:00:19. > :00:27.Hello and welcome to the One Show with a curve. And Michelle Ackerley.
:00:28. > :00:33.We are starting on a dancing theme tonight. All of the guests have been
:00:34. > :00:38.performing unusual dance moves. One of them set the nation shaking their
:00:39. > :00:48.hips back in the 80s. Yes, Shakin' Stevens is on the One Show tonight!
:00:49. > :00:53.There he is. I am so delighted. He is a legend. Now, there are others.
:00:54. > :01:07.Their moves did not quite catch on in the same way. Have a look. I just
:01:08. > :01:13.don't get it! It is Nick Nolte and Billy Byrne from DIY SOS. You are
:01:14. > :01:22.going to have to put me in the picture here, what was this? -- Nick
:01:23. > :01:27.Knowles. That is the elbow dance. Me and some mates invented it back in
:01:28. > :01:34.Australia. We managed to convince everybody it was a craze sweeping
:01:35. > :01:40.the nation. But we made it up. You did not look like you were enjoying
:01:41. > :01:50.it as much as Nick? I don't have the movement. I am a grandad dancer. And
:01:51. > :01:58.the Devon dumpling. Most moves have some sexuality about it. Steady on!
:01:59. > :02:06.You will see that in nightclubs all across the West Country. That is for
:02:07. > :02:13.George and Chris. Does look like you guys have a laugh. You have got to
:02:14. > :02:20.get on, haven't you? All building sites have a lot of banter. When we
:02:21. > :02:24.started its 17 years ago, we decided down rather than make the programme
:02:25. > :02:27.the BBC would like, we would make it like a building site. We spent the
:02:28. > :02:34.whole time taking the Mick out of each other and having a laugh. Then
:02:35. > :02:37.when it became The Big Build and we had hundred buildings on site, it
:02:38. > :02:42.carried on the same way. You work like Trojans. Ireland the last when
:02:43. > :02:46.he came on you came fresh from a building site and you were
:02:47. > :02:51.exhausted. -- I remember the last time when you came on. It is hard
:02:52. > :02:56.graft. But there is a community which helps you through. And guys
:02:57. > :03:01.who come off their sites and come to our site, they haven't spoken to
:03:02. > :03:05.their wives for ages, they come in and have their tea and watch the
:03:06. > :03:14.telly, but when they go one DIY, they say they were doing this today.
:03:15. > :03:21.It has been boiling today. In fact, today was declared the hottest day
:03:22. > :03:26.of the year. Cue the obligatory pictures of the beach. Everyone is
:03:27. > :03:30.having a lovely time. You want to be under the Humber Bridge reading a
:03:31. > :03:35.book. It is beautiful down there. That is the place to be. You sit
:03:36. > :03:41.under the Bridge reading a book in the sunshine. Not a good day for a
:03:42. > :03:46.chef in the kitchen. That is a rough day. Belfast, on the other hand,
:03:47. > :03:56.along with many other parts of the UK has been cool, almost as cool as
:03:57. > :04:00.the elbow dance! Marty explains. Today, we all take cool, clean air
:04:01. > :04:04.for granted, thanks to air conditioning. But back at the turn
:04:05. > :04:09.of the 20th century, it was unheard of, until that is, one building
:04:10. > :04:16.right here in Belfast decided it was a matter of life and death. This is
:04:17. > :04:22.the Royal Victoria Hospital, opened in 1903, it was the first building
:04:23. > :04:33.in the world to have air con incorporated into its design.
