:00:18. > :00:20.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING

:00:33. > :00:36.entertainment. APPLAUSE AND
:00:37. > :00:41.CHEERING Listen, because tonight's recipient
:00:42. > :00:48.has had a career spanning over six decades. He is a multi-Olivier and
:00:49. > :00:52.Tony award-winning star whose work encompasses film and television and
:00:53. > :00:57.theatre. Drum roll, please. The winner is... Michael Crawford!
:00:58. > :01:05.APPLAUSE AND CHEERING
:01:06. > :01:09.Michaelle, lovely to see you -- Michael, lovely to see you. Huge
:01:10. > :01:14.congratulations. Sit yourself down, Michael. Michael, we are chuffed to
:01:15. > :01:18.bits for you. We are. Here is the award in all its glory. You can see
:01:19. > :01:25.here we have engraved your name on the... Oh, hang on a minute. It says
:01:26. > :01:31.Dame Judi Dench here. Hang on. There you are. It's cheap, you can scratch
:01:32. > :01:36.it off to be honest. Thank you so much. The reason we have done that
:01:37. > :01:46.is because you are used to this. It's happened to you before. It did,
:01:47. > :01:54.thank you for bringing it up again. It was 20, 30, 50 years ago. I was
:01:55. > :02:03.up for Best Newcomer at the BAFTAs or whatever they were called then.
:02:04. > :02:10.James Mason, a very big star had, I think, been overserved. Of course,
:02:11. > :02:18.yes. He said, and, ladies and gentlemen, the winner is... Michael
:02:19. > :02:26.Crawford. Great. And I was so excited. Over the moon. Over the
:02:27. > :02:38.moon. Up I ran and got to him and he said, oh, no! No. There's been a
:02:39. > :02:44.mistake. Judi Dench. I said, well, did I come second? You know, there
:02:45. > :02:51.wasn't a big laugh on that. So I had to turn around and go all the way
:02:52. > :02:56.back and pass lovely Judi Dench on the way saying, so sorry. But we got
:02:57. > :03:00.actually more publicity because it was front page on the pages the next
:03:01. > :03:05.day. We did quite well. Sorry to bring that up. No, thank you so
:03:06. > :03:09.much. It's good to see it. Tonight we would love to hear from you, we
:03:10. > :03:13.are going to go on with it now. If you have won a prize for something
:03:14. > :03:17.that wasn't actually yours, I don't know, have you won a local bake
:03:18. > :03:24.competition with your mum's carrot cake? Or maybe your grandfather's
:03:25. > :03:30.runner beans with Best In Show? Send them in and we will show them later
:03:31. > :03:33.in the show. An exclusive news on a Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em sketch to
:03:34. > :03:38.be shown as part of Sport Relief this Friday. We are excited about
:03:39. > :03:44.this. First, let's go from theatrical to cinematic.
:03:45. > :03:51.A year ago, one team didn't dare to think the unthinkable. To rise from
:03:52. > :03:57.the Ashes, see the impossible dream. 12 months on they've achieved the
:03:58. > :04:03.stuff of legends. Their fans are already preparing to say... I was
:04:04. > :04:08.there! So we sent Alex Riley along too.
:04:09. > :04:13.I have come to Leicester to investigate some reports of strange
:04:14. > :04:21.rumblings. Are you aware of seismic activity?
:04:22. > :04:25.No. Have you felt the tremors? Only when I haven't taken the tablets.
:04:26. > :04:36.I think I did the other night. Did you? Yes. It's happened before. It's
:04:37. > :04:47.not the work of mother nature but excited Leicester City fans. It's
:04:48. > :04:55.been dubbed the Vardy-quake. Excitement over the Facts success is
:04:56. > :04:59.Galvinising the city. Is anxiety kicking in? For Mick this is unknown
:05:00. > :05:03.territory. Leicester have looked invincible. We don't look as if we
:05:04. > :05:06.are going to lose. That's the thing that scares me the most. I have an
:05:07. > :05:11.expectation of coming away with points and never used to have that.
