:00:08. > :00:10.Tonight's guests have only been in EastEnders since Christmas and
:00:11. > :00:16.already their life in Walford has been an emotional roller-coaster.
:00:17. > :00:22.They've bought the Queen Vic... Their son has come out as gay...
:00:23. > :00:26.They've stopped their daughter's wedding - on the wedding day... And
:00:27. > :00:27.now they've got to cope with something even more dramatic...
:00:28. > :00:47.Their Bulldog's pregnant! Hello friends and welcome to your
:00:48. > :00:53.Friday One Show. Fearne Cotton's here. And Chris Evans is here. And
:00:54. > :00:57.yes we're joined by the latest, greatest couple on the Square. It's
:00:58. > :01:13.the Carters - Danny Dyer and Kellie Bright. Kellie, how is lady Di?
:01:14. > :01:20.Apparently she is pregnant. Why isn't she here? We thought we'd
:01:21. > :01:35.leave her, she is heavily pregnant and it has been a emotional. Her
:01:36. > :01:43.official other name is Hot Lips. Danny, make sure you are on your
:01:44. > :01:54.best behaviour. Backstage we have someone who will keep you in line.
:01:55. > :01:59.Someone we know you won't want to get on the wrong side of. There she
:02:00. > :02:04.is, reading your book. But if the book comes down you're in trouble.
:02:05. > :02:10.We'll reveal who it is later. Let's have a little look. See if you can
:02:11. > :02:17.recognise her just from behind the book. You should be worried. It is
:02:18. > :02:22.the final rugby weekend. We're looking for the most committed
:02:23. > :02:29.English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Road the fans out there this
:02:30. > :02:33.evening. Send us your photos of you in your most over the top
:02:34. > :02:38.patriotically outfit. Alex flew out to Gatwick this
:02:39. > :02:44.morning on her way to Utah where she is about to attempt the biggest
:02:45. > :02:58.Sport Relief challenge of all time. Climbing to the top of this massive
:02:59. > :03:06.rock. That's Moonlight Buttress - 1,200 feet, or on the Walford
:03:07. > :03:10.scale... 39 Queen Vics. Very high. We could not let Alex go this
:03:11. > :03:14.morning without digging her a surprise sendoff and it all started
:03:15. > :03:22.with a phone call on Radio 2 this morning. Good morning, Alex. Good
:03:23. > :03:39.morning Christopher. We have a surprise for you, are you ready? OK.
:03:40. > :03:53.Five, four, three, two, one... Look round now, Alex.
:03:54. > :03:57.# just call my name, Al be there in a hurry.
:03:58. > :04:20.# you don't have to worry. # ain't no Mountain high enough.
:04:21. > :04:24.Thank you so much. It is potentially the best sendoff I could have ever
:04:25. > :04:39.dream dog. Absolutely amazing. Can I take you all with me.