:04:34. > :04:44.This is the steam engine. It is gorgeous. For 20 years, Nigel Keary
:04:45. > :04:48.has maintained this steam powered Victorian beast, the world's first
:04:49. > :04:54.air conditioning system. How big is this fan? The fan is ten feet in
:04:55. > :05:01.diameter. You can feel the wind blowing down. So it goes up that
:05:02. > :05:05.corridor? Yes, to the old hospital. The process was simple but
:05:06. > :05:13.revolutionary. The dirty air outside is drawn towards a wall of ropes
:05:14. > :05:16.which acts like a filter. They ran hot and cold water down the filters
:05:17. > :05:21.which washed the soot into the drains. That is warmed as it passes
:05:22. > :05:25.by the hot pipes. Now clean and warm it is delivered through the hospital
:05:26. > :05:30.by the massive fans in the bowels of the building. This was Florence
:05:31. > :05:34.Nightingale's period and her big thing was about cleanliness. This
:05:35. > :05:39.hospital with the Florence Nightingale wards and the nursing
:05:40. > :05:43.system, this was the cutting edge of technology in those days. It was a
:05:44. > :05:48.time when Belfast was at the forefront of engineering and it was
:05:49. > :05:52.a place ideal for this kind of development. Lord Pirie was the Lord
:05:53. > :05:57.Mayor of Belfast, when the hospital was being designed. He was also the
:05:58. > :06:03.chairman of the Harland and Wolff shipyard, and he was very concerned
:06:04. > :06:07.that the position of the city as a leader in industry was threatened by
:06:08. > :06:14.the poor health and the short life expectancy of the workers. Lord
:06:15. > :06:18.Pirie was one of the driving forces behind the building of the new
:06:19. > :06:22.hospital, and decided there must be a way of adapting the technology of
:06:23. > :06:28.the shipbuilding industry to move water and clean air into the wards
:06:29. > :06:32.of the new hospital. He found the answer in gigantic propellers which
:06:33. > :06:36.moved ships like the Titanic forward. The same principle of
:06:37. > :06:39.motion applies to the air con propeller where air is pushed
:06:40. > :06:45.through the corridors of the Royal Victoria Hospital. This filter
:06:46. > :06:51.system removed soot and other particles from the air which were
:06:52. > :06:55.then washed away. It was also able to remove microorganisms which
:06:56. > :06:58.caused deadly diseases like tuberculosis. And today's
:06:59. > :07:08.technology, whilst much more advanced, is still based on the same
:07:09. > :07:13.principles. Doctor Sara Head wick is a consultant in the hospital's
:07:14. > :07:20.infectious diseases unit where controlling airflow is still a key
:07:21. > :07:25.priority. We want to make sure that one infection a patient comes in
:07:26. > :07:30.with is not spread to another patient. This is the infectious
:07:31. > :07:34.diseases unit. Do you have some special additional precautions in
:07:35. > :07:38.place? We control the pressure in the room with respect to the
:07:39. > :07:42.corridor, so the pressure is lowest in this room here, so the air is
:07:43. > :07:48.sucked from the corridor into the lobby into the patient's room and
:07:49. > :07:52.out through the ceiling fans there, keeping the bugs away from all the
:07:53. > :07:59.other patients in the ward. Saint air conditioning was introduced here
:08:00. > :08:05.in Belfast in 1903, it has become an essential part of medical technology
:08:06. > :08:08.in hospitals around the world. And its legacy touches us all. It makes
:08:09. > :08:13.you comfortable in the front seat of your car, and makes life possible in
:08:14. > :08:17.the towering skyscrapers in the harsh heat of Dubai. Air
:08:18. > :08:23.conditioning is cooling and cleaning the air we all breathe.
:08:24. > :08:29.Those modern scenes of Dubai and it all started in Belfast. It is
:08:30. > :08:38.remarkable. Amazing, isn't it? Lads, let's talk about DIY SOS. You have
:08:39. > :08:46.The Big Build specials. We do our house for a young Paralympian who is
:08:47. > :08:51.aiming at 2020, Tokyo, but very nearly qualified to go to Rio this
:08:52. > :08:57.time around. He has only recently switched sports. He was a shot
:08:58. > :09:02.putter. He held the world record at shot put and then he went into
:09:03. > :09:08.rowing. The only reason he didn't go to Rio this year is because he came
:09:09. > :09:15.second and they only have one sports person per category. As he came
:09:16. > :09:21.second, obviously the other guy came first. An amazing young man. The
:09:22. > :09:25.house is the thing you were trying to help him with? He could not get
:09:26. > :09:32.around the house. His mum had to wrestle him in and out. He is a big
:09:33. > :09:36.lad. He had to go and get showered at the local sports centre and going
:09:37. > :09:40.there for training was difficult. We got together with the community and
:09:41. > :09:47.took the house apart and rebuilt it so it works for him and it has
:09:48. > :09:52.lowered worktops so he could do cooking. He has no feeling in his
:09:53. > :09:57.legs so we had a guy make up a special apron to protect his legs
:09:58. > :10:01.when he is cooking. That is really touching and it is life changing.
