Hello and welcome to the One Show with Alex Jones.

:00:17.:00:19.

Tonight we're going back to school - so pay attention at the back.

:00:20.:00:26.

Let us talk you though tonight's time table.

:00:27.:00:32.

We have double drama with Mr Adil Ray and Miss Sunetra Sarker,

:00:33.:00:35.

the stars of the new school based series, Ackley Bridge.

:00:36.:00:43.

Music master Mr Gareth Malone will be waxing lyrical

:00:44.:00:45.

about his new singing show, Pitch Battle.

:00:46.:00:50.

And, when it comes to art, we could all learn a lesson

:00:51.:00:53.

from the artist behind The Singing Butler, Jack Vettriano.

:00:54.:00:57.

Tonight his latest subject, Billy Connolly, will be telling us

:00:58.:01:01.

And here they all are present and correct -

:01:02.:01:08.

Adil Ray, Sunetra Sarker and Gareth Malone!

:01:09.:01:10.

Hello. You got the memo co-ordinating beautifully like a

:01:11.:01:24.

choir. Denim choir. Very good. Gareth you have been a teacher. Your

:01:25.:01:28.

wife is teacher? Very good teacher. She's watching. What does he she

:01:29.:01:33.

teach in English in a secondary school in London. I aspire to be as

:01:34.:01:39.

God a disciplinarian as her. I don't think I will make it. . What did

:01:40.:01:43.

they think of your teaching technique of using beat boxing? It

:01:44.:01:47.

was through talking to her, getting to the left... Years ago I went into

:01:48.:01:56.

a school and it wasn't working. Hello, we will do beat Bocking in

:01:57.:02:01.

and made choir cooler. From there you can work out. I learnt to beat

:02:02.:02:06.

box, too. We have to ask, come on. You have to beat box for us, come

:02:07.:02:15.

on. That's it. Please don't make me do any more.

:02:16.:02:19.

APPLAUSE I'm sorry I asked. So am I. That was

:02:20.:02:23.

not rears hadded, ladies and gentlemen. As we've mentioned, we

:02:24.:02:27.

will be joined later by Jack Vettriano.

:02:28.:02:33.

of three artists who've recently painted a portrait of

:02:34.:02:36.

Billy Connolly to celebrate the Big Yin's 75th birthday.

:02:37.:02:38.

All three portraits have now been supersized into huge murals and put

:02:39.:02:41.

on the side of buildings in Billy's native Glasgow.

:02:42.:02:45.

Tonight we've sent a roving One Show cameraman to race around the city

:02:46.:02:48.

Here's the route he's going to follow and, hopefully,

:02:49.:02:54.

he should be somewhere near Barrowland Park right now,

:02:55.:02:56.

This is the portrait by Rachel Maclean. Part-time performer and

:02:57.:03:10.

part-time film-maker. There it is. This mural is a large printed photo

:03:11.:03:15.

of a portrait she took of Billy. The outfit references some

:03:16.:03:24.

of Billy's famous jokes. Lots of detail there. The detail is

:03:25.:03:45.

a bicycle parked out of a bum. R what do you three think? That's my

:03:46.:03:51.

house. It doesn't look like Billy Connolly. It looks like Leonardo

:03:52.:03:55.

DiCaprio. While our Connolly-cam

:03:56.:04:00.

hunts out the next mural, let's head to Yorkshire and a food

:04:01.:04:02.

fight that's starting to heat up. What seems like a simple

:04:03.:04:06.

and effective scheme to combat food waste has now put it's creator head

:04:07.:04:08.

to head with Trading Standards. This is Adam Smith, he runs the Real

:04:09.:04:18.

Junk Food Project in Leeds they distribute unused food. It's in

:04:19.:04:24.

danger of being shut down. This particular area of work, this is

:04:25.:04:31.

your share house. This was the world's first waste supermarket.

:04:32.:04:34.

It's a network of people who come together to fight food waste or

:04:35.:04:40.

abolish unnecessary amounts of food wasted that is perfectly edible for

:04:41.:04:45.

food consumption. We get it from wholesalers and supermarkets and we

:04:46.:04:48.

have relationships with some of the biggest retailers in the country.

:04:49.:04:52.

The industry is classing it as waste, but it's fit for human

:04:53.:04:56.

consumption. We are highlighting what we can do with this waste food.

:04:57.:05:00.

He is sure it's fit for human con surpgs he is providing it it to

:05:01.:05:07.

schools. Hunger was a barrier to learning here at school. Children

:05:08.:05:12.

were coming here hungry. We were committed to do something about it.

:05:13.:05:18.

