After a hectic career spanning over 45 years as a musician, comedian and

:00:25.:00:28.

writer, tonight 's guests may finally be accepting he's getting

:00:29.:00:36.

older. I will pick you up to 11. 11? ! I'm not a teenage! All right! Half

:00:37.:00:45.

nine! Please welcome a rather spritely Jasper Carrott. It's

:00:46.:00:51.

wonderful news that you are back. There we saw, with your real-life

:00:52.:00:55.

daughter Lucy Davis. Why didn't she want to take on the family name of

:00:56.:01:03.

Carrott? Lucy Carrott! I can see that! She just wanted to make it all

:01:04.:01:09.

on our own without any influence from me. I have never pulled a

:01:10.:01:14.

string or anything like that. I give her advice and she gives me advice,

:01:15.:01:17.

but she has died all by herself. Very proud of her. And kept the

:01:18.:01:23.

family name, Davis, which you changed! It's not a stage name. I

:01:24.:01:30.

have had Jasper since I was nine. There's no reason behind it. Where

:01:31.:01:36.

did the Carrott come from? When I was 17, I was on a golf course with

:01:37.:01:42.

the drummer from yellow and a bloke came over and he said, this is

:01:43.:01:47.

Jasper, and the bloke said, first time in my life, Jasper who? And I

:01:48.:01:56.

said, Carrott! And that was it! He thought it was the funniest thing

:01:57.:01:57.

ever and told everybody. was Jasper Carrott, nothing to do

:01:58.:02:03.

with the business. My wife went out with me for six months and she

:02:04.:02:07.

didn't realise it wasn't my real name. I took out to meet my mum and

:02:08.:02:11.

she said, hello Bobby. out of control. It is the school

:02:12.:02:52.

prom, and teenagers are intent on arriving in style. Today I in

:02:53.:02:58.

Nottinghamshire. I'm here to investigate a new tradition that

:02:59.:03:04.

most people over the age of 30 no little about. It's extravagant, it

:03:05.:03:09.

is trustee up, and people arrive in the most weird and wonderful ways,

:03:10.:03:15.

it is the high school prom. It's no huge here, basically it is a big

:03:16.:03:20.

doom for secondary school leavers. You must be Elliott. Elliot Davis is

:03:21.:03:24.

getting ready for the biggest night of the year. He has lined up a

:03:25.:03:31.

luxury set of wheels, a snip at ?400. How are you travelling

:03:32.:03:35.

tonight? We have a white Rolls-Royce. We will have a

:03:36.:03:41.

chauffeur. In my day, 81 on bus. Nowadays everyone wants to get the

:03:42.:03:47.

nicest car. What does it mean to you? Because we have left school

:03:48.:03:53.

now, save them all again for the last time, that makes it special. --

:03:54.:04:02.

Steven Paul again. How is that? It is different! I normally do that,

:04:03.:04:09.

but it ruins your... Don't worry about ruining my! I can see where

:04:10.:04:14.

the inspiration comes from! Now let's see where the -- how the girls

:04:15.:04:20.

are preparing. Some of the dresses are astonishing. Some of the girls

:04:21.:04:25.

think nothing of importing them from America. How are you doing? I am OK.

:04:26.:04:35.

For once I don't have to cut in the air but we are going to put it up to

:04:36.:04:38.

complement this trust. How much do you think you have spent in total?

:04:39.:04:47.

Over 200. Is it your money? No, my mum has pay for it all. What about

:04:48.:04:54.

your mates? Probably about three or 400. There must be pressure on

:04:55.:05:00.

people to wear a certain dress or look a certain way? Note of people

:05:01.:05:05.

have been looking for their dresses for ages. We started away before we

:05:06.:05:08.

got our tickets are before Christmas. I love it!

:05:09.:05:21.

Would do the parents make of it all? It gives them something to look

:05:22.:05:29.

forward to. But it is quite costly. It's good we celebrate their school

:05:30.:05:36.

life. It's nice for them to get together and say their last

:05:37.:05:40.

goodbyes. They could do it in jeans and trainers, couldn't they? I don't

:05:41.:05:45.

think we would get away with that! Time to head off to the prom. Scrubs

:05:46.:05:51.

up quite well, doesn't he? Tickets cost ?35 for this from, and for

:05:52.:05:56.

that, you get a hot meal and a disco. -- for this prom.

