15/09/2016 The One Show

Hello and welcome to the One Show with Matt Baker?

Tonight's guest certainly knows what he likes.

And French mustard - don't even get him started on that!

Please welcome the discerning - some might say picky -

APPLAUSE Can we just go back to the Christmas

pudding thing - when did you last have it? One a month, so 12 year.

Have you had September's portion? Yes. You get a double. Christmas

pudding, near obviously... Fantastic! Is it the smell? It is

everything about it. Just... Did you make this? I didn't personally. I

should have lied. No, I didn't. Is it a good one? It is very good.

Smell is a big thing in your while. Can I tell people, as soon as you

sat down, you smell be so far. I smell everything. I noticed this

about you. I make perfume, it's part of what I do. Richard likes Ealing

comedies, and he will tell us why later.

Earlier this year, a takeaway owner was jailed for six years because one

of his customers died after eating a meal that contained nuts.

So those warnings we see on food packaging are important for those

But why are warnings now appearing on foods that don't contain nuts?

Karen Waggott, her eight-year-old son Jamie, and his brother look-mac.

Do not adjust your pictures an they are identical twins. -- Luke. Jamie

suffers from serious food allergies, including peanuts. Whereas Luke can

eat what he wants. He gets itchy and sometimes gets tummy aches. Food

allergies like Jamie's are on the rise and making headlines. In the

last ten years, recorded cases of food allergies have doubled. It's

estimated that one in 50 children now has a peanut allergy. We first

found out when they were about five and a half years old. Dad was eating

some mixed nuts, and Jamie said, can I try one? But when it was in his

mouth he got agitated and upset. He started scratching his neck, very

distressed, and he end up spending two months in the high dependency

unit. Making sure reactions like this don't happen can mean like

simple # Can mean that simple things like a

trip to the shop end up less than simple. Food manufacturers use

simple warnings such as, may contain nuts are or may contain traces of

nuts. I will read the packets when I go shopping, and it must take double

the time. Do you think manufacturers are getting overzealous when it

comes warning people about traces of nuts? When he was first diagnosed,

it seemed that it was about protecting manufacturers and

supermarkets rather than allergy sufferers. Just about every thing

had a warning. We have bought a range of food from a variety of

supermarkets, and file Luke can eat all of it, they all carry those not

warnings. The chocolate, the cottage cheese, the ham, the chocolate

biscuits, the ice cream, the pizza, the popcorn and the serial. Poor

Jamie is left with nothing. I can manage it but it is not a very good

thing for me to have. The Food Standards Agency says the label

should only be used where a real risk exists. The anaphylaxis

campaign charity says that some companies use the warning with their

little reason. We have taken three family favourites that carry the

dreaded morning - a Tesco's Peter, some cost cutter ham and a tub of

Asda ice cream and sent them for testing to see if they do indeed

contain any trace of nuts. Results later. So, why the sudden rise in

food allergies? Is it to do with the way we are living our lives now?

Some people will say your houses to clean, it is the way they were born,

early years, but Luke and Jamie, they had done all those things

together. According to this consultant at Cambridge University

Hospital trust, there are several theories but no hard answers. It

didn't affect our generation but it is a massive problem for our

children. We know that allergy in general is more common. Back in

Didcot, and the results are in. We tested for the nine most common

nuts, so what did we find's one, two, three... I was confident it

would have nuts. This is jam-packed with stuff. What does Jamie think

supermarkets could do better? They know of what is in it and we have no

idea. We had to take a bit more care. Everything seems to have the

warning. That's right. We don't want patients to eat food deliberately

with nuts. These labels that say, may contain traces, are misleading

for top manufacturers need to do better to improve the accuracy,

because patients could find that difficult. Retailers told us that

they used the warning when there is a risk of cross contamination from

other products being made in the same batches. Tesco and cost cutter

stress that they have strict risk assessment processes in place with

suppliers. Cost cutter say that they package in strict accordance with

labelling regulations. Any final words of advice, boys? If you have

an allergy, take it seriously and don't take risks.

Weren't a brilliant? Still eating your Christmas pudding there?

Hopefully, you don't have an allergy. Chris Van Tulleken is here.

