:00:24. > :00:29.Hello and welcome to The One Show with Matt Baker... And Alex Jones.
:00:29. > :00:36.What a great night for the Brits at the Golden Globes Awards? Didn't
:00:36. > :00:41.they do well, Dame Maggie Smith, Adele.
:00:41. > :00:46.Well tonight's guest is another great British film export. The only
:00:46. > :00:56.way to introduce him is with one of those ploks with a really great
:00:56. > :00:58.
:00:58. > :01:04.voice... Tonight, coming to a sofa near you, Jason Bourne's nemesis,
:01:04. > :01:14.it's... Brian Cox! There you go, Brian, you see. I don't know what
:01:14. > :01:16.
:01:16. > :01:21.is more scary, Jason's nemesis? Welcome to see you.
:01:22. > :01:26.Is it a big night, the Golden Globes Awards? It is quite relaxed.
:01:26. > :01:30.More relaxed than the Oscars, not that I've ever been to them, but I
:01:30. > :01:35.gather it is. It is also, because there are so
:01:35. > :01:40.many categories like the films are divided up. Whereas with the Oscars
:01:40. > :01:46.everyone is chasing the same prize, you have Best Actor, benefit
:01:46. > :01:52.musical, Best Drama, it is more evenly spread. It is quaint.
:01:52. > :01:57.It is run by the Hollywood Foreign Press, the average age of which is
:01:57. > :02:01.120. Do you think that the nominees were
:02:01. > :02:09.fair? I think so. There is a personal choice that I would have
:02:09. > :02:15.liked to have seen of one, but it is OK, but I was very pleased for
:02:16. > :02:20.Hugh Jackman. He is doing such a great work. Some reviewers have
:02:20. > :02:24.been many and unnecessarily so. I think what he does in that film is
:02:24. > :02:28.extraordinary. It is very, very hard to do.
:02:28. > :02:33.You are talking about Les Miserables. A brilliant film m
:02:34. > :02:38.steel reel being it! Now, with snow covering large parts of the country
:02:38. > :02:43.and temperatures plummeting, lots of you may be sitting there with an
:02:43. > :02:49.extra jumper on. But imagine sleeping outside on a
:02:49. > :02:54.make-shift protest camp? Alex Riley is planning to meet some people who
:02:54. > :03:00.are planning a long winter under ground.
:03:00. > :03:05.Sitting Bull, otherwise known en -- as Simon has dieded to put his life
:03:05. > :03:11.in danger. This is the hardest way of removing
:03:11. > :03:19.protesters from the sight, when at the tunnel. Down here is the water
:03:20. > :03:25.container and my toilet... That's so I have comfort below me. This is
:03:25. > :03:31.my snorkel, breathing system! It is very rudimentary, to say the least.
:03:31. > :03:37.This is one of several tunnels. This is Sitting Bull tunnel, there
:03:37. > :03:40.is Crazy Horse tunnel and they are in the process of doing ger own mow
:03:40. > :03:44.tunnel. The project of this link has been
:03:44. > :03:52.under discussion for 20 years. Last year, the protesters lost a court
:03:52. > :03:57.battle for the road to be scrapped. Now this is one of three different
:03:57. > :04:00.camps. People are building things, sitting on ropes, what have you.
:04:00. > :04:09.How long have you been up there for? About an hour-and-a-half.
:04:09. > :04:13.How long will you stay up there? Probably that much -- not that much
:04:13. > :04:18.longer. I will have a cup of tea in a minute.
:04:18. > :04:23.Today, it is good-natured and friendly but there have been some
:04:23. > :04:27.arrests. This scheme, the new road is three miles long, why is it
:04:27. > :04:32.worth getting arrested for? It is destroying the nature. It is a
:04:32. > :04:36.terrible waste of public money. I want my daughter to grow up and
:04:36. > :04:39.walk through this valley, not for it to be destroyed by a road that
:04:39. > :04:44.is carrying 30,000 vehicle as day. It is obscene.
:04:44. > :04:51.There is, however, lots of support for the project. 84% of the locals
:04:51. > :04:56.responded to a vuarfaway and backed the idea of a new road -- survey.