:05:57.:06:09.

It's more like the Oscars than a school disco! There is a real

:06:10.:06:14.

competition to make your arrival stand out from the crowd. That means

:06:15.:06:19.

everything from ice cream vans to a short trip in a roller. But two

:06:20.:06:24.

girls have topped the lot, taking to the air! That's the way to arrive at

:06:25.:06:37.

the school prom! And is a teacher here. Wendy you start planning

:06:38.:06:42.

something like this? We will be running next year 's tomorrow. Did

:06:43.:06:49.

they stop calling you miss? No, they still call us miss and serve. White

:06:50.:06:57.

is there such a rise in popularity? I think it's the movies, and coming

:06:58.:07:01.

over from America and all the influence from there. Take a look.

:07:02.:07:11.

Brilliant! Before tonight I was sceptical, but after seeing how

:07:12.:07:14.

excited and happy the kids are, you can't knock it. I just wish mine was

:07:15.:07:21.

as good as this. You can see all the teenagers

:07:22.:07:26.

thinking, I never thought of that! Jasper, you are 16, turning up at

:07:27.:07:31.

one of those Proms, what do you arrive in? Drone! Lets be modern! I

:07:32.:07:43.

didn't even buy my kids food! 400 quid for a dress? You get back up

:07:44.:07:48.

the chimneys! What would you do if any of your grandchildren said, I

:07:49.:07:53.

want a dress for ?400? I think I know the answer! Immediately, I

:07:54.:08:01.

would have them certified. It's an interesting point. You have done

:08:02.:08:04.

well for yourself stop did you find it difficult not to be too much of

:08:05.:08:09.

an dotted parent? My wife is brilliant, we have been married 42

:08:10.:08:13.

years. She is the generous one. So we combine. If they can get round

:08:14.:08:20.

me, fine, but if they can't, then grandma has to do it. It's a good

:08:21.:08:27.

relationship. A good balance. We want to talk about your tour, it's

:08:28.:08:32.

been 16 years since you were last on tour, what was it that made you

:08:33.:08:36.

decide to get back on the road? It came about last year. My best friend

:08:37.:08:45.

Dave, who I mentioned, he has been in ELO four years, and we had never

:08:46.:08:51.

toured together. And we thought we had better do it before we take out.

:08:52.:09:02.

We had a group called Belch, and it was me and him, and Tony are from

:09:03.:09:07.

Black Sabbath. We are all big mates. So we called ourselves Belch. We did

:09:08.:09:19.

a few stupid shows and stuff. But last year Bev and I did a few dates,

:09:20.:09:25.

heated the music, I did the comedy, with some mates from Birmingham. We

:09:26.:09:30.

were just amazed at the reaction. We had massive, standing ovations every

:09:31.:09:35.

night for all the 60s music and 60s jokes! We would have had 100%

:09:36.:09:43.

standing ovation every night if 100% of the audience could stand! So are

:09:44.:09:50.

you saying with this tour that you are aiming at a new market and if

:09:51.:09:55.

you are, how are you billing it? It is called stand up and work! --

:09:56.:10:02.

rock. And there is an audience there that has not been get it for, they

:10:03.:10:06.

want comedy but they don't want to read syndrome that goes with it

:10:07.:10:10.

these days, and they like to hear hold music, and there are printed

:10:11.:10:15.

editions we are working with. Is it still anecdotal? I have always said,

:10:16.:10:25.

what's the secret of your longevity, I always talk about who I am, what I

:10:26.:10:31.

am, where I am. Right now, I am 69 years old, I can look back and talk

:10:32.:10:34.

about getting old, talk about being a grandparent, and I say, people

:10:35.:10:44.

say, when you have grandchildren wonderful because you can give them

:10:45.:10:46.

back when you have finished playing with them. They are like herpes, you

:10:47.:10:54.

can't get rid of them! And their run round the house, arms stuck halfway

:10:55.:11:02.

