15/03/2017 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker

We don't want to make a song and dance about how

good tonight's show will be, but these guys

APPLAUSE APPLAUS That was amazing.

That was the cast of the classic West End musical, 42nd Street.

We've lots more fancy footwork coming up from them

Plus, we'll be chatting to their leading lady -

Sheena Easton is going to be here. There she is. Are you ready?

First though, prepare for lift-off because we're kicking

things off with the stars of the new sci-fi blockbuster, Life.

Please welcome Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson!

Nice to see you, are you well? Come and have a seat. Lovely to have you

here. Lovely to be here. Jake, you have taken time out of your Broadway

schedule to join us tonight. You are in a new musical. We didn't realise

you were a singer as well. We heard your voice. It's fantastic. We have

footage. Have you been singing since you were a young lad? Yes. It's

better on stage live every night than it is there. I have been

singing since I was a kid. Impressive. How was opening night?

Amazing. We opened the show in a new theatre, the oldest newest theatre

on Broadway. We reopened it after 50 years. It was pretty amazing. Two

opening nights. A theatre where Elvis Presley would perform and

Barbara tries end performed for the first time ever. Iconic. I'm in

crazy company. I don't know how far you are into this filming process.

I'm completed they are continuing. It's with Hugh Jackman. The first

ever circus. I play the Sweding Nightingale. Singer. Performing for

the first time. Nerve-wracking. She's Swedish. Amazing. There

weren't recordings back in the day. I couldn't hear what she sounded

like. It's maybe a good thing. Right. Modern music, written by Paul

and Justin who got the Oscar for La La Land. That's my world. Ryan

Reynolds was meant to be with us today but he's been caught up in

that storm on the east coast. Is that him just frozen there? Does he

have a gun, too? What is that? Who knows. He didn't even wear shoes on

his appearance! You are here to talk about this new sci-fi film called,

Life, later on in the show we will do a One Show first. We will cross

live to this cinema in Dorset where more than 300 unsuspecting movie

lovers will be waiting for the 7. 50pm screening, not of your film,

another film... The trailers before the film. Would you believe it, they

are not showing a thriller of your film. Can you believe that audience.

Shocking. They look so upset. We thought we needed to surprise them

with a live trailer if you are up for it. Amazing. These things are

live. They it is always good fun. Now, there's no doubt

that there are a lot of challenging jobs out there -

being a Hollywood actor might even be one of them -

but at the moment few compare Reports of violence are up,

staff numbers are down and complaints about drug use

are widespread, but one officer has managed to overcome all that,

as Raphael Rowe's found out. Life in Britain's jails is under the

spotlight. Assaults on staff are now at their highest on record, there

are staff shortages and chronic overcrowding. Some critics believe

it's creating a toxic cocktail in a system that's in meltdown. In an

attempt to recruit more staff into the profession, the Government have

announced a pay rise for some officers in London and the

south-east, but with unsociable hours and the threat of violence,

the question is - who'd want to be a prison officer? Someone like

55-year-old Bernadette Hare she works at a prison in Oxfordshire.

Nice to meet you. And you. She has been patrolling the corridors for

ten years and I'm here to spend the day wither had. We have lifers, sex

offenders, drug dealers, burglars. What does it take to be a prison

officer? You have to find your gift, if you like, your special thing.

Mine is my yapping. I can talk. We have the swagger coming now. You

need to be confident. You can't show fear. That is one thing you can't do

in this job. Shut up! Having spent some time in prison myself, I'm

interested to know if Bernie faces additional challenges as a female

prison officer working in an all male prison? You know, a lot of

these I could be their mum or grandmum in some cases,

unfortunately. In all the badness that goes on, there is still the

female staff are more protective than the male staff. By? By the

other prisoners. Really? There is still an ethos of, you don't attack

a female member of staff. I've been saved by prisoners on more than one

occasion. I've had prisoners come to my head aid. The Justice Secretary

is calling for more people to become prison officers they are fearful

because of the violence they expect? What do you see? You see a lot of

stuff you don't want to see. People are high on drugs. They are violent.