Working with Adam and the project we found surplus food and feed it to

:05:19.:05:21.

our children. Adam supplies nine calf yays around Leeds. Not been

:05:22.:05:25.

working recently because of my health. To have somewhere to come

:05:26.:05:33.

and take things home for my boy is helpful. You both work here. If

:05:34.:05:38.

something has a use by date on it, what would you do with that? If it

:05:39.:05:42.

looks all right to use, we will use it. If it's not all right to use we

:05:43.:05:47.

will put it in the compost bin. We won't feed anybody else it if we

:05:48.:05:52.

won't eat it ourselves. Trading Standards have been unhappy about

:05:53.:05:57.

you supplying some food that is past its used by date. What exactly

:05:58.:06:00.

happened? Basically, they found food in our fridge that had gone past its

:06:01.:06:05.

use by date. They weren't happy with it. 400 items. There is no proof to

:06:06.:06:10.

say we were going to supply the general public, it was in the public

:06:11.:06:14.

domain. Why? We were going to consume it ourselves or use it

:06:15.:06:19.

ourselves. Is there any of that food in there now? No. We told Trading

:06:20.:06:27.

Standards we will no longer make any food past its used by date in the

:06:28.:06:32.

public domain. Is that past its used by date? Use by date has

:06:33.:06:36.

legislation. It is about the safety of food. If you think of raw

:06:37.:06:40.

chicken. If you eat that food past its used by date there is a chance

:06:41.:06:45.

you can become sick. Do the customers of the project worry the

:06:46.:06:49.

food isn't safe? No. It doesn't bother me. It's a waste of time. It

:06:50.:06:55.

doesn't suddenly just go bad, does it? Fresh fruit. Often it doesn't

:06:56.:07:00.

have a date on it. You go to a market stall there is no date labels

:07:01.:07:05.

on a market stall. Give it a squeeze. You can look at it and you

:07:06.:07:10.

can tell. We would be concerned we have a robust risk assessment and

:07:11.:07:14.

proprocedures in place all the time we have been doing this nobody has

:07:15.:07:21.

been poorly. Even though Adam is saying he wants to challenge how

:07:22.:07:26.

food is labelled. The trouble with Can Trading Standards they are

:07:27.:07:29.

putting it at risk? They have the power to shut down the operations.

:07:30.:07:35.

Sainsbury's and Marks and Spencers who will not supply us with any

:07:36.:07:38.

donations of food. If we are going to be prosecuted because of a use by

:07:39.:07:44.

date why do we have these dates causing unnecessary waste and

:07:45.:07:49.

costing a problem cost wise and stopping us getting the food to as

:07:50.:07:53.

many people as possible. Trading Standards say they are unable to

:07:54.:07:57.

comment on specific details it's an ongoing investigation. Andy has his

:07:58.:08:02.

resolution meeting with Trading Standards on the 30th June. We will

:08:03.:08:04.

see what happens. We will incompetent deed. We will keep you

:08:05.:08:12.

updated. Are you sticklers for sell by dates on food? I don't know. I'm

:08:13.:08:18.

not. A week is all right after sell by. Milk becomes yoghurt. I can't

:08:19.:08:28.

sniff milk. Matthew is my personal milk sniffer. Smell my milk! Yes.

:08:29.:08:34.

It's lovely that you have a purpose. It has turned into Mrs Brown's Boys.

:08:35.:08:40.

She can't drink a cup of tea without me having smelt it. That's an

:08:41.:08:43.

insight. Let's talk about Pitch Battle. A big show starting this

:08:44.:08:47.

Saturday. How do you want to sum this up, Gareth? It's a fantastic

:08:48.:08:53.

Saturday night style shiny celebration of all the kind of

:08:54.:08:58.

wonderful different genres of singing groups out there in this

:08:59.:09:01.

musical country. We have so much talent here. You in the past have

:09:02.:09:06.

criticised shows like X Factor. Have I? Yeah, you have. We have quotes,

:09:07.:09:13.

Gareth Malone. All right. How would you describe this one in terms of

:09:14.:09:20.

how it is different? X Factor and The Voice is about finding artists

:09:21.:09:24.

to sell records or a pro ticket to the public. This is, like the series

:09:25.:09:31.

I did before, great groups who are entertaining. There is no record

:09:32.:09:34.

contract at the end of it. There is a cash prize. A big cash prize?

:09:35.:09:43.

?50,000. We have some of the contestants who have spent the

:09:44.:09:47.

?50,000. The major difference for me it's a show that is about the

:09:48.:09:54.

musical skill. All the panel are singers or performers or have a

:09:55.:09:59.

choral background. We are there to pick out the nitty-gritty like on

:10:00.:10:08.

Strictly, that is not a rumba. What is the concept of the competition?

:10:09.:10:13.