:05:12. > :05:15.At what point did you start to get nervous? In the beginning it was
:05:16. > :05:19.fun. Now it feels like you could get the biggest prize in football.
:05:20. > :05:22.February I was nervous in February because I thought the bubble was
:05:23. > :05:26.going to burst and we are in March and still there, two points clear
:05:27. > :05:30.with a game in hand. I am nervous. Excitement nervous.
:05:31. > :05:34.A handful of fans have gone one step further by backing Leicester to win
:05:35. > :05:40.the league at the start of the season. Some had odds of 5,000-1. I
:05:41. > :05:45.saw the odds, I had spare money so I decided to put a couple of bets on.
:05:46. > :05:51.Cashed out on one of them. They gave you how much? ?1600. Why did you
:05:52. > :05:57.panic? I am a student. I needed the money. You cashed in, as well? At
:05:58. > :06:01.what point did you say enough is enough When the wife wanted a new
:06:02. > :06:04.kitchen. It's still going to be tight to the end of the season but
:06:05. > :06:11.after West Brom I checked to see what it would be if I was to cash in
:06:12. > :06:15.and they said ?16,000 on Wednesday Tottenham and Manchester City and
:06:16. > :06:19.Arsenal all lost. They said 29, I said OK. Are you going to go the
:06:20. > :06:23.full distance? I believe Leicester can do it. They have the squad and
:06:24. > :06:30.the spirit and there is a momentum there. So, I would love to keep the
:06:31. > :06:33.bet. It's a dream to win the league and potentially have 50,000 on it is
:06:34. > :06:39.possibly a bridge too far for a heart attack!
:06:40. > :06:45.Well, the match has already started and I am wondering if we are in for
:06:46. > :06:49.another Vardy-quake. Adam from the University of of Leicester is
:06:50. > :06:54.monitoring the situation. The goal that your equipment
:06:55. > :07:00.measured was a last-minute winner against Norwich. Was that the sound
:07:01. > :07:03.of pure joy that you picked up or was it the vibrations of relief? I
:07:04. > :07:06.think it was a mixture of both really. That crucial 89th minute
:07:07. > :07:11.deciding goal, that obviously is going to be something for fans to
:07:12. > :07:14.really celebrate. We think the goal tied in with our machinery at the
:07:15. > :07:19.university and we realised that it was actually a goal scored. I mean,
:07:20. > :07:25.an earthquake could be going off now. I can feel the ground moving!
:07:26. > :07:31.Yeah, there you go. I can't believe that we just had a goal scored while
:07:32. > :07:34.we are actually on here doing this! The way it's created by the fans,
:07:35. > :07:37.that's travelling through the ground as we are standing here and that's
:07:38. > :07:41.going to be picked up at our university on the machinery. Could
:07:42. > :07:44.it be bigger than the one before? Who knows, maybe the fans have given
:07:45. > :07:52.it all they've got and maybe. It was! Measuring 0. 5. Leicester
:07:53. > :07:58.City's incredible season rumbles on. Even I enjoyed that and I know
:07:59. > :08:01.nothing about football. Incredible support even from a Newcastle
:08:02. > :08:07.supporter's perspective. Five points clear, who knows what will happen?
:08:08. > :08:13.It's gone over my head! Let's talk about your new musical, Michael. You
:08:14. > :08:17.are coming back to the stage. It's called The The Go-Between. It's
:08:18. > :08:24.based on a book. What's the musical all about? It's a very complicated
:08:25. > :08:33.story. To simplify it, there was a movie made of it years ago which won
:08:34. > :08:37.the Cannes Film Festival with Julie Christie and Alan Bates. In the 70s.