Although we are not allowed to directly film any prisoners what

I've seen today is very different. We haven't caught it on camera, I

have witnessed prisoners hugging you. In my day that didn't happen.

Are you all right darling. Are you sure? Yeah. Good. You have to be a

nurse, teacher, psychologist and their mother. You have to be

everything. In fact, Bernie's approach has won the respect of many

inmates. How are you, are you all right? Yeah. Are you all right? If

you treat people the way you want to be treated, then it's resipcle. It's

really a rewarding job. People think it's all violence and everybody

stabbing each other and blah, blah, blah. It's not like that at all. It

does happen? Oh, it does happen. It happens an awful lot, more than we

would like it to happen. That is down to staff shortages,

unfortunately. Not rocket science, they cut staff, violent lens and

self-harm went up because we don't have enough time to spend with

prisoners. For the governor, Bernie is a valuable member of staff. She

has a good balance of being disciplined and friendly with

prisoners at the same time. Prisoners respect her. Most won't

play up around her, they don't want to let her down. What do you say to

people who believe what they read if you come into this job your life is

at risk? Sometimes they are difficult. They are good places to

work. It's a people job. You can have a real impact on people and

help people to change. Two-days later and it's a very different day

for Bernie. The prison has put her forward for an award at St James'

Palace in London. I'm out of my comfort zone. It's not me at all.

She is one of a number of people being honoured for dedication and

skill in her field. She doesn't know is that her outstanding contribution

has earnt her this year's top award. I have great pleasure in announcing

this year's Princess Royal's Prize goes to Bernadette Hare. I was

shocked. Absolutely shocked. I didn't know what to say. I was

shaking so much I thought I was going to drop it. I had no idea. I

was like, wow! Pretty much, wow. For Bernie and her husband, Dave, it's

the end to a perfect day. I actually said, you'll win it. She didn't

believe me. Good job her husband has faith! So lovely. Thank you so much

to Bernie for letting us spend the day with you. A round of applause. I

think she deserves it. Why not. Congratulations on your award. Jake,

you've worked with young people in prisons, haven't you, tell us about

that, what work were you doing? I got involved because I was doing

research for a film, I learnt about the prison system in California in

the States where I grew up. I went to a number of different prisons. I

ended up in a juvenile prison through a number of different people

that I met along the way and started working a little bit with juveniles

there and started working with the programmes going on there. It was

extraordinary. Really extraordinary. I bet. This is the thing with... I

mean both of your approaches to the way you take to acting the research

you do. Thinking of this new movie. It's incredibly real and life like

in one respect because it's life on the International Space Station and

really the broad span of astronauts out there reflects, it's very real

at the moment? Is do you want to start us off? I was listening to

you, the research you do is incredible. Yes. They are sending

drones to rs Mars. We are scraping the surface of this incredible,

vast, not knowing, we have no idea how big the universe is. Science is

remarkably beautiful and lovely. People ask me if I believe there is

life out there. We found water on the moon. If there are parasites

there will be an alien form. It's a realistic sci-fi movie we are

getting closer to what could possibly happen. How do each of your

characters fit into the film, how does it come about? I play Miranda

North, a micro biology gists. A crosser of T's and dotters of i's.

She has to make sure-fire walls are up. She has to imagine the worst

that can happen, the worst after that and after that. They then break

down. Who are you when all the stable routines disappear from you?

In essence it's about life out there. Let's just have a little look

at you in action. This is the moment that this alien life-form starts

showing its more sinister side. Here we go. Lowering oxygen, more carbon

dioxide. Are you sure it won't hurt it It's a very, very low volt age.

Look how fast it's growing. Every single cell is a muscle cell and a

nerve cell. All muscle, all brain. No. It's in between my fingers. It's

not letting go. Can I make a suggestion. Can I go in there and

get him and bring him back out. No of course you cannot. I can do this.

I can. APPLAUSE. It's like a crazy

possessed won ton. He has been stressed out all day. My heart. I

watched this morning, it's done something to me. It really has. I'm

sweating having watched that scene again. You are really are? I am.