:10:02. > :10:10.There is a clip we want to show you where you tell Scott it is not just
:10:11. > :10:26.a new house. Scott now has a sponsor. That is
:10:27. > :10:34.amazing. You have to say a big thank you. That got us!
:10:35. > :10:39.I should say, he is very chatty! He will say I cannot believe they
:10:40. > :10:43.picked that bit. He is very chatty and fantastic. One of the great joys
:10:44. > :10:48.of doing that programme is when I get to chat to people, they tell you
:10:49. > :10:52.amazing things. He still dreams that he can run around and play rugby. He
:10:53. > :10:57.gets up and falls because he does not have the use of his legs. Your
:10:58. > :11:05.mind is constantly playing tricks on you. We could see you got so
:11:06. > :11:09.emotional. I got close to him. We did a training session which is
:11:10. > :11:15.called murder ball which is in wheelchairs. We had to get strapped
:11:16. > :11:19.in wheelchairs. It panicked me a bit because if anything went wrong I
:11:20. > :11:23.could not get up and run but obviously they cannot anyway. So we
:11:24. > :11:28.were playing murder ball and it was amazing, how fast, how quick, the
:11:29. > :11:32.agility. Everyone I was looking at, I admired. They did not feel there
:11:33. > :11:37.was anything wrong with them, they were part of it. They kept crashing
:11:38. > :11:48.into you. Because I can feel my knees, and of course it hurt. If
:11:49. > :11:54.they crash it is different. This was not a motion, it was paying!
:11:55. > :11:58.Whenever we do a reveal, he is always in bits and I am always
:11:59. > :12:08.desperately trying to hang onto it. He is always the first to go. Yes!
:12:09. > :12:16.Well, it is on Tuesday. The last time I saw you you were at a movie
:12:17. > :12:27.premiere. Now another film is an the horizon. Golden Years is now on DVD
:12:28. > :12:34.at the supermarket. Now I am writing another one. It is a period drama
:12:35. > :12:38.set around the Napoleonic wars. I am late delivering on it, maybe I
:12:39. > :12:43.should not have said that! We will leave it there! We should
:12:44. > :12:48.move on. From houses finding a new lease of life to buildings which
:12:49. > :12:52.have lost their purpose altogether. As Kevin has been finding out, with
:12:53. > :12:57.the number of people going to church declining, many are closing their
:12:58. > :13:05.doors for good. Everybody is absolutely gobsmacked.
:13:06. > :13:11.It is not a celebration tonight, it is something very sad. It is the
:13:12. > :13:21.worst thing that has happened to me since my husband died.
:13:22. > :13:25.I have come to the west coast of Wales, visiting some of the furthest
:13:26. > :13:29.outpost of the Catholic church in mainland Britain. But all these
:13:30. > :13:36.churches have one thing in common. They are either closed or are
:13:37. > :13:41.closing. The Catholic Church is shutting 22 of its 62 churches in
:13:42. > :13:48.North Wales by 2020, because of what has been dubbed a mass exodus. This
:13:49. > :13:56.church is in a beautiful seaside town and today's its last day.