Welcome, Chris. Tesco have taken the warning of the pizza. As a GP, is

this a good thing? It is good, a bit late. But it is the brave thing to

do. It would be easy to leave the warnings on everything and that in

demo is them. They have done the courageous thing a bit like. It's

great. The boys are right - don't take any chances with nut allergies.

You have a documentary on tonight looking at whether patients should

keep receiving repeat prescriptions that doctors are giving. How do you

go about doing this? It was a difficult programme to make. We set

up a drug-free clinic where I sat in a surgery in north-east London. It

is a programme I have wanted to make since I left medical school. I have

been a doctor for 14 years, and I work in hospital specialising in

infection. Many drugs do not work as well as we say they do, and patients

don't enjoy taking them, so I wanted to see back I get -- if I could get

people off their bills. Some people need medication to get through a

normal day, so you're not saying that all medication should be

banned? Definitely not. There are some life-saving, miracle

treatments. That has led us to a point where we believe there is a

pill for anything. The drugs we focus on are the drugs that treat

the effect of modern life. Modern life makes it easy for us to be

unfit, overweight and unhappy. We have high cholesterol, joint pain,

depression. We wanted to see if we could do other things in those areas

to see if we could get people off pills. So you had specific cases in

the surgery? Yes. You meet two women in the programme - tell us about

Wendy. She had shoulder and neck pain. She was taking almost an

overdose of paracetamol, I be providing, and codeine for over a

decade, and she believed she needed the painkillers. I was convinced

they were doing her no good, so we set up an experiment to prove to her

that the painkillers weren't working. We gave her two weeks worth

of medicines and mixed in placebo pills with it. We didn't tell Wendy

that for the last five days she didn't get any medicine, only sugar

pills. It was a way of proving to how that she was not dependent on

these drugs. It is a brilliant reaction. He was the moment she

finds out what drugs you have really been giving her. We kept Wendy at

her full dose of codeine for the first week and then reduced

gradually, so she has had no codeine at all for the last five days.

Today, I have had no paracetamol or coding? No. And yesterday, you

didn't have any, nor the day before. You must have a painkiller on Monday

morning. You've had one codeine. You are joking!

What about Sarah? She has depression, doesn't she?

Antidepressants are a complicated group of drugs. There is evidence

they don't work much better than sugar pills, evidence that in young

people they may increase suicidal thoughts. They are hard to come off,

and they may help some people, but Sarah wanted to stop them, so we

decided to package up several different things. She loved

swimming, and exercise helps depression. Being sociable and

overcoming challenges also helps. We packed this into cold water

swimming. There was a bit of science in there in being in the cold water.

As your body adapts to coping with the stress of cold water, it may

adapt to the stress and anxiety that come with depression. You are not

suggesting that older patients with depression should go swimming in

cold water main winter? There are very few people who can't, with

correct supervision and guidance, go swimming in cold water. There are

loads of open water swimming groups that do it outside. Don't do it on

the 1st of January the first time if you have coronary artery disease.

Speak to your GP first. But most of us can go swimming in the sea and

get benefit. Richard, do you take pills? I am on the pill so I don't

become pregnant. It's the only one I take. Some people don't like taking

any. They think it is something they need to do on a daily basis for

others. Whereas you? I never do take them. And many doctors don't. If you

ask a doctor what pills they take, many of us would go to the end is

averse to avoid them. -- to the ends of the Earth. The whole documentary,

the The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs, is on at 9pm on BBC One tonight. 100

years ago today, this magazine hit the newsstands. I love it. British

Vogue. Since then, the great and the good have graced the magazine's

pages, including this stylish young man. Now, Richard... Can we see it

again? Hang on, because Alex and I know that a lot of what goes on in

fashion shoots... How did you end up in that position? What was going on?

It was taken by Lord Snowdon. I had just done my film in America and I

had bought some cowboy boots because I was working in the desert with

cowboys. When I came to have my photograph taken, he said, I love

your boots, we have to see them. That is why he put me in that

position. The lack of flexibility. And back to the Christmas pudding!

Yellow White House have fashions in clothes changed over the years?

That is a nice one. I love that one. I love the blue E ring. The fact

that we three are interested in clothes, it makes it quite a

bonding. We will laugh about things we might have worn, and wonder why.