He's shaking. I don't mean to laugh, I'm sorry. I was jumping out of my

skin. I know Rebecca we talked about how scary. Did you have the same

affect? Not the sweating. I'm still sweating for it. I saw it a week

ago, I think the music, the sound effects are so important for a film

like this. When we were filming Daniel was having music on whilst

shooting the sequences. So much you don't think about that everyone adds

to this film to create what becomes that effect. Your character in the

film, you seem calm. You are dealing with the situations. You have got,

your character has a fascination with space, would prefer to be in

space than on Planet Earth? He's a medical doctor who is there to make

sure the crew stays healthy and if there is an emergency that needs to

be dealt with medically he can help with it. His first impression is not

Assad a scientists it's in awe of the thing. It becomes a type of

relationship, I think, with every single one of the... The creature

has a relationship to all of us. How we respond to it, it responds to us.

He finds it beautiful. It's quiet. That is what I liked about the

story. That is why you wanted to do it? There is a reason for you

wanting to do their movies there. Is an underlying message?

Yes. The creature does not release speak. I thought we would be

interesting if I did not speak that much either. I think it is

interesting. There's so much tension in movie. And our director casted so

beautifully. We have a character from Japan because the International

Space Station is multicultural. There is someone from the UK, the

United States, Russia. And because of that I think we all interact with

this thing in different way. And also because it is not set in the

future, the deals that could be happening. That is what makes it

scary. I'm all right now! Have some water! You probably deal with things

on the farm and you understand there may be some organisms that are not

always so helpful. That is why you are sweating! I'm fine now. And

let's move on to the bromance you had with Ryan Reynolds. Always happy

to talk about that! Good buddies. He is a wonderful man. I think in our

business it is rare when you meet someone who is a contemporary where

there are literally is no competition. You know. Just that

real love. It is just friends you meet is a certain time in your life.

We met a movie and just became close friends. And for me when I come

abroad there is already this hubristic side and it is very

welcome. It lightens up what could be a tense moment to film in because

it is a hard movie to shoot. But we laughed a lot. One of my favourite

moments was in that scene when Ryan turned around in the middle of a

shot. He was right on the front and we were watching on the back. He

turned around and said, we are all going to die! It just lightened the

mood a little bit. It is strange and dark humour but we know him for that

as well. And it is in the cinemas from next Friday. Still plenty of

time to see it. It is Friday, next Friday. And of course the latest in

a long line of great alien movies. We asked Lucy to boldy go

and seek out the good, the bad and the ugly

of our favourite on screen Here we go.

In our quest to explore the universe we have launched chimpanzees into

space, landed men on the moon and hurled a satellite out of the solar

system. But it is only thanks to a love the movies that we have been

introduced to a whole new universe aliens.

One of the cutest aliens to visitors did not have a bad bone in his body.

I'm not so sure about the finger. Because he is designed to look cute,

ugly, hideous, likeable, every single feature is maximised to be

cute. That is one of the reasons why he appealed so much to children.

These are shrouded in mist and they communicate in an non-linear form of

language transcending space and time. That is a proper introduction.

But have they got friendly intentions? We spent the whole film

trying to communicate with them and understand them, what they are

actually saying and the language they use. Things are more

straightforward with the aliens in the day the earth stood still.

Language was not the problem. We were the problem.

I took to the streets to find out what your favourite movie aliens are

and why. Mine is ET. I would quite like to wrap him up in a blanket. I

like the Klingons in Star Trek the pub they combine scariness with

slight sexiness which is kind of weird. The aliens in toy story. It

takes me back to when I used to watch it as a kid and great

catchphrase as well. Men in Black, that surprise when you expect the

dog to bark at its peak. That is freaky. Not all aliens are cute,

some are just born bad. This is the three times made things

from another world, well known for doing awful stuff. Infecting all

humanity. Tom Cruise met another deadly species of alien hidden

inside a machine in War of the world. We reached a point in cinema

history where we have the special effects know-how and technology to

detect the kind of large-scale devastation of the planet that we

all expect from interstellar wars. Pretty impressive. So I figured I

would take a look and see how it is done. These computer wizards are

responsible for creating the visual effects of the new sci-fi film,

Life. What qualities do you need question not something that you can

relate to. Talk about how you develop the creature filled up when

you get the character you add physicality, you take the parameters

for the kind of materials, some kind of fleshy skin. And you add stiff

ill it is or how stretchy. CGI is pretty but if you need scary aliens

you need to go back to the rubber suit and slime technology that

creates the alien from the alien franchise.