:04:57. > :05:00.It is essential to the development of the Hastings area and Bexhill.
:05:00. > :05:04.It will increase the size of the local economy by over �1 billion.
:05:04. > :05:07.It is ten times the cost of building the road.
:05:07. > :05:11.Now there are obviously passionate people who oppose the project. Some
:05:11. > :05:16.of them are prepared to dig tunnels, climb trees and get arrested. What
:05:16. > :05:20.do you say to them? We have been through a long process of
:05:20. > :05:26.consultation, planning permission, of public inquiry. There has been
:05:26. > :05:30.lots of opportunity for everyone to put across their point of view.
:05:30. > :05:35.Their antics in the courts last year, tunnelling this year it has
:05:35. > :05:39.cost us about �5 million. With the construction under way,
:05:39. > :05:44.history tells us it isen likely that either said will get what they
:05:44. > :05:49.want. Even 7,000 demonstrators could not halt the Newbury by-pass
:05:49. > :05:55.from being built and all of the added security cost the taxpayer a
:05:55. > :05:58.whopping �24 million extra. If they do grab me. All I do need
:05:58. > :06:04.here are 30 seconds. Then I am down the hole.
:06:04. > :06:10.You are prepareded to stay here, locked in the dark? Yes.
:06:10. > :06:15.I have loads of batteries! But it will be cold and difficult to live
:06:15. > :06:18.in. How long can you survive in this? I reckon I could survive for
:06:18. > :06:22.a month. Well, I know you mentioned it but
:06:22. > :06:26.being out in conditions like this at the moment does not bare
:06:26. > :06:32.thinking about. Lucy is here to talk about this a little more. We
:06:32. > :06:36.have heard from Sitting Bull. It is a last resort, where are the
:06:36. > :06:40.protesters today? Well, we are not allowed to say where the camp is,
:06:40. > :06:44.but the road is being built in stages. They obviously have not got
:06:44. > :06:48.tonne that part of the road yet. When they get near to that part of
:06:48. > :06:53.the road, the police have said that they have trained people who will
:06:53. > :06:58.deal with the removal or the evicting of the protesters like
:06:58. > :07:04.Sitting Bull, and they will then apply for a high court order also
:07:04. > :07:10.to do that. We know that it is a waiting game right now.
:07:10. > :07:16.This is a big protest but we saw more protests of this scale in the
:07:16. > :07:21.past? This is taking us back to the 90s. There was a stand-off with the
:07:21. > :07:26.police today. That lasted four hours. Then the protesters in the
:07:26. > :07:31.tree tops in that location they came down and they were evicted.
:07:31. > :07:38.Then the three oak trees there were felled. We got used to seeing this
:07:38. > :07:43.in the 90s, it was on a bigger scale. You may remember Hampshire,
:07:43. > :07:50.Twyford Downs. It was extended for the M3. There was a huge protest.
:07:50. > :07:57.That is when we saw the start of non-violent action. People became
:07:57. > :08:07.good at doing this. Then Newbury, 1,000 people were arrested there.
:08:07. > :08:08.
:08:08. > :08:13.That is where Swampy emerged? You remember, Swampy, Brian?
:08:13. > :08:16.remember him very well. He was a hero. I think it is shocking. It is
:08:16. > :08:19.beautiful that part of the countryside. We are doing enough
:08:19. > :08:24.damage to the countryside, we should leave it alone.
:08:24. > :08:27.But there are others who say that this is progress, we need the roads.
:08:28. > :08:32.Swampy was the reluctant hero, coming up from the tunnel, had a
:08:32. > :08:41.taste of fame. He was on Have I Got News For You, he was in fashion
:08:41. > :08:47.supplements, you were a fan of him, weren't you?! I was. Then he
:08:47. > :08:51.disappeared again. Daniel, Hooper, where are you? I think that the
:08:51. > :08:57.point you made about how unfashionable it is to were test. I
:08:57. > :09:02.think is a shame. It is only by protesting that you get moving.
:09:02. > :09:11.Have you protested yourself, Brian? All the time. Every day of my life.
:09:11. > :09:15.It is one of those things for an actor. I am a pain in the... But we
:09:15. > :09:19.can't talk about the roads tonight without talking about the snow. The
:09:19. > :09:23.warnings that are in place, is there anything we must be aware of?