We start with six groups. By the end you have one. They can be from any

:10:14.:10:20.

musical genre. One versus another and we bring it down in a series of

:10:21.:10:24.

Riff Offs. They are the dramatic heart of the whole thing. They can

:10:25.:10:29.

be on a theme. It can be love or it could be hate or anything. Each, if

:10:30.:10:36.

you have seen the Pitch Perfect Movies. We love. Great fun. There is

:10:37.:10:42.

a swim in a disused swimming pool. One group sings a song and then the

:10:43.:10:46.

other group sings a song. They battle. The lovely key less is my

:10:47.:10:52.

co-judge and superstar judge and we Sid sit there and say - I didn't

:10:53.:10:57.

like it or we like it and chose one. Let's look at one of the Riff Offs.

:10:58.:11:05.

It's not in a swimming pool by way. # I know that I let you down

:11:06.:11:15.

# Is it to late I'm sorry now? # Don't need anybody else

:11:16.:11:18.

# I can't help myself # I don't need anybody else

:11:19.:11:30.

# Saviour of the universe # Too sexy for this song... #

:11:31.:11:38.

APPLAUSE You are like this Gareth. Loving it.

:11:39.:11:43.

That says to me you are a supportive judge? Yeah, I am. When I like

:11:44.:11:47.

something I'm happy to say. I get excited. I get up on the table at

:11:48.:11:52.

one point in this series. I enjoy. It it's what I love. Amateurs and

:11:53.:11:57.

professionals and people who live and breathe singing. Joyious. You

:11:58.:12:02.

mentioned Kelis? Yes. A Ron doom pairing. No. Other than her

:12:03.:12:06.

milkshake what does she bring to the yard? Very good. She brought this

:12:07.:12:12.

boy to the yard. She's great. I think most people will know her from

:12:13.:12:20.

that songs quite R She was in choirs, Harlem Girls Choir. She's a

:12:21.:12:25.

proper musician. What is her milkshake like? It tastes great!

:12:26.:12:30.

Can't possibly comment. Don't go back there I will have to start

:12:31.:12:35.

smelling it before long. You are the milk expert. We have a Pitch Battle

:12:36.:12:41.

exclusive later when two of the groups in the show will battle it

:12:42.:12:47.

out in a Riff Off. We have them here. Are you ready for this?

:12:48.:12:53.

# Yes we are # YEEESSS! ... #

:12:54.:12:57.

Wow! APPLAUSE

:12:58.:13:06.

Before all that, let's go back to Glasgow.

:13:07.:13:16.

been on the hunt for the three massive Billy Connelly murals.

:13:17.:13:20.

We've already seen one and now he should be at the site

:13:21.:13:22.

of the second which is on the corner of Osborne Street and Old Wynd,

:13:23.:13:26.

Are you there? Yes, he's there. He's panning on to something. John Byrne

:13:27.:13:29.

is the artist. That's nice. John Byrne has been friends

:13:30.:13:38.

with Billy for many years and this is not the first time

:13:39.:13:40.

he has painted him. When Billy was in a band

:13:41.:13:43.

called The Humblebums, Their relationship has gone on for a

:13:44.:13:48.

long time. Mugshot style. I like this one. What do we think? I like

:13:49.:13:53.

it a lot. Billy looks like Billy Connolly. He's quite cross. Played

:13:54.:14:04.

with the fact it's his 75th birthday and initials. Has he been an

:14:05.:14:09.

influence to you, Adil? Fantasticing actor. Phenomenal. We will get on to

:14:10.:14:13.

your acting shortly. Sorry. Don't worry, sit tight everyone. Two

:14:14.:14:19.

down, one to go. I may be biased, but we're

:14:20.:14:27.

saving the best until last because the final mural is based

:14:28.:14:30.

on Jack Vettriano's portrait of Billy, and we'll be chatting

:14:31.:14:32.

to the artist himself very soon. But what does his

:14:33.:14:35.

portrait look like? Well, let's find out

:14:36.:14:37.

because this is what happened It's hard to believe I know, but I

:14:38.:14:50.

turn 75 this year. So I'm coming home for a birthday treat. Sensation

:14:51.:14:57.

seekers welcome to the show. To meet one of my favourite artistes who has

:14:58.:15:01.

offered to immortalise little old me. Jack Vettriano's one of the most

:15:02.:15:07.

successful artists around. His most popular painting, The Singing

:15:08.:15:10.

Butler, is one of the world's bestselling prints. Billy. Nice to

:15:11.:15:16.

see you, man. You, too. I don't know what this guy looks like iech

:15:17.:15:19.

couldn't pick him out of a police line-up. It's will havely to meet

:15:20.:15:24.

you. You too, you too. Jack doesn't usually do portraits.