I think I prefer ET. Thanks, Lucy.

I just keep checking our new! We have got a Scaryometer. Calvin is

the name of the alien in your movie. So this is the scale. From nice to

be be evil. To be fair I'm kind of over here. Would it not be a

process? I think. That is true. When he is named. I think that we start

there. He has multiple personalities. He is basically an

actor. Put in there for the majority but actually he goes off the scale!

We will put that down there. We like playing that game! No. Anyway...

Samuel L Jackson sat here a few weeks ago and we were speaking about

Kong and he was so surprised by size when it came out. How surprised Wii

U at what Calvin looked like when you saw him? -- how surprised where

you. Pretty surprised. I loved that we did not have anything to work

from when we shot the film. Why was that? I think that Daniel the

director wanted us to use our own imagination and be afraid of what

ever we were afraid. I think that was what is so great about Daniel,

he did that all over the place and allowed us to interact with the

alien the way we would be actually afraid. And in the end he created, I

considered actually the creature to be a bit like Daniel sometimes.

Because he was speaking to us in the scenes all the time, saying, it is

moving up to you. He would direct you where to look. So he was

manipulating us in that way. And sometimes you could see Calvin

through the eyes of other people. My character, as he has behind glass

because she's always behind the firewall. I'd also she would see the

beauty. Loving this creature. I think she experienced beauty through

seeing what others thought in Calvin. You can attack it from

different angles. As actors I think you've both been involved in very

physical films, Mission Impossible, Jarhead, you really have to dedicate

yourself to learning the lines but also your bodies. How was the

training for Life? It is hard-core, wire training, acrobatics. We had

this incredible movement coach, Alexander Reynolds. What is hardest

is creating your own personal movement. You were part of this

spaceship was a much longer than my character because she came last. I

could be a little bit bumpy and graceful and that would be accepted.

You are very graceful and athletic. She made some pretty strong moves.

One of the interesting things about the movie, the women in the movie

are incredibly strong. Physically and intellectually, emotionally. It

is rare in a movie when you really, it is unfortunate but it is more

rare than having a man be like that. And to watch the women be the

strongest characters really, is awesome. And all some to play! An

interesting fact about you, Rebecca, and I imagine in this film there are

confined spaces for filming but you also get claustrophobic. And you

have a fear of heights. Bring it on! Arachnophobia! We have an

interesting guest in the studio tonight and we think you will be

impressed and could potentially use him as a stunt person in future

films. Adrenaline junkie Fraser Corsan will

attempt to break for world record in the extreme sport of wingsuit

diving. And he is here to tell us why on earth he is doing it. So

first of all, he he is obviously suspended from the studio roof. Are

you all right up there? It is a real joy. Well we have the ability with

the camera to get underneath, give us an idea of how you fly in his

suit and how it works. So I'm inside the wingsuit, it acts purely as a

wing so I put tension into it at the moment. The leading edge is

high-density done so it is efficient because naturally the arm shape is

not efficient. It is also pretty huge. I will be travelling around

160 miles an hour. For every metre fall I will go forward is about

three meters. That is the glide ratio. But I'm doing 164. Foreword.

I'm going to hold onto your chest like this. You guys will know all

about this getting people in and out wires.

Just give us an idea of these world records you are trying to break.