:09:23. > :09:29.There are three amber warnings and igt yellow warnings for the whole
:09:29. > :09:35.of the country. The news is that the temperatures are predicted to
:09:35. > :09:40.keep going down and the worst affected area are the north of east
:09:40. > :09:45.England, area and the East Midlands. The Met Office are saying to please
:09:45. > :09:49.watch out for the ice. Now, in a minute, Brian, we are talking about
:09:49. > :09:54.your comedkpwri, but first, let's have a look at one of your most
:09:54. > :09:57.famous film roles. Is that why you killed Marie?
:09:58. > :10:02.killed her. The minute you climbed into the car. The minute you
:10:02. > :10:07.entered her life she was dead. I told you to leave us alone. I
:10:07. > :10:13.fell off the grid. There is no place I won't catch up to you. It
:10:13. > :10:18.is how every story ends it is what you are, Jason, a killer.
:10:18. > :10:23.One of my favourites of the Bourne series.
:10:23. > :10:30.There is a funny story about that I was doing a play. We wrapped the
:10:31. > :10:39.film. We never shot that scene. The showdown between Jason Bo, rne and
:10:39. > :10:46.the guy that I played! I can't remember his name! The CIA guy.
:10:46. > :10:52.When they did, they rang me up. I was in Edinburgh doing a play. I
:10:52. > :10:57.was looking like this. We had to do this scene. So they flew me in on a
:10:57. > :11:01.private jet to do the scene. That is a wig I am wearing. It was all
:11:01. > :11:07.done in a weekend. Finally, they finished the film.
:11:07. > :11:12.So, you have done a huge block buster but you are back on our
:11:12. > :11:17.small screens in a comedy. Tell us about this. This is Bob Servant
:11:17. > :11:21.Independent? It is hilarious. pleased about this. It is something,
:11:22. > :11:28.I have always wanted to do comedy. Because I have this face, which...
:11:28. > :11:33.What do you mean?! Apparently I welcome mean, but I am not at all
:11:33. > :11:41.but I do look it! So this script came to me. It was a brilliant
:11:41. > :11:46.young writer, who wrote a series of books called Delete At Your Peril.
:11:46. > :11:51.Bob was taking on e-mail spammers. I urge you to read it, it is really
:11:51. > :11:57.funny. We did it on the radio. Then a clever producer here at the BBC
:11:57. > :12:00.decided to do a television series based on Bob. So the scripts came
:12:00. > :12:06.and they were amazing. The other thing that is important for me is
:12:06. > :12:10.that it is set in my home town. That's right. He is a small
:12:10. > :12:16.businessman, he turned into an MP. He is telling some of his policies
:12:17. > :12:22.here to the locals. I have an unfair parking ticket...
:12:22. > :12:27.Joan, marketing -- parking tickets is not the thing. Whoa, let's hear
:12:27. > :12:32.it. I came out of the dry-cleaners. There was a traffic warden at the
:12:32. > :12:39.car. I know the one. Was he looking pleased with himself? He was.
:12:39. > :12:45.He has given me a ticket, but I was own three hours over. That is knit-
:12:45. > :12:49.picking, Joan, I will not have it on my watch! Hang on the line. My
:12:49. > :12:54.campaign manager will be with you directly, we can probably throw in
:12:54. > :12:59.a disabled parking badge! He is a brilliant character. Very good, but
:12:59. > :13:06.it must have been great to be back at home? It is the first time ever,
:13:06. > :13:12.really, that Dundee has been, well, there was a thing years ago in
:13:12. > :13:18.which nobody could do the accent, Dupe City, but I am proud that
:13:18. > :13:23.there is a comedy coming from Dundee. It is not from Edinburgh,
:13:23. > :13:28.or Glasgow but it is from Dundee. And speaking of which, you have a
:13:29. > :13:33.gift for us. This is for the One Show kitchen.
:13:33. > :13:39.This is the Dundee dialect. Nobody can understand it, but, for
:13:40. > :13:49.instance, I will give you that one. That is I have finished my meal.
:13:50. > :13:54.