:13:57. > :14:00.92-year-old Mary has been attending services here for nearly 50 years,
:14:01. > :14:07.and her late husband helped build the church. This is the demolition
:14:08. > :14:17.of the old church which was a hut. That is my husband there. It was a
:14:18. > :14:20.happy time, it was very happy. What does the church mean to you? Well, I
:14:21. > :14:27.have always regarded it as an annex to my home, and now it feels as if
:14:28. > :14:31.part of it has been demolished. Falling numbers and a shortage of
:14:32. > :14:36.new priests has been blamed for the decision to close a third of North
:14:37. > :14:37.Wales' Catholic Church is. How has that gone down with those who do
:14:38. > :14:50.still use the church? John and Gaynor have been
:14:51. > :14:56.hairdressers here since 1971. My son was on the altar, and I was on the
:14:57. > :15:00.altar. I'm coming up to 70 and we thought we would have our funeral
:15:01. > :15:05.services here. You don't close a church, because then nobody can go,
:15:06. > :15:08.can they? Husband John is equally upset by the closure, but is
:15:09. > :15:14.pragmatic about the reasons behind it. I think the whole world revolves
:15:15. > :15:19.around finance these days. It costs money to run a church. Our children
:15:20. > :15:24.were the first to be cystened in the new church, and our little one which
:15:25. > :15:28.we lost had a little service there, so it means a lot to us. We were
:15:29. > :15:34.there at the beginning and now we are going to be there at the end and
:15:35. > :15:41.that's tragic really. The man who marked Christ the King out four
:15:42. > :15:45.closure is this Bishop. We join him as he heads to Aberdovey to
:15:46. > :15:49.administer the last rites. At the moment I have six priests who are
:15:50. > :15:56.beyond retirement age who are running parishes. I haven't got
:15:57. > :15:59.anyone to replace those men. Attendances are declining and the
:16:00. > :16:04.Catholic Church is not immune to that. And this decline isn't just
:16:05. > :16:08.been seen in Wales. Recently the Bishop of Salford announced he may
:16:09. > :16:13.have to close half the churches in his 150 parishes. Despite Britain's
:16:14. > :16:17.booming population, the numbers going to church have halved over the
:16:18. > :16:23.past 85 years to fewer than 5 million. But shutting churches for
:16:24. > :16:26.good is still a tough call to make. A lot of people thought that once
:16:27. > :16:29.the church was there it was going to be there for life, so can you
:16:30. > :16:36.understand how upset and disappointed they are? I certainly
:16:37. > :16:40.can understand, because inevitably there's a lot of personal feeling
:16:41. > :16:48.tied up within the bricks and mortar. To say it's the last
:16:49. > :16:52.service, that's going to be so, so sad. You said you didn't see today
:16:53. > :16:58.as a celebration but more like a funeral? A funeral, yes. That's what
:16:59. > :17:08.I think. That's why I'm dressed in drab clothing. Purple flowers. Like
:17:09. > :17:16.so much of rural life generally, the issue of sustain about and the
:17:17. > :17:20.viability of the church now need a new and different vision. It is a
:17:21. > :17:24.sad service because it's goodbye to a church I've had a long association
:17:25. > :17:31.with and special memories but I'll take those memories with me. How do
:17:32. > :17:35.you feel? Gutted, absolutely gutted. Absolutely distraught really. The
:17:36. > :17:39.Catholic Church is the people and the people are still here and we'll
:17:40. > :17:45.continue to celebrate mass, but it is a sad day. It is very sad and
:17:46. > :17:50.we'll miss this place. It's sad to see any building that's a big part
:17:51. > :17:54.of a community shut down. And awful to see so many people so upset about
:17:55. > :17:58.it. It was interesting hearing the Bishop talk there about rural
:17:59. > :18:01.issues. We've covered quite a few on Countryfile about using churches in
:18:02. > :18:06.a different way and taking them forward and using more community
:18:07. > :18:12.space, taking out pews and putting in dancefloors. In a moment it's
:18:13. > :18:16.going to happen, everybody. We'll be talking to '80s legend Shakin'
:18:17. > :18:29.Stevens. Just warming up there. CHEERING. He's getting the crowd
:18:30. > :18:34.going! But first he has taken us on a tour of the "Ole House" where it
:18:35. > :18:39.all started. My name is Michael Barrett but you probably don't knee
:18:40. > :18:44.me as that. To most of the world I'm simply Shakin' Stevens. "This Ole
:18:45. > :18:49.House" once filled with children... I spent more time in the UK singles
:18:50. > :18:53.chart than any other artist. Nearly 5 years if you add it up. But today
:18:54. > :19:01.I'm coming back to "This Ole House" where I grew up in the Eli estate in
:19:02. > :19:05.Cardiff. I used to help my mum with the garden. We used to play in the
:19:06. > :19:10.streets, rounders or cricket. Also on the street is where I got my
:19:11. > :19:14.name. Steven Walker, when it was his turn with the bat, he used to say,
:19:15. > :19:18.ladies and gentlemen, Shakin' Stevens. I thought, that's a whacky
:19:19. > :19:23.name, I'll use that. He didn't go into the music business but he loves
:19:24. > :19:30.telling a story. God, I haven't been here in years. Many, many years. It
:19:31. > :19:37.is very different. A sofa in the middle. TV over there. My dad's
:19:38. > :19:42.chair was just by there. My dad fought in the 1914 war. He was
:19:43. > :19:48.affected by gas. My dad, he liked a lot to drink. But his father before
:19:49. > :19:55.him and back, back, back, those were the days really. He was a hard man
:19:56. > :20:00.and hard on the kids then, but... Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was the youngest
:20:01. > :20:06.of 13 children and when I was born there were still 11 of us living in
:20:07. > :20:10.this three bedroom house, if you include my mum and dad. This is
:20:11. > :20:17.different. These bunk beds weren't here. That's still there. Because I
:20:18. > :20:23.had many older brothers and sisters I was listening to their records.