We're going for four records, time, distance, speed and altitude. The

longest time in freefall freefall flight, around ten minutes. And then

going for speed, as fast as I can go, we aim for about 250 miles an

hour. How much of a concept of speed to you get when you are up there,

obviously at a great height. Because you're not passing things. Well

we're pushing the limits for just about everything. If the clouds I

can see fields and general topography flying by. I have

previously raced cars on motorways and you can pass the cars. So after

the speed and then distance. That is glide path so maximising that and

going as far as we can. But it is a huge workload on the body, your arms

start to tire and fatigue comes in. You need to keep strong. A huge

amount of core strength, shoulder and arm strength so a lot of gym

sessions and endurance. Why are you doing this, is it just because you

love it. I love to fly. But fundamentally there is fantastic

charity, the armed forces charity, and we are raising awareness and

funds for them. And these guys look after 60,000 people a year in terms

of treatment. Whether X or serving. We are targeting ?1 million. People

can see the details of how to support it online. And we're doing

that to raise awareness. You must have a very understanding family. We

wish all the best. Very impressive. That was cool.

Superhuman. He is. And he has style, too. He looks like a monk. Back to

earth now, this weekend is the anniversary of an event that

threatened to change the Cornish coastline beyond recognition. Here's

Miranda. On the 18th March, 1967, our shores witnessed the worst

environmental disaster in British history. A supertanker, the Torrey

Canyon, carrying nearly 120,000 tonnes of crude oil, hit rocks off

the coast of Cornwall and started sinking. No-one was prepared for

this kind of disaster or its aftermath. As the oil spread to the

beaches, Charles Brett, now 97, the surveyor for a local council, who

was one of the first people to deal with the clean-up operation. How did

you feel seeing that sight? These beautiful beaches? It was quite

appalling. One of the most beautifully areas, the sea was

covered that looked iebg chocolate moose. The authorities decided to

spray the oil with strong detergent in an attempt to clean-up the

coastline. Charles was a keen amateur film-maker and has footage

of the operation. That is horrible. I spent all my time walking

up-and-down the coast advising on what quantityies were required.

Nobody questioned me about how much to use. The detergent is a quick-fix

to get rid of the oil, that has a long lasting effect on the wildlife?

Yes. After a week, the Tory canyon, which was snagged on rocks, began

breaking up, leaking out more oil. A decision was made to sink it, bombs

were dropped, rockets were fired and even kerosene was used to burn off

the oil. Stephen Hawkins, aged 11, remembers watching the TV coverage.

It was quite exciting but at the same time it was quite scary. The

bombing seemed to be a neat solution. It probably made matters

worse in the long run. He is a professor of natural sciences and

has been studying the damage the clean-up operation had around the

shores of west Cornwall. These detergents weren't like what you use

to wash up at home, they were quite toxic solvents they killed the

grazing organisms. This has a damage being effect on the whole ecosystem

and can take an enormous amount of time to recover. It was not all bad

news. The Torrey Canyon was the grubby start of something beautiful

for ex-soldier Paul and cafe worker Petunia. We tried to clean the

beaches. We didn't know how to to. Nobody advised us how to do. We were

told to spread detergent as best we could. It brought the two of you

together, tell me how you met? I sold him an ice-cream. He came back

and had a coffee and said, can I ask you out? The cleaning came to an end

for us. Paul said, I'm leaving tomorrow and I want to take you with

me. So I said, is that a proposal in a roundabout sort of way? That was

it, we got married. Five months later. Five months later. Since then

the Torrey Canyon disaster lessons have been learned. Stephen's

research and that of other scientists has showned that the

beaches took over 10 years to recover when detergent was spread on

them. For those who didn't, it took two years. If oil comes ashore the

best thing to do is let nature take its course. Waves are good

dispersants. Crude oil is a natural compact. Oil will naturally get

degraded and the shore will get back to normal after a couple of A

two-days of years. Bombing the Torrey Canyon sank. Spillages still

occur on a regular basis all around the world. Thankfully, now a days we

are better equipped at dealing with this disasters than all those years

ago. For the sake of our coastline and our wildlife I dearly hope we

never have to see this sort of thing again. Thank you very much indeed.

Miranda. Earlier on in the show we saw this cinema in Christchurch in

Dorset. These unsuspecting movie fans. We will look inside. They are

all waiting to see a film in just a few minutes time. There are people

there, apparently! The thing, is the cinema wasn't planning of showing a

trailer of your new movie, Life. Some people are getting great

advertising. The house lights rum. It's packed. We will crash the

trailers and it's over to you two to convince them to watch your film.