:13:55. > :14:00.It goes like this A- A- R. I ate it all! So, Brian, we worked
:14:00. > :14:05.out you have done over 100 films. We were working out can you guess
:14:05. > :14:11.what they are purely by the tag lines? Well, here are a few tag
:14:11. > :14:15.lines. Let's have the first one. Still armed, still dangerous, still
:14:15. > :14:21.got it. You can't remember the character
:14:21. > :14:27.name in the Bourne films, so good luck with this. Is that from the
:14:27. > :14:34.Bourne films? Is it me? It is a colour. It is not
:14:34. > :14:39.blue it is not white it is? Red! You starred opposite Helen Mirren.
:14:39. > :14:44.Yes. I have just done the sequel in which all I do is kiss Helen
:14:44. > :14:47.Mirren! I come back just to kiss Helen Mirren it was the best-paid
:14:47. > :14:52.job. We'll do one more. Then a huge clue.
:14:52. > :15:00.This is based in Scotland. Here we go.
:15:00. > :15:05.Ever man dies, not every man really lives. That is either Brave Heart
:15:05. > :15:09.or Rob Roy. We will take the first one, it is
:15:09. > :15:16.Brave Heart. Are you still up for a scrap with
:15:16. > :15:26.the English over independence? Now we are going back 100 years to
:15:26. > :15:28.
:15:28. > :15:34.a moment that changed cinema You killed my partner, punk. I'm
:15:34. > :15:37.taking you in! There is nothing like an action film to get the
:15:37. > :15:43.adrenaline pumping, but if you think this kind of picture was born
:15:43. > :15:46.in Hollywood, think again. Movie experts reckon that the first
:15:46. > :15:51.action film was made here in Sheffield.
:15:51. > :15:54.It was made over 100 years ago. More than a decade, before
:15:54. > :15:58.Hollywood became the capital of world film production. At the turn
:15:59. > :16:03.of the 20th century, these streets were the home of a firm of
:16:03. > :16:07.photographers called the Sheffield Photo Company. They were at the
:16:07. > :16:12.forefront of an exciting industry, but they were also on the brink of
:16:12. > :16:18.becoming part of film-making history.
:16:18. > :16:28.It was 1903 when the company released the first moving picture
:16:28. > :16:32.
:16:32. > :16:40.production. It was called A daring Daylight Burglary.
:16:40. > :16:44.We see a burgler forcing open the windows of the house. Above us is
:16:45. > :16:49.the roof. A young boy fetches the police. A fight starts, a policeman
:16:49. > :16:52.is thrown to his serious injure, possibly death. I think at the time
:16:53. > :16:58.that would have felt realistic to people and quite shocking.
:16:58. > :17:04.Was it a hit? Yes, it was a big hit. The company sold the rights of the
:17:04. > :17:07.film to a gentleman called Charles Urban. He dies Buted it around the
:17:07. > :17:11.world. So, shot in Sheffield but it
:17:11. > :17:20.conquered the world? Indeed. The people behind the international
:17:20. > :17:28.hit were the Mottershaw family. It was his son, though, Frank, who was
:17:28. > :17:31.the creative force behind the fiction films. In its day, a Daring
:17:31. > :17:36.Day light Burglary was ground- breaking.
:17:36. > :17:40.It is all action. A cop is killed and the other cops go, as it were,
:17:40. > :17:45.not only to catch the villain but almost to avenge them. A theme
:17:45. > :17:50.that's been running for over 100 years? Yes. You can see the story,
:17:50. > :17:54.the line of it, how it has been expanded on in countless of films.
:17:54. > :17:58.It is sister-in-law one of the earliest-known films to have told a
:17:58. > :18:03.story in this way. It was not just the actions that
:18:03. > :18:07.was ground breaking. The editing much the film took the audience on
:18:07. > :18:10.a journey across the city in less than five minutes.
:18:10. > :18:15.Films before this would have been made up of one or two shots. This
:18:15. > :18:20.film goes to a number of different locations. The audience must create
:18:20. > :18:26.the links between the different locations. It is like a very crude
:18:26. > :18:31.form of cinema very cab leary being created.