up the U bend... My back is killing me, two hours I played piggyback

:11:03.:11:07.

with my five-year-old granddaughter and I fell off! Jasper, you reunited

:11:08.:11:20.

with Robert Powell. Is there any chance that the The Detectives will

:11:21.:11:25.

come back? No, it was fantastic mother did seven years of it, became

:11:26.:11:30.

like blood brothers. He is a remarkable actor, I get down to my

:11:31.:11:37.

level very quickly. But he has his career, I have mine, we have

:11:38.:11:38.

remained very close. He career, I have mine, we have

:11:39.:11:47.

underrated, I think. We need to see a clip. Let's take you back to 1993.

:11:48.:11:54.

We should be using our heads, not chasing people. What would Inspector

:11:55.:11:59.

We should be using our heads, not Morse do? You are right. Two pints

:12:00.:12:06.

of test, please! Of all the things you have done and been part of,

:12:07.:12:10.

of test, please! Of all the things you have a favourite? Stand-up

:12:11.:12:12.

of test, please! Of all the things very hard to beat. It's very

:12:13.:12:15.

immediate with the audience. I always say, Judge comedian by seeing

:12:16.:12:19.

him live, that's when you see the best of them. I felt the best thing

:12:20.:12:31.

I did was about 1980, I did a live, one-hour show from the threat

:12:32.:12:37.

I did was about 1980, I did a live, Royal -- Theatre Royal, Drury Lane,

:12:38.:12:40.

it was live to air. And I always remember, I had a routine,

:12:41.:12:46.

it was live to air. And I always get into a routine, we had to get

:12:47.:12:48.

into an advert before ten p.m., because of the money. I had this six

:12:49.:12:51.

or seven minute routine about local radio, and there was a bloke at the

:12:52.:12:56.

frontier would hold up a card saying whether I had six minutes, five

:12:57.:13:01.

minutes, and I got to do is point, I looked down, and his card said two.

:13:02.:13:07.

I had to get a seven minute routine down to two minutes,

:13:08.:13:34.

I had to get a seven minute routine advice. Time now for some heavy

:13:35.:13:41.

metal. Joe Crowley discovers why a mining community is digging hard

:13:42.:13:42.

rock for the first time in years. What are they digging for? I will

:13:43.:13:53.

give you a clue. It's incredibly hard, heavy, expensive, and you have

:13:54.:13:59.

probably heard of it. It's tongue tungsten. This is a bit of land with

:14:00.:14:10.

the potential to produce over 3000 tonnes of tungsten concentrate every

:14:11.:14:14.

year. Jeff Harrison is from the owners. Is this what we are looking

:14:15.:14:21.

for? Yes, this is the tungsten or, found the granite locally. What sort

:14:22.:14:27.

of properties does tungsten have? A high knotting put, it is a very hard

:14:28.:14:32.

wearing material, it is much in demand. -- high melting point. How

:14:33.:14:40.

significant will this mind be? We will have about 10 million tonnes a

:14:41.:14:47.

year, it will have a value of about 700,000 US dollars per truck. Mining

:14:48.:14:54.

in Devon and Cornwall dates act to 2000 BC and it reached its peak in

:14:55.:14:59.

the 19th century with over 2000 mines, employing large numbers of

:15:00.:15:03.

people. But metal mining ended 16 years ago with the closure of

:15:04.:15:08.

Europe's last working tin mine and these men were all out of a job.

:15:09.:15:14.

Opencast mines on the let's get often attract opposition but here,

:15:15.:15:17.

most people come to the benefits of reviving a proud local industry. How

:15:18.:15:22.

important has mining been for the south-west? Very important. A way of

:15:23.:15:30.

life. It is who we were. When it stopped you weren't who you were,

:15:31.:15:35.

any more, can you understand that? Most of the miners found job

:15:36.:15:40.

quickly. They are workers. Wanted to work. The fitter ones went abroad to

:15:41.:15:46.

where they can make the money. Jimmy has worked in Australia. It isn't

:15:47.:15:56.

the mine, the whole area was living off the How positivive mine. Are

:15:57.:16:02.

you? Very positive. Optimistic. Are you excited about this? Yes I am. A

:16:03.:16:10.

generation of south-west's mining sons emgrated in search of work,

:16:11.:16:14.

work that has now come home. It will award local firms ?5 million in

:16:15.:16:23.

contracts. This mine could have an effect, not just on the local

:16:24.:16:25.

economy, but for the country as a whole. Dr Robin Shell is from the

:16:26.:16:34.