:15:25.:15:27.

He has decided to make an exception for yours truly. I've followed your

:15:28.:15:31.

career. That first time on park kinson, I could see you visibly,

:15:32.:15:37.

sort of, trem bling. You were very nervous. It was so endearing. You

:15:38.:15:43.

are the King in Scotland, the Big Yin. What does it mean? The big one.

:15:44.:15:47.

The big one, I see! I finished that show and I flew back

:15:48.:16:01.

to Glasgow and I was coming through the airport and the airport started

:16:02.:16:02.

to applaud. I thought, I have done something

:16:03.:16:10.

here. To step into the limelight is weird. It is astonishing, Billy. I

:16:11.:16:16.

still get nervous because I think I don't belong here, this is not my

:16:17.:16:20.

patch. Well, I am very proud to be painted by you. Well, I am very

:16:21.:16:26.

flattered to hear that. I just hope I do it justice. I feel as though I

:16:27.:16:30.

should be standing on the beach with a tide going out. And a bowler hat?

:16:31.:16:36.

Yes, and a Butler. Jack works from photographs and he has been watching

:16:37.:16:41.

an old series I made back in the 1990s to inspire him, World Tour of

:16:42.:16:43.

Scotland. We are near John O'Groats. In

:16:44.:16:50.

tropical Scotland! Waterfalls go up instead of down, look!

:16:51.:16:54.

This was the first sequence I saw and I thought, I really like this.

:16:55.:17:01.

And that, I think, is the image. It is great, there is a lot of life in

:17:02.:17:05.

it with the water going through my hair. This is a bit of a challenge.

:17:06.:17:12.

Trying to let people see that. The biggest challenge is finding where

:17:13.:17:19.

to put the umbrella! It has been a real pleasure to meet you and more

:17:20.:17:24.

than that, it has been an inspiration to paint job portrait.

:17:25.:17:29.

Thank you very much. Now, get on with it! Right! That is me up the

:17:30.:17:35.

road while the master gets to work. It is terrifying! It really is.

:17:36.:17:41.

There is nothing scientific about that, I just start at the bottom and

:17:42.:17:46.

I work up. His hair is difficult to do. I am now working on a Scottish

:17:47.:17:55.

sky, trying to make it quite sort of stormy looking.

:17:56.:18:05.

Do you think you will like it? It is a year since we met and I have

:18:06.:18:14.

come to Glasgow's famous Kelvingrove Museum to see the portrait Jack has

:18:15.:18:19.

created for my birthday. As I live and breathe, Jack Vettriano! Lovely

:18:20.:18:26.

to see you. Enough of the chat, show me the work. Oh, my God! Oh, it is

:18:27.:18:36.

great! You have got it. I remember the day so well. I remember the cold

:18:37.:18:42.

and the wind, you have got the power of that day. The title is Dr

:18:43.:18:48.

Connolly, I presume? Which I thought was all right. OK with that? I am so

:18:49.:18:56.

pleased you like it. I do, I love it. Yes, I think you have passed

:18:57.:19:01.

your audition, Jack Vettriano, it will let you do another painting.

:19:02.:19:08.

Thank you. We are now joined by Jack Vettriano

:19:09.:19:13.

and we are so lucky to have a lovely and warm film and a lovely insight

:19:14.:19:17.

into yourself and Billy and you grew up with Billy? Yes, I first heard it

:19:18.:19:24.

Billy Connolly album when I was 20. I could not believe this quality of

:19:25.:19:31.

humour. Which was right out of the shipyards. I had been listening to

:19:32.:19:36.

Bob Monkhouse and God bless you if you there, I don't mean you any

:19:37.:19:42.

harm, but you understand? That sort of stand-up comedy, one joke at a

:19:43.:19:50.

time. Billy is an astonishing observer of just the tiniest things

:19:51.:19:56.

in life. And it just makes him... We will never see his like again, of

:19:57.:20:01.

that, I am sure. This opportunity came to you at a time that was not

:20:02.:20:06.

the best time for you because you had had a shoulder injury. Yes, I

:20:07.:20:10.

dislocated my shoulder. Because I have not had any problems with my

:20:11.:20:16.

body before, I just thought it would heal itself. I did not think it

:20:17.:20:23.

needed physio. And time went on and time went on, and it just was not

:20:24.:20:28.

working. And I got a call from the BBC to say, we would like to

:20:29.:20:33.

Commission you to do a portrait. And I thought, this has to be done. Had

:20:34.:20:39.

you been doing much painting? No, I had not. I had a physio session one

:20:40.:20:45.

morning and after the physio left, I thought, I am going to do this now.

:20:46.:20:51.

