:00:22. > :00:27.with Matt Baker and Alex Jones. Tonight's guest is an artist whose
:00:27. > :00:33.work is so sought after that one of his paintings, here it is, sold for
:00:33. > :00:36.$1 million. It did! He is also in a band that you might have heard of,
:00:36. > :00:45.they are called the Rolling Stones. That is not why he is here to talk
:00:46. > :00:54.about tonight? No. Please welcome, Mr Ronnie Wood. YES! Great to have
:00:54. > :00:58.you. We are delighted you have come on to adjudicate our One Show
:00:58. > :01:03.competition. It was a BBC art competition that kick-started your
:01:03. > :01:10.confidence really as a painter, wasn't it? That is right. Back in
:01:10. > :01:17.the da day the only thing we had on the telly art wise was Adrian Hill.
:01:17. > :01:22.This is one of my entrants for his weekly television show. I actually
:01:22. > :01:28.won the competition one week and then he had an exhibition up in High
:01:28. > :01:35.Wycombe. I was asked to attend. My mum came along. It was like a big
:01:35. > :01:42.deal. My friends used to say, "I saw your painting on the telly?" Were
:01:42. > :01:47.you more into art or music then? was into both equally. Because there
:01:47. > :01:54.was this bloke called Bert Weedoon as well - We have a film about him
:01:54. > :02:03.later. He unfortunately died last year. We had Bert Weedoon's Easy Way
:02:03. > :02:08.to Play Guitar, that I didn't pay notice of and Adrian Hill - How To
:02:08. > :02:18.Paint. Which I did take notice of. It Let us look at some of your
:02:18. > :02:18.
:02:18. > :02:28.paintings. Here we go. That is not the Beggar's Banquet. Let us move
:02:28. > :02:31.
:02:31. > :02:36.on. That is an etching. That is a detail from - The Ivy.Then the
:02:36. > :02:43.Beggar's Banquet. Were you surprised when it got to $1 million. I had a
:02:43. > :02:47.dedicated doctor in Florida who has 60 of my originals. His wife said,
:02:47. > :02:53."please don't let him buy any more of your paintings there is no room
:02:53. > :03:00.in the house." They have built an extension now. Phil is with our four
:03:00. > :03:04.finalists of the One Show Art Competition. Give us an idea of how
:03:04. > :03:09.this competition worked? We started in June. We had 700 entries which
:03:09. > :03:19.the judges had to bring down to a shortlist of 24. Which can be seen
:03:19. > :03:22.at the Open Centre Media Centre Salford Quays. We brought it down to
:03:22. > :03:29.four finalists. They had a new challenge with the theme of summer
:03:29. > :03:35.in Britain. Ronnie has to choose the winner. No pressure! Indeed an
:03:35. > :03:39.honour. You haven't got long to choose your winner. Before all of
:03:39. > :03:43.that, Lucy Seigle has been in Kirby to find out whether 18,000 people
:03:43. > :03:47.have a case for compensation in what could be the biggest class action
:03:47. > :03:57.that this country has ever seen. Imagine living next door to this.
:03:57. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:03.This is the wood chip factory in Kirby ablaze in June in 2011.
:04:03. > :04:06.Firefighters got the blaze under control, for thousands of residents
:04:07. > :04:11.who live nearby they say this is when their problems began. It's
:04:11. > :04:15.understood up to 18,000 residents here in Kirby are claiming the
:04:15. > :04:19.fallout from the fire has left them with long-term damage to their
:04:19. > :04:25.health. Now, they are clubbing together to bring what could be one
:04:25. > :04:31.of Britain's largest ever legal cases. One of those making a claim
:04:31. > :04:37.is retired school teacher Antony Richards. He lives just 700 meters
:04:37. > :04:40.from the factory in the Northwood area of Kirby. When it started to
:04:40. > :04:49.get bad, it was impossible to get dressed because I didn't have the
:04:49. > :04:53.energy. I was getting breathless. That is what I got scared about.