:08:38. > :08:43.A beautiful production recently on television about a year ago. None of
:08:44. > :08:50.them have touched the way that the book was actually written about -
:08:51. > :08:54.it's nationalated by the man himself -- narrated by the man himself whose
:08:55. > :09:03.life it is about as a 12-year-old. It's 50 years back. On the stage we
:09:04. > :09:08.can have the two of them together. I watch the reenactment of what went
:09:09. > :09:13.on when he was 12. He goes to stay with a best friend who is an
:09:14. > :09:16.aristocrat and meets his sister, the most beautiful girl and when you are
:09:17. > :09:22.12 the most beautiful girl you never forget her. You have a crush. He has
:09:23. > :09:32.a crush on her and will do anything for her. And becomes involved in
:09:33. > :09:42.being a go-between her and the lover who is a farmer. You see what I
:09:43. > :09:45.mean. It's pretty nasty. ''S already engaged really to another man. He
:09:46. > :09:50.gets involved innocently. It's a beautiful story. It's the turning
:09:51. > :09:58.point of someone's life at 12. What happens at the end of this story
:09:59. > :10:04.never leaves him. It's disturbing in one's heart. It's truly a labour of
:10:05. > :10:08.love for me this because it's really hard and I like a challenge. Just
:10:09. > :10:14.basically the amount of time that you are on stage and the story you
:10:15. > :10:21.have to tell? Yes. It's mentally going to be, eight shows a week, so
:10:22. > :10:26.I am singing quite a lot through it. Really, I mean, that's an enormous
:10:27. > :10:33.amount. But much of the music is quite beautiful. Other is part of
:10:34. > :10:42.the dialogue. Working with the child takes me back to childhood when I
:10:43. > :10:47.was 12 when I started. I started at 12 and I had to audition for
:10:48. > :10:51.Benjamin Briton and for this musical I was keen on it and we couldn't get
:10:52. > :10:56.a theatre easily when I finally decided I worked on it for two years
:10:57. > :11:09.and finally when I said yes, let's go, we didn't have a theatre. So, I
:11:10. > :11:13.got my agent to call the owner of The The Apollo and I said... That's
:11:14. > :11:17.where you are putting it on. I said, would you listen to us in this
:11:18. > :11:23.Church hall? I virtually auditioned for her. With the composer playing
:11:24. > :11:29.the piano. I did the whole show for her. At the end of it we got it.
:11:30. > :11:34.Fantastic. APPLAUSE
:11:35. > :11:40.We got the Apollo. It's exciting. Previews start 27th May. And we open
:11:41. > :11:47.on June 7th proper. Lovely. Don't come before then! Because you are
:11:48. > :11:52.not ready. We have to talk to you about The Phantom of the Opera. I
:11:53. > :11:57.came to work today because they said they would play this clip. Let's
:11:58. > :12:04.enjoy it for a second. # Let the dream begin
:12:05. > :12:11.# Let your darkest side give in # To the power of the music that I
:12:12. > :12:18.write # The power of the music of the
:12:19. > :12:22.night APPLAUSE AND
:12:23. > :12:26.CHEERING Michael, I mean, you can see there
:12:27. > :12:32.the minute that music came on and you saw that clip your breathing
:12:33. > :12:41.changed. Everything about you was there. I mean, that changed my life.
:12:42. > :12:50.Absolutely changed my life. It's nearly 30 years now since we did it.
:12:51. > :12:58.It just truly seems like the other day that you did it. So, I... I
:12:59. > :13:04.couldn't be more in love with that character of creating that man. He
:13:05. > :13:08.meant so much to me. I mean, it is the 30th anniversary as you say.
:13:09. > :13:13.Have they been in contact and said would you, can you, could you? No.
:13:14. > :13:19.LAUGHTER Oh, we want to see that. Would you?
:13:20. > :13:26.If they're watching... They couldn't have been as impressed as we were!
:13:27. > :13:34.Oh, no. You would be fantastic to see. I sing it often when I am
:13:35. > :13:38.warming up because I had the most wonderful singing teacher who I lost
:13:39. > :13:43.a few years back, about five years ago. I still use his warm-up every
:13:44. > :13:48.day of my life. I still play it. He still argues with me on the tape
:13:49. > :13:52.every day. You play the... You must not do that, darling! I can't stand
:13:53. > :13:57.what you are doing now. I said all right, can I try? Sno No, I am going
:13:58. > :14:00.to turn this off. He turns the machine off because he loses
:14:01. > :14:04.patience. Isn't that a wonderful insight into your life. Really
:14:05. > :14:11.lovely. You will know all about the subject of our next film. Don Black.