I always do a small study so I did the small study. I thought, you have

:20:52.:20:55.

not lost it! Thank goodness! We saw the finished

:20:56.:21:02.

article in a film, it is behind you. You did look quite nervous at the

:21:03.:21:07.

end when Billy came to see it. What was that experience like and how

:21:08.:21:13.

will you feeling? Well, I really paint portraits. And so therefore,

:21:14.:21:22.

what I do paint, I put it up on a wall and it is for sale and you like

:21:23.:21:28.

it or you do not. When it is a portrait, it is entirely different.

:21:29.:21:31.

You are desperate that the sitter loves it. I can imagine. I will not

:21:32.:21:39.

say too much, but nerves did play a big part that day! Well, the

:21:40.:21:44.

paintings that you have, they are so iconic. Going back to the beginning,

:21:45.:21:50.

where did you love of painting, from and where you from a family of

:21:51.:21:57.

artists? Well, my grandfather, my Italian grandfather, he used to love

:21:58.:22:03.

betting on horses and in those days, it was not computerised. You would

:22:04.:22:07.

go on and get a small white sheet of paper and you would put your horses

:22:08.:22:13.

in it. He used to bring back stacks of them, every ten seconds. I

:22:14.:22:24.

learned how to speed up a bit. And then it lapsed a bit and when I was

:22:25.:22:29.

22, a girl bought me a box of watercolours and I started to paint.

:22:30.:22:36.

But not too seriously. And I think what the amateur artist as I was has

:22:37.:22:43.

to do is, they have to do something that gives them a quick result. So I

:22:44.:22:48.

did not have any ideas of my own, so I used a copy. And you name them, I

:22:49.:22:54.

have copied them. It is a bit like alchemy. You pick up things from

:22:55.:23:05.

Manet and you put them in a pot and you stir it and what comes out is

:23:06.:23:15.

me. Jack Vettriano! You said it! And I then had to find a style that was

:23:16.:23:23.

recognisably mine. They are so recognisably yours now, that is the

:23:24.:23:27.

amazing thing. Especially The Singing Butler. I had it on my wall

:23:28.:23:33.

at university. I would have signed it for you! It would have been worth

:23:34.:23:38.

so much, I would not have to be here! You would have put it straight

:23:39.:23:48.

on eBay! No. Yes! No. It is the most popular print in the world? They

:23:49.:23:55.

tell me that. Why? My view is quite simplistic. It is just a fantasy. If

:23:56.:24:07.

you are living in Grimsby and it is a cold and wet Tuesday afternoon and

:24:08.:24:11.

that is on your wall, you might be carried away with it. You might

:24:12.:24:19.

think, oh, dear. But I have several film scripts sent to me about The

:24:20.:24:26.

Singing Butler and two were quite reasonable. The third one, the

:24:27.:24:32.

Butler is a sex maniac. Let loose. We cannot discuss that! We can talk

:24:33.:24:38.

about your wonderful piece of work which is now on a wall in Glasgow.

:24:39.:24:44.

We will see if our Connolly camera has made it to the third mural, your

:24:45.:24:50.

mural. We will go live to a beer garden and Dixon Street. A beer

:24:51.:24:56.

garden? That is appropriate! It is incredible, the story. The location

:24:57.:25:03.

is suited to the water background of Jack's painting as it faces the

:25:04.:25:09.

River Clyde. The owner of the building the Hootenaney Pub was so

:25:10.:25:12.

keen to have the painting that he bought the adjacent plot of land and

:25:13.:25:15.

he has turned it into a beer garden and the locals call it Billy's beer

:25:16.:25:22.

garden. I just hope they give me free life membership! I think it is

:25:23.:25:28.

a definite, you are in. Lovely to meet you. You as well, thank you

:25:29.:25:32.

very much. APPLAUSE.

:25:33.:25:34.

If you want to see more of Jack's encounter with the Big Yin,

:25:35.:25:38.

you can watch Billy Connolly: Portrait of a Lifetime

:25:39.:25:42.

tonight at 9:00pm on BBC Scotland and on the iPlayer.

:25:43.:25:45.

Soon, Sunetra and Adil will be telling us about all the aggro

:25:46.:25:51.

kicking off at Ackley Bridge, the Yorkshire school at the centre

:25:52.:25:54.

But no matter how exciting it gets, it might be hard to match the drama

:25:55.:25:58.

that took place at a school in Stepney, in London, 46 years ago.

:25:59.:26:01.

Here's punk poet John Cooper Clarke with a story of striking

:26:02.:26:04.

In 1971, 900 secondary school pupils flooded out of the school in

:26:05.:26:13.