School of Mines. This is an example of what is being mined here. We can

:16:35.:16:39.

see gran anyway. This pale-coloured rock. We can see a series of quartz

:16:40.:16:47.

veins. This needs to be separated out. This is what holds the

:16:48.:16:52.

tungsten. Can the price stay high enough or will it fold within a few

:16:53.:16:56.

years? The production price here is relatively low. It means that there

:16:57.:17:01.

would have to be a major reduction in global price for it to affect

:17:02.:17:05.

this project and is well placed to benefit from what are likely to be

:17:06.:17:08.

significant price hikes in tungsten over the next two to three years or

:17:09.:17:14.

so because of the lack of other global producers being able to join

:17:15.:17:17.

the It's thought market. That 80% of the world's tungsten is in China.

:17:18.:17:22.

This mine is believed to be the fourth largest tungsten resource in

:17:23.:17:25.

the world. Planning permission is currently for the next 10 years. In

:17:26.:17:30.

that time, the mine's revenue is forecast to be an estimated ?1

:17:31.:17:35.

billion. It's actually incredible to think that one of the world's

:17:36.:17:39.

biggest deposits of tungsten is just here in this hill, in Devon. It's

:17:40.:17:44.

great news, not just for the south-west, but for the whole UK

:17:45.:17:56.

economy. ?700,000 per lorry load, extraordinary? I don't know what you

:17:57.:18:00.

do with tonnes of tungsten, maybe you don't nick it. What would life

:18:01.:18:06.

be like without tungsten? Tungsten is everywhere - I've never asked

:18:07.:18:10.

that question before. You are a keen golfer. I am indeed. Tungsten is

:18:11.:18:14.

hard it goes into all sorts of thing. Your golf clubs wouldn't be

:18:15.:18:19.

as good. It's heavy. That is quite good, you are the golfer, for

:18:20.:18:25.

weighting the club. It would be a small amount of tungsten to give the

:18:26.:18:29.

weight with plenty of face on the club - It wasn't for that golf club

:18:30.:18:36.

he wouldn't be called Carrott, we heard that earlier. The point of a

:18:37.:18:39.

fishing hook can't break or lose the one that would have got away. That

:18:40.:18:44.

has tungsten in. The tip of darts. The military use it for armoured

:18:45.:18:49.

piercing shells. You have it on the tip of darts. It gets everywhere.

:18:50.:18:54.

Very important in daily life. When you are on the golf course and your

:18:55.:18:57.

agent rings and tells you to get back to work. You would be close to

:18:58.:19:02.

it then. The vibrating alert in a phone a bit of tungsten. Heavy going

:19:03.:19:07.

backwards and forwards. There you have it. Thank you very much.

:19:08.:19:16.

Tungsten is a Swedish word. Meaning "heavy rock." There is one back at

:19:17.:19:22.

you. APPLAUSE

:19:23.:19:26.

Another mine opening up. Another one close to the border. There are plans

:19:27.:19:33.

in Wakefield to explore a new coal mine. Interesting. You are a keen

:19:34.:19:38.

runner. We have this lovely picture of you. You are in your early '50s.

:19:39.:19:44.

The London Marathon in 19 97. The last time I did it. I have kept

:19:45.:19:48.

myself pretty fit. You look. It Thank you, very much. Running the

:19:49.:19:54.

marathon. It was a good idea after four pints of Guinness. When you hit

:19:55.:20:08.

the wall, don't hit the wall! I said I wasn't interested in hitting the

:20:09.:20:13.

wall, I was worried about hitting the road. As the Commonwealth Games

:20:14.:20:19.

are getting underway next year we have the story of an extraordinary

:20:20.:20:22.

runner who went through the pain barrier. His daughter, Joan, tells

:20:23.:20:28.

the story. My dad, Jack Holden, was perhaps England's first great

:20:29.:20:33.

marathon runner. He was successful because, as he once said, you don't

:20:34.:20:39.

run 100 miles a week for fun. So he entered races with the idea that he

:20:40.:20:50.

was going to win. Self confidence. He was the first athlete to take

:20:51.:20:55.

training seriously and indeed to run as many miles. He would be pounding

:20:56.:21:01.

the streets of Tipton and the Black Country three hours each evening.

