14/04/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to our start to the bank holiday weekend One Show

with me, Angelus Daniel and -- Angela Scanlon, and back by popular

demand, Al Murray! I have had a wonderful Good Friday. I went to the

tip this morning, and I had 15 hours in make up to achieve this. We have

got everything you need for a perfect Good Friday - food and

music. The food comes from Bake Off when a Nasir Hossain and Hairy Biker

babe Minh Myers. Here's the multi-million selling comeback king

who is conquering both sides of the Atlantic, James Arthur will be

performing a new track from his latest album before we all go home.

And it is the work experience guy. Not just anyone, he is a comedian

who has had a host of jobs. He has been a catalyst. A wedding planner.

A Scout leader. And most recently, a builder. Just don't ask any DIY

tips! I should probably right on the bits of wood. 114.5... That's a 11.

Is that 114.5? I did saw that off. It's only Rhod Gilbert!

APPLAUSE The confusion on your face. I found

that stressful, watching it. I was thinking, what was 114? Back in the

moment? Back in a moment. That was from your show where you try on a

different job... I try on a different job? You are not exactly

an expert with a measuring tape, are you? I have done a lot of jobs, but

this one I was worried about, because DIY is really, really,

really... I've only ever done it once. I attempted an IKEA wardrobe,

and I did it all on the ground, one of the worst days of my life. I

thought, this is it, and the doors wouldn't open. They opened inwards.

We assume no DIY over the bank holiday weekend? No DIY. Every year

there are warnings of bank holiday weekend travel chaos, and this year

is no exception. If you are part of the estimated 20 million car

journeys being made this weekend and you have reached your destination,

well done. If you are still stuck in traffic, commiserations. And how are

you even watching this? Eyes on the road! We are sampling the great

Easter getaway en route to Blackpool.

I travelled a lot last night to avoid the traffic this morning. It

was still quite busy last night. The traffic was pretty bad on the way

up. Typical M6 on a bank holiday. When we are stuck, we look for

different animals, different coloured cars, we count them. We

look for trucks, beggars, anything we can see, they are all interested

in that. These are row grandchildren. We are going dancing

tomorrow night. We might pop into the ballroom over the holidays and

have a dance. We're going to jungle Jim's that the children. They like

going on the beach. There are the donkeys, they get an ice cream.

We're going to a barbecue on Easter Sunday. We are! And then out for

lunch with friends on Easter Monday. One of the problems we had

travelling over last night, we woke up this morning to put on some

clothes and didn't have any, so I have to go into town and buy clothes

otherwise I will be walking around like the local Scouser. When I was a

child, I used to go to Cornwall, and it would take about 12 hours. We

once went to the Isle of Wight and that took a day and a half. We used

to go down to Cornwall as children, and the traffic was horrendous,

coming home especially. It would be like 13 hours coming back. We would

go on a Friday morning, going, so you beat all the traffic. I used to

take my wife and their children to Cornwall with a caravan on the back.

Plenty of fond memories, shall we say, of myself, my brother and

sister in the back, waiting for the traffic to move. RADIO: The weather

forecast for bank holiday Friday... Typical bank holiday weather. RADIO:

It's going to be cloudy. It's a little bit rainy and windy. Maybe

try and get out with the girls tomorrow. I think it is just rain,

rain, rain, but be get used to it in the north-west. They all look happy,

at least. Rhod, in your new series, you have done a million jobs,

really, well, 27, over a number of series, but in real life, you work

as a waiter. I've done most things in real life, apart from the TV

series. That was my first ever job. As a young lad. Young... Lad. Where

you any good at that? I was sacked on the first night. White? Two

reasons. One was an Irish coffee that wasn't my fault, and some peas

that were my fault. You like did you mix the cream with the... I have

gone over it over the years. The copy smashed on a table. We did this

flash thing with Irish copy on the table in front of people, with

boiling water and all this stuff will stop I took the conducting

spoon out. The peas want my fault. They want my fault! It is good to

see that you are over it. That we need to talk about your new series.

The peas! They went down the back and it wasn't my fault because they

hadn't trained me properly. How do you choose the jobs for this? In

amongst all this, paranormal investigator - how do you pick that?

Nothing exciting. It is probably the smallest team in TV. This is the

size of our team on Work Experience. We have a cameraman and a director.