:20:24. > :20:32.The first I bought was Blueberry Hill. My first record, that was it.
:20:33. > :20:37.I found my thrill, on Blueberry Hill... We all sang songs. If there
:20:38. > :20:42.was a wedding we would all be getting up to sing. We had a piano,
:20:43. > :20:48.I think it came from a pub. I started vamping it and learning the
:20:49. > :20:54.piano. Mum basically was a very tidy lady and she would have to move to
:20:55. > :21:00.furniture to dust behind and not just at the front, so the piano had
:21:01. > :21:07.to go. It was just round the corner where I put on my first public
:21:08. > :21:11.performance. This is the infant school, and the junior school, I
:21:12. > :21:17.went to both. We used to have fancy dress. The teacher, Mrs Cox, said
:21:18. > :21:30.what about one dressing up as a beet nick and another as as a Teddy boy.
:21:31. > :21:36.It is nice to come back to your home town and still be remembered. There
:21:37. > :21:40.is an old piano and they are playing hot behind the green door. It is
:21:41. > :21:46.nice to be recognised after all this time. I had a lot of jobs like
:21:47. > :21:49.porter to builder, but I could work to pay my keep while freeing up the
:21:50. > :21:57.nights to do what I do best, sing. This was the place too play. I
:21:58. > :22:05.played with the Denims and the dukes. My dad was alive, so he was
:22:06. > :22:09.very proud. Very proud of me singing. Here there and everywhere.
:22:10. > :22:12.But the sad thing is when the success came, he wasn't around to
:22:13. > :22:20.witness that or even see it. That was sad. He would have been over the
:22:21. > :22:24.Moon. But that's life. As I get older I find my music draws more and
:22:25. > :22:30.more inspiration from my background. Everything leads me back to where it
:22:31. > :22:45.all began for me, Marcus Road in Ely. Ain't gonna need this house no
:22:46. > :22:57.longer, ain't gonna need this house no more... Ain't gonna need this
:22:58. > :23:08.house no longer... CHEERING. Welcome Shakin' Stevens!
:23:09. > :23:12.So pleased to meet you. What I find interesting is if it wasn't for
:23:13. > :23:19.Elvis you might not have become a household name. Well, I was when I
:23:20. > :23:24.did that for 19 months, it was time to earn some money, because I wasn't
:23:25. > :23:30.earning any. It was a nice part to do actually. I'm fan of Elvis myself
:23:31. > :23:39.actually. I've got some blue suede shoes on. You were in the musical.