As someone who wants to impress you with the bees about, I want to

impress you with the way I dress. These are a recent purchase, and I

have a shirt that goes with it. I like it. Voila. My mother was always

stylish. She is more stylish than I am, giving a lot of thought to what

she wears. I and a neighbour of mine, we were the only two who wore

jeans. That would be the early 60s. I remember you wearing that. From a

long time ago. We definitely bond over fashion. We share things. This

jacket has done the rounds, hasn't it? It was mine in the 80s, then I

gave it to you, founded in the back of the car later, got it out, gave

it back to you. Sophie is living in London at the moment. So half are

close here, half of them are there. I go through her wardrobe. Have you

won that since you be claimed it? I wore it the other day, out for

dinner. I raid my mum's wardrobe, a little bit of my grandma's, but I'm

not at home any more, so I can't shop there any more.

If I have a fashion dilemma I will take the pictures and send it to

safety and say, what do you think, this one or this one? There are

jackets. And 80s jacket. That one I would wear. I do not think grandma

and my mum are always right but I will always be honest. How would you

dress me now? It is only clothes. There are more important things but

it is nice to have the joint interest, a bond. I love that film.

I hope we have many more like that. I like the phrase the shirt has a

little argument with the trousers. You are known for your sartorial

style, Richard. Looking lovely tonight. Who influenced you? I don't

know. Matt Baker? Yes, I follow him religiously. I thought it was your

dad. My dad liked to look smart. But he definitely influenced your taste

in film. When you were younger, what films would he bring home for you to

watch? Where I grew up there was no television and he worked in the

education Department and he had a projector that we had at home with a

pull up screen and we watched black and white films, of which many were

Ealing Comedies. That was my history of seeing them the first time and

when I came to live in London in 1982I saw them on TV on a Saturday

and Sunday afternoon. You have a documentary about Ealing Comedies.

They are made in Ealing, but apart from that, what makes a typical

Ealing comedy? Fantastic casts, with actors instantly recognisable. Great

stories, set realistically in a place recognisable, usually in the

50s in London, still half bombed out. They are very funny. I feel

like I have known them all my life, they are like old friends. We can

see you discovering one of your favourites in the archive. Here,

Kind Hearts And Coronets, this grubby old tin. It says Passport To

Pimlico. I am not allowed to do this, but... Oh, my goodness, that

smell is township. Where I grew up in Swaziland we got films once a

week because my father worked in education and we would school them

up. Where do you think we are? In England? We close when I say.

APPLAUSE In Ealing comedy style you have polished off the whole thing.

Do you think there are recent British films that replicate that

style. Hot Fuzz, anarchic, an amazing cast, completely bonkers. We

have had Simon Pegg on, his films are brilliant. You said Ealing

Comedies finished the year you were born. Almost 60 years ago.

starts this Sunday evening at 7 o'clock on Gold.

And thanks to Studio Canal for sending us those

There is one star we have not mentioned from Ealing Comedies. Who?

Come on, everybody, follow me. Benny Hill THEME PLAYS.

Benny Hill. This is David with a romp through the will of Britain's

most famous milkman. In 1971, Benny Hill's novelty song Ernie was

Britain's surprise Christmas number one. In the same year, 21 million of

us tuned in to watch his slapstick humour on the Benny Hill Show. Benny

Hill was one of Britain's biggest ever comedy exports and by the time

he died he was worth a staggering ?7.5 million, ?15 million in today's

money. But when he died in April 1992 he was living in a rented flat

in Teddington with no visible signs of his millions. He was 68 years old

and died alone, slumped in front of his television having suffered a

heart attack. His body was discovered for two days. He had

written a will that almost 30 years before he died. He divided the

fortune between his parents and siblings but he had outlived them

all. So how did this famous entertainer end up dying by himself

in a rented flat with no one left to inherit his millions?