:21:02.:21:06.

And, he told a tale that on one occasion, when he was running

:21:07.:21:12.

through Bilstone, an old lady with a shawl around her stopped him and

:21:13.:21:17.

said, "young lad, you'll kill yourself if you run all these

:21:18.:21:26.

miles." Well, this is it. This is home, 63 years since I was back

:21:27.:21:30.

here. It's my bedroom up there. We were a very, very happy tight knit

:21:31.:21:36.

family. My mother was absolutely dedicated. She wouldn't go dancing.

:21:37.:21:41.

They wouldn't go to the cinema. They didn't socialise really. She lived

:21:42.:21:48.

for his running. And, you know, he appreciated that. He started running

:21:49.:21:57.

at the six-mile level. Then developed into cross country. He was

:21:58.:22:06.

heading for Auckland New Zealand for the Empire Games, which is now the

:22:07.:22:09.

Commonwealth Games. NEWS REEL:

:22:10.:22:13.

Amongst the 16 starters lining up to run the course are Holden, England,

:22:14.:22:19.

coming into line, Leek South Africa. He was 42. In reality he must have

:22:20.:22:23.

realised because of his age it would be his last chance to win.

:22:24.:22:27.

NEWS REEL: They are away. The four New

:22:28.:22:32.

Zealanders take the lead. The heavens opened. The rain came down.

:22:33.:22:37.

It was running through the gutters. He was running in his hand-made

:22:38.:22:45.

running shoes. They were always made of soft kid leather. Because it was

:22:46.:22:49.

so wet they just fragmented. He took them off. He ran the last nine-miles

:22:50.:22:53.

barefoot. NEWS REEL:

:22:54.:22:56.

Holden has a firm lead of three minutes and is increasing it. His

:22:57.:23:01.

face shows nothing of the pain he must be suffering

:23:02.:23:06.

face shows nothing of the pain he feet. Nothing can stop him now. I

:23:07.:23:08.

said to him, "did it feet. Nothing can stop him now. I

:23:09.:23:13.

barefooted?" He said, "what do you think, of course it hurt."

:23:14.:23:21.

NEWS REEL: Holden crosses the finishing line."

:23:22.:23:31.

Probably my clearest memory was just him coming through the door and

:23:32.:23:36.

putting his arms round us all, and then, sort of, sitting on his lap,

:23:37.:23:43.

looking at the medal, and photographers and reporters being

:23:44.:23:50.

there. He died a few days short of his 97th birthday. He was very

:23:51.:23:54.

caring. Very loving. Very affectionate, a guiding force really

:23:55.:24:03.

in my life. We loved him dearly. You can understand why, can't you? What

:24:04.:24:10.

a regime. You are a proud son of the West Midlands, you live there. You

:24:11.:24:13.

voiced concerns about Birmingham. What is it that worries you? We have

:24:14.:24:20.

had all the very disturbing publicity about Trojan Horse. For

:24:21.:24:24.

years Birmingham has been really good at race relations. We have had

:24:25.:24:31.

little or minor racial problems. Each community often tends to be in

:24:32.:24:37.

certain areas. They have got on. We have been proud of that. With this

:24:38.:24:42.

Trojan Horse thing we are getting worried things might become

:24:43.:24:45.

ghettoised which we really don't want. Birmingham doesn't have a

:24:46.:24:51.

great reputation. Just lately we have had Benefits Street and people

:24:52.:25:03.

scared to death to come to Birmingham. I call Birmingham a

:25:04.:25:15.

KITTY -- Koepp It To Your self-. We will help you celebrate Birmingham

:25:16.:25:20.

this evening. We have a came we are calling Call My Brum. -- Keep.