:14:12. > :14:17.You made your West End musical debut together in the show Billy. Tonight
:14:18. > :14:24.he is talking about the story behind the Oscar-winning song Born Free.
:14:25. > :14:28.The open skies of the African savannah. A lion that longs to
:14:29. > :14:32.return home and, of course, that song.
:14:33. > :14:38.# Born free # As free as the wind blows.
:14:39. > :14:44.Born Free, a British film about a couple who raise and release a lion
:14:45. > :14:51.named Elsa became a hit in 1966. It was accompanied by a theme song
:14:52. > :14:55.as memorable as the film itself. But this iconic track very nearly
:14:56. > :15:00.didn't make the film at all because the lyrics were deemed it too
:15:01. > :15:05.political. Don Black was the song's co-writer.
:15:06. > :15:09.Today he is best known for iconic tracks like Diamonds are Forever,
:15:10. > :15:15.The Man with the Golden Gun and Thunderball. In the mid-60s his
:15:16. > :15:18.career was just beginning when John Barry approached him to work on a
:15:19. > :15:23.new film. At the time, he was living in this
:15:24. > :15:25.house in north London. The One Show has arranged for him to return for
:15:26. > :15:35.the first time in over 30 years. Where would you have written the
:15:36. > :15:44.song? In the kitchen, about here. John sent me the tune Onica set,
:15:45. > :15:49.which I played until it was in my head, and then I stared out of
:15:50. > :15:54.windows and had a walk in the park and I finally settled on born free,
:15:55. > :16:00.as free as the wind blows, it seemed to write itself, somehow. It was an
:16:01. > :16:10.outpouring. It was the biggest break of his career, Matt Ron -- Matt
:16:11. > :16:15.Munro was enlisted to sing the song, but then there was a spanner in the
:16:16. > :16:19.works. Everyone loved the song but the producer, Carl Foreman, he did
:16:20. > :16:22.not like it, and he thought the tune was too epic and he thought the
:16:23. > :16:30.lyric was too much of a social comment. He wanted it to be more
:16:31. > :16:35.about lions in cages. In a time of apartheid in South Africa and racial
:16:36. > :16:37.tension in America, Don Black's lyrics about universal freedom and
:16:38. > :16:43.breaking boundaries had struck a nerve. And at the film's
:16:44. > :16:47.star-studded premiere the songwriting team was in for a shock.
:16:48. > :16:54.We were thrilled and excited, the royal premiere, and it was a shock
:16:55. > :17:00.to be there that night and the song wasn't there. To everyone's surprise
:17:01. > :17:05.the track had been taken from the film, but luck was on their side.
:17:06. > :17:13.Shortly after, cover was released in America by Unison Roger Williams and
:17:14. > :17:16.was an instant hit. -- by pianist. Realising their mistake, they
:17:17. > :17:20.restored the original track and the following year it was awarded Best
:17:21. > :17:27.Song at the Oscars. Do you still have the award? I have got it on me,
:17:28. > :17:33.I keep with me all the time. Hello, Mr Oscar, that must have been quite
:17:34. > :17:36.a night. It was indeed. Ever since then I have been introduced as
:17:37. > :17:45.Oscar-winning lyricist, it stays with you. It is a lovely feeling.
:17:46. > :17:49.Thanks to its inclusion in the film, Born Free would become famous the
:17:50. > :17:52.world over, rallying cry for conservationists and civil rights
:17:53. > :18:01.campaigners alike, not bad for an afternoon at the kitchen table.
:18:02. > :18:12.# Live free... The ridge what makes the song so special? Why is it so
:18:13. > :18:22.well loved 50 years later Britain there is something a song can do
:18:23. > :18:28.that words can't, and Born Free goes to the heart of people, to be as
:18:29. > :18:34.free as the wind blows. So many people would like to be in that
:18:35. > :18:43.position, unfortunately. The ridge because you're born free...