:23:40. > :23:47.What part did you play within his life? PC proby played the latter
:23:48. > :23:53.Presley and I played the middle one with Colonel Tom Parker. And
:23:54. > :24:00.shakin... It played for 19 month, ran loads of awards. I loved it. And
:24:01. > :24:05.from there, 33 hits. Amazing. It took me 17 years to get there. Yeah,
:24:06. > :24:10.but you have done it. Of all those songs what do you think it was about
:24:11. > :24:15.them that people loved. Green Door. What's the secret? Good time music I
:24:16. > :24:21.think it was. Very memorable. I think the legs had a lot to do with
:24:22. > :24:26.it. Do you? You need to teach Nick some of these moves. What are you
:24:27. > :24:33.saying? Your dance moves, Nick. I didn't come here to be insulted over
:24:34. > :24:37.my dance moves! Tell us about your new album, Echoes of Our Times. I'm
:24:38. > :24:45.very pleased with it. It is very personal to me. It is all about my
:24:46. > :24:50.family and life and that. For people that haven't seen me live, those
:24:51. > :24:57.instruments I use on the album like slide guitar, the Mandalay and mouth
:24:58. > :25:04.organ, it is a blues folk rock album. There's some wonderful
:25:05. > :25:10.stories, like... You didn't ask me that question, but I was going on
:25:11. > :25:15.too my ancestors. I didn't know anything about my family until we
:25:16. > :25:20.started researching them. I didn't know that my ancestors were down in
:25:21. > :25:27.Cornwall. They used to go down the mines, the tin mines and the copper
:25:28. > :25:32.mines. They used to go down, taking at least an hour to go down, two
:25:33. > :25:44.hours down, there do 8 hours, two hours and back again. And that part
:25:45. > :25:54.of your history has inspired this. Living and dying. Billy surviving.
:25:55. > :25:59.APPLAUSE. It sounded like a Mike and the my cannics. It is pretty groovy
:26:00. > :26:09.this album. It is quite dark and it has got lots of stories on it. We do
:26:10. > :26:15.that on stage. People come to see me on stage, they'll see that. You are
:26:16. > :26:20.on tour. Shaky is going on tour next year.
:26:21. > :26:25.CHEERING. If you want to see any of that Mike and the mechanics and the
:26:26. > :26:32.Delamitri groove, it is out on Friday. And it may be the first time
:26:33. > :26:38.in ten years that anybody used the word groovy. That will be trending.
:26:39. > :26:44.You'll be do dodgy and tricky next. We are going to play a game now. It
:26:45. > :26:52.has a catchy title. It's... "This Ole House". ". This is how it works.
:26:53. > :26:55.We are going to somehow you some houses and you have to work out
:26:56. > :27:00.through our cunning clues who has lived in that house in the past. It
:27:01. > :27:04.is a well known person. Listen for the clues. First one, are you ready?
:27:05. > :27:13.Who lives "This Ole House" "Ole House"? It is a rather novel house.
:27:14. > :27:19.Interesting "chimney potter". You can't see the Dumble-door. It is not
:27:20. > :27:30.a cursed child that lived here. A quite. Let's find out. JK Rowling.
:27:31. > :27:36.CHEERING. 1-0. Very good. Next, who used to live in "This Ole House"?

:27:43. > :27:51.John Lennon! APPLAUSE. And he came to live inta
:27:52. > :27:55."Ole House" with his aunt and live there had until he was 22. It is now

:28:02. > :28:06."This Ole House". This one is in good Nick. Nick Knowles! That's my
:28:07. > :28:14.house. That's the house in Southall at the bottom of Gregory Road in
:28:15. > :28:20.Southall I grew up. That alleyway, I used to put my hands on one wall and
:28:21. > :28:26.my legs on the other and crawl along. I remembered it as a huge
:28:27. > :28:32.tower. It is lovely we all got to live around Shaky's house. We were
:28:33. > :28:35.talking, wouldn't it be nice if we could look around Nick's house? We
:28:36. > :28:42.are actually live inside your old house. You are not! Do you recognise
:28:43. > :28:49.the inside? No, it looked nothing like that when I lived there. Where
:28:50. > :28:59.are we at the moment? In my bedroom? They don't look anything like it. Go

:29:07. > :29:14.brother. I see a Shakin' Stevens there There is! And on the left,
:29:15. > :29:23.behind that, this is like the Golden Shot. Back even further on that
:29:24. > :29:29.wall, not the make-up counter. My brother had a huge Peace sign,
:29:30. > :29:33.because he was a hippy. He had pictures of famous people and he
:29:34. > :29:38.drew Peace on the wall. That was my mum's room. On my right was my
:29:39. > :29:43.sister's room. My dad caught a magpie in the house. We are going to
:29:44. > :29:45.keep this footage running for Nick when we finish off ago, because it