:04:53. > :04:57.Although Antony struggled with asthma in the past, he lived an
:04:57. > :05:03.active lifestyle. Since the fire he says it is significantly worse,
:05:03. > :05:09.visiting hospital twice a week. How confident are you, Antony, that your
:05:09. > :05:13.health problems are linked to the plant? So find yourself going from
:05:13. > :05:18.one condition, prior to the fire, and feeling great, I think it's more
:05:18. > :05:24.than a coincidence. And the other residents allege that during the
:05:24. > :05:28.fire plumes of harmful smoke were discharged into the air directly
:05:28. > :05:33.over their homes nearby. Some claims are for cancer, others for skin
:05:33. > :05:36.rashes, eye problems and breathing difficulties. It felt like the air
:05:37. > :05:41.was thick. When you took a breath you could taste different things in
:05:41. > :05:47.your breath. The fire was uncomfortable. Few weeks after the
:05:47. > :05:51.fire Paul went to hospital with a collapsed lung. Medically this can
:05:51. > :05:56.occur at any time. Paul is convinced the fumes from the fire were behind
:05:56. > :06:01.it. What point did you link the collapsed lung and the symptoms to
:06:01. > :06:06.the fire? I had never had problems with my lungs ever. If you win
:06:06. > :06:11.compensation, out of this lawsuit, people might say sinically you are
:06:11. > :06:14.jumping on the bandwagon, what would you say to that? I'm not jumping on
:06:14. > :06:18.to no bandwagon. I want my life back to normal. I want to run, play
:06:18. > :06:22.football and go out with my kids, not have the fear of my lung popping
:06:22. > :06:26.every minute. None of the official bodies who you think would know
:06:26. > :06:32.could tell us if there had been an increase of health complaints
:06:32. > :06:37.following the fire in 2011. The council say they have not had an
:06:37. > :06:41.increase of breathing problems in the area. The representing the
:06:41. > :06:47.18,000 residents is this solicitor. He is convinced he could establish
:06:47. > :06:51.the fire was responsible for causing or exacerbating his clients' health
:06:51. > :06:54.problems. How do you know whose cases are credible, whose are likely
:06:54. > :06:58.and who is really affected by the fact they hated this place and
:06:58. > :07:03.everyone is talking about it? Clearly, you are eluding to the
:07:03. > :07:08.compensation culture. We have gone to great lengths to ensure that we
:07:08. > :07:13.have verified the bona fide of our cohort of claimants. With due
:07:13. > :07:16.respect, you stand to gain from it? It's not about what gain there is
:07:16. > :07:23.for us or any other solicitors involved, it's about giving these
:07:23. > :07:28.people access to justice and making sure they get the compensation
:07:28. > :07:32.commensurate with the symptoms they experienced. Since it opened the
:07:32. > :07:35.Sonae factory has had a chequered history. It has been find and
:07:35. > :07:41.prosecuted by the Health and Safety Executive and the Environment
:07:41. > :07:47.Agency. Sonae declined to be interviewed or comment. They have
:07:48. > :07:51.denied any connection between the factory and ill health. Antony says
:07:51. > :07:55.he is not doing it for money, he wants recognition that the fire was
:07:55. > :08:00.behind his health problems and he wants to convince the court to find
:08:00. > :08:04.in his favour. I'm not saying for one moment I wouldn't accept
:08:04. > :08:09.compensation for a deterioration in my health. I would like the people
:08:09. > :08:13.responsible to be taken to task, you know, people need to be held
:08:13. > :08:19.responsible. Take ownership of the problem. Justice issue?Justice more
:08:19. > :08:24.than anything. If there is no compensation, so be it. Give us an
:08:24. > :08:26.update then, what is the latest on this case? The company in question
:08:26. > :08:30.have admitted liability but not causation. They won't accept that
:08:30. > :08:33.anything that happened at the factory affected anybody in the
:08:33. > :08:37.surrounding area. So all the lawyers have asked for claimants to come
:08:37. > :08:40.forward. They need to submit their claim by the end of November, sounds
:08:40. > :08:44.like a long way off, that includes their medical records. It takes a
:08:44. > :08:49.bit of time. Experts say we could look at a trial June to September
:08:49. > :08:53.next year. This time next year could be a trial. We heard the statement
:08:53. > :08:56.in the film this isn't a compensation culture gone mad. There
:08:56. > :09:01.are a lot of people out there claiming at the moment, aren't
:09:01. > :09:04.there? There are an awful lot. That is an interesting one, isn't it, the
:09:04. > :09:07.phrase "compensation culture" I looked at a report last months
:09:07. > :09:12.talking about compensation for injury in the workplace. That has
:09:12. > :09:16.gone by 60% over the last 10 years. We tend to think every time we hear
:09:16. > :09:20.of one of these cases, we are letting the genie out of the bottle,
:09:20. > :09:24.are we? We have a different set up here to America. The legal system is
:09:24. > :09:28.to different that it makes it quite hard to launch these compensation
:09:28. > :09:32.suits and these class actions. The reason there are so many here, you
:09:32. > :09:37.could argue, is because the way our laws configured, I won't go into, we
:09:37. > :09:41.haven't all night, it means you have to individually become a claimant.