:04:40. > :04:45.She sounds so relaxed. Alex of course, raising loads of money for
:04:46. > :04:56.vital life changing Sport Relief projects. Matthew recently visited
:04:57. > :05:03.such a knockout examples. I used to go to school in this
:05:04. > :05:12.thing. I have made a lot of mistakes in my life. It has had an effect and
:05:13. > :05:17.it is something I do regret. This area of east London has one of the
:05:18. > :05:20.highest levels of knife and gun violence in the UK. It is a very
:05:21. > :05:29.tough place to grow up where violence can play a part of everyday
:05:30. > :05:34.life. The organisation Fight For Peace is trying to change that. They
:05:35. > :05:41.are trying to instil confidence and boxing by providing martial arts
:05:42. > :05:48.training. This man spends his life getting trouble with the law until a
:05:49. > :05:53.short spell in prison made him reassess the direction his life was
:05:54. > :06:00.taking. Everybody I was with was involved in the same things. I did
:06:01. > :06:09.not see it. When did the change come? I thought this was just a
:06:10. > :06:12.boxing gym, somewhere you could train for free. Once I got involved,
:06:13. > :06:18.I can see the opportunities here. Many people are sceptical. They
:06:19. > :06:23.think people will come here and learn how to fight and then go out
:06:24. > :06:27.there and use it. But you become more patient and understanding. A
:06:28. > :06:32.lot of people come here with alcohol and drug problems, and after being
:06:33. > :06:39.part of the Academy, they are better with their issues. It also helps
:06:40. > :06:44.young people who have been affected by crime, like Bart, who at the age
:06:45. > :06:53.of 13 suffered an horrific attack. People used to call me names. Would
:06:54. > :07:02.be racist to me. I wanted to stand up and scream and tell them to
:07:03. > :07:09.stop. I came home from school and my family were locked outside and I was
:07:10. > :07:16.beaten up badly. I could not get in. Healy are today, do you feel you
:07:17. > :07:20.have control of your life? It took me a lot to get out of the situation
:07:21. > :07:26.I was in before. Coming here and training every day, it clears your
:07:27. > :07:34.mind and your soul as well. My life has changed. We are changing young
:07:35. > :07:37.people 's lives. They are working with others and changing their own
:07:38. > :07:44.lives. We are creating life champions. It teaches young people
:07:45. > :07:50.about themselves and about life. As well as getting fit, they are shown
:07:51. > :07:56.how to interact with others. It looks very intense, this training?
:07:57. > :08:05.Give it a go yourself. Four times. Push, push, push! My life has
:08:06. > :08:15.changed. More positive with myself. I do things I didn't do before. This
:08:16. > :08:18.is a dream that came into my life. I can see why this works, because
:08:19. > :08:29.everything you know is stripped away. It feels good very good.
:08:30. > :08:34.Thanks. You are not just shaking my hand, you are pulling me up off the
:08:35. > :08:39.ground. Fantastic. We have some of the guys
:08:40. > :08:58.here this evening. Can you tell us how everybody can donate?
:08:59. > :09:18.If I were you I would donate. Don't hide behind me! Seriously.
:09:19. > :09:26.If you have got the Radio Times, you will find an envelope. It makes it
:09:27. > :09:35.easy to give any amount you want. Write a cheque, pop on a stamp and
:09:36. > :09:38.post it. Now, Albert Square hasn't been the
:09:39. > :09:49.same since the new family moved in. Here's a quick Carter compilation.
:09:50. > :10:02.You never assault the customers. He assaulted me. Fancy woman writing
:10:03. > :10:13.you love letter is again? What about Johnny's feelings? I think I am
:10:14. > :10:24.going to cry. Everything all right? Just family stuff. I don't take
:10:25. > :10:31.orders, big man. You do now. Mick loves that pink dressing gown
:10:32. > :10:38.doesn't he? It's still freaks me out, I am on EastEnders. That is
:10:39. > :10:47.what I am thinking. I love this pink dressing gown. It is great. I could
:10:48. > :10:52.not wait to put it on. Was that an improvisation, was it in the script?
:10:53. > :10:57.I cannot claim it, they did tell me early doors it would feature. Are
:10:58. > :11:09.they laying some kind of story bomb? She tells me to take it off.
:11:10. > :11:14.It was only set up for one scene. Why did Albert Square need the
:11:15. > :11:23.Carters? Do you want to answer that? It does not need the Carters,
:11:24. > :11:37.but it needed livening up. Yes, it needed livening up, let's be honest.
:11:38. > :11:43.Did it need the Carters? Danny, and so the question. It needed livening
:11:44. > :11:53.up, it was going through a mad stage. It needed some fresh blood.
:11:54. > :12:02.You are like a proper couple! It was a bit of a risk, but I think it has
:12:03. > :12:09.worked. It is based on the real family of the Executive Producer. We
:12:10. > :12:18.are based on his mum and dad. It started from there. Danny, described
:12:19. > :12:25.Kellie's character, Linda? Be careful. No, it is a character, I
:12:26. > :12:34.can say what I want. It is not a personal thing. Aggressive. Stroppy.
:12:35. > :12:43.Old school, but lovable. She is lovable, very loyal. Just to
:12:44. > :12:59.clarify, that is Linda, not Kellie. Can you describe Mick's character?