Wow. Shall we do it now? Let's crash the cinema, in 3, 2, 1. Here we go.

Hello to you all at the rowing end centre cinema in Christchurch, you

are live on the One Show. There you go. APPLAUS Very nice. We are sorry

to be interrupting your night out tonight. There is one key trailer

missing from tonight's proceedings. We wanted to rectify that mistake

everyone. We did us. With us in the studio tonight are two very special

guests who have a film they would like you to see. Give a cheer and a

round of applause for stars of the new sci-fi thriller, Life, it's Jake

Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson. APPLAUS You have the audience in the

palm of your hands you can get them to do whatever you want. Do you have

thoughts, what do you fancy? Maybe we should give them a taste of this

film. Do you fancy doing that. What a great idea. Let us roll the

trailer. You take it away. Here we go. Coming soon to cinemas across

the UK, including the rowing end centre in Christchurch in set we

bring be you. Life A terrifying sci-fi thriller about a team of

scientists aboard the International Space Station whose mission of

discovery turns out to be one of primal fear. They discover the first

signs of life beyond Earth. The rapidly changing life form is more

intelligent than imagined. It quickly evolves to threaten the crew

and the future of humanking Assad we know it. Fr those of you who ever

warned if life exists beyond this planet BE WARNED! Please be warned.

Take a cushion, you will be sweating by the end of it. Ask Matt, if you

want to get sweaty, go. Thank you. Thank you to our lovely cinema

people. Thank you, enjoy your movie. Thank you for being involved in the

One Show. Good night to one and They seemed a all. Bit confused, I have

to say. When you said us they were like - OK. You did good. Sheena

Easton will be here in a few minutes to tell us about her new musical.

First a fellow Glaswegian a photographer with a habit of getting

up close and personal. I've come to Glasgow, I joined the

army straight out of school. When I left I sold cars then I got into

photography seriously ten years ago. I read about how the life expectancy

in Kensington Chelsea. But in Glasgow it's 54 for men. I took the

pictures of people in both places catching them at traffic lights,

shooting through the window. Knightsbridge is like another world.

The people in, there the money floating about. It's unreal. The

average asking price for a property around here is about ?2.5 million. I

mean ?2.5 million quid. You read the statistic about London property

prices and it's boom time again. That is what they tell us again. If

you go to Glasgow and tell them Britain is blood blooming they laugh

their heads off at you. I think Dougie is the best street

photographer working at the moment. Worldwide. A street photographer

needs to be very curious about people. Although they are taking

pictures that are sometimes a little cruel, they are not doing it out of

cruelty. They are actually doing it out of curiosity. As far as

photographers go my, I had a big influence from Martin. Nice. Very

sharp that, isn't it. Crikey. Double flash arrests it a little bit.

Double flash. Yeah, one at the top and one at the bottom. There aren't

any shadows, really. Seven skins he is wearing. Crikey. Do people say,

I'm going to call the police and all that stuff? You get that sometimes.

I give them the number, 999. It's an occupational hazard, isn't it?

Definitely. The first thing you have to be when you are going so close to

people is absolutely bold and confident. You know, it's street

life, isn't it? They are always here. Watch my toes. It's in your

face, brash, loud therefore it's absolutely appropriate for the times

we live in. The new money people in the Ferraris they seem to hate

getting their picture taken. They don't stop to chat. Some of the old

eccentrics I snap, they don't seem to mind so much. Do you like the

photograph? I'm not telling you. You are showing it as it is. The

arrogant English people who went there. That generation is dying out

now. Now it's a different wealth from different countries, isn't it?

It's an art format. Do you kiss a dog? Oh. Look it

doesn't want kissed, look. A great photographer. An interesting person,

and someone I think who will be around for a long time. Hello. Can I

take your picture? That would freak me out, do you

reckon. It's a bit much, isn't it? Wow. You can see more of Dougie and

his portfolio of photos in What Do Artists Do All Day tomorrow night at

8. 8.30pm on BBC Four. Now from bond themes to duets with Kenny Rodgers

and Prince, our next guest has truly made her musical mark.