:09:41. > :09:45.You have to come forward. You can't come forward and say - I live in
:09:45. > :09:49.that general area. No, class actions aren't that common in the UK, are
:09:49. > :09:53.they? No. I was thinking about it before. I can count on one hand the
:09:53. > :09:57.number I can recall. One of which we did in 2008 on the show that was
:09:57. > :10:01.about people taking nearly 5,000 people took furniture retailers to
:10:01. > :10:05.court in a class action. They are quite rare. I think they were
:10:05. > :10:09.popular in immediate evil times. Since then our gisties system is
:10:09. > :10:14.about the individual. America is much more about class actions and
:10:14. > :10:23.group litigations. Thank you, Lucy. Intl when you think of the world's
:10:23. > :10:26.greatest guitarists you think of Ronnie, Jimi, Keith, Eric, Slash
:10:26. > :10:32.Carrie found out there might not have been any of those who wasn't
:10:32. > :10:37.first for a Bert. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I want to
:10:37. > :10:41.begin my show by playing for you a tune that is over 1,000 years old.
:10:41. > :10:44.There is nothing like being up-to-date, is there? He might not
:10:44. > :10:49.look or even sound like a rock-and-roll legend, you may not
:10:49. > :10:57.even know his name, but Bert Weedoon was the man who taught Britain how
:10:57. > :11:02.to play guitar. Boy, did we learn to rock. Guitar went from being
:11:02. > :11:07.something very much in the background in the dance band era,
:11:07. > :11:16.somebody would be chomping away like that. Probably inoddibly, you know,
:11:16. > :11:20.in rock-and-roll. It was turned on its head, guitar was at the front.
:11:20. > :11:25.You know, wow this is really exciting. Bert realised that the
:11:25. > :11:28.time was on the cusp of the old going into the new. He had the
:11:29. > :11:38.vision to be able to get into the new and get you into the new as
:11:38. > :11:44.well. In 1959 Bert became the first British solo guitarist to hit the
:11:44. > :11:54.singles chart with Guitar Boogie Shuffle. Joe Brown is known in the
:11:54. > :11:59.business as the musicians musician. He was a close friend of Bert's.
:12:00. > :12:09.was an invole vative musician. You won't find a guitar player who
:12:10. > :12:12.
:12:12. > :12:18.hasn't a good word to say about him. He influenced everybody. His most
:12:18. > :12:26.endure enduring thing to guitar music was this. It didn't treat you
:12:26. > :12:32.like an idiot. Before then, you - the archetypal thing you went to a
:12:32. > :12:36.piano teacher she was 90 years old, she was fearsome. You made a mistake
:12:36. > :12:42.and she slapped you with a ruler. Bert said, you can do rock-and-roll
:12:42. > :12:48.and it is really fun. He levelled the field. Brought the guitar
:12:48. > :12:55.forward and knead available for everybody. A bit like how Pavarotti
:12:55. > :13:00.made opera famous to the masses. It was Pavarotti. Sadly, Bert died last
:13:00. > :13:06.year aged 916789 his manual is still in print. The question is, 50 years
:13:06. > :13:11.on, can it continue to inspire a new generation of British musicians? --
:13:11. > :13:18.91. We have challenged 17-year-old singer-songwriter Flo to learn to
:13:18. > :13:22.play in a day, the Weedon way. Do you play instruments at the moment?