:13:00. > :13:08.For me, Mick is a cross between Mike Reed and the best bits of Danny
:13:09. > :13:19.Dyer. I like that. That is Mick personified. He came in one day and
:13:20. > :13:27.went, I am a bit worried. Joanne, which is his wife, said she fancied
:13:28. > :13:37.Mick! She said Mick is the best bits of me so outcomes the pink dressing
:13:38. > :13:40.out at home. The family sticks together almost in real life, in the
:13:41. > :13:47.downtime, is there any feuding going on? You spend most of your time with
:13:48. > :13:55.them, so it is natural you become closer to them. Sometimes you don't
:13:56. > :14:02.see anyone for ages, we don't have a lot to do with the butchers. Not
:14:03. > :14:14.that we don't like them! We love them. We see more people, because
:14:15. > :14:24.they come into the pub. You have got your on-screen kids with us. Look
:14:25. > :14:28.how gorgeous they are. Do you mother them when you are on sat?
:14:29. > :14:37.Completely, they are Mike of the children. Very grown-up children.
:14:38. > :14:41.You are going out tonight? We are going out for a bit of dinner. We
:14:42. > :14:48.thought we would treat them. Are you sending them home early? We spoke
:14:49. > :14:54.about her earlier, one member of the Carter family in particular. Lovely,
:14:55. > :15:05.there she is. She has earned her place among so many wonderful
:15:06. > :15:11.EastEnders dogs. This is Geoff. He is three years
:15:12. > :15:16.old. He is my second bulldog, and he is tremendous. He is a source of
:15:17. > :15:24.constant entertainment. Geoff! Come here! Geoff is an inquisitive dog,
:15:25. > :15:28.and I am inquisitive about him. So today, we set off on a void of
:15:29. > :15:35.discovery to find out why Geoff looks like he does, why he acts like
:15:36. > :15:40.he does, why he became the autumn at British icon. I am told that
:15:41. > :15:45.hundreds of years ago, albeit in was a popular sport alongside London's
:15:46. > :15:50.embankment. I am here to find out more. Where do Bulldogs come from?
:15:51. > :15:53.They are first mentioned in literature in 1500. They were
:15:54. > :16:00.possibly brought by the Romans. There was a breed of big boned dogs.
:16:01. > :16:05.Like a mastiff? Absolutely. These early dogs were the ideal butcher's
:16:06. > :16:10.mate, controlling cattle on their way to market and later being used
:16:11. > :16:17.in bull-baiting. A highly enriched all would make meet tender. In those
:16:18. > :16:21.days, we had no meat hygiene laws, so the fact that people could see a
:16:22. > :16:26.bull killed knew it had a reasonable chance of being fresh. It is a lot
:16:27. > :16:30.clearer than a sell by date. The skill of the bulldog was the ability
:16:31. > :16:36.to be able to pin the bull by its nose. They have this recruiting
:16:37. > :16:40.jaw. But it could still breed. I have heard that the bull would
:16:41. > :16:45.sometimes toss the bulldog 30 feet in the air and the owners would be
:16:46. > :16:51.trying to catch it. That is right. Breeders used to breed the dog for a
:16:52. > :16:56.massive head, but now they breed a moderate dog, because it can lead to
:16:57. > :17:01.health problems. Unfortunately, the features we associate with the
:17:02. > :17:05.bulldog are linked with poor health. The face faults can lead to
:17:06. > :17:10.dermatitis and their large head usually rules out a natural birth.
