it is just the whole

addiction was quite extreme. It is not something I think any parent

can ignore. But I think there's not anything we can't do. Vivienne

Evans is here, the head of Adfam, an organisation that supports

families dealing with drug and alcohol use. It is kind of a shock

reaction. What did you make of what Julia bid? Parents do feel like

taking very desperate measures. It is a shame that Juliet did not talk

to her local drugs service. They might have been able to refer to

his specialist family support service because they do exist

across the country and they can offer information and advice,

perhaps using a helpline, offer support and counselling, often 1-1

and also counselling support groups, so she would have been able to talk

to other parents in the same situation. There are some that

offer an intensive therapeutic way of working so they work with the

whole family to see what is going on and help them to communicate. It

is so desperate. And think it was so desperate. Tabitha so much

needed help herself but what we find is that if parents cannot find

support for them in their own right, they are not actually able to cope

with the situation. We heard there that Julia was sentenced to prison

for her actions. Burglars don't get prison. Terry, do you think this is

extreme? It is one of those things you need the wisdom of Solomon Paul

Foster up I am not qualified to say one way or the other, as most

people are. It seems excessive. To send a woman to prison... It is

quite perverse. The more cases like this we hero of, the more airtime

it gets and I had the better it will be for families. -- the more

cases like this we hear of. The less they speak out, the more

stigma they feel. You don't get an OBE or a knighthood for being a

drug user. I think the more we hear of stories like this, extreme

though they may be, it does highlight the problem, and one

thing we want to do is bring it out into the open sewer more families

will get the support they require. Thank you very much. If you need

help or advice on this issue, there are links on our website. We are

just hearing that we have had an MBE popping down from Scotland. Two

Moore, Francis Drake, so Walter Raleigh and Admiral Lord Nelson.

You can and bows to Britain's euros. But Dan Snow thinks there is one

opera -- one more name we should add.

As great men's graves go, you would be forgiven for thinking this one

was nearly dead and buried. And yet here, in his final resting place in

his simple churchyard in south London is a colossus of British

history. Add more Robert FitzRoy's most visionary seafarer -- Aberthaw

Robert FitzRoy was the most visionary see fair of his time. His

entire life was a voyage of discovery. And on one voyage, his

discovery changed the world. He made weather forecasting a science

and even found at the Met Office, and all before Victoria was on the

throne. He was a highly respected sailor, one of the best. If he had

been born a generation or so earlier, he would probably have

been the person who discovered Australia. Several of the officers

wrote later that they thought when they joined his ship that they

thought they knew everything there was to know about sailing but he

taught them much more. For a man who had the X Factor in his day,

just how did he become history's forgotten man? His adventures began

in a frosty Plymouth in December, 1831. After months of frustrating

delays, FitzRoy finally got underway. It had been the most

important voyage of his life, and his mission was to circumnavigate

and map the world. His command was HMS Beagle. It was to be an epic

journey through uncharted waters to the far side of the world and at

times, it would be lonely. That is why he brought with him a man who

shared his enthusiasm for Christianity and the natural world.

A relatively unknown scientist called Charles Darwin. But in 1831,

it wasn't Charles Darwin making waves. It was Robert FitzRoy. And

he did it by using these. This is a chronometer, a real time machine.

It is a highly engineered clock and he had 22 on board. He paid for six

himself and he paid for his scientist to service them. This

cutting-edge technology pay both the way for huge scientific

discovery. -- paved the way. When you want to position yourself on a

chart, you need to know what time it is where you are and what high

and this provides you with Greenwich time and you must not let

it stop or move the hands, so you would establish noon in Tahiti and

then established her own time and the time difference provides you

with how from round the world you are. -- how far around the world.

Using his readings, maps became more accurate than ever. This was a

revelation and it changed travel forever. He came home hero, the

mission a resounding triumph. But it was soon eclipsed by his little

known shipmate. While FitzRoy had been wrapping the world, Darwin had

come up with a radical new explanation of life on Earth.