:13:22. > :13:25.A bit of piano, not really classically with a teacher or
:13:25. > :13:30.anything. What difference would it make to you if you were able to play
:13:30. > :13:35.guitar? So much difference. I have all these lyrics, but I need
:13:35. > :13:40.something that is going to help me create a melody. And, it saves me
:13:40. > :13:44.having to find someone who plays the guitar. It would save me explaining
:13:44. > :13:52.to them, this is how I kind of want. It they never really get the vibe
:13:52. > :13:56.I'm going for. Bert believed in hard work and learning to sight read
:13:56. > :14:04.music. He also understood that the new generation was in a hurry. He
:14:04. > :14:10.showed them a few basic chords to get them rocking. They learnt their
:14:10. > :14:16.A chord out of playing the day. And the chord of D. If you are a
:14:16. > :14:25.songwriter you can write song with those two chords. What they got from
:14:25. > :14:35.Bert's book was an intro into doing what they ended up doing better than
:14:35. > :15:01.
:15:02. > :15:08.anybody did since. Let us see how but she has managed to play it in a
:15:08. > :15:11.single afternoon. So perhaps there is something to be said for a little
:15:11. > :15:21.bit of technique in doing it the Bert Weedon way.
:15:21. > :15:28.Thank you, carry. You were saying, Ronnie, her fingers will be sore. I
:15:28. > :15:37.had a look at it this afternoon, so let's have a little go now. I have
:15:37. > :15:47.never played a guitar before. Here we go. This is apparently...
:15:47. > :16:24.
:16:24. > :16:30.Alex. I will unplug you. Loads of people go online to learn guitar,
:16:30. > :16:38.and I have done that myself. But you have got this whole new channel on
:16:38. > :16:46.YouTube. Yes, it is in infancy at the moment, but it is going to be
:16:46. > :16:53.interesting. There is old Faces footage. And you have art stuff on
:16:53. > :16:58.there as well? Loads of people won't know you as an artist. They don't.
:16:58. > :17:04.All around the world, people say, I didn't know you painted. It is a
:17:04. > :17:13.great thing to have up my sleeve. have some footage here of your
:17:13. > :17:18.exhibition, how on earth to you decide what to hang? This was a
:17:18. > :17:26.tribute to the Stones. There was a heavy emphasis on the boys as
:17:26. > :17:29.subject matter. I thought I would really get into it, get my teeth
:17:29. > :17:35.into many different ways of presenting the band, and there is
:17:35. > :17:40.one painting their that we show with money, and I used real money as a
:17:40. > :17:48.backdrop, a little tongue in cheek to the ticket prices. Have the other
:17:48. > :17:55.members got pieces of your art in their houses? Yes, I have forced the
:17:55. > :18:00.pieces on them. Did they pay you for them?
:18:00. > :18:04.Is this about relaxing for you? What frame of mind are you in when you
:18:04. > :18:10.are doing it? It is a great thing that I can do on my own, and there
:18:10. > :18:16.is only me to blame. When you are doing a group effort in the music,
:18:16. > :18:21.that is give and take, which is lovely, but with the art, it is
:18:22. > :18:25.almost a meditation. Because the feel of the music that you have
:18:25. > :18:33.their is very difficult to that of -- different to that of your
:18:33. > :18:43.landscapes. That is true. I have a place in Ireland, my Irish studio.