:17:11. > :17:14.Next stop, a West End boozer, home to a Victorian painting with the
:17:15. > :17:19.Picts the bulldog in a whole new light. Dog breeders were looking for
:17:20. > :17:23.other opportunities to show their animals off, so they took them to
:17:24. > :17:28.local pubs like this to indulge in a bit of competition. Pride of place,
:17:29. > :17:34.the Bulldogs. The Victorians loved the bulldog ma and it was seen as
:17:35. > :17:39.the ideal family pet. The breed has consistently been used to beef up
:17:40. > :17:43.our national image. When does the Bill dog start to become a national
:17:44. > :17:52.icon? -- bulldog? It would have happened around the time of the
:17:53. > :17:56.Napoleonic wars. In other conflicts, the dog is used again as a symbol of
:17:57. > :18:00.national pride. If we think of Churchill, he was perfect to be
:18:01. > :18:06.categorised as a bulldog, with his Roundhead and big shoulders. In
:18:07. > :18:11.bulldog owners' Manuels, it always says they will never start a fight,
:18:12. > :18:15.but there will always finish one. Unfortunately, they have an
:18:16. > :18:20.association with blood sports throughout history. It is a bad PR
:18:21. > :18:24.job. People think it is inherently aggressive and dangerous, when
:18:25. > :18:27.actually, they are big softies. And there are plenty more of these big
:18:28. > :18:31.softies at able dog show we have been invited to, an ideal
:18:32. > :18:38.opportunity to meet other Bulldogs and their owners. What do you think
:18:39. > :18:41.defines this breed? Their character, their stoic nurse and extreme
:18:42. > :18:47.courage. I like their facial expressions. They are noisy. They
:18:48. > :18:52.are just quirky. They interact with you. Death can't compete for Best in
:18:53. > :19:08.show, but he has been invited to strut his stuff. We are going to do
:19:09. > :19:14.this. Come on, Geoff! Good boy! He has had a rough time at the hands of
:19:15. > :19:20.man at his most cruel, but he has come through it all the become the
:19:21. > :19:24.proud, beautiful, noble dog he is today. Geoff, we may not have won a
:19:25. > :19:29.rose at today in the dog show, but the lucky thing is, I know I am
:19:30. > :19:36.going home with a mate. Come on, Geoff!
:19:37. > :19:43.OK, Danny this evening has been on his best behaviour. Much better than
:19:44. > :19:47.in rehearsal. And it is a good dog, because watching him all evening has
:19:48. > :19:53.been the one lady we knew could keep him in check if you got out of hand.
:19:54. > :19:57.Ever since you were knee-high to a grasshopper, Danny, she has known
:19:58. > :19:58.you. Please welcome the lady who you said changed your life, your school
:19:59. > :20:18.drama teacher, Jane Flynn! I can't believe it! What a lovely
:20:19. > :20:26.surprise. I have come over all funny. Jane, in rehearsal, we were
:20:27. > :20:35.talking about Danny being talented at school. Very talented. Where did
:20:36. > :20:43.you find her? At school! He was very special. He was committed to his
:20:44. > :20:49.acting? So committed. He was mischievous, a real pain in school.
:20:50. > :20:56.But in drama lessons, he was fab. When was the last time you saw each
:20:57. > :21:06.other? In school. He left to go and do prime suspect when he was about
:21:07. > :21:10.16. Good teacher, Danny? She believed in me when there were not
:21:11. > :21:25.many who did. She was a real support. You have completely done
:21:26. > :21:27.me. You can have a glass of fizz afterwards. St Patrick 's Day is on
:21:28. > :21:32.Monday, but cities all over the UK are kicking things off early with
:21:33. > :21:35.parades this weekend. And with the rugby, celebrations could go on
:21:36. > :21:42.until next thing Patrick 's Day. To ease us into the weekend, how about
:21:43. > :21:48.an intro with our hairy biker, Si King? Had I not been awake, I would
:21:49. > :21:52.have missed it, a wind that roars and world until the roof pattered
:21:53. > :21:57.with quickly off the sycamore. I was introduced to Seamus Heaney by
:21:58. > :22:02.my big sister at the age of 16. She said to me, here, kid, he was
:22:03. > :22:06.some poetry that will help you through the adolescence. And it
:22:07. > :22:12.did, you know. So I'm hearing County Derry today to find out where Seamus
:22:13. > :22:20.Heaney got his inspiration for some of his great literary works. To do
:22:21. > :22:24.that, I need a bike. To get to the heart of Heaney, my first stop is
:22:25. > :22:30.his birthplace, near the village of Castle Dawson. In 1939, Seamus was
:22:31. > :22:37.born into a Catholic family, the eldest of nine, and raised on this
:22:38. > :22:46.farm. Eugene is a local tour guide who knew you need himself. How are
:22:47. > :22:53.you? The helmeted pump in the yard heated its iron. You get the sense
:22:54. > :22:58.of happiness and contentment here. His formative years were spent here.