It is probably the smallest team of any show. It is BBC Wales, what do

you expect? We literally sit down and think what jobs would be fun and

would last half an hour of TV? Not everything would do that. With the

paranormal one specifically, I think the other to make guys just wanted

to put me in a situation but I was terrified. I don't even believe in

it and I was terrified. Absolutely terrified of something I don't

believe in. In the latest series, Europe florist, and you had a bit of

difficulty telling the difference between real and flowers. Wasn't my

fault! What is different about this one, can you tell? What is

different? Does it feel any different from a usual flower? It's

not a real flower? It's not a real flower. That took how long? Is that

real or fake? That is artificial. Fake? No. Surely you know what this

is. And onion. This is a daffodil. APPLAUSE

You were like a toddler. In that, I could not tell a fake one from a

real one. The real flowers mustered in water. What gave it away... They

comes out in the rest of the UK in a couple weeks, and if you watch it,

the only reason I could tell a fake one was because they have a bar code

on the site. The clues are there! What was your worst job? There have

been so many. I think a lot of people come up to me and say they

envy me for the experience of flying a fast jet. I do. I get a lot of

that, you are so lucky it's my dream. It is a kid's dream to fly

one of those things. I hated it. I would rather do the bins again. Was

a emotional fear? Fear and emotion, that's exactly what it was. You

don't need to go on. Fear, and the emotion of going however fast it

was, 500 miles another. It's not very nice at tea-time, but I was

sick eight times. In a bag? Two bags. When I took the controls, I

had two fall sick bags. And you were sitting like that? I don't think it

even has a steering wheel, to be honest. If you like that sort of

stuff, you can watch what Gilbert's Work Experience. She knows all the

listings. If you live in Wales, you've already seen it! Time to

motor down memory lane with a man who has also tried a number of jobs

in his long career. He was a painter and make up artist before finally

settling on every biker. Mining's Dave Myers. -- my name is

Dave Myers. We travelled over last night to avoid the traffic. You will

know me as the better looking, perhaps younger half of the Hairy

Bikers. Nice buns, do it! But today, I'm going back to the place where I

grew up in an Barrow in Furness, Cumbria.

# Are you really need in the years # Stowing away the time... #.

This is my old street, this is my old house, where I grew up. My dad

was a paper maker who worked in a mill. She was a crane driver in the

shipyard. She was a brilliant cook as well as being a crane driver. On

a coach trip to Switzerland, that's when I was conceived. She went to

Doctor Morrison and thought she had an ovarian cyst. She didn't, it was

me, but this is where it all started. It was round the corner in

the backstreet that as kids would have fun. In those days, motorcycles

were the working man's form of transport. My D had a -- my dad had

a PSA. He would let me hold the handlebars. As soon as I was old

enough, I was going to have a motorbike. Until then, I had to make

do with my push-bike. It wasn't all play. I have got solid evidence is

that I was a hard-working chap. There was 40 in the class, 89 in the

year, and I was top. I was only let down by spelling in English. But

when I was eight, my mum was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.

Within about six months to a year, she was in a wheelchair. I was going

home to help look after her, help carry her up the stairs. It was

around that time that I started to lose all my hair. I got alopecia.

One of the doctors decided it was the stress of my mum's condition.

Isn't it ironic? I used to be the school baldie, now I'm a Hairy

Biker. One thing about my mum's illness, it forced me to learn to

cook. This is the radiation cookery book. It came from the 1930s. I

found a recipe for some bits from the fridge that I could cook. A

cheese and potato pie. I am 59 now what I last cup is when I was nine,

so, ladies and gentlemen, shall we eat? That is a taste from the past.

It takes me right back. But it was out on the open road riding with my

father on his motorbike where I got to forget my childhood worries.

# Born to be wild... #. Just 15 minutes from our house was

Morecambe Bay and Rhode Island, where me and my dad would go

fishing. When I was 18, dad had a stroke, which meant he could no

longer care for my mother. I was now faced with the prospect of having to

care for both of my parents. One of my parents had to go into full-time

care, and my mum, I knew she wouldn't get better. She went into

hospital and it was left me to care from my father until he was well

again. You know, when he was well, that was when I got my chance to

spread my wings, and I got the opportunity to go to art school in

London, which was something I had always dog. My friend Graham, whom I

shared -- I had known since I was in my mid teens, had already gone to

Goldsmiths to study fine Art and was keen for me to join him.

You were always cheerful, but I knew you had issues. I think the art was

a kind of release. We painted through night. Your father was

there, but it was like parental control wasn't your big thing. You

ran the place yourself. I knew if I was going to do anything with art, I

had to leave Barrow. It must have been a wrench. I said to him and I

don't think I meant him, it's all right I can get a job here. He said

if you get in that shipyard, I'll break your legs! The day I left to

go to London it was a mixture of fear and apprehension. But I knew I

had to leave. But this was the place that made me the person I am. I will

always be a Barrow boy at heart. Thank you for that Dave. Sorry about

the slip up at the start of film. We have a work experience person in

charge. Now we thought we would try you with an unusual Easter

tradition. You will need this blind fold. We present the Monkseaton

Morris men performing a traditional egg-dance.