:18:31. > :18:36.Do you think it would work with a modern audience? Yes it is in the
:18:36. > :18:42.that far removed from what they see each week on the big screen.
:18:42. > :18:52.Good. Let's go to the box office. Enjoy the film. It is action-packed.
:18:52. > :18:58.
:18:58. > :19:03.I don't really know what I was expecting, but it had more action
:19:03. > :19:08.in it than I thought it would. think with the old cinema, you are
:19:08. > :19:13.not sure what to make of it. Sometimes maybe not that fast-paced,
:19:13. > :19:20.but I was impressed by it. We are very lucky today as we have
:19:20. > :19:25.a member of the Mottershaw dynasty with us, Frank's grandson.
:19:25. > :19:28.The move from frame-to-frame is so good. It really stands out and
:19:28. > :19:37.establishes a method that has been used ever since.
:19:37. > :19:42.The film near escaped the attention of most modern film fans but just
:19:42. > :19:47.as the location is enjoyed here in Sheffield, so its impact continues
:19:47. > :19:56.to influence on the silver screen. Now, if you will excuse me, I have
:19:56. > :20:06.to carry on spreading the word... Brilliant stuff, as a tribute to A
:20:06. > :20:07.
:20:07. > :20:12.Daring Daylight Robbery, it is now Stkpwhrrb 1903, of course. Joining
:20:12. > :20:16.us on the sofa it is film critic, Antonia Quirke. If you did not
:20:16. > :20:22.fancy watching an action film in 1903, what else was on offer?
:20:22. > :20:27.was an exciting time in cinema, full stop. Not just in Sheffield
:20:27. > :20:31.for that family but in Brighton, the Hollywood of the UK, you had
:20:31. > :20:36.scientists, chemists, film-makers, entrepreneurs, money-men,
:20:36. > :20:40.photographers, all working together and competing against each other to
:20:40. > :20:45.bring all sorts of extraordinary stuff to the screen. One memorable
:20:45. > :20:50.film from 1903 was a film about a stilton sandwich! All about the
:20:50. > :20:54.little mites eating away at the cheese it was filmed through a
:20:54. > :20:59.telescope. The audiences were crazy for it, but one of the most
:20:59. > :21:07.beautiful, and interesting is the adaptation of Alice in Wonderland.
:21:07. > :21:12.That really is xegsal. As you can see, it -- exceptional. Down here
:21:12. > :21:22.in the rabbit hole it is the stuff of nightmares. This is only 37
:21:22. > :21:23.
:21:23. > :21:28.years after the book was written. Today is the 115th anniversary of
:21:28. > :21:35.LewisCarrol's death. There is family history. The actors are
:21:35. > :21:41.played by the writer, and the director, Cecil and his wife is in
:21:41. > :21:45.it. Their grandchildren. You can see they are having a terrific time.
:21:45. > :21:50.It is a great film. If blokes fancy something with a
:21:50. > :21:56.bit of violence, as they do, sometimes, back in 1903, what was
:21:56. > :21:58.on offer then? There was a one- minute film about a chest chess
:21:58. > :22:08.dispute. There is a film that I believe we
:22:08. > :22:27.
:22:27. > :22:33.APPLAUSE What do you make of that, Brian?! And the way it is happening
:22:33. > :22:40.out of shot. It is arty. I love the way that the men look as though
:22:40. > :22:44.they are modelled on the great silent actor, Buster Keaton. He was
:22:44. > :22:53.only eight years old then. The imagination is brilliant. It is a
:22:53. > :23:00.very good pont you made about the film being made below the screen.
:23:00. > :23:05.It is a lot of -- there are a lot of films that are overproduced.
:23:05. > :23:09.And of course colour. A year before this, a man called
:23:09. > :23:13.Edward Raymond Turner was making the first ever colour moving
:23:13. > :23:18.picture in his back garden in Hounslow. We have a shot here. That
:23:18. > :23:22.is his little girl. That is in a back guard no-one Hounslow. That is
:23:22. > :23:27.shot in Brighton. Turner was a chemist. He made the 38 millimetre
:23:27. > :23:31.film with his own hands. Those combined with the camera and
:23:31. > :23:35.the projector to make the perfect colour.