:18:44. > :18:53.# Bravo, that is absolutely beautiful. What a musical show we
:18:54. > :18:57.are having. Anyway, it can't have a schedule noticed, it is Sport Relief
:18:58. > :19:02.on Friday and there is extra excitement because Frank Spencer is
:19:03. > :19:13.back. -- it can't have escaped your notice. APPLAUSE
:19:14. > :19:17.On The One Show we are such big fans of the incredible stunts that you
:19:18. > :19:21.did and Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em, and a few months ago our stunt team
:19:22. > :19:26.did this in recognition of what you went through. We have stunt men
:19:27. > :19:35.involved in this, but you did all this on your own. Yes. Jamie here,
:19:36. > :19:43.he is playing the part. He was my boss for this sequence. Was he? He
:19:44. > :19:49.was my stunt adviser. You watch this at home the night it went out on The
:19:50. > :19:59.One Show? I did. Very bizarre. It was very strange. Especially when
:20:00. > :20:05.Gyles came up and said, "That was me", and then I thought it was time
:20:06. > :20:12.to have a drink. LAUGHTER 42 years since you have the roller
:20:13. > :20:15.boots on and 38 years since the final episode of Some Mothers Do
:20:16. > :20:22.'Ave 'Em, but you have brought along an exclusive clip that will go out
:20:23. > :20:23.and Sport Relief on Friday. This is courtesy of Michael, we can have a
:20:24. > :20:55.look. I got some change this time.
:20:56. > :21:03.Congratulations, by the way. CHEERING
:21:04. > :21:09.We want to see all of that now. I hope you don't mind, you are doing
:21:10. > :21:16.all the stunts yourself at your age, were there any injuries? Yes, I got
:21:17. > :21:21.that, I was hoping it would last a bit longer, but it has nearly
:21:22. > :21:28.disappeared. I try to hide it before I got here, but it highlighted it.
:21:29. > :21:31.That was it, so I was very lucky. For you, we were talking downstairs
:21:32. > :21:36.about the fact that so many people have asked you to come back with a
:21:37. > :21:43.sketch but you really wanted to do this, and this is your writing, as
:21:44. > :21:50.well. Yes, I put a lot of that together, with the help, Raymond
:21:51. > :21:57.Allen came in, he was the original writer, to put a few words in, and
:21:58. > :22:01.they were true Frank Spencer words. No, we had not done it in 42 years
:22:02. > :22:08.and we hadn't wanted to go back to it, because we had run our course.
:22:09. > :22:14.Comic relief is extraordinary. This young woman here, she did a
:22:15. > :22:21.remarkable job last week, absolutely remarkable. Thank you, Michael.
:22:22. > :22:27.CHEERING The stuff you filmed when you were
:22:28. > :22:30.away, we were weeping at home, you could not help but weak, and when
:22:31. > :22:37.you see these children and these people who have nothing, but we have
:22:38. > :22:44.everything, we can give it, we can do it, and show people. The British
:22:45. > :22:48.public than get involved and we are great at it, the British public are
:22:49. > :22:56.great, they'll was have been. So supportive. -- they always have
:22:57. > :23:02.been. You will do anything for that, it is humanity. Last week at the
:23:03. > :23:09.carriage of going on that... I love sailing, but forget that. -- the
:23:10. > :23:13.courage of going on that. If I was you, stick to the roller skating,
:23:14. > :23:22.the velodrome, just talk us through this photo. It was full in there. I
:23:23. > :23:27.don't know if Bradley Wiggins could feel me there, what I was doing to
:23:28. > :23:30.him! LAUGHTER The appeal I was going to do
:23:31. > :23:35.something with Bradley Wiggins at the velodrome, one of the nights at
:23:36. > :23:43.the World Championships, this was two weeks ago now. This was the
:23:44. > :23:50.climax of our work for four months and the crew had been together,
:23:51. > :23:54.doing these stunts, willing us to do them, willing me to stay on the back
:23:55. > :24:01.of the bus. When we got to the velodrome, there were 6000 people,
:24:02. > :24:08.we have been a shooting from the morning, and we had been there from
:24:09. > :24:19.630, at 1030 was our time to go on. I was quite nervous. We got inside