:22:59. > :23:03.This was the source of his artistic imagination. He returned to it
:23:04. > :23:10.continuously throughout his life and writing. But at the age of 13,
:23:11. > :23:24.Heaney's world was shattered by personal tragedy. The bumper knocked
:23:25. > :23:30.him clear. It was the death of his brother in an accident, on a road
:23:31. > :23:39.just outside the farm. That was the first major tragedy in his life.
:23:40. > :23:44.Next stop, one of Seamus's childhood friend, the local blacksmith,
:23:45. > :23:52.Barney. His forge was immortalised in one of Heaney's classics. Good to
:23:53. > :23:56.meet you, sir. This is it. All I know is the door into the dock.
:23:57. > :24:02.Outside, old axles and iron hoops. Inside, the hammered and will's
:24:03. > :24:10.short on the pitch ring. Did Seamus, and down this street? As a school
:24:11. > :24:19.lad, he went to school. This is the famous anvil? That is right. His
:24:20. > :24:25.description was terrific. Right down to the unicorn in the centre of the
:24:26. > :24:29.floor. That is it. My life is complete. By the late 1960s, Heaney
:24:30. > :24:34.was a university lecturer in Belfast and a critically acclaimed poet.
:24:35. > :24:38.But as the troubles engulfed Northern Ireland, his poems turned
:24:39. > :24:45.to the political. My final destination is the scene of one of
:24:46. > :24:51.his most powerful, the Strand. I dab you clean with Moss, fine as the
:24:52. > :24:57.drizzle out of a low cloud. I lift you under the arms and lay
:24:58. > :25:04.you flat. This poem is dedicated to Seamus Heaney's second cousin.
:25:05. > :25:13.Paramilitaries stopped his car and he was murdered in 1975. He wrote
:25:14. > :25:18.this poem to commemorate Callum, who was associated in his mind with this
:25:19. > :25:23.area. The poem kind of gives me a mission to grieve. There is must did
:25:24. > :25:29.there, and the sheer desperation of grief that you would do anything to
:25:30. > :25:33.bring the person back. The Nobel prize-winning writer would later
:25:34. > :25:38.court controversy as a proud Irish nationalist. He once wrote, my
:25:39. > :25:43.passport is green. No glass vase was ever raised toast the Queen. At
:25:44. > :25:47.Heaney's legacy is that his work is taught in schools from both
:25:48. > :25:53.communities in Northern Ireland. It has been a privilege to read the
:25:54. > :25:57.poetry of Seamus Heaney in the land where it was written, and to talk to
:25:58. > :26:02.people that knew him and the emotion of his poetry and the sheer truth of
:26:03. > :26:11.it is a legacy to be proud of. Thank you, Seamus. Thank you for not being
:26:12. > :26:14.afraid to speak the truth. Earlier, we asked for photos of you
:26:15. > :26:19.in your most patriotic gear ahead of the Six Nations final tomorrow. We
:26:20. > :26:25.are going to show one from each of the home nations . Sorry, Scotland,
:26:26. > :26:34.you are in fourth place. Alistair and Fiona sent this picture. Next,
:26:35. > :26:43.Wales' representatives. In second place, England fans. And tomorrow's
:26:44. > :26:52.favourites, Ireland, represented by Keith, who is rocking his leprechaun
:26:53. > :26:56.outfit. Thanks for watching. All that remains for us to do is say
:26:57. > :27:01.thank you to our guest is, Danny and Kellie! And of course, a massive
:27:02. > :27:07.good luck to Alex on her Sport Relief challenge. Let's kick sent
:27:08. > :27:10.Patrick 's day off now. Playing is out, it is the stars of the West End