:23:35. > :23:39.Antonia, thank you very much. Brian, in the show of yous, you are
:23:39. > :23:46.playing a man attempting to become an MP. Well, let's hear from a man
:23:46. > :23:51.who has heard everything that politics has to offer.
:23:51. > :24:01.I am Paddy Ashdown. I am going back to the first street that I remember,
:24:01. > :24:05.
:24:05. > :24:10.it is off Coast guardLane. It is off Orloch.
:24:10. > :24:19.Here I am living alongside Belfast lock. That is it going right the
:24:19. > :24:23.way down to the city. Can you imagine the magic of that? And
:24:23. > :24:28.these... They were just abandoned, the Second World War, army huts. I
:24:28. > :24:34.thought they were great. We used to play in them all of the time.
:24:34. > :24:39.Pretending we were men in machine guns, shoting over the top of them.
:24:39. > :24:46.What an adventure! That must be the house but you know how I recognise
:24:46. > :24:55.it, it is the tree first. There were telehouses. We lived at
:24:55. > :25:01.that end... LAUGHTER That is the old coastguard Tower. It was pretty
:25:01. > :25:06.well derelict. These are the steps that led us up, to what was, for me,
:25:06. > :25:12.the steps to fairyland and imagination.
:25:12. > :25:17.And here it is. It is looking straight out on to
:25:17. > :25:27.the Mull of Kintyre. Surrounded by the sea on all three
:25:27. > :25:31.sides. I also remember here a strange
:25:31. > :25:36.loneliness, a strange separation. My father was a Colonel in the
:25:36. > :25:41.Indian army. He had come home in 1946 but my father stayed on
:25:41. > :25:46.foreanother two years. It seemed an age to me. I was so attached to him.
:25:46. > :25:52.I remember having I rirb -- irrational fears, that as my dad
:25:52. > :25:55.was not there, the sea would come up and devour us. So, it was mum
:25:55. > :26:02.and me. She was so happy to be back in Northern Ireland.
:26:02. > :26:08.This was her home. This was her family. This is where she came from.
:26:08. > :26:12.It was hard. She was not very rich.we never had money. She was
:26:12. > :26:17.living off an Indian army officer's pension. It was hard. They were
:26:17. > :26:25.tough times. Then my dad came home. That was magic. My God, I remember
:26:25. > :26:31.how life changed when he was here. Yes! Now this, as I recall, it was
:26:31. > :26:37.our sitting room. This was very, very tumble down. I remember the
:26:37. > :26:42.ceilings, bowing, if not down, showing signs of dampness. Dampness,
:26:42. > :26:47.that is what I remember here. I remember mum desperately trying to
:26:47. > :26:52.keep us all warm. This is the bit that I remember so
:26:52. > :26:56.well as a boy. There were little paths in amongst the bushes. We
:26:56. > :27:03.would pretend we had landed by a rubber boat on to the rocky
:27:04. > :27:08.shoreland. They were all adventures but all military adventures. When
:27:08. > :27:16.my dad came home, he would encourage us to adventure and
:27:16. > :27:20.danger. Mum was always saying not to let him do that we had lost one
:27:20. > :27:25.son, she was terrified at losing another.
:27:25. > :27:35.But for the rest of my life I have always had a fear of loss in the
:27:35. > :27:36.
:27:36. > :27:42.family. If I were a Northern Irishman, and
:27:42. > :27:47.I am, and proud of it, then this is where I first dicovered what that
:27:47. > :27:51.means. If they managed to beat the accent out of me at school, they
:27:51. > :28:01.never managed to beat the Paddy out of me. That identity is a huge part
:28:01. > :28:14.
:28:14. > :28:21.of what I have become, of what I am. In credible what you get back when
:28:21. > :28:25.you take them back to their own home? You were saying, Brian, that
:28:25. > :28:33.you great, great grandparents street has a claim to fame? Well,
:28:33. > :28:37.Billy Connolly rang my one day and he said that Bobby Carlisle, Billy
:28:37. > :28:42.Connolly and my grandparents all lived in the same street together.
:28:42. > :28:47.Did they? I wonder what it was? were all Irish immigrants, but your
:28:47. > :28:50.roots are very important. That is what is so nice about that.