APPLAUSE. Thank you, Paul and Alan. This is really happening. That is

supposed to happen at the end. It finishes the dance off. The bump is

something we do to finish it off. What did you call it? A pump? A

bump! What are the origins of the egg dance. It is believed to go back

hundreds of centuries. You look well on it! As early as the Saxon times.

There are extracts from books found in the 1,700, but the traditions are

a bit of fun. What happens, do you do a show? We are dancing in

Trafalgar Square in May. If somebody kicks the egg, they have to buy the

drinks? Yes. Are the eggs smashable. Yes, they're porcelain eggs, so

they're breakable. But we try not to break them. Otherwise you have to

get the drinks in. R rod Rhod you have been watching and we thought we

would replace the porcelain eggs with chocolate ones. Have you got

any tips for Rhod. What we say before we dance is just - break an

egg! Actually that's a good point. We need two. Two what? Lads. Men.

I'm sure. We have got a lovely audience. Go on, get in there.

APPLAUSE. Blind fold them. Time for Rhod Gilbert and Al Murray's work...

I can still see a bit. But it's not a problem.

Work You have got one. That was quite something. Clumsy. Keep that

on if you want. Thank you guys. Never again! Not long until James

Arthur performs his new single. But first a new double act. If you're

still working wlut pudding to -- out what pudding to make for Easter

lunch, they may have the answer. These are the growers at the

allotments in Birmingham and between now and December we will be working

with them to plan, harvest and cook seasonal fruit and veg. Between us

hopefully we can give them lots of tips and it is spring. Perfect time

for seasonal veg. Dave and Jan have had their plot for over 20 years.

The lettuces are looking good. They're ready to go out. Who will

put them out? You will be. It is like an organ grinder and a monkey.

He is the organ grinder and I'm the monkey. That rhubarb is looking all

right. This is our early one. It will be nice and sweet. There is a

special hidden crop of rhubarb. Under neath here... It is forced

rhubarb. What forces it to grow? Baz it's in search of the light. So it

is growing up right. This forced rhubarb is going to taste delicious.

The newest member of community is Jazz. He plans to grow his favourite

Asian veg. I want to grow this. To you know this? In Bengali it is

called Cininda. This is my least favourite vegetable. That is the

best. It is good for diabetes. You're anned an adventurous man.

Before Jazz starts planting, he needs to test his soil. For a few

quid you can buy a PH test kit. For most vegetables, you want its about

7, which is neutral. This is like a DNA test on the soil. I think that

might be neutral. You're ready to go. As Jazz celebrates, we get

cooking. We are making a rhubarb and mint fool. Let's use the things in

the allotment. OK. When you stew it down, the lime will stop it browning

much. You don't seem to be using quantities? No, I'm winging it. We

are in the middle of an allotment. But are we making a gallon, half a

gallon? How much fool can you eat? Well a lot. We whip up the whites of

three eggs and a lot of fresh cream. Who can get in there first? And

Brian is busy planting. Hi. How are you doing. I see potatoes. Yes. What

variety is that? It is rocket I believe. That is an early variety.

Well chited. For early varieties, you need to start them into growth.

You grab one. And they want to be in about 12 inches apart. 12 inches.

With the shoots facing upwards. Come, come on. Come on. You and your

tape measure. I like that! The ones we're planting will be ready by

June? Probably about June. . Just in time for our next visit. Now to put

our rhubarb fool together. We will bring that to the edge. Does it need

a bit more? Maybe. Three spoonfuls. Go wild. That has to be the freshest

rhubarb fool I have made. There is a enough people around here that will

want a taste. This is awesome. I hope my rhubarb tastes as good as

this. Pass it around before they get greedy. Now hello James Arthur. How

you doing. Very well. Welcome to The One Show. You're on the crest of a

wave in America with some big shows? Yes, I'm doing Jimmy Fallon and

Ellen. But I'm doing The One Show tonight. Your singing is range has

increased as well as your profile. Well I got punched in the nose a few

times as a youngster and I had it put back into place and that helped.

You haven't lost the nasal effect. I think that's built in. You're

playing Wembley soon? Yes. I'm doing an arena tour in November with Ella

Henderson. Looking forward to that. You need to practice your, hello

Wembley. I have played Wembley. Hello Wembley! Can't compete with

that. Feel free to start warming up the vokal chords. Playing us out can

Can I Be Him, this is James Arthur. Happy Easter!

# You walked into the room and now my hearts been stolen

# Could I be the one you talk about in all your stories?

# Can I be the one

# Oh when you sing it again

# Oh when you sing it again,

# I swear that every word you sing you wrote them for me

# Like it was a private show but I know you never saw me

# When the lights come on, and I'm on my own will you be there

# Can I be the one you talk about in all your stories?

# Can I be him? #