Stepney. It was not home time when they walked out, they were on

:26:14.:26:18.

strike. The schoolkids strike made national news but I want to know

:26:19.:26:22.

what made them swap pencils for the picket line. 46 years later, former

:26:23.:26:29.

pupil Sharon, Ramona and Tim have returned to the school to tell me

:26:30.:26:32.

more. I loved the school, every minute of it, I loved being here.

:26:33.:26:38.

We'll could not wait to go to English. What was your teacher like?

:26:39.:26:46.

Unbelievable. The school's radical 27-year-old English teacher Chris

:26:47.:26:49.

Searle believed in the power of teaching poetry to children. Even

:26:50.:26:53.

though a lot of people see feelings is rather indulging, I think every

:26:54.:27:01.

child wants to be noticed. Poetry gives them the chance. I live in old

:27:02.:27:08.

flats with a fire escape. Brick Lane is a horrible place. I am in some

:27:09.:27:12.

otherworldly thinking of things not real. These poems by his students

:27:13.:27:16.

were part of an anthology crisp published in 1971 without the

:27:17.:27:20.

permission of the school. He was sacked as a result but his pupils

:27:21.:27:23.

were having none of this. Today, The One Show is bringing Chris back to

:27:24.:27:29.

school for the first time in over 40 years. Lovely to see you! What were

:27:30.:27:36.

your poetry lessons like? We used to go for a lot of walks and I asked

:27:37.:27:40.

them to imagine what was going on in the heads of the people. Timmy wrote

:27:41.:27:47.

this very short poem. I go to the park to look at the view.

:27:48.:27:53.

I see lots of people, maybe they are lonely, too.

:27:54.:27:58.

I get on a bus, there is such a lot of force.

:27:59.:28:02.

But I bet there is lonely people amongst all of us.

:28:03.:28:07.

Sitting outside in a Church ground next to their school, the kids

:28:08.:28:12.

reduced a bounty of words and Chris was convinced they should be

:28:13.:28:16.

published, but the school governors disagreed. Any idea why? It was

:28:17.:28:21.

poetry with a critical edge. That it was also poetry in the language and

:28:22.:28:28.

the imagery of the young people themselves. And I think in a way,

:28:29.:28:33.

that was a threat to these governors. Chris did publish them

:28:34.:28:39.

and was told not to come back next term. Word quickly reached the kids.

:28:40.:28:45.

One of the older girls came round with a flyer saying, we on strike

:28:46.:28:49.

tomorrow and it is organised by the time we left at three o'clock. When

:28:50.:28:53.

you showed up for work that morning, what did you think when you saw this

:28:54.:28:58.

happening? Well, it was one of the moments that changed my life,

:28:59.:29:03.

really, I could hear them singing, roll out the barrels!

:29:04.:29:08.

# Oh, are sailing... Give Chris a chance. The strike lasted a couple

:29:09.:29:16.

of days but national media coverage but unilateral calls for Chris to be

:29:17.:29:19.

reinstated and after an eight-month fight, he finally was. Poetry is

:29:20.:29:26.

still a thriving discipline at Sir John Cass Foundation Redcoat

:29:27.:29:28.

School and I have invited 14-year-old poets along with their

:29:29.:29:32.

teacher Amy Huygens to create a new polling -- a new poem about Stepney

:29:33.:29:37.

with everybody contributing two lines. The kids study a diverse

:29:38.:29:42.

range of poetry and spoken word artists like yourself. Who would

:29:43.:29:50.

that be? There ain't nobody like me! So how do our Stepney Words sound?

:29:51.:29:57.

Back in Stepney after 46 years. Came back home all alone, parents

:29:58.:30:02.

gone. Being home carries me through the

:30:03.:30:04.

night. I is that tell different stories see

:30:05.:30:10.

the same sunrises. A rich jewels sparkling in

:30:11.:30:14.

excellence. Children in Stepney, your lives blow with the River

:30:15.:30:20.

Thames, the future in your flames. You got a result, it is a new way of

:30:21.:30:25.

writing poetry. Everybody got really involved, enthusiastically. As a

:30:26.:30:30.

community, the morals have stayed the same over time. You have got a

:30:31.:30:32.

good poem out of it. The full version of that poem is on

:30:33.:30:40.

our website. That brings us to Ackley Bridge. The second episode on

:30:41.:30:46.

tonight. Sunetra give us an idea of the premise if anybody missed the

:30:47.:30:52.

first episode. Previously on. It's a drama about two schools, an Asian

:30:53.:30:57.

and predominantly white school coming together, merging as one. It

:30:58.:31:00.

was the first day of school last week. Two girls live next door to

:31:01.:31:06.

each other, Asian and white, they have been best friends since they

:31:07.:31:10.