:18:43. > :18:50.And many views from hotel windows on tour. Various Prague. Pegasus, my
:18:50. > :18:57.big horse, which is in Britain Street. I love animals, I love
:18:57. > :19:05.drawing horses and people. All kinds of subject matter, all kinds of
:19:05. > :19:10.materials. And what is your process when you go to paint? Have you got
:19:10. > :19:16.more than one painting on the go at a time? Sometimes I have had ten
:19:16. > :19:22.paintings on the go. You keep the flow going. And how does it fit in
:19:22. > :19:30.with your music? Do you see yourself more as a musician? Have you got any
:19:30. > :19:36.more gigs coming up? I often paint to music, and I often played to a
:19:36. > :19:43.painting. Whatever comes up. I have been asked to do a blues Festival in
:19:43. > :19:48.October, which is something I may get behind. There are lots of
:19:48. > :19:53.exhibitions and lots of musical offers on the counter. But I have
:19:53. > :20:00.got my new YouTube channel starting today, and you can always get me at
:20:00. > :20:07.Ronnie Wood on the twitter. And if you would like to see any of Ronnie
:20:07. > :20:10.Wood's exhibition in the flesh, you can. Ronnie's exhibition Raw
:20:10. > :20:13.Instinct is currently on at the Bruton Street galleries.
:20:13. > :20:16.Here in our studio we're having our own exhibition with the four
:20:16. > :20:20.finalists in the One Show Summer Art Competition. Before Ronnie picks his
:20:20. > :20:23.winner, here's Phil with the story of how they created their final
:20:23. > :20:28.submissions. In June, we launched the One Show on
:20:28. > :20:34.art competition 2013 for amateur artist. The theme was where I live,
:20:34. > :20:38.and your response was amazing. Last week, we came one step closer to
:20:38. > :20:43.finding our winner when the judges selected four finalists to go
:20:43. > :20:47.through to the final round. They have now been set another challenge
:20:47. > :20:52.to create a new drawing or painting on the theme of the dish summertime.
:20:52. > :21:00.It is this work that will ultimately decide our winner, rather than their
:21:00. > :21:10.original entries. Our first finalist is Lucy Howard. The judges loved
:21:10. > :21:12.
:21:13. > :21:17.humour in my paintings. I like to make people smile and see them
:21:17. > :21:23.enjoying looking at my pictures. When I had the theme for Britain in
:21:23. > :21:28.summertime, sat in the garden one night, it came to me, the idea being
:21:29. > :21:34.outside in the garden, eating a cream tea. I have still got over
:21:34. > :21:39.half of the painting to finish. Some of the plants in the background of
:21:39. > :21:46.the picture have been really hard to do, and the picket fence has been
:21:46. > :21:54.quite difficult as well. Our next finalist is Brian Kamau with a
:21:54. > :22:00.portrait of his brother, Alexander. This was technically strong, and the
:22:00. > :22:05.character shines through. Ever since I was a kid, I could draw. I was
:22:05. > :22:09.obsessed with drawing cartoons. No one could ever believe how accurate
:22:09. > :22:16.my drawings were. I wanted to make them the best I could, like
:22:16. > :22:21.photorealism. I want to capture every single poor, every wrinkle.
:22:21. > :22:27.British summer Time has a lot to do with people's moods. I have tried to
:22:27. > :22:33.catch the happy mood that summer brings to everyone. Doing a piece in
:22:33. > :22:41.one week is a lot of work. I am such a perfectionist. I think I will be
:22:41. > :22:49.ready. Kerrigan Rennigade's portrait of Pappy is the next one to get
:22:49. > :22:55.through. The judges loved it because it is loose and expressive. One of
:22:55. > :23:01.the judges said that you could tell that you love someone very much by
:23:01. > :23:05.looking at the portrait, and that is what I was hoping to do. When we got
:23:05. > :23:10.the brief for Great Britain summer, the thinking cap was on
:23:10. > :23:17.straightaway. My back garden was straight out onto the woods when I
:23:17. > :23:26.was a little girl. I would put my wellingtons on and jump the back
:23:26. > :23:32.fence. These days, a lot of kids don't go out and play any more, they
:23:32. > :23:38.don't get dirty and get in the mud. They stay in all the time and don't
:23:38. > :23:44.enjoy their summer the way I used to enjoy my summer. So I have decided
:23:44. > :23:48.to put something in that is close to my family. Hannah Farley is a
:23:48. > :23:53.textile student, and the judges liked afternoon sale because of its
:23:53. > :24:00.delicacy, stitched on handmade paper. It is a different take on
:24:00. > :24:04.drawing. I do a continuous line drawing most of the time, you can't
:24:04. > :24:08.really stop a sewing machine and start again. So it has acted the
:24:08. > :24:16.same for me as drawing with a pen. It is just more control with how
:24:16. > :24:22.fast you are going. My new project is definitely influenced by a little
:24:22. > :24:27.village up our road. I grew up there. This is somewhere where I
:24:27. > :24:32.played when I was younger. It made sense to have it there for a British
:24:32. > :24:35.summertime, as it is so close to home. I have done some sketches and
:24:35. > :24:41.made the paper. It is ready to start going on the actual peace now, which
:24:41. > :24:46.is exciting. There are people in this one, and I am not overconfident
:24:46. > :24:52.with drawing people, so that is probably the only worry, really.