FitzRoy might have unlocked the secrets of the sea. If Darwin had

discovered the secret of life Fitzroy was horrified by Darwin's

theory and blamed himself for taking the young naturalist on

board. Unable to live with his own anguish, he eventually took his own

life. But his legacy lived on. Sailors were still using his maps

100 years after his death. It is about time we remembered Robert

Fitzroy for being a lot more than just the other bloke on the Beagle.

The shipping forecast, Fitzroy, isolated showers, good. South

Fitzroy, rain at times, moderate or good. South Fitzroy, fair, good.

Great to hear the great man immortalised in the shipping

forecast. Broadcast on Radio 4. Do you ever venture on to Radio 4?

use to slum it in the early morning when I would get up and have my

fruit breakfast, all five, no vegetables! And I would turn on

Radio 4 to find out what happened. And I would then come armoured with

information. I don't do that now. I don't get up early enough. But I do

wake about sixth.00 in the morning, I'm an old guy now. But I fall over

-- turn over and fall asleep again. Now, back to the beginning. Radio

was a big passion of yours as a child? I was brought up, born in a

town in Ireland called Limerick on the mouth of the Shannon. I suppose,

unlike most of my peers, I grew up listening to not Irish radio but

the BBC light programmes. Take It From Here, The Goons Show. They

were my influences. I was formed by the BBC. So, when I eventually came

to work here, it wasn't that much of a wrench. There was a

frightening picture of me there, did you see that? Let's move on

Sunday morning, BBC Radio 2, woing an's Weekend. Do you miss the

breakfast show? I miss the bon ami. I miss the input from hundreds of

listeners every morning and their cock-eyed view of the world, like

me own. I've really missed that. I love doing the Sunday show. It is

live radio. But it is live music as well. There's bits you've carried

over? Yes, but, for instance, it is great to have Sophie Ellis Bextor

singing two of her songs. The boys from Westlife dropping in and

playing your favourite music. I've John Inverdale telling us all that

lies ahead of us with Wimbledon. I shall be there on the opening day

on the centre court. Were you aware that our cameras were there

yesterday film can your every move. A lot of which involved cake!

could you not be aware of it, they were everywhere. Sophie Ellis

Bextor. She'll be singing live? She'll be in here. You're better

off listening to Radio 2, in out of the rain. Getting up on Sunday has

its compensations. It is the cakes and pastries which keep my blood

sugar level up. You don't hear that one very often. Sorry to talk to

you wild your mouth is full! Don't let me interrupt your eating.

was deliberate! This is broadcasting at its best on BBC

Radio 2. Kick the man. I've never liked him. Who is he? You mentioned

the pie, Danish, strudel and trau berry tart? I don't ask for these

things, they force them upon me. It is vital to keep one's energy

levels up. A bit of fruit cake every so often, in common with the

again -- general theme of the programme. You suppose you get

loads sent by your listeners? encouraged it. There wasn't a day

went by which wasn't national pie week, fish and chip week! Paim came

in, particularly Ken bruise at 8.00. He'd say a Scott, probably got that

from the accent "how can you eat curry at this hour of the morning?"

easily. When you get up at 5.00, it is lunch time at 8.00 in the

morning. I can eat anything at any time. You couldn't tell that from

my racing snake figure? You have a great time, of course, with Alan

Dedicoat? No, no, he's entirely unacceptable to me but forces

himself upon me every Sunday morning. He only comes in for the

cake! You have that real relaxed feel to your radio. I've been doing

it since God was a boy. It always came naturally to me. It is not a

great talent. It is just something I can do. I've found years and

years ago, I found something I could do. What would I be doing in

selling second-hand cars. I'd have retired as an under-manager of a

bank somewhere in Ireland. I was lucky. You have to remember how

lucky you are. Radio 2 have 2day on 2nd June? A team of people working

to call it that. What's going on? It is show show the lights of Radio

2, nobody sits and listens to a network all day and all night. This

is just to give awe fragrant nose gay throughout the day of

everything you might be missing. I have a list here. Presenters are

teaming up with each other? I can't read anyone out or nobody would

talk to me again. It will go from 7.00am-7.00pm. Claudia Winkleman,

Jo Whiley. That will be a cat fight! Jeremy Vine and Dermot

O'Leary 9-10.00am. Chris Evans, who you may have heard off and Joey

ball rock and roll back the years. You're the main event? You're on at

7 ok? That's not the main event. I'm with Jools Holland who has a

fantastic band. Jamie Morgan. Jamie Cullum. Claire Teale, Frank Renton.