So, what sort of man was Benny Hill? Benny Hill, he was a sweet, shy man,

who loved to make people laugh. His family were rooted in circus. His

father and grandfather worked as clowns. The other family profession

was he drove one of these. We find ourselves in a milk float. He did a

round near Southampton, Benny and found his natural ability to make

people laugh. He was known as the singing Lockman. How did he get into

television? He was a variety comedian working in musicals that

saw the future in TV and went to the head of light entertainment in the

BBC and got his own show in 1951 and had his own show up to 1989. His

shows have lasted a long time, what was their secret? He hit the funny

bone of the nation. For all his success, Benny Hill was not

materialistic. Louise English was one of his leading ladies in the

80s. He was not into money, it did not mean anything to him. He did not

have a flashy car, he did not own property. He had a simple life. By

the late 80s his brand of bawdy, seaside humour was criticised for

being old-fashioned and sexist. Ernie was only 52, he didn't want to

die, now he has gone to make liveries in the milk round in the

sky. In 1989 his show was cancelled and three years later he died. He

came to see me at the Adelphi Theatre. It was the Easter weekend

approaching and after the matinee I waved him goodbye. And I think he

died that weekend. Some years after his death, a former colleague

claimed that he had written a note to changes will and to leave money

to his leading ladies. He had a piece of paper that was found with

names and amounts of money next to, so I was told about this note. I did

not see it myself but I was told about it and I was touched by it. He

joked in the past, Liddell Hart, when I go, I will leave you a

million. I answered, lovely, when I go, I will leave you a tenner! --

little heart. But no money was given? No, because it was not a

will, his will had been written previously and it was left to his

family and it would automatically go down the line, which is right. In

the end, his fortune was divided between his nieces and nephews. The

mysterious note was never found. # Kearney, and he drove the fastest

milk cart in the west. Isn't it nice he gave it to his leading lady. He

did not. They could not find the note. If you want to know more about

Will writing and probate issues, head to the website. Richard, we

have the original script from a Benny Hill movie. Who Done It. And I

cannot smell it. Wow. It is a bit dusty. From speedy milkmen to

conservationist wills. We will let Mike explained.

I am on a mission to join up with an all-female team who are working day

and night to help conserve Britain's biggest butterfly. The swallowtail.

They are making use of technology. If I text them, they will send back

GPS coordinates to guide me in. One Show here, where are you? All I have

to do now is wait. That was quick! That was a short message. Just

coordinates. That way. British swallowtails are one of our rarest

butterflies and found in just one part of the country, Norfolk,

because their caterpillars rely on milk parsley that thrives in the

wetlands here. Last century, reads and sedges like these were harvested

for thatching, which allowed the swallowtails' food plant to survive,

but with the invention of new roofing materials and land being

drained for farming, milk parsley declined and the population of

swallowtails plummeted. We could have met in a cafe! That way. The

swallowtail population reached an all-time low in the 70s, but thanks

to intensive work from conservationists like those I am

about to meet, numbers have gradually recovered. And here they

are. Ladies, you took some tracking down. It is lovely to meet you. Yes,

they are wills and they are crucial to the conservation of swallowtails.

Add the reserve manager can explain. And also tell me how these wills

became tech savvy. Hello. Mike. They are lovely. How come they have

managed to send me a text? It gets down to one of the ladies at the

back, she has a GPS unit and you send a message to it and it sends a

location to your phone. You can monitor where they are going to?

Every hour the GPS sends data so we can see where they are moving and

where they are grazing will stop it is the grazing that is crucial for

the survival of the swallowtail. They graze selectively, avoiding

milk parsley and munching the taller plants that can shade it out. To

round off their efforts, they will even plant seeds. They are caught in

the cloven hooves and pushed into the soft earth as they walk. For

proof their hard work is paying off, we are searching for milk parsley in

the hope we will spot a swallowtail caterpillar. This way. That is a

statuesque specimen. Look at that. That is not a caterpillar, that is

bird to. It is not, it is great camouflage. Presumably as it grows

it will strip the vegetation. They grow ten times the size in four

weeks, they are quick and active growers. Eating machines. Without

the wills doing their work, the chances are the milk parsley would

not be as vigorous and the butterflies would not be here. With

their bovine backers it looks like Britain's biggest butterfly has a

bright future. So many wonderful conservationists

out there. The Hebridean sheep do a good job also. On that note, we can

say goodbye. Good luck with the Ealing Comedies series which starts

on Sunday night. We have run out of Christmas pudding but we will say

thank you to Chris van Tulleken. His programme called The Doctor Who Gave

Up Drugs is on tonight on BBC One. I will have my dancing shoes tomorrow

because Gary Barlow will be here, and Christine and the Queens. And

wait and see