# My maybe baby catches the morning train

We are head popping or swaying. What a selection, please welcome to the

one show, Sheena Easton. APPLAUSE. What a collection. What a

collection. Which brought back the happiest memory when you were

watching that? It wasn't the bad perm and the boiler suit one. When

people show these montages they show it. I had a few other bad choices

back then. You were happy with that, that was all right for you? That was

better than some you could have shown. It started back in 1980. You

were on a reality T V show called Big Time presented by Esther

Rantzen. With reality TV shows they are ten a penny. It was so different

then. Do you think it kick-started your career? Oh, totally. Back then

it wasn't so. A reality show it was a documentary.

It was a one hour documentary. It was part of six. The concept was -

let's get a young girl, take her to a record company if she passes an

addition you can make a single. We will show the public how a single is

made. It ended up the record company signed me on-the-spot for a

long-term deal. It totally changed my life. Honestly, I think we all

know that you can practice your craft. I was in drama school,

working on my craft, singing in bands at night. No matter how much

talent or ability you have, you need the first thing that opens the door

that gives you your shot. That was such a huge blessing for me.

And I then did you have a plan, you have done an eclectic mix of music.

What was the thing for you, music in a band, rock? It was one of those

things, I was the youngest of six and I used to sneak in and steal

everyone's records to play on the record player. They all had

different musical styles. My brother was listening to Genesis, my sister

was listening to Joni Mitchell, someone else listen to Shirley

Bassey and Mike dad had another collection. So I grew up absorbing

all those styles. Of course when I first joined my first band H 17 at

drama school, I was supporting myself and I just sang anything to

pay the rent. I just kind of listen to Radio 1, of course! Then I would

just practice it. Someone would yell thing, whatever, and you just had to

go into it. It was good training but it left me with a lab for every

style of music. And to this day I perform with my band and go out and

do my shows and do the hits. But I spent a lot of time working with

symphonies. I do a varied programme with different symphonies and all

kinds of music. You are in Las Vegas at the moment. I've lived there 12

or 13 years. It was not a plan to go and live in Las Vegas, I went there

and did eight shows a week for two years. My babies were aged five and

six bed and started school and then when I decided the cake, I can leave

now, they did not want to give up their friends at school. So of

course you go for Ukip want to go and I stayed in crazy Las Vegas and

watched it grow into what it is today. It has changed so much. And

now you're back in London to perform 42nd Street. What is your role and

tap dancing? Well I had a vague idea about the show but I looked it up on

Wikipedia! That is great to do! When I read about the show it described

my character as an over the hill diva who has not had a hit in ten

years and is legendary for her ability -- inability to dance. I

thought it has got my name all over it! Who could turn that down, do not

even need to act. So she's fabulous, she comes in and she flounces around

and sweeps across the stage, a bit like a darling, Darling cut the

person. I'm surrounded by these beautifully talented dancers. I

think the largest number of dancers ever, 42. The producers made a

commitment to make it one of the biggest spectaculars that has ever

been on the stage either here or back in New York. They put so much

into the set and the costumes and every part of it. We are rehearsing

right now getting ready for the previews on Monday. Instead of

sitting having a cup of tea I cannot tear myself away from the wings, I

need to see these other scenes because there's just this beautiful

stuff forming in front of me. I wish I could be out in the audience one

night watching it. And just have physically and mentally exhausting

is it? I'm told I'm pretty mentally exhausting to be times! But for the

dancers, it is very demanding. When you see them, their athletes, they

can do this easily without breaking a sweat. We spoke about them think

the Argentine tango and that is a love of yours. It is and I've also

tried tap dancing. It was not really my thing. But I think body awareness

and acting goes hand in hand. But it is hard and exhausting. The

Argentinian tango is very essential and it really tells a relationship.