:24:52. > :24:55.Oh, it is getting close to the moment! Just before the show began,
:24:55. > :25:01.you all reviewed them and had a really good look. What were you
:25:01. > :25:10.looking for? Ronnie was asked to judge on interpretation of the
:25:10. > :25:19.theme, wow factor and technical skill. He gets the final vote.
:25:19. > :25:24.Remind us where the winning image is going. At Salford Quays.
:25:24. > :25:34.We are now going to have a closer look at them. First we've got Lucy
:25:34. > :25:34.
:25:34. > :25:39.Howard from Taunton. The models are imaginary people, but I did get my
:25:39. > :25:45.husband and daughter to pose. really does convey British
:25:45. > :25:52.summertime. It has really caught the essence. It has a sense of humour
:25:52. > :26:02.and a very good application of technique. Are you a socks and
:26:02. > :26:13.
:26:13. > :26:18.sandals man? It is a very gentle Gloucester. You drew your brother
:26:18. > :26:26.last time. Who is this lovely lady? This is a girl I used to go to
:26:26. > :26:32.school with. Any history?No. which fairground is this behind us?
:26:32. > :26:37.Gloucester fair, which comes around during my birthday. The eyes are
:26:37. > :26:47.incredible. When I saw that from a distance, I thought it was a
:26:47. > :26:47.
:26:47. > :26:56.photograph. It is very technically well executed with the pencil, and
:26:56. > :27:01.yes, it is very well done. Well done, Brian. Next we've got Hannah
:27:01. > :27:09.Farley from Hindhead. This has all been done on a sewing machine. How'd
:27:09. > :27:13.you get the colours? It has watercolours behind it, so it is
:27:13. > :27:18.half watercolour painting and half sewing machine drawing. Have you
:27:18. > :27:23.ever seen anything like this before, Ronnie? I love this. It is handmade
:27:24. > :27:29.paper, isn't it? And a lot of the shading isn't watercolour, it is
:27:29. > :27:34.actual material and fibre. It is very well done. This is a real hot
:27:34. > :27:42.contender, and it shows a freedom and a feel of a real experienced
:27:42. > :27:48.artist. We are sensing a love for this one. Finally we've got Kerrigan
:27:48. > :27:53.Rennigade from North Lanarkshire. Last time we met you, you did a
:27:53. > :28:00.lovely painting of your grandfather. Has he seen this new painting?
:28:00. > :28:05.really likes it. And was this one more difficult? It was, because of
:28:05. > :28:14.the size, but I managed, so I am happy. What you reckon, Ronnie?
:28:14. > :28:17.it watercolour? I like it. Let's move back. A huge congratulations to
:28:17. > :28:21.all of our finalists for getting here, they've beaten 700 other
:28:21. > :28:30.entries to get here but it's not up to Phil, me or Alex who the winner
:28:30. > :28:38.is, it's up to Ronnie. The time has come. I will take the blame, and
:28:38. > :28:45.without any further messing about, I have to give it to Lucy.
:28:46. > :28:52.Lucy, how do you feel? Very chuffed. Thank you.
:28:52. > :28:56.Congratulations, well done. That's it for tonight. Thank you for our
:28:56. > :29:00.judges. And thank you to Ronnie for judging the competition. If you want