were little, they now go to school and it causes differences in how

:31:11.:31:14.

their friendship works. It's between the two girls and how they have been

:31:15.:31:18.

mixings and the cultures. The teachers and the sponsor of the

:31:19.:31:23.

school funding it. Dinner lady. A lot of good intentions. Community

:31:24.:31:28.

coming together. The connections between community, the clashes the

:31:29.:31:33.

misunderstandings sometimes. I think it's really contemporary and

:31:34.:31:37.

something new we haven't seen on TV. It's a new topic. It's complietly

:31:38.:31:42.

new it's your first serious acting role, isn't it? First time I've done

:31:43.:31:48.

anything without the beard, hat and accent. It's very different. Doing a

:31:49.:31:53.

sitcom, the first time I did any acting, you can play it big in front

:31:54.:32:01.

of a studio audience. Working with Sunetra and Jo and Liz was great for

:32:02.:32:05.

me. Doing this kind of thing is not acting. It's been a challenge for

:32:06.:32:10.

me. I really enjoyed it. How was your approach different then? When

:32:11.:32:14.

you are acting in comedy you are playing it for laughs but being

:32:15.:32:19.

serious in that role as well to make sure it's riepth. How does it

:32:20.:32:25.

compare? When I play Citizen Khan once the costume goes on you are a

:32:26.:32:29.

big character. It's a totally different character. With this you

:32:30.:32:33.

are finding bits of yourself in it as well. Trying to connect with the

:32:34.:32:39.

character you are playing. This character was the sponsor of the

:32:40.:32:43.

Academy. The local boy who has done well and has put most of his money

:32:44.:32:48.

into the Academy. Trying to be an honourable father and businessman in

:32:49.:32:50.

town, he's not. We will find out in tonight's

:32:51.:32:53.

episode. On Channel 4 at 8.00pm. Nicely done.

:32:54.:32:59.

I did that very well. He is not as honourable as we are led to believe.

:33:00.:33:06.

Has a little moment with Jo Joiner's character, Mandy, the head teacher

:33:07.:33:09.

at school. Let's look at your character in action. Here you are. I

:33:10.:33:13.

thought we talked about this. About her. She's my best mate. I aallowed

:33:14.:33:19.

to hang around with who I want. You represent us. We should be sticking

:33:20.:33:24.

together. Because we look a like and believe in the same thing I have to

:33:25.:33:27.

think like you as Are you taking well. It off now? Clearly, I wasn't

:33:28.:33:33.

wearing it for the right reasons. You are embarrassing yourself. Have

:33:34.:33:36.

you not listened to what I said. Don't tell other people how to live

:33:37.:33:40.

their lives isn't that what half the country think we do anyway?

:33:41.:33:45.

APPLAUS You eluded to the cast earlier.

:33:46.:33:49.

There is a lot of real people, if you like, in this Sunetra as well.

:33:50.:33:54.

Is it right producers scoured the street to bolster the cast in We

:33:55.:33:58.

were authentic trying to get the real deal for the schools to be

:33:59.:34:02.

naturalistic with each other. To bring a flavour of the Yorkshire

:34:03.:34:05.

background we wanted the show to look like and sound like. Because

:34:06.:34:11.

they were new to television, they also weren't inhibited, sorry -

:34:12.:34:15.

that's the word. They weren't as nervous say as they might be had

:34:16.:34:20.

they been on television before. When you can get nervous and say wrong

:34:21.:34:23.

things like I have just done then. They were good not knowing what the

:34:24.:34:31.

end product would be like. They were natural, keen and enthusiastic. The

:34:32.:34:35.

director walked around the streets of Bradford looking for young

:34:36.:34:39.

actors. One girl was on the phone to her parent complaining how she had

:34:40.:34:44.

been suspended from school. Penny over heard her on the score saying,

:34:45.:34:49.

it's good you have been suspended you're now going to be an October

:34:50.:34:53.

are. You must have found a pool of new talent doing it that way? Watch

:34:54.:34:58.

this space in ten years time they may be sitting on this sofa telling

:34:59.:35:03.

you how they started. For a whole crew to descend on you for three

:35:04.:35:07.

months as a community, it can feel discomforting. When you are part of

:35:08.:35:12.

it. If you include them. It's about inclusion. That is a good ethic

:35:13.:35:17.

about this show. Shot in a disused schooling. Nobody lost any

:35:18.:35:21.

schooling. They had their tuition on the side. Well, Ackley Bridge is on

:35:22.:35:29.

tonight at 8.00pm on Channel 4. Turn over, 8.00pm Channel 4.

:35:30.:35:33.

Tomorrow you'll be able to vote for the British invention you think

:35:34.:35:35.

is the greatest in a big live show from the Science Museum archives.