Nigel Ogden from 6-7. Me introducing Jools Holland. He can

introduce himself. What does he need me for? All bases covered.

22nd June, avoid it if you can. Mike Dilger goes to extraordinary

lengths to see British wildlife. In the next film, he has to take some

pretty dangerous steps to reach his targets. It is some Welsh birds

causing him all that trouble. Typical! Whilst there's plenty of

wildlife to be found in our back gardens, it is one of Britain's far

plunge intrepid animals I'm after. It might superficialy resemble a

carrying crow or jackdaw but they are much rarer than this. With

their bright red legs and bill it looks like they've been standing in

a bowl of tram at owe soup and drinking from it. I'm talking about

the choughs. They live and north- west in rug he had far flung

locations like here in North Wales which makes studying them tricky.

That job falls to choughs fanatic Tony. What is your work telling you

about what the choufs are doing? One is to look at the moment of

birds around Wales. The other part is looking at the basic breeding

biology of choughs. You can only really do all these things by

having a population of birds which is individually recognisable.

Topey's placing bright coloured rings on the choughs chicks to spot

which birds move where. First he has to catch them. They nest in

extreme places so need specialist equipment. The first is 30 metres

inside this sea cave. We need to get in at low tide. In quick, do

the job and back out again. Tony is licensed to do this. Although Wales

is a hot spot for choughs, there are still only 270 pairs here so

they are heavily protected. They nest in inexcessible places to

protect them from predators and the elements. We make it in and sure

enough, the chicks are here. There's a chick on the ledge.

Fantastic. This is as remote a nest as I've ever visited in my entire

life. Waves crashing outside. Virtually dark inside. Just over my

choulder is the choughs nest and I can see a chick -- shoulder. At

four weeks old, the chicks still haven't developed their red bill

but they are ready to be ringed. use a series of rings with a unique

colour combination. There's nine colours. By using both legs you can

get up to several hundred combinations. We coloured-ringed

4,000 choughs in the last 20 years. I associate them as being in the

most amazing remote places. Like this. Like this. The crash of the

waves is coming in. We'll have to get our skates on. We have to beat

a hasty retreat and the parents soon return to feed their checks

albeit now with some colourful tags. Tony wants to ring 350 chicks so

there's no time to rest and we're straight on to the next nest. This

is more like it, Tony. The first couple of times we tried to get to

this one we couldn't. The nest is behind us under there somewhere.

the chough chicks are under our Fieth? I have to go below and under

the roof of the cave there. The truly challenging terrain sadly

prevents tone yie from ever reaching 50% of the -- Tony from

ever reaching 50% of the newborn choughs in Wales. However, the

results are starting to come in. It shows us different sorts of Wales

can be purpb for different populations of choughs at different

times during their life cycle. No good conserving a breeding habitat

at Anglesey. At times they may need to go to Snowdonia. By being able

to identify birds individually, you can show how they move around a lot.

That helps designating sites for conservation of choughs. We also

know once they get to the age of these fellas, these breeding once,

they could be 17 or 18 years old. As always, the checks are returned

safely to their nest in the hope they'll provide more information

about this rare and charismatic species. Whoa, fantastic! Mike

Dilger there. Well chuffed! Bad joke! Earlier we asked viewers to

send us honours. I've got one. Christopher Love. Better than an

MBE, I've three Blue Peter badges for services to his community. I've

got one too. This was from Carl hobs. He was awarded an MBE for

charity work. From aber veil in Wales. This from Jade Jennings. Her

wonderful father sent from Scotland for the meat industry. Thank you