Have you tried it? No one would ever ask me to try it! You are no

stranger to a bit of a work-out. I am just sweating! But to be fair

some of the physical roles that you have taken on in the past, fitness

just must take over your life. You made that sound like it was such a

tragedy! To me it always starts from a place of what is this skill set,

what is the thing you're doing and can you learn something. Then

eventually obviously if you work hard enough you end up that your

body and your persona, although things are shaped to it. It is the

physical world display shows you you can get in shape but my mind, even

in like that, I believed stupidly that I was in fact a boxer in that

period of time. So you take yourself there or do you have people around

you that they get up, go for a jog, or are you very dedicated? I put in

a little -- put on a little shirt and I can run for ever. That is the

truth. You can put on a little shirt any time! Are you enjoying being

back in London? I'm loving it, I had forgotten so much about this city. I

lived here when I first started out, I had an apartment for a year and

I'm enjoying having Sundays off and walking round inevitably in the rain

and getting to know the areas again. I'm really looking forward to

spending some time and getting to know the city again. Lovely to have

you here and Sheena is in 42nd Street from Monday at the Theatre

Royal in Drury Lane in London's West End.

We've talked lots about aliens on the show tonight and some

of you will believe and some of you won't.

Which is why we'd like to show you this film from George.

For all you naysayers out there, maybe it's time to take a look

at what's moving around in your back garden?

Humankind has always had a fascination with the unknown.

Haunted by visions of the Apocalypse, they have taken many

forms. But killer plans that move, preposterous! Or is it?

Ever since the ancient Greeks botanist have observed how plants

grow and also how they can move independently, it comes from a Greek

word, tropism meaning to turn. Everyday plants can display

extraordinary movements. The Venus fly trap is activated by trigger

hair is along its traps shutting its deadly leaves tight. This

sensitivity is rather less threatening in the shame planet.

Here the slightest touch of a finger causes areas of the stem to release

water displacing compounds and the affected cells collapse. And another

tropism has fascinated scientists from thousands of years ago. The

tropism. Here the toad Flax starts off as is sun-seeker and then hearts

-- then heads towards the dark crevices to planted seeds. And stems

of the funds are tracks unlike during the day, turning with the

light. Doctor Jim is a science historian from the University of

Sussex. Everyone knows if you keep the plant as a windowsill eventually

it moves toward the sun. How does that happen? The plant produces a

hormone which is diffused down the stem and causes cells on the shady

side to grow longer. And so relative to the other side that makes it

curve. And only in the 20th century we have really seen that because of

voter lapse photography that they developed mechanisms over the course

of evolution to find light quickly. So even the growth of plants fits in

with the Darwin theory of everything. Darwin spent more time

on plans than anything else and published six books just on

botanical topics. He was fascinated by plants. In 1880 Derby that Darwin

was at a disadvantage because without time-lapse photography how

could he record the movement of plants. At the original glass house

here in Kent we challenged Gardner Christina to track the movement of

the Pelargonium replicating the exact experiment that Darwin did

write here over a century ago. He did not have all this sophisticated

technology we have today and had to rely on basic tools. He placed a

glass element on the leaf blade and that is the point I will trace as

the leaf is moving. The plant is then placed behind a sheet of glass

with a fixed reference point. Christina will mark a doctor for

every hour of some Ides over the next 24 hours tracing the daily

movement of belief. I have proposed Dollman technique, a time-lapse

camera set to track every movement of the plant at 2.5 minute

intervals. So while Christina sits and watches and marks, I'm off and

we'll come back later to see what has happened. How will 24 hours of

observations compare using the Darwin methods and my own? OK,

George, so finally with a piece of paper over the glass sheet we can

trace the movement of the plant after connecting all the dots. We

can see that belief was busy moving all day today, hunting for the

light. You can see the loop it created. This corresponds to the

results that Darwin himself had. It is quite a special thing to think

that Charles Darwin sat here doing exactly this. It is quite special.

We've seen the work of Darwin in action but what does Mike time-lapse

show? Ready for this? I am indeed. Look at that. Fantastic. Now we can

see in real time what Darwin never could. Plans are on the move. Not

science fiction. Science fact. Thank you, George!

Thanks to our guests Jake and Rebecca -

And thanks too to Sheena - 42nd Street starts

Tomorrow Dan Stevens, the star of the new Beauty

and the Beast film, will be our guest.

But now, it's over to 42nd Street to play us out in style.

Good night, everyone. # Those dancing feet.

# I am taking you to 42nd Street. # They're side by side,