:35:36.:35:39.

For the last few days we've been hearing celebrities

:35:40.:35:41.

champion their favourites and tonight it's the turn

:35:42.:35:43.

of Angela Rippon and Nick Knowles to duel it out.

:35:44.:35:51.

This invention is a magic bullet. Bullet. It's made childbirth 35

:35:52.:36:04.

times safer. It saved 200 million lives. Without it, you would

:36:05.:36:24.

probably be dead. It's antibiotics. I'm advocating antibiotics because

:36:25.:36:28.

of the immense impact they've had on all of us. You, me, in my case, for

:36:29.:36:33.

instance, I developed tuberculosis when I was six. Now without

:36:34.:36:38.

antibiotics, I probably won't be here now. My invention is an unsung

:36:39.:36:51.

hero. Ubiquitous but overlooked. Unloved, but steadfast in its

:36:52.:36:55.

service to us all. Many would argue that man's best friend is the dog. I

:36:56.:36:58.

would argue that humanitarian's best friend is all around us. It's

:36:59.:37:02.

strong, it's dependable and always there to support us. Welcome to the

:37:03.:37:10.

wonderful world of concrete. Concrete is the building block of

:37:11.:37:15.

our civilisation. This stuff builds our schools and our hospitals and

:37:16.:37:20.

all of our major infrastructure. Am tunnel else and railways, bridges

:37:21.:37:25.

and flood defences, docks and airports, power stations even

:37:26.:37:29.

sewers. Some 70% of the world live in concrete homes. Most of the rest

:37:30.:37:35.

of us have concrete foundations. The result is the most used man made

:37:36.:37:44.

material on earth. Tommy is here. Back by popular demand. Yes.

:37:45.:37:47.

Yesterday we called you Technical Tommy. We are still calling you

:37:48.:37:53.

Technical Tommy. My new name. We have a prey for you. Look at this.

:37:54.:37:58.

That is me, Technical Tommy. The question is - who

:37:59.:38:03.

invented the T-shirt? We haven't got time to get into that. It wasn't

:38:04.:38:06.

British. That's a separate show. Antibiotics? Dr Alexandra Fleming

:38:07.:38:13.

discovered antibiotics. Fay lousily by accident in 1928 in a hospital

:38:14.:38:17.

not far from where we are now. It was developed by two other British

:38:18.:38:23.

people. Howard Flory and Ernst chain. A British invention. Recently

:38:24.:38:29.

this year, in February, they auctioned the petri dish that the

:38:30.:38:37.

original blob of mould was when they first discovered penicillin. It went

:38:38.:38:44.

for ?25,000. It's connected to British life and people are proud of

:38:45.:38:48.

it. The jury is out on concrete, go on? It caused controversy. Concrete

:38:49.:38:53.

is down as part of the show as one of Britain's greatest inventions. We

:38:54.:38:57.

had complaints after Monday's show. I have to do a shout out to Geoff,

:38:58.:39:02.

Linda, Paul, Cliff and Peter who wrote in to say, hang on, concrete

:39:03.:39:07.

is not British. It's Roman. It is. It comes from the Latin word

:39:08.:39:11.

Concetus, which means to grow together. Concrete will feature as

:39:12.:39:17.

part of the show tomorrow it's not a British invention. Cement developed

:39:18.:39:26.

from it is a British I inventioned. Discovered by John Smeaton and

:39:27.:39:35.

developed by Joseph Aspin who is credited for reintroducing concrete

:39:36.:39:42.

to the mainstream in 18 74. What is your favourite invention? The piano.

:39:43.:39:45.

What would life be without a piano auto. Nothing. Any facts? It was

:39:46.:40:03.

invented Byam-Cook an Italian maker. The largest piano is eight foot

:40:04.:40:08.

wide, 156 keys as opposed to the usual 88. A big piano. Big hands you

:40:09.:40:14.

needed to play that. Thank you. Favourite inventions you two? For me

:40:15.:40:21.

it's the egg timer. I've got this egg... Forget the wheel, OK. The egg

:40:22.:40:26.

timer. It goes into the boiling water and it will hum at you when

:40:27.:40:34.

the egg is soft. My egg... It will hum. Killing Me Softly when it's

:40:35.:40:43.

soft and a Hard Day's Night when it's hard. We have run out of time.

:40:44.:41:00.

You can vote for your favourite 8. 30pm.

:41:01.:41:06.

That's all we have time for tonight but we're back tomorrow at 7.00pm

:41:07.:41:09.

A big thank you to Adil Ray and Sunetra Sarker.

:41:10.:41:13.

Ackley Bridge is on tonight, Channel 4 at 8.00pm.
